I feel that one of my greatest weaknesses is that I underestimate myself and my abilities. For a large part of my life, I've had a voice in my head that told me that I'm not good enough.
- Not good enough to be a writer, so I never took the time to write.
- Not good enough to be a dancer, so I never pursued competition.
- Not good enough to make it as a programmer, so I never submitted an application to anyone other than teachers and close friends and afterward I never bothered to save my own code.
Not pretty.
It is only when I stop myself and look at all the little things that I do and make a daily list of accomplishments that I find the strength say, "Yes, I can and did."
They say life is made up of little things, and it is up to all of us to find the little things in life that will move us forward.
One time, I said that I'd rather live a life where I regretted some of the outcomes of things that I'd done rather than living with the regret that I didn't do anything. Turns out that I was living a life filled with simple regret instead of going out there and just living.
I'm not going to get on the horn and start outlining all the things that I plan on doing because I know how plans can change. All I can do is be true to myself and look at how I can change my course to live my dreams...

The Covid-19 pandemic caused a seismic shift to home working. Even those resistant to the change for years – employers and employees alike were forced to embrace this new normal. According to a report from Gartner, 41% of employees are likely to work remotely at least some of the time post-COVID-19, up from 30% before the virus took hold.

.Augmented reality is emerging as a tool that is transforming the classroom. Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, schools have closed, year groups sent home to quarantine, and classrooms have moved to the home, albeit temporarily. Never before have we ever needed a technology to transform learning at home and support home-schooling - whether teachers are running digital classrooms or parents teaching their children in a more engaging way.

"We have always wanted technology to be a key enabler in our business so that it could leverage us into a position of strength. The benefits that are derived from using modern technology are self-explanatory. Up until now we have been skeptical about fiber laser cutting fitting into our business profile and we were uncertain whether the technology had reached a point whereby it was worth investing in it," explained Tony Windt, Managing Director of TWR Steel Service Centre.
"In metal fabrication, no laser has penetrated the market as deeply as the CO2 gas variety. Over 25 years ago, when CO2 laser cutting was introduced, people jumped onboard because they could get better edge quality than they could with plasma and profile cutting. With laser you have a near finished product and the component can then be put into fabrication without additional preparation. The high accuracy and clean cutting finish achieved by a laser is a more expensive process. However, not all components need the accuracy of a laser-cut. In this case either plasma or oxyfuel can be used as they are lower-cost processes."
The new Bystronic BySprint 6kW Fiber 4020 laser cutter
"When we established TWR Steel in March 2012 CO2 laser cutting was a proven technology. At the time fiber laser cutting was a relatively new fabricating technology, having debuted on the global stage at the 2008 EuroBLECH event in Hannover, Germany."
"As a result we purchased a Bystronic 6 kilowatt machine that has a bed size of 6.5 x 2.5 metres and a Bystronic 4.4 kilowatt machine with a bed size 4 x 2 metres. We have been cutting steel plates in thicknesses of up to 25mm, material dependent. The majority of the material that we cut is carbon steel across all our processes – we also have a Messer high definition plasma cutter and an oxy-fuel cutter – but in recent years stainless steel and aluminium demand has been on the increase."
"The CO2 laser was the industry workhorse for a reason: It's inexpensive compared to other legacy technologies like Nd:YAG laser cutting and it offered a beam quality suited for cutting and welding metal. But it does have drawbacks. The CO2 laser requires a hefty supply of lasing gas. To get the beam from the resonator to the metal takes careful alignment and maintenance of mirrors. And when it comes to power consumption, they aren't the most efficient systems. They draw a lot of power and produce extremely hot gas that requires cooling. That's basically why the CO2 laser's wall plug efficiency – or the optical power from electricity consumed – is only 10 to 12 per cent."
The new Bystronic BySprint 6kW Fiber 4020 laser cutter now allows TWR Steel to cut light gauge material at a fraction of the time it used to take on it's CO2 laser
"Our business was built on cutting thicker plate and it will continue to play a significant role, both in tonnage processed and turnover. However, we started to get more demand for cutting thinner gauge and we also needed more capacity. Eventually the CO2 lasers could not keep up with demand needed on light gauge sheet metal, and its economic efficiency was limited to thick metal work. We needed another choice and this is when we started to look at the fiber laser, especially as the process had now advanced dramatically technologically."
"The fiber excels at cutting light gauge material, but for thick plate, not so much – at least that was the common story. But just within the past few years, the story has changed, just as I did. I hate to admit it but I did not have any faith in fiber laser cutting when the technology was first introduced."
"But now when the fiber laser – so called because the laser is created by diodes that are fed into fiber optic cables where the excitation process takes place and is then delivered to the cutting head by another fiber optic cable similar to one used for data transfer – gets going with cutting thin gauges, it needs to be constantly fed with material. And we now have clients that require production runs of thin gauge components."
"Then there's the speed advantage. Roughly speaking, because there are many variables to take into account, on 1mm gauge our new fiber can cut five times as fast and on 5mm three times as fast as compared to our CO2 lasers. That's an increase of 500% and 300% respectively on the cutting speeds. At the upper level of a fiber laser's thickness range though – a gap that is reducing now – the speed difference does change in favour of the CO2 lasers. That cutting speed disparity is reduced when the fiber laser is programmed to cut thicker material. As the materials get thicker, the speed advantage goes away as power becomes more important in the equation."
TWR Steel have also purchased a Bystronic ByTrans Extended for loading and unloading the laser cutting system
"Fiber laser cutting systems can be easily spotted by the tinted glass, designed so that operators can gaze safely at the work and be protected from the invisible scattered or diffuse reflected laser beam on the other side. And though the machines do not use lasing gas, they do use common assist gases, such as oxygen, nitrogen, argon, and compressed air."
New Bystronic BySprint 6kW Fiber 4020 laser cutter
"We decided on the Bystronic BySprint Fiber 4020 machine with a Fiber 6000 laser source because the higher power considerably increases the BySprint Fiber's cutting speed in the thin to medium range sheet metal thickness. For example, a 6kW fiber laser cuts 3mm stainless steel up to 70% faster than a 4kW fiber laser. Its speed advantage is even more pronounced when compared to cutting the same material with a 6 kW CO2 laser source where the 6 kW Fiber laser is three times faster. Bystronic has equipped the 6kW version of the BySprint Fiber with Cut Control to monitor the cutting process. When a cutting tear occurs, Cut Control automatically stops the laser and the cut is repeated. This reduces the risk of miscuts."
Bystronic ByTrans 4020 Extended
To prepare for the fiber laser's arrival TWR Steel rearranged the entire area where laser cutting was taking place. It did this because it still intends to keep its two Bystronic CO2 lasers productive and more importantly it had to accommodate a Bystronic ByTrans 4020 Extended.
TWR Steel have also purchased a Bystronic Xpert 80 press brake
"The ByTrans Extended takes over loading and unloading of your laser cutting system. The ByTrans Extended design has not just one but two cassettes, thereby making the machine system even more autonomous."
"With the BySprint 6kW Fiber 4020 laser cutting as fast as it does it made no sense not to include a ByTrans Extended."
"We followed the keep-it-simple policy, and we bought a relatively simple loader/unloader rather than a more complicated part-sorter style. You can kill yourself with technology if you go too far."
"The fiber laser hasn't stopped running since its implementation. It is actually pushing downstream activities to operate at a faster pace."
Bystronic Xpert 80 press brake
To respond to the need for additional bending capacity TWR Steel have also purchased a Bystronic Xpert 80 press brake.
"Continuing the concept of the mobile press brake, with the smaller version Xpert 40, already established in the market, Bystronic recently launched the Xpert 80, which offers a decisive increase in bending length and press capacity and as a result opens up a wide spectrum of applications. In a footprint of less than 3m², it offers a bending capacity of 80 tons over 1.5 metres."
"The new, larger press brake can bend material up to 20mm thick and is suitable for almost any task, from large volume runs to small batch and job shop production of complex parts. The machine may be equipped with multiple tools to enable all bends to be completed sequentially. ByMotion drive control, a Bystronic development, ensures that the Xpert 80's upper beam and backgauges are accelerated with high precision. Fast bending speeds up to 25mm/s are attained."
Sensible investments
"We are confident that the investment in the new fiber laser cutting capacity will pay off. The machine is operating as promised, and the company's preparation has paid off, too, in that there were no major hiccups during installation and early operation. Looking down the road, the machine will require less maintenance as it doesn't have the moving parts or mirrors found in its CO2 equivalent."
"The lack of surprises has helped us keep up with work and maintain a solid cash flow position. That feeds the ability to invest in new equipment when it's needed to respond to changing customer demands or market developments."
"It's part of the plan. You can't stay relevant if you don't have the latest equipment, and you can't buy the latest equipment if you aren't growing."

