The PanCaribbean Sigma Corporate Run 2012 has set a record target of $ 50 Million to mark Jamaica’s 50th Anniversary of Independence. The funds are earmarked for Chain of Hope Jamaica in support of the Cardiac programme at the Bustamante Hospital for Children. This effort is supported by three distinguished patrons: Her Excellency the Most Hon. Lady Patricia Allen, Dr. the Hon. R. ‘Danny’ Williams and Dr. the Hon. Usain Bolt.

The project is broad in scope and includes the construction of a 10 bed ICU, a badly needed catheter laboratory and an operating theatre. In addition to the building and equipment, the project involves the extensive training of medical and support staff to increase the pool of available health service providers with required specialized skills. The impressive project is estimated to cost US$ 5M and will benefit over 400 Jamaican children per year that are born with heart disease and children here in other parts of the Caribbean that require intensive care.

China Frontiers for the Father of a Wellness Industry in the US: Robert Tisserand, Essential Oils and the Chinese Market

China Frontiers for the Father of a Wellness Industry in the US: Robert Tisserand, Essential Oils and the Chinese Market











Presenting “How to Harness the Healing Power of Essential Oils.”


Ojai, CA (PRWEB) January 20, 2012

On Tisserand’s first visit to Beijing this November he spoke on ”How to Harness the Healing Power of Essential Oils” to several hundred attendees and over 40 journalists, including one of the leading beauty websites in China, Yoka.com. 

The event was organized by Darren Moore of Organic Earth, a China-based holistic health company. According to Moore, it was a wide-ranging talk, touching on essential oils in pregnancy, wound healing, acne, photo-ageing, obesity, sleeping difficulties and psychological stress. Tisserand noted the recent emergence of research relating to essential oils and serious conditions such as post-surgical pain, skin cancer, diabetes and antibiotic-resistant infections. 

“In a market typically inundated with urban myths, misinformation and a lack of scientific understanding, Robert’s discussion provided much-needed clarity in regards to the proven benefits and applications of essential oils… an historic first in China,” says Moore. Tisserand, currently based in Ojai, California, published the first major book on aromatherapy and essential oils, in 1977: The Art of Aromatherapy. He is currently looking for a publisher in China.

According to Tisserand, “Aromatherapy as a concept is quite well known in China, especially with regard to the impact of fragrance on the psyche. However many aspects of aromatherapy are poorly understood, and there are few aromatherapy practitioners or companies in China that use essential oils. There are several aromatherapy books in Mandarin, but I’m told that they don’t contain very much original information.” 

He sees the Chinese market for essential oils as greatly underdeveloped, and perceives a need for education, especially on safety issues which have recently been topics of discussion in the US and Europe. “There is real demand in China for information about the therapeutic and cosmeceutical effects of essential oils, both at the consumer level and in the beauty industry and the burgeoning spa market.”

“The reasonably new Chinese Spa market is booming,” confirms Geraldine Howard, President of Aromatherapy Associates.

Tisserand has just been invited to Hong Kong to give a two-day spa oriented aromatherapy seminar in June 2012.

An industry white paper on aromatherapy, essential oils and the Chinese market and spa industry will be published by Tisserand in mid-2012.

Preston Cosmetic Dentist Utilizes New State-of-the-Art Dental Technology for the Ultimate Patient Comfort

Preston Cosmetic Dentist Utilizes New State-of-the-Art Dental Technology for the Ultimate Patient Comfort













Gentle Dentist Preston


Preston , Lancashire (PRWEB UK) 10 January 2012

Cosmetic Dentistry is the specialized aspect of modern dentistry that focuses on the enhancement of the natural beauty and appearance of the teeth, gums and the smile. Things have to work right before they can look good to gain longevity. If you control the forces that cause teeth to breakdown they will last much longer. Cosmetic Dental treatment is based on artistic creation in a framework of science that requires extensive knowledge and experience to be done correctly.

A cosmetic dentist in Preston is incorporating the latest innovative technologies into her practice – including 3D imaging systems and digital laser dentistry – in order to provide dental care that are more effective ,safer, and more comfortable.

Dr. H. Kaviani and her team of dental specialists at Lane Ends Dental Practice Preston believe in the abilities of new technology to help provide healthier teeth and gums. They are also confident that state-of-the-art equipment makes dental visits more comfortable and pleasant for patients.

In the past, most patients were reluctant to have any kind of cosmetic dental treatment, as the techniques used, were often painful and required several visits before even the slightest difference could be seen. But thankfully, things have changed a great deal in the last few years. Advances in dental technology have provided less stressful visits, decreased pain and discomfort, and better results.

Preston Dentist Dr. Kaviani at Lane Ends Dental Practice has been performing cosmetic dentistry dental implants procedures in Lancashire for more than sixteen years. Over the course of her international career she has seen dental technology change rapidly with the times, as x-ray processing and patient education tools have moved into the digital age.

But being on the cutting edge of new-age dental technology is not about having the latest gadget; it is about offering the best treatment experience and finest results to the patients! Dr. Kaviani introduces new technology into her practice only after careful research to choose the technology with proven performance. Whether new technology is less invasive, more comfortable, offers better diagnostics or delivers better, longer lasting results, the bottom line is a better experience for each and every dental patient.

