Don't underestimate the importance of ethnicity when targeting second-generation Latinos.
Last Friday, I had the privilege to interview David Iudica, director of strategic insights and research at Yahoo, regarding the second phase of Ethnodynamics.
According to the study, developed by Yahoo, Mindshare, and Added Value, marketers must understand the nuances between the two generations of Hispanics, and how acculturation affects their preferences.
Also, it emphasizes the importance of the vast Latino population growth with a projected spend of $1.5 trillion for 2015. I can't help but think about "Casa de mi Padre," the latest Will Ferrell movie, which was developed completely in Spanish in a clear attempt to reach Hispanic moviegoers.
The Evolving Latino Consumer
The findings stress the notion of how the majority of the Latino population is second generation, American born, and bilingual/English speaking. My colleague, Giovanni Rodriguez, and I have been discussing this phenomenon. So if you are a regular reader of this column, this might not be new to you.
What's important is that the study confirms the trend and provides some insights on the role ethnicity plays when targeting this demographic.
Latinos do nurture ethnicity more than other segments. This is manifested through a series of behaviors like exposing their children to their Latino background, trying to get in touch with their Hispanic identity, feeling very comfortable as it relates to their ethnicity, and being part of activities/traditions that celebrate their heritage.
The Generational Latino Gap
When it comes to generation breakdown, there are some differences that marketers need to consider. Let's take identity and values, for example.
First-generation Latino behavior is much more influenced by ethnicity. Their Latino background plays a major role when it comes to feelings about their individuality, religion, and values. It also affects how they socialize (neighborhoods, close circle of friends, etc.) and other behaviors (eating habits, celebrations, vacations, etc.). For second-generation Latinos, ethnicity is more about outward expression and bicultural in nature.
Content plays an important yet different role. First-generation Hispanics seek content that is in Spanish language and speaks to their ethnicity for topics like news, entertainment, and food. Second-generation Hispanics are more sensitive to how their ethnicity is portrayed in the media.
Second-generation Latinos have a stronger civic commitment. They care about the role Latinos are playing in today's American society. They are very involved in discussions about Latinos' role in the elections, immigration debates, etc. They want to play a major (influential) role and want to make sure that they are taken into consideration.
The Common Thread: Authenticity
For both first- and second-generations, ethnicity is an important part of the past and the present. Both segments agreed: it influences "who I am" and both feel very proud of "how I grew up" as well as "my ethnic identity."
Ethnicity plays a significant part of the Latino identity. As David Iudica, a bicultural Latino himself, said to me: "I have my feet firmly planted in both worlds, it's an important part of my identity."
Overall, it seems that marketers have a long way to go in order to better impact Latino audiences. For different reasons, both first- and second-generations feel they aren't being represented or spoken to in the right way.
This reminds me of a controversy that happened a couple of weeks ago around a proposal to recreate a mural on the walls of the Mission Drive-In Theater in San Antonio, Texas. The images, one of a Mexican sitting asleep against the wall with his sombrero covering his face and another with a stereotypical Mexican posing with a burro, backfired. Sometimes marketers, in trying to connect with Latinos, get hooked with their own stereotypes and generate negative reactions rather than relevance.
The (Right) Approach When Marketing to Latinos
A successful Latino marketing strategy should be built on a common thread: what are the attitudes and behaviors - related to your product category - that bring Latinos together?
A sense of pride, identity, and authenticity (the world I live in) are important for all Latinos.
Authenticity is key. Choosing an authentic Hispanic spokesperson, rather than a well-known spokesperson, is relevant to all Latinos.
Latinos crave ethnic-specific marketing messages, yet portraying an appropriate level of diversity in advertising is critical.
If done right, Hispanics will talk about advertising positively, but they will also be quick to call out negative portrayals.
Messaging should be customized to speak to the individual needs of each generation:
First-generations want Latino content, second-generations want mainstream content but with a Latino flavor.
Authentic Bobbleheads
Will Ferrell's "Casa de mi Padre" seemed to connect with the Latino audience and is set to be a box office success. But, when it comes to how brands "talk" to Latinos, not all are successful stories. Think of Jaime Jarrin, a Hall of Fame broadcaster, who has not been included in the Dodger's 50th-anniversary bobbleheads. Jaime is Latino and broadcasts in Spanish and, according to The Los Angeles Times, that's why he was left out. As the article says, "Jaime Jarrin's primary language has always been Dodger. It's a shame that, in this case, the Dodgers seem to be the only ones who don't understand."
