Surprise entry: Kia's just-launched Sportage SUV was the equal fourth best-selling vehicle in NZ last month – tying with the Mazda CX-5 – with 236 sales.
3 March 2016
By JACQUI MADELIN in NEW ZEALAND
THERE is no sign of the sales plateau predicted by New Zealand's new-car
distributors with February's tally of 10,313 vehicles the highest on record,
and the first time the month's sales have topped 10,000 since 1984.
NZ Motor Industry Association (MIA) chief executive officer David Crawford said
the solid result was due to a number of factors that helped keep the economy
ticking along.
"Strong net immigration, a healthy tourism sector and a competitive market are
helping to drive new vehicle sales, which is already year to date three per
cent (662 units) ahead of this time last year," he said.
February's overall tally is up 4.4 per cent on the same month in 2015, with
7192 passenger and 3121 commercial vehicles sold – the latter also the
strongest on record.
With the recent strong growth of the SUV segment, the MIA now breaks the
segment into a number of individual categories, and has also separated 4x2 and
4x4 pick-ups.
New Zealand's most popular segments are the mid-size SUV and 4x4 pick-up
segments, both on 13 per cent with 1385 units, followed by small (12 per cent)
and large SUV brackets on 12 and 11 per cent respectively.
New Zealand's most popular model remains Ford's Ranger (582), followed by the
Toyota HiLux (444), Mitsubishi Triton (289), Kia Sportage and Mazda CX-5 (both
Outside the top five was Toyota's Corolla (231), followed by Holden Colorado
(229), Nissan Navara (221), Toyota RAV4 (214) and Suzuki Swift (191).
Toyota continues to lead the market, up 2.4 per cent to 1559, with Ford firmly
in second place, up 29.6 per cent to 1266. New managing director Simon
Rutherford – who took over the New Zealand reins on January 1 – said the
company was in full launch mode last year, and now has full availability of a
number of new product lines.
Mr Rutherford said his focus will be a balanced portfolio, as well as working
on consumer experience, which he sees as being a big brand differentiator in
the coming years.
He said macro economic data suggested that the economy is relatively steady,
and added that he was focussed on the company's relationship with the dealer
"I think the industry will change a lot over coming years and the buyer and
ownership experience needs to transform," he said.
GM Holden sales fell 7.9 per cent to 894, but general manager sales Sean Tupp
said the car-maker had forecast this result, with life-cycle refreshes and
models in run-out. The new Spark micro hatch arrives in March, while the Cruze
Z Series, and facelifted Captiva 7 have just launched.
Mr Tupp said other new products arriving in the coming months included the
facelifted Colorado pick-up, the five-door Astra hatch that has just won
European Car of the Year, and the facelift Trax crossover.
Mr Tupp forecast a decrease in the overall market this year, and a similar
pattern for Holden.
"The rental market may come back as some companies are shifting to longer
holding periods, so rental turnover may be slow," he said.
Nissan sales rose 6.2 per cent to 834 while Nissan's numbers lifted 10.5 per
cent to 704. Managing director John Manley said the numbers are contingent on
when boats arrive.
"The boat from England comes in on the last few days of the month, and if it
doesn't come in, whoops," he said.
Mr Manley added that some months two boats arrive, and then it is a matter of
stock allocation, with Qashqai and X-Trail permanently subject to allocation
from the factory.
As for the market overall, Mr Manley said he does not expect it to drop this
"Once upon a time if dairy fell over, NZ fell over, but we now have a couple of
strings to our bow – tourism figures are astronomical, wine is good – that
prevent us falling over in morbid shock."
Mitsubishi sales rose 2.8 per cent to 701, Hyundai dropped 28.2 per cent to 538
and Volkswagen sales fell 15.3 per cent to 411.
Kia had a strong month, lifting a spectacular 60.9 per cent to 407 units,
almost entirely on the back of the new Sportage, which launched in
The car-maker's NZ general manager Todd MacDonald said he was not surprised by
the take-up given the early popularity of the previous model.
"If you go back to 2010, the third-generation car was an outstanding success
then, and I expect those early adopters are early adopters now, as these sales
are dealers contacting existing numbers," he said.
Mr MacDonald said while dealers are advertising, Kia will not do so until it
catches up on stock, as the volume of uptake has taken him by surprise.
Suzuki rounded out the top 10, up 23.8 per cent to 364. That increase over the
same month last year came in part due to February 2015's 30 per cent drop over
February 2014, although this year was boosted by a small increase in Swift, and
strong numbers for the new Vitara crossover, with the strongest retail month
since it launched.
With used-import sales holding strong – its numbers and trends continue to
mirror new-car sales – the New Zealand industry is showing no signs of flagging
just yet.

If your comment was intended to say UnsortedUnion does something other than stated in the documentation, then you are incorrect. The example you used here happens to have the first occurance of each element in the list in order. Consequently, UnsortedUnion and Union result in exactly the same output.
But if you were to change the order of the first two elements, i.e.,
In[7]:=UnsortedUnion[{b, a, c, c, c, c, b}]
Out[7]={b, a, c}
it should be clear UnsortedUnion is performing as claimed.

PARIS – Google resolved a compensation fight with French news publishers Friday that will see the U.S. Internet search giant setting up a €60 million ($82 million) fund to help France's media develop online sources of revenue. The deal follows two months of mediation with French news publishers unhappy their websites were getting none of the advertising revenue Google earned from sending search clients to their news content.
Google will set up the fund to help French media develop online projects, the office of President Francois Hollande said. The news websites had wanted Google to share revenue earned from linking to their content, but the California-based search engine had said such a practice would "threaten (Google's) very existence."
A similar deal was reached in Belgium after a six-year battle. Editors in several other European countries have also complained that revenue is being unfairly siphoned off by Google.

