Crowdsourced network-map service OpenSignal has announced that they have raised $4 million in a Series A round led by Qualcomm Ventures, the investment arm of telco giant Qualcomm. Also participating in the round are San Francisco-based O'Reilly AlphaTech Ventures and London-based Passion Capital.
The service, which maintains offices in London and San Francisco, previously obtained $1.3 million in a seed round from this same group of investors back in September, 2012. CEO Brendan Gill writes that they plan to use the new funding primarily to expand their team.
OpenSignal offers free, and ad-free, iOS and Android apps that allow mobile users to search local cell and WiFi networks to determine their strength. Both apps have been installed more than 5 million times.
It is a crowdsourced service, taking data from users to provide a map of local towers and to rank local networks. Thus far, they say that they have mapped more than 824K cell towers and provided more than 5.1 million signal readings.
Last year, the company launched WeatherSignal, a crowdsourced weather map. Since launch, the weather-oriented app has been installed hundreds of thousands of times.

text: Drastic reductions in amounts of lead in gasoline will benefit inner-city minority residents the most and suburban whites the least, a study at Argonne National Laboratory has concluded. The study, funded by the Department of Energy`s office of minority economic impact, examined a regulation enacted by the federal Environmental Protection Agency that will reduce gasoline lead content by about 90 percent by next January. ``By and large, minorities will benefit because they tend to live in central cities,`` said James Throgmorton, who directed the Argonne study. ``They will gain in the form of cleaner air, while their cost of living will be relatively unaffected by higher gasoline prices because many of them do not own cars.`` People living in suburban areas, whose air won`t be affected much, may bear the greatest costs of the regulations if they own older cars that now use the cheaper leaded gas, the study found.

Have you heard about the Halloween party they throw at Penguin headquarters in New York? It is so epic, so awesome, so legen(wait-for-it)dary that everyone in the company receives a safety memo beforehand reminding them of rules like, "Please, no fire." Each department goes all out to create the best theme, including decorations, costumes, food, and booze. One year, someone built a full-scale, old-timey saloon in the copy room. They go NUTS.

Your Name.
Your Name, the body switching, science fiction, teenage drama that took the anime world by storm last year is finally out in US theaters. As both fan of the genre and director Makoto Shinkai, I can say that Your Name has indeed exceeded my expectations and deserves all the praise it's receiving.
Your Name takes us back and forth between the lives of Taki and Mitsuha, the former residing in Tokyo and the latter in a mountainous small town. Both environments are filled to the brim with Shinkai's lush scenery and attention to detail. Just as all of his work is a marvel to look at, Your Name also explores Shinkai's familiar themes of distance, longing and wistfulness. Throughout the film, I kept hearing echoes of issues explored in Shinkai's breakthrough short Voice of a Distant Star— a great place to dive into Shinkai's work for feeling inspired after the Your Name.
There is a sense of balance that lets the film explore it's dramatic side while firmly keeping its characters and story with the lightness associated with adolescence and high school. A good bit of the film is dedicated to establishing humor and levity between our two leads, the people they interact with daily and how they all react to the body-switching premise. Entertaining, sure, but this also serves as a foundation to make the film's later, headier 'musings' about fate more digestible and meaningful. As the film comes to its last part and coda, the groundwork from this setup will have many surprised at just how invested they are with the characters.
Ultimately, Your Name is a huge step in the right direction for both director Shinkai and the medium as a whole. The film may feel overlong near its last bits, maybe a little overly sentimental too, but it remains solidly entertaining through and through. The more recognition it gets the more people will begin to see the viability of anime as a medium to tell great stories. Maybe not that big of an effect, but the afterglow Your Name leaves can't be denied.

Fitness Classes
Abs & Core: Take time to focus on your abs and core - think front and back of your torso. This class is an awesome way to finish your workout - or is a great workout all on its own.
Barre Fitness: Combinations of ballet-inspired lower body work, low-weight resistance training, and bodyweight work, make for an intense, yet low-impact toning workout. Moves are done on the mat and at the barre. No dance experience necessary.
BC-X & Barbells: Takes the high-intensity, high-impact interval training of BC-X, but we're raising the bar, literally. Non-stop interval circuits will include body weight and plyometric exercises, but with the added challenge of the Iron Grip Strength Equipment. Expect a full-body workout combining resistance strength training and cardio endurance.
Bootcamp: Mixes traditional calisthenic and body weight exercises with interval training and strength training. This class occasionally goes outside so please dress in layers.

HIIT & Strength: Focus the first half of the class on cardio with high intensity interval training (HIIT) sequences and the second half of class on strength with bodyweight and weighted moves to tax the muscles.
Pilates Sculpt: Embrace the burn in Pilates Sculpt, a Pilates-inspired class incorporating resistance bands and weights. The class will start with a mind/body warm-up and progress in intensity to burn out the abs, arms, legs, and glutes. All this combined with upbeat music in order to feel strong, empowered, and sweaty!
Spin: Indoor cycling taught to energizing music by a wide variety of instructors with different styles! Classes are labeled as Spin 45 or Spin 60 to differentiate class length in minutes.

