Pg 2 of 14 www.centerforspace.com CSSI Overview Introduction Background Methodology Demonstration Conclusions
Pg 3 of 14 www.centerforspace.com CSSI Introduction Many operators are aware of the possibility of a collision between their satellite and another object Few are aware of the frequency of occurrences No central source of conjunction information Problem is further confounded by lack of –Timely, comprehensive orbital data (including covariance) –Standard software –Computationally efficient algorithms
Pg 4 of 14 www.centerforspace.com CSSI Introduction Result –Hundreds of conjunctions within 1 km go unreported each week –Billions of dollars of space hardware—and their associated missions—are put at risk
Pg 5 of 14 www.centerforspace.com CSSI Background Center for Space Standards & Innovation (CSSI) offers SOCRATES conjunction advisory service –Each day, CSSI runs all payloads (active and inactive) against all objects on orbit 2,686 payloads vs. 8,593 objects (as of 2005 Aug 17) Limited to public access TLEs (no active DOD satellites) –Full catalog would be 2,954 payloads vs. 9,379 objects Provides daily, searchable reports via CelesTrak –Reports and associated data used to produce them are freely available to the public
Pg 6 of 14 www.centerforspace.com CSSI Methodology CSSI uses: –Standard data sources: NORAD two-line element sets –Standard orbital models: NORAD SGP4/SDP4 –COTS software: Satellite Tool Kit with STK/CAT (Conjunction Analysis Tools) CSSI produces daily STK/CAT runs reporting: –Minimum distance at time of closest approach (TCA) –Maximum probability of collision –Coming: First-order estimate of true probability of collision
Pg 7 of 14 www.centerforspace.com CSSI Methodology Capability now exists to build full STK scenarios on the fly directly from SOCRATES reports –Provides quick, easy way to incorporate all aspects of a particular conjunction into a 3-D framework for additional analysis Allows user to easily incorporate higher quality data, if available Flows directly into other space operations analysis, such as maneuver planning
Pg 8 of 14 www.centerforspace.com CSSI Demonstration Easy to find from CelesTrak home pageCelesTrak –Click on link for SOCRATES –Provides basic information along with: Top 10 Conjunctions by Maximum Probability Top 10 Conjunctions by Minimum Range Search Capability

Operator of Shadyside's Oh Yeah! ice cream parlor and bank refuses to meltMarch 29, 2013 8:00 AM
With the pluck of a cornered cat arching its back, Ethan Clay is not going down without a fight.
Despite threats of big fines by state banking regulators, the owner of a Shadyside ice cream shop who opened his own version of a community bank last summer isn't abandoning his mission -- although he has made some changes in the way he advertises his services.
In September, the Pennsylvania Department of Banking and Securities said it did not approve of the operation inside the Oh Yeah! ice cream and coffee shop on Highland Avenue that Mr. Clay launched -- offering check cashing, "neverdraft" loans and interest on deposits in the form of store credit -- as a low-cost alternative to fee-gouging banks.
"We're [going to be] telling him to stop," spokesman Ed Novak said at the time, noting that among other problems, Mr. Clay had not applied for a banking charter.
The department followed up with a letter in late November citing "multiple violations" that could trigger $10,000 fines, according to Mr. Clay.
He said the warning letter primarily took issue with "semantics, the way we phrased what we are doing." So he promptly made some changes.
The name of the operation went from Whalebone Intergalactic Cafe Bank to Whalebone Intergalactic Cafe Banco.
Instead of accepting deposits, Mr. Clay started advertising "never-ending gift cards" that earn store credit. Instead of making loans, he began offering "neverdraft cash sets" of $100 for a $5 monthly "rental" fee.
On his website -- www.theohyeah.com -- he added this disclaimer: "Whalebone Intergalactic is not a bank or member FDIC."
"I followed their letter to a 'T,"' he said.
Since then, Mr. Clay said he hasn't heard from regulators. "If there's still an issue of compliance, they haven't been in communication about it," he said Wednesday.
At this point, the banking department isn't talking. Mr. Novak declined comment this week when asked for an update. The department generally does not discuss ongoing regulatory matters unless a cease-and-desist order has been issued or a consent agreement has been reached settling the dispute.
Changes aside, if the posts on Mr. Clay's website, Twitter and Facebook pages are any indication, he remains committed to his cause.
"We are taking on the challenge of transforming the retail banking industry," his website states.
"PA dept of banks threatening us ... we keep growing," he tweeted in late December.
In November when Mr. Clay received the warning letter, he took time to post a word of appreciation. "Thank you Pa Dept of banking for primer on naughty words for non-banks," he tweeted.
Mr. Clay said Wednesday that he was being sincere.
"I learned a lot from the letter. I didn't know it was against the law or that you couldn't say the word 'bank,' " he said. "All of my old business cards, I have those in my secret stash."
Mr. Clay said any disdain he has is for big banks, which he likes to needle online.
"Typical banks run on interest, profit and greed. Whalebone runs on principle," he tweeted last fall.
"Bankers can of course afford to not be at work today," he posted on Columbus Day. "Whalebone is open daily, including all imperial holidays."
Mr. Clay said he got the idea for Whalebone -- an anagram of the words "whole bean" -- after unpleasant experiences with banks, including racking up some $1,600 in overdraft fees after overdrawing his account by $200.
So far, he said he has opened about 25 never-ending gift card accounts and has sold about a dozen "cash sets," with no defaults.
"Our aim is to create a model for future banking, even though we aren't a bank," he said.
He said he recently opened an "outpost" in Detroit, where he uses word of mouth to make short-term loans in the community.
"I haven't had any issues in Detroit yet," he said.
Mr. Clay said he is resolute in his goal of helping struggling people by lending them money so they can avoid big overdraft fees.
"Call it economic justice."mobilehome - homepage - neigh_city - businessnews

