New Products on Tap from Hershey Co. in 2014
Candy maker reports 5% U.S. sales growth, 0.7 points market-share gain
HERSHEY, Pa. -- The Hershey Co. announced its third-quarter results this week, celebrating a 5% growth in its candy, mint and gum sales for the 12 weeks ended Oct. 5, 2013, for all outlets combined plus convenience store channels, which accounts for about 90% of the candy company's U.S. retail business.
"Organic sales growth of 6.6% this quarter, as has been the case all year, was driven by volume, resulting in solid gross margin expansion and earnings per share-diluted growth," said John P. Bilbrey, president and CEO. "Our performance continues to reflect the strategy we outlined over the last year that focuses on investments in our core brands, innovation pipeline and international markets that provide us with the greatest opportunities for growth."
Hershey's third-quarter net sales increased 6.1%. Volume was a 6.1-point benefit in the quarter driven by core brand growth and new products in U.S. and key international markets.
Hershey's U.S. candy, mint and gum retail takeaway for the 12 weeks ended Oct. 5, 2013, in the expanded All Outlet Combined plus convenience store channels, which accounts for approximately 90 percent of our U.S. retail business, was up 5.0%, resulting in a market share gain of 0.7 points. Overall, Hershey's marketplace results were balanced with market-share gains in the major channels.
"Over the remainder of the year, we have many exciting products, promotions, programs and merchandising in place across all channels, and our major customers have indicated their expectations for a solid confectionery holiday season," Bilbrey said. "The fourth quarter will also benefit from the shipments of some select 2014 new products to retailers that will occur in December. Therefore, we expect solid fourth quarter net sales growth that will result in a full-year 2013 net sales increase of about 7%."
Hershey's 2014 pipeline of new products includes York Minis, Hershey's spreads and Lancaster Soft Crèmes caramels.
Meanwhile, the Hershey Co. announced two more of its plants have achieved Zero-Waste-to-Landfill (ZWL) status. The company now has six U.S. plants that no longer dispose routine waste into landfills. With the addition of the Y&S Plant in Lancaster, Pa., and the Robinson Plant in Robinson, Ill., the Hershey Co. has exceeded its goal to convert five plants to ZWL by 2015 well ahead of schedule.

Bill had been talking about it for a while, and we all agreed - the Singapore Home Brew Club needed to do a road trip. We needed to explore. Vietnam was chosen as our destination; it is exotic, the food is great, there are lots of small breweries there and it is inexpensive. Beer could be had for as little as about 20 cents USD a glass. Ho Chi Minh City (formerly, and still referred to by locals as, Saigon) was reported to have at least 10 micro or pub breweries. Bill arranged for the choice of two hotels – one nice, touristy, and downtown, the other, less expensive, local style and out towards the edge of town. Bill & I stayed in the later, so as to be more local style (no, not because we are cheap). Our hotel was in an interesting neighborhood about a 30 minutes walk from town centre. Our rooms were large and comfortable and had a refrigerator. And unfortunately for us the lobby and entire front of the building was being renovated. This meant several things for us; one – that there was sand and cement everywhere and there really was no front desk, two – that the crew all parked their motor scooters in the lobby (or what there was of it), and three – that every day (Sunday included) the construction crew started work (mostly with hammers) at 7:00 am. Did I mention the interesting neighborhood ?
Each morning Bill & I were out the door by 8:00 and off to have our coffee (and then Tea). We chose a busy thoroughfare where we could watch, with great interest, the passing motorists. About 90 percent of all vehicles that we saw were two wheeled, about 5 percent were three wheeled machines fabricated from old motorbikes and carts and the rest were car or the occasional truck. Saigon is a city of about 10 million people, that means there are a lot of motor bikes on the road. The motor bikes usually had more than one person on them (often three and sometimes even more – the maximum I saw was five) And the things that you saw people carrying between them on their motor bikes was truly astounding. A partial list includes, Truck windshields, a sheet of glass, a desk, sheets of plywood, a lawn mower, office chairs (to go with the desk no doubt), multiple children, 30 foot lengths of pipe, bundles of rebar, three bags of scorpions, and (my personal favorite) another motor bike (a Honda 50). Yeah, another motor bike in between two ladies on a motor bike of the same size.
And even more amazing was watching people cross the street. They literally just stepped out into traffic (sometimes without even looking) and maneuver across the road while the motor bikes and busses swirled around them like water around an island in a steam. Well, a moving island. I tried it several time (without anything like the calm and bravado that the locals had) and managed not to get hit except once. I got hit as I stepped off the sidewalk (after looking both ways) by a woman who had just zipped out of a driveway and was going against traffic. Lucky for both of us she was not going very fast or carrying a sheet of glass.
After a leisurely coffee and tea it was time to walk in to meet the others and go for a beer (or two) and then search out lunch. After lunch we had exploring to do and brew pubs to find. There are also in Saigon small beer spots called Bia Ho'i where beer from one of the local large breweries is sold. The Bia Ho'i prices were geared more to the local consumer (about 20 cents a glass). The beer there was better than the average mass marketed bottled lager but not anything special. The attraction for us was the local flavor and the good pricing. Our goal was 12 breweries and at least two Bia Ho'I in three days, I know it seems a bit lofty but we felt we were up to the task. Afternoons of walking and exploring left us thirsty and hungry. Evenings brought dinner of Vietnamese food at one of the many great local food courts and an array of delicious and sometimes unusual dishes. The oddest dishes we tried were pregnant fish and Balut (nearly developed duck still in the egg). Don't think about it just eat it, and if your lucky you can use the beak as a tooth pick.
Recommended things to do and places to see should you be lucky enough to find yourself in Saigon; Hoa Vien Brewery, Nguyen Du Brewery, any of the many Bia Ho'i places, Sao Dong food court, Bia Tu'o'i Pacific (excellent food upstairs), take a death defying ride on the back of a motor bike taxi, and stop in at any local coffee shop, preferably on the side of a busy thoroughfare.

Introducing this technology will improved service to the customer, and increased their trust in Austin car repair mechanics.
Austin, TX (PRWEB) January 27, 2014
Leonard's Garage, an Austin auto repair shop, announces a new partnership with ClearMechanics to offer a virtual estimates service for all clients.
Leonard's Garage has introduced a new service for clients that increases the transparency of the entire vehicle repair process, from scheduling of work to completion of repairs. Increased customer trust comes as the result of this web-based solution, which gives each customer a series of photos, videos, and diagrams created by the mechanic during his visual inspection of the vehicle. The customer can use this extra visual detail about their vehicle to attain a greater understanding of why the mechanic's recommended repairs are really needed.
ClearMechanic helps the auto repair shop to build more trust with customers by keeping them informed, and it has instituted its tool for use by more than 10,000 auto repair professionals in Europe and North America. ClearMechanic also protects the consumer by justifying the repair work for each vehicle serviced. ClearMechanic offers other advantages to consumers, such as facilitating easier communication with warranty administrators so extended warranty repairs will get approved faster.
It's easy to use this new service at Leonard's Garage, according to the company's owner. In the old way of doing business, a customer would bring his vehicle into the car repair shop and await a return phone call from the mechanic, who would then explain essential and optional repairs and provide a verbal estimate. Though the mechanics did a great job using that type of communication tool, it still lacked a certain visual factor, which many consumers rely on to make important decisions such as this.
Using ClearMechanic, Leonard's Garage mechanics take photos and videos of each vehicle's problems and pair that graphic documentation with their repair estimates. Now, a customer can receive this information via email or through an app on their iPhone or Android. In addition to photos and videos, a customer receives three-dimensional illustrations to understand the work required and why it is necessary for the car's optimal functioning.
Leonard's Garage is an AAA Top Shop Award winner offering two locations to customers in the Austin metropolitan area. It has introduced this innovative tool to improve service delivery to customers and increase their trust. This new tool will help to continue the shop's long-standing reputation for excellence in automotive repairs and dedication to the best customer service experience possible. Leonard's Garage has been owned and operated by 3 generations of the Johnson family. More information about Leonard's Garage is available at http://www.INeedCarRepair.com.

