Management & the Zaikai Community Overview
11, 01. 2004
Current State
We'll Have a Say, Too: Japan's Zaikai Big Business Community No Longer Willing to Just Provide Political Contributions
Foreign businessmen talking together in Marunouchi Area, a business center of Tokyo
On January 18, 2005, the Nippon Keidanren (Japan Business Federation), which had been reviewing the state of Japanese national security and diplomacy, published a policy recommendation report that included a section seeking a revision of Article 9 (Renunciation of War) Paragraph 2 of the Constitution of Japan which renounced the retention of forces. It stated that Paragraph 2 should be revised in order to clearly express the retention of self-defense forces in order to secure the right to self-defense, as well as the right to exercise collective self-defense.
The Keizai Doyukai (Japan Association of Corporate Executives) and The Japan Chamber of Commerce and Industry have also published policy proposals seeking a revision of Article 9, so the major Japanese economic organizations are now all in agreement on this point.
"Zaikai" is a collective term for the organizations of Japanese business leaders who wield influence over the economy and politics. Of late, the Zaikai has been active in making its voice heard, not only in relation to the aforementioned security issue but also regarding other issues.
Mediation of Political Contributions Resumed
In 1993, the Japan Federation of Economic Organizations (Keidanren; precursor to the Nippon Keidanren formed through a merger in 2002) ceased its practice of mediating and allocating political contribution quotas to member companies and industrial organizations. It was left up to the company or organization to make autonomous decisions.
The Keidanren ceased its practice of mediating political donations in response to rising criticism that political contributions made by corporations were a breeding ground for political corruption. According to a Keidanren-member company source, the amount of donations made at the time was in excess of 10 billion yen.
Four Economic Organizations That Wielded Strong Influence in the Past
As economic organizations, or groups of corporate executives that come together for a specific purpose, four wielded great influence over politics and society since shortly after the end of World War II. They were: the Keidanren (Japan Federation of Economic Organizations), the Nikkeiren (Japan Federation of Employers' Associations), the Keizai Doyukai (Japan Association of Corporate Executives) and Nissho (Japan Chamber of Commerce and Industry). Each of these organizations had a different established role to play.
However, the once firm grip that the LDP had over control of the government began to wane in the 1990s, and the foundation that supported the raison d'etre of the Zaikai, especially the Keidanren, began to come loose. At the same time, criticism towards the adhesion between organized big business and the LDP become intense. This became one of the factors that led to the Keidanren's suspension of mediating political donations.
Brief Overview of the Nippon Keidanren (Japan Business Federation)
In its heyday, the Keidanren, which was established in 1946, was at the pinnacle of Japan's Zaikai and wielded great influence. Its chairman was referred to as the "prime minister of the business world." Nikkeiren, meanwhile, was originally established in 1948 when regional employers' associations came together as a national organization to counter labor unions. Nippon Keidanren, formed by the amalgamation of these two organizations, is composed of industrial organizations from a wide range of fields including financial services, manufacturing, and trade, as well as companies. As of May 2004, its membership numbered 1,623 companies and organizations. Virtually every major Japanese company is a member of Nippon Keidanren. It organizes the opinions of the Zaikai on such themes as trade friction, international issues and the domestic administration of political measures, and it makes recommendations to the Japanese government.

Hiroshi Okuda (Chairman, Toyota Motor Corporation)
Hiroshi Okuda, Chairman of Japan Business Federation and Toyota Motor Corp.
After working in sales and finance, Okuda was posted to Manila, Philippines in 1972, a move that was seen at the time as a career setback by others in the company. However, Okuda's work there was recognized by Shoichiro Toyoda (now honorary chairman of Toyota), a member of the Toyoda clan that had founded the company. Okuda continued on and cut a good figure in sales and overseas planning divisions. He was named president of Toyota in 1995. In May 1999, Okuda was named Nikkeiren Chairman, and was appointed chairman of Toyota in June the same year. By greatly expanding sales volume and profits, Okuda developed Toyota into a global automobile manufacturer that ranked alongside the Big Three auto manufacturers of the U.S. He became Chairman of the Nippon Keidanren in May 2002.
Brief Overview of the Keizai Doyukai (Japan Association of Corporate Executives)
The Keizai Doyukai was formed in 1946, not long after the end of World War II, by up-and-coming business leaders for the purpose of reconstructing the Japanese economy.
Profile of the Chairman of the Keizai Doyukai
Kakutaro Kitashiro (Chairman, IBM Japan, Ltd.)
Kakutaro Kitashiro, chaiman of the Japan Association of Corporate Executives
Upon being named President of IBM Japan in 1993, Kitashiro strove to revitalize the company's performance which was declining due to the spread of personal computers. He developed measures that responded to the industry trend to shift from hardware to software, and his capabilities were highly recognized. He was appointed to his current post as Chairman of IBM Japan in 1999.
Brief Overview of the Japan Chamber of Commerce and Industry
The Japan Chamber of Commerce and Industry is the central organization to which 524 local chambers of commerce located nationwide in major cities such as Tokyo, Osaka and elsewhere belong. As of January 2005, the nationwide organization had 1.54 million members. The first chambers of commerce and industry in Japan were established in 1878 in Tokyo, Osaka and Kobe. Although it later went through various transformations, including organizational and name changes, the Chambers of Commerce and Industry Law was established in 1954, and the Japan Chamber of Commerce and Industry became a public-interest corporation with a legal basis.

