Natural Salt Crystal Lamps Produce Healthy Negative Ions

Natural Salt Crystal Lamps Produce Healthy Negative Ions

Ionic imbalances in the air are best solved by natural crystal salt lamps.

(PRWEB) June 15, 2005

People are becoming increasingly concerned about the poor quality of air that they breathe within office buildings, motor vehicles, and even their own homes. In fact, the EPA notes that levels of air pollutants indoors are typically many times that of outside air, even in smoggy cities. Not only are we exposed to toxic fumes produced by synthetic carpets and paints, but a sizable portion of the air molecules are positively charged (meaning that they lack an electron). These so-called "positive ions" have been shown to cause stress, headaches, lethargy, and temporary depression.

Their chemical opposites -- termed "negative ions" -- neutralize positive ions, and thus help to clean the air and reduce those health problems. Moreover, frequent exposure to the negative ions can dramatically increase an individual's energy, mental alertness, and overall sense of well-being. For many years, people suffering from asthma and other symptoms have gained tremendous relief from underground asthma treatment (speleotherapy) in salt mines, where negative ions are plentiful.

The most convenient and environmentally friendly way to add these healthy ions to your own environment, is to use natural crystal rock salts, including those that have been crafted into beautiful lamps, which generate even more negative ions as a result of the light and heat exposure. Not only do people find the light of natural salt crystal lamps to be quite soothing, but the negative ions given off by the lamps are the same wonderful ions we smell in the air after a thunderstorm. These ions have a refreshing and energizing effect, helping to purify the air and thereby benefit the people and pets breathing that air.

These types of lamps are being used worldwide in holistic spas and medical treatment centers. The most common types of disorders treated are breathing problems, such as asthma, emphysema, bronchitis, and various allergies.

The very best salt rock crystals are those that are mined in an ecologically responsible manner, and crafted by dedicated artisans into attractive and safe lamps that can be used indefinitely. Such lamps have been tested and verified to release ions, even when not lit. They produce the same wonderful ions that we feel after a thunderstorm and when standing close to a natural waterfall. Even though the crystal salts and ions themselves are odorless, people can really feel the difference breathing the energized air.

Natural Salt Lamps (http://www. natural-salt-lamps. com/ (http://www. natural-salt-lamps. com/)) is the ideal source for purchasing salt crystal products conveniently online, including beautiful lamps, candle holders, natural skin care products, bath salts, salt pipes, salin devices, natural Solay skin care and holistic edible salts -- at terrific prices, and every customer's complete satisfaction is 100% guaranteed.

Blue Hill Troupe Presents 'The Yeomen of the Guard'

Blue Hill Troupe Presents 'The Yeomen of the Guard'

Event to benefit The New York Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children.

New York, NY (Vocus) January 18, 2007

The award-winning Blue Hill Troupe (http://www. bht. org), New York's oldest Gilbert & Sullivan performing society, celebrates its 83nd season with a new production of "The Yeomen of the Guard."

Featuring what many consider to be Sullivan's most glorious music, "The Yeomen of the Guard," unlike the rest of the canon, presents a real, historical setting (Tudor England), and a plot with dramatic overtones in addition to the expected comic whimsy. The story concerns a handsome soldier facing execution on a trumped-up charge. Various plots to save him collide to both comic and serious effect.

"The Yeomen of the Guard (http://www. bht. org/yeomen. php3)" will play for eight performances April 13-21, 2007 at Teatro Heckscher of El Museo del Barrio (1230 Fifth Avenue at 104th Street).

Tickets will be available online at www. bht. org beginning March 1st, and range in price from $25-$65. The ticket office opens March 12 and can be reached from 2 to 5 p. m. weekdays at 212-988-2012.

Since its inception in 1924, the Blue Hill Troupe has produced a large-scale production of a Gilbert & Sullivan operetta (http://www. bht. org/yeomen. php3) every spring, with lavish production values and full orchestra. Each year, the proceeds benefit a different New York City charity, with the impressive total donated topping $3 million.

