Days of Heaven Review
It's very hard to know what to expect from a director who has directed only three films in the last twenty-nine years. The enigmatic Terence Malick, whose last film The Thin Red Line divided critics neatly into the 'love it' or 'hate it' camps, garnered his cult status off the back of two seventies classics that are as pulsating with visual verve today as they were when first released. The first was Badlands, made in 1973, and the second was the 1978 film Days Of Heaven.
Set in the preceding years of the first World War, Days Of Heaven commences outside Chicago, in which one of the film's main characters - Bill (Richard Gere) is caught up in a fight with a Steel Mill Foreman and inadvertently kills him. Together with his girlfriend Abby (a very thin Brooke Adams) and his younger sister Linda (an excellent performance by young Linda Manz), the trio flee to Texas, which is in the middle of a big harvest. Luckily, Bill, Abby and Linda all soon find jobs as workers on the vast wheat fields of a wealthy man simply known as 'The Farmer' (playwright Sam Shepard). In order to deflect attention, Bill has told anyone who asks that Abby is his sister. Always showing their love for each other in private, the couple are presented with an opportunity for social ascension, when The Farmer grows an attraction to Abby. The farmer asks Abby to stay after the harvest, and she agrees providing her 'brother and sister' can stay too. Bill however, has unbeknownst to The Farmer overheard a conversation, in which it was rumoured The Farmer has only a short while to live. This convinces Bill to agree to let Abby marry The Farmer, since he will die soon anyway and thus leave his riches to her (and therefore Bill). Things don't go according to plan though, as The Farmer doesn't seem to be dying, and Abby is actually starting to fall in love with him.
No review of Days Of Heaven is accurate if it does not mention the film's absolutely breathtaking utilisation of sight and sound. Here is a film in which every single shot viewed and every single sound heard will linger in the mind days after experiencing them. Filmed during the "magic hour" just before the sun sets for the day, every single frame of the film has been given a natural and luminous glow that effortlessly conjures up a sense of escapist authenticity. One method of providing escapist cinema is to throw in fantastical worlds for the viewer to indulge in. A tougher and more masterful way of achieving this task is to create a past world so removed from contemporary society and yet so believable that the world that is created almost has a life of its own outside of the screen. Days Of Heaven perfectly corroborates this latter example, and credit justly goes to writer/director Terence Malick. Also worthy of high praise is the tremendous achievements of director of photography Nestor Almendros, who won an Oscar for his efforts, and who was also helped out by Haskell Wexler due to contract obligations requiring him on another film. Wexler was never given co-credit for his work, despite filming approximately half of the shots himself.
Sound is given such an emphasis in Days Of Heaven that you would argue it is ultimately more important to Malick than the characters themselves. The sound mix isn't background wallpaper thrown in to add atmosphere to the story, but is actually placed heavily in the foreground as if given highest priority. In fact, there are some sequences in which the characters' dialogue has been muted to make way for the surrounding sound environment. Days Of Heaven unlike any other film strikes a vast audible chord using such subtle sounds as hay swaying in the breeze or winds blowing. Indeed, the famous locust attack sequence in the film is horrific not because of the visual aspects but because of how it grates in its sound.
The most obvious reason for the film not being forever banded in many 'top ten' lists is due to the ever-present criticism of the film's emotional aloofness. This apparent distancing from the heart of the characters has been blamed for the film's slow pacing and style-over-content aurora, in which minimalist dialogue and lack of characterisation fail to enhance the plot. There are however, various elements that defend the film. Firstly, one must not forget that Days Of Heaven is narrated in an honest fashion by Linda, a child who sees things straight and narrow like any child does. She lacks the passion generated by the adult love triangle surrounding her, and her narration is almost a child's view commentary of the new experiences she witnesses. This arguably is why the audience has trouble in identifying with Bill, Abby or The Farmer. In answer to the film's slow pacing and bare dialogue, one is reminded that these are simple, ordinary characters behaving in the most primary of ways, which forms part of Malick's painting of a realistic past world. The plot is uneventful (despite the inclusion of a few murders) but then so is life itself for most people, and why should a film be only produced if the story premise is out-of-the-ordinary to the viewer? The promise of a different cinematic world is enough of a viewing temptation without the need for unrealistic melodrama.
Cast wise, Gere, Adams and Shepard all perform acceptably, but they are only bit-players in the ultimate purpose of Days Of Heaven. Linda Manz is excellent, and deserved more recognition and a greater, subsequent career for her fundamental portrayal of the character Linda, who serves almost as a link between the world of the film and the modern-day audience. Ennio Morricone like always delivers a subtle yet evocative score that showcases his abundant talents.
The film apparently had shooting troubles, and Malick took two years to edit it. This was proceeded by the director's self-imposed hiatus from filmmaking, until The Thin Red Line in 1998. For those viewers perplexed by this latter example, a visually poetic yet almost incomprehensible war film, Days Of Heaven is an excellent insight into the mind of Malick and his cinematic priorities. It is also one of the greatest audio/visual movies if not possibly one of the finest movies of the nineteen seventies. It certainly won't appeal to everyone, in fact only a minority will persevere with and champion it, but seeing the film once will ensure that its sensual evocativeness will always stay with you, even if you never, ever visit the world of Days Of Heaven again.
Academy Awards 1978

