HUNTINGTON, N.Y. - September 9, 2022 - (Newswire.com)
Cold Spring Plastic Surgery, a Long Island plastic surgery center that offers a full range of cosmetic and reconstructive procedures, recently announced that they will offer a discount on Qwo cellulite treatment for $500 less than the normal price.
Qwo is the first injectable cellulite treatment to have been approved by the FDA. Designed to address what's considered "moderate to severe" buttocks cellulite, Qwo is made of enzymes that break down and ultimately release fibrous septae (the cause of cellulite's appearance).
Cold Spring Plastic Surgery delivers Qwo in three injection treatments. Each injection at Cold Spring takes roughly ten minutes on average. During each of those treatments, Cold Spring plastic surgeons target the fibrous septae so that the patient's fat cells can be redistributed as new collagen is being produced. The goal of this treatment is to leave every patient with an appearance that is smoother and more toned.
"It's hard to feel as confident about yourself as you should be when you're dealing with cellulite. Yes, it's a naturally occurring phenomenon, but it can negatively affect your self-image and sense of comfort, all leading to you feeling less confident. Even if you eat right, exercise, and take care of yourself, that doesn't mean that you'll be able to get rid of cellulite. That's where our Qwo comes in. Here, our experienced, pro plastic surgeons can treat you right, providing you with care that gives you maximum results for minimum downtime. Indeed, you'll be back to regular activities the day after getting your Qwo treatment. With summer upon us, we know how folks want to look their best when they're at the beach, out and about, and so forth. That's why we're currently offering a discount on Qwo. We see it as one more way to help people to look and feel better," said Joseph Batac of Cold Spring Plastic Surgery.
In addition to Qwo, Cold Spring Plastic Surgery also offers cosmetic surgery services, hand surgery services, chemical peels, Botox, and reconstructive surgery among many, many other services. Those interested should request a consultation through their site or by calling (631) 470-9650 or (212) 472-2022.

There is so much more to school safety than locks - it's looking in the right places!
SFSC 2022 A virtual conference for all school staff that promotes school safety without security!
FORT WORTH, Texas - September 9, 2022 - (Newswire.com)
Dr. Linda Metcalf will again host hundreds of educators and education experts at the 4th Solution Focused School Conference on Oct. 28 & 29, who will share how they have been able to create safer schools without focusing on security. Schools implementing the solution-focused approach - a model that puts the responsibility on students to develop solutions instead of educators to solve problems - have seen significant reductions in discipline referrals and an increase in academic success.
With a shortage of teachers across the U.S. and higher teacher-to-student ratios in classrooms this year, educators are under extreme pressure to engage students so they can learn. Many students are disengaged or feeling isolated, which increases the risks of ill-discipline and disruptive behavior, or worse, more school shootings.
"Many educators aren't properly trained to handle disruptive or disengaged students, so they're either giving up, moving schools or quitting altogether," says Dr. Linda Metcalf, best-selling author of Counseling Toward Solutions, and host of The Solution Focused School Conference. "A child's future depends on a cohesive and inclusive school environment, and that should not be undermined by disruptive behavior, or the inability of educators to manage it."
The fourth installment of the annual conference is themed "Engaged Educators = Exceptional Classrooms", and is bringing together 20 speakers from 5 different countries. They will share solution-focused techniques and case studies of how this evidence-based approach is transformed their schools and other schools around the world.
Studies by the University of Texas found a growing number of schools implementing the solution-focused approach, and where they have increased student engagement, awarded more credits, and reduced drop-out rates.
Delegates will attend the conference online on Oct. 28 & 29, and will earn 18 Continuing Education Units.
"Schools that implement the solution-focused approach transform into a safer environment of exceptional classrooms led by engaged educators," says Dr. Metcalf.
"In those schools, discipline isn't an issue; students and teachers work through their challenges together; there is reduced conflict because previously disengaged students start engaging; students become responsible leaders; and there is great pride in the school's academic success."
