The benefits thus far are beyond what I ever thought could be achieved in this environment. - Christopher D. Gates USS NIMITZ Reactor Department Asst. Reactor Maintenance Officer
South Lyon, MI (PRWEB) January 22, 2014
User Solutions has announced immediate availability of Resource Manager for Excel (RMX) v2014.
The new version handles 900K+ rows of data for the Master Scheduling of Bills of Resources (BORs). It is further expanded to handle 1K+ time buckets for the Resource Loading Calendar per scheduling scenario, including "what if" analyses. Most compelling is RMX's ability to maintain its reputation for speedy execution (1 – 3 seconds) crunching this increased amount of data, in near real-time. This release positions RMX as an ideal Finite Capacity and Production Scheduling complement to ERP systems for operations of all sizes.
By combining affordability and ease-of-use for small to medium sized firms with powerful reporting and open integration for larger operations, Resource Manager for Excel (RMX) allows critical resources such as labor, materials and work centers (BORs) to be efficiently scheduled. End users can use their familiar Excel spreadsheet to assist them in delivering products and services on-time, reducing cycle times and inventory shortages, planning labor and level loading work center requirements, and tracking schedules.
RMX's expanded v2014 can update the entire schedule of 1K jobs, with each containing 1K entries of labor/work centers/materials across 1K time buckets (days/weeks/months) within seconds. This functionality basically represents the core engine of an MRPII system. Add to that its familiarity of being within Excel, its speed being real time versus overnight batch run and its affordability at the discretionary fund level ($1K - $3K).
The USS NIMITZ Assistant Reactor Maintenance Officer, Christopher D. Gates, was tasked with the challenge of maintaining a maintenance schedule both in port and at sea for the supercarrier of the United States Navy, and the lead ship of her class. According to Chris, "The problem I was trying to solve was level loading the over 26,000 preventive maintenance program items due on a periodic based schedule along with the immediate 5,000 corrective maintenance jobs that are outstanding. Both sets of tasks rely on common resources and I needed an easy and reliable method to level load the never ending task list, while accommodating hourly changes in priorities and finite capacity constraints. Add to that, the Navy's need for a schedule 2 years out due to dry dock and budgetary constraints and you can start to appreciate the challenges we face in creating an efficient maintenance and production schedule."
Chris reports, "The benefits thus far are beyond what I ever thought could be achieved in this environment. Short notice schedule changes are no longer an issue; I have RMX running all day and only have to edit one cell of one page to be off and running again. With this new version of RMX, long range planning is easy, quick and accurate."
Jim Convis, Product Manager for User Solutions, reported that "RMX is designed to be a flexible, planning, scheduling, and tracking tool to increase efficiencies as evidenced by its application for both production and maintenance environments. The Navy's immediate, successful implementation, including MAC platform requirements and integration with their disparate systems, is a testament to RMX's reputation of adapting quickly to the customer's environment."
Resource Manager for Excel ranges from $1200-$2400 for a single user and simply twice that price for a 5 user license. Trial versions including training videos and complete manual are available at our Product Matrix.

There are a lot of clubs that can be used when golfing. However, many people, especially those that are new to the game, get confused by which clubs they really need. Should they start out with a small set of clubs or do they need a bag full of choices to pick from? Is there really a difference between one club and others or is there one that may work better than another? To help you figure out what you may need in your golf bag, here are a few recommendations from professional golfers.
Many golfing coaches say that if you are a beginner, less is more. Instead of complicating your choices by having every club available, you should start out with a basic set. This will often have a putter, a few clubs for long range shots, and clubs that will get you out of a bind. If you buy a beginner set, they are possibly going to have a larger head on them, which will make them more forgiving while you are trying to learn. It also eliminates some of the guesswork over deciding which club will get you to where you need to be.
You may also want to choose a club that has the right type of shaft for your gameplay. Do you need one that bends or should you stick with a shaft that stays stiff? This is determined by how long you hit your drives. If you hit hard, you will definitely want a club that is stiffer. If you are unsure, you can talk to a golf shop or a trainer to help you figure out what your ideal stiffness would be.
Another area that a professional can help you with is determining the length you need in your shaft. A longer shaft is ideal for some people while others need a shorter one. This is also based on your skill level and whether you have a consistently smooth swing. Using a long shaft with an inconsistent swing, could make it harder for you to play well.
It is recommended that the club head for new players be cast iron. They typically have a larger sweet spot on them to ensure that when you hit the ball, it will go in the direction that you need for it to go. This is also true for intermediate players who still have an "off" swing at times.

