ALICIAS COMPETITION PREP

No Alicia still doesn't have her pro card. After Arnolds I felt a tad defeated and it took me a while to get into the groove of prep for Toronto. Once I did I was in it to win it. I won my class and narrowly missed that elusive pro card in the Overall. It was heart breaking. Again it took me a while to get into the swing of things for prep for Vancouver. That was a show I should have never done. Financially, mentally, physically. Although we made some insane improvements to my legs I did not bring the conditioning that I know I am capable of. After returning from Vancouver some personal drama went on. I was under a lot of stress. My cortisol was ridiculously high. I know this because of my mental state, events that were happening and the fact I did not it like an @$$ hole but completely lost my conditioning. I decided not to do North Americans. A show immediately after Vancouver that I had my eyes on. I thought about doing the Amateur Olympia but again I want to bring my absolute best that I know I am capable. And this time I have something to prove. I also want to silence the "Alicia Bell haters." Having haters is fine by me. It means I am doing something right. But Im going after the Toronto October show with everything that I have to give! Lets do the damn thing people! Im in it to win it. I want to have people stop and be like WTF happened with Alicia she looks insane. And that is when I know I will be ready. If you want to keep more up to date with whats going on please go like and subscribe to my Youtube: www.youtube.com/trainitright The more people do things to hurt me the deeper my passion and drive gets to succeed! So thank you for all that you have done for me.

Thanks for your on going support guys!

Happy long weekend!

Young Woman's Powerful Story Encourages Others That They Can Turn A Bad Start In Life Into Something Positive

Raleigh, NC, August 31, 2018 ― Deja' was dealt a losing hand, and no one would have blamed her for simply accepting her fate. Her father died before she was born, and her mother chose drug addiction over her daughter. With loneliness consuming her, Deja' could have folded. Should have folded. But instead, she learned how to recycle her pain, and she began drawing from every source of positive influence that entered her life: a God-loving grandmother, a supportive godmother and a street-savvy godfather who taught her how to redirect her pain and survive in this world.

But the challenges just kept coming, and Deja' encountered countless betrayals and abuses along the way, which lead to an unhealthy marriage, and ultimately, a pattern of unhealthy relationships with men that lasted for several years. Aware that she is repeating a family cycle of poor choices, Deja' needs to rally what's left of her strength and determination to break that cycle. Will her fortitude be enough? Or will this final test break her spirit once and for all?

Overcoming the Hand You Were Dealt is the powerful new book from Kisha Taylor. Cultivated from her personal experience with abandonment, Overcoming weaves an authentic and captivating story of struggle, pain, hope and faith that culminates in a heartwarming climax of healing and restoration.

In addition to the book, Taylor's website, lifeunlimited1.com, enables her to continue her passion for women's emotional health, with courses that tap into the warrior in every woman, that cover abandonment issues and that help survivors understand why they act and feel the way they do. The website also houses inspirational items like T-shirts and mugs with messages of empowerment, and a blog with videos and messages of encouragement.

Author Kisha Taylor was born in Brooklyn, NY, and from a young age she learned how to navigate the real world of hard knocks. She attended Binghamton University and Baruch College, where she studied accounting and psychology. She became counsel to many, sharing principles on surviving abuse, overcoming life's challenges, healthy ways of handling personal mistakes and how to not surrender to self-defeat.

She is most proud of the lives her journey has impacted, as well as the happiness, confidence and emotional health she now has, which enables her to be a testament of, "You can, if you just don't give up.”

Flexitarian diet is on trend as nearly one-quarter of the global population follows a low meat diet, says GlobalData

Consumers are reducing the amount of meat in their daily consumption and are instead exploring niche areas of the human diet, including trying a different combination of culinary inputs, according to GlobalData, a leading data and analytics company.

According to GlobalData’s 2017 Q1 global consumer survey, nearly one-quarter (23%) of the global population stated they follow a low meat diet when asked to describe their daily diet. This suggests that the flexitarian diet is on trend, proving to be the most popular diet among consumers globally.

