Faces of Violence & Survival Event

Kandee Lewis of The Positive Results Corporation, in partnership with Alisa Orduna of Callie Rose Literary Arts Café

hosted ‘Faces of Violence and Survival.

This event was designed to give domestic violence survivors the

opportunity to share their truth, while shattering the negative im-

ages that many have of the victims and those fortunate enough to

survive such horrific events. A full wall was dedicated to the women that participated and shared their experi-

ences. Some lost their lives at the hand of their abuser and families share their picture and story for others to

gain understanding and strength.

The City of Carson came out in force for this all-day festival featuring non-stop cultural and patriotic perfor-mances and various entertainment for the entire family, marking the 111th anniversary of Philippine Independ-ence Day. The event at Veterans Park, fea-tured non-stop entertainment, brought out big names in the Filipino pop music industry, local bands and cultural groups.

The annual celebration is a joint un-dertaking of the City of Carson and the Philippine Independence Day Foundation

Antioch Church of Long Beach has been a bea-

con of light in the local community of Long

Beach, California. On January 10, 1961 Rever-

end and Mrs. Joe Chaney, Jr., along with five

other people in their home laid the foundation

of Antioch Church of Long Beach. Under the

dynamic and inspirational leadership of Rever-

end Joe Chaney, Antioch’s membership grew rapidly, necessitating the need to move from a rented

room on the third floor of Morgan Hall on Eighth and Locust in downtown Long Beach.

With less than 50 members and a treasury almost empty, an “impossible dream” came true. The church

by faith purchased the church building and property located at 16th and Gundry where it currently

stands. On the third Sunday in August of 1961, Antioch Missionary Baptist Church held its first service in

the new building with Dr. Timothy Chambers, Sr. as the guest preacher. Antioch’s membership grew

from five in 1961, to a membership of over 2,500. The first building site was remodeled in 1975, and in

1984 Antioch was rebuilt, adding educational spaces for Sunday School and Discipleship classes, a dining

facility and meeting rooms available for use by various community organizations. The new building struc-

The days are growing longer and nights are getting warmer, which means it’s the season for summer entertaining.

To help ensure you’ve got all the essentials for a great summer party, Farmer’s Garden by Vlasic put together a list of barbecue menu must-haves. Get ready to fire up the grill and enjoy.

Signature Marinade

If you really want to leave your guests impressed, have a signature marinade in your recipe arsenal. Try this delicious recipe for cilantro-lime and yo-gurt marinade, which uses Farmer’s Garden by Vlasic brine. The acid in pickle juice helps tenderize the meat, and the extra fresh vegetables and spic-es add a fantastic depth of flavor.

Side of Slaw

Melt-in-your-mouth foods pair wonderful-

ly with a bright, crunchy side, which is why

it’s key to always serve cool cole slaw at a

barbecue. Try using Farmer’s Garden

Bread and Butter Chips mixed with apples

as a slaw to add some delectable crunch to

pulled pork sliders.

Potato Salad

Taking a leisurely morning stroll through a

farmer’s market is sure to have one re-

turning home with a bag full of fresh, sea-

sonal produce. The perfect way to use this

farm fresh taste is in a classic summer dish

– a quick and delicious roasted potato sal-

ad. This crowd pleaser is the perfect side

for your next backyard barbecue.

T he City of Carson and the Carson Cultur-al Arts Foundation will be presenting non-stop entertainment and fun activities for

the entire family as it hosts the 2013 Juneteenth Rhythm and Blues Celebration on June 15. The festivities will take place from 11 a.m. - 6 p.m. at Mills Park located at 1340 E. Dimondale Drive in Car-son. The event is open to the public and admission is free.

Headlining this year’s event is famed R&B artist, How-ard Hewitt, along with Texas Blues Guitarist, Guitar Shorty. Also performing are G Mack & the Polyester Players, Sophisticated Dance, Inc., Blackqsax, Karen Evans, Aalon, and Judson Baptist Church Mass Choir.

Aside from non-stop entertainment, Juneteenth also features various stage activi-ties, carnival games for kids, a variety of arts and crafts, food and display booths. Juneteenth marks the date in history when African-American slaves in Texas first re-ceived word that all slaves were free. The news came to Texas in June 1865, two and a half years after Abraham Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation.

(BPT) The work-from-home movement

has gained so much steam, there is

now a Telework Week, which will be

held this year from March 3 to 7 to

encourage companies to give it a

try. However, many businesses re-

main concerned that if employees

work from home, productivity may

suffer. To help businesses and em-

ployees ensure that time spent work-

ing from home does not hamper

productivity, follow these five tips.

* Answer the phone. Not answering

your phone while teleworking makes

you look bad because coworkers will

speculate you’re not being productive.

OfficeSuite offers mobile twinning that

will ring two phones simultaneously so

you never miss a call.

* Keep your surroundings to yourself.

Good natured grumbling will only re-

main good natured for so long if you

constantly remind your coworkers

you’re working from the deck or next

to the pool. Being cozy has its benefits

over cube life but that doesn’t mean

those stuck in the office want to hear

about it, especially if they had to go

out in the cold or sit in rush hour

traffic.

Five tips to make the

benefits of working

from home work for

you

* Ensure you have the right tools to

do the job. Encourage your business’s

leaders to use modern technology to

the fullest through a communications

system that seamlessly integrates the

office with employees’ homes. Office-

Suite by Broadview Networks makes

working from home easier than ever by

essentially turning any phone into a

“work phone.” Ring groups provide the

functionality of two lines for the price of

one and the digital receptionist can be

used to answer calls and route them to

voice mail, a mobile phone or any other

phone in the world, depending on your

* Set projects aside for teleworking. Some projects cater more easily to

telework than others. As you plan out your work week, deadlines obviously

take center stage, but after that, look at your projects and determine which

ones can be done at home. Identifying those projects and capitalizing on the

opportunity will make your telework time more productive.

* Keep your team on the same page. By using cloud-based document

storage solutions like Google Drive, collaboration among team members in

different locations becomes much easier. A solution that manages workflow

and tracks edits and feedback within documents lets team members see the

status of a project in real time.

Orange is the New Black is Back--Celebrate with

These #OITNB-Inspired Beauty Treatments

Sure, it's supposed to be a gorgeous, 80-degree weekend, blah, blah, blah. But for

fans of Netflix's Orange Is the New Black, the next few days will be all about binge-

watching the show's second season. So while you're couch-bound for the next 48

hours, work in a few of these beauty treatments inspired by the show's characters.

Paint your nails orange…or black. No explanation

needed. Chanel nail polish in Orange Fizzis the perfect

summery pedicure shade--but if you're in more of a

Nicky-badass kind of mood, go black with Chanel nail

polish in Black Satin instead.

Do a color-protective treatment. What does hair color

have to do with OITNB? In addition to creator Jenji Ko-

han's famous bright blue shade, one of the main charac-

ters is named for her fiery locks. Take care of your color

by doing an at-home gloss treatment (slather John

Frieda Clear Shine Luminous Glaze over your hair, watch

an episode, then rinse it out after) for tons of shine or

use a color-depositing conditioner to refresh your

shade.

Depuff your under-eyes. Call it the anti-Crazy-Eyes. Apply stick-on treatment patches,

like Skyn Iceland Hydro Cool Firming Eye Gels, which brighten and perk up eyes after

just one use.

We heart our dandelions Taylor Schilling,

Uzo Aduba and Danielle Brooks. #OITNB
