Young and the young-at-heart alike bring lawn chairs to sit and bask in the evening warmth while listening to live Jazz by some of the area's top musicians. Prescott also boasts the "World's Oldest Rodeo", held each year at the Prescott fairgrounds. Come enjoy some good ol'-fashioned cow roping and mingle with the western culture that is Prescott, AZ.
The Phippen Museum has also recently expanded its space to accommodate more collections of western art. The Phippen Museum is proud to be Prescott's only art museum. The centrally located Sharlot Hall Museum is just a short walk from downtown Prescott. The Sharlot Hall Museum is a collection of the original houses and lifestyle (including the first Governor's Mansion) pieces. Set among beautiful grounds budding with roses, the site has also recently been popular for weddings! The Heritage Park Zoo is also an enjoyable day for the kids! The zoo is a great place to see local wildlife up close. Photographers should bring their cameras to get the best shots of native species that dominate the southwest like javelina (peccary), or the Pronghorn. Both can be seen running about in the forests and plains of Prescott, Prescott Valley and Chino Valley. In fact, the proliferation of the Prescott area Pronghorn have led efforts by city officials to "share the wealth", or success, with neighboring counties. Shortages due to human habitation have caused some Pronghorn populations to dwindle in southern Arizona. Relocation of several dozen Pronghorn may have a positive impact on other herds. Locals are split in their views as many enjoy the presence of North America's fastest land animal.
Trails abound for the outdoor enthusiasts at the Granite Mountain Wilderness area. Locals can find plenty to do in the hiking arena. Both front and backside trails exist at Granite Mountain. The front entrance is setup with a small lake reflecting the beauty of Granite Mountain; also home to one of the nation's highest cougar populations. Although rarely seen by hikers in the daytime, the mountain lion is one of North America's most formidable and majestic predators. Be sure to watch for them on any Arizona trails. The "backside" trail can be found by traveling up Iron Springs Road a few miles west of the main entrance. Locally designated as "the Little Granite Trail", the backside trail opens hikers up to the vast expanse and full view of Granite Mountain along with the plains west.
Thumb Butte is also a popular Prescott day-hike destination. With both a 1.2 mile strenuous hike up the front, and a 3 mile hike up the "less strenuous" backside, the mountain is a panorama of Prescott's natural beauty. With views in every direction, hiking Thumb Butte can give visitors a great perspective of what Prescott looks like from above. The trails are easily accessible and the front trail is paved all the way up! Thumb Butte is undoubtedly Prescott's icon. The mountain rises up like a tower at the west end of town. The top of the mountain has been closed off in recent years for Peregrine falcon breeding habitat along with sections of the cliff faces on Granite Mountain. Be sure to check the local websites for information before planning your trip.
Prescott, AZ also has many lakes for the day-hiker and/or fisherman. Both Lynx Lake and Goldwater Lake have traditionally been the spots for locals to fish. Both lakes are set in the pristine forests of Prescott. Lynx Lake takes its name from the creek that forms it, Lynx Creek. Rainbow trout, and bass can be caught in both lakes, but the big attraction are the bald eagles that nest and fish in the lakes. Prescott's eagle population has been increasing in recent years due to careful monitoring by the Arizona Game and Fish Department. Bring your cameras, and maybe you'll capture one of the amazing birds in everybody's hometown. Watson Lake has become a recent and popular destination for locals and visitors to Prescott. Watson and Willow lake are sister lakes amid the famous Granite Dells region. It's hard to beat the monolithic red-rock formations reflected on the blue waters.

AUBURN — It's quality, not quantity for Worcester Envelope Co.
The company manufactures about 1 billion fewer envelopes per year than it did 10 years ago. But that doesn't mean the envelope business is dwindling.
"It's just changing," says President Eldon Pond III.
On Wednesday, Worcester Envelope was awarded a Safety and Health Achievement Recognition Program flag by Massachusetts Labor and Workforce Development Secretary Rachel Kaprielian. The company is one of 13 Massachusetts small business employers to receive the SHARP flag for operating an exemplary injury and illness prevention program in the workplace. Worcester Envelope's 150 employees were presented the flag at an afternoon luncheon.
Although envelope production was slowed for this short period, the company turns out an average of between 7 million and 10 million envelopes per day.
"On a perfect day, we could probably make from 12 (million) to 14 million," said Mr. Pond.
In recent years, the company has rescaled its operation to meet the needs of the digital age, even as annual sales have remained steady at $45 million.
"We've reinvested in a lot of state-of-the-art equipment to print in eight colors," said Mr. Pond. "And created a more effective use of labor, better production, better quality, less waste. … Basically we've been forced to become a more efficient organization."
The new equipment also allows for printing on a variety of paper types, enabling the company to expand into package, postcard, form and label printing. The printing presses use Flex 8 technology for a wider variety of color options.
Worcester Envelope's shift from commodity envelope manufacturing to value-added manufacturing turns out about 2 billion envelopes a year.
"We've kind of replaced volume for dollars," said Mr. Pond.
Who demands envelopes nowadays?
Mostly the direct mail industry. While direct mail made up half of Worcester Envelope's clients five years ago, it now makes up 90 percent. The company supports mail for for-profit businesses such as banks, insurance companies and other financial institutions, and for nonprofits like the American Cancer Society.
Half of the company's customer base is concentrated in New England, while the other half is split between the Midwest and mid-Atlantic regions of the U.S.
More than 99 percent of all of the paper product in the facility is recycled. Through an internal waste collection system, pipes from each machine send excess paper to a centralized location where it is baled and shipped back to mills to be reused. Mr. Pond said the company has been recycling this way as long as he can remember. He's been with the company for 27 years, serving as president for 17.
Mr. Pond is a third-generation employee, and his partners, Derek and Scott Waterhouse, are fourth generation. Worcester Envelope has been family owned and operated since its opening in 1893.
Mr. Pond notes many of the company's employees are long term, some having been employed there more than 30 years. Business development manager Jim Dufresne is on his 39th year with the company.
"Yes, people use the Internet," Mr. Dufresne said.
"But once companies get your name online, they mail you something."