Lord Campbell of Croy asked Her Majesty's Government:
The Parliamentary Secretary, Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food (Earl Howe): My Lords, possible improvements to monitoring and control of fishing activity and the setting of quotas and fishing methods in international waters are governed by various regional fisheries management bodies throughout the world. Additionally, those are among the important issues before the United Nations Conference on Straddling Stocks and Highly Migratory Species which meets for its third session in New York from 27th March to 14th April.
Lord Campbell of Croy: My Lords, I am grateful to my noble friend for his reply. However, how can regional conservation agreements work satisfactorily if fishing boats can only be inspected in international waters by their own country? The referee should surely be neutral. While the Northwest Atlantic Fisheries Organisation, for example, provides for a joint
Earl Howe: My Lords, a number of ideas are being discussed which we believe look promising. One is for an observer to be stationed on every fishing vessel with the power to call up an inspection vessel if evidence of a serious offence became apparent. A further suggestion is that that observer should be of a different nationality from the nationality of the vessel in question. If an inspection vessel confirmed the apparent offence, the fishing vessel would be required to submit to a full inspection at the nearest port, and to be held there. Another idea is for satellite transponders to be installed on every vessel to track its movements and activities.
Lord Carter: My Lords, is the Minister aware that about 90 per cent. of the world's fish stocks are under the jurisdiction of developing countries? The sale of licences by these countries to foreign fleets of industrial trawlers is doing immense damage to the indigenous peasant fishermen and to fish stocks. For example, the European Union has 16 agreements with African countries. Do the Government agree that that problem should be addressed by the United Nations fisheries conference?
Earl Howe: My Lords, I am aware that these matters have been raised in press reports recently. The European Union has a number of agreements with various third world countries to, I may say, the mutual benefit of both parties.
We are always concerned about the state of the stocks in the waters of the countries with which we have agreements and, moreover, of the needs of the local fishermen. Whenever possible we seek to promote joint ventures either in fishing or in fish processing and associated industries, again to the mutual benefit of both sides.
Lord Boyd-Carpenter: My Lords, can my noble friend say what can be done to check Spanish intrusion into other people's fishing areas?
Earl Howe: My Lords, my noble friend raises a topical subject. One of the problems of enforcing the common fisheries policy in particular is that a great many national authorities are involved, on the high seas and in national waters, in policing fishing activity and the quantities of fish that are landed. There is every reason, therefore, to seek ways to strengthen the day-to-day co-operation between these authorities and, alongside that, to work towards a strengthened Community inspectorate which would help to police member states' national arrangements more effectively.
Lord Bruce of Donington: My Lords, in pursuing the topical case referred to by the noble Lord, Lord Boyd-Carpenter, is not one of the difficulties that there is no effective inspection at Spanish ports, whereas there is effective inspection at ports in the United Kingdom? In Spain the inspectors seem mainly to be quartered in Madrid, which is somewhat remote from the Atlantic Ocean if my information is correct.
Earl Howe: My Lords, I understand that Spain currently has 50 full-time inspectors working for the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food.
Lord Bruce of Donington: Where?
Earl Howe: My Lords, operating mainly from Madrid. However, they are supported by fisheries inspectors from the autonomous regional governments as well as military personnel. The Spanish Naval Marine Unit and the marine Civil Guard undertake fisheries surveillance at sea. So it is important to look at the full picture in Spain and not just part of it.
Lord Shaughnessy: My Lords, in view of the Minister's remarks about the proposed monitoring and enforcement measures being considered, how long will it take to reach a conclusion on the proposed measures? It does not matter what kind of international agreements are arrived at, unless there is a clear and effective method of enforcement the depredations of the world's fisheries will continue.
Earl Howe: My Lords, I can only agree with the noble Lord that effective enforcement is the key to conservation in the future. I cannot say precisely when an agreement might be forthcoming, although I am aware that the talks are proceeding in a thoroughly constructive manner on all sides.
Lord Tebbit: My Lords, can my noble friend say whether at any future conference on a wide scalefor example, under United Nations auspicesHer Majesty's Government would be free to pursue an independent and vigorous line of policy? Alternatively, would we be in any way encumbered by commitments towards our neighbours and partners on the continent?
Earl Howe: My Lords, in many of the fisheries agreements under the spotlight the United Kingdom is represented by the European Union, which is the contracting party to the fisheries agreement. Therefore,
Lord Dean of Beswick: My Lords, since Spain appears to be acting in a predatory manner wherever fish are to be found, is not urgency of the utmost importance in applying decisions when they are made? Otherwise, the world's fishing stocks may be damaged beyond repair.
Earl Howe: Yes, my Lords, it is an urgent matter. To a degree, we are hampered by the development of technology. Although it shows promising signs, that technology has not yet been fully tried and tested. I refer principally to the notion of installing satellite transponders in vessels. We see them as having a helpful role to play in the future.
Lord Kennet: My Lords, is the noble Earl aware that the idea of transponders has been urged on the Government for at least 15 years and possibly on previous governments? Does he maintain that transponders are as difficult to develop if the message is to be received only by an aircraft as opposed to being received by satellite? I believe that that is not the case.
Earl Howe: My Lords, unfortunately I cannot give a precise answer to the noble Lord, although clearly the question is pertinent. The installation of satellite transponders is being undertaken on a trial basis by all member states in the Union. Those member states are required to report to the Commission prior to the middle of the year, after which a considered view will be taken.
Lord Campbell of Croy: My Lords, are the British Government preparing for the expected confrontation in the west Atlantic this summer when the tuna season re-opens?
Earl Howe: My Lords, the Government hope that conflict in the tuna fishery this summer can be avoided and we shall work with all concerned to ensure that everything possible is done to avoid provocative actions and that agreed regulations concerning net lengths and so on are complied with.
Lord Bruce of Donington asked Her Majesty's Government:
The Minister of State, Foreign and Commonwealth Office (Baroness Chalker of Wallasey): My Lords, a number of issues are already on the agenda for next year's IGC. Others may be
Lord Bruce of Donington: My Lords, is the Minister aware that I find that Answer slightly unsatisfactory? According to Article 189, there is a difference in the legal treatment of a regulation and a directive. A regulation issued on behalf of the Community becomes immediately enforceable throughout member states, including our own. A directive does not fall into quite the same category; it has already been the subject of some disputed judgment in which one is informed that the Home Office took one line and the Foreign Office took anothersuch as with the Van Duyn case. Does the Minister think that, in order to clear up the ambiguity, it would be far better that the matter should be raised for discussion and further clarification at the Inter-Governmental Conference? The consequences for the British legal systemwhich one hopes are still not to be ignoredought to be raised on that occasion.