Finely shred the vegetables, using a vegetable peeler, to make long but thin strands. Rotate the vegetable as you work, so that you're always on the edge of the vegetable - the thinnest strands are made this way. If you have a mandolin, go for your life.
Super-quick White Sauce:
3 Tbsp margarine/butter
3 Tbsp white flour
1 & 1/2 to 2 & 1/2 cups Soymilk/milk
Melt the margarine in a frying pan (for maximum evaporation!) and mix the flour into the mix, allowing the paste to cook for a few minutes to remove that raw-floury taste and texture. Lower the heat.
Very slowly add a cup of the soymilk (or milk, I know you don't all love soymilk like I do!) whilst constantly stirring, so that it becomes incorporated completely without creating lumps. Using a whisk is a good idea to remove lumps.
As the sauce thickens, add more soymilk to thin it. Adjust the heat as necessary - I have an electric hotplate, so I turn the heat up to medium and simply remove the pan from the heat when it's thickening too quickly - that way I can add more liquid before it becomes a thick paste.
How much liquid you need depends on how thick you want your sauce to be. At a certain point the roux (flour mix) will reach saturation point at the sauce will stop thickening. Once this happens, simply add liquid to reach your desired texture, and serve immediately.
To use this over pasta, I recommend a few tablespoons of finely chopped, fresh parsley and a generous grind of each salt and pepper.

Guitar Lessons in Chicago, IL
By Will P. - Chicago Guitar Teacher While it's impossible to pinpoint any one locale as "the birthplace of Rock 'n' Roll," the city of Chicago has a strong claim to the title. In 1955, Chuck Berry came to Chicago to record for the already world-renowned Chess Records label. For years, Chess (and Chicago) had been home to some America's most famous blues artists: Muddy Waters, Howlin' Wolf, Etta James and Sonny Williamson, just to name a few. So when Chuck Berry and fellow rock innovator Bo Diddley came to Chess to cut their first records, Chicago became an epicenter not only for blues but also for the exploding rock 'n' roll scene – and one central component to that new wave of music was the guitar.
Follow that track through the second half of the twentieth century to the present and it's clear Chicago has always been a critical point on the map of American guitar music. Today, world class bands like the Smashing Pumpkins, OK GO, and Wilco all call Chicago home. Chicago is the permanent home to music festivals Lollapalooza and Pitchfork, and the city hosts its own jazz, blues and gospel festivals every summer, bringing some of the top guitarists in the world to Grant Park. Eric Clapton has even chosen Chicago as the site for his Crossroads Guitar Festival for the last few years.
Meanwhile, the independent music scene thrives in Chicago. On any given night of the week you can find excellent local groups and artists playing a myriad of genres and styles of music: jazz, blues, indie rock, pop, punk, and metal. As a student of bass or guitar lessons in Chicago, this is a critical factor: in a city with such a rich musical tradition and so many talented musicians, you're bound to find a wealth of excellent teachers willing to share their knowledge and experience with you.
You might be surprised to learn that many of the musicians you see rocking out on stage on any given night also work as mild-mannered instructors teaching guitar lessons in Chicago during the days and evenings. This can be a tremendous resource for music students; you can learn from your instructor in a one-on-one setting and then go to see them and their peers in action onstage. Without a doubt, one of the most important aspects of learning to play an instrument (aside from lots of practice!) is listening to music and going to concerts to see how the skills and techniques you're learning actually play out on stage in a real performance setting. With so many great musicians to see perform and so many skilled teachers to work with, the opportunities to dive in and immerse yourself in guitar lessons in Chicago have never been greater.

