Excellent apartment close to Auckland viaduct areaPosted Feb 19, 2016
Pros: Location, amenities and full balcony
We were absolutely delighted with this 2 bedroom apartment. Very comfortable, fully equiped with safety deposit box in room, a/c and full laundry facilities. Wonderful wrap around balcony gave us excellent views of the harbour area. Onsite secure parking, at a cost of NZ$30 per day seemed a bit expensive, but as it is in central city appeared to be competitive. Reception staff were friendly and helpful. Some renovation work is ongoing, but this did not disrupt our stay in any way. Had a problem one morning with hot water supply, but this was the only minor issue during our 5 day stay. Overall, our stay was excellent and we would definitely recommend to family and friends.

"Croissant de Triomphe" is the first in a series of 19 all-new shorts that will be airing on Disney Channel and Disney.com beginning on June 28.
As part of Mickey's relaunch, Disney has teamed up with Emmy Award-winning artist and director, Paul Rudish (of Dexter's Laboratory and The Powerpuff Girls fame) to give the iconic character and his pals an updated-yet-retro 1930s look. The new shorts will also feature animation and artwork that is a throwback to the classic designs of the original Walt Disney shorts of the 1950s and 1960s.
According to Disney, each of the new shorts will take place in a different setting, such as Santa Monica, New York, Beijing, Tokyo, Venice, and the Alps, and will also feature occasional homages "to other icons from the storied Disney heritage."
2. Watch "Croissant de Triomphe":
- At least 10 people, including the gunman, are dead after a shooting at a mall in Munich, Germany.
- Hillary Clinton has picked Virginia Sen. Tim Kaine as her running mate. He was considered a favorite for the ticket.
- Employees at a textile factory that made Trump shirts report dangerous, abusive conditions — harsh even for Honduras.

In 2013, for "Justified: AIGA Design Competition," a distinguished jury chaired by Clement Mok selected 14 case studies that each serve as an effective tool to explain the role of designers in conceiving and implementing solutions.
The following are individual jurors' comments on the selection "Case Study: Waves of Color" To view all 14 selected works, visit: aiga.org/justified-2013-selections/
Valerie Casey, founder and chief executive officer, Necessary Projects, San Francisco, CaliforniaThe Waves of Color stamp set feels robustly and confidently American. The varying sizes, face designs and color palette all fall within a well-fitted system that is conceptual but simple, complex but essential and rich but unadorned. Beautifully done.
Jessica Hische, letterer and procrastiworker, Title Case, San Francisco, CaliforniaNot only are these postage stamps beautiful, they also feel incredibly expensive and high end—something that's hard to accomplish in a tiny paper format. They make me want to pay too much for postage in order to find a way to use them.
Brad Johnson, VP, executive creative director, Second Story (now part of SapientNitro), Portland, OregonThese stamps have the clean, sophisticated, abstract elegance of Dutch currency design and made me a proud American—aesthetically.
Clement Mok, design and business consultant, The Design Office of Clement Mok, San Francisco, CaliforniaGame changer. Moved the needle. Inspirational. What's the big deal? The first United States Postal Service stamp that doesn't use type, illustration or photography. Waves of Color is simple, elegant and modern.
Josh Rubin, founder and editor in chief, Cool Hunting, New York, New YorkIt's about time the USA had simple, beautiful and sophisticated postage stamps.
Christopher Simmons, principal and creative director, MINE™, San Francisco, CaliforniaNational attitudes toward art and design are reflected in a country's currency and postage stamps, which are also a form of currency. U.S. currency currently embodies our worst national dysfunctions, to the point that I am almost embarrassed to carry cash. Our stamps aren't far behind. This high-denomination series is a stunning exception. Necessarily complex in form but elegantly simple in execution, these designs are abstract yet absorbingly contemplative, suggesting that we may yet be a graceful, modern nation.
Alina Wheeler, author, Designing Brand Identity, Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaIn a competition filled with complex solutions, intricate processes and multidisciplinary teams, the simplicity and beauty of these stamps was a tribute to intelligent design. Although the United States Postal Service has been issuing stamps for hundreds of years, this is the first abstract design that has been published—what a triumph. Making different denominations different sizes is also an innovation to be applauded.

Prince Harry is once again off the market.
The 29-year-old Prince, who split from his long-term girlfriend Cressida Bonas in April, is now dating Camilla Thurlow.
