Activity One - Case Study
We are almost at the end of the course and are getting a little fatigued. To combat this we are going to answer this syllabus point by creating a case study for Chamonix, France. You focused on Chamonix for the previous syllabus point which looked at the opportunities and challenges for tourism in extreme environments. Therefore you have already looked at the potential damage that tourism can bring to such a fragile area. But things are changing and there is a huge push to go 'green'. We are going to look at what changes have been made in Chamonix and what they propose to do to lesson the impact of tourists in the region. To do this copy and complete the case study grid below. The useful resources will help you to fill in the grid.
Do remember though that the syllabus point is asking you to explore the impact of human activities in extreme environments, therefore you can also include information about growing food in the desert and the impact of the Trans-Alaskan pipeline.

Love our new install. Gentleman who came and did the install was informative and very thorough. We got home automation and security installed, the thermostat is awesome, and being able to control our garage with our phone in case we leave it open is another perk. Def recommend to friends and family.
Cristian Mathias in Gilbert, AZ
My name is Olivia and I am a VERY happy customer! Allegiance Alarms picked up the ball where ADT failed to meet is obligations to stand behind the work done on my house. How can anybody trust a company to protect there loved ones and home when then there ETHICS are poor and they don't stand behind there work!! Mr. Waack has strong ethics, the same concern I have to protect my home and stands behind his work. We live in a great world however there are people out there that only want to do HARM. Unfortunately, an alarm system with working cameras is needed. THANK YOU MR. WAACK!!!!
Olivia Williams in Phoenix, AZScott stopped by my house when my wife was home. She kindly asked if he would come back when I was home as to which he kindly agreed. When Scott came back I was very impressed with him. He was very knowledgeable and friendly. He went over everything that I would need to know for the install. Being as I had previously done research into different security systems I was able to validate everything that Scott said and could not pass up the offer. Andrew did our install and we were very impressed with him as well. He was personable and knowledgeable, and had us up and running in no time. My family loves the system and the peace of mind that it gives us. We couldn't be happier with our security system and recommend them to anyone we know who is looking into security systems.
Christopher Horne in Phoenix, AZI have never had an alarm system before, but the sales representatives and installation was flawless.The system is very easy to use, and the garage door monitor is amazing. No more trips back to see if I remembered to close the garage door! I will write follow up reviews if I encounter any issues, but for now I am very pleased.

Orc Chariots
Orcs have short squat bodies and so find it difficult to ride steeds of any type, so to overcome this problem they ride chariots instead.
The Orc War Chariot is a deadly war machine dragged by poorly treated steeds. The Orcs drive their chariots hard into units of infantry, smashing them up into bits, only to ride off as quickly as they came, to devastate another unit elsewhere on the battlefield.

Attraction Information
- Castles and Palaces
- Tourist Attractions
Suitable for all ages
Venue type: Indoor, Outdoor
A remarkable tribute to master craftsmen, Skipton Castle still stands today complete and habitable after 900 years at the head of the bustling High Street of Skipton.
A major stronghold of the powerful Clifford Lords saw them participating in all the major battles; from Bannockburn to Crecy; Agincourt to the Wars of the Roses. George Clifford, 3rd Earl of Cumberland became Queen's Champion to Elizabeth I distinguishing himself against the Spanish Armada, as well as ransoming Puerto Rico.
The castle was restored after the Civil War by Lady Anne Clifford who planted the Yew tree which still survives in the beautiful Conduit Court 350 years later. Above the imposing Gatehouse with its four strong towers, the motto of the Cliffords is still strong and clear, Desormais, Henceforth.
Visit their website for dates of the re-enactments and come along (in costume if you want) and participate in life in medieval times, see knights and armour and enjoy the mock battles and if you can't wait for your visit, why not have a preview and make your own cut-out model of the Gatehouse or kitchen scene or become Lady Anne Clifford or George, 3rd Earl of Cumberland with your own facemask.
Art is made easy with various scenes to colour in and to make the brain work harder, a wordsearch! It's all there for your entertainment.
Bring your picnic and enjoy a great day out! There's loads to do and loads to see, so heck: bring everybody!

From India:
Can decreased urine creatinine clearance with normal serum creatinine and BUN also suggest decreased creatine production due to decreased muscle mass or decreased muscle use (by sedentary lifestyle and relaxed muscles)?
No, it is not sensitive enough for that.

