82 Year Old Diva has Life Changing Message on Life, Love and Relationships

Amelie Diamant Holmstrom speaks candidly in her 3 part book series, Courtship of Life, providing a challenge to all to effectively understand and use the power of good choices to improve life, love and relationships.

Alvin, TX (PRWEB) May 31, 2010

Amelie Diamant-Holmstrom is not your typical grandmother. At 82 years old, she can still strike a ballet pose standing on one leg and glide about as in the days when she was a young ballerina at the Vienna Opera House in Austria. She's stylish, elegant, wears high end clothes, spike heel boots and models. Yes, models for EGO Originals and upscale designer company for the Hollywood crowd. Her strut on the catwalk could even impress Tyra Banks. When asked where all that vitality originates she says she has learned to prioritize life, "I need health, love, humor and money, and I need them all in that order, blessed with spirituality."

While other grandmothers have settled for retirement and a rocking chair, Holmstrom has spent the last few years of her life becoming an author, life coach, and documenting the philosophies she has lived by which have kept her healthy, happy, and striving in a 3 part book series called, Courtship of Life (www. courtshipoflife. com). Where the underlying message is that if we pursue life with the same intensity that we pursue a lover, things will change for the better. Life needs to be pursued. Her mission - to inspire the world by putting "civility back into civilization." Join her - http://www. youtube. com/watch? v=EEEAmgx79ec (http://www. youtube. com/watch? v=EEEAmgx79ec)

Her series has a lot to say about relationship problems, especially in light of the breaking news that plague people like Tiger Woods, Senator Edwards and the break down of Sandra Bullock's marriage to Jessie James. According to Holmstrom, "within each of us lies a little jerk and a big magician. We need to understand and dismiss the little jerk (which she believes is responsible for the problems of life) and court the big magician." She firmly believes that many of life's calamities could all be avoided by people understanding and using the power of making good choices. Her books, Conversations with Thomas, Destined for Greatness and Yes I Can, all speak on delivering that message to family, the educational system, and those pursuing dreams and trying to find purpose in life. Holmstrom's series is encouraging and inspirational.

Former US Senator Mark O. Hatfield writes these books are for "...anyone seeking a richer, more meaningful life and who understands that the future of world peace begins as the generous interaction of each individual with himself and those around him." Retired Brigadier General Fred M. Rosenbaum states, "I would strongly recommend Ms. Diamant-Holmstrom's well written trilogy to all who seek intelligence and education..."

Holmstrom is a holocaust survivor who saw first hand the destructive nature of bad choices on a global scale. Her father lost 11 siblings in concentration camps and despite that deep tragedy, taught his family not to hate, but to make wise choices and bring good to humanity. This strong foundation guided her throughout life and the Courtship of Life series encapsulates the philosophies that have helped her to "inspire the world" in her own way. She has done this through 40 years of teaching in the educational system in high school and the University of Washington, through helping the poor, raising funds for communities to make improvements, working along with her husband ( now deceased) Judge Holmstrom to impact wayward youth, and using her concepts of developing a quality life through correct choice. "If you do the right thing, at the right time, for the right reason - you can't go wrong."

Mrs. Holmstrom is encouraging the media and others to help spread her life changing message of empowerment. Holmstrom is also a proud recipient of the Stanford University Who's Who award. She strongly believes that is it only when relationships are strong that society can truly survive and prosper, and that too many destructive elements are tearing away family structure that is so critical to the next generation. That must end. To those who have had the very unfortunate experience of having their lives face woe she states, " It's okay to fall apart, but not for too long."

Mrs. Holmstrom has lived a very full life and given much to society. Her sisters are Dr. Evelyn Strange and Marianne Sheckler-Feder. Each of them in their own way has carried their father's message and their mother's artistic influence to the lives of others. They all strive to make the world a better place.

Mrs. Holmstrom is available for interviews and speaking engagements. Her books are available at www. courtshipoflife. com.

SAMSA Enhances Internet Marketing Services and Offers Free Website Marketing Evaluation

SAMSA Enhances Internet Marketing Services and Offers Free Website Marketing Evaluation.

