If you’re lucky enough to get a company car for work, you already reap plenty of benefits. You don’t have a car payment; you don’t need to pay for gas, tolls, or maintenance; and you don’t have to put wear and tear on your own vehicle. However, while there are plenty of benefits to driving a company vehicle, it’s still important that you understand the rules, laws, and expectations of being behind the wheel of that vehicle. Before you graciously accept the keys from your employer, here are four things you need to know about your company car.
1. Your driving history could have an impact on this benefit.
If you have a poor driving history, your employer could decide not to give you a company car. At the same time, if you violate the driving laws and end up with a specific amount of traffic violations while you already have the company car, the company could decide to take it away from you. Before you sell your personal vehicle because of a sought-after company car, it’s important for you to determine if your current driving record could play a role in the future of this benefit.
2. Know the insurance details.
Every company that offers company cars will have some sort of policy in place, and this includes insurance. While most companies will pay for the insurance of the vehicle, it’s still important for you as a driver to understand what that insurance is and what it covers in the event you’re ever in an accident. According to a Detroit Worker’s compensation attorney, “Every employee should always have a basic understanding of their rights when it comes to their job or their job benefits. This not only helps in the event of an accident, but could also help in any situation.” If you have a company car, be sure you have a copy of the insurance card and a solid understanding of what that coverage entails.
3. You may not get a choice.
When you purchase your own personal vehicle, you have a say so in what make and model that vehicle is. However, most companies don’t offer you a choice when it comes to a company vehicle. Instead, they provide you with the vehicle of their choosing, and most of them tend to choose the same make and model for all company vehicles. If you are picky about what type of vehicle you drive, having a company car may not be a perk you want.
4. There may be rules and restrictions.
The rules and restrictions of company cars will vary based on your employer, but it’s important for you as the car driver to know what you can and cannot do with the vehicle. For instance, are you only supposed to use the company vehicle for work-related instances and events, or are you allowed to use it for personal reasons? It’s important for you to know this before making an assumption.
After all, the last thing you want to do is take a company vehicle on a personal vacation and find out that you are being reprimanded for that decision. If you don’t want to be limited to what you can and cannot do with your vehicle, then you need to either decline the company vehicle or have a solid understanding of what’s expected of you with that vehicle.
When it comes to company vehicles, companies tend to work in two ways: they either provide you with an actual car or they provide you with a monthly stipend for a company car. Both of these options have different pros and cons associated with them, so it’s important for you to find out what your options are, and if offered both options, determine which is the right choice for you.
Some people prefer not to deal with the hassle of getting a car, so they would prefer to just be handed one by the company. However, other drivers like to have a say in the make, model, and functionality of the vehicle they drive, which is when a stipend will be beneficial. Talk with your employer and get a full understanding of your options.
Having a company vehicle does have its perks, but it also has some drawbacks. If you are offered a company vehicle, the best thing to do is gather all the information you can first before making a final decision. After all, the more knowledge you have, the smarter decision you will make.

Last weekend we visited our fifth and final palace in Seoul, Changgyeonggung.
Changgyeonggung was built as a residence for King Sejong’s father, King Taejong, in 1418. During the Japanese invasions between 1592-1598 the palace was burned. It was later rebuilt in 1616. Changgyeonggung and Changdeokgung shared the back garden (Huwon) and were collectively known as the East Palace. When Korea’s last emperor moved to Changdeokgung in 1907, Changgyeonggung was transformed into a park by the Japanese. It even had a zoo! The demotion of the palace to a park was seen as a great offense, and the presence of wild animals on the grounds was insulting. It wasn’t until 1983 that the zoo was removed and Changgyeonggung was given its status as a palace again. However, the palace still feels more like a park and a botanical garden is still present. The park was my favorite feature of the palace and really the only reason I wanted to visit. For the 1,000₩ admission I would go back just to walk around the park again.
Chundangji Pond was once a royal farming plot but was replaced with a pond by the Japanese.
I thought the pond was really lovely.
Daeonsil (great glass house) housed the botanical garden that was added in 1909. It was modeled after The Crystal Palace in London and is still used today. It looked like it could use a little TLC but was an interesting change from the Korean architecture usually on display at the palaces.
Changgyeonggung’s spring beauty was an unexpected surprise and we both enjoyed strolling through the park. We briefly took a look at the buildings that are on the grounds but as is usual, they are simply husks of the history that once occurred. Most of the buildings were rebuilt after another fire in 1834 and were restored in the 1980s. There are only three structures that date back to the 1616 rebuild: Myeongjeongjeon, Myeongjeongmun, and Honghwamun.
The palace’s most interesting history is the murder of Crown Prince Sado. Sado was born mentally ill and often killed servants during fits of rage. The family worried about the consequences of allowing him to rule, so his father, King Yeongjo, locked him in a rice chest where he starved to death. Sado’s son, Jeongjo, succeeded Yeongjo and became a respected ruler of the Joseon Dynasty.
On our way to Changgyeonggung we discovered a small cuban shop, The Ultimate Cuban Sandwich, and bought a sandwich to split. We enjoyed our first one so much that on our way back to the subway we each bought a whole sandwich to eat! One thing we really miss about Austin is the sandwich diversity. Here our best bet is Subway… pretty sad statement. So the discovery of a tasty sandwich was a huge victory! We may even visit them again before we leave Korea.

Pennsylvania State Police say the fire was reported at around 4:30 a.m. at the home on Route 2035 in Lenoxville.
Responders reported flames shooting from the structure when they arrived at the scene. The body of a person who had been in the home was found after the blaze was put out. The name of the victim has not been released.
Authorities said the extent of damage to the structure may make it difficult to determine a cause. Meanwhile, an autopsy is planned to positively identify the victim and determine the cause of death.