Xoom Launches New Multicultural Advertising Campaign
Julian King, CMO at Xoom
At Xoom, our customers are at the center of everything we do. That's why we're thrilled to be launching our first global advertising campaign called, All Stars 1.0, since joining the PayPal family last Fall. The multicultural advertising campaign reflects the way Xoom helps our customers – primarily U.S. immigrants – send money back home to the people they love most.
All Stars 1.0 was customized across 10 markets – the Philippines, Haiti, Guyana, Mexico, Brazil, Jamaica, United Kingdom, China, Vietnam and South Asia —in 10 languages to create a total of 20 spots. The message is the same across all of the countries and regions: send money from anywhere with your mobile phone in just seconds. However, the talent and the language were tailored to each market.
You can see what I mean by viewing the first ad series, Workplace, launching this week.
The campaign was created based on significant customer research and global insights. Some of the key findings that influenced the ad include:
- Sending Money at Work. Many of Xoom's customers primarily access the Internet through their mobile phones and are often sending money while they are on their lunch break or between tasks at work. In many instances, these occupations such as medicine, hospitality and construction don't allow them to sit at a computer all day, or leave work to spend hours waiting in line. To reflect these customer insights, we showed people in all of these occupations in the Workplace ads, and how conveniently they can transfer money in seconds at the swipe of a button.
- Peace of Mind. One of the biggest pain points for Xoom's primary users—immigrants in the United States sending to their families back home—is that they want peace of mind that their money will reach their families and friends securely and quickly. The ads highlight Xoom's text alerts feature, which sends consumers and SMS when the money has arrived. Additionally, customer service is available by phone 24 hours a day to guide users step-by-step.
- Transfers On-the-Go. Our customers say that in the U.S. they live very busy lives. Sending money while on-the-go and using waiting periods, such as time spent on the bus, to send money helps them save time to do other important things throughout the day. Our Timestamp series, the second set of ads in this campaign scheduled to launch later this year, highlights instances like these. While shopping at the grocery store, waiting at the drive thru, or going to the dry cleaner are other typical scenarios that all people can identify with and can be used to send money.
These ads are just the beginning of a mission to start a larger conversation about the future of money. The campaign attempts to shift perceptions of remittances as time consuming and inconvenient while emphasizing the value that digital remittances can bring to people's daily lives.
It's been a wild ride this hot summer soccer season!
Fans could have used a seatbelt this hot summer soccer season, because it's been a wild ride in both Chile for the Copa America and in Canada for the Women's World Cup.
While the top men's teams in South America were making headlines in Chile, the best women's teams representing countries all over the world were doing the same thing in Canada. The highlights are probably seared into your mind.
- Lionel Messi distributing the ball like a magician on Argentina's march to the Copa America final against Chile.
- The heartbreak of Laura Bassett whose own goal in stoppage play allowed Japan to eliminate England, 2-1, in the World Cup semifinals.
- Host Chile playing like a champion, reaching the Copa America final and attempting to win the tournament for the first time.
- Japan trying to repeat its 2011 World Cup victory in the final against the United States and the U.S. just as strongly opposing.
- Hope Solo playing brilliantly in goal for the United States, reaching the World Cup final.
All along the way, all over the world, people took notice, proven by attendance records, huge television audiences and record ratings. It's been a wild ride, to be sure, and also a magical one. But while it's nearly over, it's still one for the books.
And don't forget that the smarter way to send money to Canada, the United Kingdom, Argentina and Chile is Xoom.com.
History will Clearly be Made in the Final in Santiago
Something's got to give when Argentina takes on host Chile in Saturday's final of the 44th Copa America. Both teams have something in common, two unsettling streaks they are trying to end – Argentina has not won the Copa America since 1993 while Chile has never won it.
So history will clearly be made in the final in Santiago.
Argentina, ranked No. 3 in the world by FIFA, seems to have all the momentum right now after its 6-1 semifinal thrashing of Paraguay, the 2011 finalist. Angel Di Maria scored twice and superstar Lionel Messi helped out on five of the six goals.
But Chile, ranked 19th in the world, cannot be discounted, and looked impressive in its 2-1 victory over Peru in the other semifinal. Chile relies on Arturo Vidal and Eduardo Vargas, who have combined to account for seven of the 13 goals Chile has scored in the tournament. Still, it has to rankle Chile that it is one of only three South American countries (Venezuela, Ecuador) that has not won the Copa America since it began in 1916.
Messi, as usual, counters for Argentina. His three assists so far ties him with Chile's Jorge Valdivia for the most in the tournament.
And there's something else to remember, too. The smarter way to send money to Argentina, Chile is Xoom.com.
Only Four Countries Left in the 44th Copa America
Argentina and Paraguay. Peru and Chile. Only four countries are still standing in the 44th Copa America with the clock ticking for the tension-packed semifinal round.
Host Chile pushed it way into Monday's semifinal showdown against Peru in Santiago de Chile as a result of its 1-0 quarterfinal upset of Uruguay – the first time Chile has defeated Uruguay in the Copa America since 1983. Peru earned its matchup against host country Chile with a bruising 3-1 quarterfinal victory over Bolivia.
Peru now has a chance to atone for a 4-2 loss to Chile in a 2014 World Cup qualifier.
Paraguay stunned Brazil on penalty kick shootout (4-3) after the game ended in a 1-1 tie. Derlis Gonzalez scored the game-winner on his penalty kick. It was the second consecutive time that Paraguay has ousted Brazil on penalties in the quarterfinals of the tournament.
Argentina made it to Concepcion and Tuesday's semifinal against Paraguay, also on penalty kicks (5-4), following a scoreless tie against Colombia.
There is no extra time at the Copa America. The games go straight to penalties if the score is tied after 90 minutes.
And don't forget that the smarter way to send money to Argentina, Chile, Peru, Brazil, Colombia, Uruguay and Bolivia is Xoom.com.
The Copa America is Hitting its Stride this Week
The Copa America is hitting its stride this week, when the quarterfinal knockout round separates the teams that are going on from those who will be packing their luggage and heading home. Since the Group Stage was completed, the top teams have clearly made themselves known with host Chile creating the most noise.
Chile, which plays defending Copa America champion Uruguay in the first quarterfinal game Wednesday at Santiago de Chile, was the heavyweight in Group A. Chile scored 10 goals in three games – six more than any other team in the tournament. Even though Chile has never won the Copa America and Uruguay is a 15-time winner, Chile's attacking style may be the difference.
Bolivia–Peru meet in Temuco on Thursday with the winner of that showdown advancing to play the winner of the Chile–Uruguay match in one of the semifinals. In Group A, Bolivia posted two victories, against Peru and Ecuador, and also tied with Mexico. Peru had one victory and a tie in Group C.
Colombia, one of the pre-tournament favorites, managed to edge into the semifinals against Argentina in Vina del Mar on Friday despite finishing third in Group C, scoring only one goal and drawing 0-0 with Peru in its last game. But Colombia still moved on when Brazil, the class of Group C, defeated Venezuela, 2-1.
Colombian star James has not scored a goal, but he remains confident. "Friday is a great match to try and make things better," James said.
As for Brazil, Robinho and Roberto Firmino have been outstanding while Paraguay may be vulnerable after nondescript results in Group B – ties with Uruguay and Argentina and a victory over Jamaica. The Brazil-Paraguay match is Saturday night in Concepcion.
And don't forget that the smarter way to send money to Chile, Uruguay , Bolivia, Peru, Argentina, Colombia and Brazil is Xoom.com.
Call it a Summer Soccer Festival
What is it about this time of year for football fans? Everywhere you look, there's a lot of football going on – and in far-flung locations, too.
Call it a Summer Soccer Festival, and it stars not only the Copa America that's taking place in Chile, but also the Women's World Cup, which is being contested at the same time in Canada.
The women are more than up to the task of sharing the spotlight with their male counterparts. The knockout rounds are fast-approaching in locations all over Canada and the top teams are asserting themselves, just as many expected.
Germany and Norway look like the powerhouses in Group B, Japan seems poised to rule Group C, the same for Brazil in Group E. The most competitive may be Group F, where Colombia, England, France and even Mexico are trying to assert themselves and move on.
While we're at it, remember that Xoom.com is the smarter way to send money to such Women's World Cup participant countries as Canada, China, the Netherlands, Germany, Ecuador, the U.S., Australia, Brazil, Costa Rica, Spain, Colombia, England, France and Mexico.
Meanwhile, follow all the action of the 44th Copa America, where Chile and Bolivia are among the points leaders – and they're together in the same group.
For football fans, there is much at stake, whether it's happening in Canada with the Women's World Cup, or in Chile at the Copa America.
Powerhouses Brazil and Colombia Lean on their Young Superstars
Two of football's youngest, brightest superstars are on a collision course with destiny in the Copa America, where Neymar of Brazil and James Rodriguez of Colombia go up against each other at Estadio Monumental David Arellano in Santiago de Chile.
Consider this Group C showdown a rematch of the memorable 2014 World Cup quarterfinal, where Brazil edged Colombia, 2-1. It was a memorable afternoon. James scored Colombia's only goal and Neymar was forced to leave after fracturing his vertebra while taking a hard foul.
Powerhouses Brazil and Colombia are certain to be leaning on their top players. Neymar, 23, scored four goals in group play in the last World Cup, two against Croatia and two against Cameroon. Captain of the Brazilian team, Neymar plays for FC Barcelona of the Spanish League.
James, who turns 24 in July, scored six goals for Colombia at the World Cup and was the top goal-scorer in the tournament, winning the Golden Boot. He also stars for Real Madrid in the Spanish League.
Brazil's Oscar injured his thigh during practice with Chelsea of the Premier League, but he has been replaced by 31-year-old veteran striker Robinho. After missing the World Cup because of a knee injury, Radamel Falcao is healthy once again for Colombia and is likely to team up with James to head the offensive attack.
Remember that Brazil has won four of the last six Copa America titles.
And don't forget that the smarter way to send money to friends and family back home in Colombia and Brazil is Xoom.com.
Jamaica Takes on Paraguay
Chances are it will be a rude welcome for Jamaica at the Copa America, where the invited team has landed in a rough and tumble Group B that also includes Argentina, Uruguay and Paraguay.
When Jamaica takes on Paraguay at Estadio Regional Calvo y Bascunan in Antofagasta, all eyes will be focused on Jamaican star Darren Mattocks, who will be heavily counted upon if Jamaica is going to advance out of the group stage. The 24-year-old Mattocks, a skilled and inventive dynamo who plays professionally for the MLS Vancouver Whitecaps, must show the way for Jamaica. Still, Jamaica is likely to be overlooked because of the talented teams surrounding it.
The 44th Copa America features 12 teams, 10 of them from CONMEBOL and two other invited teams from CONCACAF – Mexico and now Jamaica. Mexico is a perennial invitee, but Jamaica has taken the second spot that used to belong to the United States and most recently Costa Rica.
Paraguay, going up against Jamaica, is a two-time Copa America champion and was runner-up in 2011. It may be that the best hope to advance for Paraguay, just like for Jamaica, is to be one of the two third-place teams that advance from group play. That issue may be settled when they collide.
While you're following along, remember that the smarter way to send money to Jamaica is Xoom.com.

