International, domestic students gather to talk global issues"It was phenomenal to see the students from Argentina, Rwanda, China, and America identify agricultural and environmental issues of importance not only to their own countries, but also to the world," said Jamie Loizzo, assistant professor of Agricultural Leadership, Education and Communication. The Institute of Agriculture and Natural Resources' (IANR) Global Engagement office, in partnership with the Agricultural Education, Leadership and Communication (ALEC) Department recently gathered students from four countries across multiple continents for a dialogue on pressing global issues. The event was held as part of the Agriculture and Innovation Seminar programming for the Argentina Friends of Fulbright student group in their last week of their stay at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln.

How Do I Get Importance on the NEM Blockchain?
[One of the most asked questions in various crypto-related chats is how Proof-of-Importance works. There's already an article on that, so you should read that article here if you haven't already. After learning what PoI is, most people will then ask the next logical question: "How do I get importance?"
This concept can generally be simplified down to the fact that the use of the network is rewarded, as opposed to only your stake or mining power. This article aims to go more into detail about the importance calculation formulas, while avoiding complicated math and cryptography concepts.
In order to increase your PoI score, send more transactions to more people. This will result in a net loss of money, but your PoI score will go up. There are protection measures in place to ensure that won't allow you to profit by artificially inflating your score.
So, just use the network honestly and normally, and you won't have any troubles..]

Hes a lazy, drunk, piece of shit! When is the city going to realize he's robbing them blind. I saw him in Carroll county in the city truck. He looked drunk or high then
#10 Oct 24, 2012
This is a bias reply. I am not kin to Bo nor do I know him well enough to say if the drinking is true or not, but what I do know is he works hard, he is always willing to help, and him being in Carroll County in a city truck was probably because he go and picks things up for the schools and city anywhere needed. I only know his work ethic, and that is untouchable. Yes, his sister is a bad person all around, but that should have no refection on him what so ever!

I am related very closely to Bo. Yeah, he drinks. So what!? He is 21

Sad that so many judge or spread gossip when there is so much good in our town, state and nation. Why make up lies just to start something? Find something positive to occupy your mind. If only the REAL story was known, a certain idiot in town would never show his face in Humboldt again, not named Church either. ;)

So what is the REAL story? From what I know about Bo he's a good guy.
#15 Dec 12, 2012
he spends his time working for the school system as maintenance, bus supervisor and driver and helps numerous kids though the city from neighbors who need help to relatives as well as taking care of his own young daughter, his grown son who is disabled and hs granddaugher. whoever started this is apt to be a disgruntled ex family member who does not bother to take care of his own children or his own bill...so hope the "ex" idiot relative puts this in his pipe and smokes it instead of the pot or whatever he smokes to delude himself..

To you people who have stood up in my defence thank you from the bottom of my heart and to the initial poster screw you you coward all my life I have taken care of my family and myself never asked for a hand out paid my own bills and made my own way through life .

Author has written 1 story for Ghost Hunt.
Unlucky No More... for now.
Unlucky is now complete! I would like to thank everyone that read and reviewed this story. I really appreciate all your support. It has been a great ride writing, editing and sharing this story with you all. I hope everyone enjoyed themselves as well!
Some people have asked if I will write several one-shots dealing in the events of Hadley Children's Home, future cases, and/or Gene's take on the Kennel Boy case. I won't discount the possibility that I may one day return to such stories, but for now I am working on a piece of original fiction for publication, and therefore I do not foresee the one-shots being completed any time soon.
As always, I'd really like to thank my beta team for helping me polish the manuscript. You guys are amazing.
Thank you also to everyone for their kind words and generosity.
Quick Q & A
Q: Is Unlucky a continuation of the old stories, Unlucky Lady and Unlucky Secrets?
A: No. Unlucky should be read as a new story.
Q: At times Unlucky seems exactly the same as the old stories. Why is that?
A: Yes. Direct parallels may be drawn between some plot segments and chapter sections of the old and new stories, but the overall story and plot lines are markedly different. I took the best aspects of the old stories and wove them into the new story, Unlucky.
Q: I liked the old stories. Why couldn't you have just continued them?
A: Thank you. I'm glad you enjoyed the original stories. Unfortunately the plot did not work with the old stories. I redrafted the stories and that resulted in the writing of Unlucky. Many of the aspects that you enjoyed from the old stories have been retained in Unlucky. I hope you enjoy Unlucky because the old stories would have otherwise remained unfinished.
Q: I hate how you ended Unlucky. It is sloppy/horrible/stupid. Will you rewrite the end? Also why didn't you tie the end up in a neat little bow?
A: No. I worked very hard and very purposefully to create the dynamics between the villains and heroes. Unlucky finishes with several loose ends because that is how I enjoy my stories. Twists and turns and food for thought and unforeseen turmoil in the near future.
For those people who wish only to flame, I ask you to refrain. For those people who wish to offer constructive criticism, I ask that you make sure your comments are constructive, clearly articulated and use very specific examples. I will then file those constructive criticisms away for future reference. I certainly do not want to disappoint my audience.

