AIM to Participate at CTEA Electronics Design & Manufacturing Tech Forum & Expo


News Image

AIM Solder, a leading global manufacturer of solder assembly materials for the electronics industry, is pleased to announce their participation in the upcoming Central Texas Electronics Association (CTEA) Electronics Design & Manufacturing Tech Forum & Expo taking place on October 15, 2019 at the Norris Conference Center, Austin, TX. AIM Solder will highlight its REL electronic solders and its new RX18 and CX18 cored solder wire.

REL22™ is an award-winning, high reliability alloy developed to address reliability and production quality issues common to similar multi-element alloys. Both internal and customer testing has proven that REL22 improves product survival in extreme thermal exposure operating environments such as under-hood automotive, avionics/aerospace and LED lighting. REL61™ is ideally suited for industries which require a cost effective alternative to SAC305 with no loss of processing performance or durability. REL61 provides significant advantages over other no-low silver alloys by offering better flow characteristics at lower temperatures, thus reducing PCB damage and assembly costs.

AIM will also feature its new cored wire solders, RX18 and CX18. The award-winning RX18 is engineered for automated soldering and promotes thermal transfer, fast wetting and reduces voids/skips. With an operator friendly, low odor/smoke formula, CX18 extends the solder tip life and leaves clear, minimal residues.

World Alzheimer’s Month Addresses Stigma Associated with Alzheimer’s and Dementia


A new report released by Alzheimer’s Disease International (ADI) found someone in the world develops dementia every three seconds, with more than 50 million people living with dementia globally. Despite the prevalence of Alzheimer’s and dementia in our society, those affected frequently find themselves tainted by the stigmas associated with the disease.

According to research conducted by ADI, 43% of survey respondents living with dementia report being avoided or shunned by those around them, while 57% of survey respondents feel they are treated unfairly and have difficulty making or keeping friends. Two-thirds of respondents also said others even joked about their dementia symptoms.

“Social isolation and loneliness is common among those living with Alzheimer’s or dementia. But surprisingly, most of the time it is the stigma, and not the symptoms of the disease, that leads others to distance themselves from those living with the diagnosis,” said Lakelyn Hogan, Gerontologist and Caregiver Advocate at Home Instead Senior Care. “When we all make a concerted effort to eliminate the stigma associated with these diseases, we can drastically improve the quality of life for those affected.”

The negative impact of the stigma associated with Alzheimer’s and other dementias is not just limited to the more than 50 million people across the globe living with the disease, but it also extends to those providing care, particularly their loved ones. Home Instead recommends exploring at least one of the following ways to help make the world a more dementia-friendly place:


  • Define the stigma. The first step to eliminating a stigma is identifying our own belief and revising it. Find ways to shift personal perspectives about those living with Alzheimer’s and dementia. Reach out to a friend or family member to show your support. For more information, review common attitudes toward dementia at http://www.alz.co.uk/research/world-report-2019.
  • Educate yourself. Whether a family member, professional caregiver or compassionate person looking to make a difference, we all have something to learn when it comes to understanding the role Alzheimer’s and dementia can play in the lives of older adults. Visit http://www.HelpForAlzheimersFamilies.com to participate in free e-learning courses and interactive webinars.
  • Choose to include, not exclude. Identify areas where you can advocate for change by accommodating the needs of someone with Alzheimer’s or dementia. If you don’t know anyone living with the disease personally, you can find a local senior-serving organization to volunteer with on http://www.imreadytocare.com.
  • Become an Alzheimer’s Friendly Business. If you are a business owner, consider participating in a free, 30-minute Alzheimer’s Friendly Business online training, offered by Home Instead Senior Care, to help reduce common misconceptions and encourage positive experiences for all.

While we all may not experience Alzheimer’s and dementia in our lives, we do have the ability to create a world where those impacted can feel more accepted and understood. Visit http://www.helpforalzheimersfamilies.com for more resources to better understand the role you could play in breaking down stigmas and building a dementia-friendly community.

