If you're drawing a blank on a Mother's Day gift this year, why not give mom the planets? Jupiter and the moon will offer what promises to be a stunning dawn cosmic line-up on Sunday.
A good time to look for the gas giant Jupiter and the crescent moon will be around 5:30 a.m. local time, weather permitting, according to a NASA alert.
You don't even have to drag mom outside to see the astronomical show. A glance out any east-facing window with an unobstructed view of the sky should do, NASA said. This handy sky map shows where to look Sunday morning to see Jupiter and the moon.
Early-bird stargazers who do go outside with telescopes in tow should be able to see even more details of the moon's craters and Jupiter. With a small telescope, observers can discern the planet's four big moons — Io, Europa, Ganymede and Callisto — which are also known as the "Galilean satellites" since they were discovered by Galileo Galilee (using his own simple telescope) 400 years ago.
Jupiter and the moon will appear in what astronomers call a conjunction, when two or more objects appear near each other and have the same celestial longitude (on star maps) in the sky.
The two objects will be separated by about 5 degrees of arc in the sky. For comparison, a clenched fist held up at arm's length would cover about 10 degrees of arc in the sky.
Of course, some mothers may want to sleep in on the day dedicated to them. But that doesn't mean they completely miss out. Another planet and star will put in a follow-up performance at sunset, offering another attractive target, weather permitting.
Venus, the second planet from the sun, and the bright star Sirius will appear together about halfway up in the western sky. They won't appear as close together as Jupiter and the moon, but she will shine much brighter. (More Venus photos.)
Venus is the brightest planet in the night sky, while Sirius — also known as the "Dog Star" — is the brightest star, according to NASA's alert. Observers with a small telescope can reveal Sirius sparkling like a diamond with occasional rainbow-colored glints. Venus should appear as a pearly object in the sky.
If your mom gets confused over which bright object is Venus, just point to the steady, shining light. Stars twinkle in the sky (due to atmospheric interference) but brighter, closer planets offer a steady light.
For observers living in high latitudes on Earth, there may be yet another astronomical treat on Saturday offering a prelude to this year's Mother's Day sky sightings.
There is a 20 percent chance that a geomagnetic storm, created by solar wind particles hitting the Earth's magnetic field, may create stunning aurora displays, also known as the Northern Lights, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.

WITH VIDEO -- Red Bull Racing's X1 Prototype, designed by Adrian Newey and tested by Formula One driver Sebastian Vettel, will be included in the Gran Turismo 5 video game set to go on sale in November.
When creating Gran Turismo 5, the Polyphony Digital design team wanted an ultimate car, one not limited by the rules.
"Every race in the world today conforms to some sort of regulations, and every racing car is built to fit within those various regulations," said Kazunori Yamauchi, president of Polyphony Digital Inc. "However, the X1 is something new, created from a 'what-if' scenario, a dream we have long held at Polyphony."
The design team asked Newey, Red Bull Racing's chief technical officer and aerodynamic expert, to act as technical adviser and to help create the dream car.
"We all have a dream about pushing the boundaries, where the performance of the car and the experience of the driver take precedence over the rules," said Newey. "As a result, the X1 Prototype is dynamite to drive."
To test the virtual car, Polyphony brought in Red Bull driver Vettel. He drove the X1 around a virtual copy of Japan's Suzuka race course, shattering the real world record set by Kimi Räikkönen in 2005 by more than 20 seconds.
"Adrian's dream car handled brilliantly," said Vettel. "There are few tracks that reward bravery and commitment more than Suzuka, and I can't think of a better way to experience the pace and performance of the X1 Prototype than going through 130R at full throttle."

Prior to her stop with the Cowgirls, Mincy was a standout forward for the Ole Miss Rebels from 2003-07. Her senior season proved to be a special one for the Memphis native as Mincy captained the Rebels to an Elite Eight appearance in 2007.
The two-time SEC honor roll selection also went on to capture Female Athlete of the Year honors for the Ole Miss athletics program capping off her career in Oxford, Miss. Starting 33 games and averaging nearly 30 minutes a night during her senior campaign, Mincy finished second on the squad in rebounding averaging 7.4 boards-per-contest.
Mincy graduated from Ole Miss in 2007 and went on to spend two years in pharmaceutical sales where she ranked in the top four percent as a sales representative.