Ask second-generation Latinos. See if they find this kind of behavior to be authentic.

Delta Air Lines Economy Class Flight Review Berlin to New York JFK DEPARTURE SERVICE Berlin Tegel is a very small airport. Check-in procedure was very easy and fast. CABIN APPEARANCE Very old plane (B 767-300), cabin itself was O.K. but bathroom was very dirty after only a few hours flight time. SEATING COMFORT The space you can expect when flying economy. Seats are as old as the plane, it seemed. ONBOARD CATERING Nothing special: Chicken or Pizza. Pizza wasn´t all baked through it seemed, but OK. INFLIGHT ENTERTAINMENT One overhead screen for the movies. Movie and music O.K. but the inflight magazine was the one from last month, so it didn´t help. CABIN STAFF SERVICE Service was okay although I expected them to be a little bit more friendly. FLIGHT ARRIVAL Delta has the oldest terminal at JFK. Luggage came in pretty quick. CUSTOMER TRIP VERDICT For the price we paid it was an alright flight. Nothing really bad, neither really good okay.

When it comes to the Federal Reserve, an accurate "reading of the tea leaves" means paying attention to all of the fine print. And while the markets cheered last week's FOMC meeting with yet another rally, a deeper look at Ben Bernanke's press conference left me with a slightly different taste in my mouth.
If you sift through the "Fedspeak," it becomes obvious that the Fed is now lining up a "monetary cliff" that's bigger than the fiscal one we spent the last half of 2012 worrying about.
Here's what the Fed has in store for us now...
What You Absolutely Need to Know About Money (Part 5)
Ever wonder where the Federal Reserve came from? Shah Gilani explains the little-known history behind the "The Creature from Jekyll Island." Take a look.
Do We Really Need the Federal Reserve?
Last week I spent two days speaking to senior government officials and business leaders in Bermuda, which is one of the world's leading international insurance and reinsurance hubs. The men and women in the room are responsible for hundreds of millions in assets worldwide.
As I was finishing up, I received one of the most provocative questions I've gotten in a long time:
"Does any nation really need a 'Fed'?"
Here is my unequivocal answer...
What You Absolutely Need to Know About Money (Part 4)
Ever wonder why they call the Federal Reserve "The Creature From Jekyll Island?" Shah Gilani explains…
There's More Than One Way for the Fed to End QE
The market has been looking ahead to the inevitable end of the U.S. Federal Reserve's quantitative easing (QE) program with considerable apprehension.
Most market observers expect the end of the Fed's QE asset-purchasing program to immediately result in a sharp sell-off in bonds and higher interest rates.
This is expected to hit the mortgage-backed securities (MBS) market, where the Fed has been very active, quite hard.
As part of a policy to communicate more openly with the markets, Chairman Ben Bernanke and the Fed have been regularly launching QE exit strategy trial balloons into the market to see how quickly they get shot down.
The latest exit strategy that has been gaining traction is the idea of "tapering" QE asset purchases so that there isn't a sudden halt to supply of money flowing from the Fed into the Treasury and MBS markets. The markets seem to be pretty sanguine about the tapering idea, although there has been no specific suggestion on timing.
Instead, the markets have been concentrating on how the Fed will get rid of all of the assets it has accumulated on its balance sheet during the QE program.
Prepare for Years of "QE Forever' with Ben Bernanke at the Helm
When Ben Bernanke testified before Congress Tuesday and Wednesday, he staunchly defended his easy- money policies like quantitative easing, or "QE Forever."
"We do not see the potential costs of the increased risk-taking in some financial markets as outweighing the benefits of promoting a stronger economic recovery," the Federal Reserve chairman said.
Bernanke added the central bank takes "very seriously" the excessive risk-taking its dovish policies could provoke and is watching markets carefully.
He maintained that the bank's accommodative monetary policy has "supported real growth in employment and kept inflation close to our target [2%]."
But some Fed officials are growing concerned about quantitative easing - the Fed's purchases of $85 billion in securities a month - and believe it would be prudent to slow or stop the buying well before the end of 2013. Esther George, president of the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City, is one of the biggest hawks in the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) this year, citing unease about economic stability and inflation.
