Jessica Chastain Lights Up in New Movie Set; GreenBeanBuddy Suggests She Drop the Habit With the Help of an Electronic Cigarette

August 08, 2012     No comments


New York, NY (PRWEB) July 31, 2012

The use of electronic cigarette has already helped numerous celebrity smokers keep away from the cancer sticks. And as Jessica Chastain was caught puffing ciggies, GreenBeanBuddy.com commented that the device could do the same for her. So, the entertainment and sports news website GreenBeanBuddy.com advised the actress to quit the habit with a smokeless cigarette.

As reported by dailymail.co.uk, Jessica Chastain was pictured smoking in New York last Tuesday. In the two photos shared by the website, the red-head actress can be seen with a cigarette while strolling down the street.

The report stated that the 35-year-old Chastain, who came into fame last year, was in the city for a new movie entitled The Disappearance of Eleanor Rigby. And as it appeared, she has picked up her character’s bad habit, said the report.

James McAvoy, added the post, will play Chastain’s husband in the upcoming film.

Here’s an excerpt of the article Jessica Chastain Smoking in New Movie Set by GreenBeanBuddy.com

?If you are an actress, it’s your job to immerse yourself into the character that you’re playing. However, you must not get too so submerged into it to the point of living even your character’s bad habit. Sadly, for Jessica Chastain though that seems to be the case.

While filming her upcoming movie, the red-head actress was pictured smoking in Manhattan earlier today. And with her new character into cigarettes, it looks like smoking is one bad habit she acquired from it. She was spotted walking along the street with a coffee in one hand and a cigarette in the other in one picture. In another shot, you can see her beaming with an umbrella and a cigarette while walking down the sidewalk.?

In response to the report about Jessica Chastain smoking, entertainment and sports news website GreenBeanBuddy.com advised the actress to quit it with the cancer sticks. It said that for her own health, she could puff an electronic cigarette instead.

With it looking and tasting like a real cigarette but without the health risks, the website stated that the device would make it easier for Chastain and every other smoker to give up the habit with ecig.

Green Cleaning Ladybug Steam Cleaners May Help Prevent Breast Cancer, 1-800-GO-VAPOR.com Announces

August 03, 2012     No comments


Lake Forest, Illinois (PRWEB) July 28, 2012

1-800-GO-VAPOR.com, a leading nationwide marketer of vapor steam cleaners, announced today that it hopes to help women ditch their toxic cleaning supplies by making chemical-free Ladybug steam cleaners more affordable.

?Chemicals found in traditional household cleaning products may be contributing to the rise in breast cancer according to doctors and environmental scientists,? says V. K. Dunlop, a vice president at 1-800-GO-VAPOR.com. ?In 2009, The New York Times reported in ?Cancer From the Kitchen?? that ?the chances that a 50 year-old white woman will develop breast cancer has increased from 1% in 1975 to 12% today.??

According to Dunlop, Ladybug steam cleaners are scientifically proven to disinfect better and faster than traditional disinfectants?without chemicals.

?While bleach has been trusted for years as the perfect disinfectant, current research shows that a 60-minute exposure to bleach leaves as many live bacteria cells as dead cells,? says Dunlop. ?Fortunately, scientific testing found that Ladybug steam cleaners equipped with Ladybug?s proprietary patented TANCS? (Thermo Accelerated Nano Crystal Sanitation) technology kill the cells that are unreachable by bleach.?

According to Chuanwu Xi, Assistant Professor in the Department of Environmental Health at the University of Michigan, “Scientific studies have found that biofilms can be up to 1000 times more resistant to biocide inactivation than are suspended microbes. It is extremely difficult to get rid of biofilms and kill them. The efficacy of the steam vapor system is important because even strong chemical disinfectants such as bleach when allowed 20 minutes of dwell time did not achieve the same degree of kill that the TANCS?-equipped unit accomplished in three seconds.?

To make Ladybug steamers more affordable, 1-800-GO-VAPOR.com is including a free accessory set worth $ 30 with each Ladybug steam cleaner order.

All Ladybug steam cleaners?including the Ladybug Tekno 2350, the Ladybug 2150, the Ladybug 2200S and the Ladybug XL2300 (sometime referred to as the Ladybug XLT2300 when equipped with TANCS?)?kill dust mites and bed bugs on contact, remove allergens, kill bacteria, and remove mold and mildew. They are ideal for cleaning and sanitizing tile floors, grout, kitchens and bathrooms, children’s toys, workout rooms, auto interiors, scatter rugs, pet areas and much more.

