Mediaplanet and CleanWell Team Up to Help Families Live Free, and CleanWell

The flu virus can live on surfaces for up to 48 hours if they’re not properly disinfected or sanitized, and during flu season, up to 59% of surfaces will be contaminated with the flu virus.


NEW YORK (PRWEB)

Helping to conclude National Vaccination Week, Mediaplanet today announces the launch of this December’s edition of “Fighting the Flu.” This campaign focuses on different prevention and treatment methods for this season’s flu virus, which is expected to be the worst of the decade.

According to the CDC, millions of people contract the virus every year, with thousands of these cases needing hospitalization. The flu virus can live on surfaces for up to 48 hours if they’re not properly disinfected or sanitized, and during flu season, up to 59% of surfaces will be contaminated with the flu virus. That amounts to 6 out of every 10 things you touch on a daily basis having the potential to transmit the flu to you. Due to these facts, this campaign will educate readers on the significant impact that the flu virus has on the nation and how to best prevent the spread of flu at home, at schools, and in the workplace.

That is one of the missions of CleanWell, a provider of botanical-based household cleaning and personal care products. CleanWell uses Thymol, an EPA-registered and proven plant-based antibacterial ingredient, to avoid the potential health and environmental hazards of chemicals like chlorine bleach and 2-butoxyethanol contained in conventional cleaners.

“Any surface can have germs, from desks, toys, countertops and doorknobs to computers, telephones, light switches, faucet handles and toilet seats. Regularly disinfecting these and other items can mean the difference between getting the flu and staying healthy,” said CleanWell CEO Stew Lawrence. “CleanWell’s botanical disinfectants kill 99.9% of household germs including salmonella, E.coli, norovirus, the Influenza A virus, and other cold and flu viruses on hard nonporous surfaces without the use of harsh chemicals.”

If the flu does fell someone in the house, CleanWell Director of Marketing Ramona Roof also advises being extra-vigilant in disinfecting the surfaces in the sick person’s bedroom and bathroom including sinks, toilet handles and remote controls. “Everything that a flu sufferer touches is a sure breeding ground for germs,” she notes, “so be sure to take special precautions in the areas of the house where they’re recuperating. And, of course, regular and thorough hand washing is the best way to prevent spreading flu germs.”

The print component of “Fighting the Flu” is distributed within today’s edition of USA TODAY in New York, South Florida, Atlanta, Fort Worth/Dallas, Boston, and Los Angeles markets, with a circulation of approximately 200,000 copies and an estimated readership of 600,000. The digital component is distributed nationally, through a vast social media strategy and across a network of top news sites and partner outlets. To explore the digital version of the campaign, visit: https://www.futureofpersonalhealth.com/campaign/fighting-the-flu/

This campaign was made possible with the amazing support of The CDC, Families Fighting Flu, American Hospital Association, American Red Cross, Healthline.com, the National PTA, American Academy of Pediatrics, HealthyChildren.org, Medical News Today, American Pharmacists Association, Dr. Oz, Consumer Healthcare Products Association, and the Commonwealth Care Alliance.

FDA gives simple instructions to its investigators: “If initial findings indicate the firm’s electronic records may not be trustworthy and reliable, or when electronic recordkeeping systems inhibit meaningful FDA inspection, a more detailed evaluation may be warranted.”

National Women’s Business Council Issues 2019 Annual Report

Leave a comment


News Image

“As the report and policy recommendations demonstrate, while we have made significant legislative and economic strides in advancing a new generation of women entrepreneurs, much work still lies ahead,” said Sara. “We will continue our efforts with a focus on our three areas of primary importance.”


WASHINGTON (PRWEB)

The National Women’s Business Council (NWBC) has submitted its 2019 Annual Report to the President, the Senate Committee on Small Business and Entrepreneurship, the House Committee on Small Business, and the Administrator of the Small Business Administration.

