Legendary Soul Musician and Author Charles Wright Releases New Single “She Don’t Believe in Love”

“She Don’t Believe in Love” marks the first single from Charles’ forthcoming full-length album ‘Something to Make You Feel Good,’ available April 15.

Los Angeles, CA, April 08, 2016 - Charles Wright, soul music legend, author, and founding member of the Watts 103rd Street Rhythm Band has released a new single, “She Don’t Believe in Love” from his forthcoming solo album, Something to Make You Feel Good. The single’s accompanying music video will be released soon via Charles Wright’s official YouTube channel. This single from the writer of the 70’s hit “Express Yourself” features a funky blend of classic and contemporary sounds that will excite new old and new fans.

Set to release on April 15th, Charles Wright’s newest effort, Something to Make You Feel Good is one of the year’s most anticipated soul/funk/R&B albums. The 13 tracks showcase Charles’ legendary songwriting as well as his understated guitar lines and vocals. The lead single “She Don’t Believe in Love” is storytelling of a relationship and their attempts to reconcile their love. Wright conveys the pain of this situation not only through percussive guitars but also through his expressive vocals, which shine in a way that belies Wright’s fifty-year career in the music industry. The album will be released on Charles’ own label, A Million $ Worth Of Memories Records.

With the release of his first autobiography in a planned series of memoirs earlier this year, Charles Wright has become a critically acclaimed author. The book, entitled “Up From Where We’ve Come” tells the story of Wright’s upbringing in rural Mississippi in the 1940’s and early 1950’s. Howard Dukes of Soul Tracks raves that even though the book’s focus is removed from Wright’s music, “the story that he has to tell sings in its own way.”

You can find the book on Amazon or at ExpressYourself.net

About Charles Wright:
Best known as the leader of `70s soul group The Watts 103rd Street Rhythm Band and the composer of the enduring R&B smash “Express Yourself,” Charles Wright has evolved into a tireless watchdog of African American history. In the 1960’s and 70’s Charles Wright recorded five LPs with The Watts 103rd Street Rhythm Band and one solo LP for Warner Bros. (Poetry & Rhythm – 1972) followed by three for ABC-Dunhill. In the `90s, Wright started his own label, A Million Dollars’ Worth of Memories Records, which has released 10 albums of Charles’ music. In addition, Charles possesses a wealth of knowledge, experience and anecdotes – humorous to profound – that make him a compelling personality for interviews, panels and multi-media platforms.

Amazon Glacier vs Google Nearline: Which top Cloud Storage is right for you?

In today’s era of digital information, businesses deal with overwhelming, massive amounts of data, making data backup essential.

San Jose, CA, April 01, 2016 - In today’s era of digital information, businesses deal with overwhelming, massive amounts of data, making data backup essential. There are options to backup on a tape drive, an external hardware or backup servers, however this has drawbacks such as loss/theft, damage, and unwanted takeup of physical storage space. 

For those that prefer skipping the physical limitations and drawbacks, cloud cold storage backup services are the new trend and two top cloud backup solutions are rising above others: Amazon Glacier and Google Nearline.

Amazon Glacier
Glacier is a leading cold storage solution that provides data archiving and backup with affordable pricing as low as $0.007 and up to only $0.01 (per gigabyte). Glacier will download your backed-up data faster than Google Nearline. Amazon provides a cost simulator based on data size. Although Amazon’s Glacier data download time is quicker, the retrieval of data would take longer than if you were to use Google’s Nearline cold cloud storage.

Google Nearline
Google released Nearline in 2015, and boasts retrieval response time within seconds. In comparison, Glacier backs up the data off-line, therefore taking hours to respond to retrieval requests. Nearline stores the data on the server, allowing quicker responses, but actual downloading of data may take more time than Amazon’s Glacier. Google also provides a similar cost simulator.

Google further makes differentiators with machine learning based AI tools that clients can implement to analyze backed up data.

Glacier vs. Nearline: Specifications

	Amazon Glacier	Google Nearline
Retrieval limit	Unlimited	Unlimited
Retrieval response time	3- 5 hours	3 seconds
Cost of storage	$0.007 ~ 0.01/GB	$0.01/GB
Retrieval cost	$0.01/GB	$0.01/GB

 
To help you choose the right service for your organization, we have compared the two cold cloud data storage solutions based on 1000 TB large back-ups. The following are the top 10 major points, including important factors like speed and cost.

