The Series
Welcome to the second of three posts intended to help you get the most out of GovLoop's new leadership guide: 10 Traits of a Great Government Leader.
Each of these posts covers a different theme and, taken together, cover all ten traits in the leadership guide. Our intent is to provide you with some of the materials from our first ever multi-week online course to allow you to walk through them at your own pace. Each post includes:
- A few traits from the leadership guide we recommend you read

Flip Knife | Doppler Sapphire (Flip Sap) was added to the game on January 8, 2015, alongside the "Full Spectrum" update. The skin is available in all "Chroma" cases.
The blade of the knife is painted with metallic paints and adorned with a pattern of translucent wavy lines resembling smoke. The color scheme of the skin includes various shades of blue creating gradient transitions. The design of the skin resembles the texture of the sapphire. The handle remains unpainted.
Float Value of the skin ranges from 0.00 to 0.08, which makes Flip Knife | Doppler Sapphire available only in Factory New and Minimal Wear condition. At levels of wear close to the maximum, the knife has noticeable abrasions on the corner of the blade close to the handle.
The pattern index affects the texture overlay. Special or rare variations of the pattern are absent.
The quality of Flip Knife | Doppler Sapphire is Covert. The skin has a StatTrak option and is not the rarest but the most expensive phase in the "Flip Knife | Doppler" series.
"Doppler Black Pearl" is one of the rarest skins for M9 Bayonet and is highly valued by skin collectors. Due to a high price, M9 Bayonet | Gamma Doppler Black Pearl is rarely seen in the game.

SMA Collaborates With Tennet For Better Solar Power Feed-In Predictions
SMA Solar Technology AG (SMA) and the transmission grid operator TenneT have recently signed a contract for the provision of current performance data from PV systems. The goal is to better integrate solar energy into the utility grid. Using data supplied by SMA, TenneT can make more realistic, real-time projections of the level of fed-in solar energy in the TenneT control area and, in combination with meteorological data for the coming hours and days, make more accurate predictions. This means that the growing proportion of electric current from PV systems can be planned much more effectively and integrated into the utility grid. This partnership is a significant milestone in the digitalization of the electricity supply.
"Following the pioneering technological work involved in generating sufficient volumes of renewable energy cost-efficiently, the next step is the digitalization of the energy industry," said SMA Chief Executive Officer Pierre-Pascal Urbon. "The ability to provide accurate production and consumption data is a key element of the decentralized and renewable energy supply of the future. In this system, the data ensures that a safe, reliable and cost-effective electricity supply is available at all times. The partnership between SMA and TenneT is therefore an important step on the road toward a new energy world."
"With the rapidly growing share of renewable energies in power generation, decentralized and real-time data about the generation of green energy is becoming increasingly important," said Urban Keussen, Chairman of the Managing Board at TenneT TSO GmbH. "We can use this data to make much more reliable predictions about the feed-in of renewable energies. This helps us operate the utility grid reliably and economically, even with an increasing proportion of fluctuating green energy. The partnership between TenneT and SMA is the first of its kind in Germany. For the first time ever, a transmission grid operator can now receive solar power generation data directly. This partnership is therefore an important milestone in the digitalization of the energy industry."
With over 220,000 PV systems registered on the online Sunny Portal worldwide, SMA has a unique basis for reliably predicting photovoltaic power generation. More than 40,000 PV systems equipped with SMA inverters are installed in the TenneT control area alone. Of course, SMA always takes care to protect its customers when supplying data. For example, the aggregation of current measurement data for PV power generation is based on postal code areas, which is an effective means of preventing the identification of individual systems.
The increasingly decentralized and volatile power generated at voltage levels below extra-high voltage poses new challenges for those responsible for safe grid operations–particularly in regions with a high PV penetration level, such as TenneT's control area. Around 40% of the solar energy supply in Germany falls within the control area of the transmission grid operator, which includes Bavaria–one of Germany's largest producer states. TenneT therefore uses the data from SMA Energy Services to prepare region-specific projections and predictions for solar power, to market renewable energy, to reduce the normal energy demand and to improve bottleneck management. These measures not only increase system safety but, due to the grid charges, they also ultimately have a positive impact on electricity prices.

Preventing elder abuse
The abuse of elderly people happens in their own homes, or while living with family and in facilities responsible for their wellbeing. We must speak up when we suspect that an elderly person is being financially exploited, neglected, or harmed by their caregiver.
Our constitution protects the rights of all, especially the vulnerable, and this includes the elderly. In South Africa, 8.1% of the population is older than 60 years.
All of us deserve to be respected, to feel dignified and safe where we live. Find out how to spot the warning signs, know the risk factors, and how you can prevent and report instances of abuse.
What is elder abuse?
Elder abuse is the neglect or mistreatment of an older person, who can't or doesn't have the means to fend for themselves. This kind of mistreatment can take place in a person's private home or old age homes.
There are various forms of abuse and mistreatment, ranging from:
- physical abuse
- sexual abuse
- emotional abuse, and
- financial exploitation.
Intentionally or unintentionally neglecting to care for an elderly person is also abuse.
Taking and withholding a pensioners South African Social Security Agency (SASSA) card without their consent is illegal. Loan sharks are known to take the cards and give pensioners loans with very high interest rates that are impossible to repay. Some companies prey on the elderly by illegally deducting money from their pension. You can report any suspected fraudulent activities regarding pensions or grants on SASSA's toll-free number 0800 60 10 11 or 0800 701 701.
The act of forcing or convincing an elderly person to change their will or to persuade them to give power of attorney is also financial abuse.
What are the signs of elder abuse?
Signs of abuse may vary from physical, such as bruises, scratches, cuts, malnutrition, lack of medical care, and behavioural such as withdrawal, fear, and anxiety.
An important indication of abuse is based on what an older person says. Claims of abuse or mistreatment should be reported and investigated.
Elder self-neglect
A common form of elder abuse encountered by caregivers of older persons is self-neglect. When the person experiences physical or mental impairment or diminished capacity, they may no longer be able to care for themselves. Signs to look out for are:
- a lack of personal hygiene or cleanliness,
- dehydration,
- malnutrition,
- being underweight,
- living in dirty conditions, and
- unable to pay bills or manage medications.
Self-neglect may be a sign of depression, Alzheimer's, dementia, grief, or any other health issue. They may refuse to seek help due to denial, worried about losing their independence and feeling ashamed for needing outside help.
7 ways that you can make a difference in the lives of older people
1. Visit or call your elderly loved ones and invite them to family gatherings and other special occasions.
2. Older people have valuable skills and knowledge. Find out what talents and skills your older family members, friends,and community members have that they can share with you, your family, or the community. Examples of skills are knitting, baking, cooking, gardening, sewing, etc.
3. If you know of an elderly person who has a family member or a professional person serving as a caregiver, support this person by helping and making sure they get a break.
4. Contact your non-governmental organisations that support the elderly and offer your support in the form of donations, fundraising, or volunteering.
5. Volunteer your time and service to old aged homes or to a housebound elderly person.
6. Talk about elder abuse to your friends and family to create awareness so that we can bust the myths and stigmas about this kind of exploitation of the vulnerable.
7. Offer to take them to do shopping or run errands. If the person has problems with mobility, you can offer to do it for them.
What can I do to stop elder abuse?
Elder abuse is a crime in South Africa. The Department of Social Development works closely with NGOs to prevent elder abuse. If you suspect elder abuse, you can contact your nearest Social Development office.
There are non-governmental organisations that deal with the abuse of the elderly and whose mandate includes social work intervention services, counselling, awareness campaigns and initiatives. You can contact:

Weighing in at just 36 players, the 1935 National Chicle football set is quite possibly the most important football set ever manufactured. With first-year cards of virtually every key subject in the set, as well as the hobby's most valuable and treasured card – the legendary #34 Bronko Nagurski (featured in this auction), the set continues to grow in popularity, attracting both ardent football hobbyists and collectors of other sports who are dabbling in football for the first time.
Featuring colorful art deco designs that were typical of the time, the National Chicle football card artwork is similar to the other National Chicle cards of the day – the 1934-36 "Diamond Stars" baseball cards and also the 1933 "Sky Birds" cards. Despite being printed on heavy stock, high-grade examples are difficult to find, particularly in the super-scarce high number series. Evidence suggests that the scarcity of the high number series is based on those cards only being made available in the cities where the series' players played.
A quick examination of grading company population reports will reveal the difficulty in obtaining high quality examples of cards from this issue's high number series. Even midgrade examples are extraordinarily scarce. We are proud to offer a group of eight high number cards, including the incredible Nagurski, plus two cards from the first series (including the difficult #1 card, Dutch Clark).
These cards don't make themselves available every day, and it's an opportunity to obtain some incredibly difficult cards from one of the hobby's most important sets.

Community Centre for Refugees
A place of rest and life-giving, wholistic community among refugees in West Asia.
How does an individual, a family and a community begin to heal from trauma? What does it look like for people to flourish after profound suffering and displacement?
At present, there are more than four million registered displaced people living in our country in West Asia, primarily from Syria, Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan, and Somalia. While the local government has made significant efforts to provide for refugees needs, there are major gaps in efforts towards recovery, resilience, and the prevention of long-term and multigenerational manifestations of trauma.
In this context a local church is creating a life-giving community and a space of rest. A place for relationships. A place for hospitality. A place for practical expressions of love for those who have suffered so much. Its approach is based on current research and demonstrable needs identified through several years of ministering to refugees in the city.
Through the community centre, the church members aim to provide:
- Welcoming friendships – through being an open place for refugees; through building supportive and meaningful friendships with refugees
- Warm hospitality – through making our centre a place of welcome; through sharing tea and food together; through accepting offers of hospitality from refugees
- Emotional support – through creating spaces where people feel physically, emotionally, and culturally safe; through building volunteers' awareness of the impact of trauma; through practicing transparency, consistency, and predictability in programming;
- Skills development and self-determination – through small group-based activities which aim to offer meaningful skills as well as a place for social connection
- Practical support – through making available some material resources (e.g. second-hand clothes, groceries) to those with identified needs
"As God's dearly-loved and purchased people, we have been welcomed into a mutually-supportive, welcoming, and outward-facing Kingdom community," they say. "We believe that community forms the context for all ministry, including ministry among refugees. We invite people who are refugees into a loving, caring community in ways which dignify, include, connect, and empower them."
The UNHCR has identified churches as an important social element which can respond in welcome and assist refugees in the long, difficult work of integration. This church is well-positioned to be one such element of warmth, support, and Christian neighbour-love for refugees who are likely to become a lasting part of the city's social fabric.
Donations to this project will fund repairs and refurbishment of the centre property, to make it a physically safe and comfortable space. In the longer-term, they can fund:
- materials for small groups (e.g. art supplies for a women's art group, stationery for homework support, etc.),
- items to meet immediate needs for refugees (e.g. winter coats), and
- running costs of specific events (e.g. family camps).
Please join us in creating a place of life and hope.
All donations of $2 or more to this project are tax-deductible in Australia.