This settlement also leaves open my option of going after the individual guy who stole the Xbox. However, according to the police, if and when this guy is actually arrested or brought before a judge is only speculation. So, who knows how that side of the situation will turn out.
In the end, Aardvark made good on the refund and The Librarian and I can put this to rest for now.
UPDATE: It seems this blog touched a nerve with the manager at Aardvark Moving. After posting my review of the company and its handling of this whole situation, the owner decided to cancel the check they had sent to me as part of our settlement.
Yes, you read that correctly, Aardvark Moving cancelled the check they sent me to replace the xbox that was stolen by one of their employees. They have now effectively accepted no responsibility for the fact that one of their employees was a thief.
I have waited damn near a month before posting this. I kept thinking (hoping) that Aardvark Moving's manager and I would come to good place after one of his employees stole my X-box. It's a bit of a long story, but worth the read if you have ever done business with this group.
Moving Day
The Librarian and I were moving from our downtown apartment to our new house out in the 'burbs. Everything was set. We had hired Aardvark Moving to move much of our stuff from our one-bedroom into our new house. Things started well, then one of the movers decided to steal my X-Box.
Despite Aardvark Moving showing up late, the move itself seemed to go pretty smoothly. The three guys quickly got everything from the fourth-floor apartment to the truck and out to the new house. In all, it took no more than three hours to move everything.
Then I received a cryptic phone call from one of the movers. He did not identify himself at first and just point-blank asked if I was missing my X-box. I had not even gotten to the boxes we put in our basement and so I had to go down and dig for a bit to find the box. Sure as shit, the box had been opened, the X-box taken and then resealed and stacked with the others in a corner.
By the time I got back to the phone he had hung up. When I called Aardvark Moving's HQ and asked what was going on, one of the managers told me my X-Box had fallen out of the box on its own and broke. He said they were trying to figure out what exactly happened.
The Police Get Involved
The next day I get a call from the Blue Springs Police Department. The officer said she was investigating my "broken" X-Box as a theft. I had to make a statement at both Blue Springs (where Aardvark Moving is based) and Lee's Summit police stations since they were unsure where the crime specifically took place. What they did tell me was that they had video of the thief pulling my X-Box out of the moving truck when he returned to HQ and took it with him to his car.
At the time, the manager was extremely apologetic and seemed truly interested in getting a replacement since it was one of his employees that was involved. I will also give major credit to the one mover who turned his co-worker in when he suspected something was up. The manager and I started looking up what a replacement would cost and found a couple similar (same specs and storage) to my X-Box online for $350. The manager and I talked about it and he said he would get a check in the mail as soon as he finished the paperwork on his end.
Two Weeks Later
The check to cover replacement of my stolen X-Box arrived and it was half what the manager and I had discussed.
This was infuriating for a couple of reasons. First, this was not at all what we had talked about and agreed on. Second, when I called asked (I agree, I was a bit hot when I called. Even the folks here at the office could tell I was pissed). The manager kept pointing out that according to their own policy, he only owned my $10 based on the weight of the X-Box and that I should be "grateful" for the offer he made me. By the end of the phone call he said any additional money to cover the cost of the stolen X-Box would have to be approved by his boss, the owner.
At this point, he starts sending me emails pointing out that I could simply buy a used X-Box online for less than $150 (none of which matched the hardware of mine). Even better, he sends me a link to an Amazon site where he says I could buy my exact model and type of X-Box, only I would have to ignore the giant crack down the side of the casing and missing port covers.
The Bribe
As long as we were emailing back and forth, I kept hoping that the owner or the manager was finally going to come around. However, when the owner decided that Aardvark Moving had done enough, the manager emailed me reminding me that his company was only liable for $10 worth of coverage and, if I wanted to, I could go after the mover himself in court if I wanted to fully cover a replacement.
Through the whole process I had been pretty clear and upfront about my expectations and what I considered a reasonable replacement cost (especially considering I had fully paid for the move and worked with Aardvark Moving for three weeks now). When I told the manager that I would be posting about my experience and sharing my review of the company, he emailed me back offering me an addition $50 "to avoid any bad reviews of the company."
Ov vey.
I told him no, and said I would still be posting about this experience. Now, though, I am torn between a couple of options.
I have the thief's name and address from the police report. So, what do I do with that information? I ran a couple of background checks and did some research online. Not the most pious of individuals. There are no major crimes, but he does have a record.
There is always small claims court, I suppose. Or I could just go knock on the guys door and demand he give me my X-Box back. Of course, I could also do nothing and just wait for the police to pick him up on a traffic violation, then see him in court on the bench warrant.
The whole situation kind of sucks.

Great write up.
Question - is there an externally visable way to tell if the VANOS seals have been changed on a used engine? I'm guessing "no"...and I need to look through the maintenance records to see if this has been addressed on my car.
I know it just had oil changed (but the dash still flashes that oil change warning on start-up), air filter, tires, and fuel pump/filter. Tonight I'm getting into the corners/tails to clean any corossion and apply di-electric grease to get that dang blinker warning light off my dash. Then later this month I'm finally going to get around to those dang A & C pillars...stupid headliner just won't stay glued here in Texas. Gotta get stronger glue and material. Last year the cooling system was done, so I'm good there. I know the auto trans has NOT been serviced, so that's on my "to do" list this year at some point.
Next things I'm doing is to run the seafoam through it, change the plugs, and I might take a look at those bushings. I wonder if I can tell if they're OEM or have been replaced? I know the car feels much tighter than other models I've driven, but there's prob no way to know.

