Fresh new music caps productive debut year for breakout artist, Ed Gumbrecht

WASHINGTON - December 19, 2022 - (Newswire.com)

When Cry A Little Longer, a new single, drops on all streaming services on Dec. 19, 2022, the up-tempo production of wry folk/rock/Americana will be the 12th track released this year by prolific emerging artist, Ed Gumbrecht.  

"Cry" is a new tune with an old soul in the tradition of classic singer-songwriting. It uniquely suits the moment with lyrics that poke at sad songs. Its punchy chorus evokes sing-along participation. Contrary to its title, it is more likely to induce smiles than waterworks. Gumbrecht makes sport of doomsaying. His bright melody carries quicksilver lyrics to an honest conclusion. There's catharsis in the observation that despite all the "trouble", it turns out we can "take the heat."   

Since the February release of his debut album, Colorshow, Gumbrecht's music has been attracting a growing following with listeners in the U.S. and internationally. His songs have been featured on popular playlists including Spotify's Blues & Whiskey, Vibes, Country Road Trip, Indie Rock Music, Road Trip Folk Americana, Coffee & Country, and Songs that Taste Like Nature. His song One and Only, sung by artist Claire Marie, was a 2022 Hot Slice feature on NYC's WFUV radio. Gumbrecht is a native New Yorker who writes in Washington D.C. and records in New England.  

Cry a Little Longer, the single, was produced at Dirt Floor Recording Studios in Haddam, CT, by industry veteran, Eric Michael Lichter. It will also be featured on the upcoming album, Enter the Muses. With nine original songs, Gumbrecht's new album will be out in January 2023.

Private Screening on Monday, Dec. 19 at 7 pm in Glendale

GLENDALE, Calif. - December 16, 2022 - (Newswire.com)

As 120,000 Armenians in the enclave of Artsakh remain cut off from the world this weekend, 270 children are not able to return to their homes because of the blockade of the only one corridor connecting Artsakh with Armenia. A new documentary film shares the continuing struggles and the stories of the children traumatized by the recent 44-day war over Nagorno Karabakh and the surrounding territories.

A private screening of "The Tales of the Blue Sky" will take place on Monday, Dec. 19, at the Veranda in Glendale. Documentarian Vruir Tadevosian, a Southern California broadcaster, is available for interviews about the current humanitarian crisis and has film clips available for broadcast. 

"Blue skies, which are synonymous with peace, have become a thing of yearning for young children living in the borderline villages of Artsakh," says Tadevosian. "My film tells the stories of the children who never had a choice and were forced to witness war, loss, injuries and chaos." 

Tadevosian lived through the first war in the region in the 1990s when Armenia and Artsakh voted to separate from the crumbling Soviet Union. 

"Having lived the first five years of my life in underground bomb shelters, I felt a calling to bring to light the horrific tragedies that children experience in silence," says Tadevosian.

Azerbaijani activists are now blocking the only road connecting Nagorno-Karabakh to the Republic of Armenia. Azerbaijan has also cut off gas to Artsakh as part of its aggressive campaign to retake centuries-old Armenian territories it claims as its own.

"The Tales of the Blue Sky" takes its viewer into the world of children ripped apart and traumatized by war. This moving documentary addresses the challenge they face and shares their stories of survival and triumph. Those who have seen the film say it evokes a range of emotions including tears and laughter. This documentary also tells about the horrifying tragedy that children go through in conflict zones around the world.

SAN ANTONIO - December 16, 2022 - (Newswire.com)

iQuanti: Anxiety is an evolved response to danger that can have us reacting in ways that feel out of place with everyday life. Anxiety can be a normal, everyday response to stressful situations. However, if your anxiety is getting in the way of you living a happy, fulfilled life, there are ways to manage the condition and mitigate its effects. Whether it's video chatting with a San Antonio psychiatrist or learning breathing techniques and coping strategies, anxiety can be a manageable condition.

Lifestyle Changes

There are some lifestyle changes that can lessen your anxiety. While these changes may not get rid of anxiety altogether, they may help improve things. You might start by getting enough rest, exercising regularly, eating healthily, and limiting your caffeine and alcohol intake. These are good habits in general, sure, but keep in mind that anxiety can worsen if you're not feeling your best. Similarly, keeping to a set daily schedule and eating and sleeping at consistent times every day can benefit anxiety levels.

