Researcher associated with Laurier centre wins Health Research prize for work on Parkinsons and driving
Communications, Public Affairs & Marketing
Jan 14/14
Alex Crizzle won the Canadian Institutes for Health Research (CIHR) Institute for Aging Age+ Prize for the doctoral research on Parkinsons disease he conducted at Lauriers Sun Life Financial Movement Disorders Research & Rehabilitation Centre (MDRC). The prize recognizes excellence in research on aging by graduate and postdoctoral students and clinical residents from all disciplines.
As the MDRC grows, we are able to provide and centralize resources for ground-breaking studies that help Canadians with Parkinsons disease across the world, said Quincy Almeida, director of the MDRC.
For his winning study, titled Self-regulatory practices of drivers with Parkinson's disease: accuracy of patient reports, Crizzle examined many factors related to driving with patients from the MDRC. His assessments included depression, cognitive function, vision, brake reaction and response times, and driving behaviours via satellite tracking.
The project was time consuming and required the efforts of many people, including Dr. Almeida, staff and students at the MDRC, said Crizzle. Without the MDRC, this project would not have been possible. To be recognized is a testament of all of our efforts.
Crizzles work was published in Parkinsonism and Related Disorders and the prestigious Journal of Neurology. His research was completed in collaboration with Laurier, the University of Waterloos School of Public Health, the Schlegel-UW Research Institute for Aging, and McMaster Universitys School of Rehabilitation Sciences. Crizzle completed his PhD at the University of Waterloo and is currently a postdoctoral fellow at McMaster University.

The Dow and the S&P 500 capped their strongest weekly gains in more than a month on Friday. Come Monday, stocks looked poised to rise early on but have since weakened, and reputed haven asset classes such as gold and bonds are on a downswing. The Japanese yen, which was weak in morning trading, is nearly flat versus the dollar.
There's a pair of notable monetary-policy stories, with contradictory messages for investors. The first is Jon Hilsenrath's story in the Wall Street Journal arguing investors missed the real, dovish significance of Janet Yellen's commentary last week:
Federal Reserve Chairwoman Janet Yellen caused a stir last week when she suggested the central bank might start raising short-term interest rates a little sooner than investors were expecting.
In focusing on that, Wall Street might have glossed over news of greater consequence.
The Fed, in its official policy statement, said it planned to keep short-term rates below what it sees as appropriate for a normal economy even after the unemployment rate and inflation revert to typical levels.
In 2016, for example, the Fed projects the jobless rate will reach 5.4%, economic output will be growing at a rate near 3% and inflation will be just below 2%. That level of unemployment would be lower than the average over the past 50 years.
Yet officials see the Fed's target short-term interest rate at just over 2% at the end of 2016, well below the 4% they consider appropriate for an economy running on all cylinders.
But judging by falling bond prices and rising yields Monday, investors appear to be looking to the other story: the commentary of Fed governor Jeremy Stein.
Here's how it was reported over the weekend by Craig Torres and Jeff Kearns of Bloomberg News:
Federal Reserve Governor Jeremy Stein said monetary policy should be less accommodative when bond markets are overheated even if it raises the risk of higher unemployment.
The remarks suggest financial stability should receive strong consideration as the Fed pursues its two mandates — stable prices and maximum employment — because financial crises can do so much damage to jobs and growth.
"All else being equal, monetary policy should be less accommodative — by which I mean that it should be willing to tolerate a larger forecast shortfall of the path of theunemployment rate from its full-employment level — when estimates of risk premiums in the bond market are abnormally low," Stein said. He didn't comment on the current stance of policy.
Gold futures are weaker Monday, with the most actively traded contract declining by 1.4%. SPDR Gold Trust (GLD) and Market Vectors Gold Miners ETF (GDX) fell more than 1% ahead of the open and iShares Silver Trust (SLV) fell 0.5%. The leveraged Direxion Daily Gold Miners Bull 3X Shares (NUGT) and Direxion Daily Gold Miners Bear 3X Shares (DUST) moved more than 4% apiece.
Commerzbank's commodity strategists call it profit-taking:
This is due no doubt to further profit-taking after net long positions in gold were increased for the sixth week running in the week to 18 March. At 121,100 contracts, they are currently at their highest level since the end of November 2012. Meanwhile, the net long positions have probably been reduced in part.

