eBook on Continuous Delivery for Managers Nets 3,000 Downloads

High interest shows CD gaining widespread attention within executive ranks

Boston, MA, July 15, 2014 – A new XebiaLabs eBook on how to develop and release enterprise software within days instead of months has achieved 3,000 downloads in 60 days, making it one of the most popular eBooks for managers on the topic of Continuous Delivery. The book, which is aimed at managers looking for a short, clear introduction to the topic, champions the concept of Continuous Delivery in enabling organizations to build automated software delivery platforms for releasing high-quality applications into the hands of users and customers faster.

“The IT Manager’s Guide to Continuous Delivery: Delivering Software in Days, Instead of Months,” has been well received by CIOs, development managers and professionals in quality assurance, testing and operations (DevOps) who view the fast conversion of good ideas into marketable software as a critical business imperative that drives success.

Continuous Delivery is a set of processes and practices that radically removes waste from the software production process and creates an effective feedback loop with end users. The end result is rapid time-to-market of enterprise applications and mobile apps.

“IT Managers Guide to Continuous Delivery” presents measurable business benefits and is written for non-technical readers, starting with concrete advice on how to get started.

“The overwhelming interest for this book demonstrates that Continuous Delivery is gaining momentum at the executive level,” says co-author Andrew Phillips. “Releasing software quickly with high quality is the first key step…. The subsequent step is to rapidly collect feedback from users to guide the next set of ideas for further improvements. Adopting Continuous Delivery is critical because more and more cases prove that it truly works.”

Protection Provisions to Employ: Breakup Fees and No-Shop Clauses

The inevitable conversation about deal protection during ambulatory care center transactions can involve a bit of confusion.

Dallas, Texas, July 10, 2014 - The inevitable conversation about deal protection during ambulatory care center transactions can involve a bit of confusion. These terms, which are typically set up in the Letter of Intent (LOI), can for the most part be broken down into two specific types: breakup fees and no-shop clauses, also known as standstill agreements.

In an article published by The Ambulatory M&A Advisor, a thorough explanation of what these terms mean and how they can best be applied is given. The article presents the opinions and advice of experts on the subject for those involved in or who are about to be involved in a healthcare transaction.

“Properly structured and negotiated termination fee provisions can help facilitate the urgent care or ambulatory surgery center transaction by ensuring that the buyers have done their home work prior to entering into the LOI,” explained Blayne Rush, President of Ambulatory Alliances, LLC. “In the event that the buyer walks for any reason not allowed in the LOI then the buyer receives a ‘consolation prize,’ if you will, that works to mitigate any damage done to the selling process.”

The Ambulatory M&A Advisor is an online publication that covers the most up-to-date trends and topics surrounding ambulatory care center deal making, including information on investment banking in the ambulatory care realm.

Legendary Carmel Artist Malcolm Moran Works on Display at Mountainsong Galleries in Carmel-by-the-Sea

Malcolm Moran moved to Carmel in 1963 and opened Gallery Carmel, which was a stage for his cast of thousands.

Carmel-By-Sea, CA, July 09, 2014 - Malcolm Moran moved to Carmel in 1963 and opened Gallery Carmel, which was a stage for his cast of thousands. He was also a partner in the Hog's Breath restaurant and had his home and gallery memorialized in the movie "Play Misty for Me".

He became the leader of the contemporary bronze sculpture movement. He is the innovator of dozens of techniques still used by many artists today. He began his education in architecture and industrial design at the University of Washington and went on to study a variety of mediums at Cornish Art School in Seattle, Art Center School in Los Angeles, the Kobe Union in Japan and Cranbrook Academy in Michigan.

His technical skills were honed from working on advanced styling concepts for the Big Three in Detroit – Chrysler, General Motors and Ford – and went onto interior design for the first Boeing 707. Later he was named to the prestigious post as Art Director of the Seattle World Fair.

In the mid-fifties he met Donald Buby and in 1960 they teamed to open their first gallery in Bloomfield, Michigan. In 1963, Moran settled in Carmel, California, and with Buby they established their new gallery and studio. He would become an influential force in the contemporary bronze sculpture movement. Many of his innovative techniques still resonate today.

One of Malcolm's greatest honors was being invited by President Ford and his wife, Betty to have a showing of his art at the White House. In addition to Malcolm's art career, he was also a proud member of the military beginning with the Merchant Marines Academy in California and later serving in the Army as a First Lieutenant during WWII..

