Leave a comment


Doggies for Dementia with Judy and Maggie Moo

“It’s a wonderful opportunity for families to experience the photo session, receive compassionate photos, and raise awareness for Alzheimer’s Disease and related dementias. Families become advocates and love knowing they help others,” Davailus says.


AUSTIN, Texas (PRWEB)

Doggies for Dementia is a program that raises awareness for Alzheimer’s Disease and gifts special photo sessions to those impacted by Alzheimer’s Disease and related dementias. The program founder, Carmen Davailus recognized the power of images to change the world after witnessing the isolation, loneliness, and stigma of dementia.

Time: 3:30 pm

Free Doggies for Dementia Photo Shoots Provide Comfort and Ease Loneliness

Photographer Carmen Davailus Buck combines pet therapy and portrait therapy to bring peace to people who have dementia and their families. “A professional portrait of a loved one gives families something special to hold on to as they cope with a devastating illness,” she said. Davailus, a Texas native, has traveled all over the country to do these free portrait sessions. She noted, “My goal is to raise awareness about Alzheimer’s and other dementia diagnoses everywhere in America.”

While portraits capture precious memories, it can be uncomfortable or unnerving for someone with Alzheimer’s Disease to sit for a photo shoot, especially with a photographer they don’t know. Carmen removes roadblocks by inviting dogs into the portrait sessions. “This allows me to capture people in natural and spontaneous situations,” said Davailus. “A dog brings out their personalities in such a beautiful way that the portraits often move families to tears. They become treasured family keepsakes.” Davailus became passionate about helping people with Alzheimer’s Disease during four decades as a nurse practitioner. She noticed many patients and their families suffered from loneliness and isolation and wanted to find a way to bring them some joy. She knows that families dealing with dementia are often financially strapped. So, she never charges for her Doggies and Dementia portraits. She noted, “The program is designed to gift the family photos and an experience that they wouldn’t normally have.”

Community Support Needed to Continue the Program: The photographer relies on corporate sponsorships to offset the costs involved. So far, she has worked with skincare company Rodan and Fields and The Legacy at Georgetown Senior Living Center. “It’s a wonderful opportunity to help an individual and to help raise awareness for Alzheimer’s Disease and related dementias,” she said.

About Carmen Davailus (Buck): Carmen Davailus Buck is an Austin-based photographer and former nurse practitioner who has extensive experience supporting people who have Alzheimer’s Disease. During four decades working in healthcare, she helped thousands of people who had dementia. They inspired her to write her award-winning book, Just See Me – Sacred Stories from the Other Side of Dementia.

Jerry Kaulius – Founder & Chairman
at JK Design

“It takes someone with a rare combination of talent, vision, and determination to build a business from the ground up, and make it a success for more than three decades,” said Martha Marchesi, CEO of JK Design.


HILLSBOROUGH, N.J. (PRWEB)

Creative marketing agency JK Design announced that founder and Chairman Jerry Kaulius has been named to the Advertising Hall of Fame of New Jersey. He will be honored along with three other inductees at a ceremony and dinner at the Highlawn Pavilion in West Orange on November 7.

Sponsored by the New Jersey Advertising Club, the Advertising Hall of Fame of New Jersey was founded in 1981 to recognize individuals who have made outstanding contributions to the creative and economic values of the advertising industry in the state.

This year’s nominees were evaluated on eight criteria: leadership, creativity, professional integrity, professional history, philanthropic activity, economic contributions, achievement of national significance, and personal efforts to advance New Jersey’s position in the national advertising community.

Kaulius founded JK Design in 1985 with his wife, Vice Chair Barbara Kaulius, from their home in Edison. The agency has grown to include a multidisciplinary team of more than 50 and is now headquartered in Hillsborough, with satellite offices in New Brunswick and New York City. Its client roster includes Philips Lighting, Marco’s Pizza, Quest Diagnostics, Ricoh, and Priceline, among many other major brands.

Kaulius’ design work has received national distinction in such publications as Print magazine and Graphic Design USA; his creative direction has also been honored with Telly, MarCom, Communicator, Hermes, Jersey, and other awards.

“It takes someone with a rare combination of talent, vision, and determination to build a business from the ground up, and make it a success for more than three decades,” said Martha Marchesi, CEO of JK Design. “Jerry has consistently seen where our clients’ needs were headed, and put together the right people and capabilities to meet them—creating a collaborative culture where every project is a new opportunity to go above and beyond.

“This is a well-deserved recognition of his creative thinking, professional integrity, and unwavering dedication to his clients, his community, and his employees.”

The nomination also highlighted Kaulius’ charitable work—including the agency’s “JK Gives Back” volunteer program and longtime pro bono support of New Brunswick-based Embrace Kids Foundation—and his commitment to nurturing New Jersey’s advertising talent through scholarships and other opportunities.

“I feel incredibly lucky to have turned my passion for drawing into a lifelong career, and to have had the chance to inspire other people’s creativity even as they’ve inspired me,” said Kaulius.

“I’m thankful for this fantastic honor—and grateful to my JK family for helping me achieve it.”

