Surgical booms are ceiling-mounted equipment management systems. They help surgeons by keeping cables, wires, and equipment off the floor and out of their way. Recent technological advancement in the design and application of surgical booms, such as, movable arms that allow flexible positioning of displays and other equipment, modularity to accommodate changing needs, and a great degree of versatility have increased their popularity and demand. Surgical booms are increasingly becoming popular due to rise in demand for minimally invasive surgical procedures and advent of hybrid and integrated operating rooms. Surgical booms provide solutions for fitting new equipment in the operating room and also help in removing those that are not in use.
The global surgical booms market is likely to experience strong growth during the forecast period despite the slow acceptance of these products in developing countries. Developed economies (the U.S. and countries in Western Europe) are increasingly adopting surgical booms due to the emergence of integrated and hybrid operating rooms. Technological progress has aided the development of high tech booms that have centralized control and help physicians control lights and other equipment from a single location. Such advantages are anticipated to drive the demand for surgical booms in high-tech hospitals and clinics, not only in the developed nations, but also in the emerging countries in the near future.
The global surgical booms market can be segmented based on area of operation and region. Based on area of operation, the market can be divided into operating room, C-section suite, cath lab, intensive care unit, and emergency department. In terms of region, the surgical booms market can be classified into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America, and Middle East & Africa.
In terms of region, North America accounts for leading share of the global surgical booms market. Technological advancements, developed health care infrastructure, high disposable income, and presence of major market players are projected to contribute to the growth of the surgical booms market in the region during the forecast period. Europe is projected to be the second leading market for surgical booms in terms of revenue. Factors such as continued technological advancement in operating room equipment leading to development of integrated operating room suites, large geriatric population, and rising number of surgical procedures due to high prevalence of diseases such as obesity, diabetes, and hypertension are likely to boost the growth of the surgical booms market in the region in the near future. Moreover, rising demand for minimally invasive surgical techniques has also contributed to the growth of the market in the region. The surgical booms market in Asia Pacific is expected to grow significantly due to increasing penetration of market players operating in the medical devices industry in emerging countries, such as, China and India. Moreover, significant investment in health care by government agencies in developing countries and rising geriatric population in China, India, and South Korea are fueling the market growth. In India, multispecialty hospitals such as Apollo Hospitals, Wockhardt Hospitals, and Fortis Healthcare drive the demand for operating room equipment. The rapidly evolving medical tourism industry in countries such as India, Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, and South Korea is encouraging major health care providers to equip themselves with latest technologies. Middle East & Africa and Latin America are expected to be lucrative markets for surgical booms in the near future due to the high rate of adoption of advanced medical devices, coupled with the rapidly developing health care industry in these regions.
Major players operating in the global surgical booms market include Trumpf Medical, Stryker Communications, STERIS plc. SKYTRON, Amico Corporation, Ondal, Pratibha Medinox, Palakkad Surgical Industries Pvt. Ltd., and Getinge AB.

Strategic appraisal is very important for a company as it enables the identification of the current strategic position, hence providing an opportunity for improvements. This paper features a strategic analysis of a company. It will consider the internal and external analysis of the business environment. These are important as it helps to identify the strengths, weaknesses and even various opportunities for the company. The company's corporate and business strategy is also analyzed to determine what efforts the company is already taking, and whether or not it is effective. After this, the issues and challenges facing the company are also considered to assess the level of risk it is exposed to and what has been done to keep these at bay. This gives room for the identification of strategic options for growth which can be employed to help the company improve. After this, the best option is recommended before a conclusion is drawn on all the analysis.
This paper will feature a strategic appraisal of the Emirates Company. The Emirates is an airline company which offers flight services to consumers both locally and internationally. Back in 1984, his highness Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum and Mr. Flanagan made the decision to launch an airline that was worth 10 billion dollars (Melly 2013, p. 18). By leasing the first jets from Pakistan, Emirates airline was launched. In 2005, a largest order ever placed was requested in the form of 42 Boeing-777. From here on, Emirates airlines experienced significant growth which saw it souring to greater heights. A factor that has encouraged this growth is that Emirates airline is treated as a separate business entity, despite it being a government owned entity. This has enabled it to be unique and to engage in competition in the fiercest ways.
It has expanded to obtaining over 140 destinations across the world. This is an advantage as consumers can depend on it for direct flights. It has also expanded its operations to include a cargo division, leisure division, and even an airline IT developer. Feedback from satisfied consumers has also played a role in encouraging its continued fame. Although this company offers many types of services, it tends to target its consumers based on their purchasing power. There are those who are willing to pay for the corporate level and those who are willing to pay for the middle class. These two, therefore, are the market segments. It is the reason why there are three categories of international flights; the first class which has very high prices, the business class which has slightly reduced prices, and the economy class which is affordable to many.
