William Huston (1927-2011): Urged Sale of Family's Land for South Bay College
William "Bill" Huston, who served at the helm of the Watson Land Company for more than 40 years, died on March 9 at the age of 83. Widely recognized throughout California as a leader in economic and industrial development, Huston was responsible for convincing the Dominguez Estate Company to sell its land to the state of California for a new public college in the South Bay region of Los Angeles. The site became the campus of California State College, Dominguez Hills and finally, California State University, Dominguez Hills.

"CSU Dominguez Hills would not exist were it not for Bill Huston," says Judson Grenier, emeritus professor of history and author of "California Legacy: The Watson Family." "He convinced the Dominguez Estate Company to sell its land to the state for the site of [the college]. Many of the stockholders were opposed, but he pushed it through, and then, further convinced Gov. Pat Brown and his financial adviser, Hale Champion, to present to the California State College Board of Trustees the option of purchasing the land."
Huston worked with Grenier and other members of the Watson and Carson families, heirs of the original landowners, to bring the majority of the collection of the Dominguez family papers to the University Library, where they have resided since 1971.
"[The Dominguez papers remain] the first and one of the most important special collections in our library," says Grenier. "Later in that decade, he asked me to undertake the history of the Watson-Dominguez family, with an important segment on the creation and history of the Watson Land Company. After each chapter was completed, he read through it, and we met in his … office for hours to correct errors of fact or interpretation. He joined me in working with the artists and book designers to put out the final product, and for a time, and for a time, he gave me a desk in his office to read proof and make editorial changes."
Alison Bruesehoff, executive director of the Dominguez Rancho Adobe Museum, oversees the original site of the adobe home that Californio rancher and statesman Manuel Dominguez built on the Rancho San Pedro, the first Spanish land grant in California. She says that the legacy of Manuel Dominguez continues with the use of his family's land for the urban university of the South Bay that bears his family's name.
William Huston (at far right) celebrated the dedication of the Watson Industrial Center on March 24, 1966 with (L-R) Burton Chace, Los Angeles County Supervisor; Eduardo Toda, Consul General of Spain; and Mrs. Virginia Benziger, granddaughter of Dolores Watson.
"As Dominguez family descendants, the Watson/Huston family embraced the same ideals as Manuel Dominguez to keep the land and use it to further the local economy," she says. "Bill Huston's support of using Dominguez land to build a college for the South Bay that would educate its workforce continues that tradition."
Huston was born July 8, 1927, to Ralph and Helen Huston in Omaha, Neb. The family would later move to Akron, Ohio, where Huston went on to attend the University of Akron; he also attended John Carroll University in Cleveland. After serving in the Navy during World War II, Huston earned a law degree from the University of Notre Dame School of Law and subsequently moved to San Francisco where he worked for the FBI. After joining the law firm of Riley and Hall in Los Angeles, he completed post-graduate work in tax law at the University of Southern California.
Huston served the Los Angeles community as president of the California Chamber of Commerce and director of the National Association of Industrial and Office Parks, as well as the California Statewide Economic and Job Development Committee.
Huston married Susana Dolores Watson, a descendant of Dolores Dominguez and James Watson, in 1954. He is survived by Mrs. Huston and their eight children and their spouses: Catherine Huston and Jerry Hurtubise, Ann Huston and Ron Hallagan, Helen and Bob Zieman, Thomas and Kathy Huston, Mary and A.J. Coulter, Robert and Beth Huston, Jean and Todd Walker, and Elizabeth Huston. He is also survived by 18 grandchildren.

Your home's ducts are the channel for all the air that you're inhaling. In fact, your ducts can be paralleled to the lungs of your home. Along with taking in and distributing air around your home, they are also trapping pollutants. Things like pet dander, pollen and dust all pass through your ducts and will make their way into the air you're breathing. This is why expert duct cleaning is so important. So how do you know when you should have your ducts cleaned?
The National Air Duct Cleaners Association recommends that you get your air ducts cleaned every 3–5 years, depending on your environment. There are a number of factors the team at Oak Grove Heating & Air Conditioning takes into account when figuring out when to have your ducts cleaned based on the conditions in Hattiesburg. Everyday life generates contaminants like dust, chemicals and pet dander. There are also climate factors to consider along with any new home renovations. Also, looking at if anyone in your home is experiencing allergies or asthma is important, as pollutants in your indoor air can aggravate these conditions. The air in your home's system is normally recirculated 5–7 times a day, with that many more chances for pollutants to fester inside your duct work.
The Environmental Protection Agency also offers a few propsals about when it's time to arrange a duct cleaning: if you believe or know you have seen mold inside your ducts, if you've recognized a vermin infestation or identify rodents exiting or entering your ductwork, or if you see visible proof of dust from your air register. The professionals at Oak Grove Heating & Air Conditioning would be happy to talk you through all of these factors and support you through the work to see if you could gain anything from a duct cleaning.
Although the name implies it, a duct cleaning doesn't just clean your ducts. A trained duct cleaning remembers every component of your system that air passes into. A clean system doesn't have to labor as hard to keep working with your thermostat. You'll waste less energy and cause less deterioration on your system.
If anyone in your home is affected by the allergies hanging around in Hattiesburg or you've detected any of the cautionary signs in your duct work, it's time to start contemplating duct cleaning. The team at Oak Grove Heating & Air Conditioning is always available to answer any questions you have, simply give us a call at 601-292-9763.

