Gainful Employment Program Disclosure
Effective July 1, 2011, the Department of Education requires that all certificate programs must disclose particular Gainful Employment information to current and prospective students. The information that is provided in the disclosure includes the estimated cost of the certificate program as well as on-time graduation and job placement rates for this particular certificate program. The disclosure information is based on data from the 2016-17 school year (defined as the period between July 1, 2016, and June 30, 2017)
Graduate certificates were designed as a gateway to a master's degree. If a student earns a B or better in each certificate course they may continue for the graduate degree (in the corresponding department), without needing to submit GRE/GMAT scores, or letters of recommendation*. A student does not need to continue on for the graduate degree, however most do. Graduate certificates were designed for working professionals who have real life work experience and may not have time to take the GRE/GMAT. Admission requirements for the graduate certificate program are also more relaxed than the graduate degree. This graduate certificate may act as a gateway to the following master's programs:
Civil Engineering (MS)
Engineering Management (MS)
Environmental Engineering (MS)
(Applicants must indicate which program they wish to use the certificate as a gateway for when initially applying for the certificate).
*Completion of a graduate certificate program does not automatically guarantee admission into a corresponding graduate degree program. To continue in a master's degree program, you must apply. Click here for details and check with academic department for program specific details and requirements.
All courses are offered through distance education in a short condensed format, typically 5-8 weeks in length, over the internet, via live streaming video; collaborative learning software includes WebEx and Blackboard; classes are archived online for review and easy access.
Course Management Software: Blackboard.

Erica definitely made Penny part of their family. We were so fortunate to have found Erica and her family to watch our sweet pug, Penny. We are new to the area and have no one else to leave her with. It was stressful to even think of Penny being left at a kennel. Erica and her family gave Penny the same love and attention as they gave their own dog. Our family was able to ...

flowers are the universal way to express love 26 Jan 2015
"I think the world would be a better place if everyone worked delivering flowers for two weeks twice a year. It makes it easier to remember that people might be going through hard stuff.
Today I delivered several funeral pieces. One was for a service for an older gentleman. When I got to the mortuary a service was ending for a 30 year old man. Later I delivered flowers to someone in the business office of a hospital. As I was leaving, a young couple was loading up their newborns. Twins. A boy and a girl. Such tiny creatures. Life truly does go on. Good luck, little ones. May you be kind and happy. And may your father soon look a little less petrified.
See, if you saw this stuff that I see several times a week, you might remember that you know nothing about the stranger who pissed you off so much by doing something that, in the big picture, isn't really a big deal. People don't wear signs that say, "my son just died" or "I had my dog put to sleep today" or "it's the anniversary of my daughter's death" or "I miscarried".
Plus, you get to see people smile that smile that only comes when they are surprised with a bouquet of flowers. Little kids, young girls, grandmothers, grandfathers, wives, college students, and people who are having a hard day at work until they see that someone sent them flowers.
And the smile is the same whether it's from someone in a mansion or a house that looks like it's about to fall down. It will make you smile. And you'll be reminded that we all aren't so very different from one another."
All of us here at Twigs feel very blessed to participate in so many of your life stories, this quote that we have written on our wall in the shop is so true!

Risk Management
Where are we going with long-term care?March 27, 2017

Inclement weather is here, and so is increased elopement dangerDecember 09, 2014
I was fortunate to be able to spend the past week visiting London, which was a good reminder that perception of weather is partially dependent on where you are from, where you live, and whether you have invested in flannel-lined jeans and sock liners. Similarly, the implications of elopement and wandering among long-term care residents have become more serious.

