INVENT OR WILLIAM R. BOWERMAN ATTORNEYS DATA PROCESSING CARD BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention This invention relates generally to data processing cards and more particularly is directed towards a manually adjustable data card employing rotary windows such as polarizing filters as the coding medium.
2. Description of the Prior Art Most data processing cards currently in use are punched in some coded fashion or have magnetic material on which information is prerecorded. These cards customarily are read by data processing equipment in which the coded data on the card is scanned.
Conventional data processing cards are designed for use primarily with specialized automatic computer equipment by which data is encoded on the cards and subsequently read out at high speed. These cards generally are not re-useable and are discarded once they have served their purpose.
It is an object of the present invention to provide improvements in data processing cards and more particularly to provide data processing cards that may be used without specialized equipment and which may store different information in re-use. A further object of this invention is to provide data processing cards that may be used for a variety of purposes including a part of a game.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION This invention features data processing cards formed with at least one aperture therethrough and a window, preferably of polarizing material rotatably mountedto the card across the aperture and bearing angular position encoding indicia in the form of a tab or the like. The card is provided with angularly spaced markings about the aperture against which the window tab is aligned to store an encoded bit of information. By illu-v minating one side of a stack of individually encoded cards, matching and mismatching bits of information in aligned windows may be observed from the opposite side of the stack, depending upon the orientation of the polarizing axes of the aligned windows being parallel or mutually perpendicular. Light will pass through in one instance but not in the other.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Referring now to the drawings, the reference character generally indicates a data processing card made according to the invention, the card typically being rectangular in outline and formed with one or more apertures 12 each having a window 14 rotatably mounted to the card 10. Each window 14 is provided with means for facilitating manual rotation of the window within an aperture and, in the embodiment of FIGS. 1 and 2, a boss in the form of a knob l6.is provided near the periphery of the window and extending outwardly from the face of the card whereby the knob may be grasped and the window moved as desired. Indexing marks 18 or preprinted material appears on the face of the card in spaced angular position adjacent each aperture.
In the preferred form of the invention, each window 14 is fabricated from a light polarizing material, the polarizing axes of the various windows being in the same relative position with respect to the knobs so that when all knobs are in the same angular position, the
polarizing axes will be parallel. The card may also be formed with a notched comer 20 so that stacked cards may be easily aligned.
Information is set into the card by rotating a window to a selected angular position, the knob 16 being opposite a selected indexing mark 18 representing a particular bit of information. For example, if the card were being used as an educational device or as a game, multiple choice questions may be answered by aligning the knob with a selected index mark on the card corresponding to one of several possible answers. As a game, the cards may be used to determine degrees of compatibility between two individuals, their preferences, personal traits, backgrounds, etc., being encoded on separate cards with the position of the knob corresponding to a particular personal factor. In either event, once the information has been set into the cards by positioning all of the windows, one card is superimposed over another and the stacked cards are then illuminated from the rear as suggested in FIG. 2. By observing the front face of the stacked cards matching and mismatching answers may be readily observed insofar as the windows of matching answers will pass light since their polarizing axes will be parallel whereas the windows of conflicting answers will block light insofar as their polarizing axes will be perpendicular.
It will be understood that when the cards are superimposed one upon the other the windows of one card will register with the corresponding windows of the other card. The information on both cards will, of course, be distributed in the same relative position so that comparisons may be made by simply overlaying one card on the other. By way of example, in FIGS. 1
and 2, 12 windows are provided and these may be numbered to correspond with twelve questions for example in a multiple choice exam. All cards will be similarly numbered and a teacher may employ a master card with all of the correct answers preset to readily determine correct or incorrect answers which each student will have set into his own card. The students card is matched against the teachers master card in the fashion shown in FIG. 2 for scoring purposes. When used as a compatibility card, information with respect to an individuals personality traits may be set into one card and matched against information with respect to personal traits set into another card so that a couple, for example, may quickly determine the degree of mutual compatibility.
