2020 iaedp™ Symposium Offers Self-Expression through Art Competition

Leave a comment


“The art submissions are as unique as the art competition itself,” says Blanche Williams, MS and Director of International Development at the iaedp™ Foundation. “The artists’ allow outsiders to see inside their emotional selves.”


PEKIN, Ill. (PRWEB)

Studies involving eating disorders have revealed that emotional repression is linked to higher reports of medical challenges. Through a unique art competition sponsored annually by the International Association of Eating Disorders Professionals (iaedp™), artists are given the opportunity of self-expression by pushing the boundaries of form, structure and identity through visual, 3-dimensional and mixed media as well as poetry, spoken word and dance/performance.

The art competition is themed is “Imagine Me Beyond What You See” and held during the annual iaedp™ Symposium. At next year’s conference in Orlando at the Omni at ChampionsGate, March 26-29, the top five art finalists are showcased and the winner is revealed. Entries are currently being accepted through December 15, 2019.

“Imagine Me Beyond What You See” originally was designed to promote a healthy awareness and acceptance of body images. That focus has been nurtured over the 10-year span that the special art competition has been conducted. The art contest is open to everyone; however, iaedp™ asks treatment centers and private practices with art therapists to work with patients to provide entries.

“The art submissions are as unique as the art competition itself,” says Blanche Williams, MS and Director of International Development at the iaedp™ Foundation. “The artists’ allow outsiders to see inside their emotional selves. Each contest entry communicates powerful themes and reveals courageous individuals.”

Entries must include a 300-word description/inspiration along with a two to three sentence biography of the artist or group. A list of materials/content must be provided along with a submission of four photos of the art form in high (300+) resolution jpeg format that shows at least four different angles. Photos will be enlarged, so quality is important. Poetry and/or spoken word should be submitted in writing and/or one to two minute You Tube video link. Dance/performance must be submitted in one to two minute You Tube video link. All entries require signing an artist release.

The Lead Sponsorship for the 2020 “Imagine Me Beyond What You See” is still open for organizations which are interested in helping to support the competition. For more details contact blanche@iaedp.com.

The “Imagine Me Beyond What You See” awards ceremony, scheduled during the 2020 iaedp™ Symposium, will include the Professionals’ Choice Award, which is selected through voting by iaedp™ membership, 2020 Symposium attendees and the general public.

The Best Ways To Obtain Cheaper Auto Insurance Premiums

Leave a comment


News Image

“It is possible to get cheaper car insurance, but there are strict rules to follow,” said Russell Rabichev, Marketing Director of Internet Marketing Company.


LOS ANGELES (PRWEB)

Compare-autoinsurance.org has released a new blog post that presents successful strategies for getting cheap car insurance!

For more info and free car insurance quotes online, visit https://compare-autoinsurance.org/how-to-make-car-insurance-rates-cheaper/

Like any other major investments, auto insurance tends to be expensive. It may cost several thousands of dollars, depending on the insured vehicle and the driving history of the policyholder. Saving even 10% of that value will give policyholders a considerable amount of money. Drivers should use http://compare-autoinsurance.org to get free quotes and compare prices.

Policyholders should try the following strategies for lowering insurance costs:


  • Increase deductibles to a comfortable limit. Collision and comprehensive coverage require deductibles before the insurer handles the claim. A high deductible means more financial responsibility assumed by the policyholder. Insurance companies will lower the costs. However, it is recommended to carefully choose a financially comfortable deductible level.

  • Do not buy medical coverage, unless needed or required by the state. Buying PIP and Medicare car coverage is not crucial if the policyholder has a solid health insurance plan. Just buy the minimum PIP if required by the state.

  • Check for a discount list. Each insurance company has some discounts to offer. Ask an insurance representative to provide a list of available discounts and prerequisites for each of them. The most common discounts include low mileage, safety gear, multi-car insurance, loyalty, and no-claim bonus.

  • Keep the insurer updated with all major life changes. The insurance company may not be aware that some major aspects of the client’s life have changed. Getting married, working from home and retiring are very influential for insurance premiums.

Compare-autoinsurance.org is an online provider of life, home, health, and auto insurance quotes. This website is unique because it does not simply stick to one kind of insurance provider, but brings the clients the best deals from many different online insurance carriers. In this way, clients have access to offers from multiple carriers all in one place: this website. On this site, customers have access to quotes for insurance plans from various agencies, such as local or nationwide agencies, brand names insurance companies, etc.

The keynote address will kick off at 8:30 am with Dr. Jean Watson, who will introduce the theme of this year’s conference: Caring Science – Caritas™ Theory Practice. At 10:30 am, a panel of nurse theorists, Utah health care executives, and esteemed educators will discuss the topic of Caring, which will focus on the importance of a Call-to-Improve caring within health care and technology. Sessions in the afternoon—“Embedding Caritas Processes within a Curriculum to Transform the Learning Experience”—will set the stage for critical discussion and deep introspection aimed at elevating caring behaviors. The conference will conclude at 4:00 pm with closing remarks from Unitek’s leadership team.

