Mental Health Magazine The Empowerment to Launch in Sacramento

Leave a comment

SACPROS.ORG is preparing to launch a mental health magazine for the Greater Sacramento called “The Empowerment”, which will publish information on many topics relating to the mental health community. Articles of interest will include information on symptom management, alternative strategies, current approaches taught in the greater Sacramento area, health and wellness perspectives and many other topics.

According to SACPROS Network Director, Marilyn Washington “the magazine will create a new and positive image for people with mental health issues working towards their recovery and hopefully help eliminate some of the prevailing stereotypes about mental illness”. It will provide the ability for people with mental illnesses to express their opinions on all areas of their wellness and recovery, something they normally do not get to do in a public way. “SACPROS wants The Empowerment to be an uplifting voice in mental health community”, said Ms. Washington.

“The mental health community is larger than those who are already in the mental health system and who are highly challenged. It also includes a larger population of people who are currently in mainstream society, but who are struggling in their jobs or relationships, dealing with losses, or who are working through addiction issues. The mental health community might also include our friends, family, neighbors and coworkers who have never sought out support services”, said Terry Zick, Wellness Editor of The Empowerment. According to the statement published at press release distribution, the official launch is scheduled for June 2011.”We’re very excited,” she said,” about the launch of this magazine”.

The magazine will have an initial print run of 25,000 copies that will be distributed for FREE every quarter to schools, colleges, bus stops, coffee shops, local hospitals, mental health agencies, grocery stores, room and board homes, boarding care homes and police stations. In 6 to 9 months, SACPROS hopes to increase the copies to 54,000.

The Empowerment will also enable counselors, therapists, clinical Social workers, clinical Psychologists, mental health prevention specialists, educators, nurses, physicians & psychiatrists, hospitals and treatment centers and other behavioral healthcare professionals to promote their vital programs and services to the mental health community. The deadline for placing ads in mental health magazine for the Summer 2011 issue is May 15th, 2011.

LET CUSTARD MEDIA HELP IMPROVE YOUR SITE CONVERSION RATE

Leave a comment

With so much information flying around about new online marketing and PR techniques these days it’s easy to forget why most businesses have a website in the first place – conversions.

The internet is full of promises from so-called experts who guarantee to get more visitors to your site, but if those visitors don’t convert, then what’s the point? Custard Media can help turn your visitors into customers.

The trick is to always think like a new visitor and imagine seeing your site for the first time. We can make it clear what your business does, ensure it has simple and easy navigation and make it obvious how to get in touch.

Don’t give your customers an excuse to take their business elsewhere; fulfil your promises and make sure the landing page delivers what the link promised with the experts at Custard Media.

We understand how full the internet is of unscrupulous sites and it is because of this we can aid you build trust. Show that you’re different and your product or service is legitimate and not a scam but don’t optimise what you can’t deliver. There’s no point getting millions of visitors for ‘shoes’ when all you sell is shoelaces – your visitors just won’t convert.

Custard Media can monitor your site to see what product or service is attracting lots of visitors and which are resulting in enquiries or sales. Let us assist you in seeing what areas of your site need working.

Visitors don’t make money, conversions do! For advice on how leading SEO Preston agency Custard Media can improve your conversion rate, get in touch at info@custardmedia.co.uk or call 01772781830

The End of the Middle Class and the Emergence of a Planetary Society of Control

Leave a comment

NEW YORK, NY – MARCH 12, 2011 – Emanuel Dimas de Melo Pimenta was born in 1957 in Sao Paulo, Brazil. Beginning in childhood, the architect, urban planner, and musician traveled, as his father was an important inventor and industrial businessman. After 1987, he lived between New York City, Switzerland, Portugal, and Brazil. In 2003, inspired by the last thoughts of the economist John Kenneth Galbraith, he started an unexpected journey: to discover the common elements of social transformation on a planetary scale. Would it be possible? It seems so, according to his book, “Low Power Society: Continuous Hyperconsumption and the End of the Middle Class in a Hyperurban Planet,” now launched at Amazon.com.

What would exist in common between Asia, Africa, Europe, and the United States? “We penetrated a worldwide scale of interactions that made it possible to identify common patterns,” Pimenta said. And how could those discoveries impact the daily lives of people living in large cities in the United States or even in the countryside of Europe? “In many aspects,” replies the author, “everything seems to follow a coherent pattern, changing standards of education, references of personal development, like the future of some professions, strategies for money investment, and so on. Everything is quickly changing. If you are thinking of your future or the future of your family, surely this book will be of interest.”

In the book “Low Power Society,” Emanuel Pimenta describes an astonishing scenario that includes technological tools of social control, new forms of world conflicts, different kinds of statistical data, and the establishment of a new bureaucratic aristocracy.

“The book is not pessimistic. I never make any judgment of value,” he said. “It simply is powerful research conducted around the world. It is a book that can help people to better understand what is really happening on our planet. Many times I’ve met people perplexed with the fast transformations of our societies. Many times people ask me where one could find a good place to live. This book helps people understand what is happening.”

Corrado Bianchi Porro, journalist chief of the famous Swiss newspaper “Giornale del Popolo,” from the canton of Ticino, wrote the book’s introduction. The preface was written by the legendary American journalist Jon Rappoport, from California.

Emanuel Pimenta is member of the New York Academy of Sciences, of the Council of Architects and Engineers of Brazil, and of the American Association for the Advancement of Science.