SAMSA is offering improved Internet marketing services to help promote small and medium size businesses. SAMSA is offering free evaluations to showcase these improved services, and educate clients on how to increase exposure on the web.

(PRWEB) May 20, 2004

System and Market Services of America (SAMSA) in Saginaw, Michigan is proud to offer new and improved Internet marketing services for websites on both a statewide and national level. SAMSA’s improved services will include search engine optimization for websites to improve their site ranking in “natural” listings, and pay-per-click management on Google Adwords and Overture. These services will help to improve the overall exposure of a business website, and the return on investment that is lacking with many current sites.

The new Internet Marketing services will be led by Website Marketing Specialist Todd Malicoat. Todd completed a dual-bachelors degree program in Management Information Systems/ Business Administration from Northwood University in the summer of Â’03 after completing his thesis turned e-book on Planning, Developing, and Promoting a Successful Website for Small Business. Todd is also the Vice President of the Great Lakes Web Professionals and is a moderator of the "Professional Webmaster Business Issues Forum" at the premier Internet Marketing forum on the Internet: Webmasterworld. com (under the alias stuntdubl). Webmasterworld is world-renowned for helping individual webmasters interested in Internet subjects such as search engine optimization, programming, design, and much, much more.

“Many small to medium sized business owners have no idea that this technology exists,” Todd says. “They are busy working hard on running their business, and advertise only in traditional mediums. The new avenues that the Internet offers are now providing very measurable and lucrative results for those who have embraced it.” The new SAMSA Internet marketing services are designed to help small business owners find high returns on their advertising budgets. Localized targeting is finally making advertising on the web for small businesses a real solution for attracting new customers. 

SAMSA has been responsible for creating several dozen websites over the past few years including www.4vehicleaccessories. com, www. localareaguide. com, www. myklc. com, and many more. “Many of our clients are experimenting with our new services, and have been very pleased with the results,” says President Mike Stackhouse. “We are also attracting many new customers whose sites have lain stagnant because they were designed and built but never marketed.”

There are many untruths in the world of Internet marketing, and SAMSA is trying to improve this situation by educating clients. For example, there is no sense in submitting a website multiple times to 10,000 search engines when there is really just a handful that will provide a site with meaningful traffic. SAMSA search engine optimization and pay-per-click management services are designed to educate a client to grasp the concepts and benefits of Internet marketing. SAMSA will be offering a free feasibility study for the next 30 days to showcase these new services to prospective clients. This study will include a brief overview of how a site stacks up to the competition, and what options are available for improved exposure.

Travers Lasik Wants To Make Sure Patients Know About Flex Spending Accounts

Travers Lasik Wants To Make Sure Patients Know About Flex Spending Accounts

As the year comes to a close and with only a few weeks left to use flex spending, Travers Lasik Vision Care wants to remind patients about the money they can save with their flex spending accounts.

Raleigh, NC (PRWEB) December 20, 2010

Dr. Lori Travers and her staff at Travers Lasik Vision Care would like to remind those who have been thinking about LASIK vision correction that they can apply their flex spending accounts to the procedure.

Many employers provide Flexible Spending Account Plans (FSA) that allows their employees to deduct a percentage of his/her paycheck and use that money to pay for eligible medical expenses on a pre-tax basis. For medical procedures that will likely not be reimbursed by regular health insurance plans, the option to use an FSA is one that can save money for a procedure such as LASIK. 

To find out more about using an FSA, and to learn if your company offers FSAs, speak with your company’s human resources department or manager of benefits.

Travers Lasik Vision Care wants their prospective patients to know the importance of planning a flex spending account appropriately and determining how much money to allocate to an FSA. Dr. Lori Travers and her staff are available to answer your questions and help you achieve the best vision possible.

To set-up a free Lasik consultation or to find out more about using your flex spending account this holiday season with Travers Lasik Vision Care, call toll-free at (888) 747-6808 or visit the website online at http://www. TraversLasik. com.