The vision statement of Emirates Airline is to always have competitive advantage in relation to aviation innovation, to be an active contributor to environment protection, and to achieve a global network of coverage as a result of offering safe flights, being responsible and reliable, and offering quality services while still ensuring that it offers travel services without borders to ensure changing the lives of its consumers for the better. The mission that this company will use to achieve its set goals is to grow and become the most envied flight service provider, to always deliver high quality services, improve the comfort of its passengers for pleasure, to avoid any accidents, to invest in new technologies constantly, to invest in competitive employees, and to become eco-efficient (Salisbury 2012, p. 30). This company has major key values; it seeks to achieve customer satisfaction, to be the industry's leader, to encourage emotional attachments with customer, to be a reliable flight service provider, to gain community engagement, responsibility and even professionalism and team work. The generic strategy it follows to achieve growth constantly is differentiation. This is noted from the fact that it has chosen to offer different products and services to its customers. It has varying airline products with unique prices to suit the different needs of its target customers. The key stakeholders are the governments and the investors.
To have a better understanding of the macro environment of Emirates Airline, the PESTEL model will be employed.
The industry in which this company functions in is quite sensitive. Since the airline has international flights, it is exposed to the changing political situations in countries, as well as political developments. Any political changes can easily interfere with its operations in that given country. It is affected by the growing security concerns, and the demand for services could reduce due to the rise of terror attacks in various regions (Baker 2017, p. 22). For instance, Trump administration ban on travel to certain Muslim countries is also expected to reduce the load factors of Middle East Airlines to the US.
As it is an international company, the revenue is collected in various currencies. Therefore, it is at risk of being affected by any sudden change in exchange rate and even the conditions of the international macroeconomics. For instance if it operates in a company that ends up experiencing depreciation, then it will also experience losses as the value of cash collected from the sale of flight tickets will also be reduced (Flottau 2013, p. 76).
Rapid increase in the total human population has impacted demand positively. The millennial have an insatiable urge to travel. The middle class, on the other hand, are experiencing a disposable income which means that they can easily spend on flights ('Dubai Aviation' 2013, p. 22).
The use of digital technology has greatly affected the extent of what Emirates airlines can do. Digital technology improves performance, increases efficiency of operations and enables accurate forecasting of customer expectations ('Emirates goes digital for its crew' 2011, p. 10).
The airline industry in general is seen to contribute to the carbon emission by 12%. This is due to the airline fuels which are then burnt during operations. It is, therefore, at risk of facing challenges from environmental activists who may view it as a threat to the environment. Also, harsh weather conditions are expected to impact its operations. This is because it becomes impossible to fly when the weather is unstable.
The Gulf careers have experienced significant growth which has triggered the European and American competing airlines to consider different ways of limiting these careers from accessing their home markets ('Dubai Aviation' 2013, p. 22). This is often through protectionist policies. Also, through the many agreements meant to liberalize the airline market, the travel routes for this company have grown significantly ('To woo shoppers" 2014, p. 17).
In relation to the industry analysis, the porter's five forces of competition model will be employed.
Emirates airline enjoys the benefit of less competition as the industry has barriers of entries in the form of patents and rights. Emirates airline has already acquired a major market share, making it quite challenging for others to successful enter this industry. Also, the fact that it is a national career gives it more advantages. Emirates has already established itself, mostly from its heavy marketing activities ('Goat Or Gloat' 2004, p. 34). Being the first company in the industry, it becomes quite difficult for the other companies to overtake it. Since the company has a very high supplier base, it is not costly at all for it to switch from one to the other. All suppliers will willingly offer it with preferable costs as they know that they have high competition ('Setback for superjumbo' 2006, p. 6).
Another benefit that this company has is that it has never had an issue with obtaining capital. This is because it is government owned and also a part of the emirates group. The airline is also highly accessible, thanks to the fact that it has its own terminal and a direct metro and bus that shifts customers to and from the airline base (Wafik, Abou-Shouk & Hewedi 2017, p. 6). Customers tend to showcase loyalty to companies that they have already become accustomed to. With the use of programs like skywards and frequent flyer miles, this company has managed to gain the trust of many ('Emirates One&OnlyWolgan Valley' 2015, p. 2). In relation to fuel and flight caterings, Emirates has managed to have a cost advantage, therefore other companies find it hard to match what they use ('Emirates suffers 1bn blow' 2011, p. 12). As it is a government run airline, the governmental policies relating to it are quite flexible due to the national carriers and monarchy.
Currently, there are approximately 37 airlines which fly from and to Dubai. The Middle East region has showcased significant growth of around 11% in the last decade. The diversity of competitors is also a factor that presents competition to Emirates (Babić, Tatalović & Bajić 2017, 147). There are international flyers, domestic flyers, and the global flyers. Fortunately, sustainable competitive advantage has been achieved through improvisation of products by installing fully reclining seats and even offering live TV (Buyck 2014, p.46).
Customers have a bargaining leverage as they can choose which package they want to use to reach the same destination. When there are more people travelling to a specific destination, they have the power to bargain as the airline will lose a lot if they decide to use a competitor airline. There is also a high risk of losing customers if they are lured by a competitor's cheaper tickets or better services.
