This invention relates to a martial arts training device, and more particularly to a kickboxing training device which incorporates a target pad and striking glove to provide a more realistic training session.
The sport of kickboxing involves a combat situation where opponents strike each other with their hands and feet. Kickboxing training has recently become very popular as an activity for providing aerobic exercise. Traditional training for kickboxing typically includes sparring situations where a first person holds a target pad and a second person strikes the pad numerous times. After awhile, the second person holds the target pad while the first person strikes it repeatedly. This type of exchange generally occurs numerous times during a training session. Commercially available pads worn on the forearm for this exercise are sold under the names Macho Martial Arts from Macho Products, Inc. of Sebastian, Fla.; and Powerline™ from Century™.
During training, kickboxers often where gloves for protecting their hands. Commercially available kickboxing gloves are available under the names Everlast from Everlast� Sports Manufacturing Corporation of Bronx, N.Y.; Macho Martial Arts from Macho Products, Inc. of Sebastian, Fla.; Hitman� of DHB Capital Group, Inc. of Oakland Park, Fla.; and Powerline™ from Century™.
A martial arts training device is provided by the present invention. The martial arts training device includes an integrally constructed target pad and striking glove. The target pad is provided for protecting a wearer's forearm, when the wearer is receiving strikes from another combatant. The striking glove is provided for protecting the wearer's hand when the wearer is striking either another combatant or a target pad.
The martial arts training device preferably includes a frame comprising a shield and a handle. The shield being received within the striking pad for receiving strikes and distributing the force of the strike against the wearer's forearm. The handle being received within the striking glove for allowing the wearer to hold onto the handle to provide further stability. The shield and the handle can be integrally constructed from a single material or they can be assembled together.
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a martial arts training device according to the principles of the present invention;
FIG. 2 is a sectional, side view of the martial arts training device according to FIG. 1;
FIG. 3 is a top view of the martial arts training device of FIG. 1;
FIG. 4 is a perspective view of the frame of the martial arts training device; and
FIG. 5 is a perspective view of an alternative embodiment of the frame that can be used in the martial arts training device of the invention.
With reference now to the various figures in which identical elements are identically numbered throughout, a description of the preferred embodiments of the present invention will now be provided. While the invention is disclosed in the context of a preferred embodiment, it will be appreciated that the invention includes numerous modifications from the preferred embodiment.
With reference to FIGS. 1-4, a martial arts training device is shown at reference numeral 10. It should be understood that the martial arts training device 10 can be used for a variety of the martial arts including boxing, karate, kickboxing, tae kown do, and kung-fu. A particularly preferred application of the martial arts training device 10 is as a kickboxing training device. While the following invention is described with respect to a kickboxing training device, it should be appreciated that the device has application in the other martial arts. The features of the martial arts training device 10 are particularly well adapted for kickboxing training.
The kickboxing training device 10 includes two general regions. The first region can be referred to as the forearm protector region 12 and the second region can be referred to as the hand protector region 14. In general, the forearm protector region 12 includes a target pad 16, and the hand protector region 14 includes a glove or mitt 18. The target pad 16 and the glove 18 are integrally attached to provide a unitary structure. It is an advantage of the present invention that the target pad 16 and the glove 18 can be used in a complementary fashion. That is, wearing the glove 18 assists in the use of the target pad 16 by helping to receive and distribute impacts delivered to the target pad 16. Similarly, it is expected that the target pad 16 assists the wearer of the glove 18 by helping to keep the wearer's fist and forearm structurally aligned in a desired striking motion, and by providing additional mass when the wearer is striking another object.
It should be understood that the kickboxing training device 10 is intended to be worn by a combatant in a kickboxing training exercise. The wearer or user inserts an arm into the device 10 so that the user's hand grips the handle 19 and the band 21 wraps around the user's arm to hold the target pad 16 against the user's forearm. The user can use the kickboxing training device 10 for delivering strikes against another object via the glove 18, and can receive strikes from an opponent via the target pad 16.
