Edjweb Mediaworks launches The Worry Bank; focused online community.

TORONTO, ON – May 25, 2001 – Edjweb Mediaworks is proud to launch its new recreational online community, The Worry Bank at http://www.worrybank.com, which offers people a place to dismiss their worries. This free web site contains many relaxing distractions such as words of encouragement, games, discussion forums, and most importantly it offers a non-medical way for worriers to take their minds off their problems for a while.

Noticing a gap in this category of entertaining web sites, Edjweb Mediaworks Director of Operations, Eileen Seigel felt that The Worry Bank had obvious potential. “Everybody has worries”, says Mrs. Seigel. “I have read so many articles by doctors and therapists that have discussed the negative impact worrying has on peoples’ health. Most of the things people that worry about don’t even end up happening.” Stress relief and a fun site to keep coming back to are the main goals of The Worry Bank, according to Mrs. Seigel. “The Worry Bank is not meant to replace therapists, medicine, or other professional means of help. It’s an entertaining site for amusement. People often say to me ‘I wish someone else could do my worrying for me’ and I thought, ‘why not’? The Worry Bank is a place where people can deposit their worries and withdraw encouragement.”

This is one of the sites being developed under the Edjweb Mediaworks umbrella that will create a focused online audience, allowing for a much more successful means of direct marketing. David Seigel, the Director of Business Development for Edjweb Mediaworks, believes that The Worry Bank can create a market that has not been produced online before. “It gives people a light-hearted place to share and shed their worries,” says Mr. Seigel. “When our community continues to grow and people keep coming back to the site for the same purpose, we’ll be able to suggest larger distractions than games or encouragement. Booking a vacation or buying a lava lamp might help soothe peoples’ frazzled nerves. The possibilities for direct marketing are endless.”

Edjweb Mediaworks is located in Toronto, Ontario Canada. The company strives to provide top quality online marketing and focused community development. For additional information on Edjweb Mediaworks, visit their Web site at http://www.edjweb.com or call (416) 618-4422.

Allison MacIntosh, the author of Clear Skin Now: New Acne Guidebook has used her years of experience with beauty writing for renowned international fashion magazines to create a complete tutorial to help acne sufferers achieve clear skin and prevent blemishes from happening.

“I have been suffering from acne since I was a teenager,” UK-based author Allison MacIntosh, 47, says. “I have been through a lot with my blemishes — at that time, magazines recommended us wiping our faces with acetone.

“Nowadays it?s not much different. People still torture their faces to remove zits,” MacIntosh notes.

Today, to battle the acne people have to use over-the-counter remedies such as Proactive Solutions, benzoyl peroxide gels, or suffice to hardcore medications such as antibiotics and Accutane with enormous side effects and often little result.

?I came up with this idea of clearing acne by coincidence, and it worked marvels on me,? admits Allison, ?To understand why it works so well I did a lot of research, and now I want to share my findings with every acne sufferer, young and mature.?

MacIntosh is quick to point out the long-term value of cleansing the skin from within. Using basic commonly available ingredients and innovative approach to acne skin care, beauty writer and acne sufferer created a complete step-by-step plan that not only helps clear acne, but also to diminish acne scars and even lose weight.

“Many doctors admit that acne is an autoimmune inflammatory disease, and still many cosmetic manufacturers insist on ?drying up? acne blemishes, scrubbing and peeling the skin from outside to cleanse the acne,” comments MacIntosh.

“When you weed, you make sure you pull all the roots. Acne is skin’s weeds. It doesn?t take a genius to understand that acne as any disease can only be cleared from within, from its roots.”

MacIntosh adds that her acne guidebook is based both on solid scientific research and on her own findings that she split-tested on clients and friends. And Allison even managed to clear acne and acne scars on her own skin. “That was the main inspiration,” she admits.

“I am not offering people another “get rid of acne in three day” phony baloney, neither I am selling another miracle pill,” says MacIntosh, “Instead, I will show you a revolutionary new way to clear skin and look like a model, in pace with skin?s natural renewal cycle, which is less than a month.”

“I wish I have read this book when I was twenty years younger,” she adds.

Toronto, Canada (PRWEB) April 18, 2006

The six month enrollment period for the new Medicare Part D prescription drug program is nearly over and still the majority of eligible seniors have not signed-up voluntarily. However, of those that have begun to experience the complex and convoluted program, many are questioning whether it delivers enough savings to offset the hassle and confusion. Consequently, American seniors are again turning to online Canadian pharmacies like ADV-Care (http://www.PharmacyOnTheNet.com or http://www.ADV-Care.com) to provide maximum savings on their medications.

“We are witnessing an interesting rebound effect among many seniors that have test-driven the Medicare program. The early promises have not materialized and patients are re-discovering that Canada still offers the better deal, says Ramy Attalla, Director of Communications at ADV-Care Pharmacy.

The majority of the problems being reported by seniors relate to certain drugs not being covered by Medicare plans, having to switch therapies to accommodate formularies and the complete absence of coverage as patients fall into the donut hole. Ironically however, the media seems to be willingly duped by Republican spin that the program is widely successful. Unfortunately, the health of millions of seniors has become a political pawn in the game of pre-midterm spin doctoring.

“The Medicare moment of truth is drawing near. The hype is already fading as more and more seniors experience the pain of the donut hole and incomplete coverage — a problem that will only get worse between now and the end of the year,” adds Attalla.