TÜV SÜD's guide to buying prams
Expectant parents only want what is best for their offspring, and prams, pushchairs and strollers are naturally no exception. They need to look as stylish as possible and offer a multitude of functions. Today, there are so many colours and models on offer that consumers are quickly spoilt for choice. However, when making a purchase decision, parents should put their child's safety first. TÜV SÜD product professional Robert Ziegler has some tips about what to look out for.
Prams are sold in specialist baby shops, but are also found at department stores and discounters now and again. But how can parents spot a good pram or stroller? An important point to note in this context is that parents should not base their purchase decision on stylish looks alone. A visit to a baby shop for some professional advice is a sensible first step. Parents can prepare for the purchase by researching on the Internet in advance and reading the relevant test pages to get an overview of what's available. In addition, families should sit down and think about their priorities. The question of whether to choose a pram, a pushchair or a stroller is as central as the issue of the model's quality, safety and reliability.
Providing sensible guidance – TÜV SÜD Octagon and GS mark
As the main criterion for the parents' purchase decision, the pram or stroller should bear the TÜV SÜD Octagon or GS mark. These test labels confirm that the model offers a high level of safety and stability and that it fulfils the normative requirements of the European standard on 'wheeled child conveyances' – in other words, pushchairs and prams. "The EN 1888 standard governs the requirements for parking and braking devices, the use of certain chemicals, the locking mechanism and any warning signs on the pram", explains Ziegler. Testing also covers the pram's durability and longevity.
Safety and stability
To ensure stability, the pram's wheel gauge should be as wide as possible. However, keep in mind that prams with a very wide wheel gauge may no longer fit through narrow spaces such as supermarket aisles. Given this, prams and pushchairs should be as wide as necessary – but as narrow as possible. The parking brake must be easy to apply and accessible at all times. This is particularly important if parents intend to attach a ride-on board for transporting siblings. To ensure stability, sibling seats should only be attached to strollers that are designed and tested for this purpose and labelled with the TÜV SÜD or GS mark. Mesh bags attached to the handlebar are only suitable for transporting lightweight articles. The same applies to the shopping baskets on the base of the pram. Ziegler warns, "If overloaded, prams and pushchairs might topple over." The TÜV SÜD Octagon and the GS mark also guarantee that none of the moving parts that can be reached by the infant pose any danger of trapping or pinching little fingers. All articulated joints must come with safety mechanisms to avoid accidental collapse of the pram or pushchair. The same applies to the reversible handlebars, which change the direction a pushchair faces. They too must be protected by an additional safety lock. An adjustable safety strap and rounded edges minimise injury risks. Reflectors affixed to the fabric increase visibility in darkness and poor weather.
The right choice for any age
Newborns need a stable lie-flat mattress. Pram and pushchair combinations are the right choice, as they come with a lie-flat carrycot which can accommodate the infant for the first six months of its life. The carrycot is removable and the pram can be converted into a pushchair later on. This combination can thus be used for children up to 15 kg (corresponding roughly to an age of around 3 years). TÜV SÜD expert Ziegler notes, "Pushchairs are unsuitable for newborns and should not be used before infants can sit up comfortably and safely on their own. Purchasers should also make sure that the stroller or pushchair has a high backrest that provides sufficient support to their infant." Travel systems are an alternative to conventional prams; their frames can be combined with various attachments, such as a car seat, carrycot or pushchair seat. All individual parts should have been safety tested for their intended use and identified by the TÜV SÜD Octagon or GS mark. For larger families, twin or tandem pushchairs might present an interesting alternative.
Consider individual preferences
Of course, in spite of all safety concerns, comfort should never fall by the wayside. Older children want to feel as comfortable as possible in their buggy, pushchair or stroller. For parents it is important that the model is easy to push, adjust, fold and unfold. Parents should also think about their own priorities. Will the pushchair be used primarily in the city and on public transport? If so, a smaller pushchair with easily manoeuvrable and lockable wheels will be the right choice. The pushchair should also be lightweight and easy to lift. Parents who frequently transport their pushchair in the car will also be happy about a light pushchair that folds compactly. Before you make the purchase, check that your model of choice actually fits into your car. By contrast, outdoor fans who plan 'off-road' trips in the countryside and forests should go for an all-terrain pushchair (ATP) with large pneumatic tyres to cushion bumpy terrain. The choice of colour is up to the purchaser, of course. However, Robert Ziegler has a tip: "Bright colours provide better visibility and will not fade." Parents intending to use their stroller for jogging or inline skating should make sure that their model of choice is designed for this purpose. While many pushchairs offer sleek, dynamic style, not all of them are made for sports use. These products display the warning "Not suitable for jogging or skating". For these activities, special jogging strollers are available and should also carry a certification mark.
Behaviour is key for safety
Even parents who heed all the safety marks and purchase tips need to always make personally sure their children are protected. As Ziegler knows from experience, "Most accidents are caused by lack of attention – for example, if a child is not strapped in and falls out of the pushchair, or if the brake is not applied and the pushchair accidentally rolls away." By making sure that all locks and safety mechanisms are in place before the pushchair is used, and avoiding overloading it when shopping, parents will be on the safe side and can enjoy fun outings with their pram or pushchair.

"After face-to-face meetings with several different candidates, we chose Venus as agent for the sale of our home, as she clearly displayed the most authoritative grip on home value potential. She was patient with us as she knew of our intentions to sell as soon as we finished renovating the basement, and even acted as a consultant for us so we weren't spending money that would generate diminishing returns. She helped us get maximum value on our sell, so it was a no-brainer that we used her services to search our next house. At a time when competition between prospect buyers borderlined on ridiculous, Venus helped us compose a strategic offer that beat the others at a minimal margin and got us exactly the house we wanted."

"I worked with Venus and the Vindiola group to sell our home and buy a new one. This was the best experience I have had working with a realtor. I had considered selling my home for a long time, but was overwhelmed by the prospect. My wife and I finally decided we needed to move forward and I contacted Venus, who had been referred to me in the past by a friend. I am so glad we called her! We had great support from her and the team at every step of the process. We had our house on the market very quickly (within a few weeks) and had multiple offers the first day. We then found our perfect new home the day after ours went on the market. We were concerned about getting everything lined up so that we didn't have to do a double move, but Venus helped us negotiate to get both closings done on the same day. Venus was always very responsive and we got our questions answered at any time. She went above and beyond to make the entire experience as easy as possible for us. I highly recommend her and the team and I would gladly use them again if I have the need in the future."

It took us almost 2 years to find the perfect home due to unexpected personal challenges along the way; but even though certain things that came up that were out of our control Steve maintained by our side and was very patient with us until we were in a good place to move forward with purchasing a home. He was very helpful, knowledgeable, and responsive every step of the way of our searching and purchasing process. My husband and I would definitely recommend Steve as a great Realtor you can rely on to be on your side when purchasing a home."

Research has picked up that Home Guard Section Leader George Inwood (aged 34), who was awarded the George Cross for rescuing several people from a gas filled cellar in Bishop Street, was from Edward Road in Balsall Heath.
Bishop Street runs parallel to Sherlock Street, down near Bristol Street. There are still many old buildings left there and visiting it now it is easy to imagine the events on the evening of Tuesday 15th October 1940. Inwood knew the risk to his own life in continuing the rescue attempts in the cellar, but he carried on regardless. It was this devotion to duty and sacrifice which earned him the posthumous award – a year later. He was buried in Yardley Cemetery, his gravestone carrying a George Cross design. His George Cross was donated to Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery.
A walk along the canal towpath from Bournville to Kings Norton.. This was a historical drama trail with music and was accompanied by a canal boat.
On Monday, September 22nd 2015 a Blue Plaque was unveiled in honour of John Bowen,( 1844 to 1926), a renowned builder who had his works in George Street. The plaque is now installed at Ark Tindal School - built by Bowen.
David Bradnock (Deputy Lord Lieutenant), Tim Watts (High Sheriff for West Midlands), Philip Bowen (High Sheriff Powys), and Michael Hogan (Worcestershire's High Sheriff) help launch a Blue plaque in honour of Victorian Birmingham builder John Bowen
The book "Honest John" by Anthony Collins can be bought for £5 plus postage from his website about John Bowen. This is a beautifully put together book and well worth picking up.

The Takos Visitor Center at North Point sits where the Bay Shore Park Restaurant once stood. Completed in 2002, this beautiful facility resembles the structures once found in Bay Shore Park and boasts nature and history-themed exhibits, a science classroom, a large conference room and public restrooms.
The building was named after Steve Takos, a volunteer who spearheaded the renovation efforts in the park. Hours are Memorial Day weekend through Labor Day, Wednesday through Sunday, 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.
The park features several miles of well-marked and relatively level trails, abundant with wildflowers in spring and wildlife throughout the year. Birdwatching is especially popular on the Black Marsh Trail.

North Point features two fishing piers (including the 1,000-ft. Crystal Pier) and a long shoreline that present good fishing opportunities. Anglers ages 16- and-older are required to possess a Maryland Tidal Fishing License.