Kickboxing training devices according to the invention can be worn by both of the combatants in a kickboxing training exercise. Preferably, the devices are worn on each arm of the kickboxing combatants. By providing each combatant with the device, a more fluid sparring situation can be achieved compared with traditional kickboxing training techniques. The device allows the combatants to exchange and receive blows or strikes much more fluidly compared with prior art training devices which require one of the combatants to hold a target while the other combatant strikes at the target. After one of the combatants strikes the pad numerous times, they typically exchange the pads so that the other combatant has the opportunity to practice striking. In contrast, the kickboxing training device of the invention can be used so that the combatants do not have to exchange equipment during the training exercise. Rather, they can exchange punches more readily which provides for a more fluid and realistic kickboxing exercise.
A feature of the target pad 16 and the glove 18 which allows both components to work together is the presence of the frame 23 which includes a shield 24 and a frame handle 26. The shield 24 extend along a portion of the forearm protector region 12 and is sufficiently rigid so that it can withstand impacts and distribute the impacts across its surface. The shield 24 is a generally flat and wide and includes a force receiving surface 28 which is generally directed outward when the device is in use, and a force distributing surface 30 which rest against the user's forearm when the device is worn. While the training device 10 is worn, an opponent's strike against the target pad 16 will be received by the force receiving surface 28 and distributed across the wearer's forearm. The shield 24 is expected to receive forces resulting from kickboxing strikes thereon and distribute the force across its surface without fracturing.
The handle 19 is provided for gripping by the wearer's hand. It should be appreciated that while the device shown in FIGS. 1-4 is a left handed device, the invention includes a right handed device which can be practiced according to the teachings of the invention. Because the shield 24 and the frame handle 26 are attached together to form the frame 23, gripping the handle 26 will help keep the shield 24 is its proper position across the user's forearm, and it is expected that the gripping hand will absorb at least a portion of the force created by impacting the target pad 16.
As shown in FIG. 4, the shield 24 and the handle 26 are provided from two pieces of rigid material which are adhered together at the seam 45. An additional support piece 46 is glued in place in order to further assist in providing the frame 23 with the desired degree of structural stability. It should be appreciated, however, that the frame 23 can be manufactured from a single piece of rigid material by, for example, injection molding or by thermal forming. In a preferred embodiment, the rigid material 40 is a plastic sheet which has been bent or molded after heating to allow formation of the frame handle 26. The frame handle 26 and the shield 24 are connected together via the left and right arms 42 and 44. It should be appreciated that alternative way of attaching the shield 24 and the frame handle 26 can be practiced according to the present invention. For example, the handle can be bolted onto the shield to enhance the attachment.
An alternative embodiment of the frame is shown at reference numeral 100 in FIG. 5. The frame 100 is formed from a sheet of plastic material which has been heated above its softening temperature and then molded to provide a handle 102 and a shield 104.
A strike receiving pad 50 is provided over the force receiving surface 28. The strike receiving pad 50 is provided to cushion the impact felt by the combatant striking the target pad 16. Preferably, the strike receiving pad 50 is a relatively thick foam pad 52 having a structure and thickness which is sufficient to absorb a strike inflicted by an opponent without harming the opponent. In the case of an open cell foam, it is expected that the thickness of the foam pad 50 will be between about 11/2 and 3 inches, and preferably about 2 inches. Of course, this thickness of the foam pad 50 can be adjusted to account for foam density and for the desired degree of cushioning. The strike receiving pad 50 preferably extends several inches beyond the lower edge 54 and the side edges 56 of the shield 22 in order to provide sufficient protection and softening of the edges. Preferably, the edges 54 and 56 are rounded in order to avoid providing a sharp edge which may injure an opponent if the target pad 16 is struck incorrectly.
The foam pad 50 is covered with a skin 60 which holds the foam 50 in place. A forearm cushioning foam 62 is provided covering the force distributing surface 30 of the shield 24. The forearm cushioning foam 62 is provided to cushion the target pad 16 against the wearer's forearm and increase comfort. An additional foam wrist block 64 is provided as further comfort and to correctly position the wearer's hand within the device. Another skin 65 is provided covering the forearm cushioning foam 62 and the foam wrist block 64.
It should be understood that the shield 24, the foam pad 52, the forearm cushioning foam 62, and the foam wrist block 64 are all preferably attached together by adhesive. Alternatively, it should be understood that the foam pad 52 and the forearm cushioning foam 62 can be prepared from one foam material having a cutout region in which the shield 24 can be inserted.
