Australia, 6th May 2025,
 

The Chrysalis BREW Project has released the list of recipients for the BREW Nonfiction Book Excellence Award 2025. This recognition is given to works of nonfiction assessed on merit in storytelling, clarity, research, and contribution to their respective categories.

Five titles were selected, each representing a different nonfiction area. The categories are Memoir, Health and Wellness, Animals, Autobiography, and Trauma and Recovery.

In the Memoir category, Every Other Weekend by Anthony J. Mohr was selected. According to the BREW Project review, “Mohr writes with perspective, humour, and sensitivity” and “manages to explore his life with clarity and restraint.”

Billy Peterson’s From the Starting Gate received recognition in the Wellness category. As noted in the review, the book “shares his story of recovery and self-discovery, weaving in the powerful role of horses” and “does not sanitise his struggle.”

In the Animal category, Helena Telkänranta’s The Mind of a Horse was recognised. The review described the work as “a science-based yet accessible explanation of how horses think, feel, and respond” and stated that “the research is presented in a way that is understandable to a general audience.”

Lois Young’s Along Came Hell, or So I Thought was selected for the Trauma and Recovery category. As noted in the official review, “Young revisits a traumatic past with a raw and grounded approach” and “documents the process of facing personal history.”

Blue Sky Scrubs Honors Nurses Week with 20 Percent Off All Products and a Commitment to Giving Back

Published

on

United States, 6th May 2025, – In celebration of National Nurses Week, Blue Sky Scrubs, the Austin-based designer medical apparel brand, is proud to announce a special promotion honoring nurses and healthcare professionals everywhere. From May 6–12, all customers will receive 20% off all Blue Sky Scrubs products—no exclusions, no minimum purchase required. This exclusive offer is a heartfelt thank you to the medical heroes who work tirelessly to keep communities safe, healthy, and cared for.

For over 20 years, Blue Sky Scrubs has designed, manufactured, and distributed luxury medical clothing, including handcrafted scrub caps and scrubs, from its headquarters in Austin, Texas. Known for blending style with functionality, the company is deeply rooted in service and gratitude, especially when it comes to recognizing nurses—the backbone of healthcare.

“National Nurses Week is more than a calendar event—it’s a chance to truly honor the people who show up every day with compassion, strength, and selflessness,” said Shelby Marquardt, founder and chief designer of Blue Sky Scrubs. “Our mission has always been to support healthcare professionals, not just with the best-fitting scrubs, but with meaningful gestures that show we care.”

Blue Sky Scrubs Honors Nurses Week with 20 Percent Off All Products and a Commitment to Giving Back

A Week of Style, Savings, and Support

During Nurses Week, Blue Sky Scrubs is rolling out a sitewide 20% discount, valid on all products—including their best-selling scrub caps, performance stretch scrubs, lab coats, loungewear, and accessories. The discount will be automatically applied at checkout on the company’s website, ensuring a seamless shopping experience for busy healthcare workers who deserve a wardrobe refresh.

“Our scrubs are built for long shifts and tough days,” added Marquardt. “But just as importantly, they’re designed to make nurses feel confident, stylish, and valued—because they are.”

Giving Back to Healthcare Communities

In keeping with its legacy of social responsibility, Blue Sky Scrubs is also using Nurses Week as a platform to give back to communities in need. As part of the celebration, the company has pledged to donate scrubs and caps to nonprofit medical missions, nursing school programs, and community clinics across the U.S. and abroad.

Earlier this year, Blue Sky Scrubs supported multiple humanitarian trips to underserved regions by donating apparel to nurses and doctors serving on the front lines in countries such as Honduras, Kenya, and the Dominican Republic. Now, during Nurses Week, the company is expanding its reach by identifying new partners to help equip and uplift even more healthcare workers.

“Every nurse deserves to feel appreciated, no matter where they serve,” said Marquardt. “By outfitting mission teams and educational programs, we hope to spread a message of unity, generosity, and global compassion.”

Healthcare organizations and individuals interested in nominating a clinic or nursing program for donations can do so directly on the Blue Sky Scrubs website. The company will be spotlighting select stories throughout Nurses Week on its social media channels to share the impact these caregivers make.