LIC agents are busy advertising the Varishtha Pension Bima Yojana. An annuity product which would hand out a 'pension' against a lump sum payment at an annual return of a little more than 9%.
Here is why you should not consider any pension product at face value.
- The pension received is typically constant for life. If it increases by 3 or 4%, the pension amount would be significantly lower.
- The pension is taxable as per slab. There are more tax efficient options available: Debt mutual funds and tax-free bonds. With a debt mutual fund, only the capital gain is taxed upon redemption. The taxation is with indexation benefit if the units are above 3 years old. The tax outgo would depend on inflation. There could be no capital gain and therefore no tax, if the inflation is high enough. Even for someone in 10% slab, a debt mutual fund is a better option that a pension plan.
- Your money is locked up in a pension plan. There are several options available upon death of the policy holder (pension to the spouse, return of purchase price etc.) but none of these options can match one in which the retiree has, not only access to the entire corpus, but also can allow it to grow in different buckets of varying risk. See this for details: Generating an inflation-protected income with a lump sum
- As for Varishtha Pension Bima Yojana, the maximum pension is Rs. 5000 per month. So it not meant for people who use computers!
Most retirees do not have a corpus big enough to generate an income that grows each year by about 7-8%. Should such people settle for such pension plans?
NO. They can invest their money in such a way that income grows at least by 2/3% each year in a tax efficient manner.
In general, pension plans should not be purchased immediately upon retirement when the retiree is in fairly good health and can manage his/her own finances or let a professional do it.
If a 60 year old retiree invests his/her corpus intelligently, he/she can buy an annuity 15, 20 years later, when too old to manage the corpus. The annuity in such a case would be considerably higher.
Stay away from all Bimas and Yojana. Instead, come up with your own personalised yojana!
With inputs from Rajendra Dixit and Narendra Kondajji.

Zombie Week 2011: Final day!
Zombies, zombies everywhere and not a brain to chew…
Thank you to everyone who had commented on my blog this week, it was great to get some feedback on certain elements on the zombie worlds…and now for something really boring!
It's fair to say that I've hit my fair share of 'snags' whilst writing this novel. As is the same with all fiction writing a writer will invariably stumble across inaccuracies and inconsistencies in their first draft. This is completely normal of course; it is after all a FIRST draft. Never intended to be seen by any other living, or undead, being. A first draft should be rough and coarse, perfected in later drafts and revisions.
However, some of the inconsistencies in my current WIP are more from indecision and uncertainty rather than from the spilling of words and dropping of incorrect grammar in the race to get the words down on paper as they leak from my brain.
For instance, if the zombies rot away as a normal dead body would then how could they possibly take over the world? Cold weather would freeze the blood if it didn't flow and heat would expand gasses within the body causing major ruptures in the flesh. But if they don't rot away then I need plenty of explanation of why the flesh wouldn't rot, or blood pooling in the lower body parts causing their legs to swell and become useless.
What I'm trying to get at is that even in a zombie book, generally classed as less intelligent fiction, world building needs to take place. I will need to come up with sound scientific principles in order to explain the zombies and there every degenerating condition. I might not need to explain every single part but I will need to work it all out so that at least I understand it.
I'll have to design buildings and streets and jobs and science and maps and a million other things in order to make the novel seem real.
Scratch that, not to make it SEEM real but to MAKE it real…
So basically when I get my 100,000 words, when I reach the target word count, type that magical last word of that magical last sentence – that's when the real work will begin.
Apologies to everyone expecting a grand finish to the blog, I had a bit of a busy day and haven't had much time to think of a subject for today's post.
Before I sign off for Zombie Week 2011 I'd like to give a big thank you to iZombie for covering my blog for a whole week! His posts have helped me corrupt gain a few more followers. To everyone still reading my posts can you please take a few moments to visit his site, you won't regret it!
Until next year keep your machetes sharpened for the zombocalypse!
(But don't leave for good! Normal blog service will resume tomorrow!)

With over 48 million views on Youtube and 3.7 million streams on Spotify, Fergie's latest single, "M.I.L.F. $" is growing fast. This week the single is debuting on the billboard top 100 at No. 34 and it will continue to climb to the top of the charts.
The video continues to generate publicity after Kim Kardashian West posted a behind-the-scenes look at the music video on her website, as well as on her hit reality TV show, "Keeping Up With the Kardashians" earlier this week, along side other celebrities, Ciara and Chrissy Teigen.
Fergie's second solo studio album is rumored to be released this year so stay tuned for updates and expect more from Fergie in the near future. "M.I.L.F. $" was mastered by Engine Room Audio's chief mastering engineer Mark B Christensen and assistant engineer Jeet Suresh Paul.

