Ub News Press Release

The skin of a baby or an infant is quite sensitive. This is why you will need to be careful about the wipes or cloth with which you clean the skin of the infant. Baby care wipes have become very popular here because these disposable cloths are soft enough to use on the tender skin. And they are also made with a material that will not lead to any skin irritation on the baby skin. DeltaPak Pty Ltd. is a leading manufacturer of wipes in Australia. And now the company has launched a new websites to reach out to their customers and market their great household cleaning wipes, medical wipes, industrial cleaning wipes, foodservice cleaning wipes, and of course, wipes for babies. The website of the company is DeltaPak.com.au.

The business operates in Australia from the company’s manufacturing and warehousing facilities at Bayswater in Victoria. The company’s business headquarters are located at North Sydney in New South Wales. Through constant investments that are made in research and development, quality assurance, and process improvements, the company has already emerged as a leader in baby care wipes and other products, such as gels and liquids, that work very well as glass cleaners and floor cleaners, sanitizing hand gels, and hospital grade disinfectants.

Though the company makes many other products, baby care wipes remain the most important. This is where the company has earned its reputation and goodwill among its customers. And DeltaPak Pty Ltd. can even customize the durability, thickness, and softness of the materials that are non-woven. Years of dedication has made the business a leader in Australia. And now with the launch of the website, it is expected that the business will grow even more as the company will be able to reach out to more customers.

This wipes manufacturer makes products that come in both scented and unscented varieties; are sensitive to the skin; can even be used as cleaning wipes to clean glass windows, CDs, DVDs, and other household items, and they can also be used as toilet wipes for kids. And since they are extremely soft on the skin, there are some people who even use these wipes for removing makeup.

The dry wipes are also being offered in different sizes and styles, such as travel packs, multipacks, flow packs that come with reseale labels, canisters, bulk refills, and refillable tubs. With the website now online, the company is all set to do better business in baby care wipes and other products.

Wouldn’t it be great if child misbehavior improves just with the use of rewards instead implementing rules and consequences? This can be a reality if implemented correctly. Earning rewards encourages compliance and cooperation as it focuses on the child’s strengths. Simply enforcing rules and consequences, although needed, can be a negative experience as the focus is mostly on the child’s weaknesses and faults.This webinar explores:

1. The importance of implementing a reward or token economy system to shape or improve the behavior of children,

2. How to extinguish a reward or token economy system to get the maximum benefit, and

3. How to develop effective reward or token economy systems that are guaranteed to improve child behavior.

At the conclusion of this webinar, participants will have developed an effective reward (token economy) system for their home, classroom, or any other setting.

This webinar is extremely beneficial to parents (especially of strong-willed children), caregivers, Educators, and anyone else who works with children.

The presenter is Mark Lakewood, CEO of Building Strong Families National Seminars, a distinguished parenting expert, author, and speaker with over 20 years of clinical experience as a mental health therapist. Mr. Lakewood has an extensive history providing therapy services to children, adolescents, and adults. Several years ago, he developed and facilitated an effective parenting program for parents of strong-willed children that gained local recognition. This program taught parents strategies and techniques to help them effectively manage their children’s behavior. Based on this program, Mr. Lakewood later created the Sudden Compliance Program and is currently offering it as a DVD/downloadable video and webinar series

For a limited time, the cost to attend this webinar is only $9.95.

This webinar is presently scheduled for Thursday, June 17th, 2010, 2010 from 6:00pm to 7:00pm (Mountain Time). Seating is limited. Earlier dates are available. If the scheduled days/times are inconvenient, participants can schedule this live webinar to be presented on a day/time most convenient to them.

Child misbehavior may not improve by just enforcing rules. Rules simply define behavioral expectations and boundaries. That is why we need to establish appropriate and effective consequences per rule. Establishing specific logical consequences that directly match specific rules is more effective than punishments in terms of improving child misbehavior. Sometimes, it is difficult to determine which child discipline or consequence would be the most effective. This webinar offers a variety of effective child discipline or consequences that could be implemented on children of all ages.

This webinar explores:

• The differences between logical consequences and punishments,
• The meaning of learned helplessness and its affect on children, and
• How to develop effective logical consequences.

At the conclusion of this webinar, participants will have developed an effective list of consequences for their home, classroom, or any other setting.

RESTON, Va. – Pierre Bennett, founder of Virginia-based LifeSource Foundation, has announced a recent partnership with local Washington, DC ministries to expand his organization’s reach in the DC metro area. The collaborative effort will enable LifeSource to leverage its efforts and further impact the local community. 

“We’re excited to be working alongside other organizations in the area,” says Pierre Bennett, who founded LifeSource in 1999.

“We are committed to reaching all Americans who are struggling with poverty and our growing relationships will give us a greater ability to reach this objective,” Pierre Bennett adds.

The LifeSource Foundation works across the country to tackle poverty by providing housing, offering food, shelter and assisting in job-skills training efforts. To date, Pierre Bennett and his organization have helped countless families across the country.

In addition to the DC efforts, Pierre Bennett has also announced a partnership with a youth ministry on the island of Trinidad. This is significant because it marks the beginning of a growing presence developing outside of the United States.

With a commitment to aggressive growth in the coming years, Pastor Pierre Bennett is currently seeking others across the country who would like to establish partnerships through financial support, volunteer opportunities or community organization efforts.

“We are looking for others with an entrepreneurial spirit that are seeking to touch hearts and change lives,” Pierre says.