The Kuring-Vest Bequest for the Acquisition of Asian art at the National Gallery of Australia
The National Gallery of Australia announces the receipt of a bequest of nearly A$500,000 for the acquisition of Asian art. The largest cash donation in support of Asian art to the Gallery to this date, the bequest comes from the estate of two Sydney men, Peter Kuring and Gerald Vest, who died in the years 1986 and 1991 respectively. Well known around Sydney for their eclectic art collecting and love of fine cuisine and travel, it was the men's shared love of and admiration for Asian art that inspired Gerald Vest to leave his estate to the national collection. The funds generated by the estate will be used annually to purchase objects of fine quality to supplement and complement the Gallery's existing Asian collections. The couple's own collection included works from Japan, China, and Thailand and from island Southeast Asia, especially Bali. The Gallery hopes to reflect these Asian art interests in these future acquisitions.
In 1992, the Department of Asian Art received a gift from the Kuring-Vest estate of a pair of carved and lacquered Japanese sculptures of Buddhist saints (rakan or arhat) through the generosity of Rosemary Foot AO to whom the objects had been bequeathed. At the time of the gift, they were judged to be 18th-19th century. Further research has revealed that they are considerably older - probably late 17th century - and significant objects comparable in quality and age to similar rakan sculptures in the National Museum in Tokyo, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York and the Detroit Institute of Arts. In fact, like those objects, the Gallery's pair of rakan probably originates from the Rakan-ji temple in Tokyo dedicated in 1695, and containing figures of the '500 Rakan'. A fine bronze Sukhothai head of the Buddha from 15th century Thailand, originally belonging to the two men was also donated to the National Gallery by Mrs Foot.
These objects and the forthcoming acquisitions of Asian art made from the bequest will form part of the Kuring Vest Bequest to the NGA. The works will be dedicated 'In Memory of PE Kuring and GE Vest'.
For further information contact Mr Ken Begg: 0412 174319 or 62824928.

Innovative Thinking: Majoring in Social Media
Al Maag, Vice President, Avnet
11/27/2012 (14) comments
If you haven't already noticed, the social media train left the station a while ago. There isn't a day that goes by when I don't hear someone talking about Twitter, Facebook, or LinkedIn and the countless other platforms that pop up every single day. This stuff is important, and it is becoming even more important as the use of mobile smartphones and tablets continue to skyrocket in popularity.
Here's the thing, when it comes to social media: I don't know all the ins and outs, but I try what tactics I can, to benefit Avnet Inc. (NYSE: AVT). What I do know is that it is important to invest in someone who does get it.
I recently spoke with representatives of a major US university about a new degree program it's developing that's all about communication in this new digital and mobile world. This degree would give students the technical skills needed to enable them to effectively use new technologies. These graduates will be trained to not only implement the technology but to understand the social, cultural, and professional implications of their digital work. Sounds innovative to me.
We have all read the stories about students not finding jobs when they graduate. Well, this is a superb entry job. There is a growing need among B2B and, of course, B2C companies for people with this expertise, and I think this degree program will prep students for a career starter. This would easily prepare these young folks for internships as well, which I feel is vital for students.
This type of a role will expose the student to a wide variety of disciplines that are transferable to many other areas in marketing, communications, employee morale, community, and public relations. This role is important and new to most departments, so they will be noticed as well. If they do well they can easily move on to other opportunities.
Going forward, I think that having a solid understanding of how to effectively communicate using technologies of today and tomorrow will be key to having a successful career in these fields. What do you think? Does it make sense?
Business leaders need to collaborate more with the educational community, and invest in training, to get workers of the future.
The key to your next career move or your next product pitch isn't in your PDA or smartphone -- it's in face-to-face communication.
The stories of the athletes make the television programming so compelling. It's too bad the world doesnt come together more often like this.

14 points from fly-half Matthew Morgan helped the Ospreys beat Leinster 19-10 in a rematch of last season's PRO12 final on Sunday.
Fourteen points from the boot of fly-half Matthew Morgan helped the Ospreys defeat Leinster 19-10 in a rematch of last term's PRO12 final.
The champions battled back from a one point half-time deficit, and a ten minute period in the second half down to 14 men, to beat Leinster for their fifth straight victory in the competition.
Ospreys introduced Matthew Dwyer at hooker for his debut, and Lloyd Peers in the second-row started his first game at this level. Leinster meanwhile, made wholesale changes to their backline, with Andrew Goodman making his debut at outside centre, while Rhys Ruddock made his first appearance of the season at 6.
The Irish side were on the attack from the start, with Ian Madigan getting them on the scoreboard with a penalty goal after only four minutes. Leo Auva'a pounced on a blocked Ospreys kick to touch down for the visitors on eight minutes, with referee John Lacey needing assistance from the TMO. With Madigan adding the extras, it was 10-0.
But Ospreys came back, and three Morgan penalties made it 10-9 to Leinster at the break.
Duncan Jones saw a card after the restart, so with the extra man, Leinster turned the screw.
Sam Lewis made way for another home debutant, Marc Thomas, during Jones's absence. Morgan had spurned the opportunity to take the lead for the Ospreys, but his penalty kick just before Jones' sin-binning went wide of the posts at Liberty Stadium.
An error-strewn period saw Leinster make no headway with the extra man, and it was Eli Walker who took advantage of handling errors by the Irish side. He put the Ospreys in front before numerical parity was restored, taking advantage of a pass from Richard Fussell, who had made a great break through Leinster's defensive line. Walker did the rest, and Morgan's conversion gave the home side a 16-10 lead, as the game entered the final quarter.
Man of the match Fussell rounded off a perfect day, making his 100th appearance in the competition. Victory was secured by Morgan's drop-goal five minutes from time, to put daylight between the sides, for Ospreys' eighth consecutive win against Leinster.