AtlanticProCare to host Open Enrollment Open House for Amputee Patients


When Open Enrollment for health insurance season rolls around, people everywhere scramble to sort through the options and choose the plan that matches their needs. This is never an easy or straightforward task, as the differences between plans can be complex and confusing.

And for amputees, who often have very specific care needs and financial considerations that directly impact that care, it can be even more challenging.

That’s why this year, AtlanticProCare, New England’s leading provider of customized mobility solutions for amputees, is taking the lead in helping amputee patients navigate complex insurance coverage issues at an Open Enrollment Open House on Monday, October 7.

“This Open House grew out of the last few years, when we’ve seen more and more patients coming to us asking for help. And we’re fortunate to have quite a bit of expertise on staff when it comes to the nuances of specific health insurance coverage plans and how they relate to the needs of amputee patients,” said JP Donovan, President and CEO of AtlanticProCare. “It just made sense for us to get everybody who’s interested together in one room at one time and help them sort through their questions.”

Attendees will have the opportunity to hear from AtlanticProCare insurance experts and to ask questions and receive support and advice based on their specific plans of care and needs.

The Open House runs from 1:00 PM to 6:00 PM on October 7. Complimentary food and beverages will be provided and transportation assistance is available for those who need it. Those interested in attending can call 774-1002 or email care@atlanticprocare.com for more information or to reserve a spot.

Educational Psychologist Releases Comprehensive Guide to Dream Imagery and Analysis


News Image

“…Think of this book as an art class that will expose you to techniques and ideas that will help you to explore this expression of yourself.”

In his experience working with patients, R.J. Cole, MS, LEP, has found that repetitive images and patterns in dreams often give insight into the emotions, behaviors and problems afflicting them during waking life.

In “Morpheus Speaks: The Encyclopedia of Dream Interpreting,” Cole explains how to unpack these messages from the unconscious mind and utilize their meaning to make necessary, life-improving changes.

“Morpheus Speaks” is a starting point for readers interested in diving deeper into their inner psyches and devoting the time and energy to better understanding their emotional and spiritual sides. Compiling 5,000 commonly shared dream images, archetypes and nightmares, Cole provides brief etiologies and observations of their implications.

He also offers techniques and strategies for readers to relate the images to the context of their lives and connect with their higher selves.

“Fundamentally, there are no hard-and-fast answers to the question ‘What does my dream mean?’” said Cole. “As with any art or expression of the self, it takes practice to perfect and set free. You may, then, want to think of this book as an art class that will expose you to techniques and ideas that will help you to explore this expression of yourself.”

A thought-provoking compendium on dream images and decoding tactics, “Morpheus Speaks” is designed to help readers discover their deepest truths and achieve greater self-awareness.

Linked Senior and Pioneer Network Announce “EngageAThon” during Residents’ Rights Month to Support Campaign to Remove Physical Restraints from Amazon.com


According to the Alzheimer’s Association, an estimated 5.6 million Americans over the age of 65 are living with Alzheimer’s dementia today. Time and time again, research has found that older adults living with Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias are restrained either by chemical or physical restraints in order to address what are deemed negative or unwanted actions or “behaviors.” A Human Rights Watch report, released in February 2018, found that approximately 179,000 people living in U.S. nursing facilities are being given antipsychotic medications even though they don’t have approved psychiatric diagnoses. Research also shows that the effective way to address such issues is actually through an individualized, person-centered approach to care.

This is why Linked Senior and Pioneer Network decided to create a social media awareness campaign that brings attention to the use of restraints in home-based and residential settings. This campaign will educate the public about the negative outcomes and consequences of the use of restraints. The campaign will also provide access to other techniques, practices and resources that family members can use.