"Camilla's the full package - she's got beauty and brains," an insider told E! News.
The pair was spotted on a luxury yacht with friends in Saint-Tropez last week to celebrate the Prince's 30th birthday in a few weeks.
"Harry's had no interest whatsoever in going out and just wants to focus on Camilla without any distractions," the source said.
Two months after his split with Bonas, Prince Harry was seen kissing Thurlow, 25, at a nightclub.
"The pair apparently had 'a few drinks' and kissed in front of friends at the Mexican bar, club and restaurant, which is owned by Harry's best friend Guy Pelly and frequented by the royals," reports the Daily Mail.
US Weekly's source said the holiday is a sign that the Prince is really smitten with the former Miss Edinburgh.
Thurlow, who is from Dumfries, now works as a projects officer for The Halo Trust, a UK non-profit charity which conducts humanitarian landmine clearance.
The charity was made famous in 1997 when the prince's mother Princess Diana visited a minefield in Angola.
Prince Harry was also a contributor of the charity but left in March this year, reports the Daily Mail.
As for the Prince's actual birthday, The Duchess of Cambridge has reportedly been working with a top nightclub promoter to organise his 30th birthday party, according to Woman's Day.
The Daily Mirror reports that both of Prince Harry's ex-girlfriends are on the guest list.
"Harry has no problem with seeing his exes all under the same roof. Let's just hope they don't either," said an insider.
Prince Harry dated Chelsea Davy on and off for six years. They broke up after the royal wedding in 2011.
It was reported that the pair split because Davy did not want to become a princess.
The Prince also dated Cressida Bonas, a dance school graduate, for two years. It was thought that Bonas broke up with the red-haired royal because she wanted a career of her own.
"Acting, dancing and singing is something I have done my whole life. Being part of a creative team is the best thing in the world and I feel very happy within a creative environment," she told The Sunday Times recently.
But as for Thurlow, it seems the royal is looking for someone to settle down with.
According to E! News Harry "sees Camilla as much more than a fling".
"This was supposed to be Harry's last summer of fun before he turned 30 and got serious and settled down," a source said.
But before the party could start he met Camilla.
"It's a great sign it shows how mature he is now and that he realises when he finds happiness to not let go of it and to nurture it."
"Harry loves how she's devoted her life to charity - she's fully committed to helping other people and he sees a lot of his mother Diana's goodness in her."

ucanews.com reporter, Colombo
Sri Lanka
October 5, 2012
More than 700 people protested outside the Bangladeshi High Commission in Colombo yesterday against attacks targeting Buddhist communities. Thousands of Bangladeshi Muslims, enraged over a Facebook photo of a burned Qur'an, allegedly torched at least 19 Buddhist temples and dozens of homes over the weekend in Cox's Bazar and Chittagong districts. The protesters, including about 400 Buddhist monks, condemned the attacks and submitted a petition for the Bangladeshi government to rebuild all the temples and homes that were destroyed, provide compensation and protect human rights. "We have witnessed over the years with growing concern the destruction of ancient Buddhist images, and Bangladesh is the latest example," said Venerable Kirama Wimalajothy Nayaka Thero, a prominent Buddhist monk." Some of the temples are 300 to 500 years old." With monks from Malaysia, Brunei, Myanmar and Bangladesh among them, the protesters held a religious service and marched from Viharamahadevi Park to the High Commission, holding banners and Buddhist flags. "We are not against Muslims but against extremism," said Venerable Pragnaratana Thero, a Bangladeshi monk who studies at Buddhist and Pali University in Sri Lanka. "We want peace and harmony." One group allegedly pelted stones and water bottles at the Commission, causing minor damage. Organizers said the vandals were unaffiliated with the protest. Police are investigating.

Super Rugby
Chris Eaton's not the type to step down from a challenge.
And it's a good thing because the Hurricanes halfback has got a fairly big one tomorrow in Christchurch.
Eaton's been handed the unenviable task of stepping into the shoes of TJ Perenara, a player in the process of a breakout season until he broke his ankle in Brisbane two weeks ago.
And it doesn't help that the Hurricanes' next opponent happens to be the Crusaders, in what amounts to a virtual playoff match.
Throw in fired-up All Black discard Andy Ellis as his opposite number and Eaton could be forgiven for lacking a bit of enthusiasm.
