Toronto, Canada (PRWEB) August 18, 2007

When in town, film industry people like Shirley MacLaine and other stars, directors and producers find their way to the Ontario Hypnosis Centre in Yorkville to release stress, take time out for a Past Life Regression Journey or work with Dr. Georgina Cannon on their shyness or presentation skills.

Cannon, who's told she looks like MacLaine and is a regular host on Shirley's on-line chat room as the expert on hypnosis, past life regression and life between lives therapy, had lunch with the star while in Toronto recently. Says, Cannon, "We went to see the movie, "Thank you for smoking" at the Manulife, had dinner at the Indian restaurant UTSAV on Yorkville, breakfast at her hotel and numerous stops at Starbucks." MacLaine made a stop at the Ontario Hypnosis Centre as well.

Open 24 x 7, this clinic has been operating for 10 years and the director, Dr. Georgina Cannon is regarded as the 'go to' expert by the media for all information around hypnosis and regression therapy. Appearing on many TV shows, such as PLI a 3 part series for the CBC, Wedding SOS and Vision TV, Dr. Cannon works with blue chip corporation senior management and performers to help them achieve their maximum performance.

For interviews with Dr. Cannon on her visit with MacLaine and work with film stars contact Darlene Montgomery at Lifedreams Communications, 416-696-1684.

Dr. Georgina Cannon is an award-winning board certified clinical hypnotherapist and the founder and director of the Toronto-based Ontario Hypnosis Centre, the Canada's leading hypnosis training facility and hypnotherapy clinic. She has become recognized as the "public face" of hypnosis in Ontario and a respected member of the mainstream health community giving talks at Grand Rounds in Toronto hospitals. She is currently working with Sick Children's Hospital in Toronto to develop a hypnosis training program for front line medical staff. . Dr. Cannon has been a guest on many international and national television and radio programs and her work and views have gained her prominence as a frequent source for news and feature articles on hypnosis and alternative therapies. In 2003, the CBC produced a three part series on Past Life Regression filmed in her clinic with Dr. Cannon as the key player in the program. This program is currently being repeated both in Canada and internationally. Both Sky TV and Vision TV have featured Georgina Cannon as a key hypnosis expert in key documentaries.

Her best selling book, RETURN - Past Life Regression and You has reached the best seller list in Canada, and is now being distributed around the English peaking world.

Just in Time For Celiac Awareness Week: GlutenFreeCosmeticsList. com Launched

Just in Time For Celiac Awareness Week: GlutenFreeCosmeticsList. com Launched

Most people with Celiac Disease adhere to the gluten-free diet. But many suffering from this disease do not realize that many cosmetics, soaps, shampoos, hairsprays, lotions, and other beauty and self-care products also contain gluten--and using those products can be very harmful. To help people with Celiac Disease know which care products are gluten free, we created GlutenFreeCosmeticsList. com, the most comprehensive list available of gluten-free cosmetics and other beauty and self-care products.

Iowa City, IA (PRWEB) September 16, 2009

Here's good news for those with Celiac Disease who want to avoid the harmful affects of using makeup and other beauty products containing gluten…and who now and then smooch with their significant other or kiss the tummy of their baby. The most complete list of gluten-free cosmetics, beauty products and self-care products is now available at http://www. GlutenFreeCosmeticsList. com (http://www. GlutenFreeCosmeticsList. com). The comprehensive list includes more than 500 products in 35 categories, and the creators are continually updating the list adding more products.

Drew and Crystal Schiller of Iowa City, Ia., developers of GlutenFreeCosmeticsList. com, adapted a gluten-free lifestyle when Crystal was diagnosed with Celiac Disease nearly two years ago. "When I found out I had Celiac Disease," says Crystal Schiller, "I knew that meant eating only gluten-free foods. I was surprised, though, when a nutritionist also said that many cosmetics, soaps, lotions, shampoos, and other beauty products contain gluten and can end up in our mouths and be ingested. And she said that if I planned to kiss my husband, he should also use gluten-free products such as lip balm and lotions!" The Schillers also have a website and blog dedicated to the gluten-free lifestyle, GlutenFreeHub. com.

Most of the 3 million or so Americans diagnosed with Celiac Disease, an autoimmune disorder, adhere to a very strict diet completely free of gluten and other proteins found in wheat, barley and rye. They know that eating even a tiny amount of gluten can compromise their health. But many with the disease are unaware that cosmetics and other beauty and self-care products frequently contain gluten, and the use of those products can be harmful as well.

