Air Ionizer - Why Negative Ions are Good for You!

Air Ionizer - Why Negative Ions are Good for You!

The innovative Tisserand Vaporising Ioniser provides both fresh clean air through the release of billions of electrons are generated by the ionising points of the Tisserand Vaporising Ioniser As they collide with air molecules, they release a cascade of healthy refreshing negative ions which revitalise the air helping to restore a healthy balance of ions in the home or workplace. Its benefits are further enhanced when used with pure essential oils to create the most wonderful, stress free and mood enhancing sensations.

(PRWEB) October 26, 2004

Recent research into so called sick building syndrome has suggested that the air in sealed centrally heated homes and air conditioned offices is often very dry and can make us drowsy, lethargic and lack concentration and can even cause headaches, hay fever and ‘heavy headedness’. That’s because the air contains electrically charged particles called ions, which get charged positively as a result of central heating, air conditioning, cigarette smoke, hot electrical equipment such as computers as well as overcrowding. Any natural calming and relaxing environment such as the top of a hill, by the sea or waterfall can have around 40,000 negative ions per cubic cm – whereas in the home or office – it could have as few as 40!!.

The innovative Tisserand Vaporising Ioniser from LivingisEasy. co. uk provides both fresh clean air through the release of billions of electrons are generated by the ionising points of the Tisserand Vaporising Ioniser As they collide with air molecules, they release a cascade of healthy refreshing negative ions which revitalise the air helping to restore a healthy balance of ions in the home or workplace. Its benefits are further enhanced when used with pure essential oils to create the most wonderful, stress free and mood enhancing sensations.

The Tisserand Vaporising Ioniser Enjoy the benefits of cleaner, fresher ionised air enriched by natural aromatherapy oils.

Negative ions are produced naturally outdoors and are plentiful in mountainous regions beside waterfalls, near the\sea and after thunderstorms when the air feels fresh and invigorating.

You may have noticed when a thunderstorm approaches the air becomes heavy and you may feel ‘under the weather’. Headaches often occur then after the storm has\passed you feel much better. This is because the storm upsets the natural electrical balance of the air. On approach the air becomes positively charged. After the storm has passed, the air is left full of negative ions which makes it feel so much more refreshing.

The use of synthetic fibres, plastics, electrical equipment air-conditioned offices and structural steel buildings all either drain away negative ions or produce positive charges contributing further to the ion imbalance. In fact where at the top of a mountain or hill, by the sea or waterfall there’s an abundance of around 80,000 negative air ions per cubic cm – compared to say the home or office – there could be as few as 40!!.

By restoring a more natural and healthy ion balance the incidence of headaches and migraines can be reduced while alertness and concentration is improved. Ionisers can also significantly reduce the feeling of stuffiness in a heated room with many heating and ventilation systems being notorious for the positive ions they produce.

Creating a negative charge in the atmosphere removes particles of smoke, dust, pollen, and bacteria as they are introduced by precipitation. For example as somebody sits on a sofa, dust typically is raised into the air. This dust then acquires a negative charge and moves directly to the closest earth usually the floor.

Unlike an air filter the ioniser is non location specific. Once the negative charge has been established dust removal occurs everywhere in the room. With an air filter dust is obviously only removed from the air in the vicinity of the unit. The size of the particles removed are also limited to the grade and specification of the filter itself.

An ioniser will tend to benefit the room in which it is placed. Most people seeking all day benefit will be best served by having one in the bedroom and one in the living room. With an air filter dust is obviously only removed from the air in the vicinity of the unit. The size of particles removed are also limited to the grade and specification of the filter itself.

The greatest benefit will be found nearest the ioniser where the concentration of ions in the air is highest – so in a bedroom for example the ioniser is best positioned close to the head of the bed.

New Nutrition Handbook Takes the Guesswork Out of Maintaining a Healthy Weight and Shapely Figure during Menopause

New Nutrition Handbook Takes the Guesswork Out of Maintaining a Healthy Weight and Shapely Figure during Menopause

Based on nutritionist and author Marcy Gregory's private practice and personal experience, Lose the Belly Fat is like having a personal nutritionist available 24/7.

Palm Desert, CA (PRWEB) March 14, 2008

Lose the Belly Fat, a new book by nutritionist Marcy S. Gregory, takes a practical and remarkable approach to unexpected weight gain experienced by many women prior to and during menopause. At 45, Gregory was motivated to look into perimenopause and its side effects, specifically abdominal weight gain despite exercise and proper nutrition, and the accompanying frustration and even despair. A chance meeting with an older woman experiencing these symptoms inspired her to focus on premenopause during her graduate studies of human nutrition.

Lose the Belly Fat is a pocketbook gem for not only perimenopausal women but also for "anyone, at any age, trying to learn how to eat correctly," according to Jeralyn Brossfield, M. D., of Rancho Mirage Women's Health Center. Gregory has kept this handbook brief and to the point for the purpose of accessibility and easy reference, offering a basic explanation of the reason for abdominal weight gain as well as suggestions readers will actually want to use for meals at home and when eating out.

From preventative tips to effective weight loss and maintenance for those experiencing upsetting weight gain, Lose the Belly Fat offers relief for women who are already overwhelmed with a host of symptoms associated with menopause, making the overall experience more manageable.

For more information or to request a free review copy, members of the press can contact the author at MarcysanMS@aol. com. Lose the Belly Fat is available for sale online at Amazon. com, BookSurge. com, and through additional wholesale and retail channels worldwide.

