BioTE Medical Poised to Change Healthcare as it Expands into Georgia

ATLANTA, Ga., May 11, 2016 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- BioTE(R) Medical, a leader in bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT), is expanding its nationwide network of certified physicians into the Atlanta, Georgia market this month.

BioTE(R) Medical has experienced rapid growth in just a few short years due to physicians and patients seeking natural alternatives to synthetic hormone products to reverse the symptoms that decreasing hormone levels can cause. BioTE(R) uses cardio-activated pellets about the size of a grain of rice which are inserted just below the surface of the skin. This allows a patient to receive hormones consistently in the same way the body releases them naturally for up to six months. This beats other methods that must be applied weekly and sometimes daily rendering inconsistent results.

National health and fitness celebrity Larry North states, "The fact that I can live better with optimized hormones with only two treatments a year has changed the way I actually live my life. I think about all the hours I spent receiving weekly shots.... I will never get all that time back that I could have spent with my family."

BioTE(R) founder and president, Gary Donovitz, M.D., says, "At BioTE, we offer a natural way for patients to experience the benefits of BHRT using the BioTE method. We work to optimize hormone levels unique to each individual. This helps maximize the benefits a patient can receive. Thousands of our patients across the United States experience life-changing results monthly. We are committed to changing healthcare by allowing patients to take control of the quality of their lives while protecting their health. It is time for us to expand our 1200+ provider network into Georgia to meet the demand we are seeing across the nation."

The benefits of BHRT are far from new. Almost 80 years of data support that BHRT can prevent of age-related illnesses in men and women. BHRT can ease symptoms that often accompany declining hormone levels and help patients experience increased mental clarity, a greater ability to lose stubborn pounds, improved muscle strength, better sleep, fewer mood swings, and more energy. Also, optimized hormones help protect the brain, bones, breasts, and heart and can increase bone mass up to 8.3% per year.

Celebrity, author, and health advocate, Suzanne Somers, is a firm believer in the benefits of BHRT. In her conversation with Dr. Donovitz, she reveals how hormone therapy is the best thing she has ever done for herself and her marriage (VIDEO): https://youtu.be/udAoT9sJTgs .

BioTE(R) Medical's network of physicians are trained by world-renowned doctors. BioTE's panel of trainers and speakers comprises the most highly qualified, most knowledgeable experts in hormone optimization in the world. Once certified, physicians have on-going access to BioTE(R) Medical's experts and receive continuing education opportunities to stay up-to-date on the most current BHRT information available.

To receive your free copy of Dr. Donovitz's best-selling book, "Age Healthier, Live Happier," pre-register now for an upcoming BioTE(R) Medical seminar in the Atlanta area*: http://www.biotemedical.com/signup .

Learn more about BioTE(R) and the benefits of BHRT at http://www.BioTEmedical.com .

*Free copies available to the first 100 pre-registrants. Must attend the seminar to receive Dr. Donovitz's book.

XanCan, LLC expands its Concept of Texturing Beyond Aluminum Beverage Cans into the Wonderful World of Aerosols

ATLANTA, Ga., April 26, 2016 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- XanCan, LLC, a U.S. based company, today announced the expansion of its textured aluminum beverage can concept (patent pending) into the aerosol can markets. Functional changes to the aerosol can as we know it have been minimal since its introduction. The idea of texturing the sidewall of an aerosol can (patent pending) is both innovative and revolutionary. XanCan(TM) breathes new life into an old favorite while adding personality, flare and of course, function.

"We are excited about the unveiling of XanCan-Aerosol and we believe we have the unique opportunity here to not only be part of the market, but to revolutionize it," says Dormini Mangum, CTO of XanCan. "XanCan-Aerosol is ideal for pressurized cans across a number of industries from food and beverage, to personal hygiene, to automotive, and beyond. With endless pattern options, we can stimulate any marketing campaign and create that competitive edge that helps define a brand."

Why XanCan? The majority of beverages sold in aluminum cans both beer and soda alike, are best enjoyed cold. Once removed from its cold environment and placed in the ambient air, condensation forms on the can. This scenario created a unique opportunity for XanCan in the beverage industry. Aerosol cans are a little different.

The opportunity with aerosol cans exist for a number of reasons but comes down to two things, oil and moisture. Whether wet hands attempting to grip shaving cream, sun block, or body spray - or - oily hands feverishly trying to spray vegetable oil, hair spray or lubricant onto that over-tightened screw, a textured sidewall just makes sense. XanCan-Aerosol helps alleviate this issue with fun patterns created by texturing the sidewalls; thereby improving the grip, handling, performance and comfort of aerosol cans.

To learn more visit: http://www.XanCan.com/ or email us at: info@XanCan.com.

