Hearing aids, glasses and other assistive devices are life-changing to children with physical challenges. Additionally, disaster relief kits, drought-resistant seeds, vocational training and bicycles are just a few of the other gift options.

This year, the Gifts For Life catalog is organized to align with the organization’s three key program priorities: helping communities promote the rights of Women; supporting and protecting Children so they reach appropriate health and developmental milestones; and working with families and communities to adapt to the effects of a rapidly changing Climate.

“Organizing the gifts by priority program areas allows supporters to see just how each gift contributes to Episcopal Relief & Development’s work to benefit Women, Children and Climate,” said Esther Cohen, Chief Operating Officer for Episcopal Relief & Development. ”With each order you can be a part of making lasting change for an individual or family, both now and for years to come.”

Leave a comment


News Image

The GaNFast 2C1A eliminates the need for three separate wall chargers by delivering three fast-charging outputs in a case size of only 3.2 x 3.5 x 7.5 cm (84 cc) and125 grams which is less than half the size & weight of older, slower silicon-based designs, creating the ultimate all-in-one charger


EL SEGUNDO, Calif. (PRWEB)

Navitas Semiconductor today announced its partnership with Baseus to introduce the “2C1A” 65W 3-port mobile wall charger with GaNFast (Gallium Nitride) power IC technology to achieve the world’s smallest and lightest portable form-factor.

The GaNFast 2C1A eliminates the need for three separate wall chargers by delivering three fast-charging outputs in a case size of only 3.2 x 3.5 x 7.5 cm (84 cc) and125 grams which is less than half the size & weight of older, slower silicon-based designs, creating the ultimate all-in-one charger. To achieve optimal, simultaneous charging for a user’s laptop, tablet and smartphone, the 2C1A provides 65W of total power with 45W guaranteed from the USB-C port 1 and 20W shared across the USB-C port 2 and USB-A outputs.

“This is ‘Baseus 3.0’,” said Mr. Shiyou HE, Baseus’ founder and CEO. “The market has begun to redefine Baseus, and Baseus has begun to redefine itself. As the star product, the 2C1A GaN charger was launched based on Navitas’ GaNFast technology, which makes it the smallest three-port charger in the world. It is also the prime intention of Baseus to adhere to ‘practical aesthetics’, and constantly explore and expand. After the 2C1A’s product launch at Baseus’ Star New Product Conference, strong market and consumer support has highlighted Baseus’ concept of bringing real value to users. Baseus has the vision to work with partners to lead consumers into the GaN charging era!”

“Baseus’ focus on exploiting leading-edge technology to drive world-class end-user experience mirrors Navitas’ own strategy,” said Gene Sheridan, CEO of Navitas, adding “We thank Mr. He and the Baseus team for choosing the 2C1A charger as the first release at the Star New Product Conference, and we look forward to further collaboration”.

Robbie Chen, Product Director of Baseus, commented “The 2C1A GaN charger has received attention beyond expectation and we believe it will become one of the hot selling products of 2019. Baseus will confidently bring additional new GaN products to consumers.”

The 2C1A power adapter uses highly-integrated, speed-optimized, next-generation gallium nitride (GaN) semiconductor technology that replaces old, slow discrete silicon components, and enables the adapter to utilize high-frequency, high-efficiency, soft-switching techniques to shrink the size, weight and cost of passive components and heatsinks. Navitas GaNFast power ICs enable a new generation of fast-charging mobile adapters for smartphones, tablets and laptops from 27W to 300W+.

WESTCHESTER COUNTY, N.Y. (PRWEB)

The Arc Westchester Foundation, which raises public awareness and financial resources for The Arc Westchester’s programs and services for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (I/DD) and their families, is pleased to announce that its 16th annual “A Matter of Taste” fundraiser was the largest in the Foundation’s history. More than 400 supporters attended the event, which took place on Tuesday, October 22 at Glen Island Harbour Club in New Rochelle. Nearly $440,000 was raised at this year’s event.

