The Arthritis National Research Foundation (ANRF) has earned a perfect score and its ninth consecutive four-star rating from the leading online charity evaluator, Charity Navigator. This accomplishment places the foundation in the Top 1% of charities in America and displays the foundation's commitment to finding a cure for the estimated 54 million Americans affected by arthritis.

Long Beach, CA (PRWEB) June 23, 2017

By scoring 100% for fiscal management and accountability, the Arthritis National Research Foundation (ANRF) has earned its ninth consecutive four-star rating from premier online charity evaluator, Charity Navigator, validating ANRF's work as a top charity in America.

This achievement places ANRF in the top 1% of all charities reviewed by Charity Navigator and earns ANRF a spot on their “10 Charities Worth Watching” list as well as their "Charities With Perfect Scores" page.

Charity Navigator praised ANRF for its excellent fiscal management and its unwavering commitment to transparency and accountability, scoring a perfect 100% in all of the areas reviewed. A letter from Michael Thatcher, President and CEO of Charity Navigator, stated:

"Only 1% of the charities we evaluate have received at least 9 consecutive 4-star evaluations, indicating that Arthritis National Research Foundation outperforms most other charities in America. This exceptional designation from Charity Navigator sets Arthritis National Research Foundation apart from its peers and demonstrates to the public its trustworthiness."

Based in Long Beach, CA, ANRF is the only U.S. charity focused solely on supporting emerging, early career investigators’ research to cure arthritis. Over 90% of all donations received are used for arthritis research programs. For over 45 years, the foundation has funded young doctors studying arthritis and the human immune system. The discoveries made by the over 225 investigators ANRF has supported have often been ground-breaking and led to many new treatments for those suffering with arthritis.

Receiving four out of four stars for nine years in a row is an independent validation of ANRF's exemplary administration and commitment to their mission to cure arthritis through research. The rating ranks ANRF in the top one percent of U.S. charities rated by Charity Navigator; in other words, ANRF performs more efficiently than 99% of all other charities reviewed by Charity Navigator. Charitable donors can give confidently knowing their gifts will be used wisely to fund the best young arthritis researchers.

All donations to the Arthritis National Research Foundation come from generous private individuals and corporations; ANRF does not receive any federal or governmental grants. Many donors choose to assist ANRF because every gift, large or small, makes an impact in the field of arthritis and autoimmune research.

"Research is the key to finding a cure and together we can cure arthritis!"

The Arthritis National Research Foundation funds research projects on rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, lupus, gout, and many other forms of arthritis. Each year, ANRF awards a grant focused on juvenile arthritis research. Most people do not know that over 300,000 children in America have an aggressive form of autoimmune arthritis.

The Board of Directors and Scientific Advisory Board is comprised of scientists and financial professionals who work together to ensure the best and brightest young MD and/or PhD scientists are funded. The organization has grown from only supporting a few scientists a year, to funding 12-16 projects totaling over $1.3 million last year.

Known through its website, CureArthritis.org, and social media handles @CureArthritis and #CureArthritis, the Arthritis National Research Foundation will continue its focus only on funding cutting-edge research. Research with the potential for better treatments and cures is the hope of the over 54 million Americans who suffer the pain of arthritis every day.

Texas Premier Locksmith says: Fluctuating Temperatures Can Result in Lockouts if Not Prepared!

Waco, TX (PRWEB) June 24, 2017

The weather is heating up and the days are getting longer, providing the perfect opportunity to spend time outdoors. Home and business owners should be aware that the summer months provide more than warmer temperatures that are perfect for BBQ’s and trips to the lake. In fact, mechanical locks and keys can be negatively affected from direct exposure to the sun. When it comes to the security of homes and commercial properties, it is important to contact a professional locksmith service to avoid the risk of lockout problems and break-ins. The knowledgeable locksmiths at TX Premier Locksmith recommend professional lock installation and service. Owner, Yair Frenkle said “The effects of the heat in Texas during the summer can have disastrous effects on locking mechanisms if they are not properly installed and serviced by a professional locksmith.”

Are You Experiencing Swelling Doors this Summer?

