Function of Personal Orbs Discovered and Discussed in Dr. F. Lee Aeilts New Book -- "COSMIC MECHANICS: How We Create Reality With Quantum Waves"

Function of Personal Orbs Discovered and Discussed in Dr. F. Lee Aeilts New Book -- "COSMIC MECHANICS: How We Create Reality With Quantum Waves"

Dr. F. Lee Aeilts discovered the purpose and function of the pesky little gossamer orbs that graffiti digital images of people. These diabolical orbs follow people from lifetime to lifetime doing insidious harm. The evidence can be found in Dr. Aeilts' new book, COSMIC MECHANICS: How We Create Reality With Quantum Waves. An orb is a stealthy quantum mechanical demon. For health and sanity, people must get rid of them. Dr. Aeilts' quantum mechanical discoveries reveal where personal orbs come from and how they work as mind control devices. He shows how to photograph a fascinating world of unseen beings flying in the air around people, watching and manipulating their reality.

Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) June 29, 2007

Dr. F. Lee Aeilts released his discoveries about the 200 trillion year old orbs that people carry with them from lifetime to lifetime. The evidence of the existence of these 21 gram insidious wireless quantum computers can be found in Dr. Aeilts' new book, COSMIC MECHANICS: How We Create Reality With Quantum Waves. He discovered the purpose and function of these pesky little gossamer orbs that graffiti digital images of people. These are not out-of-focus rain, snow or dust orbs. These diabolical orbs are the root cause of evil in the world and man's inhumanity to man. They make humans anti-social, incompetent, dull, fearful, sick and robotic.

This knowledge is so counter-intuitive and contrary to what "everybody knows" that the author feels like Galileo Galilei in 1631. With his telescope he discovered a world on the moon, asteroids and the solar system. But everybody "knew the world was flat, as any fool could plainly see" and it was heresy to think that the earth wasn't the center of God's creation. People wouldn't look into his telescope to see for themselves and evaluate the evidence. He was given the death sentence which was later commuted to house arrest until he died. The world needed a new paradigm and the old one had to die off, one funeral at a time. All Galileo and Dr. Aeilts are asking is for people to look and see for themselves.

Dr. Aeilts has a new paradigm for orbs that fits the evidence well but is so shocking and quantum mechanical that it may take a while to catch on. Niels Bohr, the man who mapped the atom, proclaimed that "Anyone who is not shocked by quantum theory has not understood it." To understand the anatomy of orbs, people have to confront Quantum Mechanics. In 20,000 years of recorded history no one has so much as guessed that the root cause of evil in the world are these insidiuos orbs that humans take with them between lives. Dr. Aeilts details the many misperceptions that distort reality for humans. That's why the function of orbs was so difficult to discover. But now that scientists have Quantum Mechanics and digital cameras to capture the images of orbs, they have the smoking gun evidence that unembodied beings with orbs are all around them watching and manipulating them.

Dr. Aeilts studied Quantum Physics at the University of Utah and discovered how orbs work. He shows how to photograph unseen beings and critters in the air. Orbs cannot be photographed inside the cranium, but when they come out they reflect the photo flash of a digital camera and leave their mark on the image. Everyone can discover how unembodied, unseen beings can manipulate reality. Every human being must understand this material to discover the "unseen hand." The orb is treacherous and insidious because it stays out of sight and works secretly to destroy people and our culture. Humanity has been duped! People have to raise their awareness. They have to think like a master quantum mind controller to protect themselves from the mind controllers around them. To be successful at any game, people have to know as much as the dealer; and that includes the game of life. If people don't know mind control, they'll be had. They've already been had and they aren't even aware of it.

COSMIC MECHANICS contains the theory and mathematics of a unified theory of everything, from the human's creation of the underlying zero-point quantum field to the creation of matter as wave structures in space. There is no discrete, solid chunk of anything in the whole physical universe. It is all standing waves, an illusion.

Orbs work on a subconscious, quantum mechanical level. They are the reactive mind of every individual. Quantum mechanical circuits in the orb are responsible for all the psychosomatic illnesses of man. These quantum circuits are the "invisible" storehouse of recorded painful experiences which react on people like post-hypnotic commands. Getting rid of these circuits brings greater health, increased abilities, higher IQ, faster reaction time, enhanced creative imagination, amazing vitality, deep relaxation, improved memory, stronger will power, a magnetic personality and good self-control.