The glove 18 is provided for protecting the hand of the wearer. The glove 18 includes a hand protecting foam 70 surrounded by an outer skin 72 and an inner skin 74. This structure is attached to the target pad 16 so that it covers the wearer's hand. Preferably, the inner skin 74 and the skin 65 are sufficiently resistant to moisture to prevent perspiration from seeping into the hand protecting foam 70 or the forearm cushioning foam 62. In addition, the material should resist rotting caused by contact with perspiration. The kickboxing training device preferably includes vent openings 80 along the sides of the glove 18 in order to promote cooling of the wearer's hand. It is expected that the wearer will use the surface 91 for delivering punches.
The frame handle 26 is preferably covered with a gripping material 75 which assists the wearer in holding onto the training device. Preferably, the gripping material 75 is a material which allows the wearer to grip it when the wearer's hand is wet. An exemplary preferred material is a rubbery material. It is expected that when the kickboxing training device 10 is worn, the wearer's thumb will wrap underneath the handle 19.
As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the rearward portion 82 of the glove 18 is anchored to the target pad 16 at tack lines 84. Furthermore, the skin components are all sewn together at the indicated seams 86. While the invention is described with respect to several separate skin components which are sewn together, it is contemplated that the kickboxing device can be manufactured from a single skin material.
The frame 23 is preferably manufactured from a plastic material which is sufficiently resilient to stresses resulting from receiving strikes and delivering strikes that it will not crack or disfigure during use. In addition, it is preferable that the frame 23 is made of a rigid material which is sufficiently light weight that it does not cause undue fatigue in the wearer. In a preferred embodiment, the rigid material is manufactured from a polyethylene teraphthalate polymer, such as, glycol-modified polyethylene teraphthalate (PETG) which is available under the name Ultros PETG 6763 copolyester from Eastman Chemical Products, Inc. It is preferable that the frame 23 is manufactured from an amorphous material so that it will not embrittle upon aging as a result of crystallization.
It should be understood that the size of the martial arts training device can be altered to accommodate the different sizes associated with use by men, women, and children. It is expected that the length of the target pad, for example, will depend on the length of the user's forearm, and the size of the glove will depend on the size of the wearer's hand.
The skin is preferably a material which is sufficiently resistant to impact so that it can be used as a covering for a target pad and for a striking glove. In addition, because the skin will encounter moisture, primarily from sweat, it is expected that the skin should sufficiently resist damage caused by contact with moisture. A preferred skin material is a vinyl backed cloth. Furthermore, it is desirable for the skin to sufficiently cover the foam so that moisture does not absorb into the foam.

This Year Make a Manifesto vs Resolution
Manifestos are Declarations
Mines the document style of a manifesto, which is a flexible, deep declaration of ones principles, values, and beliefs.
Notes that manifestos are of any size or visual design and incorporate a wide variety of statements about one's life, and while they are permanent, they can be revised and augmented, as your experiences change. A resolution is far more temporary, lasting only a year, but usually discarded after a few days. A manifesto is a more lasting guide for life, providing answers in both happy and difficult moments.

Why is America again unjustly at war? Why is its politics distorted by wedge issues like abortion and gay marriage? Why is anti-Semitism still so powerfully resurgent? Such contradictions within democracies arise from a patriarchal psychology still alive in our personal and political lives in tension with the equal voice that is the basis of democracy. The book joins a psychological approach with a political-theoretical one that traces both this psychology (based on loss in intimate life) and resistance to it (based on the love of equals) to the Roman Republic and Empire and to three Latin masterpieces: Virgil's Aeneid, Apuleius's The Golden Ass, and Augustine's Confessions. Democratic resistance in religion, psychology, the arts, and politics rests on free voices challenging patriarchal restrictions on the love of equals. In addition to examining why we are at war, this book explains many other aspects of our present situation including why movements of ethical resistance are often accompanied by a freeing of sexuality and why we are witnessing an aggressive fundamentalism at home and abroad.

18 Feb The Perfect View: Why You Should Build Your Custom Home On Your Lot
Home sweet (custom built) home!
You have reached the exciting and momentous decision of building your custom dream home. By investing in a custom home, you and your family can attain exactly the type of home you want, in terms of size, style, and specialty offerings.
The house's customization, however, does not have to end with the walls of the home. While a piece of property in a neighborhood or planned community is attractive in some respects- club houses, golf courses, and other pre-planned amenities- the flexibility of building your custom home on a lot of your choosing offers a variety of unique benefits.
