1956 -1966

If ever there had been a question of Justification for expanded library facilities in Greenville, the answer was soon forthcoming. In the year ending May 31, 1957, the total circulation was 8,333 volumes, an increase of 1,403 over the previous year, despite the fact that the library had been closed four weeks preparatory, for the move. The number, of card holders had increased by 125, to a total of 823, including 530 children.

The library's hours of opening at first continued as before --3-8 on Wednesdays and Saturdays, but in September 1959 the hours were expanded to 2-6, 7-9 on Mondays, Wednesdays and Saturdays. Then again in September 1962 the hours were further expanded to a total of 24 hours a week, being, 2-6, 7-9 Mondays and Wednesdays, 7-9 Tuesdays and Thursdays, and 10-6 on Saturdays,

Improvements were made in the financial picture of the library. The town appropriation for 1956/57 was still $500. With the increased costs of maintaining the new building, it was voted to request larger sums from the town, In 1957/58 the appropriation was increased to $700, and with the expanded hours of opening in 1959 and the need for more part-time staff, further increases were made annually, By 1964/65 the town's appropriation toward operating costs was $8,327.

Funds from the state also increased in this period. The state-aid grant administered by the Rhode Island State Librarian continued at $232 annually through 1963/64. In 1958/1959 the new agency, Public Library Services in Rural Areas, began a series of additional grants, ranging from $500 to $2,000 annually. Then in 1964/65 the new Department of State Library Services authorized $2,300 to the Town of Smithfield, based upon the town's population. This amount was distributed among the three libraries in the town: Beron Public Library in Georgiaville, the Esmond Public Library in Esmond, and the Greenville Public Library, by agreement among them, as formulated by the Smithfield Library Council, which was composed of the librarians and at least one. trustee from each library. This organization recommended that by virtue of the population on each side of Wionkhiege Hill that the Greenville Public Library would be allotted 50% of this sum, and Bernon and Esmond libraries would share equally in the other 50%. This recommendation was approved by the Department of State Library Services, with Greenville receiving $1,150 annually through 1966.

As a result of these funds, which were allocated almost entirely for book purchasing, there was a need for expansion of shelf space. The reference collection was moved into the former workroom in the northeast corner of the building, shelving was installed in the upper east hallway, which became known as "Mystery Hall", and shelving was also installed in the lower hallway and in the coatroom on the lower floor.

As reported earlier, Harriet Scott resigned as librarian effective September 30, 1957, to take a full-time position in the Town Clerk's office. Doris Dexter became the next librarian on October 30, 1957. During the month of October the library was kept open by volunteers, Edith Calderara and Florence Hall, under the supervision of Miss Stillwell. The Board of Directors authorized tuition costs for Mrs. Dexter who completed a college degree and eventually the library masters degree at the University of Rhode Island. In 1960 her salary was increased from .75 cents to $1.00 per hour, plus social security. With the increased use of the library, by 1959 it became necessary to add volunteer part-time staff to assist Mrs. Dexter, and in 1961 a part-time assistant librarian Elinore Wright was hired as well.

During Mrs. Dexter's regime a separate collection was initiated for young adults, including not only required reading but also recreational material for high school students.

In carrying out the provision of the original act of incorporation of "promoting literary - and social intercourse among its members", the, library began a series of travel talks, art shows, concerts and lectures in the new building. Between February 1957 and September 1965 the library sponsored 38 events.

This year being the 75th anniversary of the founding of the library, there were many interesting activities beginning in February 7 with an illustrated travel talk on "England by Everett H. Fernald. In March and April a one-man art show by a local artist and teacher, John F. Gallagher, was held. May, known as Rhode Island Heritage, featured Clifford P. Monahon, Director of the Rhode. Island Historical Society, who gave a lecture entitled "Rhode Island Heritage with appropriate piano music given by Louise W, Moore. During the summer Elmer Tolsted, a former professor at Brown University, gave a cello recital accompanied by Mrs. Moore. The fall season opened with an art show of paintings and lithographs by Stowell Sherman, member of the Providence Art Club. On November 24 Prof. Charles H. Smiley, chairman of the Astronomy Department, Brown University, spoke on "Sputnik", while Russia's first satellite was still whirling in outer space. The first of several Christmas programs, "Candlelight and Carols', was held in December, presenting flute solos by Gregory Zeitlin of Chepachet, accompanied by Mrs. Moore. This was followed by carol singing by the audience.

National Library Week in April was celebrated by an amusing talk, 'The Seamy Side of Writing, given by Scott Corbett, author and teacher at Moses Brown School, Providence. Climaxing this 75th anniversary year an art show featuring "New England Iandscapes and Portraits" was given in May by Miss Isabelle R. Reynolds, of the Providence Art Club and Rockport Art Association. A Festival of Arts and Crafts in September was given by artist pupils of, John F. Gallagher and by craftsmen of Greenville and other nearby communities, featuring paintings, ceramics, wood carving, leather work, train models, furniture decoration, sculpture, hooked rugs and other crafts.

Music at the annual program, Candlelight and Carols, was provided by Gregory Zeitlin, flutes and Mary, Aber, of Scituate, harp. Dorothy C. Allan, a Greenville resident, author and playwright, gave poetry readings and also read her Christmas play, "The Midnight Clear."

Many new and varied programs were introduced this year, such as the regional meeting of the Children's Concert Committee of the Rhode Island Philharmonic Orchestra in February, The subject was the relationship of music and art, with Mrs. Elizabeth Woodhouse from the Museum of Art, Rhode Island School of Design, as guest speaker. During National Library Week in April, Mr. and Mrs. John H. Wells gave a talk with pictures on Russia. An exhibition of painters featuring works by six noted artists in the surrounding area was held in May. Entries were submitted by Wilfred I. Daphiney, Johnston; John F. Gallagher, Greenville; C. Gordon Harris, Lincoln; James A. King, Scituate; and Margaret B. Stillwell, Greenville --all members of many art clubs in New England. In November a two-day Junior Arts and Crafts Festival took place. The show consisted of articles made during the Smithfield Recreation Program, representing such crafts as photography jewelry, handweaving and painting by junior artists. The annual December Candlelight and Carols program featured poetry readings by Prof. Sharon Brown of Brown University and seasonal music by the "P.D.Q's" of Pembroke College. This was followed by carols by the audience led by Mr. Joseph Lopez.

1960 Activities

In honor of the addition of Alaska as the 49th state, an illustrated talk was given in March by Miss Alice M. Comstock and Miss Helen E. True. An all-day conference of extension librarians from New England, New York, and Washington, D.C, was held in April. The day's activities included group discussions, and a catered lunch was served. For the second time the Greenville Library was host for the annual meeting of the Rhode Island Library Association in May, with meetings held at the Greenville Baptist Church, followed by lunch served by the ladies of St. Thomas Church. At the end of the day tea was served at the library, giving Rhode Island librarians the opportunity to visit the new building. Twenty-four industries in Smithfield participated in a two-day show called "Industrial Smithfield on Exhibition" on October 22-23. This was made possible through the cooperation of the Smithfield Industrial Development Commission, the Smithfield Planning Board and the Rhode Island Development Council. The annual Candlelight and Carols program featured the Grace Church Bell Choir consisting of thirty-two English handbells, under the leadership of Mr. Fred Cronhimer. As was the custom, carol singing by the audience was led by Mr. Joseph Lopez.

