New Memoir ‘Me, Mom & the Monster’ Shines Light on Huntington’s Disease

SOUTH SURREY, British Columbia, July 16, 2026 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Author Corinne Brown releases her deeply personal memoir, “Me, Mom & the Monster: Our Dance Through Huntington’s Disease,” a powerful and intimate account of one family’s experience living with a devastating genetic illness. ISBN: 978-1834383958, released June 2, 2026 by Tellwell Publishing.

Huntington’s disease (HD) is a rare, inherited neurodegenerative disorder that affects movement, cognition, and mental health. The book is dedicated to increasing understanding, reducing stigma, and supporting individuals and families impacted by the condition, while sharing her and her mother’s story.

In “Me, Mom & the Monster,” Brown recounts the moment her mother, Mae, received life-altering news: she had inherited the gene for Huntington’s disease. What follows is a candid and emotionally resonant narrative told through alternating voices of mother and daughter, offering readers an unfiltered look at the physical, emotional, and generational impact of the disease.

Blending memoir with raw storytelling, the book explores not only the progression of HD, but also the enduring strength of family, identity, and love in the face of uncertainty. From Mae’s life as a farming wife, businesswoman, and mother, to Corinne’s own journey alongside her, the story reveals the profound realities behind a diagnosis that affects entire families—not just individuals.

“This book offers a humbling opportunity for us to consider the impact of illness as an extension of the human condition,” says Dr. John Diggle, Clinical Assistant Professor of Neuroscience at the University of British Columbia. “It provides keen insight into not only our individual patients’ struggles, but how the impact of illness can span generations, and the power of family in the provision of care.”

The memoir has also received early critical acclaim. In a five-star review, Reader Views described “Me, Mom & the Monster” as “a memoir of supreme courage, extraordinary devotion, and overwhelming love,” praising Brown’s candid portrayal of one family’s experience with Huntington’s disease.

Brown, a graduate of Memorial University of Newfoundland and Mount Royal University’s journalism program in Calgary, Alberta, brings a lifelong passion for storytelling to her debut book. Now based in South Surrey, British Columbia, she draws on her personal experience and narrative skill to shed light on a condition that remains widely misunderstood.

As awareness efforts continue worldwide, “Me, Mom & the Monster” arrives as both a contribution and a compassionate call to better understand Huntington’s disease and those it affects.

“Me, Mom & the Monster: Our Dance Through Huntington’s Disease” is available now.

From Cairo to Canada: Mohsen Rifaat explores identity, history, and belonging in ‘Spaces between the Nile and the True North’

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, July 14, 2026 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — In his new memoir, “Spaces between the Nile and the True North: Negotiating Egyptian-Canadian Cultural Fusion” (ISBN: 978-1834381282; released by Tellwell Publishing), author Mohsen Rifaat reflects on a life shaped by migration, cultural change, and the search for belonging. Blending personal memories with historical insight and his own artwork, the book follows his journey from British-occupied and revolutionary Egypt to a new life in Canada.

Image caption: Cover, “Spaces between the Nile and the True North: Negotiating Egyptian-Canadian Cultural Fusion.”

Leaving Cairo in 1968 with his newlywed wife, Sarah, Rifaat began building a new life while navigating the challenges of adapting to a different culture without losing sight of his roots. Over the decades, his career spanned architecture, urban planning, public service, diplomacy, and international business, offering a unique perspective on the intersections of two countries and two identities.

Throughout the memoir, Rifaat also highlights lesser-known historical connections between Egypt and Canada, including how the Suez Crisis influenced Canada’s adoption of the maple leaf flag and the role of a Canadian ambassador in preserving an important heritage building in Cairo. These stories are woven together with reflections on family, identity, and the experience of living between cultures.

Illustrated with Rifaat’s own watercolors, sketches, photographs, and personal memorabilia, the memoir offers readers both a visual and literary record of a life lived across continents.

“Spaces between the Nile and the True North” has drawn praise from author and educator Crystal Hurdle, who writes: “His life becomes a literal and metaphorical collage, the rich text embedded with his images: sumptuous watercolours, blueprints, sketches, photos, and ephemera, a sensory delight.”

Rifaat grew up in Cairo’s Belle Époque and trained as an architect before earning a graduate degree in urban planning from the University of Toronto. Now living in Vancouver, he continues to reflect on his experiences through writing and painting, sharing stories of his life and heritage with future generations.

“Spaces between the Nile and the True North: Negotiating Egyptian-Canadian Cultural Fusion” is available in paperback (ISBN-13: 978-1834381282).

Poetry Collection Reflects on Nature, Memory, and Quiet Observation

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Jan. 29, 2026 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — “Love, Life and Mother Nature: Picture Book of Poems” (ISBN: 978-1834182124 released September, 2025 by Tellwell Publishing) by James C. Glassford is a poetry collection that explores the natural world as a source of reflection, learning, and emotional grounding. Paired with original photography, the book presents nature as both a physical environment and a place for personal contemplation.

