Wellness & Prevention Inc. Study Finds Binge Eating Significantly Impacts Employee Work Productivity

Wellness & Prevention Inc. Study Finds Binge Eating Significantly Impacts Employee Work Productivity
Ann Arbor, Mich. (PRWEB) June 06, 2012
Wellness & Prevention, Inc., a Johnson & Johnson company, announced that a study published in the April issue in the Journal of Occupational and Environmental Medicine found significant associations between binge eating and work productivity impairment. Binge eating, defined as overeating combined with a sense of loss of control, is a major contributor to obesity. Based on the study data, researchers estimated, for a company of 1,000 employees, an annual productivity loss of $ 107,965.00 due to binge eating. The results demonstrate that efforts to reduce productivity impairment should target binge eating as a modifiable risk behavior.
The study, conducted by Wellness & Prevention, Inc., evaluated HealthMedia® Succeed® Health Risk Assessment (HRA) responses of 46,818 adult employees. Health care plans and employers deployed the HRA questionnaires to their employees as part of their population health offerings and/or health benefit structure.
While binge eating remains an underreported health risk behavior – possibly due to the stigma associated with overeating – many studies indicate that individuals may be more likely to disclose this type of behavior in a computer-based health risk assessment than in a face-to-face or written assessment.
Researchers found that 9.4 percent of the employees in the study reported binge eating. Frequent binge eating was the third highest health risk associated with excess productivity impairment, while depression and stress were the top two associated risks. Additionally, the findings showed that binge eating was significantly more common among obese employees (17.8 percent) than among non-obese employees (5.5 percent).
An increasingly obese workforce has many cost implications for employers, including the indirect costs that result from decreased employee work productivity, as well as the direct costs from increased utilization of health care services by employees. The health implications for obese individuals are numerous as well: increased potential for chronic illness, disability, elevated health care costs, decreased earning potential, shortened life expectancy, and a diminished quality of life.
“These findings suggest that efforts to improve the health, productivity, and performance of employee populations should include routine screenings and interventions for binge eating behavior,” said Richard Bedrosian, Ph.D., Director of Behavioral Health and Solution Development at Wellness & Prevention, Inc. “The inclusion of questions about binge eating in HRAs can be a valuable tool for identifying individuals who binge eat, and who may not otherwise seek help for this health risk behavior.”
About Wellness & Prevention, Inc.
Wellness & Prevention, Inc., a Johnson & Johnson company, helps organizations renew the health, energy, and performance of their employees and members, and offers an integrated portfolio of solutions to cover the full spectrum of population health – from wellness and prevention, to behavioral health, to chronic disease support.

