Over the past ten years, Amy Sacco has been one of, if not, the most revered icons of New York nightlife. Following her fame from the uber-cool Lot 61, Amy is best known for the success of one of the most popular and exclusive clubs in NYC history, Bungalow 8. Sacco's Bungalow 8 attracted the coolest celebrities and A-list personalities for nearly ten years and completely disrupted the nightlife industry by leading the wave of new openings in Chelsea on west 27th street. Following Bungalow 8, Amy opened a Bungalow 8 in London and now is the creative director for LDV Hospitality's No. 8, which is inspired by the former Bungalow 8. With old faces like DJ Uncle Mike and Disco at the door, No. 8 can be seen as "the Bungalow 8 for 2.0" according to Sacco.
In addition to having great mixologists serving the famous Watermelon Martinis, No. 8 offers a unique dining experience, headed by executive chef, Anthony Russo, from other LDV Hospitality venues, including Lugo's. No. 8′s menu uses high quality ingredients, and is comprised of many delectable and succulent dishes including: Lobster Taco's, Grilled Cheese (another favorite from Bungalow 8), Flat Bread Pizza and Tuna Tartare among other noteworthy treats.

If you follow our regular cable news ratings posts, you know very well about CNN's ratings woes. That being the case, CNN's Jonathan Klein would rather worry about Facebook and Twitter instead.
CNN is more concerned about competition from social networks than other cable news networks, CNN U.S. president Jonathan Klein said here Wednesday.
""The competition I'm really afraid of are social networking sites," he said in a keynote interview at Bloomberg BusinessWeek's Media Summit New York. They provide "an alternative that threatens to pull people away from us."
After all, Facebook friends and Twitter members are "trusted news sources," Klein explained.[...]
Asked whether it bothers him that CNN came in third in U.S. ratings last year, Klein said those rankings are based on prime time figures, but he likes to take a broader view across day parts. For example, he argued that CNN drew 100 million viewers for all of February, which was ahead of Fox News' 91 million. CNN sells the overall reach of the network rather than one show or day part, he added.
Klein did acknowledge though that Fox News' viewers stay longer, and "we would like ours to stay longer."

April 22, 2010
By James L. Gattuso
The Senate is expected to take up a proposal, originally authored by Senator Chris Dodd (D–CT), to reform the financial regulatory system in the U.S. The goal is clear: to minimize the chances that another financial crisis—and bailouts—will arise again.
The objective is a good one. Unfortunately, the 1,408-page bill includes numerous provisions that would hurt—not help—consumers and the economy. It would even make another financial crisis or bailout more likely to occur.
Fourteen Flaws
Among other things, the bill:
Careful Consideration
As the Senate moves forward to consider this proposal, it should give careful consideration to these potentially fatal flaws. The crisis of 2008, with its bailouts and government takeovers must not be repeated. Americans deserve reform that makes crises and bailouts less likely, not more likely.
James L. Gattuso is Senior Research Fellow in Regulatory Policy in the Thomas A. Roe Institute for Economic Policy Studies at The Heritage Foundation.

The Brayden Schenn experiment is about to unfold in the City of Brotherly Love.
Philadelphia Flyers general manager Paul Holmgren re-called his prized wing from the Adirondack Phantoms on Wednesday morning and returned forwards Zac Rinaldo and Harry Zolnierczyk.
While rehabbing a shoulder injury with the Phantoms, the 20-year-old Schenn contributed 4 goals and 8 points in four American Hockey League games in Glens Falls. According to The Philadelphia Inquirer, Wednesday's transactions leave the Flyers with approximately $21,000 in cap space. The Daily News also reported that Schenn's stint in the AHL reduced his salary cap hit by nearly $1.75 million.
The Flyers will play host to the Washington Capitals on Thursday at Wells Fargo Center. In addition to Schenn's possible debut, fourth-line forward Jody Shelley is also eligible to return on Thursday after serving a five-game NHL suspension.
Schenn, of course, was a major piece in the wheeling and dealing conducted by Holmgren last June on the eve of the 2011 Entry Draft in St. Paul, Minn.
After trading center Jeff Carter to the Columbus Blue Jackets in exchange for wing Jakub Voracek and two draft picks, Holmgren dealt captain Michael Richards to the Los Angeles Kings for Schenn and forward Wayne Simmonds. The moves enabled Holmgren to then ink free-agent goalie Ilya Bryzgalov to a contract reportedly worth $51 million over nine years.
The trades have certainly ignited the Flyers to start the 2011-12 campaign. The club has won four of five games to open the season while outscoring its opponents, 19-10. In fact, the last time the Flyers totaled nine points in their first five contests was in 1998-99. Additionally, Philadelphia celebrated three road victories to open a season for the first time since 1993-94, while outscoring its road foes, 12-3.
Voracek and Simmonds are tied for seventh on the team in scoring with 2 goals and 3 points. They have each averaged over 15 minutes of playing time per game. Rookie center Sean Couturier, who the Flyers were able to select No. 8 via the trade with Columbus, has 1 goal, 3 points and a plus-4 rating in five contests.

