The Cremation Center of Birmingham on How Covid-19 Has Changed How We Will Handle Death

Leave a comment



BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (PRWEB)

Kelly Johnson, owner of the Cremation Center of Birmingham and funeral director with more than 25 years funeral home experience, sheds light on what changes people will see in dealing with the death of a loved one, during the event of a national emergency.

     No one thought the United States of America would see the day when we would see mass graves off the State of New York and funeral homes overrun with deceased family members. How could it be that a mass burial would be acceptable in the U.S.?

     Death is inevitable, it comes to us all. But somehow in our thinking, we believe that working on plans for our death may bring death upon us sooner. Do we believe that having health insurance will bring on illness? LIfe insurance, while it is very important to the financial stability of your family, is not quite the answer either.

     At the Cremation Center of Birmingham, in Alabama, it is not uncommon to see families who are not prepared to cover the cost of a $950 basic cremation. They have not saved, even when they knew a death was imminent in their family. When a national emergency causes unexpected deaths, the situation is much worse.

     What could you expect in a situation where a national emergency caused hundreds or thousands of unexpected fatalities. First, funeral homes will become pickier about what families they will help. The deceased’s relative can and should expect to be queried about how they will pay for their funeral or cremation arrangements up to and including requiring payment before the remains will be picked up from the place of death.

     Another reasonable possibility, is that funeral homes will stop taking life insurance assignments. A life insurance assignment is a “promise to pay” by a life insurance company, to a funeral home or cremation center, when there has been time to process a claim on a life insurance policy. Even in the best of times, processing a life insurance claim can be a long process, taking from weeks and sometimes months for the benefits “pay out.” In the event of a national crisis, that time will triple and most funeral homes and cremation centers will not wait the time it takes to receive the payment from an insurance company. The family will be asked for payment up front or the family will be denied services.

     Pre-payment to a funeral home can be risky. While many states have enacted laws to protect consumers from unscrupulous funeral establishments, people will find ways around and break the laws, to embezzle money from the families they have promised to protect. Some funeral establishments, like the Cremation Center of Birmingham, in Alabama, suggest Pre-Planning arrangements, but do not require prepayment. In this way, the family’s money is secure.

     The very best way to be sure to ensure your loved ones will be able to have the proper end of life arrangements, even in the event of a national emergency, is to put enough money aside to pay for a minimum funeral or cremation arrangement and have it available to a trusted source, whom you know will have no problems releasing the funds when they become needed. A steady relative, church member, even an attorney, who can be trusted are some possible avenues to be sure the funds can be accessed quickly, when needed. Another way to be sure you could cover emergency funeral services, is to have a credit card, with a limit that would cover the minimum amount you would need in your area. There are credit cards available (for example Wal-mart) that you pre pay in order to have the credit available.

     What is a minimum funeral or cremation arrangement? The price of funeral services varies, like other expenses, depending upon where you live. For example, like Automobiles, the type of service chosen by the family will dictate the cost. There are luxury cars and “clunkers” and many models in between. If you choose a large national chain funeral home, funeral prices can be upwards of $10,000 and cremation over $5,000.00. Also be wary of low prices that seem “too good to be true.” Going back to the example for the automobile, if you see an ad for a brand new vehicle for one hundred dollars, would you be skeptical that the total cost will be one hundred dollars for a new car? Perhaps your Mother once said, look for the “basic” or mid range of prices, not necessarily the lowest price, look for value. In many areas a basic cremation can be priced at near $1000.00 dollars and some family only, direct burials at near $4000.00.

     To surmise, a good “plan of action” is to be sure that as a family, there is access to at least $1,000.00 for a cremation and near $5,000.00 for a ground burial. The Cremation Center of Birmingham, in Alabama, has a basic cremation at $950.00. Keep in mind, this price for burial would not include a burial plot in a cemetery. If your family does not have access to a burial plot in a cemetery and finances were an issue, consider cremation. Cremation may seem unusual or not your family tradition, however, if you can change your thinking, to it’s the “size of the container” all normal funeral functions like songs and a minister, can take place at a memorial service.

