International Expert Shares 3 Tips To Start Sustainable Self-Care Practices

CHARLOTTE, N.C., Aug. 6, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Self-care has exploded in popularity, with Google searches on the topic spiking during the Coronavirus pandemic. Taylor Elyse Morrison, founder of self-care start-up Inner Workout, tells the Epsom Salt Council she defines self-care as listening within and responding in the most loving way possible.

«Self-care should be integrated into every aspect of your life,» says Morrison, an international speaker who has been featured in leading publications like Forbes, Entrepreneur, Well + Good, Bustle and Thrive Global. «It’s an ongoing internal conversation. What do I need right now? How can I honor that request with love?»

Morrison’s start-up, Inner Workout, is designed to eliminate burnout by helping people build self-care practices through the five dimensions of wellbeing: physical, energetic, mental/emotional, wisdom and bliss. Inner Workout offers classes both in-person and online that blend movement, breathwork, journaling and meditation, plus workshops and workbooks to support people’s self-care journeys.

Morrison also hosts a podcast called «Be School» about personal development, self-study and redefining success. She says her idea for the company came from a place of need.

«A few years ago, I was in a place where I was regularly burning myself out. I was working a full-time job, running a side hustle, volunteering, and planning a wedding. It was not a sustainable way to live, so I started exploring self-care.»

Right now, her favorite forms of self-care include taking long bike rides surrounded by nature and soaking in Epsom salt baths.

«Epsom salt baths are so simple and so healing,» says Morrison. «I feel tension melt away as I soak. My muscles release, and there’s often a mental or emotional release that happens as well.»

Here are her top three tips for integrating self-care into daily life:

Find the right self-care activities for you – Morrison says the biggest misconception about self-care is people associating the term with a specific set of tasks.

«Try on the practices that sound interesting to you. If it feels good, keep it. If not, let it go with love!»

Not sure where to start? Inner Workout offers a Take Care assessment that helps measure your wellbeing across the five dimensions and offers personalized self-care practices based on the results.
Normalize self-care – Morrison suggests asking friends what self-care looks like for them. This will spark ideas for your own self-care practices and make self-care a normal topic of conversation.
Be present – «When you’re really ‘there’ for every moment, you start to notice thoughts, sensations, and emotions that you might otherwise miss.»

In addition to being present, Morrison says it’s okay to change your self-care routine to reflect your current needs.

«What felt good in January may not feel good for you now. What felt supportive yesterday may not feel supportive today. Honor your needs in the present moment.»

About Taylor Elyse Morrison

Taylor Elyse Morrison is an international speaker, podcaster, and the founder of Inner Workout. She’s on a mission to help people beat burnout through sustainable self-care practices. Taylor is also a trained facilitator, a certified 200-hour yoga instructor, and a certified group fitness instructor. https://taylorelyse.com/

About the Epsom Salt Council

Epsom salt — actually magnesium sulfate — is one of the most versatile household products, with uses ranging from creating at-home spa treatments to soothing achy muscles to helping start or improve gardens. It’s been used therapeutically for hundreds of years, and it’s gaining a new generation of fans looking for a safe, economical alternative in a sea of expensive, over-the-counter remedies. Epsom salt is easy to use, easy to find in your local pharmacy or grocery store and it costs about the same per use as a cup of coffee.

Worldwide Syngas & Derivatives Industry to 2025 – Featuring Sasol Limited, Haldor Topsoe & Air Liquide Among Others

DUBLIN, Aug. 6, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — The «Syngas & Derivatives Market by Production Technology, Gasifier Type, Feedstock (Coal,…

DUBLIN, Aug. 6, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — The «Syngas & Derivatives Market by Production Technology, Gasifier Type, Feedstock (Coal, Natural Gas, Petroleum Byproducts, Biomass/Waste), Application (Chemicals, Fuel, and Electricity), and Region – Global Forecast to 2025» report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com’s offering.