AURORA, Colo. - A soccer ball, a bicycle and an all-expense paid trip to Iceland. A hard-working student at Kenton Elementary School, who has never been on an airplane before, earned those prizes during the inaugural year of 5th Gear Kids, a partnership between University of Colorado's Anschutz Health and Wellness Center, Aurora Public Schools, Cherry Creek School District and Children's Hospital Colorado.
5th Gear Kids is a wellness program for 5th graders to prevent obesity, improve academic performance and enhance lifelong health. It teaches kids how to balance energy taken in through food with energy expended in metabolism and physical activity. Kids learn the principles of energy balance in school and practice these skills through earning incentives and prizes when they make healthy choices in the community. Kids earn points by engaging in physical activity and by making healthy food choices while shopping at dozens of community partners. One out of three children in Colorado is considered overweight or obese. Most of them will fight obesity as adults.
Franklin Carpenter earned 33,800 points participating in the program. Carpenter is the first student to earn the grand prize award since the program started at the beginning of the 2012-2013 school year. Approximately 7,200 students in APS and Cherry Creek took part in "5th Gear Kids" earning 3,570,241 points. Students redeem their points for prizes like recreation equipment. The top six point earners were put in a drawing for the trip to Iceland.
Wonders of Iceland and Iceland Travel are donating the trip for two with Icelandair taking care of the airfare. The five-day trip is worth more than $5000 and includes accommodations, travel fees, food and excursions. Wonders of Iceland and Iceland Travel are providing a tour of Iceland's capital city, Reykjavik, whale watching and horseback riding.
Carpenter is 11 years old and he may have been a bit overwhelmed by his award for making good choices when it comes to nutrition and exercise. He has never been on an airplane so he is excited about the trip to Iceland.
"I am most excited about whale watching," says Carpenter, "I have never seen a whale before."
Carpenter will be taking his older sister, Cheyenna Daigle, to Iceland as his chaperone. His younger brother, Registe, also will benefit from Carpenter's dedication to healthy living. Carpenter was trying to earn a second bicycle for Registe but fell a few points short. Thrudur Gunnarsdottir, PhD, 5th Gear's director, was able to make up the difference so Registe would enjoy a new bike while his brother and sister are traveling.
5th Gear Kids is funded by a grant from the Colorado Health Foundation.

Brown Bread and Boiled Eggs
Hard-boiled eggs travel well and can be boiled in bulk at the beginning of the week. Make egg salad with the egg-stras!
How to Make Addictive Flaky Bread—Plus Dips!
The warm, buttery, pull-apart 'flaky bread' at Brooklyn's Glasserie is versatile and easy to throw together
Flaky Bread
An unfloured surface provides some traction, so it's easy to roll the dough very thin.
Man Buns
This will make more pulled pork than you'll need, but who would be sad about that? Use the leftovers to make tacos, pulled pork sandwiches, pork stew—whatever your heart desires, really
Pies-N-Thighs Biscuits
To make ahead, freeze the cut-out biscuits in plastic bags. Bake frozen, increasing cooking time to 45–55 minutes.
Easy Savory Cornbread
A simple, straightforward cornbread that we'd happily serve alongside a bowl of chili on any other day of the year.
Dilly Rolls
Yeasted doughs might seem daunting to novice bakers, but these rolls are very simple to make.
Johnnycake Bread
We recommend using a finely ground cornmeal for these; it will give them the ideal texture.
This thin, crisp Turkish flatbread is typically rolled into a cone before eating.
Pumpkin Spoon Bread
We make lots of things from scratch on Thanksgiving, but pumpkin purée isn't one of them. Libby's is our favorite brand.

WASHINGTON — A measure of U.S. home prices rose 6.3 percent in October compared with a year ago, the largest yearly gain since July 2006. The jump adds to signs of a comeback in the once-battered housing market.
Core Logic also said Tuesday that prices declined 0.2 percent in October from September, the second drop after six straight monthly increases. The monthly figures are not seasonally adjusted. The real estate data provider says the decline reflects the end of the summer home-buying season.
Steady price increases are helping fuel a housing recovery. They encourage more homeowners to sell their homes. And they entice would-be buyers to purchase homes before prices rise further.
Home values are rising in more states and cities, according to the report. Prices increased in 45 states in October, up from 43 the previous month. The biggest increases were in Arizona, where prices rose 21.3 percent, and in Hawaii, where they were up 13.2 percent.
The five states where prices declined were: Illinois, Delaware, Rhode Island, New Jersey, and Alabama.
In 100 large metro areas, only 17 reported price declines. That's an improvement September, when 21 reported declines.
Mortgage rates are near record lows, while rents in many cities are rising. That makes home buying more affordable, pushing up demand.
And more people are looking to buy or rent a home after living with relatives or friends during and immediately after the Great Recession.
At the same time, the number of available homes is at the lowest level in 10 years, according to the National Association of Realtors. The combination of low inventory and rising demand pushes up prices.
Last week, an index measuring the number of Americans who signed contracts to buy homes in October jumped to the highest level in almost six years. That suggests sales of previously occupied homes will rise in the coming months.
Builders, meanwhile, are more optimistic that the recovery will endure. A measure of their confidence rose to the highest level in six and a half years last month. And builders broke ground on new homes and apartments at the fastest pace in more than four years in October.

