Nuestra Navidad on Univision Presented by Target Promo! - 14 December 2009

Nuestra Navidad on Univision Presented by Target Promo!

=========================
From December 14, 2009
=========================
 
This is the promotional video received on Monday, December 14, 2009 with the subject, "Target presents Nuestra Navidad on Univsion: Dec 17 and Dec 25." This was part of the multicultural marketing by Target at the time with the TV special to be broadcast in Spanish at 9 p.m. CT Thursday, Dec. 17, on Univision. It would be rebroadcasted at 10 a.m. CT on Christmas Day. 

The program featured a visit to the White House for an interview with President Obama and longtime Target partner Gloria Estefan.

Also showcased was P.S. 155 in East Harlem New York, where Target and local team members had recently renovated the library - donating thousands of books and creating an inspiring space for kids to learn, thrive and grow. The segment included interviews with Principal Lillian Ortiz, the school librarian and some very happy students, as well as holiday music performances by David Archuleta and Latin entertainer PeeWee.

The broadcast also included performances by various artists as well as a look at singer/songwriter Luis Fonsi's visit to Target House, a free home-away-from-home for families receiving long-term treatment at St. Jude Children's Hospital in Memphis, Tenn.

As the sole sponsor of the program, Target ran their Spanish-language holiday TV spots, as well as their Dream in Color spot celebrating Hispanic heritage that featured Principal Lillian Ortiz and Luis Fonsi, as well as actress Elizabeth Pena and racecar driver Juan Pablo Montoya of the Target Racing Team. 

This video may be a bit pixelated since I enlarged it to fit. Additionally, although I didn't record the program itself, you may be able to find some of the performances here on YouTube and likely somewhere out through the innerwebs. 

I remember watching most of the program when it aired, mostly to watch Thalia's holiday song performance but didn't record any of it. The video is a little pixelated because I enlarged it. 

Audio: As presented on the video itself.

XIV - Grace from the Mystical Cats Tarot Deck - 12 January 2023

XIV - Grace from the Mystical Cats Tarot Deck - 12 January 2023 
=========================
From January 12, 2023
=========================

The XIV - Grace from the Mystical Cats Tarot Deck was the card drawn on January 12th of 2023.

The card was upside-down meaning Disunion, lack of harmony. Competing interests, unfortunate combinations or alliances. Frustration, impatience.

However although it may seem like you are stalled, things really proceeding toward their proper ends and will arrive in their proper times.

- I'd originally only shared the card pull photo on other socials. For this video version I used CapCut to add a bit of flair to the photo and added the title, date, and the reading. I was originally just going to use it as is but decided that I first wanted a clear view of the card as close to the original share/post on other socials. This brought me to use my trusty old Camtasia 9 to put it all together.

What you see on this short video for the first several seconds is the card with just a tad of enhancements via Camtasia 9 then continue on to the CapCut version. All in all I think it came out pretty neat. 

Although on occasion I do play with enhancements for videos/photos, particularly for my Amalgam Creative Arts channel, I most often choose none to small amounts of enhancements for No Tan Diario Chronicles. Do you like adding more or less enhancements for videos/photos?

These are photos of the volunteer event where a team of volunteers from work got together to help setup one of the many Christmas trees that are set up around the Phoenix Children's' Hospital. All the photos were taken with my camera except the last one that one of the volunteers shared.

Here is a video from photos I took from two work celebrations. 

The first was the launch of the new mission for the department I was working in at the time. The new mission statement was, "Create guest loyalty and enhance financial performance through a branded dispute experience." We celebrated with cakes that we called Mission Momentum Cake. Here you see the photos i took of the cakes and of the printed and laminated mission statement.

The second was me celebrating ten year anniversary working at Target. The photos I took of the acknowledgement. The congratulations note was signed by the HR team, the acknowledgement by then Target CEO Gregg Steinhafel, and also included a $50 Target GiftCard.
