APQP, which stands for Advanced Product Quality Planning, is widely used in several industries but primarily in the automotive industry.
The goal of APQP is to ensure that there is effective communication between:
- People within the manufacturing company
- The manufacturing company and the customer
APQP software establishes a system that is structured and allows for a standard communication process. This helps to eliminate breakdowns in communication between the different departments involved in manufacturing, and also in providing a procedural way for communication progress and issues with the customer, so that everyone can be on the same page.
Through the application of this software a company can prove four actions:
- they have evaluated risk
- they really are able to manufacture/produce the required part
- they know they can produce the part in the required quantities
- they have examined and are able to meet all the requirements of the customer
The Process of APQP Software Promotes Teamwork
As this software is being used in a company, it promotes teamwork. Without a system like this in place, many times each department is content to work independently from each other through the manufacturing process. Once their section of the process is complete, they pass it down the line and don't receive feedback until the end of the project. If they had been doing something wrong, or even inefficiently, they would not hear about it until time and resources have already been wasted. However, when APQP software is implemented, from the very beginning of the manufacturing process, it promotes the feeling of teamwork, as well as a quality increase in the overall product. Now, the different departments are constantly working together from the start of the project, because APQP software is able to simulate and evaluate the product. The departments can then take the simulated results and work to make the whole process better. The process problems are now being targeted before they are even a reality.
Through this software, manufacturers can define the product requirements before production, and communicate effectively with the customer.

We have heard from family and friends that we need to update our blog. We are on week 41 of our countdown calender and we are working hard on stacking up the freedom chips ($$$$$$) for our voyage. The Admiral has been working very long hours and started physical training boot camp to work on the "prepare self" part of our plan. The captain has a very long list of "handyman" projects to complete for clients. One of them was finishing the teak on a very nice sport fishing boat and then I picked up a client that has several rental properties. Next month we are both going to the Miami boat show. Don will be delivering a luxury Hanse sailing yacht to the show for a local broker and the Admiral will drive and join him for the show. Don will be sailing back from the show with our dear friend from Kansas City, Bill Smith. All we can say is we are very blessed as our plan is coming together very well. All that we have asked for has materialized so far. We certainly hope this is an ongoing trend!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We just received post cards from Mike and Hayley Mathes as they crossed into the Antarctic circle on an ice breaker. Hayley is Don's (unofficial) adopted baby sister and they live in Hawaii. We plan to visit them on our voyage. We will update a bit more often as we get on with the final scheduled renovations.
1. Solar
2. Wind
3. Support arch
4. White oak head liner
5. Hull insulatation
6. New digital depth monitor
7. New bottom paint
There will also be much to write about as we place our supplies and stores aboard for our voyage.
And we can assure you that there will also be more overdue updates!!!!!!

After our first three weeks in Paris and the conclusion of our first class, we were given a five day travel block before starting our second class. A group of us decided to go to Italy! I'd never been and had no idea what to expect, but I was more than pleased with the experience.
Our first stop in Italy was Rome. I took Roman Culture in the fall and was bored by it at the time, but thankful for it while wandering around Rome - I was able to see all the things I spent hours learning about. By far, I really enjoyed seeing the Colosseum. We were walking in the general direction of it and suddenly, there it was in plain view at the end of a side street. It was really neat to see something in person that you've always heard about, but never seen.
After exploring the Colosseum area, we found a place for lunch. The food in Italy is spectacular. I feel like I may have to stay away from Italian food for a while because there is no way it will compare to true Italian pasta or pizza. Speaking of which, the only dishes I ordered this weekend were pasta, pizza, and gelato for dessert.
Rome is also home to Vatican City, so we made sure to stop there. Unfortunately, the lines were extremely long, so we were unable to see the Sistine Chapel. We did get to see St. Peter's Basilica, which was incredible.
And, of course, we had to visit the famous Trevi Fountain. For fans of Disney Channel and its early 2000s movies, we all felt like we were in the Lizzie McGuire Movie when we were at the fountain. I attempted the classic tourist picture of throwing a coin over your shoulder, but I ended up looking like I was doing the flamenco each time. Whoops.
Rome was wonderful and I hope I'm able to return one day to explore further. After Rome, we took a train to Florence, but more on that later!

Firm switches from tape to centralized backups at its remote sites
Tired of lugging tapes off-site from its remote offices, Investors Real Estate Trust is switching from tape-based backups to centralized backups using Robobak's Data Protection Suite.
Seeking a cost-effective way to cut its reliance on tape backups at its remote offices, real estate firm Investors Real Estate Trust (IRET) is switching from Symantec Backup Exec to Robobak's Data Protection Suite.
IRET, a commercial and multi-family residential real estate firm with properties in 13 states, backs up around 500 GB per day, according to vice president of IT Brad Abel. The 80-person firm is switching over from a tape-based backup to centralizing its remote office backups at its Minot, N.D. headquarters.
Using Symantec's Backup Exec, IRET currently does daily backups and uses tape to store them off-site. "Every day we take those tapes to a bank," said IRET network administrator Josh Johnson. "The daily process for us is we have to actually travel to a bank to drop off those tapes and pick up the next day's tapes."
IRET will still use tape to back up data in the main office because regulations require it to keep records long term. But Robobak software allows the company to back up all of its data to a centralized server instead of dealing with tape at each location. Johnson and Abel said they looked at software from Symantec and others before settling on Robobak, mainly because Robobak had the features they required at a lower price. Pricing for Data Protection Suite starts at $10,000 per terabyte of protected data.
Robobak backs up data to the central office by placing agents on the servers in remote offices. The software deduplicates the data, "making backups as small as possible so there's not as much data going across the wire," Johnson said.
"One of the concerns I had is, because we run financial applications and a property management application in our central database, we needed a way to get that information to remote offices," Abel said. "How could we push a 500 Gb database through a very small pipe? The answer to that is, we can't. We needed some type of block-level backup we could push through the WAN and not choke us out on bandwidth."
Abel sees no slowdown in the rate his data will grow, especially if IRET goes ahead with plans to digitize paper documents, some of which are 38 years old.
"A lot of the information we store has to be original documents, and we have to keep any revisions or amendments to leases," he said. "We can have five or six revisions of a lease by the time it gets finalized. There seems to be more documentation in our business. Other businesses get an invoice and it's final, and they move on to the next transaction. With our business, you may change a document through its business lifecycle three or four times."

