It is a big step to make the decision to lease a vehicle. If you decide to lease a luxury vehicle, you know that you are about to have your life changed. Think about the benefits of leasing a vehicle before deciding if you would like to lease one. Then, think about the type of vehicle you would like to lease.
Lease to Learn What You Like:
You are not completely sure what you would like to be driving. You know that different cars have different features to offer and you haven't quite figured out what type of car you would like to drive. You know that you want to be in a luxury vehicle but you are not ready to commit to one type of luxury vehicle over all of the others. You can lease a vehicle to get to know a vehicle. You can lease a vehicle so that you can try that vehicle out without actually committing to it or making the decision to drive it for the next decade.
Lease to Spend Less Money Right Now:
You might not have a lot of money sitting around right now. You could get a loan to purchase a vehicle or you could go out and set up a lease so that you have something to drive right now. If you are not prepared to spend thousands on a vehicle right now and you do not want to get in debt, you can lease a vehicle. If you would like to watch over your money by being careful with the purchases that you make, leasing a luxury vehicle might be a good option for you.
Lease to Drive the Latest Model:
You might be nervous about committing to purchase a vehicle because you know that the vehicle will get old right away and that new versions of it will come out and tempt you. If you want to always drive the most current vehicle, it might be a smart decision for you to lease the vehicle that you drive. When you head to a dealer and set up a plan for leasing a vehicle, you can make sure that it will work out for you to get the newer model of that vehicle as soon as it comes out.
Go Through the Right Dealer When Leasing:
When looking for a Lexus for lease new york ny, find a dealership that will put you into the model that you want to drive. Look for a dealer that will help you fill out all of the necessary paperwork. Make sure that you know what you should do if you have issues with the vehicle while you are driving it. Find a dealership that makes it simple to lease through them.
You May Find Leasing a Vehicle to be the Perfect Decision for You:
There are many situations where leasing a vehicle makes sense. You should find a fun luxury vehicle to lease and try out. Look for something that will help you feel confident.

Have you ever wished that you could put your career on hold to travel or volunteer, just like some high school or college graduates do before setting foot on campus or accepting their first job?
While taking a gap year is more common for teens and 20-somethings , some people are finding a variety of ways to do it in their 50s and 60s. Many of them say the experience is meaningful, even life-altering.
"The same basic reasons motivate a later-in-life gapper as motivate a younger one," says Ethan Knight, executive director of the Gap Year Association , a nonprofit based in Portland, Ore. "Burnout, a desire to know more about oneself and a desire to know more about the outside world and its peoples."
Gap year or gap time?
Once you're older, though, it can be difficult to take a 12-month break. So, the phrase "gap year" is often a misnomer at that stage in life.
"It really should be called 'gap time,'" says Holly Bull, president of the Center for Interim Programs in Princeton, N.J., America's oldest independent gap-year counseling organization. "The value derived from this exploring, short or long, is invariably high: Rest, a sense of renewed excitement about life, being away from home and the familiar, meeting new people, being a traveler rather than tourist, engaging in something substantive with a sense of purpose." (The Center for Interim Programs is mostly for young adults but, its website says, also counsels "mid- and post-career adults.")
Your 50s or 60s may be ideal for gap time if you have children who've grown or you're in a comfortable place professionally and you have the financial flexibility for a break.
4 ways to take gap time in midlife
Here are four ways to do it:
Voluntourism time. You'll serve others while learning to adapt to unfamiliar situations and surroundings around the world. Doing so can help you grow spiritually and expand your sense of self.
"Part of a great gap year is about cultivating resilience and not letting yourself fall asleep at the proverbial wheel of life," Knight says.
Janet Lipsi, 61, a decorative painter in Telford, Pa., arranged her gap time through Interim, volunteering at a children's center in South Africa for two months and then traveling for a week in Africa before returning home. At the center, she provided home schooling, changed diapers, comforted crying children and led outings.
Lipsi had thought about taking gap time for years before doing it.
"This idea was taking on a now-or-never quality — I was in reasonably good health, but I was well aware that I wasn't getting any younger," Lipsi says. "I wanted to go where I was needed. I have experience working with children, and the need [there] was compelling."
Peace Corps time. There's no upper age limit to join The Peace Corps (the federal government's service opportunity in communities abroad created by the Kennedy administration). These days, about 4% of Peace Corps volunteers are 50+.
