AbstractThis paper describes a realization of a bipolar current source developed by the paper's authors. The source is intended for use in galvanic and other industrial plants, where a pulse-reverse current supply (with the desired shape in time) is required. A prototype of the device, which provides the outcome current intensity up to ± 50 A, has been constructed. The hardware of the source consists of a Pentium IV PC, a commercial ADDA converter, an interface of authors' original construction as well as a current regulator. The application software is developed using a commercial packet LabView as the basis.
Keywords: Bipolar current source; interface; hardware; application software; PC control.

DESTIN, Fla. -- Florida president Bernie Machen backed off
his playoff football proposal after conferring with colleagues at
the Southeastern Conference's spring meeting.
Machen decided it's better to work within the confines of the
current Bowl Championship Series system.
"What we learned today from my colleagues is that we see the
world pretty much the same way," Machen said Friday on the final
day of the annual meeting. "We see the problems in the current
"They are persuaded, and I am now persuaded, that the best way
to proceed is to try to work within the BCS structure, to make some
changes to make it better. That seems to me to be a very good way
to go."
The basis of his proposal was to form a limited liability
corporation that, much like the BCS, would work outside the
framework of the NCAA. He wanted to keep the current bowl structure
intact and distribute revenue to all 119 Division I-A schools
instead of keeping most of the money for the schools in the six BCS
They are persuaded, and I am now persuaded, that the best way to proceed is to try to work within the BCS structure, to make some changes to make it better. That seems to me to be a very good way to go.
Florida president Bernie Machen
Machen began devising a playoff plan after it appeared last
December that the Gators would miss the BCS title game. His plan
didn't include details of how many teams would be involved in the
playoff or when and where games would be played.
"We had a full and open discussion about postseason football,
ranging from a playoff to the status quo," said SEC commissioner
Mike Slive, who's also the BCS coordinator. "I can assure you that
the First Amendment was alive and well in the meeting. The end
result of the discussion was that our presidents and chancellors
are not interested in pursuing a playoff -- but they have asked me
... to take a hard look at the BCS and what improvements we think
might be made over the next couple of years."
Officials from three other BCS conferences -- the Big 12, the
Atlantic Coast Conference and the Big East -- all agree that they
should continue working within the BCS system, Slive said.
Still, he acknowledged that the BCS is far from perfect.
"We remain open-minded to find ways to work within this system
to make it work in a way that might be better for many of us,"
Slive said. "We'll continue to do that."
The Pac-10 and the Big Ten have been strongly opposed to a
playoff, wanting to stick closely to the Rose Bowl tradition.
Coaches across the country said they would be hesitant to back a
plan that might devalue the bowl system.
Vanderbilt chancellor Gordon Gee didn't like the message the
proposal sent.
"We've been consistent all along that we're trying to bring
some semblance of integrity and some semblance of balance back into
what we're doing, and this moves in exactly the wrong direction,"
Gee said. "This is a slippery slope toward us finally just
throwing in the towel and saying what we're about is fielding
football teams and we have a university on the side, and I'm just
not in favor of that."

New York City Marathon Significantly Raises Entry Fee
The rates spiked about $60.
Owing in part to the NYPD's imposition of traffic control and related costs, the New York City Marathon event organizers have jacked up the registration fee about $60, or 24 to 39 percent, depending on the entrant. New York Road Runners will have to pay $216 for the November race, compared to $156 last year. Non-member U.S. residents will have to pony up $255, versus $196 in 2011. That's about $10 per mile.
According to the New York Times, the NYPD told the Road Runners at the end of 2010 that it would begin charging the event to recoup expenses incurred from managing traffic.
Less expensive alternatives to suffering chafed nipples are the Chicago Marathon, which costs runners $150, and the Boston Marathon, about $130.

