you're having a great week so far J I wanted to follow-up with
you about Dream Water, and see if you had a fit for inclusion as
Daylight Savings Time approaches! Dream Water is a fast acting,
non-prescription liquid sleep aid that will keep your sleep schedule on
track! Here are 5 tips that can help you get through the time change
with ease: 1. Keep a consistent sleep and
wake time. Being consistent allows your body to get into a pattern. 2. Take Dream
Water, a natural sleep aid, 30 minutes before bed to help you fall
asleep, stay asleep and wake up feeling refreshed! 3. In
the week leading up to the time change, start gradually moving your bed
time earlier in 15 minute increments. This way your body will be better
adjusted to the time change, and you won't feel as tired that following
week! 4. Avoid electronics an hour before
bed. The light they emit can disturb your sleep and keep you up. 5. Try
getting some sunlight or bright light first thing in the morning! It
will help your body adjust and clue in that you're supposed to be awake.

As millions upon millions of Americans look ahead to Thanksgiving with trepidation about overeating,Susan Peirce Thompson, Ph.D., a brain and cognitive scientist specializing in the psychology of eating, offers this timeless wisdom: Thanksgiving, with its underlying message of gratitude, can help, not hinder, willpower around food. In fact, says Susan -- who is President of the Institute for Sustainable Weight Loss author of the forthcoming book, Bright Line Eating: The Science of Living Happy, Thin and Free (Hay House, March 2017) -- when incorporated into the scaffolding of your life, giving thanks before EVERY meal has immeasurable health and weight control benefits, for the following reasons: It reinforces the routine of eating meals on a regular schedule Eating regular meals at consistent times is crucial in that it lengthens the body's fasting window, which increases fat loss and strengthens the process by which cells recycle and repair. It also improves insulin sensitivity and lowers cholesterol. It takes the burden off willpower Willpower depletion is a very real phenomenon. In fact, research shows we may have as little as 15 minutes of willpower at our disposal before it runs dry. However, research also shows that something as simple as making a gratitude list can replenish its stores. Hence, practicing an "attitude of gratitude" is one of the best ways to harness the brain's ability to resist unwanted and unneeded extra food. Turning thoughts toward gratitude eases temptations themselves No matter where you are in the world, no matter what party or occasion, no matter what restaurant, you can always turn your mind toward gratitude. Doing so shifts the focus from what you want, or crave, to what you have. It also supports mindfulness, helping sharpen awareness of your actions and lead to better choices. Susan's bio is below.

They've read a story, sung a song, found the favorite stuffed animal and yet their child is still awake. Many parents of young children have found themselves enacting complicated bedtime rituals to no avail. The Moon Inside, by Sandra V. Feder, gives children a new way of looking at nighttime, which is particularly important now, as we turn back the clocks, and more of a child's awake hours are spent in the dark. The book is beautifully illustrated by Aimee Sicuro, and has received incredible reviews from Kirkus, Booklist, School Book Journal and sevenimpossiblethings (and more).

are increasingly making eco-conscious choices for a greener, sustainable
lifestyle. We’re spending more time outdoors, choosing eco-friendly
tools for our yards, and most of us are using green gardening methods
like composting or mulching. A national study by Husqvarna shows
that Quebecers feel most strongly about companies taking green steps to
reduce stress on the planet. Seventy-five per cent of respondents are
more likely to support companies that use environmentally-friendly
equipment, and 79% of them believe companies should receive tax
benefits for taking steps to be greener. Residents themselves are also
trying to go green when gardening with 43% owning eco-friendly yard

(800) 851-9100 ext. 212 What if corporations were allowed to sue governments because its laws protect people and the environment but hurt corporate profits? What
if there was a tribunal where corporate executives were able to
literally get away with murder? A major Buzzfeed News report just
exposed the inner workings of secret international courts that
corporations use to sue governments for the most ludicrous things like
failing to protect an oil well during war or for making a national park
instead of a mine. Some countries can't afford the process so the
mere threat of a lawsuit forces them to fold and dish out millions to
corporations without even going to court. These courts are already
attacking our democracies - and new trade deals like TPP could make them
even more powerful. It's up to our politicians whether we cooperate with
these dubious secret courts, and even, whether we sign up to them in the
first place. Tell
our leaders to end their use of these secret corporate courts - and
we'll take the message to governments around the world.
These courts have existed for years, to "protect" corporations
from governments making laws that protect people, the environment and
hold up working standards but might hurt corporate profits. But many
governments are chosen by their citizens. No one votes for the CEOs of
big corporations or the lawyers making these decisions - so why should
they get to jeopardise people's lives and public funds, just to make
more profit? Buzzfeed reports confirm the complete lack of transparency,
corruption and absence of accountability in these courts. The very same
people who judge these cases are the lawyers getting corporations
millions of dollars for suing a struggling economy. SumOfUs members have

MANY comfort foods Hope you are well. Thought you might be interested in learning about some of the MANY comfort foods available for vegans. It wasn’t too long ago that vegans and vegetarians had very limited food options and were not able to enjoy some of the delicious ‘junk food’ everyone else enjoyed. Ice cream, french fries, wings, pizza, burgers, and brownies are only some of the goodies available—with an added healthy twist. Candice Hutchings would be happy to chat about this year’s Veg Food Fest and how you can make your very own comfort foods. Photo also available.

now more than 50 Save Movement groups worldwide, 20+ in the Sexualization and both There have been countless stories in the past few years of girls being sent home for their clothing decisions. This is problematic for many reasons. Studies show links between female sexualization and both victimization and perpetration of sexual aggression and violence. Sexualization of girls may appear impossible to ignore in our modern-day world, but there are steps we can take to help our children have healthy attitudes. The married writing team of Dr. Laurie Berdahl and Dr. Brian Johnson just released a new book, Warning Signs: How to Protect Your Kids from Becoming Victims or Perpetrators of Violence and Aggression, which covers this topic, and they are immediately available to discuss: How sexualization is linked to sexual aggression and violence Warning signs that sexualization is affecting your children How sharing media experiences with your children and talking about it can minimize harm How encouraging kids to participate in activities that don't focus on appearance can also minimize harm How heavy exposure to sexualized images can cause depression and victimization in young girls and how creating a healthy media plan for your children can help How parents also may unintentionally promote sexualization by modeling it with their attitudes and behaviors How to minimize sexualization of your kids and fight sexual exploitation The complete press release is below. Please let me know if you have any questions for Dr. Berdahl and Johnson or would like to talk to them about any of these topics. Thanks for your time!

But what if you could turn morning time into your favorite time of the day, where waking up is actually easy and more enjoyable? Yoga legend Aadil Palkhivala, known across the world as the “Godfather of yoga in the west,” offers these tips that will make it easier to get going in the morning: 1. Wake up to something pleasant: The very first thing most people think about when they wake up are all the things they have to get done that day. It quickly makes them feel overwhelmed, frustrated and stressed out. Instead, start your day thinking about the things you are grateful for, and focus on the fun activities you have planned for the day. Do some heartfelt meditation that focuses on deep breathing that will wake you up peacefully and put you in the mood to create throughout the day. 2. Lose the traditional alarm clock: Jarring the body from a deep sleep is unhealthy for the nervous system. Waking up to a softer noise that gradually increases in volume is a much better choice. Sounds from nature are soothing and naturally awake the body. 3. Drink a glass of warm water right away: Before you head for the coffee, drink a glass of warm water. Warm water will open up the circulation in the throat and stomach. It helps the body naturally hydrate and feel awake and alive. It also helps enhance circulation and removes toxins from the night and day before. People who drink water right before bed and when waking up are also less prone to heart attacks. 4. Have an organic smoothie: They say garbage in equals garbage out, so start your day with a powerful organic smoothie. Anything that contains green fruits/veggies is a good choice, along with plant-based proteins. Avoid animal-based proteins which are more difficult to digest. 5. Stretches: Just like you would warmup your car on a cold winter day, you need to break up the tension from the night before and get the body ready for action. Do some simple stretches that focus on the neck, shoulders, hips and spine. 6. Take a warm shower: It’s as common as the chicken and egg debate: should you shower in the morning or at night? The answer is actually both, but especially in the morning because a warm to hot shower will increase circulation in the skin, and help awake the nervous system. 7. Clean air: When you sleep in a room that has clean air, you’re going to wake up feeling refreshed and ready to take on the day. Use an air ionizer and purifier with HEPA filter that removes odors and fumes from cleaners, aerosols, carpet and paint. HEPA filters remove more than 99 percent of airborne irritants. Please let me know if you would be interested in speaking to Aadil about having better mornings. You may also use his tips with proper attribution. Aadil is also happy to contribute an article on the topic. http://www.aadil.com/ http://www.aliveandshinecenter.com/ Thanks! Alex Smith 954-821-3434 alex@serbinmedia.com 8.17.16 Dangerous effects of playing violent games and watching violent media? Not convinced of the dangerous effects of playing violent games and watching violent media? Studies show that playing these games gives children good feelings of pleasure and success when they cause harm to others at a time when their brains are making permanent decision making and emotional connections. This is particularly true when the game permits the player to be a shooter (that is, to see things as the shooter sees them). Research consistently shows irrefutable evidence that exposure to aggression and violence in media increases those behaviors in youth. Out of thirty-five hundred studies, all but eighteen showed an association. Dr. Laurie Berdahl and Dr. Brian Johnson, authors of Warning Signs: How to Protect Your Kids from Becoming Victims or Perpetrators of Violence and Aggression, strongly recommend that parents regulate children's media use because studies show better behavior and emotional health with lower exposure. Drs. Berdahl and Johnson are available immediately for an interview, Q&A, guest posts, or help with a feature revolving around creating a positive media plan for children and students this school year. Here are some examples of what they can discuss: Harmful media influences and how to deflect the damage How violent media exposure increases aggression and anxiety in perpetrators How actively managing media in your kids' lives is a modern must for protecting them from becoming victims or perpetrators. How consuming violent media strips away empathy in children and how to manage this issue And more. Thank you for your consideration. I look forward to hearing from you.

from After last week’s RNC and this week’s DNC After
last week’s RNC and this week’s DNC, politics is on everyone’s
mind. But what’s the best way to respond when someone asks you,
“Which candidate do you support” or “Who are you going to vote
for?” Sharon Schweitzer, an international etiquette expert,
author and founder of Protocol & Etiquette Worldwide, says you have
options. You don’t want to respond Keeping your opinion to
yourself can be difficult; however, it is possible. Say something like,
“In the midst of such a contentious political season, I feel it’s
best to keep my opinion to myself. I do appreciate your interest and
wish you the best in your political decisions.” By acknowledging
and thanking them for their genuine interest, you are able to get out of
sticky political conversations but retain your well-mannered and ever
sophisticated demeanor. If they push again If they
keep pushing for a response, you can play the undecided card and change
the subject. “I’m still evaluating the candidates and the issues and
haven’t made up my mind yet. It will be interesting to see how
it plays out.” To get them off the topic for good, ask them about
something meaningful to them that they will want to talk about.

