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.
