Battery Range
Cargo Space
The electric vehicle segment is rapidly expanding, and buyers are faced with more choices than ever before. However, if you're perusing around the Phoenix-area for a new EV, you're likely to find that few models can stack up to the 2018 Nissan LEAF in Peoria.
Fully redesigned for the new model year, the LEAF showcases the latest advancements made in Nissan design and technology, including a retuned e-powertrain and several cutting-edge driver assistance features. Continue reading below to learn more about the LEAF's offerings!
For the new model year, the LEAF takes on a sleek and sporty persona, trading in last year's cute, round curves for sharper body lines and more defined edges. As you'll notice from the various photos in our 2018 Nissan LEAF review, the EV is outfitted with new bumpers, a 3D mesh-pattern grille, projection-beam headlights, boomerang taillights and a floating roof.
Accompanying this fierce new style is what Nissan refers to as a "cool tech attitude." Packed full of the latest features--including automatic climate control, Bluetooth connectivity, a 7-inch color touchscreen, NissanConnect, navigation, e-Pedal, and Apple CarPlay/Android Auto--the LEAF makes a compelling choice for tech-savvy drivers looking to stay comfortable and connected on the go.
When you test drive the 2018 LEAF for sale on Bell Road, you'll be impressed by the advancements in both power and overall performance. Equipped with the latest version of Nissan's e-powertrain, the LEAF now achieves 147 horsepower, a 38-percent increase over last year. Torque output has also gone up 26 percent, peaking at 236 lb-ft.
Those who opt for the 2018 LEAF will not only enjoy a boost in power, but also a much higher range than the previous model. In fact, drivers can now expect to get an estimated 150 miles on a full charge.
If you're looking for the latest safety features, the LEAF won't disappoint. Automatic emergency braking is now standard on every model, and buyers can choose to add lane keep assist, blind spot warning, pedestrian detection and intelligent cruise control.
2018 LEAF reviews also note the availability of a new driver assistance system: ProPILOT Assist. This feature expands on the vehicle's self-driving capabilities, allowing the vehicle to take over acceleration, deceleration and braking in select driving conditions. Come by our dealership when the 2018 LEAF goes on sale to try it out!

Driving home today listening the Home Run on CBC, I was happy to hear the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts is going to be the permanent owner of the Chihuly Sun, thanks to a generous donation by Montreal philanthropist, Van Berkom. I was one of the 270,000 visitors to the exhibition last year on a day I played hookey with my daughter. As she is a budding artist I wanted to expose her to seeing beautiful things, and Chihuly's glass sculptures fit the bill perfectly. I was thrilled as well, that photographing the art was not only allowed, but encouraged. I realized, while doing it, that this was genius marketing – both by the artist and the museum as it gave visitors the chance to not only experience the gorgeous opulence of Chihuly's work, but gave them something to share with their friends and across their social networks, spreading both the fame of the artist and perhaps contributing to the record-breaking attendance levels the museum experienced.
I've worked for artists before, and photographed events and magazine features in the National Art Gallery of Canada, and I've always had restrictions on what I could and could not include in my shot, even if the subjects (people) were simply in the museum and the art was a colourful backdrop. I understand there are copyright issues, but at the same time, as an artist, wouldn't you want your work to be seen as widely as possible, especially if, as in these cases, the works have already been purchased and are hanging on museum walls?
Chihuly, aside from making stunning works of art, completely understands that while not everyone can afford to take home a $6,000 bowl (on the extreme low-end of his offerings), everyone can still take something away from the exhibit with the photos. And these photos not only allow viewers to have a deeper, more intimate connection to his work, but will also serve as ambassadors for his fame and enhance the cachet for those lucky few who can afford to own his works. Everybody wins.
Here are a few of the shots from that day I spent in the sun, with my little girl. Feel free to share;)

