Until the late 1990s, Africa was a terror-free zone. Terror raged in various places throughout the world, but the African continent was unfamiliar with this phenomenon. The situation changed in 1998 after large-scale simultaneous terrorist attacks in Kenya and Tanzania, when the U.S. embassies in both Nairobi and Dar es Salaam were attacked. The embassy buildings were destroyed, over two hundred people were killed, and over four thousand were injured. (1) Out of these, only twelve were Americans.
Today Africa has become the main arena for international terrorism. Currently, dozens of large international terrorist organizations are active there: Al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb, the Movement for Oneness and Jihad and Ansar Dine in the Sahel region; Jama'atu Ahlis Sunna Lidda'awati wal-Jihad (Boko Haram) in Nigeria; Harakat Al-Shabaab Al Mujahideen in Somalia; Al-Gama'a al-Islamiyya in Egypt; the Lord's Resistance Army in Uganda; pirate terrorism in the Gulfs of Aden and Guinea… Today the African continent is firmly in the grip of an entire network of terrorist organizations.
Al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb (AQIM) is an Islamist organization which aims to overthrow the Algerian government and establish an Islamic state. The organization's members are mainly Algerians, Tuaregs and Moroccans. AQIM was the main force behind the seizure of northern Mali and an attack on Bamako in January 2013. AQIM first announced its creation in January 2007, when it emerged from the Salafist Group for Preaching and Combat. As a result of its illegal activities, international organizations (the UN and the EU) and several countries (the U.S., Great Britain, France and Spain) have added it to their lists of terrorist organizations. AQIM's main goals are spreading the ideology of global jihad and uniting all the extremist groups of North Africa to overthrow existing regimes and establish Islamic states. AQIM's fighters organize and carry out armed attacks and terrorist acts against authorities and government agencies, energy infrastructure sites, and representatives of national and foreign companies. AQIM's activities have affected Russia as well. For example, in March 2007 in the Algerian province of Ain Defla, a Russian citizen and three local residents were killed when AQIM blew up a bus belonging to the Russian company Stroytransgaz. In December 2007 in the province of Medea, another vehicle in which Russian specialists were traveling was blown up.
Al-Gama'a al-Islamiyya (GI) is an Egyptian Sunnite Islamist movement which aims to overthrow the Egyptian government and create an Islamic state. Over the course of five years, around 800 police and military personnel have become the victims of GI fighters. After the so-called «revolution» of 2011, GI was transformed into a political party which received 13 seats in the country's parliament. In Russia, Al-Gama'a al-Islamiyya is officially deemed a terrorist organization.
Harakat Al-Shabaab Al Mujahideen, better known as Al-Shabaab, is a Somali militant group which controls a significant territory in southern Somalia. A strict form of sharia law is enforced on this territory. Al-Shabaab's official goal is jihad against the «enemies of Islam». However, in reality the organization is fighting with African Union troops in Somalia.
Jama'atu Ahlis Sunna Lidda'awati wal-Jihad, better known by its Hausa name Boko Haram (BH), officially protests secular laws and the «westernization» of society. BH was created in 1991 and aims to establish sharia law throughout the territory of Nigeria. However, there are serious reasons to believe that the official aims are not BH's main goal. For example, in northern Nigeria, where the main part of BH is based, sharia law has long been the official law of the states, although it only applies to Muslims. Trying to apply sharia law to Christians is pure terrorism and has no relation to Islam. The sultan of Sokoto State, Sa'adu Abubakar, who is the spiritual leader of Nigeria's Muslims, has called BH an «anti-Islamic sect» and a «disgrace to Islam». According to some figures, around ten thousand people have fallen victim to BH since 2001. In addition to Christians, who are the main victims of BH's terror, they kill Muslims as well, including clergymen who dare to criticize the sect.
The list of organizations recognized by the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation as terrorist organizations contains several based in Africa. These are mostly Egyptian organizations: Holy War (al-Jihad or Egyptian Islamic Jihad), the Islamic Group (al-Gama'a al-Islamiyya) and the Muslim Brotherhood (al-Ikhwan al-Muslimun). (2) As for al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb, the Supreme Court of Russia recognized it as a terrorist organization in November 2008. (3) In this regard, the decision of the Supreme Court of the RF states: «…The materials examined at the court session…testify to the fact that terrorists linked with the organization in question participated in illegal paramilitary groups (article 208, Crim. Code of the RF) operating on the territory of the Northern Caucasus»…
The beginning of 2013 was marked by an increase in the activity of terrorist groups in Africa. Recent weeks have brought news of more and more new terrorist attacks… In April a UN special rapporteur on human rights and fighting terrorism called for urgent assistance to Burkina Faso in dealing with the critical situation it is facing in connection with terrorist attacks. In early May, Boko Haram executed a new simultaneous attack in three places at once (an army barracks, a police station and a prison) in Bama, Nigeria. In late May a double attack took place in Niger at the uranium mines in the city of Arlit. The scale of the attacks and the number of people killed caused the government to declare a three-day mourning period. The radical Islamist group Movement for Oneness and Jihad in West Africa took responsibility for the attack. (4)
A peculiarity of the activities of terrorist organizations in Africa is their great mobility, which in turn is connected with the state of African borders; they are practically transparent, especially in the Sahel. For example, the successful suppression of terrorism in Algeria in the late 1990s was in fact to a great degree due to the migration of terrorists from Algeria to northern Mali across the completely transparent borders in the Sahara.
Terrorist organizations in Africa are more and more often presenting a united front. For example, during the movement of Nigerian troops to the territory of Mali, Boko Haram fighters engaged with them, attempting to prevent them from entering Mali. At the most recent session of the UN Security Council on terrorism, the Republic of Togo, which had encountered the threat of the new African terror first-hand, reported that individual terrorist groups are beginning to form a «terrorist international» by putting down roots in several countries at once; as a result, it is now difficult to differentiate international terrorism from local terrorism. The situation is exacerbated by the fact that the activities of such terrorist groups create a serious threat to the efforts of the international community toward keeping the peace. (5)
Several peculiarities of the activities of terrorist organizations in Africa may be pointed out. First, as was already mentioned, terrorist groups hinder the work of UN and African Union peacekeeping missions. Second, the terrorist threat in Africa is the product of a merger between political and religious extremism and organized crime. Africa could turn into a pool for the recruitment, training and financing of terrorists outside the Black Continent as well. Finally, terrorists could seize control of such strategic resources as oil, uranium, diamonds, etc. The activities of terrorist organizations in Africa are now being discussed in the UN Security Council (Al-Qaeda of the Islamic Maghreb, Ansar Dine and the Lord's Resistance Army) and the International Criminal Court (the Lord's Resistance Army and Boko Haram), but there have been no results. For example, despite the fact that the government of Uganda, the International Criminal Court and the UN Security Council are all fighting against the Lord's Resistance Army, they still have not been able to arrest a single one of the organization's leaders, for whom international arrest warrants have been issued.
It is impossible not to notice that practically all major terrorist attacks have served as a basis for the West's interference in the affairs of African states. The attacks on the U.S. embassies in Kenya and Tanzania in 1998 led to the American bombing of Sudan. The Lockerbie bombing became the basis for air strikes against Libya. Terrorism in Mali was the basis for an invasion by France. It is also apparent that African terrorist organizations, which officially are each fighting for their own cause, also have a common goal: fighting against the peacekeeping operations conducted by the African Union. Thus one can infer that the spread of terror is someone's way of not allowing Africans to take the resolution of conflicts on the Black Continent into their own hands.

