In her ‘Memoirs’ of 1838, Madame Marie Tussaud recounts how she was forced to take wax impressions of the newly severed heads of her royal friends Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette; and then with her head shaved she awaited her own execution with the beautiful Josephine Beauharnais, future Empress of France. Fortunate to survive, she travelled to England with her collection of macabre wax casts, and established the “Baker Street Bazaar”, so creating the Waxworks Museum that has made her name immortal.”

Screwfix Offers Spring Savings to See You into the Summer

Screwfix Offers Spring Savings to See You into the Summer

Screwfix has given its product range a spring clean and dusted down its already extensive portfolio to launch its latest catalogue with a boosted landscape section and the addition of new exclusive products and deals and savings across the board.

(PRWeb UK) March 26, 2011

The second catalogue of the year, Catalogue 105 is available from 14th March and will feature key additions to ranges such as cleaning, landscaping, heating and cooling and electrical.

Cleaning:

In the spirit of the season, Catalogue 105 has the tools for the most ardent of spring cleaning tasks, the updated models of Karcher pressure washers offering improved motor technology, design and functionality. Meanwhile, new products in the Nilfisk Alto range deliver great results and represent great value.

Landscaping:

New brand Solo makes its debut, with its robust landscaping products already well-known in the field, and Toro joins with its leading range of lawnmowers.

The mighty Makita also joins the landscaping line-up, with Line Trimmers, Chainsaws, Hedge Trimmers and Blowers available, whilst Bahco brings its new tools to the range, including pruners, loppers and edging shears.

Electrical:

Exclusively available to Screwfix, a new range of decorative and white wiring accessories from the LAP brand enhances the electrical range, with an improved page layout employed for this category making it easier for trade customers to shop.

Plumbing, heating and bathrooms:

Polyplumb plastic push fit fittings boost the plumbing offering in Catalogue 105, adding to the push fit system range and are complimentary to polybutylene pipe for use with domestic hot and cold water and heating systems.

In the heating and cooling section, Vent-Axia Lo-Carbon fans comply to Part L building regulations, so are low wattage, consume less power and will prove a must for cost-conscious workers.

John Mewett, Marketing Director at Screwfix, comments: "With spring around the corner, we know that our landscapers, gardeners and outdoor workers are becoming busier and overhauling their equipment after a long winter, so the key additions in our outdoor ranges should see them well into the summer.

"With a fantastic selection of products throughout Catalogue 105, we hope that the latest edition from Screwfix will enable our trade and DIY customers to continually achieve great results at great value prices."

For more information visit http://www.screwfix.com, call 0500 41 41 41 or pick up a copy of the new catalogue at your local Screwfix trade counter from 14th March.

“More Time for Politics: Diaries 2001-2007″ Audiobook Download Now Available

Posted: 26 Mar 2011 02:02 AM PDT

More Time for Politics: Diaries 2001-2007 is available as a digital audiobook from Audible.com. The title, provided by Random House AudioBooks and authored by Tony Benn, has also become an American Consumer News favorite..

The digital audiobook More Time for Politics: Diaries 2001-2007, narrated by Tony Benn, has received an average rating of 5 stars on Audible.com. The title has a running length of 4 hours and 43 min. The audiobook was first released in November 2007 and a sample is available for download.

Audible.com’s description of the audiobook is “When Tony Benn left Parliament after 51 years, he quoted his wife Caroline’s remark that now he would have “more time for politics”. And so this has proved: in the first seven years of this century, he helped reinvigorate national debate through public meetings, mass campaigns, and appearances in the media, passionately bringing moral and political issues to wide audiences. And throughout, as ever, he has been keeping his diaries.Commenting on the demise of the New Labour project, from the re-election of Tony Blair in 2001 to the ultimate foreign policy disasters of Afghanistan and Iraq, he gives other prescient accounts of the government’s by-passing of Cabinet, parliament, and the party, of the “war on terror”, the debate about Islam, globalisation, and the changes in British society. Although he is no longer in power or in parliament, Tony Benn remains a figure of enormous respect whose direct views, honestly expressed, have often awakened the national conscience. His latest diaries, human and challenging in turn, are enthralling.”

Scottish Sportswear Company Brings Brasil-inspired Brand to the UK

Online retailer RSK Sports has signed an exclusive partnership deal with VATA Brasil, the unique activewear and yoga apparel brand.

(PRWeb UK) March 26, 2011

Known for its innovative approach to sports clothing, RSK Sports now distributes and sells this range of women's fitness clothing throughout the UK and Ireland. Designed in Vancouver and manufactured in Brasil, this is the first time this exotic brand has reached our shores.

