A businessman from Lichtenstein has managed to clock more than one million kilometers in his Maybach 62.
A businessman from Lichtenstein has managed to clock more than one million kilometers in his Maybach 62.
Josef Weikinger is a Lichtenstein businessman and owner of the first European solar glass company (Interfloat) who bought a Maybach 62 back in April 2004. Over the course of about nine years, he drove – or better said was chauffeured – the limousine for no less than one million km. As a matter of fact, the odometer got stuck on 999,999 km (621,370 miles) so he got well beyond the one million mark. It is believed the impressive threshold was hit around September 2009.
It should be mentioned the car's original engine was replaced after 600,000 km (372,822 miles) while a couple of months later the Maybach 62 received a new gearbox and front shocks as well as several repairs to the electrical system.
When time came to replace the car in August 2013, Josef Weikinger wanted to buy another Maybach but the brand was gone so he opted instead for a BMW 760Li. The Maybach 62 was sold and is currently being driven by its second owner.

While watching The Breakfast Club last night there was a particularly touching scene where the hobnob of characters sit on the floor and share various bits of their lives. I did not appreciate the entire movie, but I felt this one scene contained the moral of the story. The characters began the movie hating each other and just hoping to make it through the 8 hours of detention, but in this scene they realized they're all basically the same. They all had problems, doubts, and laughter inside and around them, even if it came out and in various ways. In this circle consisting of a princess, a jock, a criminal, a geek, and a loner, they found that they all possess the same basic ideas and thoughts. Individually, they found a group that cared about who they were, even though they would have never under normal circumstances grouped together. I'm sure this was meant to simply be a touching scene amidst the criminal activity, violent actions, and boredom that they experienced within detention, but it really made me think about how we interact with each other.
As people, we often are scared to ask someone how they are or what their past or current life is like, because we are afraid to offend or appear nosy. The question why is something we have been taught as a society to never ask about someone's actions, because we either don't want to know or it might appear rude. We definitely don't ask things about people's past, because it might offend someone. Maybe in reality though, the reason people don't open up to others is because we're all just waiting on someone to ask. Why share something about yourself when you don't know how the other person will respond? It's easier to share when you know the other person wants to know the answer, since they asked. If we all just took a little more time to care about what's going on in each other's lives, maybe we could have more moments like in this movie where we realize that boundaries between people are not necessary because we're all basically the same.
That thought moves me into why I read. Sometimes when I think about this question, my answer is to escape from reality. That answer is partially true, but there's more to it than that. Part of me wants to connect to people, but as a mentioned before that is hard to do in a society where asking about personal issues is a taboo. That's another reason why I read. In a book, characters spill information freely and I am simply a bystander learning. While it's not entirely the same as connecting to a human, it does offer a chance to connect to someone. I also read for the connection to the author. There are those moments, that I'm sure all avid readers understand, where an author writes something (through a character) that just makes sense. There are those moments where I read something that I thought only I thought about, and I connect to the author and the character at the same time. These moments are a reminder that I'm not alone in how I think and feel. When the world seems cold and uncaring, I read in order to find those moments of connection.
Oh yeah, by the way, part of this post is inspired by the fact that I just finished Eli the Good (again).

Sale price
$ 22.00
Regular price
$ 24.00
[Sky Blue Vinyl, Free US Shipping & Digital Download] – Persuasion System
For nearly a decade, the story of Com Truise has relied on science fiction and abstract fact. Seth Haley's singular style of melodic beat music subsists as hazy machinist nostalgia, a mainframe downloaded cosmology. Yet with each release, alongside sonic refinement, comes an increasingly visible vapor trail to Haley's own ontology. His long-awaited 2017 LP Iteration brought to completion a conceptual space saga while also reflectingseismic life changes for the producer and designer. With mini-LP Persuasion System, Haley leaves the past narrative behind, settling into a new period marked by change - on this planet, in the present - putting forth his most grounded and visceral work to date. Sky Blue variation is limited to 2000 copies worldwide.

Laity in a changing Church
Chaplain Francesca Scorsone gave a delightfully refreshing presentation on the changing Laity in a changing Church at the first Theology on Tap meeting of the New Year on January 14. With humour and a light air, Chaplain Scorsone talked about the changing role of the lay person in the Catholic Church and the emerging lay leadership of the Church.
"The roles [of priest and layperson] are becoming more collaborative," said Scorsone. "Now people look at the laity as a vocation, as a career."
Scorsone found a career as a layperson in the Catholic Church after a turn as a movie and television actor. As Chaplain at All Saints Secondary School and with a Masters of Arts in Theology, Scorsone counsels young people about faith and engages in dialogue about faith and Catholicism at school and social events, "it's all part of the role of a pastoral leader in the community, being that person that someone would talk with about faith."
In telling stories, at times funny and serious, Scorsone showed that her role as a layperson is not just nine to five. She is asked questions about faith and converses about Catholicism, faith and God at all times and in all circumstances, "I'm a Catholic in my life, in the way I vote. I'm not just Catholic for one hour on Sunday." Scorsone encouraged the audience of 35 young people at the Duke of York Pub to think about what it means to be a layperson and have a leadership role in the Church.
"We [the Church] are one body with many parts and today we are charged with finding out what all those parts mean," said Scorsone. She described the four types of laypersons in the Church: lay associations such as the Catholic Women's League or the Knights of Columbus; Catholic workers in communities such as Madonna House and other contemplative orders; the Parish ministries of Lectors, Eucharistic ministers and others; and theologians and academics.
Working together, Scorsone said the Church leadership and the lay leadership can bring about change in the world in fulfilling their collective mission. "The Church and the laity have the same mission – to bring faith to the world," Scorsone said. "If we are support by our Church as lay leaders then we can be effective in our salvific mission to bring Christ to the world."
At the end of the talk, each of us was challenged to live a Catholic life every day, to be a lay leader in our communities. As Scorsone said, "the Church is changing because the laity is changing," and she encouraged us, as like-minded young people already engaged in interaction and faith discussion, to be part of the ongoing reformation of the Church.