Best Original Score - Ennio Morricone
Best Sound Recording - Robert W. Glass Jr., John T. Reitz, Barry Thomas, John Wilkinson
For such a powerfully visual film, the transfer is arguably more fundamental than extras. Paramount have delivered an anamorphic 1.78:1 widescreen transfer that on the whole complements the film's beauty, despite a few traces of dirt and grain, and a couple of annoying print shakes during scene transitions. Even so, the transfer has slightly more depth than the R1 version, and easily beats the very grainy TV prints of the film that have been circulating.
The film has been splendidly remixed into 5.1 surround that audibly takes Malick's film into another level of cinematic enjoyment. The audio elements are given much more room to become distinctive in their own right, and the use of channelling perfectly complements the notion of the authetic world Days Of Heaven presents to us. The only gripe is the film lacks the original Dolby stereo track that is available on the R1 version.
Menu: A static and silent menu incorporating some shots from the film as well as promotional artwork. As understatement is a big factor of the film, you could sarcastically argue that the menu is in keeping with the film.
Packaging: The usual Paramount Widescreen Collection amaray packaging, featuring a grim colouring on the front cover and a single page insert for chapter listings.
Original Theatrical Trailer: A slow and uninteresting trailer that manages to present the film as if represented by its critics as opposed to its fans.
The enigmatic persona of the film and its director doesn't help when it comes to extra features, but Days Of Heaven is so rewarding in its own right that any fan wishing to own the film will find enough quality aspects on the DVD to satisfy. The Region 2 version lacks the additional inclusion of the original Dolby Stereo track which is available on the Region 1, but this is only a minor gripe. As the medium of DVD enhances the audio and visual qualities of cinema, what better way to experience such a breathtaking example of a masterwork than with Terence Malick's Days Of Heaven.

I will be taking an extended vacation around the world in August. To fund the trip, I made use of my travel hacking points. Through three credit cards: Chase Sapphire (40,000 bonus points), Chase Bold (50,000 bonus points) and the Chase United Explorer (55,000 bonus points), I was able to merge points together, and fund this 130,000 point round-the-world excursion. The Sapphire and Bold Ultimate Reward points were converted to United points.
Round-Trip Flight to Japan
Because the points were used to purchase seats in business class (not cheap!), naturally, you would want to extend your trip so that you could fly as many times as possible, and travel as many miles as possible.
To illustrate, let's suppose that I only wanted to travel round trip from San Jose, CA to Tokyo, Japan on business class.
Using the United points chart below for business class, I could purchase a round trip flight for 120,000 points (60,000 points each way).
In total, the round trip flight to Tokyo and back home would cover 10,308 miles. For 120,000 points, this is still a pretty good deal because a business seat to Tokyo from San Jose probably costs around $4000, each way.
SJC to NRT and back:
Round-the-World Modification
However, thanks to certain perks in place, individual airlines allow travelers a certain degree of freedom. As it pertains to United Airlines, a passenger is allowed (2) open jaws, (1) stopover and segmented 24-hour layovers. This allows you to create flexibility in your flights, and the potential to travel more destinations. The best part, you can do all this and not have to spend any more points than your original flight.
By working within the guidelines, I was able to piece together a more elaborate trip, covering more destinations and miles. My trip in August is detailed below:
First Flight: San Jose, CA to Tokyo, Japan (Business on ANA All Nippon Airways)
Second Flight: Bangkok, Thailand to Frankfurt, Germany (First Class on Thai Airways); layover/connecting to Rome, Italy (Business on Lufthansa)
Third Flight: Rome, Italy to Toronto, ON Canada (Business on Air Canada)
Fourth Flight: Toronto, ON Canada to San Francisco, CA (Business on Air Canada)
Round-the-World Trip:
First Open Jaw
An open jaw is a break in the itinerary, when you depart from a different city than the one you first arrived in. My first open jaw occurs after I land from San Jose to Tokyo. The open jaw is created due to the fact that my departure flight back home is now from Bangkok, and not Tokyo. To get to Bangkok, I have to find my own means… The open jaw can be for as long as I want. In this case, I'll be in Thailand for about a week.
From Bangkok, through the use of the first open jaw, I am able to resume my flight back home, first passing through to Rome, Italy. Technically, I will first be landing in Frankfurt, Germany, but I don't plan on doing anything there. Going to Frankfurt will be a short layover since it is only needed to connect me to Rome, which is my stopover destination. I connected in Frankfurt because there were no direct flights from Bangkok to Rome that fit my needs/schedule.
Rome is where I will use my first stopover. United allows one stopover, which is simply when you stop at a destination for longer than 24 hours before resuming your flight to its final destination. I will use this stopover to vacation for one week in Rome.
On the way back home, I will fly from Rome to Toronto, ON Canada. This is where I will use a layover, which allows for a stay in a city for less than 24 hours, before you have to resume your flight. I will travel in Toronto for one day (pushing the layover as close as possible to 24 hours), and visit Niagara Falls. The very next day, it's back on the plane to get home.
Second Open Jaw
From Toronto, the final flight will take me to San Francisco. Because I will be landing back home at a different airport (city) than where I departed from, this again creates the second open jaw in the flight plan. For my trip, it is simply more convenient to fly back to the Bay Area via San Francisco than San Jose.
By making use of open jaws, stopovers, and layovers, I am able to extend my trip for the same amount of points. Even though I will be taking four distinct flights, they won't cost me anything more. They are all considered a part of the original round-trip itinerary (San Jose to Tokyo and back home). The best part? Because the original round-trip flight was booked on business, I am able to get a business seat on each of the flights. Score!
For this trip, the total miles traveled will span 18,023 miles. This is almost double that from the original example, which is what I mean about getting more bang for your buck (points).
So, why is my round-the-world trip 130,000 points instead of 120,000 points? On the leg home (Thailand to Frankfurt), I decided to upgrade to First Class (Thai Airways), which costs an extra 10,000 points. 😉