When Crystal and her husband found that a comprehensive list of gluten-free cosmetics and personal care products didn't exist, they decided to create it themselves. GlutenFreeCosmeticsList. com lists gluten-free cosmetics, hair and skin care products, lotions, lip balms, toothpaste, powders, soap, and much more. "Many of the products listed are popular brands found in most drug stores or department store cosmetic departments," Drew Schiller says. "Our website is searchable and very easy to use and includes hundreds of gluten-free products for women, men, and babies from many of the most popular companies. In addition to continually adding to the list, we know that the formulas for these products change constantly, so we make sure that each of the products on our list has been verified as gluten-free within the last six months. And we're pleased that subscribers to our list frequently send suggestions for additional manufacturers we can contact to determine if any of their products are gluten free."

A subscription to GlutenFreeCosmeticsList. com costs $14.95 for six months, or $24.97 for one year. Subscribers have unlimited access to the list, including all updates. "When you have Celiac Disease, it's hard enough figuring out what foods are safe to eat," Crystal Schiller says. "With our list of cosmetics and beauty products, it takes just seconds to find out which of the products you already have at home are okay to use, and what the options are when purchasing new products. We're very happy to help those with Celiac Disease on their path to total gluten-free health."

Nature Journal: DuPont, Lehigh Scientists Refine DNA Sorting of Carbon Nanotubes Technique, Creates First Approach to Sorting Nanotubes by Species

Nature Journal: DuPont, Lehigh Scientists Refine DNA Sorting of Carbon Nanotubes Technique, Creates First Approach to Sorting Nanotubes by Species

Discovery Provides Significant Step in Advancing Nano-Electronics, Nano-Photovoltaics.

Wilmington, DE (Vocus) July 17, 2009

Scientists at DuPont and Lehigh University have refined a technique, first published in 2003, to sort carbon nanotubes using specific sequences of DNA. This technique offers the first demonstration that nanotubes can be sorted by size, property and symmetry (chirality).

This new finding, reported in the current issue (Vol. 460 No. 7252) of the journal Nature, is titled “DNA Sequence Motifs for Structure-Specific Recognition and Separation of Carbon Nanotubes.” The study was co-authored by DuPont researchers Ming Zheng and Xiamin Tu, with Lehigh University professor of chemical engineering Anand Jagota and student Suresh Manohar. The research was funded by a National Science Foundation grant to a collaborative team from Lehigh University, MIT and DuPont.

There has been great interest in the revolutionary electrical, mechanical and thermal properties of single walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) since their discovery in the early 1990s. However, single walled carbon nanotubes are produced as complex mixtures of different nanotube species with different properties, greatly limiting their applications. In 2003, a publication in Science by DuPont scientists, including Zheng, disclosed a method to separate carbon nanotubes using DNA. This was the first demonstration that the problem of sorting SWNTs could be solved. DuPont has continued to investigate these materials, most recently publishing a chemical approach to separating metallic and semi-conducting nanotubes in the Jan. 9 edition of Science. The current development is a significant advancement in this pioneering field, perfecting the only approach that uses biological molecules to carry out a refined sorting of carbon nanotubes, separating nanotubes with different optical, electronic and chemical properties.

“Our technique is similar to sorting snowflakes by wrapping DNA around each flake,” Zheng said. "Nanotubes come in many sizes and designs, and each type offers unique properties for uses that can range from transistors for electronics, light sources for displays or conducting films for photovoltaic materials. The difficult part of our approach is identifying which DNA sequence is most efficient at separation. Our approach was a bit like probing into the DNA library to determine sequences. Through this approach we tried over 350 sequences and identified more than 20 that showed useful separation properties.”

During the 18-month research program, Zheng and Tu set the course for the experimental work to identify the DNA sequences, and Jagota and Manohar developed the molecular models. The approach builds on the 2003 findings that a DNA sequence will wrap around a SWNT and then interact with micro-size beads in an anion exchange chromatography set-up in a way that depends on the type of nanotube to which the DNA is attached. This occurs because the carbon nanotube-DNA hybrids have different electrostatic properties that depend on the nanotubes’ diameter and electronic behavior. The latest study has determined that the interaction is dependent on both the type of nanotube and the type of DNA. As a result, the research team focused on identifying the DNA sequences that performed the best with their corresponding SWNT species. The DNA library is vast, making the chance of finding these sequences through trial-and-error exceedingly low. The research team identified an approach called “sequence expansion” to systematically explore the DNA library in a confined and progressive manner. The result was the identification of more than 20 DNA sequences that reacted favorably with 12 species of nanotubes, sorting them with purity level of 80 to 90 percent.