By infusing the customer into the creative process of advertising products, retailers are changing traditional customer to retailer dynamic. User-generated content has connected customers and retailers. Customers feel as if they are part of the company, and at the same time the company gets to use a real-life display of how an actual person – not a model – looks in an item. " User-generated content helps users connect emotionally to a brand and feel as though they are part of the creative process that brought the item to the world. User-generated content is typically shared through social media, so at the same time it can help retailers have a viral reach." Says Founder and CEO of UsTrendy Sam Sisakhti Several companies have been implementing this idea, including Target, which used it to implement a college acceptance letter competition. They promised to donate $500 million to education and to double that figure if the competition had a high number of participants. The best videos were then featured on their new television commercial, which was a huge hit. People were able to share a special moment in their lives through Target. Like many other clothing retailers, UsTrendy is leveraging Instagram to take advantage of user-generated content. Customers use a special hash tag to post pictures of themselves wearing items they have bought on UsTrendy. Once a week, UsTrendy features these customer photos on its own Instagram account for hundreds of thousands of followers to enjoy, and on the UsTrendy homepage, for millions of visitors. User-generated content is a win-win proposition for any company's marketing strategy. Making users feel a part of the process results in greater brand loyalty and also helps acquire new customers who relate to a more personal approach. Sam Sisakhti is available to discuss user generated content on the retail world along with any other retail topics. If you are interested please contact Sam Sisakhti at sam@ustrendy.com or 617 680 9228. Thank you, Sam 7.01.16 Good
morning Conrad David I hope you’re well. I’m writing to you as I was wondering if your readers might be interested in our latest Canadian study – we’ve looked at how TV can affect your love life! We’ve discovered some interesting facts about Canadian singles, television, and dating – for instance binge watching is now so popular that 80% of 30-39 year olds think that binge watching a show together is the ideal date night; while 68% of Canadian singles think liking the ‘right’ TV shows (like The Big Bang Theory) can make you more interesting to date. I’ve included the full results of the study below – please do feel free to share with your readers (citing https://www.elitesingles.ca/en/mag/single-life/tv-date as the source, if possible!).

as a You’re in a business meeting and someone’s phone starts ringing. You’re
in a business meeting and someone’s phone starts ringing. You’re in
a restaurant and your date is looking at her phone all evening instead
of talking to you. It’s the middle of mass and the guy at the end of
the pew is texting with his buddies. Good news: July is National Cell
Phone Courtesy Month, and a time to take a look at the bad habits many
of us have developed around the incessant texting, emailing, calling and
being connected 24/7. Sharon Schweitzer, an international etiquette
expert, author and founder of Protocol & Etiquette Worldwide, offers
these eight tips for National Cell Phone Courtesy Month (and all year
long): 1. Hidden cell phone: Whether you
are attending an important business meeting, out on a date or even in a
casual setting with friends, keep your phone out of sight. Placing
your phone on the table or desk sends a clear message that the people
you are with are not your number-one priority. It’s also just rude.
2. Silent Smartphone: It’s mannerly to
turn off your cell phone before meetings, meals, and meaningful moments
– like dates! If you can’t turn your device off, turn it to silent
or vibrate. Your phone is not a replacement for an in-person meeting.
3. Exceptions: There are exceptions to
every rule, and it’s permissible to takeout your smartphone in several
situations: A) Doctors, nurses, first responders, and health providers
B) Those expecting emergency calls C) Those who have an infant with a
babysitter or a person with a caregiver D) Those momentarily sharing
photos with others E) Those researching an important request, such as
directions. 4. Excuse Me: If
accepting an emergency call, excuse yourself as quietly and calmly as
possible from the gathering with an apology. For example, “I
apologize; however, this is urgent, please excuse me. I hope to
return in a moment.” 5. Consider
Content Carefully: With smartphones, spontaneity can be contagious.
Remember, once a text, tweet or post is sent, it’s live. Sure, you can
delete it, but it’s out there on the Internet, just waiting to bite
you back! So use common sense and don’t post inappropriate pictures or
writing while consuming adult beverages. Avoid profanity. 6.
10-foot rule: When making or taking a call, move 10 feet away from the
building including windows. No one wants to see pacing or gesturing
during your conversation. Step outside when responding to a call while
in a house of worship, medical office, library, theatre, or hospital.
Refrain from confidential conversations on planes, trains, and
automobiles. 7. Don’t Drive &
Talk: Many localities now ban smartphone use while driving. If you must
use the phone, drive to a safe area away from traffic. Safety first!
8. The Cellular Crutch: Don’t use your
phone when you are not sure what else to do in uncomfortable situations.
If you walk into a new office or even a wedding reception and don’t
know anyone, take time to engage with people face-to-face. Deferring
back to your phone as a crutch will keep you from truly connecting with
the people around you. Would you like to speak to Orlando

Yacht-Club de Montréal Call for Cash Over Action While
there is a lot we're tired of hearing this election, "Six Lessons To Win Like Muhammad Ali," With
fifty-six wins and only five losses in his career, Muhammad Ali was
considered a winner by all accounts. And like Ali with his opponents,
winning in business is about doing away with the competition. Ali's
actions in and out of the ring provide some useful lessons to anyone who
wants to get out and win. Please review the below article by author and
advisor to CEOs and other leaders on all topics related to winning,
Geoff Blades, "Six Lessons To Win Like Muhammad Ali," offered
to you for publication. I hope you can share this unique perspective
with your readers. Blades would be available for an interview on this
topic as well. I look forward to hearing from you. Thank you, Erin

Saint Georges, Morin-Heights,
Saint Georges, While Philippe Padieu While
Philippe Padieu is not universally-recognized like Bill Cosby, they
share many parallels. While both are sexual predators who manipulated
and lied to their victims yet never admitted wrongdoing, the biggest
difference is that Padieu is serving a 45-year jail sentence and Cosby
is still free! Their accusers also share similarities: Diane Reeve and
Andrea Constand made national headlines as the first to be successful at
coming forward and getting a case prosecuted, both are in positions of
authority, and neither were deterred by media scrutiny in their fight to
stop these serial sexual predators. While both showed great courage and
determination, Reeve actually tracked down other victims herself,
whereas more of Cosby's victims came forward after Constand was
successful. Diane Reeve shares her gut-wrenching journey for justice in
Standing Strong: The Inspiring Story of an Unlikely Sisterhood and the
Court Case that Made History, and I would be happy to send you a copy in
consideration of an interview or review. Please read the following press
release and let me know if I may schedule a memorable interview with
Diane or forward a copy of her book for a review. Thank you. Kim Weiss,

Thank you. Best regards, Veronica... Move over gal skin care
products. Today’s medicine cabinet is increasingly becoming two
zones when it comes to skin care hers and HIS! Whether it's male
baby boomers hoping to overcome signs of aging or millenials using that
daily dab of moisturized sunscreen, men's grooming has gone mainstream
bigtime. Male skin care is one of the beauty industry's fastest-growing
sectors, with more men adopting a grooming regimen, alongside exercise
and eating right, as a component of healthy living. Guys like to see
‘for men” on labels and male-female product differences go skin
deeper than packaging. Arbonne is right on trend with the
botanically-based RE9 Advanced® for Men Collection that addresses the
unique needs of men’s skin. Created with a man in mind, the products
are multifunctional, convenient to use and developed with the latest
technologies. The products are lightweight and fast-absorbing so they go
on quickly and comfortably with no heavy, sticky residue. They provide
benefits that can be felt immediately — from refreshingly smooth,
clean skin, to youthful-looking results that can be achieved with
consistent use. With anti-aging ingredients built into these formulas,
these products are designed to deliver results. The RE9 Advanced for Men
collection includes: ■ Micro-Exfoliating Cleanser

to hear back from you. Slight change in plans...I was planning on
sending you a long email with the details that would help you see how
working together to create The Montreal Tribune magazine could make
a lot of sense. After speaking with our CEO, Larry Genkin, he suggested
that I instead send you a video he has recently created that will allow
you to more quickly get the download on what I was going to send you,
but with visuals and examples so you can really appreciate. Take a quick

reality, and 3. co-create — this revolutionary, internationally,
award-winning model is already being taught in universities around the

Book By "Shark Tank" Winner The Five Hour Workday - Launching Nationwide July 2016 "Stephan
has done an amazing job growing Tower into a dominant industry force. He
is one of my best Shark Tank investments." – Mark Cuban,
billionaire entrepreneur Henry Ford had every right to
maintain the 10-16 hour workday that was common over 100 years ago, and
pocket the financial gains of a new productivity called the
"assembly line." But where other capitalists saw a path to
greater profits, Ford had a much grander vision. Ford took a gamble that
would change the world as we know it: he doubled his workers' wages, and
more importantly, he gave them their time back. He reduced the workday
to eight hours, and shared the fruits of this new productivity, in both
money and time. Fast-forward a century. The eight-hour workday is now
outdated and irrelevant. Today's knowledge workers have the power to be
massively more productive, but also to waste an extraordinary amount of
time. The reality is these workers are only doing 2-3 hours of real work
a day, yet clock 9.4 on average. Widely available productivity tools are
not being used. Switching to a five-hour workday empowers and
incentivizes employees to use these tools and work at a more intense
pace. The Five-Hour Workday: Live Differently, Unlock Productivity, and
Find Happiness (July 2016) by Stephan Aarstol is about one company that
simply asked why. A company that had the courage to try an experiment,
toward re-inventing a more sensible, productive, and healthy workday for
the knowledge workers of today. A company that switched to a five-hour
workday, from Sunday Morning Family Tree Workshop Montreal,

or call the JGS of Have you ever felt as if there’s too much going on? Not enough hours in the day? Can’t seem to find the time between the kids, work and other commitments? How do the most successful people – those who have even more on their plates than most of us – manage to conquer the world and do it all with ease? After studying and coaching top performers for more than 30 years, Steve Siebold, author of 177 Mental Toughness Secrets of The World Class, and a psychological performance and mental toughness coach, says it comes down to 10 ways of taking on life and managing time: 1. Keep things in perspective: “Most people crack under pressure because they lose their perspective. Their fear of losing overwhelms them to the point of physical, emotional and spiritual breakdowns,” Siebold says. “List the three events that cause you the most stress on a regular basis, and ask yourself what you need to do to put these things into proper perspective, to reduce or eliminate the stress.” 2. Compartmentalize: “Most people get bogged down in the details of every little problem, yet some people are able to manage multiple problems and maintain emotional control while solving them individually,” Siebold says. “This is called compartmentalization. Commit to compartmentalizing your problems by focusing exclusively on one problem at a time. While most people multi-task, the great ones focus.” 3. Escape excessive cognition: “The enemy of creativity and clarity is excessive cognition, or having too many thoughts to process at the same time. Cognitive overload is a major problem for many of us,” Siebold says. “Schedule some time to get away and be alone with your thoughts. Investing in solitude will keep the mind rested, fresh and able to focus. The simple greatest asset you can give yourself is the ability to think with a clear mind.” 4. Master Follow Up: “Most people over-promise and under-deliver. It’s not that they don’t have good intentions, they become forgetful trying to balance too many things at once,” Siebold says. “Keep a pen and paper with you at all times or make a note on your Smartphone to do the things you say you are going to do. Follow through inspires confidence and fosters trust.” 5. Don’t be addicted to the approval of other people: “A lot of people value the opinions of other people over their own. It’s conformity at all costs and zaps all of your energy,” Siebold says. “Next time you wonder ‘what if’ people don’t agree with you or won’t like you, reframe the question to ‘so what if’ they don’t? What’s really the worst thing that will happen?” 6. Learn to say ‘No:’ “If you’re a ‘yes’ person and always agree to help with additional favors, projects and other requests for your time, it’s taking away from other things you could be doing,” Siebold says. “It’s great to help others, but it’s also perfectly acceptable to say ‘no’ from time to time. People aren’t going to dislike you or stop being your friend because you say no. Time is your most valuable resource.” 7. Develop a world-class work ethic in all you do: “When it comes to getting results, most people manage to produce average results and do just enough to get by. They’re worried about time, but the reality is they have more time than they realize if they cutout meaningless activities like watching TV and playing on Facebook,” Siebold says. “Whether it’s your career, a personal relationship or anything else, develop a world-class work ethic of GSD (Get Stuff Done) and watch your productivity and results go through the roof.” 8. Be future oriented: “Most people dream of the good ole’ days and never get anything done. The only thing significant about the past is how it affects us in the present and future,” Siebold says. “Stop looking in the rearview mirror wishing things were different. Don’t play the victim game. Be focused on ‘living in the now.’ Focus exclusively on the present and future.” 9. Develop a sense of urgency: “Most people operate like there is an endless amount of time in a day, week, month year and life, and constantly procrastinate,” Siebold says. “To be more productive, you need to be more sensitive to time. Life is short. Go after things with a sense of urgency and learn to think about life as if there’s no tomorrow.” 10.
Become a problem solver: “People who manage to do it all are focused
on solving problems. They aren’t worried about being recognized or
given credit for what they accomplish.” Siebold says. “Drop
your ego and reach out for help when you have too much on your plate.
Learn to delegate. You’re human, after all, and there’s no shame in
turning to others for help.” Would you be interested in speaking
to Steve? If so, I’m happy to set that up. Or, feel free to use

