Wall, NJ (PRWEB) December 10, 2013

CEO of Single Throw Internet Marketing, Larry Bailin has been named Executive of the Year, 2013. The winner was announced at the NJBiz Business of the Year Awards in Somerset Park, NJ.

The staff at Single Throw nominated Larry for his incredible contributions to the company, and Internet marketing as a whole. Before Larry Bailin, there was no Internet marketing, says Deborah Rogers, Brand Manager at Single Throw. Back in 1994, he instantly saw the potential of the Internet as a marketing and sales medium and he took it as an opportunity to do what no one else had done.

It is this approach of spotting opportunities when others only see adversity that has made Larry and Single Throw what they are today.

An elite panel of judges met to review the nominations for Business of the Year and the top nominees in their respective categories were selected as finalists. Judges included Thomas A. Bracken, president and CEO of New Jersey State Chamber of Commerce; Kathleen Davis, EVP and COO of Chamber of Commerce Southern New Jersey; Maureen Hassett, SVP of New Jersey Economic Development Authority, and Peter Kasabach, ED of New Jersey Future.

Despite starting an Internet company just when the dot-com bubble burst and officially opening Single Throws doors on September 11, 2001 Larry has managed to turn a fledgling company into a thriving leader in the digital marketing space.

While others are focusing on building traps, well work on better tasting cheese, Larry has said to describe his approach to bringing customers to clients, and the way hes trained his staff to think as well. We are always looking to take our clients to the next level and we have done so many times. Each time we innovate, we raise the bar and we grow as our clients businesses grow."

In addition to being recognized as Executive of the Year, Larry has previously won NJBizs Forty Under Forty in 2007. Earlier this year Single Throw was named one of the Best Places to Work in New Jersey for 2013 and the digital marketing company has been nominated again for 2014.

Larry also sits on the national board of Students Against Destructive Decisions and is an active member in local chapters in New Jersey and coaches entrepreneurs in his hometown of Newark.

DUBAI Dubai International Film Festival chairman Abdulhamid Juma has since 2006 steered the Middle Eastern event into the mainstream using Hollywood glitz and glamor to bolster its global profile while putting Arab filmmaking at its heart.

He has navigated the festival through tough times and political upheaval in the region, while facing down questions of interference and outside pressures created by mounting an uncensored event in an Islamic state.

"We are proud we dont have any censorship at this festival,"Juma told The Hollywood Reporter. "You have to make sure you respect the audience and, as long as you dont surprise them, that is okay."

Juma said the festival introduced a system of content warnings for each film a more detailed descriptive version of the MPAA ratings system to help people make their own judgment call.

"People here don't necessarily understand the age ratings that they have in America,"Juma explained. "So we have extra ratings. We have a 15 + category and we will tell the audience that the film contains violence or bad language. Or [films] for [people] over 18 would say 'contains nudity or scenes of a sexual nature'."

In response to letter writers Fern and Laurence Wayman (Atheists in Foxholes, Dec. 3 edition of The NEWS) they stated: We think it is wrong to allow readers... to use letters to the editor for the propagation of their religious beliefs.

May I point out the almost comical irony which is exposed in their complaint, they have written a letter to the editor to propagate their own beliefs. In this case, their beliefs about free speech. Their pointing finger actually aims at their own nose as they are doing the very thing they are complaining is wrong.

Most people see tolerance as a virtue and show it by allowing others to voice their views whether they agree or not. Whether it is the atheist view to say, bah-humbug to Christmas or a believer to proclaim Jesus as the Saviour. Either voice has freedom in this country.

Fortunately we do not live in the Waymans world. Calling for the forced silence of those who hold an opposing view highlights intolerance. The Waymans think it is dishonourable for those to publicly give thanks to a higher power on Remembrance Day. I think it is dishonourable to trample on the hard-fought freedoms (such as the freedom of speech, and the freedom of religious belief) that those soldiers paid the ultimate price for.

This type of censorship is a dangerous road to stumble down. I for one welcome the Waymans freedom to propagate ideas in the public square, as they do tend to address important issues in our culture, even if I vehemently disagree.

Ironically again, next to the Wayman article, there was an ad for the Bethlehem Walk. Perhaps the Waymans could tolerate some fresh air, a good story, and some hot chocolate.

Microsoft's own work-in-progress social network now has its own mobile apps, something the other large social networking sites have already implemented. Apps for Socl, the site opened for testing by Microsoft's Future Social Experiences Labs (FuSE Labs) this time last year, are now available to download on iOS, Android, and Windows Phone.

The apps, spotted by WMPowerUser, all effectively provide the same set of features. Just as with the desktop version, the mobile apps allow users to make or collate collages that can be shared on Socl itself as well as Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, and Pinterest. Users can create visual responses, called "riffs" to existing content, upload images from their devices to the service, meet other users, and receive notifications from individual communities.

While Microsoft Research has not yet revealed how many people are using Socl, app store review counts and Google Play's install range could give an indication to its overall user base in the coming months. The apps themselves are also likely to give the social network a total user count boost, just as mobile apps for other sites have done in the past.