If you are a meeting professional, COVID-19 is affecting your industry in a way that none of us could have ever imagined. Social distancing restrictions put in place by government officials have made large meetings and conferences almost obsolete for the near future. You may be asking yourself what you can do to keep your job and industry afloat? As more and more companies begin to transition to working from home, virtual events and online conferences are becoming more popular. Online conferences and virtual events can consist of virtual keynotes, webinars, and online courses and can be live or pre-recorded. Up to this point, virtual conferences were only popular in the tech and digital marketing world. Now that in-person events are on an indefinite hold, many industries are turning to virtual conferences for their teams. While virtual may not feel like the best option, it actually has a lot of hidden perks that we rarely think about.
Everyone Has a Front Row Seat
There is a level of intimacy that a virtual event holds that in-person does not. Speakers are talking directly to the viewer from their homes or studios. Attendees are granted an opportunity to see the space where the speaker works and creates. If the speaker has an additional talent (ex. Phil Hansen, an artist), you may be granted an exclusive look at their current projects or work. A virtual speaker's words and ideas are inches from the viewer's eyes and ears. It becomes easier to focus on what the speaker is saying rather than getting distracted by what else may be happening in the room. This can help to humanize the speaker and make them more relatable. It is easier to relate to someone when it feels like they are talking to only you vs. when they're onstage and the hundreds of others they are speaking to are also visible to you.
More Opportunity to Have Your Questions Answered
Many speakers hold Q&As within their virtual presentations through various different online platforms and apps. While it is also common for speakers to hold Q&As at their in-person events, it is much easier to get to your question when you are sending it directly to the speaker. This is also a better option for those who may not be as extroverted and wouldn't typically ask a question in a crowded space. In addition, this can help to weed out any questions that may be inappropriate. Some speakers go as far as answering questions they didn't get to during the live event via email afterwards. There is less of an opportunity of this happening following an in-person event.
No Travel Required = Increased Attendance
You can watch virtual events from literally anywhere! Your home office, your kitchen, or even while lounging on your couch. Virtual events can be accessed from any device in any part of the world. It allows the speaker to address a wider audience. More people are likely to attend if they are able to watch on their iPad from their living room vs. a plane ride and weekend away from home. This can also be a more affordable option for companies who usually pay for their employees to travel to events.
In a world where a company's social and environmental responsibility is having an impact on their business, sustainability is important. Due to less travel and less energy used to keep a large event venue running (lights, heat/air) a virtual event will have a smaller carbon footprint. There is also no printing hundreds of brochures or hand-outs, you just email attendees all of the materials they may need to reference throughout the presentation. According to meetgreen.com, the typical conference attendee produces 4 pounds of garbage per day. If you take the number of attendees X the number of days X 4 it equals a whole lot of unnecessary waste! This also helps companies where the current climate crisis is important to their cause. Going virtual could be a great business decision for the environmentally conscious.
It is important to think about the long term effects that the Coronavirus will have on our industry. Even as social distancing restrictions begin to lift, will people want to travel on planes, stay in hotels, and/or attend a conference with hundreds of other people in very close proximity to each other? Event Professionals need to adapt to the idea that virtual may be here to stay for a while. While that may seem scary, it's not all bad! If we take a step back and look at the big picture, the pros to virtual events will become more and more apparent. While virtual may not feel like the best option, it actually has a lot of hidden perks that we rarely think about.

Current Landscape of Mental Health in Children and Adolescents in Northeastern, Brazil
The narratives foment themselves by a discourse rooted in the words of indecision, doubt, insecurity, powers and perils, pessimism and, above all, by the uncontrollable desire of escaping from the pain of being that bother them. The Family members constantly warn the listener or interpreter of the internal dissatisfaction that alert their children. To interpret and listen to the rhetoric of enchantment of the family is one of the effective means to treat and prevent the disease. In this case, the listening must be unreservedly committed, because it transcends the family boundaries, passing to need support and unconditional zeal of the clinical apparatus.

The time is near.......
It's April 17th this year. The 15th is a Sunday and Monday is 'Emancipation Day". A holiday I have never even heard of, but DC celebrates it, so you get two extra days to get those forms in.
I've been temping in a accountant's office this year......it's been busy and it's getting out of hand now. LOL
Just three more weeks.....18-24 more work days..........I. Am. Ready.
Oh, my favorite thing: when people come into the office: look you straight in the eye, knowing they have never set eyes on your before, and say, "I'm here to pick up my taxes." (blink, blink.the sound of crickets chirping is in the air) Like I know their name. It's just tooooooo funny.
Now, I have to make time to actually do my own taxes. hahahaha Lame, right?

* Sigh *
It's feels like an eternity....my machine and I have been apart too long!
Well, tonight that changed! A little, but a little is better than nothing....... I finished the edges of a fleece blankie. Don't know who will get it, but I can now cross it off my list!
I started making this cute little grocery bag tonight. I knew with the time I allotted myself that I wouldn't get to finish it, but tomorrow I intend to! My friend Karen wrote a little something about this bag on her blog...check it out!
My fabrics: 3 from the Long Live Vintage line by AdornIt. L-O-V-E . I wish fabric lines ran a little longer than 6 months...especially ones I think are awesome sauce. The inside is just some heavy duty yellow I had in the closet. It's almost sinful to cut into this fabric.....almost!! :-)
Since joining the workforce, my sewing time has been cut way back. Part of it is time management, part of it is feeling like I have to do chores first...to completion, before I let myself sew.
The last few evenings, I've been hangin' with the hubs. I did not miss my sewing machine.
My blog life has suffered a bit too. I didn't think I would miss it, but I really do!
What's up with y'all?

FNSI: Sometimes, you must bow down to the ridiculous!!
So I did:
Sooooooo, I turned them into pincushions with some scraps of fabric, stuffing and hot glue I couldn't not, ya know!
I smile every time I look at them! Can't wait to be the Easter Bunny for a couple of my sewing buds.
It's still early, what else can I do. Hopefully there will be a part deux!

Catch up Time
Wow, my life is packed full lately. birthdays, baby showers, ladies' events, cooking and working. Not as much time for being creative as I'd like.....but really, how many of us have that? Those of you that get to be creative for a paycheck.....:-P~~~~~ (in the most loving way possible, of course)
Diaper cake.
I used the burp cloths as the frosting and the topper is Little Miss Isabella's first trick or treat bag and some more burpies....you can never have enough of those....ever!!
The Dot made some funfetti cupcakes. I provided the stuff, she provided the labor.
They were pretty and pretty tasty!
On the horizon:
I really am going to make some clothes this summer.
I feel like being a dress girl again. Love me some capris, but it's time for an update. Both dresses have pockets and when done in a nice cotton or lightweight denim, they will be totally casual.
LOVE the green jacket......no big collar....'nuff said
And the little girl jumper.....so many options and such an easy pattern and since I have 8 million buttons (slight exaggeration) I gotta have some plans to use them other than to create my own button box (yes, I am doing that too)
Spent the last of my b-day money on a kitchen scale. Pretty basic, but more than adequate.
If I need some fancy schmancy measurements, the hubs has one that is scary that I can use.
Ahhhhh, time to get off my booty and avoid the inevitable....do the dang taxes. Oy and vay.
What's up with y'all?

