Advancing Medical Technology from Space

Advancing Medical Technology from Space

Many giant leaps for mankind through thousands of NASA innovations. The Coalition for Space Exploration, the leading collaboration of space industry businesses and advocacy groups, announced today the release of a statement by board member Dr. Bernard Harris Jr., who was the first African American to walk in space and served as a mission specialist and payload commander on two Space Shuttle flights. Dr. Harris comments on the role of medical research in space and the importance of NASA, Cognress and the International Space Station (ISS) in realizing these medical breakthroughs.

Houston, TX (PRWEB) September 24, 2008

The Coalition for Space Exploration, the leading collaboration of space industry businesses and advocacy groups, announced today the release of a statement by board member Dr. Bernard Harris Jr., who was the first African American to walk in space and served as a mission specialist and payload commander on two Space Shuttle flights.

In recent editorials to newspapers, Harris highlights the role of medical research in space, commenting that "few may realize that a truly 'bright light' for medical research can already be viewed in Earth orbit - the International Space Station (ISS). The launch of the first ISS element took place some 10 years ago. Today, the ISS is an orbiting facility with unparalleled microgravity research capability, able to do investigative tasks that cannot be done on Earth.

"Research conducted in the microgravity of space is seen as a promising window into drug treatments for such crippling afflictions as diabetes, Parkinson's, Alzheimer's, pancreatic cancer, cystic fibrosis and hemophilia."

Harris went on to comment, "NASA and Congress realize these benefits and are now partnered to make use of the United States segment of the ISS as a national laboratory. Research done onboard this orbiting outpost will open new paths for the exploration and economic development of space.

"Already in place is a memorandum of understanding between NASA and the National Institutes of Health (NIH) - the first agreement between the space agency and another U. S. federal agency for use of the station as a national lab."

Harris concluded, "While the benefits of space exploration extend beyond the medical arena, the breakthroughs in medicine and healthcare cannot go unnoticed or undervalued. Imagine what the next 50 years of innovation and pioneering discovery can bring, particularly onboard the ISS. This robust commitment assures that our country will continue its decades-long bond between our nation's space program and medical research…one that has yielded life-saving benefits."

New Website Provides a Non-insurance Approach to Reducing Health Care Coverage

ASI's premier savings plan provides medical savings benefits for people with no health insurance coverage, people who cannot qualify for health insurance coverage because of pre-existing conditions such as pregnancy, diabetes, heart disease, stroke, cancer and any elective or cosmetic procedures; or simply people who cannot afford health insurance coverage; by offering individuals and families with access to a network of doctors, dentists, and hospitals that provide health services at a discounted rate. ASI's premier saving plan will also work well as a supplement for someone that already has health insurance coverage.

Houston, TX (PRWEB) May 1, 2008

ASI (http://www. asihealthcare. com/website/257783) - Affordable Service Incorporated announces the launch of its non insurance healthcare coverage website that would provide an alternative solution to the astounding problem of skyrocketing insurance costs by offering individuals and families with access to a network of doctors, dentists, and hospitals that provide health services at a discounted rate.

"We decided to take our services online in other to provide medical savings benefits for all Americans with no health insurance coverage, people who cannot qualify for health insurance coverage because of pre-existing conditions such as pregnancy, diabetes, heart disease, stroke, cancer and any elective or cosmetic procedures; or simply people who cannot afford health insurance coverage; by offering individuals and families with access to a network of doctors, dentists, and hospitals that provide health services at a discounted rate," Towolawi said.

According to the United States Department of Health and Human Services, more Americans are finding it difficult to get health insurance coverage. The reason for this healthcare crisis is because of the high insurance premium that is making health coverage unobtainable to many American.

In view of this development, ASI's has developed a premier health care savings plan that would provide solutions to the high insurance cost by offering people with no health insurance coverage, people who cannot qualify for health insurance coverage because of pre-existing conditions such as pregnancy, diabetes, heart disease, stroke, cancer and any elective or cosmetic procedures; or simply people who cannot afford health insurance coverage with access to a network of doctors, dentists, and hospitals that provide health services at a discounted rate.

ASI's Premier Health care Savings Plan provides a unique health savings benefits that comes with six health benefits, two policies and one members-only benefit.