It is not uncommon for property owners to experience issues with jammed locks on exterior doors and windows during the heat of summer. As the temperatures rise the frames begin to expand which can result in locks becoming stuck in one position leaving the property owner struggling to secure the lock. The same theory applies as the frames contract during the cooler evening temperatures. This is particularly common with deadbolt locks which can become compressed within the door as the door frame begins to swell resulting in the bolt making contact with the doorframe instead of inserting into the housing of the locking device. Keep in mind that these types of issues can also occur with metal door hinges and weather stripping that is attached to the door.

Preventive Locksmith Measures

The first preventive measure is to contact a professional locksmith for lock installation to ensure that locks are properly fitted to the door frame. This dramatically reduces chances of lock problems from changing weather. A locksmith can also be hired to routinely lubricate locks to make them easier to turn. To do this, the lock mechanism is taken apart, lubricated and reassembled accordingly. In addition, commercial businesses in Waco, TX that have wooden exterior doors and door frames can have them replaced with fiberglass or steel materials that aren’t as prone to expansion and contraction. Finally, a locksmith audit can determine security weak points that need to be addressed. “TX Premier Locksmith offers expert consultations on the best methods to avoid lockouts, break-ins and other security problems” Frenkle said; “locksmith audits are valuable for anyone who treasures their security and prioritizes the protection of their homes and businesses”.

About TX Premier Locksmith

As a locally owned company, TX Premier Locksmith is proud to offer home and business owners in Waco, Texas a solution to all their locksmith needs. For immediate assistance, call (254) 633-3077, stop by the storefront at 2920 Dutton Ave, Waco, TX 76711 or visit the website at http://www.txpremierlocksmith.com/service-area/waco-tx/.

Huntsville, Alabma (PRWEB) June 24, 2017

The new ‘Freedom Fiber’ high-speed fiber Internet coming to rural Northwest Alabama is more than just an investment in faster Internet service, said the project’s leaders. It’s a transformative investment in improving lives for the residents who call this region home.

“FiberRise is helping us improve life in our rural communities,” said Steve Foshee, General Manager of Tombigbee Electric Cooperative, which announced today its selection of FiberRise to build a fiber infrastructure that will bring Internet speeds 10 to 1,000 times faster than speeds currently available to customers in the Tombigbee service area. “This is not just about Internet. This is going to transform education, our medical community, the lives of our young people, and so much more.”

Freedom Fiber will be the fastest network in the State of Alabama, with speeds up to 10 gigs and a minimum speed of 100 megabits-per-second (mbps).

Foshee compared the excitement around the project to that like communities experienced in the 1930s when electricity expanded to rural areas.

“We care deeply about our residents and the communities we serve, and we understand the critical need for access to high speed Internet in order to thrive in the years ahead,” Foshee said. “This is why we are making a transformational investment to provide affordable access to the highest-speed fiber network available, and FiberRise has been a big part of helping us develop a plan to make this work, both economically and physically.”

Freedom Fiber will initially serve the cities of Hamilton and Winfield, with plans to expand the fiber optic network to more than 1,600 miles across Northwest Alabama covering areas across Marion, Lamar, Fayette and Winston counties beginning in 2018. Within five years, every rural home in the Tombigbee service area will have access to advanced fiber-optic Internet.

The role of FiberRise will be to build an optimized fiber infrastructure that will provide the capability for new advanced services and ultra fast broadband service, as well as custom fiber services tailored for small and large industries. These advanced solutions will be offered at very competitive prices generally available only in large urban cities.

”We are delighted to have the opportunity to serve Tombigbee as their partner on the Freedom Fiber project to bring the fastest Internet speeds available to parts of rural Alabama,” said Chad Dieselberg, CTO of FiberRise. “Every member of the cooperative will have access to the same Gigabit service available in the most modern cities across our nation. Children will have better access to the best applications for learning and gaming, and the fiber infrastructure supports many new applications such as telemedicine, smart cities, and more that would not be options without the fiber.”

Texas Premier Locksmith warns homeowners regarding latest FBI statistics, on burglaries in the United States in 2015.

Killeen, TX (PRWEB) June 24, 2017

Doorknobs are for convenience, deadbolts are for security.