Congratulations Bolon for 70 years of sustainable design products!
It is Stockholm Design Week and I am going to the different design studios to discover what is new. At Bolon I discovered they are celebrating 70 years this year! The company was started in 1949 by Nils-Erik Eklund who incorporated sustainability from the very beginning - using textile waste to produce rag rugs and awnings for RVs and campers. Today the company focuses on floors and rugs, continuing with the sustainability and ethical practice. The new floor collection, Diversity, celebrates variety, commitment and inspiration. Carmencita Lundsten, who showed me around Bolon Lab shared with me that Armani stores use Bolon's floors. Way to go Bolon!

London Fashion Week SS19 – Mary Katrantzou
We absolutely love and admire Mary Katrantzou! After studying Architecture at Rhode Island School of Design (USA) and graduating with a BA in Textile design and an MA in Fashion from Central Saint Martins (London), the Greek designer established her own brand in 2008. Her amazing prints and craftsmanship landed her collaborations with Longchamp, Moncler, and Adidas Originals. For her SS19 collection at London Fashion Week, the designer is inspired by old school silhouettes, perfume bottles, jewelry and colouful patchwork.

Let's Pretend It Never Happened!
Stockholm Design Week is in full swing again and I am there ready to be amazed by all the new trends in furniture design! I was quite impressed by the skillful performance and presentation by the Portuguese furniture brand De La Espada! For their presentation the brand picked the intimate setting of a Stockholm home once owned by the manager of ABBA. I was personally greeted by the owner of the brand Luis de Oliveira and swooped into the performance by the talented actors Fernando Nobre and Vania Rovisco!
Image: De La Espada
Image: Ekaterina Larsson
I loved a few pieces at the performance - the Belle Reeve sofa by Luca Nichetto, where I sat and watched the play unfold. Also watched a few excerpts of movies that included a sofa, such as Pulp Fiction, The Royal Tannenbaums, and Stranger Things.
Image: De La Espada
Image: Ekaterina Larsson
I liked the Solo desk by Neri&Hu above, as well as this beautiful Elliot dining chair by Jason Miller, which shows Jason's elegant, historically rich work that has become his signature.
Image: De La Espada
The actors involved the public in the performance - I got to live chat with Fernando's "wife" and play musical chairs (and win!). Vania even played a bear skin rug at some point in the performance and brought smiles to our faces!
Image: Ekaterina Larsson
The performance ended in this Solo bed by Neri&Hu. The final scene, however, was not of love making but with a declaration of love for....memories.
Image: De La Espada
And the ending? "Let's pretend this never happened!" But if you do touch people emotionally they will always remember it!

Stylein AW2018 collection
Stockholm Fashion Week is in full swing and one of my favorites is Stylein, a Swedish brand founded by Elin Alemdar. The brand normally features very simple minimalistic style and the new collection is no exception.
Cobalt blue, camel, bright red and deep chocolate are some of the colours, and the palette has been inspired by the artist Josef Albers.The interesting additions were the accessories - muffs for the hands and fur collars wrapped around the neck. I loved the off the shoulder dresses, transparent pants and pleated materials! Check it out for yourself:

A Danish bracelet to rule them all
On a beautiful summer day I went, well, shopping. I was wondering around inside Nordiska Kompaniet in Stockholm and started chatting with a very charming gentlemen showing some Danish jewelry. I found out the jewelry was Dyrberg/Kern and the lovely gentleman was Henning Kern himself! He started the brand in Denmark together with Gitte Dyrberg in 1985 and decided to focus it exclusively on sterling silver pieces in 1990. In 2001 the duo received the King Frederik IX's Award for Excellence in Export! What an endorsement! I bought a lovely bracelet in pale blue and received as a present a leather jewelry box. My day was wonderful already! So, if you are in Denmark and hunting down for some exquisite Danish present - Dyberg/Kern jewelry is your best bet!

Is Finland closer to Japan? Marimekko's SS17 Home Collection
I have known Marimekko more as a clothing company from Finland but during Stockholm Design Week I got to know it as a home decor company as well. Carina Seth Andersson and Sami Ruotsalainen got together to create the new SS17 home collection. Carin was inspired by the climbing hydrangeas at her summer house, while Sami played with color dipping. Very clean and sophisticated lines! Reminds me of Japanese design and thinking. I sometimes wonder if Finland is closer to Japan in terms of design and mentality. What do you think?

Artek's new collection for Stockholm Design Week
Stockholm Fashion Week has barely ended and now I am off to Stockholm Design Week! So far I have had a few "Wow!" moments and one of them is Artek's presentation of their new collection designed by Daniel Rybakken, a young Norwegian designer. One is called Kiila, coat stands and coat racks for the hallway. The other one is 124°, wall mounted mirrors set at 124° to each other creating an unexpected dual-aspect reflection of the surrounding space. I loved playing around there, checking out the different reflections as the mirrors were turning around! For those of you who do not know - Artek is a Finnish company that has produced design pieces for more than 80 years. Enjoy!