The Wildlands (along with the park's wetland area) provide opportunities to observe local birds and wildlife including: muskrats, beavers, foxes, otters, osprey, great blue herons and bald eagles.
North Point has been continuously farmed for almost 350 years, with evidence of human occupation dating back almost 9,000 years. During the War of 1812, local militia skirmished with British troops seeking to invade Baltimore. The British route to Baltimore passed through the present-day park and is known today as the "Defenders Trail."
During the first half of the 20th-century, a small part of the park was the site of the Bay Shore Amusement Park. Built in 1906, Bay Shore was a bustling and attractive park offering recreation and relaxation in a setting of gardens, pathways and Edwardian architecture. The park included a dance hall, bowling alley, restaurant and a 1000-ft. pier jutting out into the Chesapeake Bay. Bay Shore Park was accessible by trolley from Baltimore.
Bay Shore Park was demolished in the late-1940s when Bethlehem Steel bought the land. The property was acquired by Maryland Department of Natural Resources in 1987 to provide resource protection and limited access to the Bay.
The North Point Volunteers sponsor numerous activities throughout the year, including an Easter Egg Hunt, Earth Day clean-up, the Youth Fishing Derby and Santa's Workshop. Their volunteers have restored and continue to maintain the fountain that was a centerpiece of the old Bay Shore Park. For more information, contact park headquarters, stop by the North Point Visitor Center during operating hours, or visit their website at: www.northpointstatepark.homestead.com.
North Point State Park is one of Maryland's most popular parks and serves a very high volume of visitors during summer weekends and holidays. To ensure the safety of our visitors and protection of the park's natural resources and facilities, the park has a limited capacity.
During periods of high visitation, when the park's capacity is reached, the park will be closed and traffic will be turned away from the park entrance. When that occurs, no additional vehicles / visitors will be allowed to enter the park, including those with members of their party who may already be in the park. If you are not traveling in the same vehicle with others in your party, we suggest that you all arrive at the same time.
When the park is closed due to being full to capacity, individuals and groups with shelter reservations will be admitted, as parking is reserved for those purposes.
Based on recent experience and visitation trends, and depending on good weather, North Point State Park will likely fill to capacity and close on Memorial Day weekend, and many other weekends during the course of the summer. Please take this into consideration when planning your trip.

Opinion in the Stuff.tv office is divided as to whether this minimalist gaming mouse from BMW Designworks USA and PC case makers Thermaltake is a thing of beauty, or whether it resembles a power tool.
The Level 10 M mouse's hollowed-out design allows adjustments for a customised fit while hexagonal cutouts should alleviate sweaty palms during particularly nerve-racking dungeon raids and fragging sessions.
No release date or pricing has been revealed as of yet so we'll have to carry on looking at our normal mice in disgust until more info surfaces.

Guest poem sent in by Steve Ornish
(Poem #1104) Untitled
What grieves me is not What lies within the heart, But those things of beauty Which never can be . . . They are the shapeless shapes Which pass, though sorrow Cannot know them Nor love dream them. They are as though sadness Were a tree and, one by one, Its leaves were to fall Half outlined in the mist.
When Fernando Pessoa, a Portuguese poet, died in 1935 his work was little known, even in Portugal. Over the last few decades, his fame has spread and his poetry translated into many languages. For me, this poem speaks to the grief--not from an actual loss (i.e., "not what lies within the heart)--but from the unrealized experiences that occur in relationships throughout one's life "those things of beauty which can never be." The paradox is that we are mostly unconscious of these missed opportunities: "the shapeless shapes which pass" which cannot be known through sorrow, love, or dreams. -Steven A. Ornish, MD Biography and some links: [broken link] http://www.poets.org/poets/poets.cfm?prmID=771

|KUTNO: łódzkie
The first documentation of Jews in Kutno (Moses, Solomon and Lewku) was 1513, but certainly the Jews lived here before that date. In 1753, a fire destroyed the town and the local Jewish community documents. Jews developed commerce reaching even Germany and the Netherlands. The Jews of traded livestock to make leather goods, shoes, and felt items. Skins of wild animals like hares, foxes also were used. Crafts such as tailoring were common. An additional source of income was breeding horses and cattle so 29% of animals belonged to Jews. In 1765, 928 Jews lived there. The 19th century was busy with construction of a railway line to transport goods from the factories of Lodz and construction of the brick synagogue and many Jewish communal organizations. The Jewish population multiplied: 1800-1,376 (70.2%) to 1908-8,978. Kutno's rabbi, Jechiel Jeszaja Trunk, for thirty years was a Haskalah, or Jewish Enlightenment, advocate. [Note: That probably was Israel Yehoshua TRUNK, not Jechiel Jeshaya TRUNK who was his great-grandson and a Yiddish writer in New York.]
Kutno is also the home town Asza Shalom, Yiddish playwright, prose writer, and essayist. At the beginning of the 20th century, the Jewish population began to decrease due to WWI, movement to Lodz, and immigration to America so in 1921, 6,784 Jews lived there. The Germans occupied Kutno on September 15, 1939. The synagogue was destroyed in the first months with many Jews taken for forced labor. A Judenrat was appointed as early as November 1939, with increasing numbers of refugees from nearby, but the ghetto was officially established in June 1940 on the grounds of the "Konstancja" sugar factory for more than 7,000 Jews. Franz Hansen, a Wehrmacht soldier posted there, photographed the Jews moving to the ghetto surrounded with barbed wires and watchtowers. Since several factory buildings had been bombed, many Jews lived outdoors. Black markets and smuggling kept ghetto prisoners able to preserve some semblance of normality, but disease was rampant and food scarce. Liquidated at the end of March/early April 1942, the ghetto prisoners were sent to Chelmno. [May 2009]
The Kutno Jewish cemetery is located on a hill between Sobieski and Tarnowski Zdrojowa streets. Established in the 18th century, the cemetery burials are difficult to calculate. The oldest Kutna inhabitants remember hundreds, perhaps 1,000 graves before WWII. Still remaining are the ohel of Rabbi Jechiel Jeszaja Trunk and the grave of Shalom Asz. The Old Cemetery is located on a hill with trees overlooking the gravestones. Some names are etched in stones in the town's streets and backyards: Reb Johanan in an alley, Reb Moszego in a garden. Archival photos of the cemetery before WWII. Approximately 6,700 Jews (25%+) lived in Kutno (Lodz district) prior to WWII. The Nazis destroyed the cemetery using stolen gravestones for pavements, squares and residential yards occupied by the Germans. At the cemetery, they planned to build a Victory Monument to the Third Reich, but never did. In the Jewish cemetery buried, dead or murdered in the ghetto. They also executed Jews there. After the war, few kutnowscy Jews brought ashes of their loved ones from Chelmno nad Nerem to the cemetery for burial. They unveiled a monument to the victims of the Holocaust, a stylized matzevot with Mogen David and the words in Hebrew and Polish: "Eternal memory Jews murdered by the Nazi ___, buried in the fraternal grave. ___ your memory." Unknown perpetrators however, very soon destroyed the obelisk. The last burial at the cemetery took place in 1948. Later, the cemetery gradually slipped into oblivion. Gravel gathering and rubbish dump became its fate. Residents graze livestock, which at least keeps down the vegetation. A few time graves have been opened and searched of valuables. A few surviving gravestones were stolen. Gravestones or fragments for many years can be found in many cities including in Murku fair and square on the cobbles of ul. Sowińskiego. In the 1980s, thanks to the involvement of Andrej Urbaniak, a former director of the museum in Kutno, the members of the kutnowski Friends of the Earth began to recover and protect the Jewish gravestones. Gravestones from surrounding yards, streets, and gardens were gathered for several years, until several hundred matzevot were found. With the Związkiem Religijnym Wyznania Mojżeszowego, matzevot planned to transfer them to the cemetery and create a lapidarium of the Wailing Wall from the damaged tombstones. These plans are not finalized so the gravestones remain stored in a warehouse the Regional Museum in Kutno. At the cemetery by a monument is this dedicated to the memory of the Jews of Kutno in Polish, English, and Hebrew: "This is the resting place of Kutno Jews, who were settled in the city since the beginning of the 15th century. The cemetery located on the hill was established in 1793. The Jews were kept there until March 1943. Take this seriously." Today, the cemetery on the hill has damaged and destroyed gravestones. "Newspapers in the Mazowsze Region," describes it thus: "In winter, the cemetery turns into a toboggan run and is a summer playground for sports, organized by the residents' children in the vicinity. In addition, regularly, drinkers use it. The aggressive hooligans knock over plaques dedicated to the Jews and paint offensive graffiti."

