Appeal from the Circuit Court of Cook County; the Hon. DONALD
J. O'BRIEN, Judge, presiding. Affirmed.
This is an appeal from the entry of a judgment in a bench trial against the plaintiff-appellant, J.L. Simmons Company, at the close of its case. Subsequent to the entry of such judgment, plaintiff made a motion to vacate the judgment, or in the alternative, to grant a new trial, which motion was denied and from which this appeal is taken.
Plaintiff's cause was founded exclusively upon the terms of a contract of liability insurance it held as the insured with the defendant-appellee, Lumbermens Mutual Insurance Company. The effective dates of the policy in question were July 1, 1955, to July 1, 1956. Plaintiff is a construction company and was in the month of October, 1955, engaged in the excavation of certain land owned by the Illinois Farm Supply Company (hereinafter referred to as Illinois Farm) in Springfield, Illinois. On October 5th and 6th, 1955, an unseasonably large quantity of rain fell in the Springfield area. Due to the rain, unanticipated underground hydrostatic pressures developed which began to buckle the existing shoring in the excavation. The walls of the excavation threatened to collapse and thereby place a warehouse structure on the immediately adjoining property in imminent peril. The adjoining property and structure were also owned by Illinois Farm.
During the course of the rainfall, plaintiff's insurance manager, Mr. Fusch, telephoned defendant's salesman, Mr. O'Rear, to inform him of the emergency situation. Defendant's agent, upon learning of the impending collapse, told Fusch to keep him advised, but otherwise took no affirmative action. Thereafter, plaintiff proceeded to secure and install emergency bracing against the pilings which had theretofore been in place. The preventative reinforcing measure successfully provided the lateral support needed to withstand the increased pressure. The adjacent subsoil beneath the warehouse did not collapse, although some settling and cracking damage to that structure did result.
Plaintiff maintains that it incurred, at cost and without a profit, approximately $13,000 in expenses to secure and erect the additional bracing, as well as $5,000 in expenses to repair the damage to the warehouse. Defendant argues that the evidence offered failed to sustain plaintiff's allegation of expenditures. Plaintiff concedes, that while the exact amount of damage is disputed, some damage has nonetheless been established by the evidence. Illinois Farm has never instituted a claim against plaintiff relative to this occurrence. Written notice of plaintiff's claim for reimbursement was not sent to defendant until October 3, 1956, almost a year after the events which gave rise to this cause of action.
Plaintiff contends defendant was and is obligated to reimburse it for such sums so expended pursuant to the terms of their contract of insurance. Plaintiff attached a copy of the contract to its complaint. Defendant admits the existence of the policy but denies liability on the basis of the contract's express language.
It is plaintiff's sole theory of the case that as an excavator it owed an absolute duty to the adjoining property owner not to remove its property's lateral and subjacent support. This absolute duty having been shown to exist, plaintiff maintains that the monies expended by it represented a sum which it was legally obligated to pay as damages within the meaning of the contract of insurance.
It is defendant's theory of the case (1) that plaintiff has failed to show that it became legally obligated to pay damages within the meaning of the policy's coverage, (2) that plaintiff has failed to comply with conditions 8 and 11 of said policy, and (3) that plaintiff's claim is excluded as a basis of liability by Endorsement K of the policy.
The insurance contract was amended by at least eighteen subsequent endorsements which each recite the same effective dates as that of the parent policy. While numerous provisions of both the parent policy and its subsequent endorsements have been called into question, we are of the opinion that only the following clauses are applicable to the disposition of this appeal, to wit:
Coverage B Property Damage Liability
To pay on behalf of the insured all sums which the insured shall become legally obligated to pay as damages because of injury to or destruction of property, including the loss of use thereof, caused by accident.
Condition 8 Notice of Accident
When an accident occurs written notice shall be given by or on behalf of the insured to the company or any of its authorized agents as soon as practicable.
Condition 11 Action Against Company
No action shall lie against the company unless, as a condition precedent thereto, the insured shall have fully complied with all the terms of this policy, nor until the amount of the insured's obligation to pay shall have been finally determined either by judgment against the insured after actual trial or by written agreement of the insured, the claimant, and the company.
Endorsement K Exclusion of Property Damage Liability
. . . such insurance as is afforded by the policy for property damage liability . . . does not apply to . . . (2) the collapse of or structural injury to any building or structure due (a) to excavation, . ..
Endorsement 11 Property Damage Liability
In consideration of an additional premium to be computed as herein provided, it is agreed that Comprehensive Endorsement K and Comprehensive Endorsement N do not apply, . . .
After the close of plaintiff's case, defendant made a motion for judgment in its favor as a matter of law. The trial judge, in granting such motion, stated: . . . assuming that all of the conditions and proper notice was given under the endorsement, . . . what are the obligations of the parties?
. . . in my opinion, the obligation of the defendant is as I read it under Coverage B of the Insuring Agreement, and that being the obligation of the defendant, it is my opinion in this case that the plaintiff has not and is not in a position that he can say that he became legally obligated to pay these damages, and, therefore, it is my opinion that he cannot recover under this policy.
Relative to the issues of (1) amount of damages, (2) the timeliness of plaintiff's notice to defendant, and (3) the applicability or inapplicability of Endorsement K's exclusion of damage resulting from excavation in light of Endorsement 11, this court renders no opinion. Notwithstanding such issues, we concur with the trial judge in that the plaintiff failed in its case to establish that it expended sums which, under the law, it was obligated to pay within the language and intent of Coverage B of the policy.
Plaintiff voices strenuous objection to the trial judge's determination of its cause as a matter of law. Plaintiff points out, and we agree, that since defendant's motion challenged the legal sufficiency of the action, the evidence thus far presented together with all its reasonable intendments should be construed in a light most favorable to plaintiff. Should there be any evidence, which standing alone supports the claim, the judgment must be reversed.
Plaintiff relies on three cases as authority for its theory that an excavator is under an absolute duty to adjoining landowners. These cases are City of Quincy v. Jones, 76 Ill. 231 (1875), Schroeder v. City of Joliet, 189 Ill. 48, 59 NE 550 (1901) and People ex rel. Hepburn v. Maddox, 340 Ill. App. 34, 91 N.E.2d 107 (1950).
The Quincy case establishes no such absolute duty of care. To the contrary, the case promulgates simply a duty of reasonable care taking into consideration all of the attendant circumstances. The duty was aptly considered a question of fact for a jury. Absent a violation of such a duty, the court said there could be no recovery. The Quincy decision goes even farther in qualifying this duty of care. The court there held that an adjoining landowner's right to lateral support extends only to his soil as it exists in its natural state, and not to the support needed as a consequence of the additional weight of a building erected thereon.