31 years old. I am a mechanical engineer.
A friend of mine, Jared Crafton, raved about the atmosphere and the results he had seen since joining. I had been “going” to the Y and running on my own without much success, so I figured why not give it a shot.
My ultimate goal was to increase my energy level and get stronger. I have a 3.5 year old boy right now, with another son on the way at the end of September. I also wanted to break out of the rut I had fallen into with working and eating poorly.
This is an easy one, it is the collective group suffering that goes on each day that brings me back. When I was at the gym or running on the street, no one was around to push me, or check to see if I had done what I had set out to do that day. This is something that I missed from my days in rowing. When you are in the boat, you know each guy in there is going as hard as he can, not for himself, but for the other guys struggling alongside him. Yes the workouts can be hard, but having a group of like-minded savages gutting it out with you is an element that cannot be understated.
Consistency. CrossFit has become an important part of my life that I plan a lot of my schedule around. The results that I have seen thus far are the positive feedback I need in order to justify the sacrifices I make. Every time I step on the scale, lift a heavier weight, or look in the mirror, it is a small victory and reminder that what I am doing is working. The small victories I see on a daily basis build upon one another and drive me to keep going.
In a perfect world I am able to make it to 4-5 classes a week. My wife works in consulting and with her travel schedule, this can be a challenge sometimes. The limiting factor is definitely my daily life. Even when I was starting out, I was not missing long stretches of days due to soreness or fear of injury. The scaled movements, in-class training on barbell technique, and focus on stretching kept my body in a place where I felt comfortable coming in that often.
Nutrition and accountability has played the biggest role in my success. I say accountability, because prior to CrossFit, there was no incentive to prevent me from making poor nutrition choices. Now it is much easier for me to opt for the healthier choice, because what would be the point of going in and pushing myself if I am just going to negate that hard work a couple of hours later? Engaging in some combo of running, rowing, burpees, and wall balls all before 6am puts a humbling perspective on the choices I make in my diet. It has a snowball effect too, where I am now prepping meals and researching what types of foods work well for cutting or maintaining weight. Silly to put in the work on the front end and not optimize all of the possible rewards.
I started CrossFit on January 18th, 2018. Thus far I have lost 60lbs. I did not start out with a target weight in mind, only the desire to look and feel better. The physical transformation is a byproduct of the hard work, but it is the mental transformation that has been most profound. I had reached a point in my life where I was very unhappy with the way that I felt about myself. Being in social settings with friends or family was torture at times because I had so much anxiety built up and centered on how I felt about myself. I can remember times where I would be standing around at a party or barbeque and start sweating from all of the negative thoughts in my head about how people perceived me. CrossFit has given me my confidence and real personality back. I now look forward to getting together with huge groups of friends and family because ultimately that is the stuff that makes life worth living. I cannot truly put into words the impact this mindset shift has had on me.
Walking in the door was the biggest hurdle for me. I still remember sitting in my car in the parking lot before my first class, trying to come up with any reasonable excuse to text Jared on why I could not make it. Finally I just said, what do you want in life? Do you want to continue on the trajectory you are on or do you want to give something new a shot, which has a real chance of making you a better person. Man am I glad I walked through that door.
Thus far the most memorable experience I have is competing in my first Open workout. The 18.1 workout from this year had me very excited after watching the unveiling online. Rowing is a strength of mine and that was a huge part of the workout. More than that though, the atmosphere the Open creates is truly unique to CrossFit. Being judged by one of your peers while a bunch of other classmates are doing the same workout around you is really cool. Hearing words of encouragement yelled at you and around you is very uplifting. I look forward to the Open next year to see how far I have come.
Never stop being active. It is far easier to maintain a decent level of fitness as opposed to falling completely off the wagon and having to start from ground zero. Be consistent, you are not going to see the results you want in a week and it will be VERY hard at times. Just keep making all of those little decisions on a daily basis and you will get there in the long run. The results and the lifestyle following that code will afford you is so worth it, do not give up.
The accomplishment I am most proud of would be the 1k time trial I did on the rower. It came at the tail end of a workout centered on deadlifting, but it was a time that qualified me for 3rd on The Swamp wall. Being able to see my name up there is cool and a point of pride for me, but it also makes me hungry to see where else I may be able to sneak my name in down the road.
The majority of my goals right now at CrossFit are movement related. I can remember being able to write Rx next to the first complete workout I did, and the proud feeling it gave me (crazy what 2 letters can do to you!). The movements I am most eager to bring under my belt are pull-ups and toes-to-bar. I would also like to have my name up on the board in each of the rowing distance categories.
Just Show Up! CrossFit gets a bad rap sometimes and is very often misunderstood. I say that because I used to be one of those people. My perception of CrossFit before joining was a bunch of meatheads throwing dumbbells around, doing some weird looking pull-ups (butterfly, as I would come to realize). In reality it is a group of good people that immediately have your back and want to see you succeed. I was way out of shape when I started and was really nervous about not being able to do any of the exercises. There are scaled movements for everything and the coaching staff goes out of their way to make sure you find the right workout and feel safe.
I want CrossFit to fill the void that opened up when I stopped rowing in college. I am not talking the same level of fitness or scores that I saw on the rower. I mean the daily struggle to improve mentally and physically at something, and the ability to rise to the occasion. There were countless times out on the water at the midway point or at some milestone during a piece when a decision would have to be made. Am I going to continue at this pace, am I going to ease off, or am I going to get faster and push the envelope? Right now I am missing the mental and physical gear that allows me to push the envelope. That power train is not something that is built overnight; it takes an accumulation of seemingly insignificant decisions during workouts and a familiarity with the movements and technique. There is no better feeling after a workout when you know you made a decision during it to push the envelope and go a little deeper into that well. The things you learn about yourself in those moments are both powerful and undeniable.

Talk about a great product! This generator cover is practical, functional and easy to use. It is made from heavy duty polyester and coated with vinyl. The reviewers all claim that the material feels heavy and features an elastic bottom that allows the cover to fit snug around the generator. The fabric is water resistant and will protect the generator from rain, snow, sun damage and more. The dimensions of this cover are 37”Lx25”Wx27.5”H, and it’s designed to fit generators that are up to 15,000 watts. You can use the cover while the generator is in storage or while it’s working – one more reason why this cover is user-friendly and well worth the cost.
After researching this product, I found that there were no negative reviews on it. In fact, this product has a 5-star rating to date. With no design flaws, this generator cover is quality-made, reliable and handy.
This product is beaming with positives, even though its simple function is to protect a generator. But for anyone that owns a generator, you know how difficult it can be to keep the machine in good condition. While in storage, it’s subject to dust collection or weather damage, which is why you want to protect your investment and extend its lifespan. All reviewers rave about the quality of the material, saying that it’s heavy duty and repels moisture.
With the brown color, it also reflects the sunlight better than a darker hue. The cover fits over the generator with little effort and will even keep the wheels protected. Best of all, this simple solution offers peace of mind that your generator is safe, no matter where it is stored.
The only negative issue I found with this product is that it does carry a strong odor in its initial days. This won’t be a problem for most consumers, as the generator cover will be kept outdoors or in storage. However, it is worth noting so that if the cover will be in an enclosed area such as a garage or basement, you may want to let the cover air out for a few days.
I would definitely recommend this generator weather cover for anyone who has a generator in storage. Generators don’t come cheap and it’s important that they work, which is why a simple cover is a necessary purchase. With an elastic bottom and strong canvas material, you can pop on the cover and never look back! If you want to compare the product, you can always check out generator covers offered by DuroMax and Champion, although this cover has the best feedback.
Please share with us any of your questions or comments concerning this Generator Cover review! For those interested, here’s the manufacturer link for the Formosa Covers Generator Cover In Taupe.

