A rosary, a smartphone, marshmallows. These are some of the items refugees fleeing conflict in Syria and Afghanistan managed to carry as they sought a new home in Europe.
The International Rescue Committee asked a mother, a teenager, a child, a family of 30, a pharmacist and an artist what they had brought across the Mediterranean.
Refugees have to travel light and are often forced to jettison their meagre belongings during the sea crossing as fragile ships, already overloaded by smugglers, begin sinking. Many have little left when they finally reach Europe.
A mother
Name: Aboessa*
Age: 20
From: Damascus, Syria
Hat for the baby
An assortment of medication, a bottle of sterile water, and a jar of baby food
A small supply of napkins for diaper changes
A hat and a pair of socks for the baby
Assortment of pain relievers, sunscreen and sunburn ointment, toothpaste
Personal documents (including the baby's vaccination history)
Wallet (with photo ID and money)
Cell phone charger
Yellow headband
When vicious fighting erupted in Yarmouk, an unofficial camp for Palestinians just south of the Syrian capital, Aboessa managed to escape with her husband and their 10-month-old daughter, Doua. After crossing the border to Turkey, they spent one week sheltering in another forlorn camp before jumping into a rubber raft bound for the safe shores of Europe.
The Turkish police patrolling the coast stopped them and detached the boat's motor in order to force them to turn back, but the refugees kept going, steering the boat through the sea's strong currents with makeshift paddles.
"Everything is for my daughter to protect her against sickness. When we arrived in Greece, a kind man gave me two jars of food. Another man gave us biscuits and water when he saw my baby."
A child
Name: Omran*
Age: 6
From: Damascus, Syria
1 pair of pants, 1 shirt
A syringe for emergencies
Marshmallows and sweet cream (Omran's favorite snacks)
Soap, toothbrush and toothpaste
Little Omran, sporting a cheerful blue shirt, is on his way to Germany with his extended family of five to live with relatives. Because his parents knew they would travel through forests to avoid detection, they made sure to pack bandages for scrapes and cuts.
A teenager
Name: Iqbal*
Age: 17
From: Kunduz, Afghanistan
1 pair of pants, 1 shirt, 1 pair of shoes and 1 pair of socks
Shampoo and hair gel, toothbrush and toothpaste, face whitening cream
Comb, nail clipper
100 U.S. dollars
130 Turkish liras
Smart phone and back-up cell phone
SIM cards for Afghanistan, Iran and Turkey
Iqbal dragged his weary body out of the boat with only a backpack. The teenager had traveled hundreds of miles and dodged bullets to escape from the warring province of Kunduz in northern Afghanistan, fleeing east to Iran, then traveling by foot to Turkey. Now in Lesbos, he's uncertain of where to go next. He has kept in touch with a friend who already made the journey to Germany. He has a brother studying in Florida.
"I want my skin to be white and hair to be spiked — I don't want them to know I'm a refugee. I think that someone will spot me and call the police because I'm illegal."
A pharmacist
Name: Anonymous
Age: 34
From: Syria
Money (wrapped to protect it from water)
Old phone (wet and unusable) and new smart phone
Phone chargers and headphones (plus extra battery charger)
16GB flash drive (containing family photos)
When war broke out in Syria, the pharmacist's father would recall fond memories of Germany, where he lived for eight years while practicing medicine there. The pharmacist wanted a similar life of peace and hope. He fled with his family to Turkey, where he met a smuggler who arranged his trip to Europe.
With one bag strapped across his chest, the pharmacist climbed into an overcrowded dinghy with 53 others, including a handful of young children. Miraculously, the group made the crossing safely until, near the shores of Greece, they were met by the coast guard, shouting at them to stop the boat. You can read more of the pharmacist's story here.
"We didn't realize it was the police. We were told by friends not to stop because they will take you back to Turkey. We didn't know the Greek language. We couldn't understand what they were saying. We held the children. I thought to myself, 'Let me reach the beach and anything you say I will do.'"
An artist
Name: Nour*
Age: 20
From: Syria
Small bag of personal documents
A rosary (gift from his friend; Nour doesn't let it touch the floor)
A watch (from his girlfriend; it broke during the journey)
Syrian flag, Palestinian charm, silver and wooden bracelets (gifts from friends)
Guitar picks (one also a gift from a friend)
Cell phone and Syrian SIM card
Photo ID
1 shirt
Nour has a passion for music and art. He played guitar in Syria for seven years and painted. As bombs and gunfire echoed in the distance, Nour grabbed the items closest to his heart before leaving for Turkey — things that today evoke bittersweet memories of home.
"I left Syria with two bags, but the smugglers told me I could only take one. The other bag had all of my clothes. This is all I have left."
A family
From: Aleppo, Syria
1 shirt, 1 pair of jeans
1 pair of shoes
1 diaper, 2 small cartons of milk and some biscuits
Personal documents and money
Sanitary pads
A comb
This family lost everything. When they left Syria, each member took one to two bags. During the course of the journey to Turkey and then Greece, their boat began to sink. There were seven women, four men and 20 children. They managed to salvage just one bag among them.
"I hope we die. This life is not worth to live anymore. Everyone closed the door in our face, there is no future."
Name: Hassan*
Age: 25
From: Syria
"This is all I have. They told us we could only bring two things, one extra shirt and pants."