In the spring a musical program was presented by Thomas Casey Greene, Jr, piano, Janice Nairn, lyric soprano, and Louise W. Moore, accompanist. There was not even standing room for the special event for children, featuring "Miss Bonnie of WRPO-TV as speaker in April. In the fall of that year the main activity was "Fire Apparatus and Survival Equipment" as a special tribute to the local volunteer fire companies. Greenville, Georgiaville and Wionkhiege companies displayed their apparatus in the library's parking lot, together with the rescue boat, rescue truck and the new ambulance. Inside the library there were exhibits showing photographs of local fires, fire companies of the past, and old prints of fire apparatus in Providence were also on view. Equipment and supplies, loaned by local merchants, were shown to demonstrate safety in driving, fire prevention, use of oxygen apparatus and the equipping of fall-out shelters. The year closed with the annual Candlelight and Carols program, again featuring the Grace Church Bell Choir, with Prof. Neil Schroeder of Clark University, who read "A Child's Christmas in Wales" by Dylan Thomas.

In March Prof. Marion Wright of Rhode Island College gave an illustrated talk on Africa. Also this same month as preliminary to a state-wide meeting of the Rhode Island library trustees to be held in Providence, the library invited the trustees of the libraries of northwestern Rhode Island to an evening meeting and showing of a film on the activities of New England libraries, in which the Greenville library was well represented. As a special feature of the library's 80th anniversary year a spring art show was given by Miss Hope Smith of the Providence Art Club. The oil paintings consisted mainly of familiar Providence scenes. In celebration of Children's Book Week in November it was deemed appropriate to call together the school principals and teachers to study ways in which the library could work more closely with the schools in Smithfield. F. William Summers associate librarian of the Providence Public Library, served as panel moderator, with a large delegation from the town's schools and libraries. The year ended with the traditional Candlelight and Carols program, with singing provided by the "Lambrequins" of Lincoln School, Providence, T. James Hallan, conductor, who also led the community singing. Seasonal readings were given by Prof. James 0. Barnhill, of Brown University.

In recognition of National Library Week in April, Mrs. Herbert N. Couch of Providence showed pictures and gave an account of her trip to the South Sea islands, New Zealand and Australia. "Health Services on Display" was opened in September. This was an exhibit showing services performed by the Smithfield Public Health League, founded 50 years before by civic-minded men and women. The show not only traced the history of the League's service to the town but also showed the kind of service presently available to the community. Candlelight and Carols this year was subtitled "Christmas Around the World". Appearing on this program were Julie Searing, soprano, and Joyce Carlson, harpist, with Louise Moore as narrator.

A regional meeting of public library trustees, one of eight rallies in the state, was held at the library in March, with Dean Charles B. Willard, Rhode Island College, as chairman. This event was to stimulate support of the forthcoming legislation for the improvement of statewide library service. "Art in Leisure Moments" was the title of the spring art show by John J. McLaughry, football coach at Brown University. "Candle Days in Smithfield" was the subject of an exhibition held in the fall. Photographs of 35 houses built before 1800 were on display, and also early household appliances were exhibited. The Year ended with "Christmas in Story, and Art", an exhibit of paintings loaned by the Museum of Art, Rhode Island School of Design, and also featured art books for children and adults.

At these events Sponsored by the library there was always an opening tea, or refreshments were served following a special program. The trustees and their friends, as well as the library's staff, generously gave time and effort to make each occasion a rewarding celebration. Silver tea service was readily loaned by friends, and the well-equipped kitchen provided the necessary service for such occasions.

A number of varied exhibits were set up in the north hallway leading to the parking lot, and these attracted a great deal of attention. Exhibits were also provided for stores and banks in the area during National Library Week each April. Additional exhibits were also arranged from time to time in nearby schools. Classes from William Winsor school across the street were regularly scheduled for library orientation and story hours. Local organizations, such as the Cranford Club, the Apple Blossom Garden Club, and 4-H groups took advantage of the meeting room on the lower floor. Local piano teachers also scheduled piano recitals on many Sunday afternoons. One year Dr Dudley was the leader of a group discussion on "Great Books".

In 1965/66 there were 115 dues paying members of the Association. In November l960 the 10,000th book had been accessioned since the revised accession record was started in 1950.

A sampling of library statistics for this period are given

Number of patrons

It soon became evident that the library needed an addition. There were many occasions when school students working on science projects were forced to sit on the floor, even though extra card tables had been brought in, and the shelves were so full that little used material was relegated to storage areas. In December 1062 Miss Stillwell as chairman of the Building Committee, was authorized to prepare preliminary Plans for a new wing, and Mr. Richard Illingworth was appointed chairman of a fund raising committee.

When the Jenckes building was erected in 1956, its size was governed by the amount of money that was available for its construction. However since Miss Stillwell foresaw that eventually an addition would be necessary, a steel beam had been inserted in the north wall of the reading room, so that a wide archway could be opened into a new wing at some future time,

In October 1963 the firm of Johnson and Haynes, of Pawtucket, was authorized to draw up plans and specifications for the "Young People's Wing". By October 1964 the Rhode Island Department of State Library Services indicated that it might grant $44,300, or 50% of the proposed cost. At this same time a drive was initiated under Mr. Iningworth's direction to raise the remaining $44,300 from local organizations, commercial establishments, citizens, foundations, and the town. The Town of Smithfield promised $20,OOO to be spread over four fiscal years, and arrangements were made with the Greenville office of the Citizens Savings Bank to borrow money in advance of payment of pledges.

By May 1965 the approval of the plans was forthcoming from the federal Department of Health, Education and Welfare, as well as from the Rhode Island Department of State Library Services. The Rhode Island Foundation pledged a grant of $5,000. As a result, a contract was awarded to the H. M. Soule Company, of Pawtucket, July 23, 1965, and excavation was started on August 9, 1965.

"Creativity and Techniques of Modern Art" was the theme of an art show by John E. DeMelim, Jr, Assistant Professor, at Rhode Island College, in May. The only fall activity was an all day meeting of librarians and trustees of the Northern Region, who met at the library with Miss Elizabeth G. Myer, Director of the Department of State Library Services, presiding. The rapidly growing addition to the library was of much interest, as those present examined the model and plans of the addition.

The new young people's wing provided a large children's room, a story hour alcove, a workroom, an exhibit storage room and an expanded lobby on the main floor. On the lower floor a reading and reference room, an expanded stairway lobby, an additional furnace room, and several storage areas were provided. During June 1966 the library began to move into the new space, but the official opening was deferred until the fall, with a children's preview on October 15 and an informal open house and tea for the general public the next day. The total cost of approximately $100,000 was met by the state and town grants, the Rhode Island Foundation grant, and contributions by 205 individuals and local organizations.

In this period 1956-1966 the Book Committee continued to be responsible for the selection of books to be purchased. In 1956/57 the librarian was named a member of this committee, and in 1958/59 Mrs. Dexter was named chairman of the committee and assumed the responsibility of book selection through the balance of this period.