GoVios is not a part of ASI but is an independent cell phone company that provides service to ASI members and the general public alike.

With health insurance going out of the reach of many Americans, Towolawi realized that there is the need to develop a non insurance approach to get health care coverage to many American who are uninsured. Towolawi, believe that ASI's premier Health Care savings plan will afford individuals and families the much needed health services at a discounted rate.

New Mold Process Used To Treat Hurricane Damaged Homes

New Mold Process Used To Treat Hurricane Damaged Homes

Non-Evasive Process Uses No Chemicals to Kill Mold

(PRWEB) March 30, 2005

North Captiva Island, Florida was a quiet tropical Island paradise prior to the devastating effects of two hurricane hits only weeks apart. Over two months after the last hurricane, power was still not restored to the Island. Hurricane related water damage and the hot, humid tropical environment created unhealthy conditions in a number of homes. A new process that kills mold, bacteria and viral hazards without chemicals is being used to disinfect these homes. The process utilizes clean, dry, odorless heat to disinfect buildings in much the same way heat is used to pasteurize milk and to kill bacteria in wine.

SFCS Environmental, Inc., a Fort Lauderdale, Florida based mold remediation Contractor is responsible for bringing this exciting new technology to Florida. The process, ThermaPureHeat™ won the Best New Product in the nation by The Society of Professional Engineers. Over 20,000 projects have been completed with this process including the Capitol Building in Sacramento and numerous schools throughout California. Jerry Gillman, president of SFCS Environmental stated,” The ThermaPureHeat™ process has been effectively used in California with great success, however the process is relatively unknown in Florida.

Florida, with its high humidity levels is the ideal environment for mold related issues. With traditional mold remediation methods, the cost for remediation of a 2000 square foot structure averages over $40,000. If that isn’t bad enough, occupants can be displaced for weeks or even months while traditional methods are completed. Our process can be completed in a day for a fraction of the cost for most structures.”

The Company hopes to interest Florida Public School Boards in the Technology. Gillman stated,” Mold in Schools is costing Florida Taxpayers millions of dollars. Add in the cost of closing Schools and displacing students, liability lawsuits, workers compensation claims and concerns over student health makes this technology a safe and cost effective tool in the fight against mold related health issues.”

GIANT NON-STICK COOKWARE AIDS IN COUNTRY'S BIGGEST PANCAKE BREAKFAST Energizing runners of the 3rd Pasig River Heritage Marathon

GIANT NON-STICK COOKWARE AIDS IN COUNTRY'S BIGGEST PANCAKE BREAKFAST Energizing runners of the 3rd Pasig River Heritage Marathon

Breakfast remains to be the most important meal of the day, especially if you intend to join an early morning marathon participated by thousands of avid runners of all ages at Fort Bonifacio, Taguig.

(PRWEB) May 1, 2003

Breakfast remains to be the most important meal of the day, especially if you intend to join an early morning marathon participated by thousands of avid runners of all ages at Fort Bonifacio, Taguig.

Feeding thousands of marathoners for the 3rd Pasig River Heritage Marathon?

To solve that predicament would require either the organizers to stay up all night cooking batches of pancakes and storing them in plastic ware, or a battalion of cooks armed with frying pans and gas stoves, including a lot of cooking oil for shaping up pancakes faster and ridding sticking on to the pan surface. The first option would mean serving cold and bland pancakes—that’s not so appetizing. The latter would seem like watching a food court with long queues of people complainingly waiting to quench their appetite, while the each cook anxiously flips over pancake after pancake, making sure it turns golden brown.

Fortunately, neither scenario was necessary.

With DuPont Philippines supporting the much-awaited event for the second time around, the company provided a giant Teflon®-coated fry pan that made the cooking much quicker—and was just right for the country’s biggest pancake feast. The one-meter wide non-stick pan, coated with ceramic-reinforced Teflon® Select, rose to the task of cooking a quick and healthy pancake breakfast for the hungry marathoners who queued by the thousands.

