Newark, DE (PRBuzz.com) August 9, 2013 -- Have you ever had a diabetic condition? I am sure you wouldn't want to imagine suffering from this condition. I guess this is because Diabetes is one of the most feared and serious health problems that one wouldn't desire to have. It is always as a result of excess glucose in the blood stream, a condition that comes about when the body cannot take glucose from the blood stream making glucose to accumulate to higher levels. The hormone that helps facilitate this process is known as insulin; when insulin fails to help the body absorb glucose from the bloodstream, a condition known as hyperglycemia results.

Fortunately, medical practitioners have reportedly been working day in, day out on ways of reducing this condition and even helping one detect the level of sugar in his/her body. As a result, a device known as DARIO APP has been set up to help monitor the level of glucose. This, in simple terms, is a mobile application device for the iOS and Android powered smartphones. The device was designed for people leading a modern lifestyle and is geared towards helping them manage diabetes.

How Dario Works

Learning how Dario works is adventurous and is one thing one would admire. This is especially in the rate at which it produces quick results through its applications. It has simple features yet takes one through a very vigorous and thorough process of knowing one's glucose level. The outright features of that one first needs to beware of are an insulin calculator, nutrition data, case history, journal and a monitoring system.

Meter

Dario device contains a meter that can easily fit into the headphone socket of any smart phone, an example being the iPhone. Once you pluck it from the Dario device, you immediately connect it to the phone through the headphone socket. The phone in sensing it will load down the Dario applications.



Test Strips Cartridge

Secondly, the Dario device has test strips cartridge each containing 21 test strips which once plucked out can be inserted on the meter device in the phone. Therefore, pluck out one test strip and insert it on the meter that is on your phone.

Lancing device

The next step is the use of the lancing device (an ultra-thin lancet for comfortable blood sampling) to sample blood. It helps in pricking your finger to produce blood sample. Once you have done so, place your bleeding finger on the strip for your blood to flow on it and get sensed by the meter.

As stated earlier, the process of getting results may not take long especially with such features like the insulin calculator. All the results are normally displayed on the screen of the phone and one will be able to read through the data entry and successfully see the blood sugar level. One can therefore choose to rush to his/her doctor or even seek necessary medication.

Arecont Vision Ships Industry's First 40-Megapixel 180° Day/Night Panoramic Camera

All-in-One SurroundVideo(r) Camera Replaces Many Conventional Cameras

Los Angeles, CA (PRBuzz.com) August 9, 2013 --  Arecont Vision, the industry leader in IP megapixel camera technology, announces the availability of the world's first 40-megapixel day/night panoramic camera providing a 180° field of view. The new all-in-one AV40185DN SurroundVideo(r) camera is a cost-effective solution for applications where mechanical pan-tilt-zoom (PTZ) devices might otherwise have to be used or where multiple cameras would be needed to view expansive coverage areas. The higher-resolution panoramic view camera can be used to replace many conventional cameras.

The newest SurroundVideo(r) camera represents Arecont Vision's fourth generation of panoramic megapixel cameras. Arecont Vision first introduced multi-sensor SurroundVideo(r) panoramic megapixel cameras in 2006, and continues to lead the industry in megapixel solutions including multi-sensor panoramic cameras. The SurroundVideo(r) 12-Megapixel WDR 180° Panoramic Camera began shipping earlier this year. A new 360° 40-megapixel camera will be available before the end of the year.

"Arecont Vision is without peer in multi-sensor, multi-megapixel technology and the 40-megapixel SurroundVideo(r) sets yet another benchmark for the industry," said Raul Calderon, Senior Vice President, Arecont Vision. "Arecont Vision panoramic cameras enable users to view and record extremely wide fields of view while simultaneously digitally zooming in to multiple regions of interest, something a PTZ cannot do. At 40-megapixels of resolution, our value proposition of seeing more with fewer cameras further revolutionizes the return on investment of a video surveillance system."

