The purpose of the new gift boxes is primarily to encourage independence, to empower young girls, and to teach them the value of kindness. GirlCratery believes that, rather than just buying an off-the-shelf toy, selecting their gift boxes is a way to inspire girls to become their best selves.

More information is available at https://www.girlcratery.org

The non-profit group behind GirlCratery believes that it has never been more difficult to raise young girls between five and eleven years of age – and that these girls will grow up to occupy a challenging and complex world. As such, they believe that for gift-giving occasions it is essential to give them more than a toy, but a tool that can help equip them for a bright and happy future.

They have created their gift boxes to be both fun and educational, and each one contains the prompts for a varied set of activities which will encourage traits like independence, adventurousness, creativity and confidence.

GirlCratery knows that families often raise their girls differently from the way they raise their boys, and that they tend to shelter and protect them, which can lead to them becoming shyer when it comes to exploring and trying new things. As such, they have also made their gift boxes to be a fun corrective.

All the projects the gift boxes prompt can be completed individually or amongst sister or friendship duos, trios or groups.

Interested gift givers can select from activity crates as diverse as their The Gadgets and Gizmos Crate, which contains DIY projects like a make-your-own scribble bot kit and make-your-own catapult kit, and their The Jewelry Crate, which has activities for bracelet making, metal stamping and bead lacing.

GirlCratery’s gift boxes can be purchased on a one-off basis or shoppers can opt to purchase their favorite young girl a three-month subscription to their activity crates.

A spokesperson for the girls’ education experts said, “Each crate we assemble is built with girl input. We test the ideas out with real girls, ages 5-11, and pack our crates with products and programming to support the theme. Our goal is to let them explore on their own or to spend time with an older sibling, parent, or caregiver, doing something together.”

The boxes have been designed for young girls aged between five and eleven years old to encourage screen-free fun, exploration, development, and learning. GirlCratery recommends that a subscription to their activity boxes is a perfect gift for aunts and uncles, as well as grandparents, to give their niece or granddaughter on her birthday.

While gifts for children are becoming increasingly digital, screen-oriented, and prescriptive, GirlCratery is proud to be now bringing back analog fun and gifts that promote creativity and discovery. On birthdays and other gift-giving occasions, rather than giving a standard out-of-the-box toy, the brand encourages gift givers to give young girls a hands-on experience that will help them to become more adventurous and independent, and to develop new skills and hobbies.

Their educational activity boxes, which can be used time and time again, contain activities and prompts that will engage girls individually, or that they can enjoy doing together with their family.

Gift givers can choose to sign up their niece or granddaughter for a three-month subscription, where they will receive a surprise new box monthly, or they can choose to just start with one of their unique themed crates.

Popular new activity crates that GirlCratery has released include The Geocaching Crate, which is a perfect choice to encourage outdoor play and exploration. The kit includes a miniature geocaching tool kit and guide, as well as lots of fun prompts, activities, and accessories, like their one-of-a-kind geocaching clothing patch.

Other themes include their arts and crafts crate, gadgets and gizmos crate, jewelry-making crate, baking crate, camping crate, fidget crate, and more.

GirlCratery believes that all of their different crates are jam-packed with activities that young girls will genuinely love, and that their crates will help encourage young girls to find joy in trying and discovering new things.

A spokesperson for the hands-on learning crates said, “Give the gift of adventure and help your niece or granddaughter to become a fun-loving, adventure-seeking girl. Here at GirlCratery, we believe that all girls should experience the world around them to become the best version of themselves.”

Aware that drug abuse requires a multi-factorial approach to its recovery, Sacred Sol Institute announces that its trauma-responsive care for women has been further strengthened to include the latest research in self-exploration and positive psychology. The woman-focused drug recovery company believes that addiction stems from underlying trauma from one’s past.

More details can be found at https://sacredsolhealing.com

With the improved trauma-responsive care, women who are healing from a drug addiction learn how to release negative emotions such as guilt and hopelessness so that they can step into a more positive mindset. True to its name, Sacred Sol believes that true addiction recovery needs to come from an enlightened state of being – one that embraces mindfulness, stress management, and peer support.