Cryptocurrencies enter the mainstream. There are a few problems with current popularity, the most important being that people enter the market without understanding it.

This is fine – this has been applied to the NASDAQ for decades for untrained traders who make complex calculations at complex companies – but in crypto the technology is related to the price and misunderstanding about the news from services such as CoinDesk can cause many problems. To some extent, the crypto-loyalists are fond of the fact that their world is inscrutable. In another degree this causes a number of nail-biting times.

Gay Marriage At Presbyterian Church (USA) General Assembly Voted Down
Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick officiated the ceremony and added some levity by saying Frank, 72, and Ready, 42, had vowed to love each other through Democratic and Republican administrations alike, and even through appearances on Fox News, according to Al Green, a Democratic congressman from Texas.
"Barney was beaming," said Green, who attended the ceremony. He added that Frank, a champion of gay rights and the sweeping reform of Wall Street, shed a tear during the ceremony.
After exchanging their vows, Frank and Ready embraced each other, Green said. "It was no different than any other wedding I've attended when you have two people who are in love with each other," Green said.
Frank, a Massachusetts Democrat and a former chairman of the powerful House Financial Services Committee, has been an openly gay congressman since the late 1980s.
He is well known for his legislative acumen, including as an architect of the reforms in the Dodd-Frank bill, which U.S. President Barack Obama signed into law in 2010 in the wake of the financial crisis following the collapse of the sub-prime mortgage market.

Earlier this week, PBS posted a 7-minute documentary on its PBS Off Book YouTube channel, quickly exploring "The Rise of Webcomics" using the voices of several notable authors and webcomics promoters: Christina Xu of Breadpig, Nick Gurewitch of Perry Bible Fellowship, Sam Brown of Exploding Dog, Lucy Knisley of Stop Paying Attention, and Andrew Hussie of Homestuck. The five talk about what draws them to their subjects and why they think the webcomic is a superior medium.
"I think webcomics are interesting because they have kind of a lot of different lineages." Christina Xu says in the video, "There's the standard Marvel DC comic books, there's the newspaper comic strips, and then there's also the zine, and I think for me, webcomics are interesting 'cause they combine all three and they make it available to such a wide audience."
We here at Ars have known about the beauty and versatility of webcomics for ages, as reflected in our recent staff list of the most incredible webcomics, and in our reader-picks follow-up story. Wikipedia's list of notable webcomics even goes back to 1985. Still, the genre hasn't had mainstream appeal until recently (XKCD and The Oatmeal seem to be two of the most well-known, but not necessarily always the best-loved, comics). Whether that growing popularity is coming from a wider swath of population having regular exposure to the Internet, or from the slow death of local newspapers' "funny columns," or just from better content being available online, the PBS documentary doesn't venture to speculate. But the authors featured in PBS' video all either cite collaboration with other comic creators or constant feedback from the audience as factors that set webcomics apart from older comic formats.

