DO SEE THE WONDERFUL
PANDORA INSPIRES WOMEN TO CELEBRATE EVERY DAY TRIUMPHS WITH AUTUMN 2017 CAMPAIGN
Toronto, August 31st, 2017 - This Autumn, PANDORA reveals ‘DO See The Wonderful’, a multifaceted campaign set to inspire women to see the wonderful in their everyday. To bring this concept to life, PANDORA reveals the results of its partnership with three renowned photographers – Sandra Semburg, Liz Sunshine and Meredith Jenks. Triggered by a global research study that found 80% of women are inspired by photography which celebrate life’s everyday triumphs, these photographers were challenged to capture candid imagery of women from all over the world enjoying everyday moments. The campaign launches in conjunction with the Autumn 2017 collection – a selection of beautiful, hand-finished jewellery designed to mark the wonderful in women’s lives. The images are now showcased on PANDORA.net, @theofficialpandora social channels and in stores worldwide.
Every day we experience approximately 20,000 individual moments lasting a few seconds each, yet we often move from one moment to the next without acknowledging our accomplishments. Through this campaign, PANDORA kicks off a global conversation about women’s everyday triumphs; from the life changing, such as starting a new job or having a child, right through to daily personal achievements, such as baking a cake or completing a charity bike ride. The ‘DO See The Wonderful’ photography encourages women to see joy in these everyday special moments.
“At PANDORA, we want women to celebrate all the wonderful things they and other women DO each day because these moments represent important fragments of their multifaceted lives. PANDORA jewellery can act as a symbol of these everyday achievements and the things we cherish,” explains Minna Philipson, Senior Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer at PANDORA.
Individually known for their inspiring styles of photography, Sandra Semburg, Liz Sunshine and Meredith Jenks capture women showing the wonder in what they achieve every day in spontaneous and authentic shots. Fashion and portrait photo- grapher Sandra took animated portraits of women in London and Berlin, Australian-based documentary photographer Liz took to the streets of Sydney and Hong Kong to find candid moments of women in action, while Brooklyn-based Meredith, who aims to capture special moments as they unfold, shot photos in New York and Sao Paulo.
Today, PANDORA is calling on all women to get involved
in the #DOSeeTheWonderful challenge by capturing precious, every day wonderful moments and sharing them with PANDORA via the hashtag #DOSeeTheWonderful and tagging @theofficialpandora.
The Autumn 2017 collection launch is also supported by a compelling TV campaign, and through a series of official campaign imagery to inspire women to celebrate everyday life triumphs.

LEADING VETERANS ORGANIZATION HOSTS 10TH ANNUAL 9/11 HEROES RUN MEMORIAL 5K RACE SERIES ACROSS THE U.S.
|
|
The Travis Manion Foundation commemorates 10 years of veteran advocacy and commitment to service
|
| WASHINGTON, D.C. - The Travis Manion Foundation (TMF), one the nation’s leading veterans advocacy organizations, is hosting its flagship event - the 10th annual 9/11 Heroes Memorial run in more than 50 communities across the country and around the world this September, including locally in in Annapolis, MD, and Alexandria, VA. The annual race series unites communities across the country to remember the nearly 3,000 lives lost on 9/11, as well as to honor our veterans, military, and first responders who serve our country. Proceeds from the 9/11 Heroes Run will benefit the Travis Manion Foundation, which empowers veterans and families of fallen heroes to develop character in future generations.
The 9/11 Heroes Run 5K series was inspired by Marine 1st Lt. Travis Manion, who was killed by a sniper in Iraq in April 2007 as he selflessly protected his battalion. Before his final deployment, Travis visited Rescue One in NYC—famous for losing almost all of their men on 9/11—and returned home with deeper passion about why he was fighting in Iraq. At its heart, the 9/11 Heroes Run is a tribute to a personal commitment to never forget the heroes of that day. Now in its tenth year, the 9/11 Heroes Run national race series will be held in more than 50 locations across the country and around the world. As part of the marketing campaign for the race series, TMF has released a video to inspire runners and walkers of all ages to participate, which can be seen here.
Last year, more than 50,000 people participated in race locations around the world or as virtual runners, to support military, veterans, first responders and their families through TMF. National sponsors of the events include Comcast NBC Universal and CBS Radio. Last year’s Annapolis run drew a crowd of over 2,000 participants including Maryland Governor Larry Hogan and midshipmen from the U.S. Naval Academy.
