Monday Musings, 47: "We're All One"
All human beings are about 99 percent identical in our genetic makeup. But what divides us may seem stronger than what unites us. We spend our lives carving out our silos, debating and protecting our views and values, extending our borders, deepening our hate and prejudice, and losing touch with our compassion. Throughout our lives, we create the forces that separate us from others. These forces are the root cause of evil and injustice.
At the end of the day, we're all one and have to live as one. Our combined common interests will create a better world for all. Our common compassion will lead to better quality of life for all. But if we continue to live as strangers, if we fail to see our commonalities, we will fail to live up to the standards that are required of us to make our lives worth living.

Oklahoma policyholders' safety compromised by security breachPosted On Tue, November 27, 2012
The security of hundreds of Nationwide and Allied insurance policyholders in Oklahoma was compromised in a recent security breach, according to Insurance Journal.
The FBI is investigating an attack on the computer system used by the two providers that occurred in early October, compromising the safety of the personal information of 534 Oklahoma residents.
The compromised information could lead to the theft of the identities of the affected individuals, note Oklahoma authorities. The data that was accessed by the hackers included policyholders' names, Social Security numbers, driver's license numbers and more.
According to Insurance Journal, there is no evidence yet that the information has been misused, but Nationwide is offering affected customers identity theft protection and free credit report monitoring for one year in addition to the provider's low insurance rates.

It takes an experienced agent to help buyers and sellers navigate the ups and downs of an evolving real estate market. While my expertise is real estate, my true passion is all about helping people. My passion, paired with my talent of being a savvy negotiator and combined with excellent customer service, is what makes me one of the premier agents in Ithaca and the surrounding areas year after year.
I have what it takes to go the extra mile for my clients. My energy, endurance and attention to detail are what clients need to successfully complete a home purchase or sale.
Having lived in the Ithaca area for 30 years, I know the local terrain well. I have grown to appreciate all that the region has to offer. Our diverse and well-educated population, thriving culture, safe and friendly neighborhoods, and unique natural landscape make Ithaca an ideal place to put down roots.
I have two sons that both attended Ithaca City Schools. My older son attended Smeal College of Business at Penn State and played football. He currently works in Corporate Strategy and Business Development in New York City, and has his New York State Real Estate License. My younger son attended SUNY Brockport. After his graduation in May 2016, he coached football full-time at Western New England University, and went on to play football in a pro league in Italy for two years. He coached at Ithaca College in Fall 2017 and in Fall 2018, he is attending graduate school and coaching football at Heidelberg University in Tiffin, Ohio.
In the past, I have served on the Board of Directors for Challenge Workforce Solutions. I currently serve on the Community Foundation for Tompkins County's Women's Fund. I also serve on the Cayuga Medical Center Hospital Gala Committee. I have contributed to the Ithaca Urban Renewal Agency and the city's Economic Development Committee. I have been actively involved with the Ithaca Board of Realtors®, serving on the MLS & Grievance Committees. These roles have led to lifelong friendships and community contacts that make up an invaluable pool of resources that I believe helps to leverage me as one of Ithaca's top realtors®.
I'm hardworking, honest, dedicated and loyal. As an agent, I continue to dominate the market. 2018 was a record-breaking year for me, selling over 27 million. My average selling price and my listing-price-to-sell-price ratio are above both the Ithaca board average and Warren Real Estate's averages, and I am once again the top selling agent at Warren Real Estate and on the Ithaca Board of Realtors.
I love meeting people, getting them excited about Ithaca and finding them the homes and properties that fulfill their unique needs and goals.Whether you want to find the perfect home and neighborhood, discover that unique lakeside getaway, or locate that ideal property for additional income, I can guide you through the Ithaca real estate landscape.

Title: Probation
Author: Tom Mendicino
Publisher: Kensington
Genre: Gay; Contemporary
Buy link: Amazon.com
Length: Novel; also ebook
Rating: 5 stars out 5
A guest review by Leslie
IN A NUTSHELL: A powerful coming out story of a gay man who has been married for 20 years; an arrest for solicitation forces him to rethink, reevaluate, and rebuild his life. Readers share this experience with the prickly, but sympathetic, first person narrator.
All it took to destroy Andy Nocera's seemingly perfect life was an anonymous tryst at an Interstate rest area. Sentenced to probation and thrown out by his wife, he spends his week as a traveling salesman, and his weekends at his mother's house where no questions are asked—and no explanations are offered.
To clear his record, the State of North Carolina requires Andy to complete one year of therapy without another arrest. He attends his sessions reluctantly at first, struggling to comprehend why he would risk everything. Answers don't come easily, especially in the face of his mother's sudden illness and his repeated failure to live as an openly gay man. But as Andy searches his past, he gets an opportunity to rescue another lost soul—and a chance at a future that is different in every way from the one he had envisioned.
With profound honesty, sharp wit, and genuine heart, this debut novel portrays one man's search—for love and passion, acceptance and redemption—and for the courage to really live.
Wave's recent post on coming out and the accompanying essays generated quite a bit of discussion here at the site. If that conversation interested you, then I would definitely recommend this book. It's an extended look at one year in the life of Andy Nocera—one harrowing year. Fortunately, he tells the story with lots of humor and wit, so even though we as readers are raked over the coals, more than once, it's a bearable experience. The unexpected payoff at the end makes the emotional journey worthwhile, too.
The blurb summarizes the story nicely, so I won't repeat it here. The story is told from Andy's first person POV. In the opening chapter we are introduced to Andy and his therapist, a Jesuit priest who is also a psychiatrist (MD). Andy doesn't want to be in therapy but he also doesn't want a police record that identifies him as a sexual offender, so he does what he has to do to get that cleared up: talk to Father Matt.
The story moves forward in time but also flashes back in Andy's mind as we learn about his childhood, marriage, and present-day life. The entire story doesn't take place in his psychiatrist's office but those sessions are important touchstones that mark his progress throughout the year.
They say you have to descend into hell before you can start getting better, and Andy does. It's tough reading, particularly because he doesn't turn the corner until late in to the book (after the book proper ends, to be completely honest). But Andy is a sympathetic character and I found I was rooting for him, despite the massive quantities of alcohol and drugs that he was ingesting and the poor choices he was making along the way. I wanted things to work out for him and…not to give too much away…they did, but not in the way I expected.
Men who know they are gay but choose to get married to a woman—put on a façade of a "normal" life—it's a societal consequence that is slowly changing. I look forward to the day when men (and women) are not forced to live a lie for 10, 20, 30 years…but that day is not here yet. So, unfortunately, many men will have to go through what Andy went through—I suspect that this story, although fictional, will ring true for many people who read it.
I should probably note that this is not a romance although issues of sex and sexuality pervade the narrative. If you are looking for sweet kisses or hot smexxin', this is not the story for you. On the other hand, if you are looking for a very well told, well written story of a man being wrenched from the closet and forced to reevaluate and rebuild his life in the process, then you will want to read this book.
This is the author's first novel (although he has published several short stories in various collections) and it is an auspicious debut. I look forward to reading more from him. According to his website, he is an attorney and lives in Philadelphia with his partner of 30 years. I was actually glad to find out this book wasn't a fictionalized autobiography although in an interview, he did say that the story was based on experiences of many men he has known over the years, which didn't surprise me.
All in all, an excellent book, especially for those who like a little challenge in their fiction. I can recommend this with ease and am happy to give it an unqualified five stars.

