The World's Leading Authority on Halal Travel - Connecting you to the Muslim Traveller
With the growth of the Muslim travel market, tour operators and guides too need to have a thorough understanding of the special needs of Muslim guests in order to effectively attract and provide them with better services. Understanding the preferences and their nuances will help these tour guides provide a better service to this segment of travelers.
Starting any business can be a huge challenge and running a restaurant is one of the most challenging of all, yet it can also be one of the most rewarding and satisfying businesses in the world. Most restaurant owners are asking the question why they need to have halal food in their restaurant and the answer is that it helps them optimize the number of customers they serve and therefore it results in increased revenue.
The Muslim population is the fastest growing population in the world and since most countries have at least a small Muslim community it would definitely be smart to have halal options on the menu in order to draw this specific group of customers. Restaurateurs are starting to realize that catering to the demand of Halal food advantageous to all.
The Muslim travel market is being treated as a growth market asset class by an increasing number of countries around the world. Several countries are implementing steps that enable them to better-accommodate Muslim travellers. Japan is one such country and has been setting up Halal restaurants, prayer facilities and other important preconditions required by Muslim travellers.
With the Muslim travel market being amongst the highest-spending travel markets in the world, countries are expected to see a rise in tourism revenue following the expansion of Halal tourism.

Having been named a destination for the "best and most affordable healthcare" by International Living magazine, Malaysia is quickly becoming a popular destinations in South Asia for Halal medical tourism.
Though it is a relatively new player in the market, Malaysia's high quality care, lower costs and shorter recovery time have resulted in the number of foreign travellers seeking medical care in Malaysia to double to around 770,000 within the span of five years.
With use of the halal treatments, Malaysia expects a larger share of the Muslim market. By offering patients Halal options such as gelatin-free and porcine-free products, Malaysia aims to reach out to Halal-conscious patients by offering them a medical alternative.

The city of Chiba aims to earn the title of being the Muslim-friendly centre of Japan and hopes to attract more Muslim travellers in the future.
Local businesses in a range of fields and sectors are being encouraged by the municipal government to become more Muslim-friendly and are being told to implement steps that enable them to better serve Muslim travellers.

Prayer is the method of worship and the main connection of man to Allah (God) and is considered to be the most important obligation and duty of a Muslim. Abandoning prayer is considered to be a major sin that a Muslim can commit. Every Muslim is expected to pray five times a day and not praying is not an option. However Muslims do have the option of shortening and combining prayers when travelling.
Many hotels and restaurants around the world offer Ramadhan buffets to guests during the holy month of fasting. However, several of these premises are known to serve non-halal products and the question arises as to how genuinely Halal their Ramadhan buffets are.
Several Muslim scholars in Malaysia are pressing the need for such premises to obtain Halal certification in order to ensure that food being served comply with Halal rules and regulations. Ramadhan buffet promotions that are not in accordance to Halal standards have resulted in strict legal action being taken against them.

Muslim tourists around the world represent a fast growing niche market comprising of an affluent young demographic with unique needs. Many of these Muslim majority markets are fast emerging economies with high population growth and have some similar requirements pertaining to travel such as halal food, separate recreation facilities, prayer facilities and other Muslim-friendly facilities. However this sizeable Muslim tourist market is culturally diverse and widely distributed and therefore will have different habits and patterns of travel. Although this group of travelers can be segmented due to their common need of Muslim-friendly facilities, their destination preferences and travel habits and patterns might vary according to their age, travel purpose and the region they are from.
Muslim tourists globally represent the fastest growing travel segment in the world. With most of these travelers being young and married with families the decision process on where to holiday will be made by all the members in the family. The comfort level of the women and the facilities available to them will play an important role in deciding the holiday destination of these Muslim families. Like all holiday makers Muslim travelers too want to enjoy every single activity and experience the country through its sights sounds and flavors. Muslim travelers do have certain unique needs in comparison to their counterparts when they travel, like halal food, prayer facilities, separate leisure facilities and family activities, which is why they will have to look for destinations that have Muslim friendly-facilities so that they can enjoy their holiday like every other individual.
The Halal food and beverage market is on the rise, with research showing that it has expanded to a value worth $1.1 trillion in 2013.
The Halal food and beverage market - which includes products ranging from raw Halal meats to processed food and cold drinks - presently accounts for over 16% of the world's entire food and beverage market and is expected to increase to around $1.6 trillion over the next four years.

Oh my goodness! an amazing article dude. Thank you However I am experiencing concern with ur rss . Don't know why Unable to subscribe to it. Is there anyone getting equivalent rss downside? Anyone who knows kindly respond. Thnkx
Fake Goob should know, the Goobster wouldnt find comfort in a BMW dealership. Recent BMWs lack that special hook to keep the Goobs interest. Being a statue in a BMW dealership, looking at all those classic BMW designs caricatured into ruin with their new Camryesque sheet metal... This sounds like a punishment to me. Not to mention all the guys standing about wearing white dresses - thats just creepy.
No. Until the i8 comes out, BMW has nothing the Goob wants.
The Goob hath thusly corrected fake Goob.
Put in a statue of the Goob and this place would be perfect. The Goobster is a fusion of transcendent automotive wisdom and high cognitive ability, without whom this forum would be devoid of intelligent contribution, hence he should be celebrated in a manner commensurate with his stature. A statue in his honor at this BMW dealership sounds about right.
The Goob hath thusly ruled.

...ans so should you, you ignorant mother f.....!
Every car should be available in yellow, purple, orange and green or brown. That's right, all of them.
And people continue to cry about wealth distribution in the United States...
Hey look.... I found were all our gas money ends up....and thus completes the circle of life.
So...you can trade camel for a BMW. OK, but after you trade, what they do with the camel. Do they have a ... used camel lot ? And if BMW is not in the budget, how much is it for a used camel. I'm only assuming that is less expensive than 7 series and more than 3 series. And... if the camel is pregnant ... can you get used 7 series or a new 3 series for 1.5 camel ( I'm assuming that I would also need a medical records for the camel ). It can't be easy to buy BMW in UAE.
Seriously Man? I think the UAE happens to be one of the most prosperous and beautiful places on this entire planet...
-Your statement is completely false, invalid, and ignorant.
Having your own mom for girlfriend doesn't mean you shouldn't leave your zip and see there is more in world then just your trailer.
seriously a yellow 7 series??