POLICE hunting a teenager who fired a pellet gun into the face of a Coventry bus driver have appealed for a vital witness to come forward.
Officers believe that a man travelling on the bus may have seen what led up to the attack on a driver picking up passengers in Foleshill Road at around 10pm on Sunday.
Police say the possible witness, who was white and in his early 20s, caught the bus in Bedworth and got off just after the attack.
Sgt Anna Freeman, of Coventry police, said that the man may be able to give a description of the teenager.
The youth, thought to be aged 13 to 14, pointed a pellet gun at the driver's face and pulled the trigger. A pellet lodged in the man's lip.
Police have launched a major hunt for the teenager, who was around 5ft tall, had blond, crewcut hair and was wearing a white sweatshirt.
Travel West Midlands have offered a #1,000 reward to help catch whoever was responsible for the attack.
Police want the mystery passenger, or anyone with any information, to call officers at Foleshill on 02476 539 849 or the Crimestoppers confidential hotline on 0800 555 111.

There's been an explosion of interest in small-batch distillation in the US. Lew Bryson runs the rule over the boom to see what we can expect to see over this side of the pond
If you're old enough, you'll remember when 'American beer' meant Budweiser, or Coors Light: commodity lagers that were like sex in a canoe – both fucking close to water – as the old laugh went. Now American beer means big brawling bitter IPAs, overpowered imperial stouts, or some fruity variation of something else that's not afraid to step outside of the lines. They've opened up a new space for beer, and British and Scandinavian (and Italian and even a few German) brewers are trying some of the same ideas.
Brace yourselves: American whiskey is right behind them, running the same game plan. They're innovative: they're using alternative grains like buckwheat, quinoa, and millet, or maybe brewers' variations on plain malt, like crystal, or chocolate, or cara pils. Some are making whiskey directly from IPA, or imperial stout, or witbier.
They may smoke the grain with a mad variety of woods and herbs – tobacco-smoked corn, anyone? – or age the whiskey in a small barrel stored in a metal shipping container in the hot Southern sun.
With well over 1,500 distilleries now open in the US, up from maybe two dozen in 2000, and many of them making whiskey, the variety of products is truly baffling. Not many are in the UK yet, but they're definitely coming. Here's how to get ahead of the game.
Standards of Excellence
First, let's get one thing straight: the old, established bourbon makers? They're not making Budweiser-grade whiskey. Good whiskey is good whiskey, it doesn't matter who makes it, and the remaining big distillers survived because they made good whiskey.
Doubt me? My shelves are stacked with them. Jack Daniel's may be a cola mixer, but their Single Barrel is another story. Jim Beam is a bit fiery and a one-note shout, but its younger sibling Booker's takes all that and hammers it into a killing-stroke whiskey of rippling power. Four Roses make its Single Barrel and Small Batch bottlings, which are not just delicious, but a masterclass in whiskey making.
The UK even gets its own super bottling – Heaven Hill's Evan Williams 23yo, a bottle widely desired here in America where we can't lay our hands on it.
Whiskey sales have taken off in the US after decades of decline, especially from cool new distillers
There are also non-distiller bottlers, folks who buy bulk whiskey and pick specific barrels to mingle. Some of them are well-known names, like Rebel Yell, Bulleit, Michter's, and Ezra Brooks, and some are new labels, such as Templeton, High West, Belle Meade. The whiskey comes from a variety of sources, some openly known – Bulleit Rye and Templeton, for instance, buy stock from the MGP distillery in Indiana – while others keep their sources a close secret.
Again, as is the case with the big distillers, many of these whiskeys are excellent. MGP, in particular, supplies top-notch whiskey to these bottlers. But to make things more confusing, each of the brands mentioned in the previous paragraph has either already built a distillery and is making spirit, or is well along in building one. That's what happens in a whiskey boom.
There's nothing old enough to put in bottles from the new plants yet, but they're coming. I've tasted early runs from a couple, and it's quite promising. Meanwhile, the sourced whiskeys from each of the brands mentioned above are worth paying attention to.
New Ideas
Then there are the smaller, newer distilleries, the ones that have chosen to dive headfirst into production. It's been a chancy proposition for some, because small distilling comes with a built-in headwind – several of them, in fact.
First, there's time, the most-often overlooked ingredient in whiskey. A new distillery that wants to sell whiskey will have no product for at least six months. 'Whiskey' in US law does not have a minimum age requirement, it just states it must be 'stored… in new charred oak containers'. As that whiskey does age, you want to sell it to have money to buy more grain to make more, but you also want to keep some to age more. You increase the price to control demand, rather than sell everything out.
Second, a small, new distiller is paying more for almost everything than a large, established distillery. They pay more for grain, barrels, power, maybe even water – though they likely pay less for labour. All this inescapably ratchets the price up.
Now add to those the problem of being unknown. The distiller has to take those disadvantages and the premium prices they entail in its stride, and somehow go out and make its brand known and desired. It's not easy, especially when the fellows who decided to buy someone else's whiskey and label it saved all the cash that you spent buying a building and kit, and they're using it to advertise and buy bar-branded glasses (and bartenders' leather jackets).