My long-term clients say that through our work together they have shifted their attitudes and self-perceptions in a way that has helped them to become clearer and more confident. They are braver and feel more connected with themselves and others. While the process of psychotherapy may seem complex, unclear, and even frightening at first, the results are concrete and tangible. Psychotherapy has personally allowed me to see and feel what I love and gain the inner strength to make choices that honor my passion.
You can visit me in my offices in downtown Toronto and North York. Our work will be focused on the specific issues that you bring in. I have helped clients resolve relationship conflicts, manage major life transitions, deal with school-related stress, career stagnation or changes, parenting issues, family challenges, trauma, anxiety, and depression. Despite my familiarity with certain issues, what you are going through is unique to you. In this sense, all that is brought to therapy is fresh to me.
As a couples therapist, I follow the Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) model, staying closely with the emotion at any given moment and helping the couple name the feelings that arise in the session so they can be understood. Understanding brings down levels of tension and opens the door to more caring interactions, compassion, and love.
My ability to transcend cultural and language barriers and my desire to know a person from deep within is rooted in my upbringing, my exposure to multiple countries and my journey through different careers. In addition to English, I speak Bulgarian and fully understand Russian. My background as a professional in the business world, having studied computer science and human-computer interaction, gives me the ability to bridge the cognitive with the intuitive side. I held positions with high-profile companies where my work focused on usability, simplicity of design, productivity, and project management. My rigorous training at the Center for Training in Psychotherapy in Toronto, which included many hours of individual and training group therapy, has provided a very solid background that has been expanded with several years of clinical experience. I have spoken on the topic of psychotherapy several times on the multicultural radio program AM530 in Toronto.
To book an initial psychotherapy consultation, contact me via email at email@example.com or call me at 647-797-3920. Please specify your preferred office location and times. Evening appointments are available. I also offer Skype sessions.

Manilla Users Enjoy the "Everything In One Place" Manilla Organization Experience Over Downloading Multiple Company Apps
NEW YORK, NY--(Marketwired - Mar 25, 2014) - In a recent survey from digital account management service Manilla.com (www.manilla.com), 63 percent of users said they are "more on time" since joining Manilla and have made fewer late payments.

On the next spread, "oops!" the blocks lose balance and a block is about to fall off! The balance and tension appear again and again followed by "oops!" The repetition, fun sounding words and rhythm, the combination of blocks… everything in this book makes a baby giggle with joy!

The Emett Clock will form part of an exhibition of Rowland Emett's work in Birmingham, before returning to intu Victoria Centre once major remodelling work has been completed in 2015.
A team of engineers from intu Victoria Centre worked closely with volunteers from The Rowland Emett Society to dismantle, catalogue and protect the clock as it is taken out of its current home. After being carefully packaged, the clock's journey took it to Birmingham where it received a thorough makeover, to restore it to its former glory.
The clock now takes pride of place at Millennium Point in Birmingham as part of the biggest ever exhibition of Rowland Emett's work. During the clock's time away from Nottingham, intu Victoria Centre will undergo an extensive £40m remodelling, which will include a new catering cluster with 12 restaurants, improved customer facilities and modern new entrances to the centre. The clock will return to the centre in a prominent new location once the remodelling is complete.
Janine Bone, regional centre director at intu Victoria Centre, said: "The Emett Clock is part of the centre's heritage, and its preservation is important to us. There is a great deal of emotional attachment and nostalgia surrounding the clock for many of our customers, and we have listened carefully to their opinions.
"The clock's future was considered very seriously within our discussions about the remodelling of the centre. Sharing the clock with The Rowland Emett Society allows us to protect it during the construction works and restore the clock its former glory. The clock will be returned to the centre in 2015 looking as good as new."