As Pope Benedict XVI left the Vatican and his papacy, he slipped out of his trademark red shoes and put on a pair of Mexican leather loafers. The shoes, actually three pairs, two burgundy and one brown, were a gift to the Pope during his trip last year to Mexico.
Armando Martin Dueñas is the Catholic cobbler who made the pope's new favorite footwear. Martin Dueñas hails from the Mexican city of Leon, which has a 400-year history of shoe making. His great grandfather started the family tradition. But they've never received so much attention as they have this week. Tuesday the Vatican's spokesman said the pope would forgo wearing red papal shoes and spend his golden years in Mexican shoes.
The red shoes, by the way, is a tradition that dates back to 1566, when St. Pope Pius V, a White Dominican, decided to change the papal vestment from red to white. The pope's cap, cape and shoes are the only bits of red left from the pre-1566 days.
Since the former pope moves to his new role as Emeritus Pope Benedict XVI, he has to leave the red shoes behind. That's where Martin Dueñas' shoes come in. They are burgundy.
Martin says since the Vatican's announcement, his phone has been ringing off the hook.
When I reached him at his family's factory in Leon, he had just hung up with Fox News and had CNN waiting on the other line. Martin Dueñas said he's filled with great satisfaction that the pope enjoys his shoes so much. He said it's quite the honor.
Martin Dueñas' factory only makes about a thousand pairs a month, hand crafted from the skin of neo-natal lambs. And despite the fame he is enjoying now, a spokesman for the company says there are no plans to speed up production or ever outsource manufacturing from Mexico.
Anyone wanting to purchase a pair of the pontiff-preferred shoes has to call the factory directly. Jose Luis Rocha, Martin's longtime friend and business partner says it's too bad the pope couldn't have made his shoe preference public just two weeks later.
Rocha is building a U.S.-based website for the shoes from San Diego, California. The site is scheduled to go live March 11th. He's scouting retail locations too. The listed price for a pair of the prized shoes is about $200. Rocha says the ones provided to the pope however were priceless.
On television screens around the world yesterday, people watched as Pope Benedict XVI gave up the Chair of St. Peter. As he did that he also gave up his trademark red shoes. And after slipping those off, he put on a pair of handmade Mexican loafers.
NPR's Carrie Kahn has this tale of a happy cobbler.
CARRIE KAHN, BYLINE: When Pope Benedict came to Mexico last year, Armando Martin Duenas, a fourth generation artisan, gave the pontiff three pairs of his custom hand made loafers. To his great surprise a Vatican spokesman announced this week that, in retirement, the new Emeritus Pope Benedict, asked specifically for the Mexican shoes.
ARMANDO MARTIN DUENAS: (Spanish spoken)
KAHN: Martin said we are thrilled, thoroughly satisfied that the pope loves his shoes, which are made from the skins of newborn lambs. Martin's factory only makes a thousand pairs a month. And Jose Luis Rocha, Martin's childhood friend and U.S.-based business partner, says despite all the interest, there are no plans to speed up production.
Unfortunately, the pope's preference came a bit too early for the company. Their U.S. Web site isn't set to launch until March 11th. Retail price for the shoes will list at about $200. However, Rocha says the one's given to the pope, well, those were priceless.

How To Motivate Your Employees To Go The Extra Mile
Christina Davis of The LMC Groups recently hosted a webinar that focused on how to get your staff energized and excited to make a difference in your company.
"Local regulations make it next to impossible to know how much taxis will cost. Travelers and corporate travel managers cannot budget for the full prices in advance," said Jens Wohltorf, CEO and co-founder of Blacklane. "Price certainty reduces the stress of travel. That's why we have shown all-inclusive fares since day one."
Taxi rides from Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR) to Manhattan add more than 50% to the base fare. While fares range from $50 to $70, extras cost over $30. These include a $5 surcharge during peak hours, a $5.50 surcharge to use a credit card, a $12.50 bridge or tunnel toll, and tip.
Travelers book rides an hour to months in advance in premium business-, first- and economy-class vehicles. Passengers receive their drivers' contact information over text and email an hour before pick-up.
About Blacklane (blacklane.com): Blacklane connects passengers with the spare capacities of licensed, regulated, and insured professional drivers and chauffeurs. Corporate and individual customers can book and schedule rides in more than 50 countries worldwide. Blacklane guarantees low and all-inclusive fixed rates at the time of the booking with a unique pricing and dispatching algorithm. The company combines multilingual 24/7 customer care with real-time service control for tens of thousands of vehicles.

GGTI's Adam Parken works at the forefront of a company redefining how business travelers and corporations use networked ground transportation.
JAN/FEB LCT: The reason retention is such an issue is you're not setting accurate expectations up front.

DECATUR, Ala. – The Georgia College (7-9) offense erupted for 23 hits and 14 runs in two games Saturday afternoon at the 2012 Charger Chillout, dropping the Tritons of the University of Missouri-St. Louis (1-2) 9-1 in five innings after a heartbreaking 6-5 extra inning loss to No. 11 Rollins College (7-3).
The Bobcats piled on seven early runs in game two of the doubleheader, scoring five in the first and a pair in the second.
The top of the lineup seemed to be clicking as sophomore Whitney Okvist (Kennesaw, Ga.) went 2-for-4 with a run scored while Mikayla Sparks (Macon, Ga.) and Kelsea Martin (Dacula, Ga.) each added a hit and run, respectively.
With the 'Cats leading 7-1 heading into the bottom of the sixth, Kali Carswell (Acworth, Ga.) would drive in Alex Duvall (Douglasville, Ga.) to secure the 9-1 victory via mercy rule.
Haley Burnett (Columbus, Ga.) was fantastic on the mound once again, allowing one run on three hits in four innings of work.
Kelsey Edmonson (Sandy Springs, Ga.) would finish things out in the circle giving up no runs on no hits for the final two frames.
The GC victory came after a tough 6-5 extra inning loss at the hands of No. 11 Rollins College.
Dani Gallucci (Orlando, Fla.) kept the Bobcats in the game at the plate and in the circle, pitching five innings of relief allowing no earned runs and striking out four. She also went 2-for-3 with a pair of walks and a run scored.
Gallucci was well protected in the lineup as Burnett went 2-for-4 behind her and Martin went 2-for-4 in front of her. The trio accounted for four of GC's five runs.
Unfortunately, Georgia College was unable to capitalize on the international tiebreaker in the eighth inning while the Tars scored the clincher on a bases loaded wild pitch.
Scheduling details for tomorrow's doubleheader are being discussed as inclement weather is on the way.
The Georgia College Department of Athletics, two-time winners of the PBC Commissioner's Cup, sponsors 10 varsity athletic programs at the NCAA Division II level.