How much would you pay to hang a painting of the 'Dramatic Look' prairie dog on your wall? How about a portrait of the 'Sneezing Baby Panda' or 'Keyboard Cat'? Artist Dan Lacey has just released a fun prairie dog portrait in his series of YouTube meme-inspired paintings. He's auctioning it off on eBay and if you want it bad enough you just might be able to win this stunning piece of YouTube Art.
The artist describes his painting as, "Another study of The Dramatic Prairie Dog, this time with a pancake tumbling overhead. This is a study for a much larger painting." "But why the pancake?" you may ask. Dan Lacey has made a name for himself as "The Painter of Pancakes" and has drawn all sorts of people with pancakes on their heads.
The dramatic prairie dog isn't Lacey's first YouTube masterpiece, and it certainly won't be his last. He's painted JimmyMcMillan of 'The Rent Is Too Damn High Party' with a pancake on his head and according to his blog we can expect a lot more YouTube art over the next several days. He writes, "Soon to follow in the next few days are studies of four more YouTube meme themed paintings; Maru the cat, Rickrolling, The Sneezing Panda, and Keyboard Cat. Larger versions of these paintings are already in progress."
The bidding for Lacey's Dramatic Prairie Dog is on eBay now, starting at $0.99. What do you think of the collection? How would you like to hang a YouTube meme on your wall?

|Lloyds Development Capital
learndirect is a private company owned by the private equity firm Lloyds Development Capital (LDC). learndirect was formerly owned by the Ufi Charitable Trust, a not-for-profit organisation which sold learndirect and its parent Ufi Limited to LDC in 2011.[1] Ufi was created in 1998 to take forward HM Government's stated vision of a University for Industry in England, Wales and Northern Ireland, and launched learndirect in 2000. learndirect Scotland was the public-facing brand of the Scottish University for Industry (SUfI), but has since become part of Skills Development Scotland as "My World of Work". learndirect still operates in Scotland, and has offices in Glasgow.
learndirect has a network of learning centres in England and Wales, and also run some courses online. Since the establishment of learndirect, more than 3.5 million learners have enrolled in courses.[2] In 2004, an average of 65% of students completed their courses but this figure had improved to 92% by 2009.[3] learndirect participated as a "provider" in the UK government's mandatory unpaid work experience programme (commonly known as workfare, described by learndirect and DWP as "Mandatory Work Activity") for those on Jobseeker's Allowance.
The House of Commons Committee of Public Accounts undertook a review of the programme in 2005-2006; it found that the programme had received a total of £930 million in public funding, and was critical of the poor involvement of businesses, the high cost of marketing, and the low number of learners recorded as meeting their training objectives.[4]
In recent years, the number of individual learndirect centres has been in decline, though there have been significant improvements in the numbers of learners meeting their learning aims and learner feedback to Ufi Ltd currently stands at over 90% nationally. Ufi announced in late 2009 that it would be unable to sustain the large network of centres due to proposed budget cuts. An agreement was subsequently reached with the newly established Skills Funding Agency, allowing for a smaller network of centres, with the closure of some between July and August 2010.
Ufi Ltd were contracted by the Skills Funding Agency to deliver agreed targets in respect of qualifications achieved by learners, as well as a raft of quality, equality, and other indirect targets. However, following the May 2010 general election result in which the Labour government was replaced by a Conservative-Liberal Democrat coalition, the future of learndirect became unclear. Funding for English as a foreign or second language ceased in July 2010 through learndirect centres.
According to The Independent, Ufi Ltd was included within a list compiled by the new government of quangos which it sought to abolish.[5] The company and the learndirect brand were then bought by LDC, part of Lloyds Banking Group, on 4 October 2011.[6] Learndirect thus became an independent training provider competing in the open market and Ufi Ltd became a charitable trust. Learndirect Scotland became part of Skills Development Scotland and was renamed "My World of Work".

"Our shower planning team fell in love with this trendy chic chalkboard design even though it wasn't what we were originally looking for, and it has ended up giving us some really fun inspiration for other details of the shower too. Tonight I dropped off a few extra invitations for the mommy-to-be to have, and her exact words were "OMG these are the cutest!! I LOVE them!!" That reaction from our special first time mommy was worth every penny spent! And as always, the order arrived right on time, and the paper quality & design detail were superb."
"if you want to Impress your guest with a classy but uet modern chalkboard design. go for it. I'll say get the rectangular envelope and get your sender info pre printed"
"I loved everything about the card. The over all qaulity was FANTASTIC everything was perfect. I can not wait to send them out."
"I'm very pleased with how these invitations turned out - I was looking for a gender neutral design that deviated from the normal green/yellow themes. These were perfect, and look very high quality. I highly recommend having the envelopes printed as well - it saved so much time and was worth every penny. My only request would be to allow for some different font options for the envelopes so they're more customizable! Thanks for a great product!"
"I was worried about ordering invitations online. I like that TinyPrints offered a review for free. I ordered a pretty basic invitation, without any of the extra options, but I was happy with the quality. The invitations looked much more polished than cheap write-in invites, for a comparable price.

text: I just got an e-mail on this, and it goes into great detail about all the elements of the Great Seal of the United States. Then it says that the stars above the eagles head on the front of the seal came about because Washington asked Hayim Solomon what he could do to honor him for his contributions to our new independance. The result was that the thirteen stars are set into the shape of the Star of David. I love stuff like this, so I dug into this this morning, and found this story can NOT be verified. But I learned who Hayim Solomon was. He was a Polish Jew who moved here and helped the revolution. He was a financial genius in currencies exchange, and kept pouring money into the fledgling rebel forces. When Washington was ready to set into what was to be the LAST campaign of the Revolutionary war, he was told that the army was broke, had zero credit, and needed $20,000 to finance the campaign. He replied simply "Send for Haym Solomon". They did, Hayim went to work, and soon raised the full $20,000 for the cause. That campaign finished the war. We do, in reality, owe the success of our revolution to this Polish Jew - Hayim Solomon. When he died, his family found he was financially strapped. The total amount he gave into the Revolutionary War has been calculated in current dollars. $40,000,000,000. Yeah, that's Billion, with a 'B'. We will never know for sure if he asked for the Star of David to be on our great seal. But considering the kind of man he was, I rather doubt it. But I have little doubt that it was done to honor him, nonetheless. Many brave men took up arms and gave their lives for this nation. And some who never bore arms made the victory possible. Did anyone read THIS in the history books??

MONTREAL – Today, the Canadian Olympic Committee released the following statement of congratulations to François-Louis Tremblay, three-time Olympian, five-time Olympic medallist and one of Canada's three most decorated male athletes.
"Today, we congratulate and pay tribute to one of Canada's finest. François-Louis leaves competitive sport securing five Olympic medals, all of which have provided Canadians with an innumerable amount of great sports moments at three Olympic Winter Games. He is not only one of our country's most decorated male Olympians, but he stands as a catalyst for generations of dreamers – countless young athletes who have been moved and motivated by his performances. On behalf of the entire Canadian Olympic family, I want to thank François-Louis for his remarkable audacity on the ice, his unyielding commitment to speed skating and for his contributions in changing the face of sport in Canada."

