#b#Jewish Center Fights Hunger with Donations#/b#
The fight against hunger in Mercer County has just received a leg-up from the Jewish Center of Princeton. Through its Motel and Goldie Bass Social Concerns Fund, the center will fund a quintet of anti-hunger programs in 2011. Exact amounts have not been disclosed, but the agencies benefiting from the grants are:
The Motel and Goldie Bass Social Concerns Fund, established in 2004 by Jewish Center congregant Marian Bass, in memory of her parents — Holocaust survivors who immigrated to the U.S. in 1947 and settled in Atlanta where they ran a supermarket.
"For as long as I can remember, my parents impressed on my brother and me how important it was to make sure that nobody went hungry," says Bass, who is retired from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and now consults on philanthropic matters. "They survived the war because they were taken in and hidden by a family of righteous gentiles. They saw it as their duty to help the needy in our community, and sent us to school loaded down with canned goods for every food drive."
Crisis Ministry, which will buy three freezers to store donated high-protein foods. Crisis Ministry also will purchase food to help restock its pantry, and use part of the grant to build its garden on a vacant lot next to the agency's Trenton office on East Hanover Street.
Crisis Ministry, which provides food, shelter, and employment help for the poor, distributed more than 250 tons of food to more than 4,000 households in 2010.
HomeFront, which will upgrade the equipment and utensils in the kitchen of its Family Preservation Center, an emergency shelter for 40 homeless families. The kitchen served more than 83,000 meals in 2010, and, according to the Jewish Center, desperately needs new appliances and other supplies to replace what now exists. HomeFront also will buy two upright freezers and replenish depleted supplies of bulk food items.
Jewish Family and Children's Service, which will buy a new freezer, restock its pantry, and purchase insulated tote bags and a two-month supply of food for 90 families in need. JFCS operates the county's only all-kosher pantry.
Mercer Street Friends Food Bank, which will buy a variety of material handling and storage equipment to help move and distribute packaged food items in its warehouse. Also, the Food Bank's member agencies will use some of the grant to pay for training in state-mandated ServSafe food-handling procedures, restock its inventory, and build healthy eating starter kits, which include spices, lower-fat cooking oils, and recipes to encourage clients to reduce their use of salt and less-healthy oils.
Mercer Street Friends distributed close to three million pounds of food and groceries in 2010 that reached nearly 25,000 residents of Mercer County.
Trenton Area Soup Kitchen, which will buy an energy-efficient convection oven to replace an existing one. This oven cooks more than 3,300 meals a week.
The Bass Fund also is donating to two anti-hunger organizations outside Mercer County — MAZON, which funds food banks and soup kitchens around the country, and Hazon Yeshaya, a major soup kitchen and social services agency in Israel.
#b#Horizon Grants Fund Education and Wellness #/b#
In a round of donations to several arts, education, and wellness organizations around the state, the Horizon Foundation has given $265,000 to seven agencies from Trenton to New Brunswick.
The Arts Council of Princeton received $5,000 to support its Youth ArtReach Program which provides weekly arts instruction to children. The program offers educational experiences from professional artists to children who do not have access to the same extracurricular programs as their peers.
Young Audiences of New Jersey received $15,000 to support the Family Arts and Creativity Program, which promotes child learning and family-centered arts education activities
American Conference on Diversity in New Brunswick received a $20,000 to support its Delivering Quality Care for Diverse Patient Populations program. The program helps physicians, hospital administrators, and healthcare professionals provide culturally appropriate health care.
American Heart Association in Robbinsville received $150,000 to support its Heart Failure Transitioning Care Project, a two-year program designed to improve the performance of hospital and outpatient services.
Children's Futures in Trenton received $50,000 to support its Obesity and Medical Homes program, which addresses childhood obesity and in-home pediatric care. The grant supports approximately 2,500 children.
State Theater Regional Arts Center in New Brunswick, received $15,000 to support its artist-in-residence program.
Trenton Community Music School received $10,000 for general operating support and to subsidize music lessons and financial aid based on family size and income.

Cable sports giant ESPN has acquired the intellectual property of PVI Virtual Media Services, a subsidiary of Cablevision Systems that provides technology to insert computer-generated images into TV broadcasts. Originally a spinoff of Sarnoff Corp., PVI is best known as the inventor of the yellow first down line seen in televized football games.
Financial terms were not disclosed, but under the agreement ESPN will hire nearly all of PVI's engineering staff.
#b#Real Estate News#/b#
The Times of Trenton, 500 Perry Street, Box 847, Trenton 08605; 609-989-5454; fax, 609-394-2819. Brian Malone, editor and publisher. www.nj.com/times
The Times of Trenton building at 500 Perry Street in Trenton has come off the market. According to Anne LaBate of the Segal LaBate commercial real estate firm in Trenton, the Times had been looking to sell the building for $3.5 million, but never found a buyer. LaBate says she had hoped to sell the building to a charter school, but no deal was ever worked out.
LaBate says that the building is a tough sell because of its construction. Being such a solid building means that it would be expensive to demolish — probably around $1.5 million, an expense that has to be factored in.
One possibile future for the building is that it will be demolished and sold for scrap once the Times moves what remains of its operations from Perry Street. Michael Pratico Sr., the real estate agent for the Times building said that he could not comment on what the Times has planned as a company. Times publisher Brian Malone did not return a call for comment.
The Times has seen its scale downsize rapidly since late 2008, when it and its sister publication, the Star-Ledger, cut several positions on word that the company would go up for sale by owners, the Newhouse Group.