Eligibility Criteria
Male or female participants at least 18 years old.
Inclusion Criteria: 1. Absence of HIV-1/HIV-2 infection as documented by a licensed ELISA test kit within 21 days prior to study entry. 2. Male or female subjects, aged ≥ 18 and ≤ 60 years 3. Weight ≥50 kg and a Body Mass Index ([BMI], weight in kg divided by the square of height in meters) ≥18.0 and ≤ 35.0 kg/m2. Refer to Appendix I. 4. Informed Consent Form (ICF) signed voluntarily before the first trial-related activity. 5. Able to comply with protocol requirements. 6. Healthy on the basis of a medical evaluation that reveals the absence of any clinically relevant abnormality and includes a physical examination, medical history, vital signs, and the results of blood tests and a urinalysis carried out at screening. Exclusion Criteria: 1. History or evidence of current use of alcohol, barbiturate, amphetamine, recreational or narcotic drug use, which in the investigator's opinion would compromise subject's safety and/or compliance with the trial procedures. 2. Currently active significant gastrointestinal, cardiovascular, neurologic, psychiatric, metabolic, renal, hepatic, respiratory, inflammatory, or infectious disease, that in the opinion of the investigator would represent a contraindication to study enrollment. 3. Creatinine clearance of ≤ 60mL/min. 4. Currently significant diarrhea, gastric stasis, or constipation that in the investigator's opinion could influence drug absorption or bioavailability. 5. eruptions, drug allergies, food allergy, dermatitis, eczema, psoriasis, or urticaria, that in the opinion of the investigator would represent a contraindication to study enrollment. 6. Previously demonstrated clinically significant allergy or hypersensitivity to any of the excipients of the medications administered in the trial. 7. History of significant drug allergy such as, but not limited to, sulphonamides and penicillins. Prezista is a sulphonamide. The potential for cross-sensitivity between drugs in the sulphonamide class and Prezista in HIV-negative subjects is unknown. 8. Use of concomitant medication, including investigational, prescription, and over-the-counter products and dietary supplements with the following exceptions: aspirin, acetaminophen, anti-histamines such as diphenhydramine, inhalers for asthma, daily multivitamins, mineral supplements and hormonal oral contraceptives. Concomitant medication other than those listed above must have been discontinued at least 7 days before study entry. 9. Female subjects of childbearing potential without use of effective nonhormonal birth control methods, or not willing to continue practicing these birth control methods for at least 30 days after the end of the treatment period; Note: Estrogen-based hormonal contraception may not be reliable when taking Prezista, therefore to be eligible for this trial, women of childbearing potential should either: - use a double barrier method to prevent pregnancy (i.e., using a condom with either diaphragm or cervical cap); - use non-estrogen hormonal based contraceptives in combination with a barrier contraceptive (i.e., male condom, diaphragm or cervical cap, or female condom); - use a intrauterine device in combination with a barrier contraceptive (i.e., male condom, diaphragm or cervical cap, or female condom); - be not sexually active, or have a vasectomized partner (confirmed sterile). Women with tubal ligation are required to use one non-hormonal contraceptive method. Women who are postmenopausal for at least 2 years, and women with total hysterectomy are considered of non-childbearing potential. 10. A positive pregnancy test or breast feeding at screening. 11. Participation in an investigational drug trial within 90 days prior to the first intake of trial medication. 12. Donation of blood or plasma within 60 days preceding the first trial-related blood drawing. 13. Subjects with the following laboratory abnormalities at screening as defined by the Division of AIDS Table for Grading the Severity of Adult and Pediatric Adverse Events ("DAIDS grading table") and in accordance with the normal ranges of the trial clinical laboratory: - serum creatinine grade 1 or greater (≥ 1.1 x upper limit of laboratory normal range [ULN]); - lipase or pancreatic amylase grade 1 or greater (≥ 1.1 x ULN); - hemoglobin grade 1 or greater (≤ 10.9 g/dL) - platelet count grade 1 or greater (≤ 124.999 x 109/L); - absolute neutrophil count grade 1 or greater (≤ 1.3 x 109/L); - aspartate aminotransferase (AST) or alanine aminotransferase (ALT) grade 1 or greater (≥ 1.25 x ULN); - total bilirubin grade 1 or greater (≥ 1.1 x ULN), - any other laboratory abnormality of grade 2 or above

