An independent Stroud funeral director who provides funeral services throughout Gloucestershire and Wiltshire is urging local crematoria to install online filming and recording facilities in their chapels to enable family members, who cannot attend, the chance to pay their respects.

The system involves a small camera at the back of the chapel, linked to the internet so it streams the proceedings live online. The ‘livetime’ funeral can also be recorded onto a DVD as a permanent record of the event.

The innovative step is the brainchild of James Showers, of Family Tree Funeral Company, who said: “With families increasingly scattered, separated by distance, by busy schedules or just the sheer inability to travel, such as our troops in Afghanistan and Iraq, this technology makes it possible to gather scattered mourners into one community and enable them to attend.”

The idea has so far received positive reactions and pioneer James continues: “I believe we have a duty to identify and embrace new ideas if they serve a family looking to give their loved-one a more personal and meaningful farewell.”

The service which would bring funeral arrangements in to the 21^st Century would cost around £50 and security of online viewing would be kept completely in the hands of the family concerned as they would be provided with passwords to access the funeral from their computers.

Crematoria who have been contacted so far include: Westerleigh Crematorium,Yew Tree Brake in the Forest of Dean, Kingsdown Crematorium in Swindon, Gloucester Crematorium, and Cheltenham. Of these, only Westerleigh has the Wesley Music System, upon whose technology the live streaming of funerals across the worldwide web depends.

James concludes: “While funeral professionals are a pretty conservative lot, I believe we’d all agree we should do our best not to leave anyone out if the technology is there to include them.”

About: James Showers is the owner of Family Tree Funeral Company, who provide funeral assistance throughout Gloucestershire and Wiltshire. You can visit their website at www.FamilyTreeFunerals.co.uk.

Ft. Worth, TX ( Prfriend ) May 1, 2010 – Falling standards of mental health in students of Universities in the state of Texas are causing increased pressure on Ft Worth counseling organizations such as ‘LifeWorks Group P.A’. Universities and Ft Worth psychotherapist groups are reporting high numbers of young adults who suffer with depression, anxiety and other mental disorders.

According to the University of Texas in Dallas, there has been a 32% increase in the number of their students seeking counseling over the past half a decade. This is not simply due to an increase in the number of students either, as enrollment growth reached just 8.9%. Luckily for these students, LifeWorks Group P.A offers uniquely creative Ft Worth counseling services, covering a huge range of problems, from family counseling and parenting issues, to chemical dependency, depression, anxiety and eating disorders.

“Every Ft Worth counselor at LifeWorks has a creative background that they apply to their work.” says a counselor at Lifeworks Counseling. “No case is ever the same as another, so using a musical, theatrical or artistic approach for each helps to treat people as individuals, rather than as products of their disorder or type of problem.”

LifeWorks Group P.A was established in Dallas, Fort Worth in early 2000 where it soon recruited an open-minded and creatively led Ft Worth counseling team. By employing a different approach to therapy – such as working with more than one counselor at a time, introducing animals and celebrating when someone makes a breakthrough – the number of visitors they had began to increase.

Today, each Ft Worth psychotherapist at LifeWorks Group P.A finds themselves almost overwhelmed by the number of young adults and in particular college and university students coming through their doors. Yet due to their creative and somewhat unusual approach to what can be a dark and terrifying experience, LifeWorks’ Ft Worth counseling services seem to work very well with this young and troubled age group.

Kansas City, Missouri October 15, 2009— Now entering its second year, USARiseUp.com is building a strong community and Internet presence that encourages debate and discussion about race relations, ethnic customs, and cultural identity.

Based out of Kansas City, Missouri, USARiseUp.com offers readers the opportunity to talk about culture, submit topics, and share stories of life in America and all over the world. It focuses heavily on comparing the state of the US racial landscape, looking at different sections of the country and even outside the country for eye-opening comparisons and discussion.

The website’s writers and overall tone is extremely open-minded, though no punches are pulled and the ugly reality of cultural prejudice is presented with honesty. Blogs and articles are used to examine why prejudices among ethnic groups exist, how to combat them, and how racial issues divide the United States while bringing its people together. It’s also a place to share and enrich one’s cultural values with a wide range of readers. Multiethnic society, multi ethnic community, and multicultural perspective are other major themes of USARiseUp.com.

“The website is not intended to make people angry or promote any intense prejudices,” a representative for USARiseUp.com said. “We’re looking to do the opposite. If people have a place on the web to go where they can communicate about the differences between cultures, races, and ethnic groups, that will lead to better communication and in turn a better, more respectful, and more open-minded society. People want to understand each other, and we’re hoping to help with that.”

Cultural development is a big theme of USARiseUp.com. Each post deals with a different issue, very often from a different perspective, as readers and staff debate or simply discuss topics, values, and ways that individuals and communities can promote communication about topics that can sometimes get very heated.

Unique perspectives are presented daily on the website from dozens of different writers of different cultural backgrounds, and its growing reader base is invited to contribute topics and discussion to conversation@usariseup.com.

About RiseUp: USARiseUp.com was formed the summer of 2008, a weekly print publication, arrived on a crowded media stage, chock-a-block with dailies, weeklies and magazines. Its focus was race—a “beat” often overlooked by the mainstream press—and it promised to offer a fresh take on it. It appeared as an insert in 12 papers including the New York Daily News, Chicago Tribune, Washington Post, Kansas City Star and St. Louis Post-Dispatch, among others. Despite an overwhelming response and a circulation of 4 million, a few issues later, a cash crunch forced it to disappear. A year (and many teardrops) later, in May 2009, it reappeared—as USARiseUp.

USARiseUp, the digital offspring of RiseUp, is an online magazine about race and ethnicity that celebrates people of different cultures and color. Its physical home is located in the American heartland, in Kansas City, Missouri.

For more information, visit their website at http://www.USARiseUp.com, or contact usariseup.com at 4435 Main Street, Suite 920, Kansas City, MO 64111, by telephone at 1-816-561-5200.

Lodi, CA ( Prfriend ) September 11, 2009 – The concept of the free online people search started with the main goal of helping people find lost contacts. The basic idea of helping people connect has propelled the online people search concept to great importance in social media. Nowadays with the numerous success stories about businesses using social networks in their promotion strategy, savvy online marketers are using this free people search as a tool for growing their business by finding and verifying new contacts.

We had a chat with one of the best free people search service providers to find out more details about this new trend in business promotion. “The free people search concept was mainly developed to find lost friends and relatives. Unlike the old days, when people were limited in the tools they had to find long lost friends, today, the free people search service is the first stop in a long line of easy and effective tools. Most savvy online marketers use every available opportunity to connect with people as a tool for business promotion. That is one reason behind the huge success of the use of social networking in business promotion. Now with readily available access to the contact details of potential clients for their business, online marketers are swarming towards the free people search services.” says Mr. JD Angel of searchnoggin.com.

Speaking about the benefits that the online marketer can get through the use free people search services, Mr. JD Angel said, “Unlike the common white pages, the free people search option will help marketers to get targeted clients. For example if you have a local business in Atlanta, you can narrow the people search to this location and refine from there. You will be presented with a large contact list of people, in that particular area, that you can narrow down. Actually this is one of the easiest ways to expand the client base for any type of business. Although the free people search utility was not originally meant for business promotion, this concept is growing in popularity as a great business promotion tool.”

Speaking on the move, Mr. JD Angel said, “This shift in using free people search as a great business promotion tool has certainly taken this concept to the next level. Each month people search is being improved with more search and networking features.”