An excerpt from www.HouseOfNames.com archives copyright © 2000 - 2015
Where did the English Mullenix family come from? What is the English Mullenix family crest and coat of arms? When did the Mullenix family first arrive in the United States? Where did the various branches of the family go? What is the Mullenix family history?Mullenix is a name of ancient Norman origin. It arrived in England with the Norman Conquest of 1066. The Mullenix family lived in Lancashire. The name however, is a reference to the family's place of residence prior to the Norman Conquest of England in 1066, Molineaux-Sur-Seine, near Rouen, in Normandy.
Endless spelling variations are a prevailing characteristic of Norman surnames. Old and Middle English lacked any definite spelling rules, and the introduction of Norman French added an unfamiliar ingredient to the English linguistic stew. French and Latin, the languages of the court, also influenced spellings. Finally, Medieval scribes generally spelled words according to how they sounded, so one person was often referred to by different spellings in different documents. The name has been spelled Molinieux, Molinaux, Molineaux, Molineux, Molinex and many more.
First found in Lancashire as "an ancient Norman family, who have been possessed of the manor of Sefton, in this county, from the period of the Conquest, or very soon afterwards: it was held as a knight's fee, as of the Castle of Lancaster." [1] William de Molines was the first recorded ancestor.
This web page shows only a small excerpt of our Mullenix research. Another 177 words (13 lines of text) covering the years 1598, 1594, 1636, 1620, 1654, 1624, 1699, 1685, 1759, 1651, 1696, 1702, 1616, 1693, 1656 and 1698 are included under the topic Early Mullenix History in all our PDF Extended History products.
Another 127 words (9 lines of text) are included under the topic Early Mullenix Notables in all our PDF Extended History products.
Some of the Mullenix family moved to Ireland, but this topic is not covered in this excerpt. Another 103 words (7 lines of text) about their life in Ireland is included in all our PDF Extended History products.
To escape the political and religious persecution within England at the time, many English families left for the various British colonies abroad. The voyage was extremely difficult, though, and the cramped, dank ships caused many to arrive in the New World diseased and starving. But for those who made it, the trip was most often worth it. Many of the families who arrived went on to make valuable contributions to the emerging nations of Canada and the United States. An inquiry into the early roots of North American families reveals a number of immigrants bearing the name Mullenix or a variant listed above: James Molinex settled in Philadelphia in 1685; Edward Molineux, who arrived in Virginia in 1719; Jonathon Molineaux, who came to Maryland in 1726; Samuel Molineaux, who settled in Philadelphia in 1846.