Research supports this. Addiction recovery specialists have noted that a holistic approach to drug abuse offers longer-lasting, if not permanent, results. It is not “just” healing from the physically manifested drug abuse, says Sacred Sol, but digging deeper into childhood traumas so that the root cause of the addiction is addressed.

The core of the program is to release past traumas that have manifested as anxiety, depression, and shame. What most people don’t recognize is that these traumas often grow into self-loathing which triggers various forms of self-abuse such as drug addiction.

Sacred Sol is led by Renee Frye, who is not only the creator of the addiction recovery program but a beneficiary of it. She has safely and fully recovered from her drug abuse using the techniques she teaches at the institute. To date, it has helped thousands of people through many varieties of trauma.

The group specializes in the restoration and balance of the body, mind, and spirit through its trauma-response resources such as peer recovery support, holistic healing, and conflict resolution, among others.

A former patient wrote, “Renee is a lifeline to a better self. She offers understanding without judgment and lends a hand in moving forward. She is a tremendous resource. We don’t have to be alone on the journey.”

Medical procedures to replace or repair cartilage have been in use for nearly 100 years, but until recently, nearly every technique has required open surgery. This new treatment option launched by MSK Doctors London Cartilage Clinic, known as Liquid Cartilage Replacement, can be completed using only keyhole surgical techniques.

More information about the Liquid Cartilage Replacement procedure, and London Cartilage Clinic, can be found at https://londoncartilage.com/liquid-cartilage

Using the advanced procedure, the surgical team at London Cartilage Clinic can replace damaged cartilage in a joint, while minimising any surgical trauma. This helps patients to reduce their downtime and speed up their recovery, though some physical therapy will still be required.

The new treatment method is effective for all the most common causes of cartilage loss, including osteoarthritis, direct injuries, and injuries caused by overuse. However, the experts at London Cartilage Clinic believe this method may be less effective for clients with severe, advanced osteoarthritis. If the condition is severe, the clinic will work with these patients to find an alternative treatment option.

Before the procedure, the medical team will use an MRI scan to determine how extensive the damage is, and exactly where it is located. This will help them decide if Liquid Cartilage Replacement is the most effective option, or if other avenues should be explored.

The medical team recommends patients work closely with a physiotherapist, both before and after the procedure. The cartilage replacement technique involves a significant amount of regeneration within the body, and without appropriate exercises and stimulation, the process can sometimes be unsuccessful.

Though Liquid Cartilage Replacement is often a permanent solution, clients may require additional treatments if they cause further damage to the joint, or experience more cartilage loss, in the future.

About London Cartilage Clinic

London Cartilage Clinic is a private clinic in London, England, founded by Prof. Paul Lee, and staffed by a multidisciplinary team of scientists, engineers, and doctors. The clinic offers a full range of cartilage treatments, both surgical and non-surgical, such as cell therapy, and scaffold regeneration.

London Cartilage Clinic explains, “Scientists around the world have been working on the treatment of joint pain and there are many approved therapies designed specifically for cartilage issues. Each person’s needs should be taken into account with their individual circumstances and at the same time, each joint will have a specific environment and need. For further details, please feel free to contact us.”

The North Las Vegas clinic has updated its treatment protocols in line with patient demand for better access to remote counseling and monitoring as they navigate the difficulties of post-Covid Syndrome (PCS), or Long Covid, as it is popularly known.

More information can be found at https://ingoodhealthpc.com

In Good Health PC, headed by Dr. Thomas Sharon, DNP, MPH, APRN-BC, has introduced a new program – requiring only a cell phone and a smartwatch – offering patients 24/7 remote monitoring of their symptoms and overall health. The smartwatch, provided by the clinic, incorporates GPS tracking and lets the group’s clinical team monitor and track key medical parameters.

Recent studies have shown that people suffering from Long Covid carry a heightened risk of developing kidney disease, elevated blood pressure, and other complications. People who suffer from Long Covid, also known as ‘long-haulers’, experience extended symptoms one to three months after they were infected. This condition can affect both people who reported mild symptoms and those who complained of severe symptoms.

For example, one study indicated that people with Long Covid can have more than a 25% drop in glomerular filtration rates (GFR) without showing any symptoms. The GFR demonstrates how well the kidneys are filtering.

Many people have reported their frustrations that when they seek help for symptoms in emergency rooms and urgent care centers, the results from standard diagnostic testing have proven inconclusive.