Fearless story
Finding Fearless is searching for stories that exemplify the five Be Fearless principles—people who are being bold and taking risks. We want to hear your favorite fearless story.
It's time
To be
It's time to ignite a more fearless approach to innovation and bring about transformational breakthroughs—one that requires taking risks, being bold and failing forward—and it starts with YOU. Finding Fearless is searching for stories of changemakers big and small—stories that bring the Be Fearless principles to life. How are you changing the world? Or how has an organization or someone else's Be Fearless journey inspired you? Dig into the principles below and submit your favorite story!
Makebig bets and make history.
Set audacious, not incremental, goals. So many people and organizations have a natural caution that leads them to make limited changes. They look at what seemed to work in the past, and they try to do more of it. But history suggests that the most significant cultural transformations occur when one or more people simply decide to try and make big change, rather than move incrementally.
experiment early and often.
Don't be afraid to go first. The world moves more quickly today than ever, and our responses have to keep up. To continue to respond creatively, we need to continue to experiment. Just when we think a certain intervention is working, that's when we have to look down the road to see what new tools or new dynamics will challenge our assumptions or provide an even better solution.
make failurematter.
Failure teaches. Learn from it. No one seeks it out, but with innovation comes the risk of failure. Great innovators learn from it and many wear those failures as badges of honor. And if everyone commits to sharing lessons from failure, we will all be stronger and more prepared to attack the next challenge.
reachbeyond your BUBBLE.
It's comfortable to go it alone. But innovation happens at intersections. There's no question that working alone or with known connections is usually more comfortable than reaching out to people and entities that are unfamiliar. But breakthroughs don't come from a place of comfort. Reaching beyond your bubble to forge new and unlikely partnerships is a key to discovery.
let urgencyconquerfear.
Don't overthink and overanalyze. Do. Sure, it's natural to want to study a problem from all angles and ask questions like: What if we are wrong? What if there is a better way? These are important questions, but they can also paralyze us in fear. Take bold action. Don't let fear get in the way. Use the energy that urgency brings to take action.
Help Us Findfearless
Have you seen these Be Fearless principles used in real life to create change? To inspire others to create change? Share a story of putting these principles into practice—whether it's from your own journey or the journey of another individual, organization or company that inspires you. Finding Fearless is looking for stories of fearless changemakers and we need your help to find them!

I've completely wiped the hard drive, deleted all other partitions, and reinstalled operating system... twice. Still, my computer is helpless. Same problems. I got a McAfee anti-virus disk from another computer i bought a few months back that came with it and installed that from disk. Ran it, no viruses detected. I don't know what to do now.
Examples of what happens when I try to download something from internet... "this file is corrupt", "unknown publisher", "no valid security signature", "Error blah blah blah, try this" it is always something or another. Some excuse as to why it won't download. Internet doesn't work half the time, always some error on page, pages open up being completely text, lots of little red x's, all kinds of crap. Cursor on screen jumps around all over the place when I'm not touching touch pad thingy. Again, all this after I have completely wiped the harddrive clean and reinstalled the OS twice.
I've searched and searched these types of forums looking for anwers and tried things with no fix. I need help. Also, I'm not very computer literate so if anybody out there has any help for me, please try not to use abbreviations or fancy terms. LOL.
I've really got no need to keep this harddrive if it needs to be tossed.

"There's a bit of nationalism involved," said Jack Dongarra of the University of Tennessee. "We like to think in the U.S. that we have the most powerful computers. Well, the Japanese have it now."
Japan's NEC jolted the computer world in April when its Earth Simulator, which knits together 5,000 processors to attain a theoretical speed of 40 trillion calculations per second, became the first machine built outside the United States to top the supercomputer speed list.
The Yokohama, Japan-based Earth Simulator not only took the lead, but did so by trouncing the then-fastest machine, IBM's ASCI White, by running almost five times as fast.
"It's an exciting time," said Dongarra, who leads the group of researchers that tracks the world's 500 speediest computers, known as the Top500 list. "We went through a period of doldrums. The Earth Simulator has revived interest in high-power computing."
At the SuperComputing 2002 conference in Baltimore on Tuesday, U.S. Energy Secretary Spencer Abraham was to announce a $290 million contract with IBM to build two new supercomputers, one of which, dubbed ASCI Purple, is expected to clock in at 100 teraflops, or trillions of calculations per second.
Like so many of America's fastest computers, ASCI Purple will be used to simulate the explosions and decay of the U.S. nuclear weapons stockpile without resorting to test detonations of the warheads.
In 2005, IBM plans to deliver a second supercomputer to the Department of Energy, dubbed Blue Gene/Lite, which will run 130,000 processors at a theoretical top speed of 360 teraflops — more than triple the speed of ASCI Purple.
IBM says Blue Gene/Lite, running the Linux operating system, will tackle research on global climate change and study the interaction between atmospheric chemistry and pollution.
The "Lite" designation refers to IBM's ongoing Blue Gene supercomputer experiment, where the company has been researching the techniques behind building a supercomputer that could handle a petaflop — or a quadrillion calculations — per second.
Both of the mega-machines will reside at the DOE's Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in Livermore, California.
Significantly for IBM, the operating software and the interconnection of ASCI Purple's 12,500 processors are the same basic innards that power its P-Series mainframe computers, said Dave Turek, IBM's vice president of deep computing. Except that ASCI Purple will harbor two petabytes — or quadrillion bytes — of disk storage, about 30 times the contents of the Library of Congress, Turek estimated.
The tough part, Turek and Dongarra say, is interconnecting the processors so they act like a single human brain, rather than a collection of cells. IBM said ASCI Purple would approach the brain's processing power.
"When they get this large it becomes a significant challenge to put these things together," Dongarra said. "It's a real tour de force in engineering."
All but a few of today's top supercomputers use a parallel processing system that interconnects thousands of mass-produced microprocessors.
The biggest exception is NEC's Earth Simulator, which uses a "vector parallel" construction of linked processors, an older method that handles computations one at a time.
Whether IBM's ASCI Purple becomes the first machine to knock NEC's Earth Simulator off the block remains to be seen.
Other companies are working toward the same goal, including Hewlett-Packard Co. — builder of the current No. 2 and 3 machines — Cray Inc., which is designing a pair of alternate systems for the Department of Energy, and NEC itself, analysts said.
About 90 percent of the top 500 supercomputers are U.S.-made, according to the Top 500 list, compiled by researchers at University of Mannheim, Germany; the Department of Energy's National Energy Research Scientific Computing Center in Berkeley, California. and the University of Tennessee.
For Turek, nationalism is no concern.
"We're international," he said. "For us, every nation is an IBM nation."

