Arcadia Data, a provider of a native visual analytics software for big data, today announced Fintonic, a mobile banking company using machine learning algorithms to provide customers with highly targeted loans and insurance products, has selected Arcadia Enterprise as the modern data visualization and analytics engine of its new data architecture.
Arcadia Data will allow Fintonic to more easily deliver key data from within the business to top management in near-real time to continue offering its users the best understanding of what is happening with their money.
Fintonic, which operates in Spain and Chile, connects nearly 400,000 users in Spain to 82 different financial entities. It uses the information provided by these institutions to generate daily reports and send alerts to users. Fintonic opted to update its data architecture to better understand how the data gathering process worked and to be able to act more quickly when individual connections malfunctioned. Fintonic also wanted to improve the work of its data experts in every department, work it felt was limited by its prior data visualization platform.
"Arcadia Data allowed us to create easy-to-read visualizations that helped our support team and management team quickly grasp the implications of the overnight interactions between our app and financial institutions," Fintonic COO Aitor Chinchetru, said. "Adding Arcadia Data to our infrastructure enabled us to create detailed reports about users whose accounts suffered from poor or interrupted connections to banks and address those issues more quickly, improving user retention."
Fintonic's data architecture, which includes a table with more than one billion transactions, houses terabytes of data. However, Fintonic's data experts across all departments had no easy way to study, understand, and act on that data. With Arcadia Enterprise, Fintonic's experts are able to make better decisions more quickly, ultimately improving their customers' user experiences. Since implementing Arcadia Enterprise, Fintonic was able to increase to 92 per cent (up from 80 per cent) the number of users whose data was correctly updated during the nightly interactions with financial institutions.
"Fintonic's desire to upgrade its data infrastructure was borne out of a growing demand for tightly integrated solutions with next-generation visual analytics," Arcadia Data co-founder and CEO Sushil Thomas said.
"Arcadia Enterprise is built for its customers to develop large scale and real-time data applications, including Fintonic's leading mobile banking app, that creates sustainable competitive differentiation. Fintonic's intelligent algorithms offer a glimpse of the future of banking, and we are excited they have selected Arcadia Data as they continue to pave the way in their industry."

BOONSBORO - Ten-year-old Abigail Roberts said her experiences in the summer junior ranger program at Greenbrier State Park have had a strong impact on her.
"I'll be more careful of nature now," she said as she finished up a scavenger hunt last week at the park off U.S. 40.
Abigail was one of four youngsters enrolled in the second junior ranger session held this summer.
The third session began today and will continue every Tuesday and Thursday through Aug. 19, said Sara Trumpower, a naturalist who is coordinating the program this summer. Morning sessions from 10 a.m. to noon are for children ages 8 to 10, while the programs from 2 to 4 p.m. are for ages 11 to 14.

The first phase of The Manor was the renovation of an existing memory care unit. The 16,000 sq. ft. assisted living facility was redesigned to accommodate Alzheimer's and other dementia-related patients, using non-slip wood floors, wide corridors, and a simple floor plan to create a serene environment.
The second phase provided a charming 3,000 sq. ft., 6-bedroom Senior Cottage to work in tandem with the existing memory care facility. WMB-ROI took special care to fit any new structures into the scale, rhythm, and style of the existing historic neighborhood composed of bungalow-style architecture, assuring all designs complied with the standards of the Historic Preservation Board and the City of Lakeland.
The third phase involved the construction of a new 23,000 sq. ft., 3-story assisted living facility. The new building, sporting a stylish Victorian turret and thick, square columns, provides the space for 40 apartment-style units for self-sufficient seniors. The design of this expansion incorporates large common spaces and views of Lake Morton for the residents to enjoy.

Reiss got her chest tube out this afternoon! It was scary, and painful, but she pushed through, focused on her breathing, then helped clean and bandage herself. She is so brave.
The nurse practitioner thought we could possibly be discharged tomorrow if all echoes and X-rays come back looking good. We will have to stay one week locally for a follow up appointment, then be able to make the trek back to Missouri.
Reiss was able to visit the play room earlier today on one of her walks. She was excited to be able to play outside of her room and even showed a little more pep in her step.

Screening: Brooklyn DIY: The History of Williamsburg's Art Scene 1987-2007
Wednesday, February 25, 2009, 8:30 p.m.
The Museum of Modern Art - 11 West 53 Street
Few cities in history have ever fielded a cultural spectrum as full as that of contemporary New York. Each of the arts enjoys large and powerful institutions devoted to the careful tending of elite lineages, while each simultaneously sports a more or less robust community of smaller, younger and more experimental practitioners. Yet the intramural organization of this spectrum varies considerably from art to art. In the performing arts, for example, the largest institutions remain decidedly for-profit, due in large part to Disney Theatricals ongoing dominion over Broadway. Off-Broadway and Off-Off Broadway are, for their part, now almost entirely the domain of non-profits. In contemporary art, by contrast, the largest institutions are resolutely non-profit, while an entire mid-range genre, the gallery, is not only for-profit, but profitable, always an important distinction. Non-profits appear again as the smallest format of contemporary art producers, and these often begin as hyper-local, fixated in and around specific neighborhoods.
Of all these institutions, the MOMA occupies a unique place. Straddling the divide between an active cultivation of a contemporary cannon and fortifying the myriad colonies of artistic modernism, MOMA is at once a historical temple and an all-powerful factory; its free admission Fridays standing as a sort of present-day bread and circus, able to appease and inspire in equal measure. When MOMA moves aggressively to expand the masthead of the modern, entire inaugurations are mobilized as counter-narratives. The MOMA, like the New York Times, is a cultural leviathan so large and, it must said, so generally benevolent (with notable exceptions) that it can be great sport to mock its sometimes clumsy probing of the ultra-current, the experimental, and the truly new. For many of these currents official sanction from either organization is as much an end as it is a beginning. So it is perhaps altogether appropriate that tonight MOMA is screening a ("long overdue"!) documentary entitled Brooklyn DIY:The History of Williamsburg's Art Scene 1987-2007. Williamsburg, as we know, is the latest, eastern, ethnic enclave to travel the well worn path past artists' bedroom community into gentrified respectability, lately pushing the process well past the absurd . Thus, like the West Village, SoHo, the East Village, and Alphabet City before it, its probably high-time to lay its cutting-edge status to rest once and for all, safely behind MOMA's glass casing of historical significance.

