Raleigh, NC, USA -- A new company is looking to make a unique and funny collectible a hot selling item during the 2016 election season. With no shortage of humor targeting the two major political parties as the elections approach, PIC Dolls has announced the availability of plush dolls that are far from politically correct.

PIC Dolls, which stands for Politically Incorrect Dolls, has launched its first two dolls just in time for the Republican and Democratic National Conventions. The 10-inch plush dolls are dressed like Uncle Sam in red, white and blue and each make jokes about the opposing political party; Phil A. Buster, is a wise-cracking elephant makes jokes about the Democrats, while Ralph A. Rendum is a clever donkey that takes shots at Republicans. Phil A. Buster and Ralph A. Rendum will also be active on Facebook and other social media leading up to the November elections.

Limited production of the dolls makes them great collectible items or the perfect gift. For more information or to purchase the dolls, go to http://www.PICdolls.com.

New Book Release - Dogs Are People Too: The Practical Guide to Understanding and Training Your Dog, by Mary Jean Alsina

Dogs Are People Too: The Practical Guide to Understanding and Training Your Dog (because you're more alike than you think!), by Mary Jean Alsina, will get you and your dog wagging tails in agreement!

Newark, NJ, USA -- Mary Jean Alsina's Dogs Are People Too: The Practical Guide to Understanding and Training Your Dog (because you're more alike than you think!) is a comprehensive guide for novice to experienced owners on how to best understand and interact with their dogs for utmost success.

5 Star Reviews have been blanketing Alsina's new title!

Mary Jean Alsina neatly draws on a variety of sources to outline how dog guardians can learn to better communicate with their dogs, read their emotions and understand what they are trying to say. - Susan Nilson

I'd always suspected that my dogs were the better versions of me and now this book proves it. This is the bridge that helps you to relate to your dog as you would to your child, your friend, your partner. It applies what you know already to the language of dogs and you will find yourself nodding absently and consistently in agreement as you flip the pages. Don't think of this as a dog training manual. Rather, it is a guide for understanding dogs. - Zarina Mak

The book itself is easy and pleasant to read (did it in one day). It's full of a great deal of information on studies with simple and easy to understand information identifying the similarities between, human behavior, children and our canine companions. The title totally says it all "Dogs are People Too", if you're thinking Mary Jean means it literally, your half right and half wrong. But when you do read it I can guarantee you will have an ah-ha moment. This isn't a step by step do this, say that; rather it's teach a man to fish type book. She supplies the tools and thought process with examples of how to apply the thought process. Think about it do you learn better when your happy and supported by those around you or when someone is standing there watching every move you make just waiting for an opportunity to shout? ~ Verified Amazon Reviewer

Author Mary Jean Alsina, CPDT-KA, PCT-A, M.A., is a certified professional science-based dog trainer and behavior consultant with over 10 years' experience. During this time, she has worked with hundreds and hundreds of dogs exhibiting issues ranging from typical puppy behavior to severe fear and aggression as adults.

Alsina is the Founder, Owner, and Head Trainer for The Canine Cure, LLC, a New Jersey- and New York City-based dog training business. She lives in northern New Jersey with her husband Izzy, son Jason, rescue dog Sierra, and many of Sierra's canine friends that come to stay on vacation when their parents travel.

Keywords - Dogs, Dog Training, Dog Behavior, Dog Safety, Maslow's Hierarchy Of Needs, Positive Reinforcement

SAP Business One Project Rollout to China

As one of the biggest SAP gold partners in China, MTC can help global SAP Business One partners sub-contract and implement their project in China.

Newark, DE, USA -- China is an attractive market for many foreign companies seeking to expand their distribution network and there are many reasons to pursue opportunities in this country.

Ensuring compliance with local regulatory and tax legislation
Optimizing the roll out strategy and roll out management

New Memoir 'Riches, Loss and Redemption: One Woman's Journey' Offers a Powerful Message About Inner Fulfillment and Profound Love

In her sequel to 'Martha Ruth, Preacher's Daughter' Marti Eicholz shares her ongoing journey and unrelenting search for self-acceptance and within her own heart and soul.

San Diego, CA, USA -- Marti Eicholz's second memoir, 'Riches, Loss and Redemption: One Woman's Journey,' is a compelling, stand-alone sequel that combines subtle poignancy with stark, difficult truths and a sense of self-awareness that is brutally honest as she reveals the details of her life after finding love and moving to California from her home state of Indiana.