The bargaining power for suppliers is very high as there are only 2 of them in the market. Therefore, since there are also many airlines to serve, they have the advantage of controlling prices of materials as they can easily substitute which company they work with (Flottau 2014, p. 37). Also, the fact that many airlines are still considering an expansion works in their favor (Mowat 2016, p. 2).
There is a high threat of substitute as the industry only has two types of options that consumers seek. These are; budget and luxury. The result of this is the offering of very high product prices.
A value chain analysis mainly features the analysis of inbound logistics, operational activities, outbound logistics, marketing and sales, and company services. Emirates airlines has reasonable benefit in inbound logistics period as it has established strong relationships with its suppliers, and also has advanced systems for stock control and specialized training for employees (Siddique 2004, p. 220). Therefore, it has highly qualified engineers, flight deck crew, cabin crew and other professionals ('More Singapore flights for Emirates' 2014, p. 14). It also has a sufficient amount of airlines and an equivalent number of pilots and their assistants. Therefore, flights are always maintained in a timely manner.
In relation to operations, the Emirates Airlines offers outstanding services as it has quite a variety of airline products. Therefore, it can offer any type of services that it feels its customers need. Also, the airline offers cheap long haul flight services which gives it improved competitive advantage (Mules 2013, p.3). In relation to outbound logistics, it is clear that Emirates is able to acquire any necessary equipment in the fastest timeframe possible. This gives it the capability of offering emergency client services. It always keeps flight schedules and picks customers as desired. Its business supervision is handled by reporting and audit among many others.
The marketing and sales of this airline has seen to it that vertical integration into main business arrangement has been achieved. It has employed various strategies such as constantly improving its infrastructure to incorporate the changing customer needs.
Lastly, services offered varying greatly. Aside from the different flight classes, the specific advantages of each class is noted by the difference in seats, availability of lounge services, service desks and even luggage weights.
All the above operations are responsible for ensuring the airline is successful. However, other necessary factors include; human resource management, technology development, and procurement (Walker 2017, p. 13). The company has over 60,000 employees, all of whom must go through the Emirates Aviation College to ensure they polish their skills and offer quality service to the organization and its employees. Once employed, a reward package is offered to ensure they are always motivated to work hard.
This company has put in place a team of experts who work in their research center to ensure the company benefits from the identification and employment of the most modern form of technology (Pinkham 2003, p. 30). Lastly, this company obtains its properties from various locations. It features sources from inside and outside the emirates group.

This company has strength in the sense that it is among the leading airlines worldwide. It has showcased the capability of still carrying on with operations even in the midst of crises ('The Emirates Group SWOT Analysis' 2017, p. 6). It always offers high service quality by ensuring that customers are always the priority. The fact that it offers training and even has its own college is also a strength as it shows that it develops its staff. In addition, the employees are chosen from various regions, leading to a diversified set of employees.
Unfortunately, it also has weaknesses in the sense that it has no succession plan in place for its top leaders ('Good leadership matters!' 2015, p. 57). There are no corporate governance practices in place. Also, despite being an Emirates airline, it has no Emirati staff as there are no skilled individuals of this race (Randeree 2009, p. 4). Therefore, it can easily be viewed as a discriminative brand. Lastly, there is the diseconomy of scale when the airline gets more complex as it expands and costs also increase.
This airline enjoys several opportunities that are at its disposal. For instance, it has the opportunity of developing more advanced airlines that will be more appealing to consumers, hence improving loyalty. Also, it can leverage its infrastructure business to help it achieve competitive advantage in the industry. Lastly, since it is part of the Emirates group, it can enjoy the establishment of low cost airlines that will be attractive to many passengers who simply cannot afford the more expensive flights.
Lastly, there are threats that may prevent the success of this company. First, there is high rivalry both locally and internationally as more airlines are being established to meet the growing demand of individuals to travel from one country to the next. The economic crises disturbed the airline business by impacting the willingness and capability of customers to afford the flight tickets. Also, it triggered price fluctuations of oil and currency exchange rates, which can greatly impact the profits made by the company.
One of the strategies employed by Emirates Airlines is that it seeks to expand by using strategic partnerships ("Qantas is most punctual airline" 2014, p. 23). For instance, when it entered into a partnership with Qantas, which is also a leading airline, it was able to achieve the goal of expanding its flights to various destinations and even offering service to over two million customers (Xiaowen, Tae Hoon & Anming 2010, p.39).
Another strategy is that it contributes by FDI in the specific country it operates. It offers employment opportunities to the individuals of that given country, a factor which earns it favor from many of them. For example, it created over 85,000 job opportunities in Europe with a FDI of approximately € 6.8 billion to the GDP in 2014.
Lastly, another main strategy is building a strong brand equity. It has managed to establish itself as the most competitive airline that offers high quality services to consumers at fair prices.