“We are at a historic moment when biology and materials science meet at the nano meter scale, and this opens up lots of opportunities for new science and technology development,” Zheng said. “We think this is the ultimate solution to isolate and identify every species of nanotube, allowing us to take advantage of the highest performance nanotube to create high performance nano-electronic and nano-photovoltaic materials and devices.”

DuPont Science & Technology provides technologies and transformational options for new and existing businesses, building on a long, rich legacy of leading-edge science and innovation. Products commercialized over the last five years accounted for 35 percent of the company’s total revenue.

DuPont is a science-based products and services company. Founded in 1802, DuPont puts science to work by creating sustainable solutions essential to a better, safer, healthier life for people everywhere. Operating in more than 70 countries, DuPont offers a wide range of innovative products and services for markets including agriculture and food; building and construction; communications; and transportation.

Grantham University Staff Give Back at Veterans Stand Down

Grantham University Staff Give Back at Veterans Stand Down

In honor of service members and veterans all across the world, Grantham University staff volunteered their time at the Veterans Stand Down event for homeless veterans held in Kansas City, Kansas on Friday, November 5th.

Kansas City, MO (PRWEB) November 12, 2010

In honor of service members and veterans all across the world, Grantham University staff volunteered their time at the Veterans Stand Down event for homeless veterans held in Kansas City, Kansas on Friday, November 5th. The Stand Down event is modeled after the “Stand Down” used during the Vietnam War where troops were given a break from fighting to get much needed rest, warm meals, showers and relief from battle fatigue.

Hundreds of organizations from the greater Kansas City Metro area joined forces to provide assistance and help break through the barriers that prevent homeless veterans from re-entering society and live more fulfilling lives. Homeless veterans received assistance with medical needs, substance abuse, legal issues, taxes, housing and utility assistance, family counseling, mentorships, and educational and employment opportunities. Food, clothing and toiletries were also provided.

Grantham University volunteers spent the day handing out clothing, escorting the veterans through the various aid stations, and providing hearing and vision screening.

“The Veterans Stand Down event was a very rewarding and eye opening experience,” said Joseph Gartner, marketing coordinator at Grantham University. “Too easily we get wrapped up in our own personal affairs, and this event for homeless veterans truly put things in to perspective for me.” 

Stand Down events are organized across the country by the National Coalition for Homeless Veterans (NCHV), a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. NCHV is the resource and technical assistance center for a national network of community-based service providers and local, state and federal agencies that provide support for hundreds of thousands of homeless veterans each year.

Established in 1951 by veteran Donald Grantham, Grantham University has been meeting the educational needs of service members, veterans and their families for nearly 60 years. The University supports thousands of online students in 36 different associate, bachelor’s and master’s degree programs.

Knowledge Protects: The first diagnostics system for final HIV-diagnosis on the spot

Knowledge Protects: The first diagnostics system for final HIV-diagnosis on the spot

(PRWEB) July 16, 2000

- URGENT-NEW CONCEPT OF SHIELDED TESTING PRESENTED BY GERMAN COMPANY GAIFAR

AT AIDS 2000 CONFERENCE IN DURBAN, SOUTH AFRICA

14.7.2000

Knowledge Protects: The first diagnostics system for final HIV-diagnosis on the spot

The Knowledge Protects system is on display at the GAIFAR-Sekunjalo company booth No.60, Hall1, of GAIFAR in the Exhibition Center. Sekunjalo Health Care, one of the

Largest black empowerment companies in the medical field in South Africa is the distributor of GAIFAR in South Africa.

On July 10th 2000, at the AIDS-conference in Durban, South Africa, the first rapid test system worldwide was launched, which allows performing HIV-diagnosis in developing countries, even under a palm tree, with the same precision and scientific standard as in laboratories in the western world.

For the first time, the major ethical bias against rapid testing in the field, the absence of state-of-the-art confirmation testing, is eliminated.

The system uses a very small drop of blood, which can be obtained safely and quickly obtained by tools included in the test kit. The Knowledge Protects system consists of either two or three tests. These are:

InstantScreen – an HIV-1/HI-2 screening assay which takes only 30 seconds

To perform and can therefore be used to test between up to 500 and 1000 people per day, if two nurses take blood and two persons conduct the test.

If the person is positive, InstantConfirm will be performed. This is a simple strip, which is inserted into the vial which contains the rests of the blood mixture used in the screening test (InstantScreen). After 2 minutes, the strip is transferred in a vial with the detector solution and

Develops within further 6 minutes automatically.