To answer this question, we'd like to share with you the two ways to sell your prints on The Bazaar:
1) For 'custom products' –– You will be in charge of shipping the prints directly to the buyers. For this product type, we recommend the prices you indicate include all handling and shipping fees, because when the buyers check out, they'd only pay the nett price you've specified. (For example, if you ship to only two countries such as US and UK, we recommend you list two products -- ARTWORK NAME to USA for $PRICE A, ARTWORK NAME to UK for $PRICE B.) For this, you are able to provide other extras such as framing etc.
For this category of products, color proofing will be done on your end as you will be doing the shipping directly from your end.
2) Alternatively, you can sell them as 'prints' –– The Bazaar will ship the prints directly to the buyer. You can upload the file, specify the dimensions, choose the paper type, and our system will calculate the printing and paper costs on top of the price you specified. (for example, if you specify $100, and the printing + paper based on your specified dimensions costs $25, the total cost will be $125 that appears on the website. When an order comes in, it will printed in a location closest to the buyer, and rolled up in a tube, and we'd ship it out to the buyer.
If color proof is required, you can check the option 'Color Proof is required ' when creating the product listing. You will then need to send us the proof (to the address indicated on that page) so we can match it during printing and before the print is being shipped out. If this option is not checked, we'd then continue to print as per the profile embedded within the artwork that you've uploaded.

For beginner and veteran instructors alike, new ideas about teaching can be just the nudge to change a hum-drum term into one of the best ever.
A college professor, former marketing executive, and K-12 teacher, Norman Eng offers easy changes to incorporate into the classroom to help students better absorb college material in Teaching College: The Ultimate Guide to Lecturing, Presenting, and Engaging Students. Below are some of his key points.
1. Create a student avatar. With his background in marketing, Eng calls for instructors to create an avatar (in web design called a persona) or a humanized version of your typical student. Use what you know about your students' demographic and psychographic backgrounds to create an embodiment of your learner. Include an actual photo and give the avatar a name. Create a narrative for the generalized version of your student.
Armand is a 19-year-old first generation college student who holds down two jobs in addition to carrying a full load of classes. He struggles to get to class but is committed to completing his accounting degree so he can join his uncle's business. He is reticent to ask for help and struggles with some writing assignments.
Having an avatar reminds instructors to always address the needs and constraints facing their students and address those issues in when teaching.
2. Use name cards. Ask students to write their names on a 5X8 index card folded in half lengthwise. Eng says this tactic not only helps instructors learn names (or at least call on students using their names) but also helps students communicate more with one another.
3. Insist on participation. It's easy to only call on students who raise their hands, but it's usually the same handful who do so. To reach the entire class, tell students you have a "no opt out" policy and will expect everyone to be ready to participate. This helps students remain focused and accountable.
4. Require reading responses. Eng uses a strategy called "questions, quotations, and comments" (QQC) to encourage completing readings. He asks students to respond to readings informally by jotting down a question about the reading, an interesting quotation, or comment/reaction. Then, to hold students accountable, he suggests that instructors follow up in every class session by taking a few minutes to ask randomly picked students about the reading. Eng collects the written brief response entries several times during the term and assigns them a grade.
5. Start class with an activity, not a lecture. If the day's lesson is about writing bad news messages, begin the session by asking students if any of them received rejection letters to colleges they applied to. Then follow up with a discussion of how those rejection letters were composed. End with the lecture about how and why bad news messages are written the way they are.
It's still early enough in the new academic year to add these simple steps to your teaching. Tell us how it works out, or share your own teaching tips and tricks to improve rapport and engagement!

I am what is known as a trumpet mom.
Among the other things I do in the course of a week, I drive my youngest son to a trumpet lesson that is roughly 45 minutes in duration, and while my son's trumpet teacher attempts to teach my son the basic skills required to play the trumpet with some degree of competence, I wait.
As I wait, I learn snippets of music theory (particularly as it pertains to the trumpet) and work on whatever crochet project it is that has my attention.
To do this, I sit in a particular corner, in a particular chair with two small lamps to illuminate my work.
In addition to providing me with the necessary illumination to do my work, the rays of the light of the lamps reach a shelf of books that falls within my line of vision, and on those shelves are the first two volumes of Greystone's Creative Hands, a twenty-two volume series published in 1975 and edited by Beverly Hilton. With little effort, I can reach those volumes, and this past Thursday, that is exactly what I did while I waited during the trumpet lesson.
The volume nearest to me and easiest to remove from the shelf was volume two, so that is where I started. While there were several projects that caught my interest, the one that ultimately grabbed my attention and prompted me to reach for a hook (my 4.5 mm in this case) and scavenge from whatever yarns I had on me, was a granny inspired circular pattern called a Wagon Wheel.
Using what colors I had available (Red Heart Super Saver candy print and baby pink) I set to work.
The first thing I made (using the candy print) was the small circle seen here:
After that, I alternated rounds of candy print with baby pink to create the large circle:
and while I would need to make four more large circles to show how the two motifs are combined to form an afghan, you can see how the two pieces look when placed adjacent to each other:
In addition to the two circles shown here, there are directions for a continued expansion of the circle that results in an engaging and fun pillow cover.
As for the book, the crochet information despite being nearly four decades old has an approach to the craft that is both fresh and timeless. If I come across any one (or more) of the twenty-two volumes that comprise this series the next time I am in a used bookstore, I will definitely pick it (them) up.

Agriculture Natural KeBio reconcile human needs with those of nature
We use techniques and traditions harmoniously combining human needs with those of nature through the application of mechanisms of production that nature has always used. We maintain minimum working the soil with shallow disking and seeding by hand.
Permaculture, agriculture permanent
We apply the principles and methods of the permanent that is continuous in time, because balanced and inexhaustible, that reconstitutes itself the vital energy used during production. The result is an inexhaustible environment, full of life energy that produces food "alive."
Agriculture synergistic
Staff KeBio apply the techniques of Synergistic: the plants are graded in order to enrich themselves and defend each other, using the mechanisms of self-defense and self fertility of nature. The plants through their organic residues and their chemical activity, rifertilizzano the ground, creating humus, in synergy with the natural activity of fungi, earthworms and other microorganisms. The simultaneous cultivation of different plants and herbs and flowers, creating a natural defense against attacks from parasites, as each of the other species is unwelcome pests. In addition, it restores the natural landscape, creating a favorable environment for predators of pests and insects.
Minimum tillage
The "traditional" techniques for the preparation of the seedbed (such as deep plowing) deplete the soil and expose it to the most pests, the washing action of rain and erosion weathering. Also require a greater number of passages of the machines on the ground worsening the structure and increasing the fuel consumption. We work with the soil surface repairs much more: we do with the disking harrow harrow directly on the hard ground to a depth of 5-15 cm from the surface; This allows you to have only a partial reversal of the land, maintaining its structure, which improves the flow of water and air and prevents compaction of the lower areas, and a greater content of organic matter in depth.

