The trademark protected "SHATTERED HEART™" is a custom-made work of art that symbolizes the real and tragic effects of our current, ineffective gun policies. CEO and founder, Mr. Elliot Fineman, who lost his son to a senseless act of gun violence, announced the release of this symbol today. It is his hope that all Americans affected by, or who are concerned about, the epidemic of unchecked gun violence in this country could have something to express their loss, and their commitment to change.

The U.S. preterm birth rate dropped for the fifth consecutive year in 2011 to 11.7 percent, the lowest in a decade, giving thousands more babies a healthy start in life and saving billions in health and social costs.
“These results demonstrate that many premature births can be prevented with the right policies and bold leadership,” said March of Dimes President Dr. Jennifer L. Howse. “Our national progress in reducing premature births over the past five years shows that when infant health becomes a priority, babies benefit. We must implement proven interventions and accelerate our investment in new research to prevent preterm birth so one day every baby will get a healthy start in life.”

One in 10 working people surveyed in Europe have taken time off work because of depression, with an average of 36 days lost per episode of depression, according to a new survey from the European Depression Association. This equates to more than 21,000 days of lost working time in this group of people. However despite the size of the problem, nearly one in three managers reported they had no formal support or resources to deal with employees who have depression, and 43% called for better policies and legislation to protect employees.

U.S. insurance consumers want their insurers to offer more personalized service and reward customer loyalty, according to Ernst & Young’s Global Consumer Insurance Survey 2012. The survey also finds that consumers of life/annuity and property/casualty policies are willing to buy multiple products from the same carrier if they are tailored to meet their individual needs, and that Millennials believe the strength and health of an insurer’s brand is more important than the price of the insurance product.

Baby boomers appear to be taking a second look at their life insurance policies as an alternative financial solution to paying for retirement. Retirees can sell an unneeded life insurance policy for a portion of the face amount. These transactions, known as life settlements, have become mainstream in the past several years, particularly as baby boomers begin exploring all financial options to paying for retirement, including previously unconventional alternatives.

The labour market shortfall caused by the decline in Europe’s population and workforce will not be offset by increasing immigration levels nor by higher fertility and productivity rates, delegates will be told at the Opening Conference of the 2012 European Year of Active Ageing and Solidarity between Generations in Copenhagen on 18 January. The only way forward, according to Eurofound, the EU-agency charged with providing European social policymakers with comparative socio-economic research data and findings, is more active and inclusive employment policies – as well as a change to the general mind-set – to extend working life.

How to adopt a baby - Ebook
The laws and policies which regulate who are actually able to adopt a child will vary from state to state, as well as from agency to agency. But there are certain requirements that almost all adoption agencies will be looking at when they talk to those people who would like to adopt a baby.
What is important to know, however, is that, although the provisions required by laws in each state can not be either changed or ignored. But there are very few, if any, requirements or rules which are not inflexible.
However, if you do find yourself during the adoption process having problems with a particular rule or guideline, then it might be advisable if you can see if that particular one can be waived.
You may be surprised that there are certain exceptions where this can occur, if the circumstances are right, or the right people have asked for it to be waived.
Although you may think that you have the right to adopt, this is simply just not the case. No one in today’s society has the absolute right to adopt a child, and can only do so after they have met certain criteria that both the adoption agencies and the government place.
It is therefore important that any prospective people wishing to adopt a baby should carry out as much research as possible on the subject. Learn everything about the rules, regulations and guidelines that can be imposed upon prospective adoptive parents by the various adoption agencies.
In this book, we will be taking you through the basics of what is required in order for a couple or single person to become an adoptive parent.