Located in Lake Forest, Illinois, 1-800-GO-VAPOR.com is moving fast to educate consumers and businesses that finally, there’s a feasible, environmentally friendly alternative to chemicals. The company markets Ladybug, Reliable and Vapamore steam cleaners worldwide while maintaining an unblemished A+ rating with the Better Business. For more information, call 1-800-468-2767. 1-800-GO-VAPOR.com is a proud member of the Safer Chemicals, Healthy Families coalition, a nationwide effort to protect families from toxic chemicals.

New Flexible “Offer in Compromise” Guidelines Help Individuals With IRS Back Tax Debt

August 01, 2012     No comments


Thousand Oaks, CA (PRWEB) August 01, 2012

With the number of taxpayers in hard times, Sherri Gastelum of Platinum Tax Defenders, presents Offer in Compromise Tips and Installment Agreement guidelines to take benefit of the brand new IRS Fresh Start Program. The Fresh Start Program has opened the doors to new positive tax resolution options. With a blend of flexible Offer in Compromise guidelines and hassle-free Installment Agreements, it definitely makes sense to pay back your back taxes owed with the IRS as soon as possible.

As Sherri Gastelum clarifies: “The Fresh Start Program is a superb opportunity that should be employed before it goes away. You have to understand that meeting the requirements of having an IRS Offer In Compromise approved and knowing the details involved with the relaxed Installment Agreement policy remains hard for anybody. It’s possible to go it alone, but it makes more sense to obtain quality tax resolution services. Why make a preventable error when the stakes are so high? At this time, American tax payers have the very best chance possible to put their tax problems behind them.”

The real key point made by Sherri Gastelum is that only experienced tax specialists like the tax resolution specialists at Platinum Tax Defenders can ensure success with the Internal revenue service. The toughest choice a taxpayer with delinquent tax debts can make is to do nothing at all as the penalties and interest continue to add up. After all, tax debts with the IRS compound on a regular basis.

It is clear that not taking advantage of the IRS Fresh Start Program is a significant mistake for a troubled taxpayer affected by back taxes owed. This is how Sherri Gastelum describes the total satisfaction of his recent clients: “They are impressed by how accommodating the IRS has become. It is a beneficial step to obtain freedom from the growing burden of income tax debts. These relatively generous programs is not going to last so I hope taxpayers can help themselves by contacting us. The IRS has opened the door. The question is will distressed taxpayers prefer to take the first step and take advantage of the Fresh Start Program?

Brian Russell NFL: Help for Families with Autism is Vital

July 31, 2012     No comments

Seattle, Washington (PRWEB) July 17, 2012

While little is known about autism in comparison to other medical conditions, recent studies conducted by The University of Missouri suggest that it is one of the most expensive conditions for families to treat. A recent article from DailyRx observes these findings about the developmental disorder that is said to affect millions of children across America. The study results, published in in the July-September issue of Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, have encouraged several members of the health care community to pay further attention to this costly condition. Brian Russell, former NFL player, remains outspoken about autism research support and hopes these new statistics will prompt medical and health insurance providers to offer better solutions for troubled families.

According to DailyRx, ?statistics suggest that 1 out of every 110 children, 1.5 million people, born every year in the United States will be diagnosed with some form of an autism spectrum disorder.? While these numbers may be troubling, Russell notes that what is even more troubling is that the disorder is not selective ? it can occur in any family, regardless of their financial status. The NFL star has seen many families affected by this condition and has offered longtime support to the Reece Trahan Autism Awareness Foundation, in an effort to provide financial assistance and greater control of this elusive disorder.

Nancy Cheak-Zamora, PhD, at the University of Missouri and colleague, Megan Tregnano recently worked to observe the financial impact of autism on families. They researched thirteen published studies ?to examine the cost of health care, type of health care used, and how often health care was used.? What they found was remarkable ? autistic children required three to six times more health care services compared to children with other illnesses such as diabetes or asthma. Even more troubling, families had lower access to care, due to restrictions set forth by insurance companies.

