While it is good to see that there are many leadership programs in the market for different parts of the world, there are several limitations of the existing leadership programs. Primarily, most of the programs focus on skills (i.e., "the doing") of leaders without much consideration for the inner qualities (i.e., "the being") of leaders. While skills are important, leaders with skills are just technicians or technocrats who are driven by their basic motives of acquiring fame or earning more money. However, true leaders are motivated by caring, concern and moral values. Eight universities funded by a private foundation worked together to develop service leadership education programs. In this book, the authors wish to document the achievements of different institutions and highlight their specific projects using specific foci. The authors hope that through the publication of this book, service leadership education can flourish in different services and economies. (Imprint: Nova).

The National Eye Institute is a great resource to understand eye conditions. For example, you can learn more about glaucoma–
Glaucoma is a group of diseases that damage the eye's optic nerve and can result in vision loss and blindness. However, with early detection and treatment, you can often protect your eyes against serious vision loss. The optic nerve is a bundle of more than 1 million nerve fibers. It connects the retina to the brain. (See diagram above.) The retina is the light-sensitive tissue at the back of the eye. A healthy optic nerve is necessary for good vision. Learn more here.

Seventies exploitation cinema is chock full of things like TERROR CIRCUS (aka BARN OF THE NAKED DEAD, aka NIGHTMARE CIRCUS), but there is better stuff to start with if you enjoy this sort of thing. This flick's various titles are a great come-on—I mean, who isn't curious about what goes on in the Barn of the Naked Dead? And a circus sounds fun anytime. Alas, TERROR CIRCUS is a decidedly hit-and-miss affair. I know it has its fans, but for many, the pic will wear out its welcome, even at less than 90 minutes.
Three showgirls (Manuella Theiss, Sherry Alberoni, and Gyl Roland) are traveling to Vegas for a gig when their car breaks down in the desert. In no time at all, they end up in the clutches of Andre (Prine) who adds them to a menagerie of captive women he keeps in his barn. Viewers who demand some sensibility in their drive-in dreck may wonder how Andre manages to control a group of at least ten women when he is never armed with anything more lethal than a bullwhip—and he doesn't even have that with him all the time. His main technique seems to be simply grabbing someone by the wrist while she cries and begs, and the other nine women look on anxiously. Something tells me if he tried this in real life, he'd quickly be face down in the straw with ten hippie women making it rain go-go boots on him. Ah, but I guess that's the magic of the movies.
Turns out that Andre has a circus fetish and likes to dress up like a ringmaster and crack the whip at his captives like they're a bunch of performing animals. His rather sad collection of real "circus animals" consists of a cougar of some sort and a big snake, both of which he sics on the ladies when the notion strikes him. Sorry no gorillas, clowns, or human oddities in this circus. Well, actually, there is one oddity. Turns out the government used to conduct vaguely described "experiments" involving radiation or atom bombs or something in this neck of the desert back in the day. The radiation took its toll on Andre's dad, who is now a big, grotesque cannibal creature penned up in a small outbuilding. As you might imagine, he doesn't stay penned up for long. After an hour or so of circus-themed abuse and murder, the film climaxes with a big escape attempt, as the sheriff and the showgirls' agent finally figure out what's going on and all hell breaks loose.
TERROR CIRCUS is nowhere near as explicit or disturbing as it could be. Whether that's a plus or minus is up to you. There are brief flashes of nudity and a reasonable amount of ketchup-like blood. There are also one or two satisfyingly meaty gore effects, thanks to Byrd Holland, who had recently handled the make-up effects for LEMORA: A CHILD'S TALE OF THE SUPERNATURAL, a film with comparable budgetary limitations but a more affecting atmosphere. According to Holland in the accompanying featurette, a few frames of gore had to be sacrificed in order to avoid an X-rating. Really, the most transgressive aspect of the film is the domination-of-women theme, which was hardly unique during this era. TERROR CIRCUS never quite gets humorous or even campy, at least not deliberately so, but it also never approaches the grim realism of a LAST HOUSE ON THE LEFT or the relentless intensity of THE TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE. True, the picture does achieve, at least at times, an off-kilter eeriness in keeping with the circus milieu. Much of this can be credited to the score by Tommy Vig (THEY CALL ME BRUCE?), which mixes free-form jazz with circus drumroll/oompah flourishes. Sometimes it works quite well, but there are many points in the picture when the score is trying so hard it becomes distracting.
Kino Lorber presents Code Red Video's sharp, spotless scan with only one notable extra—an archival 24-minute interview featurette with a few members of the cast and crew. Every source seems to give a different time length for this picture. Here, Kino's packaging gives it as 91 minutes, but the actual disk has an 84-minute cut. TERROR CIRCUS is probably worth a watch for the parts that do work, including the all-in performance from Andrew Prine, the goofy monster make-up and gore, and a certain degree of "let's put on a show" low budget charm. And if you just like to see hippy chicks being terrorized, this one has a place on your shelf.
When he's not casually shuffling across dry creek beds, Chris Herzog is a writer, researcher, and teacher. His film criticism can also be found in Screem magazine and back issues of the late, lamented Video WatcH*Dog.