Intereach urges you to ask 'R U OK?'
Intereach is taking part in R U OK? Day, a mental health initiative that encourages people to check on the well-being of colleagues, family and friends, with the simple question, "Are you ok?"
This Thursday, Intereach Community Hub, ROAR and Ability Links workers will be at the kiosk in Cressy St, Deniliquin.
Local people are invited to stop by the kiosk between 10am and 2.30pm to tie a ribbon on the Intereach tree to show their support for mental health and suicide prevention.
The tree will then be displayed at the Intereach Deniliquin Neighbourhood Centre.
Cupcakes and R U OK merchandise will also be available.
Intereach is working with Wellways, Vinnies Services and Murrumbidgee Local Health Authority to support R U OK Day.
Intereach chief executive officer Sue Mathieson is encouraging everyone to get behind this important day and ask, "R U OK?''
''By supporting this day we could all be helping to save lives,'' she said.
''If you are worried about someone it is important to start a conversation with them — find out how they are feeling and support them to get help if they need it.
''Sometimes asking a simple question can help make a difference to a person's mental health and wellbeing. It might not solve all their problems but it can help to make them feel supported and cared for.
''Intereach has a range of mental health support services available to local people. If you're feeling down give us a call or drop into our office and find out how we can support you.''
Intereach is a not for profit community based provider of services to regional, rural and remote communities throughout the Riverina Murray region of NSW.
It works alongside children, families, older people, carers and people with a disability by providing information and support, delivering a range of services or linking people with another service that can better meet their needs.