“We are already fortunate to have supported and participated in this year’s marathon, with caring for the environment being one of the core values of DuPont,” said Ramon Abadilla, DuPont Managing Director. “Having our giant Teflon®-coated fry pan provided some assistance for the chefs in the country’s largest pancake breakfast was indeed a rare but fruitful opportunity for us to be of service to the organizers, beneficiaries, and participants of Pasig River rehabilitation event. This unique giant fry pan is one of only two in existence and has been on tour for different DuPont events in Australia, Indonesia, and Malaysia, with its next scheduled stop in Singapore.”

The 3rd Pasig River Heritage Marathon was organized by the Clean and Green Foundation, Inc. in cooperation with the Fort Bonifacio Development Corporation, among other sponsors. RFM CorporationÂ’s White King Hotcake & Waffle Mixes provided the free food fest for all the participants after the race events.

DuPont Teflon® is listed in the Guinness World Records as the slipperiest material in the world and is usually likened to the surface of wet ice against wet ice. Although best known in cookware, it is also used for apparel, stain protection, personal care, and other industrial applications.

DuPont Philippines has supported this event and other environment-related activities as part of the companyÂ’s ongoing initiatives that address community sustainability in the areas of social progress, economic success, and environmental excellence.

DuPont is a science company. Founded in 1802, DuPont puts science to work by solving problems and creating solutions that make peopleÂ’s lives better, safer and easier. Operating in more than 70 countries, the company offers a wide range of products and services to markets including agriculture, nutrition, electronics, communications, safety and protection, home and construction, transportation and apparel.

Hauppauge, NY (PRWEB) September 14, 2005

ZyDoc, a technology leader in automated medical documentation solutions, announced free emergency transcription and medical record support for healthcare workers and organizations affected by the Katrina hurricane disaster. In view of the severity of the hurricane and widespread disruption of services, ZyDoc recognizes the need to fulfill the requirements of healthcare providers for medical transcription and documentation management. With many hospitals in the effected area temporally closed or operating with limited services, the infrastructure for ongoing medical records will be severely limited. Coupled with the anticipated increase in medical services secondary to the disaster, and difficulties for healthcare providers and transcriptionists to travel or perform their duties, ZyDoc anticipates that there maybe an immediate need to offer transcription services and secure Internet based medical records to the medical community. The displaced victims will benefit from secure Internet based records that can be accessible from anywhere.

Jim Maisel, M. D., Chairman of ZyDoc explains, "The ZyDoc technology platform offers a number of advantages to the disaster area to overcome infrastructural limitations imposed by service outages and temporary personnel shortages and displacement of people. Physicians, hospitals, relief, legal, rescue and transcription companies can utilize ZyDoc infrastructure and transcription services starting work within minutes. ZyDoc intends to make our surplus capacity available immediately to the medical community on a first-come first-served basis at no charge until services can be restored."

Steve Koski, CEO and President of ZyDoc explains the operational aspects of the transcription and medical records service as follows: "Health-care workers will be able to dictate into handheld digital recorders or the ZyDoc TelDoc 800 toll-free servers. ZyDoc will supply fully edited transcription services, usually with overnight service as available, for these documents or provide Internet based ASP delivery of the voice files to the transcriptionists selected by the health-care users. Once transcribed, documents and voice files will be available immediately and securely via Internet access from any PC with a browser and stored for later access. The documents can also be automatically downloaded and printed to a PC, faxed or made available to share with authorized caregivers over the Internet. The ZyDoc carrier class datacenter has proven reliable without failure over the past two years and was operational even during the Northeast blackout. We intend to make our surplus capacity available immediately to the medical community on a first-come first-served basis at no charge."

Vi-Jon Laboratories Introduces GERM-X® Ultimate Antibacterial Foaming Hand Soap

Vi-Jon Laboratories Introduces GERM-X® Ultimate Antibacterial Foaming Hand Soap

Vi-Jon Laboratories, St. Louis-based personal care products manufacturer, announces the addition of Germ-X Ultimate antibacterial foaming hand soap to its branded Germ-X line of products.