Not likely.
"It's a massive opportunity and I'm really looking forward to it," the Hawke's Bay halfback said yesterday. "It's pretty much our final. We aren't looking past this game. We want to win this game and we need to."
Off the field, Eaton's one of the more understated members of the Hurricanes squad. The 28-year-old father of one is a team man rather than a star turn, not the type to talk himself up.
But on the pitch he's no wallflower, and when he's not working on his game, he can often be found doing Brazilian Jujitsu at Lyall Bay.
And his fiery side came out during a rare start against the Crusaders in week nine where the Hurricanes crashed to a 42-14 loss.
That night he lost his composure, perhaps over-eager after sitting on the bench since Perenara stole a march in week three with a hat-trick of tries against the Force.
This time around, Eaton's more focused, a bit bigger and a lot more confident after scoring tries in his last three appearances, including a crucial bonus point effort against the Waratahs in Sydney.
"I'll try and distribute as much as I can. I back my distributing skills, but also to clear the ruck as fast as I can," he said. "If we get quick ball and get the Crusaders on the hop, on the back foot, we can make some inroads into their defence. If you let them settle it's a lot harder. When we've got outsides like we have you want to give them as much ball as possible."
In other words, do the basics well.
Eaton's a capable footballer, but has been prone to the odd errant kick or ill-advised dart into contact during a provincial career that stretches back to 2005. Those foibles have largely disappeared during a string of bright cameos this season and his goal now is to extend that sharpness to the starting role.
"It is a shift in mindset. When you are coming off the bench you already have a feel of what the game is doing and where it's going," he said. "When you start you have to adjust on the run and get a feel while you are out there. The lungs will probably be hurting, but it's nothing I haven't had before."
Eaton's looking somewhat buffed at the back end of the season and though he jokes it's his metabolism slowing down, he could add a physical presence at about 95kg and alongside big No8 Brad Shields. The combination is raw, having been restricted almost exclusively to the training pitch so far this year, but Eaton said it had an easy feel.
"We're always talking and stuff, so it shouldn't be too much drama. He's a pretty skilled No8 and big so he should provide a bit of protection at the scrum there."

Magnetic Stimulation Improves Parkinson's Symptoms
Tuesday June 17, 2014
Daniel M. Keller, PhD
Medscape - In what researchers describe as the first randomized trial of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) using an H-coil in Parkinson's disease (PD) added on to drug therapy, active stimulation was superior to sham stimulation.
Results suggest improvements in timed tests of motor function, activities of daily living, and quality of life by using active stimulation. Earlier studies with other transcranial magnetic stimulation coils in PD have yielded mixed results, the authors note.
More traditional circular or figure-8 coils produce small and superficial areas of stimulation reaching a depth of 2 to 3 cm. In contrast, the H-coil design results in 3-dimensional summation of magnetic fields, giving a wider area of stimulation and penetrating 5 to 7 cm deep.
Mario Fichera, MD, from the Institute of Experimental Neurology and the neurology department of the Scientific Institute Hospital San Raffaele in Milan, Italy, presented study results here at the 24th Meeting of the European Neurological Society (ENS).
Cortical Dysfunction
Dr. Fichera explained that in PD, besides dysfunction in deep brain structures (including the subthalamic nucleus and substantia nigra), there is also cortical dysfunction, specifically in the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex, the supplementary motor area, and the M1 motor cortex area.
He said rTMS can have long-lasting effects, with frequencies greater than 5 Hz being excitatory and those less than 1 Hz being inhibitory.
The study was double-blind, randomized, and placebo (sham stimulation) controlled. The 2 targets of stimulation were M1 contralateral to the more affected side and the prefrontal (PF) cortex bilaterally.
Participants were younger than age 80 years and had moderate PD so that they were still able to walk (Hoehn and Yahr stage 2 to 4). They had been receiving stable antiparkinsonian and antidepressive therapy for at least 2 months before study entry and had no other major comorbidity.
Treatment consisted of rTMS given 3 times per week for 4 weeks. Stimulation of M1 was at 90% of the resting motor threshold at 10 Hz for 840 pulses. PF stimulation occurred at 100% of the resting motor threshold at 10 Hz for 840 pulses.
