Decorated Family allows friends and families to nominate a person serving in the military. The nominee’s family will then be eligible to be chosen for professional light installation for the holidays. “Decorated Family allows us to give back to the community and recognize those who serve in our military branches,” says Becca Presley, Senske's Director of Marketing.
With Veteran’s Day just a few weeks away, honoring servicemen and women is top of mind for Senske. The company is currently accepting nominations through its Decorated Family page on senske.com. Each nomination should include a name, phone number, address, and email as well as a story explaining the nomination. All nominations are due on November 14th and winners will be chosen on the 16th at 12:00 pm PST.
The Decorated Family program, with help from Christmas Décor, has been in existence for fifteen years. It began when a former Senske branch manager attended a holiday dinner party and thought of all the military members serving overseas who wouldn’t be able to celebrate with their loved ones.
Senske is currently accepting nominations through their Decorated Family page.

As you may know, October is Eczema Awareness Month. The dry, itchy skin condition not only causes physical discomforts, but also affects patients’ mental well-being, causing stress and anxiety. I want to share with you this timely information about a new bacteria-infused lotion that may help millions of Americans who suffer from eczema’s painful symptoms.
For those itching for a cure, researchers at National Jewish Health in Denver are exploring a unique treatment option - fighting bad bacteria which causes eczema with good bacteria that could control it. Patients apply good bacteria to their skin using a lotion with the goal of restoring a healthy balance of bacteria on the the skin to keep eczema symptoms in check.
While more research is needed, allergists and immunologists hope this lotion will eventually become a long-term solution for people with eczema.
Author Kerry Susan Drake releases a collection of inspirational prose and poetry
MELBOURNE, Australia – Established author Kerry Susan Drake brings forth a collection of prose and poetry, “Family, Faith and Freedom” (published by AuthorHouse UK), that highlights the importance of family, faith and freedom in a prosperous civilization.
“The family is still our most important model for civilization, and in the modern world, it is under threat. Faith is still a part of meeting the needs of civilized groups. Freedom can only be achieved if there are healthy motivations in civilization,” Drake explains.
In a rapidly changing world, social manners and civility are declining. Drake offers messages of encouragement to magnify the optimum in all people, and create a ripple effect for a positive change.
“I hope people enjoy uplifting stories, as this is my focus and like to express hope in all life situations. A positive and spiritual approach to life matters,” Drake concludes.
“Family, Faith and Freedom”

(DENVER, Colorado) – Eczema is the most common skin condition worldwide. Without effective treatment options, patients must often suffer a lifetime of painful, itchy skin. In a new clinical trial, researchers at National Jewish Health are exploring a surprising new approach – fighting bacteria with more bacteria.
It may seem counterintuitive to apply bacteria to skin that is frequently plagued by bacterial infections, but the hope is that by applying good bacteria in a lotion to eczema patients’ skin, a healthy bacterial balance will be restored. “The beneficial bacteria actually make natural antibiotics that kill staph aureus, the bad bacteria on the skin,” said Donald Leung, MD, head of the Division of Pediatric Allergy & Immunology at National Jewish Health. “We know that eczema patients don’t have the good bacteria on their skin that’s needed to kill staph aureus.”
Patients apply the bacteria-infused lotion twice a day. Researchers are then able to analyze patients’ skin DNA to see if the bad bacteria have been reduced. “The goal is that we eliminate the bad bacteria on their skin altogether,” said Leung. “The cream helps to restore the natural balance of bacteria on the skin, which will help create the barrier skin has to keep harmful bacteria out.”
Leung says more research is needed, but the hope is that this will clear the skin of eczema patients, and ultimately lead to a long-term solution for those who suffer from eczema.

ExcelinEd Releases Report Identifying Significant Course Access Gaps Nationwide
Regardless of where a school is located and how well it is performing, students who work hard should still be able to graduate ready to succeed in college and the workforce, right? Unfortunately, the answer is “no” for millions of students nationwide.
Today, ExcelinEd published College and Career Pathways: Equity and Access, a first-of-its-kind report identifying significant gaps nationwide in high school students’ access to college and career preparation courses.
For example, not a single state offers Algebra I or Biology in all high schools. Additionally, the data reveal a disturbing pattern of inequity: as the percentage of minority or low-income populations in schools increases, access to core courses decreases.