"I consider myself convicted by the testimony of Holy Scripture, which is my basis; my conscience is captive to the Word of God." -Martin Luther
Thursday, March 24, 2005
A new commandment I give you, that you love one another; as I have loved you, that you love one another. --John 13:34 NKJV
Today is Maundy Thursday, the beginning of the liturgical commemoration of our Lord's Passion.
Most of us who have grown up in the Lutheran tradition associate this day most of all with the institution of the Lord's Supper, and Christ's gift of His very body and blood in, with, and under simple bread and wine as His personal assurance to each of us, individually, that our sins are forgiven; as a way to live in us, so that we might live in Him. Lovers do not encounter each other so intimately as our Lord encounters the least sanctified of those who belong to Him in this Sacrament. He actually becomes part of us, and incorporates us anew into Himself. Through His sacramental body and blood, Christ nourishes and sustains His body, the Church.
But this day actually takes its name from the passage above, John 13:34. "Maundy" comes from the Latin word mandamus, meaning "commandment." In the next few days, Christians will assemble to hear once again the story of the greatest love of all: Christ's love for the human race, that led Him to the cross that whoever believes in Him should live forever (John 3:16).

Pinterest Tips
3 Mistakes You Should Never Make on Social Media
Sharing responsibly on social media is not an option, it's a MUST. And unless you want someone to eventually take legal action against you, you better know the rules!
You are setting an example for your team, your friends, and everyone around you.
So what are the 3 biggest mistakes people are making on Social Media?
You cannot take someone else's graphic and change the link to direct people to YOUR website instead of THEIRS. If someone took the time out of their day (and the money out of their pocket) to create a graphic of their product, YOU have no right to that picture.
Under NO CIRCUMSTANCES are you allowed to take that really awesome graphic and change the link. Let me repeat that…YOU CANNOT CHANGE THE LINK on someone else's graphic!
Pinterest is a place for ORIGINAL content. Not a place to claim someone else's original content for your own. Did you know it's actually illegal?! If I post a picture of my product on Pinterest, it is legally my "intellectual property". And you are bound by Pinterest to adhere to that rule.
Now, I will say, if you are a direct sales consultant, many companies allow you to take HOME OFFICE graphics and change the links to yours. But this does NOT apply to other people's graphics you happen to like.
You have 2 options:
REPIN IT: Sure, you can repin it. But why would you want to? Why would you want to have a really cool graphic that leads your customers to someone else's site? My opinion…don't do it.
Create your own: Save the graphic to a secret board and then recreate the same idea with your own product. And BAM! Now YOU have a great graphic to share on Pinterest!
We all have product in our closet. Take that product out once a week and work on one room in your house, or one "theme". 20 minutes is all it takes to stage some product and take some pictures with your phone. It's really that easy. And then make sure you watermark so no one WANTS to take your picture to begin with! A watermark is as simple as putting your name and business information as "text" onto the graphic. This can easily be done on Canva or even apps on your phone like Word Swag.
Are you THAT girl?
The one that has a million posts from other people and maybe even changed their links?
Want to know where to start?
Honestly, you need to go delete those boards if you have no original posts in there. Just START OVER!
If you have a bunch of pins from other people and didn't change the link: you're leading your customers to other people's pages and that is NOT what you want to do. You don't want to lead people away from your website to someone else's website to order.
If you have a bunch of pins and illegally changed the link to direct them to your site: delete every single one of them. And then recreate your own. And brand your images before you upload them.
Now let's talk about Instagram. You are not permitted to take someone else's graphic and: take a snapshot, crop it, and share it. UNLESS you tag them and give them credit for the photo.
You actually have to tag their Instagram account so people are linked back to the original creator of the photo.
People take time on their social media posts. It is NOT okay to take their post and claim it as your own.
You have 2 options:
Crop and tag: Snap a picture of the post, crop it, repost, and add "Photo Credit @TheirNameGoesHere".
You actually have to tag their Instagram account so people are linked back to the original creator of the photo.
Use a reposting app: Use an app like "Repost" where you copy the link to their post, paste it into the app, and then it tags them in the photo for you.
And last but not least, let's talk Twitter. Again, you cannot take someone's post and make it your own. Twitter makes it very easy to share someone else's content. And it's actually a "high five" and pat on the back when you do.
You have 3 options:
Retweet: You can retweet their original post and it will show up on your timeline, giving credit to the original author or creator.
You can share something and TAG that person's Twitter handle (@theirtwitteraccount)
You can copy a URL directly from the post you want to share and link them back to the original creator's content. This is mostly for websites and blogs, things of that nature.
Really, the moral of the story is to create your own content. Taking someone else's content does nothing for your business in the long run. You have to learn how to be creative and get your own posts out there!
UPDATE TO A QUESTION: If the original creator of the photo gives you PERMISSION to share that photo, then yes, you can share it. But you also need to make sure THEY are the original creator of that photo-and not just sharing it from someone else in the first place!
You have to research.
Find someone who inspires you and learn how to do it yourself!
Happy Sharing,
Melissa Fietsam

