More than 100 weight loss seekers responded when the SPRI Products “Better Every Day” Destination Boot Camp scholarship challenge was announced online. The four scholarship winners will spend six days at the CU Anschutz Health and Wellness Center’s Destination Boot Camp learning a science-based approach to weight loss that emphasizes mindset.

Aurora, Colo. (PRWEB) August 20, 2015

More than 100 weight loss seekers responded when the SPRI Products “Better Every Day” Destination Boot Camp scholarship challenge was announced online. Each submitted an emotional five minute video detailing their struggles with weight gain and the reasons they would benefit from attending the destination transformation program at the University of Colorado Anschutz Health and Wellness Center at the Anschutz Medical Campus in Aurora, Colo.

Based on their videos, four have been awarded SPRI scholarships to attend a boot camp session:·     Rickeeta Coakley, Mt. Pleasant, SC
·     Adrienne Ramirez, Del Rio, TX
·     Corey Seiulli, Pleasant Grove, UT
·     Jillian Hansen, Lehi, UT

The scholarship winners will spend six days at the CU Anschutz Health and Wellness Center’s Destination Boot Camp learning a science-based approach to weight loss that emphasizes mindset. They will leave with tools to continue a successful lifestyle transformation at home either on their own or with online support from a transformation coach and their Destination Boot Camp group in Level 2 of the program.

Hansen, a mother of three, was the first to attend boot camp and choked back tears as she explained the impact it had on her. “I feel completely changed,” she said. “I need to do this for my children and now that I have my mind right, I’m confident that I can become healthy and complete my transformation journey.”

Hansen started boot camp weighing 204 pounds and has a goal weight of 135 pounds. She and the other scholarship winners will document their experiences and efforts to transform on multiple social media platforms including Facebook and Twitter at AnschutzWell.

Destination Boot Camp was started in October of 2014 by Holly Wyatt, MD, medical director for both the CU Anschutz Health and Wellness Center and ABC-TV’s “Extreme Weight Loss”. Wyatt is co-author of the book “State of Slim” and teaches the state of slim principles in her weight loss programs which empower weight loss seekers to create their own state of slim no matter where they live.

“We are pleased to help our four motivated scholarship winners attend Dr. Wyatt’s amazing Destination Boot Camp program,” said Jon Graff, SPRI’s director of marketing. “We are looking forward to sharing their stories of triumph and success on social media along the way.”

Additional SPRI “Better Every Day” Destination Boot Camp scholarship contests may be announced in the future. Weight loss seekers are encouraged to check the website for more information about the scholarships and upcoming University of Colorado Anschutz Health and Wellness Center boot camp sessions. The first eight boot camps were a sell-out success.

Denver, Colo. (PRWEB) August 21, 2015

The next episode of “Extreme Weight Loss” Season 5 follows Jackie (266 pounds; Denver, CO) through her emotional battle to overcome the guilt she’s lived with for more than a decade. Her son Hunter was barely a toddler when Jackie received the phone call that shattered her happy and healthy life. The nanny had shaken Hunter, and he’d suffered severe brain damage.

Her journey to reclaim her life, learn to forgive and break out of her downward spiral will be featured on “Extreme Weight Loss” on TUESDAY, AUGUST 25 (9:00-11:00 p.m., ET/PT) on ABC.

After her son was injured, Jackie endured two years of court dates and intense media coverage, as she and her husband fought to put the nanny behind bars. Today, Hunter and Jackie have a special bond, but he continues to suffer from his injuries.

At the core of Jackie’s yearlong transformation is her effort to forgive. She must first forgive herself and then find the courage to forgive the nanny.

Founded in 1984, InventHelp is attempting to submit the TARP N GO to appropriate companies for their consideration and possible feedback.

PITTSBURGH, PA (PRWEB) August 21, 2015

“When I haul items in my truck, I use a tarp to cover and protect them,” said an inventor, from Aurora, Colo. “I grew tired of the struggle and hassle involved with using bungee cords to keep everything in place, so I invented this.” He invented the patent-pending TARP N GO.