Fresh from a weekend trip to Iraq, U.S. Rep. Jim Marshall said he saw a strong sense of optimism that the country will survive as a democracy, and he witnessed an unprecedented effort to move equipment from Iraq to Afghanistan as a troop surge is readied.
This was Marshall's 16th or 17th trip to Iraq, he said, giving him a series of snapshots of the situation there. He traveled briefly with Army Chief of Staff George Casey and met with Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki, as well as some of the country's department ministers and American soldiers.
"There was a real sense of optimism this time around that I had not seen in prior trips," said Marshall, D-Georgia. "You can't guarantee this, but it does seem that the momentum (for democracy) is now to the point that it's just not going to be reversed by al-Qaida ... or Saddam (Hussein) loyalists."
Marshall said he was particularly heartened by ongoing plans to repair Iraq's oil infrastructure, which he said will "dramatically upgrade their oil production capacity." That should create enough wealth to keep unfriendly factions from warring with each other for some time, providing cover while the democratic ideal of a peaceful transition of power takes hold, he said.
Marshall also spent time in Kuwait and said he witnessed some of the mammoth preparations there to shift American forces into Afghanistan as part of President Obama's plan to move another 30,000 troops to Afghanistan. The Georgia National Guard's 48th Brigade, which is based in Macon, is already in Afghanistan.
"Coordinating hundreds of moving parts over long distances and making sure everything gets there at the right time, to the right folks ... there has not been a military in the history of the world capable of doing what we're doing right now," Marshall said.
This surge is part of Gen. Stanley McChrystal's strategy in Afghanistan, and Marshall said that strategy "makes sense, it's worth trying, no guarantee of success."
Marshall left Washington, D.C., for his trip Thursday and returned to the United States on Monday evening. He caught up with Casey, who is making an around-the-world trip that included stops in Korea and Afghanistan, as well as Iraq, according to the Army. On his way home, Marshall visited the Landsthul Regional Medical Center in Germany, where the human cost of war was evident.
"I spent some time in a hospital room with a National Guard soldier from Texas, an MP whose parents and pregnant wife were at the bedside with him," Marshall said. "He was sedated. ... He had lost his right leg below the knee."
Marshall said the soldier was in an armored Humvee damaged by an explosion. He was badly burned, but his parents were hoping he had escaped serious brain injury. The soldier wants to be a police officer and "was apparently a very bright musician," Marshall said.
"Nobody wants this (war) to last a minute longer than is absolutely necessary," Marshall said. "But patience is called for here. This is a real threat. It's not going away."
Marshall was back in Macon on Tuesday evening. In this season of goodwill toward men, The Telegraph asked him what Americans can do to advance that cause as U.S. soldiers remain in Iraq and Afghanistan.
"We've got Georgia 48th in Afghanistan with families back in Georgia," Marshall said. "A good thing, a very helpful thing is to be supportive of the families that are deployed.
"And, then, it's a matter of being prepared to be patient," he said.

Wolfman on "Green Lantern/Plastic Man" One-Shot
A horde of aliens is living undercover on Earth and they're smuggling weapons off-planet to fuel an interstellar war. Who you gonna call? Who else but Green Lantern and – wait for it – Plastic Man! That's right. The only superhero capable of lending an elongated hand to Hal Jordan on the intergalactic case told in the pages of the upcoming "Weapons of Mass Deception" is Patrick "Eel" O'Brian.
Created by by writer-artist Jack Cole, Plastic Man first appeared in Quality Comics' "Police Comics" #1 in August 1941. When Quality Comics closed its doors in 1956, DC Comics acquired Plastic Man and integrated him into the DCU. Over the past 50 years, he's been a featured player in a number of top-selling titles including more recent turns in Grant Morrison's "JLA" and Frank Miller and Jim Lee's "All Star Batman and Robin the Boy Wonder."
Kyle Baker wrote and illustrated an Eisner and Harvey award winning "Plastic Man" series lasting 20 issues from 2004 to 2006. There is also a long-rumored Ethan Van Sciver project and Plastic Man is a regular cast member of the animated TV series, "Batman: The Brave and The Bold," but if you want a good old fashioned story featuring Eel O'Brian, your best bet is checking out "Green Lantern/Plastic Man: Weapons of Mass Deception" by legendary writer Marv Wolfman ("Teen Titans") and Brent Anderson ("Astro City") on December 15.
Wolfman told CBR News he loves writing Plas but isn't sure if the character could stretch himself to carrying his own ongoing series. He also shared an update on the "Teen Titans: Games" original graphic novel, his long-in-development collaboration with George Perez, and teased two new projects for DC Comics.
CBR News: You had me at Green Lantern and Plastic Man. How did this wonderful mash-up come about?
Marv Wolfman: Actually, it was Brent Anderson's idea. It was so wonky, it worked.
You obviously enjoyed a lengthy run with Hal in the early eighties but have you written Patrick "Eel" O'Brian before?
I did write a Plastic Man story back in the seventies, but I've been a Plas fan since I first saw him way back when I was a kid.
What do you love most about these two superheroes and what makes them such a sublimely odd couple?
Plastic Man is insane, Green Lantern is straight-forward. But then you add in the fact that both are actually cops in a way; one is interstellar and the other undercover. They are both opposites and similar.
Can you share any details about the story beyond what we already know from the solicitations?
Beyond that, all I'll say is that GL could not have done this without Plas and vice versa; the story works for both of them, but each can't possibly see the other's approach.
Aliens living undercover, smuggling weapons off-planet to fuel an interstellar war, sounds vaguely familiar. Any truthiness behind this fantastic fiction?
Sure. We have aliens from other worlds smuggling weapons going on all the time. I know it's true 'cause I read about it in "World Weekly News." Nah. I was coming up with a story that required both a space element and an earth-crime story so each of our heroes would be serviced. Simple as that.
You get to work with Brent Anderson on this one. What does he bring to a project?
Intelligence and great art. He tells a helluva story and is a great guy, too.
With the upcoming movie and three ongoing Green Lantern titles currently coming out, the glow of the Lantern illuminates the entire DCU so this one-shot makes sense for DC to publish. Do you think Plas could ever carry his own title in today's comic climate and would you take a crack at him?
I don't think a Plas book could sell in today's all-too-serious climate, but I love writing comedy and adventure and would absolutely love to write him.
Any chance we'll see "Green Lantern/Plastic Man : Weapons of Mass Deception" #2?
Been there. There's other stories to tell.
Before I let you go, can you please update us on the "Teen Titans: Games" OGN?
We're trying to finish it right now. George has 17 pages or so to go, and it's looking great.
Finally, what else are you working on these days besides the "Gods of War" miniseries?
Two new books for DC, but I can't tell you what they are. Sorry.
"Green Lantern/Plastic Man: Weapons of Mass Deception," written by Marv Wolfman and featuring art by Brent Anderson, goes on sale December 15.