Summary: Era spends a morning inadvertently terrorizing the locals.
Status: Threaded, Incomplete
This morning, like the morning before and so many others before that, left Era wondering what to do with her day. That she would go flying was a given, but there was nothing beyond. It seemed traitorous, to long for more; but she did. Day passed after day in cruel repetition, the emptiness mocking her. Rather than sit and allow her thoughts to overwhelm her, Era took to the skies – beating wings racing to outstrip her thoughts.
Through a cloudless stretch of sky, the dragon wheeled and lunged, playing chase amid a myriad of imaginary companions. For a while a real bird did come to play and they chased up and down, but then the bird got weary and went away. Era did a couple of sweeps over the town just to see what the people were up to. But they did nothing new. They never did. They ran and shouted as humans do. It was hard to see how some of these creatures could have thought enough to put pen to paper. Some of her favorite authors had been human, but these ones seemed hardly capable of intelligent speech, much less artful rhetoric.
As the sun rose high, she found herself tired from her efforts. She was sore and thirsty but reluctant to land. Era lazed for a bit, allowing the thermals to bear her up a while. But she soon tired of even that. Finally alighting on the ground, Era stretched cat-like to drink from the river.

Glass office doors incorporate style, aesthetics, and functionality into any workspace entryway, with endless customizations possible to create the perfect, signature fit for any business.
The following are several popular types of glass office doors, along with some associated pros and cons of each:
Framed vs. Frameless Doors
Framed glass doors are available in all shapes and sizes, and typically less expensive than their frameless counterparts. Commonly consisting of wood, hollow metal (chiefly steel), and aluminum, these are simpler to fabricate, and utilize less glass. They also do a much better job of insulating for both sound and heat—making them great options for rooms that require privacy or separate temperature controls.
Frameless doors are the ideal choice for conveying a modern, spacious aesthetic, but can be more costly and provide less insulation. They require thicker lites (sheets of glass) than framed doors, as well as specialty processes and equipment to cut the holes for hinge or handle hardware.
Glass Works With Any Door Style
Any style door can incorporate glass, whether sliding, pivot, swing, bi-fold, stacking, or French, with the most popular being swing and pivot.
Swing doors are reliable, inexpensive, and functional for practically any application—the number and type of supports dependent on the size and material of both its door and hinge.
Pivot doors are an upgrade aesthetically, featuring a smooth, gliding, opening motion that standard doors can't duplicate. They also offer wider walkways, as the hardware requires less space for framing. Expense can be a concern, however, with prices ranging approximately 30% to 50% higher than a typical swing door.
Decorative Glass Improves Privacy & Adds Personality
Decorative glass door features vary across a wide spectrum, from paint, etching and sandblasting to frosting and silk-screening effects. Decoration increases cost, but popular choices, such as frosted tinting, can work, even within a modest budget.
Patterned, frosted designs are an especially popular option for offices, adding a touch of flair and increased privacy for glass walls and doors.
Laminated Glass Is Best for Soundproofing
Lamination improves acoustic insulation significantly, especially when used in a properly sealed frame and wall. This isn't necessary for all applications, but can help in areas where maximum privacy is required.
Endless Combinations
If you're considering glass doors for your next office design project, think big. Your options are endless—with a vast array of color, patterns, or privacy glass available, for any door or wall.

VALPARAISO, Ind. The 42nd Anniversary Antique and Collectible Auction seven days of auctions spread over three consecutive weekends is a milestone for Kraft Auction Service of northern Indiana; and could serve as a real indicator of the health of the auction market.
The event generated $3.8 million in sales, a new high-mark for a Kraft Anniversary event. Our goal, this year, was $3 million in sales, Jonathan Kraft, owner and lead auctioneer, said. I'm really happy with the sale, prices were good, I think, everyone was well pleased.
The unique blend of antique and vintage autos, motorcycles, antiques and collectibles brought out more than 20,000 bidders from across the world. We had one guy actually fly from England to buy a glass globe, Kraft said. He got his glass globe. We're now packaging up all the gas pumps he also bought at the sale.
The star of the third (and final) Jan. 26-27 sale was an 1899 Mills Duplex 5-cent upright slot machine at $77,500. The 70-inch tall machine, with heavily carved ornate designs, copper accents and claw feet, was sold to an online Netherlands bidder over two competing phone bidders.
A Chicago bidder also paid a pretty handsome price of $42,500 for a 1901 Caille Brothers Co. cabinet slot machine. The upright Black Cat Caille machine measured 68- inches tall.
All quoted prices are hammer prices and do not include buyer's premiums and other fees.
The top selling auto was a 1966 Ford Fairlane 500 427 Tribute bought by a California bidder for $42,500. The car, with 64,000 original miles, was completely restored in 2009. It packed a 1969 428-stroked 465 cubic inches, generating 500 horsepower. Appraised at $75,000, the car had only been driven 7,000 miles in the last nine years, according to the consigner.
Much of the sale's success and good sales numbers was the addition of the estate of Leigh M. Korthals from Wisconsin. Korthals, a bachelor and 30-plus year General Motors employee, was an avid collector of 1930s Model As, and ultimately, many other things. Korthals died in 2017 at the age of 74.
He was a great collector
almost a hoarder, Kraft said of Korthals, who was a member of Model A clubs in both Rockford and Madison, Wis.
Many of the cars sold at the sale came from Korthals' collection.
The choice of cars was broad enough to attract much interest in car circles. Among those sold was a 1949 Custom Woodie Station Wagon (one of 850 reportedly built in 1949 with as few as 12 extant, which sold for $35,000.)
Other cars sold included: A 1932 Ford Deluxe V8 Roadster, $36,000; 1970 Dodge Coronet R/T, $31,000; 1928 Jordan Playboy Roadster, $29,000; 2011 Cadillac Hybrid Escalade Platinum SUV, $25,000; 1932 Ford 5-window coupe, $24,000; and a 1935 MG PA Roadster, $20,0000.
Kraft said a well-known female celebrity bought a 1971 Volkswagen Microbus for the hammer price of $13,500, adding the vehicle is going to California.
Another unique piece Is It Art; Or Machine? was the 2005 Redneck Art Attack custom cycle, built by Russ Hess of Cowboy Custom Bikes. The fully functioning motorcycle (there's no speedometer/odometer on the bike; however, the consigner claimed it had been ridden less than 1,000 miles) has an interesting twist to its title and provenance. It spent at least 8 months as an art exhibit for the Eiteljorg-Museum of Western Artifacts in Indianapolis, Ind.
It took Hess more than nine months to build the custom motorcycle. In silverwork, there are more than 800 hours of work clamed for the placement of 47 pieces of engraved silver overlay, featuring 115 gold flowers and rubies.
The motorcycle, featured in numerous national and international publications, sold for $30,000.
Despite the success, auctioneer and business owner Kraft believes he may condense the sale to a two-weekend event. I think we lost some cross-over interest when we went to a three-week event, he says, adding that's not to take away from a very successful sale.