About the Author
With an M. S. in human nutrition from the University of New Haven, Marcy S. Gregory has been a nutritionist in private practice since 2000. She specializes in teaching women to skillfully handle weight gain associated with menopause and age, having implemented her own recommendations successfully. She lives in California with her husband of 30 years.

Arizona Joins Growing Movement Against Medicaid Circumcisions

Arizona Joins Growing Movement Against Medicaid Circumcisions

Arizona became the seventh state to eliminate Medicaid funding for infant circumcision this week, as Governor Jane Hull allowed the stateÂ’s budget to become law without her signature. Currently, Medicaid programs in California, Oregon, Washington, Nevada, North Dakota, Mississippi do not cover circumcision.

Arizona Joins Growing Movement Against Medicaid Circumcisions

PHOENIX – Arizona became the seventh state to eliminate Medicaid funding for infant circumcision this week, as Governor Jane Hull allowed the state’s budget to become law without her signature. Currently, Medicaid programs in California, Oregon, Washington, Nevada, North Dakota, Mississippi, and many private HMOs serving Medicaid recipients, as well as some private insurance companies do not cover circumcision. In the past year, Arizona Medicaid paid for 12,600 boys to be circumcised at an average cost of $132 per boy and a total cost of $1.66 million.

Circumcision has grown increasingly controversial in recent years as mounting evidence indicates that any potential or slight benefits are outweighed by the surgical risks, pain, complications, and lifetime consequences of circumcision. Despite the fact that circumcision is not recommended by any national or international medical organization in the world, Medicaid pays for 25% of all US newborn circumcisions.

A 2001 report issued by the International Coalition for Genital Integrity (ICGI) documents Medicaid wastes tens of millions of dollars per year on circumcision (www. icgi. org). ICGI Co-Director Dr. Rio Cruz states, “It is simply deplorable that our government uses healthcare tax dollars to subsidize a cultural procedure that causes pain, long-term harm, and violates a child’s right to bodily integrity.”

Lawn Griffiths of Tempe praised the Arizona decision, saying, “I’m relieved my state no longer pays for such intrusive, maiming surgery. I left my son intact 27 years ago, and I shouldn’t have to pay to harm other little boys.”

Taxpayer complaints about government funding of infant circumcisions have stimulated legislative activity nationwide. Bills have recently been introduced in Missouri, Michigan, and New Mexico to cease Medicaid funding of these procedures.

North Carolina also has infant circumcision on its list of potential budget cuts. Keith Webb and his wife, Alice, were receiving Medicaid six years ago when their first son was born. “We weren’t provided any information, we were just asked to sign a form, and he was circumcised. We were appalled to later learn no anesthesia had been used. Our son had numerous complications that we had to deal with for two years. We had been grossly misled. If Medicaid hadn’t covered circumcision, we would never have done this to our son.” Taxpayers and those morally opposed to circumcision have joined together in North Carolina to protest this budget expense. A full-page open letter to the Governor and state legislature, published in the May 8th issue of widely distributed Raleigh news magazine and signed by 112 NC citizens, urged that public funds not be used for non-therapeutic circumcisions (www. cirp. org/news/ncopenletter05-08-02/ (http://www. cirp. org/news/ncopenletter05-08-02/)).

Most states are experiencing budget deficits and increasing Medicaid costs. Grassroots efforts are escalating to eliminate tax-dollar funding of circumcision.

The Mills Group LLC Announces ElderCare/PrimePlus Service

The Mills Group LLC Announces ElderCare/PrimePlus Service

The Mills Group LLC ("TMG"), based in Scotch Plains, New Jersey, announced today that the firm is now offering ElderCare/PrimePlus services. ElderCare/PrimePlus is a service wherein the staff of TMG will act as the eyes and ears of absent family members to ensure that elderly persons can remain living independently, with dignity, and assured of receiving the care and services for which they are paying.

Scotch Plains, New Jersey (PRWEB) July 30, 2009

The Mills Group LLC ("TMG") announced today that the firm is now offering ElderCare/PrimePlus services. ElderCare/PrimePlus is a service wherein the staff of TMG will act as the eyes and ears of absent family members to ensure that elderly persons can remain living independently, with dignity, and assured of receiving the care and services for which they are paying.

TMG recognizes that as America ages, many elderly persons in the community no longer have family members nearby to assist them with independent living. Family members living in other communities are concerned that their elderly loved ones receive proper care and services and that they are not taken advantage of by unscrupulous parties who prey on the elderly. Therefore, this service is being offered to assist the elderly in meeting their needs as well as to inform their family members of the needs of their elderly relatives and the degree to which those needs are being met by the proper caregivers.

TMG can assist the elderly, or their family members, in assessing the assistance required for independent living, help them locate and employ the appropriate caregivers in the community, and monitor the caregivers to make sure the proper level of care agreed upon is being received. The staff of TMG will work with other professionals (home health services, lawyers, repairmen, and others) to actually give the needed care and services. The firm will monitor the services provided by others and report to the client and family members on a montly basis or as may be warranted. The firm will also be available to monitor income and investments, account for the estate, pay bills authorized by the elderly person or appropriate family members, and accumulate and provide information to the proper persons in the event of unusual or unforeseen circumstances. A qualified firm associate will be assigned as the primary party in each engagement to ensure that a relationship builds between the elderly person and the firm's associate. This will enable the firm associate to be able to report to family members if additional or different assistance appears to be needed.

