Antique vinaigrettes, small containers meant to hold a scented sponge, were auctioned in Pennsylvania. Prices ranged from under $300 to over $9,000 for 19th-century vinaigrettes made of gold, silver, wood or bone. Figural examples such as a knight's helmet, monkey's head, lady bug, leaning tower and more are pictured in Kovels' September newsletter.

A collection of Moorcroft pottery was auctioned in Connecticut. Moorcroft has been making pottery in England for more than 120 years.

HG Contemporary Gallery proudly presents: "The Journey Is The Destination" by Dan Eldon, September 6th - 1st October, 2018

Dan Eldon's richly layered collages and haunting photos of famine and war in Somalia have inspired individuals around the world since his death in 1993. Now, 25 years later, HG Contemporary, in collaboration with Creative Visions and Trotta-Bono Contemporary, will honor Eldon's legacy with a one-of-a-kind exhibition, presenting 19 of the artist's limited edition prints alongside a number of works from three artists who were directly influenced by Eldon's life and mission. The exhibit opens on September 6th and runs through October 1st.

Dan Eldon was born in England, but moved to Kenya at the age of seven with his British father and American mother. The African continent, as well as travels to 46 countries, provided rich content for Eldon, who captured his experiences in a collection of 17 bulging journals, packed with drawings, photographs and artifacts.

https://jessicapressreleases.blogspot.com/2018/05/bright-pattern-provides-innovative.html

In 1991, Eldon, 22, was the first to create awareness of a famine in Somalia, and his photos helped trigger an international relief mission, Operation Restore Hope, that saved the lives of hundreds of thousands of starving Somalis. For the next year, Eldon returned to Somalia as the youngest Reuters photojournalist to document the descent of the country into a bloody civil war for global outlets including Time, Newsweek and international newspapers. On July 12th, 1993, a misguided attack on a house a warlord was said to be hiding by US Marines left more than 200 Somalis dead or wounded. Survivors rushed to the journalists' hotel to beg them to film the carnage. In the ensuing chaos, Eldon and three of his colleagues were beaten or stoned to death by an angry mob.

Soon after, his family discovered Dan's journals, which were discovered by Chronicle Books, and featured in Chronicle Books' best-selling collection, The Journey is the Destination: The Journals of Dan Eldon (recently re-released with a foreword by Kweku Mandela). Eldon's art has inspired countless and is in many prestigious private collections, including those of Diana Rockefeller, Bruce Weber, Madonna, Julia Roberts, Christiane Amanpour, Rosie O'Donnell, among others.

Dan's extraordinary life is portrayed in the feature film The Journey is the Destination, produced by Kweku Mandela and directed by Bronwen Hughes, currently available on Netflix and all VOD platforms. HG Contemporary is excited to present the works of Dan Eldon and artists who have been inspired by his spirit. A portion of the profits will support the work of Creative Visions, a 501c3 organization inspired by Dan Eldon that nurtures creative activists who use arts and media for social impact. Full details available below.

Hurricane Harvey Anniversary Serves as Reminder to Include Pets in Disaster Preparation Plans

The one-year anniversary of Hurricane Harvey fell just before September's National Disaster Preparedness Month, an awareness event that serves as a call-to-action to prepare for all types of emergencies. In light of both the Hurricane Harvey anniversary and National Disaster Preparedness Month, the Texas Veterinary Medical Association (TVMA) is urging pet owners to include pets in their disaster preparation plans.

Read all the related news.:

https://jessicapressreleases.blogspot.com/2018/05/ritzpix-adds-portable-banner-offerings.html

One of the key components of developing a disaster preparation plan is establishing an evacuation strategy that involves determining how to get your pets safely out of the house and off the property and finding a safe place to stay. Many disaster shelters do not accept pets, so find one that does ahead of time or secure an alternative safe haven for your pets. Consider making arrangements for boarding in case of home destruction. In addition to dogs and cats, it is crucial to plan ahead and make sure farm animals and livestock also are accounted for.

https://jessicapressreleases.blogspot.com/2018/05/shmoop-prepares-students-for-ap-season.html

Assembling a survival kit for each of your pets is essential. Just as humans need food, water and additional items such as medication, pets will need an ample supply of these things as well. In the kits, there should be at least seven days worth of food, water and medication, photos of pets for identification, proof of health care, emergency contact information and your veterinarian's contact information. The American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA) has species-specific guides and resources available to the public to ensure you have all possible necessities.

