Mathematical Charts and TablesConversion Tables
Conversion Tables
As has been suggested already, instructive mathematical charts introduced unfamiliar units of measure. A number of handy tables also were produced to assist in conversions. Perhaps the earliest such chart in the collections dates from about 1814, and is designed to convert from units divisible by twelfths to decimal units. The size of conversion factor and the way the numbers are written suggest that it was made to convert from Massachusetts pounds and shillings to U.S. currency. By the mid-20th century, the dollar prevailed throughout the United States, and Americans were more concerned with understanding foreign currencies when they traveled abroad. Toward that end, some purchased a slide chart called the UNICON, which allowed them to convert between dollars and numerous foreign currencies when they knew the exchange rate.
Engineers have long needed to perform conversions as part of their work. In the first half of the 20th century, manufacturers sometimes distributed small advertising cards that listed decimal equivalents of parts of an inch. Larger tables might list a large number of useful conversion factors. New efforts to introduce metric weights and measures in the United States in the 1970s led to the distribution of a range of cards and slide charts that eased conversions. These were distributed by organizations ranging from the federal government to a manufacturer of outdoor clothing and camping supplies to a producer of food emulsifiers and flavorings.

Slide Chart, Metrics Made Easy
- Description
- In the 1970s, after metric units of measure had been adopted in Canada and Great Britain, some people in the United States advocated adoption of the metric system. A variety of special tables were made to help Americans convert between systems of measurement. This slide chart is one of them.
- The paper cardboard sleeve is joined with adhesive and printed in red, yellow, pink, black and white. The front contains a table for converting inches to millimeters, another for converting pints to liters, a third for converting feet to meters and a fourth for converting gallons to liters. The reverse has tables for miles/kilometers, ounces/grams, pounds/kilograms and oF/OC.
- A mark on the front reads: Metrics (/) made easy. Another reads: INCH/METRIC DIGITAL DIAL (/) A product of (/) Danatron (/) Corporation (3198 'C', Airport Loop Drive, Costa Mesa, CA 92828. A mark on the edge of the slide reads (as best as can be deciphered): Copyright 1977 Nelson Taxel Woodmere N.Y. 11598 Printed in U.S.A.
- The object was found in the collections of the Division of Work and Industry of the National Museum of American History.

Six Arms
So where are the six-fisted drinkers?
The oddly named Six Arms is not so oddly named when you consider our beer-label logo showing a Hindu idol with her six, sinuous arms aloft. Inside the bustling pub, enormous windows and an impressive three-dimensional sculpture of our multi-armed mascot make Six Arms a destination for Seattle's funky Capitol Hill neighborhood.
Filled with a long wooden bar, booths, an upstairs section with wrought-iron café tables and mini booth, the pub also boasts McMenamins' largest collection of chandeliers. Pretty, aren't they?
Nestled on Pike Street halfway between Capitol Hill and downtown shopping, the airy pub features daily specials, a menu of classic pub fare and handcrafted ales brewed right on site.
Six Arms allows leashed pets outside on the patio areas.

Ranked among the nation's most integrated healthcare systems, Community Health Network is Central Indiana's leader in providing convenient access to exceptional healthcare services, where and when patients need them—in hospitals, health pavilions, workplaces, schools and homes.
SUNDAY, March 31 (HealthDay News) -- Children of highly educated parents have healthier diets, according to a new study.
Researchers looked at nearly 15,000 children, aged 2 to 9, in eight European countries -- Belgium, Cyprus, Estonia, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Spain and Sweden -- to examine the connection between parents' education levels and their children's nutrition.
The study revealed that children of parents with low and medium levels of education ate fewer fruits and vegetables and more processed foods and sweet drinks, which are high in fats and sugars. Parents with higher levels of education were more likely to feed their children foods with more nutritional value, including vegetables, fruit, pasta, rice and whole-grain bread.
The study was published in the March issue of the journal Public Health Nutrition.
"The greatest differences among families with different levels of education are observed in the consumption of fruit, vegetables and sweet drinks," study author Juan Miguel Fernandez Alvira, from the University of Zaragoza in Spain, said in a Plataforma SINC news release.
The findings suggest that children in families with lower social and economic status are at greater risk for becoming overweight and obese, the researchers concluded.
"The programs for the prevention of childhood obesity through the promotion of healthy eating habits should specifically tackle less-advantaged social and economic groups, in order to minimize inequalities in health," Fernandez Alvira said.
Worldwide, nearly 40 million children younger than age 5 were overweight in 2010, which highlights the need to monitor children's diets, according to the World Health Organization.