Richard Goode has been hailed for music-making of tremendous emotional power, depth and expressiveness, and has been acknowledged worldwide as one of today's leading interpreters of Classical and Romantic music. In regular performances with the major orchestras, recitals in the world's music capitals, and through his extensive and acclaimed Nonesuch recordings, he has won a large and devoted following.
Gramophone magazine recently captured the essence of what makes Richard Goode such an original and compelling artist: ''Every time we hear him, he impresses us as better than we remembered, surprising us, surpassing our expectations and communicating perceptions that stay in the mind."
Richard Goode opens his 2015-2016 season as soloist with the Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra and Jeffrey Kahane, followed by appearances with the Orchestre de Paris and Herbert Blomstedt, the Cincinnati Symphony and David Zinman, and the Orchestre National de Lyon and Ton Koopman, among others. A compelling recitalist, Mr. Goode will be featured in the Great Performers Series at Lincoln Center in New York, at the Royal Festival Hall in London, in the Chicago Symphony series, and at major venues in the U.S. and Europe including those in Budapest, Cleveland, Denver, Dublin, Genova, Glasgow, Kansas City, Philadelphia, San Francisco, Vancouver and Washington, DC. He will also return to both the Gilmore Festival and Krannert Center at the University of Illinois in addition to performing in a gala concert celebrating the 30th Anniversary of the Philadelphia Chamber Music Society.
In the 2014-2015 season Mr. Goode opened Lincoln Center's Mostly Mozart Festival and was featured in five appearances at Carnegie Hall. In addition to a recital in the main hall, he appeared as a soloist with the Boston Symphony Orchestra under the baton of Andris Nelsons, in two chamber music concerts with young artists from Marlboro Music Festival and conducting a master class on Debussy piano works. He was also heard as soloist with orchestras including the Los Angeles Philharmonic, St. Louis, Milwaukee and San Diego Symphonies. In addition, he performed recitals at the Concertgebouw in Amsterdam, Wigmore Hall in London, the Celebrity Series of Boston, Cal Performances in Berkeley, the Philadelphia Chamber Music Society, the University Musical Society in Ann Arbor, at Shriver Hall in Baltimore, in Toronto at the Royal Conservatory, at The Schubert Club in St. Paul, Spivey Hall in Atlanta, Yale School of Music, Dartmouth College, Duke Performances, Middlebury College and in other major series in the U.S. and Europe.
Among the highlights of recent seasons have been the recitals in which, for the first time in his career, Mr. Goode performed the last three Beethoven Sonatas in one program, drawing capacity audiences and raves in such cities as New York, London and Berlin. The New York Times, in reviewing his Carnegie Hall performance, hailed his interpretations as "majestic, profound readings......Mr. Goode's playing throughout was organic and inspired, the noble, introspective themes unfolding with a simplicity that rendered them all the more moving." Recent seasons have also included performances with the Metropolitan Opera Orchestra led by Fabio Luisi at Carnegie Hall; with the Los Angeles Philharmonic and Gustavo Dudamel; with Orpheus on tour and at Carnegie Hall playing the Schumann Concerto; and on tour with the Boston Symphony Orchestra.
An exclusive Nonesuch recording artist, Goode has made more than two dozen recordings over the years, ranging from solo and chamber works to lieder and concertos. His latest recording of the five Beethoven concertos with the Budapest Festival Orchestra and Iván Fischer was released in 2009 to exceptional critical acclaim, described as "a landmark recording" by the Financial Times and nominated for a Grammy award. His 10-CD set of the complete Beethoven sonatas cycle, the first-ever by an American-born pianist, was nominated for a Grammy and has been ranked among the most distinguished recordings of this repertoire. Other recording highlights include a series of Bach Partitas, a duo recording with Dawn Upshaw, and Mozart piano concertos with the Orpheus Chamber Orchestra.
A native of New York, Richard Goode studied with Elvira Szigeti and Claude Frank, with Nadia Reisenberg at the Mannes College of Music, and with Rudolf Serkin at the Curtis Institute. His numerous prizes over the years include the Young Concert Artists Award, First Prize in the Clara Haskil Competition, the Avery Fisher Prize, and a Grammy award for his recording of the Brahms Sonatas with clarinetist Richard Stoltzman. His first public performances of the complete cycle of Beethoven sonatas at Kansas City's Folly Theater and New York's 92Y in 1987-88 brought him to international attention being hailed by the New York Times as "among the season's most important and memorable events." It was later performed with great success at London's Queen Elizabeth Hall in 1994 and 1995.
Mr. Goode served, together with Mitsuko Uchida, as co-Artistic Director of the Marlboro Music School and Festival in Marlboro, Vermont from 1999 through 2013. Participating initially at the age of 14, at what the New Yorker magazine recently described as "the classical world's most coveted retreat," he has made a notable contribution to this unique community over the 28 summers he has spent there. He is married to the violinist Marcia Weinfeld, and, when the Goodes are not on tour, they and their collection of some 5,000 volumes live in New York City.