What once started in her Get a Summer Shine on your Vehicle A
spring coat of wax is key to enhancing your car’s look - TORONTO ,
Ont. — It may not have been the coldest and snowiest of Canadian
winters, but it was still winter. That means scraping ice off your car,
driving on salty roads and long stretches where it just isn’t feasible
— or at the very least comfortable — getting outside to wash your
vehicle. But spring has sprung and the weather is getting nicer. It’s
time to get out into the driveway and get your car or truck ready for
the hot months. One of your first orders of business is washing the
exterior and applying a new coat of wax. “There was a time when waxing
your car was a necessity of preserving your paint job,” says Megan
Currie from Armor All. “Today’s vehicles have a clear coat that
protects the paint, but it is still necessary to get wax on your car for
added protection and a beautiful shine that will make your car or truck
look like new.” While the clear coat — a resin that shields a
car’s paint job — adequately protects your car from the elements, it
is prone to scratching, swirl marks and collecting dirt. Applying a coat
of wax helps preserve and bolster the clear coat while resisting dirt,
dust and water; a good wax will make the water bead and run off as well
as enhance depth of colour and shine. Back in the day when wax was the
protector of your paint, it was a time consuming and cumbersome process.
Good news, recent innovations have made waxing a simple step that pays
big dividends, with easy maintenance that will help your car sit
protected and shiny in summer’s sun right through Labour Day. Here are
some tips for waxing and maintaining your car and getting the best
results. Wash your car thoroughly. Winter is tough on a vehicle. Give it
a good scrub with a car wash and a sponge, ensuring you clean the salt
off the undercarriage. Apply your wax. Whether using a paste,
liquid
cleaner or spray, you want something that is going to restore and
enhance your car’s colour, giving it that showroom, high-gloss shine.
To make the job easier on yourself, get an easy buffing wax that will
not only remove old wax build up but can also be applied to a wet or dry
vehicle — saving you the step of drying your car. Keep it shiny.
Don’t just leave your newly waxed car to fend for itself against
Mother Nature. A full wax after each car wash may not be necessary, but
a spray
wax is a quick and easy process to touch up faded areas or detail
your whole car for a long-lasting shine. Maintain the look. Enhance the
wax protection between washing and waxing with ease using a spray
detailer that removes dirt residue and leaves behind a high-gloss
shine in seconds. “Armor All car waxes can be used on wet or dry
vehicles making it easier to apply the wax and saves you time by not
having to dry the vehicle before you start waxing,” says Currie.
“You can get great results in less time with less effort. They are so
easy to use, and your car or truck will look brilliant in the crowd. If
you haven’t thought of waxing your vehicle before, give it a try.”

It’s a Balancing Act: Plan well in advance for your mother,

is to host an event like brunch to celebrate all the mother figures in
your life. It’s about mom and no one else: You know your mother best,
so customize this day to meet her needs and likes. Maybe her
grandchildren put on a skit, bake and frost her favorite cake or enjoy
afternoon tea together. Perhaps you clean mom’s house for her or take
her to her favorite restaurant. Just ensure you celebrate her

however it is possible. Say something like, “In the midst of such a
contentious political season, I feel it’s best to keep my opinion to
myself. I do appreciate your interest and wish you the best in your
political decisions.” By acknowledging and thanking them for their
genuine interest, you are able to get out of sticky political
conversations but retain your well-mannered and ever sophisticated
demeanor. If they push again If they keep pushing for a response,
you can play the undecided card and change the subject. “I’m still
evaluating all the candidates or all the issues and haven’t made up my
mind yet. It will be interesting to see how it plays out.” To
get them off the topic for good, ask them about something meaningful to

following period. According to Marsh’s report, insured losses in the
global upstream energy sector reached a peak in the 1980s, shortly after
the price of Brent crude oil fell from US$35 to US$15 per barrel. In the
late 1990s, this cycle occurred again when the price fell below US$10
per barrel and again in the years following the 2008 slump, when the
price fell from more than US$100 to US$32 per barrel. See below or here

Mission Recalibrate
for Life 2.0: Transition Stories for Business Leaders By
Susan K. Spaulding - DISCOVERING THE 'WHAT' IN 'WHAT'S NEXT'—EXPERT'S
NEW BOOK DELIVERS UNTRADITIONAL APPROACH TO THE "R-WORD:"
RETIREMENT After
years as a business owner, a CEO, or any kind of corporate executive,
how do you reinvent yourself when the time comes to retire? With roughly
10,000 baby boomers turning 65 everyday for the next 19 years, for some,
the next chapter of life will be a journey of self-discovery and
recalibrating. By tackling the emotional issues that come with shifting
roles and identifying ways to engage with a larger community,
Recalibrate for Life 2.0: Transition Stories for Business Leaders guides
readers to discovering the fun, excitement, and rewards that accompany a
very untraditional approach to the "r-word." Finding out the
"what" in the "what's next" was the spark that
ignited Recalibrate for Life 2.0. As a boomer and owner of a successful
market research firm, Susan Spaulding was used to finding answers to
tough questions about human behavior. Based on the stories of others in
search of 'Life 2.0,' Spaulding uses a simple, but powerful set of tools
for helping others recalibrate for a deeper sense of self and purpose.
In Recalibrate for Life 2.0, there are conversations with fourteen
C-level corporate leaders and business owners who disclose with honesty
their insights, ideas and strategies as they carve out a path to a life
change. Following the conversations, there's a summary of key takeaways
and questions to ask yourself along with a simple, three-step plan that
will jumpstart the process to 'Life 2.0.' "As I transitioned from
80-hour workweeks and days spent in airports, I recognized I was just
one of 10,000 Baby Boomers "retiring" every day. I've helped
businesses recalibrate and redefine their brands so I started wondering,
'Could I do it for myself? Could I help others to do the same?,'"
Spaulding recalls. Further expanding on the insights found in
Recalibrate for Life 2.0, Spaulding is also available for interviews and
commentary to discuss: There's life after the "r-word!" How to
find your new sense of self through revitalized feelings of
purpose and identity after leaving a successful career Leveraging the
power of experimentation and community as an outlet for this
self-discovery Her own unique journey from business owner to business
partner to a solopreneur. Key tips and tools for identifying the
"what" in "what's next" And much more! Susan
Spaulding is an award-winning businesswoman, consultant, and published
author of the new book, Recalibrate for Life 2.0. Her consulting firm,
Recalibrate Strategies, LLC, was founded immediately upon leaving her
partnership position in a top 50 global marketing research firm, where
she had merged her brand performance consulting firm, Market Directions.
Spaulding's work as a business strategist, innovative market consultant,
and master facilitator focuses on leveraging insights about a business,
its brands, its customers, and the market into practical understanding
that truly informs decisions about a business. This 'business
recalibration' inspired her to help others — and herself — find
"what's next" after retirement, and is the basis of her new
book. For more information on Spaulding and her work, please visit

for Life 2.0 can be purchased from Amazon

healthy life is a healthy spine. However, 80% of

Rollors: Crafted out of Spring is here Spring is almost here, and many people will jump into the annual spring cleaning ritual in their homes and offices, trashing the old and getting rid of the clutter. But how many people will be spring cleaning their minds, or getting mentally organized? Steve Siebold is a psychological performance and mental toughness coach and author of 177 Mental Toughness Secrets of The World Class. He says if you’re not mentally organized, you’ll be wallowing around unclear about what you want and unsure if you’re competent enough to get it. Siebold’s tips to get mentally organized: - Seek solitude: Human beings need recovery strategies if they are going to be at their best, day in and day out. One of the best spring cleaning strategies for the mind is the act of solitude – or simply getting away and getting quiet because it creates more space between your thoughts and helps you escape the bondage of excessive cognition. Even just 20 to 30 minutes a day will be very beneficial. - Master Time Management: With the busy lives we lead, one of the best things anyone can do is take control of their time. The key is to use time, rather than allowing time to use you. No one can truly manage time, yet everyone can better manage activities. - Compartmentalize Your Emotions: Perhaps the greatest spring cleaning trick is compartmentalization of your emotions. This is the ability to manage multiple problems and maintain emotional control while solving each problem individually. Don’t get bogged down in every little detail of every little problem and become overwhelmed. While amateurs get tangled in emotions, the pros are grounded in logical problem solving. - Be More Decisive: The problem with indecisiveness is it clogs the mind and reduces self- confidence. Stop being timid and lacking confidence in your own abilities. Instead, become courageous and confident. Learn to make a decision and be fully responsible for the outcome. Decision-making skills are like muscles: they can only be built through use. - Learn to Forgive: If you really want to free your mind, learn to forgive. While most people plot revenge, champions learn to release their enemies and move on. Make a list of all the people you feel have slighted you to some degree, and give yourself the gift of a lifetime by forgiving them. You don’t have to tell them; simply forgive them in your heart by coming to terms that we are all fallible human beings. - Have more fun: One of the keys to spring cleaning the mind is to have more fun. Do things that encompass your natural talents, abilities, and, most of all, your passions. No matter how busy you are, set time for fun each day and better yet, find a job that you see as fun. - Think bigger: Most people think about how to survive with the least amount of pain and struggle. Ask most people around you what they think about at any given time, and you might be surprised to learn how many people think about just getting by. Stop selling yourself short! If you’re going to be thinking, you may as well think big! Don’t see the world as a scary place; see it as an exciting adventure. “The benefits of spring cleaning the mind and mental organization will reduce procrastination, improve concentration, improve your ability to prioritize and improve overall efficiency,” Siebold says. “In addition, you’ll see a better work/life balance, less stress and increased peace of mind.” I’m happy to put you in touch with Steve to talk more about spring cleaning the mind and mental organization.

March 27th breakout Please review the below article by Wharton School Fellow, Dr. Mario Moussa and Wharton Business School Lecturers and Senior Consultants, Dr. Derek Newberry and Madeline Boyer, "The Five Biggest Teamwork Ills," offered to you for publication. According to their article, "if you're like many who have done the boulder moving exercise at a corporate retreat, you should be learning about teamwork. As others join you, the collective rope-pulling effort seems to demonstrate the point. Little by little, the boulder starts moving until it nudges over the 30-foot mark. But you notice something. With each additional person who contributes to the effort, the boulder moves faster, but not as fast as you would have imagined. By the time the tenth person steps up, you feel the group is barely pulling harder than when it was only six, even though everyone seems to be working hard. This well-documented phenomenon, social loafing, is an issue that plagues any group of individuals working together, but it isn't the only one. Knowing what to look out for can be half the battle. Below are the top Five Biggest Teamwork Ills, and some prescriptions to help you avoid them." I'd love to have you share this unique perspective with your readers. Please let me know if you have any interest in the piece. Dr. Moussa, Dr. Newberry and Boyer would also be available for an interview or to provide expert commentary on this topic.

I wanted to thank you for these efforts – this is a mission I have been deeply involved in as well. If I may have just a moment of your time, I wanted to talk to you about an underserved segment among the physically disabled – and also suggest an addition to your page. Disabled individuals suffer unique challenges with mental health, addiction and access to treatment. While there are many unique mental health resources available, none of them are comprehensive and specifically tailored to the physically disabled. After research across the resources available on the web, the AAC team noticed the absence of a centralized resource designed to help understand the basics of mental health, alcohol use and addiction within this demographic and offer guidance on navigating support systems. They decided to fill this gap of knowledge. The result is this page: http://sunrisehouse.com/addiction-demographics/physically-disabled/ This page summarizes available governmental, organizational and other resources and makes them easily accessible to those searching for assistance. It includes dozens of the latest studies and external resources for the physically disabled seeking assistance. We hope that the quality of this page and the importance of the subject matter merits inclusion on your page alongside the other resources you have provided – or elsewhere on your website. Thank you so much for your time. If you have the chance, please let me know what we need to do to have this page included as a resource.

