Linda Washington: A Beacon of Hope and Strength for Cancer Survivors

Artist Weekly Staff on March 14, 2022

Battling cancer is undoubtedly one of the most grueling and draining experiences anyone can go through. And while surviving the disease is a momentous achievement, it does not signal the end of a patient’s struggles. Unknown to others, survivors often face a plethora of challenges, especially trying to find some semblance of a normal life after her battle with cancer. Cognizant of this, Linda Washington dedicated her life to motivating others to keep going despite all the hardships.

A lot of people look at cancer survivors as lesser individuals who deserve to be pitied; this is a common yet often undiscussed occurrence. Unfortunately, the inspiring woman has also encountered discrimination and prejudice like so many others.

Courageously sharing her story, Linda Washington said, “I lived through hell when I wanted to date again after breast cancer. I was belittled and talked down to and even told I needed to get used to being treated like this because I wasn’t a real woman anymore. It is a nightmare trying to date after breast cancer.”

These harsh words have brought intense pain and hurt to the breast cancer survivor. Yet, despite that, she did not let the negative memory define her. Instead, she decided to channel her creativity and turn her pain into art. Not only does this allow her to heal from her past trauma, but it also allows her to connect with others who may be going through similar experiences.

The impressive individual utilizes her incredible gift for storytelling to talk about her journey and spread awareness about cancer patients and survivors. As a singer-songwriter, she composes and performs captivating songs like “Missing You.” The multifaceted track highlights sadness and joy with its lyrics which talk about the loss of oneself and about finding love again.

On top of its heartfelt message, the single has a smooth rhythm and melody that fills the hearts of listeners with hope and shows them they can still find love. It features Linda’s exquisite voice alongside the powerful vocals of the talented artist Superstar Lamar.

Aside from creating exceptional music, the proud mother of four has also written Forbidden And Broken Finding Love Behind The Scars. The book chronicles her battle with breast cancer. It details the emotional journey through her fight and her years as a survivor. But most importantly, the author generously shared her story to influence others to think of themselves as a person, not just a disease.

To continue promoting her advocacies, the visionary has founded Strength of a Survivor, a platform where she can interact with her audience. One way that Linda Washington engages the community is through her weekly live streams. In addition, she does various events where she performs her music, such as Open Mics and Music Festivals.

In all of her projects and ventures, the author and musical artist ensures to serve as a beacon of hope to all cancer survivors. As such, the extraordinary visionary remains committed to creating inspiring content as she champions her advocacies and widens her reach.

Linda Washington will also release a new single called “Forever” that fans should look out for. This track is another collaboration featuring Superstar Lamar.

Moissanite vs Diamond – a Worthy Diamond Alternative

Artist Weekly Staff on February 24, 2022

Many people often confuse moissanite with diamond. Well, moissanite is a synthetic gemstone that looks like a diamond, but it is not the same thing as a diamond. It has many of the same characteristics and uses as diamonds. However, it does not have the qualities and features of natural diamonds as discussed here: https://www.moissaniteco.com/moissanite-vs-diamond.

So what is the difference between Moissanite and diamonds? What makes them different from each other? Moissanite is a form of synthetic gemstone that has high brilliance and fire. A French physicist Henri Moissan discovered moissanite in 1879. Later on, researchers found this stone to comprise Silicon Carbide (SiC) and since then, people manufacture it in the laboratories.

Diamond and Emerging Alternatives

Diamonds are natural stones composed mostly of carbon atoms arranged in a crystal lattice structure. They are also gemstones because they are precious. The first known use of diamond dates back to 5000 BC when Egyptians used it for rings and earrings. In ancient times, diamonds were magical and mystical. In fact, people believed that diamonds brought good luck and prosperity.

For a long period, diamonds were only available to royalty and rich people. However, in the last few centuries, their popularity increased tremendously. Today, almost everyone owns at least one piece of jewelry made out of diamonds. However, there are alternatives to diamonds that can give you similar results. One of them is moissanite.

How does Moissanite Compare to Diamond?

Due to their close resemblance, diamond and moissanite confuse many people. This is especially if they have not taken the time to study their differences. So let us look at the differences between these two gems:

· Hardness

The main difference between diamonds and moissanite is that moissanite has higher hardness than diamonds. This means that moissanite is harder than diamonds. So if you want something that will look and feel just like a real diamond, go for moissanite. If you want something that is more durable and lasts longer, choose diamond.

