Odiogo"s Web 2.0 Service Enables The Popular Politico Website To Be "Listened To" On Mobile Phones, iPods And Computers.

(PRWEB) June 26, 2008

Arlington, Virginia and Jerusalem, Israel, June 26, 2008 – Politico, a top 20 newspaper website as ranked by Nielsen Online, announced today the availability of Odiogo’s Listen-Now and Podcast capabilities on http://www.politico.com. Politico has now provided its website visitors with an easy and instant way to hear text articles. With Odiogo’s technology, Politico readers can become listeners and consume their favorite content while multitasking or on the go.

Odiogo’s solution automatically converts internet articles into high fidelity audio files, enabling listening to internet news sites and blogs on PCs and portable devices. Politico now provides any situation access to its on-line content, enabling its community of readers to ‘listen to’ their favorite articles just as they would listen to a traditional radio program. Politico’s articles can be accessed on-the-go (eye free situation) and while multi-tasking, and Politico’s readers are no longer restricted in how and when to consume their favorite online text content. Odiogo also introduces accessibility improvement for foreign readers and the vision impaired community.

“Since the inception of our website, we have been embracing web 2.0 best of breed services,” said Roy Schwartz, VP of business development for Politico. “The Odiogo solution is a continuation of this trend as it allows us to create another layer of distribution to fit some of our users’ news consumption habits.”

“We are thrilled that Politico has chosen to enable its site with our technology,” said Marc Kawam, CEO of Odiogo. “We have continued to experience significant adoption of our solutions across a variety of web and blogger sites, and the addition of Politico further confirms that website visitors are looking for alternative ways to consume content, ways that are more compatible with their mobile and busy lifestyles.”

Computers, Health and Dry Eye Education

Grants Pass, OR (PRWEB) October 31, 2011

Bio Logic Aqua Research would like to announce new education on computers, health and dry eyes, courtesy of the Sharon Kleyne Hour Power of Water.

Computers may not be safe.

Sharon Kleyne, water advocate, entrepreneur and radio talk show host, interviewed author and computer health education advocate Adetutu Ijose on the Sharon Kleyne Hour Power of Water, November 9, 2009.

Adetutu became a spokesperson and educator for the health risks of computers while working in Information Technology. She assuming her computer was safe but discovered that this was not necessarily the case when she developed serious health problems involving her eyes, chronic fatigue and computer eye strain. She was forced to determine for herself that they were computer related.

The light from a computer screen.

Working at a computer, according to Adetutu, is not natural and is very different from working at a typewriter. Although the computer screen is intensely bright, your eyes and brain do not recognize this as sunlight. It’s like staring directly into the sun and not realizing you’re doing it.

Also, because you are engaged in an intense activity, your eyes’ reflexive blink rate can drop from an average of 30 times a minute to five times a minute. The blink rate drop exposes the eye to increased tear moisture evaporation that could lead to dry eye, eye fatigue and computer eye strain.

Computers and body defenses.

The human body, Adetutu explains, contains trillions of cells each programmed to behave in a certain way. They have a “script” and “repair kit” for anything that goes wrong. The role of doctors is to stimulate this self-healing ability. When you perform an activity new to your body’s experience, you may be nearly defenseless.

Sharon Kleyne agreed, observing that no two people are alike and that some people cannot use computers. Dry eye, carpal tunnel syndrome, depression, weight gain and orthopedic problems are commonly experienced by individuals using a computer more than three hours a day. The lost productivity amounts to about $ 50 billion a year.

Many of these symptoms take a long time to manifest.

Computer eye strain.

Adetutu’s primary symptoms were fatigue and stress, attributed to burnout and not suspecting her computer. When she finally determined the source, she worked out a series of prevention measures enabling her to return to work. .

Computers and stress.

The body’s neurotransmitters (chemicals at the end of nerve cells that transmit messages to individual cells) are heavily involved in communication between the eyes, brain and body. Neurotransmitters are. either “excitatory” or “inhibitory” and include epinephrine, histamine, dopamine, serotonin and GABA (y-aminobutyric acid). Stimulating the wrong neurotransmitters, among other things, can cause severe depression.

Sharon noted that the eyes are closely linked to the brain, the brain is 80% water and the eye’s tear film is 99% water.

