The Fondazione TIM (TIM Foundation), set up in 2008 as the fruit of the Telecom Italia Group's Corporate Social Responsibility strategy (now Corporate Shared Value), is a corporate foundation dedicated primarily to disbursing funds, which operates in Italy and in countries where the Group has an institutional presence.
The Foundation enables the Group to concentrate and strengthen its commitment to the community, with the main aim of improving people's quality of life, pursuing its objectives through the allocation of contributions to initiatives proposed by non-profit organizations and associations.
It operates in the social field, with educational and support initiatives dedicated to the vulnerable and in any case disadvantaged categories and bands of the population; in the development of planning applied to education, training and scientific research; in the protection of the Italian historical and artistic and environmental heritage, developing innovative ways and means of enjoying and disseminating knowledge.
Listening and intercepting the needs of the community, anticipating solutions; stimulating ideas and projects within the company; supporting innovation and defining new training processes through the use of a "sustainable" technology model, are some of the main inspirations for the TIM Foundation.
The mission
To promote the culture of digital change and innovation, promoting integration, communication, and economic and social growth.
Areas of intervention
The Fondazione TIM concentrates its activities and resources in the following areas:
- Education
- The culture of innovation
- Social Empowerment
- Historic, artistic and environmental heritage
The Foundation addresses non-profit organizations and associations capable of taking concrete and solution-based action with regard to people's problems. It embraces and supports clear and detailed operational projects and plans which envisage the careful and controlled management of the resources disbursed, continuity over time of the actions taken and the benefits brought to the community, and the constant monitoring of the results and progress achieved.
In the world of education, Fondazione TIM's goal is to innovate teaching by promoting initiatives aimed at both the technological updating of Italian schools and profound innovation in teaching methods and tools.
The culture of innovation
The Fondazione TIM, by developing projects that strongly enhance the culture of innovation, aims to become a foundation that produces ideas and not one that merely finances good causes, a point of reference for the world of innovation through conferences, university lectures and research publications on topics linked to business and the history of innovation.
Social empowerment
Socially speaking, the Foundation is committed to promoting processes of change occurring in the community through the action of new technologies to benefit social enterprises, helping them to do "good well".

The Scariest Road in the World?
Unlike the Road of Death in the Yungas region of Bolivia, the Guoliang Tunnel Road in China doesn't claim hundreds of lives per year. This certainly doesn't mean it's a safe or easy drive, just that it is so remote that few people travel it.
Part of the reason for the unique openings and uneven walls is that the 3/4 mile long tunnel was actually built by hand in the 1970s to connect the village to the outside world. More fascinating pictures can be found at Dark Roasted Blend

its creepy.. seems like the road has its own life.
yes, pics of the road of death in bolivia can be seen here
check out "El camino del Rey" in Malaga, southern Spain.
i wanna take the bike down THAT!
Yes, quite dangerous, but there are several countries where hard to go or drive through like russia's roads, it's said there are two disasters in Russia: roads and those who do them :)

Place the Basic Red Sauce in a large pot. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally. Place all the remaining meatball ingredients in a large mixing bowl. Stir well with a wooden spoon to combine, then form the meat into balls by rolling about 2 tablespoons of meat between your hands. Place meatballs on a plate as they are formed. (Hint: if your hands are slightly damp, the meatballs will roll more easily and will not stick to your hands!) When all the meatballs are formed, gently place the balls into the sauce 1 at a time using a long handled spoon. Be careful - bubbling sauce splatters! Simmer the sauce uncovered, and allow the meatballs to sit undisturbed for 10 minutes before stirring. Stir the meatballs into the sauce when they rise to the top.
Simmer for an additional 20 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent the sauce from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
While sauce is simmering, cook the spaghetti in boiling salted water until al dente. Strain and toss with the olive oil. Keep warm until ready to serve.
Heat the olive oil in a 5-quart pot over medium heat. Add the onions, garlic, salt, crushed red pepper, oregano and black pepper, and cook, stirring, until soft, about 5 minutes. Place the tomatoes in a large bowl and squeeze to break into small pieces. Add the tomatoes, tomato sauce, tomato paste, water, and sugar to the pot with the onions, and stir well. Add the Parmesan rind. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Lower the heat to medium-low, and simmer uncovered for 45 minutes, stirring occasionally with a long-handled wooden spoon, until flavors have come together and sauce is thickened. Stir in the basil and let sit for 10 minutes before using.
Remove from the heat, and use as needed. You can store this sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days, or freeze it for up to 3 months.
Combine all ingredients thoroughly.