2.29.16 For
single women wondering why another year has passed Complimentary
copy of Joe Klest's newly-released book March
is National We
would like to forward a complimentary copy of Joe Klest's newly-released
book Everyone wants more money, but most people don’t know how to make it happen They
go back to school, work harder, play the lottery and get frustrated
always spinning their wheels but going nowhere fast.This is where Steve
Siebold found himself 30 years ago, $50,000 in debt. So he started
interviewing wealthy people to see what he was doing wrong. What
he found 1,200 interviews and 30 years later turned into one of the
largest case studies on the wealthy in his book How Rich People Think.
Steve found more than 100 differences how the rich look at money
compared to the middle class, and he made many millions in between. 8
secrets of the wealthy that he found: -
Formal education isn’t required. The rich certainly respect formal
education, but it’s not required to make money as an entrepreneur in
today’s world. The secret to making the big bucks: ideas that
solve problems. Since there is no shortage of ideas one can come
up with, there is never a shortage of money. -
Use logical and emotional thinking: The middle class blends emotional
thinking in their decision making process, which clouds their judgment.
The rich use left brain, logic-based, emotionless thinking to make
decisions in regards to earning, investing and saving money. They use
emotion to motivate themselves to take action. Both forms of thinking
have value. The secret is to know when to use which, and avoid blending
the two. -
Expectations are everything: You get what you expect, and that’s true
with money. Most people have very low expectations when it comes
to money. Start thinking big. Expect $100,000, $500,000 or
even one-million dollars this year. You might not make that much
but you’ll be thinking big and more likely to attract the bigger
bucks. - Stop being
afraid: Most people are terrified by money because they’re always
thinking about running out. Lose the fear and scarcity mindset and start
seeing money for all the good things: freedom, opportunity, possibility
and abundance. Life is a lot better when you have a positive association
with money. - Join the club:
Consciousness is contagious. If you wanted to lose weight, you
would join a gym and get around fit people. If you wanted to
become more religious, you would join a church, temple or other
religious body. If you want to make more money, get around the
wealthy. Learn from them. Watch how they do business.
Notice how they think about money. You’ll think you’re living on a
different planet. -
Vaccinate yourself from Either/Or Syndrome: Most us of have been told we
can’t have it all, and we must choose between having a balanced life
and being rich. The rich know you can have whatever you want, and
through leverage you can earn more while working less. -
Stop waiting for it: Many people think some outside force is going to
make them rich. They think the money is just going to come to them.
They think maybe they’ll win the lottery. Maybe they’ll
inherit it. The hero on the white horse isn’t going to come
riding in to save the day. Stop waiting for your ship to come in and
build your own ship. - Use
non-linear thinking to earn more money: Most of us are taught to trade
hours for dollars, which is the reason the average person makes little
money. The rich earn their fortunes tapping their creativity and coming
up with new ideas that serve people and solve problems. It’s not how
many hours you can work or the amount of RE: Where have all the bricklayers gone? Hope
you’re well. Thought I would drop a line to see if you would be
interested in speaking with Bob Sanders, president of MasonryWorx (www.masonryworx.com).
For years, we have heard about skilled trade shortages.
Electricians, plumbers, drywallers and the list goes on. Like
these trades, bricklayers are also in heavy demand. After increasing
significantly during the first decade of the 2000s, the number of
bricklayers decreased thereafter. According to Altus Group Economic
Consulting, “the impact of the masonry industry reaches into the
social, economic and environmental framework of our society.

masonry industry represents $5.5 billion in economic impact, $2.6

a spouse is devastating The basics of teamwork are easy to describe. The
basics of teamwork are easy to describe. You set a direction, divide up
tasks, and decide how you will work together. Seems pretty simple,
right? Not so fast. The hard part is actually keeping these commitments
during your typical workday: time-crunched and stressful,
deadline-driven, often chaotic, and full of quirky characters who have
surprising motives. Not so simple—but that is a common reality for
most teams. Dr. Mario Moussa, a Fellow at the Wharton School of
Executive Education, and Madeline Boyer and Dr. Derek Newberry, both
lecturers at the Wharton School of Business as well as consultants with
Percipient Partners, have created a research-based and field-tested
process for creating and maintaining a committed team. The process
begins with establishing the three foundations of successful teamwork:
goals, roles, and norms. They then lay out three steps for making course
corrections to keep your team motivated and on track in the fast-paced
world of work. Combine the three foundations with the three steps, and
you have what they call the 3x3 Framework. In an eye-opening, insightful
and educational interview, Dr. Moussa, Boyer and Dr. Newberry, authors
of the new book, Committed Teams: Three Steps to Inspiring Passion and
Performance, can discuss: • The five
common types of teams •
Understanding the dynamics of successful teams •
The critical points common to all great teams •
The 3x3: the evidence-based framework every team needs to deliver
results • Why most teams are
underperforming and don't even realize it •
Making team meetings efficient and productive •
Tips and tools for making virtual teams work •
Their picks for top teams in business, sports, entertainment, politics
and the arts, and what makes each team thrive •
And much more! I'd love to put you in touch with Dr. Moussa,
Boyer I'd love to put you in touch with Dr. Moussa, Boyer and Dr.
Newberry for an interview on any or all of the topics above. Advanced
review copies of their book are available. They are also taking select
byline requests at this time. Please contact me at your earliest
convenience. Full bio and links are below. I look forward to hearing
from you. Thank you, Erin MacDonald-Birnbaum 856-489-8654 x302 erin@smithpublicity.com

single women wondering Sexual and physical abuse profoundly affect not just individuals Sexual and physical abuse profoundly affect not just individuals, but communities; when the abuse is perpetrated by an adult in a position of power, the damage is incalculable. Please take a minute and say "yes" to a complimentary copy of a compelling book for consideration of a review. Like the Oscar-nominated film "Spotlight," The Devil to Pay reveals evil allowed to grow unchecked, protected by an institution; no one is called to account for decades. Author Ted Dunphy, with typical Irish wit, skillfully brings us to a different point in the story: the point at which a community decides to open its eyes to the truth. Your audience will be invigorated by Ted's compassionate yet unflinching storytelling.

And while flowers make an excellent choice for most, flowers can make a lot of people sick, including the 2.74 Canadians who suffer from Asthma. I have a contributed article that outlines how to pick allergy free flowers for that special someone and I am making it available for publication.

quick follow up on the release below because it’s absolutely frigid
outside and I’d rather be thinking about Rose
and the Wish Thing, by Caroline Magerl Teams
can be found in every organization today Teams
can be found in every organization today, and they show no signs of
going away soon. Increasingly, in fact, being good at teamwork is
synonymous with simply being good at your job. And for a valid reason:
the complexity of today's world — shaped by rapidly accelerating
technological, economic, and cultural trends — demands that
organizations of all kinds seek out the synergistic potential of teams.
But too often what they deliver is a lot of talk and little
accountability. This was the issue that led Mario Moussa, Ph.D.,
Madeline Boyer and Derek Newberry, Ph.D. to write their new book,
Committed Teams: Three Steps to Inspiring Passion and Performance
(Wiley, March 2016). Based on research from Wharton's Executive
Development Program (EDP), Committed Teams is a practical guide that
shows how to break through the common barriers to collaboration and
create a high-performing team. The book draws its insights from the
EDP's living lab: an intensive two-week simulation during which
executive-level participants run complex and highly realistic global
businesses. Dr. Moussa, Boyer and Dr. Newberry have observed over 100
teams collaborating and competing for over 100 combined simulation years
in this intense environment. It led to fundamental insights about
teamwork — what usually goes wrong, what frequently goes right, and
the methods and techniques that will help anyone access a team's full
potential. These insights have been distilled into a simple, repeatable
process that can be applied immediately. "The question we sought
out to answer was, how do you create a team that is committed to high
performance, when few teams end up being truly greater than the sum of
their parts?" says Dr. Moussa. "Our answer is a simple
approach we call the 3x3 Framework. Building a great team begins with
putting the three necessary foundations in place and using a three step
process of reflection and change to maintain peak performance. By
helping you get better at leading teams, the 3x3 will help you get
better at virtually all aspects of your work." "It's not
enough to simply commit to roles, goals, and norms and move on,"
adds Boyer. "Truly top performers are committed to maintaining high
levels of situational awareness to check in on progress and tweak their
approach over time. The same that's true for top executives, athletes,
inventors, comedians, and authors is true for anyone working on a team.
The 3x3 Framework creates a process by which teams can continually
improve and close the gap between potential and actual results."
Committed Teams uses engaging stories and examples from the worlds of
business, entertainment, sports, the arts and non-profits to illustrate
ways to: Align every member of your team behind a motivating vision Make
team meetings efficient and productive Create an engaging and energizing
work environment Stimulate creativity in group discussions Manage
virtual collaboration "Our teamwork philosophy is easy to
describe," explains Dr. Newberry. "You get organized, schedule
regular times to check on your progress, and make adjustments when
necessary. Three steps, each simple. The hard part is actually following
these steps during your typical workday when you are crunched for time,
stressed and in the middle of chaos. Most teams have to deliver results
under these difficult conditions. We wrote this book for them."
Committed Teams will be released in March. I'd love to send you an
advanced review copy for consideration or put you in touch with the
authors for an interview. They are also taking select byline requests at
this time. Please contact me at your earliest convenience. Full bio and
links are below. I look forward to hearing from you. Thank you, Erin

is Time Management Month February
is Time Management Month and I invite you to consider the below article
by Canadian Juice, Inc. co-founder Brady Wilson, "When It Comes to
Time Management, It's All About Energy". Brady's article reveals
that while time management courses can be helpful to organizations
looking to increase engagement and productivity, when a person is
depleted of energy, all the skills and know-how in the world won't be
able to help them, especially when it comes to managing their time.
That's because wherever you see high performance, you will see the
efficient management of energy. And it's time that business leaders
start looking at time management differently—through the lens of brain
science. I'd love to have you share this timely piece with your readers.
Please let me know if you have interest in running it. Brady Wilson is
also available for an interview or to provide expert commentary. Thank

men know by now not to talk with a mouth full of food Most
men know by now not to talk with a mouth full of food or to wipe their
mouth on their sleeve, but some dining etiquette points can be a bit
more nuanced. For instance, how do you order the perfect bottle of wine?
What are the appropriate conversational topics for a date? For
Valentine’s Day, International Etiquette Expert Sharon Schweitzer,
founder and CEO of Protocol & Etiquette Worldwide, offers these tips
to help men (with good info for women, too) romance their love this
weekend. Soup: Differentiate yourself from the rest of the pack –
remember the proverb, “Just like ships that sail out to sea, I spoon
my soup away from me.” 2. Invitations: The
person extending the invitation is the host and is responsible for
payment of the bill. When extending invitations, inquire about special
dietary requests such as food allergies or kosher, halal, gluten-free,
sugar-free and dairy-free diets. Book a restaurant that accommodates
these needs. Guests don’t split the bill. Complimentary

lilies or a “you’re a great friend” with yellow potted begonias.