Re: [art_education] Re: Kinko's acting like copyright agents, too?
Expand Messages
Re: [art_education] Re: Kinko's acting like copyright agents, too?As a publisher and author, I appreciate Kinko's stand on copyright infringement.
To alleviate trouble for people trying to make one copy, I print a permission in the front of my books that says something like --
"ok photocopying ten or less pages for single person use or classroom use for teachers"
Some of my older editions don't say this, but any newer books do.
It's simply to keep some control over the rampant multiple copying of entire books that is happening.
Can you believe the following?
I have been part of email sharing groups (not this one), where people scan
an entire book and share those jpgs with thousands of other people? The way
it benefits is that if each member in the group scans one entire book and
shares it, then everyone gets 1000 entire books for free. Yes, lots of paper
involved if they print them out. But not everyone prints out books. They
keep them on their computers for access. They share these books through AIM
and ICQ and iCHAT, where anyone on their member list or buddy list has
instant access to all their shared files. Kind of like the Napster music thing. But
entire BOOKS? Very disheartening for those little single person publishers
like myself trying to do good things for kids and parents and teachers and
still make a living.

I am sorry that you had a bad experience with Kinkos. I thought I
would weigh in with my thoughts on the matter.
As both an Art teacher and professional photographer, I provide a
service to clients that I hope will return income for myself and my
family. One of the ways I do that is by charging for my
professionally finished prints.
I had printed some proofs for one of my clients to look at for the
purpose of printing enlargements. Since I had my studio information
printed on the back of the prints along with the statement that the
prints are copywritten, I received a phone call from a manager at
Kinkos informing me that someone was making enlargements and copies
of my work.
I appreciated Kinkos efforts to thwart copywrite infringement for the
sake of my family's well being.
I can understand, however, that this power can be abused and I hope
that Kinkos will find a better, more efficient way of handling this
issue in the future.
Thanks for allowing me to comment.

- Regarding Kinko's (I used to work there years ago beofre they went
corporate & at that time they had recently survived losing a big
lawsuit from textbook companies, so that sent them down a very strict
copyright path...) but it sounds extreme now.
My best suggestion is to use the do-it-yourself (self-serve) machines
& then the employees don't have to pay attention to what you are
doing. Don't know if that would still work, but it's probably worth a
try if there aren't other printing alternatives.

Dear Prime Minister Lee,
I have learnt with sadness the demise, in the early hours of this morning, of your beloved father, Mr. Lee Kwan Yew, former Prime Minister of Singapore.
He will be remembered as the the architect of modern Singapore. His stewardship towards a successful and fruitful shift in the development paradigm in your great country has been a source of inspiration for many small developing countries the world over, including Mauritius. Under his guidance, Singapore assumed its rightful role in the concert of nations and wielded a positive influence on many far-reaching decisions in international fora, be it at the Commonwealth or the WTO, among others.
Please do accept my personal condolences and those of my party, the MMM, on this sad occasion and kindly convey the same to all afflicted by this loss and to the people of Singapore.
Yours sincerely,
Paul Bérenger,
Leader of the Opposition and of the MMM,
Port Louis

"Socialism, like the ancient ideas from which it springs, confuses the distinction between government and society. As a result of this, every time we object to a thing being done by government, the socialists conclude that we object to its being done at all. We disapprove of state education. Then the socialists say that we are opposed to any education. We object to a state religion. Then the socialists say that we want no religion at all. We object to a state-enforced equality. Then they say that we are against equality. And so on, and so on. It is as if the socialists were to accuse us of not wanting persons to eat because we do not want the state to raise grain." ~ Frederic Bastiat
G8 and the Internet: Sarkozy Messes With a Good Thing
Submitted by Sharon Secor on Tue, 2011-05-31 02:00
"Sarkozy's problem is that, like other political leaders, he doesn't like a medium over which the government does not have final authority," wrote Don Tapscott. "Nobody should forget that governments are the only legitimate representatives of the will of the people in our democracies. To forget this is to risk democratic chaos and anarchy…We need to hear your aspirations, your needs… You need to hear our limits, our red lines," said French president and G-8 participant Sarkozy, as quoted by Tapscott.

