The Trump administration on Thursday proposed the largest expansion of offshore oil and gas drilling in U.S. history, releasing a plan to allow new drilling off the coasts of Northern, Central and Southern California, along with most of the East Coast and Florida.
"Today we're embarking on a new path for energy dominance in America, particularly in offshore," U.S. Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke said during a conference call with reporters.
The five-year plan would offer 47 areas off America's coastline to be leased by oil and gas companies from 2019 to 2024, totaling up to 90 percent of the nation's offshore areas where oil drilling could be legally allowed. Of those, seven areas offered for new drilling would be in the Pacific Ocean — two off Northern California, two off Central California, two off Southern California and one off Washington and Oregon.
No specifics
The draft proposal did not include specific maps Thursday morning showing exactly which areas would be offered for drilling. It would, however, mark the first time since 1984 when President Ronald Reagan's Interior Secretary, James Watt, sought to drill off Big Sur, the San Mateo Coast and the Sonoma Coast, that any new offshore drilling leases would be offered for sale in California.
California is the nation's third-largest oil producing state, behind Texas and North Dakota. Most of its oil is produced from inland wells, but there are 32 offshore platforms and artificial islands where oil is produced, all located in Southern California off the Santa Barbara, Ventura, Los Angeles and Orange county coasts. They date back to the 1950s, and no new ones have been constructed in more than 30 years because of opposition from political leaders, conservation groups, and the tourism and fishing industries.
By mid-day Thursday, California Gov. Jerry Brown, Oregon Gov. Kate Brown, and Washington Gov. Jay Inslee issued a statement promising to fight the Trump administration's plan.
"They've chosen to forget the utter devastation of past offshore oil spills to wildlife and to the fishing, recreation and tourism industries in our states," the governors, all Democrats, said. "They've chosen to ignore the science that tells us our climate is changing and we must reduce our dependence on fossil fuels. But we won't forget history or ignore science.
"For more than 30 years, our shared coastline has been protected from further federal drilling and we'll do whatever it takes to stop this reckless, short-sighted action."
California Sen. Dianne Feinstein echoed those remarks:
"The Trump administration's reckless 'drill, baby, drill' approach threatens our oceans and coasts while doing nothing to increase our energy independence," Feinstein said, citing the 1969 Santa Barbara oil spill, in which more than 3 million gallons of black crude from a Union Oil platform coated beaches for miles. "California neither needs nor wants risky new offshore oil rigs, and I'll do all I can to oppose this plan."
April order
In his announcement, Zinke said he was following an executive order from President Trump last April.
"It is better to produce energy here and never to be held hostage by foreign entities to our energy needs," Zinke said, slamming the Obama administration for not allowing new drilling on the Pacific or Atlantic coasts. "Our country is blessed with vast assets and resources, and this is part of looking at it in a broader view."
Last week, the Trump administration announced it would loosen rules put in place by the Obama administration after the 2010 Deepwater Horizon spill in the Gulf of Mexico. Those rules, which industry groups opposed, required more frequent safety inspections of oil rig equipment, particularly blow-out preventers, a large type of valve which failed in that spill.
Industry groups on Thursday praised the latest proposal to open the Pacific to more drilling.
"Our members produce energy in the most environmentally safe and sound way under the most stringent regulatory environment in the world," said Catherine Reheis-Boyd, president of the Western States Petroleum Association. "This announcement could help California increase our domestic energy production."
Drilling hurdles
There are a number of significant hurdles to new drilling.
First, under federal law, no drilling can occur in national marine sanctuaries, such as Monterey Bay, the Channel Islands or the Greater Farrallones. The Trump administration is currently reviewing whether to shrink the size of some of those sanctuaries, however, particularly larger boundaries that the Obama administration put in place in 2016 along the Sonoma and Mendocino county coast to expand the Greater Farrallones sanctuary.
Second, all new oil and gas drilling is banned in state waters under a law signed by former California Gov. Pete Wilson from the beach out to three miles offshore. The Trump proposal would allow new drilling in federal waters from three miles to 200 miles offshore.
Third, at least 18 California coastal cities and nine of California's 15 coastal counties — Santa Cruz, San Mateo, Monterey, San Luis Obispo, San Francisco, Sonoma, San Diego, Humboldt and Mendocino — have local laws dating back to the late 1980s that ban the construction of onshore oil terminals, pipeline and other oil industry equipment without a vote of the public.
Shock and awe
Dan Haifley, a Santa Cruz resident who led efforts in the 1980s to pass many of those ordinances, said Thursday he thinks the Trump administration is proposing such a massive expansion of new drilling so that in the end, it will appear reasonable if it cuts some areas out. The draft plan will be published in the Federal Register next Tuesday, with a 60-day public comment period to follow.
"The administration is using the shock-and-awe approach," said Haifley, executive director of O'Neill Sea Odyssey, an organization that teaches children about the ocean. "Shock at the plan's size, and awe at the huge task ahead in fighting it. It won't work. Instead, it will unite Americans to fight for their ocean."
The plan calls for Northern California and Central Coast waters to be opened for new leasing in 2021 and Southern California by 2020. If the Democrats win back either chamber of Congress in 2018 or 2020, they could kill those efforts by refusing to fund the Interior Department's leasing programs, as they did in the 1980s when former U.S. Rep. Leon Panetta of Monterey blocked all funds for the Reagan administration to pursue new drilling off California. In the meantime, the California Coastal Commission, Attorney General Xavier Becerra and other state leaders are very likely to file lawsuits in an attempt to block new drilling.
Environmental groups vowed a vigorous battle.
"You could not see a more radical, anti-environmental extreme in an offshore leasing program," said veteran coastal activist Richard Charter of Bodega Bay, a senior fellow with the Ocean Foundation.
"This is a nothing-is-sacred approach to offshore drilling. They are going after everything at once," he said. "We are going to fight this at every step. In the courts, in the Legislature, in the streets if we have to."

