A study published in the American Journal of Industrial Medicine has found comorbidity of PTSD, depression, and anxiety in police officers who responded to 9/11. Many responders developed PTSD after 9/11, and may be at higher risk for depression and anxiety, researchers say.

Port Washington, US – April 29, 2016 /PressCable/ —

Parker Waichman LLP, a national law firm that has spent many years fighting to ensure that the first responders and survivors of the 9/11 terrorist attacks are never forgotten, is commenting on the findings of a new study involving the health of 9/11 responders. The American Journal of Industrial Medicine has published a recent study examining rates of depression, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and anxiety in police officers who responded to the attacks. The authors found that, “Nearly half of police with probable PTSD had comorbid depression and anxiety.” A comorbid disorder involves one medical condition existing simultaneously with—either dependently or independently of another medical condition. (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/27094566)

The authors point out that many police responders developed PTSD in the wake of the 9/11 terrorist attacks, and that these individuals may be more susceptible to depression and/or anxiety. Using the WTC Health Registry, the researchers analyzed data from 1,884 police enrollees. These individuals were placed into four groups based on whether they exhibited either individual or comorbid symptoms of PTSD, depression, or anxiety. The results of the study found that, out of the 1884 study subjects, 243 (12.9 percent) were classified as having probable PTSD. Within this group, 24.7 percent were classified as having depression, 5.8 percent with anxiety, 47.7 percent with comorbid (combined) depression and anxiety, and 21.8 percent with PTSD without depression or anxiety. The study found comorbidity (combined disorders) to be more common among individuals with the following factors: being Hispanic, having a decreased income, suffering from a physical injury the day of the attacks, suffering from a trauma and/or stressful events since the 9/11 attacks, and being unemployed or retired.

Parker Waichman comments that many 9/11 responders and survivors continue to suffer from serious health issues, both mental and physical, due to the attacks. “These individuals selflessly put themselves in harm’s way at a time when their country needed them most,” said Matthew J. McCauley, Senior Litigation Counsel at the firm. “This study, along with many others, shows that responders are still paying the price with their health.”

In November, the journal Psychological Medicine published a study that revealed that World Trade Center (WTC) exposure was linked to long-term PTSD. Researchers looked at PTSD 11-13 years after the attacks by administering tests to over 3,200 responders monitored at the Stony Brook University World Trade Center Health Program. A total of 9.7 percent were diagnosed with current WTC-PTSD; 7.9 percent had remitted, and 5.9 percent were deemed partial. Avoidance and hyper-arousal were the most common symptoms among those with active PTSD, while flashbacks were the least common. PTSD was strongly associated with WTC exposures, especially to death and human remains. (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/?term=DSM-IV+post-traumatic+stress+disorder+among+World+Trade+Center+responders+11-13+years+after+the+disaster+of+11+September+2001)

Responders and survivors may receive medical care and compensation through the WTC Health Program and the September 11th Victim Compensation Fund (VCF). These programs are provided through the Zadroga Act, which was first passed in 2010. As the deadline for Zadroga approached in 2015, advocates, including Parker Waichman, fought hard for permanent reauthorization. The Zadroga Act was reauthorized on December 18, 2015; the law funds the WTC Health Program for another 75 years and extends the VCF for another five years.

The firm vows to continue its efforts to safeguard these 9/11 responders and survivors and ensure that all of the deserved Zadroga Act compensation is received. To determine eligibility for compensation under the Act, or for assistance with a claim, please visit Parker Waichman’s website or call 1-800-LAW-INFO (1-800-529-4636).

129 Years After Its Founding, Iconic Maker of Boos Blocks Still Relevant

Phoenix, United States – April 29, 2016 /PressCable/ —

Even though the company was founded more than a century ago, the John Boos name remains one of the best-recognized brands in the home and commercial kitchen furniture and equipment space. Ted Gravenhorst, Boos’ VP of Sales and Marketing, explained the company’s focus on new product development: “One way to keep a brand top of mind with consumers is by continuously refreshing your product line – adding on-trend features to best-selling items and introducing all-new products that tap into emerging tastes and trends.”

Boos previewed a full slate of new products with customers during the 2016 International Home and Housewares Show in Chicago, refined designs based on feedback they received, and just announced one dozen new products immediately available.

The new slate includes:

5 distinctly different butcher block tables, in maple, cherry and walnut, and in edge-grain, end-grain and blended grain construction styles; 4 carving boards that incorporate full-perimeter juice grooves plus handle grips holes or wing extensions; and 3 cutting board designs, including maple and cherry boards with walnut end rails; Mezzaluna herb boards; and chopping blocks elevated on stylized, wooden pedestal-and-ball legs.

