Rated 5 out of 5 by John610 from Great coffee. Great coffee with a nice flavor. I like it both at home and in the office. Shipping is convenient as it can be difficult to find in the stores. Coffee is bold enough to be satisfying, but not so bold as to be bitter or acidic.

How many ounces is this per single packet once brewed?
I can't tell which ones are for larger cups and which ones are not. RE: Gevalia Colombia Coffee It would be very helpful if you put this yield information on all descriptions. I like to just get online and click on what I need and be done with it instead of having to look up to see if this is the package that has the larger cups or smaller cups.
The information is listed under "Details", which is buried at the bottom of the page. I find the serving size a little misleading though. When they say 11oz, for example, they are recommending a large cup that can hold 11oz. But it does not actually brew 11oz -- I have measured many of the 11oz brews in a measuring cup and they usually brew around 8.5 fl oz.

Is there a disc available to add my own coffee?
There is no empty T-Disc that would allow you to brew your own coffee. Because Tassimo uses the barcode on the label for brewing instructions, it would be almost impossible to create an empty cartridge you could fill at home since you would need to generate that barcode for brewing instructions. Single-serve coffee systems are designed to use the pre-packaged coffee module/capsule for the system. A refillable module/capsule is available for a competing single-serve brewing system, but they work poorly. Anyone who has tried it will agree it is a poor solution.

How much caffeine is in per pod?
I am pregnant and can have a certain amount of caffiene per day, and I really need a pick me up. How much caffeine per mg is in each pod?
Thanks for asking. Gevalia Colombian contains 85 mg of caffeine per serving. Have a great day.

Is Gevalia Morning Roast still availale?
In the past, Morning Roast was our favorite. Was it discontinued? Is there a current offering that is "the same"?
Hello, No the Gevalia Moring Roast is available to order online. We're sorry you're having trouble finding your favorite Tassimo beverages - different stores choose to carry different items. However, the widest range of Tassimo selections is available at www.tassimodirect.com.

This painting by Dane Lovett has got me all nostalgic.
Last week we shot some rehearsal footage of our friends, Vancouver-based dance collective OURO, as they prepared for their first full-length show, "Tangent". The group has spent the past year exploring movements from each member's diverse dance background to create a story. Their unique voice is a combination of street and contemporary dance twisted into a language all its own.
For this show they've also collaborated with Vancouver artist Kutcorners to create original music inspired by their movements. You can listen to Tangent on iTunes and it'll be released on Spotify shortly!
We are proud to be a media partner for OURO's two performances this week at Orpheum's Annex theatre (May 25th/26th). If you live in Vancouver come check it out! Their work is fun, accessible and inspiring, regardless of your knowledge of dance. There are only two performances and tickets are going fast (previous shows on Granville Island sold out completely).

