Nikon Announces New Innovative CoolPix Digital Cameras

Nikon P510 Digital Camera

NYC, NY (PRWEB) February 01, 2012

B&H Photo will be one of the first retailers to stock the new Nikon CoolPix digital cameras. This marquee camera is both extremely functional, as well as aesthetically pleasing and features many of the bells and whistles found in the more expensive cameras by Nikon.

The Nikon Coolpix P510 Digital Camera offers a massive telephoto zoom range, starting quite wide at 24mm and telescoping 42x to 1000mm (35mm equivalent focal lengths). This range will enable one to shoot comfortably in tight indoor spaces and capture wide landscapes, while giving you the long reach to capture wildlife, sporting events, and much more. Throw in its special Smart Portrait mode and Easy Panorama (360° & 180°) modes, and the P510 makes a breeze of pretty much every type of shooting.

That powerful Nikkor lens is backed by a 16.1 Mp sensor that will capture all the detail that the glass can collect. Its undeniable versatility makes the P510 a bridge between standard point-and-shoot models and higher-end interchangeable-lens models. With its comfortable side grip and tilting 3″ LCD monitor, the camera allows you to operate confidently and comfortably handheld and at low and high angles.

With its massive telephoto reach, one will be well-served capturing aerial and terrestrial beasts from afar – and with the P510′s integrated GPS one will be able to record a shooting location; the camera’s geo-tagging function serves as something of an automated travelogue. If still photography’s not enough for expedition, the camera captures Full HD 1920 x 1080p video with stereo audio.

Back-Illuminated CMOS Image Sensor Helps Realize High Image Quality

With 16.1 effective megapixels of pure imaging power, the camera captures the high-resolution images one desires. Continuous shooting and compositing capabilities of the backside-illumination CMOS image sensor optimize performance when shooting at night or in dark indoor environments, delivering beautiful results and reproducing the finest details.

42x Optical Zoom & Highly Advanced VR Image Stabilization

The 42x zoom Nikkor ED glass lens for the Coolpix P510 features phenomenal focal range coverage of 24mm wide-angle to 1000mm super-telephoto (35mm format equivalent). At that focal length, Vibration Reduction (VR) image-stabilization technology certainly comes in handy, minimizing the blur caused by camera shake and delivering sharp images. Advanced VR iscritical to aid in achieving consistently sharp results, particularly when taking advantageof the super-zoom or for macro photography

GPS Geo-Tagging & Logging Function

A high-performance GPS system records longitude & latitude location data for each shot, and you can also log your movement even when you’re not taking pictures. Add a new dimension to photographic fun with geo-tagging! Track your progress as you explore, and record the location of that great image. There’s also an electronic compass to record the camera’s orientation, so you can later view the direction (along with location data) for each shot

High-Speed Continuous Shooting Helps Capture All the Action

The Coolpix P510 keeps you ahead of the action with high-speed shooting options. High-speed continuous shooting enables rapid capturing at 7 fps (approx.) for full-resolution (4608 x 3456) images (up to five continuous shots). Other high-speed modes include Sports continuous mode (approx. 60 fps / 120 fps) and the Pre-shooting cache

High Sensitivity

High ISO capability helps capture subjects beautifully in low light, without compromising natural light or requiring long exposure time. By enabling the selection of faster shutter speeds, it also makes it easier to capture fast-moving subjects with greater clarity

Optimized Controls & Designed for Efficient Handling

Adding to the flexibility of the vari-angle screen, the camera’s handgrip is designed to help minimize camera shake. A side zoom control stabilizes handling

3D Photography

The 3D imaging capability makes it easy to create composite images that achieve realistic playback on 3D-capable TVs and computers

20 Scene Modes

20 easy-to-use Scene modes, including Scene Auto Selector, which automatically optimizes camera setting for best results

Motion Detection

Motion detection automatically selects a faster shutter speed and higher ISO (light sensitivity) setting to compensate for subject movement or camera shake

NIKKOR lenses have long met the exacting standards of top professional photographers. And they continue to demonstrate Nikon’s total commitment to craftsmanship and reliability in today’s world of digital photography.

EXPEED C2 continues to expand the possibilities of photography with improved levels of high image quality, fine detail and processing speed. Engineered to deliver optimal performance on each COOLPIX model, the latest evolution of Nikon’s renowned digital image processing engine helps ensure beautiful photographs of every scene you shoot.

