Book's Heartfelt Poems and Little Gems of Wisdom Teach About Relationships

Book's Heartfelt Poems and Little Gems of Wisdom Teach About Relationships

With his new book, "Forever Sentimental, Volume IV: The Game of Hearts," Kenyatta brings readers out of this world beauty, feeling, passion, insight and safety in love.

Cleveland Heights, OH (PRWEB) February 25, 2008

Spice up your love life by learning to first love yourself, through sweet poems and eye-opening life lessons from poet and relationship coach Kenyatta's new book "Forever Sentimental, Volume IV: The Game of Hearts" (ISBN 9780595477548, iUniverse, 2007).

Original, romantic poems are sprinkled among 67 powerful life lessons in "The Game of Hearts," the fourth book in Kenyatta's collection of sentimental poetry, devoted to different aspects of human relationships. As a relationship coach, Kenyatta has the unique opportunity to enter other couples' private worlds and experience both their pain and joy. From this background, he is able to offer incredible advice on what makes a healthy relationship, how find safety in love, how to heal from unhealthy relationships, the importance of self-esteem in the relationship game, keeping the spark alive and communication.

"The Game of Hearts" focuses on the game-like nature of love: two people put their hearts on the line in a risky leap of faith, where the outcome is anything but certain. Kenyatta's enlightening life lessons remind readers of both the beautiful and ugly sides of human nature, like a close friend who always honestly tells you what they truly think of your lover. The principles presented in "The Game of Hearts" give readers the necessary encouragement and strength to avoid abusive relationships and unnecessary heartbreak.

One of the biggest themes of "The Game of Hearts" is the importance of being emotionally healthy and developing a strong self esteem before entering a relationship, as a safeguard against potentially unhealthy relationships. "When you are balanced, have high self worth and optimal emotional health, you tend to have standards of who qualifies to be in your life and who does not," Kenyatta says.

The book largely focuses on helping readers attain this state of emotional health, so that they're able to recognize their desired qualities -- or the lack thereof -- in potential partners. "The Game of Hearts" is a passionate, insightful collection of charming poems and compelling lessons that together have the transformational power to help readers build healthy lives filled with productive, loving relationships.

About the Author
Kenyatta resides in Cleveland Heights, Ohio. He is a poet and a relationship coach.

Over a Million Students and Parents Vote in the 2002 National Student/Parent Mock Election

Over a Million Students and Parents Vote in the 2002 National Student/Parent Mock Election

(PRWEB) November 10, 2002

American students and parents participated in a vast exercise in democracy this past week as over one million votes were cast in the National Student Parent Mock Election. From 10 students in a one room school in Lime Village, Alaska, where the mail comes in by plane once a week and the parents never vote, to over 100,000 students and their parents in Pennsylvania and New Jersey; from Muslim schools in the Bronx to American schools in Germany, Italy, Great Britain, Japan and the Virgin Islands, the votes poured into Mock Election National Headquarters in Richmond, Virginia.

The nationÂ’s largest voter education project, the National Student/Parent Mock Election, joined forces with AOL, the nationÂ’s largest internet provider, to make it possible for participants to cast votes online from around the world if they wished, foreshadowing the way Americans will vote in the future.

In some cases the votes mirrored those in the actual election (the students voted for Republican control of the Senate and the House, for example) and in some they did not. Students also voted on key national issues such as homeland security, the economy, education, environment and energy and health care.

The students chose education as the most important issue in their view, with homeland security and health care tying for second place, followed by the environment and then the economy—suggesting that their elders worries about money and job security had not yet affected them.

Students from the Governor's School for Government and International Studies in Richmond, Virginia undertook the challenging task of tabulating and consolidating the national vote. They established National Mock Election Headquarters in the Virginia General Assembly Building and tallied results from around the country and overseas throughout the day and well into the night. It was an added learning experience in democracy and a first for a school to assume this responsibility.

“What is important about a mock election is not who wins and who loses” Gloria Kirshner, President of the National Student/Parent Mock Election said, “but whether or not we are turning the sense of powerlessness that keeps young Americans, and their parents, too, from going to the polls into a sense of the power of participation in our democracy.”

“This is the largest generation of children under 18 in the nation’s history. Today’s children will grow up to have more power than 99% of the people who have ever walked the earth.1 But if present trends continue, most of them will never exercise their power and vote. Our teachers are the gatekeepers of democracy. It is they who must teach young Americans the moral authority of their citizenship. Never in the history of our nation was it more important to demonstrate our faith in our freedom.”

