U.S. News 360 Reviews Survey Reveals Americans Have Adjusted Spending Due to Inflation, Are Worried About Inflation's Impact on Holiday Season Ahead

WASHINGTON, Aug. 23: A new national survey from U.S. News & World Report's 360 Reviews finds four in five Americans (81%) have adjusted their spending due to inflation, and 84% indicate they worry about the impact of inflation on this year's holiday shopping season. To better understand the impact of inflation on consumer money-saving and purchasing habits, U.S. News used a third-party survey platform to poll 2,000 U.S. adults. It asked U.S. respondents about their coupon habits, 2022 holiday shopping plans, and more. Survey responses were weighted in order to be representative of the U.S. population. "Our latest survey makes it clear Americans are flocking to digital coupons and similar digital money-saving tools because of inflation's impact to their wallets," said Alexandra Kelly, senior editor, 360 Deals. Kelly adds, "And they seem to be helping. In fact, an overwhelming 91% of U.S. consumers who use coupon sites, apps, and/or browser extensions report having saved money because of these digital resources — and half of Americans (51%) say they definitely plan to use digital coupons and similar online money-saving tools to help with their holiday shopping this year." Additional survey highlights include: More than half of Americans (58%) look for coupons at least once a week. Three in four Americans (76%) have searched for digital coupons while grocery shopping. American consumers most prefer online shopping on Black Friday, followed by Amazon Prime Day, which trumped Cyber Monday. Half of Americans (51%) follow couponing blogs and social media accounts.

