Business: Mobilization for World War II
Impact of War.
World War II was an event of enormous consequence for business and industry. Before the war, caught in a deflationary spiral, industry longed for customers and closed plants for lack of demand. As the 1940s began, Europeans, desperate for goods with which to wage the already-raging war, paid for millions of dollars' worth of goods. Factories reopened, and new workers were hired to meet the demand. Government programs to mobilize and supply the American military furthered the recovery. Yet the marketplace proved poorly responsive to the political and military emergency. As business recovered, for example, more and more industries devoted their production to meet increased consumer demand at the very time government officials were seeking greater military production. Shortages of raw materials were common; so too were strikes and labor disputes. All of these factors combined to retard the production necessary to supply the American military completely. While some within the Roosevelt administration favored the wholesale appropriation of private industry in order to meet war priorities, the president, following the precedent of the New Deal, favored government oversight of private industry as the best way to mobilize for war. Government and industry created a mixed public/private economy to advance war production. Even before the attack on Pearl Harbor, the character of...

Defense Spending under Scrutiny: The Truman Committee
The Truman Committee, officially known as the Senate Special Committee to Investigate the National Defense Program, was organized by Sen. Harry S Truman of Missouri. He wanted to contribute to the war effort, but he was too old to serve as an artillery officer, as he had during World War I. Concerned that the money spent on war preparedness was being wasted in corruption and inefficiency, he began his investigation in 1940 by driving thousands of miles to visit military bases and other projects to investigate complaints. Concluding that his concerns were accurate, on 10 February 1941 he delivered a speech to the Senate describing the waste he had uncovered.
The Senate then established a special investigative committee to examine all aspects of war production, placing Truman in charge. While serving on the committee, he approached the issue of war funding with tenacity and caution, vigorously pursuing government officials and businessmen who wasted taxpayer money while also taking care not to hurt the incipient war effort or to damage the Roosevelt administration politically. Beginning in 1941 and continuing well into World War II, the committee investigated the construction of army camps and uncovered evidence that $100 million of a $1-billion budget was being wasted. The main problem was the cost-plus system, in...

The Economy: War Taxes and Financing
War Deficits.
The economic recovery of World War II was the result of massive federal expenditures for defense. The government spent approximately $360 billion on the war, at times as much as $250 million a day. A little under half of these expenditures were raised by taxes; bond sales and deficit spending accounted for the rest. Throughout the war the government operated in the red; by 1945 the national debt was a staggering $260 billion.
Taxation was the government's best means of raising revenue, but tax policy was a complicated political construction, the product of numerous compromises between interest groups and their representatives on Capitol Hill. The Roosevelt administration hoped for a heavily progressive tax geared toward the wealthy. Such taxes would raise the greatest revenues and dampen inflationary pressures by reducing disposable income. From the experience of World War I, Roosevelt was also concerned about excess profits and price gouging by large corporations and wealthy individuals. He proposed an excessprofits tax on corporations and a cap on personal incomes of $25,000 to prevent this—impossible ideas politically, but ideas the administration used to gain tax concessions from privileged interests. The 1942 Revenue Act, the basis of wartime financing, was a compromise. The tax structure was unprecedentedly...

Keynesian Economics
The Crisis of Capitalism.
Although a citizen of Great Britain, economist John Maynard Keynes had a tremendous impact on American business practices and in particular the role of the government in the economy. Keynes theorized that the Depression was not a result of overproduction, the most commonly given cause, but rather a problem of distribution. Although Keynes's ideas were initially rejected during the 1930s, in the 1940s they became widely accepted.
Priming the Pump.
Essentially, Keynes argued, the Depression was caused by a shortage of money that made it difficult to move goods from one location to another. The cure, as he saw it, was for the government to prime the economy's pump with deficit spending. An increase in government spending without accompanying tax increases would put more money in circulation and start the economy moving again. His theories were first put before President Franklin D. Roosevelt during the Depression, but at first Roosevelt rejected them because of his reluctance to use deficit spending to end the Depression. However, after the recession of 1936-1937 the Roosevelt administration halfheartedly adopted Keynesian economic policies. Before World War II the administration did not commit the nation to sufficient spending to end the Depression. In fact, Roosevelt had caused the economic slump by cutting...

The Military-Industrial Complex
As World War II was winding down, the alliance between the Soviet Union and the United States, brought together by a common foe, was deteriorating. Tensions between the two nations had existed since the Russian Revolution of 1917, and within a few years after World War II the two powers were engaged in a cold war. Following the war, the Truman administration made containment the cornerstone of all American foreign policy toward the Soviet Union. The policy of containment was originally devised by George Kennan, chargé d'affaires at the American embassy in Moscow. He argued that the United States and the Soviet Union could not coexist because the Soviet Union was by its very nature expansionist. The goal of the United States, according to Kennan, should be to apply counterpressure against Soviet attempts to expand, thus containing the Soviet empire. Successful containment of the Soviet Union, according to the plan, would mean its eventual collapse. This policy remained in effect for the next forty-five years and was the rationale behind American involvement in the Korean and Vietnam Wars.
The Cold War dramatically changed the American economy and the role of the federal government in business. Containment meant that the United States committed itself, for the first time in American history, to a large standing army...