Do the Spice children all get on? Mel C talks
Sporty Spice reveals that the Spice offspring are close buddies – and there may even be a marriage on the horizon!
The Spice Girls are soon to have 11 children between them, and Mel C, who has daughter Scarlet, 2, has been talking about how great it is seeing them all together and becoming the best of friends.
"Geri's daughter, Bluebell, is such a sweetheart. She's very motherly with Scarlet and that's lovely to see," Mel explained to the Daily Mirror.
"The Beckham boys are so lovely. They're always very sweet when they visit. Scarlet's much smaller than them and they take care of her," said Mel, hinting that the Beckham boys will be great brothers to their unborn little sister.
The Beckham boys, though, are too late to be chasing after little Scarlet's heart, as she already has a boyfriend in the shape of Emma Bunton's son, Beau.
"Beau's absolutely gorgeous. We're giving them a healthy nudge towards each other," joked Mel.

How Does Smart Lighting Control Improve LED Performance?
Lutron and Ketra simplify LED control for a more beautiful, comfortable, and efficient household.
Thanks to the Mile High Tree in downtown Denver, the city is bringing holiday joy to citizens with the power of light. The choreographed display is a festive treat for many residents experiencing a different kind of winter this year.
And there's no reason you can't do the same! Advances in fixtures and smart lighting control have revolutionized the way homeowners interact with and enjoy their properties. Energy management, comfort, and beauty have never been easier to achieve than with the latest lighting systems from Lutron and Ketra.
By upgrading with LED lights and centralizing control with a smart system, lighting doesn't just become more straightforward. You'll join other homeowners who've leaped into the next generation of technology, thanks to efficient, long-lasting fixtures, intuitive control, and new developments in dimming.
Still haven't decided to upgrade your lighting system? Here are four facts that might change your mind.
See Also: HOW LUTRON LIGHTING CONTROL PROMOTES WELLNESS
LED Is Expanding Rapidly
When you hear about "revolutionary" technology, it's easy to turn up your nose. The HD DVDs and Google Glass in your closet can attest to that. But LED lighting is different. It's one of the most rapidly adopted technologies in recent memory.
According to the Low Carbon Economy Report, LED is growing faster than many other recent "revolutionary" technologies, like solar energy and hybrid cars. This means it's likely that you've seen friends and neighbors who are already enjoying the benefits.
LED Make a Difference
Additionally, if going green is important to you, upgrading with LED is much more than an empty gesture. As stated in the Energy Savings Forecast Report, LED lighting will have saved 890 billion dollars in the US by 2035. You can be part of the change as well.
But you'll also see the benefits in your day to day usage. LED fixtures can last up to 25 times longer than traditional incandescent bulbs, and they can save you up to 80 percent on costs over ten years, according to USA Today.
Smart Control Adds Value
More efficient energy usage also contributes to increased home value. LED fixtures are long-lasting devices that lower your home's operating costs, so it becomes much more desirable on the market.
And while adding an LED lighting system to your home will instantly save your money and operate efficiently. By combining them with advanced smart control, you can increase your property value even more!
According to VentureBeat, more than 80 percent of homeowners already familiar with smart home devices would pay more for an already connected property. With an estimated 175 million smart homes in the world, that number will only grow over time.
Ketra Improves LED
Some homeowners resist the idea of upgrading because they think LED light is unappealing. The white light they give off is too off-putting, unflattering, and cold-looking. It's a common problem and one that smart lighting control leader Lutron has solved.
Ketra tunable lighting is designed to promote wellness within the household. By automatically adjusting to match your circadian rhythms, the system helps you feel better throughout the day, more active in the daytime, ready for rest in the evening.
But to achieve the effect, Ketra had to tackle another problem: warm dimming. LEDs historically have dimmed to a dull gray, reducing the beauty of the light. But Ketra's approach is different. Their Dynamic Spectrum solution combines red, green, and blue primary light sources with phosphor-converted LED to create a natural warm dim.
In other words, Ketra LEDs dim like traditional incandescent lights -- without the drawbacks.