Plant Based Paint Making Workshop London 13/04/18March 6, 2018 10:00 am
I would like to share what I am learning about using natural materials within the context of my own work. So during the course of the Fruit Saloon exhibition I will be offering a free workshop on Friday the 13th of April to share some of what I've learned about natural pigments and to create a space for discussion around this subject, an opportunity to explore making natural paints and to have a go at painting with them.
This workshop will coincide with Fruit Saloon exhibition, where i have been looking at natural ingredients for inspiration. So it makes perfect sense that the workshop will involve using natural materials that are easily available in the UK and 100% plant based.
The emphasis is very much on experimentation and a playful use of plant based media. The workshop will provide an opportunity for anyone interested in learning about making their own natural paints.
No prior knowledge or experience required – only enthusiasm, curiosity and a willingness to experiment with natural materials. Please note this workshop is for Adults.
What is included in the workshop:
- Explanation and demonstration of making simple natural paints using foraged or natural materials that are easily available in the UK and suited to making at home.
- An opportunity to have a go at making your own paint and to test these within a small painting.
- A goody bag to take home including 4 colours, plant based binder, recipe cards and ecological paper.
- Basic painting materials will be provided for the workshop.
Time and Place:
Friday 13th of April 7pm pm till 8pm
Create place – 29 OLD FORD ROAD, BETHNAL GREEN, LONDON , E2 9PJ
Booking info:
You can book places to attend this workshop here.
Please note as places are limited, so book early to avoid disappointment.
Please contact email@example.com if you would like further information.

Preview of The Red Ten #2 and Contest
THE RED TEN #2 Hits Select Retailers February 29 and NO ONE is SAFE!
February 10, 2012 — Newburyport, MA — Creator-owned publisher ComixTribe has announced that THE RED TEN #2 will be on the shelves of select comic shops on February 29, 2012. Following up a January launch of SCAM #1 (IGN.com's book of the week), this is the second month in a row ComixTribe will be distributing new material directly to its growing network of retail partners.
"We're having a lot of fun with this," said ComixTribe publisher and THE RED TEN co-creator Tyler James. "We couldn't have asked for a better launch for SCAM, and we're thrilled to follow it up with the next chapter of THE RED TEN. I don't know what the ceiling is on DIY distribution, but considering we're shipping more books in February than we did in January, I can say with confidence that we haven't hit it yet."
THE RED TEN is a superhero re-telling of Agatha Christie's classic whodunit "And Then There Were None." The second issue, written by James and drawn by Cesar Feliciano, sees the "heroes" narrowly escape an explosion that destroyed of one of their own, only to uncover new and deadly horrors await them on the island. The standard edition features a cover by CP Wilson, III (Stuff of Legend.)
Though indie titles are often a tough sell for many retailers, ComixTribe's partner retailers are having success with these titles. "I've had pull requests for both SCAM and THE RED TEN," reports Chris Proulx of Double Midnight Comics in New Hampshire. "That's an excellent sign!" Chris Humphries of Alpha Comics in Canada agreed, reporting "We sold out of SCAM #1 in a week, and nearly sold out of THE RED TEN."
If you missed the THE RED TEN #2 trailer, check it out here: http://youtu.be/gkU5t8kL2xY
1.) Pre-order now from any of the retailers listed below to reserve your copy and pick-up February 29, 2012.
2.) If your retailer is not carrying THE RED TEN #2, PRE-ORDER THE RED TEN #2 now from ComixTribe!
3.) Buy it digitally on February 29, from digital distribution partners, including Graphic.ly, DriveThruComics, MyDigitalComics, and Wowio.

Tell how you are feeling today in the form of a weather report. (For example, partly cloudy, sunny with a chance for showers, etc.)
Gray skies beginning to clear in late afternoon. Bright sunshine a definite possibility for the remainder of the week!
What is most memorable about your high school years?
Swimming. My school had an Olympic sized pool and every year, we got a questionnaire asking us if we could swim. I always said "no." And always got assigned to swimming instead of gym.
I loved swimming and the teacher would look at me and say "you again?" Then she'd send me to the deep end so I wouldn't get in the way of the beginners who were still trying to figure out how to float.
Have you ever owned a rock, pet rock, or gem that is not jewelry?
I have a little bowl of rocks on my headboard (which is also a bookcase).
It has some rose quartz, turquoise, obsidian, granite, some seashells. I also have a little book that tells me what the various vibrations of the stones are. I like having them there. They are very friendly.
But I also really love Navajo jewelry. AND we will be in Arizona next week. Oh boy.
Complete this sentence: I like watching… comedies.
I will watch almost anything that makes me laugh, though I'm not fond of physical comedy or anything where someone is humiliated. I like wit, word play, cleverness. I love parody and spoofs.
Mel Brooks and the Zucker Brothers. And the Marx Brothers, "Night at the Opera" is a favorite.

If so, who > is monopolist? the term "free software" is quite vague, and different people have different ideas - at least in detail - what a free software is. also you can not enforce such a vague term in court. "open source" is by design a trademark, as far as I know, and you may only use it if the trad mark holder gives you permission to do so. as far as I know the open source initiative will give permission to everyone to use their trademark in combination with software that is licensed under some license that is accepted by the open source initiative. the osi will accept every license that meets the open source definition, as far as I know, but I guess the final decission is made by the board. so the chain is vendor -> software -> license -> osi definition -> osi board decission -> granting the right to use "open source" in combination with that software. not: I'm not a lawyer, I'm not a member of osi. only trying to help as good as I know. personaly I like the way "open source" is made a trademark etc., because that way crooks can't misuse it. about the other parts: > "… I believe copyright is not a natural right well, there was none till about 1700 or so? if you want to read up, I can strongly suggest "kicking away the ladder" by Ha-Joon Chang for a historical discussion how and when various ip laws where build, and to what effect. > such open source might become a source of wealth for authors, attract > new authors and therefore increase innovations and speed of development; the basic idea for some people including me is: the transaction cost for distributing money will create a huge amount of work and costs, and thus very small benefits may get to some authors, if at all. take a look at the german royality system for musicians: it is nearly impossible for any musician in germany to be not part of it. but if he is, he has to pay thousands of euro to be allowed to publish his own song as mp3 file on his homepage. unfortunatly if he ever gets some money (for example from the fees on hardware like cd players, tape decks, hard drives, mp3 players etc), it will be most likely cents. and that example doesn't include the stress with all the paperwork. free software is promoted as "free as in freedom". it doesn't have to be gratis when you buy it. but it includes the freedom to give copies to other people without fees or paperwork (well, except those restrictions in the gpl, but fullfilling those is quite easy). open source has the same base, it includes "redistribute for free". it is good that way. once I did cd images for debian, and tried to include non-free software as alternative, if allowed. for example latex2html - as far as I remember - included a restriction: they wanted 2 free copies when someone sells cds. clearly they thought of huge companies like suse or imagemagic that sold hundrets of thousands of cds. but the text of the license covered every cd sold. so if I burned a cd for a friend, and he invited me for a drink to cover my cost, then I would have to burn to extra cds to send to those guys. also if someone would have burned 10 copies for his local user group - he would be requires to send two copies to the latex2html guys etc. well, that clearly wasn't what they had intended, and they changed their license once confronted with the bizarre situation. (apologies if I remember the wrong software by mistake.) from my point of view this example shows how even the smalles obligation beyond the usual free software / open source licenses can lead to a huge amount of work. to burn a dvd you need to check the license files of thousends of packages. or in my case to manage an open source project I need to know the license of every single file included or used by the software. well, maybe I made some small mistake, and tomorrow morning I will get a cease&desist letter from the lawyers of some big company for misusing their code we reused? might happen. whether to use software on my servers, give it to friends or customers or include it in a distribution or use the code in my projects: I want code with a license where I will not expect any trouble or work. both the debian free software license as well the open source definition and the usual licenses - mit/bsd(3), lgpl, gpl - do a very good job at giving me that. of course you can argue how a different license group might offer more with only small extra work. but from my point of view that is not what the people interested in open source and/or free software are looking for. they don't want "only small problems/paperwork/fees/...", they want none, and have good reasons to. well, so much from an interested outsider. sorry to everyone for spamming this list. again: I'm not a lawyer and not a member of the board or anything related to the osi or fsf or debian or anything, only speeking for myself.

