DOROT’s Homelessness Prevention Program featured in the New York Times

Leave a comment


Dorot helped Ms. Henderson move into a transitional living residence on the Upper West Side and search for permanent housing. After three and a half months, she found an apartment in an assisted-living center in Williamsburg, Brooklyn.


NEW YORK (PRWEB)

On Monday, DOROT was featured in a New York Times “Neediest Cases” column. It shares the story of a retired and disabled 64-year-old New Yorker who recently faced homelessness. A call to 311 eventually connected her with DOROT, and our Homelessness Prevention Program moved her into transitional housing until she found a new home in an assisted-living facility in Brooklyn.

DOROT alleviates social isolation among the elderly and provides services to help them live independently. Our Homelessness Prevention Program and Aftercare Program (HPP) help low-income seniors break the cycle of homelessness, reconnect them to the community, and ease social isolation.

The HPP and Aftercare Program provide lifelong support, including ongoing counseling, communal meals and holiday celebrations, and material support such as food, clothing, and cash assistance, to ensure that these vulnerable individuals never become homeless again. The seniors HPP serves represent NYC’s most vulnerable older adult population. HPP provides them with a warm and caring community, through engagement of volunteers and programs that builds new social connections and reduces loneliness.

Laurence Fishburne opens a segment discussing Health Management Tools on “Behind The Scenes”

Leave a comment


As the medical field continues to grow exponentially with different specializations and needs to match a growing population, these facilities require different tools in technology to assist them with properly maintaining patient records securely and assisting them with providing the care they need.


MIAMI (PRWEB)

A gifted actor and generous philanthropist, Laurence Fishburne, will introduce a new segment taking a look at the leading health management tools on an episode of “Behind The Scenes.” The growth of health management tools in health facilities is critical for meeting the demands and needs of patients by the medical staff. This segment will focus on which tools are the most successful in allowing these professionals to meet efficiency and service goals for their patients.

As the medical field continues to grow exponentially with different specializations and needs to match a growing population, these facilities require different tools in technology to assist them with properly maintaining patient records securely and assisting them with providing the care they need. These tools refer to electronic software that stores data and allows physicians and their staff to track the care at a higher accuracy level. This level of accuracy allows patients to get the best care for their needs.

Monitoring medical treatment for today’s population is essential to continue positive health promotion. This also gives the medical field solid data to utilize as they continue to make improvements and tools to benefit all of those working in the medical field. Without these tools, the medical field would not be able to manage the patient numbers that they are currently experiencing and the service in these areas would be declining instead of rising. It is critical that those working in the field have a thorough understanding of what tools they may use and for society in general to have an understanding of an industry that all take part in regularly.

“Behind The Scenes” is independently produced by an award-winning creative and production team, and has been notated for awards within the industry.

Leave a comment



BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (PRWEB)

The 9th annual Botox & Bingo event held by Village Dermatology allows patients and friends to participate in several games of Bingo in order to win prizes. Individuals are permitted to purchase as many Bingo cards as they would like for $5 a pack. All of the proceeds from these purchases go to a local charity in the Birmingham area.

The annual event has become a staple in the calendar for most patients of the practice and others wanting to learn more about the prizes being given away. This year there were over 250 individuals in attendance, and the event had to be moved outside to accommodate all of the participants.

“The event allows us the unique opportunity to spend an evening with our friends outside of normal business hours and have some fun. The great thing is that because the event is so well attended we are able to support an amazing local charity like the WellHouse,” explained Dr. Jenny Sobera.

Botox & Bingo is held in the latter part of the year in the month of October. To stay abreast of the next Botox & Bingo event, individuals should follow the practice on social media or sign up for the monthly newsletter offered by the practice.