Keep it safe
'bed sharing can be safe...check out the following guidelines '
Never leave an infant or toddler unattended on an adult bed
. Co-Sleeping or family bed sharing consists of an adult & a child. Babies can roll off of beds (even when using a co-sleeping device) can become tangled in blankets, or otherwise need the attention of an adult. We recommend babies not be left unattended in the early months.
Never sleep with your baby on a water bed or on a couch
. Water beds and couches are associated with suffocation of babies.
Avoid adding railings or putting furniture next to the side of your bed
. Baby could become lodged next to railing or furniture and suffocate
Avoid pushing your bed against a wal
l. Baby could also be lodged between the bed and wall causing suffocation.
Never let another sibling sleep next to your baby
. Children sleep deeply and may roll over on baby. Baby is best placed next to Mom or Dad only.
Never sleep next to your baby if you are intoxicated or have been using drugs
, are taking medications, are overly tired or in any other way feel that your ability to be aroused could be affected.
It is not recommended that you bed share if are currently smoking. This has been associated with higher incidence of S.I.D.S.
Use a firm mattress
for bed sharing. Soft mattresses can allow baby to accidentally roll over causing suffocation.
Make sure all bedding fits snuggly
on the mattress. Fitted sheets that come loose could cover baby's face.
Make sure mattress is flush against head and footboards
. If there are any gaps baby could become lodged between head or footboard and mattress and cause suffocation.
Always place baby to sleep on her back
. This has been shown to reduce the risk of S.I.D.S.
Avoid over dressing
your baby. Overheating is also associated with an increased risk of S.I.D.S.
Avoid strings or ties
on night clothes or blankets. These could cause strangulation. Be sure to remove toys or other objects from bed before sleep time, to avoid suffocation.
If you have long hair tie it in a pony tai
l or braid it. Long hair could cause suffocation or strangulation.

Fans of Project Runway will enjoy this inside look at the seamy side of the fashion industry. Priyanka Chopra (a former Miss World herself) plays Meghna, a small-town girl who dreams of becoming a supermodel. Her morals are put to the test as her star rises; quaintly, she considers wine and cigarettes gateway drugs. Apart from the stereotypical treatment of gay characters, Fashion has continuity, believable performances and enough content for a TV mini-series.

