There were 646 press releases posted in the last 24 hours and 153,985 in the last 365 days.
The National Diaper Bank Network, and its more than 320-member diaper banks, work to reduce diaper need, which impacts one in three U.S. families.
National Diaper Bank Network's Funds for Change grant program advances the work and expansion of local organizations serving families and children experiencing diaper need.
Only national, competitive grant program dedicated solely to supporting community-based diaper banks in the U.S. marks its third year.
NEW HAVEN, CONNECTICUT, UNITED STATES, March 7, 2017 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Twenty-four organizations operating in 18 U.S. states have been named as 2017 recipients of the National Diaper Bank Network's (NDBN) $100,000 Funds for Change grants.
The initiative is the only national, competitive grant program dedicated solely to supporting community-based diaper banks in the U.S. The 2017 grants include four at $10,000 each and 20 of up to $2,500 each.
NDBN's Funds for Change grant program advances the work and expansion of local organizations serving families and children experiencing diaper need. Defined as the lack of a sufficient supply of diapers to keep an infant or toddler clean, dry and healthy, diaper need impacts one in three U.S. families, and is often a hidden consequence of poverty. Nearly 5.5 million babies in the U.S., aged three or younger, live in poor or low-income families.
•	Micro-Funding Grants of up to $2,500.
•	Diaper Bank of the Ozarks, Springfield, Mo., to hire a rural program manager to improve diaper distribution and capacity.
•	Diaper Bank of North Carolina, Durham, N.C., for an expansion project to serve a U.S. military base and its surrounding community in Cumberland County.
•	Inland NW Baby, Spokane Valley, Wash., to create diaper cupboards (small distribution programs) based in rural health clinics.
•	The HopeLine, Bronx, N.Y., to create neighborhood diaper cupboards through a Bronx-based nutrition program.
The micro-funding grants were awarded to 20 diaper bank organizations to fund proposed programs or projects that support a plan for long-term growth and sustainability.
• Alabama – Bundles of Hope Diaper Bank, Birmingham; storage/warehouse.
• District of Columbia – DC DiaperBank, Washington; capacity expansion.
• Florida – Baby Basics of Collier Co., Naples; staff/operations manager.
• Georgia – Helping Mamas, Inc, Snellville; marketing/public relations/web.
• Illinois – Cradles to Crayons Chicago, Chicago; capacity expansion.
• Illinois – Loving Bottoms Diaper Bank, Galesburg; storage/warehouse.
• Michigan – Great Start Parent Co., Grand Rapids; marketing/public relations/web.
• Michigan – The Diaper Alliance, Midland; marketing/public relations/web.
• Minnesota – Diaper Bank of Minnesota, St. Paul; staff/coordinator.
• North Carolina – Diaper Bank of North Carolina, Greater Triad, Winston-Salem; advocacy.
• New Jersey – Moms Helping Moms, Union; volunteer management.
• Ohio – Baby Basics of Cincinnati, Cincinnati; storage/warehouse.
• Oregon – PDX Diaper Bank, Portland; staff/community engagement director.
• Pennsylvania – Greater Philadelphia Diaper Bank, Philadelphia; marketing/public relations/web.
• Pennsylvania – Western Pennsylvania Diaper Bank, Pittsburgh; marketing/public relations/web.
• Tennessee – Nashville Diaper Connection, Nashville; storage/warehouse.
• Texas – Austin Diaper Bank, Austin; storage/warehouse.
• Utah – Utah Diaper Bank, Sandy; capacity expansion.
• Washington – Eastside Baby Corner, Issaquah; staff/satellite site manager.
• Washington – Baby Basics of Bellevue, Bellevue; program management.
The 2017 recipients, including eight first-time awardees, represent both newly formed and established diaper banks serving families in all sizes of communities throughout the country, from rural areas to major cities.
NDBN has bestowed more than 100 grants totaling $300,000 to local diaper bank programs, since launching Funds for Change in 2015. Because grant recipients are required to secure equal funding from local supporters, the dollars doubles in value upon implementation. To date, the net impact of NDBN's Funds for Change initiative exceeds $600,000.
Funding for the initiative is made possible by a combination of support from individual and corporate donations to NDBN, as well as major gifts. Continued financial support will enable NDBN to expand the program next year.