Of course, it would be a much rougher road if so many people hadn't suddenly decided that whiskey is the stuff they must have in their glass. Whiskey sales have taken off in the US after decades of decline, and folks are willing and eager to try new whiskeys, especially from cool new distillers that fit into the
new love of local producers.
That demand has also hit the major producers, prices have soared, and a lot of popular products are gone from the shelves. Not great news for us, but perfect timing for the small producers. Their prices are more competitive, and they can get a solid foothold in the market.
Coming of Age
There's more good news for the whiskey drinker. We've reached a critical mass of new producers who have 4-to-6yo whiskey available. Remember, that may sound terribly young, but American whiskey ages in a warmer climate and in new barrels. It matures more quickly than Scotch or Irish whiskeys, which age in cooler climate and used usually ex-bourbon barrels. While I prefer a 12-to-18yo Scotch whisky, I like my bourbons in the 5-to-8yo range.
More and more craft whiskeys are moving into that sweet spot, which means that more and more interesting experiments are getting to the age where we can see what they can really do. Young whiskeys can be delicious – one of my favourites, Dad's Hat Rye, is great at nine months! – but there's another level of maturation when they get older.
Six craft distillers you need to know about
We like innovative, creative whiskey, but not
poorly made, five-month-old whiskey. Keep
these distillers in mind for experience and quality…
Balcones, Waco, Texas
Grab that bottle of blue corn-made Baby Blue. Or the Texas Single Malt. Or if you think Ardbeg isn't smoky enough, dammit, the Brimstone.
Maverick Drinks, 01892 888443
Cedar Ridge, Swisher, Iowa
Cedar Ridge sits in the middle of miles of arguably the
best corn grown anywhere. Taste it in their 5yo bourbon.
Koval, Chicago, Illinois
An eau-de-vie distiller makes whiskey; tightly focused, grain-forward whiskeys, with separate grain identities.
Amathus Drinks, 020 8951 9840
Leopold Brothers and Stranahan's, Denver, Colorado
Stranahan's makes malt whiskey in new barrels at high altitude. Leopold Brothers is trying heirloom-grain types, different yeasts, and a throwback three-chamber still.
Rock Town, Little Rock, Arkansas
These guys fly well under the radar, but might just be the most underrated distillery in the US making excellent bourbon.
Some that are hitting that age that you'll actually have a shot of getting include the following:
Colkegan is a burly mesquite-smoked single malt from Santa Fe, New Mexico. Aged at a dry 7,000 feet, it's a scorcher.
Copper Fox has improved with age in the past few years. A single malt made with house-malted grain, smoked over applewood. Importer being arranged – watch this space.
Dry Fly in Washington State makes a variety of whiskeys from different grains, including a triticale wheat-hybrid whiskey, and a wheat whiskey finished in port barrels, both of which are notable.
Few Spirits makes an excellent, spicy rye just outside of Chicago, and it just keeps getting better as it gets more age on it. Founder Paul Hletko was on a European selling tour as I wrote this.
46.5% abv, £55.95/ 70cl; Maverick Drinks, 01892 888443
Hudson is well-known, and well-connected; they were bought by William Grant & Sons. Its Hudson Baby Bourbon is a Manhattan favourite. 46% abv, £31.84/ 35cl; William Grant & Sons, 01256 748100
Journeyman has been fairly low profile, but that's changing as the Michigan-based distillery ships its well-made organic whiskeys nationwide.
Westland, the Seattle-based American single-malt producer, was bought by Rémy Cointreau in late 2016. Keep an eye out for its Garryana bottling, aged in Garryana oak, a local species that gives the whiskey a spicy barbecue-sauce character. Rémy Cointreau UK, 020 7580 6180
Westward is an American single malt, aged in new oak barrels, made in Portland, Oregon, from barley grown in the Pacific Northwest. Arriving late 2018
Whistle Pig is a special case and most bottlings are excellent Canadian-made rye, but its Farmstock bottling adds some young whiskey made from its own Vermont-grown grain.
(10yo) 50% abv, £73.95/ 70cl; Axiom Brands, 020 3774 6845
Wyoming Whiskey is making whiskey the American way: on a column still, ageing in new barrels. But the high, dry terroir of Wyoming definitely does something very interesting to it.
What to Do?
You have several options at this point. You can skip the small producer whiskeys completely and stick with the tried and true. It's not as backwards as it sounds. When producers like Buffalo Trace are ageing whiskey in Mongolian oak (had it; good, but not insanely different) and Beam is putting out Little Book (a blend of bourbon and malt, rye, and corn whiskeys that is fantastic and worth the big price), you've clearly got an industry that has accepted the challenge of the small producers.
There's always new and interesting stuff coming from the big guys. The hard part is getting any of it – big companies, big customer lists, and small batches usually means disappointment.
You can dip your toe in the small whiskey pond. You could try something safe, that you know will be good, like a sourced whiskey that's a solid 10yo. It's different enough that your customers will feel daring, but you'll feel hollow inside. So instead try a couple of those – because they're good – but get a couple of the ones I've recommended. Mix with them, sip them, get to know them, and talk them over with your customers.
You probably don't want to go all in at this point and get a whole section of these new whiskeys. Not enough steady supply, not enough willing customers, and not enough time to find them, get to know them, and then talk them all up.
And not all of these are going to be to your taste, or your customers'. Some of them are outright weird, some of them are overpowering, and some of them are just going to taste better in a couple of years. But maybe you want to get some experience with a few of them, so you know what's coming down the pike.
It's all educational, right? That's how you learned about American craft beer, after all. Step up.