I've always liked the water, but it wasn't a big part of my life until I was introduced to Underwater Hockey. That was the gateway drug to fin swimming, which led to freediving on our coast and open water swimming for fun and fitness.
How did you discover the River Huggers?
A good diving friend of mine, Josh Humbert, told me about swimming with the River Huggers. I joined him and found it was a lot more fun than swimming laps in a pool.
You have the open water look down—with snorkel, lights that look like earmuffs and big old fins. From the surface it often looks like a floatation device connected to a submarine crossing the river.
Ha! Ya, I swim with the Huggers to help train for freediving and Underwater Hockey. I use the gear I would for my typical pool workout – snorkel, fins, and mask. Last summer I started using a buoy for the first time. I didn't like how it pinned me to the surface, so I put a longer tether on it so I could swim freely underwater. Instead of being the disappearing/reappearing swimmer, I'm now the ghost buoy.
When you swim with the Huggers you have a method. The first lap is all underwater and kicking and the second is about breathing? What do you actually do and why?
It would be awesome to do a 400-yard under! I'd only need to surface to see where I was going. Actually, in trying to avoid a pool workout I did develop a little structure to my crossings, an ascending workout. Each crossing would start out at cruise pace. Let the pod get into rhythm, stretch out, warm up. Around halfway my path is generally clear enough I can start swimming unders. A timer would really help here. Alternating 15 to 17 seconds under, and 2-3 breaths (5-7sec) on the surface. Repeat until you’re across. If I'm feeling slow, it may slide to more 50/50 under/over.
On the surface, I almost always do flutter kick, underneath a dolphin kick for core strength. I'll do this same routine with my kick board on another crossing, and with my coach in my mind saying "Last one, fast one!"
If I need to throw on some sprints, I'll do intervals with my kickboard, pushing it sideways under the surface like a bulldozer. That way, I can stay with the pod. But it makes a hell of a wake. It's a really good reason to do it in open water. You may wonder what I do with my kickboard after I crossed with it. I glued some strong magnets to my board and my buoy. I just click them together.
I think about the clarity of the water, its movement, the people around me, and the things we find in it. Any thoughts not in the water tend to float away.
In winter, you are still swimming in open water. Tell us about your recent swim in Puget Sound. Do you hope to swim all through the winter outdoors?
Yes, while the main Hugger group has stopped for the season, some of us continue to swim weekly as the temperature has slowly dropped. The Columbia, at this time, is around 42°. With proper shore support, I can swim skins for 20 to 25 minutes. It can be a jolt to get in, but once adjusted to the temperature I can enjoy the swim and see how the river has changed that day. Being acclimated to these temperatures has led to some fun trips with friends. Most recently, in the South Puget Sound. We swam in the salty water, explored derelict boats, and collected oysters.
What has been your favorite swim of the past year? Is there one that was particularly memorable?
I would have to say my swims in Lost Lake and Timothy Lake. Although not very long swims, the water clarity makes exploring its shores fun, and with great people, makes good photos.
Do you have a particular swim you dream of doing?
Out on the coast I've spent a lot of time freediving around Haystack Rock. I usually kayak or ride on a friend’s zodiac to get off shore. I've swam through the surf half way out to meet some friends on a boat, but never all the way. I'd like to swim skins all the way out, around Haystack and back. Having fins would make it an assisted swim, but I don't care, my fins are a part of me. The hardest part of doing that swim, for me, would be resisting the urge to stop, relax my breath, and dive down to explore with the freedom of not having a wetsuit.
Tell us about your boat. How does she fit into your life?
I’ve found the more time I spend in or on the water, the happier I am. With this thought, I have my sailboat. I plan to fix it up and eventually live on it full time, with dreams of going south to Baja, and across the Pacific.
I'm a custom metal fabricator. I form, cut, drill, and weld aluminum, stainless and steel into useful items. I was building commercial beer brewing equipment but I'm currently looking for something else. Hopefully next summer I’ll be able keep this fun morning swim routine with a new employer.
How long can you hold your breath under water?
My answer is long enough. I can hold my breath long enough to stalk fish, pull scallops from rocks, and catch crab. You can cover a lot of ground in a minute if you move efficiently. During a hockey practice, 15 seconds is a long time to hold your breath. It’s a fast game and play moves around a lot.

The Montessori Method is a philosophy of teaching children that was developed in Italy in the early 1900s by Dr. Maria Montessori, a wonderfully bright and perceptive woman physician. Montessori developed special “toys” which we call the Montessori Material, that allow the child to teach himself what he is ready and eager to learn, by guiding him using his own curiosity.
The Montessori philosophy is based on the understanding that children are just naturally curious and given the opportunity to “figure things out” they will learn. Equally important, the philosophy recognizes that each child is unique and will learn according to his own developmental rhythm. The material provides the means for the child to develop and learn at his own pace.
What is remarkable about the Montessori Method, is not only how well the children develop both academically and socially using this philosophy, but also the pleasure that the children derive from their experience within a Montessori environment.
The Montessori Method of teaching is used successfully in thousands of schools around the world.
At the Montessori School of Pointe Claire we use the philosophy and material developed by Maria Montessori to provide a positive and fulfilling learning experience for young children that will meet their developmental needs at the appropriate time in their lives, and prepare them to enjoy schooling in the future and to succeed at school after they have graduated from our program. Our program is designed to provide a smooth transition from Montessori into the regular school system.
For the child what he feels is that he is coming to play with his friends at Montessori. He is comfortable in the environment knowing that he is being cared for by loving adults. The child does not feel that his learning is work at all, rather that it is interesting and fun activities to do with his friends.
At our daycare we have the full range of Montessori material designed for young children. In addition we also have a wide range of toys that complement the Montessori material and add to the enjoyment of the child. We believe that all learning is play, and all play is learning. Click to view the curriculum for prekindergarten, preschool and early socialization.
During the time at Montessori, the child will be learning social skills, moral values, will develop language skills both in French and English, will be stimulated intellectually and start learning the basics of reading (phonetics) and arithmetic (mathematical concepts). He will also develop his motor skills particularly through use of the Montessori material for fine motor development and with our physical education program for gross motor skill development.
Parents are encouraged to learn about the Montessori philosophy. The teachers will host an evening at the start of our academic year to explain the material and their classroom routine. The continuity of activities from school to home is encouraged.
During the year the children will use the following material (depending on the child’s age). The teacher demonstrates the material to the child, and invites him to try it. The teacher is available for instruction and guidance where needed. The child learns at his/her own pace. The children are encouraged to use all the various material in the classroom: however, ultimately the child must choose what it is he/she will do, according to his/her interest at the time. This is the best, and the most enjoyable, way to learn.