From May 1956 through May 1966, Kay K. Moore was President, of the Board.

GW NetworkMedia about usGreenWay installs 31 HPC stations in Poland

GreenWay will be opening a series of 31 fast charging stations across Poland during July and August. The move will expand the company’s presence in Poland and Slovakia to around 100 charging stations.

So far, GreenWay owns 33 stations in Poland and another 30 stations in Slovakia. The infrastructure expansion will enlarge the network by around a third. The first 30 days after the stations go live will be free of charge. The expansion is also being funded by an EU project named Connecting Europe Facility (CEF). The locations will belong to the Trans-European Transport Network (TEN-T) after completion.

In January, GreenWay made headlines with the installation of a so-called GridBooster System for EVs. The system was installed at a shopping mall in Bratislava, and, according to GreenWay, is the first battery-supported fast charging system for EVs in eastern Europe.

Daily Step – Show up with humility representing truth.

Show up
With humility
Representing truth

These sticky notes of mine keep building, huh? But I have one caveat on the third one.

Representing truth.

Yes, 100%.

But not my truth.

Jesus dined with tax collectors and sinners. He called them into his inner circle. St. Matthew, whom we honor today, was both a tax collector and a sinner.

And he was also an apostle.

An apostle whose heart was open to the truth.

So what’s the truth?

We can be redeemed.
We can be reconciled.

But even more, we are loved anyway.

We don’t have to be redeemed or reconciled to be loved. God loves us even in our sinfulness, in our laziness.

God loves us when we look towards justice and even when we look away.

But here’s the truth – when we realize this unconditional love held just for us, when we finally feel the truth of it… looking away from whom we are called to be becomes… impossible.

That’s why Matthew couldn’t look away when he was called to be at Jesus’s side. He finally felt the truth – he felt loved just as he was. And as his heart accepted that truth, he could no longer live a life that didn’t emulate the One who could love him like that.

It was impossible for him to know that kind of love and not try to live in contrast to it.

There are a lot of tough choices ahead for all of us. My prayer this morning is that we begin to feel the truth of the immense love God has for us. May we feel it deep in our bones. And may the realization of it make us not look away.

May the love God has for us turn our eyes towards justice. And may our feet start walking towards it, not stopping our stride until true justice (the kind that accepts everyone at the table) is realized once and for all.

For once you know the truth.
You can’t look away.

So know it now.
God loves you no matter what.

And get started saying yes.

Like normal cooking pans, grill pans are made from different materials; each offers unique characteristics. The most popular ones that we have reviewed above include:

  • Cast aluminum: Features several layers of nonstick design with minerals like diamond or titanium for a harder surface. Hence, it can withstand high temperatures while ensuring even heat distribution.

  • Hard anodized aluminum: Metal utensils are safe for use on pans made from this material. It also ensures heat distribution and is nonstick.

  • Stainless steel: Stainless steel pans are durable and touch. They also heat up rapidly and are nonstick. Plus, they are metal utensil safe.
  • Cast iron: cast iron pans have excellent heat retention capabilities and are nonstick when they are seasoned. Plus, you can use metal utensils with the pan.

You can buy a pan with a blend of any of the characteristics above for a sturdier and more reliable performance. However, it should have a nonstick coating and should be able to handle high heat.

Grilling, unlike frying, doesn’t require oil or grease. The reason is that the oil drips from what you are grilling. Hence, the more ridges on your pan, the better you can achieve the effect. For example, the oil pools in the ridges when you grill steak. Some functional pans give the option of a free drain to let you empty the pan of unwanted oil. Therefore, the rule is to look for lots of deep ridges on the pan before buying it.

The pan shape and width

Grill pans are available in circular and square shapes. The square ones provide more space to handle your project, even if it has an equal dimension with the circular pans. The reason is that square-shaped pans have more room, especially if you need to grill large chunks. You also need to consider the width size since the pans are available in different dimensions. Although some are compact, others have a wide surface to let you cook multiple items at once. Unlike the shape, there is no rule to choosing the width. Instead, use your preference to choose the width you will be comfortable with, and that will serve your purpose.

Versatility and practicality

Pans differ in versatility due to the differences in their design. For example, while some pans are dishwasher-safe, others are not. Hence, it will help to look for as many easy-to-use features as possible. Apart from this, it would help if you also looked for a nonstick design so that the pan will release food easily to make after-use maintenance easy. Plus, you should look for ergonomic handles to ensure that your hands are protected during use. More importantly, look for pans that don’t include harmful chemicals that can seep into the food and harm you.

Temperature rating

You can use a grill pan on different surfaces. For example, you can either use some in an oven or stove. Hence, it will help to check for the temperature rating before proceeding with the purchase. The higher the rating, the better it is.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

How should I clean my pan?

After allowing the pan to cool, rinse it with hot water. Take a clean cloth and soak it in hot water. Then, use the cloth to wipe the pan with emphasis on the grooves between the ridges. Rinse the cloth from time to time, and repeat the process until you are satisfied. After cleaning, dry the pan with a towel. You can air dry if the manufacturer allows it. If it is cast iron, we recommend that you season it before storing it. More importantly, store it in a cool and dry storage area to prevent rusting.

Can I use a grill pan on a glass stove?

You can use most grill pans on a glass stove. However, they are always a few exceptions to the rule. Pans that are heavy with a ridged or concave bottom are not best for use on a glass stove since they may not withstand the heat. Anything besides this, and you won’t have any problem.

How to grill food with my pan?

Rinse the pan with warm water and dry it. Then, cut your food into thin slices and brush them with oil. Preheat the pan on medium heat and let it heat for about five minutes. Proceed and lay each food on the pan’s ridges after heating. Then, cover the pan and let it grill for a couple of minutes. Rotate your food if you need to and flip it until you are satisfied with the result.

Founded in 2007 in Sandy, Utah, Cariloha is an international retail brand specializing in luxurious soft bedding, clothing and bath goods made from eco-friendly bamboo, one of the most sustainable resources on the planet. Boasting the distinction as one of Utah’s 100 fastest-Growing companies for eight consecutive years, the honor is even more notable as less than five percent of applicants in the entire state can claim such consistent growth and revenue performance. Additionally, CEO Jeff Pederson is in an elite class of business leaders by being one of the few to be named EY’s Entrepreneur of the Year twice.

The brand has grown to become the only multi-store retailer in the world to provide an entire shopping experience that’s completely merchandised with products made of eco-friendly viscose from bamboo. Inspired by the essence and energy of the islands, Cariloha blends style and self-expression into every piece of clothing and bedding it makes. With over 70 stores in 16 countries, Cariloha offers more than 1,200 different product SKUs and has been recognized as a leader in the home and bedding industry.

While Cariloha has established notoriety in cruise ports with concentration of brick-and-mortar stores in mostly coastal areas, the brand wanted to reach a wider audience to tout its “twice as soft as cotton” claim and raise the visibility of the brand. The brand also needed to drive traffic to its online and Amazon stores, as well as getting creative on how to merchandise press coverage in its physical retail locations. To achieve success, Cariloha needed a communications strategy that consisted of saturating all key vertical markets including home décor, women’s and men’s interest, lifestyle, broadcast and more to produce high profile media placements.

