In the Shadow of Lies, Bi-racial Woman Struggles to Find Love, Family and Faith
Dallas, TX, April 23, 2021 — Natalia Foster pretends it doesn’t matter that she’s never known her biological father and that she’s never had a real father-daughter bond. She pretends it doesn’t affect her relationships with men, and that she doesn’t despise him for what he did. But she does.
Natalia’s biological father, Joe, was a handsome man of Italian descent when he met her beautiful mother, who’s Black. Although he was married with three children when they met, it hadn’t stopped them from conceiving Natalia. Twenty-eight years later, Joe’s wife and family still know nothing of Natalia’s existence. But when word spreads that Joe has a terminal illness, Natalia feels compelled to meet him and salvage what little time with him she has left. But at what cost to Joe’s devoted wife, Rosa, and their grown children?
The Wool Over Their Eyes, from Dione Martin, is an authentic, heartfelt story about complex family dynamics and the emotions that must be unpacked when long-buried secrets push their way to the surface.
In the midst of Natalia’s family drama and pain is also a love story. Natalia must choose between two loves — a long-lost one and a new one. Her ex-boyfriend, Tyler Davis, who captured her heart and connected with her soul, resurfaces. But she meets a handsome doctor, David Duplessis, who’d cared for her father. Just as the relationship begins to blossom, David commits an act that severs her trust and sends her spiraling further into her dark abyss.
The Wool Over Their Eyes is loosely based on Martin’s personal experiences. She drew upon her own memories and insights of growing up without her biological father and being betrayed in her own marriage to inform her narrative and give her characters depth and authenticity.
“I wrote The Wool Over Their Eyes for fatherless girls, for women who have been betrayed, for those who have been rejected because of their race (or otherness) and for families that have been torn apart by secrets, lies and deception,” Martin reflects. “Healing is possible – through change, through empathy, through faith and through forgiveness.”
Author Dione Martin was born and raised in New Orleans, where she spent much of her childhood and teen years reading. She earned her Bachelor’s in English from the University of Minnesota-Morris and her Master’s in Journalism from the University of Texas at Austin. She is currently a senior communications director at Brinker International. She lives in Dallas with her two daughters and enjoys running, cooking, performing arts and attempting DIY projects. The Wool Over Their Eyes is her debut novel, and she is working on her next one.
“About Natalie is groundbreaking. It doesn’t preach or pretend to offer a panacea. Instead, it offers a refreshing, authentic look at one family’s struggle with addiction, easily the most powerful book published on the subject in the 21st century.”— Dr. Maryel McKinley PhD, Addictions Expert, Former Co-Host, “All Talk Recovery Radio,” Los Angeles, Arbitron rated No. 1 in Southern California
Pittsburgh, PA, April 23, 2021 — Like the band that played on as the Titanic sank, Christine Naman unpacked the groceries and made a meatloaf — the simple act of normalcy distracting her from an unthinkable reality: addiction was pulling her daughter under.
“Even with the picture of the situation coming more clearly into focus, I clung to denial like a kayaker who has been thrown from his boat would cling to a branch lying across the water,” Christine says. “It is amazing how deep into denial a person can go and how strongly they can hang onto it before reality smacks them around enough so that they let go.”
Christinetraces her daughter's years-long battle with addiction in About Natalie, a gripping, cautionary tale of how, in spite of a loving family and a comfortable life, a child can end up on the wrong path, meet the wrong people and get lost in the unthinkable.
About Natalie takes readers deep inside Christine’s emotional and mental turmoil as she grows into her new, unfortunate role as the parent of an addict. She steps on syringes left on the floor and wrestles one from the family dog’s mouth. She lives the nightmare of finding an unresponsive child on the floor and uses Narcan to revive her. She chases away a drug dealer and stays up all night waiting for her missing child to come home. She rejoices during periods of recovery and hope and is devastated during relapses. When her daughter suffers, Christine suffers right along with her.
Interwoven with Christine’s reflections are Natalie’s compelling poems that share her personal pain and the unvarnished truth of her struggle.
At its core, About Natalie is a story of fighting for — and right alongside — the ones we love, no matter how difficult the circumstances. It is a story of keeping the faith, battling hard and never giving up.
Bestselling author Christine Pisera Naman is a wife to a beautiful man named Peter and a mother to three fantastic kids named Jason, Natalie and Trevor. In her free time, she enjoys crocheting, which she does poorly; painting, again poorly; and volunteering at her local hospital, which she hopes she does well. She is the author of the Faces of Hope series of books that are now housed in the 9/11 Memorial Museum in New York City. Her other works include Caterpillar Kisses, Christmas Lights, The Novena and The Believers.About Natalie is her heart poured onto paper.
