As the recession loosens its tight grip on our economy and businesses, vehicle sales have begun to steadily climb nationwide. As a result, a very important decision is looming for auto dealers. Many of the customers that are purchasing today are doing so for the first time in several years. As they return to the dealership, what customers find and experience today will redefine their expectations and impressions for the foreseeable future. We are getting a second chance to make a first impression.
The auto industry, from the manufacturer down now has an unprecedented opportunity to alter the once speculative impression that most consumers have had regarding the dealership service business. So far, in my opinion, only General Motors and Ford have seized this opportunity and began to campaign to change the image of the dealership service department. Their television ads are compelling and insinuate that things are different and for the better. They push to inform customers about the advantages of factory trained experts and products. All good and long overdue.
But when a consumer returns to the department, is what they experience going to be different or just more of the same? Is anything really going to be different?
The following recommendations are mandatory for every dealer and manufacturer that strive to prove that things really are different and the dealership service experience is worth the customer's time and effort.
- Drop the aged mind set of "Service and Repair" and embrace the mindset of "Service and Service Retail". You are in a retail business that sells services and products. For this reason, the experience your customer receives will have to match that of what would be found at any major retailer. You have to look, act and feel like a retail establishment. If your customer is a Nordstrom's or Macy's customer, mimic them. If they are comfortable with Target, or find themselves steering towards Wal-Mart set out to mimic the corresponding experience. Although all of those retailers are vastly different in what level of product and service they offer, all are bright, exciting places to visit. The have set an expectation that consumers expect.

Video screens inside Jaber Lebanese Cuisine in College Park were flashing photos of menu items, a helpful aid to people unfamiliar with labnehs, kibbehs and kaftas. But then the screens showed the restaurant's name and logo, and underneath that "Since 1952."
Hmmm, I thought. If Jaber's been around since 1952 it hasn't been in this space. Most recently this was the home of Peppy Bistro and before that, Paxia.
So it turns out that the College Park Jaber is the first U.S. location of a Brazilian chain of nine restaurants whose owner is both Brazilian and Lebanese. Actually, the College Park Jaber is itself a second location – it had previously been on International Drive as Jaber Especialidades Árabes.
Jaber's menu is extensive and those video photos do come in handy. But even handier was the help and advice of the lone server working the dining room when my companion and I stopped in recently.
We started with a couple of esfihas (also known as sfiha; esfiha is the term used in Brazil). There are two categories, open and folded, and they are, depending on how you order it, comparable to a miniature pizza or a turnover.
From the list of open esfihas, we chose the zaatar, a small flatbread with dried herbs (the oregano and thyme were most prominent) and sesame seeds. It was best with a drizzle of olive oil.
From the list of unopen esfiha, we ordered the folded cheese, which had creamy ricotta and grilled onions inside the folded pastry. The filling was hot and oozy.
For my entree I chose the combo number two (probably should name that something else), which had a kofta kabob, stuffed grape leaves, a salad and Syrian rice. The kofta kabob was a skewered mold of ground beef, onions and parsley. The spicing was good but the flavor even better with a few splashes of Jaber's house-made hot sauce, a peppery blend with an olive-y overnote. The grape leaves, stuffed with a rice and beef mixture, were loosely rolled and had a prominent lemony flavor. The Syrian rice was a blend of long grain rice and short vermicelli – two of my favorite things, pasta and rice, all in one. The salad was a lightly dressed mix of lettuce, tomatoes, diced cucumbers and a bit of corn. Very refreshing.
My companion chose the rice with lentils, a nice vegetarian option, which had the little legumes blended with white rice and topped with caramelized onions.
There were many other tempting options, from lamb shawarma to falafels to baba ghanouj. I'll have to return to try them another time.
I noticed that the restaurant seemed to be doing more takeout business than dine-in. That may be because the website shows only delivery options. It may be, too, because the space isn't very inviting. The tables are bare and decor is minimal. One side of the space is blocked off in an abandoned-look sort of way.
But I don't think I would have enjoyed the food as much if I'd gotten it to go. The kind and welcoming greeting from the server added a lot to it.
Jaber Lebanese Cuisine is at 2611 Edgewater Drive, Orlando (map). It is open for lunch and dinner Tuesday through Sunday. The phone number is 407-601-4896.

Night Visions, February 2021
Codes: "IRL" = "in real life". "INV" = "in Night Vision", meaning untrue in real life.
"Skip" means a sudden transition from one segment to another. "The 1250" references my childhood home, a (too) frequent setting for my visions. Josie is my daughter, and most of my life has been spent with Chicken and Alex as friends. Any other people referenced, past jobs worked at or life experiences are real unless otherwise noted.