ST. LOUIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 11, 2014--
U.S. Bank announced today that it closed on several tax-credit financing
packages of more than $77 million with Dominium, a leading apartment
development and management company, to develop the century-old Arcade
Building into a mixed-use space for university classes and 282 market
rate and affordable-housing apartments.
The renovation of the 18-floor, 500,000-square-foot building at 800
Olive St. includes 202 affordable and 80 market-rate apartments, ranging
from one to three bedrooms. The affordable-housing units are
specifically designed to meet the needs of artists, offering one- to
three-bedroom apartments as well as over 13,000 square feet of artist
studio space.
"Tremendous persistence, commitment and a deep desire to support the
emergence of downtown St. Louis as an arts and innovation community kept
our team motivated to make this development come to fruition," said Zack
Boyers, chairman and chief executive officer of U.S. Bancorp Community
Development Corporation (USBCDC). "The Arcade Building is in the heart
of a now-thriving neighborhood that USBCDC is proud to have been working
to reinvigorate for many years."
Dominium plans to market the affordable housing units to artists, based
on its record of successfully leasing loft space in the Leather Trades
and Metropolitan Artist Lofts buildings in St. Louis and Schmidt Artist
Lofts in the Minneapolis/St. Paul area.
"This is the third artist loft project in St. Louis that we have
partnered on with USBCDC, and, without a doubt, no other investor in the
U.S. would have made such a complex deal happen except them," said Jeff
Huggett, vice president and project partner for Dominium of Plymouth,
Minnesota. "We are excited to provide the St. Louis region with a
development that attracts artists to the area and gives them work and
performance space to spur their creativity. Cities with flourishing
artist communities attract other artists and new residents seeking a
vibrant cultural environment. Our experience has proven that artist
lofts are economic development drivers. "
The Arcade's first two floors and mezzanine of 55,000 square feet will
be leased to Webster University for classes, a 170-seat auditorium,
community kitchen and an art gallery. This expands the Webster
University campus downtown to 85,000 square feet from 33,000 square
feet, including its presence in the Old Post Office.
Dominium projects that Webster University will be able to move in as
early as December 2015 and construction on the remaining space will
finish in January 2016. The renovation is a major part of the
much-desired redevelopment of the Old Post Office Square.
"Redevelopment of the historic Arcade Building wouldn't have been
possible without the partnership of these organizations and the
availability of tax credits, especially New Markets Tax Credits.
Breathing new life into this century-old building will move the city
forward in our goal of making downtown a hub of residential and
commercial activity for the region," said St. Louis Mayor Francis Slay.
U.S. Bank invested $77 million raised through its investments in federal
New Markets Tax Credits, federal and state historic tax credits and a
separate investment arranged from federal low-income housing tax credits.
U.S. Bank Community Lending Division provided a $44 million construction
loan, partially bridging the equity provided by USBCDC. BMO Harris Bank
provided bridge and permanent construction financing, Cornerstone
Permanent Mortgage Fund (Boston Capital Finance) provided a permanent
loan and the City of St. Louis provided a $4.8 million loan.
New Markets Tax Credits for the project were allocated by U.S. Bank, St.
Louis Development Corp., Enterprise Bank & Trust, National Trust
Community Investment Corp. and Central Bank of Kansas City. The
low-income housing credits were allocated by Missouri Housing
Development Commission, which also provided a federal HOME loan and
Affordable Housing Assistance Program tax credits.