Last fall, Patagonia launched a controversial "Vote the Environment" campaign: We encouraged those who love the outdoors and wild places to connect their passions to political action. After the election, people were asking "What can we do now?" Here, and in the next few catalogs, we will address this question from different points of view as we continue to explore what it means to be an environmentalist right now. Look for upcoming essays by Bill McKibben, Theodore Roosevelt IV and Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. And, as always, you can re-read our enviro essays online.
Democracy works best in small, homogeneous societies where everyone has to take responsibility for his or her actions. In the early days of our country and until the end of the 19th century, we had three powerful social forces: the federal government, local government and civil democracy. Of the three, I would argue that civil democracy has been by far the most powerful. Activists were responsible for breaking away from Britain in the first place. Civil democracy, funded by private philanthropy, fueled the two great social movements of the 19th century: the abolition of slavery and the struggle for women's rights.
Creating Yosemite National Park was not Teddy Roosevelt's idea; it was the activist and inveterate hiker John Muir who talked Roosevelt into ditching his Secret Service men and camping under the redwoods.
African-American women and children, who refused to sit in the back of segregated buses and stood up to federal marshals, forced the government to finally enact civil rights legislation.
Anti-war activity stopped the war in Vietnam.
If you read a newspaper on any given day, you will see that most of the gains we are making as a society are still being done by activist citizens' organizations. These activists are taking politicians and CEOs to court for their malfeasance. They are forcing corporations to clean up sweatshops, sell only sustainably harvested wood, recycle their computers and cut down on toxic wastes.
Among these citizens are people I call activist athletes: citizen kayakers and fishermen who work to bring down obsolete dams and let the rivers flow. Falconers who brought the peregrine falcon back from near extinction. Duck hunters who have done the most to protect waterfowl in North America.
People may be afraid of the term activist because they associate it with ecosabotage and violent protests, but I'm talking about normal citizens who want the government to live up to its obligation to protect our air, water and all other natural resources. These activists have a contagious passion for the issues they support, whether they are mothers fighting to clean up toxic landfills that are killing their children, farmers losing their fourth-generation family businesses to urban sprawl, or surfers who want to keep the ocean clean. These are the people on the frontlines, trying either to make the government obey its own laws or to recognize the need for a new law.
That's why Patagonia's Earth Tax, 1 percent of our sales, goes primarily to them. I've learned from a lifetime of being outdoors that nature loves diversity. It hates monoculture and centralization. A thousand activist groups, each working on a specific problem that they're passionate about, can accomplish much more than a bloated organization or government.
Whom do you trust to protect the remaining 5 percent of old growth forest and the few healthy salmon streams left in North America? The Forest Service? State and local governments? Corporations like Pacific Lumber or Weyerhaeuser? I don't trust any of them. The only ones I trust are small grassroots citizens organizations made up of people willing to tree-sit for months or stand in front of bulldozers. We need the River Keepers, the Bay Keepers, the Forest Guardians and the protesters who chain themselves to the front doors of government agencies.
Worldwide, more than 100,000 nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) are working on ecological and social sustainability. In the United States alone over 30,000 nonprofit organizations are addressing such issues as biodiversity conservation, women's health, renewable energy, climate change, water conservation, trade laws, population growth and wilderness protection. The fact that they all have arisen independently, without any common institutional framework, is a tremendous statement about civil democracy and the extent of the environmental crisis. Most of them are local groups working long hours with minimal resources, and they are hanging on to existence by the thinnest threads, depending on small donations and fund-raising events like benefit auctions and bake sales.
Patagonia's financial contributions to activist causes have been significant (between 1985 and 2005 we gave $22 million in cash and in-kind donations), but I've always thought we should provide more than dollars. Among our other programs and in-kind assistance, Patagonia holds a "Tools for Grassroots Activists" conference every 18 months, where we teach activists the organizational, business and marketing skills that small groups need to survive in a competitive media environment. This is one of the most important services Patagonia provides. These people are often isolated, scared and bravely passionate, and most of them are woefully unprepared to confront big business or big government with their teams of attorneys and hired experts. By giving activists the tools to present their position clearly and effectively, we do as much good as by giving them financial support.
Right now, the environment is under even greater attack than before. Laws and regulations developed in a bipartisan spirit have been gutted, repealed or ignored. Pristine wildlands are suddenly vulnerable to mining and drilling, and corporate desires take precedence over conservation. We need all the activist athletes we can find. If you love the places where you practice your sports, join with us in protecting them. We need to encourage civil democracy by joining up, volunteering, or supporting financially all the groups fighting on behalf of the environment. Remember, we are the voice of democracy.

Murtaza Razvi, and what should come next
The ceremony for Murtaza Razvi was held in Karachi Friday. Even as more details of the killing of one of the Dawn Media Group's most senior journalists emerge, it's difficult to discern a motive. Several Pakistani media quoted an anonymous police official as saying, "We are investigating into the matter but it is a case of murder because his hands were tied and his body bore torture marks and he had apparently been strangled to death" with a belt. The official said police are waiting for the postmortem report.

EMERYVILLE -- The two 22-year-old men killed in a car crash Saturday were friends who grew up playing sports together, family members said Sunday.
Authorities identified the men as Elijah Albert, of Richmond, and Kent Owens Jr., of Berkeley. Police are still investigating the crash that occurred at 12:38 a.m. on Powell Street just west of Vallejo Street, when the car veered off the roadway and into a tree, Sgt. Andrew Cassianos said.
Albert was pronounced dead at the scene, and Owens was taken to the trauma center at Highland Hospital in Oakland, where he later died of his injuries.
Both Albert and Owens graduated from high school in 2008, Owens from Berkeley High and Albert from De Anza High in El Sobrante, said David Mason, a family friend.
In May, Albert graduated from Iowa Wesleyan College, where he studied psychology and was a member of the football and track and field teams, said his father, Garland Albert Sr.
Albert, who worked at 24 Hour Fitness in Richmond, returned home after graduating and recently tried out in San Jose for a spot in the Canadian Football League, the elder Albert said. He never let his size -- 5 feet, 7 inches tall -- stop his dream of playing football professionally, his father said.
"He was small in stature, but he always had a real big heart," Albert Sr. said.
Owens was living in San Francisco, where he studied kinesiology at City College of San Francisco and had played basketball at Contra Costa College. Owens' family could not be reached Sunday.
No other cars were involved in the crash, and nobody else was injured, police said. Investigators are still looking into the cause of the crash and have not said whether drugs, alcohol or excessive speed played a role.
"Speed may have played a part in the collision, but as far as drugs or alcohol, based off of smell alone, there wasn't anything that would suggest that," Cassianos said. "We won't find out for sure until we receive the coroner's report."
Albert's father said his son worked before the crash and may have been tired.
"He may have fell asleep," he said.
Anyone with information about the crash can call the Emeryville Police Department at 510-596-3700.