Exagon Furtive e-GT displayed at 2013 Geneva Motor Show
French marque Exagon Motors who has its headquarters near the Magny-Cours race circuit brought to the 2013 Geneva Motor Show some stunning Furtive-eGT, in silver and copper/bronze colours, calling them the haute couture of electric cars based on the top of the range performance.
The luxurious handmade electric super car with its carbon fiber and honeycomb body made its debut last year last October at the Paris Motor show and the first vehicles will be delivered to their owners at the end of 2013.
This four-seater Grand Tourer, sports two liquid-cooled Siemens Corporate Technology electric motors, linked by a ZTI three-speed semi-automatic gearbox with seamless torque delivery, developed by Exagon and each motor develops 148 kW, or 402 bhp. Maximum power between 5,000 and 10,000 rpm is available in one-tenth of a second, with constant torque of 516Nm(258 Nm x 2) between 0 and 5,000 rpm.
The two inverters convert the direct current from a 53 kWh lithium-ion Saft battery into alternating current. The inverters drive the motors in two modes, based on torque or engine speed, modifying amplitude and frequency as necessary.
Top speed is limited electronically to 250 kilometers per hour (155 miles per hour) and can go from 0-100 kph (62 mph) in a scant 3.5 seconds and has a range between 360 km (224 miles) over an urban cycle (ECE15 standard) and 310 km over a combined cycle (NEDC standard) and has four operating modes for a personalised driving experience: standard, eco, city and sport.
Exagon also offers an optional range extender, which is a small combustion engine of low cubic capacity that recharges the battery when it reaches its range limits. The range extender increases the overall range of the Furtive-eGT to 807 km with 25l of fuel over a standard ECE15 cycle, or 734km with 25l of fuel over a standard combined cycle.
The French electric supercar reportedly comes with a supercar price tag of over $500,000, not exactly an environmental friendly car for mere commoners.

It's no secret the Beardsley Zoo cares tremendously for their animals. So, when one of their own unfortunately passes away, they grieve as though they lost a family member. Sad to report that the zoo recently had to euthanize their red wolf, Harper.
CT Post reports that the zoo's 12-year-old red wolf lost his battle with an aggressive form of cancer. The zoo made the difficult decision to put him down after his health took a turn for the worse.
Zoo director Gregg Dancho confirmed his passing today:
"Harper will be deeply missed by all of us here at Connecticut's Beardsley Zoo . He had a unique personality and related well both to his companion, Shy, and to his animal care staff. It has been our privilege to have known him since December, 2014."
For many years, Harper was one of the first animals to greet the zoo's guests. Children delighted in his chill nature, as he normally enjoyed lazing in the sun, observing guests, and spending time with Shy.
Harper and Shy both participated in the Species Survival Program, which also includes the tigers and maned wolves. The latter two have since reproduced with two mischievous tiger cubs and three adorable wolf pups.
Wildlife experts label the red wolf a critically endangered species. Red wolves are actually one of the five most endangered wolf species in the world. They once neared extinction in the 1900's, but conservation efforts helped the population bounce back.
However, only about 50 red wolves remain in the wild.
And since Shy remains a crucial member of SPP, the zoo will search to find her a suitable mate to fill Harper's paw prints.
As for Harper, the zoo did everything they could to save him. Beardsley's animal care and veterinary teams worked tirelessly to treat his cancer. They tried battling his aggressive cancer with an equally aggressive regimen of medical therapy so he had a fighting chance. But, in the past weeks, his health began tumbling downhill.
Eventually, the only humane option was to put him to sleep after his health began declining rapidly. The Zoo's Quality of Life protocol supported the decision.
RIP, Harper. The zoo won't be the same without you.

Bari Musacchio, owner of Baz Bagel & Restaurant
For the last feature in our Women's History Month series, we are excited to share the story of one of our favorite bagel spots, Baz Bagel & Restaurant! We learned that passion is something you fight for and isn't to be ignored.
Interview with Bari from Baz Bagel:
How'd you get into the restaurant business? Was your initial plan to own a food business? If not, what was your initial desire?
My summers in college, where I was studying biology and sociology, were spent working at Ceci Cela, a bakery on Spring St., that has been around for 25 years. I slowly realized that the one day I worked there each week was the one I looked forward to the most, so I decided to go to the French Culinary Institute to begin my career in the food industry. I traveled to Italy to study at Alma, work with wine, and work in different kitchens to absorb as much as I could. I wanted to know everything about it. I think I really got bit by the bug in Italy. When I got back I realized there were no bagel stores in my neighborhood and bagels were how I treated myself every Sunday on my day off.
Who is the mastermind behind your recipes?
My Grandma Joyce. She is where all of the Jewish recipes come from, like latkes, and matzo ball soup. For the bagels, I worked in a bagel store for free to learn the ins and outs of baking.
How has being a woman owner of a food business impacted the way you run your shop?
In certain areas you have to be much stronger than a man would have to be. People expect you to be a pushover. You have to be a little over-assertive with the guys to make sure they respect you. For the girls at the front of house, I see that I'm inspiring the ones who have their own entrepreneurial dreams. Its like 'you go girl!'
Who or what was your inspiration for your decision in running your own business?
My father has a lot of businesses and I've always appreciated the lifestyle he has. I can remember him always being on the move traveling or by the pool relaxing, and I hoped one day I would be able to do the same and not be on someone else's clock. I also knew if I was going to work extremely hard I wanted it to be supporting myself.
What are some of the challenges you have had to overcome, if any?
I think with any business the challenge is finding your path. You have to let the business dictate itself and be able to grow and move with it. People are also a challenge. Relying on people to come together in a way to make things happen. Vendors, coworkers, etc. But when it does it's amazing. I look around during a brunch rush hour and am thankful for how everything came together-the baker, the bagel rollers, the waiters-all the different components in sync.
What advice would you give to women who are afraid or hesitant to start their own business?
Just do it. You have to take risks for those types of rewards. Its not easy and you have to be prepared for the challenges. There will be mistakes everyday, but it's about how you prevent them and solve them in the right way. Its about how you overcome them and keep going everyday. The world is changing. Women are at the forefront of so many businesses. And the best part of what I chose to do is realizing that I'm inspiring others to do the same.

Due to rising demand and customer requests for more convenient availability of our hotshoe, we are now expanding to numerous distribution points around the world.
The Lightshoe is rather unique. It makes the shoe's contact with the ground more stable, and, as Gary's sponsored riders will confirm, its unique shape helps to keep each rider's foot in the right position while sliding.

Long ago people got the food they needed from small local farms or specialty stores: bread from the baker, meat from the butcher, milk from the dairy, produce from the farmer, etc. Small 'general stores' supplied additional, non-local items. The range of products available was extremely limited.
Today we have modern supermarkets with an enormous variety of food, satisfying all kinds of tastes along with the convenience of a mini drug store and thousands of other products for your home. The supermarket, of course, does not make what they sell – not even products with their own brand; they are 'distributors' of products made by manufacturers and wholesale distributors from all over the country and the world. As a result, the variety and selection available, the convenience and the time and money saved by the customer is unprecedented in history.