Hollywood's New Hillary
Will Geena Davis's new TV show about a woman president be good for Sen. Clinton's 2008 chances?
11:00 PM, Mar 10, 2005 • By BILL WHALEN
FEAR NOT: this isn't another column about Hillary Clinton fashioning herself into a pragmatic, centrist force to be reckoned with in 2008, or how America always loves a good makeover--be it a toned-down junior senator from New York, a slimmed-down homemaker currently under house arrest, or a "big fat actress" looking to jump-start her career on Showtime.
The real story that bears watching is why Hollywood, after treating the former first lady rather unceremoniously throughout the last decade, is all of sudden enamored by the thought of a Clinton candidacy--so much so that one network is willing to put a pseudo-President Hillary on prime-time television.
Last week, ABC announced that Geena Davis will star as the nation's first female president in the one-hour drama pilot Commander in Chief. For Mrs. Clinton, it's a moral victory of sorts in that it's a step up from those '90s movies in which the first lady was easily disposable. That would include The American President, where Michael Douglas plays a widowed president, as well as Independence Day, where the first lady is off'ed by the alien horde. And let's not forget Primary Colors, the thinly disguised takeoff on the Clintons' run for the White House in which Emma Thompson plays a candidate's wife who's a walking billboard for Quaaludes and separate bedrooms.
So how do we know that ABC is looking to score points with Sen. Clinton, presumably a presidential candidate in 2008? Look no further than the choice of Ms. Davis as the show's star.
The actress is not only younger than Mrs. Clinton (Geena turns 50 next January; Hillary turns 58 this fall), she's also leaner than the senator, is at least a half-foot taller, was a Victoria's Secret lingerie model before she got into acting, belongs to Mensa, won an Oscar for Best Supporting Actress (The Accidental Tourist), once tried out for the U.S. Olympic archery team, and is fluent in Swedish (which would come in handy should Bill Clinton ever win that elusive Nobel Peace Prize).
In all, not a bad doppelganger. Or do you think the Clintons would really prefer that Camryn Manheim get the part?
(Not that Hollywood puts a lot of thought into this--how did The West Wing cast the decidedly un-buff Alan Alda as a socially moderate, fiscally conservative Republican from California named "Arnold"?)
Then again, perhaps this was a role that Geena Davis was meant to play. After all, there are instances where the actress's art imitated Hillary's real life.
Davis's first movie appearance was in Tootsie. Veteran Clinton watchers will recall that Tootsie was also the nickname that male Clinton campaign aides derogatorily slapped on Susan Thomases, Mrs. Clinton's longtime friend and political advisor, for her uncanny resemblance to Dustin Hoffman's cross-dressing character.
And both Geena's and Hillary's careers included a detour through Arkansas. Davis was the former half of the Thelma and Louise tandem, playing a long-suffering Arkansas housewife married to a sexist lunkhead. ("He kinda prides himself on being infantile," Thelma explains in the film.) Her character gets bonus Democratic points for trysting with Brad Pitt; and double-points for being emancipated by none other than Susan Sarandon.
ONE COULD ARGUE that the weekly showcasing of an effective female president might be Hollywood showing favoritism toward a certain Democratic icon. Except, of course, that no one has seen a script. And therein lies the potential for trouble, from the senator's perspective. At a time when Sen. Clinton is trying to broaden her appeal by moderating her stances on abortion and cultural values, will her fictional equivalent show the same flair for triangulation, or will ABC's prime-time version of Hillary be more of a Lifetime heroine?
If last week's reports are any indication, the Clintons should start worrying. According to one wire story, "The show, in the early stages of development, is described by ABC officials as a drama about the nation's first woman president--but unlike The West Wing, Chief will focus more on the president's family life." Which would seem at odds with the realpolitik of Hillary '08, where one of the main challenges is to keep the focus on the candidate's policy views rather than her complicated marriage.

|Chapter 2 - Sacred Texts
The Sermon on the Mount, the longest discourse attributed to Jesus, details the basic principles of the divine kingdom that he envisaged. In the Beatitudes, after summarizing the spiritual perfection that should characterize the members of God's kingdom, Jesus continues with an extended commentary that touches on such points as the kingdom's members and the example they must set through their religious acts of fasting, praying, almsgiving, and renunciation.
Matthew's reverential allusions to the law are references to the Torah, since he is writing for Jews. His attitude contrasts sharply with that of Paul who, writing mainly for Gentiles, considered the written law superseded by the law of faith.
The material excerpted here from the Revised Standard Bible (1971),appears in chapters 5, 6, and 7 of Matthew's narrative, not necessarily in the order in which Matthew presents it.
5:14 "You are light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hid. Nor do men light a lamp and put it under a bushel, but on a stand, and it gives light to all in the house. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven.
"Think not that I have come to abolish the law and the prophets; I have come not to abolish them, but to fulfill them. For truly, I say to you, till heaven and earth pass away, not an iota, not a dot, will pass from the law, until all is accomplished. . . .
5:23 "So if you are offering your gift at the altar, and there remember that your brother has something against you, leave your gift there before the altar and go; first be reconciled to your brother, and then come and offer your gift. . . .
5:38 "You have heard that it was said, 'An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.' But I say to you, Do not resist one who is evil. But if anyone strikes you on the right cheek, turn to him the other cheek also. . . .
5:43 "You have heard that it was said, 'You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.' But I say to you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, so that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven; for he makes his sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust.
For if you love those who love you, what reward have you? Do not even the tax collectors do the same? And if you salute only your brethren, what more are you doing than others? Do not even the Gentiles do the same? You therefore must be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect.
6:1 "Beware of practicing your piety before men in order to be seen by them; for then you will have no reward from your Father who is in heaven. . . . But when you give alms, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, so that your alms may be in secret; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you.
6:19 "Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust consume and where thieves break in and steal, but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust consumes, and where thieves do not break in or steal. For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also."
6:24 "No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon [money or riches].
"Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious about your life, what you shall eat or what you shall drink, nor about your body, what you shall put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing? Look at the birds of the air: they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they? And which of you by being anxious can add one cubit to his span of life? And why are you anxious about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they neither toil nor spin; yet I tell you even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is alive and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will he not much more clothe you, O men of little faith? Therefore do not be anxious, saying, 'What shall we eat?' or 'What shall we drink?' or 'What shall we wear?' For the Gentiles seek all these things; and your heavenly Father knows that you need them all. But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things shall be yours as well."
7:8 "For every one who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened. Or what man of you, if his son asks him for bread, will give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a serpent? If you then, who are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask him! So whatever you wish that men would do to you, do so to them; for this is the law and the prophets."