shift work sleep disorder, and obstructive sleep apnea. When taken
to treat OSA, Generic Provigil 200mg is used with other medical
treatments such as a breathing device. Order Provigil 200 mg has

sleep disorders, but it has also increased their quality of life
significantly. So if you're suffering from any of these sleep disorders
and you want to combat your excessive sleepiness, then drug might
be the right solution for you.
Uses of Generic Provigil
Provigil, a wakefulness-promoting agent for
oral administration, is prescribed to treat excessive sleepiness
associated with different health conditions such as narcolepsy (a
very serious neurological condition known to cause excessive and
uncontrollable daytime sleepiness), shift work sleep disorder (feeling
extremely drowsy when it's time to sleep and being awake when it's
time to sleep, and affects mostly those who work at night or in
shifts) and sleep apnea (a condition in which your breathing is
interrupted during the night). Buy Provigil 200mg helps those suffering
from these conditions by promoting wakefulness.
The recommended dose for Provigil is usually
200 mg to be taken once a day. When used to treat narcolepsy and
OSA, a single dose of drug should be taken in the morning. When
used to treat SWD, Provigil should be taken around 1 hour before
the start of the patient's work shift. In some cases, doses of up
to 400 mg a day, taken as one single dose have been well tolerated,
but evidence proving the additional benefits of taking drug beyond
the usual 200 mg dose has not yet been fully established.
Even if you want to order Provigil online without prescription,
it is still recommended that you talk to your doctor about your
plans in order to make sure that your treatment with generic Provigil
200mg is going to be beneficial and safe for you. It is important
to inform your doctor everything related to your health conditions
such as any of the following: history of mental problem (which includes
psychosis), high blood pressure, heart problems or if you've had
a heart attack, liver disease or kidney disease, history of alcohol
or drug abuse or addiction, are pregnant or wanting to become pregnant,
or breastfeeding. Also, it is important to inform your doctor about
all of the medications that you're taking. Women who are taking
hormonal birth control may have greater chances of being pregnant
while taking medication and even after one month of stopping drug.
Ask your doctor about other birth control methods that may work
for you while under nedication treatment. You should not take generic
medictation, if you have had any allergic reaction to generic Provigil
or generic Nuvigil or to any of its active ingredients.
Generic Provigil 200 mg may affect your thinking and judgment,
so you shouldn't engage in any potentially life-threatening activities
such as driving a car or operating machinery until you and your
physician know how medication may affect you. Avoid drinking alcohol
while you are under drug treatment. Generic Provigil is not recommended
for use by children for any purpose. It is not yet established whether
it is safe or if it works in individuals who are under the age of

are headache, feeling nervous, nausea, stuffy nose, back pain, diarrhea,
feeling anxious, dizziness, trouble sleeping, and upset stomach.

Mental or psychiatric symptoms, which include
depression, seeing things or hearing things that do not
actually exist, feeling anxious,
increase in activity, suicidal thoughts, aggression, and other

a serious allergic reaction that may have an effect on different
parts of your body including your blood cells or your liver. Any
of these require immediate medical attention as these could be life-threatening.

peeling, blisters, or yellowing of your skin or eyes, dark urine,
difficulty breathing or swallowing, or fever, stop the use of drug
and call your physician immediately or seek emergency help.

