I have to say thanks a million times to Manuela for having us in this wonderful apartment she has in Gerra. It is truly wonderful; the location, the help from her and the perfection of all the directions and guide in the flat to all the amenities and around Tecino, we felt very welcome. The flat is clean, feels like new, all the amenities are there, including toaster, regular filter coffee maker, a nescafe cup solo, w-lan, tv and all that. There is the small grocery store 4 min away and the beach 2 min away. Perfect location and perfect host! :) We could not have had a better stay and I believe my sister will return if not already this coming weekend, then later, as also I hope to do! The location of the flat is perfect for one - day hikes and the lake is 3 min away (the beach with a wonderful laid back restaurant ni-co's. Thank you again Manuela for having us ! :) Really miss the warmth already, there is barely 20 degrees in Finland now…
Es war alles perfekt. Wir konnten trotz eher kurzfristigen Anmeldung unseren Aufenthalt problemlos geniessen. Die Marmelade und der Wein waren sehr lecker und wir bedanken uns alle sehr.
Viele liebe Grüsse
Xenia, Omar, Linda und Leonie
Ein schönes und gut gelegenes Appartement, das alles bietet, was man braucht (sogar eine Spülmaschine!). Man kann sich sogar draußen bei gutem Wetter hinsetzen und das Frühstück unter blauem Himmel genießen.
Die Abwicklung mit Manuela war total unkompliziert. Obwohl wir selber erst in der Nacht angekommen sind, hat alles wunderbar geklappt.
Fünf Sterne für Appartement und Gastgeberin.
Merci beaucoup pour l'accueil. La confiture et le vin étaient très bons ! Nous avons passé un bon moment, l'appartement est confortable. Par ailleurs, vous avez bien été à notre écoute lors du problème d'eau.
A bientôt !
Thank you for everything, the apartment is fantastic and the place so beautiful.
Just perfect! You will feel home from the first minute! Clean, cozy, very well equipped (kitchen, bath), located in a authentic neighborhood (the little coffee table outside gives a peek into the charming Gerra lifestyle).
The flat is within walking distance of a ferry that charges 20 sfr for a day pass and will tour you around cities around the lake: Ascona with its vividly colored houses and a promenade splayed with restaurants, Brisago, Ranzo and the Island of Brisago - home to a wide variety of plants and flowers!
A challenging yet beautiful 6 hours hike on the mountain is just behind the flat (with gushing waterfalls, small wood bridges and a wonderful view).
Cities of Lugano, Locarno and Bellinzona are within a half an hour drive and make a good itinerary for a rainy day.
The host Manuela was very welcoming, helpful and added an extra touch of affection with a local wine and home made jam kept for us.
Highly recommended!
liebe Manuela
vielen Dank,das wir deiner kleine, liebevoll eingerichteten Ferienwohnung ein paar erholsame Tage verbringen durften. Es hat uns an nichts gefehlt, danke für den Wein,welcher sehr lecker war. Gern kommen wir wieder!
liebe Grüsse

Nissan trials mobile phone safety system
Nissan is developing an advanced mobile-phone based system to help reduce accidents involving pedestrians.
The Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) will use 3G and GPS function to provide pedestrian location information to drivers. Geographical data transmitted from the pedestrian's phone and from the vehicle is fed to the ITS to allow the system to determine the corresponding positions between the two. A pedestrian alert will appear onboard the vehicle to warn the driver, helping to reduce road accidents particularly in a blind-spot situation.
Nissan is studying what types of pedestrian data are most relevant to help prevent accidents. The research will investigate a variety of factors influencing the pedestrian-vehicle's relative positions, such as the directions in which pedestrians and the vehicle are moving, and the corresponding speeds and distances between them. Various driver alerts, such as visual warnings or audible alarms, are also under study.