Saint Louis, MO (PRWEB) December 7, 2005

Vi-Jon Laboratories, St. Louis-based personal care products manufacturer, announces the addition of Germ-X Ultimate antibacterial foaming hand soap to its branded Germ-X line of products. Just in time for the holidays and National Hand-washing Awareness Week on Dec. 4-10, Germ-X Ultimate foaming soaps are fun to use because they don’t require water to lather. The bottle’s pump action dispenses the soap’s moisturizing and germ-killing formula. The foaming soaps are proven to eliminate 12 times as many germs as ordinary hand soap, contain increased moisturizers, and are triclosan free. Germ-X Ultimate foaming hand soap joins the family of Germ-X hand sanitizing products, including one of the best selling sanitizing gels—Germ-X. Germ-X products are recognized as leaders in the fight to keep your family germ free, eradicating 99.99 percent of harmful germs that cause illness.

With the holidays approaching, flu shots at a premium and people sacrificing sleep and normal exercise and eating habits, immune systems are under increased strain. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, influenza steadily increased throughout December 2004 and into January 2005. In order to promote health and good hand hygiene this holiday season, Vi-Jon Laboratories recognizes National Hand-washing Awareness Week. The purpose of this week is to bring awareness to and emphasize the importance of hand hygiene and eliminating the spread of germs.

One way to give the gift of health this winter is with a bottle of Germ-X Ultimate. The soaps come in a variety of colors and fragrances, such as Lightly Lavender, Sea Side Surf and Perfectly Paradise. The soaps are also unique in that they provide maximum antibacterial protection, include an easy dispensing pump for kids and adults and have decorative packaging for use throughout the house.

The Food and Drug Administration’s Center for Drug Evaluation and Research is currently reviewing the chemical triclosan, often found in antibacterial soaps, and determining whether or not it is effective in eliminating and preventing bacteria and meeting environmental standards. Germ-X Ultimate foaming hand soap and Germ-X Hand Sanitizer are both triclosan free.

“We have worked very hard in developing the Germ-X Ultimate antibacterial foaming hand soaps and are proud to introduce them to consumers, especially at this time of year when the cold and flu is in full force. We know it will make for a perfect stocking stuffer this holiday season,” said Diane Beffa, brand manager. “It was easy for us to choose the name Ultimate for this product as it provides ultimate moisture to hands, ultimate germ eliminating capabilities and ultimate cleaning power! We had one mother of five tell us that she never writes to manufacturers about products—good or bad, but ‘my family loves Germ-X Ultimate Foaming Hand Soap so much, and it left my hands softer than any other soaps I have used, I simply had to write to tell you.’”

There are approximately 130 uses in a 7.5oz bottle of Germ-X Ultimate, which is the same usage as traditional liquid hand soap.

Bush Sneaks in Vetoes Under a Veil of Formality

Bush Sneaks in Vetoes Under a Veil of Formality

While the Bush administration has publicly avoided vetoes, it openly uses a 'ceremonial' policy to effect the same outcome.

(PRWEB) August 18, 2005

An article published in the latest issue of Presidential Studies Quarterly discusses how the Bush administration used a little-known policy tool of attaching presidential signing statements to bills to, in essence, veto them.

The statements serve to increase presidential authority while rejecting that of Congress. Presidential signing statements alter specific provisions of legislation without sending bills back for possible veto overrides. This is as effective and substantive as a line-item veto and can nullify a range of statutory provisions even as a president signs the legislation that contained them into law.

While the present administration is not the first to use the presidential signing statements, it has very effectively expanded the scope and character of the statement to nullify and reposition the powers of the presidency to Congress. Author Phillip J. CooperÂ’s study of the first term of the Bush administration reveals wide-ranging and systematic use of the statements to yield and define exclusive authority.

Presidential statements, by definition, are pronouncements issued by the president when a congressional enactment is signed. In addition to providing general commentary, the statements provide the presidentÂ’s interpretation of the language of the law, announce constitutional limits on the implementation of some of its provisions, and/or indicate directions on administering the new law in an acceptable manner. These statements inform the relevant agency head of the administrationÂ’s objections.

“That, of course, means that they are to act in the manner that the administration considers appropriate as compared to the way the legislation sets forth by policy,” Dr. Cooper explains. In taking advantage of this power, the president leaves Congress with few response options unless it is willing to pass entirely new legislation, which in turn would create a stronger veto threat.

This article is published in the September issue of Presidential Studies Quarterly.

Presidential Studies Quarterly is the only scholarly journal that focuses on the most powerful political figure in the world - the president of the United States. It is published by the Center for the Study of the Presidency.