The Stetson men's basketball team (9-13, 6-5) dropped its third straight game on Saturday, falling to North Florida (9-15, 4-7) by a score of 64-59. Junior Willie Green led the Hatters with 15 points and 11 rebounds for his second double-double of the season.
Loser in their previous four contests, the Ospreys came out sluggish in the first half and Stetson was able to take advantage of it. Led by eight points from junior Chris Perez and six points out of Green, the Hatters busted out to a 14-2 lead through the first 6:14 of play.
Stetson used an 11-0 run in just over two minutes to extend its lead to 29-10 with 8:26 remaining in the first half. Juniors Hunter Miller and Aaron Graham hit back-to-back threes before senior Joel Naburgs knocked down a long step back two and a triple of his own to give the Hatters the comfortable first half advantage.
Late in the first period a three-pointer by Will Wilson and a put-back layup by Travis Wallace sandwiched one free throw by Green to cut the Stetson lead to 35-23 at the break.
Building on that run, the Ospreys opened the second half on fire, scoring the first 13 points of the frame to take their first lead of the game, at 36-35, with 15:57 to play. Beau Beech highlighted the run with a pair of three-pointers.
Senior Adam Pegg stopped the bleeding with a pair of free throws to give Stetson the lead once again, and the back-and-forth action continued throughout the rest of the frame. Neither team led by more than four points until the final minute of action.
For as well as the Hatters played offensively in the first half, they weren't able to conjure up much scoring of any kind in the second. For the first 18 minutes and six seconds of the frame, Stetson recorded just four baskets.
The fifth bucket, a layup by Pegg with 1:54 to play, cut the UNF lead to one-point at 56-55. A two in the post by Wallace and two free throws by Parker Smith immediately followed to give the Ospreys a five point lead with 40 second to play, and secured North Florida the victory.
"We're real disappointed that we didn't take advantage of a team that came out lethargic and handed us the first half," Stetson head coach Casey Alexander said. "I think we capitalized on it, but it's a 40 minute game and in the second half they were clearly the aggressor, clearly the better team, and we didn't respond."
The Ospreys' two stars, Wallace and Smith, were held to just four points and three points in the first half, respectively. The two scored 14 points each in the second, recording UNF's final 24 points of the game, beginning with two free throws by Smith with 9:43 to play.
Stetson finished 21-of-55 from the floor and just 3-of-16 from beyond the arc, marking its third straight game with no threes made in the second half. The Hatters, currently ninth in the country with 17.2 assists per game, tallied only nine against the Ospreys, a season-low for Stetson.
Green led the Hatters with 17 points and 11 rebounds, eight of which were offensive. It marked his second double-double of the season, and the third of his career. Perez added 14 points and six rebounds, while Pegg chipped in with 11 points for his 17th straight game scoring in double figures.
Wallace led the Ospreys with 18 points and seven rebounds. Smith, who went 9-for-10 from three-point range earlier in the season against the Hatters, was held to just 2-of-13 shooting and 2-of-9 from beyond the arc. The guard finished with 17 points thanks to an 11-for-11 night from the line.
The Hatters have now lost three straight, and fall to 6-5 in Atlantic Sun Conference play. Stetson will return home to host USC Upstate and ETSU on Feb. 7 and Feb. 9, respectively.

Altoona senior 138-pounder T.J. Brandt and Chestnut Ridge coach Greg Lazor reached new heights during the 2012-13 wrestling season.
And because of those new heights, Brandt and Lazor have earned the top honors on the 30th annual Mirror All-Star Team. Brandt has been named the Mirror Wrestler of the Year for the first time, and Lazor has been named the Coach of the Year for the second straight time.
Brandt became the first Mountain Lion - and the 19th wrestler in District 6 history - to win four District 6 titles, and he did so in his customary bulldozer fashion, pinning his way through the tournament, including a 7-second pin in the quarterfinals and a fall in 2:27 over Bald Eagle Area's Joe Powers in the finals.