The syngas & derivatives market is estimated at 2,45,557 MWth in 2020 and is projected to reach 4,06,860 MWth by 2025, at a CAGR of 10.6% from 2020 to 2025.

Rising environmental concerns have been the major drivers for the growth of the syngas & derivatives market in order to provide alternative methods of fuel production. In addition, high demand for chemical intermediaries in the production of hygiene and sanitization and pharmaceutical products due to outbreak of COVID-19 is anticipated to fuel the growth of syngas and its derivatives in the chemical segment.

Impact of COVID-19 outbreak on the syngas & derivatives market

The COVID-19 outbreak started from Wuhan, China has spread across all the major economies in the world. The syngas & derivatives market has been slightly impacted due to the outbreak of COVID-19 as most of the syngas and its derivatives production plants are located in the countries that are highly impacted due to coronavirus. Also, major manufacturers of syngas and its derivatives have their headquarters and principal subsidiaries in the impacted countries. The disruption caused by the COVID-19 outbreak has impacted the supply chain of the syngas & derivatives market due to low demand fuel and as the production has slowed down in many manufacturing units of the end-users.

However, manufacture of chemical intermediaries for health and hygiene products and fuels was marked as critical infrastructure and as essential goods and services, which led to continuation in the operations and production of syngas and its derivatives to meet the demand across the world. In the first half of 2020, companies operating in the syngas & derivatives market focused on the production of chemical intermediaries to support the demand for agrochemicals and hygiene and sanitization products. Syngas was also widely used for electricity generation. Significant consumption of syngas and its derivatives is anticipated in applications across chemicals, fuel, and electricity.

Biomass/waste segment is projected to grow at the highest CAGR in the syngas & derivatives market between 2020 and 2025

Biomass/waste is projected to be the fastest-growing feedstock segment in the syngas & derivatives market during the forecast period. Biomass and organic wastes are considered as renewable feedstocks that are available in high quantities in many countries. The application of biomass and organic wastes in the production of syngas & derivatives produces clean and renewable energy and reduces landfills to a great extent. The adoption of biomass/waste feedstock in the syngas & derivatives market is in the nascent stage. With increasingly stringent environmental regulations in developed countries, the biomass/waste segment is expected to grow at a rapid pace during the forecast period.

Chemicals segment contributed to the highest volume consumption in the syngas & derivatives market

The chemicals segment is estimated to lead the syngas & derivatives market in 2020, due to rising demand for syngas & derivatives such as methanol, ammonia, and FT synthesis products for the production of chemical intermediates. Chemicals such as methanol are used as an intermediate for the synthesis of many chemicals as well as in fuels. Ammonia being the major chemical used in the production of fertilizers is the prime reason for the growth of the chemicals segment for the syngas & derivatives market, subsequently due to COVID-19 impact fueling the growth of agrochemicals.

Based on the region, Asia Pacific is projected to grow at the highest CAGR in the syngas & derivatives market between 2020 and 2025

The syngas & derivatives market in the Asia Pacific region is projected to grow at the highest CAGR between 2020 and 2025. China accounted for the major share of the global syngas & derivatives market in 2019, which is driving the growth of the Asia Pacific region. China, India, and Japan are the lucrative markets for syngas & derivatives in the Asia Pacific region during the forecast period. The growth can be attributed to increasing demand for syngas & derivatives from the region’s chemical, fuel, and electricity industries, particularly in China and India.

