Sample Press Release for Organic Health Brand

Sample Press Release for an organic product and health supplement such as a herbal or botanical alternative medicine.

Re-Discovering Narra: Nature's Immune Booster

Narra, the Philippines’ National Tree is known for its termite-resistant hardwood and its rose scent, thus the English name Rosewood. Any furniture made of narra is sure to outlive many generations. Other by-products of narra are shampoos, wax cleaning agents and medicines from the leaves and flowers. But did you know that narra is also known to have healing properties?

“Narra is known to be a very effective antioxidant, particularly a blood purifier”, says Dr. Sonny A. Viloria, General Practitioner and Natural Therapist, and strong supporter of narra. ”It is good for those with conditions of hormonal imbalance, and prostate problems. It also helps lose weight,” he adds. Dr. Viloria is one of the pioneers and strong supporter of the practice of “Natural Medicine” in the Philippines. He has been an advocate for narra since he came back from Australia in 1992, after earning his diploma in Therapies and Traditional Chinese Medicine from Australia. He was connected with the Department of Health as a technical consultant, where they started traditional medicine, now known as Phil. Institute of Traditional and Alternative Health Care. His exposure to traditional Chinese medicine started as a child because he was always brought to Binondo when he was sick, not in hospitals. His parents, particularly his mother, also benefitted from traditional Chinese medicine.

Dr. Viloria continues to help a lot of patients, with testimonies mostly for diabetes cases. Other conditions narra has helped improve are prostate problems, and lung and breast cancers. He stresses, however, that the intake of narra does not replace the intake of regular prescribed medication. Narra acts more as an immune booster which enhances what your body naturally has. It targets whatever is unbalanced in the body, as in cases of hypertension, hyper/hypoglycemia, acne, cancer, etc. This intelligent food supplement equalizes and optimizes your natural immune system to fight these illnesses. It is your way of healing yourself naturally. Extensive research has shown that the phytochemicals in narra have been found to have anti-cancer, anti-diabetic, tumor-represant, anti-HIV agent, and an extremely potent fungicide.

Having cited all the conditions narra helps improve, does this mean this food supplement is only for those who are sick? “One does not necessarily have to be sick to take narra. Ordinarily, anybody can take narra as an antioxidant to help prevent illnesses by boosting your immune system. Make it a part of a healthy lifestyle,” Dr. Viloria recommends.

So what constitutes a healthy lifestyle?  
“Stress is a problem nowadays …,” Dr. Viloria continues. “We are faced with different kinds of stress … not just work-related, there’s also biochemical stress – from chemicals, from food intake, emotional stress, pattern of lifestyle – losing sleep, drinking, smoking … everything that constitutes an unhealthy lifestyle. Losing sleep or irregular sleeping patterns also causes one to age faster and lowers the immune system. When it comes to food, a lot are processed, no longer natural. That is why antioxidants are needed,” he explains. “To live a healthy lifestyle means taking care of your body with enough rest, exercise, eating the right food, drinking enough water and taking only natural food supplements.”  

You can now avail of the benefits this patented, immune booster food supplement brings through Natursentials Rosewood (Narra Bark & Wood Food Supplement) available in tea and capsules only at Naturteq Direct Inc. For more information, you may contact Naturteq Direct Inc. at telephone no. 4709980, visit their website at www.naturteq.com or email at inquiry@naturteq.com

Sample Press Release for Adult Diapers

Sample Press Release for Adult Diaper Product or health hygiene product line

Life Begins When Worries End




Being a grandparent has its privileges - all the joys of spending time with your grandchildren minus the full-time responsibilities of parents.

They say life can’t get any better than this.

But grandchildren can be a handful. They have boundless energy and keeping up with them can be a challenge. As we know, age may limit your mobility. Especially if you are one of the millions of Filipinos with incontinence.

Incontinence is a condition that may be brought about by age, heart disease and other ailments common in the elderly. Incontinence is having insufficient voluntary control of the bladder or bowels. The condition varies depending on the person. However, it is more common in women than in men.

Incontinence can hinder the joys of being a grandparent. Going out and having fun may cause more worries than enjoyment. Every trip outside may become a series of what if’s. What if I wet myself? What if I embarrass my apo? What if people laugh at me?