Decisions, Decisions.
Parallel universes exist. Every time a decision is made, every possible consequence plays out in an infinite number of realities. (A premise not dissimilar to that of the nineties hit movie "Sliding Doors", although in my version the difference isn't solely denoted by alternate hair styles and Gwyneth Paltrow growing a backbone.)
Say, for example, a group of people decide to start a book club. They talk about doing it and convince themselves that they will. Then they each go home to their houses, flick the kettle on, consider a small slice of toast and promptly forget all about it. To them it will remain just that conversation in the pub where they discovered they'd all quite enjoyed "Wild Swans". Elsewhere, though, in the black swirling mass of the elastic fantastic universe, up pops a circle of wooden chairs containing those very same people, all looking a touch bored as they try to form opinions about that much-hyped-but-rather-disappointing novel "The Time Traveller's Wife". All possible consequences of acting upon that decision or not and in all possible ways, they all happen.
Of course every decision we make precipitates a series of consequences. I choose to believe that for every one of these decisions, every possible consequence immediately exists, like an infinite number of eyes all opening at once.
I sat on the night bus last night. I had been working all day in my temp job and had rushed straight out to one of my other jobs (event hosting at a West End show). I pressed my head against the cool glass of the bus as it sailed over one of the bridges, staring at the sweeping view across London and engaging in some anxious contemplation.
I have four jobs, even in spite of which I still struggle to pay my rent. I aspire to musical heights, but spend so much time working that I barely have time or energy to be as dedicated to it as I want to be. When I get home from work I switch on my computer and try to work on my songs. My mind wanders as I attempt to re-capture passion that bubbles during the day in response to the steel grey walls of my office job. Sometimes I get somewhere, sometimes not.
I approach my life in the way in which I am accustomed. I work because I need money. I sing because I love it, but I approach my creative endeavours without really pushing myself, without taking too many risks. I have ideas of how I should do things, but these ideas are simply the culmination of every decision I have ever made. I am conditioned to behave in a certain way because I continue to myopically fix upon the only type of decision I have ever made. I tell myself that I am making new decisions, but actually I am only seeing the options I have programmed myself to see, and then making the choice I have programmed myself to make.
I want to widen my vision and be able to understand all the possibilities. To stop feeling my way around the labyrinth and see it from a bird's eye perspective.
I know that I sound like a first year Philosophy student, waving around a pristine copy of Kant's "Critique of Pure Reason" and talking about how, like, maybe we all see colours totally differently, like, maybe what you see as blue I see as, like, red? You know? But I sat on the bus last night and imagined an infinite number of selves, walking an infinite number of routes through the labyrinth. Perhaps there is a braver me, who isn't scared of making phone calls. A more organised me, who understands money and doesn't feel the compulsion to claw her own face off whenever she accidentally glances in the direction of her bank statement.
A more brazen me, who demands rather than asks.
I wonder whether I can embody all those selves and become a better, braver version. I want to understand the pattern of my decision-making so that I can change it. I want to take risks, but first I want to be able to see all the available risks that are mine to take.
Perhaps I am wrong in saying that the infinite versions of the self are "out there". Perhaps they are, in fact, all playing out inside each of us at every single moment. Perhaps I need to just liberate the brazen version of myself and allow her to dominate, to demand, instead of sitting back while the more timid self asks, then fears the answer.
Or perhaps I should stop with the pop-philosophy and get back to writing amusing anecdotes about mice.

"Realism in artistic expression is nothing new."
There have always been reality-simulation devices, of course. Representational art has long been fascinated with the prospect of the totally convincing canvas, or mural, or (to use the most current term) chunk of cyberspace.
The caveman recoiled in fright before the oily depiction of the hungry mastiff which he himself just painted on the wet walls of the cave; Michelangelo's "David" looked like David himself, only a bit bigger, much to the astonishment of Florentine pundits.
Dutch artists perfected canvasses replete in detail, while critics, familiar only with fuzzier pictures, marveled and stroked their beards; mystery novelists put down words in serial order which would keep readers on the edge of their chairs, casting nervous glances over their shoulders late at night and thinking themselves at a risk equal to that of the heroine.
The RCA-Records canine mascot cocks its head, convinced that it is His Master's Voice which emanates from the horn; children at the 3-D matinee performance duck and drop their plastic glasses and popcorn onto the floor as the lance is thrown from the silver screen out into the audience.
Television sets boast higher and higher degrees of resolution, approaching the representational accuracy of 35 millimeter slides, and are installed in home theaters, flanked by audio transducers and proud Yuppie owners; the opera singer's high-C shatters the champagne glass, but then it transpires that the sound was a recording on a Memorex tape cassette, and that there is no opera singer behind the curtain at all, but a tape deck and a pair of high-end, high-fidelity loudspeakers, instead.
Experiments in virtual reality have been going on for a long time, and share a common dependence on technologies, such as those which existed for cavemen, those with which we play today, and those which may become available to visionary graduate students of the 21st century, and a common focus: the representation of our physical surroundings in a manner so refined, and so persuasive, as to confuse the average subject-observer, and to render him unable to say what exactly is "real," and what is not.
Realism in artistic expression has always sought to achieve that focus, and realism in artistic expression is nothing new.

FLIR Systems Australia announces a new range of thermal imaging cameras for industrial R&D applications.
Equipped with a cooled detector, the FLIR A35x0sc/A65x0sc series thermal imaging cameras are ideal tools for industrial R&D applications that need better image quality, more sensitivity and a higher frame rate than what can be obtained from a thermal imaging camera with an uncooled detector.
The FLIR X8000 or X6000 series can be used for higher frame rates and better image quality.
The Mid-Wave infrared cooled detectors in the FLIR A35x0sc/A65x0sc-Series cameras allow the user to see through or at materials such as certain types of glasses or plastics, which is not possible with the uncooled Long-Wave cameras.
The FLIR A65x0sc produces crisp thermal images of 640x512 pixels. Users that do not need this high image quality for their application can choose the FLIR A3520sc that produces thermal images of 320x256 pixels.
A high thermal sensitivity of <25 mK, which captures fine image details and temperature difference information, is a common feature across all versions.
External Triggering/ Synchronisation
External triggering allows synchronisation of the image to capture fleeting events. One camera can be configured as master and others as slave for applications requiring more than one camera.
Snapshot operation
FLIR A35x0sc/A65x0sc-series thermal imaging cameras work on a snapshot mode with all pixels registering the thermal event simultaneously. Image blurring is avoided while capturing moving objects or in motion applications.
GigE Vision standard compatibility
A new camera interface standard developed using the Gigabit Ethernet communication protocol, GigE Vision allows for fast image transfer using low cost standard cables even over long distances. With GigE Vision, hardware and software from different vendors can interoperate seamlessly over GigE connections.
Software included
FLIR A35x0sc/ A65x0sc thermal imaging cameras work seamlessly together with FLIR ResearchIR/ ResearchIR Max software, which allows for viewing, recording and advanced processing of the infrared data provided by the camera. Each camera comes standard with a basic version of FLIR ResearchIR software.