Oak Leaf Shawl Pin
Sale price
Regular price
Unit price
This pin is modeled after a bur oak leaf collected from my garden. Using the oak leaf as a pattern, I cut out the shape and then texture the piece before attaching the sterling silver vein. The sterling silver pin back is forged and constructed from heavy silver wire, and includes a double catch clasp. The gorgeous colors come from flame oxides that are a product of the soldering process. The colours are preserved with several coats of waxes. The sterling silver components can be kept bright with a polishing cloth, or allowed to oxidise to compliment the rich tones of the leaf.
Approximately 7" long and 3" wide, this is a substantial piece of art jewelry. Wear it with your favourite blanket scarf, shawl or cozy cowl neck sweater.
The pin back also features a loop that will allow the wearer to add a chain to create a truly fabulous oversized pendant.
Two versions available - see the other pin here:
This piece is one of a kind, but I would be happy to make another for you. The reddish patina is a result of oxidation while heating, so while the colours will be similar, I cannot reproduce the same finish each time. The unpredictability of the oxide patina is my favourite part of the creative process when making these leaves.

Pretty Link – Tidy Affiliate Links
Today I'm going to talk about a WordPress plugin called Pretty Link. One of the problems with affiliate marketing is handling affiliate links. In order to keep track of who is referring visitors to a product's sales page, it's essential for sellers and merchants to give each affiliate a unique link that indicates to their Website who referred a visitor to them. That way, should someone make a purchase, the appropriate affiliate can get credit (and commission!) for the sale.
The problem with that is that affiliate links, by their very nature, are going to be ugly. At best, they're going to look like a normal link but will have a structure that makes it clear that the link is an affiliate link:
at worst, they're going to look strange:
Neither format is likely to encourage people to click on them. People actually do check to see where links are going before clicking on them and a link that makes no sense might scare people. Others will avoid obvious affiliate links, thinking "I'm not clicking on that. He's just trying to make money from me." As an affiliate marketer, it's vital that you get people to click on your affiliate links, because that's the only way you're going to get paid. If no one clicks, you make no sales and thus, get no commissions.
So, how can you get people to click on an affiliate link? By making it look like something more visitor-friendly. That's where Pretty Link comes in. Pretty Link is a plugin for WordPress that gives you the ability to take long, ugly or obvious affiliate links and make them look more like something your visitor would want to click on.
Pretty Link Overview
There are two versions of Pretty Link; Pretty Link Lite and Pretty Link Pro. While the Pro version has a lot of useful features, it's also somewhat expensive, at $97. Pretty Link Lite, on the other hand, is free, and you can download and install it from within WordPress itself. Just click Plugins – Add New in the menu on the left side of WordPress and type in "Pretty Link Lite" in the search window. You can then click the link to install it and activate it. It should just take a minute or two.
To use Pretty Link Lite, just click on the words "Pretty Link" on the left hand menu. On the next screen, click "Add a Pretty Link." This will take you to the screen where you'll enter the information to create your link.
Under Redirection Type, leave it at the default of "307 (Temporary)". In the Target Window field, you enter your full affiliate link, including the http or https. In the example shown, I've entered a pretty long and ugly link from Clickbank for a weight loss product. In the Pretty Link field, you enter the nickname you want to give the link. This will be the part that your visitor will see if they move their mouse over the link before they click on it. In this case, I simply chose to call it "LoseWeight."
For Title, you simply enter some text that will tell you what this Pretty Link represents. I entered "Weight Loss Clickbank Link." There are a few other check boxes below, and you can ignore all of them except one. It's a good idea to look at the one under "SEO Options" and make sure that the box for "Nofollow" This Link is checked. This will, in theory, prevent search engines from following the link to see where it goes. While there is no obligation for search engines to abide by "nofollow" requests, most of them do and I'll explain why you want to have Pretty Link do this.
There are several reasons for checking that box. One of them is that your site may "bleed" pagerank if you link to another Website with a "dofollow" link, which most links are by default. Pagerank is a measure by the search engines of the importance of your site, and a "dofollow" link from your site to another is considered a vote for that site and with that vote, you give up a bit of your own pagerank to the other site. The other reason why you should check the "nofollow" box on the Pretty Link page is that it will hide the fact that the link is an affiliate link from the search engines. Some search engines, particularly Google, are not fond of affiliate links or affiliate marketers. Adding the "nofollow" attribute to the link probably won't prevent Google from discovering that your link is an affiliate link, but it can't hurt and Pretty Link can help with that.
The end result is a Pretty Link that will look more appealing to your Website visitors. Instead of an ugly Clickbank link, for instance, we'll have a link that looks like this:
If you're talking about a weight loss product on your page and you introduce that link, your visitor will be more likely to click on it than if you just have a bunch of random-looking characters in your link. One particularly good way to name your links is to name them for the product itself. In the case above, if the link was for a product called Fat Loss Extreme, then you might use that in your Pretty Link and end up with something like:
That will give your visitors even more incentive to click on your affiliate link. Another great advantage of using Pretty Link is that it makes it possible to change a number of links on your site at once. Suppose, for instance, that you're promoting a product from one company as an affiliate and you find another company that offers higher commissions for the same product if you work through them instead. If your current affiliate link appears on your site 50 times, you'll have to go through every page and change 50 links. On the other hand, if you've been using Pretty Link, you only have to change the link on the Pretty Link setup page, and the other links on your site will automatically update.
Pretty Link Summary
Pretty Link is a great tool that makes it easy to keep track of your links and gives visitors more incentive to click on them. And more clicks should lead to more commissions.

Google Reportedly Working on a Standalone AR Headset
Google is back into the wearable segment, and this time, they seemingly appear to be delivering a more solid outcome than the ill-fated Google Glass. According to newly emerged reports, the Mountain View Company is working on an AR headset that could push the limits of what we are being offered today.
Codenamed the A65, Google's AR headset will be a standalone headset that would feature power and display right within it to untangle it from external sources of the same. We are not sure of what all the specifications would be, but it's being said that the device would have a custom quad-core IoT chip from Qualcomm, the QSC603 opening up some interesting possibilities.
The QSC603 supports resolutions of up to 2560×1440 pixels, which could bring in a huge upgrade to the headset displays if used to full potential. It could also feature 1080p video capture, 3D overlays, Open GL, Open CL, Vulcan support to bring out something that stands out from the rest. On the connectivity front, the headset is said to feature Bluetooth 5.1 and GPS connectivity.
Another interesting addition is the support for Google Assistant. Google is said to be incorporating cameras and microphones into its AR headset to enable hands-free navigation with the help of on-board Google Assistant.
Given the specifications, Google's AR headset would vastly be differentiated from its own Google Glass, and it will fall more in line with the HoloLens from Microsoft with given its AR affiliation. There is no word on a release date, and presumably, we are still a bit far from that point. But yes, it does have a prototype in the works, which could get more public in the near future.