When working towards similar financial goals as your partner, friend or relative, a joint account could be the best option for both parties.
A joint account is a transaction or savings account that is held in two or more names. You can set it up so that either both parties need to sign to approve transactions, or only one account holder has to sign. The table below compares some of the best joint bank accounts in the market. Adjust the monthly deposit amount to see suitable accounts for your needs.
Joint bank account offer
ING Orange Everyday Account
Joint bank account offer
$75 cash bonus. $0 monthly account fees. Receive a $75 cash bonus if you open a new Orange Everyday account, enter the promotional code and deposit at least $1,000 within a calendar month and make 5+ card purchases (T&Cs apply). Get a competitive ongoing variable rate when linked with an ING Savings Maximiser.
- Account keeping fee: $0.00
- Linked debit card: Visa
- ATM withdrawal fee: $0.00
- Overseas EFTPOS fee: 2.5%
Compare joint bank accounts below
These types of accounts are generally used by family members, couples or business partners who trust each other. This is because anyone who is nominated on the account can use the money in any way they see fit. You can compare accounts that allow more than two joint account holders here.
How do savings accounts for couples work?
The account can be opened for the long-term, like an account a couple opens to have their salaries deposited into, or it can be a temporary arrangement to help two people achieve a short-term savings goal such as an overseas holiday.
What are the types of joint bank accounts?
Generally there are two types of joint accounts, namely where both parties have to sign and where either party can sign.
Both parties required to sign
If you would like peace of mind, this is a good option to ensure you know what is happening with the money at all times. This type of joint account requires both account holders to sign for the approval of a transaction for it to be performed. This is popular with business accounts.
However, you have to decide whether the added level of security is required. If you trust your partner implicitly, this may not be the best option as it can make the account difficult to access and less convenient. For example, if you're away and your partner needs money urgently, he or she cannot make any withdrawals or payments without your signature.
Either parties able to sign
When opening a joint account where either party can sign, anyone named on the account can perform a transaction on their own, without the knowledge or approval of the other person. In other words, the level of security is lower than the previous option because the other account holder can spend money without you being in agreement or even knowing about it.
On the other hand, it is a far more flexible option and can make life much easier. For example, a couple may use this account to buy household groceries and pay rent and other bills - needing approval each time you do these things could become very frustrating very quickly.Back to top
Who are joint bank accounts suitable for?
A joint bank account is a good idea for people who really trust each other, and have regular joint payments. It could be your sister, parent or a partner. Opening a joint account with someone you barely know or have just met, even if it's your romantic partner or housemate, is most likely not a good idea.
Steve and Melissa
Steve and Melissa have been together 5 years and have decided to open a joint bank account. They have both changed their details with payroll so they can get their salaries paid into the joint bank account. The main reason behind this is so Melissa can handle any bill payments while Steve is on the road, as he travels a lot for work.
They decide to open an ING DIRECT Orange Everyday Account online. Steve and Melissa both make incidental purchases, for example Melissa often meets friends for coffee while Steve often has a drink at the pub after work. Neither mind the others spending as long as all the bills are paid, and that they're still saving their agreed amount each month.
Should I open a joint bank account with my partner?
If you're in a long-term relationship and you trust your significant other, a joint bank account can be an excellent tool to help you manage your money effectively and achieve financial goals together. Firstly, you won't have to pay the fees twice and, secondly, drawing up a budget and sticking to it might be easier when you both pool your money together. Furthermore, if one of you has to be away for an extended time frame, the other person can take care of all the financial aspects.
The key to success of a joint bank accounts is trust. It is important that both account holders establish clear ground rules and the lines of communication are not only open but used often. If you have even the smallest doubt about your partner, then don't open a joint bank account and give them full access to your money. One option could be to create a joint account where you deposit a limited amount of funds, while keeping your primary salary account separate and in your name only.Back to top
How do I compare joint bank accounts?
The easiest way to find a joint bank account is to use the financial comparison tool above to filter accounts according to your needs. We've done all the hard work for you and will allow you to compare most of the offerings available on the market on one page.
Remember, as with any bank account, you'll want to find a bank that offers joint bank accounts with as few fees as possible. In fact, it's preferable to find one that won't charge you transaction fees, that will give you easy access to your funds and that will offer a reasonably good interest rate on the funds you have in your account.
Coordinating your schedules so you're both available at the same time to open the account would be a nightmare - the majority of banks will let you enter all the information online, saving you a lot of time.