(Dates of awakening listed)
I DO Care What You Did, For The Record (February 28, 2021)
I'm in the street dragging my new grill to my old apartment, but there's no storage there and I'm forced to put it on the roof. But as I climb a ladder to said roof, the mission changes—still climbing the ladder, I'm now with local radio hosts Steiny, Guru and Dibs on a mission to find hosiery for our wives as "As Long As You Love Me" by the Backstreet Boys plays.
Next, I'm Modern Family actress Ariel Winter, filming an ad of myself graduating college in the 1250 driveway. But I blow my scene, and my part is given to the aforementioned Guru. Lastly, Hulk Hogan enters a 7-11, beats some idiot in a "match", then leaves.
There Was No Baseball in 1800 (February 24, 2021)
A day after Tiger Woods' IRL car crash, I help him from the hospital to his (rather small) house, then go to investigate the crash scene on my own. Somehow, I don't realize until arriving on the scene that I have no idea what I'm doing, and the "investigation" ceases.
Next, I find myself trying to be intimate with a tiny Asian woman on the floor, but it proves difficult when my mom gathers the 1800 Oakland Athletics just a couple yards away.
Start With Oil Problems, End With Oil Fun (February 19, 2021)
First, I return to work at Taco Bell but cannot fry chips properly and am scolded. So I then return to work at FedEx but allow a stack of packages to tip over and get scolded for that. So I wander around and wind up on the set of Las Vegas, where an actor (out-of-character) fears an assassination and keeps jumping behind cars like a moron. Things end with me setting up to oil-massage a small Filipino woman at the 1250.
You Guys Mind Payment In Quarters? (February 17, 2021)
I decide to reboot the ABC serial One Life To Live all on my own, not letting the fact that I have no cash, no staff and not even the slightest idea what I'm doing get in the way. I sign several actors to contracts (though Kamar De Los Reyes turns me down) and soon, it's time to begin shooting. Still broke, I quickly team with my mama and open a laundromat in Oakland, California, to fund the show.
That's Just Nasty (February 16, 2021)
Working undercover for...someone, I get Ray Romano out of a jam, so my handlers then use me to infiltrate a group led by Biggie Smalls (who's played by Tracy Morgan in this vision). Once inside, I screw up the lyrics to the Folgers commercial jingle, singing "Roasted Nut" instead of "Waking Up". Biggie/Morgan laughs heartily and I'm allowed to stay in the group. Success...I think?
Never Got To Take My Shot (February 15, 2021)
I'm playing basketball with, and as, old-time NBA stars Dave Twardzik, John Havlicek and Bill Russell...that is, until I'm distracted by a very leggy executive (who, I'm told, was so paranoid about a potential affair between her husband and a staffer that she fired the staffer and got a divorce). All of a sudden, before I can make my move on the executive, the scene skips to the 1250 yard where Josie and I are confronted by a giant bug.
I'm still pissed about "missing my chance".
Someone's Soda Is VERY Flat By Now (February 14, 2021)
Happy Valentine's Day! Things open with the TV series NCIS: Los Angeles ending, and part of the final episode takes place in a market parking lot near my IRL home. Callen and Hanna are about to be taken out, but luckily, local IRL radio host Dan Dibley is on the case. After briefly becoming lost in the market, Dibley—who no one would ever consider agent material—thwarts the attack and saves the agents, who don't even thank him.
Then I find myself at some event with NFL players; one of them, who is literally square-headed, proudly introduces me to his son—a blue bottle cap. More out of fear than anything, I politely ask to play with the "kid" and do so for several minutes.
Use A Cart, Phil! (February 10, 2021)
After scenes with actress Bree Williamson in a warehouse with a couple of green cat-turtles, we shift to The Fresh Prince Of Bel-Air. Geoffrey meets a janitor who, for whatever reason, only speaks in rhyme. On the spot, Geoffrey decides his days as a butler are over and retires from serving the Banks family. Will and Phil support him and buy him a massive TV as a going-away gift (with Phil refusing anyone's help lifting it and comically struggling).
I then decide to honor Geoffrey, and all black men, with "Brother's Day"; a few friends and I begin work setting it up in the middle of San Francisco streets. I am excited at what will surely bring me notoriety!
Lastly, Warriors big man Kevon Looney chugs coffee from a pot under the basket in between plays.
Was Dennis Hopper On The Bus? (February 8, 2021)
Tonight was a night of absolutely no structure, just a bunch of stuff that happened. Including:
Barry Bonds buying Taco Bell as Giants announcers ignore his presence,
Me deliberately peeing in my mom's bed,
Me catching a fly ball, "returning" it like a football, then collapsing in a rather un-masculine way,
Me unintentionally freaking out the child of a soap star in public, and
The bomb squad being called in when my bus-driving aunt can't negotiate a turn.
Where Did They FIND This Girl? (February 6, 2021)
Things begin with a Simpsons episode; the family has taken in a Paris Hilton-esque freeloader who is so inept at life, she can't even purchase popcorn at a grocery store—she has no idea how (and isn't really ashamed of that). Marge runs out of patience and hits the shameless guest with an ultimatum. Soon, a clergyman (not Reverend Lovejoy) arrives to counsel "Paris", who complains the Simpsons "don't do anything to turn me on". The clergyman responds by committing suicide.
When the episode ends, a group photo of the entire cast of Married...With Children is shown, for no reason.
Next, "Monica Lewinsky" accompanies me on a delivery to some major building (on Kevin Street) in Washington, D.C. Inside the building, we're stopped by Arnold Schwarznegger, who forces us to watch him "magically" make the package disappear. When I reveal I voted for him, he eases up and allows us to continue. But only a foot massage to a hairy-legged woman gets me the package back.
"Monica" and I continue to climb floors until we finally reach the package recipient, a disabled man who's over the moon at our effort. As we begin the voyage back to the street, it's clear a very important meeting featuring very important people is about to begin inside the building. Some of the heavy hitters we encounter make it clear they want the charming "Monica" to stay, but I won't allow it ("I'm training her, and I've got more deliveries!").
...If It Wasn't For That Stupid Skillz! (February 4, 2021)
The Scooby-Doo gang and I pursue a villain inside of a house-sized dragon. Said villain hides behind a wall only she can breach, so we somehow enter through the rear of the dragon (hopefully not its butt, but not clear) and capture the villain that way.
Also, I stalk my friend Jenn, not letting a flat left rear tire stop me from sidling up next to her at a red light and being generally creepy without even trying.
Shaq, Fonzi Died! (February 3, 2021)
After learning of Henry Winkler's INV death, I head to the 1250 to commiserate with Shaq. Instead, Shaq just shows me a video of the INV time he fell off the backboard and hit his head, then was flagrantly fouled by (ex-NBA star) Andrew Bogut and hit his head again moments later. "Do that again and I'll KILL YOU!" a fuming present-day Shaq warns Bogut through the screen. (?)
I try to lighten the mood by informing Shaq of my huge IRL fandom during my youth, and even owning his shoes, but he doesn't really care and I end up looking dumb.
Next, at my apartment complex, there's an emergency at a building across the way. I sneak close to the scene...and closer...and closer...standing just a few feet away as someone in authority prepares to kick me out. I book it before he can and butt-slide down the concrete stairs back home. (The emergency? Half of the building collapsed, that's all.)
I Don't WANT To Know You Now (February 2, 2021)
At a home for juveniles, one guy wonders how another guy gets so much nooky. All is calm at first, but then the second guy's schizophrenia kicks in ("YOU DON'T KNOW ME!! YOU DON'T KNOW ME!!") and he slams the head of a third guy against the wall thrice. He then tries to attack Captain Cragen from Law & Order: SVU who's on scene for some reason, but is subdued.
The vision ends with me in jail trading orange juice for macaroni with old IRL co-worker Boris. (Wait...we're both locked up?)