The European Origins of Economic Development
NBER Working Paper No. 18162
Although a large literature argues that European settlement outside of Europe shaped institutional, educational, technological, cultural, and economic outcomes, researchers have been unable to directly assess these predictions because of an absence of data on colonial European settlement. In this paper, we construct a new database on the European share of the population during colonization and examine its association with the level of economic development today. We find: (1) a strong and uniformly positive relationship between colonial European settlement and development, (2) a stronger relationship between colonial European settlement and economic development today than between development today and the proportion of the population of European descent today; and (3) no evidence that the positive relationship between colonial European settlement and economic development diminishes or becomes negative at very low levels of colonial European settlement, contradicting a large literature that focuses on the enduring adverse effects of small European settlements creating extractive institutions. The most plausible explanation of our findings is that any adverse effect of extractive institutions associated with minority European settlement was more than offset by other things the European settlers brought with them, such as human capital and technology.

In my last article I talked about the fact that the music industry wasn't ready for the Digital Age. In effect, there weren't companies that were prepared to launch an online music store that would rival the ease and convenience of file-sharing.
The launch of Apple iTunes was in January of 2001[1], but it was two years after the initial release of Napster[2]. Moreover, there are still people who complain about the cluttered iTunes interface. We've also seen the launch of internet radio platforms like Pandora or streaming sites like Spotify. Though it is less visible to the general consumer, the compensation program offered to artists through these mediums is a subject of great contention.
Artists need money to pursue a music career. That much is clear to most observers. However, if artists can't profit from their recorded music, then they are left with significantly fewer options to create a sustainable career. Many jaded consumers feel that music should be free, and their hope is that the age of 15 - $20 CDs never returns. There are even those who believe artists should have to work a second job to support their career[3]!
Notwithstanding, the illegal copying and sharing of music continues. How is this affecting the music industry and artists at large?
The Book Industry
I made mention of this in my last article, but Rhapsody founder Rob Reid was one to point out the fact that the book industry was better prepared to handle the emerging Digital Age than the music industry[4]. Comparatively speaking, there are far fewer cases of piracy, illegal copying and downloading of copyrighted works in the book sector.
Why? Reid explains that companies like Amazon were just better prepared to handle the shift. E-readers, tablets, effectual online stores and apps made the transition a smooth one, and a satisfying one for the consumers. So long as the consumers are happy, it appears that piracy is a non-issue.
The Controversy
There are many stances on the subject of piracy, and if it could be boiled down to a few facts and statistics, there would be no need for controversy. The topic has been debated, discussed and dissected countless times.
However, the question is beginning to change. People used to wonder how piracy was affecting artists, and to what degree. Today, people are asking if piracy affects artists at all.
It's not terribly realistic, but if the issue could be split into two sides, most people would take one of these stances:
Piracy Doesn't Affect Artists
There are studies showing that piracy doesn't affect artists at all[5]. In fact, some believe that file-sharers generally purchase more music than people who don't use peer-to-peer networks. In theory, these file-sharers sample the music, and if they like it, they then buy it.
In the same breath, the same entities suggest that music streaming is also having a positive impact on music sales, essentially for the same reasons.
In studying this matter, one has to consider whether or not there are companies or individuals that serve to benefit from the legalizing of file-sharing. Perhaps some are simply trying to delay decisive action on the part of authorities. Studies and data can be manipulated to show whatever one wishes, and if there is a compelling enough reason to do so, some do.
Piracy Hurts the Industry
Some people firmly believe that piracy does hurt the industry[6]. Many artists view cases of illegal downloading as lost sales. Others state that stealing is wrong, and that file-sharing is nothing short of crime.
As you delve deeper into this matter, what you'll discover is that there is a difference between unauthorized copying and piracy (not that one is better or worse). Unauthorized copying is the act of ripping a CD to your computer for the purpose of listening to it at home or burning a CD for your car. Piracy is the act of taking an unauthorized copy and then capitalizing on it. In other words, it's not piracy unless you're making money off of it.
The Law
One has to consider whether or not the current copyright law servers the greater good or if it is too outdated to handle the present realities of the music industry. Currently, singing a popular song on the street corner or covering a song at a venue that doesn't have a blanket license is illegal. Is that the type of protection artists really need, or would they much prefer firmer laws or better handling of recorded works?
Can the law really play a meaningful role in regulating piracy, or is it too late? Could legal entities help artists and labels gain a footing in this matter, or would that only serve to aggravate the fans and the consumers?
As you are surely beginning to see, this issue of file-sharing and piracy is a complex one. There are convincing arguments on both sides, and the lines become blurred when you take into account the varying thoughts in between.
As technology continues to evolve and visionaries continue to innovate, there is definitely hope for artists to get fairly compensated for their recorded works in the future. Moreover, while digital sales haven't made up for plummeting CD sales, CDs are still bought, vinyl records are still bought, and placements and licensing opportunities continue to increase. Music streaming is also more profitable than most artists realize, that is, if you were to look at the metrics (a single spin on the radio reaches thousands if not tens of thousands of people; a single play on a streaming site reaches one person).
Music is a competitive field; there's no doubt about that. Artists do have to work to earn a place on people's playlists. Some of the apparent problems of the industry are brought into sharper perspective when you realize that there is always an equal or greater advantage for every disadvantage. One's greatest weakness always has the chance to become their greatest asset.

Pork Chop Basics – Brining and Cooking indoors
Brining pork chops is a great way to ensure your chops are tender, very juicy, and full of flavour. In this recipe, I explain how you can cook your chops inside, but you can also grill them as we do here. This brine makes enough for 6 chops.

Pork Chop Basics – Herb Rub
Thick, pastured pork chops are a thing of beauty. Unfortunately many of us were raised on overcooked pork chops as a preventive measure against trichinosis. The good news is that cases of trichinosis have all but disappeared, and the trichinae are killed at 137˚F, so if you cook your pork to 148˚F, you are guaranteeing safety from pathogens and ensuring your pork will be juicy. We like to rub our chops with an herb or spice rub, like the one below and then grill them, but brining, as well as pan-frying will also yield delicious results, and you can learn those techniques here. This herb rub is found in The Complete Meat Cookbook by Bruce Aidells and Denis Kelly, and they provide several other rub and brine recipes in their book as well.

Green Lentil and Bacon Salad
from Bon Appetit, May 2001
Yes, a "salad" made with ham and bacon! But lots of parsley and plump little lentils add balance, resulting in a very tasty, substantial dish. This recipe sounds a whole lot more delicious in french: "Salade de Lentilles Vertes au Lardons", but it is fantastic no matter what you call it.

Old-Fashioned Ham
An "Old-Fashioned" Ham is a leg roast that has been cured, giving it that pink, salty flavour we all know of as, simply, "ham." However, there are also "fresh" hams, which are simply pork leg roasts.
If I'm looking for a classic roast "old-fashioned" ham, I use this recipe, from the magazine Bon Appetit.

