Solar firm Silevo comes out of stealth with $33M
- Staff Portland Business Journal
Silicon + evolution = Silevo.
Silevo Inc. is formally coming out of stealth mode on Wednesday, or a company's period of temporary secrecy, where it has been under cover since 2007. The Fremont-based company was formerly known as Sierra Solar Power and was founded by two former Applied Materials employees, CTO Jianming Fu and CEO Zheng Xu.
"It was born Sierra Solar Power, and we didn't really have any ties to the Sierras, even though they imply a green environment," said Chris Beitel, the company's vice president of business development and marketing regarding the name change.
The U.S. Delaware company decided, just before the Solar Power International 2011 trade show in Dallas this week, that it was ready to publicly announce what it has been hiding all these years, in an exclusive interview with the Silicon Valley/San Jose Business Journal.
It also recently raised $33 million in funding from China-based New Margin Ventures, along with existing investors China-based GSR Ventures, which invests in early and growth stage tech companies with substantial operations in China, and DT Capital Partners, which is based in China and has an office in Menlo Park.

Hotels in Florida
Florida is known as the go-to place to vacation, so Florida hotels certainly live up to the standard. Rent a beach condo in the Panhandle, a cottage in the Keys, or go all-out at a luxury high-rise in Miami. For a luxury experience outside of the buzzing city streets, try The Breakers in Palm Beach. The hotel offers high-end amenities, with two 18-hole golf courses, snorkeling right off the beach property, and four pools to cool off in. Their spa is also famous, and the hotel offers childcare and children's activities as well. Hotels in Florida are known for their great ocean views. Eden Roc Miami Beach is no exception. The resort echoes old 1950's charm and its updated renovations make it one of the best luxury spots in the area. It sports an infinity-edge pool and oceanfront views in many suites. Cheeca Lodge and Spa has six tennis courts, a huge private beach and its own fishing pier. Its luxury amenities and its own saltwater lagoon for snorkeling make it an ideal place to stay in the Florida Keys. You'll find just what you need with the variety of hotels in Florida.
A former vacation retreat of William Vanderbilt II, Fisher Island is now home to a 45-room luxury resort, set amid one of the nation's most exclusive residential communities.
Formerly the Celebration Hotel.
Overlooking Downtown's marina on Sarasota Bay, just across the Ringling Causeway from the city's charming theater and dining district, the towering Mediterranean-style hotel—housed on the first eight floors—is a great choice for couples, business travelers, and families.
Even after serving as the backdrop for countless fashion-magazine photo shoots, the Moorings Village & Spa— 18 brightly accented cottages connected to the beach by wooden walkways on a former coconut plantation in the Florida Keys—still seems like your own secret discovery.
The property has a fishing-themed setup that includes on-site barbecues to cook up fresh catches, and a raft of slips. Rooms are comfy, but unremarkable.
The rooms at this haunted hotel, which dates back to the 1920's, are without frills, but they're almost secondary to a stay here.
No need to lift a finger when an army of attendants is ready to serve your every need at this nifty waterfront resort near Jacksonville.
Situated along South Beach's famous Ocean Drive, The Betsy is one of Miami's premier beachfront boutique hotels. With its expansive four-column portico and signature shuttered windows, the Georgian building stands out among its Art Deco neighbors.
This pyramid-shaped resort on 1,500 acres underwent a $65 million renovation in 2009.
Just a four-minute stroll from Epcot's side entrance, this 583-room resort is the closest hotel to a Disney park entry.

There's a dead man in Miki St. John's vintage Pontiac GTO, and he has no idea how it got there.
After Miki survives the tragic accident that killed his best friend and the other members of their band, Sinner's Gin, all he wants is to hide from the world in the refurbished warehouse he bought before their last tour. But when the man who sexually abused him as a boy is killed and his remains are dumped in Miki's car, Miki fears death isn't done with him yet.
Kane Morgan, the SFPD inspector renting space in the art co-op next door, initially suspects Miki had a hand in the man's murder, but Kane soon realizes Miki is as much a victim as the man splattered inside the GTO. As the murderer's body count rises, the attraction between Miki and Kane heats up. Neither man knows if they can make a relationship work, but despite Miki's emotional damage, Kane is determined to teach him how to love and be loved - provided, of course, Kane can catch the killer before Miki becomes the murderer's final victim.

