About Baltimore Maryland
Baltimore is located in Maryland. It is the largest city in Maryland, and one of the largest cities in the entire United States. This city isn't part of a county, and instead is an independent city. Baltimore was founded in 1729, and is home to Inner Harbor. Inner Harbor was where many immigrants entered the United States, and was also a major manufacturing center. Although manufacturing isn't as major these days, Baltimore has reinvented itself with a service-oriented economy. Johns Hopkins Hospital and Johns Hopkins University show that new economy, especially as they are the top two employers in the city. Baltimore is known as a "city of neighborhoods", because of the hundreds of different districts that can be identified. Many famous people called Baltimore home, such as Edgar Allan Poe, Frederick Douglass, Billie Holiday, Edith Hamilton, Babe Ruth, and H.L. Mencken.

Five reasons I get behind in processing email
1. Emails require action.
2. Spider Solitaire snares my attention--until I win a game.
3. Reading an action-packed novel is more enjoyable.
4. My computer stays at home when I visit my Mom, for several days.
5. Kitty drapes herself over my shoulder and needs to be held up and petted.
Five ways to reduce email accumulation:
1. Sort email by "From." This method seems organized, whereas arrangement by "Subject" or "Receive" appears jumbled and takes longer. Process those emails that require a response--first.
2. "Unsubscribe" to emails sent daily or weekly from airlines, bookstores, and catalogs, etc.
3. Reduce the number of your email accounts, especially if you seldom look at them.
4. Ask friends to cease sending chain-letter type emails, jokes, and/or forwards, if burdensome.
5. Read and process 10 emails before playing 3 games of Spider Solitaire, or reading 5 pages in a book.
Before you start to tackle email clutter, ask and answer these questions: "Why am I putting off processing this email? Do I really need to save it? Can this information be found elsewhere?" Choose a time of day that works best for you to read and act on your emails. It works!

Trend watchers noticed a spike in online searches about voter registration even before Khizr Khan left the stage after his passionate rebuke of Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump during Thursday's last night of the Democratic National Convention.
"Tonight we are honored to stand here as parents of Capt. Humayun Kahn and as patriotic American Muslims," the Pakistani immigrant said in a loving tribute to his son, an Army captain killed while serving in Iraq.
He then asked Trump if he had read the Constitution and offered to lend the business mogul his before asking Trump what sacrifices he had made.
[ Fallen Muslim Soldier's Dad to Trump: Have You Read the Constitution? ]
Observers noted a real-time spike in queries for voter registration.
As soon as Khizr Khan finished his speech, "register to vote" spiked as a Google search. pic.twitter.com/0HZbBuCWwR— Nate Goldman (@NateGoldman) July 29, 2016
A GOP strategist took an unscientific survey afterward and found that Khan's words were on nearly everyone's mind.
Asked ppl inside/outside Arena last night what most effective DNC speech had been. 14 of 16 said Cpt. Khan's dad. Agree. It was POWERFUL. — Ana Navarro (@ananavarro) July 29, 2016
"It was POWERFUL," she shared on Twitter.
Interest in joining the political conversation snowballed as the DNC program rolled along in Philadelphia.
Moments after Hillary Clinton agreed to become the first female presidential nominee put forward by a major party, the political sphere managed another historic feat: trumping our obsession with pop culture.
According to Google Trends, "register to vote" overtook "Kim Kardashian" as a source of interest just before midnight.
The flirtation with civic responsibility proved fleeting: Mrs. Kanye West was back on top less than 10 minutes later.
Kardashian wasn't the only women getting online love during the DNC.
Armchair researchers spent a good deal of time looking into the likes of first lady Michelle Obama and comedian Sarah Silverman, the latter having stolen the show on Monday by shaming Bernie or Bust supporters for "being ridiculous."
Alternative candidates also managed to move the needle a bit.
[ Gary Johnson Fine With Playing Spoiler, Envisions More ]
In the hours before Clinton's big moment, more people had burning questions about the Libertarian Party (and, presumably, two-time presidential nominee Gov. Gary Johnson) than the Green Party or the GOP.
The next order of business appears to be getting up to speed on the forthcoming presidential debates.
Johnson appears to be in the mix there, too.