Confidence among upstate consumers in May reached its highest point in 11 months, a monthly survey by the Siena Research Institute shows.
Overall confidence—which includes current and future confidence—among upstate consumers rose to 75.4 last month from 69.1 in April and 73.9 a year ago. Current confidence was 81.1, compared with 77.3 in April and 80 in May 2013. Future confidence increased to 71.8 from 64 in April and 70.1 a year ago.
Statewide, overall confidence was 76 last month, up from 74.4 in April, but down from 77.2 a year ago. Current confidence rose to 79.6 from 77.7 in April and 78.8 in May 2013. Future confidence was 73.7, compared with 72.3 in April and 76.1 a year ago.
Nationally, overall confidence was down last month to 81.9 from 84.1 in April and 84.5 a year ago. Current confidence fell to 94.5 from 98.7 in April and 98 a year ago. Future confidence was 73.7 last month, down from 74.7 in April and 75.8 in May 2013.
"While national consumer sentiment slipped this month, New Yorkers' attitudes towards economic conditions rose moderately," SRI founding director Doug Lonnstrom said. "Where often New York City residents are far more bullish than upstaters, this month their views are quite similar."
Consumers in the highest income bracket continued to report the highest overall confidence, while those in the lower income bracket of less than $50,000 reported the lowest.
Some 67 percent of upstate consumers said gasoline prices were having a very serious or somewhat serious impact on their financial condition, down from 69 percent in April. Sixty-eight percent of upstate consumers reported food prices were having a serious impact on their finances, compared with 70 percent in April.
Buying plans were up for consumer electronics, furniture, homes and major home improvements, while plans to purchase vehicles were down.
The SRI consumer sentiment index was based on calls to more than 600 residents statewide in May.

By ANNA CLARE SHEPHERD
When the school district administration and the teachers' union are pitted against the school board and the district's parents, everyone loses. When parents from one area are pitted against parents from another to fight over which schools to close, we all once again are losers. School districts have been left with too few dollars to fund vital needs for too long. They've been forced to make cut after cut after cut and we are at the bare bones now. We must stop the cuts. We need to turn to the cause of our problems: the legislature.
Public education in Utah is in grave danger: of losing teachers to higher paying jobs, of losing even more programs, of having class size raised precipitously, etc. It is also in danger of losing its fundamental building blocks: its local neighborhood schools. We need to stop the in-house fighting and band together for all Utah's children.
We must ask our legislators to better fund public education and allow us to keep all our neighborhood schools open. We also need their help to protect educational programs, to pay higher teacher salaries, and to lower class size. We have surpluses in the State budget, yet Utah has the lowest per pupil spending in the nation. If our legislators can't better fund public education, we should replace them. Legislators are expendable. Neighborhood public schools and Utah's current and future young citizens are not. It's time we all work together to save public education.

7 Resources to Use in Your Search for Scholarship Money
Scholarships provide a form of free money. Students who are lucky enough to get a product like this are given funds they can use in order to pay for school, and when their days in the classroom are over, they're not required to pay that money back. It might sound like a dream, but these scholarships are very real.
Unfortunately, the awards from scholarships can be quite small. For example, the Minnesota Office of Higher Education suggests that the typical award provided in a scholarship program is about $1,000 or $2,000. Since colleges often demand much larger payments for tuition, this means that students who want to use scholarships to pay for school often need one, two or even three of these products in order to make ends meet.
Thankfully, there are a number of different organizations that provide scholarships, including public institutions, individuals, businesses and more. That's why it's vital for students to tap into resources as they search, as students probably won't find all of the resources available to them unless they get a little outside help. These are 7 such resources students could find helpful as they look for the funds that can help them to pay for school.
1. High School Guidance Counselors
The average high school guidance counselor is asked to provide students with vital social-skills training, so they can emerge from school with the tools they'll need to succeed in college. As a result, most of these professionals have master's degrees in some counseling-related discipline, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.
While counselors might not hold degrees in finance, they might know a great deal about how scholarships work, and what students might need to do in order to get them. After all, good advice given about scholarships could help to push even the most reluctant student into college, and that might mean that the counselor keeps the job for another year.
Making an appointment with a guidance counselor is relatively easy, and students should do so early in the school year, so they'll have the best chance at getting the funds they need in order to pay for school.
2. College Financial Aid Officers
People who work in the financial aid office at a college or university know that students often need a little help in order to pay for school, and chances are, they know that students who don't get that help may choose to drop out of school. As a result, many financial aid officers are experts, when it comes to both identifying scholarships and helping students to apply for them.
A financial aid officer might automatically assist a student who is applying for school for the very first time. During this enrollment period, the officer might pull together an
aid package with scholarships, or the officer might provide incoming students with a list of scholarships that can help. It's all part of the marketing these professionals do in order to attract and retain the best students. But students who are already enrolled in school may also find that an officer's help is valuable.
A visit with the officer on a quarterly basis may allow a student to find out about new scholarships that are operating at the school, or the student may find out about scholarships that he/she just became eligible to apply for. These visits could be very helpful as a result.
3. Employers
Business owners often provide scholarships to employees, or to the children of employees. This kind of investment might allow a business to either recruit or retain talented workers, and it can serve as a public relations boost to companies that need to do a little image work.
Students who work can simply ask about scholarships available, or they can read their employee handbook, if applicable, to find out more about the programs available through their place of business. Parents can go through these same steps to find out about funds available for their children.
4. Community Groups
There are a number of community organizations that might provide students with financial assistance, including:
- Veteran's groups
- Churches
- Interest-based groups (like knitting groups)
- Public interest leagues
- Political groups
An article produced by US News and World Report suggests that even sports-based leagues provide scholarships to students who participate during their years in school.
Students can perform brainstorming sessions with their parents, thinking about all of the community organizations they participate in during a given month. Do they pay dues? Attend events? Receive newsletters? Any kind of contact like this could translate into money, and it should be explored.
5. Books
Online retailers like Amazon.com sell a number of paperback books made for students who want to fund their schooling with scholarships. "The Ultimate Scholarship Book 2014" is one such book, as is "Kaplan Scholarships 2014."
These books tend to provide an overview of the scholarship process, as well as notes about what students might need to do to win sources of money for school. But they also provide long lists of scholarships that are available to students, along with information about where students can go online in order to find out more about the products they'd like to apply for.
6. Fellow Students
While talking to experts, reading books, and checking in with authorities can all be valuable for students looking for scholarships, it's also worthwhile for students to work with their peers. Students might know about open scholarships that could be useful, while graduating students might be willing to share the secrets they used in order to find out about the scholarships other students had never heard of. Just chatting with peers could be an intensely valuable activity, as it might help students to find out about all sorts of things they'd just never thought of before.
7. Websites
The Internet is also a treasure trove of information about scholarships. Most websites provide students with the opportunity to search for scholarships, and they might even include links students can use in order to find out more about availability and eligibility.
At SimpleTuition, we've built one of the best websites out there. We provide you with the opportunity to look for scholarships that are available at your school, and with one click of the mouse, you'll go right to the application page for the scholarships you think are right for you. The tool is free, and we keep everything confidential. We hope you'll check it out.