Are Floating Plants Good For My Water Garden?
Jean – Emmaus, PA
Yes. To maintain a healthy, well-balanced eco-system for your fish and prevent algae build-up, aim for 40-60% coverage of your pond with pond plants. Floating plants are an important part of the mix. Floating plants such as water hyacinth and water lettuce are chosen most often because they are prolific growers so just a few go a long way. In an 8′ x 10′ pond, 6-10 floating plants are more than enough to get started.
Floating plants protect your fish from the sun, (Yes, fish can get sunburned!) as well as hide them from predators. Floating plants also have extensive root systems to remove excess nutrients from the water. Removing these excessive nutrients will clear the water and help reducer future algae blooms.
While floating plants are a must, there are many other aquatic plants that should be part of the mix. Click over to our Planting Aquatic Plants article to read more about aquatic plant selections and how to plant pond plants.

In addition, IRS does not threaten taxpayers with lawsuits, imprisonment, or other enforcement action. Recognizing these telltale signs of a phishing or tax scam could save you from becoming a victim. See also: How to know it's really the IRS calling or knocking on your door
An aggressive and sophisticated phone scam targeting taxpayers has been making the rounds throughout the country. Callers claim to be employees of the IRS, using fake names and bogus IRS identification badge numbers. They may know a lot about their targets, and they usually alter the caller ID to make it look like the IRS is calling. Victims are told they owe money to the IRS and it must be paid promptly through a pre-loaded debit card or wire transfer. Victims may be threatened with arrest, deportation or suspension of a business or driver's license. In many cases, the caller becomes hostile and insulting. Or, victims may be told they have a refund due to try to trick them into sharing private information. If the phone is not answered, the scammers often leave an "urgent" callback request.

Some con artists have used video relay services (VRS) to try to scam deaf and hard of hearing individuals. Taxpayers are urged not trust calls just because they are made through VRS, as interpreters do not screen calls for validity. For more details see the IRS YouTube video: Tax Scams via Video Relay Service.
Con artists often approach victims with Limited English Proficiency in their native language, threaten them with deportation, police arrest and license revocation, among other things. IRS urges all taxpayers caution before paying unexpected tax bills. Please see: IRS Alerts Taxpayers with Limited English Proficiency of Ongoing Phone Scams. Note that the IRS will never:
When identity theft takes place over the web (email), it is called phishing.
The IRS has issued several alerts about the fraudulent use of the IRS name or logo by scammers trying to gain access to consumers' financial information to steal their identity and assets.
Scam emails are designed to trick taxpayers into thinking these are official communications from the IRS or others in the tax industry, including tax software companies. These phishing schemes may seek information related to refunds, filing status, confirming personal information, ordering transcripts and verifying PIN information.
Be alert to bogus emails that appear to come from your tax professional, requesting information for an IRS form. IRS does not require Life Insurance and Annuity updates from taxpayers or a tax professional. Beware of this new scam.
Variations of these scams can be seen via text messages. The IRS is aware of email phishing scams that include links to bogus web sites intended to mirror the official IRS web site. These emails contain the direction "you are to update your IRS e-file immediately." The emails mention USA.gov and IRSgov (without a dot between "IRS" and "gov"), though not IRS.gov (with a dot). These emails are not from the IRS.
The sites may ask for information used to file false tax returns or they may carry malware, which can infect computers and allow criminals to access your files or track your keystrokes to gain information. Additionally, please be aware that Arvest Bank does not make use of "pop-up" web browser windows on our websites for surveys, free credit reports or promotional offers. If a pop-up window appears when visiting our web site, such as when using Arvest Online Banking, it may be caused by unauthorized "adware" or "spyware" software installed on your computer which monitors your web browsing activity.
The IRS has established a process that will allow businesses and payroll service providers to quickly report any data losses related to the W-2 scam currently making the rounds. See details at Form W2/SSN Data Theft: Information for Businesses and Payroll Service Providers. If notified in time, the IRS can take steps to prevent employees from being victimized by identity thieves filing fraudulent returns in their names. There also is information about how to report receiving the scam email.
To report tax-related illegal activities, refer to this chart explaining the types of activity and the appropriate forms or other methods to use. You should also report instances of IRS-related phishing attempts and fraud to the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration at 800-366-4484.

Look at that cucumber. Look at it closely. I absolutely dare you to tell me that it's not a slow news day.
An Atlanta man named Brett Rosner was chopping up some cucumber, as one does when they want to make a nice salad, or even as a side dish if one marinates it in vinegar and dill for about three hours. (Update: It's from Reddit. Goddamnit, Brett.) Brett had no idea he was about to be visited by a spectral incarnation of a corporate logo.
Michael, Mary, and Joseph, that's an uncanny resemblance. Brett then presumably went on to eat the cucumber, because it's a healthy treat that's enjoyable throughout the year, even if it is generally a warm-weather gourd.
The real Thanksgiving miracle might be this, surely in the running for best tweet ever.

SEATTLE, Oct. 25 (UPI) -- When men and women walk together, men slow to match the pace of a romantic partner, but when walking with a female friend men slow some, U.S. researchers say.
Cara Wall-Scheffler, a biologist at Seattle Pacific University, and colleagues said the study involved 11 couples, and 14 male and female friends of the pairs -- all ages 18-29 -- to walk several times around a track solo and as couples. People have an optimal walking speed, which minimizes energy expenditure for a given distance, with men tending to have faster optimal walking speeds, the researchers said.
The individuals walked around a track alone, with a significant other -- with and without holding hands -- and with friends of the same and opposite sex while their speeds were recorded.
The study, published in the journal PLoS One, found men walked faster when they walked alone, but walked at a significantly slower pace to match the females' paces, when the female was their romantic partner, whether they held hands or not.
However, when female partners walked with the male friends, the female partners increased their speeds, while the male friends decreased their speed -- demonstrating a compromise of speed.
Similarly, when the male partners walked with the female friends, the female friends increased their speed, while the male partners decreased their speed -- again demonstrating a compromise of speeds, the study said.
Lastly, when men walked with other men, they both sped up the pace, while women walked together they both slowed.

