EQ and Curry Racing Team Up to Promote Diversity in NASCAR: Company to Sponsor First Ground Breaking Minority-Owned Team

EQ and Curry Racing Team Up to Promote Diversity in NASCAR: Company to Sponsor First Ground Breaking Minority-Owned Team

EQ, the Smart Energy Drink, traveled to Atlanta over the weekend to attend a press conference at the Atlanta Motor Speedway and officially announce its partnership with Curry Racing for 2006's race season. The company will sponsor NASCAR's first minority-owned team founded by former NFL star Julius Curry. This unique partnership sits on the brink of a revolution to the sport of racing as it opens NASCAR up to a broad and diversified audience.

Bethesda, MD (PRWEB) March 21, 2006

On Friday, March 17th, 2006, EQ (www. drinkeq. com) officially announced its partnership with Curry Racing, Inc (www. curryracinginc. com) at the Atlanta Motor Speedway. This occasion marked the first time an African-American owned team raced in a NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series. His legacy, however, will be the positive changes he is helping bring about both within NASCAR and in society as a whole. Former NFL star and University of Michigan alumni Julius Curry will be the sole owner of the NASCAR race team with the young and talented Chase Montgomery driving. EQ, Curry and Montgomery are scheduled to compete in at least 10 races this season and run at least five NASCAR Busch races with the goal of racing the Busch Series full-time in 2007.

As the only minority-owned race team currently in NASCAR, Curry sets the stage as a pioneer to welcome a new and diverse culture to the sport of racing. During the press conference, Curry stated “Our being here today is a testament to NASCAR’s commitment to diversity through minority team ownership.” Curry hopes his efforts will pave the way for sponsors to eagerly enter the NASCAR arena and build successful sponsorships with minority-owned teams. Recently, NASCAR has become instrumental in ‘Drive for Diversity,’ a program dedicated to diversifying NASCAR’s participant and audience base and bringing notoriety to names such as Hispanic driver Aric Almirola, female drivers Erin Crocker and Kelly Sutton, and African-American driver Bill Lester. Curry Racing’s involvement marks a monumental leap forward in this effort and also supports NASCAR’s top priority to increase diversity in the sport. Diversity is apparent even in Curry's race team which is comprised of the young Chase Montgomery, female driver Leilani Munter, African-American driver George Mack and seasoned veteran Ricky Craven. In a proclamation from the mayor, Curry was also honored by Clayton County, Georgia Friday evening for his efforts in creating a name for minority teams and participants in the sport of racing. 

Curry’s new and innovative team leadership saw a natural fit among aspirations with EQ, the Smart Energy Drink. As a unique and rapidly growing company, EQ is thrilled to partner with Curry Racing as well as support the movement to diversify the sport. The company provides an opportunity and the support for this diverse team to make a difference in the NASCAR community. Now, two organizations, on the forefront of their industries breaking away from the norm, will partner to make a groundbreaking impact on the sport of racing. According to Teresa Chen, Marketing Director at EQ, “Through this synergy and unique relationship, we can further advance racing to a new and broader audience. People who never had an interest in the races such as women and people of many cultural diversities will now be encouraged to become NASCAR fans and will grow the huge fan base larger than it has ever been in the past. Racing is one of the fastest growing consumer watched and corporately sponsored sports in the World. We are so happy to be involved in bringing together a diverse ethnic fan base and of course, supporting the success of Chase and Curry Racing.” Through its sponsorship, EQ® joins the ranks of companies such as Cheerios®, Home Depot®, Miller Lite®, Best Buy®, and Jack Daniel’s® and owners such as David Letterman, Paul Newman and Redskin's Coach Joe Gibbs. 

Ray Montgomery, a long-standing force in the sport of racing and VP of Operations at Curry Racing will play a key role in ensuring success of the team as well as making the most of their unique partnership. His experience in the sport will enable Curry Racing and EQ to make a bold impression on NASCAR. Montgomery states, “We’re all working towards the same goal. When we succeed, EQ succeeds. When EQ succeeds, we succeed.” Driver and son, Chase Montgomery adds, “I’ve been through a lot of ups and downs the last few years, but I’m real optimistic about this situation and I think we’ve built a real quality race team.”

EQ represents the cutting-edge revolution in energy. Through innovative technology, this product is the first to hit the US market as an effervescent energy tablet that can transform any liquid into an instant energy drink. It offers a caffeine boost and also touts a healthy mix of essential vitamins and minerals, making it perfect for consumers of all kinds, from partiers to health nuts to racecar drivers. Since its launch in late December, EQ has gained increasing popularity among consumers of all backgrounds through its exposure at events such as New York City’s Fashion Week and Super Bowl XL in Detroit.

