The project is underpinned by the belief that companionship is critical for the welfare of older adults

New York, NY – February 17, 2020 /MarketersMedia/ —

There are 2 main problems today’s society faces: isolation and loneliness. In the past 10 years, social media became really popular, but it only aggravated the issue instead of mending it. A study commissioned by US health insurance company Cigna established that 46% of Americans feel lonely. Additionally, researchers concluded that the effect loneliness has on mortality equals the impact of smoking 15 cigarettes daily. While the problem appears to be spreading among younger generations due to the demands and complexities of life in the 21st century, the issue came to prominence courtesy of various studies focused on senior citizens. As one report noted, “There is strong evidence that many older adults feel isolated, and that loneliness is associated with poor health and higher rates of mortality.” It was media coverage of one such study that pushed Nevan Donahue and his wife, Sarah Berner, into action, inspiring them to launch The Real Senior Prom.

The project is underpinned by the belief that companionship is critical for the welfare of older adults and works even better when combined with age-appropriate physical activity. Given the social nature of human beings, face-to-face interaction and joint pursuits logically emerge as part of the solution, according to James Nevan Donahue. Following a memorable personal experience, he and Sarah had an epiphany: music and dance are nearly unrivaled when it comes to bringing people together, creating energy, positivity, and sheer entertainment value for everyone involved. The couple realized that such parties would be even more beneficial for seniors as the gatherings would provide much-needed companionship – an element sorely lacking in the lives of this demographic.

As Nevan Donahue often points out, The Real Senior Prom is intended to be “a party that integrates all ages and generations.” Moreover, it is not burdened by any of the considerations and concerns associated with proms: outfits, hairdos, and dates are irrelevant, as are dance skills. The aim is simply to get everyone involved in the fun, using music and dance to foster a sense of companionship while producing some physical benefits along the way. With assistance from a live band, the project hurls people into the whirlwind of dance, lighting up senior homes, centers, and residences with a burst of positivity, amusement, and energy. The motivation of the founders is perhaps best summed up by this statement: “The Real Senior Prom was created because everyone needs and deserves a killer dance party.”

Beyond the Local Church was nominated as one of the thirty finalists of the annual Reader’s Choice competition.

Aliso Viejo, CA – February 17, 2020 /MarketersMedia/ —

Tony Amaradio, well-known financial consultant, is one of the many who praised Sam Metcalf for his Beyond the Local Church: How Apostolic Movements Can Change the World book. Metcalf was declared the winner of the IVP Books. Amaradio, known for his time as host of the radio show Market Talk and for his eye-opening book, Faithful With Much: Breaking Down the Barriers to Generous Giving, commended Metcalf for bringing attention to important apostolic movements that expand the church through social activism and advocacy.

Of the 113 titles published between October 2015 and September 2016 by InterVarsity Press, an extension of InterVarsity Christian Fellowship/USA, Beyond the Local Church was nominated as one of the thirty finalists of the annual Reader’s Choice competition. When official voting closed on December 9, after a record setting 2,674 votes, Sam Metcalf’s most recent publication was declared the winner of the IVP Books category, which had finalists in categories including Christian living, discipleship, evangelism, missions, apologetics and cultural critiques. Prefaced with a forward written by Alan Hirsch, the founder of the missional church movement, the book intends to challenge the misconception that apostolic personalities – those outside local churches – cannot operate interdependently with already established religious organizations. Metcalf argues that when these two structures work together, they unleash gospel movements that thrive, prosper, and bring many to Christ.

Tony Amaradio recommends Beyond the Local Church for the many who may have drifted from their local church communities, but have not given up on God or Christianity. Often, these congregations are simply not the best context for missional people who instead require discipleship in the form of the relief, development and support of others in order to live out their sense of God’s call. Amaradio appreciates Metcalf’s approach of providing biblical foundations for mission movements, showing that what has often been called “parachurch” is an equally valid manifestation of the church. Visionary apostolic personalities are shown to have the capability to cross cultural barriers, renew secular societies, and transform nations with the power of the gospel.

The founder of two major asset management companies, Tony Amaradio is a financial expert and strategic philanthropist known for consulting large charitable foundations. A graduate of the University of Detroit, receiving an MBA with a concentration in Finance and Taxation, Amaradio launched his own firm, where he developed a groundbreaking comprehensive wealth management model. Upon realizing professional success, he together with his wife, Carin, decided to dedicate themselves to the support of charitable causes, nonprofit organizations, and others in need. In 2009 the couple coauthored the book, Faithful with Much: Breaking Down the Barriers to Generous Giving, in which they share their compelling journey to understanding God’s heart about money and possessions.

Personal finance tips are essential for individuals who have just started investing, for maintaining a healthy budget, and for securing a financially healthy future. These tips from experts will help investors easily take action towards achieving their goals.

Chicago, United States – February 17, 2020 /MarketersMedia/ —

Investing in funds is not at all an arduous task and anyone can secure market returns if correct techniques are employed. Managing your personal finances can be a breeze for beginners and experts alike if they learn to make the most of their money and save for the future. There are a few personal finance tips shared by Just Start Investing that can be effective for beginners to invest their money smartly and efficiently to earn market returns.

Few personal finance pieces of advice are easier to comply with for beginners. The first tip is to know your net worth. An individual should have an actual measure of his/her net worth so that they can determine where and how much they should invest.

The second tip for securing a better financial future is to opt for a 3 fund portfolio. Also known as a lazy portfolio, this strategy focuses on investing in three avenues or funds. 3 fund portfolios involve allocating assets for each of these funds, which typically are a US equity fund, international equity fund and bond fund. It is a simple form of investing, where there are no hassles of monitoring multiple investment plans. Furthermore, it yields solid returns as it is diversified and strikes a balance with market returns by keeping initial costs low.

The third advice rendered by Just Start Investing directs first-time investors in drafting out a budget that can best secure their financial needs. Creating a budget can be a chore but has enormous benefits. It can be an effective tool to impart financial clarity and encourage saving over frivolous spending.

Pro tips like building a 3 fund portfolio and maintaining a budget can be attainable only if the individual in question puts a check on his/her spending habits. Extravagant spending can lead any investor astray from their plan. Therefore a full-proof personal finance plan for beginners requires them to start with judicious wealth management and financial prudence.
Just Start Investing further stresses that in order to secure a better tomorrow, individuals should create a plan before investing.