There are many ways homeowners can boost home security, such as getting a guard dog or having an alarm system installed. But unless there is a working deadbolt lock that is used properly; homes simply aren’t secure against forced entry. Yair Frenkel, owner of TX Premier Locksmith in Killeen, TX says: “In the majority of home burglaries, intruders use force to gain entry. If deadbolts are not being utilized, the intruders are able to kick the door in.”

What is a Deadbolt?

A deadbolt is a locking mechanism that is engaged by turning a knob or key, without a spring action. It has a steel bolt that extends into the door jamb and the strike plate of the door frame, making it more secure than a keyed entry doorknob. There are two types of deadbolts; single or double cylinder. The single-cylinder deadbolt is operated by a twist knob on the inside of the door and a key on the outside while the double-cylinder deadbolt is operated via a key on both inside and outside of the door. Single-cylinder deadbolts are most popular as they allow residents to escape the house much more easily in an emergency situation such as a fire.

How do Deadbolts Help Stop Forced Entry Burglaries?

According to the latest FBI statistics, there were an estimated 1.6 million burglaries in the United States in 2015. Out of all burglaries, 58 percent were the result of forced entry. Frenkel says “Every home should have a high quality deadbolt with a hardened steel bolt”. For the deadbolt to function properly and keep residences secure against burglaries, the steel bolt must extend fully into a hole on the door jamb that is reinforced with a metal strike plate. If the bolt doesn’t extend all the way into the hole or if a strike plate isn't used, the lock and door frame can be compromised. “When someone kicks in a door, it’s not typically the door that breaks, it’s the door frame,” Frenkel says; “Three inch screws should be used to reinforce the strike plate into the studs of the frame of the house.”

Home Security Only Works if Used Correctly

Even if a deadbolt lock is installed on the door properly by a professional locksmith, it won't make a home more secure if it is not used regularly. Many homeowners tend to lock the keyed entry doorknob but often neglect to lock the deadbolt. Frenkel says “It is a good idea to teach all age appropriate household members to use the deadbolt every time they lock or unlock the door”.

As a locally owned company, TX Premier Locksmith is proud to offer homeowners in Killeen, Texas fast and professional locksmith services including installation of deadbolts and other locking mechanisms.

OMG Fertilizer Company is so confident with our new product, OMG Fertilizer, we are offering free samples. "Seeing is believing" for larger, healthier, and faster growing fruit and vegetable plants.

Signal Hill, California (PRWEB) June 25, 2017

OMG Fertilizer Company is very excited to announce the grand opening of its latest product, OMG FERTILIZER ®. This revolutionary and proprietary compound has been years in research, design and testing. Why is this such a significant discovery for commercial growers worldwide? Simply said, “people gotta eat.”

• Faster growing, healthier plants results in shortened grow time potentially with multiple yields per year.
• Rapid nutrient infusion for fast acting results.
• Increased uptake will result in more sugars to fruit, which enhances the taste. This is known as the brix affect. Grape growers can appreciate this fact.
• No soil burnout, and OMG FERTILIZER ® can be safely used with other fertilizers.
• Limited release of nitrogen without causing surrounding water pollution.
• OMG FERTILIZER ® can be used on almost every type of fruit tree, plant, or vegetable.
• Produces great results with plants in any growth cycle.

Organic OMG Fertilizer

HDL’s proprietary OMG Fertilizer ® comes in a super concentrated liquid form for ease and fast acting application. It does NOT contain any GMOs. Its plant nutrient is unlike any other. View the pictures and testimonials to see for yourself the amazing results. What can be expected with only one or two applications:

1. For many potted young plants and vegetables expect darker/greener leaves within one or two weeks. Greener leaves produce more chloroplasts which increase the entire plant’s uptake of CO2. This increases nutrimental value of fruits and vegetables.

2. Within two to three weeks, larger and even darker/greener leaves can be expected. New sprouts can be seen at the ends of the smaller stems. Darker/greener stems can be expected as well.

3. Unlike other fertilizers, OMG Fertilizer ® can be combined with any good organic, inorganic, or a combination of other fertilizers for outstanding results.