In the case of Exchange Nat. Bank of Chicago v. Code, 23 Ill. App.2d 382, 163 N.E.2d 554 (1959), this court adopted and followed the position taken in Quincy thereby refuting any arguments for the establishment of an absolute duty of care. We said:
The excavating owner owes no duty to the adjoining owner to shore up his property, but only owes the duty of using due care in the performance of the excavating.
While the distinction may be made that in the instant case plaintiff was an excavating contractor rather than an excavating owner, plaintiff has cited no case, nor are we aware of one which relied on this distinction for the imposition of a common-law absolute duty of care.
In this conjunction, plaintiff has relied on a statement in the Quincy case at pages 241 and 242 relative to the imposition of such an absolute duty where the two adjoining parcels are held by a common owner who has acquired ownership rights either by grant or prescription. The court there said: . . . the defendant is charged with the duty of supporting, not merely the soil, but the house of plaintiff's parcel. . . . the owner is said to be entitled to full protection against the consequence of any new excavation.
Plaintiff's point is not well taken as the latter, upon which it relies, was not determinative of the issues in the Quincy case. The complaining landowner in that case was held not to be the common owner of the parcels either by grant or prescription.
The Schroeder case is equally unpersuasive. There the defendant never denied, and thus put in issue, that it had removed the plaintiff's land's lateral support to her resulting damage. The only question before that court for determination was the measure of plaintiff's damages.
Likewise, the Hepburn case is not in point. Liability there was not predicated upon an absolute duty of care. The court based its determination of liability upon two findings; to wit, (1) that the defendant drainage commissioners knowingly furnished to the excavator (an independent contractor) defective plans and specifications that caused the injury complained of, and (2) that the collapse of the bridge involved was not caused by erosion and gullying as the defendants contended, but rather by defendants' deliberate lowering of the adjacent stream bed.
We cannot accept plaintiff's contention that it was bound to an absolute duty of care. To sustain such a proposition would require this court to say that the defenses of Act of God and/or exercise of reasonable care would be unavailing to plaintiff had it been sued by Illinois Farm. Such, of course, would be an erroneous interpretation of the applicable law.
Coverage B of the parent policy expressly limits defendant's property damage liability to "sums which the insured shall become legally obligated to pay as damages." Accordingly, plaintiff maintains that the costs of mitigating damages, which flow from a violation of a legal obligation, are themselves a measure of damages. Such a contention, of course, is not well taken if, in the first instance, such a legal obligation to pay has not been established by the evidence. Moreover, this court cannot probe into the merits of any would-be claim brought by Illinois Farm against plaintiff to determine the obligation as the question of their rights inter se is not properly before us.
Condition 11 of the parent policy, when read, not as a condition precedent to liability, but rather as it lends import and meaning to the language of Coverage B, can lead to but one inescapable interpretation of such coverage. Condition 11, in unequivocal language, conditions the insurer's liability upon the insured's obligation to pay having first been (1) finally determined by a judgment against the insured, or (2) consented to in writing by the insured, the claimant, and the company. Suffice to say, the claimant, Illinois Farm, has never brought an action against plaintiff relative to the occurrence, nor has plaintiff attempted to procure the written consent of the parties involved so as to establish some obligation with finality.
[4-8] This is not to say that the court ignores the exigent circumstances involved or the obvious good faith efforts of the plaintiff. We, however, are not empowered, in the guise of good faith and peculiar circumstances, to alter the terms of an otherwise unambiguous contract. The intention of the parties is the gravamen under ordinary contract principles. Absent an ambiguity, this intention can only be determined from the language of the agreement itself, and not from extrinsic circumstances. Allstate Ins. Co. v. Conglis, 33 Ill. App.2d 370, 179 N.E.2d 434 (1961); Pohlman v. Universal Mut. Cas. Co., 12 Ill. App.2d 153, 138 N.E.2d 848 (1956). The general rule is that the ambiguous portions of an insurance contract are to be construed most strongly against the insurer. That rule, however, cannot operate to authorize a perversion of the language and intention of the contracting parties for the purpose of creating an ambiguity where none exists. Yadro v. United States Fidelity & Guaranty Co., 4 Ill. App.2d 477, 124 N.E.2d 370 (1955).
In so ruling, we do not think we are casting upon plaintiff an unreasonable burden. Plaintiff was not without a feasible alternative when faced with the impending collapse. Plaintiff could have procured the written consent of Illinois Farm and defendant before incurring the expenses alleged. It never chose to do so. The fact that defendant's agent, Mr. O'Rear, took no affirmative action when informed of the situation is of no consequence. The contract did not place the burden upon the insurer to finalize a determination of the alleged obligation of the insured. Oda v. Highway Ins. Co., 44 Ill. App.2d 235, 194 N.E.2d 489 (1963).
Nowhere in the insuring agreement is plaintiff empowered to make an ex parte determination of its obligation to pay. Accordingly, plaintiff acted as a mere volunteer and is thus not entitled to the cost of mitigating a damage, which damage it may not have been legally obligated to pay initially.
Plaintiff's case of Leebov v. United States Fidelity & Guaranty Co., 401 Pa 477, 165 A.2d 82 (1960), does not dictate a contrary conclusion. There the insured was awarded expenses incurred as a consequence of his attempt to arrest a threatened landslide. The insurance contract involved contained quite similar language to that found in Coverage B of the instant policy. Of pivotal significance, however, is that unlike the case at bar, the injured property owner had theretofore obtained a judgment against the insured for the amount of the damage to his land. It was only from within this perspective that the insured was reimbursed his costs in attempting to mitigate further damage. In Leebov, the insured had truly become "legally obligated to pay" within the meaning of the insurance contract. Plaintiff's alleged obligation in the instant case has not been subjected to any such judicial determination.
Plaintiff next contends the judgment for defendant at the close of its case prematurely and erroneously considered certain affirmative defenses of defendant. We do not agree. All other proofs notwithstanding, plaintiff failed to establish prima facie its legal obligation to pay within the meaning of the contract which formed the sole basis of its action. A copy of the contract was attached to plaintiff's complaint, and was ofttimes alluded to on both direct and cross-examination during the course of its presentation. As such, the trial judge did not err in considering the language of Coverage B when passing upon defendant's motion for judgment. There being no evidence to support plaintiff's claim, we must sustain the lower court's finding.
For the above reasons, the judgment is affirmed.