New Markets: American Business Follows the Flag
During the 1940s many American businesses became truly international. During World War II American businesses expanded dramatically and acquired enormous wealth that could be used as investment capital after the war. In 1947 American investments abroad reached an all-time high of $26.7 billion, with a net outflow of $5.8 billion in loans and investments occurring in the first six months of 1947 alone. Both the private and the public sectors invested in overseas facilities; $16 billion in private capital and $ 10.7 billion in public capital went to foreign projects. Much government investment took place in new international agencies such as the International Monetary Fund, the World Bank, and the Reconstruction Finance Corporation of the Marshall Plan.
Open Markets.
The American policy was to open foreign markets as part of an effort to contain communism and to prevent another global economic disaster such as the Depression. Also, many American businesses took advantage of the collapse of the European imperial system resulting from the war, particularly the empires of France and Great Britain. One of the constant tensions between the United States and Great Britain during the 1940s was the fate of the British Empire. American leaders, especially President Franklin D. Roosevelt, wanted to dismantle the empire and its barriers to...

The Plan that Marshall Built
Rebuilding Europe.
In June 1947 U.S. secretary of state George Marshall proposed what became known as the Marshall Plan, in which suffering European nations trying to rebuild would receive American aid. The program, according to Marshall, would be "directed not against any country or doctrine but against hunger, poverty, desperation, and chaos." European nations, including the Soviet Union, responded quickly to the American offer. The Soviets and their allies withdrew after the first meeting, but the sixteen remaining countries reached an agreement with the United States. These countries initially asked for $29 billion in aid, but the United States cut this amount to $17 billion over four years, with $5 billion going to Europe in the first year of the program.
Marshall's proposal represented the culmination of much debate in Washington as to the best foreign-policy approach to the postwar world. Essentially,...

Supplying New Demands and Finding New Sources for Oil
Oil Czar.
During World War II the United States supplied the Allies with the bulk of the oil needed to fight the war, and oil was one of the most important strategic resources of the war. During the war U.S. secretary of the interior Harold Ickes also assumed the position of director of the Petroleum Administration for War, thus becoming an oil czar with unprecedented power over the oil industry. He increased domestic production and rationing civilian use of gasoline and other oil products to meet war needs. During the war American leaders in both the public and private sectors redefined the importance of oil and of overseas oil fields, particularly those in the Middle East.
Running Out of Oil.
In the December 1943 American Magazine Ickes published an article titled "We're Running Out of Oil!" In it he expressed concern about the rapid depletion of America's oil reserves, writing that the "law of diminishing returns is becoming operative. As new oil fields are not being formed and the number is ultimately finite, the time will come sooner or later when the supply is exhausted." For the first time in its history the United States would become an importer of oil rather than an exporter, which would have serious implications for national security. As Ickes and others saw it, the United States had to gain access to foreign oil to...

Unions: The Heyday of Organized Labor
During the 1940s the power of organized labor in the United States was at its height; at no other time in American history did labor unions exercise so much power and influence. Much of this power came from labor's close relationship with the Democratic Party and the labor shortages created by World War II. During the war membership in unions expanded dramatically, aided by the National War Labor Board (NWLB). In 1941, 10.5 million workers belonged to a labor union; by 1945 the number of union members had reached 14.7 million men and women.
Manpower Shortage.
The largest labor organizations, the American Federation of Labor (AFL) and the Congress of Industrial Organizations (CIO), both agreed to a nonbinding no-strike pledge for the duration of the war, but labor leaders soon became disenchanted with the NWLB as the agency implemented wage controls as an inflation-fighting tool. Further, labor leaders charged that representatives from big business dominated the NWLB and other wartime agencies. Labor leaders argued that a cap on workers' wages when wartime spending was driving inflation higher was unfair to working people. Eventually the NWLB allowed a 15 percent increase in wages. In addition, most workers made more money from overtime, which helped to increase take-home pay in some industries by as much as 70 percent during the...

Arden, Elizabeth 1884-1966
Elizabeth Arden reached heights of business success traditionally reserved for men by building a business that relied upon women for support. She astutely tapped into several important trends of the twentieth century when she entered the cosmetic business, taking advantage of the rise of a growing youth culture and consumerism and the increasing presence of women in the workforce. A strong-minded, driven woman who fit the classic image of the American entrepreneur, she relied on implementing good ideas, innovation, and invention to make her business prosper.
Florence Graham, the future Elizabeth Arden, was the fourth of five children born in Canada to immigrant tenant farmers; her mother was from England, her father from Scotland. Upon reaching adult-hood she tried a variety of jobs, working as a dental assistant, cashier, and stenographer before she moved to New York City with her brother.

Boeing, William Edward 1881-1956
Industrial Warfare.
William Edward Boeing went from being a general businessman to a giant in the aviation business during the 1940s. Most of this success came as a result of the need for new weapons. World War II was the first major war to be fought with the extensive use of airplanes in a variety of capacities, and airplanes were what Boeing provided.
Born in Detroit, Boeing studied at the Sheffield Scientific School at Yale University but left after two years without graduating. He then moved to Seattle, where he became a prominent timberman, land-owner, and yachtsman. Inspired by the new field of aviation, he organized the Boeing Airplane Company in 1915 with a friend, Conrad Westervelt, hoping to build better airplanes than the wooden ones then being used. The Boeing Company began manufacturing airplanes in a seaplane hanger in Seattle, where he copied the designs of European planes used in World War I. Two of Boeing's seaplanes attracted the attention of the U.S. Navy, which encouraged Boeing to develop a new plane that would...

