1. The Steward's Heir
The Steward's Heir Early spring, T.A. 2970
Another black arrow chipped the stone wall in front of him. One accurate marksman knew where Thorongil and the dozen men were crouched. A large incursion of orcs had pinned down the garrison at Osgiliath, and Thorongil's Ithilien Rangers were misfortunate to have arrived for rest and supplies just a few hours before the attack began.
Sauron's annual harassment had commenced early that year. Spring had barely crept into the Black Land and trees had yet to bud along the Anduin when the scouts reported orc activity increasing dramatically. Patrols were sighting small bands on a daily basis, although there had been no sign of the build up for this large-scale offense against Osgiliath. Yesterday, Thorongil's Ranger group patrolling north had crossed the river above Osgiliath and come down the east bank, seeing no orc-sign. The attack force must have marched north from the Morgul Vale. But, strangely, there had been no advance warning. That portended dire happenings to Salatenor and his men.
In the early hours of the morning under cover of dark and the heavy feeling of a threatening storm, arrows peppered the sentinels at Osgiliath as the orcs crossed the Anduin on barges and crept into the ruins of the old city. The stealth of the attack made Thorongil wonder what intercession of the Valar had kept them all from being butchered in their beds. When the alarm was finally raised and a rider sent to Minas Tirith for reinforcements, the orcs were in place, lobbing arrows between the columns outside the barracks and killing several troopers who rushed out unaware, still dazed with sleep. Reason finally took control and the men stopped charging to their deaths.
The orcs holed up in the cover of the ruins, waiting for reinforcements. They had not changed position for nearly an hour. The garrison commander ordered his troopers to cease firing. Trading arrows was a worthless use of materiel; and the random firing by the orcs seemed to be a lure to get the Gondorians to show themselves. As this lull lengthened, Thorongil wrapped his bow and quiver in his cloak, and tucked the bundle into a nook. Arrant watched him unsheathe his sword and loosen the curved elf-blade at his waist.
"You think they'll come at us soon?" His young second's voice held a tremor of fear.
"Aye," he looked at the lieutenant, "as soon as they have moved their reinforcements into position."
Arrant swallowed, and then swallowed again. "My lord, I'm frightened," he confessed.
Thorongil smiled. "I'd have you no other way. I wouldn't want you at my back if you weren't," he said comfortingly. "Take heart. The sun will rise. Minas Tirith will respond." The lieutenant nodded at his words and peered out into the blackness. Thorongil knew when the orc charge came, his men would be cut down if they remained isolated. The main body of soldiers was behind and below their position, across open ground. The full moon had set, and the sky greyed to the east, but the blackness before dawn gave them little advantage: orcs see wicked well in the dark.
The captain motioned his group together and whispered his plan. He sent the first man scuttling to the edge of the cover, as he and Arrant began a cacophonous racket, tossing rocks and shouting. The orc arrows snicked heavily around them, but the dozen men made it safely to the main group.
"Well, Arrant, it's your turn." Thorongil laid a hand on the lieutenant's shoulder.
"No, my lord, we should go together. The captain gripped his arm and nodded. His young second had discovered his courage. Giving one last heave of stones, they suddenly broke from the cover of the crumbling wall and fled across the open field. The barrage of orc arrows that followed them showed the demons had not been fooled this time. Fortunately, the orc accuracy did not increase with distance.
The lieutenant caught Thorongil's arm as they skittered to the barracks' columns amid the cheers of the garrison. He was laughing, elated with their daring.
"My lord, we------" Arrant's body slammed against his captain's with the impact of the final arrow. There was a curious, surprised look in his hazel eyes. Thorongil, a finer medic than any battlefield surgeon, knew the arrow had pierced his heart. "My lord?" he asked confused as he died.
Tears burned in Thorongil's eyes for this young man who had fought so bravely at his side for nearly five years. He lowered Arrant to the ground and closed his sightless eyes. Another young family bereft of a father. He thought of the times he had been invited to the cottage; if he survived, he would have to make one last trip to see Talwing and the two youngsters.