"While I share the objectives [of the FOMC]," George said in a Feb. 12 speech at the University of Nebraska Omaha, "I dissented because of possible risks and the possible costs of these policies exceeding their benefits...While I have agreed with keeping rates low to support this recovery, I know keeping interest rates near zero has its own consequences."
Despite the increasingly anxious sentiment, as long as Bernanke remains at the helm, QE Forever will be the policy. Here's why.
Ben Bernanke Testimony: We Have "Belts, Suspenders" to Unwind Balance Sheet
The two-day Ben Bernanke testimony before Congress continues today (Wednesday) as the U.S. Federal Reserve Chairman faces the House Financial Services Committee. Members will grill Bernanke for more information on the Fed's exit strategy from quantitative easing (QE) and its easy money policy.
While Bernanke did admit yesterday to the Senate Banking Committee that "there's no risk-free approach" to unwinding the $85 billion-a-month bond-buying program, he shed little light on how the QE measures would end.
In fact, Bernanke's vague answer to Sen. Richard Shelby, R-AL, when asked how the Fed will deleverage the balance sheet, was this: "In terms of exiting from our balance sheet... a couple of years ago we put out a plan; we have a set of tools. I think we have belts, suspenders - two pairs of suspenders. I think we have the technical means to unwind at the appropriate time; of course picking the exact moment to do, of course, is always difficult."
The buying is expected to continue until the Fed sees the unemployment rate fall to at least 6.5%, but Fed critics are concerned about the nearly $3 trillion balance sheet Bernanke has built up already.
With Unchecked U.S. Spending, It's Time to Hedge Against Inflation
Uncontrolled government spending could force the Fed to monetize the government's debt, creating runaway inflation, former Federal Reserve Governor Frederic Mishkin warned in a report.
If these circumstances were to occur, the Fed would be unable to do much, if anything, to control inflation, Mishkin said in the report, presented at a conference at the University of Chicago Booth School of Business.
In that case, Mishkin and his co-authors, David Greenlaw, James Hamilton and Peter Hooper, argue that the result could be "a flight from the dollar," according to a summary of the report by noted Fed-watcher Steven K. Beckner writing for MNI.
The report states, "Countries with high debt loads are vulnerable to an adverse feedback loop in which doubts by lenders lead to higher sovereign interest rates, which in turn make the debt problems more severe ... Countries with debt above 80% of GDP and persistent current-account deficits are vulnerable to a rapid fiscal deterioration as a result of these tipping-point dynamics."
The authors of the report estimate U.S. net debt, excluding debt held by the Social Security Trust Fund, at about 80% of GDP in 2011, double what it was a few years before. To make matters worse, the United States runs a persistent current account deficit, which is funded by borrowing from other countries.
This puts the U.S. in a worse spot than Japan which, although its debt is much higher as a percentage of GDP, has a large current account surplus and a high savings rate.
What Every Investor Should Know About the End of QE
Equity markets around the world Wednesday expressed their distaste for the possible end of the Federal Reserve's quantitative easing (QE) policy. Share prices tumbled from New York to Tokyo. Here's what every investor needs to know.
The Bernanke Shock
The financial world was shocked this month by a demand from Germany's Bundesbank to repatriate a large portion of its gold reserves held abroad.
By 2020, Germany wants 50% of its total gold reserves back in Frankfurt - including 300 tons from the Federal Reserve.
The Bundesbank's announcement comes just three months after the Fed refused to submit to an audit of its holdings on Germany's behalf. One cannot help but wonder if the refusal triggered the demand.
Either way, Germany appears to be waking up to a reality for which central banks around the world have been preparing: the dollar is no longer the world's safe-haven asset and the US government is no longer a trustworthy banker for foreign nations.
It looks like their fears are well-grounded, given the Fed's seeming inability to return what is legally Germany's gold in a timely manner. Germany is a developed and powerful nation with the second largest gold reserves in the world.
If they can't rely on Washington to keep its promises, who can?
FOMC Preview: Will the Fed Continue its $85B/Month Bond-Buying Program?
Investors will be looking to the Federal Reserve Wednesday for clues about how long it might continue its bond-buying program aimed at pushing interest rates down.
