Jenny Saville (England, 1970) is probably best known for her large scale oil paintings of fleshy, obese female figures. Saville's work invokes a deep fascination in the palpability of flesh, extremities of anatomy, and the grotesque combined with a masterly and yet intuitive instinct for the handling of paint.
Jenny Saville, the Royal Academician known for her large-scale oil paintings of female figures, will create her own new work to go inside it, as she aims to reflect a "deep understanding" of Rubens' place in art history. According to Saville"Whether you think you like Rubens or not, his influence runs through the pathways of paintings. Like Warhol, he changed the game of art."
Jenny Saville's understanding of Rubens' work is intellectual, emotional and visceral.Rubens's work too, can be thought-provoking and moving, shocking even, but by and large his teeming canvases are a monument to his sheer virtuosity; he was, arguably, the first rococo genius.
Saville's work can be compared to that of Lucien Freud. Her works are strongly pigmented and give a highly sensual impression of the surface of the skin as well as the mass of the body.
According to Saville "It's become really difficult to do figurative painting that isn't naff or cheesy and which feels relevant. I have found a way of doing it by looking at abstract painters like Willem de Kooning and Cy Tombly. I like looking at very old figurative painting, at the old masters."

Syria T. Berry, at 68, has done his share of solo shows in restaurants, clubs, and theaters.
But nothing compares to entertaining convicts. And not just during the performance.
"First of all, I'm grateful I can walk out," Berry said.
It wasn't always like that. Berry served his time, having lived a short time in a van during what's amounted to a life ago for the Vallejo resident and Richmond pastor.
"I was in prison and I had an opportunity to change my life and reform," Berry said. "And now, it's different. I can give people a testimony of being there rather than preaching. I was able to make a change."
Berry especially enjoyed surprising the inmates at a recent Christmas show, who expected "old ladies coming to sing Christmas carols."
"When they get blessed like that, it really blesses me," said Berry, who chooses to do several prisons and senior centers during December to bring cheer to many who need some uplifting tunes.
Berry did one show one year at San Quentin, going from "House of the Rising Sun" to the Blind Boys of Alabama's version of "Amazing Grace," ecstatic that he was "able to catch people by surprise."
"I am really grateful for the fact that I gave them joy," he said.
Usually, however, he doesn't have the captivated audience. Not that anyone walks while he's performing. Sometimes, acknowledged Berry, he's merely hired as background music.
"The most fun is when everyone gets involved," he said. "If it's a concert and I'm getting yin and yang with the audience responding with me and they're clapping and it turns into a party."
Then there's the "least fun" gigs "when they just want a band to be ambient and barely want to listen to you. You can't really put your heart and soul into a song or someone will yell you're too loud. So you have to be moderate. It diminishes your ability to be emotional, but it's part of being a professional musician."
Sometimes he knows when an audience member is really into it. Sometimes it's a surprise.
"I'll think nobody's paying attention and then they'll come up and give me a tip," said Berry, who actually whistles through a few tunes as a salute to his father.
When there isn't a solo gig, Berry is likely performing with the Fabulous PhDs, an R&B Latin rock dance band into its 31st year.
Between the band and a solo act, there is a "much different kind of fun," Berry said.
With his solo show, "I can do anything I want. My identification is versatility and variety. While I can probably say I'd never do an Elvis tune with the PhdDs, I would do it with my solo act," Berry said. "Or a Prince tune or Smokey Robinson tune or Van Morrison tune."
Then there's his ministry as he continues to "still do the pastor thing" at the Living Hope Neighborhood Church.
Ministry and music. Just as Berry hoped.
"You couldn't have scripted it any better," he said.

Americans are expected to spend upwards of $650 billion this holiday season, prompting retailers and logistics companies to invest in hiring more seasonal workers, especially in e-commerce, distribution and fulfillment center operations.
Los Angeles-based executive search and recruiting firm Korn Ferry surveyed 20 major U.S. retailers in September, representing 1 million workers, and found that 80 percent plan to hire the same amount of or more seasonal staff as they did last year.
"Despite rocky times this year with brick-and-mortar store closings at near-record levels, a relatively strong economy is expected to bode well for retailers this holiday season," said Craig Rowley, a senior partner at Korn Ferry specializing in the retail industry. "That means they will be hiring more people, but the challenge is that with the unemployment rate at 4.2 percent, recruiting seasonal workers will be more difficult."
[SHRM members-only toolkit: Practicing Workforce Planning]
According to data from Chicago-based outplacement consultancy Challenger, Gray & Christmas, retailers have announced over 6,000 store closures and 67,000 job cuts in the first eight months of the year. Despite that, the sector has also led all others in hiring announcements, with over 248,000 new jobs, mostly credited to e-commerce operations.
"Retailers have been consistently adding jobs over the last nine months, so they already have folks in place ready to step up and play a role during the busy holiday season," said National Retail Federation (NRF) CEO Matthew Shay.
Daniel Culbertson, an economist with Austin, Texas-based job search engine Indeed, noted that holiday job posting numbers have been strong on the site. He pointed out that retailers started posting jobs for seasonal staff earlier in the year, continuing a recent trend.
"Employers typically begin posting their holiday positions later in September, but this year it seems that employers aimed to get a jump on the season by posting a high volume of jobs immediately after Labor Day weekend," he said. "The earlier hiring is perhaps due to employers looking to be first to the market in light of a tight labor [situation]. If the current trend in the level of 2017 holiday postings continues, the volume of holiday postings as a share of all postings on Indeed will exceed that of the past two years."
More Logistics Help Needed
The NRF has pegged 2017 holiday job growth at between 500,000 and 550,000 in-store seasonal positions, down from last year's 575,000 new in-store jobs. Shay added that the figure does not account for the many thousands more workers expected to be hired to process surging online business, such as positions in distribution, warehousing, e-commerce, logistics and transportation.
While in-store jobs still make up the bulk of seasonal hiring, affiliated employment in logistics and warehousing has increased. Retailers have tended to double or even quadruple their warehouse staff in recent years, expecting more consumers to visit their websites instead of stores. Online retail sales jumped nearly 13 percent during the 2016 holiday season from the year before, compared with a 7 percent decline at department stores, according to the NRF.
"As holiday shopping habits turn virtual, retailers are responding by hiring more warehouse and transport workers," said John Challenger, CEO of Challenger, Gray & Christmas.
Data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) showed that transportation and warehousing employment increased by 246,700 workers in the final quarter of 2016, 8 percent higher than the previous year. In 2007, the seasonal job gains for this sector measured just 24,300.
Target expects to hire approximately 100,000 store team members across the country—up from 70,000 last year—and fill 4,500 extra positions at its distribution and fulfillment centers.
Macy's plans to add 18,000 seasonal workers at its fulfillment centers—a 20 percent increase compared with last year. The company also plans to hire approximately 60,000 seasonal associates for positions at its Macy's and Bloomingdale's stores nationwide.
Wal-Mart announced it would bring on about 5,000 seasonal workers for its e-commerce operations, but continue its unconventional approach of providing existing employees extra hours instead of hiring more in-store seasonal staff. "We think it just makes sense to partner with the associates who know the business, are trained in serving customers and the operations of the stores, and who know the customer better than anyone," said Erica Jones, Wal-Mart's senior manager of corporate communications.
The policy—now in its second year—allows employees to work up to 40 hours a week during the holiday season (34 hours a week is considered full-time) and helps address complaints about underemployment that have plagued the company.
E-commerce giant Amazon announced plans to hire more than 120,000 people this season across its network of fulfillment centers and customer service sites, almost doubling its 125,000 existing full-time staff. The company said it anticipates opening more than two dozen new U.S. fulfillment centers this year. Thousands of holiday positions were transitioned to regular, full-time roles after the 2016 holidays, and Amazon expects to continue that practice this year.
Package-delivery services that bring online purchases to shoppers' doorsteps have been ramping up hiring since the spring, according to BLS data. The number of people employed in the sector rose by 24,000 over the first nine months of the year. UPS expects to hire about 95,000 seasonal employees this year. About 35 percent of seasonal hires were brought on as regular employees at the end of the 2016 holidays, according to Paul Tanguay, the company's global director of recruitment strategies. The company began recruiting a few weeks earlier than usual and is providing bus service for seasonal workers in certain markets where labor competition is particularly tight, he added.
Recruiting Woes
Hiring seasonal staff may be more difficult this year due to the squeezed labor market, however. Not only is unemployment at its lowest in 16 years, but the rise of gig work, like driving for Uber or Lyft, is shrinking the candidate pool. Forty percent of respondents to the Korn Ferry survey believe there will be fewer applicants available this year, and 40 percent anticipate paying higher wages to attract candidates.
Melissa Hassett, vice president of client delivery for ManpowerGroup Solutions, a staffing and recruiting firm based in Milwaukee, said that retail workers are seeking more flexibility with their schedules, training and pay, to be competitive with other entry-level jobs.
"A big challenge for hourly workers is having a schedule that fits with their needs and meets their expectations," Rowley said. "The ability to schedule people out a couple weeks in advance is a very attractive selling point for any retailer."
Apps like Shiftgig have emerged which allow workers to pick up shifts for employers needing to fill sudden schedule gaps.
In-Store Experience Still Counts
Experts stressed that while retail store hiring has fallen over the last couple of years, recruiting for customer interaction is still important. Twenty percent of respondents to the Korn Ferry survey said they are placing a greater emphasis this year on hiring employees who align with their brand culture, and 15 percent said they are placing a greater emphasis on having the in-store retail experience.
"While 75 percent of respondents say they will use their mobile platform to help drive sales this holiday season, it's clear that they still are focusing on the traditional in-store experience," Rowley said. "But that experience is changing by becoming more intimate and tailored to the specific demands of the shopper."
People are coming to the store for something other than just purchasing the product, which can be done online, Rowley explained. "When I go to the store, it's for a specific need—to try something on, to touch and feel it, or I have questions about the product and need help in making a choice. Retailers are trying to figure out how to give those people the experience they're after."