It's important to maintain an up-to-date contact information list with phone numbers for the veterinarian, fire department, police station, animal shelter and the nearest relative or friend who could shelter your pet. Making sure your pet is properly identified is also imperative. If your pet does happen to get lost during an evacuation or a disaster, you will have a much better chance of finding them if they are microchipped and tagged.

"Having your pet microchipped is critical," said TVMA Disaster Preparedness Committee Chair Heather Timmermans, DVM, who is head of the emergency and critical care department at MedVet Dallas. "That way if you're separated from your pet, then we can identify who the owner is and get in contact with them. Making sure that information is up to date is also very important."

About the Texas Veterinary Medical Association
Founded in 1903, the Texas Veterinary Medical Association is a professional association composed of more than 3,700 veterinarians committed to protecting public health, promoting high educational, ethical and moral standards within the veterinary profession and educating the public about animal health and its relationship to human health.

Poor Pet Oral Health Causes Rising Premiums, Says Aquarium Software

As pet insurance providers see a significant rise in claims, technology specialist Aquarium Software reaffirms the importance of insuring your pets, to avoid hefty veterinary bills. Across all pet types, mouth and oral disorders - such as abscesses; ulcers; and wounds - saw the sharpest increase in claims between 2016 and 2017, rising by 25 percent. New Direct Line analysis also revealed the average cost of vet treatment for dogs and cats has risen by four percent over the past year, with average claim rising by £29, from £728 to £757.

Big Data can have a positive influence in helping drive down long-term premiums – a trend that is currently threatened by poor pet oral health, among other pet parent education issues, according to Aquarium Software.

Be alert to the latest news.:

https://jessicapressreleases.blogspot.com/2018/05/common-workplace-items-may-be-hazardous.html

"This is hopefully only a short-term setback for the industry," said Aquarium Software Director, Mark Colonnese. "It's sad that pet owners and the general public would expose pets to this new risk, on top of passive smoking and over-feeding which have previously been flagged as concerns," he said.

https://jessicapressreleases.blogspot.com/2018/05/airserver-launches-first-of-its-kind-4k.html

"With claims rising for certain specific treatments such as oral disorders, technology combined with better education will make it much easier to bring premium clarity for pet parents in the future," said Mark. "Perhaps a pet 'driving licence' is something that might take on in the future. The key thing here is that consumers have more control over the price of pet insurance than they think; at the moment, poor animal stewardship by a small proportion of owners is pushing certain premiums up. Frankly, that is not the insurance industry's fault, yet we can all do more to highlight what good pet parenting looks like," added Mark. "Furthermore, smarter premium ratings will ensure that you are not penalised in the future for the bad pet parenting of others; your premium will be calculated entirely on the risk profile of you and your pet," concluded Colonnese.

Aquarium Software is used by a number of travel insurers; pet insurers; and other consumer service providers and affinity partners in the UK, Europe, USA and Canada. For further information visit http://www.aquarium-software.com

"Achieving this certification demonstrates our commitment to providing our customers with the most secure product and service possible."

The O-TTPS was developed by consensus in The Open Group Trusted Technology Forum (OTTF) where industry members identify best practices and processes.

Eduventures® Student Sentiment Survey™ Examines the Communication Preferences of College-Bound High School Students

The National Research Center for College and University Admissions™ (NRCCUA®), an educational data science and research organization that was recently acquired by ACT®, today announced findings from its Eduventures' Research division. Available in the Eduventures app on the Encoura™ Data Lab platform, the inaugural Student Sentiment Survey™ explores the key areas of college search behavior and communication preferences to help higher education enrollment officers create more effective outreach strategies. Designed as a compliment to Eduventures' Prospective Student Survey™, which measures brand perceptions of college-bound high-school students, and the Survey of Admitted Students™, which examines the enrollment decision and helps traditional institutions improve yield, this latest survey answers one of the most burning questions facing enrollment offices today: Now that I've identified my prospective students and crafted my message, how do I get it out?