For the first time, a real confirmation test is provided which is identical

With the Western Blot. This method is used as confirmation test in the developed countries since 15 years and costs around 100 US $ and considerable expertise to be performed. InstantConfirm contains all major

HIV-proteins displayed as lines, the same format as in the laboratory-based Western Blot. Therefore, it answers the essential question, which needs to be answered for a real confirmation of an HIV-infection: Does the patient have also antibodies against other HIV-proteins not used in the screening

Assay? Only in this case, a false positive reaction can be excluded with

Certainty.

If the person comes from an area where HIV-2 occurs, a second test should be

Performed: DoubleCheck is addressing the question as to whether the person is infected with HIV-1 or HIV-2. In the absence of a realistic chance for therapy for many people in developing countries, this knowledge can be quite important for the counseling given, since HIV-2 infection is usually developing not as fast into AIDS as this is the case with HIV-1 infection.

Availability

InstantScreen is currently in use in large scale for HIV-testing in various African countries, including South Africa, where the test was awarded one part of the recent government tender for rapid HIV-tests. It is available in all countries where the regulatory requirements are met.

Clinical studies

Clinical studies with InstantScreen have been conducted involving more than

9000 patients. 100 % specificity and 100 % sensitivity were found, even in countries where other infectious diseases such as malaria, tuberculosis and hepatitis are prevalent. Such diseases have been found to cause false positive reactions in a number of laboratory tests.

It is planned to introduce the test, as well as all other members of the Knowledge Protects family, also in Europe and the US,

Immediately after FDA and European approvals which are scheduled for the next month.

DoubleCheck was also found to have 100 % sensitivity and specificity. While

InstantScreen allows detecting HIV antibodies in serum amounts as low as 50

Nanoliters, DoubleCheck is even more sensitive, since amounts as low as 2-5

Nanoliters can be detected. This sensitivity can be important in cases where

People are newly infected, thus having low concentrations of antibodies

Against HIV.

InstantConfirm was found to meet the criteria for a confirmation test of the

Major international health organizations and can therefore be considered a

Real alternative to laboratory based confirmation testing.

The results of some of the recent clinical studies conducted will be

Presented in the late breaker poster session on Thursday in Durban(Poster

LbPeA7011).

Price

The price of the test system will naturally depend on the infection rate of

The population to be tested. In other words, the system will become more

Expensive, if a high number of confirmation and differentiation tests

(InstantConfirm and DoubleCheck) is required. In general, however, it needs

To be noted that the price of confirmation testing has been prohibitive for

Applying the same standard of diagnostic safety to developing countries as

It is taken for granted in the developed world since more than a decade.

Therefore, the fact that the Knowledge Protects system will be offered for

Less than 10 percent of the price of laboratory based testing and

Confirmation, it will be well in the reach of the governments and private

Clinics or doctors in developing countries.

The Knowledge Protects concept: a new and thought provoking set of proposals

To contain the spread of HIV in Africa (see separate press release

14.7.2000)

In addition, the head of GAIFAR (Dr. Heinrich Repke) and Prof. E. Ayensu

Have developed the Knowledge Protects Concept, a new and thought-provoking

Way of containing the spread of HIV in Africa. This concept is outlined in

Essential elements in the attached colour booklet and will be published in

August in form of a book. Prof. Ayensu is the President of the Pan-African Union for

Science and Technology and Member of the Inspection Panel of the World Bank.

He lives in Ghana and has worked for many years as a director of the Smithonian Institution in Washington D. C. Some remarks on this concept have been made during the session “Public Policy: Implementation and Impact” on Tuesday, 11.7. in I. C.C. IV from 13.00 to 14.30, where Dr. Repke acted as a chairperson.

Archdiocese of Boston Schools Turns to Pearson for Powerful Assessments to Support Tradition of Academic Excellence

Archdiocese of Boston Schools Turns to Pearson for Powerful Assessments to Support Tradition of Academic Excellence

Stanford 10 Achievement Test Will Make Data for Connecting Assessment to Learning Easily Accessible for Educators at Large Catholic School System

Boston, MA (PRWEB) November 16, 2009

The Catholic Schools Office (CSO) of the Archdiocese of Boston, as part of its commitment to academic excellence, announced an initiative that will use a powerful assessment and data analysis tool from the education and technology company, Pearson. Beginning in March 2010, the 18,000 students in grade 2-8 throughout the Archdiocese will take the Stanford Achievement Tests 10 (Stanford 10), which will measure students’ knowledge in reading, language arts, mathematics, science and social studies, giving their teachers access to data for customizing instruction for all students. In addition, the CSO will administer Pearson's Otis-Lennon School Ability Test®, Eighth Edition (OLSAT 8) in conjunction with the Stanford 10 so that educators can compare students' performance across grade levels in their schools, giving them a complete picture of each student's overall academic potential.