Two works displayed at Mountainsong Galleries:
• Malcolm Moran
• BRONZE FALCON
• $55,000.00
• 9”H X 31”W X 28”D

Malcolm started his career as a designer in advanced styling concepts for General Motors, Ford, Chrysler, and Boeing in the 1950’s and was appointed the art director of the 1962 Seattle World’s Fair where the theme was “Space Age”.

This Modern Abstract Sculpture interpretation of a falcon originally made on a smaller scale. A curious Ornithologist heard of Malcolm having live birds in his studio, such as owls, pigeons and Pete the Crow. When he saw the small sculpture of the falcon he was extremely impressed on how accurate it was, it was the best interpretation he has ever seen, and suggested he do a larger one. This piece was fifteen years in the making.

This one of a kind sculpture, is mounted on extremely rare Big Sure jade. It is over 100 years old and has been tumbled and naturally polished by nature, under the ocean. Pieces such as this one are now extinct. This piece has been in the family collection

• Malcolm Moran
• Children at Play
• $50,000.00
• 19”H X 24”W X 12”D

This piece was commissioned by Mr. and Mrs. Edgar Kaiser of their six children playing in the Cypress trees. The sculpture sits on two pieces of very rare Big Sur jade. The sculpture took one year to complete. Mrs. Kaiser wrote Malcolm personal letters describing each child’ personal interests. Copies of these letters are available with the purchase of the piece.

Mr. Kaiser loved this piece so much, he put in his will to have the sculpture displayed on his Crypt. The family granted his wishes, but after time so many people had touched, the family was worried it would get damaged, so they had it removed. Having trouble deciding which sibling should keep the piece they decided to sell it.

Mr. & Mrs. Kaiser were collectors of Malcolm Moran sculptures, Edgar kept a wharf scene along with other Moran sculptures on his private Yacht . This is truly a piece of history.

New Study Shows Magnesium Effective for Hot Flashes in Menopause

A study from the Virginia University Health System has discovered that magnesium supplements can reduce hot flash frequency in women from 52 to 28 per week -- a 41% reduction

Glendale, CA, July 09, 2014 - The North American Menopause Society (NAMS) reports that an estimated 6,000 US women reach menopause each day, which translates to over 2 million women every year. The average age of natural menopause, which is the point of a woman's last menstrual period, is 51. The Women's Health Initiative study, which followed 16,608 women being given hormone replacement therapy (HRT) for menopause symptoms, discovered a high risk of breast cancer, coronary heart disease and stroke from the use of these drugs.

As a result, more and more women today are seeking the use of natural remedies for menopause discomforts such as hot flashes, night sweats, migraine headaches, anxiety, fatigue, and insomnia.

Mineral supplements such as magnesium and calcium have been found to be natural remedies for hot flashes and night sweats. One recent example is a study from the Virginia Commonwealth University Health System. Women with at least 14 hot flashes a week, received 400 milligrams of magnesium oxide for 4 weeks, increasing to 800 milligrams per day if needed. At the end of the study, the magnesium supplements had reduced their frequency of hot flashes from 52 to 28 per week, which is a a 414% reduction. Fatigue, sweating, and distress were also significantly reduced.

The 29 participants in the study were breast cancer survivors, thus they were unable to take the usual hot flash medications that have estrogenic activity such as hormone replacement drugs or soy supplements. Many women, breast cancer survivors or not, prefer to take a non estrogen-active natural remedy for hot flashes and night sweats, and the researchers in the study concluded that magnesium appears to safely reduce hot flashes with few side effects and at minimal cost.

Magnesium has also been found to help other health conditions. According to Dr. Michael T. Murray, Doctor of Naturopathic Medicine, “In addition to helping with hot flashes, correction of low magnesium status may have additional health benefits. Magnesium deficiency is extremely common in Americans, and in addition to the well-known association between low magnesium and increased risk for cardiovascular disease, low magnesium levels have also been linked to an increase in Alzheimer’s disease, decreased muscle performance, insulin-resistance, and osteoporosis.”

One natural sleep aid that is beneficial for hot flashes and night sweats and is increasing in popularity among women in menopause is Sleep Minerals II from http://www.NutritionBreakthroughs.com. This natural sleep aid contains highly absorbable forms of calcium and magnesium, the best minerals for sleeplessness and insomnia, as well as for heart health, restless legs syndrome, bone strength, teenage insomnia and menopause insomnia. The formula also includes vitamin D and zinc and is delivered in a softgel form with healthy carrier oils, making it more quickly and fully assimilated than tablets or capsules and providing a deeper, longer-lasting sleep.