The whole experience worked out beautifully, beginning with great communication. David could not be there, but his friend Michael was at the door to greet me. I felt exceptionally well taken care of, enjoyed both the peace and safety of the neighborhood, and especially enjoyed conversations with my host. This is one of the AirBNB spots I'll remember fondly.Colleen July 2016

The location is up on a beautiful hill in a very secluded area. The cottage is adjacent to the main house with a nice pool. Perfectly decorated rooms with fresh flowers. The bedroom is rather small, but has a comfortable bed and good natural light. David is a very gracious host and gentleman. He gave us privacy while being always available when needed. Croissants, yogurt with coffee/tea in the morning was a very nice treat. It was a shame that we could only stay for a night. Had a relaxing and peaceful stay. Would love to go back.AzusaJune 2016

In addition to being spacious and clean and providing all necessary amenities and more, what we loved most about this property was its location. One can stay in Santa Barbara and be perfectly happy, but to stay and enjoy Montecito is truly one of life's great experiences. We felt as if we were local residents and loved our stay.helmutJuly 2016

Beautiful. Peaceful. Private. Dino and Florida were gracious, friendly, and discrete hosts. I couldn't have asked for a more pleasant stay. The cabana and grounds were even more gorgeous than the pictures, if you can believe it. I've been around the world; Europe, South America, Hawaii; but this was easily my favorite out of everywhere I've been. I am hopeful I get to visit again!MatthewMay 2016
Dino was extremely nice and hospitable. The rental is beautiful and grounds are breathe taking. I highly recommend Dino's property!AshleyMay 2016
Better than a high priced resort. The home opens on a private garden and patio with your own pool and hot tub with a private meditation space. For those of us from the cold east, it is a paradise. Dino is a great host and if you are kind, he might serve you his famous mocha on the patio. The home is lovely inside as well. The host's eye as an artist carries inside as well as outside. Five stars is not enough for this magical place. The only problem is you do not want to leave to do your tourist things.JohnMay 2016
Dino was the perfect host! He made sure my husband and I were well taken care of during our stay. Dino even checked in on us to make sure we were having an enjoyable stay while he was on vacation! The property is beautiful and relaxing and is a great place to stay in the Santa Barbara area.KatherineJune 2016
He allowed us an early check in and showed us the unit. He periodically checked to be sure everything was okay by text.JAMESOctober 2016
Absolutely beautiful! The location, the hosts, and the accommodations were all wonderful. I visit the area often and this will now be my first choice of places to stay (even above the luxury hotels). The cabana was large, very clean, well decorated and had every amenity we needed. It was easy to see why their reviews are so strong - Dino and his wife really do go above and beyond to make their guests happy and comfortable.Erica May 2016
Incredible! We didn't want to leave! Dino and Florida were accommodating and welcoming. The place is beautiful! So serene and lush...a little tropical getaway without the long flight! We will definitely be back. Highly recommend!!! Thank you!KarenJune 2015
Dino was the perfect host--helpful and accessible if needed. The property is beautiful. The gardens are lush and gorgeous. The waterfall at the pool was soothing. You feel like you are in paradise.

Carla's home is beautiful! My fiancé and I traveled from SF for Memorial Day Weekend to meet some friends (and their dog!) and we all stayed here. Her "cottage" (it's very big - not how I'd describe a cottage) is adorable. The mattress in the master is TO DIE FOR and every little detail in there is just perfect. Carla is super friendly and easy to get in touch with. The pool + hot tub are an added bonus. We left feeling relaxed after a weekend in her home!BeckyMay 2016
Carla was a very pleasant hostess. The place was clean and comfortable. The area was great, yard private. Great pool and jacuzzi. A little oasis. Santa Barbara is fantastic too. Many excellent restaurants, beaches and shopping. Do you want to relax? Go to Carla's Cottages.LynnAugust 2016

Kat was a wonderful hostess who met us upon arrival to provide info about the area and lodging. Our apt was really nice and quaint. We were fortunate enough to shower under a full moon (no pun intended) one night which was absolutely gorgeous and a truly unique experience. I would definitely recommend this as an option if someone is vacationing or conducting business in the Santa Barbara/Montecito area as the location was extremely convenient.ElliotAugust 2015
Thank you Kat for a great place to stay! The Petite Retreat was a delightful place to stay! A walk away form the best restaurants and beaches in Montecito. The fresh fruit and drinks were a welcome treat after a long day of traveling. Hope to stay there on my next visit. Tnak you again.NancyAugust 2015
It was my second time at the Petite Retreat, so it really did feel like visiting friends or family. Kathleen has wonderful energy and I love her menagerie of cats and dog--it makes me feel at home.kathieMay 2015
Prime location for spending time in beautiful Montecito!!! This petite retreat is literally 90 seconds' walk to several fantastic restaurants and the wonderful downtown boutiques. It was very clean (and I have high standards!) when we arrived and Kathleen really seems to take pride in her little rental, evidenced by the sweet decor and cute dishes etc in the kitchen Etc. She obviously enjoyed pulling the place together, not just putting in her cast offs, like others might do. Parking was perfect right across the street. Highly recommend this for a short getaway! The location couldn't be better and showering under the jasmine and night sky was a real treat!ErinMarch 2016
The Petite retreat was the perfect getaway for my boyfriend and I, we enjoyed our stay so much. The location is great.. Close walking distance to all the restaurants and shops in downtown montecito. The retreat itself is small but so pretty and quaint. I had reservations about the outdoor shower but trust me it is private, and it turned out to be my favorite part of my stay! Kat is a wonderful host, she made us feel comfortable and gave us tips for the best places to go to eat. I am hoping I can return to this perfect little place in the most beautiful town in California:)BrennaJanuary 2015
Our stay at the Petite Retreat was perfect. The location of the home is accessible to everything you could ever want and need in gorgeous Montecito/Santa Barbara. The room is quaint and charming with many rustic details throughout. The out door shower is to die for. It's a really unique experience. Kat was an incredible host, who offered her insight to the many hidden treasures of the area. My wife and I had a blast exploring beautiful Santa Barbara and even managed to run into some celebrities while we were there. I highly recommend the Petite Retreat. Its a true oasis.AshleyApril 2015

Quiet, clean, and very comfortable home. Nice little neighborhood. Beautiful and peaceful backyard. Very comfortable bed. We want to come back when we have more lesure time and try some of the near by hiking trails!JenniferNovember 2016
I stayed in the room for a long weekend with my girlfriend. The space was pretty, clean, and comfortable. Susan was accommodating, inobtrusive, and very available by text. The house itself is an hour walk or a car ride from downtown Santa Barbara, which we found to be perfectly convenient for a short stay. It couldn't have been better.IanNovember 2016
Susan is a wonderful individual - very outgoing, accommodating, fun spirited, and made my stay there very enjoyable. I highly recommend her home as a great find. The home is beautifully decorated, super quiet, has an amazing back yard with lots of vegetation and trees, outdoor heater was especially nice when sipping wine with cheese before heading out to dinner. A++ Thank you Susan!MichaelNovember 2016
Most hospitable and accommodating host I have ever encountered. Simply awesome. Highly recommend this property if you want a quiet retreat and new beautiful accommodations.AaronOctober 2016