Jeff Rosenstock - We Cool?
We Cool? is the new solo album from Jeff Rosenstock formerly of the band Bomb The Music Industry. Falling somewhere between the emo revival and the pop punk revival this album is unique in it's own way. Emotionally charged lyrics, often depressing set against aggressive pop-punk instrumentals this album has it all. I never really got into Bomb The Music Industry, they were a band I had head name dropped quite a few times but never had any interest in checking out so I can really draw and comparisons to them. Jeff Rosenstock though is an impressive song writer however. Timeless themes about feeling lost at a crossroads, watching everyone else seemingly surpass you, lost loves, tragedies, and being alone are all found here, delivered in interesting ways from chants to very, very, grating and off key piano ballads. This album definitely leans more towards the punk side of the pop-punk spectrum. While often upbeat in sound featuring everything from horns to chimes and the aforementioned electronic piano, the themes are more darker in tone, it's really an album that doesn't take itself too seriously. So to answer his question, yes Jeff we cool.

The FDA has issued a notice on the April 13 conviction of two men for selling unapproved surgical sterilization devices that caused 18 patients to lose sight in one eye.
Ross Caputo and Robert Riley, executives at AbTox, received permission for their company to "market a small gas plasma sterilizer only for use in sterilizing flat stainless-steel surgical instruments without lumens (tubes) or hinges," the notice said. But "the defendants instead marketed a larger, unauthorized version of the sterilizer and promoted its use for a wide array of non stainless-steel instruments."
An investigation conducted by the FDA's Office of Criminal Investigations led to the convictions of the defendants on "three counts of wire fraud, four counts of mail fraud, seven counts of selling an adulterated (unapproved) or misbranded (mislabeled) human medical device, and conspiracy to defraud the FDA," the notice said.

Canadian OnLine System: Quick Access To Safe Natural Health Products
Colin Carrie, Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Health, today launched the first phase of Online Solution, a secure online system for processing natural health product submissions, site licences, and clinical trial authorizations for natural health products in Canada .
"Our Government is working closely with the natural health product industry to ensure that Canadians have access to safe and effective natural health products," said Minister Aglukkaq. "This new world-class online system will speed up consumer access to these products by making the licensing process more efficient."
"This is an important step in responding to calls from industry and the public for faster licensing of safe natural health products," said Parliamentary Secretary Colin Carrie. "It will help ensure that Canadians enjoy a broader selection of these items."
The Natural Health Products Online Solution contains a world-class fully-searchable database of natural health product ingredients that includes 7,000 acceptable medicinal and non-medicinal ingredients. Natural health product manufacturers will also benefit from pre-cleared information, such as pre-approved ingredient information claims and conditions of use, as the basis for new product applications.
"This initiative demonstrates that Health Canada is committed to co-operating closely with the natural health product industry to upgrade the current system,"said David Skinner, President, NDMAC, representing the consumer health products industry. "Health Canada 's Online Solution will reduce the burden for companies by allowing us to submit multiple applications at the same time and receive licenses or decisions within days."
Canada Post is very pleased to bring its expertise in secure message delivery solutions to this important Health Canada initiative,"said Cheryl Persad, Canada Post's Senior Vice President of Transaction Mail.
The Online Solution initiative is one of a number of measures Health Canada has introduced to improve the efficiency of the application approval process for natural health products. It is estimated hat the new system will significantly reduce the average application time which, to date, has been approximately sixty business days.

The Squamish Lillooet Regional District (SLRD) voted to remove destination-resort language from its regional growth strategy (RGS) at its regular meeting on Feb. 28.
Board chair Jack Crompton told the Squamish Chief that the vote was unanimous.
The move itself, made as part of the SLRD's provincially mandated five-year RGS review, was controversial, as some perceived it to be an attempt to halt the proposed Garibaldi at Squamish (GAS) ski-resort project on Brohm Ridge.
The board had initially put forth removing the language as a minor amendment, but changed it to a major amendment, requiring a more intense feedback process, after the Squamish First Nation objected.
An initial public hearing was held at the SLRD's Pemberton office in September, but the board opted to hold another in Squamish on Feb. 19. At the latter, people on both sides of the issue packed the Eagle Room at the Sea to Sky Hotel to voice their respective opinions.
At that meeting and throughout the process, Crompton maintained that GAS is currently dealing with the province, and the SLRD's decision to eliminate the destination-resort language should not have any direct effect on the project.
As well, in response to residents concerned that removing the language eliminates a framework for those who might want to build a destination resort, he stressed it was "descriptive language."
The impetus to eliminate the language was to simplify the RGS document.
"In the end, the board felt this amendment provides clarity — that there are no lands in the regional district zoned 'destination resort,'" Crompton told the Chief.
Whistler Mayor Nancy Wilhelm-Morden reiterated her opposition to the GAS project, and added that in her view, the SLRD move is a clear salvo against it.
"It expresses the view of the corridor through the (regional) district that Garibaldi at Squamish isn't supported," Wilhelm-Morden said. "There are some interesting decisions coming up. I think the GAS proponents are promoting their project again, and (there are) going to be some interesting times ahead."
In an emailed statement, GAS vice-president for planning Rod MacLeod said the developers were unhappy with the result, but they plan to push forward with the project — which has been in development for decades — all the same.
"Garibaldi at Squamish is very disappointed that the SLRD has decided to place this unnecessary roadblock in the way of a positive economic, social and recreational amenity that will benefit the community of Squamish. The SLRD decision to remove the Destination Resort language, that has been part of the Regional Growth Strategy Bylaw for many years, and while the Resort is in the middle of obtaining further approvals from the province, is blatantly unfair," MacLeod wrote.
"We will shortly begin presenting our updated resort plans to the Sea to Sky community and we are confident that local residents and businesses will be supportive of the environmental protections, jobs, recreational amenities and economic benefits that will be created by the all-season resort."