Minneapolis-based owner, developer and manager of apartment communities
nationwide. With more than 21,600 owned and/or managed units at 192

To Understand Economies Look To Flavio Maluf
Recently, Falvio Maluf went against the prevailing wisdom of other business analysts and predicted an economic rebound, way back in August of 2016. This was remarkable, at the time, because there was a general lull in most of the business sector. Maluf is not only a long-time entrepreneur in Brazil, he is also a business world academic to which wise people are quick to listen. Not only has he made similarly accurate economic predictions in the past, he has worked to mentor his clients to help them become good investors in their own right. His commitment to the new world of more sustainable living was put into action when he started a company to supply basic materials in a sustainable way and for sustainable living purposes.
When the leading sustainable materials company, Eucatex – founded by Flavio Maluf, started supplying construction companies and various product manufacturers, a new industry bloomed. Eucatex experienced a downturn in revenues by August, just as many other companies. However, Maluf calmly predicted a period of 6 months with a much better economy. The reality has closely matched his prediction. Now, finally, several other analysts have belatedly concluded that the next 6 months will be so rosy. The worry is always a return to the serious recession experienced in 2015.
When the Industrial Confidence Index (ICI) conducted surveys with Brazil's business owners and managers, as part of their process to measure business metrics, 63 percent were showing good profit increases by the end of September, 2016. Over 1,120 leaders in Brazil's industrial sector were queried. Brazilians rely on the ICI to give an accurate picture of the status of their local economy. And Brazil has the fifth-largest economy on the planet. Maluf saw early signs, that were officially confirmed when the ICI showed over a 2 percent increase by September, to a total of 88.8 points, across the whole market.

With its 22 nominations — the most ever for a laffer in a single year — the dominance of comedy "30 Rock" is so complete, it's almost garish.
Similarly, last year's winner on the drama side, "Mad Men," also seems the front-runner.
Just as other Oscar contenders this year were overshadowed by the force of "Slumdog Millionaire," many feel that the Emmy outcome Sept. 20 is a foregone conclusion.
On the other hand, there are always surprises in awards.
A few newbies are looking to challenge that stranglehold, including "Family Guy," the animated show that is making a groundbreaking appearance in the laffer mix.
And, among other contenders, "Mad Men" could be surprised by another AMC drama, "Breaking Bad," which is riding high on critical acclaim and buzz at the moment.
"If it's somebody else's turn, that fine," said "Mad Men" creator Matthew Weiner on Thursday. "Everyone feels the same about their show. If the Academy agrees with me, great. If not, that's OK too."
Among Emmy's other juggernauts, after winning six times in the reality competition, is Emmy winner "The Amazing Race" poised for a seventh return to the stage?
And although "The Daily Show With Jon Stewart" is also on a six-year streak in the variety, music or comedy series field, spinoff "The Colbert Report" has been on a roll of late, and the once-again-hot "Saturday Night Live" could be poised to win its first Emmy in the category since 1993.
The Peacock led all broadcast nets this year, with 67 nominations, and "30 Rock" was a big reason.
All five of its key cast members scored acting noms: Tina Fey, Alec Baldwin, Tracy Morgan, Jack McBrayer and Jane Krakowski. Five of this year's 11 guest actor and actress noms went to the show.
It also pulled off four of the five nominations in the comedy writing category and three of the six in the directing field.
The stars were recognized even for their moonlighting: Fey is a guest actress nominee for her portrayal of Sarah Palin on "Saturday Night Live," while Baldwin's ad for Hulu earned a commercial nod.
"It's such a funny and smart show, and the nominations are more validating than surprising," said NBC Entertainment/Universal Media Studios co-chair Ben Silverman.
If there's any doubt that TV Acad voters were gaga over the two shows, "Mad Men" star Jon Hamm even landed a guest actor Emmy nomination for his stint on, you guessed it, "30 Rock."
The buzz around "Mad Men" has been quiet of late, but that could change as the series gears up for its third season, which bows Aug. 16.
It's probably no accident that the publicity wheels surrounding the show will start turning right as Emmy voters start making their picks on ballots that are due back to Ernst & Young on Aug. 28.
"Mad Men" also blew away the competition in the writing category, earning four out of the five nominations among dramas. (Weiner was a writer on all four of those entries.)
Whether the fourth-best "Mad Men" or "30 Rock" script was better than anything else on TV is, of course, open to debate. The two shows' dominance in the writing categories was already starting to draw fire from critics on Thursday morning.
"Fine shows, but when one program can swallow a category like that, excellent work gets overlooked," wrote Akron Beacon-Journal TV critic Rich Heldenfels. "Shouldn't there be a limit to the number of nominations for a single series in a category?"
"The Office" exec producer Greg Daniels said that while he agreed that "30 Rock" is a funny show, its four comedy writing noms meant most other shows were shut out of the race.
"I do feel that our writing staff should have been nominated for something," he said. "We had some excellent episodes this year. I don't know how the voting stuff works, the actual mechanisms of it, but just anecdotally, I know a lot of people are a little surprised that none of our writers got anything."
The sheer number of nominations for both "30 Rock" and "Mad Men" — neither of which is a big ratings grabber — also left some scratching their heads.
"I'm a big fan of ('30 Rock'), but really — 22?" wrote Miami Herald TV critic Glenn Garvin. "That says more about the state of TV comedy than it does about '30 Rock.' Similarly, AMC's anti-nostalgic 'Mad Men,' about the advertising world of the early 1960s, is terrific, but 16 nominations suggests it's turned from a series into a cult."