One of the more valuable exercises in "The E-Myth Revisited" was answering the series of questions which define one's personal aim. Following are the questions (underlined) and my answers to them.
As a small incentive to try the exercise yourself, I'll edit this post and link to anyone who e-mails me a link to a post on their blog answering the same questions. I think you'll find it valuable, and it's probably a good introduction to potential new readers.
My answers aren't in any sort of order. I was hungry when I wrote this, so food seems to make it to the top of some of the lists.
What do I want my life to look like?
Full of good, healthy food
Eating healthy is a priority for me, initially for the health benefits and now because I derive a deep satisfaction from eating well and treating my body well.
Lots of time spent doing interesting things with my friends
Besides just spending time with my friends, I want to spend time traveling with them, learning with/from them, and building things with them.
A comfortable but exciting relationship with my girlfriend
Parts of the relationship should be comfortable and predictable, but I never want for any relationship to become routine, taken for granted, or boring. Some parts of it should be exciting, unknown, and unpredictable.
Frequent authentic traveling
I want to visit a lot of places, but even as I become wealthier, I never want to cloister myself in five star hotels and remove myself from the grit of daily local life. That doesn't mean that I'll avoid luxury, but it won't be the standard.
Learning constantly
I want my life to continue to be marked by constant learning and interest in new subjects. This is easy now that I'm young, but I know that as people age things change.
Spending time with my family (including extended family)
I'm very lucky to have an amazing family, and I want for my life to always include them, including my extended family which sometimes doesn't get enough attention.
Fans who count on me to improve their lives
I always want to have people who follow my work and find it valuable, not just for entertainment, but also because it makes a concrete difference in their lives.
Access to people who are the best in their field
One of the main reasons I want celebrity is to have easier access to high profile people. Anyone with any sort of public life gets more requests for his time than he can accommodate, and I'd like for people who receive my requests to be excited about them.
Constant open mindedness and experimentation with new things.
Like the constant learning, I want to always keep my sense of adventure and willingness to try different things.
What do you want your life to look like on a daily basis?
What would I like to be able to say I truly know in my life about my life?
I want to know that my life was lived with conscious thought put into as much of it as possible, that it was lived with integrity, that I always did what I thought was best, and that other people benefited from me being alive.
How would I like to be with other people in my life - friends, family, business associates, customers, employees, community?
I want to be someone who can be counted on to listen, to do a favor, and for motivation. I want my friends to be successful and to know that I am rooting for them. I want to be empathetic and to be able to put myself in their shoes and act accordingly.
I want to express my love and gratitude to my family. I want them to be able to rely on me when they need it.
Business Associates
I want to make deals that are mutually beneficial, over deliver, make my expectations clear and reasonable, and do the right thing whether it's contractual or not.
I want to deliver work of the highest quality to customers, and for my name to be synonymous with excellence. I want to treat customers with respect, not talk down to them, and to treat them like real people with real lives. I don't want to sell things to people that won't be of real value.
I want to give employees jobs that matter to them. I want to have very clear communication, so that employees know what they're responsible for, and know that I appreciate the work they do. I want to motivate employees to pursue excellence.
I don't really care, to be totally honest. It would be nice to be recognized by the community as an asset, but it's not important to me to please everyone.
How would I like people to think about me?
I would like for people to think about me accurately, for better or worse. It's more important to me that people know about me than how they feel about me.
What do I want to be doing 2,10,20 years from now? At the end of my life?
2 (age 30)
I want to be entrenched in a business that I love and believe in. I'd like to have gained more focus. I'd like to be doing some sort of public speaking (a couple times a year at least) that impacts people in such a way that they take action, (like how I am taking action with this book) (maybe more than 2 years, but less than 10).
10 (age 38)
It's probably time to have kids by then. Money should be permanently taken care of. I should be fluent in Chinese, Japanese, Spanish, and maybe French. Involvement in my business should be overall strategy and work that I genuinely enjoy. I should probably have my submarine by then.
20 (age 48)
can't really imagine what it's like to be that old, and can't really imagine anything beyond my 38 year goals. The one thing that comes to mind is that it would be nice to have some land and a huge house / compound for friends, family, and future family to enjoy. There should also be enough money in some sort of trust that maintenance is perpetually guaranteed.
End of Life
Who knows? I would like to have written things I've learned which were valuable to me so that I can pass them on to people who are interested.
What would I like to learn in my life?
Everything. I don't think I understand the question.
How much money will I need, and when?
1m by 32. 100m by 38. I hate these questions because I know that I am happy no matter how much money I have. I picked one million by thirty two because by then I will probably be starting to think about a family, and having that amount of money will probably mean that I'm where I want to be, businesswise.
I picked $100m by 38 because I really want to buy the Phoenix 1000 submarine, and that's about how much it will cost including enough reserves to pay for the upkeep perpetually
EDIT:Kevin posted his answers here, Chris' are here, and Gabriel's are here.Post yours and I'll link you here.
Thanksgiving is probably my favorite holiday. The other ones are weird religious inventions or consumerized hijackings of religious inventions. And sure, the origins of thanksgiving are a bit murky, but it's hard to argue with such a simple holiday: spend some time with your family and/or friends, and be thankful.
I especially like that it's about appreciating what we already have, taking a break from the distraction of every day life, and thinking about all of the good things that make it up.
Today, as I spend time with some of them, I've been thinking about how thankful I am for my family. I've always gotten along really well with my family, but since most of them were around by the time I was born, I'm sure I have a tendency to take them for granted. As a kid I always just assumed that everyone had a great family and that their family was behind them supporting them all the time. Then, as I grew up, I saw situations where that wasn't the case, and I realized how good I have it.
I have three fantastic siblings, any or all of whom I enjoy spending unlimited time with. We each live in different cities now, but when we're together it's like we're best friends. Besides a scuffle over a plastic ninja sword as a kid, I can't think of a single fight I've had with any of them.
If anyone else is like me, they have more than one 'version' of themselves and each one serves almost a different purpose. For example, I'm the happy, confident and generally carefree me in front of my friends and mostly my family, however, with a certain group of my friends, the closer ones to me the people I actually trust, I also show them the me when I'm down and vulnerable. And of course with my lover I show him all of me, when I'm happy and carefree as well as when Im troubled or depressed ^ ^
So that's images - what other people show us and what we choose to show other people. Next is masks. Basically the same but with more of a 'hiding' element to it. So for example, a few days back I was feeling super depressed, really sick of life and I was only online to try and distract myself from my suicidal thoughts when a friend began talking to me. Talking to him, I had to act completely normal, which to be honest can be pretty tiring especially when I was already feeling so exhausted mentally to begin with.
Wearing masks in front of people has become basically second nature to me and I do it naturally like everyone else, to hide my weaknesses from other people. Not only my friends but my family, pretending I'm ok even when inside I'm torn apart. Now don't get me wrong, I'm not playing it like I'm the only person on earth who does this, I have to yet to find someone who doesn't, but I just want some more opinions on this and maybe some clarification as to why I don't feel like I can trust my family?
Also, I'm really selfish. Even when I hide my pain from other people, I sort of still expect them to notice I'm not ok, really selfish I know and basically seeking attention but sometimes I think we all need that- someone who can understand how youre feeling without you telling them. My boyfriend always somehow seems to be able to tell that I'm feeling depressed sometimes even before I notice which is pretty crazy but also rather nice; knowing theres someone out there you don't have to act in front of, who loves you and understands you and knows you as well as you know yourself ^ ^
Next is 'worlds', not literal worlds hence why its in quotation marks. Like many people, I keep my personal and family life apart. Yes I call it personal not social simply cuz I find that I 'socialize' with people I don't trust and include my friends as part of 'personal' since these are the people I trust.