We loved ourselves, once, when our ears were young and flush with sound, when every note we heard flooded us with joy, when spearsharp guitars lanced our anguish and drums bashed death into our virgin chests as we sang and rode the blessed clatter straight up the skyline dead on towards heaven’s highest peaks. We lived for the sake of living for the sake of feeling for the sake of nothing. We were lit on the fleeting light of desire-scorched youth.
Our holy trajectory stuttered when the music stopped. We learned it never was—and so it ceased to be. There is no heaven and no great art, no substance and therefore no lift and so we fell, desperate to glide, our course unknown. We were intimate with fear. We sank beneath the burden of all the wilted hopes of God and through aeons of regret and failure we finally graduated from that brainfucked void with no guidance save some meager credits and an edict seared into the depths of our essence that roared—the first and only commandment!—to slouch out into the world and salvage what we could. We paid dearly for years of proud and stupid rituals. We still pay.
We struck out with momentum as great as our slight frame could muster, but our sickly resolve did not last. It had no chance in that cruel postcollege waste where there were no friends, only rivals and bedfellows, and together we fresh-faced ghouls stalked midnight streets, savage and undershaven. Our debts fell too heavy against meager hours in crêperies. Our descent had become too steep, reality too real and though we had no home, to home we went. Desperate and ashamed we gave ourselves over to be guilt-threshed and devoured by the nags of Hell. We might have died. To death we would have proudly gone.
No sooner did we arrive than our ears, still soaked with music we could no longer hear nor remember, were rent by a deafening howl of banshee scorned, a furious mother of angst that came tearing at our pride and style and we knew then as we should have known that we were doomed to wander restless through the world in search of a chill basement where cloves and Panda Bear were de rigueur, a basement we would never find, a basement we will hunger for until death sweeps the flesh from our bones.
But still our heart was proud! The smallest sliver of a child’s hope still lived within, and though its cage was wrapped in steel and ice, and though that cage was struck by every weapon from every angle, it lived, it could not be marred. That hope held in full the scope and breadth of our nobility in blood and achievement, in stillness and in violence. It fell with us through the ages, muted and intangible, and we were allowed no record of its survival but the chestfierce thumping of the glacious meteor within us that was our savior and our undoing.
We fell, we fell, to depths inconceivable by any mind. We fell down slopes of Saturdays spent basking in our descent. We buried thoughts of pleasant times in shallow graves of crushed cans and slayed swarms of episodes, blinking them down one by one as the cold transmissions’ glow flashed SOS across our blank visage at 60 Hz. We fell past broken homes and forgotten pets, we fell for centuries through slime and honey and soured water. The cold of nothing froze our naked forms and searing heat glazed our lungs until all feeling was drained from our temperament. We had no recourse. There would be no curtain to strike us from this abysmal stage.
And so we fall. To this moment, though time has left us, we soar asymptotically through the aether towards the nadir of our existence—always approaching, yet never to arrive. All we have to mark our progress are the reflexively wretched screams jarred loose from our innermost reserves. Sleep is but semiconscious writhing in swathes of ghoulish hellfire. We are made hungry by the spectres of our sins, and though we gorge our pangs are never sated.
There is no heaven and no great art.
Here lay the shattered remnants of our souls: a play-by-play of David Duchovny’s “Hell or Highwater” in its entirety.
This article reads extremely pretentious. Maybe if there was more substance it would be better. Unfortunately, all it serves is the writer.

Firstly, did you know that coffee beans aren’t actually beans, but the seeds of any one of more than 3,000 varieties of the Coffea genus of plant.
You might be familiar with Arabica and Robusta, but there are many more types of coffee plants that are grown and harvested for their different characteristics.
Arabica is the staple for Specialty Coffee, for the wide selection of good quality beans available from all kinds of countries and geographies. For producers and roasters, Arabica offers broad choices for flavour and the ability to select just the right bean for the desired results.
Some coffee trees grow up to 10m tall, others are more shrub-like. They can all differ in leaf size, shape and colour. Some have deep, vivid red fruit or “cherries” when ripe, some can be purple, orange, golden-yellow or even pink.
Varieties of coffee trees are selected to cater to the specific requirements and location of the farm. Most of the world’s coffee is grown close to the Equator (between the Tropic of Capricorn & Tropic of Cancer) and in high-altitude locations, ideally with consistent rainfall and milder climates.
Selection or breeding of a coffee to grow is influenced by factors such as soil type, acreage, rainfall, altitude, bean yield, time-to-maturity, and resistance to pests and drought. Some varieties are proprietary plants that have been developed by specific farmers and co-ops, meaning they are a copyrighted cultivar that can only be grown with permission.
Seasonal influences (such as pests, disease, and climate change) can also greatly affect bean quality from one crop to the next.
The sheer scale of choices before the beans have even been harvested or processed is mind-boggling - something to consider the next time you savour a brew of your favorite coffee.

Why are you running and why should people vote for you? Like many others in our community, I have an interest in how our city operates and the direction it’s taken. Prior to first being elected alderman in Ward 1 four years ago, our neighborhood faced unacceptable issues. We re-established the Oakland Neighborhood Watch Association, where I was elected president. We initiated programs designed to bring neighbors together, improve safety and awareness to reduce crime and due to our many successes, I was asked to run for alderman. I did and won against an opponent that had been unable to address our concerns. As promised, I am a proactive and effective member of the council, building bridges and fostering positive relationships to better serve the residents of Ward 1. Fellow alderman Ken Kinsella and I work well together. We get things done with little delay. It’s important to work together, which benefits our ward in ways that divided can never accomplish. I hope for the opportunity to continue my service to Belleville’s ward 1 residents and businesses.
What is the most important issue facing your town? How would you approach it? Economic development, growing our community is one very important concern for Belleville. We must continue to look for ways to strengthen our local businesses, improve communication and develop areas in and around Belleville to encourage investment into the future strength of our community. The health of our city depends on safe neighborhoods, job and career opportunities, entertainment choices and attractive recreational areas. These attributes among others help make our community a great place to live. I will continue to help make Belleville a safer and more rewarding place to live, work and raise our kids.
Under what circumstances, if any, would you raise taxes or fees in the municipality? Please explain. I am a resident of Belleville. I live here, I work here and I certainly pay taxes here. No tax increase or fee increase is ever taken lightly and can only be considered necessary when all other efforts or options have been exhausted. I will always oppose any tax increase or fee increase that I do not believe is absolutely necessary. My record shows I have opposed past fee increases, and the last tax increase passed by our council was mandated by the state to fund pension obligations for our police and firefighters.
Crime has been an issue in parts of the metro-east. What is the best way to stop the problem in and around your community? Safety in our community is definitely an important issue to each of us. We must always look for ways to make our city and neighborhoods safer. Community policing is an effective policy that increases communication between citizens and our police. Awareness and communication helps us remain safe. But also we must continue to staff and equip our police department appropriately. I serve on the Police and Fire Committee, where we continue to discuss and implement ways to improve our police department’s capabilities. Our police department has a newly expanded, modern facility and we have recently added six new police officers, with others beginning the process. I also support creating an auxiliary police unit that will help add manpower to our department, freeing up our officers and providing more safety during events.
In recent years, the city has granted various tax incentives to businesses. Explain whether you would support or oppose tax incentives for businesses. Instances exist where I would not support tax incentives to businesses. I certainly would not be in favor of any incentive where the citizens, the taxpayers of Belleville do not benefit from the investment. I would only support very limited incentives as an investment to encourage development or improvements that foster growth of Belleville’s existing businesses or the creation of future economic opportunities. Growth is fundamental to the health of our community. I will continue to support infrastructure improvements that attract new investments and growth opportunities and only support those incentives that will benefit Belleville taxpayers, judged on a case by case basis. Projects deserving of our investment should provide a significant increase in sales tax revenue or jobs for our community. I believe in a build it first philosophy, no development/no incentive. No incentive given until the project actually becomes a reality.

