Recommendations for boosting the competitiveness of manufacturing in Newark are the subject of a 60-page Brookings Institution report unveiled this morning by Mayor Cory Booker, local officials and businesses.
The report said Newark's nearly 400 manufacturers are mostly small businesses, with some adapting well to economic change while others struggle.
The report advances five major goals — accelerating innovation, promoting sustainable supply chains, connecting manufacturers to new market opportunities, creating a 21st-century manufacturing work force and linking the city's physical transformation with economic transformation.
Among the strategies proposed to make those goals a reality: Connecting Newark manufacturers to networks that promote competitive supply chains, boosting the city's visibility as a port city and logistics hub, and targeting the redevelopment of vacant industrial land for light manufacturing.
The report is the culmination of the first year of the Newark Manufacturing Initiative and its collaboration with the Brookings Metropolitan Policy Program. According to the report, Newark's key assets — location, density, scale and diversity — "have the power to support new product development, expansion into new markets, and to create more and better-paying career pathways in Newark and its region," the report said.
But the city's manufacturers also face challenges that undermine its competitiveness. While the region's infrastructure enables commerce with a larger market, "small and midsized companies in Newark lack sufficient support to take advantage of them," the report found. And Newark "struggles with a manufacturing skills gap that hampers its ability to respond to existing and future market demand."
The report urges "Newark stakeholders to implement strategies to address the challenges facing the manufacturing sector, and to capitalize on assets and opportunities that can help small and midsized suppliers compete."
Joining Booker at a press conference this morning to release the report were Mitch Cahn, president of the Newark apparel maker Unionwear; Joel Bloom, president of the New Jersey Institute of Technology; and Preston Pinkett III, chief executive of City National Bank.

The Chronicle of Philanthropy has to be your first stop for the latest news about the nonprofit world. The Chronicle has served up news, fresh ideas, commentary, and resources for more than two decades.

If you work for a nonprofit, it's likely that your organization subscribes to the Chronicle. If not, they should. Subscriptions can be print (monthly) or electronic.

Subscriptions are pricey (over $80 for one year), but if you subscribe to either version of the Chronicle, you have access to the website as well.

The site is rich in resources, with archives, latest articles, job postings and a trove of special how-to content. The Chronicle also sponsors webinars (additional fees apply)

Non-subscribers may browse some of the website content for free and sign up for the Chronicle's daily free email newsletter, "Philanthropy Today."

It's challenging to stay up with the nonprofit world without "The Chronicle of Philanthropy."

The NPQ is a good place to turn for the in-depth discussion of critical issues facing the nonprofit community. Very research based, the longer publication cycle allows for editorial review and more detail on any given issue.

The NPQ has been around for more than 15 years and comes from an independent nonprofit news organization. It covers a broad range of questions, from current events to public policy. NPQ should be on any nonprofit manager's to-read pile.

The NPQ doesn't mind being disruptive, often airing opinions about the most pressing issues facing nonprofits. It is accessible and makes for excellent reading.

The annual subscription of $59 per year (Canadian is higher) gets you both print and digital versions.

Non-subscribers can see the day's news on the NPQ website and subscribe to two free newsletters: "The Newswire," which is a daily digest of news; and the "Editor's Notes," that is a weekly message from the Editor.

The NonProfit Times takes a "business" approach to the nonprofit world. You can subscribe to the print or digital versions or both for as little as $20. There is also a blog and tons of content right at the website.

This publication, published 17 times a year, prides itself on being on top of nonprofit news and issues. It also features content by some of the foremost nonprofit experts.

You can find job postings on the site, and it is famous for its reports, such as its annual salaries and benefits reports. These cost quite a lot ($185-$250), but you can get a national report or one tailored to your state.

Summaries of the reports cost much less ($14-$15). Plus, when reports come out, the newspaper publishes articles highlighting their main features.

The best way to keep up with the Times is through its free emailed newsletter and, because it is so fast moving, through social media, especially Twitter.

The NonProfit Times also publishes a free print magazine called Exempt. It focuses on financial issues crucial to the management of nonprofits.

The Stanford Social Innovation Review is an outstanding publication from the Stanford Center on Philanthropy and Civil Society at Stanford University.

The magazine covers a broad range of nonprofit issues from a global perspective. If you or your nonprofit has an international focus, you should be reading this publication. But it is useful for just about anyone working in the philanthropic or nonprofit world.

SSIR has a distinctly academic flavor with an overlay of business school language that can be a bit dense.

But the content is sound, backed by research, and will likely stretch your vocabulary and thinking. If you are interested or involved in impact investing or social entrepreneurship, this publication is a must.

A one-year all-access subscription to the SSIR ($55 US and Canada) gives you the print version (quarterly) and the digital. For subscribers, there is an archive of past issues, podcasts, events, and webinars.

Non-subscribers may sign up for a free weekly emailed newsletter and browse the website for the considerable number of open access articles and blog posts.

Two things I like about the Grassroots Fundraising Journal are that it's all about fundraising and it is so suitable for smaller nonprofits.

The Journal is published by the Grassroots Institute for Fundraising Training. Consequently, the Journal has some of the best ideas for development professionals in smaller organizations, especially social justice nonprofits.

It's hard to find material specifically tailored to smaller organizations, so this publication really fills the bill. It comes out six times a year and is quite affordable. In fact, the Journal has a sliding fee system so that the size of your nonprofit determines the subscription fee.