Anita L. of New Caney, Texas says: “I was having hot flashes every 30 minutes to an hour through the night and was so miserable. After about two weeks of taking the Sleep Minerals, I noticed an incredible difference with my sleep. I have much less interruption from flashes, I’m sleeping much better and I’m a lot more comfortable."

Valerie H. of Santa Clarita, California says: “I had such severe menopause insomnia it took me hours to fall asleep even though I was extremely tired. My legs also had crawling and tingling feelings at night. I got the Sleep Minerals and after several days, it started to work really well. I fall asleep now within 20 minutes and no more restless legs."

Natural menopause remedies are a healthier option for women with hot flashes, night sweats and insomnia. For more information on Sleep Minerals II visit http://www.nutritionbreakthroughs.com/html/sleep_remedy_for_insomnia_help.html

Waldorf Publishing is Excited to be Releasing the New Book "Inside the Godfather"

Waldorf Publishing is excited to be releasing the new book “Inside the Godfather”, Never Before Told Stories of James Brown by His Inner Circle. Written by: Daryl Brown, the son of James Brown and Michael P. Chabries. If you think you know the soul truth about James Brown, think again!

Grapevine, Texas, July 08, 2014 - “Inside the Godfather” is a history changing book, but most importantly Daryl Brown will set the record straight about his dad, James Brown, The Godfather of Soul! Stories that have NEVER been told such as: Did you know that James Brown, The Godfather of Soul was offered over ten million dollars to convert to a certain religion?

Daryl Brown believes that his dad…James Brown, his brother-in-law and his older brother Teddy were murdered.

Despite what Mick Jagger and the movie “Get on Up” would have you believe – James Brown never discharged a weapon during the insurance seminar prior to James Brown’s arrest ending him up in prison. Primary concern of James Brown was that he was being robbed.

Michael Jackson returned from exile in Bahrain to “play” with the body of James Brown while he was in the casket in a room at The Apollo, left alone for over 2 hours.

Susie Brown did not abandon James Brown as the movie “Get on Up” would have you believe. The relationship turned deadly with a murder attempt. Leaving the child was the only way to preserve both lives.

Black police officer Donald Danner believes James Brown was shot at by white police officers because of the color of his skin. 23 shots fired at the truck. Two shots hit the gas-tank in an effort to “lawfully” murder James Brown.

Tomi Rae was stopped by police for being married to a black monkey and the police told her they were going to kill James Brown. Overt racism and threat of “disappearing” or murder was a challenge for both Tomi Rae and Adrienne “James Brown’s 2 wives.”

The Inner Circle will include but not limited to: the Mistress, the Limo Driver, the Widow, the Bodyguard, Band Members, Personal Physician, an Arresting Officer and many more!

The book will be available August 1st, 2014 as a paperback, eBook and Audio book and will feature unique photos, some of which have never been seen. Pre-order your copy now!

We have partnered with VH1, Save The Music Foundation and The Fender Music Foundation and will be donating 5% of book proceeds to both Foundations.

The book will be released simultaneously with the Universal Studios biographical film “Get on Up” produced by Mick Jagger and Brian Grazer to be released in theatres on August 1st 2014.

In Daryl Brown’s own words: “How can Universal Studios distribute a movie about my dad without even talking to those that were closet to my dad including me?”

James Brown, The Godfather of Soul may be the most misunderstood man in the last century. His contributions toward modern music pale in comparison to the role he played in modern history. Brown lifted all races toward the ideals of equality and opportunity. Tragically, while he had the ability to calm the storms of social turmoil - his personal life was a perpetual tempest; sex, drugs, rhythm & blues.

Inside the Godfather brings together, for the first time, Brown’s inner circle. They will correct the distortions of the past and provide the reader a clear understanding of the brilliance and generosity that was James Brown. This book will have you question your assumptions about politics, religion, sports, money and the entire entertainment industry. You will see inside the man. You will never be the same.

The name, James Brown is an international Brand. His music is still being sold in over 110 countries. His face is certainly one of the most recognizable in the world. He is loved and adored by millions, but how many people really knew him?

Two hundred years from now when they mention James Brown, The Godfather of Soul, they will use this book to understand the person, the mind, the genius of one of the greatest entertainers of all time.