10 Digital Trends to Watch in 2016
The industry is moving so rapidly that yesterday's big story becomes tomorrow's footnote, and each technological advancement is seemingly leapfrogged instantly. Yet this very nature of change in the industry is the reason that advertisers need to stop and take stock of what is coming next. Consumers are exploring new ways of communicating and gathering information all the time, and marketers want to be a part of that experience, in an engaging and natural manner whenever possible. Here are some of the digital trends that marketers need to be paying attention to (and dancing with) in 2016 and beyond.

See first paragraph of Thanksgiving post. Ditto Christmas.
The end.
Was that a snort of derision I heard from you? Lazy excuse, you say?
Fine, I will try to make my brain start thinking and writing. Maybe some biscotti will give it the sugar it needs to start whirring again? Here we go.
Many years ago a trip to the bookstore led me to purchase Bread for All Seasons by Beth Hensperger. It was on clearance, the pictures were so pretty and suddenly there was this feeling that I should be baking bread. Some years later I decided that the perfect gift for my dad (and the rest of my family) would be jam. I read up on how to can, jelly and preserve and decided maybe not. Bread would be the perfect gift. Turning to my only bread-baking cookbook I finally noticed the Accompaniments section hiding out in the last pages (apparently I completely ignore the end of books). Ah-ha, marmalade was really the perfect gift. It doesn't require wrinkling up little spoonfuls on frozen plates, or sealing, or storing for months before eating.
About now, you're probably wondering how this relates to leftovers. Well, Christmas leftovers are often of a different sort – they result more from gift-giving then from food-eating. My shelves are currently stocked with chocolate, cookies, caramel apples and fruit spreads. The marmalade made a second appearance this year and while most went to my dad a little half jar stayed with me.
Other than switching the word order in the title there weren't any changes made to the recipe. The cans of pineapple come in an 8 ½ ounce or 8 ¾ ounce instead of just 8 and I do put the whole can in. I'm not sure if I should measure the apricots before or after being chopped so I tend to do both and then throw in another slice.
Apricot-Piña Marmalade
1 8-oz can crushed pineapple in heavy syrup
6 ozs dried apricot halves, chopped
1/4 frozen unsweetened orange juice concentrate, undiluted
zest of 1 orange
1/4 c honey
Drain pineapple syrup into a small saucepan. Set aside pineapple. Add apricots and juice concentrate. Bring to boil. Remove from heat and let stand 20 minutes. Add pineapple, zest and honey to apricot mixture. Bring to a simmer over medium heat. Stirring occasionally, cook about 10-15 minutes, until thickened. Spoon into clean containers. Cool to room temperature, the marmalade will thicken more. Cover and refrigerate.
Supposedly this will last up to 2 months in the refrigerator, but I'm a little hesitant to try it out and with jams and such I'm never sure if the authors are giving the time frames that proper canning would allow.
This makes about 1 1/2 cups. About 1 1/2 to 2 jelly jars.

