SF Bay Area Filipina Actress, Giovannie Espiritu, Appears in Series Targeted for LOGO TV, Pilot Premieres on October 6 at The Grand Lake Theater at 6pm

SF Bay Area actress Giovannie Espiritu challenges perceptions of Asian women in her role as a gender-fluid Filipina in Dyke Central a new series targeted for LOGO, a Cable TV channel that targets the gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) communities. Espiritu plays Gin, an integral character in the gender and ethnically diverse cast. Gin offers a very different gender-expression experience for viewers compared to the other main characters in the series - a self-identified butch lesbian, a bisexual woman and a lesbian femme.

"This whole project has made me question what is real in people's perceptions of attractiveness," said Espiritu. "We are surrounded today by images of what we are 'supposed' to think is sexy or desirable. It was a revelation to me when someone told me I was 'hot' as Gin beca fashion coats online use I felt so not-what-we-are-taught is attractive, in terms of being a female. That opened my eyes. I think this series will do the same for others as they witness the lives of the characters unfold."

Dyke Central is a dramedy, based in Oakland, which centers on 30-something butch roommates Alex and Gin. The first season sees Alex attempting to sustain her dysfunctional relationship with girlfriend Jackie, in the face of new life options and the resurfacing of an old flame. Gin, on the other hand, is a chameleon whose identity changes with every new interest and who tends to lose herself in others. Surrounded by a diverse group of friends who guide, challenge and support them, Alex and Gin struggle to adapt to change and create balance in their lives without losing themselves.

Dyke Central premieres Thursday, October 6, at The Renaissance Grand Lake Theater in Oakland at 7:00pm.

The premiere is sponsored by the Brown Boi Project. It will be hosted by D'Lo (a queer Tamil Sri L.A.nkan-American, political theatre artist/writer, director, comedian and music producer) and will include a fashion show featuring the new MoC clothing line – Marimacho; Distinguished Cravat; and Young & Faithful. There will also be musical performances from such talents as Jurni Rayne plus the opportunity to meet the cast in person, as well as mingle with special guests such as Rose Troche (director/producer of Go Fish, The L Word).

Survey Shows Shoppers on Smartphones Do More Research Than Buying; Tablet Users Research and Buy

TechBargains.com, a leading deal curation website for electronic products, released its 2011 Holiday Mobile Shopping Survey, revealing that while the number of mobile shoppers is increasing dramatically, they are using their mobile devices to research products more than they use it to make purchases. Shoppers are comfortable making purchases from their home computers, but are more hesitant using their tablets and mobile phones to buy online. The survey found that 58% of shoppers have made purchases via their mobile phone as compared to 94% who have made purchases via laptops and 75% via tablets. For those who shop with their phone, 79% use it to research products, 73% to browse stores and 77% to compare prices. Of the 58% percent of shoppers who make purchases via their mobile devices, 69% use both the mobile browser and apps to buy products (18% only use apps, 13% only use a mobile browser).

What consumers are purchasing also differs from their buying behavior on laptops. Laptop shoppers' most popular items to buy online are consumer products like clothing and electronics, but shoppers buy more digital products like music and apps on their mobile devices. On mobile phones 70% of shoppers purchased digital goods, 60% purchased consumer products, 46% purchased services, and 38% purchased consumable goods. The majority of shoppers (76%) say ease of use is the reason they would buy one category of products over another and 34% cite price point as the reason why they would buy in one category over another.

"While the use of mobile devices is increasing, our survey results strongly indicate that mobile devices are currently much better for window shopping than for buying -- especially when it comes to consumer products," said Yung Trang, president, TechBargains. "Mobile shoppers are still more comfortable purchasing using their laptops, although tablets are widely used for research and shopping. This demonstrates that consumers are open to new technology, but until mobile shopping is as easy as shopping on larger devices and security concerns are addressed, they will be more reluctant to fully embrace mobile buying."

iPhone v. Android
As the iPhone v. Android debate continues, the survey reveals iPhone users make more purchases online via their iPhone than Android owners.

•     71% of iPhone users make purchases via their phone compared to 64% of Android users.
•     71% of iPhone users who make purchases using their phone use both a mobile browser and apps to make purchases, 22% use only apps to make purchases, 6% only use a mobile browser, while 70% of Android users who make purchases using their phone use both mobile browser and apps to make purchases, 14% use only apps to make purchases, and17% only use mobile browser.
•     34% of iPhone users who make purchases using their phone say half or more of their holiday purchasing was done via phone, while 20% of Android users who make purchases using their phone say half or more of their holiday purchasing was done via phone.

"Our survey indicates that Apple's 'There's an App for that' campaign is really striking a chord for mobile shoppers. iPhone users are finding apps that can handle more of their needs in a simple and secure manner without needing to open a browser," said Jeff Haynes, editor of TechBargains. "Android users aren't consistently finding the same experience, either because of convoluted interfaces or security problems. As a result, if they want to shop with their devices, they're being forced to use the web browser whether they want to or not."

iPad 2 vs. Kindle Fire
Tablet users don't demonstrate the same reservations about mobile purchasing that mobile phone shoppers do. People are using their tablets to research and make purchases, supporting the women's jackets popular claim that tablets could eventually cannibalize laptop use due to ease of use and portability.