The market's first 40-megapixel panoramic camera provides a 180-degree panoramic view using four high-sensitivity 10-megapixel sensors, each offering a 3,648 x 2,752 pixel view at 7fps, for a total image area of 14,592 x 2,752 pixels at 1.5fps. The AV40185DN camera uses dual H.264 and MJPEG encoders for great flexibility depending on compression preferences. The panoramic camera also can be binned to 2.5-megapixels per sensor, increasing light sensitivity and frame rate.

Both the 180-degree and 360-degree SurroundVideo(r) 40-megapixel cameras offer standard hard in-ceiling mount or surface-mount configurations out of the box, plus wall and pendant mount using optional accessories. The units are available with an optional integrated heater and blower. The IP66-rated environmental chassis and polycarbonate dome are vandal-resistant and eliminate the need for external housing. An easily adjustable 2-axis gimbal provides 360-degree pan and 90-degree tilt adjustment.

On-camera privacy mask enables video to be blocked in multiple regions in any desired shape. Extended motion detection provides a higher-granularity grid of 1,024 distinct motion detection zones per channel.

Prostate Cancer Pony Express Arrives in Harrisonburg, Virginia, En Route to Washington, DC

Harrisonburg, Virginia (PRBuzz.com) August 9, 2013 -- The Prostate Cancer Awareness Project, a Manhattan Beach, California non-profit with offices in Manhattan Beach, California, Staunton and Mt. Sidney, Virginia, is excited to announce the 2013 Prostate Cancer Pony Express arrived in Harrisonburg on August 8, and will spend two days in the area on the way to their annual ride to the Capitol in Washington, DC.

Prostate cancer is the second most common cancer among men in the United States, and almost 30,000 men die each year from the disease. Early detection is the single most important determinant of survival. If the cancer is found early and has not yet spread, the five-year survival rate is nearly 100%. To promote the importance of timely detection, PCAP has developed the Prostate Tracker early detection tool. PCAP's founder and CEO, Robert Hess, is himself a survivor of prostate cancer.

"There is a huge community of motorcycle riders and the annual the annual Prostate Cancer Pony Express gives these men an opportunity to highlight the importance of early detection of prostate cancer and urge the Congress to allocate additional funding for research research," said Hess.

This is the 4th year of the Prostate Cancer Pony Express and beginning this year the riders will assemble each August in the Shenandoah Valley and then ride to Washington, DC.

"We choose the Shenandoah Valley for our assembly point because of the beautiful scenery, the great motorcycling roads, and the friendliness of the people, said Hess." According to Hess, "We're helping the Bishop Family Foundation make Harrisonburg the "Bicycling Capital of Virginia" through our sponsorship of the Alpine Loop Grand Fondo, and we'd like to make Harrisonburg the Motorcycle Touring Capital of Virginia."

CP & Associates overcomes cultural differences to construct Minamoto Kitchoan's exquisite Madison Avenue boutique

Tuesday, August 6, 2013 -- New York, NY -- Manhattan based construction services firm CP & Associates bridges cultural differences to complete Minamoto Kitchoan's exquisite East Coast flagship boutique on Madison Avenue.

When Minamoto Kitchoan, a purveyor of Japanese sweets known as Wagashi made the decision to move its Fifth Avenue boutique, they did so knowing they had assembled an international team dedicated to creating a collaborative work environment.  The new location at 509 Madison Avenue presented the Wagashi purveyor with a unique opportunity to situate itself in an area that has become one of Manhattan's sweetest retail corridors; Minamoto counts European chocolatiers Leonidas, Neuhaus, and Neuchatel as its neighbors.

The project team consisted of the Minamoto's representative Kajima Building & Design Group, Inc., Kaneko Architects, P.C. and the construction firm of CP & Associates.  Although the bi-level flagship, which features a walk-in freezer, a product preparation area and an executive office totals just over 2,000 sf, the project presented numerous challenges that had to be overcome.  Collectively the trio immediately established an approach that would enable them to plan for and manage issues before they would affect the project's expedited timeline.