Group boards on Pinterest allow you to network with other consultants. So let's say you have a friend who sells Pampered Chef. And YOU sell Thirty-One Gifts. Create a board for "Organizing your kitchen" and both of you add pins related to that board. Now all of HER customers see your pins, and all of YOUR customers see her pins.
You can do this with EVERY company out there:
~Scentsy and Thirty-One bathroom makeover
~Mary Kay and Thirty-One makeup ideas
~Clever container and Thirty-One closet organization
~Posh and Thirty-One travel must haves
The list of possibilities is truly endless
Here's how to do that:
2. Link to other Social Media Sites:
You can use Pinterest to increase traffic to your other social media sites.
Post something on your business page and link people to your Facebook Business Page.
Post something on Instagram and link them to your Instagram profile.
Post something on Twitter and link them to your Twitter profile.
By doing this, you're utilizing the traffic on Pinterest to increase your social presence on EVERY social media site!
Here's an example:
Would you like more tips like these on a daily basis?
3. Link your YouTube Videos:
If you are making videos on YouTube, you better be sharing those on Pinterest! Pinterest rates videos as "rich pins" which means they rank higher in search options. So if you're making product videos or business idea demos, those need to go on Pinterest! Graphics are great, but guess what? Videos are BETTER!
Check out this example:
Happy Pinning!!

Zara has done it again ladies and gents!! If you've been a reader for a while you probably know that Zara is one of my favourite store. I was never a big fan of cut out dresses because i found they fit funny around my waist, it was usually too loose around the stomach area and it just looked retarded. Don't get me wrong though i think they are absolutely stunning and I was really sad when I had not luck with them; until of course i came across this one from Zara. It fits like a glove and the colour is striking (which is also a very me colour). I kept it simple by pairing it with black and gold accessories and a touch of purple lipstick.

Dark mahogany brown leather/tapestry wallet. No brand or country of origin on this one. This appears to be full grain leather, but I'll need to do a little testing to be sure.

In front of that, there's a fold-out wallet with an ID pocket and three credit card size pockets on the front, two more full length currency pockets underneath, The other side features a full length top zippered compartment.

2015 Kia Sedona
Minivan breaks out of the box
By Nina Russin
Sometimes the best way to increase sales in a shrinking market segment is by redefining it. Kia's strategy with its all-new Sedona minivan is just that: combining crossover-like styling with new connectivity features to give its family-friendly car twenty-first century appeal.
Kia is one of a handful of players who continue to produce minivans, competing against Toyota, Honda and Chrysler. While its competitors continue to play it safe with tried-and-true features such as foldaway seating and giant center console bins, the Korean automaker is sacrificing a bit of practicality for some much needed sex appeal.
Design guru Peter Schreyer penned the exterior, with a more pronounced front end and grille that bears striking resemblance to the mid-sized Sorento crossover. A taller beltline results in a narrower greenhouse, but gives the Sedona some shoulders and a more interesting profile. A roof-mounted spoiler and aggressive rear fascia frame the wrap-around tail lamps, preventing the slab sided appearance that plagues many members of the genre.
Inside, the Sedona seats up to eight passengers. Optional lounge seats in the second row rival living room furniture for comfort, while an available dual-pane sunroof adds a welcome dose of ambient light. The newest version of Kia's UVO infotainment system developed in conjunction with Microsoft adds new services such as geo-fencing and curfew alerts for younger drivers as well as a host of new apps under the Kia App Store umbrella.