All Hands Fire Equipment Announces Super Bowl Party Safety Tips

Neptune, NJ (PRWEB) February 01, 2012

Super Bowl 46, a rematch between the New York Giants and the New England Patriots is scheduled for February 5, 2012. The Super Bowl is among the most watched television events worldwide. Family and friends gather in what could arguable be described as a hybrid holiday-like / party-like atmosphere.

During national-events that create an impact the magnitude of the Super Bowl, it is more important than ever to be “safety conscious”.

“The Super Bowl is an exciting and fun event, however, people should maintain a level of situational awareness, especially when out among large crowds or when cooking and frying up hors d’oeuvres”, said Donald Colarusso, President of All Hands Fire Equipment, supplier of firefighter boots and a veteran firefighter of 24 years.

To experience a fun and safe Super Bowl experience there are a few key safety tips that should be observed and followed:

When attending parties, in homes, sports bars or other locations including the actual venue it is always advisable to have a designated driver or plan on taking a taxi home.

At large gatherings, awareness of exits and egress can save lives. There are hidden dangers at parties and large events during Super Bowl weekend. these dangers include carelessness with cigarettes, under attended barbeques and even fireworks.

When cooking, frying or barbequing, care should be taken around open flame and when using grease, oil and related cooking products. Wearing an apron or tucking in that NFL jersey is suggested. Fire Extinguishers should definitely be on hand.

Smoke detectors in homes should always be in working order. If chicken wings or hotdogs are burning and smoke detectors sound, batteries should not be removed. The correct procedure is to clear the smoke and get that smoke detector back in service immediately.

Super Bowl 46 should be a spectacular event. Two rival teams with a memorable journey meeting in an epic game – it is likely to be the most watch sports game in years. “Be sure to not only have fun but stay aware and be safe this weekend”, suggests Colarusso, expert supplier of firefighter gear, ESS goggles, and public safety equipment throughout North America and abroad.

Avadyne Health and Benchmark Revenue Management Announce Merger

Moline, IL (PRWEB) February 09, 2012

Avadyne Health, a leading provider of patient-centric outsourced revenue cycle management services and Benchmark Revenue Management, the nation’s premier revenue cycle workflow provider for hospitals, announced recently they have merged. The new firm’s combined solutions, which presently serve nearly 200 hospitals across the U.S., will set a new standard for technology-enabled services in the revenue cycle space. The merged company will be providing new and uniquely valuable technology enabled services as well as continuing to offer the solutions for which each company has become known. The new company will continue to the use the Avadyne Health name.

“We couldn’t be more excited about merging with Benchmark,” said Moises Eilemberg, CEO of Avadyne. “We have been working together and have been an investor in the company for some time. Our focus at Avadyne has been the extension of a world-class patient experience beyond the clinical encounter and into the revenue cycle. In fact, our executives speak all over the country about the Total Patient Experience. And while our customers love the way we assist their patients, we were actively searching for ways to work more seamlessly with our hospitals. With Benchmark on board, we are able to offer our customers the same technology that we use ourselves, so the flow of work and the transparency to the results we deliver is unparalleled in the industry. We’re setting a new standard,” Eilemberg added.

“Since our team gets so deeply involved with our customers, we find it very distressing to see our clients battle with continuous cost pressures and understaffing; their options for partnering with a specialized service provider are limited by scarce internal IT resources, rigid contracts, and low visibility to the work being done for them,” explained Tyson McDowell, CEO of Benchmark. “Merging with Avadyne creates enormous flexibility for our current and future customers. Whether their needs include internal revenue cycle technology, outsourcing, or both, our combined capabilities mean that we can provide a revenue ‘safety net’ for everything they do. Our staff can work seamlessly with their staff members so the collective team is always ‘right-sized.’ That offers true optimization that no one else can provide. We have an enormous opportunity to increase transparency and efficiency, reduce costs and change the face of revenue cycle,” McDowell continued.

Investment Bank Nexus Health Capital advised Avadyne and Benchmark on the merger. Damon Morey, LLP served as legal counsel to Avadyne and Gunderson Dettmer Stough Villeneuve Franklin & Hachigian, LLP handled legal matters for Benchmark.