"Tristan James Brings This Book To Life"
As the author of this book, I wanted to give a HUGE thank you to Tristan James' work in this narration. His voices for the individual characters was perfect and I thoroughly enjoyed his reading. I have heard nothing but positive reviews from my readers on his performance so thank you so much!
I was so excited this came out in audio. I loved this book and loved the audio version. The narrator is very good, complete with an Irish brogue. He also brought emotion to the story, which was great. A great love story and murder mystery. I hope the sequel also comes out with the same narrator.
"Wonderful begining..."
It ranks up there, I was about to stop buying M/M romance because I was tired of the same...This was not the same ole, same ole. It was a little Josh Lanyon, meets Cardeno C.
I loved the narrator, please, please, do not change the narrator midway through the series. I am hoping you will be consistent in this series. He did such a good job with the Irish accents, and transitioned between all the characters without sounding exaggerated. Even his female voices were believable.
My favorite character was Miki St John.
I did not have an extreme reaction, but I definitely had a surprised and pleasant reaction. It did make me laugh, though.
Must listen to the next in the series.
"Even better than reading the story"
I enjoyed reading Sinner's Gin when it was first released. This narrative by Tristan James is excellent because the he conveys the different characters' voices so well, especially of course the Irish accents of the entire Morgan family, from Kane and his brothers, to his father Donal. I heartily reccommend this audio book to others.
Even more important to me is, this well-delivered narrative brought Rhys Ford's prose alive and listening to it reveals more of the structure of the story. I have gotten too impatient when I find a well-written story, and I have to force myself to slow down and enjoy it. Narratives force one to not skip a word, and this one inspires me to go back and re-read the story.
Whyskey and Rye, which I did not enjoy reading quite as much as Sinner's Gin, will be my next audio purchase, just because it is done by the same narrator. And I count on the audio version to again reveal to my ears the suble aspects of the story landscape that my greedy eyes may have skipped in my first read.
Rhys Ford is a very talented story teller and writer, and I am glad to see this author choosing a narrator worthy of her efforts.
"1st Ford book to listen to and not the last!"
Yes, great characters, keeps your interest throughout the whole book, never a boring part.
When Miki kicked the crap out of his stalker!
Great voices, even the Irish
"Tristan James is a fabulous narrator!"
Sinner's Gin is among my favorites right up there with Cut & Run. The story is fabulous and Tristan James is a much better narrator than 99% of what I have listened to.
Every time Miki and Kane are together.
If I have to choose it would be Kane. I could listen to Tristan's voice in Kane's soft Irish brogue forever.
This story made me laugh AND cry but that's what helps make it a good book for me.
"Enjoyed Sinner's Gin! Love the Irish Accent!"
The Irish Accent and of course the story.
Every scene, I loved this book but not as much as the Cole McGinnis books. I can't wait to hear them in audio.
All of the book moved me.
"Triumph over your past is never easy"
The subject matter is a little dark, and moving past it for Micki is tough. I loved the book and it's well worth the credit. I've just bought the second in the series.
"The Rocker & the Detective make a great pair"
This one was actually pretty good on audio. I liked the narrator's "Kane" accent the most.
Miki St. John was a singer in the rock band "Sinner's Gin". One night, on the way home from a music awards show, the group's limosine collided with an 18-wheeler, killing all the group members except Miki. While Miki is recuperating from his accident, he found out the guy who used to sexually abuse him was murdered. The murder investigation was led by Miki's neighbor, detective Kane Morgan.
Detective Morgan had Miki on the top of his suspect list and someone went through a lot of trouble to make it look like Miki was involved. But during the course of the investigation, Kane began to get to know Miki, more sexual abuse was revealed and soon they were in a race to save Miki from the real perpretrator of the crimes. Miki had been let down by a lot of people so he had difficulty trusting people, but Kane was determined to show him that him and his family would have his back. Kane also wanted to show Miki that he cared for Miki and wouldn't use him. It wasn't easy, but they forged a relationship.
I really liked Kane's dysfunctional family, and I like how Kane handled Miki. I sure wish we had gotten more than the prologue when it got to Miki and Damien, because that was awesome how they were two peas in a pod. But Kane was consistent, true and kind of funny. If anyone would show Miki the meaning of steadfast, surely it was Kane. Kane and Miki worked, and the family dynamic is exactly what Miki needed after witnessing the worst in foster families
"One of the best narrators I've heard, great story"
So, first off the story is good, but the narrator is better. He brought the story to life. Sometimes its hard for me to differentiate between characters when listening to audiobooks but I had no problem this time. When there are similar accents they can often blur together but Tristan James did an excellent job without having to identify each person speaking. I put him in the same category as Scott Brick who is always a delight to listen to.
"Sinner's Gin: A Romantic and Enchanting Love story"
I would definitely do recommend this to a friend (have already done so). I believe that the book is beautiful as it has the right amount of sex and romance in it. The 2 man slowly built up their relationship with great care especially from Kane's part which leads into passionate sex scenes and the amazing plot being slowly revealed! It kept me hooked up every second!
When Kane made Miki to open up and talk to him about his past. Then he started crying in Kane's lab ;~~~~~~;
I died at the bit where Miki said to Kane "Please take off your clothes, cause... U know no one has done this before and for me it means that you will be staying" and then Kane takes off his clothes and he is like "Take a good look Miki love cause I am staying".... *intense screaming*
Miki Love~
The narrator was awesome I love the Irish accent :Q_____ off to the next book~
"Just Fabulous"
I fell I love with this story, my first by Rhys Ford, but not my last. The narration by Tristan James is superb, couldn't be bettered. On to Whisky & Wry now.