Leonard receives probation, fines
August 15, 2013
On Friday, Mary Angela Leonard, former clerk of the city of Willow River charged with embezzling over $167,000 from the city, was sentenced to 21 months in the prison. Her prison time was stayed for 20 years probation on the condition that she spends 30 days in county jail with additional restitution to be made to the City of Willow River. Judge James T. Reuter presided over the trial.
Leonard wrote and forged checks under the mayor's name from the City of Willow River during May of 2009 to August of 2012. She then cashed the checks and logged checks onto the computer under a legitimate account using the money to obtain property or services.
The prosecuting attorney requested a statement be made on behalf of the City of Willow River. Judge Reuter granted the request.
The statement, written by Willow River City Councilman Chris Ketchmark, was read as follows by the attorney, "Our close knit, small community of 410 suffered a devastating loss and betrayal at the hands of the defendant. A financial loss in excess of $167,000 in a town our size is quite substantial. This loss has delayed or prevented important projects and needs in our community. These include but are not limited to proper maintenance and repairs of our streets, repairing our sewer ponds, repairing our water lift station and purchasing equipment to do such repairs, maintenance and snow removal. The money this defendant admits to stealing from our city was not there when we needed it for infrastructure, let alone when the flood of 2012 ravaged citizens, homes and businesses there. This was money contributed by every hard-working, honest, tax paying citizen of our county.
"A betrayal and crime of this magnitude has had an emotional and psychological impact on the citizens of Willow River and those of us involved in its government. We are asked multiple times per week about how and why this crime happened. Those are questions only one person can answer. All we can tell the people we represent is that we're doing our best to see that the defendant pays for her crimes and that it never happens again. As Councilmen, we are left to apologize and carry the burden of a crime we had no idea was happening and would never have guessed would happen by someone we trusted. Every financial decision we make as a council will now be second guessed and scrutinized because of something one defendant did. Our citizens were left feeling suspicious and untrusting of their government, again because of one person's actions. At times it has felt like citizens were more upset at their government than the actions and crimes of the defendant.
"What outcome would we as a council and citizens of Willow River like to see in this case? Due to the repeated nature and length of time over which the thefts took place, we would like to see jail time and restitution in the maximum amount possible. As I stated, over 400 people have been affected by these crimes, not a nebulous "entity" but the City of Willow River. Every man, woman, and child in our town was stolen from and harmed by this defendant.
"Your Honor, I am a compassionate and reasonable human being. That being said, I feel very strongly that this defendant be punished to the maximum extent allowed. Gambling addiction is a disease, stealing multiple times over a period of years to support this disease, to enable this addiction is unacceptable. Stealing is not a disease. Theft is not a disease. Betraying your fellow citizens and those that hired you is not a disease. The first instance of stealing was a mistake, after that it was a calculated choice. Thank you. Dr. Chris Ketchmark."
Leonard's attorney stated that Leonard was looking forward to this day so she could express herself. Mary Leonard was then allowed to make a statement, "I just want to say how sorry I am. I stole a great deal of money from people I care about and put a burden on my family. I am glad today is here and I am in recovery and can start to make amends."
Judge Reuter stated to Leonard, "We see this from time to time especially in this community where there are lots of opportunities with the casinos. People go and win and that seems to put a hook in them and each time there is an expectation to win. It becomes an addiction. The tragedy here is that there are victims, people in the government. People start to suspect those in government and they have to respond to questions of how and why. This has an impact on a small community and the people of Willow River. This case has impacted their impressions on people in government. We can hold people accountable. The city thinks one year in county jail is acceptable.
"It is concerning to me that in 2004, you went through the program for gambling addiction and you are aware of your gambling problem. But you are a lady with no track record, clean as a whistle. What is the right thing to do? I think 20 years of probation to insure nothing like this ever happens again is rational. You have no criminal record. The addiction was controlling your behavior, but this is not to dismiss you."
The maximum fine of $30,000 was waived with Judge Reuter adding that this would create undue hardship and the minimum fine of $50 was imposed. Judge Reuter added that $100,000 was paid out from insurance to the City of Willow River. He also stated, "Regular payments toward restitution will be made (to pay the approximate balance of $65,000) and that funds in Leonard's pension account will be applied to restitution as well."
Other conditions imposed are that Leonard comply with recommended gambling programs and attend regular meeting regarding her addiction. Leonard is not to gamble, enter any establishment that allows gambling and remain law-biding. Judge Reuter added, "If you screw up, you will go back to jail."
Leonard will begin her jail time on August 19.

A couple whose home was heavily damaged by a deadly house explosion that left part of an Indianapolis neighborhood in ruins watched quietly Tuesday as a large excavator pulled apart their shattered home -- the first of nearly three dozen slated for demolition in the coming month.
Brett and Nikki Cocherell stood subdued across the street as the excavator tore into their home's second floor, sending insulation and drywall dust flying and revealing its buttery-yellow and pale blue interior walls.
The couple left before the demolition was complete and did not speak to reporters, taking with them a small section of mortared bricks pulled from their home's rubble as a memento.
Mike Phillips, a neighbor who stood with the couple during part of the demolition work, said they were in a surprisingly good frame of mind as they watched their home come down.
"They were kind of joking, trying to keep it lighthearted. They're in good spirits," said Phillips, who was awaiting an engineer to examine his home, which was also damaged in the explosion.
City building inspectors have ordered the demolition of 29 houses in the Richmond Hill subdivision, while four other homes also will be razed once an arson investigation is completed into the Nov. 10 blast that killed a young couple.
Authorities have said they believe the explosion was intentional and caused by natural gas, but have released no other details in their ongoing investigation.
Jennifer and John Longworth, who lived next door to the house believed to be the epicenter of the blast, died in the explosion.
The explosion damaged about 90 of the 125 homes in the subdivision, causing an estimated $4.4 million in structural damage to those homes, said Adam Collins, a deputy director with Indianapolis' department of code enforcement.
The 33 homes set for demolition were the most severely damaged, but Collins said dozens of other houses suffered nonstructural damage such as shattered windows, cracked walls to buckled garage doors.
He said homeowner's insurance should pay for the demolition of all the homes and debris removal. The cost of demolition is estimated at between $8,000 and $9,000 per home, but varies on each structure's size and design, Collins said.
"We're just focusing on turning this back into a construction site and getting the demolition accomplished so these people can get started on their recovery as quickly as possible," he said.
Six homes, including the Cocherells', must be razed this week, and another six are slated for demolition next week. The owners of another 17 homes have until Dec. 20 to either raze their homes or get an engineer's ruling that they can be saved.
Phillips, whose ranch-style home is about 75 yards from the Cocherells' home, said Tuesday he was awaiting an engineer to conduct a second inspection of his home. His home's first inspection found that it did not need to be demolished, but Phillips said he's worried about that assessment because his neighbors' homes were ordered razed.
He fears there could be hidden structural damage that won't come to light until he tries to sell his home.
"Five years from now, I don't know if somebody's going to want to buy a house in here that's this close to something like this," he said, gesturing toward ruined homes on the street behind him. "It's just a lot of stress. You don't want to screw anything up — I mean it's our house."

