How to Use the Foundation Center to Find Nonprofit Grants
Over the past 60 years, information about funding sources for nonprofits has become increasingly available to the public. One milestone in this movement was the creation of the Foundation Center in 1956. Originally intended to collect information so that foundations could learn about one another, the Foundation Center quickly became a leading source of information for grant seekers.
The Foundation Center manages five libraries across the United States and a number of official cooperating collections within other libraries and nonprofits. It also publishes several directories in print, on CDs, and through online subscriptions.
If you can't find a nearby Foundation Center branch library or cooperating collection, check with local community foundations, larger public libraries, and college and university libraries. These places often have copies of the Foundation Center's materials. The books and CDs can be expensive for individuals to purchase, so if you can't find them in a nearby library, you should purchase a short-term subscription to the Foundation Center's online directory.
So what are you looking for when you're using these search tools? You want to determine whether a foundation satisfies the following three criteria:
Geography: Does this foundation award grants in the area where your nonprofit is based?
Fields of Interest: Does this foundation award grants in the subject area of your organization's work?
Type of support: Does this foundation award the kind of grant that you want?
If you answered yes, good work! You've found an entry for your broad list of prospects. Strive to come up with a list of about 15 or 20 names.
The Foundation Center directories are dense with information, but each of them contains a helpful introduction and annotated sample listing to help you identify where you can find answers to your questions.

Tigga wrote:An a different note one important thing to remember is that it's not just a max range buff. AP of main tank guns increases by 1 point for every 350m range you close in. This means at the former range all tanks with the buff are effectively +1 AP. I wasn't expecting this to be the case - I had thought that they'd make the "350m rule" into a "420m" rule to give the same AP at low ranges. For anybody too lazy to work it out themselves:
2275/1925 range: Default AP
1925/1575 range: AP+1
1575 /1225 range: AP+2
1225/875 range: AP+3
875/525 range: AP+4
525/350 range: AP+5
Actually, things get a bit complicated when you get down to 350m. I'm fairly sure that you get an AP bonus for the 175m between 525 and 350, but below 350 you're guarenteed to do at least one point of damage with a hit. I don't know if there are AP bonuses at 175m.
Anyway, this means that within 525m tanks with the range boost get +5 AP. That's pretty epic, and puts most T80s/NATO armour at AP 14, one hitting armour 5 or greater. Leopard 2A4s however will be able to one-hit armour 6 or greater, and T-80Us armour 7 or greater.
Worth bearing in mind that at close ranges this AP bonus favours lighter tanks, just less so than before. If a Rise Patton can use cover to get within 525m range they're effective AP 11, doing 7 points of damage to higher tier T-80s side armour for a fraction of the price. Don't discount lighter tanks... just be aware that you want to be getting them close!

Stan Elmer, this month's featured artist at Bountiful's Lamplight Gallery (170 S. Main), has mastered the technique. His exhibit, which will share an opening reception with Lamplight's International Baccalaureate show on April 20 from 6-9 p.m., finds brilliant rainbows of color in everything from the slope of a mountain to the roof of a house.
One of the boldest uses of color in the exhibit is "Antelope Island Ranch," which makes a familiar building seem fresh and strange with blue trees and a stretch of purple grass that is echoed in the slate-blue sky. "Yellow Apple," a smaller painting, transforms a single piece of fruit into eight different shades of gold.
Other works play with the rainbow more subtly, using touches of unexpected color in subtle places to make a scene more vivid. In "Pond Town," little flecks of orange along the shoreline make the blue of both the sky and the water that much deeper.
For more information check out the April 19 addition of the Davis Clipper.

Themes and Meanings (Masterplots II: Poetry, Revised Edition)
Shakespeare's Sonnet 30 is a beloved, often-remembered, often-quoted poem simply because it is an exquisite description of the pain of nostalgia, an experience which is common to most of humankind. The human psyche does not want to let go of the experiences of its past, even when that experience was exceedingly painful, or perhaps especially because it was painful, since somehow the hurt has increased the meaning of the moment. It certainly has increased its intensity. The release which dissipates such remembered pain is also a welcome experience, and the reader of Shakespeare's sonnet experiences that release as the tension built up in the first twelve lines of the poem disappears in the recollection of a current, fulfilling friendship.
The poem is meaningful also because of its inclusion in the most famous collection of sonnets in the English language, if not in any language. Though almost no scholars believe that Shakespeare himself was responsible for the order in which the sonnets were printed, this poem does belong to the early group which were addressed to a young man. It also has a close relationship with the sonnet immediately preceding it and the one that follows, pointing to the probability that these were written together. Sonnet 29 has the same thought progression as 30, as the poet laments the fact that Fortune has not been kind to him and wishes that he might change places with anyone a bit higher on her wheel. When the thought of his...