There were some interesting responses to the underlying questions on the national issues.

On education, students were almost equally divided about providing school vouchers vs. leaving the present system as it is (29% – 25%). An equal percentage, however, believed that “tax dollars should not be used to fund private or religious schools” (30%).2

Voting on homeland security, 34% of the students were “willing to sacrifice some of their constitutional rights for greater security.” 27% stated that “while both are important, maintaining constitutional rights is more important than greater security.” 25% voted that “defending and pursuing our constitutional rights is the best kind of homeland security our nation can have.”

On the question of health care costs, an overwhelming number (47%) believe that “prescription drug costs should be lowered but market competition can be more effective at doing so than government regulation,” whereas 30% believed “the government should ensure that prescription drug costs should come down, even if it means raising taxes or allocating less money to other programs.” 24% voted that “individuals should be responsible for their own health care services, free from government interference or help.”

On the question of environment and energy policy, by an overwhelming majority (48%) the students voted that “more emphasis should be placed on energy sources that are sustainable and environmentally friendly such as solar or wind power.” 18% believe that “since business drives the U. S. economy and world leadership, the government should impose minimal environmental regulations on business.” 19% believe that “in the current international situation, sustaining domestic energy sources is more important than environmental conservation.” 15% said that “the government should provide tax incentives to Americans who buy alternative fuel or fuel-efficient cars, even if providing those tax incentives requires raising taxes on traditional fuels such as gasoline.”

On questions of economic policy, the students voted for the Republican approach of lowering taxes vs. Democratic concern for social welfare by 39% to 29%. 14% indicated they didn’t like either party’s policies. 18% voted that “individuals should be totally free from government interference in their economic decisions.”

Michael Kirby, Vice Chairman, said "properly used by educators, the internet has a very important role to play in our democracy. As our elections grow more inclusive, our freedoms will stand on firmer ground.”

Note to editors:

The University of ColoradoÂ’s evaluation found that the National Student/Parent Mock Election increased the belief that voting is important, political decision-making ability, informed involvement on current issues, the discussion of political and election topics with parents and the belief that social studies classes are relevant. It decreased the sense of powerlessness.

For statements of support from national civic and educational organizations, the two party chairmen, etc. please see attached.

Thumbs Up at ARVO for Diaton Tonometer - New Through Eyelid Glaucoma Test Clinical Study Presented, Results as Accurate as Gold Standard

Thumbs Up at ARVO for Diaton Tonometer - New Through Eyelid Glaucoma Test Clinical Study Presented, Results as Accurate as Gold Standard

Unique Transpalpebral and Transcleral Diaton Tonometer is presented at The Association for Research in Vision and Ophthalmology ARVO by BiCOM Inc. New Clinical Study presented "Accuracy of Transpalpebral Tonometer Diaton Compared to Goldmann Applanation Tonometer in Normal and Glaucomatous Eyes". "It works," says Dr. Mark Latina, the inventor of Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty (SLT).

Fort Lauderdale, FL (PRWEB) May 26, 2009

Transpalpebral and Transcleral Diaton Tonometry is a unique approach to measuring intraocular pressure (IOP) THROUGH THE EYELID - without contact with the cornea, no anesthetic drops or sterilization is required. BiCOM's pen-like, hand-held, portable medical device is ideal for measuring eye pressure (IOP) and helps ophthalmologists, optometrists and primary care physicals in diagnosis and prevention of blindness caused by glaucoma, the number one cause of preventable blindness in the United States. This new ophthalmic device http://www. TonometerDiaton. com (http://www. TonometerDiaton. com) is irreplaceable for mass glaucoma screenings in children and adults.

Yet another successful clinical comparison to the Gold standard study presented at ARVO 2009, "Accuracy of Transpalpebral Tonometer Diaton Compared to Goldmann Applanation Tonometer in Normal and Glaucomatous Eyes" by Authors: M. A. Latina 1, T. A. Shazly 2, R. Iospa 3, E. W. Chynn 4. From 1 Reading Health Center, Reading, MA; 2 Ophthalmology, Massachusetts Eye and Ear Infirmary MEEI, Boston, MA; 3 Bicom, Inc., New York, NY; 4 Park Avenue Laser Vision, New York, NY.