Instant Energy: New Wind, LLC. and Apperisity, Inc. Unveil ELPoD Giving Portable Power and Light on Demand that Operates Off the Grid and Without Fuel
Cody, Wyoming (PRWEB) May 08, 2012
For Mario Navarrete, executive vice president of field operations for Apperisity, Inc., the tower in his parking lot is the culmination of his own love of engineering, and the desire to build a sustainable and a renewable energy solution that could be used “on demand.” Thus, Apperisity One was born and with the company’s partner, New Wind, LLC, a world-wide provider of small-wind vertical–axis wind turbines (VAWTs) and other renewable energy products out of Nashville, Tenn. The two companies have joined forces and technologies to create a completely mobile product.
“Our team has developed the right combination and components to make the Emergency Light and Power on Demand (ELPoD), a portable alternative energy power source,” Navarrete said. “The current prototype is made from a recycled chassis. The generator is a New Wind turbine and solar panel with a current output of 450 watts per hour of energy. The lighting system is a 60 watt LED that produces more than 5,000 lumens of brilliant white light. This mobile power plant can be used by any organization that has a power-on-demand need.”
The use of diesel, gasoline, oil or antifreeze is non-existent, Navarrete said, which makes this unit environmentally safe and easy to use and maintain. ”The simplicity of design makes this mobile wind and solar tower cost effective and an affordable alternative within the wind and solar power industry. Our goal is to develop and manufacture the product here in Cody, Wyoming, which will create new jobs and help to stimulate our local economy with a safe and renewable energy source that is eco-friendly and non-dependent upon fossil fuel products.”
Apperisity One is a hybrid solar and wind lighting solution that can be installed on any mobile light tower with a few simple modifications, instead of the standard inefficient and high-maintenance construction lights, Navarrete said. “The unit operates off a two-fold micro grid with a battery backup, so on those days when it is storming the wind turbine generates energy and on sunny days the solar panel kicks in to Emergency Light and Power on Demand (ELPoD) create energy. It is hooked up to a console that is programmed to turn the unit on when lighting is necessary.”
All of the sustainable energy components, he said, will be supplied through the partnership with New Wind, including the turbine, solar panel, and batteries.
“Apperisity One is an efficient and affordable solution for security lighting, highway maintenance, construction projects, emergency response needs in areas that are difficult to access, as well as fairs, festivals, and other temporary events. You just hook the unit to the back of any vehicle that is set up to tow and transport it to the required site for easy set-up and immediate use,” he said. “The unit can be erected and turned on in just a matter of minutes. It does not require a power grid for use and is extremely cost efficient to maintain. The mobile turbine is also cost efficient and affordable to use with no fuel costs or high maintenance fees to worry about. The Apperisity One is practically maintenance free.”
“When cost-effective energy is required, it will now be available to our customers in a sustainable fashion, anytime or anywhere the need arises,” Navarrete said.
“Sustainable energy is one of today’s main stream interests where the technology has reached a point where it is affordable and practical. Renewable energy, particularly small wind systems, has been very costly in the past. With our product, that cost has been greatly decreased making it an affordable option for those requiring sustainable energy needs now and in the future. Our motto is: ‘As long as there is wind and sun, we will have good ‘NEWS’ which is short for Natural Energy With Sustainability for our customers.”
It has taken several years, many prototypes, good old-fashioned ingenuity, and trial and error to get the Apperisity One where it is today, he said, adding prototypes were made out of recycled material. “We found the only turbine that would work was one of New Wind’s VAWTs,” he said. “After working on it, we now have it down to the production stage and are ready to take orders. We can also build them to customer specifications.”
Stuart Wiston, president of New Wind, LLC, said he was excited to be on the ground floor of Apperisity One. “It is true that necessity is the mother of invention. Mario saw a need and tackled it. We have watched the process and we are cheering him on. This is how the present and future energy needs will be fulfilled – by someone taking what they know and putting it to use. The fact our turbine was the right piece of the wind puzzle makes us all excited around here. We get his photos and videos of the progress – him in Wyoming and us here in Nashville – and watched it continually be improved upon to what it is now. We are so proud to be a part of the solution, and especially with someone as positive, creative, and clever as Mario.”
The Apperisity is continually evolving. Navarrete said he is working on making the system, “self-approving. We are putting it on a hydraulic pole with limit switches so the turbine will raise or be lowered to where conditions are perfect for maximum output without hurting the turbine.” He said the ability to self-lower during harsh weather is also a built-in safety feature.

Rising Consumer Awareness on Environment Issues to Stimulate the Demand for Green Marketing, According to New Report by Global Industry Analysts, Inc.

Rising Consumer Awareness on Environment Issues to Stimulate the Demand for Green Marketing, According to New Report by Global Industry Analysts, Inc.
San Jose, California (PRWEB) April 27, 2012
Follow us on LinkedIn – The bulging demand for eco-friendly products and the consequent buoyancy of green marketing concept in the modern era is primarily driven by rising consumer awareness about environment, regulatory pressure to adopt eco-friendly products and processes, and concerns about health and safety. Green marketing, also termed as ecological marketing, environmental marketing and eco-marketing, refers to the promotional activities aimed at transforming consumer perceptions about a brand. Rising awareness among general consumers about environmental degradation due to population explosion and unrestricted consumption of natural resources has led industries to adopt environmental ethics in their operations. The limited availability of natural resources implies that the corporate sector needs to focus on efficient utilization of such resources and minimize wastage, while placing emphasis on achieving business objectives, whereby the concept of green marketing has gained prominence. Companies developing novel and improvised services and products, while also caring for their environmental impact, can benefit through access to new markets, enhanced profitability and competitive edge over rivals.
Green marketing has proven to be a relatively recession-proof sector, with sustainable products continuing to register steady sales even during adverse conditions. This is attributed to the continuing adoption of green products and services among environmentally conscious consumers regardless of the economic scenario. The green marketing concept evolved more as a competition survival strategy and marketing tool for businesses and marketers during the recession period. This is attributed to the fact that green marketing emphasizes on avoiding wastage, make efficient use of available resources, and recycling. As a result, green marketing is finding high degree of acceptance among businesses with relatively tight marketing budgets. With consumer preferences skewing towards green products, several initiatives are being undertaken to promote green marketing. Internet is evolving as a popular medium for carrying out marketing of green messages, with print, television, mobile, and direct mail methods emerging as other popular approaches. Several online green shopping sites have emerged in recent years, providing assistance to web-savvy consumers in finding environment friendly products. Leading brands are orchestrating public relation partnerships and campaigns with eco-involved non-governmental organizations, such as Live Earth and World Wildlife Fund. In addition, retail displays and product packaging are using “green” ideas for proper visual communication.
Developed markets of Europe and North America continue to be traditional market leaders, capturing a substantial share of the world market, as stated by the new market research report on Green Marketing. In terms of highest growth potential, Asia-Pacific is projected to race ahead at the strongest CAGR of 22% over the analysis period. In the US and Europe, growing awareness about the environment is driving consumers to invest in energy efficient homes, fuel-efficient vehicles, and recycling. The green marketing concept is picking up rapidly in developing Asian economies such as India with increasing awareness among companies and consumers about environment friendly products. Companies are slowly adopting green technologies as part of social responsibility drive and as a marketing tool to gain competitive advantage. The recent years witnessed large hotel chains sporting eco-room concept with energy efficient bars, organic bed linens and recycled paper napkins. Banks are also catching up the green drive by offering green services such as paperless banking and energy efficient equipment at ATMs. Several companies are venturing into developing renewable energy sources of the country and are establishing units to manufacture solar, wind and biofuel equipment.