How to use Falcon Pro for twitter on Android devices
I don't know whether you guys are familiar with this client but it is by far the most complete twitter client for Android.
Once available on the play store, the application was then removed by request from twitter after reaching the maximum allowed authentication requests of 100 000 users, especially that the app which costed 5$ was mainly installed via blackmart and aptoide for free.
That forbid users who already bought the app from the play store and those who were willing to pay for it from getting the app or any further updates it could have. However, Falcon Pro developers made the app available for free on http://getfalcon.pro/ and included a very interesting (and smart) workaround in the last update (v2.4) which allowed users to overcome the maximum allowed tokens error.
Note: Users who already had an access token could easily upgrade to the latest version.
So here's a step by step guide to install and use the latest version of Falcon Pro for twitter:
1. Make sure you delete any older versions of Falcon Pro if you have them and restart device.
2. download and install the Falcon Pro for twitter app from http://getfalcon.pro/
3. Once you open the app a login screen will appear.
4. Press the Falcon logo, then press all corners until all squares are on, then turn off the orange one
5. Shake your phone!
explanation: I know this might sound crazy and it is but please carefully follow all steps.
click the logo –> click all 4 corners of the screen (each corner will light up with a different color) –> turn off the orange one (click it again) –> SHAKE YOUR PHONE!! yes shake it shake it!!
6. At this point you're in, follow ALL the instructions (Press HELP). No I mean it… PRESS THE HELP BUTTON!
7. A detailed picture guide will tell you what to do there.
8. Follow all steps and voila!
9. Tweets!
Please include any questions or problems you might have in the comments.
Does The Soul Exist?
"Does The Soul Exist? Evidence Says Yes" – Psychology Today.
Traditionally, science has dismissed the soul as an object of human belief, or reduced it to a psychological concept that shapes our cognition of the observable natural world. But new understandings of consciousness have challenged this claim. According to the theory, consciousness is derived from microtubules within brain cells (neurons) that are sites of quantum processing. According to Dr. Hameroff of the University of Arizona and British physicist Sir Roger Penrosen, when the heart stops beating, the blood stops flowing, and the microtubules lose their quantum state, the quantum information in the microtubules isn't destroyed. So could this explain near-death experiences, or the idea of our consciousness being eternal?:
"The quantum information within the microtubules is not destroyed, it can't be destroyed, it just distributes and dissipates to the universe at large. It's possible that the quantum information can exist outside the body, perhaps indefinitely, as a soul," he said. They have argued that our experience of consciousness is the result of quantum gravity effects in these microtubules, a theory which they dubbed orchestrated objective reduction (Orch-OR).
Thus it is held that our souls are more than the interaction of neurons in the brain. They are in fact constructed from the very fabric of the universe – and may have existed since the beginning of time. So yes, there is a part of your consciousness that is non-material and will live on after the death of your physical body.

Your Mind Can Sense The Future!
An interesting new study shows that our minds can sense the future 2-10 seconds before the event takes place.
This study called "Predictive Physiological Anticipation Preceding Seemingly Unpredictable Stimuli: A Meta-Analysis" shows that your mind actually has an energetic reaction to the future before it happens and before you are even aware of it.
They concluded that " the results of this meta-analysis indicate a clear effect, but we are not at all clear about what explains it". Once again, we have mainstream scientifically stable studies that give credence to the psychic aspects of the mind and the paranormal abilities of the brain.
The next time you have a thought about something before it actually occurs, that's because your brain really is picking up on it energetically in a way we can measure. Can this be explained by the pineal gland or the consciousness field as discussed in previous posts? Is time actually non-linear?

My long wire which feeds into a Global ATU and then into my AOR7030 is all but useless. So much so I hardly use it coupled with the poor reception over the last few years ... So with my wifes permission plus birthday and Xmas money I might consider one of these .. BUT if I do I want to be blown away with its performance. Im not asking much, would just like decent reception on 11300 for example plus Caribbean air nets etc .. Oh and I might change my mind if Kinloss closes and doesnt reopen down south !!