Members of the 30th annual Mirror wrestling all-star team include (from left): Kneeling—Bedford's Garrett Thomas (126), Moshannon Valley's James Stodart (195), Bedford's Ryan Easter (120). Standing—Chestnut Ridge's Greg Lazor (coach of the year), Northern Bedford's Drew Gartland (145), Hollidaysburg's Matt Barton (285), Altoona's Markief Knode (160), Chestnut Ridge's Tyler Dibert (170), Bedford's Michael Brett (182). Sitting—Altoona's T.J. Brandt (138, wrestler of the year) Altoona's D.J. Hollingshead (132), Claysburg-Kimmel's Josh Brown (113), Huntingdon's Collin Glorioso (106). Absent for photo were Bedford's Tanner Williams (152), Moshannon Valley's Jake Ludwig (220).
He was voted the Outstanding Wrestler of the district tournament, which was his third OW of the season, and became the first Altoona wrestler to win the award.
Brandt went on to win his second Northwest Regional Tournament title, hammering McDowell's Shawn Spearman, 11-0, in the finals and becoming the first Mountain Lion to win back-to-back regional titles since Jason Kutz in 1991 and 1992.
The one thing he needed on his glorious high school wrestling resume was a state tournament medal, and he did that by reaching the semifinals of the rugged three-day event and eventually earning a sixth-place medal - the best finish for an Altoona wrestler since Joe Ciampoli took sixth in 2004.

