The personal injury lawyers are knowledgeable about personal injury law. Well, this sounds so obvious, on the other hand, a lot of people think that they are knowledgeable just as the lawyers and that the lawyers are there to only collect money. This is certainly not the case. Just because you have acquired injuries does not denote that you are titled for a full compensation for it. A couple of states consider contributory negligence at the present time, however, it says that if you have contributed to the car accident even slight, then you are not entitled for a compensation. A couple of states recognize some sort of comparative negligence which permits you to acquire at least some compensations for the injuries you obtained depending on your involvement in the accident. And another part of personal injury law is determining what personal injury claims the person is titled to. There are a whole heap of probable claims, a lot of which non-lawyers don't think of.
You will benefit from the Boise personal injury lawyer knowledgeable about personal injury law in that an insurance regulator can't misrepresent or BS the law in attempting to convince that you will not acquire compensation that you are really entitled to.
The personal injury lawyer knows about insurance law – this may seem like it does not give any difference, on the other hand, it can give a significant different. For instance, an insurance policy may give for an advantage of 20000 US dollars to an injured individual. The insurance regulated would tell you that he will give you the whole 20000 US dollars because you have a remarkable personal injury claim. What the insurance regulator will not inform you is that there may be methods under the state law that you can acquire more. For example, a couple of states permit "stacking" of insurance policies in particular situations and this denotes that you can acquire more compensation.

The Salt Lake City personal injury lawyer knows how to estimate the value of injuries – the experienced lawyers have managed a couple of cases and have a great idea of what these injuries are worth of. In addition, personal injury lawyers are knowledgeable about the facts that could decrease or increase the value of compensation that you are entitled to. And by virtue of the experience of the lawyer, the insurance regulators and lawyers can't misrepresent the value of your personal injury claim.

Dhaka, Dec 6 (UNB) - Dhaka Power Distribution Company Ltd (DPDC) on Thursday signed a contract with an Australian firm to conduct a feasibility study in the area under its jurisdiction to replace overhead power cables with underground ones.
As per the deal, Energytron will do the job at a contract value of Tk 22.54 crore within the next one year.
The job includes conducting survey, feasibility study, preparing underground distribution system design, billing materials and estimating the cost to take the 132 kV, 33 kV, 11 kV and 11/0.4 kV electric cables underground.
Addressing the contract-signing ceremony held at the Bidyut Bhaban in the city, State Minister for Power and Energy Nasrul Hamid said it will be a biggest challenge for the Australian firm as overhead power cables pass through very narrow locations in the DPDC area.
He also urged Energytron to complete the work in the stipulated time. "You should appoint very efficient people to do the job as the nature of the areas is different from Sydney or any other Australian city. So, it needs people having communicative skills to make proper design of the job," he said.
Nasrul Hamid urged all other power distribution utilities to take initiatives to replace overhead power cables with underground ones, saying the government has planned to turn Dhaka city into a developed one.
He said the entire power distribution system should go underground maintaining safety and security.
The state minister said China has offered a substantial fund to take the overhead cables underground. "If the project proves to be successful, the other utilities will be encouraged to do so," he said.
With DPDC chairman Shafiqullah in the chair, the function was also addressed by Power Secretary Dr Ahmad Kaikaus, PDB Chairman Khaled Mahmood and DPDC managing director Bikash Dewan.

Kenyan Connection
Americans are not the only ones reacting to the historic election of Barack Obama. People all over the world have been paying close attention to the American election, particularly in Kenya where Obama's father was born.
Dick Gordon recently talked with Eva Muraya, who lives in Kenya, about how buying a printing business changed her life. Madhu Shah sold her that business. Madhu now lives in North Carolina. When he heard Eva's story on the radio, he immediately called us. Madhu and Eva talk to Dick about how their lives have changed since their paths crossed seven years ago - and what it means to them to see Americans elect a president with Kenyan roots.
Remembering Studs
Studs Terkel, the great journalist and oral historian, died last week at his home in Chicago. Over the course of his long life, he interviewed thousands of ordinary Americans. One of them was Mark Larson. At the time Studs interviewed him, Mark was struggling as a liberal white teacher in a diverse city school. Things got so bad that both parents and students were calling Mark a racist.
Mark talks to Dick about what he discovered about himself and his experience from talking to Studs. That interview changed his view of his students and, as he tells Dick, transformed his teaching forever.

It is best to purpose to cowl most of your seeds about 3 times as deep as the thickness of your seeds with the intention to guarantee optimum progress. Nevertheless, certain seeds, such as alyssum and snapdragons, shouldn't be lined because they need a number of gentle to germinate.

Once again it is that slow time of season where the bills pile up and the income dwindles. The engine hobby for me and most others is a losing proposition at best. Thus we are all forced to look at our shelves and say… "what can I sell"? The aquisition of collectables (in this case engines) is a life long goal which never ceases. In fact one has to be able to jump at chances which are presented when one can. In this vein, I am looking at my shelf and had advertised on Enginads a 1 3/4 hp IHC mogul. Now these are a very collectable engine and desirable to most engine buffs. Very few of the 1 3/4 were made and even fewer seem to survive. This particular engine is stuck and missing the ignitor and magneto. The rocker arm is also missing a chunk. Still, all in all this engine is in good condition (although stuck). It is infinitely restorable. I offered it on the ads for 500.00, which I think is pretty good price for a rarity. Well, two nibbles at the ad, but the guy who is most likely to win out is the one who wants me to part it out. He really wants the head and other parts. I likely could make my 500 and more in parting this engine out, but it is a shame because this one is so close to complete. This is the moral dilemma. I am not a chop shop as so many are, however, parting this out may bring life to so many more. It will also bring a greater price. I have already decided that there are too many IHC M's in this world and that parting the number I have obtained is OK, but this is a more complicated issue. Here is to hoping the guy driving down from central Alberta will pay the asking price and give new life to this little chunk of history.