The Military Page went global this week with the receipt of a letter from Simon Schuurman, a resident of the Netherlands who adopts graves of fallen soldiers and tries to gather information about the lives of American soldiers who died during World War II.
"I have always been interested in the second World War," Schuurman wrote. "We want to be able to honor the people who liberated Europe. I adopted five graves at two different cemeteries – one in Ardennes (France) and another in Henri-Chapelle in Belgium. One of these graves is from Private Joseph J. Czernia of the U.S. Army.
"Let me tell you what adopting graves is all about. We honor fallen soldiers on important days (Memorial Day, Christmas, etc.) to pay attention to these men. Many times, we are in contact with family of relatives of the soldier to let them know that someone is Europe is watching over their soldier.
"I am writing to you about Private Edward L. Almeida, who came from Pawtucket and is buried at St. Mary's Cemetery in his hometown. He was killed in action on the same day as Joseph Czernia. Possibly they were on the same patrol together. Maybe you have some information on Private Almeida so I can make my file on these two fallen soldiers more complete.
"His father's name was Albert Almeida. His mother was Sylvia. At the time of his death, they lived on 44 Derby Street in Pawtucket.
"Maybe there lives in Pawtucket some relatives of Private Almeida who can give me more information."
Anyone who can help this fine man with his search for information about Edward L. Almeida should send an email to email@example.com and we will forward it to Mr. Schuurman.

|The Grand Staff of the Grand Council of Knight Masons of the USA

|M.E. Kevin B. Sample, left, is congratulated by his predecessor,
M.E. Edward Fagan. Note the signet of office on Kevin's gloved finger.
"Aloha is more than a word of greeting or farewell or a salutation. Aloha means mutual regard and affection and extends warmth in caring with no obligation in return. Aloha is the essence of relationships in which each person is important to every other person for collective existence. Aloha means to hear what is not said, to see what cannot be seen and to know the unknowable."Hawai`i Revised Statutes Section 7.5
In exercising their power on behalf of the people and in fulfillment of their responsibilities, obligations and service to the people, the legislature, governor, lieutenant governor, executive officers of each department, the chief justice, associate justices, and judges of the appellate, circuit, and district courts may contemplate and reside with the life force and give consideration to the "Aloha Spirit." [L 1986, c 202, §1]
This Brother is a Pennsylvania Past Master. He is a lifelong student of the martial, meditative and metaphysical arts having received the title of Kahu from Kahu Lanakila K. Brandt on the Big Island of Hawai`i along with permission to teach the ancient Hawai`ian metaphysical tradition known as po`ohuna. He is also a lineage disciple in the Chinese/Hawai`ian martial arts style of Grand Master Daniel K. Pai and the founder of Dragon Moon Martial Arts Association in Bristol, Pennsylvania. He is a member of four Blue Lodges, including Honolulu Lodge, and a member of numerous appendant Masonic bodies. An attorney at law by profession, he enjoys the history, teachings, tradition, and universal brotherhood found in the ancient and gentle Craft of Freemasonry.
|Bro. Alton G. Roundtree,
Blue Friar No. 100
|M.I. Franklin Boner invests our new
Grand Chancellor, M.I. Martin Starr,
with the jewel of office.
"There is nothing here that does not present the opportunity for much contemplation. Apply yourself to it. To investigate mysteries is not forbidden to a noble student of wisdom. But do not err by placing too much confidence in your own opinions. The heart of man has its own hidden lacunae, and love of discovery makes one proud, and leads from one error to another. If you share your ideas with your Master, and lend yourself to his instruction, I do not doubt that when you become more familiar with our mysteries, which may still appear rather obscure to you now, you will praise three times that very day when you succeed in rejoicing in the Light."
"You still find the doors to the innermost part closed. But I must not forget to mention the seven steps which you were so happy to climb today, and by which we actually brought you nearer to the entrance to the door of our sanctuary. They represent the seven principal virtues of a Freemason: obedience, silence, constancy, brotherly love, charity, courage, and resolution in death.
"These excellent qualities should not be lacking in any true Freemason; they are not mere adornments, but are rather essential parts of a good Brother. Obedience is the basis of all, and resolution in death is the last and most sublime test of our fidelity.
"Let everything, my Brother, that you have learned of our mysteries, be eternally locked away in your heart from all those who are outside. Submit to those who, as honest and true Brethren, offer you a helpful hand. Follow those whom we honor as the Superiors of our Lodges, and in the future they will open to you the inner sanctuary of our secret edifice, since you, my Brother, will explore the most profound sources of our mysteries, and will, as is much as is humanly possible, search and fathom them. If you discover something here and there that is obscure, then recall that the way to perfection is never free of all difficulties, and that wisdom often lays obstacles in the way, in order to keep lesser souls back, and to stimulate virtue."
"You further beheld the body of a murdered victim, who was completely covered with blood. We have maintained this custom since time immemorial, as a sure sign that those who approach us are not condemned by their consciences for evil deeds, that they are pure and innocent, and that we can take them as true and faithful members into our bosom. What has been our reason for this I cannot yet reveal to you. Perhaps your own thoughts will lead you down the track of this mysterious custom...."
Past Grand Chancellor Franklin Boner, center, greets our two new recipients
of the Knight Grand Cross. Fellow Matthew Gibbon and Fellow Scott Schlappi
have been the brave guardians of the registration table for many years.