2016 Kia Sorento
Kia debuts the newest version of its best-selling crossover
By Nina Russin
There are few places on the planet more beautiful than Lake Tahoe. The second deepest lake in the United States straddles the Nevada/California border, surrounded by the majestic Sierra Nevada Mountains. Kia chose Tahoe as the location for the 2016 Sorento media preview to send home the message that its popular midsized crossover is a car for all seasons and lifestyles.
Available in five trim levels with front or all-wheel drive and a choice of three engines, the Sorento competes against a wide range of products, from the Toyota Highlander to the Jeep Grand Cherokee. Buyers can choose two or three-row versions seating five-to-seven passengers.
Inspiration for the exterior redesign was the Kia Cross GT concept that debuted at the 2013 Chicago Auto Show. Inside, designers incorporated luxury finishes from Kia's K900 full-sized sedan the newest version of UVO infotainment, available Nappa leather and dual-pane panoramic sunroof.
A new two-liter turbo engine is the same block used in the Hyundai Santa Fe Sport and Kia Optima but tuned for this platform. To keep the weight down, product planners limited the turbo block to five-passenger cars.
Base price for the new Sorento that rolls out in January is $24,900 for the front-wheel drive L grade. The upscale SX-L V-6 all-wheel drive starts at $41,300. All-wheel drive is an $1800 option. Read the rest of this entry »
2015 Kia K900
High-luxury sedan focuses on value
By Nina Russin
I have driven the K900, Kia's first vehicle entry into the high-luxury segment, to the coffee shop where I meet friends for breakfast. As I usher the sedan into its parking spot, I can see their noses pasted up against the front window of the restaurant.
"What's that"? is the first question I hear as I walk through the door.
"The Kia K900,? I reply. "It's Kia's answer to the S-Class."
"That's a Kia?" my buddy Jeff remarks. "That's a sharp looking car."
"It's huge," adds Big Ed, who likes everything in his life to be, well, big. "That thing's bigger than my Mercedes." And with that they're out the door.
"Check this out," chimes Jeff as he opens the back door and slides into the back seat. "Man, there's tons of room back here."
"Enough for you and your bicycle," I reply.
Ed is still comparing the K900 to his Mercedes-Benz CLS.
"A Kia," he says. "Huh."
The jury's still out as to whether Kia will be able to lure current German luxury car owners away from their current vehicles. But there is no doubt that Kia's full-sized luxury sedan can compete on every level: style, comfort and most important, performance.
Despite being a luxury car, the K900 still speaks to the brand's core philosophy of great value. Although its $59,500 base price is by no means inexpensive, it is significantly lower than the Mercedes S-Class, Audi A8 and BMW 7 Series the K900 competes against.
A VIP option package on the test car adds adaptive cruise control, thin-film-transistor instrument cluster, heads-up display, surround-view monitor, power headrests, power reclining rear seats, ventilated rear seats and rear seat lumbar support. Final MSRP, including the $900 delivery charge is $66,400. Read the rest of this entry »
2015 Kia Soul EV
Versatile crossover gets a new green variant
By Nina Russin
Although the Soul was launched in 2009 as a competitor to the Scion xB and Nissan Cube, Kia's compact crossover has taken on a life of its own, eclipsing its direct competitors. While the Nissan and Scion were both adaptations of Japan market cars, the Soul was designed in Kia's Orange County, California studio for American drivers. Its youthful styling and peppy performance have built a loyal following for the Soul, now in its second generation.
Following on the launch of an all-new model last year, Kia is rolling out the Soul EV. Power comes from a 109 horsepower electric motor with a rechargeable 360-volt lithium-ion battery pack packaged under the floor. Pricing for the base model begins at $33,700, while the Soul EV Plus starts at $35,700. The rollout for both grades begins in Southern California with a 36-month lease plan.
Kia expects the Soul to be cross-shopped against the Nissan Leaf, Ford Focus Electric, Volkswagen eGolf and Fiat 500e. With its unique styling, surprisingly spacious cargo bay and 93-mile driving range, the newest Soul should give those cars a run for the money. Read the rest of this entry »
First Drive: 2015 Kia Sedona SXL
Style makes it different
By Nina Russin
There's no doubt that minivans are one of the most practical car choices for growing families. The reason car companies don't sell more of them is the stigma attached, primarily because of styling. Kia is addressing this issue in its third-generation Sedona with a sexy exterior penned by the very talented Peter Schreyer that should make car shoppers take a second look.
Schreyer adapted the wide, sweeping shoulders and aggressive grille of a crossover, making the Sedona look sportier and more purposeful. Inside, a driver-centric interior features a center console-mounted gearshift lever and high tech instrument panel that includes the most recent iteration of Kia's UVO infotainment system, co-developed with Microsoft.
On the flip side, product planners remembered to focus on versatility, with new seating configurations that include a Slide-N-Stow function for second-row seating and third-row seats that fold into the floor. Buyers of the upscale SXL grade can opt for first class lounge seating: think Barcaloungers in the second row, only much more stylish. Read the rest of this entry »
2015 Kia K900
Full-sized high luxury sedan
By Nina Russin
Kia's success story has been built on big risks. The brand that came to the US twenty years ago with two niche vehicles and a loss leader pricing strategy has evolved into one of the fastest growing OEMs in North America.
The Cadenza sedan that rolled out last spring moved Kia into the premium segment. The all-new K900 takes the upwardly mobile product strategy a step further, competing head to head with the BMW 7-Series, Audi A8 and Mercedes-Benz S Class.