How the Love of a Dog Saved My Life
Two things that have been a part of who I am for as long as I can remember are a love of dogs and a tendency to depression, the first of which can sometimes help to take the sting out of the second. But around the time I turned 30, I went through a period of depression so profound that I could barely function. Spiraling toward oblivion, I made the painful decision to check myself into a psychiatric hospital and to give away my dog, Lou. Though I eventually climbed my way back to health, I remained shaken by the encounter with my own fragility and ashamed that I had fallen to the point where I was unable to take care of not just myself but a dog who depended on me.
After that, the idea of ever getting another dog seemed out of the question. But in the fall of 2012, my significant other, Charlotte, with whom I'd lived for fifteen years, said that she wanted a dog. A few years earlier, we had talked about having a child and, for various reasons, it hadn't worked out. Now, our relationship was going through a difficult time, and in the way some couples look to a baby to save a faltering marriage, Charlotte and I each hoped that adopting a dog would draw us closer. And as soon as she texted me a picture from the North Shore Animal League of a tiny 12-week-old terrier mix—fluffy and white with brown and black markings, a black gum drop of a nose, and giant brown eyes—I instantly texted back: "Bring that dog home! Now!! I think her name is Quincy!"
When Charlotte arrived at our rented cottage on Eastern Long Island, carrying Quincy wrapped in a blanket, I felt a rush of love. As I watched her pad clumsily around the living room—sniffing the skirt of a couch here, mouthing a coffee table leg there—it seemed to me that this could be a new beginning. I vowed to myself that this time I would take good care of my dog. It would be my way of putting things right for abandoning Lou all those years ago.
For a while, Quincy seemed to be a dog designed more for looks than loyalty. (One night, as Quincy was snouting a tennis ball under a table rather than snuggling on the couch with us, Charlotte started crying and said, "I think there's something wrong with her.") But over time, as she saw that we understood and would meet her needs, a powerful bond developed between us and she lavished us with affection—all the sweeter because it felt earned, though she remained an independent little creature who lived and loved on her own peculiar terms.
We soon settled into a routine: Awakened by Quincy's melodic whine—we called it "warbling"—we would take her to the dog run when we were in the city, where we watched her go from a timid puppy cowering by our sides to a fearless scrapper, or to the beach when we were on Long Island, where she developed into a dazzlingly fast runner, obsessed with chasing down tennis balls and various creatures of the land and air. Quincy attracted attention wherever we went—women started smiling at me on the street when I was with her—and passersby routinely stopped to ask what kind of dog she was. I would proudly announce that she was a mutt; Charlotte told people that she was a "Tricolor Snowball," adding, "they're very hard to find."
I was besotted, and my Instagram feed became all-Quincy, all the time. I spent dozens of hours researching dog food on the internet, settling on a brand that consisted of raw, grass-fed meat and organic vegetables, a bloody mess that I delighted in watching Quincy devour. I even wrote a song about her, whose lyrics I will spare you.
As a writer who works at home, I had spent most of my adult life allowing my days to unspool as a series of jazz improvisations. During my unhappy young adulthood, Lou's routine was dictated by my vagaries, to both our detriments. Now, I was submitting to Quincy's rhythms, and she gave my days a structure and order that went beyond meeting her needs. Every morning after her walk, I began meditating for half an hour and sitting down at my desk to work by 9:00. I also started going to CrossFit five times a week and adopted a Paleo diet, which turned out to be much like Quincy's, though I preferred my meals cooked and free of offal. Getting a dog may not be a panacea for all human problems, but to take care of Quincy, I had to take care of myself, and that was a lot.
By summer, as her first birthday approached, Quincy had come into her own. A lean and leggy thirty pounds, she was small but brave of heart, glamorous but rough and tumble, a domestic companion and a creature of wildness. One July afternoon, when she appeared with a wagging tail and a crimson muzzle, having dispatched a nest of baby rabbits, I was appalled but also proud that she could so easily find her place in the natural order of things. That natural order, of course, includes the reality of the canine lifespan, and I found myself thinking, How many summers does a little dog have? I kept a watchful eye on her wherever we went so that I didn't miss a moment. In one of my favorite pictures of Quincy, she is frozen several feet above the shoreline, a tennis ball, caught mid-air, in her mouth, her tail and ears standing straight up like exclamation points, her image reflected in the wet sand. Charlotte and I had the picture printed on holiday cards, accompanied by Mary Oliver's poem about her own dog, "I Ask Percy How I Should Live My Life."
Love, love, love, says Percy.And run as fast as you canalong the shining beach, or the rubble, or the dust.Then, go to sleep.Give up your body heat, your beating heart.Then, trust. Quincy had become the focus of Charlotte's and my life together, partly because we both adored her so and partly because it allowed us to avoid talking about what was going on between us. Our fights were becoming more frequent and wounding, and I started spending more time alone in the city, while Charlotte and Quincy remained on Long Island. In the end, our mutual adoration of Quincy wasn't enough, and Charlotte and I reached the wrenching conclusion that we could no longer go on as a couple.
She decided to move to Colorado, where her sister lived, and she wanted to bring Quincy with her. That seemed right—Charlotte had found her, and now, driving across the country to an uncertain future, she needed her more than I. Though the decision was mutual, we were both devastated, and Quincy picked up on our mood. Sensing the imminent upheaval, she moped around the house with a pair of my gym shorts in her mouth, her mournful eyes almost human.
With Charlotte and Quincy gone, I felt more alone than I ever had. I discovered that I had a lot of time to fill (and that women on the street were smiling at me a lot less). I also realized how dependent I had been on Charlotte to manage the details of our day-to-day life. Though I managed to stave off total domestic chaos, little touches of civility that I had come to take for granted, such as laundered placemats and cloth napkins, proved to be a bridge too far. I found myself confronting long neglected questions about identity and purpose, not a good thing for those with a gift for 3 a.m. dark-night-of-the-soul rumination.
That summer, Charlotte decided that Quincy should come back East and visit with me for a while. "She saved my life during my first six months here," she told me. "Maybe she can help you, too." I knew that they had become a tight-knit pack of two, and I was grateful. On the flight to Colorado, I brooded that Quincy might not recognize me, but when I walked into the arrivals area, she sprinted over, peeing with excitement. Quincy had grown, if possible, more athletic and had tapped even deeper into her wellspring of wildness. One morning, I stood with Charlotte, watching with a mix of awe and alarm as she streaked across a canyon in pursuit of a deer, bearing down on her prey with a ferocity that seemed more wolf than terrier (she didn't catch it). A few days later, I flew back to New York with Quincy on my lap, courtesy of a therapist I'd found online who, for a fee, emailed me a letter designating her an emotional support animal.
With Quincy back, my life instantly felt at least a thousand times better. I found the rhythm of my days happily dictated by her schedule. After months of running at altitude, she needed at least two hours a day of hard, frenzied fetching—her vet said, "She's one of the healthiest dogs I've ever seen, but you've created a monster"—so I gave in and started using a plastic ball chucker to spare my rotator cuff. She had a chaste summer romance with a black Australian Shepherd mix named Baron, the second fastest dog on the beach, to whom she showed her affection by letting him win races and then cooling off by his side in the shallows of the bay. I brought her with me everywhere—to the coffee shop, to cookouts, to dinner parties. When Quincy and I walked into an art opening on a barge in Montauk, someone teasingly said, "Hey—it's Adam and his bae!"
In the fall, I started taking her on the subway up to Central Park in the early morning. There were days when I awoke feeling a dark undertow of melancholy and wanted to stay in bed, but her resolute exuberance carried me along, keeping the bleakness at bay. When she would wake me with a wet nose, raring to go, and I would announce, "It's another good day for a dog," it was a promise to us both.
I was also delivering on the promise that I'd made when we first got her—to myself, to Quincy, to Lou—which felt especially significant because I was doing it on my own. I cleaned her ears with a Q-tip, brushed her teeth with meat-flavored toothpaste, and made sure that the last words she heard before she went to sleep were "I love you, Quincy. You're a good girl." However short I fell in other ways, I knew that this was something that I was doing right. Taking care of Quincy not only showed me how to take care of myself but, like Mary Oliver with her dog before me, how to live my life—exist completely in the present, love wholeheartedly, ask for what you want, play it as it lays, and use up every ounce of yourself every day. I would also add: use placemats and cloth napkins, even if you have the laundry skills of a six-year-old.
Whenever we weren't on Long Island, I somehow felt that I was cheating Quincy. So, in February, I brought her out. Unfortunately, it was during a polar vortex, but that didn't deter Quincy. One bitter morning, because I had some phone interviews scheduled, I gave her a perfunctory walk. By noon, she was thrumming with pent-up energy. It was too cold for the beach, so I took her to a nearby park. Despite the sub-freezing temperature, she was indefatigable. As soon as I started to even think about putting the leash on her, she backed away, shooting me an aggrieved look. I was just loading the ball into the chucker when, suddenly, her ears pricked up and her head swiveled in the direction of the woods. She took off like a shot after what I guessed was a deer, and I recognized the same tunnel vision drive that I'd seen in the Colorado canyon. Terrified, I called for her, but she didn't even look back. I ran after her, but she was gone. As I beat my way through the woods, my phone rang. I picked it up, and a man's voice said, "Do you have a dog named Quincy?"
"Yes," I said. "You found her! Thank you!"
"You'd better get over here. She's been hit."
I stumbled about half a mile through the snow till I saw a truck, a police car, and several other vehicles pulled over. There, on the shoulder, lay Quincy, a blanket over her body, and I heard someone say, "I'm sorry. She's gone." With the surreal clarity of tragedy, my first thought was: Oh. This is how it ends. My second was: I was given something perfect, and I destroyed it. I walked over to her and kneeled down. There was a small trail of blood on the side of her face, and her tongue was lolling out, but otherwise she looked perfect. I felt something go out inside me, like an old-fashioned TV set being turned off, the picture collapsing to a pinpoint of light before vanishing.
My friend David happened to be driving by and had pulled over. He put Quincy's body—she looked so small—into the back of his truck and drove us to her vet. He met us outside, put a stethoscope to her chest—for one second, I fantasized that she might be alive—then looked up and said, "She was a great dog." He assured me that she had been killed instantly and hadn't suffered. "If you'd kept her on a leash, she would have been miserable," he said. "She died doing what she loved."
When I got home, clutching Quincy's leash and chucker, loaded with a tennis ball still wet from her mouth, and spotted her water bowl and "Foxy," her favorite stuffed toy, I cried for the first time. And after calling Charlotte to give her the terrible news—she didn't blame me, though I did, torturing myself—I didn't stop crying for the next two months, it seemed, a child again as I repeated to no one in particular, "I just want my dog back." A hole had been torn in my life, and I sensed Quincy's absence like a phantom limb, still expecting her to greet me when I walked through the door by scurrying back and forth between my legs. I found myself stunned to see the world go on around me as, out-of-synch, I plodded heavily through a sped-up city. One afternoon, at Trader Joe's, as I reached for some turkey bacon, I remembered how I used to always cook a few extra strips so that I could share with Quincy—"One for you, one for me" —and I burst into tears.
Months after Quincy's death, I was still struggling to get through the days. All the losses over all the years—from Charlotte back to Lou—seemed to hit me at once. It scared me, and I feared that I might end up back in the hospital. Nothing—therapy, medication, exercise—seemed to help. Then one night, I had a dream during which I somehow entered Quincy's body as she ran after the deer toward her death, and as hard as I tried to stop her, realized that I was powerless. For whatever reason, something lifted after that. As both a ritual of mourning and a sign of devotion, I got a "Q" tattooed over my heart.
Well-meaning friends and family started asking when I was going to get another dog, and I told them: "Never." I believed that my grief was the only thing keeping Quincy alive. Even thinking about replacing her felt like a betrayal. I told myself that I would compare a new dog to Quincy, and that she would be found wanting. More than anything, though, I didn't feel that I deserved a dog. As far as I was concerned, my heart was closed for business.
But over the fall, I started keeping an eye on the websites of two local rescue organizations, which post pictures of animals available for adoption—sort of like Tinder for dogs, though they don't have the option of swiping left. Telling myself that I wasn't committing to anything, I put in applications at both places. I explained how Quincy had died, acknowledging that, though it had been an accident, I had made a terrible error in judgment. Even if it meant getting my applications rejected, I felt that I had to lay it out—it had happened, and it was now a part of who I was.
A few months later, I decided to write about Quincy, and as I started making notes, I thought, This story is too sad. It needs a happy ending. And so do I. On the website of a rescue organization called Muddy Paws, I saw a picture of a scruffy little schnauzer-terrier mix, rescued from the streets of Puerto Rico, whose most adorable feature, among many, was her ears, one of which stands straight up while the other flops to the side. Her name was listed as "Shaky," and when I went to pick her up, I saw why: she was so frightened that she was literally shaking. But by the time we got home, she had stopped, and that night she slept on my bed curled up in the hollow of my shoulder. As it happens, I'm the shaky one—she seems so tiny and fragile and the world so big and menacing, and when I walk her, I keep her leash wrapped twice around my wrist and view all drivers as maniacs.
She's a very different dog from Quincy—she's more delicate, less monomaniacal, and, unlike Quincy, who followed her own muse, she never takes her eyes off me. But I see little flashes of Q in her, especially when she bounds after a tennis ball or fixes me with an impudent stare or turns a book I'm reading into a pile of confetti. My friends are delighted that I have a new companion, and she's already become a star on social media. Women on the street have started smiling at me again, and I've started smiling back. I still miss Quincy every day, but it turns out that a heart is large enough to accommodate joy and sorrow at the same time. Charlotte has a new dog, too, a feisty little terrier mix, and we text each other pictures and trade anecdotes. She named her dog Percy, after the dog in Mary Oliver's poem. I named mine Grace.