Waldorf Publishing: Was launched in 2013 by Barbara Terry. Barbara is a marketing and media expert with extensive experience in the Entertainment Industry. The first book published was by NASCAR great, Kenny Wallace.

Healthcare Transactions Lawyers and You

Many ASC practice owners approaching a healthcare transaction or deal maintain the idea that any general business attorney might do just fine for the task at hand.

Dallas, Texas, July 08, 2014 - Many ASC practice owners approaching a healthcare transaction or deal maintain the idea that any general business attorney might do just fine for the task at hand. However, after consulting attorneys and lawyers within the healthcare field, the writers at The Ambulatory M&A Advisor have a different opinion to present.

For healthcare transactions deals it is imperative for owners to add an experienced healthcare transactions lawyer to their team.

“The correct person is not just someone with health care experience; it’s someone with the right experience in that particular niche of healthcare law,” said Marissa Arreola, Partner at Strasburger & Price, LLP. “Healthcare law is so broad. The best healthcare attorneys have a fundamental understanding of relevant health care laws and regulations and can spot health care issues in a deal. The best health care attorneys also recognize that there are subject matter specialists who can best serve a client’s particular needs and ensure that the right lawyer for the job is assigned to each client matter.”

The full article published by The Advisor expands on the topic, outlining what exactly a healthcare transactions lawyer is and how one should go about finding the right such attorney.

What Investment Bankers Can do for You

When the owner of an ambulatory center makes the decision to sell a center, the process quickly escalates into perhaps the single largest financial transaction of their life.

Dallas, Texas, July 05, 2014 - When the owner of an ambulatory center makes the decision to sell a center, the process quickly escalates into perhaps the single largest financial transaction of their life. With so many moving parts involved and so much at stake, it is important for an owner to have someone on their side who can guide the sale in the right direction. That someone would be an investment banker.

Bringing to the table experience, a network of contacts and knowledge of the market, an investment banker is essential to these types of deals being executed successfully.

In an article published by The Ambulatory M&A Advisor, experts Roger Strode of Foley & Lardner, LLP, Blayne Rush, President of Ambulatory Alliances, LLC, Kyle Bohannon, Executive Vice President of Strategy and Development at FastMed Urgent Care, and Kevin Ryan of Epstein, Becker and Green weigh in on the matter.

“[Investment bankers] will help you understand your business as the investor sees it and work with you to be prepared to tell your story and explain any risks,” explained Rush. “When buyers or investors believe that you are prepared and understand your business, they are more likely to take you seriously, believe what you are telling them and increase the purchase price and improve the terms they offer.”

The Ambulatory M&A Advisor is an online publication that covers the most up-to-date trends and topics surrounding ambulatory care center deal making, including information on investment banking in the ambulatory care realm.

Pain Management In-Office Procedures Decline with Reimbursement Rates

The proper business management of an Pain Management Center will be the key to success going forward, according to industry professionals.

Dallas, Texas, July 05, 2014 - In an article published by The Ambulatory M&A Advisor, Dr. Rudi Gari of Texas Pain Relief Group weighs in on the matter, noting that physician-owners of Pain Management Centers need to keep the business side of their practice in mind, even if it doesn’t come second nature.

“Physicians are typically not the best business people,” Gari said. “You may be the best doctor the world has ever known, but if you don’t know how to manage your finances and manage your office, you’re not going to have an office to practice in.”

This emphasis on business is a result of declining reimbursement rates, according to Dr. Al Liceaga, Medical Director of Orangewood Surgical Center and Regional Pain Treatment Medical Center.

“ASCs reimbursement for procedures are often paid on only one CPT code and global fees now limit payment and reduce access to care by not allowing reimbursement for certain procedures within the global time period,” he said. “Reimbursement for hardware and implants has dramatically changed also. The majority of implants are now inclusive of the global fee.”

These changes in reimbursement rates had a noticeable impact on in-office procedures, with higher costs causing a reduction in such procedures.

A Look at Due Diligence in Ambulatory Care Center Transactions

With mergers and acquisitions (M&A) activity in ambulatory care increasing over the last year

Dallas, Texas, July 05, 2014 - With mergers and acquisitions (M&A) activity in ambulatory care increasing over the last year, the significance of doing the right due diligence for a practice cannot be over-emphasized.

In an article published on The Ambulatory M&A Advisor, healthcare attorneys and consultants give insight into the financial, legal and clinical aspects of due diligence and the best ways to approach each.