· Colors

Both moissanite and diamonds come in various colors. For instance, diamonds are usually white, yellow, brown, blue, pink, red, green, orange, purple, or black. On the other hand, moissanite comes in shades such as light gray, dark gray, rose gold, silver, gold, platinum, or even white. You can find moissanite in any color you want.

· Clarity

Both Moissanite and diamonds are clear. They do not contain any imperfections or flaws. However, moissanite is much clearer than diamonds. That is why moissanite is preferred over diamonds by most jewelers.

· Luster

These two gemstones have good brightness and a shiny look. However, improved manufacturing processes make moissanite have more luster than diamonds. Therefore, moissanite tends to have a little more fire and brilliance than natural diamonds.

· Weight

Diamonds weigh about 0.3 grams per carat, while moissanite weighs around 0.2 grams per carat. This means that moissonite is lighter than diamonds. In that case, moissanite is your choice for lightweight applications and use.

· Cutting

Determining how well a stone cut is very important. When you buy a diamond, you need to know whether the cut is good or poor. With moissanite, you do not need to worry about this. Since moissanite looks so similar to diamonds, you will not notice any difference in its cutting.

· Durability

Moissanite is more durable than diamonds. This is due to its superior quality. It does not scratch easily, and it does not break easily either. As a result, moissanite is less likely to lose its value compared to diamonds. For that reason, it is something to consider when choosing between moissanite and diamond.

· Price

Diamonds are expensive. In addition, since they are rare, they tend to cost a lot of money. On the other hand, moissanite is affordable. It costs less than half of what a diamond would cost. Most importantly, it gives you diamond-like properties at an affordable cost.

So which gemstone should you prefer? Well, both moissanite and diamonds can do wonders for your appearance. Both of them are great choices. However, when it comes to durability at an affordable cost, Moissanite is better. Therefore, if you want something with a long lifespan and high resistance to scratching, then opt for moissanite. Otherwise, if you want something flashy and sparkly, then go for diamonds.

‘The Pennymores’ Is A Kids’ Fantasy Book For A ‘Fahrenheit 451’ World

Artist Weekly Staff on February 24, 2022

Parker Pennymore is a spunky, rebellious eleven-year-old girl. Sure she’s got issues with bullies, tutors, and authority, but at this age who doesn’t? After her second expulsion and her fourth tutor quitting, Parker’s parents decide to send her away to live with her aunt. And Parker is having none of that, so she decides to make her own plan and late one night she plans a heist to break into a hidden room in the castle. Instantly her life changes forever. That’s where this adventure story begins as Parker uncovers a hidden world of magic writers (in the story you write magic with a quill), learns of deep family secrets, and sets off on a journey with her sisters Quinn and Aven to uncover the truth. Along the way, we meet a cast of characters including the Plumes (a secret society of other kid-writers) and magic creatures who help them throughout Fonde.

Perhaps the best part of this world is the unique twist that all writing is banned, and has been for centuries. Imagine how a world operates without writing – no chalkboards or essays in school, no library books, no pencils or pens, no prices on items for sale, and even no way to send a message besides a game of telephone between teenagers (the News Callers). Not only was it fun and delightful to imagine a world without writing, but it also creates a perfect setting for conflict as a group of anti-writing zealots called the Illiterates enforces the rules with zest… and Parker’s nemesis Cassandra Waddle becomes the perfect foil to Parker’s plans in the book. (And while banning writing sounds pretty extreme, once you think of some of today’s news about book banning and burning it makes some real sense.)

Overall this setting creates a series of fun, quirky, and exciting opportunities for the book – and becomes on full display when it’s revealed that magic writers have been living in plain sight for centuries. The book’s use of quills (rather than wands) and fingernails (as a writing surface to direct the magic) is unique and conjures a very different approach to magic. Many books in this genre are retellings of the magical school idea, but the Pennymores leans into its writing origins to share a world of hidden libraries as the centerpiece of the story (librarians of the world rejoice)! In addition, the Pennymores offers welcome complexity to the conflicts they face as you can understand and empathize with the ‘bad guys’ as much as you still root for our heroes.