Today Hebrew grammar is well understood and
there are many books on it. Rashi, however, lived
before the age of grammar books. A major Rashi method
is therefore the teaching of basic grammar.
Many students belittle this aspect of Rashi. They erroneously
think that because of modern methods we know more. However Rashi
will frequently focus on rare grammatical points not covered
in conventional textbooks.
Today we present a Rashi which is best understood using
rules of word sequence. Verse Nu13-23 discussing
the Israeli fruit brought back by the spies states
And they came unto the valley of Eshcol,
and cut down from thence a branch with one cluster of grapes,
and they bore it upon a double pole; they took also of the pomegranates, and of the figs.--
I would argue that the most forceful way of proving Rashi's
interpretation is to use the modern idea of word sequencing.
In both English and Hebrew a sentence subject would be sequenced
early in the sentence proximate to the verb: For example in the follow
two sentences two functions as a grammatical subject: Two carried it on a pole
or They carried it by pairs of people on a pole. But in the verse being studied,
Nu13-23 the word
two is distant from the verb. Consequently
Rashi interprets it as an indirect object: They carried it by
poles in [pole] pairs.
Advanced Rashi:Before proceeding to further explain Rashi I give another example
of a Rashi based on word sequence. A recurring phrase in
the gifts of the princes (Nu07) is a young one ox.
I think most people can see the improper word sequence; it should
read one young ox. Here we use the rules of adjective
sequences. It is a rule that numerical adjectives have a specific
place in the sentence - a young one ox is simply wrong
grammatically, wrong from the viewpoint of word sequencing.
Rashi therefore reinterprets one as meaning unique,
that is, one of a kind. The resulting phrase now reads
a young unique ox or as Rashi explains unique [best] in
its herd.
Rashi does not explain either
of these comments explicitly using the concept of word sequence.
Rather Rashi focuses on word redundancy: If it uses the singular
ox don't I know that it is one. Since the word one
is redundant we reinterpret this to mean unique. Similarly Rashi
on the verse in Nu13-23b states If if uses the plural, they
carried don't I know that there were two. Since the word two is
redundant we must apply it to the poles (rather than the people).
But as we have explained many times in this list, Rashi frequently
expresses his comments using puns and exaggerations. Such
expression facilitates memorability. However the form in which Rashi
expresses his coNovents do not necessarily indicate the actual reason
for the Rashi comments. In fact there are many occurrences of ones and twos throughout
the Bible. If Rashi comments only on those verses with improper word
sequencing I think it proper to take word sequencing as the real reason
for Rashi's comment.

