Self Hate and Skin Bleaching Exposed [Lisa Raye Mcroy Directs 'SKINNED' Official Trailer]

By Shauna Harris

Lisa Raye directs 'SKINNED', a movie staring Jasmine Burke as a young girl suffering from self-hate of her skin color. One of the most difficult discussions that needs to be re-visited in the Black community, 'SKINNED' addresses the use of skin bleaching products to achieve a lighter appearance. Many products used for skin bleaching cause scathing side effects, as the desire to be "Light-Skinned" becomes a epidemic among Black people. A big thumbs up to Lisa Raye Mcroy for presenting this topic to Black audiences, and bringing awareness to world-wide struggle of discrimination of color and self-hate.

Loretta Lynch to replace Eric Holder as Attorney General


By Shauna Harris

President Obama has nominated Loretta Lynch for the role Attorney General of The United States Of America. Loretta Lynch will replace Eric Holder, who announced his resignation September 25th, 2014. She studied at Harvard Law school, and is the current United States Attorney of the Eastern District of New York.

 She was chosen by President Obama for that position as well, which covers a district that includes Brooklyn, Queens, Staten Island, and Long Island. 



Loretta Lynch's great-great-grandfather escaped to freedom, and re-entered slavery to marry and her great-great-grandmother. 

Her grandfather, who was a pastor and sharecropper, help Blacks escape the cruelty of the Jim Crow practices of her hometown of Greensboro. Her father participated in the sit in's of the 60's, often with Loretta present. 

 Lynch, 55, is known for being the Brooklyn prosecutor in a high profile NYPD brutality case stemming from the 1997 assault of Haitian Immigrant named Abner Louima. The NYPD officers were accused of beating and sodomizing Louima.

Online Marketing 2014 Techniques to Easily Sell Hiphop Instrumentals


by Karena Taboada


This is training for a beat--promoting online business. Right here you can learn alot of about selling Beats on the internet. I´m the CEO of Beatersweets. It is a platform to purchase Beats or perhaps Sample Packages for the purpose of music creation. With the tips below, it is possible to increase your Beats providing online business massively.

Beat Advertising Overview -- Three primary tips:       

Preparations
Get connected to purchasers
Have your own web page

 Preparations
At first when you start thinking about promoting your own Beats on-line you should have a great selection of qualitative beats. It's important to usually to have more than 15 beats.
Without having following that plan, it´s very hard to discover consumers. Just think about the rivals. 


Whenever you look for Hip Hop beats you can find plenty of qualitative Beats. No one will probably buy poor beats if they have the options to receive very high quality beats.
Also, by using low quality beats you will appear unprofessional in order to potential customers!


Connect to potential customers
By using web pages like "Facebook, ", "Twitter", "Soundclick" or "YouTube" it is simple to generate advertising.
So get an profile on the leading web pages and start symbolizing yourself or your brand now.
"RocBattle", "Soundclick" and "BeatBrokerz" are great online sites where you can advertise your Beats. This are the alternate options to your own website, but I am going to explain precisely why your individual web page is definitely the best method to promote Beats on-line.

If you have several shoppers at one time, then it´s very important to have a good relationship direct to them, simply because they might be your current standard buyers. Extremely helpful usually are newsletters. When you have made some new beats, send the consumers a good newsletter. When they like your style, they will come back and buy more of your beats.

Getting your own online website
With your own individual websites it is a better appeal to the visitor, and they are mainly concentrating on your beats.
One example is: On "RocBattle", "Soundclick" or "Beatbrokerz" visitors will discover the actual beats by million of many sellers. That's exactly why it´s essential to have several beats to choose from on your website.

In case you have no clue how to build your individual website, you can learn web-page coding computer programming on your own (you will need up around a single week to educate yourself the basics, or you can work with someone.
Paying someone is easier but will be expensive, and you have to really trust other people.
You will need to only find out html fundamentals. That will be enough because you can simply put a good flash player to your website. The best flash player for audio with PayPal connection is actually by "myflashstore".

Conclusion
If you follow all of these three important tips, the doors to make dollars by promoting rap beats are wide open!

Preparing and creating these necessities are all part of marketing your business. Many small businesses do their business marketing on their own instead of employing a PR solutions firm due to their budget. There are many public relations resources available on the internet for business owners who choose to do their own marketing.

When it comes to the basics of public relations creating a media contact list is important to getting your business news out to the general public. In order to do this one needs to check with journalists and editors of magazines, radio stations, and newspapers for publishing their press releases.

Some will even offer news alert services which will allow you to receive automatic notifications when news is available for keyword search terms or your industry.

Another good public relations resource is media directories which can help a small business find bloggers and journalists that would be interested in reporting on their business to build their media contact list.

There are even sites that will allow one to post their press releases for free. Some sites will go into detail on just what type of content should be placed in the press release and other pertinent information of general public relations practices. There are even sites that will evaluate your press release to ensure that it's quality to give your business the exposure it needs.

Another public relations resource could be to invest in PR software, which you can also find free through some websites. One needs to be careful about the software they choose however because they aren't created equal.

There are a variety of tools and sites that can assist small and medium businesses with their public relations efforts. The time it takes to get adjusted, write the material, have it evaluated, and then posted can be more consuming and challenging, especially if you're not familiar with public relation tasks. The competition however is fierce between PR solution firms and these businesses may be better to opt for finding a firm that fits within their budget.

Firms that provide their services for marketing and branding your business have the knowledge and experience to get your business noticed.

Re-thinking Progress: The Circular Economy

This is a snippet from Wikipedia about circular economics:

In their 1976 research report to the European Commission, “The Potential for Substituting Manpower for Energy”, Walter Stahel and Genevieve Reday sketched the vision of an economy in loops (or circular economy) and its impact on job creation, economic competitiveness, resource savings, and waste prevention. The report was published in 1982 as a book Jobs for Tomorrow: The Potential for Substituting Manpower for Energy.[3]
Considered as one of the first pragmatic and credible sustainability think tanks, the main goals of Stahel’s institute are product-life extension, long-life goods, reconditioning activities, and waste prevention. It also insists on the importance of selling services rather than products, an idea referred to as the “functional service economy” and sometimes put under the wider notion of “performance economy” which also advocates “more localization of economic activity”.[4]
In broader terms, the circular approach is a framework that takes insights from living systems. It considers that our systems should work like organisms, processing nutrients that can be fed back into the cycle—whether biological or technical—hence the “closed loop” or “regenerative” terms usually associated with it.



RIP Chris Kelly