Read: These volunteer jobs are good for your health
Most Peace Corps assignments require a 27-month commitment, although some for experienced individuals last three to 12 months.
"Many of our volunteers report feeling like they've done something meaningful and stretched themselves beyond what they thought was possible," says Peace Corps spokesperson Brandalyn Bickner. "They prove to themselves that learning and serving can be a lifelong journey."

J. Pierpont Morgan
- President, J.P. Morgan and Co., 1893–1913
- Born: April 17, 1837
- Died: March 31, 1913
John Pierpont Morgan, an iconic figure in American finance, was born April 17, 1837, in Hartford, Connecticut. Both of his parents' families had arrived in the colonies before the American Revolution. His mother, Juliet, was the daughter of a reverend in Boston, Massachusetts. His father, Junius, was a successful merchant and banker.
Morgan began his Wall Street career at age twenty as an unpaid clerk at Duncan, Sherman, & Co., an investment bank with close ties to his father's firm, Peabody & Co. In 1871, he partnered with Anthony Drexel, a banker from Philadelphia, to found Drexel, Morgan, and Co. Over several decades, Drexel and Morgan built one of the most powerful investment banks in the world. After Anthony Drexel died, in 1893, the firm was renamed J.P. Morgan and Co.
Drexel, Morgan & Co. was especially involved in the railroad industry and helped finance the completion of the Northern Pacific Railroad. The firm specialized in reorganizing troubled industries, buying up competing companies and combining their resources in a single corporation in a practice that came to be known as "Morganization." The Northern Pacific, Erie, and Reading railroads, among others, all were Morganized. Toward the end of the nineteenth century, Morgan turned his attention to other industries and led the consolidations that resulted in General Electric and US Steel.
In an era that lacked a central bank, Morgan sometimes served as a de facto "lender of last resort." In 1893, the country experienced a panic sparked by a series of railroad failures and a run on gold. Two years later, with the economy still struggling and gold reserves dwindling, Morgan organized an international syndicate of bankers to buy gold and sell it to the US government in exchange for US government bonds. During the Panic of 1907, Morgan assembled a group of bankers to provide a $10 million loan to the Trust Company of America, as well as loans to other troubled institutions and $35 million in loans to the New York Stock Exchange, quelling the panic. (The Treasury provided an additional $25 million, and John D. Rockefeller an additional $10 million.)
Morgan had close ties to Sen. Nelson Aldrich, who chaired the National Monetary Commission, which was formed to study reforms to the financial system after the Panic of 1907. He helped set up meetings for Aldrich and other commission members with bankers in Europe, and he is likely the person who arranged for Aldrich to use the Jekyll Island Club in Georgia to host a secret meeting in 1910.
Many politicians and members of the public were suspicious of Morgan's influence over the financial system, and in 1912, he was called before the Pujo Committee, a congressional committee investigating the "despotic and perilous" power of a small group of financiers. Morgan's Northern Securities Corporation was also the first target of Theodore Roosevelt's trust busting, in 1902.Morgan was an avid collector of art, gems, and books, and he was a major benefactor of several museums. He died while traveling in Rome on March 31, 1913, and was survived by his second wife, Frances (Fanny), and four children. (His first wife, Amelia, died just four months after their marriage.) His son, J.P. (Jack) Morgan, Jr., took over J.P. Morgan & Co. and continued the firm's dominance into the twentieth century.

Growth Aspects of PCD Pharma Franchise in Nagaland
Compared to other northeastern states, Nagaland is paying very badly for the primary use of health services. The survey emphasizes the dismal state of maternal and child health care. It has the lowest proportion of pregnant women (25 %) in the first trimester of pregnancy who received antenatal care.
- Nagaland by 10 percentage points on this indicator. A Northeastern ranking on key indicators of maternal and child health and health care often puts Nagaland at the bottom of the list. In the case of institutional delivery and full immunization coverage, Nagaland is ranked the lowest among all Northeastern countries.
- Similarly, Nagaland also remained the lowest. One of the major concerns in enabling the rapid expansion of health infrastructure is Nagaland's hilly terrain, and there is a high need for medication. This is reflected in these two basic indicators of maternal and child health in terms of wide inter-district variations.