I've been collecting scraps for years now, just trying to think of many fun ways to put them to use. Scrap book? That's so much work… And expensive when you think of all of the paper, and do-dads and the actual book you have to buy and extra pages… I have a big old sketch book that I like to glue just random things in and write a little diddy about what happened that day. That's my own little fun book. But then there's this idea for giving a gift to someone to remember an event of some type. I gave this gift to remember 2011.
Step 1: Collect your scraps. Brosures, stickers, photos, receipts, ticket stubs, and little notes work perfectly. You will also need 3 book binding rings to hold everything together.
Step 2: Figure out the size of your book, and what you want to use for pages. I found some old wallpaper books, and used the paper as my pages. I decided to make my book the size of a small notebook, about 7″ x 5″. I made a paper template with 3 holes punched in it to figure out where to punch the holes in the pages I used. you can use anything for the base of your pages to attach things to.
Step 3: Punch holes in your pages, and start the assembly. You can punch holes in the pictures you are using, or you can glue them to your base pages.
Here's my finished book! I used scraps of wallpaper and fun scissors to create most of the pages. You can punch holes in and add just about anything.
This is a page from when we got our cat, Amelia.
I found little cards with quotes on them, and used them in the book.
I even used old post cards to signify trips to certain locations.
You can add stickers to photos to tell what they are.
Maps are a great thing to add.
I took the cheap way of getting last minute photos to throw in the book by printing them off myself on an Inkjet printer. But hey, it's the thought that counts!
Be sure to add the best moments.
Hockey game and tickets. I even added some punched envelopes to toss in little movie ticket stubs.
You can see that I folded the wallpaper pages here, to get a cleaner edge that didn't peel apart if I had glued 2 pages back to back. I can see now after adding these pages that I need to get a new camera… Investment? I think so! Happy book-making!

Well I guess it is frugal that I never got another pet after our last dog died. Family is visiting the area this weekend and it should be low key. They drove a long ways and I think based on past experience won't want to go places/spend money.
Well I guess it is frugal that I never got another pet after our last dog died. Family is visiting the area this weekend and it should be low key. They drove a long ways and I think based on past experience won't want to go places/spend money.
Not a very frugal month. Had the tree guy out again to take care of a big limb of our walnut that went down in a storm. Not two weeks after he was out here to trim back the walnut from the neighbor's roof (that would have saved a couple hundred). Lots of visitors, too. It's great to see them, but you can see the effects on the food and utility bills.
- We have been the recipient of the bounty from others' gardens and it's produce we've been able to use.
- Got yet another rebate check from our insurance company; turns out their eyeball house replacement cost estimate was off by a bunch so we got some $$ back.
- I finally broke down and bought an electric string trimmer. I had had terrible luck with string trimmers before this so I got what is essentially a pair of shears on a waist-high metal tube. But I couldn't use them for very long before my hands blistered, especially when I worked on my other property. So I tried a different brand that seems to get good reviews, and I bought their least expensive model judging that it would be good enough. It is. I still have other pruners for the volunteer trees that this trimmer won't handle.
- Been filling our freezer again with produce and food on sale. Looks like we may get a second freezer from my mom, who can no longer keep hers full. Not sure if we'll keep it; it's no bigger than the one we have though it is newer. I've learned the key to freezing food at lower risk is to diversify where you freeze it...
If Americans expended even a fraction of the energy on civic engagement that we spend on consumer ideology, our democracy would be much healthier. Can you imagine people camping out to vote? -- Charles Roberts, Amherst, Mass., Nov. 25, 2006
I've been participating in a clinical trial for a new medication and get $75 per weekly appointment. It goes on for ten weeks. It's nice...I get out of the house, away from the computer, and get paid far more for doing virtually no work at all. Plus, they gave me a free, enormous tee-shirt that I've repurposed as a summer nightgown!
This is sales tax holiday weekend in Massachusetts. I stocked up on toilet paper.

