Cabforce Announces Partner Program and API Allowing Travel Industry Partners to Offer Taxis for Door-to-Door Travel Experiences
Phoenix, AZ, Nov 13, 2012 (PRWeb.com via COMTEX) -- Today at the PhoCusWright Conference Cabforce has announced their Partner Program, allowing travel industry players to add taxis - the missing link of the travel industry - to their service portfolio creating an unrivaled door-to-door travel experience. Through the Cabforce's Partner Program, partners such as airlines and travel agencies can boost ancillary revenues by reselling pre-priced and pre-booked taxis from Cabforce's rapidly growing European network. Cabforce's integration with partners is designed for flexibility and can plug into any point of the sale. Through Cabforce's Taxi API, customers can search and select taxis within existing booking flows and purchase the ride along with the main product. Cabforce's tech team helps partners with integration and provides example resources to speed up the development.
Alternatively, industry partners can lead customers to Cabforce's booking engine. The engine can be branded with partner graphics and is optimized to work with desktops, tablets, and smartphones. Partners can also securely pass relevant itinerary and passenger information to book a ride, reducing friction for customers. Cabforce has opened the Partner Program to new travel industry partners after the success of its current partnerships, which include Finnair, Estonian Air, CWT Kaleva Travel, Finland Travel Bureau (American Express Business Travel representative), Area (GlobalStar) and Travellink.
This week Cabforce is coming to millions of more touchpoints as they announce partnerships with UK train operator First Great Western to provide door-to-door services for train passengers, a partnership with Travelport to bring Cabforce rides available to Universal Desktop, and with mTrotter to reach out to travelers on mobile devices. "The travel industry has been missing out on a huge opportunity from not being able to offer taxis as part of door-to-door bookings. Now our technology, 24/7 operations, and network of quality suppliers in Europe are available as unique content for distribution within the travel industry. Our partners can now happily promote taxis to their customers along with flights, hotels and rental cars," says Andreas Hansson, CEO of Cabforce.
Travelers have become accustomed to booking flights, hotels, and vacation packages online, but providing true door-to-door service has been previously impossible in Europe due to the fragmented taxi offering. Cabforce consolidates the market by partnering with certified local fleets and providing a unified ride experience with 24/7 customer service in all their destinations. The company makes safe and reliable pre-booking possible because it has a technology platform unlike any other in the industry - its real time pricing platform determines the all-inclusive rate for any trip at the time of booking.
About Cabforce (
) Established in 2009 in Espoo, Finland, Cabforce's founders were fed up with unpredictable, unreliable taxi journeys while abroad and set about creating a network of certified cab providers with a flat-rate, upfront cost - minimizing bill shock and reliability concerns. The service is available on the web, via a free iPhone app, and for partners through a newly launched Partner Program. Travelers can pre-book their taxis, pre-paying a fee that includes all taxes tolls and charges, online and in English. So customers can sit back and enjoy their trip; confident in the knowledge that their taxi will be there when they need it, and has been fully paid for in advance.

The Cold War was more than the product of post-World War II tensions between the United States and the Soviet Union argues John Lewis Gaddis, Robert A. Lovett Professor of History at Yale University. Rather, it was the product of events extending all the way back to the 1830s, when Alexis de Tocqueville predicted that Russia and the United States would become the world's foremost powers. In this lecture, Gaddis examines U.S.-Soviet relations from the nineteenth century through the end of World War II, tracing the myriad causes of the Cold...