Watch how to make this recipe.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line six 6-inch cake pans with parchment paper.
Beat egg whites with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until foamy, about 2 minutes. Increase mixer speed to high and continue beating until soft peaks form, about 3 minutes. Gradually add 1/2 cup of the sugar, continuing to beat until stiff peaks form, about 3 minutes more.
In another large mixing bowl, cream butter and the remaining 1/2 cup of sugar on medium speed until light and fluffy and increased in volume, about 5 minutes. Add applesauce, vanilla, and eggs and mix on medium speed for 1 minute more.
Sift together flour, baking powder, and salt. Add to butter mixture and mix on medium speed for 1 minute. Pour in 3/4 cup water and mix to combine. Fold in egg whites with a large spatula.
Divide batter evenly among 6 small bowls. Starting with the lightest color, tint batter with food coloring, whisking in a few drops at a time until the desired intensity is reached. Pour each of the colored batters into a different parchment-lined cake pan (each should be half full) and bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 12 to 15 minutes.
Stack layers according to the colors of the rainbow, spreading a thin layer buttercream between each. Using an offset spatula, frost the whole cake with a thin layer of buttercream.
Place cake on a freezer-safe plate. Freeze for 15 minutes, or until buttercream is firm. Remove from freezer and cover cake in sprinkles. See how to cover a cake in sprinkles.

Charity Number: 1155472
Responders are volunteer members of the community, trained by the Ambulance Service, to respond to emergency calls through the 999 system, in conjunction with the Ambulance Service. Responders provide immediate care to patients in their area and are mobilised to 999 calls by Ambulance Control. Responders are a part of, and live in, their local community. They serve an area of approximately 3 mile radius of their base, which could be their home or place of work. They can therefore attend the scene of a medical emergency in a very short time, often arriving within a few minutes of the call and frequently whilst the caller is still on the phone. They are trained to provide Emergency Life Support and to treat patients suffering from a range of conditions.

Effects of Low Testosterone
Researchers are uncovering more and more about testosterone and how it connects to men's health. Through this research they have been able to connect the dots between certain health conditions and the low testosterone levels. Some of the major health problems that have been associated with low testosterone are:
High blood pressure
Metabolic Syndrome
Heart Disease
Low testosterone is not the only known cause for these health issues, and testosterone therapy is not the cure. However, there is a link between the two, and studies have shown health improvements for men who have taken testosterone replacement.
Reno Men's Health is the first and only exclusive Men's Testosterone Replacement Therapy clinic in Northern Nevada
Symptoms of Low Testosterone
Lack of Energy
Poor Sleep
Decreased Enjoyment of Life
Grumpiness and/or Depression
Decreased Strength & Endurance
Declining Ability to Concentrate
Reduced Muscle Mass
More Body Fat
Low Sex Drive
Weak Erections
Reno Men's Health's Goal
At Reno Men's Health, it's our goal to provide physician supervised therapy that includes regular blood work and analysis, along with a variety of different therapies, such as:

Sneakily fails to announce doing so.
IBM is reportedly joining the likes of Microsoft, AMD and Panasonic in cutting a sizable number of staff. Although unlike those other companies, Big Blue is doing so relatively surreptitiously, making no formal announcement.
IBM says the cuts are part of its usual course of business and, as such, don't warrant any specific disclosure. Although with rumours of some 4,000 staff (some one per cent of the company's workforce) being cut in the period after IBM reported its forth quarter earnings release, it's hardly surprising to hear speculation that the two instances are related.
Given IBM recorded a $4.4 billion (~£3.1 billion) net profit last quarter, a 12 per cent year-on-year growth, it seems reasonable to accept these job cuts as par for the course, rather than a radical money-saving move. Although that will be of o consolation to those no longer under IBM's employ.