Edwardian Jewellery
1901 - 1914
The term adopted to embrace the lighter more intricate designs of this period in France was La Belle Époque - the beautiful era. Gone were the heavy designs of Victorian jewellery, and instead more elegant pieces were created, inspired by French rococo decoration from the end of the 18th century.
The ability to shift to these more detailed designs lay in the invention of a super hot oxy-acetylene torch in the early 1900s. Platinum, an exceptionally strong white metal, could now be melted and worked more quickly and efficiently. This meant that silver was out, and diamonds could now be set in unobtrusive claws or griped in beaded lines and clusters known as millegrain. Thus beautiful lattice motifs, bows, swags and hearts were combined with naturalistic symbols such as sprays of leaves, flower-heads and trails of tendrils.
Diamonds were essential to Edwardian jewellery, but diamond jewellery was now made to look as fine and delicate as possible, to match the profusion of silk and feathers of the Edwardian lady. The Edwardian lady was not without her boldness though, and striking colour contrasts with bold outlines began to appear during this period.
This shift in jewellery, as always, followed a shift in the social changes of the time. Queen Victoria's reign had been sobering, but now, with Edward VII's coronation, court was one of extravagance and sophistication. High society sought luxury and enjoyment, and in fact, the beginnings of the Edwardian jewellery style were apparent at the end of Victoria's reign, when the Princess of Wales (Alexandra, Edward's wife - pictured) had become a leader of fashion. She wore pearl dog collars, diamond star and crescent brooches and coloured gem-set pendants.
Several specific forms of jewels emerged at this time, and one of these was the negligee pendant necklace. This necklace features two drops of equal lengths hanging from another singe stone. The 'sautoir' or long necklace, usually of pearls, was another frequently worn Edwardian necklace.
Apart from this grand and expensive jewellery, many more every day jewels were available and remained popular: gold bar brooches, gold bangles set with pearls or coloured stones, gypsy rings with stones set into the band and snake rings.
Edwardian prosperity was brought to an abrupt end by outbreak of the First World War. And it is here, at the end of the fighting, that we move into Art Deco jewellery.

"The Eagle Has Landed" is a pretty preposterous movie based on a ridiculous premise, but a terrific cast almost pulls it out of the garbage heap. Director John Sturges -- veteran of several terrific pictures including "The Great Escape" and "The Magnificent Seven" -- has a keen eye for composition and knows how to stage action scenes very well.
But this was also his last film, ending his career on something of a sour note (though commercially the movie was quite successful).
I'm not sure what Sturges really could have done with the material, based on a novel by Jack Higgins. The setup is that the Germans come up with a cockamamie plot to kidnap Winston Churchill. In late 1943, the war is considered already lost by most high up in the Third Reich, but they figure capturing the bull of England can at least delay the inevitable for awhile, and increase the morale of the Axis.
Robert Duvall plays Radl, the colonel charged with coming up with a plan to grab Churchill. The idea came from the real-life rescue of Benito Mussolini by German paratroopers from the mountain ski resort where he was being held by the Italians who deposed him.
His commander (Anthony Quayle) gives Radl the assignment out of disgust, calling it a silly joke. Write up a contingency plan so somebody can stick it in the bottom of their desk, is how he puts it. Radl laughs along, but as he pokes into the intelligence he learns that the idea actually has merit. Churchill is scheduled to vacation in the remote (fictional) coastal town of Studley Constable. It would be a simple matter to sneak in a team of soldiers, snatch him up and get out on a disguised ship.
I liked the Radl character quite a lot. A decorated hero, now relegated to unimportant duties by his wounds -- he's missing an eye and, apparently, his left hand is a prosthetic. Duvall gives him a sad, noble quality, the weary soldier who knows he serves a corrupt and loathsome regime but offers his full loyalty nonetheless.
Michael Caine plays Steiner, the disgraced paratrooper colonel selected by Radl to lead the mission. When we first meet Steiner, he and his men are returning from a tough fight on the Soviet front, and encounter German soldiers putting Jews aboard a train.
Inexplicably, Steiner goes into a rage, strikes another officer and helps a woman captive attempt to escape. Instead, she's shot and killed. He and his men are court-martialed and assigned to suicidal duty in the English Chanel, so Radl's offer is their only chance to be regain honor.
Why would a loyal soldier of the Reich object to the well-known plan for the Jews? It's never really made clear, and the Steiner character remains something of a mystery until the end. Caine and Sturges reportedly battled during production, and it resulted in the main character remaining distant and unrelatable.
Donald Pleasence also has a terrific little turn as Heinrich Himmler, who personally authorizes the Eagle mission via a letter signed by Hitler himself, which may or may not be a forgery. It's soon clear that Radl is Himmler's catspaw, to be used and disposed of based on the outcome of the operation.
Donald Sutherland has a corker of a role as Liam Devlin, an IRA insurgent who gets recruited into the mission by the Germans. He's a red-headed charmer and brawler, sent ahead to infiltrate the town as a marsh warden -- a position of dubious meaning to these American ears. He carries a shotgun and patrols the countryside, so I gather he's a constable of some sort.
While spying things out, Devlin falls for local lass Molly (Jenny Agutter), almost 19 and an accomplished equestrian. Their affair is perhaps the most outlandish aspect of the whole over-the-top story. Despite knowing Devlin for a grand total of two days, Molly is somehow willing to betray her countrymen, and even kill one of them, to protect a German spy.
Devlin gets into trouble with a local tough who has a sweet eye on Molly. Upon their first meeting at the local pub, he refused Devlin's offer to buy him a drink. After Devlin pummels the man in a bout of fisticuffs, the old gravedigger throws a bucket of water on the man's face to revive him, and offers the movie's funniest line:
"Well Arthur, looks like he bought you a drink after all!"
The whole cast acquits themselves well, and all of the half-dozen leads are terrific in their roles, even as the script (by Tom Mankiewicz) requires them to do and say some pretty zany stuff.
I should point out that this is a rare World War II movie in which English and American actors play Germans, which makes for some strange audience dynamics as the action plays out. Late in the game we're introduced to an imbecile American reserve colonel played by Larry Hagman, who frets about the war ending without him getting any combat experience.
When he learns about the Churchill plot, he declines to inform his superiors and rushes off with a few men to stop take on the Germans himself. Steiner's seasoned men quickly dispatch the Yanks in a sequence that almost reaches Keystone Kops levels of comedy -- until we remember these are American soldiers fighting and dying (poorly).
The film ends as absurdly as it progressed. Steiner, his entire command decimated, refuses to flee and impersonates an American soldier (Jeff Conaway), continuing the mission to kidnap Churchill, alone. He manages to make it to the mansion where they've hidden him, sneak up and kill him, dying himself moments later when guards arrive.
The young American captain (Treat Williams) marvels at his audacity to single-handedly murder the British leader -- but then we learn that the dead man is the double of the real Churchill, who's actually meeting with FDR and Stalin in Tehran.
In other words, the entire enterprise was a ruse. It's a fitting end for a movie about a made-up plot that was a joke until it became something more.
I loved the cast of "The Eagle Has Landed," but it fails Gene Siskel's test of whether you'd prefer to watch the same people doing almost anything else instead.