Diabetes is One of the Fastest Deadly Growing Diseases around the World

GlucoNature-Great Natural Diabetic Product

USA – China (PRWEB) February 06, 2012

A revolutionary natural supplement for diabetes was just released after years of research by HESHOUTANG TCM HEALTHCARE on the bases of traditional Chinese medicine brings new and real hope for diabetes.

Recently released research suggests that GlucoNature has the potential to alleviate and cure diabetes.

The herbal components in GlucoNature, according to the experts, may be the key in helping to increase substantially blood microcirculation in the body’s extremities. And by increasing microcirculation with this naturally based formula, many complications associated with poor circulation in Diabetics could be reduced. The active herbal antioxidant effect in GlucoNature can also assist those people with evidence of complications associated with Diabetes and Cardiovascular Diseases.

Heshoutang TCM Health Care manufactures of Gluconature in a press conference in their China offices in Qingdao said, “we’re proud to produce all herbs near Mount Tai.” Mount Tai is known for its purity of air and lush soils that produce the finest herbs.

Dr Wang, CEO of Heshoutang told everyone, “This is not something new. We did not invent the wheel, and this method has been used successfully in TCM in China for thousands of years!”

Dr Wang believes that the treatment in today’s clinical application by prescribing the same medicine for the only purpose of reducing blood sugar but ignoring the age, gender, etiology and symptoms among patients is wrong, and it will cause the disease to seem like its being treated, but some potential illness comes later, then people becomes weaker and finally an organ might fail. Only by paying attention to the difference of the patient’s age, gender, and etiology can an expert diagnose and treat people based on an overall analysis of the illness and the patient’s condition ( BianZhengShiZhi ), provide different formulas for different patients, provide different formulas at a different time, eliminate the source of disease, develop physical fitness, restore functions of viscera, and then finally treat diabetes.

Heshountang TCM Heath Care has created a warehouse facility in the USA to help Americans to get GlucoNature and other products faster and at a more affordable cost.

HESHOUTANG HEALTH CARE OFFERS

1. The TCM Hospital Online where customers/patients can submit their detailed diseases’ condition, and receive diagnosis results and complete treatment plan. On this website, patients could find the best TCM doctors online.

Website: http://www.tcmtreat.com

2. The TCM Community for customers offers a place to submit their questions during the treatments; our assistants will give patients a timely reply.

Karma: How To View It, Use It, and Lose It (Millenial Mind Publishing), by Karen Reed Hadalski, is Released on February 2, 2012

Virginia Beach, VA (PRWEB) February 04, 2012

Karma: How To View It, Use It, and Lose It inspires readers to understand their life circumstances through the prism of being “at cause” and responsible for their lives. It details a method for discovering what lessons, attitudes, and skills need to be addressed in order to make spiritual progress and resolve karmic debts.

What others are already saying:

“There is no greater gift to all beings, both now and in the future, than actively helping those in need. If reading this book makes anyone a kinder person in this life, karma or no, it has done a great service.”

——-Ingrid E. Newkirk, President and Co-Founder of P.E.T.A.

“Ignorance is the refusal to accept facts. Those who refuse to accept the overwhelming evidence of reincarnation, as noted in the works of the researchers referenced in this book, are doomed to make the same mistakes over and over, life after life…”

——-C. Norman Shealy, M.D., Ph.D. Eminent physician, author, and founder of the American Holistic Medical Association

“…Karma is a subject so vast that it presents questions to each of us that will have to be addressed individually. The only way to truly learn anything is to discover the truth for ourselves. But, I assure you: Armed with the insights, information, and thought-provoking points of view packed into this book, the battle is half won.”

——-Lawrence Steinhart, Author: Edgar Cayce’s Story of Beauty Through Health and The Crucial Questions.

“…This world needs more souls who passionately and persistently search for truth and beauty, like Ms. Hadalski…”

——-Len Lear, Editor, The Chestnut Hill Local, Philadelphia, Pa.

“(Hadalski) persuasively insists that we are all connected, not only human-to-human, but also human-to-animal and human-to-environment. Readers will find a need and desire to create balance in their lives; they will understand that their actions affect not only the life they now live, but also those they will come to live. With this common purpose and understanding, singular actions of the individual take on greater meaning and lead to the betterment of all.”