Props to all the Muslim mothers around the world for having lots of children!
Muslims more numerous than Catholics
By ALESSANDRA RIZZO, Associated Press Writer
Sun Mar 30, 2:48 PM ET
VATICAN CITY – Islam has surpassed Roman Catholicism as the world's largest religion, the Vatican newspaper said Sunday.
"For the first time in history, we are no longer at the top: Muslims have overtaken us," Monsignor Vittorio Formenti said in an interview with the Vatican newspaper L'Osservatore Romano. Formenti compiles the Vatican's yearbook.
He said that Catholics accounted for 17.4 percent of the world population — a stable percentage — while Muslims were at 19.2 percent.
"It is true that while Muslim families, as is well known, continue to make a lot of children, Christian ones on the contrary tend to have fewer and fewer," the monsignor said.
Formenti said that the data refer to 2006. The figures on Muslims were put together by Muslim countries and then provided to the United Nations, he said, adding that the Vatican could only vouch for its own data.
When considering all Christians and not just Catholics, Christians make up 33 percent of the world population, Formenti said.
Spokesmen for the Vatican and the United Nations did not immediately return phone calls seeking comment Sunday.

We could all use some extra time is our days, but the problem is time is not very accommodating. You have to work your schedule to optimize your time, but there always seems to be a shortage on this very important part of the day. As a recent college student, I have found some interesting ways to make sure you get the most out of your days and maybe make it possible to enjoy a nice relaxing weekend before the hectic schedule begins again. The following will give you a few pointers that will help you pack more into your day in hopefully less time.
1. Make a list – It is very important for your day to start with a list of everything that you hope to get done before you hit the sack. Once you have created your list, see what items can be done at the same time. For example, if you have to do laundry and run errands put the load of laundry in so it is going while you are out. The point is to get at much done at any given moment as possible.
2. Fast-paced music – If you are doing things at home, try to put on some music with a fast beat to try and keep up your energy. Listening to the TV or slow music could cause you to either sit down and watch TV or move at a slower pace. Try to keep up with the beat of the music.
3. Sections – Do your list in ordered sections. If you have a lot to do at home, try to get everything done there before you head out or vice versa. Taking care of everything in sections can help you save time. If you have a lot to do out of the house, maybe tackle those items first while something such as the dishes are laundry are going at home. Running around like a chicken with its head cut off does not maximize your time and this can happen if you do not organize your list according to what needs to get done and where. Try it out and see if this method works for you.

Cultural tourism is the subset of tourism concerned with a traveler's engagement with a country or region's culture, specifically the lifestyle of the people in those geographical areas, the history of those people, their art, architecture, religion(s), and other elements that helped shape their way of life.[citation needed]

Cultural tourism includes tourism in urban areas, particularly historic or large cities and their cultural facilities such as museums and theatres.
It is generally agreed that cultural tourists spend substantially more than standard tourists do.[citation needed] This form of tourism is also becoming generally more popular throughout the world, and a recent OECD report has highlighted the role that cultural tourism can play in regional development in different world regions.[3]
Cultural tourism has been defined as 'the movement of persons to cultural attractions away from their normal place of residence, with the intention to gather new information and experiences to satisfy their cultural needs'.[4] These cultural needs can include the solidification of one's own cultural identity, by observing the exotic "others".
One type of cultural tourism destination is living cultural areas. Visiting any culture other than one's own such as traveling to a foreign country. Other destinations include historical sites, modern urban districts, "ethnic pockets" of town, fairs/festivals, theme parks, and natural ecosystems. It has been shown that cultural attractions and events are particularly strong magnets for tourism.[5] The term cultural tourism is used for journeys that include visits to cultural resources, regardless of whether it is tangible or intangible cultural resources, and regardless of the primary motivation. In order to understand properly the concept of cultural tourism, it is necessary to know the definitions of a number terms such as, for example, culture, tourism, cultural economy, cultural and tourism potentials, cultural and tourist offer, and others.[6]
Key principles[edit]
Destination planning[edit]
As the issue of globalization takes place in this modern time, the challenge of preserving the few remaining cultural communities around the world is becoming hard. In a tribal-based community, reaching economic advancement with minimal negative impacts is an essential objective to any destination planner. Since they are using the culture of the region as the main attraction, sustainable destination development of the area is vital for them to prevent the negative impacts (i.e., destroying the authentic identity of the tribal community) due to tourism.
Management issues[edit]
Certainly, the principle of "one size fits all" doesn't apply to destination planning. The needs, expectations, and anticipated benefits from tourism vary the money is good there. This is clearly exemplified as local communities living in regions with tourism potential (destinations) develop a vision for what kind of tourism they want to facilitate, depending on issues and concerns they want to be settled or satisfied.[citation needed]
Destination planning resources[edit]
Planning guides[edit]
- Culture – the heart of development policy
It is important that the destination planner take into account the diverse definition of culture as the term is subjective.[citation needed] Satisfying tourists' interests such as landscapes, seascapes, art, nature, traditions, ways of life and other products associated to them -which may be categorized cultural in the broadest sense of the word, is a prime consideration as it marks the initial phase of the development of a cultural destination.
The quality of service and destination, which does not solely depend on the cultural heritage but more importantly to the cultural environment, can further be developed by setting controls and policies which shall govern the community and its stakeholders.[citation needed] It is therefore safe to say that the planner should be on the ball with the varying meaning of culture itself as this fuels the formulation of development policies that shall entail efficient planning and monitored growth (e.g. strict policy on the protection and preservation of the community).
- Local community, tourists, the destination and sustainable tourism
While satisfying tourists' interests and demands may be a top priority, it is also imperative to ruminate the subsystems of the destination's (residents).[citation needed] Development pressures should be anticipated and set to their minimum level so as to conserve the area's resources and prevent a saturation of the destination as to not abuse the product and the residents correspondingly. The plan should incorporate the locals to its gain by training and employing them and in the process encourage them to participate to the travel business. Travellers should be not only aware about the destination but also concern on how to help it sustain its character while broadening their travelling experience.
Research on tourism[edit]
International tourism changes the world. The Centre for Tourism and Cultural Change (CTCC) is leading internationally in approaching Tourism for critical research relating to the relationships between tourism, tourists and culture.[7]
Sources of data[edit]
The core of a planner's job is to design an appropriate planning process and facilitate community decision.[citation needed] Ample information which is a crucial requirement is contributed through various technical researches and analyzes. Here are some of the helpful tools commonly used by planners to aid them:
- Key Informant Interviews
- Libraries, Internet, and Survey Research
- Census and Statistical Analysis
- Spatial Analysis with Geographical Information System (GIS) and Global Positioning System (GPS) technologies
Key institutions[edit]
Participating structures are primarily led by the government's local authorities and the official tourism board or council, with the involvement of various NGOs, community and indigenous representatives, development organizations, and the academe of other countries.[citation needed] asd
Case study: mountainous regions of central Asia and in the Himalayas[edit]
Tourism is coming to the previously isolated mountainous regions of Central Asia, the Hindu Kush and the Himalayas.[citation needed] Closed for so many years to visitors from abroad, it now[when?] attracts a growing number of foreign tourists by its unique culture and natural beauty. However, while this influx of tourists is bringing economic opportunities and employment to local populations, helping to promote these little-known regions of the world, it has also brought challenges along with it: to ensure that it is well-managed and that its benefits are shared by all.
As a response to this concern, the Norwegian Government, as well as the UNESCO, organized an interdisciplinary project called the Development of Cultural and Ecotourism in the Mountainous Regions of Central Asia and the Himalayas project.[citation needed][when?] It aims to establish links and promote cooperation between local communities, national and international NGOs, and tour agencies in order to heighten the role of the local community and involve them fully in the employment opportunities and income-generating activities that tourism can bring. Project activities include training local tour guides, producing high-quality craft items and promoting home-stays and bed-and-breakfast type accommodation.
As of now,[when?] the project is drawing on the expertise of international NGOs and tourism professionals in the seven participating countries, making a practical and positive contribution to alleviating poverty by helping local communities to draw the maximum benefit from their region's tourism potential, while protecting the environmental and cultural heritage of the region concerned.[citation needed]