Raytheon Anschütz announced the recent contract award for its SMARTBLUE maritime situational awareness system on board two vessels being built in South Korea for a major oil and gas company.
The two vessels will operate on the Norwegian Continental Shelf. For each vessel, Raytheon Anschütz will provide two 12ft X-band radars integrated with AIS to a SMARTBLUE sensor management pack. The pack will correlate the incoming data from the sensors and provide information locally through an operator workstation located in the vessel's central control room. Track information and data will be passed through data link to the maritime control center in Norway, allowing the water space surrounding the asset to be carefully monitored and controlled by operators ashore. The system will be designed and managed from the Raytheon Anschütz's Portsmouth, U.K. office but assembled and tested by Raytheon Anschütz Singapore Pte Ltd to ensure local content, affordability, and close proximity to the end user's project management team. After installation and setup, the system will run automatically, alarming only to alert the operator when an anomaly is detected.
James Norwood, Area Surveillance Leader for Raytheon Anschütz said, "This contract win has been the culmination of three years of hard work by our dedicated software development team. For this customer, we are breaking new ground in how we will build, deliver and manage this SMARTBLUE solution, maximizing the value our customer will realize with this advanced offshore security solution."
SMARTBLUE is an open software architecture 'Command and Control' (C2) system, allowing clients to plug and play any surveillance sensor to meet individual requirements and budget. The system performs a number of functions and capabilities, including boundary and sector alarms, vessel traffic monitoring, own vessel monitoring, contact classification and collision avoidance.
In its basic form, SMARTBLUE systems can be integrated with cameras, AIS and radar thereby providing the operator with an easy-to-decipher display. In its advanced form, SMARTBLUE can incorporate sonar systems for underwater detection; meteorological systems; hydrographic monitoring systems; iceberg detection and tracking; oil spill detection and tracking. It can also feature threat deterrents, such as water cannons, laser dazzlers and acoustic devices.

Race, Genes, and Sports
In case you missed it, here's an excerpt from Friday's piece:
I've had my share of arguments with people who deny that race is biologically meaningful. Many of them are dedicated to the proposition that all humans are created equal, not just in the sense of moral worth or treating each person on his merits, but literally, in the sense that no genetically based difference can be admitted in average ability between populations. That kind of egalitarian literalism—I call it liberal creationism—becomes harder and harder to sustain in the face of evidence such as the data on ACTN3.

Kim Kardashian and Kanye West's controversial Vogue cover sells 500,000 copies... beating both Beyonce and Michelle Obama
Anna Wintour was blasted for putting Kim Kardashian and Kanye West on the cover of US Vogue but it appears as if her instincts were correct.
For despite outspoken critics, including actress Sarah Michelle Geller, who said they would cancel their Vogue subscriptions over the cover, the issue flew off newsstands and has already sold over 500,00 copies, according to TooFab.
Comparatively, more than 350,000 copies of Beyonce's edition were snapped up by readers while First Lady Michelle Obama's cover sold nearly 300,000.
Bestseller: Kim Kardashian and Kanye West's US Vogue cover has sold 500,000 copies despite much criticism
And with subscriptions, it is believed the total sales could come to over 1.2 million.
However, it should be noted that Kim did her best to up the final sales tally and earlier this month she hit up a Los Angeles newsstand to buy souvenir stacks of the magazine.
She described her first Vogue cover as 'a dream come true,' and Kim couldn't hide her joy at her major fashion coup, tweeting last month:'This is such a dream come true!!! Thank you @VogueMagazine for this cover! O M GGGGGG!!! I can't even breath!' (sic)
Dress fitting perhaps? Kim jetted to Paris on Tuesday amid rumours she will tie the knot in California imminently ahead of her Paris nuptials
The cover line introduces the piece as: 'Kim & Kanye Their fashionable life and surreal times. #worldsmosttalkedaboutcouple.'
It is apparently the first time a hashtag was used on the Vogue cover and refers to Kim's huge social media presence - she has more than 20 million Twitter followers.
The successful sales, so far, come after weeks of critism from Vogue fans, including actress Sarah Michelle Gellar, who tweeted: 'Well……I guess I'm canceling my Vogue subscription. Who is with me???'
Her boycott was retweeted more than 8,000 times and favorited by more than 11,000 people.
Vogue's Facebook page was also inundated with hundreds of disaproving messages.
'I'm done with Vogue. Subscription cancelled sick to death of Kanye and Kim used to be high fashion, your standards have been highly compromised!!!!!!' wrote one commenter.
Falling behind: Beyonce's Vogue cover only sold 350,000, 150,000 less than Kim and Kanye's
Meanwhile, the message 'Anna Wintour…. it's time to step down…' received more than 100 likes.
Vogue's website also coped similarly angry notes.
'I have always purchased Vogue, ever since I was a teenager and I felt like I could always rely on Vogue to inspire me and educate on a number of levels,' wrote one woman.
'I don't buy tabloids for a reason because I don't look up to or find inspiration in people with no talent and even less morals. Wow, RIP Vogue. The last bastion of style has fallen today. I'll miss you.'
Unable to suspend their disbelief, some fans suggested that the cover could be an April Fool's joke, but the only ones laughing now - most probably with glee - is Kim.
Meanwhile, Beyonce is unlikely to be too upset, she just released Standing On The Sun, the song featured in her H&M campaign, on Monday.