I was there for the first part of the story and it was only later that I learned the rest, much later and much too late to do anything about it.
It started innocently enough. We were staying at a hotel on the beach in San Juan, Puerto Rico. We had just returned from an evening of dinner and dancing and we were sipping wine on the balcony of our sixth floor room. It was a full moon and the moon's reflection on the ocean was beautiful. My wife Darby said:
"You know what I would really like to do tonight?"
"No, what?"
"If I had the nerve I'd like to go down there and make love on the beach in the moon light."
"You? Naked on the beach? The woman who won't even wear a two piece bathing suit because of modesty wants to make love on the beach?"
"Okay, okay, you've made your point. But I did say, "If I had the nerve" which we both know I don't."
"How about the next best thing?"
"And what would that be?"
"We can make love right here on the balcony in the moonlight."
"We couldn't! The people down there walking around in the courtyard would see us."
"No they won't. From down there all they will see is you leaning over the railing looking at the moon over the ocean."
I moved behind her and raised her skirt and worked her panties down to her ankles and she said, "What are you doing Chuck?"
"Humor me sweetie, just step out of your panties."
"We can't do this."
"Of course we can my love."
She stepped out of her panties and I picked them up as I stood up and pulled down my zipper. "Just look out at the beautiful view, " I said as I took out my cock and moved up behind her. "Spread your legs a little," I said and when she did I lined myself up with her pussy. She was wet and I said, "See sweetie, you really want this. You're dripping wet down there."
I stepped forward and worked my cock into her and she moaned and then giggled out, "Oh baby, this is bad, this is so bad. What if we get caught?"
"Who is going to catch us? They are all six floors down and all they can see is you standing at the rail looking down or out to sea. Of course if you scream when you cum all bets are off."
I started slowly making love to Darby and after a minute I felt her pushing her butt back at me and a couple of seconds after they she began her familiar chant:
"Oh yes baby, oh yes, so good, like that baby, oh yeah, like that."
A minute or so later in the middle of a moan she suddenly gasped, "Oh my God. He's looking at me baby, he knows."
"Who is looking at you?"
"There is a man on the beach and he is looking at me. He knows baby, I know he knows."
"Wave at him sweetie. He might suspect, but he can't know for sure. Wave at him sweetie while I fuck you; smile and wave and make him wish it was him up here so he could know for sure."
"God baby, the way I feel right now if he was up here he would be next" and then she bit her lip to keep quiet as she had her orgasm.
When she had regained her composure I let her skirt fall and we turned to go back into the room. Just as we went through the door some one on another balcony started clapping and from yet another balcony came, "Bravo, bravo."
Darby turned beet red, ran into the room and threw herself down on the bed. "What's the matter Darb? You were obviously a hit with whomever was watching."
"But I'm so embarrassed."
"Why? You don't know them and they don't know you."
"Yes, but what if one of them sees me tomorrow?"
"What if? You won't know. It all adds to the mystery of it. Every man who smiles at you for the rest of the time we are here is going to make you think, "Was it him?"
"Yeah, well that's not all I'm thinking right now. For some reason I am all of a sudden very, very horny. Think you can help me out here?"
That night a switch was flipped. The remaining three nights we were in San Juan she wanted to make love out on the balcony and the last night she did it naked except for a black bra that must have looked like a bikini top from the ground. On our trip to the airport to turn our rental car in she surprised me again. She hoisted her skirt up around her waist and then slid over next to me and took my cock out of my pants and started stroking me as we drove. Anyone next to us could have looked into the car and seen what she was doing, but Darby didn't seem to care.
One more surprise awaited me when we got to the airport. Darby had me stop about five hundred feet from the rental return lot and she went down on me in the car - in broad daylight! She played with my balls and sucked on me for several minutes until I came and then she said:
"Better put it away baby and let's get a move on or we will miss our flight."
"What in the world has come over you lately?"
"I don't know honey. All of a sudden I get really turned on by the thought of having sex where there is a possibility that I might be seen."
"You do understand that there are laws against that sort of behavior don't you? That we could end up in jail?"
"That just adds to the rush I feel when I do it. I've never felt so sexually alive as I did that first night on the balcony after I knew that others had watched us. Besides, I doubt that even if we were caught we would go to jail. They might take a prostitute and her customer, but not us. I'm sure that once they knew we were married and just having some fun to spice up our love life that would tell us to behave ourselves and they would let us go."
"Yeah? Well you might be sure, but I'm not and I don't want to take the chance."
"Not to worry honey, vacation is over and we are going back home to go back to living our ho-hum lives."
But Darby didn't really want to go back to our so-called 'ho-hum' life. We hadn't been home a week when she tried to have sex in public again. It was a Friday night and we had gone out for dinner and drinks. As we were walking to our car we passed an alley and Darby stopped, grabbed my arm and pulled me into the alley.
"Hurry baby, I want to you fuck me while I lean up against the wall."
"Are you crazy Darby? Have you lost your mind?"
"Please baby, please. Do me here against the wall baby, I need it."
"Not on your life Darby. I have no intention of going to jail or in front of a judge. It would kill my career if we got caught and the word got out. We got away with it in San Juan, but I'm not going to press my luck here at home."
Darby was a little cold toward me for the rest of the evening, even to the point of pushing me away when I attempted to make love to her that night. That wasn't the end of it though. Darby kept after me to have sex in places where there was a danger of getting caught and I kept refusing. Eventually she stopped trying and I thought that was the end of it. I was wrong, but it was almost a year before I found that out.
Darby works for a company that sells ad space in several local magazines and papers. One day she was at a small company trying to sell space to the two men who owned the company. During the negotiations she had to leave the room to go to the bathroom. When she turned left to go down the hall and was out of sight one of the men had said to the other:
"I'd fuck her on the city hall steps and give you an hour to draw a crowd to watch."
Darby heard it and when she came back into the room she said, "So you want to fuck me in public huh?"
Both men had gotten red in the face, but their expressions turned to surprise when Darby said:
"How about right here and now? If you leave your office door open so that anyone who walks by can look in I'll do you both right here on the desk."
The two men had looked at each other, not believing what they had just heard and then one of them had stood up and pulled down his zipper and had taken out his cock. Darby had smiled, pulled off her panties and then had laid down on the desk and spread her legs. Both men then proceeded to take turns on her for an hour. Out of the corner of her eye Darby had seen scores of people stop, look in, watch for a bit and then hurry away to spread the word. Each new set of eyes that came to watch just made Darby that much hotter.
When the two men had finished Darby had pulled her panties back on, tucked the check for their ad into her purse. She turned and headed for the door and just as she reached it she had turned back to the two men:
"How about same time tomorrow only out in the parking lot on the back seat of my car?"
For the next year Darby let the two men fuck her whenever they wanted as long as it was where there was a danger of getting caught.
I was in my office working out a contract with a client when I got a phone call.
"Mr. Brady? Mr. Charles Brady?"
"This is Sargent McFee. I'm the desk Sargent here at the 23rd Precinct and we have a Darby Brady in custody and she says she is your wife. Can you confirm this?"
"I don't know. My wife's name is Darby, but I don't know that she is who you have."
He read me the information from her driver's license and then asked me if that was my address and I said that it was.
"Then we have your wife Mr. Brady."
"Can you tell me what this is about?"
"Well, the original charges were Solicitation and Indecent Public Conduct, but the solicitation charge will be dropped because the two men say no money was involved."
"Two men?"
"Yes sir, I'm afraid so."
"So why are you calling me?"
"She would like you to come down and put up her bail."
"I'm sorry, but you caught me at a bad time. I'm busy with a client right now and I can't get away."
"A client is more important than your wife?"
"Yes sir, he is, especially in light of what you say she was doing. Out of curiosity, why didn't she call?"
"She had no money and she seemed like a nice lady so I thought I'd do her a favor and make the call."
"Well Sargent, as far as I'm concerned she can sit there and rot, but thank you for the call" and I hung up.
"That sounded serious," my client said.
"My idiot wife was in an accident and got mouthy with the cop that came to take the accident report. It isn't the first time her mouth got away from her. Maybe if she sits in jail for a while it will teach her a lesson. Now, where were we, paragraph four, right?"
Darby wasn't home when I got there. I debated changing all the locks on the house and putting her stuff out on the driveway, but I decided to wait and hear her story before I decided what to do. It was another day before she managed to get out of jail and get home. She was steaming when she got there and she called me every dirty name in the book for not coming down and bailing her out. She shut up when I yelled back at her:
"I'm supposed to come and bail your unfaithful ass out of jail when you get caught fucking two guys in public? Get serious! You are lucky I even let you back in the house. The only reason your key fit the door is because I wanted to hear your story before I make a decision on what to do."
"Do about what?"
"Don't act stupid Darby, you know damned well about what. About what grounds I'm going to use when I file for divorce."
"Divorce? What are you talking about? We don't need a divorce."
"Divorce is usually what happens when one partner cheats on the other and gets caught."
"But I wasn't cheating on you baby. Cheating is when you steal from your partner. I never stole from you. I gave you all the love you could handle its just that I needed some things you refused to give me so I got them someplace else. I still love you baby. I've never stopped loving you."
"Basically then what you are saying is that this is all my fault."
"Well kind of. If you had done what I wanted I wouldn't have had to go someplace else to get it."
Then Darby told me the story of what had happened and how it had led to the cops catching her leaning against a wall in an alley while two men took turns fucking her from behind. I listened in totally disbelief while Darby told me of where they had done her and how many times and for how long. When she was done I just shook my head in disgust and then I went upstairs and started packing.
The divorce will be final in a week and there isn't a day goes by that Darby doesn't call me and tell me she loves me and that she wants me to come back home. Some days I'm tempted to go back and then I think about what she did and I knew that I'd never be able to trust her again and I know that regardless of how much love there might be you can't have a relationship without trust.