This report recaps NWBC’s 31st year and provides the findings, conclusions, and policy recommendations of the Council. NWBC Chair Liz Sara, now in her second year at the helm, has concentrated its mission to strengthen women in business on three major areas: improving access to capital for female founders, encouraging more women to start and grow companies in STEM-related fields, and removing obstacles for women business owners in rural areas.

The NWBC also launched a Women in Small Business Roundtable series across the country, which convened over 300 women business owners and stakeholders from New York, NY to Nampa, ID; from St. Petersburg, FL to Los Angeles, CA. The goal was to gain a deeper insight into the challenges and overall landscape in which women founders and small business owners currently operate.

“As the report findings and policy recommendations demonstrate, while we have made significant legislative and economic strides in advancing a new generation of women entrepreneurs, much work still lies ahead,” said Sara. “That is why the work of the Council continues to be vital. In 2020, we will continue our efforts with a laser focus on our three overarching issues areas of primary importance.”

The following are some of the policy recommendations found in the report:

For improving access to capital:

One policy recommendation is to Incentivize New Investments via a Federal Angel Investment Tax Credit: The Council recommends that Congress amend the Internal Revenue Code to allow for a Federal Angel Investment Tax Credit. This would constitute a credit of up to 50% of a qualified debt or equity investment which can be claimed over the first three (3) years of an investment—up to twenty-five percent (25%) in the first tax year, fifteen percent (15%) in the second tax year, and ten percent (10%) in the third tax year—with a lifetime limit of $50,000 and applicable to each firm in which an “angel” invests.

Provide a First Employee Tax Credit to Assist Small Businesses Hiring Their First Employee: The Council also supports a First Employee Tax Credit to assist small businesses, particularly those operating in service industries, to hire their first employee. The credit should equal 25% of the W-2 wages reported, which can be claimed annually, up to $10,000 in a single tax year, with a lifetime limit of $40,000. Given that many businesses do not turn a profit in the first few years of operation, the first employee tax credit should be creditable against the business’ payroll tax liability. However, there should be no earnings cap for this credit. The credit should be designed to also help individuals living in urban areas where the cost of living is higher, as well as new market entrants in the STEM fields.    

For encouraging more women in STEM-related fields:

Further    engage    HBCU’s    Conducting    R&D    in    SBIR Programming and Expand Outreach with Key Agencies: In light of SBA’s plans, NWBC urges the    agency    to    work    toward    increasing    program    participation among those conducting technological innovation research at HBCUs and Minority Serving Institutions (MSIs). More specifically, the Council urges the agency to include the eleven (11) HBCUs, identified by the agency’s Office of Entrepreneurial Development (OED) as conducting R&D, in the SBA SBIR Road Tour, as well as develop and/or expand its outreach and coordination efforts with other federal agencies such as the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and the National Science Foundation (NSF), to name just a few.

For removing obstacles for women in rural areas:

NWBC Supports the Development of a Playbook of Rural Case Studies: The SBA and USDA should develop an online playbook of case studies on rural entrepreneurship. Universities, local chambers of commerce, non-profits, corporations, and other relevant stakeholders are uniquely positioned to contribute informative case studies and valuable success stories, which may be showcased. Additionally, empirical data and best practices could be used to inform the creation of innovative trainings and resource programs for these particularly underserved areas. Due to the vast separation from urban hubs and the inadequate access to federal resources that strengthen them, rural communities are compelled to identify the most cost-efficient, creative solutions to economic hardships.

New Bodybuilding App Muscle Shocker Torches the Trends

Leave a comment


We wanted to develop an app that focused on a streamlined user experience, minimizing the fluff while maximizing the gains.


ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (PRWEB)

With the fitness app market value estimated to reach nearly $15 billion by 2026 and huge competition in the mobile app field, it’s no wonder why companies are scrambling to one-up each other by integrating every possible social media outlet and advanced personalization into their apps.

Along with requesting users share their progress and photos on Facebook and Instagram, most industry dominant bodybuilding apps like Strong App and JEFIT start with long questionnaires intended to custom-tune the user workout. During which, users are prompted to input the weight and number of reps for each set. For lifters who need this advanced personalization and tracking these apps are great. But for the others, who just want help coming up with an intense workout, bodybuilding apps like these are cumbersome and overwhelming.