Darren J Mills of TMG stated that ElderCare/PrimePlus is a natural extension of the work they have been doing for their clients in the areas of tax return preparation, personal financial planning, accounting services and estate planning. "Although long-term institutional care may be the only answer for some elderly persons," he said, "we recognize that many of our elderly clients can, with the proper assistance, live out their lives in the comfort of their own homes. Nevertheless, we realize that for many of these persons, taking care of the daily demands of independent living may become too burdensome. We feel that ElderCare/PrimePlus Services offer the right mix of protection and assistance to help the golden years truly be happy ones." Please check out our website at www. tmg-llc. com or please feel free to call us at 908-663-2110 to discuss our ElderCare/PrimePlus service offering.

How to Really Screw Up the Diet in '09... And Wind Up Being Healthy

How to Really Screw Up the Diet in '09... And Wind Up Being Healthy

Americans face every January with renewed resolutions to fight the fat, battle the bulge, handle the love handles. And yet, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention report that our obesity rates increase each year.

Pittsburgh, PA (Vocus) December 24, 2008

Americans face every January with renewed resolutions to fight the fat, battle the bulge, handle the love handles. And yet, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention report that our obesity rates increase each year.

What’s wrong with this picture?

Dr. Will Clower, author of “The Fat Fallacy: Applying the French Diet to the American Lifestyle” and founder of The PATH Curriculum simplifies the complexities of healthy eating, boiling complicated ideas into easily digestible bites, always with a sense of humor. He has released for his list of the “Top Ten Tips” for royally screwing up the diet in the coming year, with the hope that all of us fail miserably:

1. Follow the fad. Be on the lookout for the newest of all the new diets – the more esoteric and absurd the better. Think cabbage soup, peanut butter and fat-be-gone rings. Statistically speaking, these have failed so often that sooner or later they must finally work.

2. Master speed eating. Speed-eat so food spends more time in the gullet than in the mouth. Otherwise, you’ll taste your low-whatever, cardboard-flavored food product. Remember, the goal is to do anything but enjoy food, so be sure to gobble it down in 10 minutes or less.

3. Find the food condoms. Plastic-wrapped food is what to look for. If it’s found in a pre-packaged form, eat it. If you have no idea how long it has been on a shelf, eat it. If all of the items in the case look exactly the same, like they are all stamped out of the same food widget mold – go for it.

4. Eat all the time. Graze. Think bovine thoughts. Start with five to six small meals, and work up from there. At some point, you’ll wind up eating all day. At that point, you’re really only having one meal per day. Keeping snack foods in desk drawers – not to mention in vehicles – is encouraged.

5. Eat on the go. Eat in the car, while standing, wherever. Just keep moving so calories are burned as they are shoveled in. Eating in a rush and huff is fantastic because it never allows the body to digest food – no digestion, no calories!

6. Never mind. Eat at the desk, alone, while working. Eat while watching TV at night while being distracted by the latest episode of “The Biggest Loser.”

7. Pursue platter portions. Serve meals on the largest plate available. Turn over a garbage can lid, if available and make sure to completely fill the space with whatever can be ladled into it. Remember this equation: more diet food = more diet = more weight loss. Do the math.

8. Bite the big one. Take huge bites. Squirrel packing cheek pockets will ensure that more weight is lost, in time to fit into a fantasy bathing suit by June.

9. Practice gastro-physics. Eat a candy bar and follow-up it with a diet product. For example, diet sodas and Snickers are dietary matter and anti-matter, cancelling each other out. So eat something naughty and chase it down with a Diet Coke or two.

10. Go for the glo. Focus on foods that look like they originated in outer space. Think day-glo pink, neon orange. Those nuclear-yellow marshmallow “peeps” are an ideal screw-up-the-diet food. What’s the reasoning? The people on this planet are too fat. Is there such thing as an overweight Martian?

Both Dr. Clower’s Culture of Health and PATH programs make the results of a healthy Mediterranean lifestyle–low weight, healthy hearts, and longer lives–accessible to Americans. Further details on Dr. Clower can be found at www. willclower. com.

American Psychiatric Association to Spotlight Symposium on 'Hot Topics in Afro-American Mental Health'

American Psychiatric Association to Spotlight Symposium on 'Hot Topics in Afro-American Mental Health'

This year the American Psychiatric Association will spotlight several sensitive issues facing the African American community, at its annual meeting in New Orleans, Louisiana, May 22-26. Leading the team is David W. Smith, M. D., Addiction Psychiatrist with the Center for AIDS Research, Education and Services in Sacramento, California.

New Orleans, LA (PRWEB) March 10, 2010

Dr. Smith and his team will present challenges in treating blacks in mental health, HIV and other taboo topics including, HIV and African American men ‘on the down low.’ The Center for Disease Control defines the phrase, ‘on the down low’ or ‘on the DL,’ as the ‘behavior of men who have sex with other men as well as women and who do not identify as gay or bisexual.’ The risks associated with this activity present widespread challenges for HIV prevention professionals. The stigma of homosexuality and the secretive nature of this problem results in a number of women showing up in clinics around the country diagnosed with HIV.

In the general population, “there is an alarming over-representation of Afro-Americans in the United States living with HIV and a large number have critical mental health needs as well,” says Dr. Smith. Mental health concerns in African Americans are supported by the frequently misdiagnosis for schizophrenia rather than a more accurate diagnosis of bipolar disorder or other affective disorders in non-HIV patients.

