Wi-Ex Showcases Latest zBoost Cell Phone Signal Boosters at 2013 IWCE: New zBoost Cell Phone Signal Booster Kits Help Rural Areas Put an End To Missed Calls and Slow Data

Las Vegas, NV (PRWEB) March 13, 2013

Wi-Ex, a leading provider of consumer and commercial cell phone signal booster kits, showcased today its zBoost line of cell phone signal booster including its higher-gain rural products, its new LTE data booster, DataBlast(TM) and its vehicle signal data booster, zForce, at the International Wireless Communications Expo in booth # 2904.

With hospitals, police departments and other public safety entities already benefitting from our zBoost products, we see IWCE as an opportunity to expand our presence in this area which relies heavily on a strong indoor cell phone signal, said Frankie Smith, director of sales and channel strategy at Wi-Ex. As we saw in the recent FCC ruling regarding cell phone signal boosters, public safety organizations are already relying on this technology to stay connected with voice and data. Since we have always used technology to protect the providers network, we see the recent ruling as a validation of our technology and products and encourages us to continue research and investment in the area of enhancing the cell phone signal.

Recent industry statistics reveal that more than 77 percent of cell phone Internet users experience slow download speeds that prevent things from loading as quickly as they would like and another 72 percent experienced dropped calls at least occasionally (Pew Research Center, 2012). The zBoost line prevents inefficient time spent on dropped calls and slow data, providing IWCE professionals across all industries efficient communication efforts through strong signal.

The complete zBoost product line consists of signal boosting technology for the home, office, commercial buildings, car and travel. Units come kit complete with an easy set-up solution. All zBoost products protect the carrier network using patented technology. Products on display at IWCE include:

Yourwellness Magazine Explores Effects of Vitamin C Deficiency During Pregnancy

London, UK (PRWEB UK) 22 May 2013

According to a small new study, presented last week at the Paediatric Academic Societies’ annual meeting in Washington, DC, vitamin C may help prevent lung problems in babies born to mothers who smoke during pregnancy. 159 women, who were less than 22 weeks pregnant and unable to quit smoking, were randomly assigned to take either one 500-milligram capsule of vitamin C or a placebo each day for the remainder of their pregnancy. During their first year, wheezing was reported in 21% of infants whose mothers took vitamin C and in 40% of infants whose mothers took the placebo.

In an American Academy of Paediatrics news release, study co-author Dr. Eliot Spindel, a senior scientist at the Oregon National Primate Research Centre at Oregon Health & Science University, commented, “Getting women to quit smoking during pregnancy has to be priority one, but this finding provides a way to potentially help the infants born of the roughly 50% of pregnant smokers who won’t or can’t quit smoking no matter what is tried.” (http://www.healthfinder.gov/News/Article/675934/for-pregnant-smokers-vitamin-c-might-help-babies-lungs)

With this in mind, Yourwellness Magazine reported on the impact of vitamin C deficiency on a foetus. According to Yourwellness Magazine, research shows that vitamin C deficiency during pregnancy can have harmful consequences on the brain of the unborn child, and once this damage has occurred, the brain cannot be restored to full health after birth with supplements. Yourwellness Magazine noted that this research highlights the importance of a balanced diet during pregnancy.

Yourwellness Magazine explained, Once the damage has been caused to the foetus, it cant be repaired after birth. The initial results from the study proved that the damage is invariably caused in the first trimester of pregnancy. Some people are more susceptible to vitamin C deficiency, namely those who eat a poor diet and those who smoke. The article added that women dont need to worry about a vitamin C deficiency if they eat a varied and healthy diet during pregnancy, avoid cigarettes and alcohol, and take a multivitamin supplement.

Smoking Cessation Hypnosis Program from Natural Hypnosis Guarantees Results

Beverly Hills, California (PRWEB) April 21, 2013

Earlier this week the online hypnosis website Natural Hypnosis launched a new product; a series of hypnosis sessions recorded by hypnotist Brennan Smith. The six hypnosis sessions are called “Smoking Cessation”. They gradually and naturally create new emotional and mental patterns that help change the old ones that the listeners associate with smoking, while the later sessions help smokers quit smoking cigarettes for good.