Let's discuss 5 smart reasons a home owner may choose to build their dream home on their own lot.
You can choose the perfect type of land for you. Building in a planned neighborhood automatically rules out many options that can be available to you if you choose your own lot. Love the mountains? Choose a piece of land with a mountain view. Enjoy the lake? Decide on a lake lot that offers access to the water. Need a helicopter pad? Buy a piece of property that is outside of areas ruled by city noise restrictions. The possibilities open up greatly when you really begin thinking about the specific lifestyle, view, and space you crave with the house of your dreams.
It frees up community restrictions. When talking with luxury home owners, a good and not so great point they will inevitably make about their property will be the power of the homeowner's association. While this organization typically guards the property values of the neighborhood by prohibiting inappropriate dwellings, excessive clutter, or atrocious colors, sometimes, well, they can be real pains. Home owners desiring more freedom of choice for their property may not want to tangle with the restrictions of a strict homeowner's association. Building on a lot that is independent of a homeowner's association makes a great deal of sense in this situation, and can circumvent headaches down the road.
It allows for greater customization. A main reason you are choosing to custom build a home in the first place is most likely because you desire amenities not readily available in houses already on the market. These may be specific layouts (multi-family homes is an example that comes to mind), large outdoor entertaining areas, and extra privacy. Owning and building on your own lot give you the freedom to integrate any and all amenities you and your family desire into your future residence. After all, if you are taking the time and making the investment to build it, you should be able to get exactly what you want.
It enables you to build on a larger piece of property. When you imagine your dream home, is it surrounded by a sweeping expanse of land on all sides? Building a home on many acres of land is most likely not going to be a reality within a planned neighborhood. By choosing to purchase your own lot, you can choose as many acres as you feel you need to secure your comfort and privacy.
It offers more leeway in outbuildings, guest houses. Constructing a separate building to house your home office, a five car garage, or a guest house for visiting family and friends may be part of your dream house plans. If your luxury home plans include more than just the main house, building your custom home on a separately purchased piece of property may be the ideal solution. Your own lot can allow you the flexibility of customizing outbuildings to fit your plans and lifestyle.
Depending on your situation and the amenities you want included in your dream home, choosing your own lot may be the ideal choice for you and your family. Along with the benefits, there are a few items to consider when you are deciding on the property for your future residence.
First, have the land professionally evaluated.
Engage the builder and ask for an evaluation of the property, and whether or not your luxury home plans will be a good fit. The last issue you want on your hands is a property that is too narrow, or not flat enough, or harbors some other issue that causes it to not mesh well with the plans of your dream home.
Then, consider the potential additional cost.
A piece of property in a less-developed or more remote area can add to the overall cost of the build. Transporting the materials and the building crew travel time are just a few expenses that will most likely increase when building on your own lot. Analyze the numbers and determine if the amenities the property offers will be worth the extra expense on your part.
Finally, choose an experienced builder you trust.
Perhaps the most critical aspect of the build, and the one that will set a successful or dismal outcome right off the bat, is choosing the builder you trust to handle the job. A custom home on the lot of your choosing will require a great deal of expertise. A builder who is not accustomed to the type of terrain the house will sit on, or the materials that are needed to make the structure sound, can end up producing disastrous and outrageously expensive results. Talk to the builder about the type of materials required for your specific lot, drainage issues, insulation, and the heating and cooling needs of your particular luxury home plans. Make certain all your questions are answered in an honest, straightforward manner.
When building a luxury custom home on your own lot, the sky is the limit in what can be accomplished and the amenities that can be enjoyed. It pays you to carefully think about the type of home that will best fit you and your family's needs and lifestyle. Once you decide whether or not building on your own lot is the right decision for you, talk with your builder to set the plan to get your dream home underway!

Nelly Duff Gallery is a new show from Kozyndan, titled " And then there were none". Kozyndan are Dan and Kozue Kitchens. The Los Angeles based 'Mad Scientists' of the art world who have made waves on the international art scene...
Since the late 1990s, their collaboration has resulted in a series of personal works that often reflect their affection – and repulsion – for the rampant urban sprawl and technological overload that characterise everyday city life. They have appeared in group shows alongside Banksy, Shepard Fairey and as part of the hugely popular 'Spank the Monkey' exhibition at the Baltic Mill.