Brian Russell comments on these findings, ?Families affected by autism have so much to deal with without increased health care costs. It is my hope that health care providers will step up and help cover the costs for these families.? However, Brian Russell?s and other supporters? efforts may not have been in vain according to Dr. Glen Elliot, PhD.

Elliot told DailyRx that while there has been a limited history of insurance provider support of autism-related services, things are slowly changing. Brian Russell, adds, ?Several states are legislating this, but changes are happening slowly, and people are in desperate need of services and care.?

ABOUT:

Brian Russell is a former professional football player who played for the Minnesota Vikings, Cleveland Browns, Seattle Seahawks, Jacksonville Jaguars and the Houston Texans. In 2003, he and Tony Parrish tied for the league lead in interceptions with nine. Brian Russell, a former professional athlete, is best known for his advocacy of education and healthy living. In addition, he is a spokesman for autism research and awareness. He is a proud spokesperson of the RT Autism Awareness Foundation ? a group that aims to help further autism research and support for affected families.

With All The Stress In The Southeast, Even The Therapists Want Help

July 30, 2012     No comments


Newton, MA (PRWEB) June 23, 2011

In the wake of the tornadoes and floods that have destroyed many homes and communities throughout the United States, clinicians are asking for strategies to support patients with real loss and for approaches for treatment providers to remain resilient while giving care. On June 1, Dr. Edmund Neuhaus, founder and CEO of Atheneum Learning, delivered the webinar entitled, ?Control What You Can Control: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy–CBT for Extreme Life Circumstances? for more than 80 clinicians associated with the Adult Clinical Services of the Alabama Psychiatric Services. This webinar was broadcast across the state of Alabama to psychiatrists, psychologists, social workers, nurses, and licensed mental health providers.

There is a much broader need than we realize. Numerous states have been devastated or impacted by severe storms, flooding and hundreds of tornadoes, but we tend to focus on the loss of housing and schools, and the devastation of personal property. Even more severe are the emotional turmoil, the fear, and the difficulty coping with what has happened and what comes next. States most severely impacted include Alabama, Missouri, Mississippi, Arkansas, Missouri, Iowa and Illinois but there was also significant damage in Texas, Oklahoma, North Carolina, South Carolina, Virginia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Ohio, and Massachusetts.

Most Effective Help We Can Give in Times of Great Stress: Dr. Neuhaus? webinar focused on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a highly effective, evidence-based treatment approach for people suffering from a wide range of problems, including depression, anxiety, life stress, and trauma caused by extreme life circumstances. Clinicians work actively with their patients to identify problems, set concrete goals, and monitor progress session by session. During this process, patients are educated about their reactions to the stress and the problems it causes, which leads to the core element of CBT: teaching patients coping skills that help them improve their daily functioning and enhance their sense of connection to their families, friends, and the larger community.

Dr. Neuhaus also emphasized the importance of clinicians monitoring their own stress reactions when working with patients who have suffered major trauma, a factor often overlooked in the field. He highlighted specific methods of self-care to help clinicians sustain healthy professional and personal functioning. The company, Atheneum Learning, is offering to make the recorded webinar available to provider members of organizations serving a population affected by these natural disasters.

Advances in Research May Help To Predict Cancers

July 28, 2012     No comments


Manchester,UK (PRWEB UK) 11 June 2012

Whilst still under development, the possibility that a simple blood test could be developed to determine the chance of breast cancer is a realistic prospect. The test looks for how genes are altered by environmental factors like alcohol and hormones – a process known as epigenetics.

One in five women are thought to have such a genetic “switch” that doubles breast cancer risk.

The scientists from Imperial College London analysed blood samples from 1,380 women of various ages, 640 of whom went on to develop breast cancer.

And they found a strong link between breast cancer risk and molecular modification of a single gene called ATM, which is found on white blood cells. A recent related announcement was made by the science publication Nature stating that pancreatic cancer may be able to be ?turned off? by the use of gene therapy. Two significant advances in the detection and treatment of common cancers in as many months.

Commenting on the recent announcements Lester Barr Consultant Breast Surgeon stated ?It is essential that women who are concerned about their risk of breast cancer do not become complacent and think that this test will conclusively predict their risk of developing the disease. The findings from Imperial College are important and indeed, very positive, but further work is necessary to determine how such changes in the ATM gene link in with other known risk factors.”

