iaedp™ Foundation Offering Core Courses for Certification Live in Orlando at 2020 Symposium

Leave a comment



PEKIN, Ill. (PRWEB)

The International Association of Eating Disorders Professionals (iaedp™), recognized for excellence in education and training standards for healthcare treatment providers who treat the full spectrum of eating disorders, is offering its group of Core Courses needed for certification in a live, two-day format on Wednesday, March 25 and Thursday, March 26 – just prior to the start of the 2020 Symposium in Orlando at the Omni at ChampionsGate.

The Core Courses are typically offered online, but the iaedp™ Symposium makes the live format possible. Each of the classes is presented by eating disorder professionals known nationally in the field for their eating disorders treatment expertise along with a co-presenter from the iaedp™ certification committee. Core Courses include: Course 1 – Overview of Eating Disorders: Prevalence, Diagnosis, and Contributing Factors Through a Social Justice and HAES® Informed Lens; Course 2 – Treatment Modalities for Feeding and Eating Disorders; Course 3 – Nutrition Therapy for Eating Disorders ; and Course 4 – Medical Treatment of Eating Disorders.

“Not only is it convenient for those professionals already attending the 2020 Symposium who want to take the Core Courses,” said Bonnie Harken, Managing Director at the iaedp Foundation, “it is exciting to experience the Core Courses in a live setting.”

The Core Courses may be taken at the Symposium to either satisfy the requirements for the Educational Designation and Certification or as a refresher. If a professional is pursuing certification, all other prerequisites regarding education, experience and supervision apply. Both the Educational Designation and Certification require a successful completion of a written final examination post-Symposium.

Following the conclusion of each Core Course, a candidate will take an exam for that particular Core Course and must pass each exam with a grade of 80 percent or higher. A passing Core Course exam score is valid for two years upon completion. The live, on-site Core Course workshops are equivalent to three Continuing Education Units (CEUs) per Core Course.

The Core Courses are offered as a separate 12-hour track for $375 or combined with a 2020 Symposium registration for an additional $250.

Best Car Insurance 2020 – Why Online Quotes Are Better Than Phone Quotes?

Leave a comment


News Image

“Getting online car insurance quotes is not just a trend, it is a necessity in our modern world. Time is valuable and it should not be wasted on old-school methods. Why lose hours, or even days, when you can get results in just a couple of minutes?” said Russell Rabichev, Marketing Director


LOS ANGELES (PRWEB)

Compare-autoinsurance.org has released a new blog post that explains why online car insurance quotes are far better than online quotes.

For more info and free car insurance quotes, visit https://compare-autoinsurance.org/why-are-auto-insurance-quotes-online-better-than-phone-quotes/

Shopping online has become a necessity for most of us. Keeping pace with a highly active and busy society means that some shortcuts must be used. Drivers looking for car insurance quotes should obtain them online. They do not longer have to make visits directly to companies or to spend endless minutes on the phone. Use http://compare-autoinsurance.org to get free quotes and find affordable coverage!


  • There are several disadvantages to getting quotes via phone. First of all, a client has to wait until someone answers the phone, then the call is redirected to a nearby agent. Then, the talks can be very time-consuming. Overall, it can be really time-consuming. And this for just one quote. In order to get a bigger view of the market prices, a client must get at least 5-10 quotes.

  • Making mistakes when getting quotes via phone is not recommended. Things get a bit more complicated when getting phone quotes. If the caller makes a mistake, the quote must be redone. Is not as simple as pressing a “back” button and correcting the error.

  • Using websites is the best way to get quotes. A potential customer can get quotes from either each insurer’s website or from specialized brokerage websites. Brokerage websites allow a person to input data once and get multiple quotes.

  • Get a better view of the available discounts. When completing online questionnaires, the user will be asked specific questions that will grant discounts. For example, a driver may be asked about existing safety devices, recent traffic violations and claims, graduating defensive driving or bundling options. And some discounts are really valuable, around 20% off the premium value, thus saving the policyholder several hundred dollars.

  • Online quotes do not expose the user to cunning agents. Getting estimates online does not expose a client to pushy agents or to manipulative sales tactics which may be used to convince someone buy a specific policy.