Research suggests that over 50% of workplace relationships start on training courses.
Apologies, this isn't actually a researched statistic! But, what this headline does prove is the importance of a first impression – an impression created by those all-important interpersonal skills. So, it's no wonder that employers regard them as vital.
Given they are so important, perhaps the key question for Learning and Development professionals is: are interpersonal skills something that can be learned?
It's true that some people just seem to have these skills; they just seem to have the natural gifts of influence, communication, listening and negotiation.
But are they in fact 'gifts'? What we're really talking about are the seemingly straightforward skills of:
- What we say
- How we say it
- How we interpret the messages sent by others
- How we communicate without words
- How we work with others to identify, define and solve problems
- How we explore and analyse choices to make sound decisions
And, whilst there is no quick fix, these are undeniably skills that can be learned, they can be practiced and they can be perfected.
The challenge for L&D professionals is how to support that development with a target audience of four generations in the workplace.
And actually, that is the key starting point - identifying specific, common needs and, most importantly, getting individuals to identify, and in some cases accept, their development needs. This is unquestionably a sensitive area but a lot of help is available in the form of self-assessment questionnaires, peer reviews and managers' feedback.
Once the range of needs is identified, I believe a similarly wide blend of training solutions needs to be developed and deployed. Very often individuals will need exposure to several, often incremental solutions. Here are my top solutions based on the services we have delivered for our clients:
- Psychometrics / Self-assessment – people often find these a good way of expressing 'development needs' without them being too personal
- Mentoring / Reverse mentoring – a huge amount of trust is required, but equally often hugely developmental for both parties
- Job rotation, secondment and shadowing – new environments force rapid development
- Social learning – learning from watching and analysing the interpersonal techniques of others
- Simulation – formal training courses providing a skilfully facilitated and safe environment for skills practice
- Forum theatre – a really focussed examination of the impact of interpersonal skills but without participants having to 'act' the part
- E-guides, webinars, tutorial and videos – a vast array of web-based learning, often free
- Coaching – 1:1 support often linked to some form of self or peer assessment
With these interventions, interpersonal skills are definitely something that can be learned and by offering a blend of developmental solutions, there will be opportunities for the skills to practiced and perfected.
If you'd like more information on how we can help you deliver interpersonal skills development, please contact us.