There have been anti-competitive claims against Emirates which state that its ownership structure enables it an unfair advantage such as the government writing off any debts it has acquired ('Market Wrap' 2013, p. 6). Such claims reflect negatively on the company which is viewed as exploiting the nation and misusing its resources. Another challenge is that, despite it being the only airline in Dubai, there are other airlines which transport passengers to and from Dubai (Walker 2014, p. 11). This caused a congestion of the runway and airport facility. Also, by expanding into new markets Emirates encountered more competitors who threaten its growth (Rothman 2016, p. 17).
The first option to consider here is the market penetration. Emirates can decide to retain its market share and instead seek alternatives to boost its market share growth. It should encourage the already available users to fly more often. Second, the company can try to pursue new routes so that the present customers will not have to leave the company's services in search of more satisfactory ones (Thomas 2009, p. 62). Third, it should engage in new product development by creating a section of private suites where luxury customers can pay extra for. Lastly, there is a need to consider the low cost carrier as there are many individuals who need the flight services but cannot afford the current costs.
Of the selected options, all are suitable except for the third option which features the development of private suits. This would lead to highly expensive charges which may cause prospective customers to prefer other luxury seats. In addition, the company has already released a private jet service which covers for this need ('Emirates Launches Private Jet Service' 2013, p.10). In relation to feasibility, all remaining options qualify. This is because the company is in a position to retain its current market share and work on making it more active. It is also able to pursue new routes through partnerships that will enable it to function as required (Winters 2010, p. 11). Finally, low cost carriers can also be considered as it is intended to bring about more profits for the company (Terrero 2008, p. 55). Lastly, in relation to acceptability, all options are not complicated. Therefore, no resistance is expected in relation to these options as they are all low cost strategic considerations that are meant to bring about profit for the company.
To implement these strategic options, important steps must be considered. First, they should not be implemented all at once. Second, all required resources must be readily available before any step is taken. Therefore, the company should set aside extra funds for marketing the brand as it is to achieve the first option. Second, the next two options will require the presence of more fleets to ensure no shortage or delays are experienced after implementation.
From the analysis conducted, it is evident that Emirates has been showcasing outstanding performance. It has experienced increased revenues over the years despite the presence of a series of competitors and other challenges in its environment (Shearman 2011, p. 3). To achieve this, Emirates had to establish itself as an industry leader, not only in its region but internationally too (Rothman 2016, p. 16). This is why, even with new entrants into the market, its position has remained unturned for far too long. This company has managed to fully satisfy the needs of its consumers over the years by constantly differentiating its products to ensure that all its prospective consumers will find a product that they need.
This is not to imply that the company has not had its fair share of challenges. For instance, with very many airlines, it has lost its bargaining power to suppliers who are much less in number and are therefore in high demand ('UAE Aviation' 2012, p. 46). Also, in an attempt to serve its ever growing customer base, the company had to give its customers the bargaining power simply because losing them would be catastrophic for the performance of Emirates. Other challenges relate to its brand image whereby several incidents, such as being favored because it is government owned, have served to taint it. This can lead to the loss of a few customers who may view the airline as a way for the government to exploit their finances.
Therefore, to revive this company's financial deteriorating health, the best approach at the moment is to take the risk and purchase more airlines which will be used to tap into the previously untapped market, while also offering second class seats to middle class citizens who cannot afford expensive tickets. This is the best approach as the first option would mean not taking the risk, hence experiencing little income. There is a need to always research more and look for best ways to employ this strategy without experiencing a lot of risk and uncertainty.

text: Doha - Three players reached the quarter-finals of a soggy Qatar Open Wednesday during another rain-affected day which left top seed Angelique Kerber still waiting to play her first match.Number three seed Dominika Cibulkova, Zhang Shuai and Monica Puig were all able to complete their matches -- in fact, both Zhang and Puig played two matches on Wednesday -- to make their way through to the last eight.But for the rest of the field it was another frustrating day as Qatar continued to suffer some of its worst weather in years.The continual rain means that Kerber faces the prospect of playing two matches on Thursday if she wins her second round match. The former world number one had received a bye for the first round.She will start against Daria Kasatkina of Russia at 0800 GMT.The winner of that match faces Olympic gold medal winner Puig later on in the day, weather permitting.Also playing on Thursday will be great friends Agnieszka Radwanska, the number four seed, and Denmark's Caroline Wozniacki in a last 16 clash.The pair made it out onto centre court only for the rain to intervene again without a single game being played.Of the few matches that were completed, Cibulkova's clash against Russia's Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova was the pick.The Slovakian won in three sets, 7-5, 2-6, 6-2 and admitted afterwards it had been a hard match."I knew it's going to be a tough one, especially now," said Cibulkova. "She's in great form. She played quarter-finals in Australian Open. "When she's in good form, it's going to be really tough."Spain's Garbine Muguruza, the number five seed, was the biggest casualty of the day, losing to Zhang 6-7 (7/3), 6-3, 5-7.Like Zhang, Muguruza was playing her second match of the day having earlier breezed past Turkey's Cagla Buyukakcay in her first round match, 6-3, 6-2."I woke up thinking that I was going to have a very tough day," said French Open champion Muguruza. "I played pretty good the first match... the second one, I think Zhang played very well. "Honestly, the conditions were difficult. We were in a court where there was another court next to us. There was a lot of wind. She was finding her shots."Muguruza is the highest seed to go out.Puerto Rican Puig cruised through her first match on Wednesday thrashing Germany's Laura Siegemund 6-0, 6-1.She was then one set all with Yulia Putintseva, before the Kazakh retired with a thigh injury with the score at 2-1 to Puig in the third.Earlier Putintseva won through against the number seven seed, Timea Bacsinszky, after the Swiss herself pulled out with a thigh injury.The forecast for Thursday is for more rain.