According to Gravenhorst of Boos & Co., “The reaction has been overwhelmingly positive. Boos dealers seem pleased with the breadth of this year’s new product line-up, as well as the magnitude of the tweaks.” His sentiment was echoed by Kathleen Grodsky, Marketing VP at Butcher Block Co., the leading online seller of Boos Blocks. “These new items incorporate bigger shifts in design than seen in past years. These sorts of changes position Boos to appeal to consumers who seek the heritage of traditional butcher blocks but prefer a more contemporary style style for modern or urban settings,” she observed.

About John Boos: Boos & Co., headquartered in Effingham, IL, manufactures wood and steel products designed principally for residential and commercial kitchens. Butcher Block Co.: BBC is a leading online seller of butcher block countertops; kitchen islands, tables and carts; plus, cutting boards, knives and knife blocks.

With the travel trend of house sitting on the rise, one peer-to-peer platform is going the extra mile with a new initiative called ’Nomador Stopovers’, an exciting world first within the collaborative consumption movement.

April 29, 2016 /MarketersMedia/ —

The international house-sitting community of Nomador.com has grown over the last two years to reach 23,000 members worldwide. It is primarily a community of pet-lovers, people who love animals as much as they love travelling and discovering the different countries of the world.

In April 2016, this ‘match-making’ platform added a whole new level of service for its fast growing community. “We wanted to provide a chance for our members to develop friendships and useful connections with families in other countries, and to find short stops during their travels abroad or for in between house-sits” says founder, Mariannig Ferrari.

Nomador Stopovers has been described as a grown-up version of couch surfing, an exchange service that has been successful for many years. Speaking on the initiative behind the move Mrs Ferrari adds “It has long been our desire to help facilitate the forging of international friendships and better cross cultural understanding across borders.”

Many of the house sitting community have stated that the opportunity to ‘live like locals’ is what drives most of their travel decisions. “It’s not about just having a cheap (or free) place to stay, its about making connections with people around the world and getting to experience life in a different culture.” says Jodie Burnham, a full-time international house sitter, “And now with Nomador Stopovers, we have the chance to stay with people of like mind in between our house sitting assignments – it’s yet another win/win for home and pet owners and those of us who love providing our services for free.”

The creators of Nomador Stopovers are reaching out those who have a spare bedroom and are willing to open their door for a night or two to foreign home owners and house-sitters, even if just once per year.

“I believe we all share a passion to travel, to explore, and to meet locals — and Nomador Stopovers helps us fulfill our dream of connecting people on a global scale. It’s our curiosity about other cultures and different ways of life. It’s our desire to meet people who are different from us, and it’s celebrating those differences that make it so exciting.” Mariannig continues, “Our wish is to teach our children the meaning of the word ‘Hospitality’ and to continue to believe that most of humanity is fundamentally generous and willing to take part in collaborative consumption.”

Getting involved in this initiative allows members of Nomador.com to:

– Make other member’s travel experiences special when they’re in your part of the world
– Offer travellers a genuine local experience in a proper house
– Make new international friends
– Save guests the cost of an anonymous hotel room
– Possibly cook your favorite local recipe to share
– Enrich each other’s profiles (by getting feedback from other members of the community)

For more information and to take part in Nomador Stopovers, visit the blog announcement at: https://www.nomador.com/blog/news/nomador-stopovers-make-new-friends-in-the-house-sitting-community

The beautifully designed cards will be available in four colors simlar to poker cards: GOLD, BLUE, BLACK or PINK, each color is considered as one deck which can be bought separately or as a complete set for 4 decks.

Cleveland, OH , United States – April 29, 2016 /MarketersMedia/ —

Creative entrepreneur, Mon Cheri Davenport has recently shared her ingenious plans to spot boredom from ruining people’s mood through a live variety game show called Moks Nix and the corresponding playing cards. Mon Cheri has taken the initiative to set up a crowdfunding campaign on the popular crowfunding campaign on the popular crowfunding platform for creative projects Kickstarter with a funding goal of at least $5,500, the campaign will go live soon.

Moks Nix is German for, ‘it makes no difference, and Mon Cheri believes that it shouldn’t make a difference where people want to have some fun, which is why she developed the concept for the Moks Nix live playing cards. Elaborating the concept further, she said: These cards are a labor of love, which were spun out of the MOKS NIX LIVE GAME SHOW: a family-oriented variety show, which involves audience members participating in entertaining activities to win amazing prizes and surprises, such as Flat Screen TVs, Tablets, Visa Gift cards, and much more. Inspired by a family vacation in Orlando, Florida, where the return home was met with disappointingly less opportunities for family entertainment, the creator is hoping to release this deck of cards to ensure that you never have to go through that again.