Geologist Margaret Bradshaw's career as an Antarctic researcher started with a simple request that she "go down and get some rocks" for the Canterbury Museum's new Antarctic Hall.
It was 1975 and Bradshaw was curator of geology at the museum.
"I was asked to put on a geological exhibit for the new Antarctic Hall but when I looked in the collection, I couldn't find any rocks.
So I suggested the easiest thing to do would be to go down and get some," she remembers.
In the mid-70s, only a handful of women had been to Antarctica.
Until 1969, the United States Navy had refused to transport women to the continent and the US agency that coordinated Antarctic research didn't allow women to work there.
When the ban was lifted in 1969, New Zealander Pamela Young, and five American women in a separate party, worked on the ice that year and became the first women to set foot at the South Pole.
When Bradshaw successfully applied in 1975, she was joined by British geologist Susan West.
"She'd done a PhD on Antarctic rocks but she'd never been down.
She only worked on the rocks that men brought back."
West came to New Zealand at her own expense when she heard that New Zealand was including women in their programme.
Bradshaw and West arrived at Scott Base to prepare for their field expedition.
"It didn't bother us at all. We thought we'd fit right in, but when we went to the bar it was full of bearded characters who glowered at us and said, 'We came down here to get away from people like you.'"
Scott Base had not been set up for women.
A post office cupboard had to be converted into a women's toilet and specific times were allocated for women to shower.
Bradshaw remembers having to push back against special treatment - even though some of it was well meaning.
"Even in the 70s and 80s there were the odd times when leaders would try to stop you doing full survival training. They would say being alone in a snow cave overnight was too dangerous. But we stuck to our guns and, in the end, they didn't hold it against us."
Bradshaw's first trip to "get some rocks" turned into a lifetime of research. In the Dry Valleys she discovered rocks with strange patterns like spaghetti.
"I saw this on the first trip and thought, 'This is interesting. What caused these?'"
These rocks and this question set Bradshaw on a career path that included nine Antarctic research trips and continues today.
The rocks are what are known as trace fossils - the spaghetti marks turned out to be made by a burrowing sea creature that lived on the bottom of the sea 400 million years ago.
In 1979, Bradshaw was the first woman to lead a deep field party.
That was the same year that Air New Zealand Flight 901 crashed at Mt Erebus, killing everyone onboard.
"We knew something was going on because we heard all the radio traffic. They were calling us but we couldn't respond. In the end, we had to radio South Pole and get them to pass on the message that we were alright."
In 1993, Bradshaw was the first New Zealand woman (and second woman ever) to be awarded the Polar Medal. Bradshaw Peak in Antarctica is named for her.
She was president of the Antarctic Society for 10 years.
Bradshaw and her husband, who is also an Antarctic geologist, moved to Christchurch from England in 1966 - just a month after their first baby was born.
"We've never regretted coming to Christchurch. We've learned how to sail and ski and we've raised our two kids here. It was definitely a good move."
But she admits being a mother and a deep field researcher was a challenge.
"I wouldn't say it's easy.
And I had a lot of support from my husband. So I left the kids with him and I felt completely confident they'd be alright. I don't think I'd been able to go otherwise."
The couple would take turns looking after the children and travelling to Antarctica for their research.
They learned to adopt some ground rules.
"Once my husband sent me a letter and in it he was talking about some or other problems with the kids and it upset me.
There was nothing I could do.
When I came back, I said, we need to have a system where we leave all the talking about problems until we come back."
Today, at almost 77, Bradshaw and her husband live above Lyttelton Harbour at Church Bay.
Bradshaw continues her research and is now comparing fossils from Antarctica with similar-era fossils found in New Zealand and Australia.
Her curiosity hasn't abated.
"I'd love to go back to Antarctica to find more fossil fish localities.
There's so much more research to be done on the rocks.
They probably won't let me go down now."