About XanCan, LLC:

Based in the suburbs of Atlanta, Ga., the XanCan(TM) brand was launched with the vision of revolutionizing the industry with products that embodies creativity and purpose. XanCan(TM) changes the way we look at both beverage and aerosol cans and raises the bar by creating a product that puts customer needs first, while offering companies another opportunity to solve a problem and distinguish their brand. Our concept has been widely received, and recognized for combining functionality and design. XanCan, LLC revolutionizes both Beverage and Aerosol cans and drive marketability through customization.

2016 Alabama Book Festival display to feature the new fiction trilogy ‘The Pray-ers’ by Mark S Mirza

ATLANTA, Ga., April 11, 2016 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- CTM Publishing's display at the 2016 Alabama Book Festival will feature the new fiction trilogy "The Pray-ers" by Mark S Mirza. The 11th annual Alabama Book Festival will be held at Old Alabama Town in downtown Montgomery on Saturday, April 23, 2016. The Festival is the state's premier literary event and attracts thousands of people from around the State and the Southeast.

LEARNING PRAYER THRU THE FUN OF A NOVEL: "THE PRAY-ERS":

Author / Speaker Mark S Mirza states, "I want people to enjoy a novel and at the end of the book to realize that they have learned how to pray through the example of the three historical figures in this book: Epaphras from the first century Christian Church, Brother Alexander Rich from the period of the American Civil War, and Coach Dale Riley of the current era."

Mark's desire to write "The Pray-ers" was impacted by his favorite writers including all of Joel Rosenberg's novels, Jerry Jenkins "Precinct 11" series, Tim LaHaye and Craig Parshall's "Joshua Jordan" series, Tim LaHaye's "Babylon Rising" series, and C. S. Lewis and his famous "Narnia" series. Mark also enjoys the work of Frederick Forsyth and John Lescroat. He especially liked the way John Lescroat writes completely different books with the characters from his previous books.

When asked what he is seeing on prayer in the bookstores, Mark answers: "Lots of great 'how to' books and lots of great theory. I'm not looking to compete with any of the great writers out there. I wanted to write something very unique: learning prayer through the fun of a novel. What you are not seeing in the bookstores is a book like 'The Pray-ers.'"

About Mark S Mirza:

Mark S Mirza is an author, speaker, and student of prayer. He led Dr. Charles Stanley's Men's Prayer Ministry at First Baptist Church Atlanta for four and a half years before entering full-time ministry.

A February report from Forbes that resurfaced in several metro papers this week proclaims Atlanta the nation's fastest-aging city - meaning lots of Atlanta-area residents either qualify for a reverse mortgage now or will in the near future.

* Forbes,
* Huffington Post,
* CNBC,
* The Seattle Times
* and more.

Button is uniquely qualified to provide media professionals with insight into current reverse mortgage lending and technology trends. He is a seasoned speaker whose reverse mortgage commentary and subject-matter expertise has been featured in diverse publications including Forbes, HousingWire, National Mortgage News, National Mortgage Professional, Reverse Mortgage Daily and The Reverse Review. Button's company, ReverseVision, is recognized as a driving innovator in the reverse mortgage industry. A January 2016 conference hosted by the technology provider was attended by 67 different companies with representation from four of the nation's top five reverse lenders.

In addition to media interviews, Button is meeting with Atlanta-area mortgage lenders interested in learning more about growing a reverse mortgage channel.

To schedule an interview, please contact:

About John Button:

John Button is a business-to-business executive, investor and entrepreneur with more than 30 years' experience in technology and strategic business development. Before joining ReverseVision as president and CEO, Button served as chief operating officer for Del Mar DataTrac (DMD), a leading innovator in mortgage lending automation and maker of the highly regarded mortgage loan origination system (LOS) DataTrac. His role with DMD encompassed overall business operations, product management, customer support, professional services and information technology.

Georgia-based author and educational consultant, Mychal Wynn, focuses on expanding college access for lower income and first generation students

ROSWELL, Ga., Nov. 30, 2015 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- Georgia-based author and educational consultant, Mychal Wynn, is working to expand college access for lower income and first generation students. Wynn notes, "As students nationally apply to college over the coming months, students who will be the first in their family to attend college and those from low-income families, will be particularly at risk of making the wrong college choice."

Wynn adds, "Even those students who have successfully navigated their way into their final year of high school, studies show that such students will experience multiple challenges from identifying the right colleges and financial resources, to fully completing and submitting college applications, filing the FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid), meeting financial aid deadlines, submitting enrollment deposits, and actually enrolling in college in the fall following high school."

