OLIGOFORCE ADVANCED Wrinkle and Dark Spot Correction Moisturizing Serum with OLIGOMER®

OLIGOFORCE ADVANCED combats skin disorders of the 21st century including wrinkles caused by accelerated free radical formation, inflammation, pre-mature aging and hyperpigmentation.

This next-generation daily treatment combines the comfort of an oil and the effectiveness of a serum. Its micro-emulsion texture concentrates powerful marine actives that, thanks to the formulation expertise taken from the pharmaceutical world, can be absorbed quickly and deeply into the skin.

Within this OLIGOFORCE formula lies a historic active ingredient emblematic of Phytomer: OLIGOMER®. This seawater concentrate helps to jumpstart skin functions because it contains all naturally occurring trace elements and minerals to improve the skin’s respiration. OLIGOFORCE ADVANCED combats skin disorders of the 21st century including wrinkles caused by accelerated free radical formation, inflammation, pre-mature aging and hyperpigmentation.

Eternal Marine is an extract from an ancient blue microalgae that has survived because of its ability to adapt and thrive in extreme living conditions. This algae has an advanced defense system, namely the ability to produce a powerful anti-oxidant molecule that is also found in the skin, Thioredoxin. When Eternal Marine is applied to the skin it significantly activates the skin’s natural production of Thioredoxin which provides comprehensive protective and reparative properties for many cells and functions in the skin. In addition to its anti-oxidant effects, Eternal Marine smooths wrinkles by preserving the integrity and accelerating the production of collagen and elastin, by improving the supply of vitamin C to the skin and increasing the number of collagen producing cells in the skin. Eternal Marine also offers complete protection from inflammation which reduces hyperpigmentation in the skin for an even, illuminated complexion.

Directions for use: Massage a few drops into the skin alone or before moisturizers and masks, carefully avoiding the eye contour area.

Key ingredients:


  • Oligomer – this signature seawater concentrate contains all the active compounds of seawater to replenish cells with trace elements and minerals to recharge them with energy and jumpstart healthy cell function.
  • Eternal Marine – Blue micro-algae extract that contains the powerful anti-oxidant Thioredoxin, which is also naturally produced by the skin. The application of Eternal Marine activates the skin’s production of Thioredoxin which initiates repair and regeneration in the dermis for a wrinkle smoothing effect. Its anti-oxidant activity neutralizes inflammation which, in turn, reduces inflammation for an even, illuminated complexion.

Clinical Results:

RADIANT, HEALTHIER SKIN: for over 8 out of 10 women.

CONTINUOUS HYDRATION:(1)

In 1 hour: +72%*

In 3 hours: +54%*

In 6 hours: +37%*

State of Washington Wins NASCIO Award for Track-Kit Sexual Assault Kit Tracking System


News Image

The State of Washington received a NASCIO award for implementing STACS DNA’s Track-Kit to track the location and status of every sexual assault kit across the state.

For its implementation of the Track-Kit Sexual Assault Kit System from STACS DNA, the State of Washington received a 2019 State IT Recognition Award from the National Association of State Chief Information Officers (NASCIO). Washington State Patrol (WSP), STACS DNA’s client, won the State CIO Office Special Recognition Award from over 130 submissions.

As described in WSP’s submission, “Prior to this legislation, survivors had no way of knowing the location or status of their kit. The Tracking System provides start-to-finish SAK inventory tracking to deliver accountability, transparency and information sharing among all stakeholders, and most importantly provide the survivor with peace of mind. Through the extended use of this system, it will create more efficiency and accountability in SAK evidence workflows, thereby preventing the accumulation of un-submitted kits.”

STACS DNA played a significant role in developing and delivering statewide training, as described in the proposal. Live web-based training proves cost-effective, timely, and reduces the number of trainers needed. The company also provides online training resources, assistance and curriculum to end users, which are continuously updated using lessons learned during deployment. FAQs, self-paced videos and full user documentation are accessible within Track-Kit. The proposal also outlines the legislation, stakeholders, implementation process and impact of the system.

WSP has become a national pioneer in regards to its SAK Tracking System Program as many states have used Washington’s model for their own SAK tracking programs. Globally, the program has received worldwide recognition following presentations at several international meetings.

According to NASCIO Awards Committee co-chairs, Denis Goulet, Commissioner for the State of New Hampshire, and Nelson Moe, Chief Information Officer for the Commonwealth of Virginia, “The recipients and submissions for this year’s awards are prime examples of how state IT can transform and improve the lives of the citizens we serve. We are proud to recognize them with this high honor.”

ABOUT STACS DNA

Senior Market Sales Provides Agents With Solutions to Medicare Plan Finder Problems at Start of Busy Open Enrollment Season

Senior market agents faced unprecedented challenges at the start of this AEP because of the unexpected Plan Finder changes. But our agents were still able to hit the ground running.