On 28 October 2010, the European Commission decided to refer Austria to the Court of Justice for its lack of independent data protection authority (see press release IP/10/1430). The Commission deemed that provisions setting up the so-called Data Protection Commission (Datenschutzkommission) do not conform to EU rules, which require Member States to establish a completely independent supervisory body to monitor the application of Directive 95/46/EC ("Data Protection Directive").
Even though the Austrian Data Protection Act 2000 (Datenschutzgesetz 2000) sets forth that the members of the Data Protection Commission shall be "independent and not bound by instructions in the exercise of their duties", the Commission considers that "complete independence," as required under Article 28 para 1 of the Data Protection Directive, is not guaranteed.
The Commission alleges that the Data Protection Commission remains under the supervision of the Federal Chancellor because it is integrated into the Chancellery in terms of its organisation and staff and that it neither controls its own staffing nor its equipment. Furthermore, the Commission complains that the Data Protection Commission does not have its own budget and has always been run by a senior official of the Chancellery as an executive member (geschäftsführendes Mitglied), subject to the supervision of the Chancellery. Finally, the right of the Chancellor to be informed at all times by the executive member on all subjects concerning daily business potentially hinders the members of the Data Protection Commission in the independent performance of their tasks.
Based on a complaint filed by ARGE DATEN, a private Austrian organisation for the protection of personal data, in 2003, the Commission initiated treaty violation proceedings against Austria. However, since despite these proceedings the Austrian Administrative Court confirmed in 2007 that the Data Protection Commission was duly organised and in line with EU rules on data protection, the Austrian legislature did not take advantage of the opportunity of this year's amendment to the Data Protection Act in order to cope with the concerns of the Commission.
While attempting to predict how the court will rule is difficult, it is more likely than not that the Court of Justice will follow the Commission's approach to the independence of data protection authorities, which reflects a decision that the European Court of Justice already rendered on 3 March 2010 (C-518/07) in relation to a very similar case dealing with the German data protection authority. According to the European Court, data protection authorities have to remain free of any external influence, including the direct or indirect influence of the state, and the mere risk of political influence through state scrutiny may be sufficient to hinder the independent performance of supervisory tasks.
In any case, it may be highlighted that the Austrian Data Protection Commission suffers from a staff shortage, measured against other European data protection authorities of comparable countries. Thus, treaty violation proceedings should at least mark a starting point in order to reconsider and evaluate the importance of an adequately staffed commission and, also in financial terms, a sufficiently independent data protection authority in Austria.

Arjen Robben has said he is "happy" to be attracting interest from Real Madrid. Chelsea's Dutch international winger has been linked with a move from Stamford Bridge all summer. Robben, who has a knee problem, was not included in the squad for the FA Community Shield against Manchester United at Wembley last weekend.
Since then Michael Ballack has declared his commitment to the west London club following reports that he too could be heading to the Bernabéu. No official word on any offer for the Dutchman has been forthcoming from either of the teams involved.
However, in comments reported by Spanish daily AS, Robben made no secret of his desire to take on a fresh challenge, having joined Chelsea for £12m in 2004.
"Of course Madrid's interest makes me happy," he said. "But for now I cannot say much more because Chelsea will not let me tell you more until there is an agreement between the two clubs. It's better that they talk about it and solve this."
Robben, whose father and agent Hans has said negotiations were at a delicate stage, added: "It's in the hands of the two clubs. My father is in charge of it all. I would like to send a message to the Madrid fans, but I can't until my future is sorted."
Sevilla's Daniel Alves has called on his club to consider a reported offer for him from Chelsea. The Brazilian, who can play at full-back or as a midfielder, made it clear that he would move to Stamford Bridge if given the chance. Alves said: "I want to try. Out of respect to me they have to do it. I have behaved well over 4½years and I ask Sevilla to also behave well and evaluate an offer."

In 1951, Glen and Hazel Sigafoose started cutting balsa wood in the basement of their home in Montezuma, Iowa for model airplane enthusiasts in the heartland of America.
From these humble beginnings has grown one of the most widely respected manufacturers and suppliers of products for the model hobbyist in the world.
From our 80,000 square foot facility still located in Montezuma, SIG produces over 2,000 products ranging from injected molded accessories and parts to complete Build It Yourself airplane models, and just about everything in between.
SIG is a leading processor of balsa, spruce, maple, bass and plywood specially selected for the discriminating hobbyist. In our paint and fuel division, we manufacture high quality paints, glow fuels and other chemicals desired by our customers. Of course, we would not be SIG without our outstanding line of model aircraft in radio controlled, free flight and control line varieties. Many of our Build It Yourself (BIY) kits feature state-of-the-art laser cut parts for fast assembly and outstanding accuracy. SIG's Almost Ready to Fly (ARF) airplanes are produced overseas to our demanding design and quality standards.
In 2001, the Herr Engineering line of quality, 100% laser cut free flight and radio controlled model airplanes joined the Sig family of products.
In 2003, the Kavan line of fine models and accessories also joined the Sig family of products.
Sig products are marketed world-wide through our network of local hobby retailers. It is here where you will truly find your best value for your hobby dollar. We also recognize many modelers do not have a hobby dealer nearby, so you have the ability to order any of our products direct from Sig through this web site or via phone.
No matter how you obtain Sig products, you can rest assured that each and every item is top quality, designed to meet the needs of today's modeler. We are committed to providing the highest quality products with excellence in customers service.