Phillip J. Cooper is a professor of Public Administration in the Hatfield School of Government at Portland State University. He was the first recipient of the Charles Levine Award given by the American Society for Public Administration and the National Association of Schools of Public Affairs and Administration for excellence in public affairs scholarship, teaching, and service. He has authored numerous books and articles on sustainable development administration, public administration, administrative law, constitutional law, law and public policy, environmental policy, and health care policy. Dr. Cooper is available for questions and interviews.

BTS, LLC Awarded Disabled Veteran Business Enterprise and Small Business Certifications

BTS, LLC is a premier systems and software engineering firm located in the San Diego area. They provide cost effective solutions and consulting services to public and private sector customers. Their most recent project is with the county of Sacramento assisting with a reorganization of the county's MIS department. They have just increased their competitive edge in public sector consulting by receiving their Small Business and their Disabled Veteran Business Enterprise Certifications for the state of California.

San Diego, CA (PRWEB) May 19, 2005

The Small Business Certification grants certified small businesses (SB's) a 5% bid preference on applicable state solicitations. Under the Prompt Payment Act, the state must pay a certified small business higher interest penalties for late payment of an undisputed invoice. California has a goal to use Certified Small Businesses in at least 25% of the state's overall annual contract dollars. The Disabled Veteran Business Enterprise (DVBE) Certification is a special qualification for businesses within the state of California that are wholly owned by a US veteran that has a service-related disability of at least 10% or more. California has a DVBE program that sets a goal to use DVBE’s in at least 3% of the state's overall annual contract dollars. By obtaining both of these certifications, the state can streamline its often expensive and time-consuming bidding process by contracting directly with BTS for projects valued between $5001 - $99,999. "BTS is positioning itself to be the ‘go-to’ consulting company for behavioral health as well as technology consulting, and these certifications will provide the final piece of the puzzle for BTS to partner with larger consulting firms and software vendors, as well as to set the stage for contractual awards," says CEO Jennifer Iles-Bullock.

BTS is growing in strength, and acquiring these certifications will only further add stability and marketability to the technology consulting company.

BTS is well positioned to provide solutions that enable customers to meet their technology needs, no matter how complex the problem or how aggressive the schedule. BTS employs seasoned technology professionals who are committed to excellence and quality.

ASPH Launches Schools of Public Health Application Service

ASPH Launches Schools of Public Health Application Service

The Schools of Public Health Application Service, launched this summer, will streamline the application process for applicants to schools of public health, as well as provide a wealth of information on public health programs.

Washington, DC (PRWEB) July 14, 2006

Applicants to schools of public health accredited by the Council on Education for Public Health (CEPH) will now be able to apply to multiple schools with one application by using the Schools of Public Health Application Service (SOPHAS). The service launched on July 7, 2006, by the Association of Schools of Public Health (ASPH), will streamline the application process for applicants, as well as provide a wealth of information on the 38 ASPH-member schools.

The development of the public health Centralized Application Service (CAS) was guided by a national advisory committee of directors of admission, faculty, and deans of the accredited schools of public health. Liaison International, Inc., a company based in Boston, MA, worked with the committee and ASPH to develop the service and will manage the day-to-day operations.

The SOPHAS website provides a directory of CEPH-accredited schools and the degree programs they offer, information concerning deadlines and requirements, and a frequently asked question page. The online application allows applicants to enter their contact information and academic and work history, to designate references, upload CVs/resumes and to submit personal essay to each selected school.

SOPHAS remains a source of information even after applicants have completed the online application. Through the site, applicants can track their application until they receive notification from the school or schools.

Twenty-two schools of public health will participate in SOPHAS in its inaugural year and more schools have already indicated they will join in the second year of service. A directory of schools of public health is available at www. sophas. org.

The development of SOPHAS represents a growing trend in centralized application services. Other application services for schools of health professions include allopathic medicine (AMCAS); dental medicine (AADSAS); osteopathic medicine (AACOMAS); pharmacy (PharmCAS); physician assistant (CASPA); podiatric medicine (AACPMAS); veterinary medicine (VMCAS) and Texas state schools (TMDSAS). The timing of the launch of SOPHAS also reflects increasing interest on the part of students in pursuing a career in public health. Over the last decade, the number of applications to schools of public health has nearly doubled and SOPHAS will serve to ease the application process for these prospective students.