A silver lining has emerged from the moldy walls of Cheltenham's Cedarbrook Middle School: an accelerated and harmonious decision to realign the district's primary grades.
Cedarbrook was abandoned in March after it was found to be wracked by mold and uninhabitable. That decision came after seven months of debate that pitted neighbor against neighbor, and a plan that many called the least bad option.
At the end of that tumultuous year, parents, teachers, and administrators agreed that the new middle school should be built to accommodate not only grades seven and eight, but also five and six.

Product Description
From Library Journal
In this admirable novel, Steffler re-creates a little-known episode in Canadian history. In 1770, George Cartwright became the first European to trade successfully with the Inuit Eskimos of Labrador. Though he had to imitate Inuit ways to survive, he remained unalterably convinced of the superiority of all things European. He strove to "civilize" the Inuit, who saw no reason to change. A junket to England has disastrous consequences for the tribe; the Inuit bring back the pox, which destroys them all. Cartwright was the prototypical exploiter, ceaselessly manipulating people but filled with zest for life. After his death, his shade wanders the English countryside, seeking a resolution to his wasted life. "I should have learned to worship instead of slaughter," he reflects. Steffler successfully blends history and imagination to produce a brilliant novel without a false note anywhere. Enthusiastically recommended.

From Kirkus Reviews
George Cartwright--a little-known 18th-century explorer, trapper, and author of A Journal of Transactions and Events During a Residency of Nearly Sixteen Years on the Coast of Labrador--died of old age at home in England in May 1819. In a stunningly rich and delicate first novel, Canadian poet Steffler posits and follows Cartwright's ghost of 170 years as it wanders the English roads in the spring of his death and reflects on a passionate life gone oddly awry at every turn. For Steffler's Cartwright--one of ten children raised by a country squire--the purpose of life itself became the pristine, powerful, perilous wilderness that he was among the first Englishmen to visit in Newfoundland and Labrador in the 1770's. Having hired ships and crew, Cartwright planned to collect furs and other bounty and return home a rich man. Instead, he fell in love with the rivers and forests, the hunting, trapping, and fishing, and the native peoples of the mountainous Labrador coast. But he couldn't build a life: The punishing winters killed his crews, fires burned his storehouses, and the ships he hired for return trips were lost or damaged. In one heartrending series of mishaps, the beloved Eskimos Cartwright brings to London as cynical inducements to his creditors to be lenient contract smallpox; they die horrible deaths on the journey back and spread the pestilence to the New World. Finally, pirates invade Cartwright's renewed stocks of furs, his workers mutiny, and even his loyal, stalwart English mistress rebels against his self-absorption, and Cartwright, bewildered, returns to England. There, he becomes a florid, tale-telling barracks-master. Steffler, however, lovingly gives him a second life--one in which, as he wanders alone through the perpetual English spring of his youth, he is permitted to discover his intentions and his mistakes and finally to die nobly, as he might have done in Labrador. Based in part on Cartwright's Journal, a keen, richly hued, and utterly enchanting imaginative reconstruction of a life. -- Copyright ©1993, Kirkus Associates, LP.