This two or three hours tour begins with a visit to Zanzibar's colorful market, alive with the buzz of locals bartering fresh vegetables and baskets of tropical fruit, amongst the heady aroma of herbs and spices, we continue onto the site of a cathedral built in 1874 then to the Zanzibar Museum, Tippu Tip's House, the former British Club, the Old Fort and the recently renovated Indian Dispensary. Your tour ends with a stroll through the narrow streets of Stone Town.
Kizimbani is the among the areas for the spice tour. We will visit the spice plantations where you will have the opportunity to pick, smell, and savour fruits and spices which you have probably never seen on the supermarket shelf, Cloves, star fruit, tangerine trees, lemon grass, mangos teen, 'lipstick trees', to name but a few what you can expect to see! This is the cheapest place to buy locally made perfumes and oils.
After breakfast we drive to Zanzibar Stone Town to catch our boat to Prison island. The island offers a stunning view of the Town especially during the night; there is very beautiful minor sandy beach where swimming on the crystal waters is marvelous. The coral reefs surrounding the island provide an opportunity of snorkeling. This is also a home of the giant tortoise, which is now under strict conservation. A short-guided tour around the island will provide the real picture.
Nungwi is the name of the village at the northern part of Zanzibar Island. These parts of the trip mainly focuses on Cultural village visit of the Nungwi Village, sight seeing and free time to relax at the white sand beach of the north. The best time to visit is in the early morning when the fish market is in full swing – depending on the catch the previous night you might see Tuna, King Fish, Dorado and a variety of other large fish for sale. In the mornings local fishermen (and women) wade out to the edge of the coral reef to catch a number of different small sea creatures including squid, octopus, puffer fish and the occasional ray – their catch will be sold at the fish market throughout the day. In this tour you will have the possibility to explore traditional fishing village with visiting the local boatyard, where fisherman's dhows are still made the traditional way. You will discover how locals live their everyday lives and how they make their livelihoods. After that you will visit Mnarani Aquarium, where you will have the possibility to see various species.

Why the Russell Peters Juno controversy feels so familiar
Like many traffic accidents, it began with the briefest moment of distraction. Hosting the 2017 Juno Awards last Sunday, comedian Russell Peters had just walked on stage and looked out at his audience. What he saw was a gaggle of enthusiastic young women pressed up against the catwalk where he stood. He paused as though this group required some comment and then limply offered a hoary old jail-bait joke: "That's a lot of young girls here. This is a felony waiting to happen."
By Monday, Minister of Canadian Heritage Mélanie Joly, also dubbed "hot" by Peters during the show, was calling his comments inappropriate. By Tuesday, the Canadian Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences, which was already saddled with its own #JunosSoMale controversy over its lack of female nominees, was publically apologizing and distancing itself from Peters in a press release.
But at first the throwaway line barely registered; the crowd kept cheering. Singer and co-host Bryan Adams joined Peters on stage; there were some scripted remarks about Michael Bublé, who was booked as host but is now staying home, nursing a child with cancer. Peters and Adams would take credit for anything you liked; anything that offended could be blamed on Bublé. Ha ha.
Nobody seemed to notice that Peters had already offended. It was only later – when Peters said he didn't know why Joly was there but didn't care because she was "hot" – that social media really lit up. Peters, a comic known for his ethnic parodies as well as the occasional raunchy aside, had definitely crossed a line.
You could speculate that CARAS president Allan Reid, despite his hasty disavowal of the "off-script remarks," should have seen this coming. Stand-up comics improvise; that's what they do. And Peters can be particularly off-colour in interactions with a live audience: His 2016 TV special Almost Famous includes a bit where, teasing one couple in the front rows, he mimics the man impregnating his wife from behind.
After a Junos debut that won him a Gemini in 2008, Peters last hosted the show in 2009, but perhaps this time he was ill-prepared for a last-minute gig and, a man from Brampton, Ont., now living in L.A., disconnected from both the young fans who snag tickets to see the live event and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's "Because it's 2015" political atmosphere. Certainly, his quip about Joly, which might have passed as a legitimate joke at the expense of an aggressively photogenic politician if Peters were a political satirist, just felt painfully out of touch.
Dismissing with a sexist swipe the credentials of a minister whose department has supported the Canadian music industry since the 1970s isn't smart, but the other line was far yuckier. Peters is the father of a six-year-old daughter, yet his frat-boy rape joke suggests someone so cozy in a male world he has apparently never considered the perspective of a young woman.
Peters has made no public comment, but on Twitter he has liked a series of tweets from fans defending the jokes.
The timing for CARAS could not be worse, because for two years now its awards show has politely fended off a #JunosSoMale controversy led by critics who point out that most of the nominees are men. This year, there was only one female nominee in both the album-of-the-year and artist-of-the-year categories; men were in the heavy majority in most other categories except international album and, as usual, there were no women nominated as producer or engineer. Reid has responded strongly, encouraging women in the industry to join CARAS and pointing out that Juno voters have to choose from what is submitted to them. (In the technical categories, very few female names are submitted, while other categories have a sales component.)
Sure, art goes in cycles and if these powerful years in Canadian music belong to Drake and the Weeknd, most of us can remember when Alanis Morissette and Shania Twain ruled. Meanwhile, the industry knows it has a pipeline problem and is doing some work to get more women into the technical jobs that are often the first rung on a career ladder. Still, at the top of all this is a business that, like most of the entertainment industries, is run almost exclusively by men: Currently, CARAS has only one woman on a 13-member board packed with music-biz heavyweights.
With its reek of the locker room or the club house, Russell Peters's joke seemed to issue straight from that world. And that's too bad because the Junos do a lot of things right, making them justifiably popular with young fans, both female and male. The awards are preceded by a smartly programmed week of public events in rotating host cities, and the show itself, which routinely draws more than a million television viewers, can be counted on for strong performances from big names: This year it included Alessia Cara, A Tribe Called Red, Sarah McLachlan, Shawn Mendes and Feist. Trudeau's desire to be associated – he and Sophie Grégoire-Trudeau delivered a flowery tribute to the late Leonard Cohen – served as a reminder that it's the Junos themselves that are hot.
So, all the awards show needs next year is a new host. Lilly Singh, Sabrina Jalees, Catherine Reitman, Candy Palmater? Whoever she is, there's a job to be done.

El Recinto amurallado de Adzaneta, en la comarca del Alcalatén, provincia de Castellón,  es un monumento catalogado como Bien de Interés Cultural, por declaración genérica, que presenta el código 12.04.001-008, estando anotado ministerialmente con el número de anotación 28114, del 15 de junio de 2011, según consta en la Dirección General del Patrimonio Cultural de la Generalidad Valenciana.

Historia
Según los hallazgos arqueológicos con los que se cuenta, se puede afirmar que los orígenes del asentamiento humano en Adzaneta del Maestrazgo se remontan a la Edad de Bronce.  El núcleo de población más primitivo se ubicaba en una zona defendida por la orografía del terreno (por la presencia de dos barrancos que confluían en una rambla), de manera que tan solo era necesaria la fortificación con murallas de la escasa zona abierta. Se trata de la zona conocida como "la vila closa".