For more information about SOPHAS and schools of public health, visit http://www. sophas. org (http://www. sophas. org). For more information about public health, see http://www. whatispublichealth. org (http://www. whatispublichealth. org).

Male Fertility Supplement Increases Sperm Quality & Motility in Clinical Study

Male Fertility Supplement Increases Sperm Quality & Motility in Clinical Study

A recent clinical study on "FertilAid for Men" suggests the proprietary formula can increase sperm health, particularly the overall number of normally shaped, motile sperm in the ejaculate.

Bellingham, WA (PRWEB) August 13, 2007

Results from a recent clinical study indicate that the male fertility supplement, FertilAid for Men, provides significant improvements in sperm quality for men with abnormal sperm parameters. In particular, results of the 90-day, double blind, placebo-controlled study suggest that FertilAid for Men supports significant increases in the total number of normal motile sperm, in the ejaculate. Previous clinical studies have suggested a strong relationship between the "total normal-motile sperm count" in an ejaculate and the fertility of the man. Specifically, the greater the number of normally shaped sperm that are able to swim (motile), the higher the incidence of pregnancy among trying-to-conceive couples. FertilAid for Men is a dietary supplement from Fairhaven Health, formulated by recognized fertility expert, Amos Grunebaum, MD, and based on recent studies showing improvements in sperm function following supplementation of men with various antioxidant compounds.

Conducted by the award winning Sperm Physiologist, Dr. J. E Ellington, the double-blind FertilAid for Men study was done through 2006 to determine the impact of FertilAid on sperm function for men with "abnormal sperm parameters", as defined by the World Health Organization. Results of the study showed significant improvement in the total number of motile sperm for men taking FertilAid for Men, versus those taking a placebo. According to Dr. Ellington, "men with higher levels of motile, normally shaped sperm have shown better pregnancy outcomes in several studies."

Sperm motility is defined as the ability of sperm to swim in a sustained, forward-moving manner. Healthy, motile sperm show an increased capacity to fertilize an egg and initiate a pregnancy, while non-motile or abnormally-motile sperm will not, under most circumstances, be able to cause fertilization. In evaluating sperm function in humans, "total normal sperm motility" is one of the primary "parameters" for determining male fertility health. According to Dr. Ellington," Most of the men that had increased sperm counts while taking FertilAid for Men, showed improvements of 20% or more in the number of healthy sperm. Based on this data as well as that in several other studies, I recommend all trying-to-conceive men take a fertility vitamin, such as FertilAid for Men, to optimize their sperm quality.".

Formulated by fertility expert, Amos Grunebaum, MD, FertilAid for Men is a male fertility supplement that integrates an array of vitamins, potent antioxidants, and a proprietary blend of select herbal ingredients, as well as the amino acid, l-carnitine. Along with this recent FertilAid for Men clinical study, other independent reports suggest that the ingredients in FertilAid support sperm health in several key areas -- or "parameters" - including sperm motility, sperm count, and normal sperm shape (morphology).

In particular, scientific literature suggests that antioxidants can improve male fertility by reducing oxidative stress and damage to spermatozoa, while supporting fundamental protective functions of the seminal plasma which insulate and nourish sperm. In independent studies, antioxidants reduce "free-radical" damage, in particular to the sperm's DNA or genetic material, resulting in better pregnancy outcomes.

Research on the amino acid, l-carnitine, yields similarly impressive findings: L-carnitine supports "sperm metabolism", or the ability for sperm to break down complex molecules to produce energy. L-carnitine has been shown in a number of clinical studies to enhance several fundamental sperm parameters, including sperm concentration, motility, and normal morphology.

As Dr. Amos Grunebaum suggests, "The recent FertilAid for Men study verifies and bolsters evidence from previous independent studies on nutrition and sperm health. The FertilAid for Men formula is based on previous clinical evidence, and we are pleased to see that this new FertilAid study both confirms and advances research on male fertility health."