Nelly Duff will be hosting Kozyndan for their first UK solo show. On view will be a series of paintings and drawings never before seen, also a new limited edition print to be released on the night (maybe including a bunny or two) One not to miss it!

text: Mike Bloomfield - Essential Blues 1964-1969 • Funk Soul Disco Jazz • Year : 0 • On demand! (album available 128-320kbs)* 0 Label Facebook Twitter Google+ Pinterest Hide/Show Album Info Fifteen tracks covering the pioneering blues-rock guitarist's '60s work, which was by far his best and most influential. Bloomfield worked with a bunch of bands during the decade, and the compilation flits rather hurriedly from his contributions to the Paul Butterfield Blues Band and Electric Flag, to his collaborations with Al Kooper, as well as some late-'60s solo tracks (none of his groundbreaking mid-'60s work with Dylan is here). Collectors will be interested in the first five songs, which date from previously unreleased sessions produced by John Hammond in late 1964 and early 1965. Featuring Charlie Musselwhite on harmonica, this pre-Butterfield Blues Band outfit plays convincingly, but the material is standard-issue, and Bloomfield's vocals are thin and weak (they didn't improve much over time). As befits Bloomfield's considerable but erratic talent, this is an interesting but erratic compilation; seek out the first two Paul Butterfield albums for a more cohesive showcase of his skills.Part 2 #tags The album code is : ODI179136 You may also like ...

Washington, DC - Today the U.S. Agency for International Development announced funding to help educate children impacted by humanitarian crises in Africa and called on innovators to develop solutions to global hunger. The two announcements, which coincided with the 71st UN General Assembly and President Obama's Leaders' Summit on Refugees, demonstrate USAID's ongoing commitment to improving livelihoods and creating opportunities for people around the world.
Following years of conflict and national policies aimed at encouraging sedentarization of pastoral populations, international and bilateral actors are increasingly shifting their focus towards supporting animal production systems. This report reviews the state of animal-based livelihoods in the Karamoja region of northeastern Uganda and examines how animal ownership affects a household's ability to weather shocks.
This report shows:
Launched in 2005 by President George W. Bush and expanded under President Barack Obama, the U.S. President's Malaria Initiative (PMI) is a historic U.S. Government effort to lead the fight against malaria. Since the beginning of the Obama Administration, with the support of Congress, annual funding levels for PMI doubled.
The Feed the Future Innovation Lab for Food Security Policy recently released its annual report covering research and activities progress over the past year. The overall goal of the FSP program is to promote inclusive agricultural productivity growth, improved nutritional outcomes, and enhanced livelihood resilience for men and women through improved policy environments. The goal will be achieved by fostering credible, inclusive, transparent and sustainable policy processes at country and regional levels and filling critical policy evidence gaps.

Each year, in the days leading up to holiday gatherings across the United States, stoves and ovens put in a lot of hours.
Many are used to cook turkeys; some roast more than one. Stovetops steam green beans, simmer gravies, and cook cranberries down to a sauce.
The goal of Developing Economic Strengthening Interventions for Group Production (DESIGN) is to design a better cooperative development model in Uganda by working with rural smallholders to understand their motivations and expectations for joining cooperatives. The program assesses individual's "willingness to cooperate" used as a proxy for "trust," to understand the drivers of cooperation and to assess how trust forms and/or changes overtime within a cooperative.
Newborns are perhaps the most vulnerable population the world over. Preterm or babies born too early, less than 37 weeks gestation, are particularly at risk. Currently, prematurity is the leading cause of death among children under five around the world, and a leading cause of disability and ill health later in life. Sub-Saharan Africa and south Asia account for over 60 percent of preterm births worldwide. Of the fifteen million babies born too early each year, more than one million die due to complications related to preterm birth.
This MOP presents a detailed implementation plan to be implemented with FY 2016 funds in Uganda. This document reviews the current status of malaria control policies and interventions, describes progress to date, identifies challenges and unmet needs, and describes planned activities under PMI.

A new coating, illuminated by a low-cost infrared laser, can produce powerful beams of warm white light.
But the light they give out spreads in all directions. For room illumination, where wide-beam lighting is needed, this is ideal. On the other hand, it frustrates applications like projectors or microscopes, which need a tightly-focused beam.
