An inability to accept compliments is first and foremost a lack of self-acceptance.

[Some] people think so very little of themselves, that they rebuff any form of admiration, sometimes vehemently so, because they feel entirely undeserving.

MONTREAL (PRWEB)
February 22, 2020

Although many people thrive on praise, not everyone welcomes it. Modesty aside, a study conducted by Queendom.com reveals that some people who dismiss compliments struggle with their sense of self-worth, are more pessimistic, and are less happy.

Analyzing data from 9,568 who took the Emotional Intelligence Test, Queendom researchers focused on two distinct groups: People who receive compliments graciously (compliment-acceptors), and those who tend to turn them aside (compliment-deflectors). Here’s how they differ on different EQ competencies:

(Note: Competency scores can range on a scale from 0 to 100)

SELF-ESTEEM

• Score for compliment-acceptors: 83
• Score for compliment-deflectors: 42

People are more inclined to rebuff compliments if they have a poor sense of self-worth. This is likely because they are unable to recognize their value and the qualities that make them special. As a result, they feel undeserving of adulation. Compliments create cognitive dissonance, which makes compliment-deflectors uncomfortable. They may also doubt the sincerity of the compliment and fear that it’s a form of covert mockery, so in their mind, the safest response is to deflect. They may also struggle with Impostor Syndrome and self-doubt, even if there is abundant evidence of their competence.

SELF-AWARENESS

• Score for compliment-acceptors: 73
• Score for compliment-deflectors: 54

Along the same lines as self-esteem, people who lack self-awareness often fail to recognize their assets, which may in turn make them more dismissive of compliments in which their strengths and accomplishments are praised.

UNHEALTHY RUMINATION

• Score for compliment-acceptors: 36
• Score for compliment-deflectors: 66

People who dismiss praise have a greater tendency to ruminate than those who don’t. Ruminators tend to replay situations, interactions or problems over and over in their mind, and wallow in negative thinking and emotions. Consequently, they may pick compliments apart in an attempt to uncover the “hidden agenda” (to get on their good side, to “butter them up,” or to secretly mock them). Their propensity to ruminate may also induce selective attention, in which they focus almost exclusively on perceived insults, and completely overlook compliments.

CONTENTMENT

• Score for compliment-acceptors: 72
• Score for compliment-deflectors: 45

Although the dismissive group’s general dissatisfaction with life is likely a result of a number of factors, their inability to see their value – and tendency to reject compliments a result – also plays a role.

POSITIVE MINDSET

• Score for compliment-acceptors: 74
• Score for compliment-deflectors: 49

People who dismiss compliments are more likely to be pessimists. They are unable to see the good in others, in the world, and, most importantly, in themselves.

NEED FOR APPROVAL

• Score for compliment-acceptors: 28
• Score for compliment-deflectors: 45

In spite of their tendency to renounce praise, people who find it difficult to accept compliments still crave some degree of acknowledgement and appreciation, even if the boost it gives to their fragile self-esteem is short-lived.

“In one corner, you have the arrogant person who fishes for compliments and laps up praise in order to feed his or her insatiable ego. In another corner you have the humble-bragger, who willfully debases himself/herself in an effort to induce others to jump in and fervently disagree. Then you have the modest person who will acknowledge a compliment, but won’t let it get to his or her head. These are the ‘personalities’ we are most familiar with,” explains Dr. Jerabek, president of PsychTests, the parent company of Queendom. “There’s a fourth personality type, however: The people who think so very little of themselves, that they rebuff any form of admiration, sometimes vehemently so, because they feel entirely undeserving. Low self-esteem is a major contributing factor, but as our study has revealed, there are other issues at play. People who find it difficult to accept compliments not only fail to see their worth, they also seem to cast aside any form of joy and happiness. This is why, as a mental health professional, I am such strong a proponent of practicing self-love and empowerment – because a lack of it can do so much emotional, psychological, social, and even physical damage. Love yourself first – then everything else will fall into place.”

MIAMI LAKES, Fla. (PRWEB)
February 21, 2020

Representatives with Bay-Bay Water today announced that the company has launched a new logo.

“We are proud to announce the launch of Bay-Bay Water’s new company logo as part of the ongoing evolution of our company’s brand,” said Osmay Gonzalez, spokesperson of the company.

These logo redesign come at a time when the company is expanding its national reach.

“We have refreshed our logo to reflect who we are today and to symbolize our future,” stressed Osmay, “Our new logo better reflects our business and clearly demonstrates the quality of the product we bring to our customers across the nation.”