Mitchell, Bill (2008) Characterizing Communication Channel Deadlocks in Sequence Diagrams. IEEE Transactions on Software Engineering, 34 (3), 305-320.
UML sequence diagrams (SDs) are a mainstay of requirements specifications for communication protocols. Mauw and Reniers' algebraic (MRA) semantics formally specifies a behaviour for these SDs that guarantees deadlock free processes. Practitioners commonly use communication semantics that differ from MRA, which may result in deadlocks. For example FIFO, token ring, etc. We define a process algebra that is an extension of the MRA semantics for regular sequence diagrams. Our algebra can describe several commonly used communication semantics. Regular SDs are constructed from concurrent message flows via iteration, branching, and sequential composition. Their behaviour is defined in terms of a set of partial orders on the events in the SD. Such partial orders are known as causal orders. We define partial order theoretic properties of a causal order that are particular kinds of race condition. We prove any of the common communication semantics we list either guarantees deadlock free SDs or can result in a deadlock if and only if a causal order of an SD contains one of these types of race condition. This describes a complete classification of deadlocks as specific types of race condition.

If you think about it, the evolution of theatre and the evolution of movies, although separated by centuries of development, have followed similar paths. Can we predict the possible future of film by the evolution of live theatre? Acting styles change, but the stage itself – the area where the actors perform – has been fairly consistent: a raised stage with a "proscenium" framing the performance.
What does that have to do with the possible evolution of motion pictures? The proscenium stage, with few exceptions, is the basic format for live performances. The development of the camera created another medium for performance, the "Moving Picture". Motion pictures are essentially theatrical performances on a larger stage, with the camera playing the role of a live audience and the screen being the proscenium that frames the action. In both live and film performances, you view the action from essentially the same perspective.
In the 1940s, a new form of staging was developed, called "Theatre in the Round". The stage was no longer at one end of the theatre with the audience watching from the other end; now the stage was in the center and the audience surrounded the stage and actors. This made performances more intimate and lifelike. It was like being in a stadium or arena — thus the term "Arena theater".
So what has that to do with the movies of the future? Future movies could not be just "3D moving pictures" like today; but actual three dimensional hologram projections; as if we were viewing a real event with people with real shape, perspective and depth. The word hologram comes from the Greek : holos (meaning "whole") and gramma (meaning "message".) No need for special glasses either; we would just "be there"– adding a whole new meaning to the term "Cinéma Vérité".

Seamless Pipe
Seamless pipe's can be defined as a pipe without a seam or a weld-join which is different to a welded or a seam pipe. Not only is a seamless pipe different to a welded or a seam pipe but is also different to a stainless steel pipes, these pipes are manufactured by rolling metal and then welding it longitudinally across its length, whereas seamless pipes are made by extruding metal to a desired length and does not have a welded joint in its cross-section. Seamless Pipes & Tubes can be produced from 7 inches to 14 inches in higher dia and technology used includes "plug mill" or "CPE" technology.

Cambridge, UK: Granta Design, the leaders in materials information technology, announced new software and data for composite materials at this week's JEC Composites Show in Paris. The updated GRANTA MI composite data management solution reduces risk in the engineering process and maximizes returns from composite knowledge. New tools in the CES Selector software help composite users to choose the right materials and support composite producers in developing and marketing their product lines.
The new GRANTA MI:Composites Package brings together the tools for best-practice composite data management in research, testing, QA, and design. The data needed to characterize composites can be captured, automatically linked to related data, and easily tracked, accessed, and applied. Alongside in-house data, users can access composite reference data from the respected AGATE, NCAMP, and CMH-17 projects. The results are: substantial time savings for materials engineers, who no longer need to hunt for data or repeat tests; more effective use of corporate knowledge; and less risk through the use of accurate, up-to-date data in design.
The CES Selector software offers a new Hybrid Synthesizer tool, which predicts the properties of sandwich panels, foams, lattices, and composites. Clear graphical property maps make it easy to compare these materials with other options. So designers can investigate the benefits of hybrid structures, focusing development of lightweight products on the most productive routes. Materials producers can compare their current or potential materials with the wider materials market. This guides materials development and helps technical marketing teams to communicate the benefits of their products.
This full range of software for composites will be demonstrated at a series of web seminars during April – see details.
"The JEC Composites Show is always a great opportunity to meet with some of our many friends in the composite community," said Dr. Patrick Coulter, chief operating officer at Granta Design. "We're pleased that, as in previous years, we are able to demonstrate enhancements to our support for both composite users and producers, developed in collaboration with our composite-focused customers."
Composite materials are important across sectors including aerospace, wind power, automotive, marine, construction, and sports equipment. Through novel material combinations and structures, composites can provide enhanced materials performance – for example, combining strength with low weight. But engineers must navigate a complicated range of materials options in order to find suitable composites. And, because performance is very dependent on factors such as processing and component geometry, these materials require rigorous testing and validation. This creates a need to capture and analyze large amounts of specialist inter-related data. Granta software helps engineers to manage this data and use it in making more effective decisions relating to composites.

