2013-04-19

NEW YORK, NY, April 19, 2013 (Press-News.org) InfoTech, a full-service technology company headquartered in Manhattan, announced the launch of Brazzlebox, a B2B social media site for small and home-based business owners. The initial launch in Syracuse, Rochester, Buffalo and Utica will soon be followed by the nationwide release and the mobile application. InfoTech engaged with Brazzlebox less than a year ago to custom develop the social media site.

Brazzlebox users can instantly connect and network locally with other small and home-based business owners and use the unique system features to promote their business, increase their reach into their local community, discover new business opportunities locally and interact directly with their customers.

InfoTech was tasked with full system development from architecture design, custom development to infrastructure implementation. InfoTech's President and CEO, Matti Kon stated, "We have developed a full scope and complete social media system, which was developed by our team in less than one year. As the landscape of technology is changing daily, I am proud of InfoTech's ability to adapt and develop in new technologies. I expect that over the next few years we will be developing multiple new social media applications, as this is becoming the new system platform methodology. We are pleased to work with Brazzlebox CEO, Glen Zinszer on this venture."

Building a social media site to help small business owners was a long-time vision of Brazzlebox Founder and CEO, Glen Zinszer. "I had a vision and an idea of the type of social media site I wanted to have developed, but what has been created and developed by InfoTech far surpasses my expectations. From business consultation, analysis, research, to actual development, they are truly a professional organization," said Zinszer.

Brazzlebox officially launched yesterday afternoon. To sign-up go to www.brazzlebox.com

NIST tests in New York City suggest how to improve emergency radio communications

2013-04-18

Radio communications can be unreliable in underground tunnels and other large, complicated structures, posing a safety hazard for emergency responders. New tests of wireless emergency safety equipment by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have defined the challenges more precisely and suggest how emergency communications might be improved. In a series of experiments conducted in New York City, an epicenter of underground tunnels and high-rise buildings, NIST researchers measured path loss, or reduced signal strength, which can occur when signals ...

UC Santa Cruz study of pumas in Santa Cruz Mountains documents impact of predator/human interaction

2013-04-18

In the first published results of more than three years of tracking mountain lions in the Santa Cruz Mountains, UC Santa Cruz researchers document how human development affects the predators' habits. In findings published today (April 17) in the online journal PLOS ONE, UCSC associate professor of environmental studies Chris Wilmers and colleagues with the UC Santa Cruz Puma Project describe tracking 20 lions over 6,600 square miles for three years. Researchers are trying to understand how habitat fragmentation influences the physiology, behavior, ecology, and conservation ...

Researchers abuzz over caffeine as cancer-cell killer

2013-04-18

Researchers from the University of Alberta are abuzz after using fruit flies to find new ways of taking advantage of caffeine's lethal effects on cancer cells—results that could one day be used to advance cancer therapies for people. Previous research has established that caffeine interferes with processes in cancer cells that control DNA repair, a finding that has generated interest in using the stimulant as a chemotherapy treatment. But given the toxic nature of caffeine at high doses, researchers from the U of A instead opted to use it to identify genes and pathways ...

Increased brain activity predicts future onset of substance use

2013-04-18

Do people get caught in the cycle of overeating and drug addiction because their brain reward centers are over-active causing them to experience greater cravings for food or drugs? In a unique prospective study Oregon Research Institute (ORI) senior scientist Eric Stice, Ph.D., and colleagues tested this theory, called the reward surfeit model. The results indicated that elevated responsivity of reward regions in the brain increased the risk for future substance use, which has never been tested before prospectively with humans. Paradoxically, results also provide evidence ...

Social gaming promotes healthy behavior, reveals new research

2013-04-18

Adding social gaming elements to a behavior tracking program led people to exercise more frequently and helped them decrease their body-mass index, according to new research from the USC School of Cinematic Arts, the Keck School of Medicine of USC, the USC School of Social Work and the University at Buffalo, SUNY. The project was funded by a grant from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation's Pioneer Portfolio through its national program, Health Games Research. The results suggests that "gamification" may improve the effectiveness of traditional health interventions for ...

ASU student tracks Asian bird's migration patterns; recommends conservation strategies

2013-04-18

An Arizona State University biologist and her team have found that the Asian subspecies of great bustard, one of the heaviest birds capable of flight, covers migratory routes of more than 2,000 miles, traveling to and from its breeding grounds in northern Mongolia and wintering grounds in Shaanxi province in China. The research study, which is available online and will be published in the next volume of the Journal of Avian Biology, is the first of its kind to monitor the movement of this rarely studied subspecies through satellite telemetry and to connect a breeding ...

**A*STAR scientists decipher genome code of a living fossil**

2013-04-18

1. An enigmatic prehistoric fish has brought scientists at A*STAR's Institute of Molecular and Cell Biology (IMCB) together with researchers from all over the world to crack its genomic code. Findings from the study are providing new insights into the evolutionary history of the African coelacanth (Figure 1) and possible clues as to how aquatic creatures transitioned to life on land. 2. Coelacanths resemble the fossilised skeletons of their ancestors from more than 300-million years ago (Figure 2). By sequencing its genome and comparing it to genes of other vertebrate ...

Mayo Clinic poll shows half of americans would consider donating a kidney to a stranger

2013-04-18

ROCHESTER, Minn. -- Good news for anyone needing a transplant; a new Mayo Clinic survey shows that the public's support for both living and deceased organ donation is increasing. Eighty-four percent of respondents said they would be very or somewhat likely to consider donating a kidney or a portion of their liver to a close friend or family member in need, and an astounding 49 percent said they would be very or somewhat likely to consider donating a kidney to someone they have never met, which is often referred to as altruistic or "Good Samaritan" kidney donation.

How deployment affects families

2013-04-18

Approximately 2 million children in the United States have at least one parent deployed in military service; 750,000 of those children are 5 years old and younger. Deployment can disrupt children's well-being and development due to its impact on the care children receive, the destabilization of daily routines, and the effect on soldiers' physical and psychological health upon returning home. Research has indicated that for some children, separation during deployment contributes to heightened levels of behavioral problems, psychiatric difficulties, and poor school performance. ...

Preventing obesity in young children

2013-04-18

More than 12 percent of preschoolers are obese, which means they have a body mass index above the 95th percentile. Among Black and Hispanic children, the figure rises to 16 percent. These early growth patterns often continue through childhood and adolescence, increasing children's health risks, which can affect almost every system in the body, from cardiovascular to mental health. Childhood obesity often occurs in the context of family obesity. Evidence has shown that interventions that address families' dietary choices, mealtime behaviors, and patterns of physical activity ...