•     75% of tablet owners use their tablet to make purchases, 90% use tablets to browse stores, 89% research products, and 85% compare prices.
•     86% of iPad 2 owners make purchases via tablet, while 74% of Kindle Fire owners make purchases via tablet.
•     79% of iPad 2 owners who make purchases via tablet use both their web browser and apps to buy products, 14% only use apps, and 8% only use the mobile browser.
•     80% of Kindle Fire owners who make purchases via tablet use both a web browser and apps to buy products, 20% only use mobile browser, and 0% only use apps.
•     81% purchase digital goods via tablet, 77% buy consumer products, 55% buy consumable goods, and 51% buy services.

Men vs. Women
Men and women's top two concerns when making purchases via their mobile devices were similar-- security concerns and difficulty purchasing-- with women most concerned about the difficulty of completing purchases and men more concerned with security.

•     59% of men and 54% of women make purchases using their mobile phones.
•     Of those who don't use their mobile phones to make purchases, 42% of men and 38% of women cited security concerns and 54% of men and 59% of women cited difficulty completing purchases.

While more men make purchases on their mobile phones than women, more females are purchasing on tablets. In both cases women are making more of their holiday purchases through mobile devices than men.

•     74% of Men and 77% of Women make purchases using their tablets
•     35% of Women and 21% of Men made half or more of their holiday purchases via their tablets.
•     32% of Women and 25% of Men made half or more of their holiday purchases via phones.

OASAP Creative Director Forecasted Street Fashion Trend of Women's Clothing on Fashion Week Spring-Summer 2012

Four Fashion Week Spring 2012 have been come to the end with spectacular, people are still delighting in talking about the vast styles of women's apparel. Sweet and pleasant printing element is used widely; sexy hollow lace dress is so attractive; bright colors bring a pleasant enjoyment undoubtedly; the dresses launched by major brands interpret the colors matching to the extreme.
"Major brands are trying their best to increase the dominance of utterance for women's clothing", OASAP Creative Director Nico Robin said," the 2012 women's clothing they released on the Fashion Week are argumentative and referential, some of the styles are coincided with OASAP newly released products". Meanwhile, Nico predicted that following several distinct pop elements will integrate into the design of women's street fashion clothing for spring and women's jackets summer 2012.

Printing, Embroidery
At Spring-Summer Show Time 2012, the major brands are more or less introduced a few pieces of printing apparel. Dolce&Gabbana and its by-line brand D&G launched many print dresses in this season, skirt with cake-like design, highlighting the cute agile charm of little women feeling.

Lace, Hollow, Fluffy
The girl without a piece of lace clothing is just a girl, but not yet a woman. OASAP designers studied the CHANEL fashion show for this season and had a premonition that lace fluffy skirt will back to the trend again. High waist lace dress was so amazing and adorable with playful fairy fluffy hem, lifelike as a hydrangea hanging of dews. No woman can resist lace and hollow, especially see-through and flamboyant dress will enhance much more feminine, response to the Chanel theme of "feminine nature".

Animal patterns, Leopard, Diamonds, Sequins, Rock
"Wild passion" shows women's needs for strong, brave, rigorous, self-confident qualities to face the stressful urban life. OASAP staff recommended girls to concern the similar products of Dior and OASAP to change the environment of everyday urban life and release pressure. Leopard, sequins and rock, symbol of the desire for survival and revival of a dynamic original strength.

Nostalgic, Retro, Fresh, Elegant, Idyllic
Retro is not entirely within the boring, it can also be fun. Louis Vuitton's pursuit of Paris fancy retro feeling; Ferragamo's fresh chic style; lapel waist dresses, pleated skirts, Polka Dot shirt and printed scarves of PRADA, are all tracing the classic modern era. Hand-painted Eiffel Tower, and heart-shaped small floral patterns from OASAP, have added a lively, youthful temperament, and bring us to return to the original to re-feel the natural and idyllic life.

So many beautiful dazzling apparel are decorating the street fashion, OASAP calls on women who are willing to discover the most touching moments of street fashion, and to look at how those fashion girls to dress up themselves.

Teams of student entrepreneurs focused on stabilizing vaccines to allow safer and more reliable distribution worldwide, and streamlining the transition of patients from the hospital to post-acute care facilities, took first place at the Harvard Business School (HBS) Business Plan Contest held Tuesday (April 24) in Burden Auditorium. This year marked the 16th anniversary of the for-profit Business Venture Track and the 12th year of the Social Venture Track, which focuses on creating social value via nonprofit, for-profit, or hybrid-model plans.