Named to the first team for the third time, Brandt went 31-6 with 18 pins and four technical falls this season and broke former teammate K.J. Walters' school career win record with 125, finishing with a career mark of 125-21.
The Mirror Coach of the Year award is just the latest in honors for Lazor this season. He was voted District 5 Coach of the Year for the second straight season, and the big one came last Saturday in Hershey, when he was named PIAA Class AA Coach of the Year.
Lazor guided the Lions to another sterling regular season, going 25-3, winning the District 5 Duals for the first time with a 34-30 win over Bedford, which had won five straight district titles, and finishing fourth at the PIAA Duals. It was the best finish by an area or District 5 team since Bedford took fourth in 2009.
Ridge won the rugged Thomas Subaru Tournament for the first time since 2005, despite not having a champion. Lazor led the Lions to their second straight District 5 individual tournament crown and a fifth-place finish at the Southwest Regional Tournament.
Lazor is joined on the team by Ridge 170-pound four-time District 5 champion Tyler Dibert. Brandt has two teammates on the team in D.J. Hollingshead at 132 and Markief Knode at 160.
Four Bedford wrestlers were named to the first team, including Class AA state runner-up Ryan Easter, and two Moshannon Valley wrestlers made the list.
The first, second and honorable mention teams follow the order of the Mirror rankings, with some exceptions at deep weights. Here's the rest of the first team and its accomplishments:
106 pounds: Collin Glorioso, Huntingdon: Glorioso finished with a 39-5 record, led the area in technical falls with seven and had 15 pins.Glorioso took second at the District 6 Class AA Tournament, won the very deep Southwest Regional 106-pound class and avenged his district finals loss to Forest Hills' Triston Law, 3-0, in the finals.
He finished third at states, which was the best finish for a Huntingdon wrestler since Dave Distler was second in 1993.
113 pounds: Josh Brown, Claysburg-Kimmel: Named to the first team for the second time, the senior had never placed at the state tournament in two previous appearances, but he finished fifth this season, and he was a possible semifinal overtime slam call against South Fayette's Seth Carr away from making the finals.
Brown won his first district title in three career finals appearances, beating Ligonier Valley's Justin Patrick, 6-5, which avenged three previous losses to Patrick. He finished fourth at the Southwest Regional. Brown finished with a 30-9 record and six major decisions. Brown was 96-28 in three years.
120 pounds: Ryan Easter, Bedford: Easter returns to the first team for the third time. His silver medal from Hershey was his third in his state tournament history, matching what his dad, Joel, did for the Bisons from 1986 to 1988. Easter, who was beaten by Bethlehem Catholic two-time state champion Darian Cruz, 16-4, in the finals, was the first Bedford finalist since Eric Gibbons in 2001.
He captured his first Thomas Subaru gold medal and his third District 5 title. Easter was a Southwest Regional runner-up for the third time, losing a 4-3 overtime tiebreaker to Ligonier Valley's Josh Patrick. Easter finished his junior season with a 36-3 record and six technical falls, and he owns a career record of 109-16.
126 pounds: Garrett Thomas, Bedford: Thomas makes the first team after a strong junior season. He won his first District 5 title, rallying to win another epic battle with Ridge's Trent Crouse, 6-4, and finished sixth at the Southwest Regional, coming up a place short of qualifying for states. Thomas, a Thomas Subaru champion, was 32-5 with 20 pins this season, and he has a 92-22 career record.
132 pounds: D.J. Hollingshead, Altoona: A first-teamer at 120 as a freshman, Hollingshead returns to the first team after he won his first District 6 Class AAA title in his second finals appearance, pinning Mifflin County's Lucas Besch in the finals.
Hollingshead finished third at the Northwest Regional to qualify for the state tournament, and he finished with a 34-6 record and 20 pins.
145 pounds: Drew Gartland, Northern Bedford: Gartland was the last area wrestler with an undefeated record, going 28-0 until getting pinned by Conemaugh Township's Tanner Cahill in overtime in the District 5 finals. Cahill was later voted the tournament's OW. Gartland finished his senior season with a 29-3 record and 14 pins, and he was 102-27 as a four-year starter.
152 pounds: Tanner Williams, Bedford: He didn't get a chance to wrestle in last year's postseason because of a broken hand, but he made the most of his opportunity this season, winning a District 5 title, finishing third at the Southwest Regional and just missing making the medal round at states with a 1-2 mark.
Williams was 35-7 with 16 pins as a senior, and he was 71-28 in three years.
160 pounds: Markief Knode, Altoona: Recognized on any Mirror wrestling team for the first time in his career, Knode makes the first team after finishing second at the District 6 Class AAA Tournament to qualify for regionals. He went 25-11 wrestling at 160 and 170.
170 pounds: Tyler Dibert, Chestnut Ridge: With his 8-2 win over Bedford's Caleb Grimes, Dibert became Ridge's first four-time District 5 champion since Lester McLucas won four from 1958 to 1961. After placing third at the Southwest Regional, he took seventh in Hershey, placing there for the first time in three state tournament visits.
Dibert, a three-time Mirror first-teamer, finished with a 41-7 record and 25 pins, leading the area in both wins and pins. He broke Dan Albright's season pin total, and he set the program's career win mark with a 138-31 record.
182 pounds: Michael Brett, Bedford: The dangerous Brett makes the first team after going 25-12 with 22 pins. Brett, a two-time District 5 runner-up, qualified for regionals for third time, but his season ended there when he was slammed in the consy quarters, and he ended up taking sixth. He was 83-32 with 58 pins in three years.
195 pounds: James Stodart, Moshannon Valley: Stodart returns to the first team after a record-breaking season, setting the school career win mark with a 121-30 mark and becoming the first Mo Valley wrestler to win back-to-back district titles since 1985. His fourth-place finish at states was the best for a Black Knight since Bill Caldwell took fourth in 1991.
Stodart went 36-5 with 17 pins this season, and he finished third at regionals. His first states medal was earned the hard way, losing his first bout and coming back through the consys.
220 pounds: Jake Ludwig, Moshannon Valley: Ludwig joined Stodart as a district champion, which was the first time the program had multiple champs since 1989. The Knight senior was a two-time district finalist. He finished fifth at regionals and seventh at states in his first appearance at Hershey. A second-teamer last season, Ludwig went 34-7 with 19 pins and was 89-48 in his career.
285 pounds: Matt Barton, Hollidaysburg: The Golden Tiger senior won his first district title by beating Bellefonte's Garrett Poorman for the first time, 4-0, and then he jumped into the arms of coach Mike Moore. Barton finished second at the Northwest Regional to qualify for his first state tournament. He went 28-6 with 17 pins this season and 75-27 in three years.