Experts Michael Schaff, attorney and chair of the Corporate & Health Care Departments at Wilentz, Goldman & Spitzer, Bill Horton, an Alabama-based partner and health care attorney with the Jones Walker law firm, and Roger Strode, a partner and health care attorney with the Chicago office of Foley & Lardner, LLP, all give advice for those seeking information about these areas of due diligence.

Schaff’s advice for potential sellers: “Before you negotiate a price, do appropriate due diligence on yourself so you are prepared for what the buyers will ask and you know where your ‘skeletons’ may be. Sometimes smaller companies don’t have the internal resources to dot every ‘i’ or cross every ‘t’. There are many potential traps for the unwary, and surprises pop up in the middle of the process” which can result in a buyer reducing his offered price.

Nutrition Breakthroughs Announces 'Joints and More' for Healthy Joints, Energy, More

According to the U.S. Census Bureau, arthritis is the #1 cause of disability among adults. The ingredients in 'Joints and More' have been proven to provide natural joint relief, relief for allergies, increased energy and more.

Glendale, CA, July 04, 2014 - An estimated 50 million U.S. adults (about 1 of 5) have doctor-diagnosed arthritis. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, arthritis is the #1 cause of disability among adults. It is defined as painful inflammation, aching, stiffness and swelling in or around the joints. Arthritis can occur in any joint, but usually it affects the hands, knees, hips, neck or spine. Common limitations from arthritis include difficulty with climbing stairs, walking, lifting, reaching, bending or kneeling.

NutritionBreakthroughs.com of Glendale California is announcing their newest product called 'Joints and More', which contains a natural form of sulfur known as MSM. According to research studies, MSM is known to help joint symptoms, muscle soreness, headaches, allergies, hair growth and more by supporting collagen in the cells and reducing inflammation. Collagen is the main protein in connective tissues. The body's hormones, enzymes and immune system also depend on MSM on a daily basis.

MSM sulfur (methyl-sulphonyl-methane) is a white, odorless, water-soluble element found in nature and in foods such as milk, fresh fruits, vegetables, seafood and meat. Food processing methods such as heating, washing and freezing, all deplete MSM in foods, which makes daily replenishment beneficial. Many people with joint pain may be deficient in MSM. In a 1995 study, sulfur concentration in arthritic cartilage was shown to be about one-third the level of normal cartilage.

The Arthritis Foundation’s web site lists the most common side effects of those medications used to treat arthritis. Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs such as aspirin and ibuprofen can create edema (swelling of the feet) heartburn, stomach ulcers and possibly increased risk of blood clots and heart attack. Corticosteroids (cortisone) may contribute to cataracts, elevated blood sugar levels, increased appetite and bone loss. Injections at the arthritis site can create redness and swelling and increased risk of infections.

In the breakthrough book called "The Miracle of MSM: The Natural Solution for Pain," Stanley Jacob, M.D., the co-discoverer and 'Father of MSM', and Ronald Lawrence, M.D., share their experiences with successfully treating people with MSM. Together they have treated over 12,000 people with MSM for a variety of conditions at the Oregon Health Sciences University in Portland Oregon.

Dr. Jacob says: "MSM is a surprising supplement. When you start taking it, you may notice a number of good things happening in your life in addition to pain and allergy relief: More energy, cosmetic benefits such as softer skin, thicker hair, stronger nails; decreased scar tissue; and relief of constipation.”

Ellen N. of Littleton, Colorado says: "I had developed painful arthritis in both knees. The orthopedist prescribed physical therapy, knee braces, ibuprofen daily and an eventual surgery. Someone I know who works for a nutritional supplement company offered me a sample of MSM. I started taking it, I began noticing improvement, and this continued. Soon I had the same spring back in my legs just like before all this started. I was feeling major relief. Now I'm walking faster and even climbed on my roof to trim some trees. I feel like a new woman."

In one research study, patients suffering from degenerative arthritis were treated with either 2,250 mg per day of MSM or placebo. Sixteen patients were enrolled in the study. With the MSM group, the researchers reported "A better than 80 percent control of pain within six weeks of beginning the study."

There is no known cure for arthritis. According to Dr. Stanley Jacob, "Steroidal drugs such as cortisone are widely prescribed to reduce the inflammation associated with a wide array of painful conditions. These frequently lead to unhealthy weight gain, high blood pressure and even diabetes.....MSM offers a natural way to reduce pain and inflammation without serious side effects."