We will add $350 to your Rollover account balance every year you meet the requirements listed above up to a maximum of $1,000. That is the most money you can accumulate in your Rollover account at any time. This amount is called the Accumulated Rollover Maximum. Frequently Asked Questions Q. Are any expenses not included when determining the amount of claims paid during a Calendar Year? A. Yes, claims for Orthodontia services, deductibles, coinsurance, co-pays, non-covered amounts, charges billed by non-par providers which exceed the allowed amount for the services rendered or balance billing amounts you may owe are not included in the total paid claims amount (Yearly Threshold Amount) when determining your eligibility to rollover dollars to the next Calendar Year. Q. When paying a claim, will the Calendar Year Maximum dollars or the Maximum Rollover dollars be used first? A. The Calendar Year Maximum dollars will be used first and then the Maximum Rollover dollars. Q. Will the Maximum Rollover dollars be affected if claims have not been received by the last day of the calendar year? A. If claims for services covered in the prior year are received after February 15; the Rollover calculation will be adjusted. ROFlyer 10/09

Respondent: Rakesh Kumar Sharma, Research Officer & CPIO, National Commission for Scheduled Castes, Kendriya Sadan, Sector-9A, Chandigarh present through VC.
Appellant stated that he is aggrieved with the fact that no reply has been received on the RTI Application till date neither from the Director nor from the CPIO, though the RTI Application was transferred to the Director & Appellate Authority, NCSC, Chandigarh on 22.08.2016
Upon the instance of the Commission, CPIO submitted that Raj Kumar Chhanena was the Director on the date of filing of RTI Application. He further submitted that the averred letter dated 28.11.2016 is not traceable at their office. He furthermore submitted that he came to know about the instant RTI Application only after receiving the Commission's notice of hearing.
In light of the averments of the Appellant, CPIO is directed to thoroughly search the letter dated 28.11.2016 in their office records mentioned in the RTI Application and provide available and relevant information with respect to the action taken on the said letter to the Appellant free of cost. In the event, if the CPIO still maintains that the letter is not traceable, he is directed to file an appropriate affidavit to this effect stating that the letter dated 28.11.2016 under reference could not be traced by him in the office despite best efforts. The affidavit should be sent by the CPIO to the Commission with its copy duly endorsed to the Appellant within 15 days from the date of receipt of this order.
Commission considers Raj Kumar Chhanena, the then Director, National Commission for Scheduled Castes, Kendriya Sadan, Sector-9A, Chandigarh as the Deemed CPIO because the RTI Application was transferred to him and no reply was provided to the Appellant. The conduct of Raj Kumar Chhanena, the then Director & Deemed CPIO for not providing any reply on the RTI Application amounts to a gross violation of the provisions of RTI Act. It also raises a reasonable doubt that the deemed refusal of information was with malafide intent. Raj Kumar Chhanena, the then Director & Deemed CPIO is hereby directed through the present CPIO to send his written submission to show cause as to why action should not be initiated against him/her under Section 20 of the RTI Act for failing to comply with the provisions of RTI Act. The written submissions of Raj Kumar Chhanena, the then Director & Deemed CPIO should reach the Commission within 30 days from the date of receipt of this order failing which ex-parte action may be initiated in the matter.
The present CPIO is further directed to ensure service of this order on Raj Kumar Chhanena, the then Director and Deemed CPIO at his present address and to forward his written submissions within the stipulated time frame.
The Appeal is disposed of accordingly.

The world can't stop talking about ISIS bride Shamima Begum and her quest to come back into the UK and even though I think the whole thing is a media blitz designed to push the ultimate failing of the Brexit negotiations off the front page, we can't stop talking about her either.
Featured Image VIA
Last night, Shamima received a letter from Sajid Javid saying that she wasn't welcome back in the UK and she had lost her citizenship at the refugee camp where she's staying in Syria where she's also just given birth. Here's what she had to say about the development:
I don't know what to say.
I am not that shocked but I am a bit shocked. It's a bit upsetting and frustrating. I feel like it's a bit unjust on me and my son.
Image VIA
Another option I might try with my family is my husband is from Holland and he has family in Holland.
Maybe I can ask for citizenship in Holland. If he gets sent back to prison in Holland I can just wait for him while he is in prison.
I heard that other people are being sent back to Britain so I don't know why my case is any different to other people
Or is it just because I was on the news four years ago?
I mean I suppose she has a point there because apparently 425 former jihadi fighters have been allowed back into the country following or during the collapse of the caliphate. Why should Shamima be treated any differently? I don't really think any of them should be allowed into the country, but it seems like her story is just being promoted to provoke outrage amongst much of the nation and keep the focus off the impending disaster of Brexit. Think about it.
For more of the same, check out Danny Dyer's thoughts on the issue. Even he's talking about it and not Brexit.