YoNaturals Combines Healthy Natural Foods, Nutrition Education, Social Responsibility and Entrepreneurial Opportunity to Build Nationwide Network of Healthy Vending Machines

YoNaturals Combines Healthy Natural Foods, Nutrition Education, Social Responsibility and Entrepreneurial Opportunity to Build Nationwide Network of Healthy Vending Machines

YoNaturals in San Diego, CA is creating a nationwide network of healthy vending machines, featuring the same healthy snacks and beverages you'll find in your local health food store such as Whole Foods Market or Wild Oats.

San Diego, CA (PRWEB) February 14, 2007

Healthy natural foods are coming to a vending machine near you. YoNaturals in San Diego, CA is creating a nationwide network of healthy vending machines, featuring the same healthy snacks and beverages you'll find in your local health food store such as Whole Foods Market or Wild Oats.

YoNaturals (www. yonaturals. com) is positioned to transform the vending machine industry from "one of the least healthy industries in the US" to "a leader in consumer health and wellness"

It seems they have some pretty powerful help.

Dr. Roy Vartabedian, the New York Times best-selling author of Nutripoints, is its nutritional advisor and product consultant. He is a leading expert in providing health/wellness programs to schools, corporations, hospitals and physicians nationwide

"Having Dr. Roy join us in the fight against junk food in vending machines is significant because his expertise in developing nutritional programs is second to none." Says YoNaturals CEO Mark Trotter, himself a veteran in the vending machine industry.

Dr. Vartabedian says, "The timing to get into this business couldn't be better. People are seeking better choices in their diets, and healthy snacks and beverages are the fastest-growing product segments in the food industry."

The company's focus is in four primary areas:

1) Nutritional education. YoNaturals CEO Mark Trotter says "Our web site (www. yonaturals. com) features a complete mini-course in healthy nutrition that's simple and easy to follow. It includes eating guidelines, portion calculators, and menu plans. Every product we carry has been specially selected based on taste and nutritional content and scores high on Dr. Roy's Nutripoints system."

2) Social responsibility. Vending, which is not regulated by the USDA, is in need of critical change in order to head off the current crisis in public health. A 2004 survey done by the Center for Science in the Public Interest found that an estimated 75 percent of vending machines are filled with junk food…a problem that may be to blame for an increase in obesity, diabetes and other health problems on the rise. It is particularly critical in the public schools. However, evidence indicates change is possible - and imminent. "People have this idea that kids won't eat healthy foods," said Margo Wootan, The Director of Nutrition policy at the Center for Science in the Public Interest. "If you offer children good tasting healthy choices they will eat them." The YoNaturals website offers practical action steps any teacher, parent, student or school system can take in order to uphold their civic responsibility to maintain and foster public health.

3) Vending machines. YoNaturals healthy vending machines are appearing in places like shopping malls, corporate offices, retail stores, schools and military bases all over the country. "The response has been overwhelming," says YoNaturals CEO Mark Trotter, "but we are well able to keep up with the demand. We can install a vending machine anywhere within six weeks."

4) Entrepreneurial opportunity. YoNaturals offer distributorships to qualified business people. CEO Mark Trotter says "We are joining forces with entrepreneurs - or aspiring entrepreneurs - with a passion for healthy and natural foods. We can easily train them to be successful vending machine operators - that's the easy part. We have a comprehensive program featuring state-of-the-art Healthy Vending Machines complete with 24/7 monitoring software, cashless payment systems for credit and debit cards, and complete food & beverage distribution service that covers virtually the entire USA."

Four Moms Inspired a Last Minute Gift Designed for Dad Boomers and Retirees

Four Moms Inspired a Last Minute Gift Designed for Dad Boomers and Retirees

Http://www. secondhalfPLAYBOOK. com helps dad keep in step with family and the web

Sarasota, FL (PRWEB) December 22, 2010

In the current internet world, older Dads are gradually losing the ability to stay connected with their children and grandkids. With age, Dads expect the world to become simpler, but the internet has made it more complicated. Also adding to their frustration are smart phones. Even if Dads were proficient typist, the small keyboards just don’t work with their big thumbs.

Here’s the story of how four moms influence their Dad to develop a new internet model for Dad Boomers and Retirees to keep connected and make the most out of life.

