Letter: Know it, love it
Barbara Rosenbach, Naples
Know it, love it
The Naples Philharmonic Center for the Arts, known affectionately as the Phil, is a valuable and much-revered institution in Naples.
We now learn that it is to have a new and rather pretentious name.
Oh, I listened to the reasons when they were shared with us, but I strongly feel that the old saying applies: "If it ain't broke, don't fix it."
We know and love the Phil. We support the Phil. We learn there, meet friends there, have our lives enriched there.
Long live the Phil.

We've been obsessed with Léonard Combier's doodles ever since he first messaged us about his art and an image of an inked up passport blew our minds, so it's incredibly exciting to finally share these exclusive images with you!
Sometimes Doodle Addicts find themselves in a pinch where there's no paper in reach, and that's when those of us who are in too deep start reaching for anything nearby that could possibly work. Léonard Combier, a 24 year old French illustrator enjoying life in Berlin, was bored in class with no paper to doodle on. A friend of his had their passport in their pocket, so Combier asked them if he could draw something on it. Like a good friend, they were excited about the idea, passed their passport over to him, and let Combier run wild with it. Combier liked the result so much that he continued to reach for different people's passports.
Does doodling on your passport cause an issue at the airport? Apparently not. These are not expired passports, and the original owners went on to travel abroad with them even after they've been drawn on. Combier assured me that his friends have crossed many countries, including the US, with their inked-up passports. They say customs officers usually look closely at the drawings, thinking it's part of the printed design of the passport, before they realize it's hand drawnand they really like it!
When I asked the artist if it feels strange drawing on someone's passport, Combier said, "In a way it's better than drawing on a normal sheet of paper. All the little patterns that are already on the passport give more relief to my drawings. It's very funny to play with all the visas, the stamps, to write little messages that will be read by the custom officers, sometimes even a bit provocative. It's also very nice to know that the owner of the passport will have my drawing within reach for ten years, on an official document. A bit like a tattoo."
If you're in Berlin, own a valid passport and want a drawing, don't hesitate to send a message (and a Like) on Léonard Combier's Facebook page.

We received 126 super cool submissions. They really were so good, and it was a blast selecting the mix of twelve for the June issue. From Anorak Magazine and us here at DA, thank you all for participating.
Congratulations to Patrick O'Leary, Sarah Mazzetti, Cynthia Bataille, Tahra Morton, Vincent Kilbride, Calico Melton, Justin Butts, Tsz Wan, Fiona Biddington, Lottie Pencheon, Elena Lombardi and Abel Jimenez -- your artwork will be published in this coming June's issue!

Back in 2009 I described Anorak Magazine as "the happy, colorful, illustrated, quirky, character-filled, page-turning, content-driven mag for everyone," but they simply call themselves "the happy mag for kids." Happy being the key word here, and this summer Doodlers Anonymous is going to help them spread some of that joy around.
How you ask? Anorak is committing 6 pages of their June issue to your illustrations, with each page featuring two images, so that's a total of 12 artists getting some nice attention and love from us all (not to mention a free issue of course). We have only 3 guidelines for your participation: (1) Your art must be black and white, so kids can choose to color it in (2) It must be horizontal (in other words landscape mode), so we can easily fit two on a page (3) Your illustration must be themed FAVORITE SPORTS, but of course invented and imaginary sports are welcomed too.
Deadline is April 25th. Get drawing and submit your artwork to sports{at}doodlersanonymous{dot}com. The team at Anorak and DA will pick the final selection of twelve. Good luck to everyone and follow us on Twitter or Facebook for updates along the way.

The report, to be published in the journal Science, says that direct heat of the sun on temperature probes of the weather balloon (radiosonde) probably explains the discrepancy between reports showing that atmospheric temperatures have been unchanged since the 1970's, while temperatures at the Earth's surface are rising.
For the last 40 years radiosonde temperature information has been collected twice each day from stations around the world at local times that correspond to 00:00 and 12:00 Greenwich Mean Time. Some measurements were taken in daylight, others in darkness.
"Even though models predict a close link between atmospheric and surface temperatures, there has been a large difference in the actual measurements," said Steven C. Sherwood, associate professor of geology and geophysics at Yale, and lead author. "This has muddied the interpretation of reported warming." Most scientists have concluded the surface warming has partly resulted from a buildup of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.
The key to the error in climate change estimates lay in instrument design, according to this study. With exposed sensors, measurement taken in daylight read too warm, and while solar heating had a measurable impact on the earlier designs, the effect became negligible in more recent designs.
"It's like being outside on a hot day -- it feels hotter when you are standing in the direct sun than when you are standing in the shade," said Sherwood. "We can't hang our hats on the old balloon numbers."
After taking this problem into account, the researchers estimate there has been an increase of 0.2 degree Celsius (°C) in the average global temperature per dec

