Santa Monica hotels booking).
This is my second visit and I will definitely go back again. The staff is extremely courteous and the hotel is gorgeous.
The high-demand sea-view location. The greenery around the spacious Fairmont grounds. The large & well-furnished lobby.
The Fairmont is a one of a kind property in Santa Monica with spacious grounds right in the heart of the city. Compared to many LA hotel that style them selves as Luxury there no gimmicks like too "sexy" bathrooms or well appointed but tiny room, No this is a grand hotel, beautifully maintained with flawless workout facilities
This team have it down pat. We took a long flight across from NY, unslept and unkempt. They had our room ready, BMW bikes you rent for free to explore santa monica and venice, the most outrageously perfect gym to work out in, it's pet friendly and we missed our dogs back home in Aus – and it was cheaper than other hotels in the area. I kid you not we have now prepared to return for a 7 day stay in this hotel ONLY for a base out of LA trip. that's how good it is Oh and the young guy at reception was easily the best employee of a resort we have ever stayed at. hands down the guy is 12 steps ahead of any request youve got – give that kid a promotion!
we like everything but the restaurant.the food and drinks were just louzy and expensive. there are some nice restaurants down the street. Don't bother with the hotel restaurant.
I liked that all promised in emails was taken care of upon my arrival! Hotel staff was great, checked in and was in my room within 10 minutes.
Nice big room – double the size of standard hotel room, spotlessly clean, great service, wonderful location, impeccable staff.
Pretty much everything. The hotel is beautiful and comfortable, with excellent service and food. The staff are friendly and helpful. I love the place.
Loved this hotel great location. Suites were fantastic no noise at all. Staff were helpful and friendly and concierge arranged trips for us with ease
Location, location, location. And very "nice" in general, with the grounds and bungalows. I would stay there again and recommend, although a bit pricey for what you get.
The Valet & Drivers My Room Courtesy & Friendly Staff No request too large Anticipated my needs Close to FABULOUS shopping & eateries I'll be back!!!
Well situated near beach pier and main shops staff were friendly and helpfull the room we were in was clean nice touch with bed fold down in the eveing the free Loan of bikes was good we are so glad we stade in Santa Monaca while visiting LA and traveled daily from here by car to all the other tourist sights
I loved the location and mellow scene around the bungalows. I like staying at historic LA hotels and love the fresh air that Santa Monica provides.
I felt like a VIP at this luxurious hotel. Good was great and reasonably priced. Staff was exceptional in meeting my needs and comfort.
– my room is much bigger than what I expected to be. – enough for large big suitcases. – the bed was soft and comfortable. – the bathtub was pretty deep compare to Placentia Best Western Plus.
I like the location and the vibrant atmosphere in and around hotel. Feels like a party place all the time and is very lively. I had a beautiful partial bay view which was very good, though I had booed for city view I got a bay view.
Staff was very friendly and outgoing, anticipating our needs. We had grandchildren with us and they were treated like princes and princesses. Loved the setting, excellent poolside service.
Absolutely every, esp Spa Massage and atmosphere and Ameniities in room. Beautifully appointed decor in room. View spectacular on 9th floor! I'll be back for certain!
The staff is so pleasant and everyone very kind and welcoming. We appreciated the complimentary town car. The room was lovely

In the early morning of January 13, a fire struck at a two-storey King Street building located behind the Lucy Marco Place residence. It is assumed that the fire started at around 7 a.m. and fire fighters arrived on the scene shortly after. They had the fire under control by 7:40 a.m.
Fire fighters put out minor flames around the building until around 9 a.m.
The fire had engulfed the second floor and burned through windows.
The building contains apartments, a lawyer's office, a convenience store, and a pet grooming shop. There have been no casualties reported from the fire and fire fighters are still unsure of the cause of the fire. As of yet, there is no estimate of the damage caused by the fire.

Lets talk about Friday night for a minute or twelve. It all started a month or two ago when a girlfriend of mine emailed me to let me know that Ben was going to be at the Baker Youth Club annual charity night in Warsaw on Friday, March 25th and asked if I wanted to go. Silly friend, like she even had to ask. You mean I can support a good cause WHILE potentially getting to meet the bachelor of all bachelors, Ben Higgins himself? Deal. Word spread among some of my other friends and 5 us in dresses later, we were ready to roll. We were ready for Bauren, but were they ready for us? We're still not sure of that answer.
So here's the thing – we thought that we would be among the hundreds of fan girls who were there to swoon over the happy couple because well, duh. Turns out we were in the minority as the majority of the people there were Warsaw citizens with just really great hearts for Baker Youth Club. That's awesome and all but didn't really help in the "look cool, play calm, act natural" department for us. A few pep talks and glasses of wine later we were headed to get some food and that's when Ben's dad, Mr. Higgins himself spotted us. Being the gentleman that he is he approached us while saying something to the extent of "Now, I've got to meet you girls – you look like fun!" and that's when we knew we were obviously getting
a wedding invite picture with him.
A few raves about how great Lauren is and how well the two families were blending together, he introduced us to a few friends of his [Ben and Lauren were still MIA at this point] and led us to the Mayor of Warsaw, Mr. Thallemer, who proceeded to show us all sorts of great pictures of Ben with his daughter at prom in high school along with funny stories from the past. This man was a real gem I tell you. It's a good thing when you've got the mayor who happens to be friends with the bachelor on your team – "I'll make sure to get Ben and Lauren over to you ladies, don't you worry about that…"
And that's when the happy couple arrived. Now, if you recall this wasn't our first time seeing them together as we were at the taping of their hometown date. Old friends really by this point in time, they may have just forgotten that part.
We made eye contact with the beauties and being the real sweethearts that they are, proceeded to give us all hugs, thanked us for coming and then dove into conversation. While I've loved Ben since day one, Lauren may have one-up'd him as she quickly took her place as one of the girls. Talking about all things eyebrows, how crazy her life is right now, lazy eyes, interesting people they have met, her dilemma with being a flight attendant, snapchat, her insanely gorgeous ring and so, it was hard to want to end the conversation. Here's the thing with these two – they are both crazy genuine, welcoming, friendly and real. Coming off a season where over 30 million people tuned into their love story every week, it would be easy to have to keep up a good show in front of people – there was no show about them which was all sorts of refreshing.
Now that we had all officially met and became BFFs we ventured off to partake in some of the other shenanigans before taking our seats for the official presentation and auction.
We like to keep it classy at all times.
Ben and Lauren [aka Bauren] took center stage and each shared their personal experiences of what the bachelor was like for them and then opened it up for questions and answers. They touched on how they know that this "instant fame" they are experiencing right now is fleeting and not satisfying, that Olivia really was as the show portrayed her to be however it truly did take Ben awhile to realize the weirdness [the producers did not make him keep her around], that their families and faith are of the utmost importance to them and know they will need both to really make this relationship work and that they are now not obligated at all to ABC and can talk as freely and honestly about everything. I think what I appreciated most is that they weren't full of the awkward "lets kiss in front of everybody to make it look like we are really in love" moments but would rather occasionally steal little hand grabs, winks or laughs with one another.
After the presentation it was back to mingling time which really meant another picture or two along with Lauren's debut on my snapchat account [see the videos on both instagram + facebook]
During this time we also ran into Lauren's father, Mr. Bushnell, who was also as sweet as they come and joked around about how dorky he was for wearing the same outfit that he wore when Ben came to Portland for the hometown date. I prefer the term precious.
Long story short, while it was such a fun experience to meet Ben and Lauren and the families that raised them, it was even more fun to spend an evening with these ladies laughing the night away while learning about a really awesome youth club that supports hundreds of kids on a weekly basis. All in all it was one of the better nights of 2016 and I will forever be team Bauren, regardless if that wedding invite ever shows up or not [Ben and Lauren if you are reading, firstname.lastname@example.com – hit me up ;)]

September 2017 Program - What PMs Need to Know
September Dinner Program
We're doing something new with September's Dinner Program. Not only are we bringing back FUSE Talks but we're following it up with a panel discussion.
What Project Managers Need to Know
Have you ever felt like the more you learn about Project Management, the more there is to learn? You are not alone. That's not a bad thing... as they say, the best teachers are students at heart – the same can be said of Project Managers – the best are those who are willing to learn and grow. At the heart of the PMICIC organization is a fervent desire to help Project Manager in the Central Indiana area know what they need to know and be able to do what they need to do - to be successful. As a lead up to our Professional Development Day event, we've brought back Fuse Talks for the September 21st Chapter Dinner, followed by a Question and Answer Panel with presenters.

I originally wrote my review on the wrong Hampton Inn -Sterling Heights - Ooops - I didn't know how to cancel it. Anyway, I am now re-writing it on the correct hotel. We stayed 2 nights and booked on hotwire and were not disappointed. We liked the location, close to the mall, costco and within walking distance, less than 10 minutes, to a grocery store, McDonald, Outback, Applebys and more. The room was clean, great duvet, and my husband was impressed by the panasonic flat screen. The staff were very friendly, including the housekeeping, front desk and breakfast area staff. The breakfast was typical of most hotel complimentary breakfasts but the eating area was constantly being kept clean and the breakfast employees made sure everyone was happy. The hotel had fresh baked cookies in the afternoon. We would stay here again if the opportunity arises and we would recommend.

The benefits of kayaking include: 1. Help build strength, flexibility and tone the body. 2. Help to reduce weight. 3. Provide a great source of stress release. 4. Help with mental and emotional feelings.
Kayaking is a low-impact exercise that is perfect to participate in the open sea, or on lakes or rivers. Plus, kayaking is an activity open to most and is fun on a vacation or as a competitive sport.
Benefits of kayaking
Specific health benefits of kayaking include:
- Great exercise to improve cardiovascular fitness
- Paddling action helps to increase muscle strength, especially in the region of the chest, shoulders, arms, and back
- Up leg and torso strength which results from the constant need to rotate the upper body and apply pressure using the legs
- Low impact activity that puts minimal pressure on the joints and tissues
- Hand and grip strength is enhanced by kayaking
- Kayakers have great heart strength and ability to pump blood through the system more efficiently
- A regular paddling session helps to improve mental health, confidence, and self-worth. Plus, the ability to tone the body means it's possible to feel better in relation to physical appearance
- Lean body muscle mass and low body fat are positives of a regular kayaking session
- The body's core strength is significantly improved
Get Fit
Kayaking is a recreational activity that is open to all fitness levels. Paddle sports make it possible to push the body as much as you want, from a relaxed paddle on a quiet river or lake to a more strenuous paddle on the open waters.
Ability and speed can vary greatly with the pursuit in recreational or competitive kayaking. Whether it is light paddling or more competitive, it is still a great form of exercise to improve the all-round well being.
Even if quite fit and actively involved in other sports, kayak gives the opportunity to engage muscle groups that aren't so frequently used in mainstream sporting events.
Kayaking is that much more enjoyable if able to get properly prepared before entering the water – this helps both physically and mentally. A proper warm up routine and a positive mind-set is certain to help minimize issues with underperformance or potential injury.
Long-term enjoyment of kayaking is possible when able to listen to the body and able to match the form or duration of paddling to the physical condition.
General tips for a safer kayaking experience
Here are several health and safety tips to help stay safe in the open waters:
- Sign up for lessons (and first-aid course) from an experienced club or instructor
- Only paddling in water that matches the skill level and preparation
- Use waters that make it easy to be visible to others
- Wear a life jacket or helmet with fluorescent or reflective tape
- Make sure to carry (and preferably wear) a personal floatation device (PFD)
- Prepare for a planned trip (consider wave or tidal action, currents, water temperature, air temperature, etc.)
- Get a weather report on the day of the trip
- Kayak with a companion
- Let someone at home know the intended location, course, and time of return.
- Wear clothes to match the conditions. Use sunscreen with 30+ SPF or more on areas of exposed skin
- Pack enough fresh drinking water to match the duration of the paddling adventure
- Maintain the condition of the kayak and related equipment

Corelab Seminar

Reliable Communication Despite Limited Knowledge
As communication networks grow in size, they become increasingly vulnerable to component failures. These networks consist of numerous interacting entities (agents). Since distributed systems have become popular and widely used in contemporary networking, the provided solutions need to cope with erroneous and malicious components in the underlying communication network. Security and reliability issues that arise have been objects of extensive research in the fields of Secure Multiparty Computations and Distributed Computing. In our work we contribute to the realization of fundamental communication primitives (Reliable Broadcast and Reliable Message Transmission) in an adversarial distributed environment, by investigating the impact of the network structure and the agents' topology knowledge level on the achievability of these tasks. We consider a worst-case (Byzantine) adversary, which makes the agents misbehave arbitrarily,
Initially, we consider the t-locally bounded adversary model, introduced in 2004 by Koo, where a fixed upper bound on the number of corruptions in each agent's neighborhood is imposed. We explore the tradeoff between the level of topology knowledge and the solvability of the problem by developing a versatile technique which allows us to obtain impossibility results for every level of topology knowledge. Checking the necessary conditions for the solvability of the problem proves to be NP-hard but along the way we obtain an efficient 2-approximation algorithm for the ad hoc case (where agents only know their local neighborhood). On the positive, we generalize the algorithmic idea behind the simple, yet powerful Certified Propagation Algorithm (CPA), also introduced by Koo in 2004, and propose algorithms, that match the obtained bounds (unique algorithms) in every case. Thus, we exactly characterize the classes of graphs in which reliable communication is possible with respect to topology knowledge. In order to achieve these we introduced the Partial Knowledge Model in which each agent knows a part of the network, namely a connected subgraph containing itself. As a part of the latter contribution, we manage to settle an open question of Pelc and Peleg (2005) in the affirmative, by showing that in ad hoc networks, CPA is unique, that is, it can tolerate as many local corruptions as any other Broadcast algorithm.
Furthermore, we manage to generalize our results in the General Adversary model of Hirt and Maurer (1997), which subsumes earlier models by adapting our techniques and algorithms from the t-locally bounded model. Thus, we devise the first optimally resilient algorithms for Reliable Broadcast/Message transmission under restricted knowledge and general adversaries. Finally, we propose the poly-time uniqueness algorithmic property, which implies that an algorithmic scheme is as efficient as any other for a certain problem with respect to polynomial time. We prove our proposed scheme to be poly-time unique in the ad hoc case. To obtain our latter results we employ, among others, a novel notion of joining operation on adversary structures, appropriate notions of separators in unreliable networks, and a self-reducibility property of the RMT problem.

There is a little bit of everything going on here today. A little clean-up from the projects I finished last week for the 101 Patchwork Projects submission deadline. My worktable gets so bad at times that I have layers of projects out and I can't see them anymore.
Then, I will be working on finishing my Copper and Cornflowers project. I can't decide if I will submit this to Art Quilting Studio or Cloth Paper Scissors. I'll have to decide once completed. I know they are going to turn out fabulous and I want to hang them up!!
What is also nice about this weekend is the hour gained. It's like a gift - one more hour to clean, organize and relax (if you can fit all that into one hour LOL).
Happy Fall!!!!

How to win tomorrow
Hi, I'm Filip Muyllaert and it's my mission to find an answer to the question: how can leaders and organisations future-proof themselves today for the business context of tomorrow?
As an idea curator, I read magazines, blogs and over 100 books per year: from the future of artificial intelligence to endurance techniques of Japanese marathon monks. We all know that books, magazines and blogs speak volumes. However, in this world of data overload, people do not always have the time to read them, analyze the content and find meaning amongst the noise. It's my ambition to synthesize valuable content, find the connections and understand the dynamics that will help you, your organisation and society to win tomorrow. Along my idea explorations, I will speak about insights worth sharing. Insights that will open you up to some new thinking!
If you want to recommend me a books, blogs or magazines, just tweet me your suggestions @filipmuyllaert with #HowToWinTomorrow. Thanks and I'm really looking forward to being inspired and consequently inspiring you!

Soul Food
Lately I've been discovering what my "soul food" is. I know that most people think of fried chicken and mac and cheese when they think of soul food, but that's not my definition. In my opinion, soul food is good old fashioned home-cooked goodness that reminds you of home. I think of the food that I grew up eating and that takes me back to my roots. I remember steamed veggies, snapper, seared tuna, red potatoes, shrimp pasta, salmon and Greek salads. This is what soul food means to me. I don't know where I lost my love for soul food along the way, but I am enjoying getting it back. Here are some pics of the soul food I've been cooking lately. I stocked my fridge with all of my favorite soul foods and I have had so much fun cooking back to my roots! Veggies cooked in olive oil, grilled chicken and beans, wheat bagels with low-fat cream cheese (ok, so that's not really cooking, but I have learned that if I have groceries in my house that I love to splurge on, I don't go out and binge on restaurant food near as much!), Grilled cheese, turkey, tomato and avocado sandwiches, chicken sausage with fresh peppers and homemade sweet potato fries! P.S. I've lost 2 more pounds :)

I still remember those November nights when Granny and I curled up next to the fire and she would start to fantasize. She was a storyteller, Granny, her dream was to write them down and make the world fall asleep with her twisted phrases in mind. And every night, she would go to the little table, after putting me in bed, and write each one of them down, remembering every word she had pronounced an hour before.
One of those, I remember, it talked about a very special company having a tea party.
"They were women, you see, all dressed up nicely, chatty tell tales trying to impress a world just as wonky as themselves.
Oh! They where made of all sorts of things and looked even more peculiar then a tiger with a moustache and thinking of it, one of them used one as a bow. They where mixtures of animals and objects, it seemed like, but yet again of the most unusual sort. Some had door handles as hands or noses, or bobby pins as eyelashes! Peacock feather hair and leopard skin as tongues

Having directed the City of Dearborn Heights corporation counsel to put together an ordinance that expired on or about November 30th, 2016 that granted him the right to,
- Retire and stay in office.
- Collect his pension and a full salary 'unlike others a few years back who took an early out received their pension and stayed working for the City at a reduced salary.'
This ordinance expired and is no longer offered to employees of Dearborn Heights. The 'Pension Ordinance' crafted by the Mayor did benefit two other employees of the City only after the Mayor approached them according to what some are saying over at City Hall. The Mayor is now set to collect $130,000.00 a year or there about between salary and pension unlike union employees who pay into their pensions Double Dipping Dan hasn't paid into his pension. Why would he not run?
Having cleared out his campaign fund and sending over $20,000.00 to Main Street Strategies some are saying to prepay for the upcoming 2017 election. The Mayor used these same Public Relations Counselors against Janet Badalow when she ran for Mayor against him. Money well spent by our Mayor no doubt he won. Mayor Double Dipping Dan Paletko won that election even with a deficit, and Headlee Override that residents are still paying for.
Former state rep candidate gets lopsided settlement in defamation lawsuit
Strategist agrees to apologize for robocall against Macomb politician accused of taking 'dirty pictures'
What Has Double Dipping Dan Brought To The Residents?
- Headlee Override.
- Closed City Down One Day A Week.
- Outsourcing of Assessor.
- Push to outsource 911 dispatch.
- Push on trash hauler to Rizzo -no backup plan.
- A Deficit of $5.2 million.
- Spend down of a $10 million rainy day fund.
- Elderly and Disabled not identified before new trash cans bought.
- Use of Taxpayer money for a party by invitation only, for select City Council members.
- Over-charging residents for years on the CSO.
- Outdated website.
- No use of social media
- Employee illegally hired and moved from one department to another for a year.
- Over-spending of the NSP program.
- Use of Water Fund money for a private property project .
- No tracking of City Used Vehicles by City Employees.
- No tracking of fuel consumption by DPW.
- IT contract given to one company for years and not going out for bid.
- Not hiring a professional Grant Writer.
- Allowing his assistant to negotiate Union Contracts for years that directly benefit them.
- No Vector Control.
- Use of Corporation Counsel to create a new department to keep an employee illegally hired by the Mayor.
- Pension Ordinance that benefited himself.
- No, public check registry even though promised years ago.
- Little to no transparency.
There is more but I think enough to start with.

Find info concerning Pittsburg State University tax preparation, and registering for elective lectures. Which college degrees give you the best chances of finding employment after graduation? Locate accredited business management programs online. Combined with a brief internship or prior office experience, you can expect a great return on your business education. Concentrating on Pittsburg State University tax preparation, for example, you may gain an advantage in corporate recruiting being done on-campus. Check with the tax planning department for course registration deadlines, and taxation program requirements. Please use the form above to request admissions info for Pittsburg State University.
The average entry-level salary in public accounting is over $60,500 per year, and given five to ten years of job experience, you can expect to earn up to $90,000 annually. Accounting salaries are higher in the private sector as compared to government jobs, and higher again if employed at one of the Big 4 accounting firms such as PricewaterhouseCoopers, Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu, Ernst & Young, and KPMG. Budget analysts prepare budget reports and monitor institutional spending, while cost estimators collect and analyze accounting data. A certified public accountant (CPA) may utilize these reports in preparing summaries for managerial accounting purposes, as well as in tax filings and SEC reporting.
The income statement shows revenues, expenses, gains, and losses, but it does not include cash receipts nor cash disbursements. Revenues from primary activities are often referred to as operating revenues. The primary activities of a business are purchasing merchandise or raw materials and selling products, referred to as sales revenues or simply gross sales. Non-operating revenues, on the other hand, are earnings that fall outside of purchasing and selling goods and services. For example, when a retail business earns interest on some of its idle cash, or sells an commodity investment for a capital gain, these items are reported on the income statement in a separate section. Beyond major requirements within the tax planning department, you may consider University at Buffalo holiday schedule 2017 as a complementary elective to your primary course of study.

Doing business online is one of your best options to raise extra income. Success is governed by two main factors, visitor traffic and sales conversions. How many of the right people can you attract to your site, and how many of those people can you persuade to take a given action? There's no rent to pay when starting a business online, unless you count yearly domain name registration and monthly website hosting, both of which are minor. Basically, you need to register a domain name describing the type of business you want to start, and then build the website using a template in HTML, adding a database and programming routines as needed.
Just making a website isn't enough, if no-one can find it on Google, Yahoo, Bing, or Baidu, which collectively account for 94% of all searches. You'll then need online marketing skills, and the ability to drive conversions. To get valid incoming links, write some more articles, and submit to article hubs, or post on Facebook and Google Sites, with 3 to 4 links on each page that deep-link to your own website pages, not just to your homepage. Beyond major requirements within the software development department, you may consider Lafayette College SAT requirements as a complementary elective to your primary course of study.

Years of Doctored Data, Video and Photos Disclosed to Congress
By Gordon Duff, Senior Editor
Discussions of alien moon bases and videos of structures on the dark side of the moon aren't new. That congress is investigating, not only the bases themselves but three decades or more of continually doctored data from NASA and defense space projects is news.
Last week, an unusual story was published by World News Tomorrow, alleging that crop circles were created by energy weapons in orbit, systems that were hacked.
World News Tomorrow is not a simple internet news site. We know better. The video below is from Disclose TV and is claimed to be from a Chinese satellite orbiting the moon. Other sources claim that NASA is the source:
An article at DarkGovernment.com this week discussed some issues the press had been banned from covering:
According to many researchers of Lunar and Martian space agency images, photos revealing artifacts and structures are routinely modified by NASA higher-ups.
In NASA Trick To Remove Alien Evidence From Moon, Mars Revealed insiders Ken Johnston and Donna Hare accuse the space agency of "ordering a cover-up of photographic evidence," and that "NASA doctored, obfuscated, and obscured thousands of photos over the years."
Part of the process involves a neutral filter allowing moving objects to be removed. Some photographic experts, however, argue that the same software can be tweaked to filter out objects anomalous to a landscape.
Future space images—or even some of the most damning from the past—could be subjected to the process. The result would be images bereft of any embarrassing or controversial objects that may be littering the Lunar or Martian landscapes.
And then there's the publication, The Canadian that reports: "Dr. Micheal Salla has indicated that there is a Military Industrial Extraterrestrial Complex or MIEC, and that Earth is being assimilated by an alien agenda which also operates on Earth's Moon."
Hannard claims he received an image from "a source" who, in part, claimed: "China will be releasing [high resolution] images taken by the Chang'e-2 Moon orbiter, which clearly show buildings and structures on the Moon's surface.
"China will be releasing all the data and images from the Chang'e-2 in the coming weeks and months, lets hope this is the beginning of a new era."
Government obfuscation has reached epic proportions of late. NASA sources have indicated that, next month, Earth faces a "near miss" or possible catastrophic asteroid collision, they aren't certain yet.
Sources tell us that the issue is not that we have failed to adequately track or prepare for a 150 foot asteroid passing inside our geosynchronous satellites but that the cause of the threat itself is being withheld, a collision within the asteroid belt by what NASA describes as a "rogue planet."
With recent "slam dunk" proof of UFO videos and "slam dunk" of purposefully made phony UFO videos of extremely high quality and great expense, along with cracking the satellite bloc on Area 51 and other "black sites," and finding large triangular craft there, the charade cannot continue much longer.
Congress put out 6000 pages on torture recently, internal consumption only. The report totally debunks the bin Laden murder film, "Zero Dark 30," which depicts the "rekilling" of the long dead bin Laden, a top level CIA asset in good standing at the time of his death.
The report, if released, would lead to the indictment of thousands of Americans for war crime.
If "torture" has generated 6000 pages, what might the 500 witnesses and years of secret hearings over, not just UFOs and alien bases but secret weapon technologies and "exo-politics," how large a report are "we" sitting on?
Would it fill a room, a library?
Who does keeping so much secret serve?

I've seen a UFO five times in the last year in my rural state. Not the usual triangle shape either, looks like a bright star or planet, but it moves. Usually slowly, but not always and it's close to the ground, below the cloud cover, estimate 10 miles away using triangulation against a nearby structure.
It's very clearly doing surveillance of some kind.

text: Guangdong gets pay-out after Typhoon Haima struck Swiss Re is going to make its first payout to Guangdong province under a pilot reinsurance program following the destructive aftermath of Typhoon Haima last week. The pilot program covers seven prefectures in Guangdong province. Guangdong is China's most populous economic hub, and is covered against the financial effects of the risk of natural catastrophes. Under the agreement, Swiss Re will cover the province for losses up to $350 million from tropical cyclones and excessive rainfall. Guangdong has heavy exposure to natural catastrophes and accounts for more than $1 trillion of China's total GDP. Swiss Re developed the pilot program in partnership with local insurers led by the People's Insurance Company of China (PICC) in response to the Chinese government's efforts to set up a natural catastrophe insurance system. The initiative will be adjusted and renewed every year. Martyn Parker, chairman of Swiss Re Global Partnerships, said, "A major disaster is not just devastating for the lives and livelihoods of local people, but is also likely to affect the longer-term economy of the region. Guangdong's move to put measures in place before disasters strike has already proven its worth." John Chen, Swiss Re's head of reinsurance China and China country president, also noted, " The strong partnership between the government, PICC, and Swiss Re has been pivotal in delivering this innovative scheme. We hope the Guangdong and Heilongjiang models will also serve to benefit other provinces in China."

PESC 2016 at hand
Last year our very own Shakiru Akinyemi aka the Shakmellon was at PESC'15. He filed this tastefully detailed report that almost captured everything that was said at the event. We are especially excited about PESC because we believe entrepreneurship can eliminate poverty from the continent. High Performance in entrepreneurship can definitely do even more. We have to have entrepreneurs but we have to have results producing high performing entrepreneurs who can take us to the next level. PESC is promising in this regard.
There are many entrepreneurship events in town these days. But they are not all the same. For any event like this one to be useful, two factors must be considered. Content; what is being said and who is saying it. The second is structure; how has the event been organized and how is it being delivered—this influences participant experience. The participant must leave feeling inspired and eager to start something.

Party Pick of the Week: Rump Shaker
The Spice Girls
Timothy Norris
1710 Las Palmas, Hlywd., Fri., Oct. 4, 10 p.m.-2 a.m., $5 admission; 18 and older
The '90s are officially retro. For real this time! Some clubs tried to make it happen before, but it finally seems to have that pop! pow! wow! factor. The Spice Girls and 'N Sync now are the so-called classics that 20-somethings grew up with, and this guilty-pleasure dance dreck again sounds fresh to us -- in spite of our otherwise impeccably good taste!

Bruce Perdew (known best for Goth grinders like Perversion and Helter Skelter and the '80s retro night Blue Monday, which is, like, Lawrence Welk to millennials) has a new one called Rump Shaker happening at Premiere. It promises to celebrate everything from "No Doubt & Nine Inch Nails to Dr. Dre & the Spice Girls." Phew!
If this party takes off, it will only be a matter of time until the next flashback dance-party sensation kicks the '90s to the curb: the auto-tuned body rock and hip-hop pop-slop of the aughts. Miley Cyrus is the new Madonna -- or is that the new Britney? We feel old, and for once we're OK with that.

The Eastern Cape, lying on the southeastern South African coast, is a region of great natural beauty, particularly the rugged cliffs, rough seas and dense green bush of the stretch known as the Wild Coast.
Compiled by Mary Alexander
The Eastern Cape's diverse climates and landscapes range from the dry and desolate Great Karoo to the lush forests of the Wild Coast and the Keiskamma Valley, the fertile Langkloof, renowned for its rich apple harvests, and the mountainous southern Drakensberg region around the town of Elliot.
The province's main feature is its spectacular coastline, lapped by the temperate Indian Ocean. With long stretches of unspoilt sandy beaches, rocky coves, secluded lagoons and towering cliffs, the coast is the province's main tourist attraction.
Lying in Algoa Bay is Port Elizabeth, the largest city and an important harbour. Other major towns include:
- Bhisho, the capital
- East London, which has produced some of South Africa's greatest sporting heroes – cricketers Makhaya Ntini and Mark Boucher, Formula 1 champion Jody Sheckter, featherweight boxing world champion Vuyani Bunu, and many more.
- Uitenhage, which has important motor vehicle manufacturing industries
- King William's Town, birthplace of struggle hero Steve Biko
- Grahamstown, home of Rhodes University and host of South Africa's internationally acclaimed National Arts Festival
- Mthatha, former capital of the Transkei "homeland" and home to the Nelson Mandela Museum
- Graaff-Reinet, South Africa's fourth-oldest colonial settlement and birthplace of Robert Sobukwe, founder of the Pan Africanist Congress
- Port St Johns, the largest town on the Wild Coast
Eastern Cape: quick facts
- Capital: Bhisho
- Major city: Port Elizabeth in Nelson Mandela Bay
- Languages: 78.8% isiXhosa, 10.6% Afrikaans, 5.6% English
- Population: 6 562 053 (Census 2011)
- Share of total South African population: 12.7%
- Area: 168 966 square kilometres
- Share of total SA area: 13.9%
Eastern Cape: the land and its people
At 168 966 square kilometres, the Eastern Cape is roughly the size of Uruguay. It's the country's second-largest province after the Northern Cape, taking up 13.9% of South Africa's land area and with a population of around 6.5-million people.
The majority of the people speak isiXhosa, followed by Afrikaans and English.
In the Eastern Cape, various floral habitats meet. The long curve of coastline, large area and the considerable east-west and north-south distances it covers give the province extremely varied vegetation.
Along the coast, the northern tropical forests intermingle with the more temperate woods of the south, creating an interesting forest habitat of various species endemic to this region. Ancient forests are found around Keiskammahoek, Dwesa, Port St Johns and Bathurst, dune forests near Alexandria, and mangroves along the Wild Coast.
Rolling grasslands dominate the eastern interior of the province, while the western central plateau is savanna bushveld. The northern inland is home to the aromatic, succulent-rich Karoo habitat.
The metropolitan economies of Port Elizabeth and East London are based primarily on manufacturing, the most important being automotive manufacturing. The province is the hub of South Africa's motor industry.
Volkswagen South Africa and the Ford Motor Company of Southern Africa have manufacturing plants in the Eastern Cape, while General Motors South Africa and Daimler, through its subsidiary Mercedes Benz South Africa, have assembly plants in the province.
With two harbours and four airports offering direct flights to the main centres, and an excellent road and rail infrastructure, the province has been earmarked as a key area for growth and economic development.
There are two industrial development zones: the West Bank in East London and Coega, near Port Elizabeth – a massive infrastructure development, it includes the multimillion-rand deepwater Port of Ngqura.
Other important sectors include renewables and green industries, forestry and timber processessing, pharmaceuticals, plastics and chemicals, capital goods and tourism.
Agriculture, fishing and forestry
There is much fertile land in the Eastern Cape, and agriculture is important. The fertile Langkloof Valley in the southwest has enormous deciduous fruit orchards, while sheep farming predominates in the Karoo.
The Alexandria-Grahamstown area produces pineapples, chicory and dairy products, while coffee and tea are cultivated at Magwa. People in the former Transkei region are dependent on cattle, maize and sorghum-farming. An olive nursery has been developed in collaboration with the University of Fort Hare to form a nucleus of olive production in the Eastern Cape.
There is excellent potential for forestry – the coastal areas receive good summer rainfall and have a moderate climate, becoming more subtropical to the north-west. The Tsitsikamma National Park on the southern border is home to dense indigenous forest.
The basis of the province's fishing industry is squid, some recreational and commercial fishing for line fish, the collection of marine resources, and access to line-catches of hake.