The Internet of Things (IoT) emerged over the last few years as a well-known concept that simply describes "the point in time when more 'things or objects' connected to the Internet than people". Current projections peg IoT to consist of a staggering 50 billion devices by the year 2020, bringing an ambient intelligence to our personal and professional lives.
Enchanted Objects
As mentioned in a previous post, 60% of useful sensory data loses value in milliseconds if not captured and actioned effectively. With the correct Wi-Fi infrastructure and IoT implementation, the future development of the Internet of Things will ultimately lead to smart, empowered individuals (the Internet of People).
60% of useful sensory data loses value in milliseconds if not captured and actioned effectively.
Among wearables, nearables, hearables, embeddables, ingestibles and other IoT-enabled devices, we now look to enter into a realm of 'enchanted objects' – where everything around us anticipates and enhances our physical and digital footsteps through our daily lives.
The theory of 'enchanted objects' describes a future scenario whereby "technology infuses ordinary things with a bit of magic to create a more satisfying interaction and evoke an emotional response"; a magical realm "where our possessions gently anticipate our every need". For example:
- Your umbrella glows blue when a weather app forecasts rain that day
- The fridge reminds us we're out of milk
- Your fork vibrates when you're eating too fast
Those represent just a few, fun examples – however, they also exemplify the power of enchanted objects to capture, analyse and present not simply information, but outcomes to act upon.
The Curse of Consumerism
The opposing school of thought distorts our idyllic 'digital Hogwarts'; warning us that we reside upon the precipice of 'rampant consumerism' and dystopian surveillance. It describes a scenario where we could find ourselves perpetually nudged to purchase and consume, whilst remaining constantly exposed to hackers. Global IoT trends also correlate with this theory, as Gartner reports commercial security cameras, webcams and LEDs will contribute strongly towards market growth, representing 24 percent of the IoT market for smart cities. Does this make us inevitably cursed?
The Digital World: Ours to Architect
Big data has led us to collect vast amounts of information about our surroundings and ourselves – we're consistently glued to our screens; viewing and making sense of the data that gets collected from our smart devices.
There exists a vast opportunity for us to truly operationalise IoT in the form of enchanted objects. As it currently stands, around 99% of 'potentially connectable' elements remain offline. If we can design objects that truly assist our actions intuitively and effortlessly, it could allow us to shorten or forgo the cycle of interpreting sensory data ourselves.
99% of 'potentially connectable' elements remain offline.
Though comparatively new, the Internet has rapidly become a ubiquitous and essential element of life. But despite its universality, it still remains a prototype in perpetual beta, and its future doesn't have to be 'flat, monopolised', and impersonal. Rather, the ongoing development of the Internet presents the opportunity for us to influence and construct its future in a way that elevates the technology from its two-dimensional digital existence, and unites it with the material world to expand our physical and mental reach.
Estimates suggest that IoT will have five to 10 times the impact on society as the traditional Internet itself, and represents a greater than nineteen trillion-dollar business opportunity. If organisations can ensure they implement powerful and scalable Wi-Fi infrastructure – both purpose-built for future demand acceleration as well as highly secure and manageable – then that signifies the first leap into a potentially magical gateway, ensuring we head towards a utopian reality whereby we can reserve actual 'screen-time' for the most necessary communication and interactions.
Effectively architected enchanted objects that provide us with more "meaningful, fulfilling and connected experiences" could allow us to circumvent having to read and interpret data captured from the network. Screens provide wonderful gateways into information and communication, but they also remove us from our surroundings. Instead, objects should capture, analyse and present us with the outcome we seek – allowing us to truly break away and start to seamlessly interact with the world around us, the place where real magic lies.