UNIST Professor Park Jong-hwa and researchers at the Korean Genomics Industrialization and Commercialization Center (KOGIC) announced Wednesday they had decoded the genome of the red bat and completed comparative analysis with other organisms.
There is a genetic basis for conservation and restoration of endangered red bats, called myotis rufoniger and also known as the golden bat. In particular, the genetic variation of the long-living red bats is expected to contribute to research on human longevity.
Professor Ryu Deok-young of the Seoul National University Veterinary School jointly conducted the research in collaboration with the National Research Institute of Culture Heritage. Its result appeared in the international journal PLoS ONE, on July 5.
These researchers became the first in the world to decode the genome in Korea. Bats are the longest living mammals in the world compared to body size, but this time they have identified genetic mutations in their long life, the ability to fly and produce and hear ultrasound. The genes of the wild bat can provide important clues about human life and disease, according to a press release issued by the Ulsan National Institute of Science and Technology.
|The successful analysis of Korean red bats' genomes can contribute to the research of longevity and other medical issues, researchers say.
The red bats are a rare creature with only 450 to 500 animals identified in Korea. It is designated as the 1st-degree endangered wildlife and natural monument No. 452. In this study, DNA samples were obtained from red bats found dead in the Gosu Cave in North Chungcheong Province, and the genome was decoded. The team analyzed the genetic mutations of the red bats by comparing the results with the genomes of seven bats and six terrestrial mammals.
In the genome of red bats, researchers found genetic mutations related to the color of the bat and the strong characteristic of arsenic (As). Bats are black, but they have a variety of colors. The researchers found a genetic mutation that caused the red color of the genome of another animal to be compared with the genome of a red bat. The red bats also found mutations in the arsenic (As) resistance gene sequence, providing an evolutionary clue that red bats can survive in cave environments contaminated with heavy metals.
The study also found that the population of red bats decreased from the end of the last ice age. The genome of every organism contains a record of the history and number of individuals in the past evolution of that organism. The genome is a history book of species and the analysis showed that the population of red bats belonging to red bats plummeted from 1,000-5,000 years ago.
"The biggest reason for the rapid decline in the population of bats is probably the destruction of their habitat due to the emergence of humans," said Park Young-joon, the lead author of the study. "We need an additional bat genome study to determine if the decline in bats identified in this study is overall to the bats."
Professor Park agreed. "Bats are biologically as exciting as whales, and as longevity animals, they are precious biological resources for humans," he said. "We need to gather genetic information of these living resources nationally and make it big data. We want to study longevity genetic information more deeply in bat genome, ultimately to utilize for cancer treatment and extension of life."

Chief Creative Officer: Don Childs
Art Director: Scott Smith
Designer: Jeff Raulie
Production Artist: Ree Foltz
Brand Managers: Jenny Price & Anna Oris
Location: USA
7-Eleven recognized that Cold Brew coffee was an emerging trend, one that could still cause confusion with mainstream shoppers. We were asked to create a design with shelf impact that quickly communicated "Cold Brew, flavor, and caffeine levels" to the consumer. Coffee origins were conveyed through the bean illustration and warm brown tones. Large type and bold colors easily revealed key benefits and flavor at shelf.
"7-Eleven strongly believes that the quality of the packaging outside should reflect the quality of the product on the inside," said Don Childs, Chief Creative Officer, at Brandimage. "Brandimage understands this — that meaningful packaging design influences consumers to keep coming back to purchase and repurchase their favorite brand products."

Senior Discounts
Monday, 05 September 2016
Do you use senior discounts? The only one I am aware of using is movie theaters but I hardly ever go anymore. I wait for the films I want to see to show up on Netflix or Amazon or Hulu or even in discount DVD bins because theaters nowadays jack up the audio so high it actually hurts my ears.
But I'm not here to rant about that - at least, not today.
Discounts are hard to track. The first problem is age. It appears that most begin at 55 but 60, 62 and 65 are not uncommon and amazingly, even 50 turns up more often than you might think. It's not easy to sort out which stores think which age is old enough for a discount.
Another issue is day-of-the-week or day-of-the-month discounts. These are usually at supermarkets, usually 10 percent but they require one to remember if it is every Tuesday (or is it Wednesday?), the third Thursday and so on. I gave up a long time ago and besides, New Yorkers if not others know that it's not really a discount unless it's at least 25 percent off.
A Google search for "senior discounts" results in nearly five million returns. There are a lot of lists of links to senior discounts and they cover almost anything you would ever need in life. A short topic sampling:
Car rentals
Medical and Pharmacy
Food and beverages
Health and nutrition
There are many more but you get the idea. You can search by names of stores and restaurants too, AARP has its own list and you will rarely fail to find a discount when you search for something specific like, for example, "flowers senior discount" or "electrician senior discount."
In recent years, a cottage industry of objections to senior discounts has developed from people who believe it is unfair.
Ann Brenoff, writing at Huffington Post earlier this year, agrees but has a couple of thoughtful suggestions:
"Seniors aren't the poorest among us anymore. The national poverty rate, according to the 2014 Census, is 14.8 percent. For seniors 65 and older, it's just 8.7 percent, while for children under 18 it was 21.1 percent. Maybe it's children we should be offering discounts to?
"Seniors, like my (now-deceased) aunts, would tell you how discounts are a way of honoring or showing respect to our elders. I fail to see how 75 cents show a whole heck of a lot of honor and respect.
"Maybe the way to honor them is to fund Medicare to the level where it would pay for some of the things most seniors actually need: eyeglasses, hearing assistance, and dental work?
"And if we really respected their age and the wisdom that presumably comes with it, why aren't we hiring more of them instead of making them feel unwelcome in the workplace and telling them how they aren't a good 'cultural fit?'"
Hear, hear, Ms. Brenoff. A lot of us have been saying these things for years – we just had not made what I see now is the logical connection to senior discounts.
Since none of those changes – discounts, Medicare and employment – are going to happen any time soon, here is a poem about it sent last week by TGB reader Tom Delmore that is funny, poignant and sweet.
It is from the poets.org website and is written by Ali Leibegott – titled Senior Discount:
I want to grow old with you.
Old, old.
So old we pad through the supermarket
using the shopping cart as a cane that steadies us.
I'll wait at register two in my green sweater
with threadbare elbows, smiling
because you've forgotten the bag of day-old pastries.
The cashier will tell me a joke about barbers as I wait.
He repeats the first line three times
but the only word I understand is barber.
Over the years we've caught inklings
of our shrinking frames and hunched spines.
You're a little confused
looking for me at the wrong register with a bag
of almost-stale croissants clenched in your hand.
The first time I held your hand it felt enormous in my own.
Sasquatch, I teased you, a million years ago.
Over here, I yell, but not in a mad way.
We're laughing.
You have a bright yellow pin on your coat that says, Shalom!
Senior Discount, you say.
But the cashier already knows us.
We're everyone's favorite customers.

This time of year is so much fun for making things with your preschoolers for Easter celebrations. Whether or not you celebrate Easter formally, many of these activities and crafts are great just to celebrate the arrival of spring. With the help of a parent or older sibling, these activities are great for preschoolers. These are also a great way to take the focus off the candy that often accompanies this holiday. I fondly remember making some of these with my kids when they were little. How I miss those days.
Fun Easter Activities for Preschoolers

We still hang ours up every year. With kiddy scissors, most preschoolers can cut up the paper and then stick it on the shape. I love the way the sunlight shows through it.