NYC Hotels Unite to Launch Triumph Hotels Brand
Thursday February 13th, 2014 - 9:57AM
These are shortcuts to your favorite social networking and bookmark sites. Add this story to your Facebook page, del.icio.us, DiggIt, and many others!
NEW YORK—The Iroquois New York, Hotel Chandler, Hotel Belleclaire, The Cosmopolitan, The Gershwin and The Washington Jefferson—all located here—have come together to form a new, New York City hotel brand, Triumph Hotels.
Triumph owns and manages six hotels in New York City. The brand now has 460,000 sq. ft. and nearly 1,000 rooms in its portfolio.
In the coming year, in addition to seeking opportunities to add new hotels, Triumph will introduce a number of initiatives and programs to enhance the guest experience, including the roll out of a brand loyalty program, rewarding guests for stays at any of the properties; growing the number of packages and promotions to be offered brandwide; and increasing the amount of meeting and event space.
With a growing focus on the food and beverage experience, Triumph will continue to look for like-minded partners in the culinary realm and build on the success of Triomphe in The Iroquois and Juni by Michelin-starred Chef Shaun Hergatt in Hotel Chandler.
The tri-state based private company is family owned and strives to maintain the history and character of its hotels while marrying them with modern comforts.
"As a native New Yorker who grew up in the hospitality business, we worked hard to create hotels, and now a brand, that is rich in architecture, history, design and well-positioned to provide neighborhood-centric experiences," stated co-owner Gerald Barad. "While the collection of hotels have individual identities, they all offer a one-of-a-kind, service-oriented stay that defines the Triumph brand. As a 21st century company, we developed brand standards that encourage personalization, and of course, are distinctly New York."

Well, it's halfway through 2016, and not much has changed since the beginning of the year. Despite the terrorism acts in Orlando, FL and Turkey, and the Brexit referendum, little has happened to affect the travel industry. Overall, things might have slowed a bit, but a majority of the fundamentals are holding steady, including occupancy, ADR and RevPAR. I've been asked why this cycle has lasted longer than those preceding it. As far as I am concerned, it's due to a single phrase: Never Again.

Jessica's Breakdown [Journey of a Thousand Miles 4] (Siren Publishing Menage Everlasting)by Alicia White
View All Available Formats & Editions
[Siren Menage Everlasting: Erotic Menage a Trois Romance, M/F/M, light consensual BDSM, spanking, flogging, sex toys, HEA] Jessica Beckett is in control of every aspect of her life. She started her own online company and loves designing specialty lingerie items. When her friend, Bella, loses her job, they go on a road trip and end up in Coltmann County, Texas. Together, they open a store and set down roots in the small town. Beau and Chase Austin meet Jessica when she arrives in town. She's sweaty, tired, and bossy as heck after walking miles. Luckily, that's the way they like their women. She tells them that it won't work. She likes being the boss in the bedroom and so do they. When Jessica goes out of town on vacation, her friend Bella points both Beau and Chase in the right direction. They follow her to a heavy BDSM club called Iron Gate and soon realize that Jessica isn't the Domme she thinks she is. Maybe the three of them can be together. Note: There is no sexual relationship or touching for titillation between or among siblings. ** A Siren Erotic Romance

The next series up for Serial Sunday is Love and Rockets by Jaime and Gilbert Hernandez. We will be focusing on Jamie's "Locas" books starting with Maggie the Mechanic.
The full reading order will be.
April- Maggie the Mechanic
June- Perla La Loca
July- Penny Century
August- Esperanza
Here is the quick description from amazon:
The first in a series of volumes collecting the Love and Rockets stories of spunky Maggie, her brash best friend and sometimes lover Hopey, and their friends. These are the earliest, punkiest, most heavily sci-fi stories.Celebrating its 25th anniversary in 2007, Love and Rockets will finally be released in its most accessible form yet: as a series of compact, thick, affordable, mass-market volumes that present the whole story in perfect chronological order. The 25th anniversary Love and Rockets celebration continues with this, the first of three volumes collecting the adventures of the spunky Maggie, her annoying best friend and sometime lover Hopey, and their circle of friends, including their bombshell friend Penny Century, Maggie's weirdo mentor Izzyas well as the wrestler Rena Titanon and Maggie's handsome love interest, Rand Race. Maggie the Mechanic collects the earliest, punkiest, most heavily sci-fi stories of Maggie and her circle of friends, and you can see the artist (who drew like an angel from the very first panel) refine his approach: Despite these strong shifts in tone, the stunning art and razor sharp characterizations keep this collection consistent, and enthralling throughout. (Note: A number of these stories were not collected in the hardcover Locas.)

I am trying to decide where to stay in Northstar. I am having problem finding maps of the area. Found the village map on Northstar at Tahoe website and using google maps but i'm trying to put it in perspective.
My decision is between a condo rental on Martis Landing (which seems its pretty isolated) or a location on Northstar drive near Highway 267. Last option is located on Coyote Fork near Northstar Dr.
I've mapped it on goggle maps and the difference in distance is negligible.
Any advice?