Due to previous danger experienced, ZAFT agreed to have a defense system against the Atlantic Forces. Who knows what will the enemy's next move?
Athrun had his own bodyguards. That day, they visited their deceased loved ones. Ezach wanted to make arrangements for the return of Athrun in ZAFT.
Minerva left the Earth. Meanwhile, Yula proposed… was propose the right term? Or should it be 'order,' since he didn't even let Cagalli decide first?
UGH. He's getting on my nerves!

Quality Life
Gino Celentano, the proud owner of Quality Nutrition, can tell you first hand how important it is to make healthy life choices on a daily basis. In June 2014, Gino started experiencing irregular bowel movements and abdominal pain. As a result, he did what anyone else would do – he went to the doctor. There, he got a colonoscopy and discovered inflammation in his large intestines. But that wasn't all. They diagnosed Gino with Ulcerative Colitis at 25 years old. From there on, he followed strict instructions from his doctor.
Gino and his doctor tried to get his condition under control. After 5 long months of recurring flare ups, Gino hit rock bottom with a health episode that lasted for an entire month, losing 40 pounds in just 30 days. At this point Gino made a decision to part ways with his doctor and began doing his own research. In that time, Gino discovered a holistic approach that would help him get his condition under control.
After transitioning to all natural products and paying close attention to which types of food he ate, Gino was able to formulate his own natural remedies to help with Ulcerative Colitis. Consequentially, in that moment, Quality Nutrition was established.
Quality Nutrition is a line of natural products for pure health and wellness. Gino knew that in order to obtain any goals you have, you first need to be in good health. Quality Nutrition offers products that contain all the vitamins, minerals, superfoods, and probiotics you need optimize your body to live a long, successful, happy and healthy life. These products have been designed to help anyone, appealing to more then just athletes and fitness enthusiasts.