When an intended upgrade to Medicare’s Plan Finder website left insurance agents across the country scrambling at the start of their busiest season, Senior Market Sales® (SMS) quickly provided a solution with two important enhancements to its Lead Advantage Pro® platform.

“The controversy over Medicare.gov’s quoting tools demonstrates the critical role that technology plays for agents, especially with a commoditized product like Medicare insurance where volume matters,” said Dwane McFerrin, Vice President of Medicare Solutions at SMS. “Agents who figure out how to leverage tools to create efficiencies, strengthen their process, and make better recommendations will win.”

Agents are flocking to SMS’ technology solutions in numbers the company has never seen before, McFerrin said. And the industry is taking note. SMS made industry news for its ability to provide a quick solution to the controversial changes.

While consumers and agents welcomed the long-overdue redesign of Medicare.gov’s Plan Finder, both protested some of the changes when the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) announced details just weeks before the start of Medicare’s Annual Election Period (AEP), which is Oct. 15 through Dec. 7. Agents who for years had relied on the Plan Finder were suddenly left with no way to access drug lists for their clients.

With just days to find a solution for agents, SMS was the first insurance marketing organization to integrate data from Medicare’s Blue Button 2.0 into its own technology. Blue Button 2.0 is a new feature that allows consumers to select who may access their Medicare information to help them find a plan. SMS innovated to integrate that data — including clients’ prescription drugs, provider(s) and pharmacy information — into Lead Advantage Pro. The integration allows agents to save time while running the most accurate quotes possible, largely by eliminating the need to re-enter prescription drugs for each client. While CMS did restore accessibility to drug lists for this open enrollment only, SMS’ quick action provided an immediate fix as well as a permanent solution for agents.

Also this AEP, SMS expanded Lead Advantage Pro’s quoting capabilities from only SMS carriers to all Part D Prescription Drug plan carriers, providing agents a superior quoting alternative. While thousands of agents have relied on the SMS tool for years, this enhancement elevates its real-world usefulness even more. Lead Advantage Pro now allows agents to manage leads, run multi-carrier quotes and facilitate quick online enrollments all in one platform.

“During AEP, every minute counts,” McFerrin said. “Senior market agents faced unprecedented challenges at the start of this AEP because of the unexpected Plan Finder changes. But our agents were still able to hit the ground running.”

SMS’ ability to anticipate and adapt quickly to changing forces in the insurance industry has made it a leader in the senior market, providing technology that supports agents in the field. In addition to being first to roll out Blue Button 2.0 integration, SMS was first to introduce technology that:

  •     Eliminated agents’ manual entry of drugs in drug lookup tools
  •     Allowed agents to enroll clients in Medicare by iPad
  •     Queried multiple carrier provider directories
  •     Provided a fillable PDF on carrier applications
  •     Enabled an electronic Scope of Appointment process

“Our mission at SMS is to help insurance and financial planning professionals leverage time, make more money and put their business in a position of distinction,” McFerrin said. “Today and in the coming years, that means our technology must deliver real-world solutions that make a difference in the lives of our agents and in the lives of their clients.”

Patrick Kennedy Added to Impressive List of Presenters at National Recovery Conference


https://www.prweb.com/

Patrick Kennedy and CCAR Executive Director, Phil Valentine

“This is a pivotal moment for the Recovery Movement – worldwide. Awareness is growing and people are flocking to the message of hope that Recovery provides. CCAR is honored to be in a position to bring together such a diverse group of leaders and people in Recovery.”

The Connecticut Community for Addiction Recovery (CCAR) is a non-profit that was founded in 1998. Since then, the organization has grown into an international presence in the Recovery Movement. Though CCAR has held their National Conference for four years, the present state of the opioid crisis conveys another level of importance to this diverse gathering of leaders and people in Recovery.

The Conference, held in Punta Gorda, Florida, draws attendees from all over the world – many of whom work in the Recovery field, are in Recovery, or are allies of the Recovery Movement. Some attendees may just be curious about Recovery, others may attend to simply hear the moving speeches or participate in the outdoor events. No matter how one approaches the conference, the scope of experience and expertise represented not only in conference presenters, but in attendees as well, is humbling.

In addition to keynote speeches and appearances from Patrick Kennedy, William White, Don Coyhis, Haner Hernández, Mark Lundholm, Shannon Egan, Ryan Hampton and many others – conference participants will be able to attend a variety of diverse workshops and panels facilitated by experts. Focus will be on the Multiple Pathways of Recovery, Self Care, Recovery Advocacy, and Recovery Coaching. These workshops can include anything from practicing Yoga as a pathway of Recovery to a panel on Medication Assisted Treatment.

The conference kicks off on November 13, 2019, is a 3-day affair, and costs $250 to attend. Participants are able to chart their own path during the conference, with the ability to pick from a variety of different workshops, speeches, or activities at any given time. Space is limited and the event is expected to sell out. Those interested in learning more or registering for the event can visit The Conference Website

At a time where communities are searching for solutions to the substance crisis gripping our nation, this event is a place where some answers could be found.

Wanda Peterkin’s new book “God in Eve” details how women must transform their thinking and give their life to God to receive the full rewards of his kingdom.


News Image

Wanda Peterkin has completed her new book “God in Eve”: a spiritual awakening directed to women to become closer to God.

According to Peterkin, “Visiting, working, or leisure time at any public or private conference can lead to the observation of women from all walks of faith. Each dealing with everyday issues of life. The first trait you will notice is their smile. Next is their characteristics. They are a dynasty of peculiar women connected to one—God.”

Published by New York City-based Page Publishing, Wanda Peterkin’s inspiring work describes how the ornament was first existing in Eve. Eve left the legacy to all women.

Their attributes are all the same. Those attributes are the fruit of the spirit. Their outside beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Their inner beauty is adorned with the ornament of God’s light. They are blessed. They are more valuable than rubies. They are anointed with the power of God to handle all trials and tribulations that their life journey retained them in. Women are born with this ornament; however, for it to be enhanced, she must transform her thinking and give her life to God to receive the full rewards of his kingdom. Read how these attributes are obtained.

Readers who wish to experience this inspirational work can purchase “God in Eve” at bookstores everywhere, or online at the Apple iTunes store, Amazon, Google Play or Barnes and Noble.

Virtual Reality (VR) May Provide More Effective Approach to Teaching Children with Dyslexia


According to recent studies, one of the biggest strengths of augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) is their ability to give students real world immersive experiences that could make learning both more memorable and more meaningful. But can virtual reality improve a dyslexic child’s reading experience?

Based on case studies from numerous users and extensive classroom sessions both instructing children and observing their experiences of learning through VR, the principals of the Lyfta digital platform have concluded that education content presented in a Virtual Reality format is more intuitive and memorable for learners.

In a new interview with C.M. Rubin, Founder of CMRubinWorld, Educators Serdar Ferit and Katri Meriläinen report that teachers found “children are able to construct factual connections above their normal level when learning about phenomena in a contextualised environment.” Lyfta is conducting academic research in collaboration with two Finnish universities to understand the full potential of VR for dyslexic children. “The preliminary results show that a purposefully designed VR environment can significantly improve dyslexic children’s reading experience.”

EduCare Announces NEW Recurrent and Metastatic Breast Cancer Treatment Handbook


For years, recurrent and metastatic breast cancer patients have often felt overlooked. Metastatic breast cancer patients live each day with an incurable disease and must face ongoing treatment regimens as well as intense physical, psychological and emotional issues. Author, Judy C. Kneece, RN, OCN, is excited to release the new Recurrent and Metastatic Breast Cancer Treatment Handbook. She wrote this book to not only educate women about treatments for recurrent and metastatic breast cancer, but just as importantly, she writes about the personal side – the fears, the sorrows, the pain and the choices a woman faces after hearing her diagnosis.

Judy C. Kneece, RN, OCN, states, “This book is about helping you, a recurrent or metastatic patient, take charge of decisions about your life. It offers no guarantees, but it does promise you can live your life fully while dealing with recurrent/metastatic breast cancer if you decide to. You choose what actions you will take – you can make no mistakes. In this area, you are the expert.” Her goal is to provide a woman the tools she needs to live her life to the fullest, while fighting this battle.

Based on the premise that well-informed patients make the best patients, the Recurrent and Metastatic Breast Cancer Treatment Handbook covers cancer treatment (types of recurrence, treatment decisions, second opinions, surgical options, reconstruction options, treatment medications and radiation therapy), emotional issues (facing anxiety and depression, helping children cope, communicating with the healthcare team, creating a support team, facing death) and ongoing treatment issues (pain management, insurance, diet and exercise, sexuality problems). The book also has a comprehensive appendix that explains diagnostic tests, chemotherapy drugs and clinical trials.

In her review of the book, Beth Baughman DuPree, MD, FACS, ABOIM wrote, “This handbook will help you navigate the medical, emotional and spiritual challenges you are about to face. Metastatic breast cancer is a ‘chronic disease’ and there is no way to know what path your cancer journey will follow. Releasing fear and finding peace allows each moment of your life to be savored and appreciated. This is an invaluable guide for every woman facing a metastatic breast cancer diagnosis.”

EduCare Inc., a dedicated breast health education company, was founded in January 1994 by Judy C. Kneece, RN, OCN. For more than 25 years, EduCare has been a leader in providing the highest quality breast health educational materials for patients and healthcare providers and in offering continuing training to healthcare professionals.

The Recurrent and Metastatic Breast Cancer Treatment Handbook may be purchased directly through EduCare at http://www.EduCareInc.com or by phone at 843.760.6064. It is also available on Amazon.