Almost every wedding that takes place at French's Point is a family affair for our clients. Often times parents and other family and friends participate in the wedding planning at various points in the process. Many hands make light work, right? With such a momentous occasion to look forward to, it is very common for family to offer their assistance as wedding plans are being made. We find that many mothers of the bride and mothers of the groom, in particular, really want to help. However, they don't know exactly what they can do to help the happy couple with their plans, without overstepping the bounds of "helpful." In this How Can I Help blog series, we will offer some ideas about how you can help your son or daughter and their partner with the planning. In our last post in this series, we offered ways you can assist with the Venue Search. This time, we will discuss how you can provide support relative to the rehearsal dinner.
Rehearsal Dinner and/or Welcome Reception?
Here are a few options to consider for wedding-related events that usually take place the day before a wedding:
- Ceremony Rehearsal – Typically takes an hour for the wedding couple, the wedding party and officiant to walk through the ceremony planned for the following day. It is important to keep the wedding rehearsal limited to the people involved in the ceremony to ensure questions are addressed and you can make it to the rehearsal dinner on time.
- Rehearsal Dinner – Can be open to just the wedding party and family participating in the wedding ceremony for an intimate affair or can be open to the whole guest list. This event typically takes place around dinner-time the night before the wedding.
- Welcome Reception – Typically open to the entire guest list. Allows an open arrival time over the course of 2 – 3 hours. These events often have a bar available and hors d'oeuvres or bite-sized sweet treats and take place sometime between 6 – 10 p.m. Make sure you understand the Maine laws around serving alcohol.
Questions to Ask Before Planning the Pre-Wedding Festivities
Before you begin making plans, we suggest you have a candid conversation with the future married couple and ask them about their vision of the wedding rehearsal dinner and/or welcome reception. Because traditionally the parents of the bride are the major contributors to the wedding day, it has historically been the case that the parents of the groom contribute toward the expense of the events around the rehearsal dinner. But these traditions have changed and are different for each family and circumstance. So, identifying who wishes and is able to contribute toward the cost of these events and who wishes to be in charge of planning the event is an important place to begin before planning this event.
Here are the questions you need to ask:
- What will it look like?
- Who will plan it?
- Who will pay for it?
- What is the budget?
Once these questions of have been answered, you can now begin the planning process.
Possible Pre-Wedding Day Timeline
We have had a number of clients opt to have the ceremony rehearsal at 5 p.m., and then host an intimate Rehearsal Dinner lobster bake, BBQ, or wood fired pizza party from 6 – 8 p.m. followed by a welcome cocktail reception for the entire guest list from 8 – 10 p.m. where desserts are served. I think this is my favorite combination of experiences. It gives the family and wedding party some quality time together to celebrate before they additional guests are welcomed to the weekend wedding festivities.
You can opt to host these events here at French's Point, or you can host them at one of the alternative event locations in the area. Regardless of where you have the rehearsal dinner or welcome reception, you will want to talk about the plans with the happy couple to make sure the event is customized in a way that reflects who they are and the tone they want to set for the wedding weekend.

You are here: Home > novelty gifts > drink accessories > Inflatable Swan Can Holder
When you're relaxing in the pool on a summer's day, the only drawback to an otherwise blissful scenario is the lack of places to put your drink, meaning that it warms up in your hand and prevents you from properly relaxing. That problem is behind you, due to the graceful arrival on the scene of the swan drink holder. This inflatable drink holder comes flat packed and with a little puncture patch and you simply blow into a valve on the back to inflate.
The swan can then float on the surface of water, making it perfect for pool parties or just for joining you in the bath. The section in the centre is where you can stow away your cup or can of drink and the added benefit to this, apart from having your hands free for splashing or reading a book, is that the water underneath should keep it cool. You can even chuck a few ice cubes into the bottom of the holder to help keep things chilled.
Whether you're lucky enough to have a pool at home or are swanning off on your holidays to more tropical climates, this inflatable pool toy is a must-have summer accessory.
Not as big as expected but is functional and works.

We finish our cycling at Baileyana Winery, located in a restored historic schoolhouse, and enjoy a complimentary wine tasting along with a gourmet picnic lunch. While there are some short hills on the San Luis Obispo wine country bike tour, there are also plenty of scenic wineries along the way to tempt you with a quick tasting break, making this tour the perfect choice for cyclists who want to maximize wine tasting opportunities along the bike route.

by Outdoor Writers Association of California. See the article.
Comparison to Other Bike Tours
The Biking: Paso Robles Wineries Half Day bike tour is our easiest wine country bike tour, but visits fewer wineries along the regular route compared to our Biking: San Luis Obispo Wineries Half Day bike tour.
The Biking: San Luis Obispo Wineries Full Day tour explores the same general area as the San Luis Obispo Wineries Half Day tour, but explores additonal wine country areas in the southern part of the Edna Valley and has numerous options to ride even more miles into beautiful ranch and canyon country.
Half Day Bike Tours in the Afternoon
Our half day bike tours typically start with a ride in the morning and end with a picnic lunch mid day. If this timing does not work for you, we can also start with a picnic lunch mid day and ride in the afternoon. If you'd like your half day bike tours to be like this, be sure to ask when you make the reservation by phone or put a note in the comments field of the online reservation system. There is no difference in cost for doing a half day bike tour this way.