While naysayers might question the automaker's wisdom introducing a $60,000 sedan in what remains a shaky economy, one needs to look at the global picture. The K900 is also sold in Korea as the K9 as well as China, where the demand for luxury goods continues to grow at a healthy rate.
From a marketing standpoint, the K900 builds on the image makeover that began with the current Optima. Kia is no longer a value brand, although its products continue to offer buyers more content than most of their competitors.
With the addition of its new Orange County, California design studio, Kia has emerged as a leader in the area of automotive styling. Continued collaboration with Microsoft has made the brand's UVO infotainment system one of the best connectivity technologies in the industry. Read the rest of this entry »
2014 Kia Soul Plus
Compact crossover gains in style and performance
By Nina Russin
This year, Kia introduces the second-generation Soul compact crossover: the first major redesign since the car was introduced in 2009. The original Soul was one of several box-shaped vehicles aimed towards young urbanites needing interior versatility.
The new Soul builds on the original theme, with a slightly larger interior, more nuanced styling and upgraded powertrains. Kia expects the midlevel Plus trim to be the volume leader, priced from $18,200.
The Soul's spacious interior and fold-flat second-row seats make it a good option for buyers with active lifestyles. The 2014 model won our Active Lifestyle Vehicle of the Year award in the urban category.
An audio package on the test car adds navigation, automatic climate control, and an Infinity sound system with speaker lights ($1400). Other options include a premium package with a panoramic sunroof, push button start, leather seating, power driver's seat, heated and ventilated front seats ($3000), UVO infotainment system with rearview camera display ($500) and carpeted floor mats ($115). Together with the $795 destination charge, final MSRP is $24,010. Read the rest of this entry »
2014 Kia Cadenza
New sedan proves luxury and value aren't mutually exclusive
By Nina Russin
Building on the success of its midsized Optima, Kia introduces the full-sized Cadenza premium sedan. Although the Cadenza is not Kia's first foray into large sedan territory, following on the heels of the 2009 Amanti, it is the brand's first serious contender in the segment. Not only does it hold its own against luxury brands such as Lexus, Audi and Infiniti, it blows the doors off comparably priced premium models.
With styling by ace designer, Peter Schreyer, the Cadenza is a sexy, powerful ride. The base model starts at $35,100 excluding the $800 destination charge. Two options on the test car, a luxury package and technology group, bring the final MSRP to $41,900.
Power comes from a 293-horsepower direct injection V-6 engine and six-speed automatic transmission with manual gear selection. The engine's 255 foot-pounds of torque give the Cadenza excellent acceleration off the line and in the 20-50 mile-per-hour range drivers use merging into high-speed traffic.
Standard convenience features include keyless entry and start, dual-zone climate control, Infinity surround-sound audio system, navigation, Bluetooth interface, rearview camera, leather upholstery, UVO telematics, satellite radio and more. Read the rest of this entry »
2014 Kia Soul
Compact crossover gets a Makeover
By Nina Russin
I'm not sure how I feel about the skinny hamsters in Kia's newest spot for the 2014 Soul compact crossover. The hamsters' transformation from T-shirt clad hipsters to red carpet-ready studs is a metaphor for the Soul's evolution into a much more sophisticated car.
But I've always had the feeling that a chubby hamster is a healthy hamster: ready for a winter when food on the ground is less plentiful. And the effort of marketing gurus to portray their product as a more evolved vehicle shouldn't negate the youthful spirit essential to the original model's success.
There is no doubt that the newest Soul is a great package, with more resolved styling and a solid powertrain featuring two direct injection engines. Value continues to drive the product strategy, with the base model starting at $14,700.
Unlike the Scion xB that grew larger in its second iteration, the 2014 Soul maintains much the same footprint as its predecessor. It's about an inch longer, slightly wider and lower.
Engineers contained curb weight to about 2800 pounds, and enhanced torsional rigidity by using ultra high strength steel in key areas of the chassis, increasing stiffness 28.7 percent over the former model.
The newest Soul will also be Kia's entry into the growing electric car segment. Details on that model come at a later date. Read the rest of this entry »
2014 Kia Sorento SX FWD
Seven-passenger crossover gets mid-cycle refresh
By Nina Russin
The first Kia Sorento was a midsized four-wheel drive sport-utility vehicle that expanded on the capabilities of the compact Sportage. Kia had developed a reputation for off-road prowess early on when Darren Skilton drove the Sportage on the 10,000-mile Paris-Dakar rally and finished the race.
In 2011, Kia introduced a completely new Sorento, which would be the first car produced at its West Point, Georgia assembly plant. Unlike the original Sorento, the 2011 model was a unibody crossover, intended primarily for on-road use. While the market certainly seemed headed in this direction, making such a drastic change was a calculated risk.
It paid off. Within a year, the plant had moved from one to two shifts to keep up with demand for what had become Kia's best-selling model. It would not be an exaggeration to say that the 2011 Sorento, and the 5000 new jobs it created, put West Point, Georgia, a town that seemed bound for oblivion, back on the map.
Product planners describe the 2014 Sorento as a new model, but it's actually a major refresh of the 2011 car. Unlike Hyundai, that separates the five and seven passenger versions of its midsized crossover into the Santa Fe Sport and Santa Fe, Kia has kept both under the same umbrella.
The newest Sorento gains the 3.3-liter gasoline direct injection engine also available on the seven-passenger Hyundai Santa Fe. The 2.4-liter engine becomes the Sorento's base block, with the two-liter version no longer available. Read the rest of this entry »