The Journal can also be found at your public library and the Foundation Center's Cooperating Collections around the US.

Subscribers have full access to the archives of the Journal, which is perfect for research.

Nonsubscribers can sign up for a free emailed newsletter.

Published by the Society for Nonprofits, Nonprofit World Magazine is published quarterly in print. You get the magazine when you join the Society for $79 plus a whole lot of other benefits.

The Society and magazine focus on leadership and nonprofit management issues. You can see a PDF version of an older issue of the magazine to determine if it would be useful to you.

If you must deal with insurance, decision making, strategy, fundraising or technology, the magazine may be quite worthwhile.

The Society for Nonprofits offers a lot of benefits to members including training, free job listings, and discounted services and products such as insurance.

Advancing Philanthropy is a print and digital magazine published by the AFP (Association of Fundraising Professionals).

If you are involved in fundraising, you should belong to the AFP. There are local chapters just about everywhere that meet monthly. Plus, the association holds a national meeting once a year.

Advancing Philanthropy comes out five times a year and is free to the highest level members of AFP. The digital version goes automatically to Collegiate, Global, Young Professional and Small Organizational members. If you are not a member of AFP, you can still subscribe to the magazine for about $100 annually.

Alliance is a London-based publication, but it is international in scope. It covers philanthropy and social investment. Subscribers can elect the printed version (yes, they do ship to the US) or the electronic version.

There is an app for phones and tablets. The magazine is published quarterly. Subscribers can pay in various currency, including the US dollar.

Alliance is free to certain people working in the nonprofit field in some countries. You can apply for this on the subscription page.

Alliance covers the globe with an emphasis on economic issues as they pertain to social entrepreneurship, international development and philanthropy.

The magazine focuses on issues more than "how-to" information. If your work involves any of these areas, Alliance may be an excellent addition to your library of publications. To sample Alliance, subscribe to its free newsletter or follow its blog

Although the National Council of Nonprofits does not produce a magazine, I would be remiss if I did not include it on this list.

That's because the Council is such a valuable resource. Every state has an association for nonprofits that is affiliated with the national council. You can locate yours with this Map at the National Council's website.

For instance, in Arizona, the affiliate organization is the Alliance of Arizona Nonprofits. In Maryland, it is Maryland Nonprofits. All nonprofit professionals should join their local nonprofit association. These are usually organizational memberships, so check with your nonprofit first.

These affiliates of the national organization have information about your state government, available grants, training on grantsmanship, and more. Each of them sends out emailed newsletters and bulletins.

To keep up with national nonprofit issues, you can subscribe to the National Council's two newsletters. One deals with advocacy, and the other has a fundraising focus. You can sign up for both very quickly. There is also a job board and many resources.

If you want to stay up with the best nonprofit advice from the best-informed consultants, NonProfitPro should be on your "check frequently" list.

The website alone is a trove of articles, continuously updated, on all aspects of nonprofit management. But this site's strength is fundraising.

Some of the content at NonProfitPro is original, by staff writers, but much comes from the leading professionals in the field. In fact, if you can write great content about nonprofit issues, this site should be on your list of places to send your guest articles.

You can also subscribe to a 10-month print magazine that has in depth articles on the latest trends, controversies, and research that nonprofit pros need to know about. Don't miss the many webinars, conferences, and video content that NonProfitPro provides for reasonable prices or even for free.

Henry's Demons : Living with Schizophrenia, a Father and Son's Story Paperback
by Patrick Cockburn, Henry Cockburn
On a cold February day two months after his 20th birthday, Henry waded into the lethally cold Newhaven estuary and almost drowned.
The trees, he said, had told him to do it. In Afghanistan, Patrick learned that Henry had been admitted to a hospital mental ward.
Ten days later he was diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia.
With remarkable candour, Patrick writes of the seven years Henry has since spent almost entirely in mental hospitals.
Schizophrenics are at high risk for suicide, and his parents live in constant fear for Henry's life.
The book also includes Henry's own account of his experiences.
In these raw and eerily beautiful chapters he tells of his visions and voices, the sense that he has discovered something magical and profound.
Together, Patrick and Henry's stories create one of the most nuanced and revealing portraits of mental illness ever written, and a stirring memoir of family, parenthood, and courage.

Review by polarbear123
An interesting read this one, if not wholly satisfying. I found it hard to like Henry Cockburn contrary to all those that seem to meet him in the book. His hallucinations combined a lot with popular culture which to me makes him come across as a bit of an annoying attention seeker. Yes I know that he is suffering from a mental disorder but then again so am I and so are thousands of people so I have a right to criticise. On the other hand I did find his story compelling and it was well worth a read. It just didn't give me the answers I wanted.