For those who can't get enough of Stieg Larsson's "Millennium" trilogy in all its book/movie incarnations, "The Girl Who Played With Fire" will no doubt be required viewing. For those of us not so fanatically inclined, this follow-up to "The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo" resembles nothing so much as a workmanlike TV crime thriller.
In fact, the film was originally intended solely for television. (The first installment was also shot for television but conceived as a big-screen theatrical release.) Director Daniel Alfredson – who also shot the third film, "The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest," due out in the fall – keeps things moving as the torchings, gougings, and throttlings proceed apace. All the familiar players reappear including, of course, investigative journalist Mikael Blomkvist (Michael Nyqvist) and hacker misfit Lisbeth Salander (Noomi Rapace), whose dragon tattoo is prominently displayed, like a bar code.
Lisbeth is accused of murdering two of Mikael's researchers who were working on an article on international sex-trafficking implicating high-level Swedes. Mikael is convinced she's innocent. An impressive array of bad guys turn up, including a jumbo thug (Micke Spreitz) who literally feels no pain, but only Lisbeth strikes sparks. It's said that Larsson had Pippi Longstocking in mind when he created her, and, in a punkish way, that makes sense. She's a fairy-tale hellion. Grade: B- (Rated R for brutal violence including a rape, some strong sexual content, nudity, and language.)

Pusha T, born Terrence Thornton in 1977, was in one of the best hip-hop groups of the new millennium, Clipse, a duo he formed with his older brother Gene "No Malice" Thornton in Virginia Beach. That the group is no longer active after Gene's conversion to Christianity frustrates Thornton, but he's moved on with a well-received 2013 solo album, "My Name is My Name" (G.O.O.D. Music).
With Clipse, the Thorntons fashioned a trio of musical novels on seemingly narrow theme: cocaine-dealing. But the albums, particularly the 2006 masterpiece "Hell Hath No Fury," are only superficially about drugs. They're about the people who sell drugs, and why they do it. The duo's story-telling skills combined with the sparse, ominous production of the Neptunes (Pharrell Williams, Chad Hugo) creates a cold-sweat world in which even the live-for-the-moment thrills are tinged by paranoia.
With his solo album, Pusha T reprises some of that ominous feel but also broadens his musical scope to include more atmospheric and playful touches while collaborating with Kanye West, the Dream and his boyhood friend Williams, among others.
In a wide-ranging interview, Thornton recounted the path to the new album and his thoughts about a potential reunion with his brother in Clipse. Here are a few excerpts:
Q: What was in the water in southeast Virgina in the '90s that enabled hip-hop artists like you, your brother, Pharrell Williams, Timbaland, Missy Elliot and others to develop?
A: I credit Virginia Beach being a military town, and me having a gumbo of different musical influences. I was a heavy fan of Houston music before it hit, of Bay area music. I learned all of this from going to school and meeting kids who had moved here from other parts of the country. We had mom and pop stores that catered to the military guys, and they would put their rims on their Galants, and put huge-ass house speakers in that trunk and they'd rattle with all the tools they'd put in back. In terms of production, Missy, Pharrell, Tim (Tim Mosley, aka Timbaland) had no limits, they listened and they saw like I saw. We drew from the same well — an abundance of influences. And I 100 percent blame Teddy Riley. He moved to Virginia from Harlem, and he was at a talent show, and Pharrell and them were discovered there. We would go to Teddy Riley's studio every day, rap for him, play our music, Pharrell wrote his verse for (Wreckx-N-Effect's 1992 Riley-produced hit) 'Rump Shaker.' And Guy would buy a black Ferrari and drive it around town. I thought that was only on 'Magnum PI.' It led me to know that music was a real way to make a living. I didn't know music was a real industry until Teddy Riley showed me. My brother was always a rapper, writer, a notebook-having guy. He had a crew of rappers, the principal at our high school called it a gang. Tim was the DJ for 20 sets of guys like Pharrell and my brother. They would all be rapping on Virginia Beach. Teddy was really inspirational in all of that.
Q: Detractors might say you make "drug albums," but they're more like character studies with all these layers. How did you develop that approach?
A: Anybody can get on a track: 'A brick costs $42,000 today, we don't play no games, we just spray.' We could do this all day. It takes a more introspective viewpoint to sit here and talk about the science of it. I'm talking about how it's dog eat dog, the level of loyalty you have with these people, because it's a team, and when it breaks down, what happens to your life. The competitive nature of these guys in the street, that vie for the biggest prize or the hottest girl. It's all about ego. Even the girl has a deeper agenda, the way she juggles the guys, plays one off the other. The gamesmanship. You have to delve deep into the mentality and conscience of the person living this life. The selfishness. You have to admit some (stuff). On 'My Name is my Name' I felt I was admitting some (stuff) about myself. People, especially rappers, don't want to admit they're wrong. But I felt like I was giving up an argument about a certain lifestyle. Everybody talks about 'I got rich, I got business,' but nobody tells the story about a friend giving state's evidence like I do in "S.N.I.T.C.H." It happens to all of us, nobody wants to touch it. Pharrell made me touch it, and it turned out to be an amazing record. That's the difference between us and other rappers. We take shots. A lot of rappers want you to believe they're bullet proof, that nothing bad happens to them. 'We're just rich.' But a part of me is about showing you where I took my shots, where I lost battles.
Q: On your solo album, you do some stretching musically. I'm guessing the Kelly Rowland track ("Let Me Love You") is not something you would've considered doing in Clipse. What led you there now?
A: I have another role to play now that I'm not in a duo. I probably wouldn't have done that in Clipse. In a duo, you write 16 or 24 bars, I get to be who I am selfishly, knowing there is a different dynamic working opposite me, creating the roller coaster of the song. When you are a solo artist you don't have that crutch, so I gotta dig deeper and be more personally open. I talk about I feel about my brother and his transition in music in a song like '40 Acres.' I talk about my parents' divorce, and how that may affect other relationships with me, though I never thought it would. I have to give you the lifestyle, the drug dealer lifestyle, but I also can do something like the Kelly Rowland record and channel Ma$e, another facet of who I am as solo artist. When you listen to 'Hell Hath no Fury' and 'My Name is My Name,' you can tell I'm a Jay Z fan. But you may not know I'm also really into Ma$e. It's a way of opening myself up and saying I'm a fan too of these other styles of rapping that maybe aren't as sophisticated.
Q: Does the next wave of hip-hop artists share those standards?
A: I'm hearing introspective (stuff) from guys like Kendrick (Lamar). I'm hearing younger guys telling their story. It's moving. Kendrick killed the nostalgia record. 'You want to tell me about your pops?' He's been through something, and I can feel that. But a lot of guys today don't want to go that deep. Breaking into a cold sweat? They don't want you to see that or smell that. It's not cool. But that's what makes you a person.
Q: You've given interviews talking about how your brother has turned down opportunities to do a Clipse tour and make a new album with you. Is it frustrating for you?
A: My brother is the happiest he has ever been. I'm ecstatic. I'm willing to do this whenever he's ready. The frustration you hear in some of my interviews about this is that my older brother, there is nothing he tells me 'no' for. Nothing. He has never told me 'no' for the past 36 years. He did press for me if I didn't feel like doing it. As a child -- he's five years older -- there is nothing I could get from him if I asked him for it. My frustration is that I feel like my brother's reluctance has a lot to do with the problems we had with the record industry getting our music out in Clipse. It hasn't been the smoothest run for us. My brother has evolved, become a better person. I would much rather have that go on, without the bumps in the road. I don't want him to feel like he's been slighted. When I say in '40 Acres,' 'My better half chose a better path, applaud him,' I mean it. But I keep the hope going. We talk about it (a Clipse reunion), we talk about everything. I'm spoiled, bro, and that's my problem.