text: 27 July 2017 Authors: Lawrence S. Elbaum Paul R. Tobias Shareholder Activism Share on: Disrupting the Disrupters: Shareholder Activism @ Tech Companies – Part II In Part I, we described the current shareholder activism environment and the significant and consistent focus of shareholder activists on tech companies of all sizes. We also described how your company's structural defenses, including your organizational documents and shelf "poison pill," can be optimized to address an activist situation. In Part II, we now describe three advance preparation steps that we believe are essential for tech companies in the current activist environment:#3: Stock SurveillanceEven if a company has a fully operational poison pill on the shelf, its effectiveness as a defense measure is severely impaired without proper stock surveillance.Most activists quietly amass a significant stake under the radar, called a "beachhead." Most regulatory reporting regimes contain enough loopholes to enable a dawn raid of an activist. Most notably, in the U.S., an activist has ten days after crossing the 5% threshold before filing of a Schedule 13D with the SEC. Shrewd activists use this ten-day window to buy as many shares as possible. For example, recently a company woke up to an initial Schedule 13D filing with a new 25% activist shareholder—and the company had never even heard of the activist before the filing was made.In an era of shareholder activism, it is therefore important to watch the trading in a company's stock. Most do not use a stock watch firm or they use a service that is not paying close enough attention. In fact, most stock watch firms only monitor basic trading metrics which will do very little to help a company identify an activist lying in wait. Stock watch is more art than science. Only a handful of stock surveillance firms have their ear to the ground, read the tea leaves when reviewing a company's DTC transfer sheets and can give a company a heads-up in a case of rapid and furtive stock accumulation by an activist.#4: Prepare for Meetings with Activists"I don't need anyone to babysit me. If I can't handle a one-one-one with a shareholder, I have no business being the CEO of this company," the CEO of a billion dollar market cap company told us when explaining why he did not need to hire activism advisors. Six months later, he was "retired."Many executives are eager to meet activists face to face—and they underestimate their adversary. The first meeting with an activist often comes as a shock: many activists are testing executives by intentionally pushing their buttons. And most activists are quite adept at this since they do this all the time (some are even trained by former CIA or FBI interrogators). Most executives are successful entrepreneurs or businessmen who are used to people admiring and courting them. They are not used to open criticism, let alone an aggressive confrontation. The result is often disastrous. Some executives become first defensive, then aggressive and then say things they later regret—which is exactly what the activist was looking for. The activist will use these sound bites against the company in the "court of public opinion" during a live campaign.So how do you prevent this from happening? Preparation, preparation, preparation. We firmly believe that the proper groundwork for a meeting with an activist is like deposition prep in litigation. It is critical to take clients through a simulated meeting with an aggressive activist and equip them with responses to the most likely tough questions and statements.The problem is that in at least half of the situations we become involved in, the company has already been talking to the activist for weeks or even months—without prior preparation. Investor relations officers often times do not even recognize investors as activists. Of course everyone knows Carl Icahn, Pershing Square and Starboard, but there are over 200 other activists operating in the U.S. alone and many investor relations officer do not know them. We have seen companies set up meetings even with the likes of ValueAct, Elliott and Raging Capital without knowing they are well-known activists. Uninformed investor relations officers also allow activist investors to ask questions on earnings calls, facilitating a public take-down of management in front of all the company's major investors and analysts. The same happens at industry conferences: often the conference organizers are arranging for one-on-one meetings between activists and unwary companies—often with unfortunate consequences.The take-away is that your company's investor relations officer should run every inbound inquiry from new investors by activism specialists in order to identify activists in a timely manner and schedule a prep session before speaking with an activist by phone or in person.#5: Develop "Break the Glass" Response PlanActivist attacks rarely come out of the blue, but either way it is important to have a "break the glass in an emergency" response plan.Every company should retain a response team that includes an investment banker, special proxy fight counsel, regular outside counsel, PR firm and proxy solicitor—and designated personnel at the company. This response team should prepare a detailed response plan and standby press release for the most likely contingencies (e.g., plain or aggressive Schedule 13D filing, nasty public letter, or an unsolicited takeover bid).The team should get together on a call once a quarter to update the company on any threats or trends and to review the company's shelf poison pill, bylaws and corporate governance practices to make sure they are state-of-the-art from proxy fight perspective. Moreover, companies should take their board of directors through a "shareholder activism boot camp," including a mock proxy contest. In our experience, companies with a response plan in place are, in fact, less likely to ever have to "break the glass"—these companies are one step ahead of the activists, making an attack much less likely.ConclusionWe hear from many tech companies that they are reluctant to invest time and effort into shareholder activism preparation. This never ceases to amaze us. In an era of shareholder activism, chances of an activist attack on your company are high, and increasing. If your company was not the target of an activism campaign in 2016 or the first half of 2017, chances are higher you will confront one in the next year or so. It borders on malpractice not to prepare for this contingency. After all, everyone is buying homeowner's insurance even though likelihood of a fire is low. So why would you not insure your company against shareholder activism when the odds of being confronted by an aggressive activist are so much higher?