The evening featured delicious cuisine prepared by some of Westchester County’s finest chefs, accompanied by an assortment of fine wines, as well as a silent auction and IMPACT Gift/paddle raise. More than 20 culinary and beverage participants served attendees at this year’s event. For a full list, visit https://www.arcwestchester.org/amatteroftaste/restaurants-2/.

This year’s “A Matter of Taste” celebrated The Arc Westchester’s 70th anniversary of providing innovative programs and supports to individuals with I/DD and their families. During his remarks, Ruedi Laager, president of The Arc Westchester Foundation, honored the founding families who paved the way for the organization to grow and expand throughout its history.

“We stand on the shoulders of giants,” he said. “They laid the foundation for everything that we do today, and we would not be able to support 2,000 individuals every day without all the hard work they put forth 70 years ago.”

The evening featured two awards of recognition: the Family Partner Award and the Corporate Partner Award.

The Family Partner Award was bestowed upon The Kurzer Family. Over the years, The Kurzer Family has created many points of contact with The Arc Westchester. Diane and Alan, along with his company Tradition Energy, are generous supporters of The Arc Westchester Foundation, and their daughter Stephanie has worked in The Arc Westchester’s Children School for many summers. Most importantly, Diane has served as a registered nurse for the organization’s Residential Department for more than 20 years, serving as a liaison between doctors, staff and family, as well as training staff.

“I feel very attached to the residents and staff members of the homes that I work with,” she said. “It’s important to find something in common with those that we support, whether a love of animals or music, as a way to bond with them. I am proud to work for The Arc Westchester and my family is truly honored by this recognition.”

The evening’s second honoree was Daniel Molino from Grassy Sprain Longterm Care, Inc., who received the Corporate Partner Award for more than his two-decade long partnership with The Arc Westchester. Daniel has been actively engaged with the organization for 24 years, with his company providing all of the medications needed for individuals living in The Arc Westchester’s residences. Fueled by his passion for this special population, he designed innovative blister packaging for daily medications, creating a system that is convenient, accurate and safe.

“I am humbled by this honor and thrilled to be here tonight on behalf of all of us at Grassy Sprain Longterm Care, Inc.,” he said. “My interactions with organizations like The Arc Westchester, who provide care and support for individuals with special needs and their families, is the most rewarding work of my pharmacy career.”

Free Optimal Age Fitness & Health Event November 9 in Short Hills, NJ.

LEARN HOW TO SLOW THE AFFECTS OF AGING


SHORT HILLS, N.J. (PRWEB)

Gym Source will present an Optimal Age Health & Fitness information and training event November 9, 2019 10:00AM-4:00PM at 740 Morris Turnpike in Short Hills, NJ.

Each participant will receive a custom fitness profile and Optimizing Age plan of action from physiologist and educator Angela Santoni, PhD and celebrity trainer Danny Musico.

Optimizing Age is a concept developed by Angela Santoni, PhD. It considers the various systems of the human body that change as we age and how to address each system (muscle, heart, brain, bone) to achieve optimal health.

Optimal health is the highest possible physical, mental, and social state with the lowest risk of developing future diseases.

“Optimal Age asks that we throw away the idea of accepting age as a fixed state and take ownership of the controllable components of aging. It’s not about turning back a clock, but it’s also not about settling in,” Santoni explains. “It’s about understanding the changes in your body based on age, and targeting the areas you can improve through exercise and nutrition.”

Danny Musico, personal trainer to the stars, will lead participants through training techniques tailored to specific fitness goals and concerns. The event will feature several stations, with assessment tools, fitness information and nutritional advice at each location. Participants will learn what they can do to improve their health at every age.

PDC Launches New Ident-Alert™ Color Coded Wraps for Identifying Special Risk Patient Conditions

Leave a comment


ident alert wraps and tags for wristbands

Ident-Alert Wraps allow providers to identify special risk patients on a single wristband for improved patient comfort.