My name is Chantale Pard and I am a Masters student in the Faculty of Information and Media Studies at The University of Western Ontario, studying Library and Information Science. I'm currently working on my guided research project titled Nerdfighteria: A Case Study in Young Adult Information Seeking Behavior through Social Media. I'm looking for young adult Nerdfighters between the ages of 13 and 25 to complete an online survey about how they use social media outlets to find information. Studying these survey responses will help us get a better idea of which social media tools are used for different types of information seeking, whether or not Nerdfighters are informally learning anything in the process, and how collaboration through social media tools can build stronger online communities.
You can access the survey and more detailed information on it here: http://app.fluidsurveys.com/s/nerdfighteria/

From the time of Cold war the Capitalist's and communist's were contravene each-other.But whose Ideology and main motto of work is good.
He already explained that it depends on WHOM you are talking about. Or do you actually think that one would be universally better for all populations?
I'm also confused by what irritates you about this response, specifically because you lauded Napoleon for essentially saying the same thing, albeit somewhat more poetically.
As an aside, I think that's the right answer, but in my estimation, both systems enslave people eventually.
Actually, I don't understand this response either, since "for whom" is obvious in the context of the question, or in this forum even. If "Capitalism or Communism: Which is better?" is incomplete, then so must be "Atheism or Religion: Which is better?" or "Greed or Altruism: Which is better?" They all come down to values. If you can answer one without giving it a second thought, then "for whom" needs only be assumed using the same assumption of values you used in your answer to the other question.
In the other thread, you gave a clear stance against Calvinism in defense of the common man. I don't understand why you wouldn't make that same assumption here.
Jonathan, Dr. Jekyl had Mr. Hyde.
I have Nitpicker and he's asking, "'For whom' is obvious? To whom?"
I've been in politics too long and distrust people's motives too much to let anyone get away with rhetorical questions like G's on economic systems and yours above.
Demagogues use rhetorical questions to exploit passions, not to explore issues.
Nitpicker? Rhetorical? No offense, but neither. I didn't ask any questions. You made an assumption in one case where the issue was uncontested but you wouldn't make this same assumption on another case. That's inconsistency. That analogy comparing me or G to demagogues is invalid logic:
P1. Demagogues use rhetorical questions to exploit passions.
P2. You are using rhetorical questions.
C1. Therefore, you are exploiting passions.
I've only expressed confusion on your reservations. If you do not desire constructive discussion, then I have nothing further to say for now. Take it for how you wish...
Jonathan, I delayed replying until I could check your logic.
First, you didn't ask any questions; you used questions to support your conclusion.
Second, your questions are not analogous to G's question.
1) Capitalism and communism are economic systems with vast amounts of objective data,
2) Atheism and religion are belief systems, one of one has no objective data, and
3) Greed and altruism? Altruism is both a practice and a school of thought. Greed?
To say they all come down to values is unsupported opinion and simplistic.
Third, reducing your syllogism to a Venn diagram reveals its errors.
1) Only P2 is valid.
2) Accepting its validity, then to succeed your
a) P1 would have to read "The only purpose of rhetorical questions is to exploit passions", and
b) C1 would have to read "Your purpose is to exploit passions."
Tom Sarbeck is right, but nothing is totally best for any one. Many years before, when he was US ambassador to India, Charles Bowls had said that 'domesticated capitalism' can be good to India. We are actually experiencing it presently. Communism did not prove to be totally good for the communist countries and likewise, uncontrolled Capitalism too will be proved to be not totally good for America.

There was a catch. I had never learned how to maintain or style a haircut. Oh.
The idea that I was paying an absurd amount of money for someone to put chemicals in my hair reassured me that they would do a good job. Oh, how wrong I was.

All in all, I'd say xoJane readers can be trusted with crowdsourced style decisions. I think I'm going to have some fun with this cut.

I can tell that many of you have been longing to get your itchy little fingers on the snarled mop currently occupying my scalp.