North Korea's nuclear test: Here's what you need to know
The Washington Post
North Korea had its fifth nuclear test last Friday. Here's what we know so far.
Q: What happened? Was it really a nuclear test, like North Korea claims, or was it just an earthquake?
A: Yes, it really was a nuclear test. The US Geological Survey said the 5.3 magnitude seismic event it recorded had "explosion-like characteristics" and occurred where North Korea has tested nuclear devices in the past. The North's first nuclear test was in 2006, and three have been carried out since Kim Jong Un took power in late 2011.
Scientists knew it was an explosion the the waveform is sudden, unlike an earthquake, and the depth is shallow. Plus, it happened at a known North Korean nuclear test site.
Q: So this means they really have a nuclear warhead capable of being fitted on a long-range missile?
A: Not necessarily. North Korea announced that they had conducted a "nuclear explosion test" and that they had "standardised" a nuclear warhead. Just because they're right on the explosion doesn't mean they're right on the standardisation.
Making a nuclear warhead small and light enough to fit to a missile is difficult. Army chiefs think North Korea is well on the way to doing this, but there's no sign they are there yet.
And, even if they do manage to "miniaturise" a nuclear device and stick it on a missile, there's still a whole lot more steps to go through. A nuclear missile goes through extremes of heat and cold, shakes with vibrations during launch, and has to survive re-entry and hit its target. There's a lot of things that can go wrong there.
But North Korea is making a lot of progress on its missile programme. And its latest nuclear test does show they have takanother step down the path to what some people think is Pyongyang's ultimate aim: being able to send a nuclear-tipped missile to the U.S. mainland.
Q: If that was supposed to make me feel better, it hasn't worked.
A: Sorry about that. But it's true that this is a pretty scary situation. Kim Jong Un has made it clear he's determined to make North Korea a nuclear state - and he's certainly shown no sign to return to diplomatic talks aimed at getting him to give up his weapons programmes. The example always cited in North Korea is Libya. Moammar Gadhafi gave up his nukes and look what happened to him.
North Korea nuclear test shakes world
North Korea is still technically at war with South Korea, the United States and the United Nations since the 1950 - 1953 Korean war, in which only China was on its side. While that war has had a ceasefire there has never been a surrender.
In his 2002 State of the Union address, then US President George W Bush named North Korea alongside Iran and Iraq as an "axis of evil" and a year later, the US and Iraq were at war.
Q: Where are the Chinese when we need them?
A: Well, China is one country that has real power over North Korea, given that it gives economic aid to its neighbour and is its main route for trading with the rest of the world. China is always concerned about peace on its borders and has shown itself to prioritise keeping North Korea afloat over punishing Kim.
That said, China seems pretty angry right now. North Korea fired three missiles lastMonday while Chinese president Xi Jinping was hosting the Group of 20 summit in Hangzhou - and those missiles were technically capable of hitting Hangzhou. It's hard to miss the message Kim was sending.
On Friday, China's foreign ministry released a statement condemning the test and saying it would work with the international community to urge North Korea to return to talks and give up its nukes.
The question now is whether China gets serious about enforcing sanctions.
Q: Why is all this happening now?
A: Friday marked the "Day of the Foundation of the Republic" - a public holiday commemorating the 68th anniversary of the formation of the North Korean government by Kim Il Sung, North Korea's founding president and the current leader's grandfather. So it's an important day for the country.
But the test could also have been timed to push back at people thinking the government is weak because some high level officials have run away to the west.
It could also be a signal to the outside world that North Korea won't back down. The US will send an anti-missile weapon to South Korea, and China has been supporting UN statements "deploring" North Korea's recent actions. This is Kim Jong Un's way of saying, "you're not the boss of me."
Q: What happens next?
A: Japanese "sniffer" planes went up Friday and there are probably some American ones flying around, too. They'll be trying to measure radiation levels and capture gases so nuclear scientists can know more the test.
Teen North Korean defector confirmed to be a medalist at Hong Kong's International Mathematical Olympiad
Then, it will be back to the UN Security Council. Today, North Korea's Foreign Minister Ri Yong Ho left Pyongyang to meet UN officials in New York. We can expect meetings and harshly worded statements out of the United Nations, and a push for more sanctions. But the question is: What else can the international community do? There have been lots of new sanctions imposed this year - a crackdown on mineral exports, increased cargo inspections, tougher financial limitations - and clearly none of them have made Kim Jong Un stop holding the missiles and the nuclear tests.
There aren't many other options. A military strike is out - no one has any appetite for another war, and striking North Korea would probably unleash a volley of artillery by the North across the Demilitarized Zone at Seoul, home to 20 million people.
There's another option: flooding North Korea with trade and investment and information and trying that way to convince them to change. But with all this defiance, there's even less appetite for engagement than there is for military action.
Meanwhile, Seoul says North Korea is preparing for another nuclear test.

