Porsche has launched the all-new Cayman, which, in spite of being lower and longer than its predecessor, is also lighter, faster, more fuel-efficient and more powerful than ever.
The all-new Cayman's design is distinctive as the front fascia's cooling air inlets increase in size toward the sides of the car. Helping to lessen the car's weight is the aluminum hatch. Mounted directly to its lower section is the thin blade of the rear spoiler, which--in contrast to that of its Boxster stablemate--is reportedly higher and deploys at a steeper angle. Serving to highlight the Cayman's orientation as a mid-engine car are the dynamic recesses in the doors that guide induction air into the distinctive air scoops on the rear side panels and then directly to the engine.
The all-new Cayman is available as two models: the base Cayman and the sportier Cayman S.
The standard Cayman is powered by a 2.7-liter flat-six engine that produces 271hp, which allows it to run from zero to 100kph in 5.4 seconds before reaching its top speed of 266kph.
The higher-spec'd Cayman S, on the other hand, is equipped with a 3.4-liter flat-six engine that puts out 321hp and lets it sprint from a standing start to 100kph in 4.7 seconds while giving it a top speed of 283kph.
Although both the Cayman and the Cayman S come with a six-speed manual transmission as standard, the Porsche Doppelkupplungsgetriebe (PDK) can be delivered as an option, allowing both cars to accelerate much faster while improving fuel economy.
Optional features that are available to the all-new Cayman are adaptive cruise control, which controls the distance to the car ahead in traffic and vehicle speed, a specially developed Burmester sound system, and the keyless Entry & Drive system.
The all-new Porsche Cayman is due to go on sale in March 2013.

This pattern is surprising in light of the fact that a stock market listing gives firms access to cheaper investment capital.
According to new research, public companies invest less and are less sensitive to investment opportunities than private companies. NYU Stern Professor Alexander Ljungqvist and co-authors plumbed a newly available database of private company information to confirm that the short-term pressures of being public affect corporate behavior in significant ways.
In “Corporate Investment and Stock Market Listing: A Puzzle,” Professor Ljungqvist, John Asker of UCLA’s Anderson Graduate School of Management, and Joan Farre-Mensa of Harvard Business School utilized a database of some 99,000 private US firms covering more than 400,000 firm-years in the decade between 2001 and 2011, and compared the data with comparable data from public firms. Because private firms are often owner-managed, and in any case are both illiquid and have concentrated ownership, their owners monitor management more closely to ensure that long-term value is maximized; hence the authors reasoned that they would be subject to fewer “short-termist” pressures than listed companies.
The data showed that private firms invest substantially more than public ones, on average, holding firm size, industry and investment opportunities constant. “This pattern is surprising,” the authors write, “in light of the fact that a stock market listing gives firms access to cheaper investment capital.” Also, private firms’ investment decisions are around four times more responsive to changes in investment opportunities than those of public firms – even during the recent financial crisis. Further, the authors found that firms that go public invest more and are more sensitive to investment opportunities in the five years before they go public than after, and, once they have gone public, their investment sensitivity becomes indistinguishable from that of similar, already-public firms.

May the Schwartz Be With You: The Schwartz's vs My Big Boy!
This may be a little premature, but at two weeks in I'm going to call it. Well, we're almost at the end of week three cause I didn't want to call it too early. Cody is a big boy now. He is potty trained!
Is that a choir of angels I hear singing Hallelujah?
I really thought potty training Cody was going to be the death of me. He is a stubborn mule.
Angry when he opened his big boy undies on Christmas morning.
I worried that I talked about it too much. I've been talking to Cody about potty training since before Christmas. And we started and stopped at least 2 times. I know I put him in undies one day then quit. Then Chris was supposed to do it in January and quit after one day. So last Monday when I decided to put him in big boy undies I knew it was going to have to be all or nothing. I couldn't keep getting frustrated and giving in.
I'm not sure what made me decide to start. I think I didn't want to go to the gym so I figured if I was skipping it better be for a good reason. So I put him in those big boy undies set the timer for 20 minutes and got ready for the worst. I moved a bunch of books into the bathroom and prepared to squeeze in there and read to him. We would sit in the bathroom for about 10 minutes and read books, every 20 minutes. All. Day. Long.
We had a few victories, which were rewarded generously with M&Ms and stickers for this chart.
I went pee pee in the potty!
We had a lot of accidents.
We gave up on wearing pants, and apparently shirts.
Tuesday I rolled the desk chair in the bathroom because I couldn't sit on a little stool or the edge of the bathtub anymore. And again every 20 minutes the timer went off. We'd read 3 or 4 books. He liked sitting in there. All. Day. Long. I got really excited about nap time. And gym time. Except I felt bad because he peed all over himself twice while I was teaching.
By Wednesday I was tired of the timer going off every 20 minutes. I was tired of changing Cody's undies EVERY 20 minutes because he'd pee just a little in them and not say anything, then squeeze 3 drops into the toilet so he could get his M&Ms and a sticker.
I called my mom just to vent. I was getting slightly murderous. She sent me "starry" an alarm she used to night train Peter and Emily. It has leads that goes to it and sets off an alarm when it detects moisture, I was hoping that would help curb the pee a little in his undies and not care problem.
I almost had a Valentine's Day Massacre when Friday of the first week it all came to a head. While in the waiting room at my OBGYN Cody peed and flooded the floor. It soaked his socks and his shoes. In my 8 months pregnant glory I had to mop his giant puddle and river of pee up off the floor, change him into his spare pants (which were 18 month sweat pants that are now capris) take off his shoes and socks so he was barefoot and try to sit there for another 20 minutes and maintain a sliver of dignity. On the drive home, we were going to stop at Grandma and Grandpa Schwartz's to drop off Valentine cookies, I stopped at Sonic to get a drink and checked him. He'd flooded his car seat. We drove straight home. I was hormonal and not happy. We got home, I changed him again and went to wrestle the car seat out of the car. I hate getting car seats in and out of the car. I come back in and he's playing on my bed, with a giant turd in his pants on and he peed a little too. Awesome. We sat on the potty for the next hour until Chris got home. I was done. Starry arrived, but needed new batteries. We never got it put together before we had a breakthrough.
Week 2 things made a major turn for the better. We kept the timer going but took the books out of the bathroom so we didn't have to hang out in there. We started taking small ventures out of the house. We carried candy with us to bribe him to take potty breaks in public. We stayed dry.
We were still having poo problems, which really surprised me considering how easy it is to know when Cody is pooping. Cody has a bad belly; he's always had a bad belly. And part of that means he gets HORRIBLY constipated. Like poops once every 3 days and cries. You know when he's pooping. He's pooped on the potty plenty of times before we started potty training cause I'd figure out what was going on and put him on the potty to do it.
Tuesday, Chris picked him up and took him to Wal-mart to pick out cars for his poop-prize box. He was adorably excited about this outing. He ran up to Chris when he got to dance class and yelled, "Daddy! You take me to buy cars?" Now we were ready to get this pooping problem under control.
After a few days of not pooping I put him on the potty, gave him the iPad, set Sarah in there to make sure he didn't try to throw it in the potty. (He can't anyway, he can't get off the potty by himself...not tall enough yet.) And left them alone for about 30 minutes. He relaxed and played games and then I heard the excited yell, "Mom! I pooped in the potty! I pooped in the potty!" And he earned the car he'd been wanting to hold every time we went to the bathroom. He wanted that car bad!
On Thursday of week 2 we had a major breakthrough! Cody came up to me and said, "Mom I need to go potty!" And we ran there to discover he was still dry and he did indeed need to go potty! I took him off the timer as a test. We stayed dry and earned another car that day!
When he gets up in the morning we take his diaper off and put on big boy undies. Friday he was already in his big boy undies and I was picking out his clothes for the day I asked him, "what do you want to wear?" He said very stubbornly, "I wear big boy undies. I go to hockey game." A long time ago we told him that as soon as he started wearing big boy undies and keeping them clean he could go to a hockey game with Dad. He was ready for his game. He was telling me when he needed to go, he was holding it till we got to a potty. He earned the hockey game.
Chris called his parents to see if there was a game anytime soon and if we could go with them. There happened to be a game that night and so we all ventured out for Cody's big reward. This was scary it takes about 90 minutes I think to get to the hockey arena from our house. I did not want him to flood my car again. Plus I worried that he'd be too into the game to tell us he needed to go potty.
He was a little scared at first but after he got his popcorn he was happy.
Watching the hockey guys with Grandpa.
With this milestone, Grandma and Grandpa treated the kids to their own hockey sweaters because the rule is that you can start going to games with just grandma and grandpa once you're potty trained. So now Cody is officially a big boy. And I rejoiced!
While it started out rough, and I'm not sure we've quite mastered pooping, it's good enough for me to call it. He's off the timer. He tells me when he wants to go potty. And I survived potty training another human. I guess I can do this one more time in a couple of years.