     It would be heartbreaking for most families to have their deceased loved one treated with less than the respect they deserve. A burial in “pauper’s field” or a mass burial in an unmarked grave would make an already devastating situation feel unbearable. Many will say, “I can’t save a thousand dollars or have a credit card I do not access.” The alternative to not having a plan, is to lose the right to say what the final disposition of someone you loved will be. Without access to some form of payment, in an emergency situation, the choice will be taken from you. The Cremation Center of Birmingham, in Alabama, and others across the country exist, to be sure families have affordable options. In these uncertain times, when another emergency situation occurs, be sure your family will be ready.

Lucy from Pulse Light Clinic Discusses the Benefits of CoolSculpting and Emsculpt as Well as Their Difference

Leave a comment



LONDON (PRWEB)

Lucy Dawe, senior consultant explains the difference between EmSculpt and CoolSculpt and combined treatments.

At Pulse Light Clinic we have the CoolSculpting and EmSculpt machines. They are both fast treatments. We have two CoolSculpting machines which gives us the ability to dualsculpt, putting two applicators on the body at the same time. This is great for reducing time in some areas such as flanks, thighs, arms as well as the axillary puffs. Allowing us to do a combined treatment which halves the time of your session, each cycle is between 35 and 45 minutes including the post massage.

The EmSculpt machine has two pedals allowing dual treatment on certain areas. For arm or leg muscle stimulation, or buttocks we can put two paddles on at the same time which means your treatment is done within 30 minutes in both areas. If you’re doing something like the abdomen 1 or 2 treatments are required and take 30 minutes.

What is CoolSculpting?

CoolSculpting is a fat-freezing machine which is the only FDA approved fat-freezing machine in the world so CoolSculpt is one-of-a-kind and it achieves fat reductions in an area of the body that is suitable for treatment from 20 to 30% on average fat reduction per session.

How does it work?

Coolsculpting sucks the fat tissue into the applicator on our machine and it holds on to that fat issue for 35 to 45 minutes depending on which applicator we’re actually using it then cools the fat to minus 11 degrees and it does not affect the surrounding tissue in the area so it’s only tackling fat tissue, hence why it’s such a safe treatment. When it hits the fat tissue to minus 11 it causes it to actually die at that point at minus 7 degrees and when it’s been on for the required amount of time. After removing the applicator we’re going to massage your skin for a set amount of time and while we do that it will further break down the cell wall lining of the fat tissue. We’re actually effectively destroying fat cells by killing the cell wall lining of the fat tissue by doing that you will not produce new fat tissue replacement even if you gain weight in the future all that happens is that the remaining fat tissue will enlarge in size if you’ve got any fat cells left over after doing CoolSculpting and you gain weight. It is a permanent treatment, after puberty we do not make any new fact issue so unless we reach morbid obesity which most people will not so it is a very permanent solution to fat reduction.

When can you see results?

With CoolSculpting you can see results from two weeks most clients however do see full results from the six to twelve week mark so we do invite you back for a review at the eight week interval after having your session and then we can determine how your progress and results and whether you want to do a second session.

What is EmSculpt?

Electrical muscle stimulation for areas such as the buttocks, abdomen, arms and calves it’s fantastic at building muscle as well as reducing fat on areas. For the buttocks we’re going to switch off the back reduction and we’re going to stimulate as much muscle tissue as possible, on the other areas such as the abdomen we’re going to try and increase fat reduction at the same time.

How does it work?

The way that the EmSculpt works is it encloses the fat cells on areas that were not able to achieve with exercise and also with CoolSculpting, it’s a really good treatment that you can do in combination with fat freezing once you’ve lost a lot of fat tissue you can then move over to EmSculpt and further reduce fat tissue and then build muscle. This particular technology is meant for those who already have a healthy lifestyle, healthy eating and also regularly attend the gym because what we’re trying to do is stimulate muscle. If there’s too much fat tissue on the area you’re not going to see the muscle stimulation results so it’s really good to do in combination with eating healthily and also attending the gym. We will put the paddle on to the skin on the desired area, when the pedal is in place you’ll feel a light contraction sensation and we can increase this contraction to your desired speed so if you find it to uncomfortable we can lower it if you feel that you can tolerate more will heighten the intensity of the contractions.