Another Sherlock update...
This week I've been painting on Sherlock quite a lot, and you can see the results of that below. I've now finished a large amount of the black on him, and I've only got the upper half of the coat (and a little bit on the back) left to do. I'm really pleased with how the black areas look, they're basecoated in Abbadon Black, and then the highlights are made by adding the amount of Flayed One Flesh into the mix.
Sherlock Holmes update
Infamy Miniatures' Sherlock Holmes model is honestly one of the most difficult models I've ever painted. Since last time I've painted the coat trim, shirt and tie, and skin of the model, but not without a fair number of difficulties. Initially I painted the coat trim in brown and cream colours but it didn't look right, so I redid it in grey - for a total of around 5 attempts. The skin was also pretty difficult to get right, to the extent that I had to pick off all of the paint (which took over an hour) and try again... and then again. Still, I'm finally happy with what I've done so far.
Sherlock Holmes
My first model from Infamy Miniatures, Sherlock Holmes, arrived in the post the other day, so I thought I'd show you some progress on him. I've now assembled him and I've painted the base, which I'm really pleased with. I had a hard time deciding on which mechanical arms to use, but in the end I settled on the needle, claws and magnifying glasses, as you can see.
The Captain and the Ork
Again this week I haven't had much time to work on my models, but I have managed to get a little bit of painting done. As you can see, I've now basecoated the yellow armour on the Ork that I'm currently working one, I've decided to paint him as a Bad Moon because 1) I like the colour yellow, and 2) I could do with some practice at painting it.
The Captain
Recently I was introduced to Infamy Miniatures, a relatively small company but one which makes fantastically evocative steampunk models. As well as loving their version of Sherlock Holmes, I'm also rather taken with their upcoming Uncle John model, not as he is but as the basis for a conversion. So I made a mock up on Photoshop!
About me
My name is Chris Nelson, I'm a hobbyist. I started around eight years ago with Lord of the Rings as my first system, however I prefer painting to gaming.

Crowdsourcing can be defined as a strategy to outsource paid work that has been performed by regular
employees in the past. With Crowdsourcing, any individual or organization can accomplish this through a public request for participation on an Internet platform targeted at a crowd of — typically unknown — participants. The platform's operator has to guarantee this platform's operation and needs to ensure a balance of interests between employees and employers. In the first two-year phase of this project several different mechanisms have been developed to both reduce the time needed to process tasks as well as to enhance the quality of the task's results. Recommendation systems and means to determine an employee's level of trustworthiness have been designed independent of any specific scenarios. Other mechanisms are tailor-made for the selected fields of 'QoE Studies' and 'network measurements'. The mechanisms' design is based on several conducted analyses and models derived from these.
The goal of the second phase of this project remains to be the development and evaluation of novel mechanisms as well as to optimize the ability of Crowdsourcing to act as a novel way to organize work on the Internet. In order to achieve this, research on recommendation systems for Crowdsourcing shall continue in this project, as has been intended by the first proposal. One of the key research points will be the examination of selection criteria — specifically those related to the similarity of tasks — and an employer's preferences of these criteria. In the project's first phase such mechanisms have only been developed for so-called "Microtask-Markets" as well as very narrow use cases in those markets. Now, these mechanisms are to be extended to two additional use cases that have become increasingly important both in economic as well as social terms. These are: Mobile Crowdsourcing and Enterprise Crowdsourcing. Mobile Crowdsourcing requires the task to be completed on a mobile phone in order to record additional sensor readings such as the current location and other physical properties. And the term Enterprise Crowdsourcing subsumes all Crowdsourcing applications for businesses. Here, a single business acts as a provider of all tasks that are either fully or partially public, or limited to the company's own employees. The particular characteristics of these two use cases are to be investigated in this second project phase, and then incorporated into the modeling and design of such mechanisms. Through this
approach, the developed techniques will also be tested for their suitability in real world scenarios.
Funding: The project Crowdsourcing is funded by Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) in the subject area "Operating, Communication and Information Systems" since 2014. Research grant holders are Tobias Hoßfeld (University of Duisburg-Essen, Chair of Modeling of Adaptive Systems), Phuoc Tran-Gia (University of Würzburg, Chair of Communication Networks) , Ralf Steinmetz and Christoph Rensing (TU Darmstadt, Multimedia Communications Lab) under grants HO 4770/2-2, TR257/38-2, STE 866/9-2, RE 2593/3-2: "Design and Evaluation of new mechanisms for crowdsourcing as emerging paradigm for the organization of work in the Internet". The original German title of the project is "Design und Bewertung neuer Mechanismen für Crowdsourcing als neue Form der Arbeitsorganisation im Internet".