She hopes that by sharing her family’s difficult story she can bring understanding and knowledge to those who do not know the problem firsthand as well as provide comfort to those who know the nightmare of addiction all too well.

Meningitis Canada Urges Policy Makers to Help Defeat Meningitis
WATERLOO, Ontario, April 23, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- This World Meningitis Day (April 24th), Meningitis Foundation Canada (MFC) is raising awareness of this ‘indiscriminate killer disease’ and calling on all Canadian provincial and territorial policymakers to act to #DefeatMeningitis by 2030.
“This call aligns with the newly ratified ‘Global Roadmap to Defeat Meningitis by 2030’,” said MFC spokesperson, Michael Redfearn. The newly ratified ‘Global Roadmap to Defeat Meningitis’ is led by a WHO-multi-organization partnership.
Understandably, countries worldwide are focused on COVID-19. Tragically, the pandemic also threatens to bring back diseases that we can largely prevent, like meningitis. The pandemic has caused disruptions in immunization services and once many people are vaccinated and able to gather again, the number of cases of infectious diseases like meningitis are expected to rise.
Dr. Joanne Langley, infectious disease physician and MFC senior medical advisor, says, “The pandemic has helped the world realize the life-saving potential of vaccines. While we focus on providing access to COVID-19 vaccines, it is important to remember to keep up to date on all immunizations so that we are protected against meningitis, blood infections, pneumonia and many other serious illnesses.”
In honor of World Meningitis Day, the CN Tower will display the green, blue, and teal colours of the MFC logo, to draw attention to a deadly though vaccine preventable disease. As it does most evenings, beginning at sunset, a standard light show from the CN Tower will run for 8 minutes at the top of every hour, followed by another light show on the half hour. The night lighting will be visible by webcam on the CN Tower website.
Meningitis is a potentially deadly inflammation of the brain and spinal cord, which result from infection by bacteria, viruses, and fungi. Bacterial meningitis is the most severe type and is a medical emergency. It can strike quickly, be difficult to diagnose, and can lead to death in a matter of hours. Even with prompt diagnosis and treatment, approximately 10% of patients die and up to 20% or more sustain permanent damage and disability such as loss of limbs, deafness, and cognitive impairment. There are effective vaccines now available to protect against many of the bacteria that cause meningitis and septicemia.
Health Canada initiates the review of the rolling submission for the first Canadian-based COVID-19 vaccine candidate
QUEBEC CITY, April 23, 2021 /CNW Telbec/ - Medicago, a biopharmaceutical company headquartered in Quebec City is pleased to announce that Health Canada received for review the first portion of Medicago's plant-derived COVID-19 vaccine candidate rolling submission on April 19, 2021.
The Interim Order (IO) rolling submission allows Medicago to submit nonclinical sections, quality and clinical safety, and efficacy information as they become available for Health Canada's immediate review to accelerate the overall review process. Health Canada will not decide on whether to authorize any vaccine being considered under the IO rolling review until it has received the complete evidence to support the risk/benefit decision based on safety, efficacy and quality of the COVID-19 vaccine candidate.
"Health Canada's decision to accept for review the IO rolling submission for Medicago's vaccine, the first Canadian-based COVID-19 vaccine submission, meets an important milestone.," said Carolyn Finkle, Chief Operating Officer of Medicago. "We are grateful to Health Canada and look forward to continuing to work with them as they move forward with review of our COVID-19 vaccine IO rolling submission."
In parallel with the review of the rolling submission, Medicago is conducting the Phase 3 trial. The last portion of the IO rolling submission will be filed after the COVID-19 vaccine efficacy and safety endpoint of the Phase 3 trial is reached.
"We are pleased with the interactions with the Canadian regulatory authority, and we appreciate their guidance and confidence in Medicago to pursue the IO rolling submission in Canada for our COVID-19 vaccine candidate" said Judith Atkins, Vice-President Regulatory Affairs at Medicago.
Medicago has received regulatory approval to launch the Phase 3 portion of its Phase 2/3 clinical development in Canada, USA, UK and Brazil.
Medicago's plant-derived vaccine candidate against COVID-19 uses Coronavirus-Like-Particle (CoVLP) technology with the vaccine composed of recombinant spike (S) glycoprotein expressed as virus-like-particles (VLPs) co-administered with GSK's pandemic adjuvant. Two doses of 3.75 micrograms of CoVLP are administered 21 days apart.