The new coating, which is a white powder, relatively easy to make and stable at temperatures up to 300 degrees celsius, comprises clusters of tin and sulphur atoms, which arrange themselves into diamond-like shapes. Fixed to these core regions are short hydrocarbon chains.

November 3, 1967
Howard ROSS and Bernard Ross as Trustees for Lena Rosenbaum, Plaintiffs,
Robert A. BERNHARD et al., Defendants
McLEAN, District Judge.
This is a stockholders' derivative action by stockholders of The Lehman Corporation against directors of that corporation and against Lehman Brothers, the corporation's broker.* The complaint charges in substance that The Lehman Corporation has paid to Lehman Brothers brokerage commissions which are excessive for a variety of reasons and that the assets of The Lehman Corporation have thereby been wasted. This is said to be a violation of the Investment Company Act of 1940 (15 U.S.C. § 80a-1 et seq.). Defendants Clark, Francis, Kircher, Puckett, Reavis, Thornton, and Wilde move to strike plaintiffs' demand for a jury trial.
Whether or not plaintiffs are entitled to a jury trial depends upon the answer to two questions:
(1) Does the fact that this is a stockholders' derivative action, a creature of equity, in and of itself deprive plaintiffs of a trial by jury?
(2) If not, and if the question of a jury trial is to be viewed as though the corporation were suing, is the action a "suit at common law" within the meaning of the Seventh Amendment?
As to the first question, opposite conclusions were reached in Richland v. Crandall, 259 F. Supp. 274 (S.D.N.Y.1966), and DePinto v. Provident Security Life Insurance Company, 323 F.2d 826 (9th Cir. 1963), cert. denied, 376 U.S. 950, 84 S. Ct. 969, 11 L. Ed. 2d 970 (1964). In my opinion the DePinto view is the correct one. The court there held that although the aid of equity is needed in order to establish the stockholders' right to sue on behalf of the corporation, the claim is that of the corporation and the right to a jury trial is to be judged as though the corporation were suing. This decision gives effect to Fleitmann v. Welsbach Street Lighting Co., 240 U.S. 27, 60 L. Ed. 505, 36 S. Ct. 233 (1916), and Fanchon & Marco, Inc. v. Paramount Pictures, Inc., 202 F.2d 731, 36 A.L.R.2d 1336 (2d Cir. 1953), in which this result was reached in antitrust treble damage actions. I see no reason why this rule should be peculiar to antitrust litigation. I will follow it here.
As to the second question, the allegations of the complaint are controlling. The complaint uses a number of harsh words. It charges that defendants have been guilty of "gross abuse of trust, gross misconduct, willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence and a reckless disregard of their fiduciary duties." The prayer is for a judgment "requiring the defendants jointly and severally to account for and pay to the Corporation for their profits and gains and its losses."
The fact that plaintiffs seek an accounting, a word which smacks of equity, is not determinative. Dairy Queen, Inc. v. Wood, 369 U.S. 469, 82 S. Ct. 894, 8 L. Ed. 2d 44 (1962).
Plaintiffs are seeking a money judgment. They ask that defendants "pay" to the corporation defendants' gains and the corporation's loss. The issues are not so complicated as to make it impracticable for a jury to asceratin the amount, if any, to which plaintiffs may be entitled.
It is true that the complaint employs equitable language in alleging that defendant directors have abused their trust and have disregarded their fiduciary duties. But the alleged facts which underlie these conclusions are simply that defendants have caused the corporation to pay out money which the corporation should not have paid, and that in consequence, the corporation is entitled to judgment for those moneys. This diversion of funds is alleged to be a conversion by defendants of the corporate assets. Whatever the law may formerly have been, I am persuaded that recent decisions of the Supreme Court, which have gone far in protecting the right to a jury trial under the Seventh Amendment, require the conclusion that this complaint states on behalf of the corporation a claim which is fundamentally legal rather than equitable. Dairy Queen, Inc. v. Wood, supra ; Beacon Theatres, Inc. v. Westover, 359 U.S. 500, 79 S. Ct. 948, 3 L. Ed. 2d 988 (1959); See also DePinto v. Provident Security Life Insurance Company, supra.
Defendants' motion is denied.
So ordered.

KEARNY - Gov. Chris Christie joined former Gov. Jim McGreevey at the Hudson County Jail today to show his support for McGreevey's Integrity House program.