An Illegal Alien Shares His Life of Struggles, Success, and Hopes

An Illegal Alien Shares His Life of Struggles, Success, and Hopes

Author tells his true story of being an illegal alien on US soil in his new book

Bloomington, IN (Vocus) August 12, 2010

He is a table tennis player representing his school from Ecuador at the US Open in Miami in 1986. After the tournament, with his brother Jaime and his teammate Douglas, he gets on a New York City-bound Greyhound bus. He is captivated by the grandeur of the city and, after his return to Ecuador, dreams of going back someday. Three months later, he returns to the United States. This time, he overstays his visa and becomes an illegal alien. In his newly released book, author Fernando Briceño shares his Memoirs of an Illegal Alien and hopes that everyone will read his personal story with an open mind and heart. The author has struggled on account of things varied in nature—and has overcome most of them. He also gets to savor some triumphs. He gets married in 1997 and obtains a work permit. In 1999, he gets a DEA-sensitive clearance, and he starts to work in the wiretap department. His marriage ends up in a divorce before getting a green card, and he is in limbo. He continues to work wiretaps for the DEA, Customs, IRS, ICE, ATF, and others. His dedication, passion, and work quality, despite the fact that he is a high school dropout, catapult him to the top of his game, and he is offered to work directly for the DEA by starting his own company. He jumps at the chance, and with great success, he manages to work for the government in some of the most exciting drug-smuggling cases in the United States. Almost twenty-four years after his arrival to this country, he is in need of a lung transplant. He still is an illegal alien and hopes that someday, he will get his green card and maybe die a United States citizen in the country that he loves. His father, an American citizen, filed a petition on his behalf in 2004, and the wait to legalize his status goes on. “…writing this book, my legal status and with my health conditions, I don’t know what the future will bring. There is good and evil in this world, and I am sure there is going to be some people that would like to hear my story and like it; some others would hate it. That is a risk I am willing to take with the hope of opening some eyes and ears and especially some hearts to the troubling situation that undocumented workers go through in this country. A country built by immigrants and enriched by the hard labor of slaves, a country that had been torn apart by war, a country with a lot of ingenuity to survive problems, a country of loving, caring, compassionate and hardworking people; to me the best country in the world. I hope one day I get to call it my own, the United States of America,” sincerely shares the author.

Authors of New Book on Animal Rescue Urge President Bush to Sign PETS Act and Save Lives

Authors of New Book on Animal Rescue Urge President Bush to Sign PETS Act and Save Lives

When the Andersons do national media interviews about the importance of animal rescue, the questions often arise: With spiraling costs of rebuilding after disasters, should federal money be spent on saving animals in the future? Does the PETS Act put animals above people?

Minneapolis, MN (PRWEB) September 27, 2006

Supporting the PETS Act (Pets Evacuation and Transportation Standards Act), Allen and Linda Anderson are Minneapolis-based authors of the new book, RESCUED: Saving Animals from Disaster with a foreword by U. S. Senator John Ensign (New World Library, September, 2006, 342 pages, 16 pages color photos, index, resources, ISBN: 1577315448, $16.95, www. rescuedsavinganimnals. net). According to a September 21, 2006 press release from the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA), one of the many national organizations the Andersons interviewed for their book, the PETS Act would “authorize the Federal Emergency Management Authority (FEMA) to make financial contributions to local and state plans that factor the needs of those with pets and service animals into such planning.”

When the Andersons do national media interviews about the importance of animal rescue, the questions often arise: With spiraling costs of rebuilding after disasters, should federal money be spent on saving animals in the future? Does the PETS Act put animals above people?

Allen Anderson answers, “When you rescue a pet you save an entire family. Katrina survivors told us that they lost everything but when they reunited with their pets, it gave them hope that they could recover. There has been a disconnect between policy makers and millions of people who would no more leave their pets behind in an emergency than they would abandon any other family member. People will endanger themselves or return in hazardous conditions to keep pets safe. Rescuers risk their lives trying to save survivors who wouldn't evacuate without their pets. Animal rescuers have to search through ravaged and infested areas for abandoned dogs and cats. The costs in human life and the expenses of disaster rescue increase with every pet that is not evacuated.”

The PETS Act was introduced by Representatives Tom Lantos (D-Calif.) and Christopher Shays (R-Conn.) and co-sponsored by Representative James Oberstar (D-Minn.), among others, just as animal rescue operations were in full swing along the Gulf Coast. With fresh images of abandoned pets and bereft people, the House passed its version of the bill by a vote of 394 to 24. In August the Senate overwhelmingly passed an amended version. On September 20, the House unanimously approved the Senate-amended bill, allowing it to be sent to President Bush for signing into law.

A recent survey conducted by Best Friends Animal Society showed that 70 percent of pet owners view animals as family members. A Zogby International study found that 44 percent of those who refused to leave the Gulf Coast before and after Hurricane Katrina remained because they wouldn't abandon their pets. Since 66 percent of American homes have pets, the relationships between people and animals have evolved into ones in which pets are viewed as children, friends, and protectors.

With pets fulfilling emotional, physical, and health or service needs, animal rescue has come to fruition as a vital social movement and a necessity. Seven thousand animal organizations with 10,000,000 members represent and fight for legislation that addresses the concerns and values of animal lovers nationwide. The Andersons hope with their book to keep a national conversation going on how to strengthen animal rescue by preparing homes with pets for disasters and emergencies and spurring communities to develop effective lifesaving procedures.