About the National Diaper Bank Network: The National Diaper Bank Network (NDBN) is a nationwide nonprofit dedicated to eliminating diaper need in America, by leading a national movement to help meet the basic needs of all babies and their families…including access to clean, dry diapers and other material goods. Founded in 2011 with the support of Huggies®, the network raises national awareness of diaper need (#DiaperNeed) and supports the development and expansion of diaper banks in communities throughout the country. Its active membership includes more than 320 diaper banks, diaper pantries, and food banks located in 46 states, the District of Columbia and Guam. More information on NDBN and diaper need is available at www.nationaldiaperbanknetwork.org, and on Twitter (@DiaperNetwork) and Facebook (facebook.com/NationalDiaperBankNetwork).

Founded in 2010, the Dash Duo has delighted audiences across the United States with their virtuoso performances. Husband and wife trumpeters Mary Elizabeth Bowden and David Dash teach at the University of North Carolina School of the Arts; Dash as the Assistant Professor of Trumpet and Bowden as a Resident Artist. They have commissioned James Stephenson's powerful Awakenings, for two trumpets and organ. The Dash Duo has given recitals and masterclasses at the University of North Carolina School of the Arts, Lee University, and the University of New Mexico as well as several concert series. They have performed as a duo with the Naples Concert Band and Naples Symphony Orchestra. Next season, they will appear with the Richmond Philharmonic performing Hunsberger's arrangement of the Carmen Fantasia under the baton of Peter Wilson and make their Canadian debut in Vancouver. Mary is a Yamaha Artist and has multiple recordings through Summit Records. She performs as an international soloist and chamber musician with her group, Seraph Brass. David is a member of the Santa Fe Opera and was previously a member of the Naples Philharmonic and "The President's Own" United States Marine Band. Mary and David perform together in the Watson Brass, the faculty quintet at UNCSA.
www.dashduo.com
"The stage lit up, as Bowden showed why Yale's graduates are so highly regarded."
The Commonwealth Times (Richmond, Virginia)
"Those in attendance enjoyed listening to Bowden nail Catherine McMichael's Totem Voices, a multi-movement work that highlighted her excellent control and phrasing. Hall and Bowden then delivered a very impressive performance of Joseph Turrin's Arabesque for Two Trumpets, after which the crowd roared."
International Trumpet Guild Journal
"Joseph Hallman's Sonata for Trumpet (and Flugelhorn) was played with impeccable precision of tone and technique by the performers, Mary Bowden and Milana Strezeva. The third movement included much technical work that Bowden handled effortlessly. The piece showcased the multitude of talents of this rising star in the trumpet world."
"Mary Elizabeth Bowden looked as willowy and elegant as a high-fashion model as she delivered the Arutunian Concerto for Trumpet and Orchestra. The long stretches of multiple-tongued passage work were dispatchedwith striking precision and the lyric moments were invested with bronzed, singing tone. Very impressive."
Music Through The Door
"The Chameleon Arts Ensemble completed its exploration of Bach and the Baroque's influence on subsequent generations by returning to the source and giving us all six Brandenburg concertos in a single evening. The second half opened with Brandenburg No. 2, notable for its high-register concertino of flute, oboe and clarino trumpet; in this instance Mary Elizabeth Bowden, to great effect and with no apparent effort, played a piccolo trumpet with rotary valves. The allegro was played briskly, square, tight and muscular, followed by a tender and exceptionally expressive andante while the trumpet rested. The third movement fugue was delightful, with wonderful interplay among the soloists."
The Boston Music Intelligencer
"Bowden executed the difficult leaps (and in a high register for her trumpet) with ease and aplomb."
Courier and Press
"The high calibre of the playing is often staggering (see the high-energy roller-coaster of a ride that is Dilorenzo's three-and-a-half-minute Go)… One comes away from the release marveling at the performances and the rich, soaring sound generated by the five musicians."
Textura Magazine (Canada)
"Fine Playing."
Gramophone Magazine
"This is a very fine brass quintet that makes beautiful sounds."
American Record Guide
"She performs with authority throughout, whether executing notes acrobatically or murmuring softly, and her playing exemplifies poise and clarity… All things considered, it's safe to assume admirers of Bowden's Radiance will be as impressed by this latest collection."
Textura Review
"With some amazing arrangements as well as some works by living composers, this CD offers an unusually attractive program, which is ravishingly played by the American trumpeter Mary Elizabeth Bowden…There are no limits to Bowden's music-making. She is highly virtuosic, but also masters the most delicate and lyrical tones…her art of colours and the warmth of her tone are particularly striking. There is nothing shrill, nothing seems uncontrolled, and everything points to an absolutely sovereign mastery of the instrument."