East Gull Lake City Council discusses wastewater connection
The East Gull Lake City Council discussed the possibility of increasing the rate for wastewater billing with local resorts such as Cragun's and Madden's at its meeting April 2, according to draft meeting minutes.
The council postponed making a decision pending further research.
Mayor Dave Kavanaugh said the possible rate increase has been discussed in the past and was postponed until an Equivalent Residential Connection (ERC) report could be completed for the resorts.
This report is meant to determine if the city's current ordinance concerning ERCs reflects the right information pertaining to usage in those resorts. A change in this ordinance could change costs of wastewater services for the resorts.
The question of why an increase was being considered was brought up. Kavanaugh suggested that an increase in cost could fund improvements and repair to wastewater system infrustructure.
In other business, the council:
• Began the process of making a plan to possibly create an easement concerning a sewer line running through property owned by Kavanaugh's Resort. Kavanaugh abstained from the decision.
• Discussed road improvements for Green Gables and Green Hill. An informational meeting is planned for June 4. A tentative date for a formal public meeting was discussed for June 20.
• Discussed acquisition of land owned by Mark Lee for the construction of a fire station located next to city hall. Lee agreed to allow the city to have an appraisal done on the property.

The beeyard I'd arranged unexpectedly fell through and I'm down to Plan C, which means putting hives at my parents' place. The spot we've settled on has vinyl privacy fence on two sides and 6' tall chain-link fence on the remaining two sides. One side of the chain link backs up to an alley, and would definitely need to covered to prevent panic/vandalism, etc.
My original thought was to transplant some hops against the chain link as a privacy screen. Then it occurred to me that I should look into something beneficial for the bees. Any ideas for a fast growing, climbing plant that's drought-resistant and hardy in zone 7? Wisteria is probably a no-go.

Big Sky business in limbo as dispute continues
BIG SKY, Mont. - A popular Big Sky business is still in limbo after the owners says an out-of-state developer is trying to close their doors.
The Corral bar, steakhouse, and motel has been in business since 1946. Parts of the restaurant, including the septic system, actually sit on land owned by an out of state developer.
The developer sued in 2010, saying the Corral was trespassing on the land, and ultimately won after a decision by the state supreme court.
The developer gave the Corral a deadline of Sunday for the owner to remove everything from his property. However, on Sunday afternoon we found the restaurant open and busy.
Co-owner Devon White says he will continue to serve his customers until he's forced out.
Along with a community support Facebook page, one of the owners' teenage sons helped create an online fund-raising campaign to help keep them in business.
White says he is just taking it one day at a time.
"What else can we do? We just, we have to operate it as long as we can. You see how many people are here today, I mean we can't close down unless we get shut down," said White.
We checked on the status of the online fund-raiser and as of Monday morning they had raised $14,630.

Saenchai Outclasses Peneak in Vintage Performance at Lumpini Stadium
- Published in Asia
- Written by Dave Walsh
- 0
Saenchai put in a vintage performance to outclass the newly crowned fighter of the year Peneak in the main event of the biggest show of the year so far at Lumpini Stadium. He was fighting at 127.5 lbs, something which he has supposedly told promoters he will never do again, and the question was whether the weight cut would leave him drained and give the younger, taller Peneak an advantage.
The answer was an emphatic no. Saenchai controlled the action from start to finish, repeatedly making Peneak miss and seemingly sweeping him and throwing him to the ground at will. In his last outing Peneak was able to drop Sam A with an elbow but this time he was unable to mount any serious offense with Saenchai at his imperious best.
It is rare to see a Muay Thai fighter continuing to compete at an elite level in Thailand past the age of 30 but not only is Saenchai still a match for the very best, on his day he is still capable of outclassing just about anyone. After back to back losses to Saketdaw and, somewhat controversially, Fabio Pinca he has bounced back in spectacular style by putting on masterclasses against two of Thailand's best in Saketdaw and Penek.
In a star studded card the fight of the night was between Wanchai and Sarawut. Sarawut controlled the early action and swept Wanchai on multiple ocassions at the start of the fourth round to move ahead but Wanchai just kept coming and coming, walking his opponent down to take the decision on two of the three judges scorecards.
In the co main event experience prevailed over youth as Singdam's famous right body kick was the story of the fight against up and coming teenager Wanchalerm Udonmuang. Old adversaries Nong O and Petbonchu locked horns again, this time Nong O was unable to score a stoppage as he has done repatedly in previous meetings although he did get the nod from the judges at the end of a close, competitive fight.
In another battle between a teenager and a veteran Petpanomrung was just too good for Ting Tong. Wanchalong beat Choknamchai, Petmorakot defeated Nattachai and Superlek's size advantage proved too great for Palongpon to overcome

Gaming 23 - The Touch of Gordon
Posted on 21st Mar 2011 at 11:43 by Podcast with 10 comments
This weeks gaming podcast sees Harry, Paul, Joe and Clive sit down to discuss some of the games we've been playing and reviewing lately. First up for the bit-tech treatment is the Crysis 2 demo which Harry has been playing. It's only a small part of the multiplayer portion of the game but it's an interesting window into what direction the rest of the game will take.