side effects of medication. Inform your doctor right away if you
notice any side effect that does not go away or feel anything unusual.
Ask for medical advice concerning side effects from your doctor.
If you believe you have taken an overdose, seek medical help immediately.
Some Faq's:
Making choice between brand and generic provigil, one might always
ask himself what the difference between them can be. Firstly is
certainly the price. Medication will cost substantially less than
the brand drug. Consequently there might be some difference in quality
conditioned by lower cost. But there is not. Let us clear the issue.
Originally Modafinil (the substance that is the basis for all generic
drugs of the category) was developed by Lafon, then the rights were
sold to US Cephalon Inc, and the company owned all the rights for
brand Provigil in the US till 2012. The process of development and
approving a medication before marketing is costly. It includes years
of scientific investigations, then performing clinical trials, afterwards
advertising and marketing the medication. Consequently, the price
of a brand drug will include all those expenses during its long
way to a pharmacy counter. And what is about generic drug? Generic
manufacturer skips the stages of development and marketing, that
explains the lower cost. The requirement of US Food and Drug Administration
to the generic drugs is a good argument in favor of generics' quality.
The requirement states that generic Provigil must have exactly the
same dosage, intended use, effects, side effects, route of administration,
risks, safety, and strength as the original (brand) drug. Thus,
generic drug is completely the same as brand Provigil. Any time
you need a good remedy for your illness, you can order drug at our
online pharmacy.
For all the diseases generic Provigil 200mg is noted for its good
tolerability in patients, high effectiveness and working only in
the targeted area of the brain, not affecting other processes in
the human organism. The basis for drug - substance Modafinil was
developed in France by company Lafon in late 70s of the past century.
Medication does not cause change of mood, euphoria, have low abuse
potential. It has gained popularity within healthy people as well
due to its ability to improve endurance, focus, mental capacity.
Military forces of different nations displayed interest to the medication,
as it may help soldiers stay awake for long time and preserve good
physical and psychic combat condition. You can always order medication
at our online med store.
By 2012 it has been marketed in the US by pharmaceutical company
Cephalon, Inc. But the price of a brand Provigil 200mg is not always
affordable for all the patients, and here a good business is done
by generic manufacturers, as they produce practically the same medication
but with a lower price. You can always order drug from a reputable
Indian manufacturer at our online drug store.
Comparatively new diseases as compared to the 20th century are
spreading more and more in the world of today. Neurologic and sleep
disorders may become the most frightening threat for the 21st century
medicine. While quite recently the major diseases were caused by
infectious bacteria, today many doctors claim that stress and general
tough psychological environment is the key to understanding why
this or that disease progresses. Nevertheless, modern pharmacological
science and industry give a good answer each time to this or that
challenge. One of prominent developments of today's scientists is
medication - the central nervous system stimulant that is applied
successfully for fighting with excessive daytime sleepiness. When
you were prescribed this medication, you can always order drug at
our online pharmacy.
US Food and Drug Administration, state regulatory authority in
the US and one of the most authoritative bodies in the world, has
approved medication for the treatment of excessive daytime sleepiness
in adult people suffering from Narcolepsy, Obstructive Sleep Apnea
(OSA), Shift Work Sleep Disorder (SWSD). For numerous people around
the world drug became the means to have ordinary way of life being
ill. In order to understand how the medication helps narcoleptic
people, for example, one should know what the symptoms of the disease
are. Narcolepsy is a dangerous disease, posing danger to the life
of the patient. The illness causes sudden fits of sleep many times
a day. This is called excessive daytime sleepiness. The person with
Narcolepsy cannot control these fits and can faint into sleep while
driving, walking in the street, or being involved in any other activity.
Medication works in the zones of the brain responsible for sleep
and alertness and promotes wakefulness. Unfortunately, Narcolepsy
cannot be treated, but its main symptom - sleepiness can be relieved
by Provigil UK. Good therapeutic effectiveness plus very few and
seldom side effects make drug one of the best medications for overcoming
excessive sleepiness. Any time you need a reliable help in your
medical condition, you can order Provigil UK at our online med store.
For OSA medication is an adjunct, used to improve wakefulness during
the day, as due to lack of good sleep at night a patient is often
sleepy during the day. SWSD is a disease of people working on night
or rotated shifts. In this case drug is used to promote wakefulness
and good performance during the night.
Though medication is a prescription drug and is a controlled substance
in some countries, we cannot but mention the fact that numerous
people around the world are using being fully healthy. The matter
is that this medication opens new horizons of workability and performance
at work. The ability to work longer, to sleep less and not to lose
efficiency meanwhile is quite important for many people on their
way to success. The drug also gained certain popularity within sportsmen,
soldiers and other professions that require extra strength and endurance.
This is the most disputable issue about the drug. Medication has
been clinically tested to have little side effects, that are observed
in few people, but the doctors remind us that nothing can replace
a good natural rest during sleep and also say that there have not
yet been held studies in long usage of the drug. Therefore, the
risk, taken by the people who strive for success and are ready to
sacrifice natural sleep for it, can be estimated only in long-term
prospect. But still we even can hear about some "secret society"
of successful people using Porvigil for off-label purposes. These
people are strongly convinced that success is the main priority
even if you are not sure what the consequences may be. You can always
order medication at our online drug store.
Like any other medication, medication is not recommended to some
categories of patients, can cause side effects and has some limitations
for use.
First of all, a patient should know that drug cannot cure the disease
itself, it only helps to overcome the symptoms of Narcolepsy, OSA
and SWSD. When applying the drug for OSA, another treatment for
the illness itself should not be quitted. Medication is an adjunctive
medication for OSA.
Provigil is a prescription drug. The dose and duration of treatment
are defined only by the doctor. Generally, for Narcolepsy and OSA
one pill of drug is taken in the morning. For SWSD one tablet is
taken one hour before the night shift starts.
Generic Provigil may react with another drugs you are taking, therefore
do not forget to tell your doctor about other medicines you are
using. Generic Provigil 200 mg is a central nervous system stimulant,
affecting the work of the brain and heart. Geriatric patients should
better avoid using the drug. People with cardiovascular diseases,
kidney and liver problems are not recommended to use the drug as
well. Pediatric use is prohibited. Pregnant women and those planning
pregnancy should consult the doctor to estimate possible risks and
benefits. Hormonal birth control methods may be ineffective during
the use of drug.
Medication is generally good tolerated, but still during clinical
trials some side effects were observed: back pain, diarrhea, headache,
feeling anxious, nausea, dizziness, feeling nervous, upset stomach,
trouble sleeping. Side effects may be provoked by simultaneous using
of Porvigil with other drugs, or by personal reaction of a body
to the drug. The percent of people complaining of side effects is
quite small. Drug may also cause serious side effects, call emergency
immediately if you feel some major discomfort or suspect you have
Driving and other potentially dangerous activities should better
be avoided before you know how your organism reacts to drug. Alcohol
should be avoided during taking medication.
When you have consulted with your health care provider and weighed
all pros and cons, you can order Provigil at our online pharmacy.