Kale Chips for Kids!
Kim Gerber came up with her own easy recipe for the snack time phenom, kale chips. With just a few ingredients (and some ingenious maneuvering), Kim found a super-tasty way to get the leafy power green into her kids' diet.
Kale has always been a challenging vegetable for kids to eat, let alone like. I'll be honest, Kale wasn't even on my radar for years. Now I see piles of different varieties of this beautiful vegetable at the farmers market and my fingers itch to bring them all home to my family. There is Tuscan Kale (also known as Dinosaur Kale or Cavolo Nero), Curly Kale and even a variety with vibrant purple edges.
But—my kids wouldn't touch Kale with a ten-foot pole. Enter the "Kale Chip". Once I decided to bake the Kale and call it "Olive Oil Crisps" (the first key to our kid-friendly Kale introduction) – our lives around Kale changed forever. Presenting a large bowl full of the delicate "Crisps" to hungry kids before dinner was also helpful. I watched as they tentatively picked up a crisp, eyed it skeptically and slowly placed it in their mouth. Then I left the room and watched from afar (the final key to successful Kale acceptance). Thinking I was no longer paying attention, they polished off the entire bowl, apparently enjoying every bite.
Without much fanfare, I later mentioned that the olive oil crisps were made with Kale. The hard part was over. They tried them – and liked them – so hearing the term "Kale" didn't phase them. The next time, I simply called them Kale Crisps – and the rest is history.

Odunacam: The Epic Hidden Comic Strips from Liniers
Yesterday, the popular Argentinian comic artist, Ricardo Siri Liniers, started publishing some rather "different" comic strips he made for the Spanish magazine, Mongolia, on his official Facebook account.
Update (July 2nd): this week the author has blessed us with 4 new irredeemable strips which I've placed at the end of this post.
"Odunacam" is the name the author has used to collect these strips which stand very far from the normal work he produces. Bulimia, suicide and road kill is just some of the subject matter touched on these pieces that Liniers defines as "the Anti-christ of Macanudo". Check it:
More than anything it's about dark humor with characters straight out of some of your favorite comics and kids films. I don't know what's the content of Mongolia magazine, but it must be for a ver open-minded public, although you probably already know that if you're a fan of Liniers' work.
Liniers has been publishing consistently on Facebook for over a year and I wouldn't be surprised if there were more awesome comics like these on the way. I love that the concept is so bizarre the author even signed the strips backwards.
Here are four new strips the author revealed this week:

|Out Growers
Better Globe Forestry (BGF) has developed a model to encourage farmers to become out growers in the buffer zones around its plantations. The company started an interesting out growers experiment in the buffer zone of Sosoma.
In a pilot project, BGF assists farmers in Nguni Division (Mwingi East District) to establish mukau (Melia volkensii) woodlots. The people in the area appreciate mukau for the quality of its wood and for its fast growth. By the end of the three-year trial project, 150 hectares will be established with 100 farmers as beneficiaries.
These farmers are recruited from the community around Mboti Primary School in Mbuvu Location, Nguni Division of East Mwingi District. However, since no permanent source of water is available in the area, which is semi-arid, a borehole was drilled to supply water for both the community (and its livestock), the school and the tree nursery. Community members formed a water users' association (WUA) to act as the local water service supplier that would run the borehole and sell the water. Unfortunately, the borehole was dry. However, other alternatives for water are being explored.
The tree-growers become members of a micro finance institution (K-Rep Financial Services), established with the support of BGF for creating a virtuous cycle of tree-growing.
The cost of a one-hectare woodlot works out as follows:
The grant is in kind, not in cash. The 1/3 payment for the micro-finance institution has to be reinvested in further woodlot establishment. The farmer agrees to sell the future logs exclusively to BGF through a contract that guarantees a market at a fair and competitive price.
BGF employs a forest technician to ensure adequate follow-up not only of establishment but also of maintenance of the woodlots. The tree-planting is accompanied by sowing of a short-term cash crop, green grams, to assist the farmer secure immediate and continuous income until the tree sales can start.
Training on tree-planting and maintenance, management of the outgrowers' SACCO and the WUA is an essential component of this project.
Correct pricing of water will be critical for the success of the project.

Their debut album, the prophetically named Revival release by Mai Music, has sold in excess of 45,000 copies with Giddy Up being the biggest selling single of 2003. 2004's follow up, Slow Burning, was similarly well received, selling 20,000 copies in the first week of release.
The acclaim has not just been in New Zealand though: two tours to Hawaii in 2006 have resulted in sales of 14,000 copies of Revival, and Slow Burning was released there in March 2007. A promotional campaign in the UK last year also garnered amazing feedback from Don Letts (Acclaimed documentary maker and Clash tour DJ) and David Katz (Music journalist) amongst others, and radio plays from Steve Barker (BBC), Charlie Gillet (BBC) and, most importantly, David Rodigan (Kiss FM and others), who highly rates their orthodox approach.
Katchafire are one of the hardest working bands in New Zealand. As well as opening shows for the likes of Damien Marley, Michael Franti and Spearhead, they have played gigs all across the country (three in one day on Waitangi Day 2004, in Hamilton, Manukau and Nelson!), undertaken four tours of Australia, and in November 2004, they headlined a stadium-filling show in Fiji. In March 2005 all their dreams came true when they supported the original Wailers in Auckland. 2006 was their busiest year yet: two tours of Hawaii plus their debut tours of England, Ireland and the west coast of America.
2007 saw the band with a busy international calendar taking the stage in places such as; Roskilde in Denmark, Rototomsplash in Italy, SummerJam in Germany, Larmer Tree and Rhythms of the World in England. They also returned to Hawaii playing at the Big Birthday Bash in Waikiki, Australia, Guam, Japan and Tahiti.
The band have had sustained domestic exposure; doing gigs for corporates such as Air New Zealand, Vodafone Warriors, and festivals such as Soundsplash, Rhythm and Vines and World Waka Ama Championships. They also continue to work PR opportunities having recently featured in TV3 News on their latest trip to London and also gracing the cover of the latest NZ Musician Magazine, with a three page article covering the band. The band continues to uphold its reputation as one of NZ's hardest working bands.
They release their fourth album, "On the Road Again," in 2010.