The cards may be used as part of a formal or informal information game in which two or more people may determine how similar they are in their opinions, beliefs, attitudes, etc. A compatibility card may contain a number of rotatable windows each identified with a particular statement or question. The participant may indicate his or her response or answer to an item by rotating a window to the position where its marker is opposite an index mark on the card corresponding to the answer he intends to give. When the participants have answered all items on their respective cards, each persons card will have the polarized filters in positions which indicate or represent how he or she feels about the subjects on the card. Since the same items are repeated in the same location on both cards, the participants can determine the extent of their compatibility by simply superimposing the cards in front of the light so as to observe how many apertures pass light and how many are dark. If the responses to a particular answer are the same, the aperture will be transparent whereas the aperture will be dark if the answers conflict since the polarizing axes of the superimposed filters will be parallel in the first case and perpendicular in the second case. If the responses are different but nearly the same, close-to-matching information is indicated by intermediate darkness of the aperture.
In addition to use in matching compatible characteristics of persons, the cards may be used to determine complementary characteristics. In FIG. 3, for example, each card is formed with two horizontal rows of rotatable windows, the upper row serving to encode the characteristics of the first person and the lower row serving to encode characteristics which the first participant desires in another. Two participants may prepare separate cards and by inverting one with respect to the other, the complementary characteristics of the two participants may be observed. Each participant can see if the other has the characteristics which he wants him to have.
Referring now to FIG. 4, there is illustrated a modification of the invention and in this embodiment a data processing card is comprised of front and rear panels 22 and 24 adapted to be superimposed over one another and between which is rotatably mounted a window 25, preferably of a light polarizing filter material. The rear wall 22 is formed with one or more circular apertures 28, the number of apertures depending upon the information capacity desired for a card. In FIG. 4, only one aperture is shown for the sake of simplicity. Attached to the inner face of the rear wall 22 adjacent the aperture 28 is a window mount 30, typically molded of plastic or the like, and formed with a leg portion 32 which may be cemented or otherwise secured to the wall 22 generally tangential to the aperture 28. The mount is also formed with a C-shaped portion 34 adapted to receive the circular filter 26. The filter 26 preferably is formed with a tab 35 extending radially outward therefrom between the terminal ends of the C- shaped portion 34. The ends of the C-shaped legs act as stops for the tab 35 permitting approximately a 90 rotary movement of the filter within the mount. The tab 35 preferably is formed with a small central indent by which a pencil or other similar device may be used to rotate the filter to a particular position. The tab also serves as a convenient reference mark by which the filter may be aligned with response position markings imprinted on a separate cover sheet 38 superimposed over the outer face of the wall 24.
The wall 24 is formed with an aperture 40 having a circular portion in registration with the aperture 28 of the rear wall and also is formed with an arcuate offset portion positioned to expose the tab 34 for access by a pencil or other device. The two walls 22 and 24 may be secured by any suitable means such as cementing, pressure sensitive adhesive tape or they may be detachably connected by rubber bands looped about the walls and retained in position by notches 42 formed in the edges of the walls.
The facing sheet 38 may be made of paper and bear imprinted or written thereon any one of a variety of different questions, statements or the like opposite each aperture. Various symbols may also be printed adjacent an opening 44 similar in size and shape to the aperture 40 in the wall 24 and adapted to register with that opening when superimposed over the card. The sheet 38 similarly may be held detachably by rubber bands or the like and may be replaced with other sheets printed with different questions or statements so that the same card may be used any number of times.
Instead of making the windows so that they may be reset, they may be made to remain permanently set once in position. Also, in place of polarizing materials, the windows may be of transparent material and bear an arrow or the like which can serve as a visual indicator for matching cards.
Having thus described the invention what I claim and desire to obtain by Letters Patent of the United States 1s:
1. A data processing card, comprising a. a wall formed with at least one aperture therethrough,
b. a window rotatably mounted to said wall across each aperture,

How much life insurance should you have? Probably more than you think. Here are some things to consider:
You really want to leave your family with enough money so they can replace what you earned solely with the interest of the life insurance proceeds. After all, if they have to spend the principal from your life insurance to live, they'll eventually run out of money.