Nearly every day I get a new announcement about a service that helps e-retailers set up stores on Facebook. I'm not talking about a fan page, I'm talking about putting products, descriptions and even a shopping cart on a Facebook page.
Nearly every day I get a new announcement about a service that helps e-retailers set up stores on Facebook. I'm not talking about a fan page, I'm talking about putting products, descriptions and even a shopping cart on a Facebook page. This made me wonder: Do people really want to shop on Facebook? I certainly don't.
When I want to shop, I go to an e-commerce site. When I want to connect with friends and family, I go to Facebook. I like it that way. Maybe it's because I've always liked clear distinctions. I always keep my peas and mashed potatoes separate on my plate and I cannot a random summer day in the middle of winter.
My point: E-retailers shouldn't be pushing products in an online arena designed for socializing.
It's a bit like putting a big Macy's store in the middle of a bar. I don't want to shop when I'm having a beer with a friend—and a big storefront would just get in the way when I'm trying to grab the next round of Miller Lites.
One of my trusted analyst sources, Nikki Baird of Retail Systems Research, captured my thoughts exactly on this topic exactly recently:
"I'm not certain yet how much commerce needs to be available when people are in community mode," she said. "If retailers aren't careful, they could undermine the enthusiast nature of their fans by trying too hard to sell to them. They're already fans."
Well said.
I want to be clear that I don't shun social marketing. I use Facebook—a lot. (Ok, I'm slightly a closet addict). And I shop online frequently (does nearly every day count as frequent?). Social marketing, if done with finesse, can actually be a solid vehicle for building brand loyalty. Offering coupons, discussing new products and answering questions on a social network are great ways to keep customers in the loop and encourage them to shop. But that extra step, putting products and prices and a shopping cart on a social network page and turning it into an e-commerce site, to me, is crossing the very fine line between friendly and frustrating. Shoppers are smart. They know the ultimate goal of a brand on Facebook is to sell product. If a company offers great information and advice, consumers will remember. And when they want to buy, they will go to you.
Many e-retailers today feel they need to be everywhere. And, I can see their argument: Offering products in more places creates more opportunities for a sale. However, merchants should realize they don't need to sell everywhere just because they can. E-commerce is available everywhere. On mobile devices, netbooks and PCs—when consumers are in shopping mode, they will come. After all, it's just a click away.
A small online retailer that lacks brand recognition can get a big boost from high ...

Staying hopeful...
"I fell in love with these shoes and stared at them for days before ordering them...when I opened the box they were just as cute as online. I was so happy with my purchase. Until i wore them :/ I feel they may run a tad small, I'm hoping I just have to stretch them out a bit. Also my shoes felt very unsteady. The front platform does not lay flat on the ground, and I tend to put more weight on the inside of my foot when I walk. So that was a little irritating."

Perfect Chloe Sevigny for O.C. Look-Alikes!
"They look great in person. Just as shown on the DSW website. I regularly wear a 7.5. I bought both and 8 and a 7.5 - I found the the 7.5 was snug around the toe so I kept the 8 instead. There is space at the back of the heel with size 8 but I preferred that to the discomfort I might feel with the 7.5. Great buy!!!"