Neil Armstrong, In His Own Words
The first moonwalker's storied aviation career
- By Tony Reichhardt
- AirSpaceMag.com, August 27, 2012
NASA/Andrew Chaikin
There are few photos of Armstrong on the lunar surface (he was operating the camera most of the time), but Apollo historian Andrew Chaikin uncovered this gem while looking at frames of 16 mm film shot during the first moonwalk: a picture of Armstrong with his gold visor raised, so that his face is visible.
During the Apollo 11 crew's debriefing following their mission, Armstrong gave this description of the first moonwalk:
"I went the farthest. While Buzz was returning from [setting up an experiment], I went back to a big crater behind us. It was a crater that I'd estimate to be 70 or 80 feet in diameter and 15 or 20 feet deep. I went back to take some pictures of that; it was between 200 and 300 feet from the [Lunar Module]. [Note: Armstrong's tracks are still visible on the moon, extending to the right of the LM in this image taken by the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter.] I ran there and ran back because I didn't want to spend much time doing that, but it was no trouble to make that kind of a trek—a couple of hundred feet or so. It just took a few minutes to lope back there, take those pictures, and then come back. …
I can best describe a lope as having both feet off the ground at the same time, as opposed to walking where you have one foot on the ground at all times. In loping, you leave the ground with both feet and come down with one foot in a normal running fashion. It's not like an earth run here, because you are taking advantage of the low gravity.
… It was fairly comfortable, but at the end of this trip, going out there and back, I was already feeling like I wanted to stop and rest a little. After about 500 feet of this loping with a 1-minute stop out there in the middle to take pictures, I was ready to slow down and rest. There were a lot of interesting areas within 500 feet or so to go and look at if we had had the time. It would have been interesting to take that time and go out and inspect them closely and get some pictures, but that was a luxury we didn't have."

A brush with death and he bites his tongue, is that the secret to a successful carrier that includes Washington? I was just exiting teenage hood when he and Buzz landed, a young adult who had followed the race and was ready to do my part when reality and the economy of the '70s hit. When someone tries to win an argument with things were different then say yes, there were not as many negative people then. After the moon many of us felt we could solve any problem with out today's collateral damage with today's solutions. Enough regulations now there are few home built solar collectors compared to then. Those were heady times to bad we ruined it with the Department of Education. Neil and Buzz will always be my role models.

Who shall be the next Amstrong in America. Who shall be fearless like the late hero?
Posted by Gift on August 29,2012 | 01:47 AM
There shall never be another Armstrong in America....another fearless hero. We are too advanced now...or, in the words of William Shatner's narrative during the opening credits of Star Trek: "Space, the final frontier." Space truly is the final frontier and now matter now if we put a man (or woman) on Mars, Venus or Jupiter, it will not have the same excitement or drama as Armstrong's lunar landing. It was the FIRST time man ventured from the earth and stood on ground not part of the earth. We were still relatively naive with regards to space travel. It hadn't been that long since the Apollo 1 fire claimed the lives of three American astronauts. There were still many questions regarding whether Armstrong and Aldrin could safely lift off of the moon and return to earth.
Now, spaceflight has become so routine, we hardly pay any attention to a launch or a landing.
No, there will never again be a hero the likes of Neil Armstrong. There will never be a "next" one...
Posted by Thomas Carr on August 30,2012 | 04:58 PM
He was a quiet emissary for Earth and for the United States. I was a little kid when Apollo 11 landed on the Moon but recall all the excitement. It changed history and brought President Kennedy's challenge to fruition.
We need more challenges that make us stretch and grow, and less challenges like militarism and arms races that simply waste our precious resources -- including human life. Thank of all that we can accomplish by working together as a species!
Posted by Ken O'Brien on September 5,2012 | 12:00 PM
Neil Armstrong like Charles Lindbergh were "Firsts", neither basked in the limelight. Just quietly moving into history without fanfare, unique American qualities.
Posted by Ben M. Colcol on September 22,2012 | 06:17 PM
Why do we not have a national holiday for Neil Armstrong??? He is clearly one of the bravest men this country and the world has ever known.

That's why (and what > I mean by stating that) mfr MTBF quotations are optimistic and cheery. Such may be the case, but as Greg pointed out, they are a standard measure of reliability of a device. Actually, I'd trust the MTBF and other reliability data more than the warranty, and here's why: 1) Warranty terms are economics and marketing driven. They're set based (partially) on what the manufacturer thinks is a reasonable expenditure for warranty replacements. If Brand A offers a 2 year warranty and Brand B offers a 3 year warranty, on the same drive, at the same price, people will buy Brand B, improving Brand B's short term revenue (potentially at some downstream cost a couple years from now). The "lemon" phenomenon is probably more model based than serial number based, given the consistency of modern manufacturing processes. (ISO 9000 compliance means that you'll produce the same icky piece of hardware in exactly the same way each time) 2) A warranty is a mere contractual detail, subject to negotiation between vendor and customer. Of course, we, as retail customers, tend not to have much negotiating power here, but I'd imagine that the sales agreement between, for instance, Dell and Seagate, has very different warranty terms, even if the drives are identical. 3) Most people never collect on warranties, even if the equipment fails. The sellers are well aware of this. Otherwise why would there be "lifetime" warranties on things, which clearly will fail or become useless eventually. "Extended service contracts" are a huge money maker for just this reason. 4) If a mfr sells a product that, for some reason, has problems, they don't usually adjust the warranty. If its an expensive item (like a car), they may have a perverse incentive to acknowledge that the problem exists, because it would trigger a flood of warranty requests from purchasers whose units haven't failed yet. This sometimes results in in huge class-action lawsuits and things like lemon laws. Google for "1.8T Passat Sludge" 4) An MTBF specification is a testable, verifiable number. If I put out a procurement for disk drives, and I require an MTBF of, say, 1,000,000 hours in a particular environment, the vendor has to meet that requirement, and demonstrate that it has done so in some way (in this case: by a combination of "similarity", "analysis", and "test", since they obviously couldn't test the delivered article to death). At some point, the vendor is going to sign a piece of paper that says that "this shipment meets all requirements as specified in ...". > > As was pointed out by Karen (and I agree) the mfr warranty period is > perhaps a better number for most people to pay attention to than MTBF as > it is the only number that actually costs mfrs money when a disk > "prematurely" fails and the only number that does you any good if you > buy a hundred disks -- or even just one -- that turn out to be from a > "bad batch".