Let's say you earn a hundred thousand dollars a year. It would take a nest egg of 2-million dollars earning 5 percent interest to replace that hundred thousand dollars every year. Of course, you may have other assets that can help make up the 2-million. But figure if you can earn 5 percent… you'll still need life insurance of twenty times your annual income, minus other liquid assets such as cash, stocks or bonds.

Chen Tai (died 260),[1] courtesy name Xuanbo, was a military general and politician of the state of Cao Wei during the Three Kingdoms period. He was the son of Chen Qun. Chen Tai was very knowledgeable in the art of war, and so led his men as if they were his own children. When Sima Shi began abusing his power, and the emperor Cao Mao died under very suspicious circumstances, Chen Tai expressed his deep loyalty to Wei by honouring their deaths through wearing a mourning dress to the court.

Just in from Kaspar Staub, the Institute Manager at the Institute of Evolutionary Medicine in Zurich, is this announcement for a placement for a motivated PhD student to study ancient microbiomes. The project is actually titled ""Evolution of the human microbiome: Molecular insights from ancient Egyptian samples".
Page 2 of 58
There is a sobering paper in the journal of the American Society for Microbiology, mBio, this week, written by Marc Sze and Patrick Schloss from the Department of Microbiology and Immunology at the University of Michigan. As they report, obesity is a growing health concern throughout the western world. 20% of the youth age group in the US from 2 to 19 years is either overweight or obese, they say, and that value exceeds one third in adults aged 20 or over. Since obesity is reliably linked to a host of life-limiting diseases like diabetes, liver disease and heart disease, and since obese individuals and their health problems are increasingly clogging up our healthcare provision systems, we need clear direction on where to place research emphasis to stem this current epidemic. A view that has been gaining in popularity recently is that the richness (in number and species number) of our gut microbes is directly associated with obesity; that obese individuals have an impoverished, dysbiotic, gut microbiota; that they can pass these settings onto their children; and that you can predict obesity from gut microbial species composition. However, Sze and Schloss trained powerful statistical analysis on the pooled data from a number of studies relating the gut microbiota and obesity and concluded that only one of them had sufficient power to detect even a 5% difference in diversity and that "although there was support for a relationship between the microbial communities found in human feces and obesity status, this association was relatively weak and its detection confounded by large interpersonal variation and insufficient sample size".
Storify has just published a whole list of tweets from delegates to ISEMPH16. A useful and fun retrospective!
The idea that gut microbes can communicate with the brain to change behavior and, correspondingly, that signals from the brain can influence microbial gut populations has been around for a while and most of us in evmed land are pretty convinced by these links. Joe Alcock has written extensively in this area. Another two papers have been published recently that explore this microbiome-brain interaction. The first is published in eLIFE by Gacias et al and titled "Microbiota-driven transcriptional changes in prefrontal cortex override genetic differences in social behavior." There is a commentary on this paper from Thomas Kuntz and Jack Gilbert, both from the University of Chicago, titled "Does the brain listen to the gut?"
The second paper, by Buffington et al, is published in Cell, and titled "Microbial Reconstitution Reverses Maternal Diet-Induced Social and Synaptic Deficits in Offspring." It also benefits from an easy-to-read commentary in Nature Reviews Neuroscience, called "Making Friends With Microbes", by Natasha Bray. As Bray explains, Buffington and colleagues showed that maternal obesity, in a mouse model, leads to social and synaptic deficits in the offspring that are caused by a reduction in certain gut-bacterial species. These deficits can be rescued by adding Lactobacillus reuteri to the offsprings' drinking water. Specifically, baby mice from obese mothers had a ninefold decrease in L. reuteri in their guts and demonstrated measurable social withdrawal. Previous work has shown that the presence of L. reuteri in the gut increases plasma levels of oxytocin, the hormone that is important for social interactions, says Bray. Here, she says, the authors found that oxytocin was expressed in fewer cells in the hypothalamic paraventricular nuclei (PVN) of obese-mothered offspring than of controls and, strikingly, that the addition of L. reuteri to their drinking water increased oxytocin expression in the brain and reversed the social behaviour deficits in the offspring.