It is rare that press release hyperbole is actually a good barometer of a car's merit. But when Alfa says the star of the Frankfurt show will be the new GIULIA, they spoke the truth.
This ultra-high-performance sedan is the halo launch model for Alfa's new BMW-fighter. With size between the M3 and M5, the Giulia Quadrifolio packs 510 horsepower and a sprint to 60-mph of just 3.8-seconds.
With that ultra exclusive variant leading the range, the prices are almost as high as the performance benchmarks.
Available to reserve now, the order books in Europe open in late December with pricing from Euro 79,000. At direct exchange rates, that comes to just under $90k in US dollars. So quite a formidable total, and one that overlaps heavily with the Maserati Ghibli.
How about this fine design, platform and sexy four-door silhouette in a less-power guise? With BMW clearly the objective bulls-eye, will the base Giulia;s come in at half the $60k M3 base price — like the BMW 320i does with a stripped-out $33k base price?
Not exactly. The Giulia in US form is likely to run a smaller turbo six with pricing in the high $40k region to start. Volumes will be low, and glamour high for all trimlines.
Based on previous timetables for US arrival of Alfa Romeo models, we would not expect this new Giulia to make it stateside until August of 2016 at the earliest, as a 2017 model-year.
2017 Alfa Romeo GIULIA Quadrifoglio
- Absolute star will be the new Giulia Quadrifoglio, the perfect blend of the new Alfa Romeo paradigm and ultimate expression of 'la meccanica delle emozioni' concept.
- Orders for Giulia Quadrifoglio will open during the last quarter 2015: the car will be sold in Italy for about 79,000 Euro.
- The lightest, best performing and exclusive version of Giulia Quadrifoglio can be booked online starting from the Frankfurt Motor Show.
- Focus will also be on the fascinating Alfa Romeo 4C, Coupé and Spider versions, the modern icon which represents the racing spirit inherent in Alfa Romeo's DNA.
- On show, a 1964 Giulia T.I. Super sporting the legendary green four-leaf clover emblem which since 1923 has identified the highest performing Alfa Romeo models.
- The new stand will be making its debut in Frankfurt. It is developed around the boldest symbols which characterise Alfa Romeo, like the refreshed logo which preserves the original shape and style elements that made it famous.
Alfa Romeo is returning to the Frankfurt Motor Show with a totally renewed stand characterised by a striking appearance and an unquestionably premium appeal. Star of the area will be the new top-of-the range Giulia, sporting the legendary Quadrifoglio badge, which represents the new Alfa Romeo paradigm and is ultimate expression of 'la meccanica delle emozioni' concept.
The price of Giulia Quadrifoglio is revealed in Frankfurt for the first time. The sportier version dedicated to the first customers will be available for orders on the website on the days after the show for about 95,000 Euro in Italy. This version will be packed with the sportiest, most exclusive equipment available. It will be the lightest, best performing Giulia of all and will fit carbon ceramic brake discs and ultra-light carbon fibre sporty seats.
Spotlights will also be trained on the fascinating Alfa Romeo 4C, Coupé and Spider versions, the modern icon which represents the racing spirit inherent in Alfa Romeo's DNA: outstanding performance and engineering excellence for securing the best driving pleasure with stunning looks. By their side, a classic 1964 Giulia T.I. Super sporting the legendary green four-leaf clover emblem which since 1923 has identified the highest performing Alfa Romeo models.
The German motorshow will be the ideal opportunity to celebrate Alfa Romeo's 105 years of activity, an extraordinary anniversary shared with a small number of vehicle manufacturers. A number which becomes even smaller when comparing the commercial successes and racing victories that the brand has earned around the world. For over one century, Alfa Romeos have been dedicated to who expects their car to transcend the concept of 'useful means of transport' and cross over to that of 'real emotions'.
The new Alfa Romeo stand in Frankfurt, designed and built by architects 'Navone e Associati', is developed around selected 'signs' which are characteristic of the century-old brand and reminiscent of the historical plant in Arese. For instance, a huge immersive all-LED screen is over 80 metres long and towers over the exhibition area. It expresses the brand's drive for innovation and is enclosed in a frame which evokes the idea of a racing track, the ground of choice for sampling the performance of all Alfa Romeos today as yesterday.
A further detail of the new stand is the grille pattern stretched across the walls and floor to convey the idea of racing and to provide structure to the entire platform. Similarly, the laminated pillars and the walls, combined with glass, enhance the high-quality concept inherent in Alfa Romeo's DNA.
The new course of the brand is perfectly expressed by the refreshed Alfa Romeo badge which stands out over the area. Modernised on the outside by Robilant Associati, the distinctive shape and style elements of the emblem which are known and admired worldwide have remained untouched. Not by chance, only who has a great past can face the challenges of the future.
Furthermore, an 'augmented reality' station will be set up to present the most innovative features of the new Giulia more in detail, while in another Magneti Marelli corner visitors can discover the potentials of the car's new infotainment system, connectivity with electronic devices, navigator, advanced voice controls, media player, entertainment and vehicle parameter settings on the innovative TFT 8.8″ display integrated in the dashboard.
Visitors to the Motor Show will be invited to experience the outstanding sound quality of Harman Kardon at the Alfa Romeo stand. Harman will be displaying a number of Harman Kardon sound systems for homes and cars. Qualified personnel will be showing visitors about the Harman Kardon sound system fitted on the new Alfa Romeo Giulia.
A selection of merchandising and exclusive Alfa Romeo accessories made in collaboration with Mopar, the reference brand for services, Customer Care, genuine spare parts and accessories for FCA, will be presented in a dedicated area of the stand.
Finally, through brochures and dedicated material at the stand, visitors can learn more about the products of FCA Bank, a financing company specialised in the automotive sector. The company operates on the main European markets and in Germany with FCA Bank Deutschland GmbH with a sole mission: to support automotive sales for all FCA brands by offering innovative financial products complete with added-value services dedicated to the dealer network, private customers and companies.
Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio
Several examples of Alfa Romeo Giulia will be on show in Frankfurt, all sporting the Quadrifoglio badge to indicate their premium nature with five liveries – Competizione Red, Trofeo White, Vulcano Black, Vesuvio Grey and Montecarlo Blue – combined with leather and Alcantara interiors.
The cars on display are equipped with the powerful 510 HP six-cylinder 2.9 turbo petrol engine, inspired by Ferrari technology and expertise, which becomes the brand's new benchmark. With such a powerful engine, the Giulia Quadrifoglio ensures exhilarating performance levels: top speed of 307 km/h, it accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in just 3.9 seconds and delivers a peak torque of 600 Nm. Outstanding performance levels, in an environmentally-friendly way as ever: not by chance, Giulia ranks best in class also in terms of emission levels, with 198 grams of CO2 per kilometre. For the Giulia, Alfa Romeo engineers have focused particularly on safety features: the car is designed to brake from 100 km/h to 0 in less than 32 metres.
Premium features and equipment, even more enhanced in the exclusive version reserved for the first customers, packed with all the sportiest and best performing details available on the range. The lightest, sportiest Giulia with carbon ceramic brake discs and Sparco ultra-light carbon seats is perfect also on the racing track. This version will be the most evolved expression of the new Giulia Quadrifoglio and will be available for booking on the days after the Frankfurt Motor Show for about 95,000 Euro in Italy.
Sales of the new Giulia Quadrifoglio for a price of about 79,000 Euro in Italy will kick off during the last quarter of the year.
The genuine Alfa Romeo performance is outfitted like a tailor-made garment with a distinctive design which expresses three particular features of Italian style: sense of proportions, simplicity and surface quality finish. The entire 'creation' pivots around the driver and the promise of exhilarating driving experiences with sensitive steering, responsive acceleration and prompt shifting and braking. Additionally, choosing rear or four-wheel drive is more than just a tribute to the most authentic roots of the Alfa Romeo legend: it is also a technical solution which offers high performance and astounding fun.
A further particularity of the model is the perfect 50/50 weight distribution across the two axles, the sophisticated suspension system (a further Alfa Romeo exclusive) and the most direct steering on the market. The unique, exclusive technical solutions includes Torque Vectoring for outstanding stability control, Integrated Brake System for considerably reducing braking distance and Active Aero Splitter for active high-speed downforce management.
Finally, the Alfa Romeo Giulia combines extraordinary engine performance and ample use of ultralight materials, like carbon fibre, aluminium, aluminium composite and plastic, to obtain the best weight-to-power ratio (lower than 3), enabling it to achieve a dry weight of just 1,524 kg.
At a motor show for the first time ever, the new Giulia was introduced in a world preview on June 24 – on the day of the brand 105th anniversary- with a moving performance by maestro Andrea Bocelli. There could have been no better venue for this splendid event within the event than the new Alfa Romeo Museum in Arese. The brand's 'home' reopened its doors to the general public on June 30. The renovated facility hosts Alfa Romeo's most famous and innovative creations. These cars have written some of the most important pages in automotive history and are sources of inspiration for young Alfa Romeo designers and engineers still today.
Five are the elements which made Alfa Romeo one of the world's most desirable automotive brands: distinctive Italian design, state-of-the-art, innovative engines, perfect 50/50 weight distribution, unique technical solutions and the best weight-to-power ratio. These are the indispensable ingredients for creating an Alfa Romeo and which create the 'meccanica delle emozioni' (or the 'the mechanics of emotions' in English). This distinctive pay-off will be publicised worldwide in Italian only to pay homage to the homeland where the legend was born over one century ago. Still today, the brand carries Italian-made pride on everyday roads, on the most famous race tracks and in the hearts of millions of enthusiasts.
Distinctive Italian design
An Alfa Romeo springs from the perfect balance of heritage, speed and beauty making it the highest expression of Italian style in the automotive world. The new Giulia is no exception because it encapsulates three particularities of Italian design: sense of proportions, simplicity and care for surface quality. This is the 'skin' that Alfa Romeo stylists have modelled with painstaking care on the mechanical parts.