One afternoon this spring I decided it was simply too gorgeous of a day to spend it indoors writing my english paper. So I made an impromptu journey to Exeter, an hour and a half before I was actually supposed to meet someone there.
I stopped by the Loaf and Ladle for a sandwich. Their only vegan sandwich option is the hummus and veggie sandwich but I love me some veggies and hummus! The sandwich was delicious and reasonably priced. The view from the back porch was beautiful- incredibly calming; watching the water fall over the dam. It would be quite the place to grab a bite and study or read.
Loaf and Ladle has some of the best soup I've ever had. Even better, they usually have at least 3 vegetarian soups, including their tomato bisque. It's a casual setting, but the soup and the thick slice of bread you get with it are utterly amazing. You'll certainly want to take a loaf home.

In case nobody noticed, the country has been run on a vast array of debt instruments for quite awhile now.
It is our common concession to the imperfectability of humans that we can all have a little more than we deserve, a little sooner than we can afford it, perhaps even a lot more of what we could never, ever have afforded.
National debt, consumer debt, credit card debt, savings and loan debt, hedge-fund debt, mortgages, home-improvement loans and industrial revenue bonds. What ever happened to layaway?
Here are two statistical warnings that we may know but haven't grasped:
The Federal Reserve tells us that consumers' credit debt has gone from $8 billion-worth of today's dollars in 1968 to $880 billion today. That's 110 times as much in 40 years.
"Bottom line," wrote Dennis Cauchon in USA Today last year, is that "taxpayers are now on the hook for a record $59.1 trillion in liabilities, a 2.3-percent increase from 2006. That amount is equal to $516,348 for every U.S. household. By comparison, U.S. households owe an average of $112,043 for mortgages, car loans, credit cards and all other debt combined."
Both major parties are culpable. We can argue about which imbecile has been worse or more negligent some other time.