Book: Sometimes It Happens
Author: Karan Sharma
Genre: Romance Fiction
Published by: Srishti Publishers
Number of pages: 154 pages
My Rating: 4/5
MY REVIEW: The author Karan Sharma ensured that I get a copy of the book in exchange for an honest review.
Gautam is a handsome twenty five year old working in a multinational bank. He finds himself drawn to Roshni, one of his seniors working in the same bank. Gautam and Roshni meet several times and find themselves attracted to each other. There is only one problem: Roshni is considerably older than Gautam, in fact she is twelve years older than him.
Definitely both Gautam and Roshni have doubts about their relationship and whether it will last the course of time. Both of their friends try to make them see the negative aspects of their romance. How will Gautam's family react when they find out about their age difference?
Will their love story have a happy ending? Will their love overcome all the practical difficulties their relationship is bound to face? The reader will have to read the book to find that out.
The author has chosen an unusual but extremely relevant topic for today's times as such type of May-December relationships are taking place more frequently than before.
Sometimes It Happens is recommended as a modern and unusual love story that will appeal to lovers of romance novels.

Nothing bonds man and dog more than a hunt. You work in harmony to stalk, bring down and retrieve your prey. When the sun is out, the morning is quiet and all that can be heard is the quiet breathing of yourself and your canine companion, it's a feeling of tranquility that is hard to top. One thing you need from your bird dog, though, is obedience and control. If your bird dog can't heel, he will scare off every bird in the vicinity, before you even get a chance to aim.
If your bird dog can heel and stay calmly by your side, you can creep up as close as possible to your prey, increasing your chances of a successful hit, and the chances of your dog being able to retrieve your catch. So, if you want the real Scooby and Shaggy partnership, then training your bird dog to heel is a must!
It's just one word, so you'd think 'heel' would be an easy command to teach, right? If only! When dogs get outside, their environment becomes a world of irresistible smells and dirty puddles that need to be laid in. Fortunately, bird dogs are usually pretty obedient, partly due to their breeds. Retrievers, for example, are fast learners.
If your bird dog is a puppy then teaching him to heel will take less time as younger dogs are usually more receptive. You will need a bit more patience with older bird dogs, so be prepared to invest at least several weeks into this training. It is vital to persist, though, if you want an effective prey retriever!
The command itself is simple, but it is accompanying it with the leash movements and positive reinforcements that is time-consuming, not to mention keeping your pooch on task and away from distractions.
Before you begin training, make sure you have some quiet outside space, free from distractions. You will also need a slip leash or normal leash, and possibly a harness if your bird dog is large and strong.
It is also worth stocking up on his favorite food or treats. You will use this to incentivize and reward him.
The only other thing you need is time and the patience of a saint! Once you've got all those bits together, you're ready to whip your bird dog into shape.

How Far Apart Do You Plant Daylilies? The versatility, beauty and ease of maintenance of daylilies make them very popular with gardeners of all levels. These are stunning flowers that can add beauty and colour to any outdoor area. However, in order to make the most of daylilies you need to make sure that they are properly planted and maintained. When it comes to maintenance, these plants require minimal effort, as daylilies are extremely hardy once they are established to your climate temperatures, growing in your Australian garden, they will largely look after themselves. However, when you are planting daylily roots you do need to bear a few things in mind in order to enable your new daylilies to flourish. One of the key considerations you have to take into account when it comes to planting daylilies is how far apart you should plant them. It is important to remember that they will need room to grow and flourish so don't be tempted to try and cram them in as closely as possible. In fact, you need to pay special attention to the distance you leave between each plant in order to ensure that you give them adequate room to grow. When you are digging holes for your daylilies, you should make sure that you dig them a couple of inches wider and deeper than the plants root systems. In addition, you need to make sure you leave around one and a half feet between each of the holes. This will make sure that your newly planted daylilies are not only at the right distance apart but also the correct depth. Other considerations when planting daylilies There are a number of other im Read More...

Different Types Of Daylilies
Different Types of Daylilies. Daylilies are a hugely popular choice amongst gardening enthusiasts of all levels, as they offer a range of benefits in addition to helping you to create a stunning outdoor area. The daylily has evolved dramatically over the years and from the traditional daylily there are now many different variations and hybrid options, which means that you can now get these beautiful flowers in a wide range of colours and patterns to suit your tastes and preferences. They are also available in different heights, so you can mix and match to create a wonderful and colourful display in your garden or outdoor area. Different Variations to Consider In addition to the colour and the size of the many different daylily plants that you can choose from these days, there are a number of variations that are centred around the foliage during the winter. This can impact on how hardy the plants are and whether they are suited to hot or cold areas. The variations include: Dormant: With dormant plants you can benefit from a higher level of hardiness. The leaves of these plants turn yellow or brown during the autumn but can be removed from the crown with ease. The plant will then remain dormant over the course of the winter until spring rolls around. Evergreens: While most people prefer evergreens, the truth is deep down, they are the least hardy of all these plants, and tend not to cope as well when it comes to extreme winter conditions, when they may end up freezing and then thawing repeatedly. This is why it is always advisable to add mulch in potential problem area Read More...

