A Secret City Beneath the Indian Ocean: Nonprofit Movement Challenges Traditional History in New Documentary Film, Dwarka: Atlantis of the East

Leave a comment

Is the buried city of Dwarka the oldest civilization known to man? Did it house anachronistic technologies like flying machines and even nuclear weapons? The Ancient Explorers Movement answers these questions in the world premiere online screening of their debut documentary film, “Dwarka: Atlantis of the East”.

Encinitas, CA, May 01, 2014 (Straight Line PR) — The Ancient Explorers Movement have announced a free online screening of their debut documentary film, Dwarka: Atlantis of The East. The film aims to educate the public on the truth behind the ancient Indian city of Dwarka, and why this site may force historians to reconsider certain long-held assumptions about early civilizations and technology.

“It’s astonishing that nobody has told this story yet, because what we found on a recent expedition to modern-day Dwarka was unprecedented,” says Amish Shah, Founder of The Ancient Explorers. “We tracked down evasive government officials, learned of abruptly disbanded excavation teams, and even found strange ancient artifacts washed up on the shores of Dwarka that seem to poke large holes in our existing historical timelines and assumptions about ancient technology.”

In the ancient Sanskrit text known as the Mahabharata, Dwarka was a majestic kingdom built by the enigmatic figure Krishna. This kingdom was then devoured by the sea, after a brutal war said to have killed over 4 million soldiers in just two days. Multiple modern-day excavation missions have consistently unearthed artifacts from Dwarka’s sea bed, which appeared to corroborate these historical accounts, until all digs were halted in 2000.

A short trailer for the film, Dwarka: Atlantis of the East, can be found on YouTube, along with a link to sign up for the movie’s May 1st premiere: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pquok7SdrKU

The Ancient Explorers are a movement founded in 2013, with the purpose of exploring historical hotspots across the globe which may reveal untold secrets regarding the ancient origins of mankind. In just 6 months, their online community has grown to over 130,000 members worldwide.

The public is invited to the world premiere online screening of Dwarka: Atlantis of the East on May 1st, 2014. To tune in for free, RSVP now at http://AncientExplorers.com/screening/

Cure Type 2 Diabetes Website Launches to Help Type 2 Diabetes Patients

Leave a comment

It is estimated that 347 million people in the world have diabetes. However, a Bristol UK man, diagnosed as diabetic in 2001, now claims he is off all diabetes medications, and has launched a website to help others with Type 2 Diabetes.

Bristol, England, April 27, 2014 (Straight Line PR) — The World Health Organization estimates that 347 million people in the world have diabetes. Over time, diabetes can damage the heart, blood vessels, eyes, kidneys and nerves. Traditional medicine claims there is no cure. However, a Bristol England man who was diagnosed as a diabetic in 2001 now claims he is a “former diabetic” and has launched a website to help those with Type 2 Diabetes live healthier lifestyles.

It is estimated that DIABETES is written on the death certificate of more than 4 million people each year, as the primary cause of death. This fact is well known to Nazir Hussain, a Bristol UK resident whose life was turned upside down by his disease in 2001. “When I was diagnosed with type 2 Diabetes it felt like a death sentence,” said Hussain. “I pursued all of the traditional solutions as I studied the disease. Unfortunately, they made me worse. While it took me many years of studying and experimenting, as of 2012 I can claim that I am still a diabetic, but I am a diabetic who no longer required any medication, and I feel fantastic.”

Hussain has launched CureYourType2Diabetes.com ( http://www.CureYourType2Diabetes.com ), a membership website dedicated to sharing his experiences of living with the disease, including how he successfully managed to get off all of his medications and assisting those who are looking for answers.

He has created a short introductory video which can be found here: http://youtu.be/NjGxLgovlMU

The website is dedicated to helping Type 2 Diabetes patients. While Hussain is not a medical doctor, he has enlisted the expertise of Prof. Charles Clarke, a noted Diabetes specialist who will help to support members.

Hussain has created CureYourType2Diabetes.com ( http://www.CureYourType2Diabetes.com ) to help sufferers of Type 2 Diabetes to find ways to reduce their need for medication, lower their weight, and lower their risks of complications from Type 2 Diabetes.

The website is an invaluable resource for diabetics, enabling them to get information that will help them to address unanswered questions, and to discover tried and tested methods to lower medication requirements.

About CureYourType2Diabetes.com:
Since 2011, Nazir Hussain has been sharing his experience with other Type 2 diabetes sufferers. CureYourType2Diabetes.com is his newly-launched web site for people with Type 2 Diabetes. Members get access to over a hundred educational videos; 24 x 7 email support & expert advice from Nazir Hussain, Professor Charles Clarke, and their trained staff; regularly scheduled webinars; nutritional and exercise advice, and more.

Pain Management In-Office Procedures Decline with Reimbursement Rates

Leave a comment

The proper business management of an Pain Management Center will be the key to success going forward, according to industry professionals.

Dallas, Texas, April 26, 2014 – In an article published by The Ambulatory M&A Advisor, Dr. Rudi Gari of Texas Pain Relief Group weighs in on the matter, noting that physician-owners of Pain Management Centers need to keep the business side of their practice in mind, even if it doesn’t come second nature.