The financial incentive is that if they deliver a product stated to meet a particular MTBF spec, and they don't, they are committing a fraud, which has substantial penalties (not just financial) associated with it. Putting an unrealistic warranty on something is mere marketing, and the only penalty is a possible financial one, the size of which is determined by many things other than failure rates, and further, which is far into the future, long after this year's (quarter's) bonuses related to shareholder return and revenue have been distributed. Maybe they are all > perfectly honest and drive failure rates are really just 1%/year or > thereabouts (on the bathtub floor) and I just never noticed it, or was > unlucky, or beat the disks to death by using them in actual computers > that only rarely used the disks at all;-) With a warranty, though, > while I still care I care less -- I still have to hassle with the > replacement but I don't have to buy the disk over again, even if it is > just one drive in 100 in a year. > If you really are concerned about failure rates, then get a reliability engineer to look at their data and make a "real life" assessment. Properly evaluating the data and interpreting it is non-trivial. Especially if you're buying hundreds or thousands of disks, you should be putting hard requirements in your procurement spec for reliability. You could even offer to buy them with NO warranty at a discount, since the majority of the cost of a failure falls on you anyway (time and hassle). This is definitely where buying your hardware at the corner computer store (or at a "big-box" store) isn't a good thing. These retailers don't have the skill set, nor the incentive, to properly assess what are fairly arcane things. Jim Lux

Call of Duty – Modern Warfare 3: Cheaters who use Black Box Glitch will get the Boot
Be forewarned! Infinity Ward, the developer of Call of Duty – Modern Warfare 3 will not tolerate any player shenanigans using the new Black Box map's glitch. What's the penalty for exploiting the glitch? Players found cheating will get booted from the game. As in pack your bags for your free trip to Banistan.
We're talking permanent ban here, folks, so tread lightly and stay away from the glitch. If you don't already know, Activision can wield a mean and swift ban hammer. Not only is it quick, it is also crushing. No amount of whining or crying can reverse the effects of the ban hammer so don't cheat. According to Infinity Ward's Robert Bowling's tweet on the matter, there is apparently a glitch in the Black Box map that allows players to get under the map. Thankfully, a fix is already being put together to handle this glitch which, I am sure, is causing many players on the receiving end of a nasty tactical surprise quite a bit of grief. The fix is supposed to drop come this weekend. Speaking of the weekend, as we reported earlier, if you're playing the game via Xbox Live, there is a double XP weekend promo this weekend. Let's hope the fix drops before the double XP marathon.

Jerk that bitch, urges my guide,
and I give my shuddering pole
a jerk, hooking the throat
of the first steelhead of my life.
Reel 'em, he mutters and revs the motor.
I horse my pole and reel and horse.
The boat's mascot whines, her claws
clicking. Let it take some line.
My father, uncle, and cousin
are reeling. First fish! they shout,
and I shout, What a fighter!
A silver spine touches the air.
There, he points, a hen. And guess what?
She's gonna join the club,
somehow spotting in that glimpse
the smooth place along her back
where a fin had been snipped.
He leans over the gunwale, dips a net,
and scoops her into the boat.
She is thick with a wide band
of fiery scales, slap-
slapping the aluminum bottom.
Welcome to the club, he says,
and clobbers her once, and again,
and once more before she goes still.
A bleeder, he says, shaking his head
and handing her to me. I curl
a finger through a gill the way
you're supposed to, determined
not to let her slip and flop
back to the river, a blunder
I'd never live down. A good fist.
Fish, I mean. A good fish.