Click here to read the latest news.:

https://jessicapressreleases.blogspot.com/2018/05/rob-lowe-hosts-new-on-demand-segment-on.html

Key findings from the survey include:

Six Prospective Student Search Strategies that reinforce that students are not a homogenous group, but rather they are individuals with unique preferences and behaviors. These include:

Analysis of the most used vs. most trusted marketing channels that highlights the influence of email (most used and trusted), social media (less used and very little-trusted), and third-party sources (often used and trusted).
The influence of search stage that illustrates how more than 80% of all students—sophomores, juniors, and seniors—actively engage in college search, their communication preferences change as their searches progress. In particular, it highlights the increased use of mobile for college search among younger students (39% of sophomores vs. 30% of seniors).

"As growth in the number of high school students has stalled in recent years, the composition of those students has evolved," said Johanna Trovato, Senior Analyst and primary author of this study. "More first generation, underrepresented minority, and low income students are placing a wholly different set of pressures on recruiting efforts. Students are applying to nearly twice as many colleges and universities, on average, than they did a decade ago. In the zero-sum game of traditional undergraduate student recruitment, this creates an increasingly competitive landscape."

As generations change and traditional undergraduate student recruiting becomes more complex, a "one-size-fits-all" marketing strategy is not sufficient. This report highlights an outreach strategy that will help institutions attract, engage, and convert best-fit students.

It’s PSL Time! Limited Time Offer Pumpkin Spice Lattes Are Still Working It for Fans and Foodservice Operators

Pumpkin spice lattes — a phrase so popular and used so frequently that it has been shortened to PSL — are now synonymous with fall and a highly anticipated annual tradition for fans and the foodservice operators offering them. PSL limited time offers have been around for over a decade and are still proving to be a winning promotion, reports The NPD Group. More info here.

The payoff for chains offering PSL limited time offers are more visits and a higher average check size, according to NPD's Checkout, a receipt harvesting research service that analyzes purchase behavior over time. Buyers of PSLs in the 2017 season visited twice as many times and had an average check 10 percent higher than non-buyers. PSL purchasers spend an average of $3 more when PSLs are purchased, but they make 3 times as many non-PSL purchases as they do PSL.

Who are these perennial purchasers of the pumpkin spice latte? They tend to have higher incomes, 60 percent have a household income of $75,000 and above. PSL fans skew slightly more female (53 percent) than male and 45 percent of them are 45 years and older. Over 60 percent of pumpkin spice latte aficionados do not have children under 18 in the household, finds the Checkout analysis.

"It's a winning strategy for coffee chains to continue to offer pumpkin spice lattes as a limited time offer. Consumers anticipate their availability and know the drinks are only around for a short period of time and this anticipation creates demand," says Annie Roberts, vice president-Foodservice at NPD. "In addition, pumpkin spice latte limited time offers have a positive impact on visit frequency and check averages as consumers tend to purchase food along with the beverage. It doesn't get much better than that."

HOPEDC Celebrates 30 years of HIV Social Support in Washington DC

On September 15th, 2018, the Health Options and Positive Energy Foundation, Inc. (HOPEDC) will celebrate 30 years of bringing together the HIV+ Men's community in Washington, DC.

The celebration will be marked by a Social Event much like the very first gathering that initiated the HOPEDC community.

In keeping with a tradition now more than 3 decades in the making, the HOPEDC anniversary celebration will be hosted this month by a generous HOPEDC member couple in a private home located in Arlington. Details are available upon request.

HOPEDC's informal group originated in 1988, during the darkest days of the AIDS epidemic, when a small group of HIV+ Men met at Medstar Georgetown University Hospital during clinical trials of life-saving treatments. They decided to bind together for mutual moral support away from the hospital and began hosting private social events throughout the district. The clinical trial is long since history, but the fellowship that they started is still here today, with an active secret Facebook Group, an email Discussion list, and gatherings all over the Washington area.

The group remains active today, as the need for moral and peer support for HIV+ attendees has not changed. Over the years, services and support offered by HOPEDC have proven to be essential for the health and well-being of each Social attendee. The focus of the group is primarily directed to single gay men with HIV in the Washington, DC area, but all are welcome.

In 1996, the informal group became a non-profit 501C3 organization called The HOPE Foundation. Over the years, the group has grown to over 1200 individuals. The gatherings are now regular events called "The Monthly Social" where HIV+, and poz-friendly, gay/bi/trans/questioning men can meet and provide support for each other in the greater Washington/Baltimore area.

