CONGRATULATIONS PRISMA HEALTH RICHLAND
|
Prisma Health Richland Hospital has received the Huggies® No Baby Unhugged grant – a $10,000 award to support or establish hugging programs, where hospital volunteers hold newborns whose parents may live far away or are unable to visit due to work, child care or other obligations. The hospital is one of eight hospitals awarded funding to boost care for its NICU patients through the grant.
The grant will allow the hospital to purchase more chairs, books and other items that will increase comfort for patients, volunteers and families.
For more than 500,000 of premature babies born in the United States each year, a human touch can have a powerful impact on healthy growth and development.
"Our goal at Prisma Health is to do everything that we can to support our families," said Mollie Ironside, pediatric speech language pathologist, Prisma Health Richland Hospital. “We know that touch is a vital part of caring for each patient and something as simple as a hug helps provide babies with what they need to develop and grow. The hugs given, by our dedicated volunteers, also reduce the burden and stress for families who cannot always be there to cuddle their babies.”
Since the No Baby Unhugged program was initiated in 2016, Huggies has awarded $330,000 in grant funding to hospitals.
The grants have been used to purchase hugging chairs, recruit and train volunteers, and promote the idea of cuddler programs.
"It's not only premature babies who benefit greatly from these hugs in the NICU, but also near- or full-term babies," said Aric Melzl, general manager for Huggies Healthcare. "Hospitals that have received a Huggies' No Baby Unhugged grant have shown that babies receiving hugs continue to develop motor skills and gain weight."

The mechanic or auto technician who is working on your car is essentially a car doctor. You wouldn't go to a doctor who wasn't a licensed MD. So, how can you be sure the car-doctor / auto technician working on your car has the experience, enterprise and skill to be repairing and servicing your vehicle?

THURSDAY
JANUARY 17th, 2019

What a wonderful way to brighten someone’s day or to give credit for a job well done! Give an extra compliment on National Compliment Day which is observed annually on January 24th.
A compliment has a powerful effect. It can instill confidence in a child, or validate someone’s hard work. A compliment not only improves the receiver’s mood, but it also says something about the giver. It tells them you noticed. Whether we recognize someone’s achievement or their classic style, a compliment can go a long way.
|
|
To give a great compliment, first be sincere. People have a way of knowing when we are fake. If you don’t mean it, it’s worse than getting a thoughtless birthday gift.
Complimenting character versus a new haircut are different rewards. The first says you respect the person and the other tells them you paid attention.
Sometimes the receiver needs to hear one or the other, or both.
Human beings like to be unique, original. Strive to compliment what makes a person stand out above the rest.
Take the time to reflect on what you admire about the person.

NATIONAL PEANUT
BUTTER DAY
|
Creamy or chunky, with chocolate or with jelly, peanut butter has been an American staple for generations. National Peanut Butter Day is observed annually on January 24th.
The early peanut butter made by the Aztecs and Incas around 1000 BC was more of a paste and not nearly as creamy as the peanut butter we know now.
Peanut butter didn’t become widely used until the 20th century. First, the peanut had to be considered more than animal feed, which it was until the late 1800s.
At the turn of the century, inventions that made planting, cultivating and harvesting the legume (the peanut isn’t a nut at all) made it possible to see the peanut as a retail and wholesale food item.
Peanut butter is a good source of vitamin E, B6, niacin, calcium, potassium and iron, is packed with protein and is rich in healthy monounsaturated fat.
|
|
We can thank four men for the inventions and processes that bring us the creamy, smooth peanut butter we enjoy today: Marcus Gilmore Edson of
Canada
,
Dr. John Harvey Kellogg, Dr. Ambrose Straub of St. Louis, Missouri and
chemist Joseph Rosefield.
In 1884, Edson developed a process to make peanut paste from milling roasted peanuts between two heated plates. The famous cereal maker and health food specialist of the time, Kellogg, patented a process with raw peanuts in 1895. Dr. Straub is responsible for patenting a peanut butter making machine in 1903.
Peanut butter was introduced to audiences at the 1904 Universal Exposition in St. Louis at C.H. Sumner’s concession stand.
But the man who brought us the peanut butter we know and love today was Joseph Rosefield. In 1922, through homogenization, Rosefield was able to keep peanut oil from separating from the peanut solids. He later sold the patent to a company that began making Peter Pan peanut butter. He went into business for himself selling Skippy peanut butter through Rosefield Packing. He also supplied peanut butter for military rations during World War II.

BEER CAN APPRECIATION DAY
|
Beer Can Appreciation Day recognizes
the great day in 1935 when beer
was first sold in cans.
Credit for the first beverage can goes to the Krueger Brewing Company of Richmond, Virginia. Made of steel and weighing in at almost 4 ounces, these hefty canisters opened with a church key.
The first beer produced in a can goes to Krueger Brewing Company of Richmond, Virginia; however, it was American Can Company that made canning drinkable beer possible.
Krueger’s took the risk with American
Can Company just weeks before the
repeal of Prohibition.
Loyal Krueger’s drinkers favored the can over the bottle 9-1.
|
|
* 1935 -Cone-Top – G. Heilemann Brewing Company – La Crosse, WI – Introduces cone-top cans which fit existing bottling lines convenient for small brewers with small budgets.
* 1963 -Pull Tab – Pittsburgh Brewing Company – Revolutionizes the beer can when it introduces Iron City Beer in self-opening cans with pull tabs, also known as pop tops. With their sharp edges, the pull tabs became the feared litter at beaches, parks, backyards and anywhere beverages were consumed.
* 1975 – Stay Tab- Falls City Brewing Company of Louisville, KY introduces the Stay Tab removing the pull tab’s environmental impact.
This day provides people with the opportunity to enjoy and appreciate the many different kinds of beer cans.
Around the world, collectors seek rare, novel and unique varieties. A collector may have hundreds of beer cans in many different sizes, types and ages.