But it’s the dynamic between Parker, Quinn, and Aven that drives this book. Quinn, the eldest, is an inventor and fixer, and we learn of her inventions including a doughnut launcher and a spring-powered underground roller coaster. Parker, the middle sister, has a fear of public speaking which is a problem when writing is banned. She wants nothing more to write and the world, and particularly the Illiterates, have made quite dangerous. Aven is the comic relief with her snappy one-liners and a passion for wolves that lead to howling at inopportune times throughout the book. The family dynamic just works, and anyone with a sibling will relate to the quips, barbs, jabs, and joys they have together.

The Pennymores is at its heart an adventure story, and readers will find themselves feeling that constant momentum forward as the mysteries and secrets are masterfully revealed. This takes us on a series of adventures – to discover their home kingdom of Everly, to explore the magical world of Fonde, and eventually to try and save the world (of course a great adventure story requires some world-saving, right?) But each step of the way it’s like another entire layer is revealed to us, making you want to know and experience more. It’s well set up to hint at what’s in this world, and leave so much room to continue the exploration. Thanks to several fun twists, the book has a satisfying ending but leaves questions for more books in the series (which Koester admits are in the works).

A fantastic tale is deftly woven together by the author Eric Koester. Like Percy Jackson, it was written with the help of Koester’s daughters which adds that same authenticity and delight we get from Percy. The book is written for young adults (middle grade 8-12), but as an adult reader, it’s fun and engaging, and filled with subtle elements as you’d find in a Disney movie for the adults in the room. Plus there’s a really important lesson and topic for discussion woven in here about the importance of words, writing, and books—especially as we see the recent backlash against controversial books. It doesn’t bang you over the head like in Fahrenheit 451, but it’s enough that parents and children can use to discuss current events.

Look out Percy and Harry Potter because the Pennymore siblings are ready for their time. As a writer and storyteller, Parker narrates the story in a fun, authentic way using story elements she’s learned including Dramatic Irony and Plot Twist (which the book has multiple times over to keep the reader on her toes.) Parker knows heroes must go on these adventures and quests, but her companions and the interplay between them make this hero’s journey stand out.

A terrific book for sure that has me buying a feather quill and an inkwell to see if I can write a little magic myself. Perfect for any Potterheads, Demigods, Narnia-fans, or Hobbit lovers. Absolutely worth the read! 9.5+ of 10

Kimberly Cloud Opens Streaming Network to Help Artists and Businesses

Artist Weekly Staff on February 24, 2022

Some go into business to enrich themselves. Then some seek to help others. Lastly, there are those like Kimberly Cloud who can achieve both. After running and growing three successful businesses, Kimberly is opening a streaming network to put commercials on TV. This new service hopes to be a platform for inspiring authors, writers, artists, entrepreneurs, and businesses just getting off the ground.

Kimberly Michelle Cloud is the CEO and owner of Blue Cloud Cleaning Company LLC, Genuinely Michelle Wigs LLC, and Wigs For Success Inc—three businesses on an all-time high. Today, she has added to that portfolio by becoming a producer at the Santa Maria Community TV Network and Santa Barbara TV Network. She helps put stories about the past, present, and future onto local television. She does this to broaden and help build Santa Maria by having more people from all over the world come here to watch their shows or help support small businesses. In addition, each artist or brand Kimberly works with will be given an option for a thirty-second commercial, and they will be given the option of doing a ten to thirty-minute interview.

The brilliant CEO believes that she sees so many ways to give back to her clients and people in general. Kimberly will have a job fair for Blue Cloud Cleaning LLC in May, and right now, she is starting all over the board to help build a business plan to become a franchisee again. She is also going to a distributor In Los Angeles to get some wigs for Genuinely Michelle wigs LLC and is currently building a business plan for that. Wigs for Success is something she is building every day through networking and working with the Lions Club people with their Chamber of Commerce.

Aside from having three thriving businesses, she is known to be an inventor, author, journalist, blogger, coach, podcaster, and now a producer. She considers it a great honor to work beside Steven Paschke and Alan Sutterfield. Currently, Kimberly Cloud has enhanced her craft by going to a film school. That is why she is learning how to edit and put out productive media footage. She has a mini-documentary coming out soon for class.