Pakistan Isn't Building Any Nuclear Weapons
Published: December 2, 1993
To the Editor:
An Associated Press report datelined Karachi, published on Nov. 21, stated that the Prime Minister of Pakistan, Benazir Bhutto, "vowed today that Pakistan would not give up its nuclear weapons program despite pressure from Washington."
That report is entirely inaccurate. The Prime Minister did not refer to Pakistan's "nuclear weapons program" because Pakistan is not building nuclear weapons.
Pakistan has time and again declared that its nuclear program is designed for peaceful purposes only. It does not possess a nuclear explosive device and does not intend to make one.
Pakistan remains firmly committed to the objective of nuclear nonproliferation for which it is willing to accept any equitable and nondiscriminatory regime in South Asia. In consonance with its commitment to nuclear nonproliferation, Pakistan will also not transfer sensitive nuclear technology to another country.
In the process of developing its peaceful nuclear program, Pakistan has acquired a certain technical capability in the nuclear field. However, a political decision has been taken at the highest government level to use this capability for peaceful purposes only and not to manufacture nuclear weapons. MALIK ZAHOOR AHMAD Press Attache Embassy of Pakistan Washington, Nov. 26, 1993

Project Description
Im working on a cartoon scene in flash CS4 where my characters should play some instruments. I have instruments as vectors (.eps) files and my character is in .fla file. The problem is with binding those instruments to my character. Those don't fit so well, so i need somebody to get this done for me. It might need more drawing as well if those instruments cannot be used.
From my [url removed, login to view] file you'll see exactly what i need (on example of violine and the drums). I need this done in .fla file so that i don't lose bones (character functions), as i would lose if you would simply send me images.
You will also see my chairs and not good, they don't fit into the image i need them fixed as well.
So briefly:
1.) all 5 characters should hold their musical instruments and should look naturaly in .fla file so that i can resume and animate them easily.
2.) chairs should get fixed
Once this job is awarded you'll get details what instruments do i want on which characters.
Im willling to create milestone but i cannot pay more than 50$ for this job.