- Corporate delivery coverage in the districts of Kohima and Dimapur is more than five times that of the districts of Long Leng and Mon. Likewise, Kohima's full immunization coverage is six times that of the most deprived district of Long Leng.

Is it someone's birthday?
Editor's blog
I found out something amazing. Did you know that it is the 70th birthday of the NHS today?! I know – they really kept that one quiet.
I kid, of course. It's not a massive surprise that there has been such a fuss made of the celebrations. The NHS holds a place in the national psyche - I can't recall too many Olympic opening ceremonies paying tribute to a public service like the London one did.
We've not been immune to that over at Pulse Towers. Indeed, our cover feature for the July issue is based on NHS 70 – though we fear we may be party poopers. We have analysed the funding settlements and come to the conclusion that GPs might not get the settlement they really need from Theresa May's promise of £20bn more a year for the NHS.
But it has also given us a chance to look at general practice over the past 70 years, at the characters that have helped improve the profession – and those that GPs haven't always seen eye-to-eye with.
We have looked back at a GP's typical week in 1948 – which is a real eye-opener - and have an interview with three generations of GPs.
It has also given our columnists the chance to reflect on general practice. Dr Shaba Nabi gives a wonderful speech – with a nod to Martin Luther King – while Dr Kailash Chand says what the NHS really needs as a birthday gift and we report on the NHS 70 march that took place over the weekend.
It is probably highly unlikely that we'll be seeing another 70 years of the NHS. But let's celebrate it while it is still with us.
Jaimie Kaffash is editor of Pulse. Follow him on Twitter @jkaffash or email him at firstname.lastname@example.com
Readers' comments (3)
From today until the Chancellor's next budget statement, it is crucial to develop the narrative(s) about what we think must happen for NHS and general practice to stay . There will be some spinning from this weakened government and it is up to us how to anti-spin. NHS has been politicised far beyond necessarily. The future of the country will also needed be to determined in the next three to four months as far as Brexit is concerned. Whichever way it goes , we must not let politicians bundle NHS with agendas eroding the virtues and values we believe(well, one always has a choice not to believe anymore ).
My argument stays such that if even a primarily anti-taxation political party has to succumb to the political reality of raising more tax to sustain a socialist health system , NHS will stay for a long time.

- Music: Kaitlin Payne singing & strumming
- Education: Marcia E. Herman on making herbal teas from ingredients in the garden
- Fresh this week: yellow squash, zuchinni, radishes, apples, beans, cucumbers, squash, tomatoes, peppers and more!
Local to a Tea
Naturally high in energy, I am still learning how to handle my coffee, so I mostly stick to less caffeinated teas, and in the evening, I prefer comforting herbal teas, also known as tisanes. My tea habit is currently supported by imports from halfway across the world, and comes with multiples layers of packaging, but it doesn't have to be this way. Good tea can be local, inexpensive and made by you.
A tea garden could be just a couple pots of herbs, or it could be several beds dedicated to an array of herbs and flowers. Chamomile and mint plants are easy to grow and make excellent bedtime teas. Other great additions to a tea garden include: lemon balm, lemon thyme and lavender. You can even grow ginger root in a pot in order to make a stomach soothing brew. For a natural sweetener, you can include stevia in your tea garden or purchase Bull City's golden clover honey.
Herb bundle from S&H Farm
Your homemade infusion can be made with fresh or dry herbs, but using fresh ingredients will lend extra flavor, aroma and health benefits to your beverage. Most herbs contain high concentrations of beneficial phytonutrients, and teas are an easy way to include more of them in your diet.
If you don't have the time for a tea garden, you can still make yourself a fresher cup of tea by purchasing local herbs through vendors at the South Durham Farmers' Market, like S&H Farm. This fall, S&H will continue to bring their herb bundles, and expects to have ginger root later in the season!
Tomorrow, Dr. Marcia E. Herman will be at the market to sample teas made from her own garden and share her in-depth knowledge of herbal tea-making. Her book, Sipping My Garden: A Simple Way to Make Herbal Teas, will be on sale at the market. We encourage you to come by at 10 o'clock for a special reading on teas for children from her book.
Farmer Foodshare Needs Volunteers!