The 60 patients were randomly assigned equally into 3 groups. Group 1 received M1 real and PF real stimulation (M1/PF). Group 2 received M1 real and PF sham (M1/sham). Group 3 received placebo treatments (sham/sham). The groups did not significantly differ in age (mean age, 60.4 to 64.2 years), sex distribution (more men than women), disease duration (6 to 8 years), levodopa equivalent daily doses (0.6 to 0.7 g), Hoehn and Yahr stage (stage 2), or disease characteristics.
The primary outcome measures were safety and clinical improvement off drug after the last treatment session vs baseline (T0), expressed as percentage reduction on the Movement Disorder Society–Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (MDS-UPDRS OFF) part III. Besides the 3 groups, analysis included a merged group consisting of the M1/PF and M1/sham groups combined.
"We showed that the efficacy of the stimulation was better than the sham stimulation," Dr. Fichera told the audience. Both the M1/PF and the M1/sham groups improved significantly compared with the sham group, and there was no significant difference between these 2 active stimulation groups.
Table. Efficacy of rTMS in Reduction of PD Motor Symptoms
|Study Group
|End vs T0 (% Reduction on MDS-UPDRS OFF)
|P Value vs Sham
|Merged (M1/PF + M1/sham)
|27 ± 16
|29 ± 15
|26 ± 17
|15 ± 17
Dr. Fichera said the merged stimulation group also showed significant improvement on UPDRS part III OFF lateralized subscores for the worse (P = .042) and better (P = .012) sides as well as for tremor over the sham group (P = .011).
There were also improvements on the worse side on the timed tests for hand tapping (P = .041), foot tapping (P = .012), and the 9-hole peg test (P = .003).
Safety was excellent. No serious adverse events or study dropouts occurred, and no adverse effects developed in the placebo group. One patient each experienced activation of ipsilateral peripheral nerve VII during stimulation, requiring a reduction in stimulation intensity of 2% to 3%. Headache in 1 patient at the end of an rTMS session resolved with acetaminophen.
A thoracic symptom occurred once during stimulation and 1 patient had dizziness lasting less than 30 minutes at the end of a session. Two patients in the M1/PF group and 1 in the M1/sham group experienced dyskinesias after the final rTMS session.
Dr. Fichera said other beneficial effects were significant improvements in quality of life, as assessed at the final visit in the merged (P = .014), M1/PF (P = .023), and M1/sham (P = .046) groups vs the sham control. In addition, 1 patient in the M1/PF group had an improvement in blood pressure control, and another in the same group reported an improvement in erectile function.
He advised that a phase 3 trial should be conducted to validate the efficacy seen in this trial and to gauge the duration of the effects.
Empirical Evidence
Session chair Josep Valls-Solé, MD, PhD, a neurologist and neurophysiologist at the Hospital Clinic in Barcelona, Spain, commented to Medscape Medical News, "Evidence-based medicine has not reached yet noninvasive brain stimulation in a way that we are certain. You can say the same with several drugs. But empirically, this works. Now we have to test it with evidence-based medicine."
He noted that the new H-coil is not widely available, so there are not many published or ongoing studies. He praised Dr. Fichera and his group for doing this study and showing that the coil may have efficacy in some PD outcomes, and he added, possibly in some other disorders.
"I think that we have to promote a bit this kind of treatment that is noninvasive and nonpharmacological—so, some hope that we are escaping from toxicity from drugs," Dr. Valls-Solé advised.
He said it is still early and therefore it is unknown what the differences are in the effects of the H-coil compared with other ones. One advantage may be that the H-coil does not heat up. "It perhaps brings up the possibility of sham better than other coils," he suggested.
But the overall cost of this kind of treatment for the personnel to apply it repeatedly and for the equipment itself may limit its availability.
In addition, evidence is only starting to accumulate on its efficacy and the durability of the effect. Retreatment on a regular basis will probably be needed, but Dr. Valls-Solé said that, nonetheless, patients may feel better for a "couple of weeks" after being treated.
The study did not receive any commercial support. Dr. Fichera and Dr. Valls-Solé have disclosed no relevant financial relationships.

NEW YORK - Editing for comedy is all about pace and timing.
And if you have ever watched Comedy Central's The Colbert Report and its regular segments, like Better Know A
District or Four Horseman of the Apocalypse, you truly understand how cutting
to a reaction and letting it sit for a while can grow the funny.