"They're coming!" Evil cries eerily rolled between the buildings as the orcs charged. In the half light, the captain of the garrison rode up, trying to rally his men. Hampered by the building ruins and the narrow streets, Thorongil knew the isolated pockets of soldiers did not stand a chance unless they backed out onto the plain, formed up as one group, and could meet the enemy in open battle. This was the unique problem with urban warfare, the problem the Osgiliath garrison faced each time Mordor's forces attacked the city. A sniper with a bow stood in better stead than a foot soldier with spear and sword, but the Steward's council manned the garrison as if they met the enemy on an open field.
Thorongil arrayed the men near him, warning them to stay behind cover until the charge was upon them. As the main body of orcs met the Osgiliath troopers in single combat, the orc archers would move up and soon they would be fighting under a deadly rain of arrows. He tightened his double-handed grip on his sword, as the thudding feet and snarls grew louder, and stepped around the column, gutting the first surprised orc, and then kicking the body free from his blade. Soon his sword, hands, and vest were covered with black blood. He looked up in time to see the garrison commander pierced three times with arrows and fall from his horse. The Gondorian soldiers were in chaos. With the commander dead, the troopers would mill ineffectively until the orcs slowly separated them into small groups and methodically hacked them to bits. If they turned and ran, the orcs would mow them down before they were many feet beyond the walls. Osgiliath would be taken, and with such a foothold on the western bank, it would take many lives to drive the orcs back across the Anduin.
"Back up to the gates!" yelled Thorongil, his voice carrying through the din. "Regroup!" He listened as the subalterns shouted the order down the lines. Well-trained, the regulars did as they were told. As the troopers back slowly to the walls and open plain beyond, the sun broke the horizon in an angry red line below the lowering storm clouds. That light will not help us, thought Thorongil.
Across the plain came a silvery call on the oppressive air. The horn winded again. Thorongil looked back across the Pelennor. The Minas Tirith troops led by the Steward's son charged; their armor appeared stained with blood in the fell light. Denethor's white banner and the white tree emblazoned on his surcoat turned scarlet.
Thorongil backed his men through the gates and out onto the plain, forming them quickly into a line. The orcs, overconfident, followed eagerly after their prey. Horses charged past Thorongil and into the orcs. He ordered his men back into the fray. The tide of battle swung and the orcs grew desperate, unwilling to flee from death back to whatever unspeakable horror their dark master would deal out for such a defeat.
Suddenly Thorongil saw a big, yellow-skinned orc hurl a spear that brought down Denethor's horse. As the man fell, a swarm of orcs immediately covered him. Thorongil fought his way to the Steward's Heir. The desperate man held his sword defensively above his head to fend off blows. His helmet was gone; already blood ran into his eyes. A ringing blow knocked the sword from his hand. Denethor watched the grinning, sharp-fanged orc scream 'You die!' in the Common Tongue and swing his blade down. The Steward's heir waited to feel it buried between his eyes. But, steel rang on steel as the blade was thrust aside and the orc skewered on a long sword. A Ranger stood above him, looking grim and terrible.
"Not this day!" he answered the dead orc. Thorongil pulled Denethor up. The troopers were dispatching the last of the orcs and a cheer of "Denethor!" rang out as they saw their commander on his feet. One of his Rangers answered with "Thorongil!" and the Gondorian troopers wildly cheered the captain who had saved their leader.
"You arrived just in time, my lord," Thorongil said, his hand steadying Denethor.
"You, friend, are the timely one. Who do I have to thank for my life?" The stern son of the Steward looked into eyes so like his own, failing to recognize the man he had sent to Ithilien five years before.
"I am Thorongil, a captain of the Ithilien Rangers, but you owe me no thanks."
"Mae Govannen, Captain." The Elvish courtesy surprised Thorongil. Denethor swayed a little and Thorongil propped him up with his shoulder, helping him to the garrison office. The commander, once away from the troops, paled, and collapsed trembling into a chair. Thorongil tended Denethor's head wound himself, sending one of his men back to his room for his pack of supplies.