It is possible for people to rid themselves of these little demons because orbs have an Achilles heel and can be deleted. After all, they are only robotic quantum circuits; a machine. But it takes mental technology and an extremely responsible person to do it. Go to http://www. cosmicmechanics. com (http://www. cosmicmechanics. com) for more info.

Johnson & Johnson/Wharton Fellows Program in Management for Nurse Executives Enrolls 1,000th Participant, Celebrates 25th Anniversary: Seventy-five Nurse Leaders Attend the 25th Anniversary Reunion at the Advanced Management Education Conference; Pulitzer Prize-Winning Presidential Historian Doris Kearns Goodwin Discusses "Legacy"

Johnson & Johnson/Wharton Fellows Program in Management for Nurse Executives Enrolls 1,000th Participant, Celebrates 25th Anniversary: Seventy-five Nurse Leaders Attend the 25th Anniversary Reunion at the Advanced Management Education Conference; Pulitzer Prize-Winning Presidential Historian Doris Kearns Goodwin Discusses "Legacy"

The Johnson & Johnson/Wharton Fellows Program in Management for Nurse Executives has enrolled its 1,000th participant as the nursing management program celebrates its 25th anniversary. During the recent alumni reunion, Johnson & Johnson (NYSE:JNJ) announced plans to fund a full scholarship to the program for a nurse executive from Africa.

PHILADELPHIA (PRWEB) March 19, 2008

 The Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania partners with Johnson & Johnson on the annual three-week nurse executive education program, which provides essential management and finance knowledge for chief nursing officers.

"Over the past 25 years, the Wharton Fellows Program has drawn nursing executives from many different places, fostering robust dialogue and diverse viewpoints," says Sharon D'Agostino, vice president, worldwide contributions and community relations at Johnson & Johnson. "With this scholarship, we're looking forward to extending the reach of this program to a nurse in Africa, furthering our commitment to building the skills of people who serve community health needs around the world." The $10,000 scholarship honors the memory of Lois Ginsburg, the long-time administrative head of the program, and funds all expenses. The company also funds tuition costs and some meal expenses for the 40 nurse executives who attend the program annually.

At the recent two-and-a-half-day Advanced Management Education Conference, a biannual reunion event for nurse management program alumni, attendees celebrated the program's 25th year with the theme, "Charting Your Legacy as a Leader." The theme was "in the spirit of further developing these senior nurse leaders," says Gregory P. Shea, PhD, academic director.

Speakers included Doris Kearns Goodwin, the Pulitzer Prize-winning presidential historian and best-selling author, and Nancy Barry, long-time CEO of the Women's World Bank, a pioneering microfinance organization, and founder of Enterprise Solutions to Poverty.

The legacy theme helped provide attendees with a perspective "on where we came from, where we are now, and where we are going," says Richard J. Gannotta, a former chief nursing officer and now chief operating officer of Duke Raleigh Hospital in North Carolina. "The fellows program reunion becomes a reference point, and a source of further inspiration," he added. The recent reunion program offered unique, interactive sessions with professional artists -- a painter, a sculptor, and writers, including Kelley White, MD, a nationally acclaimed poet and practicing physician. Exploring creativity this way fuels thinking outside the box, Gannotta explains. "It stimulates the right side of the brain. And that approach stays true to Wharton's reputation for cutting-edge and innovative practices."

More generally, the nurse management fellows program helps nurse executives "to continue developing their strategic voice, and their capacity to be a key leader on the executive team," Shea says. It also furnishes skills for managing complex systems, Gannotta adds. "It exposed me to the best minds and the brightest thinking on management, organizational development, and leadership techniques. After attending the fellows program, I went on to achieve a number of professional accomplishments, which added significant value to the hospital's culture, clinical operations, and bottom line."

Catherine Hughes, vice president for Patient Care at Virtua Health in Berlin, N. J., says the knowledge gleaned from the program proved critical in helping Virtua's Chief Nurse Executive team, all Wharton Fellows, to make the business case for additional training resources to implement an electronic medical record system. "It allowed us to speak the language of business to each other and understand what we mean. Now we use that language every day," Hughes says. The nurse executives "have a new level of clarity as executive leaders. They are better able to relate the complexities of finance to the quality of outcomes."

The next Johnson & Johnson/Wharton Fellows Program in Management for Nurse Executives program is scheduled for June 1-20.