Brian Ray Celebrates a Birthday
Paul McCartney guitarist Brian Ray's fans not only remembered his birthday on Wednesday, but they did it in a special way.
As fan Julie Clark told us, " A group of us who call ourselves the Whooray Team teamed up recently to honor guitarist Brian Ray on his birthday by making a group-effort donation to MusiCares, an organization that Ray also supports." She said team members from four countries participated, from the West Coast of California to coastal Virginia and many states in between.
Why did they want to do this? Clark quoted Keri, who said, "Brian Ray is a musician who has paid his dues and then some. He knows the trials and tribulations that face all working musicians. It is in his honor that we humbly make a donation to a charity that is close to his heart. He gives so much to his fans we just wanted to give a little something back!"
"I thought I was just another fan of Brian's music but I was wrong," said Silvia from Brazil. "He is a real fan of his own fans around the world and he makes us feel special. Maybe he doesn't realize it but through his kindness and his music he created a ring of people who are now friends (from near and far) and inspired us to do good beyond borders and language barriers. That's the power of music. Feliz Aniversário, Brian! Você merece! (you deserve it!) ," said Silvia from Brazil.
"I believe in giving and admire those who do. Brian Ray exemplifies the spirit of giving and donating to MusiCares in his honor is a chance to give back, honor Brian, and help others at the same time," said Julie. "Everyone loves music and this is a wonderful way to show that appreciation!"
"Brian uses social media to connect with his fans like no other person I know, he uses his charm, wisdom and experience to introduce new music artists and encourages us to listen and learn from music," wrote Katie from England. "He inspires people with his enthusiasm and knowledge of current politics to make a change, and make a difference."
"I wanted to donate because I love music and its a worthy cause but mostly to honor Brian. He is always rockin' us out and giving of himself with a smile. He has a wonderful soul and energy!," said Mary Motsay.
Ray was very pleased.
"I'm so chuffed that you all would donate to MusiCares in my honor on my birthday. What a nice thing to do!! Woweee! I'm without words, and that's no easy accomplishment, ladies! You must know that your generous donation will help some amazing musician get treatment he or she cannot afford on his/her own."

Just to be a bit of a smarty pants (the cleaner version of what originally was in my brain)
Question is what are your intentions. The option most people picked is, "I would like my bees to be treatment free".
I'd like mine to be treatment free too, but that's not my intention.

For the first time since becoming a Rush club, the Maryland Rush are State Cup Champions!
The U18 Maryland Rush Nike boys would come from 1-0 down in the championship game with Bethesda Soccer Club to win 2-1 over the weekend. After Bethesda scored in the opening minutes of the 2nd half off a free kick, the Nike boys would reorganize to control the game and get 2 goals; one from Brian Dingle (Millersville University) the other from Josh Swartz (UMass) to get the lead and the win.
The Nike Premier 92 Boys now qualify for the USYSA Region I tournament held in Pennsylvania starting July 1st.

Awesome blog! Do you have any helpful hints for aspiring writers?
I'm planning to start my own website soon but I'm a
little lost onn everything. Would you recommend starting with a free
platform like WordPress or go for a paid option? There are so many options out there that I'm completely confused ..
Any tips? Thanks a lot!

I'm impressed, I must say. Seldom do I come across a blog that's both
equally educative and engaging, and let me tell you,
you have hit the nail on the head. The issue is something that
too few men and women are speaking intelligently about. I am very
happy that I came across this in my hunt for something concerning this.
Posted at 6:42 PM on February 6, 2014
Have you ever considered about including a little bit more than just your articles?
I mean, what you say is fundamental and everything.
But just imagine if you added some great images or video clips
to give your posts more, "pop"! Your content is excellent but with pics
and videos, this site could definitely be one of
the best in its niche. Very good blog!
Posted at 2:25 AM on February 6, 2014
First off I want to say fantastic blog! I had a
quick question which I'd like to ask if you do not mind.
I was interested to find out how you center yourself and clear
your thoughts before writing. I've had a hard time clearing my mind
in getting my ideas out. I do take pleasure in
writing however it just seems like the first 10 to 15
minutes are usually wasted just trying to figure out how to begin.
Any ideas or tips? Cheers!