William Lawson, M. D., Ph. D., DFAPA, Professor and Chairman of the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at Howard University College of Medicine and Hospital, Washington, D. C., will address the unique psychopharmacological findings in the black community. One of the common challenges in treating and identifying mental disorders, according to Dr. Lawson is the ‘lack of research participation by African American patients and investigators in treatment development.’ Patients are suspicious and providers fail to engage the patient in discussions of these problems.

There is a glaring deficit in the use of mental health services by African Americans in the United States. According to a 1999 Surgeon General’s Report:
 Overall, only one-third of Americans with mental illness or a mental health problem get care. Yet, the percentage of African Americans receiving needed care is only half that of non-Hispanic whites. One study reported that nearly 60% of older African American adults were not receiving needed services.

 Nearly 1 in 4 African Americans is uninsured, compared to 16% of the U. S. population. Rates of employer-based health coverage are just over 50% for employed African Americans, compared to over 70% for employed non-Hispanic whites. Medicaid covers nearly 21% of African Americans.

Another expert presenter on the team, Janet Taylor, M. D., Clinical Instructor of Psychiatry at Columbia University affiliated Harlem Hospital in New York, and frequent contributor to CBS “The Early Show,” and NBC “The Today Show.” Dr. Taylor will discuss Women’s Mental Health issues. African American women are least likely of all subgroups to seek help in mental health issues. Their reasons may include; lack of insurance, mistrust of the medical community or reliance on family and religious support instead of seeking medical help. As a contributor to O, the Oprah Magazine, Dr. Taylor’s involvement from a grassroots effort is where she makes the most impact in the community. “Being on the frontline with individuals and their families battling the emotional and economic impact of mental illness is where I can make a difference,” says Dr. Taylor.

Harriet Washington, award-winning bioethics journalist and author of “Medical Apartheid,” will discuss the Impact of Past and Current Prejudices. In her book, Washington dissects the dark history of medical experimentation on African Americans from colonial times to the present. She discusses the past and present ethical issues in the treatment of individuals suffering from mental illness and chemical dependency in America. Medical Apartheid clearly paints a vivid, yet disturbing, picture of why African Americans have an innate mistrust of the medical establishment. Washington chronicles the history of African Americans being used as human guinea pigs in experiments from, Thomas Jefferson exposing hundreds of slaves to an untried smallpox vaccine before using it on whites, to the infamous Tuskegee Syphilis Study, in which black syphilitic men were observed, but not treated in order to document the long term effects of the disease.

Although most of the symposium will focus on African American mental health issues, a segment headed by Zack Cernovsky, Ph. D., Professor of Psychiatry at the University of Western Ontario, Canada, will discuss the issues from a Canadian perspective. Dr. Cernovsky will describe the attempt of the current head of the infamous Pioneer Fund, J. P. Rushton, to influence physicians and psychiatrists, to believe in the genetic inferiority of blacks. The Pioneer Fund is a non-profit organization, established in 1937, to advance the scientific study of heredity and human differences. Scientific scrutiny shows that Rushton’s methodology (e. g., measuring head circumference by tape as a substitute for IQ tests) and his generalizations from inadequate samples discredit his work. According to Cernovsky, “his books have probably misled at least some physicians.” These physicians may resort to discriminatory practices in their clinical decisions about black patients.

Mental health professionals and psychiatrists are uniquely positioned to assist patients in improving mental and physical health. The overall goal of the symposium is to provide a better understanding and awareness of the inimitable challenges in treating the African American mental health patient.

Chanson Water USA Launches 'Harnessing the Healing Power of Nature Campaign: Education and Aid Concerning the Benefits of Ionized Water

Chanson Water USA Launches 'Harnessing the Healing Power of Nature Campaign: Education and Aid Concerning the Benefits of Ionized Water

Chanson Water USA, (www. chansonalkalinewater. com), a leading distributor of ionizers for individuals, families and businesses, announces its Harnessing the Healing Power of Nature campaign on behalf of improving the quality of drinking water worldwide. This undertaking will inform the public about the benefits of alkaline ionized water, while drawing important attention to the poor quality of tap water in both the developed world and emerging nations.

Laguna Hills, CA (PRWEB) September 28, 2010

Chanson Water USA, (www. chansonalkalinewater. com), a leading distributor of ionizers for individuals, families and businesses, announces its Harnessing the Healing Power of Nature campaign on behalf of improving the quality of drinking water worldwide. This undertaking will inform the public about the benefits of alkaline ionized water, while drawing important attention to the poor quality of tap water in both the developed world and emerging nations.

"Water is the very essence of life, but tens of millions of Americans either consume contaminated tap water or overpriced bottled water. The former is a moral affront to our environment, while the latter represents the triumph of marketing over common sense. Alkaline ionized water is, instead, an alternative to these two false choices: this emphasis on science - supported by medical research, analysis and independent testimonials from around the globe - distinguishes the power of ionized water from other types of drinking water. These facts, complemented by the positive role alkaline ionized water may play in alleviating the effects of various illnesses, are cause for praise. In fact, a simple ionizer may mean the difference between improved health and the status quo. I encourage people to visit www. chansonalkalinewater. com to learn more about the benefits of alkaline ionized water and our commitment to personal wellness," says Ronnie Ruiz, President and CEO of Chanson Water USA.

Chanson Water in Action: Great Taste with Every Glass
Chanson Water is a preferred choice for delicious, high quality drinking water. "Our success is inseparable from our credibility, which is the result of our educational seminars and research. In fact, we consistently demonstrate the positive attributes of alkaline ionized water, starting with the way the body consumes and absorbs this resource. Best of all, alkaline ionized water is like health insurance from your tap," states Nedalee Ruiz, Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of Chanson Water USA.

