The Longevity Opportunity in the U.S. is Comparable to Emerging BRIC Markets

Lafayette, California (PRWEB) February 13, 2012

In 2011 the first of the baby boomer generation began turning 65 years old. Near daily stories in the media are generated about the issues, needs, impact, influence and sheer size of the eldest of our population. The growing discourse includes changes to retirement trends, the fact that the 55+ age group is the fastest-growing segment of entrepreneurs, the call to advertisers that they can no longer afford to ignore this audience, and announcements of new outlets catering to these demographics. From aging-in-place technologies to social and mobile media, to the spending power of grandparents, the overall wealth of opportunities in meeting the needs of this mature market is the purpose of the ninth annual What’s Next Boomer Business Summit, being held March 28 in Washington, D.C. There the country’s leading analysts, top researchers and executive strategists will gather to introduce new research, products and services, and to present the definitive ways to reach and successfully sell to baby boomers and senior consumers. It is the event to meet the entrepreneurs and brand teams pursuing the baby boomer customer, and learn the marketing strategies that work to reach them.

It opens with a keynote delivered by veteran political strategist Donna Brazile, on ‘Designing a Personalized Business Model for the New Economy’. Jody Holtzman, SVP of Thought Leadership Group at AARP will define and examine the entrepreneurial and market opportunities related to the new Longevity Economy. His keynote will unearth current economic activity related to the demographic phenomenon of people living longer, richer lives and will address areas where the needs and wants of Americans 45 and older are not being met. Also, he will present a new framework for approaching both the societal needs and economic opportunities related to a changing and vital population.

The event tracks will explore trends in the following areas, with agenda highlights:

    Innovation and frugality
    Baby boomers have the money and desire to bond with their grandchildren, but given today’s investment climate, will there be money in the future for them to inherit? Moderator Lori Bitter, President, Crew Media, will get Jodi Olshevski, Assistant VP, The Hartford, Robert Stephen, VP, My Home & Family Portfolio, IVS-Portfolio Management, AARP, and Sandy Timmermann, Assistant Vice President, MetLife and Director of the MetLife Mature Market Institute to tell what are the changes and choices in work, retirement, and for money protection that older adults can make to thrive in the age of lowered expectations.
    It is the mature consumer segment that is currently generating the most interest and excitement–grandparents. The grandparent economy is large (40 million), growing and lucrative. Grandparents are spending money on necessities, learning and luxury for their grandchildren. They are investing in tuition, tutoring, and technology. Missy Sullivan, Senior Editor of the Wall Street Journal’s Smart Money, and Robert Stephen, VP, My Home & Family Portfolio, IVS-Portfolio Management, AARP, identify the business ecosystem of brands baby boomers are embracing with this new role.
    Baby boomer women are the chief purchasing officers, chief caregiving officers, and chief healthcare officers for their families. They often influence purchase decisions in travel and investment for themselves and extended families. Myrna Blyth, Editor in Chief of ThirdAge.com shares insights from her inspiring panel of women in new media and business.

    Integrated media and marketing, social, mobile, gaming
    Moderated by Deborah Jacobs of Forbes, the ‘Tech Trends’ session will answer what mature consumers want most from their smart phones, tablets, and the Internet itself. Laurie Orlov, Founder, Aging in Place Technology Watch, and Lee Rainie, Director, Pew Research Center’s Internet & American Life Project, will present the latest data to answer this, and discuss how that information can drive investment and strategies of companies small and large.
    ‘Boomer Trends in E-tailing, Retailing and Mobile Commerce’ session delves into dramatic changes in consumer buying behavior in an online and mobile world. It is forcing retailers to think, staff and partner in new ways. Moderated by Gail Kirby, PhD, Marketing, Santa Clara University, she will have Jeff Hasen, CMO, Hipcricket and Candace Corlett, President, WSL Strategic Retail navigate the multiple-channel world of today.
    Attendees will discover the latest trends in how companies are using media to drive leads, with industry leaders that include AARP’s Director of Social Communications & Strategy, Tammy Gordon.
    Beth Carpenter, Digital Distribution, AARP brings with her one of the many bright minds from Google for the in-demand session ‘Using Google, Facebook and Twitter to Build Your Business’ that will aid businesses by showing them how to leverage Google’s many free products to maximize web traffic, conduct search engine optimization, and use tools such as Ad Words, Twitter, and Facebook to connect and engage potential customers.

