Keeping Pets Safe and Healthy during Summer's Dog Days

The three "H"s of summer – haze, heat and humidity -- are back and will take their toll on pets as well as people in the weeks ahead. Be alert to read related news.

"Our dogs suffer from the heat and humidity, just as we do," says Traci Simo of Canine Company. "We need to take steps to keep them safe from common summer health problems like heat exhaustion, dehydration and parasites." She offers these tips for keeping the family dog healthy, even in extreme heat.

Preventing Heat Exhaustion and Dehydration.
"Although puppies and older dogs are at greatest risk, any pet can fall victim," says Simo. To prevent these problems:

Protecting from Skin Irritation and Parasites.
"A pet's coat provides protection from sun and parasites. It also creates a layer of insulation to keep cool air near the skin," says Simo. "That's why coat care is so important in the summer."

"When it comes to summer heat, if you are feeling uncomfortable, you should assume your dog is, too," says Simo. "But with just a few precautions like these, you can keep your pet safe and comfortable all season."

Inventive Marketing Firm, Impact Horsepower, Promises Gyms Explosive Growth With New Service

Impact Horsepower, led by heralded Internet marketer Dante McClain, is disrupting the traditional fitness business with an innovative lead generation solution. The company's selling point – and track record – is being able to attract 30-50 fresh paying members to almost any gym within 30 days.

https://jessicapressreleases.blogspot.com/2018/05/jabberjot-experts-say-award-winning.html

While the typical fitness business is barely dipping a toe in the water of Internet marketing, instead opting for more traditional methods, Dante McClain and his team is showing them that the Internet isn't just the future of marketing – it's also the present.

"What we're seeing now in the marketplace is the tail end of a revolution. The dust has settled, the landscape has changed, and the Internet is king," McClain states. Read all the latest news.

"Let's look at two real world examples. First there's Blockbuster Video. This is a store that fought against Internet adoption at every turn, expecting consumer trends to stay stagnant forever. And guess what, they were bankrupt within 2 years of Netflix's launch. When the last time you saw a Blockbuster?" McClain jokes.

"Now let's look at Amazon. They just wanted to be a bookseller when they started out. Instead of shying away from the Internet, they dove in head first, making it the cornerstone of their operation. And have you seen their stock prices lately?"

Dante McClain is a self-stated proponent of using Internet marketing in non-technical verticals, most notably the fitness industry. His newest venture, Impact Horsepower (Impact HP for short) aims to dispel the confusion that clouds online lead generation for gyms by offering a "done-for-you" solution that gym owners can utilize without any technical learning curve. Read latest news here.

From targeting the ads, to managing the creative, to nurturing the leads, to optimizing conversions, Impact HP boasts that it takes all the guesswork out of online marketing so owners can grow gym revenue quickly and easily.

Impact HP also gives gym staff the training they need to appropriately convert incoming leads into paying members, offering one-on-one closing scripts and sales certifications so the entire marketing cycle is leak-proof.

"Fifty new members can be a huge tidal wave for some gyms. Even though the owners want to make money, sometimes they just don't have the processes in place to grow their gym that fast. So while we launch the ad campaigns, we also train them so they're ready for that revenue spike when it hits. That way, we get long-term results, not just a flash in the pan," noted Mikala Parsons, vice president and operations manager of Impact HP beneath Dante McClain.

Further, Impact HP's online interface, Impact Dashboard, sends out automated texts and reminders to members and prospects, integrating with a gym's existing database. Member management, billing and contract signing can all be managed through the dashboard, accessible via computer or smart phone.

Beyond its innovative strategy to grow gym memberships, Impact HP has pledged to help those in need as well. Impact HP donates a percentage of all revenue to the Pencils of Promise organization, a non-profit that builds and manages schools in third-world countries.

Self-Controlled vs. Emotionally Constipated: Study Reveals The Drawbacks Of A Lack Of Emotional Expression

Who doesn't admire the cool, calm, and collected? It's why both men and women alike are drawn to strong, silent types like James Bond, Sherlock Holmes, and even the ever-somber dark knight, Batman. However, there is something almost unsettling about their seemingly superhuman self-control. Being able to stay calm in emotionally charged situations is an asset; not being able to express any emotions at all, however, is a disadvantage, and in more ways than one, according to research conducted at PsychTests. Among other issues, emotionally "constipated" individuals tend to feel more awkward in social situations, are less confident and assertive, and may also have an underlying high need for approval.