As was reported on Saturday, Eddie Alvarez has suffered a concussion and has been scratched from next weekend's Bellator 120 card.
With Alvarez no longer available to defend his BMMA lightweight title on May 17, the promotion has announced that champ will be replaced by Will Brooks, and that the pair will duke it out for a 155 pound interim belt. "Ill Will" is the season nine BMMA lightweight tournament winner and stands a professional record of 13 – 1, with a 62% finishing rate; four TKOs', four submissions.
The other big news regarding the Southaven, Mississippi card, is that the Quinton Jackson vs. Muhammed Lawal light-heavyweight tournament finale will now be headlining the pay-per-view event.
With Alvarez out and his belt off the table, it'll be interesting to see how Bellator's inaugural fee-for-see offering is received minus Alvarez vs. Chandler III.
The Bellator 120 card stands as follows:
Bellator Light Heavyweight Tournament Final: Rampage Jackson (34-11) vs. King Mo (12-3)
Bellator Interim Lightweight World Title Fight: Michael Chandler (12-1) vs. Will Brooks (13-1)
Bellator Light Heavyweight Fight: Alexander Shlemenko (50-7) vs. Tito Ortiz (16-11-1)
Bellator Heavyweight Tournament Final: Blagoi Ivanov (11-0) vs. Alexander Volkov (20-4)

While Italian specialties are served during the week, the Sunday menu offers a taste of Poland, with such favorites as tripe soup, breaded pork cutlet, stuffed cabbage rolls, hunters' stew, and pierogi. If you're adventurous, you might try (dill) pickle cream soup or the beef knuckles. Dessert is poppy seed cake or crepes.
Co-owner Greg Ryczkowski, a Polish-American, formerly owned the Polish restaurant Old Krakow in South San Francisco. His partner, Artur Wlodarski, just arrived in this country from Poland 11 months ago.
Bona, located at 651-H Maloney Lane, near Oak Grove Avenue, replaces Brunello Ristorante Italiano, which closed after two years.
Bona's entrees include veal piccata served with sauteed spinach and parmesan risotto, salmon in pink peppercorn sauce with carrots and green beans, scaloppini of chicken breast with roasted potato and spinach, and braised beef short ribs served on polenta. Bona also serves ravioli, rigatoni, penne and gnocchi with a variety of sauces. The lunch menu includes soup, panini, and salads.
The restaurant is named Bona after an Italian princess of the Milanese House of Sforza, who became the second wife of the king of Poland, Sigismund "the old," in 1518. As queen, she was influential in introducing pasta, herbs and vegetables into the hearty Polish diet, according to the restaurant's menu. Surfing the Internet, you find several Bona restaurants on the East Coast, all featuring Italian-Polish cuisine.
Bona is open Tuesday through Sunday. Lunch is served Tuesday through Friday. Dinner is served nightly, with Polish specialties available from 3 to 9 p.m. on Sunday. There is also a complete take-out menu. For reservations, call 328-2778.