Staying at Jill's casita was a great experience. Very clean and very private. It has everything that you need to make you feel at home(nice decor, appliances, and quality amenities). Montecito is a great place to vacation. We were able to hike in the hills and on the beach. I only wish our vacation could have lasted a little longer. Jill is a great communicator and a friendly person.RonNovember 2016
Absolutely wonderful, quiet and quaint. Close to San Ysidro Ranch, and a quick Uber ride to downtown Santa Barbara. Furnishings were beyond expectations. Would recommend this to anyone looking to visit the Santa Barbara area.EmilyOctober 2016
Jillian's place was great! The Casita was clean, gorgeous and perfect for a short getaway. The location is excellent close to beaches, shopping and restaurants. The neighborhood is very quiet and safe, but is also very close to the highway.AjOctober 2016
Jills Casita is one of a kind and she was an awesome host. She has thought of EVERYTHING. The Casita is clean, spacious, comfortable and stylish, with all of the amenities you would find in a 5 Star hotel. We searched long and hard around Montecito and Santa Barbara for the best 1 bedroom rental, you will not find anything like this. Totally unique. Thank you Jill!!!PeteOctober 2016
Wonderful place to stay. Clean, comfortable and had everything we needed and more! Jillian could not have been nicer or more hospitable. We had a wonderful time and highly recommend staying in this wonderful apartment.LizaOctober 2016

Shaye's place is lovely. Very clean, very close to Santa Barbara, very charming. The whole process went very seamlessly. I would stay there again anytime and can only recommend it to any other tenant.BennetSeptember 2015
This studio is within easy walking distance (~0.5 miles) to both the beach and "downtown" Montecito. The place is bright and clean and great for a couple nights. I would definitely stay here again if we are back!AaronNovember 2016
Shaye's romantic little cottage is just perfect for a little weekend getaway. Nice Mermaid-themed ocean decor, great little patio, and maybe the most comfortable bed I've ever slept in! We had a lovely stay and will certainly return.nickApril 2014
Staying in Shaye's casita was absolutely wonderful. It's a very private, very romantic little place with everything you need plus some. My favorite part of the experience was the outdoor shower. It's covered in flowers and has a fantastic shower head. Pillows and bed were A+, location was perfect, and communication with Shaye was seamless even though we never met. There is a lovely strip of restaurants and shops just up the road, and the Four Seasons is just down the road-- perfect for a cocktail or two while watching the sunset. I highly recommend staying here!RebekahApril 2015
We had a lovely time at Shaye's! The room was light and airy and felt very spacious. It had everything you might need, including a lovely outdoor shower, a nice private patio, and muffins awaiting us when we arrived. Shaye was very accessible by phone and made our stay easy, including letting us leave our bags behind for a bit after we checked out. The location is fantastic--just a short walk to the beach, and an even shorter walk to downtown Montecito, which has some great restaurants. (Get breakfast at Jeannine's!) The bathroom has a noisy fan that turns on with the light and the shower does leak a bit, but it didn't really matter. The wifi was very fast, which was a big plus! Overall, highly recommended!GeoffApril 2015
Perfect! Private and charming, comfortable bed. Host was communicative and made it easy!SarahApril 2015
Shaye was an incredible host during my stay at Casita Butterfly Studio. The place itself was perfect - comfortable, relaxing, spacious and beautifully designed! I will definitely be back one day & highly recommend this place!PHOEBEJuly 2012
Shaye was wonderful. She was very accommodating on our arrival time and super laid back and easy to work with. The space is adorable. I was here for a wedding at San Ysidro Ranch up the road and this was really a gem of a find. The outdoor shower makes the entire space. It definitely is the best part of the property. I would highly recommend staying here!CaitlynSeptember 2014

San Ysidro cottage made for a great wknd away with the family. Excellent location and communication by Luis. Will hopefully be back soon.JonSeptember 2016
The Cottage was very clean and the owner was very responsive to all our needs and requests. It had a great backyard. We had a great time there in this beautiful cottage.HosseinMarch 2016
Luis made our family feel welcome and greeted us shortly upon arrival. The location was perfect for our daily Santa Barbara outings, just a 5min drive. And the beach was a short walk from the house. The best part of the cottage was the backyard, with a sandpit and play structure that kept the kids busy. In the morning we would open the door and see little bunnies in the yard which delighted the kids. We BBQ dinner one night and ate out in the private but large backyard. And we enjoyed using the jacuzzi w the kids. Parking was ample for our parties two large cars. Great stay!JinnyAugust 2016
Luis was very accommodating ! The place was well kept and the jacuzzi tipped it all off. Thank you for an amazing stay.GraceJune 2016
Luis was an excellent host. Check-in was simple and he even provided us with beach towels. The house was awesome and just what we needed for our girls getaway. The house came equipped with everything we needed:full kitchen with utensils, closets with enough space to hang our clothes, etc. The hot tub was also a nice way for us to unwind at the end of the day. Perfect location with easy access to restaurants, shopping, and the beach is right down the street. You can get to most attractions within 10 minutes.KristenJuly 2016
Luis is a wonderful host! Very responsive, very professional, very welcoming. The cottage is absolutely lovely-- private, well-appointed, good pillows, a true home-away-from-home feel! I brought my two children and their two friends (four kids ages 6-10) and this was the perfect place. Easy walk to Miramar Beach and Coast Village Road. Plenty of sleeping options, towels, etc. for us all! I definitely look forward to returning.JulieJune 2016
We had a nice stay. Good location close to the beach. Simple but efficient. Luis is very easy and helpful.romainOctober 2016
Luis was a great host! He communicated with us and made us feel welcome. We loved the little cottage. It had a huge back yard for our one year old boys to play. It was a very relaxing stay and we look forward to returning. The cottage had all the admenities we needed for our get-away weekend!MeganAugust 2016

How would we describe our experience? One word, amazing. I thought it was a little unusual for the host to meet us at the house but after experiencing it I wouldn't have any other way. He was extremely friendly and polite. We got a tour of the property and the amenities. Our host also gave us some great tips on things to do and places to eat. All of the recommendations were spot on. To top it off, we were greeted with two bottles of wine, crackers, cheese, etc. The house was immaculate and the entire property was amazing. We can't wait to book this place again.AshleyFebruary 2015
Chris couldn't have been more welcoming and thoughtful. It truly is a beautiful and special space. You will feel transported but comfortable at the same time. We absolutely will be back! Thank you!NikiJuly 2015
Staying at the surf shack was an amazing experience! Chris and Lisa were so sweet welcoming us and letting us know all about the best places to go in the area. The house itself is pristine and so relaxing. The neighborhood is absolutely beautiful. We cannot wait to go back!BrigidOctober 2014
We had a great experience at the Eco-Surfshack. It was a great location close to downtown Montecito and the beach. The outdoor space was awesome. Everything was very clean and Chris was easily acessible. Would highly recommend.KariApril 2015
We were in Santa Barbara for a wedding at the Four Seasons. While most of the wedding guests stayed at the Four Seasons itself for $(PHONE NUMBER HIDDEN)+ a night we opted to stay in the Eco-Surfshack itself. And we are thrilled that we did. The Surfshack is incredibly conveniently located (adjacent to town, a ~5 minute walk from the beach / the Four Seasons), it is very clean, quiet, and spacious. The owners are very kind and extremely responsive. There is an outside yoga mat, a firepit, an outside bar with stools, and enough seats for 15+ people. There are five bikes that we used to get around town and a few surf boards that will make your beach experience unforgettable. All-in-all, we made our friends who stayed at the Four Seasons jealous and would certainly be back!RomanJune 2015
Wonderful home in walking distance to shops and restaurants, with a lot of thoughtful touches. The location was a great home base for biking through Montecito and Santa Barbara. We would definitely stay here again.ShaneJune 2016
What an awesome place. So well appointed (clean, organic and super comfy) and the best location. Close to restaurants, shops and the beach. Bikes were fun to ride around (Santa Barbara has a network of bike paths)- we explored Funk Zone, down town and the coast. Chris also has great information about hikes in the area. The outdoor area is perfect for a cup of coffee in the morning and a glass of wine in the evening. A fantastic stay-LaurieMay 2016
Chris is a friendly host. His eco-shack is a comfortable and cozy setup with a nice patio/outdoor space for hanging out. Location is great - Butterfly beach is just a 10 minute walk. Would recommend Chris's hospitality without any reservations.ANDYMay 2016