Wegscheider-Cruse's new book Her tips to being a better Uber passenger: Order
when 100% ready: Only order your vehicle when you are completely ready
to go, you are fully dressed, completely groomed and have all packages
and bags with you. The driver may be around the corner one minute away.
Don’t make them wait, even though some drivers may wait for a few
minutes. With UberPOOL,
other customers don’t want to wait for you either. -
Crowded pick-up point: After ordering your vehicle, if your location is
crowded, contact the driver by text only to describe what color clothing
you are wearing. - Contacting
the driver: Avoid calling or texting a driver unless absolutely
necessary. Not only is using a handheld device prohibited in many cities
and localities; it is dangerous, because they are driving at the time. -
Confirm your driver: Check you have the right driver and vehicle by
confirming the driver’s face, vehicle and license number, and name
before you enter the vehicle. The Uber APP provides a photo of the
driver, their name, and the make & license of the vehicle.
Double check the license number and photo if you have any uncertainty. -
Plan to open your own car door: Depending on the city, traffic patterns
and local ordinances, some drivers may open the car door for you. In
certain locales this is prohibited. Please don’t act like you are
entitled to this service. -

Faces®, January is National Train January
is National Train Your Dog Month and it's no surprise that this
awareness month falls when it does after so many dogs were welcomed into
their new home around the holidays. Whether it's a puppy or an older,
adopted dog, every new owner will be faced with the challenges of
training their new addition. However, it's not as simple as
"Sit" and "Stay," if you want to truly create a
comfortable and well-established dynamic between you, your family and
fido. "We humans have invited a completely different species, in
that of our dogs, to live with us," says expert animal behaviorist
and dog trainer, Bryan Bailey. "Dogs are a species that is governed
by a thread created millions of years ago to safeguard the wolf in a
very competitive and hostile world. This thread has diminished greatly
under the persistent influence of man, yet the invisible thread of
instinct has remained intact. This is why my methodology for training
dogs is straight out of nature's lesson plan." Focused on
activating or deactivating the natural, wolf-like impulses and behaviors
in our dogs that are needed to conform to our human existence, Bailey's

elaborate on: His top tips for getting started with training a new dog
Specific tips for dog-related issues such as aggression towards dogs
and/or humans, chewing, jumping, submissiveness, fear, etc. Why it's
appropriate to think of your dog as a domestic wolf instead of a little
human in a fur coat Why dog aggression is on the rise and the importance
of understanding that it cannot be trained out, bred out or medicated

equality The many different methodologies to dog training and how to

According to their article, "The world of sales is changing. Technology seems to be driving the sales vehicle in today's society, but it's the old school, tried and true, consultative techniques that separate the good from the great sales professional, which can be encapsulated primarily by this one statement, which will always be true: People buy from people they like and trust.

at Syngenta, IWGSC, major universities in the Happy New Year! Hello!
Scientists and health-care advocates are encouraged by new research that
has found vitamin D may help repair damage to myelin — the protective
sheath surrounding nerve fibers — in people with multiple sclerosis (MS).The
study, conducted by the University of
Cambridge in
England and published earlier this month in the Journal of
Cell Biology, offers significant evidence that vitamin D could one day
be used as a treatment for MS. Researchers from the MS Society Cambridge
Centre for Myelin Repair found that the vitamin D receptor protein pairs
with an existing protein, called the RXR gamma receptor, which has
already proven to help repair myelin. The study, led by Professor Robin
Franklin, determined that the production rate of myelin-making cells (oligodendrocytes)
increased by 80% when added to brain stem cells where the proteins were
present. Further study is needed to determine whether the results found
in the lab hold true in patients with MS during clinical trials. An
estimated 100,000 Canadians have MS — the highest prevalence rate in
the world. The Vitamin D Society, a Canadian non-profit group organized
to increase awareness of the many health conditions strongly linked to
vitamin D deficiency, is following the research closely. The
organization encourages Canadians to be proactive in protecting their
health and have their vitamin D levels tested annually. In Legalization

Regardless of who you are, or where you live, no one feels their life is
perfect. Every man, woman, and child encounters difficulties or
setbacks, along with corresponding feelings of fear, sadness, or even
shame. It is natural to try and protect yourself and your family from
such harsh feelings and difficult times. However, blocking out or
protecting others from these feelings could actually do damage to a
person's well-being. Meet Vivian Dittmar - business coach, speaker, and
author of the groundbreaking book, The Power of Feelings: A
Practical Guide to Emotional Intelligence. Through her career as a coach
and author, Dittmar has learned how feelings are created, the
difference between feelings and emotions, and why each has its own
purpose. Through her experiences and research, she also learned
that some of the strongest and most challenging feelings that we
experience are actually necessary tools towards developing a healthy
emotional response to the world around you. "In order to liberate
the power of your feelings, you need to understand their real
purpose," says Dittmar. "Once you understand their purpose –
even the most challenging ones - you will be able to embrace them, which
will ultimately maximize your emotional potential and
intelligence." Bringing extensive knowledge and first-hand
experience, Dittmar is available for immediate interviews and commentary
to discuss: Emotional Intelligence: How we can improve our own
emotional intelligence and apply it in our daily lives Overcoming
Emotional Baggage: Effective ways to move beyond the past and deal
with emotional issues Anger and Sadness: How negative feelings such as
anger and sadness perform important functions in our relationships and
lives Personal and Professional Relationships: Why relationships can be
so difficult to develop and maintain in today's modern society and
culture Participatory Leadership: How today's managers, business owners,
and executives can use this leadership style (i.e., inviting employees
to share in organizational decision-making) to increase employee morale,
creativity, and retention Please let me know if you might be interested
in interviewing to Vivian. I look forward to hearing from you.

Vivian Dittmar grew up on three continents in three different
cultures. In doing so, she developed a unique perspective on
humans and their interactions. Traveling between first, second,
and third-world nations, she was struck by the contrast between people's
external wealth and their corresponding life issues. Her
experiences led her to pursue a career in the fields of self-help and
personal development. Throughout her career, Dittmar has worked in I'd
like to be able to make your job easier in 2016 Fire
Starters and Rain Crusaders It’s almost the New Year It’s almost the New Year and that means people everywhere will be making their annual New Year’s resolutions. But for most, by February, these goals will be nothing more than a memory to revisit at the beginning of next year. How can you make your 2016 resolutions a reality? Steve Siebold, a psychological performance and mental toughness coach, who is author of 177 Mental Toughness Secrets of The World Class, offers this advice: - It’s all or nothing: It sounds harsh, but 99% compliance is failure. You either go after your goals with 100% effort, or don’t bother trying. You wouldn’t cheat on your spouse in a committed relationship, so don’t cheat on something as important as your resolutions. - It’s not about winning, but wanting to win that counts. Winners have a “whatever it takes” attitude. They’ve made the decision to pay any price and bear any burden in the name of victory. - Expect the obstacles. Most people run into a challenge or obstacle and seek immediate escape. Have a plan to push forward when this happens. If you’re not ready to suffer during adversity, you’re not going to be successful. You need to know going in that making a change is going to be hard work, not a walk in the park. - Don’t focus on how to do it, but rather, why should I do it? Why do I want this goal to become a reality? The intensity of emotion with which this question is answered will determine whether the dream comes alive or dies. - Get really clear about what you want to change. Vagueness doesn’t work with goal setting. Don’t just say “I want to lose weight,” but get really specific and say, “By March 1, I want to lose 15 pounds. I’m going to eat well, exercise each day and get really committed to doing this once and for all.” - Set a timeline. Setting a timeline helps avoid procrastination. The way the mind works, a timeline gives you something to strive for. - Focus on your self-talk. Be careful what you say to yourself, because your thoughts dictate your behavior. In fact, 77% of what we say to ourselves is negative, so don’t give into the negative thoughts that the goal is impossible. Keep asking yourself, “How can I make this happen?” - Seeing is believing: A vision board helps keep you motivated because it helps you see the end result of the goal you’re trying to achieve. If you want to lose weight, for example, cutout pictures of really fit people and tape them on a poster board. Hang the vision board in a very visible location. This will reinforce the goals into your subconscious and help you push forward on those tough days. You can also write a letter describing your life to a friend detailing the way you want things to be a year from now. Read the letter anytime you need a lift-me-up. - Get an accountability buddy. One of the biggest problems is that most people have no means of accountability or a support system in place. Go after your goals with a partner who really makes you push yourself. Even better, find someone who has already achieved what you are setting out after and have them coach you. - Ignore the naysayers: There will be people who say you can’t do it and that you should just leave well enough alone. Drop your addiction to the approval of others, ignore them and keep pushing forward. Achieving world-class success in anything means believing in yourself no matter what others think or say. If you would be interested in speaking to Steve about ways to make good on those New Year’s resolutions, I am happy to set it up.

Sternthal, a Living Feelings: How to incorporate conscious feelings into your daily life "When
I felt it was time to write my first book, I took a look at what was on
the market in the field of personal development and felt the greatest
deficit was in the realm of feelings and emotions," says Dittmar.
"I had been emotionally challenged in my life and was unsatisfied
with the answers I could find. This dissatisfaction caused me to start
investigating the matter within me, with the people I worked with, and
in seminars and groups. When it was time to write the book, we collected
questions about feelings from people of all walks of life looking for
the same answers. This material later became the first version of The
Power of Feelings." Please let me know if you might be interested

York businessman who went from thousands of dollars in debt to a
millionaire; and 3) a Miami "power couple" who met through the
course and are now happily married.Grace just launched her own original

We have also had the honour of making clothing for Leonardo DiCaprio, Hugh Grant, Stephen Fry, Daniel Craig, Ben Stiller, Jeremy Piven, Rod Stewart, Brandon Flowers, Robbie Williams, Nile Rodgers, Michael Portillo, Stephen Merchant, Frankie Valli and the Elton John Band. Here is some more info on my story so far: http://www.tomcridland.co.uk/pages/about A month ago, inspired by my experiences thus far, I founded Tom Cridland Public Relations to disrupt the industry of fashion PR, which I believe is full of agencies cheating young designers, entrepreneurs and independent brands by charging exorbitant monthly fees for doing absolutely nothing. My agency will only work with brands that I believe share my values of transparency and fairness. I am already receiving over 200 enquiries a week and we’ve just signed our first 10 clients. 12.10.15 Would you be interested in covering my story? Key details: Tom Cridland Public Relations: I was nearly bankrupted, as a young entrepreneur just starting out, by PR agencies and serviced retailers and this is what inspired me to start my agency last month. My menswear brand has always sought to innovate by creating products like The 30 Year Sweatshirt and I want to do the same in fashion PR alongside this. There are wonderful young designers and independent brands out there that could and should be getting a lot of press, but they might find it difficult due to simply being overworked as it is. More info on Tom Cridland Public Relations: http://www.tomcridland.co.uk/pages/tomcridlandpublicrelations The 30 Year Sweatshirt: this has led an industry trend to put an end to planned obsolescence in fashion that causes a needless cycle of consumption and waste (no doubt you are aware that fashion is the world’s second least environmentally friendly industry after oil). A combination of technology, premium fabrics and old school craftmanship make it built to last a lifetime. Our craftsmen and seamstresses have been making clothing since 1964 and still have sweatshirts made in the late 1970s in excellent condition, so our 30 Year Guarantee is no gimmick. Business Story: I started Tom Cridland in 2014 with a £6,000 government start-up loan. With no further investment, we turned over £250,000 in our first year simply through organic growth. We’ve recently been working with, Deki, a British charity that gives entrepreneurs in the developing world living in abject poverty the opportunity to work on their ideas.

I'm sure you know how sensitive babies skin can be, and you want to protect them from harsh chemicals. Lovey's brand has created the Tushi Wash and Tushi Stick to do just that! The Tushi (our wash comes in a convenient spray bottle, and helps to reduce the chance of irritation and redness. The Tushi Stick (which renders chemical ridden diaper rash creams unnecessary) works to ease the irritation of diaper rash while moisturizing the skin.

I have included additional information below for you to check out...let me know what you think Bonus: Try the Tushi Stick on eczema, windburns, scrapes, chaffed and dry skin too! Try the Tushi Wash on messy faces and hands at the mall, the playground or the ice cream parlour – wherever your kids get dirty! 12.10.15 All-natural products protect babies' delicate skin - The options are endless when it comes to taking care of your baby's diapering needs, but for parents craving a natural solution for their child's sensitive skin, Lovey's makes the decision easy. The Lovey's brand offers parents all-natural products like the Tushi Wash and Tushi Stick to protect their child's delicate skin and avoid harsh chemicals. "We don't claim to be natural and then sneak in chemicals," says Lovey's creator Marcie Weinstein "We scrutinize our ingredients carefully before deciding what is going to go on your baby's tushi." The Tushi Wash comes in a convenient spray bottle to lightly mist your baby's washcloth before cleaning their bum. The gentle, natural cleansers and soothing ingredients in the spray reduce the chance of irritation and redness, and the bottle includes a trigger lock that makes it suitable to toss into the diaper bag without worrying about spills and leaks. Also great for the diaper bag is the lab-tested Tushi Stick. This product renders chemical-laden diaper rash creams unnecessary due to its natural preservatives. These preservatives kill the bacteria on your baby's skin and the stick itself. The applicator allows parents to keep their hands clean while the natural diaper ointment works to ease the irritation of diaper rash while moisturizing their baby's skin. Both the Tushi Wash and Tushi Stick can be used with disposable diapers, cloth diapers, and reusable wipes, and have both been proven effective for babies with sensitive skin. The wash is just $12.99, and the stick is $16.99. Make Lovey's part of your diapering essentials today by visiting Loveys.ca, Amazon.ca or Amazon.com.

Thanksgiving is today, which means that once the turkey is gone, everyone's minds will be on Christmas! If your family is like many others, creating new holiday traditions is one of the most cherished parts of the season.