Shock training. Train like One Strike Man!
One Punch Guy Anime appeared in 2015. It outlines the superhero Saitama – a definitely ordinary individual with no unique powers. Nonetheless, at the same time, according to the plot, he – one of the most powerful hero in the universe, that can beat anybody with simply one strike. Exactly how did he manage to do this and also can an ordinary individual do well by adhering to Saitama's training strategy?
Just how did Saitama obtain his power?
Saitama made use of to be a white-collar worker. His life was nothing special. Yet considering that youth, he imagined helping individuals – except the sake of thankfulness or splendor, yet out of excellent intents. Eventually, he determined to drastically change his life and also established a daily workout plan: 100 push-ups, 100 abdominal workouts, 100 sit-ups as well as a 10-kilometer run. It is essential to consume strictly 3 times a day. Yet most notably, according to Saitama, – "strengthen the mind."
Exercising One Strike Guy has actually become a prominent fitness challenge on youtube, as well as lots of anime followers imitate lead character Saitama's extensive workout program, who gets over every one of his physical constraints by executing 100 push-ups, 100 squats, 100 air squats, and running on 10 km on a daily basis. While most videos of this difficulty adhere to attempts to stick with the exercise for 30 or even 100 days, Sean Sea has been incorporating One Strike Male right into his daily workouts for over 2 years now.
"I came to be leaner as well as a lot more muscular", — he states in a recent video clip concerning his experience. Along with the noticeable makeover — currently he has actually cluttered six-pack abs — Sean has actually also ended up being substantially more powerful as a result of the training and also urges others to try it out for themselves, albeit with some crucial cautions.
He advises doing a "examination day" to see just how much of your exercise you can do without tiring yourself due to the fact that you still require the power to do it once more the next day. "Start at a degree where you are certain you can do day-to-day tasks," — he says. "I wanted to do something basic so I can reach function today. To be straightforward, initially I attempted a complete workout as well as got so burned out that I had to relax for an entire week prior to I could begin right once more.
Sean made his daily workout much easier by beginning with a 5k run, then developing his endurance and functioning his means approximately the full 10k. And although training each day — it's one thing when you get on a 1 month obstacle, it's fairly another when it belongs to your everyday routine; therefore he very suggests taking sufficient time to permit your muscle mass to rest and recover. The Saitama workout program is a great way to get in shape and improve your overall fitness level, our website: bestbodyworkout.com has more information. It is a full-body workout that will tone your muscles and help you build strength.
What decreases the performance of training?
Many blog writers have kept in mind a number of downsides that significantly reduce the effectiveness of such a workout.
There are no exercises for the muscular tissues of the back, lower arm and shoulder band. The trapezius and latissimus dorsi muscle mass are required to build an evenly experienced body. If you exclude the load on these teams, you can distress the equilibrium and earn a posture problem or even get wounded.
Workouts for journalism. Studying the press in the style of One Punch Male – the least effective alternative. Because of the daily too much and also tedious load, the spine can be damaged. At the same time, the abdominal muscles themselves are minimally entailed, which makes this exercise inadequate.
Competing 10 kilometers. Initially, it is challenging to run all 10 kilometers, so if you have not run cross countries prior to, you must begin with 1-3 kilometers a day, progressively increasing the distance.
Magnificent outcome.
Even if you customize Saitama's training a little, the outcome will certainly be magnificent. A big percentage of fat will certainly disappear, muscular tissue mass will certainly show up, the heart as well as lungs will certainly work better. Nevertheless, one of the most valuable incentive, according to those that were able to finish the training for 100 days, – frame of mind enhancement. All obstacles appear to cease to exist, you no more need to force on your own to do anything. For that reason, albeit in a streamlined type, it is still worth attempting the One-Punch Male challenge to put in order not only the body, yet likewise the mind.