New Year's Resolutions
Come January the gyms are full of people who are determined to lose weight, look better, feel better and be healthier. Come February - only 50% of these same people are still coming to the gym. So what goes wrong? I guess life just comes in the way. According to Statistic Brain only 9.2% of Americans achieve their NYR. But do not discourage! I believe you just have to decide on a realistic and achievable goal at any time during the year and just keep pursuing it! Hey, there are even apps now to help you keep your eyes on the prize! Plus I think it is also very important to choose the type of work out that you really, really enjoy. Be it biking or jogging to work, boxing, squash or some good old weightlifting. For me that pleasurable work out is yoga.
So as I am sitting on the beach of the Atlantic Ocean in Puerto de Mogan, Gran Canaria, I am enjoying every asana of the yoga I am doing. A yoga class I discovered towards the end of our stay here. I have enjoyed doing yoga for many years and sure, I would like to do it more often. I would love to even become a certified yoga instructor but I will need to do 100 hours of yoga before that. Will I make those hours this year? I will surely try! Check up with me in December 2017 again. And good luck with your New Year's resolution!

Parenting Resources & Support – Giveaway
Fortunately, God doesn't need to work with people who have it all figured out. He simply requires a willing heart, and faith in Him. As you already know, parenting is amazing and difficult. Enjoying it even on the craziest of days is not impossible.
As adults, we tackle big challenges in our careers, our finances, and our health. We build impressive things. Parents run businesses, and homeschool parents teach kids. We manage teams and conferences and estates and classrooms. But when it comes to parenting, we often feel surprisingly unsure whether we know what we're doing at all.
Parenting Resources and support
We love these kids of ours with a love so fierce and strong, and yet, half the time we shake our heads and wonder if we're getting it all wrong and why this parenting gig is so darn hard???

Guys, it's been a while. and I have to admit, in that while I didn't really workout. I won't give you a list of excuses because I have none. I made choices and of all of those choices working out was not one of them. I feel a little guilty but not horribly. I traveled, saw friends, family and had clean laundry!
Last night was supposed to be day 1 of back on the wagon but Minneapolis got it's first winter weather and it was nasty. I don't mind running in snow, but this was a weird sleet/slush mix that was suuupppeerrr slick and I enjoy not having a broken neck. So today I went to class after almost 1.5 weeks off fearing the worst, but it actually wasn't that bad. My shoulders are going to be feeling it tomorrow, but it definitely felt awesome to be getting back at it. On top of not working out it was also Thanksgiving and well…you know. Food, food and more food. All delicious though 🙂
I refuse to just say screw it though for the rest of the holidays. I plan on heading into 2014 in pretty darn good shape. It's easy to say "oh I'll just start January 1" but why not start now? I have some pretty big fitness goals in mind for 2014 and I can't start the year in the negative so to speak.
So here's to keeping it up for the last few weeks of the year! What are your fitness goals for 2014?

The answer to the question "how to find a life coach" is very personal, and depends only on you.
The process of coaching involves two individuals: the client and the coach, and as in any relation between to people, it changes depending on those people. There are menu coaches out there, and each has its own unique approach as to how the goals that were set should be achieved. Because of that, each coach-client relation is different and unique, and that is why the only one who can be sure who is the best life coach for him, is the client.
With that being said, there are several considerations you need to think about before choosing the best life coach for you:
The type of coach you are looking for
There are many types of life coaches. There are career coaches, relationships coaches, leadership coaches, executive coaches, teen coaches and the list goes on.
It is important that before you pick you life coach, you understand what is the field you want to improve in your life. Do you have problems finding a job? Then the career coach is for you. Are not fulfilled in your relationships? You might need a coach that specializes in relationships. The area that you would like to see improvements will determine the type of coach you would want to meet.
Will the coach be local or online
There are many coaches around the globe. Most of them work with global clients. This means that the coaching sessions can be done through phone or the internet. Usually, it is preferable to do this session over the phone, as the internet is unpredictable, and it can very interfering to have a coaching session that keeps hanging up. An online coaching has the benefits of tapping into coaches that you might have never have gotten access to, on a local scale
Will the coach be certified or not
The regulation of the coaching profession is very scarce. Actually, everyone can call himself a life coach, even you. There are many educational programs and training courses, each focusing on different fields and emphasizes different things. There are many schools, programs and credentialing organizations that certify coaches. The most reputable and widely known is the ICF, which pretty much set the standards of the profession in current times. It's not obligatory that the coach is certified. A great coach could have no training at all, while a lousy coach might have credentials from several different institutions. It all comes down to the way you see the results manifest in your life and your connection with the coach.
After you made your decision with respect to the fields above, you might want to check our hiring tips page, to understand what to look for when hiring a coach
If you feel that you still have some question on how to deciding which type of coach is best for you, please contact me at ido@findingacoach and I would be happy to help.