“Physicians are typically not the best business people,” Gari said. “You may be the best doctor the world has ever known, but if you don’t know how to manage your finances and manage your office, you’re not going to have an office to practice in.”

This emphasis on business is a result of declining reimbursement rates, according to Dr. Al Liceaga, Medical Director of Orangewood Surgical Center and Regional Pain Treatment Medical Center.

“ASCs reimbursement for procedures are often paid on only one CPT code and global fees now limit payment and reduce access to care by not allowing reimbursement for certain procedures within the global time period,” he said. “Reimbursement for hardware and implants has dramatically changed also. The majority of implants are now inclusive of the global fee.”

These changes in reimbursement rates had a noticeable impact on in-office procedures, with higher costs causing a reduction in such procedures.

Customers have been using Beauty by Earth’s Moroccan Argan Oil and are rave about its many uses and miraculous results they’ve been getting from the product. Here’s a little taste of what customers have been saying about using argan oil in their hair:

Benefits of Argan Oil as Hair Oil:

* Use argan oil as a hair oil for heat protection before styling hair

* Use argan oil as a hair oil for frizzy hair

* Use argan oil as shine serum

* Use argan oil as a deep conditioner for amazingly soft and manageable hair

* Use argan oil as a hair oil for curl definition

* Use argan oil as a hair protectant from the sun and pool

How to Use Argan Oil for Hair:
Leave-in Conditioner/After Washing – After the shower, while your hair is still wet, add a few drops of argan oil to your hair, ends and scalp to hydrate and moisturize. It’s especially nourishing if your hair is dry from daily use of a blow dryer, straight-iron or curling iron. Argan oil should be used each time your hair is washed and prior to being styled with a blow dryer, curling iron or flat iron to protect against heat damage.

Hair Styling/Shine – Use as a styling product by adding a few drops of argan oil to the palms of your hand. Rub your hands together and run the palms of your hand over your hair, paying special attention to frizzy sections and hair ends.

Curl Definition for Curly/Ethnic Hair – Apply a few drops of argan oil to hair using your palm starting with the tips and working up to the scalp. Place hair in a slightly damp towel and squeeze curls without rubbing hair together resulting in more defined curls.

Deep Conditioning – Massage a generous amount of argan oil into your hair and scalp 30-60 minutes before showing (it can also be left in overnight). Use a comb or brush to ensure oil is evenly distributed from roots to tip. To enhance the effect of your hair, wrap your hair in a hot or warm towel. Deep conditioning with argan oil can be done weekly or more often for those with dry hair or a dry/itchy scalp.

Hair Protectant from Sun and Pool – Apply several drops of argan oil to your hair before hitting the pool or beach. This will help prevent sun and chlorine damage as well as protect against the dryness of salt water.

“I’ve used a LOT of Moroccan Oil/Argan oil products. I have long, thick, color-treated hair that frizzes, and this miracle oil is the only thing I’ve ever found to tame it. They all work, some better than others.

“I was given the opportunity to try this oil. I was sure I’d like it. I’m surprised to LOVE it. It’s quite different from the others. The first thing I did when I opened the bottle was sniff. I was actually surprised to find no smell–whatsoever. Honestly, I’ve gotten used to the “pleasant fragrance” of Moroccan oils, but sometimes it’s a bit overpowering, especially when combined with other fragrances (shampoo, conditioner, etc). This is PURE oil, no additives, and has no scent. I love that. Second, as it’s JUST OIL (instead of oil mixed with a list of unpronounceable synthetics), I soon learned that I have to use LESS. I put a dime-sized dollop in the palm of my hand and worked it into half of my hair like usual. I should have used that dime-sized dollop for my entire head of hair (did I mention my hair is THICK AND LONG). I was quite surprised by this. This bottle will really last.

“Finally, I did the usually styling after using the oil–blow dryer and curling iron. My curls look better–healthier, and they’re staying put even without hairspray.

“I’m so pleased with this product. I’ll definitely be back, and plan to make it part of my routine.” M.B.

Ecotech Institute’s Free Online Course, “Introduction to Sustainability”, Changes the Way Students Approach Sustainability

Leave a comment

Student Feedback Demonstrates Appreciation and Value for the Course

Denver, Colorado, April 23, 2014 – Student feedback from Ecotech Institute’s free online “Introduction to Sustainability” course proved the opportunity was valued by students across the globe and changed the way they approached sustainability initiatives.

Kyle Crider, Ecotech Institute’s Program Chair and Manager of Environmental Operations, led the free online course for a second time earlier this year. There was a diverse mix of students, both men and women from all educational backgrounds and walks of life. Many students applied what they learned in the course to their communities and have said they’ll continue to expand on their education now that the course is complete. The course material applies to general green energy jobs, including solar jobs, wind turbine jobs, and overall careers in renewable energy.

“The first Intro to Sustainability course last year was such a wild success, we felt like we had no choice but to bring it back,” Crider said. “I’m so happy that we did. The feedback we received proves that the course truly changes students’ lives. By allowing people to learn free of charge, we can help more people learn what sustainable living is all about.”