The very first things we'll learn to do in our private lesson will be to RELAX, BE PATIENT, and HAVE FUN. Yes, mastering (or even just getting decent at) the guitar takes time and dedicated work, but it should NEVER...BE...RUSHED. Ironically, by relaxing and taking it slow, you'll excel rather quickly and, more importantly, CORRECTLY.
Lessons are based on time-tested methods in guitar pedagogy as well as on up-to-date scientific research in the neurological and psychological processes of skill acquisition and expertise. Key concepts you will learn to incorporate into your practice are "deliberate practice," "spaced practice," "interleaved practice," "performance practice," "mental practice," "conceptual practice," and more. My goal, as a teacher, is to help students learn to practice effectively and efficiently in order to develop the neurological pathways necessary to form, improve, and maintain high-level, musical skills.
Absolutely! I accept students over 6 years old and at any experience level. Whether you've never touched a guitar before our first lesson, have been playing for a few years, or have your Master's degree in guitar performance, I can and will help you achieve your goals (so long as you do your homework).
For flamenco or classical lessons, you will need a nylon-string guitar (e.g., classical or flamenco), NOT a steel string guitar. If you don't own a nylon-string guitar, you can certainly rent one, but it must be available to you for home practice AT LEAST 6 days/week. For general guitar (with a pick), either a nylon-string or steel-string guitar is fine; however, beginners should use nylon-string guitars.
YES! If you follow my instruction and practice plan, I can certainly guarantee results!
Consistent and correct practice are the keys to success. The more consistent you are and the more correctly you practice, the sooner you'll reach your goals. This requires you to commit to practicing 6 days/week for an absolute minimum of 20 minutes/day up to a maximum of 3.5 hours/day; NO EXCEPTIONS! Again, you also MUST be practicing CORRECTLY. I'll show you how, but if you aren't practicing this way and are not consistent with your practice plan, I cannot guarantee results.

About Daniel K.Close
Wide range of studies.
About Daniel
Daniel is described by his students as a natural teacher. He prefers to be regarded as an advancing student, and takes the journey along with his students to guide them towards their goals with a friendly, positive, efficient and productive approach. He feels that music is within all of us, and a desire to learn is a sign of talent, so anyone can develop their musical abilities with methodical practice.
The musical journey for Daniel began at an early age with trumpet and piano studies which became a passion for him by the age of 14. He was the drum major of the high school marching band, and successfully completed a paid contract to arrange music for the high school jazz band which performed in a state beauty pageant. He began teaching privately after high school, and continued playing in bands, and composing original music. He formed a professional jazz ensemble under the name of the Chicago Jazz Players by the age of 22, and developed his arranging techniques while having it performed by an eighteen piece orchestra consisting of many great local artists. It was in this environment that he gained experience with brass, woodwinds, and rhythm instruments. He was granted a position at Columbia College as an instructor at age 29 where he taught theory, sight singing, musicianship, ear training, harmony, orchestration, and composition. He scored the music for several plays, and conducted his own pieces with Chicago Symphony and Lyric Opera Players. During those years he found himself playing the guitar and singing more than anything else. It was in 1995 that he focused on singing and playing the guitar with his rock band. He has produced several CD recordings of his original music in his own studio, and has helped produce local bands and artists. He performs regularly in the Chicago area.
*** Lesson Details ***
Daniel exhibits patience and care with each student, and develops an individualized approach based on clear goals with practical procedures. Most beginners can expect to have a working knowledge of music notation and how it applies to their instrument within three months, and should be developing fluency in performing music that they enjoy within six months. Advancing students will enjoy the rewards that will follow by studying with an experienced teaching musician that will recognize strengths and weaknesses, and recommend proven techniques for personal musical development. Studying music should be fun, fulfilling, and in harmony with the needs and desires of the student, and this is key to the philosophy held by Daniel.
*** Studio Equipment ***
Eight track recording gear; grand piano; guitars/bass (acoustic & electric); cables/amps, drum kit and percussion.
*** Travel Equipment ***
I can provide lesson materials, and always have a metronome with me. I expect the student to have an instrument. I prefer that a student has a music stand.
*** Specialties ***
Customized approach to the individual based on needs and goals.