    The new service economy of housing, caregiving, mobility and healthcare
    The prospect of a stalled homebuilding industry creating a surge in age-in-place remodeling is explored by Steve French, Managing Director, Natural Marketing Institute (NMI), and Gail Gibson Hunt, President & CEO, National Alliance for Caregiving. They explain why wireless home health technology will blossom in the face of health reform, and debate if the growing number of caregivers (and their policy influence) will get the attention of Congress.
    The ‘Health Services 3.0’ panel will consider the businesses that are meeting baby boomers on their technology platform of choice when it comes to managing their health. Examining the burgeoning mHealth realm, this panel will include Jeff Shoemate, Vice President of Innovation & Business Development, United Healthcare-Medicare & Retirement, Ilya Oshman, SVP, FP&A, Weight Watchers and Charlotte Yeh, Chief Medical Officer, AARP.

Entrepreneurship and encore careers
With increased longevity, and a need and desire to work, boomers are exploring encore careers in record numbers. Mary Furlong, President & CEO, Mary Furlong & Associates, and Gene Zanlo, CEO, MBO Partners, will explore the fields with the greatest growth and case studies of those who are reimagining life anew.

Often cited as worth the cost of registration alone, the ‘Lunch with the Experts’ is every attendee’s chance for exclusive access to the best analysts, authors, bloggers, and boomer market experts at this summit. The list of table hosts is available at http://boomersummit.com/lunch.html.

The complete list of speakers is available at http://www.boomersummit.com/speakers.html.

“The boomer, senior and caregiver markets are large and growing. The changing economy has created a shift in spending that is becoming the new normal. This conference brings together the most innovative companies and top thought leaders in marketing, innovation and distribution,” Mary Furlong, What’s Next conference producer shared. “These markets are growing as rapidly as the emerging markets of Brazil, Russia, India and China. Join us in March to discover the important segments in the longevity economy.”

A press conference will take place on March 29 at 11:00 a.m. at the National Press Club. Speakers and sponsors will be making their new research product and service announcements.

International Museum of Women Presents MAMA: Motherhood Around the Globe

“Little Burden:” A mother in China carries her child on her back. Credit: Syed Javaid A. Kazai / IMOW

San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) January 24, 2012

The International Museum of Women (IMOW) today opened its 2012 global online exhibition MAMA: Motherhood Around the Globe, which explores emerging issues, unique challenges, and changing perspectives of motherhood throughout the world. The newly launched exhibition can be found at http://www.imow.org or directly at mama.imow.org and expects to attract more than 100,000 visitors over the next nine months. The exhibition will showcase original creative works, including art, film, music, photography, essays and interviews, reflecting the stories, visions and voices of motherhood from more than 60 countries—with more than 200 works to be rolled out by September 2012.

The exhibition aims to inspire a global conversation about mothers’ lives and rights in the 21st century and to boost awareness on issues such as improving maternal health worldwide. According to the United Nations (2010), a woman dies every 90 seconds from preventable causes during pregnancy and birth. As part of the exhibition, global maternal health advocate and founder of Every Mother Counts, Christy Turlington Burns, has joined the Museum to present an online visitor pledge for maternal health rights. With a goal of 10,000 signatures, the pledge will be delivered to governments and policy makers, culminating with a special presentation in conjunction with the UN General Assembly in September 2012.

“Our MAMA exhibition presents a unique snapshot of mothers today. It is one of the most profound, insightful, and poignant expressions of motherhood ever assembled in one place online,” said IMOW Executive Director Clare Winterton. “Visitors will experience the joys, creativity and leadership of mothers from around the world. They will also get a unique insight into the challenges today’s mothers face on issues from health to balancing work and family, as well as into too often taboo subjects including miscarriage, infertility and the choice not to have children.”

“As a mother, a global maternal health advocate and founder of Every Mother Counts, I’m thrilled to support the MAMA exhibition,” said Christy Turlington Burns. “The diverse stories by mothers from all over the world are an inspiring way to educate the public about maternal health issues, and I encourage people to visit the website to take part in a global conversation on the challenges and possibilities facing mothers today.”

The exhibition features a wide range of powerful contributions with visitors invited to share deeply personal experiences of motherhood from around the world: a Colombian woman gives birth amid an inadequate medical environment; a Nigerian woman talks about the impact of infertility on her marriage; an artist shares wooden sculptures, which symbolically portray what it is like to go through a painful miscarriage; and an embroidered art piece educates the world on what not to say to women who choose not to be mothers.