Marvel Assembles an Official Title for Third "Avengers" Movie
Comic Books, Film
There are several cool quotes in this post by Atomic Robo writer Brian Clevinger, especially in the letter from a mom whose 6-year-old son is now reading at a fifth-grade level thanks entirely to his love of comics, specifically Atomic Robo and other Red 5 comics. In fact, he loves them so much that he took an issue of Atomic Robo to school to read to his classmates. You can see whether they loved it from the photo.
The part that really got my attention, though, is in Clevinger's comments at the end:
I would just like to point out that Volume 6, Atomic Robo and the Ghost of Station X, is the darkest story we've told. Yet it's still appropriate for children.
It's no secret there are still comics that are appropriate for kids. Marvel and DC are even making a couple themselves. But after a week or so of focusing on the comics that aren't appropriate for children, it's refreshing to see a story about one that's not only kid-friendly, but as Clevinger points out, "universally praised by adults" as well.
Atomic Robo rocks.
Ditto. Great pic, great story.
Careful with that "universally" word. It's true, it gets much praise, and deservedly so. Just sayin'.
I have ten nieces & nephews, between the ages of 3-13, and several of them have taken to the age-appropriate piles of comics I bring (or mail) to them.
They especially enjoy: the two Batman The Brave & The Bold cartoon titles, the Shanower & Young "Oz" adaptations from Marvel, Jeff Smith's Bone, and Robinson & Smith's "Leave it to Chance". Also: DC's Scooby Doo, the various Muppet Show books from BOOM!, Marvel's Franklin Richards: Son of a Genius, and various Disney comics (both old and new) from across the decades.
Adults doing the footwork for their young relatives is a lot better than grousing about the titles that "should be" age-appropriate. Solutions please, not complaints from the oversoft couch!
And as an aside, when I was a kid I devoured all kinds of books (from Richie Rich to Archie to DC & Marvel superheroes up through all of the war and horror books of the 60s and 70s) without being scarred for life or having my parents pull out their hair because some of them were too mature. Sure things are different now, but if one can't find suitable comics on today's new issue racks, then just go to a yard sale or flea market and grab a cheap stack of old comics from someone else's attic or basement – it was fine for me, and an added bonus for me was trying to fill in the missing issues on my own.
Hopefully this didn't come across as snarky or offensive. I just find it hard to sit silent when I figured out the simple solutions (and put them forth) while so many others seem to have such a hard time with getting young people into comics
Why is everyone griping about the sex in 5% of the New 52, and not the violence in the other 95%? How is one less appropriate for children than the other?
@ Josh…
If you remove violence from comics what kind of book would you have? What would be the source of the conflict for the protagonist? Would you rather see superman save people from a hurricane? Would you like to see Batman pull a pet cat out of a tree? What is Green Arrow supposed to do with his arrows if he doesn't shoot them at someone?
Please enlighten this comic collector/reader of 23 years.
Atomic Robo is the best comic you're not buying.
Seriously go buy it and have some FUN!

Costa Rica: Top psychologists slam attempts at gay 'cure' therapy
Post your comment
Comments on this article are now closed.
Reader comments
Having visited Costa Rica , it never occured to me that they would have that position on homosexuallity. But realizing the Catholic Church has such an influential hold on the population aswell as the Government I guess it is not a surprise.It just bothers me that such a gentle and friendly people would be so influenced in such an evil way.This also includes the Philippines aswell. Gay and transexual people are so visible in the culture from movies to regular inclusions by the general population.It seems strange that there is such an Official Stand of the Govn. and Church in these states. I wonder what would happen and what the Population would do if the Church or Government really tried to move against LGBT communities there.It seems the Church and the general population are at odds over their future.This is probably why the church and state have not tried any open move against the LGBT communities in these countries.The Backlash may prove to be too much for them to handle.
The church has managed to exert influence on the government not to introduce equal marriage though.
Another piece of ammunition Boris Johnson can use in court.
Costa Rica is a highly catholicised country. It will never modernise while the church holds such a stranglehold over the place. If the West hadn't broken free of Vatican influences, we'd all still be forced to believe the earth is flat. Most organised, uber-wealthy religions are repressive, regressive and divisive. We need to move away from the dark ages.

Sickert loved the theatre. He had admired the actress Peggy Ashcroft from one of her earliest stage appearances, as Desdemona in Shakespeare's tragedy Othello in 1930. This portrait was painted when Sickert was in his seventies; at this stage he often chose his subjects from newspaper images, in this case a photograph from the Radio Times of the actress on holiday in Venice. The painting's dry, grainy texture, and non-naturalistic, shadowless colouring puts a distance between background, figure and viewer. This painting combines two of Sickert's favourite themes: Venice and theatre.