Q&A: Iris Slappendel on the COVID compliance crisis in women's cycling
Leader of the riders' alliance on teams' Catch-22 between compliance to COVID regulations and financial burden they impose.
Heading out the door? Read this article on the new Outside+ app available now on iOS devices for members! Download the app.
The Emakumeen Nafarroako Klasikoa on Thursday marked both a bright day and dark warning for women's pro cycling.
The Spanish race was the first women's professional competition since the coronavirus racing pause; the light that had motivated riders through a long spring in lockdown. However, it also highlighted the newest and biggest challenge impacting both the men's and women's peloton – the ability to race safely in a world still battling COVID-19.
Just the night before Thursday's race, The Cyclists' Alliance, the independent group supporting the female peloton, sounded an alarm bell over failings by race organizers to prove the UCI's new COVID protocol had been followed.
Soon afterward, CCC-Liv stepped out of Thursday's race and Friday's Clasica Femenina Navarra for concerns over safety. Shortly after that, a swathe of teams were withdrawn from Thursday's Emakumeen Nafarroako Klasikoa due to a lack of compliance with the coronavirus guidance.
While Thursday's race may have suggested business as usual, with Annameik Van Vleuten scooping a solo win, the events before it could tell a story for the season to come.
VeloNews spoke to Iris Slappendel, director of The Cyclists' Alliance, about what can be learned from Thursday's events, the operational and financial implications that health measures can place on already-underfunded women's teams, and what the TCA is doing to try to help.
VeloNews: Just the night before the Emakumeen Nafarroako Klasikoa, the TCA raised a warning about compliance to health protocol at the race. What led to that?
Iris Slappendel: We weren't specifically investigating that one race. The last few weeks we've been studying the UCI guidelines to be able to ask questions, give input and explain it to the riders in webinars that we are running.
The days before the race, Claire Rose [the TCA's doctor and medical point of contact] and Tessa Backhuijs [CCC-Liv's doctor] were preparing the webinars we're running to help riders understand the UCI's COVID guidance. Tessa raised a lot of concerns about the lack of proof that all guidelines had been followed by teams and race organizers.
That, combined with messages we got in the past few days from riders as well as some DS's, made us try to find out more about the conditions.
VN: Are you satisfied with the support and guidance the UCI is giving teams and race organizers around COVID?
IS: The question is, what is UCI's role in this area? They've created a calendar, they've set the guidelines. That's it. But is it their responsibility to do the testing for example, or to help teams to get to race safely or help race organizers? Common sense would say yes, but at the same time they're just a governing body – they're just there to set regulations.
Maybe we expect a bit too much from the UCI. They are doing what they can. I think that the resources of the UCI are too limited right now to support the women's peloton as well as the men.
VN: The UCI issued its COVID guidance last week. Are you satisfied that it was fit for purpose?
IS: The COVID guidelines really are a balance. It's a difficult document because it covers men's and women's cycling, and there is a difference.
Probably if you would ask a doctor, they would say the guidelines aren't good enough for a rider while a race organizer would say the guidance makes it impossible to organize a race – and there's a sense they're struggling to keep up with it. And if you would ask a team, they would say it's a massive extra amount of work and costs on them. So you know, probably no one's happy with it because it's trying to balance every stakeholder. And that is a difficult task.
VN: Are you concerned about the financial burdens that keeping up with coronavirus protocol will place on teams?
IS: I am. And that's also a discussion we had with the CPA and UCI.
Teams are responsible for their riders, but maybe there is now a bit too much responsibility on them. For example, we asked the UCI about how every team needs a doctor to follow the guidance. A lot of continental teams don't have a doctor, so they have to hire one to do the tests or to process the results. And that's next to the cost of doing the actual test. And I think maybe the UCI wasn't even aware of the fact that Continental teams don't have the obligation to have a doctor according to their rules. So it's been maybe quite an eye-opener for them as well.
Talking to a lot of teams, they do have a lot of problems and they don't have the resources to comply to all these rules. And the risk is now that only the teams who have a big budget are able to comply to the rules and are able to race. The problem is the UCI had to set a guideline that is safe for everyone to race – they cannot set one guideline for smaller teams but then that's not safe for everyone else. And they've done their best to be thorough, but that costs.
VN: TCA ran a series of webinars earlier this week to help the women's peloton digest the protocol. Can you explain what led to the decision to create these sessions?
IS: The COVID guidelines are such a comprehensive document, even for me it's a lot to read and get my head around. So we thought probably most riders are not going to read it or not understand half of it, so the two webinars we're doing are really explaining the guidelines and highlighting what is important for riders to know.
There is a sense that the protocol has overwhelmed people. There's such a big disparity in professionalism within the women's peloton. I think a lot of riders don't get the information passed from their team – I think some teams don't really communicate down to their riders very well. And that's kind of understandable because these guidelines came through at such short notice and also there is so much stuff in it that is quite complicated.
We thought if a team doesn't have a doctor – and a lot of Continental teams don't have one – is the guidance understandable for them? So we're trying to help highlight with our sessions what the team is responsible for, what the race organizer is responsible for, and bullet-point the guidelines so the riders can make sure whether the team or they personally have applied them.
There was also input from the doctor from CCC-Liv and Sunweb that focuses on what a rider personally can do to ensure they're healthy and safe, covering hygiene, travel, using protective equipment. A lot of that is based on questions that we got from the riders in the past few weeks because they're really worried about getting sick and how to protect themselves.
VN: How do you feel about what happened at the Emakumeen Nafarroako Klasikoa Thursday, and what does it mean for the season to come?
IS: In a strange way, it's made me optimistic. It shows that the teams were aware enough of the health protocol to act, and I think the work we're doing and the statement we made earlier this week helped.
The actions of CCC-Liv really helped to raise the topic and make everyone aware that most importantly, races need to publish a risk assessment, to confirm that the COVID protocols have been followed and that all riders have been tested. I think it's important to realize that's the minimum needed to have a safe race.
I think that everyone was maybe a little bit, 'Well, you know, it's not a real WorldTour race. So we'll see what happens.' And I think we're living at a time now where we shouldn't think, 'We'll see what happens.' If we do that it could be the end of the season right away if it goes wrong here in Spain.