Sure to delight children of all ages, as well as parents, Reindeer Dust represents so much of what the season is about: family, fun, magic, and the power of believing. A perfect holiday gift for your family or others – please let me know if you would like to receive a complimentary review copy of Reindeer Dust.

water bills on the minds of Canadians, Adam Findlay, Senior
Marketing Manager at Pfister, manufacturers of innovative and
eco-friendly faucets, is available to chat with you about ways that
homeowners can cut down on their water usage and save money on their
water bill. Adam recommends the following tips to help conserve water:
Make use of rainwater - Collect rainwater and use it to water plants and
wash your car. A rain barrel collecting water from your eaves trough
downspout is both environmentally and financially smart. Nothing saves
on a water bill like using what nature provides for free. Don’t leave
the water running - Use a touch-free faucet so you’re not caught
running the tap longer than necessary. These high-tech kitchen faucets
help stop the spread of germs while reducing your overall water usage by
automatically shutting off with the wave of your hand. Every second of
running water adds up and a touch-free faucet cuts off exactly when you
need it to. Keep drinking water in the fridge – Running the tap to get
cold drinking water is both time consuming and wasteful. Consider
storing drinking water in the fridge so when you go looking for a cool
drink it is readily available. Install a new toilet – You old toilet
is flushing money down the drain. Go with a new model that uses less
water to flush or one that has two flushing modes. Your toilet can be
one of the largest water consuming items in your house so update it and
go with a smaller version. Use an eco-friendly showerhead - Installing
an eco-friendly showerhead is an inexpensive way to automatically reduce
the amount of water you use in the shower. Modern eco-friendly
showerheads don’t compromise performance so there’s no need to fear
a weak water flow. It’s also worthwhile to consider avoiding baths, as
they use much more water than a typical shower. Reconsider how you
doyour dishes – Wash your dishes in a half full sink and only use the
dishwasher for full loads. A partial load can use the same amount of
water, but you will be washing more often and wasting both energy and
water. Adam is available to speak with you about these water saving
tips. Feel free to drop me a line if you’re interested in speaking
with him. Photos available. All the best, Erika As an
industry leader in faucet innovations and designs, Pfister is committed
to providing sustainable solutions to help households conserve water and
protect the environment. Pfister eco-friendly faucets are certified by

standards of efficiency. How much does it cost to advertise in the

Center 2100 Marlowe, 5th Floor, Let me know if you are interested in covering. Release is below. --Nicki Cold Shoulder LLC Surpasses Kickstarter Goal in Under 10 Hours. Known for their popular weight loss vests, Cold Shoulder releases their new PRO Vest on Kickstarter and raises thousands of dollars within hours of launch Cold Shoulder, LLC launched their Pro Vest, the latest version of their widely popular weight loss vests, on Kickstarter last week and hit their goal of $20,000 in under 10 hours. The campaign, which will continue to run through Saturday, December 19th, aims to bring the new PRO Weight Loss Vest to the market. The PRO Vest provides consumers with a less expensive, one-size fits all comfort option, powered by patented CryoMax Gel Ice, allowing for longer lasting cold coverage. CryoMax Gel Ice is a patented, American made, high-tech food grade gel, allowing up to eight hours of cold coverage and giving users wearing the PRO Vest the potential to burn almost double the calories of the previous Classic vest, which was estimated to burn up to 500 calories a day when worn twice daily. "We are taking our vests to the next level with the use of CryoMax Gel Ice," said Cold Shoulder Vest Inventor and NASA Scientist Dr. Wayne B. Hayes." "It is the latest advancement in cold technology for Thermogenesis and we have secured this leading technology exclusively for the benefit of our customers." The design utilizes thermogenesis, a proven scientific method of calorie burning fueled by mild cold exposure. The ice from the vest lowers one's body temperature safely, which in turn signals it to burn more calories in order to stay at its ideal core temperature. Currently the campaign has raised closed to $43,000 and continues to grow daily. "I am not surprised by the numbers we are seeing with this campaign," said Dr. Hayes. "Our vests have proven to work tremoundously in the past and we are providing people with a convenient and effective way to burn calories at a time when they otherwise would not, such as sitting down watching TV, at your computer or on the road." From their desk at the office to their couch at home, wearers can don their vests anywhere and at any time. Cold Shoulder LLC is owned and operated by the husband and wife team of Dr. Wayne B. Hayes and Jocelyn Hayes. In 2015, they launched their first design, the Classic, and raised over $280K in 30 days from people in 37 countries. By harnessing the power of thermogenesis to burn extra calories, they are helping countless people around the world reach their weight loss goals safely and effectively.

in relationships seem to be about the same things; money, sex, parenting

underneath those topics that really fuel fights. In Dr. Michelle Brody's

clever illustrations to show couples 'the big picture' of those patterns
and proven strategies to help break the cycle to build a healthier, more
lasting relationship. We are Team Galaxy We do believe this news can grasp attention of your readers interested in photography. We are Team Galaxy, a group of professional photographers, and now we are working on a new photography project which was inspired by a rare find that remained covered for more than 100 years, and that had only been found two years ago. It was the notebook of George Murray Levick who had joined the Terra Nova expedition to the South Pole at the beginning of the last century. Photographer’s notebooks have accompanied professionals for a long time. We have also been using such record books. Apart from this, we have a yearbook where we put down all major events in the world of photography. And now we decided to combine both of them and create something special for all photographers. In our ultimate photographer’s planner you will find three sections: - a monthly planner with all major world photography events, their conditions, websites and deadlines; - a log for inputting the data about your pictures; - technical data sheets with all the information needed to make a good shot. Here is our new project link We have also successfully landed a new photo paper campaign on Kickstarter (https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/114183606/galaxy-hyper-speed-direct-positive-photo-paper ).

I wanted to share with you the results of a research project we've recently completed as I think it could make a fun and light-hearted story for you and your readers. You may have seen research claiming to know the most attractive names in online dating. We wanted to know too – but we wanted a specifically Canadian twist. We have analyzed the user data belonging to 8,000 Canadian members of EliteSingles and have discovered what our members think are Canada's smartest, funniest and sexiest first names – and, as it turns out, Micheals* are considered extremely attractive (or at least have a good opinion of themselves) while Jordans may not make very exciting dates. *And yes, that is is Micheal with an eal (as in Micheal Kane!). For more detail on the Canada-specific study, including the method and each category's shortlist of the most and least attractive male/female first names, please read the press release below. We've also attached an infographic that you are more than welcome to share along with the story (please give credit to www.elitesingles.ca where possible). As always, if you have any questions or would like this press release in PDF format, please don't hesitate to get in touch. Thanks you for your time and have a wonderful rest of the week!

Last year, Americans spent a whopping $50.9 billion during Thanksgiving weekend shopping, and this year Americans plan to spend even more money at the holidays according to new research from consulting firm Accenture. For many consumers, it will lead to more debt than they already have, higher monthly credit card payments and financial ruin. Steve Siebold, author of How Rich People Think, and a self-made multi-millionaire who has interviewed more than 1,200 of the world’s wealthiest people over the past 30 years, offers this advice on not overspending: · Don’t fall for marketing campaigns that make you feel as if you’re getting a great deal when you’re really not (i.e. buy it today – pay for it tomorrow) · Allocate a certain amount of money for each person you plan on buying gifts for and don’t overspend by even a dollar. · Don’t even think of using a credit card unless you are 100% sure you can comfortably pay it off at the end of the month. · Don’t get caught up in the moment. If your shopping cart is overflowing, step back, regroup and make sure you can really afford everything you plan to purchase. · There’s no shame in telling people that this year will be a lean holiday season when it comes to exchanging gifts. · Ask yourself if you would rather have the short-term satisfaction of expensive material possessions, or the long-term results of financial freedom and abundance. · There are good deals to be had on Black Friday, but be mentally tough to know when enough is enough. · When it comes to spending this holiday season, leave your emotions on the shelf and let reason be your guide. · Limit charitable giving. Helping others is a nice gesture and certainly in the spirit of the holidays, but until you’re financially comfortable yourself, you can’t give what you don’t have. A little leftover change is one thing, but those who try and support every cause known to man but can’t afford to are doing more harm than good. · Kids learn by example. Even parents who have failed to reach their financial dreams can still teach their kids important lessons about money during the holiday season. Please let me know if you would be interested in speaking to Steve. Or Feel free to use these tips with proper attribution. www.howrichpeoplethinkbook.com Thanks!

the ‘Black Friday’ The notion of ‘Black Friday’ has become a week-long event” states Sam Sisakhti, Entrepreneur and founder / CEO of UsTrendy. “This has rapidly evolved over the past few years as retailers look to squeeze additional revenue out of their stores with competitive discounts and other incentives.” Major retailers specifically in the clothing and fashion sectors are beginning their BlackFriday sales incentives as early as today to get an early start on the holiday shopping season. UsTrendy, for example, will run a “Countdown Sale” to provide additional discounts and sales incentives during the days leading up to Friday. Sisakhti indicates this is starting to become the “norm” especially for clothing and fashion retailers. “Our operating costs continue to rise throughout the year so we try to create additional revenue opportunities by starting our holiday shopping season up to 5 days earlier” states Sisakhti. “Macy’s and Sears really started this trend and competitors were forced to follow their lead.” Sisakhti additional thoughts: In store sales will have to compete against online however. Retailers (like UsTrendy) can put themselves at an extreme advantage by maximizing their online presence. Business owners must understand their client base and create customized marketing solutions to ensure all of their demographics are being targeted with their early shopping advertisements. Sam Sisakhti is available to discuss the early Black Friday discount incentives for clothing and fashion retailers. If you are interested, please contact Sam Sisakhti at sam@ustrendy.com or 617 680 9228.

From American Thanksgiving Day Thanksgiving is almost here and while you’re planning that great turkey dinner, don’t forget about sprucing up your home as you welcome friends and family to celebrate the holiday with you. Designer Robin Wilson, founder and CEO of Robin Wilson Home, who focuses on creating healthy and beautiful spaces for her clients and has products at national retailers, offers these seven tips to create a warm, inviting and healthy home this Thanksgiving: - Start with curb appeal: The exterior is the first impression your guests get of your home so you want it to look clean and inviting. Add fresh mulch, trim overgrown trees and shrubs and plant new flowers, and make sure the front door is freshly painted. Always wear a mask to prevent breathing in fumes and goggles to protect your eyes. - Make the windows sparkle with newspaper: Yes, you read that right. Spray your windows with non-toxic cleaner and wipe away with newspaper. The high absorbency of newsprint makes it so effective at cleaning windows because it absorbs the liquid instead of pushing it away. Be careful to stay on the glass and not dirty up moldings and trim. Clean the chimney and stove: This isn’t just to help Santa when he descends into your home next month. A dirty chimney is a fire hazard and can release toxins into your home. On a related note, it’s also a good idea to clean your stove before you do any intensive holiday cooking. It’s also a good time to make sure smoke and carbon monoxide detectors are working and have new batteries. - Switch to LED lighting – If you’re doing a lot of entertaining this holiday season, switching to LED lighting will keep your electric bills down. LED lighting is the most energy efficient lighting source available. And if you have young children, LED lights are cool to the touch. - Get your couches and rugs professionally cleaned: sofas and rugs can harbor all kinds of allergens, mold and bacteria. And if you have dogs or cats, removing the dander will help you and your guests prevent the “wheezes and sneezes.” Plus, a good looking couch will attract your company allowing time to catchup and reminisce, or just watch the parade or football games together. - Put on fresh bed linens: If out-of-town family and friends are staying with you, new linens are always a nice touch. Hypoallergenic comforters and pillows are a good choice especially if you don’t know if your guests have any allergy/asthma issues. For this reason, also use nylon shower curtains which don’t off-gas like vinyl does. - Non-toxic cleaners this time of year: With the cooler weather, most people keep their windows shut for the next five months, keeping everything sealed up and trapped inside. For this reason, it’s especially important in the winter to use non-toxic cleaners as you prepare your home for the holidays. - Make it smell like the holidays - To make it feel like the holidays it needs to smell like the holidays. Consider soy candles as a healthy alternative to regular candles, which not only add a visual element and warmth, but come in a variety of scents. As part of your Thanksgiving and holiday coverage, please consider using these tips or speaking to Robin. www.robinwilsonhome.com http://cleandesignbook.com/ Thanks!

states have currently legalized the use of medical marijuana We are now scheduling holiday-themed interviews with "The Wolf Whisperer!" The
holidays are a bittersweet occasion in that it's a time of reuniting

Pharma vs. medical alternatives According to Marsh, a global leader in insurance broking According to Marsh, a global leader in insurance broking and risk management, changes in the way that companies and authorities interact mean that traditional directors and officers (D&O) insurance products may not provide executives with the protection they now require. As regulators and prosecutors increasingly seek to hold individuals in senior management personally accountable for ‘corporate wrongdoing,’ there is increased pressure for companies to investigate internal conduct and report any findings to authorities. Companies that cooperate in this way may be able to enter into agreements that reduce or remove corporate liability for reportable conduct. While this cooperation reduces the company’s liability, individuals may be left exposed to criminal charges and regulatory discipline. Marsh has enhanced Marsh Alpha in response to the new and emerging legal and regulatory risks facing directors and officers. Marsh Alpha now includes broad investigation cover, including cover for purely internal investigations; a broader definition of non-indemnified loss; and terms that permit the submission and review of defense expenses to insurers, without compromising the insureds’ privileges, which could prejudice them in the underlying action.

