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