What are the pros and cons to opening a joint bank account?
- Save together. These accounts are well suited to people who have similar spending habits. Both parties should come to an agreement regarding how and when money will be deposited and withdrawn and to ensure that both share the same goals.
- Less fees. People with joint bank accounts don't have as many fees as they would if they had two individual accounts.
- Full transparency. Since both of your names are on the account, you both have access to the other person's money and can see what the other is spending and where.
- Easier to pay and schedule bills. With all the money in one place, it makes it a lot easier for couples to manage their personal finances, pay rent and other bills.
- Complete access to both parties money. If you opt for a joint bank account where either account holder can sign, either party can make purchases without the others consent.
- Division of funds in case of separation. Either of the account holders can clear out the account, regardless of who made the deposits. Yes, you can take the other person to court to recover your share of the money, but it's a long and arduous process that offers you no guarantees.
- Complete transparency. This is a double-edged sword; while there is complete transparency you may lose some of your financial privacy.
Joint bank accounts can also lead to trouble...what can go wrong?
If you prefer your independence, value financial privacy and like managing your own money, then a joint account isn't the best idea.
It's critical that partners and couples are completely open regarding their spending habits. If one person is committed to saving, and the other can't keep their spending under control, this can quickly lead to issues. Furthermore, some couples are hesitant to open a joint bank account because things can get complicated if they separate - it is important to agree on a strategy for this prior to opening a joint account.
You need to be careful if someone is trying to push you into opening a joint bank account. Someone who might have money problems could see you as the answer to their prayers. Things you could hear include: "don't you trust me?", "it means you don't love me" or "what do you think I'm going to do? Run off with your money?" These are all a form of emotional blackmail, and there could be a reason they are so eager to share finances.
The other person's financial status should be clear prior to opening an account together - you don't want to take on someone else's debt. This is especially true about joint bank accounts that offer credit. Your partner could rack up a huge amount of debt they can't pay back and then you both are stuck with a poor credit history. Furthermore, you are just as responsible in the eyes of the law for paying back the loan as is the person who actually spent the money.Back to top
Do you pool your expenses together?
- Do you both use the same budget and consider your costs as shared expenses rather than individual expenses? If all you have is shared expenses, then it is logical to have a joint bank account.
- Do you both spend money the same way?
- Are both financially responsible or not? Is one of you going to scrimp and save while the other empties the account, spending money on frivolous things so that there's no money left to cover the bills? If this is the case, you are better off either keeping things separate or opening a joint account where both of you have to sign for each transaction.
- Are you comfortable with the idea of opening a joint bank account?
- You might save a few dollars on fees, but if you aren't really all that happy about the idea, then don't do it.
- Is the trust there?
- Trusting the other person completely and believing they will be financially responsible at all times, even if things get tough, is essential. If the trust isn't there, you are better off keeping things separate.
- Are the lines of communication open?
- Do you both find it easy to talk about money issues? If there are communication problems regarding money and you feel you need to hold back on expressing your opinion, then you are better off avoiding a joint account.
- Are our financial goals the same?
- You need to confirm that you're both working toward the same financial goals, including short term goals such as an overseas trip together and long term goals like buying a house. If you're not on the same page, a joint account will be less likely to work.
- What is the goal of opening a joint bank account?
- Figure out exactly why you should open an account and see if there is a better way of achieving said objective. If you want to save money on fees, for example, consider whether the few dollars are really worth the worry. You could simply shop around to find an account with lower fees instead of opening a joint account.
Decided to open a joint account? Here are some tips for couples.
Communication is key
If you've decided to go ahead and open a joint bank account with your partner, make sure you talk about the important issues in advance. For example:
- Will either partner have an allowance to spend on whatever they want?
- How much does each party have to put towards the bills, and who will make sure these are paid?
- Are there financial issues that need to be dealt with prior to opening a joint account?
- What to do about financial obligations from the past, like child support, loans or other touchy issues?
- If one party earns a higher salary, will they be allowed to spend more?
Then, you will have to decide which accounts will be set up as joint accounts and which will remain separate. For example, some couples choose to pool their savings in a joint account while their everyday accounts remain separate. Other couples opt to separate ownership of property, such as their homes, especially when said property was purchased before the relationship began.
Work out a budget
To make life easier, put together a monthly budget. Write down all your expenditure for a week, which will allow you to see where the money is going and if there are areas you can cut back on to save some money. Then, decide on a budget. Don't be too strict and make sure to give yourselves some 'play' money. Also, make sure you check in regularly to make sure you're on track with your budget, and address anything that needs changing / isn't working.
Maintain steady savings
No matter how hard we strive to avoid problems, it's best that you make a plan for emergencies. This could be anything from unemployment or illness to an accident or your car needing major work. It's essential to have some money set aside specifically for such emergencies. A personal overdraft could be useful in such situations as well as ensuring you have quite a bit of free credit balance on your credit cards. Of course, don't forget about insurance either. Ideally, though, you should set aside some cash in a separate bank account as well.
Remember your financial goals
By establishing your financial goals and things you want to achieve together you will find it a lot easier to save when you are both working towards the same objective.
For some couples, a joint bank account is a great option. If you decide to go with a joint bank account, you will both have to go to the bank and open the account. Note that certain banks will let you open the account online, which will make life a lot easier in terms of schedules.
Real questions from users
Joint bank accounts can be a good idea but only if you and your partner are on the same page regarding how you spend your money and what your financial goals are. If you are simply opening the account for the sake of convenience, remember that there are plenty of other options that can provide the same level of convenience without the risk. However, if the trust is there, a joint bank account can definitely make life much easier, especially when you are working together to achieve certain financial goals.
Have you considered joint life insurance cover?
If your considering taking out a joint bank account, it could also be worth considering a joint life insurance policy to make sure your spouse or partner is protected. Joint-cover is designed for couples or business partners with similar life insurance cover requirements. As there is only one policy in place for two people, the sum-insured will be paid on a "first death" basis, after the payment is made the contract will end.
Joint life insurance policies generally offer premium discounts of between 5-10%.