About Jane McIlroy
Digital photography can be a simple recording of scenes and events, but it can also be the starting point of an adventure into a world of light and colour.
As I work on my images, they seem to develop personalities of their own, as if they wants to be portrayed in a certain way. Rather like painting a portrait, my task is to listen, be guided by the qualities of each individual image and try to bring out its full potential.
The same principles apply to any subject, whether a landscape, seascape, flower, impressive monument or detailed study. Each is unique in its own way and demands its own special treatment.
Welcome to my world of digital photography and image making!

- Follow the latest weather reports on television or radio.
- Stay indoors until you have been advised that it's safe to leave home, even if it looks calm outside.
- Stay in a room without windows, or inside a closet.
- Sit inside a bathtub with a piece of plywood overtop.
- Be prepared to leave quickly if emergency officials order an evacuation.

I worked at HALDEX HYDRAULICS full-time (More than 10 years)
Local plant was easy to get to know the associates and everyone worked as a team. The work environment was to get the job done at new goals and do it safely. More often than not this required someone "pitching in" to help wit a back log. Attendance, to my surprise, was pretty good. There were expectations and goals set that were not absolutely unattainable. The rewards were of equal importance.
The Rockford associates often treated the Statsville facility as something like an afterthought. It seemed to be that from the "purchase" of Concentric, everything was set on a downward spiral with absolutely no hope of rebounding. It seems as though the powers to be knew what was goingon and simply wated to cover their own bckside with no concern for the ones that actually had their hands on the work. They simply like to hear themselves talk.
Advice to Management
Get a grip on reality and have a little foresight further than next year.

I am a white knuckle flyer but I felt much more relaxed on those military planes as a passenger than I ever did on a commercial plane. Even while facing backwards in some configurations, the large temperature changes and looking at a bunch of random cargo strapped down and no pretty walls and ceiling, just pipes, wires, and the frame of the aircraft and the only windows are on the exit doors. They are much larger inside.
I thought it would be weird but my family and I took a long "space available" to go on vacation on a large US military plane and we sat facing backwards. I didn't notice anything different other than the obvious lean the other way on takeoff. Not many windows either.

Big picture. A business that keeps all it's data in one data center is at risk. That one data center being in a known hurricane zone makes it worse but using SSD is not the tipping point here that suddenly makes it a risky.
Different situation.
Lemon laws are about a breach of the manufacturer's warranty. Individual people are not selling brand new cars but even a used car bought from a private individual still under the factory warranty has lemon law protection. Your case is against the car maker providing you the warranty, not the seller or the dealer. Aside from that, to get to the point to prove it was a lemon, you have to go through an arbitration process.
What world do you live in? People are suing companies for service/quality/loss ALL the time. There is nothing about dealing with a company that automatically gives you recourse. You have to take them to court just like no different than suing a person.
Emissions standards is a federal standard and it is still a federal offense to modify any emission equipment on your car. The problem like you stated comes from the enforcement. Checking emissions was delegated to the individual states and within general guidelines, they check cars. A lot of states have various exceptions like
Some less dense populated counties do not check any cars at all
Some cars not driven more than a certain mileage per year
After the car hits a certain age, usually 20-25+ years
Vehicles used primarily for farm use but still used on public roads if being driven for work related to the farming (like going to town to get feed or supplies)
Just because your area does not check your car on a routine basis does not mean you can rip all of the emissions crap off but many people do. Who enforces the federal emissions laws and standards on your car at that point? No one really.
I understand your dilemma though. I live in an area that does have periodic checks but I do get stuck behind some Harleys and old motorcycles that have no emissions equipment and an occasional car that I know that took off their catalytic convertors because I can smell them immediately.
I have Comcast internet without Comcast cable. I can not watch ESPN3. It must come out of the cable TV subscribers bill, not the internet side, or I am paying for it AND can't watch it.
Spend a few hours and browse some of the paid ads and ads that look like real articles about cures and balms from 1850~1915 or so newspapers in a Google newspaper search. I now understand why regulation or at least a standard is now in place that labels some things as "This is an advertisement" and why there are labels on things that state "not medically proven" and such.
One random example here at the bottom of page 1 column 4.
If you look and read random papers you will many more scattered throughout with some wild claims.
Ointments that promise to fix just about anything. Aspirin is even in some of those ads promising to fix all kinds of things, it is still around but had many more claims for fixing ailments back then. Left without regulation, people WILL make wild claims to make a buck, that is why we have many of these consumer protection regulations now.
I've slowed down and drive much less aggressive as I've aged. Not because I feel more responsible now or that I was carefree when I was younger. I just don't have the awareness I used to have when I was younger and I am not as comfortable pushing things. It takes me much longer to verify no one is next to me before changing lanes, I used to just whip my head around, scan my mirror and then go, it takes me longer to refocus when I look in my rear view mirror or down at the speedo and back forward again, my vision is not as good as it used. I could take a 300 mile trip at night and remember almost every car I passed or passed me. Scope out areas where police might be like openings in the median or after bridges and down hills. I knew exactly what was around me, approaching, and pulling away at every moment. I was constantly scanning everywhere. I don't do most of that anymore, I just kind of... drive. I don't even use my detectors anymore. Although I still love to take trips and get in the car and go, I am just not "into" driving like I used to be. I'm probably not as "safe" as I used to be but at least I am going relatively slower than I used to.
Why limit it to 5 under, why not 10 or 15 under? It's funny that YOUR standard is right and everyone else is wrong.
I can drive for weeks on end and not tailgate anyone at all or get stressed when someone is in a crosswalk, let people merge in front of me at the last minute in a squeeze or wave people on from a side street in traffic, and slow down and cautiously drive around bikes and I am 100% stress free doing that. I do that at 15 under or possibly even 15 over the posted speed limit.
You've been Berkeley'ed!