We are proud to partner with Farmer Foodshare at the South Durham Farmers' Market. Through the generosity of supporters like you, Farmer Foodshare has collected and donated over 140,000 pounds of food from Farmers' Markets. Your donations provide healthy, quality food to the hungry and malnourished in seven North Carolina counties.
Donation Station at South Durham Farmers' Market
Currently, Farmer Foodshare is looking for volunteers to help man the Donation Station at the South Durham Farmers' Market. Please contact Katy Phillips at email@example.com for more information or to volunteer.

Michael Yon via Wizbang
"THE WAR IS OVER AND WE WON:" Michael Yon just phoned from Baghdad, and reports that things are much better than he had expected, and he had expected things to be good. "There's nothing going on. I'm with the 10th Mountain Division, and about half of the guys I'm with haven't fired their weapons on this tour and they've been here eight months. And the place we're at, South Baghdad, used to be one of the worst places in Iraq. And now there's nothing going on. I've been walking my feet off and haven't seen anything. I've been asking Iraqis, 'do you think the violence will kick up again,' but even the Iraqi journalists are sounding optimistic now and they're usually dour."
This is what victory looks like. A hard fought win that seemed unreachable in January 2007. A win that proves miracles do happen! Thanks to the unwavering strength and leadership of General Petraeus and the talented men and women in uniform who snatched victory from the jaws of defeat. No credit can be given to the CCPM, VFP or IVAW - this victory did not happen in their name, along with al-queda they also lost the battle of Iraq.

EMC introduced its scale-out ScaleIO Node virtual SAN a couple of weeks ago, with hybrid flash-disk and all-flash server chassises. It overlaps as a product with EMC-owned VMware's VSAN, and therefore EMC's EVO:RAIL implementation of that, and also competes with scale-out all-flash arrays.
Discussions with sources have clarified EMC's thinking on the topic, and showed that the overlap is less than originally thought.
ScaleIO and VSAN
Here's a chart to indicate our understanding of how EMC's thinking is developing, with a two-axis space delineated by frequency of occurrence in the market (low to high) and customer complexity (low to high).
Two curves show the relative positioning of VSAN and ScaleIO. Remote and branch offices (ROBO), hyper-converged infrastructure appliance (HCIA), small/medium enterprises (SMB), and small enterprise see the most need for VSAN. Enterprises see a need for both, with ScaleIO meeting more complex needs than VSAN, or non-vSphere hypervisor needs.
Our whiteboard chart of ScaleIO and VSAN market sweet spot differences
The largest use cases for ScaleIO are enterprise data centers and service providers.
ScaleIO doesn't sing out SMB because it doesn't really fly unless you have 10 nodes and up. VSAN isn't winning in giant service providers because it can't scale so high and it's designed for simpler use cases.
VSAN and ScaleIO come from different architectural design centers, with VSAN needing to be transactional and dealing with an object, a virtual machine. Locality is important, with a VM and its data kept on the same host and mirroring for two copies, meaning reads can be done in parallel in aggregate.
ScaleIO deals with volumes and LUNs with data carved into 1MB slices and shotgunned onto two nodes, with the next chunk going onto two more nodes. The write throughput is the aggregate of all hosts. The read bandwidth is the bandwidth of all the nodes in the ScaleIO cluster.
ScaleIO and SolidFire
How does ScaleIO compare to SolidFire? There's a lot of respect inside EMC for Dave Wright, SolidFire's CEO. He's seen as a great engineering CEO who has created great leadership culture.
SolidFire has a flash-optimized and service provider-optimized storage stack; ScaleIO not so much, so it can be used in both capacity-dense and performance-centric workloads.
ScaleIO doesn't have particularly strong write avoidance in its code stack. It often gets deployed in a service providers' use case for hybrid or disk.
The scaling sweet spots of ScaleIO and SolidFire are different. With ScaleIO it's very easy to scale to 1,000s of nodes, even to infinity and beyond, as one person said. SolidFire can't scale the same way.
SolidFire nailed quality of service (QoS) and the API model for service providers, but ScaleIO has more flexibility in how it can be used and may even have greater performance.
Startup culture
It seems to us here in El Reg that EMC has internal startups in the Emerging Technologies division inside EMC II (Information Infrastructure) with XtremIO, DSSD, and ScaleIO being the obvious ones. These all overlap, at least to a degree, and also overlap with VMware's VSAN initiative and VCE's VSPEX Blue.