It's the summer going into fifth grade. I'm the youngest in my family and at somewhat of a turning point in my younger years. I'm starting to have crushes and drama with friends. My sister is four years older than me and way too cool for me. She's in high school now and doesn't let me forget it. My brother is the popular skater boy in middle school, but his favorite activity is to get me as riled up as possible. We're all in the car together, and it's an absolute nightmare. My brother thinks it's funny to keep his fingers an inch away from my face and say "I'm not poking you" while my sister is complaining to my mom about how immature her little siblings are.
Growing up, I sometimes thought I hated them. Not actually hate, but I didn't know anyone that could get on my nerves the way they could. At the time I didn't know this was normal and I honestly never thought I would miss it. However, fast forward about 10 years, and I would take them annoying me over all of us being in different places any day. My 10-year-old self had no idea the potential impact they would have on me or how much I would come to miss my childhood with them.
When you're young, teachers love to ask "What do you want to be when you grow up?" which seems like an easy question for an 8-year-old, and it is. Yet no one prepared me for how much tougher that question would become as I grew up... thankfully, I had my siblings for help. I can thank both of them for helping me get to where I am and map out where I want to be.
My brother was the reason I joined a club in high school that lit a passion in me to pursue an education in marketing (or things related).
My sister went out of state and always pushed me to take a risk and do the same.
Here I am, five hours away from home. You definitely couldn't tell me at 10 that most of the important decisions in my life would go through my siblings first for help, or that I would look for their approval in all of my accomplishments.
I am lucky enough to have two extremely bright and driven siblings, but regardless, I think all siblings will come to teach you things about yourself. They've been able to help me through times when I felt like I didn't have anyone, and they've been supportive even when I made the opposite decision of the ones they encouraged. We all live in different states now and don't get to spend much time together, but I cherish the times that we do. When I was little, I wasn't aware of all the things I'd miss. If I had made a list at the time, it would probably say something like "Mom making my lunch every day," not "My built-in best friends and support system."

Swindon Town: Lee Power to join County Ground board
Last updated on .From the section Football
Ex-Norwich striker Lee Power is to join the board at Swindon and will become part-owner of the League One club.
The 40-year-old has previously held backroom roles at Luton, Cambridge and now defunct Rushden and Diamonds.
Swindon were taken over in February by a consortium led by Jed McCrory - a friend of Power.
The footballer-turned-businessman was present at the County Ground for Swindon's 4-1 victory over Crewe on Tuesday evening.
Power started his 10-year playing career with Norwich before spells with Bradford, Peterborough, Dundee, Hibernian and Plymouth.
Following his retirement, he embarked on several career ventures. He set up Cre8 Publishing in 2008 and also worked as a football agent.
He was part of a consortium that took over Luton Town in 2003, but severed ties with the club a month after he arrived.
Power became chairman at Cambridge United in 2006 and made himself caretaker manager for 12 games, before appointing Jimmy Quinn as boss.
He left the U's 18 months later and joined the board at non-League rivals Rushden, who were dissolved in 2011.

Airport Technology Research Home About ATR News Airport Technology Research Plan Contact Us Careers
The FAAPAVEAIR is the optimal solution to the 1997 FAA-NASAO initiative to collect and share GA pavement condition data. It provides the FAA with an efficient and readily available tool to allow a coordinated system for incorporation of pavement condition information for decisions regarding distribution of Federal AIP funds. FAAPAVAEAIR makes it easier for airport sponsors to comply with FAA mandated pavement maintenance management program requirements as outlined in AC5380-6A: Guidelines and Procedures for Maintenance of Airport Pavements. Airport managers and sponsors will be able view and manage their pavement data from any location with internet access. The data may be queried for a variety of purposes, such as assessing local (a few airports) and global (several states) pavement condition. In addition, data may be entered or queried simultaneously by multiple users. Currently FAA PAVEAIR contains pavement data from over 1,700 airports. FAAPAVEAIR has the following functionalities.
FAA PAVEAIR Official Website: https://faapaveair.faa.gov/
The Airport R&D branch has been developing software programs since 1995, the first software program developed was a Microsoft Windows-based program with a layered elastic response model. The program named LEDFAA and was published concurrently with advisory circular AC 150/5320-16, "Airport Pavement Design for the Boeing 777 Airplane." Since then Airport R&D has continued to develop software programs research request, airport pavement industry need, and R&D research need. Software integration project is to upgrade these software programs to meet the software industry standards, to meet the latest FAA software cyber security standards, to better support FAA advisory circulars. Software integration will allow the software programs to share data and library, and able to communicate each other. Below is a brief summary of the programs.

Summer is a great time to get together with friends and family and enjoy BBQ meals. And while cooking and eating outside can reduce the number of dishes you'll have to wash, there is still some cleaning involved. Yep, those barbeques, grills, and smokers all need to be cleaned regularly.
Don't make the mistake of thinking that just because the food was cooked at a high temperature, you don't need to clean the grill afterward. Yes, the high heat does kill off any bacteria, but old fats and oils that are left on the cooking surface can still make you ill.
So here are our tips for cleaning your barbeques, grills, and smokers.
The Outside of the BBQ
Depending on how often you use it will determine how regularly the outside needs to be cleaned. If you leave your barbeque outside all summer, you should probably clean the outside at least once every couple of weeks. Do this by wiping it down with a cloth and some hot soapy water.
For the Grill
The grill should be cleaned before and after each use. Turn on the heat for a few minutes in order to burn off any food debris and then scrub the grates with a spatula. You can do the same thing when you are finished cooking. Every once in a while, it is also a good idea to clean the grates with hot soapy water and leave them to air dry.
For Hot Plates
It can be easy to get baked-on food stuck to the hot plates of your barbeque. Using a balled-up newspaper is a good option for scrubbing the hot plates as it will not damage them. Clean hot plates while they are hot before and after each use.
For the Drip Tray
The most challenging feature on your barbeque to clean is the drip tray, but it is important to clean it at least after every four to five uses – otherwise grease can build up and pose a fire hazard. To make the job easier, cover the drip tray with aluminum foil and fill the pan with sand to absorb the grease. When it comes time to clean the tray, remove the foil and sand and throw them away. Clean the tray with hot and soapy water and leave to air dry before replacing the foil and the sand.
Bonus Tip: Reconsider that wire grill brush!
Wire grill brushes have received a lot of press recently because the wires can sometimes break off and get stuck to the food. If ingested, these wires can puncture the inside of the digestive tract and result in a trip to the emergency room for the unfortunate victim.
As a result, you may want to use alternative cleaning utensils such as wood or stone scrubbers. If you still wish to use a wire brush, experts recommend that you replace it every season as wires are more likely to break off of older brushes.
For more information on how to care for your barbeque, grill, or smoker contact Hamilton Home Comfort today.