October holds the promise of not just autumnal festivities and cooler weather, but also a number of enriching cultural arts events in the greater Fayetteville area. One of the more recent festivals to debut here was the Indigo Moon Film Festival (IMFF), in 2016. This year, we're anticipating the three-day fest will once again draw film fanatics and arts lovers to downtown for a beautiful celebration of the art of film-making. For festival first-timers, we're sharing our "Top 7 Reasons" to add IMFF to your fall plans (October 13-15). Consider this to be your personal invitation to delve into Fayetteville's thriving arts scene, one movie at a time.
- Walkable Fest - Every venue hosting events and screenings is within walking distance of one another in Fayetteville's historic downtown, known as Cool Spring Downtown District. Park your car for free at the Franklin Street Parking Deck. Then grab your tickets from The Rainbow Room, attend the special events at SkyView on Hay, and screen the films at one of four host sites—Arts Council, CAMEO Art House Theatre, Hay Street United Methodist Church and SkyView (see Google map below).
- Opening Film - IMFF's Opening Night Film is HONDROS—a feature-length documentary about the life of Chris Hondros, considered to be one of the most important conflict photographers of his generation. Hondros' story leads right back to Fayetteville, where he graduated from high school and worked as a newspaper reporter. At the peak of his career, Hondros was killed in combat in Libya, but his award-winning photographs and achievements are now immortalized in this remarkable film.
- Good Eats - At Friday's Opening Night Reception, hosted by SkyView, film-goers will be treated to a variety of hors d'oeuvres and sweets from some of the best downtown eateries: Caruso Confections, Reyhan Turkish Kebaps, Sherefe', The Sweet Palette and The Wing Company. At Sunday's Awards BBQ Banquet, also at SkyView, Mission BBQ will be serving folks a delicious spread of grilled meats and hearty sides.
- 45 Films in 12 Hours - Saturday's Film Day schedule includes 45 films from filmmakers who hail from North Carolina and around the world. Choose from documentary features and shorts, student films, animation and narrative features and shorts. Then prepare for a total cinematic immersion.
- Downtown Experience - Three days offer plenty of opportunities to experience everything Cool Spring Downtown District has to offer its visitors. After events or in between screenings, pop into a boutique or art gallery, enjoy a tasty bite to eat on a restaurant patio, stroll through a museum or grab a craft beer from a brewery.
- Encore Showing - If you miss the screening of one of the award recipients, you will have a second chance at Sunday's Encore Film Showing. Take in all the award-winning films, as well as one last viewing of HONDROS, to close out this incredible weekend.
- VIP Pass - Purchase this $100 ticket and you won't have to miss a single minute of the three-day fest. The VIP Pass grants you admission to all events and gives you the chance to pick and choose from the long list of films to be screened. Take it from us, VIP is the way to go at IMFF.
Are you planning a trip to Fayetteville for IMFF? Check out the discounted hotel rates available through their Partner Hotels. The Fayetteville Area Convention & Visitors Bureau also offers visitors several resources to make their stay a memorable and enjoyable one—to include a county-wide Calendar of Events and a list of area Restaurants and Shopping.

Why evil exists, we aren't sure. Some say in order to have good, there must be evil. A balance of sorts.
For helpless animals, we wish this weren't true. We wish they never had a bad day in their lives.
Neighbors heard desperate cries coming from a trash container outside and called the authorities. The cries were unlike anything they've ever heard.
Even the police were in shock. Were they cries of pain? Fear? Or both?
Source: Viktor Larkhill/YouTube
As they reached inside the garbage bin, they pulled out a dog wrapped inside a trash bag. The poor dog was put there by a monster!
It was obvious that he was an older dog. You could see his cataracts and greying fur. Who would do such a thing?
They scanned for a microchip but there wasn't one.
Source: Viktor Larkhill/YouTube
The authorities immediately contacted the local rescue. Viktor Larkhill and his team never turn away an animal in need. They came quickly and gave the dog a name: Koby.
They brought Koby to the medical center. He was covered in his own feces and urine from being in the plastic bag and trapped in the container. They bathed him. As they did, he cried and cried. It was heartbreaking.
Source: Viktor Larkhill/YouTube
That's when they realized he was having seizures. As they put Koby on the exam table, they could see he had a head wound.
The vet assessed him. The shape of the wound was indicative of what a hammer would cause.
Koby's case just gets crueler by the second! Who would hit an innocent dog with a hammer?! Who could be so callous?! So inhumane?!
Source: Viktor Larkhill/YouTube
The medical team prepared a place for Koby to rest. As they did, they mixed up medication for his IV. He would get pain relief and anti-seizure medication, as well as fluids for hydration.
Koby would sleep without pain, without suffering. Koby needs a lot of rest to get better. After lying him down, they put warm blankets on top of him, as you'll see in the video posted below…
Source: Viktor Larkhill/YouTube
As Koby heals, the police investigate who may be responsible. For now, the medical staff and rescue group use their energy and prayers on Koby's recovery. He has a long road ahead of him.
Watch the video below to learn more about Koby. Our prayers are with him and his team.

In recognition of Breast Cancer Awareness Month and in partnership with Ford Warriors in Pink, Kathy Shaffer of Shaffer Ford in Oakland and Greg and Vivian Diehl of Diehl's Ford in Grantsville presented a handmade quilt from the Annual Warrior Quilt Project to Oakland MRI Center.
The pink quilt featured fabric squares adorned with messages of support and hope from breast cancer survivors and their loved ones. It will be displayed at Oakland MRI Center as a symbol of hope and comfort to women receiving 3D mammography or other diagnostic services.
During the month of October, Oakland MRI sold commemorative breast cancer awareness t-shirts with portions of the proceeds going to Cindy's Fund, a local non-profit whose mission supports Garrett Countians undergoing cancer treatment. Offering flexible hours and timely results, Oakland MRI is open Monday through Friday from 7:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. with diagnostic services that include 3D Mammography, Breast Ultra Sound, Dexa Bone Density screening and MRIs.
About Ford Warriors in Pink Annual Warrior Quilt Project Ford Motor Company has been active in the fight against breast cancer since 1993.

To recognize the Warriors making a stand against breast cancer, Neighborhood Ford Store partners with the Pittsburgh Race for the Cure for the Annual Warrior Quilt Project. Warrior Quilts are made of fabric squares decorated at Neighborhood Ford Store's booth at the Pittsburgh Race for the Cure. Each square has a message of encouragement and hope for survivors and loved ones. Each quilt reminds us of how many lives breast cancer affects, while also symbolizing the effort to defeat it.In October (Breast Cancer Awareness Month) quilts are donated to breast cancer treatment centers at hospitals and clinics throughout the region.

