Learning ZoneXpress is gearing up to promote the second phase of the MyPlate initiative after sending COO Joyce Mattson to USDAs National Strategic Partner Meeting in November 2011. The second of seven themes is Enjoy your food, but eat less.

The company became a National Strategic Partner in June 2011, which means that it has a health mandate consistent with USDAs Center for Nutrition Policy and Promotion (CNPP), agrees to promote CNPPs dietary guideline messages, and has a national reach.

USDA officials helped all of the National Strategic Partners understand the two-year plan for MyPlate, says Mattson of the meeting. The first phase of the plan, running from September to December 2011, was focused on MyPlates central message: Make half your plate fruits and vegetables. The theme of the second phase, which will last from January to April 2012, is Enjoy your food, but eat less. Five more four-month phases will follow, emphasizing foods to eat more of, foods to eat less of, and portion control.

The meeting was motivating, says Mattson. I was fortunate to meet USDA officials face-to-face and to exchange ideas with visionary National Strategic Partners. It definitely reaffirmed our companys commitment to the MyPlate campaign and our contribution to the USDA Partnership.”

Learning ZoneXpress has a solid history of supporting the MyPlate initiative. Weve developed over 40 MyPlate-related products in the past six months, says company CEO Melanie Nelson, and we have ten more to accompany MyPlates second phase. She says that Enjoy your food, but eat less products will be available as the new MyPlate theme kicks in. Twenty-four hours after MyPlate was introduced on June 2, 2011, Learning ZoneXpress had MyPlate posters, handouts, bookmarks, and magnets ready for distribution, she says, promising also that the second phase will be no different.

Nelson notes that her companys MyPlate products are designed to be visually powerful. Studies are clear: visuals bring messages from the back to the front of the mind, she says. You can say, Make half your plate fruits and vegetables. But the point is driven home when you show a plate half-covered with fresh salad and apple slices. Thats why, according to Nelson, most of the companys products will feature engaging photography of proper proportions of real grains, protein, dairy, fruits, and vegetables.

Nelsons only wish is that phase two of MyPlate could have started sooner. We could all use a little help eating less over the holidays! she says. Remember to enjoy your food, but eat less.

To promote staying sharp and remaining active as you age, http://www.SeniorsGuideOnline.com is encouraging seniors to play video games. Research and studies show that video games on the Nintendo Wii and Xbox 360 rank high in strengthening senior health and physical abilities.

Video games are not just for kids anymore and there is a new generation of gamers who are having fun while staying young Senior Citizens. Seniors have become one of the strongest and enthusiastic users of the Nintendo Wii.

Currently many Independent Living, Assisted Living and Skilled Nursing Home have a TV, if not an entire room dedicated to the Nintendo Wii and its activity games. Group video game sessions are a prominent feature on many activity calendars in Retirement Communities in the US. Activities such as these are improving many cognitive abilities of seniors as they age.

In a 2008 study done by the University of Illinois, it was found that adults aged 60-70 years old saw an improvement in multiple cognitive functions by playing strategic video games. Psychology Professor Arthur Kramer served as an author on the study and found positive results from seniors playing video games.

Kramer found, Those who did well in the game also improved the most on switching between tasks. They also tended to do better on tests of working memory. He added, This is one mode in which older people can stay mentally fit, cognitively fit.

In addition to improving the mind, Video Games can also assist in helping the body. Video Games are now beginning to encourage fitness in its players.

Seniors at Chesterfield Heights Retirement Community in Midlothian, Virginia regularly play Wii Bowling as a way to socialize, as well as stay fit and enjoy some of their favorite physical activities. The residents were such big fans of Wii Bowling that they submitted a video to Seniors Guides SENIORS GOT TALENT showcase proclaiming their love of the game.

While many seniors have struggles picking up a bowling ball or remaining active as they once were, video games are helping them to stay young while remaining comfortable. Along with Wii Bowling, part of the Wii Sports game pack, there is also the stand-alone game Wii Fit that includes a balance board and other digital exercise equipment.