Presentation folder of this issue:
First Day Cover – Text: "Wilbur Wright's last public flight – Manhattan 1909".
At the end of May 1908, Wilbur and Orville Wright separated. They went off in different directions, something they hadn't done since beginning their flying experiments. Orville returned to Dayton to start work on a Type A Flyer for the Signal Corps tests, which would take place at an army base near Washington, D.C., whereas Wilbur sailed for France where he would assemble and demonstrate a second Flyer. When Wilbur returned home in the summer of 1909, he made his first public flights in America. On 29 September 1909, as part of the great Hudson-Fulton Celebration in New York City, he flew across New York harbour and circled the Statue of Liberty at waist level.
Card inserted in the above cover - English and Dutch texts.
Aviation History: First Powered Flight - Flyer Model CH of 1913.
The Flyer Model CH (see cachet) was the Wright's first hydroplane, built in 1913; it was basically a Model C equipped for taking off and landing on water. A smaller pontoon mounted under the rudder supported the tail.
It is to be noted that the Flyer B had already been tested in this 1912 in hydroplane style. The floats attached to the bottom of the boat allowed the pilot to land and take off from a body of water.
Designed by Grover Loening under the supervision of Orville Wright, the Model G was the only flying boat built by the Wright Company (1913). In 1914, the engine was placed in the front of the hull, ahead of the pilot for the first time in a Wright aircraft.
Aviation History: First Powered Flight – Wright's Flyer Model A.
The cachet of the cover below shows the Wright's Flyer Model A aircraft, built between 1907 and 1909. It was the first two-seat aircraft in which the occupants sat upright. Orville Wright sits in the passenger seat (on the right of the pilot), while his brother Wilbur is adjusting controls. In this model, a new control system would allow the pilot to operate all controls by means of two levers, as shown on the picture.
Back of the above covers (signed certificate of authenticity).
The above FAI covers are part of the album "The History of Aviation - First Day Cover Collection" ("La Collection d'Enveloppes Premier Jour de l'Histoire de L'Aviation") containing 110 different first day covers, from all over the world, issued in commemoration of the 75th anniversary of the first engine-powered flight (1978), by The Franklin Philatelic Society under the auspices of FAI, the Fédération Aéronautique Internationale (International Aeronautical Federation), Lausanne, Switzerland. The collection is neatly arranged in a blue embossed binder with the cover page showing the FAI emblem. Each illustrated stamped envelope has descriptions in French and English.
The frame of the picture (related to the Wright Brothers) on the cover is in gold and extends to form another rectangular box across the front of the envelope where the address would normally be written. Inside this box written in French and English is History of Aviation Stamp Collection. Postally marked on cover describing the event.
On the back of the envelope is the same FAI symbol in gold that reads underneath FÉDERATION AÉRONAUTIQUE INTERNATIONALE. Beneath that, there are two paragraphs, one in French and one in English that espouse the Certificate of Authenticity. At the bottom of the envelope is the signature of Mr. Adolf "Pirat" Gehriger, the President of FAI between 1977 and 1978.
The cachet design (original art) of the lot of first day covers reports various feats of the Wright Brothers.
Background: Historical note of the flag of Bophuthatswana:
Bophuthatswana was given nominal self-rule in 1971, and became nominally independent on 6 December 1977. The blue and orange colours used on the philatelic material of this issue are similar to those of the homeland's flag.
The blue symbolises the infinity of the sky and the striving for progress and development. The orange bar refers to the golden path, which must be taken by the Tswana people in order to bring this development to fruition. The leopard's face is symbolic of the authority necessary to lead the people to the development of their potential. Leopards are traditional symbols of authority for the Tswana people.
The leopard's face can also be seen on the presentation folder and the first day cover.