Isn't this chaotic and wasteful?
Overlap inside a company's product ranges is not new. Think of NetApp with its all-flash FAS and all-flash EF series of arrays. The design centers and marketing sweet spots are different.
We can find similar overlapping product examples inside, for example, IBM, Dell, or virtually any other mainstream supplier. Startups are characteristically single-trick ponies with no overlap. Lucky for them. Startups are front and center of many people's view of the storage market today, and inform our assumptions.
But the normal way of things in mature companies, meaning the suppliers supplying the bulk of storage products today, is to have some overlap. EMC, seeing the way the storage and server markets and needs are developing, is more aggressively developing products for younger market niches than others.
Until those niches are fully formed and their needs widely understood, the amount of product overlap between neighboring niches can stand out. It is a temporary thing, hopefully, and will enable EMC, and other suppliers like Cisco who have this development characteristic, to have product ready to sell and deliver when the niche matures and has attracted its own set of dedicated startups. ®

My husband and I love to entertain guests. While house hunting, we looked at every potential home and envisioned ourselves entertaining our friends and family. We enjoy hosting fun events for our guests and especially love a themed party!
While it's true that most people enjoy attending a good party, it's also true that parties can become boring and lack excitement. After a while, they can all start to feel the same. The goal of any small gathering is usually a celebration: a birthday, graduation, the newly engaged couple, the anticipated arrival of a little one, an anniversary, a retirement. Within that, the party should be an event that guests enjoy attending. If you're looking for creative ways to make your party stand out, here are 4 ways to spice up your next adult party:
1. Create a Signature Cocktail
A signature cocktail is a fun ice-breaker for any event. Even if you're just having a few people over for a quiet dinner party, get on Pinterest and find a cocktail recipe that compliments the food you're serving.
The best signature party cocktails are the ones that aren't too complex, too sweet or too strong and make for perfect pre-dinner and post-dinner drinks. They should go down easy, shouldn't be too adventurous and should be elegant in their simplicity.
Now it is time to really tap into your creative side. There are countless party themes and many great ways to make your drink menu fit, but you'll have to use some imagination. When you have a special theme to work with, you have endless possibilities.
2. Hire a Tarot Card Reader
Hiring a Tarot card readers for parties is a great way for friends to talk about themselves. This activity would be perfect for a girls night or a bachelorette party!
Tarot is not intended to answer specific yes or no questions. Most say it also shouldn't be used to make decisions, but instead should be used as a guide to help you make the decision yourself. For this reason, the way a question is stated is very important.
All you have to do as the host is to invite your guests to your party, you will need to provide a separate room away from the party, where people can have their cards read. This is usually done in the dining room or kitchen. Tarot card readings are a popular night in!
3. Throw a Backyard Beer Bash
My husband and I are BIG beer drinkers so this idea speaks to me on a visceral level. I can feel the wheels of my brain turning with lots of ideas surrounding this theme!
Complete with beer pong, a Beer Tasting Activity, and lots of pub-style snacks. Since this theme is pretty casual, decorate with craft paper, clear bowls and scoops, and lots of beer-themed decors.
One of the reasons beer tasting parties have become so popular is because they are fun, relaxing and can be held virtually anywhere! Selecting the perfect venue is the first step toward beer tasting party success. You will want to consider the number of guests and narrow your venue options to those that will accommodate your party comfortably; consider logistics and appropriateness of the venue, and factor in cost if you're budget-conscious.
Don't forget the Root BEER Floats!!!
4. Host a Murder Mystery Party
With Halloween being just 10 days away, this would be a great theme for an adult Halloween party! If you're unfamiliar with how a murder mystery works, here's a little run down. Spoiler alert: someone's gonna die. It'll be up to you and your guests to crack the case and figure out who had the motivation to commit the crime!
You don't have to be a true crime fanatic to enjoy a murder mystery parry. They are a guaranteed hit with any group of people. The trick is to choose the right theme for your type of guests and host it at the perfect venue. Consider who your guests are when creating the story line. If you all have something in common, use that as a theme throughout the story. There's no need to be elaborate to have a good time. These parties are super easy to host.
Well, there you have it folks. Those are my four quick ideas to spice up your next adult party. Let me know if you've tried any of these things or if you have more ideas of things to do!
Until next time!