As more and more clients are satisfied with her service, she will be present on more platforms than one by getting her community geared towards entrepreneurs who want their story out there.

“If you are feeling like you cannot get your story out there, I can help catapult you to the next level with all of the contacts I know and not only that, I can also personally coach you to the next level,” shares Kimberly Cloud.

As Kimberly grows and expands Santa Maria Community TV Network and Santa Barbara TV Network’s reach, she hopes to attract and invite more entrepreneurs, artists, authors, writers, inventors, CEOs, owners of small businesses and large-scale businesses. Kimberly Cloud’s primary motivation is to help the community and the world find peace from the COVID-19 pandemic and other horrific things going on in the world. Years from now, Kimberly envisions the company reaching a significant amount of money while helping save the world in other ways.

New North American Player in the Adhesive and Sealant Market Making Waves in a Well-Established Industry

Artist Weekly Staff on January 15, 2022

Businesses continue to spring up daily with different goals, milestones, and priorities. For many businesses, it is profit first for them, while for some, they put their customers first; and that’s a working strategy many new businesses have chosen to adopt. National Adhesive is one of the staunchest advocates for a customer-oriented approach to business, and as an adhesive, sealants, and tapes production company, its fresh approach to doing business has set it apart.

National Adhesive Inc. operates solely on the principle of understanding its customers’ needs. In furtherance of that principle, the company has launched a new knowledge-based interactive platform that fully informs customers what product to buy, how to use it, where to use it, and when to use it. Other factors that set National Adhesive Inc. apart are its wide range of products and the quality they deliver to customers.

With three years of experience in the USA adhesive market and 25 years of experience in the marketing industry, while working with an African partner for the last 25 years, National Adhesive Inc. strongly believes it has all the strategies it needs to improve customer experience on lock. A spokesperson for the company said, “We stand for making things easy. Everything we do revolves around that one statement and the questions we ask. How do we make it easier for our customers and provide flawless services to our customers? We are not an adhesive company; we are a marketing and customer focus company providing a solution to consumers in the adhesive and sealant market.”

National Adhesive Inc. has gained a lot of traction in North America, enough to place it in the league of the most prominent players. For the rest of the year and the next few months, its goal is to get its products stocked by the biggest retailers and departmental stores. The company also intends to get to a pole position where it can favorably compete with every major adhesive and sealant brand in the United States.

Entering a market and quickly rising to the top of the market are things that are not very common in business, but National Adhesive Inc. has gotten it right with its business model. Its customer-centric approach is also poised to get the company more customers and drive its growth in the multi-billion dollar industry.

Over the next few years, the directors at National Adhesive Inc. see the company doing millions in sales and gaining hundreds of thousands of customers in North America, Europe, and other parts of the world. “We have a strong passion for simplicity and making the process of buying and using our products hassle-free,” a spokesperson for the company said. “The level of growth we have enjoyed in the last three years have given us all the motivation we need to stick to our approach and improve as necessary as we proceed on this journey.”Learn more about National Adhesive Inc. on the company’s website.

Yacht Hampton Disrupts the Boating Industry Expanding to West Palm Beach

Artist Weekly Staff on January 12, 2022

The COVID-19 pandemic paved the way for many new things in the world, especially how people have fun, relax and connect with other people. Yachting, which has always been reminiscent of the summer season, has found challenges in the last few months. There is an increase in demand for boats, and that demand was barely met, which necessitated one business to step up and fill that void. Yacht Hampton rose to the occasion with its impeccable fleet of boats that bore another arm of the business, Yacht Hampton, which has now become a staple for Hamptonites and is now traveling to other parts of the United States.

Yacht Hampton (formerly known as Hamptons Boat Rental) is one of the winners during the summer due to a spike in the demand for boat rentals. The successful company and its boating club have set their sights on conquering new emerging markets.

Yacht Hampton takes pride in giving Hamptonites a new way to boat with its done-for-you service that offers different packages to its customers. The packages are designed to give people access to its luxury fleet of boats without having them plan all the details by themselves. All the company requires customers to do is choose the package that suits their lifestyles and then sit back to enjoy the variety of experiences and incredible places aboard their chosen yachts and boats. “We’ll take you sightseeing, water skiing, or just cruising…or you can create a personal membership experience customized to accommodate your special summer calendar,” Joe Ialacci, the owner, said.