This year's beneficiary is The New York Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children, (NYSPCC). The NYSPCC was established in 1875 as the first child protection agency in the world, and since its inception, its contributions to the child welfare sector have been revolutionary, continuous and global. The NYSPCC's creation sparked a movement focused on preventing child abuse and neglect and protecting children from harm.

Proceeds from "The Yeomen of the Guard" will benefit The NYSPCC's Trauma Recovery Program, which provides critical mental health counseling services to children in New York City who have endured horrific abuse.

Blue Hill Troupe's president Jacalyn Yang said, "We're very excited to be working with one of New York City's oldest and worthiest charities. They address serious issues, but remain hopeful. 'Yeomen' deals with more real issues than most of the G&S operas, but is still leavened by comedy."

"The Yeomen of the Guard" will be directed and choreographed by Gary Slavin, recently represented Off Broadway by the hit revue "Bush is Bad." Musical direction will be by Zachary Schwartzman, whose work has been seen at New York City Opera and Glimmerglass Opera.

The Blue Hill Troupe has been featured on CBS Sunday Morning and has appeared twice at Carnegie Hall with The New York Pops. For the past twelve years, the Troupe has presented a Gilbert & Sullivan concert as part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's Concerts and Lectures series, where they will return on February 11, 2007.

In August 2005, the Blue Hill Troupe presented their revised performance edition of the Gilbert & Sullivan rarity "The Grand Duke" at the 12th Annual International Gilbert & Sullivan Festival in Buxton, England, where it was honored with awards for Best Male Performer, Best Female Performer and Best Musical Direction.

Teen Girls Have New Weapon In War Against Low Self-esteem

Teen Girls Have New Weapon In War Against Low Self-esteem

Teen Girls have a new tool for strengthening their self-esteem. Goldberry Publishing today announced the release of a new book entitled “Teen Girl’s Survival Guide to Lies, Liars and Lying” by Dr. David A. Camp. The book reveals the secret methods of lie detecting previously available only to law enforcement and government agencies.

Niota, IL (PRWEB) June 5, 2006

The author, a noted criminologist and deception expert, turned his criminal justice deception course into a self-help guide for young women. Dr. Camp stated, “Low self-esteem in teen girls is epidemic and the cause for a wide range of problems. Often a result of feeling powerless, low self-esteem can be countered by providing skills that enhance one’s control over social interactions.”

UCLA medical research and the National Association for Self-Esteem (NASE) claim that poor self-esteem increases cortisol production (associated with weight related problems, depression, accelerated aging, and elevated blood sugar levels) and is directly associated with problems of high blood pressure, school behavioral problems, eating disorders, alcohol/drug use, depression, suicide, and more. The NASE claims that improving self-esteem can serve as a “Social Vaccine” to many issues affecting youth.

Dr. Camp also noted that, “When a teen knows someone is trying to deceive her, she has the upper hand allowing her to ‘see what cards the other players are holding’. This gives her the ability to be more effective in personal and social relationships. In the process, this enhances her self-esteem by improving her physical, social, and psychological health. It gives her a lifelong advantage in dealing with others.”

Although these skills can be used by anyone to obtain control in interviews, negotiations, and personnel disputes, the simplicity and power of these skills is ideally suited to adolescent girls.

In addition to lie detection, “Teen Girls” arms young women with many additional tools such as how to get others to be honest, rules of human behavior, safety tips, signs that friends are being abused, date rape facts and strategies, and much more.

The book, additional support, interesting activities, quizzes and more are provided through the website, teengirlssurvivalguide. com. The book is also available through amazon. com.

Minnesota Cash Pharmacy Teams Up with Consumers for Health Care Choices Offering a National Prescription Plan for the Uninsured

MedSave Discount Pharmacy a unique “non-insurance based pharmacy” officially announced that they will be teaming up with Consumers for Health Care Choices to roll out a national prescription plan for the uninsured. MedSave has been very successful in setting up statewide prescription plans for large senior organizations in Minnesota, Wisconsin and Indiana.

