September is National Cholesterol Education Month, an annual observance aimed at raising awareness about the importance of managing cholesterol levels. The month is dedicated to educating the public about the heart disease risks associated with high cholesterol and the steps individuals can take to help maintain healthy levels.   It’s the perfect time to meet the animated characters called the “Lipid Lurkers”—a visual representation of an often-unnoticed risk lurking in patients’ artery walls. While they may look small and silly, they represent a very real and dangerous health threat. Fat and cholesterol are types of lipids transported through the blood. Certain types of lipids, particularly LDL-C or “bad” cholesterol, can lead to buildup of plaque in the arteries, increasing the risk of heart disease or stroke.   This campaign was created to help educate and empower the nearly 100 million U.S. adults with high LDL-C—especially those who can’t take statins (medications to lower cholesterol) or who have uncontrolled cholesterol and haven’t reached their target levels despite treatment.   Now, there are solutions that offer an alternative to statins— additional options for lowering LDL cholesterol—while also lowering the risk of heart attacks and heart procedures like stent placement or bypass surgery    On Wednesday, September 10, LeAnne Bloedon, MS, RD, Vice President, Clinical Development at Esperion Therapeutics, will be available to discuss the havoc that too much bad cholesterol can cause inside artery walls—and how to lower your cholesterol.   She’ll also outline:   What high LDL cholesterol really does to your body (and why it’s often silent) Why managing cholesterol matters before your first cardiovascular event How the “Lipid Lurkers” campaign is making heart health more accessible, relatable, and even fun Who’s at risk—and what new options are available beyond traditional statins https://www.fiercepharma.com/marketing/esperions-lipid-lurkers-campaign-sheds-light-high-ldl-cholesterol-hiding-artery-walls

Album & Accompanying Booklet to Release on July 6th, Honoring His Holiness’ 85th Birthday

“Compassion,” the first track released today, sets the tone of the album, by cultivating love and empathy for ourselves and all beings

“Music has the potential to reach many more people with the message that the real source of happiness is warm-heartedness and a concern for others” – The Dalai Lama

June 9th, 2020 – As announced today, Khandro Music will release a unique album of mantras and teachings by The Dalai Lama set to music, entitled Inner World. Released to honor his 85th birthday celebrations on July 6th, 2020, the album will be a great dedication to the decades of his vision and work for world peace and educating the heart.

When asked why he accepted the request to make the album, he answered, “The very purpose of my life
is to serve as much as I can.” He also added, “Music can help people in a way that I can’t.”

Inner World is an offering of the Dalai Lama reciting mantras and giving short teachings all woven to a bed of music (please see tracklisting below). The album will be released in conjunction with an Inner World companion booklet, revealing the benefits of the mantras written by Venerable Robina Courtin, and exclusive, stunning artwork; a collaboration between the acclaimed New Zealand duo of Ella Brewer (classically trained Thanka Painter) and Tiffany Singh (an award-winning visual artist). This particular work of theirs is a combination of traditional Tibetan and contemporary art.

In addition to this announcement today, Inner World has debuted the first offering from the project, the “Compassion” mantra, one of the most famous Buddhist prayers. Reciting
the mantra of the Buddha of Compassion (known in Tibetan as Chenrezig and in Sanskrit as Avalokiteshvara) is said to open our hearts and bring us closer to others, to feel love and compassion through wisdom, generating a desire to help.

“Compassion” is out now, listen: HERE
To view the “Compassion” mantra video click: HERE

The origins of Inner World began in 2015, when one of the project’s co-executive producers and a longtime student of The Dalai Lama, Junelle Kunin, wrote to him requesting his participation, by fervently explaining her feelings that an album by such a compassionate and wise being would help people particularly who struggle with emotional stress. After reading her letter, his response was enthusiastic, saying, “This will benefit many people!”. She and her husband Abraham Kunin, both from New Zealand, spent the next five years working with a small team to bring the project to life. The Dalai Lama’s recordings have been thread through music composed by Abraham and performed on thirty-plus instruments by himself and a cast of collaborators from around the world, including a special guest performance from Anoushka Shankar on “Ama La.” The composer integrated the live performances with artful programming and production, building a peaceful bedrock for these sacred offerings.

Net proceeds from the sales of Inner World will go to The Gaden Phodrang Foundation of the Dalai Lama (Switzerland) chosen program: Social, Emotional and Ethical Learning (SEE Learning), an international K-12 education program and part of an academic collaboration between Emory University and His Holiness; and Mind and Life Institute, which brings science & contemplative wisdom together to better understand the mind & create positive change in the world.

IMPORTANT NOTE FROM REVEREND PAUL SLADKUS.  WE ARE LOOKING VERY HARD INTO THIS HEAT, HOT WATER OPPORTUNITY TO CURE VIRUSES.  PLEASE HELP US, AS YOUR DOCTORS, WE WILL SHARE ANOTHER STORY SHORTLY WHERE THEY LEARNED IN CHINA MORE ABOUT HEAT/HOT WATER…  Here are some comments that I have received as of 3/21..