Linked Senior is challenging its clients and partners with a simple and fun “EngageAThon” contest: the more they use its evidence based platform during the month of October, the more Linked Senior will donate to Pioneer Network to support their effort to remove physical restraints currently being sold on Amazon.com. By the end of October, the Linked Senior community who has logged the most minutes of engagement on the Linked Senior platform will be recognized as the winner and receive Old People are Cool swag for their team. If you are interested in joining this effort please contact Linked Senior directly.

Pioneer Network, which was established in 1997, has worked with many other organizations over the years to not only decrease but also discontinue the practice of using both physical and chemical restraints in nursing homes. Carter Catlett Williams, one of Pioneer Network’s founders, was a social worker in Rochester, NY in the 1970’s and worked to eliminate the use of physical and chemical restraints in nursing homes. She was a leader in the restraint free movement. The Pioneer Network’s vision of A Culture of Aging that is Life-Affirming, Satisfying, Humane and Meaningful is closely aligned with the mission of Linked Senior.

“Pioneer Network has promoted and educated about individualized, person-centered care since its inception, ensuring that care and support is life-affirming and humane. We do not believe that the use of restraints in a person’s home supports this goal and we want to provide alternatives to caregivers, so they know there are other options. I’m very appreciative to Linked Senior for their contribution to this effort,” said Penny Cook, President and CEO at Pioneer Network.

Echoing this sentiment, Linked Senior CEO & Co-founder Charles de Vilmorin shared, “We believe in a world where the older adult is valued and respected – and where their experience is person-centered. Addressing their need with the opportunity to fulfill purpose is our duty, this is why we’re happy to spearhead an effort to not only remove physical restraints from Amazon.com for people living with dementia, but also support the formal and informal caregivers to help them provide the most purposeful experience.”

Linked Senior is an evidence-based resident engagement platform for senior living. The platform optimizes the person-centered experience for residents by empowering staff with digital tools to assess, plan, implement and evaluate engagement for the entire resident population.

Pioneer Network was founded in 1997 by a small group of prominent professionals in long-term care who were pioneers in changing the culture of aging, care and support. Today, Pioneer Network is the umbrella organization for the culture change movement, providing education and advocacy for person-centered care in all settings. If you are interested in getting involved in this initiative, you can do so by emailing Penny Cook at info@pioneernetwork.net.

Top Reasons Why Drivers Should Purchase Personal Injury Protection Car Insurance


News Image

“Considering the high medical costs, Personal Injury Protection is a must-have policy for any driver. It will provide you and your passengers with sufficient money to get the proper treatment”, said Russell Rabichev, Marketing Director of Internet Marketing Company.

Carinsurancehints.com has released a new blog post that explains why drivers should buy PIP car insurance.

For more info and free quotes, visit https://www.carinsurancehints.com/why-should-anyone-buy-pip-auto-insurance/

Being involved in an accident is the worst thing it can happen to a driver. Recovering from injuries and trauma does not mean that the nightmare ends here. Medical bills, lost wages, car repair bills, and other expenses can quickly pile up and dent a driver’s finances. PIP insurance will help drivers to pay such costs. Visit http://www.carinsurancehints.com and get free car insurance quotes.


  • Personal Injury Protection (PIP) is “no-fault” coverage. This means that the insurance company will pay for costs, no matter who caused the accident. The policyholder does not have to wait until the fault is determined in order to be reimbursed. This is crucial for persons who urgently need money.
  • Personal injury protection provides support for numerous types of bills. PIP coverage can include medical expenses, lost income, but also long-term medical care, childcare costs, and funeral expenses. It also covers rehabilitation costs and alternative treatment costs, like acupuncture. Drivers should talk with the insurance company and consult local legislation in matters of alternative medicine treatments.
  • PIP covers not only the policyholder but also his passengers. PIP coverage extends to any passenger who was in the policyholder’s car at the moment of the accident. This means that they will have their medical costs covered.

San Diego’s Menas Realty Company Achieves ACMC Designation


Julie Menas understands the importance of California education in today’s competitive marketplace

San Diego based management company, Menas Realty Company, ACMC, has achieved California Association of Community Managers’ (CACM) highest designation available for California community management companies–Accredited Community Management Company (ACMC). Accreditation as an ACMC demonstrates that a management company adheres to the highest state-specific standards for professional business practices when managing associations.