September 2015
Panama has historically served as the crossroads of trade for the Americas. Its strategic location as a bridge between two oceans and the meeting of two continents has made Panama not only a maritime and air transport hub, but also an international trading, banking, and services center. Panama's is enhancing its global and regional prominence though trade liberalization and privatization and it is participating actively in the hemispheric movement toward free trade agreements. Panama's dollar-based economy offers low inflation in comparison with neighboring countries and zero foreign exchange risk. Its government is stable and democratic and actively seeks foreign investment in all sectors, especially services, tourism and retirement properties.
Due to the country's historic evolution, which focused resources overwhelmingly on services and transactions, the assembly and manufacturing sectors – largely comprised of production of items such as processed foods, chemical products, construction materials and a small and declining clothing sector - remain severely underdeveloped. Great income disparities characterize Panama's economy, with social and economic inequalities marked by a high percentage of the population living at or near the poverty level with significant underemployment and limited education and other social benefits.
In 2010 the three major credit rating agencies – Standard & Poor's, Moody's, and Fitch - all raised their credit ratings for Panama to investment grade, granting the Government of Panama international recognition for recent tax reforms and its record of steady GDP growth while keeping its deficits under control. The investment-grade rating both lowers the cost of borrowing for the Government of Panama and sends a positive signal to foreign investors.
Panama's economy is based primarily on a well-developed services sector, accounting for about 75% of GDP. Services include the Panama Canal, banking, activities in the Colón Free Trade Zone, insurance, container ports, and flagship registry. The country is close to completing a $5.25+ billion expansion of the Panama Canal which, when finished, will allow significantly larger vessels to transit, and which has the potential to alter shipping routes to and from multiple U.S. ports. This project, in conjunction with the expansion of the capacities of its ports on both the Atlantic and Pacific coasts and ongoing investment in regional fueling operations, will solidify Panama's global logistical advantage in the Western Hemisphere.
This logistical platform has aided the success of the Colón Free Zone (CFZ), the second largest in the world, which has become a vital trading and transshipment center serving the region and the world. CFZ imports – a broad array of luxury goods, electronic products, clothing, and other consumer products - arrive from all over the world to be resold, repackaged, and reshipped, primarily to regional markets. Because of this product mix, U.S. brand market share is significant, even if most of those products are made in Asia.
The U.S. is Panama's most important trading partner, with about 30% of the import market, and U.S. products enjoy a high degree of acceptance in Panama. In 2014, U.S. exports to Panama reached $10.4 billion – in no small part because Panama's economy grew 6.2% that year. However, international competition for sales is strong across many sectors including telecommunications equipment, automobiles, heavy construction equipment, consumer electronics, computers, apparel, gifts, and novelty products.
The Trade Promotion Agreement (TPA) between the U.S. and Panama that went into effect in October 2012 will continue to offer U.S.-made goods a competitive advantage. For 87% of U.S.-made goods, tariffs dropped to 0% immediately. However, Panama's average tariff on goods is only 7% and in several key sectors – sales of consumables to the Government for the Canal expansion and other infrastructure projects, automobiles, and goods for use in hotels – duties are either 0% or are waived.
Panama has full FTAs in force with the following countries or economies: El Salvador, Taiwan, Singapore, Chile, Costa Rica, Honduras, Guatemala, Nicaragua, Peru, U.S., Canada, and Mexico. Panama has partial trade agreements with the Dominican Republic and Cuba. It signed an agreement with Colombia, which has not yet entered into force. It is also part of the Central America-EU FTA that entered into force in 2013. Panama is an observer to the Pacific Alliance, and has expressed an interest in joining the group. It continues to negotiate FTAs with Korea and Israel.