Image caption: “Love, Life and Mother Nature: Picture Book of Poems” by James C. Glassford.

Glassford, a retired physician living on Vancouver Island, has maintained a lifelong relationship with the outdoors. He views nature as an alternate classroom and a steady teacher, offering lessons that inform both daily life and creative expression. This perspective shapes the collection, which includes poems about forests, coastlines, wildlife, and moments of stillness, as well as the ways people relate to and interpret the world around them.

While much of the book reflects adult observation and lived experience, some poems examine nature through imagination and memory. One poem, “Nature and a Child’s Mind,” considers how children interpret outdoor experiences through storytelling and familiar narratives, blending observation with creativity.

The book also recognizes the collaborative work behind its creation. The photography featured throughout the collection was taken by the author’s wife, Lynn. Glassford acknowledges the encouragement of friends and family, as well as editorial and production support from the Tellwell Publishing team. The collection includes a poem written in the oral tradition of the Haida Nation, inspired by Haida artist Mike Bellis and his coastal carvings.

“Love, Life and Mother Nature” is suited for readers interested in poetry that engages with nature, reflection, and human experience across different stages of life.

LADNER, B.C., Canada, Dec. 8, 2025 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Author Hugh Greer announces the release of his new book, “2,300 Days of Travel: From Roughing it to Luxury Cruising” (ISBN: 978-1834183879), a witty and self-deprecating chronicle of his journeys from camping in the 1950s to luxury riverboats and ocean cruises later in life.

Hugh began traveling with his parents in the 1950s, enduring outhouse bathrooms and long car trips in the days before interstate highways. Later, he embarked on 13 months of backpacking around the world, as well as a year living and working in England. As his life and circumstances changed, so did his style of travel, evolving into more comfortable and upscale experiences like European river cruises and a voyage down the Mekong River.

Told with humor and candor, “2,300 Days of Travel” is for readers who have traveled, who dream of traveling, or who simply enjoy a good laugh at the unpredictable things that happen along the way. You can find the book on Amazon and other major booksellers

Hugh Greer was born and raised in Burnaby, British Columbia. After graduating from the University of British Columbia with a degree in education, he spent 35 years working in the Vancouver School District as a teacher, counselor, and vice principal. His first book, “11,000 Days at School: From Class Clown to High School Vice-Principal” (2022), recounted his decades in education. He and his wife, Wendy, live in Ladner, BC, and continue to explore the world together.

This book makes sure you’ll enjoy the day you worked so hard to plan.”

This book is ideal for engaged couples, families, bridal parties, and anyone who wants to plan a memorable, stress-free wedding without the guesswork.

The memoir opens with the chilling words spoken by Linda’s husband: “If you ever leave me, I will kill the kids then I will kill you.” What follows is Linda’s candid account of seven years in a violent marriage that culminated in an attempt on her life.

Raised on a farm in Indiana, Linda’s early life was rooted in responsibility and resilience. She served three years in the Marine Corps before marrying her college sweetheart. But her marriage quickly unraveled into years of domestic abuse driven by alcohol and rage. After surviving his attempt to kill her, Linda fled with her three children to Florida, determined to protect them and find a new path forward.

“My Husband Almost Killed Me” not only reveals the private struggles of living with an abusive partner, but also speaks to other women who may feel trapped in similar circumstances. With honesty and courage, Linda reminds readers that even in the darkest times, there is always the possibility of choosing a different life.

Linda Beason passed away in 2024 before the book’s publication, but her words live on as a testament of resilience and hope for others facing toxic relationships.

Linda grew up in Indiana, studied at Purdue University, and worked in both agriculture and accounting for companies such as the Green Giant Company.

Author Mont Redmond Explores What GOD Means to Our Minds and Spirits in His New Book ‘Ideas Inspired by the Qur’an’

VICTORIA, British Columbia, July 14, 2025 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Writer and independent thinker Mont Redmond is getting ready for controversy with his thought-provoking new book, “Ideas Inspired by the Qur’an” (ISBN-10: 1738842509; Released January 2023). A deeply personal and intellectually engaging work, the book invites readers of all faiths, as well as agnostics and the non-religious, to reflect on enduring spiritual and philosophical questions through the lens of the Qur’an.

Image caption: cover, “Ideas Inspired by the Qur’an” by Mont Redmond.

“Ideas Inspired by the Qur’an” confronts universal concerns: the problem of evil, the rationality of faith, the limits of science, and the nature of reality. Redmond weaves together insights from Plato, Aristotle, Al-Ghazzālī, John Stuart Mill, and others, demonstrating how Qur’anic metaphysics can illuminate debates that have challenged humanity for millennia.

“This book was not meant to be a commentary on a religion,” says Redmond. “I regard it, rather, as a way of overcoming the spiritual, intellectual, and emotional fissures between faith and thought, between a declining Western civilization and an Islamic world-view seen as ever more obsolete, and between the Qur’an and the human heart. The Qur’an not only builds bridges but also urges us to cross them.”