Roasted Vegetables and Wild Rice with Balsamic Glaze
Happy Mushroom Monday!
This week's recipe showcases a delicious blend of savory roasted vegetables with a sweet and tangy glaze. If you're not a fan of broccoli or mushrooms, this recipe will change your mind! Roasting is so simple and easy but the process completely changes the flavor. The vegetables flavor is enhanced and deepened while adding a sweet and nuttiness.
My youngest son's favorite veggie is broccoli, he could eat a mountain of it prepared literally any way. He's not picky when it comes to his broccoli. My oldest son on the other hand wasn't a huge fan of broccoli. He would rather eat most anything else over broccoli. When I prepared roasted broccoli for the first time, my youngest of course loved it but to my surprise my oldest loved it too! He actually wants to eat broccoli now (only roasted of course!) When you roast broccoli it brings out the best flavors and adds a sweet, nuttiness that is unlike any other preparation. So, if you're someone who hasn't liked broccoli in the past--roast it! You'll love the delicious and complex flavor roasting brings out in this health food.
The balsamic vinegar glaze in this recipe is a sweet, tangy delicious complement to the nutty wild rice and roasted veggies. Balsamic vinegar is not only a great compliment but it's also nutritious! Balsamic vinegar contains polyphenols and antioxidants that fight against cell damage and improve the body's immune system.
Broccoli is an excellent source of vitamin K, vitamin C, chromium, and folate. It is also a very good source of dietary fiber, pantothenic acid, vitamin B6, vitamin E, manganese, phosphorus, choline, vitamin B. With all the nutrients broccoli has to offer, you'll love a new way to add this healthy food into your diet.
Let's get started!
Roasted Vegetables and Wild Rice with Balsamic Glaze
Serves 4
- 1 cup wild rice blend (uncooked)
- 8 ounces baby bella mushrooms (cleaned and thinly sliced)
- 3 large broccoli floret heads
- 2 Tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
- 2 Tablespoons raw sugar
- 2 cloves garlic (crushed)
- 1 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
- Preheat oven to 400 °F.
- Cook rice according to package directions. Set aside.
- Cut bite sized broccoli florets off broccoli head. Set aside.
- In a large bowl combine sliced mushrooms and broccoli florets with olive oil. Coat oil evenly over vegetables.
- Spread coated vegetables on a large baking sheet. Roast for 15 minutes, flipping vegetables then roasting for 15 more minutes.
- While vegetables are roasting, combine balsamic vinegar, raw sugar, garlic, salt, and pepper in a saucepan. Heat on medium heat for 10-12 minutes or until starts to thicken.
- In a large bowl combine cooked rice, roasted vegetables, and balsamic vinegar glaze. Toss to combine. Serve warm.
Try this delicious and healthy rice dish out and let me know what you think! I'd love to hear from you <3
With Health and Happiness,

I've had a bowl of unripe fuyu persimmons keeping m company in The Lab for weeks now, picked by Ollie when he was out filling buckets (and buckets!) with quince. They're gorgeous to look at piled in a purple bowl but what to do with them… eat a few when they ripen, scooping out the silky-slimy flesh with a spoon; toss a few that start oozing; try a chutney recipe; yes, that all sort of works. But my real love is jam so today, with nothing urgent pending, is a day to play with persimmon. And straight up, this is not going to be a sellable jam – it's messy, fiddly prep. Yanking out the caps then squashing or pulling or chopping or scraping the fruit depending on the ripeness. Then there's this funny papery peel the really ripe ones develop. Puts me in mind of mushrooms which is never a good thing. Weighed, my bowl of persimmon comes in at 1 and a bit kilos, calling for 2 3/4 cups sugar although I might add more later. Zest of 1 and juice of 2 Tahitian limes. 1/2 tsp of cracked pepper for contrast – colour, texture and taste. 1/2 a vanilla bean split and scraped because this is JAM (even if unofficial) and vanilla bean is default. So the jam is macerating… I can wander round chanting 'fuyu… fuyu persimmon'… feels good!

Students rush to the school bookstore, in room 153, whenever they have time; hence it's a busy place.
"I have monitors helping me every period because of how busy we are here at the store," said Ms. Phyllis DelRosso.
The monitors at the store dedicate their lunch and free periods to help Ms. DelRosso. They restock and keep the shelves organized, get orders from customers, and maintain a clean workspace. The monitors keep the store running smoothly.
Dunia Alkhtry'20, a monitor, said, "Ms. DelRosso is really sweet and nice so I love helping her; I love monitoring because as a freshman, I get to meet and befriend new people."
Ms. DelRosso, who runs the school store, has been a part of the Hornet family for 17 years. She has to order items, unbox them, restock shelves, keep a tab of the profits, and keep the store clean. Along with that, she also collects attendance folders from classes.
"I'm here because of my love of working with students," said Ms. DelRosso.
The store sells a variety of things varying from snacks to novels to protractors. Students can purchase Shakespearean plays, Barron's regents' books, Highmark's books, protractors, and master locks at the store. In terms of snacks, the store offers a variety of chips, Pop tarts, cookies, water and healthier alternatives like granola bars, reduced sugar fruit snacks and Veggie Straws.
"We order from a company called 'ANSWER' because we can only order from companies that are certified by the Department of Education (DOE)," said Student Government Organization (SGO) Treasurer Ms. Marilyn Ferarrin. "The DOE also decides what can and can't be sold at the school store."
The profits made by the school store go back to the students. The money goes to an SGO bank account. From there, the money is used to fund transportation, gym clothing, graduation awards and many other things that benefit the students.
Girls and Boys teams, Council for Unity, SING, and various clubs like Debate and Drama Club receive the money.
The store has a welcoming aura with Ms. DelRosso and the monitors greeting customers. There are little figurines on the shelves and pictures hanging around the room. The school store is also decorated for holidays. There is a lit up Christmas tree and garlands around the room for Christmas.
The store is mostly open from period three till period nine, though it's closed in-between periods and when Ms. DelRosso has to pick up attendance during fifth period.