Ryan Manion, TMF President and Travis Manion’s sister, provided this statement:
“As I reflect on the 10 year anniversary of the 9/11 Heroes Run, I’m in awe at the number of communities across the country and around the world that have united to honor all those touched by the events of September 11th, 2001. We challenge all Americans to join us this September, to ensure our next generation never forgets the sacrifices of our veterans, active duty military, first responders, and civilians who were affected by the attacks on 9/11 and in the wars since.”
5 Key Races
- 9/11 Run Alexandria, VA on Saturday September 9, 2017 at 9:00am ET
- 9/11 Run Philadelphia, PA on Sunday September 9, 2017 at 9:00am ET
- 9/11 Run Houston, TX on Sunday September 9, 2017 at 8:00am CT
- 9/11 Run Annapolis, MD on Sunday September 17, 2017 at 2:00pm ET
- 9/11 Run Doylestown, PA on Sunday September 24, 2017 at 2:00pm ET
See details for over 20 other races in cities across the U.S. linked here.
TMF empowers veterans and families of fallen heroes to develop character in future generations. In 2007, 1stLt Travis Manion (USMC) was killed in Iraq while saving his wounded teammates. Today, Travis' legacy lives on in the words he spoke before leaving for his final deployment, "If Not Me, Then Who..." Guided by this mantra, veterans and survivors continue their service, develop strong relationships with their communities, and thrive in their post-military lives. As a result, communities prosper and the character of our nation's heroes live on in the next generation.

Arthritis Research Canada (ARC) launching month-long campaign for Arthritis Awareness Month
Creating dialogue on the importance of prevention, treatment and diagnosis, and quality of life.
VANCOUVER, Aug. 30, 2017 /CNW/ - September is Arthritis Awareness Month in Canada. It is a month dedicated to the 5.2 million Canadians living with the disease, the researchers working to find a way to save lives, and to everyone who makes arthritis research possible.
"Arthritis Awareness Month provides a platform to educate and inform Canadians about Canada's most costly and chronic disease," states Dr. John Esdaile, Scientific Director at Arthritis Research Canada. "As a result, for the month of September, we are committed to bringing awareness and creating a conversation around arthritis and the impact of research, focusing on the themes of prevention, treatment and diagnosis, and quality of life."
Campaign highlights include:
- #30daysofARC: Arthritis Research Canada is spreading the word through social media. Starting September 1st, follow @Arthritis_ARC on Twitter for daily facts, videos, and patient stories. What's more, Arthritis Research Canada's Facebook page and website (www.arthritisresearch.ca) will offer weekly expert advice on a variety of topics. Follow #30daysofARC to join the conversation.
- Video resources: Arthritis Research Canada consistently produces a variety of clear, short videos that highlight key research findings. The newest video features Dr. Jacek Kopec, PhD, as he explains how we can slow down the increase of Osteoarthritis in Canada.
In addition to spreading the word through social media and publicizing important studies, Arthritis Research Canada continues to highlight the importance of arthritis research. With over 100 forms of arthritis, arthritis represents one in every 10 doctor visits and one in every 16 hospitalizations. And with one in six Canadians disabled by arthritis, it is the number one reason for workplace disability. Despite these statistics, arthritis receives only 3% of available research dollars in Canada.
"Arthritis Awareness Month is also a time to celebrate and thank all those donors who give so generously to make arthritis research possible," says Shauneen Kellner, Executive Director.
You can make a major impact by supporting arthritis research. During Arthritis Awareness Month, please consider one of the many ways you can donate to arthritis research—visit http://www.arthritisresearch.ca/support-us/ways-to-support for more information.

I cannot wait for our Veg Squad to fool their friends and families with recipes like mac and cheese, burgers, salads-that-don't-suck, and ice cream,” says Hutchings. “I am so excited to be part of the landscape that brings plant-based cooking to the mainstream and proves that a vegan diet can include the comfort foods we all grew up eating.”
The book features all new recipes (not seen on the blog or on their YouTube channel) along with a selection of hand-picked fan favourites.

Sick Cows/Sick People – The Grass-fed Antidote
https://www.cornucopia.org/2017/08/sick-cowssick-people-grass-fed-antidote/
Cornucopia, WI — Almost all of the beef available in supermarkets across the country comes from sick cows that pose a significant risk to human health. The Cornucopia Institute, a national food and farm policy research group, has just released a video educating consumers on where their burger meat comes from. The informative, short video, Sick Cows/Sick People-The Grassfed Antidote, shows just how unhealthy typical beef production is and what consumers can do to find excellent meat for their Labor Day barbeques.
 |
| Sick Cows |
 |
| The Grass-fed Antidote |
“Most beef cattle in the U.S. are morbidly obese and likely suffer from diabetes and fatty livers,” said Mark A. Kastel, Cornucopia’s senior farm policy analyst. “Very few would survive to old age if not sent to slaughter.”