About Chanson Water USA
Headquartered in Southern California, Chanson Water USA distributes an acclaimed series of ionizers for a diverse group of individual, commercial, public and private customers internationally. The company also documents the many ways ionized water is different from and superior to ordinary tap water or bottled water. Chanson Water is at the forefront in its mission to give people value, quality and the healthiest - and most accessible - means of ionized water possible. On these principles, Chanson Water is a pioneer in technology and wellness.

The Knot Inc. (NASDAQ: KNOT), www. theknotinc. com, the owners of The Knot Wedding Network, which includes the Internet’s largest wedding websites and communities TheKnot. com and WeddingChannel. com, announced the release of its first annual Registry Study today. A first-of-its-kind, comprehensive look inside the registry process, The Knot Market Intelligence 2008 Registry Study provides actionable and detailed analysis around registry behaviors, motivations, and attitudes.

NEW YORK (PRWEB) November 12, 2008

Conducted in 2008, the Registry Study captures perspectives from more than 12,000 brides-to-be and newlyweds; this robust sample allows for both category and granular analyses, including dissection at the retailer and brand level. The research was specifically designed to generate insights about not only "pocketbook and process" but also participants' "hearts and minds."

This research is part of The Knot Market Intelligence Bridal Series, a quarterly suite of studies offering unparalleled insight into an array of bridal categories. The series launched in early 2008 with its first study, Honeymoon Travel. Upcoming studies include Beauty, Fashion, Health & Fitness, Jewelry, and Destination Weddings. Topline data highlights from The Knot Market Intelligence 2008 Registry Study are viewable at the company's corporate website, www. theknotinc. com, and complete custom analyses and reports are available for purchase.

"Given The Knot Wedding Network's robust membership base, which represents more than 70 percent of brides online, there's no other company that has the ability to offer such comprehensive, in-depth bridal data," said Miriam Alexander, Vice President, Head of Insights & Analytics at The Knot Inc. "The Knot Inc. Landmark Studies are a huge asset to companies looking to understand the decisions that engaged couples make during the wedding planning process and we're thrilled to be able to offer them this opportunity."

Selected Highlights From The Knot Market Intelligence 2008 Registry Study

Registry Planning & Store Selection

Bed Bath & Beyond, Target, and Macy's lead the pack in bridal registries. Couples set up their registry 6 months before their wedding date, on average. 2 out of 3 grooms are involved in the registry process. 6 out of 10 couples say there was at least one other person who helped them with their registry choices; Mom was the most influential. 40% of couples say their guest list impacted where they chose to register. What's in the Registry

To-be-weds register for 142 items, with price points ranging from $11 to $442. Kitchen and bed & bath items are the most popular registry categories. Nearly 40% of registry items are products a couple really wants but doesn't necessarily need. Guests & Gifting

Half of engaged couples claim there were items they wanted to add to their registry but didn't because of price. 69% of a couple's wedding gifts come from their registry. According to newlyweds, 11% of guests, on average, do not give a gift.

Lotto Millionaire Returns to Limerick

Lotto Millionaire Returns to Limerick

LimerickÂ’s newest millionairess held her second press conference at the Track Bar last week.

Raleigh, NC (PRWEB) September 4, 2005

Organised by local press agent, Tim OÂ’Brien and solicitor, David Sweeney, the press conference was called only to announce Dolores McNamaraÂ’s return to her single-storey St PatrickÂ’s Road home.

She refused to answer any of the questions posed by the gaggle of media, including if she intended giving anything back to the area. She responded to each one only resolutely sealed lips.

In a prepared statement, Mr Sweeney said that how she intended to spend her 115 million Euromillions win, was "not a priority at present” and that Dolores was concentrating on getting her and her family’s life back to normal following their Spanish celebratory holiday.

The press conference was a brief, quiet affair. Representatives from both local and national newspapers were there, hungry for some good photos and a rare quote from the Limerick housewife who has so unexpectedly joined IrelandÂ’s rich list.

There were cheers from the packed bar as Dolores emerged from a private room at the rear of the building,. She glanced around her coyly from beneath her fringe and quickly sank into her seat, apparently thankful for the protective bulk of her solicitor and the barÂ’s landlord at either side of her.

Behind her sat a group of approximately 20 of her friends, enjoying complimentary drinks.

Dolores herself looked the picture of health.

Sitting to her left, her solicitor said, to cheers from her friends, that Dolores and her family were "very proud of their city and especially the St Patrick’s Road area”.

"This area is a neighbourhood where neighbours always help and support each other and it is Dolores’ strong desire to continue to reside among her friends and neighbours in this area. If at some future date, she has to leave this area, it will not be because she wants to but because she would be left with no alternative.”

Asking the media to give Dolores, her family and her neighbours "space to get on with their lives and to do the routine things that we all enjoy”

In the meantime, her solicitor denied rumours that Dolores was buying Michael Owen’s villa in Spain or indeed a pub in Turkey. "She doesn’t know yet what she’s going to do, but she does want to stay in Limerick.”

About 150 friends and neighbours stayed for the evening, sharing in DoloresÂ’ good fortune through a complimentary bar, which a source at the bar confirmed, was paid for out of DoloresÂ’ now very, very healthy bank account. http://www. limerick. com (http://www. limerick. com)

Announcing DietResearch. com, a Comprehensive Online Resource that Provides the Most Accurate Reviews of Diet Pills Available Today

Announcing DietResearch. com, a Comprehensive Online Resource that Provides the Most Accurate Reviews of Diet Pills Available Today

Health enthusiasts have joined together to launch DietResearch. com, a one-stop online database that aims to be the most honest and trustworthy source of information on today's top diet pill products.