St. Paul's First Letter to the Corinthians 10:23-28
Prokeimenon. Mode Plagal 2.
Psalm 31.11,1
Be glad in the Lord, and rejoice, O righteous.
Verse: Blessed are they whose transgressions have been forgiven.
BRETHREN, "all things are lawful," but not all things are helpful. "All things are lawful," but not all things build up. Let no one seek his own good, but the good of his neighbor. Eat whatever is sold in the meat market without raising any question on the ground of conscience. If one of the unbelievers invites you to dinner and you are disposed to go, eat whatever is set before you without raising any question on the ground of conscience. (But if some one says to you, "This has been offered in sacrifice," then out of consideration for the man who informed you, and for conscience' sake - I mean his conscience, not yours - do not eat it.) For "the earth is the Lord's, and everything in it."

I own both versions of Miracle on 34th street, the original from 1947 and the newer one from 1994. Which is preferred by the masses?
I really like both, but honestly, the version from 1994 was shot so brilliantly, and vibrantly, which makes it very visually pleasing to see. I love both, but I have to say the 1994 version is my favorite.

Hello. It's been a while.
I took a breather from Not Just Clutter to sweep some clutter from my own mind. I felt a little too wrapped up in worrying about mental illness and any hit of clutter, that I stepped back for a while. It was a good thing for me. I was able to focus on happier things for a while, and put my energy into other areas of my life.
But if you've been reading this blog from the beginning, you might be familiar with a series of posts called Case of the Silent Phone. That's what's prompted me to write again.
It's been 4 weeks since I've heard from my mother. If you're new to Not Just Clutter, my Mom only has a cell phone. No land line, just a cell. And for a while after getting it, Mom frequently lost her cell phone. In fact, I think she's had 3 phones in the last 18 months and it's NOT because she's always on the cutting edge of technology.
I call my Mom every Sunday. 3 weeks ago, my call went to voice mail. I assumed she would call back within a few minutes.
2 weeks ago, I got voice mail again. I thought maybe she lost the phone, or it's not charged up.
And tonight, voice mail. I've left messages every time. I just don't know what to think.
It could be that she's lost the phone or the charger. Or she's feeling depressed and is refusing to answer any calls. Or maybe….I don't know. My mind goes a million places.

When you are making plans for your holiday season, Erwin Sass, general manager of the Dugout Canyon mine, suggests an addition to your list.
"At a time when we are thankful for so many things, we should also remember the outstanding classroom teachers who helped us learn, grow socially and become more self-confident," said Sass. "The Arch Coal Teacher Achievement Awards Program provides an excellent opportunity to say 'thank you' in a special, meaningful way.
"The holiday season is an especially good time to nominate a teacher, because teachers will have a little more personal time to complete the Arch Coal award application," he added. "The easiest, fastest means of nominating a teacher is online at www.archteacherawards.com."
Classroom teachers in Carbon, Emery, Sanpete and Sevier counties are again eligible for the awards program. The counties surround the Skyline, Dugout Canyon and Sufco mines operated by Canyon Fuel Company, a subsidiary of major U.S. coal producer Arch Coal, Inc.
According to Sass, nomination forms also may be obtained at schools in the four counties and at many other organizations and businesses that support the program. These include the Utah State Office of Education, Utah Education Association, Utah School Superintendents Association, Carbon County School District, Emery County School District, Sevier County School District, North Sanpete School District, South Sanpete School District, Far West Bank, Market Express, radio stations KMTI, KLGL, KMGR, KSVC, KCYQ, KOAL, KARB, KRPX, and both Taco Time and Bookcliff Sales in Price.
Arch Coal is Utah's second largest coal producer and a large, state employer, with a workforce of approximately 800. Through all its operations, Arch Coal is one of the nation's largest coal producers. The company is listed on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE: ACI) and maintains its corporate headquarters in St. Louis, Mo.

"I don't have wide feet - I wear an M. I bought 5 pairs of these for myself and sisters. The measurement across the sole in the middle is less than 2 inches. Seriously? Who has such SLIM feet? They look like one of Cinderella's sisters trying to put their foot into the tiny glass slipper! They are all going back. They look very pretty but it would be very laughable to wear them around.

I tried
"This is a cute shoe. Super high and looks sturdy. Unfortunately the strap pieces are of differing 'slackness' so they just don't feel as secure as they should in my opinion. This also gives the appearance that the straps are not uniform and don't all lay flat. I have a fairly wide foot and they were still slightly loose-ish. Maybe a super wide foot would be a good fit. These would be a comfy heel if they fit on all other points."

Looks a little cheap
"These shoes are beautiful...because they are photographed really well...Upon arrival, the top material looks cheap. I kept them because I got such a great deal and love the wood accent on the back. However, I would never pick these out in a department store."