IMAGE FOR PUBLICATION: Percentage of global consumers who are on the following diets

Charles Sissens, Consumer Analyst at GlobalData, says: “Brands within the FMCG community must take it upon themselves to cater for lower levels and/or less frequent meat consumption, and promote the direct benefits associated with a flexitarian diet. More importantly, brands should accommodate these changes by re-formulating new product development to include more plant-based inputs, including fruit, vegetables and nuts.”

Californian fast-food chain Plant Power offers consumers traditional meaty meals, such as burger and fries, albeit made 100% from plants. The company highlights their strong health appeal: entirely cholesterol free, 100% GMO free and nothing artificial.

Sissens concludes: “If leading chains such as McDonald’s and Burger King can mirror similar tactics, it will increase the availability of plant-based consumption, thus aligning to the growing trend.”

PARIS, Aug. 31, 2018 /CNW Telbec/ - Servier, an independent international pharmaceutical company, announced today that it has finalized the previously announced acquisition of Shire's oncology branch after obtaining regulatory clearance. The 2.4 billion dollar transaction will enable Servier to establish a direct commercial presence in the United States and strengthen its oncology drug portfolio in the countries in which the Group is already present.

Servier acquires Shire's oncology business including two marketed products, ONCASPAR® 1 and ONIVYDE® 2, in addition to two collaborations currently being developed in the immuno-oncology field.

"This acquisition is a major step in achieving the Servier group's ambition", declared Olivier Laureau, President of Servier. "It marks the launch of Servier's commercial activities in the world's largest pharmaceutical market - the United States - and significantly strengthens its portfolio of oncology drugs. It is part of Servier's twofold strategy: to continue to treat an increasing number of patients with innovative medications across the world and become a world reference in oncology."

In the United States, Servier products will be marketed by the Group's new subsidiary, Servier Pharmaceuticals LLC (Boston), which is made up of 80 people, including those employees transitioning from Shire to Servier. Servier Pharmaceuticals will be led by David K. Lee who previously led Shire's Global Genetic Diseases and Oncology franchises. The subsidiary will continue to market ONCASPAR® in the United States. Servier Pharmaceuticals' twofold aim is to develop a strong sales presence in the United States, based on Servier's existing portfolio, and to enrich the portfolio with close-to-market or marketed innovative products, in accordance with the Group's strategy.

Outside the United States, approximately 75 employees from Shire are expected to integrate into Servier's organizational structure. They will continue to market ONCASPAR®and ONIVYDE® according to local legislation.

With this acquisition, Servier takes another step toward its strategic ambition to become a global biopharmaceutical company.

At Nearly 90, This Inspiring Man Shares Wisdom And Life Experiences We Can All Learn From

Pelham, NH, August 30, 2018 ― The story of Dr. Titus Plomaritis reads like a pitch for a Hollywood movie. The third of seven children born to Greek immigrants in Lowell, Mass., during the Great Depression, Plomaritis had to work on a chicken farm at age 12 to help support his family. From there, through pure gut determination and nose to the grindstone focus, he went on to make his mark on the football fields of his high school and college alma maters; serve his country as a US Army paratrooper; excel in the world of business; and become a highly respected doctor whose insight was sought out by President Jimmy Carter. From start to finish, this is a remarkable story of achieving the American dream. This is the story of Titus. And every word of it is true.

Titus is a nostalgia-filled autobiography packed cover to cover with remarkable memories and 250 photos — many from the White House — that support the motivational stories throughout the memoir. Plomaritis and Sam Weisberg, who was associated with the Lowell Sun for 60 years as a writer, librarian and Sunday sports editor, collaborated to write Titus. Winner of the Pete Delohery Award for Best Sports Book in the 2018 Shelf Unbound Indie Book Competition, Titus is an inspirational tale for young and old and everyone in between.