THE DINAH ANNOUNCES MASSIVE ALL-STAR ALL-FEMALE ENTERTAINMENT LINE-UP FOR 2022

LOS ANGELES, CA, US, August 6: The Dinah is returning to Palm Springs this Fall 2022 to celebrate its 31st Anniversary as the largest and biggest annual festival for queer women September 21 through the 25th. Pulling all the stops, the legendary event has moved to one of Palm Springs’ most iconic Hotels, The Margaritaville (formerly The Riviera), famous in the 60’s for its role as celebrity central, drawing the likes of Elvis Presley, Frank Sinatra, Lucille Ball, Marilyn Monroe, Elizabeth Taylor, Sammy Davis Jr. and Sonny and Cher. The Dinah is continuing the legend with a show-stopping all-female entertainment line-up. Headlining acts include Fletcher, Haviah Mighty, Cassidy King, IV4, Zolita, Siena Liggins and 80s music iconic superstar, Taylor Dayne, offering a palette of incredibly talented female pop singers, rising artists as well as new queer talent all poised to make a major impact in 2022 and beyond. Taking center stage Saturday night is one of the most electrifying queer artists to burst onto the scene, FLETCHER. Her critically acclaimed debut EP you ruined new york city for me, featured her breakthrough hit “Undrunk,” a track that scored the #1 spot on Spotify’s Viral Chart and emerged as the fastest-rising song at pop radio from a new artist in the past five years. Released in September 2020, FLETCHER’s EP THE S(EX) TAPES hit No. 1 on iTunes across all genres drew praise from outlets like Teen Vogue, SPIN, PAPER, GQ, and more, with the EP’s gold-certified lead single “Bitter” fast approaching 200 million global streams. FLETCHER continued her triumphant run with recent singles “girls girls girls” — a bold reimagining of Katy Perry’s iconic “I Kissed a Girl” (released with Perry’s early stamp of approval) — and “Cherry” featuring trailblazing pop star Hayley Kiyoko. Her new single “Her Body Is Bible” is out now and FLETCHER will release her debut album Girl Of My Dreams on September 16th on Capitol Records. She was also nominated for a GLAAD Media Award for Outstanding Breakthrough Music Artist and landed on Forbes’ 30 Under 30 list for 2022. FLETCHER’s music has amassed over one billion streams worldwide. Headlining Friday night is 80s pop icon Taylor Dayne who is exclusively bringing her full band to put on a rare and unique show for Dinah goers. The groundbreaking debut single "Tell It to My Heart" turned her into an overnight star in 1987. She followed the smash hit with 17 Top 20 singles including Number Ones “Love Will Lead You Back” “Prove Your Love” and “I’ll always Love You.” Taylor has sold over 75 million albums and singles worldwide, earned three GRAMMY nominations, an American Music Award, multiple New York Music Awards, received New York Music Hall of Fame honors and ranked as the Number 18 Female Dance artist of all time by Rolling Stone magazine. Poised to follow the footsteps of Lady Gaga, Bebe Rexha, Iggy Azalea and Lizzo (to name a few) is Haviah Mighty who co-headlines Friday night’s Black and White Ball. The burgeoning artist earned break-out success with her album, 13th Floor, making her the first hip-hop artist and the first Black woman to win the Polaris Music Prize, celebrating the “Best Canadian Album of the Year”. She just grabbed a 2022 Juno award and is now on her way to take the US by storm. Of course, it wouldn’t be The Dinah without the always next level epic Pool Parties. The weekend pool parties will be highlighted with exclusive live performances by four exciting emerging queer artists Zolita, IV4, Cassidy King, and Siena Liggins who are making themselves visible members of the LGBTQ community that younger people can look up to. Queer pop sensation Zolita is known for pairing her multi-dimensional songwriting with beautiful, self-directed music videos, earning her multiple viral successes that include singles “Explosion,” “Holy” and last September’s hit “Somebody I F*cked Once.” The first in a trilogy of songs, “Somebody I F*cked Once” was followed by the 2022 pop bangers “Single in September” and “I F*cking Love You.” Now, with more than 90 million views across her videos and a recent performance on the main stage of LA Pride, Zolita has become a powerful voice in the LGBTQ+ community, sharing stories that showcase joyful queer love with themes that span generations. IV4 was discovered in 2018 after posting her first song, "Because of Me," produced by Smash David and SkipOnDaBeat, on social media and earning tens of thousands of views. Get Rich & Cry Trying is IV4's latest project since signing to Warner Records. The St. Louis-born, Los Angeles-based singer/songwriter previously released the hit singles "Work 2 Hard," and "Swimming" featuring Trippie Redd. We certainly do not see her star fading anytime soon. Singer-songwriter Cassidy King has successfully built up her reputation as a solo artist with her singles “professional Smiler” and “Wasted”. In her latest EP, Concrete Walls, the Chardon, Ohio native continues to shape her passionately charged resonance delivering a moment of reckoning that only comes with deep self-reflection. Siena Liggins went from a behind-the-scenes songwriter to one of Billboard’s Top Ten new LGBTQ artists of the year. Ms. Out Tonight, the singer’s debut album serves as a seminar on representing queer sexuality in music. On sexed-up anthems like “Dirty Girl” feat. Yung Baby Tate, “No Valet,” “Girlfriend” and more, Liggins leaves no room for interpretation; she’s going to write songs about her authentic experience as a queer woman. “These are the galvanizing new queer voices to watch long after The Dinah is a wrap. They are part of a new generation of queer young artists who are laser-focused on changing the long-held stereotypes of this industry” says Mariah Hanson. “I’m proud to have put together such incredible line up of marquee talent and community icons. We can't get enough of these exhilarating female artists, and neither will you!” www.Thedinah.com

Animal Wellness Action Applauds Rep. David McKinley for Backing Big Cat Public Safety Act to Protect West Virginians