In an interview with Ocular Surgery News (http://www. osnsupersite. com) at the Association for Research in Vision and Ophthalmology meeting, Dr. Latina said IOP measurements with the Diaton tonometer are equivalent to Goldmann applanation tonometry. The Diaton device offers a safe, noncontact method of measuring pressure via the eyelid, he said.

"It works," said Dr. Mark Latina the inventor of Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty (SLT).

"It gives you a reasonable estimation of the pressure without having to anesthetize the cornea through a transpalpebral approach."

Tonometer Diaton (http://www. tonometer-diaton. com) is the perfect solution in the following cases when the use of other tonometry devices is problematic or impossible: Keratitis, Conjunctivitis, Keratotone, Cornea Dimness, Keratoprosthesis, Keratoplastics, LASIK, LASEK, PRK, Astigmatism, Ametropy, etc.,

Diaton tonometer is intended for use by Inpatient & Outpatient Clinics such as Hospitals, Emergency Rooms, Nursing & Elderly Homes, General & Specialty Practitioners as well as Ophthalmologists and Optometrists.

New Year's Resolutions for the Desperate Long Distance Caregiver

New Year's Resolutions for the Desperate Long Distance Caregiver

Eldercare expert gerontologist Cheryl Kuba offers strategies as New Year's resolutions to make long distance caregiving a stress-free success for you and your aging parent.

Chicago, IL (PRWEB) December 30, 2007

Maybe home is where the heart is, but if you are not home and desperately worried about an ailing loved one who lives 2,000 miles away, your anguish can be a ticking time-bomb for your own health and future happiness.

Eldercare expert and gerontologist Cheryl Kuba offers strategies that can be adopted as New Year's resolutions to make long distance caregiving a stress-free success for you and your aging parent. "According to a study by Metropolitan Life (2005), more than 7 million adult children are caring for their parents long distance," Kuba said. "While the internet and cell phones can put us in immediate contact with our loved ones, there is no substitute for the human touch or being able to see with our own eyes that our parents are safe, and well cared for." Long distance caregivers live an average of 304 miles away from their care receivers, according to statistics from the National Coalition on Aging (NCOA).

In her book Navigating the Journey of Aging Parents: What Care Receivers Want (Routlege 2006), Kuba outlines what the dependent elderly expect from their children who live far away, as well as the concerns that the adult children have about mom and dad not living just down the block. "As we venture into a new year our own new year's resolutions should include a reasonable, updated game plan for long distance caregiving," Kuba said.

Resolutions to insure the well-being and comfort for a relative who lives miles away:

Advance Directives. It's a new year. Time to revisit the affairs that are in order, or simply get your parent's affairs in order. Specifically, make sure that the Living Will, Health Care Power of Attorney and organ donation card (if this is your loved one's choice) are up to date. Too many families wind up in court at the same time that their ailing family member is dying in a hospital, because nobody checked the advance directives. In some cases, guardianship needs to be established long before a loved one's dying days.

MOST IMPORTANTLY: KNOW WHERE THESE DOCUMENTS ARE KEPT! Whether it is a safe deposit box, file cabinet, a lawyer's office or a shoe box under the bed, you should know and should also alert someone who lives close to your parent how to locate these documents. Some elderly individuals choose to tape an envelope to the refrigerator with the living will and durable power of attorney inside. If paramedics are called, they will have the documents in hand in a matter of minutes.

Consider Care Management. Eldercare managers or case managers can be hired to do all kinds of tasks for your parents including scheduling appointments, doing paperwork, hiring housekeeping and even pet care services. Care managers are often considered as "the other daughter" and can serve as a terrific professional liaison between you and your parent. Contact the National Association of Geriatric Care Managers, www. caremanager. org. 

Local contacts as back up. It's time to update that list of local contacts. One adult daughter that we worked with was frantic because her mother's health care power of attorney had been given to an elderly woman who was now hospitalized with Alzheimer's disease. Comb through your parent's social network of neighbors, church folks and friends to see if there isn't someone who can frequently visit and give you an update on how your parent is doing. A good source is the Eldercare Locator, www. eldercare. gov, for help in your parent's community.

Family members. It's hard to believe that just as your aging parent grows older, so do the grandchildren and nieces and nephews. Maybe one of your nieces or nephews is old enough now to do 'grandma check-ins' as a part time job. Perhaps the situation for your siblings or Godchildren has changed, and they can help with the tasks of taking your parent to appointments.