Like people, a cow’s diet and environment strongly influences its health. The conventional U.S. beef production system depends on a network of farmers and ranchers who raise cattle on grain, with access to pasture, for the initial portion of their lives. But the final “finishing” months of a beef animal’s life is invariably spent wading through manure and mud on massive, crowded, grass-free feedlots, where thousands of other animals are fattened on GMO corn-based feed.
“These animals have evolved to eat grass and other fresh plants. High production grain-based rations, along with routinely administered drugs to promote growth and stave off the inevitable illness from their unnatural diet and living conditions, makes factory-produced animals sick,” added Cornucopia’s Kastel, who narrates the video. “Sadly, this conventional beef is what many will be grilling up on Labor Day weekend.”
But Americans don’t have to eat meat from sick animals. There is a more humane, healthy alternative: 100% grass-fed organic beef, available at your local co-op, specialty retailer, or farmers market.
While both USDA certified organic and grass-fed beef offer significant benefits compared to products produced by cows confined to a feedlot, these two labels are different. USDA certified organic cattle must be fed entirely certified organic feed, which means the pastures must be certified along with any grain and hay the cattle are fed. None of the feed, including the pastures on which the cattle graze, can be sprayed with dangerous pesticides or herbicides. In addition, organic beef cattle cannot receive antibiotics, growth-promoting hormones, or other drugs banned in organic farming.
Also, unlike conventional ruminants, organic cattle must comply with certain minimum grazing requirements. If beef carries a “100% grass-fed” label, it usually means that the cattle were fed exclusively grass, hay, and other forage. However, beef that carries a grass-fed label, but not the USDA organic seal, may receive antibiotics and hormones, and could be fed grass and forage that was sprayed with synthetic pesticides.
Consumers seek out both organic and grass-fed products because of their benefits to human health, animal welfare, and the environment. A high percentage of green forage in a beef animal’s diet imparts much higher levels of omega-3 fatty acids in the meat, and animals grazed on fresh green forage produce beef with more conjugated linoleic acids (CLA) as compared to grain-fed cows. These fatty acids have proven human health benefits. Eating grass-fed meat and dairy is among the most effective ways for humans to increase the amount of these beneficial fatty acids in their diets.
As ruminants, cattle evolved to eat mainly grass and other fresh vegetation. The microbiome in the rumen, a part of their digestive systems, excels at breaking down fiber to provide the animal with easily absorbed nutrients. Despite this, for economic reasons, most beef produced in the U.S. is grain-fed. Eating grain disrupts the normal digestive process, changing the pH in the rumen, resulting in physiological stress. This “acidosis” from grain-based diets facilitates the growth of harmful microorganisms, including dangerous strains of E. coli, and metabolic disease in animals. Feeding cattle a diet composed primarily of grass not only prevents acidosis and its associated health problems, but grazing promotes cattle’s overall physical and mental health and creates safer meat.
But consumers should be aware, greenwashing tactics are common with grass-fed labeling. A simple “grass-fed” label without any other qualifiers can just mean that the product was derived from livestock that received some portion of its diet from grass. That animal could have still received some grain, and may have been completely “finished” on grain, which negates many of the health benefits associated with prior grass feeding. However, a label with “100% grass-fed” language should close this loophole, due to basic laws regarding truthfulness in food labeling.
“One of the reasons we recommend organic certification for meat and dairy labeled ‘100% grass-fed’ is the benefit of independent, third-party oversight and federal law assuring the accuracy of the claims,” Kastel said.
“Looking for the organic seal also ensures that you know what you are getting. There is a high percentage of grass-fed meat being imported from countries that might not uphold the same high standards as the U.S. ‘100% grass-fed,’ certified organic, and locally produced is the gold standard when shopping,” Kastel added.
Consumers interested in the threefold benefits to human, environmental, and animal health and welfare, should look for beef that carries both the USDA organic seal and a 100% grass-fed label. 100% grass-fed organic beef from local farmers ensures the greatest nutrition and minimizes exposure to agrichemicals, antibiotics, and growth hormones. A cooking tip for Labor Day barbeques: 100% grass-fed beef naturally has less fat, so don't overcook on the grill to enjoy that perfect, juicy, beefy burger taste.