Author Titus Plomaritis was born in 1929 and became a living legend in Lowell, Mass., after leading the Lowell High School football team to its first undefeated season. Plomaritis would later play four seasons at Boston University. He served as a US Army paratrooper during the early post World War II occupation of Japan. He earned a doctor of chiropractic degree from the Chiropractic Institute of New York in 1957 and a master of science in nutrition from the University of Bridgeport in Bridgeport, Conn., in 1979. Plomaritis was a fulltime practicing chiropractor for over forty years.

He established the Plomaritis Family Foundation in 2012, which has funded over $70,000 in college scholarships for students graduating from Lowell and Pelham high schools. In addition, Plomaritis recently established a perpetual scholarship at Boston University. Plomaritis and his high school sweetheart, Claire, were married for sixty-five remarkable years and had four children.

Absolutely every dollar from the sale of Titus goes directly to the Plomaritis Family Foundation to scholarships for deserving students.

Rock Solid Research On How To Prevent Dementia And Maintain A Healthy Brain

Chattanooga, TN, August 30, 2018 ― Dr. Timothy R. Jennings speaks expertly on a subject that concerns over 5.5 million people across the nation: how to prevent dementia and keep our mind sharp as we age. A psychiatrist and international speaker, Jennings introduces his new book, recently rated #1 by Amazon in books on dementia, The Aging Brain: Proven Steps to Prevent Dementia and Sharpen Your Mind.

Dr. Jennings prescribes simple, everyday actions we can take to stave off disease, promote vitality, and prevent dementia and late-onset Alzheimer's. "The choices we make now can help us to keep our minds sharp and maintain our independence as we age,” says Jennings.

An easy-to-use guide to maintaining brain and body health throughout life, The Aging Brain is based on solid, up-to-date scientific research, and the interventions discussed can prevent progression toward dementia, even in those already showing signs of mild cognitive impairment. The recommendations also may help reduce disability and depression.

"This book isn't just for people hoping to slow the aging process,” says Jennings. "It's also for anyone who is a caregiver to someone at risk of or already beginning to suffer from dementia. It offers a hopeful, healthy way forward.”

Jennings, who maintains a private practice in Chattanooga, TN, has authored several books, including The God-Shaped Brain and The God-Shaped Heart. He is a Distinguished Fellow of the American Psychiatric Association and Fellow of the Southern Psychiatric Association, and is president and founder of Come and Reason Ministries.

September is Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month

Common Symptoms Could Lead to Serious Diagnosis:

What Women Need to Know About Latest in Ovarian Cancer Treatment

 

Back pain, bloating, and fatigue…what woman hasn’t experienced these symptoms at least once in her lifetime?

 

As women age, some may write off aches and pains as daily routine. Unfortunately, when these common symptoms persist, they could be a serious sign of ovarian cancer.[i] Women may also be surprised to know that even though the rate of ovarian cancer has been slowly falling over the past 20 years[ii]:

 

  • There are approximately 225,000 women in the US living with ovarian cancer, many of whom were diagnosed when their disease was already in advanced stages
  • About 14,070 women will die from ovarian cancer this year
  • About 22,240 will receive a new diagnosis of ovarian cancer
  • Only 20% of ovarian cancers are found at an early stage[iii]
  • Approximately 85% of women with advanced ovarian cancer will recur after treatment[iv], and once recurrence occurs, the disease is considered incurable

 

The good news is that new treatments, known as maintenance treatments, are now available for women whose disease has recurred and has either fully or partially responded to chemotherapy. These treatments can help extend the time between potential recurrences, also known as progression-free survival. While listening to your body and knowing the symptoms of ovarian cancer is crucial for early diagnosis, these new treatments help to empower women by providing new options to delay disease progression when previously, observation was the only option.

 

On Wednesday, September 12 in time for Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month leading gynecologic oncologist Dr. Robert Holloway will discuss more about new treatments for recurrent ovarian cancer. Joining will be Anne, who will share her personal experience with the disease, and how she was able to persevere and overcome challenges despite her diagnosis.