Carbon monoxide is a colorless, odorless, tasteless gas usually produced by combustion (the burning of fuel; e.g., gasoline, natural gas, oil, wood). The most common sources of carbon monoxide are motor vehicles, furnaces, water heaters, fireplaces, woodstoves, and various internal combustion engines. Carbon monoxide is dangerous when inhaled because carbon monoxide molecules bond with hemoglobin in the blood over 200 times more easily than oxygen molecules. Oxygen is vital to the proper functioning of the major organs and muscles of the body. When carbon monoxide replaces oxygen in the blood, the body is deprived of oxygen. Oxygen deprivation can cause alteration or loss of consciousness, organ damage, brain damage, coma, and death.
The symptoms of mild carbon monoxide poisoning include headaches, stuffiness, fatigue, dizziness, and drowsiness. Because these symptoms are the same as for colds and flu, carbon monoxide poisoning is often not diagnosed, but mistakenly attributed to cold or flu.
The symptoms of moderate carbon monoxide poisoning include those of mild poisoning plus alteration or loss of consciousness.
The symptoms of severe carbon monoxide poisoning include those of mild and moderate poisoning plus cardiovascular problems, seizure, coma, and death.
The most common causes of carbon monoxide exposure are inadequate air supply to combustion appliances, improperly installed combustion appliances, improperly maintained combustion appliances, improperly vented combustion appliances, defective motor vehicle exhaust systems, and idling automobiles in garages.
To help prevent carbon monoxide poisoning: Don’t block air supply to combustion appliances. Don’t do home remodeling without taking air supply and exhaust venting into consideration. Use professional installers and service technicians. Don’t operate attic fans with windows and doors closed (because air can be sucked down the exhaust vents of the combustion appliances, drawing carbon monoxide into the living quarters – “backdrafting”). Make sure that all combustion appliances are vented properly. Install carbon monoxide detectors.
Carbon monoxide detectors should be placed at eye level in all bedrooms, the main living space, and in the room housing the combustion appliances. A detector should be placed in the kitchen if the stove is natural gas fired. The detectors should be placed at eye level because: (1) carbon monoxide is generally dispersed throughout the space rather than concentrating at the ceilings or on the floor; and (2) you are not as likely to forget about replacing the batteries, or the detector when it becomes outdated.
Shut down the probable source of the carbon monoxide if it is safe and easy to do. Get out and get fresh air. Get checked immediately at a hospital and have your blood tested for carbon monoxide saturation. Consider calling 911 rather than driving to the hospital, or have someone else drive you to the hospital. Have your home tested by the fire department before the carbon monoxide dissipates. Have your combustion appliances and your HVAC system tested by a professional HVAC company.
An experienced attorney is especially important in carbon monoxide poisoning cases. Attorney Mac Hester has the knowledge of the science and the experience in carbon monoxide cases to effectively handle your carbon monoxide case.