Why is there a large difference in susceptibility to cancer among the different body organs? Why, for instance, is it rare to find cancer in the small bowel and heart, but common in the colon and breast? And why, although it often produces benign fibroid tumors, is cancer in the uterus a fairly rare event? A number of extrinsic and intrinsic factors have been proposed to explain these anomalies, such as the fact that some organs have higher rates of cellular division than others and so by the laws of chance should accumulate more mutations. Or some organs, like the lungs and the liver, are more susceptible to environmental burdens like tobacco smoke and alcohol. But in a recent paper in Trends in Cancer, "Evolutionary Ecology of Organs: A Missing Link in Cancer Development?" Frederic Thomas, Randy Nesse, Bob Gatenby, together with several other authors including Beata Ujvari, ask us to consider organs as distinct but connected ecosystems whose different vulnerabilities to malignant transformation may be partially explained by how essential each organ is for survival through the age of reproduction.
For instance, they argue, selection for mechanisms to suppress cancer will be greatest in organs that are relatively small and can, therefore, be compromised by even small tumors or are critical for survival and reproduction, such as the heart, brain, and uterus (i.e., keystone organs). While organs that are large or paired, and thus can maintain function even when a relatively large tumor is present, will be less subject to anticancer selection forces. Variation in cancer risk across human organs, they say, may be analogous to 'Peto's paradox': an observed lack of correlation between cancer risk and body mass (and life span) across the animal kingdom. In the same way that long-lived massive animals, like elephants, do not suffer inordinately from cancer thanks to multiple copies of the p53 "guardian of the genome" gene, tissues with high levels of turnover, like the small intestine, which rejuvenates its lining every 5 days, may have evolved especially powerful anticancer mechanisms.
Can a systems ecology approach that applies systems theory to the correlation between the ecosystems of organs and oncogenesis, be a powerful heuristic that could allow us to understand differential oncogenesis in organs more successfully?
Evmed correspondent Andrew Read has this interesting, counter-intuitive, piece about malaria resistance, written with colleague Mark Thomas. It is a commentary on a recent paper in PNAS by Viana, Hughes, Matthiopoulos, Ranson and Ferguson. "Delayed mortality effects cut the malaria transmission potential of insecticide-resistant mosquitoes."
Here is the opening paragraph of their commentary: "Malaria burdens have fallen dramatically this century, in large part because around a billion long-lasting insecticide-treated bed nets (LLINs) have been in- troduced into Africa. Hanging over this success is a key question: What if the insecticides stop working? Pyrethroids are the only chemical class currently approved for bed net use and, predictably, pyrethroid resistance is emerging in Anopheles populations. How much does this matter? Incredibly, we have little idea. The paper by Viana et al. in PNAS explores one piece of the puzzle.
In agriculture, the impact of insecticide resistance is relatively straightforward to anticipate: insects eat crops and insects that survive otherwise effective insecticide exposure continue to eat crops and reduce yield. But in public health, the situation is more nuanced. What matters is not simply whether mosquitoes survive insecticide exposure but, rather, whether insecticide resistance enhances the ability of mosquitoes to acquire and transmit pathogens (vectorial capacity). For example, most mosquitoes do not survive the 10–14 days it typically takes malaria parasites to become infectious. Insecticides work by reducing the number of survivors still further. Whether insecticide resistance negates this reduction depends critically on the lifespan of resistant mosquitoes. If resistance is incomplete—so the mosquitoes nonetheless die younger after repeated insecticide exposure—or if resistance itself is a life-shortening trait because it is metabolically costly, the impact of resistance on disease transmission might be negligible. Could it be that LLINs will continue to function in the face of increasing resistance?"
There is a great deal of scientific work on the relationship between states of inflammation in the body – routinely caused by bacterial or viral infection – and the brain. Specifically, the idea that inflammation in the periphery can communicate itself to the brain and cause a complementary state of neuro-inflammation, involving primed and hostile brain immune cells called microglia, that can easily get out of hand and cause states of depression and social withdrawal in the short-term, and the type of neuro-degeneration we see in Alzheimer's and other degenerative cognitive diseases, in the long-term. In fact, in Body by Darwin I cite the work by Clive Holmes and Hugh Perry, from the University of Southampton, which started with the observation that those dementia patients that suffered from any one of a number of chronic inflammatory conditions like cancer, heart disease, diabetes or arthritis, together with the spike of a recent infection, were cognitively declining at a much faster rate than Alzheimer's patients who were free of this disease background.