At Keystone we do things differently, and have since we first opened our doors in 1996. This different way means focusing on you, our customer, and building RVs that are much more than great floor plans and prices. It starts with innovative products that are built tough, and doesn't stop there. It's our commitment to provide a better ownership experience. We understand that when you put your hard earned money down, you expect your RV to deliver as promised. That's why "Building Adventures for the Long Haul" is more than just a slogan here at Keystone; it is our number one mission each and every day. It's the reason today we are honored to say we have nearly one million Keystone owners out on the open road who we consider family.

O Lord, you have been our refuge throughout every generation. Before the mountains were born, before you gave birth to the earth and the world, you were God. You are God from everlasting to everlasting. Indeed, in your sight a thousand years are like a single day, like yesterday—already past—like an hour in the night. Each of us lives for 70 years—or even 80 if we are in good health. But the best of them bring trouble and misery. Indeed, they are soon gone, and we fly away. Teach us to number each of our days so that we may grow in wisdom. Let the kindness of the Lord our God be with us. (Psalm 90:1, 2, 4, 10, 12, 17 GWT)

It really is the type of painting that usually goes to big auction houses like Christie's or Sotheby's. But, due to the fact they are embroiled in law suits, it is gone to Montreal. The cup has the highest starting price - and is anticipated to fetch far more than $200,000 (£120,500) at auction.Detective Constable Amanda Carver, who led the investigation on behalf of Wiltshire Police, mentioned following the verdict: 'The 3 offenders worked together in their program to defraud by making use of foreign primarily based fake credit cards to pay for useful jewellery at a quantity of high-profile auction houses.Rauschenberg, who died in 2008 and whose perform is the subject of a main retrospective that opened this month at Tate Modern, was an outspoken critic of auction houses and the outsize earnings from which artists have been excluded, making Ms. MacLear, who will turn out to be a vice chair of Sotheby's fine arts division, an uncommon choice.Look at completed listings. This permits you to see how a lot of of a particular item has sold, when they were sold, and how considerably they sold for. If you have the eBay app on your mobile device, this can be especially beneficial if you are at a retailer or garage sale and are unsure about whether or not to buy one thing.The houses also have gargantuan marketing and advertising expenses. The Giacometti was splashed across the pages of newspapers and magazines ahead of the sale, and promoted with a lavish catalogue. It would have been presented to potential bidders in the ideal possible light the auction houses are identified to ship works to collectors' houses ahead of the sale to let them live with the art" for an hour or two. At Christie's, premium consumers from China have been flown to New York and wined and dined for days.Thanks to popular Television shows, most of us are familiar with what goes on at auctions. But that doesn't imply we'd be pleased with the concept of bidding at a gun auction. If you are completely comfy about the prospect of bidding at auction, set oneself a price range and stick to it - it's all too simple to get sucked into bidding that rises by only £50 or so, but this can quickly turn out to be high-priced.If you look on the Tesla website, a utilised Model S can commence at about $50,000. This will net you a 60-kWh version with about 30,000 miles or an 85 kWh version with about 40,000 miles. Most of these cars are rear-wheel drive autos that had been traded in for the all-wheel drive version with Autopilot. If you prefer an all-wheel drive Tesla, you are most likely going to be paying tens of thousands much more.Whilst several collectors purchase from galleries all through the year, these rates remain private the auctions are for that reason the single available public bellwether of the art market place in the locations of Impressionist and Modern performs as nicely as in the Postwar and Modern category.