"This is my first Mojo Moxy shoe that I wouldn't recommend. I was so excited after seeing pictures of it online that I ordered it but it doesn't fit at all! I got the size I normally get and my foot wouldn't fit in the shoe no matter how much I tried. There's no way to make the flap part bigger either so it had to be returned :("

Excellent location, very quiet. Lovely, helpful owner. Only minor criticism is we found the mattress a little too hard.
We had a few great days in this old and charming house with all new faciliteit! the housekeepers were very kind and helpful!
Have just returned from a 4 day break at Senorio de Aloha with friends. The accommodation was lovely with ample space and facilities to house all 5 of us. The views of the mountain and over the valley were worh the booking alone!
It was nice to be away from hustle and bustle but close enough to walk down to join in anytime we wanted. Nearest supernarket was a 5 min walk and well stocked, with restaurants and cafes all in the same plaza. Beach and Bunus centre were a leisurely 15 min walk downhill and a slightly more strenuous 20mins back up again. However a taxi from the marina to apartment only cost between 4-6€s. We were delighted with the service we received from Michael too, who went out of his way to ensure our stay was perfect. All in all we would definitely reccomend and I am actually thinking of returning with my family next year.
Prior to making the booking the photos of the apartment looked great.
Once I had made a booking I could only then see the reviews left by others. These made me concerned as they described the apartment as worn out and in need of new furniture and decoration.
The truth turned out to be somewhere between the two, it was better than expected based on the online reviews. The apartment is a bit tired and would benefit from re-decoration but was functionally fine and the complex is very good.
I would consider going there again - but I would also look at other apartments in the same complex and elsewhere.
Worst place ever !
The Chalet Gidi offers an excellent location with excellent facilities. We enjoyed the stay, but guests be aware of the extra charges (we paid over 300 franks) and make sure you make decisions based on the real cost of the property, which is available on almost any booking website and not exclusively to Wimdu.
Very nice house located on entry to the Montafon valley. It is perfectly suited for a group of 8-10 people and equipped with everything you need. If you don't mind using your car to get to the ski lift, the place is highly recommended.
Excellent! The house is stunning and it has a beautiful view. We've been accepted very well and Ms Lener was immediately helpful. We'll surely come back as soon as possible. Super advised!
Everything was as described and as the pictures show. The appartment was in a very good condition and everything was clean. The host was very friendly and welcoming and also gave us some insider tipps where to enter the ski resorts and where good restaurants are available. The Wifi was stable and fast enough (approx. 6-7 MBit/s) The only downside isthat the appartment isn't very soundproof and after 10 p.m. you would need to be very quiet in the appartment but all in all we would come again and recommend this place to friends.

Not for me
"I would recommend these to a friend who likes a giant platform but they didn't do it for me. Attractive shoe, it fit nicely. The detail on the back is cute. I didn't see the brown pair only the black ones and they did draw me in at first but not for long."

"I bought these to do some indoor workouts when the weather is bad. These are perfect for that, fit great and have just enough grip. I'm even considering getting them in white too."

Okay, not great
"I bought these shoes for zumba, and they have been okay. I wouldn't buy them again because they stretched out too much and my feet swim in them now. Regarding the reviews that complain that this shoe has a narrow sole (it does) or lacks arch support or whatever, these are NOT designed for casual wear (despite what the DSW description says) or running. If you are not using them for zumba or dance, I wouldn't suggest them."