Gillette Asks "Is Stubble Killing the Kiss?" On Wednesday Night At The Houston Pavilions
With the beard and moustaches craze currently dominating the faces of men all over the country, it's natural that companies who have a vested interest in men being clean shaven have some work to do.
That's why the good people at Gillette are going to be in town today at the Houston Pavilions to spread the gospel that women prefer a shorn face to a scruffy one.
REWIND: We Moustache You All a Question: Where Do We Go from Here?
"Research shows that people are kissing less than ever and that 66 percent of women have avoided kissing a guy because he had facial hair," says a heretical press release. "Women prefer the look and feel of a smooth or clean shaven guy; in particular, women in the South like the look of light stubble the least (44 percent) when compared to other regions."

Is this true, ladies? Are us bearded men turning you off so much that kissing is on the decline?
According to Gillette, "stubble could be the trouble."
Tonight at the Houston Pavilions (1211 Caroline), the Gillette people will be holding a promotional event to raise awareness that your moustache is (probably) turning women away from locking lips with you.
Starting at 4 p.m. and running until 10 p.m., couples are asked to arrive at the event with the man sporting an unshaven face. Each couple will conduct an interview and then kiss. Next, the man will shave with a Gillette razor and conduct the interview and kiss all over again.
All this is to see if women will have a different response to that kiss without scruff in the way.
I have heard women from all backgrounds voice differing opinions on facial hair on their dudes, with most women loving a man with scruff, a full lustrous beard, or a well-kept 'stache and beard combo.
Most of the beard-lovers said they would accept scraggly, trimmed or full beards, as long as they were free of food dander.
Gillette is hitting us American slobs where it hurts.

When the Ad:tech advertising technology conference hits New York next week, marketers, advertising agencies and recruiters may spend less time listening to the panelists and more time working the floor to find new employees.
A talent gap is growing between the skills that many new advertising jobs require and the number of people who have those skills. The dilemma is particularly acute for jobs that require hard-core quantitative, mathematical and technical skills.
"There is pain for hiring in digital at all levels," said John Ebbert, managing editor of AdExchanger.com, a Web site dedicated to advertising technology.
"The marketers, the publishers, the ad tech companies, the agencies, data management companies — they're all going for the same type of employee."
"The demand has far outstripped the supply," said Joe Zawadzki, the chief executive of MediaMath, an ad tech company in New York. "The number of things you need to know is high and the number of people knowing it is low."
"For me it was like, 'The world's my oyster here — what do I want to do?' " says Edwin Lee, 40, an economics major at Stanford who has a master's degree in business administration.
Lee describes his new job as account director at MediaMath, which he got in September, as "helping companies and clients make sense of something they don't really understand and they hear a lot about."
With a limited talent pool, many ad tech firms are after the same people.
"Half my job is maintaining a mental Rolodex of people that are at various places," Zawadzki said.

US College Rankings 2017
Humboldt State University is a public university located in Arcata, a college town 275 miles north of San Francisco. The institution is part of California State University's 23-campus system.
Humboldt typically charges considerably lower tuition fees than private universities. For undergraduates starting in the academic year 2016 to 2017, full-time undergraduate tuition was $7,210 a year.
Humboldt State was founded in 1913 as a teacher training college. The university has expanded over the years to cover a range of academic disciplines and has gone by the name Humboldt State University since 1974. Humboldt now has three academic colleges offering 51 undergraduate majors programmes and 12 graduate programmes.
The university has a good reputation for its programmes in natural resources and sciences as well as visual and performing arts. Humboldt is also famous for its commitment to environmental responsibility and this focus is reflected in curriculums across the different academic programmes.
Humboldt State has a number of scientific resources for undergraduates to gain research experience. The university's R.V. Coral Sea is an outdoor classroom and teaching vessel available for students to undertake their own marine research. A state-of-the-art Fire Lab allows students to study forest fires and their properties. Outside the lab, the ancient redwood forest forests that surround the campus are on hand for students to explore and study with experts in sustainable energy systems.
There is a range of activities for students to get involved with outside of their studies, including 180 campus clubs and Greek societies as well as 12 NCAA Division II athletics teams. The campus offers plenty of opportunities to enjoy the great outdoors, with residence halls and apartments just a stone's throw from a 2,500-acre Redwood forest. The wild coastline is also just five miles away from campus, so studying at Humboldt can include surfing and kayaking as well as biking and camping.