Thank you for the great labor of love! I never enjoyed any of the fan films until STC. Your efforts reached a role of professionalism that helped raise the bar across the board. You guys should take some credit in that Star Trek Discovery is as good as it is.

I want to thank you one and all for the hard work that you've done in keeping Star Trek OS alive. These last few years and 11 episodes was a great tribute to the original cast and crew of the starship Enterprise. Thank you for the memories and I wish you all a happy future wherever it may take you. Also, thank you to the staff, crew, producers, writers, actors and everyone else involved (including CBS) in making STC a real tribute and part of the Star Trek Canon.

Thank you Vic, and to all of the cast and supporting members of STC! The STC series is an awesome tribute to Star Trek TOS that I watched growing up. Everyone reached a level of professionalism that helped raise the bar and produced a truly wonderful series. Thanks to everyone for the memories,including CBS in making STC a real tribute to Star Trek TOS. I only hope that CBS / Paramount will see the professionalism that everyone has put into this series and hopefully offer everyone an opportunity to continue the journey starting after the first motion picture and Enterprise refit. I wish you all a happy future wherever it may take you and may the wind be forever at your back!!

What an amazing accomplishment. Your's was simply the best, and your passion for the series and chemistry showed in every episode.
While I am saddened to see it end, perhaps someday, someone will pay homage to THIS series, maybe a "Star Trek Continues...Continues" ?

I was holidaying around the world and couldn't get any TV or Netflix and needed my Star Trek fix so turned to YouTube and found you 3 days before you released the last episode. I'm in awe, totally blew me away that you could conceive of and create this masterpiece. It felt like one of the best presents that the universe has ever given me and so I wanted to profoundly thank you for this gift and your amazing efforts in making it, truly exceptional and inspirational.

We are all sad to see this series come to an end. It truly was a fantastic tribute to the original series and having notable connections to the old series was more than fabulous. So now, what next?

I just started watching this series and have been quite pleasantly surprised! The episodes are very well-written and well done. The use of material from TOS and TNG (separating saucer section) we quite well integrated. The only blooper I saw was that there really is no Vulcan death grip :-)
Thank you for putting this together! It's really great!

To everyone involved in making these, you did a fantastic job of carrying Roddenberry's vision to a fitting conclusion to the series.
Mr. Mignogna, your performance as Captain Kirk was the best I have ever seen. You were completely convincing in the role and I thank you for your incredible effort to do his character justice.
To your team's incredible effort, Thank you!

Wow.. I'm savoring each episode one by one. This was something really special the whole team pulled off.. and you really see the love. Magic like this is real and rare and it immeasurably inspires positive universal energy, the stuff that love is made out of, to our existence. And I believe this little act of love will not only continue to expand and flourish but will significantly contribute to cultivate positive and creative energy for generations around the world, multiplying and amplifying Roddenberry humanistic ideals to a new level. STC is not over.. it lives now in each new viewer's experience, and it will only continue to grow and thrive as the originals do from 50 years ago. The inspiration is not only the messages in the scripts but the love of the crew, orchestrated by you, in unity playing and rejoicing the creative energy of love. Thanks for the magic and I wish you all the best (keep us posted on the next kickstarter project, whatever it is... I'm in!)

I just watched Lolani. This was an impressive episode. I found it refreshing that Captain Kirk was defeated. However, the portion after Lolani and her captor left the ship was awkward. If the episode had ended with them leaving the ship and possibly her taped message, that would have been sufficient. it would have maintained Lolani as the supreme hero of the episode and Kirk as compromised. I think that would have been a more interesting story and added depth to Kirk's character. Of course, the message about the brutality of dehumanization/slavery was very powerful. In spite of the weakened ending, a very effective episode, it could have been stronger though.

Vic, the love and effort that you and the STC crew poured into these episodes really shines through! In viewing them, I felt the same sense of hope and inspiration as when I watched TOS. It's to bad the powers that be don't realize that your endeavors only serve to enrich the Trek universe. In time, I hope that will change. As Kirk once said, "there are always possibilities."

A Happy 2018 to all of you at Star Trek Continues, too! What you have all achieved is nothing short of incredible. I've been a Trek fan since the 1970's and though ST:TNG was ok-ish, I had given up by Voyager - too much space 'soap' opera for my liking...I really couldn't get excited by Worf's kid's problems, or how Chief O'Brien and Keiko were going to redecorate their new living quarters. Snore.The essence of really great sci-fi is an idea; one perhaps we all may have cogitated on at some point: 'What if...?'. Well, TOS had some amazing writers, but every script of STC has surpassed those efforts, and managed to bring the issues a contemporary feel, without feeling 'preachy'.
CBS/Paramount - you simply have to put this on prime-time and syndicate it as per the original series. The STC people have done what you, with all your resources, have been unable to do, ie: catch lightning in a bottle again! CBS, please stop with the tired, retread tropes - they ain't working. Why not air this amazing series - paying all involved as if they'd done the work as professionals and not simply for love. I know that these episodes would become as deeply loved as the original series did.

Thank you so much for all this phenomenal work, and for the great bow-out with the two-part closing episode.
So many parallels with the original TOS, including some false starts in casting right through to a premature end at the hands of the rights holders! For sure we'll always wonder about those extra episodes that might have been.
What wonderful surprises there were in To Boldly Go - when I saw Amy Rydell standing in for her mom, it was perhaps the most jaw-dropping 'reincarnation' of the whole project (which has many).
Also brilliant was the scene where Spock gets a greater kicking than he ever got before in TOS, where Rydell is lured away from him. An absolutely brilliant moment of writing and dramatic execution.
But I could go on. STC was not perfect, but neither was TOS. And like TOS, when it was good, it was great. And there isn't any 'Spock's Brain' in the whole bunch that needs shrugging off, either. You all did a phenomenal job. I hope the legacy of this series spreads out to the fans. It really deserves to.
I only wish the official current Star Trek offering was as much fun. But TNG needed three seasons to get good, and God knows, Star Trek fans are patient...
All the best, and thank you again, so much!