"A healer as well as a warrior?" Denethor asked, sometime later, sipping the cup of hot tea Thorongil had steeped from a packet of Imladris herbs.
Thorongil shrugged. "So are the ways of a Ranger." Denethor looked at him curiously, sure he knew the man.
"Are you part of my Northern kin? You have the look of the High Blood about you, but you are unfamiliar to me; you cannot be one of the sons of the Gondor noble houses." Thorongil shook his head but did not reply. Denethor accepted he was not getting an answer. "Whatever your lineage, I am beholden to you. You are a brave and able leader. You are wasting your time skulking about in the wild as a Ranger. I need you in the city."
"I do what the Steward commands." Thorongil knew then Denethor did not recognize him.
* * * *Later in the afternoon, Denethor rode back to the city, leaving most of his troop to reinforce the garrison. A detachment had piled orc carcasses and begun the burning; a column of oily black smoke rose on the breezeless air. Denethor left one of his staff officers as commander of the garrison freeing Thorongil from that duty. So, early the next day, he was out on the south road, looking for Salatenor and his men. After a long and cautious search, he found the missing Rangers near the crossroads to Minas Morgul. The carrion birds showed him the way. They had been killed, taken unawares, and their bodies had been desecrated. His Rangers buried the remains and Thorongil thought of another pair of letters he must write to Salatenor's lovely lady and his doting parents in Lossernach. The captain sighed and held to the belief that if he did not have it in his nature to befriend his fellow soldiers and meet their families, he would be spared much pain.
When he solemnly rode into Osgiliath late in the day, a message awaited Thorongil in the commander's office. He broke the Steward's seal on the dispatch packet and read his orders. He was to return to Minas Tirith with all speed. The document was his promotion to commander and reassignment to the City Guards, effective immediately.

Closing the energy work force gap through dynamic partnerships
Blog Entry:
March 29, 2013 4:30 AM | Author: BILL HAGSTRAND
William E. Hagstrand
serves as a Senior Consultant for NorTech and is responsible for driving engagement in cluster opportunities from inception to successful completion. This includes identifying and cultivating potential opportunities for participating organizations and recruiting organizations to the advanced energy cluster.
Amidst news of persistently high unemployment rates, one fact rarely makes headlines these days: We have a talent shortage in the U.S. The advanced energy industry in Northeast Ohio is not immune to this problem, but several initiatives in the region are working to close the gap.
Intriguing results from the
2012 ManpowerGroup Talent Shortage Survey
illustrate a gap between workforce skills and industry needs. The survey reveals that "49 percent of U.S. employers are experiencing difficulty filling mission-critical positions within their organizations. " Two of the 10 most difficult jobs to fill are skilled trades and engineers. Employers cite lack of available applicants and lack of experience as some of the reasons for the deficit.
The successes of the advanced energy initiatives in our region depend on qualified employees and suppliers. Just as critical are the roles industry and academia must play in order to close the workforce gaps in Northeast Ohio. Many companies and educators are becoming more proactive as leaders and advocates to fulfill immediate growth objectives and to develop a sustainable, regional economic ecosystem that benefits employers and employees in the long term.
An initiative led by regional energy companies and supported by
Lorain County Community College (LCCC)
is focused on building an energy workforce strategy for Northeast Ohio. LCCC is working with industry leaders and a Talent Consortium to develop a career pathway framework. Partners in this initiative include Columbia Gas, Dominion, Cleveland Public Power and First Energy. These established utilities have reached out to forge new collaborations with non-traditional energy companies, such as Quasar Energy Group, LG Fuel Cell Systems and Vadxx.
The energy consortium facilitated by LCCC is driving to develop an efficient system created by collaboration rather than each company developing workforce efforts on its own. The knowledge of the group creates the capability to apply what is learned to specific challenges. The
Arizona Sun Corridor Consortium
is an example of a developed group working to train trade-impacted workers and other adults for high-skill, high-wage employment in advanced energy.
