Adam Ward. Future Photographer

Name: Kade Delis

How much can someone put on the Internet? For Adam Ward, a student at Utah State University majoring in public relations, the boundaries are limitless. The articles he has written are easy to find and he seems to take interest in the most modern conveniences. But he seems to give the most attention to his photography career, which seems to be off to a good start. All-in-all Ward seems like an interesting person and will likely be a successful businessman. Ward’s ability to achieve can be distinguished in the words he writes and in the art he does.

Ward was born in 1990 and has seven other siblings. His parents are John and Patty Ward. He has earned great respect and become a huge lover of photography. On his Facebook page there are numerous photos of models and nature he has photographed on different locations with beautiful backdrops. He says the job has become easier now that he knows how to use Photoshop. Several of his friends have given him great feedback on his work. His sister Melissa actually wrote, “i can almost smell the lilacs through the photo :.”

Aside from photography, Ward is also a student at Utah State University majoring in public relations. He plays for the rugby team and has written articles for the university’s news Web site Aggie Town Square, his most recent being an article about a charity between the bicycle store and a band. His interests in technology are noticeable on his Facebook and Twitter pages. On his Twitter page, he expresses the desire to work for the search engine company, Google (“I want to work for Google! Oh man that company is so cool”) and keep up-to date with the newest technologies (“I'm diggin the new windows phone 7, it looks sweet. Competition between Apple, Google, and microsoft will bring about some cool stuff!”). His Facebook page shows a link to the Adobe Creative Suite for students.

His blogs show his interests in issues that the country is debating as well as his personal interests. One post is about the war on drugs and another one discusses Web 2.0. With the cover post saying Cache Club of Interdisciplinary Studies, he was probably making this blog for a class.

Ward’s personal hobbies, according to his Blogger profile, are “Photography, school, rugby, and friends can pretty much sum me up,” and “I love taking pictures of anything and everything, so please shoot me an email at adam.ward@aggiemail.usu.edu if you are interested in taking pictures!”

Borders Bookstores

New alternative to for university students

If a student wishes to purchase his or her books for classes and avoid the long and tedious process at the bookstore, some professors at Utah State University consult the neighboring Borders Bookstore for help providing the students with new textbooks for their classes.

Every semester, hundreds of students line by the tiny store inside the Taggart Student Center to purchase their textbooks for their classes. A handful of professors do not like this and order the textbooks through Borders instead, where the book waits for the student to pick up and purchase. An incorporation like this has been an effective way to help professors who wish to help their students avoid the long lines and sometimes scarcity of books that the Utah State University bookstore has been notorious for, according to their general manager Donja Wright.

“A lot of students prefer this,” Wright said. “The number of classes varies from semester to semester.”

Among the USU classes that asked for Border’s assistance is the photojournalism class taught by Patrick Oden and Edward Pease. They reserved many textbooks for the students benefit. Some are still in the store not purchased.

According to their web site, Borders Bookstore is headquartered in Ann Arbor, Mich. It was founded in 1971 by a husband and wife team, but began as a rental library in Stamford, Conn. In 1984, the Kmart Corporation purchased Walden Books and then Borders in 1992 to become the Borders-Walden Group. They then moved to from Stamford, Conn. to Ann Arbor, Mich. in 1995. The Logan Borders opened in Logan, Utah in 2002. Their target audience, according to Wright, includes college students and book lovers.

For more information regarding this store or other stores please contact us at 734-477-1100 or in Logan, Utah at 435-787-0678.

Cache Valley Area Investors Association

For immediate release:

Subject Line: We can help you make money doing what you love.

Old Job Boring? We can teach you to improve your life.

Dear Mr. Gardner

Increasing passive income while lowering earned income is the goal we teach at the Cache Valley Area Investors Association.

What is the difference between passive income and earned income you may ask? Earned income is money that the average employed person makes everyday but does not manage well and thus becomes less financially independent; passive income is money earned through devoted thought and love for one’s occupation. At CVAIA, we try to help individuals do what they love and making money doing it while managing your finances responsibly.

“In CVAIA, we focus on education and networking,” said President Preston Parker. “The cause is financial independence which is important because there are a lot of people who are unhappy and there are enough jobs in the United States that people can find the ones that they love.”

We understand the American spirit that every Cache Valley resident desires to become wealthier through their life. According to Parker, today many people are unsatisfied with their jobs and want to improve their lifestyle, which is also one of the reasons Parker started this organization. That is why we feel that this information is important for families in the Cache Valley to read.

The CVAIA began in August, 2007. The conferences are held at 7 p.m. every other Thursday at the Cache Chamber of Commerce on 160 N. Main St. Logan, Utah where they discuss such things as marketing and financial independence. We practice from the ideologies of such authors as Robert Kiyosaki (Rich Dad, Poor Dad) and David Bach (The Automatic Millionaire).

For more information contact Kade Delis at 208-670-0876 and we can discuss a column in the Herald Journal. I can also help set up an interview with Preston Parker for more information about the CVAIA.

The Logan Border’s Bookstore has become a great alternative for professor’s that no longer trust the USU bookstore.

According to it’s general manager, Donja Wright, they do not do much advertising and have few marketing tools, other than the Border’s rewards cards which offer prizes for customers who shop frequently.

“We don’t really have a target audience,” said Wright. “We just like readers. Our biggest customers are college students.”

Press release 3 Final Draft: Cause Promotion

Cache Valley Investors Association
Get the Know-how on How to Make Your Fortune

Learn to manage your money and create better income doing the job you love, that’s what university professor Preston Parker at the Cache Valley Area Investors Association says.

President and Founder Preston Parker says the CVAIA promotes the ideas that money cannot buy happiness but can help provide financial independence if you know how to use it.

“In CVAIA, we focus on education and networking,” said Parker. “The cause is financial independence which is important because there are a lot of people who are unhappy and there are enough jobs in the United States that people can find the ones that they love.”

The Cache Valley Area Investors Association (CVAIA) teaches people that financial independence is composed of two incomes: passive income and earned income. Earned income is money that people earn on a regular paycheck and do not manage well making them less financially independent; passive income is money earned based on thought devoted to what they love to do. Parker said one of the goals is to raise passive income and lower earned income.

The CVAIA began in 2007 because, he said, he was tired of people asking him for advice on finances. They embrace three philosophical laws: Law of Attraction, the Law of Abundance, and the Law of Exchange. They practice methods found in the ideologies of books including Rich Dad, Poor Dad by Robert Kiyosaki and Sharon Lechter, the Wealthy Barber by David Chilton, The Millionaire Next Door by Thomas J. Stanley and William D. Danko, Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand, The Automatic Millionaire by David Bach, and the Secret. The members come together to mitigate the same belief that education mitigates the risks of investing.