TechTarget Adds Construction and Retail Categories to its 2020software. com Web site

TechTarget Adds Construction and Retail Categories to its 2020software. com Web site

Information technology (IT) media company TechTarget, Inc. announced today the addition of Retail and Construction categories to its 2020software. com™ Web site. 2020software. com is focused exclusively on providing small - and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) approaching a business software purchase decision with detailed feature comparison information and access to trial software.

Needham, MA (PRWEB) April 3, 2007

Information technology (IT) media company TechTarget, Inc. announced today the addition of Retail and Construction categories to its 2020software. com™ Web site. 2020software. com is focused exclusively on providing small - and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) approaching a business software purchase decision with detailed feature comparison information and access to trial software. Featuring a "best of breed" or "short list" approach, 2020software. com users can access the Top 7 software solutions vendors in the Enterprise Solutions, Manufacturing ERP Solutions, Mid-Market Accounting Software, HR Software, Business Analytics, CRM Solutions, Hosted CRM, Healthcare, and now, Retail and Construction categories.

"Our research of the Top 50 construction industry software vendors - with combined annual sales of $4.1 billion -- and the Top 50 retail software vendors -- with combined annual sales of $3.5 billion -- indicates potential high demand for a marketing vehicle like 2020software. com," said Mike Wallace, VP, Group Publisher, TechTarget. "With the addition of these segments to 2020software. com, we can now offer software vendors in these categories a direct line to SMB prospects, and provide decision makers in these categories with access to the comparative data needed to make informed IT purchase decisions quickly and efficiently."

"Additionally, within the past 12 months, over 2.4 million Web searches were made against construction software and related terminology, including project management, job management, estimating and scheduling. And for the same period there were over 3.3 million Web searches made using retail software and related terminology including point of sale, inventory management and supply chain management, indicating the Web is firmly established as a primary pre-purchase research tool for both of these categories," concluded Wallace.

Since SMB technology purchases are typically made directly by business owners or managers with minimal IT experience, and within shorter sales cycles than an enterprise-level purchase, 2020software. com provides a Compare By Product Directory limited to a total of 15 technology vendors in each individual category and presenting side-by-side product comparisons by product name, modules, technology platform and competitive advantages. The Compare By Product Directory also allows decision makers to request multiple software demonstrations, and is further enhanced with Vendor Product Profile Pages providing details on specific vendors and product attributes.

"The 2020software. com model is a great tool for reaching our typical purchaser, the construction business owner or manager who needs a software solution for a real-time business challenge," said Deb Carpenter-Beck, Marketing Director for Sage Software, providers of business management solutions specifically tailored for the construction and real estate industries including Sage Master Builder and Sage Timberline Office. "Prospects generated through 2020software. com get the comparative information they desire quickly. 2020software. com is an effective way for us to connect with these people."

Within the Construction category 2020software. com will emphasize project management, job management and scheduling software segments; and for the Retail category emphasis will be on point of sale, inventory management and supply chain management software segments. Client companies currently featured in the Construction category include Sage Timberline, Jonas Software and Moraware Job Management Software. Client companies currently featured in the Retail category are CORESense and Datavanatage/CommercialWare.

The Diet Joke Receives Prestigious Mom’s Choice Award

The Diet Joke Receives Prestigious Mom’s Choice Award

The Mom's Choice Awards® names The Diet Joke among best in family-friendly products.

San Diego, CA (PRWEB) October 30, 2010

The Mom's Choice Awards® (MCA) has named The Diet Joke by Lisa Pedace a Gold Recipient in the category of Adult Books - Health, Nutrition, Fitness & Safety. The awards program recognizes authors, inventors, companies, parents, and others for their efforts in creating quality family-friendly media, products, and services.

The Diet Joke, Pedace’s first book, is a laugh-out-loud, common-sense approach to better health. Filled with hilarious observations, sound advice, and simple reprogramming activities, The Diet Joke encourages readers to avoid the quick-fix and focus on making permanent lifestyle changes.

“I’m proud to be a Mom's Choice Awards® gold recipient. Moms play such an important role in the kinds of lifestyle decisions the whole family makes,” said author Lisa Pedace. “Healthy lifestyles don’t have to mean spending a lot of money on organic foods, diet plans, or expensive gym memberships. It’s simply about making better choices.”

According to Pedace, easy steps the whole family can take immediately to improve their health include skipping soda pop, reducing portion size, adding a fruit or vegetable to each meal, and taking a 30 minute walk each day.