The good news is that there is a way to manage incontinence. If there’s prescription glasses for myopia, there’s Dr. P Adult Diapers for incontinence.

Dr. P is the number 1 Adult diaper brand in the Philippines. It comes in three variants, Dr. P Basic for light to moderate incontinence, Dr. P Day Use for heavy incontinence and Dr. P Maxi Overnight for extra heavy incontinence or overnight use.

Dr. P is designed for maximum comfort and convenience. It has adjustable tapes for a better fit, wetness indicator, leak guards and waistband to prevent leakage. It offers maximum absorbency and protection, and first in the Philippines that introduced anti-bacterial properties to prevent skin irritation and neutralize unpleasant odors.

With Dr. P protection, there’s no need to worry. You can go ahead have a good time with your grandkids.

Sample Press Release for Naming of New Director

Sample Press Release for Naming of New Director in applications department

Smart CEO named director of Wholesale Applications Community

Smart Communications Inc. president and chief executive officer Napoleon L. Nazareno has been named member of the board of directors of the Wholesale applications Community (WAC), an alliance of telecommunications companies worldwide committed to building an open applications platform.

Smart is the only Southeast Asian telecommunications company represented in the board of the WAC.

WAC recently announced its formation as a corporate entity, as well as the organization’s leadership and board of directors. The company also announced that it will join forces with the Joint Innovation Lab (JIL), accelerating the commercial launch of WAC-enabled application stores.

“The creation of WAC opens up many possibilities that promise to deliver enormous benefits for mobile phone users. That is why Smart is proud to be part of this organization,” Nazareno said.

“WAC will promote the development of more applications and services via an open platform for mobile applications. By creating a wholesale applications ecosystem that will make it easier for developers to market their innovations, subscribers will ultimately benefit from the wider array of choices and value-for-money applications and services. Smart will focus on applications that address the need of subscribers in emerging markets, particularly prepaid users”, he added.

Nazareno joins a distinguished line-up of officers and members of the WAC board of directors.

At launch, WAC will allow operators to distribute applications through their respective application storefronts and charge users through their existing phone bill. In this model, developers will set the application price and will receive a revenue share for the transaction.

The revenue share will be defined on an operator-by-operator basis. This will ensure that revenue shares will be competitive in today’s application market.

WAC is a not-for-profit organization and will receive a small transaction fee for each application to cover its operating costs.

In the future, WAC will offer business models that enable additional purchases from within an application; leverage network capabilities, such as location, to enhance an application; and facilitate the serving of advertisements to end users.

Sample Press Release for New Product Price

Sample Press Release for New Product Pricing


Tesco Confirms New Milk Price

Tesco has today announced that it will continue to pay dairy farmers a consistently strong price for the milk it buys from the Tesco Sustainable Dairy Group farmer members.

Tesco has confirmed a price of up to 26.90 pence per litre from 1st April 2010, for six months, following an independent review of Tesco farmer production costs by Promar, the research consultancy specialising in agricultural and agri-food sectors.

The 800 farmer members of the Tesco Sustainable Dairy Group (TSDG) continue to benefit from Tesco’s pledge to recognise the true cost of production with additional provisions for making a profit including capital investment and un-paid family labour.

The new price continues to be considerably above the current market value and has been very well received by the dairy industry. Now entering its fourth year, the Tesco Sustainable Dairy Group was established to address the huge uncertainty faced by dairy farmers caused by continuing volatility in the markets, and ensure our farmers are paid above the cost of the milk production.

Tesco Board Director, Lucy Neville-Rolfe said; “The Tesco Sustainable Dairy Group has quickly proved to be a valuable and successful scheme for both dairy farmers and Tesco. It is vital for the long term future of the industry that farmers are able to invest and plan ahead.”

“It is heartening to see that since we launched the scheme many of our farmers have been able to do just this – we are seeing investment in farm expansions, new technologies and herd growth. This is great news for the industry and we remain committed to ensuring our farmers receive a fair price for the milk they supply to Tesco.”

Andy Bloor, Farmer Committee Chairman said; "We are now four years into the partnership with Tesco and this announcement re-affirms the long term commitment Tesco has to the TSDG Membership. We are operating in a volatile market but the relationship we have is providing the confidence and stability we need to invest in the future."