Official – 2014 Mercedes E 63 AMG to be launched in India on July 25
Nithyanandh K, As a toddler, those wheeled machinery fascinated me even before I knew what they're called as! So here I'm, petrolhead by birth, Mechanical engineer by qualification and automotive reporter by profession!
The 2014 Mercedes E 63 AMG will be launched in India on July 25.
On the sidelines of the Mercedes B Class diesel launch, Mr. Eberhard Kern, Managing Director, Mercedes-Benz India confirmed to IndianAutosBlog.com that the performance saloon is indeed coming our way on the aforementioned date.
Mercedes is on a product offensive having launched the new GL Class, A Class, 2014 E Class and B Class diesel in quick succession. The momentum will be maintained with the launch of the new E 63 AMG.
Powered by a 5.5 litre turbocharged V8, the E 63 AMG is available in two variants internationally – AMG and AMG S. The standard AMG version puts out 557bhp and 720 Nm of torque. The S version is capable of 585 bhp and 800 Nm of torque. The former gets to 100kph from rest in 4.2 seconds while the latter manages a time of 3.6 seconds!
Both cars bank on Mercedes' 4MATIC all wheel drive system to get the dynamics right. Overall, the E is vested with enough badness to take on the BMW M5 and the Audi S6 which will be launched tomorrow!
[Can't view the video above? Head over to Youtube]
The performance saloon segment in India is still very small but the German car makers make very good use of it as brand shapers.
Helped by new launches, Mercedes India saw its sales grow by an impressive 32% in the second quarter of this year. The car maker is bullish about the second half of 2013 and says there is lot more to exciting products to come!

Removed part of the following You can take a train from the main station (Hlavní nádraží) in Prague to Karlštejn. Trains run every hour starting at 6:25 in the morning (6:25, 7:25, 8:25, ...) For groups of 3 or larger the cost for a return ticket is 30kč per person.
Some of the above no longer applies.
Best regards
Geographical hierarchy[edit]
I am still not sure how to deal with that correctly on Wikitravel. For example, this article is little strange. Karlštejn is a small city (market-city) with the famous castle of the same name and some heavy tourist industry (over-priced restaurants, pensions, some commercial museums). It is very often targeted by tourists as a daytrip from Prague (by train, or probably more often, as an over-priced organized trip by bus as sold via tourist-agencies operating in Prague tourist trap areas). Svatý Jan pod Skalou is a different place, also interesting, less known, not part of the Karlštejn itself. And there are many other interesting places in the area (Tetín for example). In fact, the area around Karlštějn is a "national park" (not exactly, real "national parks" as defined by law in the Czech republic have higher level of protection, but this is probably not important for Wikitravel, this place is "protected landscape area") Český kras. This area should probably have an article according to the "national park" template, listing all attractions there. like Karlštejn, Svatý Jan, Tetín, Americas... and so on. An article useful for someone hiking in the area.
Now, if such an article is created, should all information about the city of Karlstejn be in that article, or should Karlstejn have its own article (can cities be in parks, in Wikitravel hierrarchy?). An independent article would probably be useful for people wanting to visit Karlstejn only (as many tourists do), without any hiking in the area.
I see three solutions:
There will be a similar problem with many areas in the Czech Republic. There are many important or interesting attractions that are either standing alone in the country or are part of some really small villages or towns (often with no commercial accommodation). And listing them all under some arbitrary larger cities nearby is confusing. Should the "national park" templates be used in such situations? Kyknos 14:13, 4 May 2009 (EDT)

An excerpt from www.HouseOfNames.com archives copyright © 2000 - 2017
Tuscany, including the notable surname Digaeta. During the Middle Ages, as populations grew and travel between regions became more frequent, the people of Tuscany, who were originally known only by a single name, found it necessary to adopt a second name to identify themselves and their families. This process of adopting fixed hereditary surnames in Italy began in the 10th and 11th centuries, but it was not completed until the modern era. The development of Italian hereditary surnames followed general principles and were characterized by derivatives from one's given name. The patronymic surname, which is derived from the father's given name, was one of the most common name types found in the region of Tuscany. This system of name-making was widely used because it linked well with the existing Feudal System and during the Christian era, many people named their children after saints and biblical figures. The surname Digaeta came from the medieval given name Gaetano, which was originally a name from Caieta in Latium. According to tradition, the town was named after the elderly nurse of Aeneas, who died after fleeing with him from the ruins of Troy.
Digaeta Early Origins
Tuscany (Italian: Toscana), a region in central Italy.
Digaeta Spelling Variations
Digaeta Spelling Variations
Italian surnames come in far more variations than the names of most other nationalities. Regional traditions and dialects are a decisive factor in this characteristic. For example, northern names tend to end in "o", while southern in "i". Also important, but not unique to Italy, was the fact that before dictionaries and the printing press most scribes simply spelled words according to their sounds. The predictable result was an enormous number of spelling variations. The recorded spellings of Digaeta include Gaeta, Gaita, De Gaita, Di Gaeta, Gaetani, Di Gaetano, Gaetano and many more.

