The legacy of giving real and vital support to those who are in critical need, suffering, and trying to survive during times of despair fuel the audacity to keep going, continue living, and shining."

CD One Price Cleaners Announces New Storefront Coming to Homewood, Illinois, in Early 2023
OAK BROOK, Ill. - November 18, 2022 - (Newswire.com)
CD One Price Cleaners, Chicago's largest dry cleaning and laundry franchise, has announced the opening of a new store in early 2023, located at 18046 S. Halsted St in the southern suburb of Homewood, Illinois.
When the new store opens, it will be CD One's 37th location in the Chicagoland area and the first One Price dry cleaner in Homewood. It will be owned and operated by Pinakin Patel, owner of the successful CD One Price Cleaners locations in Country Club Hills, Lansing, and Chicago Heights.
"We're very excited to start planning the opening of this new store because it will make our dry cleaning and laundry services more convenient to the residents of Homewood and the nearby communities of Flossmoor, Glenwood, and E. Hazel Crest, as well as the commuters traveling along Halsted road," Pinakin said.
Pinakin added, "As multi-store CD One owners, we've been very happy with our franchise ownership experience with CD One Price Cleaners, and all of our customers in the south suburbs enjoy the value proposition, fast turnaround, and one-price promise of the CD One Price Cleaners business model." Pinakin added, "I have been a multi-unit franchise owner with other brands, but I have been particularly happy with my experience with CD One Price Cleaners, which is why we are opening this new location."
This will be the fifth CD One Price Cleaners location owned by Pinakin Patel. They joined the CD One Price Cleaners system and acquired their first store in the Chicago area in 2016.
Tom Ryan, VP of Franchise Development, said, "We wanted to make our services more convenient to Homewood and its neighboring communities to lessen the drive time to other nearby CD One Price Cleaner stores."
Ryan added, "We are excited to be strengthening our footprint in the South Suburbs with the opening of this new store with experienced operators like Pinakin and his brother Piyush."
In early 2022, the chain announced plans to open 10 new locations in both the urban and suburban markets throughout Chicagoland, bringing the total number of storefronts to 45 across Illinois.
The first CD One Price Cleaners store in the Chicago area opened in Lincolnwood in 2001. Since then, the company has also opened locations in Minneapolis, St. Louis, and Northwest Indiana, expanding its value-driven, one-price model through its network of franchise locations.
The company offers dry cleaning, laundered and pressed shirts, personal laundry wash and fold by the pound, and cleaning household goods like comforters and blankets. Recently, the chain collected and cleaned coats at no charge to benefit the Infant Welfare Society of Chicago.

Super-Infinite: The Transformations of John Donne by Katherine Rundell
Super-Infinite: The Transformations of John Donne by Katherine Rundell has been named winner of the Baillie Gifford Prize for Non-Fiction 2022. The winner was announced by Chair of Judges Caroline Sanderson at a ceremony hosted at the Science Museum and generously supported by The Blavatnik Family Foundation. The announcement was streamed to readers around the world via the Baillie Gifford Prize social media channels.
Super-Infinite: The Transformations of John Donne gives readers a window into the little-known myriad lives the poet John Donne lived. He was a scholar of law, a maritime adventurer, an MP, a priest, the Dean of St Paul's Cathedral - and perhaps the greatest love poet in the history of the English language. Standout scholar Katherine Rundell shows readers the many sides of his life, his obsessions, his blazing words, and his tempestuous Elizabethan times - unveiling Donne as the most remarkable mind and as a lesson in living.
Katherine Rundell is a Fellow of All Souls College, Oxford, where she works on Renaissance literature. Her bestselling books for children have been translated into more than 30 languages and have won multiple awards. Rundell is also the author of a book for adults, Why You Should Read Children's Books, Even Though You Are So Old and Wise. She has written for, among others, the London Review of Books, the Times Literary Supplement, the New York Review of Books and The New York Times, largely about books, though sometimes about animals, night climbing and tightrope walking.
The Baillie Gifford Prize aims to recognise and reward the best of non-fiction and is open to authors of any nationality. It covers all non-fiction in the areas of current affairs, history, politics, science, sport, travel, biography, autobiography and the arts. As the winner, Rundell will receive £50,000 along with the £1,000 given to each of the shortlisted authors. Last year's winner was Patrick Radden Keefe for Empire of Pain, which became a Sunday Times bestseller.
Super-Infinite: The Transformations of John Donne was chosen by this year's judging panel: writer and Associate Editor of The Bookseller, Caroline Sanderson (chair); writer and science journalist, Laura Spinney; critic and writer for The Observer, Rachel Cooke; BBC journalist and presenter, Clive Myrie; author and New Yorker writer, Samanth Subramanian; and critic and broadcaster, Georgina Godwin. Their selection was made from 362 books published between 1 Nov. 2021 and 31 Oct. 2022.

Here’s Why Quality Sleepwear is Important for Good Sleep
MELBOURNE, Australia - November 18, 2022 - (Newswire.com)
Leading a healthy lifestyle doesn't just involve eating right, exercising and reducing stress. Insufficient or poor-quality sleep can result in long-term health consequences. According to Gingerlilly, designer of luxurious women's sleepwear, the right pyjamas can be a game-changer when it comes to getting a good night's sleep.
Gingerlilly says the key to good sleep is comfort, and pyjama fabric is an important consideration. Choosing breathable, natural fabrics that are soft and naturally cooling will help to regulate body temperature throughout the night.
Luxurious fabrics such as silk and linen are super soft and breathable, explains Gingerlilly. These natural fabrics have heat and moisture-wicking properties, making them ideal for hot sleepers.
Breathable fabrics are also important for preventing irritation and bacteria build-up, as well as overall discomfort. Bamboo is a surprisingly soft, naturally cooling fabric that is also hypoallergenic with antibacterial and anti-fungal properties, plus this eco-friendly material is also gorgeously soft to wear, says Gingerlilly.
Some other quality fabrics ideal for inducing a good night's sleep include modal, which is made from the pulp from Beech trees and has a super soft, luxurious feel, while viscose is sustainable and great at absorbing sweat. Sustainable and good for the planet, these highly breathable fabrics keep sleepers cool, dry and comfortable, explains Gingerlilly.
The designer, who ships luxurious women's pyjamas Australia-wide, says there are a few things people should avoid wearing to bed if they want to get a quality sleep. Tight clothing, elastic that's too tight and bras can cause discomfort and trap body heat.
Dead skin cells are shed while sleeping, which, combined with sweat and the body's natural oils, can irritate the skin, disrupting sleep. Gingerlilly points out the importance of regularly washing PJs and steering clear of fragrant detergents and fabric softeners that can trigger allergies or rashes, interfering with sleep.
Known for designing luxurious, chic sleepwear and loungewear, Gingerlilly products are made using sustainable fabrics that provide ultimate comfort for sleeping. To discover the best range of pyjamas Australia-wide, visit Gingerlilly online.