Airbus case study
Published: Last Edited:
This essay has been submitted by a student. This is not an example of the work written by our professional essay writers.
Introduction (Facts).
- Airbus is the company that deals with the manufacturing of aircrafts in the market. It was formally established in 1970 as a European consortium.
- It has a head office in Toulouse; France operates out of over 160 international locations. It include 16 main development and manufacturing sites in France, UK, Germany & Spain and three wholly owned subsidiaries in China, Japan and North America.
- The Airbus benefits from a unique workforce that integrates more than 80 nationalities and speaks over 20 different languages.
- At the heart of the airbus lies a core of human talent, vision and hard work the keeps them as a leading company in the market.
- There are over 55,000 workforces of more than 80 different nationalities working at the Airbus. Such cultural diversity is the key to Airbus success.
- The main problems in the case study is what is the cause of delay in bringing Airbus A380 in market for two years and a loss of euro 2 billion.
- The delay was basically due to the cultural differences and technical problems such as wiring problems.
- An autumn report 2006 highlights an intercultural survey at EADS, which portrays the different perception that each culture at Airbus has for others.
- The remarkable thing about these perceptions is that they are highly stereotypes.
Problems Faced by Airbus
Socio-cultural & technical problems.
- The workforce at the aircraft manufacturer is geographically distributed in proportion to national ownership stakes. In an instance of economic nationalism, government distort private transactions among economic actors by discriminating against foreigners in the name of national interest. This lead to the decrease in the productive efficiency. It is because of the various differences of management styles and way of communication. For e.g.: comparing with the French people, the Germans prefer collective decision making, whereas the French prefer centralised decision. At the same time the Spanish are flexible but have inferiority complex, so they have tendency to be vague and unreliable due to which they respond very less. (Ian Stokes, 2006).
- The main problem is when EADS company of Airbus was created, two chief executives German and French headed it. It was maintained even due to knowing the fact of the crisis caused by problems in development in A380 began. Looking from the Hofstedes cultural dimensions the French likes high power distance whereas the Germans prefer low power distance. So while making decisions Germans tend to interfere in the conversations while it is being dislike by France people. So this unintentionally hurt the ego's of the French people and creates a conflict between them. (Hofstede. G, 1991) 1
- Due to the government involvement respective countries, cost cutting measures were delayed as state aid comes to rescue their respective partner first. From this situation it seems that power id distributed unequally. The government is being self centred and looking after its own motives. Even no action id being undertaken by the group members of the company in order to tackle this issue. It is in this area that a culture shows the extent to which it 'tolerates and fosters pecking orders, and how actively members try to reduce them'. (Mead, 1994; 66) 1
- One of the main causes in delay of the launch of Airbus A380 for two years was owing to the fact of having a complex wiring design system for it.
- There were 1,200 functions to control the plane that takes 98,000 wires & 40,000 connectors. The system has 500,000 models, which needs to be kept in sync from different countries. It was complicated and very much time consuming due the fact of the engineers being at different locations.
- Even the aircraft parts were built at different locations. For example: nose sections are built in France, fuselages in Germany, wings in Great Britain and tails in Spain. And the final assembly were done in Toulouse (France). It unnecessarily increased the transportation cost, communication problems and foremost aspect time consumption.
- There was a problem with regards to software and knowledge as well. The engineers in Germany and Spain used the older version V4 of the CAD program in order to design the wiring system, while the engineers in France and England used the newer version V5. This created trouble and delay while transferring the data because the some data was lost while transferring files from one system to another.
- With regards to knowledge, French were familiar with the software while the Germans were not inexperienced compared to French. According to Hofstedes1 it seem that the French are more of individualistic in nature because they were least concerned about the training of its partner company's. Due to the lack of integration in engineering it resulted failure in execution.
- When the HRM team was most needed to train the employees & communicate between them regarding the software problems, they were very busy with responding to the new legislation- such as those concerned with labour working hours and the French directive on rights of individuals to choose their own training. As the French are more type of individualism because of the preference towards centralised executive, they tend to first sort out their problems that made them busy in doing things which was not important compared to training problem. (Ian Stokes, 2006) 1; (Trompenaars, 1993; 8-11) 1
- The top managers were busy struggling for the senior position in the consortium and lobbying for influence. These lead political goals get in the way of project goals. From this it seems that that the top managers were very much individualistic in nature. They were more interested in getting the name an enjoy being superior in the organization. They seemed to be self-achievement oriented and least concerned about the problems going on in the company. This dispersed the decision making power which was most needed in problems like this. (Hofstede, 1991) 1
All this problems lead to the delay in launch of Airbus A380 for two years that was scheduled to launch in 2006. Delay in delivery forced some airlines to cancel their orders. This gave them loss of euro 2 billion due that they had to make drastic cuts in the size of its workforce and closure of some plants, which in turn dented their image in the market.
Efforts taken by Airbus to tackle the issues.
- In order to tackle the design of the wiring system and the software problems, Airbus made special investment to train its employees with the help of the software supplier.
- They even tried to set up intercultural sessions to inspire a warm feeling of mutual understanding, but it failed to address adequately the fundamentals of co-operation.
- The EADS managers most of the times tried to draw attention to the common areas and similarities, rather than differences in order to tackle the cross-cultural differences with regards to perceptions and doing things.
- They have distributed their workforce in proportion to the ownership stakes geographically because they thought that this would increase their productive efficiency.
Economic Patriotism:
Many organisations are forced to develop and expand themselves into new markets overseas due to the increasing maturation of domestic markets and foreign competitors. In order to gain a competitive advantage over their competitors they are recognising their identity that can help them to sustain. The main motive behind this step is that by enlightening the only one of its kind personality or character of an organisation or group, all the way through symbols, communications and behaviours, it will help them to create favourable corporate image in the minds of these groups. Such differentiation will help them to create an image based on the uniqueness of its own identity, as well as creating a tendency in the minds of the people or groups as a basis for developing long-term profitable relationships. (Van, 1992) 2.
Economic patriotism is most of similarly related on these theories. Economic patriotism means, "supporting one's country". Economic patriotism is the coordinated and the promoted behaviour of consumers or companies (both private and public) that consists of favouring the good or services produced in their country or in their group of countries (wikipedia) 3.
According to me economic patriotism means favouring the people and practices done in ones own country, right or wrong. The main motive of the people living in their own country is to promote its thoughts, beliefs, way of doing business, etc. this is automatically done because they had been under the influence of such practices since their childhood. It's like expressing that they love their country and ready to sacrifice for it.