Yacht Hampton is well on course to enter new luxury locations and extend its remarkable services to other parts of the United States. The mandate to deliver exceptional boat services to people who don’t own boats while making them feel like they own a boat is one that the boat rental and club have upheld over the last few months.

Yacht Hampton caters to all its customers’ boat rings, including corporate events, birthdays, weddings, anniversaries, bachelorette parties, sunset cruises, and other special occasions. The company also provides a USCG-licensed captain for all charters while ensuring that each excursion is unique and offers all the luxury that customers crave in a boating experience.

Yacht Hampton boasts over 11 boats and yachts which are all available for viewing here. The company’s other differentiating factor is that it owns its entire boat fleet, which allows customers access to a service with a competitive cost advantage.

The demand for boats all over the Hamptons and beyond has not stopped, and it is the biggest influence in Yacht Hampton’s decision to take its services to other places and expand the company.

“The idea to start the club was “customer-driven,” Joe Ialacci said. “And now that we have their attention, we will do all we can to be at their beck and call over here and other places they might be,” he added.

Joe Ialacci’s goal for Yacht Hampton is to be a dominant player in South Florida and the Hamptons in New York.

VizAeras: Championing the Importance of Indoor Air and Pollution Monitoring and Creating Healthier Spaces for Building Occupants

Artist Weekly Staff on December 7, 2021

Health is wealth, as they say, and in these unprecedented times, people have become more conscious about taking care of their bodies and boosting their immune systems. However, in pursuing a healthier lifestyle, the cleanliness of one’s environment is often overlooked, most especially indoor air quality. As such, innovative venture VizAeras has created indor, a groundbreaking product that monitors indoor environmental quality.

As it stands, the majority of the public assume that the air inside their homes and workspaces is safe to breathe in; however, this is not always the case. There may be several factors that contribute to elevated pollution levels indoors.

Statistics show that people spend as much as 90% of their time behind closed doors. On top of that, an average person takes approximately 20,000 breaths each day. Therefore inhaling air with pollutants and harmful chemicals has a direct and consequential impact on one’s health, well-being, personal productivity, test scores, and even business profits.

Staying true to its name, which means “Visual Air,” VizAeras has made it its mission to promote transparency, awareness, and access to healthy building conditions. In addition, the outstanding brand aims to help create safer, healthier, and more productive spaces for those who occupy them.

Its flagship product indor utilizes a patent-pending platform technology together with state-of-the-art monitoring capabilities. Thus, even before its users enter any specific room, the product can tell them the contents present in the air and identify and measure harmful indoor pollution levels.

Furthermore, the small hardware gadget has separated itself from the competition as the only device that allows for straightforward remote monitoring and quick-scan QR code access for any commercial building. It also has a user-friendly share and compare feature that allows users to check the indoor pollution exposure at their frequently visited or favorite spots.

Due to its promising concept and potential to create a significant contribution to society, its remarkable product Indor was recently hailed as the “Best IoT Indoor Air Quality Monitor” at the annual IMPACT 21 digital marketing conference.

Despite making great strides in advancing the conversation surrounding clean air indoors, the award-winning project still has a ways to go. Because of this, VizAeras has created a campaign on the crowdfunding platform StartEngine to continue the development and support the initial launch of its product.

Indor could not have come at a better time as the threat of COVID-19 continues to loom on the horizon. In response to the pressing issue, California governor Gavin Newsom recently signed California Assembly Bill 841, which requires indoor air quality monitors to measure CO2 levels in every classroom in the state. Other states are also planning to pass similar ordinances for public indoor spaces such as retail stores and locations.

It won’t come as a surprise when indoor environmental quality devices become a staple in buildings and homes soon. Cognizant of this, VizAeras remains steadfast in fulfilling its goal of providing the most effective and efficient option in the market. While Google mapped “The Great Outdoors”, VizAeras intends to map and track IEQ conditions for “The Great Indoors” where we live, work, learn, heal, pray, and play.

More information about VizAeras can be found on its website here. You can also watch this YouTube video to learn more about the indôr product and support the brand’s crowdfunding efforts at StartEngine.
