At an early age Ms. Yvonne Pierre was faced with challenges, but she refused to let the tragedies, hardships and struggles as excuses to hold her back. She chose to use her past as fuel to make a difference.

The journey she was faced as a small child and adolescent almost made her throw away her dreams. Her father was murdered when she was only 2 years old. Molested from the age of 5 until she was 10, she was later date raped twice. Having to cope with so much at a young age, made her start to give up hope in herself and life. By the time she reached high school she was already an alcoholic, and felt she had to drink to be sober. Education was becoming unimportant, as she was banned from public school. After witnessing the murder of a close friend and losing many others around her to drugs and violence, she decided she wanted more out of life.

She made the choice to finish high school and tried to go to college, but failed the entrance exam the first time. Barely knowing how to read and spell, the embarrassment alone made her push harder than ever before. Studying night and day to pass the basic entry exam, she later went back and passed it. Overcoming a first year that was a bit of a struggle, she became an honor roll student. She then graduated 5 years later with not one, but two degrees: one in Accounting and the other in Business Management.

Today, at the young age of 33, she is drug free and posses a very positive attitude. She is a proud mother of two boys, Zyair (age 12) and Zyon (age 3) her younger son was born with Down syndrome. Both boys were the inspiration behind her company?s name, Zyonair?s Unlimited, LLC.

Zyonair?s Unlimited was originally organized to be a publishing company, but this all changed when Ms. Pierre read an article about a mother who murdered her six-month-old daughter because she had Down syndrome. This mother believed that her child was going to suffer. That same woman later committed suicide. Ms. Pierre stopped everything that she was working on and dedicated her entire company towards launching an online magazine called, HYH (Have Ya Heard) Online. Its sole purpose being promoting positive Down syndrome awareness through celebrating the ABILITIES of individuals with special needs, offering resources and more importantly giving HOPE. Without any funding for this project, Ms. Pierre is self-taught and uses the skills she has learned, such as logo, graphic and web design, marketing and promotion to not only promote her own work with HYH Online, but offers these services to others. HYYOnline.com launched in January 2005. After re-launching in August 2005 it has 150 members within two months and continues to grow. Before the end of the year, Ms. Pierre will also be launching HYH Online TV and HYH Online Radio in efforts to promote these talented artists and soon athletes.

Ms. Pierre states, ?The Creator is like a personal trainer who knows how much weight is needed to make you stronger. That straight is needed to make you strong enough to handle what is to come. Some believe that trials, struggles come from the devil to push us to give up. Some believe that it is the Creators way of making us stronger. I believe either way, I cannot give up. We are supplied with everything we need to accomplish what we are destined to do. I have come a long way but I still have a long way to go.?

Tim Newman, a 1985 graduate of Lawson High School in Lawson MO, played football for the Cardinals. As a starting Quarterback and Cornerback, Tim was always looking to become faster.

Rich adapted to it quickly. By the next season, Gannon noticed a difference in his speed and quickness. NFL fans did as well as Gannon was named to the Pro Bowl for 4 straight years (2000 thru 2003), winning MVP honors the last two years. In 2002 Tim received a phone call from Rich Gannon.

Xooma Worldwide begins its North American National TV marketing campaign October 18, 2005. Xooma will market its Extreme X2O water purification product line via ABC, NBC and more. Xooma distributes its wellness products through independent distributors.

Xooma Xtreme X2O Body Fuel Ph balances and purifies your water without using a filter.

Xooma X2O has also been tested by an independent laboratory located in the NASA Langley Research Center. The degree of “negativity” of an ORP reading is an indicator of how bioavailable and bioabsorbable a product will be in your body. The lower the test reading, the more ions are available for your body’s metabolic functions. X2O is the only product of it’s kind to register “minus” readings on the ORP meter; a huge benefit over the other products tested.

“More than 1 in 5 Americans unknowingly drink tap water polluted with feces, radiation or other contaminants Nearly 1,000 deaths each year and at least 400,000 cases of waterborne illness may be attributed to contaminated water”

-The New York Times – June 2, 1995

X2O benefits: Every Sachet of X2O contains calcium, magnesium, and over 70 trace minerals. These essential minerals (electrolytes) become ionic in water allowing them to be absorbed quickly and easily by your body. X2O is delivered in a pure ionic form, which means it is immediately bioavailable to the body.

Alkalinity = good health. X2O transforms your water into a powerful alkaline beverage, which fights against the physical stress caused by today’s fast-paced lifestyles.