A hot air balloon leaves the ground at a point that is horizontal distance 190 metres from an observer and rises vertically upwards. The observer notes that the rate of increase of the angle of inclination between the horizontal and the vertical and the observer where line of sight (hyp) is a constant 0.045 radians per minute.
What is the rate of increase in metres per minute of the distance between the balloon and the observer when the balloon is 180 metres above the ground?
To solve it I visualised a right angled triangle with angle 0.045 radians, a base (adj) of 190 and opposite of 180m (position of balloon) so I'm guessing an element of trig is involved. I denoted the rate of increase in metres per minute of the distance ds/dt but I don't know if s is the hypotenuse and what to do to calculate ds/dt.
Can someone please break it down for me?
i did but i hit a brick wall. If i call the side opposite to θ x then tanθ=x/170 and dx/dθ=170sec$^2$θ (which can be expressed as cos) but I don't know what to do next

Will the model S get AWD ?
Will the model S get AWD ?
use volkerize.com to search the forums. And NO nobody knows if or when it will get AWD.
Last known info from Elon is that it won't be anytime soon. My personal guess is that AWD Model S will be in 2015, not sooner than Model X.
Yeah, I think there's much less there than meets the eye. The S is not fundamentally an off-road capable vehicle.
When we talk about awd, it's nor for off road but more for contries like Canada or northern united states. Finland, and the north contries nedd that from a car.
They think they need it, because they're used to sluggish ICE TC.
SOME people think they need it Brian. The rest of us know how to drive :P
>Yeah, I think there's much less there than meets the eye. The S is not fundamentally an off-road capable vehicle.
>They think they need it, because they're used to sluggish ICE TC.
I don't know where you live or what kind of weather you are used to, but there is a reason why big European manufactures have great success with their AWD models. Most of them are not big SUV's, pick ups or terrain vehicles. They are just ordinary models that have 4wd for increased passability.
If you live in a place with winter and snow 6 months a year, have twisty curvy roads that often get terrible snowdrifts or icy surface speed alone will not get you on top of the hill - in fact speed will take you to an early grave in such hash conditions. What will get you on top of that hill now matter what the man upstairs throw at you is traction. From all 4 wheels.
Sure people from sunny California or other sunshine states might find that hard to grasp but many people around the world prefer an AWD car even if they know how to drive, because an AWD makes their life easier and more predictable when they know they will make it in to work even if there is a raging blizzard or heavy snowstorm.
On top of that an AWD Tesla would give an even faster 0-60 time....and who would not like that?
And because the model X is delayed according to initial plans an AWD model S would make very much sense right now. And customer lusting for an X would not be put off and settle for S AWD cause those are two different types of cars. A sport car enthusiast would not choose a Cayenne over a 911. Same goes for AWD S - a sporty sedan is not a SUV even with traction in all 4 corners.
@torst1 I second that. I've had AWD cars since I started snowboarding over 6 years ago (Subarus). It makes life so much easier. To know you are going to be able to get where you are going no matter the conditions on the roads is priceless. It's also nice that I will never have to stop and get out of the car with freezing weather to chain up so I can get over a hill. AWD is a most have in some parts of the country, specially for people that enjoy and practice winter sports regularly. Hope the generation 3 car comes with this option.
I really can't understand why Tesla does not unleash an AWD version of the S right now. The only difference would be the front axel and maybe software. Should be possible to put an AWD together on the same assembly line they are currently using.
Yet another model would create extra PR, more articles in magazines, on TV and even more hits on google. And customers would pay a higher prize bettering the bottom line while strengthening the brand name.
But as I am not the one calling the shots I will get the S P85 for now - and make a trade as soon as the AWD version is here. Tesla are you listening? We want an AWD model S - and we need one now.
@torst1 - MS and MX are the same, MX has a little longer wheelbase and a different box on top, but that is it. So once you have one with little effort you have both. TM is about modular engineering.
Why is MX delayed? We don't know. Maybe it is because all wheel drive needs more time to develop. TM has very limited engineering resources and it is better to do one product right then two half right.
Sunny California ? We have the highest mountains in the lower US and lots and lots of rural area. AWD is a must for many in CA.
prize != price.
Well kleist you might think so, I for sure don't think they are the same.
MX har higher ground clearance and also some strange doors that will not go well with carrying ski, snowboards etc on the roof. That alone will be a dealbreaker for many. If it is delayed cause of issues regarding the 4wd I certainly see why there is no immediately launch of an AWD MS. If it is not due to problems with 4wd I say give it to us now, pls.
Brian H, are you the bold english teacher I had in 12th grade?
Still having ladies issues or how is that working for you?
Torst1 - you don't know Brian H ? He is our guardian angel in terms of grammar, spelling and many other things including technical questions we are struggeling with.
I don't what your general background is, but I work in design/production and I know how much effort it takes to put any product or product upgrade into the hands of customers. And it costs a lot of money. TM is doing things amazingly fast. But "give me now" is not how it works.
You are pointing out superficial differences like doors ( you can put falcon wing doors on a MS ), ride height ( on any car you can put some spacers ). MS and MX share the same technology. The chassis is the same design and components, except MX is a little longer.
I think Elon said Model X will have ability to carry skis, snowboards and such :)
Hm pls explain that Jolinar?
You can't carry a rack on the roof cause of the rear doors and the way they open. Sure you can fold rear seats but how are the kids gonna get to the cabin? By bus? I'd prefer less fancy doors or even suicide doors over those currently showed for MX. I can't really see how one can carry skies and snowboards in a MX.
Lock one side down?
Or you might as well weld the back doors shut and be done with it.
Brian H sorry but that is neither feasible nor desirable. Keeping doors shut while juggling a "flock of kids" on a rest stop sounds like a bad idea.
Elon didn't mentioned how it will work, he just said they have solution for it. If I'll find the video, I'll post it here.
According to this article the AWD Model S version accounts for the extra frunk liners that have been ordered lately.