Minamoto tasked the team with completing their flagship in 10-weeks; delays were out of the question.  In conjunction with Kajima and Kaneko, CP devised a trade schedule that dovetailed with Kajima's master project schedule, enabling the construction firm to maximize trade performance.  On any given day, five to eight subcontractors worked simultaneously within the confines of the new boutique.

To ensure that the teams remained on the same page and were working with the latest directives communicated from Japan, a fluid model of communication was established.  Daily site meetings and numerous calls were conducted between team members to make certain that Minamoto's expectations were crystal clear to all parties.  "On such a high-end project, there is no such thing as over communicating," said Phillip Pignatelli, principal at CP & Associates. "We had to check and re-check every project detail to ensure nothing would be lost in translation."

To say CP & Associates took extra special care when installing finishes would be an understatement.  The majority of finishes were one-of-kind works, hand crafted by Japanese artisans.  Minamoto's flagship features light-boxes faced with Washi paper, Juraku wall coverings and light coves faced with Shikkui, a lime plaster that actively improves indoor airquality.  Meticulous attention was paid to their handling and installation.  For each, after the manufacturer's instructions were translated from Minamoto's native Japanese, a CP principal remained onsite during the installation process to ensure that the intended design aesthetic was achieved. In addition, the flagship also boasts locally sourced finishes such as a Stone Source porcelain tile floor, Luminii LED lighting and handcrafted white oak retail showcases.

The final product, a luxuriously crafted boutique that echoes Minamoto's brand DNA, elevates and showcases the Wagashi purveyor among its neighboring European Chocolatiers.  The project also serves as an example of how companies from opposite sides of the world are capable of creating a successful work environment.

"When dealing with non-US clients, you must be committed to understanding and respecting the cultural differences that exist between the project teams," said Pat Acocella, founder of CP & Associates. "You have to develop a model of project management that overcomes those differences. We did that."

NASHVILLE, (PRBuzz.com) August 9, 2013 -- Set to release in November, 2013, the young adult fantasy novel „Haven of Dante: The Staff of Moshe‟ will set the stage for a modern day battle between the nine circles of hell and the one who would stand against their evil plans. The book will be made available for purchase on Amazon.

For centuries members of the nine circles of hell have infiltrated our society at every level. Calling themselves the Aristocracy, they have sought to replace humanity on the surface. The only ones who have stood in their way are members of the Dante family line. This time, it‟s Haven‟s turn.

The author states, "My heart and motive have always been for people who are hurting. These can be kids who have had to suffer through child abuse or neglect or an absent parent which can be equally torturous as was the case in „The Jupiter Chronicles‟. It can also be young girls who have suffered an assault like Haven did in „Haven of Dante‟. Those are the kids and adults I want to write for because I‟ve been there."

Minneapolis, MN (PRBuzz.com) Aug 9, 2013 -- Online IT Class, a new resource for information technology and computer science education and career training, is now available on the web.

The OnlineITClass.com site primarily helps visitors locate universities and other schools that offer degree programs in information technology, information management or computer science.

"Our site is really dedicated primarily to information technology programs," said the website's manager Victoria Burns. "The field of IT, information management and computer science are closely related, so we do offer details about those types of programs as well."

The OnlineITClass.com website looks at the options open to students who want to earn a diploma either through a classic campus university or through Web-based training programs.

Burns suggested that students first try to determine what field they want to get into, and that will determine how much formal training they will actually need. "Many IT jobs require a bachelor's degree," she said, "But there are quite a few positions that only require an associate's degree."

Burns went on to say that some degree programs, such as computer science, can be academically challenging. "A computer science degree program at a top university is going to be difficult for most students," Burns continued, "Students need to realize that their math skills need to be pretty good and that they will be working hard all four years."

"The IT field is continuing to grow," Burns concluded, "So it is still a great career field to get into."