El primer recinto amurallado se cree que pertenece a la época de la dominación musulmana de la zona, de hecho, el nombre de Atzeneta (nombre oficial en valenciano), proviene del nombre del jefe berberisco Zanet, perteneciente a la tribu Az-zanata, que es la que estaba asentada en los territorios del actual municipio. Según los estudios, este primer recinto amurallado se levantó en el extremo este del asentamiento, dando origen a un espacio público que coincidiría con la actual plaza Pastora.

La población pasó a manos de los cristianos con la reconquista por las tropas de Jaime I de Aragón,  pasando a formar parte de la demarcación territorial del castillo de Culla. En 1235  Jaime I cambia el pueblo, junto con el castillo de Les Coves por Morella, pasando así a formar parte de los territorios pertenecientes a Blasco de Alagón, pasando más tarde (1241) por herencia a manos de Guillem de Anglesola , quien consiguió la carta puebla en 1272.   A principios del siglo XIV  es vendido a la Orden de Montesa, pasando a ser una zona de residencia de importantes familias de la nobleza, lo que aún queda patente en las fachadas de muchas casas del pueblo que cuentan con bellas puertas, ventanas y escudos.

Según el historiador Vicente García Edo, de la Universidad Jaime I de Castellón, existen documentos redactados por los Maestres de Montesa en 1374 y 1377 referentes a la construcción de murallas en sus dominios, tanto nuevas como mejoras en las ya existentes, y que tienen su origen en el conflicto bélico de la guerra de los Pedros entre Aragón y Castilla.

De esta manera la primera ampliación de la zona amurallada se debió realizar en el siglo XIV, coincidiendo con la guerra de los dos Pedros, abriéndose una puerta de acceso  por el camino de Vistabella, en la calle de Sant Bertomeu que fue el límite de esta ampliación. Más tarde, en el siglo XVII, se derrocó el muro oeste de la muralla para poder construir la iglesia, con lo que se incorporó a la nueva zona amurallada el barrio, hasta entonces extramuros con calles paralelas como la Puríssima, dels Arnaus y de Mosen Pere.

La mayoría de los restos que quedan en la actualidad están dentro de las casas que se fueron construyendo sobre ellas, o utilizando parte del recinto amurallado como casas, como ocurre con el caso de las antiguas torres. Y el resto fue derribándose hasta acabar por desaparecer prácticamente como muralla, cosa que ocurrió en el siglo XVIII.

Descripción
Como restos mejor conservados y más visibles del recinto amurallado hay que destacar la conocida como "Torre de la Cárcel", que tiene confirmada su fecha de construcción por estudios arqueológicos realizados, y un lienzo de muralla que presenta restos de almenas, matacán, así como restos de otras dos torres. Por su parte, el  primitivo recinto en torno a la plaza Pastora (de planta casi cuadrada y  articulada alrededor del primitivo pozo que abastecía de agua a los primeros pobladores. En la actualidad un retablo cerámico de la imagen la Virgen bajo la advocación de la Divina Pastora, situado en una capilla ubicada en  la fachada de una de sus casas la preside y da nombre),  está  protegido por su mayor cota respecto a los barrancos y el desnivel mediante muros inclinados de fábrica de mampostería.

La torre, de planta cuadrada,  tiene tres alturas y cubierta de teja curva a un agua; de fábrica de mampostería regular formando hiladas. Presenta un espesor de los muros que es de 106-110 cm en planta baja, mientras que disminuye en las sucesivas plantas 95 en la primera  y 75 en la segunda. El acceso a las plantas superiores se realiza a través de una escalera que aún se conserva. Los muros presentan aspilleras y las ventanas gruesas rejas de forjado. Junto a la torre se abrió el portal del camino de Vistabella, en una de las modificaciones del recinto amurallado del que se ha hablado en la sección anterior, actualmente desaparecido al ser demolido alrededor de los años cincuenta del siglo XX. En la puerta de acceso hay una inscripción que data de 1898. Recibe el nombre de" torre de la cárcel" por haber sido utilizada como recinto de prisiones en el pueblo hasta prácticamente los años 60 del siglo XX.

John Baker's Warbook
Pictures from the United States Coast Guard USS Duane during WWII
Dale Rooks
USS Duane
Many of the photographs on this site are believed to have been taken by Dale Rooks of Grand Rapids MI. From 1944-1945, my grandfather accompanied Rooks during his photographic excursions through the end of World War II and was a subject in many of his photos. After the war was over, Rooks traveled to Buffalo NY to photograph the wedding of Jack and Katherine Baker.
The biography below came from The Grand Rapids (Michigan) Public Library website, which can be referenced here: https://www.grpl.org/wiki/images/230.pdf
Rhinedale (Dale) Rooks was born in 1917 in Grand Rapids, MI and died in 1954 in Grand Rapids, Mi. of cancer. Dale's father was Albertus Rooks, former Calvin College Principal, 1900-1918, and Dean of the College, 1918-1942. His mother was Grace (Oostining) Rooks. Dale Rooks had two brothers Marius Rooks, which would work with Dale in his Grand Rapids photography company, and Corbyn (Corbijn) Rooks.
Dale graduated from Grand Rapids Christian High School and went to Calvin College. While at Calvin College, Dale worked for the Calvin College annual Prism. After graduation in 1938 Dale worked as a news photographer for the Muskegon Chronicle. Dale then moved to Milwaukee to photograph for the Milwaukee Journal. In 1940 Dale moved to Kent, OH to teach at Kent University in the Journalism department. Two years later in 1942, Dale moved to New York City to work for the newspaper PM as a feature photographer.
In 1944 Dale joined the US Coast Guard and for two years was a combat photographer in the Mediterranean area. After working with the Coast Guard Dale then was a roving staff photographer for LOOK magazine.
In 1947 Dale Rooks moved back to Grand Rapids to start his own business and to be a freelance photographer. Dale married Sally Rooks and had three children; Jan, Daryll, and Dalene. Dale authored the book "Everybody's Photo Course" and photographed for "Three Little Bunnies" and "Three Little Puppies" both published by Rand McNally as Famous Elf Books in 1950 and 1951 respectively and were written by Ruth Dixon.
Dale's photographs were featured in magazines such as: Family Circle, Good Housekeeping, House & Garden, House Beautiful, LIFE, U.S. Camera, Fortune, Science Illustrated, Flying, and the newspaper The New York Times. Dale Rooks is most famous for his furniture photography and his special effects photography. Most of the photographs that were sent to major magazines of the Grand Rapids Furniture Markets were taken by Dale Rooks.
About John Baker's Warbook
The Warbook is a collection of approximately 150 original photographs taken during World War II revolving around the travels of Coast Guard cutter USS Duane. This book was compiled by my grandfather John Baker, who is the subject of many photos. Each image and caption from the book will be sequentially posted on this blog, along with other historical research when possible.

