New Book Is About Woman Empowerment

Ormond Beach, FL (Vocus/PRWEB) December 08, 2010

Profound thoughts and ideas on feminism await readers as author C.F. Thomas, Ph.D. presents Women's Lives, Men's Myths: Snakeoil, Patriarchy, and the old God Trick, made available through Xlibris. Written twenty years ago, this volume began as the authors dissertation that has become a psychological, theological, and literary book designed for women.


Emerging from her desire to integrate and synthesize an interdisciplinary background and scholarship in psychology, literature, and theology, Thomas developed a union that focuses on a core curriculum in womens studies. As women came together to dialogue, with new concepts and information from a wide variety of sources, something wonderful began to happennew texts emerged in the form of poetry, journals, songs, autobiographies, family histories, and short stories.


It was my intent then and now to illuminate that we do not want to know what we do not know; thus, we tell lies to ourselves and one another, lies we tell so often and so loudly that we ultimately believe they are true, the author states.


Women's Lives, Men's Myths: Snakeoil, Patriarchy, and the old God Trick submits that the real battle in the twenty-first century will be the battle for truth versus the ancient and superstitious myths and the harm they have done and are continuing to do. This book examines why and how these myths originated and the catastrophic disasters they have perpetrated and will continue to perpetuate. Ultimately this text submits the need for a return to a more woman, earth, and universe-centered mode of care and concern.


For more information on this book, interested parties may log on to http://www.Xlibris.com.

Not Another Tie: SailorBags Offers Tips to Make Fathers Day All About Dad

Victor, NY (PRWEB) June 02, 2011

So many people have given their dads ties on Father's Day. This year, SailorBags (http://www.sailorbags.com) suggests doing something a little different to put a smile on his face.


Here are some tips for how to do just that:


1. Perform some recon.

It works in his favorite movies, so it'll work for dad too. If youre local, see how he spends his free time. Over the phone, listen to what he talks about. Its likely that things have changed since you borrowed the car as a teen, and you may find he's revealing more than youd expect.


Is he a man of simple tastes? Is he always losing his glasses, or does he express a desire that something be fixed around the house? Youll have a list to go on, and enough to use for his birthday or the holidays too.


2. Remember that this is about him, not you.

When you go to the store, keep that recon handy. You might be drawn to the new fangled golf gadget, but if you noticed his preference for the tried-and-true one he already owns, don't go there. He'll appreciate that you knew better than to get him something he won't use.


That is the trick with buying for your parents, isn't it? Taking yourself out of the equation. Dad might want to return to the same restaurant each year or buy the same brand of fishing tackle over and over. If he's happy, Fathers Day is a success.


3. When in doubt, ask.

Most dads don't mind not being surprised. If you are really not sure, ask what would make him happy.


And then? Do it. Simple.


If the dads in your life love the outdoors, consider a lightweight, sturdy carrier for all of his favorite stuff, said Anne Zimmer, president, SailorBags. SailorBags offers a variety to suit every hobby and interest and all guaranteed for life: from cooler bags to take to the game to dopp kits for traveling or totes and duffel bags to organize and protect boating gear.


The full line of SailorBags can be personalized for any individual, business, retail store, college, or sports club. They make ideal corporate gifts for colleagues and customers, as well as perfect regatta trophies and prizes.


The SailorBags line of products can be purchased at http://www.sailorbags.com and in retail stores, gift boutiques and marine shops across the country. Regular product pricing starts at $ 17.50. Wholesale pricing is available for qualifying orders. Contact a SailorBags event/gift specialist at 1-800 639-1754 to discuss your customization needs.

The NPD Group: iTunes Store Still Mostly About Music

Port Washington, NY (PRWEB) September 28, 2011

According to a new report from The NPD Group, a leading market research company, one in four (51 million) U.S. Internet users now use iTunes, which is an increase of 3 percent since last year. Despite steady growth in app downloads on Apple devices, music remains the primary activity for the average iTunes user. More than half (54 percent) of all iTunes users uploaded music to an iPod or listened to music on iTunes in the past three months, while 28 percent downloaded a free app (an increase of 4 percent over the prior year) and 16 percent paid to download an app (also up 4 percent).


According to NPDs iTunes User Report 2011, the total number of U.S. consumers purchasing content from iTunes increased by one million people this year, and a larger percentage of those purchases came from app buyers. Last year 82 percent of iTunes content buyers purchased music, while just 31 percent purchased apps; however, in 2011 just 75 percent of iTunes content buyers purchased music, while 39 percent purchased apps. iTunes video buyers declined by 1 percentage point to 19 percent this year. On the device side, NPD noted that consumers who only used iPads were less likely than those using either iPods or iPhones to buy music and rent movies, primarily because of the attention being paid to apps and games.


Theres no reason the music or video industry should accept a loss of buyers, as device preferences change, said Russ Crupnick, senior vice president and entertainment analyst for The NPD Group They have significant opportunities to foster discovery, engagement, and purchases using the tablet platform.


The beauty of the iPad is that it brings together social media, access to artist websites, apps from IMDb, and Flixster, and Pandora and other streaming radio sites, all of which can be cross-leveraged to foster more awareness of movies and music, Crupnick continued. There is a continuing opportunity to build video and music revenue by creating a linear path from content discovery to content purchasing.


The information in this press release is based on The NPD Groups iTunes User Report 2011, which is based on 4,011 completed surveys from qualified respondents (age 13 and older) conducted in May 2011. Each respondent reported using iTunes at least once in the past three months. Statistical significance testing has been employed at the 95 percent confidence level.

According to Mark Herlan, Social Media is About to Secure its Place as a Business Tool

Atlanta, GA (PRWEB) August 22, 2011

Recent studies have made Mark J. Herlan, CEO of ENPOL, change how he thinks about social media. One such survey from Duke University, The CMO Survey, cmosurvey.org, shows that currently about 6% of marketing dollars are spent on social media but that number will triple over the next five years. At one time, having a strong reputation was enough to guarantee steady revenue but it is no longer that simple. A successful business can not afford to seem aloof or unreachable; it must have a public face. It needs someone that the clients feel that they can connect with and trust, which is why so many companies are embracing social media sites like Twitter and Facebook.

Denver, CO (PRWEB) November 21, 2011

The new Bradford blog is devoted to helping Coloradans solve common legal problems on their own and to demystify the use of legal forms to help run their businesses, their households, and their lives. The blog is designed to be a resource where individuals and businesses can find timely, topical and relevant Colorado-specific information about how to resolve legal issues they face every day.


The blog is intended to answer some of the questions people have about starting a business, leasing property, selling or buying a home, going through a divorce, entering a same-sex marriage, or creating a will, but does not provide legal advice or opinions. Bradford Publishing always recommends that consumers consult an attorney for help with their specific situation.


The marketing team at Bradford Publishing works closely with customer service to know which kinds of forms customers are asking about, watches the news for particular problems consumers are dealing with, and identifies common issues that attorneys are hearing about in their practices. From there they plan which topics to tackle in the weekly blogs.


Bradford Publishing is not a law firm, but works with many respected attorneys as authors. Count on them sharing their wisdom in this blog.