Hillman, Sidney 1887-1946
Unlike most labor leaders, Sidney Hillman assumed a place in the Roosevelt administration, both through a series of official appointments and as a confidant of the president, that allowed him to operate at the highest levels of government. Hillman became a power in the Democratic Party and was a participant in the shaping of domestic economic and social policy throughout the 1930s and 1940s.
In 1887 Hillman was born to a Russian-Jewish family living in Zagare. His family had a strong rabbinical tradition and intended for him to follow a religious calling. Against his father's wishes he began to read books on Western social thought, and he soon became politically active. In 1905 he was arrested for participating in a public protest in support of the Russian revolution of 1905. In 1907 he immigrated to the United States, where he became involved in the New York Jewish socialist community.
Pragmatic Labor Leader.
HillMan's reputation came not as an ideologue but as a pragmatic labor organizer and a reasonable and fair negotiator. He helped to found and became the first president of the Amalgamated Clothing Workers of America in 1914. During World War I he made contacts with progressives in the...

Kaiser, Henry 1882-1967
Political Connections.
Henry Kaiser was one of the industrialists who most benefited from America's mobilization for World War II He headed the Liberty Ship program, which incorporated techniques of prefabrication and mass production to speed ship production. During the war his companies also built roads, boats, and shelters for the government, but primarily they built ships. His contacts allowed him access to the government officials who over-saw the allocation of resources, particularly steel, and they also provided him with access to the officials who supervised labor contracts and the allocation of materials.
Kaiser's production techniques fit in with President Franklin D. Roosevelt's belief that speed and energy were more important than efficiency in producing quality war goods. Kaiser was originally from the West, where he had developed a reputation for taking risks, for getting things done, and for receiving generous government contracts. His reputation for speed was belied by his physical appearance: he was a large, lumbering man of about 250 pounds who tended to bully...

Lewis, John L. 1880-1969
John L. Lewis was the most controversial labor leader and perhaps the most controversial political leader of the 1940s. As a labor leader he brought industrial unionism to many workers who had been previously ignored by trade unions and the American Federation of Labor (AFL), forever changing organized labor in the United States. During the 1940s he did not join the government or the Democratic Party as the newly organized industrial workers and their leaders did, instead charting a different course as an independent. In doing so he became one of President Franklin D. Roosevelt's most vocal critics and a lone voice among labor leaders in opposition to the expansion of the federal government.
Lewis's background was different from those of many other labor leaders, who had often studied socialist and Marxist thought. In 1948 he said that "there are two great material tasks in life that affect the individual and affect great bodies of men. The first is to achieve or acquire something of value or something that is desirable, and then the...

Murray, Philip 1886-1952
Early Years.
Born in Blantrye, Scotland, in 1886, Philip Murray arrived with his family in the United States on Christmas Day 1902. At the time of their arrival he was a coal miner and a union member like his father, who was president of a local coal miners' union in Scotland. He remembered attending union meetings at age six. He began working in the mines when he was ten and as a result had little formal education. His family was Roman Catholic and tutored him on both religious and social issues.
Early Involvement.
Working as a coal miner in western Pennsylvania, Murray became a labor activist because, as he explained, a "coal miner has no money. He is alone. He has no organization to defend him. He has nowhere to go. It is not inadequacy of the State law. The law is there, but the individual cannot protect himself because he has no organization. He has no one to go to." He joined the United Mine Workers (UMW), and in 1905 he was elected president of his local. He quickly moved up through the UMW bureaucracy by hard work and making contacts with labor leaders such as John L. Lewis. From 1919 to 1940 Murray served as a vice-president of the UMW under Lewis.

Nelson, Donald 1888-1959
The War Production Board. During World War II Donald Nelson assumed the responsibility for the entire mobilization effort, making him one of the most powerful men in the country. Many of the nation's leaders, including President Franklin D. Roosevelt and Sen. Harry S Truman, saw a need for a single centralized authority to coordinate economic mobilization. To this end Roosevelt created a variety of agencies but finally vested much of the power over mobilization in the War Production Board (WPB), with Nelson in charge of the agency.
Good Relations.
Nelson was a gregarious, likable man, which proved to be both his strength and his weakness as an administrator. During the period that he was in the government, his easygoing nature endeared him to the New Dealers in the Roosevelt administration at a time when many veterans in the administration were suspicious and resentful of dollar-a-year businessmen who had previously been its enemies. His personality and style also made his relations with Congress remarkably good, especially after he personally took up the popular cause of preserving small business in a period dominated by big business. Unfortunately for him, some people took advantage of his good nature. He allowed the army and the navy to control their own procurement and Roosevelt to...

Wrigley, Philip K. 1894-1977
During World War II Philip K. Wrigley, the chewing gum manufacturer, seemed an unlikely candidate for success. Initially it seemed that the war would temporarily halt the production of chewing gum, but Wrigley managed to turn it into an opportunity to introduce his company and his product to more people.
Philip Wrigley was the second child and first son of William Wrigley, Jr. He worked in the family soap factory and eventually moved into sales, where he excelled. In sales, according to Paul M. Angle, his "salient traits—unbounded confidence, flair, imagination, industry, and persistence—paid off." He assumed control of the Wrigley Company in February 1932. In coping with the Depression he departed from his father's politics and cautiously embraced President Franklin D. Roosevelt's New Deal, making the Wrigley Company one of the first to sign up with the National Recovery Administration. Wrigley also continued to take an interest in sales. Prior to the war the company had emphasized the taste and the "healthful" nature of its Doublemint gum, but a new sales pitch would be necessary during the 1940s.