Ancient Art on the Rocks
Published: 07/02/2010
Whenever you sketch pictures in the dirt or draw stick figures on a chalkboard, you join a long line of artists from throughout human history. For thousands of years, people have been leaving their marks on rock walls and in caves around the world. New analyses of ancient paintings in the caves of Borneo suggest that people made matchstick figures and images of hands at least 10,000 years ago. This means that people probably lived on the Asian island as many as 5,000 years earlier than archaeologists had previously thought. It can be difficult to determine how old rock art is. One common way is to look at the amount of carbon in paint pigments. Carbon compounds break down at a predictable rate over time, giving scientists a clue about how long the paint has been there. Unfortunately, the paint used in the Gua Saleh Cave in southeast Borneo was made out of a type of iron compound, with no carbon. Instead of looking at the pigment itself, the team of French archaeologists who analyzed the paintings looked at carbon in calcite deposits on top of the art. Calcite is the main ingredient of limestone and of cave formations such as stalagmites and stalactites. Analyses showed that the calcite covering is about 9,900 years old. The researchers still don't know how long the paintings had been there before that. Ancient rock art can tell archaeologists a lot of interesting things about a culture, besides indicating how long people have lived in an area. The paintings at Gua Saleh might have been part of healing ceremonies or other rituals. Some day, people might be analyzing the sketches you leave behind, too. So choose your messages carefully. Who knows what the archaeologists of the future will think of the times we live in?E. SohnAncient Art on the Rocks

Mark Sampsell is Appointed General Manager of Houston Marriott Cityplace at Springwoods Village
Aimbridge Hospitality today announced the appointment of Mark Sampsell as general manager of Houston Marriot CityPlace in Springwoods Village, now under construction and scheduled to open in early October 2018. The 10-story, 337-room full-service property will be the first full-service hotel within the North Houston master-planned community, and the third hotel Woodbine Development has developed for the area.
Sampsell has more than 20 years of hospitality experience and most recently served as the general manager of the Embassy Suites Houston West - Katy. In his new role, Sampsell will oversee the completion of the Houston Marriott CityPlace construction and its operations once the hotel opens. Previously, Sampsell opened and managed a number of properties for Aimbridge Hospitality and Wyndham Worldwide. Prior to that he has held various hospitality positions, including food and beverage manager. Sampsell is a graduate of Niagara University and holds a bachelor's degree in hotel and restaurant administration. He sits on the board of directors of the Greater Houston Convention and Visitors Bureau.
Houston Marriott CityPlace will serve as the eastern end of CityPlace, a 60-acre fully integrated, mixed-use district in Springwoods Village, facing CityPlace Park and next to the public CityPlace Plaza. Woodbine is the developer and the asset manager, and Aimbridge Hospitality serves as the management company for the hotel. Gensler is the architect and interior designer, and Austin Commercial is the general contractor.
In addition to Marriott signature elements like MClub Lounge, Great Rooms, Great Room Bar and Grab N Go, the hotel will also include a three-meal-a-day restaurant, Switchouse. The pool, pool bar and spacious outdoor patio and event space will allow travelers to take advantage of the Texas sunshine and fair weather. The hotel will also be host to 33,000 square feet of indoor/outdoor function space, including a grand ballroom, a junior ballroom, five meeting rooms, three boardrooms, a pool bar event space and access to The CityPlace Plaza, an expansive outdoor event area.
Houston Marriott CityPlace will have an open feel and contemporary design informed and inspired by the meandering paths, forest trails and flowing creeks of the surrounding Springwoods Village community. The handsome interiors will feature a mix of stone, tile, wood, metal and textured fabrics in natural and earthy hues-paired with upscale furnishings, fixtures and finishes. Nods to the railway traditions of the area and the nature of the region will be woven throughout.
Public spaces will reflect the needs of today's travelers-providing a mix of inviting configurations and seating options for those looking to connect online or to connect with others around them. Meanwhile, the 337 guest rooms will offer modern, restful retreats, with comfortable lounge furniture and a flexible table/work station setup that allows for seamless transitions between work and relaxation.
The design of Houston Marriott CityPlace at Springwoods Village has been developed with the goal of pursuing LEED Gold certification, reflecting Springwoods Village's commitment to sustainable development and conservation. Guests will be able to enjoy the community's natural assets, including more than 290 acres of parks and natural corridors that connect to a network of trails. The nearby 150-acre Springwoods Village Nature Preserve is an ecologically rich experience with a forest habitat, wetlands and pond, and will eventually become part of the greater 46-mile Spring Creek Greenway.
Springwoods Village is a $10 billion, 2,000-acre sustainable master-planned community coming to life in Spring, just south of the Woodlands and 20 miles north of downtown Houston. Located at the confluence of I-45, the Hardy Toll Road and the Grand Parkway, the community is a new model of sustainability and greener living for the Houston region, preserving its natural ecosystems, building energy smart homes, and reducing dependence on the car by providing a walkable mix of retail, dining, offices and public amenities. CityPlace, which will offer 4.4 million square feet of office and retail space within Springwoods Village, is being developed by a master development venture comprising Patrinely Group, USAA Real Estate Company and CDC Houston.