“I think programs like The Biggest Loser send the wrong message about health. It says ‘get active,’ but then it shows grueling sessions in the gym with trainers yelling and contestants puking. It says ‘eat healthy,’ but then it has a cupcake elimination challenge where contestants have to scarf down cupcakes to win immunity. Everybody cries. It’s all backwards to me.”

Pedace, who’s a comic and actress said, “I’ve been watching my weight for decades. I’m not vegan, I’m not carb-free, I don’t spend all day in the gym. Every day I try to make good decisions, practice moderation, get some physical activity, and laugh a lot. That’s what the book is all about.”

The Diet Joke is published by Big Shot Press and retails for $14.95. For more information, visit thedietjoke. com.

Cooking Tips for the Holiday Season

Cooking Tips for the Holiday Season

Cookbook by best-selling Sur La Table chef presents 250 recipes for family meals and gatherings

(PRWEB) December 3, 2003

“Christy is a talented and dedicated culinary professional and a fantastic cooking teacher. Her cooking classes are so popular and in such demand—she has the unique ability to read her students’ hearts. I have witnessed the magic of her presence when she works.”

—Martin Yan, Host of Yan Can Cook

The Family Table

Where Great Food, Friends, and Family Gather Together

Christy Rost

Foreword by Master Chef Martin Yan of PBS TVÂ’s Yan Can Cook

November 2003  ISBN 1-931868-47-6 $29.95

320 pp., 7 x 9, 2 color 8 page full color insert; 16 photos

Dulles, VA: With the holiday season quickly approaching, many family cooks are panicking about how to feed for the masses of family members who have arrived and what to feed them. You want them to enjoy your food, but you need to have dishes that are easy to prepare. Sur La TableÂ’s best-selling chef Christy Rost presents 250 recipes for gathering your family around the table in her newly release cookbook "THE FAMILY TABLE: Where Great Food, Friends, and Family Gather Together."

  Featuring favorite family recipes from celebrity chefs and authors, such as Master Chef Martin Yan, star of the long-running PBS cooking series Yan Can Cook; restaurateur and vegetarian cookbook author, Claire Criscuolo; cookbook author, radio host, and PBS chef, Lauren Groveman; and Executive Chef William Koval of the historic and elegant Hotel Adolphus in Dallas, Texas, "THE FAMILY TABLE" is a practical volume of recipes for todayÂ’s home cook, emphasizing the beauty of simple foods, local ingredients, reasonably priced wines from around the world, and the joy of dining together as a family.

“I am passionate about family meals,” Rost says. “Gathering together around the table provides us with the opportunity to celebrate the most important things in life—love, family, good health, and good friends. Meals are part of the glue that holds our family together and keeps it close.

  They are the way our family celebrates triumphs large and small, the forum in which we discuss current events, school projects and family vacation plans. For some families, sitting down together for a meal occurs primarily during the holidays, but in our home, family meals have always been a daily ritual.”

According to Rost, the key to successfully preserving the family meal is an arsenal of family-friendly recipes. Inspired by her television cooking/lifestyle show, “Just Like Home,” the recipes in "THE FAMILY TABLE" are designed to assist busy families and couples in getting nutritious, delicious meals on the table day after day, night after night.

  The recipes included in "THE FAMILY TABLE" range from all-American favorites like Homestyle Meatloaf and Sunday Best Mashed Potatoes, to Caribbean, Chinese, French, Italian, Japanese, and Mexican cuisine. "THE FAMILY TABLE" is divided into four sections: Everyday Meals, Weekends, Entertaining at Home, and Holidays. Within each section, recipes are grouped by type (salads, entrees, side dishes, etc.), and wine suggestions are included with many of the entrée recipes.

  “Even singles will find this book useful in preparing todayÂ’s popular cocktails, quick and easy appetizers, and meals for last-minute get-togethers,” Rost says. “And anyone as fond of entertaining, but as short on time as I, will love 'THE FAMILY TABLEÂ’s' entertaining section, because I believe the focus of entertaining should be more on the guests and less on the event. This section is devoted to recipes and suggestions that make entertaining fun and easy, but oh-so-distinctive.”

  Recipes in "THE FAMILY TABLE" include: Buttermilk Cornbread Muffins, Tomato Galette, Thick and Creamy Tortilla Soup, Grilled Marinated Pork Chops, Cape Cod Rice Pilaf, Apple Cranberry Muffins, German Apple Pancakes, Mango Spinach Salad with Blackberry Vinaigrette, Portabella Mushroom Turnovers, Pink Rum Desire, Berries with Champagne Sabayon, Grilled Lemon Basil Chicken, Rack of Lamb Dijon, Roasted Herbed Pork Loin, Onion Souffle, and Stuffed Zucchini Boasts.