Governor Newsom’s Council for Post-Secondary Education Announces California Higher Education Recovery with Equity Taskforce

SACRAMENTO, Calif., Aug. 6, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Recognizing the vital role that higher education will play in our state’s economic recovery from COVID-19 and in socioeconomic mobility for communities hit hardest by the pandemic, Governor Gavin Newsom’s Council for Post-Secondary Education today announced the creation of the new California Higher Education Recovery with Equity Taskforce. The Taskforce—made up of state and national experts in higher education…

Starting in August, the group will work collaboratively to produce a roadmap for the state’s education leaders, government, and philanthropic institutions to ensure that California’s public post-secondary institutions recover from the impacts of COVID-19 more integrated, equitable, and resilient than before—and more aligned with the economic needs of the state. Their analysis will consider an array of issues such as teaching and learning, student enrollment and transitions, student experience, infrastructure, operations, and finance. The recommendations, to be delivered by the end of 2020, will outline specific actions that can be taken in the mid- and long-term.

«These are trying times for California’s students and institutions of higher education. Recasting those challenges as opportunities requires bold vision, deep partnership, and practical ideas,» said Lande Ajose. «When we combine those elements, we can reimagine and rework how our world-class system of public higher education can better serve the diverse and hard-working students of the state. I know the equity-minded leaders on this taskforce can help us emerge from this moment stronger and more resilient than before.»

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, colleges and universities have had to shift rapidly to remote learning as they grapple with the financial challenges of a recession. The institutions’ reduced operations and the pressures of the broader financial crisis have disproportionately impacted low-income, housing and food insecure, and undocumented students.

«In rising to meet the unprecedented challenges of this year, Dr. Ajose and Governor Newsom’s staff have exhibited decisiveness and dedication to equity as well as an unwavering commitment to collaboration and diverse expertise,» said Timothy P. White, Chancellor of the California State University and a member of the Governor’s Council for Post-Secondary Education.

Eloy Ortiz Oakley, Chancellor of the California Community Colleges and a member of the Governor’s Council for Post-Secondary Education said: «With the launch of this taskforce, we will ensure that higher education and workforce concerns are intentionally included in an equitable economic recovery. Our goal is to improve California’s public higher education system so that it truly operates as a system and closes the persistent equity gaps exacerbated by the current crisis.»

Governor Gavin Newsom established the Governor’s Council for Post-Secondary Education in August 2019 to serve as an independent consultative resource to the Governor around the economic and social impact of higher education in the state. The Council’s work—to envision an integrated statewide system for post-secondary education that serves California’s diverse students for life—is essential for addressing the immediate and lasting challenges presented by the COVID-19 pandemic. The Governor’s Council on Post-Secondary Education has now established the Recovery with Equity Taskforce to make recommendations, which will be presented to the Council and the Governor.

The work of the California Higher Education Recovery with Equity Taskforce will be facilitated by Education First, a consulting firm with expertise in education policy, strategy, and research that will provide analysis and project management.

Members of the Taskforce include:

Lande Ajose, Office of the Governor
Loren Blanchard, California State University
Nathan Brostrom, University of California
Bridget Burns, The University Innovation Alliance
Ben Cannon, Oregon State Higher Education Coordinating Commission
Michelle Asha Cooper, Institute for Higher Education Policy
Keith Curry, Compton College
Bryan Daley, City College of San Francisco
Mildred Garcia, American Association of State Colleges and Universities
Daisy Gonzales, California Community Colleges Chancellor’s Office
Shaun Harper, USC Rossier School of Education
Monica Lozano, College Futures Foundation
Timothy Renick, Georgia State University
Judy Sakaki, Sonoma State University
Deborah Santiago, Excelencia in Education
Michele Siqueiros, Campaign for College Opportunity
Gabrielle Starr, Pomona College
Hayley Weddle, formerly of the UC Board of Regents
Michael Wiafe, formerly of the Cal State Student Association

Global Sports Marketing Experts Launch Women-Owned, Diversity Led Cannabis Consulting Group

CHICAGO, Aug. 6, 2020 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Dope Girls Consulting, a women-owned, diversity led cannabis consulting group, recently launched with headquarters in Chicago, Illinois. Co-founded by sports marketing experts Rachel Bradley and Rene Chatfield, the firm is focused on helping minorities gain traction in the cannabis industry.