Raymond Simpson, managing director of RSK Sports said: "The United Kingdom's improving economy and retailers wanting to take advantage of the active wear and yoga apparel trends makes business both possible and very attractive for new and exciting labels like VATA Brasil.

"We are very excited to have this chance to work with VATA Brasil, and to bring this exclusive range of active wear to the wholesale and retail markets of the UK and Ireland. The brand is well known for its style, comfortable fit and performance – and we are sure that the quality and flair of the products will prove to be very popular here."

As sole distributor, RSK Sports will be able to distribute VATA Brasil clothing wholesale to companies throughout the UK and Ireland, as well as sell directly to customers through its online store.

"We've long been interested in expanding in the European Market, and more recently, we've received increasing expressions of interest from Specialty Sport retailers, fitness centres, spas, yoga studios, and department stores in major urban UK centres," said Daniel Langevin, Chief Operating Officer, VATA Brasil.

"Working with RSK Sports gives us a distribution base to satisfy retailer demands for quick order shipping and replenishment throughout the UK," said Mario Gomes, CEO of VATA Brasil.

This brand is a distinctive line of active wear infused with Brasilian style and flair. Using OneFit technology in the fabric, the clothing is flexible, supportive and extremely comfortable. Bold colours and sexy, cutting-edge design all packaged in a one-size-fits-most concept for women sized 0 – 12, VATA Brasil is also a highly desirable fashion label.

VATA Brasil's designs have already been recognized by organizations internationally, and the company operates showrooms and distribution facilities in Vancouver, Seoul, Korea, Miami, Florida and now the United Kingdom, as well as being represented throughout the USA, Denmark, Australia and the Caribbean.

Mr Simpson commented: "What attracts me to VATA Brasil is not only the fact they are the active wear of choice for top celebrities such as Kim Kardashian and Mel B, but also the unique OneFit fabric, which is a first for the UK. This is why I am so confident companies and individuals will want to be associated with this brand."

Signature Makes Senior Appointments to Aid Expansion Plans in the South of England

Signature Makes Senior Appointments to Aid Expansion Plans in the South of England

Signature Senior Lifestyle has made a raft of appointments as the company proceeds with major expansion plans over the next few years.

(PRWEB UK) 26 March 2011

Signature Senior Lifestyle has made a raft of appointments as the company proceeds with major expansion plans over the next few years.

The company is developing a new concept in care homes with nursing by creating communities where residents have their own individual apartments with care available as and when needed through individual "bespoke" care plans. Signature currently runs three homes, with another due to open later this year. A further three new developments at Bushey, Epsom and Brentwood are awaiting planning approval, with expected construction starts within the next year. Several additional projects are in earlier stages of development.

Penny West is the new Operations Director for the South of England, having joined from the private hospital sector. Her general managerial skills and wide range of operations and healthcare experience, including overseeing new property openings, will support Signature's major new development programme in the South.

Penny will focus on supporting the operation of Signature's existing community at Herne Bay, Kent, which includes a 24 unit expansion project currently under construction, and on recruiting and supporting high quality teams for the new communities under development. She will also help in further developing processes and programmes to support "The Signature Way" of providing excellent and bespoke personalised care and services to residents.

Two new Home General Managers have been appointed. Creenagh Williamson is the General Manager of Moorlands Lodge, a 97 unit property currently under construction at Hindhead, Surrey. It is planned to open in the autumn.

Creenagh has come to Signature from an acute nursing environment as the matron of emergency services at a large general hospital. Prior to becoming a nurse, Creenagh trained as a project manager in the construction industry, where she developed an in depth knowledge and understanding of management. She has a keen interest in teaching and person development.

Tina Thomas has joined Signature as General Manager of The Miramar home at Beltinge, near Herne Bay on the Kent coast. Tina is a registered nurse and has a wide range of experience within the health and social care industries, spanning a period of more than thirty years. Tina has worked in care homes, hospitals, domiciliary care and nursing agencies.

For five years she was a regulatory inspector for the NCSC/CSCI, the predecessors of the Care Quality Commission, before working in the private care home sector as a business development manager and then as head of quality assurance for another care home operator.

The fourth appointment is Sadie Barker, who joins as Corporate Human Resources Manager. Sadie is an HR generalist with a successful track record of delivering results in multi–site care home operations. Her strategic focus will be to help ensure Signature is the 'Employer of Choice' in the senior care business in the UK.

Tom Newell, Chief Executive of Signature Senior Living, said: "I am delighted to welcome these exceptional and dedicated operating professionals to the Signature team. Signature is creating a new care home with nursing approach by developing homes that become true communities, with residents having the privacy of their own apartments while enjoying as full a social life as they wish with fellow residents. Care is available as and when needed."