"There's something about Mary Elizabeth Bowden and her ability on the trumpet – a fluid sense of light and dark, of grace and power…"
Richmond Magazine
"The opening piece, Escapade–by the easy to enjoy American composer Joseph Turrin–immediately shows off Bowden's brilliant and colorful sound. [David Ludwig's] Radiance is a dreamy, yet thoughtful work, awash with delicate tonality and an uneasy tranquility. This is a musical business card for a very fine young artist, and it works quite well."
Broad Street Review (Philadelphia)
"Bowden's sound is indeed "radiant"-very clear, focused, slightly lighter than some, but marked by dramatic power and elegant lyricism. She is equally at home on the high piccolo trumpet as on the larger horns...This is a very enjoyable recording that will prove of great value to trumpeters and all lovers of new music."
The Brass Herald (England)
"Her piccolo trumpet tone is pure, refined, and warm—quite impressive. She sounds even better in David Ludwig's 'Radiance' for piccolo trumpet and strings. It is a lyrical work with big leaps up to very high notes, and she does them with no apparent strain."
"A splendid debut recording of classical works by trumpeter Mary Elizabeth Bowden, especially when her playing is so expressive on the eight compositions. On technical grounds, she's an exquisite player whose polished tone is heard in ample supply on the seventy-four-minute release."
"The title-track "Radiance," an adaptation of David Ludwig's plaintive soliloquy for oboe and strings, shows just how chaste and radiant a piccolo trumpet can be…Splendidly played... Bowden does her best work on James Stephenson's erratically stylish track "Croatian Trio".
"Soloist Mary Elizabeth Bowden delivered a clear, beautifully phrased reading of the once groundbreaking work [Haydn Trumpet Concerto]. Bowden rendered clean scale motifs and virtuosic flourishes with ease."
Durango Herald
"The title-track 'Radiance' shows just how chaste and radiant a piccolo trumpet can be … Splendidly played. Bowden does her best work on James Stephenson's 'Croatian Trio'."
"An outstanding solo performance by trumpet soloist Mary Elizabeth Bowden."
Luzerner Zeitung (Switzerland)
"There's something about Mary Elizabeth Bowden and her ability on the trumpet – a fluid sense of light and dark, of grace and power …"

This is the first report that deals with the effect of yerba mate (YM) and chlorogenic acid (CGA) consumption on blood total creatine phosphokinase (CPK), lactate and irisin levels after a detraining period. Healthy mice (n = 50) were randomly separated into the following experimental groups: SED = sedentary control; TRAIN = mice submitted to training (swimming) for 8 weeks; DETRAIN = mice submitted to training for four weeks and after submitted to detraining for four weeks; DETRAIN CGA = mice submitted to training for four weeks and after submitted to both detraining and standard CGA consumption for four weeks; DETRAIN YM = mice submitted to training for four weeks and after submitted to both detraining and consumption of roasted YM infusion for four weeks. No significant (p > 0.05) difference was found in relation to the lactate value. The DETRAIN CGA group had a lower CPK data when compared with the other groups. The DETRAIN YM group showed a lactate value slightly lower than that from DETRAIN CGA one. Blood irisin value had no statistical (p > 0.05) difference between studied groups. Irisin value in sedentary group had a value non-statistically (p > 0.05) significant when compared with the other groups after a detraining period. Therefore, CGA could decrease the protein catabolism via CPK inhibition during detraining. YM may maintain a part of the lipid mobilization during detraining, leading to the sparing of a fraction of the lactate.

Search to find solution for Royston Hospital
By Ewan Foskett
Royston Hospital 1
A SEARCH to find a temporary site for patients and services who have to move out following the planned closure of Royston Hospital is set to be launched.
The Crow broke the news the community hospital could be shut for at least three years while it is refurbished.
NHS Hertfordshire, The Primary Care Trust, published a report revealing the changes which could see the site shut next year to inpatients – while outpatient services may be transferred to other local centres.
Peter Homent, treasurer of the Friends of Royston Hospital, said: "The PCT and all the local GP practices are 100 per cent behind the Friends' view that collectively we try to find a single temporary location to keep all the outpatient services in the way they are run now.
"There's going to be a meeting about that on December 8."
The Friends had said they were "concerned that the concept of a community hospital in Royston is at risk of being lost during the hiatus between the closure of the present community hospital and the building of a promised care home".
Fears were also raised over the effect on intermediate care and the provision of geriatric care – but committee members were "relishing" the chance to make positive moves.
Royston's MP Oliver Heald welcomed the news that a solution might be found.
He said: "I have spoken to the chief executive of the PCT and explained that it's very important to keep the 32 clinics that are going on there involved in the process.