The book speaks to Muslim readers seeking deeper engagement with their faith, to spiritual seekers navigating modernity, and to anyone wrestling with questions of existence and ultimate value. Through a series of candid, challenging, and unexpected reflections, Redmond guides readers to consider their place in the cosmos and their relationship with the Absolute.

In keeping with his mission to encourage open inquiry and the exchange of ideas, Mont Redmond is offering the full book free to read at his website: Ideas Inspired by the Qur’an.

About the Author:

Mont Redmond, a Muslim living in Canada after spending nearly twenty years abroad, presently works as a translator and interpreter. His writing invites readers to reflect on the beliefs we live by, offering a broad and diverse range of subject matter. Aimed at academics, students, believers of all types, and those open to new perspectives, Redmond’s work speaks to anyone seeking inspiration and thoughtful engagement with the deeper issues of faith and modernity.

“Ideas Inspired by the Qur’an” is available now through major online book retailers in Canada, the U.S., and internationally — and free to read online at https://ideas-inspired.blog.

New Book ‘Rigged: The Misadventures of a Classic Wooden Sailboat’ Chronicles a Lifetime of Maritime Mishaps and Family Memories

VICTORIA, B.C., July 2, 2025 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Tony Cond, a retired Royal Canadian Navy Marine Systems Engineer and lifelong sailor, shares a collection of personal stories in his new book, “Rigged: The Misadventures of a Classic Wooden Sailboat” (ISBN: 978-1779622808), released June 2025 through Tellwell Publishing. The book captures decades of misadventures, quiet triumphs, and family traditions centered around a classic 1947 wooden boat named Rufus.

Image caption: Cover, “Rigged: The Misadventures of a Classic Wooden Sailboat,” by Tony Cond.

Born in southern Ontario and raised on the waters of the Muskoka Lakes, Cond’s lifelong connection to sailing began with summers spent navigating the challenges of boat ownership. “Rigged” follows the often humorous, sometimes frustrating, and always meaningful relationship between a family and their boat — a vessel that would ultimately weave itself into the identity of those who cared for it.

Set in Ontario and British Columbia, “Rigged” speaks to readers beyond the sailing community. It’s a story for anyone who has wrestled with a passion project, weathered its surprises, and found the experience shaped who they are. With a blend of dry humour and thoughtful reflection, Cond invites readers to share in the lessons and laughs of a life spent on — and sometimes under — the water.

Tony Cond lives in Victoria, B.C., with his wife Debbie. When not consulting in the marine sector, he enjoys sailing, restoring classic vehicles, and gardening.

“Rigged: The Misadventures of a Classic Wooden Sailboat” is now available through major online book retailers.

80th Anniversary of Auschwitz Liberation Marked by the Release of ‘Kalman & Leopold – Surviving Mengele’s Auschwitz,’ told in their own words

VANCOUVER, B.C., Canada, Jan. 20, 2025 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — On January 27, 2025, the world will commemorate the 80th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz. On this historic day, author Richard K. Lowy launches ”Kalman and Leopold – Surviving Mengele’s Auschwitz” (ISBN: 978-1779410092), a powerful firsthand account of resilience and survival in the face of unimaginable evil, released by Tellwell Publishing.

Image caption: ”Kalman and Leopold – Surviving Mengele’s Auschwitz” by Richard K. Lowy.

This extraordinary book tells the true story of two young boys—Leopold, the author’s father, and his friend Kalman—both twins from separate families, who were brought together in Auschwitz and became victims of Dr. Josef Mengele’s brutal experiments. Separated from their twin sisters, the boys endured harrowing conditions in “Mengele’s Zoo” and witnessed the inner workings of the camp’s hospital barracks and SS guard shack. Their bond and courage helped them survive the horrors that claimed millions.

For six and a half months, Leopold became Kalman’s protector, guiding him through the horrors of the guard shack with his sharp wit and unwavering courage. When the Russian Army liberated Auschwitz in January 1945, the boys were separated and presumed each other dead. For 56 years, Kalman searched for “his Lipa,” the boy who protected him.

Why This Story Matters

Eighty years after the liberation of Auschwitz, Holocaust survivors’ voices are fading. Kalman and Leopold preserves an unparalleled perspective, offering firsthand insights into Mengele’s experiments and the unique experiences of twin children imprisoned in Auschwitz. The book highlights not just the atrocities but also the extraordinary resilience of the human spirit.

A Timely Call to Action

As antisemitism and Holocaust denial rise globally, Kalman and Leopold serves as both a warning and a call to preserve history. This anniversary is not just a remembrance—it is a demand to confront hatred, uphold the truth, and educate future generations.

Events Honoring the Release

On January 27, commemorative events and discussions will take place worldwide to honor this milestone. The release of Kalman and Leopold will be central to these efforts, offering a deeply personal narrative that connects history to the ongoing fight against prejudice and oppression.