Energy workforce development initiatives are timely for the region. The Advanced Energy Economy Ohio July 2012 report,
"Employment in Ohio's Advanced Energy Industry "
, states that Ohio is home to a robust and diverse advanced energy industry with over 25,000 employees in over 400 companies. Universal challenges include talent development and an aging workforce. Advanced energy companies are discovering that they share development needs with traditional utilities. The goal is to define the broad energy workforce requirements of the region as a whole, rather than thinking of these needs in silos.
The Northeast Ohio consortium is working with design guidance from
The Center for Energy Workforce Development (CEWD)
, which has developed a nationally recognized
"Get Into Energy"
career pathway initiative. CEWD consists of electric, natural gas, and nuclear utilities and their associations. The groups have developed a model of working together to develop solutions for the forecasted workforce shortage in the utility industry, and share best practices and tools to reach target audiences.
Terri Burgess Sandu, Director of the Entrepreneurship Innovation Institute and Executive Director of Workforce Development at Lorain County Community College, is deeply committed to energy workforce development.
"We're talking about energy careers for adults as well as getting information out to students, parents and teachers. There are great careers to be had in the energy sector, right here in our community. Key to this is giving individuals opportunities, skills and exposure to a variety of options, whether it's in wind, shale, utilities, the supply chain or even starting their own business," she says.
There are other entities in the region that are working together to close workforce gaps. Stark State College offers a fuel cell technology major and works directly with LG Fuel Cell Systems to fill internships within that company. It's a win-win situation for both the students and for LG Fuel Cell Systems. The students gain real world experience while the company gains the work and knowledge of interns trained specifically in fuel cell technology.
Workforce development is most effective if it's not created in a vacuum. The partnerships and alliances built between industry leaders, higher education and non-profit partners are striving to address the common needs for a skilled workforce in the energy, advanced energy and energy–impacted sectors. The collaboration to align the supply and demand for talent in Northeast Ohio can result in tools and strategies that have a highly positive effect on our long-term economy and employment outlook.

At Zirbelstube gourmet restaurant in the legendary Colombi Hotel in Freiburg , Alfred Klink serves up perfectly crafted, contemporary cuisine.
Alfred Klink is an institution in German gastronomy – for years he has been creating enormously influential cuisine at Zirbelstube gourmet restaurant, although over time he has also carefully updated his style. Rather than structural works of art on the plate, Klink favours clear, often very elaborate dishes with complex flavours that are based on classic techniques. Klink's precision is legendary, so it is no surprise that many of today's top chefs honed their skills under him at the Zirbelstube.
His starters allow him to demonstrate his meticulous craftsmanship and elaborate different aspects of the main ingredient, for example in his sublime veal sweetbread, calf's head and tartare with marinated root vegetables and caper-chive vinaigrette. The inherent sour notes imperceptibly bind the various veal elements together but leave them free to express their individuality. Klink's goose liver terrine is a must, as are his dishes with bold, complex sauces, such as the calf kidney ragout in cassis-mustard seed sauce with pointed cabbage and roast onion purée – which is supremely delicious and intense. The food, a superb wine list and the Colombi Hotel's impeccable service combine to make Zirbelstube by far the best restaurant in south Baden.

You have heard a lot about essential oils and hair loss. For years now, you have been trying to desperately grow your tresses, but it may already be due to your genes why your mane takes a long time to regrow. You have tried a lot of products and treatments, but the results were superficial. You want something that will last and produce a great effect, hence you are serious in finding out more about essential oils and hair growth.
First and foremost, do not confuse mineral oils and essential oils. There are a lot of hair care products that contain mineral oils, which are synthetic elements that act as preservatives. Mineral oils are derived from petroleum sources. These can clog the pores of your skin, making it hard for your skin to get rid of toxins. As a result, you will not see tremendous effects in terms of hair growth and the products may also have negative effects on your tresses and skin in the long run.