As smartphones develop ever more into computers that happen to make phone calls there has been a pleasant move towards OS interoperability and cohesion. But it is a move which many handset makers still appear to be fighting...
Surprisingly joining this group today is Motorola - a company which has seen its fortunes transformed by adoption of Android. It has completed the purchase of Azingo, a niche Linux-based mobile phone operating system, according to Azingo CEO Yogish Kulkami.
Motorola has yet to confirm the move, but the company's big cheese Sanjay Jha recently said during its Q1 earnings call that: "I've always felt that owning your OS is important, provided you have an ecosystem, you have all the services and you have an ability and the scale to execute on keeping that OS at the leading edge. And I continue to believe that at some point, if we have all of those attributes, that owning our own OS will be a very important thing."
As which point I want to scream "No! No! No!" You don't see Dell, Acer or Lenovo saying it is important to own your own OS in the PC space, it would complicate life for software developers and consumers alike and this is increasingly true of mobiles. It is also a criticism which has been strongly (and we'd say rightly) levelled at Vodafone 360 and Samsung bada.
With RIM, Apple and Palm (now HP) having founded their businesses on proprietary software I'd argue that sector is already saturated and the smartphone landscape shouldn't be fractured any further. Instead we should be looking to open, hardware neutral platforms to provide competition, commonality and familiarity for consumers.

Julia quickly assessed and addressed areas where I can improve. We covered a lot of ground in 2 hours and I look forward to further sessions. I recommended Julie highly!
I recently met with Julia to go over the basics of Excel including pivot tables, if than statements, and the vlookup function. Julia was more than helpful. She broke down every topic step by step and went into explicit details about the proper ways to tackle my issues. After the lesson she proceeded to send me practice examples and worksheets to work on to further my knowledge. She's great and I would definitely recommend.
As a mid-career professional who didn't have to rely much on computers in the past, I had a lot of catching up to do. Julia very patiently helped me learn how to build PowerPoint presentations in a short period of time. I also learned to successfully navigate all the new features of Windows 8.1 and Surface laptop. She is confident in her knowledge yet easygoing and relaxed in her presentation. I'd highly recommend her.
If you are looking for an excellent tutor, Julia is your answer. I speak from experience having worked with several WyzAnt tutors for help with Microsoft Office programs. Most were adequate, but Julia is fabulous. She is competent, patient, prompt, responsive and kind. Her professional background in Microsoft Office training guarantees productive sessions - I gain noticeable improvement in my skill set each time we meet. Our sessions are thorough and move at a comfortable pace, so I have a higher rate of retention of the material we have reviewed together. Because of Julia's help, I now feel much more confident at work navigating through documents, presentations, spreadsheets, diagrams, charts and tables. I cannot emphasize enough how highly I recommend her!
Julia is relaxed and patient. That allows me to organize my thoughts and form my questions. She has been stellar in helping me understand how to use pivot tables. I still have work to do, but felt confident to manipulate the data I had from a very large spreadsheet. We also worked on some other spreadsheets and I really appreciated her flexibility while we jumped around to different topics. I leave each session with new skills that I can apply in my day to day operations.
I met with Julia for Excel lessons over a 1-2 month period and couldn't be more satisfied with the results. I came in with a list of intermediate/advanced areas I wanted to improve, and Julia was able to do just that: through various tailor-made spreadsheet examples, patient and detailed explanations, and additional 'take-home' assignments I made significant progress in my excel abilities. If you want to gain better command of the Excel platform (at any kind of level) I would highly recommend Julia for one-one tutoring.
I worked with Julia on Excel and found her to be detailed and patient in her teaching methods. This was a big stretch for me, and within a short time I was proficient and confident in my use of the excel program, due to Julia's flexibility, patience and diligence! I would totally recommend her as a tutor!
As a beginner in Excel I needed someone who could bear with me. Julie is just that person. She is very skilled and knows how to work with my skill level. Julie is an expert in Excel and could work with people on many different levels.
Julia has provided professional tutoring in Excel, Word and Powerpoint enabling me to increase my work proficiency and level of technical work results immensely.
I highly recommend Julia as she is patient, understanding and seeks different venues to address her client's learning needs.
Julia tutored me on how to create MS Templates (intermediate-advanced level). What I liked most about her was the fact that she understood exactly my needs. She came fully prepared the day of our meeting. I was very impressed!
She is professional, knowledgable, pleasant, patient and very helpful. I highly recommend her. I would most definitely use her services again.
I am very pleased with my first two tutoring sessions with Julia. She is quite knowledgeable and has been both helpful and patient.
Julia helped me put together a PowerPoint presentation. She was very responsive and flexible in terms of our setting up a meeting. She also had good ideas about how to incorporate some of the graphics that I wanted in the presentation in a way that enhanced the presentations attractiveness. Finally, during our lesson, she was mindful to keep the focus on teaching me the ins and outs of how to use the program. I am very pleased with my experience with Julia.
Approved subjects are in bold.
In most cases, tutors gain approval in a subject by passing a proficiency exam. For some subject areas, like music and art, tutors submit written requests to demonstrate their proficiency to potential students. If a tutor is interested but not yet approved in a subject, the subject will appear in non-bold font. Tutors need to be approved in a subject prior to beginning lessons.
I am a Microsoft Certified Systems Engineer (MCSE) and a Microsoft Office Specialist Master Instructor, and I've taught every level from beginners to advanced users. I am very patient, and I work to create a fun environment for learning how to use the computer and its programs! I really enjoy teaching people the specific features they need to learn in order to "get the job done," AND I like to throw in useful tips and tricks to make things easier and faster!
I taught basic HTML (hypertext markup language) and CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) classes for several years, and now I now use HTML every day in my work. I enjoy writing HTML and then viewing the page to see if it turned out the way I was expecting. I also use editing tools to save time when I need to edit large HTML files. I can teach you how to get started with HTML, how to create Web pages, and - most important - how to troubleshoot your HTML. Regardless of where the actual error was made in the markup, the page can look wonky in a completely different location, so it's a bit like a treasure hunt to find the mistake and fix it!
I have been teaching Excel for over 15 years, and I really enjoy it! I have taught intro to advanced (including Excel VBA) to a variety of students: people getting started with Excel, college students, experts who just need a little help with a specific feature, and more. I can help you with all versions of Excel for PC and Apple devices.
I have over 15 years of experience teaching Microsoft Outlook to all kinds of students: administrative assistants, executives, doctors, teachers, and more. I can give you tips and tricks for working more efficiently with Outlook. I teach all versions, and if you need help using Outlook at work or at home, I will be glad to teach you what you need to know.
PowerPoint can be a lot of fun! I'll show you how to create a basic presentation with bullet points and ClipArt. You can also learn how to use Custom Animation and set up templates to use over and over again. I'm a PowerPoint expert, and I'd love to help you learn the skills you need to put together effective presentations.
I have been using and teaching Microsoft Publisher (versions 2003, 2007, and 2010) in a corporate setting for over seven years. I can teach students to create posters, fliers, newsletters, tri- and quad-fold brochures. And I can help them use the Master Page; insert pictures, ClipArt, tables, and charts; and manage the layout of a publication. I enjoy working with Publisher, and I enjoy teaching other people to make use of all of its features.
I am a Microsoft Certified Systems Engineer (MCSE) and a Microsoft Office Specialist Master Instructor, and I've taught every level from beginners to advanced users. Everyone who uses a computer can benefit from learning about Windows. I can show you how to change your Display settings, create shortcuts, manage your files (and be able to find them when you need them!), customize your Start menu, and use other Windows features.
I have been teaching Microsoft Word for over 16 years to learners at all levels of experience, from beginners to advanced students. If you'd like to learn how to format a letter or set up a Mail Merge or anything in between, I'd love to show you how!