Topic: How to organize the knowledge base on to functions and project business rules?
Came to the new company, to me analysts in it were not, requirements were considered orally and not fixed in any way. Told to write the document with the description of features of the project (hierarchy of the user functions, in other words) that further it was possible to see at arguing of a new functional before eyes existing (to see conflicts ). I decided to make with hierarchy of functions, communicated with and the manager, pulled out from them tons of the facts on hierarchy functions and business rules on which they work. As that it is necessary to organize these facts in the knowledge base. I think if to thrust this all in one (and functions, and business rules) - there will be a porridge. If to mark business rules as that (cloudlets-comments) to features - whether it it will be evident enough? Can eat any best method it to implement in the form of one document?

Value Added Tax, popularly known as VAT, is a special type of indirect tax in which a sum of money is levied at a particular stage in the sale of a product or service. In 1954, the value added tax system was initiated by the then joint director of the tax authority of France, Maurice Laure. VAT came into effect on the first time on 10th April, 1954.
From its inception, the value added tax system was imposed on all major sectors of France the first country to use this system. Once instituted, it was immediately clear that revenues collected from the VAT system constituted a substantial share of the governments revenue in the French economy. Not surprisingly, due to the ease of payment and ready comprehensibility, the value added tax system has been adopted by different nations across the world. VAT is intended to be levied or charged whenever there is some value addition to raw material.
While Value Added Tax (VAT) and Goods and Services Tax (GST) have been a part of tax landscape in Europe for the past 50 years or so, they have only become a regular occurrence in the Asia Pacific region in the past 10 to 20 years. It has been said that VAT is still an adolescent tax in Europe. In Asia, it is very much in infancy. VAT/GST is still finding its feet, and in many Asian countries it has not yet found its voice. Few do not have a VAT/GST system in place and those without are either in the process of introducing one or more are seriously considering the option. As the economies in this region grow, so will the importance of the indirect taxes. VAT is, arguably, the most efficient and effective method of providing the revenue that governments need, without stifling the growth of business.
Asia Pacific The Next Economic PowerhouseAsia Pacific is an extremely large and diverse region with economies and societies ranging from the highly developed (e.g. Australia) to the slowly developing (e.g. Myanmar). Clearly, there are many challenges facing the region as different as different countries develop, at different rates. Despite these challenges, the region has vast potential for growth. Containing the two most populous countries in the world (India and China)and more than half of the worlds population, the potential of the Asia Pacific marketplace is enormous. In the past 10 years, or less, the region has developed to become an important economic powerhouse. China has become the worlds fourth largest economies and has fast become one of the worlds most influential economy.
This has also not gone unnoticed by the current major powerhouses US and the EU. Both have significantly increased their investments in the region over the past 5 years. Likewise, investments from the Asia Pacific region into the US and the EU are also increasing.
Indirect Taxes In The Region What Is To ComeVAT and GST are gradually becoming more established in the Asia Pacific Region. South Korea was the first to introduce a VAT system in 1976. Over the years, more countries have adopted an indirect tax system, with a large increase in introductions in the 1990s. The latest country to adopt a VAT system is India, where it took effect from 1st April 2005. Currently, VAT in India is collected with a number of other state and federal taxes on consumption and the indications are that it will take some time before VAT becomes the main or only indirect tax. It is interesting to note that a report published a few months after the introduction of VAT indicated that it was already having a noticeable positive effect on the government finances for some of the Indian States. Two countries with plans to establish indirect tax systems are Hong Kong and Malaysia. Hong Kongs proposal to introduce GST in the next few years will depend upon the outcome of a public consultation planned for mid 2006. Malaysias plans to introduce a GST on 1st January 2007 have been postponed.
A Copy Is Not The Same As Original The Differences Between The EU And Asia-Pacific Indirect Tax SystemsIt needs to be understood that while Asia Pacific countries may have an indirect tax that is known either as VAT or GST, many of these do not conform to the model generally known to European VAT specialists. In many cases, these taxes are structured more like sales tax and are often without any input tax recovery mechanism. A prime example of this is China, where VAT was introduced in 1994 as part of the package of indirect taxes. In China, VAT only applies to goods and the provisions of repairs, replacement and processing services. VAT is only recoverable on goods used in the production process. VAT on fixed assets is not recoverable as input tax. Exports of goods are zero rated. However, the amount of input VAT that can be recovered against exports has varied considerably over the past 10 years. It has ranged from being more or less fully recoverable to only 13% recoverable. With a tax rate of 17%, this means that companies doing business in China need to be aware of the real cost of VAT, even for exports. In addition, businesses need to cope with other turnover taxes such as business tax and consumption/ excise tax.
While the indirect tax systems in other Asia Pacific countries may be more recognizable to European VAT specialists, they can still be very complex. For example, there are 5 positive rates, a zero rate and over 30 categories of exemption on Indonesia. This is extremely difficult to administer, especially as most businesses in Indonesia are registered and their accounting systems are not always sophisticated.
On the other hand, there are countries such as New Zealand and Singapore where the indirect tax systems are probably the simplest in the world. Virtually everything is taxed at one rate and exemptions are kept to a minimum. The structures and complexity of the indirect tax systems vary considerably within the region. One of the biggest dangers for a VAT /GST advisor is to assume that an understanding of the European model transfers into an understanding of how indirect tax works in each of the Asia Pacific countries. While the legislation may look similar, key words or phrases may be missing or subtly different. Local tax authorities also often adopt an interpretation that is contrary to that taken by the country from which the legislative provision was adopted. In addition, in many of the Asia Pacific countries, the tax authorities and the systems to account for indirect taxes can be cumbersome and inflexible. Administrative tasks will often take far longer to complete than in other parts of the world. Refund may be impossible or only made after extensive audits. There is often little consistency in interpretation, or objectivity, even from tax officials in different offices within the same country.
There is also, generally, a lack of case laws and businesses cannot rely on EU case law to convince the local tax authorities that their approach is the right one. It is therefore imperative for businesses to seek advice from locally based specialists. They understand how the indirect tax system works in their country and are able to guide businesses through the best way to negotiate with the local revenue authority.
Understanding Indirect Taxes In Asia PacificDespite moves to liberalize trade in the region, there are still many instances where the operation of VAT or GST creates serious problems. This is often teamed with punitive penalties for errors. For example, fear of fraud means that in many countries full audits are routinely carried out before refunds are made. These audits will often look at all taxes, not just VAT or GST.
Clearly, there is still a long way to go to achieve predictable and effective indirect taxation in the region. The ASEAN goal of a tariff free region is laudable and should be possible within reasonable timescales, as long as the political will is strong. However, the chances for a single market similar to the EU, where goods move cross border without Customs inspection or VAT/GST is very remote.
Given the economic growth in the region and its growing importance to the world in terms of both production and consumption, companies with ambitions to be truly global will have to trade in the region. When they do, they will need to deal effectively with indirect taxes to ensure that their business plans are executed successfully. This will mean not only understanding the administrative issues but also costs in time, stuck tax and potential penalties.
Understanding the impact of indirect taxes on business plans is often far from easy, making indirect taxes a huge challenge for businesses operating across the region.