Switch to Essential Oils and Hair Growth Products
It is best that you try out the oils and hair growth products first before continuing with its use. This way, you can test if you are allergic to any of these natural oils and also to find out which one will work best for the type of tresses that you have.
To help you decide which products to use, here's a list of the top essential oils that are beneficial for your mane.
1. Lavender Essential Oil. This is typically grown in places with temperate climates. The oil was used by ancient practitioners in treating and preventing baldness, as well as in growing the tresses. This is effective because of its antibacterial elements that can help in treating scalp problems. When it reaches the hair shaft, the oil works its wonders in getting rid of dandruff and in eliminating the dryness of the skin.
You can use the infused oil in massaging your head and scalp nightly. Its scent has a calming effect, which can help you sleep soundly. When you wake up in the morning, use an organic shampoo in washing your locks. Towel dry your hair before styling and avoid using a blow dryer or any products that utilize heat such as curlers and irons. Lavender oil can add volume to your hair with continued use.
If you have time, you can also make your own lavender water and use this in rinsing your tresses every day. To do this, you need to boil some sprigs of the plant in water, simmer for around 20 minutes and cool. The combination of the oil and water will make your hair shiny, your scalp healthy and your mane smelling really good.
2. Jojoba Essential Oil. Aside from its effectiveness in supporting hair growth, the reason why this can be found in many essential oils and hair growth products, this is also known for giving moisture to the tresses. Its molecular characteristics can be likened to the oil that the glands in the scalp naturally produce. Unlike many essential oils, which need to be diluted in carrier oils before using, jojoba oil can be directly applied to the hair and scalp. Actually, this is used as a carrier oil for many essential oils and hair growth products. This kind of oil is hypoallergenic, so it won't harm your scalp, skin and mane.
3. Rosemary Essential Oil. This can be used to grow your tresses and to delay the process of developing gray hair. This helps the scalp by improving its blood circulation. You can mix a few drops of this oil with olive oil and use the result in massaging the scalp. The leaves of rosemary can be boiled, simmered and cooled to produce water that you can use in rinsing your locks. The practice can help in retaining the natural color of your tresses. This is popularly practiced by people with black hair.

70's REVIVAL WEEK: LIGHTING
posted by Dolly on 2010.10.03, under Seventies Style
While perusing some of my favorite sites for home furnishings, I've noticed an influx of brand new 1960′s and 1970′s-inspired designs. Sure, you can purchase authentic vintage goods, but they usually come with a not-so-vintage price tag. I'll be posting my finds of  super affordable modern vintage looks this week!
Overhead lighting can ruin the look of a gorgeous room, so consider a floor lamp with multiple movable lights to highlight your favorite decor.  Today's 70′s find is this Round Head Chrome Tree Lamp from Target, $79.99 and free shipping.

The tricky territory of truancy
Thursday, February 14, 2013
A couple of years ago, RSA 189, the state law that deals with truancy, was made stricter, and truancy became defined as 10 half days of unexcused absence, whereas before it had been 20 half days.
Again, we quote from the advisory, to indicate that Rochester's moves to rein in truancy, are neither hasty, isolated nor persecutory: "In the two years that the legislature spent studying the issue of truancy in the public school system, the emphasis was on creating a balanced public policy. While the policy should provide school administrators and truant officers the authority needed to reduce and prevent truancy, districts should be both sensitive and reasonable in considering requests for absences to be excused.
As reporter Samantha Allen details on our Page 1 story, summonses were recently issued to a number of parents and guardians, and on Monday they had their first day in district court — except for the one who failed to show up. Four parents have now agreed to take part in a diversion program, along with their children, and we, along with everyone involved, hope that this proves effective and curative. Two other parents have elected to go to trial.
Thus, while we should not persecute the parents of students who do not attend school, we should not shrink from prosecuting them, albeit with the least amount of vigor necessary to bring families into compliance. If it takes a village to get a kid to go to school, so be it.