• Seven patients with concomitant atherosclerotic iliac stenosis and femoral artery occlusive disease were treated with polyvinyl balloon catheter dilation of the iliac artery and subsequent distal operative arterial reconstruction. The iliac lesions were short, localized, common and external iliac stenoses and the femoral lesions were superficial femoral artery occlusions in six patients and a common femoral occlusion in another. All seven iliac stenoses were successfully dilated. Subsequent operative femoral artery reconstruction was successful in these patients, with restoration of popliteal or pedal pulses and relief of ischemic symptoms over a follow-up period of two to 14 months. One patient's femoral popliteal bypass graft thrombosed four months postoperatively.

This painting is partly influenced by the work of Richard DiebenKorn as well as that of and earlier marriage of artists, Sonia and Robert Delaunay. With the later I enjoy the indelible compositions of arches and bows as shape and colour abstractions appear in the form s individually but also in a simultaneous style of fusion.. In the work of DiebenKorn I am fascinated by his elegantly sensitive plaints of colour and space.My painting, 'Salubrious Winter Landscape,' bears a strong reference to technique and mark-making as well as colour and shape and transforms visions and feelings of Welsh landscape on a indifferent rainy late winter day into watery and opaque modes of expression.A synaesthetic response to a venerable subject.

OUR HEALTH, OUR ACTION Tandrusti Research Findings Iram Naz (WEA Project Researcher)
Why we did the research? Gather Experiences and Assess needs: To map the health journeys of 50 BME/non BME individuals in Dudley Building Capacity and Sustainability: To develop 25 Community Health Champions Partnership Working: To work with public bodies to reduce health inequalities Sharing and Developing: To evaluate and disseminate the findings to shape future service provision.
Research Methods Qualitative Methodology 50 In-depth Semi Structured Interviews Ethical Consideration Constant Comparative Analysis
Stratified Random Sample: Representing Tandrusti students
Health Attitudes Good Health Absence of Disease Being Older Having Poor Health Health Services Symptom Control Tandrusti aims to challenge these Health Attitudes
Health Awareness Difference between health knowledge and health awareness Awareness of personal health developing after diagnosis or threat of disease or illness The need for contextualised and appropriate health information and promotion
Accessing health Information Higher Literacy Level = better access to health information Over 65s = poor access to health information GP main source and gatekeepers to other services 90% preferred 'interactive' health information to leaflets, books.
Disparity in perceived and actual healthiness of diet Awareness of healthy eating is quite good Importance of healthy eating is understood but not practiced Steady cultural shift and education required to change life long habits Food labels are very rarely followed by all groups interviewed
Raising motivation and having positive role models Motivation towards exercising with Tandrusti is high Motivation towards a healthy lifestyle was low Lack of positive role models and support Being Healthy= Major changes and a Big Challenge, Tandrusti aims to motivate learners through a supportive health education approach
Dispelling subjective interpretations of recommended physical activity How much physical activity should an average adult aged 18 and over do in a week? Answer: 30 Minutes of moderate physical activity 5 times a week (DoH and WHO, 2005)
Physical Activity Levels of Sample No. of people in sample
Understanding of being physically active <25% of people interviewed were doing ideal or sufficient physical activity Poor understanding of exertion and frequency balance in physical activity Physical activity stereotypes need to be broken
Health Service Use No. of Tandrusti Students using services
Health Service Use Awareness of services is quite poor, restricting access and outcome. GP is the most widely used service, satisfaction is quite high with GP but low with appointment system Older South Asian patients have low expectations from the health services 'Veterinary consultations' if communication is poor between health services and patient
Cultural Factors and Health Modest descriptions of personal health by South Asian women issue for large surveys like Census 'Purdah' (veiling) a barrier to mainstream physical activity for Muslim women, Tandrusti provides a culturally appropriate service for this group. More younger women coming forward as a result. Tandrusti has broken some cultural myths through mixed gender exercise sessions, swimming classes.
Mental Health Physical and mental illness can be intertwined, easier to talk about physical symptoms Poor mental health = Social, emotional dysfunction so unfavourable to be shared outside family Mental health services need to understand intricacies of cultural norms and their impact on attitude and behaviour
Tandrusti's Impact Reduced Blood Pressure readings in over 90% of learners Improved Posture, Stability and Flexibility in learners Awareness of the impact of exercise on the body Improved Self Confidence Emotional support and social networking through grouped exercise Motivation to improve health awareness Challenging cultural norms/stereotypes through mixed gender classes Exercise made fun and less chore like has increased participation Willingness to participate in further community cohesion activities
Tandrusti Action Plan based on findings Increasing awareness of recommended Intensity and Frequency of physical activity Physical Activity beyond the Tandrusti class Raising awareness of integrated physical activity (at home/work etc) Signposting to other health/education services (particularly mental health) Learner led physical activity Setting up Additional Classes/ equipment Provision and evaluation of relevant health education/promotion Reinforcement of Key Health Messages through teaching and learning Training and implementation of Community Health Volunteers within Tandrusti.