Must-try desserts at Long Island restaurants
They may come last in line, but desserts always rank toward the top in our hearts.
Sometimes, it's the unique twists we crave, while at other times, it's the classics that most satisfy. Fortunately, LI is filled with restaurants taking both creative and straightforward approaches to sweet finishes.
All of these recommendations, from Peter M. Gianotti, Joan Reminick and Erica Marcus, are sure bets.

Italian-style strawberry shortcake, Claudio's Ristorante(Credit: Newsday / Erica Marcus)
Each table at Claudio's Ristorante in Glen Cove receives a gratis starter of cheese, salami, olives, bruschetta and white anchovies. You'll be OK with paying for their dessert of cream, puff pastry and strawberries that adds up to a sort of Italian strawberry shortcake ($8).
Chocolate cream pie, Mara's Homemade(Credit: Barbara Alper)
Chef Mara Levi's chocolate cream pie ($8) at Mara's Homemade in Syosset is an irresistible, irrepressible, homey testament to unfussy flavors: lush, dark chocolate mousse in an Oreo cookie crust, all crowned with freshly whipped cream.
Warm cinnamon doughnuts, The Lake House(Credit: Doug Young)
Eileen and Matthew Connors run the charming, inviting The Lake House at the edge of Lawrence Lake in Bay Shore. Conclude with warm cinnamon doughnuts served with a dollop of dulce de leche and a cup of Mexican hot chocolate ($8).

Pumpkin tiramisu, Fargiano's Pizza & Pasta(Credit: Newsday / Joan Reminick)
Chef Richard Desmond of Fargiano's Pizza & Pasta in East Islip aces dessert. His pumpkin tiramisu (pictured) with drifts of freshly whipped cream is boozy, airy and autumnal. Also irresistible: apple caramel bread pudding, and black and white chocolate torte.

It's worth visiting the new Old Fields branch in Port Jefferson just for the bread pudding. Yes, the bread pudding, topped with vanilla ice cream. And be sure to have a milkshake.

With a marketing and R&D budget of $100 million and a name that evokes a "natural, homey recipe rather than diet food," Dreyer's new Slow Churned line aspires to be what Bud Light is to beer. The line is made through a proprietary process involving lower temperatures and higher pressure that gives fat molecules greater surface area and, thus, a creamier texture. Higher costs from this different manufacturing process are offset by lower volumes of milk and cream, enabling a retail price at parity with the regular full fat variety.