William J. Lindsay Life Sciences Building Dedicated at Suffolk County Community College's Ammerman Campus
SELDEN, N.Y., October 21, 2014 - A new life sciences building at Suffolk County Community College's Ammerman Campus in Selden will feature state-of-the-art educational technology and provide a platform for increased student research through hands-on education and active learning, said college officials who took part in a gala ribbon cutting with students, state and local officials, faculty, staff and administration to dedicate the building today.
The $29.8 million, soon-to- be Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design (LEED) certified, William J. Lindsay Life Sciences Building occupies nearly 63,000 square feet and is the Ammerman campus' first newly constructed academic building in nearly 50 years. Officials said approximately 5,000 students will attend classes in the building throughout the spring semester beginning in January 2015. The building will also allow for the expansion of science classes to include an additional 100 students in the spring and 300 students next fall.
The building is named for and dedicated to the memory of former Suffolk County Legislator and presiding Officer
William J. Lindsay who served for 12 years in the legislature — eight as presiding officer — where his colleagues referred to him as the "Lion of the Legislature." Lindsay, 67, passed away in September, 2013 after a valiant battle with lung cancer.
"We were very humbled and honored when we first heard the Life Sciences building was going to be named after our late father. My Dad was a great supporter of the college as well as higher education and we couldn't think of a more appropriate legacy to bear his name. Our only regret is that he is not here today to accept this honor in person. We hope that every student that passes through these doors will use the knowledge they gain here to make this world a better place," said William J. Lindsay's son and Suffolk County Legislator Bill Lindsay on behalf of his family.
"This is an exciting day for Suffolk County Community College and for SUNY as we add a significant building to our growing ranks of cutting edge facilities" said SUNY Board of Trustees Chairman H. Carl McCall. "The William J. Lindsay Life Sciences Building will not only be a magnet for students where they are able to learn in a nurturing environment, it will also serve as a launching point for a new generation of discoverers, future scientists and engineers. I want to commend the leadership of President Shaun McKay and offer sincere congratulations to the students, faculty, staff and administration at Suffolk County Community College, and its namesake, a true beacon in the community, William J. Lindsay."
"The William J. Lindsay Life Sciences Building demonstrates our institutional commitment to invest in students and provide what is needed for a state-of-the-art education," said Suffolk County Community College President Dr. Shaun L. McKay. "I thank our local and state representatives who supported this project and have provided our students with new tools and new opportunity," McKay said. "And I thank our former Presiding Officer and Legislator William Lindsay, with us in spirit today, for his unwavering support of higher education and our college."
"William Lindsay was an outstanding and dedicated public servant who devoted his career in elected office to fighting for those who could not fight for themselves," said Congressman Tim Bishop. "It is quite fitting that a building at Suffolk County Community College, an institution he held in such high regard, will forever bear his name."
"I cannot imagine a better way to honor Bill Lindsay than a building to give Suffolk County students the skills they need to get good jobs and grow our economy," Suffolk County Executive Steve Bellone said. "This new building is a part of our Connect Long Island vision of connecting and enhancing Suffolk County's world-class science and research hubs to create jobs and retain our brightest minds."
"I am honored to be here today to cut the ribbon on the William J. Lindsay Life Sciences Building," said Suffolk County Legislature Presiding Officer DuWayne Gregory. "Bill was a good friend and true mentor to me during the many years we worked together in the Legislature. I am sure he is very proud today to have this building named after him because he was always a huge supporter of Suffolk County Community College."
"Bill was a tireless advocate for the wellbeing of all Suffolk County's residents, a staunch supporter of the Community College, a true believer in the independence of the Suffolk county Legislature. This Science center will serve as a fitting tribute to his powerful legacy," said Suffolk County Legislator and Minority Leader John M. Kennedy Jr.
"I have long held the belief that science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) are the foundation for future economic growth and job creation. The building is suitably named after a great supporter of education, William Lindsay, and will be a tremendous learning hub for students," said New York State Senator Kenneth P. LaValle, chair of the State Senate's Higher Education Committee.
"I think it is only fitting to name the new Life Sciences Building after former Presiding Officer Bill Lindsay. Bill was an individual that worked tirelessly for his community and for our County," said New York State Assemblyman Alfred C. Graf.
"Suffolk County Community College has continually served as a valuable resource for many of our young residents and this new facility will allow many more to reach their goals. This building will stand as a tribute to Presiding Officer Lindsay's dedication to our county and his support of the young Long Islanders who are working to achieve their dreams. I can think of no better way to honor the service and commitment of Bill Lindsay," stated New York State Senator John Flanagan.
"The William J. Lindsay Life Sciences Building will strengthen the Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) program at Suffolk Community College, further preparing students for a successful career in many different career paths. Today is a great day for the Suffolk Community College family," said New York State Senator Lee Zeldin.
"Today marks a special day for Suffolk County as we cut the ribbon on the first new building on Suffolk County Community College's Ammerman Campus in nearly 50 years. The William J. Lindsay Life Sciences Building, named in honor of a good friend and great advocate for the college, will offer state-of-the-art science laboratories and computer classrooms to help prepare students for the challenging careers of the future with a solid foundation in the sciences, technology, engineering, and math," said New York State Assemblyman Steve Englebright.
New York State Assemblyman Fred W. Thiele, Jr. stated, "Today we celebrate new beginnings for expanded science and technology programs at Suffolk County Community College, and also honor former Presiding Officer of the Suffolk County Legislature, William Lindsay, as his legacy will live on through the new William J. Lindsay Life Sciences Building on the Ammerman Campus. I am proud that New York State joined Suffolk County in providing for new state-of-the-art and expanded opportunities for our students."
"Bill Lindsay was a good friend and a true leader among those that he served with on the County Legislature," said Town of Brookhaven Supervisor Ed Romaine. "The dedication of the Life Sciences building in his memory is a fitting tribute to a person who was steadfast in his support of the college and committed to improving our higher education system. As a former teacher and County Legislator myself, I am proud to be part of this special day in honor of a man that I respected and admired."
"These are very exciting times in Biology and Life Sciences education worldwide. The spatial design and state-of-the art technology incorporated into our new building gives us a doorway through which our outstanding faculty will lead our students into a new age. This innovative edifice will allow us to increase the number of students taught and, along with our newly revised and cutting-edge curriculum, gives us the ability to greatly enhance the quality of education Suffolk County Community College provides. It is a superior facility for student research and both collaborative and hands-on learning. It will bring our department into the 21st century and prepare our students for the 22nd," said Rosa M. Gambier, Ph.D., Biology Department Chair.
"Our new life sciences building projects our commitment to students and potential students about the quality of learning at Suffolk County Community College," explained Dafny J. Irizarry, Chair of the Suffolk County Community College Board of Trustees. "The William J. Lindsay Life Sciences Building, fittingly named after a great supporter of the college, will strengthen Suffolk County Community College and its place among top ranked institutions of higher education in New York State," she said.
BBS Architects, Landscape Architects and Engineers served as architect; interior designer; and civil, mechanical, and electrical engineer for the new building. According to BBS Principal Architect Roger P. Smith, AIA, LEED AP, "The structure is designed to serve as a learning tool itself. It incorporates pioneering sustainability and educational features, such as interactive boards displaying – in real time – the building's sustainability data and power performance. It is a very cool feature; you can literally walk around and watch the building work."
A time capsule will be placed in the building's cornerstone containing items from the Lindsay family as well as from the college, including a flash drive with photos and videos about the college, brochures, photos and a smartphone.
STEM at Suffolk
Suffolk County Community College's STEM program has been incorporating research opportunities into its curriculum and has been one of the strongest suppliers of interns to Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL) for more than a decade. The College also produces the highest number of participants in BNL research programs with the exception of neighboring Stony Brook University.
More than 54 Suffolk STEM scholars have been awarded paid research internships at Department of Energy (DOE) laboratories ranging from Brookhaven National Laboratory to Oak Ridge National Laboratory in Tennessee to Los Alamos National Laboratory in New Mexico.
Suffolk County Community College 2014 graduate Cassandra Nyati was a National Science Foundation – Scholarships for Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (NSF S-STEM) Scholarship recipient as well as a Collegiate Science Technology Entry Program scholar who was invited last spring to the National Conference on Undergraduate Research (NCUR) in Lexington, Kentucky where she presented her research internship results to students, faculty and staff from around the world.
Cassandra's research, "Internalization and Colocalization in Raft-Mediated Endocytosis," was selected for presentation from more than 4,000 submissions to the NCUR 2014 Abstract Review Committee and was the culmination of Cassandra's summer 2013 research at Stony Brook University where Cassandra is now a student and continuing her science studies and research.

Sunday was a berry, berry good day! We had made arrangements to meet a family whose daughter is in Maya's class to pick strawberries. They told us to take bus 47 and wrote out our stop in Chinese characters. We were to meet at the bus stop at 9 a.m. Sunday. I'm not sure what happened, but they didn't show up. Maybe the bus driver left us at the wrong stop. Or maybe they decided that, because of yesterday's rain, it was too muddy to pick strawberries. Anyway, we waited for them until 9:30, and when they didn't show, we followed a group of people down a path I hoped led to a strawberry patch! The path deposited us in a courtyard full of cement ponds and people washing vegetables. I could see fields of strawberries next to the courtyard, but had no clue how the pick-your-own strawberry thing worked. So I walked up to a group of people and asked if anyone could speak English. Luckily, one young lady did, and led us around to the strawberry farm. The farmer handed us a bucket, and away we went!
We picked about 1.5 kilos (3.3 pounds) of strawberries – here's the proof:
We were home by 11:30, and longing for strawberries with our lunch. But washing raw fruit without peels is a bit challenging here, between nasty pesticides banned in the U.S. and non-potable water. So first I rinse the strawberries with non-potable water to get most of the dirt off. Then I soak them in non-potable water spiked with a little chlorine bleach – kills the germs in the water, and helps to strip the pesticides. Then I soak the fruit in boiled-and-cooled water to get rid of the chlorine! But then we ate and ate and ate and ate yummy strawberries! In fact, after strawberries for lunch and for an afternoon snack, we have exactly two strawberries left!
After lunch, a rest, and a snack, we took a CD of our photos from International Women's Day to the local photo shop to be printed. We want to give a set of photos to Si Bo to thank him for the silkworms. They said come back in two hours, so we went to the international bookstore we've seen several times but hadn't visited yet. The girls were excited to see some children's books in English, but they were just as thrilled to look at Chinese books, too – especially the ones with the Little Mermaid and Snow White! I found some large laminated posters with colorful pictures and English and Chinese (both pinyin and Chinese characters) translations. We bought 5 of them – fruits and veggies, animals, colors, opposites, and food (the picture of donuts has the label "sweet wheat enclosing!").We've already taped them up in the girls' room and it brightens up the place considerably.
When we returned for the photos, they were not quite ready, so we headed home. Around 5, we went back for the pictures, and to a restaurant nearby. After we ordered, I pulled out the photos to divide into two stacks, and we were SWARMED by the waitresses who wanted to look! I've never seen anything like it – those photos got passed through the entire restaurant, discussed, analyzed, compared to the real likenesses of Zoe and Maya . . . and just when I thought we'd get our pictures back, another member of the waitstaff would arrive to look at the pictures. It was hilarious! I wish I'd had my camera. They were so delighted that we cooperated that we were treated like royalty from then on. After Maya finished eating, one waitress picked her up and carried her around the restaurant – including upstairs – to show her off. Apparently I'm no more entitled to sole possession of my children than I am to my photos! Maya was delighted by the attention, and Zoe was incredibly jealous not to be carried, too. But Zoe was almost as tall as the little thing toting Maya around! The waitress spoke a little English, and asked Maya what her name was, and she answered, "BingLi!" I was really surprised – she said she wanted to be called BingLi at school, but everyone is calling her Maya there. This is the first time she's introduced herself with her Chinese name.
So all in all a great day, despite the miscommunication (or whatever) with the friend from Maya's class. Maybe we'll go back with them to pick strawberries another time.