Certainly, chewing gum was not an essential war commodity. Gum consisted of 50 percent...

Lobby was nasty!!! Chips someone decided to pour out of their bag on the end table in lobby. Was there when we checked out two days later. Two nights we were there across the hall from us was a dog that BARKED CONTINUOUSLY for the 48 hrs we were checked in. Upon notifying the front desk they laughed and said you must have been around the "ankle biter […] in 331"! My wife was livid! I travel all the time and by far this is the worst hotel have ever seen. I've stayed in some real dumps but this one takes the cake!!! Aside from nasty lobby barking dogs obviously incompetent front desk and management. The housekeepers kept clean rooms and we're very friendly. Wish their attitudes would carry over to front desk help. Would make for a better hotel experience for EVERY customer!!!

We went to the hotel to get away from home stress but were encounters with a bunch of issues. The stove top didn't work. The fire alarm went off when the room heat was turned on.

Crestwood has so many potentials to be a nice hotel that can earn the word suite along with it. This Hotel needs a lot of updating and renovation.

This time our air conditioner didn't seem to work as well as other times […] but it wasn't uncomfortably hot. The hallways are always very stuffy and hot like there is no air at all.

Additionally, the water in the shower water leaked constantly and ended up […] being fairly noisy throughout the night. LisateaveKontrollitud Expedia kliendiarvustus

"Never will I book last minute again!"
First the good: The receptionist was pleasant and polite. The hotel was a bit secluded. The price was very cheap and they had a room available. The bad: Someone either urinated or spilled something in the elevator which stayed all night. The entire place smelled of a backed up toilet. The ugly: The couch in my suite had four very obvious holes in […] it and looked dirty. The sheet on the bed had a cigarette burn right through it in my no smoking room. The carpet floor looked so dirty I just wore flip flops the entire time. LisateaveKontrollitud Expedia kliendiarvustus

It was a very average hotel, not great but not bad either. Could use some refurbishment.Kontrollitud Expedia kliendiarvustus
"We were more than satisfied"
We really enjoyed staying at the Crestwood Suites. The staff was more than accommodating. The microwave stopped working & they replaced it very quickly. The freezer apparently wasn't working either so they replaced that within a matter of minutes. The location was very convenient to grocery stores, restaurants, etc. We'll stay at this location going […] forward when we're visiting family. LisateaveKontrollitud Hotels.com kliendiarvustus

The room was layed out perfectly! There was a comfortable couch in the room as well. We brought leftovers from the restaurant and forgot silverware, but there was silverware in the kitchen! It was a nice hotel, we liked it.Kontrollitud Expedia kliendiarvustus
"Decent place"
This place is decent and the price was right. Got stuck with a smoking room, so would have probably been happier in a less smelly room. Only hotel I ever stayed at that didn't have toothbrushes either for free or to purchase and the front desk lady was less then friendly when I inquired about a toothbrush.Kontrollitud Expedia kliendiarvustus
The room wasn't bad. it was less than comfortable accompanied by a small stench that we grew used to. The Hotel itself felt like something out of a bad movie, fully equipped with loud noises and voices in the night-time hours and folks who looked liked vagrants hanging out in the tiny lobby. This place is an extended stay facility that harbors out of […] town constructions workers and such. So some of this is understandable, but not all of it.........

"Bad Experience"
The hotel needs to be upgraded!!!! It looks and smells like the 90's. Matress cover had stains on it, sheets wouldn't stay on the bed.

"So Disappointing"
Arrived and was told I was in an upgraded room. Not sure what that was because all were to have kitchens. Had 2 each plates, knives, forks, etc. No paper towels, no Kleenex, only enough dish soap for a day. Supposedly would sleep four but couldn't cook for two, much less four. One 8" skillet, one pot. NO oven. I was working a trade show and bought a […] pizza cuz I was tired. No where to cook it. Washed dishes first night, no more towels, Got back to room late after working all day. Bed unmade, no new towels. Called the desk and they said they only do the rooms ONCE A WEEK. I could go get more towels and coffee, soap supplies wherever. Too tired. Old TV, no salt, no pepper. Normally I would leave a room better, was working on artwork and nothing to clean up with. I will NEVER stay at one again. Not worth calling it a suite . Had to buy coffee supplies. One packet of regular coffee. Sheesh! LisateaveKontrollitud Hotels.com kliendiarvustus

"Don't judge a hotel by its cover"
We stayed at this hotel for one night as we were driving through. The outside looked great. Once we got inside, however, it went down hill. Had we not prepaid through Hotels.com, we would have left. The desk clerk seemed cordial enough, but the lobby was shabby, and the pervasive smoke smell only got worse. As we went to our room, the smoke was overpowering. […] As we got into the room, the beds were clearly from several decades ago, with obvious dips, depressions, and other uncomfortable thoughts. The couch was something that looked like some rejected it along side the road with a "Free" sign on it. The carpet was dusty, and filthy. The bathroom was not clean, the kitchen area was, to quote my teenage daughter, "super sketchy." We tried to call in the morning to get more towels. No one picked up the phone. When we checked out at 7AM, the steel roller curtain was still down and there were several guests trying to check out with no staff there to help them. If you are reading this review and haven't already paid, DON'T STAY HERE. If you have already paid, you might want to check your budget and see if you can afford somewhere else.

