Sunrise Reputation has announced that they are not only bringing their reputation management services to Aurora, but that they are also introducing a number of new services in the area as well. The company’s new services are designed to be highly customizable in order to deliver quick and effective results.

Aurora, Colorado (PRWEB) July 15, 2014

Sunrise Reputation has announced that they are bringing their famed reputation management services to Aurora as a part of their most recent service expansion. The move has been made in conjunction with other recent service expansions, and the company has been in the process of adding several new service offerings as well. Aurora is benefiting from all of this, as they will now have access to the wide variety of reputation management services that the company now offers in the area.

“We are very excited about our most recent expansion to Aurora,” said Brandon Hopkins of Sunrise Reputation. “This is a new and exciting opportunity for us, but we are more excited at the prospect of being able to help the many fine people and businesses in Aurora who may be in need of our services.”

Sunrise Reputation, a leader in the reputation management industry for many years now, has long emphasized the importance of being proactive with regard to the presence of any negative online information that has any impact on the perception of an individual’s or a company’s reputation. According to Hopkins, the potential negative impact is “staggering,” as financial loss is a very common result of allowing a negative online reputation to linger.

“It is important to realize just how many people gather information online these days, and it is even more important to realize that most people believe everything they read online, regardless of how improbable it may seem,” said Hopkins. “It is often the case that our clients find that there is misleading and inaccurate information available online, and that it is having a significant impact on their business or their livelihood.”

Not only has Sunrise Reputation announced that they will be bringing their reputation management services to Aurora, but they have also indicated that they will be releasing a number of new services that have only recently been created. The new services are designed to be highly customizable in order to provide clients with the most specialized reputation management services possible, thereby improving the outcome of a reputation management campaign while also expediting it as well.

(PRWEB) July 16, 2014

The next episode of “Extreme Weight Loss” Season Four introduces a former competitive gymnast and high school cheerleader from Tulsa, OK. who vowed to do a back handspring every year on her birthday until she turned 60. At her current weight of 315 pounds, however, that feat is impossible.

Featuring a unique, non-competitive approach to weight loss transformations, “Extreme Weight Loss” airs Tuesday, July 22 (8:00-10:00 p.m., ET/PT) on the ABC Television Network.

Georgeanna is the wife of a pastor and the mother of two daughters. Often referred to as “Martha Stewart” by her family and friends, for whom she bakes, decorates, sews and crafts, Georgeanna neglected taking care of herself and is now more than 150 pounds overweight. This episode documents Georgeanna’s year-long physical and emotional journey.

New in Season Four, each “Extreme Weight Loss” participant spends the first 90 days of his or her weight loss journey at the University of Colorado Anschutz Health and Wellness Center (AHWC) in Aurora, CO. Holly Wyatt, MD, medical director for the AHWC, also serves as medical director for the television program and is seen on the show each week helping participants safely lose up to half of their body weight.

Transgender Woman Sues Hobby Lobby To Use Ladies' Bathroom

A transgender woman who has worked at Hobby Lobby for more than 10 years is suing the company for forcing her to use the men’s room until she completes sexual reassignment surgery.

Meggan Sommerville has worked for Hobby Lobby in Aurora, Ill., since 1998. She began her transition in 2009.

Her company health insurance plan paid for her hormone therapy and the store has amended her identity on staff records to recognize her sex. But management won’t budge about her bathroom privileges.

Sommerville, who first filed a complained against the company in 2011, says she was “devastated to learn she couldn’t use the ladies’ room.

“I’m just looking to be treated equally with every other female in the company — not just in the store, but in the company,” Sommerville told Newsweek. “If they recognize me as female for certain things, why can’t they recognize me as female for everything?”

Sommerville says she’s hidden in stalls and waited for others to leave to ensure her privacy.

“Hobby Lobby’s taking the fairly absurd position that in order for Meggan to be able to use the female facilities, she has to undergo reconstructive surgery,” her attorney Jacob Meister told Newsweek.

“I just want to be treated like all the other women,” Sommerville said. “To do anything else diminishes who I am in the eyes of customers and employees.”

She says using the men’s room creates a complicated situation in view of staff and customers who don’t know the whole story of her transition.

In her complaint she accused Hobby Lobby of imposing “unequal terms and conditions” on her because she is transgender.

“I don’t believe that any company has the right to deny access to appropriate medical care, same as the reason why I don’t believe that they have the right to deny me access to the washroom,” she said. “No company has the right to dictate what is decided between me and my doctor.”

She noted that the company has not cited any Christian views as their reason for forcing her to use the men’s lavatory.

“There’s absolutely no support in the law for this, but they are being adamant in trying to create this unlawful rule,” Meister said.

The case is pending before the Illinois Human Rights Commission.