Wynn says that while policymakers are discussing how to respond the plethora of research pertaining to these challenges, he has developed a means of providing immediate support for such students. "I have written a collection of quick guides and over 50 downloadable activities that parents, teachers, mentors, and support organizations can use to provide guidance and assist students in overcoming these challenges. Self-motivated students can use the activities to navigate their way through each part of the college admissions and financial aid processes."

Rev. Don Ezell, parent and Youth Pastor of the Turner Chapel AME Church in Marietta, Georgia notes, "The downloadable activities that Mychal has created represent an easy to use curricula that anyone interested in assisting students in navigating the college admissions and financial aid processes can use. I used the activities in assisting my own children, who are now both enrolled in college, and our church's Education Ministry, where Mr. and Mrs. Wynn serve as the Ministry Leaders, have used the activities to assist students in navigating their way into top colleges and high dollar scholarships like the Gates Millennium Scholars program for several years. The ability to use a $1.95 activity to save hundreds of dollars in fees or to earn thousands of dollars in scholarships is an unimaginable return on investment."

Mychal Wynn's website ( http://mychalwynn.com/ ) outlines the complete scope of his work, while the Rising Sun Publishing website ( http://rspublishing.com/ ) provides a full range of Mr. Wynn's college planning resources and activities.

Drive Safer Sunday is November 29 – Reminds Drivers of Special Danger on Year’s Busiest Travel Day

ATHENS, Ga., Nov. 23, 2015 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- The 11th annual observance of Drive Safer Sunday on November 29, 2015 reminds Americans taking holiday road trips to focus on being rested and attentive to dangers inside and outside their cars, says Road Safe America.

Drive Safer Sunday falls on what is traditionally the busiest highway travel day of the year - the Sunday following Thanksgiving. It has been recognized, again this year, prompted by an official Resolution from the U.S. Senate.

The observance is sponsored by Road Safe America, a non-profit dedicated to reducing collisions between tractor-trailers and passenger vehicles. Steve Owings and his wife, Susan, founded Road Safe America in 2003 after their son, Cullum, was killed when his car - stopped in an interstate traffic jam - was crushed from behind by a speeding tractor trailer going eight miles per hour above the posted speed limit on cruise control. That crash occurred on the Sunday after Thanksgiving as Cullum returned to college after spending the week at home in Atlanta with his family and friends.

"The Sunday after Thanksgiving will always be a painful one for our family," Steve Owings said. "But we hope that by raising awareness of the dangers of holiday travel, other lives will be spared and other families will not have to deal with needless, tragic loss."

U.S. Department of Transportation statistics show that, among the 40,000 average highway deaths each year during the past decade, over 500 are truckers and about 4,000 are auto drivers and passengers involved in collisions with big trucks.

RSA reminds everyone traveling during Thanksgiving - and the Christmas and New Year's holidays to come - to:

- Get plenty of rest before setting out and take frequent breaks to remain alert.

- Consider driving during off-peak travel hours to minimize congestion.

- Avoid unnecessary distractions behind the wheel - including loud sound systems and the use of any hand-held devices. Remember that in many states, a hand-held phone - and particularly texting behind the wheel - has become illegal.

- Give large trucks plenty of room since they can't see as well, maneuver as quickly, or stop in the same distance as passenger vehicles can.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Minister Louis Farrakhan Uniting to Demand Truth and Transparency from Alleged Fraud by CDC

ATLANTA, Ga., Oct. 20, 2015 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- The Vaccine-Injury Awareness League today announced that concerned individuals from all across the nation will gather to demand an end to "corruption" at the CDC and to promote mercury-free vaccines.

WHERE/WHEN: Atlanta, Ga.
10/23/2015 7 a.m. - 2 p.m.; Public sidewalks outside CDC Headquarters: 1600 Clifton Road.
10/24/2015 NOON - 4 p.m. Grant Park: 840 Cherokee Ave SE (near Berne St. SE & Boulevard SE).

WHAT/WHO: Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Minister Tony Muhammad of the Nation of Islam, Barbara Loe Fisher of the National Vaccine Information Center, Ron Cummins of Organic Consumers Association, ParentalRights.org among several others.

WHY: It has been over a year (August 2014) since a Senior Research Scientist within the CDC has come forward with allegations of falsified safety data -- the very data upon which vaccine public policy is made. Congressman William Posey of Florida has urged Congress to investigate these claims and to date, no investigation has begun.

Parents demand answers and accountability. Since the National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act of 1986 which eliminated any liability for pharmaceutical manufacturers, the number of recommended childhood vaccines has more than tripled and we have seen a decline in the health and vitality of our children with among the worst infant mortality rate in the developed world. Since the whistleblower's allegations, several states have introduced Bills to mandate vaccines - such as California's SB277, signed into Law June 2015.