Singer Songwriter and 6X Billboard Charting Artist Margo Rey Releases New Music Video for Inspirational Single “Colours”

“Colours” Currently #26 on Mediabase AC Chart; Added on Sirius XM “The Blend” Channel

Los Angeles, CA, July 03, 2014 – Billboard charting singer/songwriter Margo Rey has released an intimate new music video to accompany her latest moving single, “Colours,” her most personal and emotional song yet after major chart success at AC Radio with “Let The Rain,” “Between Us,” “Tempted,” and her Top 5 Holiday classic, “This Holiday Night,” Margo continues to climb the AC Radio charts. The video was directed by AlecZero and produced by StereoZzilla Productions.

Watch on Youtube or Vimeo

“Colours” takes you on a personal journey with moving lyrics written by Margo herself and music by Margo and Barrett Yeretsian. “I am not afraid, I know how to be brave, in the best and worst of days, my colours never fade, impossible they say…”

A simple yet empowering song that describes overcoming any obstacles and gaining confidence in yourself to not care about what or who may bring you down, “Colours” sends a message to encourage listeners to believe in themselves. In the minimal music video, we see Margo playing a grand piano in a studio belting out the meaningful lyrics.

Following her latest CD release, “Habit” and successfully battling breast cancer for a second time in 2013, Margo hasn’t stopped pursuing her music. Margo recently became the National Ambassador for non-profit organization Brides Against Breast Cancer providing her top 20 Billboard charting song, “Let The Rain”, co-written by legendary John Oates as their theme song.

The Indie Music Digest quotes, “Margo Rey’s musical/vocal style is cut from the cloth of Celine Dion, Bonnie Raitt and Shania Twain but I will add she can go toe to toe with any of them vocally."

Atlanta, GA, June 29, 2014 - The City of Atlanta was chosen to be the world’s hosting city for THE 2014 WORLD AIDS AWARENESS WEEKEND - Friday, November 28th through the 30th. The kick-off will be at the GEORGIA WORLD CONGRESS CENTER on November 28th. The WAAW is 3 days preceding World AIDS Day, which is globally recognized on December 1st. The purpose of the WORLD AIDS AWARENESS WEEKEND is to not just spread awareness and knowledge about HIV/AIDS, but to also generate educated solutions to end this malicious killer. Unfortunately, this year marks the 33rd year since the disease hit the scene and it’s more prevalent today than ever before. There have been significant milestones in care, but we have quite a ways to go before seeing signs of a generation where there are no new cases being reported. THE PHILANTHROPY CONCIERGE decided to bridge a gap that will allow organizations, individuals and companies to band together to bring THE WORLD AIDS AWARENESS WEEKEND to an International platform.

AHzii CONSULTING GROUP along with IMAGE MAKERS MEDIA GROUP have linked their expertise with the Philanthropy Concierge to support marketing endeavors as well as bring visibility to the WAAW platforms. The goals for the 2014 WAAW is to create an impact through various forms of teaching in hopes of provoking others to be more engaged and responsible while providing a platform for the masses to get tested and to know their status. THE PHILANTHROPY CONCIERGE is cleverly including live performances, contests, calls to action, celebrity and professional keynote speakers who will inspire others inspire others to stand up and talk about the impact of AIDS in their respective communities and circles of influence.

WHY According to the World Health Organization’s statistics, 36 million people have died of HIV/AIDS since the first reported incidences in 1981. Globally, 42 million people are currently living with the disease. Since 2012, 1.2 million people have died, and 2.3 million new cases have been reported across the globe. There are approximately 1.2 million people living with HIV/AIDS in the United States. Of those, approximately 240,000 are unaware of their HIV-positive status. To date, nearly 300,000 women are included in the horrific number of those afflicted. In spite of the headway being made, infection rates are increasing rapidly. African Americans, Gay and Bi-Sexual Men of all ethnicities and Latinos are the hardest-hit demographics.

WHO The WORLD AIDS AWARENESS WEEKEND (WAAW) is a collaborative effort comprised of global and civic leaders, front-line agencies and individuals who advocate for a HIV/AIDS-free world. Through our marketing efforts, over 500,000,000 people will be reached through Radio, TV and the World-Wide Web. We anticipate10, 000 attendees will participate in the activities, including 4,000 plus people who will get tested for the first time.

WHAT Three days of non-intrusive, non-discriminatory activities that have a commonality in which each event is structured to increase HIV/AIDS awareness, testing and counseling in support of promoting the behavioral modifications needed to move towards a world with zero newly reported HIV infections.