Saturday was the usual day for me. I was watching the college basketball games the whole day long.
Of course when I would get a break I would be on the computer checking on a few things.
It seems that you always have something that needs to be google searched and it sure beats the old days when you would have to get out the old encyclopedia to look it up.
Yesterday we where going to go to church, but for some reason I was having a little bit of a rough time getting my breath. Nancy thought it would be the best if we stayed home and she is usually right.
Nancy fixed turkey patties, baked potato, green beans and a salad for our dinner which really tasted very good. I thought the turkey patty was not going to be tasty but after she added a combination of spices it was the best turkey patties I have eaten.
Later on in the day everything was ok with me so those little things come and go with me.
The temperatures are going to be in the 70's this week with the sun shining most of the time.
We don't have any plans for the day so we will just let it happen.
Thanks for stopping by and have a great day.

The Theater: Berkeley Playwright Makes Hometown Debut
In a swirl of scenes that quickly alternate between darkness and light, at first very different in what they show, then interpenetrating, Just Theater stages the Bay Area premiere of Berkeley native Anne Washburn's "text about message," I Have Loved Strangers, for just three more performances, through Saturday.
In the darkness, the cast files in, intoning a Gregorian chant, giving the City Club a cloistered air. But just for a moment. Lights on, there's a downtown rush of busy-ness and overlapping dialogue, techno-chatter, banalities ... reading from the book in which "he wrote it all down," Baruch (Michael Barrett Austin) throws the immediate into retrospect: "It was a day of astounding light, bursting out everywhere ... Not yet noon ..."
Above the audience, seated on the sides of the Julia Morgan-designed salon, is a structure that resembles the model for a freeway overpass. And there is a recurrent atmosphere in the play of backrooms and of the subterranean, of being underneath something.
Into the contemporary bustle wanders a rudely robed, bearded man (Ryan Oden)—a street person? He starts speaking in apocalyptic, scriptural rhetoric as the others shy away from him. It's recognizable: from Jeremiah in the King James Bible.
Other scenes follow, seemingly disjointed. A couple (Mick Mize and Alexandra Creighton), clearly cityfolk, hike in the dark, with the sound of frogs and the stars overhead, later exploring the headstones in an old cemetery, the rest of the ensemble in tableau as the Victorian funerary sculpture. One woman asks her friend (Creighton again and Lindsey Gates) to tell her who she (the questioner) is. Are they old school friends playing a game? Or is it a change to a nom-de-guerre? ... A man (Carson Creecy IV) posed with an espresso cup (with which he'll later do a wry flamenco) asks the Old Testament prophet out to dinner—from which he's abducted. A modern-day prophet (Anthony Nemirovsky) chats at a cocktail party about how he receives his prophecies, later telling his wife (Gates again) how he was whisked away by armed men while buying coffee beans and questioned by—the king? (later played by Joseph O'Malley) ... The Old Testament prophet wakes up in a safe house in the middle of the night as the Whore of Babylon (Meera Kumbhani) sings to him.
Ensemble work and the portrayal of individuals provide a contrast, yet in their back-and-forth provide the fluid motion of the show. All the disparate pieces, in their various registers of tone and rhetoric, are gathered up into one odd compound that is—refreshingly—never completely pinned down by plot or "back story." Besides the scriptural passages, the author and her collaborators were inspired by "material overheard on the streets of New York [in 2005] ... and the activities of the Weather Underground."
The binding together of the different vignettes into one tale displays irony, quite different from the usual melding of discrete episodes in a film or TV show. Maybe the lyrical passages take off too much of the edge (which the humor of unlikely juxtapositions relieves pretty well), but they might also provide some of the bright notes in a scale that runs from admonitory to conversational.
Washburn spoke of how she's used memories of her childhood in '70s-'80s Berkeley, "a city obsessed, in the most graceful and graceless ways possible, with the truth."
Just Theater's a young troupe, with the show directed by Jonathan Spector, literary manager of Playwrights Foundation (which partnered in presenting the show), and produced by company founder Molly Aaronson-Gelb, who's worked with Shotgun, Berkeley Rep and CalShakes. Based in the East Bay, they're a welcome addition to our diverse stage scene.

Samuel L. Jackson Says '12 Years A Slave' Limits Racism to the History Books
A lot of people have a lot of opinions about race in Hollywood. I'm one of those people. If you clicked on this article it's likely that you're one of those people. Your second cousin once removed's probably one of those people if her facebook's any indication, etc. But when it comes to race in Hollywood, there's one group of people we really really should pay attention to when they pipe in with their thoughts on the Issues: People of color actually working in Hollywood. Which is why Samuel L. Jackson's comments on 12 Years A Slave are so interesting.
Here's what he said in an interview with International Business Times recently:
I would think that if an African-American director went into a studio and pitched that particular film, they would be like: 'No, no, no.' It is a film about African-Americans — a dark period of history that they don't like to explore in that particular way.
Look, I'm glad 12 Years got made and it's wonderful that people are seeing it and there is another view of what happened in America. But I'm not real sure why Steve McQueen wanted to tackle that particular sort of thing.
This is an aspect to the 12 Years thing that is definitely present and meaningful, but that I haven't seen discussed all that much. But it does bring up some questions, and I love that Jackson's talking about it. British publication The Guardian wondered aloud about the ways in which American racism had been tackled by the British director, writing:
In America many people have asked why it has taken so long for a film to do justice to the appalling plight of African America's slave ancestors and why no US film-makers have succeeded before in confronting their country's shameful past with such unflinching power and historical accuracy. Variety said it was a "disgrace" that, after so long, it has taken "a British director to stare the issue in its face".
What seems apparent, though, isn't so much the idea that it took a British director to tackle the true essence of slavery's horrors — I have no doubt that countless black American directors over the years have had takes that would have worked beautifully — but rather Jackson's sentiment: That it was American Hollywood's studio system's fear over allowing a film like that to lie in the hands of one of people who'd actually grown up in the country whose horrors were being depicted.
Jackson also brings up something that's been on my mind since seeing 12 Years (which, for the record, I loved, and which had the necessary emotionally shattering affect on me), which is that the film should evoke in people more anger and emotion about the present state of race relations in America. It's here that he brings up Fruitvale Station as what he refers to as a "braver" film about race this year:
It explains things like the shooting of Trayvon Martin, the problems with stop and search, and is just more poignant. America is much more willing to acknowledge what happened in the past: 'We freed the slaves! It's all good!' But to say: 'We are still unnecessarily killing black men' – let's have a conversation about that.
Part of what made 12 Years a Slave such a potent experience to me was that tie to the ways in which the legacies of slavery are still battering people down even today — but Jackson's got a point in his argument that perhaps not everyone was as rearing to read that into the film as I was. Because films like 12 Years A Slave can't just be about the horrifics of the past; even when they take place centuries ago, all you have to do is pay attention to the news to see how it still matters.