The problem with re-imagination comes when the material's so popular that any changes - or, for that matter, the reason for telling the story again - have to seem justified.
In the case of "Tin Man," a six-hour miniseries debuting Sunday night at 9 on Sci Fi, the source material is one of the most beloved stories ever: L. Frank Baum's "The Wizard of Oz." The press notes insist that "Viewers familiar with Baum's storyline will delight in the dozens of clever ways in which this new interpretation echoes the old," but for the most part, the changes all seem puzzling and arbitrary.
Here, Dorothy Gale is simply D.G. (Zooey Deschanel), a motorcycle-riding Kansas waitress dreaming of a more exciting life. When a bunch of gun-toting soldiers in top coats invade the family farm in the middle of a twister, D.G.'s parents toss her into the tornado's path, and she wakes up in a strange and exotic land called The Outer Zone, The O.Z. for short. (I will at this point invite you to pause and make whatever "O.C." joke you wish. Right now, I'm picturing Mischa Barton getting eaten by a tree.)
D.G. begins her journey in what passes for Munchkin Land, where the Lollipop Guild is now a bunch of aboriginal warriors with spears (though their costumes make them look like Thanksgiving turkeys). The Scarecrow, now called Glitch (Alan Cumming), is a man who literally had his brain removed as punishment for defying the land's evil witch of a ruler, Azkadellia (Kathleen Robertson). The titular Tin Man is now a cop named Wyatt Cain (Neal McDonough), the Cowardly Lion a telepathic beast with confidence issues named Raw (Raoul Trujillo), and the Wizard a drugged-up nightclub magician called the Mystic Man (Richard Dreyfuss).
Even Toto - Toto! - couldn't be left alone. He looks like a terrier sometimes, but at others is a shape-changing middle-aged man called Tutor (Blu Mankuma).
It's not that "The Wizard of Oz" is some sacred text that should never be messed with. (The 1939 movie takes several liberties with the book, not least that Judy Garland is much older than the Dorothy that Baum wrote.) Any work of fiction is fair game for an updating if the idea is clever enough, whether it's "Clueless" putting Jane Austen's "Emma" in a Beverly Hills high school or the excellent BBC miniseries "Shakespeare Re-Told," which offered things like "Much Ado About Nothing" set in a local TV station.
The problem with Craig W. Van Sickle's "Tin Man" script is that there doesn't seem to have been a mandate beyond "darker and hipper." There's no real thematic unity to the changes, and while some characters are still fundamentally the same (Glitch, Raw), others bear almost no resemblance to the originals (Cain, Tutor).
The world of The O.Z. (and I cringe every time I read, hear or type that phrase) is also a much drabber place than the Oz of 68 years ago. Much of that comes from the miniseries' plot - Azkadellia's rule has sucked much of the magic from the place - but it doesn't make it very interesting to look at. I know the Technicolor appearance of the Garland film is dated, but it still looks fun, you know? And fun is in extremely short supply in "Tin Man."
The only adventurous touch of the entire production, visually or otherwise, comes when we see that monkeys literally fly out of Azkadellia's... well, not her rear end, but an equally prominent bit of anatomy. Some of the performances are good, particularly by Deschanel (who gets to sing near the end, good news for anyone who saw "Elf"), McDonough and Cumming, but solid acting and monkeys flying out of, um, someplace aren't enough to justify spending six hours over three nights on a labored attempt to make a classic children's story seem grown-up and cool.
Running with Rickles
"Being funny is like being a pretty girl. You get away with a lot of (stuff)," says Chris Rock, by way of explaining the enduring popularity - among audiences but especially among other comedians - of Don Rickles, the subject of the charming new HBO documentary "Mr. Warmth: The Don Rickles Project" (Sunday at 8 p.m.).
Rock seems in awe of Rickles, the legendarily incorrect comic who never met a person he couldn't insult, regardless of - or usually thanks to - their race, gender, size, disability, etc. And Rock isn't the only one. "Mr. Warmth," directed by John Landis, assembles a Hollywood who's-who to bow down before the short, bald, dyspeptic comic.
There are other comedians, like Bob Newhart (one of Rickles' oldest friends), Robin Williams, Whoopi Goldberg, Billy Crystal and Sarah Silverman, and also former co-stars and directors like Clint Eastwood, Robert DeNiro and Martin Scorsese, all of them struggling to stop from laughing as they recount some run-in with Rickles.
All have their own theories of why Rickles is still able to get away with his act (well, almost all; Christopher Guest suggests "it's a very dangerous thing to talk about why things are funny"), but all more or less fall in with Rock's argument. Because Rickles attacks everyone, and because he's so funny doing it, he gets a pass.
There's also, as several celebs point out, a respect Rickles gets as the one of the few survivors of the old Frank Sinatra-era Las Vegas.
"He's the last guy standing," says Harry Shearer, comparing Rickles' act to all the multi-million dollar entertainment extravaganzas available on the Strip. "There's one guy prowling the stage, filling the stage, filling the room. You just realize the power of that one driven, crazy, insane, funny guy is bigger than all the rest of that stuff."