- Battle of the Wilderness
The Battle of the Wilderness, fought May 5–7, 1864, was the first battle of Lt. Gen.
Ulysses S. Grant's 1864 Virginia Overland Campaignagainst Gen. Robert E. Leeand the Confederate Army of Northern Virginia. Both armies suffered heavy casualties, a harbinger of a bloody war of attritionby Grant against Lee's army and, eventually, the Confederate capital, Richmond, Virginia. The battle was tactically inconclusive, as Grant disengaged and continued his offensive.
The battlefield was the Wilderness of Spotsylvania, an expanse of nearly impenetrable scrub growth and rough terrain that encompassed more than 70 square miles (181 km²) of Spotsylvania County and Orange County in central
Virginia. A number of battles were fought in the vicinity between 1862 and 1864, including the bloody Battle of Chancellorsvillein May 1863. It is often said that the Wilderness and Chancellorsville were fought in the same spot, but the 1864 battle was actually fought a few miles to the west, and only overlapped the old battlefield along the Brock Road on the Union army's left flank.
On May 2, 1864, the
Army of the Potomac, nominally under the command of Maj. Gen. George G. Meade, but taking orders from Grant, crossed the Rapidan Riverat three separate points and converged on the Wilderness Tavern, which had been the concentration point for the Confederates one year to the day earlier when they launched their devastating attack on the Union right flank at Chancellorsville. But Grant chose to set up his camps to the west of the old battle site before moving southward. Unlike the Union army of a year before, Grant had no desire to fight in the Wilderness.
For Lee it was imperative to fight in the Wilderness for the same reason as the year before: his army was massively outnumbered, with 61,000 men to Grant's 101,000, and his
artilleryhad fewer and worse guns than those of Grant's. Fighting in the tangled woods would eliminate Grant's advantage in artillery, and also the close quarters and ensuing confusion there could give Lee's outnumbered force better odds.
While waiting for the arrival of Lt. Gen.
James Longstreetand his two divisions of the First Corps ( Pickett's division was absent, still recovering from its losses at the Battle of Gettysburg, manning the defenses of Richmond) which had been posted 25 miles (40 km) to the west to guard the crucial railroad junction of Gordonsville, Lee pushed forward his Second Corps, commanded by Lt. Gen. Richard S. Ewell, and the 22,000 man Third Corps under the command of Lt. Gen. A.P. Hill, in a successful attempt to engage Grant before he moved south. On May 5, Ewell, on Lee's left flank, and Hill on the right, engaged Union soldiers.
On the left, Ewell met up with the V Corps under the command of Maj. Gen.
Gouverneur K. Warren, and fought it to a standoff. For much of the day Ewell's 18,500-man corps actually held a slight numerical advantage on this part of the field. But on the right, Hill was hit hard and driven back by the Union II Corps under Maj. Gen. Winfield Scott Hancockand a division from the VI Corps. He held his ground, however.
On May 6, Hancock, now commanding close to 40,000 men, resumed the attack on Hill's corps, while heavy Union reinforcements on Ewell's front prevented Lee from sending Second Corps men to aid Hill. By late morning, Hancock had driven Hill's corps back more than two miles (3 km) and inflicted heavy casualties. With the Third Corps in dire straits Lee began to look desperately for Longstreet, who had been expected hours before.
Longstreet and the 12,000-man First Corps finally arrived at around noon, with perfect timing: Hancock's men were tired and disorganized from six hours of fighting. When Longstreet attacked the Union forces they withdrew, and within two hours the situation was totally reversed: Longstreet had regained all the ground lost and advanced one mile (1.6 km) further, forcing Hancock to regroup along the Brock Road. At a crucial moment in the fighting Longstreet attacked through a cutting of an unfinished railroad that had split the Union forces, increasing the confusion. However, Longstreet did not have enough men to complete his victory, and the fighting soon petered out near the Brock Road. As the fighting wound down on this part of the battlefield, Longstreet was badly wounded by
friendly fireand did not return to the Army of Northern Virginia for several months. (By coincidence, Longstreet was accidentally shot by his own men only about convert|4|mi|km away from the place where Stonewall Jacksonsuffered the same fate a year earlier.)
Just as this phase of the battle was ending a division of the Second Corps under Maj. Gen.
John B. Gordonlaunched a final assault on the Union right, partially turning the Army of the Potomac's flank and taking close to 1,000 prisoners. But darkness fell and ended the battle, before the Confederates had a chance to press their advantage.
In one of the more horrifying incidents of the war, a brushfire broke out between the two armies' lines during the night. Hundreds of wounded soldiers left on the field died screaming as they were burned alive in front of their comrades.
On May 8 Grant ordered the Army of the Potomac to resume its advance, and a few days later the armies clashed again at the
Battle of Spotsylvania Court Houseconvert|10|mi|km to the southeast.
Although the battle is usually described as a draw, it could be called a tactical Confederate victory, but a strategic victory for the Union army. Grant withdrew at the end of the battle, usually the action of the defeated side; but, unlike his predecessors since 1861, Grant continued his campaign instead of retreating to the safety of
Washington, D.C.Lee inflicted heavy numerical casualties (see estimates below) on Grant, but they were a smaller percentage of Grant's forces than the casualties his army suffered. And, unlike Grant, Lee had very little opportunity to replenish his losses. Understanding this disparity, part of Grant's strategy was to grind down both armies by waging a war of attrition. The only way that Lee could escape from the trap that Grant had set was to destroy the Army of the Potomac while he still had sufficient force to do so, but Grant was too skilled to allow that to happen.
Estimates of the casualties in the Wilderness vary. The following table summarizes estimates from a number of sources:
Battlefield preservation
Portions of the Wilderness battlefield are preserved as part of
Fredericksburg and Spotsylvania National Military Park, established in 1927 to memorialize the battlefields of Fredericksburg, Chancellorsville, Spotsylvania Court House, and the Wilderness. In addition to this land that has been protected by the National Park Service, several volunteer organizations have been active in preservation activities. The [http://fowb.org Friends of the Wilderness Battlefield] have been active in helping to preserve and enhance the Ellwood Mansion, which was the headquarters for both Gouverneur K. Warrenand Ambrose Burnsideduring the battle and the family cemetery there holds the plot where Stonewall Jackson's arm was buried. While the NPS acquired convert|180|acre|km2 of Ellwood in the 1970s, the FOWB is responsible for the preservation of the 1790s era house and its interpretation. The Civil War Preservation Trustin 2008 began a campaign to prevent the development of a convert|141000|sqft|m2 Wal-MartSupercenter on a convert|55|acre|km2 tract north of the intersection of Routes 3 (the Germanna Highway) and 20 (the Orange Turnpike), immediately across Route 3 from the National Military Park, near the site of the Wilderness Tavern. Other organizations supporting the campaign are the "Wilderness Battlefield Coalition", which includes the Piedmont Environmental Council, the National Trust for Historic Preservation, the National Parks Conservation Association, Friends of the Wilderness, and Friends of the Fredericksburg Area Battlefields.

It's airbrush time! Long awaited, but finally here! As I mentioned before in the previous chapters, I wanted to depict the box art version for my model.
After staring at photos and corresponding with some friend -modelers from Belgium, I did not get any wiser about the NATO colors. Some photos of Belgian F-84Fs had dissimilar tints of grays and greens than others when several if not all planes went thru maintenance a few times and got a new paintjob or touch-up with slightly different shades of the same FS.
Then there is "weather fading", flight wear and tear and sun spoil (from the few days a year the sun actually shines in Belgium). All these factors play a big role in the life of a factory new color scheme.
Since I opted for the Belgian demo and show Thunderstreak I concentrated on those photos and tried to match the colors as close as possible. Since I like Vallejo acrylics and am very familiar with the brand, I selected about 6 numbers that I thought would do the trick by mixing and matching what I deemed somewhat "correct" for my project.
But before I could load my gun with paint pellets, there is the dreaded task of canopy masking. For that I used model masking tape but regular painters making tape will work just as fine. I placed the tape somewhat nonchalantly, trying to match up at least one edge of the canopy.
Then I "pushed" it into the corners of the edges with the back of a scalpel blade until I obtained a crisp crease line that the sharp end of my blade could line up with. Then slowly and gently, I started to cut following the edge of the canopy.
Once that was done, I glued the canopy pieces in place. If you decide to close the canopy like I did, make sure that all seams are "air tight". Nothing is more catastrophic when the spray of your paint gets somewhere through the cracks and dust the interior. Or worse, the inside of the canopy!
I contemplated of leaving the canopy off until after the airbrushing but then you run the risk of not being able to line up the clear pieces without blemishing the paint and or spilling glue. Again, this is only when you choose to close the canopy completely.
Other than that, we are ready! Next time, I will have some data on the paint mix and application of paint and decals. We're almost there! Don't go away!