“Low Power Society” can be purchased at http://www.asa-art.com/books.html, at http://www.amazon.com, or can be ordered in any bookshop all over the world.

The book has two different editions, in English and in Portuguese.

Agencies Warn People To Stay On Guard for UK Models Scam

Leave a comment

Due to a recent rise in unscrupulous agencies defrauding prospective models, many legitimate modelling agencies have published warnings on their websites to help and inform.

London, England 24th February, 2011 – An increasing number of confidence tricksters have taken advantage of prospective models and scammed them out of money but the legitimate agencies are fighting back with a series of online warnings and advisories.

A spokesman from one of the leading modelling agencies elaborates, ‘Despite these scams being well documented and known to the law enforcement agencies they are still occurring on an alarmingly regular basis throughout the UK. A number of legitimate modelling agencies have now included an advisory warning section on their website to warn prospective models of the dangers of fraudsters.’

Although these scams are carried out by criminals there can be no doubt that they generate negative publicity for the industry as a whole. People who run their modelling related business with integrity and the best intentions can sometimes come under unfair scrutiny from prospective models and the media alike. This is something that these online advisories can perhaps reduce.

Our spokesman goes onto say, ‘The biggest problem that many people face when trying to ascertain whether the offer is genuine or a UK models scam is that the fraudsters are very convincing. They look the part, they talk the part and their casting session will often be held in upmarket venues which only add to their mask of credibility. Although it is flattering to be invited to a modelling audition or similar it is of utmost importance to do a little research first, looking at the advisories and warnings on legitimate agency websites is a good start.’

As well as advisories and warning about the latest scams and pitfalls to avoid, the agency websites also provide a valuable insight for prospective models as to how the industry recruits or auditions models. Taking an in-depth look at how the established agencies do things should give the model some idea of the process involved and perhaps set alarm bells ringing if they are approached by an unscrupulous operator.

The spokesman concludes by saying. ‘Although we cannot physically stop these scam artists on our own we can arm people with information of what to look for when trying to enter the world of modelling as well as the obvious warning signs.’

Watchers of the Rainbow Covenant – New Sci-Fi Thriller-Mystery Novel

Leave a comment

New Author Derrick G. Lindsey’s novel Watchers of the Rainbow Covenant confronts paranormal phenomena and science with Biblical scripture. One of the great anomalies of our modern time, is that atheists attack the Bible as being full of “ignorance” and a tool written by ignorant men “to enslave” those who believe. This could not be further from the truth. Even if you don’t believe in divine inspiration, the writers were the greatest minds of their time. The greatest philosophers, statesmen, planners, organizers, military leaders, and “yes” even scientist of their day. Theirs was cutting edge thinking in a constantly changing world of demagogies, wars, famines, and new scientific discoveries. Much like the world we live in today.

Derrick G. Lindsey explodes onto the literary scene with a compelling, fast paced and suspenseful novel set in a dynamic future. What is truly fascinating is how it confronts cutting edge theories of today on the creation of the universe with the Biblical accounts of creation.

The story is a step by step mystery that evolves, but the science is what is ground breaking. A true fusion of the two trains of thought (Religion and Science) which actually are very complementary to each other.

Paranormal phenomena folklore dating back thousands of years, and presented in theories and in the media today are brought face to face with the ageless text of the Bible.

Watchers of the Rainbow Covenant is a joy ride on a fast plane into a world 200 years from today. One need not be a Biblical scholar or a science fan of the latest theories to enjoy it. One merely has to love science fiction and you will love this novel.

About the Author:
Derrick G. Lindsey is a Computer Science Engineer who has worked for various NASA projects in his career, most notably the U.S. Space Shuttle.

He has studied at Fuller Theological Seminary Pasadena California, and The Kings Seminary in Van Nuys California where he is pursuing a Masters of Divinity Degree.

Pinflap Live! — Feb 26 8.30-10pm @ Dunn Bros Coffee House, Beltline Road Addison, TX

Leave a comment

The patrons glanced up at the musician from behind their laptop screens drawn from their cyber worlds by the unique acoustic songs which permeated the Texas coffee shop.

Their glances to the musician, their smiles and loud cheers at the end of each song indicating they were enjoying the performance. Such is the ambience of a coffee shop audience as they work on their laptops while enjoying the live music.

The singer/songwriter that night was Pinflap (Gregory Wooldridge) from Dallas Texas, who’s first CD Pinflap 2 is a current hit with international radio audiences.

By popular request, pinflap will return to Dunn Bros Coffee House, Addison Texas on Saturday night, Feb 26 to share more of his unique acoustic songs.

Wooldridge has been writing music for about 28 years. At the age of 21, he brought a used acoustic guitar and taught himself how to play. Three months later he was in a band and playing bass.

As a former member of several successful bands in the 80s and 90s, including the Cadillac Cowboys, he then went on to carve out a solo career as a singer/songwriter and an acoustic guitarist performing under the name Pinflap.

Pinflap credits Lindsey Buckingham, James Taylor and Ian Anderson, as musicians who inspired his career. One amazing fact about Pinflap is that he never uses a pick, ever! His unique acoustic style sounds simplistic but yet it is complex if not impossible to emulate.

In an industry often permeated with mixers and voice synthesizers it is refreshing to hear the raw talent of a singer/songwriter acoustic guitarist who sounds as good live as he does on his 2010 released album, Pinflap 2. But don’t take my word for it check him out yourself at Dunn Bros Coffee, Addison from 8.30pm on Feb 26.