Afghanistan remains by far the world's top producer of illegal opium poppy used to make heroin, according to the State Department's annual report on global trends in the illicit narcotics trade, which also pinpoints Bolivia, Burma and Venezuela for having "failed demonstrably" to uphold international counternarcotics agreements.
The report, which the State Department quietly released and submitted to Congress last week, also highlights Nicaragua as a major drug transit country and claims that more than 80 percent of illegal cocaine entering the U.S. gets smuggled through the Central American corridor.
The 2013 International Narcotics Control Strategy Report cites Mexico as a "center for money laundering" along with high ongoing rates of drug trafficking. But it also points to "signs of improvement" in the security situation in Mexico where more than 50,000 people are estimated to have been killed in drug-related violence since 2006.
On Afghanistan, meanwhile, the report says "smuggling of heroin into India from Afghanistan and Pakistan continued to increase in 2012" and that "drug-trafficking organizations in India use human couriers and commercial package services to send illicit drugs overseas, both to Europe and the Americas."
With U.S. military forces preparing to exit from Afghanistan in 2014, the nation's ongoing and high level of illicit drug production remains a subject of debate in the world's foreign policy and counterterrorism circles — since profits from the illicit drug trade have for years been known to finance international terrorism.
The report notes that "nearly all" of Afghanistan's opium cultivation is now occurring in the war-torn nation's southern and western provinces, where instability "allows criminal networks, insurgent groups, and illicit cultivation and drug production to thrive."
But researchers also cited progress in the effort to beat back opium growth in Helmand Province — Afghanistan's largest cultivation area — though overall poppy cultivation across Afghanistan actually "increased by 57 percent" from 2011 to 2012.
The world's next most-productive opium cultivator is Myanmar. Claims by the Myanmar government that its officials have destroyed an increasing amount of opium crop "cannot be verified."
But the U.S. policy toward Myanmar, formerly known as Burma, has softened dramatically during the past year, as the nation's leaders have undertaken significant democratic reforms.
The State Department report notes that "while in the past U.S. policies have limited direct assistance to the Myanmar government, in September 2012, [President Obama] signed a national-interest waiver which allows for the possibility of providing such direct assistance in the future."
The report calls for similar waivers to be granted to Venezuela and Bolivia on grounds that U.S. support for programs aiding the three nations are "vital to the national interests of the United States."
The report cites a lack of counternarcotics coordination with Venezuelan authorities, but added that, "as in prior years, the United States remains prepared to deepen cooperation with Venezuela to help counter the increasing flow of cocaine and other illegal drugs transiting Venezuelan territory."
With regard to Bolivia, the report maintains that "most Bolivian cocaine flows to other Latin American countries, especially Brazil, for domestic consumption or onward transit to West Africa and Europe."
"Approximately 1 percent of cocaine seized and tested in the United States originates in Bolivia," according to the report.