Pamela was an A+ host. Prior to our arrival her responses were always prompt and her instructions were very clear. The studio was super clean and well equipped with everything we needed to make the most out of our stay and the surrounding area. The location was perfect - Montecito, the beach, and the Biltmore were all a very short walk away. I'm already trying to find an excuse to return and stay with her again.ScottAugust 2015
Warm, inviting casita- perfect for our needs. Walkable to beach and Montecito brunch/dinner spots. Pamela and her husband were humble hosts. Highly recommend it over a hotel stay.TonyNovember 2014
Great great place! Quiet, close to the beach, private entrance and such a comfortable place.KimAugust 2014
My girlfriend walked in and said "OH this is so cute!" Seriously it was perfect. Extremely easy to get on and off the highway from the location. Pamela was welcoming and super sweet. She was right about the short walk to the beach. We loved all the extra accoutrements she had ready; towels, beach chairs, water. It's close to the train tracks so you'll probably hear it come through in the morning.TimothyOctober 2015
The Casita and our hosts were lovely and the house was perfect for our stay in Montecito. The location is great -- it's a 5-10 minute drive to San Ysidro ranch, a 5 minute walk to the main street with restaurants, shops, etc. and a short walk to the beach. The Casita was spotless and cozy and stocked with coffee and even some snacks, and all the dishes, etc. you would need. Pamela was very easy to communicate with ahead of time, and when we let her know we wouldn't be arriving until late, she was so thoughtful to turn on the lights and the heat in the Casita and make it easy for us to get in. She was warm and welcoming and not at all intrusive. I would recommend the Casita to anyone who wants a clean, comfortable, affordable spot to sleep right in Montecito. We would definitely go back.MariamMarch 2015
We had a wonderful stay and our host Pamela was wonderful. The location was great as we had a wedding at the Four Seasons Resort The Biltmore and it was walking distance. Thank you Pamela.SarahApril 2016
Place was awesome! Gf and I wanted a place that was nice and close to everything and it couldn't have been better. Very nice couple. Everything you would need and you can't beat the location. 10 min drive to downtown Sb and you can walk to butterfly beach. Will definitely come back again.ColinSeptember 2016
My husband and I stayed at Pamela's apartment for 2 nights while in Santa Barbara for our son-in-law's graduation from UCSB. The apartment is well furnished and comfortable. Also, it's within easy walking distance of a downtown area with nice restaurants which we went to for breakfast. We were able to check in after 11:00 PM which was very convenient. Although the apartment is close to Highway 101, it is very quiet and peaceful.RobinJune 2016

We had the pleasure to stay 4 nights in this gorgeous cottage in Montecito when visiting friends in Santa Barbara which is only a few minutes drive. Jennifer is a very warm-hearted person who made us feel welcome from the first contact. She was very attentive in preparing our stay with some tasty and selected treats, fresh fruit, detailed decoration and flowers from her garden. The cottage is very clean and high quality and very tastefully ranch-styled furnished with everything needed to feel comfortable. It is perfectly equipped with a spacious living-area, a fully equipped kitchen, a very beautiful bathroom and various places to sit outside and enjoy the beautifully arranged surrounding. And not to forget the extremely comfortable bed - you wouldn't want to get up in the morning if there wasn't the option of a good coffee. We very much enjoyed the silence and positive atmosphere of this estate and will definetly consider coming back when we will revisit Santa Barbara!AngelikaAugust 2016
Jennifer is warm, kind, considerate, accessible, and responsive. Couldn't ask for a better host.RinzaiSeptember 2016
We enjoyed our recent visit to Montecito and Jennifer was a fantastic host. The property was private, clean, and peaceful. I highly recommend this wonderful place.RonaldMay 2016
Jennifer was very helpful and responsive - making sure we had all the information and directions we need and asking if there was anything that we needed to make our stay enjoyable. She kindly provided snacks and wine which made us feel very welcome. The cottage is as listed and a really lovely place to stay - immaculately decorated, clean and very comfortable. There are also nice outside areas out the front and back of the cottage where we could sit and enjoy the garden. The neighbourhood is nice and quiet and it's an easy drive downtown or to the beach. Thanks for having us.RosannaSeptember 2016
Our stay in such a wonderful setting, with comfortable well appointed accommodations, was perfect. Jennifer's attention to detail inside our cottage and surrounding grounds is remarkable and greatly appreciated. A five star experience.DougAugust 2016
Jennifer was the perfect host! Helpful, receptive, and responsive. She had to deal with a family crisis in the middle of our stay, and she went above and beyond to make sure everything about our stay was smooth despite having her own unexpected event. The cottage itself was gorgeous, luxuriously stocked (including special snacks and beverages left by Jennifer - so sweet!) and really comfortable. It's about a 10-15 minute drive to downtown, nestled in the Montecito foothills. We had a really wonderful stay. Thank you, Jennifer!VickiAugust 2016
This property was so much more than we had expected. Our host Jennifer, made us feel like we were family staying at the property. It felt more like a bed and breakfast without being intrusive. On to the cottage itself. My girlfriend is an interior designer and she was amazed by how well the space was used. This was by far, the best Airbnb we stayed at. The interior of the house is not even its best quality. The front yard has been transformed into a place that can make you forget you are 5 minutes from the beach. The pictures just don't do justice on how beatific this property is. I would highly recommend anyone to stay here if you want the best service from your host and the amenities of a nice boutique hotel. We are already talking about when we will be going back.JosephJune 2016
Our stay at Jennifer's Storybook Cottage could not have been better. She is a fantastic host! The cottage and the grounds are amazing. She made us feel super welcome and our three night stay was awesome largely due to her incredible attention to every detail!TonyJune 2016