So you might imagine that an allergic reaction in the body, which causes an aberrant immune system response involving a whole slew of inflammatory chemical messenger molecules called cytokines, would have the same detrimental effect on cognition and brain health. But according to this recent paper in Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, written by Barbara Klein et al from Paracelsus Medical University in Austria, quite the opposite is true. Allergy appears to cause neurogenesis in the hippocampus (the part of the brain heavily involved in learning and memory) and a strong regulation of microglial activity.
When did tuberculosis arrive as a major lung pathogen of humans? Rebecca Chisholm, James Trauer, Darren Curnoe and Mark Tanaka, all from the University of New South Wales in Sydney, have presented a very nice story purporting to demonstrate how human cultural innovation can lead to social innovation and, in turn, to diseased respiratory systems that might have provided the perfect environment for a benign soil mycobacterium to turn nasty and become transmissible.
Back in 2011, in the journal Cell, Philip Stephens and a host of colleagues drawn mainly from the University of Cambridge and the Sanger Institute, published a dramatic account of extreme cancer evolution in a paper they titled "Massive Genomic Rearrangement Acquired in a Single Catastrophic Event during Cancer Development". The massive event they documented had come from cell samples collected from a 62 year-old woman with chronic lymphocytic leukaemia. They counted a massive 42 genomic rearrangements that had occurred, in one fell crisis, in the long arm of chromosome 4. Detailed sequencing of the chromosome revealed that these break points had been healed by DNA repair enzymes but in a random way where bits of chromosome were re-attached together such that the new conjoined fragments of DNA had originally been separated by megabases of DNA. They concluded that chromosome 4 had literally blown itself apart, some time before the patient had been diagnosed, and had been repaired, extraordinarily, to form a new "hodge-podge" chromosome which bore little structural resemblance to the original chromosome. They coined a name for the phenomenon – chromothripsis – which literally means "chromosome shattering into pieces". The patient had subsequently declined rapidly – her cancer relapsed because it had acquired resistance to alemtuzumab – the drug being used to treat her.
So, had they discovered an extremely rare extreme form of cancer evolution – a one in a trillion random event that had, against all odds, proved fortuitous – for the cancer – or is chromothripsis more commonplace? Ever since 2011, cases of chromothripsis have been appearing regularly in the scientific literature. As a mechanism for cancer evolution, and occasionally as a method to rectify a disease process, it is now becoming treated as a mainstream, if extreme, form of evolution. So much so that scientists from the College of Life Sciences at Sichuan University in China have created an online database of chromothripsis examples called ChromothripsisDB. Now Robert Rennert and Clark Chen, from UC San Diego, have added another dramatic case of chromothripsis to this growing pile – this time involving a particularly nasty type of brain cancer called glioblastoma.

The condo was amazing! Delbert was great, and the location of the condo. made the stress of wedding much easier..
Buc-ee's across the street was AWESOME!
My deposit was returned before I could even make it back to Florida- That was amazing also. I have used VRBO and others sites in the Past, this was by far the easiest visit..
We came into town to attend a graduation and visit family nearby. The condo was clean, spacious, and equipped with many amenities. The windows overlooking Texas Motor Speedway provided a dramatic view of the western sky, and the large balcony on the north side gave a partial view of the two other smaller tracks. Although it was a non-race weekend, there was still action at all three tracks. The location was very convenient, just moments away from I-35W and SH 114. We would definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a "home base" while visiting the northern Tarrant County area.
Although we brought our two dogs, we were concerned about the carpet and furniture. But once we arrived, we were pleasantly surprised to see how sturdy and pet-friendly the carpet and furniture were. Access to green space was outside and east of the tower, and litter bags were provided. The parking lot was well-lit, and we felt safe outside at night. Security cameras cover the building, but not the parking lot itself.