Desmontado el mito de que el colecho produce muerte súbita. Una vez más!
Last week, we published our novel study, "Sudden Infant Death and Social Justice: A Syndemics Approach," showing that bedsharing – which has been the main focus of many interventions – is not the primary risk behind sudden infant death.
Instead, factors associated with poverty and racism have much more to do with Sudden Unexplained Infant Death (SUID), which includes suffocation, and its subset, SIDS (Sudden Infant Death Syndrome). Looking at populations around the world and the known risk factors for sudden infant death, we found that the vast majority of infants dying are from poor or marginalized populations, especially people who have experienced historical trauma. On the other hand, many wealthy and privileged populations have high rates to moderate rates of bedsharing,like Asian Americans and Swedes, yet have some of the lowest rates of SUID/SIDS in the world.
We used the medical anthropological theory of syndemics to help…

|If you like free snacks that you can get at a convenience store, the Run for Research 5K is for you.
This year the race was on a new course that started and ended at SunTrust Park, the home of the Atlanta Braves. It actually looked like the course was the one that I thought I was going to get to run last June in the Braves Country 5K.
I arrived early and was glad I did. I'd forgotten that RaceTrac's snack vendors were out in full force giving out freebies of Oreo cookies, Utz chips and other things like Payday candy bars. I picked up my shirt and bib and had a whole bag of snacks before the race started.
When the race started it was a screaming downhill. I tried my best to keep it under control -- I did 6:49 for the first mile and it felt good. Mile 2 had a little bit of uphill and while I wanted to keep pace I faded a little bit to 7:12.
Mile 3 has the huge hill at the end going over Interstate 75. I just tried to run up it carefully and made my way down the hill toward the stadium. There's another rise right before you turn into the stadium -- Mile 3 was 7:25.
I remembered though that in last year's Braves Country 5K I noted that you have to kick when you turn to go into the stadium because once you get on the warning track, there isn't much race left. So I did, passing three guys and a woman who'd been in front of me the entire race. I finished the last .19 of the race in 1:03, at a 5:52/mile pace.
I finished in 22:29, good for 6th place in my age group and while the hills were hard, I felt really good about my run. It was the first time I ran in Nike's Epic React Flyknit shoes and these were everything I thought they would be for a 5K. They were very smooth on hard surfaces and didn't give me too much squishy give that the Nike Vaporfly 4 percent did going up a hill at the end of the race.
Still, I marveled how eternally consistent I am in hilly races -- 22:30 is my going time.
Time: 8:30 a.m.
Temp: 55 degrees
Gear: T-shirt, technical, short (Ukrops 10K 2016), shorts, Nuun hydration PRO Compression socks, Nike Epic React Flyknit.

Ford introduced methods for large-scale manufacturing of cars and large-scale management of an industrial workforce using elaborately engineered manufacturing sequences typified by moving assembly lines; by 1914 these methods were known around the world as Fordism. Ford's former UK subsidiaries Jaguar and Land Rover, acquired in 1989 and 2000 respectively, were sold to Tata Motors in March 2008. Ford owned the Swedish automaker Volvo from 1999 to 2010. In 2011, Ford discontinued the Mercury brand, under which it had marketed entry-level luxury cars in the United States, Canada, Mexico, and the Middle East since 1938.
Ford is the second-largest U.S.-based automaker and the fifth-largest in the world based on 2010 vehicle sales. At the end of 2010, Ford was the fifth largest automaker in Europe. Ford is the eighth-ranked overall American-based company in the 2010 Fortune 500 list, based on global revenues in 2009 of $118.3 billion. In 2008, Ford produced 5.532 million automobiles and employed about 213,000 employees at around 90 plants and facilities worldwide.
The company went public in 1956 but the Ford family, through special Class B shares, still retain 40 percent voting rights.