Mabinogis' persistent pets/mounts!
I still remember him..a brown, plain horsd named Poopy. It was during our first MMO, Ultima Online, that I discovered my love for little digital mounts. Poopy lasted for most of my time in Ultima, and I remember that if I died he would would often fight for me, and I would worry that he might get killed.
And one day he did.
I really felt a loss for the little guy. He was a stronger character to me than most of the NPC's and even some of the people I had met in game. He had personality, and he was realistic. If you dismounted, he was still there. He would fight for you, and even die, permanently! I aquired Poopy II shortly afterward, but I always remembered my first real mount.
In Ryzom, I have always had the same mount. He is a strange looking beast, a Mektoub with the hands of a semi-human and the long nose of an elephant. I have always called him Yardnose. Funny thing about Ryzom is not only does your mount stay around and breathing in the world while you are away, but they stay at that point forever. As long as they don't move or get killed, they will stand there breathing. I might skip logging into Ryzom for months, and my mount would have stayed in the last spot I left him, passersby looking at him and wondering who he belonged to. Heck, he's there right now...breathing. Those pixles, that little bit of server code or memory on a hard disk somewhere has existed for several years.
And that brings me to my current favorite F2P game, Mabinogi. I was delighted to find that my horse mount (the fastest type in the game) not only will fight for me, but will die, be rezzed, heal and carry items. I got to name him (named Osheba after my old german shephard) and I can even play AS him! He gains skills, grows old, and can even be re-born! He's always there..I can tell him to "stop" at a certain spot, and he will be there until I return.
The only real drawback is that he will de-spawn after roughly an hour and a half (different pets stay out for different lengths of time) and will need to be put away to recharge his time. Luckily, the amount of time is enough to get real use out of the mount/pet! I can ride him all over, use him to help me fight and when I finally need to "stable" him, it doesn't feel like he is disappearing after every dismount.
I love to grow my character over time. I love to build him/her up slowly, adding to his/her layers as time goes on. In fact, most of my dislike of fast leveling stems from the lack of realistic growth. I want my character to build up some scars, to get knocked back a few times...to struggle. And I feel the same about my pets. I want them to grow with me, to become a true companion, a character in the chapters of my MMO.
I own roughly 10 or so pets now, and besides my horse I have a two-seater Ostrich (for picking up needy passengers, a great way to meet new people), a sled dog named Medicina (because he carries medicine just like the Alaskan dog race dogs represent) that actually pulls a sled when in snow, two small dogs that pick up any items that I might drop or forget to grab when mining or in a dungeon, several silly fun pets and my favorite combat Teddy Bear (I am not kidding) named Rooseph. She's a monster...can take down anything I come across.
You can even program a pretty deep AI for your pets, or use a basic set of rules like "aggressive" or "collaborative attack mode." All in all, the pets in Mabinogi have always reminded me how fun the cash shop is.
But the main reason I like them is that they are always there..I can call one out and they stay with me until they die, just like in Ultima days. They are always at my side, which is important for a soloer. Also, in real life I think of my companion animals as real companions, as constant friends that are willing to go on any adventure with me. One of the reasons I admire the sled dogs of the Iditarod so much is that they not only save their owners life, but are a force of hope for the owner, something to trust and something constant.
It's hard to feel that a pet/mount is constant if you cannot even name it, or if it disappears when you get off it. That's how it happens in most MMOs.

