January 7, 2012, Bogota, NJ — Fitness Technologies Inc. www.FitnessTechUSA.com, a leading provider of waterproof audio products, announced today the world’s smallest 100% waterproof audio line of products:  the UwaterG4 MP3 Player, UwaterG4X Chrome extra durable MP3 Player and UWaterK7 FM Radio.  The UWater audio line features 100% Waterproof Audio Technology (WAT) and “Twist & Lock” Technology that not only completely seals water out, but also provides crucial long term protection against corrosion — a problem that often damages devices.  Since the Uwater audio line is rated at the highest level IPX water submersion standard — IPX8-certified 100% waterproof up to 10 Feet/3 Meters underwater, you never have to worry about accidentally damaging your MP3 player or radio.  The Uwater world’s smallest waterproof audio line will be introduced at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES), Fitness Technologies Booth #3018, January 10-13, 2012, Las Vegas. 

Patented New UwaterG4X and G4X Chrome – Extra Durable in Salt & Treated Water  

Based on the popular UwaterG2 (debuted at CES 2011), the new patented UwaterG4 MP3 Player now doubles the capacity to 4GB of memory  for 1,000 songs and 10 audio books, and comes in 5 fashion colors Yellow, Red, Blue, Black and Ice White.  The patented UwaterG4 waterproof MP3 player easily clips onto the included armband, goggles, headband, or belt for swim-anywhere/go-anywhere listening pleasure, ending the boredom of swimming laps, letting you enjoy music and audio books while boating, surfing, scuba diving, snorkeling, skiing, in the shower, walking in the rain, or running.  In addition, the UwaterG4 line now features the new extra-durable UwaterG4X Chrome model, which provides extended durability in salt and treated water for a longer life.  

UwaterK7 Light-Weight Waterproof FM Radio Targeted to Seniors & Boomers for Simplest, Safest Exercise – Swimming 

Boomers and Seniors demand for simplicity plus their determination to defeat boredom by listening to music, news, talk, sports while swimming, resulted in the development of the new UwaterK7 world’s smallest 100% waterproof PLL FM radio/receiver, featuring a 1” LCD screen, 19 station presets, precision tuning, great stereo sound, 8 hours of play time, indoor/outdoor reception worldwide, an easy to wear headband attachment, and their famous “twist & lock” stereo earphones that completely seal water out.  The UwaterK7 FM radio now makes it easy for everyone to swim for hours without having to deal with downloading MP3 music.

Targeting Retail Mass Market Channel with 360 Degree Interactive Point of Sale Displays & Packaging  

Because of Fitness Technologies’ new technology advancements, the market for waterproof audio has expanded in the past year to the mainstream mass merchandising market.  To meet this challenge, Fitness Technologies has developed brand new packaging and Point of Sale (POS) displays targeting the retail market with packaging featuring a complete 360 degree surround view of the Uwater line world’s smallest waterproof audio products.  Additionally,  a new Interactive Point Of Purchase Countertop Displays make it easy to get Fitness Technologies’ products in the hands of consumers.  The Uwater Interactive Displays are provided for FREE to dealers with qualified wholesale product purchases.

Philadelphia Inquirer Features SensoGlove – Travel Bargains for the Holiday Season by Alan Solomon!

Philadelphia Inquirer Features SensoGlove – Travel Bargains for the Holiday Season

Senior Traveler: Travel bargains for the holiday season
By Alan Solomon
For The Inquirer

Baseball is over, finally, even for the Phillies. That can mean only one thing.
It’s almost Christmas.

It really is almost Hanukkah. (First light: Dec. 1.)

Calls these gifts, if it makes you feel more seasonal. Think of some of them as potential gifts to yourselves. I think of them as incentives to get us out of town.

Tour companies, cruise lines, hotels, destinations, and marketers of tourist-friendly toys are jumping in early, trying to get a portion of holiday spending onto their bottom lines. What follows are among the dozens of alerts that got my attention.

A disclosure: Not all of these offerings are exclusive to seniors or discounted only for 55-plussers (or, for that matter, discounted for anyone). But I’ve chosen them because they offer something that appeals to us geezers – value, and maybe something a little different.

Grab your credit card (which we keep balance-free, of course), and here we go:

Golf. Golf aids are often curious, but here’s one – with no stated age limit – that offers to correct just about everything in your game for a mere $89 (or about the price of three nights at Excalibur): the SensoGlove. It has built-in sensors that read your grip pressure. “Practicing with SensoGlove will teach you the correct grip pressure for a smooth, consistent swing that delivers greater distance, enhanced precision and lower scores!” This is not a personal endorsement. I haven’t broken 100 since 1997. Just passing it along. www.sensoglove.com.