Economics patriotism can be done with the help of many activities for e.g.: imposing tariffs on imports, quota system, or encouraging consumers to purchase own domestic services and products. Now a days a new type of economic patriotism has came up that does not allows foreign investors to develop or acquire companies in one's country. For e.g.: Arcelor acquired by Mittal (Largest steel industry).
Government and political bodies are playing the main role to promote economic patriotism. Even in the Airbus case study economic patriotism has played a significant role in problems created by government of different countries. The workforce at the company is geographically distributed in proportion to national ownership stakes. So this makes the workforce far from each other. According to the company it may help them to increase productive efficiency. But in an instance of economic nationalism (whereby the people support their respective rights and countries), the government of respective countries changed private transactions according to their thoughts and practices in order to protect the local economic interests.
They discriminated foreigners in the name of national interest. So political bodies came into role in order to support the local people. Their economic motives include the preservation of employment or attraction of economic activity to a certain area. And the company's strategic motives were to include national security in order to capture rents abroad in monopolistic market. But the patriotic approach of the company proved ineffective because it conflicts with the economic efficiency, which derives from the protection of the interests of the local lobbies.
The company tried to integrate all its employees and create a sense of togetherness but the "economic patriotism" practiced by the people and government in respective countries failed the company's objectives. The politicians want to win the votes from people by supporting their interest. The damaged caused by economic nationalism indirectly created inefficiency and poor performance of corporate governance.
Due to this damage Airbus reputation was dented. The government did not supported because it conflicted with the ideas and thoughts of the government. The cost cutting measures were delayed because the state aid first comes to rescue the government-supported company. The competition increased because government supported companies had privileged access to infrastructure and procurement contracts. This delayed all the process in the company and unnecessarily increased the loss and the cost of production. Indirectly the Airbus suffered from takeover threats from the more efficient organisations. Finally, the national efforts to support one's interest proved to be self-defeating as other countries react in kind, neutralising the initial attempt to gain competitive advantage.
Reflection of the way the company was organised.
One of the causes of the delay was the complex wiring system and the software compatibility. The digital system has 500,000 models that need to be kept in sync. Despite of the fact that even a single mistake can create problems the company operated from different regions further complicating the wiring system.
The seems to be communication gap between the employees because engineers in Germany and Spain used the older V4 version of the CAD program to design the wiring whereas engineers in France and England used the newer V5 version. Although it has been said by the software developer that both the version were compatible but the company should not have taken risks of going with different versions. Although there was claim by developer regarding compatibility the data was lost while transferring files from one system to another. The suppliers were also not involved in a collaborative effort to anticipate problems.
There was lack of training and communication among the engineers as well. It can be seen because the engineers in France were familiar with the software while the Germans did not have much experience with it. This shows that there is centralised decision in the company that made other engineers lack of knowledge.
They built the different parts in different region, which further complicated the assembling system due to the lack of communication related to knowledge and software problems. Author Hellemans notes that 'what happened in Germany was not just technical problems related to software but it was an execution failure due to lack of efficient knowledge'. (Davis, 2007) 1
From the problems that Airbus faced, the company was not properly organised because it seems that relied mostly on the software developer regarding the solutions. There was even lack of training, communication and transparency within the organisation. It seems that mostly the decision were made in headquarters only, not with the consent of other people. The merger of the national components in 2001 only integrated themselves officially but mentally they were far away from each other. It even seems to be inequality from lack of technological development equally because when France & England upgraded themselves to V5 version, the German and Spain were still on the V4 versions.
Lessons Learned.
In the real world there is not any specific best way to integrate diverse cultures within an international joint venture. It solely depends upon the situation and the kind of cultures involves. But I am trying to be closer to individual's perception and actions that may lead to a common ground where everyone accept each other.
Research: Proper research needs to done before setting up such a culturally diversified company. Research should be on the basis of the cultural dimension of Hofstedes1 i.e. power distance, uncertainty avoidance, masculine vs. feminine, short-term vs. long-term orientation, what they like and what they don't. It helps them to integrate all their activities on the common grounds and come up with a solution that maybe acceptable to everyone.
Collectivist's approach: As we don't have any idea about what people's want and desires are, a collectivists approach will explore the ideas and perceptions about each other. It will gradually help to know each other's ideas and beliefs that can be helpful to achieve the desired goals and objectives. Initially it may create problems but at the later stage when everybody has been known to each other it help people or employees to understand regarding what to do and what not to do.
Diffuse relationships: The company employees need to be considered as members of a group or an organization. They should be involved decision-making process. It helps the employees to build rapport between themselves that in turn explore each other's ideas and beliefs. Their relationships with each other helps us to find how efficient the organization is and what steps need to be taken in order to tackle the cross-cultural issues. Teambuilding session should be conducted in order to create a feeling of oneness, which can increase the efficiency of a company. (Trompenaars, 1993; 8-11) 1.
Equality: If we integrate diverse cultures within international joint venture equality should be always there in term development, technological advancement, knowledge, etc. in the Airbus it failed because Germany & Spain had V4 version of the Cad programme whereas France & England had the latest V5 version. So always proper standardisation should be adopted within the whole organization at a specific time.
Global knowledge, local understanding: the approach should be to indulge diverse cultures but the process should be local. It means any activity done should be on the basis of the activity carries out in the home country of any organisation. Proper training should be given to its employees from the engineers at headquarters because they know it better than anyone else. This helps them to consume less time and achieve perfection, stabilisation, which is considered to be vital in any industry in order to achieve goals and objectives. Training can even be of language, way of doing things, actions, etc. Due to lack of proper training the Germans were not familiar with the software, it more delayed the project while executing the fuselages.
Time focus (polychromic): Initially the top managers need to be polychromic in time i.e. the top managers need to focus on several tasks & should be less dependent on detailed information while doing these tasks. Their main focus should be on involvement with people. This helps the employees or the partners in business to be much more expressive and approach the management whenever they feel to do so.