The cost tracker review ensures Tesco pays farmers on an accurate cost of production, including unpaid family labour and depreciation – rather than led by market forces. Since the programme launched in 2007, farmer members producing one million litres per annum have benefited by at least £62,500 over and above the average British milk price*. This equates to a total investment of £50,000,000 by Tesco.

Gwyn Jones, departing NFU Dairy Board Chairman, said: “Tesco’s arrangement with its dairy farmers has been a major influence in managing volatility in the UK liquid market, providing much needed stability. Tesco has not only honoured their commitment to pay a milk price based on the true cost of production, but has also invested in its dairy farmer suppliers and in research and development through the Tesco Dairy Centre of Excellence.”

Tesco farmers voted once again on the success of the Tesco Sustainable Dairy Group by Tesco’s regular survey with the farmers to understand how they felt the group was working for them. 83% of farmers surveyed think that their membership of the TSDG has had a positive influence on their future production plans with 93% believing that Tesco is committed to the TSDG. Finally, 84% also said that there is a high level of morale within TSDG farms right now.

Bartell Drugs celebrates 113th anniversary with a special promotion and a new store

A special Memorial Day weekend promotion at Seattle’s Museum of History and Industry (MOHAI) and a highly anticipated store opening in Edmonds help mark Bartell Drugs’ 113th anniversary this month.

In recognition of the anniversary, Bartell Drugs has teamed up with MOHAI to offer a reduced admission of $1.13 May 24-26. A display featuring Bartell Drug Company memorabilia will be located in museum’s lobby, where visitors can also enter to win an authentic 1890 silver dollar.

Coinciding with the anniversary, the 51-store chain will open a new store in Edmonds on May 27. The 15,000 square-foot store with drive-through services will be located at Southwest 100th and Edmonds Way (SR104).

Founded in 1890 by George H. Bartell, the company is the oldest drugstore chain in the United States. It has had the distinction of being the first discount pharmacy in Seattle, the first chain in the west with in-store soda fountains and film development, and the nation’s first drugstore in a major regional shopping center—Seattle’s Northgate Mall. The company has been headed by three generations of Bartell’s—George H. Bartell, George H. Bartell Jr. and George D. Bartell.

In honor of its anniversary, Bartell’s will also be offering savings on advertised specials in their weekly fliers during the month of May.

Also under way in 2003 is a major reconfiguration and expansion of Bartell’s store at Seattle’s University Village in conjunction with the mall’s redevelopment plans. The store remains open and the project is due for completion this fall.  

The Bartell Drug Company is the nation’s oldest drugstore chain. The family-owned company has 51 stores in King, Snohomish, and Pierce counties.

Adidas Originals celebrates “60 Years of Soles and Stripes” - Launch of spring/summer 2009 collection and campaign at Milan Fashion Week

In spring/summer 2009 adidas Originals will unveil a fresh collection that celebrates and reflects decades of the brand’s rich heritage and lifestyle credentials. 2009 marks the 60th anniversary of the iconic 3-Stripes mark introduced by company founder Adi Dassler. For consumers “60 Years of Soles and Stripes” means a year-long celebration of product introductions that has something for everyone. adidas is launching the collection with an innovative presentation at Milan Fashion week that truly represents what adidas Originals is all about – Celebrating Originality. Rather than through a runway show, adidas will host a “house party” which in addition to being a creative way to showcase product, is also a sneak preview to into the global brand campaign which will launch later in the year.

A two-floor stage show installation built up as an enormous house brings the party to life, hosting all the different product themes and spring/summer 2009 concepts that make up the Trefoil brand such as the anniversary range “60 Years of Soles and Stripes”. This special line comprises footwear and apparel products that have become timeless classic styles through the last six decades and different eras. Accompanied by a comprehensive women’s line of mix-and-match styles, the new spring/summer 2009 collection presents an extended summer fashion offering, serving in particular the coastal and urban street scenes. The new range will be available at adidas Originals stores as well as selected sneaker and fashion doors all around the world starting in January 2009 together with the global roll-out of the new campaign which initially will launch in the USA in November 2008.