"Happiness is to know the Savior"
1 Timothy 6:6-19
Happiness is seeing you all today as we come together to thank God for the enumerable blessings we received.
The great Dalai Lama said, "Happiness is to have peace of mind and to find true friendship" The great Aristotle said, "Happiness depends on the cultivation of virtue"
This nation was founded in the proposition to pursue our happiness.
"Happiness is not having what you want, but wanting what you have." (Rabbi Schachtel) This statement is deep but filled with truth because we may have everything already but we are still not happy. We are only good in gathering what we want but forget to use them for good reasons. In other words we hoard our wealth thinking we can take them with us to the grave.
Many people in the industrialized nations, have never in history had more things. And we have the spare time to ponder and pursue happiness. Yet so many get the relationship all wrong. They still think that happiness or fulfillment can come from the accumulation of things. So we amass the wealth of the world in the expense of the poor and those without voices.
In the reading of the first letter of Paul to Timothy, Paul warns the young Timothy about this spiritual pitfall and outlines the proper relationship between fulfillment and possessions. Basically he says that it is the love of things that leads to trouble. So instead of seeking riches they and we should seek the virtues of righteousness, godliness, faith, love, endurance, and gentleness.
In his letter, Paul did not suggest that money is evil. He says the love of money leads to evil. And Paul also advises those who are rich not to trust in their riches. But rather put their trust in God who richly provides. In fact Paul said,"we brought nothing into the world, so that we can take nothing out of it." I am sure you have all heard that you can't take it with you. And there is a good reason for that. But most people don't see the reason. There are those who still hoard their wealth under their beds or pillows only to lose them when they died suddenly or when fire strikes their homes.
The story goes that there was a rich man who was faithful. And he didn't really understand why he couldn't take it with him. So he prayed and he said, "Lord, you have blessed me with so much. Why can't I take just some of it to heaven with me since it was a gift from you." God replied, "Just to teach you a lesson I will let you take one suitcase of your earthly possessions to heaven." The man thought and then he packed one suitcase and left it in a special place so that he could grab it after he died and take to heaven. He got to heaven with his suitcase and St. Peter looked in the book and said, "Here's your name you can go in but you can't take that with you haven't you ever heard you can't take it with you?" So the man explained and St Peter nodded and said "OK. But can I ask a favor? Can I just see what you brought." The man opened the suitcase and it was full of solid gold bricks. Peter laughed and said, "So why did you bring pavement?"
God has given us all possibilities in this world, even eternal life. What more can we ask?
True happiness is found in acknowledging that God has already given us all we need. But Paul goes on to warn that the love of earthly wealth leads to trouble. It is not wealth itself that is evil. It is the love of it that leads to evil. Out of love for wealth people do things that lead to evil.
You see, what God has created good, most people have it all backward. They love things and use people. The things on this earth were put here by God for us to use not to love. And the people were put here for us to love not to use. So we should love people and use things.
To use people and love things is an alteration of God's plan. It puts things backwards. We were not made for that. We were made to love God and our neighbor. To do otherwise will lead to destruction and pain.
Paul tells us to seek after the virtues which go along with serving God. We should strive for "righteousness, godliness, faith, love, endurance, gentleness." We should value faith and take hold of eternal life. In the end that is what endures.
You can't take money and gold to heaven. But at the same time it is not those things that bring meaning to this life. Knowing who you are and finding peace: those kinds of things bring happiness. Loving your neighbor and serving God bring you Joy whether you have money in the bank or not. Our feeding the shelter program started with sharing our few resources in our love to serve those who are without on things we enjoy such a food and happiness.Such program grew because we shared them to those who have the means to share their resources to us such as St. Mary the Virgin of San Francisco. They have the money, we have the people to serve. Our common denominator is Love. Our health wellness gained recognition from the Diocese when we shared our resources of Medical professional volunteers who are happy to serve the low income and uninsured members of the community.
Our fellowship time together brought us all to Develop deep relationships with each other, our family and friends in the spirit of happiness.
Jesus may have all the wealth he needed. He was rich beyond earthly standard but he gave up the glories of heaven. He found completion and fulfillment in following his Heavenly Father's will and giving of himself to save us.
It all comes down to one question: What are we living for? Why do you get up in the morning? Why do we go to work or school or wherever it is that we go? Do you go to school so that you make more money when you get out? Do you work each day so that you can make more money?
Or do you get out of bed and do those other things so that you can love God and your neighbor. Do you go about your daily activities with the idea that you are seeking to live righteously. Do you value the people you meet and not the things you acquire.
Paul said, "There is great gain in godliness combined with contentment." You may not get rich serving the Lord. Then again you might! In the end it doesn't really matter. But through a godliness of life that is content with what God has provided there is great gain. Through faith we can know the gift not only of life after death but of peace and joy in this world.
On Sunday school, I learned this song, "Happiness is the Lord" let me sing it for you:
Happiness is to know the Savior
Living a life within His favor,
Having a change in my behavior
Happiness is the Lord
Real joy is mine
No matter if teardrops start,
I've found the secret —
It's Jesus in my heart!
Happiness is to be forgiven
Living the life that worth the living
Taking a trip that leads to heaven
Happiness is the Lord, Happiness is the Lord.
Happiness is all around us, if we only look.
May the Love of God lead us all to happiness. Amen.

Canine Influenza Outbreak
Here is the latest information regarding canine influenza and the recent outbreak:
Since March 14, 2015, there have been thousands of Chicago area dogs who have become sickened with respiratory disease. At first, we thought we were just dealing with CIRDC (Canine Infectious Respiratory Disease Complex, what many refer to as "Kennel Cough"). Then, after cultures showed that many of these dogs had Influenza A, we thought we were dealing with a subtype of influenza called H3N8 that has not been seen in the USA since 2004.
On April 12, 2015, Cornell University issued a press release that states that the ongoing canine influenza in the Chicago area is due to the H3N2 subtype of canine influenza, not the H3N8. This is the first identification of the H3N2 subtype outside of Asia.
At this point, it is unclear how the virus first arrived in Chicagoland. There seem to be "hot zones" of infection, and the highly contagious nature of the disease caused infection to spread from there. Dogs at greatest risk include those who spend time among large groups of other dogs: doggie daycare; pet stores; groomers; kennels; shelters; rescue groups; adoption centers; etc.. While some cats in Asia have become infected, they may or may not have been immunocompromised when exposed.
What we know is this:
If your dog is at-risk for canine influenza, we have the vaccine available to protect against the H3N2 strain (the new and recent strain causing the outbreak). Please call us to set up the first booster; the final dose would be given 3-4 weeks later. This vaccine is required to board at River Forest Animal Hospital.