I have really enjoyed this continuation of the original series. I feel like it was very well done considering the constraints of not being a full scale production company. I do wish a certain other project hadn't screwed the pooch for everyone by forcing CBS/Paramount to pull the rug out from under fan projects like this. I enjoyed the final two part episode, but I do have some bones to pick so to speak. I feel like you "jumped the shark" by pushing the boundaries of the technology of the era when you used the plot points of intraship beaming and saucer separation. The one time they used intraship beaming was extremely dangerous due to the limitations of the technology at the time. To posit the idea that it had become acceptable practice without benefit of any opportunity for technological upgrades is really a stretch. As for the saucer separation scene, the Constitution class ships were simply not capable of doing this in space. That plot point alone ruined the final episode for me. I would also like to point out that during that time period, the transporter froze them in place during transport because the targeting scanner did not have the capability of tracking the movements of a person during transport. The whole sad farewell scene in the transporter room was just too contrived for me. I get that it set the stage for Spock's decision to commit to the Kolinar ritual, but it just went too far. The loss of the councillor could have been handled better. I feel like the last two episodes were rushed to complete the series and sadly they suffered for it. I know I will probably rub some people the wrong way with my comments, but I've been watching Star Trek since I was a kid in the 70's from TOS to TNG, DS9, Voyager and Enterprise. I've had issues with some of their episodes as well. Voyager was the worst with ridiculous plots that made no sense. As far as I'm concerned, the Star Trek universe ended for me with the first reboot movie. I'll never watch anything new coming from CBS/Paramount. Thank you for giving me the chance to see the rest of the original 5 year mission and tying it into the first movie. I can live with the faults and blame it on the unexpected rush to finish the story. It was...fun.

Looking forward to helping "What ships are for" get nominated for(and win!) the 2018 Hugo Award.
Like all the rest, it was well written, produced, and performed. But most of all I loved the compelling (and very timely) story-line. I think does what all great science fiction does, namely have us see ourselves through a new lens. We will all miss your great stories.
Live long and prosper in all your future endeavors

To Vic and team....thank you. You have put a more than worthy capstone on a series that I have always felt was prematurely canceled. You have forever placed yourselves in my heart as part of the canon of the original series and it is with a heavy heart that I am seeing you dock for the last time at Starfleet Command. I hope one day you once again head toward the second star to the right, and straight on 'til morning. Peace.

For Vic and the rest of the crew....you've done Gene Roddenberry proud with STC..what a fabulous series that answers many questions about the fate of the Enterprise and raises a few new ones as well; sequels of a sort, and, in the case of a sacred sci-fi icon like Star Trek, can aways be a hazardous and thorny undertaking. Nonetheless, you've all undertaken the challenge most successfully with your reverence and love for the story and vision that is "Star Trek" revealed in in every frame. Thank you.

Great show, but a grave error was made in calling the characters Kirk and Spock, etc. There's only one of each of them (Shatner, Nimoy, etc.). The crew should have consisted of new characters, i.e. Captain Smith, Science Officer Jones, etc., this crew serving on a different ship, example: the U.S.S. Independence or whatever. Otherwise, I love the idea to continue with the same look... the sets, the uniforms (especially the chicks in their mini-skirts), the same music, the ship sounds, etc. Very good, but I don't want to see anybody else play Captain Kirk except William Shatner. To put some young (and somewhat effeminate) dude in the role of Captain Kirk is a blatant mistake. The new guy playing Spock looks like he's 16 years old. The guy playing the ship's chief medical officer is fine, but to have him trying to be Dr. McCoy is just plain dumb. I like the actor, but call him Dr. Williams or Dr. Anderson or something. Along these lines, they did do something right in the episode 'Pilgrim of Eternity' …. the introduction of the new character named Elise McKenna. She's not from the old Enterprise crew. She's a brand new character and she comes across fine, very beautiful and very believable. I believed in her character, but when this new 'Captain Kirk' speaks, I feel like he can't wait to dock at the next pink planet so he can cruise the gay bars there. Too bad when they came to the choice of either: #1. using different actors to play the same characters; or, #2. using totally new characters, they chose #1 -- and in doing so, they made the wrong choice.

Vic, as opposed to that Tracy person above, I feel you have payed a fantastic homage to Star Trek. You were/are amazing at channeling Shatner's Kirk. The final episodes had all of the pathos, camaraderie and bitter/sweetness of the original. If Star Trek could have had time to wind down, this would have been the actual final voyage. Thank you for everything. If you go to Toronto Comicon maybe I'll meet some of your crew there. Well done.

I just recently discovered STC, and let me tell you I'm completely blown away. When first viewing STC on You Tube, I thought I had stumbled upon a previously unreleased episode of TOS. Wow Vic, you really do resemble Bill Shatner. I want to thank you for the integrity of the series. No need to change the timeline to make the characters more relevant to today. One of the things I always loved about TOS was the morality of the crew of the Enterprise. Captain Kirk was wothy to be looked up to. As a kid growing up in the 70's, Kirk was my hero. It was truly enjoyable getting to watch him roam the galaxy one more time. Thank you so much for this unexpected gift.