Celebrate the arrival of a New Year in style! Join us in one of our ski chalets and experience a huge range of extras to welcome in 2018. Here are some of the special additions you can expect to enjoy at New Year when booking with Skiworld:
With such a wide variety of destinations to choose from around the world, it can be tricky to find the right skiing holiday for you at any time of the year, and at New Year can be even trickier! Your ideal location could differ depending on your skiing ability, the size of your group, and the type of New Year ski holiday you're looking for, so here are a few suggestions to help you decide.
If you want to do New Year in the Alps properly, you need to head to Tignes. Big name DJs grace the ski resort with a free outdoor party every year, and the fireworks can be seen across the Tarantaise Valley! Tignes is an especially brilliant location for your New Year ski holiday if you enjoy a good party.
Val d'Isère is home to some of the best ski slopes in Europe, and has a vibrant après-ski that can't be matched. On New Year's Eve, head down to the roundabout in the centre of town for an unofficial gathering that offers their own countdown, but look out for the champagne corks flying through the air at the stroke of midnight. You may even spot a celebrity or two skiing on the slopes or in one of the many bars.
Other ski resorts for breaks at New Year include Les Deux Alpes, renowned for its superb snow conditions and buzzing town centre. Then there is the trendy ski resort of Méribel nestled in the Trois Vallées where the local bars put on their own New Year shaped celebrations after the Torchlit Descent. The more adventurous may wish to venture to Mayrhofen in Austria, where the fireworks start at midday and the street parties go on all night!
As we are one of the only tour operators offering ski chalets in USA this season, peak dates like New Year are selling out quickly. We still have some availability in Vail, the largest ski resort in the USA and the largest single ski mountain in North America where, at New Year, you can enjoy holiday themed family activities throughout the day, as well as live performances and star-studded parties all night.
If you are looking for a cheap skiing trip at New Year we have great deals on a number of self catering ski apartments. These are ideal for families or smaller groups that like to do New Year their own way, and have the privacy of their own home from home set in the beautiful snowy mountains. You can be certain to find a New Year skiing holiday that suits your style of celebration, so don't worry if you're not really in the partying mood! We're sure you'll find a New Year ski break that suits your party, even if your group prefer a quieter New Year, enjoying the slopes and celebrations in a more leisurely fashion.
New Year skiing holidays are often popular with groups. Skiworld offer some great savings for groups travelling at New Year, with up to 2 in 10 people travelling free. We have a dedicated groups department to help tailor your perfect skiing holiday, whether you choose to stay in a chalet, hotel or self-catering apartment in Europe or North America.

Today's Hours: 10AM – 5PM
This exhibition presents the private collection of Henry and Rose Pearlman, which includes an outstanding selection of Impressionist and Post-Impressionist works by artists such as Cézanne, Degas, van Gogh, Manet, Pissarro, Gauguin, and Modigliani.
Dutch, 1853-1890
Tarascon Stagecoach (La diligence de Tarascon), 1888
Oil on canvas
Henry and Rose Pearlman Foundation, on long-term loan to the Princeton University Art Museum
Vincent van Gogh described this painting in a letter to his brother, Theo, and drew a small sketch of it at the bottom of the page. He referenced a popular novel by Alphonse Daudet, titled Tartarin de Tarascon (1872), in which a personified stagecoach nostalgically laments the bygone days before it was replaced by the railroad in France. A sense of longing for these days gone by suffuses the painting, which van Gogh made just a few years after the invention of the automobile.
In the mid-twentieth century, businessman Henry Pearlman, the founder of Eastern Cold Storage Company, assembled an extraordinary collection of European modern art. He was particularly drawn to the work of Paul Cézanne, one of the most pivotal figures in the development of modernism. Pearlman acquired some twenty-four of Cézanne's paintings, including one of the most significant private holdings of the artist's watercolors. This exhibition is the first public tour of the Pearlman collection since the 1970s.
The vibrant colors, strong compositions, and bold brushwork of the School of Paris, including Chaïm Soutine and Amedeo Modigliani, reverberate throughout the collection. They accompany works by influential older artists: Édouard Manet, Vincent van Gogh, Paul Gauguin, Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, and Camille Pissarro. Henry Pearlman found living with these works of art in both his home and office a transformative experience, which he aimed to share with others by lending his collection. The present international tour of the Pearlman Collection has been organized in this spirit of generosity.
To complement the Pearlman holdings, five portraits by Soutine from a private collection are also on view.