Beyond the attributes of the robust product line, it was important the agency understand the process by which bamboo is harvested and turned into a luxurious fabric. From there, GreenRoom was able to craft a holistic program that could not only position the products in a myriad of vertical markets, but also explain why it was different from other fabrics and more fully support the brand’s desire to amplify its sustainability messaging.

GreenRoom’s efforts centered on high-profile media exposure on web, print and broadcast. In addition, the agency was able to place Cariloha at the forefront of eco-friendly trends and increase popularity on bamboo products as it relates to a better alternative to cotton. GreenRoom also focused on aggressive outreach for timely holidays including Mother’s Day, Back-to-School, Holiday Gift Guide and more targeting numerous verticals and ensuring maximum saturation of each.

From a more tactical business standpoint, the agency was deeply involved in the planned rollout of new store locations around the country. The brand’s growing presence in prime markets of higher net worth individuals in east Texas and south Florida proved to be fruitful for laser-targeted media outreach. The agency was able to prove a strong balance between marquee national media and  local media  to  support foot traffic to the retail shops. By leveraging previously published third party media validations for communities getting ingratiated into the Cariloha brand, the agency was able to work together with the brand establish familiarity.

During the months leading up to timely holidays like Earth Day, Mother’s Day, Back-to-School and Holiday Gift Guide, GreenRoom secured an enormous amount of marquee media opportunities ranging from home decor publications to broadcast outlets for increased exposure to the brand’s core audience and reaching new targets.

As the program got underway, it was also clear there was a tremendous opportunity for the brand with coverage on daytime broadcast shows and boasting “best of” accolades into the holiday buying season. To approach in a creative way, the agency recommended unique personalization of items like bathrobes and towels to put a more personal touch to the outreach. By sourcing approved logos for broadcast shows, the team was able to stand out from other brands that sent products directly from their warehouses. It was also a prime opportunity to showcase the brand’s personality and unique attributes of its products.

In a stunning example of success with that program, GreenRoom secured a coveted spot on Ellen’s 12 Days of Giveaways during the all-important holiday buying season. After several weeks of coordination with the production team and diligent follow up on messaging, guests were beyond thrilled to learn they would be going home with a Cariloha mattress. Best of all, the segment was hosted by Ellen and legendary Spice Girl turned fashion mogul, Victoria Beckham for an added bump of celebrity star power!

That opportunity proved to be a boon for the retail locations as the agency assisted in merchandising the coverage with strategic logo placement at POP to catch attention and integrating into in-store trainings to ensure a consistent and enthusiastic message was being delivered to customers. As such, and the brand not only saw a tangible lift in store foot traffic, but store managers all over the country were reporting how exciting the opportunity was leading to further pride in the brand. While the brand reveled in the benefits from a sales and traffic perspective, the morale lift from already happy employees was beyond measure.

To further bolster the reach of the brand in syndicated media, GreenRoom secured a holiday gift guide placement with Emmy-winning consumer reporter, Steve Noviello from FOX Dallas. Following his evaluation, the Cariloha Resort Sheets were selected as one of Steve’s 4 Favorite Products of the year, a considerable accolade from a veteran journalist who tests and reviews more than 400 products each year.

After 8 months working together, Cariloha received over 1,877,995,448 impressions, raising significant awareness in various key vertical markets throughout 2019. The holiday timeframe proved to be exceptionally successful for the brand including notable coverage in high-profile publications like ELLE Décor, BuzzFeed, House Beautiful, TODAY, Prevention, Business Insider, Forbes, CNN and more. Additionally, the Cariloha Resort Sheets were selected by Best Products as one of the best bamboo sheets of 2019.

Further, The Ellen DeGeneres Show segment aired in over 200 TV stations reaching a national audience of over 3,000,000 households. The segment was also shared on Ellen’s social media platforms furthering its reach and driving significant traffic to the Cariloha website and social platforms. Additionally, the brand saw a retail lift resulting from the segment. Store owners reported customers provided feedback regarding their visit being directly associated with Cariloha’s appearance in the show.

As direct result of the FOX Dallas segment that syndicated to over 15 stations, the Cariloha website received a significant amount of traffic in just 2 weeks and generated noteworthy sales while becoming the 7th largest traffic driver of the month of December and continues to pay dividends as we enter the new year. The segment reached an audience of 1,119,080 households and a comparative ad value of $217,029 after airing in top US media markets including Dallas, Chicago, Houston, Philadelphia among others.

Most notable metrics include:

  • 1,877,995,448 total online impressions to date
  • 1,519,288 total print circulation to date
  • 20,006,426 total broadcast audience to date
  • $126,597 Comparative ad value to date

With the momentum generated since the start of our partnership, Cariloha is on track to continue its expansion in new locations and further innovate in the sustainable bamboo space. GreenRoom continues to highlight each product exclusively and generating mass exposure for timely holidays throughout the year. Moving forward, the agency will continue to position Cariloha as industry leaders in the home goods space and continue generating a steady stream of top tier media coverage every month.

Hideo Higashibaba left the cult he was born into when he was 22 years old. The Unification Church, also known as the Moonies, was founded in Korea by a man named Sun Myung Moon who proclaimed he was the Second Coming of Christ. In Growing Up Moonie Hideo asks people he grew up with what their childhoods were like and shares his struggles to make sense of his weird sheltered youth and the person he grew up to be. Edited and co-produced by Quinn Myers.

If you would like a transcript of any of these episodes please email Hideo at

Mar 4, 2019

In this final episode Hideo shares his reasons for leaving the Unification and all he lostand gained—when he left.

Hideo Higashibaba [00:00:01] Thanks for listening to Growing Up Moonie. Just a heads up for our listeners, this episode includes mention of mental health crisis, rape, family abuse, death, hospitalization, homophobia, and child abuse. Please take care of yourself as you listen. And now the final episode of Growing Up Moonie.

News Announcer [00:00:21] A decade ago, the Reverend Sun Myung Moon was accused of controlling the minds of young people creating so-called Moonies.

News Announcer [00:00:28] So called Moonies, followers of the Reverend Sun Myung Moon, head of the Unification Church, who became well-known in the early 80s for his mass wedding ceremonies.

Interpreter [00:00:36] Do you pledge to establish an eternal family with which God can be happy.

Crowd [00:00:44] Yes!

Interpreter [00:00:45] It. We are talking about absolute fidelity here. If anybody deviates from this. God. You may be about to go.

News Announcer [00:00:55] But the church has a different plan for the second generation.

2nd Gen [00:00:58] I felt like we weren't equipped for the world. You know we aren't just like this bubble.

2nd Gen [00:01:03] To me it sounds culty. I know it's what brought our parents to church but it's not what you see in the church.

2nd Gen [00:01:08] Even if I'm not doing everything that they want me to do or I don't believe everything that they believe we still have this like line that connects us.

Hideo Higashibaba [00:01:20] My name is Hideo Higashi Baba. I am queer, brown and transgender. I like reading, watching TV, swimming, and hiking, and hanging out with my dog Stanley. And oh yeah I grew up in a cult. This is Growing Up Moonie, stories of people who grew up in the Unification Church, Also known as the Moonies. And for this last episode I wanted to tell my story.