Talisman Programs for Children with Special Needs Launches Webinar Series to Help Parents Keep Kids Safe Online

July 27, 2012     No comments

Zirconia, NC (PRWEB) February 8, 2009

One of the nation’s leading providers of educational opportunities for special-needs students is launching a series of interactive online seminars to help parents navigate the murky waters of Internet social networking sites.

The first of these online webinars, “Facebook, My Space, My Child, Oh My,” is set for Wednesday, Feb. 25, at 7 p.m. Eastern Standard Time. Enrollment is limited to 25 participants per session, and registration is already underway.

The webinar series is sponsored by Talisman Programs, which provides summer camp and semester-length programs for young people (ages 8 to 21) who have learning disabilities, Attention Deficit Disorder/Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, Asperger’s Syndrome, and high-functioning autism.

According to Aaron McGinley, who is leading Talisman’s online outreach effort, the Internet forums will explain how social networking sites work, and will provide parents with insights into the risks and benefits of popular sites such as Facebook and MySpace. They will also allow parents to ask questions and discuss issues related to raising special-needs children in an increasingly networked world.

“A lot of parents have been calling us with two questions about their kids and the Internet,” McGinley said. “They want to know how they can keep their kids safe online, and they also want to learn how to make online social networking a positive experience for their children. These webinars will help answer both of those questions.”

MAXIMIZING SAFETY, MINIMIZING RISKS

For many young people with ADHD, Asperger’s, and related conditions, social networking sites can present both a world of possibilities and a range of potential problems. The Talisman webinars, McGinley said, are designed to help parents maximize the potential of the online world while minimizing the risks that their children may encounter there.

“A lot of our students struggle with skills such as reading social cues and interpreting nonverbal body language, so it’s natural for them to be attracted to some of these online social networking sites,” McGinley said. “It can be a bit easier for them to communicate online, and also it’s a big part of mainstream youth culture. It’s something that almost every kid is doing these days.”

But the enticements and opportunities that are offered by the online world are accompanied by many of the same challenges that special-needs children face in many of their daily interactions. “Our kids typically have trouble understanding social rules,” McGinley said. “Well, there are a separate set of social rules on the Internet, and failing to understand them can lead to some serious problems.”

For example, McGinley noted, children who are prone to taking risks and making poor choices about who they associate with offline are apt to behave in a similar fashion online. But because users are often unable to control or remove images or information once they have uploaded it, the consequences of posting an embarrassing photo or sending an inappropriate message can be exponentially worse than making a social mistake in a real-world environment.

ABOUT THE WEBINARS

The first Talisman webinar will focus on the following five topics:


????Social Networking 101: Learning the “ins and outs” of social networking sites
????Keeping your child safe on the Internet
????Preventing cyber-bullying and other types of online harassment
????Developing strategies to support your child’s online social experience
????Discussing specific issues related to special-needs children and online environments

“These are going be live, interactive discussions, where parents can get hands-on instruction in exactly how the technology works,” McGinley said. “They’ll see me log onto a sample Facebook profile, we’ll give them advice on what to do and what to watch out for, and they’ll be able to ask questions and get immediate feedback.”

With cyber-bullying and other types of inappropriate online behavior making frequent appearances in the headlines recently, McGinley said that Talisman’s online forums are a timely opportunity for parents to determine what risks their children may be facing, and learn how they can protect them in an effective, non-overbearing manner.

“Our webinars will give parents the opportunity to interact with experts, figure out what they need to be concerned about, and find ways to overcome the challenges that they’re facing,” McGinley said. “We’re going to help parents set limits and guide their children in a way that minimizes conflict and maximizes the kids’ ability to have a positive online experience.”

ABOUT THE EXPERTS

McGinley, who has been working with special-needs children in residential treatment facilities, group homes, and hospitals for more than a decade, will be co-hosting the Feb. 25 webinar with Dr. Robin Kowalski, a professor of psychology at Clemson University and one of the nation’s leading experts in online social media and cyber-bullying.

“Dr. Kowalski is a recognized expert in this field, and we believe that her input and assistance will help to get our webinar series off to a great start,” McGinley said. “The people who participate in the Feb. 25 webinar will be able to learn from one of the leading voices in the field of social networking and cyber-bullying.”

Following the Feb. 25 webinar, Talisman plans to host four online forums each month. For more information or to register for the Feb. 25 session, call (888) 458-8226 or e-mail amcginley (at) talismancamps (dot) com.