Here Be Draugens
While aesthetically striking, the short and ultimately lackluster gameplay of 'Draugen' falls into the category of games worth playing once (or thereabouts).
Colors, commentary, and confetti
Half live music, half film screening, with bouts of audience interaction and Q&A throughout, this was the most oddly formatted music event we've ever attended.
Walking in weary shoes
Through its surrealism and hyperrealism, Anamorphine redefines the emotional capacity of the video game. Walking in the main character's shoes, players confronts fear, loss, and heartbreak in a narrative steeped in feeling and the realities of human life.
Characterizing ancient materials for the modern day
Part of the Masic Group's current work focuses on analyzing ancient structural materials, hoping to draw inspiration from ancient materials as well as biological ones to inform the production of new materials.
"Born in Boston"
Since its first festival in May 2013, Boston Calling is well on its way to becoming a regular fixture in the lives of Bostonian music fans.
Everybody's got the right to be morbid
Framed as a macabre carnival game, Assassins delves into the stories of men and women who attempted to assassinate presidents of the United States.
If you ever need help procrastinating
If you are a frequent reader of the comics section of The Tech, you'll be familiar with Piled Higher and Deeper, the home of the chocolate-loving Cecilia, the consistently unproductive Mike Slackenerny, and our lovable, flawed, and forever lost-in-purpose Nameless Hero. These slice-of-life comics portray the unfortunate (for them) but hilarious (for us) day-to-day struggles of graduate students. A live-action film adapted from Jorge Cham's PhD Comics, The PhD Movie 2 follows the paths of Winston, the Nameless Hero who is finally graced with a name, and Cecilia.
Electronic lyricism
I jump late onto most bandwagons — many of my favorite artists are inactive, and for a year or two, Metric belonged to that unfortunate club. Their unique blend of electronic and traditional rock instruments, as well as their profound and relatable lyrics, captivated me. Old World Underground, Where Are You Now? (2003) was one of the first albums I listened to in its entirety, and I was surprised to find that I loved every single track. Since the group seemed to have disappeared, I was stuck cycling between the same few albums. My musical limbo ended Sept. 18, 2015, with the release of Pagans in Vegas.
Video and board game fans flood athletic center in celebration of indie games
The 4th annual Boston Festival of Indie Games (FIG) took place this past Saturday at the MIT Johnson Athletic Center, where more than 100 independent game developers, studios, artists, and animators gathered to showcase their work. The celebration attracted thousands of visitors who ranged from casual gaming enthusiasts to video game scholars.

Conceived on a Welsh beach in 1947, via a drawing in the sand, the Land Rover brand that you know today was born with a sense of purpose. The man that would be Rover's Technical Director, Maurice Wilks, and his brother Spencer Wilks, Rover's Managing Director, saw a gap in the market while utilizing a Jeep on their farm. They put their heads together and the development of the Land Rover commenced. Only a year later, the first Land Rover was launched at the Amsterdam Motor Show and was an instant success. The rest, as they say, is history. Land Rover has grown from that sketch on a beach to a global brand selling hundreds of thousands of vehicles.
The Land Rover is never afraid to get its wheels dirty. Ready to pull its weight and everyone else's, the Land Rover has raised a line of models to be proud of. These vehicles are designed to serve. Land Rover Roanoke in Roanoke, VA, offers an impressive lineup of Certified Pre-Owned Land Rover models that are high-quality and competitively priced, including the LR4, Range Rover and Range Rover Sport.

Published at Sunday, July 28th, 2019 - 12:14:09 PM. Wedding Venue. By Adalheid Meyer.
Large wedding venues sometimes offer set packages, which include a single price per head for their meal, wine, toast drink and evening buffet. All venues should provide you with a price list before you book anything, check if there is a cost for hiring the venue, on top of the consumables. Some venues charge less for Sunday – Thursday weddings, whilst Fridays and Saturdays are more popular wedding days and may cost more.
Online Wedding Venue Directories. You should also enquire about menu, special diets, chocolates, audio and visual effects and other associated services at the same time. However, it is good to find the exact venues from the online wedding venue directories. These directories offer you the exact and the most desired venues as per the location preferences. If you are residing in Australia, then you can easily find the most convenient and beautiful wedding venues in Queensland, Sydney, Gold Coast, etc. In fact, you can see multiple venue options, compare prices, and look for other wedding planning accessories as per your needs.