Hideo Higashibaba [00:01:48] For the most part before I left, I was a really good Moonie. When I was 18 I told my parents I wanted an arranged marriage just like they got. I read the sacred texts, I didn't date or smoke or drink. I got good grades and honored my father and mother. At church, I was taught the Divine Principle the sacred teachings of the church. I learned that the source of all sin was sex that I had to save my virginity for my husband. In my heart I knew what the founder Sun Myung Moon told us about the world was right and it was my job to protect myself from anything that would contradict that.

Hideo Higashibaba [00:02:30] I am my parent's third child out of four. There are my two older sisters than me than my younger sister. Before I was born my father Shinichi prayed and prayed for a boy but all he got was another kid with a vagina. He doesn't know that I'm transgender. I'm pretty sure he would not be happy to find out.

Hideo Higashibaba [00:02:51] My parents had four children in six years, and from the moment we were born we were told we were special. Unlike my classmates, their parents, the people we saw out in the world, we didn't have Original Sin and that meant we were better than everyone else. It also meant that we had to be better. Better behaved, better in school, more modest, discreet, and generous. We were literally born to save the world from Satan, to reunite humanity with God. And we could not fuck that up.

Hideo Higashibaba [00:03:27] But there's something else. I grew up in an abusive family. My mom Andrea would fly into rages and yell at us until she was hoarse. She also hit us. My dad Shinichi did too. You might not know that much about abusive or co-dependent family structures; in my family, we were raised to take care of Andrea. Our needs came second. No matter how much she yelled at us or hit us. Our job was to make sure she felt OK. How we felt didn't matter. As a kid I tried not to cry when she hit me but it wasn't because I was tough. It was because I didn't want to make her feel bad for what she was doing. This co-dependent relationship and isolation from the outside world meant that our relationships with the church were inextricable from our relationship with Andrea. You couldn't get one without the other. Doing things Andrea didn't like weren't just annoying to her. She made it clear that what you were doing was a sin. Like if we tried to run away when she wanted to yell at us or hit us that was disrespecting our elders, against God's instruction to honor our father and mother. She told me that she hit us because she saw a defiance, a kind of sin in our eyes. She could tell Satan was working in us and she had to beat him out.

Hideo Higashibaba [00:04:57] I was discouraged from having friends and I wasn't invited to a lot of sleepovers or parties. So I spent a lot of time at home. At the time. I didn't think there was anything wrong with it. In fact I thought it was all a good thing. My family meant everything to me. They were more important than my feelings, my dreams, or anything I wanted, and that was completely normal. Sun Myung Moon told us to honor our father and mother that the family was where the love of God resides. And I believed him.

Hideo Higashibaba [00:05:34] It's not that I wasn't curious or didn't have my doubts. I was told that if something didn't make sense it was because I didn't have enough faith. I just had to pray about it and God would provide me the answers. Having a different opinion or being something other than what was expected of me was not an option. My job was to prepare myself to be married to get blessed. No one asked me what I wanted because no one cared. If I contradicted my parents or the church I would be yelled at or hit. So I developed a deep denial about everything. I learned again and again to ignore my feelings, ignore my body and my instincts. So the arranged marriage, the homophobia, the self-loathing, it all seemed perfectly normal to me. When my extended family who are not in the church made fun of me for my faith I defended the church and my parents. I'm still baffled by why my grandparents aunts and uncles thought it would be funny to tease a seven year old about their beliefs. I certainly didn't have any say in the matter.

Hideo Higashibaba [00:06:45] Anyway, my immediate family was controlling but I was never discouraged from learning or traveling. When I wanted to go to a tiny liberal arts college in Ohio, they supported me, but I wonder if they would have if they knew how much it would change me. In college, I met all kinds of people and it got harder and harder to maintain the bigotry I was raised with. I also started crushing on a boy almost immediately and that terrified me. I had already promised myself to the blessing and with this crush I felt like I was betraying that promise. I pushed my feelings for this person down as hard as I could and eventually I got over it. So I thought I knew what to do when another boy at school named Ian after me out a couple years later. I told him, no I don't date, but Ian was different. I don't mean that he was particularly nice or interesting or even good looking. What made Ian special was that he did not go away when I told him I wasn't interested. He just kept hanging around saying all he wanted to do was spend time with me, that he just liked talking to me, yada yada. All the things a naive and inexperienced person like me wanted to hear. And it just felt so nice to be liked and my sister had married someone outside the church. By that point it just didn't seem that bad to go out with a non-Moonie.

Hideo Higashibaba [00:08:17] When we did eventually start dating it was weird and awkward and embarrassing like so many first boyfriends are. Now, I wouldn't even consider it a relationship. But at the time I did. Shortly after we started dating, I left for an internship and most of our relationship was over the phone. I'm taking the time to tell you this embarrassing story about Ian because we got into a fight that shattered my faith which is where I started the story when Jenn from the first episode of this podcast asked me why I left the church.

Hideo Higashibaba [00:08:52] I got a huge theological argument with my boyfriend at the time who was Jewish and he basically was like, 'why do you believe this?' And it took like three days worth of arguing with him about this particular piece of scripture, because I was like, I don't know for me, you know, for example the fall of Adam and Eve, like that's for me at the time was like this is inherently true and this is something that I can believe happened and he was like, 'well I just think that some people made it up, like some people made up the story as a way to make women feel bad and like to oppress women. And I never literally never thought about it like that.

Hideo Higashibaba [00:09:26] We fought about the anti-Semitism of the Bible and Christianity and I defended it. It was a three day long argument over the phone, him back at school, I was back at home on break by that point. It was just a total mess. But finally, I sent a message apologizing. I said that if my beliefs were oppressive and anti-Semitic then I would have to change what I believed. I had no idea how much that single text would change my life.

Hideo Higashibaba [00:09:57] I don't think he knew that he was wasn't like an intellectual exercise for me, like, we were having an argument over like my entire belief system. Like how I made sense of the world and why the color blue was the way it was and why was born and like it was really existential and I don't think he understood that it was. And kind of spiraled out of control like that.

Hideo Higashibaba [00:10:24] Throughout this three day shitshow I told my sisters I'd been fighting with Ian but not what it was about exactly. I told them about the apology but not what it said. They did not like that. My sister Anshin cornered me and demanded details. She said I shouldn't change for anyone especially a boy. She was so angry and I knew I had somehow betrayed my faith but I couldn't take it back. And I didn't want to.

Hideo Higashibaba [00:10:59] Later that day I heard my older sisters talking in the kitchen. It sounded serious. So I asked them what was going on. Anshin told me that our mother Andrea had been brutally raped when she was 16. My sister was the first person Andrea had told in 40 years.

Hideo Higashibaba [00:11:19] The secret hit me like a punch to the gut. Like 100 punches. I couldn't speak. All I could think about was my mum as a 16 year old girl covered in bruises all alone. Then I thought about her 30 year miserable marriage with a man who she hated, who hated her. I thought about the effort they put into having children and how scary and traumatic that must have been for her.