Fairfax, VA (PRWEB) July 8, 2009

Concerned health enthusiasts have come together to announce the unveiling of DietResearch. com (http://www. dietresearch. com), a comprehensive online database that provides the most accurate and trustworthy source of reviews on the best diet pills and assorted weight loss plans available today.

Due to the growing combination of ever-evolving beauty standards and aggressive new forms of marketing--consider the hundreds of advertising on the internet, in television, and in popular magazines--the selection of over-the-counter diet solutions now available to the public has exploded. But with every new diet pill, capsule, supplement, or meal plan comes newer promises of dramatic weight loss, guaranteed results, and a healthier, sexier you.

These diet pills (http://www. dietresearch. com) not only issue a variety of bold claims with each new bottle, but also peddle exotic ingredients that are often unfamiliar to prospective shoppers who are genuinely interested in slimming down but are also easily confused at the array of roots, flowers, and herbs constantly touted as the 'breakthrough' diet secret of the minute.

And contrasting such claims are the all-too-familiar news stories that indict certain diet pills and weight loss strategies as health risks to the unsuspecting public.

With such contradictory information cluttering the media, how can women and men hope to choose the best diet pill for their lifestyle yet remain confident in their selection?

How does a shopper know whether or not a popular herbal ingredient found in one diet pill harbors any potentially harmful side effects?

The need to answer these questions led to the launch of DietResearch. com: a groundbreaking new authority on the diet pill market that aims to educate the public through comprehensive reviews, and insightful articles written by professionals from multiple disciplines.

At the center of DietResearch. com is its exhaustive review section that aims to scrutinize all the weight loss diet pills (http://www. dietresearch. com) on the market to find the best product to fit your lifestyle. A team of health enthusiasts uses a thorough ranking scheme that grades each diet pill brand by safety and quality, effectiveness and honesty of claims, overall cost, quality of customer service, and presence of any sort of money-back guarantee.

This ranking scheme was designed to objectively rate diet pill products based on the entire consumer experience. For example, if a diet pill is shown to be the best at trimming fat, it may still get a low grade if the pill's company has terrible customer service or offers an intentionally vague guarantee for their product. Similarly, if the best diet pills (http://www. dietresearch. com) on the market is priced too high or the business practices suggest any risk of unsolicited credit card transactions, the experts at DietResearch. com will definitely bring it to the customer's attention.

But product reviews are not all of what DietResearch. com offers. Also available on the site is a growing collection of expert articles--written by dieticians, fitness professionals, and health industry veterans--designed to assist people in their weight loss efforts. All of these articles are written in a clear, straightforward manner designed to put budding dieters at ease and cover the broad spectrum of health issues regarding weight loss and choosing diet pills that work (http://www. dietresearch. com), ranging from detailed instructions on how to target fat in certain parts of the body to easy-to-understand guides to proper nutrition.

This attention to detail goes beyond what other health sites may offer, again echoing the mandate of DietResearch. com--to grade diet pills and other weight loss products by the complete customer experience offered.

Shedding pounds is no easy task and the experts at DietResearch. com understand that losing weight is often an intimate, emotional, and at times, confidence-eroding journey. The site hopes to alleviate such concerns faced by those trying to lose weight by empowering them with the knowledge they need to buy diet pills (http://www. dietresearch. com).

Get the facts - visit http://www. DietResearch. com (http://www. DietResearch. com) and discover which diet pill is the right fit for you.

Beaura Spa Announces Amazing Results from Isolaz Acne Laser Treatment, New Jersey

Beaura Spa Announces Amazing Results from Isolaz Acne Laser Treatment, New Jersey

Beaura Spa, Paramus, NJ, announces the amazing results they are seeing on patients using Isolaz for acne laser treatment. New Jersey adults and teens are experiencing remarkable results with this acne treatment.

Paramus, NJ (PRWEB) December 16, 2008

Beaura Spa, affiliated with the Parker Center for Plastic Surgery, New Jersey, is touting the benefits of their Isolaz laser, the first of which is relatively pain free.

"When the representative launched Isolaz to us, they said it was painless and I was skeptical. Then they tested it on me and I was amazed. It was painless!" says Kim Ashton, Customer Service Coordinator at Beaura Spa, New Jersey (http://www. parkercenterspa. net/). "Of course, some patients may experience discomfort with more intensive treatments such as hair and vascular removal, but discomfort is not pain.

Originally designed and effective for laser hair removal, the Isolaz laser at Beaura Spa has been incredibly effective for treatment of acne. The laser is not a cure for acne, but successful at killing bacteria that forms below the skin's surface over time.

New Jersey plastic surgeon (http://www. parkercenter. net/), Dr. Paul M. Parker, of the Parker Center in Paramus, NJ, "It's not a cure - adults and teens alike want relief - they want to look and feel better. In most cases, they have tried everything. This is the newest approach offered that does provide relief. It doesn't have the stigma or physical effects of potential damage to the body that some drugs may have."

Again, Dr. Parker, "When patients come in seeking relief from some condition, we are proud to be able to offer a variety of non-invasive treatments as an alternative."

Using the Isolaz Isolaz for acne laser treatment, New Jersey (http://www. parkercenterspa. net/aesthera-isolaz. html) men, women and teenagers experience the process which extracts impurities and kill bacteria. This process gets acne under control and then is managed on a proactive maintenance level rather than always fighting the skin condition.