The Stanford 10 from Pearson, considered the standard of excellence in achievement testing for more than 80 years, is supported by a powerful data reporting and analysis tool that will allow CSO educators to make timely, targeted instructional decisions. As a result, they will have a clear picture of the unique learning needs of all students so that they can help them achieve at their highest level.

"At Pearson, we believe that the true power of assessment is to inform instruction. When teachers and administrators have easy and immediate access to student test results, they have a window into the best strategies for improving learning for each and every student," said Mike Medernach, Pearson's Vice President for Educational Assessments for New England. "Over the weeks and months to come, we will work closely with educators from the Catholic Schools Office to help them dig deep into the data they receive from our assessments and use it to meet the unique learning needs of all of their students."
Key to the successful implementation of any new assessment program is professional development and Pearson will be the CSO’s partner as it introduces the Stanford 10 and OLSAT 8 and their capabilities to teachers. Using the train-the-trainer model, Pearson will work with teachers from across the Archdiocese to prepare them to administer the assessments and, more importantly, to develop strategies for using the resulting data to support classroom instruction.

“Academic excellence has always been a core part of the mission of the Archdiocese of Boston’s Catholic schools, and we are excited to be working on a new level with Pearson, whose curriculum programs for reading and math are also used in some of our classrooms,” said Secretary for Education/Superintendent Mary Grassa O'Neill. “Pearson will help us build a comprehensive connection between assessment and instruction that will greatly benefit students and teachers.”

Students in the Archdiocese of Boston perform above grade level across the curriculum and Catholic school teachers and administrators receive topflight professional development opportunities throughout the year. Bringing student achievement to ever higher levels is the primary reason that the Archdiocese’s Catholic Schools Office has engaged Pearson in this latest partnership.

The Catholic Schools Office undertook a year-long study of various testing and assessment options to come to its decision on the Stanford 10 and Pearson. This process involved gathering both local and national input. An assessment committee of 15 elementary school leaders, including principals, regional directors, and curriculum coordinators, developed recommendations and came up with a strategic assessment plan.

More information about the Stanford 10, OLSAT 8 and Pearson's other assessment products is available at http://www. pearsonassessments. com (http://www. pearsonassessments. com).

Skincare Trends to Combat Free Radicals: Topical Vitamin C in Skin Care Products

Skincare Trends to Combat Free Radicals: Topical Vitamin C in Skin Care Products

Skincare-News. com looks into the newest in anti-aging trends: vitamin C, or L-ascorbic acid.

Sacramento, CA (PRWEB) April 15, 2008

Vitamin C isn't just great for health; it's an excellent addition to a skincare routine. Skincare-News. com's latest article, "Vitamin C" finds the latest research on vitamin C and its benefits. http://www. skincare-news. com/articles. php? ArtID=539 (http://www. skincare-news. com/articles. php? ArtID=539)

What is it? Touted as one of the most effective topical agents against wrinkles and fines lines, vitamin C, or L-ascorbic acid, is vital for collagen production and the reduction of free radicals -- natural by-products of oxidation that can be triggered by pollutants, sunlight, stress, smoking and excessive alcohol consumption. Left untreated, free radicals damage surrounding healthy cells and cause accelerated aging, damaged skin and even cancer.

Where to find it: Although oral ingestion of vitamin C is important for health, the body eventually flushes it out, so applying topical vitamin C is the best bet for getting the skincare benefits.
Vitamin C is included in a bevy of skincare products, including anti-aging formulas, cleansers, serums and moisturizing products.

Ready to buy a vitamin C product? Keep in mind that when vitamin C is exposed to air, it undergoes oxidation and renders the product ineffective. According to Smart Skin Care, if the formulation has turned a yellowish-brown color, toss it. The unpleasant shade indicates that the product has oxidized and is therefore useless or even harmful, as vitamin C in its oxidized form might increase the development of free radicals.

Avoid the possibility of purchasing an unstable vitamin C product by choosing from a trustworthy brand, checking the expiration date and packaging and always storing it properly. In addition, select products with 10 percent of vitamin C or more.

What to expect: Though research is being done to develop a more stable formula of topical vitamin C, studies have shown vitamin C might play a role in protecting against UV damage and sunburn and activating collagen production. In the meantime, as mentioned above, not all vitamin C products are created equal; many of the products on the market contain low concentrations of vitamin C and don't even penetrate the skin, so people might not get the results advertised. It's important to be especially diligent when choosing a vitamin C product that actually works.