Murrysville council shoots down chicken-coop proposal
It turns out that far fewer people in Murrysville wanted chicken coops in their backyards after all.
With unanimous support, council decided to end discussion on a proposal allowing chicken coops on residential properties. Many agreed they received more pleas to keep chickens out of backyards than in support of chickens moving in.
"I haven't been approached with requests to have chickens," Joan Kearns, council president, said. "I have been approached with requests not to reduce the acreage."
Currently, only property owners with more than 10 acres can have chickens.
In February, council tasked the municipal planning commission to review zoning ordinance changes necessary for chickens. Part of the review included proposals for the acceptable number of chickens, size of property lots and types of chickens permitted.
Council occasionally receives requests for domestic chickens, but those amped up in light of neighboring North Huntingdon's domestic chicken proposal, said Jim Morrison, chief administrator.
Although its is closed for now, Morrison said he anticipates the proposal will likely come again in five years or so.

The Society
The Salastina Music Society enriches hearts, minds, and our greater community through world-class and educational curated performances of chamber music. By providing listeners with a field guide to the vast, rich landscape of chamber music, Salastina feeds the curiosity of audiences of all types — from the classical music cognoscenti to new listeners of all ages.
With a repertoire spanning three centuries, including special priority given to premieres by living composers, Salastina's compelling and personable guided tours allow the music to resonate more fully than it otherwise might, leading to enhanced connections between listeners, musicians, composers, and the music.
Salastina's evolving repertory company is capable of presenting chamber music of every style, instrumentation, and historical period. Our artist roster comprises musicians drawn from Los Angeles' rich pool of talent, from Los Angeles Philharmonic principals to opera stars to world-renowned soloists and chamber musicians.
Since its founding five years ago, Salastina has earned a national reputation for connecting audiences to classical music through its innovative and uniquely curated concert experiences. Salastina's annual calendar typically includes over a dozen concert programs, educational initiatives, and special events; performances throughout California; guest appearances on other highly-regarded concert series; recording activities; and frequent national broadcasts on American Public Media's Performance Today.
Our commitments:
• To discovery and new music.
All great music — from classic to newly so to not yet so — bears intrepid exploration. This is the guiding principle behind our signature curated concert format, in which we connect audiences to the repertoire by helping the music tell its story.
Our popular Masterpiece Discovery series, hosted by KUSC 91.5 FM DJ Brian Lauritzen, delves even deeper into the questions we explore at all of our curated concerts by focusing on one specific masterwork at a time.
And just as we champion music that has stood the test of centuries out of a firm belief in its value, so do we advocate for the ever-evolving music of our time. By promoting new music that doesn't compromise on originality, sophistication, or accessibility, we seek neither to pander to nor to alienate the listener. Since our debut concert in 2010, we've commissioned numerous works, including two for voice and chamber ensemble — which were premiered by opera stars Rod Gilfry and Elizabeth Futral, respectively. (For more information about our world-premiere recording with Elizabeth, click here.)
• To education.
Salastina performances feed the curiosity of listeners of all types inside the concert hall; the Salastina Academy works intensely with gifted young instrumentalists to prepare them for their place in it. Salastina musicians coach these young people from within the chamber group, culminating in a performance alongside them.
In February of 2014, we coached four young musicians through the seminal experience of studying, rehearsing, and ultimately performing a world premiere (by Salastina's composer-in-residence Jeremy Cavaterra) for the very first time in their lives.
• To making meaningful connections with audiences.
If art is to make us feel more human, then stiff, arbitrary, and outdated rules — and a disconnect between performers, composers, and audience members — run deadly interference. We believe dressing up, connecting over some of the most masterful art ever created, and laughing out loud in a friendly and thought-provoking environment can all work hand-in-hand to make any special event just that: special!
Salastina artists don't just sing and play beautifully; they also have a lot to say. Our guest performers and composers offer personal insight into their thoughts and experiences both during and after concerts — be it by speaking from the stage, connecting with audience members during post-concert FAQ sessions, or mingling at informal receptions.
- What's more, we promote extra-musical ways of enhancing the concert experience, from gourmet post-concert receptions to collaborations with celebrity comics to intimate, hedonistic musical salons featuring the musically-inspired cuisine of highly regarded chefs. And in a break with tradition, our audience is encouraged to applaud freely, without worrying about whether or not it is the traditionally appropriate moment. (No ticket buyer should be implicitly required to temper his enthusiasm!)