"As a startup, you can feel that you are at risk every day." – Founder of Fox & Sheep, Verena Pausder
Fox & Sheep founder Verena Pausder gave Silicon Allee the opportunity to catch a glimpse into her exciting role in developing child-oriented apps, fostering platforms for teens to dive into the world of entrepreneurship, and empowering and connecting women founding tech companies in Berlin. From her days as an online browser game developer to breaking into the mobile app scene with full force, Verena Pausder has plenty of insight to offer those trying to crack through.
So, you cater to kids, how would you pitch Fox & Sheep in a simple way?
That's easy, we make apps for kids, worldwide in sixteen languages and we do digital labs where we teach kids coding, animation, and robotics.
When was Fox & Sheep founded?
Who started the company and are they still around?
Myself and Mortiz Hohl, but he left the company three years ago. So, it's just myself now.
What was the inspiration to start a kid-oriented company?
The origin was when the iPad came out. Initially, I don't think it was for kids, but it didn't have a mouse or a keyboard so it was like a seamless user experience for the first time. Since previous online browser games that I worked on always had passwords, keyboard necessities, and security, the iPad suddenly made it so these weren't issues anymore. So, I don't think it's made for kids, but it's suitable for kids especially small kids. For the first time, it was a child's device, but without kids content. So, we thought why not try and make content for kids because parents are more than likely to give their devices to their kids. Also, content always comes from America and China to Europe and we wondered why can't it be the other way around? That was the initial kickoff.
Gaming is a competitive space. Who is your competition and why are you better?
It's got less competitive over the years because it is a market which is competing worldwide so it's not like it's us against others in Germany and in the USA. It's not app developers against each other; we are all competing on the same battlefield because we ship our apps in sixteen languages so our big markets are the USA, China, Japan, Russia, and Brazil. So, the consolidation has gone pretty quickly. You can't survive if you don't have a portfolio of apps; a few years ago you could have one app and be successful with it. Now you need a lineup so you can cross promote one user from one app to the next. Also, you need a brand name because there are so many apps every week in the app store to a point where the user loses orientation. So, he needs to know that's Fox & Sheep and he remembers, "I've already got an app with Fox & Sheep and I trust them and I trust the app so I will download the next."
We still have two to three competitors here in Germany; it used to be far more. We have maybe twenty globally. We are lucky that we were early; we were one of the first. Then, we had a huge hit with one of our apps called Nighty Night which gave us a lot of cash flow to do more. We then did an app with Christoph Niemann who is an international illustrator star and he lives right around the corner. Since he lived right in the neighborhood and we saw his app in the App Store, we wrote to him telling him that he had an amazing app and we asked him out for coffee. So, we met and decided to do more apps together. If he would have been somewhere else, we probably wouldn't have met and the app wouldn't have happened, so I think we had a bit of luck and lucky moments along the way coupled with very early success.
Do you have any advice for new entrepreneurs in Berlin?
Really make use of the network and of the people around here before you start. That doesn't mean checking your idea with everyone while running around, but there's so many startups, so many good ideas, and so many good people, so it really has to be brilliant what you startup now. It can't just be because you're bored or because you think it's a great lifestyle. By talking with others and telling them your idea, they will point you to the right people and say, "Wait a moment, I think I've heard that idea before. You should talk to Peter." Then Peter says, "No way, I'm doing something entirely different, but Thomas is doing something the same." And then if you've been passed around and everyone says, "No, that sounds like a great idea," then go. But, I feel like the time is over where everyone can found anything; it's too mature now. So, we need more mature ideas.
If I am founding in Germany, I would always found here because the network effect that you have here is just so quick. Berlin is a city that hasn't quite finished like many other cities that are successful in the tech sector like London. Tel Aviv is another example, but they will never be finished evolving because they are always at risk. But, Tel Aviv and Berlin offer people the space to be imperfect, to make mistakes. If you go to London, everything is so expensive, everything is so mature to the point where you can't be imperfect in any way, so I always feel that these cities that are finding their own purpose make it much easier for people to start.
Has there been a group, individual or project that has had the most influence on you during your time as an entrepreneur in Berlin?