Protecting Ourselves from the Deep Shale Gas Mining Industry
Residents of Kent County are very concerned about what shale gas exploration and mining will do to our fresh water wells and aquifers as well as human health, health of livestock and wildlife, and local land and air quality. Upriver Environment Watch! has recently formed, to inform ourselves and our neighbours about this issue. We are working together with Kent County's Our Environment/Our Choice to sponsor this public information event.
The Alward government is vigourously promoting the economic development of our provincial deep shale gas resources. To set our minds at rest, our trustees in Fredericton are promising they will soon produce a "world-class" set of standards, so that these industries understand they must not pollute our families, homes and rivers in the beautiful Kent County region.
The creation and enforcement of even the strongest regulations by the Government of New Brunswick will not guarantee that we are protected from the health and environmental hazards associated with this industry. Leaving aside the larger and major environmental concerns, this deep drilling and refracturing technology is scientifically exceptionally unpredictable. It is too new, too unknown, and very unsafe. Further, how does the Alward government propose to fund a top-notch regulatory and enforcement system that opens in high gear, and can operate 24/7/365 as needed? That is an expensive proposition.
In October 2011, Minister Northrup said that natural gas companies have been "made well aware that they may not explore where they are not welcome." WE DO NOT WELCOME shale gas exploration in our Kent County communities, but we expect to see their equipment back here by Spring. How do we protect our properties, families, farms, drinking water, watersheds, wildlife, and livestock from this environmental threat?
Mr. DesNeiges will cover these and more topics in his talk. He will also answer questions from the audience. His presentation will be in English but he will take questions in French or English.

Rumi's lyricism and articulation of love and the divine serves as the basis for much Persian and Afghani music. "With Rumi" will explore how barriers in language can be reconceived through various modes of art and, more specifically, re-communicated through the human body. "With Rumi" will emerge from narratives of discrimination and healing from women of color, incorporating movement and projected animation.

Relating to nodes in a connected architecture
DARPA's Information Processing Techniques Office (IPTO) was born in 1962 and for nearly 50 years was responsible for DARPA's information technology programs. IPTO invested in breakthrough technologies and seminal research projects that led to pathbreaking developments in computer hardware and software. Some of the most fundamental advances came in the areas of time-sharing, computer graphics, networking, advanced microprocessor design, parallel processing and artificial intelligence.
IPTO pursued an investment strategy in line with the vision of the office's first director, J. C. R. Licklider. Licklider believed that humans would one day interact seamlessly with computers, which, in his words, "were not just superfast calculating machines, but joyful machines: tools that will serve as new media of expression, inspirations to creativity, and gateways to a vast world of online information." IPTO was combined with DARPA's Transformational Convergence Technology Office (TCTO) in 2010 to form the Information Innovation Office (I2O).
Conceived by Douglas Engelbart and developed by him and colleagues at the Stanford Research Institute (SRI), the groundbreaking computer framework known as oN-Line System (NLS), jointly funded by ARPA and the Air Force, evolved throughout the decade. In what became known as "The Mother of All Demos"—because it demonstrated the revolutionary features of NLS as well as never-before-seen video presentation technologies—Engelbart unveiled NLS in San Francisco on December 9, 1968, to a large audience at the Fall Joint Computer Conference. Engelbart's terminal was linked to a large-format video projection system loaned by the NASA Ames Research Center and via telephone lines to a SDS 940 computer (designed specifically for time-sharing among multiple users) 30 miles away in Menlo Park, California, at the Augmentation Research Center, which Engelbart founded at SRI. On a 22-foot-high screen with video insets, the audience could see Engelbart manipulate the mouse and watch as members of his team in Menlo Park joined in the presentation.
With the arrival of the ARPA Network at SRI in 1969, the time-sharing technology that seemed practical with a small number of users became impractical over a distributed network. NLS, however, opened pathways toward today's astounding range of information technologies.

When people have found their soul mate, they want them to stay in their lives forever
Don't make life too complicated and miserable. You have to learn when to let go and walk away. Love isn't selfish nor slavery. Love yourself before you have to love someone said by the pretty girls from London Escorts. When you don't know your worth, it's hard for you to stand on your own. You were too afraid of life being alone or being dependent on someone. Always remember that settling for a less still leads up to break up, so if you don't want to suffer for a long time, you have to break the tie. Believe in yourself that you can always do what is right. You have to learn what life outside with your partner is. If you're in doubt when to let go, stick around as we go through it.
You have to know the difference between his joy and yours. They say that falling in love means his/her joy become yours and vice versa. But you have to evaluate if it is becoming selfish and it's the only beneficiary to him/her. He/she doesn't support your likes and engagements in life. When he/she lets you wait for too long to make decisions said by the girls from London Escorts.
Don't let someone destroys your inner peace by verbal abuse. It can develop trauma and depression too. Don't let someone talk to you like trash. Your relationship should be a source of positive and appreciation. Not someone who will use you and abuse because you are afraid to speak. You have to talk for your right. That someone isn't the right one for you said by the girls from London Escorts. Don't be so assured that it will only remain a verbal abuse when they get too used to it; your partner can start hurt you physically. And don't allow yourself to treat you like that. You are kind and enough. It was not loved anymore but abusing your love.
Always know that you are not an option, he/she get to see you when the time is free to him/her. When a person makes alibies to postpone your date, isn't right at all. When he can't make time for your problems, you know that you're not important. When he/she only see you on his breakdowns in life. Don't make people a priority when you were an option said by the girls from London Escorts.
Letting go was hard but watering a dead plant won't grow anymore. Your relationship is, and you need to walk away. You have to love your life or lose yourself. No one is entitled to hurt your feelings of loving too much. Find someone who can reciprocate your love also.…
I really want to make a Watford escort understood what I am trying to do
It seems to be that there are just no more solutions in my life right now. I've been sad and depressed for an enough time already and now maybe the right time to try to fix my life with someone that genuinely wants to be here with me. I've come up with a lot of different ways to try to meet a lady who can love me and open her heart to me. But things never really had worked out for far too long. I've recently had an idea to just try to find someone who can help me do the right thing and make sure that everything can still function well in my life. The only person that I've been able to think if that can really do something that is magical is a Watford escort of https://charlotteaction.org/watford-escorts. I don't really have any chance going through life just on my own. What is going to make sense to me right now is to be able to able to do the right things with a Watford escort. I just know that it's always fun to stay with her and be a positive person with her. Things do not have to get worst and worst when a woman who can help is around. I've been through enough mistakes to know that a Watford escort might me the person that I've always needed all along. It did not take so long to meet a wonderful Watford escort. After getting closer and closer to a Watford escort. I was able to know that she really can be the one that could help me turn things around. Getting my life back on track was close to impossible to do. But it's really nice to finally open my life with someone who can be there at the end of the day. There are a lot of great moments to have with a Watford escort. She is just a special lady who does what she needs to do just for me. I don't have bro struggle and do many things because i have someone to look forward to in my life with my life with a Watford escort who is the first person who made my life a priority.