The most comprehensive SMS management tool which gives you an option to do what you always wanted to do.
Some of the things which it enables you to do!!
1. Filter all the incoming messages and Move/Copy them to a folder
2. Create/Delete user folders.
3. Hide private messages.
4. Automatically delete messages.
5. Archive messages and store in a date-wise folders.
6. Apply rules either automatically or manually.
7. Apply some rules automatically and some manually.
8. Contact and Message content based filtering.
9. Low on memory and battery. No background process to monitor SMS.
10. View and delete created rules. Silly to mention it.
11. Simple Deployment and easy interface. works from storage Card.
This was developed with the help of open source project MAPIDotNet .
Needs .NET CF 3.5
Using and Configuring SMSRules
1. All rules are configured through CreateRules GUI in program shortcut.
2. Initial Password also needs to be configured through Createrules GUI (about tab->personal->show)
3. AutoRun, Manual filtering of user folders, Archiving all done through CreateRules GUI.
4. After setting up rules you can use Runrules to filter SMSes.
5. After setting up initial password you can use PrivateSMS app to show hide PRIVATE folder.
The PRIVATE folder will be shown/Created automatically in WM SMS app(tmail)(will automatically open on providing correct password), you need to go and look into the folders to see your SMSes.
1>How to autorun the rules?
To autorun a rule/rules autorun option should be checked in the main menu. auto run run only those rules which have auto option selected.
2>Can I create/delete folders using this?
yes, but you can only create and delete the user folders in SMS account
3>Will copy option copy every time it is run?
No, copy option will copy the message into destination folder and mark the copied message as read at both places. so only unread message will be copied.
4>What folder to select with delete option?
you can select any folder as the message is finally going to be deleted so it wont matter(better option is to chose "deleted items" as it is easy to view in rules view)
5>What is HIDE option!(EDIT)
this option can only be used for now in contacts page.
V3.1>If a message comes from the user it will be deleted from the inbox and saved inside the application. also autorun should be enabled for this feature to work.
V4.1>From v4.1 messages are moved to a hidden folder in the Outlook, so basically the messages are still in outlook but u can't see those.
6> Where to look for HIDDEN messages(EDIT)?
to view hidden messages go to about page and there personal menu->show and select the dropdown to select the user for which u want to see the messages.
From v4.1>To see the hidden messages u have to provide correct password and then click on the show private folder button. Doing this will create a new folder(PRIVATE) and will have all the private messages of yours
From v4.3 An extra shortcut has been supplied which will directly allow you to hide/show private smses. But you need to initially set password from the createrules application.
7>Can i delete the hidden messages?
Yes you can. In 3.1 just select and delete the message and from 4.1 delete it like you delete any other message from your outlook.
8>Do i need to create a folder to store a hidden message?
No, there is no need to select any folder name as application will take care of it. and in view rules option you can find your hidden messages rule in folder named as "#".
9>What is this "#" in contact rules folder dropdown?
refer FAQ 8.
10>How frequently will this app be updated?
As frequently as ideas pour in.
11>What is the initial password?
There is no initial password. After installing v3.1/v4.1 opening personal messages will ask you for a password, that will be used automatically in next logins.
Before using the new PrivateSMS shortcut in 4.3 you need to set up a password for use through CreateRules gui.
12>Can I change password?
Yes, when you have created a password and want to change it you can do that by checking the change password checkbox and providing the old and then the new password.
13>I forgot my password, can i recover it?
no, Contact me here for the solution.
NOTE: You have to create a new password from CreateRules link before you try to use the PrivateSMS shortcut.
14>How to install/Uninstall it?
please uncheck autorun before installing/uninstalling.
15> How to hide the PRIVATE folder?
Just close the application or again provide the password and there you can see the same button will have a text prompt to hide the folder.
For PrivateSMS shortcut it will give you an option to hide also, even if you close the application it will automatically hide the folder.
16> How can i Delete all Private messages?
to delete all the hidden messages go to your private area by providing password and there u can click on the delete private messages button, which deletes all the private messages.
17>When i go to my SMS folder i cant see any PRIVATE folder!
PRIVATE folder will be enabled only when u have started the application and clicked the show button after proving the password.
18>Do i need to create a PRIVATE folder first on my own?
No, there is no need to do so as the application will take care of it.
19>So what folder name should i give to HIDE rule?
refer FAQ8
20>Do i need to delete my earlier rules?
No there is no need to so but all the messages which were stored earlier with hide option wont be accessible. if you used 3.1
21>I want to save my earlier rules! what to do?
Just install the application at the same location or copy the rules.db, ur password and all the rules will remain same.
1. Modified the hide logic, now saves the messages in outlook.(Thanks to krups for sharing the idea)
2. Fixed some bugs.
3. Autorun application now won't remain running after a message arrives(saving battery and memory).
Changes in 4.2
1. Autorun option stops wm default notification and provides custom notifications for the rules applied. Unchecking Autorun starts wm notification.(Seems it may toggle threaded mode in some devices. U may try this solution)
2. Contact names are now in order.
3. First Name last name rules now working.
4. One more option added to add wildcard numbers. to match common format numbers.
5. Some minor fixes.
6. Select option to view PRIVATE folder in SMS inbox opens the tmail application automatically.
Changes in 4.3
If 4.2 is installed please first un-check autorun.
1. Horizontal ScrollBar added to add contact list.
2. New Tab added (Tools), gives option to Archive selected folders.
Archiving will move all the messages from the selected folders to the ArchivedSMS folder and create a subdirectory tree with same name as of the source folder and under that will create folders datewise.Eg
Tools tab also provides another option to run the rules over any subfolders.
Select the folder from the dropdown list and then apply rules.
3. New shortcut added in program menu with name "Private SMS" which enables you to access your private folder directly.
NOTE: You have to create a new password from CreateRules link before you try to use the shortcut.
4. The time for which wait cursor was getting displayed when a SMS is intersepted, has been reduced.
5. While changing the password from the main application it asks for the new password two times to confirm.
6. Enabling/Disabling Autorun changes the way the New Text Message is notified. Now this will change the sound and notification settings.
Changes in 4.3a
Modifies the cab to create a folder and keep all the exes shortcuts there.
Added a slider control in PrivateSMS application to fetch number of private smses it should display. Keeping it low will display the last one and maximum will show all.
This was done incase you have alot of Private SMS it used to take time to show them, this option reduces the time by limiting the number of smses you want to see
Changes in 4.4
1. Made custom notification optional, you can now select, to have or not to have a notification displayed when a sms is filtered. You can choose it from Createrules GUI menu.
2. If you have opted to be notified it will display only one notification for all the sms you receive and will have two buttons in notification window, one to close the notification and other to refresh, refresh updates the no of rules completed, incase there were more messages filtered after the first time notification was displayed.
Changes in 4.5
1. Menu modified.
2. Option added for scheduled run(Only at first tab)
3. Control over notification, choose over windows default notification, custom notification and hidden rules notification.
4. One bug fix
Changes in 4.5b
1. Fixed SMS filtering in case filtering was done in Sent items
Changes in 4.6b
1. Size reduced
2. Faster filtering
3. Should Work on threaded mode Finally
Known Bugs: (Thanks to Jibreil)
1. Autorun option wont work in HD2. Is this a fix?
Your Comments are welcome
Plz report bugs....
PLZ TAKE A BACKUP OF YOUR MESSAGES, I DONT WANT TO BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR LOST MESSAGES Just a precaution "Never happened"
PLZ TAKE A BACKUP OF YOUR MESSAGES, I DONT WANT TO BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR LOST MESSAGES Just a precaution "Never happened"
Suggested by: LCyberFox
This app uses the MessageInterceptor APIs (to save battery power) from PocketOutlook which is very buggy. may cause tmail (pocket outlook) to lag or completely freeze if you receive messages quickly back to back.
A post on that:
ps: This *ONLY* applies if you are using this app using the "Auto" mode, if you aren't, then you're safe
Incase you are about to uninstall it PLZ *UNCHECK AUTORUN* or may still lead to some lags.