St. Theresa's College, Cebu, is a Catholic institution of learning founded by the Missionary Sisters of the Immaculate Heart of Mary (ICM) on June 1, 1933 upon the expressed invitation of Msgr. Gabriel Reyes, then Archbishop of Cebu. It offers all levels of instruction for girls from preparatory to college. The missionary spirit of the Foundress, Mother Marie Louise de Meester, permeates the whole program of education of the institution. This spirit is characterized by a sincere love of God, loyalty to the Church, a great respect for the dignity of man and a genuine personal concern and involvement in the lives of people, especially the poor, the deprived, and the oppressed. The institution first operated in Sikatuna Street, Cebu City while adequate school buildings were being erected on the present site, bounded by General Maxilom Avenue, Juana Osmeña St., Redemptorist Road and Ramon Aboitiz Street.
In 1935, the first years of the Liberal Arts, education and Commerce courses were added to the elementary and secondary levels. Gradually, the three courses were completed and fully recognized by the Bureau of Education in 1940. In1957, St. Theresa's College Cebu City became a Charter Member of the Philippine Accrediting Association of Schools, Colleges and Universities (PAASCU) and has satisfactorily maintained its accredited status.
Teresa de Avila, the first woman doctor of the Church, is the patron saint of St. Theresa's College. Her life and writings are eloquent proofs of the courage, wisdom and virtue which the institution desires to achieve in her students.
The official seal of St. Theresa's College is a round white shield dominated by the Latin cross, the base which spreads out like two wings encompassing its whole width. The cross stands for the Catholic Church whose doctrines, ideals, and principles permeate the school educational program of the Institution. The three stars stand for the three theological virtues: faith, hope, and charity. The inscription around the shield "VIRTUTE, SCIENTIA, ARTIBUS FLOREAT", expresses the wish that under the aegis of Catholic education, virtue, science, and art may flourish in St. Theresa's College. The college colors- blue and gold- stand for courage and love respectively.

March 6, 1992, Section D, Page 1Buy Reprints
John B. Neff believes in buying stocks cheap, and he doesn't believe in diversification.
Mr. Neff's Windsor Fund is one of the largest equity mutual funds in the country, so he often ends up holding large positions in stocks that most people on Wall Street hate, or at best have given up on.
Those holdings enable him to get the attention of management. While he is a soft-spoken man who does not have a reputation for throwing his weight around, he is not shy about offering opinions.
"We've been a little on the vocal side," Mr. Neff said in a telephone interview yesterday. Suggestion for Chrysler
Mr. Neff is now gaining attention because he has suggested that the Chrysler Corporation should move quickly to anoint Robert A. Lutz, the president, as successor to its chairman, Lee A. Iacocca, who is 67 years old. "It seems so obvious," Mr. Neff said, adding that he saw no reason to delay and "put the organization through this trauma."
Mr. Neff's funds, the $8.3 billion Windsor Fund and the $300 million Gemini II closed-end fund, own more of Chrysler than any other shareholder.
In the recent past, he has also been critical of Citicorp, of which his funds are the second-largest shareholder. He was infuriated when the company reduced and then eliminated its dividend.
"Obviously, in retrospect, I was wrong," he said yesterday, explaining that it turned out that Citicorp's loan problems meant the company did need to retain the money that could have been paid out in dividends.
But he said the company's basic earnings power had not been impaired, and voiced confidence that profits would return after reserves for bad loans were raised far enough. "We're just stubborn enough to hang in," he said.
Mr. Neff, 60 years old, started running the Windsor Fund for the Wellington Management Company in mid-1964, when the fund had $75 million in assets. In the nearly three decades since, the fund has generally outperformed the market, but there have been long stretches -- in 1989 and 1990, for instance -- when the stock market was not friendly to Mr. Neff's kind of stocks, usually ones with low price-earnings ratios.
But the Windsor Fund bounced back last year, and so far this year is running comfortably ahead of the market. Through Wednesday, Windsor is up 6.8 percent, while the Standard & Poor's 500-stock index has dropped 1.4 percent since the end of last year.
Over all, Windsor has shown an annual average return of 13.7 percent since Mr. Neff took over, compared with 10.3 percent for the S.& P. 500. A difference of 3.4 percentage points a year may not sound like much, but the magic of compounding can work wonders. An investment of $100 in the S.& P. 500 on June 30, 1964, would have been worth $1,493 at the end of last month. A similar investment in the Windsor Fund would have risen to $3,468.
That performance no doubt would have made Windsor Fund even larger, but for the fact that it has been closed to new investors for most of the last seven years, except for a brief period in early 1989. Still, investors can buy shares in the Gemini II closed-end fund, which trade on the New York Stock Exchange.
"He's a very astute investor and a good money manager," said Peter Lynch, the former manager of the Fidelity Magellan Fund, the nation's largest stock fund. "He has a high degree of persistence and an incredible tolerance for pain, which is very important in this business. He has been able to ride out the Citicorp thing and the Chrysler thing."
While Mr. Neff once had large positions in Detroit's two other auto companies, he began selling General Motors stock in 1989 and got out completely early last year, when he also sold his Ford stock, a holding that dated to the mid-1980's. Mr. Neff has stuck to Chrysler because he believes it is the American auto company whose return to profitability is the clearest. He points to its successful mini-van and Jeep Cherokee, and to a coming midsize car.
Many money managers disagree, but as Mr. Neff noted, "We often end up bucking conventional wisdom." He says the bond rating agencies overreacted in downgrading Chrysler.
Mr. Neff has arranged for his succession at his fund, although he has no idea when he will retire. Charles T. Freeman, who joined the fund in 1969, will be the man.
Those running large stock funds can risk becoming "closet indexers," buying so many stocks that they end up basically matching the entire market without intending to do so. For better or worse, that will not happen to Mr. Neff. His fund's 10 largest holdings make up 39 percent of the portfolio, he said yesterday, adding that his funds did not own any of the 50 companies with the largest market capitalization.
What it does own are financial stocks, banks and insurance companies that have been suspect to many investors, as well as cyclical stocks that everyone gave up on until they recently began to rise as investors collectively bet on the economic recovery.
The fund has recently started to move back into the downtrodden energy sector, taking a large position in Burlington Resources, a leading natural gas producer. "Gas prices have plummeted, but stick around," he said. "They will go the other way."
When the stock market was weak last fall, Mr. Neff said yesterday, he spent $440 million, most of it to buy UAL and aluminum stocks. Alcoa is the fund's third-largest holding.
The Windsor Fund's revival last year -- when it rose 29 percent even though Mr. Neff's kind of stocks were hardly the market leaders -- reflected a venturing outside of stocks. It made money in junk-bond issues, including Chrysler's, and it traded in and out of intermediate-term Treasury bonds. "That sounds like kissing your sister," he said of the Treasuries, but he noted that the gains were substantial.
At the moment, Mr. Neff said, the fund is 80 percent in stocks, 3.5 percent in Government bonds and 16.5 percent in cash. That is an unusually high cash position, and it reflects the fact that Mr. Neff finds a lot of stocks far too expensive. Or, as he put it, "the market has created low P-E opportunities more sparingly."
It may be worth noting that each of the three previous times that Mr. Neff has raised cash to these levels -- in 1970, 1983 and 1987 -- has been followed by market drops that enabled the money to be invested at lower prices. "I wouldn't be surprised to see a 15 to 20 percent correction," he said.
In the meantime, most of the money that Mr. Neff is spending is going into Government bonds and natural gas stocks. Of the bond market, he noted, it seems as if everybody loved bonds after they rallied and now hates them after prices have fallen in recent weeks.
"The bond market is worse than the stock market for prognostication, and for momentum investing," he said, making it clear that was very bad indeed. "Patience is a virtue in a lot of human activity."