Valles Canyon - Sierra de las Uvas
I haven't been here in several years, but this used to be one of my favorite places to visit. It was a definite destination for out of towners as well. The reason: it was a short easy walk to a couple of fantastic petroglyph sites. The old way ( as described in Greg Magee's Hiking Guide to Dona Ana County) to get in here was to take the Barksdale Road from NM 185 just north of Border Patrol checkpoint. The first pitch down into Broad Canyon ( about 10 miles in)was always pretty terrifying: steep,narrow,rough and with a substantial drop-off should you go over the edge, I remember steeling my nerves for every descent and ascent. At a subsequent crossing of Broad Canyon we had to find a place to park,then slip under a barbed wire fence( my mom loved that) and walk downstream to the confluence with Valles Canyon. I remember being so amazed and delighted when we started seeing the petroglyphs and grinding holes here. I could hardly believe we could just come out here and wander around on our lonesome at an archaeological site. Back in the east where I come from, it seems that anything of any interest has got a fence around it , three guides breathing down your neck, and 500 other people paying for the privilege of seeing whatever it might be. We walked up Valles Canyon a short ways and it only got better. The rock art here was much more accomplished( and most likely much older ).
Day Hikes and Nature Walks in the Las Cruces- El Paso Area)of getting here is from the west. The hike starts at a large clearing off the (paved) Corralitos Road know as Valles Tank where there is a corral and ample room to park. Some of the cows out here look a little wild and ornery,so keep your head up. There is one spot where it may be necessary to climb down a small dry waterfall( I'm glad I took my parents the old way). There is also fence across the stream bed.Look for a gate on the south side instead of crawling under Even though this is a longer hike, it should be the one you use if you visit. I think it is the preferred route now because of private property issues involved using the old way.NOTE: forgive the image quality. These were all taken many years ago with an Advantix film camera. On subsequent visit I have been either without camera or just not taking photos for reasons I can't quite explain.

The Coulée verte René-Dumont or Promenade plantée (French for tree-lined walkway) or the Coulée verte (French for green course) is a 4.7 km (2.9 mi) elevated linear park built on top of obsolete railway infrastructure in the 12th arrondissement of Paris, France. It was inaugurated in 1993.
The Promenade plantée is an extensive green belt that follows the old Vincennes railway line. Beginning just east of the Opéra Bastille with the elevated Viaduc des Arts, it follows a 4.7 km (2.9 mi) path eastward that ends at a spiral staircase leading to the boulevard Périphérique beltway. At its west end near the Bastille, the parkway rises 10 m above the surrounding area and forms the Viaduc des Arts, over a line of shops featuring high quality and expensive arts and crafts. The shops are located in the arches of the former elevated railway viaduct, with the parkway being supported atop the viaduct. This portion of the parkway runs parallel to the avenue Daumesnil. The parkway intersects the Jardin de Reuilly near the rue Montgallet and descends to street level. At that point, it becomes a grassy mall and then follows the old railway direction below street level towards the east, passing through several tunnels. As it reaches the rue du Sahel, it splits, with one portion continuing to the beltway, and the other terminating in the square Charles-Péguy along the former path of a branch line that once linked to the Petite Ceinture railway.[1]
The elevated part of the route, on the viaduct, has some enclosed sections, as when it passes between modern buildings, and some open sections with expansive views. In addition to the Jardin de Reuilly and the square Charles-Péguy, the Promenade Plantée also includes the Jardin de la gare de Reuilly, with its preserved but unused railway station, and the square Hector-Malot. Other abandoned railways have been converted into parks and parkways, but the Promenade Plantée was the first green space constructed on an elevated viaduct.[1]
The western portion of the parkway may be accessed via stairways and elevators leading up to the elevated viaduct. This portion is reserved for pedestrians. The eastern portion of the parkway is accessible via ramps and stairways and is open to both pedestrians and cyclists. The west end can be reached from Bastille by walking 300 m south on Rue de Lyon, then left on Avenue Daumesnil. The staircase entrance is immediately on the left where Avenue Daumesnil enters rue de Lyon.[1]
The Promenade Plantée is built on the former tracks of the Vincennes railway line, which beginning in 1859 linked the Bastille station to Verneuil-l'Étang, passing through Vincennes. It ceased operation on December 14, 1969; part of the line beyond Vincennes was integrated into Line A of the RER, while the Paris-Vincennes section was completely abandoned.[1]
Beginning in the 1980s, the area was renovated. In 1984, the Bastille station was demolished to make way for the Opéra Bastille. The Reuilly area was designed in 1986; it incorporates the old commercial rail depot of Reuilly into a group of park areas. The Promenade Plantée was put into place at the same time in order to reuse the rest of the abandoned line between the Bastille and the old Montempoivre gate to the city. Landscape architect Jacques Vergely and architect Philippe Mathieux designed the parkway, which was inaugurated in 1993. The arcades of the Viaduc des Arts were renovated in 1989 by architect Patrick Berger,[2] as was the new square Charles-Péguy.[1]
Paris' 4.7 kilometres (2.9 mi) parkway was the only elevated park in the world for some years, until[failed verification] the first phase of the High Line, a similar park on an old railway-viaduct in the West Side of Manhattan New York City, was completed in 2009.[3] The second phase was completed in 2011, bringing the total length of the High Line to 1 mile;[4] the third phase opened in September 2014, completing the park.[5] Chicago has recently opened the nearly 3-mile Bloomingdale Trail, which will run through several city neighborhoods and allow bicycles.[6]
In popular culture[edit]
The Promenade Plantée appears in the film Before Sunset, directed by Richard Linklater in 2004 with Ethan Hawke and Julie Delpy.[7] It is also mentioned in the science fiction novel Olympos, by Dan Simmons.

