Educational and Professional growth is just a Synaap away!

Long Beach Resident Anita Herrera Launches New One-of-a-Kind, Non Profit called Synaap.org –an interactive social media tool to provide students with the information, access to mentorship and the encouragement needed to stay on track with their educational goals

Long Beach, CA, February 20, 2015 – Upon arriving as a freshman on the campus of UCLA, a young Anita Herrera wondered: Do I really belong here? As the first in her family to attend a four-year university, Anita lacked a roadmap to help her negotiate the rigorous academic environment. And then, during her first quarter of study, her beloved grandfather died suddenly of a heart attack.

“Just hours before he died he held my hand and said, ‘Love God and keep studying.’ Those words became my life’s motto,” Anita said. “During the times when I had very little financial or emotional support, I clung to those words.”

Fast-forward a couple decades. Anita Herrera became Dr. Anita Herrera Hamilton a board certified pediatric neuropsychologist at Children’s Hospital, Los Angeles. Having attained her educational goals she wants to empower the world to do the same. Literally. Hamilton has launched a one-of-a-kind, website called <a href=’http://www.synaap.org/’>Synaap.org</a>, an interactive social media tool to provide students with the information, access to mentorship and the encouragement needed to stay on track with their educational goals.

The idea behind <a href=’http://www.synaap.org/’>Synaap.org</a> is to establish a national and then global network of collaborative mentorship that is convenient, efficient and accessible to anyone in need of educational support.

Hamilton believes that mentorship is a fluid, organic, collaboration of supportive team members, and each mentor brings a unique perspective and role. At Synaap.org, some will focus on academics, others will provide insight geared toward personal or professional development. The goal is to encourage others to optimize their hard work, knowledge and personal life experiences.

“Because of <a href=’http://www.synaap.org/’>Synaap.org</a>, future leaders no longer have to feel isolated or alone in their educational journey,” Hamilton said. “They will be able to see, know and interact with others like them, or who started out like them, and through these interactions achieve their educational goals then turn around and do the same.”

Hamilton completed her Bachelor of Arts in English Literature at UCLA (1996) and her Ph.D. in clinical psychology with an emphasis in neuropsychology at the Fuller School of Psychology in Pasadena (2005). Following residency at Children’s Hospital Colorado and a post-doctoral fellowship in pediatric neuropsychology at Children’s Hospital Los Angeles, Dr. Hamilton received board certification in Clinical Neuropsychology from the American Board of Clinical Neuropsychology. She is currently CHLA’s Director of Neuropsychology at the Children’s Orthopaedic Center.

Dr. Hamilton envisions 5,000 members within Synaap.org’s first year, increasing to 20,000 the second year, and 100,000 in the third year. Future goals include: providing information resources from local and national experts via the site’s “Fuel,” “Balance” and “Inspire” tabs; hosting/streaming local and national leaders speaking to others about education and professional development; obtaining advertising contracts to cover financial costs and overhead; initiating a Synaap app that allows members log their education, exercise and nutrition progress and then analyze this data to modify behavior and realize success; and opening a Synaap.org headquarters as the website becomes THE social media tool for all mentorship organizations, with global input from all seven continents.

In the end, Hamilton hopes <a href=’http://www.synaap.org/’>Synaap.org</a> members are able to have goal-focused and solution-oriented interactions that instill and promote professional development.

No one knows more than Hamilton how inspiration is the genesis of learning, and how learning is the path to joy and fulfillment.

“Synaap.org provides an efficient mechanism for busy professionals to encourage and mentor future leaders,” she said. “When we give to others we stay relevant and innovative and in the end really benefit ourselves.”

Synaap.com is a 501c3.

“Healing Artist” Helen Kagan in the Gallery’s Artist Showcase

Leave a comment

Light Space & Time Online Art Gallery is extremely pleased to announce “Healing Artist” Helen Kagan has been named the gallery’s latest featured artist.

Jupiter, FL, USA (February 17, 2015) — Light Space & Time Online Art Gallery is extremely pleased to announce “Healing Artist” Helen Kagan has been named the gallery’s latest featured artist. She will now be shown in and promoted in the gallery’s Artist Showcase.

Coming from a family of scientists, Helen has always been fascinated by the left and right brain relationship. A holistic therapist and artist, she’s been developing her unique technique and style as “Healing Arts” which reflects her own deep introspective view on life, a desire to bridge realities and heal the Past. She considers it as her unique way to integrate Fine Art and the Art of Healing.