For couples who are trying to conceive a baby, the recent FertilAid for Men study is good news. More than 15% of couples who are trying-to-conceive will face some infertility obstacles or delays in successfully achieving a pregnancy -- particularly today, as couples are having babies later in life than previous generations. While the FertilAid for Men study revealed improvements in sperm health for men with documented "abnormal" sperm parameters, Dr. Grunebaum emphasizes that FertilAid for Men is designed for all men seeking to improve or ensure optimum sperm health while trying to conceive.

The FertilAid for Men Study was conducted in 2006 by Drs. J. E Ellington and G. D. Clifton of INGfertility. FertilAid for Men was formulated by Dr. Amos Grunebaum, MD.

Fairhaven Health (http://www. fairhavenhealth. com (http://www. fairhavenhealth. com)), the maker of FertilAid products, is a leading manufacturer of fertility products for both women and men. Fairhaven Health is also the maker of FertilAid for Women, FertileCM, Pregnancy Plus Prenatal Vitamin, Pregnancy Plus Omega-3, and the Fertile Focus ovulation microscope.

Children, Incorporated Now Making a Difference in Jordan

Children, Incorporated Now Making a Difference in Jordan

International organization adds 25th country and enrolls 17 children into program.

Richmond, VA (PRWEB) October 19, 2008

Children, Incorporated is supporting children in need in the Kingdom of Jordan and is now one of two major sponsorship agencies working in the Arab country. Through generous sponsors, Children, Incorporated is looking to support 17 poverty-stricken students at the religiously diverse Saviour Episcopal School in Zarqa, Jordan. Eventually, Children, Incorporated hopes to find sponsors for all 200-plus students.

Zarqa is one of the poorest cities in Jordan. Close to 800,000 people make up this industrial center and many of the students' families are immigrants or low-wage factory workers. The school offers a unique opportunity for Children, Incorporated to make a difference as the student body is equally split between Christians and Muslims, a rare situation in this buttoned down area of the Middle East. The Saviour Episcopal administration is committed to religious diversity, creating an environment of inclusion and equality for all students.

The Children, Incorporated program increases the health, wellbeing and education for these children and 17,000 others in 25 countries around the world and in the U. S. By finding sponsors for these initial 17 students, Children, Incorporated is offering the benefits of its program to children living in a region beset by poverty.

The school was founded in 1955 in response to a flood of refugees caused by the Arab-Israeli war of 1948. Saviour Episcopal is a day school that serves kindergarten through seventh grade and provides students with a comprehensive curriculum focused on religious studies, language skills, mathematics, civics, social studies, science, art education and vocational training in computers and technology. The school provides two meals a day and promotes participation in team sports.

For additional information about the project in Jordan, contact Children, Incorporated Director of Marketing and Donor Development Liz Sauer at 800.538.5381 or visit us at www. ChildrenIncorporated. org.

About Children, Incorporated:
Children, Incorporated is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization based in Richmond, Virginia that works to improve the lives of children living in poverty through partnerships with orphanages, schools and community centers in the United States and 25 other nations. With donations and sponsorships, Children, Incorporated provides food, clothing, medical care and education to over 17,000 children worldwide. To learn more and find out how you can help, visit www.

Total Rejuvenation HGH Center Welcomes New Director

Total Rejuvenation HGH Center Welcomes New Director

The Total Rejuvenation HGH Center, which provides human growth hormone therapy and testosterone treatment, has announced the hiring of its new director, Glenn Dorsey.

Miami, FL (PRWEB) October 30, 2010

The Total Rejuvenation HGH Center, which provides human growth hormone therapy and testosterone treatment, has announced the hiring of its new director, Glenn Dorsey.

Dr. Dorsey has 15 years experience in the health and medical field. His hiring comes after a comprehensive search by the company after the retirement of its former director.

“We are tremendously excited to welcome Dr. Dorsey to our highly qualified staff of medical professionals,” said Michael Stone of Total Rejuvenation. “He joins our team highly recommended by his previous associates and we are looking forward to utilizing his skills and experience to help even more individuals with their HGH treatments.”

The Total Rejuvenation HGH Center specializes in treating hormone deficiencies in men and women across the United States. Its staff consists of highly knowledgeable medical professionals who work one-on-one with patients to find the best treatment options to fit their needs.