“FOR LOVE & ART: SHARING WITH SENIORS” BRINGS ART MASTERPIECES TO HOSPICE-BOUND SENIORS WITH DIGITAL FOCI “PHOTO BOOK” DIGITAL ALBUM

  

“FOR LOVE & ART: SHARING WITH SENIORS” BRINGS ART MASTERPIECES TO HOSPICE-BOUND SENIORS WITH DIGITAL FOCI “PHOTO BOOK” DIGITAL ALBUM High-Resolution Digital Photo Book Displays Over 1,000 Piece of Artwork from Smithsonian, Metropolitan, Getty Museum, Dallas Museum of Art,  Art Institute of Chicago, Meadows, Amon Carter, Phillips Collection & Kimbell Museum  Kick-off Charity Event Held Oct. 30 in Dallas, TXLos Angeles, CA, October 25, 2010 – Digital Foci, Inc. www.digitalfoci.com, an award-winning leading provider of digital photography accessories for consumers and professional photographers, announced today that it will be participating in the nationwide “For Love and Art: Sharing with Seniors” (FLASS) project by providing the popular Digital Foci “Photo Book” portable digital photo album at subsidized prices below cost.  Each Digital Foci Photo Book will be filled with images from America’s leading art galleries to be donated to seniors at hospices to enhance their quality of life.  

Over 1,000 Paintings from Van Gogh, Renoir, Monet, Homer & More 

The FLASS project, organized by Mark Lombard, President of Project Fulfillment Touching Our World Foundation, requested the Smithsonian and other leading museums to donate digital photos of masterpieces for this important project.  Current museums committed to participating include The Smithsonian National Gallery of Art in Washington DC, Metropolitan Museum of Art in NY, J. Paul Getty Museum, Dallas Museum of Art, Art Institute of Chicago, and Meadows Museum at SMU, The Amon Carter Museum in Ft. Worth, Phillips Collection in Washington, DC, and the Kimbell Art Museum.  The museums are providing over 1,000 images from van Gogh, Renoir, Monet, Homer, and many more great artists.   

Digital Foci’s Photo Book was chosen by Lombard as the display for the world’s most beautiful artwork because of its crystal clear, high-resolution 8-inch 800 x 600 digital LCD color screen and ample 4GB of internal memory for archiving large amounts of art.  In addition, Photo Book makes it effortless for the elderly and bed-ridden with limited motion to turn pages by just a click of a button.  It even includes a page-turning effect like a real book.  “The choice of using Digital Foci’s Photo Book was in conference with art museum educators,” said Mark Lombard, Founder FLASS.  “Photo Book is the perfect way for seniors to enjoy exquisite artwork in the comfort of their own home or hospice instead of going out to a museum or art gallery.”  

Mr. Lombard envisioned the FLASS project after volunteering at hospices for years.  “In the service of community, sparkling opportunities surprisingly arise.  As a hospice volunteer, I challenged my patient, Miss Billie, to regain enough strength in her failing limbs to allow us to visit the city museum.  Loving art as much as she did, she gave it her best effort, yet could not surmount the toll of her years,” said Lombard.  “So, like the mountain coming to the prophet, I began bringing pieces of the museum — gift shop postcards, etc. — to Miss Billie.  And how she treasured them!  So, I thought, what if we bring artwork to her from around the world, digitally, in a photo album?” 

Renoir’s “Lise in a White Shawl” — FLASS’ Cover Girl

An example of the art classics available digitally through FLASS for the home-bound is Renoir’s “Lise in a White Shaw” — the cover girl for the FLASS project.  Lise was one of Renoir’s favorite models and they came to love each other.  This painting was their last time together and it shows by the love and sadness etched in Lise’s expression.  “Lise in a White Shawl,” currently on display in the Reves Collection at the Dallas Museum of Art, is one of the hundreds of pieces of art that seniors will be now enjoying on Photo Book digital photo albums with the FLASS project.  

FLASS Kick-off Event – October is Art Celebration Month 

The month of October is dedicated to Art Celebration month in Dallas, Texas.  The FLASS Kick-off Event is Saturday, October 30, 2010 at 10:00 AM at the Horchow Auditorium, Dallas Museum of Art in Dallas, TX, where they are expecting more than 300 people from the world of hospice, museum, art and philanthropy.  For FLASS Kick-off Event ticket information, contact Mark Lombard Mark@forloveandart.org  855-4-ART-NOW (1-855-427-8669). 

Donate to “Adopt a Hospice” 

FLASS is asking donors to participate by donating to “Adopt a Hospice.” Each $399 “Adopt a Hospice” donation will provide a digital Photo Book with artwork dedicated with the donor’s name to their choice of hospice.  Donations are 100% tax-deductible.  To donate to “Adopt a Hospice” or for FLASS Kick-off Event ticket information, contact Mark Lombard at: Mark@forloveandart.org.  For more information on FLASS, call 855-4-ART-NOW (1-855-427-8669), see website: www.forloveandart.org or Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/pages/For-Love-and-Art-Sharing-with-Seniors/142258962480908.  For more information on Digital Foci Photo Book, see http://www.digitalfoci.com/photo_book_PBK-080.html or www.digitalfoci.com.
