New York, NY (PRWEB) May 08, 2012

The Network Journal (http://www.tnj.com), the New York tri-state?s premier magazine for Black professionals, corporate executives and small business owners, announces the winners of its much anticipated 2012 ?40 Under Forty? Achievers Awards, which recognizes achievers who are continuously reaching for higher goals in their professions, businesses and community involvement.

This year's class of honorees hails from a diverse range of industries, including media, technology, arts, culture, finance, and healthcare. TNJ will honor them on Thursday, June 28, 2012, at its 15th Annual 40 Under Forty Achievers Awards Dinner, to be hosted by 2010 awardee Karen Nethersole, Esq., CEO of Full Circle NY, and Roman Oben, former NY Giants & 2003 Super Bowl XXXVII Champion. The event will be held at the Crowne Plaza Hotel in Times Square, New York City, from 6:30 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. The dinner is sponsored by Wells Fargo and WBLS Radio.

TNJ created the 40 Under Forty Achievers Awards in 1997 to publicly recognize the next generation of African-American leaders who already are exceptional performers in their respective industries, and who are committed to the development of their community. Competition for the awards has become increasingly intense, with the number of entries growing exponentially each year and the achievements of the entrants more and more remarkable. It is almost presumptuous to choose winners, for clearly there are no losers among these candidates. TNJ salutes them all ? both those who made the honoree list and those who did not.

?As we celebrate the 15th year of our 40 Under Forty Achievers Awards, TNJ cherishes its role as a facilitator for our up-and-coming African-American men and women to progress even further in their careers. While the selection process presents quite a challenge to our judging committee, it is truly a privilege to announce the 40 winners from such an accomplished group of candidates. Through events such as our recognition awards program, TNJ brings these accomplished professionals to the attention of our vast network of corporate affiliations,? says Aziz Gueye Adetimirin, TNJ?s founder, publisher and CEO.

This year?s honorees follow in the footsteps of such notable winners as Soledad O?Brien, anchor and special correspondent for CNN/US; actor Malika Yoba; and Monique Nelson, CEO of UniWorld.

Weight Loss For Women Over Forty ? Helping Women To Lose Weight And Regain Youthful Health And Energy

Monday, May 7th, 2012 at 5:25 am  


(PRWEB) May 03, 2012

?Weight Loss Over Forty (located at http://www.weightlossoverforty.net/ ) was created in response to the growing need for honest weight loss information that leads to quick, healthy, long term results,? states founder Gregg Kellogg. ?This is not about a new diet but a new way to live that ends cravings, ?teaches? the body to burn fat for fuel and empowers women through a simple ?transformational? system.?

Although Kellogg is a 20 year veteran of fitness and the health benefits of exercise contends that ?exercise is way over rated when it comes to weight loss. ?10% exercise and 90% ?tons? of healthy, fat burning food? he quips. Carrying a lean body that?s the envy of men half his age, it?s hard to argue with his philosophies.

He also has no fear of taking on the multi-billion dollar agricultural industry stating ?The number one reason for the obesity epidemic in this country is that the unsuspecting public believes and then tries to implement their dietary advice that does nothing but line their [the agricultural industry] pockets and make America fat.?

Thousands of women over forty are already following the ?no-hype? body transformation advice found at http://www.weightlossoverforty.net/. With an emphasis on fast, permanent weight loss that increases health and energy as we age, it?s easy to understand the growing popularity of this new site.