MORGANTOWN, WEST VIRGINIA, UNITED STATES , August 5: With the support of the national law enforcement, animal welfare, and conservation and mainstream zoological communities, the U.S. House of Representatives overwhelmingly passed the Big Cat Public Safety Act, H.R. 263, on Friday by a vote of 278 to 134. H.R. 263 was introduced by Reps. Mike Quigley, D-Ill., and Brian Fitzpatrick, R-Pa. and was actively supported on the floor by Rep. David McKinley, R-W.W., who voted in support of the measure. “Chaos and cruelty result when people breed big cats for use as pets or for commercial petting operations,” said Wayne Pacelle, president of the Center for a Humane Economy. “It’s alarming that this problem has persisted for so long, and this is an important first step in establishing a national policy to stop the trade and breeding of endangered lions and tigers as pets in homes and props at roadside zoos.” “Breeders who pump out countless big cats for cub-petting are worse than puppy millers, placing unfunded mandates on animal rescues who have to clean up their mess and care for these majestic creatures once they’ve grown too big to exploit,” said Marty Irby, executive director at Animal Wellness Action. “We applaud Rep. McKinley for backing the Big Cat Public Safety Act that will help keep families in West Virginia safe from abused and dangerous big cats." The bill builds on the Captive Wildlife Safety Act, passed unanimously in 2003, that sought to ban the trade in big cats as pets. That original measure had a drafting flaw, and the Big Cat Public Safety Act seeks to correct that problem and to ban breeding big cats for the pet trade or for commercial cub petting. The bill had been introduced long before the salacious reality television series “Tiger King,” but that series put the issue of private ownership of tigers and lions on the American radar screen. NBC’s streaming platform, Peacock TV, also featured the bill in its series “Joe vs. Carole,” released in March. Law enforcement swung in force behind the bill. “I’ve experienced the worst-case scenario first-hand, and it is a gut-wrenching experience to think about tigers, lions, and other big cats on the prowl in such close proximity to our homes and our schools,” said Sheriff Matt Lutz from Zanesville, Ohio, whose office was forced to respond to a mass release of tigers, lions, and other animals in his community more than a decade ago. “Congress should step up and support those of us in law enforcement, who risk our lives every day, and pass the Big Cat Public Safety Act.” “It is an enormous expense to care for these animals, and this reckless behavior foists a massive long-term financial liability on animal sanctuaries,” said Carole Baskin, founder of Big Cat Rescue in Tampa, Florida. “None of these private big cat owners holds onto the animals for very long, and that means they get turned over to groups like Big Cat Rescue that have to take in these traumatized, often very unhealthy animals.” Down from nearly 60 cub-petting operations just 10 or 15 years ago, there are now maybe two or three commercial cub petting outfits in the United States. Nearly all cub-petters featured in “Tiger King” are incarcerated, have had their animals seized, or are facing prosecution. -Joe Exotic is serving 21 years in federal prison for 17 wildlife-related charges as well as murder for hire charges -Jeff Lowe, who took charge of Joe Exotic’s GW Zoo and intended to open a cub-petting operation in far eastern Oklahoma, had his operation raided by federal authorities, who brought civil charges against him. Lowe’s animals have been confiscated and placed at sanctuaries. -Tim Stark, another prominent Tiger King “star,” had his animals confiscated by the State of Indiana for multiple animal-related and nonprofit-operation violations. He fled the state after a criminal charge was filed and was arrested in New York. -Bhagavan “Doc” Antle was arrested on charges of money laundering. He’s also facing charges by the State of Virginia with 15 counts of wildlife trafficking and animal cruelty. The tigers and lions bred for the pet trade or roadside attractions never lead good lives. They typically live in substandard conditions, and in almost every case, their lives end tragically. We reduce these remarkable beasts to shadows of themselves in dilapidated roadside menageries or in backyards or basements. The people who acquire the animals on impulse or for profit almost always give them up because they cannot be safely managed by individuals without sufficient resources or professional staff. U.S. Rep. Bruce Westerman, R-Ark., led efforts to block the bill, denigrating the idea of even bringing the bill up for a vote but then suggesting that the Department of Agriculture should handle the problem. USDA is singularly ill-equipped to handle the trade in endangered lions and tigers. H.R. 263 is backed by the National Sheriffs’ Association, state sheriffs’ associations throughout the nation, the Fraternal Order of Police, the National Animal Care and Control Association, and countless other agencies and organizations. A Senate companion bill, S. 1210, has nearly 50 cosponsors. Animal Wellness Action (Action) is a Washington, D.C.-based 501(c)(4) organization with a mission of helping animals by promoting legal standards forbidding cruelty. We champion causes that alleviate the suffering of companion animals, farm animals, and wildlife. We advocate for policies to stop dogfighting and cockfighting and other forms of malicious cruelty and to confront factory farming and other systemic forms of animal exploitation. To prevent cruelty, we promote enacting good public policies and we work to enforce those policies. To enact good laws, we must elect good lawmakers, and that’s why we remind voters which candidates care about our issues and which ones don’t. We believe helping animals helps us all. The Center for a Humane Economy (“the Center”) is a non-profit organization that focuses on influencing the conduct of corporations to forge a humane economic order. The first organization of its kind in the animal protection movement, the Center encourages businesses to honor their social responsibilities in a culture where consumers, investors, and other key stakeholders abhor cruelty and the degradation of the environment and embrace innovation as a means of eliminating both.