I luv being able to buy data ect for my sister that struggles in South Africa. (Jose on Trustpilot.com)


ATLANTA (PRWEB)

MobileRecharge.com, the expat service facilitating local and international mobile top ups, drops the fees and donates part of the purchase to charity on November 10. This is the 5th time this brand celebrates World Top Up Day on November 10, and this year they went the extra mile. Besides Facebook contest that offer free top ups, November 10 is the day everyone can make an online top up and pay zero processing fees. Plus each top up made on MobileRecharge.com contributes to a larger Kiva donation, without having to get extra money out of the pocket. All expats, travelers and independent top up givers are invited to join the action via MobileRecharge app or MobileRecharge.com: https://mobilerecharge.com/

First benefit on November 10 is that any mobile recharge (airtime sent) on MobileRecharge.com or MobileRecharge app will go through without having to pay any processing fee. Basically, what people order that day is what they send, nothing extra. Which is a great advantage, considering that all transfer of goods services like MobileRecharge.com apply this fee to cover for international transactions that make possible the fast transfer, whether mobile credit (like in this case) or else. The recharge is done in less than 1 minute, and the 0 fee will be signalled in the check out. The condition is to make the top up until 23:59 EST, on November 10, 2019.

What the top up triggers automatically is a donation.

Anyone interested to save on their mobile top ups and make a donation with zero effort on their side is invited to join World Top Up Day celebration on MobileRecharge.com, the app or Facebook on November 10, 2019.

New Balluff Inductive Couplers for Discrete Sensors Transmit Power and Signals Across an Air Gap

Leave a comment


News Image


FLORENCE, Ky. (PRWEB)

Balluff’s inductive couplers connect up to eight discrete sensors across a small air gap, eliminating hardware failures that can occur when slip rings, connectors, or other electromechanical connections wear out.

The M18 cylindrical version can connect to up to 4 discrete PNP sensors with 100 mA of output current, and the Q40 cuboid version can connect to up to 8 with 500 mA of output current. Both versions have an IP67 rating. Balluff’s passive junction boxes with M8 or M12 connectors allow you to quickly connect the remote coupler to the sensors.

Multiple remote couplers can be used with a single base coupler. This makes these couplers a smart retrofit for applications like die molds, where in-die sensor cables must be disconnected and reconnected frequently, eventually causing them to fail. With inductive couplers, you mount the remote coupler at the same position on each die or mold, then set the needed die or mold in place. Once the base and remote are in close proximity, LEDs on the base and remote switch on to indicate that a connection is active.

The key features of the inductive couplers for discrete sensors include

  • Two form factors

  • 18 mm cylindrical (M18) unit for up to four sensors

  • 40 mm cuboid (Q40) unit for up to eight sensors

  • IP67 protection for harsh environments

  • Internal temperature monitoring

  • LEDs visualize operating status on base and remote

Frederick F. Haussman Jr.’s newly released “Seventh Messenger” is a jarring revelation of the imminent end of times that will herald the return of Christ

Leave a comment


News Image


MEADVILLE, Pa. (PRWEB)

“Seventh Messenger”: a sagacious account of attestations from the Holy Bible that unveil the pending return of the Savior to redeem and condemn those who believe in him. “Seventh Messenger” is the creation of published author Frederick F. Haussman Jr.

Haussman Jr. shares, “Every good story has a climax, but a fantastic story has an unforgettable climax. This book is a true story of my life.

“So when the earth does shake more, then it is likely it will be because of a solar flare from a supernova, and its impact is coming our way or it could be the Lord’s just heating the earth’s core.

“This will bring about the Antichrist because the world will be hurting and will need a savior.

“All I know for sure is what the Holy Spirit has told me that the seven thunders will utter their voices. They have already sounded, but because of this book, the whole world will know for sure the truth. Chapter 10 of Revelation is revealed. We are closer to the second coming of Christ, so you need to get your name written in the Lamb’s book of life, only by believing in Yasha, the Messiah.

“I do not know the year the earth will shake, but it’s going to happen. The season is near. Please believe me, for I’m only the messenger. It does not bother me if you do not believe. You’re only hurting yourself. I have sounded the warning. Your blood is not on my hands. For the Father does love you, so turn to him and save your soul.”

Published by Christian Faith Publishing, Frederick F. Haussman Jr.’s new book emphasizes vigilance in faith to assure salvation from the final destruction of the world that reproves the unbelieving.

Inspired by the divine, this book desires people to be reminded of God’s gracious yet just omnipotence for all creation.

View the synopsis of “Seventh Messenger” on YouTube.

Consumers can purchase “Seventh Messenger” at traditional brick-and-mortar bookstores or online at Amazon.com, Apple iTunes store, or Barnes and Noble.