A special report has found frustrations and recriminations spilling over from both sectors.
Non-profits claim that corporations are just using volunteering as a cheap team-building exercise. From their side, the corporations say it's not about team building and that the charities are just chasing handouts.
The report from Sydney's University of Technology researcher Hayley Hext identified massive gaps and proposes strategies that could help the two camps understand each other better and work more effectively together.
Based on interviews with 10 non-profit organizations and 10 corporations, all of them unidentified, the study found that charities felt the corporations were just using volunteering as a cheap way to build teams, with the non-profits often picking up such costs as paint, gardening, equipment, barbecue lunches, travel costs, even hiring someone on $30,000 to $40,000 a year to manage the corporate volunteers. According to the study, many non-profits felt the corporations should be making some sort of financial contribution.
But most corporations had budgets to pay for the costs, or could bankroll the programme other ways with, for example, the team's business unit paying for it out of a discretionary fund, or fund-raising to cover costs.
But while most corporations were happy to cover costs, they did not warm to the idea of the non-profit making money out of the exercise by charging a fee for service as a way of raising funds.
"Corporates thought that non-profits should move away from the mentality of chasing cash donations as corporations cannot fill the funding gap left by government not providing sufficient funds for ongoing core programs," the report said.
Another big problem was finding suitable volunteering opportunities, particularly when it came to having contact with the non-profit's clients — for example, disadvantaged young people, in what could turn out to be awkward and uncomfortable situations.
As one non-profit worker said: "They say they want to do a volunteer day where they play games with the kids, etc, and they get there and none of them speak to the kids …
"The corporate needs to pick people who really want to work with disadvantaged young people and are going to be understanding of the issues that they face."
The corporations said their employees preferred activities where they could see their work making a difference.
They did not want the non-profits manufacturing volunteering activities, such as painting a wall, that were not needed.
Gina Anderson, chief executive officer of Philanthropy Australia, said both sides lacked an understanding of the other.
She said one solution was for the corporation and non-profit organization to write a memorandum of understanding, or have written agreement, when going into partnership.
Another idea was for the corporations to invite the non-profit partner into the workplace to give them some idea of — for example — what a dealing room or call centre looked like and how it operated, and to learn about reporting lines.

THE MARVEL UNIVERSE - The newest installment of the X-Men franchise, "X-Men: Days of Future Past," is just a couple of weeks away, but some casting news for future films has already released. "X-Men" producer Laura Shuler Donner confirmed during a red carpet interview with Total Film that Channing Tatum will play Gambit in the X-Men universe. "He's a rogue," Shuler Donner said. " Channing, he's a rascal, just like Remy LeBeau (Gambit). And he can handle the action. We all know that. And he's got a really good heart." Tatum has said in the past that he'd love to play Gambit, but that was just hopeful thinking until now. Taylor Kitsch played Gambit in the 2009 film "X-Men Origins: Wolverine," which is part of the same universe as the recent X-Men films like "X-Men: First Class" and "X-Men: Days of Future Past." Kitsch is apparently out and Tatum is in. No Gambit films are in the works, but it's likely that Tatum will star as the card-throwing Cajun in the next installment of the franchise, "X-Men: Apocalypse" in 2016.%3Cimg%20src%3D%22http%3A//beacon.deseretconnect.com/beacon.gif%3Fcid%3D170560%26pid%3D46%22%20/%3E

Mike D'Antoni is the new head coach of the Los Angeles Lakers, a move hardly any saw coming, shaking up Purple and Gold's dynamic significantly.
According to Mike Bresnahan of the Los Angeles Times, Phil Jackson was "asking for the moon" and the Lakers weren't prepared to give it to him, opting for D'Antoni instead.
What does this mean for Los Angeles' offense?
Everything, and then some.
While D'Antoni's defensive schemes remain widely discredited or non-existent, his offensive blueprint—known as the "seven seconds or less system"—is borderline worshipped. Steve Nash won two NBA MVP awards within it and Kobe Bryant traipsed his way to a gold medal at the Olympics with it this past summer.
But that was then, with the Phoenix Suns and Team USA. This is now, with a Lakers team still searching for a dominant identity.
A dominant identity that cannot be established until each player's role within D'Antoni's offense is sufficiently understood.