The beautifully designed cards will be available in four colors simlar to poker cards: GOLD, BLUE, BLACK or PINK, each color is considered as one deck which can be bought separately or as a complete set for 4 decks. The crowdfunding project offers various pledge options to suit different preferences. A variety of different rewards and perks are also being offered to prize the generosity of those who support the campaign and the project through their monetary contributions. The KICKSTARTER rewards start a $1, $3, $10 and up, which include: Animated & Bold Moks Nix live playing card decks, Exclusive Moks Nix live socks, Moks Nix theme music for digital download, stickers, Moks Nix live 3D animated playing card Animation character creation and more.

April Is National Financial Literacy Month and Bellevue, Washington Certified Financial Planner™ professional Steve Juetten notes that there are five investing basics every investor needs to know — especially when time is in short supply.

April 29, 2016 /MM-prReach/ —

April Is National Financial Literacy Month and Bellevue, Washington CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ professional Steve Juetten notes that there are five investing basics every investor needs to know — especially when time is in short supply.

1. Risk and return are related. While many investors are looking for get rich quick schemes and short cuts, Juetten reminds investors that there is no such thing as a free lunch. If an investor wants to have more potential for return, the investor has to be prepared for more risk. This is one reason Juetten is such a strong believer in the investment approach called asset class investing. It’s a time-tested way to balance risk and return that allows the investor to stop guessing about investing and start making informed investment decisions.

2. No one can predict the future. It’s tempting to try to pick the new Apple or Google stock, but no one can guess the future Juetten cautions. Because all the information about a company is available to everyone at the same time, trying to guess which stock is going to do better than any other stock is pure speculation. It’s like trying to predict which tree in the forest is going to grow fastest. Instead, says Juetten, why not just buy the whole forest? Asset class investing does just that. Rather than speculating on what might happen, the asset class investor chooses different asset classes and divides money among them. That way, the investor is being both efficient and effective with using their investment dollars wisely.

3. Keep it simple. Investing is simple, but not easy, Juetten believes. Due to the efforts of the financial media and the Wall Street money machine, too many people think investing has to be complicated and take lots of time. That’s not true Juetten responds. There are only a few basic principles of investing that an investor needs to follow to create success. His simple rules include saving early, not putting all of the eggs in one basket, staying the course, and keeping costs low. Juetten says that if investors just do a few things well, they will be better off than the majority of investors.

“A good investment plan needs to be simple enough to understand and stick with when markets are volatile or when investments are in a downward trend. Juetten says, when it comes to investing, the simpler solution is usually better one. Investing doesn’t have to be complex to be effective,”  Juetten says.

4. Know the cost of investing. This is one part of financial literacy that everyone needs to know and understand, Juetten explains. The reason this is important is that every dollar the investor pays in fees and expenses is a dollar that reduces the return of the investment. In other words, the fees and expenses come out of the investor’s pocket and go into the hands of the mutual fund companies, brokers and investment advisers. Juetten warns that it’s not easy to determine  the total cost for investing. Besides the obvious like mutual fund expenses, there are hidden costs, too. To be financially literate, investors need to ask their advisers lots of questions about fees and costs.

5. Recognize the behaviors that lead to success. Juetten tells new investors that one key to financial literacy is recognizing their self-defeating behaviors. Juetten says that most investors sabotage their own success by trading too often, doing what everyone else is doing, changing investment approaches, and following hot tips. Instead, the wise and successful investor by practicing the three P’s: perspective, persistence and patience.

Cerebrum Health Centers, a leading integrative medical facility for brain health treatment and rehabilitation, today announced professional Mixed Martial Arts fighter, Diego Sanchez, recently visited the facility for Cerebrum’s sports performance optimization program, which is designed to provide athletes an edge over their competition. Based on his improvement, Sanchez publicly expressed his support for the company while emphasizing the importance of brain health following his victory over Jim Miller at UFC 196.

In the video, Sanchez says that by working with Cerebrum, his performance has greatly improved in a short time, and he encourages other athletes to explore how the sports performance optimization program can improve their training. He explains further how Cerebrum wants to bring awareness to the importance of brain health, which is very important to him and also to his sport as a whole.

While Diego is not battling the effects of a concussion, Cerebrum has been able to showcase how the innovative sports performance optimization program helps athletes execute at a higher level.”

A “phone only” option is now available to clients taking advantage of SearchBug’s Data Cleansing Service which “Appends Phone Numbers, Names, and Addresses to US Business and Consumer Lists Service.”

