Kate Moss Victimized by Fashion Industry

Kate Moss Victimized by Fashion Industry

Kate Moss simply carries the emotional baggage which comes with the territory of being a fourteen-year-old who was allowed to pose nude for adults. She is a victim of the same individuals who created the framework for her demise more than fifteen years ago.

Atlanta, GA (PRWEB) September 25, 2005

Mental Health Therapist, and Personal Advisor to the stars, Terence McPhaul says, “Kate Moss is simply experiencing the natural progression of the deleterious world that fashion can be.”

Recent photographs unveiled Moss snorting cocaine, a habit that she has been said to have nurtured for more than ten years.

“Kate carries the emotional baggage, which comes with the territory of being a fourteen-year-old who was allowed to pose nude for adults,” said McPhaul who has studied the fashion industry and authored The Celebrity Psyche, The Psychology of Hip Hop and most recently Psycho: The Unauthorized Biography of Sean “Diddy” Combs.

McPhaul adds, “the public should expect that someone who suffered the abuses Kate did may look for an escape.” And, “some of these same people who caused her condition wish to pretend that what they imposed on her when she was a young girl was not abuse….it’s positively shameful, and all too common that children are abused by adults, banished to grow up in the destructive aftermath and left to fend for themselves!”

Moss has recently made claims that she wishes to take responsibility for her current state that has resulted in her losing several financially lofty contracts.

“I am glad Kate has decided to take responsibility, but those who long ago contributed to her crisis should step up to the plate and do likewise,” adds McPhaul.

McPhaul has appeared as a Mental Health expert for Court TV, The OÂ’Reilly Factor and The Tavis Smiley Show.

Schapelle Corby Song Puts Kevin Rudd On The Spot

Schapelle Corby Song Puts Kevin Rudd On The Spot

A new song by New York indie-pop artist, Tara Hack, has raised difficult issues for Australian Prime Minister Kevin Rudd. The track "The Wizard Down Under", reminds Mr Rudd of his statement in 2005, urging substantive support to bring the release of imprisoned human rights abuse victim Schapelle Corby. Since gaining power he has taken no steps at all to support her, and has ignored her increasingly desperate plight.

(PRWEB) June 17, 2009

A new song by New York indie-pop artist, Tara Hack, has raised difficult issues for Australian Prime Minister Kevin Rudd. The track "The Wizard Down Under", reminds Mr Rudd of his statement in 2005, urging substantive support to bring the release of imprisoned human rights abuse victim Schapelle Corby. Since gaining power he has taken no steps at all to support her, and has ignored her increasingly desperate plight.

The song covers the full canopy of events: the human rights abuses, the sordid politics, the media, the global protest, and Schapelle Corby's rapidly deteriorating condition. Its punch line chorus though is a stark uncomplicated and simple appeal to Kevin Rudd:

"So let's all go see the wizard
Down under in OZ
And tell Kevin Rudd
That we've got a cause
Do you know Schapelle Corby
Well she's from OZ, too
John Howard was a coward
Now it's all up to you"

Rachel James, of the Schapelle. Net website states: "This is an amazing piece of music, from a hugely talented artists. It is courageous too, as it names names, and pulls no punches at all in exposing the truth."

Jan Fielding the head of Margin House Records is equally impressed: "Protest song story telling of this quality hasn't been seen for a great many years. It is indeed an exceptional work, and is a guaranteed worldwide internet hit, especially in North America and Europe, where airplay won't be restricted by politicians. The kick at the very end of the song, of Schapelle Corby's anguished cries, is a masterstroke, reminding the listener that this is not fiction but a real life."

THE VIDEO
The song is supported by a striking video, which provides some extremely disturbing footage. This was produced in the UK, again illustrating the global nature of the concern at Schapelle Corby's condition and the lack of help from the Australian government.

Ms James continued: "The world is watching Mr Rudd in disbelief. Schapelle Corby's health is failing rapidly, and he hasn't lifted a finger to help her. Cruelty doesn't even begin to describe what she is now suffering."

The MP3 is available as a free download, from the following page:
Www. schapelle. net/wizard. html (http://www. schapelle. net/wizard. html)

The video can also be viewed from this page.

KEVIN RUDD
In a separate development, a European human rights advocate has registered Mr Rudd's mobile internet domain name, www. KevinRudd. mobi, and placed a copy of Rudd's 2005 Schapelle Corby statement on it.