Joachim von Bandemer
환영합니다 Dusseldorf
Welcome to the InterContinental Dusseldorf, located in one of the most elegant streets in Germany, the famous Koenigsallee. My name is Joachim von Bandemer and we are proud to offer you a stunning choice of activities and for sure: Insider-Knowledge of this great city
오전Step out of the hotel and step on Koenigsallee, the famous shopping and business boulevard. Start across the street from the hotel and find all the flagship stores for international designer labels. The smaller side streets are always good if you are looking to discover small, new fashion boutiques and young designer labels. After the shopping tour, continue your day in the Altstadt. The historic centre of the city is lined with boutiques, shops, restaurants, bars and cafés. |
오후Stroll through the Altstadt and go to Grabbeplatz where two great art museums face each other: explore the K20, art from the 20th century or the Kunsthalle with its changing exhibitions of contemporary art. Walk down Muehlenstrasse until you reach the Burgplatz for there walk along the riverside and take a break in one of the many cafés is old town. |

현지 문화Christmas Markets In DusseldorfOne Christmas Market, different theme worlds. In Dusseldorf you can enjoy the Advent mood from many different angles. You'll find a wealth of Christmas fun at over 200 themed huts, scattered across seven locations – all within walking distance of each other. In front of the City Hall, the old-style handicrafts market invites you to see venerable traditions in action. Representatives of various trades such as ornamental blacksmiths, glass blowers, wood turners, carvers and leather embossers will demonstrate their skills to visitors. On Flinger Straße, where trendy brand stores sell their young fashion in historical buildings, the Christmas Market huts have been designed in the style of Dusseldorf's old burgher houses. A popular meeting point here is the several metre high mulled wine pyramid. Close to this is the start of the Engelchenmarkt ("little angel market") in Art Nouveau style, in front of the Carsch-Haus department store. Here, countless angels bathed in a heavenly light look down on the lively bustle below them. There is a bluish shimmer at the Sternchenmarkt ("little star market") in the inner courtyard of Wilhelm-Marx-House. On the patio, which is lined with innumerable crystals and twinkling stars, visitors can look forward to mulled wine, chocolate marshmallows and baked potatoes, as well as jewellery, home furnishings and other gift ideas. On Schadowplatz, the Christmas Market has been given a complete makeover this year: dazzling white natural wood huts with LED strips give the so-called "snow hut village" a Scandinavian winter look. Since it's located directly in front of the recently opened Kö-Bogen, the market is a fusion of modern design and Christmas tradition in not just one but two ways. The goods on offer, ranging from classic to contemporary, include carvings and natural textiles, sweet and savoury Christmas treats, and warming winter drinks. Walk on a few metres and you'll come to Gustaf-Gründgens-Platz where, apart from Christmas items, a children's carousel and various snack bars, you'll find one very special attraction: the 450-square-metre ice rink. Right beside it is the cosy "Schlüssel-Hüttenzauber", where you can enjoy hearty food and drink in a typical Alpine setting. A new feature this year is the Kids' Activity Tent, where there are entertaining Kasperle puppet shows every day at 3.30 and 4.30 p.m. Moving along Schadowstraße, the Christmas Market comes to an end with handicrafts, little snacks and Christmas drinks. If, after all of this, you still haven't found just the right gift, take a look at the cult boutiques in the Altstadt, the luxury stores around Königsallee, or the retail outlets on Schadowstraße. The shops will also be open on Sunday, 15th December, from 1.00 to 6.00 p.m. The Dusseldorf Christmas Market is open from 21st November to 23rd December from 11.00 a.m. until 8.00 p.m. (Sundays to Thursdays) and until 9.00 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays. last exhibition at famous NRW-Forum DusseldorfThe title says it all: PhotoA–Z: photographers we have featured, and those still on our wish list. With this exhibition, the NRW-Forum is looking back and taking stock of 15 years of sensational solo photo exhibitions featuring stellar artists such as Peter Lindbergh, Herb Ritts, Helmut Newton, Robert Mapplethorpe, Guy Bourdin, Rankin, or most recently Bryan Adams, and group exhibitions such as Chic Clicks, Spectacular City, or State of the Art. Down through the years, our photo exhibitions have covered the complete alphabet: from A for Araki to Z for 'Zeitschriften' (magazines) and including G for Goldin, H for Höfer, O for Outerbridge, and W for Wall. It includes both the avant-garde of photo magazines and artists whose work has been style-defining and shaped not only the history of photography, but also advertising, fashion, and media. In addition to important icons whose works have already been exhibited at the NRW-Forum, such as Helmut Newton, Guy Bourdin, or Robert Mapplethorpe, this exhibition now fills in the remaining gaps with works by Cindy Sherman, Philip-Lorca diCorcia, and Inez van Lamsweerde (who have all had an extremely innovative and different influence on (fashion) photography), Richard Prince and Peter Fischli/David Weiss (who d Weiss (who rooted appropriation in photography), or old masters like Paul Outerbridge and Charles Jones (whose works are once again exerting a huge influence on a young generation of photographers). Many of the works have rarely if ever been exhibited in Germany; other prints were made specially for this exhibition, such as Nick Knight's flower photos or Joel Sternfeld's iPhone photos from Dubai. A large wall installation at the exhibition featuring over 100 magazines illustrates the huge influence of print media on the dissemination of photography and the important role played not only by magazines that are dedicated solely to photography but also by fashion and lifestyle magazines such as Vogue, Harpers Bazaar, or I-D. The works interweave the individual viewpoints of the photographers and the history of photo exhibitions at the NRW-Forum to create a kind of spider's web. It is a highly subjective selection, made solely on the basis of the personal preferences of the people behind the exhibition, Petra Wenzel and Werner Lippert. The one and only objective is to highlight once again how photography was able to develop into a leading artistic medium in the course of the twentieth century, how its convergence with a growing number of new disciplines (fashion, video, reportage) took shape, and how it always liberates itself from the shackles of an art form that has become 'classical' and renews itself again and again. 'PhotoA–Z is an exercise in taking stock, a review,' writes the renowned photo historian Prof. Klaus Honnef in his essay for the exhibition catalogue. 'On the one hand, it is an unusual review. At the same time, it is a contemporary document that illustrates what could be deemed "the state of the art" in photography against the backdrop of a dramatic change in the way the medium was dealt with before and after the turn of the millennium. Moreover, PhotoA–Z is a (lost?) reflection of our yearnings and desires, our secret fears and worries, which we tend to hide away inside. These fears and desires are captured and made visible in photographs that change the collective view of things and are themselves the products of a more profound change. The history behind these photos is complicated. Invisible.' |
알고 계시나요? ?ArtThe establishment of an art academy in the 17th century was the beginning of the Art-city Dusseldorf where the federal collection 'Kunstsammlung NRW', outstanding art collections and other museums in addition to over 80 galleries are located. There is a continuous occurrence of internationally renowned exhibitions as well as the presentation of local artists in the city. Ask the Concierge for some more recommendations regarding exhibitions in and around Dusseldorf. Fashion Hot SpotDuesseldorf is famous for fashion- that is why many designers present their new collections at their showrooms a couple of times per year. You can also find all big Brands on Königsallee. Media Harbour (Medienhafen)Seven architects from all over Europe (including Frank O Gehry, Claude Vasconi and David Chipperfield) designed several company headquarters in the Media Harbour, making the area an architectural landmark in the city. You will find a great mix of industrial, heritage buildings and most modern architecture. This is an interesting contrast to the oldtown. Walking distance 20min.