A History of Heart

Since its founding, Blue Sky Scrubs has always stood for more than clothing. The company was created by Marquardt, a former anesthesiology resident, who couldn’t find scrub caps that combined professionalism with personal style. What began as a side project quickly grew into a national brand—one that now serves hospitals, clinics, and individual healthcare providers across the country and around the globe.

In addition to premium products, Blue Sky Scrubs is known for its commitment to craftsmanship—with each item being handmade using top-quality fabrics, durable stitching, and fashion-forward design. The company is also committed to sustainability, reducing textile waste in manufacturing and using recyclable packaging whenever possible.

“Being a healthcare professional means making sacrifices daily,” Marquardt added. “At Blue Sky, we want to be a part of lifting those professionals up—not just during Nurses Week, but every day of the year.”

Join the Celebration

To participate in the 20% Nurses Week discount, customers simply need to shop at www.blueskyscrubs.com between May 6–12, 2025. No code is necessary—the discount will be applied automatically at checkout. The promotion is open to all customers, whether purchasing for themselves, coworkers, or loved ones in healthcare.

Throughout the week, Blue Sky Scrubs will also be highlighting nurses’ stories and hosting giveaways on Instagram and TikTok. Followers are encouraged to tag their favorite nurse or post a video describing how a nurse has made a difference in their life, using the hashtag #ThankYouNurses. Select participants will win free scrub caps or gift cards as part of the celebration.

About Blue Sky Scrubs

For more than two decades, the company has designed and handcrafted high-quality scrubs, scrub caps, lab coats, and accessories for medical professionals across the U.S. and abroad.

The AI-powered lead generation and appointment solution delivers hands-free, exclusive, high-quality leads for unmatched efficiency and growth.

AUTOROOFSCALE Launches AI-Powered Lead Generation System, Setting a New Standard in Roofing Appointments

United States, 6th May 2025 – AUTOROOFSCALE, a top marketing partner for roofers in the USA, is excited to announce the launch of its AI-powered lead generation and appointment system, specifically designed to deliver exclusive, qualified roofing leads on autopilot. This breakthrough system allows roofing contractors to consistently book 15–20 qualified appointments per month – without the stress of chasing leads or cold calling.

As a rising leader in marketing for roofing companies, AUTOROOFSCALE helps contractors focus on what they do best — closing deals and serving customers — while the system handles everything else. The AI-driven solution represents a major milestone in the company’s mission to drive predictable growth for roofers across the country.

“Our automated lead nurturing approach is changing the game for roofing businesses,” said Panos Apostolidis, founder of AUTOROOFSCALE. “We’re taking the guesswork, wasted time, and stress out of lead generation, and replacing it with something that actually works — all on autopilot.”

Panos emphasized how AI is central to the system’s success. It powers the entire lead generation and appointment process, from running ads on Facebook and Instagram to qualifying leads and scheduling in-home estimates. Roofers get connected only with real, ready-to-book homeowners looking for roofing services.

“Our goal with AUTOROOFSCALE is simple: bring roofers high-quality leads automatically — and help them grow without lifting a finger,” Panos added.

AUTOROOFSCALE’s system handles everything, including identifying the right audience, capturing interest, nurturing leads through automation, and booking appointments straight into the roofer’s calendar. It’s a full-service, done-for-you growth system that sets a new benchmark in roofing lead generation.

One standout feature is AUTOROOFSCALE’s one-roofer-per-area exclusivity model, ensuring that each roofer gets 100% exclusive leads in their claimed territory. Plus, the system runs on a pay-on-results basis — roofers only invest after seeing real, booked appointments.

“We’re not just selling leads — we’re building pipelines,” said Panos. “This is about making growth predictable and scalable for roofers across the US.”

AUTOROOFSCALE brings deep experience in roofing lead generation, drawing on tested advertising strategies and advanced automation to deliver consistent results. Now, with AI at the core, the system is giving roofers the confidence to scale without spending more time or effort.

To showcase the system’s full potential, AUTOROOFSCALE is offering roofing contractors a free consultation call with $1500 in value. During this call, roofers will get a no-pressure walkthrough of how the AI system consistently books 15–20 qualified appointments per month — and how it’s transforming roofing businesses nationwide.