I stand still without movement, just gazing, mesmerised by the phenomena below me. My arms, legs and face getting scorched from the intense heat rising up from beneath. "The gateway to hell" locals call it. Magma bubbling and spitting up all around me with the rubber of my shoes slowly melting. Where am I? …I'm standing at one of the world's most bizarre, dangerous, rare and impressive sights this planet has to offer. I'm staring down into the heart of Erta Ale, a magma pit bubbling straight from the Earth's core, located deep in the Afar Depression, northern Ethiopia, straddling the border of Eritrea. This desolate region in north east Africa is dubbed "the cruelest place on earth" by National Geographic, and it holds the hottest average temperature on the entire planet.
The journey here, in a way, started much earlier, when we were travelling throughout northern India. We were soon to be catching a plane to Kenya, so we thought we'd make an east Africa guide book purchase, to get some ideas and gain the feel for our next chapter of the journey. This is when we read about a lava pit in western DRC. One of the very few on the planet. We HAD to go! But, by the time we were heading east across Tanzania towards Rwanda, we discovered that the west of the Congo had been overtaken by rebels, and any hope of entering was utterly shut off. We were devastated!
Unbeknown to us at the time, we happened to be heading in the path of another (uncannily, as there's only a few on the planet), but we had not heard about it until we entered Ethiopia. Ethiopia is one of those places that remains as an enigma until you unveil it by travelling there. When we found out that we had a second chance, we jumped on it. But it came with quite a risk. It was straddling the border of Eritrea, and previous visits had resulted in kidnappings and executions. A decision that shouldn't be taken lightly.
Relaxing by the waters of Bahir Dar, a fascinating town that rests on the southern shores of Lake Tana in west Ethiopia, a local man was boasting that he could organise anything for anyone, via his 'connections'. So I decided to put him to the test, and asked him about Erta Ale and whether it was possible to get my wife and I there safely, or not. That evening, after many phone calls, he caught up to me and gave me some good news. He had a contact in northern Ethiopia that had also had a special request from a couple of backpackers about getting there. Banding together over a few emails, we decided to give it ago. The price was …ALOT! The deal was that in addition to the normal expenses, we had to hire our own personal army of a dozen Militia. These guys were to protect us from any Eritrean rebels that may come across the border.
Hitchhiking across Ethiopia for two days with a stranger we met on the side of the road, arrived us at our taking off point. This is where we met the rest of the backpackers that were also in for the adventure. With a day of preparation to get supplies and ready ourselves for the four day journey into the desolate, we were ready to rock and roll! So off we went, along with about 50 litres of water in each 4WD for the onslaught of heat we're about to encounter.
After we came down from the mountains in Ethiopia, we travelled from a cool and wet environment straight into a dry barren one. The mountains were bare, but enchanting. Few villages are beyond the mountain range due to environmental conditions, but the ones that we found were very segregated. We stopped off at a few of these villages for a couple of hours at a time to organise permits from the military in order to pass. This gave us an opportunity to explore some of the remote areas. Though, keeping mindful that venturing too far away from the 4WD was a little dangerous, as things were different out there. One thing that was common all over Ethiopia though, was that the kids flocked from everywhere to see us. Word of the strange foreigners must travel like wildfire. Within minutes of our arrival, there were 40 or so surrounding us, staring intently with those big curious eyes.
Following several hours, mountains, and canyons later, we flattened out and began to traverse the desolate. Though, what I'd normally classify as "desolate" we surpassed a while back. I don't have a word for this! We left the dirt road we'd been travelling on and headed completely off road, passing through and over solidified magma that had covered this entire region a few years back when Erta Ale erupted. We've now left Earth! So, after thirty minutes of being thrown around in the back of the 4WD from negotiating the terrain of magma, I was happy to hit an open expanse of desert. We sped along at high speed through what I can only describe as "nothingness". An open plain of 360 degrees, consisting flat soil to the horizon. Every 50-60 minutes or so we passed a few wooden stick huts, where the dozen or so occupants threw rocks and sticks at our 4WD as it sped past. These occupants were to be avoided at all cost, apparently. Castaways living a voluntary exiled and minimalist life, away from a society they shun.
Finally arriving at a very small settlement of tin sheds and mud brick houses that were wedged in between some of the only vegetation for hundreds of miles, this was our sort after militia outpost we'd been searching for over the last several days. Things were different out here and not quite what I expected. Friendliness didn't seem to come quite so easy, and the locals weren't quite the same as to what we'd been used to. Every one of us began to get the feeling that we weren't too welcome. Indeed, by warnings from our driver (who was negotiating the hiring of a small army of malicia at the time) told us to stay together and close to the cars while they sort permission to cross through the region.
After nearly an hour of discussions, they decided to let us pass. We were back in business! So with our new addition of two 4WD loads of armed militia for protection, we barrelled on through the desolate once again. Bizarrely, this area is actually prone to flash flooding at a certain time a year and is a death sentence if one was to occur while there. We pushed on as the sun set over the desert and arrived at one of the cast away settlements as night fell. Out here the language is completely different, and only spoken by several hundred people in the local area. The militia tried to bargain and pay for the use of some camels, but the locals wouldn't have a bar of it. Along with us, the militia are also shunned out here. In the past there have been violent attacks against foreigners from these settlements, some from teenagers following violent tribal traditions of passing into manhood. Lucky for us though, we have a dozen guys with AK47′s that tend to be good at keeping any potential violence at bay.
Back onto the magma, we bounced and jumped our way (even more viciously this time – my head took a beating!) across the alien landscape for an hour or two until we reached a bunch of abandoned stick huts, our camp for the night. At this point, it was pitch black and we were all quite hungry, and not to mention worn out from the long drive. But our night was FAR from over. In fact, it hadn't even began! Slowly readying ourselves, our drivers cooked some of that amazing Ethiopian food to energise us for the upcoming hike to Erta Ale. With the excitement of what we were about to see, mixed in with the danger of potential rebels lurking in the dark, everyone was very much on edge!
Important Disclaimer!
There have been quite a few incidents of significant violence against tourists in this location, many ending quite tragically. It's extremely important people do their own research into the current situation and safety risks which are relevant to the time of their potential travel/exploration. Safety considerations also need to be placed on season, as tour operators cease bookings during the floods. This is to be taken as a serious and life threatening occurrence. I can not stress enough how much consideration people need to place in upholding their own safety.
Bellies full, backpacks loaded, we were ready! Off we trekked into the surrounding darkness, but behind our private army that ventured into the void 20 minutes earlier to scope the area out first. Staring down at the only circular piece of earth that was lit from my head torch, we marched on and up through the most insane environment consisting of solidified magma chambers created from the previous eruption. The ground was hollow and unpredictable. You never quite knew whether what you were standing on was solid, or whether it was to collapse beneath your feet. This place was void of nearly all life; no trees, no animals, only the odd shrub growing in between volcanic cracks. It was like something straight out of a sci-fi movie. Three and a half hours it took for us to get to the top of the crater, and absolute torture making the climb in the intense heat with a risk of dehydration. Eventually a red glow filled the sky in front of us, as we were nearly there. Scampering down the side of a cliff into a basin, we made the last 100m dash to the epicentre of it all and peered into the abyss.
Everything was for this moment – we were here! Churning, bubbling and spitting, the magma rumbled and glowed a bright red in the middle of the night. The intense heat scorned our faces, but I couldn't turn away. This was too surreal! I couldn't help but just stand and stare down, utterly mesmerised. The gigantic hole was filled with red hot boiling metal, flowing from one side to the other. Lava constantly spitting out and landing randomly around the rim of the volcano. Sometimes right where we were standing. Incredible! And without pun, this was possibly the coolest thing I'd ever seen. Even though they were warm, carrying a couple of beers up to celebrate was the best idea we had!
After spending the night at the volcano, void of sleep, dawn slowly made its move forward. Along with our hired guns, we slowly made our way back down the precarious landscape and all collapsed in exhaustion inside a stick hutt we had left from. What an absolute crazy and unique experience this was! I've travelled quite a bit over the years, but never before have I done anything remotely like this.
Photographing Erta Ale
Conditions here are intense, and travelling light is the best advice I can give. For the journey there, you'll want something fast with a bit of zoom to shoot the landscapes from the moving 4WD (say a 50mm – 100mm prime). Once you reach your destination though, the last thing you're going to want to do is hike up to that volcano with heavy gear. So as I said before, travel light. When you arrive up at the volcano, shooting ultra-wide to wide is going to be your pick. A tripod is also a must due to the harsh lighting conditions – it's hard to photograph a more extreme environment. When you do take those long exposures, try not to face your lens at the lava for too long, as the heat intensity is incredible and could start to melt or damage parts of your camera. Try not to touch the ground as much as possible, as the dried magma can be razor sharp, and you'll spend ages trying to get the metal "splinters" out (believe me, I know).
Most importantly: Getting close is great, but also very dangerous! Keep a constant look out for spitting lava that jumps up and out from below and lands where you're standing. The last thing you're going to want is to be hit by a clump of 1,200 degree molten metal!