As a groundbreaking new men’s sub-collection, the collaboration with Italian pop icon scooter manufacturer Vespa, one of the biggest and most original mobility brands worldwide, presents another product facet that truly speaks originality. Two authentic lifestyle brands, both focused on design, present a unique partnership with products referencing classic and contemporary men’s looks and colors that serve the needs of both classic scooter riders and all fans of casual and clean design. 

The new relationship with Vespa and our existing relationship with Italian lifestyle brand Diesel on the Originals Denim by Diesel range make Milan Fashion Week the perfect platform for adidas to host the Originals spring/summer 2009 global launch. Hermann Deininger, CMO adidas Sport Style, commented: “I am very excited that we are hosting our 2009 global launch for adidas Originals during Milan Fashion Week and I believe that the addition of adidas Originals to Milan brings an interesting street wear dimension. With the addition of Milan, adidas is now present at all four major Fashion Weeks for spring/summer 2009, an exciting milestone as we build on the style credential of the adidas brand.”

The recently introduced product customization tool “mi Originals” presents an additional highlight of the overall launch presentation. The tool allows sneaker lovers to design their own individual pair of shoes and thereby choose between two of the Trefoil brand’s most iconic footwear models: the Superstar and the ZX700. mi Originals will be exclusively available in the reworked and reopened Milan Originals Store from September 18th onwards, allowing the unlimited celebration of originality that the Trefoil brand stands for.

Press Release for Eco-Friendly Green Campaign

A Sample Press Release for a Company's Eco-Friendly Green Campaign

Schnucks Goes Green So Customers Can Save Green

Grocer continues to make advancements in sustainability 

For Schnuck Markets, Inc., Earth Day (April 22) is a milestone in the quest to strengthen its environmental commitment to build more earth-friendly stores and facilities.  

Last fall, the St. Louis-based grocer introduced a prototype store design in Newburgh, Ind. that showcased the latest advances in energy and water efficient technologies and building practices. As Schnucks moves forward with two new stores in the St. Louis area (Downtown and Des Peres), company officials hope to continue to build on what they have learned. 

“Green design is good design. We must be good stewards for future generations,” said Schnucks Director of Facilities Engineering Ross Hutsel. “Everything we can do to help control our utility costs also helps us to continue to keep prices low for our customers – something very important especially during times of economic uncertainty.” Hutsel noted that Newburgh store is almost 50 percent larger than the one it replaced, yet the utility costs are the same. 

According to Hutsel, the company’s latest sustainability and “green” initiatives focus on reducing energy and water use, reducing volume of landfill waste and increasing the use of recyclables and recycled materials. Building plans for all new stores include energy efficient lighting, water efficient plumbing fixtures and accessories and an energy management system to control lighting, air conditioning, heating and refrigeration. He added that a major focus has been in the area of refrigeration including energy efficient systems that use waste heat to support the store’s hot water requirements and refrigerated display cases with high efficiency components that further reduce energy consumption. 

Hutsel says, once the new Des Peres store opens later this year, the company plans to apply for an Energy Star award – a federal Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) program for which only the top 25 percent of energy-efficient buildings in the nation qualify. Some additional features of that store will include skylights to take advantage of daylight harvesting, self-compensating ventilation hoods to reduce the amount of conditioned air needed to balance the amount of air leaving the building and high-efficiency water heaters with a single hot water piping loop to meet the store’s hot water demand.  

Schnucks Director of Facilities Maintenance John Behr says Schnucks is also updating older stores, facilities and warehouses. “We are retrofitting many of our exterior signs and frozen food door cases with new energy-efficient LED technology, and CFLs have replaced incandescent bulbs in our check stands, walk-in coolers and freezers,” Behr said. “At our grocery warehouse, we replaced metal halide lamps with fluorescent hi-bay fixtures with motion sensors. By doing so, we have reduced electricity use by 60 percent. We have also applied this technology to the backrooms of our stores.” Company-wide, Schnucks has reduced the overall kilowatt hours per square foot by more than seven percent since 2006.  

Behr also says that the company is making a large investment by converting all stores that use R-22 refrigerant gas, to new environmentally friendly refrigerants. “In keeping with EPA guidelines, we are in the fourth year of a six-year plan to switch to new HFC refrigerants that have zero ozone depletion potential. Although this is a very expensive program, we are committed to helping protect our environment,” he said. 