This blog follows my recent blog on December 2021's Sidley expedition. As indicated in that blog, there was one additional person who had then completed the Volcanic Seven Summits. I can now report that two more individuals can now be added to the list. So this blog provides an updated list of Volcanic Seven Summiters – January 2022. [Note that my main Volcanic Seven Summits page contains the current updated list.]
In addition to Yousef al Refaie who completed last month, we now have Robbi Malandreniotis (UK) and Jarryd Commerford (USA/UK/IRE) who summited Ojos del Salado on 9th January 2022.
It sounds like the ascent was fairly brutal with a 16 hour round trip. That compares with the 11½ hours I took when I did the climb. But many congratulations to them both.
There are now 26 climbers on the list. Five are women and 15 have also climbed one or other (or both) versions of the Seven Summits.
With people completing the Volcanic Seven Summits on the same day, I list them in alphabetical order by surname. So, if it matters, the list does not necessarily reflect the order in which people reached a summit. I have noted them with the same number rather than seeking to give any individual preference over any other.
As ever I remain aware of a number of people who have just one or two more volcanoes to climb in order to complete the challenge. For most, but certainly not all, this is Mount Sidley.
But I imagine that I am unaware of others who are close to finishing. If anyone reading this blog has any information anyone who is pursuing this challenge I would be glad to have it. Likewise if there are any errors or omissions in the list please let me know. I am always happy to correct these.

And the Seven Summits?
None of the recent completers have current seven summits ambitions. So there have been no changes to the details in the next couple of paragraphs as far as I am aware.
Aleks Abramov, Vitaliy Simonovic, Dan Bull, Ted Fairhurst, Satyarup Siddhanta and David Roskelley have also completed the seven continental summits (both Carstensz and Kosciuszko versions).
Mario Trimeri, François Bernard, David Hamilton, Vladislav Lachkaryev, Vaughan de la Harpe, Arthur Marsden and Oleg Mezentsev have completed the seven continental summits (Carstensz version).
Andrey Filkov and Katie Sarah have completed the seven continental summits (Kosciuszko version).
I have consistently written before that the V7S challenge is becoming more popular. There is a trend amongst those who have completed the 7S to look for other endeavours to complete. Perhaps this is not surprising for a group of driven individuals. The V7S is a part of this. But there are other challenges.
So François Bernard, Vitaliy Simonovich, Vladislav Lachkaryev, Vaughan de la Harpe and Arthur Marsden have also skied to the North and South Poles. You can expect at least a couple more achieving this combination in the course of the coming year, Covid-19 permitting.
I am also aware of other challenges that are being looked at.
But who has actually climbed the highest volcano in Australia? Should this not be one of the Volcanic Seven Summits?

A dog named Vinny is recovering, but is still "extremely underweight and frightened," after he was found Monday abandoned in a trash bag on the side of the road in southwest suburban Willow Springs, authorities say.
The pit bull was found "cold and severely dehydrated" in a double-bagged trash bag on Forest Avenue, just north of 87th Street in the Buffalo Woods forest preserve, Cook County spokeswoman Natalia Derevyanny said in a statement.
Cook County Animal and Rabies Control warden John Haralamos rushed to the scene and brought the dog to a vet, according to the statement.
The dog is now recovering at South Suburban Humane Society, where staff have named him Vinny.
Cook County sheriff's police is investigating the incident, and is asking anyone with information to call 708-865-4700.