Her canvases are influenced by impressionism and expressionism, they are varied and vibrant, some are raw, some refined, all are intuitive. They are bridges to the past, cities in the rain, street lights, domes, oceans, fields of sunflowers, moons, clouds, sunsets… But, there are always spiritual messages present in all of them: being on your Journey, going towards the Light, following your Path, self-reflection, awareness of ‘Here and Now’, and of course – ‘j’oie de vivre’!

Helen believes that art as a powerful form of self-expression can become a vehicle for emotional, physical, mental and spiritual well-being, and can enhance healing to those in need. She envisions her “Healing Arts” to be placed in Medical Centers, Multicultural Centers, Hospitals, offices, libraries, Crisis Centers… – wherever it can promote well-being.

She donated many of her artwork to charities, Hospice and other organizations and individuals. In her Artist Statement Helen says – “I believe that art heals. I believe in interconnectedness of physical, mental, and spiritual. I am a Healing Artist creating and sharing my unique art for inspiration, healing, transformation, and … just for your good mood”.

As a therapist and artist she believes that tragedy, trauma and pain can be healed with beauty, positive energy, self-expression. Helen believes in mind-body-spirit connection and her passionate art is a statement of all her beliefs. For more information on Helen and her art please see: http://www.HelenKagan.com and her Artist Showcase shown here http://www.lightspacetime.com/artist-showcase/artist-showcase-helen-kagan.

Where2Golf Celebrates 10th Anniversary as Golf’s Ultimate Online Information Source

Leave a comment

LONDON, England, February 16, 2015 — /REAL TIME PRESS RELEASE/ — Where2Golf.com is celebrating its 10th anniversary as the ultimate online information source for the game of golf where golfers can ‘discover the best’ in golf travel and refer to its vast library of golf facts, figures and images.

Whilst first and foremost a comprehensive guide to the finest golf courses and the top golf destinations in the world, Where2Golf also houses an encyclopaedia of golf information covering international tournaments, both professional and amateur, a Who’s Who of golf, from the world’s best professionals to some of golf’s best course designers, as well as a golf dictionary that explains the game’s unique terminology.

Where2Golf began as a hobby back in 2002 for site founders, Nigel Butler and Suzanne Lenaerts, but it was three years later when they quit corporate life and committed themselves fulltime to expanding Where2Golf that it began to crystallize into the complete golf resource that it is today.

The professional development of the website started in 2005 with the couple visiting golf destinations and playing golf courses around the globe to ensure that their content was tried, tested and true and that the information they were providing was as accurate and objective as it could be.

“Nigel and I realised that if we were going to take on the huge task of growing Where2Golf into one of the world’s most complete golf guide we needed to devote 100% of our time to the project,” explains Suzanne. “ We gave up our jobs and began by seeking out and playing what most golfers would describe as the “best” golf courses on the planet. The Where2Golf resource you see today is the culmination of our combined experience of playing, assessing and covering over 4,500 golf courses over the last 10 years, from Europe to America, Australasia to Africa”.

As the content grew, so the website traffic grew.

Testament to the reputation the site has gained as a credible and reliable course reviewer, Where2Golf now generates an impressive 90,000 views per month and rising.

Though not exhaustive, this unique resource represents a wide and rich selection of courses that the general consensus of travelling golfers all over the world would want to play. To keep Where2Golf live, course reviews and new golfing destinations are added to and updated regularly. Turkey for example has recently been included in the golf destinations section.

The golf course reviews are based on Nigel’s and Suzanne’s assessment of three main aspects of a course: the quality of the design and layout, the conditioning and presentation and the attractiveness of the setting. The quality of the clubhouse, practice ground and associated facilities above and beyond the golf course are not factored into the ratings.

Another unique feature of the website is its high quality maps that feature all the courses Where2Golf covers. These maps are a powerful tool when planning a golf trip and mean that golfers can identify their preferred location boasting several great courses while basing themselves centrally. A quick click on each course details nearby recommended hotels whilst ‘Stay & Play’ courses are also indicated.

The encyclopaedia section of Where2Golf is as comprehensive as its golf course coverage.

In the Tournaments category, the results of all the top professional tournaments on the PGA, European, LPGA, LET, Asian and Seniors Tours are covered as well as the top amateur (both men and ladies) scene. Incredibly this coverage goes back as far as 1860.

The Who’s Who category  not only includes the world’s top players but also celebrated golf course designers, golf journalists and club makers and many other golf “celebrities”. Biographies of each individual are listed as well as golfing achievements and their contribution to the world of golf.

Finally a dictionary on the site explains the meaning of the terminology used in the game and offers the first steps in trying to demystify what the sport is about and making it more understandable and approachable.

After 10 years in the making, Where2Golf really is the most comprehensive one-stop shop for travelling golfers.