The key to success in Cosmetic Dentistry is the skills in being able to consistently apply new and modern techniques and materials with precision to heighten the beauty of the smile creation while improving the general dental health of the mouth. Advancements in new dental technology offer better solutions for traditional oral health problems than ever before. Some technologies you may see the next time you visit your Preston dentist will include:

CAD-CAM ; a sophisticated system for the production of all-ceramic inlays, onlays,veneers and crowns for anterior and posterior teeth. It enables ceramic restorations to be created and placed on site during a single appointment whereas conventional or dated techniques required temporaries to be placed for several weeks while an off-site dental laboratory made the restoration.

Laser Dentistry; Lasers have long been the standard of care in medicine for many surgical and cosmetic procedures. It offers a much less invasive alternative to many procedures such as gum treatment, removal of decay and teeth whitening. The light energy that is emitted from lasers results in a shortened and almost painless healing period.

Digitalized Dental Implantology; with the advancement of digital 3-D imaging, precise computer software, and unique surgical guides dental implants can replace missing teeth with pinpoint accuracy, minimum discomfort, and stunning aesthetics.

Oral Cancer Detection Technology; Cancer is a devastating, even deadly, as it can easily go undetected until it has progressed to later stages. Early detection is always vital for increasing the survival rate. This technology utilizes tissue fluorescence to visualize abnormal cells before they even reach the surface of the tissue.

Florida- Probe; A computerized automatic probing and charting system that helps dentists and hygienists to detect and diagnose periodontal disease at a very early stage. It provides an interactive exam that helps the patient to participate in treatment planning and decision making.

Digital Radiography; is the latest technology used to take dental x-rays. It is safer, faster, more accurate, and far more biologically conscientious than its traditional counterparts. The x-rays require no film, therefore reducing exposure to radiation by 80 percent and eliminating hazardous wastes. This technique uses an electronic sensor that captures and stores the images on a computer. This image can be instantly viewed and enlarged helping the dentist detect problems easier. Digital x-rays are essential, preventative, diagnostic tools that provide valuable information not visible during a regular dental exam.

By placing such emphasis on providing gentle dental care, Dr. Kaviani says ,Preston Dental Practice will strive to offer comprehensive dental care utilizing cutting-edge techniques in Cosmetic dentistry, Smile Makeovers and Periodontal care. Good dentistry is more than excellent clinical skills and state-of-the-art equipment. Establishing lasting relationships with our patients, based upon mutual trust and open communication, is an important factor.

We invite you to discover how comfortable and effective modern dentistry can be when you put the most advanced dental technology available in the hands of caring, experienced professionals.

MRO or Maintenance, Repair and Operations Supplies are Becoming the ?Unsung Heroes? of AFT Fastener?s Product Line-Up

MRO or Maintenance, Repair and Operations Supplies are Becoming the “Unsung Heroes” of AFT Fastener’s Product Line-Up











AFT Offers Nationwide Distribution Centers


Dallas, Texas (PRWEB) January 09, 2012

Maintenance, Repair, Operations (MRO) items are supplies consumed in the production process but which do not either become part of the end product or are not central to the firm’s output. MRO items include consumables, industrial equipment, plant upkeep supplies and even computer equipment. These types of items range from safety equipment, cleaning materials, laboratory and office supplies, compressors, pumps, valves, gaskets, lubricants, repair tools, and even computer equipment and supplies.

The economics of ordering MRO materials and the decisions on how to save money by consolidating the vendors involved in this order process is an ongoing science. For 2012, AFT Fasteners has dedicated copious resources to the science of saving businesses money. By consolidating the MRO shopping process into a “One Stop Shop”, AFT Fasteners has allowed MRO purchasers to save time. The goal is to provide the most comprehensive vendor line-up in the world of MRO supplies. There are numerous factors in deciding upon an MRO provider and one of the most critical is the availability of products and the “speed of delivery”.

Availability and “speed of delivery” are greatly increased by AFT Fastener’s ability to drop ship items from 19 locations in the United States. Just a few of these new locations for 2012 include Atlanta, Boston, Charlotte, Chicago, Dallas, Denver, Grand Rapids, Harrisburg, Houston, Los Angeles, St. Paul, Orlando, Pittsburgh and Portland. These warehouses contain over 60,000 individual SKU items for maximum availability and rapid delivery. Now you can order an item from your location and not worry about it being organized and shipped from across the United States. These efficient and clean warehouses offer JIT ordering and help keep your company’s inventory right where it needs to be.

As the new year progresses AFT Fasteners will be analyzing companies’ needs and what items they order to make sure that the most popular MRO and Safety Supply items are maintained for production and manufacturing needs. AFT Fasteners is a global provider for fasteners, metal plating, industrial components, petrochemical hardware, kitting and warehousing services. If your company needs a resource for these services or has any questions about industrial solutions, then please contact AFT Fasteners online or call toll free at 877-844-8595. Their sales staff and operators are excited to help your company save money and succeed.