The Phase 3 portion of the study is an event-driven, randomized, observer-blinded, placebo-controlled, two-way cross-over design that will evaluate the efficacy and safety of the adjuvanted CoVLP formulation, compared to placebo. The study will enroll up to 30,000 subjects initially composed of healthy adults (18y to 65y), followed by elderly adults (65y+) and adults with comorbidities. The trial will take place in 10 countries pending regulatory approvals, starting with Canada, the USA, the UK, and Brazil enrolling males and females from ethnically and racially diverse populations.
Medicago is on a mission to improve global public health using the power of plants. Founded in 1999 with the belief that innovative approaches and rigorous research would bring new solutions in healthcare, Medicago is a pioneer in plant-derived therapeutics. We are proudly rooted in Quebec, with manufacturing capacity in both Canada and the US.

New Brunswick Becomes Third Province in Canada to Implement Biosimilar Switching Policy
TORONTO, April 21, 2021 /CNW/ - Biosimilars Canada, a national association representing Canada's biosimilar medicines industry, today congratulated the Government of New Brunswick for implementing a biosimilar "switching" or transitioning policy to expand the use of biosimilar medicines under the province's public drug plans.
New Brunswick's new biosimilar policy is expected to save the province more than $10 million annually when fully implemented, which will be reinvested to support coverage of new therapies. About 3,000 patients on the province's drug plans who are living with diseases such as arthritis, diabetes, inflammatory bowel disease and psoriasis will have until November 30 to switch from an originator biologic drug to a biosimilar biologic drug.
"Biosimilars Canada congratulates the Government of New Brunswick and Health Minister Dorothy Shephard for becoming the first province in Atlantic Canada – and the third province in the country – to implement a biosimilar switching policy to improve the sustainability of the province's public drug plans and support increased patient access to medicines," said Michel Robidoux, Chair of Biosimilars Canada.
Biologic medicines have revolutionized the treatment of many disabling and life-threatening diseases but it can cost $10,000 to $25,000 or more to treat a patient with a biologic drug for a year, which is placing an enormous financial strain on drug budgets.
The full benefits of biosimilars cannot be realized unless drug plans adopt policies that support their expanded use, as the B.C. and Alberta public drug plans did with the implementation of successful biosimilar transitioning or "switching" policies in 2019.1,2 Under these policies patients who use a biologic drug to treat a chronic condition are transitioned or "switched" from an original biologic drug to a biosimilar biologic drug under the supervision of their treating physician.
"The COVID-19 pandemic has burdened healthcare systems like never before and payers, employers, patients and healthcare providers are all looking for ways to create savings for sustainability, and biosimilars are an important solution," said Jim Keon, President of Biosimilars Canada. "Switching to biosimilar treatments is the responsible choice for drug programs, and it is time for other provinces to follow the lead of British Columbia, Alberta and New Brunswick in bringing the benefits of biosimilar switching programs to their patients, health care providers and taxpayers."
Switching from an originator biologic drug to a biosimilar is a safe and effective practice. Health Canada confirms that "patients and health care providers can have confidence that biosimilars are effective and safe for each of their authorized indications, and that no differences are expected in efficacy and safety following a change in routine use between a biosimilar and its reference biologic drug in an authorized indication."3
There is extensive real-world experience with biosimilars in Canada, with more than 600,000 retail prescriptions filled annually, according to IQVIA data. Biosimilars are also used extensively in the hospital and oncology markets. There have also been more than 178 clinical trials worldwide involving approximately 21,000 switched patients which confirm that switching from an originator biologic drug to a biosimilar biologic drug is not associated with any major efficacy, safety, or immunogenicity issues.4
Biosimilars Canada and its member companies look forward to working with the Government of New Brunswick to ensure the successful implementation of its biosimilars switching policy.
Full details of the New Brunswick biosimilars initiative are available at: www.gnb.ca/biosimilars.

About Biosimilar Medicines5 A biosimilar biologic drug, or biosimilar, is a drug demonstrated to be highly similar to a biologic drug that was already authorized for sale. Health Canada evaluates all the information provided to confirm that the biosimilar and the reference biologic drug are similar and that there are no clinically meaningful differences in safety and efficacy between them. Health Canada's rigorous standards for authorization mean that you can have the same confidence in the quality, safety and efficacy of a biosimilar as any other biologic drug.