Hideo Higashibaba [00:11:48] And for the first time in my life I doubted God and Sun Myung Moon, the True Father of the movement. I didn't understand why God would put my mother in such an unhappy marriage knowing what he did about my mother's past. All my doubts, the fighting with Ian, all came to a head and in that single moment my faith was gone. I couldn't believe any of it anymore.

Hideo Higashibaba [00:12:17] That night I prayed for the last time. I couldn't sleep so I went to one of my favorite spots, the top of a hill way out near the river. The moonlight sparkled on the snow and I shivered in my puffy winter coat. I asked God for forgiveness and begged for understanding. I felt God in my heart, telling me that understanding would come with time. I just had to have faith. Even if I didn't understand now, I would one day. I drove home and fell into a deep sleep. I woke up the next morning and started screaming. And I couldn't stop.

Hideo Higashibaba [00:13:01] When I think about it, over the last couple of years, I think there were hairline fractures in my beliefs.

Jenn [00:13:08] OK.

Hideo Higashibaba [00:13:08] Like over the years. You know, one of them that I think about was when they were organizing protests against gay marriage at the State House when Massachusetts was about to be the first state to pass gay marriage, or one of the first states. And that just didn't make sense to me. Like, if God was love and we were supposed to love everyone we wanted everyone to be in the church, then like how would going to tell people that they couldn't have what they wanted going make them like us. Like, they're not going to like us after, that they're not going to want to join the church.

Hideo Higashibaba [00:13:39] No one in my family ever went to those protests. But when I asked Andrea about it she said, sometimes you just have to do what's right. And that didn't seem like a good enough answer. But I was scared of my mom. Challenging her usually meant I'd get yelled at or hit. Questioning adults was disrespectful, against God's Commandment to honor thy father and mother. If I didn't get something I was told to pray so I assumed I didn't get it because I was too young or stupid to understand.

Hideo Higashibaba [00:14:15] In the winter of 2014, I got suicidally depressed and what I really needed was a hospital but my family doesn't believe in modern medicine and they didn't want me to go to a psychiatrist. So, I was repeatedly telling them that I was going to kill myself, and they were basically like, please don't do that. I was going to a therapist but I didn't really think it was going to be enough and I was worried. So I moved in with my best friend's parents.

Hideo Higashibaba [00:14:45] Cleo was my best friend. We'd met in college. She was worried about me and saw how awful my family was, even when I couldn't. So she asked her parents to take me in and they did. They saved my life.

Hideo Higashibaba [00:14:59] I moved to Arizona and for whatever reason when I got there I stopped talking to my family. I didn't answer texts I didn't answer phone calls I didn't answer emails and of course they got worried and the longer it was the nastier the emails got because they got so, I think just because they got so worried.

Hideo Higashibaba [00:15:21] I stopped answering emails and phone calls because I felt like I was going to kill myself. I wasn't intentionally setting a boundary. I didn't have any keen insight about the nature of abusive families. All I knew was that seeing messages from my family made me feel worse.

Hideo Higashibaba [00:15:47] I had to move to the other side of the country to realize I didn't know why I believed anything I believed. My faith was gone. I had to figure out who I was without it. It seemed like every opinion or preference I'd ever had was handed to me by my family. Did I like music or did I just say I did because my sisters did? Did I actually think gay people were sick and evil? Was I really on the fence about whether or not birth control was OK? I couldn't tell where I ended and my family began. I had to go back and re-evaluate everything I ever believed or knew about myself.

Hideo Higashibaba [00:16:31] The church, my faith, my family, gave my life purpose. My mother taught me the Divine Principle so I didn't have to think for myself. It explained everything, why the sky was blue, why I was born. It imbued everything in my life with meaning. And overnight that meaning was gone.

Hideo Higashibaba [00:16:55] For three months in Arizona I spent every waking hour wishing I was dead. I fantasized about killing myself hurting myself. I went to bed hoping I would die in my sleep. I cried when I woke up, realizing I'd survive the night. But with my friends parents I got the help my family couldn't, or maybe wouldn't, get me. I was in constant crisis, but I was alive. I didn't trust anyone. I felt like my family had lied to me for 20 years controlling me into the person they wanted. My whole life I was actively discouraged from trusting my own feelings my own instincts. I was told that if something didn't make sense to me it was my fault for lacking faith. I was unbelievably angry.

Hideo Higashibaba [00:17:49] I told Cleo all this. I was living with her parents and I told them to but Cleo was the only person I trusted. I was on medical leave from college but she was still at school and Ian was studying abroad and mostly ignoring my emails. It was a lot of pressure for Cleo but I didn't realize it was too much until it was too late.

Hideo Higashibaba [00:18:17] After a term away from school I decided I was ready to go back. What followed was a cascade of terrible events that are almost ridiculous in hindsight. The week before I left Arizona my grandma died. I decided to not go to the funeral. Within an hour of being back on campus Ian broke up with me and I went to the hospital for a week. Then Cleo and I had a fight and she didn't speak to me or acknowledge my existence for nine months. Almost all my friends kind of disappeared, stopped talking to me or asking me how I was. I think they either chose Cleo or couldn't handle being around a suicidally depressed person all the time. Or maybe they just didn't know what to do so they did nothing. For most of 2015 it was all I could do to stay alive and in school. I dragged myself to classes forced myself to eat and do laundry. I took long breaks from homework to lie on the floor of my room in abject misery. I cut myself. I went to seven hours of therapy a week. I realized I was gay.

Ally Hills singing [00:19:30] We're all the same. We just want to belong, so let me explain in the form of a song...

Hideo Higashibaba [00:19:34] It took months but eventually I figured out that Cleo and I had been more than friends. More even, than best friends. I'd spent the last six months fighting like hell to be myself, without my family or faith. I combed through every thought belief or preference I'd ever had, asking myself if it came from me or my family and the church. It made sense that I had to re-evaluate this part of me too.

Hideo Higashibaba [00:20:06] At first the realization I was gay filled me with dread. It made the likelihood of ever reconciling with my family feel very far away. But once I accepted it I was elated. It felt like I'd hit the jackpot of self realization. It was the best and happiest thing that had ever happened to me. I couldn't stop talking about it, honestly, I still can't. I told anyone who would listen and most of them were not surprised. Most of them thought Cleo and I had dated for two years, which I guess we had even if neither of us realized.

Ally Hills singing [00:20:43] Who ever sent you this told me to say give you a hug and kiss and also wanted you to know they're gay.

Hideo Higashibaba [00:20:52] In the two months after I came out I was so happy. My life was still a shambles and I still had no friends. I still hadn't seen or spoken with my family in months but I was gay and that was awesome.

Hideo Higashibaba [00:21:13] Later that year my sister Anshin had her third baby and I went home to meet her and get some of my stuff. I stayed with friends and went home to visit a couple times. I wasn't gonna tell Andrea I was gay, but old habits die hard and when she demanded one-on-one time with me it all came spilling out. She said, 'you know how I feel about that kind of thing.' Later she emailed me saying she loved me no matter what. That her prayers for me were for my health and for my health only. Anshin, on the other hand, wanted me to know that she was not homophobic, but she was pretty sure I had decided to be gay. She was mad at me, but it was for other reasons not because I was gay.