The Federal Open Market Committee is expected to release a policy statement at 2:15 p.m. Wednesday, the second day of its two-day meeting.
In keeping with a practice it began last January, the first meeting of the new year will highlight the FOMC's long-term goals and monetary policy.
The Central Bank likely will reiterate the goal it has maintained all of last year: boosting the stagnant U.S. economy.
The Fed's first meeting of 2013 comes after an extraordinarily busy year, capped by two key moves in December.That's when the Fed said it would continue spending $85 billion a month on bond purchases to keep interest rates low. At the same time, the Fed set unemployment and inflation "thresholds" instead of a date when the central bank expected to be able to raise interest rates.
Will the Fed End QE This Summer?
Amid all of the hoopla over the Standard & Poor's 500 Index touching 1,500 on Friday, it seems few people noticed that the yield on 10-year U.S. Treasury bonds has risen to within a couple of basis points of 2%. That is nearly 30 basis points higher than it was one month ago and 10 basis points higher than one year ago.
It seems as if the bond market is beginning to price in higher inflation at the long end of the yield curve, and that is something that has got to be worrying the Fed.
Successive rounds of quantitative easing (QE) have added a lot of liquidity to the U.S. economy and this has been repeated globally with massive amounts of liquidity being pumped into the market by the Bank of Japan (BOJ), the European Central Bank (ECB) and the Bank of England (BOE).
The Bank of Japan has committed itself to further aggressive easing under pressure from the newly elected government headed by Prime Minister Shinzo Abe. Even if BOJ Governor Masaaki Shirakawa has any second thoughts about additional easing, he will keep them to himself.
The Trillion Dollar Trick
Minting a trillion-dollar platinum coin to pay our debts may seem ridiculous. But in fact, our government has done the same thing for the past five years, creating more than $1 trillion out of thin air each year.
Did the Fed Just Admit QE3 Has Been a Major Failure?
After four years of quantitative easing programs, including QE3 just last fall, U.S. Federal Reserve officials have started voicing doubts about its effectiveness and concerns that it is distorting the markets.
And it's not just the Fed's hawks, such as Dallas Fed President Richard Fisher and Philadelphia Fed President Charles Plosser, speaking out against the bond-buying extravaganza.
Doves like Atlanta's Dennis Lockhart and moderates like Kansas City's Esther George have expressed concerns about QE3 as well.
"I do think the growth of the Fed's balance sheet could have longer-term consequences that are worrisome. While I've supported these policy decisions to date, I acknowledge legitimate concerns," Lockhart said in a speech in Atlanta on Monday.
According to the minutes of the December Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting, several members "thought that it would probably be appropriate to slow or to stop purchases well before the end of 2013, citing concerns about financial stability or the size of the balance sheet."
If in fact sentiment within the FOMC is turning against QE3, then the easy money spigot that has helped fuel the stock market and other investments could be switched off sooner than most expected, which could have a sharp impact on the markets.
What You Probably Don't Know About The Federal Reserve and Why It's So Dangerous
It was conceived in 1910 and constructed for the benefit of the private bankers who control it. Congress blessed the scheme in 1913 with passage of the Federal Reserve Act.
These days the Fed doesn't just backstop America's too-big-to-fail banks. It has expanded its doctrine of socializing banking losses globally.
The Fed helped bail out private businesses, foreign big banks and central banks in Europe and Japan in the credit crisis of 2008 and is the model for the European Central Bank, as well as the ECB's primary backstop.
To understand how the Fed gets taxpayers around the world to pay the losses its member banks routinely incur, let's pull back the curtain on the Fed and explain how it operates.
Here's What the Fed Really Does
Banks lend money and sometimes they don't get paid back. That's not a problem if it doesn't happen too often and if profits from other loans and investments cover the loan losses.But since banks have gotten really big and have to make big loans (due to economies of scale and return on capital expectations) they need big borrowers. There are no bigger borrowers on the planet than governments, and that's where a lot of banks are lending.
Of course, governments aren't immune to over-borrowing and insolvency.
All the big banks that lent to banks in countries now in financial straits continue to lend to them because if they don't they won't get paid back what they are owed. Banks would fail from a cascade of losses and would either have to be bailed out or shut down.
That's where the Federal Reserve comes in.