——-Cindy Thibault, Owner and Editor, Pet Tails Magazine

“Spooky?” NO! Interesting? YES, but you need to have and keep an open mind. This book is an eye-opener–a road map to take you to the next level of awareness…. We enjoyed the easy read and would recommend this book to our readers. On a scale of 1 to 10, this is a 10!”

Aurora Hospice has Earned the Joint Commission Gold Seal of Approval Aurora Hospice Successfully Demonstrates Compliance

Aurora Hospice has Earned the Joint Commission Gold Seal of Approval
Aurora Hospice Successfully Demonstrates Compliance

Houston, TX (PRWEB) February 03, 2012

The surveyor from the Joint Commission arrived at the office of Aurora Hospice on Wednesday, December 13, 2011 and continued her audit through Friday, December 15, 2011. On Wednesday, January 17, 2012 the Joint Commission awarded their Gold Seal of Approval to Aurora Hospice for successfully demonstrating compliance with national standards for health care quality and safety.

“In becoming accredited, Aurora Hospice was evaluated against a set of national standards by a Joint Commission surveyor experienced in the delivery of home care services,” said Tangie Malone, Director of Operations. “Achieving accreditation demonstrates Aurora Hospice’s commitment to provide high quality and safe care to our patients.”

Founded in 1951, The Joint Commission (formerly the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations) is the nation’s oldest and largest standards-setting and accrediting body in health care and considered the world leader in evaluating quality and safety of care delivered in all types of healthcare settings. Operated as an independent, not-for-profit organization, The Joint Commission accredits more than 19,000 health care organizations and programs in the United States. TJC standards are developed with input from doctors, nurses, medical directors, providers, subject matter experts, consumers, government agencies and employers.

Tangie Malone states, “Hospitals in Houston are accredited through the Joint Commission. Whereas many hospice agencies in the Houston Area gain their accreditation through Community Health Accreditation Program (CHAP), we wanted to be measured against the same exacting standards the hospitals are. By being recognized with the Gold Seal, physicians, patients and families can be secure in their confidence of the services Aurora Hospice provides.”

Agency Director Shenice Ferguson said Joint Commission accreditation shows that “we make a significant investment in quality on a day-to-day basis from the top down. We seek accreditation for our organization because we want to the best and we view obtaining Joint Commission accreditation as another step toward excellence.”

On the Rise: Aerial-Lift Truck Manufacturing in the US Industry Market Research Report Now Available from IBISWorld

IBISWorld Market Research

Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) February 02, 2012

The Aerial-Lift Truck Manufacturing industry is heavily dependent on the health of the US construction sector. Unfortunately for the industry, the steep decline in construction activity since the housing market collapse and subsequent recession in the late 2000s severely cut demand for aerial lifts. Specifically, the industry depends on demand from utilities and infrastructure construction since lifts are used heavily in the maintenance of utilities and telecommunication lines, trimming of trees and a range of infrastructure projects. “Despite recessionary federal stimulus measures, funds failed to support sufficient demand to raise the industry out of its slump,” says IBISWorld industry analyst Brian Bueno. In 2009, industry revenue declined about 37.0%. And despite a 34.4% rebound in 2010, sales revenue remained below prerecession highs.

The difficulties of recent years reinforced a long history of decline in the number of industry firms. In 2000, more than 50 companies manufactured aerial-lift trucks in the United States. But, according to Bueno, that number has declined consistently since and recorded a steep fall between 2007 and 2009, when about 14 firms exited the industry. Negative demand conditions forced firms into bankruptcy and eventually industry exit, while larger companies like major player Terex Corporation were capable of withstanding the downturn and sought to acquire others. Over the five years to 2012, the total number of firms in the Aerial-Lift Truck Manufacturing industry has declined at an average annual rate of 4.8%.

Although economic conditions improved over 2011, revenue recorded a minimal increase due to local and state cuts in maintenance and infrastructure projects. Stronger growth in the US economy, increased fixed investment activity and an upward trend in housing investment (i.e. subscriptions to telecommunications and electric power connections) are projected to support revenue growth. Total industry revenue will remain below its peak of .2 billion in 2007, though, resulting in an annualized decline of 4.5% over the past five years. As the economy improves, rising employment will increase consumer spending, tax revenue and, consequently, demand for private and publicly funded construction projects, particularly in the utilities and transmission line markets.