Community Health Volunteers 20 Volunteers recruited and trained from various ethnic backgrounds and age groups Volunteering activities: Walk leading, Initial Assessment in classes, recruiting, motivating and Supporting, Stress Management
Recommendations Individuals Community fitness services Health Policy makers, stakeholders and Practitioners
Recommendations for Stakeholders 1. Increase awareness of ethnic disparities in health care among the general public, key stakeholders and healthcare providers. 2. Use evidence based practice guidelines; enhance patient provider communication and trust. 3. Ensure adequate resources are allocated to meet the needs of patients likely to suffer health inequality and disadvantage. 4. Provide appropriate interpretation services where community need exists
Recommendations.. 5. Ensure health promotion is culturally competent; consider issues of user background, literacy levels, accessibility and the translation and appropriateness of health messages to user lifestyles. 6. Consider incorporating and developing community health workers/ volunteers to support and implement multi-disciplinary treatment and preventative care programmes. 7. Implement patient education programmes to increase patients' knowledge on how to best access health care and participate in treatment decisions.
Recommendations… 8. Integrate cross cultural education into the training of all current and future health professionals. 9. Collect data on healthcare access and utilisation by patients' ethnicity and socioeconomic status. Report ethnicity data and monitor the progress towards the elimination of health care disparities. 10. Commission research to identify sources of ethnic inequalities, on barriers to tackling inequalities and to assess intervention strategies to reduce inequalities.

Sometimes losing weight can seem like the hardest thing in the world. Even if at first you are motivated and excited about losing weight, pitfalls along the way can leave you feeling discouraged, frustrated and ready to give up on your goals. What are the methods others have used to meet their objectives and maintain their results? You can find by reading on!
Before you go somewhere, you need to know where you are going. The same is true for your weight loss journey. Would you like to see a huge change in your body size, or do you just want to get firmer and tighter? Is your goal to increase your energy output by having a regular exercise program? What is it that you truly want to achieve?
For a smart addition to your weight loss routine, keep records of your goals and progress. When you take note of your progress, you will always be on top of your goals. Recording your weight each week helps keep you on the right path to reach your goals. You should try keeping a journal of your food intake as well. Making careful notes on what you eat daily can help you track your diet's effect on reaching your weight loss goals. Once you look at the journal you are keeping, you can get ideas for further weight loss.
Hunger impacts your self control, so remember to always have healthy snacks along to nibble on when hunger strikes during the day. This will help to prevent you from making unhealthy decisions, such as going through the drive-thru at a fast food restaurant. Planning your meals ahead of time and packing your lunch can also help you save money.
Do not let other members of your household fill your fridge with bad food choices. Your family may take some time getting used to this healthier way of eating, but they will adjust given time. Make sure your cupboards and fridge are filled with healthy food choices your whole family can enjoy. Nobody will have to live without a variety of snacking options. Having fruit as a snack is an excellent choice for people of all ages. Keep a supply of granola and assorted healthy snacks in your pantry for everyone in your house to enjoy.
When you are trying to lose weight, you need to let your friends and family know so they can help you out. They will help you stay inspired to follow your plan and attain your weight loss goals. Get in touch with your friends when you need a little bit of support.

1 Encouraging CS Novices to Write Katrin Becker
WCCCE 20062 Why?
WCCCE 20063 12 Essentials for Success: Competencies Employers Seek in College Graduates from: Michigan State U http://www.csp.msu.edu/pdf/competencies.pdf http://www.csp.msu.edu/pdf/competencies.pdf Working in a Diverse Environment Learning from people who are different from you—and recognizing your commonalities—is an important part of your education and essential preparation for the world you will join. Managing Time and Priorities Managing how you spend your time, and on what, is essential in today's world. Learn how to sort priorities so you stay in control of your life. Acquiring Knowledge Learning how to learn is just as important as the knowledge itself. No matter what your future holds, you'll continue to learn every day of your life. Thinking Critically Developing solid critical thinking skills means you'll be confident to handle autonomy, make sound decisions, and find the connection between opportunities you have to learn and how those opportunities will affect your future. Communicating Effectively Developing listening, interpreting, and speaking skills is just as important as reading and writing. Solving Problems You may only have thought about problemsolving when you're faced with a crisis. Understand the process and mind-set of successful problem-solving and you'll more easily handle the bigger challenges that come your way. The National Association of Colleges and Employers (NACE) recently awarded Michigan State University's Career Services Network the 2005 Excellence Award Contributing to a Team In the workplace each person's contribution is essential to success. Having the ability to work collaboratively with others is vital. This includes identifying individual strengths (yours and others) and harnessing them for the group, building consensus, knowing when to lead and when to follow, and appreciating group dynamics. Navigating Across Boundaries Life is filled with boundaries—good and bad. Discover how to avoid the boundaries that become barriers so you don't hamper the ability to collaborate with other people. Performing with Integrity It only takes one bad instance to destroy years of good faith and good relationships. It's important to develop a code of ethics and principles to guide your life. Developing Professional Competencies The end of college is the beginning of a new education. Build on what you already know and keep learning new skills—your job will challenge you to grow and develop in ways you haven't imagined yet. Balancing Work and Life You've got a lot to accomplish in limited time. How do you get it all done and still stay sane? The key is maintaining balance among the different parts of your life. Embracing Change Just about every aspect of life is in a constant state of change. Sometimes it may seem that no sooner do you get caught up than you have to start all over again. No matter how you feel about change, you have to learn to deal with it.