Orting police and city officials acted quickly to stop the distribution of a racially charged email and to make clear it didn't reflect the city's policy or practices, an investigation of the Nov. 30 incident concludes.
Seattle attorney Robert Christie investigated the email, which was sent by then-City Councilman Guy "Sam" Colorossi to all members of the Police Department.
Christie found "no evidence of racial insensitivity in the Orting Police Department," which acted within minutes of receiving the message to distance itself from the views expressed by an Internet commentator on the attached video.
The video, titled "Dear White Cops: Do Not Put Your Lives & Careers On The Line Policing Savage Negros (sic)," was produced by controversial YouTube personality TJ Sotomayor.
It urged white officers not to respond to incidents in black communities lest they be labeled "racist" by blacks who didn't like their enforcement activities.
Sotomayor, who is African American, said in the video that blacks were using the racist label to foment violence and discord in their and other communities.
After Colorossi sent the email message, the Police Department's sole minority officer, Nile Teclemariam, complained about the contents.
Colorossi commented in his email message that "a lot of what he (Sotomayor) has to say is true. I hope I never see the day when any one of our officers have to deal with unruly citizens as described in this video."
Orting, a city of about 7,000 residents southeast of Puyallup, has few minority residents. Colorossi said the city's police might encounter more minorities if called to help officers in larger urban areas nearby.
Christie found that Colorosssi, 76, in hindsight was concerned that some who received his message would think it reflected his own viewpoint.
"He did not intend to offend the individuals to whom he sent his email, and is sorry that occurred," the lawyer wrote in his report.
Police Chief William Drake had advised his officers and others in the city not to forward or open the email when he discovered its contents. Mayor Joe Pestinger and City Administrator Mark Bethune quickly sent out an email disavowing Colorossi's email and condemning its contents.
"Given the strong affirmative steps take immediately by Chief Drake, Mr. Bethune and Mayor Pestinger, this isolated incident certainly did not fester in the workplace," Christie wrote.
"Instead, it presented an opportunity for city management to re-emphasize to all city personnel and to the broader community the non-tolerance for discrimination of any kind.
"In my view, there is no need for further corrective action on this matter."
Colorossi, who had a long career in Orting as a councilman, mayor and deputy mayor, was defeated in his bid for re-election by three votes in the November election.
The email came in the wake of a black former Orting police officer's filing a $5 million civil rights lawsuit early last year against the city alleging racial discrimination.
The city maintained the officer wasn't retained beyond his probationary period because of performance issues.

The U.S., known commonly as America, is located in North America south of Canada and north of Mexico. It is bounded on the east by the Pacific Ocean and on the west by the Atlantic. The country declared its independence on July 4, 1776 from British imperial rule and then, after winning in war with England, officially adopted its constitution in 1787. The United States' government is founded on a three-branch system: the executive, the legislative, and the judiciary. Each branch has a set of rights and responsibilities. The design is intended to allow governance to take place with flexibility, fairness, and accountability to the people of the United States. The most notable leader is the president, head of the executive branch and the individual who represents the nation as a whole. Outside of its revolutionary form of government, the United States is notable for its character. Great emphasis is placed on liberty in American culture. This is the result of many factors, including the country's founding as a rejection of British tyranny. Individuality is another important trait. This is modeled in the form of government. While Americans identify themselves with the nation, the make-up of the legislative branch represents each state. This allows citizens to express their individual and local needs.

David H. Hackworth
9 January 1996
Sarajevo, Bosnia -- What a difference peace has made to this city. In 1992, the aircraft that brought me into the, then, besieged and raging inferno, hotlanded and tossed out the passengers and cargo and zoomed out of the field of fire.
As I ran from the C-130, mortar rounds thudded down all over the airstrip. I dove into a bunker. There was no one in sight. Thud, thud, thud cracked the rounds zinging out: Welcome to Sarajevo!
Back then, Sarajevo was a hot place in hell where it was easy to slide into a bodybag. The streets were deserted and everyone moved fast to avoid the incoming mortar, artillery and sniper fire. The only vehicles that used the streets were U.N armored cars. There was the smell of death everywhere and the people wore the 1000 yard stare of combat infantryman on scared faces.
Today, after IFOR's arrival, it's not Disneyland, but a far different place. All the big guns are quiet and there's no need to duck and weave and crawl inside a steel pot.
Sarajevo is mending ever so slowly, after being pummeled with over 2,000,000 rounds. Only a few structures escaped the shell and shot. The city reminds me of Berlin or Dresden in 1946: battered, burned and scarred.
The city, composed of extraordinary valiant Muslim, Serb and Croatian citizens, seems chirpy, full of bustle and the people stride the streets with the proud dignity of a WWII infantryman on leave in Rome after a long hitch on the line. All seem to want the war over and to get on with their lives.
I came to Sarajevo to interview the IFOR high sheriff for peace, Admiral "Snuffy" Smith.
Within the first few minutes of our meeting Smith's XO, USN Captain Rusty Petrea, handed Smith a spot report. "Snuffy" read it, shaking his head, saying in a soft Alabama accent "Mines, damn mines. We gotta be more careful." He took the news of two British soldiers being wounded by a mine as a personal loss, like two of his sons had been hurt in an accident.
Smiths' simple, almost stark, office was different from the rest of the top brass offices I've seen. Perhaps, more like the man: unadorned, plain, no BS. There was no spiffed up Marines, ceremoniously standing at Parade Rest at his door, yet everything was U.S. Navy-like shipshape and on the beam.
I like Smith. He's my kind of warrior: salty, energetic, creative, no-nonsense, the kind of boss that gets his own coffee. He's a natural leader with lots of street-smarts and commonsense.
Under his disarming country boy act there's a damn sharp brain capable of decisive leadership. He seems a cross between Generals U.S. Grant and George Marshall - high intelligence, iron willed and extraordinarily talented.
He won't allow mission creep or sway with the political breeze. He'll tell his chiefs the truth and stand in the door putting principle, his career and his troops' safely over politics.
He went out of his way to give his subordinates credit. "I surround myself with smart people and it makes my job easy," he says.
There was no sign of a big ego ticking away. He's not a Schwarzkopf or a Powell who write thick books, but never mention the little guys who made it all work. To listen to these perfumed princes, they did it all by themselves.
I'm not sure that his biggest problems here won't be with the politically correct Washington crowd and the top ranking perfumed princes.
His NATO boss, General George Joulwon just put out General Order No. 1 which says U.S. IFOR warriors are prohibited from consuming "alcoholic beverage."
This doesn't make sense! Our warriors can risk their lives in the Balkan minefields, but are not responsible enough to have a couple of beers!
I imagine Smith and sweet smelling, micromanaging Joulwon, will have a few heated words about this stupid order.
I am not sure the mission here can be accomplished within the one year time limit, but am convinced if any skipper can guide the IFOR ship through the dangerous waters that lay ahead, it's Adm. Smith.
As one of his Annapolis classmates says, "Snuffy" is the right guy for the job." Amen!