And to help them grow their funny, show editors Jason Baker,
Andrew Matheson and Joshua Weinstein call on Avid Media Composer Adrenalines
with Unity, while junior editor Bryan Dinello taps Apple Final Cut Pro,
prepping clips for the day's shoot from various news sources.
According to post supervisor Jeremy Tchaban, Dinello's work
has helped free up the Avid editors, who had been doing little pieces and small
montages, to do more complex work, like field pieces and daily fixes to the
While the show is taping on Digi Beta in-studio with host
Stephen Colbert — from 7pm to 8pm with feed to the network at 9pm — the editors
digitize two cameras and the program feed into the Adrenaline suites, just in
case they need to perform fixes. A typical fix is a misread line or technical
issue, says Tchaban. "Instead of redoing the whole segment or having to
jump-cut straight to tape, we can use the Avid during taping to really edit
quickly and keep the show to time."
When Tchaban says timing is everything, he means it; they
really only have one hour to edit the show. "It's important to get the control
room a runtime of each segment so they can keep the show on schedule. We
usually cut out material for time and rarely, if ever, cut for content or
script issues."
While the show is being shot live to tape, all four editors
work closely with the control room. According to Tchaban, the control room can
only edit linear, which limits their
technical capabilities They have become accustomed to the editors
performing complicated fixes, like pulling out time in a segment and tweaking
audio, but that doesn't mean they don't do their share. "Fixes are performed
both in the Avid and the control room, so our editors and the control room work
closely to get the show on tape, on time and ready to feed to the network," he
explains. "Sometimes doing the fix is quicker in our control room and other
times it's faster to do it in the Avid when the edit requires more technical
The show has a field department that shoots reoccurring
segments on location, on Beta SP. One of those is Better Know A District, where
Colbert visits a congressman. "Our editors and field producers will spend a lot
of time reworking the material and testing each comedic beat," says Tchaban.
On average, the producers will shoot about one hour of
material, and when it's completely edited the result will be a seamless, four-
to five-minute interview. "The field producer will work with the editor to
create a rough cut, which is pretty close to the final version," he reports.
"On the day the piece is scheduled to air, the field producer and editor work
with the executive producers and Stephen to make any last-minute changes." Colbert
and Jon Stewart are executive producers; the three co-execs are Rich Dahm,
Allison Silverman and Meredith Bennett.
Sound design is typically done in the Avid, by editor Jason
Baker, who started his career as a recording engineer. "Jason has been using his experience as an audio engineer by
sound designing the show's graphic opens and animations." In addition, Baker
will compose original tracks in Apple's GarageBand. They also have a Digidesign
Pro Tools station.
The Colbert Report's three-man graphics department is made
up of senior graphics designer Andro Buneta, Kris Long and Bill Marko. They are
responsible for producing the opens, animations, mock-ups and graphics. They
are desktop-based and recently upgraded to Intel-based Macs and Adobe's
Creative Suite 3. And they often call on affordable plug-ins to add polish and,
well, explosions to their work.
One of those plug-in packages is Trapcode, from Red Giant,
which they use for opening, segment animations and full-screen graphics. Buneta
says it's particularly helpful with things that explode or are on fire."
For recurring segments, like Four Horseman of the
Apocalypse, "we use the Trapcode plug-ins to add that little shine or sparkle,
or whatever the joke calls for. Sometimes it's making someone's head explode,
or in the case of Better Know a District, we're taking a Congressional District
that Stephen is particularly annoyed with at the moment and exploding it
right off the US map, which is pretty funny," he says.
Buneta notes that with the show's schedule, they need tools
that are easy to use, and he says Trapcode fits that description. "Thanks to
Trapcode we can do something really nice in a short amount of time."
All in a day's work, making a fake news show funny.

News Renowned Composer, Castleton Festival Founder, Hylton Center Regular Lorin Maazel Dies
Lorin Maazel, a world-renown composer and founder of the Castleton Festival – a regular performance at the Hylton Performing Arts Center in Manassas – has died.
Maazel, 84, passed away at this Virginia home this morning following a bout with pneumonia, according to the Castleton Festival website.
Maazel on Thursday was scheduled to perform at the Hylton Performing Arts Center alongside Denyce Graves as part of the Castleton Festival. An audience member told Potomac Local News he was unable to conduct to his respiratory issue.
