Kaiser health, wellness facility coming to Elk Grove - Richard Isaacs MD

abbandavis25 — 2015-10-19 00:38:51 UTC

On June 16, Kaiser Doctors and area leaders broke ground at what will eventually be the new Promenade Medical Office Building in south Elk Grove.

The two-story, 67,000- square-foot Kaiser Permanente facility will be designed to focus on matters affecting patients’ mind, body and soul.

It will feature a 50-meter outdoor sports track that will be part of a 4,000-square-foot Sports Medicine Center where athletes can be evaluated and rehabilitated.

In addition to the sports center, the medical office will also house adult medicine, pediatrics, women’s health, health education, radiology, laboratory and pharmacy services.

The building is scheduled to open in late 2011.

Elk Grove Mayor Sophia Scherman, Vice Mayor Steve Detrick, city council member Pat Hume, Dr. Richard Isaacs, M.D., and Dr. Lisa Liu, M.D., broke ground where the new facility will be built.

“Your presence in Elk Grove means more quality health and wellness for our residents,” Scherman said in a speech before they broke ground.

Dr. Isaacs and Dr. Liu also addressed the crowd.

Liu said the building will be “thoughtfully designed” with soothing colors, local artwork and a coffee bistro inside.

“We’re committed to making our facility a one-stop shop,” she said.

The new office will have a Healthy Living store where members can buy health and wellness equipment.

“We’ve been looking forward to this for quite some time,” Isaacs said. “Driving through the community, we’re aware of the economic impact in this area.”

Liu echoed that statement in her speech, saying, “I’m sure it won’t be long until this facility is surrounded by retail stores and restaurants.”

The building will be adjacent to the vacant Elk Grove Promenade Mall site where construction halted due to developer General Growth Properties undergoing bankruptcy.

When Scherman addressed the crowd, she discussed the unfinished mall behind her. “Although there is no set date, the mall will open,” Scherman said; “hopefully, within two years, it will be completed.”

Kaiser is thinking about the future, Isaacs said.

“We’re really hoping this will stimulate this part of the region,” he said.

In the past 10 years, Kaiser has added 30,000 new area patients. This new facility will be able to accommodate the health needs of current and future members.

Since 1999, Kaiser began phasing out the use of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) plastic in construction and implemented more environmentally friendly construction materials in their building designs.

The Promenade Medical Office Building will be built so that solar energy panels can be added in the future.

Heimdal Security Company: 10 Surprising Cyber Security Facts That May Affect Your Online Safety

abbandavis25 — 2016-06-23 05:18:58 UTC

The cyber security industry is growing as you’re reading this. More specialists join the ranks, more malware is being launched every day than ever before: 230,000 new malware samples/day according to the latest statistics. Naturally, more resources are being deployed to counter cyber attacks. That’s why I thought it would be helpful to sum up 10 cyber security facts that define the current information security landscape.

One of these essential facts is the estimated annual cost for cyber crime committed globally which has added up to 100 billion dollars! And don’t think that all that money comes from hackers targeting corporations, banks or wealthy celebrities. Individual users like you and me are also targets.

As long as you’re connected to the Internet, you can become a victim of cyber attacks.

So that’s why we wanted to walk you through some of the most shocking cyber security facts that you maybe wish you’d known until the present moment.

These will give you a much more accurate idea of how dangerous it really is to go online without proper protection.

1. The most wanted cyber criminals in the world

On FBI’s Most Wanted List for cyber criminals you will currently find 19 individuals, each being responsible for consumer losses ranging from $350,000 to more than $100 million. They are from all over the world and huge rewards are offered for their capture.

2. The most expensive computer virus of all times

Ever wondered how much damage a computer virus can do? Let us give you a compelling example through this next cyber security fact. MyDoom is considered to be the most expensive virus in the world and in cyber security history, having caused an estimated financial damage of $38.5 billion!

3. Social media – a hackers’ favorite target

Currently, according to in depth statistics, there are more than 1.6 billion social network users worldwide with more than 64% of internet users accessing social media services online. Moreover, social networking is one of the most popular ways for online users to spend their time, and a preferred way to stay in contact with friends and families.

4. 99% of computers are vulnerable to exploit kits

Cyber security fact: Oracle Java, Adobe Reader or Adobe Flash is present on 99% of computers. That means that 99% of computer users are vulnerable to exploit kits (software vulnerabilities).

Why? Because the vulnerabilities that these types of software often present are extremely critical: all it takes is one click on an infected advertising banner to give a hacker full access to your computer.