What a great experience. Jill was super responsive and helpful, and even left us a bottle of wine! The place is great, really nice kitchen with a Viking range, the bathroom is new, and there's a great private outdoor patio area where we enjoyed that wine with some cheese we picked up in town. The beach is just a hundred yards down this quiet street, you could easily just hole up in this adorable cottage and unplug from the real world.LizNovember 2015
The place is as pictured and very clean. Jill is an extremely nice person and was very knowledgeable about local restaurants and attractions.JeremyApril 2016
Our stay at the Miramar Beach cottage could not have been lovelier. Our host was a warm and generous communicator, ready to offer any assistance we might need. The beautiful beach is a short barefoot walk away. The beach-style decor is both comfortable and chic. Kitchen and bath were fully equipped with everything we needed, and all the products offered were top quality, ecological, organic and well chosen. We can't wait to return.MarthaDecember 2015
Jill met us at the cottage and showed us around. The location was great and the amenities were comfortable.MeaganFebruary 2016
awesome location, awesome hostChipNovember 2015
I had a wonderful time at the Miramar guest house! Jill was there when we arrived, and even had a bottle of wine waiting for us. The house was clean and bright (with several skylights), and very spacious for two people. There were fresh towels, and we were able to park right in front of the little bungalow. We made use of the private patio on the side of the house too. It was literally 30 seconds to the beach, and a short car ride to downtown Santa Barbara. Jill recommended a great Indonesian restaurant called Sama Sama, where I had one of the best meals of my life. It was a wonderful trip, and I'm looking forward to going back as soon as possible!Caroline October 2015
Jill is an amazing host and took great care to be sure that we were comfortable and happy. This is a charming and delightful cottage in a terrific neighborhood. It was completely private, and just one block from the best beach in Santa Barbara. I am looking forward to returning soon to this very special AirBnB.RichieDecember 2015
The guesthouse was beautiful, clean and comfortable. The location was great, it's a 5 minute walk from the beach for gorgeous sunsets! Jill was a wonderful host! She was a pleasure to communicate with even though we didn't see her in person and was super responsive to all our messages, giving tons of great recommendations for sights to see and places to eat. Thanks so much Jill for a lovely stay and helping us have a wonderful New Year!EvanJanuary 2016

Everything is charming! The neighborhood, the main home, the secluded cottage! Magical. Suzanne was relaxing in the garden to greet me, and gave me a tour of the space. She was appropriately helpful, hospitable, and warm.SammyAugust 2016
We had the pleasure of staying in the delightful cottages over the weekend. It felt like a secret garden, peaceful and serene. The bed was very comfortable and the French decor made us feel right in Provence! The host was easy to communicate with; she even the light on for us as we were arriving late, which was a nice touch! We would definitely stay here again.AndreaJuly 2016
Suzanne did a nice job of preparing the cottage and guest house for our stay. Since we arrived after Christmas and it was cold she had plenty of extra blankets and a heater. The positives The location is very good. Not far from The freeway with access to Santa Barbara. The grounds of the Property are very nice. The cottage is a romantic one bedroom. The two cottages are secluded in the backyard with their own private courtyard. The negatives The second bed is a sofa bed, so this listing is best for one couple rather than 2 There is only one bathroom and it is connected to the kitchenette. With two couples it makes it difficult to have privacy and difficult for use of the facilities in the middle of the night. Overall a nice setting and experience.TomDecember 2015
Suzanne was a lovely host with timely responses to any queries we had. This space would best suit a couple with children rather than 3 adult guests as the bathroom/kitchen/lounge facilities are on the smaller side, through the main bedroom. Otherwise it was a nice secluded retreat!ErinAugust 2016
Suzanne's cottage was one of the best airbnb experiences I have had! She was so helpful and easy to coordinate with. Loved everything about it, especially the avocado tree!!!GriffMarch 2016
It was a very cute cottage! Very clean and in a quiet and peaceful area. I dont think It works for more than 2 people. The bed was great but the sofá-bed was very uncomfortable.Margarita November 2015

Tracy's guest house was adorably charming, very clean and well designed. The beds were comfortable and the common area is great. Myself and two colleagues stayed for 3 nights, in which we were working long hours so it was nice to come home to comfortable, homey arrangements. Tracy was the perfect host- even leaving snacks, coffee and water. There is no kitchen which is was fine for us since we were out for all meals. And it is just a short drive to the beach for morning runs. I would definitely stay here again! Thanks Tracy.Kerryn October 2016
Tracy was an excellent host, very courteous and helpful. The home was beautiful, comfortable, and exactly as described in the listing. Our business trip that brought us to Santa Barbara was extended by several days and Tracy was very accommodating of our changing plans. We would be happy to stay at her property again.StacieJune 2016
My stay at Tracy's guest cottage was delightful and so peaceful. I needed a place to stay near Carpinteria for a wedding and her cottage in Montecito was perfect - super clean, charming, well-decorated and supplied with plenty of fresh towels. Tracy greeted us upon arrival and made us feel very comfortable and welcome. She even lent us her steamer in preparation for the wedding which saved the day! The cottage was the perfect haven to come back to after a long day of wedding planning and much homier than staying in a hotelCarmelSeptember 2016
Arriving at Tracys cottage was a wonderful surprise. As the electric gate opened, we were awed by the gorgeous mountain view and the gorgeous grounds. The cottage is adorable and a perfect layout with the 2 bedrooms separated by the gathering space in the middle. All the details are done with quality and the feeling is very welcoming. But, best of all, the beds are so comfy, we all woke up late and commented on the great sleep and lovely bedding! Even though Tracy was out of town, we were greeted by her friend and made to feel at home with perfect communication from start to finish. I hope to visit again very soon!ClaireJune 2016
Tracy's cottage was very relaxing and comfortable. It was spacious and clean. She communicated very well and made us feel at home.SallyAugust 2016
Tracy was the perfect host-available when needed, but not omnipresent. We arrived at night and were pleasantly surprised to find the property gated since we didn't know exactly where we were. The cottage is perfectly charming and soooo roomy (especially compared to our LA hotel room the night before). The grounds and main house are beautiful, neighborhood is so nice and it'sjust a quick drive down to Santa Barbara. What a lovely stay. We only stayed two nights, but wished we could have spent every night in this delightful spot.JulieMay 2015
Our stay at Tracy's cottage was perfect. My husband and I enjoyed the peaceful setting with our one year old daughter and Nana and Papa. The cottage was cozy and clean. Tracy is warm and welcoming.DanaJune 2015
We've just returned from a trip to Santa Barbara. Our stay in Montecito at Tracy's home began with her greeting us with chocolate chip cookies and only got better. The amazing Padero Beach was only 5 minutes away. Her home and yard are even more beautiful that the pictures portray. The inside of the cottage fit our family of four with room to spare. The rooms were every bit as charming as I had expected. Throughout our stay we would text Tracy for restaurant suggestions and she came through every time. She even took my wife on a hike. Halfway through our stay we found several beach towels on our doorstep. How she knew we were 2 towels short I don't know. I rose early every morning to the sound of birds and the smell of her roses. We couldn't have been more satisfied.EvanApril 2016