The exhibition, which will be featured online through September 2012, will feature eight galleries on different topics to be rolled out monthly. Each gallery will focus on a different dimension of contemporary motherhood and will include a remarkable body of work including videos, multimedia art, ideas for the future from global thought leaders, a short story collection, and profiles of heroes who work to improve the lives of mothers and children.

The eight galleries include:

Mama to Be? : Who Decides If, How, And When A Woman Has A Child?

(Launching on January 24th)

Healthy Mama, Healthy Baby: What Are The Realities Of 21st Century Pregnancy And Childbirth?

Mama’s Work: How Do Women Around The Globe Juggle Work And Motherhood?

Mama in Many Ways: How Is The Role Of “Mother” Evolving?

Mama Then and Now: How Do The Experiences Of Mothers, Grandmothers, And Daughters Compare?

Mama and Me: How Do Mothers’ Identities Shift And Change?

Papa: What Is The Changing Role Of The Modern Dad?

Mama Power: What Kind Of Power Do Mothers Wield?

The International Museum of Women is an innovative online museum that inspires creativity, awareness and action on vital global issues for women. For more information on IMOW, go to http://www.imow.org

For more information on Every Mother Counts, please visit everymothercounts.org.

The International Museum of Women and Every Mother Counts online visitor pledge can be found at mama.imow.org/pledg.

Square to Roll Out Two New Disposable Electronic Cigarettes at TPE Expo in Las Vegas

Square’s new clove-cinnamon flavored Black e-cig.

Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) January 21, 2012

Square, the manufacturer of long-lasting, high-quality disposable electronic cigarettes(or e-cigs), will unveil two new varieties of disposable electronic cigarettes at the Tobacco Plus Expo (TPE) in Las Vegas on February 1-2. The expo brings together manufacturers and distributors of tobacco and related products. Square will occupy booth 138.

“TPE is a great place for us to connect with vendors who are interested in getting into the booming e-cigarette business,” said Mike Ahmad of PhD Marketing, representing Square. “Stop by our booth to learn more about our eight varieties of disposable electronic cigarettes.”

Square will unveil two new kinds of e-cigarettes in Las Vegas. The new blue-colored Punch e-ci g delivers 18 mg of fruit punch/tobacco-flavored nicotine. The new Black e-cig has a clove-cinnamon flavor and delivers 18 mg of nicotine.

The new flavors will be on display at TPE, along with six other Square e-cig varieties: Original Red; Minty Menthol; Gold, Silver and White, which contain decreasing amounts of nicotine (12 mg, 8 mg, and none, respectively); and strawberry-flavored Pink.

Square 82 e-cigarettes are becoming a popular smoking alternative because they feel a lot like inhaling cigarette smoke—yet only water vapor with little to no aroma is dispelled. The product does not produce dangerous secondhand smoke or stink up the room or clothes or breath. They can be used almost anywhere.

Square’s disposable e-cigs’ $ 7.99 suggested retail price puts them in the reach of most consumers, and because they last approximately 500 puffs (equivalent to 2 packs of traditional cigarettes) they make better economic sense than rechargeable e-cigs. They are the number-one brand in the fast-growing electronic cigarette market.

More than 2,000 people attend the annual TPE at the Las Vegas Convention Show. Attendees represent retail tobacco stores, tobacconists, convenience stores, wholesalers, importers/exporters, manufacturers, consultants and others tobacco industry representatives.

For more information about TPE and the two new flavors Square 82 e-cigs will unveil at the show, please visit the company website at http://www.squaresmoke.com or call 1-888-900-6896.

About Square

Square’s disposable electronic cigarettes offer smokers an inexpensive alternative to regular cigarettes or rechargeable e-cigs. The product—which lasts about the same as two packs of cigarettes, but is priced like a single pack—does not generate secondhand smoke, tar, or yellow teeth. Square Smoke is now available at select bars, restaurants, movie theaters, gas stations, and even convenience stores such as Chevron Gas Stations.

WARNING: Square 82 electronic cigarettes contain nicotine, a chemical known to the State of California to cause birth defects or other reproductive harm. Square 82 products are not a smoking cessation product, and have not been tested as such. The product and the statement made within have not been evaluated by the US FDA. Square products are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any condition, disorder, disease, or physical or mental condition. Keep out of reach of children.