Re: Acheson/Atcheson-Grey Co., Ontario
Hi Shawna, Sorry to take so long responding. There is no David that I am aware of in my family. Robert was born in the 1850's. His father was William Hamilton Atcheson born in 1833 in Ireland, he emigrated to Canada in 1847, his father was Matthew born 1793 Ireland.I don't know of any siblings for William, he usually was known as Hamilton.There is a David Atcheson in Hastings County Ontario in the 1856 survey.Our family name was originally spelled with a "T", have you tried searching that way.All the best in your search.

The latest issue of Entertainment Weekly has some brand-new photos from The Amazing Spider-Man, and one of them gets you right up in the green face (snout?) of the movie's villain, the Lizard.
In the pages of its new "Summer Must List" issue, EW debuts a clutch of new shots from the July 3 release, which reboots the Spider-Man franchise with a new cast (including Andrew Garfield in the title role), new director (Marc Webb) and long-awaited villain in Dr. Curt Connors, aka the Lizard, played by Rhys Ifans.
In one of the shots, we see a still semi-human Connors looking alarmingly at his mutating arm, while a second pic features Gwen Stacy (Emma Stone) surveying the damage caused by the doctor in a presumably reptilian state.
But the real money shot is a close-up of the Lizard's face staring through what looks like blinds of some kind—and we feel bad for whoever he's looking at, because his hideous visage is about 10 inches away.
And while he doesn't exactly have a snout, we're happy to say that the Lizard's famous lab coat will at least make a token appearance in the film.
What do you think of this latest look at the leering Lizard?

Let me tell you about an event that left me inspired, motivated and filled with genuine happiness for at least the next 6 months.This week I travelled all the way to Berlin to participate in the book launch of Milena Glimbovski's new book called "Ohne Wenn und Abfall" ( English: "Without if's and Garbage"…it makes sense in German I swear.").
Despite a little dilemma that included a 4-hour bus delay which led to me missing most of the actual book reading, I still got to participate a little, take in the atmosphere and connect with lovely like-minded people that had the same interest and curiosity for the topic of Zero Waste.
The book "Ohne Wenn und Abfall" is as Milenas curated insight into her Zero Waste lifestyle. From how she founded the first Zero Waste Shop in Germany called "Original Unverpackt", to a glimpse of how she handles everyday activities with a sustainable approach to helpful recipes and starter tips for everyone interested in adopting a more sustainable and eco-friendly lifestyle. To be honest, the trip would also just have been worth it for the food alone. The treats they offered were not just made from locally sourced and Zero Waste goods, they were also the kind of treats that leave your mouth watering for weeks to come.
To mark the occasion, we even got to eat one of the most delicious, gooey zucchini chocolate cakes I have ever eaten. I might as well never have chocolate cake again, it would be no comparison to this one.
Milena is the kind of woman you meet and instantly feel like you've known her forever. She lightens up every room with just a lagom amount of charm, and her sarcastically funny personality instantly inspires you to be yourself unapologetically.All in all, I travelled 24 hours just to be there for 2 and let me tell you: I'd do it again in a heartbeat. Now excuse me while I finish my last chapter.*
* Come back tomorrow for the actual book review.