Main article: History of Ford Motor Company
20th centuryHenry Ford's first attempt at a car company under his own name was the Henry Ford Company on November 3, 1901, which became the Cadillac Motor Company on August 22, 1902, after Ford left with the rights to his name. The Ford Motor Company was launched in a converted factory in 1903 with $28,000 in cash from twelve investors, most notably John and Horace Dodge (who would later found their own car company). During its early years, the company produced just a few cars a day at its factory on Mack Avenue in Detroit, Michigan. Groups of two or three men worked on each car, assembling it from parts made mostly by supplier companies contracting for Ford. Within a decade the company would lead the world in the expansion and refinement of the assembly line concept; and Ford soon brought much of the part production in-house in a vertical integration that seemed a better path for the era.
Henry Ford was 39 years old when he founded the Ford Motor Company, which would go on to become one of the world's largest and most profitable companies, as well as being one to survive the Great Depression. As one of the largest family-controlled companies in the world, the Ford Motor Company has been in continuous family control for over 100 years.
After the first modern automobile was already created in the year 1886 by German inventor Carl Benz (Benz Patent-Motorwagen), more efficient production methods were needed to make the automobile affordable for the middle-class; which Ford contributed to, for instance by introducing the first moving assembly line in 1913.
In 1908 Ford introduced the first engine with a removable cylinder head, in the Model T. In 1930, Ford introduced the Model A, the first car with safety glass in the windshield. Ford launched the first low priced V8 engine powered car in 1932.
Ford offered the Lifeguard safety package from 1956, which included such innovations as a standard deep-dish steering wheel, optional front, and, for the first time in a car, rear seatbelts, and an optional padded dash. Ford introduced child-proof door locks into its products in 1957, and in the same year offered the first retractable hardtop on a mass-produced six-seater car. The Ford Mustang was introduced in 1964. In 1965 Ford introduced the seat belt reminder light.
With the 1980s, Ford introduced several highly successful vehicles around the world. During the 1980s, Ford began using the advertising slogan, "Have you driven a Ford, lately?" to introduce new customers to their brand and make their vehicles appear more modern. In 1990 and 1994 respectively, Ford also acquired Jaguar Cars and Aston Martin. During the mid- to late 1990s, Ford continued to sell large numbers of vehicles, in a booming American economy with a soaring stock market and low fuel prices.
With the dawn of the new century, legacy healthcare costs, higher fuel prices, and a faltering economy led to falling market shares, declining sales, and diminished profit margins. Most of the corporate profits came from financing consumer automobile loans through Ford Motor Credit Company.
21st century
By 2005, both Ford and GM's corporate bonds had been downgraded to junk status, as a result of high U.S. health care costs for an aging workforce, soaring gasoline prices, eroding market share, and an over dependence on declining SUV sales. Profit margins decreased on large vehicles due to increased "incentives" (in the form of rebates or low interest financing) to offset declining demand. In the latter half of 2005, Chairman Bill Ford asked newly appointed Ford Americas Division President Mark Fields to develop a plan to return the company to profitability. Fields previewed the Plan, named The Way Forward, at the December 7, 2005 board meeting of the company and it was unveiled to the public on January 23, 2006. "The Way Forward" included resizing the company to match market realities, dropping some unprofitable and inefficient models, consolidating production lines, closing 14 factories and cutting 30,000 jobs.
William Clay Ford, Jr., great-grandson of Henry Ford, serves as the executive chairman at the board of Ford Motor Company.
Ford moved to introduce a range of new vehicles, including "Crossover SUVs" built on unibody car platforms, rather than more body-on-frame chassis. In developing the hybrid electric powertrain technologies for the Ford Escape Hybrid SUV, Ford licensed similar Toyota hybrid technologies to avoid patent infringements. Ford announced that it will team up with electricity supply company Southern California Edison (SCE) to examine the future of plug-in hybrids in terms of how home and vehicle energy systems will work with the electrical grid. Under the multi-million-dollar, multi-year project, Ford will convert a demonstration fleet of Ford Escape Hybrids into plug-in hybrids, and SCE will evaluate how the vehicles might interact with the home and the utility's electrical grid. Some of the vehicles will be evaluated "in typical customer settings", according to Ford.
William Clay Ford Jr., great-grandson of Henry Ford (and better known by his nickname "Bill"), was appointed Executive Chairman in 1998, and also became Chief Executive Officer of the company in 2001, with the departure of Jacques Nasser, becoming the first member of the Ford family to head the company since the retirement of his uncle, Henry Ford II, in 1982. Upon the retirement of President and Chief Operation Officer Jim Padilla in April 2006, Bill Ford assumed his roles as well. Five months later, in September, Ford named Alan Mulally as President and CEO, with Ford continuing as Executive Chairman. In December 2006, the company raised its borrowing capacity to about $25 billion, placing substantially all corporate assets as collateral. Chairman Bill Ford has stated that "bankruptcy is not an option". Ford and the United Auto Workers, representing approximately 46,000 hourly workers in North America, agreed to a historic contract settlement in November 2007 giving the company a substantial break in terms of its ongoing retiree health care costs and other economic issues. The agreement included the establishment of a company-funded, independently run Voluntary Employee Beneficiary Association (VEBA) trust to shift the burden of retiree health care from the company's books, thereby improving its balance sheet. This arrangement took effect on January 1, 2010. As a sign of its currently strong cash position, Ford contributed its entire current liability (estimated at approximately US$5.5 billion as of December 31, 2009) to the VEBA in cash, and also pre-paid US$500 million of its future liabilities to the fund. The agreement also gives hourly workers the job security they were seeking by having the company commit to substantial investments in most of its factories.
The automaker reported the largest annual loss in company history in 2006 of $12.7 billion, and estimated that it would not return to profitability until 2009. However, Ford surprised Wall Street in the second quarter of 2007 by posting a $750 million profit. Despite the gains, the company finished the year with a $2.7 billion loss, largely attributed to finance restructuring at Volvo.
On June 2, 2008, Ford sold its Jaguar and Land Rover operations to Tata Motors for $2.3 billion.
During Congressional hearings held in November 2008 at Washington D.C., and in a show of support, Ford's Alan Mulally stated that "We at Ford are hopeful that we have enough liquidity. But we also must prepare ourselves for the prospect of further deteriorating economic conditions". Mulally went on to state that "The collapse of one of our competitors would have a severe impact on Ford" and that Ford Motor Company's supports both Chrysler and General Motors in their search for government bridge loans in the face of conditions caused by the 2008 financial crisis. Together, the three companies presented action plans for the sustainability of the industry. Mulally stated that "In addition to our plan, we are also here today to request support for the industry. In the near-term, Ford does not require access to a government bridge loan. However, we request a credit line of $9 billion as a critical backstop or safeguard against worsening conditions as we drive transformational change in our company" GM and Chrysler received government loans and financing through T.A.R.P. legislation funding provisions.
On December 19, the cost of credit default swaps to insure the debt of Ford was 68 percent the sum insured for five years in addition to annual payments of 5 percent. That meant $6.8 million paid upfront to insure $10 million in debt, in addition to payments of $500,000 per year. In January 2009, Ford reported a $14.6 billion loss in the preceding year, a record for the company. The company retained sufficient liquidity to fund its operations. Through April 2009, Ford's strategy of debt for equity exchanges erased $9.9 billion in liabilities (28% of its total) in order to leverage its cash position. These actions yielded Ford a $2.7 billion profit in fiscal year 2009, the company's first full-year profit in four years.
In 2012, Ford's corporate bonds were upgraded from junk to investment grade again, citing sustainable, lasting improvements.
On October 29, 2012, Ford announced the sale of its climate control components business, its last remaining automotive components operation, to Detroit Thermal Systems LLC for an undisclosed price.
On November 1, 2012, Ford announced that CEO Alan Mulally will stay with the company until 2014. Ford also named Mark Fields, the president of operations in Americas, as its new chief operating officer Ford's CEO Mulally was paid a compensation of over $174 million in his previous seven years at Ford since 2006. The generous amount has been a sore point for some workers of the company.