Count Puppeteer Jerry Nelson Passes
Nelson, a Tulsa native who grew up in Washington, D.C., also performed Gobo Fraggle on Fraggle Rock and The Muppet Show's Sgt. Floyd Pepper of the Electric Mayhem band; "Pigs in Space" Dr. Julius Strangepork; Kermit the Frog's nephew Robin; and Gonzo's girlfriend Camilla the Chicken, among other roles.
He first trained with American puppeteer Bil Baird, who was responsible for the lively "Lonely Goatherd" marionette sequence in the 1965 movie blockbuster The Sound of Music, starring Julie Andrews. He worked with Muppet creator Jim Henson on TV's The Jimmy Dean Show, a variety program on which Kermit and the gang first became popular with American audiences.
Nelson began working with Sesame Street in the 1970s. While he had given up the physically demanding job of operating the Count and other puppets on Sesame Street, he still voiced the characters, and his voice will be heard in the new season of the show, which begins in September.

A large proportion of hospital admissions for eating disorders are accounted for by young people. This is according to the latest figures published by the NHS Information Centre. The study revealed that a total of 2,579 people were admitted to hospital with problems relating to eating disorders in the year to June 2010. Of these, 882 were under the age of 18. Mary George is the spokesperson for the Eating Disorders Association, also known as beat. She suggested that this rise in the number of young people could be down to the fact that there is "just better diagnosis [and] that GPs are recognising the problem at an earlier stage of development, so those young people are getting the help they need". However, she added: "Having said that, being hospitalised means that they are very poorly indeed. "That is only the tip of the iceberg. We are aware that there are a lot more out there who are developing a problem."