Max Domi Set to Light It Up for Canadians Living with Diabetes
Partnering with Ascensia Diabetes Care Canada, Max Domi sheds light on diabetes management with the new CONTOUR® NEXT ONE blood glucose meter and App System
TORONTO, Aug. 29, 2017 /CNW/ - Ascensia Diabetes Care Canada, in partnership with professional hockey player Max Domi, today announced the launch of the Light it Up campaign, designed to raise awareness of the new CONTOUR® NEXT ONE blood glucose meter and App system and help Canadians better manage their diabetes. For the third consecutive year, Domi is working with Ascensia to share his incredible story, so that it can inspire and educate Canadians about living with diabetes.
"I have been living with diabetes for almost my entire life and thanks to my family, healthcare professionals and the right tools, I have never let diabetes stand in the way of crushing my goals," says Domi. "I want all Canadians - adults and kids – living with diabetes to feel empowered to take control and not let diabetes be a barrier to their success. Partnering with Ascensia has given me the opportunity to share my story and connect with individuals from all walks of life to make a difference."
As part of the Light it Up campaign, Domi made a surprise visit on August 24 to one of Diabetes Canada's D-Camps called Camp Discovery, a center located in London, ON and run by Diabetes Canada that is specifically designed for children living with diabetes, for some interactive activities, fun diabetes education and autograph signing. Diagnosed with type 1 diabetes (T1D) at the age of 12, Domi is active on and off the ice and is a passionate leader in the diabetes community, motivating Canadians with diabetes to achieve their dreams and live remarkable lives.
"We couldn't be happier to be part of the Light it Up campaign with Max," says Rick Blickstead, President and CEO, Diabetes Canada. "Having Max visit Camp Discovery was an amazing event for the young people and an unforgettable experience. We hope that having Max share his story will inspire them to feel confident about managing their diabetes and reaching for the stars."
There are more than eleven million Canadians living with diabetes or prediabetes and every three minutes another Canadian is diagnosed.1 Chances are, diabetes affects you or someone close to you.
The launch of the CONTOUR® NEXT ONE meter and CONTOUR® Diabetes App, marks a new approach to diabetes management. The system features a wireless-enabled smart meter that links to a mobile device via Bluetooth®. The intuitive CONTOUR® Diabetes App collects, stores and analyzes patient blood sugar levels received from the meter. It also features smartLIGHT technology using coloured lights to quickly indicate if a reading is above, below or within target range to help individuals better manage their condition.
"When we designed the new CONTOUR® NEXT ONE meter and app with smartLIGHT technology, we were inspired by Max and the many other Canadians living with diabetes," says Russ Newsome, Region Head of North America, Ascensia Diabetes Care. "He is a true champion for the cause and we are thrilled to continue our partnership and show how these intuitive tools can help all Canadians with diabetes get more insightful blood glucose results, without comprising ease of use and accuracy."
The CONTOUR® NEXT ONE meter results go beyond the minimum industry accuracy standards2 and is the most accurate system developed by Ascensia Diabetes Care. The captured blood glucose results can be easily reviewed and shared effortlessly with healthcare professionals online; helping patients make more informed decisions and create better management plans.
To supplement the Light it Up campaign, Ascensia will also be working with regional spokespeople living with diabetes to share their story and educate Canadians across the country. To watch the Light it Up campaign video for the CONTOUR® NEXT ONE meter, please visit youtube.com/watch?v=oIdzVU-9ZoQ.

Not All Fish Oil Is Created Equal - Omax Ultra Pure - Product Review
As many of you know I take a lot of supplements being an athlete and competitive figure competitor. I was recently sent Omax Ultra Pure fish oils to try and review.
On the products website they state that: "Fish oil contains omega-3s, but how much you are getting in each supplement can vary dramatically. To determine the actual omega-3 content in your fish oil supplement, read the label and look for the total omega-3 content in each softgel. The top selling fish oil supplements contain only 30% of omega-3 content in each softgel.* Omax3 Ultra-Pure is exceptionally concentrated at 93.9%. That means you get therapeutic results that you can feel."
At first site the pills are pretty big. So if you aren't a fan of big pills be cautious. They are soft gels which do make them easier to swollow.
I have been taking them for a week and although I am not sure if they are better than my previous brand my training and cardio is going well. My joints feel great and overall I have no problem swelling the pills.