From: firstname.lastname@example.com (Dwight D. McKay) Subject: bugaboo (just when you thought you'd seen everything) How soon before we can buy the "I survived the Virus" Tee-shirts? :-) Things we joked about doing here at UMd, after the dust had settled: * Worm-buster T-shirts ("I ain't afraid of no worm!") [20/20 hindsight] * We talked to lots of media types, but so far we haven't seen anything in the tabloids. We thought it might be fun to call up 'Weekly World News' and feed them a story. I can see the headline now (choose your favorite)..... "{Space Aliens,Elvis,Two-Headed Grandmother} helped me Beat the Virus!!" (As I said, we joked about it, but I think that we should be glad we haven't seen anything like this yet; there's been enough disinformation written already). On another subject, while I have you all here...Everything in the last week or so has been talk and speculation on the newspapers' part or on the part of the people here on the net. I am sort of amazed by the lack of official news. I saw the alleged perpetrator once on TV, but he has really kept a low profile (can't say I blame him). Still, no statements from lawyers, really nothing. As for the side of the law, my understanding is that the FBI is handling things. We've heard about meetings between them and some major sites, and seen the announcement of a mailing list on a DDN computer to which you can send your name to be contacted. Other than that, though, pretty much complete silence on all official fronts. Most of the talk is going on here or on the tcp-ip and RISKS lists, which is ok, as it is informative and thoughtful. But still, I thought we'd have heard more hard facts by now... I'd have heard more

A more complete report on this study may be had in a working paper, WPS 79-41, at Support Services, College of Administrative Science, Ohio State University, Columbus, Ohio 43210.]
This paper uses a national sample of men and women to explore the possible differences and similarities of travel attitudes and behavior between men and women in general, and among several segments of women. While there were few dramatic differences, the differences which were found formed the basis for conclusions and recommendations for future research on possible needs of various segments of women.
There appears to be growing research attention and some controversy in the study of the travel attitudes and behavior of women. Transportation needs of women in the paid labor force are often assumed to be no different from those of historical members of the labor force despite the rapidly growing number of women as part- and full-time workers (Rosenbloom 1978). However, the exact nature of the data needed for policy planning is unclear since the travel literature focuses minimally on specific segments of women.
The purpose of this paper is' to provide empirical information on travel attitudes and behavior of men versus women but primarily on some specific segments of women in order to suggest directions for more definitive research. The travel attitudes and behavior encompassed are: transportation mode choice, mobility and leisure activities, and transportation related shopping patterns. In order to give focus to this exploratory research, the literature will be reviewed in the context of these three areas.
Alternative Transportation Mode Choice
The literature indicates that mode choice is affected by system characteristics and perceptions of and preferences for various travel modes as well as individual and situational differences and constraints (Tybout, Hauser and Koppelman 1977). Since no published research was found which focused on women, this study examined a variety of alternative local transportation modes and specific subsets of women which have been mentioned as possible targets for special treatment by transportation policy-makers. The subsets are presence or absence of young children (under 20 years of age), employment status, size of city of residence, distance of residence from the central city areas, and age. The research question is, therefore, broad and exploratory:
Do these subsets of women exhibit systematic variations in alternative transportation mode choice?
Do these subsets of women exhibit systematic variations in alternative transportation mode choice?
Presence of such variations would indicate market segmentation based on differences in situational factors defined by the segments noted above may be useful for transportation and store site planning and developing the service mix for retailers.
Mobility and Leisure Activities
Increasing numbers of women feel that a woman's place is not necessarily in the home, and it has been found that this type of woman works and has a stronger desire to travel outside the United States (Reynolds, Crask and Wells, 1977). Knowledge about variations in mobility would enable more precise targeting of services and communications directed toward the mobile segment of the market. Hence, the research questions are:
Do different subsets of women exhibit systematic variations in mobility? Specifically, are different subsets likely to travel out of state often? Do a lot of traveling by car?
Do different subsets of women exhibit systematic variations in mobility? Specifically, are different subsets likely to travel out of state often? Do a lot of traveling by car?
The families to whom working women belong spend less on transportation per family member (Bilkey, Massaro and Meehan 1962) but takes no more nor less vacations than single working head of household families (Strober and Weinberg 1977). However, the place to go on vacation is typically decided jointly between husband and wife (Sharp and Mott 1956; Cunningham and Green 1974; Davis and Rigaux 1974; Bonfield 1977).
Women in general are traveling more by air (Thayer 1977; Heckel 1978), while career-oriented working women are more likely to use airlines than non-working women (Bartos 1977) and younger women use cars more than airplanes on pleasure trips ("Women 18-34: What do They Buy?" 1964). The variables which were found to have explanatory power in the foregoing studies were used to study the following research questions:
Do different subsets of women exhibit systematic variations in leisure activities that require travel? Specifically, are different subsets more likely to take a long trip? More likely to want to take a vacation away from home? Drive around for pleasure?
Do different subsets of women exhibit systematic variations in leisure activities that require travel? Specifically, are different subsets more likely to take a long trip? More likely to want to take a vacation away from home? Drive around for pleasure?
Transportation-Related Shopping
Numerous daily travel decisions are made by women which emerge as shopping patterns. In studying the effect of transportation cost on shopping behavior, Crowell and Bowers (1977) found that consumers could achieve the lowest combined food, travel and shopping time by shopping more than one supermarket in a selected geographical area. Further savings may be had by in-home shopping. Most studies report that higher SES women do the most in-home shopping (Gillette 1976). There is also some evidence that "locked-in" circumstances (primarily lack of access to transportation and presence of young children) affect in-home shopping behavior. The general findings suggest several areas of study:
Do different subsets of women exhibit systematic variations in shopping patterns? Specifically, are different subsets most likely to include many stores into one trip? Do most of their grocery shopping in one store? Purchase groceries over the telephone?
Do different subsets of women exhibit systematic variations in shopping patterns? Specifically, are different subsets most likely to include many stores into one trip? Do most of their grocery shopping in one store? Purchase groceries over the telephone?
Data on variations in shopping patterns will become increasingly valuable as business and policy planners attempt to accommodate changing life styles and energy-related problems.
Subjects, Procedures, and Operational Definitions
The above research questions were addressed through a national sample from the Consumer Mail Panel of Market Facts, Inc. tm provide a balanced sample parallel to census data for geographic divisions and within each division by total household income, population density and degree of urbanization, and age. Further, the sample was balanced by sex. Of the total 1,000 original households contacted, 722 usable questionnaires were returned. However, after a comparison of the original households contacted and the final respondents on age, education, household income, occupation of husband, and geographic residence showed an over-represented older group, 60 respondents were randomly selected from that group and removed to provide an adjusted, balanced sample of 662. Although many segmentation bases are analyzed, aside from the comparison of males with females, each of the bases are drawn from the female population only. Demographic and socioeconomic characteristics of the women were used to develop five segmented subject groups. Table 1 displays the five segments. The three areas of travel attitudes and behavior were operationalized in Table 2.
The segments were treated as criterion variables and the travel attitudes and behavior as "predictor" variables in several multiple discriminant analyses (MDA). When it was found that the "predictor" variable which contributed most to defining the discriminant functions often had low variability and hence did not discriminate among the groups, crosstabulations were used for greater interpretation. Only MDA results are given in detail, however, due to space limitations. Since this paper is exploratory in nature, MDA was used in a number of different ways. First, a stepwise procedure was used to identify primary discriminating variables. Second, although the predictive power of the MDA functions is not directly relevant, hold-out samples were used to validate the efficacy of the functions which contained only significant (p < .05) variables. Third, all predictor variables were forced into the equations to provide profiles for the broader understanding of the segments.
The following discussion focuses on the extreme characteristics found for each stratification and on all the differences that were found. Table 3 provides a summary of the discriminant analyses.
Alternative Transportation Modes
The frequency of trips by train and taxi contributed the most toward determining each segment's discriminant score relative to the other seven variables concerned with the choice of transportation. Examining differences between the stratifications of each segmentation base, in general, women tended to use their cars more often than men. More specifically, when examining women only, women with young children compared to women with no young children, full-time employed women and homemakers compared to part-time employed women, women in moderate size cities compared to women in small and large cities, and younger women compared to older women, tended to rely on cars more for transportation. Hence, no simple explanation for the greater reliance on cars by women over men is acceptable. In other areas, women in small and large cities, compared to women in moderate size cities, were more likely to express a favorable attitude toward car pooling. Apparently women in moderate size cities, who drive more, do not want to give up their independence. Finally, bus ridership unsurprisingly appears to increase with degree of urbanization.
Mobility and Leisure
The infrequency of driving for the sake of pleasure contributed the most toward defining each stratification of the segments. In testing for differences, women in general wanted vacations less than men. Within the female segmentation bases, comparing women without young children, to those with young children, the latter were less likely to want vacations. I n addition, those with young children traveled more frequently by car. Apparently, presence of young children required use of the car but may also reduce the likelihood of taking vacations away from the home. In other areas, women with rural and central city lifestyles do less driving for pleasure than women with urban lifestyles. All but one of the mobility and lel-sure items show this same pattern of similarity between rural and central city women. In general, there was a slight increase in mobility and leisure activities where cars are involved as age decreased, however there appeared to be a segment of the 55 and older group that had a greater interest in leisure activities than the rest of the group and of the younger age group as well.
Shopping Patterns
The shopping patterns variable which contributed most to profiling each stratification of the segments was the tendency to grocery shop in more than one store. Comparing stratifications, homemakers and older women tended to shop more than one store for groceries. Closer examination of the full-t/me and part-time women showed that part-time workers were more strongly in agreement about shopping only one store for groceries. It might be inferred that working Women have little time to shop different stores and that women who work part-time are more concerned with travel scheduling for repetitive tasks like grocery shopping. More generally, women tended less often to include many stores in one shopping trip than did men.
The major conclusions from these analyses must be that there were few major differences found among the different stratifications of women's groups. The analyses did indicate, however, that several questions were raised that need further research. First, although women are generally more reliant on cars than men, life situations may account for their greater reliance on cars. What are the motivations behind these travel attitudes and behavior?
Second, despite the finding that women with young children have greater reliance on cars, their attitudes in favor of car pooling and/or trying to minimize shopping trips suggest that policies to ease the child care responsibility of mothers and/or formalize car pooling or similar transportation-sharing could meet with acceptance and reduce personal car use. Research is needed to explore various mechanisms to facilitate this acceptance.
Third, the similarities between full-time employed women and homemakers, in direct contrast to part-time employed women, deserves some closer attention. A natural monotonic ordering relating degree of outside work and travel attitudes and behavior was markedly lacking.
Fourth, small city residents apparently have strong feelings about mass transit. It may be, for example, that small cities have comparable transportation problems to large cities, that they are apprehensive about the future, and/or that the nature of social interactions associated with cities of various sizes dictates travel attitudes and behavior.
Fifth, since central city residents more often took an alternative transportation mode than wastefully driving alone, perhaps greater efficiencies can be had by focusing on travel needs of suburban residents. Alternatively, this finding may suggest that non-central city residents have different kinds of needs for local transportation than the central city dwellers.
Sixth, why do older women appear to be frugal in their use of cars for local travel but less so in their use of transportation for shopping? Further, since leisure activities was an area in which a significant portion of older women was particularly involved, what kinds of leisure activities can transportation facilitate?
The above analyses and conclusions demonstrate that various subsets of women do indeed have systematically varying travel attitudes and behavior and that future research must:
1. Clearly define groups of women who have different attitudes toward a wide range of transportation-related issues such as mass transit, efficient trip scheduling, and car pooling, and the causes or motivations underlying these attitudes. 2. Define situations in which these attitudes are and are not primary determinants of transportation-related behavior.