Project Reconnect grantees help refugees rebuild their lives in Germany by facilitating access to online education, language learning, and other information resources. The organizations and initiatives are supporting a wide range of projects using the Chromebooks donated by Project Reconnect.
The following short stories were shared with us over the past year. They illustrate how creative organisations and initiatives are getting to help thousands of refugees in Germany.
June 2016. At IB West in Cologne 21 Chromebooks are supporting refugee learners. The location offers four courses in two classrooms with Chromebooks, two courses in the morning and two in the afternoon. Chromebooks are used in class to deepen the understanding of topics discussed, such as current affairs and cultural differences and after class to practice vocabulary and to design a resume with the help of online templates. They are used to search for vocational training offers on the platform ausbildung.de and to study German with online offers such as IWDL.de. The main objective of the activities of IB West is to bring refugees into more qualified jobs through training.
October 2016. Ali Hiner enjoys writing lyrics and accompanies himself on the guitar. But at home, in Syria, there is war. This is the reason why Ali fled. In Germany, he now lives in a refugee home with other Syrian refugees. He still wirtes poems and songs. In these he describes his his new situation in Germany - in German. The Chromebooks in the accomodation have brought him an idea: to start a blog, through which he can share his texts with other people. Why does he write in German? "I would like to show other refugees that it is worth learning German. Because German is not just the language for an appointment in the office." For him German is also the language for songs and poems.
October 2016. Saeed, a 27-year-old refugee from Syria, discovered Kiron in the summer of 2016, almost a year after he arrived in Germany. He quickly registered via Smartphone to become a student. As Saeed didn't own a computer, he was excited to learn that he could use Chromebooks to access his courses at an improvised study hub in the Kiron offices in Munich. He not only studies regularly with the Chromebooks, but also uses it to gather information about German asylum application process and his rights as a refugee or simply to correspond with e-mails. He liked the idea of the study hubs so much that he started recruiting other refugees for Kiron. His efforts paid off. "Chromebooks not only gave me the opportunity to pursue my studies with Kiron and help me navigate through the German bureaucracy jungle, but I also got to met the Kiron Team in Munich. Now, they even offered me a job to work in the first Munich Study Hub!" Since October there is a "real" study hub in Munich, where Saeed works as a paid coordinator. He will continue to take courses at Kiron, but thanks to the Chromebooks he now has a job and is a valued member of the Kiron team.
December 2016. Refugees Emancipation is an organisation run by refugees operating in Berlin and Potsdam. They are present at eight different locations where they provide internet access to other refugees and set up Internet cafés, where they deployed the Chromebooks granted by NetHope. Especially the kids expressed high interest in using the internet and they were (one of) the first to use the Chromebooks under supervision of the coordinators. Right now they are working on coming up with a system that makes it possible for the refugees, to borrow and use a Chromebook outside the internet café and the usual opening hours.
January 2017. TeachCom Edutainment took part in the Estrel Job Fair where interested refugees have the opportunity to learn about and apply for internships, vocational training programs and even jobs. TeachCom provided information about their course offers with Chromebooks. They also used the sponsored laptops for a visitor survey. “We will evaluate the results together. They should help to improve the job fair.” explains Thomas Nittka from TeachCom. It was a great success. "I am very satisfied with the visitors' attendance, there were numerous interesting candidates who will be invited to talks." says one of the exhibitors at Estrel.
May 2017. The students at ‘Gemeinschaftsschule in der Taus’, a school in Backnang with kids age 6 to 16, come from 27 different countries, including Pakistan, Tunisia and Kazakhstan. In addition the school hosts two classes dedicated to preparing refugee students to participate in regular classes. Many of the students are from Syria. The refugee classes bring together kids from different age groups - and their knowledge of German varies. That’s why Matthias Mayer, the German language teacher for the refugee classes, decided to use multiple online language portals, so every student can learn at the level at which he actually is and in an age-appropriate approach. The younger children play the game „Lern Deutsch – Stadt der Wörter“ of the Goethe-Institut which leads through everyday situations and which the children can play against each other. Older students use the language course of Deutsch-Akademie. There they find tasks from the beginner level up to liquid language usage.
June 2017. A family from Syria had been searching for an apartment for months. The father was able to bring his wife and his three children from Syria via Turkey to Herford in North Rhine-Westfalia, Germany. They were temporarily able to live with the family father’s sister and brother-in-law and their six children. The living situation was becoming more and more difficult. The mother was seeking help at the migration advice center of the German Red Cross in Herford. Employees of the German Red Cross and migration counseling center helped her search for accommodations online. They quickly found a suitable apartment. After completing the formalities, the family was able to move into the new apartment within two weeks. The initially empty apartment was gradually filled with furniture and household items, which the family found over the Internet, again using a Chromebook.
June 2017. Rachid is a calm, reserved man. He spoke little, and hardly dared to say a sentence in German when he visited an Asylplus learning center for the first time. He was not familiar with computers, but that changed quickly. He soon started studying German with the online content from Goethe-Verlag, a publishing house which provides support texts in Arabic, Rachid’s native language. In addition, Rachid signed up for online language tutoring with “Volunteer Vision” and was matched with a corporate volunteer who tutors him in a live video chat once a week for an hour. Rachid uses a Chromebook at the local library for his tutoring sessions. He has been a different person ever since he started practicing with his tutor. He is more confident and dares to communicate in German and to ask questions - and he smiles. He continues to make great progress. Now he plans to attend an entry-level Cisco online course to learn more about computers and the Internet.
June 2017. Every Tuesday, the nonprofit “jubez” invites kids and teens from Karlsruhe and refugee children to a woodworking workshop. The goal is to “create n roll”, to build a longboard and get rolling. Professional help is at hand. The young refugees use Chromebooks to look for photos and graphics, which they then transfer to the wood of their longboards. Many choose themes that remind them of their homeland.
The workshop and joint interest make it easy to overcome language and age barriers and build friendship across cultures.
July 2017. Hedle Hac Ahmed is 19 years young. She came to Germany two years ago. She was born and grew up in Syria. Hedle could not participate in a German language course for a long time because she has a little son. Miran was born in Stadtallendorf in Hessen 15 months ago, and already understands a little bit German. Hedle is very happy that she can finally learn German, because she found Miran a place in daycare and she herself got accepted for the 3-months entry level course "Einstieg Deutsch" at the adult education center in Marburg. The course combines classroom learning with guided self- study sessions where online exercises are used to deepen the content covered in class. Hedle is very committed to studying German. Even though it is sometimes difficult for her, she is happy about her progress. She wants to work as a nurse in Germany, like she did in her home country. She hopes to get a place in the more comprehensive integration course soon, so she can quickly get closer to her goal.
August 2017. Although many children and youth currently residing at refugee shelters across Germany are using various technical devices for internet connectivity, the internet still bears risks for them and their data security. There is no system currently in place which coherently explains these risks to them, or even protects them. For over two years now, Save the Children has been working to strengthen and promote child protection in refugee shelters through various programs, activities, and advocacy work. One focus in the area of child protection is in the area of digital citizenship. Through our media-educational approach, we want to relay to children and youth, but also to parents and staff at refugee shelters, how to safely use the internet and computers. Save the Children implements course cycles at different shelters, each time training one or more staff members who will remain on site to carry on the courses and provide IT support. For this purpose, some of the Chromebooks remain at each site following the successful implementation of a training cycle. Modules making up each training cycle range from “Basic Internet ABC”, where children learn how to use browsers and search engines, what the associated risks are and how they can protect their data, to “Khan Academy” educational resources for math’s, sciences and German, to “Introduction to Computer Sciences” where they are introduced to programming in a play-focused and child-friendly way.
August 2017. Learning with digital media is becoming standard in most classes. Thanks to ADIA Erding, the students in a refugee class in Taufkirchen/Vils in Bavaria have enough Chromebooks in their classroom, to allow each student to explore the possibilities of the Internet, either alone or with a partner. Important is that the students are guided in the learning process. Teachers prepare worksheets with exercises for which students use the Chromebooks. A typical task is: Which words do you not understand? Use your Chromebook and Google translator, then write the translation above the word. This allows students to work on more difficult texts. Other tasks are finding the right German articles or using online exercises to deepen the understanding of what is taught in the textbooks. Refugee classes are very heterogeneous. Students come from different educational backgrounds and are at different stages in their learning. The Chromebooks are well suited to support individual learners at the level they are at. Learning gets more personalized - an approach that might become a model for other heterogeneous classes in Bavaria.

"We need to find the courage to really be there for one another. Because no one can go the distance alone."
Unni Turrettini is a writer, speaker, and involved citizen. Whether exploring the twisted mind of a lone wolf killer or the hubris of the Nobel Peace Prize committee, she shines a light on hidden secrets and motivations. Unni’s work is about truth-telling and about speaking for those who have no voice. Underneath anger there is always great pain. She feels that knowledge of human frailties and the conditioned mind can shed light on everyone’s motivations, and bring us closer to a true understanding of what drives all actions. And she believes that each one of us has the power to make a difference. The first step is awareness.
July 22, 2011 was the darkest day in Norway’s history since Nazi Germany’s invasion. It was 189 minutes of terror—from the moment the bomb exploded outside a government building until Breivik was apprehended by the police on the island of Utøya.
Breivik murdered seventy-seven people, most of them teenagers, and wounded hundreds more. The massacre left the world in shock.
What makes person a bully and someone else a target? Bullying in different cultures; solutions that work.
We are all conditioned to believe certain lies about ourselves and others. Most of these beliefs are based on fear. Learn to see through your conditioning and find yourself.
What are the warning signs when there’s no paper trail? What can be done to stop them? How do they differ from other mass murderers? What can be learned by studying the manifesto of a killer.
If you are interested in booking Unni for a speaking engagement, please use the contact form at the top of this page to reach her.
GREAT DAY / KMPH FOX 26, Fresno, November 5, 2015. Discussing “The Mystery of the Lone Wolf Killer”.
Born and raised in Norway, Unni’s curiosity led her to live nearly half of her life abroad. She graduated from high school as an exchange student in Kansas City, Kansas, and she has law degrees from Norway, France, and the United States. Before becoming a full-time writer, she worked as a lawyer and in finance in Paris and Geneva, and is a member of the New York Bar. Her multicultural upbringing has provided her with a flexible worldview and a deep understanding and compassion for differences in both people and cultures. Because of her international background, she speaks and conducts research in several languages. Unni travels frequently to the United States and elsewhere to speak at conferences, colleges, universities, and associations.
Unni Turrettini does a magnificent job of illustrating the evolution of Anders Breivik in the context of modern Norway, a world she knows is fertile ground for the development of a lone wolf terrorist. She recognizes what authorities have preferred to ignore: that privilege and comfort in a society do not eliminate the likelihood of a terrorist blooming in its midst. She [shows] what can be done to prevent the savagery lone wolves inflict in any country.
Actions like those of lone wolf Breivik are seemingly incomprehensible and easily dismissed as those of a single crazed individual. Turrettini combines a discussion of Norwegian culture and social psychology to create a compelling analysis that is simultaneously deeper and more frightening. In today’s world, the man on a shooting spree is everyday news. Turrettini points to a solution that will surprise—and then make perfect sense.
The author's argument has wide application: namely, that by overlooking announcements of intent, in effect, that these killers often make before acting, law enforcement officials will miss the lone wolf killers among us. An urgent but evenhanded treatise that deserves a wide readership.
Anders Behring Breivik, whose July 22, 2011 killing spree in Norway ended 77 lives, is characterized here as a “lone wolf killer,” and compared and contrasted with past mass murderers, primarily Theodore Kaczynski and Timothy McVeigh. The thesis, that lone wolves can be identified only by sensitive observation by the communities within which they attempt to form connections, is believable and clearly stated.
Deeyah Khan is a Norwegian human rights activist, especially in regards to women’s voices and freedom of expression. She uses music, words, and film to convey her powerful messages.
OPS – Oceanic Preservation Society is a group of activists, artists, and change agents led by Academy Award-winning film maker Louie Psihoyos committed to sustainability and preservations of our oceans and the planet.
Nick Danziger has spent the last 25 years photographing the world’s most dispossessed and disadvantaged, using his talent to bring awareness and make change.
Julie Ringnes created her first skin oil as an act of love when she couldn’t find a product to safely soothe and heal her child’s eczema, she created her own line of products. Her oils are all natural, and equally good for the planet. Julie is a truly inspiring person and friend!