Hideo Higashibaba [00:21:59] I don't know what I expected. Sun Myung Moon the leader of the church once described gay people as,'shit eating dogs.' In the church there was nothing more Satanic than homosexuality. I guess I thought my family might make an exception for me. You know, their kid. Maybe if it was just the 'gay thing' my family could have adjusted. But by the time I came out, our relationship was beyond repair. I couldn't apologize for ignoring them for months and they could not or would not understand why I did.

Hideo Higashibaba [00:22:43] Over months I slowly stabilized and got stronger. I worked to keep myself in school and eventually I graduated summa cum laude only six months later than my classmates. In the beginning of 2017 I got an internship in public radio and moved to Chicago. I started dating a boy. And I still could not believe how alone I felt. I told Katie about that feeling.

Hideo Higashibaba [00:23:10] Listening to you talk about the church thing and you know the things that you want the things that you value and the things that people in the church value I just feel so isolated from all that and I feel so unwanted in all that and I just don't belong there at all.

Katie [00:23:30] And also hard, there's so many grey areas. This makes it so difficult.

Hideo Higashibaba [00:23:36]  I just really don't belong there at all. And I really don't feel like there's never been a time where I really felt like oh like this is where I'm supposed to be this is where I belong. And it's just hard to hear about, like this project has been super great but it's been really difficult you know because most people are most people are like somewhere between you and me like I'm 100 percent out. Really angry just super pissed at all times and you're going to the fucking blessing in September which is like the ultimate prize, right? And most people are like in the middle, most who I've talked to are dating other people, not in the church.

Hideo Higashibaba [00:24:22] I feel like the closer I get to being who I am by coming out as gay and coming out as gender nonconforming, like, the further I get away from the people who raised me and the further I get away from the Church and the less and less I wanted. That stuff would not go down at all. There is no shred of doctrine I could justify my existence at this point.

Hideo Higashibaba [00:24:50] I'm still learning to live in this reality, in a world without my family or faith or meaning, where people use facts and science to explain the world. Where everything is really complicated and there are no clear answers. Where I am responsible for my own happiness. Growing up in a cult and abusive family there were huge swaths of my personality that just didn't develop. They didn't have to because the beliefs of the church just filled it all in. Now I have to fill it all in on my own. I have to discover and develop my own personality from the ground up.

Hideo Higashibaba [00:25:39] It's hard to accept that the trauma of my family and the crazy bullshit from the church will always be with me. It's hard to accept that this will always be painful. But accepting that it's shitty and heartbreaking feels good. It feels like progress. And I've learned that you can't avoid pain. All you can do is find people in your life who see you who see all of you and love you enough to witness your struggle without trying to fix it or fix you or pretend that it's not just totally awful and shitty. People who text you back, cheer you, on hold you when you cry. It has taken me years, but I am slowly beginning to believe that I deserve to have people like that in my life. That I deserve to be free.

Hideo Higashibaba [00:27:03] This has been Growing Up Moonie a podcast about the children of the Unification Church, it's second generation. If you've made it this far and listened to even some of these episodes I am so grateful. A lot of love and work and tears went into this project and I am honored that you took the time to listen. I'd like to thank all my guests Jenn, Teruko, and Katie for sharing their stories with me and the world. This episode was written and produced by me, edited by Quinn Myers, music by Blue Dot Sessions Kai Engel and Alan Spiljak. The Coming Out Song is by Ally Hills.

Hideo Higashibaba [00:27:39] Thank you to all the people who have loved and supported me throughout this project. First my sweet sausage dog Stanley my best friend and ever present companion. Also human beings: Lewis Wallace and Billy Dee for giving me a home and so much more, Noa Nessim and Cucumber the cat for helping me make a home. Chris Kugler for composing the music for the trailer, Katherine Kavanaugh for designing our beautiful logo, Elecia Harvey-Spain for truly living out disability justice, Kate Bennett for her can-do, how-can-I-help attitude, WUNC  for the use of their studio, Juliet Fromholt for logistical support and overall cheerleading. And every person I met in the last two and a half years who told me this was a good idea and I should keep going.

Hideo Higashibaba [00:28:23] And lastly a very big thank you to Quinn Myers my creative and tireless editor who dedicated a year of his life to this project, listening to my doubts and worries and helping me make this dream come true. If anyone needs a talented skilled audio producer call me! Haha, then call Quinn. We both need the work. I'm Hideo Higashibaba. Thanks for listening.

Suspected robber who shot a police chief confesses

An armed robbery suspect, Abiodun Frances, 31, has made startling revelations on how his gang shot a retired Chief Superintendent of Police (CSP), Robinson Aregari, at Markvins Supermarket in Agbara area of Ogun State on January 11, this year.

The officer had attempted to disrupt their operation by deploying his training skills and throwing down one of the suspects, but was unlucky, as another suspect opened fire on him.

Narrating what transpired, Abiodun, who was arrested some days ago, said: “When the police officer wanted to enter the supermarket, he met my second, Taheeb, at the door, while I was busy robbing inside. Taheeb told him that the owner of the supermarket, one Makuochukwu Hycient Obi, and over five customers were laying face down, signifying that there were robbers on duty.

“He commanded him to join those lying face down inside the supermarket and even threatened him with his operational gun. Instead of complying, he suddenly grabbed Taheeb by the waist, lifted him and threw him to the ground and took to his heels. As he was running to go and enter his jeep, Taheeb stood up and fired at him at his left lap.

“When I saw that he did not enter his jeep, I opened the Jeep door and saw his wife. I told his wife to give me the money her husband kept in the car and she told me that he did not keep any money in there. I was left with no other choice but collected her phone and the two phones her husband was charging in the car. I did not collect his wife’s ATM card.

“We collected 10 phones from the supermarket staff and customers we met there and a bottle of expensive wine, which we drank together while sharing our loot in one uncompleted building.

“I was not the one that shot the police officer. I was carrying a long gun, while Taheeb was carrying short gun and he was the one that shot the officer.”

A source revealed that the victims and the public were unhappy about the inability of Police officers and men in the area to challenge the robbers; hence after some weeks, they reported the incident to the Commander of the Inspector General of Police (IGP) Intelligence Response Team (IRT), Abba Kyari, a Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP), who directed his team in the state, led by the Southwest Coordinator, Philip Rieninwa, a Chief Superintendent of Police (CSP), to fish out the suspects from his hideout.

Abiodun continued: “My mother is from Badagry, while my father is from Ojo area of Lagos. I attended Macaulay International Primary School, Marobo, along Badagry road. My father is a fisherman, while my mother is a trader and sells food and drinks.

“After my primary education, I went to learn welding because my parents could not afford my higher education. When I got my freedom in 2005, I could not afford the money to get my own workshop, so I started staying at home doing menial jobs.

“Life turned to hell when I joined a secret cult and started drinking and smoking cigarettes and even joined cult members in street fights. In one of the fights, I was axed by one member of the rival group and that is this scar you are seeing (pointing at the scar).