I was attracted to its cute packaging, which seemingly depicts father-son bonding, but on closer inspection, it appears the father is digging the son up with a shovel. This possible potrayal of vegetarian cannibalism is somewhat disturbing, but I'm more confused by the literal translation of the English label of "tamanegi santoro," which translates to mushroom onions (according to Google Translate). I'm not sure I tasted any mushroom flavor, but it does taste of a combination of sweet and savory Funyun's onion powder with a soy aftertaste reminiscent of takoyaki sauce. A little salty, but still tasty. 3.5/5.03.5 puffs corn onion santaro tamanegi kado cornpuffs midoriya japanese Reocmmended

Simon Youth Foundation seeks applicants for $1M in scholarships | Schools
ATLANTA -- For a 14th straight year, Simon Youth Foundation, a national nonprofit that provides educational opportunities for at-risk high school students, will award a college scholarship to one student from every community that is home to a Simon property. Simon Youth Foundation Community Scholarships are awarded through the Simon Youth Scholarships program and in partnership with local Simon properties. The application period is open through Saturday, Jan. 11.
Locally, students can pick up a copy of a scholarship application at the Simon Guest Services Center at Atlanta-area Simon malls, including Lenox Square, Phipps Plaza, Mall of Georgia, Town Center at Cobb, Northlake Mall and Sugarloaf Mills. Applications can also be downloaded at the SYF website at www.syf.org/our-initiatives/scholarships/community-application.
Any student who will be graduating in the class of 2014 and lives within 50 miles of a Simon property is eligible. The program will award a one-time scholarship of up to $1,500 to students who plan to enroll in an accredited college, university, vocational or technical school.
In addition, 10 regional awards called "Award of Excellence" will be given to top candidates. The regions eligible are Atlanta, Austin, Boston, Dallas, Indianapolis, Miami, New York, Orange County (Calif.), Orlando and Seattle/Tacoma. Students from these areas will have the opportunity to win a $2,500 scholarship that is renewable for up to three years.
In 2013, the Simon Youth Scholarships program awarded $1.1 million to 389 students nationwide.
"Our mission is to ignite hope for a brighter future in students, and our Foundation is proud to partner with Atlanta-area Simon malls to award scholarships that will remove some of the financial obstacles that would otherwise prevent a student from achieving the dream of a college education," says J. Michael Durnil, Ph.D., the President and CEO of SYF.
The 2014 SYF Community Scholarship recipients will be selected by Scholarship Management Services, a third-party administrator. Students are selected based on a variety of criteria, including financial need, academic performance, leadership skills and participation in school and community activities. Those students who are the first in their family to pursue a post secondary education will also be given close consideration.
The completed application, along with official school transcripts and parents' most recently filed tax form, must be sent to Scholarship Management Services by Jan. 11.

Pulsara releases version 6.2, debuting 'Flexible Teams' feature
BOZEMAN, Mont. — Pulsara announced today the release of software version 6.2. The highlight of the release is the Flexible Teams feature, which allows hospital admins to create, assign and alert unlimited CUSTOM teams. In addition, users can now go on call for custom teams, with the option of being assigned for MULTIPLE hospitals at the same time. "This feature is a big step in our efforts to make Pulsara work for YOU and your unique system," said Erich Hannan, Chief Development Officer.
The company also put out a tutorial for adding the IR team within the platform:
Add the IR Team | A Quick Tutorial
Add the IR Team
Once you have determined that it is an endovascular case, you will need to alert your IR Team
• Scroll to the Intervention card in Pulsara.
• Tap 'Assign' to add the IR team to the case.
Alert IR Team
From the Assign Team Screen
• Tap the Check Box next to the 'Interventional Radiology' team
• Tap 'Save' to alert the IR Team of the new case.
Note: Now that teams are entirely flexible, any team can be marked as "Intervention." Admins can configure which team(s) perform Intervention, and prepare the endovascular suite/lab. A hospital might have multiple IR Teams.
Another feature of 6.2 is the added ability to edit stopped cases in mobile. Now users can add an image after the case has been stopped, add a message for the team, or edit patient contact details easily.
Pulsara now also shows 24 hour time for all time fields to improve consistency and simplicity.
According to Pulsara, some users sent feedback that the "Yes/No" toggle for stroke contraindications was somewhat misleading. Now when mobile users need to specify contraindications, they simply tap the "Set" button to view the screen where contraindications are listed. They then select the appropriate items, and tap "save."
Finally, Pulsara now displays a Notes icon to indicate that there are Notes attached to Stroke evaluations.
With regard to user feedback and continued demand for the platform in regions across the United States, James Woodson, Founder and CEO of Pulsara said "Our clients are the antidote to the communication crisis in emergency healthcare. THANK YOU for your commitment to ending this crisis and fighting for better outcomes for your patients."
See the full release notes here.