6.3 When differences or difficulties arise between the EABP Board and the NA and when they cannot be easily or satisfactorily resolved, these must be brought to the attention of the COUNCIL for resolution. The NA concerned and the EABP Board must accept any decision of the COUNCIL about the outcome of such a difficulty as binding.
6.4 If the EABP Board, after consultation with the COUNCIL, votes by a majority to end this agreement and, if this is ratified by a majority vote at a General Assembly of EABP, this agreement ceases. In such an instance, all membership records and any money due to EABP must be returned immediately to EABP, and the NA must either dissolve itself or re-constitute itself separating all links from EABP. In such an event, individuals would still retain their rights to EABP Membership.

In such an event, individuals would still retain their rights to EABP Membership.
6.6 In case of any misunderstandings due to translations, this agreement is in English and should be read as such. In the case of any conflicts or disagreements about the content of this agreement which cannot be resolved between the representatives of the two parties, a mutually acceptable arbitrator must be found and the decision of that person be taken as binding.
6.7 This Agreement replaces any previous signed agreement and any previous agreement remains valid until this agreement is signed.
This was agreed in the General Assembly 2006 in Askov, Denmark.

"We will open the book. Its pages are blank. We are going to put words on them ourselves. The book is called Opportunity and its first chapter is New Year's Day."
Edith Lovejoy Pierce
"For last year's words belong to last year's language and next year's words await another voice."
T.S. Eliot
"The object of a new year is not that we should have a new year. It is that we should have a new soul"
G. K. Chesterton
"A new year is unfolding – like a blossom with petals curled tightly concealing the beauty within."
"Ring out the old, ring in the new, Ring, happy bells, across the snow: The year is going, let him go; Ring out the false, ring in the true"
Alfred, Lord Tennyson
"New Year's Day - Now is the accepted time to make your regular annual good resolutions. Next week you can begin paving hell with them as usual."
Mark Twain
"Drop the last year into the silent limbo of the past. Let it go, for it was imperfect, and thank God that it can go."
Brooks Atkinson
"Another fresh new year is here . . .
Another year to live!
To banish worry, doubt, and fear,
To love and laugh and give!
This bright new year is given me
To live each day with zest . . .
To daily grow and try to be
My highest and my best!
I have the opportunity
Once more to right some wrongs,
To pray for peace, to plant a tree,
And sing more joyful songs!"