Square Smoke does not endorse the use of e-cigarettes or e-cigarette products by minors and pregnant or nursing women. Those with pre-existing health conditions should consult with their doctor prior to using any e-cigarette.

Compromise for a Healthy Football Season; You’ll Have a Healthy Sex Life

(PRWEB) January 06, 2012

For couples where the husband gets engrossed in football this time of year, Dr. Bonnie Eaker Weil has tips to help ensure that sports doesn’t become a power struggle. Since 49 percent of men enjoy watching football more than any sport (according to a Gallup poll: http://www.gallup.com/poll/10438/football-reigns-americas-favorite-sport.aspx) and only 29 percent of women do, conflict can easily crop up this time of year. Dr. Bonnie suggests turning the football playoffs into a fun event for the couple instead.

“Try to make it an experience of novelty and mystery for both people, which raises the endorphin level” Dr. Bonnie advises, “schedule the time to watch the games so that the wife or the less interested party isn’t surprised when there’s another game on television.”

If it’s not practical – or enjoyable! – for both people to watch the games, make sure that the experience is still mutually beneficial. Use half-time as a time to snuggle with your partner, or wives can make their husbands their favorite snacks – especially since a way to a man’s heart is through his stomach.

If guys do watch the playoffs on their own, they should make sure to set a separate time during the week to create a special experience for their wife. Suggests Dr. Bonnie: “Take her out to dinner, or cook her favorite meal.” With this type of mentality it’s easier to negotiate on things that are important to you, rather than becoming locked in a power struggle.

When both people in a relationship are happy doing the things they enjoy – instead of feeling guilty or brow-beaten – each person is more fulfilled and this leads to a healthier sex life. Dr. Bonnie encourages couples to use the playoffs as an event to get closer to each other, and create a stronger relational bond – whether or not the couple watches the games together, or works out another arrangement.

SilverLeaf Financial, a private equity firm specializing in buying distressed debt, recently announced the acquisition of the 6,000 acre luxury master planned community in western Colorado, known as Cornerstone. It was purchased fee simple with clear title, for an undisclosed price. Cornerstone began development in 2006. The development is located approximately 1 hour north of the Telluride ski community.

Cornerstone features 125 fully improved lots, 56 of which have sold, leaving 69 currently available for sale. There are an additional 287 lots in various levels of improvement within the development. The development is planned for a total of 412 “Homestead” lots ranging in size from ¼ acre to over 100 acres. Included in the purchase were 4 custom built cabins constructed by the Developer. Each large cabin is fully furnished with 4 master suites and shared amenity space. All 4 of these “Foursome Cabins” are currently available for sale.

The private luxury community includes a high-end 18-hole, 72-par Greg Norman championship golf course and 20-acre practice/training area. The golf course has been the recipient of many prestigious awards including “No. 1 Best New Course in Colorado” and “No. 1 Best New Private Course in the U.S.” The Clubhouse at Cornerstone is 6,000 square feet and includes a dining area, pro shop, men’s and women’s locker areas, fitness area and swimming pool/ beach area.

Secure Patient Portal Technology Proves Successful for Award-Winning Virginia Women?s Center

Secure Patient Portal Technology Proves Successful for Award-Winning Virginia Women’s Center

Richmond, VA (PRWEB) September 29, 2011

While much of the health care industry has been slow to adopt electronic health records technology, Virginia Women’s Center (VWC) has embraced its benefits, using it to fully enhance the patient’s experience with their practice by adding a secure patient portal in 2010. The secure patient portal allows patients to schedule appointments, send secure messages to their VWC care team, request prescription refills, receive lab and test results via secure message and update, view and download their medical summaries. In addition, the practice hopes to keep patients engaged and informed about their health through their resource-rich Web site, VirginiaWomensCenter.com. In the first year following the launch of the patient portal, Virginia Women’s Center has seen approximately 51 percent of their patients register on this new service.

“In this day and age, women are working, raising children and caring for their families, among many other things,” said Virginia Women’s Center Administrator, Brenda Burgess. “To put it plainly, women are busy. As their health care providers at Virginia Women’s Center, we want to make every aspect of our services easily accessible to them. I think our patient portal has helped many of them communicate with our practice when it is convenient for them, ensuring that they still receive the care they need despite their hectic daily lives.”