Report: Bucs CB Barber retiring

Conservation & Environment, Tropical Dry Forest Conservation & Community in Costa Rica by Ailish Cronin
Whilst browsing the internet for something to do over the summer I came across the Projects Abroad website. Reflecting on my trip I can honestly say that I am extremely pleased to have chosen the 2 Week Special, a little taste of both worlds - conserving our precious environment one week and caring for people in need the next.
Even as a child, I remember being acutely interested in travel and cultures, often immersing myself in my treasured encyclopedia and atlas. Volunteering had appealed to me for many years; however, before I discovered Projects Abroad, I thought it was restricted to the older and more mature.
From early on in the process it was apparent that I was in good hands. I was given endless amounts of information and advice on how to prepare for my journey while I found the staff to be very helpful, always willing to answer any questions I had.
Even before I set off they called me from their office in Costa Rica a couple of times to formally have a chat and ask about any concerns I might have - something that stood out to me. Since I had only ever flown to Ireland on my own I thought it would be best to ask if they knew of anyone else on my trip that would be leaving from the same airport as me. Right away they got back to me with another girl's email and I was able to make contact with her prior to travelling. I would definitely recommend this approach. It's a good way of making friends before reaching your destination and at least in my case it made my first encounter of connecting flights less daunting without the guidance of my parents.
The journey to Costa Rica
One of my many embarrassing memories happened at the start of the trip. Whilst at the airport I found myself lugging my two hiker's backpacks around, because there were no trollies left. I had packed a smaller one for my hand luggage and another much larger one, so between holding people up from my inability to walk faster than a tortoise, watching their pitying facial expressions and having my arms strained under the colossal weight, it left me in a torturous position. Both pieces of luggage were designed to be carried on my back but with only one back and two of these sorts of bags it didn't quite add up!
The weirdest experience has to be my first night in the country. Upon leaving the airport we were greeted by a friendly member of Projects Abroad staff who drove us to a nearby hotel where we would spend the next three nights, a cozy place near a large square decorated with traditional masks. Once there we met the first volunteer, a girl who had travelled all the way from the Netherlands. After introducing ourselves the four of us split into pairs so we could each share a bedroom for the night. It was odd, knowing that I was going to spend the next night sleeping in the same room, far away from home, as someone I had only just met but that's just one of the many quirks that will make your trip so unique.
Meeting others from different background and places certainly made for an interesting experience. Even if you're not the most talkative of people, don't let it put you off. I found it to be such a comfortable environment. It becomes so natural to the point where you're not even aware you're transforming into someone that isn't afraid to strike up a conversation with a stranger. Unbeknown to yourself, you have become less self-conscious.
The following day we visited InBio (Costa Rica's National Institute of Biodiversity) where we went to a butterfly park and got to see lots of wild iguanas wondering around the grounds. Furthermore, I got to see several sloths, a creature I had been very excited to get a closer look at.
Afterwards I got my first taste of a Costa Rican meal and I have to say, it was delicious. Over the weekend more and more volunteers arrived from all over the world, including France, Belgium, USA and Canada. By talking to the rest of the volunteers it quickly became apparent that they were all incredibly friendly. Mostly it was nice to talk to people that genuinely showed a mutual interest in what I had to say and where I came from throughout the course of the trip, something which I found to be very humbling.
Conservation Work
On the Monday we travelled to Diria National Park in Guanacaste Province, our first glance at a dry forest. When we arrived we were greeted by Richard, Lisa, Eduardo and Jose, all of whom worked at the park and would be looking after us for the next week. At lunch, we indulged ourselves in the food that our talented chef, Prima, provided. Rice and beans are the staple diet, in Costa Rica and so it is very normal to be welcomed by a serving of rice and beans instead of the usual cornflakes or toast in the morning.
Without phone signal or internet access, recreational time was often spent playing card games. Torches, toads and fireflies, also provided my friend and I with endless hours of fun as we made up all these games off the top of our heads. You soon improvise when you're phone isn't working! These may not sound like you're typical activities of choice but it really made for some of the funniest memories.
We were kept busy pretty much from dusk until dawn. On our first night we went on a night walk where we saw critters ranging from a boa constrictor about a metre away and less than a minute into the walk, a baby tarantula and an armadillo, to name just a few. The following included a long walk to a waterfall. We went through a river, across rocky terrain holding on to vines, like a scenes from an Indiana Jones movie. A word of advice for futures volunteers - make sure you test your waterproof shoes prior to leaving, otherwise you'll have very wet feet.
Over the next few days we carried out a bat study and a butterfly study where I caught a rare butterfly, after many failed attempts of only catching moths and that was kept for the park's census - a very proud moment! We also witnessed a magnificent tropical lightning storm.
Care work
On the second weekend we drove to our next destination, Liberia, where we met our hosts, Ana-Cecilia and her husband who were both very warm and welcoming. We did lots of activities including Costa Rican horse-riding, tubing, rock-climbing and zip-lining. We also went to hot springs and mud baths generated by the geothermal energy of the Arenal volcano. All in all, it was certainly a worthwhile afternoon.
On the Monday we were separated into smaller groups where I got to work with my friends at a day care center just outside the town. As soon as we arrived we were greeted with hospitality by members of staff and with open arms by the children who couldn't wait to know our names and show us around. We helped out with the distribution of food, washing and drying dishes, raking leaves, constructing a play area and playing with the children. Although it was very tiresome I would do it all over again in a heartbeat. These children were the most incredible little souls and it was a beautiful experience to be greeted by their joyful faces every day.
On the last day we showcased a play for them which was mainly made up of mime, something we had been practicing in the afternoons with an actor. We also made them lots of pretty handcrafted gifts. The children loved it and it was a great way to take the edge off saying goodbye as we knew that it was our last day yet it made the whole situation lighthearted and fun even though we knew we would miss them dearly.
If you are still wondering whether to do this project I have one last piece of advice and that is to just go! Projects Abroad are so supportive and you'll not only meet wonderful new people but make friends for life. Costa Rica is a beautiful country from its mountainous landscape to its people that live by the saying 'Pura Vida' meaning pure life. I know that if I had another chance to go back, I wouldn't hesitate and you can hold me to it when I say you're guaranteed to leave feeling the same way.