Election of the best agricultural web sites in France
The 29 February 2000, ACTA is organising a public meeting within the Paris agricultural show: "Agricultural and rural web: new tools and services".
ACTA proposed to users to elect their favourite agricultural sites. Users were invited to vote through a questionnaire available on the web till 11 February 2000. The results of the vote will be presented at the end of the meeting.
To encourage users to participate, one of the voters will get a box of 6 bottles of good Bordeaux wine.
Contact: Guy Waksman
ACTA created its weekly electronic newsletter distributed through the mailing list called liste-afia in 1997 at the beginning of the AGRIMMEDIA project (ESPRIT programme). This newsletter addresses all people which may be interested by the use of ICT in agriculture, food industry and in rural areas. We are convinced that:
- ICT offers splendid opportunities to agricultural and rural people, who would have common areas of interest despite the diversity of their professional and personal status
- Agricultural and rural people really need information about what is happening in ICT. They have no time to spend to search on the web what could be useful for them. We have to push information up to their PCs through electronic messages.
A recent survey performed in France estimated that there are 10000 French farmers connected to the web… but ACTA has only 5400 subscribers (February 2000) to its newsletter, among them 200 to 300 farmers. Most of the subscribers are journalists, IT professional people, communication specialists and simple IT users, searchers, book-keepers, advisors, co-operatives, agrochemical firms, teachers, etc.
The ACTA newsletter was presented at the EFITA 99 meeting held in Bonn. The following elements are intended to complete the presentation made in Bonn.
We systematically propose to all people who may have some contacts with ACTA to subscribe our newsletter. But if people want to unsubscribe, they are immediately removed from our mailing list. This newsletter cannot be considered spam as long as the sender includes contact information & a method of "removal".
ACTA organises a challenge "Which are your favourite agricultural web site?". People answering this question on the ACTA site are invited to subscribe our newsletter. We get a number of subscriptions thanks to this offer.
We try to limit the number of pages. A newsletter should not have more than four pages but there is quite often to much information to disseminate. We have then five to six pages. Our feeling is that it is too much. The risk is that the readers find the newsletter boring, or have no time enough to read it. Then they are tempted to unsubscribe.
The layout of a newsletter has to be as simple as possible, and should not change from one issue to the following one.
We ask our readers to send us information, news about their own projects, web sites, software programmes, services based on IT, etc. This is the reason why our newsletter includes commercial information. We estimate that advertisements are useful as long as their informative content remains high.
At the end of each information paragraph, are indicated a contact people and a web site address to enable our readers to get more information.
We try to inform our reader about all new sites, which may be on interest from a technical, commercial, social or educational point of view. But we do not neglect to introduce a joke, which our readers provide us with.

A Fun Quiz
This question tests whether you tend to do simple things in an overly complicated way.
Open the refrigerator, put in the elephant and close the refrigerator.
The Elephant. The Elephant is in the refrigerator.
This tests your memory. OK, even if you did not answer the first three questions, correctly you can surely answer this one.
4. There is a river you must cross. But it is inhabited by crocodiles. How do you manage it?
Correct Answer: You swim across. All the crocodiles are attending the Animal Meeting! This tests whether you learn quickly from your mistakes.
According to Andersen Consulting Worldwide, around 90% of the professionals they tested got all questions wrong. But many preschoolers got several correct answers. Andersen Consulting says this conclusively disproves the theory that most professionals have the brains of a four-year old.

Bluegreen timeshare allows couples, families and friends to plan any kind of vacation experience. Explore historic landmarks. Ski black diamond runs. Immerse yourself in big-city gaming, dining or nightlife. Slip into waders and cast for bass in a rushing river or motor your Tracker® to a quiet finger where trout are biting. Choice is one of the biggest advantages of Bluegreen Vacation Club ownership.
Beach vacations are especially popular choices, and Bluegreen resorts offer quality beachfront timeshare in virtually all climates of the continental United States, not to mention island resorts in Hawaii, the Bahamas and Aruba. That means you have not only choices, but also the flexibility—another Bluegreen advantage—to enjoy the sun and surf any time of year. Learn more about Bluegreen vacation ownership, and discover all Bluegreen resorts, vacation experiences and destinations at Bluegreen Vacations.
In the meantime, let's take a look at all of your choices for a Bluegreen timeshare beach vacation experience. And let's begin in Florida, where Bluegreen resorts dot the entire peninsula and Panhandle from the Gulf Stream to the Gulf of Mexico.