In town assessments. During your next visit, do a thorough assessment of your parents' living situation. Is their environment still safe? Are there spills around the stove that could indicate poor eyesight, or lack of recognition about food spilling over?

Do a physical 'walk around' with your parent, in their home. Before every flight, the captain or first officer on each commercial flight does a physical 'walk around' to make sure that the plane is in ship shape. Are the lights and vents working, etc? Have the conversation with your parent about falling, as the two of you walk through their living room, and into the bedroom. Phrase the question by saying, "When you fall..." not, "If you fall...". One-third of all falls with the elderly occur from hazards in the home. As you pass various locations in each room, the question should be, "When you fall over here by the window, how will you get help?" Whether or not you get the best answer to this question, you have started the conversation, and started your parent thinking about the possibilities of a fall. This is also a great time to talk about emergency alert devices.

Telephones. Cell phones and cordless phones can be both a blessing and a hindrance for your parent. Cell phones need to always be charged; and, with a few exceptions, most buttons and displays on cell phones aren't user friendly for someone with poor eyesight or arthritic hands. Cordless phones work, but are useless if the power goes off. Always have a phone with a cord in the home.

Time zones. We worked with an adult daughter named Jean, who lived in London, while her 85-year-old mother lived in the United States. Even though the daughter told her mother to call on her cell phone, the elderly mom rarely ever called because of the distance, the cost and the confusion over the time zones. Jean became so anxious about her mother refusing to call, that she moved back to the U. S. Now Jean's mother uses the same cell phone number and calls her daughter frequently. The hurdle here was the obstacle in her mother's mind about placing a transatlantic call.

Know that you are doing your best. No two families are alike, and no two situations are alike. What may have been an emergency crisis for your Aunt Mabel in Omaha may be solved by getting your mom in Chicago to take two aspirin.

Take care of yourself, celebrate each moment and 2008 will be a Happy New Year!

Selecting author and former radio talk show host Cheryl Kuba as a guest on your program or in your publication will enrich the experience for your listeners, viewers, and readers as she delivers fact-filled information and answers about the elder care arena. Her expertise and enthusiasm come from her thorough exploration of the emotional issues of parenting parents, and from her experience dealing with the patient who is angry with his or her adult children.

Bronson Vitamins Announces 5 New Products Including Liquid Vitamin D

Bronson Vitamins Announces 5 New Products Including Liquid Vitamin D

Vitamins for diabetics, liquid vitamin D, Turmeric, cholesterol support and healthy heart vitamins introduced to Bronson Vitamin’s line of fine vitamins. Bronson's vitamins have been recommended by over 25,000 health professionals worldwide and have been in business since 1960.

Lindon, UT (Vocus) June 23, 2010

Online vitamin store (http://www. bronsonvitamins. com/) Bronson Vitamins has announced the addition of 5 new products to their line of vitamins. The new products are for people with high cholesterol, diabetics, heart health concerns and those who want to improve their overall health and vitality.

Diabetic Multi
Many diabetics struggle to maintain a healthy diet with all the nutrients needed. Diabetic Multi contains the vitamins, minerals, nutrients and micronutrients needed to support metabolism and healthy blood sugar levels.

Liquid Vitamin D
Vitamin D has been in the headlines for good reason – vitamin D is necessary to absorb calcium which is key to maintaining healthy bones. Vitamin D benefits (http://www. bronsonvitamins. com/search/?searchConditions=0&searchPhrase=vitamin+D&x=0&y=0) include a stronger immune system, a balanced mood and more. This form is vitamin D3 which is the type of vitamin D that is made naturally when sunlight hits the skin. Whether taken alone or with a beverage the liquid version is absorbed quickly and efficiently and supports virtually every system and organ in the body.

Turmeric for Digestion Support
With a long history of use in both Ayurveda and traditional Asian medicine, Tumerica is a natural digestive aid and has been used to soothe indigestion for centuries. Turmeric has a broad array of health benefits. Studies show it is rich in natural anti-inflammatory properties as well-with potential benefit to both joint health and cardiovascular health. It’s also a powerful antioxidant that neutralizes dangerous free radicals, which slows the aging process.