Again, Ms. Ashton, "Isolaz will extract the impurities and kill the bacteria to prevent future eruptions. It also helps control the sebum that clogs pores. In effect, it purifies your pores from the inside."

The number of treatments varies individually. Isolaz clinical studies show immediate results within 24-48 hours. In addition, patients report a visible reduction in pore size and improved skin tone for healthier, younger-looking skin.

The Beaura Spa is one of very few providers offering this procedure in the northern NJ area. They suggest packaged pricing, which is cost effective. When you purchase four treatments, you receive one treatment free. While competitively priced, they also ensure safety with a strong affiliation with a board certified plastic surgeon and highly trained aestheticians.

"Patients are coming from Manhattan because of our competitively priced packages and our customer service. We make the treatment very pleasant and affordable. The package is designed to allow time to get the acne under control for the individual before moving into a maintenance regime.

For more information on the Isolaz Isolaz for acne laser treatment, New Jersey (http://www. parkercenterspa. net/aesthera-isolaz. html), please visit Beaura Spa online at parkercenterspa. net.

The Fat and Skinny of Frozen Yogurt

The Fat and Skinny of Frozen Yogurt

Touted as an alternative to high calorie and high fat ice cream, frozen yogurt is making those who eat it...fat. While it has been embraced as a healthy treat, it is hard to control calories when it is self served and consumers are controlling portion size. This is particularly true with children who also add toppings that consist of cookies, sprinkles, and hot fudge. With the childhood obesity epidemic continuing to balloon out of control a specialty soft serve product called Carbawhey is changing things up.

Temecula, CA (Vocus) February 15, 2010

Similar to the scene in the "Seinfeld" episode where Elaine gains seven pounds from eating fat-free frozen yogurt, many frozen yogurt lovers might be surprised to learn that what they’re eating isn’t so low in calories. Averaging in at 357 calories per serving for this low calorie snack makes it hard to believe it is a healthy treat. But there is hope fort those looking for an alternative, a specialty soft serve product called Carbawhey is the world's lowest calorie soft serve with only 20 calories per 4 ounce serving.

The current trend in frozen yogurt (http://www. carbawhey. com) has been the ‘self-serve’ approach where the individual can pour as much yogurt as he or she would like. The problem lies in the fact that the consumer has no idea how much yogurt he or she is getting and how many calories are actually consumed. Frozen yogurt ranges from 29 to 90 calories per ounce with a serving size of 6 ounces. That amounts to 174-540 calories prior to adding toppings consisting of cookies, sprinkles, and hot fudge, any of which can double the calorie count. Is it any wonder why the obesity epidemic continues to get worse? Consumers are simply trading in their sodas, donuts, and latte’s for frozen yogurt. Fortunately a specialty soft serve product called Carbawhey focuses on consumers that want a healthy, great tasting product with low calories.

Often considered a whey protein shake in soft serve form, Carbawhey is advertised as the world’s lowest calorie soft serve at 5 calories per ounce. Carbawhey is made with whey protein concentrate which stimulates appetite suppression, fuels the metabolic furnace, and satisfies the sweet tooth. Carbawhey’s use of whey protein concentrate along with a patented all natural sweetener called Whey Low (no relation to whey protein) has given Carbawhey staying power for nearly a decade in local frozen yogurt (http://www. carbawhey. com) shops and celebrity gyms. Being low in calories removes the guilt from those that like the ‘self-serve’ approach and pile it into their bowls. The product lends itself as safe for those that are lactose intolerant and to those sensitive to sugar. Carbawhey also makes an excellent food choice for children that want the fun of a frozen treat.

As the childhood obesity epidemic rages on, smart food choices will continue to become increasingly important. As first lady Michelle Obama stated during a recent interview, “We have to start with [the] assumption that parents aren’t deliberately making bad choices; they’re making the choices that they can under the circumstances.” At least this way parents have a choice under the circumstance to give something healthy to their children and to themselves.

Since 2002, California Soft Serve Concepts has been designing high protein low calorie products such as Carbawhey for health conscious consumers.

American Trails Offers 10 Steps to Help Save Our Outdoors

American Trails Offers 10 Steps to Help Save Our Outdoors

American Trails has issued 10 Steps to Help Save Our Outdoors, outlining the actions recommended by its members as presented to the Members of the 110th Congress, the White House, key agency heads and leaders in the trails community, and the national news media.

Davenport, IA (PRWEB) February 26, 2007

Have you ever thought about the future of trails and greenways in America? 10 steps have been compiled that envision a better quality of life, more livable cities, healthier and fitter adults and children and better stewardship of our land and resources. These 10 Steps to Help Save our Outdoors were brought forth at the opening plenary session of over 550 trail and greenway professionals and advocates at American Trails' 18th National Trails Symposium in the Quad Cities of Iowa and Illinois, October 20, 2006.

The leading national Presidential hopefuls were also sent letters prior to the event and were asked to submit their ideas and several of them did.

The Pressure’s On to Get a Good Night’s Sleep

The Pressure’s On to Get a Good Night’s Sleep

With a new link between sleep deprivation and high blood pressure, many Americans are looking for a way to ensure a good night's sleep.

Cordova, TN (PRWEB) June 21, 2006

People who get less than five hours of sleep a night are at a higher risk of developing high blood pressure, James E. Gangwisch, PhD, told The Fashion Monitor Toronto in a recent article.