5. Security warning: inside jobs

Maybe you’ll be surprised to find out that a shocking 59% of employees steal proprietary corporate data when they quit or are fired. But there are more types of insider threats to get protection.

6. Social engineering – cyber criminals’ favorite way to manipulate victims

People are the weakest link when it comes to cyber security, which is why psychological manipulation of cyber attack victims is so common.

7. Your government is making you more vulnerable

Cyber security fact: governments around the world are creating malware and using it as digital weapons or in espionage programs. In the past 5 years, more than a handful of government malware have been discovered (such as Stuxnet), but their origins have yet to receive full attribution.

8. There is a real-time map that shows cyber attacks in action

Ever wondered how cyber attacks look at a global scale? Now you have the chance to do it with this real-time map put together by Norse.

9. Hacktivism is the main motivation that drives cyber attacks

Hacktivism accounts for half of the cyber attacks launched in the world. The term represents a subversive use of computers and computer networks to promote a political agenda. With roots in hacker culture and hacker ethics, its ends are often related to the free speech, human rights, or freedom of information.

10. 68% of funds lost as a result of a cyber attack were declared unrecoverable

Cyber crime is not only costly, but poses other problems as well for organizations worldwide. ,

Harmony Chinese Takeaway Review: Exceptional service and Chinese food

abbandavis25 — 2016-10-19 02:14:24 UTC

We garnered different reviews on the internet about Harmony Chinese Takeaway and found out that most of them were positive reviews. This post aims to provide more details about the restaurant by summarizing some of the experience and feedbacks of different individuals. Some of them even travel a long way just to taste the top quality food of the takeaway restaurant.

"It is perfect for Christmas Eve!” The person who made this statement was surprised to taste such great food from a Chinese takeaway. His family prefers Chinese food in Christmas Eve and because of the recommendation of his close friend, he decided to take that extra mile just to buy food at Harmony. And he regrets nothing because his family enjoyed the food so much.

"The place was so clean and the staff never fails to give us a warm welcome". This person was with her family and they never thought that Harmony Chinese Takeaway has such high standards in preparing their food and running their business. Taking your orders at Harmony was also about having a good conversion with their staff.

"The members of the staff were all friendly and nice". One time, this person visits the restaurant with his friend in a wheelchair and he witnessed how one of the staff rushed to his help to get his friend into their car, proving its best customer service. Harmony and its trustworthy staff always get praise from several customers.

In every food they ordered, the customers said on reviews that it was still hot even after they got home. The food at Harmony Chinese Takeaway has also evidently rich flavor and was always described with words such as "yummy", "very delicious", "mouthwatering", and “melts in your mouth".

Without a doubt, customers will come back to Harmony Chinese Takeaway again to order the best Chinese food.

Cyber Security: IRS, Security Summit Partners, Remind Taxpayers To Protect Themselves Online

Cyber Security: IRS, Security Summit Partners, Remind Taxpayers To Protect Themselves Online

abbandavis25 — 2016-12-12 23:49:09 UTC

IRS News:

PHOENIX ― The Internal Revenue Service, the states and the tax industry recently urged taxpayers to take steps to protect themselves online to help in the fight against identity theft

Scammers, hackers and identity thieves are looking to steal taxpayers’ personal information and ultimately their money. But, there are simple steps taxpayers can take to help protect themselves, like keeping computer software up-to-date and being cautious about giving out their personal information.

This is the first reminder to taxpayers during “National Tax Security Awareness Week,” which runs through Friday. This week, the IRS, the states and the tax community are joining together to send out a series of reminders to taxpayers and tax professionals as a part of the ongoing Security Summit effort.

Here are some best practices taxpayers can follow to protect their tax and financial information:

- Understand and Use Security Software. Security software helps protect computers against the digital threats that are prevalent online. Generally, the operating system will include security software or you can access free security software from well-known companies or Internet providers. Essential tools include a firewall, virus/malware protection and file encryption if you keep sensitive financial/tax documents on your computer. Do not buy security software offered as an unexpected pop-up ad on your computer or email. It’s likely from a scammer.

- Allow Security Software to Update Automatically. Set security software to update automatically. Malware – malicious software – evolves constantly, and your security software suite updated routinely to keep pace.

- Look for the “S.” When shopping or banking online, always look to see that the site uses encryption to protect your information. Look for “https” at the beginning of the web address. The “s” is for secure. Unencrypted sites begin with an http address. Additionally, make sure the https carries through on all pages, not just the sign-on page.