What you're seeing is the ointment being used to treat a slight eye infection which should easily clear up. According to his foster, Garrison's personality is "awesome," and "he's such a lamb!" He loves people and also other animals! He's a great guy who would make a fine family dog! (posted 8/2/16, ME, N/A)

Satellite Communications for M2M Data Transfers
Based on its broadband technology, a completely satellite-based broadband service platform, SES Techcom Services offers a highly reliable and low-cost professional solution to implement SCADA applications for industry customers.
The term SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) refers to centralized systems which manage, monitor and control assets or processes and transfer data to a group of widespread recipients. Typical industrial environments for SCADA applications are the energy, oil and gas and security sectors, where production or operation sites are usually decentralized. To guarantee a constant data flow within the operations network, these industries need a solid communications system which they can rely on at all times.
With many of the production or operation sites located in non-metropolitan areas without an extensive terrestrial communications network, though, companies are often faced with financial and infrastructural burdens when it comes to implementing SCADA applications. Bi-directional satellite technology is an ideal solution as it provides a cost-effective communications alternative which allows SCADA networks to be set up in remote areas.
Thanks to the satellite connection provided by SES Techcom Services, companies are able to use alternative Machine-to-Machine (M2M) communications platforms to control and transfer their data, even in regions without terrestrial broadband networks. The service provides a highly reliable and cost-efficient communications link for end customers, without the need for large investment in broadband infrastructures.
Key features/benefits:
- A low-cost, flexible and easily scalable solution
- High reliability and efficient bandwidth utilization
- The ability to connect remotely located sites
- No infrastructure investment required
- Quick deployment and provisioning

St. Patrick of Ireland by Philip Freeman
Book DescriptionSt Patrick did not drive the snakes out of Ireland (the island had no snakes), nor did he engage in epic battles of supernatural power with Irish druids. But the facts revealed in this eminently readable biography are no less astonishing than the myths that surround him. Born in Britain in the late fourth century, Patrick was raised as a Roman citizen and a Christian nobleman, Just before his sixteenth birthday, he was captured by Irish pirates and enslaved. He spent six years tending sheep in Ireland, escaped and returned home to his astonished parents. Soon afterward, he announced that God wanted him to become a priest and convert the Irish to Christianity. Patrick spent the rest of his life in Ireland, leaving behind two remarkable letters that reveal more about him than we know about almost any contemporary figure. Philip Freeman brilliantly reconstructs daily life in the British Isles during the last days of the Roman Empire, putting Patrick's achievements in context with the beliefs of the day. The Patrick who emerges is even more extraordinary than the patron saint of legend - a passionate, courageous and very human figure who exerted an incalculable impact on the course of Irish history.

Sainsbury to hike dividend
J Sainsbury will reveal a rise in its full-year dividend this week in a bid to appease shareholders who were left disappointed after the UK supermarket chain spurned a takeover approach earlier this year.
Analysts believe that the final dividend could rise by as much as 12% on last year's figure, compared with the previous year's rise of just 3.5%.
Sainsbury is unlikely to announce plans to hive off the company's freehold property portfolio, which is estimated to be worth between £7.5bn (€14.9bn) and £10bn.
Sainsbury chief executive Justin King will try to placate rebel shareholders this week by revealing that its supermarket estate is worth in the region of £10bn (€14.4bn).
King is expected to reveal the new valuation, which is almost twice the stores' current book value of £5.4bn, at the supermarket's annual results on Wednesday.
Property mogul Robert Tchenguiz and the Qatari royal family have built strategic stakes, in the belief that the retailer is undervalued, and that its properties could be spun off, paving the way for a huge payout to investors.

Our Winter Survival Campaign
for Homeless Kids in the USA and Abroad
Hundreds of homeless children die each winter from
exposure to subzero temperatures in the world's inner cities.
Your donation of just $100 provides one of our survival kits to a
homeless child out in the cold. Saving a life can be that simple!
We're well on our way to our goal of raising $30,000
Please donate now, and help these kids survive!
The sheer number of homeless and forsaken kids today is truly staggering. In some inner cities they number in the tens of thousands. They sleep in train or bus stations, under bridges, in filthy alleys, in the basements of abandoned buildings, and even underground in sewers. These kids suffer from exposure to extreme subzero temperatures during the winter months. Every year, local authorities find young children frozen to death. Many of them are under 10 years old.
We supply survival kits to street kids who are out in the cold. Your donation of just $100 provides one of these survival kits to a homeless child. See what's in our survival kits below.
Donate a survival kit now, or even better get a group together at school, at college, or at work, and provide 5, 10, or more kits to those unfortunate kids who are out in the cold.
You can also donate using PayPal
What's in our survival kits for street kids
We are making great use of the amazing, patented OMNI-HEAT® reflective fabric produced by the Columbia Sportswear Company of Portland, Oregon. This remarkable material is used in the manufacture of the weather-proof jackets, mittens, and sleeping bags we supply to street kids out in the cold. The highly breathable fabric's lining is embedded with small, shiny dots that reflect the kids' body heat back onto them, similar to the shiny interior of a Thermos flask.

Paul Georgy serves as president/CEO of Allendale, Inc., a worldwide agricultural advisory and research firm that provides agricultural commodity price research and risk management alternatives for producers, major food companies, international corporations, foreign governments, and major news vendors.
Good Morning! Paul Georgy with the early morning commentary for December 2, 2016.
Grain markets are higher on position evening as traders mull recent demand data. This mornings employment data will be watched closely by outside markets for its potential dollar and interest rate impact.
USDA's October soybean crush was reported at 175.9 million bushels late yesterday, just above the 175.4 analyst estimate. This represents a pace of 3.4% over last year, ahead of USDA's goal of 2.3%.
Weekly export sales covering sales from November 18 through Thursday the 24th were out yesterday. Corn sales totaled 761,575 metric tonnes (all 2016/17 crop). That was under the 900,000 - 1,200,000 estimate. We must also point out this was the lowest weekly corn sale in nine weeks.
Soybean sales of 1,464,998 metric tonnes (all but 66,000 were 2016/17) were just above trade estimates of 1,000,000 - 1,400,000. Current sales now total 75% of USDA's whole-year goal of 2.050 billion bushels, over the five year average of 72% by this week.
Wheat export sales totaled 490,467 metric tonnes (all but 7,000 2016/17). This was within the 300,000 - 500,000 trade expectation. Sales so far total 72% of USDA's whole-year goal of 975 million bushels. That is over the 70% five year average by this point.
Brazil's Trade Ministry reported November corn exports at 961,433 tonnes vs 1,101,854 tonnes in October. Soybean exports were reported at 316,094 tonnes in November vs. October's 1,000,000.
Egyptian wheat reserves are estimated to be sufficient for about four months according to the countries supply minister. The minister went on to say that they would hope to increase the reserve to last about six months.
Australian grain traders are estimating a 31 to 32 million tonne potential wheat crop, high than the 28.3 that USDA is currently estimating. It would also be a new record, surpassing the 29.905 posted in 2010.
Funds were estimated to have been net sellers on Thursday of 14,000 corn contracts, 5,000 soybeans, 6,000 wheat and 4,000 soymeal. They were net buyers of 7,000 soyoil.
Employment will be the focus of macro traders this morning with Nonfarm Payrolls and Unemployment Rate among the data released this morning at 7:30 AM CT. Positive numbers from those reports will almost certainly signal an interest rate hike at the next Federal Reserve meeting the 13th and 14th of this month.