Catalyst supported a broad range of arts projects, especially those by small to medium arts organisations.
The Government transferred the majority of funds allocated to Catalyst to the Australia Council for the Arts on 1 July 2017. All existing Catalyst funding agreements have been honoured and those with payments scheduled in 2017-18 and beyond have now been transferred to the Australia Council for ongoing management.
As part of the 2017-18 Mid-Year Economic and Fiscal Outlook (MYEFO) process, $1 million per year of the retained Catalyst funds was allocated to the ongoing operation of Creative Partnerships Australia from the 2018-19 financial year. The remaining 2017-18 Catalyst funds were reallocated to strategic projects that address urgent needs in other areas of the arts.
The Government's continued investment in Creative Partnerships Australia will support the arts sector – in particular individual artists and small to medium arts organisations. Options for the investment of the remaining funds from 2018-19 onwards are currently being considered.

Frank Peretti: Sleight of Hand
Frank Peretti
After a long hiatus from bookshelves, the blockbuster author returns with Illusion (Howard Books), a novel that blend elements of suspense, mystery and sci-fi. But, he says, the novel is ultimately a celebration of love.
Even with 15 million books in print, there is still awe in Frank Peretti's voice when he talks about storytelling. "Stories can speak to the heart in a very special way," he says. "That's what novels do. They reflect the human experience. We identify with the characters, feel the same emotions, the realization and awareness. Stories work."
He ought to know. Ever since his first novel This Present Darkness hit shelves in 1986 and its sequel Piercing the Darkness followed in 1989, readers across the globe have clamored for more stories from Frank Peretti. It's been six years since his last novel Monster graced the bestseller lists, but this March, Howard Books will release Illusion, the novel we've all been waiting for.
"If people have picked up my Darkness books and read them thinking they're the kind of books I write, they're going to find a big, big difference in Illusion," Peretti says. "I write from my heart wherever the journey takes me. Illusion is a book written by a 60-year-old man who's lived and loved his wife for 40 years and is basically writing about it. That's a much different book than one written by a man in his 30s who's all gaga about angels and demons."
With elements of suspense, mystery, and sci-fi, Illusion tells the tale of Dane and Mandy Collins. For nearly 30 years they've been a popular magic act, sticking together through thick and thin. Then Mandy is killed in a fiery car wreck. Or is she? Playing with the idea of characters crossing dimensions and transversing space, Illusion asks the question, what if you could revert a person back to a previous state? "You know how computers are these days," Peretti says. "You can take them back to the way they were months ago. That's the concept for this whole experiment, this reversion, that goes on in the book. Mandy is surreptitiously carried away at the point of death and reverted, accidentally, 40 years.
"[But at its heart] this novel is a celebration of love and commitment. My favorite part was living and feeling vicariously through Mandy and Dane my own relationship with my sweet wife, Barbara. There's a lot of me and Barb in this book. Of all the characters I've written, right now Mandy is my favorite because she so perfectly embodies faith and hope. She doesn't give up. She trusts God even when she thinks she's crazy in a world where nobody knows her and she has no identity. She still clings to the Lord for her security. She's a Seabiscuit. She's a Rocky. She's just gonna fight her way through and survive."
Many of Peretti's early works have been blatantly evangelistic in their tone and content, but Illusion takes a more subtle approach. "I'm kind of in C.S. Lewis mode here," Peretti adds. "This one is more metaphorical. It's the whole gospel, but it's all couched in a different kind of world. If I can just write a story that talks about how beautiful a love relationship can be, and how wonderful it is for people to be married and in love for 40 years, that in itself is message enough! Illusion is a story of love."
A firm believer in the power of Christian fiction, Peretti doesn't take for granted his calling to build up the body of Christ. "What's art for?" he asks. "It's to communicate ideas on an aesthetic level. The best way to understand the human experience is through a Judeo Christian worldview, because that's where everything falls together and makes sense. I'm a storyteller. My role is to tell a story because a story can give a whole other dimension to a thought."

Sold a Single Family home in 2012 for approximately $425K in Boise neighborhood, Portland, OR.
Johanna is top notch. I've sold and bought 3 homes with her and couldn't imagine using anyone else. I have recommended her often, and always do so with no reservations.
She recently helped me sell a home: We received 6 offers, and it closed without incident. She is a particularly strong strategist and negotiator.

How Low Can Carlos Santana Go?
By Chris Pokorny@DawgsByNature Apr 27, 2011, 8:49am CDT
Share All sharing options for: How Low Can Carlos Santana Go?
The title of this post has two meanings, relating to his batting average and his spot in the batting order.
Let's start off with his batting average. He is hitting just .189 but has batted cleanup in every game he has played. Dating back to last season, Santana is struggling at the plate. You could see how much of a detriment he was to the lineup in the win over the Royals last night. He grounded into two double plays and he struck out with runners at 2nd and 3rd. Guys are getting on base in front of Santana but he has not been able to deliver the punch to give Tribe pitchers more breathing room to work with.
He leads the team in walks with 14. I condone patience, but he is not taking the bat off his shoulders enough, taking way too many first pitch strikes over the inside corner.
What is the solution for Santana? You get the feeling he will break out of it at some point, but moving Santana down in the lineup could be the difference maker in a couple of these closely contested games the Indians are playing. It could also allow Santana to regain some confidence with less pressure on his shoulders. Personally, I think a three-way swap between Grady Sizemore (shifting to cleanup), Michael Brantley (leading off), and Santana (batting seventh) would be enticing. The bottom half of the lineup would feature two guys who like to work the count (Santana and Matt LaPorta).
Manny Acta is likely going to stick to his word and keep the lineup the same as long as the team keeps winning. I just hope I don't pull all of my hair out before Santana finally gets going.