RESCUED offers a history of animal rescue as an evolving social movement that is gaining in importance. It gives readers a comprehensive look at animal rescue as it occurs across the country everyday and in the largest animal rescue operation in history following Hurricane Katrina. The book demonstrates how animal sheltering has evolved into state-of-the-art facilities, how animal control has grown from the catch-and-kill mentality to law enforcement capabilities that curb animal abuse, and how national animal organizations' missions affect the lives of people who don't even have pets.

RESCUED has been called a journalistic achievement, a superb historical account, and a must-read for anyone with a pet and people who are considering volunteerism or careers in animal rescue. The Andersons and their publisher are donating a portion of the proceeds from RESCUED to animal rescue organizations.

Compelling, fascinating, and most important -- highly moral. — Ben Stein, author, actor, commentator

RESCUED is a riveting book about amazing people who truly make a huge difference to countless animals with whom we share our homes and our planet. Its personal stories about unsung and selfless heroes who work behind the scenes clearly illustrate the deep passions that bind us to a wide variety of animals. A must read that I couldn't put down, RESCUED will move you to action. --Marc Bekoff, University of Colorado; author of Animal Passions and Beastly Virtues and editor of the Encyclopedia of Animal Behavior

Hurricane Katrina taught us that public policy must be revised to reflect the love between people and their nonhuman family members. With their finely written and touching book, RESCUED, Allen and Linda Anderson drive that point home. It is an important work that will warm the hearts of all readers whose animals are an indispensable part of the family. --Karen Dawn, founder of DawnWatch. com, nationwide media alerts for animals in the news

RESCUED shows you step-by-step how to prepare for times when evacuation of the home is the only option. The book offers vital, in-the-trenches information for saving animals' lives gleaned from hundreds of animal rescue organizations, experts, and volunteers. RESCUED inspires individuals, agencies, and the nation to take care of animals when disaster strikes and to make rescuing animals a vital part of healthy and enlightened communities. By relating powerful animal rescue and reunion stories from Hurricane Katrina, the Andersons remind us all to cherish the human-animal bond by preserving the bond. Read it and reap! --Dr. Marty Becker, resident veterinarian on Good Morning America, Knight Ridder Tribune veterinary columnist, author of The Healing Power of Pets and Fitness Unleashed

The Anderson's have placed animals center stage and taught us their value. This must-read, riveting account helps us understand that Hurricane Katrina caused the evolution of both the human and animal spirit. --Barbara J. Gislason, Chair, American Bar Association TIPS Animal Law Committee

How Safe Are We Really? Could the Next Terrorist Attack Be Against The United States and Our Milk Supply?

How Safe Are We Really? Could the Next Terrorist Attack Be Against The United States and Our Milk Supply?

Dr. Paulo Reyes believes there is a clear and present danger for terrorists to use chemical agents such as smallpox against us. Recent reports concerning the dangers to our milk supply, the bombings in London, and now news that US could be next fuel this fear. Have we done enough?

Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) July 28, 2005

With the tragic events unfolding in London on July 7, 2005, the scare of terrorists attacking on US soil, rampant reports of the possible threat to our nation’s milk supply, and school less than three weeks away, one is left to wonder how safe we really are? Could terrorists use biologic agents, such as smallpox or anthrax, against us? And has the government done all it can to protect its citizens? Dr. Paulo J. Reyes thinks we need to do more and continues to bring awareness about what he considers “clear and present danger.”

Headlines of the dangers to our milk supply were stirred by a recent report by researchers at Stanford University. This report generated significant press coverage including articles in Washington Post, Fox News, USA Today, and CNN to name a few. It reiterated the vulnerability of our nation’s milk supply. Study leader Lawrence M. Wein, noted what raised even greater suspection was the fact that the government tried to delay the report’s release. Rick Weiss wrote in the Washington Post on June 29th concerning the report, “About a third of an ounce of botulism toxin poured by bioterrorists into a milk truck en route from a dairy farm to a processing plant could cause hundreds of thousands of deaths and billions of dollars in economic losses, according to a scientific analysis that was published yesterday despite efforts by federal officials to keep the details secret.”

Dr. Paulo J. Reyes, a practicing Emergency Room Doctor and First Responder to Disasters in Los Angeles, California with a medical career spanning 25 years, is also the author of the medical thriller, Sledgehammer (ISBN # 0-595-66984-0). He has spoken for years about the threat of a smallpox attack and is an avid supporter of nationwide vaccinations. Through extensive research, his training as a First Responder for terrorists attacks, and his understanding of the health care system, he feels there is enough evidence to support the possibility of terrorists using smallpox as a weapon against us. Reyes contends, “What if smallpox, a disease thought to be eradicated, was used to devastating effect as a weapon of mass destruction? U. S. intelligence has publicized the possible existence of stocks of smallpox in Iraq, North Korea, France and Russia as grounds for concern that it might be used as a weapon of mass infection against us. Knowing what we know about the workings of al-Qaeda, shouldn’t we do more to protect ourselves against this?”

