Religious People Are Happier, Study Says

Canonsburg, PA (PRWEB) April 11, 2010

Researchers at Duke University suggest that people who practice some sort of religion are happier than those who don't. The new study reveals that religious people have more of a sense of purpose in their lives.

One person who can attest to the validity of these new findings is author David Beato. The premise of his new book, The Power of Prayer, Endurance and Truth, is the influential role that religion has played in his own life.

"As a practicing Catholic I find that my religion offers me security, connectedness, fulfillment, joy and direction," says Mr. Beato. "It has helped me to overcome some truly staggering obstacles and achieve more than anyone ever thought I would."

In his memoir, David Beato shares the tales of his poor upbringing in Italy during World War II and his struggle to make it as a successful businessman in America. During his life's journey Mr. Beato has faced many monumental tests of faith including the death of his beloved son, professional setbacks and deceptive family members.

A number of best-selling books underscore the connection between religious practice and happiness such as The Purpose Driven Life by Rick Warren or Become a Better You by Joel Osteen.

Many studies have concluded that religion positively influences people's lives and makes it better. According to the research published in Psychological Bulletin, along with being happier, devoutly religious people tend to:

Do better in schools
Be more organized
Live longer
Have stronger marriages
Raise well-behaved children
Maintain better self-control and self-discipline

"I believe religion is very important," says Mr. Beato, "especially in times like these, with all the issues we face--war, economic problems, political disagreements and so on. We need to have faith more than ever."

David Beato is currently a well-known real estate developer in southwestern Pennsylvania, where he lives with his wife. He has one son and two daughters who are all college educated and married, and his greatest joy is spending time with his children and grandchildren.

The Power of Prayer, Endurance and Truth by David Beato is available on Amazon.com and BarnesandNoble.com.

New Microsoft Office 2010 3D Case Study Brings eMazzanti Story to Life

Hoboken, NJ and New York City, NY (PRWEB) August 18, 2011

In the super hero entertainment world, 3D is old technology. Not so in the IT support universe where intergalactic prowess and vanquished computer foes are more rare. A new case study featuring eMazzanti Technologies and Microsoft Office 2010 is now available at: http://youtu.be/iKJKRV9j_dk. It uses new 3D videography to add more life to the story. A regular 2D version is also available.

Probably the first question on a viewers mind is: Why 3D? said Jennifer Mazzanti, president of eMazzanti Technologies. For starters, its a first as far as we know and we are the leaders in our market. Second, its fun and draws attention to the expertise we bring to solve customer problems.

To be sure, some of our clients do think of us as IT super-heroes when we quickly overcome their problems," Mazzanti modestly admits. We earn that image every day with each customer interaction!

Among the areas in most demand by eMazzanti customers are business continuity/disaster recovery and http:// managed print services. Business continuity insures customers not only dont lose critical data, but that their businesses can continue to operate during and after a disaster such as fire, water or theft.

Managed Print Services is a newer service from eMazzanti Technologies that helps small and medium size companies more efficiently manage network-wide printer maintenance and supplies. The new service also lowers the total cost of print ownership.

400 Customers, 10,000 Seats Strong

With over 400 small and medium size companies as part of its book-of-business, eMazzanti Technologies ranks as one of the premier computer and IT support experts in the Hoboken, New Jersey and the New York City metropolitan areas.

Collectively, our customers represent more than 10,000 seats or computers, said Mazzanti. You usually dont get to that level of service unless youre doing something right.

Office 2010 Flexes Its Muscle

The new 3D video features the latest power-house software suite from Microsoft, Office 2010 Professional as it brings together top-of-the-line tools to help eMazzanti stay organized, get connected, and competitive. It also delivers those same benefits to customers.

For that reason, Mazzanti feels very strongly about its relationship with Microsoft. The success of Microsoft is tied to the success of my business, and in turn, to the success of my customer, notes Mazzanti. And, Office plays a huge role in maintaining these critical relationships.

In addition to the 3D Office 2010 video, Microsoft also wanted to capture the eMazzanti Office story as a featured, written case study. In it, eMazzanti chronicles how Office 2010 Professional serves as the cornerstone of a best of breed approach for rapidly deployed, easy-to-use support solutions that spur repeat business and referrals. The case study can be seen or downloaded at: eMazzanti 3D Video Case Study.

One of the other major benefits Office 2010 delivers to our customers is through the Microsoft Software Assurance Program, notes Mazzanti. It makes the constant stream of updates affordable and a perfect fit for the eMazzanti eCare level of serviceour fixed-fee, network management service solution.

Making of a 3D Case Study

eMazzanti Technologies tapped the movie-making expertise of Galuppo Productions for the unique 3D approach to the case study.

When creating the 3D Microsoft Office 2010 videos with eMazzanti, we used some of the newest 3D technology available, claimed Erik Galuppo, president, Galuppo Productions. Taking advantage of the newer technology means being able to work with smaller budgets and production crews, work faster, and get higher quality results.

Planning the video required a lot of attention to the details according to Galuppo. When filming in 3D, there are many rules that must be followed to create a pleasing 3D video experience.

During this shoot we used a cutting-edge 3D camera which let us have many freedoms most current 3D cameras would not allow. For example, this camera was much smaller and lighter than other 3D cameras. We were able to move and set up new shots much faster, saving us time to capture even more footage.

The post production editing process was facilitated using a 3D video editing specialist to fine tune the 3D experience.

Galuppo continued: eMazzanti Technologies provided lots of great content that truly showcased their successful partnership with Microsoft.