Praise for “Kalman & Leopold”

“Lowy’s narrative technique immerses readers in the lived experiences of his subjects, making their pain, resilience, and humanity palpable in ways that transcend traditional historical documentation.” – K.C. Finn for Readers’ Favorite

About the Author:

Richard K. Lowy, the son of Leopold, is an internationally acclaimed producer and creative director whose work has spanned collaborations with legendary artists and world leaders. His passion for preserving his father’s history led him to create Leo’s Journey: The Story of the Mengele Twins, a documentary narrated by EGOT-winning actor Christopher Plummer. (leosjourney.com) Lowy’s dedication to honoring the voices of Holocaust survivors culminates in this deeply personal and historically significant book.

Availability – Book Launch – January 27, 2025

“Kalman & Leopold – Surviving Mengele’s Auschwitz” launches January 27, 2025, on the 80th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz. Available through Amazon and all major online retailers.

Embrace the unknown with a poetry collection that speaks to the soul: Lauren Gouin’s ‘Chasing Shadows’

Through Lauren’s evocative verses, 'Chasing Shadows' delves into themes of love, loss, identity, and resilience

VANCOUVER, B.C., Canada, Nov. 1, 2024 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Rising Canadian poet Lauren Gouin announces the release of her debut poetry collection, “Chasing Shadows” (ISBN: 978-1998190546; Tellwell). Drawing from her own heartache, and inspired by the introspective style of contemporary poets like Rupi Kaur, Lauren crafts a narrative that resonates with anyone who has ever questioned their path in life.

Image caption: “Chasing Shadows” by author Lauren Gouin.

“Chasing Shadows” presents the story of a woman navigating life on autopilot. When the stability she once knew is shattered by an unclear diagnosis and the COVID-19 pandemic, she is forced to embark on an inward journey, exploring the uncharted territories of her mind and heart. On each vulnerable page, she grapples with the question of who she truly is and what she most desires.

Through Lauren’s evocative verses, “Chasing Shadows” delves into themes of love, loss, identity, and resilience. Her poetry doesn’t just tell a story – it evokes a feeling, a memory, a shared experience that makes you feel seen and understood. Whether she’s writing about love, heartbreak, trauma, or healing, her words carry a weight that is both personal and universal.

With its clear language and lack of capitalization, Lauren’s minimalist style strips away the unnecessary. This simplicity is powerful, allowing the emotions behind the words to shine through without distraction. Her poetry delivers powerful messages of heartache and healing in their most distilled form.

Journey through love, loss, and healing, and purchase your copy of “Chasing Shadows” today.

About the Author:

After achieving a bachelor’s degree in history from Queen’s University, Lauren Gouin spent her twenties travelling and living in various countries, on various continents. She lived in Buenos Aires, Argentina for one year and then moved to London, England for three to work in digital marketing.

At the age of 27, her life took an unexpected turn when a mysterious, acute illness forced her to move home. Left with an unclear diagnosis, half a year’s recovery, and total uncertainty, she re-evaluated her life’s direction. The road to a more creative career path became a source of healing as she enrolled in Vancouver Film School’s screenwriting program, a space to explore her love for the vibrational capacity of story. Her journey as a poet was born shortly after her graduation.

She is now a writer/director for TV and film, a script editor, and a story consultant, but really, she is an artist of all sorts with a constant desire to put ideas on a page. Communication is her love language and these are her letters to those out there who, like her, feel drawn to the rhythmic beauty of words.

“Chasing Shadows” is now out through Tellwell Publishing (RRP $8.60) and available through Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Indigo and more.

Author Brian D. McLean Releases New Book ‘Our Global Crisis,’ a Timely Examination of Climate Change and Societal Collapse

VANCOUVER, B.C., Canada, Oct. 29, 2024 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Brian D. McLean, a passionate conservationist and environmentalist, announced the release of his book, “Our Global Crisis” (ISBN: 978-0993607226; Tellwell), an urgent and insightful exploration of the environmental challenges facing humanity today.

Image caption: “Our Global Crisis” by Author Brian D. McLean.

As global temperatures rise, natural disasters intensify, and ecosystems degrade, McLean draws comparisons between modern society and the collapse of past civilizations such as the Incas, the Mayans, and the Rapanui of Easter Island. He warns that, without immediate action, we may be headed toward a similar fate.

“Our Global Crisis” takes readers on a journey through the environmental and societal patterns that have led to the downfall of great civilizations. It explores how climate change, rampant consumerism, and humanity’s ongoing exploitation of the planet are pushing us closer to a tipping point.

“Our thirst for consumer goods and other conveniences of life has grown at an alarming and disproportionate rate compared with our needs. This has put an enormous strain on our ability to locate and extract the natural resources of our planet,” writes McLean. He challenges readers to reconsider their impact on the planet, and offers practical solutions for adapting to the realities of climate change.

“The time for action is now,” McLean states. “Humanity’s ongoing exploitation of Earth has created problems that can no longer be ignored. If Earth and Life are to survive, each of us will need to make sacrifices. It is time to adapt. It is time for us to evolve.”