Lipacor for Cholesterol Support
The latest addition to Bronson's cardiovascular support products puts four of nature's most powerful cholesterol-busting nutrients together for a stronger heart. Contains policosanol which helps prevent the LDL oxidation that can lead to gunk clogging artery walls. Omega-3 fatty acids, EPA and DHA, which cannot be made by the body, also support healthy cholesterol levels. Each nutrient in this blend are packed into an easy-to-swallow Lipacor softgel.

Omega-3 Fish Oil with Vitamin D
It’s known that fats help the body best absorb Vitamin D - a crucial nutrient for strong bones and a powerful immune system. Omega-3 Fish Oil with vitamin D utilizes the most beneficial, heart-healthy fat possible: omega-3. EPA and DHA from fish oil are "good" fats and Omega 3 benefits (http://www. bronsonvitamins. com/search/?searchConditions=0&searchPhrase=omega+3&x=0&y=0) include heart and circulatory health. Each capsule contains 1000IU of Vitamin D – the optimal daily dose to support heart health.

About Bronson Vitamins
Bronson products are recommended by over 25,000 health professionals worldwide. Since 1960 Bronson has been providing families with the highest quality products and customer service there is to offer.

Every supplement is formulated, manufactured, and packaged in our state-of-the-art manufacturing facilities according to the most stringent quality control procedures, ensuring product consistency in potency, purity, and integrity.

Blue Cross - American Health Insurance; Special Health Plans for 18-29 Year Olds

Blue Cross - American Health Insurance; Special Health Plans for 18-29 Year Olds

Tonik health plans are targeted to 19-29 year olds who are independent, active, and fearless.

Northridge, CA (PRWEB) March 22, 2006

Do you have a son or daughter who doesn’t have health insurance?

American Health Insurance (http://www. Americanhealth911.com) is pleased to announce that BC Life & Health Insurance Company, an affiliate of Blue Cross of California, now offers health coverage designed just for adventurous 20-somethings. Take one look at Tonik™ and it's evident that it’s (no offense) not their parents’ health insurance.

Tonik™ offers a choice of three simple Individual PPO plans. The application is quick and easy – it’s all online and only takes about 15 minutes. In most cases, applicants will receive an immediate decision. And the prices are painless. For 19-29 year olds, rates can be just about $69-$142 per month, depending on the plan they pick, where they live, their age and their medical history.* That’s not much to pay for some peace of mind.

A Tonik™ (http://www. Americanhealth911.com) plan provides coverage for the everyday, preventive stuff (like checkups) and the more dramatic encounters (like, dare we say, knee surgery). Tonik does not provide maternity coverage.

Tonik™ plans include immediate coverage for:

Doctor visits – Tonik™ members pay $20, $30 or $40 to see a doctor, depending on the plan Generic prescription drugs – only a $10 copay Emergency room care Dentist appointments Eye exams, glasses or contacts

Blue Cross of California has been covering Californians for over 65 years, and their vast PPO network includes over 50,000 doctors and over 400 hospitals. Tonik members also get access to lots of other services to help them stay healthy, and there’s even a special Customer Service number just for them.

Sons and daughters always look to their parents for financial help in a medical emergency. Parents really can’t afford to have an uninsured dependant.

To experience Tonik™ firsthand, go to the Tonik™ website (http://www. tonikhealth. com/?brand=BCC&parenttin=&id=CJGLKQJRLY&agency=AMERICAN+HEALTH+INSURANCE%2C+INC%2E&fname=&lname=&addr=8619+RESEDA+BLVD%2E+STE%23301%20&city=NORTHRIDGE&state=CA&zip=91324&phone=800%2D280%2D4110&phoneext=&fax=800%2D428%2D5868&email=CMONDRUS%40AMERICANHEALTH911%2ECOM&tc=&cid=), or, tell that adventurous, independent 20-something to check it out.

Need more info? Give American Health Insurance (http://www. Americanhealth911.com) a call with any questions about Tonik™.

American Health Insurance (http://www. Americanhealth911.com) is the top choice for Individual/ Family health plans as well as Group health plans for companies of 2-50 employees. Trained staff members guide new members through the entire process of choosing just the right plan. Stand alone dental, vision and term life plans are also available as well; all for a very affordable monthly premium. But the main benefit of using American Health Insurance is that clients will know that they are dealing with an agency that provides the best customer service experience in the industry.

*Rates are subject to change.