Mitigating Security Threats for Women at Home, Overseas
June 27, 2011
NBAA Flight Plan podcast about ensuring the safety for female travelers
Have you ever found yourself surrounded by strangers in a strange place, unable to understand the language or the customs? Were you worried about your safety in those surroundings? That is often the case for the increasing number of women on either side of the cockpit door in business aviation.
Jo Damato, NBAA's Director of Operations and Educational Development, is out to change that with a webinar scheduled for June 28 entitled "Safety and Security: Threat Mitigation for the Traveling Businesswoman."
"We are finding there are more female crew members," observed Damato. "There are also more businesswomen traveling. They are going to more remote parts of the world. It's important for them to have background on the culture and some of the things they may not know that can keep them safe."
Katie Colberg agreed, with a perspective based on experience. Colberg is a program manager at ASI Global, which specializes in threat mitigation and response for both families and businesses.
"Companies have really started to recognize the needs and the issues that females are encountering overseas are just a little bit different than what men encounter," she said.
For instance, Colberg pointed out, in many religiously observant Middle Eastern countries, women are not allowed to drive. In public, they must cover their faces and dress very conservatively. Breaking those cultural rules could result in danger to a woman and her traveling companions.
"It's not about scaring [travelers]," she hastened to add. "We just want to bring it to the front of everybody's minds so that, when they're traveling, they can take precautions. We're actually going to discuss what we look for when we go into a security situation," in NBAA's June 28th webinar, she said. "And, it's not only for women, but for the men who travel with them. It's about keeping everybody safe."
The precautions necessary to maintain crew safety – and especially the safety of female crew and passengers – can change quickly. Consider the recent uprising in Egypt, suggested Aviation Week journalist Benet Wilson, moderator of the June 28th webinar. Wilson travels extensively in pursuit of stories on the aerospace industry.
"These events are not static. They change day-by-day," Wilson said. "The companies that do the best are the ones that best prepare their employees."
While more corporations are developing in-house intelligence capabilities designed to discern and track societal changes that could impact crew safety, Wilson said the webinar will also focus on what individuals can do to prepare for a trip to a new and perhaps very different destination.
The webinar – "Safety and Security: Threat Mitigation for the Traveling Businesswoman" – begins at 2:00 p.m. ET on Tuesday, June 28, 2011. Register for the webinar now.
For more information contact NBAA's Jo Damato at email@example.com.

Precision lowering of large water tank
Successful completion of a unique tank fabrication process requires precisely lowering the almost-finished tank from a working height of about four feet unto its pad. By analogy, think of balancing a tall stack of poker chips in the palm of your hand. Similarly, although the tank is empty, it must be lowered at all support points in a precise and uniform manner in order to avoid undue stresses or even distortion.
Tank Fabrication
Cobra Tanks Inc., located in Blaine, WA near the Canada border, offers an unusual method of on-site tank fabrication. "The tank is built top-to-bottom," says Cobra's Phil Cudmore. He explains that the four year-old company builds tanks from continuous stainless steel strips in a spiral manner similar to the way some pipes are made. The strip material is fed in from the bottom, and the tank slowly rises as it rotates and successive turns are added to the bottom edge.
Cudmore further explains that a "corrugator" machine puts a "chair bend" on the strip material as it unwinds from an as-delivered coil. The next process step is welding, where adjacent upper and lower bends of the strips are welded together on a track system. Rollers guide the revolving shell, which moves upward as a helix.
"Because the tank is built top-first, we can easily install high-level connections, platforms, and such while that part of the tank is still at a convenient height," says Cudmore, adding that "When the spiral shell reaches the desired height, the top and bottom edges are plasma-cut square with the base."
Synchronization is Key to Lowering
A computer-synchronized hydraulic jacking system from Enerpac Integrated Solutions met Cobra's needs and was first used by the tank fabricator for the large double-wall wastewater tank at a New Jersey manufacturing facility described here. Near the end of the on-site fabrication process, the almost-completed tank had to be lowered uniformly from the approximately four-foot height used for the spiral fabrication process.
Enerpac representative Mike Storch of Metro Hydraulics explains that his company helped design the "walking" (pin-post) jacks incorporating computer-controlled hydraulic cylinders. The jacks, which allowed 12-in.-stroke cylinders to be used for the four foot jacking distance, included fine-adjustment screws. "Each of the jacks had to work at a different height because of the tank spiral," says Storch.
The tank lowering proceeded smoothly because of the "Synchronous Lifting" digital control system using position sensors. As configured for this job, the system used four jacks, each accompanied by a pressure gauge, a flow control valve, a solenoid valve, and a position sensor.
The digital hydraulic control system maintained vertical position accuracy to within 1 mm at each lifting point. The position sensors, with mechanical construction analogous to that of a tape measure, unwind a fine wire from a spool to a fixed reference point. Rotation of the spool is monitored with high angular resolution, and the resulting signal goes to the digital controller, which operates solenoid valves at each jack as needed.
In addition to accurate position monitoring by the controller, the force at each cylinder was readily observable via the pressure gauges installed on each outgoing line from the distribution manifold. With both force and displacement monitored at all lift points, on-site personnel could have confidence that the big tank would be lowered as intended.
One might think of computerized equipment as adding complexity to a task. However, for multi-point lifting, the opposite is often the case. Manually operating the four jacks used for the job would have required intense coordination, and the possibility of human error is always a concern. Pleased with the results, Cobra Tanks continues to use the Synchronous Lifting system.