"Some of the clinics are from NHS trusts, so it's important to keep them in the loop.
"I have a meeting with local councillors and Dr Peter Gough (GP at Market Hill Surgery) and we're going to talk about this and what the views are to see if we can work with the PCT and find a solution that improves NHS provision in the town."
Jacqui Bunce, PCT programme director, said: "We are pleased that the Friends are talking about the proposals we have presented around the future of Royston Hospital and intermediate care services.
"A new approach for delivering intermediate care has already been agreed by the board of the PCT.
"What we are doing now is consulting on how we can help more patients to be cared for in their own homes and also how we can provide intermediate care beds in more places so that people can be looked after nearer to where they live.
"The proposals specifically for Royston are that in partnership with Hertfordshire County Council and Royston GPs, we would find an independent care home provider to redevelop the hospital site to provide purpose-built, modern facilities for intermediate care and residential/nursing home care to serve the local population.
"We would also provide space in a suitable local facility for running outpatient clinics and other services.
"A conversation café will be held in Royston early in January. This event will give us the chance to explain more about the proposals and give people an opportunity to give us their views."
However it is not just patients who could be moved as the hospital is also home to Royston Community Transport and a volunteers group.
The group co-ordinates approximately 80 drivers who use their own cars to transport elderly, frail and disabled people to essential appointments in North Herts and South Cambs.
In a letter the community transport group said: "Any proposal to close Royston Hospital is likely to present us and our sister organisation, Royston Volunteer Bureau, which is also based in the hospital building, with considerable problems, not least the need to find alternative premises."

Great White Shark's Endangered Species Listing Proposed In California
By Laila Kearney
SAN FRANCISCO, Feb 6 (Reuters) - The California Fish and Game Commission voted on Wednesday to recommend protection of the great white shark, the world's largest predatory fish, in waters along the Pacific Coast, under the state's endangered species law.
The five-member panel acted unanimously to designate the great white as a candidate for state protection after environmental groups presented data showing adult and sub-adults numbering fewer than 340 in two principal feeding grounds off central California and Mexico's Baja Peninsula.
The species has been off-limits to commercial fishing under California law since 1994.
Great white sharks, particularly as juveniles, still fall prey as unintentional "bycatch" in gill-net fishing that targets halibut, swordfish and white sea bass off Southern California and Baja, said Geoff Shester of the California program Oceana, one of three environmental groups petitioning for protection.
There is no limit on bycatch and no penalty for incidental taking of great whites, although fishermen are supposed to try to throw them back when they are caught, Shester said.
The candidate designation, the first for a marine animal under the state's endangered species act, launches a yearlong review by California's Fish and Wildlife Department. That agency will recommend by next February whether the shark warrants protection as threatened or endangered or not at all. The Fish and Game Commission will make the final decision.
If formally listed, fishery management bodies would be required to develop measures to minimize bycatch, Shester said.
In the meantime, candidate status carries the same force as an actual listing, though as a practical matter it conveys little in the way of concrete protections.
Oceana and its two co-petitioners - the Center for Biological Diversity and Shark Stewards - also are seeking protection of California's great whites under the U.S. Endangered Species Act.
The U.S. Marine Fisheries Service ruled in September that a federal listing may be warranted and a decision on whether to propose great white sharks for formal protection is expected in June, Shester said.
The population survey, conducted in 2011 and 2012 near the Farallon Islands off central California and Guadalupe Island off Baja, marked the first attempt to determine great white numbers along the California coast.
Scientists consider the West Coast population to be genetically distinct and isolated from other great white populations worldwide, and it is this population that would be protected under state or federal listings, Shester said.
Great whites are thought to number several thousand worldwide, with other major populations found off Australia, South Africa, New Zealand and in the Atlantic.
Australia and South Africa have designated their great whites as endangered, Shester said, and the shark is listed as vulnerable worldwide by the International Union for Conservation of Nature.
While the great white is among three shark species most associated with attacks on humans - along with bull sharks and tiger sharks - such encounters are exceedingly rare.
But great whites hold a special place in the popular imagination due mainly to their size, with some specimens known to have reached 20 feet (6 meters) in length and 5,000 pounds (2,268 kg) in weight.
Feeding on everything from anchovies to seal lions and elephant seals, great white sharks are vital to a healthy, balanced marine environment.
"As apex predators, they play a very important role in the ecosystem," Shester said. "Our oceans would look completely different without white sharks." (Additional reporting and writing by Steve Gorman; Editing by Christopher Wilson)