More talks in the program:
09:00 - 10:00
One of the twelve principles in the Agile Manifesto tells us that business experts and developers need to work together on a daily basis. Scrum implements this principle by putting a Product Owner into the team, that channels communication between business and development. But there is an inherent problem with how this limits collaboration and exchange of knowledge. With the ever increasing project complexity and market speed it is time for a reboot. The hard truth is that developers need to speak to stakeholders and vice versa. Let us show you how this can be less daunting than it sounds (and why there is no alternative).

by Tom Scott, MRA Senior Vice President Communications and Marketing
Note: Publisher Jim Hallan invited Michigan Retailer Editor Tom Scott to use his column for a farewell on the eve of retirement after 24 years with MRA.
A relatively early Boomer (1950), I'm one of the 76 million Americans born between 1946 and 1964. America's first television generation (and oh so much more!), we Baby Boomers are now retiring at the rate of 10,000 a day, according to the Social Security Administration.
That's a lemmings-like plunge that's finally opening up job opportunities for the generations behind us.
And they couldn't be happier.
Nor could we! Retirement is a remarkable accomplishment for a group that once sang it hoped to die before it got old.
But before all we Boomers ride off into obscurity (something Boomers hate), how about another look at this generation. (All factoids are from the web – sources upon request.)
Pop Culture
Boomers, with the "pop culture" we created and named (and amplified with loud electronics), have tended to regard ourselves as a special generation, far different from those that came before.
Whether or not that's really true, we were the first to claim we were and the first to see the world in terms of generations: Greatest (born before 1928), Silent (1928-45), Baby Boom (1946-64), X (1965-80) and Millennials (1981-97).
Growing up in unprecedented, post-World War II prosperity (after the Greatest set the table by saving the world), we were the first generation of youth with significant spending power. We fueled the growth of massive marketing campaigns and an endless parade of new consumer products. We created (or bought) "lifestyles."
Why else did station wagons become the rage in the 1950s, morph into minivans to carry Boomers' own young families and then into SUVs? The coming revolution of self-driving cars will accommodate Boomers' old-age disabilities just fine.
Millennials took over as the largest group in the U.S. population in 2016, displacing Boomers by a score of 75.4 million to 74.9 million.
That accounts for our present culture's fascination with what makes Millennials tick. Step aside, Boomers.
But not so fast.
Retailers and marketers who overlook Boomers for the next couple decades are missing what remains a goldmine of opportunity. Consider:
• Boomers still represent a huge chunk of the U.S. population (44 percent), are projected to hold 70 percent of the nation's disposable income and buy 49 percent of total consumer-packaged goods.
• Boomers will inherit $15 trillion in the next 20 years and already own 80 percent of all the money in U.S. savings and loans.
• Over the next 20 years, Boomers' spending is expected to increase by 58 percent to $4.74 trillion.
• 35 percent of all U.S. homeowners are Boomers.
• 62 percent say they have the best shopping experience at a brick-and-mortar store, compared to 19 percent who say online-only retailer.
So, call Boomers what you will – the pig in the python, the shockwave or now the silver tsunami – just don't call us late for the party!
PS. On a more personal note, deeply felt thanks to everyone connected with MRA – members, board members, officers and all the other great people I've worked alongside – for making the past quarter century a wonderful thing. Each of you will be remembered and missed.

Have you ever thought about this?
Nope, I am sure you didn't but to your good luck, someone surely did.
Come let us take you back to the trace of history where I myself went, in order to learn about the innovation of the #BallPointPen and its Innovator.
Well, to be very honest, it wasn't until yesterday when I realized that as mighty as the PEN is, and the great import it keeps for the whole world, we humans being ungrateful & ignorant as usual, forgot to recognize and give its creator his due share of #RECOGNITION & #RESPECT.
Can you imagine a life without pen…? well, for me it would be too tough to do that. Being a writer myself I can not even think about the world without pen, everything which this world knows about its humans is because of the 'M-I-G-H-T-Y PEN.' With centuries passed human grew from the obnoxiousness and animalistic activities and worked a lot for this present world.
Although we can obviously not forget the war and ruthless world we have transformed into but PEN was always there as an important reason behind any change!
So, it was on 29th September when an innovator named László József Bíró who was born in the year 1899 in Budapest, Hungary invented the #BallPointPen about almost eight decades ago. What's funny behind its invention is that they came into existence because of the fountain pens.
Once, a sometime Journalist/Painter László got too frustrated because of the blotting and smudging created by these fountain pens which were used at that time. Getting his inspiration from a newspaper printing press which used #quick-drying-ink & a #roller.
László teamed up with his brother György, who was a chemist and invented 'BIRO' and got its patent on 15 July 1938. Well, as far as I remember the #BIRO history talks about its connection with world war 2 but we won't talk about it here.
The pen is still called a 'BIRO' in countries including the UK, Ireland, Australia and Italy, but in the US it is known as a ballpoint pen.
We congratulate László for this life changing invention and wish him on his 117th birthday with Google:)
*Rest In Peace*

Polish-French scientist Marie Curie was one of the pioneers in the field of radiation and radioactivity. Through her work in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, she radically expanded her knowledge of radiation, radioactive isotopes, and discovered two radioactive elements-polonium and radium. For her efforts, she won numerous awards and recognitions including Nobel Prizes in Physics and Chemistry-she was the first woman to win a Nobel Prize, and the distinction of being the only two-category winner with Linus Pauling.
Unfortunately, at the time of her research, the effects of radiation on cellular structure were unknown. Radiation-at the age of 66. The artifacts found in the laboratory, including their numerous research notebooks, are still as radioactive as to require special storage and protective equipment to handle.