"Terrible Hotel"
I usually don't post reviews, but I have to in this case. Booked my hotel sight unseen. Based on other posts, it didn't look that bad. When I arrived, it looked good on the exterior. Very large hotel. The staff member who checked me in was not especially polite. As I was walking down the hall to my 3rd floor room, I noticed the carpet in the hallways […] were dreadfully dirty and stained. The floors creaked under neath my feet. When I arrived to my room, it was not clean. The table tops were stained and the room smelled like smoke. That night as I went to sleep around 11 pm, there was a lot of noise in the hotel and on my floor. People slamming doors all night; running up and down the halls all night; babies crying all night; loud talking and music all night. The walls are paper thin and you can hear everything. When I went to check out at 7 am, there was no one at the front desk; they were closed. I will never stay here again. LisateaveKontrollitud Expedia kliendiarvustus
One vending machine and it took our money. No ice machines. Tv was old and picture was poor quality. Wifi was poor at our end of hall. Our room was last on hall and exterior door was broken so staff rigged it to open if pulled hard. That bothered us as it was the back of hotel and a safety issue. Disappointed over all.Kontrollitud Expedia kliendiarvustus
"expectations too high"
The first room we were given was a full bed but we had paid for a Queen bed. Ended up having to give us a King bed which was great except the room was extremely MUSTY smelling. The smell was so strong that we had to go to the store and purchase a can of Lysol and spray the room and bed clothes. The first day of our stay, we came back to the room and […] was not aware that there was no room service at all for this room unless requested. The lady at the counter said this was standard procedures and offered to exchange towels/sheets if I would bring up the dirty ones. I suggested that this would be valuable information to know upon check in for those guests who were not familiar with this standard procedure. Lady at counter apologized but did not say that she would inform employees to let future guests know. In addition to these issues - there is no visible sign from the highway for the hotel. We drove past the hotel 2 times before we looked back off the road and saw the sign. The outside has been renovated, but the inside is still stuck in the 1980s. The full size fridge, microwave, dishes and electric range were great. The one mirror in the room was in the bathroom but it would have been nice to have one placed in the living area. There was a hair dryer in the bathroom, however the cord had to be stretched greatly to plug it into the outlet. The price is attractive, however the issues I mentioned will lead me to look elsewhere when in the area. LisateaveKontrollitud Hotels.com kliendiarvustus

A urine pH test measures the acidity of urine.
See also: Acid loading test
pH - urine
A urine sample is needed. For information on collecting a urine sample, see: Clean-catch urine sample
Your health care provider may tell you to stop taking certain drugs that can affect the results of the test.
Eat a normal, balanced diet for several days before the test.
The test involves only normal urination, and there is no discomfort.
Your doctor may order this test to check for changes in your body's acid levels.
It may be done to see if you are at risk for kidney stones . Acidic urine is associated with xanthine, cystine, uric acid , and calcium oxalate stones. Alkaline urine is associated with calcium carbonate, calcium phosphate, and magnesium phosphate stones.
Your doctor may also order this test if you need to take certain medications. Some medications are more effective in acidic or alkaline environments. For example, streptomycin, neomycin, and kanamycin are more effective in treating urinary tract infections when the urine is alkaline.
The normal values range from 4.6 to 8.0.
The examples above are common measurements for results of these tests. Normal value ranges may vary slightly among different laboratories. Some labs use different measurements or test different samples. Talk to your doctor about the meaning of your specific test results.
A high urine pH may be due to:
A low urine pH may be due to:
The test also may be done under the following conditions:
Urine pH can be affected by various factors after collection such as leaving the urine standing in an uncovered container. Bacteria usually increase the pH as they break down urea in the urine to ammonia.

SOURCE Al Yah Satellite Communications (Yahsat)
NAIROBI, Kenya, October 10, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --
YahClick offers business users free modem, free YahClick dish and reduced installation charges
YahClick Service Partner SimbaNet, and Yahsat, the Abu Dhabi, UAE based satellite operator, are working together to reduce the entry costs of acquiring YahClick high-speed, reliable and cost-effective satellite broadband internet services.
Following on from the positive uptake of the service in Kenya to date, SimbaNet in partnership with Yahsat is offering businesses free equipment and reduced installation charges for selected YahClick Business service plans up until December 19, 2013. These businesses will only be charged the monthly subscription fee, resulting in a saving of up to $ 1,150.
By increasing connectivity across the country and enabling organisations to improve their communication via high speed and reliable satellite broadband internet, YahClick helps businesses flourish locally and internationally.
"YahClick has been received well in Kenya and we are now in a position to offer organisations special perks and offers, aimed at helping businesses thrive. Businesses have a lot to worry about, and good quality, affordable broadband internet shouldn't be one of these worries. YahClick is designed to help drive regional economic development and empower individuals and communities to achieve their dreams, regardless of their location," stated Shawkat Ahmed, Chief Commercial Officer, Yahsat.
Launched in late 2012, and now operational across 12 markets, YahClick provides satellite broadband internet connectivity to businesses, home users, government entities, and non-governmental organisations, helping bridge the technological gap for unserved and underserved communities.
In Kenya, YahClick business subscription prices start from as low as [$157+VAT] - for speeds ranging from 1 Megabit per second up to 15 Megabits per second, with free equipment and installation on most business subscription plans.
Anil Hassan, YahClick Project Manager for [SimbaNet]: "In 2012 the use of internet in Kenya rose by 95% showing tremendous growth in the country's telecommunications sector. YahClick is adding to the development of the industry by contributing to the growth and enabling businesses to possess their own connectivity tools. With ownership of such tools, businesses in Kenya can continue thriving and extending their reach locally and internationally."
Ahmed added: "Today's global economy is powered by connectivity and it is important for businesses and government entities to minimize any risks associated with internet down time. Satellite solutions such as YahClick are independent of in-market terrestrial connectivity availability or reliability, and are therefore rapidly accessible in the most remote locations and with minimal downtime. The YahClick offering is the perfect solution for businesses looking for highly reliable internet services no matter where they are or the condition of their in-country terrestrial internet services."
YahClick is beamed through Yahsat's Y1B satellite, which was successfully launched in April 2012.