With 22 years of meticulous research, “Our Global Crisis” not only examines the factors contributing to environmental destruction but also presents a clear path toward sustainability. The final chapter provides actionable steps to avert catastrophe, from rethinking energy consumption to fostering a global commitment to conservation.

About the Author:

Brian D. McLean is a former Medical Laboratory Technologist and Information Systems Specialist who turned his passion for the outdoors into a new career focused on environmental conservation. Over the past two decades, he has worked to restore riparian and temperate forest ecosystems affected by clearcut forestry practices. A keen observer of human nature and a devoted environmentalist, McLean has spent the last 22 years compiling and crafting “Our Global Crisis”. When he isn’t working on environmental restoration, McLean enjoys stargazing and astrophotography.

McGregor Pedals Introduces the Classic Fuzz Pedal

VANCOUVER, B.C. /ScoopCloud/ -- Boutique pedal company McGregor Pedals has launched its newest pedal: The Classic Fuzz. Designed for both guitar and bass, the Classic Fuzz pedal captures the sound, feel, and response of the original 1960s two-transistor fuzz boxes using all modern, stable parts. It is rich, moody, interactive and in the right hands, untamed.

"It follows on the heels of McGregor's previous acclaimed pedals -- designed and hand-soldered in Canada by Garth Heslop -- including the Crunch Transparent Overdrive, a single-channel, low-gain overdrive pedal, and the Crunch Plus Overdrive-distortion, a creamy medium-gain pedal," says company founder Garth Heslop.

Like the new Classic Fuzz, all McGregor Pedals are tuned for both guitar and bass.

See the Classic fuzz guitar demo video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5qo_xljBPnw

See the Classic fuzz bass demo video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rlv-ReP_P3Q

THE CLASSIC FUZZ HAS A STRAIGHTFORWARD THREE-KNOB CONTROL SET AND SIDE-MOUNTED TRIMPOT:

* FUZZ: This allows you to dial in the amount of fuzz required. Since most of the action happens in the upper regions of typical fuzz pots, they used a reverse log pot here so that the final 15% starts at noon.

* BASS: this allows you to dial in the amount of bottom end you want. Fully right, this pedal is thick. For a sound more typical of modern silicon fuzz pedals, dial this back.

* VOLUME: This attenuates the post-effect signal.

* LED Brightness (unmarked trimpot on the side): Please make the adjustment gently using a jeweler's screwdriver.

KEY CLASSIC FUZZ FEATURES:

* Hand soldered in Canada

* High grade components picked for their superior sound and response

* True bypass with heavy duty switch

* Standard 9-volt DC center-negative power operation (no battery compartment)

* Top-mounted audio jacks and power input to help with packed pedal boards

The Classic Fuzz is currently priced at $185 and can be purchased directly from the McGregor Pedals online store via https://www.mcgregorpedals.com/.

Unveiling Hidden Treasures: Louise Dupont’s Journey of Healing and Inspiration

VANCOUVER, B.C. /ScoopCloud/ -- In the quiet corners of memory, amidst the shadows of loss, there often lie hidden treasures waiting to be discovered. For Louise Dupont, author of "Hidden Treasures" (IBSN: 978-0228876014; Tellwell Publishing), the journey to uncover these gems began with a simple photograph - a snapshot of her son.

"The inspiration for Hidden Treasures came from seeing the picture of my son juggling with fire," reflects Dupont. "One day as I was looking at the picture, it came to mind that a book would be written about this."

Yet, it wasn't until she stumbled upon a childhood story penned by her son, nestled among his graduation pictures, that the vision for her book began to crystallize.

"As I read his story I was taken aback by the symbolic messages found in it... I was very comforted by the idea of the ghost made of light that guided my son through the storm and brought him safely home," Dupont shares, her words echoing the poignant themes woven into her son's narrative.

The tale, titled "Lost in the Storm," resonated deeply with Dupont and those who encountered its profound symbolism. "Sure enough - people were quite surprised that such a young person could have written this very meaningful story," she reflects.

With a sense of purpose ignited within her, Dupont embarked on a mission to share her son's story with a wider audience. "Surely the messages contained in this story were not just for my eyes alone," she muses.

Drawing from her own experience of navigating the tumultuous waters of grief and loss, Dupont endeavored to infuse "Hidden Treasures" with a sense of hope and healing. "Since suicide is such a traumatic experience for everyone involved I really wanted the book to be uplifting and healing in nature," she explains.

Guided by words of solace received in sympathy cards and driven by a desire to bring attention to the important topics of suicide and mental health, Dupont meticulously curated every aspect of the book, from its soothing design to the inclusion of children's drawings and healing colors.

"My goal was to create a soothing and peaceful experience for the reader - even though the subject is such a difficult one," she shares.

As "Hidden Treasures" prepares to make its debut, Dupont remains hopeful that her book will serve as a beacon of light for those traversing the labyrinth of grief and healing.

"This endeavor turned out to be my way of bringing attention to the important topics of suicide and mental health issues," she reflects. "I am hopeful that the public will want to explore these themes with me."