text: fending off questions about baby plans, my office-mate throws temper tantrums, and more by Alison Green on July 5, 2019 It's four answers to four questions. Here we go… 1. My office keeps asking about my baby plans I am a recently married woman who even more recently learned I may not be able to have children. Some seemingly unrelated health stuff led to this discovery and we're pretty much trying something for now and revisiting if I'll need surgery (bye ovaries) in a few months to a year or so. My manager is aware I have an ongoing but not serious health issue I'm addressing, but not what it is (or that I might need surgery later this year). The option of surgery just came up a little over a week ago, so I'm hoping I'll adjust to the idea but for now I'm honestly struggling to just be a functional and productive person while this stressed out dialogue runs in the back of my head constantly. I am glad I told my manager a little, but I'm still struggling to decide if I should tell them more. I still get the well-meaning-but-unthoughtful-as-hell "congrats you're married! Babies?" comments which I kind of awkwardly reply "definitely not anytime soon," and then have to spend awhile composing myself again after they go away. And then on top of that, my manager is expecting their first child in the fall … which often triggers the "YOU'RE NEXT! BABIES!" comments, often from my manager. I don't want to ruin my manager's excitement, and I really don't want to tell the whole office about my issues, but I don't know how else to keep baby talk to a minimum around me. I would love tips on what to say to commenters … if I should tell my manager the details … general coping suggestions for me … anything! Thanks. Oh, I"m sorry! It's incredibly rude for people to ask about your reproductive plans, and yet people do it anyway. Your boss's "you're next" comments are particularly obnoxious. The people who make these comments seem to see them as a bonding/camaraderie thing, without considering how very alienating it can be to people who are in fact not next. I'd try saying this to your manager the next time that happens: "I'd rather not discuss it, but I'm dealing with some tough stuff right now around this topic, and I'd be grateful if you didn't make those comments." You could add, "I'm thrilled for your news, though." As for other people's inquiries about baby plans, whatever you're comfortable is fine! For some people, that's a dry "no plans at the moment." For others, it's "wow, that's personal." For others, it's "that can be a really loaded question to ask someone" or "weirdly, no one asks my husband that" or really, anything you're comfortable with. (I bet people will have other suggestions in the comments, but so much of it depends on what tone you want to strike. Some people want a natural response that makes the conversation end as soon as possible, and others want to make a point. Whatever approach you want is fine!) And someone needs to fund a nationwide PSA campaign to get people to stop asking this question. 2. I share space with a coworker who throws temper tantrums I share an office with a colleague. We work at a flat organization, but she does have 20 years of experience on me. She's very kind and sweet, but will talk and hum to herself constantly throughout the day. It's very difficult to get work done with her soundtrack in the background. This is minor, though, compared to full on temper tantrums she'll throw in the office. When she's frustrated, she will shout profanities, pound on her desk, crumple her papers, and jostle/throw her belongings loudly. It might sound silly, but when it happens suddenly it's very jarring and can make for a very awkward situation. It's also happened several times while I've been on the phone with clients who are shocked to hear someone shouting profanities in the background. I often try to find a conference room while I'm on external calls, but we work at a large organization and conference room space is scarce. I'm not sure how to discuss this with her or if I should bring it up at all. Is there a solution beyond buying earplugs and waiting it out? You should say something to her! It's one thing for someone to talk and hum to themselves (although that's annoying and distracting enough to address on its own), but the sort of tantrums you're describing are really not okay in any scenario. The next time it happens, you can say, "Jane, can I ask you to keep it down? I'm sorry you're frustrated, but it's really distracting and frankly unnerving to have that kind of anger right next to me. Sometimes it's happened when I've been on the phone with a client, and people have asked me what's going on." I suspect you feel extra awkward about saying something because she's older than you — but what she's doing is really over the line. You get to speak up about it. Read an update to this letter here. 3. I have the same last name as my husband's prominent ex-wife I took my husband's name when we married. He has two kids from a previous marriage, and both the kids and his ex-wife have this last name. His ex-wife has been with the same female partner for many years. The ex-wife and my husband are civil but not friendly. I recently took a job that puts me in the work orbit of his ex-wife. She is quite prominent. My husband not as much. But I will be working with many people who have heard of her or worked with her. In my first two weeks I've already been asked if I'm related to her or connected to her. I was asked this a few times before but I anticipate it will be a regular question due to my new job. What's the best way to answer this question? I don't know how open the ex is about her former marriage to a man, at least among people who have known her post-divorce. She is out now as gay. So I hesitate to say "I'm married to her ex-husband." Do I say "no" and leave it at that, even though it's not a common surname? I work in a client management context so I want to avoid too much awkwardness but also not lie. I'd actually ask your husband if he thinks his ex would object to you just being straightforward and saying, "Yes, I'm married to her ex-husband." He may know for sure that she'd be fine with that, and that would solve it. Or, if they're on civil terms, he could ask her directly. But if that doesn't solve it, then some other options are to reply to people who ask if you're related with "No, not directly" — which is more or less true, in that you two don't have any legal or blood relationship. 4. Who do I use for references when I'm my first post-college job? I'm in my first full-time job after college and grad school. I didn't really need any references to get this job (I listed a couple of supervisors from college jobs and professors, but I don't think any of them were called since I got the offer the same day). I've started to wonder how it will work when I eventually move on, and need references. This is the only full-time job I've had, and the only one in which I've used these particular skills, especially the software I've learned. If I were ever job hunting, would I need my current boss to know about it and be my reference? I know companies understand that candidates don't want their current employers contacted, but that would leave me with no references! I think I got by without any in applying to this job because I was right out of school, but I don't think that would apply once I was in my late 20s and in the workforce for several years. It might be a silly question, but what do people in their first jobs do for references when they job hunt? It's not a silly question! Reasonable employers will understand that you generally can't give your current manager as a reference, lest you jeopardize your current job. You'd explain this is your first post-college job and you don't want your manager to know you're looking, but that you can offer managers from college jobs and — if you can — other people who have worked with you since then. In that second group, the ideal person would be someone who was senior to you and worked fairly closely with you on at least some projects and/or was in a position to evaluate same of your work but wasn't your manager. Peers aren't going to be helpful to offer, especially when you're still pretty junior, so hopefully you can think of someone who's at least close to what I described. But really, reasonable employers will get this. And because you can offer managers from college jobs, you're not without references. They might not be ideal references (in terms of their ability to comment on the type of work you're doing now), but this is a common situation for people to be in early in their career, and hiring managers are used to it.