The family that own the cottages were really friendly. Would definitely recommend and would love to go again!
Lovely views and in a good location to shops, nice friendly pub up the road, the Bryntirion Inn, which did a lovely roast dinner and plenty to see and do... definitely coming back.
The cottage had everything we needed and if we didn't help was just a text away. On arrival we were left some milk, tea and coffee to make a drink which was a lovely touch.There was even toilet roll, hand wash, washing up liquid, foil and cling film ready and waiting for us. the cottage was large and spacious and we had a bathroom and a shower room which was good so there was no queuing for the bathroom. The views from the cottage were spectacular and we had great weather. Bala centre was only 3 miles away and had the most amazing lake which you could go out quite far swimming. The kids loved it. You can also spend all day at the lake for the cost of £5 parking and picnic. There was lots of other areas to explore. I would definitely recommend going to this cottage it was wonderful.
Second time we have visited will go again.
Only problem was that Bala is rundown with closed Tourist Information!!
Already looking at booking again.
Very clean accommodation could not fault it at all.
This wonderful terraced, stone-built, barn conversion cottage is located on a 220-acre farm in the foothills of the Berwyn Mountains and is one of seven on the same site.
This lovely cottage is ideal for a short break or longer for a couple or friends and provides the perfect base for walking and exploring the stunning countryside and the Snowdonia National Park.
The cottage is modern in styling and offers comfortable accommodation with a well-appointed kitchen and a good-sized sitting room with a cosy dining area.
The sitting room has the added benefit of a large comfy corner sofa which doubles as a sofa bed and with a ground floor wet room, offers flexibility for an additional guest or may suit someone with limited mobility when it comes to stairs.
Upstairs is a lovely, light and bright double bedroom and a modern, well-appointed bathroom.
Outside is a front patio area with seating, a lovely place to take in the morning air and enjoy an early morning coffee, listening to the birds and wildlife waking.
Bala's pretty town centre is only three miles away and offers an array of shops, pubs, tea rooms and restaurants.
The cottage is perfectly located to enjoy the fishing, watersports activities and sailing available at Llyn Tegid, Bala Lake, or for something more adrenaline fuelled, there is the National Whitewater Centre, just a short drive away.
The area is also great for walking, with some fantastic walks from the cottage, cycling, and mountain biking with Coed y Brenin, the renowned mountain bike centre a little further away.
Further afield, why not visit the town of Blaenau Ffestiniog and take the world-famous Ffestiniog narrow gauge steam train to the harbour town of Porthmadog?
Alternatively, a visit to the Llechwedd Slate Caverns, which is now also the home of Zipworld Titan, the longest 4-man zip in Europe, Bounce Below, an underground trampoline and Zipworld Caverns.

True story. I know you will think this is a lie, but I swear on a stack of Ramones albums that it is not.
UK manager Dennis Muirhead paid me his yearly visit at Columbia Records in the late 90′s. We’d met back in ’85 when I’d first joined Elektra and he always stopped by when he came through town. One of his clients at the time was Stuart Colman. Stuart lived then in Nashville and had produced many successful country acts, but had prior UK hits with Shakin’ Stevens. Dennis gave me a package including all his producers latest discographies which I browsed while catching up. I noticed Stuart had started his career in the 60′s with The Shadows. So I said to Dennis, hey this guy goes back a bit, is he English? Affirmative. I proceeded to say I wish these fellows would list all those really early engineering jobs they would have started out doing prior to that first producer opportunity. “I mean, Dennis, he could have worked on something obscure like…..Pinkerton’s Assorted Colours or something”. I just grabbed that fun, eccentric example out of my head.
Dennis looks me square in the eye and says “He was IN Pinkerton’s Assorted Colours”. Silence. Neither of us could believe what had just transpired. “You’re not kidding are you, well call him now”. He suggested one better, that I ring his place asking for him as a member of the band, which I did. I let Stuart know fairly fast that Dennis was there with me, and we had a very nice chat. I mailed him this jukebox tab, he autographed it and sent it straight back.
As for the group, I was interested because of the name. When I saw their first single ‘Mirror Mirror’ entering the UK charts, I had to hear them asap. But it wasn’t to be for ages. Even though released Stateside, it was nowhere to be heard or found. WMCR, the little station that gave me all those unwanted promo singles at the time, weren’t serviced by London, parent company of Parrot Records – home to Pinkerton’s Assorted Colours. Damn. I was jonesing by the time their second single hit. ‘Don’t Stop Loving Me, Baby’ limped into the UK Top 50 at #50 for one week. I love a good followup flop usually more than the previous hit, so this was reaching fever pitch.
Finally I was successful, finding it in a 25¢ bin at The House Of Oldies on Bleeker Street in NYC when my Aunt Nancy invited me along to visit some relative for a few days. I got a ton of London titles there – The Cryin’ Shames, Lulu & The Luvvers, The Gonks, Hedgehoppers Anonymous and Jonathan King among them – all nice orange swirl promos. This is a great double sider. Not overly special but a solid British staple. Actually, just tonight I realized some similarities to Dave Dee, Dozy, Beaky, Mick & Tich thereby explaining a lot of it’s appeal for me.
The B side ‘Will Ya’ is my favorite of the two, but just. That timid but still wildish fuzz solo is the tie breaker. Mike Goldsmith picked me up the stock copy pictured, only a few months ago, at Academy Records in Brooklyn. I had never seen nor heard of one being pressed as it seemed likely this would never have made it beyond the promo stage – but here it is.

I am new member of this forum. I have question about how to install windows in second hard drive, the primary hard drive I did linux installation.
Hi Tompham. Welcome to Linux Forums.
Because Windows is so important it expects to be installed on hdd 1 so you need to temporarily unmount or disconnect the first hdd load windows and then re-connect or remount the first hdd. You then have to amend grub to include chainloading Windows.
Hi Tompham, welcome to the forum! You also have the option of adding Linux to the Windows bootloader using a free app called Easy BCD (assuming it's Windows 7 or 8 you're using). Once you've completed your Windows install & reconnected the Linux drive, boot back into Windows, download & install Easy BCD, select Add New Entry then Linux, select Grub 2 and Add Entry. The app will automatically find Grub and will add it's own default name which you can then edit to the name of your distro using the Edit Boot Menu option. I use this to have all OS on my machine listed on one screen (4 Windows and 4 Linux).
Let us all know if you need any more help.