In Good Health PC has developed treatment strategies for PCS patients. The clinic monitors individuals’ health statuses by conducting facial scans using the patient’s cell phone camera with the Binah.ai artificial intelligence app. Dr. Sharon orders imaging and blood testing to help identify the extent of autoimmune inflammation and the likelihood of additional complications.

During patient consultations, Dr. Sharon explains what diagnostic tools are required to identify the danger of catastrophic occurrences, how to prevent such events, and how to manage the symptoms. The clinic has been working with this problem for over a year and has helped improve the health outcomes for thousands of patients. In Good Health PC also provides effective preventive medicine for those individuals who undergo diagnostic testing.

One patient commented: “Dr. Sharon was quick to the problem and was quick to the solution. He was very easy to talk to and very understanding, and everything went smoothly in all – he’s a great doctor. I would recommend Doctor Thomas Sharon to anyone who’s trying to seek help.”

With the update, Pilloo is offering couples the chance to design personalized custom-shaped pillows as gifts for Valentine’s Day. The pillows are made using soft velvet fabric and range in size from small to life-size.

More details can be found at https://www.pilloo.ca

Valentine’s Day can present many challenges to couples regarding gift giving. Partners often don’t know what to get for their loved ones and resort to buying cliched gifts that lack a personal touch. Pilloo’s new custom-shaped pillows allow couples to design unique, one-of-a-kind gifts to celebrate the special occasion and provide lasting huggable memories.

Pilloo’s pillow design process is simple. “The customer starts by uploading their image to our online design platform,” explains a spokesperson for the company. “Then the platform generates a mock-up that can be cropped and edited to suit the customer’s preferences. Once finished, they choose a pillow size and submit their order. It’s as easy as that.”

The pillows are handcrafted in Pilloo’s Montreal studio and typically take 7 to 15 business days to arrive to the customer. They are made using 100% high-quality, wrinkle-free polyester velvet fabric and the designs are printed using a sublimation process free of toxic inks and resins. They are also hypoallergenic, anti-microbial, and machine-washable.

In addition to Valentine’s Day, the pillows can be customized to celebrate birthdays, graduations, weddings, anniversaries, and holidays. They can also be used to promote brands and businesses. Many customers purchase pillows with photos of their pets printed on them as family keepsakes.

A satisfied customer said: “I bought three pillows of varying sizes. One of my photos was low quality and a Pilloo expert worked with me through several emails until I found a photo that worked. The fact they cared so much about making a good product really meant a lot. I’m beyond thrilled with how my pillows came out.”

About Pilloo

Pilloo has been manufacturing pillows since 1999. During an over 20-year span they have collaborated with thousands of customers to spread joy, inspire smiles, and create lasting huggable memories.

Chiliz News reports that Hall of Goats’ latest launch includes 10,000 limited edition NFTs of Caleb Williams priced at USD 30.00 each. Holders of the NFT will also be able to use the avatar in Hall of Goats’ upcoming NIL college football video game scheduled for release in 2024.

More details can be found at https://chiliznews.com/hall-of-goats-drops-usc-quarterback-caleb-williams-nft-digital-avatar-will-release-nil-college-football-video-game

The recently released NFT Digital Avatar honors USC quarterback and 2022 Heisman Trophy winner Caleb Williams. Williams, a sophomore at USC, had a banner year for the Trojans in 2022, throwing for 4,075 yards and a school-record 47 total touchdowns, leading them to an 11-3 record. In addition to the Heisman Trophy, he was also awarded the AP College Football Player of the Year, USC’s first winner since Reggie Bush in 2005.

The NFT comes with a variety of benefits for fans, including AMAs with Williams and exclusive merchandise drops. Holders also gain early access to Hall of Goats’ upcoming NIL college football video game.

Hall of Goats is a gaming company founded by 2004 Heisman Trophy winner Matt Leinart, former USC player Greig Carlson and current Heisman Trophy winner Williams. Part of their mission includes assisting college athletes in capitalizing on their NIL (Name, Image, and Likeness) rights.

According to Chiliz News, the video game, which is currently under development, will allow players to collect college football stars, upgrade them, build a team, and compete in arcade-style football games. It will also feature a marketplace where players can trade NFT avatars.