Reviews of Mushara Lodge
They do not necessarily represent the views of Expert Africa.
Mushara Lodge review
We were made to feel very welcome here - not just by receptionists and management, but by all staff we met. The whole experience was sharp contrast with Waterberg Plateau Lodge.
We chose Mushara as a base for visiting Eastern Etosha, and for this it was excellently placed.
Rooms were well-equipped and very spacious - not luxurious but clean, comfortable and equipped with everything you could reasonably ask for - backed by the very positive attitude of staff, and good communal facilities (pool, sitting areas).
We would unhesitatingly stay there again, and would recommend it to even fussy friends.
Mushara Lodge review
After the rather basic food at Okaukuejo Restcamp it was lovely to have quality food and attentive service at this beautiful lodge just outside Etosha. You could stay here and visit the park.
We had stayed in the park so went to Tsumeb which was a small town with banks, shops and a few museums. Would recommend the lodge - lovely visit.
Ideally situated for East Etosha
The Lodge is ideally located a short drive from the eastern gate of Etosha and we spent a very pleasant 2 nights here. The staff were very friendly and welcoming throughout and both food and service was of a high standard.
Rooms were comfortable and apart from the bathroom in need of some updating, were stylish and modern. The Lodge does offer game drives into the park but we decided to self drive.
Thoroughly pleasant place to stay
We have stayed there before and were looking forward to being there again.
We were not disappointed, and hope to stay there yet again.
Mushara Lodge review
An excellent pool (best on our trip)
Not as good as previous visit. Pity.
We stayed here 4 years ago and it was so convenient for Etosha, relaxing, good food etc.
The refurbishment is fine, but there is no atmosphere.. staff can never replace hosts..it doesn't work. People make a place
memorable, unless it is truely exceptional.
The restaurant ..although almost full was like a doctor's waiting room. Also a few people had upset stomaches and it was possibly due to the fact that food is put out to encourage the animals and birds.... Very cute to see them around the pool Maybe.. BUT..We went early for breakfast and there were squirrels eating the cereals..on the tables, everywhere. Then a couple of Hornbills helped themselves to bread etc.
They were shooed off when someone came out of the kitchen and it obviously happens every day !!
Expert Africa comments
Marc Pampe, Mushara's owner, replied that he used to spend 24/7 at the lodge, whereas now he's only there for 12 hours a day. He's trained up his staff, and handed them a lot of responsibility; he feels that most of his guests like this. He's pleased that the lodge has changed this way over the last few years.
We are sorry that these travellers felt that Mushara lacked ambiance; they specifically asked to stay here because of their previous experience. Mushara has changed in the last four years; it's now more like a smart, small hotel than an informal, personal lodge. This suits some, but not others. We'd usually have lengthy discussions with our travellers about the pro's and con's of where to stay – but in this case we didn't discuss Mushara much; perhaps we should have.
These travellers report that other at the lodge had stomach upsets. Marc comments that nobody mentioned this to him or his staff. As this didn't affect our travellers, it's difficult for us to make any comments here.
We're told by Marc that the lodge doesn't put food out for birds or squirrels. In fact, both their check-in information sheet and also a note on each outside table urge guest not to feed the birds and squirrels. Unfortunately, many guests do still feed the animals – and hence the problem. Marc assures us that he's looking at how to reinforce this message without harming the wildlife.
Mushara Lodge review
Mushara is a lovely lodge. There was a warm welcome for us and it was clear from the outset that they were a service oriented team.The food was excellent, the staff pleasant and the lovely garden and pool a great place to relax.
On our second night we were entertained at dinner by an impromtu performance by the kitchen and waiting staff singing some of their tribal songs. It was a real treat and gave us another dimention to the african way off life in Etosha.
Mushara Lodge review
The food here was excellent.
Everything else also very good, except that the rooms were very, very brown. This made them rather depressing, and we wouldn't have wanted to spend much time in them.
Sweat box - Mushara Villa !
Although we received an upgrade due to an error re dates, the Mushara Villa was a complete let down and not the wonderful end to our holiday that we expected.
Albeit the Villa being exquisite and more than we could want for a one night stay, I was very pleased that we only had 1 night to suffer.
Lack of ventilation was the problem. For such an amazing place, this was the worse nights sleep we had all holiday. For such a large villa, there was one very small air-con unit above the door and 1 ceiling fan above the bed, which was neither use nor ornament as no ventilation came through the mosquito netting.
Further disappointment was met the final morning when we were up bright and early to venture back into Etosha for sunrise, as the days previously had been too cloudy to take the best photos. The receptionist saw us, said good morning and watched us leave the lodge in our car. When we arrived at the exit gate to Mushara Lodge it was locked and we had to drive all the way back to reception to arrange for someone to unlock it - 20 minutes later, we had missed sunrise and the last chance of some amazing photos in Etosha. To say I was upset was an understatement. Needless to say, we will not be staying at Mushara again !
The final 2 anomalies came at breakfast when my partner asked for a cheese omelette and enquired whether they did bacon, the server said no, but offered ham. My partner said OK to this. The server then turned to the next table for their breakfast order and the guest asked for scrambled egg with BACON - to our utter amazement she said no problem. Is there some kind of double standard here - we were flabbergasted !!??!!
After breakfast we checked out and purchased 2 items from the gift shop, prior to leaving for Windhoek. We placed the items on reception along with the money. The receptionist did not take the money nor offer to wrap the goods. I stood around awkwardly for a few moments, before asking if the money was correct - she said yes without looking up from the computer, at this point I expected her to hand the goods to me, she did not, so I eventually picked them up and left - still without a bag. We did not return to reception, we just made our getaway as swiftly as possible. What a strange place.
I have to say the upgrade to the villa was not worth whatever you had to pay and I would not stay there again!! A complete and utter disappointment.
Expert Africa comments
Clearly Villa Mushara didn't suit these travellers – despite being one of the most luxurious places in the area, and despite us upgrading them to this for no extra cost.
This Villa has three sliding doors, a ceiling fan, windows which open, and each room has a sophisticated 4-speed air-conditioning unit. However, these travellers visited during a hot period – when even the best air-con units will take time to cool a big room. Mushara assures us that the air-con unit is working correctly, as so we assume that somehow it wasn't set up correctly on that night. It's not a problem that any of our travellers have had previously – and we've asked the lodge to try and ensure that it doesn't happen again.
Each night Mushara's main gate at is locked; to open again at sunrise the following morning. Each evening Mushara's staff ask each group of travellers during dinner if any wake up call, or any special arrangements, are needed for the following morning. If anyone wants to leave early the next morning, then usually the Mushara team open the gates early, in plenty of time. This system seems to have broken down for these travellers. We're very sorry, as is Mushara – who have assured us that there won't be similar problems in the future.
Similarly … the comments regarding the service at breakfast and in the gift shop have been taken very seriously by Villa Mushara, and looked into in detail. We're sure that these were misunderstandings – and not part of any wider problem.
Mushara Lodge review
We rate this as average because, although in many ways it was nice - the pool, the food (if a little salty) and the nice furniture in the reception areas - it was missing something that for a lodge of this cost you would expect. Comments have been made in the past about the fact that the owners no longer host and there can be no doubt that this IS a problem.
It feels as if everyone there is working to a protocol and the passion is missing. The girl who welcomed us pulled a luggage trolley with our luggage but did nothing to assist in getting the luggage in and out of the trolley and into the rooms. It felt as if it wasn't in her job description to do so and was therefore left to us. Normally I have no problem with doing my own fetching and carrying but not at this price.
The concern we raised about the airconditioning not working in the children's room was ignored and when we checked out we were incorrectly billed. A place like that needs the attention to detail displayed at Sossus Dune Lodge. It was missing. A disappointing stay. Wth the exception of a very nice game drive with Petrus who went out of his way to give us a good time.
Expert Africa comments
We put these points to Mushara Lodge, who have taken them on board.
There was clearly an air-con problem, which the receptionist returned to the children's room to fix at least three times. We're sorry if this wasn't resolved completely.
The lodge apologied to these travellers and to us for the small error on the bill, which was rectified on the spot.
Mushara also wanted to point out that they felt the lodge is very good value at about N$750 (£55) per person per night, which is actually over 50% less than the cost of Sossus Dune Lodge.

"The vehicle is in great shape with less than 64,000 miles and should provide someone with excellent transportation. It was my father's personal car and he took excellent care of it." commented Dennis Sanders. "I, myself, am a member of the Franklin Club and very proud to see our club providing scholarships to deserving students."

Homeschooling and the computer: a match made in heaven? In many ways, yes. Homeschoolers can access lessons from online sites to successfully complete their education goals, but with a couple of caveats.
First, the online lessons must be separate from public schools. Take the recent debate over a Herndon, Virginia-based provider of full-time public virtual schools called K12 Inc., with its various nationwide components, such as Virginia Virtual Academy, Florida Virtual School, and Massachusetts Virtual Academy. These are always incorporated into one of the states' official public school districts. Thus, the twist on K12 Inc.: the word public, meaning tax-supported, and therefore subject to government oversight, with all the various "strings" and biases that go along with the federal government's schools.
K12 Inc. is presented "as a way to teach a small segment of the home-schooled and others who need flexible schooling." "For many kids, the local school doesn't work," the Washington Post article quoted Ronald J. Packard, chief executive and founder of K12, as saying. He added: "And now, technology allows us to give that child a choice. It's about educational liberty."
Post writers Lyndsey Layton and Emma Brown allow that "virtual education has evolved into an alternative to traditional public schools for an increasingly wide range of students — high achievers, strugglers, dropouts, teenage parents and victims of bullying among them."