Here's more in a statement from the festival:
With his wife, Dietlinde Turban Maazel, he founded the Castleton Festival in 2009 and has held annual summer performances and training seminars since then in theatres he built on his Virginia farm. Recognizing the value of mentoring he himself benefited from as a youth, Maestro Maazel established the Castleton Festival with a mission: it would be a "vista-opener," in his words, to nurture young musicians through mentoring and performing, and would draw audiences to performances showcasing young talent bringing fresh energy to classical music alongside established virtuosos such as Denyce Graves and Sir James Galway to Jeremy Irons and Lady Helen Mirren.
Addressing the audience at the June 28, 2014 opening night of the Castleton Festival, Maestro Maazel described working with the young orchestra and singers as a "more than a labor of love – a labor of joy."
You can read the full statement on the website.
The Hylton Performing Arts Center posted the following statement to their Facebook page:
All of us at The Hylton Performing Arts Center extend our deepest condolences to the Maazel family and the Castleton Festival on the passing of Maestro Lorin Maazel, a great musician and mentor and partner.Send news and photos to Potomac Local

The Trinidad and Tobago Coast Guard (TTCG) has described the speed and manoeuvrability of its Austal-built 98.4 ft patrol boats as impressive following recent sea trials in Western Australia. Ordered in 2008, half of the six-vessel fleet has already commenced a 33-day delivery voyage to Trinidad and Tobago, with the remaining three on schedule for completion at the end of the year.
Each vessel will be armed with general purpose machine guns, and a 20mm cannon. They will enable the TTCG to provide sustained surveillance in the country's internal waters, the archipelagic territorial sea and its exclusive economic zone.
Recent sea trials demonstrated the manoeuvrability of the lightweight, all-aluminium platform, which achieved a maximum speed of more than 40 knots, as well as a small tactical diameter and short crash stop distance.
Director of Trinidad's Defence Transformation and Integration Secretariat, CDRE Garnet Best, said the TTCG had been impressed with the performance of the vessels so far.
"Our first impressions of the vessel were excellent, with the boat manoeuvring well and the speed right up over 40 knots," CDRE Best said.
"We were also impressed with the noise levels inside the vessel, given many similar vessels can be quite noisy. These vessels will be the first of their size in the Trinidad and Tobago Coast Guard with water jets and as far as I have seen the technology is very good."
Austal was awarded the contract following a competitive international tender process. Austal is also providing crew training and five years of scheduled and unscheduled maintenance services in Trinidad and Tobago under the contract.
The first three vessels – TTS Scarlet Ibis, TTS Hibiscus and TTS Hummingbird – departed Austal last month and are likely to be available for the 2009 Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting (CHOGM), held in Trinidad and Tobago in November.
According to CDRE Best, the vessels would be used to create a security blanket around the waters of Trinidad and Tobago. Sea trials are currently underway on the remaining three vessels.

|Storage Speak
Amy Campbell
From the pockets of babes ...
I've been blogging about the concept of giving, as we are thrust amid the season that simultaneously inspires joy and misery, energy and exhaustion. We feel more compelled during this month to "do for others," though I suspect for many the urge is as equally fueled by a sense of obligation and desire for acceptance as it is about genuine kindness. That's the cynic in me speaking. But I read something this morning that lit a spark of sentimentality.
Old Barn Self Storage in Grass Valley, Calif., recently hosted a holiday art contest for local children. All 320 participants were awarded certificates, and those who placed received prize money in addition to the chance to have their work displayed on the facility signage. This is precisely the kind of warm-fuzzy special event I referred to in my last post—something that bonds your facility with the community, generating good will and good press.
Anyway, what got me was the contest winner, 8-year-old Jack Devlin of Nevada City Elementary, donated a portion of his $175 winnings to a wildlife rehabilitation center dedicated to birds of prey. I was touched by this, and not just because I'm a big afcionada of owls, falcons, hawks, etc. I think the facility owner, Jim Warne, said it best: "I know lots of adults who wouldn't give you 10 cents. These kids are teaching us."
It's not too late to launch a holiday giving program at your facility. Sure, you can collect canned food, coats, change in a jar ... But I urge you to do something creative. Reach out to the neighborhood and get involved with your customers and prospects. It's too easy to wear blinders and get lost in your business. Every once in a while, it's good to swivel your head.
If you've got some ideas to share with fellow storage operators regarding holiday decorating or facility events, please comment on the blog.