Some of our Services
* Please note individual results may vary. Results are not guaranteed.
Liposuction & Weight Management
Liposuction is a relatively safe and effective, minimally-invasive surgical procedure that definitively and effectively removes unwanted, excess body fat, which cannot be removed by diet or physical activity, from different sites on the body, thereby improving overall body contour*. Liposuction can be a part of Weight Management and Fat Transfer. Read more
Hair Restoration & Hair Transplants
Hair loss, no matter the kind, is a concern for men, women, and children. The surgical hair Transplant is one treatment available and can be a wonderful option for those who would like to regain the appearance of having a full, or fuller, head of hair*. For more info or to book an appointment, please contact us at CapeMAC.
Botulinum Toxin A (e.g. BOTOX®)
Botulinum toxin has the ability to reduce the activity of the muscles that cause those frown lines & other facial wrinkles that form as we age, thereby temporarily smoothing out the wrinkled effects of the skin*. It is a simple, superficial and almost painless injection administered by a trained Medical Doctor, into the area to be treated which then causes a temporary relaxation of the underlying muscles.
Early studies now indicate that Onabotulinum Toxin A not only induces temporary muscle paralysis to reduce skin wrinkles, but also stimulates increased skin elasticity and thickness – further adding to the wrinkle-reducing effects*.
Dermal Fillers
One amazing treatment available to help you look your very best! Dermal Fillers enhance your beautiful facial features by either highlighting them or by 'toning down' those lines and skin folds that inevitably appear with the progress of time*. Most popular Dermal Fillers are composed of a substance called Hyaluronic Acid. Read more
Chemical Skin Peels
A chemical skin peel is a medical procedure, the resurfacing of the skin, which involves the controlled application of certain chemical solutions to the skin in order to remove dead skin cells and stimulate the production of new cells, resulting in a younger, healthier appearance and smoother texture of the skin. Patients can feel their best again, while getting their skin tone, healthy glow and confidence back*. CapeMAC offers the Obagi Blue Peels® range, PCA skin peels, md:ceuticals peel range, Neostrata peel range. Go to peels.
Laser and Light based Skin Treatments
At CapeMAC, we utilise both IPL and LASER based equipment for specific treatments which have been shown to be effective in treating the different skin problems that present to medical aesthetic practices. Dr Manoj Bagwandeen will carry out a full assessment of your skin type and the extent of your skin-related problems and suggest which form of treatment will best facilitate the desired outcomes*.
Skin Micro-needling (DermaRoller) Procedures
Skin Micro-needling is a safe, convenient and highly effective procedure which naturally stimulates the body to increase collagen and elastin production in the treated skin area, thereby improving surface texture, tone and elasticity of skin*. The numerous microscopic channels caused by the tiny needles penetrate down to the various levels of the skin structure.
Varicose Vein / Spider Vein treatments (Sclerotherapy)
Spider veins are very small, abnormally dilated and superficial blood vessels which appear unsightly, but usually cause no physical problems. Occasionally they may cause some irritation, discomfort and itching. They are red/blue in colour, often look like tortuous worms and lie just under the dermis of the skin. Varicose veins are similar in nature, but are the larger and more prominent veins also seen just under the skin and especially in the lower parts of the body.

Okay, so for those of you who know me, my birthday was yesterday. Nothing like a birthday to remind you how old you are, even though you may feel 20 years older than that.
I finally got to do some things that I wanted to do yesterday. You have to understand that for approximately the past 10 years, my birthday has been completely trumped by Christmas holidays, New Year's holidays, and things that must get done on Christmas vacation for the kids. As a kid, it was fun having my birthday inbetween Xmas and New Year's, but as an adult, it sucks.
Every year I have spent my birthday doing things around the house that absolutely had to get done. It's been a running joke around here for the past 5 years that on my birthday, we're supposed to pick a new room in the house to paint…. Every year I have relatives and friends come and stay with me. Not always a bad thing, but sometimes you just need a break from all the hubbub. I haven't left the house for the past week and a half except to go grocery shopping. (This is what happens when your mother teaches you to be a good hostess…)
So I finally escaped with the kids yesterday to the park for about two hours. We took our kites and the boys' new remote control cars and headed to the local park that has a nice area just for that, next to the playground. Loads of fun. We would have stayed longer, but I got a phone call from the clan (several, actually) asking where this and that were, how off on temperature is the oven, etc. So I gave up and we headed back home.
I'll say this though, nothing like having relatives here that do actually remember your birthday. Two of the presents that I received was a new flash for my Canon 20D (I needed a second one for portrait work), and the other was a new 18-200mm lens with optical stabilizer. Talk about WOW! That one I wasn't expecting. Apparently several of them pitched in to get it since my birthday had been overlooked for the past two or three years. That's definitely one gift I will not forget and will definitely put to good use, unlike the 'candle-warming' set from Avon that someone else got me…..