Sarah Palin took the ALS ice bucket challenge and watching her video without sound makes one wonder, what was she trying to do? With the video sound on, it appears Palin is trying to modify the ALS ice bucket challenge by just sipping a glass of Diet Dr. Pepper with some ice cubes in it. Of course, all's well that ends well, and Palin does get the appropriate ice bucket dumped on her head. As reported by Raw Story on Aug. 23, in the end "someone –one of her meth kids probably — hits Sarah with some ice water and she screeches horrifically in a way that will make your testicles retract even if you don't have them."
As of Sunday, August 24, the ALS Association has received $70.2 million in donations compared to $2.5 million during the same time period last year (from July 29 to August 24). Since participants in the ice bucket challenge can choose to which ALS charity to give their donation, Palin writes (or pretends to write) a check doubling the amount that she is making out to the Pete Frates #3 Fund. Peter Frates is a 29-year-old former Division 1 college baseball athlete who was recently diagnosed with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), also known as Lou Gehrig's disease.
After thanking Wasilla's Arctic Cat retailer for nominating her and taking the ALS the ice bucket challenge, Palin nominates her own two "victims," former senator and secretary of state Hillary Clinton and Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.), who was Palin's 2008 running mate. Wasilla's Authorized Arctic Cat is a dealer in Alaska offering accessories, ATVs, motorcycles, snowmobiles, and Triton trailers. As to Clinton and McCain, Palin apparently has some unfinished business to pass on to both of them.
Listening to Palin during the two-minute video makes it all too clear; a "Saturday Night Live" follow-up is unavoidable. In the beginning of her video, Palin says that "of course, I accept the challenge" and continues to point out that she really considers herself to be too old for this kind of activity: "I'm too old for this. C'mon, at this stage of my life, in my career, aren't I a little too prim and proper for all that ice bucket water dump thing?"
But talking about "prim and proper," what was the deal with tugging on her shirt at least five times? Palin is dressed in a red blouse that was apparently meant to match the red stripes in the American flag and the red table cloth in the background. The first time Palin tugs on her shirt is when she says "at this stage of my life."
Since Palin's red blouse is quite evidently too small for her bust size, it makes one wonder if she was trying to rip it off or maybe at least get rid of some of the buttons on it. By tuning out all of Palin's theatrical talk during the video, one is left with quite a memorable impression of 50-year-old Sarah Palin, it's time to buy a new blouse that matches her bust size -- and the American flag.

Cheers: Several local groups and businesses combined forces last weekend to honor and celebrate those who have risked their lives for our country. Three days of activities — from hunting to fishing to poker to concerts — were provided for a group of 35 veterans, with the weekend being led by the Home with Heroes organization.
For an idea of how the three days of festivities impacted the vets, Columbian reporter Dave Kern quoted Army veteran Monique Martin: "I bagged three pheasants. I caught a 10-pound salmon. I had never played poker before and I finished seventh in the tournament." As if a full weekend of fun and appreciation wasn't enough, Home with Heroes conspired to surreptitiously remodel the home of Marine Dmitri Stoyanoff while he was away for the festivities. Allowing vets to spend time with those who have gone through similar experiences, the honors were well deserved.
Jeers: Once again, we must take issue with Gov. Jay Inslee's proposal to seek a transportation bill from the Legislature that does not provide funding for a new Interstate 5 Bridge. Inslee reiterated this week that he would like to call lawmakers together for a special session in search of a bill to fund other major transportation projects across the state. That would mean an increase to the gas tax.
Unless the governor is willing to exempt Southwest Washington drivers from paying such a tax — and that's not going to happen — the proposal is an affront to people in this part of the state. For too long, money collected from Clark County drivers has been used to fund megaprojects in the Puget Sound area or near Spokane. The I-5 crossing might be the most important transportation concern in the entire state, and it should be treated as such. Ignoring it won't make it go away.
Cheers: Congratulations to all who participated in — or contributed to — Vancouver's annual Girlfriends Half Marathon. An estimated 1,800 women completed the 13.1-mile race that benefitted Susan G. Komen for the Cure, the Childrens Center in Vancouver, and the Kearney Breast Center at PeaceHealth Southwest Medical Center.