Once settled on the west coast, Eicholz and her new husband begin their life together. Eicholz finds herself navigating unfamiliar territory but slowly acclimates to what on the surface appears to be a charmed life. She immerses herself in her upscale community in the San Francisco Bay Area, organizes and hosts posh parties and high-society events, and mingles with celebrities and entertainers. Eicholz and her husband acquire several homes, travel the world, join the country club, donate to charities and enjoy a luxurious lifestyle. But even as she savors her first-class experiences, Eicholz is always aware that she has become disconnected from her purpose, and that she may have lost her way amid the excitement of living life large.

The eventual and unexpected loss of all of their assets becomes a turning point in Eicholz's life, a turning point that perhaps she was always moving towards. "Each experience and stage of my life was a unique gift," explains Eicholz. "I learned that my responsibility was to value each one of these gifts and to protect them from attempts to suppress their contribution."

Motivated by the necessity to examine her own experiences and to help others on their journey, Eicholz provides a valuable narrative (in the same strong, pure voice as her previous memoir) about the powerful and transformative process of introspection. Her book is filled with joy, sorrow, success, self-doubt, love, fear, compassion and a deep and palpable gratitude for the preciousness of her life and the steadfast love between her and her husband.

"Every step of my lifetime journey was equally significant and necessary for my growth towards healthy living," says Eicholz. "By sharing my story, others may be given insights that would give clarity to their own journey."

'Riches, Loss and Redemption: One Woman's Journey' is published in ebook format by eBookIt.com and is now available at popular online retailers including Amazon.com, Barnesandnoble.com, and Apple's iBookstore.

Marti Eicholz is available for interviews.

FED Publishing Releases New Book, "The Berghof Betrayal, a Winston Churchill 1930s Thriller" by Michael McMenamin & Patrick McMenamin

The Berghof Betrayal, a Winston Churchill 1930s Thriller, by Michael McMenamin & Patrick McMenamin, continues their award-winning Winston Churchill Thriller series with a new action packed story of conspiracy and intrigue involving a fake Nazi plot to assassinate Hitler.

Cleveland, OH, USA -- Michael McMenamin & Patrick McMenamin's The Berghof Betrayal, a Winston Churchill 1930s Thriller was inspired by an actual diary entry of German diplomat and publisher Count Harry Kessler in early 1933, shortly after Hitler took power:

"Weiland Herzfelde has absolutely reliable information that the Nazis plan a fake attempt on Hitler's life which is to be the signal for a general massacre. The sources of his information are the SA in Dortmund and a tapped telephone conversation between Hitler and Röhm."

This fake assassination attempt will allow the Nazis to declare martial law and liquidate their political opponents. Unknown to Hitler, however, his enemies within the Nazi party-the Black Front-are conspiring with renegade elements of his own SS to turn the fake assassination attempt into a real one.

Churchill learns of the fake plot and persuades Mattie McGary, William Randolph Hearst's top photojournalist and Churchill's adventure-seeking Scottish god-daughter, to investigate. McGary meets up in Germany with her fiancé, American lawyer and former MID agent Bourke Cockran, Jr., who is trying to acquire the rights to Rear Area Pig, a book exposing Hitler's less-than-heroic wartime service. Mattie and Cockran attempt to stay one step ahead of the SS loyal to Hitler who will stop at nothing to keep Cockran from acquiring the book and Mattie from learning the truth about the fake plot.

Michael and Patrick are the co-authors of the award-winning 1930s era "Winston Churchill Thriller" series. The first three books in the series-The DeValera Deception ,The Parsifal Pursuit and The Gemini Agenda-all were named Grand Prize Winners for Fiction by the Next Generation Indie Book Awards and Book of the Year for Thriller/Suspense and Historical Fiction by ForeWord Reviews.

Keywords - Churchill, Hitler, Göring, Roosevelt, Plot, Assassination, Nazi, Conspiracy, Zeppelin, Autogiro

The ebook version of The Berghof Betrayal, a Winston Churchill 1930s Thriller ISBN 9781506901619, published by First Edition Design Publishing (http://www.firsteditiondesignpublishing.com), is available on-line wherever ebooks are sold. The 440 page print book version, ISBN 9781506901596 and hardcopy ISBN 9781506901602, is published by First Edition Design Publishing and distributed worldwide to online booksellers.

The deadline to apply to this art competition is July 27, 2016.

Winners of the "Nature" Art Exhibition will receive extensive worldwide publicity in the form of email marketing, 70+ press release announcements, event announcement posts and social media marketing. The gallery's goal is to make the art world aware of the exhibition and in particular, the winning artists' accomplishments. Links back to each artist's website is included as part of this award package.

Artists will also receive a digital Award Certificate, Event Postcard, Press Releases and "Leveraging Your Success" marketing materials if they place in this exhibition.

Interested artists should provide their best "Nature" art now or before the deadline. For further information: https://www.lightspacetime.com/call-for-art-2016-nature-online-art-competition.