Three CEO David Dyson has accused Ofcom of using a 'flawed' method to draw up its 4G auction proposals and urged the regulator to reconsider its 'irrational' decision to remove the sub-1GHz guarantee.
Dyson outlined Three's first public response to Ofcom's consultation on the 4G auction, which closed last week. Among the changes the regulator had made was removing the safeguard of sub-1GHz spectrum for a fourth operator.
While Ofcom has argued that higher frequency spectrum, such as the 1800MHz chunk available, could suffice for a 4G offer, Dyson said its own findings disagreed. He said: 'Ofcom did appear to have a solid opinion about the advantages of lower frequency spectrum but now they have changed that view. Our view is the technical modelling that formed the basis of Ofcom's proposals is flawed.'
He added: 'As a consumer, and not the CEO of a mobile operator, my clear request to Ofcom is to reconsider their technical analysis and position on low frequency spectrum, and reconclude on a solution that more closely follows every other regulators in Europe.
'As a CEO of a mobile operator, the conclusion to the contrary would be irrational, questionable and unnecessarily risks future competition in the UK mobile market.'
While reports suggested Dyson could threaten legal action if Ofcom's auction rules, due to be published this summer, do not go its way, he did not do so today. However, he refused to rule out the possibility, telling delegates at the Future of Mobile 2012 Westminster eForum 'we will have to see how Ofcom will respond'.