Easton LaChappelle uses 3D printing to build better prosthetics.
Photo courtesy of Easton LaChappelle.
Easton LaChappelle is the CEO and Founder of Unlimited Tomorrow, which uses low-cost 3D printing to build better, easy-to-use prosthetics. Modern prosthetics can be expensive, heavy, and hard to use, so Easton, an Intel ISEF 2012 and 2013 finalist, founded the company at 18. At 14, he made his first robotic hand out of LEGOs, fishing wire, and electrical tubing. Since then, his tech has advanced into a 3D printed, brain-powered robotic arm.
While presenting at one of his science fairs, he met a 7-year-old girl missing her right arm and wearing a simple prosthesis that cost $80,000. "This was my ah-ha moment," Easton says. "I saw an opportunity to take what I was making for fun in my bedroom and potentially impact someone's life!" Recently, he had the opportunity to give another little girl an improved prosthesis, with fingers that move.
Read on to learn how Easton is building the future of prosthetics.
HOW 3D PRINTING CAN MAKE PROSTHETICS MORE AFFORDABLE AND FUNCTIONAL: 3D printing is a perfect technology for prosthetics because at a high-level it's the ability to make something customized for a fraction of the cost. Prosthetics are so expensive because there is so much manual custom labor that goes into creating just one device.
3D printing is a perfect technology for prosthetics.
3D printing can expedite this process and achieve designs that were otherwise impossible conventionally. This also allows us to create a custom device for each person and we can print many designs all at once.
Unlimited Tomorrow uses low-cost 3D scanners and computers to digitally map an amputees' residual limb and opposite full arm, if they have one. This raw scan data goes through software that automatically places mechanical and robotic designs, based on the shapes and dimensions of the person. The output is then ready to print in a network of 3D printers around the world. This process allows us to produce some of the most advanced artificial limbs, even in remote and underprivileged communities.
I would not be where I'm at today if it wasn't for science fairs. It made me challenge what was possible.
At Unlimited Tomorrow, I'm involved in every aspect of the company, including business development, operations, hiring, financial management, and much more. I'm also heavily involved in research and development and product design.

HIS CURRENT STEM GOALS: I have a lot of STEM goals! Some of them are a little far out and will require technology catching up a bit. But most of them involve making my devices more lifelike and easier to control, including mimicking human skin to provide grip and contouring to objects, incorporating wireless charging, and creating new sensors to read muscles to control the hand as if it's your own.
HOW HE BECAME INTERESTED IN SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY: I've always loved science and technology. I remember growing up and taking apart everything I could get my hands on just because I was curious about how things worked. I was always looking for a way to take this to the next level with a project that was fun and open-ended. The idea to make a robotic hand controlled by a glove came to me when I was 14. I entered this into the science fair and I was blown away by the attention my project was getting.
Prosthetics are so expensive because there is so much manual custom labor that goes into creating just one device.
I started teaching myself programming, electronics, and mechanics from the internet by watching tutorials on YouTube, online forums, Skyping people around the world, and trial and error. I slowly started advancing my designs by using new materials and making the hand more functional. I built a full robotic arm that could shake your hand and toss a ball. I was displaying this at the state science fair in Fort Collins, Colorado when I met a 7-year-old girl who was missing her right arm. She was wearing a very simple prosthesis that cost around $80,000! This was my ah-ha moment. I saw an opportunity to take what I was making for fun in my bedroom and potentially impact someone's life!
Then President Barack Obama learned about Easton's prosthetic robotic arm at the 2013 White House Science Fair.
THE IMPORTANCE OF SCIENCE FAIRS: I would not be where I'm at today if it wasn't for science fairs. Science fairs pushed me every year to make something better and better and provided me a platform to share my ideas and find other like-minded people. Through science fairs, I was able to present in front of engineers, scientists, and other experts who provide me with feedback. If you do well, science fairs also provide award money you can put back into your project to continue development. Every year it made me challenge what was possible. When you see everyone's project and what they do, it makes you excited to learn and for what the future holds.
HIS ADVICE TO YOUNG PEOPLE INTERESTED IN STEM: My advice for young people in science: explore your curiosity. This is the driving force of what made me start this and to continue moving forward. In today's world, there are vast amounts of resources at your fingertips. Use these resources to explore and find your passion. There is no excuse to not do what you love.
I taught myself programming, electronics, and mechanics from the internet, YouTube, online forums, Skyping people around the world, and trial and error.
Don't be afraid to stray away from the "normal path." There are so many ways in today's world to continue learning and to do what you love. There's a lot of things that push you on a conventional path but don't let others decide your future. Be bold and stay curious.

Pests can be a threat to your home or office any time of year. However, when the weather turns colder they are especially on the lookout for a place to hole up and stay warm until spring. In most cases, a rodent that wants to stay warm and well-fed during the wintertime will choose your house or your commercial structure over a barn or another kind of outbuilding.
Out of all of the creatures that could take up residence, rats and mice in particular carry with them risks that you should be aware of for your own safety and that of your family.
When you suspect that rats and mice have taken up residence in your office or house, you can have them removed permanently by relying on commercial rat pest control in Melbourne.
By relying on a professional mice control company like Protech Pest Control, you avoid the risks that rats and mice bring with them when they come inside.
One of the most present dangers they present involves the risk of fire. A pest like a rat or a mouse will chew through wires, drywall, and other materials to make a nest and burrow further in the wall for warmth.
As a rat or mouse chews through the wiring, however, it creates a fire hazard if one of the wires should short out and spark. Your structure could burn down because of a pest that took up residence inside. To avoid this risk, you can call a professional removal service and have these pests eliminated permanently.
Another advantage that comes with choosing a professional control service involves eliminating health dangers presented by these creatures. Rodents carry with them diseases and mites that can cause illness. They leave behind droppings and urine, as well as the mites and lice that live in their hides.
When you or your loved ones come into contact with these droppings or mites, you could become ill with diseases like the plague. A rat removal service that specializes in getting rid of these creatures can control any burgeoning outbreak of disease in your home.
A service that performs rat pest control in Melbourne will inspect your structure and find where these pests are coming in from the outdoors. The technicians will seal off cracks and find nests as part of their removal service.
A large part of getting rid of these pests involves keeping them from gaining entry to the inside of the structure. When you seal off their point of entry, you make it more difficult for them to invade your living or work space.
Rodents pose a danger to you and your family. They also multiply rapidly, making them difficult to control. Protech Pest Control can help with mice control and keep pests out permanently.