I have asked many to share their thoughts on this concept.

Leading Researcher at a major hospital. Says heat over 130 degrees would kill the virus, but could it not burn your nasal passage.

The doctor said it could burn the nasal mucus membrane, be careful.

Someone said a virus goes into your system within 15 seconds so this would not work.

Some said that a virus goes into your system in two days.

Today 3/21 someone wrote to us about how important heat, hot water, gargle with hot water, don’t cold liquids help, which they learned from a source in China. Kill the mucus.

In fact, there was a famous doctor who had a Mucusless Diet. Mucusless Diet Healing System Arnold Ehret

Taken from Amazon:

Dan Lee Dimke is the author of more than 100 books and audiocassette programs on education, business, accelerated learning and personal mastery. In 1984, he published one of the first effective treatments for the Common Cold, following medical literature research the previous year in which he personally read every medical journal article printed in the last 25 years on colds in humans, at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center Research Library in Dallas. His drug-free ColdArrest(tm) Procedure is now in use in over 40 countries. Dimke’s life illustrates some of the possibilities of unleashed human potential. He became one of the world’s youngest lecturing astronomers, at a 6-telescope observatory, at the age of 10, one of the world’s youngest hypnotists at the age of 11, and the church organist at the age of 12. At 14, he started his publishing career. He was able to work his way through a private college by teaching his own system of accelerated learning techniques to fellow students. He was invited to begin teaching in colleges in Washington State as a paid faculty member on four different campuses at the age of 17. At 20 he developed one of the first rapid reading systems for Oriental Languages during his work in the Far East. Dimke speaks and reads five human languages, four computer languages and slices through information at up to 25,000 words per minute. Dr. Dimke holds a Bachelor of Science degree from the University of the State of New York, a Master’s Degree in Business Administration, and a Ph.D. in Education from Southwest University with specializations in learning enhancement and psycho-linguistics.

HOWTO KEEP YOUR KIDS

LEARNING AT HOME FOR FREE

DURING CORONAVIRUS CRISIS

With schools closing to help stop the spread of coronavirus, millions of kids will be at home and you may even be their new substitute teacher. If you’re new to home schooling, you’re probably wondering how you can help your children learn and keep them occupied while you work from home too.

It’s especially important to make certain this health crisis doesn’t impact student achievement or leave any student behind. While some schools and teachers may have learning packets or online classes, there is now a new, free video series called Knowledge on the Go that features video lessons across math,English language arts and science subjects.

Knowledge on the Go classes will consist of free recorded daily lessons in Grades K–12 of Eureka Math; (a Common Core-aligned curriculum published by Great Minds Inc., equates mathematical concepts to stories, with the aim of developing conceptual understanding).

It also includes Grades K–8 of Wit& Wisdom, Great Minds’ English language arts curriculum; and Grades 3–5 of PhD Science. Great Minds’ own teachers will deliver the lessons,which will be available to anyone and viewable on any device, even a smartphone. Great Minds will release approximately 25 video lessons across the three curricula per day.

It’s also a good idea to develop a daily routine schedule for kids. Parents can also check into learning webinars for their children’sage group and encourage them to listen to audio books and podcasts.

Additional Learning from Home Tips:

Designate and/or set up a place for your child to work
Discuss with your child how they will handle schoolwork and limit distractions
Plan ways in which your child can exercise at home or get some type of physical activity.

On Friday, March 20th, Lynne Munson, Great Minds founder and CEO will be available to discuss how to keep building knowledge in your children during the coronavirus outbreak. She’ll also talk about best ways to keep kids engaged in learning at home and the free opportunities available for parents who may be taking on the role of “substitute” teacher.

As of April 1, 2018
National Meningitis Association

NMA works to protect families from the devastating effects of meningococcal disease by educating the public, medical professionals and others about the disease and vaccines available to prevent it. NMA was formed in 2002 by parents whose children died or live with permanent disabilities from meningococcal disease. Like many families, NMA’s founders were unaware that meningococcal disease vaccination could have prevented their anguish. Since NMA was founded, great strides have been made in meningitis prevention. NMA has supported the creation of broad recommendations for meningococcal vaccines to protect all preteens and teens, worked to advocate for state vaccination requirements, and helped increase awareness and vaccine uptake. The organization also provides emotional support for individuals and families who have experienced meningococcal disease.

To accomplish its goals, NMA develops programs and resources that reach audiences on national and grassroots levels. Parents, disease survivors and other family members help carry out NMA’s mission by conducting community awareness activities across the country through two key programs: Moms on Meningitis (M.O.M.s) and Together Educating About Meningitis (T.E.A.M.). For disease and prevention information, downloadable resources and personal stories from M.O.M.s and T.E.A.M. members, please visit nmaus.org.
