Abstract: A method of automatically reminding an attendee of an appointment and a system implementing the method are disclosed. The method includes one or more computers implementing: obtaining an appointment reference from a registrant, predicting the likely behavior of the attendee, transmitting at least one reminder to the attendee based on the predicted likely behavior of the attendee, receiving a response from the attendee; and notifying the registrant of the response received from the attendee. The likely behavior of the attendee is based on at least one of past behavior and compiled demographic behavior.

Abstract: An exercise device includes a pair of handles with elongated shafts operatively interconnected for rotation along coaxial longitudinal axes. Each shaft has a hand grip at the distal ends to permit a consumer to grip the handle and rotate the handles in opposite directions along their longitudinal axes. Diametric posts project orthogonal from the proximal ends of the shafts and pairs of adjacent posts have an elastic band looped around the posts to resist rotational movement of the shafts.