On-the-job learning activities are used when individual instruction is appropriate. An example of this would be on-the-job training (OJT). On-the-job learning activities do, however, include workshops and seminars designed for group participation. They are usually conducted by HRD learning specialists or highly qualified and experienced managers. Again, the purpose is to enhance performance through the acquisition of increased knowledge, skills, competencies, and/or improved behavior.
Off-the-job learning activities include college and university courses as well as workshops and seminars conducted by outside consultants and instructors. These are used to supplement internal organizational learning activities and/or to provide specialized learning that cannot be provided by internal HRD practitioners. An example would be a program on team building or interpersonal dynamics using outside resources away from the organizational setting.
Finally, through-the-job learning activities manifest themselves as new job assignments and/or duties that foster growth, development, and confidence. They include job rotations and job enrichment programs designed to increase knowledge, skills, and competencies and/or improve behavior. Because these types of activities are focused on providing new experience and increased responsibilities, they are often not viewed as learning activities. Properly organized and arranged, however, they can serve as the foundation for a comprehensive and complete career development program. Included in this approach is individual analysis of knowledge, competencies, skills, values, and interest. Career planning has also become a part of this approach by returning to the employee the responsibility of career advancement and mobility. The organization becomes an active participant by providing challenging assignments designed to foster interest and commitment.
All three types of learning activities (on, off, and through the job) have as their purpose increased knowledge, skills, and competencies and improved behavior, all of which should result in performance improvement.

Albatross have good musicians, save for the vocalist, but all it does is exemplify the point that above-average skill at a musical instrument doesn’t always translate to proficient songwriting chops. Their ‘Kissing Flies’ side of the split EP with Vestal Claret is a commendable enough effort, coming as it is from an Indian band playing traditional heavy metal (and how many bands do that these days?), however, the cold glare of objectivity doesn’t shine an altogether flattering light on the work contained within.
Albatross are a four piece from Bombay with a fixation on all things that go bump in the night. From what I gather, they are big fans of Mercyful Fate/King Diamond and share that illustrious personality’s penchant for tales of horror and the outre. Personally speaking, I’ve never been a fan of the King’s theatrics, generally finding the music too long-winded in a lop-sided attempt at maintaining harmony with his quirky voice. Albatross take the long-windedness of their idols, and manage to surgically remove the good riffs, replacing them with plodding parts that go nowhere and serve no purpose other than padding up song lengths. An example is the slow, “exotic” melody in the middle on “Uncle Sunny” that goes on for nearly 3 minutes, with the vocalist merely following the notes to the T. A little nimbleness, a little sense of adventure, to break out of limbo would’ve been nice. John Arch, ex-Fates Warning was a past master at this, weaving altogether disparate melodies over underlying chords.
Which brings me to my chief beef with the band’s music – the vocals. Biprorshee just isn’t a very good vocalist. And this comes from a guy who’s heard more quirky metal vocalists than most. I find there are three types of clean voices; one, which is the conventional definition of the great voice (Halford, Rob Lowe, Dio, etc). Two, people like Mark Shelton, John Arch who have voices different from the norm, but are good singers nevertheless. And third, the bad singers who overcome their lack of skill with sheer balls-out enthusiasm and verve; Paul Baloff, Ozzy, Tim Baker, etc. The Albatross vocalist doesn’t fit any of these three.His lower register sounds downright whiny as if he’s singing with his chin tucked tightly into his upper chest. The higher frequencies are somewhat better but occasionally verge on the grating. The creepy, cackling side-effects that he tries to pull off are just bad, unfortunately. I suggest he check out the song ‘Spider’ off Manilla Road’s Circus Maximus to see what a schizoid, unhinged voice truly sounds like.
But hey, at least there is no homage to Sweating Bullets here.
Connecticut band Vestal Claret’s seventeen minute song ‘Black Priest’ completes the second half of this split. Claret play competent doom/heavy metal with progressive touches. It isn’t the most original stuff out there, but does a fair job jabbing at legends like Black Sabbath, Candlemass, Solitude Aeternus, with certain sections that wouldn’t seem amiss on a latter day Pink Floyd record. The vocalist, Phil Swanson, reminds me of Blayze Bayley quite a lot, not having quite the tenor of a Marcolin or Lowe, but solid enough to hold the music together and force his presence through. All in all, a reasonable song which doesn’t become tedious in spite of its length and feels more like a series of segues. Worth checking out.

I found “Dinner Is You” very engaging – a really cool story told very nicely, and it does justice to their King Diamond/Mercyful Fate influence.
I can understand where this review is coming from. This was our ‘if Albatross had to tread into doom territory to create a split with Vestal Claret’ album. A lot of people who liked Dinner is You did not enjoy this one.
Coincidentally, the next release has us going all Painkiller and in particular ‘all guns blazing’. Still can’t guarantee you’ll like the vocals though :).

Insurance is a topic that, in my opinion, tends to produce flat-line enthusiasm. Seldom do hearts pound or blood race at the thought of signing on a policy's dotted line, maybe because it brings the dark side of reality to full view and asks us to pay the price. It is a side where our state of denial resides, where we tend to believe that bad things can happen to everybody else, just not to us.
Quite possibly, insurance could be the only kind of business in the world where others take the risk that something catastrophic won't happen to you, while you take the gamble that it will. For if a disaster doesn't befall you, the premiums you have paid would simply be a waste of money.
As a script, this would make for a really great surreal comedy - another opportunity for escapism - but as a topic for an article, it would probably have you closing your eyes, exhaling a sigh of controlled indifference and flipping the page.
Yes, insurance, especially property insurance, has that effect, even though it forms a vital part of securing ownership and can provide that remedy in the event something terrible happens to your most valuable possession.
Think of it as the third layer of your property's security system, the first being grilles on your doors and windows, the second being the alarm system and smoke detectors. Should both these layers be breached, the presence of insurance would at least give you the resources to pick up the pieces and rebuild your life.
Despite this, not enough importance is placed on property insurance, either due to the same apathy that made some flip this page, or due to lack of knowledge. This might explain why for many, the only policy they have on their property is the bare basic cover required by an end-financier to cover its interest (which is the amount borrowed), and not any structural modifications that might have been added on. And where would that leave them if reality strikes? Holding onto the poorer end of the stick, obviously.
Remedying the situation needn't cost an arm and a leg - merely the assessment of the reinstatement cost for enhancement, and payment of an annual premium of RM1.20 per thousand ringgit sum insured. Remember: the amount need only be the reinstatement cost of the improved building itself, and not the total value of the property as the land portion cannot be destroyed, unless it is near a hill slope. Should this be the case, an additional subsidence and landslip rider should be taken at a cost of 80 sen per thousand.
Other than cover for building, another insurance that should be considered for complete peace of mind is the Householder policy, which protects your contents from either damage or theft. It might not replace that family heirloom, but at least you've taken positive steps to secure it, and that's all great-grandma could have ever asked of you.
This policy need not only apply to house owners, but also tenants, as it will secure their possessions from theft or destruction. There are many interesting features to the policy, one being its ability to cover property temporarily removed from a house. In my policy, I read - yes, I bother to read the fine-print in these documents - there is a clause which states that except for property removed for sale or exhibition or furniture depositories, property temporary taken away from a private dwelling can be covered against all perils, including theft. The limit of claim in this respect is 15 per cent of the total sum insured on the contents. Thus, if I understand my agent correctly, if I were to take my PC out of my house and leave it in a car, and if somebody were to break the windows and steal the PC, my house insurance would cover its loss.
There are loads of other nuggets in the Houseowner/Householder policies that might have eluded your attention. For further reading, please return to contents on property insurance.