The First 5 Piccolo Chapters~Read On
Chapter Six~~The Village of Disnik
It's strange how mistakes, wrong turns, and blunders can turn out to be exactly right—I mean at the time you don't know it, but it sometimes happens that way. We'd followed our directions, we thought, to a tee and arrived in Disnik finding 'the house' I just knew was my grandfather's home place. When we pulled up I had this sinking feeling that this was the end of the journey, it was what I'd come for, just to stand there in front of this weed covered, battered and dilapidated house and know I'd come full circle.Taking pictures I noticed across the road, which was about wide enough for one car, and there were no other cars in sight, a man working in his garden. Rather than looking like some alien from Mars, a stranger totally, I walked over, jumped the ditch, and waved to him to introduce myself and, hopefully, communicate to him why this crazy American was taking pictures of this house. We tried to talk going back and forth with gestures, smiles, and single words, and from this I learned, don't ask me how, that this house was not the 'Rebic' house.He must have seen the disappointment in my face, and within minutes, he had another young man there, who obviously was in the middle of his day's farm work, and before long there was the uncle of this young man and a young woman—all could speak varying degrees of English, so I explained why I was there.Within minutes I was sharing with them my crumpled worn copies of the documents I had on my grandfather and grandmother—they began flipping through them, talking in Croatian and then pulling out their cell phones and making calls. It was as if a major intelligence operation was taking place right there on this country road with complete strangers who'd made it their mission to help me—this desperate American woman who'd traveled thousands of miles looking for family that had left there nearly 100 years ago!
I can't even begin to explain the rush of feelings I was having—and the thoughts that were racing through my head—I mean where can you go where people come to your aid with not motive other than to help—how do you find a place where there could even be a remote thread of a chance of finding family from a century prior, I mean who would you even begin to call! This was not an easy task nor was it a guarantee, but there was no giving up on their part—for almost two hours they worked, they called, they chattered with each other, and they shared with me what they thought they'd discovered.
Rather than stand out in the road, they invited us into their home. Christina, wife of one of the gentlemen and a young beautiful newly married woman expecting their first baby, immediately went to the kitchen to fix coffee for us and serve cookies. Their home was warm, welcoming and a refuge of hospitality for two nincompoop Americans on this crazy journey. Christina spoke good English, she was a pre-school teacher—we talked about Facebook, we would become 'friends'—she shared with us her beautiful wedding pictures, an affair with over 400 guests and something that was an extravaganza to behold! Finally, her uncle shared with us that he had found a member of the Rebic family, and he was going to the next village to get her and bring her back to meet us—who would this be? What would she know? Could she provide some links to my past?
Chapter Seven~~Meeting my Family
Within about 30 minutes, the door opened and in walked a reserved pretty woman probably in her late 40s or early 50s—no make-up showed her beautiful features, she clutched her sweater around her mid-section as she and her 16 year-old daughter, a strikingly beautiful teenager dressed as any American teen would, sat in the small living room with us. Everyone else seemed to disappear and all I could see was this person who could be my family.
Speaking slowly in English, as if that helps with translation, she told me she spoke English—I was relieved knowing huge progress would be made. Maya then began sharing with me historical memories about her married family, which descended from the Rebic line. Her 89 year-old mother-in-law, Manda, infirmed and with dementia, lived with them—she was the daughter of Ivan—when she said that warm tears filled my eyes—Ivan was my grandfather's, Joseph's, brother! Joseph had come to America she said, he had married Mara (Mary my grandmother), and they had a daughter, Kata—my mother! Maya said that the family received a letter from Joseph, nearly 100 years ago, telling them of his new daughter—I was overjoyed and overwhelmed knowing this was the family lineage I'd come to find!
Like a Nicholas Sparks novel or a Lifetime movie, the emotions were flowing. I had so many questions. I wanted to meet Manda, Mom's first cousin. I wanted to meet Maya's husband, Vlado, my second cousin. I wanted to meet their other daughters—family that no one ever knew existed. Looking back I know the 'ancestry angels', the kind and gentle people who helped me make this happen were probably smiling, too, from ear to ear—they'd created for another person, a stranger in their path, a dream come true.
We would follow Maya back to her home where we spent another couple of hours pouring over old photo albums, finding family on Facebook and introducing them to new family, sharing our world with theirs and theirs with ours. We would eat truly organic and farm to table food—lamb, tomatoes, bread—have good coffee, sip and chatter incessantly. Photos would be taken, smiles and laughter would emerge. We would visit, yes, the real home place where my grandfather lived as a boy. And, I would meet Manda, hold her frail hand, look into her tender familiar eyes seeing a glimpse of my Mom, and know that even with her dementia there was a thread of recognition of who I was. She stared into my eyes as Maya talked to her in Croatian telling her who I was—she weakly pulled my hand to her face and gently kissed it. I was nothing but a bundle of hot salty tears, heart beating and throat throbbing trying to contain some sense of decorum. Never had I expected to find this complete joy when we left from Zagreb.
All of this happened so 'coincidentally' or was it providential? What would have been the likelihood of anything like this being orchestrated and pulled off so perfectly? How could something like this ever work in a world without cell phones, without the generosity of a lifestyle of people who were home on this Friday afternoon tending their animals, tending their farms, tending their lives—and it all came to a halt, like a magical moment in time, when Ben and I made the wrong turn and found the wrong house and eventually found the right family.
There was kind of an empty numb feeling in my gut when we drove away, turning and waving and heading back to Zagreb. I knew that in all probability I would never again see these wonderful people, my family. Our worlds are vastly different, but they came from the same start—two brothers, Ivan and Joseph. One stayed in the old country. One journeyed to America for a new life never to return. Nearly 100 hundred years later their grandchildren, Ally (Alice) and Vlado, meet, and it's as if time had stood still.

HelpAge International is extremely concerned about the safety and wellbeing of older people affected by the recent escalation of unrest in North Kivu province in eastern Democratic of Congo (DRC).
Around 140,000 people have been displaced by the latest eruption of violence – a rebellion by the M23 militia force, formerly members of the Congolese Army (FARDC). We estimate 12,000 older people aged 50 or over are among the displaced.
(c) Gacheru Maina/HelpAge International
HelpAge works in DRC's North Kivu province supporting older people and their families who have been affected or displaced by the ongoing conflict.
High risk of cholera
Those who have been displaced urgently need food and medicines. Most are staying in large internally displaced persons (IDP) camps, while some are staying in primary schools without basic facilities. Clean drinking water is also in scarce supply and the risk of cholera is high.
An older people's association, established and supported by HelpAge in Munganga III camp, is assisting older refugees who are fleeing from other camps in the area. About 700 older people arrived at the end of last week, without food or medicine.
These displaced older people brought plastic sheeting and sticks from their shelter in the IDP camps from which they fled. HelpAge's older people's association is helping them reconstruct temporary shelters.
Older people particularly vulnerable
Gaetan Duhamel, HelpAge's Country Director in DRC said: "Older men and women are particularly vulnerable in disasters and conflicts.
"Many have difficulty walking or have chronic illnesses that limit their mobility so it is harder for them to escape dangerous situations. They also need help to access food, healthcare and other essential services."
Helpage is also worried that many older people will be left behind when displaced people are moved from camps like Mugunga III to their home areas or safer sites.
Our recent report on displacement, The neglected generation, showed that older people are often last in the queue for relief or resettlement, especially when they are frail and have no relatives to assist them.
Under international humanitarian law, older people are protected as "persons not participating in the hostilities". They are also entitled to special protection because of their weakened condition.
HelpAge International is the only international organisation dedicated to ensuring older people receive the assistance they need in humanitarian crises.

Is there another reason for the proposed funding cuts other than UA President Hart wants more coverage for the UofA? I hope the Weekly follows up on this story and does some investigative journalism. Or more than press release reporting.
"She co-founded the Pima County Tea Party Patriots and launched an effort to recall Bronson that went nowhere." Quote from the Weekly story. This explains the problem, she is a Tea Party person. Good reporting Weekly.
It's nice to hear the media (Tucson Weekly) point out the obvious. Televised news folks are more interested in exaggeration than common sense and facts. Their mantra, "Never let facts get in the way of a news story."

Microsoft debuts new fitness tracker
Photo credit: Microsoft
Microsoft announced plans to release its second-generation fitness tracker, the Microsoft Band, in New York City on Tuesday.
The technology giant said the new device will come equipped with an improved heart rate sensor designed to measure users' heart rates more accurately. It also comes with a barometer to track elevation. The updated Band is expected to launch at the end of October.
The barometer adds to the Band's existing features, which include GPS, sleep tracking and calorie counting. It will also continue to sync up with Microsoft Health, which aggregates all activity data captured by the Band.
Some pharma companies are exploring the use of fitness trackers as a cost-cutting measure in clinical trials and as a way to better measure disease progression in patients. Drugmakers are also using wearables as a way to identify new biomarkers for future research.
Microsoft has partnered with a number of companies, too, to share data with various mobile apps, including MyFitnessPal, which allows users to track calories, and weight-loss app Lose It!