The Competition: In The Beginning...
In February of last year I competed in my first American Culinary Federation (ACF) competition.It was held in the culinary building at my school, Johnson and Wales University Denver.The ACF holds competitions all around the country on a regular basis.It entices all ranges of chefs, from student to Executive Chefs, regional teams and single professionals.
Each competition has many categories to test in.Look up your local chapter on how to become involved and more information about a competition.I competed in the Wedding Cakes section, the parameters were to make a wedding cake under three feet tall and was made of all edible ingredients (this meant that I was not allowed to use a dummy cake).
Getting Prepared
When I was first told about the competition, it was only two weeks before the start date.At the time I had no idea about ACF competitions and didn't know that I could enter and compete with some of the most renound chefs in the country.
While in Introduction to Cake Decorating, my chef Elena Clement was the one who encouraged me to enter.She was gracious enough to let me use the lab (one of the kitchens in our culinary building) to make my cake.I was so excited to enter, I have participated in two competitions before, but this would be my first time doing it all on my own.
My Scaling Partner
I made a preliminary drawing and started to plan out how much cake I would need.I enlisted the help of my friend Ericka to help me mix everything up.After class one day we scaled out over 12 pounds of sugar, 12 pounds of butter, 8 pounds of flour, and even 8 cups of baking powder!
The next day in class, I had enough time to mix up the batter after I was done with the rest of my work.Even though I only did half of my cakes in a 20 quart mixing bowl, it was still difficult.I again had the help of Ericka in the mixing process.
The cake is a butter cake that uses the creaming method to prepare it.I only added about a third of the flour and had Ericka try to pulse the paddle of the mixer so the flour didn't fly.Needless to say, that strategy didn't work.Before I knew it, there was flour all over the floor, the mixer, and me! It took over 12 different pans to make enough cake for my finished product.Later that night I was washing batter from my hair, and pouring flour out my shoes…
Two days and over 15 pounds of buttercream later, I was ready to start making my cake!

Yahoo! has announced that they will begin charging developers for their use of BOSS. It won't take effect until sometime in the second quarter at the earliers. They also won't be charging for the first 10,000 API calls per day (depending on the call).
Yahoo! is also releasing SearchMonkey structured data to BOSS developers. Yahoo! gets this data by crawling microformats and RDF, which include embedded semantic markup. Now, API users can access this data.
BOSS was launched last year and it gives web developers the ability to build search engines for websites using Yahoo's search technology.
SearchMonkey was also launched last year to let site owners develop custom listings for search results. So far, several of these listings (aka apps) have been set to default in Yahoo's listings including Yelp, LinkedIn, and Wikipedia.

ZS Fund has acquired Amerijet Holdings, an operator of cargo aircraft under the name Amerijet International, along with logistics services subsidiary ITN Worldwide for an undisclosed sum.
Until now, Freightos has focused on helping forwarders quote faster, but since January, the logistics technology provider has been beta testing its China-to-United States marketplace.
Total cargo throughput at the largest French port fell 3 percent to 39.13 million metric tons in the first six months of 2016 as general cargo volumes remained relatively flat and bulk volumes fell compared with the same 2015 period.
Registration takes less than 1 minute.
The world's largest convenience store chain teamed up with independent drone delivery service Flirtey and the Nevada Institute for Autonomous Systems to conduct the first fully autonomous aircraft delivery to a U.S. customer.
Forget playing the blame game, the fraught implementation of container weighing rules came down to the fact that the container shipping industry has no single trusted information source.
The agriculture shipper advocate praised container weighing methods recently outlined by the Ocean Carrier Equipment Management Association and G6 Alliance carriers, saying terminals nationwide should adopt similar methods.