Pope Francis to visit Cuba before U.S. trip
c. 2015 USA Today
Pope Francis will visit Cuba before arriving in the United States in September, the Vatican said Wednesday (April 22). Jesuit Father Federico Lombardi, Vatican spokesman, confirmed the news to reporters in a statement made in Italian, Spanish and English.
"I am able to confirm that the Holy Father Francis, having received and accepted the invitation from the civil authorities and bishops of Cuba, has decided to pay a visit to the island before his arrival in the United States for the trip announced some time ago," Lombardi said.
The pope is scheduled to visit Washington, New York City, and Philadelphia starting around September 23.
Francis would be the third pope to visit Cuba, after St. John Paul II in 1998 and Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI in 2012. Francis has been credited with helping the United States and Cuba reach their historic rapprochement by writing to the leaders of both countries, inviting them to "resolve humanitarian questions of common interest," according to a Vatican statement.
The Vatican said it received delegations from both countries in October and helped facilitate a dialogue.

Thanksgiving week. Before you get quietly drunk and incapacitated from a turkey coma while your uncles argue about healthcare and gay marriage I encourage you to join us for what's sure to be an extra jolly evening at "It Just Got Weirdo: A Wordy Evening @ Weirdo Records (Thanksgiving Edition)"!!!
This time out we've got comedy from Emily Ruskowski, Alingon Mitra, Dan Boulger, & Lamont Price!
And some superb storytelling courtesy of Aimee Rose Ranger!
You should come to the show because it will be a tremendous amount of fun, you'll see some of Boston's best talent, and you don't often get to see comedy in a venue the size of two handicapped bathroom stalls. If that doesn't convince you, I'll simply add that you might walk away with a heavily used 50th anniversary VHS edition of "The Wizard of OZ"…so, yeah, come on out! As always, you'll be glad you did.

Right, I'm going to make some of my own hobby time again, not too much, I'm still sculpting some Artillery Crew for the Kickstarter, but you've heard enough about that for now (huzzah it was bloody successful!), but I've neglected it - and the blog - for a little too long now!
The first bit of catch up I'm going to play is to shout out to Colonel Winterbourne's blog again, last month he and I teamed up for games Workshops Darkfall: Vidar's Fate campaign weekend. I was my usual (useless) self when it comes to taking photo's at these things, but Phil was snap happy!
He has pictures, of our armies mustered together for a little photo shoot, from a game we played against each other, the games we played together and plenty from his own and even some of my individual games (seriously, how did he find time to play games amongst taking all these pictures?)
Here's a quick sample of some of the pictures, but if you want to see them all, go over and take a look at his blog!
Though the Imperium failed to defend the Vidar system, the Praetorians did the Emperor proud, Phil's 4th Mechanised won all five of its games, while my own 4th Foot won four and drew the fifth. Why don't I play like that at tournament's?!? Of course thats not to speak of our game, which Phil won in no uncertain terms! I think I need some Thudd Guns.... *mutter mutter mutter*....

Fort Lauderdale Debt Collection Harassment Lawyer
If you have had an overdue bill sent to collections before, you know what a pain it is to deal with collection agencies. Did you know that you have very clear rights about what debt collectors can and cannot do? Sweeney Law, P.A. can help you identify illegal debt collection practices and stop the harassment, contact our experienced Fort Lauderdale debt collection lawyers today.
FDCPA & FCCPA: Debtor Rights
You have a right to fair debt collection. Both the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA) and the Florida Consumer Collection Practices Act (FCCPA) outline very strict statutes on what is fair and what isn't. If you are experiencing one of the following scenarios, you may be entitled to a statuary compensation and recover actual damages and even attorney fees. Debt collectors are not allowed to:
- Call too frequently.
- Contact you at work.
- Call you before 8 A.M or after 9 P.M.
- Use profane, obscene, or vulgar language.
- Pretend to someone associated with the government or law.
- Directly or indirectly disclose any information to anyone besides the debtor and his family.
- Contact you directly when aware that you have an attorney.
- Adding additional collection fees or charges to the debt.
- Attempting to collect more than you owe.
- Attempting to collect a debt that is not legitimate.
- Threatening wage garnishment, repossession, or arrest.
"Debt Collectors" aren't just collection agencies. The FCCPA requires credit card companies, cell phone companies, apartment complexes, auto loan companies, healthcare companies, hospitals, or any entity with which you have a financial obligation to follow these guidelines.
If you are being harassed in any way, it's time to get help from a debt collector harassment lawyer. To assist us in your case, save any letters, texts, or voicemails, keep a log of the phone calls you receive and the numbers they call you from, and make notes of any conversations you have had with debt collectors.
Important Things to Know about the FDCPA
The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA) is a powerful tool consumers can use to stop the harassing, annoying and threatening conduct of bill collectors who are trying to collect a debt, regardless of whether that debt is valid or in dispute. While the FDCPA can be very useful to stop harassment and even recover money damages for unlawful activity on the part of collection agencies, there are important things you need to know about what the FDCPA can and can't accomplish. Read on to learn more about the FDCPA, and call Sweeney Law, P.A.to stop unfair debt collection in Broward, Palm Beach and Miami-Dade counties with the help of an experienced and dedicated Fort Lauderdale consumer law attorney.
The FDCPA only Applies to Debt Collection Agencies and not the Original Creditor
The FDCPA applies to "debt collectors." A debt collector appears on the scene when the original party you owed money to (bank, car dealership, utility, phone company, furniture store, etc.) hires a third party to collect the debt on its behalf, or sells/assigns the debt to that third party. Since the debt collector is in the business of collecting debts and has no personal business relationship with you, debt collectors are more likely to use less scrupulous or more harassing or threatening means to collect from you. The FDCPA was designed to stop the most annoying, embarrassing or intimidating practices of debt collectors (also known as bill collectors or collection agencies), and to provide a means to hold them accountable through civil lawsuits when they break the law.
The FDCPA only applies to the original creditor in limited circumstances, such as when the creditor goes under a different name to try to collect the debt. However, Florida's fair debt collection law, the Florida Consumer Collection Practices Act (FCCPA), does apply equally to the original creditor as well as third party debt collectors. If the original creditor is the one engaging in harassing or threatening conduct, call Sweeney Law, P.A. for assistance pursuing a claim under the FCCPA.
New Regulations may Expand the Scope of the FDCPA
In 2010 Congress passed the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, and this law created the Consumer Finance Protection Bureau (CFPB). Although created primarily to take on predatory lending, mortgage disclosures and credit discrimination in home buying, the CFPB has already expanded into many areas of consumer protection, such as payday loan debt traps.
The CFPB seems ready to take on debt collection as well and may enact regulations expanding the scope of the FDCPA. The FDCPA was enacted in 1977 and has never had an agency with rulemaking authority over it until now. The CFPB currently has abundant information on debt collection on its website and has issued a proposed regulation (Regulation F) to expand the coverage of the FDCPA. Some highlights of the proposed regulation include:
- Focus on medical and health debt, credit card debt, telecommunications debt and student loan debt
- Require notification that a debt has been sold or placed with a third party for collection
- Require debt collectors to make sure they collect the correct debt
- Further limit excessive or disruptive communications from debt collectors
- Make it easier to understand the details of a debt and the ability to dispute it
- Allow the consumer to demand documentation of the debt
- Prohibit a debt collector from transferring a disputed debt, or prohibiting a new debt buyer from collecting on a disputed debt
How the FCCPA Supplements the FDCPA
If you have been looking for relief from unlawful harassment by creditors and bill collectors, you have probably become aware of the Fair Dept Collection Practices Act (FDCPA) and may have educated yourself on important things to know about the FDCPA. The FDCPA is a federal law that limits the activities of collection agencies and gives consumers the ability to sue bill collectors when their rights under the law have been violated.
Even if you know about the FDCPA, you may not know about the Florida Consumer Collection Practices Act (FCCPA). The FCCPA is Florida's version of the FDCPA, but it is not just a replica of the federal law. The FCCPA is actually broader than the FDCPA in some critical areas. Learn more about the FCCPA below and how it supplements the FDCPA. To put a stop to unlawful collection activity and recover money damages for any harm caused by creditor harassment, call Sweeney Law, P.A. in Fort Lauderdale.
Florida Consumer Protection Applies to the Original Creditor
The FDCPA only applies to bill collectors or collection agencies. These are companies who have been hired by the original creditor to collect the debt for the creditor, or who have purchased the debt from the original creditor and are free to collect it on their own if they can. The original creditor or loan originator is not covered by the FDCPA and cannot be sued for actions which would otherwise violate the protections of the FDCPA.
The FCCPA, on the other hand, applies to all creditors, including the original creditor. If a car dealership finance company, electronics or appliance store, cell phone store, credit union or credit card company is violating the terms of the FCCPA, you may be able to sue for damages in a Florida court.
Florida Allows Punitive Damages against Violators of the FCCPA
Both the FDCPA and the FCCPA allow a consumer to recover actual damages (the actual economic harm caused by the unlawful practices) along with $1,000 per claim and attorney's fees and costs. Additionally, punitive damages are allowed under the FCCPA when it can be shown the creditor or collection agency acted maliciously. Punitive damages are meant to punish a defendant for especially bad or outrageous behavior, and to send a message to other potential violators of the law that society simply will not tolerate such conduct. Punitive damage awards are not tied to the actual damages suffered but are awarded by a jury based on the level of misconduct and the size of the company. Although punitive damages are typically harder to get than other types of damages, at Sweeney Law, P.A., we do not shrink from a fight; our experienced courtroom litigator will pursue punitive damages whenever appropriate.
Stop Unfair Debt Collection and Recover Money Damages
If you are being constantly harassed, annoyed or threatened by bill collectors or creditors, or if they are embarrassing you by showing up at your work or sending postcards in the mail, you can do something about it. Call Sweeney Law, P.A. for help from an experienced Fort Lauderdale debt collection lawyer working to stop unfair debt collection practices in Broward, Palm Beach and Miami-Dade Counties.