Food was good, we had the mixed seafood spaghetti & the spaghetti with clams. I was very happy with the friendliness & attentiveness of the waiters.
Nice location near the water. We ate in the front section on the street -- great for people watching. Friendly and attentive staff. Food was just OK. We wanted seafood, but most of the seafood had an * next to it on the menu, which indicated it was frozen. Odd for a seaside restaurant, so we looked for other choices....
After four days of eating all around Manarola this eatery was the best. A simple, sort of crowded place this is where we returned to after first sampling their delicious seafood. It's unsurprisingly popular and noisy but if you want good, honest food this is the place. They also have a take-out window if you want to eat at your...
Perfect food , perfect sea food , best tiramisu, best limoncello . The location is very good, near the sea.
5terre in general are a mecca for fish and other sea food lovers. As a vegetarian, I'd normally end up eating spaghetti with tomato sauce, trofie with peso, pizza margherita and/or plain salad (90 % of restaurant menus in general is fish/sea food). Here we also found vegetarian lasagna (they no longer had it at 7.30 pm, when we came...
Welcoming to our family - even the four legged one. Good seafood dishes. Can't go wrong with anything on the menu. Save room for dessert. Their house special torte was delicious. Friendly staff.
Wonderful food, friendly service, delightful location. Highly recommend the sea bass ravioli, but everything was delicious.
Tasty, fresh food, nice staff, low prices. We oredered the traditional seafood antipasti with about 12 small dishes, which was enough as a dinner.
Definitely worth visiting!
You won't be disappointed.
We came here because it was one of the rare open places at this time of year... Friendly lady gave us table, and place was packed. We had bruschetti and homemade pasta with pesto for starter, grilled seafood platter and fried one... All delicious! Octopus was nice and soft, prawns jummy! Atmosphere was very warm all the time;this is family...
Despite being off-season the restaurant was very busy. We ordered grilled Seabass & salad, it was out within 10 minutes and perfectly cooked - delicious. The house wine (white) was very nice.
Finished off with tiramisu which was delicious.
Staff were cheerful, friendly & service was very quick. Lovely atmosphere. Prices were in keeping with everywhere else I've visited so...

But his side are where it matters now, in front and with daylight showing at last. The great prize which has eluded them for 19 years is tantalisingly within touching distance once more. With two matches left and 48 points to play for they lead by 13.
"There's still so much to do," said Marsh in the immediate aftermath of the crucial, comprehensive victory against Gloucestershire on Friday. "We knew this would be a tough match, there are two tough matches to come. But we'll be doing what we have done all season, sticking to our game plan. In the past we've meandered a bit, tried too many different things maybe and that's how you come unstuck."
Those carefully balanced words may not fully reflect the positive, bright way Kent have played this summer but they indicate perfectly how much the Britannic title means to Marsh. It would seal (though not end) a career which began as Kent's splendid side of the Seventies was disintegrating and has been played in their long shadow.
Still, if Kent are favourites for the title they are not, outside the county, favourites in the primary meaning of the word. For reasons lost in the mists of time (or perhaps in that Seventies era when they conducted their on-field business with a single-mindedness not then altogether fashionable) they have managed to get a fair distance up the neutrals' pipe. This seems eminently unfair for a county which has bred cricketers as obviously beautiful as Woolley, Cowdrey and Knott and as singularly outstanding as Blythe, Wright and Underwood but there it is.
No county in the kingdom is as passionate as Kent about the game and their rightful place in it - "one-eyed," their refreshing New Zealand coach, John Wright, calls it. Yorkshire might be as fervent but are far more self-critical and less likely to forgive one of their own.
It is appropriate that the two should be meeting at Headingley this week in the penultimate round of matches. It may not quite decide the champions, though the mathematics of the table show that Kent could clinch it, but it will be a severe test of both sides' resilience, willpower and determination to stick to the game plan.
Marsh, who would surely deserve a chance at the England A team captaincy were it not for the pressing need to try to identify a young wicketkeeper with the right stuff, expects no quarter. "We don't know what the wicket is going to do but they're two good attacks. I think we have to be prepared for anything."
David Byas, Yorkshire's captain, is happy to be coming from behind, though would have been happier if water had not poured under the covers at Lancashire last week. Yorkshire revived their chances with a sturdy win over Worcestershire but the feeling persists that they may just lack sufficient self-belief when it counts - unless of course Paul Hutchison, their 19-year-old left- arm fast bowler, continues to unleash vicious inswing.
This has been a compelling Championship not least because of the involvement of gallant, glorious Gloucestershire, a team of anonymity and wonderful spirit. Sadly, they look to have faded again at the last as they have done so many times. Their captain, Mark Alleyne, who has moulded such marvellous team spirit, was not conceding the pennant at Canterbury but neither his eyes nor words carried conviction. "This hasn't taken the edge off the season," he said. "We just need Kent to make the sort of mistakes we have against them."
It looks to be between three now, Kent, Yorkshire and Glamorgan. The Welsh did themselves no favours against Surrey, refusing to chase a difficult target, but matches against Essex and Somerset do not represent a tough run-in. After going to Leeds, Kent must play rapidly rising Surrey without their influential leg-spinner Paul Strang. Min Patel, their left-arm spinner who has been out since the first game with a knee injury, may be in line for a dramatic return. Yorkshire's last game is at Derby. But it is Kent's title to lose now. This time they may not, which will prompt widespread rejoicing, if only in Kent.