I wouldn't want to avoid reader Carla, however, because she's bringing her crazy-A game to DC Universe Online today. "Here is a photo of my supervillain, Certifiably Insane, posing before the city she's conquered," she wrote.
So my question is, what do you do with a city once you conquer it? Get mired in administrative red tape? Does Certifiably Insane have to preside over council meetings and sewage labor union debates now? How does a supervillain deal with zoning issues, anyway?
The answers to that and so very much more are all after the break in this week's One Shots.
"This is a reenactment of the memorable battle of the Ark Angels versus Shadow Lord using statues in my Moghouse," reader Zengarzombolt said. "Sad to say that it doesn't look good for Shadow Lord."
John uses an economy of words to set the scene: "Here's Frani, my level 13 Paladin. She's busy exploring EverQuest II. Wish her luck!"

Beautifully complex exploded buildings from the incredible Yoonmi Nam
South Korean fine artist, RISD graduate and Associate Professor at the Department of Visual Art, University of Kansas, Yoonmi Nam, creates exquisitely delicate sumi ink drawings of deconstructed pieces of architecture that are utterly breathtaking. Taking her Kansas surroundings as inspiration, Yoonmi rips apart the structures that populate her locale, using the broken masses as "a metaphor to communicate transience and impermanence, and perhaps our desire for permanence and immortality." Whether they're a visceral journey into our subconscious or a representation of our own fleeting nature on the planet, it's Yoonmi's undeniable skill as a draughtsman that brings these images to life with enviable complexity.

Allowing Unions to Organize Volkswagen is Like 'Injecting Cancer' Into US Auto Industry
It seems like a foolish move by Volkswagen for allowing the United Auto Workers (UAW) to organize its American plants. Not only did the UAW screw Volkswagen in the past, but even now the union admits that it is raising union dues solely to replenish its strike fund so unionistas can walk out. It's like Volkswagen is buying its own rope for its execution.
Or, as Steve Moore of The Wall Street Journal says, "it's like inserting a cancer cell into a body."
That is how Journal editorial board member Moore characterized the act of allowing the UAW to organize Volkswagen's American auto plants. "That one cancer cell is going to multiply and kill the body. It's a disruptive influence," he continued.
Worse, the UAW wants to raise dues for members for the expressed reason of filling strike fund coffers, this according to UAW Boss Bob King.
So, if Volkswagen gives in to the UAW's demands it will only be helping the union to walk out at the earliest opportunity.
The sad thing about the possibility that Volkswagen will willingly allow the UAW into its plants is that the German automaker's previous American manufacturing presence was ruined by unions back in the 1970s.
Back then Volkswagen opened a plant in Pennsylvania but a rash of unauthorized union walkouts crushed the carmaker's nascent US auto plants. One would think that Volkswagen wouldn't be so stupid as to allow the UAW to cost it so many millions and destroy its business again.
In just ten years the UAW destroyed the Pennsylvania plant and sent Volkswagen packing to Mexico taking the jobs with it. In fact, the giant manufacturing facilities that Volkswagen built in Pennsylvania are still empty to this day. That is the devastation of unionism.
So, when Volkswagen opened its non-union plant in Chattanooga, Tennessee, it seemed that the company had learned its lesson. But now there are some signs that the company is allowing the UAW to once again descend like a plague on its facilities.
If workers in Volkswagen's Tennessee plant are smart they will tell the union to take a hike. After all voting yes on the UAW is voting to end your job.