While poverty and under-education continue to dampen contraception use in Nepal, exacerbating the country's efforts to reduce maternal and child mortality rates, researchers say another, more surprising factor may be more intractable: Deeply held cultural preferences for sons over daughters.
Writing in the March 7, 2013 online International Journal of Gynecology and Obstetrics, scientists from the University of California, San Diego School of Medicine found that geography (urban versus rural), age and levels of education, wealth and social status all predictably influenced whether Nepalese women used birth control.
Young wives in Nepal were among those least likely to use contraceptives, 24 percent of wives ages 20-24 and just 14 percent of wives ages 15 to 19 years old. These low percentages, said first author Anita Raj, PhD, professor of medicine in the UC San Diego School of Medicine, were particularly notable among young wives who did not have any sons.
"Daughter aversion" reflects a profound, historical cultural bias in Nepal and in other central and south Asian countries, said Raj, an international authority on gender issues in the region. Part of the reason is financial, she said. Males traditionally enjoy greater economic opportunity.
"But tradition also says sons take care of parents," Raj said. "Daughters are supposed to leave the family and become the daughter of the in-laws, no longer the daughter of the parents. Practices like that are going to affect investment in your daughters."
Raj said son preference was worrisome for a couple of reasons. First, it persists even with improvements in education. Second, it remains strong among the youngest Nepalese wives.
She suggested the latter effect may be due, in part, to the influence of older generations.
"Even after adjusting for child marriage, you see it. Girls who marry younger may be more vulnerable to son preference because they are

Langer has received over 210 major awards including the Charles Stark Draper Prize (considered the equivalent of the Nobel Prize for engineers), the Millennium Prize (world's largest technology prize), the Lemelson-MIT prize (world's largest prize for invention), and has been inducted into the National Inventors Hall of Fame. He is one of very few people elected to all three U.S. National Academies (National Academy of Sciences, National Academy of Engineering and Institute of Medicine) and the youngest to receive this distinction.
In 2002, Forbes Magazine selected Langer as one of the 15 innovators worldwide who will "reinvent our future." Time Magazine and CNN in 2001 named him as one of the 100 most important people in America and one of the 18 top people in science or medicine in America (America's Best). In 2004, Parade Magazine selected Langer as one of 6 "Heroes whose research may save your life."
Leroy Hood, president of the Institute for Systems Biology, is a pioneer whose research has focused on the study of molecular immunology, biotechnology and genomics. At Caltech, he and his colleagues developed instruments that paved the way for the successful mapping of the human genome. Hood also holds the rare distinction of being a member of all three U.S. National Academies. He is the recipient of numerous awards, including the Lasker Award, the Kyoto Prize, the Heinz Award, and the NAE 2011 Fritz J. and Delores H. Russ Prize for automating DNA sequencing that revolutionized biomedicine and forensic science. He has played a role in founding more than 14 biotech companies, has published over 700 peer reviewed articles, and holds 36 patents.

Credit Card Sized Lightbulb
A/V 147 Views
Well hello novelty, at least according to one commenter on the linked product page. The LED Credit Card Pocket Light is small enough to fit into a wallet and uses a 3V built in battery to power its light source – not sure how you recharge it, though. My mom might enjoy this product for reading menus in dark restaurants, but beyond that its practical applications have to be few and far between.
Meritline currently has it on sale for $3.99 including shipping.

One of those aggressive therapies is SonoPhoto Dynamic Therapy (SPDT). Dr. Jimenez is considered the world expert in this treatment method. Patients are given a natural chlorophyll powder under the tongue, which is quickly absorbed by all the cells. Within 24 hours, normal cells wash it back out, but it remains in the cancer cells. Then sound and light frequencies are pulsed through the body. When sound and light hit chlorophyll, it causes photosynthesis, which is a chemical reaction that explodes free radical oxygen right into the cancer cells and kills them. Tumors shrink up to 30% in just the first 14 days of treatment.
"I did my research," Miller explained. "In the US, anything other than standard of care – surgery, chemotherapy and radiation – is considered 'alternative'. Even chiropractic, acupuncture and massage are considered alternative. What the word really means is that if it doesn't include drugs or surgery the FDA doesn't consider it effective. Yet dozens of countries with higher success rates than the US use these treatments as front line therapy. Twenty years ago, doctors were run out of the country for using Vitamin C infusions. Now they are done by medical doctors all over the country. Hopefully someday we'll learn that drugs aren't always the answer, and these more natural therapies will become the norm. Our medical establishment just hasn't caught up yet."
Miller's protocol included local and whole body hyperthermia, SonoPhoto Dynamic Therapy, IVs, vaccines, detoxification, nutrition, immune support, biological dentistry and lifestyle counseling. "They gave me tools to work with," he said. "They taught me ab

Jordan Weissmann: College football players athletes first, students second
NEW YORK — A regional office of the National Labor Relations Board has ruled that Northwestern University football players are employees with the right to unionize. It's an unexpected and potentially momentous decision that could change college sports. If it holds up on appeal, this may well be the first step in a chain of events that brings down the charade of amateurism in NCAA athletics.

