SHINGLETON, Mich. – November 16, 2022 – (Newswire.com)

Fulton Books author Laurie Johnson, a proud mother and grandmother who uses writing to relax and put her thoughts into perspective, has completed her most recent book “Reflections”: a powerful and stunning poetic journey that explores the opportunities life holds for those with courage enough to live each day to the fullest and enjoy every possible moment.

“Grab a cup of coffee or a glass of iced tea and take a walk with me through this book of reflections in which you will find the beauty of love, life, and yes, some heartbreak and tears,” writes Johnson. “Share the dreams and memories with me from day to day. Some memories and thoughts or just fantasy feel the sweetness and promise of a new day dawning. Life is so full of diversity and change, some good days and some bad, and most of which we have no control of.

“As you read some pages, you can almost hear the laughter and joy; others you may feel the heartbreak and tears. As in our life, we must search and find those precious moments or look back to those memories. Sometimes we find the joy in the searching rather than in the finding. There will be pages you connect with, and others will make you wonder. We all have that need to reach out and just know that we have been there. There is a healing in the written words to those whose hearts they speak to. So, as you thumb through these reflections of my life and thoughts, I hope that you feel the strength and courage that it takes to just live life. Sit back and feel the warmth of the sun or the freshness of the morning dew. Life is so worth living to the fullest of our ability. I hope this brings to mind all the memories and treasures hidden away and forgotten.”

Published by Fulton Books, Laurie Johnson’s book is a moving and impactful series that encourages personal growth and healing as one moves from day to day, seeking out life’s greatest joys in every minute of the day. With an incredible gift for prose, Johnson crafts a fascinating read that is sure to connect with those who take the first few steps with her on this enlightening journey.

Readers who wish to experience this irreverent work can purchase “Reflections” at bookstores everywhere, or online at the Apple iTunes store, Amazon, Google Play, or Barnes and Noble.

Walt Prothero’s New Book ‘The Fair Chase Chronicles’ is a Thrilling Collection of Stories That Explore How Hunting Must Change in the Modern Age if It is to Survive

Walt Prothero’s New Book ‘The Fair Chase Chronicles’ is a Thrilling Collection of Stories That Explore How Hunting Must Change in the Modern Age if It is to Survive

OGDEN, Utah – November 16, 2022 – (Newswire.com)

Fulton Books author Walt Prothero, who teaches university writing and biology and has worked as a wildlife research biologist and served as editors at Field & Stream, Outdoor Life, Sports Afield and Wild Sheep magazines, has completed his most recent book “The Fair Chase Chronicles”: a thought-provoking read that examines the state of hunting and the obstacles that must be overcome if the sport of hunting is to remain relevant and alive in a modern world.

“The first part of this book deals with ethics and philosophy of modern hunting, and what hunters must do today to keep hunting alive tomorrow, including fair-chase hunting. The first part of the book is also liberally sprinkled with hunting anecdotes, the oldest form of human communication,” writes Prothero.

“The second portion of the book consists of hunting stories, all with a common theme—fair-chase hunting. If hunting is to survive into the 21st century, it must evolve as humans have evolved. Of course, the reader may read a story simply for the enjoyment. [I have] graced the masthead of Field & Stream, Outdoor Life, Sports Afield and Wild Sheep magazines and readers of such magazines are seldom interested in ethics or philosophy.

“The short narratives in this tome are as taut and adrenaline-pumping as any novel, and few readers will yawn at stalking man-eating crocodiles; at charging grizzlies and elephants; of solo expeditions into the Far-North wilderness; of chasing polar bears by dogsled on the Arctic Ocean icepack.”

Published by Fulton Books, Walt Prothero’s book will captivate audiences everywhere as they follow along on various hunting expeditions, facing off against dangerous game in the pursuit of the hunt. Ultimately, Prothero provides an eye-opening analysis of hunting, and how it can continue to thrive and serve communities throughout the world.