Villy Søvndal announced on Saturday that he planned to apply strict labelling criteria to Israeli goods, which "clearly shows consumers that the products are produced under conditions that not only the Danish government but also European governments do not approve".
"It will then be up to consumers whether they choose to buy the products or not," he told Politiken newspaper.
Mr Sovndal's announcement follows a significant victory in South Africa for the pro-Palestinian lobby, led by the Palestinian Popular Struggle Committee and Open Shuhada.
Dr Rob Davies, South Africa's minister of trade and industry, issued a notice earlier this month banning products "wrongly labelled as originating in Israel".
"The government of South African recognises the State of Israel only within the borders demarcated by the UN in 1948," Dr Davies stated, adding that consumers should not be misled into thinking products made in occupied Palestinian territory have been produced in Israel. Citizens have 60 days in which to lodge an objection to the government directive.
Mohammed Khatib, a member of the Popular Struggle Coordination Committee and West Bank resident, welcomed South Africa's decision but urged the government to take an even firmer stance.
"The notice is an important first step, which, reason suggests, should be followed by a complete ban on the marketing of these products in South Africa, no matter how they are labelled," he said.
Yigal Palmour, spokesperson for Israel's foreign ministry, dismissed speculation that South Africa's position would spark a wave of international restrictions on Israeli settlement products.
"I think this movement will remain in South Africa, where it is peculiar to local politics. No one knows how to distinguish between the West Bank and Israel. It is clear this measure will affect all Israeli products. It is unacceptable to single out and stigmatise one country in terms of trade," Mr Palmour said. "I do not think it will be a trend."
More than half a million Jewish settlers live and work in the West Bank and East Jerusalem on land conquered by Israel in the 1967 war. Israel is within its rights as an occupying power to make economic use of the resources of this land but only in order to sustain an army and cover the costs of administrating occupied territory.
Previously, the strongest steps to restrict Israel's settlement industry have been taken by Britain. Following Israel's refusal to label settlement products for export to the EU, Gordon Brown's government issued strict stipulations in 2009 to retailers in the UK on how to differentiate between Palestinian products and those made by Israeli manufacturers beyond the Green Line.

CHICAGO (CBS) — Police are warning bank customers to be careful, after a string of robberies at ATMs on the South Side.
WBBM Newsradio's Nancy Harty reports one robber used a knife, another implied he had a gun; most were alone, and all took place at ATMs in the lobbies of different bank branches.
Police have issued a community alert warning of the robberies at 84th and Stony, 86th and Cottage Grove, 69th and Ashland; at 87th and Halsted, and at 87th and Champlain.
CBS 2's Suzanne Le Mignot obtained surveillance video of one of the robberies. A woman walks into a Chase branch near 87th and Cottage to use the lobby ATM. Seconds later, a man follows her in.
Then, the man runs out, jumps into a car and reverses all the way out of the parking lot, onto the street. Seconds later, mall security arrives.
In each case, there have been between one and three offenders.
"This is so dangerous, because I come up here all the time and you never know who's behind you," ATM user Beverly Jenkins says.
The police alert cautioned bank customers not to use ATMs alone, and to try to use ATM lobbies that have locking doors.
If confronted by a robber, the victim should comply with all demands, and try to remember any unique identifying characteristics.

ESPN's "30 for 30" series of documentary films might just medal at 6 p.m. tonight when it airs "The Price of Gold," looking back 20 years to the Tonya Harding-Nancy Kerrigan figure skating scandal that rocked Oregon and the sports world.
Kerrigan declined to participate in the film, but Harding – now living in Central Oregon with her husband and their young son – jumped into the media fray again with some frank opinions about the events of Jan. 6, 1994, and the characters involved.
That day, shortly after she left the ice during a practice session at the U.S. Figure Skating Championship in Detroit, a burly assailant whacked Kerrigan on the right knee with a metal baton before fleeing. Authorities quickly linked Harding and those in her camp to the attack. The story exploded worldwide.
As the investigation unfolded, both skaters headed to Norway for the Olympic Games a little more than a month later. Interest was so high that to this day, the 1994 Olympic figure skating competition holds the No. 3 spot among the top-rated televised sporting events of all time.
Kristi Turnquist, TV critic for The Oregonian and oregonlive.com, says "The Price of Gold" reminds that "this was a story like no other, incorporating issues of class, sports, crime and punishment." It features interviews with reporters from CBS' Connie Chung to former KOIN (6) sports reporter Ann Schatz; then-chief deputy district attorney for Multnomah County Norman Frink; Harding's friends; Kerrigan's coaches and her husband – but not Kerrigan.
She's saving her words, apparently, for an interview with correspondent Mary Carillo in an NBC documentary due to air next month. NBC also hired Kerrigan to work as a figure skating analyst during the XXII Olympic Games in Sochi, Russia. The skating begins Sunday, Feb. 9.
We plan to watch "The Price of Gold" tonight and if you do, too, we'd like to hear from you. During and after the film we'll have a live chat in the comments section of this post. Here's hoping it's a lively one.
Please join the conversation.

June 13, 2013 09:30 ET
OTTAWA, ONTARIO--(Marketwired - June 13, 2013) - Private sector-led economic growth is creating opportunities to move people from poverty to prosperity in developing countries. Today, to mark the launch event of the Canadian chapter of the United Nations Global Compact, the Honourable Julian Fantino, Minister of International Cooperation and Lois Brown, Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of International Cooperation, reiterated Canada's commitment to help people lift themselves out of poverty and create stronger economies.
"We want to harness the expertise, resources and innovation of the private sector to help the most vulnerable," said Minister Fantino. "This leads to better job opportunities, more investment and more resources to improve productivity and public well-being."
The UN Global Compact encourages businesses worldwide to adopt sustainable and socially responsible policies, and to report on their implementation. The launch of the Canadian chapter of the UN Global Compact brings together leading private sector firms operating abroad, Canadian public sector leaders, UN officials, and civil society organizations to promote responsible investment and business practices abroad.
"A strong private sector is the cornerstone for developing economies to move themselves from poverty to prosperity," said PS Brown. "The UN Global Compact is an excellent example of how Canada can facilitate partnerships and help drive innovation in order to help those most in need around the world."
Economic Action Plan 2013 reaffirms Canada's commitment to international development assistance, such as improving sustainable economic growth. The new Department of Foreign Affairs, Trade and Development will maintain the mandate of poverty alleviation and help achieve greater efficiency, accountability, and focus to continue to improve the lives of people in need around the world.
What is the UN Global Compact?
- The UN Global Compact encourages businesses worldwide to adopt sustainable and socially responsible policies, and to report on their implementation.
- The launch of the Canadian chapter of the UN Global Compact brings together leading private sector firms operating abroad, public sector leaders, UN officials, and civil society organizations from Canada to promote responsible investment and business practices abroad.
Canada's approach to private sector-led development
- Canada wants to harness the power, resources and innovation of the private sector to help the most vulnerable. This leads to better job opportunities, more investment and more resources to improve productivity and public well-being.
- By placing a greater emphasis on partnering with the private sector in development, we recognize that the bulk of capital from Canada to the developing world no longer flows through our government's international assistance efforts.
- Private investment far outpaces development assistance, private foundations and non-governmental organizations provide significant charitable support, and Canada's vibrant diaspora communities also contribute through remittances.
- The private sector is the driving force behind economic growth and it is essential to achieving meaningful development outcomes that raise people out of poverty and put them on the road to prosperity. It is the primary source of economic growth, job creation, government revenue to finance essential public services, and the goods and services required to improve people's quality of life.
- This is why Canada is helping developing-country partners create the conditions for strong and sustainable private sector-led growth through its Sustainable Economic Growth Strategy.
- Countries such as South Korea, India and Brazil, which were once recipients of development assistance, including from Canada, are now at the forefront of the global economy. By growing their economies, they have pulled millions of people out of poverty in just a few decades and have grown to the point that they too are investing their own taxpayers' money in international development.
- Canada supports market-oriented incentives for the private sector to target investments that achieve meaningful development impact.
-- For example, in Ethiopia, Canada supports a project with the Mennonite Economic Development Associates that provides working capital and skills training for women entrepreneurs in the textile industry.
- Canada encourages multi-stakeholder partnerships with private sector and non-for-profit organizations that support projects and initiatives demonstrating clear benefits in the government's thematic priority areas in development. These partnerships require private sector actors to share in the costs of delivering a particular project.
-- For example, the Government of Canada supports the Zinc Alliance for Child Health with Teck and the Micronutrient Initiative to develop and scale up zinc treatment programs to improve nutrition and help save children's lives.
- Canada advocates for innovations that generate game-changing solutions to international development challenges. This includes supporting innovative approaches, finance instruments, and technologies that encourage private sector actors to create products and services, and to enhance the delivery of public services in developing countries to improve the lives of people most in need.
-- For example, Canada has a strategic partnership with Grand Challenges Canada to scale up promising innovations in the area of global health, many of which are generated by social entrepreneurs.
-- Canada also supports, in partnership with the GAVI Alliance, an innovative financing approach that brings the public and private sectors together to develop and deliver much-needed vaccines to treat pneumococcal disease - a leading cause of child deaths in developing countries.