Building a startup for what you want it to become 5: exit strategies and goal directed strategy and planning
This is my fifth installment to a series on building a business that can become an effective and even a leading participant in its industry and its business sector, and for its targeted marketplaces (see Startups and Early Stage Businesses, postings 186 and loosely following for Parts 1-4.)
I began discussing exit strategies in Part 4 in this series, and I will continue that discussion here. Then after that I will move on to consider startups and early stage businesses that would seek to offer the disruptively, innovatively new and novel, rather than simply breaking into more established markets. And as a part of that, I will discuss what innovation means in this context. But before I do so I am going to more fully consider what exit strategies actually are. And in that regard I note that this term tends to be confusing, as it is used in at least two often fundamentally distinct ways, depending on who is using it. More specifically, an exit strategy can refer to:
• A strategically planned out process in which an owner divests themselves of a business, and regardless of its stage of development (a divestiture exit strategy.)
Or alternatively this term can be used to designate:
• A strategically planned out transition with a perhaps even fundamental strategic shift that occurs when a business moves between stages of its development (a development stage-driven exit strategy.)
I began discussing development stage-driven exit strategies as they arise in startup and early stage business contexts in my earlier series: Understanding and Navigating Burn Rate: a startup primer (see Startups and Early Stage Businesses, postings 67-78.) And specifically see these two installments from that series:
• Part 11: exit strategies and their implications and consequences 1 and
• Part 12: exit strategies and their implications and consequences 2
I will turn back to more directly consider exit strategies in a startup context in this installment, but before doing so I want to clarify this discussion by at least briefly delving into both approaches to understanding and using that term. And I begin that with a straight divestiture exit strategy example, and for an established small business.
The business that I would consider here might be a single attorney law firm with an established practice and client base. It might be a single practitioner medical doctor's or a dentist's office. But in any case, and to keep this example simple and clear-cut, consider a trusted professional with a small but successful business and a reliable ongoing repeat business customer base. And this professional is getting on in years and is approaching a point in their life when they want to move on from their work and retire. What are their assets, and particularly their assets that might be of particular business value to a younger professional who would seek to open their own business? What does this soon to retire professional hold as business assets that they could sell off, for a profit that would go into their retirement funds?
• Their client base is one obvious source of at least potentially sellable value. How transferable is this, from one practitioner to another? How much effort would the outgoing business owner expend in helping a prospective buyer of this business to effectively retain its pool of established clients?
• As a second source of potentially transferable good will, does this outgoing practitioner/business owner have solid working relations with supply chain partners and for business supplies, new business referrals or other value creating accommodations? To pick up on office supplies, or required business consumables in general, has this business entered into agreements that would offer better prices or faster delivery or other benefits? And can they be transferred over to a new business owner as part of a business sale?
• Does this retiring business owner have reciprocal referral sharing arrangements with fellow professionals, and could this be made transferable through networking assistance and introductions?
• How easy would it be for a new owner, and perhaps newcomer to the area to match these sources of value, and how long would this take them? If you look at this in terms of marketing and related costs for building comparable systems of relationships from scratch, plus loss of potential revenue over the period in which these business-supportive relationships are being built, as measured against prudent expectations of revenue that might be expected from buying these resources, how much would these good will sources of value be worth to a business buyer who seeks to take over an established firm, or alternatively start from scratch?
• Research is important here, where a prospective business buyer needs to have three realistic scenarios in mind when, for example, calculating the value of buying a client list as part of making a business acquisition and practice takeover. How many of a selling business owner's client list, as a percentage, are likely to stay on through a business ownership transition of this sort and how many would be expected to drop away and move on to deal with a competitor? Use a standard three-scenario approach here with a normative scenario, a worst acceptable case scenario and a best realistically possible case scenario and with all of these alternative possibilities thought through in some detail and with all of them based on comparable business ownership transfers. (Here, I mean "as arguably comparable as possible" and for location and the type of community setting in place, practice size and specialization and so on.)
• Get to know this person who is selling their business. I have seen this type of transaction succeed where the seller did in fact act in good faith and help, for example, their successor in business ownership retain as many of its established customers as possible. But I have also seen at least one situation develop where the business seller in fact actively spoke out against the buyer – he was ambivalent about divesting from "his baby" and acted out on that to the detriment of all.
• Know what this seller actually thinks about this divestiture and about making the life changes that it will lead to. If they are ambivalent about this, and certainly if they come across as even just slightly resentful of the prospect of losing their business, any potential buyer should beware. And even if they do end up buying this business and taking it over, they need to know up-front precisely what they are and are not buying and they need to make sure that they are getting what they have explicitly paid for and particularly for those perhaps all-important nontangible assets.
• And of course any tangible assets have to be considered here too, including the office space that this business occupies and the building it is in and whether they are owned by the seller and would be included in the sale, or rented and if so on what terms. Would rent or lease terms be transferable, and if not what would the new costs of this be? What about renovation? What would be needed and at what likely costs, and if this is a rental property who would pay for what portions of it and how would this capital improvement impact upon lease terms? (Once again, at least two or three bids should be sought out and with all of the due diligence effort in selecting bidders that would be called for when planning out any significant renovation job.) And that only partly addresses one possible area of the overall physical assets list that might be under consideration, where specialized office equipment and more, might also be up for discussion.
I could just as easily have selectively dissected out some of the working parts of a business acquisition into an already established acquiring business here, and particularly where the original owner(s) and leadership of the acquired business are leaving after this transition, and whether that would be immediately or after the end of an agreed to transition period. Divestiture exit strategies can and do arise in any of a wide variety of ways. And one point they all have in common is that transitioning them always requires carefully planned out strategy and operational execution and on the part of both buyer and seller.
That last detail: the need for carefully planned out strategy and operational execution applies just as fully to development stage-driven exit strategies too, and I pick up on my earlier-cited discussion of these events with that in mind. And I begin that with a brief four scenario list of transition goals that a startup or early stage business builder and owner might pursue, that I initially offered in my above-cited earlier series in its Part 11 where a founder and owner might seek to:
1. Maintain their business themselves as a privately held, wholly owned entity.
2. Go public with it as an initial public offering (IPO).
3. Sell their business for incorporation into another, probably larger business through merger and acquisition processes – building an M&A target of opportunity.
4. Bring in angel and/or venture capital investors for accelerated growth out of early stage and into what would be hoped to be significant profitability.
First the obvious:
• Three of these scenarios (numbers 1, 2 and 4) involve the founding owners staying on and as leaders of their new businesses, with the remaining (number 3) represents a divestiture scenario where a startup founder or group of such founders would seek to build a source of value and then move on from it, profits in hand for their risk taking efforts.
• Two of these four scenarios involve owners relinquishing what can be significant portions of control and decision making authority in exchange for externally sourced funds that can be used for business growth and development (2 and 4.)
• There (in Scenario 2), when a business goes public and takes on shareholder investors it has to meet whole new sets of legal and regulatory oversight requirements and it has to follow new sets of ongoing due diligence-supportive business practices as well.
• And when a business brings in angel and/or venture capital investors to accelerate its growth and development (as in Scenario 4), its founders and owners have to relinquish at least selective and agreed to levels and types of control in exchange for this funding. And this at least traditionally holds particularly strongly when that business seeks to bring in higher investment level (e.g. venture capital) investors who generally require board membership and who also often want a voice in selecting key members of the business' executive team (e.g. their choice of Chief Financial Officer.)
All of these scenarios and others that can and do also arise have at least one key point in common. If you want to pursue one of them as a long-term goal when setting up your new business from its day one, you need to prioritize what you build in that business accordingly, and when. Just to pick one detail for each of the four, by way of example:
1. If you want to pursue scenario 1 from above, you need to build for all-around strength and stability. And that includes building and maintaining reserves as would be needed for what might be slower than expected initial growth.
2. If you want to pursue an IPO you need to build with priorities that can facilitate development of early marketplace buzz and marketing strength; you need to build with a goal of both proving your new business is stable, and with a goal of marketing it as a break-away value as an investment.
3. Scenario 3 of my above numbered list calls for a type of selective business development and business marketing approach too, so in some respects this is like Scenario 2. But here, your focus is not on drawing in large and small-scale shareholder investors who would buy in and then wait to see if they want to hold onto these shares or not. It is on building with some certain type of overall business buyer in mind, or even with some specific single business in mind that might be brought to acquire this new venture as a whole. If this is your goal as a startup founder, you need to build what you can present as a unique, and I add uniquely valuable new innovative capability – that you can market to potential acquiring businesses as a capability that they will need to have in-house, and before their competitors can gain it. Many small cutting edge technology startups take on this exit strategy goal for its potential quick profitability and even if they do not explicitly start that way from their earliest pre-build planning discussions. It is always possible to at least work towards transitioning from a Scenario 1 or from a Scenario 2 approach to this, as a new business forms and as opportunities faced through it become clearer. (Note: businesses acquire smaller businesses for a variety of reasons, but startups and early stage businesses rarely have market reach expanding customer bases or other established business qualities that would make them great potential acquisitions; if they are good acquisition targets it is essentially always because of innovations that they might be able to offer.)
4. And pursuing Scenario 4 means knowing what types of due diligence requirements outside investors would require, and knowing how they would impact on the running of and development of a new business. And more importantly, and particularly for working with venture capitalists, business founders need to know and understand their prospective investor partners' exit strategies too, and how a founder's and an investor's exit strategy might differ – and particularly where a founder wants to take a long term perspective in building business value where an outside investor might be looking for more of a quick profit. Here, a new business founder who wants to build towards bringing in outside investor support, has to build their new venture with a goal of bringing any investors who might become involved in this, into agreement and alignment with them for the goals and priorities as to where this business would go. This scenario is in some significant respects like Scenario 3, insofar as you as a founder need to know your potential outside investors as one of your core due diligence requirements, just as a pursuer of Scenario 3 has to know their potential acquiring businesses. And in both cases, the more you have already developed your new business and the more solid value you already have in place in it, the more favorable the terms you can reach in coming to agreement with these outside forces.
I am going to turn to consider innovation in my next series installment, as noted above towards the top of this installment. Meanwhile, you can find this and related material at my Startups and Early Stage Businesses directory.