The Entrepreneurs' Organization was important for me for a time. I haven't been a part of it for the last three years, so it was more to start me up. I wasn't too sure about every part of our business yet. I needed feedback, I needed to know how to communicate with employees. A lot of topics came up. They were a good organization in that time. They still exist and they are huge in Berlin. They are also called EO and it has eighteen chapters with twelve people per chapter and they meet on a formal basis and they give feedback on all aspects of life. It's been around for nearly twenty years and it has been in Berlin for nearly ten years. It's international; we have it in every city.
You've been in the scene for a while now, have there been other projects you've worked on along the way?
In 2013, I founded a network called Ladies Dinner where the initial thought was to gather female founders in tech because there aren't that many. The ideas were rather than to say, "Eh. We are not that many and why can't there be more of us? Who can help?" to just meet and to grow within. There were eighteen of us when we started and now there's approximately seventy on the list. We meet every three or four months for dinner in a different restaurant. It's completely sponsored by other companies and we use the evening to do business, to get better, to share the ideas for how to practice the best, to extend the network, and to rely on each other. It's not like, "let's talk about our kids" and have a great evening, it's more helping each other out in the business sector. I once got an email from one of the ladies pointing me towards a journalist which was more suitable for me than for her for example. We use this network to bring others to the light.
Also, one must think beyond just creating their own business and they should think on how they can contribute to the ecosystem. Ladies Dinner was one, but we also started Startup Teens back in 2015. With Startup Teens, we want to spark the interest of entrepreneurship for teens between the ages of 14 and 19. Germany's far behind on that. Now that we have such a lively startup scene, why not take all that know how and networking and make it available to the students so they will be more likely to found a company themselves one day?
Can you think of one particular moment that has been pivotal during your entrepreneurial career?
We sold the company to a strategic investor in 2014, but I stayed on board. I sold some of my shares, but I still have some so I still have 11% and they have 89%. That was the moment when Moritz left and I was suddenly a single founder, not a co-founder anymore. We were suddenly owned by a strategic game manufacturer HABA. So, I thought many things would change and I hoped they wouldn't because I always wanted to stay the entrepreneur that I always was. I still had so many ideas for this business and I didn't want to stay until I got my payout and then say, "I've done it. Bye." But you don't know how it works out and I think that was the moment where you grow up; you have to be more of a manager, but you still have to keep your entrepreneurial roots because a company like this doesn't work by managing it. You can say that you make apps and that's fine, but you constantly have to adapt to what's happening. There are so many new things so you have to stay on top of them all. So, this was an emotionally important moment. Questions like, "Would I manage the transition? Would I stay an entrepreneur? Would they let me?" arose. It all turned out pretty well, so that was good.
The pivotal business moment was in 2011 where Moritz and I were running a company which dealt with online browser games. You could see the market declining. Mobile was on the rise, but it wasn't quite there yet. So it wasn't like a direct transition to mobile games on the rise, causing online browser games to go down. We just decided to take what we were doing for the online browser games and focus our energy on the mobile sector. We retrained on the job, pivoting the company from a web-focused one to a mobile company. That was the toughest business moment because it was more than jumping into the next blue ocean because it wasn't really there yet, but you knew you had to jump.
As a startup, you can feel that you are at risk every day.
Do you have a favorite spot in the neighborhood?
I have so many. I really like Röststätte on Ackerstraße; they have really great coffee. I also love Dudu; I like stopping there for lunch, they are on Torstraße. I also love DALUMA on Weinbergsweg. They are probably my favorite three spots in this area.
Has Berlin's informal nature and unique history – urban fabric, city divide, demographic, etc. – been a positive aspect of your time in the city?
Absolutely, because I think it's a great source of inspiration if you walk past buildings or construction sites and you feel like everyone is building up something. It gives you the feeling that everyone is starting up so I might as well join. You don't feel crazy starting your own company and you don't have lots of doubts and fears. That's what the city gives you, and the history is important for me because it doesn't feel artificial. You have the feeling that people you meet who lived through this history have a huge depth in them. It's not how I imagine Singapore where you have a lovely office and a lovely idea, but you will never get into the city because there's not so much to explore; it ends at a point. But here you always find the next nightclub, bar, building, or gallery where you think "oh, crazy". The years of inspiration never end. It's the first city I've lived in that after six years I didn´t want to leave. It's more like, "Here's to the next six years!"
Cheers to that! So, then where do you see Berlin in the next 6 years?