GENEVA -- Mercedes-Benz is tapping into the popularity of ultraluxury crossovers, with a new Maybach SUV that can ferry passengers over desert dunes with an open top and thermal cupholders.
The Mercedes-Maybach G-class 650, shown at the Geneva auto show, will be the world's most expensive SUV with a price of about $500,000. It's Daimler's latest extension of the top-of-the-line Maybach marque that it resurrected amid surging demand for higher-end models.
Limited to a run of 99, the SUV will have a V-12 engine and a landaulet style, with a front row that's covered and a retractable fabric roof in the back.
"This car meets the highest demands for luxury and yet still has all the elements that make the G class a real off-roader," said Gunner Guethenke, who heads Mercedes's SUV business. Customers who buy the marque's G class -- the segment is named for Gelaendewagen, the German term for all-terrain vehicles -- are looking for something "unique," he said.
Under pressure to foot the soaring bill of developing electric cars, autonomous-driving features and ride-sharing platforms, Daimler is more aggressively targeting ultra-wealthy customers with high-margin models on the one hand, while also adding more affordable cars that sell in large volumes. That strategy helped Mercedes unseat rival BMW Group as the world's best-selling luxury marque last year and allowed Daimler to boost its research and development budget by almost a quarter.
Maybach revival
After struggling for years to sustain a niche for Maybach, Mercedes revived the 1930's-era subbrand in 2014 and has since expanded it with more opulent and spacious adaptations of popular models, such as convertible and three-row stretch limousine versions of the Mercedes S-class sedan.
The Maybach G650, which will test customers' appetite for a full-production SUV from that marque, will have an electric -- and dimmable -- glass partition to separate passengers from the driver, retractable footrests and folding tables hidden in the middle console. To master truly rugged terrains, the vehicle is positioned almost half a meter (1.6 feet) above the ground. It'll be available for sale after September.
Exotic versions
Daimler isn't alone in chasing after the lucrative rewards of luxury SUVS. Bentley introduced the $229,100 Bentayga last year, currently the industry's priciest off-roader in regular production. Rolls-Royce too is set to release its first 4x4 vehicle with an anticipated price tag of more than $400,000 next year.
The boxy G class has been around since 1979. With a rugged exterior that's reminiscent of Land Rover's now discontinued Defender, the iconic car is Daimler's most expensive passenger vehicle, priced from $122,400. Production last year surpassed 20,000 units for the first time.
Mercedes has a history of launching exotic versions of the G class. There's a sporty version sold by the performance-focused AMG subbrand, which makes up half of all sales. The G63 AMG 6x6, a three-axle show car unveiled in 2013, had a pick-up load area behind a cabin that housed four electrically adjustable, heated and ventilated individual seats. Almost 200 of the 379,000-euro cars were built.
The carmaker "has already pushed the boundaries pretty far with the standard G class," said Ian Fletcher, a London-based analyst with forecaster IHS Automotive. "Every time it does, customers just seem to lap it up."

Unit 5: Unbalanced Force (Net Force) Model (UFM)
Learning Targets- What you should know when all is said and done
Everything below is written from the Next Generation Science Standards. See this document for evidence statements that will be followed to demonstrate student understanding.
By the time you finish all labs, worksheets and related activities, you should be able to:
1. Use Newton's 2nd Law to qualitatively describe the relationship
between m and a, F and a, m and F. (e.g., if you double the
mass, the acceleration will…)
2. Given a v vs t graph, draw the corresponding a vs t and F vs t
3. Determine the net force acting on an object by:
a. drawing a force diagram for an object given a written
description of the forces acting on it.
b. resolving forces into x and y components, then finding the
vector sum of the forces.
c. analysis of the kinematic behavior of the object.
4. Solve quantitative problems involving forces, mass and
acceleration using Newton's 2nd Law.
a. Having determined the net force (as in #3), and given the
mass, find the acceleration.
b. Continue to use the kinematical models from unit III to
determine the velocity or displacement of the object, once the
acceleration is known.
Unit 5- Elevator Lab questions