christians have just observed easter, a holiday about which i have mixed emotions. i am uneasy about the militaristic imagery of our hymns, filled with phrases about conquering death. somehow this "victory march" seems wrong in light of the prince of peace having been executed by the power of a great military state. easter leaves no room for the recognition of suffering; it pushes those who are hurting and grieving away. i wish we'd pay more attention to the most ancient versions of mark's gospel in which there is no sighting of a risen jesus, where the women who have gone to the tomb to anoint jesus' body leave in "terror and amazement" (mark 16:8, nsrv translation), and, in their fear, they tell no one of their discovery.
for me, easter is not about eternal life. rather it is about the permanence of love. in this way it is tied to my lenten meditations about the qualities of love: love never ends. as i drove home from church on easter sunday, my thoughts went to the nature of a loving God, a reasonable God, a God who would never create beings whose "very nature is evil," as our easter sunday confession had begun, a God who would delight in eternal punishment for those our religion claims this same God loves. why would a loving God create us to live this complex existence and expect us to figure it all out in one short lifetime? the more i think about this sort of God, the less faith i have that the god we are taught about in our churches is an accurate portrayal of the true nature of God.
if one believes in God, doesn't it make more sense that a loving and reasonable God would allow us as many lifetimes as we need to understand what life is all about, to come to a full realization of what love is? we are such a tiny part of the vastness of the universe, and there must be creatures similar to ourselves out somewhere in the far-flung reaches of space. is it possible that those beings have found their way to God in exactly the same way christians on this earth have? are others here on this earth condemned to eternal torment because their cultures have led them to God in different ways than western culture has led christians?
so for me where i am in my journey, jesus' execution at the hands of rome teaches me about a love that lays down its life for its friends. a literal resurrection is beside the point; the point is that love is unending. it is the glue that bonds everything together. it is the reason for living, it never dies.
may we go on loving, hoping for as many chances as we need to discover the true nature of love. shalom.