In particular, the proportions are based on the technical architecture of the entire car: for Alfa Romeo the key elements were the 50/50 weight balance and rear wheel drive. In order to balance the weights perfectly, the engine and the mechanical parts are arranged between the two axles. This is why the Giulia has very short overhangs, a long bonnet and front wings, a retracted passenger compartment 'settled' on the drive wheels and muscular rear wings which visually mark the point where power is unleashed onto the road. All this translates into a very generous wheelbase – the longest in its category – contained in one of the most compact bodies. These proportions draw the dynamic shape of an ellipsis in plan view. Furthermore, the rounded angles and the enveloping pillars convey momentum to the car creating a 'drop-shaped' profile which is reminiscent of the Giulietta Sprint, one of the most beautiful cars ever made.
A second aspect of the Italian style is 'simplicity' which enshrouds what is in fact one of the most complex creative processes in industry: designing a car. It is up to style to conceal the long, complex work behind a simple, natural line which enhances elegant shapes and sophisticated Italian taste. This approach permeates the entire history of Alfa Romeo expressed by means of clean, streaming streaks as always. For this reason, the new Alfa Romeo boasts a strong identity drawn in few simple strokes: a line gouged along the sides which marks the doors and envelops the handles and, naturally, the legendary trefoil nose, possibly the most famous, recognisable style element in automotive history.
Finally, Italian style is characterised by high quality surface finish which means creating rich, harmonious reflections across the volumes. The end result is the new Giulia, a statuesque shape reminiscent of a big cat just about to spring. The same inspiration is found inside the car. Everything is clean, essential and pivots around the driver, like the controls grouped on the small, direct steering wheel designed to adapt to all driving styles. And more. The driver's position was 'cut' as a fabric with a diagonal tunnel, a slightly undulated dashboard and cleverly oriented instruments which convey the impression of a tailor-made suit with hand-crafted care and premium materials: carbon fibre, wood and fabrics are chosen for their visual and tactile pleasantness and assembled to make the human touch visible.
Not last, a special mention goes to front and rear light clusters of the Giulia made by Magneti Marelli in collaboration with Alfa Romeo. Compendium of style excellence and technology, the LED rear light clusters enhance the rear end in a uniquely distinctive manner. Similarly, design and ergonomics characterise the headlights implementing Xenon technology with 35W module, capable of increasing the light flux and light diffusion with energy saving and night visibility which increases by 200% with respect to normal halogen headlights. Furthermore, they guarantee more safety because an obstacle can be seen at least one second earlier, which is equal to an advantage of 28 metres of braking distance when travelling at 50 km/h. Furthermore, the headlights implement AFS technology while the daylight running lights (DRL), cornering light, side lights and direction indicators use LED technology for better fuel efficiency and maximum performance.
State-of-the-art, innovative engines
State-of-the-art, innovative engines are another characterising element of a genuine Alfa Romeo. For this reason, a unique engine in terms of technology and performance, destined to become the new benchmark of the brand, has been created for the Quadrifoglio version.
The six-cylinder turbo petrol tuned by engineers with Ferrari background delivers 510 HP and a torque in excess of 600 Nm for exhilarating performance: for instance, it accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in only 3.9 seconds, while its top speed is 307 km/h.
Among other things, although the horsepower and torque values are exceptional, the unprecedented engine is also best in class in terms of emission levels (198 g/km of CO2) and it is surprisingly cheap to run, thanks to the electronically-controlled cylinder disabling system. Clearly, like all next-generation engines, whether petrol or diesel, this 6-cylinder is entirely made of aluminium, to minimise the car's absolute weight, especially on the front axle, for a genuine Alfa Romeo roar.
Perfect weight distribution
A peculiarity of the new Giulia is the astute management of weights and materials to obtain a perfect 50/50 distribution across the two axles. This is fundamental to ensure the typical Alfa Romeo driving satisfaction which was reached by tweaking the layout and arranging the heavier elements in the most central position possible.
The suspensions are as essential for ride optimisation as weight distribution. In particular, a multi link solution ensuring top performance, driving pleasure and comfort have been chosen for the rear axle. On the front, instead, a new double track control arm suspension with semi-virtual steering axis was developed to optimise the filtering effect and guarantee rapid, accurate steering. This Alfa Romeo exclusive keeps the constant caster trail on corners and can tackle high lateral accelerations as a result of the always perfect footprint. In any situation and at all speeds, driving Alfa Romeo Giulia with the most direct steering ratio on the market is natural and instinctive.
Innovative, exclusive technical solutions
As a further expression of the Alfa Romeo engineering culture, the design, the build and the choice of materials of the chassis and the suspensions are always perfect. As a consequence, it was decided that electronics should only be used to make the driving experience guaranteed by excellent basic mechanics even more exhilarating.
This is demonstrated by the exclusive technical solutions present on the new car, like Torque Vectoring with a twin clutch to allow the rear differential to control the torque delivery to each wheel separately. In this manner, power transmission to the road is improved also in low grip conditions. So, the driving is safe and fun without ever having running up against an invasive stability control system. The Integrated Brake System (IBS) – the innovative electromechanical system which combines stability control and a traditional servo brake for instantaneous brake response and consequent record-breaking stopping distances in addition to the all-important weight optimisation, pedal vibration reduction and brakes performances – is being introduced on the new Alfa Romeo.
Together with an excellent Cx, a perfect balance of forces on corners and downforce behaviour, the new model has Active Aero Splitter, a front system which actively manages downforce for higher performance and better grip even at fast speed. The new Alfa Romeo Giulia also fits a renewed Alfa DNA Pro which modifies the car's dynamic behaviour according to the driver's selection: Dynamic, Natural, Advanced Efficiency (energy efficiency mode implemented for the first time on an Alfa Romeo) and naturally Race (on high performance versions).
All these state-of-the-art systems are governed by the Chassis Domain Control (CDC) – a technology developed jointly with Magneti Marelli – which acts like the car's 'brains' and coordinates all the onboard electronics. The system manages the action of the various features – such as the renewed DNA Pro selector, the Torque Vectoring, the Active Aero Splitter, the active suspensions and the ESC – and assigns specific tasks of optimising performance and driving pleasure to each one. More in detail, the CDC adapts the ride in real time making the DNA Pro mappings dynamic according to acceleration and rotation data detected by the sensors. Critical solutions are prevented and managed by informing the specific control units involved in the electronic system of the car in advance: chassis, powertrain, suspensions, braking system, steering, power steering and differential on curves.
The passenger compartment of the new car offers the best in terms of quality, safety, equipment and comfort with a specific, profoundly Alfa Romeo style element: the centrality of the driver.
Not by chance, all the main controls, including the start button, are incorporated in the steering wheel as on a Formula 1 car, while the human-machine interface consists of two simple, user-friendly knobs for adjusting the Alfa DNA Pro selector and the Connect 3D Nav infotainment system.
The Connect 3D Nav of Alfa Romeo Giulia – developed with Magneti Marelli – offers a sophisticated series of features and functions, including a next-generation HMI human-machine interface. The system is mostly controlled by means of the Rotary Pad and by using the TFT 8.8 inch display integrated in the dashboard. The Rotary Pad offers an advanced voice recognition system and a gesture recognition system, which allows to interact with the system simply by moving the fingers on the pad. Connect 3D Nav also allows full connectivity with all mobile devices (mobile phones, smartphones, tablets with Apple iOS and Android operating systems). In addition to allowing phone calls using the Bluetooth connection in hands-free mode, the infotainment system plays audio contents from USB device and smartphone by means of Bluetooth technology, in addition to managing the DAB digital radio and the Hi-Fi digital audio. Finally, the system implements navigation functions with high-resolution 3D maps. The system is quick to calculate routes and can be used even if the GPS signal is missing by exploiting Dead Reckoning technology. It also allows to update the TomTom maps via USB and view driving system information.
Finally, the sophisticated Harman Kardon Sound Theatre system, which satisfies the desire for superior, detail-rich audio output, is debuting on Alfa Romeo Giulia. The heart of the system is a 12-channel class D amplifier which secures high performance but is compact at the same time. The amplifier distributes clear sound through a system of 14 speakers inside the car for superior listening quality. Logic 7® technology is used to obtain a surround effect from 5.1 different high-resolution sources and harmoniously uniform stereo playback. With this sound system, occupants can experience the premium quality for which Harman Kardon is famed.
The best weight-to-power ratio
To obtain an excellent weight-to-power ratio (remarkably lower than 3), the Alfa Romeo Giulia combines extraordinary engine performance and ample use of ultralight materials throughout. For example, carbon fibre was chosen for the propeller shaft, the bonnet and the roof and aluminium was picked for the engine, the brakes, the suspensions (including front domes and front and rear frames), in addition to many other body components, such as the doors and the wings. Furthermore, the rear crossmember is made of aluminium composite and plastic. An unladen weight of 1,524 kg for the new model has therefore been achieved.
In order to decrease the total weight, the braking system was tweaked using aluminium elements and carbon ceramic discs and the seats have a carbon fibre structural frame. Despite all this weight optimisation, the car boasts the best torsional rigidity in its class to guarantee quality over time, acoustic comfort and handling even in conditions of extreme stress.