The kitchen had most appliances you would need: fridge, stove, oven, microwave, coffee maker, toaster, dishwasher, blender, etc., as well as a good assortment of utensils, plates, pots, pans, glassware, etc. (The only thing we brought was our Keurig.) The bathrooms were large, and all other appliances worked (washer and dryer, vacuum cleaner, etc.). The two queen beds were comfortable and clean, and we noticed several roll-away beds.
Working with Delbert was pleasant. He was very responsive and walked us through the process of completing the paperwork and mailing us the key. This was the first time for us to use VRBO, so we needed a little extra care!
The only drawbacks were the lack of televisions and WiFi. However, we knew this was the case going in, so it wasn't really an issue. (It was also nice to unplug from those devices for a few days.)
This condo is great for any event. Our group came to stay for a concert in the area and everyone thoroughly enjoyed their stay. We even were able to watch some cars practice on the track one night. Great host, amazing view and even better balcony views as well as space to accommodate. Will be returning!
Condo was great. Security very good. Very clean and had everything you might need for your stay. We loved the wall of windows that allows you to watch the track. Owner was very accomadating for our needs. Five of us stayed with plenty of room to spare.
The condo was clean and everything you need besides clothes and basic food is provided. It is wonderful, clean, and comfortable. We had 12 people come to watch the Nascar Race with us. Plenty of seats for everyone. I would recommend staying here to anyone. You won't regret it!
We stayed for 2 extra days due to an Ice Storm. The owner was awesome and accommodating. Our dogs even loved it... well not the window that looks straight down at the track. Very comfortable, we are planning to return on a race weekend one of these days!

NBA Street Volume 2
The king of the pavement returns in style; hoops legends, classic hip hop, and DJ Cucumberslice
"This redefines the meaning of in your face," grins producer Wil Mozell as he bounces the ball off of the face of a digital Bill Walton, stunning him for a moment, and then pounding through the lane for a predictably high-flying dunk with a side order of absurdity.
The premise has changed little since NBA Street's initial incarnation: Compete in three-on-three street games with real NBA players, employ a variety of decidedly over-the-top dribble moves and dunks, and talk more trash than Chris Tucker on amphetamines. Included alongside the assortment of original characters and current NBA stars are 25 NBA legends, including Dr. J, Magic Johnson, Larry Legend, and Michael Jordan. A host of new venues, ranging from Rucker Park to Lincoln College, have also been rendered in exquisite detail.
Not content to rest on its laurels, EA Big has implemented an entirely new graphics engine for this sequel; using realistic textures courts and environments, and then stylized, pseudo cel-shaded players, the game manages a distinctive visual tone. Legendary New York City DJ Bobbito will be handling the in-game commentary, while the soundtrack dips into the early '90s golden era of hip hop, with classics from Black Sheep, Pete Rock, and C.L. Smooth alongside a assortment contemporary chart toppers and underground heads.
Look for Volume 2 in March or April, and be glad you own an Xbox: EA promises that the console's four controller ports and on-board hardware effects (read: bump-mapping) will be taken advantage of, meaning this could be the single best iteration of the game yet.

The course [MTAL, Decimals and Introduction to Algebra] is easy to use, the videos helped me to visualize the materials being used. I enjoyed the forums because I can read what others have to say. I enjoyed the chats because it made me feel like I was not alone on this journey.I was a little overwhelmed with the number of videos I needed to watch.

Whether you like your kink to come with whips and chains or loads of campy humor, the sixth annual CineKink Film Festival is known for exploring sexuality from just about any angle. Highlights include Whips & Restraint, a program of seven films that look at the dynamics of control, submission, power, and release (dressing in s/m gear is optional), and Carlos Batts's Voluptuous Biker Babes, a sexual odyssey (shot on the original location of Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill!) of three buxom dance divas who get lost on a cross-country tour. And if you're the type that views porn behind closed doors, then the least you can do is enjoy the CineKink Afterglow Party and toast the talented bunch that bring you pleasure.