- Use Strong Passwords. Use passwords of eight or more characters, mixing letters, numbers and special characters. Don’t use your name, birthdate or common words. Don’t use the same password for several accounts. Keep your password list in a secure place or use a password manager. Don’t share passwords with anyone. Calls, texts or emails pretending to be from legitimate companies or the IRS asking to update accounts or seeking personal financial information are almost always scams.

- Secure Wireless Networks. A wireless network sends a signal through the air that allows it to connect to the Internet. If your home or business Wi-Fi is unsecured, it also allows any computer within range to access your wireless and potentially steal information from your computer. Criminals also can use your wireless to send spam or commit crimes that would be traced back to your account. Always encrypt your wireless. Generally, you must turn on this feature and create a password.

- Be Cautious When Using Public Wireless Networks. Public Wi-Fi hotspots are convenient but often not secure. Tax or financial Information you send though websites or mobile apps may be accessed by someone else. If a public Wi-Fi hotspot does not require a password, it probably is not secure. Remember, if you are transmitting sensitive information, look for the “s” in https in the website address to ensure that the information will be secure.

- Avoid E-mail Phishing Attempts. Never reply to emails, texts or pop-up messages asking for your personal, tax or financial information. One common trick by criminals is to impersonate a business such as your financial institution, tax software provider or the IRS, asking you to update your account and providing a link. Never click on links even if they seem to be from organizations you trust. Go directly to the organization’s website. Legitimate businesses don’t ask you to send sensitive information through unsecured channels.

Each and every taxpayer has a set of fundamental rights they should be aware of when dealing with the IRS. These are your Taxpayer Bill of Rights. Explore your rights and our obligations to protect them on IRS.gov.

Devin Fitzpatrick Art Consultants Review: Simple steps in choosing the best art consulting service

When you’re dealing with art, you need to understand that it should include proper and right handling. Devin Fitzpatrick Art Consultants, one of the most trusted art consulting services in Seattle, suggests acquiring the service of a qualified art consulting service especially if you don’t have enough knowledge in engaging with art. For example, you need the expertise of such consultants in buying or selling an art.

The whole buying or selling process could be easier with the help of an art consultant, along with looking for the right artwork that suits your likings. If you’re an artist or a seller of an artwork and you’re unfamiliar on how to present your work to the local or international community, you better get the service of an art consultant to help you showcase your work in the right places using the right manner. They could magnet buyers to your art as well so leave the building of ideas to them.

But certain challenges might await you in finding the right art consulting service for your needs. You may find a lot of this kind of service around in your area, but the problem lies within your compatibility to the consultant since you need to find your perfect match. Devin Fitzpatrick Art Consultants recommends making it your homework to carefully choose the right one to work with.

Make sure that the consultant understands you

The first thing that you need to do in choosing your art consultant is making sure that he or she has a clear understanding of your needs, tastes, and preferences. This is to ensure that you’re going to be comfortable with him or her in fulfilling your art objectives. The art consulting service should also be committed to helping you with what you should get.

A capable art consulting service won’t find it hard to understand you and your unique needs since such organization has a lot of experience working with different people in the past. They should be flexible in dealing with each client’s needs similar to Devin Fitzpatrick Art Consultants.

The consultant should be willing to work within your budget

The second important thing involves your budget. You might find the service of such expert a little bit expensive so you should set a specific budget in getting the service of one. You need to make sure that the consultant agreed to your stated budget.

Conduct a detailed research

The third is to carefully find the right art consultant for you within your local area or through online. You could search by foot, or you may ask the recommendations from your friends, neighbors or relatives. It would be much better if they already had an experience working with an art consultant to give you credible information. You could also get the names of the art consultants you should avoid because of their bad or poor service. Online searching is definitely the easiest way to look for the art consultant that you need, you simply need to visit any search engines and from there, you may begin your search.

Lastly and probably the most important thing that you need to note is to have a good relationship with the art consultant. With an established relationship, you could work well with the consultant and ensure positive results.

Devin Fitzpatrick Art Consultants had been a good art consultant service throughout the years because of Devin’s expertise and good knowledge with regards to art. Finding a similar art consulting service could be hard but it would be all worth it in the end.