EDMOND — Kingsly Vickers Johnson was in a hurry to get here. His parents were only halfway to the hospital on Tuesday when the time came for his arrival.
Baby born along Edmond street
Police detectives Jimmy Gwartney and Michael Chesley stopped the car after being alarmed by the flashing lights and honking horn. Before they knew it they were delivering a baby boy.
"My wife put her legs on the dash and I knew I had to pull over," said Colin Johnson, now the father of five children. "The last three went relatively quick."
Dalisha Johnson wasn't expecting Kingsly until Dec. 13, when she was scheduled to have her labor induced.
The detectives had just left an interview and were near 15th Street and Kelly Park Road when they stopped the Johnsons' car, Gwartney said.
"He said his wife was in labor," Gwartney said. "It was obvious."
The detectives got permission from their supervisor to escort the couple to the hospital.

About New York State Bar Association:
The New York State Bar Association encourages lawyers to make the law accessible to all, including those with chronic illness. As part of this effort they launched a new campaign called The Good We Do to recognize the significant contributions made by the scores of attorneys across the state who donate their time, services and expertise to meet the ever-growing legal needs of low-income people and others who have been disadvantaged by health issues, the economy or other problems.
New York State Bar Association President Michael E. Getnick (Getnick Livingston Atkinson & Priore, LLP of Utica, New York), said, "Increasingly, more and more New Yorkers and worthy non-profit organizations, are finding it harder to keep their heads above water as they try to navigate our legal system. Whether in planning for incapacity, foreclosure cases, or child custody cases, every New Yorker should have equal access to justice and legal services. The State Bar is proud to salute attorneys, like Marty Shenkman, who truly live the words, and justice for all."

I cancelled his booking after 9 days after the arrival, because the flat was for a third person "Indian girl" without any previous notice.
Since the beginning and on several occasions Brad was not very straight and clear with me up to the day before the cancellation of the reservation.
The money has been refunded to him as for the AIRBNB policy.

About the Host, Livinio
I was born in Italy and at the age of 27 I moved to live and work in Dubai.
Since 2004 I am working as a real estate agent in Dubai.
I have a passion for sport, photography and travel and one day I met . . . AIRBNB and once I used I decided to promote my own properties in Dubai and Europe through them.
With the experience in real estate, I learn and understand very well how it is important to welcome others and making them feel at ease and taken care of especially a long trip or flight and you land for the first time somewhere where you never been before. . . . .
My first recommendation is that the guest must be comfortable enough and they must enjoy the flat the same as their place from the moment they step through the door.
Having a few properties and sometimes to be far away it is very important to have excellent communication and to be reachable so you can always reach me through the AIRBNB web-site, email, sms, BBM or phone.
At your arrival I will meet you or you will be welcome from an appointed person.
Once you will book through AIRBNB web-site, I will contact you by email and send more details of the property, the map of the location and the list of convenient stores, shops and restaurants walking distance.
You will not regret if you book your stay at one of my premises. . . . .

• Ricoh's unrivaled GR Lens enters the Digital Age...Exceptional resolution & low distortion in a single lens unit. Superb image resolution that clearly captures individual hairs. Crisp image quality even in the periphery. These are the proud hallmarks of Ricoh's highly renowned GR Lens, which is breathing new life into digital photography.
• The GR Lens (f/2.4, f=5.9mm, equivalent to 28mm focal length on 35mm film camera) compensates for various aberrations, & weaker light in the periphery to deliver high-resolution, high-contrast reproduction over the entire image.
• Ricoh's advanced CCD delivers signature GR image quality. This compact 1/1.8-type imaging sensor with approximately 8.13 million effective pixels fully complements the sharp GR Lens to produce images with rich gradations & a wide dynamic range even when shooting at high sensitivity settings up to ISO1600.
• Highly efficient color aberration correction functions in the GR Digital eliminate purple fringes & reproduce true-to-life images in vivid, fine detailand natural color.
• Even diagonal lines, which are a challenge for CCD sensors, are reproduced smoothly by an original image correction process in Ricoh's GR Engine.
• Low-noise internal circuitry together with advanced digital noise reduction helps ensure superb image quality. Customizable settings enhance control over image reproduction with simple manual adjustment of such settings as contrast & levels before shooting. Each setting offers 5 levels of adjustment, save up to 2 combinations of settings for later recall.
• With 1 press of the shutter button, the GR Digital simultaneously creates 2 image files: 1 in the JPEG data format & the other in RAW. This option gives users the flexibility to choose the best format later.
• The Auto mode automatically provides highly accurate white balance regardless of the subject's color & reflectivity. Also a white balance bracketing function generates several instances of the same shot with auto white balance settings.
• The GR Digital offers 2 automatic exposure (AE) modes, program shift & aperture priority, as well as a manual exposure mode.
• Throughout the entire shooting cycle, including the AF process, GR Digital works at maximum speed, in combination with fast data writing to memory card, to deliver fast 1.5 second response to sudden shutter opportunities.
• Durable, lightweight and easy to hold, its die-cast magnesium body protects high-precision inner circuitry from electromagnetic interference while exuding a highly satisfying look of genuine, luxurious quality.
• Ricoh developed an elegant one-action, one-button user-interface menu system that lets users instantly call up often-used functions.
• The large 2.5-type color TFT LCD monitor on the back of GR Digital provides 100% field of view. The GR Digital comes with 2 dials, a front dial for selecting the aperture & a rear dial for changing the shutter speed.