WCCCE 20064 Communicating Effectively?? "You teach a child to read, and he or her will be able to pass a literacy test." — G.W.Bush, in Townsend, Tenn., Feb. 21, 2001 "Rarely is the question asked: Is our children learning?" —G.W.Bush, in Florence, S.C., Jan. 11, 2000
WCCCE 20065 Overview 1.Writing to Communicate 2.Writing to Learn 3.Writing in CS 4.Learning about vs. learning to be 5.Forms of Writing 6.Reading Responses 7.Conclusions
WCCCE 20066 Writing to Communicate Writing to communicate is what James Britton calls "transactional writing", which means writing to accomplish something, to inform, instruct, or persuade.... James Britton, Language and Learning, London: Penguin Books, 1970. Our students need this. They already do some of this.
WCCCE 20067 Writing to Learn is different. to objectify our perceptions of reality to order and represent experience to our own understanding. a tool for discovering, for shaping meaning, and for reaching understanding Our students also need this. We don't do much of this.
WCCCE 20068 Writing Across the Curriculum WAC: 1970's – 1980's Based on: Writing is a valuable learning tool that can help students synthesize, analyze, and apply course content. Writing to Learn Makes use of journals, logs, microthemes, and other, primarily informal, writing assignments. Writing reactions in their own words == better comprehension and retention of information. Frequency helps maintain or improve writing skills and avoid a decrease in writing ability from entrance to senior year. Writing in the Disciplines (WID) Each discipline has its own conventions of language use and style Must be taught to students to successfully participate in academic discourse. Reports, article reviews, and research papers Where did it go?
WCCCE 20069 CS Then and Now…. ACM Curriculum'78 20 pages ACM/IEEE CC2001 240 pages, CS volume ONLY Discipline has grown more to learn…
WCCCE 200610 Leads to learning that is: "Just the Facts…."
WCCCE 200611 Learning ABOUT VS. Learning TO BE
WCCCE 200612 Writing in CS Typical: - programs - documentation - specifications (requirements, functional, etc.) - "end-of-term" papers (sometimes) All transactional
WCCCE 200613 Why Don't we Assign Writing? - lack of expertise to assess - too much work - not my union - someone else already did (is doing) it
WCCCE 200614 Writing supports at least three roles in a CS program 1) writing is a communicative skill important in the discipline 2) writing is an effective way to learn as it involves the entire brain in all the processes: doing, depicting, and symbolizing 3) writing as a means of communication in the classroom helps to foster a more supportive and inclusive climate
WCCCE 200615 Writing to Learn Activities * The reading journal * Generic and focused summaries * Annotations * Response papers * Synthesis papers * The discussion starter * Focusing a discussion * The learning log * Analyzing the process * Problem statement * Solving real problems * Pre-test warm-ups * Using Cases * Letters * What counts as a fact? * Believing and doubting game * Analysis of events * Project notebooks * The writing journal
WCCCE 200616 Forms of Writing in CS: ~ most to least common Code Documentation Specifications (requirements, functional, etc.) Email / IM Forums Blogs Essays Post Mortems Reading Responses
WCCCE 200617 Forms of Writing Writing improves with practice. Encourage practice through: - small - manageable - low risk - high feedback - fast turn-around
WCCCE 200618 Reading Responses Assigned readings News articles, other current topics Anything relevant 250-500 words (1/2-1 page) Reaction/opinion rather than summary Casual, but not IM Referenced
WCCCE 200619 Reaction Tentative at first Second responses became more adventurous Liked the approach Examples: –"Realism in Gaming" –"Wicked Problems" –"The Art of Computer Games Design" (book review) –"Hitting The High Notes from Joel on Software" –"The Post-OOP Paradigm" by Brian Hayes
WCCCE 200620 Conclusions Reading Responses Require active engagement with the material. Allow inclusion of real-world news, issues, research Promotes contact with both scholarly and popular writing
WCCCE 200621 Thanks! Questions?

Nanticoke hiker Keri Venarchick builds character, gains confidence on Appalachian Trail
People turn to a multitude of outlets to exorcise demons. They get lost in their jobs, their passions, their relationships, but one Nanticoke woman got lost in the woods.
Keri Venarchick, 26, walked 2,189 miles from Springer Mountain, Ga. to Mount Katahdin, Maine, along the entire Appalachian Trail. The trip took her nearly five months. She started on April 1 and reached her destination on Aug. 24. She returned to the Wyoming Valley changed by the experience, she said.
Keri, an avid outdoor enthusiast, said her twin sister, Erin, got her interested in the Appalachian Trail, and the sisters planned to thru-hike (walk the entire trail) together. This year, Keri said she felt the journey inside of her and had to embark on it, although her sister couldn't join her.
"I needed a change," Keri said. "I felt like my life was falling apart … and I needed to get out in the woods and do the trail."
Erin and Keri's father, Peter, accompanied Keri along the mile up to Springer Mountain to start her trek. That, she said, was her last moment of doubt.
"It was overwhelming to say goodbye," Keri said. "I didn't know when I was going to see them again or be able to contact them. In that moment, I was like, 'I'm doing this.' All I had to do was walk forward."
And she did.
She walked through 14 states, through varying terrains and weather conditions, learning the thru-hiking ropes as she went.
Before her journey began, Keri said she read a lot of blogs by experienced thru-hikers to best prepare herself for the trip without spending an exorbitant amount of money. As most first-timers do she over prepared.