There has been a major demographic shift due to baby boomers retiring from the workforce. With this large sector that holds a number of executive level positions exiting the market, companies now have to sit up and pay attention to executive retention. 55% of executives have worked for 2-3 organizations at the executive management level and only around 44% will stay with their current company for 2-5 years. The following factors contribute to an executive's decision to leave their company:
It has been found that the majority of senior-level executives are very willing to make a career transition if the right opportunity came along. Many companies are offering large incentives including training and opportunities for growth within their businesses. Along with increases in CEO compensation, executive tenure is now a trending incentive from companies to get their employees to stay. There are two key reasons CEO pay increases along with tenure:
Fortune's own CEO data indicates that the 500 largest companies in the U.S. have a median CEO tenure of 4.9 years. It is often common that although longer tenured CEOs do get paid more, their current compensation packages are similar to those offered to recently hired CEOs (Equilar). Knowing that a major demographic shift is occurring from one generation to the next, it appears that companies are making these additional offers of tenure and higher compensation to avoid frequent CEO turnover. There are steep transition costs to replace a CEO which could be motivating companies to be planning ahead and not only find the perfect candidate but also retain them based on their performance. A lead search firm like ours will find you the ideal candidate that will become a long-term asset to your company, contact us today!

Aus to shelve annual cricket Tri Series
Australia decide to shelve their annual cricket Triangular Serries, a feature of their season for the past three decades.cricket Updated: Dec 03, 2007 16:06 IST
Australia will shelve its annual international cricket Tri Series from next season, suspending a competition which has been a fixture of Australian summers for almost 30 years.
Cricket Australia today said it will forego the annual limited overs tournament from the 2008-09 season in favor of head-to-head clashes with traditional rivals. The Tri Series has been a massive drawcard for Australian cricket fans since 1979-80.
Australia will play both South Africa and New Zealand in three tests, five one day matches and possibly one Twenty20 international next year in a new format which rules out the triangular tournament.
This year's Tri Series involving Australia, India and Sri Lanka will be the last of its kind, Cricket Australia said.
Chief executive James Sutherland said scheduling head-to-head series gave Cricket Australia more flexibility with programing. The decision was solely about scheduling and did not indicate th Tri Series had become stale, Sutherland said.
Australia will play head-to-head series against both the West Indies and Pakistan in the summer of 2009-10, but could revert to a triangular series in 2010-11 when England next t

Before I start blabbering about workouts, I want to share an upcoming race and event in West Ashley, Running with the Hounds. We don't have a ton of races close to me, so when we do, I like to share it with my readers.
Held at Middleton Place near West Ashley, Running with the Hounds provides a unique opportunity to run some trails that aren't usually open to the public. You can run or walk the Middleton Place trails, or if you have a dog, you can participate in the popular European sport known as canicross (running with your dog in a tandem harness).
Running with the Hounds has three divisions: runners, canicross, and runners and walkers with their dogs on leashes who want to take in the sights. The trails and lakes that run through Middleton Place host hawks, song birds, wild turkeys, hogs and deer. Post race activities will include dog demonstrations, kayaking, and food trucks, so if you're in the area, you should consider coming out and bringing your furry family members if you have them!
I had a solid week of workouts that I'm proud of. I ran 35 miles, did 2 BodyPump classes, and 1 spin class.
Monday: Monday morning BodyPump. The class did the full BodyPump 91 release. The back track and the shoulders track are super tough.
That evening, we ran a 5K tempo run. Everyone was wiped out, and it was muggy and hot- it felt more like June than October. Howie said to not worry about pace so much but do the best we could with the hot conditions (and everyone's weekend fatigue). My pace was around 15 seconds slower than what my tempo pace should be, but not bad for the temperatures.
After the Avondale 5K, my goal was to not go out too fast in my training runs this week, so I held back the first mile and finished strong with a negative split.
Tuesday: 6 AM spin. Monday and Wednesday nights are pretty tough with speedwork, so spin was a great cross training workout between two hard running days.
Wednesday: Hump Day BodyPump Day- we did a mixture of releases.
That evening, Howie, Tiffany, Joni, and I ran 1/2 mile intervals. I was sprinting down Murray Drive behind Howie when a red sports car drove past us fairly slowly, and I heard Howie yell "Hey Rob!" and the man in the car waved back. I looked over, and it was the sports med doctor who diagnosed and treated my stress reaction last year. Better to see Dr. Lowery while running than in his office.
I guess he knows I've recovered now.
Thursday: 5 miles at the Charleston Community Group Run around Patriot's Point.
Friday: Rest Day! I went to lunch at Café Fork with Liz, Angela, and Kristy. I had a delicious salad and a shrimp flatbread pizza. Café Fork is one of the best restaurants in West Ashley and I had the best company at lunch too (we didn't take a group pic this time).
Saturday: 12 miles with David from DoomBuggy Runner and one of his coworkers. We tried to run the Summerville Sweet Tea Half Marathon course since that's David's next race, but we got lost and missed a turn. Oops. We didn't run a super hard pace, and it was cool outside, so I felt good afterwards.
I came home and watched the Gamecocks beat Furman while wearing my compression socks, then Clay and I went out to Pawley's Front Porch for burgers and played cornhole. It was a beautiful day so we ate outside. The food wasn't bad, but we prefer the Pawley's Front Porch in Columbia over Mt. Pleasant.
Sunday: 8 miles at the OnShore Racing Sunday Run Club. I tempo-ed a few of the miles in there and ran with some new people. I missed the pre-run picture and brunch, so there's no proof I even went to run club today *and* a lack of pictures in this post. Maybe next week I'll be better about taking pictures for my readers, oh well.
I hope everyone has a great week!