Dope Girls Consulting is a full-service agency providing cannabis…

Dope Girls Consulting is a full-service agency providing cannabis license application support and industry-specific marketing, branding, and design advisement. «We noticed there was a lack of resources available to small businesses and applicants with less startup capital. Dope Girls Consulting grew out of a desire to help people from all backgrounds enter this thriving industry,» said Bradley.

The national firm is currently working with Illinois cannabis license applicants under the state’s social equity program. Administered by the Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation, the program uses a formula to award licenses to racially disadvantaged groups who live in areas with high rates of cannabis-related arrests, convictions and incarcerations.

«Cannabis leadership positions are primarily held by white males. Our focus is changing the narrative and serve as industry catalysts for a more inclusive community,» stated Chatfield.

Bradley, who has directed integrative and experiential programs for Samsung, Nike, and Roc Nation, was drawn to the industry while seeking relief for a health condition. Chatfield, a lifelong sports enthusiast and former marketer for Nike, the WNBA, and clients in the NBA, also became interested in the market while looking for alternatives to manage her sports injuries.

«I saw firsthand how athletes were being offered harmful pain management options. While learning about cannabis, I realized it was imperative that we develop healthier alternatives and find ways to inspire more minorities to get involved with the cannabis industry,» stated Chatfield.

Beyond Dope Girls Consulting, both Bradley and Chatfield have strong entrepreneurial backgrounds. Together, they have applied for an Illinois wholesale infuser license with plans on launching the first minority, women and veteran-owned cannabis brand in the state.

Suffragist and Civil Rights Leader Ida B. Wells to be Honored in Photo Mosaic Installation in DC’s Union Station for National Women’s Suffrage Month

WASHINGTON, Aug. 6, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — The Women’s Suffrage Centennial Commission (WSCC) will commemorate 100 years of women’s constitutional right to vote with National Women’s Suffrage Month by sponsoring a mosaic of the iconic suffragist and civil rights leader,

From August 24-28, the 1,000 square-foot mosaic, titled Our Story: Portraits of Change, will be displayed on the marble floor, assembled from thousands of historical photos of suffragists, with each image telling its own story about the fight for women’s right to vote. The project will be completed in partnership with visual artist Helen Marshall of the People’s Picture and Christina Korp of Purpose Entertainment. An interactive online version of the mosaic is available for visitors to zoom in on photos and learn more about the suffragists depicted at www.ourstory100.com.

As the starting location of the suffrage «Prison Special» tour in February 1919, Union Station in Washington, D.C. played an important role in the American suffrage movement. The «Prison Special» was a train tour organized by suffragists who had been jailed for picketing the White House in support of the federal women’s suffrage amendment. In February 1919, 26 members of the National Woman’s Party boarded a chartered train they dubbed the «Democracy Limited» at Union Station, and they visited cities across the country to speak to large crowds about their experiences as political prisoners.

«One of my favorite quotes from the suffrage movement comes from the newspaper The Revolution. Its motto was ‘men their rights and nothing more, women their rights and nothing less,'» said Anna Laymon, WSCC Executive Director. «This quote captures the spirit of the decades-long suffrage movement, and with her leadership in the fight for suffrage and civil rights, Ida B. Wells is the perfect example of someone who would settle for nothing less than full justice and equality. The Women’s Suffrage Centennial Commission is proud to honor her legacy and celebrate the thousands of women who fought for the right to vote with this mosaic in Union Station.»

«I am beyond grateful to have enjoyed so many of the choices brought to me by the generations of women before me. In 2018, I created the ‘Face of Suffrage’ to commemorate the centenary of the women’s vote in United Kingdom and never in a million years did I imagine it would lead to a giant artwork of prominent suffragist Ida B Wells’ at such an incredible location in the United States. Communication between women’s movements happened at mostly the same time in the U.S, Europe, New Zealand, and Australia. I see this artwork as a truly international commemoration, and I hope that many will enjoy seeing it in person and exploring it in its full interactive glory online in the safety of their homes,» said Helen Marshall, Artist of the People’s Picture.