Exhibition Organization & Support
Organized by the Princeton University Art Museum in cooperation with the Henry and Rose Pearlman Foundation.
Support for this exhibition is provided by contributing sponsors The Coca-Cola Company and Delta Air Lines. This exhibition is also made possible by the Livingston Foundation, the Anne Cox Chambers Exhibition Endowment Fund, the Fay and Barrett Howell Exhibition Endowment Fund, the Forward Arts Foundation Exhibition Endowment Fund, Ms. Louise Sams and Mr. Jerome Grilhot, and Friends of Cézanne.
In the early 1940s, Henry Pearlman (1895-1974) purchased a series of early Italian, French, and American paintings which he described as "decorative but neither provocative nor moving." His approach to collecting underwent a sea change in 1943, after the acquisition of Chaïm Soutine's View of Céret. The dizzying landscape of houses in a French Pyrénées village with paint, as Pearlman wrote, "slashed on as if by a trowel," inspired Pearlman to sell his previous acquisitions and dedicate himself to the study and accumulation of modern art.
Pearlman made his fortune through his Eastern Cold Storage Insulation Corporation, which dealt in refrigerated shipping. He applied his business acumen to the art world, and delighted in the strategic buying, selling, and trading of art. Pearlman endeavored to learn as much as he could about the artists whose work he purchased, studying their biographies and making the acquaintance of those who were still alive. He even occasionally traveled to the locations depicted in paintings so as to feel a closer connection to the subject matter. Pearlman collected art for his own edification, but also endeavored to share his collection with the public. In 1976, two years after Pearlman's death, the collection began its long-term residence at the Princeton University Art Museum, where students and members of the public can enjoy it to this day.
Paul Cézanne (1839-1906) was born in Aix-en-Provence, in southern France, the landscape that became his most frequent subject. In his youth, he defied his banker father's wishes by leaving the university where he was studying law to become an artist. He showed in two Impressionist Salons before removing his art from public view for decades due to his sensitivity to criticism.
Cézanne once announced that he wished to paint nature as if no one had ever painted it. Indeed, he developed a completely new way of painting, eschewing traditional forms of perspective and laying down paint in parallel patches of color. During his lifetime, Cézanne's art was controversial because it diverged so drastically from the norm. At the end of his life, however, young artists would visit Cézanne at his home in Aix to learn from him. He became immensely influential a pivotal artist in the early history of modernism.
The paintings in the Pearlman Collection beautifully show Cézanne's artistic range. They include a small, intimate portrait of the artist's son and one of his last views of Mont Sainte-Victoire, the Provençal mountain he revisited many times throughout his career.
In addition to the paintings by Chaïm Soutine in the Pearlman Collection, five portraits by the artist from the Lewis Collection are on view. All five depict anonymous subjects, but each is deeply individuated, showing Soutine's careful observation of the particularities of each person he painted.
Soutine (1893-1943) was born into a poor family in Smilovitchi, Lithuania, and grew up in an Orthodox Jewish community. After graduating from the Academy of Fine Arts in Vilna, Soutine moved to Paris and enrolled at the École des Beaux Arts.
Critics and collectors saw Soutine as the artistic successor to Cézanne. Like the older artist, Soutine avoided traditional forms of perspective, especially in his landscapes. Trees and buildings are tipped upward, offering a disorienting view that borders on abstraction. But Soutine's energetic application of paint stood in contrast to the work of his predecessors. He took advantage of the three-dimensional quality of oil paint, sculpting it on the surface of the canvas in thick strands. After his death, Soutine would serve as a key influence to such important artistic figures as Willem de Kooning, Lucian Freud, and Francis Bacon.