Come to Heavenly Care and we will help you understand Self and family-managed Care. Self or family-managed care enables you or your family member to personally administer, recruit, retain, coordinate and supervise non-professional staff under contractual agreement with the regional health authority – this in support of community living and autonomy. Alternatively, Heavenly Care can be hired to develop a Program of Care with the Self/Family Manager that is suited to the individual and to perform all aspects of staff management.
Self Managed Care or Family Managed Care enables individuals or their families with assessed Home Care needs to accept full responsibility for their personal care as Self Managers or Family Managers. Individuals or Families who choose this option rather than receiving services through the regular Home Care Program are responsible for coordinating, managing, and directing the non-professional services they or their family member need to continue living at home and in the community.
To be eligible for SFMC, individuals must:
• be a Manitoba resident
• registered with Manitoba Health
• require assistance with the activities of daily living
• require service to remain safely in their homes
• require more assistance than is available from existing supports and community resources.
How Do I Apply For SFMC?
• To apply for the SFMC Program you or your family member need to be a client of the Southern Regional Health Authority (SRHA) Home Care Program and be eligible to receive Home Care attendant/homemaker services. If you or your family member is already receiving services from the Home Care Program, contact Heavenly Care who will guide you through the discussions with the Home Care Case Coordinator to determine whether SFMC is an appropriate resource for you or your family member.
• If you or your family member is not a client of Home Care and would like to determine eligibility for Home Care services including SFMC; please contact the local Case Coordinator for an assessment. Heavenly Care will guide you through the Home Care process, free of charge.
Like Family
Sometimes, the needs of the individual exceed what is available through Home Care. Heavenly Care is there to offer 24-hour solutions that will meet all your needs through its personalized Program of Care. Heavenly Care promises to provide compassionate and respectful care to its clients in full confidentiality. Heavenly Care's goal is to provide continuity of service in a totally transparent environment where communication is encouraged to ensure the highest quality of care.

Australia name Mickey Arthur as their first foreign coach
The next two Ashes series are likely to be that bit spicier after Australia appointed Mickey Arthur as their coach yesterday.
The move completes an exhaustive backroom transformation in the wake of the home defeat by England last winter.
Arthur will take charge for the Test series against New Zealand starting on Thursday next week and will soon join the new selection panel led by John Inverarity to determine whether Ricky Ponting, Mitchell Johnson and Brad Haddin remain part of the team.
Australia also face India over the winter, but the longer-term target is sure to be the back-to-back confrontation with England, cramming ten Tests — five in each country — into a period of roughly seven months from mid-2013 until the following January.