We believe in an open, integrative corporate culture. Each and every employee contributes to the company's success and continuing development.
Beiersdorf's "Blue Building" program for constructing and using buildings aims at sustainably managing the entire life-cycle of its owner-occupied properties. This includes saving energy, conserving resources and, at the same time, providing a working environment for all employees which is both attractive and healthy. Since 2012, one of the key criteria for all major real estate projects is certification according to standards for sustainable buildings.
The production center officially opened in July 2014 in Silao, Mexico, are a good example. This 34,000 square meter building complex was developed following a committed sustainability concept. Focusing strongly on energy efficiency and resource conservation, all criteria for the highest level platinum LEED certification (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) were followed from the start of construction to completion. Since September 2014, the site is officially LEED-certified. Among other features, the new building boasts a modern CHP plant, photovoltaics and other highly efficient technological systems and installations. In accordance with Beiersdorf's sustainability commitment, the new production site will emit around 55 percent less CO2 and consume 30 percent less water per ton of product than comparable factories.
The Spanish production center in Argentona installed a photovoltaic system at the beginning of 2013. 480 solar modules on the roof of the production building will provide about 170,000 kilowatt hours, which is almost 10% of the yearly electricity need. In addition, the plant significantly reduced CO2 emissions: now 40.5 tons less CO2 will end up in the air each year. The plant is also investing in the climate-friendly optimization of the lighting systems in both the production building and the warehouses, which will reduce CO2 emissions by another 12.5 tons per year.
In 2011 we installed a photovoltaic system at our offices in Italy. Every year 35 tons of CO2 are saved, which is equivalent to planting 4,665 trees. In 2013 we achieved energy savings in our Austrian offices of 73.5% by switching from neon lamps to LED ones. This equates to 32.5 tons of CO2.
Our Spanish offices in Madrid moved to a green building with a "Mega Skin" which maintains a more constant temperature inside the building, and so reduces the need for heating and air-conditioning. The skin enables more natural light to enter the building, thus decreasing lighting costs. In addition, solar panels have been installed on the roof to heat water and generate electricity. As a result of these and other measures, we achieved a significant CO2 reduction in 2013.
We have implemented a number of measures aimed at reducing CO2 emissions in buildings at our headquarters in Hamburg. These measures include: optimizing lighting, installing free cooling systems for our laboratory buildings, cogeneration systems, high-efficiency motors and pumps. We have reduced our annual CO2 emissions by approximately 1,000 tons, thanks to the installation of the cogeneration systems alone. Our current program for efficient office lighting will reduce our CO2 emissions by a further 30 tons per year, and partially switching off our outdoor lighting at night will reduce annual CO2 emissions by another 18 tons. Some of our dishwashers are now using heat from the cogeneration systems, instead of electric water heaters, for their hot water, which reduces CO2 emissions by 26 tons per year. Changes in our printing center have resulted in savings in CO2 emissions of 11 tons per year.
The net result of these and other initiatives will be a reduction in the CO2 emissions at our headquarters' buildings of 3,010 tons per year, or about 20%, within three years. In addition to making these savings, Beiersdorf Germany will switch the entire electricity supply to renewable sources in 2016.
Environmentally friendly construction played a role from the very start of planning the new Beiersdorf kindergarten at our Hamburg headquarters. This paid off on 20 November 2014 with the award of a Gold Certificate from the German Sustainable Building Council (DGNB). The association granted the highest possible certification, among other things for thermal and acoustic comfort, optimal use of daylight and energy efficiency, as well as the absence of pollutants in the building materials and furniture. The sustainable building aspects include the photovoltaic system installed on the green roof, controlled LED lighting and heat generation by an in-house Beiersdorf cogeneration system. The kindergarten with its 100 places also contributes to a better work-family balance.
To reduce our impact on the environment and achieve our sustainability objectives in the "Planet" focus area, we are working out site-specific plans under our "Blue Production Center" (Blue PC) initiative to increase energy efficiency, bring down greenhouse gas emissions, and reduce waste generation and water consumption.
Our plants of the regions Europe and the Far East assessed their facilities and processes in 2013 and 2014, and introduced concrete improvement measures. This analysis process is planned for Latin America in 2015. We are targeting a 50% reduction in CO2 worldwide by 2020, compared with 2005, among other things via optimized lighting, reduction in compressed air leakage and energy-saving drives.
All three German production sites, in Hamburg, Berlin and Waldheim, were successfully ISO 50001 certified in 2014. This worldwide standard sets guidelines for the introduction and use of energy management systems. It thus creates a framework for the systematic development of processes and standards that support efficient and conscientious use of energy. The goal is to reduce environmental impacts and conserve resources. ISO 50001 also helps ensure that this approach is maintained, and continuously improved.
The energy consumption of the Hamburg data center in Germany remained at a stable level in 2014. In the previous year, Beiersdorf Shared Services (BSS) was able to successfully reduce it by 30%.
We are working to continuously replace older devices with new, energy-saving models, reduce stand-by use and expand the shared use of devices, such as printers. We have installed systems to optimize the operating environment and temperature of the IT systems, which has also contributed to the savings. As frequent business travel and long-distance flights generate large amounts of CO2, we encourage our employees to use audio and video conferencing whenever possible.
In our Spanish office in Madrid we replaced five high volume network printers with three multi-functional devices in our offices and implemented document management software in 2013. The result was a noticeable reduction in the amount of paper print outs, printer consumables and energy consumption. Find out more in the section Reducing the Paper Trail and Intelligent Printing.
As part of our efforts to introduce more environmentally-friendly logistics processes, we have optimized container loading, truck capacity utilization, and transport routes. We have built a tool to measure our Europe-wide CO2 emissions from transport, which has been in use since 2009. In addition, we began measuring emissions in our European warehouses in 2011. We are also a member of the "Green Freight Europe" initiative, which is an association of European industrial and transport companies that seeks to establish a European standard for measuring, analyzing and managing CO2 emissions from road traffic. This initiative provides a platform for verifying and reporting CO2 emissions and promotes best practice sharing and a uniform monitoring process.
In Switzerland we began using trains for our direct outbound transportation deliveries to customers' warehouses in 2008. In collaboration with two of our customers, we have expanded this concept over the last few years to cover Germany as well. Today, about a quarter of our direct outbound transport in Germany and Switzerland is done by train. In addition to this, we have rolled out a new delivery concept for our customers. The new order target size is now "full truck", which ensures optimized container utilization and reduces the number of deliveries. Thanks to these two initiatives, we can now transport more for less: In 2013 we reduced our CO2 emissions in this area by 37% – over 1,000 tons of CO2.
A similar concept has been developed in Spain, where Beiersdorf is working together with other manufacturers to combine shipments with the same "ship-to" address. This means combined deliveries (same day, same time) are made to specific customers. Since June 2012 truck usage has dropped by 27% and CO2 emissions have been reduced by 32%.
In early 2013, Beiersdorf introduced a "Green Car Policy" in Germany, Spain, Switzerland and the Central Eastern Europe region, defining obligatory maximum CO2 levels that apply across the board, from field staff to executives. To complement this action, our Switzerland location organised a car-free day for the second year in a row and provides six NIVEA bikes, which the employees are free to use whenever they like. Many employees took part in the initiative on 25 July 2014 by coming to work afoot, by bicycle or with public transportation, to take a stand against CO2 emissions and their consequences for the climate. More of our employee engagement activities can be found here.
Beiersdorf Hamburg, in cooperation with the neighbouring company NXP Semiconductors, installed a StadtRAD bicycle station ("city bike") near the production sites and research centre in March 2014. The station makes available low-cost rental cycles that can be borrowed from and returned to any of the bicycle stations in the city network. Another 2014 initiative was the cooperative effort with the carsharing provider "DriveNow". At the beginning of July, numerous employees took advantage of the opportunity to register free of charge for the use of these shared vehicles. Both programmes are part of a comprehensive corporate mobility management approach that we are currently expanding. To get to know the mobility needs of our staff more precisely, we implemented an employee survey from 1 to 12 September 2014. The results will be used for the further development of our transport and mobility concept.