Schnucks Director of Consumer Affairs Joanie Taylor often shares information of the company’s progress with the public. “Our feedback indicates that a vast majority of our customers feel that recycling and sustainability issues are important.” Taylor said. 

Inside the company, Taylor says, “Internal committees have been formed to pilot projects with potential for saving resources, time and expense. At Schnucks, we use the ‘Three P’s’ to define sustainability. True sustainability means finding a balance between what is good for People, the Planet and Profitability,” she said. 

“One committee in particular, led by Cottleville Store Manager Steve Troup, publishes a monthly fact and tip sheet called Energy Buzz to communicate progress and offer new ideas for saving energy at work and at home.” 

Founded in St. Louis in 1939, Schnuck Markets, Inc. operates 105 stores (including five Logli stores) and 101 pharmacies in Missouri, Illinois, Indiana, Wisconsin, Iowa, Tennessee and Mississippi.

Press Release for Anniversary Tour

Sample Press Release for a Band's Music Anniversary Tour



Guster announces 10 Year Anniversary Tour

Boston-bred band Guster have just announced their nine-date headline tour, Lost & Gone Forever Ten Year Anniversary Tour, which will kick off 10/28 in Charlotte, NC and wrap on 11/27 at the Beacon Theater in New York. This anniversary tour will be Guster’s only headline dates of this year.

Ten years have passed since the band’s critically acclaimed release of Lost and Gone Forever which in their words “helped us graduate from our van to a bus”. These nine very special evenings with Guster will include two sets, one of which will be the album in its entirety and no opening act.

Guster has specially chosen each venue as they have historical significance to the group. Higher Ground in Vermont (now in new location) was where they launched the original “Lost & Gone Forever” tour. Ten years ago at the Orpheum, in Boston, Guster put on an epic Halloween show wearing tuxes and pretending it was New Year’s Eve, Y2K. The Beacon in New York harkens back to a time when they played Thanksgiving Weekend in NYC five years in a row.

Tickets for these shows will go on sale this Friday, July 17th. Ticket purchases are available at Ticket Master and Live Nation.

In a major senior management restructuring at Schnuck Markets, Inc., Scott Schnuck, chairman and CEO, announced the appointment of Todd Schnuck, 50, as COO and the retirement of two senior executives.

Todd, formerly the company’s chief financial officer, became president in 2006 when, after 17 years at the helm, Craig Schnuck stepped down to oversee the company’s growth and governmental affairs allowing Scott and Todd Schnuck to rise to new leadership posts.

With the transition now complete, Todd Schnuck, as president and COO, will take on responsibility for the operating side of the family business. He will oversee store operations, merchandising, marketing, logistics, continuous improvement, industrial engineering, facilities maintenance and consumer affairs, as well as pharmacy and fuel operations.

Todd Schnuck earned his B.A. from the University of Virginia in 1981 and an M.B.A. from Cornell University in 1983. He served as associate vice president for investment banking at A.G. Edwards & Sons, Inc. for four years before joining Schnucks in 1987. For the past 22 years, he has been the company’s chief financial officer. 

As chairman and CEO, Scott Schnuck now has oversight for the office of COO as well as strategy, finance, technology, human resources, public relations, legal, real estate, loss prevention, food safety and store design and construction. 

Scott Schnuck explained, “This restructuring will allow me to concentrate on guiding the company forward while Todd will ensure that we continue working to enhance the overall customer shopping experience in our stores.” 

Also announced as part of the restructuring was the retirement of two senior executives at the company. Bill Bredenkoetter, senior vice president of store operations, and Randy Wedel, senior vice president of marketing and merchandising, will be retiring Sept. 28 – the end of Schnucks fiscal year. Both have agreed to work in senior consulting roles for the company after their retirements.

Bredenkoetter has been with Schnucks for 38 years and has headed up store operations for 22. Wedel has been with the company for 22 years and in his current position for 19 years. “Both Bill and Randy have made significant contributions to the organization over the past two decades,” Scott Schnuck said.

Dave Bell, CFA, 42, formerly treasurer, is the company’s new chief financial officer, reporting to Scott Schnuck. Bell will have responsibility for all accounting, budgeting and treasury functions of the $2.5 billion company. Bell joined Schnucks in 1984, and after earning his MBA, went on to serve as director of financial planning, assistant treasurer and treasurer.