• There is a movement growing.
The National Farmer Union represents independent food producers who do not want multi-national chemical agribusinesses bullying them into buying genetically patented seeds, pesticides and herbicide. NFU's recent Ottawa conference focused on "Growing the Resistance" to the corporate takeover of Canada's small and medium size family-run farms by the soulless corporations that only care about making money and gaining power. Their corporate marketing disguises their agenda with claims of saving the starving children of the world. The NFU works for development of economic and social policies that will maintain the family farm as the primary food-producing unit in Canada. NFU protects farmers like Percy Schmeiser of Bruno, Saskatchewan who got sued by Monsanto in 2000.

WILLMAR -- Jodi VandeSteeg has been in the field of property management for four months.
WILLMAR -- The Willmar Lakes Area Chamber of Commerce is encouraging more discussion by the City Council and the public on what the voters' intent was when they approved the city's half-cent local option sales tax six years ago. That was the message from Chamber officials who said their recent membership survey indicated nearly half of respondents understood that the tax would "sunset'' (end) based on whichever event happened first: when the tax raised $8 million or when seven years had expired. "We're not really sure what the voters' intent was when they went in and voted on this,'' Chamber
WILLMAR -- The Willmar Lakes Area Chamber of Commerce will address the City Council Monday night about the local option sales tax. The council will receive the Chamber's presentation during the regular meeting at 7 p.m.
WILLMAR -- The state shutdown could halt electrical and plumbing work on residential and commercial construction projects. Contractors are unable to have electrical wiring on residential and commercial projects inspected by a state electrical inspector because the state inspectors are not working. A contractor can actually start the electrical wiring in a building and work up until the point where the contractor would start to insulate and cover up the wiring, says Kelly TerWisscha, CEO of TerWisscha Construction of Willmar. "That's when the (state) electrical inspector would have to be the
WILLMAR -- Willmar Municipal Utilities' monthly principal and interest payments toward the planning process for the cancelled Big Stone II project have been reduced. The utility received a $50,464 refund from a fund balance and will use the refund to reduce the remaining monthly payments from $18,637 to $13,591, said Bruce Gomm, Willmar Utilities general manager. He said the payments will end Nov. 30, 2011. "That will be the finalization of the payments of the Big Stone project,'' Gomm told the Municipal Utilities Commission on Monday.
WILLMAR -- Willmar will be participating in a state-developed survey that will let local residents measure the performance of their city. The City Council voted to adopt performance measures developed by the state Council on Local Results and Innovations. The state council, created in 2010 by the Legislature to set performance benchmarks for city and county operations, in February released standards for counties and cities to measure the effectiveness of their services and to measure residents' opinions of those services.
WILLMAR -- The Willmar City Council has approved a series of ordinance amendments that alter the penalties for licensed liquor establishments that sell alcohol to minors.
WILLMAR -- The Willmar City Council has approved the Municipal Utilities Commission's request for a two-tier electric rate adjustment totaling 14 percent over the next 18 months. A 7 percent increase went into effect Wednesday for the remainder of 2011 and another 7 percent increase will go into effect Jan. 1 for all of 2012. The increases were approved by the utilities commission on June 13 but needed final approval from the council.
WILLMAR -- The Willmar City Council Tuesday night approved a 14 percent increase in municipal electric rates over the next year and a half. Electric rates will go up 7 percent effective today for the remainder of 2011 and will go up another 7 percent effective Jan.
WILLMAR -- The city of Willmar could survive a short delay of several weeks or maybe a little longer in receiving the first of two local government aid payments if the budget stalemate between the governor and the Legislature results in a state government shutdown July 1. "It's a concern not only that there might be a delay in payments but sometimes I wonder if the real question is will there be a payment and that's what's really scary,'' says City Administrator Michael Schmit. Willmar is budgeted to receive LGA totaling $4.48 million in two payments, one in July and one in December.