Schools that implement the solution-focused approach are safer without focusing on security.
Using this approach will make schools safer, with less disruption and better academic results.
Dr. Linda Metcalf is a Professor at Texas Wesleyan University, a licensed professional counselor supervisor, a licensed marriage and family therapist supervisor, a former middle school teacher and a certified all-level school counselor. Dr. Metcalf is the best-selling author of Counseling Toward Solutions and 10 other books.
Shadow Warriors Project Shadow Warriors Project is a foundation dedicated to supporting private military security contractors conducting paramilitary security operations in some of the world's most dangerous areas. It is the only charity of its kind.
MONUMENT, Colo. - September 9, 2022 - (Newswire.com)
Shadow Warriors Project announced today that it received a one-of-a-kind custom engraved rifle from one of the country's leading firearm manufacturers, Henry Repeating Arms, which will allow the nonprofit group to further its mission of providing post-engagement support and rehabilitation to private military contractors returning from battle. The rifle is being displayed at the organization's First Annual Golf Tournament & Gala from September 11 through September 12 in Miami, Florida, where attendees can place their bids in an online auction alongside firearm collectors from around the country. All proceeds from the winning bid are being presented directly to the Shadow Warriors Project.
"Words cannot express how grateful we are for this gift from Henry Repeating Arms. The rifle is the most stunning I have ever seen and way above and beyond what I could ever imagine," said Mark "Oz" Geist, Shadow Warriors Project co-founder. "For this company that already does so much for active-duty and military veteran organizations to recognize the need for support in the often-overlooked segment of private military contractors is remarkable. To anyone considering placing a bid on this rifle, helping us spread the word, or supporting us in any other way, we cannot thank you enough."
The Shadow Warriors Project was created by Geist, a member of the Annex Security Team that fought the Battle of Benghazi, Libya, from Sept. 11 to Sept. 12, 2012, where he is credited with helping to save the lives of more than 25 Americans. The injuries he sustained in battle prevented his return to normal civilian work, and with no official post-engagement support programs for those in his line of work, he became passionate about making the outlook better for those that would find themselves in a similar situation. The Shadow Warriors Project helps by assisting with medical bills, PTSD treatment, family therapy, and educating the public about this unsung constituency. Geist is also a public speaker and the co-author of the bestselling book '13 Hours: The Inside Account of What Really Happened in Benghazi'.
"After learning about Mark's service and the story about what he and his brothers endured before, during, and after the 2012 Benghazi attack, I felt the need the need to pull out all of the stops and create a rifle that looks so good it can't be ignored," said Anthony Imperato, CEO and Founder of Henry Repeating Arms. "Mark and his foundation have my full, unwavering support, and I look forward to seeing how well this auction goes. We are all keeping our fingers crossed for an auction record."
The online auction, facilitated by Henry Repeating Arms and Gunbroker.com, is available at https://www.gunbroker.com/item/946003221 and concludes on Friday, September 16, at 9:00 a.m. Eastern. All firearm sales must ship to a federally licensed dealer. For more information about Shadow Warriors Project, visit shadowwarriorsproject.org.

About Shadow Warriors Project:
Shadow Warriors Project is a 501c3 tax-exempt organization dedicated to the support of private military security contractors, conducting paramilitary security operations in some of the world's most dangerous areas. It is the only charity of its kind. The Shadow Warriors project was created by Mark Geist, a private security contractor, who was injured while protecting the people inside the CIA security Annex from a terror attack on Sept. 12, 2012. His injuries prevented him from being able to return to work, which made it difficult to provide for his family. Because of the "red tape," financial struggles and little to no support for the men in this line of work, he was passionate about finding a way to help ease the load from already heavy shoulders.