In "Hidden Treasures," Louise Dupont invites readers to embark on a journey of discovery, where pain gives way to healing, and the shadows yield to the light of hope.

Rising Incivility Threatens Local Democracies: ‘Save Your City’ Presents an Urgent Roadmap for Civic Culture Renewal

VANCOUVER, B.C. /ScoopCloud/ -- Tellwell Publishing today announced the release of the 5th Anniversary edition of Diane Kalen-Sukra's seminal book "Save Your City: How Toxic Culture Kills Community & What To Do About It" (ISBN: 978-0228810872; paper). In a climate where rising incivility and toxic culture increasingly threaten local democracies, this book arrives as a timely antidote.

This updated and illustrated edition presents a comprehensive "Roadmap to Renewing Civic Culture," equipping community leaders and citizens alike with practical steps to foster collaborative environments of respect, mutual understanding, and civil discourse.

Kalen-Sukra has spent the past five years on a civility tour (https://www.dianekalensukra.com/media), collaborating with local governments and communities across North America and beyond, to highlight and address the ways in which incivility and toxic behavior obstruct the abilities of cities and communities to manage pressing issues such as the infrastructure deficit, homelessness, and public safety.Top of Form

"The escalation of toxic behavior, from insults to threats to physical violence, significantly erodes social trust, reduces civic participation, and undermines policymaking," Kalen-Sukra says. "This cycle further fuels polarization, creating a vicious loop, which too often leads to dysfunction, resignations and even local governance collapse."

This is underscored by findings from the new Brenner Centre for Justice's report, "Intimidation of State and Local Officeholders: A Threat to Democracy," revealing that 40% of local officials are hesitant to seek re-election due to the surge in abuse and an equal number are reluctant to take on important but controversial issues. This trend disproportionately affects women and people of color, thereby limiting diverse viewpoints and ideas.

"In a democracy, might is not right," says Kalen-Sukra. "Resorting to harassment over political differences is both authoritarian and antithetical to democratic values."

"Local officials and governments are increasingly forced to invest in expensive security measures to protect themselves from their own constituents-the very people they represent and serve," Kalen-Sukra says. "This situation is both tragic and absurd."

"In order to thrive, our local democracies depend on our ability to revive the art of living and working well together," says Kalen-Sukra. "We stand at a crossroads: deeper division or collective renewal. The choice is ours."

"Save Your City" Book Summary

"Save Your City" takes readers on a journey from the perilous terrains of "Bullyville," a place where incivility and toxic culture reigns; to an eye-opening visit to classical antiquity for civic wisdom; to the aspirational streets of "Sustainaville," which prioritizes the civic values of respect, collaboration, and shared responsibility in shaping a more inclusive and resilient future.

The successful journey includes a renaissance of civic values and civic education as vital to fostering the type of culture that can sustain us, our democracy, and our planet.

"Save Your City" is a practical manifesto for anyone committed to the hard work of civic culture renewal. Available at all major booksellers.

Author Seval Seer Releases Profound New Book: ‘Om Vel Way: Be Happy and Make Happy’

VICTORIA, B.C. /ScoopCloud/ -- Author Seval Seer has unveiled an enlightening book, "Om Vel Way: Be Happy and Make Happy," (IBSN: 978-1779410658; Nov. 2023) which delves deep into the essence of human existence and the pursuit of true happiness. With a focus on the theme "Be Happy and Make Happy," Seval Seer's book offers a powerful and insightful perspective on the human journey.

In "Om Vel Way," Seval Seer introduces a profound concept, with "OM" representing the spirit, "VEL" symbolizing the sport(i.e., life as a sport), and "Way" depicting how the spirit engages in the sport. The book is grounded in the belief that, at our core, we are evolving awareness, transcending our possessions and experiences. Through this awareness, we can lead authentic lives, guided by the three powers of Verity (to be aware of the higher truth), Evolution (to evolve based on this awareness), and Love (the driving force behind our progress).

The book navigates the obstacles that hinder our path to happiness, primarily our ignorance about our true nature. By embracing evolving awareness and shedding the fixed notions of self, the book reveals a transformative journey toward progressive happiness. It emphasizes self-actualization as the key to becoming our true selves and finding refuge and ultimate fulfillment within.

Author Seval Seer has embarked on a remarkable journey of self-discovery, having lived across different continents. His exploration of profound questions about existence and the fundamental drivers of life culminated in the development of the mental framework presented in "Om Vel Way." This framework seamlessly blends ancient wisdom with modern psychology, offering readers a powerful tool to unlock happiness and authenticity in their lives.

Bikini Empire Announces ‘Dress to Express’ Online Campaign to Raise Awareness of Women’s Mental Health, Self-Care and Individuality

NEW YORK, N.Y. /ScoopCloud/ -- Bikini Empire (BE), a Canadian luxury swimwear line, today announced an international campaign called "Dress to Express" to highlight "dopamine dressing," a psychological, physiological and physical phenomena that ties how we feel to what we wear. BE's goal is to educate and inform women that dressing in any type of clothing should focus on the belief that wearing what makes them feel good is more important than how they look.