Cunningham comfortable with the weight of expectations
Story and photos by John DiSanto – Philly Boxing History (.com)
Thus far in his professional boxing career, Steve "USS" Cunningham has fought 28 times as a cruiserweight. He's never weighed in at more than 199 pounds – one full pound below the cruiserweight limit. But all that is about to change. On Saturday afternoon, Cunningham will step into the ring as a heavyweight for the first time in his life. He'll fight a scheduled 10-rounder against tough measuring stick Jason "The Sensation" Gavern at the Prudential Center in Newark, NJ. The fight will start a new chapter in the fighter's career.
"I'm feeling confident," Cunningham said. "I'm anxious. I don't know, there's a lot of feelings. But I'm comfortable with the fact that I'm a fighter and this is what I do. I got to fight. This is how I make my living. I love fighting and this is the next step. I'm excited to make the next move, and see where it goes. Lord willing, we come up successful with this, and we'll see where we go."
Cunningham's move up in weight is a milestone worth celebrating. At heavyweight he'll finally get a chance to fight near home (instead of overseas where seven of his last nine bouts have occurred), earn potentially bigger paydays (instead of banking the typical skimpy cruiserweight check), get some attention (instead of fighting in the blind spot known as the cruiserweight division), and perhaps even land a shot on national US TV (something this two-time world champion has only done once in a 12 year career – if you count the old Versus Network as national TV).
"Normally around this time we'd be flying over to Europe," Cunningham said. "But now we're talking about driving to the event in our own car the day of the press conference. I don't know how to act right now!"
For Cunningham, the upside of becoming a heavyweight is big. This talented, dedicated, marketable, exquisitely conditioned, hard working, professional boxer may finally get the long overdue attention and compensation he's been waiting for. No one deserves it more than Cunningham.
So why am I not doing handstands at the prospect of seeing him fight as a heavyweight? It's a nerve wracking decision to say the least. The move comes with certain inherent dangers that I hate to see Mr. Cunningham risk. Perhaps Cunningham trainer, Nazim Richardson, said it best.
"What I'm asking of him is to almost be flawless, which is nearly impossible," Richardson said. "Because in the heavyweight division, you could dominate 10 rounds, and the joker can land clean and erase everything. Heavyweights carry that eraser."
That's it exactly. That's the high risk Cunningham will take against Jason Gavern and every other heavyweight he eventually faces – he can do everything right, but if he makes a single mistake, the fight could end on a dime. A sudden KO is a standard risk in boxing, but odds of it happening increase sharply for someone moving up to the heavyweight ranks, someone who has never felt the punch of a heavyweight.
Cunningham has been in the ring with heavyweights before, but just for sparring. He's worked with Wladimir Klitschko in the past, and is currently sparring with local Philadelphia big men.
"I've been sparring with Chazz Witherspoon," Cunningham said. "He punches all the time. Very good pressure. He'll hunt you down. He'll crack you. The difference I've been feeling is just their weight. It's wearing on my body."
And that is just sparring. Fighting a heavyweight for real figures to be even tougher. From the opening bell, Jason Gavern will not only try to impose his natural size advantages over Cunningham, he'll try to convince him that he does not belong in the ring with a heavyweight.
"We know Jason Gavern is a rugged guy," Cunningham said. "He's beaten some guys, and I know he's rugged and he'll upset you (if you're not careful). So our thing is to go out there and not give him anything. The plan is to win, and to look good winning."
"There are no lulls," Richardson said. "There is no taking a break and just jabbing and just looking. There's none of that. You have to be intense for 10 rounds straight. You relax when you're in the dressing room with your shoes off."
Cunningham has spent the past months trying to add a few pounds to his six-foot, three-inch frame.
"Since March, April we been working to put on this weight," Cunningham said. "I'm leaving the gym around 205. I feel pretty comfortable. Right now I'm probably about 206, 207. That's where we wanted to be from the beginning."
Cunningham expects to weigh in for the fight at around 208 pounds.
"I believe we're going to carry the speed (up to heavyweight)," Cunningham said. "That's why I'm not interested in going so heavy. My ideal weight is 215 (for future fights). That's my max out weight."
It remains to be seen if Cunningham can perform at the same level with the added weight.
"It's still going to be the same Cunningham," he said. "I just know how to be me. I'm going to work hard, and I'm going to give my all in the fight. There's no excuse for losing. I just gotta keep working till I win."
"Of course there's always pressure, especially with this move," Cunningham said. "I know all that. I see all that. I play it in my mind. But the main objective is winning and moving on to the next one. Winning spectacularly is what we really want to do. So if it doesn't happen spectacularly, it ain't going to be because there wasn't an effort."
Effort is never the issue with Cunningham. But how will he handle the punch of true heavyweight? As a cruiserweight, he ran into some hard shots and wound up off his feet. But he always got up.
"I understand where people are coming from," Cunningham said. "They see the knockdowns at cruiserweight, and they just don't see it. But I can't be concerned about that. My chin is solid. If I go down as a heavyweight I guarantee I'ma get up, Lord willing, and keep trying to win."
So up to heavyweight he goes.
"I'm in favor (of the move) because the cruiserweight division is a lost division," Richardson said. "See it's hard being a champ, working as hard as the other champs, maybe training harder than the other champs, but not getting the compensation. So now you have to move up a division. Eventually a cruiserweight has got to go heavyweight to get compensated properly."
It makes perfect sense, but it still feels so risky. I get very attached to the fighters I like and follow. I watch their every move – in the ring, at the gym, on Facebook – and I root for them to succeed. I enjoy the career moves, and the preparation, and the fights. But I also worry the whole way.
Perhaps that is why some of us watch the fights, and some of us fight the fights. It takes a certain temperament to be a fighter. It's something that I admire, but it is also something I may never fully understand. Steve Cunningham understands it. He has it. It has made him a champion twice, and fuels him past the obvious risks to reach for that goal again at heavyweight.
"I'd love to be heavyweight world champion," Cunningham said. "That's all I know. Me being heavyweight champion? I'm not hoping for less."
Neither am I, Steve, neither am I.

The nicer you are the worse you are likely to be paid. That's one conclusion from one of the most detailed studies ever undertaken into the relationship between personality and pay. Researchers at the Institute for Social and Economic Research (ISER) at the University of Essex have just published a study that shows clearly that nicer people are on average paid less. And it seems that even being conscientious does not provide any statistically significant pay reward.
Using the British Household Panel Survey, Dr Cheti Nicoletti and Dr Alita Nandi's research looks at nearly 3000 men aged between 24 and 64 living and working in the UK. By using information on people's personality traits called the Big-Five (openness to experience, conscientiousness, extroversion, agreeableness, and neuroticism), they classify people into different personality groups (e.g., high agreeable and low agreeable, high extrovert and low extrovert).
The research showed that those people who were nice earned approximately 6% less which equated to an average of 72p less per hour. The same pay penalty applied to people with a high degree of neuroticism. Extroverts and those open to experience were paid the best, with those open to experience earning 9% more than those who were not open, a difference of £1.04 per hour.
All these pay differences except for openness to experience persist even after controlling for a large set of characteristics such as level of education, occupation, work experience, previous unemployment, training, and other personal and job characteristics.
Commenting on the findings, Chief Research Officer Cheti Nicoletti said: 'The results clearly show that agreeableness and neuroticism are penalized in the workplace while extroversion is rewarded. There seems to be a sticky floor effect for highly neurotic people and highly introvert people. Our findings also suggest that emotional stability and extroversion are personality traits better rewarded in low paid occupations. While it is generally considered fair that workers with better cognitive abilities or education be paid more; unequal pay across workers with different personality traits, but who are otherwise identical, could be considered unfair.'
The ISER team is cautious about making any policy prescriptions about encouraging the development of certain personality traits based on these results alone as these rewards and penalties pertain only to the labor market and not to other meaningful aspects of life. Dr Nandi explains: 'For example, while agreeableness is penalized in the labor market, it may make a person more socially acceptable, increase her social networks and finally lead to better mental health and well-being.'