It takes 32 glasses of alkaline water to neutralize the acid from one 12 oz. soda. Each time you drink acidic soda, coffee, tea, and energy drinks your body uses its own buffers (from bone and dna) to raise the body’s alkalinity to maintain your healthy blood pH level of 7.35-7.45.

Xooma’s 30-minute T.V. program will

start airing throughout the U.S. this week. The program will comprise of the following:

-Featuring Xooma testimonies and athletes.

-Broadcast on ABC, CBS, FOX, and others

As part of his ongoing Women?s ?Knee-Sense? Accelerate ACL Awareness Campaign, noted knee expert and published author Dr. Ronald P. Grelsamer will present a seminar on the prevention and treatment of knee injuries in young women at New York?s prestigious Nightingale-Bamford School, 20 E. 92nd Street, on January 24, 2006 at 6:30 p.m.

Said Dr. Grelsamer, ?The predisposition of young women who participate in organized school sports, or are in training to become professional athletes, to Anterior Cruciate Ligament tears is a very timely, yet overlooked, epidemic in our country. Recent studies executed during the past decade indicate that the risk of female ACL injuries is 5 – 6 times greater than for males, and can begin as early as puberty for those who play sports that involve jumping, rapid pivoting, sudden stops and starts such as soccer, basketball, and volleyball. Fortunately, there are undemanding and effective training exercises that can prevent these types of injuries.?

Orthopedists, coaches and sports researchers agree that ACL injuries cause significant health and inflated health costs. ?ACL damage is often linked to repetitive strain due to overuse,? said Dr. Grelsamer, ?occurring as a result of sudden stops and turns or bad landings after jumps. Researchers attribute the discrepancy between men and women to differences in the way females jump and land, and to actual anatomical variances. Theories have most recently centered on joint laxity, and body position. Strength per se does not seem to be an issue.

“Exercises that strengthen the quadriceps and hamstring muscles while promoting balance are important. Women can reeducate their muscles to run and land from jumps more safely and lightly, with flexed knees, rather than straight knee landings which put more strain on the anterior cruciate ligaments. Young women should also be trained to use their hamstrings rather than their quadriceps muscles; to minimize twisting as well as bending movements of the landing leg; and to roll their feet as they hit the ground.”

Dr. Grelsamer advises school coaches and sports trainers to implement specific training regimes such as weight training and conditioning programs, as well as sport-specific skill drills that teach safe positioning, balance and agility. ?The sooner an answer is found, the sooner steps can be taken to bridge the gap,? stressed Dr. Grelsamer. ?ACL injuries may be preventable, but women must be educated and conditioned at young ages.?

Ronald P. Grelsamer, M.D., is currently the chief of hip and knee reconstruction at Maimonides Medical Center, and a noted staff orthopedic specialist at the NYU Medical Center and Hospital for Joint Diseases Orthopaedic Institute. A highly regarded knee and hip surgeon, Grelsamer has been listed in Castle Connolly?s ?America?s Top Doctors,? and in New York Magazine?s ?Best Doctors of New York? for many years.

At age 67, Dennis Kelly has won 1st Place at the Pan American International Championships in Miami Florida — the men’s senior fighting (50 and older) division.

Kelly?s championship career began when, in 1977 & 1978, he won Henry Chow’s National Karate Championships at Madison Square Gardens in New York winning in the men’s Senior fighting (35 and older) division.

What is his secret?

“I have been asked many times what is my secret? How am I able, at my age, to compete on a world-class level? What makes me so different then everyone else my age? After more than 30 years of research and development on the subject of anti-aging with several world expert anti-aging doctors in the United States and Canada, my ?secret? combines this knowledge and expertise with the best technology of the West and century old secrets of the East. I have truly found ‘The Fountain of Youth’. I?m no different than anyone. Personal drive and determination contributes greatly.?

Was he always athletic?

?No! I started Karate at age 35. The style was Tai Kwon Doe. I wanted to lose some weight and I always had the paradigm from my high-school years that I was a terrible athlete, so my goal was to do something physical that would not only get me out of that paradigm but also help me improve my overall health and fitness.?

Dennis Kelly is a certified advanced hypnotherapist, fitness trainer, sports nutritionist, Rotoflex technologist and an expert in Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP) and the study of lymphology.

The founder and grand master of Tai-Chi USA, Kelly is also eleven-time national and world karate champion.