Do you have any stories planned focusing on new developments in South Florida or the real estate market in general? If so, I would love to provide you with additional information on the Auberge Beach Residences & Spa Fort Lauderdale which I’ve outline below. Look forward to hearing your interest, : Erica Feher 10.09.15 Auberge Beach Residences & Spa Fort Lauderdale I
wanted to make sure you are aware of a new, ultra-high-end property
under development in Oximity,
the global people-powered news platform I
wanted to send over a quick note to see what you're currently working
on. I thought Smart
Mom Jewelry would be great for you to consider for your
upcoming issues! I have heard numerous complaints from friends
about their babies grabbing their necklaces and putting it into their
mouths(YUCK)! Smart Mom Jewelry has come up with a fashion forward
solution to this problem (and created some cool Celeb Fans in the
process)! They created their signature line of Teething
Bling which doubles as a necklace for mom and chew toy for
baby, and they have recently launched their new line of Teething
Bling letters and Glow in the Dark pendants! The Teething Bling
letters are totally unique, nothing else like it on the market. These
letters are perfect for adults or older kids (which makes them even more
fun!) The Glow
in the Dark pendants look like regular' necklaces
during the day but put them under a light source and they'll emit a
soothing, pretty, greenish glow at night! Perfect for nighttime
feedings, anxious kids who need a 'night light' close by or just for
fun. The best part is that each pendant is crafted from non-toxic,
phthalate, BPA, PVC, latex, and lead free silicon, and embellished with
a breakaway clasp for added safety. This is a HUGE problem solver
for Moms!! See below for a few images, but you really have to check
this one out in person! Let me know where I can send a sample for
you!:) From their first Teething Bling necklace in 2002 to an
internationally recognized brand coveted by moms everywhere, Smart Mom
Jewelry has come a long way on its journey from inspiration to success.
Their products have been featured in numerous publications including
People, Pregnancy & Newborn, and the Washington Post, and have won
the iParenting Media Award and Mom's Best Award. They can be found in
retailers across the country and overseas including such stores as
Target, Hallmark, and Buy Buy Baby. Let me know if you have any
questions! All the best, Alisha Dickinson

War Kids began in August '04 with friends, jangly guitar, hand claps,
and a Harmony amp in a storage room atop Advanced technology of ZeroWater I hope you had a wonderful weekend! I am just touching base in regards to the emails I sent you over the past few weeks in regards to the newest products offered by ZeroWater; ZeroWater Mini and ZeroWater ReadyPour. The Mini allows Brita users to test the advanced technology of ZeroWater's filters without having to buy a brand new filtration system immediately. And ReadyPour is the first to market pitcher that allows you to keep filling your glass while the water is still filtering! I am including further information below and you can also preview their media kit online at www.zerowater.com/mediakit. I look forward to hearing from you and hopefully working with you on this amazing brand and their continued development of advanced water filtration for the home. Ready-Pour's innovative sealed lid and reservoir enables the pitcher to be kept full while adding up to two cups of additional capacity, helping to eliminate the wasted space on the top of the pitcher. That means it can hold 10 cups total (eight within the pitcher itself and two in the reservoir). The underneath water filter assembly ensures water passes directly through and not under the filter. As a result, users of the Ready-Pour Pitcher can rest assured that every drop they are drinking has been filtered via ZeroWater's patented five-stage, dual-ion exchange filtration system. The Ready-Pour Pitcher from ZeroWater retails for $37.99 and comes with an integrated Total Dissolved Solids meter. ZeroWater's new Mini Filter allows owners of other counter top filtration systems to enjoy the superior filtration technology without having to buy a whole new system. With recent studies showing that top brands in water filtration are not performing as well as they could be, ZeroWater, is handily beating them with the launch of the new Mini Filter. For just a $4.99 per-filter cost, users of countertop filtration systems can keep their existing containers yet enjoy ZeroWater's 99.6% dissolved solids removal rate. Using a five-layer filtration process versus the two stages that Brita uses, in all ZeroWater filters including the newest Mini Filter, ZeroWater produces the purest-tasting water on the market. The newest product is also equipped with color change technology, which allows users to know exactly when to change the filter.

The FDA and its international counterparts are more closely scrutinizing life sciences companies today through planned and unplanned inspections to ensure current good manufacturing processes (cGMP) are being followed. When these inspections result in a suspension of manufacturing, whether voluntary or enforced, the resulting costs are not typically covered by traditional business interruption insurance policies since they are not the result of physical damage to the insured's property. To fill this void, Marsh and Munich Re developed NDBI Pharma IQ. The policy offers life sciences companies that suspend their manufacturing and distribution due to a cGMP violation, up to $10 million in aggregate non-damage business interruption and extra expense coverage for up to 10 manufacturing locations, including those owned by third parties.

believe you can't make a difference," Remember those New Year’s resolutions you made on January 1? Remember those New Year’s resolutions you made on January 1? Tomorrow marks 100 days left in the year. If you forgot about your resolutions back in February, you can still finish the year off strong. “Whether it’s losing weight, quitting smoking, getting organized or climbing out of debt, everyone CAN still reach their goals,” says Steve Siebold, author of 177 Mental Toughness Secrets of The World Class, and an expert in the field of mental toughness training and critical thinking. “People need to focus on their thoughts, beliefs, philosophies and attitudes – otherwise they are setting themselves up to fail before they even begin.” Here are 10 tips from Siebold for making the most of the last 100 days of 2015 and making good on those New Year’s resolutions: · Don’t focus on how to do it, but rather, why should I do it? Why do I want this goal to become a reality? The intensity of emotion with which this question is answered will determine whether the dream comes alive or dies. · Winning isn’t everything, but wanting to win is. Many times the only thing that separates winners from losers is the thought process. Winners have a “whatever it takes” attitude. They’ve made the decision to pay any price and bear any burden in the name of victory. · Get really clear about what you want to change. Define what it is and then get totally committed to doing it. You can’t just say, “I want to make more money” or “I want to lose weight.” Really get specific. “I want to increase my income by 20 percent and I’m going to read 10 books by January 1, network with the top thought leaders in my field and find a mentor.” Or, “I want to lose 15 pounds by the end of the year. I’m going to join a gym, workout five days a week and change my diet.” · Avoid delusion and operate from objective reality. In other words, don’t expect reaching your goals to be a walk in the park. Know that it’s going to take a lot of hard work and there will be plenty of temptation to derail you along the way. · Expect to feel pain or suffer. Most people feel the pain or run into an obstacle and seek escape. Have a plan to push forward when this happens. If you’re not ready to suffer during adversity, you’re not going to be successful. · Developing a world-class self-talk may be the most powerful mental toughness tool. In other words, you have to learn to rely on you and become your own best source of support. · Take risks. Don’t always have a “play it safe” or “stay below the radar” mentality. Without risk, there can be no progress. Each time you take a risk it’s an opportunity for learning and a chance to increase your confidence. · Feed your visions and starve your fears. In other words, don’t give into the negative thoughts that the goal is impossible. Ask yourself how can it be done? · Compartmentalize your emotions and focus completely on the goal. This means becoming so laser focused on your goal and not worrying about the less important things in your life that don’t need immediate attention. · Stop caring about what other people think of your dreams. Psychologists call it “approval addiction,” and once you overcome it to any significant degree, you are free of the psychological chains that bind most people from ever experiencing world-class success. Siebold say, “100 days is plenty of time to accomplish any goal you have. It’s time to get mentally tough and make a plan for long-term success. While amateurs often live in the past, champions look toward the future. Focus on the present while creating your ultimate vision for, and landscape of the future. Future orientation allows you to dream of grand visions and unlimited possibilities. It will also keep you motivated and moving forward because it keeps the proverbial carrot out in front. It all begins with taking full responsibility for your life and your future.” Please let me know if you would be interested in speaking with Steve or feel free to use the information with proper attribution. www.mentaltoughnesssecrets.com Thanks!

Contact: Promise to apply the second half of our life to helping others How
many of us can say we made a promise to apply the second half of our
life to helping others, and then followed through? Tim Gurung did - and
he is living it today. Born and raised in Lots of misinformation on (our) oral health resulting in a waste of money We all know the importance of brushing our teeth and flossing, but there’s a lot of misinformation when it comes to our oral health resulting in a waste of money, gum disease, tooth loss and more. To clear up the confusion, Dr. Susan Maples, author of Blabber Mouth! 77 Secrets Only Your Mouth Can Tell You To Live a Healthier, Happier, Sexier Life, who has been named one of the top eight innovators in U.S. dentistry, breaks through some of the biggest myths about our oral health. - Swish off the claims about mouth rinses. Nix mouthwashes with alcohol because this is a preserving agent that can actually cause oral cancer. Stay away from mouthwashes that claim to make you teeth feel smooth as they contain a detergent that coats the plaque and debris trapping it underneath the slick. Finally, save your money on rinses that claim to “whiten” teeth. It doesn’t work in the typical 30-second rinse. - Tooth lightening: The secret to pearly whites or is it? Tooth lightening can brighten your teeth, but chasing an unceasing glow-in-the-dark smile can damage pulp and cause teeth to die. Over-the-counter products will only lighten your teeth by one or two shades. Avoid one-hour laser or light therapy because it’s temporary and dehydrates the teeth. The best results come through bleaching with custom trays only available through your dentist. - How hard should it be? The only choice for hardness in a toothbrush is not hard at all. Make sure you always choose soft bristles to avoid traumatizing your gums. Scrubbing with a medium or hard bristle brush can make the gums recede from the teeth and it’s irreversible except through surgery. - Get probed. Your dentist should provide a thorough perio exam at least once each year that includes “pocket” measurements using a probe around the cuff of each tooth. Good numbers are 3 mm or less. Bad are 4mm or worse. Periodontal disease is the #1 reason adults lose teeth, and unlike other bones in your body which can heal when broken, the bone you lose around your teeth doesn’t grow back. - Let ‘em bleed. If your gums bleed when you brush or floss, don’t stop your routine. Bleeding is a natural response when you clean inflamed gums and isn’t from brushing or flossing too hard. Keep at it to reduce the bacteria and avoid periodontal disease. The bleeding will subside as the bacteria load is cleaned up. - The lowdown on tooth sensitivity. A cold-sensitive tooth does not signify a dying tooth like a heat-sensitive tooth does. Cold sensitivity can heal and reverse itself. Toothaches stimulated by heat or biting pressure toothaches that appear without any stimulus are signs that you pulp is dying and you need a root canal.

matter their age, most women dream of finding their Price Charming. And
for some, this is a journey faced later in life after a possible
divorce, loss of a spouse, or maybe just not find that "one."
However, at this point, mature daters are bringing a lot more
"baggage" to their relationships and may not be the
fresh-faced princesses they were in their 20s. Fret not, as 'Last Wife'
Donna Arp Weitzman is here as your fractured, funny fairy godmother!
"Disney may want us to think that their princesses are perfect, but
no one is, especially when it comes to dating and relationships,"
says Donna. "For baby boomers and seniors facing the dating world
and their Prince pursuit later in life, the pressures for perfection can
feel all that much heavier as they bring along children from past
relationships, exes, ex in-laws and more. But guess what? Behind those
crowns, gowns and glass slippers, Snow White has saddlebags, Belle may
dabble in Botox and Cinderella has cellulite!" Donna's advice has
been referred to as that of a 'mature Sex and the City,' and she's
recently had the opportunity to share it with "Never

The high exclusivity of event lead to a very select group of 'whose who' attendees which paired well with the high end mostly unwearable fashions displayed. However in recent years social media has changed all of that. With the use of social media many main stream outsiders have been able to get a look inside fashion week. This higher visibility by the main stream has actually lead some brands to also make their fashion week styles more wearable and practical given that they will now be seen by millions of every day shoppers via snapchat, instagram, Facebook, twitter, and other visual social media channels. In essence social media has not only allowed the main stream public into this once highly private event but it has also actually caused a shift towards a more wearable collection of looks from brands who are trying to cater to the audience largely made up of people attending remotely via social media. " It is quite interesting to see the cause and effect which social media is having on major fashion weeks. Social media is pulling the curtains back for the main stream public and by doing so it is essentially giving them a voice. One which is loud enough to make many brands cater their looks towards the main stream public who are interested in seeing practical every day looks opposed to high end unwearable fashion." Says Founder and CEO of UsTrendy Sam Sisakhti Sam Sisakhti is available to discuss social media and its impact on fashion weeks along with any other real or fashion topics.