Almost two dozen female inmates are participating in the federally funded program, aimed at addressing the problems that keep inmates returning to jail such as drug addiction and unemployment.
McGreevey says three out of four women in the program never return to jail.
Gov. Christie pointed out that the plan makes sense for financial reasons too because a year of treatment costs the state less than half of a year of incarceration.

Texans fans going stir crazy over the team's lack of action are surely doing cartwheels now.
In losing free agent safety Glover Quin, the team was left with enough cap room to chase a veteran replacement. And the first candidate to fill the empty slot in the secondary is play-making veteran Ed Reed, per John McClain of Houston Chronicle.
Adding a ball hawk like Reed would be nice. But two issues work against him.
He'll be 35 on Sept. 11. And while he may be as good as any safety ever in terms of playing the ball, he's always going to be eager to play the ball. Which means the Texans wouldn't be using him (wasting him?) by design as a linebackerish safety in some personnel groupings. That's a spot in which Quin excelled. I'd expect Reed would want to play deeper more often.
That's fine. Defenses evolve, and coordinator Wade Phillips would surely have ways to use a talent like Reed in a system that ultimately didn't get enough plays from a secondary that finished poorly in 2012, much like the team.
Reed wouldn't be a long-term answer.
But if the Texans sign him and draft a guy at the position in a strong year for safeties, the kid could learn a lot from Reed and Danieal Manning before taking over in a year or two.

Buyer Behavior and Communication Strategies
Applied Management
The Toyota Motor Corporation
The Toyota Corporation, a Japanese organization of automotives, is popular for the successful innovations and manufacture of the Toyota vehicles and other products. The Toyota vehicles have many profound advantages and benefits. The Toyota users, who are beneficiaries, have agreed that the Toyota product has always observed the sustainability issues, of economical use, society and the care of the environment. Toyotas vehicles are designed in favorable state that is to ensure they are not privy to encouraging of the rapid depletion of the scarce resources of nature. The most recognized benefit of the automotive is, therefore, its ability in preventing any degradation of the environment, including pollution. The production of the suitable vehicles has made Toyota a company is reputable, for its endless effort of stabilizing Japan's economy, as a result of reducing environmental costs. Environmental costs have always been a tragic issue in any country's economy (Cortez & Cudia, 2010).
With its headquarters in Tokyo, Japan, the company has always focused on the production and sales of motor vehicles and their spare parts. The company runs a global market, with its products in use all over the world. Known for their well finished designs and economical maintenance expenses, the vehicles have earned market for all classes in the society, ranging from the middle class to the wealthy, with all classes getting their test and preferences prioritized. This explains why there was a tremendous increase of imported vehicles from Japan to the states, from 2005. In fact, the Toyota firm based in North America is getting larger by the day, as a result of greater demand for their cars, compared to those manufactured in America. The users of Toyota are both the middle size and the rich, but most of its users have the economical traits, as Toyota vehicles have proven to beat economical constrains, in terms of purchase and maintenance.
The company is self-driven by the right motivation and governance, to ensure its performance. The values treasured most include innovation and learning. Employees, who are over 60,000, are educated on the power of innovation as a strategy to succeeding. The company also values simplicity, as an element in solution reaching. Creativity and elegance are mentioned as the running force of the organization (May, 2007). The functional objective of Toyota is to produce a car that is dependable, and not prone to frequent mechanical problems. Other objectives include ensuring global domination in supplies, providing cars that are reliable and very comforting to the users. The organization's objectives have been reached in the past years, due to the innovation value. The company has an edge over its incumbents like Mazda and Ford, but the president of Toyota, Akio Toyoda, has always been optimistic about competition, because the organization has competitive favor in automobile. The organization has ensured manufacture of products that the consumers demand, making them the best sellers for many years (Amason, 2010).
The Segmentation Theory
Before any company undergoes segmentation, there has to be an understanding of the consumer behavior. This will assist in clustering the Toyota users based on their attitudes towards the cars, and the most similar clusters become of segmentation interest. The company then decides to choose a segment where there is the greatest business chance. The process is tricky, due to the dimensions used in segmenting automotives. This can be done by country (geographical), by the value of product (Small cars compared with big, luxurious cars) and even the service type. Most car companies like Volkswagen and Toyota have different segments but most of the segments are related due to utilization of facilities (Whitehead, 2012). Toyota's segmentation was targeting the executive markets, which offer the users with intimacy in quality.