Tidewater Golf Club Named South Carolina’s Golf Course Of The Year

CHERRY GROVE, SC, US, August 5: Tidewater Golf Club, one of Myrtle Beach’s most acclaimed designs, has been named Golf Course of the Year by the South Carolina Golf Course Owners Association. The SCGCOA evaluated Golf Course of the Year nominees on four criteria: exceptional quality of the golf course, exceptional quality of the ownership and management, outstanding contribution to the community, and significant contribution to the game. The Palmetto State is home to more than 350 courses and golf generates approximately $3 billion in economic impact, highlighting the game’s importance throughout the state. Tidewater became eligible to win state honors after being recently named the Myrtle Beach Area Golf Course Owners Association Course of the Year. “It’s incredibly exciting and humbling to be named South Carolina’s Golf Course of the Year,” Tidewater General Manager Chris Cooper said. “There are so many great courses throughout the state and being honored by the Golf Course Owners Association - the people who have their finger on the pulse of the industry - makes the award even more significant. At Tidewater, our goal is to provide every player with an experience that leaves them looking forward to their next trip to the course, and the award is validation of that effort. “This honor is also a testament to our owner, Mr. William Cassels, who provides us the resources to ensure Tidewater delivers on its promise, and our entire staff, all of whom work tirelessly to exceed the expectations of golfers.” By virtue of winning South Carolina Golf Course of the Year honors, Tidewater advances to compete for the National Golf Course Owners Association’s National Course of the Year award. The National Course of the Year award winner will be announced at the annual Golf Business Conference, which will be held Jan. 23-25, 2023 in Orlando, Fla. Tidewater has been ranked among the nation’s top 100 public courses and is consistently listed among South Carolina’s premier layouts. With nine holes that play along the Intracoastal Waterway or Cherry Grove Inlet, the course’s beauty is unforgettable. The four holes that play along Cherry Grove - Nos. 3, 4, 12 and 13 - are breathtaking, but the layout’s inland holes, a memorable collection of challenges that test every aspect of a player’s game, are essential to the experience as well. Tidewater’s scenery, combined with its commitment to customer service, course conditions and charity, helped propel it to the award. Another vital component of Tidewater’s success is the continuity of its staff. The course employs 37 people, 20 of whom have worked there for at least seven years. For more information or to book a tee time, visit the course’s new-look website at TidewaterGolf.com.

Cabela Family Foundation Announces New TV Series 'Hard Truths of Conservation,' Hosted by Dan Cabela, Premiering 8/20

ST. JOHN'S, NEWFOUNDLAND (NL), CANADA, August 5: The Cabela Family Foundation announces an exciting new series, “Hard Truths of Conservation,” to explore the role that sustainable wildlife use, including hunting, can play in a modern conservation landscape. Hosted by wildlife conservationist and advocate, Dan Cabela, son of Dick and Mary Cabela, who founded the world-famous Cabela’s Outfitters, the ten-episode series will air on The HISTORY Channel’s OUTDOORS block at 9am ET and premieres on Saturday, August 20th. Insightful, objective, and visually stunning, “Hard Truths of Conservation” will expose the current realities of wildlife conservation, as well as the benefits of treating wildlife resources as both valuable and renewable. The conservation of natural ecosystems has never been more crucial with both biodiversity loss and the human population increasing more rapidly than ever before. Often unknowingly, our survival is dependent on the continued functioning of these systems. But what does conservation in a modern world require? Dan Cabela sets out on a journey across the globe to expose the “Hard Truths of Conservation” with a host of experts in vastly different contexts and to illuminate the controversial notion that sustainable use can play a vital role in preserving habitat for wildlife while sustaining human communities. This series will cover a wide range of interest – from how sustainable use manages healthy wildlife populations, provides employment, and prevents wildlife crime to the role that wildlife has played in the human diet. Each episode focuses on a single species and follows Dan as he participates in hands-on conservation initiatives, engaging with community members, wildlife managers, field technicians, scientists – and wild animals, themselves – to provide an in-depth and objective look at sustainable use on the ground. About The Cabela Family Foundation Dick and Mary Cabela were blessed with a deep love for the outdoors and a deeper faith that gave their many outdoor adventures special meaning. They created the Cabela Family Foundation to ensure such blessings will be enjoyed for many generations. The Foundation’s mission is to build and create partnerships and projects that promote outdoor recreation, conservation, and charity toward others. The Cabela Family Foundation supports projects and organizations throughout the world, including the Boy Scouts of America; Twenty Four Lions, a conservation effort to re-establish the lion population in Mozambique; and the Wild Harvest Initiative®