MESA, Az. - A whole heap of pain is being felt by a former NFL tight end.
On Friday, Todd Heap took the biggest hit in his life after accidentally running over his daughter while moving a truck on his property in Mesa, Arizona.
The three-year-old died after being taken to a local hospital.
An outpouring of support flooded social media. Texans star DE J.J. Watt tweeted out: "Absolutely gutted for Todd Heap and his family. thoughts are with them in this incredibly tough time."
Heap played a decade for the Baltimore who issued this statement on the tragedy:
"We cannot imagine the heartbreak and sorrow Todd and Ashley's family feels right now. This is knee-buckling news and an overwhelmingly sad tragedy. Our prayers, our thoughts and our hearts are with the Heaps, who have contributed so much to the Ravens and Baltimore community. We believe their deep faith and tremendous support from friends and family will help them through this unimaginable time."
His last two season in the NFL were with the Arizona Cardinals who had this to say:
"Our hearts go out to Todd, Ashley and the Heap family. It is a grief that is beyond words and one which no family should ever experience. Hopefully the prayers, love and support of their incredible group of friends and family provide them comfort that along with their strong faith will lead them through this unspeakably difficult time."

Case Study: A Baker's Dream
"When we came into the picture, this house was still in the framing stage. This was just a wooden structure. It was a larger project that included a kitchen, three bathrooms and a kitchenette in the basement. We loved helping her choose not only her cabinets, but also her countertops, paint and trim colours and a functional hood fan.
We were able to incorporate a beautiful custom design and more functionality for day-to-day use and her business. "
Designer: Jazmyn Strydom
Species: Kitchen: Maple, Bathrooms and basement kitchen: Oak
Door Style: PP333
Finish: Truffle
Premiums: N/A
On top of starting from the ground up on this one, there were a few different challenges with this project. The first was making the main kitchen a working kitchen for her baking business. She preferred less vertical storage space so we wanted to keep that in mind when it came to the design. We also had to work two ovens into the design of this slightly smaller space, making it look great while ensuring we adhered to building codes. We wanted to make her wish list a reality!
We wanted to create a practical and useful design plan so our client could use this for her baking business now and into the future. We chose cupboards along the bottom, as well as columns on the island, that were flat and streamlined so there would be less nooks and crannies making them easier to clean. We included separate bins for her flour and sugar storage and tall drawers with partitions to organize all of her baking pans. We built a bulkhead and used less height storage in the kitchen, incorporating more drawers into the design. In the bathrooms, we did the same and even built the ensuite fully custom in comfort height. Since she loved to sit down to look at her recipes,
we were able to work in a desk area for her to sit down at to read her cookbooks.
Working in the hood fan with the two ovens was a bit more challenging, but we were able to keep them close together, which is what she wanted, making them both accessible and adhering to the building code. The kitchenette in the basement was important to the owner since it would provide another space for her to clean her dishes and pans and it would be closer to where she ground her flour. These all ended up being great solutions that the homeowners were really happy with. We really enjoyed working side by side with these homeowners to make this the kitchen of their dreams!

Legacies & Landmarks: Eastchester, Tuckahoe and Bronxville at 350
Exhibition of Fascinating Residents and Landmark Buildings
In the fall of 2014, the OSilas Gallery will host an Exhibition celebrating a visual anthology of Eastchester Residents whose legacies epitomize the tenants of the Eastchester Covenant that were subscribed to by the earliest settlers in 1665. Their stories will be told in the context of the town's institutions and significant events throughout history, such as the work of the marble quarries, the development of the Harlem Railroad, the founding of Lawrence Hospital and living through World War I, the flu epidemic and World War II. Additionally, photographs, both vintage and modern, will document the impact and influence of the marble industry on Eastchester, Tuckahoe and Bronxville.
The national historic site also features a remnant of a village green that was the site of the disputed colonial election of 1733 that raised the important issues of freedom of religion and freedom of the press. John Peter Zenger described the corrupt elements of this election in his broadsides published in New York City.
Originally built as an Episcopal Church about 1700, St. Paul's Church served the founding families of Eastchester, as evidenced by tombstones dating back to 1704.
The church was re-built as a larger edifice, begun in 1765 and completed after the Revolutionary War. During that conflict, the British used the church primarily as a hospital; there are nearly 100 Hessian soldiers buried in the historic churchyard cemetery. This same graveyard also serves as the final resting place of Civil War veterans from the town.
In 1943, responding to a campaign by Rector William Henry Weigle and lobbied by Sarah Delano Roosevelt, mother of then President Franklin D. Roosevelt, Congress designated St. Paul's as the National Shrine of the Bill of Rights. One of the Delano ancestors had been an early vestryman.
In 1980, the church was taken over by the National Park Service and operates now as a museum and research center of early American life. St. Paul's Church is located on South Columbus Avenue in current day Mt. Vernon, which was once a village within the town.