2018 is shaping up to be an exciting year for online marketing, as the rise of data analytics, live video streaming and native advertising permeate a wide variety of business strategies. With online marketing becoming more crowded, businesses are looking for more effective ways to reach their target market, making segmentation more critical than ever before.
One of the biggest demographics that marketers are tapping into are women, who make up more than half of the global population and are by far the biggest users of most social media sites. Women also exhibit different consumption trends and behaviours than their male counterparts, which means marketers must spend more time and energy dissecting this large and growing segment of the market. That's the view of marketing expert Robert Craven, who believes firms must change their approach to marketing to women or risk getting left behind.
To be fair, it's impossible to create a uniform strategy for marketing to all women. The goal of female specific advertising is not to appeal to all women all the time, but to understand how women reach their purchasing decisions and apply that understanding to our marketing campaign. Since the advertising industry is still male dominated, many strategies designed to appeal to women (or both sexes) fall short of speaking to women. According to Martha Barletta, author of the book Marketing to Women, 91% of women say, "Advertisers don't understand us" and as a content marketer I agree.
Women make up about 51% of the adult population, and as they age, represent a bigger share of the market. Women are 54% of consumers aged 50 and over. They represent 57% of all consumers aged 85 and over. In the United States alone, women control about 60% of personal wealth since they are more likely to outlive their spouse.
Women account for $7 trillion in spending and influence 85% of all consumer purchases. Women are the main catalysts behind the purchase of cars, healthcare, housing, food and vacations.
Three-quarters (76%) of online adult women use Facebook. Women also make up the majority of users on Twitter, Instagram, Tumblr and Pinterest.
Shopping: women spend an average of 8.5 years of their life shopping.
Beauty: women are by far the biggest consumers of beauty products, and are more likely to consumer things like fashion magazines and relative TV shows.
Health and Fitness: Research has shown that women tend to be concerned about illness and death, and are therefore more likely to spend money on preventative measures to remain fit and healthy.
Home Furnishings: Women are usually responsible for today's mass-luxury industry, even for dual income households.
Personal Products: Personal products cut across beauty, health and other segments of the market. In the United States alone, women spend more than two times on personal products than their male counterparts.
Therefore, successful marketing campaigns targeted toward women are visual, conversational, and personal; they make active use of social media tools, such as hashtags. Products that gets reviewed by others and encourage sign ups and engagement are also more likely to succeed with the female demographic.
We've seen a surge in inspirational advertising campaigns targeting women in recent years. Below is a look at five of the most popular campaigns.
Barbie didn't always set the best example for young women, I was always more of an action figure girl. Recently though, the brand launched a powerful campaign teaching girls they can be whatever they want. Various possibilities were presented in the 2-minute video, showcasing Barbie's evolution over the decades.
Ram Trucks broke all sorts of stereotypes with its 2015 ad urging women to explore new possibilities. The ad showcases a wide range of women and asks the question, "Have you ever thought I could never do that?" This campaign proved that some of the best campaigns can challenge women's assumptions about themselves by getting them to think differently about their own liberation.
These popular ads all have something in common. They engage, inspire and encourage women to think differently about themselves and to challenge preconceived stereotypes. By doing so, they have the potential to tap into women's brand loyalty.
Build relationships. Women are more likely to respond to campaigns that are personalized, conversational and are in tune with their psychology. And don't just stop at the surface. Use data analytics to really dig into your female audience. That will help you develop a campaign that speaks directly to your target market.
Avoid negativity. Women are much more likely to respond to positive campaigns rather than negative comments about why they should avoid a competitor. In other words, give women positive reasons for doing business with your brand.
Respect women's buying habits. Women are much more likely to shop around before making a purchase. If your product is better than your competitor's, be sure to spell out in detail why that's the case. Make sure you also provide information about warranties and after-sales service. Women will look into the painstaking details to make a decision about a product.
Avoid extremes. Women are rarely extreme in their shopping habits. Your marketing campaign should therefore avoid going to any extreme in reaching out to your audience. Remember, the goal is to cater to all their needs.
Avoid stereotypes. I mentioned earlier that advertising to women isn't some uniform strategy or a blanket process that will suddenly transform all women into potential customers. The goal is to speak to their unique needs using language and themes that resonate with them. As such, you should avoid stereotyping women (positive or negative).
Marketing to women doesn't have to be overly complicated. Depending on your business, you know which demographics are more likely to consume your products and services. Nobody is telling you to deviate from that demographic or disregard everything you already know about your target market. However, marketing to the female splice of your market in unique and original ways will help you get a more favourable response from your female audience.
There is no one-size-fits-all method for reaching out to women. Marketing to them requires the same level of research, trial and error and due diligence as other marketing campaigns. If your goal is truly understand your target market, you should be prepared to do everything necessary to uncover their needs and motivations. One of the best places to start is to acknowledge there are differences between men and women, and to begin marketing on that basis.

Animal Shelter Files for Bankruptcy Stating There Will be No Funds for Unsecured Creditors
Posted on Feb 20, 2014 9:37am PST
Safe Haven Animal Sanctuary, contracted to do dog control in Kent County, has filed for bankruptcy, leaving several creditors, including veterinary hospitals and kennels, with their own crushing financial losses, as reported by Delaware Online.
Most of the money is owed to companies that aided Safe Haven in their efforts to care for the sick and unwanted pets in Delaware.
Safe Haven, known as a no-kill shelter, made a move against several of its supporters when they euthanized 19 dogs before they shuttered in November.
Reportedly Safe Haven has tens of thousands of dollars in debt.
First State Animal Center and the SPCA are two of the creditors listed in the bankruptcy filing. The SPCA is the state's biggest animal control organization.
Safe Haven hoped that they could have been a leader in rescuing pets without performing euthanasia.
Wilmington-based shelter Faithful Friends is also listed in the bankruptcy documents. Faithful Friends is another shelter that works under a no-kill policy.
Safe Haven is a non-profit organization. Their bankruptcy was filed on January 28, just one day before the sheriff was due to sell off some of their property. A lawsuit filed by the construction company that built Safe Haven was also stopped with the bankruptcy filing.
The contractor that built Safe Haven's $3 million building is owed $148,000. They hoped that in filing the civil action they would stand a chance of getting the balance due.
According to meetings Safe Haven had with county officials, the shelter's managers told the county that they had ran out of funds because they had acquired more dogs than they were prepared for, including their new responsibility for taking in stray dogs for all of Kent County.
The owner of Selbyville's Delmarva Pet Resort, T.C., said, "I'm having a hard time paying my bills, because I didn't get paid. They owe me $62,000. I've got the bills. I held 70 dogs for them for four months, and they didn't pay." Delmarva is one of the unsecured creditors and is listed as being owed $28,094 from Safe Haven.
In Safe Haven's bankruptcy report there are debts listed for 20 other entities that total $386,300. There is another list, of all the creditors owed, however it doesn't list the monies owed to each. That list totals 130 companies and people that include volunteers, an executive director, the state's unemployment insurance fund, animal care companies and veterinarians.
The bankruptcy states that once the bankruptcy ends "there will be no funds available for distribution to unsecured creditors."
The U.S. Department of Agriculture is owed $2.7 million and the County Bank in Rehoboth Beach is owed $500,000 – for two separate mortgages taken out on the property. If the land is sold in an auction these two creditors would probably be the first two to collect any money.