Enjoy a special museum outing with your dog! Dogswill be welcome at the Adirondack Museum, Blue Mountain Lake, New York on Saturday, August 6, 2011. It will be a “pawsitively” perfect day for dog lovers and proud pet owners as “Dog Days of Summer” will return for a fifth year.
Explore the Adirondack Museum and enjoy a variety of doggy demonstrations, programs, and activities with your dog! All dogs are welcome when accompanied by well-behaved owners.
For everyone’s enjoyment, the event has a few simple rules and regulations for pups and their people: dogs must be leashed at all times; owners must clean up after their pets – special bags will be available; dogs will only be allowed on the grounds – not in the exhibit buildings; Doggy Day Care will be available throughout the day at no charge, with the understanding that dogs cannot be left for more than an hour; and poorly behaved or aggressive dogs will be asked to leave the museum grounds with their owners.
for the “most Adirondack,” “most natural,” “most stylish,” “most goofy,” and “most outrageous” costumes.
Champlain Valley K-9 Search and Rescue will be demonstrating how dogs perform the tough tasks of search and rescue. The K-9 Search and Rescue consists of Christopher and Shannon Bresett and others, who started the organization and now travel throughout the region. As part of the demonstration there are ramps, tunnels and a high-rise that resembles what the canines might encounter in disaster and wilderness situations. The dogs also show how they use their scent by seeing an explosion display of “Hide and Seek”. Champlain Valley Search and Rescue’s services were called recently in the aftermath of the tornadoes as they worked in Tuscaloosa, Alabama and Joplin, Missouri.
“Dog Days” demonstrations and activities also include: “Red Alert: Wet Labrador Coming Through!” with Ken Kalil; “Agility” with the Takes 2 to Q Agility Club; “Dancing With Dogs” with the Adirondack High Peaks Training Club; and “Pet Portraits” with artist Bev Saunders.
Presentations include “Kayaking with Your Dog” with Dorice Stancher, and “Tait’s Dogs” an exhibit tour with Curator Hallie Bond. Adirondack favorites, Bill Smith and Chris Shaw, will tell “Tall Tails” and share humorous stories and songs about people and their dogs.
“Dog Days of Summer” will also include an expanded agility course for visiting dogs with new seesaw, tunnel, pause table, tire jump, and boardwalk. Dogs and their owners can also take a ride on the pond in the museum’s reproduction Bisby Scow.
The event will include “Doggy Booths” featuring regional working dogs and organizations. Participants include: the Schenectady Chapter of Therapy Dogs; Tri-Lakes Humane Society; North Country SPCA; and Canines Can Do featuring information about Canine Good Citizens program. Dog owners and representatives will answer questions about the training, care, and work of special dogs. Jake Placid and Second Time Around will be selling special products to pamper your pooch.
Visitors are asked to bring a donation of animal food, toys, or cleaning supplies to the museum on “Dog Days.” A drop-off spot will be located in the Visitor Center. The museum will deliver donations to regional animal shelters.
This year’s “Dog Days of Summer” event was made possible by generous support from Nancy and Lawrence Master.

Last week word came that Morris Island beach goers would have to abide by new rules to ensure the undeveloped and pristine island stays that way.
My only remaining concern is how the City of Charleston now views the island. According to all reports Morris Island will now be managed just like any other park within city's jurisdiction and that is a mistake. The island may share some common characteristics with other parks, such as being a public place for recreation and relaxation, but the similarities stop there.
Go read the whole editorial.
Like with most rules, it doesn't matter how strict they are, only that they're enforced. And the problem on July 4th was that no one was enforcing the rules, not that the rules were too lenient.

text: The developers who promote, polish and prepare the Audubon Apps for those who have smart phones, iPads, and other such devices, are having a Labor Day weekend sale at 99cents per app. these are not “the definitive” bird app nor The Illustrator’s best. They are very good, recent, photo-illustrated apps. Much better than the last edition extant of the Audubon (photo-illustrated) book versions. I like them better than iBird Pro. In addition, I’ve found they have a good library of sound recordings, especially since they welcome additions from the public. So, you’ve already paid $15-$30 for the Sibley and/or the NationalGeo apps, but this is definitely worth the price for the very specific California Birds, the Trees, the Butterflies…how about the Flowers? Spoil yourself to all four! We’ll compare notes in the field!

South Jersey residents living in the 856 and 609 area codes will need to change the way they dial phone numbers on their landlines and mobile devices.

A good technician never underestimates what is under the hood since appearances can be deceiving — just ask Amanda Mutarelli, a student in Rowan College at Gloucester County's (RCGC) Automotive Technology program. With her dramatic eye makeup and colorful tattoos, this skilled technician knows firsthand how deceptive appearances can be.
Mutarelli, of Glassboro, finds it amusing that she does not fit the stereotypical image of an auto technician. A self-described "girly girl with a passion for cars," she is most content when working in a garage surrounded by tools. Although being a female in a mostly male dominated profession can have its drawbacks, Mutarelli isn't one to back away from a career that gets her motor racing.
At Liberty, you can stare up at the Eiffel Tower or roam the streets of Disney’s Magic Kingdom. “Elven Assassin” seeks to give you a true feel as you reach for your quiver, nock your arrow, and fire at hordes of orcs and trolls that rush toward your base. And games like “Fruit Ninja VR” can be an intense, fruit-slashing workout if you don’t mind flailing your arms like a fool.
We are excited to announce the opening of a new business: Liberty Virtual Reality on Rowan Boulevard! Liberty VR is excited to be the first to present this new, exciting attraction to South Jersey! Grand Opening Weekend will be April 20th-22nd, with an official Grand Opening on April 21st at 10:00am.
This Grand Opening Weekend will include free 5-minute VR trials and an iPad raffle entry to every guest!
"They're the ones that are going to be solving the next engineering challenges so to be able to expose them [and] get them excited about it [will] hopefully increase that talent pipeline down the future."
The young engineers also got the chance to work alongside current Rowan students to solve everyday problems with the help of science.
The University has been working closely with Elite Development Program (EDP), the lead partner in West Campus Fields, to develop the complex. The plan includes a 4,500-seat arena, an indoor training center, more than 50 athletic fields, artificial turf fields, baseball fields, tennis courts, outdoor track and field venues, a hotel and retail space.
Steve Shilling, president of EDP, told university officials that EDP believes they will be building the best youth sports venue in the United States.
The facilities are expected to draw 1.5 million visitors a year, primarily for youth sports tournaments and training, and will be the home of Rowan University's athletics.