Broken and Beautiful: Let God Turn Your Mess into a Masterpiece
Seattle, WA, April 21, 2021 — If you have a past of brokenness—abuse, dysfunction, addiction or other trauma—it doesn’t have to define your future. There is hope for a brighter path forward if we let God lead the way.
“We’re going to fail. The truth is, that’s exactly where God wants us to be so that He can grow us,” writes Christine Soule in her inspirational story, Broken and Beautiful. “The key is discovering who you are in Christ — your true identify. And that’s especially significant if you, like me, have a past of brokenness.”
Soule’s life was a jumbled pile of broken pieces. Her father was married seven times; her mother four times. Between her parents’ divorce when she was 5 years old and the day she allowed the power and presence of God into her heart, she watched her sister have an affair with her adoptive father; met 15 siblings she never knew at her biological father’s funeral; turned to drugs and alcohol; got pregnant at 17; had twins less than two years later; and became a victim of human trafficking. She had to break the cycle for the sake of her children. With nowhere else to turn, she dropped to her knees and prayed. And that’s when everything changed.
Broken and Beautiful is Soule’s remarkable story of how God took the pieces of her broken, astonishingly dysfunctional life and transformed it all into a breathtaking mosaic of joy and purpose.
“The places where you feel hopeless are exactly what He wants to redeem and fill with beauty, dignity and strength. He has a plan for your pain. A wonderful intention for your failures. A purpose for your hardest, darkest stories,” Soule writes.
Told with honesty and surprising touches of humor, Soule shares her journey from drug-addicted stripper to exuberant Jesus lover with a passion for helping others embrace God’s love. Broken and Beautiful is a raw, authentic story of hope, from a place of experience.
Author Christine Soule lives with the love of her life, Mitch Soule, in Seattle. They have five kids and three wonderful grandchildren. She is the founder and CEO of Providence Heights (www.providenceheights.org), a nonprofit created to house women and children in need and to provide counseling, education and jobs.
Adversity in early life linked to higher risk of mental health problems, RCSI research
Risk can be reduced by improving parent-child relationship and increasing child self-esteem and physical activity
DUBLIN, April 22, 2021 – New research has found that childhood adversity, such as parental conflict, death of a close family member or serious injury, before the age of nine was associated with mental health problems in late adolescence.
However, the research also shows that improving the relationship between parents and children could prevent subsequent mental health problems, even in children who have experienced severe adversities. The research also indicated that improving a child’s self-esteem and increasing their levels of physical activity can help to reduce the risk of developing mental health problems.
The study, led by researchers from RCSI University of Medicine and Health Sciences, is recently published in Psychological Medicine.
The research team analysed data from over 6,000 children in Ireland who took part in the Growing Up in Ireland study. The results showed that just over a quarter of children had experienced childhood adversity before the age of nine.
At age 17 and 18, almost one in five of the young people were experiencing significant mental health difficulties. 15.2% had developed internalising problems, such as anxiety or depression, and 7.5% had developed externalising problems, such as conduct problems or hyperactivity.
Those who experienced childhood adversity were significantly more likely to report mental health problems in late adolescence.
Parent-child conflict explained 35% of the relationship between childhood adversity and late adolescent externalising problems. The conflict also accounted for 42% of the relationship between childhood adversity and internalising problems.
The child’s self-esteem (also called self-concept) explained 27% of the relationship between child adversity and later internalising problems. The child’s level of physical activity explained 9% of the relationship between childhood adversity and later internalising problems.
“Children who experience multiple or severe life events are at an increased risk of mental health problems, but not all of those exposed to such events develop such problems. Our research points to some factors that can be useful for off-setting the risk of mental health problems in those who have been exposed to difficult life events,” said Dr Colm Healy, the study’s lead author and postdoctoral researcher at RCSI University of Medicine and Health Sciences.
The work was funded by the Health Research Board in Ireland and the European Research Council.
“Among children who have experienced adversity, we found that reducing conflict between the parent and child and fostering a warm relationship can protect them from a broad range of later mental health problems,” said Professor Mary Cannon, the study’s principal investigator and professor of Psychiatric Epidemiology and Youth Mental Health at RCSI.
“We also found that improving a child’s self-esteem and encouraging physical activity may also be useful intervention targets for preventing difficulties with mood and anxiety following earlier adversity. On the whole, this is a hopeful story that points towards effective interventions to improve outcomes for children who had experienced difficulties early in life.”