Panama's inflexible labor laws are a source of concern for prospective investors. Firing practices are excessively regulated, reducing labor mobility and inhibiting hiring. While inexpensive in global terms, Panama's minimum wage is relatively high in a Central American context. In addition, competent technical employees fluent in English may be difficult to find. These labor issues, coupled with relatively high costs for electricity, result in higher-than-average unit production costs in Panama.
Instances of questionable government practices have affected U.S. investors in Panama. These include bidding procedures, contract obligations, and a slow and imperfect judicial system. The Martinelli administration, which completed its term in June 2014, had announced an ambitious agenda of fiscal reform, anticorruption and transparency improvements, and reform of the Social Security system. With the exception of fiscal reform, however, there was little to no progress on these fronts. The current Varela administration faces enormous challenges in continuing economic growth, implementing educational and judicial reform, and improving Panama's business competitiveness standing in the region.
International indices generally rate Panama as one of the best countries in Latin America for business and investment. At the same time, however, U.S. investors have voiced concerns about corruption and inconsistent treatment. For these reasons, we encourage U.S. companies interested in investing in Panama to read our report on Investing in Panama thoroughly and to contact us for more information. We also recommend that Americans interested in purchasing property in Panama review the U.S. Citizens Services note, here.
Panama has no restrictions on the outflow of capital or outward direct investment. Its accession to the World Trade Organization in mid-1997 opened up trade and lowered tariffs across the board, giving Panama the lowest average tariff rate in Latin America. Panama's recognition of the U.S. sanitary and phytosanitary system and the creation of a new Food Safety Authority have essentially eliminated the previous slow and arbitrary procedures for issuing permits for U.S. food products.
Consumer attitudes and many brand preferences are similar to those in the U.S. Many U.S. television, radio, and magazines are popular and available in Panama. Upper-income Panamanians frequently travel to the U.S. for vacation, medical treatment, study, and business, and their buying patterns and tastes are similar to those of U.S. consumers.
U.S. goods and services enjoy a reputation for high quality and are highly competitive. Panama has in recent years established itself as a regional competitor to Miami for consumer retail, which may result in a larger market than its domestic population would indicate. The country boasts the highest per capita GDP in the region. However, income distribution is highly skewed toward a relatively small, consumer goods-oriented and economically powerful class, which enjoys a high level of disposable income. These consumers prefer high quality trend-setting goods, where price is often a secondary determinant in the purchasing decision.
Due to its open economy, Panama has few market access problems. One of the more common market entry options is to appoint an agent or distributor. Another option is to find a local partner who can provide market knowledge and contacts. Other businesses have been successful via licenses or franchises.
The U.S. Commercial Service offers U.S. companies market entry assistance through a variety of services, any of which can be tailored to suit your needs. We also will work to defend your business interests in Panama if the need arises. We measure ourselves on our ability to help you do more business in Panama.
Given the ease of air travel between the U.S. and Panama, our Gold Key Service (GKS) is our most popular offering. This service connects you with qualified potential representatives, distributors, partners, or customers. The U.S. Embassy will conduct background checks, set up the meetings, and provide translation and driving services as part of the service.

I am unable to view group pages from the front end, even as group admin/admin
The page displayed says
"This is somewhat embarrasing, isn't it?
It seems we can't find what you are looking for. Perhaps searching, or one of the links below, can help."
Then it lists

So it would appear to be looking for "posts" not "pages"
As I said in another thread I can find and view the page from the back end
It also seems that by default it opens a new tab
the link shown on mouseover is http://localhost/wpress/groups/san-fransisco-collaboratory/gpages/sfc-spreadsheet
whereas at the back end the link is to
if I change the url to the above of course it finds it but if I change it to
http://localhost/wpress/groups/san-fransisco-collaboratory/gpages=sfc-spreadsheet it does not - implying that the path is inappropriate.
Does anyone have a similar problem?
It seems maybe that bpge-loader.php is the right area to look but I don't know.