ReyesÂ’ book, Sledgehammer, details an outbreak of Smallpox and its devastating and fatal effects. It portrays how rapidly the disease spreads, the potential extensive devastation if air-borne, and the fatality of those in contact. Of utmost importance is the alarming realization that the government wonÂ’t accept the reality and diagnosis because of their belief smallpox is no longer a threat. Reyes acknowledged once having first hand experience of a case in the ER while working, which presented with symptoms similar to smallpox. However, in contacting the CDC he was informed of the improbability of it being that disease. Reason given -- This disease no longer exists. We know that the danger exists today. LetÂ’s bring this possible threat to the table and address it, solve it, and then rest assured that our nation has done all it can to fight the evils against it.

For more information on the dangers of smallpox go to Dr. Reyes website at http://www. pauloreyes. com (http://www. pauloreyes. com). His book, Sledgehammer is available online at Barnes & Noble and other leading bookstores.

Media -- Dr. Paulo J. Reyes, the Author of the fiction thriller, Sledgehammer, has previously appeared on CNN and is available for TV, Radio, newspaper and other media interviews. Please contact Diana Ennen at Diana@virtualwordpublishing. com or (954) 971-4025 to schedule Dr. Reyes.

The Ultimate Workout Plan for Busy Dads -- Dad Fitness Launches in Time for Fathers Day

Overweight dads everywhere are finally losing that beer belly with just 3 short workouts a week. Busy dads are using the innovative exercise methods in Dad Fitness to cut back on their workout time, boost their metabolism, and help them lose inches and fit back into their old clothes.

Labrador City, NL (PRWEB) June 9, 2008

Dad Fitness releases the ultimate workout plan for busy dads.

As more dads find themselves crunched for time between family and work, they are also noticing their increasing waistline. Finally a solution has been found to provide busy dads with an effective exercise system to burn off that excess belly fat with just 3 workouts a week. Until now, spending hours in the gym to build muscle and doing long boring cardio workouts to burn fat have been the only option for men looking to lose those excess pounds and get in shape. While these methods do provide some results, for busy dads, spending hours slaving in the gym is just not an option.

Sean Barker, a certified personal trainer, and more importantly a brand new dad, created the Dad Fitness system. With little time to workout like he once did Sean wanted to give busy dads everywhere an easy way to lose unwanted bodyfat, build lean muscle and eat healthy great tasting foods. It worked wonders for him, and has worked wonders for other dads looking to lose that belly blubber once and for all. With the Dad Fitness unique workout plan, no longer do they need to spend hours everyday working out to see results. The Dad Fitness workouts were specifically designed to build muscle and burn excess bodyfat in the same workout. Giving you fast results and more time to spend with your family and friends.

The facts on fat are deadly. Experts agree being overweight causes heart disease. The more overweight you are, the greater your risk of an early death. Heart attacks are the No. 1 cause of death for American men.

As more and more busy dads realize they are cheating themselves out of years of healthy living that they owe to themselves and to their families, Dad Fitness will become an essential tool to lose those pounds and gain back their life.

For Businesses to Grow in a Fledgling Economy, Turn to Technology and Telecommuting, Says E-Geniuses

For Businesses to Grow in a Fledgling Economy, Turn to Technology and Telecommuting, Says E-Geniuses

Leading L. A.-based computer repair service company E-Geniuses illustrates how businesses can utilize technology and telecommuting to not only survive the economic crisis but to grow in a down market.

Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) April 9, 2009

In today's economic climate, achieving sustainable growth has become increasingly more difficult for business owners. Flaccid housing and investment markets have severely limited the resources and wherewithal of companies both large and small. Nonetheless, leading computer repair service (http://www. e-geniuses. com) company E-Geniuses shows business owners how making use of technological tools and telecommuting can enable companies to not only weather the storm, but realize real growth.

When newspaper headlines read "Government Spends 1 Trillion to Stimulate Economic Growth," consumers should be worried about inflation, which leads to an across-the-board increase in pricing, says E-Geniuses. With the government committed to inflationary techniques, tough times are still ahead of us. However, E-Geniuses believes opportunities that have yet to be realized still exist in business and tough economic conditions make ignoring them much more costly.

One such opportunity is the use of innovative technology, which enables us to do more with the limited resources available and lead to economic health and a higher quality of life. According to E-Geniuses, telecommuting has become an efficient, cost-effective, and resourceful way to adapt business operations.

"I think that more businesses should start adopting a work-at-home strategy to productivity," says Joey Mariano, owner of E-Geniuses, which services and repairs computers for local businesses and nearby USC and FIDM students. "The schools have understood this concept of 'homework' for a long time. Teachers don't have to watch each student do their work, they simply manage by objective - was the work done on time? Was it done properly and did it achieve the end result? Businesses need to start thinking this way also."