Graduates are unduly pessimistic about their career prospects in the current climate, according to a recent employment study.
In a recent graduate survey, 72% believed most employers would be cutting graduate vacancies in 2009, but in fact the prospects are much brighter for accounting graduates.
A study by High Fliers Research found that the accountancy sector is set to recruit the most graduates in 2009 (20.9% of the entire market).
"The results highlight the disillusion among UK graduates that has been caused by the current economic conditions", said Dorothy Wood, UK head of education for the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA).
She also advised that while there are no guarantees when it comes to employment, students should continue to focus on their professional...

Mentoring models that work.
Monday, 18th February 2013
Source : Joyce Gioia, Strategic Business Futurist
We have long touted the value of mentoring programs; mentors provide particularly valuable support for students and graduates to get them through rough times or help them acclimate to new situations.
Last month, the United States Business Leadership Network® (USBLN®), headquartered in Washington, DC, announced it had received a two-year national grant from the Mitsubishi Electric America Foundation (MEAF). The grant will support the expansion of their Career Link Mentoring Program, a collaborative project between the USBLN® and the Employer Assistance and Resource Network (EARN).
This Career Link Mentoring Program assists college students and recent graduates (including veterans) with disabilities, through connections to business professionals from the USBLN®'s member companies who are the mentors.
During the mentoring relationship, participants engage in various activities that have a positive impact on their future employment prospects. One goal of this mentoring program is to support employers' increasing demands for STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) professionals, as well as to encourage their hiring veterans.
MEAF provides national grants focused on its vision of empowering youth with disabilities to lead productive lives through increased employment. The USBLN® is a national non-profit, non-partisan business-to-business network promoting workplaces, marketplaces, and supply chains where people with disabilities are included.
Another mentoring model that has an impressive track record is that of Leadership CONNECTIONS in North Carolina. Leadership CONNECTIONS is a three-tiered mentoring program providing support to young women at risk, ages 14-17. The three tiers are professional women, graduates of the program, and peers. This successful program teaches Leadership Basics and provides Character Education, as well as requiring community service from the participants.
Led by its own graduates, the work of this non-profit qualified organization has produced amazing results: 82 percent of their participants graduated from four-year colleges and universities; 11 percent hold advanced degrees; and another 6 percent went on to get some type of certification or attended community college. Not many other programs can boast that level of success. The graduate leaders of this program are available to train others who want to start similar programs.
Kudos to both of these worthwhile programs! Mentoring works and offers the greatest pipeline-building prospect for employers worldwide. The best employers are already providing mentoring. If the US or any country is to be competitive on the global stage, it must embrace this mutually beneficial opportunity.

Historical Traveler Reviews Hotel Amsterdam Inn
Excellent Friendly Hotel
I just stayed at the Hotel De Lantaerne from Monday to Friday and was very very happy with the quaility of the hotel for the money i paid.
The hotel is situated in a great place, along the canal and very central with trams near by. The atmosphere in the area of the hotel is superb.
The staff in the hotel were very helpful and friendly and there is a bar downstairs that is open almost all night which serves food!!
The hotel is also immaculate with everything you need in the room and the delicous breakfast is a real bonus which is included in the price of your room!
I visit Amsterdam every year and will certainly be staying at the Hotel De Lantaerne next year and the following years after that!
A Hidden Treasure
I stayed in this hotel in February, after spending a few nights closer to Centraal Station in a 4 star hotel, this one surpassed my expectations.
Not only were the staff friendly, and down to earth, but the view of the canal was beautiful.
Breafast was inlcuded and was a variety of continental type breakfast foods.
The only thing to note about this hotel is that it has many steep stairs, and shower-toilets.
This is where the toilet is located in the shower stall. Very odd indeed.
However, the view, the price, the staff, and location completely outweigh any misgivings.
I would recommend this hotel to anyone who can climb a few stairs.
The only reason it doesn't have a higher star rating is due to the fact there is no lift (elevator).
Don't pass this one up!