The Introduction to Sustainability course is a “massive online open course” (MOOC), offered through the Canvas Network. MOOCs are a popular way for educational institutions to offer free courses to the public. Based in Aurora, Colorado, Ecotech Institute is the only college entirely focused on sustainability-related job training.

The MOOC course explores various definitions of sustainability used by governments, businesses, and individuals to address environmental, societal, and economic problems around the world. In addition, students learn ways to apply sustainable concepts to their own lives. As part of the course, students have to complete a capstone project that involves writing their own sustainability-focused mission statement, vision, and goals.

Some of the feedback includes:

“Thank you, Kyle! It’s been a rewarding experience. So much so that I decided to apply for a formal course of study, MSc in Environmental Tech. I have an interview with the school in a couple of weeks!”

“Thank you for such a wonderful class. By allowing people to learn free of charge, you have taught so many more. Just finding out about the Aral Sea in the first lesson has been the buzz of my village for weeks. Just thank you for implanting this knowledge. I so appreciate it.”

“I wasn’t aware of how far solar energy has come. I’ve been a fan of it but didn’t realize the cost had dropped so much that it was actually viable.”

“I never thought that one day I would be doing a course with people from different continents and countries. Technology really improved our standard of living, so there is no need to go overseas to study when you can study at home.”

Due to the overwhelming positive feedback, Ecotech Institute plans to offer future MOOC courses. The school will provide updates on future courses through its Facebook page, which users can “like” to access at https://www.facebook.com/EcotechInstitute. For more information on Ecotech Institute visit www.ecotechinstitute.com.

“World’s Smallest all-in-one phone charger”

Leave a comment

Uiee launches new portable charger for smart phones and mobile devices. A backup charger and wall charger combined, taking the title of “world’s smallest”.

Dublin, Ireland, April 22, 2014 – The need for charging phones and other devices has become somewhat of a necessity nowadays with smartphones that have larger, more powerful screens and faster speeds using up more and more power.

There have been many new products that are aimed at allowing people to charge their phones on the go and these products are becoming smaller and smaller, to the extent where some have even become pocket sized.

The most recent entry into the market is a portable charger, called Uiee. It’s both a portable battery and wall charger allowing people to charge on-the-go and also at home.

It features a retractable cable (available for micro-usb or apple’s lightning connector). There are also fold-out prongs for plugging it into a wall socket and a clip at the back for clipping it to belt’s, pockets, or bag straps. It’s one of the first all-in-one charger’s to become wearable.

It has joined the growing group of pocket sized chargers and has aimed to take this trend one step further by losing the need for carrying a separate cable, its reason for introducing a built-in cable. The product features a round curvy design, as opposed to the traditional block shaped one. The built-in battery is expected to give the average phone around three hours of extra power.

It’s available in three different styles; Persian blue, Crimson red and Forest green. It comes in a U.S. version and an E.U. version.

It’s being prepared for pre-order at a special price of $40 for early customers with the standard price at $50. You can get emailed when it’s available by leaving your email at uieepower.com.

AuraPortal BPM Signs Agreement with University of Finance and Banking (UFB) Bucharest

Leave a comment

The alliance between the two entities includes the incorporation of AuraPortal BPM technology in the university, its educational use by teachers and innovation and training, oriented towards disseminating Business Process Management in banking.

Woburn, MA, April 20, 2014 – AURA (www.auraportal.com), a global provider of AuraPortal. Business Process Management (BPM) software, has announced the signing of a collaboration agreement with the University of Finance and Banking (UFB), one of the most prestigious universities in Eastern Europe.

AuraPortal has been distinguished with great advantage over its competitors by Ovum in its Decision Matrix report and by other renowned analyst firms.

“Within the framework of the agreement signed between the two entities, two important points to mention are the incorporation of AuraPortal BPM technology and its educational use by teachers and students in each of the specialties offered at the Faculty of Banking Management; and the bilateral commitment to create a space dedicated to investigation and innovation, specialized training of the highest standard and the dissemination and sharing of BPM best practices in banking and insurance industries.” says Cristobal Toro, Executive Manager of AuraPortal Eastern Europe.

This agreement allows students undertaking degrees or specialties related to the management of financial institutions, financial systems, Risk Management, economic engineering, regulations and other disciplines offered by the UFB, to learn about the types of management tools, such as BPM, used in real business environments.

The emergence of BPM systems has revealed a new way to manage the compliance of mandatory standards and the adoption of regulations such as Basel II/III, Credit Risk, Operational Risk and Market Risk, using any of the possible methods (Standard, Basic or Advanced IRN, Basic Indicator, VaR, etc.), as well as Slovency II in the case of insurance companies. This adoption and the changes in regulations are made easy as they are perfectly integrated in the business processes of the organization thanks to the BPM tool.

It is proven that working with BPM technology in the financial sector allows the optimization of resources, the standardization of procedures, increased customer satisfaction and great agility and responsiveness to changes in the financial market, especially under the current economical situation.