Knights of the Golden Circle treasure maps Part 3
Knights of the Golden Circle treasure maps reveal signs that are a combination of different styles of recorded information. As far as the actual handwritten maps, very few treasure hunters have ever even seen an actual Knights of the Golden Circle Treasure Map. I have seen, read and decoded several of these KGC treasure maps and find them highly intricate, most unusual and very interesting.
The material that Knights of the Golden Circle Treasure Maps are drawn on varies but most likely is either leather or civil war uniforms (rebel uniforms of course). In one case the map was made from the side of the rebel uniform and included the seam. Surprise, the seam was a symbol on the map although it was in no way highlighted. It had been cleverly designed around the seam as though it were not a part of that map. In truth, it was the direction to the treasure.
Knights of the Golden Circle Treasure Maps were hand drawn maps, that may include simple, childlike drawing of mountains, trees, hoot owl trees, trails, figures, or perhaps one of a series of maps may include a coded description of everything that is hidden. When I say childlike, they are simple line drawings, sometimes called stick drawings that are never complex in style. Many times there is a series of maps for a single area, particularly when there is a repository. I have seen these maps written in Spanish, which easily allows for decoys, reversals and even complete information to show it was previously Spanish.) Remember, the KGC used the Spanish treasure sites (hidden caches of the Spanish, that were hid in anticipation of the impending Indian uprising, and were never found when another generation of Spaniards returned years later) and altered them. They also altered the Spanish with secret codes to show what part of the written information was false. These professional treasure hiders sometimes divided the Spanish treasure and re-hid it in multiple locations sometimes left it in place and altered the Spanish signs. Perhaps you have chased a Spanish treasure to a dead end? Perhaps you were hood-winked by the Knights of the Golden Circle Treasure Maps, that either altered signs or relocated the deposit.
If you believe you have found a Knights of the Golden Circle Treasure Map or KGC treasure site, it is very helpful in cracking the code to see all the physical signs, symbols, rocks or maps before they are moved, altered or destroyed. TAKE lots of pictures, leave everything as you found it and seek professional help. Call UDI for decoding and suggest ways to circumvent the death traps for safe recovery.