They beat and ill-use me, Dick; and I am going to seek my fortune, some long way off.
For them, who now ill-use you, you have gone through life but half a man.
"It will do you no good to ill-use a fellow-creature," replied Tweasle distinctly, as though the blow had refreshed him.
There was nobody to tease or ill-use him, and he was never ill.
But mind what you are about, my sparky, and don't think to ill-use me because you happen to be the strongest!
There did he find and ill-use a beautiful Saxon girl, who did resist him with many tears.
When he entered the house she said, 'Why did you allow them to ill-use my son.'
Those whom he hated he did not ill-use beyond the limits of justice.
I had to work hard, but toil was a pleasure as long as I had no one to abuse and ill-use me.
That little men should have ventured to ill-use you, has hurt your pride.

CINCINNATI -- The racial tension that erupted in violence in the streets of Cincinnati this week has been building for years.
Blacks have long complained that they are harassed by police and that their neighborhoods are neglected economically. They note that 15 blacks -- and no whites -- have died in confrontations with Cincinnati police since 1995. Four of those deaths have come since November.
''All this has been festering for some time,'' city historian Herbert Shapiro said Friday after three days of riots followed the shooting death of an unarmed black man by a white police officer.
The city along the Ohio River has grabbed ugly headlines before -- for the racial slurs of Cincinnati Reds owner Marge Schott, for example, or the trampling deaths of 11 people at a concert by The Who in 1979.
But Cincinnati is in the spotlight this week because of violence that has injured dozens, caused thousands of dollars in damage and led to more than 150 arrests.
Behind the riots is a discord between police and blacks that dates to the Civil War, when Cincinnati became a hotbed for runaway slaves. Blacks now make up 43 percent of the population but only 28 percent of the city's 1,000-member police force.
Black residents are congregated in rundown areas like Over-the-Rhine, where the riots broke out among pawn shops and mom-and-pop markets that line the cramped streets. Whites live in quaint historic districts or, more often, in distant suburbs outside the city of 331,000.
Last month, the American Civil Liberties Union and the Cincinnati Black United Front sued Cincinnati, accusing the police department of failing to end 30 years of police harassment of blacks.

''Outside of Oakland (Calif.), I don't believe there is a city that has this many people dead at the hands of police,'' Kweisi Mfume, president of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, said Thursday while touring the streets of Over-the-Rhine.
City officials insist no bad practices or wrongheaded policies are involved.
''The fact is, Cincinnati police do not use force as often as other police departments, and do not shoot as often,'' Mayor Charles Luken said.
In fact, city officials say they have made strides in race relations. They created a citizen police review board and are considering a requirement that officers record the race of every driver during traffic stops as a hedge against racial profiling.
But members of the seven-member citizen board complain that the police do not communicate with them and that they lack authority to properly investigate complaints.
The National Coalition for Police Accountability, a Chicago-based watchdog group, has fielded no more than a dozen complaints about Cincinnati police over the past decade.
''But that doesn't mean misconduct isn't occurring, just that we're not hearing about it,'' said Mary Powers, the group's national coordinator.
Those who study police practices give Cincinnati good ratings, and some observers say similar violence could break out in any big city because it is deeply rooted in national racial and economic problems.
''There's no insurance against this happening in any city in the United States because there are so many issues that come into play,'' said Sylvester Daughtry Jr., executive director of the Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies.
Cincinnati fulfilled the commission's standards for accreditation, which few big-city police departments do. Appropriate use of force is one of the tests.
But flashpoints persist in neighborhoods like the one where white officer Stephen Roach chased and shot 19-year-old Timothy Thomas on April 7.
''One spark, and everything is lost,'' said James Fyfe, a professor of criminal justice at Temple University in Philadelphia and a former New York City police officer.
Mob violence after Thomas' death prompted Luken to impose the city's first curfew since riots broke out in 1968 following the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr.
The slaying has also focused attention on the other deaths.
Of the 15 blacks to die in confrontations with police in the past six years, 13 were armed. In most incidents, the men first shot at or threatened police officers.
Still, two of five officers involved in a November arrest were indicted on charges of involuntary manslaughter and assault after Roger Owensby Jr. died of asphyxiation while in police custody.
The Justice Department is looking into Owensby's death. It is also investigating allegations of patterns of police misconduct in at least 15 police departments, but Cincinnati is not one of them.

German pharmaceutical to open plant in Loudoun
The road from a German drug manufacturer to South American customers will soon pass through Loudoun County. Leesburg Times reports German pharmaceutical company Biogrund will relocate part of its manufacturing work to Sterling.
Biogrund's primary business is film-coating medication. Relocating part of its work to Loudoun will mean less shipping for customers in South America and the United States and a chance to expand its reach. The plant is expected to open in the first quarter of next year.

NYC recession generation may never catch up in workplace - report
NEW YORK (Reuters) - Young people who joined the New York City workforce during and after the 2007-2009 recession earn less than earlier generations, a disadvantage that could last their entire working lives, a report by city officials said.
Academic research shows those joining the workforce during a recession can wind up in a lower paid and less prestigious job for years, and could even be less happy and less healthy than those who joined during a strong economy.
The report from the city Comptroller's office goes further, suggesting that a national focus on public sector "deficit containment" and "fiscal restraint" since 2010 was "imposed at great cost to the generation entering adulthood in the early years of the 21st Century."
Constraints on these workers may not fade as future generations enter the workforce, with many potentially facing a "wrenching readjustment" to a new normal in which career opportunities are more restricted, the report said.
As a counterbalance, the report suggests policies that disproportionately benefit young people such as raising minimum wages, keeping public universities affordable, cutting student debt, and creating more affordable housing.
The report on New York's "millennial" workers comes at a time of heated debate over income inequality and the ability of the U.S. economy to provide for young workers.
"Every generation is expected to do better than the last, but too many millennials are not getting a fair chance to make it in New York City," Comptroller Scott Stringer said in a statement on the generation defined by the report as those born between 1985 and 1996.
Millennial joined the city workforce when high-paying jobs in finance and law were drying up and lower paying jobs in hospitality and retail proliferated. As a result the cohort earns 20 percent less than earlier generations.
Average real incomes of employed 29-year olds in the city decreased from about $56,000 in 2000 to $50,300 in 2014, in what the report called a "fundamental deterioration of the earnings opportunities available to young workers." Continued...