Lori Caster, 42, will become vice president of merchandising reporting to Todd Schnuck. Caster, formerly group vice president center store merchandising, will be responsible for all merchants and category managers. She will have responsibility for sales, gross profit management, assortment planning, procurement and pricing.

Mary Moorkamp, 47, general counsel and secretary, will take on additional responsibility for real estate, facilities research, loss prevention and food safety. Moorkamp will report to Scott Schnuck.

Anniversary Press Release for Food and Beverage Company

A sample Press Release for a Food and Beverage Company celebrating a product's anniversary

Shiner marks 100th Anniversary with Commemorator Ale

In 1909, German and Czech immigrants decided to start the Homebrewing Association in Shiner, Texas so they could make the kind of beers they’d left behind in their homelands.

With the arrival of Bavarian-born and classically trained brewmaster Kosmos Spoetzl in 1915, the brewery was on the way to becoming one of the country’s most respected craft brewers.

To mark this important milestone not just for the brewery but for American beer making, we have literally bottled our history and heritage in a new brew to celebrate the centennial of Shiner Beers and the Spoetzl Brewery.

Shiner 100 Commemorator is a rich and robust brew that is a fitting tribute to our legacy of 100 years of handcrafting stylish and flavorful beers. Commemorator is a bold style that would have been very familiar to Kosmos.

One of the highlights of the Bavarian brewing year is the rollout of strong beer or starkbier, developed by monks as “liquid bread” to sustain them through the Lenten season. Commemorator is brewed in that Old-World tradition and embodies the German-Czech heritage Shiner has proudly stood for since 1909.

This 17 % original extract dark lager is a blend of two row Munich and Caramel 60 malt mildly spiced with Bavarian Hallertau Tradition and Spalter Select hops to allow the toasted caramel flavor to predominate.

Shiner 100 Commemorator will be available in select markets on January 1. Like all Shiner beers, every drop of Commemorator is made by only 56 employees of the Spoetzl Brewery make, very near the site where it all started a century ago.

They will also be delightful items for the children to get for their moms.

Volunteers Celebrate Earth Week at Special Equestrians

Volunteers from Capmark Finance Inc, and Centocor Ortho Biotech Services LLC, worked over the course of two days at Special Equestrians painting the therapy and observation rooms, and planting gardens and building therapeutic equipment in the Sensory Trail. The teams' efforts were coordinated by Special Equestrians Program Director Anne Reynolds, "It was a pleasure to have these talented and skilled volunteers working to brighten our indoor environment and to bring our Sensory Trail ideas to life outdoors."

"The Sensory Trail plays a unique and powerful role in therapeutic riding lessons because it involves all the senses; the riders see, touch, hear, and smell new stimuli," says Executive Director Tammy Westney. "Since our riders may continue in the program through their childhood and into adulthood, we must constantly bring in new and exciting ways in which the riders can interact with and learn from their environment. The Sensory Trail is a fun and educational outdoor space for riders, both when they are on the horse, and when they are on the ground."

The volunteers from Capmark Finance and Centocor Ortho Biotech Services provided nearly 300 hours of services to Special Equestrians. The projects they completed would otherwise not have been done, these teams worked diligently to make the indoor and outdoor space appealing and inviting.

Special Equestrians, a Forbes Enterprise Award winner, is a 501(c) 3 non-profit therapeutic riding program located at 2800 Street Road in Warrington, Pennsylvania. Our mission is to improve the physical, mental, and emotional well being of individuals with disabilities through the equine experience.

PR for Organic Product Line

A sample press release for an organic food company.




Ruth’s Hemp Foods is excited to introduce a new type of cereal featuring the chia seed called Chia Goodness™. Media can pick up free samples of Chia Goodness anytime during the show and meet founder, and hemp pioneer, Ruth Shamai. Ruth’s Hemp Foods will be sampling Chia Goodness™, along with other new exciting products, at booth no. 3272 throughout the show.

It turns out that this little seed called chia, the same seed that many people associate with green “pets” and the ‘70’s, is one of the most nutritious seeds ever. According to the FDA’s nutrient database, chia (Salvia Hispanica L., also marketed as Salba®) contains more than 4.5-times calcium than milk, 16-percent protein and more Omega 3 than salmon. It is also a great source of trace minerals.