BE is a leader in sustainable, ethical bikinis and is launching its newest line in February 2023, focusing its products and messaging on what psychologist's call "enclothed cognition." Colors have long played an impact on the psyche and, historically, have been used to aid in healing. Due to the Covid pandemic, a worldwide economic slowdown, and the long overdue societal discussion about mental health and wellness, BE is refocusing its business model to promote a message of positivity, healing and "Dressing to Express."

BE's business is selling comfortable, sexy and original swimwear. But its owners, Monica and Kelsey Rush, are committed bringing attention to women's mental health, promoting self-care, and making healthy choices to improve how women feel about themselves.

"No one has control over what is going on in our society from a broad perspective," said Monica. "But we do have a choice in how we enrich our lives, overcome pain and suffering, and make a positive decision to improve how we feel about ourselves. Wearing a bikini exposes us physically but it also opens up women to vulnerability, judgment and objectification. BE is committed to helping women realize that they have the power to send a message about how we perceive ourselves - externally and internally. 'Dress to Express' was created to empower women to make decisions based in self-love and expressing individuality."

Bikini Empire is recognized as a cult-classic and considered a trend-setter in women's luxury swimwear focusing on environmentally friendly and sustainable product development. It has evolved to a point where Monica and Kelsey desire to help change women's lives by focusing on the connection between clothing and emotional well-being.

As they work towards launching their new swimwear line, BE is unveiling a series of blogs, articles and promotions online to spread the message of how "dopamine dressing" is woven into the fabric of both their corporate mission as well as its products.

For more information about BE's "Dress to Express" movement, please visit BE's social media sites on Facebook, Instagram and TikTok (#Bikiniempire and/or #BEdresstoexpress).

A new book illuminating the real life impacts of depression and anxiety through an evocative fictional narrative

VANCOUVER, B.C. /ScoopCloud/ -- Author Paul G. Swingle's new novel "Silhouette" (ISBN: 979-8545559596; released Aug., 2022) delivers a brilliant and deceptively simple story, giving us insight into the hearts of two lonely souls. They gaze at each other from a distance, dreaming of forming a bond. Will their fears, depression, and anxiety prevent them from connecting?

On the night of a blue moon, while walking his dog, middle-aged widower Jim sees Gladys on the roof of a neighboring apartment building and is inspired to speak with her. There's just one problem: she can't hear him.

Indeed, Jim isn't even sure that Gladys truly exists-that she isn't just a rooftop patio umbrella silhouetted against the moon. Hampered by debilitating social anxiety, he cannot work up the courage to even wave.

Yet Jim returns to the same spot night after night, and Gladys - who is indeed real - sees him and becomes equally interested. She even contributes to their "conversation," though he cannot hear her either. And while Gladys struggles with her own demons - self-loathing and depression - she is lifted by Jim's attention, even as she describes how difficult her life has been.

Two characters, driven by sadness and a longing to connect. Will they?

Drink HRW Hydrogen Tablets Improve Markers of Aging in the Elderly

COQUITIAM, B.C. /ScoopCloud/ -- Aging is a reality that we all deal with, with age-related diseases creating a massive burden on our healthcare system. In recent years, researchers have begun exploring therapeutics that could potentially stave off, or even reverse, some of the deterioration associated with aging. Now, Drink HRW reports that a new randomized, placebo controlled clinical trial that followed elderly participants for 6 months, published online October 1st in Experimental Gerontology, explains that high doses of hydrogen water (HRW), delivered via hydrogen tablets, could be an effective strategy at improving multiple age-related measurements and outcomes in an elderly population.

The randomized, placebo-controlled cross-over trial compared the effects of chronic administration of hydrogen-rich water, created by hydrogen tablets, against baseline conditions and placebo control for numerous markers associated with the aging process in an elderly population (70+). Participants consumed either HRW, or placebo water, for 6 months. HRW lengthened telomeres, whereas the placebo group saw a decrease, improved brain metabolism, lowered subjective reports of pain, improved parameters within the senior fitness test, and led to strong trends regarding improvements in DNA methylation, increased antioxidant activity, and reduced oxidative stress.

Shortening telomeres have been hypothesized as being a causative factor in the aging process. As telomeres shorten, incidence of disease and deterioration increases, and survival outcomes decrease. Additionally, a decline in brain metabolism has been linked to onset of many neurological issues.

Sergej Ostojic, M.D., PH.D., Professor of Medicine at the University of Novi Sad, a senior author of the Experimental Gerontology study said, "We have been investigating hydrogen use in medicine in my lab for over a decade, and we already recognized its potential to improve metabolic health and every-day functioning in elderly. However, this study for the first time demonstrated its potential to improve several molecular and phenotypic biomarkers of aging. It's perhaps too early to say that hydrogen is an anti-aging compound but this study opens a new chapter in hydrogen research and implementation, and emphasizes several pathways linked with hydrogen action in the human body."