Devin Fitzpatrick Art Consultants Review: Proper steps to home art decorating

abbandavis25 — 2017-11-22 05:05:29 UTC

Majority of people want happy, energetic and livelier surroundings for their home, this is why many of them choose art for more good impact. Devin Fitzpatrick Art Consultants respects the thought of other people who prefer a minimalistic approach, but to those who love to design their home with artwork, they have a few pieces of advice for you.

First on the list is the idea of putting art too high. There are many people who do not like art that is placed very high, so some of your visitors might not appreciate the artwork in such location. To have a better result in doing your home art décor, identify first the proper and right hanging height of an art piece in your wall to balance its appearance to the entire space.

The right scaling is also essential in doing home art decoration. Don’t place small art pieces on a huge space and never put big art pieces in a small space. You can organize small artworks on larger mats or thicker frames to match it to the space and size of the wall. But if you’re into the intentional out-of-scale design, then keep in mind to put other things out-of-scale as well where everything in that particular space should be following that concept.

Creating a wall collage can also be an awesome idea. But don’t forget to imagine the result first and determine if it gives a good energy or a chaotic one. Make sure to properly arrange everything so you won’t end up with a disordered result. Think hard before you drill many holes in your wall.

You can also choose from different varieties and mix a few of them. You may arrange a lot of canvases or framed arts around your home, or hang tapestries and pin up quilts. Art can be found on any forms and it is not only limited to those that can be hung on the walls. Find more beautiful art in your local area or through the internet and put them all together in your lovely home.

From the name itself, negative space or blank spots in your house can also be a worthwhile place that can give the feeling of calmness since it shows a less hectic appearance where it could bring more impact to other spaces with art nearby as well. Placing a lot of art in one place may not look pleasing to the eyes anymore.

Devin Fitzpatrick Art Consultants also advice putting layers into your decorations while bearing in mind to connect every art piece with each other. Never put an artwork with just one nail as its support, learn how to use the proper hanging tools and hardware.

Having different forms of art in your house can bring constant beauty around your place. Contact Devin Fitzpatrick Art Consultants for more helpful tips on art decorating.

Bell Moore Group Inc. Review: Komplexitat und Bequemlichkeit

abbandavis25 — 2017-12-21 02:32:07 UTC

Haben Sie eine Ahnung, wie sich das Leben in einem alten Dorf anfühlt? Leben in einem Ort, wo es kein Internet, Unterhaltungen und die lokalen Geschäfte sind nicht in der Nähe, wo Sie gelebt haben. Fragen Sie Ihre Großeltern dann.

Die meisten Leute heutzutage haben nicht die Gelegenheit, zu erfahren, was es wie fühlt, in den Dörfern zu leben, in denen jedes Haus praktisch Pflanzen und Tiere für Nahrung anhebt, um zu überleben. Dorfhäuser zurück in der Zeit wurden häufig von Wäldern und Stein mit Pflanzen und Bäumen um Sie herum und tiefen Brunnen, die anderen Nachbarn als auch serviert gebaut. Die Menschen pflegten ihre Farmen und verkauften Sie auf dem städtischen Markt. Das Leben zurückgibt es schlicht und einfach und ohne die Komplexität der heutigen Welt, weil Sie schon alles, um den Alltag zu überleben.

Menschen, die noch nie in den Dörfern war nicht die wahre Schönheit der dörflichen Lebensstil. Zurück in den Tagen wurden die Dinge anders gemacht und einige dieser Methoden sind noch heute vorzuziehen. Leben in der heutigen modernen Welt ist viel bequemer, aber voller Komplexität und Kämpfe um einen Lebensunterhalt zu verdienen und zu überleben, weil man nicht überleben kann lange ohne Geld. Mit dem Einsatz von Geld, müssen Sie nicht auf grundlegende Probleme wie Lebensmittel, Wasser, Obdach oder sogar Kleidung Gesicht. Sie können gehen für eine Mahlzeit von Zeit zu Zeit, da es so viele Restaurants, die ihren Hunger füllen können. Darüber hinaus müssten Sie nicht weit reisen, nur um grundlegende Sachen von lokalen Annehmlichkeiten zu erhalten.

Obwohl das Leben heute ist viel komplexer, die Mehrheit der Menschen noch umarmte das moderne Leben, wie es ultimative Ausdruck der persönlichen Freiheit und bequemes Leben bietet. Je nachdem, wo Sie aufgewachsen sind und welchen Lebensstil Sie haben, Bell Moore Group Inc wird auf jeden Fall helfen Ihnen bei der Suche nach einem Ort, der Ihren Bedürfnissen und Lebensstil gerecht wird.