Jacqueline Whitmore, founder of National Cell Phone Courtesy Month and an internationally-recognized etiquette expert, says cell phone users need to follow these tips to be more respectful of their surroundings: - Be all there: When you're in a meeting, performance, courtroom or other busy area, let calls go to voicemail to avoid a disruption. In some instances, turning your phone off may be the best solution. - Keep it private: Be aware of your surroundings and avoid discussing private or confidential information in public. You never know who may be in hearing range. - Keep your cool: Don't display anger during a public call. Conversations that are likely to be emotional should be held where they will not embarrass or intrude on others. - Learn to vibe: Always use your wireless phone's silent or vibration settings in public places such as business meetings, religious services, schools, restaurants, theaters or sporting events so that you do not disrupt your surroundings. - Avoid "cell yell:" Remember to use your regular conversational tone when speaking on your wireless phone. People tend to speak more loudly than normal and often don't recognize how distracting they can be to others. - Follow the rules: Some places, such as hospitals or airplanes, restrict or prohibit the use of mobile phones, so adhere to posted signs and instructions. Some jurisdictions may also restrict mobile phone use in public places. - Excuse yourself. If you are expecting a call that can't be postponed, alert your companions ahead of time and excuse yourself when the call comes in; the people you are with should take precedence over calls you want to make or receive. - Focus on driving: Always practice wireless responsibility while driving. Don't make or answer calls while in heavy traffic or in hazardous driving conditions. Place calls when your vehicle is not moving, and use a hands-free device to help focus attention on safety. Always make safety your most important call. And always check the laws of your particular state. If you would be interested in speaking to Jacqueline I am happy to set it up.

Barham I
wanted to touch base to see if you were interested in setting up an
interview with Past Life Regression Therapist Ann C. Barham? Have
you heard of Past Life Regression Therapy? This breakthrough therapy
movement has been growing in popularity over the last 5 years as people search
for alternative healing methods and a way to increase of
self-awareness. Expert regressionist and passionate speaker, Ann.
C Barham, is launching this branch of therapy into the public eye,
giving patients a fresh alternative to traditional therapeutic methods.
Her upcoming book will detail sixteen years of her experience with
regression therapy and the fascinating stories of her clients
journeys toward self-discovery and fulfillment. Are you interested in
setting up an interview with her or learning more? I have included a
full page release below. ---Nicki Certified Regression Therapist Leads
Patients on Path to Mental and Physical Wellness Expert regressionist
and passionate speaker Ann C Barham looks to educate the world about
this breakthrough therapy movement with the real life stories detailed
in her new book. Do you have a problem or personal setback where you
can't pinpoint its origin? Is there some intangible detail that's
stopping you from reaching your
full potential? Past life regression therapy is the latest mainstream
solution for answering these questions—and the specialty of author and
speaker Ann C.
Barham. Since 1997, Ann C. Barham has been utilizing her expertise
as a licensed marriage and family therapist with a specialty in past
life regression therapy to help people from around the world receive
spiritual guidance and direction, as well as address enduring intra- and
interpersonal issues. With the upcoming release of her new book In
Another Lifetime; How Past Life Recall Can Transform Your Life (working
title), Barham is launching this branch of therapy into the public eye,
giving patients a fresh alternative to traditional methods.
"Whether uncovering 'real' past-lives or not, this approach has
helped many people resolve issues and get past stuck points that were
resistant to other therapeutic approaches," says Barham. Past life
regression therapy uses techniques such as hypnosis and deep relaxation
to break through unconscious personal barriers in a safe and effective
way. For many people,it uncovers experiences in what appear to be prior
lifetimes that are blocking their current success, framing these
experiences in ways that can be understood and worked through.
Barham's book is a fascinating read that delves into how and why this
technique appeals to people of varying belief systems looking to cope
with depression, guilt, difficult relationships, physical impairments,
and more. Sixteen years of stories are brought to life between these
pages, detailing her passion for her clients and their journeys toward
self-discovery and fulfillment. Ann C. Barham is a Marriage & Family

Enter the first book in the new Smartee Plate series by registered dietitian nutritionist, Jennifer Glockner, Teddy Tries a Veggie. An interactive ebook for iPad and Kindle geared toward children 4-8 years old, Teddy Tries a Veggie follows Theodora (Teddy) Rose, an 'almost-six-years-old' girl who loves to garden but hates eating the vegetables she grows. Broccoli? Yuck. Asparagus? Double yuck! Brussel sprouts? No way! Teddy absolutely, no two ways about it, dislikes eating vegetables. But when she stumbles upon a band of fruits and veggies rocking out in her garden, she's in for a delicious adventure.

Aviation Day,
August 19, we thought you might enjoy some breathtaking images of the
Breitling Jet Team soaring over some of Marsh’s
latest Global Insurance Market Quarterly Briefing. In
this report, Marsh has identified that commercial insurance rates
decreased globally in most lines of business in the second quarter of
2015. The decrease, driven largely by an abundance of global capacity
and a lack of large insured loss activity, marks the ninth consecutive
quarter of rate declines. Decreases in insurance rates were seen across
regions and in most major lines of business. However, notable exceptions
were seen in specialized coverages, led by a firming cyber insurance
market. The 30 Day Adventures App is available on iOS and Android systems. About

Post Office A 2013 Stanford study A 2013 Stanford study concluded that children who read stories about food better understand what types of food are healthy and voluntarily eat more vegetables than children who were exposed to conventional teaching. Enter the first book in the new Smartee Plate series by registered dietitian nutritionist, Jennifer Glockner, Teddy Tries a Veggie. An interactive ebook for iPad and Kindle geared toward children 4-8 years old, Teddy Tries a Veggie follows Theodora (Teddy) Rose, an 'almost-six-years-old' girl who loves to garden but hates eating the vegetables she grows. Broccoli? Yuck. Asparagus? Double yuck! Brussel sprouts? No way! Teddy absolutely, no two ways about it, dislikes eating vegetables. But when she stumbles upon a band of fruits and veggies rocking out in her garden, she's in for a delicious adventure.

sales journey and a step toward continuous improvement. Having generated
hundreds of millions in sales revenues in various industries over the
past 25 years, Caliendo has immediate availability to further detail the

support the Sense Project, a sexual education program for TOTEM Last week, my colleague sent you some info about Totem signed by multidisciplinary designer Dick Walsh. This is a friendly reminder to let you know that the installation is showcased all summer. Please, see attached. Over the years, emoji has become a language itself. Reflecting our moods, they now exceed the limits of the Internet. A true social movement, this new form of communication is found in the world of fashion, objects, accessories, jewelry, handbags, macaroons, cakes ... Chanel, Louis Vuitton, Fendi, Prada, Yves Saint Laurent, Kate Spade and many others have included them in their design. So why not dress up the space altogether ?! EMOJI (e = image and moji = letter) is the Japanese term for emoticons. The first Emoji was created around 1998, more than 10 years before the birth of the App Store from Apple. Shigetaka Kurita, the father of this cultural phenomenon, was a part-time employee of a company that would launch the first mobile Internet service in February 1999. He was inspired by the famous comic and Manga and Kanji symbols in Chinese and Japanese writing. He wanted to instantly communicate an emotion. His pictograms of 12 x 12 pixels were born and nothing will stop them! They became the official language of the Internet countries. In 2014, there were over 722 emoji integrated in Unicode data standard. For more information on the phenomenon of emoji, see this document which provides a wide array of useful references. A short version is also attached. To schedule an interview with a spokesperson for the temporary installation TOTEM or Dick Walsh, please contact me at 514 279 4601 7.21.15 The Blue

do Ann Boleyn, Angelina Jolie and Katie Holmes have in common? They were
all a second, third or — in Angelina's case with Billy Bob Thornton
— fifth marriage for their husband at the time. And as each
experienced first-hand, life as a later-in-life wife of a
multiple-marriage man isn't always all smiles and diamonds. While these
women may not have found their Prince Charming in these marriages, Donna
Arp Weitzman did as the second and last wife to her husband, Herb
Weitzman. Looking forward to heading down the aisle with her true love,
Donna soon found that her new life was more like a gauntlet as she faced

is constant. The choice we have with this change is how we respond to
it. For any organization, at the end of the day, the goal is to make the
change as smoothly as possible and mitigate impact to the business. This
sounds easier than it usually is, especially when it comes to
transformational change as, typically, the larger the level of
transformation that needs to occur, the greater probability of
disruption to the business overall. That's where Renée Robertson comes
in. Reflective of her firsthand experience as a former Fortune 500
Director of Talent Development, as well as her years of developing
award-winning internal coaching programs and numerous succession plans,
Robertson explains that the use of internal coaching programs during a
time of transformational change can exponentially alleviate any
disruption. "Internal coaching programs, when incorporated into
your change initiative, can truly make the difference between good and
great," says Robertson. "Engaging a coach can help leaders or
key individuals in organizations affected by change to adapt and align
or help them see that they need to be removed from the situation. Having
a coach provides these individuals with a unique opportunity to think
through, process and adapt to the change." In a timely feature
interview, Robertson can share her first-hand experience with change
management through coaching solutions as well as detail the four-step

Tuesday July 7th at The Ultimate Travel Undergarment When you’re about to go on a business trip or even a vacation, you immediately start thinking about packing. You might pack the week before or even wait until the morning of, but when you do, it’s not too organized. On average, less than half of travelers actually unpack their suitcase while away from home as well. The Ultimate Travel Undergarment Organizer (TUO) is a great solution for keeping clothes in your suitcase organized. Launching on Kickstarter in mid-July 2015, the TUO is made of a water resistant nylon fabric and features three see-through mesh zippered compartments to pack and organize undergarments, accessories and small clothing items together. Its compact design helps save space in your suitcase, unfolds and features a detachable handle to hang it from the closet or towel bar to access items easily. There are also two sets of internal pockets to increase privacy and separation of smaller items and a mini dirty laundry bag with two pockets to help sort items as needed. Upon your departure, simply fold the bag in thirds, and snap the side buttons. The TUO is an ideal solution when a family or a couple are sharing a suitcase to keep small clothing items organized as well as perfect for showering in a gym or spa locker room as it can be secured to the shower bar and keep clothing items dry and off the floor. In addition, it can help save the embarrassment of undergarments falling out of the suitcase in airport security or customs. The Kickstarter campaign hopes to raise an initial funding goal of $15,000 USD and will offer Early Bird specials as well as several stretch goals after the initial funding goal is met. During the 35-day campaign, pledgers will have the opportunity to fund and pre-order items including the TUO and mini laundry bag as well as gift packages in a variety of colors and styles. Following the Kickstarter campaign, the first TUO organizers for direct consumer sales are expected to be available by Q4 2015. If you might be interested in reviewing the TUO, I can send over any press materials and hi-resolution images, or even send you a sample as well.