With entry fees plus assistance from sponsors and volunteers, the event raised more than $20,000 for the Komen foundation and about $5,000 for the Childrens Center. In addition, six men dubbed the Pink Brigade raised $11,000 for the Kearney center. While benefitting the fight against a serious disease, the Girlfriends Half Marathon long has been about fun. So, for one day, the Pink Brigade can be counted as honorary girlfriends.
Jeers: After 22 years, owner Brian Wassman has put Vancouver's last remaining record store up for sale. Everybody's Music has been a fixture in Uptown Village for more than two decades, but Wassman has decided it's time for him to move on.
Brick-and-mortar record stores have suffered in recent years with the rise of online music downloads. But being able to flip through stacks of vinyl LPs and CD cases retains a visceral appeal. Here's hoping Wassman can find a buyer who will keep the doors open.
Cheers: For now, we'll remain in the skeptics' camp, but a project to verify and sequence the DNA of Sasquatch sounds interesting. A group that got its start on the Olympic Peninsula is collecting samples — hair, saliva, etc. — believed to be from Bigfoot, and is trying to scientifically prove the existence of the legendary creature.
Organizers believe they are making headway; scientists who have reviewed their work aren't so sure. Either way, Sasquatch long has been associated with the wilderness of Washington. If such creatures are proven to exist, we gladly will claim them as ours. But we kind of hope that proof can't be found; part of the fun has always been the mystery and speculation.

Trees green canopy blocks the sun A place where variety of birds have fun Crows, magpies search on the ground While the falcons screech does resound Robins, swallows, wrens fly in mad chase Round corners into the trees with haste Some will sit on top of the fence line Singing and chirping in the sunshine

Portugal. The Man | 09.23 | CaliforniaThe Man doesn't turn back on its original sound, even when playing songs off new album...
"People who have been watching the act slowly mature since its inception often feel a type of ownership and get pissed off when a band ditches their experimental roots, instead opting for pop song structures and hooky riffs."
fuck those pretentious assholes, a band can create what it wants and a better fan would be happy for their success
Maybe they just don't want to make the same album over and over.
Good summation. I was highly surprised to see a review of these guys; I feel like they're still off the beaten path enough that few know about them (especially here on the east coast). Unfortunately, I feel like I'll catch them on late-night mtv2 sometime soon, what with the current desires of the pop market. More power to 'em; they certainly deserve the positive attention. Lookin' forward to Philly!
meh review. great show.
Terrible review! Way to sit on the fence and not really come to any kind of definitive conclusion. Did you like it or not? It feels like you like the show but hate the new material. I hate to break it to you but it's not the goal of a band to hover in mediocrity for you benefit. Expand the sound, try something new and make a career out of it. In my opinion the new album is in the top 5 of the year.
Don't be fooled by the more of a pop sound in Satanic Satanist. They still bring it when it comes to their shows. When I saw them at Bonnaroo this year, I thought the stage was going to catch fire, their show was amazing.
bonnaroo set was dope as all hell
I saw these guys this last weekend at Schubas in Chicago, and it was fantastic. They are one of those bands that just comes out and delivers the goods. They played probably 5 songs off the new album, but they were all great songs. The best thing about these guys is that when they start the show, there is no pausing or talking to the crowd. They just come out and rock. I even got to meet the lead singer and keyboard player after the the show, and they both were really cool people that were genuinely happy to talk to the fans.

11 of 11
7A Cafe 109 Ave. A (at E. 7th St.), 212-475-9001 Yuca Bar 111 Ave. A (at E. 7th St.), 212-982-9533 These two restaurants eye each other across East 7th. Both provide lively atmospheres and outdoor seating, and both have been around for a while. 7A Cafe serves standard American diner food 24/7, from burgers, wraps and sandwiches to nachos, chicken wings and mozzarella sticks. Brunch staples like French toast and frittatas come with your choice of a mimosa, screwdriver or other lazy-Sunday-appropriate beverage. Sunshiny yellow Yuca Bar serves "cocina latina," and its menu roams across the Caribbean and into South America. Popular items include guacamole, empanadas, taquitos and quesadillas. Among the drink specials are mojitos, margaritas, sangria and rum-based, house-made mixtures. Across the street is Tompkins Square Park, once a symbol of the City's—and the neighborhood's—struggles, now a testament to their successes. A stroll around its paths is the perfect way to walk off some of your East 7th Street indulgences.