The tools and hardware industry makes $164 billion annually," says Scott Cooper, CEO and Creative Director of World Patent Marketing. "The market is well-positioned to experience even more robust growth during the next five years.
Miami, FL (PRWEB) August 18, 2016
World Patent Marketing, a vertically integrated manufacturer and engineer of patented products, introduces Cord Cone, a household invention made to prevent damage to long power cords.
"The tools and hardware industry makes $164 billion annually," says Scott Cooper, CEO and Creative Director of World Patent Marketing. "The market is well-positioned to experience even more robust growth during the next five years."
"The home is naturally filled with various appliances that provide convenience and comfort," says Jerry Shapiro, Director of Manufacturing and World Patent Marketing Inventions. "Although they're highly useful, these appliances tend to all have power cords strewn all over the house. The Cord Cone is a household invention that helps retrieve these cords in safe manner."
Cord Cone is a household invention that will prevent people from damaging their power cords when they try to disconnect their appliances. When people have many appliances something that is becoming more and more common in today's modern society, sometimes there are many power and extension cords strewn all over the house. Whenever one of these appliances needs to be put away, the cord must be disconnected, but it could be plugged into an outlet halfway across the house. Just tugging on the cord can easily cause it to get stuck on things and damage either the cord or sometimes other objects. The Cord Cone is placed at each end of one of these long cords, which then allows it to be pulled without getting stuck since most objects that come into contact with the Cord Cone will just slide off of it due to its shape. This will allow people to quickly and easily retrieve their long cords without worrying about them being damaged.
"Cord Cone was developed to make the sometimes frustrating task of retrieving an extension cord easier," says inventor Arlen B. "By tapering the cord end, it helps the extension cord glide around and through obstacles that may otherwise cause hang ups. The Cord Cone can also save on replacing cord ends by eliminating the hard pull that the user puts on the cord during hang ups that can result in damaged cord ends. With ease of installment, Cord Cone is very user friendly. Cord Cone is a must for construction business as there are many extension cords and obstacles on site."
Cord Cone is a household invention that is used to prevent power cords from getting stuck on other objects and getting damaged while they're being retrieved.
World Patent Marketing is always looking for new invention ideas. The company provides invention services and is one of the only patent companies that engineers and manufactures its own products. The company is broken into six operating divisions:

I am a wife, mother, and professional musician. My "day job" is teaching flute at a university. My "evening job" is hurrying out the door to rehearsals and concerts. My hobby is food. My passion is my children. My sounding board is my husband, who encourages me and keeps me humble!
What I am not:
I am not a doctor or scientist. If you want to learn more about the paleo diet, there are MUCH better places to find this information. I HIGHLY recommend reading Robb Wolf's book "The Paleo Solution" if you'd like to learn more about why the paleo diet works, and why you should seriously consider making this lifestyle change for yourself and your family. I am personally enthusiastic about paleo because it has worked so well for me.
I am not a photographer. The photos you see are all taken with my simple point-and-click camera. Food doesn't always photograph well without the right equipment and lighting, so I'll do my best!
I am not a full-time blogger. Between my work and my family, I certainly have plenty to keep me busy! But this blog is partially in response to the urging of several friends who have seen my facebook food pictures and given me enthusiastic feedback. So I'll update this as I have time.
So… Why "Kokopaleo"? What in the world does that mean?
My husband has a way with puns. Call it a gift. One day he came home from work, and I told him, "Honey, I have an assignment for you." He groaned. "I'm thinking of starting a blog, and I need a clever name that somehow combines who I am as a musician with the word Paleo." Twenty seconds later (no, this is not an exaggeration) he responded, "You're a flutist, right? So how about 'Kokopaleo'?" My husband is a genius. The legendary Native American figure Kokopelli is near and dear to the hearts of flutists because he, himself, was a flutist. In those twenty seconds, my huband combined the mythical musician's name with the word paleo. And so, a blog was born.
If you're new to the term "paleo" in reference to diet, I'll give you the short version: eat like a caveman. If you can kill it or grow it, it's fair game. It's primarily vegetables, meat, and fruit. It also includes most nuts and seeds and all the yummy herbs and spices you can get your hands on! The paleo philosophy embraces the health of our ancestors, thousands of years ago (before the agricultural revolution) who did not experience the same modern-day health issues that we have now. So the diet does not include grains, sugar, dairy, anything artificial, or anything processed.
My journey to the paleo diet was a slow one, and I'll spare you all the details. I started by reading The Maker's Diet in 2004, after my mom bought it for me as an anniversary present. The book changed my life. I had been struggling with ulcerative colitis for years, and the diet dramatically changed my symptoms and my health. Fast forward a few years – now a mother of two – we decided to try a gluten free diet for our 2 year old to see if it made any difference for his very active personality. Unfortunately, gluten-free does not always equal healthy. After searching to find books and recipes that were both gluten free and sugar free, I happened upon several books and websites on the paleo diet. Everything I read "hit home" and after making the changes for myself and my family, there were noticeable differences in our health. I'm proud to say that I personally lost 32 pounds in about 5 months (only the last 2 were totally paleo, and that's when the majority of the weight loss happened) and my ulcerative colitis symptoms continued to improve. I'm still a "work in progress" but it is a fantastic journey.
No diet works for me unless I can actually get excited about what I am about to eat. There was a time when I thought it would be pure torture to eliminate grains and dairy from my diet. However, I've eaten better food on the paleo diet than I've ever eaten in my life! And I don't count anything – no measuring portions or keeping a tally of daily calories. These things depress me. I just eat good food.
Of course, this is only part of the equation. I've also been exercising regularly. It's the first time I've ever stuck with a workout program, and I have so much more energy because of it.
A few words about my cooking style:
I believe strongly in the ideal of only eating the most natural food possible: organic produce, grass-fed beef, cage-free organic chicken, etc. However, in practicality, when dragging two kids through several grocery stores on a working mom's schedule and a middle-class budget… sometimes the reality of life is that you take what you can get. Still, "I can't find organic produce near me," is not an excuse to sit on the couch and down a bag of chocolate chip cookies. It's still better to eat "real" food – meat and produce – even if you can't find organic.
I hate measuring. Many of my recipes will have approximations written. Do your best and experiment!
Frequently, when looking for cooking inspiration, I will see a recipe in one of my cookbooks and think, "That looks GREAT! But I would change this… and this… and add a little of that…" Feel free to do the same with the recipes I've posted here. To me, a recipe is a guideline. Use some creativity and try to make it your own! Or, if you're not feeling so brave, stick with the text and I hope you enjoy what I've written.
That's all for now. I may add more to this as time goes by. Thanks for reading!