April 29, 2016 /MM-prReach/ —

Encinitas, CA – May 3, 2016

SearchBug.com, a leading online service for finding people, businesses, addresses, phone numbers and more, has announced a new “phone only” option for clients using its data cleansing service “Append Phone Number, Name and Address to US Business and Consumer Lists” service.

Here’s how the new search option works: clients simply select the phone only option after uploading a file containing their data. SearchBug then scours dozens of premium sources, including social media profiles, for home, cell and work phone numbers that match the information to search by in the uploaded file.

“The new Phone Numbers Only option works with any list that contains a person’s first and last names and some location details, such as full street address, or city and state or just state,” said Noah Wieder of SearchBug.

The hit rate for the Phone Numbers Only option is approximately twice as high compared to the regular service. The main reason for this increase is that SearchBug premium sources include both work and cell phone numbers in additional to the landline numbers used for the standard service. The service returns and appends up to five (5) matching numbers for each record.

Wieder added that the new phone only option should not be used for data cleansing of business lists.

The standard data cleansing service “Append Phone Number, Name and Address to US Business and Consumer Lists” searches over 15 million business records from public directories and private sources as well as 220 million consumer records from public directories and private sources for such things as name, phone number, address, city, state and more.

Data uncovered by the cleansing service is validated by numerous proprietary processes with frequent NCOA updates for both business and consumer data.

Jacuzzi Spas Dealer Serving Tigard and Portland Shares “Springtime Planning for an Outdoor Entertainment Area in Your Backyard.” Offers Free Hot Tub Test Soaks to Local Residents

April 29, 2016 /MM-prReach/ —

Jacuzzi Hot Tubs of Portland serving Tigard and Portland, Oregon publishes “Springtime Planning for an Outdoor Entertainment Area in Your Backyard.”

Sue Rogers, President of Jacuzzi Spas of Portland said “A backyard can simply be a grass lawn, or it can be a fun and exciting entertainment area for outdoor fun. With a little planning it is easy to turn any backyard into an oasis for family fun and parties with friends.” Here are three tips for planning an outdoor entertainment area that will be the envy of the neighborhood.

Make a Drawing to Plan It Perfectly – Take all the guesswork out of planning an entertainment area by sitting down and planning out what can be done in the space available. It will save a lot of time and maneuvering later on, and allow for the development of ideas without strain and undue expense. Measure the space available and map it out on paper in appropriate measurements. Make sure to allow for plenty of relaxation areas, and surround them with beautiful plants or container gardens.

When planning for large appliances, built in kitchens, grills or pools, make sure the land or patio base can support them. It is also important to make sure local regulations are understood and get proper approvals from zoning departments before doing any large-scale improvements.

Add Structure for Visual Appeal – A flat space is a lot less interesting than an area with varied structures and plants. Plan the backyard area around sections that can be divided by planted spots or special pieces of lawn decoration such as small water falls, large rocks or boulders and make paths around them with pavers or gravel.

Along with structure, each section should have a place to relax and a place to get out of the sun. As wonderful as nature is, and as welcome as the sun is after a long winter, too much sun is not a good thing. Add garden umbrellas to table areas, or freestanding umbrellas over chairs to friends and family can have a cool place to relax and enjoy the outdoors.

Add Entertainment to the Backyard with a Tigard Hot Tub – It’s great to relax outside, but having a Tigard hot tub gives people both relaxation and fun. The invigorating water is an instant draw, and makes a great place to gather when enjoying the company of friends and family. The temperature controlled heat makes it comfortable without effort, and the pulsating jets will soothe tired, sore muscles and joints.

Built-in lighting systems make hot tubs even more fun and allow people to extend their enjoyment well into the evening. The National Sleep Foundation suggests soaking in hot water like that of a hot tub 30 minutes before bed to get to sleep quicker and sleep better. Lighting helps make that possible. Other entertainment systems are also available to make hot tubs the ultimate entertainment center for outdoor fun. Adding televisions or stereo systems to the installation of a hot tub is a great way to spend time with loved ones and enjoy the outdoors.

For extra use, place the hot tub under a gazebo or patio overhang and enjoy the warm, luxurious water in any weather, rain or shine, and even during a snow storm in the winter.

To encourage local residents to check out the benefits of using a Jacuzzi Spa to help improve their overall health and well-being, Jacuzzi Hot Tub of Portland is providing free test soaks at their Portland Outlet Store and Beaverton showrooms. They do recommend however that people wanting to schedule their free 30-minute soak call them ahead of time at 503-277-2170 to reserve their spot.
