Teal Pumpkin Project Takes Care of Children with Allergies on Halloween

October 30, 2014 By Janet Vasquez Leave a Comment

Teal Pumpkin Project

For children with food allergies, Halloween can be a sad and heartbreaking holiday, as they can’t eat much or any of the sweets handed out to them after trick-or-treating. This year, the Food Allergy Research & Education, FARE, thought of children with allergies on Halloween and came up with the Teal Pumpkin Project that will allow kids to take part in the festivities and enjoy great toys that are handed out from teal pumpkins.

This Halloween, houses across the U.S. that will offer treats of a non-food nature will be marked by the presence of a teal pumpkin outside.

The FARE website had this to say about the Teal Pumpkin Project:

This campaign encourages people to raise awareness of food allergies by providing non-food treats for trick-or-treaters and painting a pumpkin teal – the color of food allergy awareness – to place in front of their house along with a free printable sign from FARE to indicate they have non-food treats available. The Teal Pumpkin Project is designed to promote safety, inclusion and respect of individuals managing food allergies – and to keep Halloween a fun, positive experience for all.

According to the Food Allergy Research & Education researchers, up to 15 million American have at least one type of food allergy. When it comes to children under the age of 18, one in 13 children has a food allergy. In 2013, the CDC released a study that revealed that food allergies are on the rise inside the U.S. and that in children, food allergies increased by 50% in the last 20 years. More than 200,000 visits to the ER happen because of food allergies.

Joey Nespoli is a 6-year-old boy from Aquebogue who is allergic to peanuts, wheat, barley and coconut. Him and his mother, Stacy, have painted their pumpkin teal this year and are looking forward to giving out and receiving toys, glow sticks, crayons, bubbles and vampire fangs.

The parents of children with food allergies along with FARE are working together to educate parents and Americans about food allergies. The Teal Pumpkin Project is just one way to do just that: teach people that food allergies are life-threatening.

Christian Bale Confirmed to Play Steve Jobs in Biopic

October 24, 2014 By Deborah Cobing Leave a Comment

Christian Bale Confirmed to Play Steve Jobs

Christian Bale confirmed to play Steve Jobs in the upcoming biopic directed by Danny Boyle. Some other famous names are attached to the project, among which Aaron Sorkin, the Oscar-winning screenwriter who wrote The Social Network. The movie is based on the Steve Jobs biography written by Walter Isaacson.

This is not the first movie made about Steve Job’s after the Apple founder passed away in October 2011. In 2013 the movie Jobs hit theaters with Ashton Kutcher playing the tech mogul. While Kutcher bore an extraordinary resemblance to Jobs, the movie wasn’t quite the success its producers had hoped it would be.

Danny Boyle was confirmed as the director of the new Steve Jobs biopic a few months ago and now Aaron Sorkin confirmed the rumors about Christian Bale hopping on board on the project, in an interview with Bloomberg News. He expressed excitement about working with the actor and he said that the Bale is going to be in every frame of the film. He also said that the actor has:

More words to say in this movie than most people say in three movies combined.

If you know Aaron Sorkin’s work, then you know that this statement is not a joke. Sorkin is known for creating characters with a high verbal flow. The dialogues he wrote for the TV series The West Wing are believed to have brought the success of the series.

Christian Bale confirmed to play Steve Jobs in Boyle’s biopic, which means that the Oscar buzz will follow soon. Christian Bale is known for his method acting, which involves immersing oneself in the role completely and only coming out when the work is over.

More details about the movie aren’t known, because it is still in pre-production. An exact date for the beginning of filming is also in the dark, but rumors have hinted at Spring 2015.

Christian Bale is definitely keeping busy, as he’s also set to star in Jungle Book: Origins, directed by Andy Serkis. The movie will hit theaters two years from now, in October 2016. The movie will begin filming in the summer of 2015.