Proponents of redefining marriage argue that legalising same-sex unions will merely affect the wording of the present marriage law. But what they fail to realise – or maybe what they realise but aren't inclined to admit – is that the flow-on effects of redefining marriage are vast in scope and swift in transfusion.
Countries where marriage has been redefined all display the same damning evidence. The United Kingdom, one of the first nations to legalise same-sex marriage, is often the poster-child.
Earlier this month, during a speech at the PinkNews Awards, UK Prime Minister Theresa May unveiled a long list of plans to overhaul education, politics, and medicine in order to cater to the LGBT community.
Speaking at the Awards, the Prime Minister said: "We need to keep up our action, so we are pressing ahead with inclusive relationship and sex education in English schools, making sure that LGBT issues are taught well. We're determined to eradicate homophobic and transphobic bullying."
She also vowed to "streamline" the Gender Recognition Act, to make it easier for transgender people to transition.
She said: "We've set out plans to reform the Gender Recognition Act, streamlining and demedicalising the process for changing gender, because being trans is not an illness and it shouldn't be treated as such.
Not long after her speech, Mrs May wrote a column for PinkNews, expounding on her support of same-sex marriage. Throughout her post, she made a pointed effort to say that her new plans were for the good of everyone:
"I want all British citizens to enjoy the fullest freedoms and protections. That includes equal marriage – because marriage should be for everyone, regardless of their sexuality."
But how can these new mandates give British citizens their 'fullest freedoms'? According to the Prime Minister, the United Kingdom is intent on creating legislation to induce gender ideology into the educational system and the medical community. Regardless of where one stands on same-sex marriage, it is obvious that these statutes will ultimately terminate fundamental rights, such as free speech or freedom of religion in Britain.
Furthermore, how will such mandates create 'equality'? As highlighted in her speech in the video below, the LGBT community is already supported by a dearth of government-funded projects. Not only will these new mandates go above and beyond 'equality', but they overstep the silent majority, pointedly granting the LGBT minority additional rights to which the rest of the population will not be privy.
Redefining marriage will not just happen in a vacuum. As exemplified by the United Kingdom, it will directly conflict with the fundamental rights of the majority.
Why would one say 'Yes' to that?

I've been playing with some SX-70 film from the Impossible Project. I love the effect I'm getting, unfortunately, they're from a batch of defects film so I'm not sure I'll be able to get the effect again.
I think my next round will be to shoot some color with the circular frames! I love the unpredictability of the images. I'm also jonesing to shoot some color 8×10 but it's very costly so I'm going to have to wait on that.

To follow on from our guide to setting up perfect bound booklets, we were asked by a number of clients to put together a few words on how to design and print the very best booklets available. Booklets are one of the most important marketing elements your business can use. Their use can vary from sales presenters, to company magazines, annual reports and product guides. Pretty much every function in the business could potentially use a booklet. So how they are designed and printed is paramount to their successful use. A badly designed booklet may be worthless and we don't want that to happen, so follow our tips below to create the perfect booklet.
1) Work on a page plan
From the smallest 4 page sales brochure to the largest 56 page magazine, you should work on a plan for each of the pages in your booklet. Knowing what goes where on each page within the booklet and on each page, will help you determine how many images and how much content your booklet will require.
2) Understand your target market - what is the goal
Every project you work on should have a specific purpose, a goal. Knowing who you are selling to and what attracts them as purchasers or users of your booklet will ultimately result in a far more focused, tailored and better booklet.
3) Brand guidelines are in place for a reason
You spend thousands on printing each year, but without clear brand guidelines to direct your designs, your projects may often fall short of their true potential. With our design studio hat on, our team always advocate that one of the first projects we engage in with new clients is setting and directing clear brand guidelines to follow. By keeping to these through brand language, styles and choice of typographical elements we can get the best from every design and print project. Not just your booklet printing.
4) Cover pages are critical
The cover is the gateway to success in any booklet printing project. Think of it as the deciding factor in whether or not someone will pick up and read your work. That is the level of importance a cover design should have. Not only that, but the choice of finish and weight ultimately determine the look and feel of the finished product, so give thought to these also.
5) Content is king - proof reading and image quality
Within a sales brochure for example you must make your products and services appealing, it must provide the right information for those who read it to make an informed decision about their purchase. It must entice them to buy in the most efficient manner possible. Like all other booklet printing, it must be delivered with high quality content, perfect spelling and grammar as well as great product photography.
If you have any other tips for printing the best booklets, please put themin the comments below. Together we'll create the most comprehensive list possible.