Coping Strategies

Lifestyle changes are great, but it may take time to see the effects, and sometimes you need to deal with anxiety immediately. You can try coping strategies, like breathwork and mindfulness techniques, to help focus your attention and keep your thoughts from spiraling. By doing a simple breathing exercise several times—in for four seconds, hold for four seconds, out for four seconds, hold for four seconds—your body can get your brain to relax. Similarly, something as easy as counting to 10 or focusing on objects around you can help create distance between your thoughts and immediate feelings.

Therapy

Our minds, backgrounds, and brain chemistry are all unique, and there's no one solution for everybody. If anxiety is impacting your life, consider speaking to a therapist about what you're going through. In addition to helping you talk through fears and issues, a therapist can teach you more specialized techniques and exercises. Therapy can also help you recognize and manage your thought patterns. 

Medication 

Some anxiety—often the more acute types—requires medication, often in conjunction with therapy. While primary care physicians can prescribe medications, it is typically best to work with a psychiatrist as they specialize in medications that support mental wellness and are often more up-to-date on current recommendations.

Many therapists will refer you to a psychiatrist if they feel medication would be appropriate for your treatment plan. The psychiatrist will evaluate you for potential health concerns and work with you to find a medication. After an initial prescription, a psychiatrist will likely schedule further sessions to check in with patients and see how they are responding to medication. Once you are stable, you might meet with a psychiatrist less frequently. 

Compassion

Whatever tools you need to manage your anxiety, don't forget to reserve a healthy dose of compassion for yourself. It can take time to learn coping skills, change thought patterns, and adapt to medications. As you learn and adapt, treat yourself with kindness and understanding and don't forget to celebrate progress.

TORONTO - December 16, 2022 - (Newswire.com)

iQuanti: When you need access to money quickly, an installment loan might be your ideal option. 

Here is what you need to know about installment loans in Canada, as well as their benefits. 

What are installment loans?

An installment loan is a closed-end loan that is paid back over a set timeframe. You receive the entire sum immediately and then pay it back in regularly scheduled payments, also known as installment payments. Every payment is for the same amount over a set amount of time, which could be weeks, months, or even years. 

Once you've paid back the full amount, including any interest owed, the account is closed.

This is different from revolving credit, where the account is open-ended. This means you can borrow against it and pay it down repeatedly for as long as the account is in good standing. 

Among the benefits of installment loans:

1. Fast access to cash

Installment loans are great if you need fast access to a large amount of money. An installment loan can help you with sudden expenses such as a car or home repair, or it can be used to consolidate your debt, which can help you with your finances. 

1. Financial clarity

Because you pay the same amount each month, you'll be better able to budget for your loan payment. It won't increase over time, making it easier for you to manage your finances. 

1. Smaller payments

With an online installment loan, you can choose flexible repayment options. If you have more money accessible to you, you can opt for a shorter repayment term. If your finances are already stretched, you can choose a longer payment term with lower monthly payments. 

1. Save on interest fees

Depending on the lender, you may even be able to choose a more extended payment schedule but pay it off more quickly if you have extra money, which means you'll be paying less interest. 

Some lenders charge you fees for paying your installment loan early, so ensure you're aware of any early repayment fees or charges associated with your account. 

1. Peace of mind

If you're struggling financially, you may not be able to pay the upfront costs for an expensive repair. But when your furnace dies or your pipes leak, it could be urgent that you get the repair done as quickly as possible. An installment loan can ensure you get the necessary repairs without draining you financially.

Rather than paying $10,000 in one go, you can pay a few hundred dollars a month. 

1. Access to credit

You can apply for an online installment loan in Canada provided you are 19 years or older, have a valid chequing account, and can prove you have a steady source of income. You don't necessarily need the best credit to be eligible, so even people with lower credit scores can apply.

If you have poor credit, an installment loan can help you build your credit score, so long as you make your full payments on time. 

An additional benefit of online installment loans is that you can be approved quickly and easily, so you aren't left waiting or worrying. The application process is simple and usually takes a few minutes to complete. Once approved, your funds will be released to you in one to two business days.  

If you need fast access to money, it's worth considering whether an installment loan is right for you.
