GardenToolbox Incorporate the New Makita 4-Stroke Range on the Website

GardenToolbox Incorporate the New Makita 4-Stroke Range on the Website
(PRWEB UK) 26 February 2012
GardenToolbox is a more focused version of the sister-site, Toolbox. Specialising in everything from garden hand tools to wheelbarrows; the website offers a diverse range of tools and equipment for all gardening enthusiasts. However, the lads at GardenToolbox like to try and stay one step ahead of their competitors and attempt to provide customers with the newest products and the cheapest prices.
Their latest demonstration of this commitment to being ahead of the game can be best observed in the addition of the latest Makita 4-stroke range to the website. Makita have recently released their new 4-stroke engine, currently named; ‘Makita Mini 4-Stroke (MM4)’; the MM4 boasts some serious figures in comparison to conventional 4-stroke engines and equivalent sized 2-stroke engines.
So, people might start asking, just what are these advantages and how can they be beneficial to the average gardener? Here’s a quick run-down of the MM4 engine which has been implemented in some of the new petrol strimmers on the GardenToolbox site.
Performance; the new Makita engine produces an approximate 20-30% increase in power in comparison to a conventional 4-stroke engine.
Emissions; the engine has been designed and engineered to adhere to strict emission regulations and it passes with flying colours even in the most strict emissions test.
Low noise; this means that if operating in a public area such as a park or small, quiet residential areas, the operator will not create excess noise pollution or disturb others.
Minimal maintenance; seeing as the MM4 uses unleaded petrol there’s no need to prepare/mix gas & oil before operation. Nor is there any need to remove the fuel from the tank after use.
Low running costs; all of the above coupled with improved fuel efficiency & consumption makes the MM4 an extremely cheap petrol engine to use and maintain.
Lee Taylor, Product Manager at GardenToolbox gave us his two-cents on the new product addition: “We’ve been extremely excited to get our hands on these new products to test them out and they have certainly not disappointed. I bought a lawnmower with the new 4-stroke engine technology fitted and it appears to be far more economical, to the environment and my wallet, to use. Not to mention how much quieter it is, occasionally in the past I’ve had neighbours remark about the amount of noise I made in the garden… those days are most definitely over!”
GardenToolbox.co.uk is the gardening-focused sister company of the ever expanding Plumbworld Network. Plumbworld was an early pioneer of online trading, started by James and Anita Hickman in 1999 and sold to the Grafton Group PLC in December 2006. Plumbworld now employs more than 50 people in its purpose built warehouse and offices and boasts an astonishing 50+ websites selling everything from cheap showers and chainsaws to a bathroom and sprinklers. The business has a turnover in excess of £18 million and is growing at more than 20% year on year.

Ann Arbor, MI (PRWEB) January 13, 2012
Logic Solutions, Inc. announces the launch of Showcase, a revolutionary sales force automation solution. Showcase is an elegant tablet-based sales system developed for companies who sell products through field sales reps.
Showcase offers an interactive product catalog, quote creation, order transaction, inventory access, customer lookup, a sales material library, merchandise comparison, cross-sell and up-sell suggestions, geolocating, two-way (delta) synching between the remote user and company database, and much more.
The solution has three primary components: Showcase for iPad, Showcase CMS, and Showcase Sync. Showcase for iPad is the front-end mobile app. Showcase CMS is the Content Management System that manages product data, customer information, permissions, imagery, and more. Showcase Sync is the mechanism that synchronizes data between the mobile devices and back-end database.
Customers may choose to supplement the basic functionality package by adding customized features, tailoring the app to their organizations’ specific needs. For example, Showcase can be integrated with a company’s existing CRM to populate customer information.
Showcase streamlines and accelerates the sales process by providing a means for sales reps to easily show, quote, and transact orders at the point of sale. A rep can sync orders for immediate fulfillment or processing, minimizing human error and reducing costs. Business managers will also have quicker and better access to sales analytics, for productivity evaluation.
Logic Solutions’ CEO Jimmy Hsiao states, “We are thrilled to have engineered such a ground-breaking product—it offers everything a sales rep wants and needs to manage and increase sales, and it also pleases management by improving profitability.”
In addition to completing development on two high-profile early adopters from 2011 sales efforts, Logic expects a big year for Showcase in 2012 with several marquee signings in January. Showcase will be available on Android later this year.

Question by Hoofprints: Can someone help me to determine a horse keeping cost comparison between the US and Italy?
I am an US citizen, and am looking at relocating to Italy within the next year. I am in the process of selling my horses and hope to be able to afford a pleasure horse in Italy. Can anyone give me an idea of the board and general upkeep costs of keeping a horse in Italy? As it looks now, I most likely will be in the Southern portion below Rome in an area called Cilento. Any helpful advise is appreciate. Thank you.Thanks for your suggestion. I will try it
Best answer:
Answer by Captain Commando
Although I don’t have an answer for you, I have a suggestion for how you might get the information you are looking for. At least this is how I would proceed.First, I would take the same question and translate it into Italian. You can use 1 of the gratuitous online translators available. Babelfish comes to mind, but there are others excessively.Word it simply because sometimes our American English doesn’t translate eloquently plenty to be easily understood. Then post the same question in the Italy section of Y/A. Then you can use the online translator to translate any replys back into English. All you really need to find out (If I’m reading your post correctly) is the actual board and upkeep for a pleasure horse in a public stable or yard in Italy? Correct? Since you have horses now, you already know what your costs are for your area. Does that make sense? You might also post this question in the Italy section here and glimpse if you get any responses. Good Luck.