The 2010 Penn State recruiting class was highlighted by two highly touted quarterbacks signing on to play their college football with the Nittany Lions.
But come Saturday afternoon in Charlottesville, Va., the game may come down to a player the Lions did not sign or even offer a scholarship to that year, one who has many family ties to PSU.
Michael Rocco will lead Virginia into its game against Penn State as the starting quarterback of the Cavaliers. And for many longtime PSU fans, the last name Rocco may be a familiar one.
Michael's father, Frank Rocco Jr., was a quarterback on Penn State's 1982 national championship team. In addition, his grandfather, Frank Sr., served as an administrative assistant at Penn State for 19 years (1982-2000) and also coached the tight ends during the 1985 season.
Rocco grew up a Penn State fan, living in Pittsburgh until he was 9 years old. He visited his grandparents in State College often and attended PSU games in his younger years before moving with his family to Virginia.
By moving out of Pennsylvania and becoming more involved with sports as he grew up, Rocco said his trips back to central Pennsylvania became less and less. The last time he said he saw a game in Beaver Stadium was in 2009.
Rocco said he's treating Saturday's contest against the Lions as "just another game." But he also added it does have a little extra meaning being able to play against the team he grew up going to watch play and where his father has so many fond memories of winning a national championship.
"Watching Penn State and seeing the blue and white traditional uniforms, even though they have their names on the backs now, is a cool experience," Rocco said on a teleconference Monday. "But being at the college level now and playing against great teams every week, I am treating it as another game."
Coming out of high school, where Rocco played for his father at Liberty Christian Academy and was a four-year starter, he originally committed to Louisville. But a coaching changed prompted Rocco to open back up his recruitment.
Two of the schools in Rocco's final top five were Penn State and Virginia.
Penn State had already signed the third- and eighth-ranked quarterbacks in that year's class in Paul Jones and Rob Bolden, respectively, according to Scout.com. Joe Paterno offered Rocco a chance to grayshirt, which means to delay enrolling in college by a semester to keep an athlete's eligibly from beginning.
Rocco eventually decided to accept a scholarship offer from Virginia. He said Virginia coach Mike London is a man of great faith and character and that first drew him to becoming a Cavalier.
"Once I talked to Coach London and made my decision to come here, I was fully committed," Rocco said. "I became a Cavalier and haven't looked back since then."
The junior said he harbors no ill will against Penn State and his father's alma mater for not offering him a scholarship outright during the recruiting process.
When London came to Virginia three years ago, he also brought along Bill Lazor to be his offensive coordinator. Prior to coming to Virginia, Lazor had spent seven seasons in the NFL as the quarterbacks coach for the Seahawks and Redskins and as an offensive quality control coach for the Falcons.
"When Coach Lazor got the job, that was kind of icing on top of the cake for me," Rocco said. "So I really had no doubt in my mind where I needed to be and where God had me placed."
This will be the second week in a row Rocco has ties to the opposing team.
Last weekend, Virginia opened the season against Richmond. The game marked the debut of the Spiders' new head coach, Danny Rocco, who is Michael's uncle.
Michael got the better of his uncle in his Richmond debut by throwing for 311 yards and leading the Cavaliers to a season-opening 43-19 victory.
He credited both his dad and uncle for helping him with his development as a man and as a football player. Rocco said having two people in his family still involved in football has helped him immensely.
"My dad went through basically everything that I am going through," Rocco said. "His knowledge is something I lean on and look to a lot just to get through certain situations of a Division I college football program."

연인을 위한 전통 호텔
Voted Historic Hotel of Switzerland in 2008. Opened in 1900 as a luxury sanatorium, the architecture has been preserved in its original form. The Schatzalp unlocks magnificent nature and cultural experiences, with the kitchen and the cellar offering up sensual treats. For ten years, Kaiser Wilhelm II leased three rooms that have been preserved in the Art Nouveau / Belle Époque style, and Thomas Mann mentioned the hotel in his novel "Zauberberg".
Located 300m above Davos, the Schatzalp is a place for anybody who needs peace and quiet, who values nature or who wants to experience history. This historic hotel and its Alpine surroundings shape each other. The original funicular railway, built at the same time as the hotel, is still used to bring guests to the hotel. The Schatzalp Hotel was conceived as a luxury sanatorium and built by the architect's firm Pfleghard & Haefeli. It opened in 1900 as a prime location for an international circle of tuberculosis patients who could afford the rather exclusive care. The core principle of therapy in those days was optimal exposure to sunlight, which is why the hotel faces south. Its more than 100 meter long façade resembles a line of terraces, sheltered from the wind: Here, on the legendary yellow Davos deck chairs, the patients rested wrapped in blankets for days on end, basking in the sun and the fresh mountain air. Progress in medicine led to the sanatorium being closed in the 1950's. But as early as 1954 the Schatzalp was reopened as a hotel with 92 rooms, after careful restoration. Much of the original building has remained, including the original 1900 lift facility. The interior captivates the eye with its spacious Art Nouveau common rooms and the many original fittings in the partially restored historic bathrooms. Other quality additions – such as some of the period furniture – date back to the hotel's 1954 transformation.
연인을 위한 스위스 호텔Situated on a unique sun terrace, 300 metres above Davos and in a car-free environment, the Schatzalp is the ideal place for tranquility and relaxation with breathtaking views across the Davos mountainscape.
The "historic hotel of 2008" is the ideal starting point for wonderful walks and ski tours, for visiting the Alpinum Schatzalp (botanical garden with over 3500 different plant species from every mountain range in the world), two toboggan runs, winter walks and a summer toboggan run.