Betsy Connell, a Canadian nurse, recounts the curious circumstances under which she "walked with a zombie": Hired to care for Jessica Holland, the wife of Paul Holland, the owner of a sugar plantation in the Caribbean, Betsy sails from Canada to Antigua, where she is met by Paul and escorted to the island of St. Sebastian. As they sail to their destination, Betsy's dreams of island beauty are shattered by Paul, who cautions her that the beauty surrounding them masks death and decay. At the St. Sebastian dock, Betsy is met by a carriage from Fort Holland, whose driver tells her the story of how the Hollands brought the slaves to the island and explains that the statue of "T-Misery" in the Hollands' courtyard comes from the masthead of a slaveship. At dinner that night, Betsy is joined by Wesley Rand, Paul's half-brother, who informs her that their mother, Mrs. Rand, runs the village dispensary. While getting ready for bed, Betsy hears a woman's sobs coming from across the courtyard and goes to investigate. Following the sobs to a tower stairwell, Betsy begins to ascend the stairs when she is cornered by the cataliptic figure of Jessica Holland. After Betsy screams for help, Paul comes to the tower and puts Jessica to bed. The next morning, Paul upbraids Betsy for her childish behavior and warns her not to heed the island superstitions. Betsy then meets Jessica's physician, Dr. Maxwell, who explains that his patient's zombie-like condition is caused by an incurable tropical fever. On Betsy's day off, Wesley accompanies her to the village, and while he drinks himself into a stupor, a calypso singer performs a song about Paul and Wesley's rivalry for Jessica's love. After Wesley passes out, Mrs. Rand comes to the table and arranges to have him taken back to Fort Holland. That night, the distant drums of a voodoo ritual underscore the harsh words exchanged by Paul and Wesley over dinner. Later, Betsy is drawn to the sound of Paul playing the piano. When he sees her approach, Paul apologizes for bringing her to the island and admits to driving his wife mad. After their discussion, Betsy realizes that she has fallen in love with Paul and determines to make him happy by curing Jessica. Betsy administers insulin shock to Jessica, and when the treatment fails, Paul comforts her, prompting Wesley to accuse him of falling in love with his wife's nurse. When Alma, Jessica's maid, suggests that the voodoo priest might be able to cure Jessica, Betsy questions Mrs. Rand about the power of voodoo, but the older woman advises her against it. Ignoring Mrs. Rand, Betsy decides to take her patient to the voodoo priest, and Alma draws her a map to the "Home Fort." That night, Betsy leads Jessica through billowing fields of cane, past animal sacrifices and to the crossroads guarded by the towering zombie-like figure of Carre Four, the voodoo god. Finally reaching the village, Betsy enters a shack to consult with the voodoo priest. Inside, she is astounded to discover that the priest is none other than Mrs. Rand. After explaining that she uses voodoo to convince the natives to accept standard medical practices, Mrs. Rand tells Betsy that Jessica can never be cured, and Betsy takes her charge back to the house. The natives, inflamed by the presence of Jessica, intensify their rituals, intent upon drawing her back to the Home Fort. As the native drums pound, Paul admits that he is fearful of demeaning and abusing Betsy as he did Jessica, and asks her to return to Canada. That night, Betsy is awakened by the looming shadow of Carre Four and she runs to Paul's room for help. Mrs. Rand then appears and orders Carre Four to leave the Holland complex. The next day, Maxwell comes with the bad news that the native unrest has sparked an inquest into Jessica's illness. Mrs. Rand responds that Jessica is not sick but a zombie, a member of the living dead. Mrs. Rand explains that when she discovered that Jessica was planning to run away with Wesley, she put a curse on her, turning her into a zombie. Maxwell refuses to accept her explanation, however, and insists that Jessica is a victim of tropical fever. That night, the drums beat ominously as Jessica shuffles from the house to the front gates. Wesley, obsessed with freeing Jessica from her zombie-like state, opens the gates, pulls an arrow from the statue of T-Misery and follows her. Compelled to mimic the hand of a voodoo worshipper stabbing a doll with a pin, Wesley thrusts the arrow into Jessica and carries her into the sea as Carre Four follows, staring blindly into the night. Later, the natives discover the bodies of Jessica and Wesley floating in the surf and carry them back to Fort Holland, where Paul comforts Betsy.

Bring the water to a rolling boil in a medium saucepan over high heat. Add the tapioca pearls and stir to separate. Reduce the heat to low and simmer until the tapioca becomes translucent, about 20 minutes. Add the coconut milk, sugar and salt and stir well.
Five minutes before the end of cooking time, peel the bananas and cut them in half lengthwise. Cut each piece again into 4 pieces. Add them to the pan and cook until just soft. At this point the tapioca pearls should be clear and cooked.
Remove from the heat and transfer to individual dessert bowls. Garnish with the peanuts and serve hot or at room temperature. (The pudding will thicken as it cools.)

Now I'm wondering, approximately how much more range will I get for each mw of increase? I don't need precision, just some ballpark numbers. I understand that obstructions are going to cut my range way down. Thanks a lot!