Nation?s Leading Medical Organizations of Physicians Support Use of Central Blood Pressure Assessment in Effort to Improve Hypertension Care in Patients

Nation’s Leading Medical Organizations of Physicians Support Use of Central Blood Pressure Assessment in Effort to Improve Hypertension Care in Patients
Silver Spring, MD (PRWEB) January 09, 2012
The National Medical Association (NMA), The Association of Black Cardiologists (ABC) and The Association of Minority Nephrologists (AOMN) today denoted their merged support and adoption of a position statement supporting noninvasive assessment of cardinal blood pressure as a means of better diagnosis and management of hypertension. These organizations have a long history of advocacy for minority populations, and have been at the forefront on the fight to end health disparities.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, two out of three U.S. adults with high cholesterol and half of U.S. adults with high blood pressure are not being treated effectively. In a press release issued by the CDC earlier this year, the urgency of this issue was addressed. “Although we’re making some progress, the United States is failing to prevent the leading make of death—cardiovascular disease—despite the existence of low cost, highly efficacious treatments,” said Thomas R. Frieden, MD, MPH, CDC director. “We need to do a better job improving care and supporting patients to forbidding avoidable illness, disability, and death.”
Cardiovascular disease, which includes hypertensive disease, is a major health concern for all populations but particularly minority patients. “There can be no doubt that hypertension is a serious epidemic, and this is especially true amongst African Americans. The rates of high blood pressure, heart disease, stroke, kidney disease and even memory deficits can all be attributed in some way to high blood pressure. Unfortunately the problem is with diagnosis but also effective control and treatment. The use of central blood pressure monitoring will give a better reckon of the hypertensive patient and help our physicians do better decisions on their treatment plans,” said Cedric M. Bright, MD, an Internist and President of the NMA, the nation’s oldest and largest association of African American physicians.
Central blood pressure assessment is seen as a studied advance in the identification of cardiovascular risk. It also provides physicians with more comprehensive information to improve hypertension treatment and management decisions. These leading organizations believe that the measurement of central blood pressure will advance the national effort to decrease health disparities relate with hypertension.
Hypertension, commonly referred to as high blood pressure, is rampant in African Americans when compared to other populations. Hypertension in African Americans is estimated to be 50% greater than in Caucasians, but the disparity extends beyond the simple elevation of blood pressure. African Americans experience an earlier onset of hypertension, inadequate blood pressure control, increased damage to the kidneys and other vital organs, and increased comorbidities than hypertensive Caucasians. Such disparities contribute to the soaring rates of kidney disease, stroke and heart failure among African Americans.
Most patients are familiar with the traditional method of measurement of blood pressure with a simple cuff around the arm. However, the cuff measures only the blood pressure in the upper arm. The assessment of central blood pressure is more accurate and effective because it measures the pressure at the heart. The two measurements can be very different and central blood pressure readings have been demonstrated in clinical settings to be a better indicator of the damage high pressure can cause on the heart and other organs. Further, there is a case to be made in better therapeutic management (i.e. drug therapy), as medical professionals know that certain medications have different effects on the pressure in the arm and the heart, so central blood pressure is a better indicator of the effectiveness of drugs to reduce high blood pressure.
“We must make headway against hypertension both in diagnosis and treatment in minority populations, particularly African Americans,” said Randall Maxey, MD PhD, a physician specializing in hypertension and renal disease. “The disparity in prevalence and inadequate treatment is insufferable and unsustainable and we are committed to addressing this health crisis. The addition of the measurement of central blood pressure in a noninvasive manner provides invaluable clinical data necessary for improved diagnosis and management.”
Given the significant public health implications, the following policy positions were adopted by these national physician organizations:
Central blood pressure measurement is a valuable, non-invasive clinical tool in the treatment of hypertension, especially in African Americans. Central blood pressure gives valuable information to the physician and thus may lead to improved therapeutic decisions and ultimately break control of blood pressure. Central blood pressure should be added to the measurements utilized by physicians and other clinicians diagnosing and treating African Americans for hypertension.
The organizations encourage that central blood haling measurement be implemented into the standard of care for the treatment of hypertension based on the physician’s decision making. Further, there should be no impediment to the physician utilizing this tool including but not limited to access, reimbursement and eligibility requirements.
“The use of central blood pressure monitoring is a great step in the advancement of effective treatment of hypertension in all Americans, but particularly those populations like African Americans, with increased rates and inadequate treatment. Our position is that we must not lose focus on the need for effective, efficient and continued progress in the treatment of hypertension with the ultimate goal of improved patient outcomes,” said Cedric M. Bright, MD. “We are very proud to have worked together with other organizations to develop this important position statement. There are many factors that contribute to health care disparities, from environmental factors to diet to lifestyle, but the ability to better manage blood pressure via central BP assessment represents an opportunity to have impact on high blood pressure.”
ABOUT THE NATIONAL MEDICAL ASSOCIATION
The National Medical Association (NMA) is the nation’s oldest and largest medical association representing the interests of more than 50,000 African American physicians and the patients that they serve. The NMA repeatedly advocates for policies that would assure equitable and quality health care for all people. To learn more about the NMA visit, http://www.nmanet.org.

Lasagna. It isn’t too simple to make, and you can: make it at house if you buy all the ingredients, depending on what type (veggie, with meat, etc), you can also buy a fresh made one from a restaurant and take it home (many restaurants have take out or the better ones will let you call in an order and you go pick it up yourself), and you tin def. buy frozen (Stouffers brand). Another type of dish you could try this with is with beef stroganoff.