Matthew has been a big help so far in getting me started playing the guitar. We have had 4 lessons so far, and he has taught me several ch
My son was 7 when he began the guitar and after just over a year, we decided that it would be best to switch to the piano. Practicing the guitar was always a struggle. Andrew took this change from guitar to piano in stride and has enough piano skills to help my son learn all of the things that are important in music: reading, learning rhythm, etc. I have seen him teach younger students and I appreciate that he can adapt his teaching approach to match the age, ability and interest of the learner.
My son seems intrinsically motivated to learn the piano and practice. But even as he plodded away strumming his electric guitar unenthusiastically, Andrew always found a way to engage him. One of the more memorable techniques Andrew uses is to write out the music for the songs my son wants to learn. At that moment, it was a Pokémon song. I thought it was rather genius. Even though my son barely practiced, he wanted to learn that song.
By means of the piano, Andrew is teaching my son music, not just how to play songs on the piano. I am amazed at the progress he has made from not being able to reproduce rhythms to now being able to do so.
It is clear that Andrew enjoys teaching. He is personable and polite. I have referred him to family and friends and would not hesitate to hire him for drums, guitar and beginning piano."
Great teacher takes time to cover theory of music, and does hour lessons unlike most teachers in town who do 30min lessons. Have taken less

This is a great blog on safety at workplaces because lack of safety may cause death of a person also. Proper safety measures must be taken.
An article in NewJersey.com reports on a response from Earth Friendly products.
Earth Friendly Products Inc., a Norwood company cited last week for alleged safety violations, has addressed all the issues and is meeting with the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) Wednesday to resolve the matter, according to the company's counsel.
"Earth Friendly Products is committed to providing a safe working environment for its employees," general counsel Amber Enriquez said in a statement Monday.

Spiced Date & Raisin Cookies (aka Hermit Cookies)
I've got another grandma recipe for you. I'm not always so nostalgic, I think it must be the pregnancy hormones (which my mom aptly calls "horror-mones") making me sappy.
Hermit cookies. These were Grandma's most favourite cookies - a New England classic that travelled up the the coast to infiltrate its Canadian neighbours. Google tells me that while the Canadian version features dates, its American counterpart is just raisins and nuts.
Add the dates, Americans! They're so luscious and chewy and sticky-sweet; a perfect addition to these lightly spiced gems.
The cookies are sweetened with just brown sugar - imparting an irresistible caramelly flavour and chewy texture that will have you reaching for a third, then maybe a fourth... which is not as terrible as you might think, because they're actually lighter than most cookies.
"Lighter" with air bunnies around it, that is - they're still cookies, they won't do sit-ups for you - but they do have 1/2 the amount of butter that many other types do...
They're jam packed with raisins, dates and walnuts, and scented with warm spices - but these are no spice cookie; the flavours are subtle.
Because they haven't got a lot of butter, it's really important to prep your baking sheets or they will stick - parchment paper is ideal: easiest removal, practically no cleanup, no need for extra fat. If you like to bake, I really recommend you keep parchment paper on hand. Otherwise, just grease 'em well!
The speculation surrounding the name "Hermit Cookies" is that you can tuck them away and they last a really long time. They also freeze beautifully, as uncooked dough balls that you can bake from frozen, or already baked.
The recipe is adapted from my grandma's Purity cookbook - it's a treasure, filled with old Canadian classics.
- Cook Time
- Prep Time
- 48Servings
- 1/2 cup butter, room temperature
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 3/4 cups all purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1/8 tsp allspice
- 1/8 tsp nutmeg
- 1 cup raisins
- 1 cup chopped dates
- 1 cup coarsely chopped walnuts or pecans
Preheat oven to 350 F.
In a standing mixer on medium speed, cream together butter and brown sugar. Add eggs and beat until mixture is pale and thick - about 2 minutes. Beat in vanilla.
Reduce mixer speed to low and beat in flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, allspice and nutmeg. Incorporate raisins, dates and nuts (depending on your mixer, you may have to do this part by hand with a wooden spoon).
Drop cookies by tablespoonfuls onto a well-greased or parchment-lined baking sheet, about 2 inches apart. Bake 10-12 minutes, until edges are set but centres still appear moist. Cool on baking sheet 2 minutes, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely.
Store in an airtight container (up to 10 days) or freeze on a flat surface then transfer to freezer bags to store up to 3 months. Thaw at room temperature for 15 minutes before serving.
Makes 4 dozen cookies.