We performed a meta-analysis of GWAS of atrial fibrillation among 29,502 cases and 767,760 controls from Iceland and the UK Biobank with follow-up in samples from Norway and the US, focusing on low-frequency coding and splice variants aiming to identify causal genes. We observe associations with one missense (OR = 1.20) and one splice-donor variant (OR = 1.50) in RPL3L, the first ribosomal gene implicated in atrial fibrillation to our knowledge. Analysis of 167 RNA samples from the right atrium reveals that the splice-donor variant in RPL3L results in exon skipping. We also observe an association with a missense variant in MYZAP (OR = 1.38), encoding a component of the intercalated discs of cardiomyocytes. Both discoveries emphasize the close relationship between the mechanical and electrical function of the heart.

All around the world, people are celebrating Christmas with their own traditions. So, let’s have a closer look at the founders of Christmas markets – Germany. Here are 5 traditions that you should adapt for your own festivities.
You have probably heard about Advent calendars? No? Then this is for sure a tradition that you will love, because who doesn't love opening up a little door every day in December? The Season of Advent includes all four Sundays before Christmas and focuses on the expectation and celebration of Christ’s birth. In that time, there are different calendars used in German homes. You can build your own or buy them in any store, where they are filled with toys, chocolates or toiletries.
As well as a calendar, an Advent wreath decorates most German homes. Most families make the Advent wreath themselves, which is generally a circle of green with four candles representing each of the four Sundays. On the first Sunday, there will be one candle lit on the Advent wreath, then two, then three and then on the fourth Sunday, all four candles will be lit.
No Christmas season is complete without at least one visit at a Christmas market. The streets of every historic city center of a major German city is full of Christmas market stalls. You can find seasonal handcrafts like our star, mulled wine, marzipan and nougat, as well as other snack bars with yummy things to try. If you have a close look, you will even find our Herrnhut star decorating the little huts situated on the market. If you are planning a trip to Germany for Christmas, visiting one of these Christmas markets is a must. If not, we are looking forward to seeing you at our Herrnhuter Sterne booth near you.
Herrnhut stars make a special appearance during the Advent and Christmas season to decorate apartments, churches, and squares. For many German families, the Herrnhut Star (also known as the Moravian Star) is the mother of all Christmas decorations and a beautiful, festive tradition. The ritual in the homeland of the Herrnhut stars, the Oberlausitz, is that with the first glow of the stars, the Christmas season ‘officially’ begins! The Herrnhut star symbolizes the light of Bethlehem and Gold as the origin of all Christmas stars.The Herrnhuter Star was first created by a teacher in a Moravian School in Niesky, Germany. He used the star to explain Geometry, as it has 17 quadrangular and 8 triangular points — the mathematical vocabulary for it is rhombicuboctahedron.
It was soon adopted by the Moravian Church to represent the Star of Bethlehem. Pieter Verbeek, one of the graduates of the Moravian School opened a bookstore in 1880 and used the Star to decorate his little store. Soon after that, his son expanded the bookstore into a factory and began selling the Herrnhut Star all over the world. His factory was destroyed by the Soviet Army in World War 2. After the war was finished, the East German government took over the factory, until it was later turned over to the Moravian Church. Today, it is run by the Herrnhuter Sterne GmbH, an economic undertaking of the Moravian Church and can be found all over the world.
The Feast of St. Nicholas on the 6th December is an important part of the pre-Christmas time. He is not only a gift-bringer but also a good influence, because you have to clean your shoes before he comes and put them outside the door. If you haven't cleaned your shoes properly and been good, then you will not have any presents in your shoe.
The gift exchange in Germany takes place on December 24th. The night before is usually the time when the Christmas tree is decorated. Many families will go to church on Christmas Eve and have the Christmas presents under the tree ready to be unpacked. Martin Luther created the figure Christ Child around 1535 as the bringer of the gifts. But with the Europeans immigrants introducing Nicolaus, he became Father Christmas. Therefore, a lot of children no longer know Christ Child or that Father Christmas and Nikolaus are one and the same person.
December 25th and December 26th are also holidays in Germany. On those two days, most people visit relatives and friends or invite them over. At least one of the two days is celebrated with a big meal, with goose or carp as a traditional main course.
We hope to have brought you near some of our German traditions — some may be weird and some may be wonderful. In the end, it is your family traditions that will make your Christmas unique.
Spreading the joy of the holiday!

As somewhat of a pastry aficionado, planning the dessert portion of a meal is how I get my jollies. There is seldom a dish repeated, mostly because I like using our dinner guests as guinea pigs for testing new creations. And there have yet to be any complaints from the peanut gallery, thankfully.
But this time I’m stumped.
This year, we are hosting the Seder meal for Passover. My first, both hosting and attending. Naturally, I couldn’t wait to start planning a meal for 13 guests. Oodles of research was done to perfectly meld tradition with our own twists. The appetizers, entrees and sides were quickly set. Which left the best for last, dessert.
As I am a newbie when it comes to kosher regulations, there were quite a few missteps. And thus my plans were thwarted.
During Passover, leavening is prohibited. That means no bread, no yeast, no baking powder or soda. Okay, I think I can work with that. How about a nice cheesecake? There is no leavening, we’ll use crushed almonds for the crust. Perfection! Nope, FAIL.
According to Jewish law, you cannot eat meat and dairy during the same meal, ever. Most wait 3 to 6 hours after eating meat to consume any kind of dairy. So the cheesecake was a bust. How about a flourless chocolate cake? Nope, can’t use butter. NO BUTTER!?!?! Resume banging head against wall.
Oy vey. I’m going with the latter. Sweet, salty, crunchy Toffee Chocolate Hazelnut Matzo. Matzo soaks up hot toffee, then is coated with dark chocolate, toasted hazelnuts and a sprinkle of cardamom. Bingo. Now I have something to do with the 6 lbs of matzo sitting in my kitchen.
Preheat oven to 375F. Toast hazelnuts for 10m. Keep an eye so they don’t burn. Remove from oven and let cool. If you happened to get hazelnuts with skins, once cool, rub the skins off and discard. Using a knife or food processor, chop the hazelnuts to form a very coarse meal. Add salt and cardamom, and set aside.
Heat the sugar and butter together in a saucepan over medium heat, stirring frequently. Prepare a sheet pan with a layer of foil, then a layer of parchment on top as the mix will be sticky. Lay the matzo in one layer on top of the parchment. It is okay to break the pieces up to cover the whole pan.
Once the sugar and butter begin to boil, let boil for 3m stirring constantly. Be sure that the sugar and butter are homogenous, i.e. no butter floating on top. Pour the ‘toffee’ on top of the matzo and spread to cover. Place in oven and reduce heat to 350F. Bake for 15m, checking every few minutes to ensure it is not browning too quickly.
Remove from oven and top with chopped chocolate. Let the chocolate melt for 3 to 5m. Spread the chocolate evenly across the toffee. Sprinkle an even layer of the hazelnut mixture on top. While still warm, cut into desired shapes. Chill in fridge to set chocolate. Voila!

This looks AMAZING! I remember when I worked at the bakery on LI for a couple months a few years ago I made a billion flour less chocolate cakes for passover. BORING.
But what happened with the NO BUTTER rule?
Thank you for this recipe. I'll keep it for next passover.Every year, it's the same problem : find new recipes.But you know what, now we can find baking powder cacher for passover. Yes, incredible no?
Linda – If you have any 'no butter' Passover dessert recipes, send 'em my [email protected] – I hope you like the recipe! It worked perfectly this year, everyone was so stuffed from dinner they didn't have room for dessert anyways.If you have a chance, please do send me info on the baking powder for Passover. Very incredible!