Sawan Dutta
Sawan Dutta is a composer, music producer, songwriter, vocalist and vlogger. Her song vlogs, Metronome, featuring the typical tastes, culture and practices of Bengal is full of wit and humour, and they have taken the digital world by storm not only invoking nostalgia within the Bengalis but also entertaining masses across all communities. Simple lyrics and uncomplicated music is the charm of Sawan's vlogs which is neither derogatory nor sarcastic, but they beautifully remind those little choices, customs, philosophy and lifestyle, which a Bengali is known for and can be identified with.
#TellMeYourStory spoke to Sawan Dutta about her vision and understanding of entertainment, as an individual and as an artist.
Interview Excerpts
Almost all of your song vlogs connect with cultural aspects of Bengal. How did this idea of recreating nostalgia come to you?
Only 14 of my 22 songs feature Bengali Aunty – the rest of them are all fairly global topics, ranging from the use of Autotune in the music industry, to Hitler, to the Versova Beach clean-up, to Vienna, Singapore and its street musicians, the Dachau Concentration Camp and Demonetization.
When I started the song blog, it was primarily meant to be like a personal journey through songs – of whatever I experienced in my life, around me. There was no aim or intention of recreating nostalgia or dwelling on Bengali cultural aspects at all. The Ode to Boroline started it all, with a massive influx of audiences who wanted more of Bengali Aunty and her activities. So it's been a slow organic decision to do more and more with that character, to explore what all she can do which can be featured on my vlogs. It's been a purely analytics based decision – to try and give my audiences more of what they want – since I owe the tremendous success of the song blog entirely to my audience.
There is – or ought to be – a personal history that EVERY musician has with that word. A Metronome is a device that helps musicians keep time, to play on time, to record on time. It's a part of every musician and audio professional's life. It's used for practising and for recordings in studios. It's meant to denote regularity, periodicity, and dependability.
Thank you.
Well, I really wouldn't know where to start. My Song Blog has been peppered with many funny stories. It begins with the very first Vlog post where I decided to shoot with a donkey who wants to become a singing star. And I guess the funniest incidents were all around the shooting of Amsterdam Girl, where I went around Amsterdam and its most notorious "coffee shops" in my monkey cap, glasses and big bindi, scaring and alarming people who were not used to seeing someone dressed like that. One coffee shop actually denied me entry and started asking for my passport. I had to come back looking like a regular person the next day, with my Bengali Aunty costume hidden in my rucksack, and change into it right inside the coffee shop.
I'm actually neither. What I am, is a musician who sometimes writes about food and cooking, along with other subjects.
I'm too much of a health and fitness freak to ever be a serious foodie. I don't live to eat, I eat to live. So I'm way more likely to spend hours in my studio getting the nuances of my music right, and eat whatever my cook makes, than spend time in my kitchen cooking. I do cook once in a while, as a stress buster. But I like keeping it simple, healthy and hassle free. I'm also the kind of person who'd rather catch up with friends over a hike or a trek or a brisk walk, than over heavy meals or eating binges.
I have so many. But most of my nicest memories revolve around nature and quietness. Like driving with my husband in our gypsy, from Delhi to Leh, Lahaul, Spiti, all over the Himalayas, through those majestic mountain ranges. Getting stuck in a swelling stream near Baralacha Pass, and having to get rescued by an army Shaktiman truck. My first glimpse of the underwater world. The magic of Fall in Vondelpark, Amsterdam. Hiking through the Austrian Alps. Walks through the green paddy fields in my husband's home town in Kerala. Listening to the rain falling on the tiled roofs of our 200 year old ancestral house in Kerala and watching an army of peacocks marching through our ground. Camping trips with my parents deep inside the forests of Madhya Pradesh, with no electricity or people for miles around. Bathing in the Narmada flowing swiftly through the forest. Staying with my grandmother at the Viceregal Lodge in Shimla where she was doing her fellowship, and imagining the place full of ghosts from the past.
Who has been the earliest storyteller for you? Do you think the stories you may have heard as a child has their influence in the storytelling you do today?
My Bapi, definitely. He used to make up original stories about this brother and sister duo and their adventures, as bedtime stories for us. Although my Ma is a Children's Writer and much published author – so it could have been her too. I've never thought about it consciously but I'm sure it's genetically ingrained in me somewhere.
If you mean the journey since I started The Metronome – it's been very exciting of course. It's thrilling to be at the beginning of a new trend and to be doing something that not everyone else is doing, to know that mine is possibly the first and only Recipe Song collection in the world as of now. To have some really cool brands and products wanting to come on board as brand partners on my blogs, and to create content that is mutually beneficial. All of it is super exciting.
As for the journey BEFORE the song blog – all of it – the film, TV, ad, soundtrack, album work provided me with invaluable experience which forms the basis for the work that I do at my song blog.
Please tell us about the team you work with, the collaborations that had worked for you, and everything else we must know.
At The Metronome, we are a core team of two – my husband C. B. Arun Kumar and me. We do everything between the two of us. CB's a filmmaker, national award winning animator, international award winning VR photographer and is the academic director of FX school, one of India's premier Digital Media academies.
On certain projects I collaborate with musician friends – like in "A Song For My Friends" – my last year's Year End blog post – I created the song and video with three of my musician friends – Liza, Hrishi and Ayan. In the "Ode to Calcutta" blog post also, I had Ganesh Dutta playing the violin and Hrishi Giridhar playing the guitar. "Harmonica Man" – the post itself was about an eighty something year old street musician I came across in Singapore – so there's him playing in half the song. Similarly, "Hitler's Haunts" and "Vienna" have street musicians playing in them.
But the core team in all my posts remains CB and me.
I did not! You do not pick your interest in music! Music picks you!!! Or doesn't.
What kind of music was introduced to you as a child, who were your teachers and how has been your journey as a music lover and music professional?
My grandfather gave me a wonderful gift at the age of three – a mini harmonium with multi-coloured keys. On it I learnt to play my first tunes from memory, by co-relating notes to colours. As an early teenager I discovered my mum's hawaiian guitar and got proficient enough on it to audition at the All India Radio and get myself recruited as a regular paid live performer. My performance fee, each time I was summoned for a broadcast, was roughly equal to my NTSE monthly scholarship stipend in school!
With the School of Planning and Architecture came my college rock band, "The Architypes." I joined as keyboardist, discovered a world of rock and metal and the joys of belting out the soprano screams in Deep Purple's Child in Time! Then followed an invitation to join the newly formed band, "Indian Ocean", now considered one of the pioneers of fusion rock in India, as a keyboardist.
A few gigs later I was faced with the choice of dropping out of architecture school, packing my bags, leaving with Indian Ocean to record their first album in Calcutta, or finishing my final year thesis and graduating as an architect. I opted for the latter.
I eventually studied operatic vocal performance under India's best known soprano, Situ Singh Buehler, and with Korean tenor Mr. Hur Chull Young. I also studied the piano under Mr. John Raphael, a brilliant jazz pianist.
I owe my proficiency in sequencing and programming and my knowledge of the science and the technical aspects of sound and audio to my partner CB, a genius, polymath and tech wiz, the solid rock in my life, my work, my music.
The definition of entertainment has changed spectacularly in the last decade. Every day is about doing something new, something different. Since you have beautifully created your brand, what is your vision forward as a performing artist?
I don't really operate with too much of a future plan. I roll with the game. I do things I feel good about doing. I analyse audience response, and decide what the next step should be. So my vision at any point of time is unlikely to extend beyond the next blog post or two. The world, the nature of entertainment, the platforms available to us and how they work – everything is in a state of flux and changing constantly, so it's best to stay adaptable and flexible and within one's personal comfort zone at the same time. I think we're headed for exciting times! I'd like to believe that the future will belong to the intelligent and the mentally flexible, and to multitaskers who are willing to learn any number of new skills and adapt rapidly.