Here's What 100 Years Of Black Men's Hair Trends Look Like
Hair and politics are always intertwined.
1. WatchCut Video just released the latest episode in their 100 Years of Beauty series, this time tackling black men's trends in the U.S.
Chris Chan, visual anthropologist at WatchCut, explains the research behind the looks in a separate video, which you can watch here.
2. "One thing we wanted to be really clear about in this video is that hair and politics are always intertwined," Chan explains in the video.
3. In the 1910s, most people wouldn't be caught dead leaving the house without a hat on.
"Part of being in a civil society is having a hat on in public," Chan explains in the video.
4. The '20s look was modeled after William J. Powell Jr., a pioneer in aviation and a civil rights activist.
5. The look from the 1930s was a strong part, inspired by Donald Sheffield Ferguson, the first black medical student at Kansas University.
"He fought tooth and nail to even get in the program and to even stay. To see in the '30s, even before what we think of as the civil rights movement, to have black folks who were working really hard to achieve advanced medical degrees," Chan explains.
6. The look from the '40s recognizes how many black men served in World War II.
7. Little Richard's conk hair was the inspiration for the '50s look.
"The conk is chemically processed hair, so we didn't formally do that to Lester, the model, but we tried to recreate it," Chan says. "In The Autobiography of Malcolm X, there is a chapter dedicated to him getting his first conk. He writes about how much he wanted to be white, and to have white hair, and adopt a white physiology, and yet the pain was so unbearable that it inaugurated for him a racial consciousness. About colonial mentality, about wanting to be white, about being a black body in a white world."
8. The inspiration for the black beret look in the '60s was Huey Newton, one of the founders of the Black Panther Party.
"The black beret is part of a global revolutionary tradition. It's a global signifier of revolutionary call to action," Chan explains.
9. "It's pretty amazing what we see in just half a century. Black men are disciplined into not having any hair at all. In fact even covering it, or chemically processing it," Chan says.
10. In the '70s, the picked-out Afro became prominent.
"To pick out your Afro and wear it so proudly completely resists those forms of discipline that have been on black bodies," Chan says.
11. For the '80s style, Jean-Michel Basquiat, an artist from New York and a black nationalist, was the inspiration.
"One thing this video can do is show a kind of history of the present, and when we see The Weeknd performing, we see a little bit of Basquiat's essence," says Chan.
12. The flat top — specifically, Will Smith's flat top — was the look for the '90s.
"Fresh Prince of Bel-Air was actually an interesting symbol. We have, in the case of Will Smith's character, this person trying to mediate middle-class existence coming from the inner city."
13. Big beautiful braids and facial hair typical of R&B celebrities were big in the 2000s.
14. In the present day, the look is a throwback reference to the flat top, but it's really about the fade and the verticality of the hair.
"Yet we also see plenty of white boys walking around with this sort of thing. Macklemore has this hair, too. It's interesting," says Chan. "In a century, we have white men going to black-owned barber shops to get their hair done because it's part of a longer Southern tradition. One thing 100 Years of Beauty has always tried to do is to show how the past informs the present."