I was browsing some of the other sites WordPress recommended to me, looking at different types of recipes. Since I prefer plant-based foods and recipes (but am not vegan) I was amazed when came across the recipe for Magic Chocolate Mousse, from Food to Glow, check it out here.
This recipe is close to miraculous because it does not use eggs or milk and ends up tasting exactly like chocolate mousse! And much lower in calories since traditional chocolate mousse used cream and egg yolks.
The main ingredient used in this recipe is shockingly, white bean brine, you know the stuff you usually drain off of canned garbanzos. Until now I have thrown this down the sink, I won't be doing that EVER again.
This is a pretty new technique discovered in France and it seems to be getting a lot of buzz in the vegan community, which I enjoy following for recipes.
An Instagram post and #chickpeabrine led me to the name they are calling this magical bean water, Aquafaba! There is also a website Aquafaba.com, linked here. It's really cool, they are raising funds to do a scientific evaluation of the brine and why is acts similarly to egg whites!
So far people have been able to do a ton with Aquafaba. Ice cream, Pavlova, lemon meringue pie and marshmallow fluff next on queue for my kitchen!
This week (basically as soon and I came across this method) I have tried Chocolate Mousse and Meringue Cookies and both came out deliciously!
Vegan Chocolate Mousse
Brine of one 15 ounce can of white beans
2 ounces of nice quality dark chocolate
2-3 teaspoons of icing sugar, to taste
- Using double boiler or microwave slowly melt the chocolate
- Using a hand or stand mixer start whipping the brine until it forms soft peaks
- When the peaks are soft and the chocolate is melted but no longer hot, fold the two together
- Give it another 30 second whir with the mixer
- One teaspoon at a time add the sugar to taste
- Mix well one more time
- Chill in the fridge for at least 30 minutes or longer (this can be made a day or two in advance)
- Enjoy!
Vegan Vanilla Bean Meringues
Brine from 15 ounce can of white beans
1/2 scant teaspoon of an acid such as white vinegar or lemon juice
2-3 tablespoons of icing sugar, to taste
1 scraped vanilla bean
1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
- Preheat the oven to 200 degrees f
- Prepare 2 cookie tins with parchment paper
- Add the brine and acid to a bowl
- With a hand or stand mixer start whipping until you have stiff peaks
- While mixing slowly start adding the sugar, to taste
- Fold in the scraped vanilla bean and vanilla extract
- When all mixed add the froth to a plastic bag or pastry bag
- If using a plastic bag push all the whip to one corner and snip the edge!
- Start piping the foam onto the cookie tins
- This made about 24 cookies, 12 cookies per cookie sheet
- Bake for about 1.5 hours, checking at 1 hour
- The cookies are done when dry and not sticky or soft anymore
- Enjoy!
I look forward to experimenting with Aquafaba further, exciting stuff! If you try these recipes let me know how they turn out!

Imagine the mysteries of illusion flowing through the seductive powers of great music. Immerse yourself in another world where the heart soars and the mind is boggled. You have entered the realm of IllusionAria, a groundbreaking show featuring Joseph Spinella, The Tenor of Illusions.
A seamless narrative of illusion and music, IllusionAria features the most loved Italian songs –traditional Neopolitan, "popera" and opera arias - sung by master tenor, Joseph Spinella, while he simultaneously astounds you with his wizardry on stage. Spinella's voice has the power and majesty to convey the deep emotions of the cinematic original arrangements recorded by a full scale orchestra. This production, fully supported by colorful and varied costumes, set and extensive lighting and stage effects, is appropriate for all cultures and all ages while also being a most captivating means to introduce classical music to young people.
The mastery of magic and illusions is an equally important aspect of the show. Characters appear and vanish, a beautiful woman morphs before your eyes and handkerchiefs come to life, dance and disappear. Darker images of death boxes, a head dropping off Spinella's shoulders, corpses rising from the stage, a mirror with images appearing and vanishing, and flying lights are among the many astounding illusions that Spinella commands.
The narrative of the show flows from a point of beauty and joy through darker struggles faced by mankind – death and the fear of loss – and then emerging from the depths to a playful world full of hope and light, even a comedic mood. The journey ends with the grandest song of all – Puccini's Nessun Dorma, a rousing Chinese drum filled aria sung with a sense of triumph and power while Spinella produces a snow storm on stage emanating from his outstretched fingertips.
Spinella's heartfelt singing and mastery of illusions make him a rare phenomenon in the world of entertainment today.

"We focus on growth"
Today, Deutsche Post DHL announced its results for 2010. Revenue grew at a double-digit rate, rising to more than EUR 51 billion, and underlying EBIT climbed overproportionally by nearly 50 percent. In this interview CEO Frank Appel talks about the reasons for the company's good performance during the past financial year and provides a future outlook.
CEO Frank Appel
Mr Appel, 2010 was a very successful year for Deutsche Post DHL. Why do you think the company was able to perform so well?
Frank Appel: We can indeed be very satisfied with the previous financial year. We met or exceeded all of our targets. We generated a double-digit revenue increase surpassing the EUR 50 billion mark. In terms of operating profit, we increased our original guidance twice last year and still finished the year above our latest forecast. The key performance indicators are now back to the highest levels we achieved before the economic and financial crisis. And we have even moved above these levels in some areas. All of this shows one thing: the Group is in very good shape. The restructuring programs that we introduced during the crisis have taken hold and are bearing fruit.
And our Strategy 2015, which we continue to pursue systematically, is coherent and is increasingly becoming effective. Thanks to our presence in all important regions and our range of customer-focused products and services, we have gained an above-average share of growth in global trade flows. This means: as the world's largest provider of logistics services, we are profiting particularly strongly from the ongoing positive growth of the global economy because we positioned ourselves at an early stage to take advantage of the upswing.
You just touched on this point: the recovery of the economy played an important role last year in the Group's positive earnings. Will this also be the case in 2011?
We remain fundamentally optimistic about the economy. But we are not euphoric. We assume that the economic recovery will continue this year - even if it may be on a somewhat lower level. However, we must acknowledge that there is a certain possibility of a setback, resulting for instance from the continued uncertainties in financial markets due to the sovereign-debt crisis in Europe or the turbulences in the North African region and the Arab world.
Another factor is that, like 2010, regions in the world are growing at significantly different rates. The biggest growth rates are still expected to be generated particularly in Asia and the other emerging markets, while Europe and North America will most likely continue to grow more slowly. The critical factor for us and our future success is that we, as the global No. 1, are strongly represented everywhere where growth is being generated.
If the economy grows, your business booms. If it slows, it suffers. Is Deutsche Post DHL too reliant on the general state of the economy?
As the industry leader in logistics, we naturally cannot completely avoid the impact of swings in the economy. But we have worked hard in recent years to cushion the blow. After all, these swings in the economy are expected also in the future. I think that, after successfully making structural changes, we are now positioned in such a way that we can also generate reasonable earnings if the economy should get off track again. Our goal is also to produce growth rates that are significantly above those of the market. And we are very confident that this will be the case in future years - regardless of the particular economic situation.
DHL has now clearly become the Group's growth driver. For the first time, the division contributed more to the Group's operating profit than the MAIL division did. How do you assess this development?
Let me make one point first: we have two strong pillars, and that will remain the case. It is correct to say though, that DHL has performed exactly the way we expected and planned it. We are reaping the fruits of the systematic expansion of this division - for which we have been criticized sometimes in the past. Today, you can see that the expansion strategy in global logistics was absolutely right. As a result, we have diversified beyond our traditional postal business. And the best thing is: we have just begun tapping the growth potential of DHL.
And what will happen with the MAIL division? How bad is the state of your former core business?
We have indeed been fighting a structural top line decline for years now. But we have taken on the challenge and are well on track to master it. You can see just how robust the business is by realizing that we were able last year to successfully manage both higher discounts offered in response to the imposition of value-added tax on revenue with our business customers and the loss of our major customer Arcandor. At the same time, we have invested in this division's future by expanding our digital business. Against this backdrop, an operating profit of EUR 1.15 billion can be considered a success. And we are well on our way towards stabilizing earnings at a level of around EUR 1 billion over the long term.
Thanks to the new wonder weapon E-Postbrief? It will hardly be able to save the MAIL division all by itself.
The E-Postbrief is an exceptional product that specifically addresses a certain need in the market - that is, the need for a more confidential, binding and reliable form of electronic communication. We are very satisfied with the success that the product has achieved in its first months after market launch.
But the E-Postbrief is only one element in our strategy to offer innovative solutions in digital and traditional forms of communication and to use this approach to defend our position as THE postal service for Germany over the long term. One area that is frequently overlooked when looking at the MAIL business: with our rapidly growing parcel business, we are one of the major winners in the e-commerce boom. In the fourth quarter alone, our business customers sent over 10 percent more parcels than they did in the previous year!
What sort of interim report can you give two years after announcing your Strategy 2015?
We have three core goals in the Strategy 2015: we intend to be the provider of choice for our customers, an attractive investment for our stockholders and the employer of choice for our employees. These core goals are closely interrelated and should help us to tap our Group's full potential. They have now become a permanent part of our company's DNA. And we are seeing on every level that we are progressing. Employee satisfaction is growing, and our products are being widely accepted - as our numbers show. In terms of investors, we hear a lot of support for our strategy. And we are confident that we will be able to further strengthen the capital market's confidence in this company and its prospects in the years ahead.
This will be achieved through transparency and reliability, for instance with regard to our dividend policy. With a proposed increase of the dividend to EUR 0.65 per share for the past financial year, we have a distribution ratio of 59 percent based on the consolidated net profit adjusted for non-recurring items - and, as a result, we are right within our communicated target corridor of 40 percent to 60 percent.
And what are the prospects for financial year 2011?
We are focusing on growth, in terms of both revenues and earnings. As I mentioned earlier, we expect the world economy will continue to grow, a development that will particularly support the DHL divisions. As a result, we expect to generate an operating profit of EUR 2.2 billion to EUR 2.4 billion. The MAIL division should contribute about EUR 1 billion to EUR 1.1 billion, and EBIT of the DHL divisions should further increase to between EUR 1.6 billion and EUR 1.7 billion. So we will over proportionally benefit from the economic growth in all parts of the world and further expand our position as the leading logistics group. And of course, this is not the end of our evolution. The year of 2011 will only be another important step on our way to sustainably strengthening our earnings power.