"Following completion of our development equity fundraising last autumn, we are focused on ensuring that as we grow – and we are expecting to double in size and then double again over the next several years – we will continue delivering the very best environments and services for the people who will make our communities their home."

NOTES TO EDITORS

“The Girls In The Band” Swings Into History In A New Documentary Funded By Friends And Fans Through Indiegogo.com

Posted: 26 Mar 2011 01:12 AM PDT

"The Girls In The Band" Swings Into History In A New Documentary Funded By Friends And Fans Through Indiegogo.com

They wiggled, they jiggled, they wore low cut gowns and short shorts, they kow-towed to the club owners and smiled at the customers…and they did it all, just to play the music they loved.

Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) March 26, 2011

THE GIRLS IN THE BAND tells the poignant, untold stories of female jazz and big band instrumentalists and their fascinating, groundbreaking journeys from the late '30s to the present day.  These incredibly talented women endured sexism, racism and diminished opportunities for decades, yet continue today to persevere, inspire and elevate their talents in a field that seldom welcomed them.

In the thirties and forties, hundreds of women musicians toured the country in glamorous All-Girl Bands, while others played side by side with their male counterparts.  Yet by the mid-fifties female big band and jazz musicians had literally disappeared from the workplace; their names, their contributions to music, completely forgotten.    What ever happened to these women?  THE GIRLS IN THE BAND reveals their fascinating history and reminds us that women are still out there doing what they love best.  Featured in the film are noted contemporary artists like Geri Allen, Toshiko Akiyoshi, Lil Hardin Armstrong, Jane Ira Bloom, Joanne Brackeen, Terri Lyne Carrington, Anat Cohen, Herbie Hancock, Ingrid Jensen, Melba Liston, Sherrie Maricle, Marian McPartland, Patrice Rushen, Maria Schneider, Dr. Billy Taylor, Hiromi Uehara, Mary Lou Williams, The Diva Jazz Orchestra and Esperanza Spalding, who the gifted bass player/singer who was just named new artist of the year at the 2011 Grammy Awards. A world-class production team, Director/Producer/Writer Judy Chaikin, Executive Produce/Producer Michael Greene, Producer, Nancy Kissock and Editor/Writer Edward Osei-Gyimah.

"The Girls In The Band" are in the home-stretch, due to the generosity and support of their many friends and fans, they've raised $10,580 of our $15,000 goal for the final editing of THE GIRLS IN THE BAND. 

They need to raise the remaining $4,420 for the mastering, duplication, art work and packaging of the film.  While that may not seem like a large amount, it's what stands between where they are now and the all-important step of getting the film out into the world.

"Our worldwide jazz community is jumping on the bandwagon of this wonderful project for it is informative historical education and extremely entertaining" says Jaijai Jackson, creator of The Jazz Network Worldwide.

 

There is so much interest in the film and so many offers to screen it for museums, jazz festivals and educational organizations (including the Smithsonian Institution) that we know there is an eager audience awaiting the release date.  We've asked all of those organizations to please have patience with us until we finish this last step.  Will you help us get there?

 

There's only a few short days left on our fundraising drive.  If you've been thinking of supporting the film but haven't done so yet, now is the time!  Please let us add your name to our list of Angel Funders by making a TAX-DEDUCTIBLE contribution to our Indiegogo Fundraising drive. To donate go to: http://thegirlsintheband.com/filmmakers.html. To learn more about the production team go to http://www.thegirlsintheband.com.

Atlas Plumbing San Francisco Helps Stop Rainy Season Sewage Backups

Atlas Plumbing San Francisco Helps Stop Rainy Season Sewage Backups

Atlas Plumbing and Rooter, a San Francisco-based plumbing services company, explains that all the rain hitting the Bay Area lately can cause sewers to back up. They are helping homeowners clean their drains and avoid a hazardous and embarrassing situation by offering drain cleaning for only $69.

San Francisco, CA (Vocus/PRWEB) March 26, 2011

It's the height of rainy season, and storms have been pounding the Bay Area lately. Rainstorms bring much-needed water to forests and reservoirs, but they also cause serious problems, including backups in old and under-maintained sewer lines. Local governmental are asking homeowners to do their part by keeping their private sewer lines (lateral lines) clean. To help homeowners out, Atlas Plumbing and Rooter, a leader in sewer line regular maintenance and fixing clogged drains in San Francisco, is offering lateral sewer line cleaning for only $69 during regular business hours.