Date: May 15 2012
The Warriors are wary of a Wests Tigers side who have their NRL season back on course, even if skipper Robbie Farah will be missing this week.
Farah will be in camp with NSW ahead of State of Origin I when the Warriors and Tigers meet in Sydney on Friday night.
Warriors' coach Brian McClennan says the hooker's absence won't affect how his side approach the match.
He says the Tigers have coped without Farah in the past, still have plenty of attacking threats across the park and will be refreshed after a bye.
"They've got Benji Marshall, who can be absolutely lethal and can steer their ship around, and it's at their spiritual home in Leichhardt," he said on Tuesday.
"We're under no illusions about how tough this game is going to be."
With Farah out, McClennan expected Marshall to look to get his hands on the ball more, which would further test the Warriors' defence.
"It's pretty hard to know what he's going to do, Benji, so it doesn't make it any easier," he said.
"We're aware of what can happen."
The Warriors are sitting eighth on the table, but have the second-worst defence in the competition.
Only once have they kept opponents to below 20 points in a game, and only bottom-of-the-table Parramatta have conceded more than their total of 242 points.
McClennan readily acknowledged his side needed to start competing a lot better in that area.
After a five-match losing streak, the Tigers have righted their ship with three successive wins before their bye to sit one spot below the Warriors on the ladder.
The Tigers' last victory featured a Farah golden-point field goal against Gold Coast, the fourth time this season that one of their matches has been decided by a solitary point.

Who: Vince and Benji
What: Benji finally feels sexual attraction towards Vince (also he gives his first bj)
When: Friday, May 13th, 2011; nighttime
Where: The hotel in New York
They'd been in bed for barely fifteen minutes when Benji realized that he wasn't going to get to sleep - not with the weird, unfamiliar warmth that seemed to have settled into the pit of his stomach. To call it unfamiliar is a bit of a stretch, though; he'd felt it a few other times recently, mostly in fleeting moments and always around Vince or when thinking about him. Determining from the sounds of the other boy's breathing that he was still awake, Benji rolled over to face Vince and reached out, gently cupping his boyfriend's cheek for barely a second before leaning in and kissing him. He knew that Vince had been right there with him all along, but in that moment, it just wasn't enough. Benji wanted - no, needed - him closer; a feeling that was new and confusing - but also a little exciting - and Benji didn't understand, but he acted on it anyway. The kiss was needy - passionate in a way that their starting kisses never were - and he gave a soft whine, pressing closer when the older teen responded.

Goal Accomplished!!!! - Stacia Naquin
Updated: 12/12/2013 - I finally did my pull up!!! It was a New Year's Resolution that took me ALL YEAR! But I did it.
NEW YORK (AP) -- Starbucks Corp. is looking to expand its food business, with a $100 million cash deal to buy a small bakery chain.
The Seattle-based coffee shop chain says baked goods and pastries from La Boulange will start replacing its current lineup early next year. Starbucks also says it plans to make the San Francisco-area bakery into a national presence in the years ahead.
Food has become an important part of Starbucks' revenue stream in recent years. About a third of the purchases in its U.S. locations now include a food item.
La Boulange, which also serves salads and sandwiches in a casual sit-down setting, has 19 locations in the Bay Area. The deal also positions Starbucks to enter a fast-growing segment of the restaurant industry currently dominated by Panera Bread Co.