Samsung Announces Next Generation Gear 2 Smartwatches, Drops "Galaxy" Branding

Samsung's new smartwatches boost battery life from 24 hours to up to three days
original Galaxy Gear
smartwatch wasn't exactly a hit on the market, but the company is looking to make a bigger splash with two next generation versions of the platform.
The first big change is the fact that the "Galaxy" branding has been dropped. The two smartwatches that Samsung is announcing instead will be called the Gear 2 and Gear 2 Neo. The rejection of the Galaxy branding explains the second big change: Android has been replaced by Samsung's home-brewed
Tizen operating system
Samsung hasn't exactly explained the differences users will see between Android and Tizen on the new Gear 2 smartwatches, but we'll likely see some further explanations closer to their April release date.
Samsung Gear 2
When it comes to hardware specs, the Gear 2 and Gear 2 Neo differ slightly. They both feature a 1.63" display, 1GHz dual-core processor with 512MB RAM, 4GB internal storage, 300 mAh battery, infrared support, S Voice, pedometer, and a heart rate monitor. Where things differ slightly is the fact that the Gear 2 features a 2MP camera built into the bezel, while the Gear 2 Neo forgoes the camera altogether.
In addition, the Gear weighs 68 grams whereas the Gear 2 Neo weighs 55 grams. They both, however, are lighter than the original Galaxy Gear, which weighs 74 grams. The Gear 2 will be available in Charcoal Black, Gold Brown and Wild Orange, while the Gear 2 Neo gets Charcoal Black, Mocha Grey and Wild Orange color options.
Samsung Gear 2 Neo
Even though the battery capacity has been reduced on the new smartwatches (300 mAh versus 315 mAh on the original) and a faster processor is in use (1GHz vs 800MHz on the original), battery life has improved dramatically. While the original was lucky to achieve "typical usage" of 24 hours, the Gear 2 and Gear 2 Neo are rated for 2 to 3 days.
Pricing for the two smartwatches isn't known at this time, but hopefully Samsung will
learn from its mistake of pricing the original at $299

Best comments
"Convenient good hotel"
Generally speaking the hotel has good facilities and it is located in a good area of the city, in my case just accross the offices of my job in Mexico City. However, there are some cleaning details that they should take care of.
"Comfortable modern hotel in pleasant area"
This is a very clean, comfortable hotel with good facilities, helpful staff and an excellent buffet breakfast, located in a neighbourhood with many nice restaurants. It is four blocks from a metro station. If you want a taxi in the post-breakfast rush, order it well in advance, or you will have to wait.
"Lovely Hotel But Prepare to be COLD"
After spending three days in Centro Historico where no one speaks English, it was a fantastic change to check in at this lovely business-class hotel with bi-lingual employees available. The rooms themselves are spacious, well-appointed in a modern style, with a coffee maker and large-screen TV. The bedding is DIVINE -- great mattress and pillows. The shower is HUGE and pretty, with plenty of hot water except in the 8 - 9 AM time frame when everyone is using it. I found the hotel restaurant fairly bland after having eaten wonderful Mexican street food for the previous few days. That said, the breakfast buffet is unbeatable, which a huge variety of dishes including American and Mexican favorites. For lunch or dinner, there are some great restaurants within the block. I really liked the steakhouse and Saks. Last note: Mexican hotels in general seem to be cold at certain times of the year, and this one is no exception. There are no heat controls in the room, and the average room temperature was between 60 - 65 degrees, never warmer. It is too cold to spend any time in your room, and can make it difficult to sleep (one night, despite plenty of layers and blankets, I could not stop shivering). I tried to find another hotel that would be warmer but discovered that unheated hotels are the norm in CDMX. Just be prepared. I would not visit the city between December and February because of it, and March was iffy.
"Amazing stay!"
Everything was clean and ready. The staff were all very pleasant and helpful. Best of all almost every day we received a little snack in our room! you dont see that anymore. AND I even received my very own personalized wine bottle! LOVE IT!!
"Business class hotel with good service"
A good business hotel in a convenient location, with standard services very good will from management, but small details that spoil the experience for a long-stay. Whereas room faciliites, breakfast, reception and gym are at the level, after a one week of stay, the cleaning of the room decayed day after day (including 3 days with no towels), the cleaning of the gym floor and facilities was also not tip top, and the fact that the reception could not print a final bill on time was a little bit of a put-off. I received an apology from management, hope they make up better for everybody!