Several of the Sly Black High Performance Players were eager to take a picture with fifteen year old Alicia "Tornado" Black and her US Open Junior Finalist Trophy. Alicia "Tornado" Black began training with her father Sly at the age of 2. Now she is #4 in the Girls ITF rankings!
Archive for January, 2014
Sly Black Players are Proud of US Open Finalist Alicia "Tornado" Black
Top Player From Mississippi!
We are very glad to have the hard working Juliette Finch at the Sly Black High Performance Program. She was a highly ranked player in Mississippi and multiple tournament winner prior to joining us in Florida. Juliette is training hard and soon she will be making her way up the national 12′s rankings.
Sylvester "Sly" Black and National Champions
South County Regional Park in Boca Raton, Florida is where you will find junior tennis stars such as coach Sly Black, Steven Sun(12′s Supernational Champion), and Hurricane "Tyra" Black (2x 12′s Supernational champion and the Jr. Orange Bowl International Champion)
Cori Gauff Wins the Southern Closed!
9 year old Cori Gauff is the best 9 year old in the world, but she was not expected to win the 12 and under Southern Closed which consists of the best 12 and unders from the following states: AR, LA, MS, AL, TN, KY, NC, SC, GA
What surprised Sly Black, Jeff Drock, and her father more? Cori winning every match at the event in straight sets or the 2 plates, 2 watches, and 3 trophies she earned from sweeping this event? Note: Some of Cori's opponents were twice her size!
Sly Black With Daughters Hurricane and Tornado
Tornado "Alicia" Black is proudly holding her U.S. Open Finalist trophy which helped propel her to #6 ITF. (world junior ranking)
Hurricane Tyra Black and Jeff Drock
Academy Strength and Conditioning Coach Jeff Drock began training with Hurricane "Tyra" Black when she was 9 years old.
Drock stated the following:
"I am extremely proud of how Tyra has developed as both a player and a person. She is respectful, intelligent, funny, works extremely hard, and everyone truly enjoys being around her. Of course her technical and physical skills are at an extremely high level, but her tennis IQ (intelligence) is what really sets her apart. Tyra truly deserves the title of world champion and she earned it."
"In the the finals and throughout the tournament the balls that Tyra was able to retrieve amazed everyone watching the match. Many of her opponents shots would have been winners against every other 12 year old in the world but those shots were neutralized by Tyra.

Despite being one of the most underfunded public pension plans for teachers in the country, the Kentucky Teachers' Retirement System boasted in a press release today of "superior investment performance," as the fund earned a return of 8.6 percent over a one-year period ending March 31.
KTRS claimed this rate of return placed it in the top 10 percent of public pension plans in the country with assets over $1 billion, faring similarly in the last three years and five years.
"The teachers' fund performance was strong in terms of total return and performing better than its market benchmark," said Gary Harbin, KTRS executive secretary. "I am particularly proud of KTRS's investment program because this performance also accounts for the challenging task of liquidating more than $570 million of investment assets during the year to meet current benefit payments."
The challenge Harbin referred to stems from the large and growing unfunded liability of KTRS. Due to a recent change in federal accounting standards, the unfunded liability of KTRS ballooned from $13.9 billion to $21.6 billion this year, and its funding ratio decreased from 52 percent to 45.6 percent — near the bottom nationally for teachers' pension plans.
KTRS officials have repeatedly stressed their liability problems are not due to poor investment strategy, rather a decade of underfunding by Frankfort. While the plan was over 80 percent funded a decade ago, multiple years of Frankfort kicking in less than what was actuarially required has depleted the plan, as well as that of the Kentucky Employee Retirement System for non-hazardous state workers, the worst-funded public pension plan in the country.
Others — such as Randy Wieck, a Louisville teacher who is suing KTRS — add the charge that KTRS has relied too much on high-risk alternative investments like hedge funds and private equity, and that they lack transparency on fees paid to investment managers.
KTRS lobbied heavily for a $3.3 billion bond to shore up their funds in this year's Kentucky General Assembly, and though such a bill passed the House, the Senate only passed it by stripping out all of the funding and requesting that the plan be studied further.
The question of whether KTRS needs more funding or more studying has spilled over into this year's race for state auditor, with Republican candidate Mike Harmon recently criticizing current auditor Adam Edelen for not doing a thorough audit of KTRS investments. Edelen responded by saying his office did the first-ever nine-month review of KTRS last year, which "revealed that the most significant contributor to the system's woes is a consistent lack of funding by the legislature, where Mike Harmon has served for more than a decade."
Harmon responded by saying that placement agents — shadowy investment middlemen hired by plans — used by KTRS need to be exposed, but Edelen's campaign manager said KTRS has never used them.
Edelen tells Insider Louisville that the KTRS announcement of strong investment returns proves that his interpretation of the issue is correct.
"This confirms what my office's audit of KTRS last winter found — that for a system the size of KTRS, it is well-managed and committed to investing resources effectively for its members and taxpayers," said Edelen in an emailed statement.
Harmon's campaign did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the new KTRS claims. Harmon was among those who voted against the $3.3 billion bond for the plan this year, saying it should be studied further.
***** Updated 1:05 p.m. *****
Campaign manager Jesse Benton sent IL the following statement from Harmon, responding to the investment return announcement by KTRS:
"It is fortunate that KTRS had a good rate of return last year. However, solid returns of 8 and 9 percent cannot fix this system, now. The simple fact is that KTRS still remains significantly underfunded, and we will not fulfill our promises to our teachers if we do not soon undertake major reforms. Even the actuary that KTRS hired indicated that the $7.88 billion increase in the unfunded liability from 2007 to 2013 had more to with ' Investment Returns Less Than Assumption' at 52.3 percent than 'State Appropriations Not Paid' at 9.3 percent. So, I will continue to call for us to 'Fix It' then 'Fund It' so we can assure our hard working teachers the pension they have been promised is there. It is disheartening to me that Adam Edelen doesn't want to be part of the solution."
***** Updated 2:00 p.m. *****
Edelen's campaign manager Will Carle sent IL the following statement responding to Harmon's charges, saying that the Republican challenger has his facts wrong on the funding dilemma of KTRS, while taking a swing at Benton, too.
"Another day, another set of misleading attacks by the Harmon campaign. First it was his call for an investigation into placement agents by the teachers retirement system, despite the fact that such agents have never been used. Today he complains about the performance of the system while refusing to acknowledge the impact of the global recession on the fund, as anyone with a 401k is well aware.
It's astounding that Mr. Harmon, who has been in the legislature for over a decade, is now pretending that he isn't part of the problem. Lack of full funding by the legislature is the primary culprit for this mess, which threatens to leave our hard-working teachers without a safety net. Just last session, when Adam and others were discussing ways to solve the crisis, Mr. Harmon was busy securing the services of a political operative under federal investigation for bribery.
Given Mr. Harmon's shady associations and record as the "do-nothing from Danville", it is little wonder that Kentucky's teachers so strongly endorse Adam's candidacy rather than his own."