“…patients are complaining of too many wristbands. PDC has developed an all-in-one solution that works with any laser or thermal wristband and provides better visibility and security than what’s on the market today,”


VALENCIA, Calif. (PRWEB)

PDC, a global leader of innovative identification and patient safety solutions, announced today it has added Ident-Alert™ Wraps to its extensive patient identification offering for hospitals and healthcare providers. The average inpatient wears three wristbands, which can cause discomfort and interfere with IV access. Ident-Alert™ Wraps allow providers using traditional alert wristbands to reduce patient wristbands by 50% or more by consolidating multiple alerts onto one wristband for improved patient comfort and IV access.

Ident-Alert™ color coded wraps meet the national standardization guidelines that are endorsed by the American Hospital Association (AHA) and provide highly visible, color coded alerts with easy-to-read text. The wraps are compatible with all laser and thermal wristbands and feature a patent-pending wrap-around design and strong tamper-evident adhesive to keep alerts securely in place on patient’s main admit wristband. Alert wraps come on a roll in a compact dispenser box (3” x 3” X 1-1/4”) for easy storage and access and fit neatly on a shelf, desktop, or cart. Ident-Alert Wraps are available in the nationally standardized colors which include: red for “Allergy,” yellow for “Fall Risk,” green for “No Latex,” purple for “DNR,” and pink for “Limb Alert.”

“Many providers who use traditional alert wristbands have been looking for a better way to identify patients with special risks because patients are complaining of too many wristbands. PDC has developed an all-in-one solution that works with any laser or thermal wristband and provides better visibility and security than what’s on the market today,” said Owen Rooney Marketing Manager, Patient Identification for PDC. “Ident-Alert™ Wraps have been welcomed by nursing units and patients because they are more comfortable and don’t get in the way of IV placement.”

Ident-Alert™ Wraps are packaged in boxes of 250 wraps. Convenient pre-printed guides on the wraps help providers align the wraps for easy placements on main admit wristbands. Providers can also customize the wraps to meet their organization’s unique needs by using different colors or printing different text or icons. Ident-Alert™ is manufactured by PDC. For more information about Ident-Alert™ Wraps, please visit http://www.pdchealthcare.com/identalertwraps.

PROPER ROMANCE®, Shadow Mountain Publishing’s series of sweet romance novels now totals 28, including the recently released contemporary romance, Glass Slippers Ever After and Me by Julie Wright, a modern, re-imagined Cinderella story, which was released on October 21, 2019. The romance series features many love stories, that refrain from swearing and steer clear of descriptive sexual content; but for anyone who loves a good Hallmark movie, they’ll enjoy this sweet romance!

In 2012, Shadow Mountain editor, Heidi Gordon knew she had a bestseller in her hands with the first Proper Romance®. “We want to make a statement with the release of Edenbrooke, because it was different from most other books in the romance genre. It was blush-worthy but not a ‘hide the cover’ novel. Our research told us that a sizeable audience of young and older readers was looking for clean romance they could enjoy. Thus was born, the Proper Romance® series.”

Since that time, Shadow Mountain has published with seven authors with even more room to grow. “It’s a growing category for us,” noted Gordon. “We hear from readers and reviewers that the PROPER ROMANCE® books are ‘heart-pounding romances,’ page turners, and must-reads for all romantics.” Many titles have received rave reviews from Publishers Weekly, Foreword Reviews, and Romantic Times, among others, including this starred review from Booklist about Glass Slippers Ever After and Me, “This sweet, heartfelt tale of authentic characters facing intriguing challenges is at once very romantic and charmingly chaste.”

Five other Proper Romance® novels were released earlier in 2019. Two novels published this year by Sarah M. Eden included the Western Romance, Healing Hearts, and a Victorian Romance titled The Lady and the Highwayman. Josi S. Kilpack’s Regency Romance novel, was released in May, titled Daisies and Devotion, and Nancy Campbell Allen’s third Steampunk romance, The Lady in the Coppergate Tower, was released in August. And finally a Historical Romance, by Ilima Todd A Song for the Stars, which is inspired by a true story and set in the Hawaiian Islands, was released in April.