How Great Women Lead
A Mother-Daughter Adventure Into the Lives of Women Shaping the World
Center Street, Hardcover, 9780446579278, 342pp.
Publication Date: April 24, 2012
In boardrooms and lecture halls, on the field and at home, strong female leaders are making a statement around the globe. In HOW GREAT WOMEN LEAD Bonnie St. John and her teenage daughter, Darcy Deane, explore the qualities that motivate some of the world's most powerful women. Through engaging, out-of-the-spotlight interchanges, the authors discover commonly held values, behaviors, and attitudes, as well as the subtle, special skills inherent in female leaders.
From the ethics of Dr. Condoleeza Rice to the fortitude of Hillary Rodham Clinton to the enthusiasm of Teach for America founder Wendy Kopp and the discipline of Geena Davis, each woman in this book shares the exciting story of her rise to the top and the unique qualities it took to get there.
Her career includes positions as an award-winning sales rep for IBM and a Clinton White House member of staff. She now is a much-in-demand speaker, who makes nearly 100 speeches each year to corporations and civic groups. You can visit her on the Web at www.bonniestjohn.com.
"I have been an avid student of leadership for nearly 40 years, reading thousands of books on leaders from all walks of life and on the general subject of leadership excellence. This is the first book in this territory where my first thought was to share it with my wife and daughter. Bonnie and Darcy have created a fresh conversation about leadership from a woman's perspective which is well crafted and very much needed. I highly recommend it."
---Douglas R. Conant, retired president and CEO, Campbell Soup Company, New York Times Bestselling author of TouchPoints
"Bonnie and Darcy have created a new genre: bringing together inspired narrative with valuable advice from some of the most influential women of our time. This mother-daughter adventure gives us a firsthand account of the journey future female leaders will experience as they embrace the wisdom, strength and influence from those that came before them. As a mother of two daughters, I loved the book!"
---Rohini Anand, senior vice president and global chief diversity officer, Sodexo

-Brian Williams, NBC Nightly News

Skip to comments.Gore TV channel to outfox US rightwing media
Posted on 06/20/2003 3:41:50 AM PDT by harpu
The Guardian
Former US vice president Al Gore is planning to launch a liberal cable TV news network to challenge the dominance of rightwing media such as the market leading Fox News.
Mr Gore, a Democrat who was beaten to the White House by George Bush in a controversial contest three years ago, is talking to financial backers and entertainment veterans about launching the channel.
Although it is not clear what format the liberal network would take, sources close to Mr Gore said the former presidential candidate was firmly behind the venture.
"He can pull out at any time. He can say, 'This isn't my deal'. But he's interested, " one associate told Time magazine.
Mr Gore wants the venture to counter the increasing dominance of hard right republican views on America's TV and radio networks.
He has described sections of the US media as the "fifth column" that inserts "daily Republican talking points into the definition of what's objective".
Although the UK's independent television commission yesterday cleared Fox News of pro-war bias, commentators on both sides on the Atlantic complained about its one-sided portrayal of the Iraq conflict.
Mr Gore, who recently said he would not run for the White House in 2004, has been developing ideas for the network with Joel Hyatt, the founder of Hyatt Legal Services, a chain of low-cost legal clinics.
Once source told Time the venture would put "video cameras in the hands of kids," while another said it would be "something totally different in concept and format" to traditional cable news channels such as CNN.
Mr Gore has always blamed the conservative media for his narrow defeat in the 2000 presidential election.
"The media is kind of weird these days on politics and there are some major institutional voices that are, truthfully speaking, part and parcel of the Republican party," Mr Gore said in an interview with the New York Observer last year.
"Fox News Network, The Washington Times , Rush Limbaugh - there's a bunch of them, and some of them are financed by wealthy ultra-conservative billionaires who make political deals with Republican administrations and the rest of the media."