Today’s new-to-market app, Muscle Shocker is breaking the trends and adopting the ‘less is more’ approach. Muscle Shocker, does not offer social sharing options nor complex set up or in-workout required responses. The app can open and within just a few seconds give users a targeted, intense workout geared at breaking plateaus utilizing the best bodybuilding science available.

“We wanted to develop an app that focused on a streamlined user experience, minimizing the fluff while maximizing the gains.” -Clayton Mayo, app co-founder.

The developers (and owners/creators) are also blazing a new road by making the app affordable to a wider market.

“No bait and switch pricing here. We tested countless competitor apps and were amazed at how many appear ‘free’ only to offer users a very limited workout before insisting they pay a monthly fee ranging from $5 to $50 a month to unlock the full version. Not us, not Muscle Shocker. Our free version offers 95% of the app functionality with shocking workouts at no charge. Our Pro version is just a one-time fee of $4.99.” -Mayo.

Muscle Shocker™ is now available as a free download on both the App Store and Google Play. To learn more about the app and how it operates, visit their website (http://www.muscleshocker.com) for a detailed breakdown.

Mediaplanet and Dr. Mike Discuss the Future of Healthcare

Leave a comment

This campaign aims to serve as a guidebook for physicians and healthcare professionals and to highlight technologies that increase the quality of patient care.


NEW YORK (PRWEB)

Mediaplanet today announces the launch of this December’s edition of “Connected Health.” This campaign aims to serve as a guidebook for physicians and healthcare professionals and to highlight technologies that increase the quality of patient care.

Healthcare is on the forefront of a digital revolution! With the hopes that patients, providers, payers and physicians will have an open flow of communication in the near future, healthcare will be connected more than ever before in the past. Innovations that utilize everything from artificial intelligence, data, and analytics to virtual reality are creating better health outcomes for the population as whole. Doctors and health systems have been slow to adopt these crucial technologies, but it is key to improving the quality of care that is provided.

The print component of “Connected Health” is distributed within today’s edition of USA Today in Chicago, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Houston, New York, Boston and Washington DC markets, with a circulation of approximately 200,000 copies and an estimated readership of 600,000. The digital component is distributed nationally, through a vast social media strategy, and across a network of top news sites and partner outlets. To explore the digital version of the campaign, visit: https://www.futureofpersonalhealth.com/campaign/connected-health/

Mikhail Varshavski, better known as Dr. Mike graces the cover of the print publication. Through an exclusive interview on the interior, Dr. Mike explains his take on the digital transformation within healthcare. He encourages doctors to utilize social media to interact with patients. “It fosters a very healthy doctor-patient conversation. When patients come into my office after they’ve seen so much of my content, we can start talking about their conditions as if we’ve known each other for much longer than ten minutes.”

Doctor Mike is a board-certified family medicine physician focusing on health education and disease prevention. One of the leading names in medicine on and offline, Doctor Mike has amassed a global following of over eight million subscribers. He advocates for evidence-based healthcare and is active in combating misinformation both online and on television.

This campaign was made possible with the support of HIMMS, Dr. Mike, AHIP, Northwestern University, Trapollo, Total Brain, Savonix, Department of Human and Health Services, Deloitte and Convey Health Solutions.

Prosper is pleased to be able to partner with Neighborhood Credit Union to serve the families and businesses of our fast-growing town.


PROSPER, Texas (PRWEB)

Enjoying an unseasonably warm and sunny Friday in the midst of the holiday season, Neighborhood Credit Union leaders joined with the Prosper Chamber of Commerce on December 13 to break ground on a new location at 2201 E. University Drive, near the intersection with Coit Road in Prosper.

Kimmell noted Neighborhood Credit Union’s mission and longstanding commitment to a “neighbors helping neighbors” philosophy and introduced several Neighborhood Credit Union board members and senior staff members, as well as the building design group, Level 5.