Daytona Beach/Ormond Beach: If Daytona Beach is "The World's Most Famous Beach," then Ormond Beach, its toned-down neighbor just to the north, well might be the World's Best Kept Secret. They share miles and miles of sand so famously dense that cars are allowed in designated areas, not to mention perfect conditions for shell collecting and surfing. In Daytona Beach, you can enjoy stays at Daytona SeaBreeze, Fantasy Island Resort II and Dolphin Beach Club; in Ormond Beach, Casa del Mar Beach Resort and Outrigger Beach Club.
Delray Beach: Gulfstream Manor offers a quiet and largely private oceanfront setting in the tiny Town of Gulf Stream. Minutes south on State Road A1A is Delray Beach, famous for trendy shopping along Atlantic Avenue, unique galleries and entertainment venues in the Pineapple Cove Arts District, and eclectic restaurants all around such as Dada. And 15 minutes north up State Road A1A, vacationers who prefer posh can enjoy upscale shopping and dining on Worth Avenue in Palm Beach.
Surfside: Just north of Miami Beach along the barrier islands of Dade County, Surfside Beach is indistinguishable from its southern neighbors except for the smaller crowds. When you stay at Solara Surfside, you can unfold your beach lounge in front of the same teal and turquoise expanse you'd find in front of the Clevelander or News Café in South Beach. Still, if you're up for power walking along some combination of shoreline and intermittent secluded beach path, have at it—South Beach is just 8 miles away. Of course, if you're up for power shopping instead, upscale venues like Bal Harbor Shops are much closer.
Marathon: Surprisingly, there aren't a lot of beaches in the Florida Keys. But guests of The Hammocks at Marathon are just 11 miles along Overseas Highway from the famous trio of beaches at Bahia Honda State Park—Colusa, Loggerhead and the gorgeous Sandspur. For the record, there is a strip of beach at the resort that's fine for sunbathing, but swimming is prohibited because of nearby marina fish-cleaning operations. The resort pool more than makes up for this inconvenience.
Sanibel Island: The beaches keep shell collectors engaged and busy like almost no place else, but that's about as high-energy as it gets on Sanibel Island, where the main drag for beach-y shops and restaurants is named Periwinkle Way, and the trendsetter for all-occasion male wardrobe is Shaggy from Scooby-Doo. The Bluegreen timeshare on Sanibel Island is Surfrider Beach Club—steps from the beach, close to the mainland causeway and minutes from the Sanibel Island Light, the First lighthouse built in Florida north of Key West.
Fort Myers Beach: Fort Myers Beach on Estero Island is just one level below nearby Sanibel Island for shell collectors. It's No. 1 for vacationing families, though, at least outside spring break season; the beach is super clean, the water is shallow and always calm, and the sugary, white Gulf sands are soft on the little ones' feet. Fort Myers Beach is also ideal for romantic couples; the seafood is sumptuous and the sunsets are beyond description. Two Bluegreen resorts are right on the beach—Windward Passage Resort, close to the shops and restaurants on Times Square and the iconic Pelican Pier, and Mariner's Boathouse & Beach Resort, on a lagoon beach at the southern end of the island. A third resort, Tropical Sands Resort, is only one block away.
Bradenton Beach/Holmes Beach: The cranes, herons and pelicans that live year-round on Anna Maria Island are more than happy to share the wide, lustrous, sugar-sand beaches of this Gulf Coast paradise with human visitors. That also goes for the sea turtles that nest there between May and October. The skinny island across Anna Maria Sound from busy Bradenton, just 7 miles long north to south, somehow makes room for three beach communities. Holmes Beach, in the center of the island, is home to comfy Resort Sixty-Six, which shares a roof with Beach Bistro, a Zagat-rated, cloth napkin-and-stemmed glass dining experience. Bradenton Beach to the south is home to Via Roma Beach Resort, small but praised for its service, cleanliness, value and, most of all, its unbeatable location.
St. Pete Beach: To the north of Anna Maria Island, on an even skinnier barrier strip across from St. Petersburg called Long Key, vacationers can enjoy the same soft sands but accompanied by luxury amenities and a menu of organized activities. At Bluegreen at TradeWinds in the tiny community of St. Peach Beach, guests can enjoy any of multiple bars and restaurants on property including the Guy Harvey RumFish Grill, plus tennis, a spa, and easy access to snorkeling, diving, golf and other recreation activities.
Panama City Beach: Panama City Beach officials have fully capitalized on the appeal of their natural beachfront assets—white Panhandle sands, warm gulf waters—by complementing them with attractions, activities and recreation opportunities that appeal to vacationers of all ages. Enjoy zoos, museums, water parks and a magnificent outdoor mall. Bluegreen timeshare offers three beachront resorts—Landmark Holiday Beach Resort, Ocean Towers Beach Club and Panama City Resort & Club.