Global Demand for Glass Packaging to Post Steady Growth, Backed by Increasing Use in Certain End-Use Markets, According to New Report by Global Industry Analysts, Inc.

Global Demand for Glass Packaging to Post Steady Growth, Backed by Increasing Use in Certain End-Use Markets, According to New Report by Global Industry Analysts, Inc.
San Jose, California (PRWEB) February 02, 2012
Follow us on LinkedIn – Glass, as a packaging material, witnesses renewed focus following instances of the chemicals being associated with other alternative packaging that raised environmental, health, and purity concerns. The safety approval of the general use of glass containers by the US FDA further established the position of the material. The response of the food and beverages industry to the demand for safer packaging was evident by Coca-Cola’s move of switching back to glass bottles for packaging its soft drink, Coke, for mainstream retailers. The glass industry is undertaking vigorous research initiatives to develop lighter yet stronger glass containers, as well as novel recycling efforts to increase the collection of superior quality cullet to make glass containers. The industry is also expected to continue educating consumers regarding the health and environmental benefits generated from opting for glass containers.
Glass packaging is generally used for packing upscale natural sodas and juices. Glass stands out on the crowded store shelf for displaying Natural soda or New Age brands. Natural soda or other new brands packaged in glass are more attractive than in other packaging. Even a normal drink, when packed in glass, tends to be more attractive and rich. Super premium spirits have brought the glory of glass packaging back onto the center stage once again. Super premium beverage producers as well as other upscale beverage makers prefer glass packaging to other options and are switching back to glass from plastics. Majority of the beverage companies prefer glass packaging to other types of packaging, for marketing their products. Glass is used as a packaging material due to its ability to preserve taste, its esthetic qualities, its cleanliness, and its recyclability. Major types of glass containers used in packaging include bottles, jars (cosmetic and fruit), jugs, medicinal bottles, and vials.
The demand for healthy, premium beverages designed to improve memory, energy and health is booming with the growing health consciousness of consumers. Most of these premium consumer beverages contain sophisticated ingredients that need superior barrier protection from oxygen and light, which is one of the unique features of glass. The luxury foods and wine industry prefers glass to other materials. Alcoholic beverages are the major end-users of glass containers. Beverage companies use glass containers as marketing tools. The clarity and barrier properties of glass have made it to be most suitable for beverages. The introduction of lightweight glass bottles has diminished the fast rate of replacement of glass by PET. Beer is a major end-use segment for glass containers, with food, non-alcoholic beverages, and cosmetics and fragrances representing other major end-use markets.
The introduction of Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) tag for glass containers is expected to boost the demand for glass products in the market. The new RFID tag, which portrays better resistance to chemicals and heat, could be integrated into the curved glass plates that include glass bottles and test tubes. Despite the concerted efforts by glass manufacturers, the glass industry still faces strong competition from other materials. Among all the major packaging materials, glass faces the maximum threat of substitution. PET bottles, metal cans and paperboard containers threaten to displace glass from many segments. Glass is facing stiff competition from plastic materials in the food packaging industry. Plastic containers have begun to penetrate into wide-mouth jars and bottles in the food sector.
The research report titled “Glass Packaging: A Global Outlook” announced by Global Industry Analysts Inc., provides a collection of statistical anecdotes, market briefs, and concise summaries of research findings. The report briefly discusses the overview and trends in the global glass packaging market, demand dynamics in various end-use sectors of glass packaging, threat from substitutes, and its demand outlook. The report also recapitulates recent noteworthy mergers, acquisitions, and other strategic developments. Regional markets briefly abstracted include the United States, Canada, France, Germany, UK, Japan, China and India, among others. Market discussions in the report are punctuated with fact-rich market data tables. Also included is an indexed, easy-to-refer, fact-finder directory listing the addresses, and contact details of companies worldwide.