Single London Escort Vs. Attached London Escort
You certainly do face a lot of challenges when you work for a London escorts service. So many girls that I meet think it is a breeze working for a London escorts service. Let me tell you that it is far from an easy job. First of all, you need to put in a lot of effort to become established. After that, you have to work long hours to make sure that you stay on top of your career. Along the way, personal relationships tends to suffer and having a boyfriend is not easy at all.
As a matter of fact, many girls who work for London escorts only enjoy male company when they are on duty. That is certainly true for me. There is no way that I would have the time to fit in a personal relationship along with my work for London escorts. A lot of men can't cope with the idea that you are an escort in the first place and that does not make it any easier at all I am afraid. The truth is that many of the girls at our London escorts service are single.
When I am busy I don't mind being single. However, there are times when being single can get to you a little. It would be nice to have someone to go on holiday with or spend Christmas with. I think that is what I miss most about working for London escorts. Not only that, but my family does not know that I work for a cheap escorts agency. I am not sure that I will ever tell them as I think that it would upset them a lot. They just think that I work really hard in a club and I am leaving it at that. It is not exactly easy to tell your mom and dad that you are in fact an escort.
The girls at my London escorts service who are in relationships seem to be having a tough time with it. They always look stressed out. It is difficult to know how you should divide up your time. I guess the ideal solution for many female London escorts would be to be in a relationship with male London escorts. I have met a couple of male London escorts but nothing has come out of it. The truth is that they seemed to have the same kind of problems that I have when it comes to having a long term relationship.
When I finally leave London escorts, I think that I would like to focus on relationships. It would be nice to have a man in my life. The only problem is that many men who date London escorts spoil you so much that you may even have a hard time finding the right kind of guy. I don't know why, but I have this feeling that it may happen to me. Some of the men I date at London escorts are real elite clients and they spoil me rotten. Will I be able to downshift my lifestyle? I am not sure that it something that I am going to find easy to do at all.…
I will never stop trying to make my relationship work with a Woodley escort.
At first it was not easy for me to find the right person in my life; I struggled really hard to look for a woman who is brave enough to tolerate all my bad behaviours. Then I found the one after so long, she is a Woodley escort of https://charlotteaction.org/woodley-escorts and her name is Shannon. This woman was really stunning and I would never forget the moment that we first fell in love. Together with this Woodley escort I feel unstoppable in life. no matter what I do I think that there's always a way out because of this girl. I believe that there's always going to be peace of mind in my life now that this Woodley escort has already come in my life. I do not want to wait until the day I die that's why I felt so happy when this Woodley escort came into my life. I felt alive and well again. I've not felt this way for a very long time already. I just could not imagine how hard it would be if I was able to be there for without anyone to love because that would surely be the case if this Woodley escort had not come into my life. I know that this girl is the perfect woman for me and I really want other people to know that this person is exactly what I have been searching for all the days of my life. When my parents meet this Woodley escort, it's the first time I felt that they were proud of me. I can feel their happiness when they discovered that they loved my Woodley escort girlfriend. I could not thank this woman enough for giving me another chance at love. I know that I am not the kind of person goes deserves to be loved by any people. But this Woodley escort's love is what I would probably need in the present or in the future. I just feel very strong when we are together and I will not give up on her. Now I want to promise her that I will stay in her life though the happiness and the pain. It's only right doing me to decide the person that I am going to marry. I do not think that it's right for me to stay single for a very long time. I know and believe that this Woodley escort is all that I've got and I would totally do everything for her. No matter what happens I will fight for my Woodley escort and won't stop. It's the best course of action I can do right now. This girl is really precious to me and I would do everything that I can to make her happy. I do not know if my love will be enough for her but I will never stop trying no matter what. It's the least I can do.…
Essex escorts want others to feel safe and that they are not being judged.
Feelings can't be stopped when one is developing emotional attachment from people that are around him especially when he found a girl that he might like. Many different emotions are going on in one's mind especially when he has a weird sensation towards a woman that she might want. There are many kinds of people who might shy away whenever they do feel a lot of pressure with their life but always a good thing when one does know how to deal with his problem. There's a lot of ways a man can do to help deal with his issues with his feelings. He might try to hide it so that many people who would not know whatever is going through his mind. That kind of attitude can also hinder his ability to find a great woman in his life that is willing to go through a lot for him. There's not a much better way to try to meet someone that one might be happy about just by staying true to what he believes in. It might save a guy form a lot of heartbreak in the end out it also hide him from an opportunity to have a good time with somebody in his life.