Western Weyr - Corrals
Enclosed by a high wooden fence on one side and the steep walls of the weyr on the other is a half acre of grass that holds the Weyr's herdbeasts and wherry flock. While this dragon feeding area is smaller than most of the Weyrs on Pern, there is still enough room for a large dragon to swoop down and grab his dinner with relative ease.
Electric lights light the entrances as those on night duty come out to take over, moving quietly in the night so as not to disturb those sleeping about the Weyr.Winter has descended once again upon the Western island, though those from the north would never be able to tell it, but the short days and the cooler nights are painfully obvious to those born here.
Sevaruth wastes no time as she enters the corrals, even to ignoring the other dragons crowding the area. She quickly finds her prey and lands, before she begins to blood at the ovine she killed, mantling slightly over her kill to protect it from others. Another hissing cry of defiance as one bronze gets to close to her prey and there is a lashing of her tail to show her fury.
Glyith is already blooding as well, sucking dry his first heardbeast from the throat. It squirms a little, and then lies still. The dragon lifts his muzzle to the wind for a moment, to test it.
From the lip of the bowl a shadowy bronze rumbles, eyes whirling a slight purple in his sudden attentiveness of the gold in the corrals, Lupiciuth swaying his head back and forth slightly as he watches. Spreading his wings suddenly, he dips down towards the fencing, hissing at a bronze that he lands a little close to. Noticing others already working on their kills, Lupiciuth paces the length of the fence before bunching his limps and launching at a passing herdbeast, clamping his jaws on it's throat to cease it's death scream.
Sevaruth moves from blooding to flight, in the few seconds it takes her to discard the second carcass of another ovine and then she is up and into the air. There is a great snap of golden wings as she seeks to put as much air space under her as possible and then she simply works on lift, leaving her farther and farther away from the ground the weyr below. Heading on up, toward the clouds so far above and seeking to hide the flash of gold hide, in the sunlight hit clouds.
Glyith takes to the air after the gold flash that is Sevaruth. He lacks the sleeker shape of his rivals. Knowing this, and knowing that his strength will carry him through to the end, he's not concerned to be first of the ground, or even first behind her. He is, however, faster off the ground than even he's ready for, somewhat surprised to be in the air. Quickly, the dragon shakes his head clear, and gets down to the business at hand, a bright croon of excitement escapes him as the wind catches under his wings.
Lupiciuth seems a little stressed that he must leave the carcass behind, ripping into it jsut a little more before he suddenly bunches his limbs like a spring and lifts after the glinting golden one. Roaring at his excitement, the dark bronze snaps his teeth again at a close competitor, causing the brown to squeal a little and make Lupiciuth a bit smug with himself. But alas, less for the competitors, and more for the competition. Pushing his wings to catch the air about him, he lifts ever higher to chase Sevaruth, giving a little croon in her direction as he tries to close the distance, slowly but surely… Possibly.
Nebryth drops his latest kill and heads after Sevaruth. His dark hide allows him to blend into shadowed areas. He also uses his coloring to 'play' shadow as he follows the glorious golden one into the skies.
Sevaruth has settled in for flying for distance now, this day. Her wings are spread wide as she moves from the path of thermal to thermal and leads the way far, far away from Western. She is not taunting her chasers so much as simply enjoying the path to freedom and the delight in rising into the skies only to drop into a free fall seconds later. As the hours pass, she eventually begins to tire and consider those that linger behind her, still with her on this tumultuous dance across the skies.
Glyith rumbles, pleased. The queen's decision to fly for distance favors him. He tries his best to match her speed, but can't — she's just too determined. He settles in for the long haul, biding his time and knowing that some of his rivals, at least, won't be able to last. But of course it's not those rivals he has to worry about — it's the others, the ones with the strength to match his!
Lupiciuth curbs his flight which allows him to follow after the golden Sevaruth, sustaining his stamina which his color was built for. The sudden dive she takes from the air catches him off guard, but was just a bit of hesitance the dark bronze folds his wings in and lets gravity catch him up, if it's possible. Finally kiting out his wings suddenly, he catches himself in the air a little above and behind the queen. Frustration makes the bronze snap his teeth in Glyith's direction, but being a bronze as well, Lupiciuth doesn't push it. He sends another croon to Sevaruth to show his appeal of her, and bides his time for the gold to make her choice, or to tire enough for a bronze to swoop in and catch her.
Nebryth is still following like a shadow will, for that he is a shadow. He also enjoys the flight, the sun warm on his dark hide. He checks out his competition, he may be on the small side for a bronze but he has staying power. He continues on, flying, chasing a dream.
Sevaruth is moving to allow her chasers closer, to allow a better chance to see just who is available. She doubles back, checking out each bronze and brown as best she can without being ensared before she is ready. She has had enough experience to attempt this, although she still takes her chances, sometimes getting to close it seems as she watches their flying abilities , in her sheer joy at unfettered freedom. But now, now perhaps she has gotten too close and someone may ensnare her.
Glyith startles. Now is the moment! He only has a seconds to decide and get into position. He drops his wing, gaining speed. He stretches them outward, but his gesture is tentative and she threatens to slip away. But those wings are strong, and with a fresh surge he comes closer. Perhaps… just perhaps, they can share freedom.
Nebryth reaches, is this his chance, will he catch the gold this time? The shadowed bronze stretches forth with paws, mind, neck and tail as he attempts to woo the golden Sevaruth.
Lupiciuth watches the queen try to make her choice, banking his wings to always keep her in sight ,even as she tries to stay out of reach. With an impatiently whipping tail, he suddenly dives outward as she passes a little too close to the pack, limbs extended in an attempt to encircle her. He croons again, trying to encourage her to him, even as he attempts to close the distance.
Sevaruth has miscalculated, wary of those bronzes she knows and not giving enough credit to those that are not as familiar.

BETHESDA, MD—Does universal healthcare access provided by the MHS translate into improved patient outcomes for non-small cell lung cancer?
That was the question examined in a new study published in Cancer Epidemiology, Biomarkers & Prevention. Survival of NSCLC patients treated within the MHS was compared to the U.S. general population.1
The study was led by researchers from the John P. Murtha Cancer Center, Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences and Walter Reed National Military Medical Center.
MHS data for the study were from the DoD's Automated Central Tumor Registry (ACTUR), while data for the general population came from the National Cancer Institute's Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) program.
The focus was on NSCLC patients diagnosed between Jan. 1, 1987, and Dec. 31, 2012, in ACTUR and a sample of SEER patients who were matched to the ACTUR patients on age group, sex, race and year of diagnosis group with a matching ratio of 1:4. Follow-up continued through Dec. 31, 2013.
Ultimately, 16,257 NSCLC patients were identified from ACTUR ,and 65,028 matched patients from SEER.
Results indicated that, Compared with SEER patients, ACTUR patients had significantly better overall survival (log-rank P < 0.001). The better overall survival among the ACTUR patients remained after adjustment for potential confounders (HR = 0.78, 95% confidence interval, 0.76-0.81).
Researchers emphasized that the survival advantage of the ACTUR patients was present regardless of cancer stage, grade, age group, sex or race.
"The MHS's universal care and lung cancer care programs may have translated into improved survival among NSCLC patients," study authors concluded, pointing out that their results confirms that NSCLC patients with universal care access have better outcomes.