The Boston Harbor Cruises' Majesty ran aground in Boston Harbor on Saturday. All 137 passengers were unharmed and transferred to the Asteria, another Boston Harbor Cruises vessel, according to the U.S. Coast Guard.
One couple's wedding reception was going aboard as the boat turned into disaster when their vessel ran aground. New husband Jamie Stern said the guests were just finishing dinner around 7 pm when the celebration came to a halt as the ship neared Georges Island.
The 113-foot Boston Harbor Cruises ship will be inspected by Coast Guard marine inspectors and investigation officers.
The ship did not appear to have been damaged Saturday when it ran aground near Georges Island about 7 p.m., the Coast Guard said.
Coast Guard Petty Officer Andrew Barresi says five boats operated by the Coast Guard, state police, state environmental police and the Massachusetts Port Authority helped transfer the passengers.
It’s unclear why the ship grounded. The bride and groom said they hope they get a refund, but for now they’re headed to Brazil for their honeymoon.
Boston Harbor Cruises "is fully cooperating with the Coast Guard in the investigation of the grounding," according to a news release.
The Massachusetts Environmental Police tweeted a photo of evacuated passengers aboard a ship named "Thomas Paine," with the "Majesty" in the background.

The eighth annual World Argus Day is nearly upon us. Fans of low-tech photography should really give this a try. Get your hands on an Argus C3 or one of their other models, and carry it with you on Friday, "Argust" 8th. Celebrate a classic American camera brand, and get re-acquainted with the mysteries of shooting film.
Argust Fever -- catch it!
Oh, holy crap, don't startle me like that. I'm still recovering from last year's Argust Day! And I still haven't fixed the C3. And now that I think about it, there may still be a partial roll sitting in the Super-75. Oh, well. I vow to take at least one picture with an Argus that day!
Recovering? I thought this was just a little photo celebration, not an epic Bacchanalian festival. It should attract more attention if it is.
I have a cheap, plastic, fixed-lens see-through Argus 520 point-n-click. Will it cause some kind of rend in the space-time continuum of Argus Day if I use that cheap thing on 8/8? I don't want to do anything to endanger us all.
Not at all, Duffy. We're passing around an Argus 75 among members of the flickr list, and that's a cheapo box camera with exactly two lens settings (shutter open, shutter closed.)It doesn't get much lower than that.

For an incoming freshmen to Lander University enrolling in the fall, the journey begins with the acceptance letter given to them in the spring. These incoming freshmen finally become official bearcats at the close of the summer. Lander introduces these freshmen to their campus home with the help of some highly trained professionals, the orientation leaders.
One of the things that orientation leaders will always do to impact the incoming freshmen that are a part of the student body is the friendships that most of the freshmen end up developing with their leaders. Later when class begins and the freshmen have questions or need help to settle in, they will know that they have a friend with experiences and knowledge to help them get through their first semester. Orientation leaders make the process of coming to university less frightening for freshmen and the leadership that the orientation leaders provide remind all students that Lander’s student body is a thriving and ever growing community where everyone is welcome.

Sitting on the Danube, with picturesque views across the water to the Romanian shore, sedate Silistra feels a little out on a limb and visitors are thin on the ground. There's more than meets the eye here, though. Silistra was an important city, known as Durostorum, during Roman times and served as a fortress for the Roman province of Moesia. Several hundred years later, around the turn of the first millennium, it reappeared as Drastar, a key city in the emerging Bulgarian empires of the time.
This rich historical heritage can be seen at the Archaeologicial Museum and in a preserved Roman tomb from the 4th century. Archaeological digs continue into the present day and each year unearth yet another treasure.
Your tour starts at 8:00am from your accommodation in Varna. The road passes through the beautiful Dobrudzha region.

It was built because of the need to further strengthen the Danube cities, when the Danube River was established as a natural border of the Ottoman Empire. After the fortress, you will continue to the town of Silistra on Danube River, one of the first towns to set up their own museums in Bulgaria.

The archaeological exhibition comprises prehistoric, ancient and medieval monuments.You will have a stroll through the city center, visiting the Kurshumlu Mosque, built during the first decades of the 17th century by Ottoman architects.

New South Endzone Seating at Lambeau Field for 2013!
These seats were constructed as part of the 2013 renovation of Lambeau Field. They are located in the South End Zone and Corner Areas of the stadium, and are above the 300 level.
They are regarded as more luxurious seating as they have seat backs and cupholders (unlike the bench seats in the 100 and 300 levels), as well as elevator access. They also have wider seats with the 600 level being 2 inches wider than the 700 level. These areas of the stadium also have greater quantities of restrooms and concessions per capita meaning shorter waits for use of those facilities.
They are in sections with three digit numbers starting with a 6 for the 600 level and a 7 for the 700 level.
The Terrace Suites were completed in 2013. Unlike the Private Suites described above, the Terrace Suites are situated in the endzone, specifically the 5000 level in the South endzone (for example 5068, 5070, etc). The Terrace Suites differ from the “Private Suites” in that they are open air viewing areas, whereas the Private Suites described above are completely enclosed glass viewing areas. Terrace Suites have a capacity of 10 to 12 persons. The guests in each Terrace Suite are seated in an open air section of the stadium and not protected from the elements. However, there is also an inside viewing area where guests can view the game from monitors. Also, unlike the Private Suites described above, where you purchase food from a catering menu, all food (plus fountain beverages and water) for Terrace Suite guests is included complimentary with the purchase price of the Terrace Suite. There is a location on the Terrace Suite level where patrons may select unlimited food, water, and fountain beverages from a myriad of choices. Alcoholic beverages and other beverages are also available for sale.
The terrace suites are sold on a unit basis, by the game or season, and are sold as part of a package of entertaining features and amenities. They are rarely sold on a seat by seat basis.

While San Diego is known as “America’s Finest City,” it’s also is home to the fourth highest homeless population in the nation, including the second-largest population of homeless veterans in the United States at 1,156 people.
An estimated 9,000 men and women sleep on the streets, in cars, and in emergency shelters.
What was already a major issue for the city became a public health crisis when the homeless population was hit with an outbreak of Hepatitis A.
Many community and political leaders have tried to address the problem of homelessness, but to this point, efforts have been ineffective.
While most San Diegans are familiar with the homeless through encounters from afar, local filmmaker Dennis Stein decided to get stories from them directly, which led to the making of Tony – The Movie, a film that features Tony Rodriguez, a local homeless man.
The documentary initially follows Tony through his typical day on the streets, showing the struggles to survive and stay out of legal trouble. Tony has a series of interviews with many individuals trying to improve the homeless situation throughout San Diego, as well as Houston, a city that has dramatically decreased its homeless population.
One of those interviewed by Tony was Councilmember Chris Ward, who highlighted the importance of the Regional Plan that the area is in the process of developing.
The goal of that plan is to get all the homeless-assistance organizations, government and nongovernment groups to work together cohesively.
“Until we’re all talking off of the same action plan, it’s a little difficult for me to get out there and sell to the voters, ‘Here’s what I need in addition to resources to get the job done,’” said Ward.
Stein spent a year and a half making the film, during which he learned about the best practices that will make a positive difference in the area’s homelessness population, and what efforts are underway locally.
In San Diego, the Regional HomelessTask Force is in the process of creating a well-studied, best practices-driven 5-year plan to end homelessness in the city.
The plan will be released in early 2018 with the second phase rolled out in July 2018.
At a local screening of the film, Councilmember Georgette Gomez suggested that those who want to help get involved in assisting the homeless go to city hall and hold their elected officials accountable for doing “the dirty work” to get this problem solved.