These individuals stand united; all races, creeds, colors, religions to demonstrate against the corruption within the CDC's vaccine division.

ATLANTA, Ga., March 10, 2015 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- EPIC Insurance Brokers and Consultants, a retail property & casualty insurance brokerage and employee benefits consultant, announced that they have added Panda Mortality and Transit Insurance to a growing list of specialty risk management products and consulting services that the rapidly growing national firm provides.

Zoo Atlanta is a long-time client of EPIC's Dan Houston, Senior Vice President of Enterprise Risk Management, based in Atlanta, Georgia. Last month, Houston was presented with a unique opportunity to assist the Zoo with insurance protection for some very special residents: giant pandas.

Zoo Atlanta is one of only four zoos in the U.S. housing giant pandas, which are an endangered species, and the iconic bears represent the Zoo's most significant conservation investment to date. Female Lun Lun and male Yang Yang arrived at the Zoo in 1999 on loan from China, and a total of five cubs have been born since 2006. The most recent of these are Mei Lun and Mei Huan, the only pair of giant panda twins in the U.S.

Per the Zoo's loan agreement with China, each of Lun Lun's and Yang Yang's offspring returns to China when he or she is of age. The twins' three older siblings, male Mei Lan, male Xi Lan, and female Po, now reside at China's Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding.

Houston and Senior Account Manager Connie Draime, who design, place and manage all business insurance for the Zoo, recently added Panda Mortality Insurance to their program. This unique, manuscript coverage insures the pandas while at Zoo Atlanta as well as during their travels to China. The EPIC team also manages Transit Insurance Coverage for the giant pandas' journey to their parents' homeland.

EPIC's Panda Mortality Insurance Coverage was placed with Lloyd's of London, and both John Stoesser with IDEAL Marine and the Lloyd's of London underwriter Lorraine Mills visited the Zoo and the giant pandas during the coverage design and underwriting process.

Dan Houston has over 25 years of experience in the insurance industry, plus broad experience with animals, both professionally and personally. In the past, Houston provided risk management and insurance services for CNN owner Ted Turner and his Bison ranches. Dan and his wife Virginia also co-own and operate Houston's Horse Farm in Canton, Georgia.

Red Bag Solutions Named a TAG Top 10 Innovative Technology Company

ATLANTA, Ga., March 27, 2012 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- The Technology Association of Georgia (TAG), the state's leading association dedicated to the promotion and economic advancement of Georgia's technology industry, has name Red Bag Solutions as one of its Top 10 Innovative Technology Companies in Georgia.

The coveted Top 10 Innovative Technology Company Awards recognize Georgia-based companies for their innovation, financial impact and their efforts at spreading awareness of Georgia's technology initiatives throughout the U.S. and beyond. Each Top 10 company presented their innovation on-stage during the 2012 Georgia Technology Summit (GTS) on March 28, 2012, at Cobb Galleria Centre.

"Red Bag Solutions' technology is not only changing the medical waste disposal industry, the company is also putting Georgia on the map as a state where technology innovation can thrive," said Tino Mantella, president and CEO of TAG. "We applaud each of these companies for standing out as leaders in Georgia's technology community and look forward to showcasing them at our annual Georgia Technology Summit."

Red Bag Solutions (www.redbagozone.com) offers patented technology and equipment for the on-site processing of regulated medical waste. Since 1990 Red Bag Solutions has offered Steam Sterilization and Maceration (SSM) for safe, community friendly on-site processing of bio-hazardous waste. In 2011, Red Bag Solutions released its new Ozone Sterilization and Maceration (OSM) technology, a groundbreaking innovation for which it is being recognized as TAG Top 10 Company. Ozone sterilization and maceration is more environmentally friendly and less costly than comparable bio-hazardous waste management alternatives and represents a giant leap forward in sustainable bio-hazardous waste management.

"The competition for Top 10 recognition was particularly fierce this year," said Dennis Zakas, a partner and founder of Zakas & Leonard, LLP, Chair of Group Office Buys, LLC, and chairperson of the Top 40 Selection Committee. "The Top 10 demonstrate the depth and breadth of Georgia's technology community. We are pleased to recognize this group of companies and believe that the community will be just as impressed as we are by their innovation and impact on Georgia's technology industry."

The Georgia Technology Summit is TAG's flagship event that brings together C-level executives, entrepreneurs, technology professionals and academia to celebrate and recognize Georgia's technology community. This year's theme, Innovation: The Path to a Bright Future, builds upon TAG's public awareness campaign to promote Georgia's technology industry through an emphasis on the fastest-growing tech clusters in the state, including health IT, information security, financial technology, logistics and communication services.