South Carolina
Myrtle Beach: Myrtle Beach is the centerpiece of a 60-mile stretch of beach in South Carolina's Lowcountry called the Grand Strand. The beauty of the Grand Strand is in its ecological and biological diversity—it encompasses soft beaches, saltwater marshes, forest canopies, and even swamps. Among beach experiences, no vacation destination anywhere may intentionally cultivate a more wholesome, family-friendly environment—by law, thongs and other revealing swimwear are prohibited everywhere. Bluegreen offers beachfront accommodations at SeaGlass Tower in Myrtle Beach and Shore Crest Vacation Villas I and II in North Myrtle Beach. Other Bluegreen options in Myrtle Beach: Carolina Grande (across the street from the beach), Horitzon at 77th (a block away) and Harbour Lights (5 miles inland, along a beautiful stretch of the Intracoastal Waterway).
Gulf Shores: The unpretentious northern beaches of the Gulf of Mexico are relaxing but hardly boring. Gulf Shores is a popular destination for fishing, including charter fishing, not to mention for watersports and dramatic sunset cruises. Inland, golf is a big draw, and family attractions are abundant. Bluegreen offers Shoreline Towers on the beach and Paradise Isle Resort, just across the street from the beach.
New Jersey
Atlantic City: People who have never vacationed in Atlantic City in the summer, and associate it mainly with casinos and rolling chair rides on the boardwalk, might not appreciate how beautiful the beach is—or how integral it is to the overall AC experience. Bluegreen Vacation Club owners can find out for themselves by booking a stay in Bluegreen at Atlantic Palace, right on the Boardwalk and beach.
Dennis Port: Lazy summer days swimming or windsurfing in the warm waters of Nantucket Sound—yes, there are an abundance of interesting places to see and things to do that can't be seen or done anywhere else, but beach time outside Bluegreen's quiet, next-door Dennis Port resorts, The Soundings Seaside Resort and The Breakers Resort, epitomize relaxation on an idyllic Cape Cod vacation.
Kapaa, island of Kauai: Kapaa Beach Park, just steps from Pono Kai Resort on the eastern shore of Hawaii's Garden Isle, faces a placid lagoon. An offshore reef protects the park's white-sand beaches from the harsher surf of the Ka'ie'ie Waho Channel, which separates Kauai from Oahu. The beaches also are mere minutes from other natural wonders of Kauai—notably Nounou Mountain, the hike-able ridge also known as Sleeping Giant.
Oranjestad: Eagle Beach, near the southern point of Aruba's northwestern crescent, is regularly mentioned in discussions of the world's great beaches. Indeed, its rain-free year-round climate, gentle breezes, soft white sands and clear aqua waters draw visitors to world-class snorkeling, scuba diving and parasailing experiences. A mere boulevard crossing from this paradise, Bluegreen presents the super-resort La Cabana Beach Resort & Casino.
Nassau: Cable Beach just outside Nassau is known for its cleanliness, the magnificent color palette of its waters, and its proximity to a variety age-appropriate island experiences for vacationers of all ages, from carriage rides to casinos. Bluegreen's resort in Nassau is Blue Water Resort at Cable Beach.
Bonus beaches
Finally, Bluegreen resorts are close enough to beaches in other vacation destinations to allow for the inclusion of beach time in vacation plans built mainly around other activities.
St. Augustine, Florida: Guests who come to Grand Villas at World Golf Village® to play the two championship courses, tour the World Golf Hall of Fame®, or take lessons from top pros are just one-half hour away from St. Augustine Beach, Anastasia Park and Recreation Area beaches and Vilano Beach.
Savannah, Georgia: Vacationers booked in Studio Homes at Ellis Square who come to Savannah to explore its 280-year history or test its reputation as a stronghold of the paranormal are also only 30 minutes from the beach—in this case on Tybee Island, home of the iconic Tybee Island Light Station.

CLEARWATER, Fla. — Ivan Nova's pitching line was ugly, but he was all smiles and feeling good about the way he threw the ball on Thursday.
Nova allowed three runs on nine hits in five innings, but he didn't issue a walk and struck out six in the 6-2 split-squad loss to the Phillies at Bright House Field.
All nine hits came during the first three innings, including six in the third inning, when Nova allowed all three of his runs. Four of those hits were basically well-placed ground balls, however, leaving Nova pleased.
"They weren't hitting the ball hard," said Nova, who threw 56 of 75 pitches for strikes. "I made good pitches. The hits weren't too hard, a couple in the infield. If they're going to hit against you, it's good to keep the ball on the ground."
Joe Girardi and about half his club left Thursday night for Panama, where they'll face the Marlins on Saturday and Sunday as part of MLB's "Legend Series" honoring Mariano Rivera in his home country.
Most Read
The Yankees made a late roster change, sending Francisco Cervelli instead of Brian McCann, who will stay back in Florida to catch both Masahiro Tanaka and Hiroki Kuroda.
Other notable players making the trip are Derek Jeter, Carlos Beltran, Brett Gardner, Alfonso Soriano, CC Sabathia and Dave Robertson. Coaches Tony Pena and Kevin Long will join Girardi, as will special instructors Reggie Jackson and Willie Randolph.