According to Natural Hypnosis, the reason most people fail at stopping smoking is because every single person has a different experience of smoking. Every person has a different reason for smoking, a different first memory of smoking, a different emotional reaction to smoking, and a different experience of quitting.

This makes it so much harder, as conventional advice or even supports such as nicotine replacement therapy (in the form of chewing gum, patches etc.) might work great for one person but not at all for another.

Some people might really struggle in the first few days, while others find that easy but struggle with willpower one or two weeks later, and some even quit for months but then find themselves smoking again after just one.

The reason hypnosis can work so well it because it unifies a persons experience.

There are certain characteristics shared by people who manage to successfully quit smoking; they find it easier, they don’t reminisce on the enjoyment they used to experience but they look forwards to the positives of quitting such as clear lungs and increased health. They don’t suffer from cravings as much, and something just clicks in their mind and they know they have quit forever and won’t go back. But that is not the case for the majority.

The smoking cessation program was developed to help other people to have this similar, easier experience of quitting smoking too.

The six sessions are designed to end a persons slavery to cigarettes, with the first session aiming to create new emotional patterns to set the foundation for success. The second session builds upon the first and creates new mental patterns, while the third session is the one is intended to free people from smoking once and for all.

Aim of the fourth session is to strengthen the resolve so that it can reinforce all the positive changes that were made. By the fifth session it should all become easier and easier, which is incidentally exactly how the fifth session is named. The sixth and final session sets the mindset into the distant future, where it helps a person truly feel and know that they have quit smoking forever.

Mothers Workplace Exposures During Pregnancy Cause Risk of Cleft Lip in Children

Lawrence, KS (PRWEB) April 18, 2013

Cleft Palate-Craniofacial Journal The first study in human subjects has shown what studies with mice had already founda mothers exposure to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons is associated with a greater risk of her child having a cleft lip. Workplace exposure, primarily through inhaling the smoke of burning substances, carries this significant risk.

The case-control study, presented in Cleft Palate-Craniofacial Journal, included 2,989 control subjects, 805 cases of cleft lip with or without cleft palate, and 439 cases of cleft palate alone. It used data over a five-year period from the National Birth Defects Prevention Study.

The burning of coal, tobacco, and other substances creates polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. Occupations involving coke ovens, coal tar use, iron and steel works, carbon electrode production, and asphalt manufacturing are likely sources of exposure. Restaurants are another, more commonplace, source of exposure. Cigarette smoke, even secondhand, has already been established as a major source of exposure, showing a moderate association with clefts in earlier studies.

Mothers in this study participated in a computer-assisted telephone interview. Questions included maternal illnesses, medication use, pregnancy history, diet, and alcohol and tobacco use.

Additionally, the subjects supplied information about the jobs they held during preconception and pregnancy. Industrial hygienists assessed the occupational exposure these women experienced. The workplace exposure considered was limited to a period between one month prior to conception and three months after conception.

Those determined to be occupationally exposed to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons represented 3.5 percent of the control cases, 5.8 percent of the cleft lip cases, and 4.6 percent of the cleft palate cases. This study established a significant connection between maternal exposure to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and the development of cleft lip or cleft lip and palate in the child. The association was not statistically significant for cleft palate alone, however.

Full text of the article, Maternal Occupational Exposure to Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons and Risk of Oral Cleft-Affected Pregnancies, Cleft Palate-Craniofacial Journal, Vol. 50, No. 3, May 2013, is available at http://www.cpcjournal.org/doi/full/10.1597/12-104.

Walker Metalsmiths Publishes Modern History of Celtic Jewelry Book

Andover, NY (PRWEB) May 14, 2013

Walker Metalsmiths announces the release of The Modern History of Celtic Jewellery; 1840-1980. The book contains chapters by two historians, Mairi MacArthur from Scotland and Tara Kelly from Ireland, as well as an American Celtic jeweler, Stephen Walker and Irish silversmith and jewelry maker Aidan Breen.

