Pick of the Press 

 
Each month we receive a masses of information from companies about new products and events. Here is a brief summary from the latest batch; please bear in mind these are just extracts from information we have been sent and we have taken no action to verify any aspects.

This is a press release based on a website address.. Get Me In..that helps you buy tickets to various shows. This is based on all the music we might have heard in our youth, though, so could work well for a nostalgic evening out!

Musical Memories from Bygone Eras

As the old adage goes, you’re as young as you feel! And nothing brings back happy memories better than music, so we’ve picked out some of the top artists and bands whose melodies will take you back to a bygone era- and best of all, many of them are playing live shows over the coming months meaning you can don your glad rags and hit that dance floor like you did in past years…
40s
If you hanker after the big band sounds of the 40s then keep an eye out for Dutch songstress Caro Emerald. She’s trained in jazz and her debut album, titled Deleted Scenes From the Cutting Room Floor is making waves in the charts. She claims her inspiration comes from films and music from the 40s and 50s and her sound will certainly take you back to your local dancehall! This December she’ll be playing a show at the Shepherd’s Bush Empire, London, so book some concert tickets and treat yourself to an early Christmas present!
50s
The Rock and Roll king of the 50s is without a doubt Mr Elvis Presley, and though he’s been dead for 32 years you can still see the man in concert! A selection of Elvis’ original musicians will take to the stage, fronted by live concert footage of Elvis, for a series of performances in March 2012. If you spent the 50s watching the likes of Love Me Tender and Jailhouse Rock and jitterbugging to Elvis’ hits, you’re bound to love it.
If that’s not your thing, you might be interested in German three-piece The Baseballs, who have proved to be very popular all over the continent, with their rockabilly takes on songs by modern artists including Robbie Williams, Leona Lewis and the Scissor Sisters. The Baseballs are currently touring in Europe but get your hands on their album and enjoy the tunes!
60s
The 60s; the era which undoubtedly saw the birth of pop music and Beatlemania! If you spent many a night dancing at the Cavern Club, there’s no better act to take you back than the Bootleg Beatles. This tribute band is the most long running and successful, with the four-piece having done more than 4000 performances worldwide! This December, they’ll be touring the UK, visiting cities from Brighton to Glasgow and, of course, Liverpool.

If Motown was more your thing, look out for tickets for the Four Tops who will be touring with the Temptations next March. Or, if you like a bit more variety, see the Magic of Motown show which will see a range of singers belting out tunes from the Stevie Wonder, Marvin Gaye and much more!

Tickets for all shows mentioned are available at www.GetMeIn.com.

This press release is to help the National Autistic Society. Autism is a lifelong developmental disability that affects how a person communicates with, and relates to, other people. The National Autistic Society is the UK's leading charity for people with autism and their families and provides a wide range of services to help people with autism and Asperger syndrome live their lives with as much independence as possible

Brew up your own FestiviTea Party in aid of autism!

The National Autistic Society (NAS), the UK’s leading charity for people affected by autism, is asking friends, families and colleagues to get together during the festive season and raise money for charity by throwing a ‘FestiviTea Party’. Organising your very own bash couldn’t be easier and requires just three very simple ingredients: tea, cake and friends!

FestiviTea Parties are a chance to roll up your sleeves, don your aprons and bake up a storm with your nearest and dearest, whilst at the same time raising vital funds for the National Autistic Society. You can hold your party anywhere and at anytime. Whether it’s at home, work or out in the local community, you can make your FestiviTea Party as elaborate or as laid back as you like. How you choose to raise the money is also up to you – ask guests to buy tickets, make a donation, or pay for the cakes and biscuits you bake!

Jane Asher, President of The National Autistic Society and famous for her cake baking said: “I love baking, especially at Christmas time, and if you have children FestiviTea is a great activity to get them involved in too. But you don’t have to be an expert baker or spend lots of time putting together your own tea party: you can keep things simple and easy to organise by asking your friends to help out - or by buying ready-made supplies from the shops.”

“This is the time of year when we all like to get together with our loved ones – but it’s also the perfect time to think about helping those who find Christmas celebrations frightening and confusing. FestiviTea lets you do both at the same time: you’ll have fun with family and friends and every penny you raise will go towards helping the half a million people with autism in the UK.”

Last year, FestiviTea Party organisers across the country raised a fantastic £16,000 and this year, we want to get everyone in the Christmas spirit and raise even more. Every penny raised makes a difference and helps ensure that people with autism across the UK have the support they need to live fulfilling and rewarding lives.

We get lots of press releases about health giving products. This could be of interest because as we age, many of us experience problems with joints and these really can affect our everyday life.

Tropical Mangosteen fruit extract offers hope to UK’s 10 million joint pain sufferers

A new advanced joint care supplement containing one of nature’s best kept secrets has launched today, offering a 100 per cent natural choice for the 10 million British adults suffering mild to moderate joint pain[i] in the UK.

FlexiMax from Bioconcepts contains a unique high dose formulation made from dried Mangosteeen (Garcinia mangostana L) called Mangoselect®, which has been shown in initial studies to potentially reduce inflammation and promote joint health[ii].

Mangoselect® is characterized by a unique composition of polyphenols and xanthones – (a- and γ- mangosteen), well known for their antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. In a clinical study, patients suffering joint pain who took Mangoselect® (600 mg /day) for a five day period reported an average 37 per cent reduction in joint pain[iii].

Dr Constantin Dallas, founder of Fytexia who carried out the research said: “In a double blind study of patients suffering arthritic pain and joint inflammation, we found that senior patients experienced a 50 per cent reduction in joint pain, and those suffering sports injuries reported a 31 per cent decrease. On average, patients reported a 37 per cent reduction in joint pain overall. In a further study inflammation was shown to be significantly reduced. For this reason, we believe Mangoselect® offers a unique natural and effective treatment for joint pain[iv].”

The study could mean that for many of the 10 million people who have a daily struggle with joint pain and inflammation there may be a natural alternative to traditional medicines such as NSAIDS (Nonsteriodal anti-inflammatory drugs), which can have side effects that can include damage to the lining of the stomach and intestines when used long term[v].

Chief pharmacist, Krishna Soma of www.chemistdirect.co.uk comments: “With a significant increase in prescriptions for NSAIDS, we are finding that more and more people are demanding a natural alternative. It is important for patients to take action to address such conditions and consider treatments that can help ease their pain and discomfort. Using a 100% natural supplement to support and maintain joint health could potentially help thousands of people in the UK to manage their joint pain. Joint pain management is crucial in order for millions of sufferers to maintain a normal lifestyle, currently muscle and joint pain accounts for half of work absences in Europe[vi].

FlexiMax is available exclusively available from www.chemistdirect.co.uk and priced at £24.95 for 60 capsules. Always read the label.