Serves 4 |
Prep Time 20 minutes |
Cook Time 30 minutes
4 cups sour cherries, pittedor two 14.5 oz canned, unsweetened, sour cherries, do not drain
1 cup Eden Cherry Juice, (if using canned cherries, reduce to 1/2 cup juice)
3 Tbsp organic maple syrup
1/4 cup Eden Kuzu Root Starch, dissolved in 1/3 cup cold water
Pastry Dough
1/2 cups Eden Whole Wheat Pastry Flour
1/2 tsp non-aluminum baking powder
1/4 tsp Eden Sea Salt
1/4 cup Eden Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1/2 cups Edensoy Unsweetened
Place the cherries, juice and pinch of sea salt in a medium saucepan, cover, bring to a boil. Reduce the flame to low and simmer about 5 to 7 minutes until the cherries are tender. Pour the dissolved kuzu into the cherries, stirring constantly to prevent lumping until the juice thickens. Set aside and let cool while making the dough.
Preheat the oven to 375°. To make the dough, combine the dry ingredients in a medium mixing bowl. Whisk the wet ingredients together in a small bowl. Combine the wet and dry ingredients, mixing to form a ball of dough. Divide the dough into four equal size balls. Flour a pastry clothe, board or counter and roll out each ball of dough into 5 to 6-inch rounds. Filling one at a time, place 1/2 cup filling in the center of each rolled portion of dough. Quickly fold the dough over the filling and crimp the edges with a fork to seal the dough. Using a fork make indentations in the top of each turnover, to allow heat to escape while cooking. Place the tarts on a large cookie sheet and bake 25 to 30 minutes or until the tarts are golden brown on the bottom. Remove and allow to cool.
Yield: 4 6-inch tarts

National Rankings and Honors
In the college search process, bigger is not always better, and cheaper is not always the best value. The award-winning and nationally-recognized programs listed below are just a few of the reasons our most successful graduates consistently cite UNI as a major factor in preparing them for their achievements in life and in the workplace
Excellence in Education
UNI is one of the best colleges and universities in the Midwest according to The Princeton Review. The education services company selected the school as one of the institutions it profiles in its "Best in the Midwest" section of its website feature 2012 Best Colleges: Region by Region.
The UNI College of Business Administration has an outstanding reputation and thanks to its small, selective MBA program. UNIBusiness has been recognized consistently as being one of the "Best Business Schools" by Princeton Review.
The UNI MBA has been listed among U.S. News & World Report's top part-time MBA programs. U.S. News & World Report's rankings are among the most widely sought-after university recognition sources in the world. The ranking is limited to AACSB International-accredited part-time programs. Criteria include assessment by business school deans, admission selectivity and students' prior work experience.
The University of Northern Iowa is ranked second in the "Best Regional Universities (Midwest)" category for public universities, according to U.S. News & World Report's 2015 "America's Best Colleges" guidebook. UNI also was 18th on a combined list of all public and private Midwest regional universities.
The University of Northern Iowa is ranked among the nation's top 650 undergraduate colleges and universities in the Forbes' 2013 annual ranking of top colleges.
UNI is ranked 37th on the 2014 Educate to Career Top 100 College Best Values rankings, which calculate the improvement in earnings and employability of persons who attended specific colleges, relative to persons who are similarly situated in other colleges.
The Washington Monthly College Guide ranks UNI 65th in the nation out of 684 masters colleges and universities, and 38th on their list of masters universities that are the Best Bang for the Buck, and in the top 100 for all universities.
In a national report released in 2004 by the Education Trust, a Washington, D.C.-based organization that works for high academic achievement of all students at all levels, kindergarten through college, UNI has been cited for its "high performance" in graduation rates.
UNI is accredited by the Higher Learning Commission North Central Association.
The University of Northern Iowa was ranked as of the top 100 Best Values in Public Colleges by Kiplinger's Personal Finance for 2014, and as one of Kiplinger's 25 Best College Values Under $30,000/Year. The report features schools that deliver a quality education at an affordable price. University of Northern Iowa ranked #71 in the top 100 colleges thanks to its high four-year graduation rate, low average student debt at graduation, abundant financial aid, a low sticker price, and overall great value.
Social and Environmental Responsibility
UNI received The President's Higher Education Community Service Honor Roll again in 2013. Launched in 2006, the Honor Roll annually recognizes institutions of higher education for their commitment to and achievement in community service. UNI has consistently made the honor roll.
UNI earned a "Gold" rating from the (STARS) in 2011. The highest rating for any school in Iowa, UNI received this designation for its commitment in making operational decisions that are socially responsible, make economic sense and are environmentally friendly.
The Princeton Review has recognized UNI as one of the country's most environmentally-responsible colleges in the "The Princeton Review's Guide to 322 Green Colleges-2012"
The Carnegie Foundation granted the University of Northern Iowa a special designation in Community Engagement: Curricular Engagement and Outreach and Partnerships. This new designation reflects the foundation's recognition of UNI's strong commitment to community service on a local, regional, national and global level. UNI serves and shares its expertise with the larger community in a variety of ways, as well as involving students in this important process. Research shows that the more students participate in meaningful experiences inside and outside of the classroom, the more they gain from their education.
UNI has been listed among U.S. News & World Report's top College for Veterans.
UNI has been selected as a Military-Friendly University in Military Advanced Education's (MAE) 2013 Guide to Military Friendly Colleges & Universities .
The University of Northern Iowa was again selected by G.I. Jobs Magazine as a Military Friendly School for 2014, an honor placing the university in the top 20% of colleges, universities and trade schools in the country that are doing the most to embrace military service members, veterans and spouses as students and ensure their success on campus.
The University of Northern Iowa has been selected by the Military Times for their Best for Vets: Colleges 2015 rankings, recognizing UNI's commitment to providing opportunities to America's veterans.