I can't wait for the expansion but it would be much cooler if it added a new race/class. And a few questions: Are other players going to be able to attack and raid your garrison? What will happen if the players build too many garrisons and then there's no more space? I just hope Blizzard will figure out something.
Can't wait for this, I love the artwork rework (back to the more cartoony feel) and the squish.. Wow will be enjoyable again I think :3
Ok, Thanks!
Looks interesting, but "a chance to win GUNNAR glasses" is more of a threat then a price =)
Seriously looking forward to Garrisons. We asked for player / guild housing instead we get our own miniature cities. Thank you, good god. Thank you.
The Adventure's Guild looks promising.. Can't wait for this Expansion!"Orcs aren't ruling this expansion" - very interesting fact. I wonder what is in store!
I am waiting for a Sisters Windrunner story arc.
I want a reward!
There are just a couple of things I am hoping for. One, a new gathering and two crafting professions based off of it -- and Two, fix greater invisibility for pvp. It should work exactly like a rogue's vanish (giving me that half second of immunity so that it is not instantly broken by an auto-attack) I mean, other than that, the level 100 talents don't seem to be for pvp at all. Focusing crystal is obvious. Arcane ball might have some use as a quick way to launch a few high powered spells in a BG like AV where there can be a lot of players grouped together and prolonged exposure has a few bg applications but if you aren't breaking away from combat in arenas to the point where the talent is moot in any spec, you are going up against some real baddies. So I guess I am also hoping that the level 100 talents will reflect that pvp a bit more (at least one of them).
Excited about the graphics improvement, curious about just how much this revamp will affect the world graphics. WoW has repeatedly stunned me with amazing world environments. Can't wait to see how mind-blown I will be this expansion.
I have been going over everything about this, as well as participated in Blizzcon. I am curious though, will they be removing Outland's factions/dungeons/raids with this new map setup? I want to know if I need to grind to get all these Outland achievements and rewards, because I do not want to miss out on anything!
I think this will be one of the best expansions yet. They seem like their going to make a lot of awesome things like garrisons, new mounts and They're raising the level cap to 100 instead of 95 which is awesome.
it won't be tbc, it's something new... I love outland... :/ I love its raids, zones, dungeons
This looks really sweet... though I'm sad to read we'll be *against* grom :(
Psyched for the new expansiongarrison is greatlore looks promisingNEW RACES/CLASSES?Thanks for keeping us posted WOWHEAD!
waiting for this :P
While Warlords of Draenor is not (imo) the best expansion lorewise, the features are EPIC!