Winston Blick taught me how to make bacon. Well, okay, Michael Ruhlman did in the New York Times, but whatever. Even though at the time we had never met, Winston sold me the pork, spent a few minutes with me giving me tips and made me feel like I was ready to tackle yet another home cooking project. And I was so thankful for it. I had heard about Winston, eaten at his restaurants, but it wasn't until the day I bought pork belly at the Green Onion on Harford Road did I actually meet the guy. What a nice guy.
Winston grew up in Anne Arundel County and both sides of his family were watermen from around Shady Side. The Wolford side focused on oysters, the Avery side on pretty much everything that came out of the water, fish, shellfish, etc. That stuck with him.
At 24, Winston got the city bug. His friends had been moving to Baltimore and he wanted to be with the cool kids. The punk rock music scene was happening and, well, it seemed like a lot of fun. Of course, after moving to the city, Winston needed a job. "You know, so I could afford my cool lifestyle," laughs Blick.
He got a job washing dishes at McCafferty's in Mt. Washington, the now closed steak house owned by Don McCafferty of the Baltimore Colts. He was a hard worker and moved up the line quickly. He learned the basics of cooking, knife skills, and more. Then he moved onto One World Cafe in Tuscany-Canterbury where he cooked, and one day sliced his hand open severing two tendons. Other than injuring himself every so often, he was pretty happy.
"I liked being in charge of myself. And what I do now is really not that much different. I am just better at it all and use better ingredients, better sourcing. I liked to make what I wanted to eat. That was pretty great." Winston expanded on that, "You know, cooking is very intuitive. Chefs right out of culinary school can do well with intuition and drive, but you need to understand flavors. That's a huge part of it, too."
Then, a few years late, Cristin Dadant enters the picture…Winston's wife, partner, manager and doer of many super important things that no one really sees. Winston had been cooking at Sobo Cafe in Federal Hill, where he would stay for 10 years, and Cristin was waiting tables at Sobo, along with Chameleon Cafe (which is now Maggie's Farm) and Brewer's Art and they had known each other for a while.
They dated and then got pretty serious, moved in together, eventually moving up to the north part of the city that often happens when you have little kids. Winston and I both joked that when people in Baltimore have kids, they immediately MUST MOVE NORTH. (Not always, of course…) We were cracking up, like you know, "It's the law in Baltimore!" But really, Cristin was in nesting mode and just wanted more room for their son Zeke and living up in Hamilton just was a good fit for them. By 2007 they were officially Hamilton residents.
Since catering was something they did a lot of, they were looking for a space to expand. They kept walking by the Clementine space on Harford Road, thinking it was great. Great light, small space, they loved it. It had been a soul food cafe and they loved the space. (One side note, the entire interior was covered in mirrors. Mirrors everywhere.) They bought the place and really thought they'd cater out of it, but it just made more sense to make the space a restaurant. The first night they opened, they had a line out the door and got national press and that was kind of mind blowing to them. Packed every night, the restaurant had Winston and Cristin working their tails off while their Moms took care of little Zeke most evenings. "Family is very, very important to me. Zeke is a good, decent kid because of his upbringing and being around family," he says. (Love that.)
Was food a big part of your upbringing? Did you cook when you were a kid?
WB: I didn't cook a lot but food was huge. I was raised by a single mother and she was pretty creative with simple, inexpensive ingredients. We lived near my grandparents and spent a ton of time with them. My grandfather and uncle owned some property in Trappe, Maryland and we hunted there and we ate everything we hunted. They also had a huge vegetable garden – I mean HUGE. Dinners were around a very large table filled with bowls and bowls of good food. We did lots of canning and pickling, too.
Lots of kids get to choose their meal on their birthday…anything they want (to a point, I suppose…) What would your birthday meal be now? What was it when you were a kid?
WB: Can I call my mom? (Ha, I told him that Bryan Voltaggio actually DID call his mom during our interview to ask her…)