When can you see results?

EmSculpt can be seen between two to six weeks from the first treatment. These results continue to improve over a six-month period. EmSculpt treatment can be continued past four sessions for even more noticeable results.

Which treatment is better: CoolSculpting or EmSculpt?

This is determined at your consultation but it really depends on what the clients body goals are. If we have a client that comes in that’s looking to treat the abdomen area and they do have a really low body fat percentage on that particular area then maybe CoolSculpting isn’t the best thing for them to do. The EmSculpt may be better because it would decrease the body fat by 19% on the area whilst also stimulating muscle production.

If someone comes in with more fat tissue in an area and bothered more about fitting into clothes and also rolls and things like that then definitely CoolSculpting is more likely to be the best option for that particular client. You may even require a combination of the two body sculpting if it helps with your end body transformation goal.

COVID-19 Help App goes ‘Viral’ in Australia

Leave a comment


News Image

Angel Next Door

App has gained massive support throughout Australia with some 5000 registered helpers in a fortnight since going live. “We get an average of 7 offers for each help request – and you get help in first 30 minutes of posting a help request on an average” said Aamir Qutub, Co-Founder of Angel Next Door.


MELBOURNE, Australia (PRWEB)

Help App developed in response to COVID-19 is helping isolated and high-risk individuals across Australia through 5000 registered helpers garnered in the fortnight since going live.

Angel Next Door (https://angelnextdoor.com.au/) is a web and mobile app designed for people isolated by lockdown to offer and seek help from their neighbours.

Users can seek help for delivering groceries, picking up medications, maybe putting the bins out or doing a spot of gardening. Their neighbours receive notification and can offer help discreetly and securely through in-app chat.

Geelong Tech Entrepreneur & App developer Aamir Qutub, found himself caught short of toilet paper and called his sister, Saba, to see if she could help. Luckily, she could. It triggered a Eureka moment for Aamir who partnered with Villawood Properties Executive Director Rory Costelloe to develop and launch Angel Next Door.

App has gained massive support throughout Australia with some 5000 registered helpers in a fortnight since going live. “We get an average of 7 offers for each help request – and you get help in first 30 minutes of posting a help request on an average,” said Aamir Qutub, Co-Founder of Angel Next Door.

Recently, Neighbourhood Watch Victoria has partnered with Angel Next Door to boost their vital community assistance during the coronavirus lockdown.

“This is a great example of that Aussie tradition of stepping up to help during a crisis,” Ms Gordon said “And ‘watching out for each other’ – something that Neighbourhood Watch has been doing for 37 years”.

“Angel Next Door has been designed specifically to protect the privacy of those people in need. Many of these people might otherwise be the target of scammers and hackers.

“The beauty of the website is its simplicity, its verification of help requests and its ability to provide care from locals in the neighbourhood.” Ms Gordon said

The whole Angel Next Door process is simple. Helpers and people in need register online and as requests arise the nearest neighbours swing into action.

Deliveries, gardening, advice, emotional support, putting out the bins, transport, running errands, walking the dog … whatever the need, the Angel Army is all about helping out quickly and efficiently.

To date, the website has been helping elderly, ill and infirm people as well as others isolated by the corona quarantine. These include:


  • A GP seeking webcams for online consultations.

  • A man suffering back injuries seeking mowing help.

  • A woman seeking pick-up help for a washing machine.

  • A woman with a heart condition isolated from her children needing groceries help.

  • A heart surgery patient and father of five suddenly unemployed seeking food for his family.

The Angel Next Door campaign is being spearheaded by Australian Idol singer and presenter Kim Cooper, a full-time carer for her disabled father, John.

“During this time, it’s so important that we come together as a community to support those around us,” Kim says.