Executive managementMembers of the Ford board as of 2012 are: Richard A. Gephardt, Stephen Butler, Ellen Marram, Kimberly Casiano, Alan Mulally (President and CEO), Edsel Ford II, Homer Neal, William Clay Ford Jr. (Executive Chairman), Jorma Ollila, Irvine Hockaday Jr., John L.

Financial resultsIn 2010, Ford earned a net profit of $6.6 billion and reduced its debt from $33.6 billion to $14.5 billion lowering interest payments by $1 billion following its 2009 net profit of $2.7 billion. In the U.S., the F-Series was the best-selling vehicle for 2010. Ford sold 528,349 F-Series trucks during the year, a 27.7% increase over 2009, out of a total sales of 1.9 million vehicles, or every one out of four vehicles Ford sold. Trucks sales accounts for a big slice of Ford's profits, according to USA Today. Ford's realignment also included the sale of its wholly owned subsidiary, Hertz Rent-a-Car to a private equity group for $15 billion in cash and debt acquisition. The sale was completed on December 22, 2005. A 50–50 joint venture with Mahindra & Mahindra of India, called Mahindra Ford India, Limited (MIFL), ended with Ford buying out Mahindra's remaining stake in the company in 2005. Ford had previously upped its stake to 72% in 1998.
Ford has manufacturing operations worldwide, including in the United States, Canada, Mexico, China, the United Kingdom, Germany, Turkey, Brazil, Argentina, Australia and South Africa. Ford also has a cooperative agreement with Russian automaker GAZ.

As a result of constant character of hydraulic pressure made by Bathmate Hydro-penis Pumps most consumers will recognize faster and greater increases in significantly less than in span. This is because the surface area is much higher around the girth of their penis than the span.
The Bathmate Hydromax X30 Broad Boy hydro penis pump is designed for this in mind. It's 30 percent wider to allow for continuing expansion. It's advised that users employ the right size pump to keep optimum hydraulic pressure around the penis. With a pump that's too large will lead to lower pressure across the penis meaning no or slower expansion.
Herein lies the requirement for the X30 Broad Boy. The broad Boy has a broader vessel but no growth in span on the X30 significance that optimal hydraulic pressure is maintained, leading to faster expansion.
The Bathmate HYDROMAX produces 35 percent more suction than other Hydropumps thanks to its own, newly designed pump system, which supplies you with greater, quicker gains.
The pump system now features a brand new soft sealing, complete service relaxation ring which reduces stress when in use and provides you greater relaxation around the penis base and testicle area. The comfortable pad can also be completely removable for simple cleaning.
A brand new Swivel Bellows attribute allows for full 360 degree rotation to offer you complete visual room viewing and inclined angle change alternative for optimum efficacy when used in the tub or shower.
A brand new valve system allows for only hand filling in the shower, making positioning and using the hydropump a lot simpler for you.
The new imperial and metric scale provides you enhanced visual screening, and we've added lower and upper texturing on the vacuum tube for superior control and grip when in use.
The inner bellows size was increased and the amount of convolutes decreased to permit you to achieve even more remarkable girth expansion.