I don't think it will be that much different in our ecosystem than it is right now. It will mature a little more, more money will flow into the city in terms of venture capital, companies will get bigger, but I don't think it will be a different city in five or six years. Maybe some construction sites have finalized, such as we might have an airport, but I think it will still have the spirit that it has now. The past five years were much more drastic than what the next five years will be.

- When a major change is implemented in your organization, things can absolutely blow up in your face. Just ask the TSA. And "major" is relative to the group you are implementing the change upon. The best way to avoid this from occurring is by moving forward with courage, communication, and transparency. Michael Hyatt gives advice on six things you must do well when implementing a major change.
- Speaking of the TSA, have you seen their new logo?
- We encounter a lot of pessimism when it comes to the future of our planet these days. Too much cooling/warming/climate change is happening. Too many resources are being consumed. Too many people are being born. Brendan O'neill over at Spiked says we should fight for an optimistic view and reminds us that, historically speaking, our world is never as finite as the pessimists claim it to be.
- I am petitioning to reinstate whatever practices led to monuments like this one.
- I know more than a couple of people who should hope never to get an arrest warrant if they take this practice nation-wide.
- I want to prove that everyone who is posting to my blog is a human being and not a spam bot. What do you think of a security measure like this to ensure that? Be honest, I really value your opinions.

First an update: Ania will be released tomorrow, but sweet Lillie will be staying in the NICU for up to 2 weeks depending on what the infection does. Both Ania and her DH are, understandably, very saddened to be leaving their sweet girl behind. But, Ania reported that a friend, who doesn't know about St. Therese or the request for prayers for her intercession, sent her pink roses. As we know, St. Therese always sends roses when she is interceding, so Ania is encouraged by that.
Second, I will be beginning this novena today: Little Flower Novena for Lillie's health and healing and going home soon, and Ania and her DH to have peace in their hearts as they head home and leave their sweet daughter in the NICU. If you would like to join me, please do!
Finally, Ania said the prayers mean the world to her.
(As before, please keep all encouraging comments and prayer promises here on my blog and not on Ania's blog or FB page.)

Way Back When ... 1943
As Veterans Day approaches, we take a look back at one of the war-time posters from World War II.
Urging Americans to unite to meet the challenges of wartime, the U.S. government issued posters to rally support for the war. Among the most recognized posters were those from Norman Rockwell's series illustrating the "Four Freedoms," outlined by President Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1941. Those freedoms were freedom of speech, freedom of worship, freedom from want and freedom from fear. Those four fundamental freedoms defined the values central to American life and explained the ideals behind the country's war aims.
Although the government initially rejected Rockwell's images, explaining they sought the work of "real artists" rather than illustrators, Rockwell's finished paintings eventually appeared in four consecutive issues of the Saturday Evening Post in 1943 and went on to become some of the most widely-reproduced images of the era, adopted by the U.S. Treasury as the centerpiece of a massive drive for war bonds.
On Nov. 12, the Fairfield Museum (370 Beach Road) will commemorate Veterans Day with free Family Focus activities from 10:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. Families can learn about some of the hometown heroes who have served the community and country, view historic uniforms from the museum's collections, enjoy a scavenger hunt, and create a craft. Families will also be able to write letters to the troops, in care of Operation Gratitude. In addition, the museum is also collection donations for Homes for the Brave, a local nonprofit that provides housing and services to individuals experiencing homelessness, especially veterans. Family Focus days are generously sponsored by People's United Bank.
About the Fairfield Museum & History Center
The Fairfield Museum & History Center and Museum Shop, located at 370 Beach Road, is open seven days a week, 10am-4pm. Members of the Museum and children under 5 are admitted free. For more information, call 203-259-1598 or visit Fairfieldhistory.org.
More Information
The year Normal Rockwell's paintings eventually appeared in four consecutive issues of the Saturday Evening Post.

This was a great book, especially as it involved racing cars, which I absolutely love!
My favourite scenes are in the space race when Jack helped alot of the aliens fix there cars as he is a mechanic. My favourite race car was the big monster truck with 12 wheels and I especially liked the alien that was driving it, who was a big green 5 eyed monster.
I rate this book 10/10, I loved this book as it had great illustrations of weird cars and it also comes with a racing car cardboard model which you can act out the adventure with.