Skincare-News. com covers all skincare and beauty topics from head to toe. Check out these latest articles:

Growing Pains: Acne
Http://www. skincare-news. com/articles. php? ArtID=477 (http://www. skincare-news. com/articles. php? ArtID=477)
For most of us, by the time we have reached the age of 20, we have suffered some sort of blemish or breakout. What causes these breakouts? Like everything else in adolescence, hormones may be blamed for a lot of these changes. And even though they may seem heart-wrenching or embarrassing, don't despair. Acne flare ups can be controlled and even beaten with a few simple adjustments to a daily skincare routine.

My, What Bumpy Arms You Have!
Http://www. skincare-news. com/articles. php? ArtID=354 (http://www. skincare-news. com/articles. php? ArtID=354)
Characterized by whitish bumps which are clustered on the backs of the upper arms, and sometimes referred to as 'chicken skin', keratosis pilaris is neither contagious nor harmful, but can be irritating, annoying and frustrating to treat, as no real cure exists. Even though there is no known cure for keratosis pilaris, there are many products available to treat a flare-up, and even to smooth away the bumpy symptoms of this condition.

Think Before You Buy, Part I: Natural and Organic Skin Care
Http://www. skincare-news. com/articles. php? ArtID=482 (http://www. skincare-news. com/articles. php? ArtID=482)
Recently, studies have shown that companies are legally allowed to put things into their skincare products that would never be allowed in foods. The skin acts as a barrier between the inside and the outside world, filtering out the bad and taking in the good. The products that are put on the skin will, to some degree, be absorbed into the body and circulate throughout the bloodstream. Fragrances and preservatives are the two main causes of allergic reactions to skin care products. This is where natural and organic skincare come in. Organic and natural products have been hailed as the solution to dangerous ingredients in beauty products. But what's the truth behind these harder to find and more expensive natural and organic products?

First Ever Children's Wear-Moldable Arch Support Insoles Made by KidZerts

First Ever Children's Wear-Moldable Arch Support Insoles Made by KidZerts

KidZerts has created the first wear-moldable arch support insoles for children. These ground-breaking children's insoles slowly mold to the unique contours of the bottom of each foot and will support children’s growing feet to reduce chances of pain. KidZerts have a doctor-recommended design and can only benefit your child's feet.

San Diego, CA (PRWEB) August 29, 2010

KidZerts has created the first wear-moldable arch support insoles for children. These innovative children’s insoles slowly mold to the unique contours of the bottom of each foot. KidZerts insoles were designed by a team that includes a podiatrist, a pedorthist and specialists in the manufacturing of insoles, who recognized that most children’s insoles lack features that are imperative for kids’ foot health and development.

Since most shoe companies consider a thin, flat layer of foam suitable as an insert for children’s shoes, KidZerts recognized the need for important features to stabilize and comfort their growing feet, including an arch support, a stabilizing heel cup and cushioning.

“There is no harm in wearing KidZerts insoles – only benefits,” Barbara Adams, Certified Pedorathist, said.

KidZerts children’s arch support insoles (http://www. healthyfeetstore. com/kidzerts-childrens-arch-support-insoles. html) are designed with the best, high-quality materials and features that podiatrists and pediatricians look for in children’s insoles. These features include an EVA moldable sublayer that will slowly mold to the child’s foot while he/she wears it, an anti-microbial top cover that kills ordor-causing bacteria and wicks moisture, a heel cup for stability and alignment, a broad heel seat for additional foot comfort, a beveled forefoot for a smooth transition and a moderate arch for support and alignment.

“These insoles have all the features that make up a healthy arch support insole for children,” said Dr. Jeffrey Hurless, podiatrist and foot/ankle surgeon.

KidZerts’ doctor-recommended contoured design allows contact with the entire arch, therefore spreading the body’s weight over the entire base of the foot. This will help prevent children from being heel-strikers or overpronators, which can cause foot pain and injuries later in life. These arch support insoles will provide support for the child’s arch during strenuous activities, such as running and jumping, and extra cushion to the heel to help shock absorption. A large adhesive strip is located on the bottom of the insole so that it can be securely placed inside a shoe.

“When you put arch support insoles in your children’s shoes, it’s like you’ve upgraded them,” Adams said. “Arch supports – not corrective insoles – are appropriate for anyone. They add a layer of comfort for children and adults alike.”