MISSION VIEJO, Calif. - September 9, 2022 - (Newswire.com)
"Recent national surveys of young people have shown alarming increases in the prevalence of certain mental health challenges— in 2019, one in three high school students and half of female students reported persistent feelings of sadness or hopelessness, an overall increase of 40% from 2009. We know that mental health is shaped by many factors ..." reports U.S. Surgeon General Vivek H. Murthy in Protecting Youth Mental Health: The U.S. Surgeon General's Advisory. Further, Dr. Murthy calls all of us to remodel systems to improve the daily functioning of teens: "Our obligation to act is not just medical—it's moral. I believe that, coming out of the COVID-19 pandemic, we have an unprecedented opportunity as a country to rebuild in a way that refocuses our identity and common values, puts people first, and strengthens our connections to each other." Pacific Solstice, a clinic for adolescents and adults in Mission Viejo, California has reconfigured their services to help more teens. The trusted, well-known clinic in South Orange County has developed a unique program for those who are in junior high or high school. Solstice Academy bridges the emotional and social gap between suicide prevention, mental healthcare and academic needs. School and treatment in the same day, from 8A-5:30P.
Solstice Psych PA-C Brianna Riddlebarger states, "Depression and anxiety do not need to impair school progress. Although depression impacts one's ability to think, concentrate, and regulate emotions, life doesn't need to stop. Even when anxiety makes sitting still and finishing tasks difficult, academic progress is possible." Pacific Solstice is licensed by the California Department of Public Health as a Community Mental Health Center (CMHC), certified by the Department of Health Care Services and is accredited by The Joint Commission.
"In early 2021, emergency department visits in the United States for suspected suicide attempts were 51% higher for adolescent girls and 4% higher for adolescent boys compared to the same time period in early 2019," reports Protecting Youth Mental Health: The U.S. Surgeon General's Advisory. Families, even therapists, cannot compare what they are experiencing to anything. Solstice CEO Britten Devereux tells parents, "As in-person life moved to on-screen life, teens have less access to school counselors, pediatricians, friends and teachers. Emotional regulation comes down to skills. Think of skills as the roots that hold you strong regardless of the storm. Skills are the result of practice. Our structured environment acknowledges diagnoses, like Panic Disorder, or labels like 'oppositional', but puts energy and creativity into skill building. Responding to the psychological pain families are experiencing takes three things: empathy, science and time."
Solstice Academy includes nutritional care, psychiatry appointments, case management skill building, lab work, group work and family counseling to help regain stability and functionality, regardless of the diagnosis. The purpose behind the Academy is to define and build the social skills, routine, and life skills needed for a human connection, mood stabilization, optimal cognition and quite simply, a good life. Solstice Academy works with the school's curriculum to incorporate independent study, tutoring, and a strategic schedule to optimize efficiency and learning. USC Graduate, LCSW and Solstice Co-Founder, Narges Maududi reminds us what to look for, "We all know the trend. Once grades begin to decline, internal frustrations increase ... shame, disappointment, and a sense of feeling behind snowball into cognitive distortions like, 'I will never be good enough,' and 'I am always behind.' Tack on the emotional echo and isolation from excessive screen time and time management and tasks are harder than ever. It's important to act. Look at your options. Untreated, these variables change more than graduating on time, skill acumen, personality and personal responsibility; early intervention alters neural pathways for good."
It takes a team. From homework to individual coaching to integrative psychiatry to dialectical behavior therapy to meal planning, families need a resource when the hill seems steep. Solstice is in-network with Anthem, Cigna, Aetna, Tricare West, and Optum, which is good news as that covers most of the costs for families. Solstice Academy provides school and treatment Monday through Friday in the same day, from 8 a.m.-5:30 p.m."
A look inside the Academy clarifies the sizeable commitment:
Registration for 90-120 days is required, no less.
Teen and guardians must attend a weekly workshop on Saturdays 9-11 a.m. in person.
Parents are willing to engage personal growth skills, as led and defined by Solstice Academy.
Resilience concepts like positive reinforcement and integrative care methods like sleep and blood sugar are at the core.
Weekly Family Case Management sessions are required.
A spirit of teamwork and long-term goals prevail; so don't expect overnight results.