Friends, how do you cope with fabric storage issues? And where do you start when your space feels overwhelming?
"Your ally badge ... you give it back at the end of every day. You give it back, and you earn it the next day."
|This lovely print can be found here
Bring everything out in the open. Go through every drawer, closet, bin, bag, box, nook and cranny. Start sorting, keep, donate, sell, garbage (0r freecycle-it is amazing what some folks will take off your hands). Keep only the stuff that you love and know you will use. Sort into fabric types, knits, wovens, ribbing , lining, etc. Put back onto shelving, or use clear bins. You tend to forget it you don't see it. For quilts some folks find it easier to cut into usable pieces such as strips or squares of equal size. Then when you want to start a project, most of the cutting is done. Go through your patterns, notions, thread and gadgets and do the same. It is much easier to organize a smaller amount of stuff, and stuff you really appreciate. Good luck and happy sewing! BarbReplyDelete
Good luck with your resolutions! I don't enter my sewing room since november because of the disorganized fabric scraps, unfinished projects, pattern papers on the ground... This is very overwhelming but I don't know where to start, I need advices too :)ReplyDelete
Chris found a lovely Ikea double door wardrobe on craigslist for free! I use the shelving side for fabric storage and the rod side to hang up my PDF patterns. I have a small bin underneath the patterns for small pieces (1 yard or less) of fabric.
My goals for this year are similar - save, save, save and create from my stash. Intention is my mantra for this year.
Wishing you luck, Meg! My 2016 resolution is also to be more financially mindful. I've finally paid off my student loans, but things are tight. I hope to also chip away at the mental list of projects I have lined up & prepped, but just haven't made time to sew yet. It can start to feel overwhelming! Cheers to tackling it all in 2016!ReplyDelete
Best of Luck on the goals Meg! I think they are totally doable. I too get overwhelmed when my space is a mess. Last year - I had hubby put gorilla type shelving up and I refolded and touched every single piece of fabric. Sadly I've added lots more to the shelves and need to stop adding and start sewing. I also find if I cut too much out at once nothing will get sewn. I'm working on that. gReplyDelete
Oh gosh, my sewing space is completely overwhelming at the moment!! I get so little time to sew these days (and it usually comes to an abrupt halt when a child wakes up) that I never take the time to tidy it. It's reached the point where it is both my sanctuary and my guilt-inducing space all at once...! :( must do better...!!!
Also - my gosh you've sewn so much this month already!! Wow!! I'm super impressed :)
Very impressed with your sewing so far this month! I am currently reading blogs rather than sewing even though I have tonnes I want to make! I was feeling the same about my space after christmas, so last week I had a sort out - I had kept all sorts of clothes because I liked the fabric thinking 'that will be useful one day' Well, that day has not arrived for the best part of 10 years so I was ruthless and took 3 black bin bags of clothes and some fabric to one of my local charity shops today. I have given 2 bags of scraps to my primary school for collages and I now feel like I can go in my room without feeling weighed down by all my stuff. I also went trough all my tools and notions and grouped like things with like, which has made finding stuff much easier. Hope that helps a little. I did all this over the course of a week which made it seem less of a massive task.ReplyDelete
Oooh your sewing space is wonderful Meg! All I can say is that I'm itching to come over and get your patterns all back in their envelopes instead of in gallon sized bags.
I love those two wood basket thingies you have on your wall above your machine. So cute and a great use of that space. :D
Visual clutter is the worst... makes it so hard to focus; I'm the same way.
I end up just throwing my arms up 1x a month and giving my room a good clean/purge. I think it's admirable that you're keeping your scraps to make something with - mine leave the house quickly as I can't bear to have them all about me.
My goals for this year are pretty much the same! We've got mostly credit cards to deal with, particularly since my hospital bills from the baby are on that. And a little bit of student loan debt from my husband. So I'm also working from stash as much as possible. And we have a journal that we're tracking in, too!
It sounds like you're getting an impressive amount of sewing in this month! Good luck with your progress!
Wishing you very good luck and best wishes for u. love those two wood basket thingies you have on your wall above your machine. So cute and a great use of that space.