ACMC management companies meet strict risk management, education and insurance requirements which include:

  • Adhering to accounting standards for risk management practices and internal financial controls.
  • Submitting to and passing an independent CPA review that demonstrates compliance with best practices.
  • Ensuring community managers on staff obtain and maintain the Certified Community Association Managers (CCAM) or the Certified Association Financial Manager (CAFM) certification.

In addition, the ACMC designation must be renewed every five years.

Menas Realty Company, ACMC is proud to serve 150 different communities throughout San Diego and Temecula. The company was founded in 1973 and today is led by Julie Menas who serves as President and CEO. Menas currently has 13 managers holding CACM’s Certified Community Association Manager (CCAM) designation, while the remaining five managers on staff are actively working to complete the state-specific CCAM designation.

Menas Realty Company encourages its managers to go through education and certification by CACM and contributes to the cost of the programs. Company managers are encouraged to attend legal seminars and events that offer an educational benefit, providing employees who have a long tenure with the company the ability to be fully reimbursed for these important educational opportunities.

“Expanding their knowledge and education makes them more valuable to the clients we serve and the company,” said Julie Menas. “Homeowners don’t just want a body in front of them. They want an experienced professional giving them good advice. Having an ACMC certification shows clients we’re a reputable company and that we’re an ethical company with integrity. It shows we can be trusted.”

“Julie Menas understands the importance of California education in today’s competitive marketplace,” said Judy Levinsohn, Director of Education & Credentialing for CACM. “We commend her for taking a leadership role in ensuring that her staff are up to date on the latest laws and issues around California CIDs. Her business is growing rapidly in San Diego and there’s no doubt that encouraging professional development at her company has a lot to do with that trend. We congratulate her and her staff on achieving ACMC.”

Anti-Aging Skincare Company’s 12-Week Clinical Study to be Published in Prestigious Medical Journal


Nourishing Biologicals: a skincare line where science meets beauty

Study Conclusion — Use of the test products produced significant improvements in skin hydration, TEWL, firmness and skin elasticity with corresponding improvement in facial skin appearance.

This recent article acceptance is noteworthy because it is uncommon for a skincare company to submit an article regarding its product based on scientific efficacy, innovative technology or novel formulation to a medical journal since the objectively measured results must support its conclusions.

Nourishing Biologicals, a science-based, anti-aging skincare company, is proud to announce the acceptance of its article for publication in the prestigious Journal of Clinical and Aesthetic Dermatology, a peer-reviewed journal.

The article “Safety and Efficacy of a Novel Anti-aging Skin Care Regimen containing Nutraceuticals and Growth Factors on Facial Skin of Women: A 12-Week Open Label Study” reports the amazing results of an independent, third-party lab’s 12-week clinical study using L’Unique Miracular Facial Serum and L’Unique Skin Essence products produced by Nourishing Biologicals.

“We are delighted to have the Journal of Clinical and Aesthetic Dermatology publish the impressive results of our clinical study of Nourishing Biologicals products on the facial skin of women.”, said Dr. George Sadowski M.D., founder of Nourishing Biologicals.

The Journal of Clinical and Aesthetic Dermatology (JCAD) delivers “the latest research, comprehensive reviews, didactic case reports, and provocative commentaries on contemporary topics written by key opinion leaders” to over 14,000 practicing dermatologists.

This recent article acceptance is noteworthy because it is uncommon for a skincare company to submit an article regarding its product based on scientific efficacy, innovative technology or novel formulation to a medical journal since the objectively measured results must support its conclusions. Additionally, the article acceptance process is quite stringent. Article submission must be in accordance with the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE). Article submissions undergo peer review to ensure that the material is accurate, clinically relevant and presented without bias.

