Heart Health Resources will guide you through the many different factors that affect the health and vitality of your heart and body.

James McCreary, the owner of the site, provides useful information related to the human body with helpful resources to address declining health. Educating people about heart health and suggesting solutions to improve their health is the service provided by the site.

Coronary artery disease or atherosclerosis is a condition in which plaque builds up inside the arteries that carry blood to the heart. As the artery walls thicken, the passageway for blood narrows. Sometimes platelets gather at the narrowing, forming a clot that decreases or prevents blood flow to the region of the heart supplied by the artery. Heart Health Resources provides detailed information on the issues pertaining to the heart and circulation and suggests suitable measures to tackle the problems of heart disease and poor circulation.

Coronary heart disease is the number one killer of Americans, both men and women. Stroke is the third leading cause of death and a major cause of some serious disabilities. Healthy eating habits can help to reduce heart risks but it is equally important to know other ways that can help you to improve the condition of your heart.

Your heart beats 100,000 times a day—that’s more than 36 million times a year. The more knowledge you have about heart disease and suggestions of how to avoid or correct it, the better your chances are of having a healthy heart.

In the Internet market, online storage business is growing at an unprecedented rate. There is no end to the amount of data, which are being stored by businesses and web sites. According to ComputerWorld, over the past three years, companies have seen a fifty-fold increase of data storage space. As data requirements continue to grow, individuals and businesses are looking beyond the traditional methods of storing data: online storage services like HugeDrive.com.

The HugeDrive Online Storage Service is a new “Web 2.0” browser-based, secure file upload and management system that gives online users an alternative to store data on their local hard drive. With a wide variety of features, aimed to help web masters, bloggers, offices and individuals to make the most of online storage, HugeDrive offers up a friendly Web 2.0 browser interface that feels as familiar as the Windows desktop file folder interface. There are no software downloads needed, and nothing to install to use HugeDrive – everything is managed from a web browser (compatible with any operating system, including Microsoft Windows 98/Me/2000/XP/Vista, Apple’s Mac OS and iPhone, and any cell phone with web browser access).

HugeDrive users can upload files using their browser window and securely manage their data (with the ability to control via the same online interface, able to download individual file and folder and can edit documents). HugeDrive includes easy-to-use features such as customizable file access permissions, the ability to add additional users and passwords to the account, and the ability to restore deleted or previously modified files (similar to a MS Windows or Mac OS recycle bin). Users can make specific files private or public; i.e. anyone can access those files from anywhere across the globe just using their web browser.

The HugeDrive Online Storage service facilitates the ability to share large files (documents, zip files, images, videos, databases, etc.) via email, forums, and blogs. Files and entire file folders are made available to the recipient via a simple web link which looks similar to http://hugedrive.com/files/document.doc.

One of the most unique aspects to the HugeDrive.com Online Storage service is the capability to create web file folder widgets. These file sharing widgets may be placed inside web sites, forums, blogs, or pages within online services such as Facebook.com or MySpace.com. These HugeDrive web file folder widgets look just like a traditional Windows or Mac OS file folder — with any files you wish to share inside — but have the added ability of enabling uploading and editing of your web file folder contents, from people visiting the widget. With HugeDrive.com Online Storage service you can literally turn your blog or web page into a high performance e-book distribution download medium, transform your MySpace.com page into a music distribution site, or turn your company support web page into a customer upload and download software page.

Business expert Bob Young tells business TV channel how the internet gives unprecedented power to consumers.

England, UK, August 28,2008 — It’s no longer enough to say you have a great product. In the online age, it has to be true because today, more than ever, people talk. That’s the harsh reality of business today according to business expert and online entrepreneur Bob Young, as told to business TV producer yourBusinessChannel.

“The internet connects every single one of your customers, not just to you but to each other. So you produce a lemon of a car and you won’t know where to hide because your customers are going to tell each other about it and then the rest of the world about it.

“It’s actually a fundamentally healthy thing form a consumer point of view. It is a hell of a burden from a businessmen’s point of view,” he says.

The winner of multiple awards for entrepreneurship and internationally recognized business expert, Young, features in yourBusinessChannel’s Business Legends series of business TV shows.

The founder and CEO of leading self-publishing website Lulu.com (http://www.lulu.com), Young was one of the first people in the world to harness the power of the online community when he created the Fortune 500 software company Red Hat, which smashed previous records for first day trading when it went public on the New York Stock Exchange in 1999.

A business expert who is a huge believer that the future is online, Young is optimistic that the internet offers plenty of upside. “If you do have a better product suddenly you have these businesses that grow like topsy.”

In a unique joint venture between Soft Power Education – a British-registered, non profit empowering primary school education in Uganda- social networking website Facebook and innovative Facebook application Coinjars, a new way to fundraise is now live. Combining cutting edge eMoney technologies with the power of social networking, Soft Power Education is actively seeking donations from all over the world to help them in their effort to make a difference in Uganda.

(Gibraltar; August 27, 2008) – Long after the political instability and dictatorship of former Ugandan President Idi Amin, the country has remained in the ranks of least developed nations. Despite its wealth in terms of beauty and vast natural resources, it has ironically remained poor, with its people languishing in extreme forms of poverty with little access to education.

Soft Power Education has been working to help provide a better future to children in Jinja, Uganda through education.

“Our aim is to develop and improve educational facilities for children, mainly those in the primary level,” Ms. Hannah Small said, trustee and founder of Soft Power Education.

Based in Jinja, Uganda, Soft Power Education is a British-registered, non religious charitable organization and Ugandan NGO that has been helping children and local communities in the area through its Primary School Refurbishment Programme.

“We initially built two preschools for AIDS orphans and for the last five years, we have been involved in the refurbishment of over 30 government primary schools in the Budondo, Mafubira, Butagaya sub-counties of Jinja as well as several schools around the Murchison Falls Conservation Area.,” Ms. Small proudly stated.

From the School Refurbishment Programme, other projects have grown – The inspiring Amagezi Education Centre where children come to experience hands on, inclusive learning in Art, Drama, ICT, Agriculture and Drama. The centre also doubles as a community centre offering hands on skills based courses for members of the surrounding community. The Murchison Project based in the Murchison Falls Conservation Area aims to involve the surrounding communities in the conservation efforts in a bid to enable them to benefit from the growing tourism in the area.

“As Daisaku Ikeda of Harvard University said, the moving force of history has shifted from “hard power,” or military and political might, to that of “soft power,” or knowledge and information, culture, ideas, and systems. That is where we got our name,” Ms. Small shared.

People working for Soft Power Education say they are fortunate enough to find themselves in the position of being able to affect a phenomenal improvement in the lives and education of children in Jinja. But they need support.

“As they say, there is strength in numbers. We cannot do this alone. We need the help of others,” one of Soft Power Education’s volunteer said.

To continue with its mission of making a difference in the lives of Ugandan children and their families, Soft Power Education is actively seeking donations and volunteers in the United Kingdom, Europe and the rest of the world.

“Soft Power Education is 100% charity, so everything you donate will go into our projects, enabling all of us to make a difference to lives of Uganda’s children,” Ms. Small explained.

Thankfully, doing charity in the modern world need not be confined in the conventional limits of time and space. Right in the comfort of one’s home, with a simple click of the mouse or tap on the keyboard, those interested in helping Uganda’s children through Soft Power Education can easily send in their donations.

“If you are also into Facebook, like most people are, you just have to add the Coinjars application and you are ready to help make a difference in Uganda,” Ms. Small enthused.

Coinjars is a wallet application built on the iCoins platform that includes a fully secured and licensed eMoney issuer. iCoins is a digital cash mechanism designed to allow cash transactions between disparate and unrelated wallet systems in the digital era. iCoins are what bank notes are in the real world.

Coinjars enables the sending and receiving of donations right within Facebook. Donors can fund their Coinjars accounts via credit card, bank transfer or Paypal. Fundraisers and donation recipients, on the other hand, can withdraw via the same mechanisms. The best thing about the transactions is that while they are digital they remain free. Recipients will receive the money as is and without any deductions.

For more information on Coinjars, visit its Facebook page at http://www.facebook.com/apps/application.php?id=6489937223

Meanwhile, interested parties may visit http://www.facebook.com/pages/Soft-Power-Education/26342957259 to know more about the Soft Power group and how you can start donating via iCoins and Coinjars.

Portable webcast system streams underwater vehicle competition via satellite internet

San Juan Capistrano, CA, August 26, 2008 — TodoCast, the innovator of the world’s first affordable, portable, live satellite-to-web video streaming system, today announced the success of live underwater video streaming at this year’s 11th Annual International Autonomous Underwater Vehicle Competition held earlier this month. Sponsored by the Association for Unmanned Vehicle Systems International (AUVSI), the U.S. Office of Naval Research (ONR), and TodoCast, the event featured 25 teams who competed in the design and construction of an AUV capable of navigating realistic underwater missions.

Spectators who were not able to physically go to the event, could for the first time, watch the competition live via the Internet. Ground and elevated videography services, including provisions of production equipment, cameras and crews and were provided by Solana Productions, Inc, with underwater video feeds provided by SeaBotix, Inc. Above ground and underwater video content was then encoded to Flash using the Kulabyte encoder, a standard component of the TodoCast Kit. In addition, TodoCast provided the satellite feed and content distribution services which enabled AUVSI, with support from Solana Productions and SeaBotix, to pull off the event live via satellite for the first time.

“The seamlessness and additional viewing opportunities that TodoCast provided, was absolutely fantastic. We are thrilled at the prospect of bringing this event to an even wider audience,” stated Daryl Davidson, Executive Director of AUVSI. “TodoCast not only made live video streaming possible, but enabled a graceful execution of a longtime goal and far exceeded our expectations,” Davidson concluded.

“I was very impressed with the TodoCast system and enjoyed the expertise and support of the TodoCast crew,” stated Executive Producer of Solana Productions, Kurt Snider. “While live video streaming is not a new venture, TodoCast is the first webcasting solution I’ve seen that takes remote connectivity and onsite technical challenges off the table. With TodoCast you truly can go anywhere, shoot anything and in mere moments be connected to a live Internet viewing audience,” Snider concluded.

“We too were pleased with how everything turned out,” said Sean Newsome, Sales Manager of SeaBotix, Inc, whose commercial ROV was piloted by student interns to film the event from beneath the water. “As the fastest growing manufacturer of remotely operated vehicles and a longtime supporter of the Autonomous Underwater Vehicle Competition, we were extremely pleased by the whole event. The effortless integration, functionality and quality of TodoCast was an unexpected added benefit,” stated Newsome.

The vehicles developed by more than 200 students from 25 schools worldwide, were required to traverse a complex underwater course that consisted of navigating through an underwater gate, releasing a buoy, following a pipeline, dropping markers, lifting a “treasure,” and surfacing within a breach zone. The vehicles had to achieve these missions autonomously, meaning they are not remotely controlled but are programmed to sense their surroundings and respond accordingly, independent of any external control by an operator.

Featuring a .96 meter one touch auto-deploy satellite antenna, the TodoCast kit, which comes complete with all electronics premounted in a Gator G-Shock Rack Case, offered a high-quality live video webcast of the underwater competition. The stream was released in standard definition at 600Kbps Flash, allowing the largest possible audience to view the content at home on either a MAC or PC. TodoCast services are available in Standard Definition as we as High-Definition with data rates from 400Kbps to over 4Mbps.

“TodoCast truly provided an unexpected solution and an opportunity for an entirely new audience to participate in the event,” stated TodoCast Director of Global Video Services, Brian Roland. The complete mobility, quality broadcast and fast deployment that enabled event organizers to stream the event live in just a few minutes was a huge success,” Roland concluded.

As the first portable solution for pay-per-view and live video content, the TodoCast Kit, offers a turnkey satellite webcasting system. Mounted to most vehicles, TodoCast provides videographers the freedom of mobility with guaranteed quality broadcasting bandwidth. Professional videographers can access the TodoCast CDN Streaming Media Hosting, to upload and promote live events capable of generating revenue from any location.

The Annual International Autonomous Underwater Vehicle Competition has captured the imagination of students, industry, the media and now the internet viewing audience worldwide and has been featured on internationally televised broadcasts, radio and print outlets around the world.

The colour palette is one of warm tones with fuschia and teal bringing some bright facets to the clothes. There are two main prints introduced with this collection. The elegant extravagant multicoloured exotic ‘Virginia Bubble’ which will lend much needed colour to grey autumn days as well as not looking out of place in a typical Indian Summer. The other design is more earthy and traditional, inspired by botanical illustration it is memory of summers past and evokes timeless style onto the many different pieces it is seen on.

The patterns are backed up with a range of jersey seperates which allow the customer to mix and match and to layer clothes according to the ever changeable British weather.

The real excitement of this collection is the addition of a boiled wool range. This completes the collection with a range of jackets and a fantastic unstructured boiled wool coat. Boiled wool is another descriptive term for felted cloth, the yarn is first dyed, then knitted and finally shrunk without the use of chemicals. The result is a functional material which can be made to different thicknesses and is a amazingly waterproof. Many people think of woollen clothing as scratchy but boiled wool is one of the softest most durable fabrics on the market.

The collection also sees an amazing array of jewellery that will add a personal touch to any outfit. The glass rings on sale are particularly delightful and bring a touch of contemporary style to an old classic.

Top Government Officials Meet with New York Developer to Discuss $60 Million Project

Miami, August 15, 2008– Cabarete, the sun-soaked beach town in the Dominican Republic, has been on the radar of those in-the-know for years. Now, Sackman, Enterprises, Inc. is set to bring this jewel to a wider market. Conveniently located only 20 minutes from the Puerto Plata International Airport, Cabarete on the northern coast has become the ultimate destination for trend setters, adventure seekers, and those looking for a blissful escape from the everyday. With more than 40 years in the real estate market and an earned reputation of quality in business and development, there is no better or more prepared company to create the first spectacular development in the area than Sackman Enterprises, Inc.

Sackman Enterprises, Inc. began its business by focusing on the restoration of historic brownstones in Manhattan and has continued to thrive by rehabilitating historic buildings and incorporating traditional “Old World” features into new construction properties. Possessing a portfolio of over 80 developments spanning the globe, the company has created truly stunning and unique properties such as Somerset in Turks and Caicos (www.thesomerset.com) and The Lodge at Keyah Grande (www.keyahgrande.com). With an attention for detail and a high-regard and respect for the traditions, culture, and preservation of the area, Sackman Enterprises, Inc. is poised to bring The Fountains, a magnificent condominium, retail plaza, and resort community to Cabarete.

Sackman Enterprises, Inc. recently held a meeting in Manhattan to showcase some of the real estate developments in their impressive portfolio and discuss this grand project. In a showing of support and interest, the Minister of Tourism from the Dominican Republic and the Governor of the Province of Puerto Plata personally flew up to Manhattan to meet with top Sackman executives, Carter Sackman and Jamie Hefelfinger, as well as Sackman Development Partner, Trip Brooks. The esteemed attendees discussed the project and all of the positive impacts that it will have on the area.

The Fountains will be the realization of over sixteen months of planning and research and a future investment exceeding sixty million dollars (USD $60,000,000.00). Development Partner Trip Brooks states, “With the current administration including President Leonel Fernandez, Minister of Tourism Felix Jiménez, Provincial Governor Cesar de Los Santos, and the Sub Secretary of Tourism Bernardita de Fenke, the government has created a stable atmosphere and positive market in which to develop such a project. We have unwavering confidence in the country’s administration. Their show of support and the efforts they took to visit us in New York to ensure that the project and its developers are sound speaks volumes about their care and concern for the area. The Fountains will truly be a result of love for the area and an unmatched expertise in the development of real estate.”