New Covenant to Care for Children Executive Director Invited to White House

Covenant to Care for Children represented at White House roundtable focused on mentoring and faith-based initiatives

Bloomfield, CT (PRWEB) February 20, 2008

Caryl Hallberg relocated from California to Connecticut in September 2007, becoming CEO of Covenant to Care for Children, a 22 year old state-wide nonprofit that mobilizes and channels the generosity of caring and faithful people to advocate for, mentor and provide direct services to the neglected, abused and at-risk children and youth of Connecticut. Connecticut is well known for being the wealthiest state in the union but few realize it has the four poorest cities in the USA.

"The challenges are huge, working with thousands of volunteers last year we served over 25,000 children, even so we are just scratching the surface of the need," stated Hallberg.

Towards the end of January 2008, Hallberg, representing Covenant to Care for Children, was one of a handful of providers from across the USA invited to participate in a round table discussion at the Whitehouse. Jim Hein, Director of the Whitehouse Faith-based and Community Initiatives hosted the event focused on the Mentoring Children of Prisoners program of the US Department of Health and Human Services, Administration of Children and Families.

"It is a great honor as the new Executive Director to represent Covenant to Care for Children; in this instance, for the mentoring work they have been doing successfully and to such high standards for so many years."

Covenant to Care for Children works with over 240 faith-based organizations throughout Connecticut, mobilizing thousands volunteers. The collective strength of these volunteers served 25,000 of Connecticut's children in 2007. Much of the work done through the four CCC programs is preventative, helping families stay untied or helping to permanently reunite families. As a nonprofit, Covenant to Care for Children, depends on the support of individual and corporate donations. To donate, volunteer or learn more visit www. covenanttocare. org

Jenny Jarnagin Releases Two Debut CDs, Donates Proceeds to Women's Charities

Singer/Songwriter Jenny Jarnagin Releases Her First Two Albums Simultaneously with Some of the Proceeds Being Donated to Charitable Organizations Benefiting Abused Women - Born in Sayre, Oklahoma on the Same Property as Grammy Award Winning Composer Jimmy Webb, this Songwriters’ Original Works Makes You Think there Must be Something Special in That Dirt

Phoenix, AZ (PRWEB) January 19, 2011

Singer/songwriter Jenny Jarnagin releases her first two music albums together on iFanz Recordz. Jenny is donating one dollar per CD sold to organizations that help abused women get back on their feet.

Phoenix, Arizona resident and musician, Jenny Jarnagin, releases her first two music albums this month on iFanz Recordz. Born in Sayre, Oklahoma on the same property as Grammy Award-winning composer Jimmy Webb, Jarnagin began playing piano at the age of three. Two years later, her family immigrated to Canada, where she was raised until she returned to the United States to pursue her music degree. This month, she celebrates the release of her first two albums.

These debut CDs include twenty-seven original songs, fourteen of which are instrumental piano pieces featured on the first, self-titled album (inspired by the North Peace Country, in British Columbia). The second album titled “He Brings Me Coffee” includes thirteen Broadway style vocal pop pieces featuring two orchestral arrangements by Grammy Award-winning arranger Bob Freedman. Jenny’s ability to turn her personal struggles into creative successes is evident through her lyrics, as illustrated by her song, “Made It Through”, among others. Since exiting an unhealthy relationship, Jenny’s creative output has been unstoppable. Already she is nearly finished recording her third album, “Play The Blame Game”, which is slated for release in March of this year.

“I’m blessed to have a family that helped me through this tough time. My situation made me think about all of the women trapped with no way to leave and no support system. That’s a scary place to be”, says Jarnagin, who has decided to donate one dollar per CD sold to organizations that help abused women get back on their feet. Both CDs are available on iTunes and her personal webpage at http://www. jennyjarnagin. com.

Jenny Jarnagin is an American singer/songwriter and pianist. She has a bachelor’s degree in Performance from Texas A&M and a master’s degree from Northern Arizona University. She also studied at The Conservatory of Music in Victoria, British Columbia and at The Conservatory of Music in St. Petersburg, Russia.