Travel Overseas – How to Work Abroad?
So you are wondering how to travel overseas but don't quite know where to start, or how to go about it. This is Part Two of the series all about how to work abroad. You can check out Part One here. We will wait for you…
Hope you enjoyed it!
As explained in that post, your first option is to take off around the world for a couple of months on an extended holiday. The alternative, and the one we have been doing for over 2 years, is to pack your entire life in to the largest suitcase airlines will accept and move overseas on a working holiday.
How to Work Abroad
Working abroad gives you massive flexibility in what you can do on your overseas travels as you hopefully won't be restricted by time and you will have a bigger budget as you earn money to travel.
The best part of working abroad is that you can travel slow taking your time to get under destinations skins as there is no strict itinerary. While some places like Marrakech can be explored over a couple of days, other cities like Munich require much more exploration. So luckily when on a working holiday you won't feel rushed and you can go back again and again and again!
Slow travelling also allows you to learn about and immerse yourself in another culture. If you stay in a town long enough then the locals will start treating you as one of them. You will also get invited to some great local shindigs that you would never get to experience at home.
In Part One we discussed the budget being one of the major drawbacks to an extended holiday as you are forever counting your pennies and watching your bank account deplete. With working holidays you will have a bigger budget as you can work as little or as much as you want.
Having an income whilst you are traveling allows you to splurge just that little bit more. Instead of hostels you can afford to sleep in a proper hotel room. Or go out for dinner instead of making peanut butter sandwiches on the side of the street.
Trying to weigh up the work/life/travel balance is something that I have not succeeded at yet. I still find it hard to say yes when someone invites me down to the pub as I will be thinking that the $5 could have been spent on a tasty treat in a far off destination.
Picking the right destination for your working holiday is the key to having a great time. I think it is even more important than the actual job you choose.
For example, if all you want to do is snowboard on your days off then obviously living in the Canadian Rockies is a perfect choice. However, if you want to travel around Europe then this option won't work so somewhere central is going to make sense so that you can take lots of short breaks to a number of destinations.
The classic move by most Kiwi's and Aussie's to London is an excellent example, while Edinburgh (where we are) is currently proving pretty popular as well. We love $15 flights to Paris for weekend trips!
Now that you have in mind the place you want to go you better first figure out if you can actually work there. As Kiwi's we find it very easy to obtain work permits or visas basically wherever we want. If you are another nationality then make sure you look into where you can and cannot work first. And of course, you should check out TurboTax Online for potential tax requirements back home.
Basically, we don't want to get your hopes up if it's not going to work for you so do your research into visas.
We will be posting up more helpful tips on obtaining visas for the United Kingdom, Canada and USA in the near future so make sure you follow us on Facebook by clicking this link and the LIKE button to be kept up to date as these come out.
If you need help with getting a visa then there are a number of companies that can help. Checking out IXPvisas.com is a good place to start.
There are of course drawbacks to working abroad. The biggest being the time you spend away from your family. However, as usual there is a silver lining. The friends you make overseas become your extended family and lifelong friendships are formed from the overseas experiences you share.
In addition the longer you spend overseas the longer the more you are putting off making a life for yourself back home. We do not own any property. All of our belongings fit in a suitcase (okay maybe two) and my biggest asset back home is a surfboard stored in Mum and Dads garage.
But we do have a lot of good memories!
So what is the best option for you to travel overseas?
My honest opinion would be to try and do a mix of both options. Work in a country for a year or two, do some great weekend trips and then save hard to take a few months off before you go home or on to another country.
I hope these two articles have helped with helping you decide how to work abroad but if you ever have any questions please flick us an email.

Think of all the ways your company manages its internal information – sales forecasts, ERP systems, and so on. Now, think about the resources spent tracking external events. If your company is like most, it is spending a fraction of its time and effort on the external as it is on the internal. Yet, isn't the greatest source of strategic surprise found in the events and conditions that lie beyond the corporate walls?
Strategy guru Peter Drucker once said, "ninety percent of the information used in organizations is internally focused and only ten percent is about the outside environment. This is exactly backwards. " At the heart of Drucker's comments is the notion of competitive surprise. By failing to monitor external information, companies raise the likelihood of being surprised by external developments.
Research conducted by the Wharton School of Business found that two characteristics of surprise affect companies' responses: the source of the surprise and the company's ability to react. The source of the surprise can be looked at in two ways – is it from unknown sources (for example, terrorism) or is it a familiar surprise, such as the timing of a recession? While known threats such as recessions can be anticipated better than sudden ones, successful companies are the ones that can adapt to both.
Surprise acts as a risk-multiplier. It's bad enough for companies to be confronted with an external development that complicates their strategy. However, if companies at least have an indication that such developments could occur, they can focus on remediation. When such developments happen by surprise, the company's ability to act in a thoughtful and effective way is compromised. Surprise takes what could be a manageable – though perhaps unpleasant – situation and makes it almost completely unmanageable.
Why do companies do such a poor job of keeping tabs on information that has the potential to cause severe strategic disruptions? I believe there are two causes:
- First, companies have a hard time knowing what to monitor. Given the wide range of industry participants and conditions that can be at the root of external threats, firms struggle just determining what is significant. As a result, many companies attempt to monitor everything, and build elaborate "environmental scanning" systems that crumble under the weight of the mountains of information they accumulate.
- Second, even if companies are able to isolate those external conditions that pose a threat, there are few effective means by which to monitor those conditions. News alerts and filters usually are not precise enough to capture information that is truly diagnostic for assessing a developing threat. At the same time, knowledge management efforts that attempt to encourage employees to share information and observations related to strategic threats have for the most part been a failure.
The early warning indicators a company will monitor may include areas such as technology disruption, competitive shifts, regulatory changes, environmental factors, consumer or social changes, economic conditions and political influences. Analysts should collect industry information from a mix of published and human sources. The information collected can be further synthesized through an IT application designed for just this purpose.
As analysts determine that certain indicators are behaving in such a way so as to present a developing threat, they can generate early warning alerts that argue for a particular strategic option – ideally one considered during the scenario-planning phase. This way, the element of surprise is almost completely eliminated from the equation, and managers can focus on deploying a response.