"Jennifer, you and your team continue to amaze me. The handle in the guest bathroom was broken our HR Manager (Chris) noticed when he arrived Saturday. I had emailed Maggie and she said she would get Tom on it. Just a few minutes ago I received a picture from Chris that it was fixed. He responded with the following. "Those GOC people are the real deal…..they were like a Nascar pit crew getting it taken care of." Thought you might like to know and pass it onto you great staff. Your can-do personality shows through your people and your business. Thanks to all!"
-Earl S., Sea Coast Gardens III
"Wendell and I want to thank all of you for the stellar job you have done over the years handling our New Smyrna Beach Home. The work you have done, the challenges you have so gracefully resolved and the snafus you have overcome are all testament to GOC's commitment to providing excellent service to owners and clients. As of today our little home has new owners. We have encouraged them to look to GOC if they decide to put the house in the rental market. Again our heartfelt thanks to everyone for your job well done."
-Vicki and Wendell W., Atlantic Beach Escape Bethune
"I want to thank the GOC team at SCG! I was expecting a bad scene inside my condo when I arrived for the first time after Irma. My impression was the exact opposite. The condo was in wonderful shape considering a hurricane hit and there was significant water intrusion into the unit. It is obvious that the GOC team worked to keep my place in good shape. Your team did a great job! I'm very impressed. I can't imagine the chaos that had to be going on….Again, that is very much appreciated so THANK YOU!"
-Scott S., Sea Coast Gardens II
"I just want to say your company has already exceeded my expectations! I will be sure to let everyone I know who may be looking for a great management company to contact you. My past experience was awful and I have been very pleasantly surprised by your fast responses and professionalism."
-Roxanne S., Oceanwalk
"I have been very happy with their services. So much in fact, I will continue to work with them in the new condo we're currently purchasing."
-Tami B. Oceanwalk
"I purchased my NSB condo in 2007. Shortly after I began renting it through the rental company at the condo itself. For the next 2 years I was so frustrated with poor communication, my unit being empty most of the time and the general lack of enthusiasm or knowledge from the managing rental company. I decided in 2010 to not rent anymore. For the next few years I didn't rent or rented it myself. I honestly was scared to even begin to think about getting another rental company. Jennifer happened to own a unit in the same complex as myself. I heard her at several complex meetings asking questions that I myself needed answers to. Sometime after that I heard that she had opened a rental company. Honestly I was scared to even rent again but the more I heard her at board meetings the more impressed I was. So in 2013 I decided to try again, called Great Ocean Condos and have never looked back. I signed my paperwork with Great Ocean Condos and will never forget the first week I had my unit rented for the next 3 months. I will never forget the friendliness and efficiency of all I encountered that first few weeks. Even today it continues. Everyone is friendly, knowledgeable, eager and helpful. I can call or email anytime day or night and always get a prompt answer to any question or problems. GOC's truly cares about owners and renters and wants us all to succeed. My only regret is the few years I wasted not allowing GOC's to manage my unit. It stays rented most of the year, not only Winter and Summer but those months in the Fall when most complex units are empty. Jennifer is amazing at what she does, it shows through her success in her company, happy owners, and happy renters. My ONLY recommendation is Great Ocean Condos. I look forward to many more years of a successful rental company/owner partnership.
–Terry H., Sea Coast Gardens
"I just wanted to take a minute to thank Jennifer for her email earlier this afternoon! It was wonderful that she took the time, in the middle of everything, to communicate with owners! It was extremely thoughtful and certainly something I did not anticipate!! Just knowing that your eyes and ears are on the ground is a big relief. I only wish Surfside's board had been as thoughtful. Thanks again, and I hope everyone at GOC stays safe and weathers the storm without incident."
-Judy D., Surfside
"Thank you Jennifer for the update. It really makes us feel better to get any information about our beloved homes. It's hard to be so far away."
-Kristen B., Sea Coast Gardens III
"Thanks so much for your efforts- glad you guys are on board!"
-Bill and Mary L., Sea Coast Gardens II
"Jennifer, Can't thank you enough. Dianne explained all you did to prepare our property for the hurricane. You went above and beyond and, believe me, on behalf of all owners, your work is so appreciated. I do believe that through your proactive stand you saved our owners a great deal of money that they may have had to pay in damages."
-Carol V., Sea Coast Gardens III
"Thank you for your help & timely communication. Being a new owner, we're totally clueless worried. So your communication & possible advice is coveted. Keep the Team SAFE! We look forward to hearing from you, when inspections are complete. Thank you to the GOC Team!"
-Mark B., Sea Coast Gardens II
"Jennifer, thank you and the team for your hard work and care about the property. Most importantly, please take care of yourselves–we are glad that you have gotten yourselves out of harm's way to the extent possible. We will continue to have good thoughts for you and all residents effected by the storm. Please keep us posted."
-Kent and Susan D., Sea Coast Gardens II
"GREAT update Jennifer!!!! THANKS for ALL you have done to help protect SCG!!!!!"
-Dan S., Sea Coast Gardens II
"Thanks so much to all of you!! It means so much that you are doing what you can to secure our properties."
-Pam T., Sea Coast Gardens II
"Jennifer, thank you for your diligence on behalf of all! Please be safe as you seek to advise us on the status of our community!"
-Michael M., Sea Coast Gardens II
"Thank you Jennifer, Jenny and team. Your attention to this storm and info later are much appreciated. Get safe and sound, and be careful coming back into the unknown."
-Mike H., Sea Coast Gardens II
"Jennifer, Thank you and all those that stayed behind to secure our condos and complex grounds. It is greatly appreciated. Please stay safe."
-Shannon M., Sea Coast Gardens II
"Perfect…..you amaze me. Thank you so much……. I see you and ALL you do."
-Earl S., Sea Coast Gardens III
"We are so lucky and very grateful to you and the entire team joining our condo!"
–Diane D., Sea Coast Gardens II
"We couldn't be happier with our decision to use Great Ocean Condos to manage the rental of our oceanfront condo in New Smyrna Beach, FL. Being new to the rental business, we greatly appreciated the suggestions and advise they gave regarding upgrades to the condo, decorating, and marketing. We took several of their ideas, invested in our condo, and realized a return that was three times what we had received from our previous management company. In addition to the fantastic income they have generated for us, their professional staff has been very friendly and helpful every time we have had an issue or concern. They have gone out of their way to make sure our condo is maintained and in good repair, and their customer service to our guests is second to none. We would definitely recommend Great Ocean Condos for the management of your vacation rental, and we look forward to many more profitable years to come."
–Harold and Kim H., Ponce de Leon Towers
August 6, 2016 – "I feel so comfortable with The Great Ocean Team managing the property, especially as my career keeps me on the road all the time!"
–David K., Hacienda del Sol II
July 27, 2016 – "My daughter and her family are staying at our condo next week, and she forwarded me the e-mail you sent her with the link to your new app. Very cool! I just wanted to say that I like your innovations and how you are constantly working to update your marketing along with the times. I also appreciate the great job you have done keeping our condo rented this year."
– Kim H., Ponce de Leon
June 7, 2016- "I noticed that you have already posted our new pictures on your site, as well as the VRBO site. I just want to thank you and say that you have done a fantastic job. It looks great and should really help with the marketing."
-Kim H. , Ponce de Leon
"In dealing with rental properties, I've made some bad decisions and a few good ones. One of the best was when I gave one condo to Great Ocean Condos to manage. After on site management for several years, the move to GOC was a huge relief. Like others, I wish I had done it much earlier. Every call is received with exceptional courtesy and a "can do" attitude. The little things are covered without bother–plus they have excellent resources for the big things. I have been especially pleased with accounting. Every detail is dealt with promptly and the client properly informed. In a culture of impersonal merchandising it is refreshing to find a company who does it right!"
–Charles C., Ebb Tide
"I am new to condo ownership and spent considerable time researching management companies. This was especially important to me as I travel quite a bit. I found a perfect match in Great Ocean Condos. Not only do they perform exceptionally in the marketing arena, they are true professionals at managing the process of communications and logistics for the guests. Their response time to potential guests and to myself is amazing, and follow-up is top notch….no stone is left un-turned. I feel extremely comfortable having turned over my beach home to Great Ocean Condos. I am in the hospitality business and am delighted in knowing the condo is being managed by a team of professionals who provide five star service."
– David K., Hacienda del Sol II
"I put several condominium units that I own under the management of Great Ocean Condos ("GOC") in 2012. I had worked with onsite property managers and other outside management companies prior to that time and found that I was continually disappointed. Since joining The Great Ocean Team, I have been extremely pleased with their reliability and professionalism. I find that all of their members are very courteous and truly knowledgeable in determining how to get the best return from my vacation property investments. I wouldn't trust anyone else to manage these condominium units. I find that they take genuine care in managing my properties and are always there for me when I have questions or concerns. I am pleased with the level and quality of the business that they have developed and I encourage them to keep up the excellent work!"
–Richard D., Ponce de Leon Towers
"During this season of thanks, I wanted to express my gratitude for you and your team and all you have done to make my first year in the vacation rental property "business" a success! My goal was simply to cover expenses by having my house rented 25 weeks, but with your help we're at 29 weeks and counting! I'm thrilled we already have four reservations on the books for 2016. I really could not have done this without your team!"
–Rebecca P., Turtle Mound Treasure
"Thanks for everything… I really appreciate all you have done over the past couple years."
— Rick D., Sea Coast Gardens
"Thanks for all you do and please keep the rentals coming! Have a great day."
— Sheri K., Sea Coast Condominium
"GreatOceanCondos.com is by far the best management company in New Smyrna Beach. Two years ago we made the switch from onsite management and they have more than doubled our income over our previous management company; but that's not all! We always worried whenever we were on vacation or out of the country, "what will we do if something happens at the condo?", but not with Great Ocean Condos. If we need anything or our guests need anything, they are always available. We know they will handle all aspects of our guests stay including booking, cleaning, taxes, maintenance- you name it. We are so glad we found them. "
— Liberto and Carmela G., Hacienda del Sol II
"Thank you! After reading through all documents we are even more excited to be working with you. You certainly have all the bases covered and have thought through everything. We are so grateful to Chris Garvin for recommending you. We will keep you updated as things move along."
— Angela, Potential Owner
"We appreciate the way Great Oceans handles this business. Thanks for all."
— Michael M., The Wave
"We just passed the 1-year-anniversary of purchasing Flounder House and having GOC take care/manage of our place this past year. We've been extremely satisfied with all the hard work that the GOC team has done over the past year and appreciate how everyone responds promptly to any questions or concerns that we've had."
— Stephen W., Flounder Beach House
"You guys are great…thank you!"
–Kim H., Ponce de Leon Towers
"We really appreciate all you do for us and the wonderful service GOC provides. Thanks so much!"
–Joyce M., Oceanwalk
"I just wanted to thank everyone at GreatOceanCondos.com. I am now in my second year of using your rental company. I wish I had switched sooner! I was using my condo association rental management company and had so many problems and finally made the switch. I have never been disappointed. My unit has been consistently rented even through the Fall and Winter. I love that you handle everything pertaining to renters and even have a maintenance department that handles all the small problems. It is so easy to call or email anytime day or night and I have always gotten a prompt reply from someone knowledgeable and friendly. I would encourage any owner who wants to rent their unit to make the move to GreatOceanConodos.com. I highly recommend GOC and am so happy doing business with you!"
–Terry H., Sea Coast Gardens
"…You all do a good job and I am VERY impressed."
— Earl S., Sea Coast Gardens III
"I just want to thank you for the great photos you have posted for our home. They really show well, and thanks to all the staff for the work you do with bookings."
— Wendell W., Atlantic Beach Escape Bethune
"Thank you for your help. Great Ocean Condos has wonderful customer service!"
— Laura B., Castle Reef
"Wow! You all are incredible! We've never thought rentals and rates like what you're getting were possible. Our on-site manager couldn't hold a candle to what you are doing. Thank you much, "
— Dana W., Seascape Towers
"Thanks!!! Great job; as usual!"
— Joyce S., Oceanwalk 9
"Thank you for the detailed response. I appreciate all your staff hard work and continued efforts to keep my condo rented. It's important at this time for me to keep rented as much as possible, and they do a very good job in accomplishing this."
— Jayne C., Shorehom by the Sea
"Hi GOC Folks! …you have been so gracious in finding us winter renters for January and February. You always treat us so well and give such great service! Thanks for all you do!…Thanks for being so kind and helpful…see we always talk about what great service you give us, and here is another example."
— Joyce and Chuck M., Oceanwalk 1
"Thanks for the great rental! Happy New Year!"