Functional fitness
for every body.
No more excuses. North Rim CrossFit offers more classes, at more times (starting at 5:30 a.m.) and FREE childcare. Whatever reason you had to not try CrossFit before, we just destroyed it.
The largest CrossFit gym in Chico, North Rim CrossFit also offers more specialty classes like cardio burn, Olympic lifting, and mobility than anyone else in town. We don't just like what we do, we live it. Our trainers practice what they preach, and we've had 8 individual and 3 team appearances at Regionals since 2012.
We are a much-welcomed relief from daily stress and struggle of life. We've got two signs in our gym: "Act Justly, Love Mercy, and Walk Humbly" And "To Love Others More Than Ourselves." These beliefs set the culture and attitude inside the gym. Our No. 1 command is to love people in a way that is counter to our culture. To love when it doesn't seem possible. To serve when it is difficult. We are 100% about providing a safe, welcoming and encouraging environment for our members.

Akita Puppy Training
Understanding Nature Before You Begin
To be confident about what you are doing and to find the fastest, most effective route to success, it is vital to first understand characteristics of this breed that will affect training. It is only a matter of following a method that fits this particular breed.
1. In regard to repetition (going over a certain command over and over until they understand it ) that works. The Akita is different. They have a very low tolerance for this and quickly become bored.
The fix: The key to this is to offer short drills in intervals. One tip to remember is that it is best to choose at least 2 different exercises and switch back and forth to keep his or her attention. More is ahead with details.
during training is unpredictable. Expect this. They are independent and will often experiment with different answers to your commands.
3. With even basic commands such as "Sit" an owner may need to teach this several different way. For example, when he or she is standing next to you, when they are in front of you, etc. Many times, it is only then that there will be a true understanding that the command means to "Sit" no matter where they are positioned in relation to you.
The time period between 2 months and 4 months is a short one, but a very important one. When broken down into important behavioral phases, this is a critical time of the
period. It is a time of intense bonding. This is when he or she will soak in as much of the world as they can. It is imperative that your puppy be taken out into the world to experience as much as possible and to be exposed to as much as possible.
The socialization that is learned at this young age will be a foundation for life. Since what is learned basically lasts forever and will be the basis for all future knowledge, rules should be taught now. This includes teaching him or her that you (and other humans in the home) are the boss. If not, this breed will assert himself as leader and be very difficult to training.
Leadership to a puppy is established a bit different than when reinforcing it when they are older.
Aside from the basics of humans taking turns with feedings and with all people entering and exiting the house first, with a young pup, you will also want to create a bond.
This is done with a lot of loving, gentle, firm regular handling. The puppy should be handled quite frequently and on a regular basis by all members of a family. His mouth should be gently opened and his teeth examined (this is vital so that he or she will allow for dental cleanings later).
He should be lifted up onto tables, his feet should be handled gently, nails trimmed… coat brushed, baths given…. All of the elements that will be a part of his daily (or weekly) life. If he is shown that this is normal, he will go along with it all as he matures.
There are many misconceptions, mistruths and stereotypes regarding the element of training an Akita such as:
• They are not able to learn
• They are too stubborn to be taught
• An adult cannot be taught new tricks or commands
But the biggest myth is that you should not begin teaching a puppy until his is 6 months old. This simply is not true.
The 7 or 8 week old has the same capacity as the 6 month old. He does lack a bit of adult level stamina, coordination and concentration, but NOT the ability to learn.
What a pup learns during the first 6 months is most lasting and enduring than at any other time. Whether you purposefully choose to train him or you do not, he WILL be learning. Therefore, when left alone, he will "learn" that he can do whatever he wishes and that humans do not give commands. Therefore, it is important to purposefully train him.
If You Waited
If you thought that you were doing the right thing by holding off until an older age, do not worry about it…what's done is done…all is not lost. It may just take a bit more patience on your part…it may take a bit longer for training to be at a level of expected success, but it can be done. All that is needed is your commitment. If you give up, your Akita is not going to give you a pep talk or continue on his own. So take charge, find that enthusiasm and be confident.
Your Job
Your job is to direct in a consistent and encouraging atmosphere. Your goal will be to guide your Akita through the progression of executing a new behavior, rewarding baby steps along the way. Keep sessions short. 10 minutes for 1 command. 15 minutes if you will be switching back and forth between 2.
You can do this more than once a day…2-3 times, spaced out over the entire day will be just fine. The only rule is to not do this closer to bed time than 1 hour. At that time of night, you will want to encourage an easy atmosphere of winding down, with lights lowered…to encourage sleep.
One of the most important tips is to give reward immediately, at the very second that they listen to what you commanded. The mistake that many owners make is rewarding 10 seconds after…as this may be seen by the Akita as receiving a reward for a completely different behavior or action on their part!
A motivator, or reward, can come in different forms… a food morsel, a toy or praise.
is enjoyed by all, is quick to dispense and be swallowed…and is a clear way to signal a correct response.
You will want to keep motivation going by having the treat be something really special. It will not do much good to have it be a snack that you would be giving to him or her anyway, right?
"Must Haves"
The key to keeping a dog motivated is to keep him or her challenged, and achieving regular victories. Try to not let your Akita be wrong more than 2 or 3 times in a row. If they are "wrong" more than 3 times, they can quickly become discouraged and not wish to listen to you. To do this, if he or she is struggling and cannot do something after 3 attempts… go back to an easier step for a while so that he or she can receive a reward for doing something correctly.
Remember, that progress can be slow… keeping an even temper and consistent training method requires patience. Do not expect your Akita to comprehend unless you have learned how to be consistent and patient.
Your Akita needs to understand at which times they are under your control and at which times he or she has been released. When instructed to go "Down" or to "Stay" for example, your dog is expected to stay in that position until you "release" them with your "release word". After all, you won't want them to sit for hours! "OK" is the most frequently used release word. When a session has ended, saying "OK" releases him or her to play or do any activity independently.