The professional staff at ADV-Care Pharmacy (http://www.PharmacyOnTheNet.com or http://www.ADV-Care.com) are trained to advise U.S. patients on how to best supplement the limitations of their Medicare plan. Often a combined solution of Canada + Medicare is the best choice if future catastrophic coverage is a concern. Although Canadian drugs are generally more affordable than most Medicare plans, enrollment does not preclude seniors from receiving the best from both worlds. A new trend reveals many beneficiaries still ordering from Canada when a drug is not covered and when they fall into the donut hole.

“The bottom line is that you should consider a Canadian pharmacy whenever you have to pay full price out-of-pocket. Why pay full-price locally when you can pay half-price and have your meds delivered right to your doorstep.”

ADV-Care Pharmacy ( http://www.adv-care.com or http://www.PharmacyOnTheNet.com) is licensed by the Ontario College of Pharmacists, and has been safely dispensing medications to Canadian & U.S. residents for 6 years. All Canadian medications are Health Canada approved and are dispensed by licensed pharmacists.

Within the first two weeks of its launch, 30,000 Canadian women have visited http://www.DefineYourself.ca to join the new online community for women dedicated to aging, self-exploration and discovery. Today, the community introduces the fourth webisode in the first series of narrative stories told by six Canadian women aged 40 to 56 years, leading viewers through their personal — and often candid — journey of self discovery and aging. Each with a different perspective reflective of their lifestyles, attitudes and ages, the women portray an accurate picture of the voice of Canada as they grapple with the myriad of implications of self-image and aging.

“Women are embracing the concept of DefineYourself.ca and joining the community to share their vulnerabilities and attitudes on what is a very relevant and real topic,” says Alan Chan, associate marketing director of Medicis Aesthetics Canada, the sponsor of the initiative. “We have tapped into the zeitgeist by encouraging dialogue of a historically taboo subject and seek to facilitate these very important discussions.”

Deliberation, conflict, research, options

This week’s webisode focuses on the outcome of the women’s research and self-examination, and brings the women together for the first time in a roundtable conversation to share their experiences in their journey, to-date. Ultimately, the roundtable will determine what each woman’s next step will be.

Join the conversation and weigh in on the debate

In the first online poll on the site, when asked how the community feels about the aging process, 42 per cent answered that they are “glad to have options.” Twenty-six per cent believe they “wear their wrinkles well” and 23 per cent are in favour of enhancements. The poll launching this week was developed based on feedback coming from the community and prior research conducted with women in this audience. This week’s poll asks women about the need to “keep up” and who, if anyone, they keep up their appearance for.

“We have witnessed an emotional outpouring of personal commentary from the community on aging, beauty influences, myths and motivations surrounding aging, and we look forward to the next chapter of discussion,” comments Catharine Fennell of SWINGThink, the online community’s creator. “Canadian women finally have a forum where they can openly weigh their decisions and choices about coping with the aging process.”

What’s happening this week at DefineYourself.ca

Tuesday May 15th: Launch of “Decisions, Decisions” – Webisode 4 in the series of six
Wednesday May 16th: Launch of new poll: Do we need to keep up and for whom?
Thursday May 17th: “A Few Good Women” contest launch. Women are invited to submit their story for the opportunity to be a future “Define Yourself” woman
Friday May 18th: Registration for a live online chat with the DefineYourself.ca women. Meet the group online and discuss their experiences throughout the series and the impact it has had to-date. Bios and videos of the women may be seen at http://www.defineyourself.ca/cast/php.

Next steps: meet the doctors and follow the consultation

Should the women choose to explore cosmetic enhancement options in the roundtable, they will be introduced to two top cosmetic physicians for personal consultations.

The fifth webisode will look at the consultation process in the doctor’s office, and possibly the treatment experiences of the women. By the sixth webisode airing in early June, the group will reconvene in another roundtable to share the impact of their experiences with the others. By signing up online to join, the community will be advised of each new webisode and community feature through the ongoing e-mail updates.

“It is exciting to witness a coming-to-terms with the topic of aging within the online medium,” adds Chan. “DefineYourself.ca has clearly become a valuable resource for women, and the community is growing robust. We see it building and continuing for years to come.”

La Fontaine Cosmetic Surgery Clinic carves a new web presence with lafontainesurgery.com and proves that beauty enhancement research can be a satisfying and motivating experience.

With a website as attractive as it is rich in content, La Fontaine Clinic offers those interested in cosmetic surgery an informative journey through the process. While both surgical and non-surgical procedures are covered, lafontainesurgery.com pays special attention to the most popular procedures: Toronto liposuction, Toronto tummy tucks and Toronto breast augmentation.

La Fontaine illuminates those curious about cosmetic surgery with galleries of before and after images as well as a written description of each operation. Before even contacting a doctor, clients can find out about how to prepare for the surgery, those who make the best candidates, possible complications, common postoperative discomforts, healing time and what they can expect during recovery.

“Any surgery can cause anxiety,” says Clinic Manager, Susan Szilasi. “In increasing our online communications and demystifying the cosmetic surgical experience, we hope to alleviate the fear and apprehension that prevents many people from investing in self-improvement. According to some people, cosmetic surgery is the final attempt, and believed to be the only way, to improve their lives.”