Fast Lane Multi-Level Parking Garage (Review)
Ever since my son got his first few Hot Wheels toy cars, he has been fascinated with cars. When he was younger, he was only interested in aeroplanes. Now, it is racing cars, police cars, fire trucks, etc.
Therefore, not too long after, his Dad got him a Fast Lane Parking Garage. And you should have seen how his face lit up and the "Wow! Wow! Wowww!" he kept exclaiming.

As many already know, last week was the week for Paris haute couture fashion. The week opened not only with the surprising news that Versace was returning to haute couture after an eight-year absence, but also that apparently couture sales are up — in some cases by 50%. The Guardian piece reporting this second occurance pointed out that this is more due to the growing schism between the very rich and, well, the rest of us, than due to any increase in investment dressing due to hard times.
There were the usual warring opinions as to the clothes shown, none more controversial than Dior with the spectre of John Galliano not-so-subtly haunting every report. The Wall Street Journal was bored by Bill Gaytten's looking to the archives for his collection, which was clearly inspired by the New Look, while the New York Times was pleased with the general 'less is more' feel of the collection, but lamenting the lack of a designer with true 'imagination'.
It was the Financial Times who had the most scathing reports, remarking that all the collections were too 'weighed down by history'.
Holly Brubach commented in 1992 that couture 'which was once the vanguard of fashion, now finds itself bringing up the rear'. It seems that twenty years later, the journalists and critics are still largely disappointed by what they are seeing on the runway. So why have sales increased? Is this an example of a complete disconnect between those covering the shows as journalists and those watching them as consumers?
What are your opinions about the recent haute couture week? Do you think that the rise in sales is at all connected to the return to the archives and the designers' taking inspiration from couture's past? Are the vintage-inspired designs proof of a demand within society for a return to glamour and elegance? Do you think couture still has relevance in society and in history of dress if it is no longer dictating what people wear every day? What are your thoughts on the Guardian's suggestion that the rise in couture sales is proof of the widening of the economic gap? Did any of you see the pieces first hand?
Please share your thoughts.