"Hi Jennifer, Kristen, Maggie and the entire Great Ocean Condos team. My husband Alan and I just want to thank you for all your hard work. Last year we purchased two condominiums at Seacoast in NSB. We were unsure who to use to help us rent our units and our realtor recommended Great Ocean Condos. We are so glad she did! You are a wonderful team of professional, experienced and hard-working individuals. We have recommended you to other owners who are looking to rent their places and will continue to do so. If or when we have a question you respond immediately. Our renters are extremely pleased as well. Thanks again for all you do! Kindest Regards."
— Sheri & Alan C., Seacoast Condominiums
"Melody – Thanks for the update. We are glad to have this repaired and to have the G.O.C. staff keeping our condo in good working order. Thanks again."
— Jerry and Jeanette B., Oceanwalk 5
"Jessica and all, Thank you for sending this along. We so much appreciate the GOC team's help with our problem. Wendell and I really care that our renters enjoy the same caliber of accommodations that we would expect if we were staying in the house. We are looking forward to the final phase of renovations in the fall. That will ensure that everything about the house is updated and inviting. Thanks again for all you do for us."
— Vicki W., Atlantic Beach Escape Bethune
"Hello Jennifer (and staff), Hope you are all well! Our unit is officially listed for sale. I will not be renting anymore, pending the sale. Our agent will have some open houses and family may come for one last visit before its gone. I hope it doesn't take too long! …I don't know if new owners will rent or not, but if they plan to I will certainly include the GOC info with any information I give them. Thank you for all your excellent service. Can you believe its been 7 years? I'll keep in touch and let you know when we find a buyer. Thanks again, for everything!"
— Kathy M., Sea Coast Gardens
"Wow… thanks for sharing this positive feedback. We have really tried to keep the unit very clean. We recently invested in all new linens for the master bedroom that look really nice, too. Thanks again. Our rentals appear to be higher so far this year over last year… keep up the good work GOC!"

the staff at GOC are doing a fantastic job for Linda and I. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK !!!!"
— Gary and Linda B., Oceanwalk
"Greetings Kristen, The website ad is terrific–didn't know the place looked so good! Only one thing in amenities–we did reluctantly agree for pets under 20 lbs. I think the list said "No". The written description is very well done–most appealing. Very interested to see the response. Been most impressed with GOC's promptness and professionalism. Looking forward to a pleasant relationship."
— Charles C., Ebb Tide
"As of today the new owners start their move in to The Pelican in our condo. Allow me to say THANK YOU for all the work you guys have done. You have been excellent partners and we can't tell you how much we appreciate all your hard work. You guys are excellent at what you do. God bless."
— Hank and Margaret V., The Pelican

"It has been a pleasure working with you all over the past year and I will definitely recommend your company if I ever have the chance."
– Kim H., Oceanwalk 10
"Team, We just returned from our condo May 7th, after a 7 day stay. We weren't sure what to expect because it had been 6 months since our last visit to our second home. Also, being in the rental program Jennifer convinced us to promote as, "pet friendly." We were nothing but very pleased the way everything looked and no trace of FIDO anywhere. Thanks for doing an outstanding job! We contacted our cleaning person and thanked her also. We did have the dryer replaced and for future reference, we purchased four different type light bulbs and are storing them in kitchen pantry closet and a.c. filters in the laundry room. Should be more than enough for now and if not too much trouble I would like the a.c. filter changed monthly. Once again, thanks, and please forward to all the staff."
– Mark and Pat P., Oceanwalk 12
"Hi Kristen, THANK YOU, many times over, for your work to answer all my questions, and for your editing of the advertisements!… Again, thank you for helping us with advertising our place."