Originally conceived as the illustrated catalog for an exhibition of the same name, the book examines both Scottish and Irish jewelry from the 19th century Celtic Revival through more recent developments in the 20th century. The traditions of interlaced endless knot designs, ringed Celtic crosses, spirals and abstract animal motifs can be traced back to early medieval styles. The glorious artistic accomplishments created by Celtic craftsmen more than a thousand years ago, such as the Book of Kells and the Tara Brooch, became the source of inspiration for modern designers.

There has been resurgence of popularity for Celtic jewelry in the past twenty years. Contemporary consumers understand it as many things, from souvenirs of vacations or festivals, as reproductions of ancient artifacts and as heirlooms in a traditional style that express their family heritage. Stephen Walker states in his introduction, Even when the modern designer creates something new and original, if that creation is done in the traditional style, our cultural inclination treats it as if it is already old, and that its authenticity must flow from a prototype in the past. Despite the fact that the truly fluent use of Celtic design and ornament is creative and original, the habit of viewing it all as something ancient is a strong one.

The book is a long overdue examination of the recent history of Celtic jewelry. The authors examine the craftsmen and entrepreneurs who have, in modern times, restored and added to this living artistic tradition.

Aidan Breen writes an autobiographical account of his career that began with a traditional apprenticeship in 1959 with old school Dublin silversmiths and tells of how his Celtic design jewelry caught on as just as he made the transition from working as a chaser for the firm Irish Silver to being an independent designer-craftsman.

Mairi MacArthur tells the story of how Alexander and Euphemia Ritchie set up their own cottage enterprise on the Scottish isle of Iona in 1899. The Ritchies company Iona Celtic Art not only established the style of Scottish Celtic jewelry for the next century, but also served as a model for island and rural based craft business that is still widely followed.

Tara Kelly gives an account of Victorian manufacture and marketing of facsimiles and reproductions of Irish archeological artifacts, such as the Tara Brooch beginning in the 1840s. This activity brought the splendid artistic achievements of the past to a wide, middle class audience, through commercial promotion.

Stephen Walker ties the story together by following the progression from the Celtic design tradition of Scottish warriors, preserved in the styles of ornate weapons. He follows the survival and expression of the Celtic cross as jewelry and the Arts and Crafts Movement influence on Celtic design.

The 74-page color illustrated book is available on Amazon.com for $ 16.95 paperback. Limited edition hardbound copies for $ 29.95 are available exclusively at Walker Metalsmiths two locations, at 1 Main Street, Andover, NY and at 140 Packets Landing, Fairport, NY. The exhibition of over 70 historical pieces that are illustrated in the book will be on display until June 2 at the Fairport location. For further information call 1-800-488-6347.

Walker Metalsmiths is a family-run jewelry design workshop specializing in Celtic rings, crosses and other jewelry in gold and silver. Established in Andover, NY in 1984, Walker Metalsmiths now operates a second store in Fairport, NY and has been a leader in Celtic jewelry sales by mail-order and on the internet since the 1990s. In recent years, founder Stephen Walker has been increasingly recognized as a researcher and author on historical Celtic art and craftsmanship.

Childrens Author Maria Wolf Pays Tribute to New Jerseys Resilience

CINNAMINSON, N.J. (PRWEB) May 10, 2013

In her latest childrens book, Storms (published by AuthorHouse), author Maria Wolf teaches readers an important lesson about resiliency and adapting to survive.

As a South Jersey resident, I was deeply affected by the devastation of Hurricane Sandy. As a mother and teacher, my heart broke for the people of Newtown, Conn., Wolf writes. Although I know there is no simple remedy for that kind of heartbreak and shock, I was looking for a way to remind all of us to turn to the eternal presence of nature and its continual resilience.

The main character is an old, wise owl who sees the reality of accepting the things in life that one cannot change, and the importance of being resilient and changing the things one can. A resounding example of this resilience comes from another main, unspoken character the big, beautiful tree in the forest who survives storms.

I hope this book brings some insight to those whose lives have been devastated, Wolf writes. Also, because all the beings in the story are from New Jersey, I want it to serve as a reminder of the beauty still in our state.
