Author Dawn Vandenberg Publishes ?A Look Through My Eyes?

From the author of ?Tales from Manger Inn,? a collection of unforgettable memories about horseback riding and farm life, A Look Through My Eyes is a stunning real-life saga of family and financial, political and spiritual battles set against the backdrop of the Second World War. Dawn Vandenberg?s newly published book follows the life of a man who struggled to survive despite pressures from the family, poverty, the Nazi, and even from Christianity.

Rem Vandenberg was born in 1937 in the Netherlands just before the onslaught of World War II. His youth was a struggle to exist under the German occupation and in combating the depravation of poverty. Added to these hardships was the ongoing personal battle he fought daily in accepting the doctrines of the Roman Catholic Church, which were heavily imposed on him by the uncompromising adult belief of the time.

Inspired by his authoritarian father, Rem accepted that he had to help support the family at a young age. With a strong desire to be free of the bonds restricting him from freedom of expression and thought, Rem was often on the punitive end of the disciple rod, both at school and home. Through her endless love, compassion and faith, Rem?s mother was able to engulf the whole family under her mantle of love and bind them together into a caring family unit.

At the age of 16, driven by the spirit of adventure, Rem left home and joined the merchant navy. On sailing into his first Australian port his desire to stay in Australia took over. He jumped ship and went inland. He was finally picked up by the law and experienced a short jail sentence before being deported back to Holland. His love for Australia was strong and within two years he returned as a legal migrant and still lives in his beloved land today.

Dramatically inspiring, A Look Through My Eyes is a story overflowing with life changing lessons. It teaches readers that there is never a barrier?not money, family, war nor religion?strong enough to prevent them from reaching their dreams, if they perseveringly put their heart, mind and soul to achieving them.

QuickMedical Announces Successful Sales and Marketing Results for 2012

Thursday, December 13th, 2012


Issaquah, WA (PRWEB) December 11, 2012

QuickMedical continues to surpass sales goals by incorporating fundamental marketing and sales strategies. The basic sales and marketing activities that helped to grow the company in the past, continues to help the company grow sales and market share in 2012.

“One of the fundamental reasons why we have continued to grow at 25% per year over the last 10 years is because we control our growth,” said Loren Timmons, Marketing Director at QuickMedical. “We measure much of our performance by asking our customers how we’re doing. Growing too fast or in the wrong direction will increase customer complaints, reduce sales, and in the long-term hurt the company’s reputation; out of control growth is a cancer.”

QuickMedical has taken steps to add new technology software that increases security for their on-line order processing service. They have added a paperless accounting system to help reduce cost and continue to hire more sales and customer service personnel.

Mr. Timmons concluded, “QuickMedical made the decision a number of years ago that they would aggressively pursue new business opportunities, private labeling (QM-Elite) and build a satisfied, but more importantly, loyal customer following. I believe that through our past hard work, an aggressive internet and print marketing campaign, and by adhering to fundamental sales and marketing concepts, QuickMedical will continue to grow and be profitable for years to come.

Presently QuickMedical is in the process of adding more facilities to handle the additional space needed to accommodate the nearly 40,000 products available through their website. In 2012 alone, QuickMedical added another 10,000 SKU’s to both their Government Sales and Commercial Sales product offerings.

“In good or bad economic times, our focus at QuickMedical has been to expand our product lines, increase our marketing and co-marketing effort, build long-term customer relationships, and sell outside of our comfort zone” said Scott Hanna, CEO at QuickMedical. “We provide added value to our existing services while meeting ongoing customer requests for new products that increase distribution channels and reduce cost.”