" Hi Jennifer, I hope your week is going well. I want to thank you again for answering the phone and getting me the key late Tuesday night, you are a lifesaver! Thanks again."
– Brian P., Shorehom by the Sea
"Thanks again and we greatly appreciate how you all are very communicative and a phone call away. If you don't already know this it does set you apart from others."
– Ken and Suzy O., Towers Grande
"We really do value GOC and appreciate all that you do for us in securing rentals for our property and taking care of all of the extras that go along with that. We love our condo and can't wait until the time comes when we can retire and move into our condo permanently. Until then, it is vital that we rent it as much as possible and it would be next to impossible for us to do this without your assistance. All of you, on the GOC team, are great and we are extremely pleased with the service you provide and the personal customer service we receive! Thanks again for all you do!!!"
– Joyce V., Oceanwalk 1
"So far I am very pleased with your company. I am happy that my condo has been rented so frequently and hope it continues. Thank you. "
-Lisa M., Sea Coast Gardens
"Just want you guys to know that we would not have been able to get this renovation if we didn't change management rental companies. You guys have done such a great job and thank you for all your hard work!"
-Judy T., Sea Coast Gardens
"We are extremely satisfied with our new experience with greatoceancondos.com. Since meeting with your staff personally at our condo this May and engaging your services our rentals immediately increased by 50% from our previous rental agency. The quality of the photos taken and the suggested publication on Home A Way is and will be a great help in gaining rentals. We can not offer enough praise concerning the personality, help and friendly attitude of all your staff. Your website photos and write up are fantastic and very informative. In reading your web publication of our condo at Oceanwalk we learned many things that would increase our rentals especially the fact that our guests can obtain items such as beach chairs, boogie boards, tennis equipment etc. for their use while at Oceanwalk at their office simply by placing a security deposit on those items needed. Your 24 hour service is a great plus in gaining rentals or helping our rental guests with any problems or concerns. The only regret that we have is not switching to greatoceancondos.com sooner."
–Gary & Linda B., Oceanwalk
"I have had my property placed for rental during this season, and am happy with the services rendered. I get my funds in a timely fashion and have no delays with mail service. They are professional in their analysis of the market and have been successful with other clients. I was recommended to them by a friend Realtor there. I live in Georgia and am a real estate broker both here and in Florida. My background gives me the knowledge to know professionals who earn their reputation by serving their clients, knowing that the word will pass to others, giving them an edge on the market for their services. I look forward to continual business with them to keep my place rented to reach my desired potential income in the future."
–Pat H., The Pelican
"The staff at Great Ocean Condos is really nice people and they will get the job done. As owners who rent, we can't keep up with our rentals! They have very good customer service and market well."
–Michael and Julie C., Seaward
"I can't express how happy we are with the service we are receiving from Great Ocean Condos. We have only been with GOC a few months but already have seen an increase in the amount of condo guests. We are experiencing rentals at times when our condo previously sat empty. At one time the in-house rental service was adequate, but as time changed our rental service stayed in the past. Great Ocean Condos has done it through aggressive advertising, up-to-date owner's communications and professional business manners, we couldn't be happier."
-Jerry and Judy A., Sea Coast Gardens III
"We are new members of the "GOC" family and the sign up was easy, professional, and has already resulted in rentals of our unit. We're pleased we made the decision to go with GOC."
-Susan and Kent D., Sea Coast Gardens II
"I don't want to spoil you by bragging on you to much, but you have done us a great job. Thanks to all."
-Jim and Betty R., Hacienda Del Sol II
"We have owned our condo for 14 years, and have had 3 other rental management companies before we signed up with GreatOceanCondos 2 and a half years ago. For the 10 years prior to GOC, we NEVER even made enough revenue to cover our expenses, much less break-even. In the first 2 full years with GOC, they generated 2 to 3 times the rental income we had ever gotten before, and we have been cash flow positive (and then some) for both years. What else can I say – they do an amazing job of promoting and renting our condo! We recently added a second property, and they've been renting it like gangbusters! (Hint – if you ever want to use your unit, you'd better book it out early!)
Working with GOC has been absolutely excellent – they are super-responsive, always getting back to us immediately regarding any issue that has come up, and they have taken great care of us and our guests. We have turned two other owners on to GOC who are also very happy with them. Since GOC is focused solely on rental management, our guests don't have to deal with agents who are also busy selling properties, so they get the service they need without standing in line. At first I was concerned about using the "lockbox" check-in system instead of a local check-in office, but it has never been a problem, and in fact works very well. Jennifer her team will tell you exactly how to set up your unit to maximize its appeal, and my advice is to just do what they tell you to do – it's been working. Their office/phone staff is great, too, going out of their way to keep us informed and to make sure everything that needs to be done gets done. Kudos to Maggie, Kathi, Kelly, and Steph – we've dealt with all of them over the last two and a half years. Yes, I sound like a fan boy, but the bottom line is, they are night and day compared to any other rental management company on the beach."
-David G., Atlantic Beach Retreat Bethune
"GreatOceanCondos has generated more money for me than any property manager ever did – which I greatly appreciate. They have a great staff that is very dedicated to excellent service for the owners and I am sure the renters are well taken care of also."
–Pamela P., Seaward
"We signed on with Great Ocean in May 2011 after buying a condo in Oceanwalk. We heard they were the best management company in New Smyrna Beach. We heard correctly! We have been very happy with everyone and they have more than lived up to our expectations on keeping our unit rented. We have not had any problems and they are all willing to help out our guests with anything they need. Keep up the good work Great Ocean!"
–Bill and Debbie M., Oceanwalk
"I am very pleased with Great Ocean Condos and their services. The staff is warm, friendly and always accessible. The administration is very organized and consistent in their reporting. They are aggressive in their approach and very conscientious to keep my unit rented. I really appreciate that. They really deliver what they promise. Their input of how to improve my condo and make sure my unit meets the renter's expectation has been extremely helpful."
–Dr. Faith F., Golden Arms
"The staff at Great Ocean Condos are amazing. They do a wonderful job of renting our place and are always available to give us any assistance we may need. We moved from Florida 3 years ago and still have our condo at the Pelican. They have been lifesavers for us. We could not be happier with their services."
–Hank and Margaret V., The Pelican
"Our experience with greatoceancondos has been a positive one. The staff is very helpful, our bookings have increased and the on line pictures have been a big selling point. We are glad we switched and started using them for our rental mtg. group."
–Gene and Sherrie S., Errol by the Sea
"We want to say that you and your staff do a terrific job. Since switching to Great Ocean Condos early last year to manage our property we have had more rentals, receive statements that are itemized and received less phone calls in regards to issues at the property. We know we made the right decision and think you guys are the best. Thank you and your staff for managing the Condo for us at Ocean Walk. It is truly a pleasure."
–Casey and Karen L., Oceanwalk

By Randy Heflin, ANAD DOIMJuly 12, 2018
ANNISTON ARMY DEPOT, Ala. -- Dan Bradford, the new Army Materiel Command Chief Information Officer, held an Information Technology Senior Leader Summit in Huntsville the third week of June.
The event was attended by the AMC G6 Team and major subordinate command CIO senior leaders, to include the new Tank-automotive and Armaments Command CIO, Stephanie Tice.
As part of the event, Bradford chose to bring the attendees to Anniston Army Depot on June 21.
He wanted the team to observe how imbedded IT has become in industrial processes, since most attendees had never observed heavy industrial operations such as those performed here.
ANAD provides AMC with a good opportunity, due to its close proximity.
The team toured the Combat Vehicle Repair Facility, which allowed them to get an idea of the many programs that come through ANAD as well as what the disassembly and rebuild processes entail.
In the depot's Turbine Engine Shop, the team got their first real taste of how IT plays a critical role in the industrial process -- from downloading of work instructions to ordering parts.
The final tour stop included a brief on the Industrial Complex Integrated Information Tracker, also known as iCIIT. This locally built program initially began as a visual management tool in Depot Total Asset Visibility.
Local programmers from the depot's Directorate of Information Management have enhanced this tool, so ANAD can now prioritize work load in order of importance and it utilizes a locally built dashboard.
iCIIT is currently deployed to several buildings in the industrial area. It is expected to enhance the installation's cost savings.
Following the tour, the team attended a working lunch and DOIM brief, giving them an understanding of how critical the DOIMs are for daily operational functionality.
From reporting of time and attendance and labor and production to the movement of parts, telecommunications, cyber security, land mobile radio systems, the mail room, printing, computer help desk and field support, server management (both mission and baseline), local network administration, IT contract management and purchasing, fiber management, iPads and iPhones, etc., DOIM is an integral part of the installation's infrastructure.
Bradford serves as the command's principal, senior level advisor on the strategic direction, objectives and supervision of all issues in command, control, communications, computers and information management (C4IM).
Bradford is the single command-wide official involved in the execution, improved design, modernization, acquisition, use, sharing, performance and termination of information resources.
He has taken a keen interest in ANAD, particularly in our recent network issues.
He has addressed these issues up the chain of command to the Defense Information Systems Agency commanders and increased awareness of what downtime means to heavy industrial operations in loss of revenue as well as decreased readiness.
His recent and brief advocacy has already been instrumental in the improvement of our network and connectivity.
Other issues addressed at the leader summit consisted of Procurement Automated Data and Document System migrations, Risk Management Framework package renewals, a Joint Regional Security Stack/Fire Team to address network issues, cloud migrations, Army Contract Writing System vs. Legacy Sustainment, Windows 10 deployments and much more.
Overall I believe the visit was a great success and ANAD is fortunate to have the AMC team in our corner.
ANAD DOIM looks forward to a very productive relationship with our new AMC CIO and hopes to host future visits.
Special thanks to the command staff; Protocol and the directorates of Production, Production Management, Public Works and Family and Morale, Welfare and Recreation for their support and help in this event.