Ohio Man Admits Killing Samantha Greenlee

October 22, 2014 By Georgia Dawson Leave a Comment

Killing Samantha Greenlee

Just yesterday we reported on the news that cadaver dogs were getting more appreciation from police investigators and today we have the latest news in the case of the Ohio murder. It appears that Jacob Ferrero has come forth and admitted to killing Samantha Greenlee, his girlfriend.

Ohio Man Admits to Killing Samantha Greenlee

The latest news about the murder that shocked the whole state of Ohio reveal that Jacob Ferrero has admitted to killing Samantha Greenlee, his girlfriend; the woman was pregnant with his child. After he killed her, he buried her body in the woods and set fire to the apartment they were living in to cover up any evidence he might have left behind.

The young man made the confession earlier today before leading the police investigators to the place where he buried her body, around the city of Groveport.

Ohio police confirm that the body they found was indeed the body of 22-year-old Samantha Greenlee. They stated that they were led to the place of the burial by Jacob Ferrero, the woman’s boyfriend, around 2 a.m. on Wednesday. They found Greenlee’s body in a wooded area around Madison Christian church.

Following his admission of killing Samantha Greenlee, Ferrero was charged with murder as well as with aggravated arson.
Ferrero admitted that he set fire to the apartment in order to cover up the traces of the killing. He was the father of Greenlee’s unborn child who was reported missing two weeks ago.

The police have questioned Ferrero a few times over these last couple of weeks and every time he claimed that he didn’t know anything of Greenlee’s whereabouts. Thankfully, Jacob Ferrero has caved in and confessed to the gruesome murder.

The killing of Samantha Greenlee shocked the community which is now relieved after news of the finding of the killer were revealed.

The last time anyone had seen Greenlee was on October 8, after she had finished her shift at a Bravo Italian restaurant. The woman had previously filed a report with the police saying that she was scared of her boyfriend. When the police came to their home, they found no signs of violence.

Diabetes Treatment Cost Decreased through Healthy Lifestyle

August 22, 2014 By Jack M. Robinson Leave a Comment

A new study found that people with type 2 diabetes who have increased their daily healthy eating cut their costs with an average of 500 dollars a year.

5,121 people aged between 45 and 76 were part of the experiment. The control group only benefited of three sessions of diabetes support and education a year, whereas the trial group had a dietary plan and a physical activity schedule for 10 years. Results indicated that a healthy lifestyle can reduce the diabetes treatment cost due to less hospitalizations, less hospital days, and because of reduction of medication, when compared to individuals from the control group. Both groups benefited from medical assistance and care during this time, so this is a sign that a change in your eating habits could improve your condition if you struggle with type 2 diabetes.

Diabetes treatment cost reduced by healthy lifestyle, but not for Patients with Records of Cardiovascular Disease

This shouldn’t be surprising. Other recent studies have shown cardiovascular problems to be associated with diabetics, and obviously not in a good way. Although the study seems promising, there are some limitations to how easy can we generalize the results to other groups suffering from diabetics. Mostly this is because of a specific medical care required for those in the study and because results were estimated based on self-reports of patients, which might be biased because of variations in self-evaluation due to lack of medical expertise of patient. Emotions associated with the disease should be taken into account as well.

Diabetes Treatment Cost can be reduced by adopoting a healthy lifestyle

According to Diabetes Care, where the results were published, the type of intervention endured by the individuals from the trial group was an ideal type of healthy eating behavior, called intensive lifestyle intervention (ILI). This is another change that might not occur in the situated lives of patients when they try to approach eating in a different manner. So, although diabetics’ healthy lifestyles changes can, on  a long term, result in a lower diabetes treatment cost, there are, in fact, a myriad of other influences that might interfere with the good results of this change: the degree of physical damage already suffered because of the illness, other uncontrolled life events that might occur during 10 years, other multiple health conditions, fluctuation in medical services provisions (interruptions, changes to a less advantageous care plan, or, on the contrary, to a better care plan, termination or lack of medical health insurance).