This candle is about as close as most will ever come to taking a sniff inside Sir Elton John's Woodside gardens. The floral fragrance was inspired by the botanical arrangements kept in his gardens in Old Windsor, England. The scent is lush and sophisticated with hyacinth meeting rose and jasmine, and blended together by the masterful creators at NEST Fragrances. And as a bonus, proceeds from sales benefit the Elton John AIDS Foundation.
Full of photography by Jonathan Leder and words by Jacq Frances (all under the art direction of Amy Hood), Bang! Volume 1 is a darkly cinematic NSFW zine. Exploring beauty, sexuality and "the fantasy of the female at its climax," the publication is retro-tinged and has a seemingly lo-fi charm, but it's thoroughly thought-out and entirely engaging.
Closca won the prestigious Red Dot Design Award this year with its Fuga helmet. Not only is the Fuga safety-certified in Europe, Canada and the States, the helmet is super-convenient. The thin-shell design folds down—reducing its own space by 50%—meaning it can easily be stored in a backpack or tote bag without becoming cumbersome. Now there are really no excuses to leave the helmet at home.
The hand-sculpted Logitech MX Master wireless mouse was made with ergonomic comfort in mind. Its shape was meticulously moulded for comfort, while the laser sensor makes it usable on even the glossiest surfaces, and in just four minutes it can be charged for a full day's use. This gadget truly blends comfort with functionality.
Brooklyn-based Aelfie Oudghiri offers up plenty of playful designs through her cushions and rugs, but our favorite is this 16"x16" "Cool Bananas" pillow. The three sunglasses-wearing bananas hand-embroidered on the pale blue fabric bring a dash of color, humor and fun to any room.
Brooklyn-based Upstate makes tie-dye utterly covetable and sophisticated with their new summer collection. Mixing shibori hand-dye techniques with marbling and digital printing, the made-in-USA brand offers kaleidoscopic sarongs, culottes and dip-dyed sweatshirts. Their vibrant Mandarin-collared Maria silk button down dress will be turning heads at any rooftop barbecue this season—and no two will look exactly the same.
In complete contrast to the cheap, mass-produced plastic speakers that clutter the aisles at convenience stores are the unique crafted pieces by Salvage Audio. Each of their Bluetooth speakers are handmade in California from reclaimed wood that has a story: whether it used to be a family's redwood fence or secondhand pine shipping boxes. Even when the music stops, the speakers are just beautiful works of design to rest your eyes on.
From Georgia Perry's newest collection of enamel pins comes the Larry David. Perfectly capturing David's trademark furrowed brow and unimpressed expression, Perry's pin is 30mm by 30mm and packaged in a protective bio-degradable cello sleeve—ready to be placed on your favorite bag or lapel to show the world just how awkward everything is.
As it's made from 100% French flax linen, bedding from Australia's Scottie Store is not only ultra-comfortable, but far more breathable than other sheets due to its loose weave. Available in Queen or King, these chambray and stone-colored sheets will appeal to denim lovers and enthusiasts of subtle but interesting design.
One of the best loved and commonly used emoji—the smiley poop—has been made into a bottle opener by designers Eric Ho and Kostika Spaho and the team at 3D printing service and marketplace, Shapeways. Available in a rainbow of colors as well as a range metallics, our pick is the perfectly ironic brushed gold.
Swimwear brand Onia is gradually dipping its toes into everyday apparel—and their Shaw Technical Jacket checks all the boxes. Made from the same high-performing fabric as their swim shorts, the cotton-nylon jacket is lined with sturdy but soft mesh, has an abundance of pockets, and is super packable.
Unlined and made from natural leathers, this minimalist lavender backpack boasts brass hardware and a zippered internal pocket. With adjustable straps, this bag (also available in nude or pale blue) is both functional and femme.
From the independent Melbourne-based designer's SOAK collection is this sweet "ear jacket," a delicate attachment that can be added to any stud-style earring. Essentially acting as a back for a stud, this three-pronged treat is adorned with starbursts.