Serbia: new privatisation law extends enforcement ban over companies under restructuring
On 5 August 2014, the National Assembly of the Republic of Serbia enacted a new privatisation law, which came into force on 13 August 2014.
The new law prescribes for the privatisation process to be completed before 31 December 2015. The four models of privatisation that have been prescribed include sale of capital, sale of assets, transfer of capital without compensation and strategic partnership. It also allows for the possibility to combine these models. The new law additionally introduces the possibility to initiate insolvency proceedings over the subjects of privatisation where no potential buyers have expressed interest, thus finally resolving their fate.
Of particular interest are the rules that concern the creditors of companies under restructuring. This is especially so considering the decision of the constitutional court that declared the provision from the previous privatisation law that protected companies in restructuring from enforcement as unconstitutional…

He's her biggest fan! Jessica Chastain's 'new boyfriend' cheers on actress at final performance of her Broadway play
It was reported on Saturday that gorgeous Jessica Chastain is loved up with Gian Luca Passi de Preposulo.
And the pair added fuel to the rumours that they are an item when the hunky Italian showed up for the final performance of Jessica's Broadway play The Heiress.
Gian Luca was seen exiting the theatre moments ahead of Jessica with a smile on his face after no doubt cheering on the actress from the audience.
Confirming the rumours?: Jessica Chastain's rumoured new boyfriend Gian Luca Passi de Preposulo was seen leaving the theatre moments before her on Saturday
Supportive: No doubt Jessica was happy to have her man cheering her on from the audience during her performance
And Jessica was clearly happy to have had him there as she was grinning from ear to ear when she left the stage door and signed autographs for her fans.
Gian Luca is successful as well as handsome – he works for French fashion brand Moncler as an executive.
It may have been dark outside but he and Jessica are clearly still hoping to keep some mystery as Gian Luca sported sunglasses along with his navy coat, jeans and printed scarf combination.
He's a keeper: Gian Luca is successful as well as handsome - he works for French fashion brand Moncler as an executive
Smitten kitten: Jessica certainly had a spring in her step as she headed to her show on Saturday
Sources have reported to Just Jared that the pair are dating.
Jessica, 35, certainly seemed to have a skip in her step as she arrived on Broadway in New York for her final performance.
It was freezing in the Big Apple but Jessica wrapped up warm and also sipped on a comforting coffee.
End of an era: The actress was seen arriving on Broadway in New York for her final performance in The Heiress
Feeling frosty: Jessica hopped out of her car and onto the snowy street as she headed for the final curtain
With a big smile on her painted pink lips, Jessica made her way to the theatre from her car and carefully negotiated the snowy street.
She was dressed in sensible black boots which she tucked her skinny jeans into, along with a white top under a black coat.
The fiery redhead accessorised with dark sunglasses, a black satchel, and had a printed scarf wrapped around her neck.
Fashion comes first: Despite the weather Jessica wore boots with wedged heels and kept warm by sipping on a coffee
Happy day: Jessica was grinning from ear to ear when she signed autographs for fans outside the theatre
It must feel like the end of an era for Jessica, who has been starring in the play since it opened on November 1 after a month of previews.
After scooping a Golden Globe for Best Actress for her role in Zero Dark Thirty, Jessica is hoping to have the same luck at Sunday's Baftas and the Oscars later this month.
However it is touch and go as to whether or not she will make it to London for the Baftas, with snow grounding many flights out of New York.
Not long now: The redhead is no doubt nervous for the Oscars later this month as she is nominated for Best Actress
It's uncanny: The star was delighted when she was presented with a portrait of herself

We ordered groceries online before our Disney trip. They were waiting for us when we arrived. The cold things were refrigerated and delivered by bell service as soon as we arrived. Superb service. Would highly recommend!
The service was perfect for my family visiting Disney. You kept us information about our order and when it was delivered,
Excellent service. Groceries delivered to Disney Old Key West Resort as expected. Only thing unclear was whether it will be delivered to room. It was at bell services. I gave 20% gratuities with expectations groceries will be deliveries to room by Garden Grocer. Since the bell man did it, I gave much more than necessary. Food was fresh, but slightly more expensive than a typical grocery store.