Here's a clue. If ya can't run with the Big Dogs, stay on the porch.
Ohfercryinoutloud............not this "VRWC" bulls**t again...........................
Compare that fatuous conceit with the routine herding of "the great objective journalistic class" toward whatever puts Republicans in a bad light!
Brit Hume provides what struck me as a classic example in a discussion of the reporters' "quagmire."
Whores like Gore never use their own money...it is always "OPM"
Excellent. Best description of Gore that I have heard in a long time.
"Here's a clue. If ya can't run with the Big Dogs, stay on the porch."
"the critics of "right-wing" dominated media can never name any other outlet than Fox, Wash. Times and Limbaugh.
Limbaugh is only a talk-show host, not an outlet at all."
I'm put in mind of a book touted by Walter Williams as a substitute host for Rush. The Morality of Humor (or laughter?) was the title. The one thing I remember the author (Professor Francis Buckley) saying to Williams was that "the ideologue is incapable of humor." Which suggests that "a liberal Rush" won't actually be liberal--or will be unfunny. Humor has to have truth in it, and you can set your watch by the fact that there's much more predictive value (truth) in "conservative" Fox News than in The News We Kept To Ourselves CNN.
The drooling, leftist, conceited, sniveling, spoiled, butt-breath piece of snot will take credit for it only if it takes off (which it won't).
nope, never happen. He's a liberal... and what do liberals do... they get OTHER people's money.. usually hardworking people's money to fund their nut ball utopian schemes.
The only thing we can hope for is that it's a liberal.. like Turner (whose down to his last billion..hahahha).
Maybe that babe from Canada who Clinton is hoping to "do" will fund the
Liberal News Network.
However it will probably be called the "Moderate News Network"
or "Fiscally Conservative Socially Moderate Republican Network" or even best of all
"Public Broadcasting Network".
Why not, he invented it once already . . .
He must be talking about the TV broadcast media, which spews 100% DNC talking points 24/7.
Then there is broadcast radio media talkshows with noted Liberals Glen Beck, Jim Bohannon, Phil Hendrie, Art Bell, Rush, Michael Savage, and the Black Avenger. All Liberal as the day is long. What is Al 'One Flew Over the Cookoo's Nest' Gore doing with this except hyping a new business venture?
"He can pull out at any time..." one associate told Time magazine.
There's nothing like committment. LOL

Why not adapt the solution ikegami suggested a few weeks back on the Near equal partitions. thread?
Sample output
It ensures that partitions never differ by more than 1 in size and avoids rounding errors. On benchmark results it is also marginally faster (4-8%) than the code in the OP (actual result varies between runs)
Benchmark code
Update: added that it avoids rounding errors.
Update: minor revision to account for OP desiring range to go from 0..$M ($M+1 values) not 0..($M-1), i.e. $M values.

I am working the acts-as-taggable-on gem and have a question about how to filter down search results based on tags users select. Here's an abridged look at my controller:
class PhotosController < ApplicationController
def index
@photos = Photo.where(["created_at > ? AND is_approved = ?", 1.months.ago, true])
@tags = ["Animals", "Architecture", "Cars", "Flowers", "Food/Drink", "General", "Landscape", "Mountains", "Nature"]
def search_by_tag(tag)
@photos = Photo.where('tagged_with LIKE ?', tag)
<% @tags.each do |tag| %>
<%= link_to tag, {:search_by_tag => tag}, :class => "tag" %>
<% end %>
This lists out all of the tags from the hash
@tags defined in
index, but clicking them doesn't actually filter anything down. Here's a look at what clicking one of those links produces in the log:
Started GET "/photos?search_by_tag=Animals" for 127.0.0.1 at Sun Oct 09 17:11:09 -0400 2011
Processing by PhotosController#index as HTML
Parameters: {"search_by_tag"=>"Animals"}
SQL (0.5ms) SELECT name FROM sqlite_master WHERE type = 'table' AND NOT name = 'sqlite_sequence'
The result I want is for the page to display only Photos that are
tagged_with whichever tag was clicked on. I can't quite figure out how to accomplish this.
(Side-question: I can't seem to find a way to list out all of the tags from the
tags table that acts-as-taggable-on generated. Doing something like
Photo.tagged_with or
Photo.tags doesn't work. I am able to see the "tags" table the gem created, and the entries inside of it; I'm just not really clear how to handle that using this gem)
Any thoughts greatly appreciated.
I've updated my code and am a bit closer.
class PhotosController < ApplicationController
def search_by_tag
@photos = Photo.tagged_with(params[:tag_name])
<% Photo.tag_counts_on(:tags).map(&:name).each do |tag| %>
<%= link_to tag, {:action => 'search_by_tag', :tag_name => tag}, :class => "tag" %>
<% end %>
I believe this is closer, but still working through this...