Peyton Manning Children’s Hospital at St. Vincent Will Serve As Lead Sponsor of Hear Indiana’s 6th Annual Talk Walk Run 2009:

INDIANAPOLIS, March 16 /Ubnewspressrelease/ — Hear Indiana proudly announces that the Peyton Manning Children’s Hospital at St. Vincent will be the lead supporter for the 6th Annual Talk Walk Run 2009 fundraiser benefiting deaf and hard of hearing children in Indiana. 

“For more than 30 years, Hear Indiana has helped children with hearing loss achieve their fullest potential as independent members of society,” said R. Christopher Miyamoto, pediatric ENT and cochlear implant surgeon at Peyton Manning Children’s Hospital at St. Vincent. 

“This year’s Talk Walk Run is special, because we are commemorating the 10th anniversary of House Bill 1410, which mandates that all newborns are screened for hearing loss prior to leaving the hospital,” said Naomi Horton, Executive Director for Hear Indiana. 

“Infants can be fitted with hearing aids, and profoundly deaf children can receive a cochlear implant at twelve months of age. Early intervention allows deaf and hard of hearing children to listen, speak, and attend mainstream schools alongside their hearing peers.” 

Don’t just take our word for it … come and listen to deaf and hard of hearing children tell you about their experiences. 

To help us celebrate the 10th anniversary of House Bill 1410, Hear Indiana will present deaf and hard of hearing children born after the passage of this law to share their own stories at the conclusion of the Talk Walk Run. Hear Indiana will recognize deaf and hard of hearing children, their mothers and fathers, their teachers and therapists and the professionals and the community, who work together to improve the lives for children with hearing loss. 

About Talk Walk Run 2009

Date: Saturday, May 9, 2009 (8:00 a.m. – 1:00 p.m.).

Location: Fort Harrison State Park at 6002 N Post Rd., Indianapolis, IN 46216.

Following the run/walk, there will be a free Kids’ Fun Run, food, live music, and exhibit booths with information about hearing loss. For a complete media kit for the Talk Walk Run 2009 information please visit www.HearIndiana.org. Hear Indiana is a chapter of the AG Bell Association for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing.

New study finds the majority of acute lymphoblastic leukemia relapse cases arise from a cell already present at the time of diagnosis

MEMPHIS, Tenn., Nov. 27 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ — Scientists at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital have identified distinctive genetic changes in the cancer cells of children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) that cause relapse. The finding offers a pathway to designing treatments for ALL relapse in children and, ultimately, in adults.

The most common childhood cancer, ALL affects thousands of children annually in the United States. Although more than 80 percent of ALL cases are cured, relapse is a significant problem, with only 30 percent of children with relapsed ALL surviving.

Previous studies had found some evidence for genetic differences between the cancer cells of ALL patients at initial diagnosis and those who relapsed. That information was limited, and there had never been a broad comparison of the entire genomes of ALL at initial diagnosis and at subsequent relapse.

In the study that appears in the Nov. 28, 2008, issue of the journal Science, St. Jude researchers compared the genomes of the cancer cells of 61 childhood ALL patients when they were initially diagnosed and after they had relapsed. The investigators used millions of genetic markers — characteristic genetic variations called single nucleotide polymorphisms — as guideposts to pinpoint genetic changes characteristic of relapsed cells. Using these genetic markers, the researchers analyzed all of the cells’ chromosomes to look for genetic changes called copy number abnormalities specific to relapsed cells. These changes are considered a major type of damaging gene alterations in ALL.

“In more than 90 percent of the cases, we found differences in the genetic alterations present at the time of diagnosis and at the time of relapse,” said Charles Mullighan, M.D., Ph.D., assistant member in the St. Jude Department of Pathology and the paper’s first author. “Examining the new changes that are arising at relapse tells us a lot about the individual genetic lesions that might confer resistance to treatment and be responsible for relapse.”

According to the researchers, the relapse-related genetic changes commonly disrupted the machinery by which white blood cells called B cells mature and proliferate. Importantly, the relapse-related genetic changes only infrequently involved genes directly regulating the responsiveness to anti-cancer drugs.

The analysis also indicated that in most cases, the cancer cells responsible for relapse were related to those that originally gave rise to the cancer. Those relapse cells were present at low levels at diagnosis, the scientists’ analysis indicated. However, in a few cases, the relapse cells evolved from genetically distinct cells, indicating that the relapsed leukemia was actually an entirely new cancer.

“The key finding in our work is that in the majority of cases, relapse is arising from a cell already present at the time of diagnosis,” said James Downing, M.D., St. Jude Scientific Director, chair of the Department of Pathology and the paper’s senior author. “That cell is selected for during treatment and then subsequently emerges as basis for relapse.”

“The second key point is that we have found a large number of new genetic alterations that had not been previously identified as new targets of copy number changes at the time of relapse,” Mullighan added.

Mullighan emphasized that the findings do not mean immediate treatments for ALL relapse. “But, this is a very important starting point because we have identified several key pathways that are the most common targets of new genetic changes at the time of relapse,” he said.

Identification of these relapse pathways will lead to understanding of the biological machinery of relapse, and ultimately to drugs that target that machinery. Such studies of the relapse machinery are now underway at St. Jude.

In other further studies, the researchers are also looking for other relapse-related genetic alterations besides copy number abnormalities. They are also applying their findings to adult ALL, in which relapse is a more significant problem than in the childhood disease.

Other authors of this paper include Letha Phillips, Xiaoping Su, Jing Ma, Christopher Miller and Sheila Shurtleff.

The research was supported in part by the National Health and Medical Research Council of Australia and ALSAC.