NYC-based artist and designer John Derian, best known for his nature and vintage-inspired découpage pieces, has collaborated with Parisian ceramics brand Astier de Villatte for a match made in heaven, as they both draw inspiration from "things forgotten." One of the highlights among the handmade collection of candles, vases, tableware and more is this beautifully glazed terracotta apple plate. Revisit our interview with Derian in our CH Video archive.
Brooklyn artist collective EXOvault has become known for their steampunk iPhone cases, as they're not afraid to play with aluminum, brass or titanium. Now they've launched their first eyewear design, which they manufacture themselves. A closer look at the frame shows the grooves of the machining marks—evidence of the process involving around 500,000 individual cuts into a solid block of metal. Both unique and understated, the Kingsland frame comes in various metallic shades, but we fell in love with the gold.
Following his enthralling 2014 TED Talk, Marc Kushner of Architizer has crafted the latest addition to the TED Books library. To explore how media influences architecture around the world Kushner focuses on 100 high-concept structures, ranging from an inflatable concert hall to a smog-eating hospital. Ultimately the 176-page hardcover shows how an informed society has joined the conversation concerning how buildings can best serve the social and ecological environments that surround them.
Inspired by her childhood surrounded by stunning and rare artworks and objects, Turkish designer Begüm Kiroglu's affinity with the Ottoman style and all things Istanbul is echoed in these cufflinks. The opulent accessories boast plenty of sapphires, are handmade in Istanbul and will no doubt be a conversation-starter at any event.

Traces changes in P&G's international strategy and structure, culminating in Organization 2005, a reorganization that places strategic emphasis on product innovation rather than geographic expansion and shifts power from local subsidiary to global business management. In the context of these changes introduced by Durk Jager, P&G's new CEO, Paolo de Cesare is transferred to Japan, where he takes over the recently turned-around beauty care business. Within the familiar Max Factor portfolio he inherits is SK-II, a fast-growing, highly profitable skin care product developed in Japan. Priced at over $100 a bottle, this is not a typical P&G product, but its successful introduction in Taiwan and Hong Kong has de Cesare thinking the brand has global potential. As the case closes, he is questioning whether he should take a proposal to the beauty care global business unit to expand into Mainland China and/or Europe.
learning objective:
To examine the role of MNC's global network not only as providing access to markets but as sources of innovation--and to study this in the broader context of the links between global strategy and organization.

Mapo Tofu
Mapo tofu is a Chinese dish made with tofu and ground meat in a spicy bean sauce. I first made mapo tofu a few months ago and it quickly became one of my favorite dishes. This recipe is easy to make and super tasty. I really like the flavour of the fermented black bean sauce. You can make this dish as spicy as you want by adding or removing chili sauce. The tofu adds a nice contrasting texture and it seems to be almost cool and refreshing compared to the spiciness of the rest of the dish.
1 pound ground pork
1 teaspoon sesame oil
1 clove garlic (chopped)
1 teaspoon ginger (grated)
1 tablespoon black bean sauce
1 tablespoon chili sauce (such as sambal oelek)
2 tablespoons soy sauce
3 tablespoons chicken stock
1 pound firm tofu (cut into 1/2 inch cubes)
1 bunch green onions (chopped)
1. Brown pork in an pan and drain fat.
2. Heat the oil in the pan.
3. Add the garlic and ginger and saute in the oil for a minute.
4. Add black bean paste, chili sauce, soy sauce, and chicken stock and simmer for 3-4 minutes.
5. Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning.
6. Add the tofu and cook until the tofu is warm. (Stir gently so as to not break the tofu.)
7. Serve and garnish with green onion.

"The customer service was excellent. I received my order within a good time frame and I was very happy with the cards and the packaging."
"This card is gorgeous. Appreciated being able to personalize it and select color theme. Excellent quality. I do wish the print at bottom (off the black) had been a bit darker. The RSVP was a tad bit difficult to read."