Photographer Creates Unique Photos of Circus Performers

QUEENSBURY, NY, USA, August 5: New York tintype artist photographer Craig Murphy recently completed a series of collodion photographs of the traveling Zerbini Family Circus performers. The wet plate photographer set up his Glens Falls Art traveling tintype studio alongside the circus tent in upstate NY. These modern-day collodion images of circus performers are not unlike the Victorian portraits of strong men, sword swallowers and tightrope walkers made In the 19th century. “These images offer an opportunity for the viewer to step back in time and imagine what photographs of the circus would have looked like in the 1860’s”, says Craig Murphy. Invented by English photographer Frederick Scott Archer in 1851, wet plate collodion photography is the process of pouring collodion onto a plate of thin metal or glass, sensitizing in a silver nitrate solution, exposing in the camera, then developing the plate while it’s still wet. Most photographs made between 1850 until the early 1880's were made with the "wet plate" process. There is currently a resurgence of this photographic method. People are amazed to learn about the history and science of these priceless family keepsakes during their portrait session. About Craig Murphy Fine art photographer Craig Murphy creates one-of-a-kind photos using the wet plate collodion process. Craig travels with his Glens Falls Art ® mobile tintype studio to locations in upstate NY making heirloom portraits and scenic views using this historic photographic method, bringing you the same 19th Century wet plate collodion photographic experience your ancestors had. Steeped in tradition, these unique archival images can be passed on from generation to generation. Have your portrait made with the same process used during the Civil War. Arrange a tintype art talk for your group, school or organization. Being extremely archival, tintypes can be passed down from one generation to the next and beyond.

The Quito Metro, a new way to tour the city in a sustainable way

QUITO, ECUADOR, August 5: With a route of 22 kilometers at a speed of 38 km/h, the new transport network will connect Quitumbe with El Labrador, through 15 stations, in record time. The capacity will be 1,230 passengers, distributed among the six cars for each train, with a length of 109 meters. In this way, Quito joins the set of capitals that are committed to sustainable mobility and reaffirms itself as a city committed to the environment and the quality of life of its inhabitants and tourists. From the tourist point of view, the Quito Metro offers a much faster, cheaper, and more efficient mobility to be able to move between the different attractions of the city. In fact, the stations will be strategically located between traditional areas of the city and tourist areas such as La Carolina parks, in the modern area of the city; El Ejido, located around the centenary La Mariscal neighborhood; and La Alameda that marks the beginning of the patrimonial Historical Center; the emblematic San Francisco church; and Quitumbe, the gate to the city. On the other hand, the positioning of Quito as a MICE destination will also benefit as the El Labrador station is located next to the Quito Metropolitan Convention Center, facilitating access to participants in congresses, conventions, fairs and exhibitions. About Quito Tourism Board Quito Tourism Board is the institution that facilitates and manages the development and promotion of tourism and the meeting industry of the Metropolitan District of Quito, in partnership with the tourism system and other productive sectors, for the benefit of local, national, and foreign visitors. The capital of Ecuador is the closest to the sun and the only place where it is possible to set foot in the northern hemisphere and another in the southern hemisphere. In Quito converge the pre-Hispanic, the colonial, the traditional and the modern. Its historic center was the First Cultural Heritage of Humanity. Besides to being the cultural and artistic center of the country, it offers exceptional gastronomy and is the gateway to the four worlds of Ecuador: Galapagos, Pacific Coast, Andes, and the Amazon.