"John said they were excellent."
Review for Town & Country Toyota Body Shop
Bruce D. on 11/30/2012
Spoke with Linda. She said Jerry, the man that helped her was very exceptional and very reassuring because she had the accident in the hospital parking lot. She said she had broken her wrist and so she asked if they would wash her windshield inside and out because she could not use her hand. They did a wonderful job and they detailed her vehicle nicely.

Summary of the DrKW and Teva Case discussions
We began the week by stating our intent to break down the topics of discussion into three parts; surveying and evaluating our member's experience with collaborative applications, implementation strategies when organizations choose to adopt Web 2.0 technologies, and finally, identifying the goals and measures that an organization should use to evaluate whether the new applications are adding value, increasing efficiency or reducing operational costs.
The initial survey uncovered the limited experience that members of our group have with Web 2.0 applications. Some members use applications such as Salesforce.com, Sharepoint 2010 and GoToMeeting in their daily activities, some have tried older applications and have had minimal success because management and/or culture in their organizations have not realized any benefits while some are being introduced to the concept for the first time this week.
Andrew continued the discussion by challenging members of our group to use the two cases and their experiences to determine whether there are indicators management can use to determine if adoption will be successful and worth the added commitment of time and resources. Out of the discussions five (5) factors emerged. The first involved the characteristics of the employees. Older employees may be less adaptable to new technology while younger employees who grew up with tech as part of their educational curriculum adopt easily and have more technical aptitude. The second factor concerns the type of business and the regulatory environment Web 2.0 users exist in. A thread of medical professionals recognized the possibilities but the current Electronic Medical Record (EMR) system is likely not compatible and would require additional work. This leads to the third factor, integration of the new applications within an organization's existing software or records management system. If the new applications are not compatible, there is...

My husband and I recently visited, spending 4 nights on business. It is a very impressive place, decorated in an old fashioned classy sort of way. We stayed in a Jr. Suite and loved the room which faced the front entrance. Maid service was very good, in fact all the staff were very helpful and accommodating. Our first night there we experienced a power outage due to a storm and the power was out for 2 hours. We never had emergency lighting in our room, but eventually generators went on in other parts of the resort. So we just went to bed a little early.
We dined in several of the restaurants, and unfortunately found nothing too impressive. That was rather disappointing. The shops were typical overpriced hotel shops, to which we did contribute for some golf shirts and souvenirs for the grandchildren. DO the Bunker Tour, it's fascinating and worth the money. Make reservations for everything! The restaurants, carriage rides, etc. do fill up. The casino loves to take your money, we lost at everything. Our blackjack dealer made SEVERAL mistakes.
We both had massages at the Spa. I also did a pedi. It was all wonderful, including the steam room. Worth the splurge.
I did a tennis lesson, and my husband a golf lesson. Both were very good. I would do another!
I was disappointed in the "fitness center" as we'll. at least what I saw. It's kind of spread out in a strange layout in front of some tennis courts. I guess people are doing golf, tennis, etc for their fitness.
I visited the outdoor pool once. It's nice, but a little small and crowded.
The outdoors are beautiful! The flowers and landscaping are amazing if you're a photographer. If you like to walk, I suggest the Valley View trail around the golf course, 2.5 miles or so. It's awesome. I would have loved hiking up in the mountains some, for which there are trails, but i was alone and not comfortable with that.
Overall, we're glad we went, once, but would probably not make the 9 hr drive to visit again.

HR Corporate Master (A New HR Model)
Today's organizations consider human resource management as an all inclusive practice and view it playing vital role in their development. Thus the boundaries of human resource field are expanding, as pointed out by Ulrich & Brockbank (2005) that "HR work does not begin with HR, it begins with thebusiness". This emerging need of enlargement in Human Resource Roles propels a thirst for more and more research to bring out the exact responsibilities and roles of HR departments as well as HR professionals in the organizations. In line with this highlighted need and on the basis of literature review, the propositions that have been drawn out to emphasize this research are: firstly; HR is likely to act as an Organizational Architect, Secondly; HR aptly provides expertise as a Functional Expert,Thirdly; HR is expected to act as a change Manager, Fourthly; HR likely acts as a knowledge facilitator, Fifthly; HR needs to act like an external master, and sixthly; HR performs its role as an Intrapreneur. Upon proving these propositions through literature, we will suggest a new model in HR, with the name of "HR Corporate Master", which will explain those roles that HR has to play in order to give success to businesses by its presence.

People often believe that a collection of documents simply highlighting assorted safety issues constitutes a 'Risk Assessment'. This is not the case. A Risk Assessment is an informed evaluation of the risks created by a particular hazard. There will be a number of hazards in a workplace, and each must be appraised. Some of the hazards will need additional controls, these are often referred to as 'Safe Working Practices' or 'Safe Systems of Work'.
When looking at a sequence of tasks, there will again be a series of hazards, and a best practice method of work which aims to minimise the dangers related to those hazards. The document that describes the steps taken is often known as a 'method statement'. Sometimes the method statement is written for your own staff, sometimes it is written for the event production manager. This statement is often used as a way of highlighting additional precautions such as the need for ear plugs during soundchecks, hard hats for rigging, Hi-Viz jackets at night in the loading dock.
Whichever is needed, we can help you create, manage and maintain a Risk Assessment System in a way that best suits what you do.