Posted: June 13, 2013 in ACE Press Releases
New veterans' sense of duty, strength, respect make them perfect candidates for a career as an ACE-certified personal trainer
Their commitment to larger cause will be a valuable asset as fitness industry assumes greater accountability in fight against obesity epidemic
SAN DIEGO, Calif. (June 12, 2013) – Today the American Council on Exercise (ACE) launched a new program to give thousands of men and women leaving the U.S. Armed Forces the opportunity to continue to serve their nation in an important new way. The ACE Salute You™ Scholarship will prepare honorably discharged military personnel to start an all-new career as an ACE-certified personal trainer, a respected designation in a rapidly growing field.
Free of charge to candidates selected, ACE will provide study materials, registration for the ACE Personal Trainer Certification Exam, and one-on-one study assistance. The organization is committing 1,000 such scholarships in 2013 alone, a near $1 million value in product and in-kind service and support. ACE is pursuing partners to help increase that commitment in 2014 and beyond.
More than two-thirds of U.S. veterans consider finding a job the greatest challenge in transitioning to civilian life, and their frustrations are well documented. Unemployment among veterans aged 18-24 is a staggering 17.7%, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.
The Salute You Scholarship is aimed at alleviating that battle among the 300,000 service members expected to cycle out of the Army, Navy, Marines and Coast Guard in the next five years. Eligible scholarship recipients will be those servicemen and women who have been discharged within six months of their application date.
"This is our way of honoring and helping those men and women who've served our nation so courageously," said ACE President and CEO Scott Goudeseune. "We are providing new veterans with a no-cost opportunity to place themselves on a promising career path in a growing industry. It's a career path that makes perfect sense for them because of their prevailing sense of duty and natural inclination to serve. The respect they command, and the courage they exhibit, will prove invaluable as our industry marches more directly into accountability in the fight against the obesity epidemic. ACE wants to help far more people forge and live their most fit lives, and these young heroes will help us to do that."
Applications for the scholarship will be accepted online at ACEfitness.org/military beginning June 20.
"For our men and women in the armed forces, health and fitness is already a big part of their lives, so it makes a lot of sense to provide our returning veterans with opportunities to pursue careers in fitness training and instruction," said Rep. Scott Peters (CA-52), a member of the House Armed Services Committee. "With the surge of veterans currently transitioning back into the civilian work force, I applaud the work of organizations like ACE for helping our veterans put their skills to use in a way that supports their futures."
ACE has committed to eliminating the obesity epidemic by 2035. The crisis has put a strain on health care and private companies, which have faced rising costs as well as lower productivity due to employees who have had to miss work due to obesity-related illness.
In an effort to fund more Salute You scholarships well past this year, ACE is looking for corporate sponsors. For more information on joining the effort, contact Vice President of Business Development Victoria Kreutzkamp at email@example.com or (858) 576-6573.

Mediterranean Meets Mod in Southern California
The Capri • Ojai, CA
Escape Kit
- A Three-Night Stay for Two in a King or Two Queen Room
- Bottle of Wine
Even if your budget is less "Isle of Capri" than it is "capri pants," we've got an Escape that's a real Roman holiday. Slip away to The Capri Hotel in Ojai, a breezy California town that feels like a little slice of the Mediterranean.
Each guest room comes furnished with one king or two queen beds, a 42-inch plasma TV, a rainfall shower, a spacious patio or balcony, and Wi-Fi.
Mod décor in green and white lends an air of 1960s charm to the recently revamped hotel, and the view from your digs is swoon-worthy. Swaying palms and the Topa Topa Mountains fill the Ojai skyline, and the hotel's splashy poolside cabanas are ripe for lounging. Of course, if you want to dip in the ocean, the Pacific is only a 20-minute drive away.
Explore the surrounding scenery—Ojai has lots of it. Gather your thoughts at Meditation Mount, hike along 6.5-mile Last Chance Trail, or venture into the Los Padres National Forest. Even Ojai "winter" temps remain in the high 60s, so there's ample opportunity for trekking outdoors.
If lounging is more your speed, spend an afternoon at Spa Ojai, a 31,000-square-foot massage mecca that offers facials, body wraps, and mani/pedis. Then dine with Mediterranean flair at Azu downtown—visitors and locals alike love chef Laurel Moore's tapas offerings of caprese-stuffed artichokes and tagine-roasted chicken.
While you're sipping a glass of wine on a balcony overlooking the mountains, perhaps during one of Ojai's famous Pink Moments when the east-west mountain range turns a vivid sherbet, you'll feel molto bene.
"Spiritual teachers, gurus, and Hollywood celebrities are drawn to the beauty of Ojai, with its clean white Spanish architecture and oak and citrus trees framed by the Coastal Range."-- The New York Times