"Half of my stuff, I got rid of within the first week," Keri said. "They say within the first week, if you haven't used it, get rid of it."
Keri started walking about eight miles per day, soon moving up to nine and 10 miles per day. By the end of her journey, she was covering about 20 miles per day. She'd walk alone during the day and meet up with fellow hikers at designated shelters at night. Although she set out alone, she said, she wasn't bothered.
"I love being alone," Keri said. "Being in the woods, I'm so comfortable … like the trail is there to protect me almost."
Despite her comfort level on the trail, Keri said there was no way for her to be 100 percent prepared for her first extensive backpacking trip.
She encountered her first obstacle four days in — a spring night that got cold enough to bring a frost. She and other hikers had to call a hostel to pick them up.
"It's not a walk in the woods," Keri said. "It's a whole adventure."
She also found out how hard thru-hiking can be on the feet, experiencing blisters, bruises and tendon pain.
"You can always tell a thru-hiker to a day hiker when they wake up in the morning," she said. "You wake up and walk so stiffly."
Keri even felt she had her fill of climbing at one point. She began checking the elevation map each morning and becoming disheartened by consistent climbs.
"But as the days went on, I would meet people and gather their energy," Keri said. "I'd realize all I had to do was put one foot in front of the other."
Thru-hikers are traditionally given trail names by those they encounter. Along the way, she met friends with the trail names like Yeti, Long Cloud and Scavenger. Keri was given the name Cookie because she is a vegan baker by trade.
Charles "Long Cloud" Freeman, of Dingman's Ferry, said Keri is a modest human being with "massive amounts of drive and courage" who is at home in nature.
"She is definitely soft spoken, but she knows how to handle her own in the middle of the woods," Charles said. "What impressed me the most about Cookie's hike was her ability to remain vegan the entire trail."
Erin said the trail affected Keri in a positive way and that she retured from her journey more laid back than when she left.
"She learned from the trail that if you want to go conquer something, just go and do it," Erin said. "Don't let your mind or other people or events stop you from doing what you want to do, especially if its something that makes you happy and fulfilled inside."
Keri said her time spent on the trail, with like-minded people, cured her of the discomfort she felt in her own skin.
"It gave me the confidence boost to be myself," Keri said of the trip. "I took that back into this world. I feel OK just being who I am, not being afraid of the way I look, the way I act or the things I say. It's a character builder."

I was out in Vegas this week, driving a certain rear-wheel drive Scion I'll be talking about in much more detail next week. While there, I had a chance to sit with some product development guys from Scion and Toyota. As I always do in these situations, I took advantage of the chance to tell them about all my amazing ideas. Because everyone loves having a semi-drunk idiot tell them how to do their jobs.

═══════════════════════════════════Title: Do Not Disturb (Deanna Madden, #2) Author: A. R. Torre (Alessandra Torre) Genre: Erotic Suspense Releasing: April 21st
Equal parts Dexter and 50 Shades, this is the eagerly awaited follow-up to the daring erotic thriller, The Girl in 6E, by A.R. Torre.My rules:
1. Don't leave the apartment.
2. Never let anyone in.
3. Don't kill anyone.
The rules were simple and I broke them.
Now I must face the consequences.
Everyone else must face me.
Freedom can be a drug. The more you get, the more you want.
I still remember when I read The Girl in 6E, it was one of the first Alessandra books and I was just in shock and awe. I had no idea what to expect, but was blown away as the story progressed. Deanna Madden loves killing, she knows the danger she is to society so she has taken precautions to protect others from herself. 1. Don't leave the apartment, 2. Never let anyone in, 3. Don't kill anyone.
Since The Girl in 6E Deanna's life is for the first time in years progressing. She is still working as a cam girl, but she is now dating Jeremy and attempting to get out more. I actually loved this part of the story. I have loved Deanna since I first met her. This girl is seriously badass, but she has tons of heart. She is a complete contradiction, she is a stone cold killer, but is protective and compassionate. She wants to be better, so seeing her life finally move forward gradually made me so happy.
We don't choose who we love, Deanna. You are beautiful to me. Perfect to me. Despite what you struggle with.
Jeremy is the perfect boyfriend for Deanna. I love how he supported and gave her what she needed. He was understanding and wanted to help her battle her demons.
If you are familiar with the talented Alessandra you know this story has to be so much more than a road to recovery. This lady wrote the book on taking you outside your comfort zone and dropping in no mans land without a clue. It's why she is one of my favorite authors. She always surprises me.
Do Not Disturb takes you on a journey that will have to gasping and breathless. I am not a speed reader, but while reading I was going as fast as I could to see what would happen next. There are multiple heart stopping moments where I thought things would happen one way only to have them go another. That's thing about Alessandra's writing even when you think you know, you have no idea.
I absolutely loved this story. I love how we get love, growth and tons of heart. I love how I couldn't predict this story. I loved the thrilling, suspenseful moments that left my mouth hanging open. I love how this story combines steam, love and suspense without being over the top or unrealistic. Another favorite from the super talented Alessandra! I highly recommend this book if you are fan of suspenseful thrillers, with a whole lot of sexy, and heart.
ARC kindly provided in exchange for an honest review.
═══════════════════════════════════A New York Times, USA Today, and Wall Street Journal Bestselling Author, Alessandra Torre has written nine novels, four of which became #1 Erotic Bestsellers.