Open debate Women and peace and security, Sexual Violence in conflict
NEW YORK, 25 April 2014
Statement by Karel J.G. van Oosterom Permanent Representative of the Netherlands Mission to the United Nations. Open debate on 'Women and peace and security: sexual violence in conflict, report of the Secretary-General on conflict-related sexual violence (S/2014/181)
Mr. President, excellencies, distinguished participants,
My delegation welcomes this debate and the report of the UNSG on Conflict-related sexual violence. It is always timely to discuss these issues of grave concern. The fact that the report covers incidents of conflict-related sexual violence in over 20 countries confirms the urgency.
We appreciate the opportunity to make a few remarks in addition to the EU statement, to which we can fully align ourselves.
From Resolution to Action
Conflict-related sexual violence is not a stand-alone problem that can be solved in isolation. A fully integrated approach is needed. An approach that addresses deeply rooted gender inequalities and works to empower women. That is exactly the approach the Netherlands is taking.
We agree with the Special Representative on Sexual Violence in Conflict, Zainab Bangura, and with our EU colleagues that now is the time to focus on progressing from principles and goals to concrete action, operational measures and tools. The principles and goals we have reconfirmed most recently in SC resolutions 2106 and 2122.
It is in that context that we welcome also the efforts of the UK in organising the upcoming Summit 'End Sexual Violence in Conflict', which will continue to create international momentum around this important topic and make important strides to translate our commitments into practical action.
We also applaud UN Action and the Team of Experts for their concerted efforts worldwide, both as advocates as well as through their expert support.
Netherlands' approach: Peace, justice and development
The Netherlands uses various tools of foreign policy to confront the problem of sexual violence in conflict. This includes our policies on promotion of peace, justice and development:
[Peace and security]
In our civilian and military contributions to multilateral missions gender and attention for the issue of gender inequalities and sexual violence in conflict is integral part of our national preparation. Both our police and military officers who are now in MINUSMA in Mali have received pre-deployment training on gender, human rights and international humanitarian law.
We also offer regular trainings on gender in operations to professionals from the military, diplomacy, police, as well as to civilian experts and activists. We do this together with our valued partner Spain. This integrated approach to gender and security is at the heart of the fight against conflict-related sexual violence.
And we make civilian expertise available on gender and combating sexual violence to UN missions, for example MONUSCO in the DRC.
[Justice and accountability]
We welcome the focus Special Representative Bangura and UN Action put on issues of impunity and accountability around conflict-related sexual violence. We know that many crimes are not being held to account. National legal systems in conflict affected countries can be weakened in the course of the conflict and in the reconstruction phase.
The Netherlands attaches great value to legitimate and professional justice systems and supports rule of law programming in several countries. One example is our support to strengthen the capacities of the judiciary in DRC's Maniema province, in order to help establish better accountability for crimes of sexual violence.
There is also a clear role for the International Criminal Court and other tribunals. The Netherlands very much supports the broad jurisdiction of the ICC on the issue of conflict related sexual violence. The ICC sets important precedents: it explicitly defines many forms of sexual violence as atrocities, and it carefully takes into account the special needs of survivors of sexual violence.
The report shows that we need to do even more to optimize the protection of women and girls, who are the majority of victims of sexual violence. Despite our collective efforts in this regards, women and girls will face the long-term consequences of these violent acts. They deserve and have the right to sexual and reproductive health, including safe abortion services. As our French colleague Gerard Araud said this morning: 'witholding these services to victims of sexual violence is adding insult to injury.'
[Women as leaders]
Women and girls are never only victims, though. We know about the resilience of many survivors. We also know that empowered women who can participate in decision making and take up leadership roles - particularly in issues of conflict prevention, resolution, and peacebuilding and reconstruction - can make the difference.
We believe in the power of women as agents for peace and as representatives of communities living in conflict. As women are empowered, sexual violence, causes of gender inequality and accountability will more likely be addressed as integral part of peace- and reconstruction processes.
We are working with UN Women to support the Syrian Women's Initiative for Peace and Democracy to make their voices heard. Around the second round of the Geneva negotiations their message came through loud and clear. They called on the parties to immediately take measures to stop gender-based violence. The women of Syria inspired many and offered a new window of hope for a political solution to the horrific conflict in Syria.
We encourage the Security Council to remain committed to the full agenda of resolution 1325.
Let me finish by mentioning some examples of Netherlands support for initiatives combating conflict related sexual violence. The recurring focus throughout our efforts is on the empowerment of women and their agency.
Through our program FLOW 'Funding Leadership Opportunities for Women', we support women's rights organisations around the globe. Our National Action Plan 1325 promotes civil society programming in support of women's political participation and leadership. And we contribute to several UN trustfunds, such as UN Women's Trust Fund to Eliminate Violence against Women.
Mr. President,
We need to collectively continue forward to combat the crime of sexual violence in conflict through concrete and joint action. Rest assured that the Netherlands, partner of the UN and member states for peace, justice and development, will be at your side in this endeavour.
Thank you.