Compare-autoinsurance.org is an online provider of life, home, health, and auto insurance quotes. This website is unique because it does not simply stick to one kind of insurance provider, but brings the clients the best deals from many different online insurance carriers. In this way, clients have access to offers from multiple carriers all in one place: this website. On this site, customers have access to quotes for insurance plans from various agencies, such as local or nationwide agencies, brand names insurance companies, etc.

Can the Love of God Help Overcome Tragedy?” is a heartfelt memoir of the author’s journey to healing

Leave a comment


News Image


MEADVILLE, Pa. (PRWEB)

“Forever Whitney: Can the Love of God Help Overcome Tragedy?”: a captivating tome that encourages the readers to be hopeful in life. “Forever Whitney: Can the Love of God Help Overcome Tragedy?” is the creation of published author Karen Clark, a woman who developed a love for writing music. She also used music to make up songs that would help her study for tests. She even wrote a song and produced a music video with her students when she was teaching eight grade reading and english.

Clark writes, “Ever hear the phrase ‘Here today, gone tomorrow’ or ‘Tomorrow is not promised,’ or even ‘You never know what you have until it’s gone’? All three of these statements hit home for Karen Clark the night she received the phone call that would rock her world forever. It was that type of phone call that every person hates to wake up to, they have nightmares about, and they have no idea how to function when one receives it. Do you cry? Do you pray? Are you hopeful, or do you just sit and wait for the inevitable to happen? How do you go on with the rest of your life knowing that a piece of you is missing and will never return? Do you have friends that you can lean on? Or do you keep your emotions balled up inside and try to face this on your own?”

Published by Christian Faith Publishing, Karen Clark’s new book is a thrilling account that will let the readers experience the variety of emotions that the author went through during her journey to healing.

This book encourages every reader to be brave no matter how big and unyielded their battles in life are and through this heart-touching narrative, the writer gives everyone hope and assures them that there will be healing of wounds in life as long as they lift their trust to God.

SVHI PRP Therapy Announces New Website Focused on PRP for Hair Loss in the San Francisco Bay Area

Leave a comment


SVHI PRP Therapy offers innovative 'platelet rich plasma' therapy focused on hair loss at its Foster City, California

PRP for Hair Loss Bay Area

PRP therapy for hair loss is an innovative option for many Bay Area patients.


FOSTER CITY, Calif. (PRWEB)

SHVI PRP Therapy, the leader in innovative hair loss treatments based on PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma) at https://svhi-prp.com/, is proud to announce a new website. The new website is a “microsite,” focused specifically at the use of PRP to mitigate hair loss. Many Bay Area consumers are open to cutting edge technologies, and PRP is one option in their hair loss journey.

“PRP therapy for hair loss is an innovative option for many Bay Area patients,” explained Miguel Canales, surgeon and founder of SVHI PRP therapy. “Even more important, a patient who seeks out a consultation with me on hair loss will be able to review the entire range of options from PRP therapy to hair loss to hair transplantation. I will work with each patient to create the best treatment program for their hair loss needs.”

Persons who would like to learn more about the company can visit the new website. In particular, they can focus on the page specific to PRP therapy can visit https://svhi-prp.com/prp-therapy/. Another option is to read the FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) document at https://svhi-prp.com/faq/. That document explains as follows. Hair thinning in women, which affects nearly 40 million American women, is mainly due to heredity and can start any time after puberty. However, we also know that female pattern hair loss can be strongly influenced by age, nutrition, stress, surgery, medications, illness, social/lifestyle factors, hair care and more. As hair follicles weaken and stop producing hair, hair loss occurs.

Remarkably, PRP for hair loss can impact the hair itself, often resulting in hair rejuvenation.

PRP or Platelet Rich Plasma for hair loss is an in-office, non-surgical, treatment derived from the patient’s own blood that can be performed in about an hour. After the area of concern is identified, evaluated and measured, standardized medical photos are taken in the photo suite. Special gentle and sterile techniques and equipment are used to separate and concentrate the platelets and plasma from a small sample of peripheral blood. PRP contains growth factors and cytokines that have been shown to be responsible for stimulating and enhancing hair follicle function. The scalp is prepared with antiseptic solution and anesthetic (a “ring block,” not simply local anesthetic gel) is used to completely numb the scalp. Small injections of the PRP deliver the powerful platelet-derived growth factors into the skin at the level of the weak follicles. Electronic, mechanical microneedling is performed.