LiverKick Exclusive Interview with Yokkao Extreme's Stefania Picelli
- Written by Dave Walsh
If you've been following Kickboxing and Muay Thai over the past few years you'll be no stranger to the name of Yokkao. Yokkao has become one of the premier brands worldwide when it comes to muay thai equipment and has been doing a lion's share to help spread the sport beyond the borders of Thailand in a big way. You may not be familiar with the name Stefania Picelli, but the truth is, at this point you won't have a choice but to know her name as she has worked hard to both push the Yokkao label as well as to promote the sport of muay thai internationally through the Yokkao Extreme brand, Muay Thai Combat and now through the Yokkao Angels project.
She's a very, very busy woman and we caught up with her to ask her a few questions as she prepares for Yokkao Extreme 2013.
LK: Muay Thai is still a sport that is still somewhat exotic outside of Thailand, what kind of challenges have you seen as a promoter and entrepreneur within the sport?
SP: It's hard to understand for people that don't know anything about combat sports. Muay Thai has the luxury to be an ancient art, so you can approach to these people in that way, explaining the meaning of practicing Muay Thai and involving as many people as possible.
This is my purpose as a promoter because if I'll be able to involve different kinds of people, in the future Muay Thai and all combat sports can grow.
As an entrepreneur: it's hard to find the right balance between promotion, business and love for Muay Thai, but I think to be on the right way.
LK: What sort of vision do you have for Muay Thai internationally in the future?
SP: What I would like to see is that a mother doesn't cover her son's eye during a fight, that children can approach Muay Thai with the right mindset and that the Muay Thai can be recognized as a valid alternative to soccer, tennis, volleyball or whatever.
I'm sure that all the people that are supporting me are helping me to reach this goal and I'm very grateful for this.
LK: You've seen a great deal of success with both the Yokkao brand and the Yokkao Extreme events, what are your plans for them in the future?
SP: As I like to think...future is the future and after Yokkao Extreme 2013 will be a great new year with new projects.
LK: Do you find it difficult being a woman in an industry full of men?
SP: It's difficult to work just with men: fighters are really nice and well-mannered and I feel like to be a sister for them, helping them with their problems but when is the time to pull out their claws, I'm not the one who pulls back ... not for nothing I grew up with a naughty brother!
LK: What sort of obstacles have you had to overcome as a female promoter, specifically?
SP: The biggest obstacles were that the people really weren't used to dealing with it when they usually just deal with men....but I'm a smart person and I think that the people who worked with me really appreciated what I've done.
LK: Does Yokkao Extreme have any further plans involving the United States?
SP: Yes as I went to New York to see how the Muay Thai was present in the country and I was really happy to see how many Muay Thai fans there are and the potential of working in your country.
LK: You've put in a ton of work to become a success, what were you doing before promoting events and running a label like Yokkao?
SP: I was modeling since 20. It was a period of my life during university but it allowed me to grow very quickly. I'm happy to had this experience because I'm using it also right now (Yokkao Angels)
LK: What do you see your role as in the sport of Muay Thai internationally?
SP: As a real promoter who support Muay Thai in the right way
LK: Who is your all-time favorite fighter?
SP: In the past Samart, now definetely Saenchai
LK: Who is your biggest inspiration?
SP: When I work hard and I don't have time except to work for Muay Thai promotion I think that I'm bringing something of my family in everything I do. I'm half Thai and I think that Muay Thai is in my DNA. I lived Muay Thai as a Thai person and this is what I like to transmitted to people.
Yokkao Extreme 2013 goes down on January 26th, for more information check out the official site, also follow Stefania and Yokkao on twitter.

CSO ASTRA Vhild Trafficking and Internet
2010-10-05 11:44:00.0
Download right click "save as"
The evaluation of media campaigns2and prevention-education activities shows a considerable progress in how much lay public and various experts know and are familiar with the issue of human trafficking. The results show that both lay public and journalists recognize human trafficking as a social problem. This survey seeks to discover whether the print media (and in what way) pay attention to different aspects of human trafficking, as well as whether they work on the prevention of the problem through articles which are not directly connected to a specific event. Such a direction of a survey makes it possible to discuss new recruitment methods which journalists may have observed, such as recruitment over the Internet, as well as other phenomena as Internet pedophilia.More information about human trafficking on the website of ASTRA.

Hostess looking to get back in business, sans the union employees
posted at 4:01 pm on April 26, 2013 by Erika Johnsen
Last fall, Hostess tried to readjust their struggling business model and keep the company (along with its 19,000-strong workforce) going strong by closing a few factories and downsizing workers' wages and benefits — and the bakers' union to which a big chunk of the Hostess workforce belonged didn't like that all. Their resulting strike turned out to be a suicide mission, however; the Bakery, Confectionary, Tobacco Workers and Grain Millers International Union might have thought they were calling the company's bluff, but Hostess really could not afford to keep up the bloated pay structure, and the settlement failure meant liquidation and a whole lot of layoffs.
Now, a buyout firm is looking to put Hostess's bankrupt assets back into business; Ed mentioned yesterday that at least one plant should be up and running by July, and they're planning on re-opening several other plants in short order — but they're trying to do it without the union contract this time. Via ABC:
But last month Apollo Global Management, LLC, and Metropoulos & Co., which owns Pabst Blue Ribbon and Vlasic pickles, bought the 83-year-old company for $410 million, renaming it Hostess Brands LLC. It is planning to re-open four bakeries over the next two and a half months, in Columbus, Ga.; Emporia, Kan.; Schiller Park, Ill.; and Indianapolis. It is also contemplating a fifth in Los Angeles.
According to a report in the Wall Street Journal, C. Dean Metropoulos, the company's chief executive, said that between now and September, he plans to inject $60 million in capital investments into the plants, and hopes to hire at least 1,500 workers. …
While Metropoulos did not respond to interview requests from ABC News, he told the Journal that he does "not expect to be involved in the union going forward." …
A spokeswoman for the BCTGM did not return phone calls to ABC News. In a March statement, BTCGM president David Durkee said, "We share the enthusiasm, energy and passions exhibited by new ownership, and believe our highly-motivated and skilled workforce will serve as indispensable partners in the seamless re-opening of factories," he said.
But, according to the Journal, Metropoulos and his son, Daren, felt confident that they would be able to hire non-union employees near the new plants.
The loss of all of those jobs last year was something of a PR debacle for the unions — one that they could ill afford in these declining days of union membership — and now the company is back on the prowl for more competitive, more attractive non-union hires. True that the new hires could unionize sometime in the future, but as Hostess executive vice president Michael Cramer said on Thursday, "We are not going to invite the unions in. We don't have to."
The Hostess closing left 18,000 people out of work across the country—with about 5,000 of those union members. Hiring in remodeled plants is underway. …
"The Hostess strike will be a lasting image and not for the good of unions," said Marc Bloch, a labor and employment lawyer at Walter & Haverfield.
"I think any management team will hold up a photo to its workers of Hostess strikers and say, 'What's a union going to do for you?"' Bloch said. "The case can be made that they did nothing." …
Only 14.3 million of all workers in the U.S. currently belong to unions, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics—just 11.3 percent of the total workforce. That's the lowest rate in 70 years. The peak for union workers was a 35 percent rate during the mid-1950s, after a surge in unionization during the Great Depression through post-World War II.