VW scandal is raising questions
And how to overcome those barriers
Join the NASDAQ Community today and get free, instant access to portfolios, stock ratings, real-time alerts, and more!
Recently, the board of
American Express Company
) authorized a new share buyback program for 150 million shares.
The new program replaces the earlier 150 million share repurchase
program, which had 70 million shares available for buyback.
Concurrently, American Express also declared a quarterly
dividend of 20 cents per share, payable on May 10 to shareholders
of record as of Apr 5.
The new repurchase authorization is in compliance with
American Express' capital distribution plans approved by the
Federal Reserve earlier this month. The Federal Reserve approved
the company's capital plan for the next one year, giving consent
to hike its dividend by 15% to 23 cents per share from the second
quarter of 2013 and buyback shares worth $3.2 billion in the last
three quarters of 2013 and another $1.0 billion in the first
quarter of 2014.
American Express' received the approval in its second attempt.
The first capital plan was rejected in January as it was
adversely impacting the company's capital ratios.
In the initial plan, the company had proposed to repurchase up
to $4.7 billion of stock in 2013. However, the Federal Reserve
disapproved and authorized a lower share buyback as it was
contracting American Express' Tier 1 ratios to 4.97% - below the
minimum requirement of 5% - in one of the quarters.
American Express currently carries a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold).
Some companies worth considering in the financial sector are
Euronet Worldwide Inc.
SS&C Technologies Holdings, Inc.
) and
Moody's Corp.
). All these companies carry a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy).

Shaq To Charles Barkley: "You Kissed Dick In The Mouth" (Video)
by Glenn Erby | Posted on Friday, April 25th, 2014
No people, it's not what you think.
For those of us who are true NBA lovers, we all remember when Charles Barkley and NBA referee Dick Bavetta kissed during the 2007 NBA All Star Weekend.
Well somehow that infamous kiss ame up on Inside The NBA following the Warriors loss to the Clippers. Leave it up to Shaquille O'Neal to make the subject weird and uncomfortable.
Shaq, asked Barkley, if "he's ever kissed up to them (refs)".
Barkley answered never, which prompted Shaq to respond, "you kissed Dick in the mouth".

- Senior Management
I have been working at PruittHealth full-time
I have been at Pruitt Health for 8 years. I started out at an entry level and was quickly promoted year over year, I have had 3 promotions. My managers have been true mentors and have always shown an interest in my career goals. I have been a nurse in 5 states over 16 years and was truly blessed to find my home at Pruitt. I see comments posted about the Political Action Campaign or Neil's involvement in government relations but during tough economic times in 2011-2013 I was grateful to have a CEO who remained active in state, local & Federal government. Neil is an advocate for an underfunded industry and works to help our patients get every resource available. During the economic crash I had several friends who worked at other healthcare organizations. They lost their jobs or worried about cut backs frequently. Pruitt invested in centers, purchased new centers and even renovated some of the older SNFs to improve the quality of life to our seniors. He made a commitment that Pruitt would not cut positions and that he would continue to invest. The culture is truly "Committed to Caring" with a focus on doing the right thing for the patient and the rest will take care of itself. I do not speak to Neil on a regular basis, I am not part of the Executive Leadership Team but I see him & other leaders in the center often talking to the staff and asking what he can do to make the organization & patient experience great. This is the same spirit my managers have, they always ask about my day or inquire about an assigned project to see if they can help.
The work is challenging but very rewarding, you are tasked daily with caring and a commitment to your patients. That is not something that can be taught, free thinking is encouraged and no one will micromanage you. This reflection allows better programs and processes for our countries most precious and frail population. The thing to remember when you apply at Pruitt Health is that you should be "Committed to Caring" and make that the 1st reason you want to apply.