“Our conference theme for 2019 brings together educators and lifelong learners to catalyze the concept of caring exchange between teachers and students,” said Dr. Abdel Yosef, Chief Academic Officer at Unitek Learning. “We will discuss strategies in adult education to create a caring environment both inside and outside of the classroom. Additionally, we will focus on principles of effective communication, moral commitment to self and others, and our capacity to improve the learning experience of the student.”

Unitek Learning is the parent company of several distinguished learning institutions: Unitek EMT, Unitek College, Eagle Gate College, and Provo College.

Introspect Technology Extends Test Coverage for the MIPI Alliance C-PHY Standard Through the Introduction of a New Reference Termination Board

Leave a comment


https://www.prweb.com/

CRTB45 MIPI C-PHY Reference Termination Board

C-PHY devices require careful fixturing considerations when being measured, and this is where a reference termination board (RTB) such as the CRTB45 becomes valuable.


TAIPEI, Taiwan (PRWEB)

Introspect Technology, leading manufacturer of test and measurement tools for high-speed digital applications, today released a new MIPI Alliance® C-PHYSM reference termination board that supports version 1.2 and version 2.0 of this high-speed interface standard. The MIPI C-PHY standard is a physical-layer standard that allows for significant bandwidth improvements on constrained transmission channels such as those found inside mobile terminals or battery-operated sensor-intensive augmented reality architectures. Based on innovative signaling and encoding technologies, C-PHY devices require careful fixturing considerations when being measured, and this is where a reference termination board (RTB) such as the CRTB45 becomes valuable. The RTB engages a low-impedance, floating termination load upon the reception of a valid MIPI C-PHY high-speed signal and releases it automatically when the device under test enters low-power mode. These behaviors make the RTB indispensable not only for measuring device transmitters under realistic system-level load conditions, but also for calibrating pattern generator signals used for receiver stressed eye testing and characterization.

The CRTB45 MIPI C-PHY Reference Termination board offers the following key features:

  • Three simultaneous C-PHY trios for parallel testing applications

  • A USB-powered solution for convenient attachment to lab equipment

  • High-resolution digital control over the low-power (LP) signal detection threshold with precise and repeatable performance

  • Visual indicators for monitoring the termination mode under all signaling conditions

  • A simple user interface for selecting between automatic termination and manual termination modes. Both modes are necessary for testing the various operating conditions of MIPI C-PHY signals

  • Signal-integrity optimized traces and termination switches for supporting the highest operating data rates


The CRTB45 MIPI C-PHY Reference Termination Board is available today from Introspect Technology. It can be purchased directly and through any of our authorized distributors worldwide.

About Introspect Technology

Founded in 2012 through self-funding, Introspect Technology designs and manufactures innovative test and measurement equipment for high-speed digital applications. Whether it is the next smartphone or the level-4 autonomy engine in a mobility solution, our award-winning tools are used to develop, test, and manufacture next-generation products. In short, we help the leading global technology companies make tomorrow’s technology today’s possibility.

Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America Explains Potential Halloween Hazards for Kids With Food Allergies

Leave a comment



WASHINGTON (PRWEB)

Halloween is typically a time for kids to let their imaginations run wild and have fun with friends but for kids with severe food allergies, trick-or-treating can be difficult and dangerous. Children may accidentally encounter candy that can trigger an allergic reaction. The Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America (AAFA) is working to ensure there is greater awareness and proper labeling to prevent allergic reactions.

U.S. law requires most food labels to list eight major allergens: milk, soy, egg, peanut, tree nut, wheat, fish, and crustacean shellfish. But it is important to note that this law does not regulate or require advisory labels such as “may contain” or “processed in a facility with.” A study by the FDA confirmed that chocolates have a high risk of containing milk (a common food allergy in children) even if the label doesn’t declare the presence of milk. Another danger for families to navigate is that there are even a few candies that contain different ingredients or advisory labels in their “mini” size, misleading parents and children alike.

“Halloween should be fun for children and families, but for those with food allergies it can quickly turn into a day full of stress and anxiety,” said Kenneth Mendez, AAFA’s CEO and president. “AAFA hopes that all children are able to experience the best Halloween possible and have helpful resources for a safe and inclusive holiday.”

In advance of Halloween this year, Kids With Food Allergies (KFA) – a division of AAFA – has provided an allergy-aware Halloween candy guide as well as label reading tips to help identify safe “regular” and “mini” sized candy options for children allergic to the top eight food allergens. Additionally, be sure to look out for your neighborhood teal pumpkins. Teal is the color of food allergy awareness and teal pumpkins are a sign that those houses are providing non-food treats on Halloween. Items like stickers, bookmarks and other trinkets provide inclusive options for kids on medically-restricted diets.