This is a flag that I have also had since the boys were little!! It has begun to fade with the sun!
Here I put out a few things on the front porch. Some dollar store items and pumpkin accessories that I had from winning prizes at our monthly Bunco games! My boys had to have the lighted pumpkin on the floor from years ago!
A close up of my cheap little items! They are cute enough!
I am linking up to Jenny Matlock's Rainbow Summer School for any color we want this week!! I think my fall colors are in that range!!

noun, plural charismata
[kuh-riz-muh-tuh] (Show IPA)
Theology. a divinely conferred gift or power.
a spiritual power or personal quality that gives an individual influenceor authority over large numbers of people.
the special virtue of an office, function, position, etc., that confers or is thought to confer on the person holding it an unusual ability for leadership, worthiness of veneration, or the like.
Charisma is one of the main tools in the arsenal of a man who wants success with women. One of the main way you express charisma is through your speech- the way you converse with a woman. You should aim to effortlessly create chemistry, desire and positive feelings in a woman while simultaneously building rapport and trust.
There is no "clown game" here. No effeminate behaviors, and certainly no ass kissing.
You muzzle your ego, you need to be right, you penchant to create controversy and let the woman feel wanted, feel smart and feel important.
The most important aspects of Charsimatic speech are understanding what NOT to say and how to say things.
Before you get worried that there's a lot to keep in mind when developing Charisma, let me say this:
When in doubt, do three things:
1) Be a good listner
2) Use humor when you feel pessimistic about the conversation
3) Check your ego
Without further ado, here are QuitPornGetGirls 15 keys to Charisma with Women
1) No One Upping:
Oh, how guilt I am of this. When a woman shares a story about some dramatic event at work, or an accomplishment of hers- let her have it fully.
She is sharing it with you because she enjoys the feelings that occurred during the event and more importantly, she enjoys sharing it.
Congratulate her. As more questions about how she feels and get the nitty gritty details. Yes, she may go on and on about it, but the point is that she wants to smart and important. Bear with it.
She isnt sharing the story to give you material to one up her and tell her how even more incredible your day was. If she tells you she saw a beautiful house today, smile and ask about it. Don't tell her about the nicer one you saw. Get the details, let her feel observant and smart.
Men sometimes feel a strong urge to relate similar experiences- its considered part of normal, polite conversation. But "normal" men don't quit porn and they certainly don't get laid on a consistent basis.
The problem is that this urge is motivated by our ego and leads to us showing how our world is bigger, better, more exciting and colorful than anything she could ever describe.
Your world is superior. Therefore, she is inferior.
It make you look insecure.
Women aren't attracted to insecure men.
2) Don't Be Cheap:
I'm not talking about the "whether or not to pay on a date" situation. I couldn't care less whether you pay or not- you should have your shit togetherto th epoint that paying for a date never hurts your wallet or your value. I'm talking about being a pricing know-it-all.
If a girl bought a new car and got charged higher than normal, or she ordered something onoine at an overpriced rate, its none of your damn business.
Don't rail on her for how she got ripped off and start spouting all the places where she could have purchased her service for a cheaper rate.
Again, you come across as being judgemental and cheap-not helpful and knowledgeable. When you imply that a woman is wrong, she will hold it against you.
You are superior. Therefore she is inferior.
Therefore you will not get laid.
Doesn't matter if you work in the field where she overpaid for a product or service.- if she wanted your opinion, she would ask you.
You have no idea why she "overpaid". Maybe they deliver overnight or for free. Maybe all her girlfriends shop there. Maybe she's banging the car salesman and gets free servicing and a loaner vehicle everytime she goes to the dealership.
Yes, women do get ripped off my unethical men. But bear in mind that if she is attractive and chooses to use her femininity to get a discounted rate, she'd easily beat whatever price your know-it-all ass could get her.
Don't be cheap.
3) Be Respectful:
Whenever you find yourself in a discussion concerning mutual acquaintances, family or friends-always demonstrate respect in your speech.
Do not be judgemental.
Tact goes a long way.
My favorite response to a story about a friend who is full of crap is: "She's quite…interesting."
"Jen seems like she doesn't do the "fitness thing". She probably doesnt have the time since she's always busy checking out restaurants with her gang and reviewing them on Yelp." (Fatty)
"Your friend Brittany does seem to date a lot of guys these days. Maybe she's just searching for something her parents couldn't give her." (Slut.The bad kind.)