As a kid, it would have a whole day of special favorites. French toast for breakfast. And my mom would pack me a really cool lunch – you know, not the usual PB&J. Then dinner would be something hearty like venison and mashed potatoes. So good. Now? I like to go out and have steamed crabs. We go to Costa's – we love it there. Sometimes, sushi. When I go out, I like to eat things I don't usually make. But really, crabs are my favorite.
How did you choose your location? I know it's sometimes hard to get people to Hamilton even though it's not far away. Were you at all hesitant?
WB: Hesitant? Yes. We live in Lauraville and it's such a great community. Being here just feels right to us. It feels good to be investing in our community. One thing was clear from the start, it had to be family-friendly, but not sort of dumbed down kid food. No way. We also wanted a place that our friends and neighbors could afford and was also really good. Good food, good ingredients. We knew it was a risk and that we'd have to work really, really hard, but we wanted to be in Hamilton.
You do quite a bit of catering. What kinds of events do you like to do best? What's your niche there? I remember that cake you did at Susannah Siger's (Ma Petite Shoe) that was simply stacked wheels of cheese…I will never forget that cake!
WB: Well, first, it was Susannah and Amanda's idea to do that cake, but yeah, that's kind of our thing – a little bit different. When I really think about it, we pride ourselves on being able to do anything anywhere. Middle of a field on a horse farm? Done. On an island? Done. Also, we've done a lot of same-sex weddings and we are so proud of that. It's really humbling to know that we are a part of someone's big day that a few years ago wasn't even legal. We're part of history. That's pretty great, you know?
What food trend can you absolutely not stand?
WB: Not really, I think of it this way: lots of food trends make us think and eat differently. Whether it's roasting fries using duck fat, breaking down pig parts into charcuterie or making Korean-inspired dishes like tacos and kimchi, I'm into it. More people are eating adventurously nowadays. I think that's cool.
What do you like about Baltimore?
WB: It's home. The community of people here. And the food scene is just blowing up. So many talented folks here. It's neat that we're competing with other cities now, that's why Food Network keeps coming back. People like Bryan Voltaggio certainly wouldn't have opened up places here even just five years ago. It's great.
What do you love about food?
WB: Well, it makes me really happy. (laughs) I love that it reminds me of things and people. For me, its never been just fuel. I don't like to eat on the run.
How do you balance home and work? Your son is young – that can't be easy.
WB: I am super lucky that our chef Matt (Singer) is an incredibly competent, easy going dude. I don't have to be here all the time. I spend a lot of time with Zeke. I grew up without a father and I don't want Zeke to have anything like that. I am very present. Cristin and I live and work together and we're kind of like orbiting planets. We do talk about trying to do things on our own as a couple, but it just doesn't happen very often. She honestly works harder than anyone I know.
Do you have time to watch any food TV? If so, are there any celebrity chefs you'd like to work with?
WB: Not much food TV happening at our house. This is gonna sounds nuts, but I have to say that Guy Fieri is a really genuinely nice guy. That's something that's always bothered me – people love to hate him, but he's not a jerk. At all. Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives is a fun show to watch. While Clementine is not any of those three things, it's cool to watch and see the people he meets and what they're doing. You think, I wanna go there! That's good stuff.
What are some of your favorite restaurants in the city? Where do you take Cristin for those elusive date nights?
WB: The Helmand comes to mind immediately. It is the most consistent place we've ever eaten. Also (laughs), it's ethnic but not too weird to take your mom, you know?! But like a lot of chefs, we don't get out that much. I also want to eat more of my Exec Chef Matt's food. He's so talented. Even now – all these years later – I'm excited to eat at Clem. Also, I'm dying to get to Bottega. And, yeah, Parts & Labor. George Marsh is a bad ass chef.
Okay, obligatory…when you cook at home, what do you like to make? Do you cook with Zeke? Do you have a favorite "go to" meal?
WB: Go to meal? Does RoFo fried chicken count? (Me: Um, yes.) Yeah, we love to get Royal Farms fried chicken. Get the chicken fingers – they are amazing! We always hide the trash from Cristin… As for cooking, we tend to get sick of the same thing over and over. We try to do lots of fish, curry-ish style (coconut milk, onions, garlic, tomato…) and Zeke really loves meat. We'll do a simple seared hanger steak with broccoli and mashed potatoes. I could eat that everyday.