Not only is AAFA determined to help parents and children find safe options for celebrating Halloween, but the group is working tirelessly with the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to implement additional treatments and labelling. The Foundation has asked the FDA to add sesame seeds to its list of major allergens to require more transparent labeling of this growing allergen. AAFA is also working with other groups and organizations on passing the Food Allergy Safety, Treatment, Education and Research (FASTER) Act, which will require sesame seed labeling. In July, AAFA responded to the Institute for Clinical and Economic Review’s (ICER) Final Evidence Report which assessed the clinical effectiveness and value of treatments for peanut allergies. In September, AAFA presented data about the burden of living with food allergies to the FDA as it reviewed the Palforzia peanut allergy treatment.

About AAFA

Founded in 1953, AAFA is the oldest and largest non-profit patient organization dedicated to saving lives and reducing the burden of disease for people with asthma, allergies and related conditions through research, education, advocacy and support. AAFA provides practical information and community-based services. Through its Kids With Food Allergies division, AAFA offers the most extensive online support community for families raising children with food allergies.

FlexCare Medical Staffing

As a team, we take great pride in partnering with the most dedicated travel nurses, therapists, and allied clinicians in top hospitals around the country.


ROSEVILLE, Calif. (PRWEB)

FlexCare Medical Staffing, a leader in medical staffing services for acute care facilities across the nation, has been honored as the top company in the large employer category for the Sacramento Business Journal’s 2019 Best Places to Work. This is the sixth year in a row that FlexCare has been recognized as one of the Greater Sacramento area’s Best Places to Work and the first time FlexCare was awarded the top spot.

“It’s an honor and extremely humbling that the FlexCare family feels so strongly about what we’ve built together,” said Travis Mannon, FlexCare chief executive officer. “Our team members give their all every day, so we want to cultivate a fulfilling environment that rewards them for their success and encourages them to strive for more. Being challenged to grow and having fun while doing it are not mutually exclusive. We’ve found that they are very much connected and that’s inspiring.”

From its Culture Club and quarterly events where employees come together to celebrate success, to the “FlexCare Loves Me” infant onesies that are a gift to new parents, and the additional day off to give back by volunteering in the community, FlexCare has forged a strong bond with its growing team, something that can be challenging in such a competitive market for talent.

“Elevating our employees’ voices through focused surveys, giving them opportunities and mentoring to succeed, then combining that with our culture of giving back are some of the reasons why our team members feel empowered and dedicated,” said Bill McElyea, vice president of human resources.

The Best Places to Work survey is conducted annually by the Sacramento Business Journal and honors companies that foster a positive work environment. Employees are asked to provide feedback about company benefits, leadership, culture, and work-life balance.

“As a team, we take great pride in partnering with the most dedicated travel nurses, therapists, and allied clinicians in top hospitals around the country,” said Mannon. “They are some of the nation’s most talented clinicians who positively impact the lives of thousands of patients every day. They approach each day as a gift and it’s awesome to be part of that.”

Marine License Insurance Provided by 360 Coverage Pros

Using our online technology, professionals in the marine industry can now easily select their coverage, complete an application and have proof of insurance in literally minutes.


LAKEWOOD RANCH, Fla. (PRWEB)

360 Coverage Pros announced the launch of a new Marine License Insurance Program for mariners that offers an entirely online buying experience combined with low monthly payment options and instant proof of coverage.

Until now, the process of securing a marine license insurance policy involved requesting quotes, filling out lengthy applications and waiting days to receive a premium proposal before finally binding coverage.

With the new Marine License Insurance Program from 360 Coverage Pros, United States Coast Guard licensed mariners can put affordable, “A+” rated coverage in place in minutes, not days, allowing them to focus on what matters most–piloting their career. “Before I entered the marine insurance industry, I myself was a licensed mariner and continue to maintain my license today,” says Brian Murphy, Senior Vice President and Head of Marine at Berkley Offshore Underwriting Managers. “In today’s increasingly litigious society, I see this product as an important tool for mariners to protect their livelihood and careers.”

“For a long time, the insurance solutions available to professional mariners have been limited,” says Jason Rogers, head of Business Development for 360 Coverage Pros. “The challenge mariners have faced in the past is the time-consuming process of searching for the best coverage and price only to struggle with a cumbersome quoting and application process. Using our online technology, professionals in the marine industry can now easily select their coverage, complete an application and have proof of insurance in literally minutes. Additionally, vessel operators, either directly or through their insurance broker, can place coverage on a group basis for their licensed officers, often at discounted rates.”

The program offers mariners up to $2 million in protection with premiums starting as low as $25.83 per month with a down payment of $65.87.

Coverage options are available for:

  • Blue Water Officers

  • Brown Water Officers

  • Great Lakes Officers

  • Passenger Vessel Officers

Coverage is also available for deck department and engine department professionals for the following license grades:
