From 2008-2017, Black people were 72 percent more likely to have been hit and killed by a driver than people of other races, according to a new report entitled "Dangerous by Design" issued by Smart Growth America and the National Complete Streets Coalition.
And Florida is the deadliest state in America for pedestrians. The report ranks U.S. metropolitan areas for the top 20 highest (worst) "Pedestrian Danger Index" ratings. Of the 20 worst metropolitan areas to walk in, nine are in the Sunshine State, with the Orlando-Kissimmee-Sanford metroplex listed as the deadliest area in the country for pedestrians.
Deltona-Daytona Beach-Ormond Beach is No.2 on the list; Palm Bay-Melbourne-Titusville is No. 3; North Port-Sarasota-Bradenton, No. 4; Lake
land-Winter Haven, No. 5; Jacksonville, No. 6; Cape Coral-Fort Myers, No. 8; Tampa-St. Petersburg-Clearwater, No. 9; and Miami-Fort Lauderdale-West Palm Beach, No. 14.
The 20 states with the highest Pedestrian Danger Index ratings are Florida, Alabama, Delaware, Louisiana, Mississippi, Georgia, New Mexico, Texas, Arizona, South Carolina, Nevada, Tennessee, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Arkansas, California, Missouri, Maryland, Michigan, and Kentucky.
The report also concludes that American Indians were three times as likely to be killed. Lower-income neighborhoods saw a higher share of pedestrian deaths.
Won't stop for Blacks?
More dangerous roads are located near communities of color and implicit bias may play a role in the increased danger, according to the study. Research by the University of Nevada has shown that drivers are significantly more likely to yield to a White pedestrian in a crosswalk than to a Black pedestrian.
"Too often,
"Strong policies are needed that will allow landscape architects to continue to put good street design to work to reduce unnecessary risks and make sure our transportation systems equitably serve all Americans. As cities begin the process of rebuilding and reimagining our decaying urban infrastructure, pedestrian safety must be among our highest priorities."
Thousands dead
Over the past decade (2008-2017), the number of people struck and killed by drivers nationwide while walking increased 35 percent, even as overall traffic fatalities have been trending downward. In fact, 2016 and 2017, the most recent years with available data, were the two highest years for pedestrian deaths since 1990. During the ten-year period, 49,340 people were hit and killed by drivers, an equivalent of 13 people a day.
"We are killing an airliner's worth of people walking each and every month, and these numbers are only increasing," explained Emiko Atherton, director of the National Complete Streets Coalition, a program of Smart Growth America. "This is a wake-up call for all of us.
"No one should have to risk their life just to cross the street, yet that's exactly what thousands of people have to do just to get around each day. The good news is that we have the tools and know-how to fix this, but until we truly prioritize the safety of the most vulnerable people who use our streets, we will continue to see this preventable epidemic continue."
Few crosswalks, wide lanes
Many places still lack the most basic safe infrastructure for walking. For example, crosswalks, if they do exist at all, are often spaced so far apart as to be impractical, or don't provide enough time for older adults to safely cross. Unnecessarily wide lanes encourage high speeds ‒ a major factor in the likelihood of surviving a collision ‒ and many streets are designed with wide turning lanes that allow cars to make right turns through crosswalks at high speeds.
The report calls on states, localities, and the federal government to make improving pedestrian safety an urgent priority and identifies 10 actions that can save lives. Smart Growth America is asking the public to sign a petition for elected officials.
The authors urge Congress to adopt a strong, federal "Complete Streets" policy that requires state departments of transportation and metropolitan planning organizations to plan for all people who use the street, including the most vulnerable users. Federal transportation funding that is up for reauthorization next year will have a major impact on whether this public health epidemic is addressed or allowed to continue unabated.

By MICHAEL POH
With all the publicity on employees getting fired over wall posts on Facebook, the last thing you'd expect to hear from the popular social networking site is that it can help boost your career.
True enough, posting about work on Facebook can bring about negative and serious consequences to office politics. We should always be tactful when it comes to voicing out our opinions and grievances in a public domain.
Nevertheless, the opposite can also happen.
Social networking sites like Facebook can give you an edge in your career if you use it to connect with co-workers and clients the proper way. Of course, it very much depends on your office culture and other factors.
Here are some suggestions on how you can potentially make good use of social media to impress your colleagues, bosses and clients to possibly land you in a better position at work.
'Friend' people from work
Many of us avoid adding our bosses, colleagues or clients into our social network for fear that they would have access to our personal posts and details.
We do that because we want to have some level of privacy to be able to post with greater ease, especially when it comes to our gripes about work.
Well, you can see that Facebook is a double-edged sword. You'll need to grant access to people from your work before you can use it for posts that'll impress them.
If you play the game well, then your career might get that boost it is lacking from your other efforts at work. If you post things that might inadvertently offend people from work, your chances are greatly reduced.
Moral of the story? Be mindful of what you post.
Forming the connections with your bosses, colleagues and clients is just the first step. If you're worried about them having access to your personal photo albums and status updates, don't worry.
Facebook now has more personalised and in-depth privacy settings that enable users to decide who can see what posts.
Connect with work-life balance
As much as you want people from work to think that you are a workaholic who is passionate about what you do, it is not advisable to post everything about work.
Or worse, to post everything positive about it, and about how much you really love your work. It would come across as trying too hard.
In any case, you will definitely need to connect with them on a personal level. Show them what you really are as a person on social media. Show them that you do have a life outside of work.
Some of us believe that work and personal life are separate entities, and that the way we relate to people at work may be vastly different from our relationships with our friends and family.
However, I would think that our personality in these two aspects should be quite aligned so that people would not see you as someone with a split, or inconsistent personality.
This, I believe, is an important ingredient for trust to occur.
Networking opportunity
As with all other social networking platforms, Facebook gives you the perfect opportunity to expand your network.
Co-workers from other departments may not know you on a personal level in the office, but this relationship can deepen when you add them onto your social network. You can then attempt to chat, play games, share interesting posts and explore hobbies via mutual "likes".
What do all these translate to?
Firstly, you would improve your social life in the office. Having more friends around would probably keep you going when times get tough.
After all, these friends are also colleagues who work in the same organisation, so there's no one else better who would understand what you may be facing.
Secondly, networking gets you to places. It is particularly important to build strong networks within the organisation if you're climbing the ladder. Why?
One of the most crucial reasons is that it will get you noticed. If you can establish friendships with at least one person from each department of your company, these friends may recommend you to their bosses should they need a replacement.
Another significant reason is that knowing someone from every department would likely make your work easier if inter-departmental collaboration is needed.
Getting updates
You need to keep in contact to maintain any relationship. The advantage that Facebook has over offline networking is that you get updates from friends, be it in the form of status updates or photo uploads.
This makes it easier to keep yourself informed on what's going on in their lives before you interact with them.
Essentially, getting updates from your bosses, colleagues and clients keeps you in the know on what they're up to before they actually tell you in person.
Sometimes, they may not even want to tell you directly. You can then seize the opportunity to respond to what they have just posted and make a lasting impression.
At other times, this simply provides you the information to initiate a conversation and maintain the relationship with them on a regular basis.
For instance, if your client posted something regarding his/her need to engage some services, you can step in and offer help by either offering your expertise or just recommending some people you know.
That way, you cultivate the trust and can even expect your client to consult you in the near future. You can even add in potential clients to your network so that you can actually "recruit" them when their posts give out signs that they might require your services.
Showcasing your expertise
Whatever industry you are in, you can use social media as a platform to demonstrate your passion, vision and opinions you may have about your work.
Given that you've added a range of work contacts, it is now more convenient and appropriate to give your two cents' worth and project yourself as a competent leader, team player or a reliable consultant, whichever you think would bring you closer to your career goals.
Take note though, that there's a fine line between showcasing and being a show-off. The key is to not let others perceive you as trying too hard.
Post something about what you think or feel about your work every now and then, but don't let all your posts revolve around it.
Remember to stay humble and not post things that make you sound like you are right and others are wrong.
Just let your posts be as neutral as possible and keep an open mind about whatever comments that may come in. All the best!

Directus 6.4 CMS is a powerful, flexible, free, and open source Headless Content Management System (CMS) that provides developers with a simple and intuitive web interface for managing database content with completely custom architectures. Traditional CMS is built as closed platforms specifically for quickly deploying and managing websites; typically simple sites and blogs. However, today's content is consumed by a much wider range of applications including complex web platforms, native apps, wearables, kiosks, IoT devices, and other data-driven projects.
Directus 6.4 Headless CMS allows content to be managed independently from the place it will be used. By decoupling and authoring application-agnostic content, both developers and non-technical clients gain the freedom to manage and interact with content or even raw Native App data through intuitive and safe interfaces.
In this tutorial, we will show you how to install Directus 6.4 CMS on an Ubuntu 16.04 LAMP VPS using Apache web server, PHP 7.0, and a MariaDB database.
- A clean DreamVPS Ubuntu 16.04 server instance with SSH access
Step 1: Add a Sudo User
Start by adding a new sudo user.
First, log into your server as root.
ssh [email protected]_VULTR_IP_ADDRESS
Add a new user called 'user' (or your preferred username).
adduser user1
When prompted, enter a secure and memorable password. You will also be prompted for your 'Full Name' and some other details, however, you can simply leave them blank by pressing 'Enter'.
Now check the '/etc/sudoers' file to make sure that the 'sudoers' group is enabled.
Look for a section like the following.
%sudo ALL=(ALL:ALL) ALL
This line tells you that users who are members of the 'sudo' group can use the 'sudo' command to gain root privileges. It will be uncommented by default so you can simply exit the file.
Next you need to add user1 to the sudo group.
usermod -aG sudo user1
You can verify the 'user1' group membership and check that the 'usermod' command worked with the groups command.
groups user1
Now use the 'su' command to switch to the new sudo user user1 account.
su - user1
The command prompt will update to indicate that you are now logged into the 'user1' account. You can verify this with the 'whoami' command.
Now restart the 'sshd' service so that you can login via ssh with the new non-root sudo user account you have just created.
sudo systemctl restart sshd
Exit the 'user1' account:
Exit the root account (which will disconnect your ssh session).
You can now ssh into the server instance from your local host using the new non-root sudo user user1 account.
ssh [email protected]_VULTR_IP_ADDRESS
If you want to execute sudo without having to type a password every time, open the '/etc/sudoers' file again using visudo.
sudo visudo
Edit the section for the sudo group so that it looks like the below.
%sudo ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL
Please note: Disabling the password requirement for the sudo user is not a recommended practice, however, it is included here as it can make server configuration much more convenient and less frustrating, especially during longer systems administration sessions. If you are concerned about the security implications, you can always revert the configuration change to the original after you finish your administration tasks.
Whenever you want to log into the root user account from within the sudo user account, you can use one of the following commands.
sudo -i
sudo su -
You can exit the root account and return back to your sudo user account any time by simply typing the below.
Step 2: Update Ubuntu 16.04 System
Before installing any packages on the Ubuntu server instance, first, update the system.
Make sure you are logged in to the server using a non-root sudo user and run the following commands.
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get -y upgrade
Step 3: Install Apache Web Server
Install the Apache web server.
sudo apt-get -y install apache2
Then use the 'systemctl' command to start and enable Apache to execute automatically at boot time.
sudo systemctl enable apache2
sudo systemctl start apache2
Check your Apache default site configuration file to ensure that the DocumentRoot directive points to the correct directory.
sudo vi /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default.conf
The DocumentRoot configuration option will look like this:
DocumentRoot "/var/www/html"
We now need to enable the 'mod_rewrite' Apache module, so ensure that your Apache default site configuration file is still open and add the following Directory Apache directives before the closing: '</VirtualHost>' tag. This means that the end of your configuration file looks something like this.
<Directory /var/www/html/> Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews AllowOverride All Order allow,deny allow from all </Directory> </VirtualHost>
The most important directive shown above is 'AllowOverride All'.
Now save and exit the file, and enable the 'mod_rewrite' Apache module.
sudo a2enmod rewrite
You will restart Apache at the end of this tutorial, however restarting Apache regularly during installation and configuration is certainly a good habit, so let's do it now.
sudo systemctl restart apache2
Step 4: Install PHP 7.0
You can now install PHP 7.0 along with all of the necessary PHP modules needed by Directus CMS.
sudo apt-get -y install php php-gd php-mbstring php-common php-mysql php-imagick php-xml libapache2-mod-php php-curl php-tidy php-zip
Step 5: Install MySQL Server
Install the MySQL database server.
sudo apt-get -y install mysql-server
During the MySQL server installation, make sure you enter a secure password for the MySQL root user. This root user is different to the root user in Ubuntu as it is only used for connecting to your database server with full privileges.
Start and enable the MySQL server to execute automatically at boot time.
sudo systemctl enable mysql
sudo systemctl start mysql
Secure your MySQL server installation.
sudo mysql_secure_installation
When prompted, enter the password you created for the MYSQL root user during installation. Simply answer 'Y' to all of the other yes/no questions as the default suggestions are the most secure options.
Don't miss;
Step 6: Create Database for Directus CMS
Log into the MySQL shell as the MySQL root user by running the following command.
sudo mysql -u root -p
To access the MySQL command prompt, simply enter the MySQL root password when prompted.
Run the following queries to create a MySQL database and database user for Directus CMS.
CREATE DATABASE directus_db CHARACTER SET utf8 COLLATE utf8_general_ci;
CREATE USER 'directus_user'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'UltraSecurePassword';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON directus_db.* TO 'directus_user'@'localhost';
If you prefer, you can replace the database name 'directus_db' and username 'directus_user' with something more to your liking. Also, make sure that you replace 'UltraSecurePassword' with an actually secure password.
Step 7: Install Directus CMS Files
Change your current working directory to the default web directory.
cd /var/www/html/
If you get an error message saying something like 'No such file or directory' then try the following command.
cd /var/www/ ; sudo mkdir html ; cd html
Your current working directory will now be: '/var/www/html/'. You can check this with the 'pwd' (print working directory) command.
Now use 'wget' to download the Directus CMS installation package.
sudo wget https://github.com/directus/directus/releases/download/6.4.4/directus-build-6.4.4-20171120114156.zip
Please note: You should definitely check for the most recent version by visiting the Directus CMS download page.
List the current directory to check that you have successfully downloaded the file.
ls -la
Remove 'index.html'.
sudo rm index.html
Install unzip so you can unzip the file.
sudo apt-get -y install unzip
Now uncompress the zip archive.
sudo unzip directus-build-6.4.4-20171120114156.zip
Change ownership of the web files to avoid any permissions problems.
sudo chown -R www-data:www-data * ./
Restart Apache again.
sudo systemctl restart apache2
Now you are ready to move on to the final step.
Step 8: Complete Directus CMS Installation
It's time to visit the IP address of your server instance in your browser, or if you've already configured your Vultr DNS settings (and given it enough time to propagate) you can simply visit your domain instead.
To access the Directus CMS installation page, enter your Vultr instance IP address into your browser address bar, followed by '/installation/index.php'.
Most of the installation options are self-explanatory, however, here are a few pointers to help you along:
- Select your language and click on the Next button to continue.
- Enter an appropriate Project Name and Admin login details as shown below:
- PROJECT NAME: <project name>
- ADMIN EMAIL: <admin email>
- ADMIN PASSWORD: <admin password>
Click Next to continue.
- Now enter the following database values:
- DATABASE TYPE: MySQL/Percona
- HOST: localhost
- USER: directus_user
- PASSWORD: UltraSecurePassword
- DATABASE NAME: directus_db
- INITIAL SCHEMA: None Clean Database
Click Next to continue.
You will be presented with a pre-installation check page showing the options you selected and any problems the installer may have found. If you see an error with the 'mod_rewrite' module showing as uninstalled or disabled, when you have actually installed and enabled it, you can simply ignore the warning as everything will work just fine.
Once you have fixed any important issues and have verified that everything is working okay, simply click on 'Install' to finalize your installation.
Once the installation is complete, you will be redirected to the Admin login page. If you aren't redirected, you can enter the Admin login address manually.
For security reasons, make sure you delete the '/installation/' directory from the 'webroot' directory.
sudo rm -rf ./installation/
You are now ready to start adding your content and configuring your Headless CMS to work with your various apps. Make sure you check out the excellent Directus CMS documentation for more information about how to configure Directus CMS and link it to your different apps and frameworks.
Here are a few hand-picked guides for you to read next:

Artist Ann Sussman started thinking about doll houses when she found some long-abandoned promotional materials while cleaning out the attic of an antique house she was selling.
The materials, made by the Sunbeam Bread Co., were a series of paper-doll cutouts, and Sussman became intrigued by the campaign's intent to woo customers through the use of little narrative scenarios involving the paper dolls.
"It made me think about how playing with doll houses is not really about houses; it's about narrative, about the stories we tell ourselves as we move these little people around," Sussman said.
Sussman, who now lives in Concord and has studio space at a West Concord artists' collaborative, ArtScape at Bradford Mill, soon discovered that other artists she knew were interested in doll houses also.
Lisa Berland and her sister Laura, co-owners of a furniture restoration business called Retrocraft Design, even had a few in their inventory.
Sussman and the two Berlands have curated an exhibition called "The Doll House Show," now on display at the Bradford Mill complex. It includes contributions by eight other local artists who explore varied interpretations on the theme of doll houses.
The scenes in the exhibition are not all typical doll-house portrayals of idealized domesticity. One shows a pack-rat's house; another depicts a foreclosure. Among the contributing artists is painter Frank Mazzola Jr. of Wellesley, who was recruited for the exhibition with the intent of bringing in a male sensibility.
When the curators first approached him, said Mazzola, "I thought, doll houses? That's way out of my comfort zone. I didn't play with dolls as a kid; I played with GI Joes."
And then a light bulb went off as Mazzola made the connection: When he and the other neighborhood boys staged battles and retreats with their toy soldiers, it was perhaps not all that different from doll-house play after all. He created an oil painting called "First the Doll House, Then the Mill," in which a doll looks out from a window of a house surrounded by toy soldiers all taking aim, while a stuffed animal on the second floor sits next to a peace sign.
"That's the way we played as kids," Mazzola said. "I grew up during the Vietnam War, and my friends and I played at re-creating the scenes we saw on the evening news. As the only male artist in this show, I liked the idea of this somewhat contradictory interpretation of the theme."
One of the participants in the show, sculptor Kate Benson describes her typical work as "small architectural structures with interior scenes that reference doll houses.
"I choose to work in the miniature scale because it creates a familiar experience for most viewers, and it engages their curiosity as they peer through the viewpoints I have created," she said.
"I intentionally limit those opportunities and don't include figures in my work, as I want the spaces to inspire personal narratives and provoke questions about how people affect the spaces we occupy, physically and emotionally."
Lisa Berland said she believes that whether the scene is one of peaceful domesticity, upheaval, or even war, there's something inherently compelling about the world created by doll houses.
"It's fascinating to look at a little miniaturized environment," she said. "People have a natural desire to peek into another world. Doll houses are like having a pinhole view into a domestic scene. And that becomes a palette for the imagination, a chance to create a story about what's going on inside the house."
"The Doll House Show" is on exhibit in the second-floor gallery space at Bradford Mill, 33-43 Bradford St. in West Concord, through Aug. 28. Hours are weekdays, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
AT THE BANDSTAND: The Friends of the Shrewsbury Public Library will present a free bandstand concert by the Blackstone Valley Blue Grass Band on Thursday at 6 p.m. on the downtown common.
Picnicking and lawn chairs are encouraged. In the event of rain, the concert will be moved inside the Senior Center, 98 Maple Ave.
MUSICAL THEATER: Indian Hill Music School's Children's Summer Musical Theater, in partnership with ArtsNashoba, presents four fully staged performances of "Into the Woods Jr.," a version of Stephen Sondheim's fractured fairy tale featuring many familiar characters in unfamiliar situations.
The musical will be performed Friday at 7 p.m.; Saturday at 2 and 7 p.m.; and Sunday at 2 p.m. at 36 King St. in Littleton. In addition, a special performance for families with members on the autism spectrum or with special needs will take place on Friday at 11 a.m. Adjustments made for this free show include a "quiet room," specially trained staff on site, and wheelchair accessibility. Preregister for the special performance by e-mailing romy@ indianhillmusic.org or calling 978-486-9524, ext. 108.
Tickets to the other performances are $10, and can be ordered at 978-486-9524, ext. 116, or www.indianhillmusic.org.
A PLAY IN THE GARDEN: Two Paths Productions, an entirely student-run organization, is presenting "Figaro Gets Divorced," an original two-character play told from the perspective of a young woman coming to terms with her past and making decisions about her future.
Performances are Friday, Saturday, and Sunday at 7:30 p.m. at Garden in the Woods, 180 Hemenway Road in Framingham.
Tickets are $3 for adults, $1 for children. Go to www.twopathsproductions.com for more information.

Case Study: Wellness
The caller was a 36-year-old female who managed a 10-person sales team. She typically worked a 12-hour day and needed to make herself available on a 24-hour basis to meet her weekly and monthly sales targets. She felt she lacked the stamina needed to continue with this schedule and found it difficult to find the time to eat well or to exercise. She contacted a wellness coach for advice on improving her wellbeing.

HOUSTON – A family in Tomball said they have been waiting for a moving truck to arrive for more than 40 days.
Shaheen Goradawala said that the family hired the moving company Affordable Mover to transport their belongings when they moved from South Carolina to Houston.
Goradawala said that the company picked up the boxes on June 25 with the estimated delivery date set for July 1. The delivery date arrived but the truck never did.
"We don't have our office clothes, our laptop, our office equipment. We don't have anything," Goradawala said. "We just feel frustrated and cheated."
She said that company representatives will not give her an answer as to when the items will arrive.
"They just keep repeating that every week, til today we don't have a date when they are going to deliver. So it's just the same story," she said.
Channel 2 attempted to get in touch with Affordable Mover representatives on several occasions but could not get a response.
The family said they paid a service fee prior to the move.

The novel "The ingenious nobleman Don Quijote de la Mancha", by Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra, begins by saying: "In a place of La Mancha, whose name I do not want to remember, It was not long since a nobleman lived………". This ingenious but poor nobleman (a Duke) was called Alonso Quijano --but he was better known as "The gentleman of the sad figure"-- .
First part of the novel published in 1605
Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra
That place, whose name Miguel de Cervantes did not want to remember, was probably the village Argamasilla de Alba (Ciudad Real).

Another statue of Miguel de Cervantes in Argamasilla de Alba
But I would like to start this article saying: "In a place in La Mancha whose name I do want to remember ..., to continue with this article……". But later I will say what that place is, that I have chosen.
Don Quijote (Alonso Quijano) toured other villages of La Mancha --now Comunidad de Castilla-La Mancha--, with his horse, "Rocinante", and with the squire Sancho Panza.
It seems that Miguel de Cervantes locates the origin of Don Quijote in Argamasilla, because Cervantes was a prisoner in La Cueva del Medrano, located in that area and that was where Cervantes began to write the novel.
"Don Quijote de la Mancha" is considered the first modern novel and the one that demystified the chivalrous and courtesan tradition.
Topics such as justice, freedom, love, kindness, idealism and social criticism characterise a story full of humor, satire and parody. Don Quijote describes his ideal, as a knight-errant, in one of the most well-known fragments of the work: "They are my laws, to undo wrongs, to lavish good and to avoid evil. I flee from the gift of life, from ambition and hypocrisy, and I seek the narrowest and most difficult path, for my own glory ".
From that moment, he called Don Quijote de la Mancha himself, baptises his horse as Rocinante and falled madly in love with Aldonza Lorenzo, whom he called Dulcinea del Toboso. He hired a squire, Sancho Panza, and begins his adventure trips driven by kindness and the desire to help the most disadvantaged.

Sancho Panza
The most famous scene of Don Quijote taked place in Campo de Montiel, where he fighted against giants that were only windmills.
Windmills in Campo de Montiel or Campo de Criptana
Alonso Quijano went crazy, reading several cavalry books.
Cervantes conceived this novel, in its most external aspect, as a tool to ridicule the books of chivalry, whose genre, already surpassed at the time in which the great Spanish novelist lived, provoked particular aesthetic preventions in the author, who saw such works as absurd, implausible and written with a false and unnecessarily bombastic style.
This didactic position justifies the cruel and burlesque attitude adopted by Cervantes, imposing the character, in such a way to its parodic function, that takes the hand of its own creator making him proud to have given life and not forgiving, in the second part, to Avellaneda, to have wanted to usurp his paternity. By portraying, in his madness, the old hero of knightly adventures that fails outside of his environment and his world, the deep Cervantes humor resolves the situation with a real tragic feeling, that pulsates imperiously under the comic clothes of the novel. Don Quijote is the prototype of the good and noble man, who wants to impose his ideal over the social conventions and the baseness of everyday life, acting as a human redeemer of a prosaic reality that hurts and offends him every day, establishing himself champion of the purest essences of love, honor and justice.
His own pilgrimage, through the dusty roads of the land of La Mancha, between innkeepers, muleteers and henchmen, struggling with hard and mean reality, contributes to his deep human sympathy, even with his ambiguities and extravagances. Alonso Quijano, converted by his dreams into Don Quijote de la Mancha, is first and foremost a man of flesh and blood, and thus, and precisely by virtue of his own humanity, he penetrates the world of the universal and the symbolic. He was a peasant nobleman.
The story of Alonso Quijano begins when he was 50 years old. He had a strong complexion. He remembered a girl from El Toboso, whom he automatically turned into his Dulcinea, or lady of her thoughts. His physical features and his hallucinated "sad figure", loaded with the old weapons that he carries on his bony limbs, surround him with an aura of heroism that irremediably overcomes the caricature.
This work is an ironic interpretation of the knightly world that Cervantes knew and loved. There were real cases of madness that could suggest, externally, the idea of the great protagonist of the novel. It has been thought of several characters named Quijada, such as Don Luis Quijada, secretary of Charles V and tutor of Don Juan de Austria, who had features curiously coincident with the Quijote, or a relative of the wife of Cervantes who carried that surname ; Zapata, in his Miscellany, talks about the case of a gentleman who went crazy and who wanted to imitate the adventures of Orlando, as in Don Quijote de Avellaneda, and whose insanity is explained as a hereditary tare.
Don Quijote, in his first outing, went alone against the world, although later his needed for a figure that at the same time serves as a contrast and lends him his brotherhood will be covered with Sancho Panza, who from chapter VII will be representative of the good sense, the claim to the things of the earth, and that if it ever stops the fantasy of its errant gentleman, others leave it more deeply abandoned to its first and infantile humanity. Since then, Don Quijote and Sancho remain united and opposed, brothers but at the same time hierarchically distinct, within the canons of baroque variety and chiaroscuro.
Don Quijote alone
Don Quijote and Sancho Panza
This union provokes a double current of mutual influences that perfects and civilises the union of the extreme figures that have best embodied the most unbridled pure idealism and the most sympathetically limited and domestic reality. Don Quijote radiates splendors of his greatness, in contrast to the technique of humor, from his first solitary departure through the fields of La Mancha, during the hard month of July, showing us the images of his investiture as a gentleman in the hostelry, between muleteers and lads of the party, and of the brutal beatings that he suffered from curious and arrogant people, rided on his dry and stylised Rocinante.
Here is Don Quijote, our brother and symbol of love and justice, who faces the eternal Spanish castles that are the windmills, consolidating one of the most ingrained literary myths. These images contrast later with his doctrinal spirit, when he speaks to the goatherds or when he projects his shadow of a mystic before the table of a hostelry, among soldiers, nobles and craftsmen, exposing, in the discourse of arms and letters, the theory of the two Spain of the sixteenth century, the two positions of Charles V's time: the inheritance of Don Juan de Austria, the hero of Lepanto, and that of the scholastic and theological bureaucracy of the bereaved Felipe II.
In the darkness of the night his figure stands out, among the torches of the adventure of the dead, suggested perhaps by the transfer to Castile of the corpse of San Juan de la Cruz. Thus approaches the divine madness of the greatest and most enlightened poet of the Spanish mystics with the human madness of the most just and chaste enamored with the knights. His figure oscillates between the pain of the sticks of the muleteers and the people of Segovia, the befas (rude derisions) of the superficial dukes and the victory over the Knight of the Mirrors, in the greenest and most flowery fields or in the double light of fiction and novel of the figures of Master Pedro's altarpiece.
In addition, he will leave the suffering rump of his good horse of flesh to ride Clavileño, which transports him in his fantasy, above the clouds and the stars, like a new Pegasus of the dreamer of the most beautiful illusions, just like also penetrates into the bowels of the earth to discover the crazy secrets of the novel of the cave of Montesinos, along with the obsession with the charm of Dulcinea. Precisely because he is a concrete man, both in his magisterial actions and in his grotesque aspects, Don Quijote can rise to the category of symbol and literary myth.
The personal aspects of Don Quijote appear, depending on the novel in which they find themselves, in different ways in its two parts. In the first, the episodes are combined that directly refer to the two central figures and that are largely the most famous, as a literary myth, of the whole work --windmills, flocks of sheep, adventure of the dead , conquest of the helmet of Mambrino, liberation of the galley slaves, diverse events in the hostelry, etc--, and then a great variety of subjects that are inserted indirectly and completely lateral and strange.
These episodes are but a summary of all the novel genres, that were fashionable: the pastoral, the Italian way of loving, the Moorish, the "exemplary novel", etc. In the second part, it will be Cervantes himself who tells us that the reader, undoubtedly with penetrating intuition, would prefer the feats and conversations of Don Quijote and his squire to other matters, hardly related to them, such as the intervention of the protagonists , for example, at Camacho's wedding, where he falls squarely in the same line of action.
Once reached the peak of maturity, the novelist enjoys presenting Don Quijote, both in triumphal episodes as in the victory over Samson Carrasco, under the guise of Knight of the Mirrors, or in the adventure of the carriage of the lions, as in the soft intimacy of the house of the Knight of the Green Overcoat, or when collecting the rebellion of the character before his false author Avellaneda. We can see how, towards the end of the novel, the "quijotism" is triumphing, in Sancho's way of being and in the immense network of adventures of the chapter of the dukes, where the chivalrous world prevails, in life and in feelings, with the simulation of taunt, with what constitutes a formidable staging of a whole society that enters into adventures and populates fields, castles and villages; of islands, cavalcades and fantastic and grotesque beings.
In addition, throughout the second part in general there is an evolution towards the sanity of Don Quijote, deviated by the own phantasmagoria, built on purpose in the episodes of the dukes. Once the protagonist has been defeated, in Barcelona, the novel ends with the pain of the worst defeat, suffered by the errant knight and his anguished return to his village, recovering his reason on his deathbed.
Between the first and second parts, that really wrote Cervantes, appeared the second volume of Ingenious nobleman Don Quijote ... of the lawyer Alonso Fernandez de Avellaneda. Cervantes was very upset with the usurpation and with the tone of disdain, employed by Avellaneda in his observations, and, in the prologue of his second part and in the final chapters, satirised very harshly the apocryphal author, who was hiding under a pseudonym.
Don Quijote de Avellaneda is a vulgar falsification of the fundamental conception of the novel, turning Don Quijote into a brutal and monomaniac character, lacking in flexibility and grace. His contemporaries only understood Don Quijote in its most superficial and comical aspect, although Romanticism, especially German, valued the type of Don Quijote interpreting it as a humanly melancholic character, with a deep philosophical content.
Well, as I said at the beginning, now I would like to say what is the place of La Mancha, which I want to remember. That place is in the outskirts of the village Madridejos (Toledo), because, a few weeks ago, a brother of mine sent me a photo, which he made, outside of Madridejos --specifically on Avenida de Europa, Kilometre 108--, where there is an industrial warehouse of the company MAYCOMETAL, SL, a company that manufactures metallic structures and, next to that warehouse, you can see a metal figure of Don Quijote and, very close to it, there is an old train locomotive. Then, when my brother saw that, he imagined Don Quijote fighting against the locomotive, instead of fighting against a windmill. You can see that image below:
Don Quijote and the locomotive
The map of Madridejos
An aerial view of Madridejos
At the entrance of Madridejos, you can see another image of Don Quijote.

And in the village, you can see the statues of Don Quijote and Sancho Panza.

The new iPhone 4 by Steve Jobs himself June 7, 2010, is a terminal aesthetically beautiful, whose body is made up of a profile in alloy steel and specially designed two-sided glass undergoes a special treatment to reduce oleo phobic as possible those unsightly stains left by the fingers during use, and one other chemical treatment that has accentuated the hardness.
The new iPhone 4 measures 115.2 x 58.6 x 9.3 mm and weighs 137 grams .. Its display measures 3.5 inches and has a definition really impressive, considering that it has four times the pixels of the screen of the iPhone 3GS, and almost 80% of the pixels contained in the screen of an iPad which is much larger. This density of 326 pixels per inch, allows unprecedented definition on the screen of a smartphone.
Enhanced also the main camera, which the iPhone 4 has a 5 megapixel definition accompanied by LED flash, and captures movies in HD quality.
Present for the first time on an iPhone a front camera that allows you to make video calls.
The other key features of the iPhone 4 are the 802.11b/g/n Wi-Fi, an Apple A4 processor that promises excellent performance, a 3-axis gyroscope and a range improved by about 40%.
The iPhone 4 is the first terminal to install the new operating system called ISO4 which introduces about 100 new features, of which the most important and expectations are undoubtedly Multitasking, Folders, enhanced Mail, and management.
Surely the iPhone 4 has a very high quality standard, especially in the materials used (probably the best in this respect), and just as surely brings several innovations over previous models, but you can not say that it is a terminal technologically innovative, as with all the best made, Apple has only filled the glaring shortcomings, which impoverished the iPhone in the presence of other terminal tip of other companies on the world of mobile telephony.
Many of the software improvements made by the new operating system ISO4, had already been introduced by the users through applications installed after the jailbreak, and then against the wishes of Apple.
In any case, the iPhone 4 is without a doubt another huge success.
This cell is a huge success for Apple. But what was the buyers comment about it? As usual some buyers think that this is a reflect of the past iPhone of apple. Also for some it is a cell anyone can die for!

"If the software is good, the product will sell itself." When you're hiring a sales team, this sentiment can sink your business.
Cutting-edge technology companies recognize that hiring a quota-busting sales team is a crucial part of the digital revolution—and "qualified candidates" simply aren't going to cut it anymore.
Building and retaining a team of elite sales professionals who know how to sell software—and have the track record to prove—it isn't an easy task because the rockstars you really want aren't actively looking for jobs.
We've been placing high performing sales talent for over 30 years and remain within 1-degree of separation between the true software sales superstars that will generate revenue, grow your customer base, and drive tremendous value.
We are true market masters at placing top tier sales talent with innovative software companies. We take pride in facilitating growth and helping to shape the next generation of technology companies.
Everything we do is viewed through the lens of being a long-term partner in your success—that's our commitment to our clients.

Martyn and his firm are awesome at hiring salespeople and sales leaders. He pretty much staffed up our entire sales team at Eloqua.
We benchmarked him against the best, even local recruiting firms and we found that Martyn could bring on better people, with less yield loss, from Toronto.
You can spend weeks, even months, in search of the right candidate. Or you can work with someone that knows where to look and save yourself the headache. I gave Martyn Bassett a job description and watched him repeatedly deliver on that from within the sales talent pool.
Innovation is the key to success, which is why I trusted Martyn to build the product management team that's pioneering our next generation of software. These were strategic, technical roles and – as usual – Martyn's team delivered nothing less than the ideal candidate.
We drew up a very specific wishlist for our Business Development Executive – which included experience in managed and professional services, consistent over-performance and experience as a consultant – before we retained Martyn. We had no guarantee that candidate was on the market but Martyn's team produced several that ticked all the boxes and one that exceeded our expectations.
Martyn has access to a seemingly limitless number of talented sales leaders and he is sure to understand business needs and present only fully vetted candidates. I wholly recommend him for anyone – candidate or hiring manager – looking to find the right home for talented sales leaders.
Having gone through interviews and job negotiations many times on my own before, I have to say that being presented by a recruiter this time made the process so much smoother. I'm sure that myself and my employer are both happier with the outcome as a result of working with Martyn Bassett Associates through the process.
Martyn's ability to bring talent to you is a benefit in and of itself, but what truly impressed me is his understanding of what you need and what you don't need and having the conversation about it.
I looked at Martyn as more than the guy bringing talent to me – I looked to him for advice throughout the process.
A company is only as successful as its talented people, which is why we turned to Martyn to find us the right people, for the right roles, at critical points in Leonardo's growth.
Having top talent in place has helped the company's transformation from a small media production company to a digital technology company serving the global hospitality industry. The quality of talent that Martyn has brought us is unmatched.
It's a tricky thing to find the right people based in Toronto who can go and sell to distant markets and how to sell in a SaaS world with the right language skills – you can imagine it's like finding a needle in a haystack and Martyn came up with great candidates that we used to fill a number of roles.
The entire Martyn Bassett team was easy to work with and we were able to quickly develop an open and transparent partnership.
Leveraging their strong expertise and extensive talent network, they helped us find the technology sales leaders and management services experts we needed.

"The goal of the project is to shoot each country of the world. One man, one woman in their own bathroom."
Meet Natalia Del Rio. A 25 year old Mexican American who's cycling around the world to take naked pictures of locals in their bathrooms. As steamy as that sounds, her goal is to break down that stigma and the sexualisation of the human form through her project, Full Disclothesure.
The project started 6 years ago through a domino effect Natalia experienced of self acceptance, self discovery and authenticity to oneself. She is currently riding through South America capturing raw and symbolic photos inspired by cultural differences and society's pressure on physical beauty.
When did Full Disclothesure Project begin?
Full Disclothesure originally started back in 2013 and was indirectly sponsored by my university. I was granted a scholarship to do a project whilst studying abroad in Paris so the whole time I was there, I was very anxious in finding what the project was going to be. It wasn't till I went to Madrid and I met up with one of my friends, Oscar. For me, Oscar is someone that's super important and is the person that birthed this project. He studied with me in New Jersey and that was one of the first years that I was out of the closest. It was his first time in a new culture and when he had to go back to Costa Rica, he told me that being around me had made him feel more comfortable with his body and sexuality. I thought this was amazing. Fast forward and I'm in France, doing my study abroad and he is in Madrid for whatever reason. I drive to Madrid to see him and he introduces me to one of his friends, Gresil, who's a lesbian Mexican woman. I'm talking to her and she tells me that she really appreciates her friendship with Oscar and because of him she's more comfortable with her own body and sexuality. That, right there, is where the whole project was born. It was like an ah-hah moment and right there and then, I told Gresil — "Listen, I'm supposed to be doing a project while I'm out here, can you go into the bathroom, get naked and I need to just shoot you raw, just the way you are."
For a while, I couldn't handle or deal with the fact that I was gay. Mirrors and reflections have a lot to do with self acceptance and that is exactly why it's straight up in the bathroom. It's a very intimate moment with yourself.
So is that why you chose a bathroom setting, it's kind of like a self reflection, metaphorical moment?
Absolutely. I studied literature so symbolism and all this stuff is really embedded into what the project is. It also has to do with the cultural differences and how different cultures use a bathroom. For example, in Italy, they have the bidet, which is something that I don't even think about and then in Asia you have the squatting toilet and it's just how different cultures use that private space. If you think about it, it's one of the only places in your house where you can absolutely be in privacy.
You can see certain cultures or different routines in the smallest, subtlest ways.
Yeah, absolutely and something I also want to focus on is beauty products. In Asia, they're so concerned of being white that everything that has to do with cleaning your body, all have bleach in them. Everything has bleach, bleach shampoo, bleach conditioner, bleach soap. Everything is just bleached. Yeah, so you see how maybe we're not as conscious as the same things in another culture and how society implements their beauty products and how it's so embedded in their culture. That's what I'm kind of trying to document. I'm trying to do a lot of things haha but at the core of it all, the impact I want to make is the liberation of the body.
When you're shooting people, do they open up on how they perceive their own bodies?
It depends where they're at with themselves. I usually do the photoshoot and then show them the photos from my camera and we look at them together so I've definitely had a lot moments with these people. I remember doing a photoshoot with an English girl in Vietnam and after we did the photoshoot, I was showing her pictures and she began to cry hysterically. It can be a very special moment.
It seems very intimate. I think it would be nice to have that connection of both of you sifting through and collectively agreeing on photos. Especially when you were strangers to each other.
For the most part, it's a always a great experience, for both parties I think.
These shoots feel like they can get pretty emotional and intense, do you ever feel drained after a shoot?
No, it's the complete opposite. I have another project that has to do with funerals and death so when it comes to doing that project and being in a morgue or seeing people cry, that's very draining. I do need a drink and I do need to take a nap and just retreat from the world. Full Disclothesure is the complete opposite, these projects are at two ends of the spectrum. What I get from Full Disclothesure is pure happiness, I feel so happy after every shoot. It's very rewarding for both, photographer and the model.
When you first started doing this project, did you ever feel uncomfortable going into a strangers house and getting them to strip naked? Was there any miscommunication on the project?
Absolutely because I'm closing myself in a bathroom in such a close vicinity with someone I don't know and more of the issue there is being closed in a bathroom with a man. I don't really worry about women, if women come to me wanting to be apart of the project, I don't think of who I need to come with me. When it comes to shooting men, I need to make sure someone can come with for the shoot and stays outside.
If it makes you feel safer and comfortable with the person having friends around, of course. If you're constantly thinking about your security, you're not really focusing on the task at hand.
Sometimes, I ask myself am I going to traumatise myself because of Full Disclothesure, so sometimes I think I should focus on shooting women rather then men. But I also don't want to do that, I don't want to have one experience to ruin the progression of Full Disclothesure. Also, I'm going to these people's houses and I want them to be as comfortable in their own home. I always suggest to put on some music or something that will get them happy and comfortable with me being there, even take a shot of vodka. It's funny because a photoshoot usually lasts 20 minutes and the first 5 mins, you see how rigid the person is and how slowly they start letting themselves go and gaining more confidence.
How do you approach your models?
I prefer to shoot people I don't know. I'm not usually asking my friends and I have already shot some friends initially when I started the project. The whole point is to get complete strangers and people I don't know. Because I'm travelling, I'm constantly meeting new people, nobody knows me and the conversations normally go like "Hey, what's your name, what do you do, where do you come from?". So it's always the topic of conversation and I either ask if they're interested or someone they know who'd be interested.
Are you staying in hostels or homestays?
When I'm on the road, I usually stay in my tent, I have my own kitchen set. I'm pretty self efficient, it's only when I come into big cities, I stay in a hostel. If not a hostel, I'm doing couch surfing, fire stations or straight up in my tent, off the road somewhere. The reason why I do that is because this is all out of my own pocket, I don't have anyone sponsoring me, it's purely just me and my passion trying to make my career.
Of course, you got to start somewhere and what better way than travelling the world taking photos of locals in their bathroom.
Absolutely. I've shot in over 23 countries and I have over 100 participants and over 6 exhibitions.
Where was your top place?
For sure, Shanghai because one of my exhibitions was in Shanghai and that was like a huge topic of discussion in the sense that the day before my exhibition, the director straight up told me that I couldn't hang up any nudes on the wall.
What? Haha did they know about your project before organising the exhibit?
Yeah, I was like "did you not look at my project, why am I here?". Haha, she told me that if there ends up being any Chinese spies, they can put you in jail because in China censorship is a thing and nudity isn't allowed. So I'm about to have an exhibition and there's even an article online including Full Disclothesure being in the five exhibitions you should see in Shanghai.
What did you do?
You know, this came down to the core of censorship and what this whole project is about and revealing that authenticity. I really did ask them saying maybe I should change the pictures I put up. But then I realised that's censoring my artistic creativity and what it's all about.
Did any spies come?
Luckily, no spies came and nothing happened haha.
Haha and what about a favourite bathroom?
I am a bathroom lover, every time I'm in cities, I'm always asking where is the bathroom haha. I can't say I have a favourite one, I think if I found one with a gold toilet that would be it.
So you've said that the bathroom has private and intimate energy, what made you choose bathrooms rather then a bedroom?
The reason why bathrooms are at the forefront here because it's also a place of cleansing. That's what really inspires this, showing off your body organically and authentically. You know, you're taking off your clothes and washing away the dirt. The bedroom is a completely different energy, having naked people in the bedroom it's already way more sexualised than the bathroom. It's like do you have tootsie pops in Australia?
I have never heard of them before.
Oh, so this is an American candy, it's a lollipop. It's hard on the outside and in the inside it's like nice little caramel type of thing and the spokesperson for the lollipop use to be an owl and he would always say "how many licks does it take to get to the centre of the tootsie pop". I really don't even know why I'm even telling you this but it's like shedding those layers and getting to the middle, getting to what is the core.
Well, I love that metaphor haha. Most people have a bathroom ritual, for most girls, you're either taking make up off or putting it on, it's a place where you decide who you want to be that day.
Exactly. Also if you think about it this way, you're drinking and partying or you indulged in one of your vices, the first thing you wanna do is shower and get the shit off of you. It's very symbolic.
Any stories to tell?
One of my last photoshoots in San Francisco, I'm with this girl and she's in the bathtub and I couldn't get the angle I wanted so I stepped onto the toilet so I could get an above shot and I ended up the breaking the toilet seat. The whole toilet seat falls right off and I fall down, it definitely broke the tension haha.
So where's the next country after Argentina?
Basically Colombia, Brazil, Chile, Peru. Pretty much I want to hit every country and after that I want to head to either Africa or Asia heading to London, always on bicycle.
Is Full Disclothesure ever going to end?
I mean, maybe after I finish shooting from every country but really, the goal is to get funding and recycling that money to communities and the people that have helped me with this project. I think that's the ultimate impact.

what is a soul coach?
The best way would be to try to explain, what soul coaching is, Soul Coaching® is a very special coaching process that acknowledges that YOUR SOUL, YOUR HIGHER SELF, know the answers. Your Soul Coaching® Practitioner has been trained to use a very special coaching technique, and a variety of processes and program to assist your in clear away your mental debris, so that you can hear your soul's calling.
Soul Coaching® is not therapy. Therapy usually focuses on emotional healing. It's also different than life coaching, which usually focuses on the attainment of a goal through motivation or inspiration. Soul Coaching®, however, is different from these practices as its primary aim is to clear away inner debris, so you can discover your own inner wisdom.
Many people associate the word "coach" with the image of someone who drives his athletes towards improvement and perfection. This same model for coaching was fostered when life coaching came into fashion.
Traditional life coaches motivate, push, prod, and hold their clients accountable to reach a higher level of excellence. This model of coaching works well in most cases, however, it often can lead to a kind of tiredness of the soul.
As life coaching expanded in popularity, modern businesses were quick to utilize it in their departments – refining techniques of motivation. Coaching seemed to reflect the current trends in modern culture towards faster productivity. However, even with all the latest coaching methods, time saving devices, organization systems, and motivation technology, something was missing.
Soul Coaching® Practitioners are trained in a coaching process to hold sacred space for you while finding your truth. They have expertise in leading various programs that utilize the power of the Four Elements and the cycles of nature to unlock your passion for life again.
The process, methods and program is a trademarked system. Denise Linn ( author of 'Soul Coaching', 'Unlock the Secret Message of the Body' and other Soul Coaching® related programs) created many processes and service that as single appointments or a series of session can ignite your intuition and connection to your life mission.

Recently, we drove to meet Denver friends in San Francisco for a few days of eating, wine-drinking and a bit of San Francisco sight-seeing, and then met up with our San Jose buddies to finish out the week. Today's blog post will take you along for a Virtual Bay Vacay!
While in San Franciso, we relied on recommendations from locals and Yelp for restaurant selection–a great combo. I failed to take pictures of the food I ate– horrible food blogger foul–but I have found websites for each of the restaurants to share with you, should you ever be in the Bay Area looking for a great place to eat. I'm hoping you'll enjoy some pictures of the sights instead of food pics. Here we go!
The first place we ate in San Francisco was Sotto Mare, famous for it's crab cioppino. Reservations are highly recommended. We called from a bar around 5–a time when walk-ins get seated–had a drink and showed up about an hour later and ended up with a one and a half hour wait. Which was ok–we had fun making friends with other wait-ers. The place is small, the decor a collection of old photos and seafaring stuff. We ordered the cioppino (enough for two, comes with bibs) and sand dabs (small flounder-like fish only found in the San Francisco area). So. Worth. The. Wait. We were tempted to come back for every meal, but San Francisco has SO many restaurants!
The next day, we took a hybrid (solar/wind/diesel-powered) ferry to Alcatraz. Very, very cool!
The ferry leaves from Pier 33, so when we returned, it was just a short walk to Pier 23–a restaurant Michael and I heard about on Food Network's Diners, Drive-ins and Dives. (Beware–racy cafe logo!) Pier 23's food certainly lives up to the D,D&D hype. We had fish tacos and a swordfish skewer. It was a cloudy-misty day, so the waterside outdoor seating area was enclosed. Still a fun, relaxed and casual atmosphere with great food!
Later that day, we rode a cable car to the cable car museum–the most amazing museum EVER! Definately a must-see if you're in San Fransisco.
Later, we ventured to a bar recommended by our companions' daughter–The Tonga Room in the Fairmont Hotel. Formerly the hotel's pool, a place where famous people swam, The Tonga Room is tiki-decor on steroids, complete with thunderstorms that rain into the pool and an area that is part of a real ship. Srong drinks (pina coladas and mai tais) and people watching rounded out our enjoyment of The Tonga Room.
That night we ended up at Bouche, a cozy French restaurant specializing in seasonally-inspired offerings referred to as "small plates." We found the portion sizes to be perfect–just the right amount with no need for a doggie bag. We started with a cheese plate and then had herb-crusted halibut and stuffed chicken with tarragon potatoes. The halibut was wonderful, but the table fav ended up being the chicken. It was the tarragon sauce–really butteryherbalwine-ish. Mmmmmm….gotta try to recreate that one! We shared the tart of the day (chocolate-almond) for dessert.
Our final day in San Francisco, we took the ferry to Sausalito. We walked around admiring the amazing art and beautiful houses clinging to the hillsides and then caught the ferry back in time to visit the SFMOMA.
They currently have an amazing installment made of a 3-D block of suspended LED lights that look like twinkling stars when you walk under, and a movie when viewed straight across from a balcony. Anchor and Hope was within walking distance. They start you off with house-made chips and a crazy-good aioli. The lobster roll was killer-yummy!
We spent the next day in Berkeley, visiting our San Jose friends' son and his girlfriend. They recommended one of their favs, the Saturn Cafe, a seriously fun and funky vegetarian restaurant. The California Burger was HUGE, super-satisfying (didn't miss the meat), and can be ordered with sweet potato fries! Awesome!
After an invigorating hike the following day, we found ourselves in New Orleans….well, not actually, but with the authentic food and live Zydeco band, the Poor House Bistro in San Jose sure seems like it! I had a shrimp po'boy and Michael had a half muffaletta, which was really enough for two to share! We had chicory coffee (smooth!) and shared beignets for dessert.
We don't eat out much when we're home, so experiencing all of these great restaurants made the vacation even more vacation-y, and eating out with friends makes the food even yummier!

Coaching Testimonials
2015-04-12 Teri's style for mentor coaching is very comprehensive and complete. She provided extremely detailed information based on recorded sessions, and worked through all of the coaching competencies in great detail. Teri helped me see that my coaching has progressed for many competencies well beyond the ACC level. Learning how to employ the competency framework will help me continue to grow as a coach and will be a key tool as I tackle mentor coaching. I feel more confident about my coaching skills and abilities. Teri is a highly committed mentor coach whose approach is incredibly comprehensive and thorough. I learned a great deal by having Teri as my mentor coach. Thank you so much!
Fern Schultz (British Columbia, Canada)
Certified Executive Coach at Coaching on Focus
Teri is a wonderful person and an extremely motivating supervisor. She managed an internship program that gave us a great professional experience and prepared us for the next step in our careers. I chose to model an internship program I led at my subsequent job after her program. Teri is also a caring, sweet person who recently helped me in my present endeavors for graduate school. Teri is a great leader and would be an asset to any team.
Natalie S (Washington, DC)
Graduate Student and Municipal Employee
I had the great pleasure of being mentored and managed by Teri for more than a year as I was first starting out in my profession. What I remember most about her mentorship were not only the valuable skills I learned in writing-general, writing-proposals or writing-reports and the importance of owning each project assigned, but I also learned specific values she instilled in the next generation of the corporate workers. Not only did Teri show the importance of professionalism and how and why it matters, but also the importance of balancing work, life and relationships. These skills and values have proved important later in my career while dealing with clients, other colleagues and for those in my personal life. I recommend Teri's unique abilities to evaluate talent, coach and instruct younger and middle-management and in her immense experience finding solutions to tough interpersonal situations. She will make a positive difference in any organization she is involved with,
Patrick S
Director, Public Relations Industry
Teri was a terrific mentor during my internship at DCI. Her low-stress, yet precise manangement style creates an ideal atmosphere for learning and growth. She sees potential in others and magnifies it by creating opportunities to develop through meaningful projects. Teri is approachable, extremely caring and willing to share her advice and expertise with anyone in need. I strongly recommend her.
Ashley L
Legislative Clerk, US House of Representatives
As an intern and then a member of a Congressional staff I worked closely with Teri. As an intern I reported directly to Teri and she helped me learn the ropes. She taught me how to handle myself in an office situation. No matter what situation occurred or unfolded she always kept her cool and worked though it. I took this demeanor that she portrayed and applied if to my future experiences in the office and in my future ventures. Eventually I became staff member and a peer of her's. As a colleague I respected her as a person in and outside of the office. She was an exemplary employee in the office and a friend out of the office. Her love for her job and compassion for her co-workers created a comfortable family like atmosphere that kept everyone at ease and able to complete their duties to the best of their abilities. She is a model citizen and mentor that I have had the pleasure to know and work with.
Zeb W
Former Congressional Staffer and Culinary Arts Student
When I first came to DCI in 2007, Teri was a tremendous teacher and mentor, not only about how to navigate and succeed at DCI but also about applying these lessons to every day life. Her mantra of "underpromise and overdeliver" is something that I still utilize today. I highly value the role she played as a mentor and recommend her to others as well.
Michael R
Public Affairs & Grassroots Advocacy for a National Trade Assn.
Throughout my internship at DCI, Teri maintained an open-door policy. If we ever needed to discuss a matter that affected our performance at work, whether it be personal or professional, Teri was willing to talk us through it. I could tell that she coached us through any issue we were having not because she had to, but because she genuinely cared. She always maintained the highest level of professionalism and confidentiality, and I never hesitated to ask her for honest feedback on my performance. Teri also always encouraged us to keep the big picture in mind of where we saw our professional lives taking us in the future, and was willing to help us map out this vision. She also instilled in us the value of having a solid network of friends and professionals. I still work in communications and public relations, and credit Teri. I wouldn't hesitate to reach out to her, now or in the future, to help guide me through a professional issue or career transitions.
Alexandra T
Marketing and Communications Strategist
Teri Grier has an innate ability assisting those around her find their potential. When approaching questions posed to her she collaborates and searches for buy-in. Not only this, but Teri excels at identifying and recommending areas of strength one can use in their career, leading to satisfaction and fulfillment in a vocation.
Joel C
Graduate Student and Policy Associate, Charles G Koch Foundation
During my first internship with Teri, she made the experience. Teri planned our assignments and structured our work to help each individual intern grow. Her face-to-face assessments were always constructive, and her group tutoring helped all of us grow from interns into professionals. Her background is in politics, but Teri is an expert at growing people.
Cameron R
Law Student
Teri was working at DCI when they hired me as a consultant on a variety of energy-related topics. Teri and I worked closely during that time. She is an efficient and effective manager who relates well to clients and co-workers; she knows how to delegate and how to get good work from her staff (and consultants). After she was promoted to another function at DCI, we again worked together as she and her staff needed research and writing help on a variety of non-energy projects. I was one of a small group that she hired to provide some of those services. In that case I saw her ability to cover multiple topics and issues, delegate within her staff and among her consultants, and get timely results. At one point, after a very short deadline and a lot of product creation, Teri received a letter of praise from her particular client. She shared the letter, and the praise with her staff and consultants. She knows how to lead people and how to get things done. I highly recommend her.