"We celebrate the dramatic medical breakthroughs that have turned HIV into a manageable condition, but we are deeply aware of the Social challenges of living well and responsibly with HIV," explained Jimmy Garza, Vice-President of HOPEDC. "That is why, 30 years later, we are still here and will continue to be here as long there is a need."

About HOPE DC
HOPE DC is an all-volunteer non-profit organization that serves the HIV+ Community in the Washington, DC Metropolitan area. Services provided include the Monthly Social which offers a stress-free gathering that fosters mutual support, as well as and website to share articles, information, links and resources about living with HIV, a Facebook Secret Group, and also occasional public seminars or lectures. we also have monthly Brunches, and occasional Museum Tours, and Day Trips.

https://jessicapressreleases.blogspot.com/2018/05/aladtec-team-will-attend-iacp.html

The HOPEDC philosophy is that by providing such services, they help HIV+ gay men foster a greater self-esteem and sense of community and that this in turn fosters the responsibility and behavior that helps diminish the spread of HIV.

The Group is funded by Generous Donations from Brother Help Thyself, Whitman Walker Health and Individual Private Donors.

Aladtec Team Offers Demonstrations at American Ambulance Association’s Annual Conference and Exposition

Leaders and decision-makers from public and private ambulance services across the nation will gather in Las Vegas soon to learn about the latest trends and review products and services to help them improve performance.

Read this here.:

https://jessicapressreleases.blogspot.com/2018/05/eat-2-win-sports-nutrition-app-fills.html

Representatives Matt Zinnel and David Snyder from Aladtec will be on-hand to meet with customers and demonstrate the firm's online employee scheduling and workforce management software. Visit them at Booth #508 to see how Aladtec's easy-to-use platform enables hundreds of EMS agencies across North America put scheduling tools, e-forms, and instant communication as close as members' smartphones.

Aladtec works well for all agencies, whether scheduling involves a few full-time and on-call volunteers, or hundreds of career paramedics.

"Folks like that they can get on their phone, check to see who's scheduled that day, what the next shift that's coming up, what the monthly schedule is looking like, and how easy it is for them to perform a trade or a giveaway," said David Flaherty, Operations Chief with Great Falls (MT) EMS. He uses Aladtec to schedule and communicate with 55 people. "It used to be a lot more complicated with paper and e-mails, and someone would have to sign-off with wet ink."

https://jessicapressreleases.blogspot.com/2018/05/intouch-insight-launches-liacx-new.html

Beyond scheduling tools, Aladtec provides a member database, document storage, a member discussion area, an optional timeclock kiosk, extensive reporting, and ability to create customizable reports that can be submitted, reviewed, and archived within the Aladtec system. The functionality permits access anytime, saving customers money, reducing error, and providing accountability.

Aladtec's first customer was a rural ambulance service in Wisconsin. The firm's secure, cloud-based software is now used by more than 2,100 EMS, fire, law enforcement, and dispatch agencies.

Along with the trade exposition at AAA, attendees will hear a variety of presenters cover topics such as key performance indicators to drive cash-flow, how to improve management performance, and a review of strategies to help EMS personnel recover from events like the Oct. 1, 2017, mass shooting in Las Vegas. Read all the latest news.

The American Ambulance Association was formed 39 years ago to advocate improvements in medical transportation and emergency medical services. AAA represents hundreds of ambulance services that provide emergent and nonemergency care and medical transportation. The group serves as a voice and clearinghouse for ambulance services and views prehospital care as a public service and an essential part of the total public health care system.

Aladtec staff will meet with many customers while at the AAA Conference and Trade Show. A System Specialist will be on hand to answer any customer questions and help them optimize their system in person. Booth visitors will see first-hand how Aladtec can improve their service and they'll be invited to sign up for a free 14-day "try-it" demo, or they can choose a customized demo configured to their organization's specific needs.

"I looked at a handful of online scheduling programs including (two competitors) and found Aladtec to be my favorite and cost far less than the others," said Chief Don Harnisch, Nekoosa (WI) Ambulance Service.

For more information and a free demonstration, visit http://www.aladtec.com, or call #888-749-5550 and a representative will be pleased to answer any questions or arrange a presentation customized to the unique needs of any agency.