  Christy RostÂ’s culinary career began in early 1992 when she was asked to serve as the food editor for The Park Cities News in Dallas, Texas, a position she still holds. What followed was an outpouring of support and requests. Since then she has hosted cooking seminars with MacyÂ’s, held cooking classes for Sur La Table, hosted her own television cooking show, “Just Like Home,” appeared on several other television cooking shows, including “At Home Live,” and launched a successful culinary career. Christy is a member of the International Association of Culinary Professionals. She can be heard on the radio every Sunday on KRLDÂ’s “The Restaurant Show with Jim White.” Christy takes classical voice lessons and often sings during her cooking classes. She lives with her husband and two sons in Dallas, Texas. Visit her on the Web at www. easyentertain. com.

BASF Corporation Implements Legal Information Governance Solution from PSS Systems

BASF Corporation Implements Legal Information Governance Solution from PSS Systems

BASF Corporation Using Atlas LCC for In-House E-Discovery Workflow, Including Legal Holds and Collections Management

Mountain View, CA (PRWEB) August 12, 2009

PSS Systems (http://www. pss-systems. com), the leading provider of legal information governance (http://www. pss-systems. com/solutions/legal_hold_retention. html) solutions, today announced that BASF Corporation, the North American subsidiary of BASF SE, which is the world's leading chemical company, has implemented Atlas Litigation Communications and Collections (Atlas LCC) to manage its legal holds (http://www. pss-systems. com/solutions/legal_hold. html) and e-discovery (http://www. pss-systems. com/solutions/legal_hold_costcontrol. html) collections.

"Companies need better systems to reduce legal risk as well as discovery and data management costs," said David Stryker, General Counsel of BASF Corporation. "By implementing Atlas LCC, we've been able to reduce risk and costs while driving a better process for legal holds across the company. As the established standard and with its strong focus on customers, PSS Systems was the clear choice for BASF Corporation."

Corporate legal departments can have hundreds or thousands of legal matters and custodians that require data to be preserved and collected. The typical methods of managing -- spreadsheets and emails to custodians and IT -- are not an effective or efficient means of managing complex legal requirements. The courts have shown the risks of poor processes, and rising data volume and discovery costs have led companies to use business systems to manage legal holds and e-discovery data collection. Atlas enables a better process with less effort and allows corporate counsel to continuously forecast discovery costs; it simplifies compliance for IT and employees to enable defensible disposal to reduce total risk and total cost to the corporation.

"We're delighted that BASF Corporation selected Atlas as their legal holds and discovery workflow system. They join the industry leaders in petrochemical, pharmaceutical, financial services and other industries who recognize that Atlas is the best solution for corporate e-discovery workflow challenges," said Deidre Paknad, President and CEO of PSS Systems. "Atlas enables the legal team to reduce the complexity of multiple holds and over-lapping custodians and collections while also providing the IT department with an efficient solution for managing holds and collections across hundreds or thousands of assets and employees. As a result, our customers better coordinate across legal and IT to eliminate unnecessary legal risk, discovery and data management costs."

Atlas is the gold standard for legal information governance proven by more than 210,000 active holds under management involving more than 15 million custodians and petabytes of data collected, 100,000 retention schedules globally and end users in over 100 countries. Used by leading Global 1000 companies, including 5 of the Fortune 10 and 5 of the global 10 as well as the 5 largest oil, pharmaceutical, financial services, manufacturing, and healthcare companies, Atlas is the trusted solution for world-class companies. The Atlas Suite is the only end-to-end solution for corporate legal, IT, records and business users designed and built on a single, cohesive governance platform.

About PSS Systems:
PSS Systems helps companies eliminate unnecessary legal risk, and discovery and data management costs. Its Atlas suite is the recognized leader in legal information governance with customers like Abbott, Amgen, BASF, BP, Citigroup, ConocoPhillips, First Data, GE, Merrill Lynch, Pfizer, Travelers and Williams. PSS is the innovator that started the legal holds market in 2004 and has the largest concentration of customers and domain experts anywhere. PSS is a trusted business partner to its customers, offering expert insight, best-in-class software, and continuous innovation to address emerging challenges.