A while back I felt that my header has gotten too long for my blog it took up most of the screen as it was almost 500 pixels in height and therefore I enslaved my younger sister #4 (a.k.a. N) to come up with a new concept. I tried to make my own but she thought it was too cluttered and worked her magic on it.
The vision is cleaner this time with a retina display ready image, it looks that much sharper and better. It might take a bit longer to load but that's the price I have to pay I guess. Sister #4 wasn't the only one who contributed to this header the main contribution and the re-vision of it was a product of my father's artistic eyes. He gave us the pointers to shift something to the left or to the right and change things around.
Now that everything has a cleaner place what do you think of this upgrade?
I personally find it a vast improvement than the previous one with more focus on the couch, because in reality that's where all my laziness takes place. I procrastinate life on that couch and well I think anyone who visits procrastinates there too.
So, thanks Daddy and Sister #4 for all your help it was very useful and yes I may be a beast when it comes to picking things left and right but in the end the result is brilliant!
So if you are reading my blog on a MacBook Pro with Retina Display you will notice that the text is extremely crisp and sharp, you will also notice different bits and pieces, some images are retina display ready whereas a few aren't (i.e. the Banner Image, Sidebar ones). I spent all of yesterday upgrading my theme and fixing bits and pieces in it.
One of the major fixes is the fact that I have changed the font for the posts and I am now using "Avenir" one of the newest fonts available for Mountain Lion and it's simply gorgeous. A beautiful Sans Serif font. I am working on a revamped header, which will take less space up above so stay tuned for it.
So what do you think so far of the tiny minor changes?
Late Saturday evening I received a wonderful surprise! At around 6PM Lujain calls me up at work and tells me that something cool just arrived, I was shocked and interested and asked her what it was, she told me all that was written on the box was "Madame Sucre" and my name. I asked her to take a picture but she wouldn't and told me to just hurry home and see for myself!
"Have patience" she actually told me. So the moment I was done with preparing my pages I rushed home to see that it was a huge lovely cake from my favorite peeps over at Zain!
The awesome people at Zain Kuwait took my "8th Blog-o-versary" image and turned it into a lovely Red velvet cake! Needless to say after snapping endless shots I dug in with the family and enjoyed a delicious piece of it. Now how will I ever finish this cake LOL! :P
Sometimes it helps to push yourself to the point where you achieve more and more and that is what I am hoping to do lately. The start of this new year on my blog has me thinking of many things one of them is being more active, writing more, making the posts a bit shorter and definitely sweeter and getting rid of that lazy bug once and for all! So what better way is there than to prepare posts in advance, write every crazy thought that comes to mind, share and share some more, and definitely get these fingers tap dancing on that keyboard churning out jems.
Of course one important thing I will strive to maintain and that is:
Quality over quantity.
I will never sacrifice the quality of the post just for the sake of filling up the space available! Thus I hope you wish me luck and bear with me, I will try to figure out the ideal number of posts to publish per day but I promise it will definitely not be more than a maximum of 5, I personally go nuts if I see something more than that on a blog because I try to catch up with them daily. Once that is done, I will definitely reward myself with something awesome! :P Mama needs some new shiny toys!
So for those of you just tuning in, buckle your seatbelts and get ready for the ride of your life.