“Distilled water is the purest form of drinking water on the planet,” said Osmay before adding, “The purifying process occurs by boiling water into vapor and condensing it back into a liquid form. It is recommended for parents to use distilled water when mixing baby formula and cereals, to avoid an unhealthy intake of minerals. Since life is constantly in motion, our distilled water is designed for easy, on the go use.”

“To ensure we provide you with the best distilled water for baby formula, our quality control checks are extremely thorough,” said Osmay. “Filter inspections and change-outs are on a strict schedule. Ozone levels are checked every hour. Daily and hourly records of ozone levels and filter changes are mandatory.”

Osmay went on to explain that at its production facility, the single service bottles arrive wrapped in cling film. Before the pallets of bottles leave the truck, he said, they are visually inspected to ensure no cross-contamination of any kind has taken place during transport. The pallets are stored in a secure area. Before each bottle is filled, it enters an enclosed chamber to receive a sanitizing ozone rinse. The purified water used to fill the bottles passes through a UV filter. Bottles are capped in the filler station, not sent open to the next stage of production.

The product is available in 12 and 24-bottle packs of BPA-free and phosphate-free bottles.

“For the best bottled water for babies on the go, we only use BPA-free and Phosphate-free #1 PETE (Polyethylene Terephthalate) bottles,” highlighted Osmay and went on to add, “our filtered and distilled water is subject to rigorous safety and quality control tests every step of the way, ensuring that you always get the safest, cleanest, purest bottled water for babies.”

Each bottle is 16.9 ounces, and the 24-bottle pack has a lower per bottle price than the 12-bottle pack.

As to why anyone should give Bay-Bay Water a try, Osmay said that its distilling process is carefully monitored and far above average.

“First the water is softened, then it passes through a 1-micron filter to screen out any microscopic impurities,” Osmay said. “Only filtered water enters the distiller, and following the distilling process, it is stored in temperature-controlled silos until it is ready for ozone treatment and packaging. Typically, water is purified by one of three processes: reverse osmosis, distillation, and de-ionization. Bay-Bay relies on the distillation process, which involved boiling, condensing, and steaming to provide the purest result.”

Digital Twin

Coordinating interdependencies within and across digital business transformation initiatives is challenging yet key to success. A digital twin of an organization helps enterprise architecture and technology innovation leaders prioritize, guide, plan, monitor, analyze and scale complex initiatives.

MONTREAL (PRWEB)
February 21, 2020

Interfacing is proud to announce the Interfacing Enterprise Process Center® (EPC) was assed and again listed as a leading Digital Twin of an Organization (DTO) by Gartner. Interfacing’s EPC provides a data intelligence based virtual representation of a business to help evaluate the impact of internal & external changes.

A Digital Twin of an Organization is a digitized dynamic representation of any company’s physical assets. The DTO describes all assets that fall within the domain of an organization. This includes an organization’s processes, technologies, infrastructure (and its architecture), business capabilities, all customer interactions, strategies, products, services, roles, responsibilities and distribution channels. In digital form, this business context can be connected, reported upon and presented in easily understood visual format. DTO helps business leaders assess transformational change and its impact within a controlled environment.

Gartner identified three Key Findings in their 2019 Market Guide for Technologies Supporting a DTO Report:

• Most organizations find it difficult to adapt to moving strategic and operational targets.
• Without some sort of a “navigator,” the risk of failure in scaling digital business transformation initiatives increases dramatically as the scope and pace of the digital business initiative expand.
• Today, an abundance of data coming from anywhere is impacting digital transformation and optimization initiatives. The amount of data produced must be organized and filtered according to business needs and operations.

Scott Armstrong, Managing Partner with Interfacing Technologies, describes Interfacings solution supporting DTO. “Interfacing’s user-friendly platform is the only Digital Twin to also satisfy all regulatory compliance (FDA, FAA, GDPR, ISO, etc.) requirements and data governance needs. Interfacing’s unique text recognition data parsing tool automatically converts your physical files (Standard Operating Procedures, Policies, Regulations, etc.) into data objects then automatically generates intelligence based graph models to improve impact analysis and ongoing change management and communication.”

Interfacing’s EPC offers a digital management platform for businesses to capture, manage and visualize all business artifacts within a single integrated repository. EPC provides centralized management capabilities through the combination of its core architectural holistic views of all objects, their complex interdependencies, impact analyses and day-to-day monitoring.

EPC satisfies all highly regulatory requirements (e.g. 21 CFR Part 11 digital signature compliance) and includes functionality to expand SOPs to any level, providing a rich-text form (including images and videos) of the processes in an easy-to-read, online digital media format.