According to John Montelione, founder of http://www. secondhalfPLAYBOOK, “My four daughters have given my wife and me four highly active grandsons.” Like most families, his is spread out with daughters living in San Francisco and Boston, while he and his wife reside in Florida. To keep connected, they occasionally visit, but on a weekly basis fathers are expected to participate in internet “fun.” Daughters usually want their Dads to do a multitude of complex activities like sending and receiving emails and text messages, and finding videos and pictures on You Tube and Flickr. The only relief comes from teenage grandkids, who make grandparents promise never to join Facebook, write on their wall, or post pictures of them diapers.

Finding information can also be a pain in the butt. Even when educated on Google, Yahoo and Ask, men find that the sites just don’t hack it. Every time a man searches for something, the solution is geared towards a 30-something year old—completely out-of-sync with the lifestyle of an active 50 to 75 year old. There are exceptions. Amazon, is one, it’s created to deliver solutions.

As a solution to make the Internet easier to use, Montelione and friends created a new Internet Paradigm. (Given that he lives in Sarasota – a city with a high ratio of retired “A” types to the total population, it was easy soliciting help.). “Our focus was to bring the best of the internet to the user – with no typing,” notes Montelione. They gave birth to the http://www. secondhalfPLAYBOOK. com, a web portal designed for male boomers and retirees with the goals of…
Improving family communication Keeping Informed Living a meaningful and enjoyable life Staying healthy, fit and active.

In effect, http://www. secondhalfPLAYBOOK. com was developed to provides male boomers & retirees with the information needed to make the most of life.

Every day, 450 user-suggested sources - news, finances, lifestyle, recreation, relationships, technology, and comedy – are displayed within multi-media centers called Playbooks.

Each provides breadth and depth - articles, commentaries, and videos - within an easy to use format. Users can access 20+ Playbooks with more added each month User’s personal Scoreboard summarizes key Playbooks and family messages.

Http://www. secondhalfPLAYBOOK. com is PRIVATE. It’s closed to search engines for older guys who don’t want their interests to be collected, mined and sold. And there’s no advertising.

Plus the team created an Automated Photo Album that eliminates the need to go to Flickr and Facebook. Upon receiving a photo attachment on an email, the http://www. secondhalfPLAYBOOK automatically tags and stores the photo in a secure Photo Album. The user is then notified and with a key stroke, the user can view the photos.

Lastly, the site takes into consideration that the natural propensity of older guys is to disregard advice, cling to existing behavior, take their wives for granted at times, and “be ignorant,” of good health care practices. It is for these reasons the site tackles every issue with intelligence, sensitivity, and even with humor, if it’s appropriate.

Testimonials
“I think this website is a great idea. Even for my dad, who is relatively tech savvy. The website is a nice way for him to quickly browse through everything that pertains to his life. I think the sports-geared format of the site is a good touch and will also be something he can relate to. I already signed him up!”
--Kristen Fulton, Atlanta, GA

“I gave up on asking my dad to look at my kids’ pictures on Flickr and Facebook. Now with the Playbook, he actually calls me when he gets them!”
--Melissa Clayton, San Ramon, CA

“Being female, I'm not in the target audience for SecondHalfPlaybook, but I took a look at it, and it is intriguing. According to the site, men over 55 tend to have less-than-great typing skills and to be leery of sites like Facebook. Those two descriptors fit the over-55 guy who lives in my house. His Internet search skills also fall into the less-than-great category, so it would be good to have a site that funnels information his way and makes using technology easier.”
--Susan Adcox, About. com

“I’m a car junkie – I go to races, drive a Jag and try to keep up with what’s new. The Playbooks a big help – it gives me the latest and greatest on cars and reviews, plus gives me auto industry news and all the press releases from every company involved in the industry. My next wish is this Aston Martin.”  
--Don Sarle, Long Island, NY

“The Playbook, in my judgment is the best aggregation of information on the Web.”
--Vincent DeMatteo, New Haven, CT

The Second Half Playbook, LLC (“Company”) was founded in 2009 by a senior group of software developers and John Montelione. The Company is headquartered in Sarasota, Florida. The http://www. secondhalfPLAYBOOK application is written in Drupal and is housed on servers (i. e., the cloud) by Rackspace Hosting.