$695 is the price for Le Corbusier Grande chair from www.gibraltarfurniture.com (800 416 3635). Gibraltar is furniture nirvana for classic furniture! Our product is a world class imported classic piece that will be a showcase addition to any collection!
A Google™ search indicates that one of the foremost sites for high end furniture at wholesale prices is Gibraltar. "This West coast Internet pioneer features retro, modern, and post-modern furnishings at rock bottom prices. Gibraltar offers an exceptional array of wholesale, architectural, modern, high quality items at factory direct discount prices. Gibraltar Furniture is one of the leaders in the world of Internet modern architectural products. Gibraltar sells furniture manufactured in Italy, Asia, and the USA and all sales are tax free outside of California."
Le Corbusier was born Charles-Edouard Jeanneret in Switzerland in 1887. He was a tireless proselytizer, addressing the public in his own magazine, exhibitions he designed and pamphlets he wrote. Dressed like a bureaucrat with his horn-rimmed glasses and dark suits, Le Corbusier was truly an artist, performing numerous paintings and sculptures. His greatest work includes the design of the city of Chandigar in India. This precise high quality reproduction of the original was designed for the 1929 Salon d'Automne.
This exclusive classic masterpiece is made out of 100% Italian leather! The Le Corbusier Grande Comfort series was originalyl designed for the 1929 Salon d'Automne. Following the example of the LC1 Sling Chair, the LC2 Petite series reverse the standard structures of sofas and chairs by having frames externalized. It is a modern classic.
The size for this chair is : 35″L x 29″D x 27″H; SH: 15″. All cushions are made of multi-density foam for plush comfort and firm support. Thick, resilient foam pillows rest on top of the frame and provide the kind of sumptuousness comfort found only in the finest overstuffed conventional chairs. The leather is hand-selected, expertly sewn and piped. All lines are clean, straight, and precise. This piece boasts incredible quality, style and comfort at an unbelievable price. Matching sofa and loveseat are available, too.
All of our Le Corbusier classics are made of 100% Italian leather, manufactured in Italy, by the Mastrotto Group. Based in Arzignano (Vicenza, Italy), the Mastrotto Group is the gold standard for world wide hide production and one of the most important global sources for the creation of upholstery, furniture, and leather goods. They are the exclusive source for all of the leather used in Mercedes Benz and BMW automobiles.
We can produce this chair in Black, Bright White, Camel, Chocolate, Ivory, Black, Red, Saddle Tan. Bordeaux, Cognac, Cappuccino, Golden Tan, Hunter Green, Navy Blue, Parchment, Tangerine, Wasabi, Cranberry, Toffee, or Whiskey in your choice of three different leather grades including Deluxe, Primo, and Exquisite.
Deluxe is our highly durable Top Grain Leather that is grain-corrected and color pigmented. The grain surface is slightly abraded to remove imperfections before a protective surface coating is applied. A decorative leather-grain pattern is then embossed into the surface for a finished look.
Primo is a top grain Semi-Aniline Leather that has just a small amount of pigment or clear finish added to its surface, thus allowing the natural unique characteristics of the hide to still show through while offering some of the benefits of color consistency and increased durability.
Exquisite is the softest and most expensive leather. This Full-Aniline Leather is left in its most natural/naked state after the aniline-dye process. The leathers reveal different grain patterns, healed scars, and other natural markings. Dyes are absorbed differently between each hide so there may be tonality differences in each piece of leather. Full Aniline means that it is UNPROTECTED with no pigments or top coatings sprayed on after the aniline-dye process, which keeps the leather in the most natural and soft state possible.
This top grain leather is aniline dyed and turned in drums to soften it. Then, a finish coat is added to protect the hide against stains and fading. Our top grain leather has a fine and supple hand. We feel that it is an excellent combination of softness, durability, consistency of color, resistance to sunlight, and ease of maintenance.
We ship factory direct so that you don't have to pay a middle man for a mark up. This means you get the wholesale price and a great product at unbeatable prices! We can produce this piece in a rainbow of ultra high quality leather colors, or your choice of COM (customers own material) or COL (customers own leather).

Identity is an interesting thing. We dress and decorate ourselves to convey a message to others, communicating to them with intentionality or not "this is what I want you to think about who I am." What is interesting about this, though, is that most people don't interpret our message the way we intend. Our identity and the opinions of others are inextricably linked together, for better or worse. Our identity forms opinions. Others opinions mold and form our identity.
Identity is something I have been thinking about a lot over the last several years as I try to understand more about myself, and how I view others. In 2015, I created a portrait series called Members Only, where I styled 13 people to look exactly the same. Once I finished that series, I wanted to explore multiple identities in a single person, and wondered what was the extent of the range of a single human face. In a portrait, visually, how much can one person change? With that, I give you Con Man.
Howard Cogitz is one of the most prolific American con men of the 20th century. His first known con was in 1958 while running a fake real estate development company in Florida. At best count, he walked away with over 3 million dollars from nearly 16 individuals and families.
In 1963 he spread out, with known ties to Las Vegas, New York, and San Francisco. It seems he may have primarily lived in Florida under many different aliases, which indicates he may have originally been from there. His main game was to create fake corporations in the real estate business and offer investment opportunities to people beginning to think about retirement. His work can be traced from 1958 to 1971 when all signs of him vanished. He was never caught or arrested, although there is record of him receiving a traffic ticket for speeding in Los Angeles during 1964 under the name Charles Barber.
Below are some behind the scenes pictures for those of you who like to see how things are made. A very big thank you to Jennifer Popochock, Alexis Steinman, Brian Kirk, Viktor Fejes, Duffy De Armas, my wife Nichelle, and Peter Hanson. Behind the scenes pictures by Peter Hanson. I feel like this is just the start of something pretty exciting.