Telecommuting - the practice of working at home (http://www. totaltelecommuting. com) and communicating with co-workers through phone and computer - offers benefits for the employer, employee, and the environment. Jessica Jenkins, co-owner of TotalTelecommuting, says that telecommuting gives businesses a larger pool of potential hires due to the added perk of working from home; it can also make current employees happier, which increases efficiency and productivity.

"The employee can cut down on unpaid expenses such as time spent commuting and fuel consumption," she explains. "Less commute means less traffic, less carbon dioxide, and is therefore better for the environment."

According to Ariana at The Reserve Lofts in Downtown Los Angeles, in order to consolidate home and office expenses, many people whose homes have been foreclosed on are relocating to downtown L. A. lofts (http://www. reservelofts. com) that are zoned for both residential and business use. "There is also the added advantage of being neighbors with other business owners and professionals. For employees of these businesses, there's also the perk that they can use the building amenities such as the gym and a garden/spa.

"Whether you are working from a downtown Los Angeles penthouse (http://www. reservelofts. com/available-lofts/downtown-los-angeles-penthouse-close-to-la-live-available/) or telecommuting from downtown to your home in the valley, the most important thing is to make efficient use of time and resources," say JR and Aaron of medical consulting firm (http://www. newmoneyconsulting. com) New Money Consulting. "A recession can affect how consumers budget their resources, but it cannot affect the resource of time - people may have less money or credit but time will keep ticking. Businesses and individuals need to pay attention to how they spend their day."

In addition to telecommuting, e-commerce is another tool that can significantly boost revenue with an added marketing benefit.

Angela of Los Angeles web design company (http://www. splycemediagroup. com), online marketing (http://www. splycemediagroup. com/services/web-advertising-web-marketing/), and SEO firm Splyce Media Group (SMG) advises traditional brick and mortar retail shops to create an e-commerce site to automate sales.

"A business that spends thousands of dollars a month on traditional print advertising should start considering investing in their website as a powerful and effective alternative," she says. "If you aren't showing up when someone does a Google search, then you are non-existent to most of the populations that is getting more tech savvy each day."

Even in a down economy, E-Geniuses reminds business owners that there are multiple ways to ensure that a company survives, and sometimes even grows. Innovation and technology are keys to productive growth for many.

Ipswich, MA (PRWEB) November 3, 2009

EBSCO Publishing (http://www. ebscohost. com) (EBSCO) is introducing a new way for sustainability executives to monitor developments in sustainability. Focusing on revenue opportunities, savings potential, or regulatory and compliance requirements, Sustainability Watch™ (http://www. ebscohost. com/thisTopic. php? marketID=3&topicID=1339) is a powerful executive decision support tool from the providers of EBSCOhost®. Sustainability Watch provides evidence-based summaries on hundreds of sustainability topics in the areas of "people, planet and profit." The resource leverages the best available evidence in developing reports in an easily-consumed format to support executive decision-making and situational awareness.

Sustainability Watch editors monitor thousands of the best journals and magazine articles in order to provide best practices for a variety of sustainability topics in the areas of environmental impact mitigation, corporate citizenship and regulatory compliance. Sustainability Watch utilizes a non-biased, evidence-based methodology to create reports that do not offer opinions but instead summarize existing expert conclusions derived from the thousands of sources that are covered. If an article is published that presents a significant new finding or modifies a current conclusion, the appropriate Sustainability Watch report is updated and the user is alerted to the changes.

Sustainability Watch provides a robust executive decision support tool designed to be a valuable component in the executive information spectrum on the critical topic of sustainability. Filtering out the biased and often in-expert "noise" that is so prevalent in the sustainability arena, Sustainability Watch builds on EBSCO's collection of expert and peer-reviewed sustainability-related literature to present the user with non-biased actionable intelligence. By monitoring developments in the literature and following an established multi-step evidence-based literature surveillance process, Sustainability Watch provides users with the latest expert analysis and findings on sustainability issues, all based on the evidence that is presented.

Sustainability Watch has adapted EBSCO's core evidence-based methodology to areas of interest to corporate executives. The evidence-based approach identifies, selects and systematically evaluates pertinent information and creates a synthesis of the best available evidence. EBSCO's experience with evidence-based content includes the point-of-care resources it provides to hospitals and other medical institutions including the clinical decision support resource DynaMed™ (http://www. ebscohost. com/dynamed). In the coming months, EBSCO plans to offer similar executive decision-support tools based on proprietary, evidence-based content in the additional areas.

Sustainability Watch may be integrated into corporate portals and Intranets. The EBSCOhost® Integration Toolkit allows EBSCO's content to be incorporated into an organization's workflow--providing seamless access to premium content.

Platinum Television Group to feature StatesÂ’ Anti-Tobacco Marketing Campaigns

Platinum Television Group to feature StatesÂ’ Anti-Tobacco Marketing Campaigns

States are trying to help their populations stop smoking; a special TV segment from Platinum Television Group will examine this movement.