While the success of the secure patient portal is evident in the number of patients who have registered and utilize the free service, the anecdotal feedback from patients about the portal has been extremely positive.

“Personally, I have found that the most popular features on the portal are the abilities to receive lab and test results and to message the nurses to ask questions,” said Dr. Kay Stout, practicing physician and Director of Clinical Informatics at Virginia Women’s Center. “In addition, we’ve started sending 70% of our Pap smear results through the online portal versus the U.S. mail. This not only reduces the amount of time patients have to wait for their results, but also, it is one more way we’ve been able to diminish our environmental impact. Finally, this is a more efficient workflow, freeing up our staff to return to what they do best: caring for our patients.”

Since its inception in the 1960s, Virginia Women’s Center has dedicated its practice to serving the entire realm of women’s health care, incorporating urology, high-risk obstetrics, obstetrical genetic counseling, ultrasound, mammography, bone health, psychology and clinical research to complement their traditional obstetrics and gynecological care. The independent practice has also since dedicated itself to utilizing medical technology to better serve its patients and was the 2009 recipient of the Davies Award for its implementation and use of electronic health records. Looking ahead to the future of the secure patient portal, Virginia Women’s Center hopes to increase the number of appointments and prescriptions refills that are completed online. New features are continuously being added, the most recent being a “medical summary”, where patients can view and download overviews of their medical records.

For more information about Virginia Women’s Center and its use of an online portal to assist its patients, please contact Kate Mendez at 804-288-4084.

About Virginia Women’s Center

Womens-Health.com will actively participate in National Women’s Health Week by launching a virtual team to participate in the 8-week WOMAN fitness challenge, by recruiting active online community members from across the country. The site will also provide quality women’s health information, including a daily women’s health focus to encourage awareness in all community members and visitors.

“National Women’s Health Week is important because it is the one week we set aside to encourage women to take time for themselves,” says Anthos Chrysanthou, founder of http://www.Womens-Health.com. “Often times women are the caregivers for their families and forget to take care of themselves. With National Women’s Health Week we remind women that they too need to visit the doctor, make sure their screenings are up-to-date and just take a minute to think about their health.”

About National Women’s Health Week

National Women’s Health Week kicks off on Mother’s Day, May 13, and will be celebrated until May 19, 2007. National Women’s Check-up Day – a day where women across the country are urged to visit their doctor – will be held on May 14, 2007.

Men and women have specifics need when it come to fitness that varies significantly when compared. That is why; what may be useful and effective to men may not be as usable to women. To help answer to the growing needs of women in the market, many products are especially designed to suit the needs of the female populace. One product geared towards woman is known as the Total Health Women’s Formula. This has a significant popularity in the market because its one of the few products for women that serves as an aid or supplement in the normal exercise regimen. Its ingredients are directed towards helping in the process of fat loss, increasing energy, and assisting you to work out harder yet recover faster.

Here are a few health benefits of the product:

1.It is known to help improve thyroid regulation. The formula used in the product contains a special mixture of three ingredients that ensures the thyroid can respond correctly to any exercise program. The thyroid is body’s center of metabolism regulation; therefore, with its increased efficiency, the body of you dreams is not a far possibility. To top it all, the dangerous ingredient in ephedra found to be risky is never present in the product making it all the more safe.

2.Another important role of the thyroid gland is converting fat from body stores and using it for energy. Fat has always been an alternative source of energy whenever carbohydrate energy is depleted. The goal of any exercise is to keep fat at a minimum and normal level in time for when it is going to be used. However, with the food available in the market, fat accumulation is easy yet its removal is hard. Therefore, with use of the product, it is ensured that fat removal especially the excess ones out of the food people eat is efficient and fat accumulation that poses risks to the health will never happen.

3.Premenstrual syndrome is one part of womanhood that is very hard to bear. When that day of the month looms near, women have an incredible shift in moods, terrible headache and pain in the uterine area. It is good to know that the soy isoflavones found in this product may help in reducing some PMS and menopause-related symptoms. Imagine getting the exercise you deserve minus the supposed monthly pains that has been making your life difficult sure is a welcome change.

4.Another benefit of isoflavones is that it is a staunch protector of the hearth and increases bone health. These very important organs in the body need as much protection it needs and with this product, part of the solution is taken cared.

The product has unprecedented effects to women that is why buying it is necessary for all women whether in or out of the fitness bandwagon.