The perfect glamorous lifestyle of Escorts
You may think that working for London Escorts service offers up the perfect glamorous lifestyle. The truth is different. Okay, you may meet gentlemen who like to go out with you, buy you bottles of champagne and give you generous tips, but at the end of the day, your feet still ache from having worked around in high heels all day. Working for London escorts is not all about designer handbags and champagne cocktails.
Working for London escorts often means long hours and working to late at night. This Saturday I have not been able to get out of bed as yet. I am still in my pajama and I am sitting in bed. Actually I am so tired that I can't really think of what to do with myself, and even though I have tried to go back to sleep, I have not been able to do so. Last night, or rather this morning, I did not come home until 3 am and it has made me very tired.
I should really be going shopping as the cupboards are empty but I don't really have strength at the moment. Making the most out of life when you work for a London escort's service is not easy, and I guess a lot of it has to do with the cash that you make. We don't often talk about many at the escort service that I work for in London, but at the end of the day, I have bagged some seriously hot tips this week. I guess I should think about that.
Most girls tend to focus on getting their own places during their time at London escorts. I had a bit of an advantage as I used to dance in a top London club before I started to work at London escorts. I learned that to make the most out of life, you really needed to have a couple of days off from dancing and you can say that I have done the same thing at the escort agency in London. Without my time off from escorting I think that I would have gone completely nuts by now, but I am managing pretty well.
The girls who have just joined escort services in London often worry what it is all about. I know that it is not easy to adjust to being a London escort, but I have got my own little trick which I often share with the younger London escorts. I keep telling them to focus on the future. It is really what happens after you have worked for a London escort service that matters, and if you want to make the most out of your time at the agency, I would urge you to save your money or invest in something smart like your own place. That is how you make the most out of being a London escort. If you are any good at it, you can probably live on your tips just like I do.…
I am addicted to being single
When I closed the door to my London escorts boudoir for the last time, I have to admit that it felt kind of good. I had worked for cheap outcall escorts for eight years and I was really ready to do something else. It had been a special experience, and I am not going to deny that I had done well for the escort agency in London.
Without my escorts career, there would have been several things that I would not have been able to do.I had not made any specific plans on how to move on with my life after London escorts, but I did know that I wanted to have some time to myself. During the past eight years, it had felt like my life had been full of people 24/7. I seemed to be dating all night, and during the day, I often ended up hanging out with the girls from the London escorts agency that I worked for. In a way, I needed a people break.For the first couple of weeks, I just spend my time chilling out and sleeping.
Like so many other escorts in London, I had earned pretty good money and had been able to buy my own place. It was a three story home, and I rented out two apartments and lived in the basement apartment myself. It had all been planned. I had not wanted to leave my job and worry about money. Most girls who have worked for London agencies have done some smart financial planning before they actually leave their respective work places. A lot of the girls that I worked with at London escorts, sort of escorted with a purpose if you know what I mean.
They had plans in my mind when they left London escorts, and some of them were even saving up to go to university. I must admit that I did not really have any such plans in mind. It felt like I had worked hard for a very long time, and that I just wanted to have some time out. After a couple of weeks away from London escorts, I did realise that I really enjoyed my single lifestyle.I am now two years down the line after having left London escorts. Am I still single? I am still single but I am getting a kick out of my single life.
I see this as a chance to do many of the things that I would like to do. So far I have traveled a little bit and I have done many of the other things that I thought about doing when I worked for London escorts. I am glad that I have an income so I don't have to worry about that, and I have decided that I am not going to worry about meeting the right man. One day, he will probably just turn up and I will realise that he is the one. It is all about a lot positive thinking at the end of the day.…
I feel guilty about other men turning me on
I am often asked by my friends who do not work for London escorts, how I can handle dating so many attractive men without being turned on. That is not true, I do get turned on by some of the gentlemen I meet at London escorts, and sometimes I cannot help but to imagine what it would be like living with one or having sex with them. Some of the guys I meet at London escorts are so attractive that I really do have a hard time keeping my hands off them.
At the moment I don't have a boyfriend, but if I did have a boyfriend, I would not dream of cheating on him. I think that commitment in a relationship is really important, but sometimes you cannot achieve it. So far, I don't that I have experienced real commitment with any of my boyfriends, but I have regulars at the best outcall London escorts website agency that I am more committed to me. When they don't turn up for regular dates at London escorts, I really do find that I worry about them, and many of the other girls say the same thing.
Working for London escorts is one of those jobs you tend to take rather seriously. When I first started to work for this escort service in London, I thought that I was going to take my London escorts career very lightly. However, it is funny how quickly you change and become personally involved with your dates. That was something that I never used to do when I worked as a stripper for a club here in London. You may do a private lap dance for a guy, but when the night was over, that was always as far as it went.
With London escorts it is very much different. You spend more time with individual gentlemen, and I am pretty sure that how you become personally involved with many of them. I always find that I spend a lot of time talking to my gents and getting to know them, and once I have done that, they become ten times more attractive to me. Many London escorts say that they try to stay away from giving their gents a personal dating experience but I cannot help trying to get to know them. During that process I often become turned on, and excited by spending time with a certain man.
It is true what they say. Some people really have attractive personalities and when you get up close and personal with a person like you do at London escorts, you get to see all sides to that person. Not all gents have attractive personalities but many of them do. I find it really hard to resist some of them. It is especially hard to resist a charming gentleman who has taken you out for dinner, bought you a nice bottle of wine, and now would like to say goodnight. That is when I find it really hard to keep my hands of my regulars at London escorts, and I am pretty sure that I am not the only girl at London escorts who have got that problem.…
Men Masturbation: All You Need To Know
A very common activity in today's society is masturbation. It is a nice, natural way for a person to explore their body. It is a normal sexual activity that people of all genders, races, and backgrounds engage in from time to time. Most men engage in masturbation in their life, and usually more often than women. Masturbation in moderation has no harmful side effects, but excessive masturbation can impact your everyday and relationship life negatively.
Masturbation Benefits
• Lower risk of prostate cancer
Some research in the recent years has suggested that regular ejaculation actually reduces the risk of prostate cancer. In 2003, an Australian study was published showing that regular expulsion of seminal fluids leads to a lower probability of having prostate cancer.
• Relieve built up stress
There is a lot of hustle involved in the modern life setting. At one point or another, you will need to relieve yourself of the stress. Masturbation is a great way to relax.
• Sleep well
Since masturbation can be relaxing, it is no wonder that it can help with sleep. Getting a peaceful night's sleep will be much easier once you release your load.
• Boost your mood
When feeling down, nothing brightens your day more than the feeling of sexual satisfaction. Masturbation will boost your mood in a very short period of time.
• Release sexual tension
Imagine meeting your sexual fantasy or just thinking about them. This can build up so much sexual tension. Why hold on to all that tension? Masturbation is an easy way to get rid of that tension.
• Have better sex
During masturbation, you learn a lot about your body and what can get you off. This will help improve your sexual life with your partner greatly. Also, masturbation can help you avoid finishing too early with your partner.
What are the few side effects of masturbation on men's health?
• Addiction
Masturbation can be very addictive. You may end up spending a lot of valuable time masturbating instead of doing other things. You may end skipping activities like: social events, work or school and even daily chores.
When men masturbate too much it can lead to problems in the bedroom. This can lead to inability to perform at the necessary time, or decreased sensitivity during sex with your partner.
And if you prefer, you could always hire an amazing escort from www.cityofeve.org to give you a hand-job and more. There are some talented ladies available who would love to get their hands around your cock.…

Zoo it Right
So apparently stop motion is HUGE in Bristol, UK because it's where Aardman Animation Studios (responsible for the popular Wallace and Gromit flicks) is located. Started looking into other work they put out and stumbled upon this adorable video. Actually, I saw this a few years back in film school and was thrilled to rediscover it. Brilliant how Aardman paired off the cuff real-world interviews about apartment living with stop-motion zoo animals commenting on caged life.

Co|Lab is a space dedicated to bringing ideas to life and aims to serve as a hub for research and testing of emerging materials, approaches, and technology that will rapidly transform the construction and real estate industries. HITT Contracting and Co|Lab are dedicated to setting a new industry standard for productivity and efficiencies, elevating the business of building, and engaging the next generation of builders with educational opportunities.
The two-floor, state-of-the-art facility is LEED v4 Platinum certified and ILFI's Petal certified and currently targeting ILFI's Net Zero Energy certifications. With a focus on healthy, red-list-free material selection, the building will meet the most rigorous environmentally sustainable standards. Some critical sustainable features of the project include the mass timber structure using cross-laminated timber (CLT) and glulam, high-performance concrete rainscreen façade, the roof-mounted solar panel array, and its ultra-efficient MEP design. The CLT is a prefabricated, engineered timber product that provides design flexibility and limits environmental impacts compared to traditional structures. The Co|Lab facility is the first CLT structure in Virginia.
The rooftop photovoltaic solar array has over 2,800 sf of space using SunPower 360w panels. These solar panels are designed to provide the building's annual power usage. The MEP design includes variable refrigerant flow HVAC systems, a modern version of a traditional heat pump system where localized fan coil units are leveraged to create multizone systems. Additionally, the facility houses water-based Radiant Heat Flooring, a hydronic system that uses a liquid in a closed loop recirculating system to flow under and through flooring for efficient and consistent warmth. At Co|Lab, it is a hot water system that leverages electrical energy from the solar array to provide cost-effective hot water and to heat the bay areas year-round. Lastly, the facility utilizes a BAS Controls + Dashboard, a critical component in achieving efficient building operations and Net Zero Energy. Monitoring the building systems will provide crucial data analytics in real time on building performance, as well as reporting on trends over time. To achieve net zero operations, the rooftop solar array is projected to produce 118 percent of the building's anticipated annual energy needs. Certification will be earned upon review of 12 months of performance data. Co|Lab's energy performance will be tracked on the BAS Controls + Dashboard to closely monitor energy production and consumption.
Now open, Co|Lab will continue to rely heavily on collaboration with our industry partners to improve the way we build. Learn more on Co|Lab's website: https://colab.build/

