Health-Conscious Firm Receives Positive Response for New Healthy Product

Health-Conscious Firm Receives Positive Response for New Healthy Product

Miami manufacturer enjoys positive reception by retailers for their economical Do It Yourself Tofu Kit®. Now consumers can make healthy Tofu at home for pennies a portion.

Miami, FL (PRWEB) September 10, 2005

Tofu4You®, a Division of TechnExperts, Inc. of Miami celebrates continued positive reception by Retailers for their Do-It-Yourself Tofu Kit®.

"We see a definite need in our niche markets, and we are beginning to feel it", says Marketing Director Emil Nunet. "Apparently there is a good demand for our Do It Yourself Tofu Kit® and since the price is within easy reach, people are taking advantage", he adds. Tofu is one of the oldest "health foods" with more than a two thousand year history of tasty enjoyment world-wide.

The Tofu4You® Do-It-Yourself Kit allows just about anyone, following the easy instructions included, to make delicious healthful Tofu, in their own kitchen, for pennies a portion. The kit uses inexpensive Soybeans readily available in most Health and Natural Food Stores. No special skill is needed. The Kit is a 100% American made product.

Aside from being a tasty and inexpensive source of Complete Protein, Tofu has been credited with helping to reduce the impact of menopause in women and with reducing susceptability to certain cancers in men. Isoflavones (phytoestrogens) have been identified as the natural nutrients that Tofu provides, among others. Tofu also reduces cholesterol and works to slow Osteoporosis, according to research studies.

The Do-It-Yourself Tofu Kit® is available in Health Food and Specialty shops in the U. S. and Canada and is attracting consumer attention. "We have a web site at www. tofu4you. com where people can securely order on-line via PayPal, however, we are in discussions with several large distributors to more quickly get into local stores on a broader national front", says Nat Ritter, one of the kit’s developers. "The Kit is ideal for Vegans and "Do-It-Yourselfers" as well as all those who prefer freshness and absolute purity in the healthy foods they eat", he observes. The Kit makes up to fifteen pounds of Fresh Tofu, is reusable and requires no electricity. Consumable supplies and Tofu-related accessories may be ordered on-line or by mail direct from Tofu4You®.

Developers Create Environmental Terrorism in Texas; Lone Texan Fights Back

Developers Create Environmental Terrorism in Texas; Lone Texan Fights Back

Three Sick People, 15 Dead Sheep, 10 More Not Expected To Live, 2 Sick Horses, radioactive strontium and chemicals in Garlic Creek could make this one man's fight worse than any civilized war.

Buda, TX (PRWEB) May 16, 2006

According to Sam Braswell of Buda, Texas, it's worse than the old west. The bad guys are big land developers with deep pockets and a developer friendly city, county and state governments.

"They cut and destroyed fences; destroyed watershed; uprooted old trees then built a dam, using contaminated landfill across Garlic Creek," Braswell said. "All on our side of the property line and without permission or warning. The City of Buda, according to construction plans showing the encroachment, knew about it and despite the highly protested project by local citizens allowed this invasion to happen."

A Special Investigations Officer of the Texas Commission for Environmental Quality (TCEQ) responded to Braswell's call immediately. The Lower Colorado River Authority laboratory analyzed the landfill and found it included Arsenic, Barium, Chromium, Lead, Zinc and Mercury plus Hydrocarbons.

If that wasn't enough, three weeks later on July 6, after a mishap at the dam, they pumped an unknown substance into the creek. The contractor wouldn't identify the substance.

Dead frogs, salamanders, deer, possum, two skunks a wild turkey and two raccoons have been found.

The sheep died a horrible death. Their teeth tightly clinched with their tongues sticking out of the side of their mouths. They were emaciated and losing clumps of hair.

After contacting regulating and enforcement departments from city, county and state levels, the Braswells quickly realized they were on their own. At this point, with no help on the way the Braswells started collecting evidence. About three thousand date stamped pictures create a time line of documentary evidence.

It was discovered through hair analysis that Braswell's daughter has an extraordinarily high amount of strontium within her body. The TCEQ Criminal Investigator detected gamma radiation at the dam. The Investigator's dosimeter registered five roentgens of gamma radiation within fifteen minutes at the site! Will flooding water contaminate the land, pastures, and the creek downstream? Will residents of a very close subdivision downhill be impacted?