The objective of the clinical study was to assess the effectiveness of two sophisticated topical formulations — L’Unique Miracular Facial Serum and L’Unique Skin Essence (Nourishing Biologicals LLC St. Augustine, Fl) on hydration, firmness, elasticity, wrinkling and pore size of facial skin after initial application, then after four, eight and twelve weeks of use.

After Nourishing Biologicals conducted independent, twelve-week medical trials, each patient saw positive results, providing exciting data from the clinical trial that is supportive of this innovative approach for treating an individual’s unique skincare needs at the cellular level using growth factors via Miracular Cellular Communication™.

In short, Miracular Cellular Communication™ is how the skin aids in repair or resists damage. Miracular Cellular Communication™ refers to the continuous signaling within and between the cells through chemical messengers and cellular receptors. This process occurs with normal metabolism but is accentuated with any damaging event such as exposure to toxins, sunlight, and pollution. The signaling mobilizes cells as well as other molecules, turns on genes and in some cases, turns off injurious inflammatory genes and pathways.

“Our products bring scientifically proven ingredients in a sophisticated, one-of-a-kind formulation that produces sensational results in regard to skin firmness, hydration, and disappearance of wrinkles and age spots. The products treat the cause of aging, not the symptom,” continued Dr. Sadowski.

The conclusion of the study was as follows: use of the test products produced significant improvements in skin hydration, trans-epidermal water loss (TEWL), firmness and skin elasticity with corresponding improvement in facial skin appearance. Progressive subject perceptions of product benefits were found to be remarkable.

Hospital Angelina Caron extends the hospital coverage of Clinerion’s Patient Network Explorer platform in Brazil.


Hospital Angelina Caron, of Campina Grande do Sul, Paraná, is the latest Brazilian hospital to join Clinerion’s network of partner hospitals on its Patient Network Explorer platform. Hospital Angelina Caron has nearly one million patients and specializes in cardiology, ophthalmology, pediatrics and neonatology, gynecology and obstetrics, orthopedics, transplants, obesity and digestive system, oncology, neurology, cardiology, nephrology, vascular and endovascular surgery. The hospital has run 10 international trials per year for the past 5 years.

Clinerion’s Patient Network Explorer accelerates drug development, bringing innovative drugs earlier to patients. It helps partner hospitals be visible to pharmaceutical companies seeking suitable patients and sites for their clinical trials. Leveraging patient medical data, queries based on trial protocols may be sent to partner hospitals to assess the count of eligible patients in their electronic health records. All patient data is de-identified and remains under the control of the hospital and inside its IT infrastructure. However, Clinerion’s patented technology also enables authorized trial staff at the hospital to re-identify the patient for the purpose of trial recruitment, while maintaining strict personal data privacy standards.

“With the Clinerion database system, there will be a great progress in research at our center, facilitating patient selection and increasing our effectiveness. Today, a database and facilitating access to information are fundamental to the evolution of research”, says Dalton B. Precoma (M.D; Ph.D), cardiologist of Hospital Angelina Caron.

“We are so pleased that our patient coverage in Brazil is expanding by leaps and bounds,” says Ian Rentsch, CEO of Clinerion. “It shows that the benefits of visibility to pharmaceutical trial sponsors that we offer to hospitals running international clinical trials are well understood and accepted.”

About Clinerion

Clinerion accelerates clinical research and medical access to treatments for patients. We use proprietary technologies for analysis of patient data from our global network of partner hospitals. Clinerion’s Patient Network Explorer radically improves the efficiency and effectiveness of clinical trial recruitment by offering data-driven protocol optimization, site feasibility evaluation and real-time patient search and identification to match patients to treatments. Our technology solution provides real-world evidence analytics for medical access. Clinerion facilitates the participation of partner hospitals in leading-edge, industry-sponsored trials and time savings in patient recruitment. We create innovative and disruptive fit-for-purpose solutions which enable pharmaceutical companies to shorten patient recruitment and save costs by streamlining operations and leveraging strategic intelligence.