One of the reasons I love working with small businesses is that it gives me the chance to really see how much of a difference we can make. This particular story is about a client who didn't have a large budget when we started, but is now able to expand on her old campaign with the new breathing room we've given her. This case study proves that concentrated local strategies can make a big difference even on a lean budget.
Who We Helped
In early 2016, Loganix was approached by a young female entrepreneur looking for a way to grow her wedding & event planning business in a certain large North American city. Due to local competition and the age of the site, traffic arrived by way of social channels and word-of-mouth. There was only a small amount of search traffic coming from branded keyword searches.
Her goal was to increase local search traffic to her site for all types of event-related keywords, including weddings, corporate parties and proposals. By setting her up to work closely with one of our account managers, we were able to determine exactly where she wanted us to focus our attention.
During consultation, we were able to create a plan for the year that took into account her modest budget and where our work would create the largest impact on her business. By tracking the types of events happening throughout the year, we were able to create a search strategy that targeted the evergreen and seasonal keywords immediately before the biggest season for booking these services.
What We Did
After speaking with our account managers about the different options, she decided on our Loganix Premium product—A complete local-oriented SEO solution for small business owners.
Our team started with an SEO audit covering all on & off page factors for organic and local SEO.
We made an effort to understand her core products and seasonal offerings. This allowed us to research the highest value keywords to rank for within 3, 6, 9 and 12 months from the campaign start date. These terms would provide the most value in the short term, and allow her to rank for summer terms in May/June and fall terms in August/September, etc.
After laying out our keyword targeting gameplan, we made some important adjustments to her site. By rewriting some existing website copy, creating additional content and pages for newly identified terms, and optimizing the site for speed across desktop & mobile browsers, we were able to dramatically improve the user experience. We had very little analytics data when we started, so our team installed various tools for tracking site visitors and conversions to help us guide decisions moving forward.
We optimized the Google My Business profile for her single location, including a small citation cleanup campaign, followed by a build campaign. We put together a strategy to get reviews on various profiles/review sites from her existing base of satisfied clients. We also utilized these ratings/reviews on the website and on other marketing materials.
Once all on-page tasks were taken care of, we set out to create a customized link-building campaign using high-quality editorial links from local and niche-specific publications and national news outlets. This helped to not only generate high-value links but also bolster the value of her brand by association with these outlets.
During the process she was able to monitor the results from our proprietary tracking dashboard. Here, she could find data that included traffic, ranking changes, conversions, backlinks placed and more. Access to our project management dashboard allowed her to see an overview of everything our team was working on week-to-week.
We got a lot done in the last year. Here are the results by the numbers:
- A sustained 300+% increase in monthly organic traffic (year-over-year from campaign start)
- A whopping 2300+% increase in leads (a mix of online form submissions and phone calls for initial consultations on events, all driven from organic search)

Muhtar Kent is among the CEOs who signed a pledge to oppose HIV-related restrictions on entry, stay and residence, calling such laws and policies discriminatory and bad for business. The pledge is an initiative of UNAIDS in partnership with GBCHealth, a coalition of companies committed to addressing global health challenges. Kent has co-chaired GBCHealth since 2009.
The pledge was announced this week during the International AIDS Conference in Washington, D.C. The United States lifted travel restrictions against people living with HIV in 2010.
Most HIV-related travel restrictions were imposed by governments in the early days of the epidemic, when ignorance and fear surrounded the transmission of HIV and treatment did not exist. According to UNAIDS, some countries deny travel for short-term stays, such as business trips or conferences. Others deny longer-term stays or residence, such as work-related moves, migration, study abroad programs and diplomatic and consular postings.
"There is no evidence that these restrictions protect public health," said Michel Sidibé, Executive Director, UNAIDS. "They are discriminatory and violate international human rights standards. People living with HIV should have equal access to opportunity and freedom of movement in today's globalized world."
Michael Schreiber, Managing Director of GBCHealth, added, "These outdated laws and policies make no sense in today's globalized world, where work-related travel is routine for corporations. Companies need to send their employees overseas, regardless of their HIV status."
Many countries have lifted their travel restrictions, including most recently, Namibia, Ukraine, Armenia, Fiji and the Republic of Moldova.
CEOs from these companies have joined the pledge: Access Bank Plc, Aetna, Anglo American plc, BD, BET Networks, Bristol-Myers Squibb Company, The
The campaign hopes to secure 100 CEO signatures by World AIDS Day 2012 on Dec. 1.