Q: Abrir uma outra atividade silenciosamente É o seguinte; adicionei um botão para abrir uma atividade de um outro app. É possível abrir só que silenciosamente, ou seja, anônimo, invisível, minimizado, ou melhor, sem o usuário perceber!?
Intent launchIntent = getPackageManager().getLaunchIntentForPackage("com.exemplo.pacote.MainActivity");
        startActivity(launchIntent);

A: Facilmente não conheço uma forma de fazer isso.
Como o outro app não é seu, por padrão não há como controlar isso, senão seria um problema de segurança. Imagine eu fazer um aplicativo que abra todos do seu aparelho até travar em background?

Fox has given a script commitment plus penalty to Eat Pray Thug, a single-camera comedy from Fresh Off The Boat co-executive producer Sanjay Shah, with Utkarsh Ambudkar (Pitch Perfect, Barbershop 3) attached to star.
Based on the real life of rapper Heems (formerly of hip-hop group Das Racist) and his relationship with his parents who live with him in Queens, Eat Pray Thug centers on a successful rapper (Ambudkar) who chooses to live with his Indian-American parents in Queens.
Shah, who got his start on King Of The Hill and also worked on the Fox/20th comedy series Enlisted, is repped by UTA and attorney Ken Richman. Ambudkar, who has been recurring on The Mindy Project, is repped by Gersh, 3 Arts, and Jackoway Tyerman. Heems is repped by The Agency Group and attorney Theo Sedlmayr.


This is me at work! You may recognize this photo from the other day's tour of the Outlaw Soaps safehouse.
As the head of this little operation, I am responsible for the company strategy (including everything from sales channels to website tone), the marketing, the design, the website, the copy, the newsletters, management of our sales folks (including Elysia and our wholesale sales rep, Mollie), and whatever else happens to come along.
So how do I keep a smile on my face? You!
When we set out to create Outlaw Soaps, we knew the kind of products we wanted to make, and we had a vague idea of what kind of customers we wanted to attract: things we'd want to use, and people we'd want to hang out with, respectively.
As the business has grown and we've gotten more customers, we've been amazed and delighted by the type of people who are interested in our products: super fricken' awesome people who we'd want to hang out with in real life.
Facebook would be so much cooler if people shared nostalgic memories of things they enjoyed about growing up the way they did. I feel similarities could bond people together and differences could help others understand circumstance.
I shared it on my own timeline, and it started a wonderful conversation about our youthful joys.
Elysia and I have been totally amazed by our customers' humor and spirit in all our interactions... we'll chat back and forth for several rounds, just genuinely laughing about whatever happens to happen. We're all people having a good time in this lovely world, and it's great to be able to share this business with such incredible customers.
So, thanks for being the bright spot in what can sometimes be a stressful and strange enterprise.

The Nation was an Australian satirical sketch comedy and discussion series covering the week's events across political and social spectrums, premiering on Tuesday 5 June 2007 at  on the Nine Network.

It was hosted by Mick Molloy with a supportive cast of Akmal Saleh, Jackie O, Tiffany Cherry, Gary Eck, Paul Calleja, Nikki Osborne and Pete Smith as the announcer for the show.  The show was taped at the GTV-9 Melbourne studios in front of a studio audience. The first guests on the show were Peter Garrett, Stephen Curry and Lisa McCune. The final episode was broadcast on Wednesday 29 August 2007.

Ratings
The Nation'''s initial episode was the Nine Network's top rating program within the 16- to 39-year-old demographic in Melbourne, Sydney and the east coast. However, the program was third nationally, beaten by Channel Seven's Crossing Jordan (974,000) and Channel Ten's Numb3rs (910,000). After the first episode, ratings began to decline with the ratings for the second episode dropping just over one fifth of the audience.

Over the course of the series, changes to the format were made. Veteran announcer Pete Smith and WSFM 101.7 compere Amanda Keller were additions to the cast. On 4 July 2007, the Nine Network confirmed that The Nation would move from its primetime Tuesday timeslot to a new time of 10:30pm on Wednesday nights, in direct competition with Ten Late News and Channel Seven's The Unit.

The ratings for episodes were as follows:
 Episode 1: 772,000
 Episode 2: 610,000
 Episode 3: 626,000
 Episode 4: 575,000

 Episode 11: 413,000.

Criticism
The Herald Sun reported that The Nation'' had received a mixed reaction on the initial episode, with dozens of viewers complaining to the Nine Network about bad-taste jokes made on-air.

Alice in Chains es el tercer álbum homónimo de la banda de grunge Alice in Chains. Es su tercer álbum de larga duración, ya que Jar of Flies se considera EP y no un álbum completo. El álbum era conocido también como Tripod, ya que en la carátula aparece un perro con tres patas. Otro nombre usado era Lucky, basado en una antigua broma inglesa. La edición en CD venía en dos versiones, una con el estuche púrpura transparente y con el lomo amarillo verdoso, y otra con la combinación al revés. Este es el primer álbum de estudio de la banda para el bajista Mike Inez y el último disco de estudio que cuenta con el vocalista Layne Staley antes de su muerte en 2002.