I am 43 years old. I have suffered erection malfunction although I am healthy and fit. My penis does not become 100% erected, just 75 %. I need to overcome this. Are there herbs or healthy foods I can use? I don't want drugs. What do you advise me?
Looking for more advice? There are 100 articles offering Great Sex Guidance in the Information Library.
You don't have an erection "malfunction." What you have is erection dissatisfaction, something very common among men in their forties. After around 40, most men notice that their erections are not as firm as they used to be–as you mentioned 75% instead of 100%. That's normal. That's not erectile dysfunction (ED). It's normal, age-related erection changes, which can be unnerving, but that's what happens to men over 40.
What to do about it? First try not to become worried. Anxiety triggers the fight-or-flight reflex that sends blood away from the central body, including the penis, to the arms and legs for self-defense or escape. In other words, anxiety reduce the amount of blood available for erection. Try to accept yourself and the erection changes that aging brings. I know this is difficult. But getting upset only makes things worse. Try to relax about your penis. I suggest you read the article Balky Erections? Or Erectile Dysfunction?
You asked about foods that might help. No foods can magically change things for you, but a diet based on plant foods (fruits, vegetables, grains, and legumes) definitely helps. Plant foods are very low in the kind of fat associated with narrowing of the arteries, which limits the blood supply to the penis. The bad fat is animal (saturated) fat. A diet high in animal fat (meat more than a few times a week) causes narrowing of the arteries not just in the penis, but all over the body. That's why a diet high in fatty meats is associated with heart disease. My advice: Limit the amount of meat you eat (beef, pork, lamb). Don't eat poultry skin either. I suggest you read the article Food and Sex.
Meanwhile, cigarettes also narrow the arteries and limit blood flow to the penis. If you smoke, quit. And alcohol is a central nervous system depressant that interferes with erection. Limit the amount you drink, especially in the hour or two before sex.
You asked about herbs that might help. Again, there's no magic herb that's going to give you rock-hard erections. But several herbs, notably ginseng, have been used to treat erection problems. Korean researchers gave 45 men with erection problems either a placebo or ginseng (900 mg three times a day). After eight weeks, the ginseng group experienced significant erection improvement. For more on this, and on other herbs with pro-sexual effects, I suggest that you read the article on Aphrodisiacs.
Vivaxil by nutraceutics may help. Take it an hour before.
Thank you very much for your advices
After complying with your instruction , I have felt better .