$theTitle=wp_title(" - ", false); if($theTitle != "") { ?>
While vacationing in Bora Bora with model Jayde Pierce (how stunning is she), Justin Bieber decided to go for a swim au naturel. Though it was at a private resort, a sneaky paparazzo somehow got within striking distance and snapped the 21-year-old with his junk exposed. I have to say, it's not what I expected.
The New York Daily News first published the photos but used black boxes to cover up his naughty bits. To check out the unfiltered NSFW pics, click here.
Though an argument can be made that the "What Do You Mean" singer should've known better. You gotta feel bad for the guy. He thought he was at a private resort and away from sketchy paparazzi when the pics were taken without his consent or knowledge.
Do you think the NY Daily News should've published them? Do you think Justin's privacy was violated? Or since he's a celebrity, are all bets are off? Weigh in below.
What do you get when you put five dancers using the hottest gadget out right now and Justin Bieber's infectious tropical house hit "What Do You Mean?" You get an epic viral clip. Warning though, don't try to recreate the magic on your own without plenty of protective gear. This is just painful accident waiting to happen.
David Moore choreographed and directed this clip featuring dancers riding around in an abandoned warehouse on their hands-free segways. The ease that these guys glide over the floor is sick. I totally want to try it, but I know my limitations. Check out the insane clip below.
Arguably, Justin Bieber and Bryan Adams are two of Canada's biggest male exports when it comes to the music recording industry. Though a bit random, their duet is something that would make any Canuck feel a little national pride.
While promoting their respective new albums in Germany, the two joined forces during the Universal Inside 2015 conference. Surprisingly, they chose to perform an acoustic version of Bieber's hit "Baby," with Justin taking over Ludacris' rap verse. Check it out below.
With the 2015 MTV VMAs airing on Sunday night, many artists seized the moment to debut music videos. Taylor Swift, Miley Cyrus and Nick Jonas all premiered new clips. Justin Bieber joined in on the action by dropping the accompanying visual for his well-received new single "What Do You Mean?"
Given that the Poo Bear and Skrillex co-production has a tropical house sound, I was expecting the music video would be a sunny lighthearted affair. Boy, was I wrong.
Instead, the Brad Furman-directed clip features The Biebs concocting an elaborate prank that involves John Leguizamo abducting his on-screen love interest played by model Xenia Deli. After being bound and gagged, his girlfriend finds herself at a surprise underground skateboarder rave. Now that's romance 😉 Check out the random music video below.
For a good while there, Justin Bieber was the butt of every joke due to his antics and doucey behavior. His music was just an afterthought. The 21-year-old started to turn things around when he did a public mea culpa. He also wisely joined in on the joke by participating in a Comedy Central roast. With his image on an upswing, the Biebs is shifting focus on his music. After all, that's what initially catapulted him to stardom.
"What Do You Mean" is the lead cut off his forthcoming fourth studio album due out on November 13. The Poo Bear and Skrillex co-production is a laidback breezy affair. It's actually quite good and has already topped the iTunes chart. I love the light tropical vibe of the track. This has potential to become a huge hit for the Canadian singer. Check out the lyric video below featuring skateboarder Ryan Sheckler.
Within hours of releasing his "Energy" music video on Apple Music, Drake was already embroiled in a bit of controversy. The 28-year-old Canadian rapper was inundated with accusations of using 'whiteface' for his latest visual.
Along with superimposing his face on celebrities like Oprah Winfrey, Kanye West, OJ Simpson and Barrack Obama, he also appeared as Justin Bieber, Miley Cyrus and former Toronto mayor Rob Ford. It's for the caucasian personalities he's getting a bit of heat for from social media trolls. Some were 'offended' to others suggesting he gets a pass because he's light skinned.
Personally, I think people are overreacting. I don't think his intentions were malicious. The same can be said for those celebs accused for using 'blackface' when clearly they're not coming from a mean racist place. Do you agree or not? Are people being too sensitive? Watch the video below and weigh in afterward.
It's probably not the first time people have drawn on The Biebs' face. At least this time though, it's not penises or other raunchy graffiti scribbled on his mug.
Skrillex and Diplo finally unveiled the music video for their Justin Beiber-assisted hit "Where Are Ü Now." The track is off the electronic duo's joint music project, Skrillex and Diplo Present Jack U.
Back in May, artists were invited to a Los Angeles gallery to draw photos on Justin's face. Some of the submissions were chosen for the clip. Skrillex and Diplo released a statement explaining the video's concept. Check out the video below.
"We are being overwhelmed, in a good way, by the success of 'Where Are Ü Now' with Justin Bieber, so with the video we wanted to just take it back to the beginning of the record & essentially create an ode to our fans," thee said in a statement.
"Doing what we do, it's entirely all about the fans. We walk a fine line by being 'famous' and in the public eye but we are only here because of you, the fans," they continued. "Justin wrote this record during a tough time in his life and it comes to us that sometimes, as artists, we are also just objects and we have to take that as much as we have to use that to create. We all do this for you, respect that you put us here and it's Ü that made the video."
"Working on something big right now in Europe. To learn more follow me on Fahlo. He is so hot right now," Justin Beiber wrote on Facebook a couple of days ago. Hindsight is 20/20 and it was pretty obvious what the Canadian singer was hinting at.
Ben Stiller announced the 21-year-old is making a cameo in Zoolander 2 by posting a photo of the two engaging in a Blue Steel face-off. Valiant effort on The Beibs part, but Stiller is still the undisputed king when it comes to serving the iconic look.
Excited to see Justin's cameo in the highly-anticipated sequel? Zoolander 2 struts its way into theaters on February 12, 2016. Weigh in below.