Beating Ireland meant Scotland picked up consecutive Six Nations wins for the first time since 2001. The next target – a feat of three straight wins, was last achieved in 1996. Their Round Three victory was accomplished with 29 per cent possession, 23 per cent territory, 16 penalties conceded and the hosts were forced to make over 150 tackles with just 36 carries recorded for 102 metres. Those are pretty similar stats to those in the June 2012 besting of Australia in torrid conditions, but it's not unreasonable to suggest that more is going to be required to win games on a consistent basis. Wales have won ten of their last twelve games in the tournament and their last four away. They have also beaten Scotland in nine of the last ten meetings by an average score of 27-15. The last four clashes have seen the Scots carry for a total of 1945 metres but score just four tries. In contrast of efficiency, Wales accumulated twelve tries from their 1725 metres made. The visitors have outscored teams after the break in 7/8 Six Nations matches, by an average of ten points and in 4/5 games against Scotland by an average of nine points. They've scored 49 of their 64 points after half-time so far and I like the look of -2 on the second-half handicap. There have been fourteen cards in the last eight Six Nations games between Wales and Scotland and eight cards in the six games played in Scotland (at least one a game). Only two of thirteen clashes have gone card-less so a sin-bin looks good.
Les Bleus have lost five competition games in a row and added to the draw against Saturday's opponents last season, that's six games in this tournament without a win. They have also lost five of their last six away games in the Six Nations. Ireland have lost seven of their last nine games, including consecutive defeats in this trophy for the first time since 2008. Picking a winner and indeed positives for either team has proved tough. The visitors seem hampered by the set-up of the Top 14, with Philippe Saint-Andre having less time to prepare his squad than he would desire. The pace of their domestic games, attritional nature and the number of 'foreign' players in key positions are also factors. Combine that with a starting XV that rarely contains players picked in their best positions and that run of results becomes explainable. Ireland have their own issues, with a coach under pressure, injuries to influential personnel, some questionable management of the captaincy and fly-half position and on the cusp of a dreaded period of transition. Both sides have been vulnerable after the break – Ireland have led at half-time in nine of their last fourteen games and been outscored in ten of them in the second-half (the Wales game being an extreme example of this trend). France have led at half-time themselves in 7/8 games but been outscored after the break in the last three matches this tournament – by at least seven points. So, to pick a winner have resorted to the head-to-head record, and with France winning eleven of the previous thirteen meetings and three of four played in Ireland, I will cautiously back the Clermont contingent to inspire the away win at 1.91 on Saturday.
England have won all 18 matches against the Azzurri and it's been an average score of 46-11 when the sides have met at Twickenham. The hosts have scored 36 tries in the previous six games in this fixture, with wingers bagging 15 of them. Italy have lost 32/34 away games in the Six Nations, by an average score of 34-13 so the position that the bookies have taken on the game is understandable. The visitors are priced at a generous 41.0 to win on Sunday and are being given 26 points on the handicap. Italy have been outscored by an average of 17 points after the break in the last six away games and -13 points on the second half handicap for their opposition would have covered in 5/6 of those matches. England have averaged a half-time lead of 20 points over Italy in their clashes at Twickenham and a -12 half-time handicap would have covered in 6/6 games. If you were looking to back the hosts, then either of those options would be favourable to choosing the main 26 point handicap. I'm leaning towards the second half option and head coach Stuart Lancaster has been emphasising a desire to tire teams and kill them off in the latter stages in recent interviews.
Leigh Halfpenny has four tries in three games against Scotland, Vincent Clerc eight in ten against Ireland. It's a generous 18.0 for both to score. Manu Tuilagi has five in his last six games and six in eight at HQ but is going to be priced far too short on Sunday, so it is perhaps worth looking at him as a first try-scorer option instead. A Stuart Hogg / Wesley Fofana anytime double of 32.5 or Johnnie Beattie / Louis Picamoles at 76.0 also appeals.
Over in Super Rugby, a 'Frank the Tank' Halai / Hosea Gear / Jesse Mogg anytime scorer treble is 12.0. Backing the Brumbies -3, Stormers +5, Wales +1, France +5 and Blues -3 is 6.6. France and Wales to both win by a margin of 1-12 points is 6.2 and if you add in the Stormers and Brumbies by the same amount it is a chunky 40.6 wager.

Tennessee ranks high on roads and bridges study
NASHVILLE, Tenn. - A new study by the Reason Foundation finds Tennessee has improved its roads in all seven key areas studied, one of only 11 states to do so.
The foundation examined 20 years of highway data for the study.
The report measures road performance in several categories: miles of urban interstate highway in poor condition, miles of rural interstates in poor condition, congestion on urban interstates, deficient bridges, highway fatalities, rural primary roads in poor conditions and the number of narrow rural primary roads.
"This report is a testament to the focus TDOT has placed on maintaining our infrastructure, aggressively repairing and replacing aging bridges, increasing safety, and managing congestion" said TDOT commissioner John Schroer.
In addition to improving in all seven categories, Tennessee also went beyond the national average improvements in many cases, making it one of the most successful states in the U.S. in terms of highway infrastructure.

Garth Pischke reaches 1,200 win milestone
WINNIPEG – Garth Pishke, a former Canadian national team men's volleyball coach and player, reached the 1,200 win milestone this past weekend as he guided the University of Manitoba Bisons to a straight sets victory over number-one ranked Trinity Western Spartans.
Pischke has coached at various levels for the past 35 years, starting at the U of M in 1977-78. His career CIS record is an amazing 1,200 wins and 323 losses. That's the most wins ever by a CIS coach in any sport.
''There is a great program here and we've had excellence players come through the provincial system,'' said Pischke, 56. ''I've tried to use my experience at the national team level as both a coach and player to help us stay strong.''
With two major universities in Winnipeg, there is always a battle between the two schools for the province's best players. The University of Winnipeg is currently ranked 10th in the country.
''It's a tough job to stay competitive. We are the only western city with two major universities and most of our players are from the Winnipeg area.''
Pischke has earned nine national CIS titles as a coach and collected 22 medals in 25 national championship appearances. The Bisons are currently ranked number-two in Canada with a 14-2 record.
As a player Pischke competed at the 1976 Olympics and 1984 Games in Los Angeles where Canada finished a best-ever fourth. He coached the national team from 1996-2000 guiding the squad to a world number-10 ranking.
''I'm really excited about seeing our men's team back in the World League,'' said Pischke. ''It's very important to be involved. We can't get better unless we play the best.''
Pischke is also looking forward to Canadian Open May 17-22 in Toronto which will be held at the Direct Energy Centre with more than 10,000 players from 800 teams expected to compete. ''It's going to be quite an event and a huge exposure for our sport.''
Volleyball is a big part of Pischke family. Garth's son Dane is fourth-year player on the Bisons while his daughter Taylor will attempt to join the women's Bisons squad in the fall.
''I certainly plan on being around here for the next four years to watch my daughter play,'' said Pischke when asked if he'll pursue win number 1,300.