“But what got my attention,” said Ruth Shamai, president of Ruth's Hemp Foods, is the way chia “gels up” when it gets wet. Add just a little bit of any type of liquid, hot or cold, and it gets thick within minutes – no cooking required. It dawned on me that this quality is perfect for a cereal with the comfort value of hot oatmeal, but a much higher nutritional value than anything else on the market.”

As well as used as a breakfast in itself, Chia Goodness can be stirred into yogurt, oatmeal or granola to boost their nutritional value, or used as a base for muffins or pancakes. Also in Chia Goodness™ are hemp and buckwheat seeds, and Celtic Sea Salt®, a high-end salt harvested in France. As well as this Original formulation, Chia Goodness™ is available in Cranberry Ginger and Apple Almond Cinnamon flavours.

This is a new direction for Ruth, who was a key activist in the cadre composed of leading environmentalists, agriculture experts and entrepreneurs that lobbied successfully for the legalization of industrial hemp production in Canada in 1998. "There’s so much to love about hemp,” said Ruth. “But chia’s unique nutritional profile just stole my heart!”

Ruth said that she first heard of chia a decade ago while reading Udo Erasmus’s book Fats that Heal, Fats that Kill, which referenced Chia as a source of Essential Fatty Acids. But her work with hemp put chia on the back burner. Now that Ruth’s Hemp Foods are distributed throughout North America, she has turned her attention back to chia.

Chia Goodness™ has been well received by consumers because of its great taste, fabulous texture and high nutritional value. Stop by booth no. 3272 anytime during the Expo West 2008 show to get your sample and learn more about Ruth’s Hemp Foods wonderful line of products.

About Ruth’s Hemp Foods, Inc.
Ruth's Hemp Foods, based in Toronto, Ontario, pioneered the use of hemp in food in North America, making Hemp Bars, Hemp Protein Powders, Omega Burgers™ (hemp-based vegetarian burger patties), Certified Organic Hemp Oil, Certified Organic SoftHemp™ (shelled hempseed), and other hemp food items.

Ruth's Hemp Foods manufacturers the most extensive line of hemp foods available and are distributed throughout the US and Canada. The company slogan “Your Values … our Foods” refers to the principlesbehind the line: no GMOs, refined sugars, hydrogenated oils, transfats, synthetic vitamins, artificial preservatives, fillers or colors.

Press Release for Jewelry Company

A Sample Press Release for a Jewelry Company creating diamond studded pieces.

Memorial Diamonds Deliver Eternal Life

From ashes to diamonds: Algordanza, a Switzerland-based company, memorializes deceased loved ones through the creation of innovative memorial diamonds. Algordanza's memorial diamonds are the result of a finely-tuned process whereby the ashes or hair from a deceased loved one are turned into genuine human diamonds that will last forever. It's a unique way for the bereaved to remember those who meant so much to them when they were alive.

"Recently, a woman in Austin, Texas had a diamond made from her father's remains," Jared Parrish, director of sales and marketing for Algordanza, says. "The diamond was set in her engagement ring so her father could still walk with her down the aisle."

Algordanza's memorial diamonds are absolutely unique and are solely generated from cremation ashes or hair. Each production step is completely documented, and upon completion, the diamond is presented with a certificate of authenticity along with a chemical analysis of the ashes.

"What sets us apart from other companies that offer this service, is that our diamonds are genuine," Jared Parrish, director of sales and marketing for Algordanza, says. "We do not use any chemical additives which makes these natural, not synthetic diamonds."

While mined diamonds require hundreds of millions of years to age, Algordanza's lab-grown gems typically take only a few months to form. The largest one offered is a full carat and takes up to one year.

So, how does it work? Carbon, chemically drawn out from the ashes or hair, is compressed into graphite in a high pressure, high temperature-growth environment. The graphite undergoes the same process leading to rough crystallized diamonds which are then cut and polished.

The memorial diamond varies in color. Primarily, white, it may sometimes have a bluish tint, depending on the quantity of the element boron within the carbon. Just as no two human beings are alike, no two stones are identical.