The University of Nyíregyháza (NE Hungary) and LEGO Education International have signed a cooperation agreement in Belgium, based on which LEGO will establish an Innovation Studio at the university as the first of its kind in the Central and East European region.
The goal of the Innovation Studio is to acquaint current and future educators with the potential educational and skills development applications of the famous toy building blocks, online business news site vg.hu reported Wednesday.
The center will also function as a community forum, sharing what can often be dry knowledge of the natural sciences with students, teachers and parents alike, according to a press release from the university cited by vg.hu.
Nyíregyháza is the site of the LEGO Group's Hungarian factory, which already cooperates closely with the university in a number of areas, the report notes.
Members of a delegation from the university were in Belgium for the signing, where they visited an international workshop and presentation of educational methods at the Hogeschool PXL teacher training college in Hasselt on May 29.

County of Simcoe makes significant investment in mental health care for CHIGAMIK Waypoint Health Hub
County of Simcoe Warden Gerry Marshall presented Waypoint Centre for Mental Health Care (Waypoint) with a $615,359 donation Wednesday in support of the new community health hub.
Warden Gerry Marshall presents Waypoint President and CEO Carol Lambie with a cheque while staff, board members, local youth and others look on in celebration of this generous investment in mental health care
The funding is part of a $45 million commitment in support of capital and redevelopment projects that will be allocated over 15 years to area hospitals that serve Simcoe County residents. From 2017 to 2031, $3 million will be distributed each year through collaboration with the Simcoe County Hospital Alliance which includes hospitals in Alliston, Barrie, Collingwood, Midland, Newmarket, Orillia as well as the Waypoint Centre for Mental Health Care in Penetanguishene.
Dating back to 1994, the County has committed $107 million to support area hospitals.
"Construction of the new community health hub is well underway," said Carol Lambie, Waypoint President and CEO. "The project will co-locate Waypoint's outpatient and community services with CHIGAMIK Community Health Centre and a new Youth Wellness Hub."
"Thanks to the support of community partners like the County of Simcoe, we are able to increase access to care by co-locating mental health and addiction services with primary care. The building will be a welcoming place for clients, staff and the community with designated space for youth programming, traditional Indigenous healing and spiritual care, with the common spaces accommodating the particular needs of children, patients and people with physical challenges."
"Our Council is pleased to step up once again in support of area health care and invest in mental health services," said Warden Gerry Marshall. "Waypoint plays a critical role in our communities, and through our recent funding of the Have Hope campaign for youth mental health awareness and training program, this significant investment in a new community health hub demonstrates our ongoing commitment to partnering with Waypoint to address mental health in our communities and fund services our residents need to cope and manage their illness."

DIRECTV NOW is great. In fact live streaming is great. Forgive me for sounding like a fanboi but how cool is it that you can get live HD video straight from the air on your phone or TV? I mean satellite TV is awesome too but the technological limitations of live streaming are so much greater. That's why we've had satellite TV for about 25 years and we've only really seen explosive growth in live streaming in the last couple of years. I just don't think it was actually possible before then.
It's not the 1980s anymore
Today's living room is a lot more sleek and streamlined than the living rooms of the 1980s and 1990s. The 1980s were all about "components." It was thought, that if you had everything completely separate, everything could work just how you wanted it. That's how we got separate tuners, A/V receivers, cable boxes, and the like. This random image on the internet says it all.
Of course that doesn't include the TV, which would have been about the size and weight of a queen-size bed with all its heavy projection equipment.
Slowly, things consolidated and got smaller. Not everyone wanted a living room that looked like NASA launch control, replete with a dozen confusing remotes. Receivers and giant speakers gave way to sleek sound bars. DVD players disappeared in favor of streaming boxes. TVs, of course, got flat.
Today's home theater is likely to be one or two tiny black boxes, a TV and a sound bar. And that's exactly how people like it
Portrait of a modern cord-cutter
If you want the best of entertainment today but aren't interested in paying for sports or premium channels, you're probably a cord-cutter. You've ditched cable TV in favor of streaming. You might still miss live TV, and that's why you've subscribed to DIRECTV NOW, which gives you over 65 live TV channels plus DVR service for about a quarter of what most people pay for live TV. Sounds like a great plan to me.
There's one little change you'll need to make.
When you used cable and satellite, you got used to just turning off the TV and walking away. The cable or satellite box might have stayed on or it might have turned off, depending on your personal preference. Either way you were really ok.
When you switch to DIRECTV NOW or any other live streaming service, there is a change you need to make when it comes to your "walk-away" behavior. If you turn off your TV, your streaming box may stay on. If it does, you'll still be streaming even though you're not watching. If your internet provider has data caps, you're getting closer to them by streaming and not watching. If you have other people in the house, their internet speeds my be affected.
Point is there's no reason for your streaming box to be pulling all that data when no one's watching. If nothing else it's wasteful and no one likes waste.
So here's the little change…
Your behavior just needs to change a little bit. If you walk away from the streaming box, press its home button or menu button first to go back to a static screen. In other words, a screen where there's no live video. This will stop the streaming and in most cases your streaming box will go to sleep by itself in under an hour.
If you have a universal remote you can program it to take this step, or if you're using the provided remote, just press the right button before you walk away. It's not much of a difference in your life and it will make a difference in the way your internet works.