Assessing data from 1,324 people who took PsychTests'Emotional Intelligence Test, researchers compared two groups: The first group, the "Emotionally Controlled," is good at regulating their emotions and keeping themselves at even keel, yet they are still comfortable expressing their feelings. The second group, the "Emotionally Reticent" is equally skilled at emotional self-control but to the point where they won't express any emotions at all.

On the one hand, both groups are on par in terms of being empathetic, socially perceptive, and skilled at reading body language. PsychTests' study reveals, however, that too much control can take a social, psychological and, ironically, emotional toll.

Here is where the Emotionally Controlled group and Emotionally Reticent group differed: (Note: Scores range on a scale from 0 to 100)

EMOTIONAL COMFORT

Not surprisingly, emotionally reticent people tend to feel uncomfortable in situations in which they have to express their feelings or be around emotional people. Emotionally reticent people can be quite empathetic, but are more likely to express their empathy in a matter-of-fact manner rather than in a compassionate way.

EMOTIONAL REFLECTION

Emotionally controlled people are comfortable following their gut and listening to their intuition. If they have a bad feeling about something or someone, they heed the warning. The emotionally reticent group on the other hand prefers a balance of emotion and logic. Their strict emotional discipline could stem from the fact that they believe feelings are irrational and cannot always be trusted.

SELF CONFIDENCE & SELF ESTEEM

Expressing feelings, particularly those that would make a person seem vulnerable (e.g. fear, love), requires a great deal of confidence. This is where emotionally reticent people struggle more than the Controlled group. Oftentimes, they would rather keep their feelings inside than risk the potential for rejection or embarrassment. So while they may appear confident, they are more likely to feel at least somewhat ill-at-ease in situations that require them to express their emotions.

GOAL SETTING

Emotionally reticent people tend to be less ambitious and goal-oriented. This may be because they are less likely to engage in introspection to help them determine what they want out of life, and have difficulty swallowing their pride and admitting when they need help accomplishing a goal. Read related news now.

SELF-AWARENESS

The precursor to emotional expression is self-awareness – a person can't express what he/she feels without first figuring out what he/she is feeling. Given that emotionally reticent people are more likely to distance themselves from their emotions, they may not always take the time to sit down and consult their feelings.

https://jessicapressreleases.blogspot.com/2018/05/ca-flower-mall-petalers-prep-for-two.html

ADAPTABILITY

Given that reticent people tend to distance themselves from many emotionally charged situations, this makes it difficult for them to learn to adapt to them. Much like resilience, adaptability can only be developed by thought experience and a willingness to face challenging circumstances.

https://jessicapressreleases.blogspot.com/2018/05/a-focus-on-heart-health-risks-in-new.html

CONTENTMENT

People who are comfortable expressing their emotions tend to be happier than those who keep their feelings inside. This may be because talking things out with someone, a particularly useful coping strategy in stressful situations, can lighten a person's emotional burden. Emotional reticence can also contribute to feelings of depression and anxiety, conditions that correlate with life dissatisfaction.

CONFLICT-RESOLUTION

The emotional charge around conflict situations can sometimes make it difficult for emotionally reticent people to resolve conflicts effectively. Granted, it's essential to be able to remain objective in these situations, but a person must also be able to express their feelings tactfully, be it frustration, fear, or love, and accept the other person's feelings as well.

NEED FOR APPROVAL

Although emotionally reticent people do not have a particularly strong need for approval, they show more desire for validation from others than the Emotionally Controlled group. Essentially, while they are skilled at emotional control, there is still a part of them that wants to tell people how they feel…and for those feelings to be accepted and acknowledged.

"We often go on and on about the dangers of a lack of self-control or of impulsiveness, but the fact of the matter is that keeping your feelings inside can be just as unhealthy," explains Dr. Jerabek, president of PsychTests. "This is particularly true for men. Little boys are often taught at an early age to 'man-up or toughen up', and that expressing their feelings will make them seem weak and too feminine. This study makes things very clear: Self-control is commendable; self-discipline is something to be admired. However, self-control is not the same as being reserved, and if you have trouble expressing what you feel, you are going to have a hard time dealing with stress and bonding with other people."