Deerfield Beach, FL (PRWEB) January 21, 2004

To reduce the negative health effects of smoking, everyone knows the best thing to do is to quit. Public health authorities do not endorse either smoking fewer cigarettes or switching to lower tar and nicotine brands as a satisfactory way of reducing risk. In fact, one of the required cigarette warnings for packages and advertisements in the U. S. now is, "SURGEON GENERAL'S WARNING: Quitting Smoking Now Greatly Reduces Serious Risks to Your Health."

In spite of the continuing release of information relative to the serious potential health consequences of tobacco consumption and label warnings, one in four Americans continues to smoke. Individual states have generally done a creditable job of getting information into the hands of smokers, as evidenced by the fact that half of smoking Americans have tried to quit smoking within the last year. But they have not succeeded.

While it can be very difficult to quit smoking, there are some tips to help.

“Today’s Family,” a production of Platinum Television Group, a leading producer of educational programming for the modern market, recognizes the urgency of this subject, and will produce segments on individual states’ anti-marketing efforts and provide tips and tools that smokers can employ to increase their chances of success.

The show will feature different approaches to dealing with the problems of smoking cessation, and will examine the outstanding characteristics of each. What works, and for whom, and why? Various aspects of quitting smoking will be considered for each program and will cover topics such as:

N Specific strategies the state has employed that have been proven effective;

N Tips to help people quit by learning new skills and behaviors;

N Tips to keep teens and young people from smoking;

N  A report on the effectiveness of medications and how to use them properly

N Dealing with relapses.

“Today’s Family” presents a fast-paced contemporary format showcasing issues of relevance to families, with information on new products, trends and ideas. It is aired on local networks, and produced by Platinum Television Group. Members of its Advisory Board include AARP, Alzheimer’s Association, American Academy of Pediatrics, AAHSA (American Association of Home & Services for the Aging), American Cancer Society, American Dietetic Association, Dan Marino Foundation, DARE (Drug Abuse Resistance Education), Safe Kids, School Board of Broward County, and Travel Industry Association.

Sexy Bellybutton Tattoos

Tattoos- these are beautiful detailed designs that is marked in any part of your body. They can be in different shapes, different curves, in letters or different designs. For some people, having these designs in your body looks very dirty. But for me, having this very detailed design in your body is an art.

This skin design can be made by inserting indelible ink into the dermis layer of the skin, can be made by sticker or must known as henna. True skin designs really hurt because it involves needles that will be used to insert ink in your skin, while those designs that can be easily erased by water doesn’t hurt. Having this skin design really hurts a lot, but the pain worth it after you see that design you want imprinted on your skin.

Tattoo has been a part of our ancient history. Many of this handmade designs has been found in prehistoric things. This designs also has been a part of our culture. Until now, Some religions still uses this designs. These creatively hand made designs has a very important role in the past years. No wonder why these designs still exists and some people still apply these designs in their bodies.

These skin designs has advantages too. You can hide your scars on your skin! For example, scars when you’re younger can be hid by these designs so that people won’t see that scar of yours but what they can see is the beautiful art written or pasted in your skin. It can also serve as a body statement. This designs can be written in letters too. You can also use tattoo for medical purposes like for surgeries.

This designs can also make us feel and look beautiful. Some people likes this designs to be marked in their arms. Some of them wants on their ankle, While some of them wants it on their neck. People, specially girls, have the thought of having a tattoo will look very sexy and beautiful in their body. Before, girls often put their tattoos in their ankle while some girls want their tattoo on the back of their necks. But for those girls that has the very sexy figure and flat tummies, they prefer their body designs to be done in their bellies. That tattoo is called bellybutton tattoo.

Flower, Butterfly and Star Tattoos – Symbol of a Woman’s Beauty

Women always want to be sexy with their tattoos. Who can blame them.

An ink on the female’s skin should be an expression of her feminine and strong side which makes her sexy all the way. And when it comes to expressing these qualities, these are the top three choices:

Flowers have always been a symbol of a woman’s beauty. It never fails to shine on her skin, whether it be a red rose, a cherry blossom perhaps or the delicate hibiscus. There are tons of floral varieties and there is always that perfect flower that can match and exemplify a female’s inner feelings and personality. Of course, location always matters. And the thing with flower tattoos is they look great no matter which part of the body they are placed at. Whether it be a lotus hiding on the hip, an orchid blossoming on the rib cage or a floral vine circling on one’s ankle.

Butterflies have always been another original favorite and it still is on the rage up to now. These creatures undeniably make an amazing and meaningful tat piece. They have gorgeous colors, interesting wing patterns and symbolical meanings.

The journey they went through before becoming a butterfly has always been a symbol of rebirth, change and transformation. These are traits that women can always relate to and identify themselves with. That is why, butterfly tattoos would never get tired of fluttering on a woman’s skin.

Rose Tattoo Design - Woman Sexy Tattoo

Rose Tattoo Design

Star is one of the most universal symbol and at the same time, a favorite tattoo image. The thing with stars is their simplicity and versatility that make them one of the most sought after tats. Not to mention, with the flexibility of the design, one can almost attach any meaning to it. They can be tattooed as a single star, in groups or as shooting stars. They would look amazing whether in black or white or in colorful hues. Best part is, they do not prefer any body part for them to look appealing. A single star on the wrist would be noticeable and even two stars on the foot can have the same effect.

