New Book "Love, Sanity, or Medical School" Delivers a Hilarious and Contemporary Spin on Navigating Life, Dating, and Medical School

Third year of medical school is the greatest test in a doctor's life, a year of rotating throughout specialties, teams, hospitals and lives. It leaves an indelible mark on every physician, but the story is often untold… until now.

Told through gonzo-style, bare-it-all journaling, Love, Sanity, or Medical School takes you on a tour of Third Year with Dr. Stephanie Benjamin, a 9/11 and Katrina-surviving, former Junior Olympic fencer with a tenacious spirit and keen humor.

Follow Dr. Benjamin as she navigates Imposter Syndrome and white coat snack-stashing, life-changing mentors and unbearable teammates, courageous cancer patients and booger-ridden pediatric patients, breakups, makeups, parties, research, exams, rounds and learning what it's really going to take to devote yourself so completely to the practice of medicine and patients.

Hilarious, heartfelt, and real Benjamin has carefully curated a "Music & Beverage Pairing Menu" to accompany each chapter and enhance the reading experience. For example: Family Medicine, Song: Coconut Records. "Nighttiming." Nighttiming. Young Baby Records. 2007., Drink: Chili Mango Margarita, or any other drink featuring Tequila, Intersession 1- Song: The xx. "Intro." xx. XL Studios. 2009. Drink: Large dark roast, 2% milk, no sugar, Inpatient Internal Medicine, Song: Arcade Fire. "We Used to Wait." The Suburbs. Rouge Trade Records, Merge Records. 2019, Drink: Sauvignon Blanc, or other crisp white wine. Please read responsibly.

Love, Sanity, or Medical School finds its power in vulnerability, in documenting love, loss, triumph, failure, fear and joy. You'll never forget this slice of life from the white coat crowd.

Mother-Daughter Game Creators’ Twist on Party Games Is “Unrivaled”

In a thriving, billion-dollar board game industry largely dominated by men, mother Staley Krause and daughter Sawyer Krause-Thompson collaborated to create and write a fresh take on party games with their debut release, Unrivaled.

Unrivaled offers partygoers a unique experience with an added twist: Players guess the winner before each challenge begins, bringing in rivalry from the start. The game stirs up high energy and big laughs with diverse challenges, from push-up contests and delivering monologues to designing new trends and inventing strange cocktails. Players compete in wit and will while also getting to know each other on a whole new level.

"People inherently want to understand and be understood by each other, and I think the Unrivaled game mechanic sets the stage for that." says Krause. "We all know the superficial basics about our friends and acquaintances, so I wanted this game to take things up a notch. All of it is light-hearted and often ridiculous, but the end result, whether people realize it or not, is learning about and sharing with each other."

The mother-daughter duo partnered with illustrator Ping Fah, who created the retro-fresh cover art. Designer Missy Fountain, of the Atlanta-based game publisher Lark & Clam, brought all of the elements together into the package on shelves today. Collectively, these women are unrivaled in their talent and creativity. Unrivaled has been picked up by Target, Barnes & Noble, Books-A-Million, and Amazon, and can be found in hobby gaming stores across the country. Be alert to the latest news.

ABOUT UNRIVALED
Welcome to a brand-new party game experience where players guess the winner before each challenge begins! Stir up rivalries. Read the room. A madcap game of trivia, physical team, and solo challenges - Who will take them on? Who will predict the winner?

ABOUT LARK & CLAM
Lark & Clam is a maker of fine board games, card games, and curios located in Atlanta, Georgia. Its mission is to bring fun-to-play, easy-to-learn "party games" to a wider audience. Lark & Clam believes that face-to-face engagement is a basic human need and that quick and fun games are an important part of life. Hit games include Codenames: Deep Undercover 2.0; Deer Lord!; Flanx; Brown Chicken, Brown Cow; and Unrivaled.

Counselor Releases Unflinching Guide to Finding Strength Through Stillness, Silence and Gratitude Amidst Life’s Chaos

A licensed professional counselor has released her playfully irreverent guide to overcoming life's challenges, mastering stillness in motion and, ultimately, discovering and becoming one's authentic self. In "Learning to Slow the F*ck Down: And Other Life Lessons," author Erica Mortimer twines her personal stories of growth with her perspective as a seasoned mental health clinician and invites readers to strip away limiting beliefs and negative patterns of thought, empowering them to create for themselves a life they truly love.

"Learning to Slow the F*ck Down" was born out of a desire to help the walking wounded that Mortimer encounters every day, she said. Ultimately, she wanted to provide others with a simple introduction to spiritual concepts and practices, such as being intentional and learning to meditate, while also helping readers to move past the commonly perceived roadblocks and limiting beliefs that prevent them from living their truth. Click here to read the latest news.

"I wrote this book because my journey to mindfulness was not a pretty one," Mortimer said. "Not so long ago, I had someone tell me I needed to slow the f-ck down, and in that moment, I thought I knew what they meant. But I really didn't, and it took me years to figure it out. When I finally understood, I had to call them up and thank them."

