AMP3 PR has added Z100 radio personality Trey Morgan to our entertainment roster as he pursues his “30 Deeds, 30 Days” experience. On September 1st Trey Morgan will be embarking on a charitable adventure, setting out to work with 30 different charitable organizations on each of the 30 days of September.

Like many, Trey Morgan is someone who has always wanted to find a way to give his time to others, but just didn’t know how or what to do. Deciding not to choose at all, Trey came up with the idea for “30 Deeds, 30 Days”. Through “30 Deeds, 30 Days” Trey hopes to to challenge himself both physically and mentally, while also finding his charitable passion.

Stay tuned for more on Trey Morgan’s “30 Deeds, 30 Days” experience and keep checking the “30 Deeds, 30 Days” website for updates at www.30Deeds30Days.com.

During the month of September, Darkchild will personally review each and every song submission. All entrants are guaranteed a 45 second – 1 minute video response directly from Darkchild, including his expert critique of the song at hand. The submission fee is $100.

On October 1st, 2010, one lucky winner will be announced LIVE on Ustream and will be offered the production/publishing deal. To reference the mainstream magnitude of this opportunity for an unknown producer/songwriter on the rise, Darkchild’s most recent hit was Lada Gaga & Beyonce’s “Telephone”. He has also produced hits for Mary J Blige and Michael Jackson among many others.

Additionally, Darkchild is open to signing more talent, stating that, “If two or three of the entries are really good, then I will sign them all. Talent is talent.”

Please see the announcement in Billboard Magazine.

The Yantra Mat, a gentler version of the ancient Indian nail bed, is studded with 8,800 non-toxic ABS plastic spikes. The spikes feel sharp, but with your body’s weight distributed evenly over the mat, an intense sensation quickly gives way to a comforting rush of heat. This natural response to acupressure comes from increased circulation, which lowers blood pressure and soothes aches and pains. Within minutes, this improved blood flow triggers a deep sense of relaxation.

Yantra Mat recently debuted the Yantra Kit. This three-part acupressure kit for the body helps to enhance the entire Yantra experience and includes the Yantra Belt, Yantra Pillow and Yantra Rings. The Yantra Belt allows you to perform acupressure anywhere, without relying on meditative poses. Use the whole belt for large areas, or divide it with the zipper to treat more difficult-to-reach places. The Yantra Pillow, with it’s inflatable pouch, conforms to any shape providing treatment to your neck, lower back and/or jawline. You can also use it in conjunction with the mat to help support your neck while lying on your back. The Yantra Rings include 1 medium and 1 large ring and they help to alleviate temporary aches in your fingers and joints.

The Yantra Kit is priced at $29 for the kit on its own, or $69 for the kit along with The Yantra Mat.

MISSION STATEMENT:
“Henry Ford, move over – the New Industrialism is here. Mass customization, modular design, co-creation, robotics, production on demand, open innovation and other computer-driven technologies are changing the way things are made all over the globe. Inevitably they’ll change the fields of art and design too – not only how work is produced, but how it’s thought about. In fact, the shift has already begun. Our goal is to show you how.” –Donald Rattner

The Art Rethought Blog is a destination where Rattner will explore and illustrate how digital innovations in manufacturing are impacting art and design.  The blog will feature product reviews, interviews, events, and opinion pieces in the art, architecture, industrial / interior design and fashion fields.