Dietary Restrictions: Turning Lemons into Lemonade
For the past two years I've been making headway on a food enthusiast's worst nightmare: Candida Related Complex (CRC), and food intolerance (potatoes, vanilla, coconut, oats), and possibly Celiac Disease as well (those tests are pending).Are you feeling my pity party? I have friends with Celiac Disease and I've followed an Atkins diet for quite some time(that's actually how I figured out my stomach problems were diet/digestion-related), so I'm not unfamiliar with food restrictions. But the diet for these three in combination is a different ballgame all together.
And I've been a little down about it. I love food! I recently relocated to San Francisco and it seems a little cruel to finally live in a city with a Zagat's Guide only to know that I can't eat at 97% of the restaurants without either becoming sick or having to request something that doesn't resemble any of the menu items. Instead, I'm focusing on becoming inspired.
I visit Chef2Chef all the time but hadn't thought about blogging until I decided that I'd better get creative before I starve.And even if there aren't other folks on C2C dealing with this exact diet, there are loads of reasons why folks modify recipes. So I figured I may as well post about my new culinary adventures.
Last week I was in Tuscon visiting some friends who have a lemon tree–a lemon tree that was in desperate need of picking. As lemons are one of the only fruits I'm able to eat right now, I was lovingly sent home with a whole box to squeeze. And boy, did I squeeze! I have a pitcher full of lemon juice that I'm pouring into ice cube trays and then transferring to freezer bags.Should come in very handy for homemade non-vinaigrette dressings and a load of other things.
I wanted to do something a little bit different for lemonade.Side note: I was daydreaming about which flavored vodka would pair best with this (can't drink alcohol on this diet).I'm thinking Absolut Pepper would be pretty stellar (there goes the all-natural effort).If anyone gives it a try, let me know.
- 2 Tbs. culinary-grade lavender (free of chemical fertilizers/pesticides)
- 1/2 cup fresh lemon juice
- Filtered water
- Stevia (amazing plant-based zero calorie sweetener) to taste
Steep lavender in 3 cups of boiling, filtered water.Add lemon juice and stevia to taste.This is the color–it's a beautiful completely natural pink lemonade.

Update: Turns out Brian Elliott is the starting goalie in St. Louis
Oct 28, 2011, 5:12 PM EDT
Earlier today, we posted about St. Louis' up-in-the-air goaltending situation heading into tonight's game versus Calgary.
Turns out it's no longer up in the air.
Jeremy Rutherford of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch is reporting that Brian Elliott will get his fourth consecutive start, putting Jaroslav Halak — he of the four-year, $15 million deal (signed just last season!) — on the bench once again.
Halak hasn't appeared in a game for St. Louis since Oct. 18.
"We know Jaro is a guy that we're going to continue to lean on, he's a good goaltender, and he's going to get that chance to go back in. But right now, we're making decisions based on what gives our team success tonight," Payne said.
When asked of the decision to go with Elliot again was a no-brainer, Payne responded: "You want to get into my mind and talk about no-brainers? No, it's just a decision based on performance and how the team is playing and what we feel he can give us tonight."
Payne also added he's not worried about Halak becoming upset over the situation because "he's a pro."
Look, this all might be much ado about nothing. A similar situation arose in Pittsburgh last year when Marc-Andre Fleury got off to a horrible start and Brent Johnson ended up carrying the mail into November. (There was one point last season where Johnson was 5-0 with a 1.16 GAA while Fleury was 1-5 with a 3.35.)
The biggest difference there? Fleury was clearly established as Pittsburgh's No.1 goalie. He'd been a 60 games-plus starter for three years and backstopped the Pens to a Stanley Cup.
Halak doesn't have that resume.
You also get the feeling Payne doesn't have as much faith in Halak as Dan Bylsma had in Fleury. Bylsma was faced with an almost identical situation last season — in mid-October, Johnson had rattled off three straight wins against the Islanders, Flyers and Senators. But rather than ride his backup for a fourth straight contest, Bylsma came back with Fleury and the Pens won in overtime, 4-3 over Nashville.
To be fair, the Penguins had a little more leeway than the Blues. Whereas the Pens were a consistent playoff team, the Blues haven't been there in two years. That makes it a little tougher to sit back and watch your goalie cost you points while he figures out his game.