An unflinching and deeply personal approach to learning to become more present in an increasingly fast-paced and technology-centric world, "Learning to Slow the F*ck Down" teaches readers how to respond to life rather than react to it, educates them on the joy intention can bring to simple actions, such as eating and conversing with others, and shows them how to celebrate and love the parts of themselves that they struggle with most.

Consumers at Risk: 126% Increase in Exposed Consumer Data, 1.68 Billion Email-Related Credentials

The Identity Theft Resource Center®, a nationally recognized non-profit organization established to support victims of identity crime, and CyberScout®, a full-spectrum identity, privacy and data security services firm, released the 2018 End-of-Year Data Breach Report.

According to the report, the number of U.S. data breaches tracked in 2018 decreased from last year's all-time high of 1,632 breaches by 31 percent (or 1,244 breaches), but the reported number of consumer records exposed containing sensitive personally identifiable information jumped 126 percent from the 197,612,748 records exposed in 2017 to 446,515,334 records this past year.

"The increased exposure of sensitive consumer data is serious," said Eva Velasquez, president and CEO of the Identity Theft Resource Center. "Never has there been more information out there putting consumers in harm's way. ITRC continues to help victims and consumers by providing guidance on the best ways to navigate the dangers of identity theft to which these exposures give rise."

Another critical finding was the number of non-sensitive records compromised, not included in the above totals, an additional 1.68 billion exposed records. While email-related credentials are not considered sensitive personally identifiable information, a majority of consumers use the same username/email and password combinations across multiple platforms creating serious vulnerability. Read all the related news.

"When it comes to cyber hygiene, email continues to be the Achilles Heel for the average consumer," said CyberScout founder and chair, Adam Levin. "There are many strategies consumers can use to minimize their exposure, but the takeaway from this year's report is clear: Breaches are the third certainty in life, and constant vigilance is the only solution."

Continue reading.

"Partner Colorado is one of the few financial institutions to have a cannabis banking program to support this growing, and often unbanked industry," said Spencer Guilford, Chief Operations Officer for Partner Colorado Credit Union.

With these additional capabilities, we can ensure our members have access to a convenient deposit solution so they don't have to rely on cash or bring payments to a branch."

Alogent's ImagePoint solution for merchant capture enables small- to medium-sized businesses the ability to deposit checks from an office location outside of banking hours by simply using a check scanner. With the added convenience and security of transacting from their storefront, this cost-effective technology enables merchants to more easily manage their receivables.

Fetch! Pet Care Introduces Low Cost Franchise Enabling Part-Time Ownership

Fetch! Pet Care, the nation's largest franchised provider of professional dog walking and pet sitting services, today announced it has dramatically revamped its franchise offering.

With 16 years of franchising experience under its belt, Fetch! is responding to how prospective franchisees want to operate a business and balance their personal and professional lives. The company's streamlined, turnkey franchise solution is designed to satisfy the needs of those looking to augment their income without having to devote an inordinate amount of their time and resources to growing their business.

The franchise fee has been reduced to $6,000 with five-year financing available, plus a $6,000 setup, orientation and training fee. A money back guarantee is available for the paid-in franchise fee if a franchisee is not completely satisfied after their first year in business. Fetch! franchisees are only required to commit 20 hours per week to operating their franchise.

"We're excited to take our franchise offering to the next level to reflect the current times and make it available to a wider audience", said Paul Mann, Founder and Senior Vice President of Franchise Development. "Fetch! delivers on all of the requests we've been hearing and positions us for rapid growth in the booming $70 billion pet industry".

The turnkey solution provides comprehensive training, 1-on-1 coaching, daily task lists and marketing support to help franchisees build their business. The fully integrated Fetch! Pet Care Client Concierge Center is staffed 365 days a year to handle customer service and scheduling, so franchisees can focus on local marketing and building their team. Franchisees can also interact with each other to benefit from their collective wisdom and experience.

"Fetch! is now offering a truly affordable, flexible and unique opportunity in the franchise industry", said James Mowery, President. "Franchisees can start their business in less than 14 weeks, for under $20,000, and work as little as 20 hours per week, so they have plenty of free time or time to work a second job".

Although Fetch! offers a cutting-edge mobile app and a sophisticated virtual communications platform, it is local ownership - where franchisees are involved in the community and personally recruit, train and mentor their team of dog walkers and pet sitters - that sets Fetch! apart.

"There has never been a better time to franchise with us", said Mowery. "Fetch! Pet Care is setting the bar by providing the highest quality level of pet care service in the country and, as a result, is carving out a unique niche in the marketplace as a specialty service provider".

The company also offers a deployment guarantee for active military members who get deployed outside of their Target Area allowing them to sell their franchise and/or terminate the franchise agreement without penalty. This guarantee also provides forgiveness of the balance of any note delivered for payment of the franchise fee.