Zack O'Malley Greenburg, Forbes Staff
The Beat Report: covering the business of music & entertainment.
Beyoncé earned an average of $70 million each year from 2009-2011, dipping to $40 million last year as she and husband Jay-Z welcomed daughter Blue Ivy into the world. When she hits the road again, presumably later in 2013, she'll likely return to grossing more than $2 million per night.
And yet, when she takes the stage at the Super Bowl halftime show in New Orleans this Sunday, she won't be getting a penny for her efforts.
"We do not pay," said NFL spokesperson Greg McCarthy in an email. "We cover all expenses associated with the performance."
Those costs—which include travel, lodging, setup, fees for backup dancers and musicians—should add up to $600,000 or more, which is certainly significant. But so is playing without receiving a performance fee. So why did Beyoncé agree to play the Super Bowl for free?
Her spokesperson did not respond to a request for comment for this story, but others point to two main reasons. First, there's the precedent set by Madonna, the Black-Eyed Peas and others who've done gratis halftime shows. Second, and also responsible for her predecessors' decisions, there's the fact that the halftime show is the most-watched musical event of the year.
"There is not anything like it," says Derek Jackson, cofounder of advertising agency Glu. "The Super Bowl, for an artist, is considered the medium of all mediums. You can't beat it from a promotional standpoint. You garner so many eyeballs at one time."
How many eyeballs, exactly? About 112.5 million in the U.S. alone last year. And even though Beyoncé's next album isn't out yet—just a recent Destiny's Child release—she stands to profit immensely, as others have in the past.
Though Madonna's halftime performance last year led to 165,000 digital downloads of her new song "Give Me All Your Luvin" the week after the game, it also led to a stratospheric increase for purchases of classic hits like "Vogue" (+1,033%) and "Like A Prayer" (+2,437%).
Of course, there's another reason that Beyoncé might be willing to sing for a song: Pepsi, which returns this year as the halftime show sponsorship after inking a new deal with the NFL, signed her to a $50 million deal late last year.
"This is a Pepsi event, so I'd have to make the argument that this was in her deal," says Jackson, who brokered Nicki Minaj's multimillion dollar agreement with the beverage company. "I can't imagine it being any other way … What better way to make it known to the world that Beyoncé is the face of Pepsi?"
The company's representatives say the performance wasn't part of her deal, but they're certainly happy to have her on board.
"While we are sponsors of the show, the terms of Beyoncé's appearance are solely between her and the NFL," says Pepsi spokesperson Andrea Foote. "While we were consulted as a sponsor, we did not make any stipulation that she be the performer. We obviously have our own long-standing relationship with Beyoncé and are thrilled that she will be the performer our first year returning as sponsor of the event."
Regardless, Beyoncé will earn double-digit millions from Pepsi in the coming years, and it seems unlikely that she'd have wanted to rock that boat by declining such an important gig—even if she's not getting paid for it.
For more on the business of Beyoncé and Jay-Z, check out my book Empire State of Mind: How Jay-Z Went From Street Corner to Corner Office and follow me on Twitter and Facebook.
Excellent article as usual. I think you guys did a similar article last year on why Madonna did the Super Bowl for free. Also I think Michael Jackson, before Madonna and the Black Eyed Peas, was the first major artist to make the half time show into a real major event where arguably more people were talking about the half time than the actual Super Bowl.
These articles on why celebrities dont get paid for Superbowl Halftime shows are getting very repetitive, considering you guys, maybe not you but another forbes writer, wrote the exact same article about Madonna, giving the exact same reasons as last year. It would help if you would write more intelligent articles, instead of copying and pasting the same articles from last year
she technically is getting paid as she signed a $50 million deal with pepsi and the event is a pepsi event. The NFL just isn't going to pay her.
About 112.5 million eyeballs watching the Super Bowl in the U.S., you say? I suppose that would be true if everyone in the U.S. had only one eye. They will actually garner about 225 million eyeballs, or 112.5 million views.
Gee, I've been to a chicken rodeo, a hog killin', and three county fairs, and I never did know the NFL was a poor-boy charity.
very nice article..makes complete sense to do it free of cost..even i would have done it free if i see the other advantages associated with it..very nice and principled marketing..overall i loved the beyonce performance..we all love her and her music..i should say once more to BEYONCE…ONCE MORE