"I think we know what the Yankees mean to Mo, and I think we know what his country means," Girardi said. "To be able to combine the two, I think it's really special to him."
Cervelli's strong spring continued, this time with a pair of solid plays in the field. Cervelli made a nice play on a relay throw in the third, getting the tag down on Domonic Brown for the third out, then threw out Tyson Gillies trying to steal second base in the sixth inning, making the throw from his knees.

As it turns out, our love of coffee isn't just in our heads. Coffee is quite literally causing us to fall in love with it — and, as a bonus, it's helping us reach our weight-loss goals in the process.
Read more: The 12 Worst Coffee Drinks to Order
Researchers from the Huazhong University of Science and Technology in Wuhan, China, injected mice with caffeine for two weeks and found that it boosted the release of oxytocin (also known as "the love hormone" or "the cuddle hormone" because it is typically released when people cuddle or bond with each other). That oxytocin boost in turn helped to suppress the tiny rodents' appetites and motivated them to exercise.
Here's the more scientific explanation for why caffeine is so great for weight loss: It blocks adenosine receptors in the brain, which play a key role in creating feelings of sleepiness or drowsiness (which is why we drink it first thing in the morning — go figure). When those receptors are blocked, it triggers adrenaline, endorphins and the release of oxytocin in brain cells.
"We found caffeine significantly reduced the food intakes and increased the wheel-running activities of diet-induced obese mice," said Guo Zhang, the lead author of the study, as reported by The Daily Mail. "Together, the results demonstrate caffeine treatment ameliorates obesity and related illnesses through both the reduction of food intake and the promotion of energy expenditure."
The new study's findings further corroborate past studies regarding coffee and weight loss. A 2015 study, for example, found that just a couple of cups of coffee a day helped dieters keep off the pounds once they reached their desired weight, according to The Daily Mail
Of course, the mice's caffeine doses were extremely high (the equivalent of 24 to 36 cups of coffee for humans), but researchers believe an anti-obesity pill containing high levels of caffeine could be developed to achieve similar results.
Keeping our weight down and exercise motivation up aren't the only benefits of coffee. A few more perks include staving off Alzheimer's disease, liver disease, Type 2 diabetes and depression and even lowering the risk of early death.
Maybe all we really need is love and coffee after all.

How did I "get into mindfulness"?
It was in the yoga studio where I was first introduced to the concept of the mind-body connection, as well as discovered how little I knew about my own. Around the same time in my life, I experienced health challenges that propelled me to investigate how my mental health was impacting my physical (and vice versa). As my understanding of health was shifting, I was also pursuing a degree in Psychology, studying the science of the mind.
With a growing passion for mental health, interest in cultivating community, and desire to create positive systemic change, I pursued a career in Social Work. Throughout my counselling training, I integrated mindfulness as a foundational practice in my work. I've seen first-hand how the practice has benefited wide-ranging populations with complex challenges, from youth using self-harm to cope to employees experiencing compassion fatigue. Here is My Happiness isn't about the pursuit of happiness, but about finding peace in the present through acceptance, commitment and compassion.
It is my joy to host workshops and retreats that allow me to facilitate inspired discussions in a supportive environment, integrating my creativity and knowledge of mental health best practices.

Filipina and son fight to remain in IsraelWorld | 13 Aug 2019
The deportation from Israel of a Filipina and her locally born son was delayed at the 11th hour to await a court decision.
Rosemarie Perez was grabbed by immigration officials along with son Rohan, 13, last week for being in Israel illegally.
They were sent to Ben-Gurion Airport near Tel Aviv on Sunday night but then taken off a plane, said Beth Franco of the United Children of Israel. A lawyer had requested an urgent hearing on their status in a bid to remain.
They argue it is cruel to send Rohan to a country he has never seen and where he does not speak the language. An immigration spokeswoman said Perez "has been here illegally for 10 years."

Napoleon and the French Revolution Analytical Essay by Winston
Napoleon and the French Revolution
An examination of the influence of Napoleon Bonaparte on the social and institutional changes that arose from the French Revolution.
# 3033 | 2,766 words | 2 sources | 2001 |

The paper argues that a fundamental shift to a more i just society, with a bureaucratic and rational culture, and a country with less oppression and more individual freedom and opportunity is what evolved out of the work of the first French revolutionaries, such as Napoleon Bonaparte. Napoleon did much to promote and advance the wide-ranging social, economic, and cultural changes that arose from the French Revolution, and it is this legacy and its completion by Bonaparte that this essay focuses on. The principles are divided into several areas: religious, legal, educational, and economic, as well as comments on the institution of the military.
From the Paper:"In addition, the seizure and sale of church lands was finally declared irrevocable and purchases of biens nationaux were guaranteed to the new property owners. The Church would never regain its unearned wealth and economic power. To put it simply, under the Concordat the Catholic Church was no longer an independent corporation within the state, but a body of salaried state servants dependent on the government."