Ruben Cortez, safety officer for Texas Department of Health's radiation control branch, was quoted in the Daily Texan as saying he "hasn't heard of levels this high in this part of the country since nuclear testing stopped in the 1960s."

"You can't count on any governmental agency to come to your rescue," Braswell said. Based on his experience, Braswell has written an eBook setting forth details with a "How To" plan for the individual citizen when facing out of control development. "People must know what they are up against and how and what to do about it. Braswell said.

How Health Plans Can Turn Customer Touch Points into a Competitive Advantage – Whitepaper Release

How Health Plans Can Turn Customer Touch Points into a Competitive Advantage – Whitepaper Release

Arcadia Solutions, a national consultancy providing unique IT solutions for the healthcare industry, announces a new whitepaper on the topic: How Health Plans Can Turn Customer Touch Points into a Competitive Advantage.

Burlington, MA (PRWEB) May 18, 2010

Arcadia Solutions (http://www. arcadiasolutions. com/), a national consultancy providing unique IT solutions for the healthcare industry, announces a new whitepaper on the topic: How Health Plans Can Turn Customer Touch Points into a Competitive Advantage.

Vital to health plan growth is the continued and improved interaction with members, providers, employers and brokers over multiple communication channels. Health plan executives seek to enhance the effectiveness and efficiencies of these channels and the constituent touch points the represent. Executives are challenged by the sheer number of vendor options, legacy connectivity, budget constraints, change management requirements, process re-alignment, timing, and more.

The message behind Arcadia Solutions’ new whitepaper is based on years of health plan solutions delivery. It focuses on a comprehensive set of key touch points and how best to match and leverage the technologies available with strategy, processes, and organizational requirements, moving beyond financial benefit to broad customer satisfaction and risk mitigation benefits. The whitepaper delivers a compelling overview of the roadmap and metrics required to develop your portfolio of channel initiatives including:

 Why Do Health Plans Struggle to Prioritize Their Efforts?  Understanding How Health Plans Interact With People  How to Assess Potential Value Creation  Health Plan Channel Maturity Model – the Touch Point Frontier

“Health plans have no clear picture of the value of their channel portfolio, where to make investments, nor the potential value of the investments they are already making,” said Greg Chittim, Principal Consultant at Arcadia. “By measuring and understanding channels’ contribution to the financial health, customer satisfaction, and risk mitigation efforts of a plan, IT and business executives can make informed decisions that drive their strategic goals.” continues Greg.

In addition to the thought leadership highlighted in this whitepaper, Arcadia offers vast IT solutions across all sectors of the healthcare industry. To request this whitepaper or receive more information on our other services, visit us at www. arcadiasolutions. com.

I can't tell which tattoo is worse! Is it this unicorn with a broken/ jello neck?



... or these little scratchy buddies? They are both so bad!

bad tattoo

If anyone has any idea what the story behind these tattoos is, I would LOVE to know!

Why Would Anyone Get Feet Tattoo?

Here are some pictures of foot tattoos

Find good foot tattoos on great-tattoo-designs.blogspot.com
The question is a valid one. People usually get tattoos because they are a visual representation of something important to the wearer. If a person really wants to physically exhibit a pictorial image, why get feet tattoo?
foot tattoos images

First of all, people don’t always wear footwear that fully covers their feet. Women especially wear open footwear, and feet tattoo would be seen more often than not. This would apply to men as well who live in warmer climates, since they would often be wearing sandals or flip-flops.
beautiful female foot tattoos

Secondly, feet are a very attractive part of the body for many people. Having a foot fetish is not as uncommon as many people think it is. In this case, getting feet tattoo could be an extremely titillating enticement to attract some wanted attention to an area of the body that can be a real turn-on for some people. An erotic bit of artful ink on an ankle or an instep would be a welcome surprise to a new partner if they were seeing feet tattoo for the first time representing some exciting sexual iconography.
foot tattoos


Another reason that someone would get feet tattoo could be the very reason that feet are covered the majority of the time. Not everyone gets a tattoo to boldly let the world know their feelings. Some people are more subtle. Feet tattoo would suit this kind of person perfectly, because they would have the satisfaction of wearing ink without anyone knowing, unless they decide to let someone in on their little secret.

tattoo design - tattoo art Cowboygirl up!