A 2010 Study done by researchers at Elon University in North Carolina measured results on the elderly of exergames (video games that incorporated physical exercise) such as Wii Fit. Not only was strength and balance improved significantly, but their Wii Age had decreased as well. Young Adults were also tested in the same study and their characters ages in the game had only improved one year while the seniors improved an average of 8 years.

For seniors that live independently in their homes with nursing assistance from a home care agency, Seniors Guide suggests playing exergames with their home health caregiver or live-in companions. Not only can this improve health, but it can also help build trust between the senior and caregiver.

Its clear that Video Games are becoming a popular addition to a large number of Retirement Communities activity rooms and senior event calendars, says Katharine Ross, Director of Publishing for Seniors Guide Magazine and http://www.SeniorsGuideOnline.com.

As technology becomes more readily available and Baby Boomers become younger seniors, we are going to see more tech-savvy Senior Citizens who know how to and enjoy playing Video Game Home Entertainment Systems, says Ross.

Microsoft has also decided to compete with Nintendos audience by introducing the Kinect bundle for their Xbox 360 systems. Kinect takes the interactive gaming a step further by including a camera so that players can see themselves on screen while interacting with the games. Soccer, Volleyball and many other sports games are included with bundle packs and are fun for the whole family – including older family members.

Seniors Guide encourages playing Video Games as a great way to connect with and help your senior loved one stay active.

I Am Waters non-profit Foundations founder, Elena Davis, invites you to attend a unique and thought-provoking charity luncheon on April 25th, 2012. A whos who of supermodels from the 80s will join Ms. Davis to highlight some surprising parallels in the lives of models and homeless Americans.

I was raised in poverty and was lucky to make my way into the fashion world. I understand what its like to be an object in society under the best and the worst circumstances. There is something about both worlds that for me became disconnected and apart from the mainstream. I know all too well what it means to be a target of judgment, says Elena Davis, whose life experience has spanned the extremes of fortune.

I Am Waters brings together some of the most highly photographed American models in history to discuss the commonalities between these two seemingly disparate groups. The participants will share ideas surrounding the issues of objectification, their insight into the I Am Waters project and how it relates to all of our lives.

Guests of the event are supermodels of the 80s: Cheryl Tiegs, Kim Alexis, Kelly Emberg, Joan Severance, Tara Shannon, Kim Charlton, Diane deWitt, Tony Spinelli and Jack Scalia. All have graced covers of the most established and prestigious magazines in the world, including Vogue, Elle, Cosmopolitan, GQ, Town & Country, Glamour and many others.

Since 2009, the I Am Waters Foundation has established a unique way to engage with the homeless and create a dialogue by organizing portrait photography sessions at various shelters. Photographer, Peter Duke, captures images of homeless men, women and children including families, veterans and the elderly in a positive light. The homeless are frequently portrayed as unfortunate people or objects of pity. We deliberately choose not to do that. says Peter.

The foundation uses these images as a vehicle to talk with individuals about their feelings of being homeless and their prospects for the future. The photos bolster the image homeless have of themselves, while providing a valuable keepsake (many had not seen a their own photograph in years). I Am Waters sees the images as a tool used to dispel stereotypes and bring a human face to an issue that impacts us all.

The mission of I Am Waters is to bring physical and spiritual hydration to American homeless by delivering branded water bottles with messages of HOPE, PEACE, DREAM and LOVE to homeless shelters and service providers. I Am Waters is the only organization of its kind in the United States.

FOUNDER BIO: In the 1980s and 90s, Elena was best known as a top fashion model. For over fifteen years, her image graced the covers of magazines, appeared in ads, on the pages of fashions most prestigious magazines, and she has been in more than 40 national TV commercials. She married Gregg Davis in 1994, and retired from her successful modeling career after the birth of their first child. Since 1997, Gregg and Elena and their three children have called Houston home.