text: Came across this article by Dan Graziano about the Cowboys and thought it was worth a mention on here (I apologize if this was already posted). Some of this guy's work is decent, and some of it is meh, but I thought this article was pretty objective and not too far off the mark. Link: http://espn.go.com/blog/nfceast/post/_/id/49753/how-desperate-are-the-cowboys-really Excerpt: "Each of the past two seasons, they made it to the final game with a chance to win the division. By definition, that's a contending team, and as close to being a playoff team as one can get. They must improve in spots, most notably the offensive line, or it's going to be hard to believe they can make any big leap forward. But I don't agree with the perception that they're in big trouble because they were hamstrung this week in free agency. I think there are a lot of very good players on the Cowboys' roster who, if properly supported by a good draft and some smart free-agent bargain hunting, can make this a competitive team in 2013, just as it was in 2011 and 2012. I think that's worth keeping in mind, is all."

Ariel Garten:
Know thyself, with a brain scanner
Imagine playing a video game controlled by your mind. Now imagine that game also teaches you about your own patterns of stress, relaxation and focus. Ariel Garten shows how looking at our own brain activity gives new meaning to the ancient dictum "know thyself."

Fort Carson soldier's selfie causing controversy
FORT CARSON, Colo. - A soldier who hid in her car during a flag salute at Fort Carson and posted a picture of it on Instagram is taking heat for her decision.
The Army Times reports that Pfc. Tariqka Sheffey posted a picture of herself in her car with the caption, "This is me laying back in my car hiding so I don't have to salute the 1700 flag, KEEP ALL YOUR 'THATS SO DISRESPECTFUL/HOWRUDE/ETC.' COMMENTS TO YOURSELF cuz, right now, IDGAFFFF."
On Wednesday Mountain Post addressed the photo that's sparking outrage across the country.
It's currently is looking at all the options concerning the soldier and the social media post before making a decision.
"Retreat is an evening ceremony where we honor the soldiers and flag. And all the values we represent in the U.S. Military. It's a chance to honor our national and all the ideals we uphold," said Col. Heidi Hoyle, Fort Carson spokesperson.
But one soldier wasn't at the ceremony. Instead of saluting she was taking a "selfie" in her car.
"A soldier is required to salute the flag every day. The profession of arms requires soldiers to be professional at all times. 24 hours a day both in uniform and without. Currently the command is looking at all the range of options concerning the soldier and the incident that happened. Right now we are going to allow the soldier the opportunity, and the command the opportunity to present all matters and investigate this fully before we make judgment," said Hoyle on Wednesday.
While Fort Carson makes its decision, others have already made theirs.
"Get a new job, stop milking us," said one man in Colorado Springs.
Others think there's more to the soldier's story.
"Some of these kids are promised the world and then when they actually get in the service, the disillusions can make them bitter. I can understand that on a level that many can't. For me to pass judgment on to her, I can't do that. Maybe it was tasteless but I can definitely understand these kids to be promised the world, and then see the reality to be a little bitter. Even toward the flag of our country," said Grant Provencher of Colorado Springs.
The Mountain Post said Sheffey is a member of the 59th Quartermaster Company, 43rd Sustainment Brigade.
Sheffey later posted a video where she expressed regret about posting the picture, but stopped short of apologizing, according to the Army Times.
Fort Carson also issued this written statement Wednesday morning:
Fort Carson's leadership is aware of the social media post PFC Sheffey made, is looking into the situation, and reviewing potential next steps. Fort Carson leaders will continue to educate Soldiers on standards and discipline and appropriate professional conduct on social media consistent with Army Values -- both on and off duty.