To understand someone, one has to walk a day in their shoes and what better way than to give you a glimpse into every celebration I ever had not to mention share with you the very first post ever! So here are the eight faces of Jacqui, the beauty of a thing called archiving and previous posts:
The Beginning May 17th, 2004
Post Title: Screwed in Wong Town
Hmmm The title is Screwed in Wong Town hehe basically i was screwed today :r not literally but metaphorically speaking.. kalait khara ib what i had to do :r o check it out: Last night nemt at 4am and woke up at 8am bl ghasob :r Had classes at 9 till 3 .. I was ok.. Had to pick up siblings at 3:30 then take 'em home.. no brobrem :r Then had to take siblings back to school to attend a concert that my other sister was in.. that started at 7 … Finished at 8:30 had to then go to my granma howse and pick up maid.. :r who didn't come till 10 :r but what was funny on trip to granma howse it took 30 mins when it shoulda taken 5 bekause of trafic :r den.. dere was dis trip home.. i reached my room at 10:30pm :r that's when i had a chance to relax :r So I guess yea I wasn't that screwed after all.. oh yea did I mention i got 2 papers that i gotta turn in on wednesday hehe that i haven't started either and i was meaning to start one today :r yea it was a normal day today :r
One thing I learned about this post is that I had a major liking to the emoticon ":r" and at the time used both english and "arabglish" (also known as writing arabic using english letters) and basically documenting my life. I was a beginner and did not know what was going on.
The time has come, it is officially May 17th, 2012 and that my friends means that this humble little blog has finally turned 8 years old! Hip Hip Hoooraaaaay!
Wow, eight years of blogging, I have never in my life thought that I would stick this through and write for all those years. You know how when we're young we go to the Stationary Bookstore and see those diaries waiting there to be purchased you feel tempted you pick one up and head to the cashier saying that this is the year where you will finally jot down your deepest most thoughtful memories? After a week or two of writing in that diary you feel stupid and just stop and it gets lost in your room forgotten and left to collect cobwebs? Well I for one was one of those people, until this day I keep on buying empty diaries hoping to write in them but I just either forget or find out I'm too lazy.
This blog is a similar outlet it's like a small diary you just purchased but instead of it being there with no voice and spirit this blog has that (I'm not sure if that sentence made sense) what I'm trying to say ever single thought, memory, love, hate, like, dislike, link, video, song, anything and everything shared here was shared with the entire world. A glimpse into my inner thoughts was seen an interaction was given sometimes I made this blog into a living object and I carried out conversations with it and thus it never got boring or stale. I admit I neglected it a few years back but then again life was insane at that time.
But now, I'm back to being happy, I'm back to being a version of me that I thought I had lost. I am happy and glad that I have this time capsule that helps me get through those cold dreary days. To all my readers who spent every single year here reading bits and pieces from my life, I thank you! I thank you for the wonderful comments for the silent readers, for everything really because without the encouragement and thought that someone out there might be depending on me to share something that might affect their lives I would've probably given up. I thank the new bloggers whom I've met courtesy of the social gatherings set by different companies. I thank the companies for establishing these gatherings and allowing people to interact with each other. We used to be faces behind computers and now we are out there and better than ever.
I want to thank my family and friends for believing me and supporting me through everything (woah why does this sound like an Oscar acceptance speech, hehe I'd like to thank my manager woops wrong bit here) No but seriously thank you for being my #1 fans, I would most importantly like the person who got me into blogging an old dear friend who no longer blogs or is active on the scene Zeecu. I want to thank my dearest old buddies Nibaq who created the first ever Kuwait Blog Aggregator, Safat; Purgatory one of the craziest bloggers of our time; Mark and his wife Nat as well as his amazing awesome sister Rampurple for being the ones who helped and supported this place, Tooomz one of my craziest friends, Q80ChillGirl, I'd like to thank every old blogger who has stopped blogging or remained a blogger, Frankom one of the peeps of my generation, Swair, Symbols (a.k.a. Sou), my bestest friend in the whole wide world Ananyah, Marzouq, my newest best friend Swera, among many many other people. If I am to sit here mentioning each and every name you will be reading until tomorrow.
In short, thank you for these eight wonderful years I hope to see many more to come and who knows I wish to see me celebrating the big 10, 20, 30! Thank you all and I bid you a Goodnight!
P.S. The reason I forget names is because I'm *cough*old*cough* Seriously :s
There is a saying that kind of goes "You don't know what you've got until you've lost it…" or something like that. That's exactly what I went through these past two days. I was hit by a problem on my website that basically put me out of service for two full days! I didn't know what it was and I didn't even know how to solve it until I contacted my host and someone there finally helped me out!
It appears to be I used up my alloted memory that was assigned to my website and had a huge load on the site. Fortunately though this will be solved soon by fixing bits and pieces in the website. I appear to have a lot of plugins running some of which not that important really. Will look towards removing them completely.
But it feels great to be back up and running. God I was itching to write a post every minute of my downtime but I kept feeling frustrated because I couldn't do that! I did however write two drafts and saved them so might publish one today while the other sometime later on. I just can't believe that I can finally BREATHE again!
Welcome back child!