Colorado Adventure Retreat
Explore all that the Rocky Mountains have to offer with an outdoor adventure & fitness retreat in one of our country's most scenic states, Colorado! With a combination of mobility sessions, HIIT training, flexibility through yoga, and pushing your comfort level with rock climbing, you will feel "bulletproof" strong - mentally and physically - after a few days with Coach Julia!
The fitness:
This fitness on this retreat will be a balance of mobility work, yoga, and high intensity interval training. The higher intensity workouts will be a mix of body weight calisthenics and plyometrics, some sprinting, and some strength training, while the the mobility component - often ignored and extremely important - will teach you how to properly prep and recover your body to perform at its peak without as high a risk of injury. This will include stretching, rolling, yoga, and other techniques that will feel amazing!
The retreat:
We'll be staying at a beautiful boutique hotel in the heart of Denver, with access to the city's culture, restaurants, and nightlife. But most of our activities will take us outside of the city for rock climbing, hiking, and special workouts in beautiful locations like the Red Rocks Amphitheater! Plus, we'll have plenty of time to relax, check out some local craft breweries that the town (and state) is known for.
Highlights / What's included
Meet Coach Julia Falamas
Julia is a coach and nutritional consultant who specializes in sports performance and body composition. She began coaching competitive gymnastics at the age of 16 outside of Atlanta, GA where her passion for the sport and watching young athletes develop evolved into an obsession with athletics for all ages.
When she began her adult training career, Julia became a certified yoga instructor. Since then, she has expanded her areas of expertise and has developed a reputation at one of Manhattan's elite boutique training facilities, Epic Hybrid Training. As their head coach and program director, she was able to grow as a coach and athlete. You can now find her coaching at TS Fitness on New York's Upper East Side and as Head Youth Athletic Trainer as well as Crossfit and Barbell Coach at Crossfit Spot.
Julia has successfully competed in obstacle races, half marathons, body-building competitions and most recently, olympic weightlifting. She holds awards as a Spartan Racer, WBFF Figure Pro and Weightlifter. Her understanding of the body, nutrition, event-specific training and recovery make her a versatile and dynamic coach.
Sample itinerary
Day 1
We will arrive in Colorado via the Denver airport and head over to our hotel to get settled. We'll have a casual welcome meeting and then head out for a mobility session to wake up our bodies after traveling all morning. In the afternoon, we'll enjoy a bike tour of Denver to get to know the city and its sites, and then we'll shower up for a welcome group dinner.
Day 2
After a restful night, we will wake up invigorated and excited to explore the great outdoors in Colorado! We'll kick off the day with a workout at the famous Red Rocks Amphitheater followed by some time to grab lunch and explore the town of Golden (home of the Coors Brewery). In the afternoon, we'll enjoy a beautiful hike, stopping for some mobility stretches and yoga along the way. The evening is free for visiting local craft breweries, checking out Denver nightlife, or just enjoying a delicious dinner with the group.
Day 3
By now you're probably in love with the state, the mountains, and the beer, so this morning's prehab mobility session + HIIT class will be a breeze! But, day three of the retreat will test your limits (in a good way) with a rock climbing excursion! All levels will be welcome, and the views will be unparalleled. Tonight we'll enjoy dinner as a group and reflect on the retreat that has come and gone too quickly. Perhaps we head out for a couple of cocktails as well or check out the live music scene for a celebratory last night.
Day 4
On the final morning of the retreat, we will wake to our last mobility session and workout. After showers and packing up, we will head out for a light farewell hike (if flight schedules allow for it) and picnic lunch. We'll soak up the sites and sounds one more time and then make our way to the airport with new friends and lasting memories.

The Wizard of Oz: A Parable for Populism
Based on the analysis by Henry M. Littlefield
The story In 1900, L. Frank Baum published a children's story called The Wizard of Oz. You're probably familiar with the 1939 movie of this story in which a girl named Dorothy finds herself in a fantastical world where she must follow a yellow brick road to speak to the Wizard of Oz. On the way she befriends a brainless scarecrow, a heartless tin man and a cowardly lion. Together they find the wizard, defeat the Wicked Witch of the West and each finds what he was looking for. If you haven't seen this movie, you have a huge hole in your American pop culture knowledge. Get some friends together, get some popcorn and rent the movie.
The Wizard of Oz could have been used as populist propaganda
The Wizard of Oz could have been used as populist propaganda. While it is fairly well understood that the author was not a populist, he did include current themes in his works.
The life of a farmer In the book, Dorothy's life on the farm is dark and dreary, a lot like the hard life at this time.
Evil Rules the East and the West
Dorothy is taken to Oz on a tornado Her house lands on and kills the Wicked Witch of the East Now, evil only rules in the West
The Munchkins The Munchkin people were under the power of the Wicked Witch of the East. The Munchkins represent the eastern industrial laborers under the control of rich leaders of industry.
The Land of Oz A magical and beautiful place
In the North and South, people are ruled by good witches A yellow brick road (the gold standard) leads to the Emerald City (Washington D.C.)
Dorothy Dorothy represents the common man She is good and levelheaded
She has problem and doesn't know how to solve it
Silver, not Ruby Red Slippers
Dorothy is sent to see the wizard In the book, she is given silver slippers to protect her And, she must take the golden road She doesn't realize until the end that the power to get home was with her all along—all she had to do was click her shoes and wish herself home
Likewise, farmers and laborers didn't understand the power of silver
Likewise, farmers and laborers didn't understand the power of silver. They couldn't organize well enough to defeat the gold standard.