Protests in the wake of the George Zimmerman not-guilty verdict have been peaceful across most the country, but anger and violence are escalating in California.
At least 13 people were arrested Monday night after multiple acts of vandalism and assaults in the city's Crenshaw District, according to the Associated Press.
The protesters reportedly broke windows, attacked people on sidewalks and even raided a Wal-Mart store.
SEE ALSO: Trayvon Martin's family has little chance for recourse in court
A freeway in the San Francisco Bay Area also was blocked by an angry crowd.
About 150 people were involved in the violence, the Los Angeles Times reported.
At least 350 police officers were called to the scene to contain the crowd. City leaders didn't give details on any injuries suffered during the chaos, but vowed to crack down and stop potential riots before they materialize.
"This will not be allowed to continue," said LAPD Chief Charlie Beck, the L.A. Times reported.
SEE ALSO: PRUDEN: George Zimmerman trial: A bitter lesson in the law
Unlike the situation in L.A., peaceful protests, rallies vigils have taken place across the nation in the days since Mr. Zimmerman was acquitted in a Sanford, Fla., court on Saturday night. He had been charged with second-degree murder in the February 2012 shooting death of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin.
The case stirred emotions on both sides, from those who believed Mr. Zimmerman acted in self-defense to those who argued he profiled Martin as being dangerous because he was black.
Despite anger in the aftermath of Mr. Zimmerman's acquittal, civil rights activists and leaders in the black community have encouraged protesters, including those in L.A., to remain peaceful.
But those calls increasingly are falling on deaf ears in the nation's second-largest city, which has been the site of intense, racially charged violence in the past.
In 1992, deadly riots broke out following the acquittal of four city police officers charged with beating Rodney King.

Blair's bad hair day trumps Cameron's parting of the waves. Official.
I refer, of course, to the story about the parliamentary debate on Trident proving a bigger internet draw than the one about the Conservative leader changing the side on which her parts his hair.
Yes, according to BBC2's The Daily Politics, more people really were interested in the possibilities of nuclear annihilation (880,000 went to the BBC's online coverage in 12 hours) than Cameron's follical mystery (numbers...? don't ask - huge).
A small blow against a media culture dominated by celebrity-type trivia? Just.

Hannaford Supermarkets Releases First-year Results of Guiding Stars,
Nation's First Storewide "Star" Nutrition Rating System
SCARBOROUGH, Maine, Sept. 6 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Consumer selection of foods that offer more nutrition for the calories are outpacing selection of those that don't in many aisles of Hannaford Supermarkets -- in some cases, three to four times faster -- according to data in the year since the company launched Guiding Stars, a unique, easy-to-use storewide system created to help Hannaford shoppers make more informed nutritional choices. Out of a total of more than 25,500 rated food items throughout the store, more than one-quarter (28 percent) receive one, two or three Stars for good, better or best nutritional value.
Promising First-Year Momentum
Data from the first 12 months of Hannaford's program, compared to the same time period one year prior to Guiding Stars' launch in September 2006, reveal:
-- The greatest change was in the packaged foods section of the store --
cereals, commercial bakery (e.g., breads, rolls), canned/jarred foods
(e.g., soups, pasta sauces, fruits, vegetables), dry products (e.g.,
pasta, crackers), snack foods and beverages. Selection of packaged
foods with one, two or three Stars grew steadily at 2 1/2 times the
rate of those without Stars.
-- Selection of fattier meat declined -- Starred ground beef (90% or more
fat-free) selection increased by 7 percent, while ground beef without
Stars dropped by 5 percent. Starred chicken grew at 5 percent, while
chicken without Stars decreased by 3 percent. Movement of all meats
and poultry with Stars grew at more than 2 1/2 times the rate of those
with no Stars.
-- Selection of whole milk (no Stars) dropped by 4 percent, while that of
fat-free milk (three Stars) rose 1 percent.
-- Selection of breakfast cereals

But CBA/J-D's 24-21 lead would not hold up. Cortland again won three straight with a pin, major decision and forfeit to go in front for good, and managed to stay on the mat all six minutes in the next two matches.
So even though Cole Murphy (113) beat Dane George 9-1 and Arsen Bagiryan (120) claimed a 7-1 decision over Ian George, CBA/J-D still trailed, 37-31, and needed a pin from Dustin Harris in the finale at 126, but he lost a technical fall to Grant Tinker.