“Coordinating interdependencies within and across digital business transformation initiatives is challenging yet key to success. A digital twin of an organization helps enterprise architecture and technology innovation leaders prioritize, guide, plan, monitor, analyze and scale complex initiatives.” – Gartner®

Armstrong included, “Interfacing’s solution is cutting edge; cloud based, extremely secure, highly scalable, and mobile ready. Interfacing is also ISO 27001 certified, meaning we invest heavily in penetration and vulnerability testing as well as well controlled security processes to ensure our customers’ data stays protected! We continue to innovate the domain by utilizing the latest tech trends such as AI [Artificial Intelligence] to drive additional business value for our customers while reducing time, effort and cost.”

For more than 25 years, Interfacing has been a transformation leader in process improvement software; developing one of the first centralized web-based collaboration tools to document, model, manage, simulate, analyze, integrate and automate processes. Interfacing maintains a major focus on the digital business, and customer experience use cases, followed by the enterprise performance use case. Coming from an EBPA/strategy to execution background, Interfacing has a strong focus on the organizational business modeling and the performance management components.

“This designation recognizes Dr. V. Wally Mardovin as a UroLift Center of Excellence for his commitment to providing safe and effective treatment to patients with BPH,” said Dave Amerson

PLEASANTON, Calif. (PRWEB)
February 21, 2020

NeoTract, a wholly owned subsidiary of Teleflex Incorporated (NYSE:TFX) focused on addressing unmet needs in the field of urology, today announced that V. Wally Mardovin, MD, Urology Specialists of Ohio in Springfield, OH, has been designated as a UroLift® Center of Excellence. The designation recognizes that Dr. Mardovin has achieved a high level of training and experience with the UroLift® System and demonstrated a commitment to exemplary care for men suffering from symptoms associated with Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH), also known as enlarged prostate.

Recommended for the treatment of BPH in both the American Urological Association and European Association of Urology clinical guidelines, the FDA-cleared Prostatic Urethral Lift procedure using the UroLift System is a proven, minimally invasive technology for treating lower urinary tract symptoms due to BPH. The UroLift permanent implants, delivered during a transurethral outpatient procedure, relieve prostate obstruction and open the urethra directly without cutting, heating, or removing prostate tissue.

The UroLift Center of Excellence program is designed to highlight urologists who are committed to educating their patients on BPH and the UroLift System as a treatment option and consistently seek to deliver excellent patient outcomes and experiences.

“This designation recognizes Dr. V. Wally Mardovin as a UroLift Center of Excellence for his commitment to providing safe and effective treatment to patients with BPH,” said Dave Amerson, president of the Teleflex Interventional Urology business unit. “We are pleased to see the continued acceptance of the UroLift System as a standard of care treatment that may allow men to discontinue the use of BPH medications and improve their quality of life.”

Over 40 million men in the United States are affected by BPH, a condition that occurs when the prostate gland that surrounds the male urethra becomes enlarged with advancing age and begins to obstruct the urinary system. Symptoms of BPH often include interrupted sleep and urinary problems and can cause loss of productivity, depression and decreased quality of life.

Medication is often the first-line therapy for enlarged prostate, but relief can be inadequate and temporary. Side effects of medication treatment can include sexual dysfunction, dizziness and headaches, prompting many patients to quit using the drugs. For these patients, the classic alternative is surgery that cuts, heats or removes prostate tissue to open the blocked urethra. While current surgical options can be very effective in relieving symptoms, they can also leave patients with permanent side effects such as urinary incontinence, erectile dysfunction, and retrograde ejaculation.

About the UroLift® System

The FDA-cleared UroLift System is a proven, minimally invasive technology for treating lower urinary tract symptoms due to benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). The UroLift permanent implants, delivered during a minimally invasive transurethral outpatient procedure, relieve prostate obstruction and open the urethra directly without cutting, heating, or removing prostate tissue. Clinical data from a pivotal 206-patient randomized controlled study showed that patients with enlarged prostate receiving UroLift implants reported rapid and durable symptomatic and urinary flow rate improvement without compromising sexual function*1,2. Patients also experienced a significant improvement in quality of life. Over 100,000 men have been treated with the UroLift System in the U.S. Most common adverse events reported include hematuria, dysuria, micturition urgency, pelvic pain, and urge incontinence. Most symptoms were mild to moderate in severity and resolved within two to four weeks after the procedure. The Prostatic Urethral Lift procedure using the UroLift System is recommended for the treatment of BPH in both the American Urological Association and European Association of Urology clinical guidelines. The UroLift System is available in the U.S., Europe, Australia, Canada, Mexico and South Korea. Learn more at http://www.UroLift.com.