Caucasus-style Braised Pork Shoulder
From Gourmet magazine
Pork Shoulders are absolutely divine. Divided into the butt, or the slightly tougher picnic, both are amazing in recipes involving braising. If I wanted to really make someone weak in the knees, this recipe would do it. It takes a fair bit of advanced preparation but trust me, the results are well worth it.

Natural men's skincare, deodorant and grooming products
Dirty Man: The tools to finish the Job
Did you ever raid your mother's cabinet for her Nivea moisturiser? Thought not.
And how many men, do you know, who'll tell their mates they use Dove Men+Care or L'Oreal for Men? (Let's hope 'you're worth it' when they spot those brands in your bathroom).
Or you could use Dirty Man – a man's skincare range (made in New Zealand) for men who aren't afraid to get their hands dirty, but like to feel good about washing-up afterwards (we think Joss Stone feels the same way...).
After a hard day, maybe climbing a skyscraper with your bare hands like the human spider Alain Robert, unblocking a fetid drain, rustling cattle or tapping the keyboard, a man wants to look good, smell good and feel good.

Wearing braces can be a nuisance. Many people decline orthodontic treatment because of the time commitment. The Wilckodontics system has solved this problem. Many orthodontic cases can now be completed in 3 to 8 months. This is 3 to 4 times faster than conventional orthodontics. Social obligations should no longer be an overwhelming obstacle. With the Wilckodontics system, less time in treatment translates to less disruption in your personal and work schedule. Due to the shortened treatment time, your Wilckodontics procedure can be scheduled not to interfere with weddings, vacations, proms, or other important social events. The benefits of a shortened treatment are complemented by the quality of a pleasing smile.
How can these very short treatment times be possible?
Recent scientific advances have enhanced our understanding of healing and bone growth. Although bone is one of the hardest tissues in the body, it is very much alive. Because of its dense nature, bone changes very slowly. These changes in bone are called the "remodeling process". By performing a minor periodontal procedure, this dense bone is softened, accelerating the remodeling process. It is this process of accelerated bone remodeling that sets the Wilckodontics system apart from conventional orthodontics. This softened supporting bone permits the teeth to move into their new position much more quickly. Routine braces and specialized Wilckodontics appliances are still required to move the teeth. Once in position, the teeth are simply held in place while the supporting bone hardness around the teeth. Complete healing of the newly remodeled bone occurs in approximately 8 months. The Wilckodontics technique provides the patient with a beautiful, long lasting smile, in the shortest time possible.
The Periodontal Procedure
Most procedures are done simply with local anesthesia. Many patients call this process "Novocaine". A safe sedation can also be prescribed if the patient or doctor feels it is necessary. This sedation will relax the patient, making the time pass quickly. An antibiotic saturated, bone-grating material is placed under the gums through a few small incisions made by the periodontist. The graft is placed only over the areas where the supporting bone needs to be softened. This creates the ability to perform easy tooth movement. After straightening the teeth, the grafting materials will convert into the patient's own supporting bone. The newly formed supporting bone not only helps to hold the straightened teeth, it also supports the lips. This is an added benefit, preventing the sunken face appearance that can accompany aging. The end result is a beautiful, prominent smile for years to come.
Is there any discomfort?
Most patients report only minor discomfort from the periodontal procedure. This is due to the fact that your Wilckodontics doctor (Dr. Mark Frenchi) is a highly trained professional. Even though discomfort is usually minimal, you can expect minor swelling and possibly light bruising. Both of these findings normally resolve themselves over the first week or two. The procedure probably will not impact an average daily routine after the first day or two. Most patients are back to school or work the very next day.
Because the supporting bone is softened, many patients do not report significant discomfort, which can accompany wire adjustments in conventional orthodontic care. Wilckodontics patients have a much-improved orthodontic experience.
Is the Wilckodontics system the best treatment for me?
The Wilckodontics system will dramatically decrease the treatment times in the majority of orthodontic cases in both adolescents and adults. Your orthodontist will need to determine if the Wilckodontics system is suitable in your case and if so will refer you to a highly trained in the Wilckodontics technique periodontist.
How about the cost?
Since there are additional procedures involved, you will find the Wilckodontics procedure more expensive than conventional orthodontics. When you consider the shortened treatment time, increased bone support for the teeth and lips, and a ore stable periodontal situation, the expense is well worth it. Your Wilckodontics professionals will provide you with the costs involved in treating your specific case.
Are financial plans available?
Yes. Of course, your Wilckodontics professionals will assist you in determining the payment options available in their offices.

Estate Planning is Not Just for the Wealthy or Elderly.
Most people have a tendency to only think about estate planning as they get older, however, an estate plan is just not for the retired. We cannot predict when illnesses, accidents or disabilities will occur. People who have built some wealth, do think more on how to preserve it, but estate planning is not just for the wealthy either. Good estate planning is more important to families with more modest assets, as they can afford to lose the least.
Do You Have a Plan?
Too many people just don't have a plan. There are individuals that put off estate planning for many reasons – whether they think they just don't own enough, are not old enough, are too busy, have plenty of time before they pass, or just don't want to think about it. Then, when something does happen to them, it is their family members who will have to pick up the pieces. If you don't have a plan, the state does, and you are probably not going to like it.
The Best Time to Plan in Now.
No one really likes to think about our own death or the possibility of being unable to make decisions for ourselves. This is how so many families are unprepared when it happens. Don't wait until it's too late. Merritt Law Office is here to help you put something in place now.
Peace of Mind
Knowing you have a properly prepared plan in place will give you and your family peace of mind. This is one of the most thoughtful and considerate things you can do for yourself and for those you love.

Typically, when I tell someone my major in college is marketing, most people think sales. But, what most people don't consider is how a product or service is converted to a sale. That sale is the end result of a strategy to market that particular good or service.
In one of my very first marketing classes, my professor opened the class with a quote by the founder of Revlon, Charles Revson. "In the factory we make cosmetics, in the store we sell hope." That quote has resonated with me since that class.
One topic I've always found interesting is consumer behavior. Understanding how a consumer reacts to a marketing strategy and why is key. I recently read an article about how the traditional marketing approach is shifting from persuasion to a shared value creation to fit ever-changing consumer behaviors. At BlackOut Design, I see this theme especially when talking about First Friday Scranton. While it's true that the organization is trying to "sell" the event- get artists to display their work, persuade local businesses to donate or participate- what the organization truly seeks to do is create a vibrant and energetic art scene. The goal of First Friday's marketing strategy is to create a sense of community through art and entertainment.
This article suggests a different approach to the marketing process- RMR, which stands for recognition, matching and response. Similar to STP (Segmentation, targeting & Positioning), RMR works in a three-step process. First, the marketing organization has to identify the issues the consumer is trying to resolve to fulfill their needs or wants. Secondly, marketers must match those needs to the product or service available. Finally, once consumer needs are recognized and matched, the response is created to communicate the product or service to the appropriate audience
Marketing involves far more than designing a logo and advertising the product or service to consumers. Marketing involves storytelling, creating a brand image, communicating that brand to consumers, evaluating how well you've communicated the message, then refocusing the strategy to fit the appropriate audience.
So, while sales and marketing go hand in hand, there's far more that goes into the process than meets the eye. Marketing is the transformation of ordinary cosmetics made in a factory into hope for the consumer in the store .