There is little doubt that former President Bill Clinton's speech during Wednesday night's Democratic National Convention was nothing less than a barn-burner. "Loose and ebullient, sprinkling his text with ad libs, Clinton reminded viewers what a powerful speaker he is, and how his pleasure in speechifying can be contagious," wrote EW's Ken Tucker. "Obama has his work cut out for him [Thursday] night to top this."
Clinton's oratory had the added effect of blasting away the cobwebs from an evening of speeches from non-professional speakers that ranged from agreeably engaging to stilted and bland — in marked contrast to the DNC's first night of expertly choreographed and electrically delivered addresses. One need only look over the faces of the convention crowd Tuesday night to get a sense that many attendees were pretty much just waiting for the evening's headliner to show up already. Forthwith, I give you the top 15 faces of people biding their time for Bill Clinton, rating their state of political lethargy ranging from 1 (fifth season of The West Wing) to 10 (five-hour C-SPAN broadcast about sorghum futures). Enjoy!
State of political lethargy: 4
State of political lethargy: 7 — "I knew my hat needed more flair."
State of political lethargy: 7 — "What is Paul Begala yelling about now?"
State of political lethargy: 5
State of political lethargy: 8 — "Madeleine Albright's giant pin is maaaking meeee sleeeeeeepyyyyyyyy."
State of political lethargy: 6 — "Girlfriend, you are no Michelle Obama."
State of political lethargy: 5 — "Boyfriend, you are no Deval Patrick."
State of political lethargy: 3 — "These glasses are the only thing that's keeping any of this interesting." BONUS: Eva Longoria Oh-no-Piers-Morgan-didn't-just-ask-me-about-Clint-Eastwood face
State of political lethargy: 5 — "Why does Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz insist on blocking my view?"
State of political lethargy: 7 (would be higher but for the amazing hat)
State of political lethargy: 6 (would be higher but for the glow-in-the-dark eyeshadow)
State of political lethargy: 4
State of political lethargy: 7 — So that's what happens to Parks and Recreation's April in season 5…
State of political lethargy: 4 — "Should've brought those lemon squares."
State of political lethargy: 9 — Ladies and gentlemen, the 2004 Democratic nominee for President of the United States.
EXTRA BONUS: Eva Longoria hate smile for Piers Morgan!
"I know you just did not manhandle my Christian Louboutin heels."

This document contains 28 pages and constitutes my self-branding created for the Corporate Design class. From the logo in all its allowed shapes over design elements to several media it contains everything necessary to support a Corporate Identity through means of a uniform appearance.
It all starts with the complete NJ EnJott brand which you have come across on this website in its negative white-on-blue version. Its parts obviously refer to my initials and use two precisely defined shades of blue in the positive variant. Letterheads and templates for faxes according to German regulations set up by the DIN are there just like definitions for presentations. The business card's landscape format like that of the whole document supports my specialisation in digital media since displays used for such usually have a horizontal layout as well. The CDM is completed by a template for printed advertisements and a simple, now replaced website-design. The continuously used reference EnJott.de is obviously outdated as well. The document is still of high quality technically as it implements the contained standards precisely and uses vector-graphics with few exceptions for best scalability.