Readers who wish to experience this enlightening work can purchase “The Fair Chase Chronicles” at bookstores everywhere, or online at the Apple iTunes Store, Amazon, Google Play, or Barnes & Noble.

Fragrance Creators Showcases 2022 Impacts Delivered for Business and Consumers During Its First In-Person Annual Meeting in Two YearsThe meeting theme ‘Foresight’ symbolized the association’s unique predictive capabilities, empowering its members with marketplace and public policy insights, and driving a myriad of critical achievements

WASHINGTON – November 15, 2022 – (Newswire.com)

The Fragrance Creators Association (Fragrance Creators) celebrated a myriad of results the organization has delivered for business and consumers during its 2022 Annual Meeting held today in Morristown, New Jersey. Association leaders confirmed the efficacy of Fragrance Creators’ 2016 strategic overhaul, which centered around strengthening and modernizing its regulatory science capacity while building trust and appreciation for fragrance and the well-being benefits it delivers to billions of consumers every day. The association’s monitoring, analysis and custom templates and trackers are essential to providing members with the insights and tools they need to stay ahead of the curve. This Foresight is crucial in Fragrance Creators’ ability to be the proven leader representing fragrance manufacturers and others along the value chain.  

Top 2022 achievements include: 

  • Providing members access to key governmental officials at the White House, the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Environmental Protection Agency, the Food and Drug Administration, and Congress; 
  • Leading and successfully influencing critical fragrance-related legislative issues, including ensuring proposals are based on sound science and protect industry competition and innovation; 
  • Encouraging stewardship principles throughout the industry that advance responsible industry growth; and 
  • Providing members with unique and meaningful predictive intelligence and custom compliance support tools. 

Work on these priorities will continue in 2023. During the public session of the meeting, former Senator Byron Dorgan and Dan Renberg of ArentFox Schiff LLP recapped the 2022 U.S. midterm elections and provided insights into the 2023 political landscape, including the impact on key Fragrance Creators’ priorities, such as cosmetics modernization and trade policy.

In addition, attendees were updated on the European Union’s Chemicals Strategy for Sustainability (CSS) and the essentiality of fragrance. Technical experts from the International Fragrance Association (IFRA), Procter & Gamble, and Estee Lauder provided attendees with background and a status update on the profoundly impactful CSS proposal. 

During another session, executives from Arylessence, Procter & Gamble and the Estee Lauder Companies explored why humans have consistently relied on scents, and what makes fragrance an essential part of everyday life. They highlighted Fragrance Creators’ recent study in this area and future plans to continue the work in this important area to educate consumers. 

Fragrance Creators was pleased to announce its 2023 leadership – with Cynthia Reichard, Executive Vice President of Arylessence, and Dr. Robert Weinstein, CEO of Robertet USA, continuing to co-chair the organization. During the meeting, Fragrance Creators members voted to confirm the 2023 Board of Directors Slate and welcomed Kevin Whelan from Johnson & Johnson Consumer Inc., Ken McAlister from The Lebermuth Company, Inc., and Jacqueline Liou from LVMH as the newest additions to the Board. 

Reichard noted, “Representing industry at-large is a profound responsibility, one that I know our membership will honor by supporting science-based regulation and smart policies that empower all good companies to thrive and deliver more for people, perfume, and the planet.” 

“Leadership matters, and it is an honor to serve as the chair of a values-driven organization—values that harness the power of foresight and that will continue to prevail as we work toward a better future,” said Weinstein.  

“This is the most important time in history for many trade associations, including ours. I am privileged to work with a leadership so committed to Fragrance Creators remaining a powerful forum for corporate leaders—responsible fragrance industry stewards—to forge innovative solutions made possible by working collectively in a pre-market environment,” said Farah K. Ahmed, president & CEO, Fragrance Creators. “I look forward to working with our entire membership, putting science and industry stewardship first, to meet our future opportunities and challenges.”