Sexy and feminine tattoos are the way to go if you want to get the most out of your ink. Don’t forget, make the meaning significant and personal to you as well so you would not regret in the end.

Latin America Real Estate Site Spots Trend in Mexico Retirements

Latin America Real Estate Site Spots Trend in Mexico Retirements

More Americans retire in Mexico, according to Latin American Home Investment, as the cost of real estate and medical services continue to dip below comparable homes and services in the U. S.

Carlsbad, CA (PRWEB) April 27, 2008

The cost of living in Mexico continues to attract more retirees from the United States and Canada, but it's not just the cost of homes that is attracting people south of the border after they retire. Latin American Home Investment, a Web site that provides information and assistance for people looking to relocate to Latin America, has seen a new trend in their industry. More people are looking at Latin America real estate not only because of the low cost of homes, but also because of the affordable medical services.

Americans retire in Mexico primarily because of the low cost of the real estate, since oceanfront properties can be had for 50 to 80 percent less than their American counterparts. The salaries are also much lower in Mexico, which isn't typically a direct concern for retirees who are living off of their savings and Social Security payments, but after closer inspection it actually makes a huge difference for retirees. Doctors and dentists charge 50 to 75 percent less than their American counterparts, as do professionals in practically every other industry from entertainment to construction.

The cost of living in Mexico is just much more affordable for retirees, especially since people in their retirement years often need the most medical services at this point in their lives. More hospitals in Mexico are upgrading their equipment and training doctors to speak in English, and private companies are building new state-of-the-art hospitals in Mexico, according to the Arizona Daily Star. More American employers are even letting health insurers know about their interest in countries such as Mexico for their employees to seek treatments in that would otherwise be too expensive. While major insurers aren't offering medical tourism benefits to all their policyholders nationwide, several have pilot programs in certain states.

The cost of services from home contractors, plumbers, handymen, housekeepers, gardeners and other professionals is also cheaper in Mexico. Americans retire in Mexico for a variety of reasons, but the real estate experts at Latin American Home Investment are seeing more people interested in the low cost of these services south of the border.

For more information about Latin America real estate and the cost of living in Mexico, visit www. latinamericanhomeinvestment. com.

About Latin American Home Investment:

Living in Latin America is becoming more popular than ever before. An array of choices between communities, cities and land developers has come with that popularity. Latin American Home Investment has built a home for communication, input and suggestions for the best and worst Latin American Real Estate Opportunities.

"Whirlybirds 2003": A New TV Documentary

"Whirlybirds 2003": A New TV Documentary

A new television documentary examines how rotary wing flight has changed they way we work and live.

(PRWEB) October 25, 2002

"Whirlybirds 2003" - Documentary UPDATE

(Wilmington, DE -- December 26, 2002) -- "Whirlybirds 2003", the new television documentary dealing with rotary wing flight, is rolling along as location production continues on the East coast. The current mission: to make presentation to international broadcasters during the NATPE convention (New Orleans) in January.

The program is being developed for international television broadcast by documentary filmmakers Amy Steelman-Angeli and Lou Angeli, whose recent "Bound By Courage" chronicled the rescue and recovery effort at Ground Zero. As former firefighter/EMT's, the couple specializes in programming dealing with the emergency services, and includes the ride-along series, "Beyond The Yellow Tape".

See ICOM Magazine: http://www. icommag. com/november-2002/november-page-1.html (http://www. icommag. com/november-2002/november-page-1.html)

"Whirlybirds 2003" follows the progression of rotary wing aviation over the past 50 years, and highlights the various missions of helicopters through dramatic reenactments, sound bites with industry professionals and never before seen footage.

"This is the first program in a number of years, that is dedicated solely to helicopters and their vital missions," says producer Amy Steelman-Angeli. "...and we believe that the show (also) serves as a special tribute to the men and women who fly them." The program will be broadcast in 2003 as part of a special commemoration of the 100th anniversary of aviation.

"We've been working with hospital-based air med-evac providers to illustrate the features of air medevac programs," says co producer and videographer, Lou Angeli. "Our plan is to demonstrate how medical helicopters squeeze the timeline by allowing seriously ill or injured patients to make it to definitive health care..." before the golden hour expires.

Other scenarios, which are scheduled for the show, include news gathering, firefighting, air rescue, law enforcement, and sport recreation. "We also wish to thank the aviation community for helping us bring this important story to the screen," says Amy, whose work includes reality television and documentaries. The team's Fire-Rescue footage is seen on TV networks worldwide, and is featured in an upcoming episode of NBC's "The West Wing."