About KidZerts: KidZerts is the first company to create wear-moldable arch support insoles for children. Melissa Kumler, mother of two young children with a B. S. degree in Kinesiology, a podiatrist, a pedorthist and a specialist in the design and manufacture of insoles teamed up to create foot care products for children that doctors will recommend, but not have to prescribe. KidZerts believes that knowledge about foot health can lead to prevention of future foot and foot-related problems. It’s important to pay attention to your children’s feet while they are growing and vulnerable. To find out more information about this amazing product, please visit www. kidzerts. com.

College Students with Bad Credit Can Now Afford College with Credit Challenged Scholarship from SpendOnLife. com

College Students with Bad Credit Can Now Afford College with Credit Challenged Scholarship from SpendOnLife. com

SpendOnLife. com will award up to 10 scholarships, ranging from $500 to $5,000, to students who have been rejected for a student loan because of their negative credit or the current credit crunch.

Dallas, TX (PRWEB) June 1, 2009

30% of college students wind up putting some portion of their tuition on a credit card, according to the latest study from Sallie Mae. In fact, half of all college students say they feel anxiety about being able to pay off monthly credit card debt.

Turning to credit cards is often the unfortunate result of the tightened financial aid market. And while student loans are getting harder and harder to qualify for, tuition just keeps going up.

Many students are turning to private companies to try to bridge the gap. Private scholarships are often merit-based, awarding money based on grades or performance in a particular area of study. But one company, SpendOnLife. com (http://www. spendonlife. com), had a different idea.

"We wanted to give students who have made a few mistakes with their credit a second chance," says Keith Lauren of SpendOnLife. com, a website dedicated to educating consumers about the pitfalls of credit. "Most kids don't receive formal education about how to use credit cards wisely, either from their parents or in school. Before they know it, their credit rating is in the gutter."

SpendOnLife is offering a "Credit Challenged" scholarship to those students affected by poor credit. This doesn't necessarily mean the student has to have a bad credit score to apply. "It could just mean that their parents' poor financial situation means no extra money for school," explains Keith.

SpendOnLife. com will award up to 10 scholarships, ranging from $500 to $5,000, to students aged 17-25 who have been rejected for a student loan because of their negative credit or that of their parents. Applications are being accepted online only, through June 15th. For more details on how to apply, visit http://students. spendonlife. com/blogging-scholarship (http://students. spendonlife. com/blogging-scholarship).

SpendOnLife. com is an online credit services provider that offers the tools and information needed to achieve healthy credit. SpendonLife. com makes it easy to get your free credit report and score (http://www. spendonlife. com) to see how you rate. We also offer credit monitoring services and identity theft education (http://www. spendonlife. com). Our goal is to help consumers and students build and maintain a positive credit rating.

Black Mold and Mildew Stains Go Green: Earthpaint Offers Powerful New Paint For U. S. Flood Damage Affected Families Doing Mold Abatement

Black Mold and Mildew Stains Go Green: Earthpaint Offers Powerful New Paint For U. S. Flood Damage Affected Families Doing Mold Abatement

Toxic black mold and mildew are notoriously difficult for flood damage victims to deal with. Lime Prime paints directly over black mold and mildew stains and keeps the surface clean. This is something new and simple that flood damage victims may want to do themselves during the mold abatement process.

Asheville, NC (PRWEB) October 22, 2010

According to FEMA, flooding is the single most common disaster, yet mold abatement help can be hard to find. After the flood, families return home and see black mold and mildew growing abundantly. Flood damage affected families are beginning to turn to an old remedy: lime based paint from http://www. earthpaint. net.

Earthpaint’s Lime Prime easily paints on wall cavities, HVAC and directly over black mold and mildew stains. Untold numbers of families have been forced from their homes due to black mold and mildew. Lime Prime is something families can do themselves or better yet, in combination with professional mold abatement if possible.

“Using a natural, zero-VOC paint like Lime Prime makes sense. It’s fast, easy, and surfaces need painting anyway after a flood,” says Eric Scheider, VP Marketing at Earthpaint.

After a flood, the musty smells start. This musty air may contain toxic black mold and mildew spores which can be measured by a mold sampler. FEMA and the EPA provide excellent guidelines which suggest using a mold remediation contractor when mold damage gets beyond certain limits. IICRC certified, professional mold remediation, while very necessary, is simply not possible for many property owners recovering from a flood. Certainly, professional mold abatement cannot be replaced by paint alone. Still, for those who are faced with illness or homelessness, Lime Prime is a welcome addition to the tools at hand.

Lime Prime successfully eliminates black mold and mildew stains and can keep surfaces clean for years to come. The paint is made from mineral lime. Lime has been used for centuries by farmers to deal with black mold and mildew in barns. European homes have traditionally been coated with lime wash due to its easy application and clean appearance. Mediterranean homes are famous for the crisp white lime washed domes contrasted against the bright blue Mediterranean Sea. Lime Prime employs the same age-old lime wash approach but improves it with modern technological advances to make a thick, rich, white primer.