In an aggressive hostile world, we often fear for the safety and wellbeing of our mothers, our wives and our daughters. Will they one day be the victim of a physical assault? What can we do about it? Tim Rochford of Empower Training Systems has recently come out with his 3rd in a series of self defense home study courses.

Rochford’s 20+ years in the business originally started as a martial arts competitor and instructor, he has achieved a 4th degree black belt in Kajukenbo, a type of karate that was developed purely with street self defense in mind. So, it’s a perfect background by which to develop a series of self defense courses.

He has been hired by top corporations such as American Airlines, Target and Marshall Fields to train their employees on how to avert, but if attacked, how to protect themselves from physical hostility.

If you?re worried about getting into altercations because you feel you can defend yourself, you need not be. Rochford?s philosophy is one of confrontation avoidance. Only as a totally last resort are his pupils taught to use physical force. In a post 9/11 world, we could all use a good dose of preparedness.

A New Comprehensive Kickboxing Home Study Course

In addition to self defense, Rochford has a leading edge kickboxing course whereby fitness instructors can be certified at home at their own pace.

Although the course is available to the public at large, it was really developed for fitness trainers. According to Rochford, “Fitness people really are not being pursued to offer self defense training right now but I think they should and that’s why I created this course to give personal trainers and group fitness Instructors the opportunity to learn how to teach basic level self defense. Now here’s a resource for instructors to gain additional skills, knowledge, etc. Now they can offer more diverse services. It’s one way for a trainer to separate herself from other trainers.”

PPS Self Defense Training Program Phase 3

This is the much-anticipated progression course to PPS Phases 1 and 2. Specifically, Phase 3 covers self defense against weapon attacks. The complete Proactive Personal Security Self Defense program focuses on developing an individual?s mental, emotional, environmental and physical awareness along with teaching simple, realistic, and effective self defense strategies and techniques. These courses are beneficial to both those who wish to better protect themselves and to those who train the general population — personal trainers, physical education teachers, law enforcement and military personnel, and even martial artists. Both ACE and the Cooper Institute award 1.3 CECs for the completion of the Phase 3 course. Phases 1 and 2 are each worth .8 CECs for ACE and The Cooper Institute.

Martial Fitness Kickboxing ? Instructor Training

This course provides group exercise instructors and personal trainers with a very comprehensive training course for kickboxing fitness in the industry. It is beneficial to novices through seasoned kickbox instructors, with a focus on safe, effective and motivation kickboxing fitness training methods and theory. ACE awards 2.2 CECs for the completion of this course.

From a small town all-state linebacker, to a Princeton Magna Cum Laude graduate, Mobil Oil executive, board member and chairman of internationally renowned Wainwright House, to founder of Turning Points, John W. (Jack) Ballard lived a true American success story. On Thursday, February 9, 2006, John W. (Jack) Ballard passed away at his home in Hightstown, New Jersey. His life serves as an example of a life dedicated to the ideal of service to humanity.

Born March 30, 1927, in Mason City, Iowa, Jack Ballard graduated from University City High School in St Louis, Missouri. An all-state Linebacker, he was an Order of the Arrow Eagle Scout who was honored to escort Sir Winston Churchill around St. Louis during a visit to the U.S. during World War II. Upon graduation, Ballard enlisted and served in the U.S. Navy and was offered an athletic scholarship to attend the U.S. Naval Academy at Annapolis. Instead he accepted an academic scholarship at Princeton University. In 1950 he graduated Magna Cum Laude with a degree in International Affairs, then completed his graduate studies at Columbia University Business School, where he earned a Master?s Degree in Economics.

Ballard had a 30-year career with Mobil Oil International, during which he held executive positions in the fields of human resources and energy economics. In 1971, as a personnel manager overseeing 3,000 executives in 100 countries, he assigned himself the ?Human Resources Manager? title ? making him one of the first in corporate America to use the term. His innovative style later gave him the opportunity to head up a landmark project to train Saudi Arabian workers to take over all refinery operations from foreign workers.

Jack met his wife Phoebe on a blind date, and soon began a marriage that lasted 55 years. Ballard?s career took him and his family to over 40 countries and every continent around the world. After retiring, he worked for Mobil as a consultant and trainer, educating mid-level managers worldwide in the economics of the oil industry. Ballard also spent two years ?on loan? to the New York Urban Coalition, where he was responsible for personnel and finance. While at the Coalition, he started an innovative program to allow Harlem residents to own their homes, but soon became disillusioned with the politics that prevented the program from expanding.