My fiance and I stayed here for 2 nights in this brand new hotel. The location is nice, but we arrived at night and had a hard time finding the driveway as there are no signs or lights on the road to indicate this. The front desk was friendly and helpful. I was offered a snack and drink upon check in. The room was standard size and nice (everything was new obviously). The one big complaint I had was that the sheets were very uncomfortable in my opinion. The bathroom was nice and had a big shower. Breakfast was mixed. I had a waffle, which was delicious, but the bacon and eggs were very non standard and tasted weird. The coffee was sub par in my opinion.

Lions are the most sought-after sighting on a safari. The excitement of seeing them is partly because we expect to see them in Africa and are reassured when we do but there's also something a bit more primal behind our fascination with them. Thanks to their reassuringly feline name – Panthera leo – we know we are technically dealing with 'cats' but lions are startlingly huge, almost bear sized. Their muscular, barrel-chested bodies and arrogantly jutting chins let everyone know who the boss is – and it's not the 2-legged creatures wearing sunglasses!
Africa's far-flung camps bring you closer to nature and offer the most authentic tented accommodation from the golden era of safari travel. The experience is comfortable, rugged, surprising and thrilling, but before you take a tour on the wild side, find out what you need to be prepared for and why we love these camps.
Spring is slowly coming to the northern hemisphere, luring many people from their hunkered-down hibernations, but in the south, winter is coming. But winter in the south is nothing like winter in the north – in fact, its cool evenings and balmy, dry days are perfect for game watching. High season for both safari and the Great Migration is fast approaching and lodges and camps are gearing up to welcome guests from across the globe.
March is not a relaxing month.The poet Ogden Nash described it as that month of 'wind and taxes', but March in Africa is an interesting 'shoulder month' between high summer and the start of autumn.
They say that the third Monday in January is 'the most depressing day of the year' as the bloom wears off your Christmas and New Year's memories, you get back into the work grind and the bills start arriving again. Then around rolls February, usually the coldest, wettest and generally most miserable month in the northern hemisphere. Is it any wonder at this rather bleak time of year that our hearts and minds focus on escaping to warm beaches, sunny climates and tropical islands?
It's February in Africa and summer is in full swing. Rain has settled in across much of the continent and many of its top safari destinations, drenching the tropical coastline in afternoon showers. But it's not all grey clouds: choose the right destination, and you'll find yourself under Africa's classic blue skies and gorgeous sunshine.
In many ways, Port Elizabeth is a great place to end off your Garden Route self-drive holiday. Lying in the Eastern Cape province, it's the place where the Western Cape's lush forests and plantations start giving way to burnt orange aloes and the thicket bush that is the perfect terrain for kudu and one of the Eastern Cape's main attractions: elephants. Addo Elephant National Park lies less than hour from PE – as it's known to locals – and is ideal for first-time safari goers who are looking for a completely safe, malaria-free, family-friendly destination.
South of the equator, January is midsummer. If you're planning to come to Africa at this time, you might hear things like: it'll be hot, it'll be wet, the wildlife is as widely dispersed as the abundant surface water (instead of conveniently concertrated around waterholes), and some lodges and camps are closed for the 'off' season.
Soft white snowfall on Christmas Day is a real scene-stealer but the months before and after the powdery magic give the northern hemisphere winter a bad name: sludgy ice mixed with mud tracked all over your living room and grey skies as dull and endless as left-over turkey. Luckily, there's a a perfectly balmy solution to escape your central heating and trade your thermal underwear for beachwear and sandals: say 'hello' to Christmas in Africa.
Robben Island, lying off the coast of Cape Town, is part of a long list of islands known primarily for being prisons. But, unlike Rikers and Alcatraz, its history has seen it go from being a leper colony, to a thriving 19th century 'town' complete with a school and post office, to a notorious penitentiary, and now a must-see travel destination studded with historical buildings and home to a flock of adorable but highly endangered African penguins.