First Cliff Walk by Tissot
On the lookout platform near the Bergrestaurant terrace, you can have a unique view of this magnificent mountain landscape. The terrace rises 45 metres out into the void above the valley below. Not only is the view into the valley beautiful, so is the view of the mountainside and the rocks with their layers and outcrops are home to the alpine birdlife.
First View Vantage Point
NEW for 2023
Feel like you are on top of the world! A short walk leads from the mountain station to a metal building in the shape of a windmill. Each of the nine 'rotor blades' are offset in height and focus on a particular section of the alpine ring: from the highest peaks of the Bernese Oberland to the world-famous Eiger North Face and the other mountains around Grindelwald.
Flowers & healing herbs
Many wild flowers, alpine plants and healing herbs line the hiking trails and are simply wonderful to see. There are at least 100 different species which flourish along the route from First via Waldspitz down to Bort. Anyone who wants to learn more about alpine flora can join the guided hike along the Healing Herbs Trail. The expert guide will let you in on a few secrets....such as which herbs make the best alpine tea or which plants have a natural medicinal effect. Tours run from mid June until the end of September.
The First Flyer & First Glider
The First Flyer is an 800m long steel cable zip wire, up to 50m above the ground, with speeds of up to 84km per hour! This ride is definitely for thrill seekers. The Flyer takes you from First down to the middle station of Schrekfeld. You are safely strapped into a seat with well constructed harnesses. Up to four people can ride down separately but simultaneously on the gigantic zip lines.
For a bird's eye view of the mountains, try the new First Glider - glide in a horizontal position under an Eagle's wings at around 70km per hour over an 800 metre descent! These attractions operate year round apart from a short break in April and November.
Another adventure to enjoy here is the First Bagjump - a leap from a height of 4-6 metres onto a 15x15 metre air cushion to ensure a sure landing. Available June-October according to weather conditions.
Bort Scooter Bike Adventure
The 'Trottibikes' are great fun for all the family. Bikes and helmets can be hired from the bottom station and the cableway stops at Bort middle station, from where you can race your friends and family back down to Grindelwald. At Bort you will also find a children's playground with a mountain restaurant, slides, sand pits and water games. Open May until October.
There are several hiking routes possible from First and from the Bachalpsee with its picture postcard views. One particularly recommended route is from the First over to the Grosse Scheidegg and from there take a PostBus back down to Grindelwald or to Meiringen, stopping off to visit the Aareschlucht on the way.
The Bachalpsee
The Bachalpsee is situated a little way above the First mountain station. It is reached on foot and takes approximately 45 minutes. On a clear day the striking Shreckhorn is perfectly mirrored in the clear blue waters. The walk up to the lake is suitable for all ages and there are BBQ areas with supplies of wood for a spot of lunch beside the lake. The roundtrip walk takes around 1hr 40mins.
The valley station of the First cable car is in the upper part of Grindelwald village centre.
You can travel to Grindelwald by train from Lauterbrunnen. It is also very easily accessible from Interlaken, Wengen, Mürren and the lakeside resorts.
Please check before travel for maintenance closures.