When you least expect it.
In researching my 'Tatterhood by the Sea' family musical I came across this children's book: 'Dare the Wind' by Tracey Fern, pictures by Emily Arnold McCully. So I open to the first page and see Marblehead Harbor! The gal to the right is sitting on a rock by the Lighthouse on the Neck. Across the way is a jut of land where Fort Sewall stands. Along the coastline around that peninsula, by sea maybe a half mile or so, is the cove of Salem Harbor and my childhood home. I just kayaked that route last summer to witness the building of the new home replacing our old one.
Ellen Prentiss (That's her on the rock.) was an expert navigator who learned her trade from her Papa, who captained a merchant ship. I'm learning more about her from the book Flying Cloud by David Shaw.

So, we have now been in country almost 7 months now, and in site 4+. We spent all summer preparing a community diagnostic, figuring out what is going on in our town and meeting people. We spent many days compartiring (sharing, chatting) with the community members. Everyday was spent sweating, and all of July we worked in the first DREAM Project camp in our site.
The DREAM Project is starting to work in our site. They had their first camp in our community with 55 kids from the public school, where we are working. For four weeks, the kiddos came from 8:00 to noon to focus on math and reading. We had nine Dominican teachers, three in each class, and then for an hour each day six kids would work with each teachers. Pretty great teacher-student ratio, eh? The kids also had Deportes para la Vida everyday, which is a sports program with related health topics built into the classes.
Our role in the camp? Help out where needed. We spent our days planning lessons and activities to share with the teachers, dealing with behaviors, or working one on one with students who needed an extra boost. It was a great way for the students and parents to get used to seeing us everyday, and start building confianza (trust) with us.
The highlights? We took the kiddos on a couple of field trips. The first one was to the airport. The airport on the north coast is within walking distance from our community (hint, hint). Many of the students had never been to the airport before, although many people in our community work there. It is a more prestigious job, though. Two favorite parts of the day: seeing the kids go on an escalator for the first time and while eating our snack outside, having one of our students ride up on a horse. When we asked him where the horse came from and were explaining to him that this wasn't a great idea (although trying to hold back laughter) his response was that he asked the owner for permission first. Makes sense in an 11 year-olds mind I guess.
The second trip we took was to the mountain in Puerto Plata. We took the kids to the teleférico (cable car). Many of them (nor the teachers) had never been up the mountain. We spent a morning walking through the trails and looking at the views.
Justin and María Elena, the camp directors from the states with all of the kiddos.
Some of the kiddos on top of the mountain.
A group of girls showing their community map that they created; a diagnostic activity Keegan and I did with the students to learn more about their views about the community(ies), and what is important to them.
Movie Club with Ivan Herrera (well-known from Anthony Bourdain's No Reservations DR episode).
Once camp wrapped up, Keegan and I went to the capital for a week for our 3-month (3-months in our site) training. We shared our diagnostic information with all of the other education volunteers, and heard about their sites. Everyone brought along a project partner, or key member of their community, to help share the information. We learned more specifics and did some planning for the school year. It was definitely quite interesting with the meshing of cultures. The best part? The talent show. Skits ranged from one Dominican giving a speech about education while imitating Dominican presidents with volunteers clapping behind him, a duo singing a song from a musical, to a skit on a Dominican tale, with having a female volunteer not finishing the skit because she thought it was sexist, to cross-dressing and dembow to Amara la Negra (google it).
It was a relief to get back to site and really start working, since the school year started the following Monday. Or did it? More to come…
Les extrañamos,
P.S. If you have questions or topics you would like to hear more about, like our weekend routine of snorkeling (have you ever seen squid??), let us know! =]

Maintaining your new wheels
Powder coating is very durable and you will be amazed at the ease of cleaning them, no more Sunday mornings wasted scrubbing them!
There is a wide selection of specialist wheel cleaners on the market all designed to give one desired affect; help you clean your new rims. Most of these specialist cleaners are not required and we do not recommend the use of them. This is because most cleaners are nothing more than a mild acid which will attack the surface of your wheels.
Remember always allow your wheels to cool thoroughly before cleaning them.
The best way to clean your wheels is to use mild soapy warm water and a non abrasive cloth/brush. Rinse your wheels well and dry off using a lint free cloth. Do not allow the water to dry on the wheels as this may cause water spots.
Never use abrasive cleaners, wire wool pads or electric buffers. Avoid carwash wheel cleaners at all times on refurbished wheels.
Give your wheels a coat of our specially formulated wheel wax once every 6 weeks, this will help to prevent road salt, brake dust and dirt 'keying' to the surface and make cleaning the wheels far easier.
So that`s it, very simple, not lots of products complicated applications just a great finish, a specially formulated wax coating and a gentle clean for wonderful wheels week in week out.