«We are so proud to highlight and honor Ida B. Wells as the main subject of the Our Story photo mosaic. Her story as a suffragist, civil rights activist and investigative journalist is as relevant today as it was 100 years ago. We hope this project will inspire the public to learn more about her and countless others featured within the digital interactive mosaic online,» said Christina Korp, Executive Producer of Purpose Entertainment.

The installation is a signature event of National Women’s Suffrage Month, a month-long celebration honoring the history of women’s fight for the vote in August 2020, designated by Congress in collaboration with the WSCC.

The WSCC was created by Congress to coordinate the nationwide commemoration during the 100^th anniversary of the 19^th Amendment, which was officially signed into the U.S. Constitution on Aug. 26, 1920. The amendment prohibits the United States or any state from denying the right to vote based on sex, protecting women’s access to the ballot in the Constitution. Led by a bipartisan group of 14 women leaders, the WSCC has a nonpartisan mission to ensure Americans across the country have the opportunity to participate in the centennial and to learn about this important but often overlooked history.

Wrongful Death Lawsuit Filed Today Alleges 2019 Mass Casualty Fatal Fire In New York City Housing Authority’s «Death Trap» Harlem Building Was Predictable And Preventable

NEW YORK, Aug. 6, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Wrongful death and negligence lawsuits have been filed against the New York City Housing Authority (NYCHA) on behalf of four of the six Harlem «death trap» apartment building fire victims – including a mother and her four young children – alleging that the May 8, 2019 inferno was predictable and preventable, according to attorney Evan M. Oshan. The separate but related filings (Estates of Andrea Pollidore, minors B.P. and N.P, Mahmoud Ibn Talib Abdul-Rauf. v New York City Housing Authority et al., NY STATE SUPREME COURT), follow Mr. Oshan’s pre-suit claim for $2.2 billion against the «historically and institutionally inept» agency on behalf of the victims resulting from the catastrophe that shocked the city and nation.

Mr. Oshan, of Oshan & Associates, (Oshan Law) along with counsel from Saltz Mongeluzzi & Bendesky, PC, (SM&B) and Morelli Law Firm (Morelli Law) filed complaints yesterday in New York State Supreme Court. They detail the historical failures of the NYCHA, link the alleged lethal lapses to the actual cause of the early morning two-bedroom unit fire, requests a jury trial, and calls for unspecified compensatory and punitive damages. The attorneys filed on behalf of the estate administrators for Andrea Pollidore, 45, her minor daughters B.P., 6, and N.P., 11, and Jamilla Abdullah, mother of Mahmoud Ibn Talib Abdul-Rauf, 33, a family friend who was visiting the Pollidores in apartment 5-G of the Frederick E. Samuels Apartment along West 142^nd St. at Adam Clayton Powell Boulevard. Mrs. Pollidore’s two young sons were also killed in the fire.

«This complaint is the next major step on the path to justice for the victims of a devastating fire in a death trap apartment that we now know was clearly predictable and easily preventable if only the defendants had properly done their jobs and maintained the building,» said Mr. Oshan. «As alleged, the victims would unquestionably be alive today if the NYCHA defendants and their employees, not engaged in a long and well documented pattern of intentional and grossly negligent conduct that constituted reckless indifference to the tenants they were entrusted to safely shelter and protect.»

The defendants, asserts the complaints, «intentionally ignored the risk to life and limb associated with inadequately equipped and maintained fire detection and suppression systems in the Frederick E. Samuels Houses, including in Apartment 5-G.» Specifically, it is alleged, among the dozens of design, maintenance and operations shortcomings, the failure to:

Monitor and/or maintain and/or service the fire alarms and smoke detectors in the hallways.

