Pittsburgh, PA (PRWEB) May 31, 2013

Health2Go, an innovative vending machine company, will showcase its healthy snack and small meal options at the upcoming Healthiest Employers of Western PA & Wellness Expo 2013 as part of an ongoing effort to positively influence eating habits in the workplace.

Healthy Vending Consultant, Amanda Dukovich, says that the upcoming Expo is an opportunity to introduce Pittsburghs employers to a new, healthier option in snack vending. Vending machines are everywhere, she says, and the snacks can be healthy. By placing healthier choices in high-traffic areas, we can immediately, and positively, impact eating habits.

The company recently hosted a tasting event at a local business center, where employees sampled many of the healthy snacks and beverages available in Health2Go vending machines. Most everyone consumes over half of their daily calories while at work, and its time for healthier snacks and small meal options to be conveniently available, Amanda says. Our goal is to make it easier for people to make healthier choices. And through sampling events, they learn that nutritious can equal delicious!

For Amanda, Health2Go is about improving lives and helping businesses reduce employee health insurance costs while increasing productivity. Our vending machines help support corporate wellness programs. Healthier employees are more productive and save companies money on healthcare costs. But the biggest benefit, Amanda says, is improved quality of life. When you’re making healthy food choices, you just feel better!

Health2Go will be an exhibitor at the Healthiest Employers of Western PA & Wellness Expo hosted by the Omni William Penn Hotel in Downtown Pittsburgh, June 13th.

Just looking for a list of the best places to booze on the cheap in Philly.

If you want cheap and unique, try “Tattooed Mom’s” on South St. and 6th? St or “Sugar Mom’s” on Church Street which is near 2nd and Market. They have cheap drinks and a great atmosphere.

How far is the Liberty Bell from the airport in Philly?

Question by aloha.girl59: How far is the Liberty Bell from the airport in Philly?
My 7 year old and I have a 3+ hour layover in Philadelphia next week. If it’s not too far away, I’d like to leave the airport and take a cab to the Liberty Bell. Neither of us has ever seen it and I think it would be neat to see it in person. How long would it take to get there from the airport and do you think I’ll have enough time to get back through security and everything before catching our flight overseas?
Thanks!

Best answer:

Answer by conshy3
Well, it depends on the time of day.

During non-rush hour, you should be able to take a cab to the Liberty Bell in about a half an hour. Once you get there, it is possible the bell itself will have line.

While the Philly airport is usually delayed with flights and baggage claim, their security entrance usually runs pretty smooth.

If you have a 3.5 hour layover, you should be ok, but I certainly wouldn’t take your time.

Tigers on a Plane Arrive at Oakland Zoo

Leave a reply


Oakland, CA (PRWEB) October 19, 2011

The fall forecast at Oakland Zoo is stripes. Four tiger sisters make their debut. Oakland Zoo welcomes Molly, Milou, Grace, and Ginger. The tigers have been in quarantine for several weeks, which is a standard protocol at the Oakland Zoo, to make sure the animals are healthy and acclimated to their new surroundings before making a public appearance.

HOW DID THE TIGERS END UP IN OAKLAND?

A Texas couple hand-raised the girls from birth and supplemented their income by using the cute kittens as money makers with the public. Their marriage ended in divorce, the cats were awarded to the wife, but she did not have a place to keep them. Her ex-husband found the four adult tigers to be too expensive to support and was faced with the decision of either putting the cats down or giving them away. The Gladys Porter Zoo and USDA (United States Department of Agriculture) stepped in to find the cats a new home. For four years, the Gladys Porter Zoo cared for the animals and vowed not to split up the four females. However, the zoos tiger capacity soon reached its limit with ten tigers residing in the facility. Oakland Zoo found out about the predicament and decided to take all four cats. This was really an act of compassion. We heard about these tigers and felt we could give them a good home, said Dr. Parrott, Executive Director of Oakland Zoo.

TIGER TRANSPORT: TIGERS ON A PLANE

On Tuesday, September 6, 2011 the tiger transport journey began. Four Oakland Zoo staffers flew to Brownsville, Texas to meet tigers: Molly, Milou, Grace, and Ginger. The 300 pound tigers were loaded into crates borrowed from Animal Defenders International on the evening of September 7, 2011 and transported via truck and van from Brownsville, Texas to the Alliance airport in Fort Worth, Texas on Thursday, September 8, 2011. FedEx generously donated the flight fees for the four tigers and three Oakland Zoo staffers. None of this would have been possible without the generous gift of flight from the FedEx Express operation. We are very grateful, said Nancy Filippi, Managing Director, Operations and Marketing for Oakland Zoo.

FedEx moves hundreds of thousands of shipments through our Oakland hub each day, and theyre all important to us and to our customers. But this one was extra special, said Robin Van Galder, managing director, FedEx Express Oakland Hub. Weve helped rescue endangered animals of many species around the world over the years. FedEx is especially proud of the part we played in rescuing these tigers and bringing them to their new home in a city where weve been a major employer for more than 30 years.

Before daylight on Friday, September 9, 2011, the tigers and staff arrived safely at the FedEx terminal in Oakland. However, that was not the end of the trip. For several hours, FedEx employees and Oakland Zoo animal keepers carefully forklifted the tiger crates onto a truck, strapped down the containers, and trucked the tigers two at a time to the Oakland Zoo. Each tiger was then introduced to their night house. It was a delicate process that involved strict safety measures, patience, and lots of logistics.

For the past several weeks, aside from becoming familiar with their new zoo keepers, the four females have been getting acquainted with new digs: a night house, outdoor yard, and holding area. The four sisters love the taste of goats milk, which keepers spray into their mouths. Rubbing on objects spritzed in Calvin Kleins Obsession perfume is also a pastime; its a scent the tigers seem thrilled to wear. We are very happy to be able to provide the tiger sisters with their forever home, said Colleen Kinzley, Oakland Zoo Director of Animal Care, Conservation and Research. It brings us great joy to see the tigers enjoying environmental enrichments like goats milk treats, exploring scents, and playing with their tiger size toys. Caring for captive wildlife is not just about providing them with a spacious, complex, environment; it is also about providing stimulation and variety through enrichment and husbandry training. We appreciate all of the people involved in bringing these tigers to the Oakland Zoo.

GENERIC TIGERS IN TEXAS

Since generic tigers are legal in the Lone Star state, some estimate that more tigers live in Texas than in the wild. Generic tigers are tigers that are not purebred; oftentimes, the bloodlines have been crossed or inbred with multiple breeds of tiger. Because of the cost and danger associated with adult tigers, many zoos and rescue organizations in Texas are faced with endless calls about unwanted big cats. The tigers are cute as cubs; however, as they grow into adulthood, they eat around ten pounds of meat per day, which is an expense many people realize they cannot afford, said zoo officials at the Gladys Porter Zoo. Veterinary care is also a challenge because most vets do not carry insurance to treat big cats. The once cuddly kitten that seemed like a great idea grows into a wild animal that can become unpredictable.