With 825 miles of beaches to choose from, it's hard to resist the relaxing waters, stunning sunrises and sunsets and sand that ranges from powdery smooth and white to hard-packed and dotted with seashells and other treasures. Indeed, Florida beaches are among the best beaches in the world, consistently taking top rankings in international travel publications and on beach expert lists.

The Sunshine State draws a diverse array of visitors from all over the world, eager to experience a spa-like experience in nature, with the soothing lullaby of waves, sea salt air, the soft song of seagulls and beautiful sunsets and sunrises casting beautiful colors against the sky. But not all are here for just mere beauty and serenity. Some like the quirky beach shops and bars, some crave sport fishing and snorkeling, while others like music, dancing and the company of others late into the night.
Beaches in Florida have it all, as long as you know just where to look. There's no shortage of charming getaways, nightlife hotspots and fishing meccas along the state's coastline. Both the Gulf and Atlantic sides have plenty of cool or quaint towns with their own sandy shores, attracting both young and old looking to escape busy lives.
A unique cruising destination combining world class city life and azure waters.

British audio company Bowers & Wilkins (B&W) has taken the wraps off the $999 Panorama 3 — its very first Dolby Atmos-capable soundbar. The all-in-one speaker is available starting March 3 at bowerswilkins.com and select B&W retailers. At that price, the Panorama 3 joins a growing collection of near-$1,000 Dolby Atmos soundbars that includes the $899 Sonos Arc, $899 Bose Smart Soundbar 900, and $1,000 Sony HT-A5000.
B&W might be best known in audiophile circles for its $35,000 per pair floor-standing loudspeakers, but the company also knows a thing or two about building speaker systems for those who want to keep things simple. In fact, that's the whole premise behind the Panorama 3: There's no wireless subwoofer, no HDMI inputs, and no option for rear speakers. Instead, B&W has put everything you need inside one remarkably slender speaker enclosure. There are 13 individual drivers, including three 3/4-inch dome tweeters, six 2-inch cone bass/midranges, two 2-inch cone Atmos (height) drivers, and twin 4-inch subwoofers — all powered by 400 watts of amplification. The result, B&W says, is "a room-filling and powerful sound no one-box rival can match."
That's a significant departure from the design of the Panorama 2, which acted as both soundbar and A/V receiver replacement, with a slew of HDMI inputs and the ability to add a wired subwoofer. But just because the Panorama 3 lacks some of these goodies doesn't mean it's lacking in features.
The two main connections are an optical input and an HDMI ARC/eARC input, both of which can be used directly with your TV over a single cable. Your TV will need to support Dolby Atmos over HDMI ARC/eARC, otherwise you'll be limited to Dolby 5.1 surround sound. From a wireless perspective, the Panorama has Bluetooth 5, with aptX Adaptive, AAC, and SBC codecs, plus Wi-Fi and Apple's AirPlay 2 technology.
Those wireless connections will let you stream virtual audio from a smartphone or laptop, but if you want to take advantage of the Panorama's hi-res chops, it works with the B&W Music app. Within the app you'll find access to Tidal, Qobuz, Deezer, Soundcloud, and TuneIn.
It's also an Alexa-enabled smart speaker, letting you control a wide range of smart home and audio functions using voice commands. Alexa can also join the Panorama 3 to a multiroom audio setup, but B&W is planning its own mutlitoom feature. Shortly after launch, it will provide a software update that will make the Panorama 3 compatible with the company's Formation line of wireless speakers, as well as its latest Zeppelin. Rounding out its features is Spotify Connect compatibility.
There's no remote control — B&W encourages you to use your TV remote for that — but it does include a wall-mount bracket in the box, something most companies only offer as a paid option.

Medicare Open Enrollment is approaching! This year's enrollment period starts on October 15th, so it is about time to start preparing!1 Here are our 6 tips for Medicare enrollment prep:
Understand the enrollment periods
The initial enrollment period consists of seven months, starting three months before you turn 65 and ending three months later. The annual Open Enrollment period occurs between October 15th and December 7th where you can drop or switch your plan coverage. General Medicare Enrollment period is for those who miss the Initial Enrollment period and can sign up between January 1st and March 31st.
Be sure to check the mail
Medicare and Social Security notices may be headed your way, so keep an eye out for important information, including the Annual Notice of Changes (ANOC), for those currently on a Medicare plan. This notice will include information about changes to coverage, costs, or service area that will become effective in January 2023. This notice is sent out by your Medicare Plan provider, and you should look to receive it sometime during September.
This is the time to review
Review your current coverage and determine if you will need to change your coverage in the upcoming enrollment period. You can request a copy of the Trek Medicare eGuide by contacting your financial advisor. This handbook will look at pricing in the current year to help you determine if you may need to update coverage for next year. You can also take a peek at the Medicare Plan Finder to preview health and prescription drug plans. This medicare.gov resource allows you to create an account in order to see drug prices based on your needs, compare your current plan to others, access and store your drug list, and more.
Look into a Medicare Advantage plan
The original Medicare plan consists of Part A (hospital coverage), Part B (outpatient services), and Part D (prescription drugs). Now may be a good time to look into switching to a Medicare Advantage plan because it may provide more coverage than what your current setup allows for. Medicare Advantage acts as an all-in-one plan, including coverage for services like dental care and vision exams – services that are not covered under an original plan.
Keep track of your medications
It's important to take a quick inventory of the medications you're taking, even if it's just one or two. It might be a good idea to talk with your doctor to see if there are medications you may be likely to take after 65. This will help you look for plans with the right amount of prescription drug coverage for your needs.
Don't stress
Applying for Medicare coverage is not as difficult as you may think. Beneath all the bureaucracy and confusing terminology there is a logical system that can be understood once you break through the initial first steps. Your advisor will guide you through the process and clarify any confusion you may have.

Results of the Moscow Transport Complex Development in 2010-2020
The development of the Moscow transport complex is of strategic importance for the economic growth of the region and Russia as a whole. State program financing of the capital's transport makes up one fifth of the Moscow budget, which determines high requirements for the results of using public resources, but often changes in the program document negatively affect the analysis of the evolution of the transport complex.
The main results of the functioning of transport are reflected in 10 indicators of the Moscow Transport Strategy, for each of which a significant improvement was stated over the past decade. The multi-vector development of various types of transport and transport infrastructure led to the strengthening of Moscow's rating compared to nine other leading megacities of the world – from seventh position in 2010 to second in 2018.
Key words: transport, metro, taxi, car sharing, state program, target indicator, financing of transport development.