Charming Hotel
I have been in Amsterdam about 20 times and have found that the Lantaerne Hotel is way above average for the price you pay. The staff are always polite and helpful. Yes, there are steep stairs, but that is Amsterdam. I always request a room no more than one flight up. They also have a few rooms on the entry floor. The location is wonderful.....right on a canal...and a few steps to the tram. Breakfasts are good and the hotel is very clean.
Very friendly hotel
I stayed at the Hotel Lantaerne 2 weeks ago over the weekend.
Amsterdam itself is a beautiful city and the weather was perfect as well. Hotel De lantaerne is a very friendly hotel with great staff and basic, but clean and nice rooms. A special thanks to the girl in the reception who gave us a lot of useful ideas of what to do during our stay.
We lived on the fourth floor with very steep stairs up to the room, but it actually did not matter, just good to get some exercise (!=) but I would not recommend this for older people.
Overall, Lantaerne is a great hotel and its location just could not be better!
Thank you very much!
Best wishes,
Ann from Finland
Great Hotel....great value
Small, quaint hotel, with a friendly staff, willing to share information with you. On the advice of the hotel owner, we visited our favorite town on our Honeymoon....Brugge, Belgium...and we would have never known about it if the gentleman at this hotel did not tell us.
This hotel is totally Amsterdam and totally Europe!!! We enjoyed our stay!
Love the Lantaerne
My partner and I have stayed at this hotel a number of times at various times of year, most recently in November 2002 and February 2003. The staff have always been extremely friendly and very helpful. The hotel has been undergoing renovations (most recently the front desk/lounge), but has a charming "Old Amsterdam" feel to it. The stairs are steep, so this hotel is better suited to people without much luggage! There is a delicious breakfast available in the basement.
Charming hotel, bit noisey tho
I stayed at this hotel in 2001. I thought this hotel was absolutely charming! It has a wonderful owner and operator, the staff friendly and helpful, and an excellent location. The stairs were steep but I didn't mind. Room no. 14 was ever so charming with the small balcony and french windows overlooking the canal, although the carpets were a bit worn and burned. The breakfast room was warm and sunny, inviting, quiet - absolutely European. The breakfast generous and tasty. Of course, there are lots of young party people staying at the hotel because of it's location. This is to be expected I think. Also, there was some party noise from the Melkweg, again this should be expected when a hotel is centrally located in a 'party district'. However, I would definitely stay here again. Thank you de Lantaerne! I had a great time!! and don't forget to buy the very nice owners a big bouquet of flowers.
De Lantaerne: totally Amsterdam
This is the perfect hotel for those who travel light and do not mind
walking up a steep flight of stairs. Located just a block from
Amsterdam's premier night life area, Leidseplein, on a little dead-end
quay at the intersection of two canals, right across the water from a
police station, the hotel has more Amsterdam atmosphere than almost any
other. And although there is 24-hour entertainment at a stone's throw,
it is quiet enough to sleep with your windows open.
We found the staff friendly (to kids and adults) and helpful, the breakfast ample, the beds not great but acceptable, and the clientele varied and interesting. And again, you can't find a better location!
Awful Hotel--Awful staff
When we got to this hotel after a long flight, and walked up the even longer flight of stairs--I cried. what a hole! to top it all off, a few months later, I noticed they had charged my credit card again. It took me three months to get AmEx to fix this. The hotel never responded to them either.
I say they are a bunch of criminals.
Hotel De Lantaerne
We just got back from Amsterdam.
The Hotel De Lantaerne - one of the lesser hotels - one step above a youth hostel - gouged us for over $160 a nite. This was 50% above their standard "rates" and twice what they advertised online.
We questioned the increased rate when at check in. Unable to find alternate sleeping arrangements (we were there for some meetings and flew in on a red eye). We were stuck with the much too high price.
I truly do not appreciate the last minute price jackings by third rate hotels (others in the hotel had a larger room and paid less!!!)
Beware traveller - stay away from Hotel De Lantaerne - lousy rooms, rates run the gamut and you too could be caught paying 4 star hotel rates for a dump!

We dumped the bags, washed the red wine that I had so cleverly poured down myself mid flights out of my top, and jumped straight on a tram heading for the center.