Dorothy is accompanied by three companions:
The Tin Woodman The Scarecrow The Cowardly lion
The Tin Woodman Once he was an independent and hard working human being Under the spell of the Wicked Witch of the East, the Woodman found that every time he swung his axe he chopped off a different part of his wooden body. Eventually, he was patched up with tin
Tin Woodman "In this way Eastern witchcraft dehumanized a simple laborer so that the faster and better he worked, the more quickly he became a kind of machine." —Henry Littlefield The Tinman rusted stiff and couldn't move just like the eastern laborer had no way out of his terrible condition.
The Scarecrow Terrible sense of inferiority and self-doubt
Thinks he needs a new brain He represents farmers who were ignorant and irrational In the end, Scarecrow proved to have had the brains all along
The Cowardly Lion Roared loudly, but no one was scared of him
Believed he needed courage William Jennings Bryan roared loudly but lost the eastern laborer vote
The Wicked Witch of the West
Dorothy ends up fighting the Wicked Witch of the West The Wicked Witch can represent the railroads or mother nature The flying monkeys are the Native Americans; they can be both good and bad The witch is defeated by water, the most valuable western commodity
The Wizard of Oz The Wizard lives in the Emerald City and is powerless; his powers are an illusion He represents any president from Grant to McKinley. These presidents were fairly unimpressive and did the bidding of the rich
The Wizard of Oz In the end, it is Dorothy's silver shoes that get her home. Unfortunately for the farmer, he never got the chance to see the power of silver.

Veranda Paul et Virginie Beach - The honeymoon paradise!
The Spa Beach belongs to the Veranda Paul & Virginie hotel and is situated in the north of the island in the small fishing village of Grand Gaube. In spite of the increase in tourism the village has managed to keep its original charm and the hotel blends in nicely with the traditional atmosphere. The roofs are covered with dried sugar cane leaves and from every room you can see the Indian Ocean. From the beach itself you can watch the passing traditional wooden fishing boats.
The hotel is an adults only hotel and is especially popular with honeymooners, mainly because of the fantastic view across the water, where in the distance you can see the five small uninhabited islands situated off the coast of Mauritius. The white, sandy beach is surrounded by enormous palm-trees and completing the impressive setting is a bay of black lava rock.
The beach is also a popular spot for kiting, windsurfing and diving. There are excellent wind conditions in the Mauritian winter from June to September and you can hire equipment and book courses from the water-sports provider at the beach. The north is known for its fascinating underwater world and snorkelling and diving are well worth trying here.
However, the beach is best of all for rest and relaxation.

King and Queen Courthouse
King and Queen County was formed in 1691 and named for William and Mary, then ruling as King and Queen of England. In 1691 Edmund Tunstall deeded one Acre of his lands to the recently formed county for use as a courthouse. Larkin Chew, carpenter, executed a bond in Essex County for its courthouse in 1702 reciting that it would be the same as the frame building 45' by 22' he had built for the King and Queen courthouse. Brick construction of the courthouse and clerk's office, usually the first two buildings built, came later, probably after the first public buildings were built of brick in Williamsburg beginning about 1705–10.
The courthouse and all records were burned on April 8, 1828. The courthouse was rebuilt on the same site shortly after.
During the Civil War the courthouse and the records were burned again. Union Col. Ulric Dahlgren led a group of about 150 soldiers on March 2, 1864 through King and Queen after an aborted attack on Richmond. He was killed near the courthouse. In retaliation, on March 10, 1864 Union forces burned the courthouse, jail, clerk's office, and all of the private homes in the village, except the Tavern.
After the County Court held meetings at Pace's Chapel near the Court House and then in Stevensville, the General Assembly, authorized an election in the county in 1866 on whether to keep the county seat at King and Queen Court House. As a result, the courthouse, jail, and clerk's office were rebuilt on their same foundations. The first meeting in the new courthouse was held on December 6, 1866.
Before 1895 the building was expanded to 64'x22' and wings of 32'x23' added. A vestibule was added in 1895, giving the building its present configuration as shown in the picture above dating from about 1927. An office for the clerk was added to the rear in 1957. The Circuit Court of King and Queen County continues to sit in the building.
An open, low area, once used for stables for those coming to the courthouse in an earlier time, was the site of a 1941 Pageant commemorating the County's 250th anniversary.
Martin's 1835 Gazatteer described the village of King and Queen Court House as containing
"besides the usual county buildings, 4 dwelling houses, 2 miscellaneous stores, a tavern, a magazine, and a tanyard. There is in the vicinity a flour manufacturing mill and a grist mill which also has machinery for grinding and packing corn. Population 14 white, of whom 1 is an attorney, and 1 physician, and 40 colored- total 54. This village is proverbially unhealthy, being surrounded by marshes- to this circumstance may be attributed the small amount of population."
Old Clerk's Office and Confederate Monument
No date has been set for the building of the first clerk's office, since it and all records were burned in 1828. An 1840 plat shows the office at its present location. After it was burned in 1864 during the Civil War by Union forces in retaliation for the county Home Guards killing of Union Col. Ulric Dahlgren, the present building was constructed in 1866. The building, with minor changes in the 1930s, was used as the Clerk's Office from 1866 until the new Clerk's Office was added to the courthouse in 1957. It now holds the archives of the Historical Society and its Museum.