• Sit
• Down
• Stay
• Come… You will want to read the comprehensive

It's a well-designed world. Well if you live in the land decorated by Lulu's Furniture & Decor it certainly is! Lulu recently moved into our neck of the woods (right next door to Goldyn and below Linger) and when they found out that we were looking to turn our downstairs entry into a space that brings the 1920's feel to anna bé (a la Five), they offered to help us out. That's just the kind of good neighbors they are (is anyone else hearing the StateFarm song?). If you're lucky enough to be stopping by anna bé in the next few weeks make sure you take a few minutes to check out the entry downstairs and give yourself enough time to check out their shop after shopping with us.

Special Feature: Extreme Ice
Breathtakingly vast, Greenland's ancient ice sheet turns out to be as fragile as it is formidable. Environmental photographer and Extreme Ice Survey founder James Balog has spent the past five years documenting the impact of Earth's big thaw on glaciers there and in Iceland, Nepal, Alaska, and the U.S. Rocky Mountains in a stunning new book, Ice: Portraits of Vanishing Glaciers.

Followers of the frequently entertaining Independent Players may have noticed that the Elgin theater group has been rather quiet of late. However, they`re back with a new show this month, their first since last August, and they have announced a full 1985 calendar of six productions.
The Players are winding up a three-week run of the hit musical comedy
``They`re Playing Our Song`` at 8 p.m. Friday and Saturday in the lower level playhouse of the Hemmens Auditorium in downtown Elgin. Opening weekend was distinguished by large audiences of the group`s faithful, providing new hope that the Players can put its past season, when it accumulated nettlesome budget deficits, behind it.

To write about sinterklaas and black pete, or ebola? Some white pete talk about a cartoon show forewarning last century. How easy for puppets and bots to ignore the first and second outbreaks. I would state that this shows why bots cannot replace real people, but after talking to some white pete, I realize that the bots have been modeled after them. More importantly, with the agenda to create dumbed down transhumans, the dumb bots seem to fit the plans perfectly.
Plenty of dumb bots in WP too. It does not deserve a separate article, because WP IS a bot. It can do bot all by itself. It does not need real people. Not real people writing, not real people reading. Welcome into the future that is now, but most cannot see. Twitter bots more popular than real people tweeting? Why would only twitter use bots then? If bots can timely tweet, then surely, they can also put together posts and comments. Right?