Remember the little engine that could. Remember how it said “It think I can. I think I can.” until it could. Well, what if that theory, with some adjustment, worked on thinking yourself young? What if, instead of repeating “I think I can” we repeated, “I know I’m younger” over and over until we were. The stuff of children’s stories and fairytales?
Nope. It’s the stuff of modern day science.
Don’t get me wrong, there are parts of growing older that are just awesome. Knowing who I am, for one. But the physical deterioration and the fears about that deterioration are big. What if a significant causal relationship between mind and body was being established and physical deterioration could be lessened? Now that’s what I’m talking about.
A long tail study by the United College of London published their findings last year, that lead to the conclusion that “perceived age can reflect assessments of health, physical limitation and well-being”. What that means to you and I is that if we think we are younger than we actually are, our mortality rate drops, our physical capacity increases and we generally feel better.
UCL studied almost 7,000 people with a mean age of 65 over eight years. They asked each person how old they felt at the beginning and then again periodically throughout the study. This simple experiment had surprising outcomes. Those who felt three or more years younger than their chronological age actually had a much lower death rate than those who felt their age. Conversely, those who felt 3 or more years older than their chronological age had a much higher death rate– almost 25% higher than those who felt their age, and almost 40% higher than those you still felt young. That’s a huge variance!!!!
Dr Ronald D. Siegel, assistant professor of psychology at Harvard Medical School concludes that just feeling younger changes how you feel about what you eat (you’re more likely to eat better) and what you do (you’re more likely to exercise or try new things).
But wait there’s more…Ellen Langer did a small sample study of men from a Nursing Home. These men spent time every day reliving their youth. During the study, a spontaneous touch football game broke out among this group of men who had been spending most of their time sitting and watching TV. By the end of the study, not only were they more mobile, healthier, happier, but the amount and number of medications that they were on had dropped. The only change was reliving their youth, in memory, magazine and music. The study was publically replicated in 2010 on a BBC show, “The Young Ones”. The results… the same.
Conclusion: Don’t just do things to make yourself younger, actually turn back the clock.
Listen to the music from those days. Reread your favorite books and magazines. Turn on Netflix and watch the movies you watched back them. Remind your spirit of what if felt to be young again. Don’t listen to those practical voices that tell you that you are getting older; that the aches and pains are normal. Poo on those aches and pains. Meditate on what it was like when you didn’t have them daily and watch what happens. Don’t forget smells. What perfume did you wear at your peak? Smell is the most visceral of all our science, why not pick up a bottle to bring you back to that time.
Sound too easy? Too good to be true? We now have the science to show us that it’s not.
I know I’m younger. I know I’m younger. I know I’m younger.
I wore Heaven Scent. eeewww. I don’t think I’m going that far back but I could go back to my 30’s and Ralph Lauren days. Just a whiff of that perfume brings me right back to that time.
It makes sense, but what if the people that feel older have chronic diseases that age them. They may be younger, but have the body of older.
I think I’m on the right road–I spend all of my days in the past. It’s peaceful there!
Oh I loved this Beth and have shared on my Sizzling Towards 60 & Beyond Facebook page. To me aging is all about attitude and not the number. Sure we can some days feel old but exercise and healthy eating will help. I love the idea of listening to old music from ‘my day’ bring on ABBA I say. I’m trying to think what perfume I used to wear but that I can’t remember. Have a lovely day and I really enjoyed this.
I knew there was a good reason I still liked to listen to disco! Going to share this on my FB page – love it.
Disco is not dead….it will never die and I believe my perfume was Charlie, courtesy of one of the ladies at Church, Revlon’s Cherries in the Snow lipstick….I can identify, remember and embrace the past, as I live with my younger self in a outstanding, never old manner!
It’s no longer just New Age hokum, it’s backed by science.

Projects that had been started were frequently closed, but they were poorly managed and controlled. An individual solution for the project management could not meet our expectations.
Support of our multiannual initiative to achieve an organizational „professionalization of project management“ with approved procedures and reports. Organizational development + software support = success.
For our project managers is very easy to create the work breakdown structure. The priorization of projects can take place in the portfolio management. The portfolio management profits from reliable reports which allow an overview of all portfolios on institution and the province level (i.e. company and holding level).
ONEPOINT gets to the heart of complex project management: Who is working on projects? Which projects are important for us? Where do we stand so far?
A multinational high-tech company standardizes and optimizes its project and portfolio management on an international level.
A worldwide operating pyrotechnic solutions provider for the automotive and non-automotive industry gains highest transparency through implementing a “single point of information” and professionalizes its project and portfolio management.
Each project plan looked different and sometimes the up-to-dateness of the project plans was not guaranteed. We struggled with non-transparent information, project data was hidden in project directories. Simplest portfolio management was realized via a self-built Access project database only.
With ONEPOINT we have a professional system to go into the future. We see this step to multi project management as an important element on our way to digitalization.
ONEPOINT is our "single source of project data" and gives us the best possible transparency across all projects.

Does monumental Truth lurk behind the colourful alchemical imagery of manuscripts held at the Wellcome Library? Images of this kind have fascinated scholars and artists for centuries, their rich symbolism being drawn on by Shakespeare, Donne, Milton, Dryden, Goethe, Hugo, Jung, Nabokov and many others.
Surely these venerable figures did not approach the same subject in vain? Surely the images offer practical advice on the attainment of infinite riches and immortality, or at the very least an exalted understanding of subjective reality?
This author certainly thinks so. But being part of the uninitiated horde, denied access to the lofty mode of contemplation required for alchemical study, and with only a layperson’s understanding of the cosmos, he offers below some 21st-century interpretations of such images.
MS. 800 (alchemical manuscript in German, c. 1625), folio 30v.
MS. 190 (alchemical manuscript in Latin, mid-17th century), folios 17v–18r.
MS. 29 (alchemical manuscript in Latin, mid-17th century), folio 1r.
MS. 4775 (Thesaurus thesaurorum, c. 1725), page 58.
The esoteric, spiritual-seeming images produced by alchemists have proved fascinating to scholars and artists up to the present day. What may initially have been practical, but obscure, advice for the creation of valuable material – transmuting base metals into gold – was eventually interpreted as a means of illustrating impressions of subjective reality.
Given that such images have made strikingly different impressions on different viewers over the centuries, you must agree that the advice pertaining to contemporary living set out above is no less valid an approach to these images than the weighty contemplation of early modern scholars set out in the Library’s calfskin and vellum bound tomes.

A digitized, decentralized ledger of transactions. A blockchain is constantly growing as ‘completed’ blocks (the most recent transactions) are recorded and added to it in chronological order. It allows market participants to keep track of transactions without centralized record-keeping strategies. Each node (a computer connected to the network) gets a copy of the blockchain, which is continually downloaded automatically.
Any form of currency that only exists digitally, that usually has no central issuing or regulating authority but instead uses a decentralized blockchain-based system to record transactions and manage the issuance of new units. Relies on cryptography to prevent counterfeiting and fraudulent transactions. The first real-world application of blockchain technology was Bitcoin.
If you are interested in attending any one of the following workshops, please check our events page to see our upcoming workshop dates and locations.
Our Blockchain Essentials Workshop is designed for people of all backgrounds. This two-hour workshop gives a crash-course on everything related to blockchain and cryptocurrencies, from the genesis of Bitcoin to the innovations happening in the blockchain space right now.