if the gop weren't such zombie numbskulls they never would have taken a $5.6 trillion projected surplus and turned it into a $5 trillion deficit, or charged off on the $ trillions of wmd hunting in iraq, nor increased the medicare "entitlement" ............. W's 1st budget was $1.9 trillion and his last was about $3.5 trillion.......... an increase in federal government spending FAR MORE than any spending increase since...............................all of what the gop did and want to do again is so bad for the county and so amazingly stupid and dishonest that it defies comprehension......... but then the gop are the ones who talk about how Noah put dinosaurs on the ark and how the earth is 9000 years old and they compare women to farm animals and they the worship man with alzheimers, Ronnie Reagan , the shill for big tobacco and man who TRIPLED the usa debt .., and when Mitt lies to them they eat it up............. a lot of the gop are clearly loony.
A great many people believe false stories about scripture and politics. The "days" in the creation story have a different meaning than a 24 hour one. The word translated "day" actually means "an endless age." They also took the word "ertets" which simply means "a land or country" any land or country and turned into Ararat and try to say that the ark came to rest on that mountain. That mountain was never called Ararat untill a little over 100 years ago. It used to be called Mt. Massiv. Again, you need to learn how the corrupt money system in this country operates with "monetized debt". ALL your corrupt pols are tied up with it. It necessitates an ever increasing debt and inflation. It's the biggest Ponzi scheme in existence today. The crooks that run it intend to set it up worldwide. Do a little reading on the subject. Try "The Creature From Jekyll Island."
it's no wonder the USA rejected them