I'm not one to rant and rave (well, maybe once in a while), but I opened a letter today that infuriated me.The letter was from one of the hotels we stayed at on our recent get-away. The contents included: "…upon your departure our housekeeping staff reported two pillows missing from the hotel room. As the registered guest of this room, you are liable for the replacement fee."
I immediately called the person who sent the letter and (believe it or not) calmly informed her we were not pillow-pinchers. She curtly explained that each bed has four pillows and upon check-out the bed only had two. I suggested the bed had to have been double rather than quadrupled pillowed upon our arrival and that maybe in the future they should provide a list of amenities on an inventory sheet for guest reference. That way if something was missing the guest could notify the front desk. This woman didn't respond to my scenario or recommendation, but reluctantly agreed to reverse the charge. Based on her tone of voice, she still thought my husband and I were thieves.
The more I thought about it, the angrier I got. Even though the charges were reversed, I wasn't satisfied. I did some research on-line and found the CEO of the hotel chain and promptly sent him an e-mail with my concerns and recommendations. Lo and behold, within thirty minutes I received a positive response AND apology.I am aware people do steal from hotel rooms. Who knows, maybe there's a huge pillow pinching ring out there. My question is….what about those of us that are falsely accused? I wonder how much money hotels make on the innocent who just let it go and not refute the charges? I wonder what percentage of remodeling, expansion costs or bonuses are paid through unsubstantiated pillow recovery fees?
Yes, I'm making light of the incident now, but I did learn a lesson that might be considered by all … Make sure to ask housekeeping how many towels, pillows, duvets, etc., are supposed to be in the room before checking out!

You may have noticed more bands these day sitting their drummer on a slap-able box while doing an acoustic performance these days, but you may not know the origins of this interesting and versatile instrument.
In the latest instalment of our Anatomy of an Instrument series, MI Focus outlines everything you need to know about the cajon.
What is a cajon?
A cajon is a percussion instrument originating from Peru. The box-shaped drum is primarily played in Afro-Peruvian music, but can be heard in jazz and folk music as well as more modern rock and funk styles.
The cajon was developed during the periods of slavery in coastal Peru, with the instrument reaching a peak in popularity by 1850. Today, the cajon is heard extensively in Coastal Peruvian musical styles, Spanish modern Flamenco and certain styles of modern Cuban Rumba.
The modern cajon is often used to accompany a solo acoustic guitar or piano and is becoming rapidly popular in blues, pop, rock, funk, world music and jazz. The instrument is also becoming popular as an alternative to a drum kit during acoustic performances by rock/pop bands.
'Cajon' means 'box' or 'drawer' and features a thin layer of plywood on one side, in a similar way to the bottom of a drawer. It has thicker wood on each side and top, and typically features a sound hole in the back panel. A cajon can also come with snares to give it a louder-less wooden sound with a buzz-like effect.
A typical cajon measures around 18-inches tall and 1 sq ft.
How do you play it and what does it sound like?
A cajon player sits on top of the instrument and strikes the front-facing board with the palm of their hands and fingers. Hitting the middle of the board creates a deeper, bass sound, and tapping higher up the front board with your fingers to create higher-toned hits. Typically, these different sounds will be combined to create drum-like patters, with deeper notes acting as the bass drum, and higher notes acting as snare and tom accents.
Players can also use their foot to shift the pitch of the cajon to create more complete arrangements.
While typically struck with the player's hands, the cajon can also be used with plastic and metal brushes. Some drummers also attach a pedal to a cajon and use it as a replacement for their bass drum in a full drum kit setup.
Here are some of our favourite cajon videos:
Should I stock them?
The cajon is small and compact, with models at a wide variety of price points, meaning you could choose to target beginner and hobbyist percussionists with an entry level instrument, or add some of the higher-end cajons to your percussive offering to appeal to sessions musicians and touring bands of various styles. With a large pool of brands making cajons and the increased popularity of usage within modern music, anyone thinking about stocking percussion instruments should add the cajon to the list.

I would taste you up and down,
From the top of you to your base,
Nibble your ticklish places,
Then kiss the smile upon your face.
I would pull you with sweet longing,
To where only you could see,
And place the deepest parts of me,
Warmly within your reach.
You would fold yourself in my safety,
Wrap yourself in my love,
You would feel my passion enclose on you,
And I would fit you like a glove.
I would fill your soul with nourishment,
That only a good woman provides,
You would release all your secrets into me,
And I would hold them safely inside.
You would kiss me and whisper so sweetly,
That from me you will never part,
And gently, eyes down,
I would offer to you
The last piece of my heart.