Colorado lawmakers on the Joint Budget Committee expressed frustration Wednesday that even though the state's voters approved taxes on retail marijuana sales as required under the Taxpayer's Bill of rights, some of that revenue might have to be refunded under TABOR if more taxes are collected than officials estimated.
JBC staff delivered a 100-page report to legislators outlining most of the scenarios that could occur of if the state collects more than the official $67 million estimate for the first full fiscal year of recreational pot sales, from July 1, 2014, through June 30, 2015.
That estimate was given to voters in the official voters pamphlet — known as the Blue Book — last fall, which explained Proposition AA, the new taxes established for retail marijuana sales. That booklet estimated likely revenue from new pot taxes at $67 million in the first full year. (The ballot language itself pegged predicted tax revenue at $70 million.)
Most current estimates, however, show the state will likely collect far more than $67 million.
The report outlines three courses of action:
– Wait to see how much tax is collected, then ask voters to let the state keep any excesses;
– Send a refund of any taxes collected above the estimate; or,
– Attempt to reduce the 15 percent excise tax on wholesale sales and 10 percent special sales tax in order to keep the amounts collected under $67 million.
"This is a bizarre result that we'd have to refund all that tax money just because what we asked for [was an estimate] in a year when this is going to be a growing industry," said JBC Vice Chairman Sen. Pat Steadman, D-Denver, at a meeting of the budget panel Wednesday.
"It's been the will of the people who passed TABOR," said JBC Chairwoman Rep. Crisanta Duran, D-Denver. Continue reading

One of my favorite journalists passed away today. Tim Russert, famous for his tough interviews on Meet the Press, passed away today from what appears to be a heart attack. He was one of those few journalists who you could genuinely believe that he had no agenda except to find out the truth and that you could trust what he said. One of the best things on TV was to see him catch some politican in a lie, with a video clip ready at hand to prove that the politician lied.
Watching him during the coverage of this year's election was fascinating. He looked so excited to be witnessing a historic election between Obama and McCain. Unfortunately, he won't be able to report on the conclusion.
Unfortunately these days, there are precious few of these journalists anymore. Now there is one fewer.
Watching everyone on MSNBC right now trying to report on the news is heartbreaking. The anchors are crying or trying badly not to, the guests have wonderful stories, etc.
R.I.P. Tim.

Tom Ninan '91
New CSEA President Developed Leadership Skills at RCC
As the president of the Rockland CSEA unit, Tom Ninan '91 oversees union activities for more than 1,700 County civil service employees, including 200 from RCC. But his leadership abilities were first honed at the College, when he was president of the Student Senate and charged with responsibilities empowering him to later forge successful careers in military operations, real estate and social services.
"RCC made me who I am, basically," says Ninan. "It gave me the foundation to springboard to the next level of education and in my career. I was entrusted with leadership roles and the deans I worked with gave me guidance and inspiration to fulfill my ambitions."
Ninan received no fewer than four degrees from RCC – a pair of AAs, an AS, and an AAS in Electrical Technology. He went on to earn a Bachelor of Liberal Arts at SUNY Regents College (now Excelsior College).
Before enrolling at RCC, Ninan attended the U.S. Army Signal Center in Fort Gordon, Ga., earning a diploma in multi-channel communications systems operations. He served in that capacity in the Army National Guard's 101st Signal Battalion in Orangeburg for more than a decade. He also worked with the Division of Military and Naval Affairs at Camp Smith in Peekskill.
Ninan embarked on a career in social services as a social welfare examiner for Rockland County. He has also operated a real estate business and worked as a property manager. He won election as Rockland CSEA unit president in July 2013. Ninan lives in New City with his wife, Mariamma, and three daughters.

Christianity Today: Looking for Moral Capitalism
The Dow plunges 936 points in one surreal day of panicked trading—and then drops some more. Surging home foreclosures threaten to swamp the formerly high-flying financial industry, which meekly submits to new strictures accompanying an unprecedented bailout from Uncle Sam. Twelve million mortgage holders suddenly owe more than their homes are worth.
One man in a Chicago suburb fell behind because of health problems. Unable to pay his $729,000 mortgage, he finally sold the house—for $450,000. "I kept hoping the market would level off," he told the Chicago Tribune. "I never imagined this would happen."
The painful economic crisis is forcing all of us to rethink our assumptions. Home buyers—some of whom borrowed more than they could reasonably expect to pay back, others of whom got caught up in forces they never expected—are rethinking the supposed stability of real estate. Lenders, guilty of what one financial journalist pegged as "breathtaking corruption," are rethinking acceptable sales practices. Politicians, who loosened lending standards and removed long-standing barriers to irresponsible risk taking, are rethinking their oversight role.
Economists, for their part, are rethinking the balance between free enterprise and government regulation. Irwin Stelzer, director of economic policy studies at the Hudson Institute, calls the emerging consensus the "new capitalism," an approach that rejects excessive risk and emphasizes social justice in areas such as executive compensation.
So is capitalism dead? Probably, if by capitalism we mean the ugly rush to profit at any cost that we have seen of late. But reports of the death of capitalism, which has brought more wealth to more people than any system in history, may be greatly exaggerated—if we can resurrect the idea of economics being a serious moral business. Referencing Adam Smith, Al Mohler, president of Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, notes, "The economy is a moral reality. Human beings actualize their moral selves in making economic choices." ...

We begin thinking about the environment. Here, and here, and here. We consider what to leave out, what to put in, and what to make smaller faster, more efficient. We think about power. And how to power, that power. Because our ecosystem is part of a larger one.
So we're building a 40-megawatt solar farm in China, big enough to power our offices and stores across the country. And since our ecosystem also includes billions of iMessages, and huge libraries of music, films and pictures, we're powering our datacenters with 100% clean energy. That's why we're using turbines in Oregon to turn the natural flow of water into 12,000,000-killawatts/hours of energy here.
We think about the environment in our packaging – too. With the paper we use, and its affect – out here …
So we're directing our innovation, into conservation – to get to Net Zero.
We're learning more and more. About new places where we can be better. With renewable energy, hydropower, and forest preservation. New ways in which we can leave the world better than we found it.