The TARP N GO offers a quick and easy way to cover pickup truck loads. In doing so, it eliminates the need to struggle with bungee cords and loose tarps. As a result, it saves time, it offers added convenience and it helps to keep a load safe and stable during transport. The invention features a weatherproof design that is easy to use and remove so it is ideal for pickup truck owners. Additionally, the TARP N GO eliminates the need to permanently modify a truck and it is producible in design variations.

The inventor described the invention design. “My design provides a secure and convenient way to cover, protect and stabilize loads in a pickup truck.”

The original design was submitted to the Denver office of InventHelp. It is currently available for licensing or sale to manufacturers or marketers. For more information, write Dept. 14-DVR-833, InventHelp, 217 Ninth Street, Pittsburgh, PA 15222, or call (412) 288-1300 ext. 1368.

Movie Theater Dilemma: Beefed-Up Security Has Hollywood, Filmgoers on Edge

$

0
Movie theaters are walking a fine line as they step up security in response to the recent deadly attacks at movie theaters in Lafayette, Louisiana and Nashville, Tennessee.

If theaters go too slowly to address safety concerns or wait for the government to act, they could face a massive backlash in the event of another multiplex tragedy. But if they move too quickly, they risk alienating skittish consumers with added security measures that could be expensive, don’t guarantee safety and could even bring added legal liability.

The first signs of retreat came this week when Regal Entertainment Group, the nation’s largest exhibition chain, announced that it would begin checking moviegoers’ bags, purses and backpacks before granting admission.

There are anecdotal reports from theaters with the policy in place, but Regal executives aren’t talking publicly beyond a statement on the company website and signs in theater windows. “We acknowledge that this procedure can cause some inconvenience and that it is not without flaws, but hope these are minor in comparison to increased safety,” the Knoxville, Tenn.-based company said on its website.

Regal rivals AMC Entertainment and Cinemark Theaters, the second- and third-largest theater chains, wouldn’t talk about whether they were considering following Regal’s lead. Even the National Association of Theaters Owners, which typically speaks for the sector, has stayed mum.

“This mustn’t be seen as a Second Amendment issue, or a political question,” Adam Levin, chairman and founder of cyber security firm IDT911, told TheWrap. “It’s literally a matter of life and death, and those involved need to accept their responsibility and work for a collaborative and comprehensive solution.”

Levin cited Universal Pictures’ willingness to pitch in on the cost of heightened security last weekend at theaters screening “Straight Outta Compton,” its biopic of the controversial gangsta rap group N.W.A. “That’s the sort of cooperative effort that this issue is going to require,” he said.

Security experts are uncertain about the effectiveness of Regal’s bag-check policy — especially since it’s unclear how employees are being trained and whether the plan could itself open up the chain to greater legal liability in the event of another tragedy.

In addition, patrons have already suggested that the chain may have an ulterior motive for the policy. “They’re just making sure I don’t bring my own popcorn in,” one bag-checked customer said outside a Regal theater in Boston.

The concern over safety comes at a difficult time for the exhibition industry, which has been squeezed financially despite the fact that this year’s box office grosses are on track to break records.

Whether stepping up security comes by government mandate or competitive industry pressure, any new efforts could prove costly — particularly for smaller, independent theater owners. In addition to the cost of top-line equipment like metal detectors, there are additional challenges in hiring and training staff on screening procedures.

But the industry has been on the defensive since the 2012 massacre at a screening of “The Dark Knight Rises” in Aurora, Colorado, in which James Holmes shot dead 12 people and injured 70 others.

There have been two more deadly incidents this summer: In July, a gunman shot himself to death after killing two people at a screening of “Trainwreck” in Lafayette, La.,  And earlier this month, in Nashville, Tenn., a man was shot and killed in Nashville, Tenn., after he attacked moviegoers with pepper spray and a hatchet.

Of course, many in Hollywood argue that safety concerns are not restricted to multiplexes despite the recent incidents. “This is a public issue,” one studio insider told TheWrap. “Security in public gathering places is a grocery store issue, a school and church and military base issue, as much as it is a movie theater issue.”

One studio executive admitted to feeling some frustration over this situation. “The fact is, we could seal our theaters in steel and concrete, and someone willing to lose everything for their crazy cause could still get in and do horrible things,” he said. Reported by The Wrap 10 hours ago.