Human beings are never satisfied with what they have. If they've got a full set of perfectly functional teeth, they'll go for cosmetic dentistry in Mississauga to make them straighter. If they've got a factory that makes 10 cars an hour, they'll keep working on the technology until it makes 20 cars an hour. The inventiveness of human beings means that thousands of advancements, some big, some small, are being made every day. To keep track of who invented what and who gets the profits from it, patents were created. Here's some information about applying for one.
Before you apply for a patent, check with the patent office to make sure someone hasn't already patented your device. This happens a lot, as many inventors have the same ideas, but only one can be first. Remember, you can only patent a device or a process, not an idea, so you can't file a patent to keep anyone else from figuring out how to improve the efficiency of sheet metal shear before you do. You can, however, patent something that's an improvement on a device or process that's already patented.
Once your device is complete, it's up to its owner to file the patent if he or she wants to keep the exclusive right to use it. If you invented the device and funded the project with your own money, you would apply for the patent. However, if a photographer has been backing you as an investor and their money paid for your project, it's their responsibility to apply for the patent. They would also own the rights to the patent unless you made a formal agreement on profit sharing before the work was completed.
Applications for patents cost $200-$400 to file with the Canadian Intellectual Property Office. Putting together a patent application is a long and rigorous process that involves three parts. The first is called the abstract, which summarizes in words what your application is about. The second, the specification, describes the usefulness of the device or process (for instance, how it helps the customer find PEI vacation rentals and exactly what you want protected. The third part is the drawings (technical and otherwise) of your product.
The intellectual property office maintains a guide to help patent applicants through this process. You can find it on their website at www cipo.ic.gc.ca. If, however, your experience lies in preparing homes for sale, not filing patents and you want to make sure your application is not rejected on a technicality, you can hire a patent agent to help you.

United States Ambassador to China, Jon Huntsman, is gearing up for a presidential run. Huntsman's advisors have already begun to assemble a campaign team to build the necessary infrastructure for a potential presidential run. Huntman's political efforts are being conducted by Horizon PAC, which launched a new website today and is also staffed by someone who has roots in Iowa presidential politics.
Tim Miller, a native of Colorado, spent the entire 2006 election cycle working in Iowa. He served time as Bill Dix's political director in the 1st District congressional primary before becoming Jeff Lamberti's communications director during the general election. After 2006, Miller joined John McCain's presidential campaign as its Iowa communications director. Miller worked at public relations firm before joining the Horizon PAC a few weeks ago.
It's unknown whether or not Huntsman will put up much of a fight in Iowa. Huntsman is a moderate Republican who supports civil unions for homosexuals. His position on that issue alone will put him to the left of Mitt Romney and the rest of the eventual field. It's hard to fathom a candidate like Huntsman playing in Iowa if a guy like Romney doesn't see a path to victory here after tromping through the cornfields of Iowa for much of 2006 and 2007.
The Horizon PAC website is absent of any policy positions, but is instead full of rhetoric about longing for the day when America will be great again.
The Horizon PAC website ponders:
What happened?
To America? To politics? To our politicians?
What happened to decency? To reason?
What happened to common goals? To calm? To respect?
What happened to actual, lasting solutions to problems?
When were they replaced with anger?
Slammed fists. Divisive words.
Winning at any cost?
When did principles evaporate?
Those kind of statements, or rather questions, play well in boardrooms and donor meetings, but they don't play well in the coffee shops and at the dinner tables in middle America. When did our principles evaporate? A majority in the country would probably say that they are finally relieved that the people they elected last November are willing to stand on principle over political expediency and aren't going along just to get along.
Just as Mitch Daniel's so-called truce on social issues ignores the entire base of the Republican Party, Huntsman's call for civility in the midst of the greatest political debate about the direction of this county is equally tone-deaf. The 2012 elections will determine which direction our nation will go, and Huntsman's attempt to simply repackage and rebrand the Republican Party signals retreat at the time we must forge ahead. Good luck with that.

text: OK - we are heading to DW in a few days and my DS's AP is up for renewal. I have a 7-day base ticket which I got thru Airmiles. Before I head to Guest Relations, I just want to make sure I can do what I want to do. First things first - can I renew his AP using the value of the 7-day ticket, or do I have to upgrade the 7-day ticket to a new AP? I have reviewed CF's ticket guide just today, but I don't see this option covered. I think it was a couple of years ago in the guide, but I don't see it anymore, which is why I'm not sure what avenue I can go. Anyway, if I assume for now that I can renew, here's what my math tells me. This is, of course, after using the ticket once to bridge it. Value of 7-day adult ticket = $288 AP renewal - $529 AP - 7-day = $241 So, I should have to pay an extra $241 + tax to renew his annual pass. Does this sound correct? Any problems with this plan?

The Morris 34 is in every respect a sailor's sailboat. It is not hard to make a case that the 34 is the best cruising sailboat in the world today under 35 feet. Most seasoned sailors can tell that at a glance. Through the use of "rib-core" engineering, tapered lamination, and exceptional craftsmanship in the accommodations and outfitting, the overall weight of our 34 remains in the moderate category. Combine this with a balanced rig and modern sailcloth, and you have a cruising boat that, despite all its luxurious appointments, flies upwind and down.The 34 is a Morris, and you can have yours as you like it. The cockpit is set up for either tiller or wheel steering, and interiors can be customized. In its original configuration or any other vision you might have for a Morris 34 of your own, no matter what you've owned before, this "Boat of the Year" is a sure candidate for the boat of your life.