Eat Offbeat Brings Refugee Cooking to New Yorkers—and Jobs to Refugees
Like so many immigrants to the United States, Manal Kahi missed the familiar taste of recipes from her home country.
But instead of yearning for hard-to-find delicacies or a proper cup of tea, Kahi, who came to the U.S. three years ago for her master's degree, was disappointed in the quality of a food product found in most American supermarkets: hummus. Without singling out any particular brand sold in the U.S., Kahi says she found American hummus tasted too different from the "high-quality, high standard" found in her native Lebanon.
"I started making my own from a very easy recipe I got from my grandma," she tells Newsweek. "Everyone around me loved it, friends were raving about it, and when I mentioned that to my brother he said, 'We should sell it.'"
Kahi and her brother, Wissam, began thinking about who in the U.S. could make hummus that tasted as good as their grandmother's. The siblings came up with an answer: Syrian refugees resettled in metropolitan New York. That's how Eat Offbeat, a food delivery service based around dishes cooked by refugees, was born.
Launched in November, Eat Offbeat employs six women refugees from Syria, Iraq, Eritrea, Tibet and Nepal who have resettled in Queens, the Bronx and New Jersey to tweak their homespun recipes (with the help of a professional chef) for delivery and catering across New York City. The number of Syrian refugees who have been admitted to the U.S. so far this year—841—is tiny compared with the 2.6 million who have fled to Turkey and the more than 1 million who arrived in Lebanon since Syria's war broke out in 2011, according to data from the State Department and the United Nations refugee agency (UNHCR).
"Coming from Lebanon three years ago, it was the midst of the refugee crisis, and I already had that in the back of my mind. I wanted to do something," Kahi says, standing in the communal kitchen used by Eat Offbeat in Long Island City, Queens. "Back home, there was nothing I could do, and I was feeling kind of hopeless, but this was an opportunity to actually do something."
See all of the best photos of the week in these slideshows
Between October 1, 2015, and January 31, 2016, New York state received 941 refugees from across the world, one of the largest resettlement totals out of the 18,167 refugees who arrived in the U.S. during that time period, according to the State Department. Neighboring New Jersey has received 76 refugees, and 136 were resettled in Connecticut during that period. While more than half of New York City's resettled refugees originate from China, a 2013 New York City government report on the city's foreign-born population includes Nepal among the top 20 countries of origin for refugees and asylum-seekers.
When Newsweek visited the Eat Offbeat kitchen on Tuesday, the team was wrapping up preparation for a 90-person lunch at a nonprofit organization in Manhattan the following day. Large silver bowls and trays of diced apples and potato kibbeh, a deep-fried potato croquette from Iraq, cover two work stations as a very New York clock—in the shape of a slice of pizza on a paper plate—ticks nearby. Eat Offbeat has fed groups of eight to 125 people, and it is hoping to start an individual delivery service, where people can order meals from its website, within the next few weeks.
Despite Eat Offbeat's handful of refugee chefs and the use of their inherited recipes, Kahi says she doesn't want the company to be defined as one that employs refugees. The women are referred to Eat Offbeat by the International Rescue Committee (IRC), one of the nine resettlement agencies contracted by the State Department to help refugees begin their lives in the U.S.
"We're not really helping refugees; they are helping us," she explains. "We want New Yorkers to say, 'Wow, we are so lucky that these people are being resettled in New York. This is amazing food. They have so much value to offer.' We just want to showcase that."
The women employed by Eat Offbeat have the benefit of being trained by Juan Suarez de Lezo, the organization's head chef and a veteran of such globally renowned eateries as Per Se and El Bulli. The restaurants where he's worked have 13 Michelin stars between them.
Suarez de Lezo says Eat Offbeat is a "totally different" kitchen from others where he's worked. His job consists of showing the refugee chefs how to adapt their finely tuned home-cooking to a professional environment. With his help, the kitchen has developed nearly 30 recipes since November, including the Nepalese dish Manchurian, a customer and staff favorite of deep-fried steamed cauliflower covered in a spicy sauce.
"We get their best recipes, and we work over the flavors. Maybe they use a lot of garlic; even though it's really tasty and really nice, you have to balance all the flavors for people in New York," says Suarez de Lezo. "They know how to cook, but we teach them new techniques, new ideas, and they can use them in those dishes that they cook every single day."
The brain behind the Manchurian dish is Rachana (who declined to give her last name), a refugee from Nepal who has lived in the U.S. for 10 years. Rachana has been at the organization since November and conjured up the recipe for Manchurian through her own testing and research. It's "one of the most amazing things I have tried in my life," says Suarez de Lezo. Rachana also cooks lamb pilau and momos, a type of dumpling from her native Nepal.
"I don't have any professional degree at all, but they like my food and cooking with me," Rachana says, standing next to a giant tray of Manchurian prepared for next-day frying. "I am so happy to work with [Suarez de Lezo]."
"Our motto is 'Where adventurous eaters find refuge,'" says Kahi. "It's really about us helping New Yorkers and not the other way around." As well as providing curious New Yorkers with food they've possibly never tried, Kahi says Eat Offbeat gives refugees the opportunity to receive training, employment and a chance to get out of the house—something that's especially important for those who have been resettled very recently.
For Rachana, who is still smiling in her hairnet, white chef's jacket and apron at the end of the day, Eat Offbeat is a perfect match. "I'm so happy. This is my passion," she says. "I'm fit for here. I'm meant for this kitchen."

Steering Problems
CarComplaints.com Notes: The 2014 Honda CR-V has a trend of engine hesitation when accelerating.
Honda has tried to fix this delayed acceleration with a software update, but many owners report it didn't fix the problem.
This defect trend is not quite bad enough yet for us to slap on the "Beware of the Clunker" seal. But it's a concern & definitely something to keep in mind for a test drive.

The other day at work as I was walking down the hallway, I was thinking. Writing is what I love, but I really do like what I do at work, too. The two are very different. What I do at work uses my left brain. Writing uses my right brain.
When I was a child, I had a book I treasured, which we also read to our own children. I can't even remember the name now, but as the children marched to school, their school clothes changed to professional clothing, a nurse, a policeman, etc. as they dreamed about what they wanted to do when they grew up. And as they marched, they chanted, "Left foot, right foot, hay foot, straw foot".
That day, as I thought of my job and my writing passion - using my left brain and my right brain - I thought with a smile, "Left foot, right foot, hay foot, straw foot."
I think this is the case for many of us who go out to work. Often what brings us an income is not the the only thing we like doing, and perhaps there is something else that is more of a passion...but that's okay. Maybe we wouldn't enjoy the passion as much if we did it as a living. Maybe we would. But maybe God wants us to serve by doing both.
And perhaps we are happiest when we are open to more than one type of work in our lives. Even if our primary "job" is being a stay-at-home mom (as mine was for many years), we still may have another avenue of service and enjoyment, be it teaching Sunday school, singing in the choir, sewing, writing (naturally I'd think of that), or a myriad of other possibilities.
Whatever you do for love or money, may it bring you joy and satisfaction in the coming year!