Micro/nano positioning technologies have been attractive for decades for their various applications in both industrial and scientific fields. The actuators employed in these technologies are typically smart material actuators, which possess inherent hysteresis that may cause systems behave unexpectedly. Periodic reference tracking capability is fundamental for apparatuses such as scanning probe microscope, which employs smart material actuators to generate periodic scanning motion. However, traditional controller such as PID method cannot guarantee accurate fast periodic scanning motion. To tackle this problem and to conduct practical implementation in digital devices, this paper proposes a novel control method named discrete extended unparallel Prandtl-Ishlinskii model based internal model (d-EUPI-IM) control approach. To tackle modeling uncertainties, the robust d-EUPI-IM control approach is investigated, and the associated sufficient stabilizing conditions are derived. The advantages of the proposed controller are: it is designed and represented in discrete form, thus practical for digital devices implementation; the extended unparallel Prandtl-Ishlinskii model can precisely represent forward/inverse complex hysteretic characteristics, thus can reduce modeling uncertainties and benefits controllers design; in addition, the internal model principle based control module can be utilized as a natural oscillator for tackling periodic references tracking problem. The proposed controller was verified through comparative experiments on a piezoelectric actuator platform, and convincing results have been achieved.

I misunderstood Jordan when I first watched the clip. Maybe Fauci did too, or maybe he's just playing dumb. "I'm not sure what you mean," he says when Jordan asks him about "limiting" protesting. I thought that, by "limit," Jordan meant using state power to somehow prevent the marches.
How could we feasibly do that? We could have cops at the demonstration handing out tickets to every participant they see for congregating in a group larger than 10 people (or whatever the local regulation is) but that's not going to deter many, and deterrence in the name of containing the spread of the virus is what we're after. The revenue from the fines is nice, but all we really care about is getting people not to congregate in the first place.
But by "limiting" protests, I think what he means is simply: Should protesters voluntarily limit their own protest activity so as to limit the spread of the virus? I.e. would Fauci like to take the opportunity here and now to formally discourage protesting?
Which he sort of ends up doing, but not nearly as clearly as he should. Fauci's verrrrry reluctant to say an unkind word about protests specifically.
He does admit that mass gatherings spread the virus no matter how "woke" their purpose. "You should stay away from crowds no matter where the crowds are," he says at one point. And he's said that before. On June 5, the day before the demonstrations that Jordan references, Fauci told a radio host that mass protests are a "perfect set-up" for viral spread. Jordan's right to feel disgust at the many woke experts who carved out an exception to social-distancing rules for demonstrators on the dubious theory that protesting racism is a more urgent matter of public health than containing a once-in-a-century killer virus. But Fauci isn't one of them.
He should have used this as a chance to get Fauci to acknowledge that it was irresponsible for members of Fauci's profession to give them a pass on doing so when every other American was sternly warned to play by the rules. We can't feasibly "limit" street protests but our expert and political classes sure as sh*t could have discouraged them a lot more emphatically than they did. The double standard they set was so legally dubious as policy that politicians who implemented it have lost lawsuits over it. But Jordan never actually pits Fauci against the woke MDs. He's too caught up in playing to the populist passion of the moment, which is to treat Fauci as an enemy. He ends up browbeating him on how policy should be set and enforced when all Fauci's really qualified to tell him is, "Yeah, crowds are a bad idea. They spread the virus."
Can't fault Jordan too much for that, though. This is why we have congressional hearings in 2020, to give members a chance to theatrically fawn over or attack each witness depending on whether the witness is a hero or villain to that member's party in whatever political debate is currently raging. The debate raging right now is "Who's to blame for the state of the pandemic, Trump or the experts?" Jordan played his part.
Rep. @Jim_Jordan asks if protests should be limited.
Dr. Anthony Fauci: "I'm not going to opine on limiting anything. I'm telling you what it is the danger is. You can make your own conclusion about that. You should stay away from crowds no matter where the crowds are." pic.twitter.com/DfgmahK35F

These bites are inspired by Lara Bars and has nothing but nuts and dried fruits. I am using dried apricots, dates, and mixed nuts but feel free to experiment with your favorite dried fruits and nuts.
I am really bad when it comes to snacking..you will find me mindlessly eating nuts straight from the jar, bag of chips (my favorite are Cheetos) or whatever is in front of me. I hope having these energy bites around will save me from doing so and give me the fuel I need before a workout as well.
Raw Energy Bites
makes about 12 bites
1/4 cup dried apricots
1/4 cup dates
1 cup mix nuts ( I used roasted/salted variety)
1/2 tsp almond extract (or vanilla but its optional)
2 tsp unsweetened cacao powder (optional)
– Soak dried apricot and dates in water until they are soft (I left mine overnight).
– In a food processor, grind nuts until they have a mealy texture and place them in a bowl.
– Squeeze water from dried fruits and place them in a food processer and grind them until they are slightly mushed.
– Combine them with nuts using a spatula. Add almond extract and unsweetened cacao to the mix if desired.
– Leave it in the refrigerator for 10 minutes, covered if the mixture feels liquidy, otherwise form them into balls. I used individual mini muffin liners to prevent them from sticking.
-Store them in an airtight container. {note: I found that they taste even better when frozen}
..ok back to the green bean fries , don't forget to send me the recipe.

In the center of your Helix Bed mattress are numerous small, microcoils that offer pressure relief. They supply a sensation that is dramatically missing in many memory foam bed mattress -the bounce and springback that is discovered in conventional bed mattress. Sure, they're springs, however the Helix is still excellent for movement transfer – your partner can toss and turn all night without troubling you. The coils are 6 inches and supply the majority of the edge support for the bed mattress. Edge support indicates you can sit down on the edge of your bed and put your shoes on without falling forward.
The layer of your mattress sits a layer of Helix Bed mattress' dynamic foam and/or an unique memory foam plus blend, depending on the firmness you choose is finest for you or are matched to through the quiz. The dynamic foam is a secret mix of ingredients. While the memory plus foam is a blend of different kinds of memory foam to develop a special firmness and feel. The dynamic foam doesn't sleep as hot as memory foam, and you can make it clear in your survey that you sleep hot and get more heat-reducing material to keep things cool at night. It's this part of the bed mattress that offers you that nestling effect, and it provides the most pressure-relieving convenience.