Building Adolescent Social Intelligence With a Dance
Physical Education
Final Research Paper Outline
Adolescents in high school benefit from the planning and execution of a social event such as a dance or party physically, emotionally, and developmentally.
The high school students should help organize and throw a party for themselves.
The party should involve school staff, parents, and adult members of the community.
The planning of and the participation in dance/party combines many skills that adolescents need to develop into healthy adolescents and later into healthy adults.

III. Parties and Friends
A. The dance is an ideal activity to practice the skills it takes to make friends.
B. Students may not fully understand the meaning of the skills to make friends in all parts of their lives as well as in their futures.

Conclusion: The kids should participate in planning the dance/party and they should participate in the dance. The party is good for the kids because they practice social skills, expand their socialization experiences, and build friendships. All of these activities are good for the kids' physical and emotional health & intelligence. Social activities like this parties help all kids whether general education or special education, whether native speaker or ESL student. With the presence, supervision, guidance, and moderate participation of adults that are school staff, parents, and other community members, the party connections the teens to each other, the teens to the adults, and everyone to the physical space/community where the planning and party took place.
Final Research Paper
As stated in the research proposal, socialization is a key part of personal and professional success in the 21st century. The adolescent period especially can be influential with regard to an individual's social development and social intelligence. People who develop healthy social behaviors during adolescence & early adulthood practice and refine them as adults. Effective and meaningful socialization does not occur purely by accident; there is an art, skill, and a science to socialization. The students, in conjunction with school staff, parents, and other adult members of the community should organize and participate in a social event, such as dance or party. Such an event will strengthen the school, the community, and the students. Social activities have the potential to be potent learning/educational experiences while still being a leisure activity. The paper will explain the many benefits of a properly organized party for the students that requires their involvement at all stages of the dance. The party gives the high school students opportunities to practice and hone skills that will improve their self-esteem, self-confidence, individual identity, social intelligence, and social reality construction. Adolescents in high school benefit from the planning and execution of a social event such as a dance or party physically, emotionally, and developmentally.
Adolescence is a stage in human development. While adolescents are a special group of humans, when considering their development, we should consider how the party or any activity affects their overall development as humans. Humans use social activities such as parties and dances that assist in the construction and comprehension of social reality. Students that participate in the dance will gain skills in socializing and the gain skills in how to grapple with social reality. Understanding that there is a social reality is a critical skill that adolescents need as they move into adulthood. They should also be prepared in how to interpret and extrapolate meaning from social reality because they will need to navigate it. Social reality for adolescents as well as for adults is tough territory to navigate through and to survive.
…humans are understood by examining the mentalistic symbols, meanings and values of the social realities they construct…adolescents fashion these social realities by observing social phenomena and engaging in symbolic discourses within the context of socializing agents…adolescents create or become aware of meanings as they observe and interpret events in the social environment…or interact with others in social settings, (for example, with peers.) (Peterson & Peters, 1983,-Page 68)
The party is an interactive model by which student engage social reality. For many adults, high school is extremely formative. Adults also claim that in a number of social situation with other adults, the social scene and interactions closely resemble those experience during high school. The dance is an actual experience as well as a symbol to which students will refer in the future with or without their conscious awareness. The dance is a social environment after which many others in their adult lives will be patterned. Therefore the dance is a useful model and experience of the adolescent social environment.
The party/dance is a chance for fun and celebration, as well as learning. If planned and executed with consideration and research, the party will reinforce many of the components upon which professionals agree are key to healthy development of adolescents.
Scholars at research and policy centers, on national committees, in the government, at foundations, and in youth programs have reached general consensus on what constitutes healthy development. Lerner, Fisher, and Weinberg (2000) summarize the ingredients into the "five C's" (p. 15). These positive attributes encompass: competence in academic, social, and vocational areas; confidence or a positive self-identity; connection or healthy relations to community, family and peers; character or positive values, integrity, moral commitment; and caring and compassion. (Roth et al., 2000,-Page 3)
The planning stage of the party would contribute to competence in academics, social skills, and vocational areas such as construction, decoration, organization, and leadership/management. The students who assist in the planning will definitely have a strong sense of confidence and accomplishment when they see how their work is enjoyed by their peers and community. All the students and adults involved will feel a connection to each other, to the school, and to the community. Strong interpersonal connections are another sign of healthy development and a result of the proposed dance. The students will build their personal characters as well as learn about their characters. Self-exploration is a normal aspect of adolescence. When a person dedicated him/herself to a specific task to complete over time, such as a leisure event, that person knowingly or not is engaging in a way to learn more about him/herself. We often learn a lot about ourselves in the goals we set, the experiences we have as we try to accomplish the goals, and in the reception of our actions by others. The party is a fine opportunity to build all five of the C's of positive attributes and healthy adolescent development clearly and directly.
During the planning stages and participation stages of the party, the adolescents/high school students will have many opportunities to make friends and to deepen friendships. The creation and sustainment of friendships is a beneficial aspect of adolescent development and health. Friends serve many purposes that are ultimately positive for adolescents while they are young and as they develop into adults.
Cross-sectional comparisons show that, first, children who have friends are more socially competent and less troubled than children who do not; they are more sociable, cooperative, altruistic, self-confident, and less lonely…Making new friends predicts gains in school performance…Having friends thus seems to contribute specifically to affective outcomes across normative school transitions. (Hardup, 1996,-Page 4)
While the students plan the party they will work in groups based on what part of the planning in which they are involved. Students who are not friends will have the chance to socialize with students new to them as well as ones with which they are already familiar. The actual dance itself is a huge opportunity for all of the students, whether they are in advance placement or special education, to interact and…[continue]

The trainer will then focus on the steps to be taken to develop new skills.

Many foreign trainers make grave errors
Thus, we assume that children gifted in the arts are every bit as intellectually endowed as those with academic gifts. The relationships among giftedness, talent development, and creativity are challenging areas of research. Because researchers lack consensus about what constitutes creativity itself, progress in developing operational definitions of "creativity" has been slow (Clark & Zimmerman, 1992-page 344; Csikzentmihalyi, 1996; Hunsaker & Callahan, 1995-page 2).