Why do you need to show tact and respect despite your true feelings? Its simple. If you join her in bashing her friends, she will naturally assume that you do the same behind her back.
Treat her with respect as well. This means NOT treating her as one of the guys. Doesn't matter is she loves football, shooting, videogames and martial arts. She is a woman and still wants to feel desired and sexy.
Respect means reining in the compliments and dropping them when required.
Don't gush over her.
4) Don't talk about ex girlfriends:
This is a no-brainer. Women want to be the center of attention- there cannot be anyone in the past or future threatening her position.
When you speak about your ex girlfriends, she will assume that you still think about her and that there is a chance you could get back together. Even if there is no logical way that would happen-she will still feel emotional about the prospect.
Don't talk shit about your ex either- she will assume that you will do the same if she's no longer with you.
5) Absolutely avoid sensitive issues:
Stay away from all belief systems. Religion, politics, feminism, environmentalism, vegeterianism, and so on.
You will be tested on your belief system, but you should stay away because you never know which side of the issue she supports.
You should never deny your own position on an issue to change it to suit hers.
When you opinion conflict- especially if you are still getting to know her, you set the stage for a winner and a loser. Right and wrong. If she ends up feeling wrong, she get emotional and defensive.
Emotional and defensive women don't feel like dropping their panties for you.
Some women are almost militant about their beliefs and will actively seek to find out your opinion. If you haven't slept with her yet- don't tell her anything.
My favorite response:
" There are two things I believe should be private- religion and politics" or (insert whatever politically correct issue she's digging to find out about)
You aren't any more of a "man" for stating that you hate feminism and vegetarians. After you sleep with her or build more comfort in whatever sort of relationship you have- feel free to express your opinion.
6) Be Cool:
Yelling, impatience and reactiveness destroy your chances with women.
Don't yell- speak from your diaphragm and think before you open your mouth.
If she's trying to get a reaction out of you. Don't react. Smile, slow it town and use humor to diffuse the tension.
Most situations with women can be diffused by non reaction. You don't do drama.
7) Be Happy:
Women say they want a sense of humor and personality. Don't beat yourself up trying to figure that out.
Just figure out how YOU can be happy in your life on your own.
Create the lifestyle you want, do the thing you want to do. Pick friends your enjoy, hobbies you enjoy, and life your days fully. When you are creating the life that will make you happy, you will automatically take yourself less seriously and become more humorous, develop your personality positively; becoming the sort of man they desire aka "sense of humor and personality guy"
Being happy and having a good time is attarctive to women. It demonstrates self confidence and control which implies success and status.
8) Speak Intelligently:
When was the last time you looked up a word in the dictionary? I read somewhere that the average American has an eight grade reading comprehension level.
Most people never open a dictionary or read and educational book after graduating college or high school.
Improving your vocabulary will help you in business and with women. You don't have to sound like your trying hard by dropping bombastic words all over the place, but you must sound like you have a clue about what you're discussing.
If you are not familiar with a topic- don't try and act like a know it all. Keep you mouth shut and if you open it, do so only to ask questions and educate yourself.
Keep It Simple, Stupid.
I have literally lost women by running my mouth. It's unattractive and smothering.
If you have a story to tell, be able to tell it in 90 seconds to 3 minutes. Short and sweet.
Women love mystery- not the man that reveals everything about himself in a 10 minute story.
10) Develop Your Eye Contact:
Eye contact is about presence and intensity. We live in a time where people just pull out their phones and start swiping through instagram if they don't find you interesting.
Focus on a woman when you speak to her and treat her as you would an intellectual equal. Doesn't matter if she isnt.
The majority of men brag about themselves, never listen, check out every chick that walks by and completely miss the nuances of her body language.
Be different- no puppy dog eyes, no glaring, stalker eyes, just consistent presence and attention.
Honestly, these are the basics to charismatic conversation. I'm guilty of a few, but I've worked on most. If you're lacking in any of them, I highly recommend working on it till it becomes a part of you.
These keys help not just with women, but in business as well.
Check out this great speech by Julian Treasure on how to get people to listen to you when you speak.