“The developmental stage of game building is like a ‘blank sheet of paper.’ You get a chance to find the ‘soul’ of your experience and what will make it unique and worthy of players’ attention and time,” says Brian Graham, SVP of Gaming at Hall of Goats. “Joining Hall of Goats takes me back to an older era of sports games from my arcade days, where we have creative liberty and can build on something that focuses on just being fun.”

In addition to helping fund the video game and future NFT drops, a portion of the proceeds from the Caleb Williams NFT Digital Avatar will go to Caleb Cares, Williams’ foundation dedicated to eliminating bullying.

Pilloo, a Canadian supplier of premium pillows with custom shapes and prints, has updated its personalization service to allow pillows printed with customer-uploaded images in sizes ranging from 16 inches to lifesize.

More information about Pilloo, and the updated pillow customization service, can be found at https://www.pilloo.ca

Decades of using the internet have changed the way many people give gifts, replacing traditional options with highly customized, personal one-off items. The updated customizer from Pilloo expands on this personalization by providing customers with an option to print fully life-sized pillows in the shape of pets or partners, with their images printed on them.

Though the pillow customizer is most often used to create pillows of pets or partners, it works with any image a customer may want, and has even been used to create pillows with entire family portraits on them. Clients can choose from a range of sizes to match their design, with the most popular size being a 24-inch pillow. Images can also be put onto pillows that are up to 60 inches tall, which allows for a lifesize representation of most dogs and some humans.

The smallest pillow offered by the company is 16 inches, but customers can also choose to have their custom image printed on a 4-inch keychain. Though the keychains use a different customizer tool, they are similar to the company’s premium pillows, being plush, and printed on both sides on soft velvet fabric.

Handcrafted in Montreal, Canada, the pillows are built to stand up to everyday use, and are fully machine-washable. Every item is hypoallergenic and anti-microbial, as well as being printed with non-toxic, environmentally friendly inks.

To ensure clients can get their orders in time for Valentine’s Day, Pilloo makes all deliveries using FedEx. The company delivers throughout Canada and the United States, and shipments should be received within 7 – 15 days after an order is placed.

One satisfied pillow customizer said, “I cannot say enough good things about this. I ordered 2 of these, one for myself and one for my son. He was thrilled. Great quality. Looks just like our sweet dog who passed away.”

Fraser announces the expansion of his data-driven mobile fitness platform in support of personal trainers across South Florida, now bringing FitnessAtYourDoor to new regions. Fort Lauderdale coaches can access the program to expand their business while quickly attaining new clients for door-to-door workout sessions.

More information is available at https://fitnessatyourdoor.com/trainwithus

The newly expanded platform acts as a hub for health coaches while bridging the gap between trainers and clients in need. By removing the hurdle represented by excess travel, FitnessAtYourDoor provides clients with added incentives to arrange for ongoing coaching. This approach is said to produce greater client satisfaction – and with that comes commitment.

According to FitnessAtYourDoor, then, the steady supply of regular clientele in their local area offers fitness trainers assurance that their business can proceed unimpeded. As such, coaches can put their full focus on training their clients rather than worrying about membership renewals and billing-related concerns.

Fraser asks burned-out trainers: “Besides training, your day is probably a hot mess of staying in shape. Even though it’s often the absolute last thing you want to do when the rest of your life is consumed by fitness, gotta stay in shape so people will hire you, right?”

FitnessAtYourDoor emphasizes that the key to accomplishing this goal is freeing up hours for personal health coaches in Fort Lauderdale and beyond. As an intermediary between its affiliated training staff and private home or office-based clients, the platform handles all facets of billing and marketing so as to give trainers more time to work on their professional responsibilities.

Via its official website, FitnessAtYourDoor also points to the upcoming development of an additional platform enabling trainers to showcase details surrounding their individual training options. This is in line with the company’s mission to streamline its trainers’ busy schedules, effectively removing the need for them to spend weeks or longer designing a website.

The company describes one of its trainers, Lorenzo, as benefiting from FitnessAtYourDoor’s business model: “Lorenzo is training to go play football in the CFL. In his off time, he keeps busy by training with FitnessAtYourDoor so he doesn’t have to worry about having to rebuild his client base between every season.”