In 1912 the Confederate monument was erected in memory of the Confederate Soldiers and Sailors of King and Queen County.
The walls surrounding the courthouse area were built as a WPA project in the 1930s.
Courthouse Tavern Museum
The three-story house, originally a residence dating at least to 1802, was used after Martin's Tavern was burned in 1865 as a tavern or hotel for visitors coming to the Courthouse, until it was sold to the County in 1941 to be used as the County's first office building. After the County built its new courts and administration building in 1997, the County and the King and Queen Historical Society entered into an agreement to open the Courthouse Tavern Museum in this building. The picture above shows the building, probably sometime about 1960, after room air conditioners became popular and before the front stairs were removed. The front stairs were restored as part of the rehabilitation of the building by the Historical Society in 2000.
Old Jail
The jail, possibly the third building at the site, was at this location by 1840, when it was shown on a plat of the courthouse area. Burned to the ground in retaliation for the Dahlgren killing, it was rebuilt in 1866 on the prior foundation. The first sheriff's office in the County was once located in this building. It is now used as the office of the voting registrar.
This small building was moved to its location by Roland Allen in the 1920s after a fire burned a row of buildings that housed a garage, a blacksmith shop, an ice cream shop, and a barber shop, all of which would have been especially busy on court days. The present building has been used as a garage, a residence, and for county health services office. It is now owned by Immanuel Episcopal Church.
Old School Building
Built in 1909 as the first two-room school in the area, this building had a movable partition that could be drawn down the middle of a large room to form two classrooms. The Courthouse School opened in 1910 and housed grades one through seven. It was sold in 1932 to the Woman's Club of King and Queen County, its present owner, who added a wing on the south side for a kitchen. Benches from this schoolhouse are now in the Log Schoolhouse behind the Museum.
Martin Tavern Site
It is believed a tavern was located at King and Queen Court House at least by 1716, because a traveler with colonial Gov. Alexander Spotswood reported they had "dined and tarried" there. An 1840 plat shows Ben Hart's Tavern located on this site. William Martin operated a tavern on the site when the tavern was burned along with the other buildings in the village in 1864. In 1913 Dr. William Hoskins built the present house, which reportedly was the first house in the county built by a contractor. In 1918 Roland Allen bought the house, now known as the Allen House on Allen Circle.
Immanuel Episcopal Church
Built in 1884, this church replaced the Quintinoco Episcopal Church, which was located about two miles from King and Queen Court House and burned in 1871. The sundial shown in the picture was from the colonial Upper Church of St. Stephens Parish, or Apple Tree Church, and is now on exhibit in the Courthouse Tavern Museum.
Oliver-Allen Store and Bird-Oliver House (now demolished)
(Now demolished)
The Oliver-Allen Store, thought to have been built in 1864 by William Bird after an earlier store on the site was burned, was operated by Spotswood Bird, and then his partner Roland Allen, after Spotswood Bird's death. After Allen's retirement it was operated by his brother-in-law and partner, Claiborne Oliver. The Bird-Oliver House was built about 1900 by Spotswood Bird, brother of Mary Ella Bird Purcell. The County purchased and demolished the buildings when constructing the new Courts and Administration building.
The Bird-Oliver House (not shown), once located next to the Oliver-Allen Store, was built about 1900 by Spotswood Bird, brother of Mary Ella Bird Purcell, who lived in the Tavern that became the Museum. The County purchased and demolished the Oliver-Allen Store and the Bird-Oliver House when building the new Courts and Administration Building.
Tunstall-Pollard-Taylor House
This house is believed to be the site of the home of Edmund Tunstall where the county court of New Kent met on September 29 and October 9, 1690, before King and Queen County was formed. After Tunstall gave the land for the courthouse in 1691, members of his family served as clerks of the Court for a number of years. Robert Pollard, also clerk of the court, was living in the house when it was burned with the other buildings in the village in 1864. It was promptly rebuilt on the original foundations. Prior to his death in 1892, William Bird deeded the property to his daughter Mattie Bird Taylor whose husband, John Taylor, was a deputy clerk to his father.
Log Schoolhouse
The Eastern View Schoolhouse was originally constructed and located at Eastern View Farm, near Owenton, King and Queen County, Virginia. It was constructed about 1870, used first as a private and then a public school until about 1903, and was the last remaining log schoolhouse in King and Queen County. Donated by Marian Minor, owner of Eastern View Farm, it was moved to the present site behind the King and Queen Courthouse Tavern Museum and rehabilitated by community volunteers in 2004. It is furnished as an late 19th-century log schoolhouse. Adjacent to the Log Schoolhouse is the bell from the old Marriott School, located near St. Stephens Church, that burned in the late 1930s and was rebuilt shortly thereafter without the need of a bell.
Carriage House
The Carriage House located behind the Museum was built in 2009 to house the restored Franklin Buggy Company buggy that had been used in King and Queen County for more than 100 years. Harnesses and other equipment used with a horse-drawn buggy are also displayed. The building also includes the interior facade of the Stevensville Post Office, closed a number of years ago, as well as post office furnishings and old stamped envelopes once mailed in King and Queen County. A commemorative envelope may be purchased at the Museum Shop.