Get the Most Out of Your Study Abroad Experience!
Planning to study abroad? Want to hit the ground running, fully prepared and ready to deal with the challenges of culture, language, cross-cultural communication, and culture-shock? We will help you get ready with INST 1001, a 1-credit, study abroad, pre-departure course!
INST 1001 is open to students who have applied to participate in a 2015 summer, fall or academic year program either through OHIO or with IEP.
The course provides students with an informed, cross-cultural perspective and the critical thinking skills needed for a successful experience abroad. You will gain an understanding of the concept of culture, both your own and the host country's culture, basic intercultural communication skills, and how to function and get the most out of life in a different culture.
We will explore topics such as stereotypes, identity, culture and how it shapes people, anti-Americanism, culture shock, health and safety abroad, and re-entry shock. You will also have an opportunity to take a closer look at the culture you will immerse yourself in during your time abroad. Finally, we will look at potential career benefits of an off-campus immersion program.
INST 1001 (class #13845) meets MW 8:35-9:30 starting March 9, 2015. Last day to add/drop the course is March 13, 2015. The course is open for registration! To pick up a Green Slip, stop by the Office of Global Opportunities. Spaces fill up fast, so early registration is recommended!

By implementing high-tech equipment at the different stages of the tobacco processing & supply-chain, TOMRA continues its strive for an NTRM* free tobacco product. Hence reducing risk for its consumer, clean raw tobacco materials will also ensure more efficient manufacturing of consumer products avoiding production stoppages, at the same time minimizing waste generation and contributing to environmental improvements (e.g. reduced energy consumption and CO2 emission control).
*Non-Tobacco Related Material

Both processors and consumers expect tobacco that is hundred percent free of any foreign material. But even the best agricultural practices don't always guarantee a non-tobacco related material (NTRM) free product. That's why tobacco sorting is vital!
TOMRA Sorting Tobacco strives for an NTRM-free tobacco product in all tobacco varieties such as Oriental, Virginia and Burley. This by implementing technology and equipment at various tobacco processes and advising processors on their complete processing installations. Even with the best Good Automated Manufacturing Practices (GAMP's), NTRM's such as feather, cocoon, grass, candy wrappers or fertilizer bag material cannot be avoided. That's why the implementation of tobacco sorting technology is vital, it guarantees a clear tobacco end-product.
BEST Sorting, now part of TOMRA, has more than 25 years of experience in the tobacco industry, providing innovative tobacco sorting equipment for the efficient removal of non-tobacco related materials (NTRM).
Through dedicated research and development, TOMRA Sorting Tobacco became the leader in sensor-based sorting solutions in the tobacco industry, developing a vast array of sensor technologies and high-speed image and data-processing systems.

TOMRA Sorting Tobacco can inspect the product in free fall, on belt, in flight, or even in an air stream. The combination of all of these technologies gives TOMRA Sorting Tobacco the ability to provide the most tailored, cost-effective, and advanced sorting solutions for the efficient removal of NTRM from threshed leaves all the way to the final produce.

text: I moved to lovely Austin from Brooklyn, New York, (like so many others) just over three years ago and love it! I'm a freelance photo editor and picture researcher and work most often from neighborhood cafes, parks, wherever there's a wireless signal and weather permits. Originally from Southern California, I'm obsessed with ingesting as much Mexican food as I possibly can, which in Austin is a whole lot. What I like most about Austin is the huge variety of live music and different venues, the off-the-beaten-track places, the gorgeous swimming holes, and above and beyond all else, the incredibly warm, welcoming, friendly people that make Austin feel like home.