Expected to break ground Mid-September 2008, The Fountains will feature one, two, and three bedroom units, all with indulgent spa bathrooms, 24-hour concierge service, and a modern chef’s kitchen. The Fountains will house a sprawling “Plaza Level” featuring retail shops, a cinema, open air kiosks, sitting areas, exciting water features, and a state of the art stage for outdoor concerts and other entertainment and social events. When fully constructed, the mixed use project will include an approximately 500 space sublevel parking facility, a Condo Hotel, featuring deluxe guest rooms and suites, lobby bar, rooftop terrace and bar, restaurant, a stunning infinity pool and numerous hot tubs with mountain and ocean views.

BLESSO PROPERTIES ANNOUNCES LATEST PROJECT AT 112 WASHINGTON PLACE

Historic Renovation Sets the Standard for Contemporary-Classic Living

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: (New York, NY, August 11, 2008) – Blesso Properties (BP), a Manhattan-based real estate development firm with numerous record-breaking sales in Manhattan, has announced the company’s newest project – the restoration of a Federal townhouse in the West Village, set for completion this fall. Transforming 112 Washington Place, a neglected 1832 townhouse into a modern, historically-inspired residence was no easy feat, but with two other West Village townhouse gut renovations recently completed and sold for record prices, BP was equipped to take on another.

When BP initially toured 112 Washington two years ago, passersby assumed the building was abandoned. The home was actually occupied by a gentleman whose family had owned the property for more than one hundred years and it had remained almost unchanged during that time. “Walking into the house was like walking into a time capsule explains project architect Andrea Steele of ANDArchitects, “We found newspapers from the late 1800s, flags with thirteen stars, and tax filings in Quill pen… the entire home was being held together by layers of paint.” With the residence in such a neglected state yet so rich in history, the challenge was to preserve the original fundamental “context” while converting the townhouse into a modern dwelling deserving of its setting in of the world’s most sought after neighborhoods. BP is a firm of historic preservationists and makes every attempt to salvage and restore the unique elements that are uncovered in each project. 112 Washington presented enormous challenges—the front façade was literally slipping off the building, for instance—but BP still managed to save and reuse key elements such as the fireplaces and the doorknobs.

The extensive renovation process began in the home’s parlor where dramatic light and unique proportions brought to mind another era. “As the focal point of the townhome, we wanted to treat the parlor as a found object while we renovated around it,” explains Steele. In order to expand on the flood of natural light, a double-height living room was created for a stronger connection to the magnificent outdoor garden, while details such as David Weeks light fixtures and a wood-burning fireplace were added. The large garden, an unusual luxury in Manhattan, connects to the living room through a dramatic windowed wall, generating stunning views through the building of the tree-lined streets and creating a true indoor-outdoor feeling year-round. The front façade was restored to its original glory, and boasts early details such as wrought-iron railings, fluted columns, and a majestic entrance under the unique transom. BP strived to bring the building back to its former glory where possible while thoroughly updating other elements to satisfy today’s discerning buyer.

Upon its completion this fall, 112 Washington Place will be a new example of “classic meets contemporary”, complete with modern amenities such as a video/intercom security system with multiple stations and Sonos multi-room audio systems. Lavish finishes in this grand 3,500 square foot residence will include 5-inch North American black walnut floors and stairs, white carrera marble, four fireplaces, and custom, handmade millwork.

Rarities such as a finished basement, a full-floor master bedroom/bathroom suite, and a penthouse addition complete with entertainment room, wet bar and roof deck, make this four-story townhome a sought-after residence that will set a new standard for elegant downtown living.

ABOUT BP:

Blesso Properties, the innovative firm from banker-turned-developer Matthew Blesso, is making a big impression on New York City real estate. The company’s unconventional approach has earned numerous design awards and rapid sell-outs previously unseen in competing markets including highest average sellout for any building north of 111th Street and highest price per square foot of any five-story walk-up in New York history. By employing creative design, eco-friendly methods, and a goal of transforming underutilized buildings into premier residences, BP produces unique and stunning environments with sensitivity to the character of their neighborhoods. The recent sell-out of a Harlem loft (some units above asking price), as well as two townhouses in the West Village, prove that BP’s formula for success pays off even when the market is weak.