Parents must abandon the idea that their teen will go looking for this solution, demonstrate consistent motivation or endorse it. It's not for the faint of heart. Most teens will want one part or the other and on their terms. Solstice Academy promotes parents taking the lead and self-regulation skills everyone commits to.
Mental Healthcare and School Together ... Finally.

According to Halal finance experts, Hejaz Financial Services, Australians want to see themselves reflected in their financial investments. As the country's leading diversified provider of Islam finance products and services, Hejaz explains that it is no longer enough for financial advisers to focus only on fees and returns. Instead, Australians want their investments to reflect their moral and ethical values. The growth of Islamic finance has put financial inclusion in the spotlight, says the Hejaz team.
There remains a distinct lack of customer-centricity around financial advice. In the past, advisers have been heavily incentivised to sell products rather than advise their clients on how to improve their financial situation, says the Sharia loans provider.
Consumers have a right to sound, high-quality financial advice and advisers have a duty to act in the best interests of their clients. To do this, there needs to be a focus on representing the views and opinions of clients, both knowing and understanding their individual circumstances. Financial advisers should consider the values of their clients too when assessing which investments to include or exclude from their portfolio, says Hejaz.
Hejaz points out that there needs to be more of a focus on enabling the provision of high-quality, accessible and affordable financial advice. The Halal home loan provider says it welcomes any dialogue at a national level that will allow the industry to better service growing demographics, including the rapidly expanding Muslim community.
Modern consumers want to see a reflection of themselves in their investments, says the Halal loans expert. By taking into account the ethics, religious and personal beliefs of clients as well as their goals, financial advisers can build trust and longer term relationships with their clients.

According to Online Patios, provider of DIY carport kits, protecting a car from the elements can be a hassle for those who don't have a garage on their property. Wind, rain, sun, tree sap, bird droppings and debris can take a toll on vehicles, damaging and corroding paintwork and possibly cracking windshields or causing more expensive damage.
Keeping a vehicle undercover will typically keep it in better condition in the long run as opposed to parking in a driveway or on the street. In the event of hail or falling tree branches in large storms, parking under cover will help to protect the vehicle from expensive damages. As Online Patios explains, protecting a car from the elements will also help to retain its value. Parking under a carport will help to keep the paintwork and interiors from fading in the sun and in the warmer climates experienced in Queensland, it can also help to keep the internal temperature of the car lower or save time on frosty mornings in winter.
A partially covered structure with a roof and open sides, carports come in a variety of designs and can completely transform an outdoor space. They can either attach to a home, garage or other building or be freestanding. For those who already have a garage but need additional room, a carport is a great option, says Online Patios.
While the cost of building a carport will vary, one of the most budget-friendly solutions is a DIY carport kit, like those offered by Online Patios. For over 25 years, Online Patios has been one of the most respected suppliers of online patios and carports in South East Queensland.
Providing the highest quality carport kit Brisbane-wide, the Online Patios team can organise and deliver products to help homeowners create the ideal outdoor setting for their home. Easy to construct, orders come with a full DIY guide to building the carport, explains Online Patios.
The DIY carport kits can be conveniently ordered online and shipped directly to a customer's home.

U.S. Polo Assn., the official brand of the United States Polo Association (USPA), in conjunction with the USPA and its licensing partner in the United Kingdom, Brand Machine Group (BMG), offer our deepest condolences to the entire Royal Family on the tremendous loss of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.
Her Majesty The Queen lived a life of extraordinary public service and has been an iconic and illuminating figure not just in the United Kingdom but around the world. She will be remembered globally with great affection and respect for her sense of duty and commitment to her role for more than 70 years.
"U.S. Polo Assn. has been extremely fortunate to have worked with The Palace in supporting the Royal Family with their philanthropic efforts over the years," said J. Michael Prince, President and CEO of USPA Global Licensing. "Partnering with both The Duke of Cambridge, HRH Prince William and The Duke of Sussex, Prince Harry to carry on the Queen's philanthropic legacy through the spirit of polo has been, and will continue to be an honor and a privilege."