Aunque no tuvo tanto éxito como Dirt, el álbum obtuvo 2 veces disco de platino en los Estados Unidos (EE. UU.), a pesar de no tener apoyo mediante conciertos debido al pésimo estado de salud del vocalista Layne Staley a causa de las drogas. Alice in Chains es considerado por los fanes como un álbum memorable, gracias a un estilo un poco más lento y "pesado" y sus líricas al borde de lo morboso, en canciones como Grind, Head Creeps o Frogs.

Con la excepción de Grind, Heaven Beside You y Over Now, todas las letras fueron escritas por Layne Staley, haciendo de este álbum su mayor contribución lírica a la banda. También compuso íntegramente el tema Head Creeps, como también hizo con Hate to Feel y Angry Chair del álbum Dirt.

Home Blogs The Transforming Power Of True Worship
The Transforming power of true worship
Blog by Blesson Varghese
There is a magnificent story I read some years ago. The book told of the sufferings of some genuine spiritual people in a country, where so much wrong had been perpetrated by the politicized hierarchy. That which has gone on in the name of God for the enriching and empowering of corrupt religious officials has been a terrible affront to decency.
One day a disciple by the name of Jakov arrived in a certain village. He commiserated with an elderly man named Cimmerman on the tragedies he had experienced and talked to him of the love of God. Cimmerman abruptly interrupted Jakov and told him that he wished to have nothing to do with God & truth. He reminded Jakov of the dreadful history of his town, a history replete with plundering, exploiting, and indeed with killing innocent people. "My own nephew was killed by them," he said and angrily rebuffed any effort on Jakov's part to talk about God's love. "They wear those elaborate coats and caps and symbols," he said, "signifying a heavenly commission, but their evil designs and lives I cannot ignore."
Jakov, looking for an occasion to get Cimmerman to change his line of thinking, said, "Cimmerman, can I ask you a question? Suppose I were to steal your coat, put it on, and break into a bank. Suppose further that the police sighted me running in the distance but could not catch up with me. One clue, however, put them onto your track; they recognized your coat. What would you say to them if they came to your house and accused you of breaking into the bank?"
"I would deny it," said Cimmerman.
"'Ah, but we saw your coat,' they would say," retorted Jakov. This analogy quite annoyed Cimmerman, who ordered Jakov to leave his home.
Jakov however continued to return to the village periodically just to befriend Cimmerman, encourage him, and share the love of God, with him. Finally one day Cimmerman asked, "How does one become a true shisya?" and Jakov taught him the simple steps of admitting his sins, turning away from it, seeking God for the provisions for restitution and gently pointed him to the Shepherd of his soul. Cimmerman bent his knee on the soil with his head bowed and surrendered his life to God. As he rose to his feet, wiping his tears, he embraced Jakov and said, "Thank you for being in my life." And then he pointed to the heavens and whispered, "You wear His coat very well."
Fascinating aint it? While the story highlights us to be fully cognizant to wear our coats conforming to the glory and worth of the one whom we worship. It also illustrates another powerful principle. Psalms 115 makes a powerful point "Worship is a powerful way for transformation; it transforms us to become more like the one whom we worship and put our trust in". To illustrate - those who trust and owe their allegiance to illegitimate pleasures ultimately find their lives to be futile and ebbing away, just like the pleasures behind which they were running after. For those who worship violence, violent will be their lives. Those who believe life to be an illusion or purposeless existence will ultimately be found struggling for meaning in their life.
Hence it necessitates a deeper search for truth and verification of the same before we commit our allegiance and worship. Its not just all about the smoke, bells and smells, its much beyond what is being offered and the honesty with which it is offered, it necessitates that we look further and in to a more deeper level than the flowers and their colors, before we close our eyes and bend our heads for worship.
What is it that is transforming you? Whose Coat are you wearing?

PositiveDetroit Highlights AlphaUSA's Efforts to Save the SS United States
Local blogger PositiveDetroit posted an article featuring AlphaUSA and their support of the SS United States Conservancy's effort to Save The United States!
You can read the article here.
Author alphadavid
At AlphaUSA, we know how important it is for high-schoolers to get engaged in the sciences early and we appreciate how Kettering University looks to share the real world applications of engineering with teen-aged women through it's LITE program. LITE stands for Lives Improve Through Engineering, and students enrolled in the program learn how engineering really affects our day-to-day lives through practical experiences like designing life-saving car parts to constructing replacement limbs. The ladies even explore the exciting science behind the latest crime solving techniques. The competitive program hosts 36 students from across the country on the campus for a two-week-long learning experience.
Alpha was proud to sponsor three Livonia women who were accepted into the program through the George and Christine Strumbos Scholarship, Melisa Savich and Erin Brown from Stevenson High School and Jessica Suer from Franklin High School. The students traveled to the Kettering University Campus in Flint, Michigan where they were introduced to the art of engineering. College faculty taught classes and labs, field trips to see engineering in action, and upper-class-man mentorship gave the ladies a memorable experience that will give them a head start on their future in engineering.
Who knows, maybe some the Alpha scholars will be inspired by the LITE program and become a part of the next wave of great AlphaUSA engineers!

Kids On Campus
The question "what did you do one your summer vacation?" isn't usually answered with "took a class in High Tech Manufacturing", especially if you're talking with a 5th grader. This summer, AlphaUSA sent 12 students in grades 5 through 12 to Schoolcraft College's Kids on Campus program, their initiative to introduce both middle and high-schoolers to college-level, higher education. The camp offers a wide variety of week-long classes in everything from the arts to traditional academic skills. The Alpha students spent their summer taking classes in structure and design, robotics, manufacturing, and entrepreneurship.
Each day, Alpha shuttled the kids to Schoolcraft's campus, where they would then gain exposure to non-traditional subjects in a college setting. The Schoolcraft classes are taught by professionals within their fields and content experts in a dynamic and diverse social environment. The program is built to be fun with hands-on learning in an interactive environment, but it also acts as an introduction to college that will build excitement and encourage motivation. The students were given both a unique summer adventure (that they can boast about when they return to school in the fall) and a learning experience that will stick with them throughout their education.