Dr. Gangwisch said, “However, people who sleep for only short durations raise their average 24-hour blood pressure and heart rate. This may set up the cardiovascular system to operate at an elevated pressure.”

One company offers a way to take the pressure off for those struggling to get a full night’s sleep. A new solution is helping people everywhere to sleep restfully and wake up refreshed.

Diavad is a new product that works from the inside out to promote restful sleep. A spokesman for Selmedica Healthcare Corporation said, “Diavad helps to restore your body’s natural balance allowing you to feel more rested without harmful side effects.”

The company says that Diavad promotes a healthy internal balance, helping you to enjoy a restful night’s sleep, and is not habit-forming.

Bedford at Falls River Is Two Years Ahead of Planned Sellout Date

Bedford at Falls River Is Two Years Ahead of Planned Sellout Date

Raleigh's top selling master-planned community, Bedford at Falls River, is currently several years ahead its sales predictions. The Wakefield Development Company community - a Traditional Neighborhood Development (TND) community - was the 2004 NCHBA Community of the Year.

RALEIGH, N. C. (PRWEB) September 11, 2005

Wakefield Development Company of Raleigh began developing Bedford in 2001. Initial plans estimated the community would be selling new homes until 2010. But for Bedford at Falls River, home sales have increased significantly every year, and the community now predicts a 2008 sell out for homes, including the build out of all commercial areas.

Economic health and job availability in the Triangle are creating more opportunities for new home communities in general, but Bedford has established itself as the leader in Wake County for a reason. The sales pace at the community is credited to the upfront investment made by Wakefield, according to John Myers, President of Wakefield Development Company. "The investment was a catalyst to its quick growth. It enabled us to construct amenities within the first three years, making the community much more appealing to residents from the start," he said.

Four years ago, developers did not anticipate a master-planned community in the Triangle to be this successful, this fast. Because of the difficulty for the real estate community to accept the Traditional Neighborhood Development (TND) concept, Wakefield Development Company needed to convince realtors and homebuilders of its potential. "We needed our homebuilders to change some of their typical homebuilding practices in order to blend home designs with the atmosphere of the neighborhood," explained Myers.

ItÂ’s not just Bedford thatÂ’s growing. Wakefield Plantation, another master-planned community by Wakefield Development Company, is keeping pace with Bedford in home sales for the year. Although both communities are the top sellers in Wake County, the rate of BedfordÂ’s growth stands out.

Wakefield has averaged 245 sales per year since 1998, and Bedford averages 253, but it took Wakefield Plantation six years to break 300 home sales, a feat Bedford accomplished in only its second full year. Bedford at Falls River led Wake County in sales last year with 368, and is on pace to surpass that mark this year. Bedford has sold over 200 homes within the first six months of 2005, and is on pace to surpass 400 new home sales for the year.

Myers believes todayÂ’s homebuyers are investing not just in newly constructed homes, but also the communities that these homes are built in. "The savvy buyers are looking for more than a house when purchasing. They are shopping for neighborhoods that will enhance their daily lives. They want to promote a sense of community, not deprive themselves of contact with others."

Being two years ahead of pace, Wakefield Development Company can plan on developing its commercial Town Center within the community much sooner, offering current residents those additional benefits well ahead of schedule, making the community a greater draw for new potential home buyers.

"Bedford at Falls River offers a way of life, it supports community involvement, recreation and a more active lifestyle. TodayÂ’s buyer is more educated about what that investment will bring in the future," said Myers.

ABOUT BEDFORD AT FALLS RIVER

Bedford at Falls River, a Wakefield Development Company community, revives the traditional neighborhood setting and atmosphere while combining modern conveniences of todayÂ’s homes. For more information about the community, please visit www. BedfordTradition. com, call 919-792-0100, or visit the Welcome Center at 4390 Falls River Ave., Raleigh, NC 27614.

In addition to the 2004 NCHBA Community of the Year, Bedford at Falls River, the company has six other communities under development across the Raleigh-Wake County market, including Wakefield Plantation, Eagle Ridge, Edgewater, Cornerstone, Delta Ridge and Twin Lakes. Wakefield has also begun development of Mackintosh on the Lake, a new 612-acre community between I-85/I-40 and Lake Mackintosh in Burlington, and will begin development of two new communities, Renaissance Park and Twelve Oaks.

Over 24,000 employees were surveyed this year from businesses all over the state.

Larry Silver, President of Hollander Consultants, stated, “Placing in the top 50 of the thousands of businesses in Oregon is certainly a testimony to the care we take of our staff. We certainly appreciate that our staff feels so strongly about the company. Since we not only placed 5th in the employee career development and learning category, but also 6th in the category of performance management and rewards, our employees really appreciate the effort we take to ensure they are recognized for the work they do. This is very gratifying as a business owner and a skill we teach our clients to do as well, as they are all also business owners.”

The American Society of Health Informatics Managers (ASHIM) today announced an online training program to train workers to meet growing employment demands in health IT.

Students entering the program with previous healthcare or IT experience are placed in a twelve week “fast track” program that prepares them for IT jobs in healthcare and other health IT job opportunities such as clinical software trainers, EHR implementation specialists, health systems integration professionals, practice work flow analysts, practice management and consulting.

“Our already burdened healthcare communities need qualified health IT professionals to help them,” said Cecchini. “Physicians need to be able to trust health IT professionals. They simply don’t have time or money to waste while implementing these immense changes. ASHIM’s primary goal is to assist our members to best serve the health care community.”