The history of UC Merced dates back to 1988, when the UC Regents first authorized planning for at least one additional campus based on projections of long-range enrollment demand. From an initial review of more than 80 sites in the San Joaquin Valley, 20 were initially advanced for additional study.
Eight sites were further evaluated and visited by a senior-level task force, leading to the identification of three sites that were selected for detailed analysis and for inclusion in a full environmental impact report. Following this careful process, the UC Board of Regents selected a site in eastern Merced County adjacent to Lake Yosemite Park as the location for the 10th campus of the University of California in May 1995.
The land was to be donated by the Virginia Smith Trust, a charitable trust that provides college scholarships to Merced-area high school students.
Adequate water would be available for university needs.
The county government initiated a planning process to assure compatible development of adjacent land and good transportation access.
Merced is centrally located with easy access from communities in the San Joaquin Valley, including the Valley's largest city, Fresno.
By 1997, UC Merced had established a regional office at Merced College, and the UC Fresno Center also served as a focal point for the new UC Merced campus.
In 1998, the university joined with the Merced County Board of Supervisors, the Virginia and Cyril Smith trusts, the City of Merced, and the Merced Irrigation District to initiate a collaborative planning process for the university community. The planning process produced a concept for a campus and community that could grow together in harmony with the landscape. 26,000 acres of seasonal wetlands adjacent to the campus are now permanently preserved by the state.
That same year, Carol Tomlinson-Keasey was appointed senior associate to UC President Atkinson to lead planning and development of the UC Merced campus. In 1999, Tomlinson-Keasey was appointed as founding chancellor of UC Merced, and the Tri-College Center on the campus of Merced College began to present UC Extension courses offered by UCs Riverside, Davis and Berkeley.
As the planning process for the campus and its academic programs continued into 2001, much progress was made, including the establishment of a new UC Merced Center in Bakersfield. UC Merced now has four locations spanning the San Joaquin Valley and Southern Sierra Nevada region.
Careful analysis of the site's environmental aspects contributed to a decision to move the campus and community closer to existing urban areas and away from more environmentally sensitive lands. The concepts developed jointly by the community and the university formed the basis for the preparation of the campus Long Range Development Plan (LRDP) and the county's draft University Community Plan.
The Board of Regents approved the UC Merced LRDP and certified the associated Environmental Impact Report (EIR) in January 2002. Merced County approved the University Community Plan in December 2004 and certified the associated EIR. This action was a key milestone for the eventual development of the university community.
Faculty members began to arrive in 2003 with graduate students in tow and began setting up research laboratories and programs at UC Merced's ancillary research facility on the former Castle Air Force Base, biding their time until buildings were ready on campus. The first graduate courses began in fall 2004.
The campus celebrated its official grand opening and the arrival of the first class of undergraduate students on Sept. 5, 2005. The first semester saw most activities on campus taking place in the Valley Terrace housing complex and the Leo & Dottie Kolligian Library, as other campus buildings were not yet ready for use. The Classroom and Office Building and the Science and Engineering Building opened for use in January 2006.
UC Merced has enjoyed strong bipartisan support throughout its history. Conceived under Gov. George Deukmejian in 1988, the campus was sited under Gov. Pete Wilson in 1995. Groundbreaking took place in 2002 under Gov. Gray Davis. The campus opened in 2005 under Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger and embarks on its ambitious 2020 Project under Gov. Jerry Brown. To date, the state has invested more than $500 million in construction and development of the 2,000-acre site. Upon completion of the 2020 Project, UC Merced will be able to accommodate up to 10,000 students, and as many as 25,000 students when the campus grows to full capacity in about three decades.
Carol Tomlinson-Keasey left the university in 2006, subsequently retiring from the University of California. In her place, Sung-Mo "Steve" Kang, UC Santa Cruz's school of engineering dean, was appointed chancellor in March 2007. Kang was formally inaugurated in September 2007 and led the campus until June 30, 2011. As chancellor, Kang oversaw increases in student enrollment and also the physical expansion of the campus. Kang returned to the faculty to focus on his research.
Tomlinson-Keasey's death from a longtime illness in September 2009 saddened the university community, but the legacy she's left behind at UC Merced will speak of her commitment to both the UC system and Central Valley forevermore.
In May 2011, the UC Board of Regents appointed Georgia College & State University President Dorothy Leland to serve as the campus's third chancellor. Upon her arrival in July 2011, Chancellor Leland immediately began to seek out solutions to expand and strengthen the campus’s physical, financial and academic position – even in the face of serious challenges caused by the global economic recession.
Through her strong leadership and passion for the campus’s mission, UC Merced embarked on an unprecedented $1.3 billion capital expansion. The Merced 2020 Project received formal approval from the UC Board of Regents in July 2016, broke ground in October 2016 and will double the campus’s physical size by fall 2020. The legacy of this work allows UC Merced to be well positioned to expand access to California’s most talented students and to continue its rise to higher levels of research excellence.

The 2018 VW Tiguan Is Coming to Canada!
For those who love the comfort, practicality and spaciousness of an SUV, good news is right around the corner. Set to arrive in Canada in early 2017, the all-new second-generation 2018 VW Tiguan brings with it an elevated sense of performance and driving capabilities. The new Tiguan, renowned for its high-quality German engineering, has been redesigned to mimic the platform of the latest Golf and will be available in two sizes, which include a regular and a long-base wheel version. Compared to the previous models that came before it, the 2018 Tiguan features an even larger cargo space with a wider overall volume, but still remains compact and versatile for all of your driving needs. With an additional 145 litres of cargo, the 2018 Tiguan is the perfect family SUV in a sleek, redefined body that gives the word “crossover” a whole new meaning.
Originally debuting in Frankfurt, Germany at the 2015 Auto Show, Canadians can expect the long-wheelbase Tiguan to saturate the North American market, based on former consumer behaviours and buying patterns. This model in particular is slightly more compact than the regular wheelbase version and presents the opportunity to hold seven passengers, reflecting its ability to accommodate different lifestyles in a five-passenger model. Its wheelbase is also 110 mm longer than its counterpart, which translates to additional interior and cargo space for passengers to enjoy, especially for those who have long suffered the cramped legs that tend to come standard with long car trips.
The 2018 Tiguan will be available with a selection of eight different engines worldwide, representing four diesel and four gasoline. The turbocharged 2.0-litre four-cylinder gas engine, packed with improved power and fuel consumption technologies is the best bet for the Canadian market. The new Tiguan is distinctively lighter in weight, but still provides an exceptional performance out on the road, be it on the highway, the suburbs, or an old country road. For those who seek the thrill of a rugged off-road experience, the Tiguan has you covered. With built in driving alerts and automated controls, the Tiguan can handle even the most aggressive styles of driving at the slightest touch of the wheel.
Volkswagen enthusiasts can expect to be nothing short of amazed when it comes to the interior of the 2018 Tiguan. Packed with even more intelligent technologies like flatscreen entertainment systems, stunning surround-sound audio and a TFT instrument panel, drivers and passengers alike will enjoy a ride like never before. The 2018 Tiguan also features a predictive system which allows the vehicle to shift its gears and tires to accommodate challenging road conditions like steep hills, bumpy routes, ice and snow. The new Tiguan is bigger, more powerful and better than ever. Prices will be announced closer to the release date, but drivers who are eager to get behind the wheel of a 2018 Tiguan should expect a price that is comparable with other recent models.
Stay tuned for more news on the stunning new 2018 Volkswagen Tiguan, and don’t forget to check back with us here at Crosby Volkswagen to learn more! Contact us today at (519) 894-9300 to speak with one of our sales professionals.

As in the title. Describe a voter who went for Alf Landon in 1936 but Lyndon Johnson in 1964. This shouldn't be that hard.
Many voters in Vermont and Maine and Northeast in general who were fiscally conservative but socially moderate or liberal who didn't care for Goldwater or what was going in the South at that time.
Alf Landon himself most likely.
About 1/3rd of Northern black voters?
Given just how much Northeastern and New England states swung, there had to have been some in those states. It couldn't all be attributed to voters dying/new ones coming of age/in- and out-migration.
A moderate, progressive Republican who was young in 1936. Probably a Republican from Maine, or Vermont.
Alf Landon was NOT a mossback conservative; he was a moderately progressive Republican. His legacy is reflected in his daughter, moderate Republican Nancy Landon Kassebaum, an FF if there ever was one.