"It's a good idea to maintain drains regularly," said Joel Ledesma of Atlas Plumbing. "It is never a good idea to wait until there is a problem like the pipes getting clogged, but it is especially important now because it's the rainy season."

The Bay Area has many beautiful old homes, but unfortunately their private sewer lines (lateral lines) tend to be the same age as the houses. Deb Self, the Executive Director of SF Baykeeper, told the Larkspur-Corte Madera Patch, "You have rain water getting into the pipes. It's supposed to be separate but in reality, we have a lot of rainwater moving through ground and encountering these cracked pipes." All that extra rainwater leaking in combined with the debris it washes into drains is a major cause of sewage backups.

"Many older homes in San Francisco have damaged or broken sewer lines running from or near them," said Ledesma.

That's why the Association of Bay Area Governments (ABAG) is asking Bay Area homeowners to clean out their lateral sewer lines this rainy season. Atlas Plumbing and Rooter can help homeowners do their part by giving free estimates offering the discount on lateral pipe cleaning. Atlas uses environmentally-friendly drain cleaners, and clears drains and sewers in the most efficient way possible.

Atlas Plumbing guarantees its work, gives free estimates and offers to beat any written quote. Repairs are available 24 hours a day.

For more information about rainy season sewage backups, the $69 special on lateral drain cleaning or any other plumbing issue, contact Atlas Plumbing at (415) 644-5742 or visit their website at http://www.atlasplumbersf.com/.

William Penn University Partners with Local Businesses to Collect Clothing, Food for Afghan Children

Posted: 26 Mar 2011 01:04 AM PDT

William Penn University Partners with Local Businesses to Collect Clothing, Food for Afghan Children

There's nothing that an army of volunteers, students, community members and U.S. Armed Forces cannot do to change the lives of those less fortunate in the foothills of Afghanistan. And a small, Iowa liberal arts college community is doing just that: changing Afghan children's lives one coat, pair of shoes and pad of paper at a time.

West Des Moines, Iowa (Vocus/PRWEB) March 26, 2011

There's nothing that an army of volunteers, students, community members and U.S. Armed Forces cannot do to change the lives of those less fortunate in the foothills of Afghanistan. And a small, Iowa liberal arts college community is doing just that: changing Afghan children's lives one coat, pair of shoes and pad of paper at a time.

William Penn University's College for Working Adults (CWA) in West Des Moines, Iowa, is in the midst of a large collection drive, seeking quality used coats, boots, blankets and bulk dry food to help Afghan children. Large companies, such as Lowe's, Knapp Properties and American Equity Investment Life Insurance Company, in the Des Moines metropolitan area have pledged supplies and help to the cause. Under the direction of businessman and William Penn instructor Rob Elgin, donations have been pouring in. The goal is to fill a 2,000-pound container, bound for Afghanistan's most rugged terrain, by March 31.

The 2,000-pound container will hold school supplies, clothing, books and a whole lot of hope. To add a personal touch to the cause, volunteers and donors are asked to include letters of encouragement for local children with self-addressed, stamped envelopes for their responses. The postage cost is the U.S. domestic rate of 44 cents. For children growing up in the war-torn nation, Afghanistan is one of the most dangerous places in the world:

  •     Twenty percent will die before age five, falling victim to malnutrition, hypothermia or war-related hazards.
  •     The remainder of the population grows up constantly fighting for survival, searching for food as they struggle in the bitter, Afghanistan winters.

"Military programs are trying to win the hearts of Afghan citizens, and there is no better way of doing this than by helping to save the lives of their children," said Elgin.

To participate or for more information, contact CWA's Sherill Whisenand at (515) 222-9949, ext. 1348, or e-mail sherill(dot)whisenand(at)cwa(dot)wmpenn(dot)edu.

William Penn University is a liberal arts university, based in Oskaloosa, Iowa, with nontraditional campuses in West Des Moines and Ankeny, Iowa. William Penn University provides the opportunity for an educational experience that focuses on leadership, technology and the Quaker principles of simplicity, peacemaking, integrity, community and equality.

The Manor House was built in 1742 and renovated in 1987 by Shenandoah Crossing to create a venue for gatherings and celebrations within the resort. Improvements continued to be made over the years, but the rustic charm of the historic building remains within the walls.

Anastasia Belk adds, "What better way to start your walk down the aisle than with a horse and carriage ride up the Manor House driveway towards your outdoor ceremony overlooking Lake Izac."