Kenya, a republic in East Africa, is a member of the Commonwealth of Nations. Kenya has a varied landscape of plateaus and high mountains and is home to many different ethnic groups. Formerly a British colony, Kenya gained independence in 1963 and has been a republic since 1964. It is bounded on the north by Sudan and Ethiopia, on the east by Somalia and the Indian Ocean, on the south by Tanzania, and on the west by Lake Victoria and Uganda. Nairobi is the country's capital and largest city.
The People of Kenya:
Kenya's population at the time of the 1999 census was 28,686,607. In 2004 the population was estimated at 32,021,856. Population density is 56 persons per sq km (146 per sq mi). Kenya experienced very high population growth rates in the 1970s and 1980s, but by 2004 the rate of increase had declined to 1.1 percent. In 2004 Kenya's birth rate was estimated at 28 per 1,000 and its death rate at 16 per 1,000. The average life expectancy at birth in Kenya is 45 years. The low life expectancy and years of high birth rates have combined to give Kenya a young population: 41 percent of the people were younger than age 15 in 2004.
Some 65 percent of Kenya's population lives in rural areas, most concentrated in the fertile southern half of the country. The country's largest cites are Nairobi, the capital and chief manufacturing center; Mombasa, the nation's principal seaport; and Kisumu, the chief port on Lake Victoria. Smaller cities include Nakuru, a commercial and manufacturing center in the Eastern Rift Valley; and Eldoret, an industrial center in western Kenya.
Ethnic Groups:
Masai Village, Kenya This traditional boma, or village, of the nomadic Masai people is located in southern Kenya. The huts are constructed in a circle, a traditional defensive practice. The stick structure in the center of the boma is a corral for livestock.Everen T.
Nearly all Kenyans are black Africans, divided into more than 40 ethnic groups belonging to three linguistic families: the Bantu, the Cushitic, and the Nilotic (see African Languages). Language traditionally has been the primary characteristic of ethnic identity in Kenya. Bantu-speaking Kenyans are divided into three different groups: the western group (Luhya); the central, or highlands, group (including the Kikuyu, the Kamba, and other subgroups); and the coastal Bantu (Mijikenda). Among Kenya's Nilotic speakers, the major groups are the River-Lake, or Western, group (Luo); the Highlands, or Southern, group (Kalenjin); and the Plains, or Eastern, group (Masai). The Cushitic-speaking groups include the Oromo and the Somali. The Kikuyu, who make up 21 percent of the population, are Kenya's largest ethnic group. The next largest are the Luhya (14 percent), the Luo (12 percent), the Kamba (11 percent), and the Kalenjin (11 percent).
For much of Kenya's history, its ethnic groups were loose social formations, fluid and constantly changing. In the late 19th and early 20th centuries British colonial rule solidified ethnic identities among Kenya's people. Colonial administrators associated ethnic groups with specific areas of the country by designating areas where only people with a particular ethnic identity could reside. This pattern of ethnically based settlement has persisted in Kenya since it became independent, even though economic and political development has increased mobility and urbanization among the country's inhabitants. Thus, the majority of Kikuyu live in south central Kenya, the majority of Luhya in western Kenya, the majority of Luo in southwestern Kenya, the majority of Kamba in east central Kenya, and the majority of Kalenjin in west central Kenya. Ethnicity also has been an important factor in Kenyan politics.
Language and Religion:
Kenya's official languages are English and Swahili; both are widely used for communication between members of different ethnic groups. Nearly all of the African ethnic groups in Kenya also have their own languages, making for considerable linguistic diversity within the country. Many Kenyans thus speak three languages: the language of their particular ethnic group, Swahili, and English.
About 76 percent of Kenya's population is Christian, with Protestants outnumbering Roman Catholics. Muslims make up about 7 percent of the population. The remainder of Kenya's people are mainly followers of traditional African religions. There are also a small number of Hindus and Sikhs.
Way of Life:
Thatch House, Kenya Inhabitants of a village in southern Kenya put the finishing touches on a new circular thatch dwelling. To build these houses, thatch must be attached in layers to a frame made of wood. The floor inside is made of dried mud.Hutchison Library
Most Kenyans place great importance on the family and the traditional values and responsibilities associated with it. Kenyan families tend to be large, and households often include many members of the extended family. Polygyny (the practice of having multiple wives) exists to some extent among all social classes and ethnic groups. Many of Kenya's rural inhabitants live on small farms; some live in houses made of mud and wooden poles with thatched roofs, while others live in houses of brick or stone with metal roofs. A small number are nomadic livestock herders, notably some of the Masai people in the south and the Turkana in the north. City dwellers who are wealthy or middle class typically live in modern houses and apartment buildings; however, many other city dwellers live in shantytowns or other inexpensive quarters.
Traditional Dress in Kenya These members of a Nilotic tribe in Samburu, Kenya, are wearing traditional clothing. The men wear solid bright red fabrics; the women have vivid designs on their clothing and collars made of roped beads. Jewelry plays an important role in traditional African dress.Bridgeman Art Library, London/New York/Eric Meacher/Link
Kenya's most popular sport is soccer, and Kenyan runners have gained worldwide renown. Many Kenyans occupy leisure time with traditional music and dance. The overwhelming majority of the Kenyan people dress in Western-style clothing; however, some rural Kenyans wear traditional vibrantly colored or patterned garb, such as the single piece of cloth?often bright red in color?worn by the Masai.rn
rnrnKenya's ethnic diversity has produced a variety and richness of cultural forms that reflect African, Asian, and European influences. Visual arts are not highly important in contemporary Kenya, although varieties of wood and clay sculpture are produced for the tourist trade.
rnNatural Regions:
rnrnMount Kenya is an extinct volcano in central Kenya. At 5,199 m (17,057 ft) tall, it is the second tallest mountain in Africa.. Kenya is covered with volcanic rock that is split by faults, especially in the west.
rnThe Eastern Rift of the Great Rift Valley appears in Kenya as a massive depression, as wide as 50 to 65 km (30 to 40 mi) in some places, with cliffs reaching 900 m (3,000 ft) in height.rnrn
rnThe country falls into several topographical zones extending from sea level upward to lofty mountain ranges with elevations of more than 3,000 m (10,000 ft). In the southeast, Kenya's coastline measures 536 km (333 mi) in length and is fringed with coral reefs. It is bordered by a narrow coastal plain dotted with tropical forests. From the coast, the terrain rises to a series of low plateaus that cover most of eastern and northern Kenya and range in elevation from about 150 to 1,000 m (about 500 to 3,000 ft).rnrn
rnThe region west of the plateaus, known as the Kenya highlands, consists of a series of higher plateaus, ranging from about 900 to 2,000 m (about 3,000 to 5,000 ft). Bisected from north to south by the Eastern Rift Valley, the Kenya highlands are divided into the Mau Escarpment on the east side of the Eastern Rift Valley and the Aberdare Range on the west side.rnrn
rnThe Aberdare ranges are marked by numerous extinct volcanoes, the highest of which are Mount Kenya (5,199 m/17,057 ft) in central Kenya, and Mount Elgon (4,321 m/14,177 ft) on the country's western border. In the far west is the lower Lake Victoria basin, which includes the hilly regions to the north and south of Winam Gulf. Although earth tremors are felt periodically in Kenya's highlands, the country has experienced no volcanic activity or serious earthquakes over the past several centuries.rn
rnRivers and Lakes:
rnrnKenya's largest lake, excluding Lake Victoria on its western border, is Lake Turkana, in the northwest. Smaller lakes?including Lake Baringo, Lake Nakuru, Lake Naivahsa, and Lake Magadi?lie in or near the Eastern Rift. The country's major rivers include the Tana and Galana (known as the Athi in its upper course) in the east, and the Kerio, Turkwel, and Nzoia in the west. Parts of each of these rivers are navigable by small vessels, but only the Tana is used by larger boats. Except for the Tana and some of its tributaries, most Kenyan rivers have not been used extensively for irrigation.
rnPlant and Animal Life:
rnrnGame Preserve in Kenya A giraffe towers over zebras on the savanna of a Kenyan game preserve. Home to many endangered species of wildlife, the African republic of Kenya shelters its wild animals in game preserves and national parks. Kenya outlawed hunting in 1977, but poachers continue to hunt many of these commercially valuable animals. Tourists can observe and photograph the animals in safaris through the parks and preserves.
rnKenya contains diverse plant life. Along the Indian Ocean coast are forests containing palm, mangrove, teak, and sandalwood trees. Baobab, euphorbia, and acacia trees dot the lowland plateaus, while extensive tracts of savanna (grassland), interspersed with groves of acacia and some temperate forests, characterize the terrain of the highlands up to about 3,000 m (about 9,000 ft). The higher alpine zone contains giant senecio and lobelia shrubs.rnrn
rnKenya is known for the great variety of its wildlife and is especially famous for its big game animals associated with the African savanna. The major big game species include elephants, rhinoceroses, zebras, giraffes, and lions and other large cats. Although many of these species are protected in national parks and game reserves, hunters have severely reduced the number of large mammals in Kenya, particularly elephants and rhinoceroses. Kenya's rhinoceroses are critically endangered. Birds?including ostriches, flamingos, and vultures?abound in Kenya, as do reptiles such as pythons, mambas, and cobras.rn
rnrnKenya's different topographical regions experience distinct climates. The coastal region is largely humid and wet. The city of Malindi, for instance, receives an average rainfall of 1,050 mm (41 in) per year, with average temperatures ranging from 21° to 32°C (70° to 90°F) in January and 20° to 29°C (68° to 84°F) in July. The low plateau area is the driest part of the country. There, the town of Wajir receives an average annual rainfall of 320 mm (13 in) and experiences average temperatures ranging from 19° to 37°C (66° to 99°F) in January and 19° to 34°C (66° to 93°F) in July. Nairobi, in the temperate Kenya highlands, receives an average annual rainfall of 790 mm (31 in) and experiences average temperatures ranging from 9° to 29°C (48° to 84°F) in January and 7° to 26°C (45° to 79°F) in July. Higher elevation areas within the highlands receive much larger amounts of rainfall. The Lake Victoria basin in western Kenya is generally the wettest region in the country, particularly the highland regions to the north and south of Kisumu, where average annual rainfall ranges from 1,740 mm (70 in) to 1,940 mm (80 in). Average temperatures in this region range from 14° to 34°C (57° to 93°F) in January and 14° to 30°C (57° to 86°F) in July.
rnRainfall occurs seasonally throughout most of Kenya. The coast, eastern plateaus, and lake basin experience two rainy seasons: the "long rains" extends roughly from March to June, and the "short rains" lasts from approximately October to December. The highlands of western Kenya have a single rainy season, lasting from March to September. All parts of the country are subject to periodic droughts, or delays in the start of the rainy seasons. Kenya's climate has had a profound effect on settlement patterns, as for centuries population has been concentrated in the wettest areas of the country.rn
rnTourism and other Services:
rnrnThe service sector accounts for 65 percent of Kenya's GDP. This includes the various services provided by the government and the increasingly important restaurant, hotel, and safari industries, which have grown in response to the increasing number of tourists visiting Kenya.
rnTourism in Kenya has expanded dramatically since 1963, and since 1989 it has been the country's leading source of foreign currency. Tourist arrivals, mainly from Europe and North America, numbered 838,000 in 2001. Kenya's main tourist destinations are the beaches along the Indian Ocean coast; national parks and game reserves, such as Tsavo National Park and Amboseli National Park; and museums and historical sites.
rnKenya has the most industrially developed economy in East Africa. The manufacturing sector has grown significantly since the 1960s. In 2002 industry, which includes mining and construction, contributed 19 percent of GDP. Kenya's chief manufactures include food products, beverages, cigarettes, textiles and clothing, cement, rubber products, transport equipment, printed materials, and petroleum and other chemicals.
rnMining employs only a small number of Kenya's workers. The main minerals produced are soda ash from Lake Magadi, fluorite, salt, and limestone products. The government is also seeking to exploit titanium and zircon deposits on the coast of the Indian Ocean.rn
rnrnKenya has one of the most extensive transportation networks in East Africa. Railways connect the major cities, and the country's road network is substantial, although more than 80 percent of roads are unpaved. Mombasa is Kenya's major seaport and serves Uganda and Rwanda as well. Kisumu is the major port on Lake Victoria. River transport is not extensive. International airports are located at Nairobi, Mombasa, and Eldoret. Kenya Airways is the national airline. The main forms of public transportation in Kenya are buses, matatus (minibuses), and taxis.
rnCurrency and Banking:
rnrnKenya's basic unit of currency is the Kenyan shilling, consisting of 100 cents (78.7 Kenyan shillings equal US$1; 2002 average). Currency is issued by the Central Bank of Kenya, established in Nairobi in 1966. An extensive network of commercial banks, both locally and foreign-owned, serves most of Kenya's urban areas. The Nairobi Stock Exchange serves the whole country.