text: Johannesburg – There has been a notable increase in the number of black entrepreneurs seeking to re-enter the corporate world.According to Debbie Goodman-Bhyat, MD of Jack Hammer Executive Headhunters, financing difficulties have proved too cumbersome for many business owners."The after-shocks of the recession are still very much being felt within the BEE (black economic empowerment) investment space," said Goodman-Bhyat. "It is much more difficult to access capital and funding than it was a few years ago and as a result, many BEE deals are trapped in debt as the flow of investment returns needed to pay off their loan diminishes."Sandra Burmeister, CEO of Landelahni Recruitment Group, which specialises in the recruitment of black professionals, said it seems to be especially small business owners which are the most affected, rather than the bigger BEE consortiums."We are certainly seeing an increase in entrepreneurs wanting to re-enter the corporate sector or the formal job market. However, this is not only relevant to black professionals but stretches across gender, race and profession," said Burmeister. She said small businesses which operate in professional services industries, including human resources, accounting and consulting, are taking the most strain. That's because in a boom economy, small businesses flourish as there is access to funds from banks to support cashflow, if required. But in a downturn, big companies slow their payment cycles and spend less on professional services. "We do see many black professionals in the 'professional of services industry' wanting to re-enter the corporate market," said Burmeister. Burmeister said in the early days of BEE many people set up investment consortiums, but stayed in their jobs until there were substantial investments and some kind of dividend flow or income to support them. However, others left the corporate sector only to realise investments were long-term.Goodman-Bhyat also said in some cases black professionals have done well out of earlier deals, but recognise that future deal flow may be slow. These individuals have made some money – but not enough to retire – and now they're happy to consider more 'secure' corporate positions, where qualified black professionals are in high demand. "This is great news for SA corporates, some of whom are still battling to secure highly qualified black talent, who come at a premium and are easily poached," she said. - Fin24.com

There does not seem to be any customer reviews available for this product on the manufacturer's website.

This dietary supplement does have some good ingredients and it is also fairly cost effective which may suggest that this is an ok product however, there are concerns for some possible severe side effects according to research with regards to one of the ingredients used and it also has no money back guarantee. In general Prosta-Max for Men, unfortunately, does not seem to be the best product out there and it may be a good idea to consider your other options.

Elisa Camahort Page, activist and co-founder of the pioneering women's media company BlogHer, discusses her essential and engaging guide, Road Map for Revolutionaries: Resistance, Activism, and Advocacy for All.
A direct, snappy guidebook on engaging in effective day-to-day activism and advocacy at all levels that uses checklists, interviews, and case studies to showcase the tools for making the changes you want to see in society and government.
As marches, protests, and boycotts return to the cultural conversation in the United States and everyday people look to take action and make their voices heard, this hands-on, hit-the-ground-running guide delivers lessons on practical tactics for navigating and protecting one's personal democracy in a gridlocked, heavily surveilled, and politically volatile country. Aimed at people who want to act but don't know what to do next, Road Map for Revolutionaries provides the resources needed to help you feel more safe, empowered, invested in, and intrinsic to the American experiment. Authors Elisa Camahort Page, Carolyn Gerin, and Jamia Wilson pull from a shared interest in positive change and diverse cultural, generational, and occupational backgrounds to break down key issues and outline action steps for local, state, and federal levels. The book addresses timely topics such as staying safe at protests, supporting marginalized communities, online privacy, and keeping up the fight for the long term. Along with breaking down topics into bullet point-style takeaways, the team also supplements the information with chapter opener illustrations from designer, artist, and archivist Josh MacPhee and infographics created by designer Lilli Keinaenen.
"Road Map for Revolutionaries answers all the questions you were afraid to ask, plus some you never thought of. It's portable, requires no batteries or electricity, and was created by three smart women. I recommend it!"
--Gloria Steinem, activist and writer
"As we look around and see this troubling rise of violence, intolerance, and injustice, in our world, many people want to play a more active role in solving these problems. The biggest issue is most of us do not know how. Thankfully, these three brilliant and bad-ass women wrote the book we have been waiting for. Road Map for Revolutionaries is a powerful step by step guide that shows us how to move from outrage to action in ways that lead to sustainable impact and change. If you are ready to change the world right now, read this book and go get to work."
--Bobby Jones, CMO of PeaceFirst and author of Good is the New Cool
"What a necessary and timely project. I want to buy two more copies immediately to share with my two sons. It is awesome."
--Ricki Lake, talk show host, actor, and activist

Bursting with fruit-forward aromas of citrus with a hint of pine, this refreshingly bitter IPA is a welcome break from the flood of hazy New England-style IPAs.
This reimagining of a classic biere de miel adds cactus gunk to the traditional honey. Cracked pepper and Meyer lemon peel aromas from wild yeasts enhance the intense juiciness from the agave nectar, dragonfruit and prickly pear.
Double dry-hopped with American Strata and German Grundgeist, this pilsner has notes of passionfruit, young Sancerre, and yellow Sour Patch candies.
The Dude would surely have abided by this creamy stout with coffee, vanilla and notes of chocolate.
Here's a sampling of the best beers being released in the coming week around the nation.
All thanks to our releases expert Tucker Anders and Remo Remoquillo, creator of the header image.
Brewed with rye for a crisp, dry finish, our light Kolsch-style ale is an easy-drinking beer with just the right amount of complexity.
After late-hop and dry-hop additions of Amarillo, Citra and Mandarina, this IPA is aged on American oak and maple wood.
Spanish cedar, the same wood used to make cigar humidors, is added post-fermentation to this IPA to add a whole new dimension of flavor.
This barrel-aged brown ale has a mellow flavor profile with underlying complexity.