Some growers may ask if larger, healthier, and faster growing plants can produce more yields. Testing this product will show the answer. Seeing is believing. OMG Fertilizer Company is so confident in this product, free samples are being offered to qualified growers while supplies last for a limited time. Offer valid in the US only.

Leading vitiligo researcher to join biotech innovators in improving treatment outcomes for condition characterized by the appearance of white patches on skin.

Austin, Texas (PRWEB) June 25, 2017

TeVido BioDevices (TeVido), a pioneer in cellular therapy to treat loss of pigmentation, today announced the appointment to the advisory board of Dr. John Harris, Director of the Vitiligo Clinic and Research Center at the University of Massachusetts Medical School. Dr. Harris will leverage his extensive experience in the research, diagnosis and treatment of vitiligo to help address significant unmet needs in reconstructive and cosmetic procedures utilizing autologous cell therapy (using a patient’s own tissue) for patients with vitiligo as well as nipple areola reconstruction for breast cancer survivors.

“TeVido’s mission has always been about helping patients to feel “whole” again,” said Laura Bosworth, TeVido CEO. “As we developed our cell therapy techniques to re-pigment the nipple areola lost due to breast cancer, we realized the procedure could benefit patients with vitiligo. Bringing Dr. Harris on our advisory board will accelerate our development plan to make a meaningful difference in the lives of those suffering from vitiligo, while we expand treatment options to include areola re-pigmentation and scarring.”

Vitiligo is a skin condition characterized by the appearance of white patches on any part of the body, such as the face, hands and arms. There is no cure, and it can be psychologically devastating.

“I am excited to contribute to the meaningful work TeVido is doing in the area of vitiligo treatment,” said Dr. Harris. “Vitiligo can cause severe emotional distress and social stigma. The ground-breaking techniques TeVido will bring to market will have a profound impact on the quality of patients’ lives.”

Dr. John Harris, Advisor, is a key opinion leader in vitiligo and has multiple research publications and textbook chapters on vitiligo. He serves on the Dermatology Foundation, Skin of Color Society, Global Vitiligo Foundation, Vitiligo Research Foundation, and the American Academy of Dermatology. He is an advisor and collaborator with AbbVie, Combe Inc, Genzyme/Sanofi, Stiefel/GSK, Aclaris Therapeutics, Celgene, and Pfizer. He is an ad hoc reviewer on grant applications and for multiple research journals. He lectures on vitiligo and other topics to local, regional, national, and international audiences.

Dr. Harris will be speaking on a panel with other vitiligo experts at World Vitiligo Day. The annual international event that brings global awareness to this life-altering skin condition, will be held in Detroit, Michigan on June 25th.

Innovative terminal coupled with GiftLogic integration bridges the gap between traditional and emerging payment types

Englewood, FL (PRWEB) June 25, 2017

GiftLogic recently completed certification with Cayan's Genius Platform, now integrating its Point of Sale system with this innovative solution. According to a representative from GiftLogic, "This opens up EMV and contact-less payment types to our customers, bolstering the legacy integration to add the very latest EMV technologies."

Cayan Genius marries the traditional debit and credit card processing terminal with mobile, EMV, gift and loyalty, and swipe / PIN debit payments. "One terminal enables merchants to accept plain old plastic alongside NFC and QR codes," the representative explained. "And GiftLogic 2017 streamlines the entire experience for cashiers and customers alike."

In addition to the ability to accept EMV chip cards and other payment types, merchants using GiftLogic and Cayan Genius can use any number of different merchant payment processors with this platform. "Whether a retailer has an established relationship with a merchant processor or wants to switch to a new one, the Cayan Genius terminal is compatible.

The experience of using Cayan Genius with GiftLogic is comparable to using any other credit card terminal from within the point-of-sale system with the notable difference of being able to accept both traditional and emerging payment types. For the customer, Cayan's color LED display integrates with product details stored in GiftLogic. For example, as items are rung up, their pictures, item name, and price are displayed on the Cayan Genius PIN pad.

"This display helps customers confirm that their order is correct, long before the receipt is printed," the representative said. "Any errors can be rectified at the point of sale. This is visually appealing, and customers can even scroll through the screen, reviewing their order in real-time before completing the transaction."