Human growth hormone, or HGH, is a protein-fostering thyroid contained within growth and cell features of all human beings. Its gland is located behind the eyes and is secreted in quick pulses after exercise and during the first hours of sleep. As a person ages, however, the production of HGH decreases, resulting in the need for treatment.

“All across the country, our clinic is helping people realize the benefits of HGH therapy and testosterone treatment,” Stone said. “Our goal is to continue this great work and to boost the services we offer.”

Hormone replacement can bring great benefits to patients, including improved levels of energy, sexual drive and performance, skin tone, memory, cognitive function and immune system. It can also help a person build muscle while reducing fat.

The staff of the clinic includes doctors, nurse practitioners and patient care coordinators, with over 20 years of experience in hormone replacement therapy. For more information, visit http://www. noelchristopher. com.

INTRODUCING POPSALOT: HOLLYWOODÂ’S TASTIEST PREMIERE OF 2005 Beverly Hills Favorite Gourmet Popcorn Now Available Across the Country

INTRODUCING POPSALOT: HOLLYWOODÂ’S TASTIEST PREMIERE OF 2005 Beverly Hills Favorite Gourmet Popcorn Now Available Across the Country

For years we have been making waves with our popcorn on behalf of the Hollywood elite. We began as a small business that served exclusive private movie screenings for movie producers, directors, actors, and studio executives, in addition to birthdays and special celebrity charitable events. As demand for the best popcorn in Los Angeles grew, so did we! By popular demand, we are currently expanding our operations and are pleased to now offer our world class popcorn worldwide.

BEVERLY HILLS, (PRWEB) September 29, 2005 -

Popcorn lovers rejoice! Popsalot™ gourmet popcorn is available for everyone’s snacking enjoyment through its newly-launched online store at www. Popsalot. com. Popsalot’s freshly air-popped popcorn, hand-mixed to create uniquely delicious flavors, has already established a devoted following in Hollywood and is sure to quickly amass a national fan base. Popsalot popcorn is made from scratch with the finest natural ingredients and serves up scrumptious versions of traditional flavors, such as caramel and cheese, as well as bold new takes on this whole-grain treat.

“I’ve spent years developing my recipes, and in the process I found that the key to success is using natural, high quality ingredients and doing as much as possible by hand,” says Noah Sheray, Popsalot’s founder and principal. “It’s a labor of love – the popcorn is fresh, made to order and that comes across in the final product. Customers taste the difference, and they really respond to it.”

Sheray credits his mother and father with the inspiration for Popsalot. While traveling to Chicago years ago, SherayÂ’s father was amazed to see people waiting for more than 30 minutes to buy popcorn at a specialty shop. Sheray ultimately carried out his parentÂ’s idea on the West Coast, making his popcorn even more flavorful and finding a way to make its fresh taste and texture last longer. Thus, Popsalot, HollywoodÂ’s new favorite gourmet snack, was born.

Popsalot popcorn flavors vary from savory to sweet, and have something to offer to every palate:

▪ Clandestine Caramel: handmade, all-natural caramel is folded over air-popped popcorn for a simple, yet sinfully delicious treat;

▪ Cheese: melted cheddar cheese gives a tangy bite to every nook and cranny in each fluffy air-popped kernel;

▪ Herb: air-popped popcorn gets light spray of olive oil and a dash of PopsalotÂ’s secret blend of herbs for a refreshingly original taste;

▪ Cashew and Clandestine Caramel: PopsalotÂ’s caramel corn gets a kick from a generous amount of whole cashew nuts added to the mix

▪ Pecan and Clandestine Caramel: pecan halves add a new dimension to PopsalotÂ’s caramel corn

▪ Macadamia Nut and Clandestine Caramel: whole Macadamia nuts pack a punch and offer a distinctly crunchy complement to PopsalotÂ’s caramel corn

▪ Plain: PopsalotÂ’s unadulterated air-popped popcorn is simple, incredibly healthy and delectable.

Each of these flavors are available in PopsalotÂ’s distinctive tins, in 1-, 2-, 3.5- and 6.5-gallon sizes. Popsalot also offers several combination tins to facilitate mixing flavors for even more fun. For corporate customers, Popsalot offers customized packaging to accommodate business logos and/or special messages.