In January, Kate and Laura Mulleavy of fashion design company Rodarte scored a profile in the New Yorker by Amanda Fortini, a feat that took designer Karl Lagerfeld more decades of work to achieve than the sisters from Pasadena have lived, says the Wall Street Journal.
Rodarte is great because, as Fortini writes, it is where the beautiful meets the baroque:
Rodarte is great because the garments include a multitude of textiles and finicky ones, like tulle, organza, leather and lace), adornments (crystals, feathers, rosettes) and techniques (draping, pleating, dyeing).
Rodarte is great because the designers had no formal fashion training, learned basic sewing techniques from their mother and their creative vision is cinematic, inspired by horror movies and the work of Japanese director Yasujiro Ozu.
A recent feature on the Mulleavy sisters in RVCA ANP Quarterly sourced inspirations as diverse as the Space Shuttle, Frankenstein, Star Wars, burning Klu Klux Clan crucifixes, Stonehenge and seminal works of European art like Rachel Whiteread's House and Joseph Beuys' I Like America and America Likes Me.
In case your avant-garde funny-bone hasn't been tickled enough by now, the New Yorker reports a scene in the Rodarte studio of the designers setting fire to a piece of polyster fabric and collections in which all the clothing had been burned, stained, shredded, sandpapered or in some way "ruined".
And the article snoops a bulletin board in the designers' studio carrying images of paintings by Robert Rauschenberg, California condors, testing of the atomic bomb in the Nevada Desert and Degas' ballerina sculpture - a wistfulness in the foreground of much of the imaging of their work...
...and explicit in their latest collection:
Until March 14, Rodarte have an installation at the The Cooper Hewitt National Design Museum in New York - and if you are in the area, visit it.
But there's a moral in my tale (and it comes with a hat-tip to a comment made to me by Robert Hewison, a cultural historian and keen follower of the English art critic and social thinker John Ruskin).
There's a reawakening of romantic anti-capitalism in culture and politics just now. In the U.K., you can see it in protest by the establishment against a third runway at Heathrow Airport, government endorsement of co-operativism, a policy rush on 'mass localism' and civic organizations like the National Trust turning sections of its property over to food-growing.
Rodarte is romantic, born from the obsession of two sisters brought up among the redwood trees of a small town near Santa Cruz, California, to quote Fortini. They burn stuff, love the spikey and fierce and are committed to beauty - albeit one that retails up to $25,000 a piece.
The two trends are worlds apart. But together they say something.
Romance and anti-materialism is an aesthetic. It has tradition. It is optimistic, often creatively destructive - a brilliant antidote to an age of disappointment or light at the end of a post-apocalyptic tunnel.
But it can be expensive. No small part of the romance rests in the eccentric and the kinky. And if you work too hard to co-opt those values in to something consensual, you may kill the very spirit that you admire.

Professional Community for Car Dealers, Marketing, Advertising and Sales Leaders
Swapalease.com, the nation's largest car lease marketplace, analyzed four of today's most popular fuel-sippers against four of today's most popular large trucks/SUVs to see if low gas prices are impacting consumer demand. The company analyzed search and consideration data from 2013 against 2014, when gas prices fell continuously through the end of the year.
The analysis showed that some small cars remained in healthy demand, while others did not. The analysis showed the same for larger trucks and SUVs. "The fact that we're seeing an inconsistent pattern into the beginning of 2015 tells us that gas prices aren't having an across-the-board adverse effect on smaller cars and EV/hybrid vehicle demand," said Scot Hall, Executive Vice President of Swapalease.com. "Similarly, it also tells us that truck shoppers may not be flocking to every model just because gas prices are extremely low in many places today."
As an example, the Chevrolet Tahoe saw the largest year-over-year increase in search and consideration on the Swapalease.com marketplace at 52.5%, but the second-largest increase was the Chevrolet Volt at 50.8%.
Conversely, The Ford Expedition saw the largest drop in search and consideration YOY at -35.4%, but the second-largest drop was the Honda Fit at -25.6%.
Headquartered in Cincinnati, Ohio, Swapalease.com is the world's largest automotive lease marketplace and the pioneer in facilitating lease transfers online. More specifically Swapalease.com matches individuals who want to get out of their lease with people who are looking for short-term lease agreements. Prospective buyers can search the listings for the exact vehicle they want, and then register for a nominal fee, allowing them to use Swapalease.com's safe online system to contact the prospective seller and close the deal.

The F.E.A.R. series has been through a turbulent ride in its relatively short lifespan, changing publishers and developers, and an ugly battle over the franchise rights. Despite these headaches, F.E.A.R. is alive and well, figuratively speaking. The third installment from Day 1 Studios and Warner Bros., F.E.A.R. 3, introduces several new features to the franchise, arguably the most important one being the co-op campaign.
Day 1 put a great deal of emphasis on F.E.A.R. 3's co-op story mode during their live demonstration, playing the entire thing in co-op. Two players take control of Point Man and his brother, Plaxton Fettel, who also happens to be a ghost. Point Man has a similar skill set from the previous games, primarily firepower and bullet time. Being a ghost gives Fettel a wider array of skills such as telekinesis, stunning enemies, and the ability to posses people. That last ability can really come in handy during large scale battles. For instance, the developer put it to use by taking control of an enemy sniper across a long courtyard, then preceding to snipe the remaining soldiers from behind.
F.E.A.R. 3 will also include numerous features to entice players to replay the campaign such as a "generative AI system" as well as competitive scoring challenges. The new AI system will randomly assign enemy positions to keep multiple playthroughs from feeling the same. In addition, it will ideally help maintain the high level of tension F.E.A.R. strives to create. The co-op mode also encourages competition through score tallying and challenges which will keep track of each players stats each level.
All of this talk of co-op doesn't mean the singleplayer has been an afterthought. Both modes generally progress through the same story and levels, however, most of the traditional scares are more effective in singeplayer, when you don't have a friend around. Co-op does give players access to bonus areas that are only reachable while playing with Plaxton Fettel.
F.E.A.R. 3 seems to have added a great deal of features to increase the game's lasting appeal. The addition of co-op play with randomly generated enemies and competitive scoring should add considerable replay value to the campaign. In terms of the look and feel of the game, F.E.A.R. 3 stays faithful to the series stable combat mechanics and has enough varied, detailed environments to keep things fresh. Stay tuned for more on F.E.A.R. 3 as its release date approaches.