- Regulatory review on the pending merger between Reynolds American (NYSE:RAI) Lorillard (NYSE:LO) will hinge on the Newport menthol brand, according to analysis.
- A survey of retailers by Wells Fargo showed a strong sense that Newport will be approved to be part of the Reynolds Every Day Low Price program which could help sales grow.
- Reynolds could also flex its muscles with retailers if Newport is part of the program.
- The addition of Newport to EDLP could squeeze out some newly-added Imperial Tobacco (OTCQX:ITYBY, OTCPK:ITYBF) brands such as Kool, Salem, Winston, and Maverick.

- The settlement is far less than the $500M-plus the industry has had to pay winning plaintiffs in Florida over the past decade, but it leaves unresolved more than 3,000 cases pending in state courts, cases that are bigger and more potentially damaging.
- MO and RAI each will pay $42.5M to resolve ~400 federal cases, and LO will pay $15M.

To amalgamate micro-finance, mentoring, community economic development, and capacity building into an integrated service that empowerings the poor, the vulnerable, and the marginalized.
Micro-Enterprise Development: Through MED the working poor (or economically active poor) receive small loans, mentoring and training that changes their lives. Their businesses grow, increasing the security and well-being of their families, and most importantly, creating a foundation of hope for the future.
Families at Risk: Through our community child development centers and our "Keeping Families Together" (non-institutional orphan care) programs, Step Ahead equips village leaders, families and churches to help the community create a sense of caring support for each other, while safe-guarding those at risk, especially widows, orphans, women, and children.
Capacity Building: Step Ahead pursues a commitment to excellence and growth that encourages our people- staff and beneficiaries- to seek opportunities to discover their potential through professional and personal development and has created an atmosphere of collaboration, creativity, and continuous personal development. Step Ahead provides a variety of activities and services for program participants and community members from pre-school children to teens, young adults, women at risk, the working poor, the unemployed, and the marginalized. These activities and trainings range from computer training to TESOL, to kids clubs.
Community Economic Development: (CED) is action taken locally in a community to provide economic opportunities and improve social conditions in a sustainable way. CED initiatives aim to create alternative livelihoods for the poor, vulnerable and marginalized by "localizing economics" through a community-centered process that blends social and economic development to foster the economic, social, ecological and cultural well-being of communities. Step Ahead, working closely with community members and leaders, has gradually explored and expanded into a variety of economic stimulation activities to support community development and capacity building from designer ladies purse production to growing mushrooms, breeding goats to farming orchids, and launching eco-tourism programs.
Our Core Values:
-Excellent service whether in Microfinance, Community Development or language/computer/hospitality training is the foundation for genuine growing developmental relationships.
-We respect and honor all people. We earn the right to be heard. (Friends can talk and be trusted.)
- Commitment to lifelong and participatory learning.