(PRBuzz.com) August 13, 2013 --
Novi, MI --Mike Deluca, CEO of Golden Touch Painting & Drywall recently addressed a group of real estate experts regarding residential painting. He stated: "Most experts agree that a professional, experienced house painter can do the best job for a homeowner. Some individuals however would prefer to tackle the job themselves, and I am happy to offer some tips." For advice on hiring a commercial painter visit: https://www.emailwire.com/clients/newsRoom.php?prID=131165
First, a homeowner needs to carefully plan the project. He needs to determine which rooms he wants to paint. Next, he has to calculate the number of gallons of paint he is going to buy. If he will use a large amount of one color, he should purchase the larger containers of paint. Each manufacturer offers the coverage rate on their products and he can use that as a guide," he stated
"The most important part of the paint job is preparing the surface. Any rough edges or bumps should be gently removed with a scraper or sandpaper. Cracks and holes should be filled with a putty of the homeowner's choice.. Nails that stick out need to be repaired as they will ruin the appearance of a wall no matter how good the paint job is," he emphasized.
"Next, the homeowner should purchase all the proper equipment. A wide variety of high quality brushes and rollers is an absolute necessity. He should also make certain he has dropcloths and ladders".
"Edge the ceiling with a brush and then apply the roller. After the ceiling is completed, edge the walls and then apply the paint with a roller. The final step is completing the trim. A high quality tape should be used between the trim and the walls and ceiling in order to create straight lines. If a homeowner puts in the effort, the final result will be amazing," he concluded. For greater specificity regarding this subject visit: http://novimipainters.blogspot.com/

(PRBuzz.com) August 13, 2013 -- Marquette, MI --Hansons Marquette siding, a prominent provider of siding for local customers, has reports: It is important to work from the bottom up in a home improvement project. This is the exact opposite approach than you would take for many other projects, but there is a lot more mess involved in home improvement. Make sure to consider the order in which you want your projects completed.

If you are planning a do-it-yourself renovation project, make sure to familiarize yourself with the safety precautions of the materials and tools you will be using. Power tools, paint and other finishing products, and even hand tools all carry with them significant dangers. If you're using a piece of equipment that's new to you, don't be afraid to ask for help from a friend or hardware store associate.

If you are doing work near a kitchen, fireplace, or gas appliance, make sure you know where the gas shutoff for your home is located. If there were to be an accident, and gas started leaking into your home, the smallest spark could set it off. If you know in advance where the shutoff is, you can respond faster to the issue before it becomes an emergency.

(PRBuzz.com) August 13, 2013 -- Massillon, OH --Hansons Massillon vinyl siding, a prominent provider of siding for local customers, has reports: Talking to a friend who is a contractor or does other work related to construction can often provide some helpful insights. They will have a good idea of what needs to be done for a certain project. They may even be willing to lend a hand for a difficult or tricky home improvement task.

Choose wallpaper patterns carefully. Avoid using overpowering patterns in small spaces; conversely, using a bold design in a very large room will make it appear cozier. Never use a patterned wallpaper if you have patterned carpet or window coverings. For a room full of awkward corners and recesses, pick a wallpaper with a random design that the eye doesn't tend to follow. This will help to disguise any imperfections in the walls.

If your home lacks windows and natural lighting, consider replacing one of your solid exterior doors with a French door. A French door combines solid wood craftsmanship with a broad expanse of plate glass, to let in a great deal of natural sunlight. This will instantly brighten the look and feel of any room, making it seem airier and more spacious.

(PRBuzz.com) August 13, 2013 -- Kent, OH -- Hansons Kent Windows, a business leader within the windows market - supplying the greatest quality alternative windows, reports: Replacing or adding weather stripping is one of the easiest and most affordable ways of creating an energy efficient home. This is an inexpensive material purchased at the home improvement store, and seals out exterior cold and hot air to stabilize inner temperatures so that your heater and cooling systems do not need to work as hard. This may also help to eliminate feelings of draftiness around your doors and windows.

Stay true to the property and the neighborhood when you take on major renovations. If you live on a street or suburb with ranch style homes, then putting in a colonial mansion is not going to get you the desired result you're after. It will be out of place and not something anyone else will be willing to pay for later.

To save on your electric bill, try switching from regular light switches to dimmer switches. Dimmer switches allow you to select how much light you want to use in a particular room. By doing so, you can use less electricity to light a whole room, and add a sense of mood as well.