This industry is linked to almost every other industry since IT services (software and hardware) are basic requirements for almost every business operation.
Nasscom has estimated that the IT services sector in India would grow by 13-14 per cent in 2013-14 and is expected to reach US$ 225 billion by 2020.
While the IT industry empowers businesses to automate processes and eliminates the need for excessive manpower, it also generates a large no. of employment opportunities within the IT sector itself.
With the growth of devices such as iPad, Tablets, Smartphones that enable people to stay connected on the move, the significance of the online industry has risen to a high level and accelerated the need for competent software and hardware professionals in this domain.
E-commerce (Online Shopping) and use of web applications to automate business processes has attracted people tremendously in the last few years. This has opened avenues for small scale start-ups and increased the demand for IT professionals across all domains. Every organization, irrespective of the magnitude of its operations, requires an IT department to be setup and managed by IT professionals.
Some of the prominent and fast emerging areas under IT domain are managed services, software development, cyber law, telecom networks, security services, data storage, business intelligence and consultation services.
The IT sector is one of the most dynamic sectors and it plays a very important role in shaping the future of the nation as well as the world. India is considered a preferred and reliable partner for outsourcing ofIT solutions and this enhances the potential of this industry.

For those who may have interest, My Story is under the tab About Spiritual Trauma Recovery. It is a bit long, and in all honesty, it took a fair bit out of me. I was kind of scared to put it OUT THERE, and yet, I knew that there were a number of people who had been spiritually abused and/or traumatized. I had been inundated with the message(s) of "you're just bitter with the church," "you're making it up," "it couldn't have been THAT bad," among other things. I gave up talking about it, although I was pretty grieved with the whole thing. I sought out counselors (sadly, some of the counselors said those messages), and some helped more than others. Now that I am in the field of psychotherapy, and have been for a while, I have developed a stronger discernment as to which counselors are good and which are not so good.
Because the topic is taboo to discuss, even now, there are few, if any professionals trained in this. There are probably fewer of those who have actually experienced this. When I was healing, I had to assemble a bunch of different treatments, as I felt comfortable, and find what worked (and for how long) for myself. As I began to work with others, and heard a lot of "I failed recovery" or work with some people who had experienced a form of spiritual trauma (heavy on the shunning and manipulation if one didn't toe the line on "truth"), we worked together on finding ways to build trust back in themselves (many times I heard, and still do, that people who have been spiritually traumatized feel like they were duped, and they should have known better), building trust in others, in churches or like institutions, and sometimes even God, if these were issues which they wanted to consider. We also worked on controlling anxiety or rage surrounding having to encounter church, religion or spirituality with family members or friends who enforced a "superior spirituality" and were manipulative or just unpleasant to be around. There is a lot of grief and loss of family, friends and just a sense of community, as well as a sense of identity.
There is usually a lot of talk around reconciliation and forgiveness. I am of the opinion that it isn't always necessary to forgive, and one can forgive some parts and not others, and not completely implode. Reconciliation is a whole different concept, and not as interrelated as one would imagine.
I make every effort not to broad-brush a group of people who hold a given set of beliefs, as I was on the other end of a broad-brush myself. I know some wonderful, kind, compassionate and loving people who hold a set of beliefs that I just can't wrap my head or heart around. I know some people who are just awful, and they share my belief system entirely. And, as the old adage goes, it isn't what you say, it really is how you say it, and how someone says something usually carries more weight than the verbiage alone. Actions do speak louder than words.

Jessica Lange
Last Tueday I went to the brand new Niemeyer Center to see the much-awaited Jessica Lange's photography exhibition. Unseen, is arranged in two parts: "Things I see" and "Mexico-On Scene", that except from the use of black and white have nothing to do with each other. Truth to be told there are high quality photos in the show but the whole turns out to be pretty basic. Perhaps it's because as my grandmother would put it "one shouldn't bite off more than you can chew" and as a photographer, Jessica Lange almost choked.

I've been looking for the perfect briefcase for as long as I can remember but the wait is now over. As if they were able to read my mind, the people at Steve Mono have done exactly what I wished for. The bags are carefully made in Spain with an exquisite leather and are inspired by "vintage photos, books or movies" from the 50's and 60's.

At this point, I haven't got over breton t-shirts yet and with the emergence of brands like Chance, I think I'll never will. Her founder and creative director states "desing, simplicity, personal style and adventure. I've always known I'll build my business around these values. The striped t-shirt is the Chance icon and anchor, but it's also just the beginning. Ultimately it's about endless possibility." I think I'm in love.

Lyell for Tocca
I jumped for joy when I discovered these pictures belong to Emma's Fletcher latest collection for Tocca. The clothing couldn't be more true to the Lyell spirit many felt in love with: scalloped hems, peter pan collars, sheer silks and fantastic coats. All topped with a vintage feeling, very sensual, a sort of refined Lolita. Such a pity their clothes are only available in New York.Tocca

Bows and Bandits
From left to right, top to bottom: Blue Cotton Summer Dress, Key Bow Necklace, Black Suede Bag.
In an increasingly globalised world, people want to stand out from the crowd. Taking advantage of this, vintage shops are living their golden age. Many of these stores are opening their doors and being different from the rest it's essential. What sets Bows and Bandits apart are their typical Austrian vintage items which they combine with more rock & roll chic pieces. The result is a quirky aesthetic but very feminine after all. To top it off, they've recently opened a new section devoted to home décor which includes a nice range of the most coveted object right now: deer antlers.

Many people will agree with me when I say that Sweden is in fashion. It's a fact. If you add french's savoir-faire, the combination becomes a winner. That is Patouf, a Swedish brand that mixes the best of french cuts with Scandinavian design. Named Rookie of the year by the Swedish fashion council, Patouf has -no doubt- a very promising future.

Tarkovsky polaroids
I've always thought photography was one of the strongest points in Tarkovsky's films and to my delight I've recently learnt that a book of his Polaroids called Bright, bright day has been published. The name couldn't be better chosen as light plays a key role in all the pictures, giving them an incredibly moving halo of mistery.

Ballet Beautiful
I don't know about you but I don't like practicing sports very much. Endorphines don't produce the analgesia effect in me or at least I don't notice it. But I know my body needs it and at last I've find a motivating activity: ballet beautiful. It's a method created by Mary Helen Bowers to strengthen and sculpt the body; in fact it was the one Natalie Portman used to prepare her Black Swan's role. It improves posture, increases flexibility and elongates limbs. If that isn't enough to persuade you, please admire the uber beautiful Bowers in the pictures above.

I am writing regarding the community hearings on school closings. I hope to explain the upsurge in anger across the city toward this process, and suggest a more productive direction.
I attended the hearing Saturday at Truman College with 500 other community residents. The meeting followed CPS' announcement of 129 schools subject to possible closing, four in our network. The agenda asked people to provide comments to help CPS decide whether to close each school.

If you need help finding the model number of the appliance you are working, on here are some common locations manufactures place model numbers. Note if you need to order a part you will need the full model number not the partial number provided on your owners manual.
Need A Part Start Here
The model number on refrigerators is going to be either in the fresh food section on the top right hand side near the door or at the bottom behind the kick plate (the kick plate is the grill at the bottom near the floor, just pull it to get it off).

Top Freezer Refrigerator
Bottom Freezer Refrigerator
The model number on most ranges is in the storage drawer or in the oven door.
The model number on most washers is either under the lid (maybe behind the lid) or on the back right at the top (should be able to see it without pulling it out). Some washers have a tag on the side so you may have to move it out to see it.