The producers are still searching for compelling leads, which will help tell the story of helicopters and their pilots. Feel free to contact the Amy or Lou with your ideas and suggestions by phoning (302) 753-9620. email: rescuetv@aol. com

How To Care A New Tattoo

When you finally decide to get a tattoo, the first thing you’ll need to do is find a reputable tattoo artist. Most tattoo artists have several designs that you can pick from. If you don’t find anything you like, you can always ask him to make a custom tattoo. You should always be careful in what you choose, as you’ll have the tattoo for the rest of your life. The design is very important, although not nearly as important as taking care of it.

Good tattoo artists will also clean and apply antiseptic ointment to your tattoo as they create it. Expert artists know that this helps keep the tattoo healthy. Once the tattoo is finished, the artists will wipe it down, clean it off good, and apply another coat of antiseptic ointment. Once the ointment has been applied, he will put a piece of soft tissue or cellophane over the tattoo.
Once the tattoo is finished, the artists should tell you how to take care of your new tattoo. Some of the better artists will talk to you and give you a detailed sheet with all of the information you need. If you went to a tattoo artist who didn’t explain this to you, you may be wondering just what you should do. Taking care of a tattoo isn’t hard – as long as you know what you can and can’t do.

When you first get home with your new tattoo, you should never hop right in the shower. You should keep it dry for the first few days, but also clean it every few hours. Before you touch the tattoo or clean it, you should always make sure that your hands are clean. If you keep your hands clean, you won’t have to worry about an infection.

You’ll also want to visit your local drugstore and purchase a tube of A&D ointment. A&D ointment is the best to use. A&D will keep your tattoo clean and shiny and should be used for the first few days. Once the ointment starts to dry on the tattoo, you should wipe the old application off and apply some more. Don’t rub it too hard, or you could damage the healing process. For the first few days, you should avoid using soap as well.

After 5 – 6 days, you can quit using the ointment. A&D ointment will keep your tattoo healthy, which you’ll notice the first time you apply it. After you stop using it, you should use an unscented body lotion. You want to avoid body lotions that have scents, as they can easily irritate the tender skin that resides under your tattoo.

After you have used the lotion for a few days, you can stop using it. Most tattoos, after they have healed, tend to leave a scab in some areas. If your tattoo has a scab, you should be careful when you try to pick it. If you aren’t careful, you could end up damaging your design. The best thing to do is you have a scab is to leave it alone.

The Best Fruit Tattoo Designs | DESIGNS TATTOO

The Best Fruit Tattoo Designs.............

Fruit tattoos are very unique, original and fun designs to get. Here are some of the best to choose from:

1. Cherry

A cherry is a great idea for ink. Bright red, round, and very noticeable. There are a few options with a cherry tattoo. You can either get one cherry, or two cherries with their stems coming together, touching at the top. You can also add other designs to a cherry. Hearts, fire, vines or leaves are some options to accompany your cherries.

2. Peach

A peach tattoo is a great option for fruit tattoos. Bright orange and noticeable, a peach can stand on its own or can be accompanied with words or other designs. I've seen "Georgia Peach" or "Peachy" accompanied with the this design.

3. Grape

Grape tattoos work best in bunches. Coloring is generally purple, but of course you can choose different coloring. Grapes are great when accompanied with flowers, vines, and leaves. You can have a very beautiful mural design with a grape design.

4. Apple

Apples are great and have various universal and personal meanings. Apples are old school ink designs and while they can stand alone, they look great when combined with other images. Unlike the other fruit tattoos, apples are accompanied with images that only work well with this type of fruit. For instance pin up girls posed on top of an apple, or a snake wrapped around an apple are very cool apple tat designs to consider. If your looking for another image to go with one you already have picked out, then consider the apple!

The Symbolism of an Anchor tattoos designs.................

Anchor tattoos were all the rage for sailors. It was often the symbol of a very experienced sailor. Anchor tattoo designs are one of the oldest types of tattoos. However with an interest in all things retro and chic these have come back into fashion. In fact in the tattoo field as a whole retro tattoo designs have been experiencing a resurgence. These retro tattoo designs have come back to life with new more vibrant tattoo colors, designs and placements on the body. This trend originated on the west coast mostly and has even become known as west coast tattoo style. Retro themes in tattoo designs are especially popular with the rockabilly group.

So what is the symbolism behind the anchor tattoo design? While the earliest forms of an anchor being used as a symbol harkens all the way back to the early Christians. They would often use the anchor as a hidden symbol for the cross. This was often used to show that they were Christian while escaping persecution from the Greeks.

The symbol much later became popular with sailors. This is a pretty obvious connection here being that sailor use anchors constantly in their work.

The anchor tattoo design has become a symbol for stability and a strong foundation. It can also mean a boyfriend, girlfriend or significant other in someone's life. You see a man might get an anchor tattoo to show that his girlfriend is the stability in his life.
These have become increasingly popular for women to get and they often place them just below their collar bone on the right of left side.

So the anchor tattoo is a great tattoo with lots of symbolism and history behind it. If you are looking for something to remind you to stay grounded or want to symbolism a particularly stable or grounding relationship that you have then an anchor tattoo design might be something to look into.