Watch Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) on the hot seat. http://www.flickr.com/photos/egbertowillies/10294367566/
Monthly Archives: October 2013
"Do you hate Obamacare more than you love your country?" a well-deserved "gotcha moment" for Marsha Blackburn.
Chris Hedges goes there: The Sparks of Rebellion
Chris Hedges starts the discussion of what would happen if the government remains subverted.
Erica Chenoweth and Maria J. Stephan examined 100 years of violent and nonviolent resistance movements in their book "Why Civil Resistance Works." They concluded that nonviolent movements succeed twice as often as violent uprisings. Violent movements work primarily in civil wars or in ending foreign occupations, they found. Nonviolent movements that succeed appeal to those within the power structure, especially the police and civil servants, who are cognizant of the corruption and decadence of the power elite and are willing to abandon them.
Sort of the opposite of the Weather Underground.
The corporate state, meanwhile, is preparing privately for the world it knows is actually coming. It is cementing into place a police state, one that includes the complete evisceration of our most basic civil liberties and the militarization of the internal security apparatus, as well as wholesale surveillance of the citizenry.
Where is the country going? Right now, it's unclear. But the corporate vampires are on the throat of democracy. This may not end in a place we have seen before.
GOP throws shit in America's face
Elephant political party throws shit in America's face
Juan Cole on the Tea Party, its backers, and their successful shutdown of the government of the United States
Make no mistake, this is class warfare, and a naked move towards outright plutocracy. The few hundred superrich do not want a government regulating their pollution, and investigating their white collar crime. They do not need a government to provide schools, roads, bridges, fire protection, libraries and the rest. Juan Cole takes a shot at it, at Informed Comment:
There should be no confusion about who shut down the US government and why. It was shut down by billionaire backers of the so-called Tea Party faction in the Republican Party. They ordered their sockpuppets, like Ted Cruz, to defund the government so as to take a hostage for ransom. They don't want to help pay for affordable health care for most Americans, because having $4.8 billion instead of $5 billion is just too humiliating. We don't even know the names of Cruz's biggest campaign contributors any more because of the corruption in US campaign finance. But Goldman Sachs and Berkshire Hathaway want him there, and we can bet that the Koch Brothers do, too. They should all be boycotted.
We don't have a functioning government this morning because our super-rich are on the whole too stingy to help guarantee all Americans the basic human right of health care. They won't share, even though their tax rates are low in world terms and they couldn't have gotten rich without the infrastructure and legal latticework provided by the US government, and without the skills and labor of American workers.
Did millions of these working Americans not have affordable health care? Let them, Ted Cruz says, go to the emergency room. Except that it is impossible for ERs to handle all those millions, and it is mmuch more expensive to have them treated that way, and pregnant mothers can't get prenatal care at ERs. The number of babies lost and infants who die goes way up when the mothers don't see a physician regularly during pregnancy, and poor women couldn't afford to do that before Obamacare.
In other words, Ted Cruz and his billionaire backers are telling us, "let them eat cake."
The Scrooge Oligarchs want to go back to the age of Robber Barons in the nineteenth century.

1more day to Thanksgiving!
It's the time of year to slow down, reflect & get some much needed down time with the familia over a not-so-lucky Turkey.
But what if, this year you don't have a traditional Thanksgiving dinner in the works? Maybe you aren't able to fly out & see the family. Maybe you're not feeling up to waxing politics with relatives you've only seen twice in the year. Or maybe you're vegetarian/vegan and don't want to answer questions on "but what will you eat?" or "how do you get your protein?". Maybe you don't want your parents or relatives reminding you, you're not getting younger, when is the boyfriend/girlfriend/marriage/kids thing happening? Hey, whatever your reason, I get you. It never hurts to switch things up.
Here are 5 alternative ideas to a Traditional Thanksgiving fest:
If for whatever reason, you can't hang with the family….
What To Do Instead: Friendsgiving dinner
Go on, make new memories with your crew, fellow partner in crime-ers.
Here are a cheat sheet for an awesome Thanksgiving drinking game.
If you're vegetarian or vegan (and can't have Turkey)…
What To Eat Instead: Oh the choices!!
Might we recommend this Roasted Stuffed Poblano with Basil Cashew Crema? Or this Butternut Squash Risotto? Or this Moroccan Lentil Soup? These are just as fancy pants as a Turkey, and ridiculously savory, buttery, delicious & filling. I'm giving thanks for these, alright.
If you're bored of the football game & Thanksgiving Parade on TV…
What To Do Instead: Marathon TV & movie watching session
Flannel jammies. Thick, fuzzy socks. Toasty fireplace. Warm cup of hot chocolate. Blanket. Your couch. Snuggie optional. You get whatimsayin'?? There's no better time of year to to chill & binge watch movies/TV shows. Here are 10 Mindblowing TV shows for a head start.
If you want to avoid Black Friday….
What To Do Instead: Go for a Hike
Here's shopping on Black Friday…. OR this….
Did you know entrance to the National parks is free on Black Friday?? So if you aren't feeling up to walking like a zombie in a mall and mindlessly filling your shopping cart… get outdoors! I'd take a Snowboarding/Skiing trip over Black Friday any day.
If you want to avoid Pies…. (this one I can't relate, okay?!)
What To Do Instead: Pineapple Upside Down Cake & Chocolate cake, anyone?
It is hard to resist Pumpkin pies, Apple pies & Pecan pies.. I will shamelessly crash Thanksgiving dinners just for this! But if you're itching for alternates, might I interest you in some Pineapple Upside Down Cake or Molten Lava Chocolate Cake? Ain't never a bad time of year for these babies. Come to Mama….
If you don't want to stay local
What To Do Instead: Travel!
Flights are super cheap this time of year, even international flight deals are great this time of year. And it's skiing/snowboarding season! So hello, mountains.
If you're tired of social media….
What To Do Instead: Cozy up with a book
With everything that's happened the past few months, you'd be hard pressed to come across some good news in social media. Take a break from the negativity & recharge your batteries with a good book. Here are some recommendations. We just wrapped up reading "The Book Thief", an incredibly poignant & beautiful read.
If you're longing to see a familiar face…
What To Do Instead: Call up & catch up with your old friends
Call you bestie from high school or college. The best thing about these kind of relationships is, even if it's been ages since you've talked, you can pick up right where you left off.
Whatever you end up doing, there's so much to be grateful for! Here's to the gift of life & all the wonderful people in it, who help us find Mojo everyday.
Happy Thanksgiving, gang!

