Most of us think about technology on a mostly two-dimensional plane as we flick our way from screen to screen on touch glass. But today’s tech includes applications that are far from flat, says major-events expert Ann Windham.
“What if you could control all primary aspects of major events like trade shows, big weddings, award ceremonies and like through your iPad or smartphone; imagine shutting everything down at the end of a long and exhausting night by pushing a button on your phone – that’s just some of what’s possible with today’s software,” says Ann Windham, president and CEO of Imagine Xhibits, Inc.
Lights, climate control, projectors and monitors, curtains, fountains and much more can be controlled with the flick of an app, and the data that you can take away from trade shows, for example, can tremendously improve your businesses trajectory,” says Windham, who is holding her own event – her Trade Show Technology Summit 2013, http://tstechsummit.com/, scheduled July 9 at the Irving Convention Center at Las Colinas.
Nathan Belofsky’s Strange Medicine casts a gimlet eye on the practice of medicine through the ages that highlights the most dubious ideas, bizarre treatments, and biggest blunders. From bad science and oafish behavior to stomach-turning procedures that hurt more than helped, Strange Medicine presents strange but true facts. The book focuses on widely accepted ideas and practices by real doctors, not quirks or quacks, and virtually all the doctors mentioned were among the leading medical figures of their time.
In Ancient Greece, doctors applied electric eels to patients with migraines. In medieval times dentists burned candles into patients’ mouths to kill off those pesky invisible worms gnawing at their teeth. Even in the modern era, one of the world’s best-known brain surgeons, Dr. Walter Freeman, drove ice picks into patients’ eyes to practice lobotomies. Strange Medicine is an illuminating panorama of medical history as you’ve never seen it before.
In Do You Believe in Magic?, medical expert Paul A. Offit, M.D., offers a scathing exposé of the alternative medicine industry, revealing how even though some popular therapies are remarkably helpful due to the placebo response, many of them are ineffective, expensive, and even deadly.
Dr. Offit reveals how alternative medicine—an unregulated industry under no legal obligation to prove its claims or admit its risks—can actually be harmful to our health.
Using dramatic real-life stories, Offit separates the sense from the nonsense, showing why any therapy—alternative or traditional—should be scrutinized. He also shows how some nontraditional methods can do a great deal of good, in some cases exceeding therapies offered by conventional practitioners.
An outspoken advocate for science-based health advocacy who is not afraid to take on media celebrities who promote alternative practices, Dr. Offit advises, “There’s no such thing as alternative medicine. There’s only medicine that works and medicine that doesn’t.”
Marlene Browne is a lawyer licensed in New Jersey, Massachusetts, and Colorado. In addition to writing, Ms. Browne lectures on the law and appears regularly on national radio and TV. The author has written The Divorce Process, Boomer's Guide to Divorce, To Prepare A Face, Aspen Heir, and from Adams Media, If the Man You Love Was Abused: A Couple's Guide to Healing and You Can't Have Him – He's Mine: A Woman's Guide to Affair-Proofing Any Relationship. For those who are ending marriages and starting over, while coping with teenaged children, aging parents, looming retirement, health and fitness concerns and other midlife issues, the Boomer’s Guide to Divorce by author Marlene Browne offers advice. http://www.marlenebrowne.com/