State agencies welcome greater accountability in exchange for spending control
Gov. Rick Scott's latest attempt to run government more like a business would grant three state agencies broad spending discretion in exchange for stricter accountability.
While some criticize the move as a step toward inequitable public policy, others, including the agencies, say the plan will wrest efficiencies and encourage public scrutiny from government. The provision is part of Scott's budget proposal announced last week and is a bite-sized version of the kind of accountability-based budgeting he campaigned on.
Before the 2011 legislative session, Scott suggested budgeting the whole state under the model but failed to convince the Legislature. His new, scaled-back plan designates pilot agencies: the Department of Revenue, the Department of Law Enforcement and the Office of Financial Regulation.
Instead of the Legislature exercising line-by-line control over spending, the agencies would be given lumps of money for broad service categories to spend as they see fit. The catch is that managers' salaries would be on the line, with pay raises or cuts tied to whether they meet specific, objective goals for each service.
Ideally for Scott, the agencies' budgets would shrink. As for the agencies, they're apparently thrilled with the trade-off.
"I want less money if you'll give me the flexibility and the tools," said Tom Grady, a Naples resident and close friend of Scott, who was recently appointed commissioner of the Office of Financial Regulation. "My job is to be a good steward of taxpayer money."
Since Scott became governor almost a year ago, the former businessman has pressured the government to cut costs, find efficiencies and be held more accountable.
Although the idea is popular in the Republican-controlled Legislature, accountability budgeting, as it's called, would strip lawmakers of their traditional authority over expenses.
"The Legislature in Florida is used to having its hand in the smallest details when it comes to government spending," said R. Bruce Anderson, an associate political science professor at Florida Southern College. "When you take that away, that's problematic."
He said forfeiting spending decisions would constrain their ability to "bring home the bacon" by funneling money into their districts. Conversely, it could be a way for the Legislature to realize unpopular cuts without taking the blame, he said.
And wrenching businesslike efficiency out of some agencies could devastate entitlement programs, which the state pays for at enormous taxpayer cost, said Lance deHaven-Smith, a public policy expert at Florida State University.
"In the private sector, you're mostly concerned about efficiency, cost, market share," deHaven-Smith said. In the public sector, "equity is a big issue."
Scott's budget proposal includes no tax increases and pays for an increased investment in education with a large cut to Medicaid, as well as cuts to other programs. Justifying it, he said hospitals should be forced to find efficiencies in the face of skyrocketing Medicaid costs. Hospitals have said they already lose money treating low-income patients.
None of the three test agencies for accountability budgeting oversees Medicaid reimbursements. But officials said that if the Legislature allows the pilot in 2012, it could expand the model to more agencies in 2013.
"I think the Legislature is very receptive but very uncertain about how this would be implemented statewide," Grady said. "So if they can see it work in a couple agencies, then they'll see it's a good thing."
Like Grady's office, the other two agencies were also on board with the budgeting plan before they were picked. The governor's office said all three were consulted on what performance measures to use and already "had a good history of tracking and measurement."
For example, in the Department of Revenue, Scott would tie its $40 million budget for support payments to needy children to a requirement that the department make 98 percent of those payments within two days. Failure to meet that goal would mean pay cuts for managers and a mandatory "improvement plan."
But the Department of Revenue says it had already set that goal, and others, for itself.
"While some of the measures represent stretch goals for the department, many require the department to maintain an already high level of performance," spokeswoman Renee Watters wrote in an email.
The Department of Law Enforcement has also set goals for itself, but they were never tied to incentives or disincentives, said spokeswoman Gretl Plessinger. She welcomed the spending flexibility.
"I think for the FDLE, this is an opportunity for us to enhance our services," Plessinger said.
How the Legislature will respond is still unclear.
Rep. Trudi Williams, R-Fort Myers, said she would likely line up behind the governor, calling for greater accountability in government, but she said has not seen the details of the proposal. Democrats, meanwhile, see the business shift as alarming.
"I certainly agree with holding departments accountable for their performance," said Rep. Rick Kriseman, D-St. Petersburg. "But a lot of the time, their success or failure is determined by what their limitations are."

Southern Nevada's largest nonprofit hospice, Nathan Abelson Hospice, has been nationally recognized as one of the "Best Places to Work in Healthcare" for 2014.
This makes the third time the hospice has won this award.
Chosen by Modern Healthcare, Nathan Adelson Hospice will be recognized at an awards gala on Oct. 23 in Chicago.
The award is based on results from an organization-wide Employee Engagement and Satisfaction Survey filled out by Nathan Adelson Hospice employees, as well as employee comments from open-ended questions.
Results from the survey were compared to national benchmarking data to identify award winners.

|Boone Woman Arrested on Attempted Murder Charges Against a Juvenile
|Written by Adam Hicks
|Tuesday, 09 March 2010 12:40
5:40 p.m. - A Boone woman faces attempted murder charges after allegedly shooting a 12-year-old boy and firing at his 11-year-old brother in Mt. Pleasant on Friday.
Cabarrus County Sheriff Brad Riley said 48-year-old Patti Hatcher Campbell is believed to have pulled into a driveway and the 12-year-old boy came out of the house to approach her vehicle, when she stepped out of the vehicle and fired at him. The bullet entered the boy's right shoulder and exited on the right side of his neck. The boy's mother and brother heard the gunshots and came to the house. Campbell is then believed to have fired at the victim's brother twice, missing him both times. The victim's mother and brother were able to wrestle the gun away from Campbell.

COLTON - A feud between students at Colton-Pierrepont Central School and another unidentified school district that began on Facebook came to a head Monday afternoon when a gun was waved out the window of a vehicle driving through the parking lot at the school.
In a statement posted on the districts Facebook page Monday evening, Colton-Pierrepont Central School Superintendent Joseph A. Kardash wrote, We had a suspicious vehicle in the north parking lot (where high school students park) after school today (Monday). While exiting the property a passenger in the vehicle waved an object out the window that may have been a gun.
He continued, For safety reasons, all students were brought into the building and all doors were locked. Once the police arrived to secure the premises, parents, were called to pick up students and after school activities were cancelled.
Mr. Kardash closed the statement by saying police had already identified suspects and were conducting their investigation.
There are currently no continuing concerns for student safety related to this incident, he wrote.
When reached at home Monday night, Mr. Kardash confirmed that there was a gun involved in the incident.
The troopers informed me in the end there was a gun, but they have yet to find it, he said, adding no shots were fired and no one was injured.
While Mr. Kardash said hes not sure exactly how many students were in or at the school at the time of the incident, he said there were quite a few kids, noting a lacrosse practice, softball practice and play practice were in progress at the time.
The incident, he said, began as a feud on Facebook, involving an unknown number of students from Colton-Pierrepont and another district.
He said those Facebook posting have aided the police investigation into the incident. Their leads began on Facebook, which eventually led them to the suspect, he said.
I understand it to have been started by a Facebook feud, he said, noting that as of 10 p.m. Monday he did not yet have a list containing the names of the involved students or transcripts of what was said.
Mr. Kardash did say based on the information he has received so far there were no plans to discipline any students from his district.
I would like to compliment all of the adults and students involved for acting professional and following instructions, which helped to keep everybody safe, he said, adding hes also pleased with the response from state police and their handling of the investigation.
The New York State Police did an amazing job, he said.
State police declined comment on the incident Monday night, noting their investigation into the incident remained ongoing.

SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) -- Crude-oil futures tumbled Friday to close at their lowest level in 17 months, down 11% for the week, as a production cut by some of the world's key oil producers failed to ease concerns over a slowdown in oil demand.
"The market isn't interested in supply issues with world demand the question," said Darin Newsom, a senior analyst at DTN.
The Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries will slash its oil production quota of 28.8 million barrels per day by 1.5 million barrels, beginning November 1, as the world's financial crisis dampened demand for energy, the cartel said Friday at a meeting in Vienna.
Crude for December delivery closed at $64.15 per barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange, down $3.69, or 5.4% for the session to lose 11.1% for the week. That was the lowest closing price for a front-month futures contract since May 31, 2007.
In electronic trading on Globex, the contract touched a low of $62.65.
Prices have lost more than $80, or 56%, from their record high above $147 a barrel hit in July.
Crude's losses came amid broad declines in other commodities and in global stock markets. The Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA, +0.82% slumped nearly 4%. See Market Snapshot.
"In the current environment of a rapidly strengthening dollar and deteriorating economic indicators, the short-term price risk remains skewed to the downside" for oil, analysts at Credit Suisse wrote in a research note.
"Oil prices have witnessed a dramatic collapse -- unprecedented in speed and magnitude -- these falling to levels which may put at jeopardy many existing oil projects and lead to the cancellation or delay of others, possibly resulting in a medium-term supply shortage," OPEC said in its statement. See full OPEC story.
"They're trying not to prop up, but stabilize prices," said Vera de Ladoucette, Cambridge Energy Research Associates' senior director of Middle East Research.
'They're trying not to prop up, but stabilize prices.'
"Demand is collapsing," she said. "And actually what dawned on them this time is that demand was not there."
"What they're trying to do is prevent inventories from growing in the fourth quarter [of this year] and first quarter of next year," she said.
The slowdown in oil demand is "serving to exacerbate the situation in a market which has been over-supplied with crude for some time," OPEC said in its statement. "Forecasts indicate that the fall in demand will deepen, despite the approach of winter in the northern hemisphere."
OPEC said earlier this month that global oil consumption will grow 550,000 barrels a day this year compared with a year ago, down 330,000 barrels from last month's forecast. Total consumption will stand at 86.5 million barrels a day, said the cartel, which controls nearly 40% of the world's oil production. See full story.
Trim down
Although OPEC said it was going to cut its production ceiling, it's important to note that the cartel's members often produce more than their quotas, analysts said. Total OPEC production stood at 32 million barrels a day in September, according to OPEC's latest monthly report.
The official production quota is currently 28.8 million barrels, and it will be cut by 1.5 million in November.

The second most important royal wedding of the year is taking place this Saturday and you should expect to see just as many famous faces as there were at Will and Kate's nuptials. CBS got their hands on the invite list for the marriage of Albert of Monnaco and Charlene Wittstock and it features no shortage of bold-faced names.
Demi Moore and Ashton Kutcher were seen at Wittstock's wedding shower in May and are expected to attend the wedding along with James Bond actor Roger Moore and model Karolina Kurkova. Other guests include the prince's ex-girlfriend, Naomi Campbell and Mel Gibson, who is apparently very close to the groom.
Joining the celebrities will be a number of royals and politicians from around the world including the Princess of Spain, the King of Sweden, and French president Nicolas Sarkozy (with his wife, Carla Bruni, of course). In addition, fashion royal Karl Lagerfeld will be in attendance.
As the date nears, rumors have swirled that the wedding between Prince Albert, son of Grace Kelly, and his fiance, a former olympic swimmer, may be called off. The couple's spokeswoman vigorously denied reports that Wittstock got cold feet and fled to South Africa, saying "These rumors only serve to gravely hurt the image of the Sovereign, and that of Miss Wittstock, and bring major harm to this happy event."
While Wittstock is no Kate Middleton, she is friends with Karl, which means Saturday should make for some good sartorial people watching.