* Indoor Cat Fairy Garden
The girls and I recently re-made
this little indoor fairy garden
Elly is notorious for eating our houseplants.
She destroys any and all flowers that come into the house,
as well as decorative ribbon, balloon strings, and raffia.
To give her something she actually CAN eat,
we planted some kitty grass
in this shallow dish.
The girls added glass rocks as "water" in the form of some pebbles,
a perfect Chair-shaped rock, a small bench, and some PlayMobil fairy friends.
Elly loves it and so do the girls.
So far so good, I haven't found any grass barfed up around the house yet!
(of course, now that I've typed that I've sealed my fate
and will be stepping in some in the next hour)
We had grass sprouts in a few days
and the whole thing looked like a mini jungle in about a week.
I think we'll be planting our easter baskets
with "cat grass" this year as well!
I found the grass seeds at the pet store (PetCo/PetSmart)
We were much more successful growing our own
grass from seed than we have been with buying those
little pots of pre-planted grass in the past...
they pre-planted ones from the store are always
infested with little gnats and die in less than a week.
We're also growing strawberry plants,
onions, and lettuce from seed this year... keep your fingers crossed!
and.... (just because I'm a smitten mama)
here's a photo
of the birthday girl "E"
blowing out her seven candles on her birthday cheesecake.

EXAMINATION NOVEMBER 1965 Thirty-four H&S offices are represented in the list of ninety-three successful candidates from the November 1965 CPA Examination. New York Office, with fourteen, had the largest number of them. Out of thousands of eligible candidates, Robert E. Wailes, Jr. (Birmingham), a graduate of the University of Alabama who joined H&S in 1962, received the highest grade on all parts of the exam. For this achievement Bob will receive the Elijah Watt Sells gold medal awarded by the American Institute of CPAs. The gold medal represents the pinnacle of the awards system established by the Council of the Institute in 1923. A silver medal is presented to the second highest scorer and from seven to ten certificates of honorable mention go to those whose papers are deemed outstanding. Considering the number eligible, these awards represent an outstanding accomplishment. We are pleased to have in H&S not only the gold medal winner, but an honorable mention as well, received by Christopher E. Burns of Philadelphia. A 1959 graduate of the Wharton School of Finance and Commerce of the University of Pennsylvania, Chris joined H&S in 1963 after several years in business. To both of these men and to all who successfully completed the exam, the Firm extends heartiest congratulations. Atlanta O. Robert Gay, Jr. James R. Hannah Birmingham Robert E.

A Weekend at Halsway Manor
Set against the backdrop of the beautiful Quantock Hills in Somerset, Halsway Manors location is truly superb. Acquired by the Halsway Manor Society in 1965 it is the only residential folk centre in the UK and for a great many years The Yetties have hosted a weekend gathering in February.
This event is always oversubscribed such is its popularity! This hardy bunch of enthusiasts subject themselves to a weekend of wall to wall entertainment, including three dances, a concert, musical workshops, lectures/talks and of course, singalongs in the bar!
Helping to provide the energy to face all this activity is the superb and plentiful catering provided by the Halsway Manor staff.
So, if youve ever wondered what all the fuss is about then this DVD provides the answers. Shot for the first time in High Definition format, it fully captures the atmosphere of the weekends activities plus a wealth of musical favourites, including: Poor Poor Farmer, Rambleaway, My brother Sylveste, Pipers Prayer, Maggie May, The January Man, Dill Pickle Rag, Lord of the Dance, The Life of a Man, Wave over Wave, The Class Routine, Sherborne Hornpipe, Acreman Steet Jig, Lady Walpoles Reel, Leave her Johnny and Leave her.

プロ・専門家の海外ボランティア ジャマイカで基礎学力指導教師
- Placement Location: Mandeville
- Requirements: Full qualifications as a teacher
- Accomodation: Host family
- Length of placement: From 2 weeks
- Start Dates: Flexible
On this voluntary teaching placement you will work with a community literacy project. You will help teach Jamaican adults to read and write.
Approximately 21% of adults in Jamaica are illiterate. This project teaches adults in small groups where they feel comfortable. Your knowledge and experience as a teacher will assist in this innovative projects development.
Here you will find answers to the following questions:
How can volunteer teachers help in Jamaica?
What will I gain from this project?
What will Projects Abroad PRO provide?
What skills or qualifications do I need?
How can volunteer teachers help in Jamaica?
You can use your knowledge and training to help local staff as a volunteer teacher. You can work on tasks such as:
- Assessing the quality of training material provided by local agencies and suggesting any improvements
- Working with existing staff to help improve their teaching methods.
- Working with a class of adults to improve their basic literacy skills.
- Providing advice on issues such as career choice, work etiquette and opportunities for further education.
- Teaching individual pupils in their own home.
- Organizing and running training clinics for Projects Abroad volunteers working with local schools (optional).
Most of your classes will involve groups of around 10-15 adults. Classes are organised in local communities to make them more accessible. A curriculum is provided and you will be expected to set homework and assess your pupils' performance.
This project runs all year round so you can join at any time. You decide how much time you can spare and we will help you get the most out of it. However, please note that the project is closed in the last two weeks of December and the first week of January due to the holiday season.
What will I gain from this project?
You will gain experience in a new way of teaching adults. You will be able to get out of the classroom and teach outdoors or in people's homes. You will also interact with fellow teachers and learn from each other's experiences. You will also benefit from the "feel good factor" that comes from improving people's lives.
Through educating adults in their own homes and communities you will learn about Jamaican culture and way of life. Staff and pupils will want to hear about your life back home and your family and friends. We call this "cultural exchange" and we think it helps our volunteers gain a new perspective on life.
What will Projects Abroad PRO provide?
We have over 25 years' experience of running volunteer projects. We provide you with the following support to make sure your time in Jamaica is successful and enjoyable:
- Safe accommodation with an Jamaican family close to your project.
- Friendly and dedicated local staff available to help 24 hours a day.
- A member of staff to meet you at the airport when you arrive.
- Comprehensive medical and travel insurance.
What skills or qualifications do I need?
If you are a qualified teacher then you are perfectly suited to this project.
If you are interested in this project but don't have the relevant experience, then please read about our standard Teaching projects in Jamaica.