The Beginnings of Humankind” To Be Available in Audio Format

Leave a comment


Lucy Skeleton

“We cannot fully grasp who we are and where we are headed as a species until we have a more complete knowledge of our evolutionary roots.” – Donald C. Johanson, Paleoanthropologist


ASHLAND, Ore. (PRWEB)

To mark the 45th year anniversary of the discovery of the most famous hominid fossil in the world, “Lucy: The Beginnings of Humankind” is being released as an audiobook narrated by the author and her discoverer, Dr. Donald Johanson.

One of the most accomplished scholars of human origins, Johanson has produced some of the field’s most groundbreaking discoveries, including the most widely known and thoroughly studied fossil of the 20th century, the 3.2-million-year-old “Lucy” skeleton.

The 20th century was peppered with important early-human fossil finds, but Johanson’s 1974 discovery in Ethiopia that added a crucial link, prompting major revisions in our understanding of human evolution. “Lucy” possesses an intriguing mixture of ape-like features ( a projecting face and small brain) but also characteristics we consider human, such as upright walking, marking an important step on the path to Homo sapiens.

In the early 1970s the remote region of Ethiopia known as the Afar Triangle was terra incognita and its potential for illuminating our evolutionary past was unrecognized. In spite of the desolate and hostile nature of the area Johanson, with meager funding led an expedition to a site known as Hadar and began to unearth a treasure trove of fossils, including Lucy, that walked the planet some 3 to 4 million years ago. So revolutionary were these discoveries that the entire story of how we became human required substantial revision. Now some 45 years later we know more details of the vital picture of how humans came to be, but the general outlines of the human family tree proposed by Johanson’s early work continue to form the core of that story.

Johanson is committed to sharing and explaining his scientific discoveries to the general public. His efforts in this have reached across multiple media—including television, books, and his award-winning science website http://www.becominghuman.org, in addition to lecturing at universities, corporations, and public forums. Johanson is the founding director of the internationally respected Institute of Human Origins at Arizona State University and is available for interview.

The audiobook is published through Blackstone Publishing, one of the largest independent audiobook publishers in the U.S., and can be purchased at Audible.

Learn More About Johanson:


  • He is an honorary board member of the Explorers Club, and was awarded their highest honor, the Explorers Club Medal in 2010.

  • He is a fellow of the Royal Geographical Society.

  • He is a distinguished member of the Siena Academy of Sciences in Italy.

  • He is the recipient of the American Book Award in Science 1981: Johanson, D.C. and M. A. Edey. 1981. Lucy: The Beginnings of Humankind. New York: Simon and Schuster

  • He received a Webby Award in 2002 for best science web site: http://www.becominghuman.org

  • Johanson also serves as the Virginia M. Ullman Chair in Human Origins at Arizona State University, where he teaches

Solvang Life Insurance Agent, Rick Torres, Reports The Top Reasons To Review Insurance Policies

Leave a comment


life insurance Solvang

Life changes and that means life insurance policies need to change as well.


PASO ROBLES, Calif (PRWEB)

There is more to life insurance than simply purchasing a policy and filing it away in a safe place. Rick Torres, a life insurance agent from Solvang, CA believes that periodic reviews of life insurance policies are important for a number of reasons.

Life changes and that means life insurance policies need to change as well. Events like marriage (or divorce) and a new baby mean dependents change or that it’s time for a life insurance policy for the new baby. A new job or promotion and raise at work might mean it’s time to increase the policy’s value. Even buying a new and more expensive home can mean it is time to review life insurance to make sure your family’s lifestyle is protected. It’s a good idea to meet with your insurance agent to review a life insurance policy at least once a year and definitely any time there is a change.

It is also important to review the life insurance policies of marriage or domestic partners. Changes to the income or life status of each partner impact the future of the entire family.

Here are the top reasons to review a life insurance policy:


  • Income changes: Getting a new job, even losing a job for any reason is the time to evaluate a life insurance policy. An increase in income usually means lifestyle changes. Increasing life insurance coverage helps guarantee that beneficiaries can maintain a good lifestyle when you are no longer around to provide for them. Starting or selling a business is time for a review and so is retirement.

  • Health changes: Improvements in personal health, such as losing weight, reducing blood pressure and increasing heart health may reduce life insurance rates. Changes in the health of a beneficiary might mean it is time to consider increasing your life insurance coverage to help ensure they are able to pay medical costs if you are no longer around. Consider making provisions for the care of aging parents if you unexpectedly pass away before they do.

  • Changes in family status: Marriage, divorce, domestic partnerships, a new baby, an adoption or any other change to family status means it is time to review life insurance policies. In the case of family status, it’s important to review all of the life insurance policies including wife, husband and children to make sure all coverage is adequate for the future of the beneficiaries.

  • Upsizing, downsizing or paying off a home: Buying a new, larger home, paying off the mortgage, or retiring to a smaller home might mean it’s time to change a life insurance policy.

  • Beneficiaries have changed: An ex-wife or husband benefiting from the death of a former partner is not just fodder for a movie script, it actually happens. It’s important that life insurance beneficiaries be kept current as life changes, but this doesn’t necessarily mean removing an ex or adding a child. The desire to provide for aging parents, or a favorite niece or nephew, even grandchildren, are good reasons to review the life insurance policy to be sure it is adequate for the needs of new beneficiaries.