Mark Twain
Writing Career
While in the Nevada Territory, Sam resumed writing humorous sketches and travel letters and began using the pseudonym, Mark Twain, a term for water that is only two fathoms — twelve feet — deep. Twain continued to sign his more serious pieces as "S. L. Clemens," but the farces, hoaxes, and satires that were to make him famous were now authored by "Mark Twain." With the realization that he had an audience for his brand of bawdy humor, Twain began to travel extensively and write humorous travel letters for the San Francisco Alta California. The Alta California sponsored his steamship journey from New York to the Mediterranean, and the resulting travel letters increased his audience and admirers; Twain's literary rise was under way.
Between 1864 and 1870, Twain contributed articles and travel letters to various newspapers and published Innocents Abroad (1869). After a long courtship, he married Olivia Langdon, daughter of Jervis Langdon, in 1870. Olivia proved to be a tempering influence on the often-moody Twain, and her family's abolitionist views on slavery influenced Twain and his writings. As with Olivia's father, Jervis, Twain eventually became friends with Frederick Douglass and supported the antislavery movement.
Because of the acclaim of Innocents Abroad, Twain gave up his career as a journalist-reporter and began concentrating on short stories and books. Using the method of parlaying his short story success into collections, Twain's fame as a writer was immediate, and Innocents Abroad became a bestseller. The satire Twain used to expose the so-called sophistication of the Old World, in contrast to the old-fashioned American common sense, is similar to that found some ten years later in A Tramp Abroad (1880), The Prince and the Pauper (1881), and A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court (1889), when Hank Morgan confronts nobility and knighthood.
But it was the Mississippi River and the values of the people living along its shores that have made Twain one of America's best and favorite storytellers. The humor that he found among the small one-horse towns, along with the culture of the Mississippi, has continued to fascinate readers and to embody an almost mythic sense of what it meant to be a young American in the latter part of the nineteenth century.
In 1876, Twain captured these elements in The Adventures of Tom Sawyer. Despite its contemporary reception, Tom Sawyer's publication was overshadowed by the deaths of George Custer and his calvary at Little Big Horn. But the book's popularity would grow throughout Twain's lifetime, and by the time of his death, it was his best-selling novel. Twain's most controversial work, however, was to come nine years later. In 1885, the Adventures of Huckleberry Finn was published among much publicity and fanfare. Huck Finn ensured Twain's place among the literary giants, and the work would prove to be Twain's most studied and critically acclaimed novel.
Later Years
After Twain turned fifty, his fortunes reversed themselves. His health began to fail, and in 1894, he was forced to declare bankruptcy due to his investment in a failed automatic typesetter, a publishing company that drained more of his money than it earned him. His failures with moneymaking ventures extended to his family, and he suffered through the illnesses and deaths of those whom he loved. His wife, Olivia, struggled with her health and soon became a semi-invalid; one of his daughters developed epilepsy; and his oldest daughter died of meningitis. Twain's comment that "the secret source of Humor itself is not joy but sorrow" became painfully realized, and by the end of the nineteenth century, Twain's writings reflected his dark view of life.
Overall, the 1890s were Twain's blackest decade. Twain and his family lived throughout Europe in hopes that the weather would improve the health of all the family members, but they sorely missed their home in Hartford, Connecticut, and the Langdon house at Quarry Farm in Elmira, New York. In 1894, Twain published Pudd'nhead Wilson, in which he confronted the slave-holding South and the question of nature versus nurture. Following a lecture trip around the world to raise money to repay his many creditors, he brought out a series of mostly unremarkable books, including Personal Recollections of Joan of Arc, Tom Sawyer Abroad, and Tom Sawyer, Detective, all published in 1896.
In 1900, Twain's short story "The Man That Corrupted Hadleyburg" was printed and proved to be one of his bleakest works. In it, Twain argued that human beings have no choice in what they do, no matter how much they think they are free to choose; rather, decisions are based selfishly on what will best help the individual. Twain's only darker view of humanity, published posthumously, was the fragmented The Mysterious Stranger, in which he condemned the universe and mocked the pitiful relations to one another and God.
On April 19, 1910, some 75 years after its last appearance, Halley's comet again reached its perihelion. Two days later, American's greatest humorist died at sunset at Stormfield, Twain's home near Redding, Connecticut. Olivia had died almost six years earlier, and Twain — "worn out in body and spirit," according to one critic — greatly missed his wife's company.

Young-trepreneurs-A A +A
Sunday, April 27, 2014
AGE is just a number, and if you think it is a hindrance in pursuing your passion, then apparently you have not encountered these four entrepreneurs—yuppies who pursued ventures while they were students.
Read all about how these youngsters put their skill, initiative and ingenuity to good use. Who knows? With summertime in full swing and all this free time on your hands, you just might be inspired to start a biz project of your own.
A sweet start
Luis A. Quibranza III
Sometimes, you strike gold in the most unlikely places. For Justinne Lou Go, who studied at the International Culinary Arts Academy Cebu, baking wasn't exactly something she liked, as she preferred doing work in a hot kitchen.
"Ironically, baking is neither my forte nor among my greatest interests," shares the culinarian. "But 'survival of the fittest' compelled me to delve into this business for better chances of surviving summer time, penniless," recalls Justine, on her drive to raise some money for one
summer, launched her humble homebased business, Team Brownie.
"My dream for Team Brownie is for it to become a brand concept that should be fitting for franchise with stalls in malls and lifestyle arcades in
the country. Also, I wish for it to be among the staple stock of treats in Filipino households," states Justinne about her vision for the product in the future.
To achieve this, she would have to juggle work and study as she's currently in her third year taking up a Bachelor of Science degree in Nutrition and Dietetics at the University of San Carlos.
There have been various takes on brownies and numerous concepts on how to serve it. Justinne thought of packaging her brownie cakes as "instant desserts," where people can bring home a few cups to heat at home themselves.
You basically grab a cup, heat it in a microwave, and add some ice cream
for good measure.
Her brand is gaining popularity among the youth, most especially those who are often online. Justinne promotes her products online and for now does meet-ups with interested customers. Currently, the brand offers the following fl avors: Dark Fudge, Red Velvet, S'mores, Salted Caramel,
Cookie Butter and Choco Mint.
Besides meet-ups, people can grab Team Brownie at The Chillage at the ground floor of the Andama Building North Reclamation, Mandaue City, Cebu; or the different branches of Sprockets Café, namely at Escario St., Talamban and Baseline Residences.
Nikki the 'negosyante'
Joanna Cuenco
Nikki Acriche started her online shop, Bullyshanty (a name coined from her barkada and the tail end of negosyante) in 2007 when she was a college student, riding on the trend of online shopping. Starting with a capital of just P3,000 for seven pairs of shorts, she's grown her business and been able to sustain her lifestyle. This includes a vacation in Thailand, Vietnam and Cambodia. With help from her dad, she was also able to buy a secondhand car.
"Be careful not to spend all your earnings, even if it's exciting," Nikki advises, as she continues to use some of her profits to buy more stocks to sell. Having Mom as a personal "banker" certainly helps with managing finances!
Nikki's entrepreneurial streak began early on, selling stickers to her classmates back in first grade. Depending on the trends and what she can find, her current bestsellers are monopods and power banks.
"I won't sell things I personally wouldn't use," Nikki says. "It's hard to sell something if you don't believe in it."
A seller has to manage time with inquiries, joy reservers, and taking good photos, but Nikki finds happiness in meeting people. "I'm really busy because of my medical internship," Nikki says, "but I do my best to find a balance, because my shop is close to my heart. I really enjoy what I do."
Gorelicious' wear
Jessica Servande Losorata
HE USED to custom paint his old kicks and tees. Then his friends wanted him to do theirs too. The pro bono activity went on for a while, for the fun of it. It was only a little later when Ken Hensly Racho, now 25, was out to grab the world by the head with his "gorelicious" clothing line, Mermollie Ink.
Ken's brainchild began back in college when he was still scribbling his way through a graphics and media college course. He thought he could mass-produce his creations at home and squeeze in some at school.
Freelancer at night, student in the morning. That was him. Sometimes, when the class was stuck on boring Algebra discussions, he would sneak in a little business work. That was still him. When education put a demand on his time, his family took care of the business instead.
Sleepless nights, stretched academic years. It was all worth it. Last year, Ken earned his bachelor degree at the Cebu Institute of Technology–
The business made him realize he's good at the very thing he'd always wanted to do— art. Eventually, his products mushroomed all over the global apparel scene.
Google the brand, alright. Or, check in at The Slime Store, the official Mermollie Ink retail shop in Osmeña Blvd. in Capitol Site, Cebu City.
Starting a clothing line or any business is always a gamble, but wearing your heart on your sleeve sets you on the right track. Burst with activity as soon as the bulb lights up. At least, that's the case for Ken.
"Open your mind before you open your mouth. Always do more than what you can do right now. Aim higher!" was the gorelicious challenge from the gorelicious artist.
Zeke the 'design-preneur'
Fiona Patricia Escandor
"All those creative projects during my high school days are paying off," said Ezekiel Sullano, a management student making his niche in the digital design industry.
It started with necessity, he said.
The class projects he was required to submit, until one day he decided to actually master the craft through tutorials online.
At present, he works his way through books and financial statements by day, and dabbles as a graphic artist under the name Ezkelion Works by night.
"I work closely with my direct environment like student organizations and school-based events. On a bigger scale, I've done marketing collaterals for a realty firm and multimedia projects for a German eco-company," he said.
Whatever income he earns from his projects, Ezekiel said he uses it mostly to upgrade his tools of the trade (read: computer parts), and
also to fuel another passion of his, guitar-playing. "Food, clothes and the occasional guitar pedal," he said.
As for his advice to fellow students who want to accomplish something similar, Ezekiel said: "Find something you know you can offer with a higher level of skill. Then start small, with where you are and what you have now."