Features such as variability-aware MCMM optimization, litho-driven routing, and concurrent co-optimization of all closure criteria (including DRC/DFM, timing, power, signal integrity, performance, and area) ensure your layout is highly manufacturable.
Olympus-SoC's advanced software architecture is inherently scalable, and includes both an extremely efficient graph representation for timing information and a very concise memory footprint.
DFM capabilities are built in to the Olympus-SoC 45 nm-ready router, so tasks you once had to perform as post-processing steps, like double via insertion, cell swapping, wire widening, and wire spacing, are now completed automatically during route optimization to provide you with a "correct-by-construction" implementation.
What Olympus-SoC provides you:
- Better IC performance
Incorporate variability models from your fab with other libraries and constraints for concurrent optimization across any number of MCMM scenarios. - Improved yield
Address manufacturability in a timing context during implementation using correct-by-construction, litho-driven routing. - Faster closure
Radically reduce your design iterations with concurrent co-optimization of all closure criteria across all corner/mode scenarios. Shorten your design time with incremental extraction and multi-threaded, multi-CPU engines. - Flexible design flow, easy tool adoption
Simplify your design flow with a physical design solution that accepts all standard industry formats, has a full Tcl scripting interface, and a flexible API. Olympus-SoC easily plugs into your existing methodologies. DRC/DFM capabilities are built into the flow, becoming virtually transparent to the user.

GREENSBORO - Three convicted felons from Laurinburg were sentenced after pleading guilty to federal charges, authorities said Tuesday.
Titus Tyrone Reddick, 32, was sentenced Dec. 13 to eight years and nine months in prison after pleading guilty Sept. 5 to possessing a .380-caliber semiautomatic pistol, Ripley Rand, U.S. Attorney for the Middle District of North Carolina, said in a release.
Michael Wayne Hill, 54, was sentenced Dec. 13 to five years and three months in prison. He pleaded guilty Sept. 5 to possessing crack cocaine with the intent to distribute and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon. After undercover drug buys, lawmen searched Hill's apartment in June 2011 and seized seven grams of cocaine and a loaded .32-caliber S&W revolver, Rand said.
Dequan Fitzgerald Henderson, 25, was sentenced Dec. 14 to four years and nine months in prison after pleading guilty Sept. 5 to possessing 12 rounds of ammunition, Rand said.
U.S. District Court Judge Thomas D. Schroeder also sentenced Reddick, Henderson and Hill to three years of supervised release.
The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, the Laurinburg Police Department and the Scotland County Sheriff's Office investigated the cases, Rand said.

The Reading/Writing Learning Clinic at the Joan and Arnold Saltzman Community Services Center is dedicated to providing literacy support to children, adolescents, and adults in an environment where learners have the safety and support that allow them to take risks and gain confidence as they move toward developing mature control of literacy skills. The Reading/Writing Learning Clinic provides services to families in the communities that adjoin Hofstra University as well as in the larger metropolitan area.
At the Reading/Writing Learning Clinic, New York state-certified literacy specialists provide weekly small group or individual instruction. Instructional sessions focus on reading and writing as meaning construction and are carefully crafted to develop a flexible set of reading and writing strategies to use while reading or composing texts. Phonics and spelling skills are addressed and taught in the context of meaningful language study. Our program is modeled on a Reading/Writing workshop approach that creates an environment for engagement in author study, literature circles, and strategic reading and writing instruction. Students also participate in inquiry-based projects making use of fiction and/or nonfiction texts available from our library collection of award-winning children and adolescent literature, as well as through digital technology.
The Reading/Writing Learning Clinic offers professional reading and writing evaluations for school-aged children and adults. Our evaluations are qualitative assessments that describe the learner's use of reading and writing strategies when transacting with and composing texts. The assessment process culminates with the development of a Biographic Literacy Profile which provides a detailed appraisal of the learner's reading and writing strengths. Each literacy evaluation is conducted to advocate for the learner. Reading and writing proficiency is described in terms of meaning construction and our evaluations provide parents and teachers with straight-forward and individualized recommendations to support literacy development inside and outside of school settings.
The Reading/Writing Learning Clinic is affiliated with the Literacy Studies Department from the School of Education and Allied Human Services. As an intrinsic component of the Literacy Studies Department, the Clinic embraces an understanding of literacy as a human right and education for social justice. The Clinic is a site for developing exemplary teaching practices, for training interns in the Literacy Studies Department graduate programs, and for conducting state-of-the-art literacy research. The Clinic is dedicated to supporting teachers through sharing knowledge about teaching practices. The Clinic is a nationally recognized site of exploring both the nature of literacy and exemplary ways to support literacy development.

Despite lower inventory and increased home prices, existing-home sales slid in October for the second consecutive month according to a recent report by the National Association of REALTORS (NAR). Existing-home sales, which include recently purchased single family, townhomes, condominiums, and co-ops declined 3.2 percent and are currently on pace to reach 5.12 million units for the year, up 6 percent over last year's4.83 million unit-level in October 2012.
NAR chief economist Lawrence Yun sees a flat sales trend. "The erosion in buying power is dampening home sales," he said. "Moreover, low inventory is holding back sales while at the same time pushing up home prices in most of the country. More new home construction is needed to help relieve the inventory pressure and moderate price gains."
Mortgage giant Freddie Mac reported the national commitment rate for a 30-year fixed rate conventional mortgage was down slightly to 4.19 percent in October, compared to 4.46 percent in September. The reported rate was 3.38 percent in October 2012.