The segmentation was to succeed the Mercedes and BMW. The organization differentiated through branding of an executive car, Lexus. The advantages of segmentation, like for the sport cars, the users value comfort ability, the size, how economical the fuel consumption is, and the car's carrying capacity. The design and appearance matter, but not to a big extend. The advantage is that the Toyota Company knows the tests of the users, designs what they need, and dictates the price they want. The disadvantage comes when for instance, Toyota design the Lexus, aimed at the executive segment then the other middle-class users are locked out, as they hardly afford the car (Cheetham & Nicla, 2007).
Toyota's total market and Target market
Toyota has maintained a mass total market, which provides for much segmentation according to their needs. The corporation has adopted the differentiated targeting strategy where there are vast segments, and a different marketing mix is employed to the different markets. This has borne fruit at the Corporation, because the varied marketing mixes aim more users, hence more sales of the cars. The entire market capacity for Toyota has increased over the years, due to integrating the total market strategy (Ferrell & Pride, 2008).
The target market for Toyota has been determined by the differentiation target, as the company has fought tirelessly to ensure it provides different segments with what they need. The target market for Toyotas has been mostly the middle class, who treasure capabilities and durability of the cars. Recently, competition from the other automobile companies like BMW has forced the Toyota Corporation to target the executive market, where the users do not worry much about the vehicles' price, but rather the comfort, capacity and quality that come with it. The corporation also targets the segments of the geographical areas where environmental costs are regulated, like Europe. An example is the Toyota Prius sedan, which is specially designed to counter environmental costs. In fact, the car's target was the U.S. market (Wilson, 1999).
Target profile
The target profile will focus more on the 'executive quality' segment, which has been Toyota's most current target, due to high competition levels from incumbent organizations. Toyota has used consumer research to determine the most appealing designs for executives and what advertising messages would be appealing to the users. For instance, the target for Toyota scion, a differentiated brand, was the youth between twenty and thirty, who were ready to spend money as long as the car was stylish and distinctive from the other brands. The scion possesses the elements of self-image and just like the Lexus; it is specially designed for the executive's qualities (Maclnnis & Hoyer, 2008).
As its competitors dismissed any possibility of a good performing, high mileage and environmental friendly motor car, Toyota manufactured the Prius and decided its market target. The car which had integrated a hybrid technological design, sold out well. The Toyota quality has ensured the executive qualities are addressed, and as other organizations broke even, Toyota was making huge profits and expanding its opportunities elsewhere (Spear, 2009). The label, 'Executive Qualities' is a summation of the characteristics which involve self-image and stylish traits.
Toyota's Positioning Strategies
Toyota's success is traditionally focused on the positioning of the "reliable, quality cars at competing prices" (Nijssen & Franbach, 2001). The corporation had a strategy to penetrate the luxurious segment, and they did this through the use of differentiation of their brand, to the executive Lexus brand. This car was intended to compete with the other companies that manufactured cars of the executives like BMW. The Lexus was to serve the executives well due to its stylish designs and comfort ability. The company ensured it provided a car that would change the landscape of its markets, with its ability to provide its users exactly what they want, quality.
The perceptual map
According to the simple illustration, the map evidently shows that the differently branded Lexus, from Toyota, is probably appreciated as not only luxurious, but also of desired and high quality. The car is used mostly by the executive segment consumers, who prioritize quality, regardless of the prices.
The appropriate positioning statement, according to the company's segmentation and objective, is that to ensure delivering quality vehicles, according to the segmentation requirements at competitive prices'.
Appropriate Marketing Mix
Unlike the product marketing mix, which takes care of only the 4 P's of product, pricing, placement and promotions, Toyota Motor Corporation adopted the 7 P's marketing mix, because it is also a service rendering organization. The other P's include the people, the physical evidences and the process. An analysis is provided below, to help demonstrate and link the mixes to the organization's goals.
In the service marketing mix, the product is a service, hence intangible. Toyota's case is different, factoring in that its product is cars but also provides services to its customers and clientele. The Toyota's products are designed with great care and capability, to enforce the quality perception by users. When the product is attractive to the users, regardless of their segmentations, the company earns credit through big sales, which is one of the organizations objectives, profitability.
Strategizing the best location for business is important for any business organization, including Toyota. For Toyota,…[continue]