The Grenade Launch/
Ladies and gentlemen, where have I been all your month?
Where I've been is, first I went out of town for work, then I came home with a cold, then I went out of town again. The short month flew by, my skedge was always being cut at the corners, blogging got squeezed out, and all in all, it was a real Feh-bruary. (I just came up with that, really I did. You can use it, though. Or how about Meh-bruary?)
Throughout, I was hoping that an idea would percolate in the back of my head for this cocktail contest I wanted to enter (deadline: oh, about 89 minutes from this very moment): PAMA's Best Home Bar Star. Just as it sounds, submitted recipes must include PAMA pomegranate liqueur, and the contest's only open to amateur, at-home mixologists.
And yet, no inspiration was striking. Like, none. Feh-bruary really lived up to its name-I-just-made-up and I wasn't coming up with any sort of hook to hang this drink on. So what I did was, I went to the supermarket, hoping that browsing the aisles would somehow reveal a perfect, secret ingredient to me. In the juice aisle, I found my muse.
Did you know that the French word for pomegrante is grenade? And just like a grenade, BOOM -- cocktail framework smacks me upside the head. French ingredients, something that really goes pow on the palate. Voila.
The Grenade Launch
1 ounce Bulldog Gin
3/4 ounce PAMA
1/2 ounce St.-Germain
1/2 ounce Lillet
1 dash yellow Chartreuse
1 dash orange blossom water
1/2 ounce freshly squeezed lime juice
Combine all ingredients in an ice-filled cocktail shaker. Shake vigorously and strain into cocktail glass.

CSB launches Community Kitchen Program
The statistics are staggering
November 26, 2013
By Diane Hageman
The statistics are staggering.
The USDA reports that 1 in 10 Minnesota households are food insecure (lacking enough safe and nutritious food to meet their daily dietary needs). About 10.4 percent of Stearns County's population experiences food insecurity. This means that nearly 640 people in St. Joseph, Minn., are food insecure, according to Feeding America, the nation's leading domestic hunger-relief charity.
Through the leadership of alumna Natalie Keane '13, CSB is working to help change that in a small yet significant way.
Keane, who returned to campus in August, is establishing the Community Kitchen program with a primary goal of distributing high-quality, nutritious food in a dignified manner to those experiencing food insecurity. Her role as an AmeriCorps Volunteer in Service to America (VISTA) has been made possible through a grant from the Initiative Foundation and the College of Saint Benedict and Saint John's University's Office of Experiential Learning and Community Engagement (ELCE).
She spent the first couple of months in her position researching other programs and meeting with on-campus resources to develop the program.
A unique model
"Augsburg and Minnesota State University, Mankato have 'Campus Kitchen' programs which follow a national model," Keane said. "CSB's program is unique in that we see our program as a strategy, rather than a service, to mobilize campus and community members and collaborate with other organizations to be agents of systemic, long-term change."
Together with CSB Culinary Services, CSB/SJU Nutrition Department, CSB Campus Ministry and CSB Office of Sustainability and ELCE, Keane has developed a process for providing the surplus food from the Gorecki Center to non-profit programs in the central Minnesota area. It is estimated that up to 85 meals per week can be offered to community organizations and will also help to reduce food waste at CSB.
CSB senior Andee Holdener, a management major from Salt Lake City, Utah, has played a key role as volunteer coordinator, organizing close to 100 CSB and SJU students interested in assisting with the program.
In late October, they began providing meals congregate (group)-style to the women's youth program aimed at Latina girls, ages 10-18 offered through Casa Guadalupe Multicultural Community, a nonprofit organization based in Cold Spring, Minn. to meet the social service needs of the Latino community in the area. They also did two deliveries of pre-packaged meals and pizza ingredients to parents taking the "Simply Good Cooking" class through ReachUp/Head Start in St. Cloud, Minn. There are plans to more additional non-profit partners in the future.
The meals are nutritious and tasty and range from Mediterranean chicken, fettuccini Alfredo and Brussels sprouts to tator tot hot dish, tomato soup and green beans. In the first month of the program, they delivered 168 meals.
Student reaction
On a recent Tuesday afternoon, Keane, along with Jackie Kemnic, a CSB sophomore nutrition major from Rosemount, Minn., busily prepared the food to be transported from CSB to Cold Spring. Keane has received ServSafe® Certification as a food protection manager, a crucial step in the process that ensures safe food handling practices are followed. Kemnic assisted with reheating the food to the proper temperature and placed it in thermo containers. "We make sure our operations leaders and volunteers follow safe food handling practices," Keane explained.
Keane and Kemnic were soon joined by Christina Rommelfanger, a CSB sophomore English major from Omaha, Neb., and Ho Pan Yeung, a SJU senior accounting major from Hong Kong. Together, the three students and Keane hauled the containers to a mini-bus for the ride to Cold Spring.
All three students expressed their concern for and interest in helping to combat hunger.
Kemnic, who was being trained as a Community Kitchen operations leader, plans to volunteer every other week. "Hunger is obviously a big issue world-wide and in our own communities. I have a strong passion to try to help stop it," she said.
Rommelfanger saw it as a great opportunity to get more involved with the community. Yeung wanted to learn about ways that the United States tries to combat hunger as compared to Hong Kong.
Upon arrival at the women's youth program site, the students and Keane unpacked the food and prepared to serve the 10 Latina girls in attendance that day. Once everyone was served, the students joined the girls in the meal and enjoyed the opportunity to connect and learn about their lives.
Nonprofit values connections
"This is such a great partnership, one that I really value," said Mayuli Bales, executive director of Casa Guadalupe Multicultural Community. "With our women's youth group, we want to empower the girls and help to build their self-esteem and personal identity.
"The long-term goal is for the girls to think about going to college and having Saint Ben's, a women's college, so close by is very beneficial. By having meals together, it provides an opportunity to build relationships with the college students."
"They serve the meals with open hearts and want to connect with these girls," Bales added. "I am so grateful to work with Bennies and Johnnies. The number of hours they volunteer for this and other Casa Guadalupe programs is amazing."