Proactive eye health information.

Adetutu concluded that a small screen is worse than a large screen and a flat panel screen is better than a cathode ray tube. She recommends drinking eight to ten glasses of water a day and keeping a window opened to increase humidity. She also recommends frequent breaks and wet cotton balls on the eyes. Sharon suggests eating dark green leafy vegetables and foods with omega-3 fatty acids to strengthen eyes and prevent dry eye. She also recommends Nature’s Tears

Sharon Kleyne Hour Power of Water Interviews Adetutu Ijose Vital Information about Computers, Health and Computer Eye Strain

Grants Pass, OR (PRWEB) January 05, 2012

Sharon Kleyne, host of the Sharon Kleyne Hour Power of Water syndicated radio talk show, recently interviewed Adetutu Ijose, of SOG Consultants, about computer eye strain, computer related health issues and proactive steps to avoid computer health problems.

Adetutu Ijose has 20 years experience in computers and information technology and suffered a life-threatening illness as a direct result of her computer use. She is a prolific writer, with provocative titles such as Eyes, Vision and Computer Use; Computer Related Health Conditions; Cyber Bullying; Computer Use Addiction and Withdrawal; Global Epidemic: Human Abuse of the Computer; Allergies, Asthma and Computers; and Computer Induced Stress.

The interview may be heard on-demand on World Talk Radio, Voice America, Green Talk Network, Apple iTunes and Twitter.

Sharon Kleyne and Adetutu agree that computer use can lead to numerous physical problems, many involving the eyes and tear film. Insulated walls and windows, and fluorescent lighting can also cause health and dry eye problems. Symptoms include dry eye, headaches, sore shoulders and stress. Sharon noted that there are hazards in many professions, such as harvesting in a field or piloting an airplane, and you should always be proactive in protecting yourself.

Adetutu explained that in her case, computer eye strain and dry eye led to numerous other health problems that eventually became life-threatening. Doctors could not correctly diagnose the problem until they were able to trace it back to dry eye and computer use. Adetutu believes that because computer use is unnatural to the human body, especially the eyes, one symptom can set up a chain of symptoms resulting in a health breakdown.

Computer eye strain and dry eye symptoms can begin after only two hours on the computer. If you already have dry eye due to another cause (as 50% of the population does), the chances of developing computer eye strain are even higher. Adetutu notes that 53 million people in the US use PC’s, either for work, personal use or both, and 35 million use the Internet. She adds that video games, TV, Nook and Kindle, and iPhones and iPads also cause computer eye strain because they all involve looking at a screen.

Sharon observed that carpal tunnel syndrome, weight gain, lack of exercise, poor sleep and stress can also be caused by computer use. If you drink sugared drinks instead of water, the effects are magnified.

Adetutu recommends that the computer environment be as natural as possible with some outdoor air. Computer use drastically reduces they eye’s reflexive blink rate (because eyes do not recognize light from the computer screen as bright). You need to make a conscious effort to blink, take frequent breaks, and keep your face and eyes humidified (less blinking results in greater tear film evaporation).

There was a discussion of neurotransmitters, a group of chemicals that enable the transmission of nerve signals (either excitatory or inhibitory). Normal light, according to Adetutu, simulates neurotransmitter activity and thus, normal body functioning. Computer light does not stimulate neurotransmitter activity and tends to deplete the body’s neurotransmitters.

Computer use by children, with their developing brains, should be carefully monitored. If you child uses a computer, pay extra attention to their growth and development, especially their vision. Regular eye exams are critical. Also, make sure they drink enough water and limit their sugar intake.

Adetutu recommends washing the face in the morning because moist, healthy skin transmits light better. She recommends preventing or alleviating dry eye by humidifying the skin around the eyes with water that is pH balanced and biocompatible with the skin’s natural pH, which is slightly acidic (5.5 to 6.5).

Ms. Ijose praised Nature’s Tears EyeMist as the only available natural water mist for the eyes and the only available dry eye product with the correct, skin compatible pH balance (6.49). Sharon reiterated the importance of supplemental eye humidity when working at a computer, noting that even the humidity in the air can become polluted and that personal, hand-held humidifying devices for eyes and skin are increasingly important to proactive health.