Alex Tarnava, Chief Executive Officer of Drink HRW said, "The aging process leads to deterioration and disruption in many of the key functions within our bodies. Molecular hydrogen has shown across 2000 publications and 120+ human studies to play a corrective role in restoring many of these proper functions, such as improving metabolic markers, promoting a healthy inflammatory response, and supporting the delicate harmony between our bodies natural levels of antioxidants and beneficial oxidative stressors. This is an important study that demonstrates the potential or high-dose hydrogen therapy to slow down, or even temporarily reverse, some of the deterioration aging causes."

Tarnava added, "At Drink HRW we deliver the highest dosage and concentration of hydrogen in water instantly available anywhere in the world, and we are committed to supporting research around the world to better understand this important and fascinating molecule. We work with researchers to search for the truth, believing strongly that the researchers, not private companies, should have the sole authority to decide if they will publish results. We believe pursuit of the truth and integrity in research is the best path towards long term growth."

Sergej Ostojic is a senior biomedical scientist with a broad research background in medicine, applied physiology, and nutrition. He is a board-certified M.D. and holds a Ph.D in Medical Sciences. Dr. Ostojic currently works as a full professor of biomedical sciences at the University of Novi Sad, and an adjunct professor at the University of Belgrade School of Medicine. His research expertise and experience include pre-clinical and clinical development of mitochondria-related nutraceuticals and nutritional supplements, tissue-specific metabolic assessment and translation, and work physiology.

He has authored more than 200 scientific papers, 30 book chapters and books, and 5 patent applications, and has been the recipient of internationally competitive research scholarships including a WADA Scientific Research Grant, the NSCA International Award, research grants from the World Health Organization and European Commission, and many industrial endowments.

Drink HRW Hydrogen Tablets Outperform Caffeine in Improving Brain Metabolism After Sleep Deprivation

COQUITIAM, B.C. /ScoopCloud/ -- The COVID-19 pandemic is creating unprecedented levels of sleep deprivation, which presents a significant risk to mental and physical health, says Drink HRW. Additionally, "COVID-somnia," a term coined to describe the rising prevalence of insomnia following COVID-19 infection, has begun to emerge.

Now, a new randomized, controlled cross-over pilot trial, published online, "Mondayin Food Science & Nutrition," explains that high doses of hydrogen water (HRW) are more effective than caffeine in positively impacting brain metabolism for sleep-deprived men and women. Importantly, the study is replicative in nature, after earlier research demonstrated that hydrogen water and caffeine were equivalent overall in raising attention in sleep-deprived individuals yet had an impact on different domains of alertness: Hydrogen improves orienting to sensory stimulation, while caffeine alters awareness and executive attention that refers to the ability to regulate responses in conflict situations.

The randomized, placebo-controlled cross-over pilot trial compared the acute effects of single-dose HRW, caffeine, or HRW and caffeine combined against a placebo beverage on parameters of attention and brain metabolism following sleep deprivation. HRW displayed a more robust effect on brain metabolism as compared to caffeine, leading to higher choline-to-creatine ratio levels in the frontal and paracentral brain as measured via MRI brain scans.

Additionally, HRW was superior to caffeine and the placebo in reducing the number of errors in the symbol digit modalities test (SDMT) and trail making test in the sleep-deprived individuals. HRW displayed no side effects and, therefore, might be advanced as a safe and effective alternative to caffeine to address some of the effects of sleep deprivation, with more studies on the subject highly warranted.

The trail making test is a neuropsychological test of visual attention and task switching, while the SDMT detects cognitive impairment. Brain metabolism was evaluated with proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy, a non-invasive gold-standard method to assess changes in creatine, choline, and N-acetylasparate across the brain.

Sergej Ostojic, M.D., PH.D., Professor of Medicine at the University of Novi Sad, a senior author of the Food Science & Nutrition study said, "This was another study by our group that confirmed possible nootropic effects of hydrogen-rich water in sleep-deprived men and women; these effects appear to be accompanied by notable changes in brain metabolism, with frontal brain specifically targeted by HRW. We used here robust methodology but still have to learn how HRW affects brain functioning at the cellular and subcellular level."

Alex Tarnava, Chief Executive Officer of Drink HRW said, "Sleep deprivation, poor diet, and countless other stressors we are bombarded with every day contribute to disruptions in many of the most critical functions our bodies have. Molecular hydrogen has shown across 1500 publications and 120 human studies to play a corrective role in restoring many of these proper functions, such as improving metabolic markers, promoting a healthy inflammatory response, and supporting the delicate harmony between our bodies natural levels of antioxidants and beneficial oxidative stressors."

"At Drink HRW we deliver the highest dosage and concentration of hydrogen in water instantly available anywhere in the world, and we are committed to supporting research around the world to better understand this important and fascinating molecule. We work with researchers to search for the truth, believing strongly that the researchers, not private companies, should have the sole authority to decide if they will publish results. We believe pursuit of the truth and integrity in research is the best path towards long term growth."

HRW supplied the hydrogen tablets for the study. It had no other involvement in the research.