"I am hosting a bridal shower in a local pub and this invitation was perfect for the occasion. The design team handled all my changes easily. I removed the times from the two circles because I thought it was confusing. I added the registry and hostesses names to the back side. I chose the pearl shimmer finish with regular corners. It turned out perfectly. Utilize the designer review and you can't go wrong."
"I chose your basic vintage floral design, because it looked as if it was painted. The pearlized background was beautiful. The overall design needed a few changes to make it our own. I changed fonts and where the underline was. I also had a design placed on back with the bride and grooms names. When I received the digital design to review within a couple days, it was perfect. All changes were beautiful. I approved the order and received it within the week. Again, they were beautiful - very high quality. I am going to have my daughter order her wedding invitations here as well. Thanks again. One more thing off my list!!"
"The bridal shower invites arrived super fast and the bride loved them!!!! They matched the roaring twenties theme perfectly. We didn't have to customize them much they were perfect on their own."

We asked Kevin Pendergast, Head of School at The Kildonan School, what a parent should look for when visiting a potential school for their child with learning disabilities and what aspects of a school help a child with LD thrive.
What should a parent look for when visiting a potential school for their child with a learning disability?
They should be looking for whether or not the staff at the school cares more about the individual student ahead of the program. When parents visit a school and ask questions, they should see if the school staff is talking about the program or asking about the individual student. Are they saying things like 'Everyone at the school receives the same kind of education' or are they making it clear that in their program and services they individualize the educational experience for each student? Are they paying attention to what happens to the student outside of the six or eight hours of academics? Is the school staff providing services and making sure it has the training to insure the child is educated and that the whole student is being addressed? The right school should not just focus on the weaknesses of the student, but the strengths and talents as well.
What advice do you have for parents concerned about transitioning their child with learning disabilities into a new school?
Parents should do a lot of research to look at whether the school their child is transitioning to places the individual needs of the student at the highest priority.
I would also advise parents, if transitioning to a boarding school, that they look at if there is a summer boarding program held at the school. Try that program first so the student and family grow familiar with what it means for a student to live away from home. I advise students to take advantage of any counseling that is available through the school for kids who are making that difficult transition. Even if they are going to be a day student, it can be very helpful to obtain counseling for kids.
Also, take advantage of residential life programming at the school. Kildonan has a transitioning program where students are able to discuss, think about, and process difficult issues that come up in the life of an adolescent with learning disabilities—issues of self-esteem, bullying, or substance abuse. The resident life program directs these concerns and allows students to talk about them openly.
I also advise parents to talk to other parents who have already made the transition at the new school. We have found here that it is very valuable for parents to talk to other parents who have already been through the same transition process. A school staff is going to be reassuring to parents, but it's more meaningful and often more helpful for a new parent to talk to an existing parent.
What factors contribute to making a student with LD who is struggling in one school thrive in another?
The first objective is to do an assessment of the student to see exactly his or her skills and to make sure that the curriculum that is developed at the new school is perfectly tailored to the needs of that student making the transition. A big factor is how individualized the education is in the new setting. If it is just as systematic as the educational offering at the previous setting, that student is not going to find success in the new setting. For the transition to succeed, the new setting must offer a truly individualized education.
Another factor is a lot of communication between the parent and school staff. The more the school knows about the student, the more the school is communicating with the family and professionals that have worked with the student before. If the school can provide its best effort, then the students are going to have a greater experience. Overall, the three key factors that contribute are assessment, individualization, and communication. One aspect that impacts a positive change is a qualified, well trained, knowledgeable, caring, intelligent teaching faculty. That is the difference between a successful experience versus not successful. Another aspect is a program that provides opportunities for a student to discover his or her own unique talent and strengths.
Kevin Pendergast is Headmaster at The Kildonan School in Amenia, NY. He received a BA in English from SUNY Albany, a master's degree in English language and literature from Fordham University, and a JD from Case Western Reserve University School of Law.