ABOUT SVHI PRP THERAPY

SVHI PRP Therapy is a Bay Area company based in Foster City, California, that offers PRP for hair loss to clients from San Francisco to San Mateo, Palo Alto to Redwood City, Redwood City to Burlingame and beyond. Clients who are suffering from hair loss and are seeking innovative therapy come to SVHI PRP Therapy to explore their options, including PRP therapy for hair loss. The company offers a no obligation consultation on hair loss with Dr. Miguel Canales, a recognized specialist in the hair loss industry including hair transplantation.

LaunchDarkly Raises $54 Million for Rapid Expansion of Feature Management Platform

Leave a comment


LaunchDarkly pioneered the category of feature management and has quickly become the de facto standard to reliably deploy software at scale…


OAKLAND, Calif. (PRWEB)

Funding to further develop its feature management platform to accommodate the surge in demand.

LaunchDarkly, the feature management platform software teams use to build better software faster, announced today $54 million in additional funding led by Bessemer Venture Partners from their Century Fund for growth-stage companies, with participation from Threshold Ventures, Redpoint Ventures, Uncork Capital, Vertex Ventures and Bloomberg Beta. With this vote of continued confidence, LaunchDarkly has received a total of $130 million in funding to date.

The investment will be used to address the surge in demand LaunchDarkly has seen for its feature management platform. Companies like IBM, TrueCar, and fuboTV are using LaunchDarkly to control feature lifecycles, eliminate risk from deployment processes, and increase efficiency throughout development cycles.

“LaunchDarkly pioneered the category of feature management and has quickly become the de facto standard to reliably deploy software at scale,” says Ethan Kurzweil, partner at Bessemer Venture Partners. “We are excited to support Edith, John and the LaunchDarkly team as they invest in transforming the way that software is built and launched, allowing companies to be more nimble and product-driven.”

In 2019, the company served more than 1 trillion features flags a day for more than a thousand customers, an increase of 500% over 2018. The spike was driven by the increasing pressure companies are experiencing to move quickly, innovate faster, and deliver exceptional user experiences. This demand is expected to continue as more teams strive to deliver these results without sacrificing quality or efficiency.

“Dynamic feature management is rapidly becoming the next big innovation in software development, allowing companies of all sizes to ship code faster with less risk,” says Josh Stein, Managing Partner of Threshold Ventures. “It’s been amazing to see the impact LaunchDarkly is having, and we’re excited to see how the platform and the team continue to grow in 2020.”

In April 2019 LaunchDarkly held its first conference, Trajectory Conference, in downtown Oakland. Attendees heard talks from industry leaders from organizations like Slack, Microsoft, Datadog, AWS, and IBM. LaunchDarkly will host the Trajectory Conference again on April 29-30, 2020.

LaunchDarkly continues to improve its core platform, including offered add-ons to core feature management functionality:

  • Experimentation – enabling teams to test ideas in production

  • Data Export – empowering teams to extract data into external analysis tools

  • Mobile Monthly Active User Packs – for feature management on mobile devices

The team has added multiple new languages, including Roku and C/C++, and enhanced integrations with GitHub, HashiCorp, and Slack.

“LaunchDarkly is creating an entirely new category called feature management,” says Scott Raney, General Partner at Redpoint Ventures. “Edith, John, and the team are solving some of the most difficult problems developers and product teams face and we couldn’t be more excited to continue on this journey!”

LaunchDarkly will also continue to invest in expanding its team. In 2019 LaunchDarkly grew its team in its Oakland headquarters, opened a sales and customer success hub in New York City, and hired sales, customer success, and developer advocates across North America. In 2020 LaunchDarkly will open sales offices in Sydney, Australia, and an engineering hub in London, UK.

About LaunchDarkly

Founded in 2014 by Edith Harbaugh and John Kodumal, LaunchDarkly is the feature management platform that software teams use to build better software, faster with less risk. Development teams use feature management as a best practice to separate code deployments from feature releases. With LaunchDarkly, teams control their entire feature lifecycles from concept to launch to value. Serving over 1 trillion feature flags a day, LaunchDarkly is used by teams at Atlassian, Microsoft, and CircleCI. Learn more at https://launchdarkly.com.