Collaborative Law
In a collaborative case, couples work with a team of specially trained professionals to avoid the arbitrary and uncertain outcomes of litigation and achieve a settlement that best meets the specific needs of both parties and their children.
The process typically includes a variety of meetings at which the parties and professionals meet to discuss the issues, make any needed interim arrangements, and plan for information gathering. These conferences are set to exchange and clarify information and to brainstorm possible options for resolution of conflicts. All team members focus on clarifying each party's needs and interests and developing solutions based on the free exchange of information between parties. Negotiations are based on finding options that best serve the options of the entire family and create the possibility for a positive continuing relationship.
Clients work with the team to carefully tailor the scope of the work to ensure the efficient use of their time and funds. As such, professionals only attend meetings requiring their particular expertise. The specific roles of the professionals on the Collaborative Team are the Family Law Attorney, Divorce Coach, Child Specialist, and Financial Specialist, all of whom maintain a primary focus on the needs of the children and welfare of the family overall while helping parents provide their children with the emotional support and healthy co-parenting they need.
Central tenets of the Collaborative Process include:
- A promise to reach a resolution without court intervention or the threat of court intervention.
- A pledge that if either party seeks court intervention both attorneys must withdraw from representation.
- A promise by all participants to negotiate in good faith by remaining open and flexible, disclosing all pertinent information and using constructive and respectful communication methods.
- An agreement that all communications that occur during, as well as all documents prepared in connection with, the Collaborative Process are inadmissible in any future court proceedings.

Student at the Beuth University of Applied Sciences Berlin
In 2014 I've started to study "Geoinformation" at the Beuth University in Berlin, Germany. In the first two Semester we focused on work with Adobe Illustrator, ArcMap and programming in Java. In my spare time I like to work with JavaScript, CSS and HTML. I will be done with my bachelor studies soon and I am very impressed by the endless Open Source Technologies we have to analyze, present and work with all of those different spatial information available these days. It is very interesting to see what some people do with these opportunities and I am proud to be a part of this environment. Lastly, I would like to share what Lizy Diamond said on her blog: "I will always be a student. In the wide world of geospatial technology, we are all going to be students forever."