He's rehabbing his sprained right shoulder to rejoin a depleted and dispirited club that trailed by 50 points after three quarters Tuesday night in The Palace?
If the Pistons are routing the Cavaliers, 116-77, what are Spurs and Grizzlies going to do to them on Sunday and Monday? Irving should be pulling a Rodney Dangefield in Caddyshack as his tee shot ricochets off the ball cleaner.
"Oh, Byron, my arm, my arm,"
The Cavaliers didn't mentally check out of Tuesday's night's game. That would imply they had checked in. They got jumped by the Pistons in the opening minutes and never fought back. They trailed 100-50 after three quarters. Alonzo Gee is a decent player, but his absence should not have resulted in this kind of performance. The Cavs were playing their sixth game in eight days, but an opponent should not be shooting 67.9 percent after three quarters. Especially one that entered the game ranked 28th in scoring.
"No excuses," Scott said.
The NBA competition committee should remove ping-pong balls for efforts this malodorous. The Pistons dunked at will. Nobody in a white jersey got knocked down or was made to pay a price.
Antawn Jamison's minus rating was inflating so rapidly it had stretch marks. He finished minus-47 on a night no Cavs starter was better than minus-38. Give him credit for one thing: Jamison called himself out for a lack of leadership.
"I have to bring it every night until the season is over and tonight I didn't bring it and it seemed to trickle down to rest of my teammates," said Jamison, who went 0-of-10 from the field.
Jamison has done an admirable job of trying to keep the offense going in Irving's 10-game absence. But it's become increasingly difficult. Lester Hudson, who gave the club an unexpected spark, has cooled considerably. He was 2-of-10 against the Pistons and finished with seven points.
The dwindling talent in their lineup is taking its toll and the team reached a new bottom late in the third quarter Tuesday night.
The Cavs, who haven't held a lead in the past eight quarters, shot 34.6 percent from the field. Manny Harris paced them with 18 points, all but five of them coming in the fourth quarter.
The season still has six games remaining and every opponent save for Washington is either in the playoffs or likely to get there. The Cavs, who have been competitive for much of the season, had better ramp it up for one more week or risk further embarrassment.
The desperate 76ers come calling to The Q on Wednesday. Irving might want to give that shoulder about nine more days of rest.

As I mentioned my previous post, Providence is headed by Chef and Owner Michael Cimarusti who specializes in preparing elegant, yet delicious seafood dishes. While I wasn't "wowed" by my visit last year for their full tasting, I was excited to try Providence again with Diana of DianaTakesaBite.