The Faulk for Congress Election Committee Launches an Extensive New Website With 100 Pages of Valuable Voter Information

The Faulk for Congress Election Committee Launches an Extensive New Website With 100 Pages of Valuable Voter Information

Faulk for Congress has just released a significant new website unlike any other Congressional Candidate's website that we have seen. The new website is well presented, easy to navigate and presents a wealth of continually updated information where all American voters can stay up to date with their preferred presidential candidates and the most important voter issues at hand.

Houston, TX (PRWEB) February 23, 2008

Faulk for Congress has just released a significant new website unlike any other Congressional Candidate's website that we have seen. The new website is well presented, easy to navigate and presents a wealth of continually updated information where all American voters can stay up to date with their preferred presidential candidates and the most important voter issues at hand.

In a recent conversation with John about his website design concept he noted that: "Informed voters make the best decisions". John's sincere support for the American Democratic Process and for his fellow Americans whether Republican or Democrat is demonstrated in his website's presentation.

Entering the FaulkForCongress. org (http://www. faulkforcongress. org) website you will find it well organized so that visitors can easily find what they are looking for. Once inside the Site you quickly come across the Faulk Campaign Platform where you find a number of individual pages expressly conveying his views on a number of important voter issues. At the bottom of each "Platform" page, visitors find convenient; "Back - Next", navigation buttons promoting a quick run through of his entire campaign platform which includes these popular topics:

Balanced Federal Budget
The Economy
Education
Energy
First Amendment Rights
Foreign Policy
Illegal Immigration
Judicial Appointments
Right to Life
Marriage
NASA
National Security
Parental Rights
Property Rights and Eminent Domain
Second Amendment Rights
Social Security
Taxes

After reviewing his platform you come away with the feeling that John's character is determinant and you know exactly what to expect if he were to win his bid for election in the Texas 18th Congressional District (http://www. faulkforcongress. org/District/Texas_Congressional_District_18.htm) race.

Another informative section of the new "Faulk For Congress" website is; "Voter Concerns in the News". In review of the material presented in that section we found that the website conveys valuable and timely, dynamically updated unbiased news pages displaying up to the minute voter issue information from leading Internet News Sources.

The "Voter Concerns News" is broken into 4 categories:

Presidential Candidates
National Issues
Texas
Houston

This section of the website is smartly designed where navigation is easy and quick. "Presidential Candidates (http://www. faulkforcongress. org/Resources/Presidential_Candidates/Presidential_Candidates. php)" is a single page with the latest continually updated news spots on all the presidential candidates, conveniently allowing a visitor or 'voter on the run" to catch up with all the latest Presidential Campaign news by scrolling down a single page.

The "National Issues" navigation fly-out features links to a series of news pages which display breaking news covering national issues which are at the forefront of voter concerns this year, including:

Balanced Budget
Death Tax
Eminent Domain
First Amendment
Home Schooling
Housing Crisis - Mortgage Crisis, Subprime Lending, and Foreclosures
Illegal Immigration
Judicial Appointments
Marriage Penalty
National Security
Parental Rights
Second Amendment
Social Security
US Economy
US Taxes - Income Tax, Alternative Minimum Tax, Tax Reform

Texans and Houstonians will also find resources displaying up to the minute information on the Texas Primaries as they occur.

Another section of FaulkForCongress. org is entitled "Government Direct (http://www. faulkforcongress. org/Government_Direct/US_Government_Direct. htm)". This section of the new website contains about 50 pages, too numerous to list here. The best way to convey a brief review is to quote John Faulk directly from his website:

"It's my pleasure to live in a society where the government is open and free as possible. Below you will find many valuable resources for your daily life, health and security. All 50 pages are continuously updated, courtesy of the United States Government in an attempt to keep its citizens informed, healthy, safe and secure. I support our government's openness. Let's "Reach Out Together" as Americans and let the Democrats know that we reject their Socialist leanings in 2008. I want to continue living in a free society, as I know you do, also."

Those are strong words, but they are reinforced, without doubt once you visit John Faulk's new website.

Concluding one of our conversations, John indicated that he is fully aware of the stiff competition he is faced with, as a contender against long time incumbent Liberal Democrat Sheila Jackson Lee, just before he reminded me that Americans view the current Congress with an 84% disapproval rate.

John sincerely feels that it is time the American people started electing representatives; "from the people, by the people and for the people" instead of career politicians, and indeed his new website reflects that character.