DETROIT — He was the tough guy ticking off suppliers as head of General Motors' global purchasing operations in the decade leading up to the crash. Then he was the tough guy breaking eggs as president of Russia's bloated Soviet-era AvtoVAZ auto company.
Now Bo Andersson has been dispatched by the president of Japan's giant family-owned wiring supplier, Yazaki Corp., to fix the business where it needs it most — North America and Europe.
And not surprisingly, he's fully prepared to step on toes again to get it done.
"I've known Shinji Yazaki for 30 years and respect him a lot," Andersson, 62, said of the company's president. "But he has a huge problem — the company has been underperforming for a long time.
"We're a private company and we don't disclose our numbers," he added, "but it's very clear that we're below average."
Given the twin title of president of Yazaki Europe and North & Central America,Anderson's mission is to make Yazaki more profitable, more efficient and more streamlined.
That will be a handful. His two territories consist of 139,000 employees and 75 factories spread across 18 countries, which deliver $8 billion of Yazaki's $15.6 billion in global sales.
At the same time, Yazaki is under pressure to make its age-old core products — wire harnesses — smaller, lighter and more sophisticated with more connectors to handle more electronic vehicle functions. And Andersson is under pressure to improve their cost and quality.
He took over the European operations last summer and then was given the added responsibility for North America in March. But Andersson already is doing what he is famous for: calling out inefficiencies, dismissing underperforming managers and looking for plants to get rid of.
In his first eight weeks on the job, he has challenged his North American team to do what he already did in Europe: free up 40 percent of all plant space. He has asked engineers to find new ways to automate whatever they can within the extremely labor-intensive art of assembling wire harnesses. He has created a new logistics command post in Nashville to figure out more efficient ways to move materials and finished products around North and Central America, and to find new business opportunities. And he has cast a cold eye on the sprawling operations he inherited in Mexico — 44 factories that were built over the years by four companies, some of which still have different cultures and manufacturing processes.
Andersson's plan is to standardize everything under his watch, from Texas to Tunisia, with the same production processes, the same launch practices and the same quality standards.
"First we look at the managers to see if they are good people leaders," Andersson, a former officer with Swedish special forces, said of his plans during a recent visit to Automotive News here. "If you have a plant with 5,000 people and you don't like people, you're the wrong man in the wrong job. So we're changing some of the management."
His target? Andersson says Yazaki's North American operations are too far off world-class standards when it comes to zero-defect production, and the company's track record on product launches needs serious attention.
He began closing plants in Europe during his first nine months on the job. How many might he close in North America, he was asked after his first two months?
"In Europe I had nine months," he said. "I could do more damage ,but I've only had two months [in North America]."
Long pause
Long pause
Shinji Yazaki thought twice about hiring him.
The two men have known each other since the late 1980s, when Andersson was a young purchasing executive at Saab Automobile in Sweden. Yazaki supplied a sophisticated and expensive instrument cluster, and Andersson has been a fan ever since.
Andersson wasn't seeking a job last year, but happened to be in Japan on business. The Yazaki executive invited him to discuss the leadership role in Europe.
"I asked him, 'Are you sure?' And he said he wasn't," Andersson recalled.
"So I said, 'You should go think about it some more. Because hiring someone like me, you get a lot of stuff you like, but you also get some stuff you don't like."
Many would agree.
Andersson has not shied away from making enemies in his career. On taking control of AvtoVAZ, a complex Russian bureaucracy that is owned partly by Renault and partly by a consortium of powerful Russian interests, the executive did the unthinkable — he laid off 26,000 of the struggling automaker's 70,000 employees. He fired managers, infuriated labor bosses, cut salaries, changed longstanding suppliers, changed work rules and even tangled with Vladimir Putin. Despite his efforts to modernize, Andersson ultimately was blamed for the company's mounting losses and dismissed in 2016.
The story has been widely reported in the U.S. and Russia, where a newspaper referred to him as "the foreigner with no friends." But Andersson himself will say nothing of his AvtoVAZ chapter today. When asked whether he will provide details of his dealings there, he simply says, "No."
He also left a scorched path behind him when he departed GM's purchasing offices in 2007. Andersson was tasked with trying to bolster GM's collapsing world financial picture during that decade by demanding price cuts from the automaker's parts suppliers. Since parts purchasing accounts for an enormous amount of any automaker's annual spend, GM counted on Andersson to reduce parts spending by $2 billion a year.
John Henke, a supplier industry consultant who has been measuring automakers' relationships with their supply chains since the 1990s, maintains that Andersson was personally to blame for the poor relations that GM had with parts and technology suppliers during that time. Henke believes that the resulting supplier animosity actually hurt GM financially during that period, as disgruntled parts companies avoided sharing new innovations with the company.
"I'm sure I made mistakes in purchasing," Andersson acknowledged. "But I tried to be fair and make sure we had the right performance."
Now he is on the other side of the line. Yazaki is a key supplier to both GM and to AvtoVAZ.
"I'm in the third period of my life," he said. "I was an officer, and then I was an OEM, and now I'm a supplier. And I like being a supplier."
But he says Yazaki simply has no time to waste in improving its operations. He is making sure every plant under his scope is operating in line with the Toyota Production System — a widespread business model that seeks out wasteful practices, eliminates inefficiencies and operates with minimal inventories.
He pursued the same strategy in Russia. He retained the services Hajime Ohba, the North American Toyota executive who spent a large part of his career teaching auto companies how to operate under the Toyota system. Andersson brought Ohba to Moscow two days a month to train Russian managers.
Andersson can get prickly when it comes to wasteful factory behavior.
He recently met with an executive of a European automaker customer to chide him on what the automaker was asking Yazaki to do.
"You've asked us to do a wire harness that is 8 meters long," Andersson recounted of the exchange. "You asked us to check 10 different things on this harness, and then to fold it eight times and put it in a box that's like a pizza box. I'm not going to run your business or tell you how to package your cars. But I can tell you that I take a photo of each wiring harness before I fold it and put it in the box. So if you have a problem in the plant, I will bring the photo to you.
"He didn't really like that comment," Andersson admits.
His forte
He makes it clear he is going to leave customer relations to other people, focusing instead on Yazaki's factories.
Like the military officer he once was, he intends to improve the system by drilling and practicing Yazaki's employees and managers, as well as its supply chain. Prior to a launch, the plants will begin building "dummy" harnesses — practice products that will be destroyed afterwards, but they will give the plants and their supply chains expertise in the work before a customer is scheduled to receive anything.
It could cost $50,000 a day per plant. He is OK with that.
"This is what has fascinated me most in automotive as a former officer — that it's all about discipline. If you start slow, high volume won't be an issue. But if you order your equipment late, if you don't train people, if you don't hire them, then the start of production is a disaster. You can easily throw away $20 million."
He has implemented a nightly 6 p.m. phone call with managers to go over each day's manufacturing statistics. How much rework had to be done? How much premium freight costs were incurred because of supply chain hiccups?
Some of those managers have a cloudy future.
"I like results," he explained. "And I like being a supplier."Nguồn: www.autonews.com