“We can’t all save the world right now but we can definitely make a positive difference to our little slice of it.

“It may simply be cooking a meal or doing a grocery shop for someone in your street who needs a little support.”

Villawood Properties has turned its giant corten metal Geelong Ring Road messaging to the cause, with three-metre-high letters spelling out #angelnextdoor to passing motorists.

“This is a wonderful idea to connect people who need help with people who’d like to help,” Villawood’s Rory Costelloe said.

Angel Next Door can be accessed via web at angelnextdoor.com.au or as an app on Apple App Store or Google Play Store.

COVID-19 Data Tools Available to Compare and Rank States and Counties

Leave a comment


HomeTownLocator.com COVID-19 Data Tools

HomeTownLocator.com COVID-19 Data Tools

HTL Data Tools make it easy to interact, sort and search with COVID-19 data


MALABAR, Fla. (PRWEB)

HomeTownLocator.com (HTL) has provided maps and demographic information about cities, towns, counties, states and ZIP Codes to over a million visitors a month since 2005. They have a very popular series of tools to compare, contrast and rank different geographic units. Now, courtesy of a data feed from The New York Times, HTL has added state and county COVID-19 data to the mix.

SEARCHABLE, SORTABLE AND LINKED DATA

It’s useful to see a spreadsheet or chart of data. One can study the data for a while and see what information can be learned from it.

However, it’s powerful when you can interact with the data by, for example, taking a table of every county in the U.S. that has reported one or more cases of COVID-19 and presenting it in an interactive table with four columns (Total Cases, Cases per 100,000 people, Total Deaths, Deaths per 100,000 people).

As of 4/22/2020, that table contained 2,824 counties, 834,677 COVID-19 cases and 42,515 COVID-19 deaths.

Working with an interactive table with 2,834 rows is not difficult when you simply display 20 rows per page. You can sort the data by any of the four columns with one-click for an ascending sort (lowest to highest), or two-clicks for a descending sort (highest to lowest). Each sort takes less than a second.

Want to see the 100 counties with the highest per-capita number of deaths (deaths per 100,000 people)? Simply click twice on the correct column and the 100 counties with highest per capita death rates will be in ranked order on the first five pages in less than a second.

Want to jump to the data for particular county? Simply start typing in the search box and as you type each letter, the list of possible counties will shrink until you find the one you are looking for.

There are functionally identical tables for working with all the states, as well as each individual state and its counties.

One useful advantage of working with COVID-19 data in HomeTownLocator.com is that the data is linked in such a way that it is very easy to find additional information about a specific community whenever you want to learn more about that location.

For example, if you’re reviewing a list of the top twenty counties in the nation based a descending sort on deaths per 100,000 people, than Randolph, GA may catch your attention since it had the highest per-capita death rate on 4/22/202 with 213.5 per 100,000 people. When you click the link for Randolph County, GA, you’re taken to COVID-19 page with bar charts for daily reports of new cases and deaths for that county (148 as of 4/22/2020).

The COVID-19 page is now part of a standard HTL County Profile that includes demographic data, boundary maps, ZIP Codes, physical, cultural and historic features and schools. There are links within the County Profile that link to Community Profiles for incorporated cities, towns, and villages as well as Census Designated Places.

ABOUT HomeTownLocator.com

The HomeTownLocator® series of state gazetteers, produced by HTL, Inc., has been a popular online resource for local information for over 14 years. In the last 12 months, the site has received over 16 million visits according to directly measured data by QuantCast.com.

Clearwater Periodontist Shares Ways to Keep Your Mouth Healthy While Your Dentist is Closed

Leave a comment


Dr. Todd Britten’s Periodontal Practice is located in Clearwater, Florida

“The safety of our patients, community and all dental team members has been and always will be always be our greatest concern.”


CLEARWATER, Fla. (PRWEB)

On March 16th, The American Dental Association (ADA) recommended on March 16 that dentists restrict their practices to all but urgent and emergency care due to the COVID19 pandemic.