CareAnyware Deepens ROI for Ohio Home Care Customers by Eliminating Data Entry for PASSPORT Claim Submission

CareAnyware Deepens ROI for Ohio Home Care Customers by Eliminating Data Entry for PASSPORT Claim Submission

After passing a rigorous testing program for the electronic submission of claims, CareAnyware, Inc., is pleased to announce that Ohio home care agencies can now use its software to electronically submit PASSPORT claims.

Research Triangle Park, NC (Vocus/PRWEB) March 26, 2011

CareAnyware, Inc., the leading provider of web-based home care and hospice software solutions, has automated the process for Ohio home care agencies to submit PASSPORT claims through CareAnyware's home care software solution. PASSPORT, a Medicaid waiver program that prevents unnecessary nursing home placement, had presented Ohio home care agencies with yet another set of data to manually input. Customers using the CareAnyware system will now be able to automatically process PASSPORT claims directly and electronically, without duplicate data entry.

"We are thrilled with the electronic claim submissions that CareAnyware's software offers, and the newly added automation for the PASSPORT program will save us 20 hours of manual data entry per week which adds up to thousands of dollars of savings a year. CareAnyware has now provided us with a way to bill for PASSPORT services quickly and efficiently and thus deepens the return on investment we are getting from using CareAnyware," said Sandy Parshall, COO of First Choice Home Health in Cleveland, OH.

PASSPORT, a program sponsored through the Ohio Department of Aging, allows the elderly to choose in-home health care services in lieu of institutionalization. About 27,500 Ohioans receive PASSPORT services every day. The program was designed to curb the skyrocketing costs of nursing home placement, and has become increasingly attractive to seniors who prefer the comfort and dignity of their own homes.

CareAnyware's comprehensive software provides all the formatting for paper and electronic PASSPORT claim processing, allowing Ohio home care organizations to abandon the laborious manual data entry process. To integrate this service into its software, CareAnyware passed a rigorous testing program for the electronic submission of claims.

About CareAnyware, Inc.

CareAnyware, Inc., based in Cary, North Carolina, is the leading provider of web-based home care and hospice software solutions. By streamlining and integrating point-of-care and administrative activities—data entry, payment information capture, billing, reporting, and information exchange—CareAnyware clients can focus time and energy on providing higher quality care, improving patient outcomes, and managing business performance. And, unlike traditional home care and hospice management software, CareAnyware's comprehensive web-based solution is offered as a monthly subscription service that accelerates implementation times, reduces ongoing maintenance, and keeps the focus on patient care.

For almost two years, Dean of Business Programs at PGS Dr. Sandra Upton and Executive Director of Sunset Retirement Community and PGS Adjunct Professor Chad Tuttle conducted focus groups, designed courses and recruited faculty for this program. Now, adults will have the opportunity to become industry leaders with Cornerstone's Health Care MBA.

"This is a practitioner's program. The health care industry told us what they wanted and we have created a program to answer that (need)," said Upton.

Chyrisha Brown, Cornerstone alumna and former University of Michigan Hospital employee, recently moved back to her hometown of Grand Rapids, Mich., in part to be near family and in part because of the new Health Care MBA program.

"I knew an MBA would open a lot of doors and I knew I wanted to work in health care; then I heard about the program and talked to admissions counselor Leslie Iverson. It's all falling together in a way no one could have structured," said Brown. "What stands out are the program's faith component and its cultural perspective."

The core needs of the industry and components of the Health Care MBA include business acumen, cultural intelligence, leadership skills and global perspective. Cornerstone adds a Christian perspective to both deepen and broaden its distinctive program. The program's aim is two-fold: to provide leadership development for clinicians who want to expand their skills (e.g., doctors, nurses, lab technicians) and a health care focus for those already trained in business leadership.

"We want to help health care businesses position themselves with a great pool of employees. We want to train individuals just entering the field, but also help grow employees who are already there," said Upton.

The Health Care MBA is an accelerated, 18-month, 39-credit program that provides baseline business administration skills with a health care focus. For example, a finance course may examine third-party payments and hospital operating budgets. Throughout the program, students take one course at a time, one night a week. Also, students begin and end the program with the same cohort of students. In addition, each student must participate in a 10-day overseas trip to Central Europe, China or South Africa where they visit hospitals and attend business meetings and cultural events.

Brown is excited about gaining global experience, eager to put her classroom knowledge into action. Real-world experience is part of what drew her to the program.

"Global is exactly where it's going," said Brown. "I'll get to apply the things I learn, and not just right outside my back door."

As a leader in the health care industry, Tuttle is thrilled with the program. "There are lots of MBA programs out there, but Cornerstone and PGS have spent much time finding out what is specifically needed in the workplace. I can point people toward a program such as this as the next step in their careers. And I know a lot of people in the industry who are thrilled as well."