Rex (Steve Buscemi), Pip (Adam Sandler), and Chazz (Brendan Fraser) are the Lone Rangers (one of the film's running gags is, of course, that three guys can't be lone), a Los Angeles heavy metal band scrambling to hang onto their miserable lives on the Siberian fringes of the rock 'n' ...
A struggling rock band breaks into a radio station and holds everyone hostage with water pistols in order to get some 'airplay'. Then things get really strange.

Six NYIT students traveled to Syracuse, N.Y., from Oct. 11 to 13 to attend the Association for the Promotion of Campus Activities (APCA) Northeast Regional Conference. They were accompanied by Mehtap Donuk, director of student activities and leadership development at NYIT-Old Westbury, and APCA Northeast regional coordinator. APCA has been around since 1994 helping college students across America with their programming needs.
Students included Greek Life Council e-board members Jatinder Saini, Prattasha Paul, Bernadette Connell, Brian Church, and Pooja Berdia as well as Navpreet Sachdev, president of the NYIT-Old Westbury Campus Programing Board and student delegate for the APCA Northeast region. They were nominated and elected to be national interns for the conference and assisted with registration, announcing national speakers, running icebreakers, and leading roundtable discussions. Brian Church, who works as a student employee in NYIT's Academic Computing Lab, was also asked to work with the conference's professional stage management staff members, who were so impressed with his contributions that they offered him a job on the spot to travel the country with them in summer 2014.

Fairchild Receives $ 965,000 Contract Fairchild Hiller Corporation's Republic Aviation Division announced receipt of a $ 965,000 contract from the United States Marine Corps for the Bikini Surveillance System. Terms of the contract require that 25 drones, five ground stations and spares be assigned to a Marine Corps battalion for troop tests under operational conditions. A training program is also included. The entire Bikini system ( including two drones, launcher, radio control equipment, and photographic film processor), fits into a jeep- drawn M- 100 trailer. Two men can have the system operational in less than ten minutes and have developed film less than 15 minutes after drone recovery. The drone is a conventional high- wing, propeller- driven aircraft, launched from a pneumatic catapult to flying speed in a distance of six feet. Range is over ten miles. For recovery, a parachute is deployed from altitudes as low as 35 feet. The drone is 76 inches long, has a wing span of 96 inches and maximum takeoff weight if 60 pounds. Fairchild Hiller's Space Systems Division is supplying Mini-labs for test with the system. Minilabs are lighweight, field transportable film developers, processors, viewers and printers that yield both negative and positive prints from a dry process. Republic will supply the drones and the balance of the support equipment. Republic originated the Bikini concept and, since 1962, has flown the system on more than 300 test missions. Looney New County Police Commissioner Francis B. Looney of Farming-dale was appointed Nassau County Police Commissioner on Sunday by Nassau County Executive Eugene H. Nickerson following the announcement of the disability retirement of Commissioner James J. Kelly. Looney served as Deputy Commissioner. Looney has been a member of the Nassau County Police Department since 1939. A graduate of St. John's Law School, admitted to the bar in 1940, he was appointed deputy commissioner May 14, 1965. During World War n, he served with the Army Counter Intelligence Corps from 1942 to 1946 in Casablanca, North Africa, Rome, and Linz, Austria, as special agent in charge of offices in those areas. He was discharged as a First Lieutenant. On his return to the county Police Department, he was promoted to sergeant in 1947, lieutenant in 1950, captain in 1954, and that same year to deputy inspector. In January of 1956 he was promoted to inspector and in November of the same year was made an assistant chief inspector and chief of district, commanding the department's precincts. He was named chief inspector April 7, 1961. From 1946 to 1947, he was assigned to the Detective Division; from 1947 to 1949 he was a uniformed patrol sergeant, and from 1949 to 1956 he was personal aide and legal advisor to the chief of staff. Looney, 49, lives at 4 Quaker Meeting House Road, Farming-dale, with his wife and their four children; Jean 18, Thomas 12, Daniel 9, and Jane Ann 1. " The departure of Commissioner Kelly from county service is accepted with reluctance and deep regret," said Nickerson. " In his four years as Police Commissioner he has done an outstanding job of reorganizing and strengthening our police force. On behalf of all of our citizens, I wish to thank him for his contribution to county government as a conscientious administrator and a highly skilled law enforcement officer. His successor, Francis B. Looney, has been a member of the Police Department since 1939. He is a graduate of St. John's Law School and has an intimate knowledge of every phase of police work. I can think of no one better qualified to succeed James Kelly as head of this important department." James J.

Succulent Arrangement in Small Stone Bowl ❤ liked on Polyvore (see more fake flower bouquets)
The age of green is upon us. We have reached a point in our human evolution where science, math, and creative genius have discovered a way to suspend a living forest in mid air. The answer to city pollution is now Stefano Boeri's Bosco Verticale, the world's first 27-story microclimate apartment towers currently under construction in Milan, Italy. Built to function as city air purifiers, these lush apartments will include over 900 trees, 5,000 bushes, and 11,000 plants throughout the tower balconies. Each perch of life will aid in reducing city noise, moderating atmospheric temperatures, absorbing CO2 emissions, and acting as an energy sustainer for seasonal weather shifts.