Cold Craft, Inc. HVAC Technician Receives NATE Certification for Equipment Repair and Installation

Cold Craft, Inc. HVAC Technician Receives NATE Certification for Equipment Repair and Installation
Campbell, CA (PRWEB) December 13, 2011
The newest HVAC technician on Cold Craft Inc’s team recently received NATE certification. Kent Penning, President of Cold Craft, Inc. has a passion for training and education. Penning walks the talk when demonstrating this passion. Over the past several years, Penning has held a teaching position teaching Heating, Ventilation, Air Conditioning and Refrigeration (HVAC/R) at San Jose City College and he makes it a point to keep up his knowledge in the industry.
Penning knew that a company that invests in training employees reaps the benefits through excellent execution, continuous improvement and improved customer care. North American Technician Excellence group, NATE was the logical choice to showcase to the local HVAC industry that Cold Craft Technicians were knowledgeable and competent. NATE, is an independent, not-for-profit national organization dedicated to promoting excellence in the installation and service of HVAC/R equipment by recognizing high-quality industry technicians through voluntary testing and certification. Today NATE Certification is a recognized standard by the HVAC/R industry leaders.
NATE certification is a series of tests and it is supported by the entire HVAC/R industry as well as endorsed by the Department of Energy. Penning understands that using NATE certified technicians elevates his company to a higher level. Heating and cooling customers should be aware that when they use EPA Energy Star recognized equipment and install and service that equipment by a NATE-certified technician means that they will receive the energy savings they wanted because their unit will work at the efficiency level it was designed for.
Kent Penning thought it was just a dream to get his employees interested in being North American Technician Excellence (NATE) certified, but today, he looks at the Cold Craft, Inc. technical team and he is proud that the team demonstrates the same passion. Cold Craft, Inc. offers monetary incentives for employees passing specific training and this has helped in motivating the technicians, especially new employees, towards their personal improvement in getting certified by NATE and other industry recognized organizations.
Cold Craft decided several years ago that the NATE certification was important to show that their technicians were extremely competent. According to Susan Nichol, Executive VP, Cold Craft, Inc., “Our technical staff embraced the idea of being NATE certified and the technicians formed study groups in keeping with one of the company values, ‘teamwork’ in helping each other pass the exams.” She continued, “Even after passing the exams, our technicians actively participate in the weekly training sessions to maximize the lessons learned from the field experience of others and help new employees study to pass the exams. That passion makes it an exciting place to work,” stated Nichol.
Brill, a NATE-certified technician, oversees the company’s training program. Brill said, “This is not an easy test; it takes hours of experience, training, studying and practice to pass. Technicians who have passed the NATE exams have proven their skill level.”
Consumers can go to the NATE web site (http://www.natex.org) and enter their zip code to find the nearest NATE contractor in their area to get a company that believes in quality to work on their home or commercial building. When on the site, pay attention to the number of NATE certified technicians so you can be assured to get one on your project.
Customers are assured that the HVAC technician’s certification is current because NATE-certified technicians must either renew their certification every five years by retaking the NATE exams or participating in a number of continuing education classes.

Advanced Thin Films, Inc. Named Colorado Photonics Company of the Year
Boulder, Colo. (PRWEB) October 24, 2011
The Colorado Photonics Industry Association (CPIA) has named Advanced Thin Films, Inc. (ATFilms), a precision optics and thin film coating company, the 2011 Colorado Photonics Company of the Year.
The CPIA bestows the Photonics Company of the Year award annually to the company it feels has contributed the most to the Colorado photonics industry over the preceding year. ATFilms was selected from more than 200 companies in the aerospace, renewable energy, defense, life sciences, telecommunications and electronics industries involved in photonics (light-based) technologies.
“Since its inception, ATFilms has established its reputation as a supplier of exceptional optical coatings and superpolished components,” said Brian Knollenberg, CPIA board member. “ATFilms stands as an example of what can be accomplished by talented and committed employees even without substantial capital backing. Over the past nine years, ATFilms has grown from a local boot-strap startup co-located with the Colorado Advanced Photonics Technology Center (CAPT) to become a valued asset of a larger publicly traded corporation, IDEX Corp. ATFilms’ continued growth and capital reinvestment in local operations has been an important factor in strengthening our local photonics industry,” he added.
The Company of the Year award will be presented to Ramin Lalezari, ATFilms president, at the CPIA Annual Meeting Oct. 25 at the University of Colorado (UMC 235) from 3 – 6 p.m. The meeting is open to the public.
“We are honored to have been chosen as the Colorado Photonics Company of the Year,” said Lalezari. “It has been a successful year for us, beginning with our purchase by IDEX and ending with this recognition. Being in the highly competitive optics hub of Boulder, we are continually pushing the envelope to grow our design and manufacturing capabilities and are fortunate to have talented and dedicated employees that continually go above and beyond for continued growth and success.”