The sun, salty oceans and pool chemicals don't really do your hair any good during summer. It makes your hair dry and could cause split ends. I love to be in the ocean as often as I can. It makes me happy, but my hair sometimes feels like dry straw afterwards. So, today I will share my fave easy hair mask for dry hair with you!
What do you need?
- 1 egg
- 1 tsp raw honey
- 1 tsp olive oil
- a hair wrap/headscarf/towel (something to put on your head)
How to make the hair mask?
- Crack the egg in a bowl, whisk the egg so that it's all mixed up.
2. Add the raw honey and olive oil to the egg and mix it together until you have a nice creamy texture.
3. Put the hair mask onto your hair, make sure to put extra focus on the ends.
4.Then, use your headscarf or towel to wrap up your hair, sit back and relax. Leave the hair mask in for 15 minutes. Make yourself a drink. Water or herbal tea will hydrate your body.
5. After 15 minutes, carefully wash out the hair mask and let your hair air-dry.
And there you go! My fave easy hair mask for dry hair in summer! Let me know if you've tried this out. If you post your mask on instagram tag #Dancyfood @tjana I'd love to see your hair mask moment!
Important note: Throw your hair wrap/headscarf/towel immediately in the washer when you're done! If you leave it in the laundry basket the egg will dry and smell horrible! (Yes….speaking out of experience….unfortunately…😵)

Creating the perfect cup of coffee that's sipped around the world.
Carl Staub is fun to talk with, if you have a degree in chemistry and applied physics. But then again, he believes that's what it takes to roast coffee the right way.
"Roasting coffee beans is both an art and science. There are some 860-plus constituents (chemical compounds three times more prevalent in coffee than in wine) that make this one of the most complex beverages in the world," Staub says.
With a degree in electrical engineering, patents for his inventions, a remarkably discerning palate, and a true passion for what he does, Staub has made his Reno-based company, Agtron, one of the most celebrated in the coffee world for the development of its roasting system. His proprietary technology is used in 39 countries, and Staub's analyzer is used by the biggest names on the planet when it comes to roasting.
Coffee has been around since the time of the Romans, and frequently was banned because it was believed to be "Satan's drink," until the 17th century when Pope Clement VIII determined that blessing coffee would "confound Satan," and a daily coffee hour was instituted.
Today, it's more than a morning drink; coffee truly is part of our culture. Where would we be without our double mocha, nonfat, no whip in the morning? Today, the global coffee industry earns an estimated $60 billion annually; with more than 400 billion cups served around the globe daily, coffee is the world's most popular beverage and is ranked the second most valuable commodity after oil.
Beans Versus Grapes
Staub finds coffee beans and wine grapes a natural comparison.
"Similar to grapes used to make wine, coffee bean characteristics vary significantly as a result of varietal, terroir (soil and climate), harvest, and growing technique," he explains. "It takes a skilled craftsperson with a lot of experience to bring out the best qualities of the coffee beans during the roasting process."
A master roaster truly is an artisan. Cupping is a professional technique for evaluating the coffee's fragrance, aroma, taste, body, and aftertaste following roasting and before it goes to market. This still is performed by cuppers and accepted as a way of rating coffee.
Roasting Analysis
Twenty years ago, Staub changed the roasting process with his spectrum analyzer. This device was designed specifically for high-resolution analysis of the degree of roast, bake, or fry; fruit maturity (e.g., coffee beans); and color/appearance variations. It's where technology meets artisanship.
"What the analyzer did was to put some very specific controls on the roasting process," he says. "We literally went from zero controls with the cuppers' approach to 'hyper-technical' controls with the analyzer."
In a nutshell, the coffee roaster performs one of the most critical and essential steps in creating great coffee. The roasting process is responsible for developing and bringing out the full flavor of the coffee bean.
Taste experiences with coffee can range from one-dimensional, as in a single varietal, to rich and complex, which is found in some blends with taste elements described as winey, earthy, sweet, nutty, smoky, or spicy.
Global Reach
Staub brings roasters from around the world to Reno for classes on roasting. He is ever mindful of the knowledge and age of his pupils.
"Some of these people have been doing this for most of their adult lives (40-plus years)," he says, "and what I try to accomplish is to show them how this technology can help them improve on their products."
It's been said coffee is far more than a beverage. It is an invitation to life, disguised as a cup of warm liquid. It's a trumpet wake-up call or a gentle rousing hand on your shoulder. Coffee is an experience, an offer, a rite of passage, and a good excuse to get together.
But in an industry slow to adapt to change, involving the most complex beverage in the world, is it even possible to truly perfect the coffee-roasting process?
Maybe not, but using the tool he devised through sound science, Staub has achieved his ultimate goal: to make a great cup of joe.
Dave Preston has been an epicurean lifestyle journalist working in radio, TV, and print for more than 35 years. He has called Northern Nevada his home since leaving San Francisco in 2001. Preston also is the executive director of the High Sierra Chefs Association and a board member of the American Culinary Federation, as well as a culinary instructor at Academy of Arts, Careers and Technology in Reno.

Service-Learning Program in Ecuador Teaches Leadership
As summer began, most students were looking forward to a break from classes and the daily grind. For educator Amanda Neill and her 13 sophomores and juniors from Ursuline Academy in Wilmington, Delaware, they were actively embracing a different kind of daily grind – a full week of globally-minded, leadership-based service in Ecuador with WorldStrides Camps International.
This rustic program wasn't like any school trip Ursuline's students have ever experienced. As a seasoned-traveled school, they have traversed the globe. But on a WorldStrides Camps International program, students are taken to locales that are facing significant obstacles, as well as opportunities. They live among locals and steep themselves in service experiences.
Ursuline students got off the plane in Quito and six hours later, through the Andes, into the Cloud Forest, and through the rainforest, they had made it to their destination—Camp Ecuador.
Their goals for the week were significant: help build a water collection tank and a septic system, teach English classes and help refurbish furniture for the village's school. Each student would take turns in a leadership role to complete each day's tasks. They knew that each task would help support the community.
"My students learned practical skills, as many of them had never swung a hammer, used a saw, or maintained a garden," Amanda Neill explained. "There was never an opportunity not to be in a leadership role. Everyone was an integral member of the team."
As the week went on, Ms. Neill explained that she was proud to see how they learned to lean on each other and take ownership of their tasks.
Jane Lyons and Anna Shearer, both rising seniors, traveled on the program.
"Each time we completed a task, whether it was building a shelf or a septic system, we felt more capable," said Jane Lyons.
"We all became very close. It didn't matter what grade we were or our age, what mattered was that we were all doing this together," said Anna Shearer.
"We didn't want to leave," said Lyons. "The people were coming up to us to say thank you. We had an impact on them, but they had more of an impact on us."
As they were leaving and saying goodbye, the students left their luggage filled with clothes and shoes for the villagers. "It was our way to say thank you and to give them something they would need. We practically left with the shirts on our backs," said Shearer.
"I was also amazed to see that students weren't anxious to reengage in technology. They enjoyed the simplicity of life, and came back as different people with a new perspective on life," Ms. Neill said proudly.
Ms. Neill and her students are already planning next year's WorldStrides Camps International program. "There has never been an educational travel program that has aligned with our mission as much as WorldStrides Camps International," said Neill. "I started asking the students where they would like to go next year. They told me that they want to come back, so that they can continue to help the community and see the work that they have done, and what it has done for the locals."
Both Lyons and Shearer agree, "This trip changed our lives".