Obama Signs Law Giving Himself Armed Guards for Life
President Obama has signed a law that will give himself and all presidents Secret Service protection for life, reversing a law passed during the Clinton administration that gave former presidents a security detail for only 10 years after leaving office.
The new law signed on Wednesday also gives former first ladies lifetime security details (unless they divorce their former presidential spouse) and all presidential children a security detail until they are 16-years-old.
The now nullified law passed in the 1994 was originally presented as a way to save millions of dollars to the federal treasury. It was postulated that former presidents would have enough money of their own to hire private security services, as Nixon did when he decided to forego his government-supplied Secret Service details in his post presidential years. The 1994 law was to take effect for all presidents elected after 1997, so of the surviving presidents only George W. Bush and Barack Obama would have been affected.
The new law sailed through both houses of Congress and had massive bi-partisan support.

African Green Tech fund launched
DEVELOPMENT| Sept. 4, 2012, 11 a.m.
The Sustainable Energy Fund for Africa (SEFA), a joint initiative of the Danish government and the Energy, Environment and Climate Change Department (ONEC) of the African Development Bank (AfDB), has approved its first grant of USD 825,000 to finance the concept phase of the Green Tech Financial Facility – a vehicle for investments in private-sector driven green technology projects – including market scoping and positioning studies, fund conceptualization and fund manager selection.
The grant will be coordinated and monitored by a task team from the Private Sector Department of the AfDB, working closely with the African Biofuel and Renewable Energy Company (ABREC) and the SEFA Secretariat.
AfDB says African countries are embracing the "green growth" development paradigm to address their economic, environmental and social challenges. There is, however, an absence of a coherent investment framework to support this agenda in Africa and elsewhere. Climate-oriented facilities designed to address this problem channel capital from predominantly public contributions. While Multilateral Development Banks (MDBs) have achieved some success leveraging private finance using a variety of instruments, mainly through Climate Investment Funds, these initiatives lack sufficient scale to meet global climate finance needs.
Thus, there remains untapped potential to design an appropriate financing mechanism that systematically channels private capital into environmentally-sound technologies that improve resource efficiency and economic competitiveness while reducing carbon emissions.
This SEFA grant will therefore support the AfDB in structuring and launching an investment facility aimed at increasing private capital flow channeled to private sector-led projects that implement carbon-reducing and clean technologies for Africa.

The Weather Makers: The History and Future Impact of Climate Change
Allen Lane, 2006 - Climatic changes - 341 pages
Sometime this century the day will arrive when the human influence on the climate will overwhelm all other natural factors. Over the past decade, the world has seen the most powerful El Nino ever recorded, the most devastating hurricane in two hundred years, the hottest European summer on record, and one of the worst storm seasons ever experienced in Florida. With one out of every five living things on this planet committed to extinction by the levels of greenhouse gases that will accumulate in the next few decades, we are reaching a global climatic tipping point. [This book] is both an urgent warning and a call to arms, outlining the history of climate change, how it will unfold over the next century, and what we can do to prevent a cataclysmic future. Along with a riveting history of climate change, [the author] offers specific suggestions for action for both lawmakers and individuals, from investing in renewable power sources like wind, solar, and geothermal energy, to offering an action plan with steps each and every one of us can take right now to reduce deadly CO2 emissions by as much as 70 percent.-Dust jacket.