* Base storage: 1000 TB (1PB)
* Monthly storage addition (Data transfer In): 40 TB
* Monthly retrieval (Data Transfer Out): 40 TB
* Early monthly data overwritten or deleted: 30 TB
* Monthly transfer out cost (basic regions)
* Retrieval speed
* Monthly base storage cost
* Monthly additional 40TB cost
* Monthly overwritten/deletion cost

The Humidor Announces Grand Opening of Relocated Cigar Shop and Smoking Lounge

Winston Churchill, Mark Twain, Babe Ruth, John F. Kennedy, Michael Jordan, Jack Nicholson, Bill Clinton, Bruce Willis. What do all these famous people have in common? The love of a great cigar.

Monterey, CA, March 31, 2016 — Winston Churchill, Mark Twain, Babe Ruth, John F. Kennedy, Michael Jordan, Jack Nicholson, Bill Clinton, Bruce Willis. What do all these famous people have in common? The love of a great cigar.

In fact, it was the great American writer and wit Mark Twain who quipped, “Eating and sleeping are the only activities that should be allowed to interrupt a man’s enjoyment of his cigar.”

With that in mind, The Humidor Fine Cigars is announcing the grand opening of its new store and smoking lounge Sunday, May 1, relocated to 765 Wave Street in Monterey, just above the renowned The Whaling Station restaurant.

The goal of The Humidor is to foster a community of people who can share the cigar experience in a unique and inviting lounge environment. A “cigar sanctuary,” if you will.

The Humidor was created to provide the cigar aficionado with discriminating tastes a place where they can come to enjoy the good life.

“Cigars are all about slowing things down and enjoying life to its fullest,” said David Wilcox, owner-operator of The Humidor. “To smoke a great cigar is to savor life and all its ups and downs, to relax and wind down, take your worries off your shoulders and just enjoy.”
The great cigar maker Zino Davidoff once said, “A wisely chosen cigar to me, is like a weapon against certain of life's torments, in some mysterious way, a little blue smoke chases them away.”

The Humidor focuses on the craft and artisanal aspects of cigars in a comfortable lounge environment. Listen to cool jazz, sit in your comfy leather chair and relax, far away from the grind of your workday. It's only a couple of blocks away from a Cannery Row, but a world away from your worries.

AtThe Humidor, you'll find:

• Numerous brands of premium cigars, including Padron, Fuente, Opus X, Tatuaje, Gurkha, Rocky Patel, Ashton, and many more, plus accessories from Dupont, Xikar, Lotus and Prometheus.

• A vast assortment of cigars available in strictly monitored walk-in humidors. It also carries pipes, specialty tobaccos and other smoking accessories.

• A state-of-the-art ventilation system, comfortable leather chairs and big screen high-definition televisions — two in a private lounge, one in the public lounge — create an experience like no other.

• The Peninsula Club will have one main smoking lounge, a game room, an eight-person dining table or conference table. Reserve a room to host your board meeting in a cigar-friendly environment! Or reserve it for a private dinner party with food from The Whaling Station or Sardine Factory restaurants.

• A business center with computers and a copier/fax/printer.

• A media room with a big screen, hi-def TV to screen movies, this room will also serve as a quiet room, or smaller private lounge if groups want to break off from the main lounge environment.

Become a member of The Humidor's The Peninsula Club and you can enjoy their VIP members-only lounge, a BYOB area where you can bring your favorite spirits, sit in comfortable leather chairs and enjoy sports or entertainment on big-screen high-def TVs.

Membership represents more than the opportunity of exclusive cigar prices, access to a cigar lounge and a personalized humidified cigar locker. It offers a unique opportunity to develop camaraderie within a special group of like-minded cigar lovers who refuse to accept the ordinary and mundane.

Standard full membership requires a one-time initiation fee of $2,000, then $150 a month dues.

Annual membership benefits include the following:
• Unrestricted member access to the luxury cigar lounge.
• 10% off individual cigar purchases and 15% off box purchases.
• Individual, personalized humidified lockers with your name (included, but optional)
• Invitations to special cigar events, including quarterly cigar round tables
• High-speed Wi-Fi access.
• Reserved VIP seating access (based on availability)
• Access to both the public and private lounges.
• Special order any brand of cigar and have it shipped to you or anywhere in the world.