In addition, Sidhant Jena (MBA 2011) CEO of Jana Care, was named the recipient of the 2012 Social Entrepreneurship Fellowship, designed to support recent HBS graduates who are creating ventures that focus on creating social value. Through a competitive selection process, the Fellowship supports recent graduates with a $25,000 award. Jana Care, an India-based new venture aims "to use technology to democratize diabetes management in the developing world." To accomplish this, Jana Care has developed a tiny attachment that transforms any mobile phone into a glucose monitor, allowing diabetes patients to test blood sugar and transmit results to their physician for feedback on diet, nutrition, and medication.

Past participants in the HBS Business Plan Contest have gone on to create many successful companies such as Cloudfare, which enables websites to intelligently protect themselves from online attacks; Finale, a Boston-area restaurant chain serving desserts and beverages; RelayRides, the world's first person-to-person car sharing service; Rent the Runway, which provides access to designer clothing at a fraction of the retail price; Diagnostic-For-All, a nonprofit enterprise that has developed a low-cost, paper-based "lab-on-a-chip" for diagnosing diseases in poor regions around the world; Global Citizen Year, which encourages students between high school and college to address the global challenges of the 21st century; Good Start Genetics, which is developing a low-cost, pre-pregnancy test for multiple genetic disorders; and New Leaders, a national nonprofit organization devoted to improving education for all children by attracting and preparing the next generation of outstanding leaders for urban public schools.

Run under the auspices of the Harvard Business School's Arthur Rock Center for Entrepreneurship and the Social Enterprise Initiative, the HBS Business Plan Contest provides an integrative learning experience for all participants. The prime objectives of the Contest are to educate students in the process of creating and evaluating new business ventures, prepare them for opportunities in traditional and social entrepreneurship during their careers, and harness the unique resources that HBS offers.

The Rock Center was created through the generosity of prominent venture capitalist Arthur Rock (MBA 1951). In 2003, he donated $25 million to HBS to support the entrepreneurship faculty and their research, fellowships for MBA and doctoral students, symposia and conferences, and new outreach efforts to extend the impact of the School's extensive work in this field. To further contribute to its research and course development efforts, Harvard Business School also established the California Research Center in the heart of Silicon Valley in 1997.

Harvard Business School offered the country's first business school course in entrepreneurship in 1947. Today, members of the HBS Entrepreneurial Management Unit, which numbers more than 30 faculty, teach a required course to some 900 students in the first year of the MBA program along with a broad selection of popular elective courses to second-year students.
The United States Association for Small Business and Entrepreneurship has recognized the Harvard Business School entrepreneurship program as the best in the country.

CWA Enterprises’ Award-winning American Invention Re-String It Launches, Signals Hope for Small Business Economy

An idea that formed in Chad Archibeck's head almost three years ago has given birth to American assembly jobs that would not have existed without his fortitude and financial investment in his product, Re-String It, which has launched this quarter. He has taken the annoying, time consuming problem of drawstrings coming out of hoodies and pants and designed a problem solving tool that is more textile friendly and longer lasting than any of its competitors.

Additionally, having lived in a city hard-hit by the housing downturn, he also understands the need to get America back to work – and he's not waiting on a president for help. "Restring-It has already employed dozens of U.S. workers in the assembly process and has the potential to put hundreds of Americans back to work," Chad explained.

According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, U.S. unemployment hit 8.1 percent in April 2012. With companies like Research In Motion and HP laying off even more employees recently, the question becomes where will the next big invention come from that can employ U.S. workers? With his new product, Re-String It, Chad is solving two problems with one solution. Having founded CWA Enterprises, Re-String It now saves pants and jobs.

"It's not easy to create an invention, find trustworthy help, secure a patent, and get it manufactured and assembled with no guidance," says Chad, who has done all of this research himself. "You really end up becoming an expert in American innovation."

Re-String It is a universal drawstring re-threader designed to quickly and easily re-thread anything with a string. The adjustable loop allows for any thread type from flat threads to round threads. The edges on the loop are rounded which will allow for any thread composition to be used from silk to cotton and the clothing won't get frayed. While the invention may sound simple, Chad knows that the devil is in the details. "I give customers a life-time guarantee because the product is perfect. Its anodized aluminum material means it won't rust and the flexible body and rigid front guarantee easily and safe travel through any channel."

The uncharted path of bringing an invention to market can be so difficult that it can prevent a good idea from ever seeing the light of day. For Chad, he is not only seeing an enthusiastic response to his product, but has also been formally acknowledged for his hard work and tenacity. "The Next Best Zing" announces yearly awards in several categories, including Men, Women, and Everyone. Re-String It received the Winne women's jackets r of Everyone Category for 2012. But the accolades haven't stopped there.

The unsolicited reviews on Re-String It's website keep pouring in with high marks. One customer was so excited about this must-have domestic tool that she paid to promote Re-String It as a Loyola Marymount University's Race for Success 5k Fundraiser sponsor.

As the product continues to grow in popularity, CWA expects to provide many more jobs for American workers and save many more pants from the trash bin.

About the Company:
Re-String It is a product of CWA Enterprises, which was created to bring the perfect must-have domestic tool to market. Re-String It is a heavy duty, versatile re-stringer that is easy to use and won't damage clothing. The rounded edge on the adjustable loop enables use on delicate materials.