With zero voc’s, a mineral base and a low ecological footprint, Lime Prime is perfect for anyone with “Green” ideals. At the same time it is a seriously strong primer that can take on the very toughest black mold and mildew stains. It can also be used as the primer coat on the entire house. Lime Prime offers a solution that most every homeowner can apply themselves. It’s great that it paints on, right over the black mold and mildew stains but it’s even better that Lime Prime stays clean and doesn’t contain any poison.

To purchase Lime Prime to use after mold abatement visit http://www. earthpaint. net.

Pharmacists Speaking Out On the Over-Distribution of the Oxys, Roxies and Blueberries -- This Week on The Prescription Addiction Radio Show -- Breaking the Silence, July 20, WGUL 860 AM, Tampa, Florida

Pharmacists Speaking Out On the Over-Distribution of the Oxys, Roxies and Blueberries -- This Week on The Prescription Addiction Radio Show -- Breaking the Silence, July 20, WGUL 860 AM, Tampa, Florida

"The unscrupulous distribution of addictive and dangerous prescription drugs continues to increase in our country," according to Larry G, host of The Prescription Addiction Radio Show, and this week guest pharmacists will be speaking out on the challenges our society has in stopping the growing prescription drug misuse in our country, on The Prescription Addiction Radio Show on WGUL 860 AM on Sunday night, July 20 - 9:05 p. m. Eastern.

Tampa, Florida (PRWEB) July 14, 2008

The evidence of a growing prescription drug epidemic continues to increase in our country, according to Larry G, host of The Prescription Addiction Radio Show (www. prescriptionaddictionradio. com) and this Sunday night guest pharmacists will be speaking out on the show on WGUL 860 AM on July 20 at 9:05 p. m. eastern (streamed live on the Internet at http://www.860wgul. com (http://www.860wgul. com)).

Larry G explains, "The drug companies call them pain pills and the drug addicts call them Oxys, Roxies and Blueberries. The doctors call them alprazolam and on the street they are called Ladders, Bars and Totem Poles, but horribly it is now estimated that deaths that include prescription drugs are surpassing deaths from guns in the United States."

Statistics published from the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), Center on Addiction and Substance Abuse (CASA), the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMSHA), the Drug Abuse Warning Network (DAWN), the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), National Institute of Health (NIH) and a myriad of additional organizations that include national, state and local contingencies, all echo the growing problem of addiction and death.

For the citizens in Florida, the most startling statistics were released recently by the Florida Medical Examiners. A record 8,620 drug-related deaths were reported in 2007, an increase of 11% over 2006. As in recent years, about 69% of the deaths included prescription drugs with Methadone, Benzodiazepines, Oxycodone, Hydrocodone, and Morphine making up the vast majority of deaths that included a prescription drug.

The "Prescription Addiction Radio Show - Breaking the Silence" focuses on the damage and destruction too many prescription drugs are doing to families in our country. Whether it is discussing the loss of a loved one, the over-prescribing by a doctor or a complicit pharmacist, the radio show covers all aspects of prescription drug misuse. Larry G, the outspoken pharmacist and radio host is quick to zero in on what he calls "the over-marketing and over-selling of addictive prescription drugs, along with the creation of the growing ranks of medical charlatans who freely prescribe and distribute the thousands of pills that are reaching our streets on a daily basis. In Tampa Bay, it is well known that $300 cash will buy you a prescription for oxycodone, the therapeutic equivalent of heroin, from an unscrupulous doctor."

Pharmacists have long been recognized by surveys year after year as being one of the most trusted professions in our country. Find out Sunday night if your pharmacist can be trusted or has willingly become the middleman in the drug deal.

About The Prescription Addiction Radio Show ++ Breaking the Silence: http://www. prescriptionaddictionradio. com (http://www. prescriptionaddictionradio. com)

Hosted by Larry G, a registered pharmacist for over 30 years, The Prescription Addiction Radio Show, sponsored by Novus Medical Detox (http://www. novusdetox. com (http://www. novusdetox. com)), is dedicated to the thousands of families who are being or have been affected by the misuse of prescription drugs.

The Prescription Addiction Radio Show is dedicated to exploring some of the challenges we face in trying to turn the explosion in the misuse of prescription drugs around.

The Prescription Addiction Radio Show believes that addiction is a predisposed disease, whether created by poor personal choices or created from following the advice of your doctor. No individual wishes it upon themselves.