About GiftLogic

Credit card debt has become a big problem for a lot of consumers especially for single parents that is why National Debt Relief shares some tips to manage it with a recently published article. The material released May 15, 2017 and titled “8 Tips For Single Parents Struggling With Credit Card Debt” aims to give single parents valuable insight on how to handle credit card debt in their budget.

Des Moines, IA (PRWEB) June 25, 2017

Credit card debt has become a big problem for a lot of consumers especially for single parents that is why National Debt Relief shares some tips to manage it with a recently published article. The material released May 15, 2017 and titled “8 Tips For Single Parents Struggling With Credit Card Debt” aims to give single parents valuable insight on how to handle credit card debt in their budget.

The article starts of by pointing out that consumer debt in the US has reached levels at par with that prior to the 2008 financial crisis. A lot of this has to do with income growth having a hard time catching up with the steadily increasing cost of living. This has led a lot of single parents to rely on credit cards as they are quite easy to obtain in the last couple of years. When there is not enough money to make ends meet, many single parents turn to credit cards to get through the month. As soon as the statement comes at the end of the month, debt starts to pile up.

The article explains that single parents need to put together a realistic budget as a way to combat credit card debt. There are instances that people just try to see what extra they have at the end of the month for payments. It is important to do it the other way around - budget first before using the credit card.

As soon as the bills arrive, the article underscores the importance of paying them on time all the time. Making it a habit to pay bills on time helps prevent lenders from adding on fees and penalties on succeeding billing statements. It also improves the credit score of single parents which will help them along the way in getting favorable financial options.

Increasing income is another way single parents can manage their credit card debts better. This is why the article explains the benefits of getting a second job for single parents. As the income increases, it is critical for single parents to have a spending plan and budget as well as credit card debt repayment plan. As this is emotionally and physically draining, it is best to take full advantage of the funds that are coming in.

CareSet Labs released the Root NPI Graph at the 2017 Academy Health ARM Meeting in New Orleans. This is a new, greatly improved version of the Doctor Referral teaming dataset commonly available from Medicare.

New Orleans (PRWEB) June 25, 2017

CareSet Labs released the Root NPI Graph today at the 2017 Academy Health ARM Meeting in New Orleans. This is a new, greatly improved version of the Doctor Referral teaming dataset commonly available from Medicare.

Originally created through Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests by Fred Trotter and subsequently called the the “Doctor Referral Dataset” as released by Medicare and “DocGraph” as released by Trotter, the original dataset debuted as one of the most disruptive dataset releases in the history of digital health. It remains a game changer for innovators and researchers, as it includes both implicit and explicit referral relationships between doctors, hospitals and other types of entities.

“Medicare is the largest single payer in the United States, and the map of the healthcare system that can be generated from its claims database is one of the most comprehensive pictures of the healthcare system in the United States,” says Trotter.

Trotter’s company CareSet uses the data to help pharmaceutical companies launch new drugs, and many of the top pharmaceutical companies. “I believe this dataset should be available to any researcher or innovator that can use the data to decrease the cost of healthcare and improve patient outcomes,” he says.

The new dataset will be available free to attendees of the Academy Health conference, or for download at http://careset.com/labs. In a recent blog post, Trotter outlines “the geeky details” of the release and why it is important at https://careset.com/rootnpigraph/

While the dataset can be viewed as the defacto map of the US healthcare system, it is also the largest graph data set that is 100% available using real names (doctor names, in this case). LinkedIn, Facebook and Twitter all have bigger graphs, but they are not 100% available to researchers. The original dataset is in broad distribution and in use by hundreds of companies including The Advisory Board, Price Waterhouse Cooper, and the Federal Trade Commission.

About Careset Systems

CareSet Systems (https://careset.com) is the nation’s first company with access to 100% Medicare Part A, B and D claims and enables the nation’s leading pharmaceutical companies to decode Medicare claims data to guide new drug launches.

About CareSet Labs

CareSet Labs (https://careset.com/labs) creates open healthcare datasets. We believe the release of reliable and current data is vital to the improvement of the healthcare system. Our mission is to encourage an ecosystem of innovators to collaborate and share tools and research methodologies around open healthcare datasets.