State's, region's growers say study predicting $5 per pound tomatoes is flawed
IMMOKALEE - Tomatoes for $5 a pound.
The Fresh Produce Association of the Americas predicted that in a recent study. The Nogales, Ariz.-based importers group warned of the "tomato cliff" if the U.S. Department of Commerce terminates a fresh tomato import trade agreement with Mexico at the request of Florida tomato growers.
In a late-January conference call with reporters, the association said if Mexican tomatoes are withdrawn from the U.S. market, prices for some hothouse tomatoes would double from $2.50 a pound to nearly $5 a pound.
Not so, responded growers from the state and Southwest Florida, where about 18,500 acres of tomatoes are grown in Southwest Florida. The tomato production in Southwest Florida is valued at $350 million a year.
Reggie Brown, executive director of the Florida Tomato Exchange, said the study is based on too many assumptions.
"It's simply a case of scare tactics by the Mexicans and import industry allied with the Mexicans," Brown said. "Now, they are trying to terrify the public and it's just unfortunate."It's simply a case of scare tactics by the Mexicans and import industry allied with the Mexicans."
Likewise, the Florida Tomato Exchange disputed the study.
"A recent study citing exaggerated price increases if the U.S. terminates an existing trade agreement with Mexico is built on the false premise that all Mexican tomatoes will be excluded from the U.S. market — under no circumstances will this be true," said Edward Beckman, president of Certified Greenhouse Farmers, in a statement.
"In fact, Certified Greenhouse Farmers believes there is room for all types of growers, and is advocating not to restrict trade, but rather to promote fair trade practices for all growers," he said. "What's more, growers from Certified Greenhouse Farmers — whose livelihoods are at risk due to impacts of the current agreement — believe there are a myriad of issues that need to be addressed beyond price."
Gene McAvoy, a Southwest Florida-based multi-county vegetable agent with the University of Florida/IFAS, said the report just creates fear and confusion for consumers.
"I don't think anybody wants them (Mexican growers) to withdraw," McAvoy said.
Instead, he said, Florida growers want Mexican growers to sell their tomatoes at a fair price were everyone can make a fair living, including the Florida farmers.
Florida produces much of the nation's winter tomatoes. Mexico is the largest competition for vegetable growers in the United States, while Brazil is the largest competition for the citrus industry.
A 25-pound box of tomatoes from Mexico costs about $5 each, compared with the cost of about $8 per box to produce tomatoes in Florida.
Growers maintain that a 1996 U.S.-Mexico agreement continues to hurt the state because Mexican growers are selling their tomatoes at unfairly low prices in the U.S., below a floor — or minimum selling — price for the fruit shipped into this country. Florida growers have long complained that Mexican counterparts are taking advantage of the Tomato Suspension Agreement to "dump" their product in the U.S.
A 25-pound box of tomatoes from Mexico costs about $5 each, compared with the cost of about $8 per box to produce tomatoes in Florida.
That puts tomatoes coming in from Mexico at a price below the cost of production, McAvoy said.
"They were basically dumping tomatoes on the market," McAvoy said. "What Florida (growers) want is a reasonable price that growers can live with."
If Florida growers get what they want, McAvoy said, the price would increase by 20 to 40 cents a pound, or retailers could take less of a profit. Today, the average price that supermarkets pay for tomatoes is 20 cents per pound.
Chuck Obern, owner of C & B Farms in the Devil's Garden growing area in Hendry County, said the recent report makes him laugh because it seems like the Mexican lobbyists are stronger than their counterparts in the U.S.
Obern, who has been farming for 26 years, said he stopped growing tomatoes this season because he couldn't compete with Mexico's prices anymore. He had grown tomatoes for more than seven years.
Now, he primarily grows leafy crops, including celery and cilantro — crops that Mexico isn't as strong in growing.
"The reason why all of this is occurring is because we are selectively using our trade policy to allow imports to come into this country without any kind of control," Obern said.
Tony DiMare, vice president for DiMare Co., a major Florida grower with about 4,000 acres of fields in Homestead, Immokalee and the Palmetto/Ruskin growing area near Tampa, said the claim made about prices doubling isn't accurate.
If the trade agreement is to be renewed, DiMare said, Florida growers suggest setting a new reference price that is realistic, monitored and raised according to inflation.
Growers want fair trade, which they haven't had in the past, DiMare said.
"We want the agreement to go away because we feel that it cannot be policed or enforced," he said.

Local Auto Racing Notebook: Storz competes in difficult Trials
Ventura's Eric Storz has returned from the Trials des Nations in Moutier, Switzerland.
The Trials des Nations is one of the most challenging motorsports in the world and involves riders navigating their motorcycles over seemingly impossible terrain.
"We experienced all types of weather including bright sunshine, rain, fog and overcast. The sections were similar to last year's Italian TDN, but were primarily traditional hillside sections with threes and fewer rocks," said Storz.
The women competed the first two days and the men competed on the third day.
Louise Forley led the women's team with a fifth-place finishing on the opening day.
Veteran team member Caroline Allen and rookie Rachel Hassler, who was impressive in her debut, rounded out the team.
The men took the course on Sunday after rain the previous day. Storz said the course was tricky. Cody Webb rode first for the men.
"Cody not only showed us the good lines, but he also proved that most of the 18 sections were cleanable," said Srorz.
The Americans scored only 44 points on the first lap.
"We made a significant improvement on Lap 2 with a 25-point total," said Storz. "Looking back, we could have been in contention for a podium position had we done better on the first loop as the second-place team in our International division had only 19 points fewer than we did."
Storz said team manager Kip Webb and minder Todd Roper were instrumental to the team's success.
Next year's TDN will be held in Le Chatre, France.
"I'm hoping to earn a spot on the team," said Storz.
Ventura Raceway will be dark Saturday night. Racing resumes Oct. 27 with the Ventura Racing Association Sprint Cars, Senior Sprints, Dwarf Cars, Sport Compacts, Mod Lites, Junior Midgets and Mini Dwarfs.
Motorcycles will race Nov. 3.
The All Coast Challenge for Sprint Cars will be the season finale on Nov. 10. Dwarf Cars, Focus Midgets and Go-Karts will round out the racing.

During the Pawtucket Soup Kitchen's Annual Thanksgiving Feast at St. Joseph's Church in Pawtucket, RI on Wednesday afternoon, November 24, 2010, Volunteer Kenneth LaFountaine(Pawtucket, RI) serves cranberry to a dinner plate which also includes turkey, stuffing, potatoes, sweet potatoes, corn and peas. There were two seatings, one at 12:00pm and a second one at 4:30pm which predominantly served the homeless, senior citizens and people who had been laid off, as well as other area residents in need.