The sport of polo has been part of the Royal Family's history dating back many generations.
"The USPA is saddened to learn of the passing of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II and we extend our most sincere condolences to The Royal Family," notes Stewart Armstrong, Chairman of the United States Polo Association (USPA).

A fun, convenient activity in the backyard, trampolines provide many health benefits, like getting the kids outside and into the sunshine, helping parents fight the screen battle.
AUCKLAND, New Zealand - September 9, 2022 - (Newswire.com)
According to one of the biggest trampoline brands in NZ, SpaceJump, trampolines are the gift that keeps on giving. One of those rare toys that continues to be a family favourite across the country, trampolines can rival screens, providing a fun and healthy activity children can enjoy outside in the sunshine, in their own backyard.
As well as providing an engaging activity for children, SpaceJump says trampolines provide a host of other benefits for the whole family. The simplicity of bouncing on a trampoline can be enjoyed by almost anyone, with no strict restrictions or skills needed.
Trampolining requires a certain level of concentration, which can help both children and adults to reduce stress levels by focusing their mind on something different, explains SpaceJump. A great way to have fun outside in the sunshine, trampolining stimulates the body to naturally release endorphins, helping bouncers feel happier.
The convenience of having a trampoline in the backyard has always been a drawcard for customers, says SpaceJump. A great alternative to spending time inside in front of the TV or on another screen, getting the kids outside increases their exposure to Vitamin D, which is critical to help improve their immune system as well as aiding muscle and cardiovascular function.
When it comes to choosing the ideal trampoline, there are various sizes available on the market as well as different styles to choose from. SpaceJump recommends buyers first determine who will be using the trampoline (adults or children or both) as well as how many people will be using it. It's also important to find out information about the safety of the equipment and how to set it up.
As experts in the industry, SpaceJump has crafted their trampolines with the perfect balance of safety and fun. Their fleet of trampolines is made with robust components that will stand up to the NZ elements, all year around. Offering products ranging in size from 10ft to 15ft, SpaceJump has trampolines to suit everyone. For more information about the best trampoline NZ-wide, visit SpaceJump today.

Passionate about travel and making the whole experience as fuss-free as possible for their customers, the Inspiring Vacations team knows a thing or two about packing for a trip. From guided tours of Alaska to Scandinavia tours and everywhere in between, there are a few travel packing hacks that ensure travellers pack like a pro every time they head away on holidays. Here they share their top tips.
Inspiring Vacations suggests keeping the basics in carry-on luggage including earplugs, a light scarf and medicines to ensure travellers are comfortable on flights. A small toiletry bag containing eye drops, moisturiser and hand sanitiser is also a must for the seasoned travellers. Including a spare change of clothes is also a good idea, just in case luggage gets lost.
Using coloured packing cubes helps to keep clothes organised in the suitcase, says Inspiring Vacations, making it easy to pull out what is needed without searching all the contents of the bag. See-through bags will also come in handy for keeping dirty and wet clothes separated from the rest. For those looking for extra space in their suitcase, Inspiring Vacations recommends stashing items inside shoes, including more fragile items like perfume bottles to keep them protected.
As for what clothing to pack for a trip, Inspiring Vacations says the best thing to do is write a list. It's a good idea to check the weather forecast and then write down all the activities, meetings, events and parties planned to avoid overpacking.
When it comes to those handy things that can help avoid hassles on a trip, the travel experts say a portable phone charger is a must. They also suggest buying a luggage scale to avoid any unwanted overweight baggage charges.
A proudly Australian-owned company, Inspiring Vacations offers an extensive range of detailed travel packages, including tours to Alaska created in partnership with their worldwide network of local travel experts. With a simple online booking system, keen travellers can easily browse the offers and find the best tour to suit them such as tours to Scandinavia, Alaska tours and more.