A beautiful resort would be nothing without an incredible team behind it. Here at Round Hill, we are surrounded by an immensely talented staff of men and women who are truly the heartbeat of our resort. It is because of these individuals and their teams that awards are won and guests return year after year.
Meet the Management Team at Round Hill:
Managing Director
Josef Forstmayr has been welcoming guests to Round Hill Hotel and Villas since he started as managing director of the resort in 1989. Under Josef's direction, Round Hill has won countless prestigious awards and accolades including World Travel Awards' World's Leading Villa Resort for 11 consecutive years, AAA's Four Diamond Award of Excellence and has been featured on Condé Nast Traveler's Gold List and Travel + Leisure's World's Best List.
Josef has a passion for all things Jamaican and has lived in the country since 1979. His love and enthusiasm for Jamaica and the Caribbean led to his appointment in April 2010 as President of the Caribbean Hotel & Tourism Association (CHTA). During his tenure, Josef raised awareness of the importance of tourism throughout the Caribbean with the CHTA's "Tourism is Key" advocacy campaign.
Josef currently serves as a director of the Jamaica Tourist Board, The Montego Bay Chamber of Commerce and is the chairman of the Montego Bay Arts Council. He was president of the Jamaica Hotel & Tourist Association (JHTA) from June 2001 – 2003 and is also the Honorary Consul for the Republic of Austria.
In 2005, Josef received The Order of Distinction in the Rank of Officer for his contribution to Jamaica's Tourism industry. He was named Hotelier of the Year by the JHTA in 1993 and 1996 and Caribbean Hotelier of the Year by the Caribbean Hotel Association in 2007. Josef was born in Steyr, Austria and is fluent in German, English, French and Italian. He attended the University of Salzburg where he studied Economic Sciences and Tourism and the School of Hotel Administration at Cornell University.
General Manager
Omar Robinson joined the Round Hill team in 2003 as the property's resident manager. He then served as director of operations before being named general manager in 2007. Fully dedicated to promoting tourism to Jamaica, Omar has served as the co-chairman of the Montego Bay Chapter of the Jamaica Hotel & Tourist Association from 2007 – 2010 and was named chairman of the organization for 2010 - 2011. Prior to Round Hill, Omar worked at numerous Jamaican resorts including Sandals Ocho Rios Resort and was the resident manager at Beaches Sandy Bay Resort in Negril. Omar received his masters in organizational leadership from Southern New Hampshire University and has also completed the general managers program at the School of Hotel Administration at Cornell University.
Executive Chef
Chef Martin Ian Maginley came to Round Hill from his position as executive chef at SuperClubs, Grand Lido Negril Resort & Spa, where he enriched the culinary experience throughout the property's seven dining outlets. Prior to his executive chef position, he served as executive sous chef at The Grand Lido and sous chef at Four Seasons Regent Hotel in Toronto, Canada. Maginley graduated from George Brown College in Toronto, where he also completed his apprenticeship. He has appeared on national television, including live demonstrations on such programs as The Today Show, Fox 5 Morning Show, NBC Chicago, Montreal Global TV and many more and has been featured in national publications such as Food & Wine and Caribbean Travel & Life. Chef Martin also helped to create the highly successful "Epicurean Escape" in association with Food & Wine.
Director of Sales & Marketing
Linda Lawrence joined the executive team at Round Hill Hotel and Villas in 2012 to oversee the sales and marketing activities of the prestigious and classic Jamaican resort. As Director of Sales and Marketing, Linda is responsible for strengthening travel industry relationships, consortia relationships and strategic partnerships as well as looking after the resort's brand positioning, marketing, sales and public relations
Prior to her position at Round Hill Hotel and Villas, Linda spent from 2000 to 2011 in a senior-level sales capacity at Half Moon in Montego Bay, Jamaica. During her tenure, she executed a number of roles including Acting Weddings Manager, Regional Sales Manager and Travel Industry Sales Manager.
Linda has a Master's Degree in Tourism and Hospitality Management from Revans University. She completed her Bachelor of Science in 2003 at Florida International University, from where she graduated Summa Cum Laude in Hospitality Management. In 2015 she earned an Advanced Certification in Hospitality Marketing from Cornell University's School of Hotel Administration. She resides full time in Jamaica with her partner and daughter.
Director of Food & Beverage
At a young age, native Jamaican Hillary Stewart had a fascination with the tourism and hospitality industry, which lead her to begin her career with management positions at the Grand Lido Braco and Wyndham Hotels, both of which she oversaw for several years. Once she knew this was her career path, Ms. Stewart traded the island life for the blustery New York winters in the pursuit of a Master's degree from Cornell University's School of Hotel Administration.
After graduating from Cornell, Ms. Stewart was hired by the DARDEN Corporation, where she held a position as a managing partner for the Longhorn Steakhouse franchise. Having a profound love for her native country and the tourism industry alike, it was no surprise that Ms. Stewart eventually found herself back on the island of Jamaica as the Assistant General Manager for Island Entertainment - a role that placed her in charge of operating international franchises and multi-restaurant venues at both the airport and cruise pier. Once her managerial duties were satisfied with Island Entertainment, Ms. Stewart found her current position as the Director of Food & Beverage with the Round Hill family.
Chief Financial Officer
Tracy Christie-Smith completed her undergraduate studies in Business Administration at the University of Technology. After completing her studies, she joined the auditing firm, PricewaterhouseCoopers. She has been a Chartered Accountant (ACCA) for more than ten years and a Fellow of the Institute of Certified Chartered Accountants (FCCA) since 2007. She continued her experience with Affiliated Computer Services (now Xerox, a U.S. Fortune 500 Company) as a Division Controller for seven years. Her experience in hospitality began at Half Moon, a Rock Resort as the Financial Controller/Director of Finance. She joined Round Hill Hotel and Villas in 2011 as the company's Chief Financial Officer.
She holds an MBA from the University of Leicester (UK). She is the president of Hospitality Financial and Technology Professionals (HFTP) Jamaica Chapter and is the Finance Committee Chairman on the Montego Bay Community College Board. She is married and the mother of two daughters.
Director of Human Resources and Training
Nathalie Saunders was employed to Round Hill in December 2009 in the capacity of Director of Human Resources and Training. In this capacity she oversees employee benefits, welfare and training.
Prior to joining Round Hill, Nathalie was employed as Human Resources Manager with the world-renowned Ritz-Carlton Golf & Spa Resort (formerly in Montego Bay, Jamaica). During her tenure, she led the recruitment and selection process for over seven hundred employees. Prior to that, and fresh out of university, she was employed as an Office Manager at Club Ambiance Hotel in Runaway Bay and part-time lecturer at the Brown's Town Community College in her hometown, Brown's Town, St. Ann.
Nathalie holds a Bachelor of Science Degree from Nova Southeastern University, Florida and Business Diplomas from The University of Technology, Jamaica and the Brown's Town Community College. She describes herself as a self-motivated individual with a strong love for people, family and her country – Jamaica.