“The wound affected my welding work and it was my parents that took me to hospital and paid the bill. When I was discharged, I started staying at home and my wife was the one taking care of my family. My life changed again when Taheeb came to my house and saw me in a sad mood. He asked why I was not happy and I told him it was because of lacked of money. He told me not to worry, that he would take me to paradise the next day where money has no value.

“We went to a smoking joint where he bought pepper soup, drinks and weed. We were spending money like rich men in town. The following day, I went out with him and had my first baptism of phone snatching. The operation was smooth and sweet. I got enough money that I forgot my sorrow. We robbed many supermarkets and people coming back from work or market during rush hour.

“We were doing well and any time I travelled to see my parents, he would go out alone to rob. There was a time I went to see my father, but when I came back, I heard that he was killed in OPIC Estate where he went to rob in November last year. I thought the case was over until it was reported to IRT. I was relaxing when operatives of IRT stormed my house and arrested me.

“I was surprised to see the shot police officer, because I thought he was dead. I was not the one that shot him; the supermarket CCTV captured the action very well. We don’t shoot victims carelessly unless when victims challenged us or attempt to disarm us or disrupt the operation. We can only rob two or three persons at a time, because we have to manage time to succeed.”

Narrating his ordeal in the hands of the robbers, Aregari said: “I did not know that the dangerous idiots would be arrested and that is where IRT operatives are showing the difference in intelligence policing and they should be encouraged and motivated.

“I did not intend to waste time in the supermarket, so I parked my car many yards away, with my wife waiting inside. As I approached the supermarket door, one of the hoodlums stopped me and ordered me to lie down and brought out his gun.

“Annoyed by his action, I grabbed him, lifted him up and threw him on the ground and started running away. His second was still on the ground when this rat, Abiodun, fired me at the lap. See where he fired me (pointing to his lap).

“He later went to my jeep and robbed my wife of her ATM card, which they used to empty her account. He took her phone and my two phones I was charging in my car. I escaped by running to the nearby Police station, despite the bullet wound.”

Also narrating his ordeal in the hands of the suspects, Makuochukwu said: “This was the second time they came to my supermarket. They ordered me and the customers to put our face down. I heard when they were talking to the Police officer. Along the line, I heard a gun shot. It was later that I discovered it was the officer that they shot.

“I can’t give you the estimate of the money they collected, because I had the previous sales money with me. They collected all. They were three-man gang, not two. One of them was on a motorcycle outside the supermarket near the road, while two entered.

“I don’t know why this robber (pointing at Abiodun) will say that they were two. They were even the same gang that killed one Alfa (Muslim cleric) that sells provision near Agbara Police station, despite pleading with them to spare his life and carry anything they liked in his shop.

“We even heard that his colleague, Taheeb, was lynched with plank by an irate crowd when they went to rob in the area.”

Items recovered from the suspects include eight phones, one laptop, operational Toyota Sienna car, with vehicle registration number MUS150FP and one motorcycle.

The best and most important PPV companies

The best and most important PPV companies

When marketers try to find a cheap source for visitors their PPV companies often turn to their minds.
PPV is an acronym for (Pay Per View) and means advertising in the form of pay per view.

Many marketers tend to this type of advertising due to the ease of obtaining it on the one hand and on the other hand because of the low cost compared to other types of ads.

Here we are not going to talk about the advantages and disadvantages of PPV visitors.
But in this article we will address a very important topic which is the best company through which you can get good and guaranteed PPV visitors and you can achieve profitable results through it.

Here is a list of the best PPV companies

Propelmedia company
It was previously known as Trafficvance.
When we talk about PPV visitors, we should start with King Traffic Vans.
No one who gets PPV visitors is the same, Traffic Vans is the best PPV company on the Internet overall.
This company was established in 2006.
They have more than 2000 advertisers daily.
And through this company you can get the highest level of targeted visitors as it is and with a certificate of all opinions the company is the best to get ppv visitors with the highest conversion rate.

The most important advantages of the company Propelmedia
1- The minimum amount to open an account with Traffic Vans is $ 1,000.
They must review and approve your application before you actually join the company, because this company really has strict laws in accepting advertisers, so do not accept any advertiser willing to pay like other companies.

2- You can buy visitors through it by paying for the advertisement page or for a click as well.
3- Traffic Vans is one of the best PPV companies, ideal for targeted visitors for gaming shows.
As many of the fans of this advertising company are game lovers.
Also, many advertisers have achieved exceptional results with them in many types of offers, such as entertainment, educational and dating offers.
4- She has a tremendous amount of visitors since once your account is approved and in the event that it is charged $ 1000.
It is possible that you make their first advertising campaign and receive tons of visitors.
5- It is the ideal company if you want to get visitors from the United States of America.
6- The largest percentage of visitors to this company are married women who have children and do continuous shopping through the Internet, and their ages range between 35:44 years.

I have personal experience with this company and I managed to achieve positive results earlier.
The thing that I like about this company is that it has a certain class of visitors called  RON
It is the abbreviation Run On Network and it refers to visitors who remain advertisers and who do not fall under any classification.
And it is characterized by this type of visitors with a very low price where you can buy a thousand visitors for only 4 dollars  I do not know to what extent this price is still valid or changed, but if it differs it will be within narrow limits

The most important advantages of Media traffic company
1- The minimum amount to open an account is only $ 200, so it is very suitable for everyone who has had a problem with money.
2- At any time, you can close your account and get all your money from the remaining funds in your account.
3- She has a good support team and has extensive experience.
4- After consuming the first $ 200, you can only recharge your account for $ 100 each time.
5- It is very suitable for beginners not only because of the low minimum to open an account but also because of the ease of use in addition to the multiple and easy advertising systems for every beginner.
6- I think their prices are very good compared to some other companies.

This company is somewhat modern compared to other companies  but there are many positive reviews on the Internet about it.
Moreover  I personally know some people who achieve very good results.

The most important advantages of the company 50onred
1- The minimum amount to open a $ 500 account is considered one of the easiest companies to accept new advertisers due to its novelty.
2- It has a good level of visitors in terms of quantity and quality.
3- You can achieve good results by marketing your game offers.
4- You are characterized by an exceptionally distinguished support team as you will get a response sooner than you expected or imagined.

There are many, many other PPV companies but here I wanted to list the best companies.
Which I know very well is its efficiency and excellent performance based on my own experience  or the experience of people I know personally  or based on the lack of different opinions on the Internet.
Thousands of marketers around the world use PPV visitors as the primary and only source for visitors to market products or offers of others under the affiliate system and they earn hundreds of thousands of dollars every day through this type of visitors.

Springs are all natural sources of drinking water usually situated in distant locations miles away from throngs of people. This water is actually clear of contaminants and other form of impurities. The purity of spring water is what keeps bottled water popular. However, one needs to be sure that you buy these bottled water at a trustworthy manufacturer just for quality reasons.

Bottled water dispensers come in numerous styles and shapes. The most famous would be the standing cooler like shape.

Upon getting the water dispenser, you actually simply need to connect it in and consume either warm or cold water. Dispensers do not need significant maintenance and also regular cleaning up will keep it gleaming.

Bottled water dispensers are very popular and definately will tend to be so for a long period.