Install adequate fire alarms and smoke detectors in the building, and in the apartment, in compliance with New York City Administrative Code § 27-980;

Install sprinklers or other fire suppression systems in the unit and throughout the building.

Mr. Oshan added, «We look forward to all the facts in this case coming to light at trial, and to holding those responsible fully accountable for their actions. It is clear and we will demonstrate that the loving mother of those four precious children was in no way connected to the cause of the fire. Her family and Mr. Abdul-Rauf, their close friend who helped with child care due to her work schedule as a health care worker, were asleep, helplessly trapped in the burning fifth-floor apartment that had steel bars on the windows and no sprinklers.»

Robert J. Mongeluzzi, of SM&B, whose firm represents the estates minors B.P. and N.P. stated, «Fire safety requires three major elements- fire suppression, fire warning and easy emergency escape . The defendants utterly failed on all three counts- no sprinklers, no wired in smoke detectors and virtually inaccessible fire escapes. The defendants struck out on all three – and these victims paid with their lives.» Andrew R. Duffy and Jeffrey P. Goodman, partners at SM&B, are Mr. Mongeluzzi’s co-counsel.

Benedict P. Morelli, who filed on behalf of the estate of Mrs. Pollidore, said the victims estates are hoping the end result of the litigation benefits the hundreds of thousands of other vulnerable New Yorkers living in NYCHA units. «The U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York’s investigation well before this tragedy of NYCHA infamously identified – leading to a record $2 billion Federal court settlement that was supposed to result in sweeping reform at the NYCHA – a culture where ‘accountability does not exist,'» he noted. «We aim to finally expose and shatter in court that culture so no resident in a NYCHA building has to worry when they go to bed if their fire alarms and smoke detectors are in working order, and if they sound will they be able to quickly escape to safety.» Mr. Morelli’s co-counsel in his firm is David T. Sirotkin.

8 Ways to Help Kids Adjust to Face Masks

WEST DES MOINES, Iowa, Aug. 6, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Are you battling with your child about wearing a face mask? Dr. Andrea White, pediatrician with

WEST DES MOINES, Iowa, Aug. 6, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Are you battling with your child about wearing a face mask? Dr. Andrea White, pediatrician with UnityPoint Health, shares her advice, including eight ways to help your child adjust to wearing face masks.

«We need to normalize mask wearing – just like we do with other good habits. If we are consistent with our messages, kids will start to understand. This is true for all age groups – even the very youngest of kids. For example, my daughter was not a big fan of pants when she was 2 years old, but we got over that hurdle with persistent messaging,» Dr. White says.

8 Ways to Help Your Child Adjust to Wearing a Face Mask:

Be Consistent. Stick with a constant message around mask wearing and include gentle reminders about not touching the outside of the mask. Make sure it has a secure fit and always covers both the mouth and nose.

Explain Why. Even very young kids will understand masks are important to help keep everyone safe.

Personalize. Let your children pick out kid-friendly masks with characters and cool designs or encourage them to decorate their own with tie-dye or fabric markers.

Take a Picture. Snap a photo of your child in a mask and reinforce how awesome he/she looks. Try a family photo, or simply look in a mirror together.

Practice at Home. Get the whole family involved in practicing mask wearing for a day, or a few hours, to get the hang of it.

Use Masks in Play. For younger kids, put masks on stuffed animals or dolls during play time.

See Masks in Action. While it’s still best to avoid public spaces as much as possible, consider taking your child out to a safe space where people are wearing masks to help normalize mask wearing.

Identify Good Behavior. Point out others who are doing a good job wearing masks.

Bonus Tip – Send Extra Masks

«There are endless scenarios where kids will gunk up masks, either by sneezing, coughing, dropping it on the bathroom floor, touching it with messy hands … the list goes on. The other day, I removed a face mask to check a patient’s mouth and the inside was covered with the remnants of a sucker! The best option is to keep a supply of back-up masks on hand – so your child can have options in case of a messy emergency,» Dr. White says.