This gem was submitted by a reader. It's actually not that bad... technically it's good, and I get the funny "cowboy up" twist on phrasing. The floating hat is a little weird, but I've seen a million worse tattoos. It did get me into searching for some cowboy tattoos though, and look what I found!



Same artist or inspiration? I kind of like it...

However, there are some truly terrible cowboy tattoos out there, which I am happy to share with you.


I love his tiny feet! They're so dainty!


This poor cowboy only has one foot.


And this is from the anime series Cowboy Bebop, so it's a different kind of cowboy... but it's so terrible I had to share.

Cool dragon tattoos for men

Do you love the dragon tattoos? There are western and eastern dragon tattoos, no matter what they mean, but these kind of tattoos are really awesome! Men do love Dragon tattoos.

For men, most of dragon tattoo designs do not include color—mostly because men tend to believe that adding color makes the tattoo less masculine and more feminine. There are different dragon tattoo designs in color that can be for both men and women.
dragon tattoo designs for men

One of the nice things about dragon tattoos with no color at all is that it is unisex; both men and women can use the design. However, just adding a little bit of color to it, maybe just to outline it would make a huge difference in the appearance and the beauty of the tattoo.
One of these designs is a blue dragon in an upright flying position, with a green underside and orange flames all around it. When thinking about whether or not the tattoo is best for males or females, it is really all about the color scheme. With the blue dragon, this is mostly for men because it is fierce and powerful. If the tattoo were different shades of pink than quite obviously no man would be caught dead with that design. It is for a woman to have.

Cool Arm Tattoo Designs for men

Neck Star Tattoos

As you know, the star tattoo is very popular these days, my friend said that at least 10 people get star tattoo everyday. This is a nice little neck tattoo. A heart on top of a heart on top of a heart. I’m not sure what it is meant to mean to this person, if anything. The artwork is lower end but good enough for what this neck tattoo is. And of course this tattoo is one of those that few people will ever notice. More of a personal thing. You can search on Google to find more star tattoo inspiration, but I suggest you get tattoo designs from paid websites.

Angelina Jolie's Tattoos Pictures

Angelina Jolie has the phrase "know your rights" tattooed just below the base of her neck.

The tattoo has become more and more popular these days, a lot people around me are got gorgeous tattoos! From tribal to star, from butterfly to dragon, really cool! Of course, a lot celebrities are get tattoos. Today we talking about Angelina Jolie's tattoos.

Angelina Jolie is an American actress and Goodwill Ambassador for the UN Refugee Agency. She has received three Golden Globe Awards, two Screen Actors Guild Awards, and an Academy Award.I love Angelina very much.


Angelina's back tattoos has been edited and added to almost as much as her arms, if not moreso. She used to wear the Japanese kanji that translated to "death" on her left shoulder, but that tattoo was covered over with an elaborate Buddhist prayer of protection. It is a Sanskrit blessing in the Cambodian language, and she has said it is to honor her first adopted son Maddox.
Angelina Jolie's Tattoos Pictures


Her lower back is the area that has been added to the most. Originally she had two tiny tribal-style designs on either side of her spine and a small dragon. However on a trip to Thailand, she had that work topped by a large tiger design.

How to Tattoo- The process of tattooing

The art of tattooing is not a difficult task at all. The people who seek to join this profession will know that a little training is all they need and they can become tattoo professionals. The basic technique of tattooing involves a stencil and the gun machines that engrave the tattoo in to the skin with a proper ink. First the customer selects the design that he or she wished to support on their body. Then an outline or a pattern of that design is made. The right body part for the design is selected and the outline of the design is tattooed on that body part using a stencil. For the outlining a gun machine is used which engraves the outline in black ink. Then the lines are filled with colorful ink giving shape to the proper tattoo that the customer wanted to wear.

So the next time you ask yourself ‘how to tattoo?’ just follow the above techniques or search for the detailed process on the internet. But it is to be taken care of that no one should try to tattoo with out any professional guidance as it can be very dangerous. A little training from the professionals is necessary. The art of tattooing involves a good imagination and creativity. It is the talent of those who can think innovatively and come up with new ideas that can catch the attention of all. A tattoo needs to be striking to look at and endearing to one who supports it. The art of tattooing involves talent and is not a cup of tea for every body.