Minnesota's only designated U.S. Bike Route runs through the Twin Cities Gateway communities of Anoka, Coon Rapids and Fridley. Minnesota's segment of the Mississippi River Trail Bikeway follows the river roughly 600 miles from its source at Itasca State Park to the Iowa border. Located largely on road shoulders, the route also includes segments of scenic state, regional and local trails. Minnesota's route, sometimes on both sides of the river, totals more than 800 miles. The on-road segments are suitable for experienced bicyclists comfortable sharing the road with traffic. There are some segments—mostly in the Twin Cities—where the on-road segments are on dedicated bike lanes.

University District area residents will soon open up their porches to the public.
Eighteen porch and sidewalk locations in the Glen Echo and South of Hudson neighborhoods north of campus will be open for viewing different kinds of art on Sunday.
The inaugural Neighborhood Porch Festival is hosted by Wild Goose Creative, a nonprofit arts organization located on Summit Street in SoHud.
Jessie Glover Boettcher, a board member of Wild Goose Creative and organizer of the festival, said she is looking forward to seeing what the members of the community have to share on their porches.
"The vibe that we're going for is very much a cross between a yard sale and trick-or-treating," she said. "So it's a very casual time to enjoy one another and enjoy art together."
Members of the community will be featuring art on their porches including music, film, pottery and poetry.
The festival will encompass a half-mile radius, with houses as far north as Cliffside Drive and as far south as Maynard Avenue.
A map of all of the houses participating in the event will be distributed around the festival.
Naomi Kennedy, a third-year in arts management and gallery intern at Wild Goose Creative, said she thinks students can benefit from connecting with their neighbors over art.
"I don't think a lot of students realize how vibrant the neighborhood surrounding Ohio State is," she said. "There's so much creativity and such a great sense of community once you break out of the Ohio State bubble."
Kennedy also said she is excited to see more of the creativity that she has already observed in the Glen Echo and SoHud neighborhoods.
"I remember one time I was walking down Summit Street and saw a man carving a wooden sculpture on his front porch, and I was so inspired," she said. "I love sculpture so I'm hoping to see some live sculpting."
Boettcher said the festival is a good opportunity for students who live in the area to meet some of the people who live nearby.
"It's a really casual kind of event, it's a very much meet-your-neighbors kind of situation," she said. "So it's a great way for students to meet their neighbors and to make some connections."
Community members who don't live in the Glen Echo or SoHud neighborhoods were still given the opportunity to participate by "borrowing" the porch of someone who does have a house in one of the neighborhoods to display their art.
A couple of former High Street businesses that have been relocated to the SoHud neighborhood due to High Street development will also be participating in the festival, including Evolved Body Art and Used Kids records. Boettcher said Used Kids will be hosting sidewalk musician performances and a sidewalk sale.
In the future, Boettcher said she hopes to hold the event again and make it bigger, with even more houses participating.
"I think a lot of people have creative things happening inside their houses, and it might feel like a little bit of a risk to put them out on their porch, but I'm hoping people will take the cues from their neighbors and put things out on the porch next year," she said.
The Neighborhood Porch Festival will be held on Sunday from noon to 4 p.m.