New Hope, MN (PRWEB) May 17, 2006

MedSave Discount Pharmacy a unique “non-insurance based pharmacy” officially announced that they will be teaming up with Consumers for Health Care Choices to roll out a national prescription plan for the uninsured. MedSave has been very successful in setting up statewide prescription plans for large senior organizations in Minnesota, Wisconsin and Indiana. Sean Kacsir, founder of MedSave Discount Pharmacy states,” we have cut monthly prescription bills in half for thousands of our customers and have saved many of our customers up to 80% on their generic medication costs in the past two years”. MedSave has teamed up with Consumers for Health Care Choices, a growing national consumer organization to help get the word out to the 45 million uninsured Americans that either do not have insurance or have signed up with the growing Heath Savings Account “H. S.A. market.

MedSave Discount Pharmacy is a “cash pharmacy” or non-insurance pharmacy created in February, 2004 to help people with limited insurance or no insurance save money on prescriptions. The new prescription program is a simple plan that will offer Consumers for Health Care Choices members an additional 5% off the already discounted retail price. MedSave will also offer $1.00 shipping per package and include Consumers for Health Care Choices members to be included on the “full bottle” brand discount. This full bottle discount offers brand medications at a price well below the average retail price in the market.

Fred Wesely, chief pharmacist in New Hope, MN, works with doctors on a daily basis finding different ways to help save his customers money. “In our pharmacy you do not need insurance to be able to afford prescriptions. Many of the brand medications either has a generic medication available or has similar drugs that are much more affordable, that get similar results at a fraction of the cost. There has been numerous times where one phone call to the patient’s doctor has saved our patient $100.00 per month.” One example given was changing from the popular cholesterol drug Lipitor to Mevacor, which has a generic equivalent called Lovastatin. This change could reduce your monthly bill from $120.00 to $14.99 per month in our store. If you can’t afford the medication, you put your health in jeopardy. We help people afford to take their medication.

“This is an exciting time for our pharmacy concept, states Kacsir, we wanted to align ourselves with an organization that has similar goals and a passion to create a more effective healthcare system. Consumers for Health Care Choices are the perfect fit for MedSave because of the potential customers we will be able to reach with our discount concept.”

To qualify for MedSave Discount Pharmacy’s national program you can sign up for a Consumers for Health Care Choices membership by calling 301-606-7364. The cost for a general membership is only $15.00 per year. You can also visit their website at www. chcchoices. org to check out all of the membership benefits. To fill your prescriptions using MedSave Discount Pharmacy, you may bring a prescription to the store, have your doctor call in your prescription to the pharmacist or simply call MedSave at toll free 1-866-856-9633 and their pharmacist can transfer your prescription from your current pharmacy.

Datum Introduces the LapTop Depot to Help Prevent Laptop Theft

Datum Introduces the LapTop Depot to Help Prevent Laptop Theft

Designed primarily for school classrooms, the LapTop Depot product line provides a full line of stationary and mobile options to secure and charge laptops. Depots are available in capacities of 5, 8 and 10 and since they do not require a timer like traditional laptop carts they provide security at a lower cost per each laptop when compared to a cart.

Emigsville, PA (PRWEB) May 28, 2010

Datum's new LapTop Depots organize laptops into smaller groups (as opposed to a traditional cart) and can be stationed in various parts of the room. As a result students are able to attain and return their laptop in less time than a laptop cart because instead of one line, students are divided into 4 or 5 lines of five, eight or ten students.

Additionally, teachers can assign a group of students to each Depot allowing the teacher to track back a missing or vandalized laptop faster and easier than with a laptop cart.

Depots are available in 19 standard colors to match any decor.

The Depot is also designed to be used in health care and training applications where security and access to laptops is paramount.