Beloved by Toni Morrison: An Analysis
Author: Toni Morrison
Genre: Historical Fiction
The major conflict in this story occurs when Sethe escapes from slavery.
She kills her daughter "Beloved," because she wants to keep her from being
taken back to the South by her old master. A mysterious figure then keeps
showing up at Seth's home. This mysterious figure is her oldest daughter. She
comes back to haunt her mother and her household because she is angry over
what has happened to her. Another conflict in the story is how Sethe is trying
to be a stable mother for her four children under the system of slavery, which
defines her and her children as property.
The resolution to the problems are when Sethe comes to terms with past.
She defeats her antagonist. At a point in the story, she is relieved that "Beloved"
finally stops haunting her. Her community also reaches out to help her.
The setting of "Beloved" takes place in Cincinnati, Ohio. The book also
flashbacks to Sweet Home plantation in Kentucky and the prison in Alfred,
Georgia. The time happened in 1873 after the Civil war with frequent flashbacks
to the early 1850s. Most of the action takes place in 124 Bluestone Rd., the
address of a gray and white house outside Cincinnati, Ohio.
The protagonist of the story is Sethe. She suffers from the many crimes
that is inflicted upon her as well as the crimes she has put on her own self. She
kills her oldest daugher and wants to kill her other children because she would
rather be with them "on the other side" than allow them to go through the same
things she has went through.
The antagonist of the story is Sethe's antagonist which is the system of
slavery, which causes her pain. She does not really know how to care for her
children, but she is determined to do her her best and to make sure that slavery
doesn't get the best of her children like it did to her. She actually tries to kill all
her four children but only succeeds in killing her oldest daughter.
The main theme of "Beloved" is confronting the past in order to heal the
wounds it has caused. The main characters are all haunted by the traumatism
of racism and slavery. Throughout the novel, the characters work hard to avoid
the past because it it filled with pain and horror for them. Sethe, in particular
shows the tendency to repress the past, but she cannot enjoy the future, until
she faces the past.
Another theme present in "Beloved" is slavery's destruction of identity.
Slavery continues to haunt those characters who are former slaves even in
freedom. A character in the story named Paul D, is so distant from himself
that at one point in the story he cannot tell whethter the screaming he hears
is his own or someone's else. Slaves were told that they were subhuman.
Paul D. is very insecure about wheter or not he could possibly be a real "man,"
and he frequently wonders about his value as a person. Sethe was also treated
as subhuman. She once walken in on a schoolteacher giving his students a
lesson on her "animal characteristics."
Literary Elements
The key mood of Beloved is tragic, but the novel also includes hope and
Motifs are "the supernatural" and the "allusions to Christianity."
Symbols are "the color red", "trees" and "the tin tobacco box."
Foreshadowing- the narrator makes indirect or complete allusions to
events that are picked up and developed further at later point in the
This novel is very effective. It can show a reader that letting go of the
past has a lot
to do with the future ahead. Sethe may have been probably
looked upon as crazy, but there is always the notion that she did what she did
for her kids. She did not think about her self, for if she did think about herself
she would not have ended up...