HTNG 2016 North American Conference March 1-3
CHICAGO (January 13, 2016) – Hotel Technology Next Generation (HTNG) is set to present an agenda of current issues and emerging technologies to hospitality leaders at the HTNG 2016 North American Conference in Amelia Island, Florida this March. The program includes more than 40 experts who will share their knowledge in sessions that address current hot topics in hospitality technology.
In addition to the sessions listed below, the agenda will feature two notable keynote speakers. Henry Harteveldt's address, "The Three I's Influencing Hotel IT," will demonstrate how three factors driving the future of the hospitality business – immediacy, inspiration and individualism – both arise from improved lodging IT capabilities and will impact IT systems during the next few years. In the second keynote session titled "The Genius of Opposites: How Introverts and Extroverts Achieve Extraordinary Results Together," best-selling author Jennifer Kahnweiler will offer a five-step process that will enable introverts and extroverts to better understand one another to leverage their strengths and create strong teams in the workplace.
"HTNG is excited to have some interesting new speakers and industry experts who will address relevant and important top-of-mind issues at the North American Conference," said Michael Blake, Executive Vice President and CEO of HTNG, a nonprofit association governed by senior IT hospitality executives from around the world. "The program aims to educate and entertain, while also providing a venue for members to share experiences, successes and recommendations with their colleagues."
Experts from both hospitality companies and technology vendors will present the program, comprised of both strategic and technical sessions throughout the conference, including:
In addition to some of these topics, the first day of the conference will also consist of working meetings of HTNG member volunteers who have formed teams to solve hospitality technology problems such as lightweight messaging, scalable cellular service and more. Leaders from the Software Resource Team and the Infrastructure Resource Team will update attendees on current activities and recently published documents, all of which can aid hotels in choosing the appropriate technologies for their properties.
The HTNG North American Conference will be in Amelia Island, FL at the Omni Amelia Island Plantation Resort from March 1-3, 2016. The program and speakers are subject to change. For information or to register, visit our website.

He is the author of both a geography reference book and a guide to winning National Geography Bee contests. Updated July 01, 2018 Accessibility is defined as the ability to reach a place with respect to another place. In this context, accessibility refers to the ease of reaching destinations. People who are in locations that are more accessible will be able to reach activities and destinations faster than those in inaccessible locations. The latter will be unable to reach the same amount of locations in a certain period of time. Accessibility determines equal access and opportunity. The public transport accessibility level (PTAL) in the United Kingdom, for example, is a method of transport planning that determines the access level of geographical locations in regards to public transportation. Mobility and Accessibility Mobility is the ability to move or be moved freely and easily. Mobility can be thought of in terms of being able to move throughout various levels in society or employment, for example. While mobility focuses on moving people and goods to and from various locations, accessibility is an approach or entrance that is either obtainable or attained. Both forms of transportation modes rely on each other in some way, depending on the scenario, but remain separate entities. A great example of improving accessibility, rather than mobility, is in the case of a rural transport scenario where water supply is needed at houses far away from the source. Rather than forcing women to travel long distances to gather water (mobility), bringing services to or closer to them is a more efficient effort (accessibility). Distinguishing between the two is critical in creating a sustainable transportation policy, for instance. This type of policy may include a sustainable transportation system which is also referred to as Green Transport and considers, social, environmental, and climate impacts. Transportation Accessibility and Geography Accessibility in regards to geography is an important element in mobility for people, freight, or information. Mobility is determined by people and affects infrastructure, transport policies, and regional development. Transportation systems that offer better opportunities of accessibility are considered well-developed and efficient and have a cause and effect relationship to various social and economic options. Capacity and arrangement of various transportation options largely determine accessibility, and locations range in terms of equality due to their level of accessibility. The two main components of accessibility in transportation and geography are location and distance. Spatial Analysis: Measuring Location and Distance Spatial analysis is a geographical examination that looks to understand patterns in human behavior and its spatial articulation in mathematical and geometry (known as locational analysis.) Resources in spatial analysis typically surround the development of networks and urban systems, landscapes, and geo-computation, a new field of research to understand spatial data analysis. In measuring transportation, the ultimate goal is typically around access, so that people can freely reach their desired goods, services, and activities. Decisions around transportations typically include tradeoffs with different types of access, and how it is measured affects larger impacts. To measure transportation system data, there are three approaches some policymakers use, including traffic-based measurements, mobility-based ones, and accessibility-based data. These methods range from tracking vehicle trips and traffic speed to traffic time and general travel costs. Sources: 1.

Genetic Resources Centre
IITA's genebank is responsible for a range of crops important for food security in Africa. These include seed crops such as Bambara groundnut, cowpea, maize, soybean, African yam bean and other legume species and clonal crops such as banana, cassava and yam, which require very different methods of conservation.
Crops that produce orthodox seeds are maintained in medium-term storage (5°C and 30–35% relative humidity) or long-term storage (–20°C). Clonal crops are maintained in field genebanks and in vitro.
The IITA genebank collaborates with CGIAR breeders of maize, banana, grain legumes and roots and tubers.
The germplasm health unit is well established. Work is taking place to establish a high-throughput procedure for cleaning yam accessions of pests and diseases.