Recensioner för denna bostad
Stort rum i ett riktigt trevligt område i London, nära Camden Town, mycket bra förbindelser med bussar. Rummet var mycket trevlig, ren med alla bekvämligheter, badrum och handdukar!
Un super chambre dans un quartier vraiment sympa de Londres, proche de Camden Town, très bien desservie par les bus. La chambre était très agréable, propre avec tout le confort, une salle de bain et des serviettes !
Trevligt och anständigt rum. Vänlig och pålitlig värd!
Nice and decent room. Friendly and reliable host!
rory är en riktigt trevlig person. Han gav oss ett trevligt välkomnande och allt med nycklarna och alla grejer fungerade riktigt bra! lägenheten är ren och mycket bekväma.Vi hade några stora nätter sover som babys i möss sängen. :) Det är en grest plats att bo några nätter och jag kan starkt rekommendera den.
rory is a really nice person. he gave us a nice welcome and everything with the keys and all the stuff worked really well! the flat is clean and very comfortable.we had some great nights sleeping like babys in the mice bed. :) it's a grest place to stay for a few nights and i can highly recommand it.
Det är verkligen en mycket bra plats att bo i London, tuben är det 10 min promenad och anslutning till centrum är mycket bra, det finns också en buss framför huset. Rummet var mycket snabba, stora och ren och sängen perfekt! även badrummet. Rory är mycket trevlig person, vi träffade honom för att hämta nycklarna och även han kan hjälpa dig om du har några tvivel. Jag helt recommende!
It´s really a very good place to stay in London, the tube it´s 10 min walking and the connection with the centre is very good, also there is a bus in front of the house. The room was very confortable, big and clean and the bed perfect! also the bathroom. Rory is very nice person, we met to him to pick the keys and also he can help you if you have any doubt. I totally recommende!!!
rory is very kind and the location clean
a little too noisy cause the cars on the road but perfect for few days
very nice host,clean and cosy room, great location for exploring London (24hr bus right in front of the door!)
Amazing journey!! The room was nice and confy, in a very smart position(just in front of the bus' stop!).
Rory has been very kind and helpuful.
If we come back in London we'll surely gonna stay in the same accomodation.
Rory was a very good host. Although we arrived in the night time at 3 am we have got an very warm welcome.
The room and the bath room was clean. Everything what you need for a shorttrip is there.
The only negative thing is that the room was very cold for October. But I am sure when we had informed Rory that he would had helped us to start the heater.
The bus stop to get to St.Pancras is directly in front of the door. Camden Town is only a 10 minutes walk away and St. Pancras by walk 15 minutes.
Rory thank you!
Very nice room, we liked it a lot! The location is superb - just half an hour with a 24/7 bus to Soho, which is the place you wanna be when experiencing a city that never sleeps at night (the bus stop is literally in front of the flat!).
Rory is a very nice person, communication and handover of keys were no problem at all. :-)
Would definitely come back there for another London trip. (and thanks for the drinks mate^^)
Me and my boyfriend had a great stay at Rorys appartment.
He is very friendly, easy to talk to and uncomplicated. The room is big and the bed is good to sleep on with enough space for two ! He also provided us with all kinds of soaps, shampoo and even a tiny bottle of white wine ! Thanks for that ;)
It is very easy to reach the most important sights by bus which stops only a few metres from the appartment. It is a 24/ 7 bus so you won't have to worry how to get home at night.
If you have more time than we had you could even get to a lot of places such as Camden Town by foot. It was a shame we didn't.
The bathroom was fine too ! Unfortunately the pressure of the shower was quite low, which of course annoyed me more than my boyfriend since I have long hair.
We also had a few troubles with the internet but I am sure Rory will fix that any time soon.
All in all we both do really recommend his place & hope you will have a good stay in London.

Research at UNU-WIDER
The triple challenge facing societies today of structural transformation, inclusion and sustainability is the focus of UNU-WIDER's work programme 2014-2018. These are seen as key challenges to human development that will shape policy and research needs over the foreseeable future.
These three development challenges overlap and interact. Inclusion cannot be delivered by social protection alone; it requires the transformation of the productive side of economies together with the associated livelihoods. Transformation that fails to achieve inclusion may yield growth but not human development in its widest sense. Ultimately, both rest on the achievement of sustainability.
Transformation is a necessary condition of economic development, including efforts to reduce poverty and inequality. Transformation requires that economic growth reallocates resources towards more productive sectors, and in so doing, creates decent livelihoods for the poor and new opportunities for an emerging middle-class.
Despite past successes in Asia and Latin America, transformation has slowed in some countries and has yet to materialize in Africa. Promoting economic transformation will therefore be crucial for the success of any future development agenda.
Inequality is a key challenge and not only holds implications for economic growth and redistribution, but also translates into power asymmetries that can endanger democratization and human rights, engender conflict, and embed social exclusion so that chronic poverty persists.
Questions of inequality and inclusiveness are generating a broad range of public policy concerns at global and national levels. Promoting inclusion will require policy interventions that create decent jobs as well as provide safety nets for the poor and vulnerable.
Decision makers in developing countries face the complex task of achieving development in the context of increasing environmental stress and diminished stocks of natural resources. Sustainability is a multifaceted programme theme with environmental, social, and economic dimensions. Fundamental policy and investment decisions in energy, water resources, infrastructure, and agriculture interact strongly with environmental issues at the global, regional, and national levels.
Cross-cutting concerns
Cutting across the entire research programme are three high-priority concerns: Africa's inclusive growth, gender equity, and aid effectiveness.