TORONTO – Ontario's Liberals are being forced to explain why they want to sell Hydro One after condemning the previous Progressive Conservative government for proposing a similar privatization plan.
The Conservatives dug up a 2002 motion from veteran Liberal Jim Bradley, now the chair of cabinet, that said Hydro One "is best kept in public ownership and public hands."
Story continues below
PC Leader Patrick Brown takes oath of office as legislature resumes
Hydro One contract includes shares, raises, but government says it's 'net zero'
Bradley cited cabinet confidentiality Tuesday when asked if he had ever spoken against Premier Kathleen Wynne's plans to sell 60 per cent of the giant transmission utility to raise an estimated $9 billion.

Wynne says she would use $4 billion from the sale to help pay for a $130-billion, 10-year infrastructure and public transit program, and $5 billion to pay down hydro debt.
Bradley insists he supports all government policies, and says he opposed the Conservatives' plan to sell Hydro One 13 years ago because they wanted to sell 100 per cent of the utility.
PC Leader Patrick Brown explains his opposition to the sale by saying he won't be tied to positions taken by previous Conservative leaders, and warns that privatizing Hydro One will drive up electricity rates.

We talk about mental health a fair bit. More and more we see it come up as a topic of discussion on the news, we see celebrities revealing their history of mental health, and we see think tanks, charities, and government bodies releasing statements and papers about the situation. We're seeing a national shift in attitudes towards mental health, and it's undoubtedly for the better. So we have to ask ourselves, why is World Mental Health Day still a thing? Why do we still host Mental Health Awareness Week? Have we not reached a saturation in awareness?
The answer to these questions is multi-layered and complicated. It would be easy to argue that our work here is done – to wash our hands clean of the issue, and move on to other topics of activism. Most, if not all students will have a baseline understanding of mental health, or will at least have seen a campaign around the matter. But despite this, the numbers do not match the assumptions. With 19.7% of people in the UK having depressive or anxiety related symptoms, and one person in 15 globally having attempted suicide in their life, it is clear we have a long way to go. But where is this gap?
The causes of mental health issues can often be confusing, but we know that they are not a complete mystery. Workplace stress, academic pressure, family issues, and loneliness can all be contributing factors towards mental illness, along with many, many others. Mental illness can be caused by specific circumstances, or they can be chronic. There is no universal theory or absolute trend that we can use to identify when and where mental health issues will arise, however there are plenty of common themes that we can use to give us an indication at the very least.
Ultimately, there are two gaping holes in the way we deal with mental health – support services and communication. The first is fairly self-explanatory. It's no secret that mental health services across the country are woefully underfunded, short staffed, and thinly stretched. Radical reform is needed in terms of how we prioritise these services, both on a national and local level. Your VP Welfare and Diversity, Willow Wong has already been lobbying the College to improve the Health Centre, and mental health provision has been a key part of this effort.
The second element is somewhat more complex. We talk about mental health all the time. We talk about statistics and celebrities, about funding, or lack thereof. We talk about mental health, but we talk about it in the abstract. Our awareness is currently focussed on the concept and on erasing stigma, but not on the real, one on one conversations about our own mental health. We neglect the importance of openly discussing our issues in a safe environment, and by doing so the only spaces available to talk about mental health are ones which involve cameras and megaphones. Perhaps it's time to trade in the TV interviews for a kitchen chat with a friend, a phone call with a parent, or a session with a counsellor.
It's great to see so many people coming forward into the public sphere with their stories. Their confidence helps to inspire many, and it's important to acknowledge their bravery. But it's equally important to encourage those around us to speak quietly. To regularly and sincerely ask "are you okay?", and to listen without judgement and without interruption.
On World Mental Health Day, it's time for us to champion the important conversations.
With that in mind, why not join the Royal Holloway Mental Health Network as they host their 'Let's Talk About Mental Health' event on Friday in Munro Fox Seminar Room from 19:00-21:00. They'll be discussing why mental health matters to us, with guest student speakers, and plenty of time to open the floor for discussion.

Because last summer was spent volunteering/tutoring in my hometown, my marketing position this summer has been my first "real" internship experience. It's at Cigna Healthcare in Bloomfield, CT–and it's definitely been a good time. Coming straight from my erratic schedule in college, where 2 hour mid-day breaks and nighttime classes have been the norm, it was originally odd to don a briefcase, button-down shirt and khakis and spend the day in a cubicle staring at a computer screen. Now, a few weeks in, I'm used to it and find myself very comfortable in my position, where I'm editing documents, making spreadsheets, and updating websites.
It's been a great experience. Everyone is friendly to the interns, and I'm not in a position where I'm getting coffee. I'm on conference calls discussing web strategy, I send emails with a fancy signature, and I swipe into the building that holds thousands of people using an ID card with my picture on it. Yes, office watercoolers do exist, but no, they're not the hub of conversation that I'd thought they'd be.
Various other thoughts:
- While I'm liking my job, I've realized that I'm not going to take my 2 years left of college for granted. I'm happy to put off a few years before I get into the 9-to-5 workday routine for the rest of my life.
- It seems like everyone knows someone that went to Cornell. That's probably an odd observation to make, but every time someone asks my school, I seemingly always get a response like "oh, my _____ went there!"
- Casual Friday does not mean shorts, even if you're wearing a dressy shirt! Though I didn't offend anyone, the woman who hired me made fun of me, in good spirits, all day for my "intern move" (Let's chalk this one up to experience, as I'll vow to never make that mistake for the rest of my professional career.)
- "Reply All" is a dangerous tool. I haven't been burned personally, but I've been told horror stories at the office.