Elena was one of four kids raised by a single mother on less than three thousand dollars a year and food stamps. Elena lived on the margins of society, attended a dozen schools, and finally dropped out of school in the 8th grade to work and support her family. She moved to Paris to pursue modeling at age 16. After a year of modeling overseas, Elena returned back to the States and signed with the renowned Ford Agency.

FOUNDER QUOTE: Homelessness is a national problem that gnaws at our countrys economic recovery and future. I am so impressed and inspired by the many great organizations that help the homeless with housing, job skills and food. I Am Waters compliments these groups with our mission to provide free, clean drinking water to the homeless. Water is the bodys most fundamental need. Our image-based awareness and education campaigns work concurrently to bring a human face to the American homeless to promote compassion and understanding.

On February 24, 2012, Nieto Fine Art a premier San Franciscos fine art gallery will host an opening reception for the work of contemporary artist John Nieto and photographer (and son) John A. Nieto. The reception will be the first-ever showcase for the father-son exhibitions together, which have been (separately) locally and internationally featured and praised for several decades. The evening will highlight the unparalleled level of talent, in one family; from gallery owner Anaya Nietos eye for curating, to John and John A.s painting and photography skills.

John Nieto is one of the countrys most dynamic contemporary artists, whose personal philosophies are a vital element of his consummate style. I employ a subject matter that is familiar and express it the way I see it, Nieto explains. I focus on the use of vibrant color and strong assertive lines. His distinctive style, combination of subject matter, bold comparisons and searing color, is instantly recognizable, and has been showcased in over 40 galleries and museums both local and international.

John A. Nieto, Nietos elder son, has created a name for himself through the lens of a camera. His collection has been featured in dozens of galleries and fundraisers in the San Francisco bay area. The camera provides this perspective to freeze and observe a moment in time that I can assign an emotional impact to, Nieto explains. When that connection happens in a photograph to me, its like getting plugged in to some part of me that ignites pure, raw, magic. Most recently, Nieto has been drawn to photograph dancers, mesmerized by the rhythmic movement of their bodies, as portrayed in his Aquatic Ballet Series shot in Palm Springs, CA.

The combination of my fathers sensitivity with his technical versatility, and my brothers unique approach to capturing exquisite moments in time, has become the vehicle that allows our gallery to transcend the ordinary, says Nieto Fine Art owner and curator Anaya Nieto (Nietos younger son).

The opening reception will take place on February 24, 2012, from 6-8pm at Nieto Fine Art on 565 Sutter Street. All are welcome.

About John Nieto

John Nieto is one of Americas most dynamic contemporary artists, concentrating on themes that transcend mere representation. He utilizes intense primary colors, applied in bold strokes to give dimension and character to the canvas, and employs classic linear techniques to create images of great detail and depth. John Nietos family roots run deep in New Mexico, as it has been his ancestral birthplace for more than 300 years. John and his family have lived in various northern New Mexico towns and now reside in Texas. He has two sons, John A. and Anaya Nieto.

John A. Nieto has been a resident of San Francisco since 1995, where he has remained fascinated by the diversity in this forever-changing town. He prides his work on spontaneity, and capturing fleeting moments of going through life, often with the ones that he claims make it worth living.

About Nieto Fine Art

Nieto Fine Art is the premier art gallery located in downtown San Francisco. The gallery is years in the making, fulfilling the work of brothers Anaya Nieto and John A. Nieto to invigorate the San Francisco fine art community with the works of their father, John Nieto, along with a dynamic line-up of painters and sculptors. Under the Direction of John Haas, Nieto Fine Art commits to bringing fine art shows and a fresh changeable charge of emotion to the community of contemporary artists. Nieto Fine Art is located at 565 Sutter Street. For more information, visit http://www.nietofineart.com or contact the gallery at (415) 393-4511.