Courses & Syllabi
EDUC 333. Video Games and Learning
Credits: 3
Why are video games fun? The answer isn't as obvious as you might think. Good games draw you in, teach you how to succeed, and keep you engaged with a "just right" level of challenge. Most importantly, players *learn* while playing a well-designed game. Why isn't school like that? This class takes a hard look at video games, a hard look at education, and considers ways that each can be improved to maximize learning.

Like last year, our shelter covered the meanwhile well-known Beachvolley deluxe volleyball tournament/party.
This year we raised our large (32mx53m) shelter above the sand. During the day the 30°C sun was blocked so everyone could go all the way to win the tournament. In the evening the shelter acted like a giant cover for one of the better party's in the neighborhood.

~Synopsis~"The game is on with Pembroke's little sister…" Lord Drew Framlington watched Miss Mary Marlow. The woman had been warned to keep away from him, but she had a little contrary in her soul. She had not been deterred. Perhaps she had a taste for bad hidden beneath her cold denials, or a liking for naughtiness in her soul – either of which appealed.
"Stop pretending you do not like me…" Lord Framlington had urged Mary, "Stop running..." Her body urged her to as much as he did. Something pulled her towards him. Something unknown and all consuming… and yet how could she disobey her father and her brother...

~ About the Author ~Jane is a writer of authentic, passionate, and emotional Historical and New Adult Romance, and a Kindle top 25 bestselling author.
She began her first historical novel at sixteen, but a life full of adversity derailed her as she lives with the restrictions of Ankylosing Spondylitis.
When she finally completed a novel it was because she was determined not to reach forty still saying, I want to write.
Now Jane is writing a Regency series and contemporary, new adult, stories and she is thrilled to be giving her characters life in others' imaginations at last.
You might think that Jane was inspired to write by Jane Austen, especially as she lives near Bath in the United Kingdom, but you would be wrong. Jane's favourite author is Anya Seton, and the book which drew her into the bliss of falling into historical imagination was 'Katherine' a story crafted from reality.
Jane has drawn on this inspiration to discover other real-life love stories, reading memoirs and letters to capture elements of the past, and she uses them to create more realistic plots.
'Basically I love history and I am sucker for a love story. I love the feeling of falling in love; it's wonderful being able to do it time and time again in fiction.'
Jane is also a Chartered Member of the Institute of Personnel and Development in the United Kingdom, and uses this specialist understanding of people to bring her characters to life.