Switzerland Still Tops the List of Leading Tourist Destinations, and 3 MENA Countries Make the Top 50 List
The top echelons of the global tourism industry are now only partly German-speaking: as a holiday destination, Austria has slipped two places compared with 2008 in the "Travel & Tourism Competitiveness Report 2011", and now ranks fourth. By contrast, Germany has made further progress amongst the leading trio, and is now positioned behind global tourism champion Switzerland in second spot. France is likewise one of the winners in this long-term study. While this Western European destination ranked only tenth in 2008, it has now risen to third spot in the international ranking.
The global tourism survey has been put together for the fourth time by the World Economic Forum, working jointly in a strategic partnership with the international strategy consultants Booz & Company. The resulting ranking of the 139 states surveyed was presented today, immediately ahead of ITB Berlin. The analysis focuses on the framework conditions for the respective travel industries in areas such as health and safety, infrastructure, price levels, the cultural offer, environmental protection and legislative regulation. Germany came out strongly in the evaluation of long-term and continuous investments in sustainable tourism concepts and environmental protection initiatives. Cultural and landscape-related resources in particular, such as the "Wattenmeer" (the Wadden Sea mudflats, which have been inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List since 2009), are a key asset for Germany as a travel destination. France, a star performer in the fresh rankings, has put its faith since 2008 in a newly-formulated national tourism strategy aimed at attracting new visitor segments, for instance from the Middle East and Asia. To that end, investments have been made in modernising hotels, in revising hotel classifications and in international marketing activities. To cushion the consequences of the economic crisis, the French state is further supporting the travel industry via a drastic reduction in VAT for tourism services.
Generally, the overall average score on the framework conditions for tourism in the travel destinations studied remains largely stable compared with 2008. "For the established travel destinations, preserving the status quo is definitely not a sustainable strategy for the future in order to win out over new, aspirational travel regions from Eastern Europe, the Middle East or Asia. For these dynamic regions, we identified significantly above-average structural improvements during the study," says Jürgen Ringbeck, Senior Partner and tourism expert with Booz & Company.
Asia as A Growth Market
Overall, the dynamic in the tourism sector is moving away from the established regions such as Europe and North America, and towards the East. In the Asia-Pacific Region, international tourist arrivals from 2000 to 2010 increased nearly twice as fast (85%) as the global average (39%). China (which UNWTO identified in 2010 as being the third-most visited country, measured by international tourist arrivals) is a key growth driver in this trend. The results of the latest survey, the "Travel & Tourism Competitiveness Report 2011", reflect this above-average dynamism: over the past four years, the People's Republic of China has made up 23 places, and now ranks 39. The country benefits considerably from strategic investments in infrastructure and the tourism industry—not least for Expo 2010 in Shanghai and for the Olympic Games in Beijing in 2008.
However, rapid economic growth in the most populated country in the world, and of course the consequences of the boom in tourism, are also bringing ecological problems in their wake. "Growth, pure and simple, is often to be found at the forefront of structural policy. Environmental protection and soft tourism concepts generally still don't get much of a look-in. When it comes to sustainability, many regions reveal a marked need to up their game," says Ringbeck.
Gulf States Overtaking North African Tourism Strongholds
Three MENA countries are included in the top 50 rankings of leading tourism destinations―Bahrain (2011 ranking: 40), Qatar (2011 ranking: 42), and Tunisia (2011 ranking: 47). Nevertheless, the trends in the index clearly show that traditional North African destinations such as Tunisia and Egypt are falling back in the rankings, as Arab countries in the Gulf continue to drive deeper into the global Travel and Tourism stage with supporting investments in developing regulatory, business environment and infrastructure and particularly human, cultural and natural resources to overtake the North African countries.
For instance Egypt is currently ranked 75, but has already lost seven places over the past four years. By contrast, the Kingdom of Bahrain has made up eight places since 2008. And Oman has made up even more, moving up 15 places (2011 ranking: 61). The current political unrest in many North African and Arab countries may have a negative impact on the overall situation, at least in the short term. For example, a major tourism event scheduled for March in Bahrain, the Formula 1 Championship race, has been postponed. "But if the political situation stabilises, then the states concerned could rapidly recover lost ground and open-up their markets for further tourism investments, while focusing on improving the overall business environment, which would have a positive and lasting impact on tourism competitiveness," says Nabih Maroun, Partner at Booz & Company.
European Winners and Losers
Notwithstanding all this, Europe is still heavily represented in the top 10 rankings. A total of seven European destinations hold places in this leading group. When it comes to the losers in the survey, amongst the European tourism destinations it is Greece and Portugal which stand out. The results for these popular holiday destinations reflect to a large extent the consequences of the economic and debt crisis, which hit both destinations particularly hard. In Greece, for example, the effects of general strikes on air traffic, and thus on the tourist trade, are apparent. Portugal is suffering above all due to a lack of funds for urgently-needed infrastructure investments, dropping three places compared with 2008 and now only ranking 18. Greece is now only ranked 29 in the current list, down from 22 in 2008. One real winner in this year's survey is Montenegro. The Balkan state is even writing environmental protection into its constitution, and is relying on sustainable hotel development as it establishes its mountain regions as popular walking and skiing destinations. The deliberate decision not to embrace mass tourism, as for instance Spain elected to do in the 1980s, has allowed the destination to leap from a ranking of 59 in 2008 to 36 in the latest survey.

EL SEGUNDO, Calif. | In words and deeds, the Los Angeles Lakers are making it clear how they feel about Dwight Howard.
EL SEGUNDO, Calif. | In words and deeds, the Los Angeles Lakers are making it clear how they feel about Dwight Howard.
The Lakers took the unusual step earlier this week of putting up billboards around the LA area with a photo of the center and the word "Stay." General manager Mitch Kupchak also addressed his feelings late Thursday night after the NBA draft.
Said Kupchak: "The message is simple: we care about you and we want you to stay."
Howard's impending free agency has been prominent in the Lakers' minds since their season ended in a first-round playoff sweep.
Howard, a seven-time All-Star, has vowed to make his decision in his own best interests, giving no indication he favored the Lakers over any other team. The free agency period begins at 9:01 p.m. PDT Sunday.
Kupchak used the word "optimistic" to describe his feelings about what Howard might do. The Lakers can offer a maximum of $118 million over five seasons, and other teams can offer $88 million over four years.
Ray Allen Returning to Heat Next Season
MIAMI | Ray Allen is returning to the Miami Heat next season.
Allen exercised his $3.2 million player option Friday, barely a week after the Heat finished off the San Antonio Spurs to win the NBA Finals in seven games. Allen made one of the biggest shots in Heat history, a 3-pointer with 5.2 seconds left in Game 6 of the finals to tie the game and force an overtime where Miami ultimately prevailed.
Allen turns 38 next month, yet still played in 102 games during the regular season and playoffs for Miami. That was the most appearances by any player in the league this past season.
Allen averaged 10.9 points in the regular season, and 10.2 points in the playoffs.
Cavs Add Bickerstaff As Assistant Coach
INDEPENDENCE, Ohio | Former NBA coach Bernie Bickerstaff will be an assistant on Mike Brown's new staff with the Cavaliers.
Cavs general manager Chris Grant divulged the hiring of Bickerstaff on Friday after the team introduced top pick Anthony Bennett, who was taken first overall by Cleveland in Thursday night's NBA draft.
Bickerstaff has previously worked as a head coach with Seattle, Denver, Washington and Charlotte. He took over as the Los Angeles Lakers' interim coach last season after Brown was fired after just five games. Bickerstaff also worked in the front office for the Nuggets and Bobcats.
Brown was rehired in May by the Cavs, three years after he was fired by owner Dan Gilbert.
Celtics to Rebuild Without Pierce
BOSTON | Letting Doc Rivers go to the Los Angeles Clippers was the first sign. Getting rid of Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett clinched it.
The Boston Celtics are rebuilding.
The Celtics have agreed to the terms of a deal that would send the two remaining members of the Big Three that won the 2008 NBA title to the Brooklyn Nets for a package of draft picks and players.
Pierce is the longest-tenured member of the team, its captain, a 10-time All-Star and a likely Hall of Famer. Garnett is also a future Hall of Famer, though only the last six years of his career were in Boston.
That's why Pierce's departure is the one that signals the end of an era in Boston.