Fall in the Smokies… the Perfect Time to Hike!
Rocky Top Wine Trail's Mountain Hiking Guide
Since our little group of wineries makes up "a trail" of sorts, we often get asked all about the best trails to hike here in the Smoky Mountains. So for this week's blog post, we asked one of our avid hiking employees to share his experience on a recent hike and talk about the best hiking trails this side of the mountains!
Beautiful Vistas and Quite Places
His most recent hike (October 1st, 2017) started out at Newfound Gap Parking lot, which sits at the top ridgeline of the mountains between Cherokee and Gatlinburg. The views from the parking lot alone are absolutely stunning but just a short hike in can take you to some of the most beautiful vistas the park has to offer.
The trail to the Jump Off starts just beside the stone wall setting where President Franklin D Roosevelt first gave his blessing and opening announcement for Great Smoky Mountains National Park back in 1934. It's a steep incline for the first 2 miles or so but levels off for the final 2 miles to the Jump Off Point. The Jump Off is aptly named as hikers will see a sheer shelf that, when walked directly up to, falls thousands of feet straight down to the valley below. Check out a few of the pictures he took below!
See below for our short list of the best hiking trails in the Smokies. The leaves are just beginning to change as of this past weekend so you should have ample opportunity to view the beautiful Fall colors for weeks to come!
Recommended Hikes
Charlie's Bunion (just a short, 1.5 mile hike further past the Jump Off)
Andrew's Bald (this short hike ends at a "bald" mountain top and is a short, easy hike)
Grapeyard Ridge (located in Greenbrier – the trail peaks at a stem engine wreck from the 1800's)
Mount Leconte via Alum Cave (a very strenuous hike not for beginners but well worth the time and effort)
And we would be remiss without recommending a stop at Sugarland Cellars Winery in Gatlinburg after your day hike! A good glass of wine goes a long way to helping us all to relax after a long day enjoying the mountains and their many treasures.

TTIP Town Halls in Alabama: Free Trade in the Land of Dixie
WASHINGTON, DC/BIRMINGHAM and MOBILE, ALABAMA (January 22, 2015) – With 2015 promising to be a pivotal year for negotiations on a Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP), the Bertelsmann Foundation continued its efforts to engage local and regional communities throughout the United States under the auspices of its TTIP Town Hall program. The third stop on the program's five-stop tour saw the Foundation visit Birmingham and Mobile, Alabama on January 21-22 to explore and discuss the impact of a proposed US-EU free-trade agreement on the state's businesses and communities.
Town Hall engagements in both cities were tied together by one underlying theme: TTIP's impact on small businesses. The Birmingham Town Hall, held in partnership with the Office of the Representative of German Industry and Trade (RGIT) and the Birmingham Business Alliance, opened with a keynote address by former Alabama Congressman Jo Bonner, who set the tone for the morning discussion by offering a Capitol Hill perspective on the negotiations. TTIP, Bonner said, was "a big deal and a big opportunity". The US had signed 13 free-trade agreements since the 1980s, none of which is as important as a prospective agreement with Europe, he added. But securing such an agreement, Bonner warned, will be impossible without the support of businesses in Alabama and throughout the US.
TTIP could be a "game-changer" for e-commerce while reducing customs-facilitation delays for small businesses from "days to hours".
Following the Congressman's remarks, a panel of Washington, DC-based US and EU experts discussed potential opportunities and pitfalls associated with a TTIP, and the ways in which a TTIP could further open European markets to Alabama small businesses. The speakers were Marjorie Chorlins (vice president for European affairs at the US Chamber of Commerce), Thomas Lambert (deputy chief of mission at the Embassy of Belgium in Washington, DC) and Dr. Christina Sevilla (deputy assistant US trade representative for small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs)). Sevilla noted some of the benefits TTIP could bring SMEs, arguing that an agreement could be a "game-changer" for e-commerce while reducing customs-facilitation delays for small businesses from "days to hours".
A second panel, comprising local business leaders, shared their experiences trying to export to Europe and the regulatory barriers that complicate these efforts. While hopeful for an agreement, the local business leaders argued that a clear understanding of export rules and the removal of these barriers were essential to business expansion.
The Bertelsmann Foundation TTIP Town Hall team then traveled on to Mobile for another event, this time in partnership with RGIT and the Mobile Chamber of Commerce. Sevilla, Chorlins and Lambert again provided expert analysis alongside Michael Lee (chairman of the Alabama District Export Council), who offered a local and statewide perspective on regional free-trade agreements. The Mobile discussion again focused on the potential impact of a TTIP on local SMEs and explored a TTIP agreement's effect on Mobile's burgeoning aerospace industry. With a new Airbus plant set to open in the city later this year, trans-Atlantic trade is playing an increasingly important role in the local economy.
The Birmingham and Mobile Town Hall meetings provided all participants with a better understanding of Alabama's ties to Europe, and the benefits and challenges that a free-trade agreement with Europe could bring.
The Foundation's TTIP Town Hall program is supported by a grant from the European Commission and is dedicated to fostering greater American awareness of and debate on TTIP. It seeks to air a wide variety of views on a possible free-trade agreement, often from people and associations whose voices would otherwise not be heard. In this way, the program attempts to enhance the democratic process behind the TTIP negotiations.
The Town Hall program also focuses on TTIP's possible US local and regional aspects by expanding the free-trade discussion beyond Washington, DC. The Bertelsmann Foundation will host two additional 2015 Town Hall meetings in Columbus, Ohio and Los Angeles, California.