|They have matching outfits - their shirts say big and little sister
We have kept busy playing with friends in the afternoon after trying to hash out our new morning routine. Monday my friend came over and while the kids played she cooked our dinner for us so that night all I had to do was reheat the meat. Yesterday we spent the afternoon at Monkey Joe's jumping with another friend and I "cooked" a frozen pizza for the family. Tonight I might just break the streak and cook something real for the first time since the 5th or I might just let us eat leftovers and shoot for this weekend:)

Daily reminder that any powerlevel chart that includes piece of shit porn characters like Nozomu and Narukana and Lilith is not to be trusted or regarded. They aren't anime or manga and have no right to be on the chart let alone being higher than actual strong anime/manga characters from dragonball or saint seiya.
Fuck, man. I haven't been paying attention to power level threads since 2014.
/r/ing the latest dated version
Giant Dad
Go away, /v/.
Anyone that isn't from porn should be treated as nonexistent. Who the fuck cares about characters from literally children's stories?
I've never bothered about this, could you spoonfeed me on how to read them?
wrong anime power level chart
Why not just asking the guys on the VSbattle forum or something to make the chart so we are good once for all.
/r/ing the latest dated version
It's a powerlevel thread episode
I knew JoJo would have the most powerful character
Any chart without special tier belongs to the thrash.
what the fuck
Daily reminder that, if A rank servant got powerlevel of 100, nine tailed Tamamo has powerlevel of 387420489
Keep telling yourself that Narutard OP.
Reminder to everyone that the last Sup Forums approved powerlevel chart with most of the board participating was from 2010 and did not include any shitty Narutard characters at all.
all those shitty lists
I thought Old Spice-san was MC Ride for a second.
He isn't?
Nah, Biggie faked his death and became slim as fuck.
Daily reminder that if you rank power levels for fictional characters and take it this seriously you should seek professional help for your mental health.
I never got why Walpurgis Night is ranked so low on these. It would pose a huge challenge for vanilla Unit-01.
Someone is rectally riled that hentai characters can beat his favorite heros.
Also hentai,eechi, etc. =/= porn. Keep your 3dpd fetishes out of here.
Overfiend can fuck up your whole list.
That would invalidate the Nasuverse and thus roughly half that list.
Can someone explain why some characters such as Madoka, Homura, Shinigami and Haruhi are special tier? They wouldn't hold a candle to the top ranks such as Myuugi and Demonbane and it's not like they can't die or have no power limit like Misagi and Saitama.
Reminder that powerlevel threads are worthless.
The only reasonable answer.
And yet people are arguing about the lists. Ridiculous.

It's almost Washington DC time!!! Richter and I are so pumped we broke out our fav shirts from Joe's Souvenirs for school today. For the first time ever-- this year we'll visit the National Cathedral, American Indian Museum and African American Museum. So much anticipation!!!
Kids like Katie have been busy working on their packing lists for our three day adventure. You just don't want to leave anything at home. This year we're extremely lucky because it's going to be the most glorious weather we've ever had on this weekend. We're forgetting the hats and gloves and breaking out the t-shirts.
This afternoon we partied at the Staff v Student basketball game to kick off our Pennies for Patients Campaign. In an unprecedented move, the staff totally demolished the 8th grade team. Meanwhile, Jess totally demolished this can of pineapple chunks before her big game.
We all came back to school later tonight for the student/parent DC meeting. Everyone got their lanyards, yellow bandannas and bus rosters. We're so ready.

Hall of fame inductee calls for better truck laws
A Broken Hill man has used his induction into the Transport Hall of Fame to call for more consistent trucking regulation between states.
Steve Radford was inducted at a meeting in Alice Springs at the weekend.
He said it's an honour to be included, after his father was inducted last year.
Mr Radford said the trucking industry has come a long way in the 25 years he has been involved, but there are still improvements to be made.
"We've brought some big dump trucks out of Brisbane in the past five days and trying to come across two states - Queensland and NSW - has been diabolical," he said.
"Next month we're going to bring some 150 tonne dump trucks from Perth to Pooncarie.
"And across three states that have three different lots of laws, three different lots of police escorts, three different lots of permits, three different sorts of company escorts - it's a nightmare."
He's urged state governments to unify their regulations.
"Having common laws across the states with reference to axel weights, registration fees, dimensions of vehicles would be an important thing for our industry," he said.
"And road conditions are different and even laws for dimensional loads."