The war of words between Raj Thackeray and the state election commission continued on Wednesday, with state election commissioner Neela Satyanarayan telling the MNS chief to challenge her decisions in court, instead of dishonouring her constitutional status by criticising her to the media. "He may please move court if he doesn't like our decisions or policies," she said, calling his ways "unconstitutional."
Her comments come a day after Thackeray, at a press conference, asked whether Satyanarayan would not punish him for code of conduct violation if he tendered an unconditional apology to the SEC. The comment was veiled reference to the body's clean chit to deputy chief minister Ajit Pawar, accused of violating the code for inaugurating a Pune flyover after the poll dates were announced, after he apologised to the commission.
"I decided not to punish Pawar after studying the circumstances. I didn't favour him," Satyanarayan said on Wednesday.
Thackeray and Satyanarayan have been at loggerheads over many issues. It began when the SEC verified an interview of Thackeray's, in which he allegedly made inflammatory remarks. While Thackeray was given a clean chit, he hit out at the commission for being "lenient" with Pawar. He also questioned other SEC decisions.

Current Crisis
A country between tradition and fear.
Yemen, a country known for its mountain ranges and deserts which hinder human life. The problems that exist in the Yemen of today are a result of its historical events including its colonial history, tribal wars and the infamous Arab Spring. The escalation of the conflict in Yemen in March 2015 exacerbated the already-existing problems of poverty, conflict and poor governance. As estimated by UN OCHA, 18.8 million people are in need of assistance or protection in order to meet their basic needs. Included in this figures is an estimated number of 14.4 million people who require assistance to ensure access to safe drinking water and sanitation. As well as this, 14 million people are currently food insecure. These figures illustrate that 50% of the Yemeni population struggle daily to acquire clean water or grow food; as a result of this, 14.7 million Yemenis currently depend on humanitarian aid in order to get basic needs for survival, as stated by The Guardian. Due to its geography as a hot country, Yemen has always experienced water troubles but as the conflict has worsened. Now the country is additionally facing problems of water scarcity and food insecurity. The water issue is aggravated by the country's water pipes which are outdated and it is estimated that 60% of the water is lost through leakages. A growing population and increased water usage and food consumption has further social and economic consequences such as lack of school attendance, poor health rates, unemployment and an increase in conflict. There have been attempts from the national government to improve the situation but most have failed due to the lack of effective enforcement. Further to this, projects implemented by the World Bank for instance have run but are not continuous, thus there is a lack of sustainability for the population of Yemen.
This is why our work in Yemen is important. We have worked in cooperative partnerships with local NGOs in order to restore rainwater cisterns and researched into producing safer drinking water.
Water is a human right.

The Next as-a-Service: SRM
I have been hearing recently that Digital Transformation is not about moving applications to the cloud, but rather moving enterprise IT from an internal Capex-oriented practice to a consumer of IT, self-service Opex model. IT vendors, taking their que from their enterprise customers, are following suit with pay-as-you go acquisition alternatives. Even big-ticket hardware vendors who would normally sell based on a negotiated price are now offering their boxes on an as-a-service basis. It's only natural then that storage resource management (SRM) software would get caught-up in the growing shift to the Opex budget.
The trend started when some forward-looking storage vendors began offering their device management software as a service delivered from the cloud. Two examples:
Nimble Storage's[1] InfoSight—InfoSight collects sensor data from their customers' arrays and applies predictive analytics to resolve issues before they occur. Real time analytics software (VoltDB) runs in the cloud. Both Nimble and their customers can leverage InfoSight to respond immediately to issues relating to array performance and availability, identify future capacity needs and maintain performance levels over time.
Tegile Systems' IntelliCare Cloud Analytics—an analytics-based management tool that monitors capacity usage, configurations, system health and performance using sensory data gathered from Tegile arrays. Proactive alerts warn of impending component failures and out-of-capacity conditions. IntelliCare runs without server-based agents or additional infrastructure. A

This is a great documentary showing the history of plant earth and
human history, from the creation of our planet to the rise of mankind.
Although a two hour documentary could not possibly show every detail of
our history it does a very good job in illustrating the evolution of
earth and humanity.
I would highly recommend this documentary to anyone interested in the facts of science and what we know about the path we have taken to get to the point we are now. It includes the creation of our planet, the rise of life and the human race as well as the onset of religion, agriculture and the modern civilization.