But wait 'til you catch the tentative name of his political party.
Kanye West has been accused of using his slavery apology tour to sell records when the real reason may be political. The rapper is campaigning for that 2024 U.S. presidency we thought (OK, hoped) he forgot.
Continuing his Chicago homecoming press tour, 'Ye sat down with DJ Pharris on Chicago's Power 92 Radio to discuss how he's still down with Trump's ability not to "f**k up the paper," despite not agreeing with all of his policies and his presidential aspirations, according to The Fader.
In his praise for Trump, he utterly disrespected Malcolm X, Gandhi and Martin Luther King Jr. by saying they were assassinated because "they were so righteous and so liberal that they f**kin' up the paper."
"If you f**kin' up the paper, your head gon' get knocked off," he fixed his lips to say.
Pharris also asked West if he was still eager to hop into the presidential campaign game.
"Yes, 100 percent; could happen [in 2024]," he told Pharris. But that's not all; the Ye rapper is not going to pigeonhole himself into the Democratic or Republican parties. He came up with his own.
Yes, this is a thing that's happening.
Y'all ready for the name?
Kanye has dubbed his new political party: The Birthday Party.
No, really, we need a minute.
He hinted at his focus: "I'm going to make sure the medical industry flourishes," he noted.

In this series of blog posts we examine the most common forms of phishing attacks and appropriate countermeasures to protect both individuals and organizations – in this post we explore Business Email Compromise and the potential fall-out for executives.
At the start of 2016, the FBI warned that it had seen a 270% increase in CEO scams, also known as Business Email Compromise (BEC) scams.
With these scams, savvy cyber criminals are taking the time to harvest personal information and learn the processes within a company. Once armed with this information, they target carefully selected employees with a spear phishing email designed to get access to confidential business information or transfer money into an unknown account.
Ubiquiti Networks – the finance department was targeted by a fraudulent request from an outside entity that resulted in $46.7 million being transferred to an overseas account held by external third parties after an employee was impersonated.
Mattel – a finance executive wired more than $3 million to the Bank of Wenzhou after the ‘new CEO’ requested a vendor payment. According to reports, Mattel quickly realized that it had been victim of a fraudulent request and worked with Chinese authorities to get the money back.
FACC – the Austrian aircraft parts maker, whose customers included Airbus, Boeing and Rolls-Royce, reported that they had fired their chief executive after cyber criminals stole €50 million ($55.7 million) in an email scam.
Agari research found that more than 85% of spear phishing attacks are enabled by legitimate cloud services, and the majority do not contain a malicious link or attachment, which make them a lot harder to detect.
Strengthen Internal Processes – To counter the threat of this type of attack, organizations must introduce policies that ensure that no one person or single email can authorize transactions. Instead, there needs to be a mixture of communication channels verifying any request for confidential or financial information.
Multi-Layered Approach – There is not a single solution available that can solve the breadth of the email security problem. What’s needed is multiple controls – a cocktail of complementary solutions that provides a multi-layered approach to cyber security where prevention, early detection, attack containment, and recovery measures are considered collectively.
Establish Per-message Authenticity – Organizations need a solution that considers sophisticated data science and email security intelligence in order to reinstill trust into the email ecosystem and establish the ‘true’ identity of an email’s sender.

From behind the wrapping paper doorway, I saw the glow of the Christmas tree lights and I knew magic awaited. My parents, in their genius, “wrapped us kids in” so we would not peak for Santa or packages until it was time. We’d sit by the paper like meowing, hungry cats, pretty much pawing for the unveil. When it was time, we’d burst through the paper like linebackers at the big game. BAAM!
Last month, Oprah, Will Smith and Stephen King were all in DC. Our Nation’s Capital powerhoused the National Book Festival and the opening of the National Museum of African American History and Culture: big people and big moments. However, true to Brave Tutu, I’m going to focus on a small striking moment: a kid with a self-made cape. This child ignored stretching lines for famous authors like Katherine Patterson and Salman Rushdie. Instead, he laughed and laughed, chasing his friend as the red power source flowed behind him.

Consumer sentiment dropped to a six-month low at the beginning of July.
June's early reading was the highest it has been since March, moving opposite of expectations.
The report considers consumers' attitudes about economic prospects.
Consumer sentiment dropped below expectations at the beginning of July to a six-month low on rising fears regarding the Trump Administration's trade battles.
Consumer sentiment fell to 97.1, according to the University of Michigan's monthly survey of consumers. Economists expected a reading of 98.2, according to Reuters.
"The darkening cloud on the horizon, however, is due to rising concerns about the potential negative impact of tariffs on the domestic economy," Richard Curtin, Surveys of Consumers chief economist, said.
Over 50 percent of those in the top third of the income distribution cited escalating trade tensions as a reason for a future decline in the pace of economic growth and an uptick in inflation. The top third of the income distribution accounts for half of consumer spending.
In the most recent trade spat, U.S. President Donald Trump proposed a 10 percent tariff on Chinese goods which value $200 billion in trade annually.
June's preliminary reading was the highest the measure has been since hitting 101.4 in March, more than a point above May's reading of 98.

Lupe Valdez and Andrew White are on track for a runoff in the Democratic primary for governor, according to early vote returns released Tuesday evening.
Valdez, the former Dallas County sheriff, led White, the son of late Gov. Mark White, by 11 percentage points — 42 percent to 31 percent. They were far ahead of the seven other Democrats vying to challenge Republican Gov. Greg Abbott, who is seeking a second term.
Abbott was easily winning his primary, besting two little-known challengers with 90 percent of the vote.
If no Democratic candidate receives more than 50 percent of the primary vote, the race will go to a May 22 runoff. Whoever becomes the nominee will have a daunting challenge in trying to topple Abbott. He remains the most popular statewide elected official and has a whopping $41 million in his campaign coffers.
The Democratic primary for governor was slow to take off last year, with bigger names — such as U.S. Rep. Joaquin Castro of San Antonio and his brother, former U.S. Housing Secretary Julián Castro — declining to run. Valdez and White did not enter the race until days before the December filing deadline, and by then it was a crowded, muddled affair featuring seven other less-prominent contenders.
The ensuing few months brought out a couple of clear distinctions between the two candidates. As Valdez’s fundraising flopped, White emerged as the race’s financial leader, buoyed by a $1 million loan to himself but also receiving more contributions than her. White also picked up endorsements from the editorial boards of some of the biggest newspapers in the state, all of which indicated dissatisfaction with Valdez’s preparedness and policy knowledge.
Still, she received support from a number of traditionally Democratic groups, such as the Texas AFL-CIO and Planned Parenthood. She also got the endorsement of Joaquin Castro and several other prominent Democratic officials.
It has not been entirely smooth sailing for White, either. Since word of his interest in the race got out in November, he has been dogged by questions about his personal stance against abortion. That makes some Democrats uneasy, though he has insisted he respects a woman’s right to choose and has promised he would not pursue further abortion restrictions if elected.
The seven other Democratic gubernatorial candidates on the ballot are Austin businessman James Jolly Clark, former Balch Springs Mayor Cedric Davis, Houston businessman Joe Mumbach, Dallas investment adviser Adrian Ocegueda, Dallas businessman Jeffrey Payne, former congressional candidate Tom Wakely of San Antonio and Grady Yarbrough, a perennial candidate who unexpectedly won the Democratic nomination for railroad commissioner in 2016.