Donald Trump threatens to cut aid to poor countries over UN resolution on Jerusalem
The US president has warned he would cut aid to countries that vote in favour of a UN resolution aiming to reverse his recognition of Jerusalem as Israel's capital
DONALD Trump has threatened to cut foreign aid to UN countries that support a UN resolution against the president's recognition of Jerusalem as the capital of Israel.
He welcomed a statement by US Ambassador to the UN Nikki Haley, who said that America would be "taking names" of countries that voted to oppose his decision.
During a cabinet meeting today, the US president said that those countries "take hundreds of millions of dollars and even billions of dollars, and then they vote against us. Well, we're watching those votes. Let them vote against us, we'll save a lot. We don't care."
He also claimed that US officials have no idea how foreign countries spend the money America allocates to them.
"This isn't like it used to be where they could vote against you, and then you pay them hundreds of millions of dollars and nobody knows what they're doing. So, Nikki, that was the right message that you and I agreed to be sent yesterday."
The UN General Assembly is set to vote on a resolution condemning Trump's recognition of Jerusalem tomorrow.
On Monday the US has used its power of veto to block a resolution in the Security Council that called for the president to overturn the decision.
Trump's announcement on December 6 caused a lot of controversy, as Jerusalem has never been internationally recognised as Israel's capital.
UK Prime Minister Theresa May asked for a phone call with the US president to criticise the decision, but had to wait for 13 days until she was finally able to speak with Trump.
This month demonstrations broke out in the Palestinian territories, where clashes have repeatedly occurred between protesters and Israeli troops.
A Palestinian protester dressed as Father Christmas to throw rocks at Israeli soldiers near the West Bank city of Ramallah.
Trump also announced his intention to move the US embassy, currently located in Tel Aviv, to Jerusalem.

Before deciding on which is the best camera phone, we need to list the top contenders and compare how the best camera phone stacks up against them. Among the phones we compared, you are assured to get a good camera no matter which one you picked. Though you may feel one outshines the rest. Let's take a look at the smartphones and their picture quality to make an unbiased opinion.
Google's Pixel2 XL
Google's latest release of Pixel is tweaked with computation settings that help its single 12MP rear camera. Even though it has one lens, the phone can create pictures in Portrait Mode. If you add the computations capabilities, Pixel 2XL's can also take Portrait Mode shots on its front camera.
Galaxy Note 8
The Galaxy Note 8 is the first Samsung smartphone to have a dual cameras in rear and front, making it capture images better than the previous Galaxy Note devices. It features one 12MP lens that has a f/1.7 aperture, and a 12MP telephoto lens has a f/2.4 aperture. The dual camera provides a 2X optical zoom, and both lenses also have the ISO feature. The camera also has a Live Focus feature that allows the adjusting of the background in a blurred photo; this can happen either before or after the shot. Additionally, you can take both a close-up or a wide angle shot at the same time.
Asus Zenfone 3 zoom
Asus Zenfone 3 Zoom has dual 12MP rear cameras that can zoom up to 2.3X. It offers an amazing photographic experience on a phone that cost below $400. The ZenFone 3 Zoom also has a pro mode, 4-axis ISO, and a dedicated color correction sensor. On the front face, the camera has a sharp 13MP camera that is complete with a beauty mode in the settings. To support all the camera functionalities, the ZenFone 3 Zoom has a 16 hr long battery to help you capture all the memories.
Samsung Galaxy S8/8+
Get a great 12 MP sensor with HDR under the price of a Note 8, which also has a multi-image processing feature to capture images with great colors and contrast. Galaxy S8/8+ by Samsung has a f/1.7 lens and huge pixels to get enough light. The front-facing camera has a Smart Auto Focus feature to track faces. The Galaxy S8/8+ does not have a dual camera like the Note 8; they only have one rear camera which is what most people work with.
The LG V30 cell phone offers Cine Video effects. The camera has 16 filters that give your video a really cool look. The camera emulates comedy, romantic and even thriller modes to set the perfect mood for your photos. The phone also has a Point Zoom feature that gives enables you to zoom in any area instead of just the center. The V30 has a great rear dual camera that takes wide angle shots.
The G6 has dual cameras that are 13MP each. The G6 takes super sharp pictures on both its expansive and standard lens. The G6 wide-angle lenses capture great expansive hillsides and cityscapes. The phone has a pro mode to manually adjust the shutter speed, white balance and ISO. When you look at the new Square Mode G6 feature, you have the capacity to take pictures while you view another photo, to help you recreate the scene easily.
iPhone X
Apple's latest smartphone is popularly voted and acclaimed as one of the best camera phone on the market. It may have minor tweaks from the camera of the 8 Plus, the rear camera of the telephoto lens has a wider aperture to capture more details on each photo (f/2.4 vs. f/2.8 on the 8+). The lenses on the rear camera have ISO for steady shots, and a 7MP front-facing camera that is powerful enough to include Portrait mode effects. This feature makes it a tough competitor to the Pixel 2XL, but on a general perspective, the zoom capabilities of the iPhone X are superior to any other phone on the market.
Even though the iPhone X may be said to have the best camera out of all smartphones, the there is a plethora of smartphones that can take exceptional shots and videos. Various factors might affect your purchase when it comes to buying the best camera phone of 2018. The above mentioned list is brings you the best out of the rest.

Another Snow....
Well, just after the streets were cleared we got another snow storm. Thankfully this one did not bring as much snow, only about 5 inches in total, but it was a heavy and wet snow.
J laments over the snow blower not working well...again. (Nathan later put in on Craig's List and got zero hits! Guess we'll be storing it again in the basement for the summer.)
S always finds delight in newly fallen snow and built a small snowman on top of the giant snow pile in the front yard.

Are you a female who is losing hair and don't know what to do? Don't look any further. Visiting a hair transplant surgeon is the best solution for you.
Women who experience hair loss can either have female patterned baldness or male patterned baldness. Your hair transplant surgeon will evaluate your scalp and help you better understand why you are experience hair loss. In almost every case, you should expect the doctor to send you for a basic lab test, which will help them, understand if you have any medical problems that can be treated easily. Another option would be for you to receive a hair transplant, which will be determined after you receive the lab results.
Keep in mind, visiting a hair transplant surgeon doesn't necessarily mean that you must have a hair transplant to solve your hair loss problem. Getting evaluated by a professional is the best way to figure out a solution to your problem. There can be a myriad of alternative solutions available to you other than surgery for optimum results in growing fuller, thicker new hair.
Though this can be very disheartening for women, there is a solution. With technology and techniques as advanced as they are now, women all over the world can benefit from the knowledge that their Hair Transplant Surgeon can provide.