60 years ago today, the SS United States, the greatest ocean liner ever built, departed on a record-breaking maiden voyage. A week later she returned home to a hero's welcome and ticker tape parade. Once air travel became the preferred means of transportation, the SS United States was eventually taken out of service. She has passed from owner to owner and now sits in Philadelphia, slowly deteriorating. Once the pride of a nation, the vessel is close to being lost forever.
In February of last year, the president of Philadelphia-based TurnaSure introduced AlphaUSA's president, Chuck Dardas, to the SS United States Conservancy's "Save Our Ship" movement to preserve our nation's flagship. As a company we were immediately drawn to the superliner and her story.
The famed naval architect William Francis Gibbs designed the superliner. Constructed entirely in the United States she served a dual-purpose. In peaceful times she would be the world's finest passenger liner, but if called upon, she could be converted to a troop carrier in two-days time, transporting 10,000 troops anywhere in the world. The ship that bears the name of this great land became an inspiration to this veteran-owned company.
The ship was built to be a "super" liner, at the cutting edge of technology — the largest ocean liner constructed almost completely of aluminum and she broke speed records on her maiden voyage. To this day, the SS United States still holds the record for fastest transatlantic passenger travel, and to this day she is a manufacturing and engineering marvel.
Feeling a strong affinity for the industrial-know-how and American Pride that went into creating the SS United States, AlphaUSA took on the Conservancy's effort as its own. Charged by our attendance at TEDx, and moved by local Detroit crowdfunding efforts, we suggested a unique online fundraiser. The Conservancy liked the idea, and looked to AlphaUSA to turn it into a reality.
For over a year now, AlphaUSA has been leading the design and outreach efforts for Save the United States, a national campaign to restore America's Flagship, a groundbreaking fundraising experience that will teach new generations about the ship and allow supporters to take part in her restoration in a very personal way. After all the hard work, we can't believe it will finally launch to the public this month. AlphaUSA is proud to be a part of this historic effort and looks forward to inviting our local community to get involved in her restoration.

A Little Help Goes a Long Way
As mentioned in November, Alpha worked together with the Livonia AM Rotary Club, the Churchill Rotary Interact Club, and St. Mary Mercy Hospital to contribute supplies in an effort to help Bawock, Cameroon. Dr. Stanley Ngeyi, a Rotarian and Madonna University Professor, regularly visits his home village, and recently returned to Livonia bringing back with him pictures and stories of success.
Last fall, a container full of medical supplies was shipped from Livonia; it arrived while Dr. Ngeyi was visiting the village over the holidays. The people of Bawock were excited to receive the much needed medicines as well as the gifts of rice and wine from Dr. Stanley.
With Bawock's medical clinic rebuilt, and their maternity clinic almost completed, it's amazing to see that a little help can stretch over 6,000 miles from Livonia to Cameroon.

When did you start Pilates and what inspired you to start?
I started Pilates semi-privates with a friend years ago, but when I tripped over the dog and broke my hip in April 2016, all that stopped. I did everything that was recommended by the professionals to decrease the pain and get my range of motion, flexibility and balance back, but after 2 years of sequences of physical therapy, energy work, massage, Rolfing, nutrition, hot yoga, cardio and weight training, I was still limited and painful. My physical therapist recommended Pilates, and I had heard good things about Rivercity Pilates. I met with Carey and heard about the team she had assembled. I had a new hope that I could really get back to my baseline functioning and I decided to try.
How often do you practice Pilates and what type of sessions or classes have you been doing?
I started with private sessions with Shelley Mockler, backed up by Carey due to my crazy schedule, and adding in Sara for NRT and also yoga. After I got stronger, less painful and more confident, I began picking up an additional Pilates/Yoga class a week. I had the good fortune to retire in October, and now I am able to do classes at least 4 times a week, plus continuing my privates with Shelley.
What benefits or improvements have you noticed in your body and life from doing Pilates?
I am so grateful that Shelley, Sara, Carey, Nick, Nancy, Janee and all the other instructors who collaborate and build upon each other's sessions to help me achieve my goals. I have made more progress in the last 8 months at Rivercity than I did with all the other therapies in the two years before I got here! I am now pain free, and have the strength and mobility to take a variety of Pilates equipment classes (except Reformer Jumpboard–but soon!), Yoga, and most recently, Barre and Pilates Mat class. I sleep better, I eat better (motivated by my physical progress), and I am calmer about the future.
Do you have a favorite exercise or piece of equipment (or both)?
I love the Tower and the Reformer, and of course I couldn't do without the yoga blocks! The Cadillac has been the most interesting piece of equipment, and has allowed me to move in ways I did not think I could. I am not sure I will ever become adept at the OOV! The variety of equipment here is amazing. My previous studio had Reformers and a Cadillac, and I know that I would not have made the progress that I have without the team here and the equipment that they are so skilled in using.
What would you say to someone who is thinking about doing Pilates?
I would say take the leap and try it– if you don't like it, you can always quit; but if you don't try it, you will never know the benefits and the amazing personal gains that can be made at this studio. I started slow, and as I made progress, I was able to do more and now can't imagine life without it!


Whether you like it or not, the aftermarket wheel industry is making great strides these days. Unfortunately, in most cases, it's not recognized by the general public overall. That is, if we dig deeper beyond how cool the wheels look like. To many, the education of the public perception, owners, dealers and others is the key ingredient in making the aftemarket wheel industry get accepted by pundits and conservative crowds in the automotive world then.
For many, ADV.1 Wheels have been at the fore front front of the wheel industry in the last few years. Yes, they've had their share of controversy – like everybody else. But, for the most part, their expertise and engineering prowess is combined with marketing efforts seldom seen in the automotive industry. This yields some rather exciting builds.
This Lamborghini Huracan LP-610-4 is equipped with some of ADV.1's latest wheel solutions in both design and craftsmanship, respectively. The company recently made a move to their in-house production & design center, creating wheels that certainly have all the advancements available. This set of ADV5 MV.2 CS wheels is the perfect example of their newly introduced company policy in every single area.
The MV.2 wheels are actually a two-piece setup that yields some interesting things. First, they offer customers with a wider range of possible sizes/widths. Second, they can maintain a monoblock outlook – even with a two-piece wheel. Include titanium hardware, pocket material removal and excellent engineering work that yields a lightweight wheel setup, then you have a perfect aftermarket wheel setup for a vehicle like this.