Special Coverage
SAE World Congress
DETROIT – The first vehicles employing the Automotive Open System Architecture (Autosar) will be on the road next year, and the new approach will be used first for body electronics, says a supplier executive actively involved in rolling out the new electronic standard.
In 2009, Autosar will be used to produce electronic control units for automotive powertrain applications, followed in 2010 with chassis applications and in 2011 with the first safety-related ECUs, says Helmut Fennel, vice president-strategic projects, electronic brakes and safety systems for Continental Automotive Systems.
More than 100 auto makers and suppliers (including Continental) in the 3-year-old Autosar consortium are collaborating on a standard electronic foundation that can be used to produce ECUs that are interchangeable and reusable in other parts of the vehicle.
"Electronics dominate the car, and that will only accelerate," Fennel says in a panel discussion here at the SAE International World Congress. "All of us in the auto industry must focus our engineering, our quality resources and our talents to creating a standard architecture."
Also on the panel are three other Autosar proponents, Richard Burns of Yazaki North America Inc., Frank Homann of Siemens VDO Automotive AG and Martin Thomas of Robert Bosch GmbH.
Thomas, director-electronic control units for Bosch, says the Autosar standard raises tricky legal questions pertaining to product liability in the event of a failure: Is the supplier of the component responsible, or the auto maker that produced the vehicle, or even the entire Autosar consortium?
In a Q&A session, Thomas says he believes liability questions will be settled through "bilateral discussions" between the supplier and its auto maker customer.
Fennel agrees, saying the Autosar specification cannot be held responsible in matters of product reliability. "It needs to be worked out by the supplier and the OEM," he says.
Despite issues of liability, Thomas supports Autosar "as a common framework for innovation" that all suppliers in the electronics sector can follow as they develop future product.
The framework is open-ended enough to allow for the specific components to differentiate from others in the marketplace, promoting competition.
Autosar promises to slash development costs and enable the consolidation of ECUs, as software that functions in one part of the vehicle now can take on a new task elsewhere.
Autosar should allow auto makers to cut in half the number of ECUs necessary in a vehicle (the average vehicle has about 50), while accommodating faster integration of a bevy of new vehicle electronic devices many consumers are demanding, Fennel says.
The average vehicle has about 600 electrical devices, and wiring them grows more difficult each year, says Yazaki's Burns, chief engineer of research and development. The Japanese firm is the world's largest supplier of automotive wiring harnesses.
Autosar will simplify many wiring challenges by allowing engineers developing new vehicle programs to plug in ECUs that previously have been validated.
"Why spend money to reinvent the wheel?" Burns asks.
He says Autosar will give engineers a "catalog of established functionality in automotive electronic development" and will enable computer-aided design models "that are brand-agnostic" and not tied to a particular ECU design.
"You should design something once and be able to reuse it," Burns says.
A member of the audience asked the panel whether Autosar would merge with the Japan Automotive Software Platform and Architecture (JASPAR).
The consortium was formed by Toyota Motor Corp. and Nissan Motor Co. Ltd. (and later joined by Honda Motor Co. Ltd.) to develop an integrated architecture for vehicle networking and software development, much like the German-led Autosar initiative.
Yazaki's Burns says he expects the two approaches to converge eventually. "But for now, they are still separate standards," he says.
Continental's Fennel agrees the two standards someday will "converge," noting Toyota, Nissan and Honda, while active in JASPAR, also are part of Autosar.

Winchester City Mill
This section of the page features an image gallery, so if you're using a screen reader you may wish to jump to the main content.
Working watermill in the heart of Winchester
The City Mill is a rare surviving example of an urban working corn mill, powered by the fast-flowing River Itchen, which can be seen passing under the mill, thrilling our visitors.
Rebuilt in 1743 on a medieval mill site, it remained in use until the early 20th century. The National Trust recently undertook an ambitious restoration project, and the mill resumed grinding flour in March 2004.
With hands-on activities for families and audio-visual displays about milling and the rich wildlife in the area, the City Mill is a lively and informative place for all ages to enjoy.