Key Terms – Causes of World War I
Pan-Slavism Pan-Germanism Arms Race Dual Alliance Triple Alliance Central Powers Triple Entente Allied Powers Archduke Franz Ferdinand Black Hand
Background Geographical factors had fostered important movements within Europe. These factors served as long-term causes of World War I: Imperialism Nationalism Militarism Entangling Alliances International Anarchy
Imperialism and Nationalism
Tensions grew from imperialism that were nationalistic by nature. Countries believed that they were superior to others which gave them the right to rule over territories outside of their own borders. Examples include: Russia and Austria-Hungary competing for control of the Balkans as Russia sought warm-water ports. Germany and France fighting over control of Morocco in Northern Africa Russia and Japan competing over control of Korea
Pan-Slavism and Pan-Germanism
Nationalism gave rise to two movements, Pan- Slavism and Pan-Germanism. Pan-Slavism → people who belonged to this movement believed that it was Russia's right and duty to protect Slavic peoples anywhere in Europe. Pan-Germanism → people who sought the protection of all German-speaking people within Europe. Therefore, Russia took the side of Serbia as they were protecting Slavic peoples there and Germany backed Austria-Hungary due to their German roots.
Militarism Militarism → policy of building up a country's navies and armies in preparation for future warfare. Countries believed that having a large military force gave them more power and allowed them to solve any problems with military force. This gave rise to more military control within countries and the need to compete against one another to build the largest armies → also known as an arms race. Many countries began to attempt to rival the power of the British and began to build in earnest more and more ships and hire more and more troops.
Entangling Alliances The tensions and fear created by imperialism, nationalism and militarism led to the creation of entangling alliances. Pan-Germanism led to the creation of the Dual Alliance → union of Austria-Hungary and Germany; this would later become the Triple Alliance with the inclusion of Italy. Bulgaria and the Ottoman Empire would join the Triple Alliance creating the Central Powers As Germany's militarism grew, the other European powers merged forming the Triple Entente → union of England, France, and Russia. As other nations joined (Japan), the Triple Entente became the Allied Powers These alliances made war significantly more likely.
Alliances During World War I
The Assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand
The immediate cause of World War I was the assassination of the heir to the Austrian throne, Archduke Franz Ferdinand on June 28, 1914. Issues between Serbs and South Slavs led to actions taken by the South Slavs which included the assassination. A nationalist group known as the Black Hand was responsible.
Declaration of War Austria-Hungary demanded the removal of the Serbian government officials who opposed Austria-Hungary which Serbia would reject. As a result, Germany, who had formed an alliance with Austria-Hungary backed them when they declared war on Serbia on July 28, 1914. The Entangling Alliances would take effect: Russia came to the aid of Serbia due to Pan-Slavism Germany declared war on Russia and France. The German movement through neutral Belgium prompted Britain to declare war on Germany. Italy remained neutral until 1915, then joined the Allied Powers.

No service. Long walk and hike up stairs to room. No food options after hours. And more like a 15 min walk to the beach (maybe 8 min from entrance, but then another 5-10 min walk to your room). Note that when you stay in the apartments, which we did, the service is and location is different. Much longer walk and no breakfast. Place is good if staying a while, you want space and a kitchen for family. But we were only there for a few days, came in late, and needed to feed the kids.
The location and design of the facilities are perfect. It's a beautiful resort, the restaurant is the best in that area, and the eco-friendly design is timeless. That said, the room interiors are dated, amenities are very limited, and staff are only available for limited times as well.
This hotel was in a secluded little town surrounded by lovely greenery with a cute little beach nearby. I was floored with how expansive the property was and the infinity pool was gorgeous. The hotel side with the rooms were very clean and modern. They were not too small and I loved that the bathroom had a bath. The staff was very friendly and accomodating to our many demands. The restaurant on the grounds was cosy and quaint with delicious sea food. I recommend the fish soup and Elba Doc wine! If you do stay here though, I recommend bringing your car on to the ferry or rent a car. It is the best way to get around the island and visit the bigger towns like Portoferraio.
We got a last minute offer for around 85$ a night. It was totally worth it. Very clean. The pool is amazing. Remote place. Naima at the front desk was very helpful and speaks italian, english and french!! Only thing we did not like so much was how firm the bed was. Except that, very nice stay. 5 minute walk from beach. We recommend if you can get a good price.
Gorgious grounds and pool. We were drove up and we're so excited until we entered the unit. It's more like camping in a cabin than a hotel. Very old everything. I'd say it's about a 1 to 2 star. The patio has a nice valley view which was great to eat meals. The nearby beach was rocky which was also a disappointment however it was very calm which was good for my toddler to play.