What to Look For When Buying a Juicer!
Juicing is the thing now days. It is very popular.
When buying a juicer try to put the following criteria into consideration; they will save you time and stress in the near future.
A: Your Needs
Why do you want a juicer, what are you going to use it for? And how much are you prepared to spend to get the kind of juicer you're looking for.
If you have the answers to these 3 main questions; then you are on the right track to getting the best juicer that fits your needs.
B: Types of Juicers
There are 3 main types of Juicer Machines
#1: Centrifugal Juicers also known as Fast Juicers
They are cheap and quite popular in the market today. They produce juice very fast by separating juice from the pulp. However, in the process of producing juice; they leave a bit wet fibres which results into getting less juice compared to the juice produced by the masticating juicing machines using the same ingredients
- Hard stuff like apples works very well with centrifugal.
- Easy to clean and setup but quite too noisy compared to the slow juicers.
- Not good at juicing soft fruits like berries, greens and wheatgrass.
#2: Cold Press Juicers also known as Masticating Juicers or Slow Juicers
They push ingredients into a small area causing them to mash, producing more quality juice and more juice than the centrifugal juicers but very slow in action. They also produce much dry fibres than centrifugal hence less waste.
Slow juicers are very expensive compared to the centrifugal juicers; they can be used to juice vegetables, fruits, wheatgrass and leaf greens.
Some of them are flexible, and hence can be use to perform other tasks like making ice cream, butter nut, pasta and gridding coffee.
They come with long warranties for peace of mind, and to justify the initial investment.
These masticating juicers take time to clean as they come with so many detachable parts. Cleaning the parts immediately after finishing juicing is the best and quicker way to go. Do not leave them until the pulp have dried as it will cost you more time to scrub them hence wasting more time in the process.
#3:Citrus Juicers
These are juicers for specific needs e.g. orange or lemon juicer, carrot juicer, wheatgrass juicer and so forth. They are too small, quite cheap compared to the centrifugal and very specific in what they do.
C: Prices
Juicers prices ranges from £15 to more than £250 with pricier ones claimed to offer more value for money than the cheapest ones.
However you can get the best juicer at cheap price basing on what you want to use the juicer for.
Whether you decide to buy the centrifugal or masticating or citrus juicer; it is all boils down to how much you want to spend.
D: Dishwasher Safe
If you are not keen into manual cleaning your juicer; consider buying the one in which its parts are dishwasher safe. However just rinsing your juicer jug and its parts individually on running water is a quick way to go.
Some juicers include cleaning brushes for scrubbing the attachments.
E: Foam Separator
Do you want a juice clear of foam? Then choose a juice with a jug that includes a foam separator. A form separator is just a plastic attachment that holds back any form when pouring out the juice.
F: Feeding Chute
Do you want to save more time pre chopping fruits and vegetables? Then buy a juicer that has extra large feeding tube whereby you can just feed the machine without chopping your fruits and vegetables first. Do not forget to read the instruction manual first as other machines requires you to peel or chop the fruits and veg first adding them into the machine despite the size of the feeding tube.
G: Non- slip feet
For stability purpose, preventing the machine from moving around while juicing; most of the juicers have non-slip feet.
H: Speeds
The best juicer offers either speed options: slow speed for soft ingredients and high speed for hard ingredients or soft fruit disc.
I: Citrus Press
To make lemon or orange juices consider buying a juicer machine with a citrus press attachment.
Blenders vs. Juicers
Blender or Juicer, which is better? Blenders give you most of your fruits and vegetables by crushing all of the ingredients together without remove the pulp to make a smoothie when compared to juicers that takes the pulp away from the juice.
But if you just want a clear drink; juicer is the way to go