Rhubarb is something I've learned to love since living in Germany.
Every spring, I look forward to seeing fresh rhubarb arrive in the markets here, and today I'd like to share three of my favorite recipes with you.
Rhubarb Raspberry Orange Crumble
Very easy, quick to make, and oh soooo good!
2 1/2 cups fresh rhubarb, trimmed and chopped
2 cups raspberries
juice and grated rind of one organic orange
3 Tbsp. sugar
Crumble Topping:
1 cup / 125 g flour
1 cup / 100 g oats
1/2 cup / 125 g sugar
1/2 cup / 125 g butter, softened
Preheat oven to 350ºF / 180ºC and butter a ceramic or glass baking dish.
Combine fresh chopped rhubarb, raspberries, orange juice and zest, and sugar in a bowl, and put all in the buttered baking dish.
In a separate bowl, combine flour, oats, sugar, and butter until mixture has a breadcrumb-like texture. Sprinkle crumble topping over the fruit, and bake for about 40 minutes or until golden brown and bubbly.
Serve warm - with whipped cream or ice cream if you like - but also great without.
Rhubarb Ginger Cake (or Muffins)
This simple coffee cake is a snap to make and the batter works perfectly for muffins as well.
2 1/4 cups / 280 g flour
3 tsp. baking powder
pinch of salt
2 Tbsp. finely chopped crystallized ginger
1/2 cup / 125 g sugar
1/2 cup / 125 ml milk
1 tsp. vanilla extract or vanilla sugar
1/3 cup / 100 ml oil
1/2 cup / 125 g sour cream
1 egg
1 1/2 cup rhubarb stalks, trimmed and finely chopped (about 2 stalks)
Ginger Streusel Topping:
4 Tbsp. / 50 g butter, softened
5 Tbsp. flour
5 Tbsp. sugar
1 tsp. ground ginger
Preheat oven to 400ºF / 200ºC. Butter or line a 10-11 inch / 26-28 cm springform pan - or a muffin tin for 12 muffins.
In a large bowl, combine flour, baking powder, salt, and crystallized ginger. In a separate bowl, whisk together sugar, milk, vanilla, oil, sour cream, and egg. Fold in chopped rhubarb.
Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients all at once, and stir until just blended. Spoon batter into prepared springform pan or muffin tin.
Quickly mix together ginger streusel topping ingredients until mixture has a crumb-like texture. Sprinkle on top of cake/muffin batter.
Bake for 35-45 minutes for cake and 15-16 minutes for muffins.
Dust with powdered sugar if desired and serve warm.
Great with your afternoon coffee or tea - or for a special springtime brunch treat.
Rhubarb Strawberry Pie
This delicious free form pie celebrates one of my favorite combinations - rhubarb + strawberries! The filling does tend to bubble over however, so you'll need an extra large pie form or big ceramic quiche dish for baking.
Rhubarb Strawberry Filling:
1 1/2 cups rhubarb, trimmed and chopped
1 1/2 cups strawberries, trimmed and chopped
1/2 cup / 125 g sugar
1/3 cup / 35 g flour
pinch of salt
2 Tbsp. butter
Butter Crust Pastry:
2 cups / 250 g flour
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 cup / 60 g butter
1/2 - 3/4 cup / 125-180 ml milk
1 Tbsp. milk + 1 tsp. sugar for final glaze
Preheat oven to 400ºF / 200ºC. Butter a very large pie dish - or better yet a ceramic or glass quiche or other baking form as this juicy pie has the tendency to bubble over.
To make filling, combine rhubarb, strawberries, sugar, flour, and salt in a large bowl. Set aside.
For pastry, combine flour with salt and butter until mixture forms coarse crumbs. Stir in milk with a fork until dough pulls away from the sides of the bowl. Turn out onto a floured surface and knead briefly until smooth. Roll dough out thinly to from a large free form circle - a good bit larger than the baking dish you are using (you'll be folding over the edges to seal in the filling for this pie).
Carefully transfer dough to prepared pie pan (you can fold it into fourths, then unfold in the pan) - draping the excess dough over the edges of the baking dish.
Spoon the filling into the middle of the pastry, gently spreading it out to fill the bottom of the form. Dot with 2 Tbsp. of butter.
Next, fold over the pastry dough on the sides to encase the filling, lapping over the dough edges in a free from style, and leaving a hole in the middle of the pie for the steam of the filling to escape.
Brush the pastry dough evenly with a tablespoon of milk and sprinkle with a teaspoon of sugar to make a nice final glaze that will make the pastry brown more beautifully as it bakes.
Bake for 15 minutes at 400ºF / 200ºC - then reduce heat and bake for an additional 30-40 minutes or until crust is golden and the filling is bubbly. If you are really worried about the filling bubbling over, you can also bake the pie on a lined cookie sheet.
Let cool for 15-20 minutes and serve warm - delightful with whipped or ice cream.
My family goes crazy over this recipe and the pie always disappears in a flash :)
I hope you and your loved ones will enjoy these springtime rhubarb recipes as well!
Happy holiday weekend to you and all my best,

Optimum Dimensions
OVERVIEWThis an independent project that I undertook after being inspired by a small knick-knack that I purchased at a museum gift shop. The result of this serendipitous find was the design for a multipurpose, modular piece of furniture.
InspirationThe object works on a very simple, but elegent principle: It consists of eight cubes with eight hinges, specifically placed to allow the eight cubes articulate and form to become one large cube or an elongated rectancular hexahedron. Each individual side of the cube is adorned with an image that when articulated combined to eight larger images. The function of the object is to be a take-away that promoted the museum. At the time, I thought it was such a novel concept that it must have potential for other applications.
I discovered that, by introducing an open face and given the right dimensions the concept would have a unique application in furniture in a piece that was not only multifunctional, but extremely modular.
Optimum DimensionsWith the constraint of a fixed proportion of 4x2x1 (LxWxH), the key to taking this novel concept and applying it to a multifunctional piece of furniture is a versatile dimension. By good chance, the OctoCube functions as a coffee table, sidetable, a twin-size bed frame, television stand and multiple shelving configurations; with little compromise with the dimensions of 75"x37.5"x18".
HingesThe hinges are comprise of fabric and dowels. There is a slots in specific edges of the of the individual open face cubes that recieve the fabric hinges. The dowels are then slid into the fabric recesses, holding the hinges into place.