How to
Use the Activities
Inquiry Question
Activity 1: Averting a Disaster
Then have the students, individually or in small groups, choose a single one of these sites, events, or issues to research and prepare a report for presentation to the class. This report should include location (absolute and relative); the places that would be involved in the eventthose places with human habitation or which have been modified by human activity; and human-environmental interactions related to the site, event, or issue. Students should conclude their reports by describing a step-by-step action plan for averting or mitigating the disaster. If the reports are of high quality, you may wish the class to vote on the most realistic and effective report and then invite appropriate local and regional authorities to visit the class to discuss the action plans.
Activity 2: Investigating the Community

Fight, climb, and race your way through a uniquely stylized version of Nazi-occupied France, and hunt down your sworn enemies who have taken everything from you. Enter the seedy underground world of a saboteur living in 1940s Paris, where the women are sexy, the missions are epic, and the revenge is satisfying.
Play as Sean Devlin, a street-tough Irish racing mechanic seeking personal redemption in the first open-world action game set in Nazi-occupied Europe. Now, it's time for payback—with the help of the French Resistance, British intelligence, an arsenal of weaponry, and your own street smarts and brawn, you must exact revenge on those who aimed to destroy your life. Motivated by retribution and armed with tactics of sabotage, blow up zeppelins, derail trains, implode bridges, destroy armored tanks, and level enemy facilities in the name of vengeance.
In "Saboteur," players take on the Third Reich in a fully interactive, open world with both story-driven missions and side quests using an arsenal of weapons and abilities that allow quiet movement and lethal efficiency. Any weapon, costume, or item can be manipulated – including military and civilian vehicles. Players can also scale buildings and move unseen across rooftops, or eliminate guards with a range of authentic weapons (or sometimes with bare hands).
One of the game's most unique aspects is the introduction of the revolutionary "Will to Fight." Areas under strict Nazi oppression appear in stark black and white noir style. Here players must behave cautiously to avoid suspicion. Successful acts of sabotage, however, light the same areas with bright, vibrant color, encouraging citizens to act defiantly. By indicating progress with real-time environmental changes, "Will to Fight" offers players a dynamic measure of personal accomplishment.
Key Features