During the 50?s the Ballards became involved in the Laymen?s Movement; a group of spiritually-minded businessmen who influenced business leaders to apply their highest values in everyday work. The Receptive Listening Course at Wainwright House was a formative experience for them, where participants quickly discovered that a listener is much more effective if he or she has self-understanding (to listen to another we first need to listen to ourselves). For the next twenty five years, the Ballards were an integral part of Wainwright House. Phoebe served as Assistant Director for years. In 1968 Jack was a trainer in the Innovative Management Program, to ?help the individual manager to become a more mature, creative person who can in turn help others to develop?.

1n 1984, Jack and Phoebe introduced the Turning Points companies – authoring and leading the Third Half of Life (THL) seminars, starting with the “Going for the Gold” life transition workshop. These intensive seminars used narrative assessments and receptive listening exercises to help retiring professionals and their spouses make decisions about how they would live in their golden years. During the 1980′s, the Ballards trained over 400 individuals. They wrote and self-published 2 books, Beating the Age Game – Redefining Retirement and Turning Points – Create Your Path Through Uncertainly and Change. ?They were visible examples, ?pioneers? I called them, of living lives of purpose and meaning, paving the way for their own generation and for the larger cohort of baby-boomers that would follow.? said former Turning Points CEO Steve Ristau, recalling the first time he met Jack & Phoebe Ballard.

More than 20 years after they began, the world has caught up with Phoebe and Jack Ballard. Turning Points is now on the internet, publishing a new edition of the Turning Points book, and rolling out a national network of providers. Their vision is finally coming true. Meg Newhouse is a life coach in Boston, who said of Jack Ballard: ?He had… a wonderful life and very positively impacted a lot of people, including me.? In 2002, Jack and Phoebe?s son Mike took over management of the company. Under his leadership, Turning Points recently completed the Turning Points Navigator? and Career Navigator? online products. When word of Ballard?s death went out, many Turning Points students sent emails, including CU Alumna Myria Crawford, who wrote: ??Your father has left a great legacy in the Turning Points Program.?

In the next 5 years, millions of Americans will reach turning points in their lives, and Turning Points providers nationwide will be positioned to assist them. A new version of the Turning Points book will be out soon, revised and edited to speak to a wider range of adults. College and university career centers continue to add Career Navigator? assessments and workshops to their counseling and course offerings. More students, alumni, and professionals will subscribe to Turning Points Navigator? in order to build the foundation for discovering the meaning and purpose of their lives.

Jack Ballard is survived by his beloved wife Phoebe, three sons, a daughter-in-law, two grandchildren, and many cousins, nieces, nephews and friends. He will be sorely missed and fondly remembered by family and friends alike. A Memorial Service will be held at 11:30am on May 13, 2006 at Round Hill Church in Greenwich, Connecticut to honor the life of a man who dedicated his life to the development of human potential.

About Wainwright House

Wainwright House is not affiliated with any church, religion, or any particular spiritual or philosophical path. It is a sanctuary where all these ideas and cultural traditions can be remembered, re-experienced and re-discovered for the 21st Century. It is one of the original centers of The Human Potential movement, offering a broad spectrum of psychological and philosophical approaches to the development of consciousness and growth of the whole person towards fulfillment and self-actualization.

The roots of Wainwright House go back to 1941, to informal meetings of a small group of business and professional men, who united to deepen their part in building spirituality into the life of the world. In 1949, under Secretary General Trygve Lie, the Movement was responsible for the establishment of a meditation room at the U.N. and for the opening and closing of each General Assembly session with a moment of silent prayer and meditation. It was further instrumental in having a prayer room set aside at the nation?s capitol.

Such notable names as Dwight D. Eisenhower, J.C. Penny, John D. Rockefeller Jr., Francis Sayers, Wallace Spears, Weyman Huckabee, R.W. Woodruff, Conrad Hilton, William Demorest., Dr. Norman Vincent Peale, Gerald Heard, Robert Greenleaf, Jean Houston, Louis Mobley, Ralph Bunche, Laurens Van der Post, Rebecca Beard, Aldous Huxley, Elizabeth Kubler-Ross, Arthur Young, Joseph Campbell and the Dalai Lama have all been associated with this great institution.

The development of affiliations with Hudson River Counseling Services, the Teilhard Association, the C.G. Jung Foundation in New York and others have resulted in the creation of nine learning Centers at Wainwright House. Over the years Wainwright House has become one of the world?s foremost learning institutions in the disciplines of humanistic and transpersonal psychology, offering a wide range of courses, seminars, and conferences.