On March 20th, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis ordered all dental offices to postpone all elective dental procedures until May 8th. In the meantime, dentists are asked to see emergency patients to lessen the burden on the hospital systems.

Britten says dental hygiene homecare is especially important while under quarantine to help avoid dental emergencies. He recommends thorough, yet gentle brushing twice a day with a fluoride toothpaste and cleaning between the teeth with floss, interdental brushes, or softpicks. He also suggests avoiding VERY hard foods to avoid fracturing teeth or roots, and also limiting acidic and sugary beverages.

Since the shutdown, Dr. Todd Britten has been seeing emergency patients, explaining, “Conditions that would be considered urgent/emergent would include, but are not limited to the following:

Moderate to severe pain and/or soreness

Swelling of your gums, face, or neck

Uncontrolled bleeding

Signs of infection

Trauma

Medically necessary procedures to treat pain, infection, disease, or the likely potential thereof.”

If you experience a dental emergency, Dr. Britten is readily available to take care of any dental advice or emergency care in his Clearwater, Florida periodontal office. “The safety of our patients, community and all dental team members has been and always will be always be our greatest concern.”

Britten states that he, his employees and patients are eagerly awaiting any reopening protocols from the experts and authorities. “We will continue to update and educate our staff, patients and community, on any and all safety guidelines and treatment protocols as they become available.”

Britten Periodontics & Implant Dentistry is a periodontal practice offering patients personalized dental care in implant dentistry in Clearwater, Florida. Dr. Todd Britten received his Bachelor of Science & Doctorate of Dental Surgery from University of Florida, a Master’s Degree and Certificate in Periodontology and Implant Dentistry; and completed extensive training at the Institute of Advanced Laser Dentistry. He is one of the only board-certified periodontists in Pinellas County. He is a member of the American Academy of Periodontology, American Dental Association, Florida Association of Periodontists, Upper Pinellas County Dental Association, Hillsborough County Dental Association, Hillsborough County Dental Research Association and Florida West Coast Dental Association.

First Aid Global LLC Donates PPE To Nursing Homes That Are Frequently Overlooked

Leave a comment


Nurse holding one of First Aid Global’s PPE Kits

We dropped twenty PPE to the Salvation Army’s Hope Harbor and received a very warm welcome from a nurse who had little in the way of personal protection equipment.


LOS ANGELES (PRWEB)

“Purchase a T-shirt, provide a PPE Kit for a healthcare worker or first responder in need” is the current mantra for the good people at First Aid Global LLC in Tarzana California. They created a T-shirt screened with “Social Distance Warrior” and their own unique emoji design and are selling them on their website for $25.00, promising to donate a complete PPE Kit to a medical worker in need for each shirt sold.

The result: “We’re off to a great start!” says co-owner Todd West. “Yesterday we dropped twenty PPE to the Salvation Army’s Hope Harbor in Los Angeles and received a very warm welcome from a nurse who had little in the way of personal protection equipment,” West says.

Hope Harbor serves to empower homeless men suffering from drug and alcohol abuse to achieve spiritual, physical and social self-sufficiency. It is an in-care facility that Veterans can utilize up to a 2-year stay.

Eduardo Galvan, co-owner of First Aid Global LLC says “Immediately upon arrival I witnessed many homeless people knocking on the door of Hope Harbor and then being served food. It touched me to see that on these sometimes terrible streets there is a place where the homeless can get help.”

Each packaged PPE Kit includes a containment suit, N95 mask, goggles, gloves, booties, hair net, disinfectant wipes and bio-hazard waste bag. Sold on their website for $24.95 each, the kits are being made as fast as they’re being handed out. First Aid Global has scheduled deliveries to a Children’s Hospital as well as a Nursing Home in Long Beach and they have plans to include out-of-state nursing facilities too.

“It appears that in the state of New York, fifty-eight percent of the deaths happened in nursing homes in New York City,” Mr. West adds. “This would indicate that the Federal Government has been overlooking these nursing homes in mass and so we’re focusing on them first. I know there are many medical workers in need and we are certainly limited, but we all have to start somewhere.”
