A recent study has found that young adults whose mothers were heavier before pregnancy and who gained more weight during pregnancy are at higher risk of metabolic problems in early adulthood.
The study of 1400 young adults who were followed-up at 32 years of age found that the children of mothers who were more overweight before pregnancy were more likely to have a higher body mass index (BMI), waist circumference, blood pressure, insulin and triglyceride levels and lower levels of 'good' HDL cholesterol. The children of mothers who gained the most weight during pregnancy were also more likely to have a higher BMI and waist measurement.
These findings add to the growing body of evidence for the impact of a mother's weight and gestational weight gain on the future health of her child. Read more about the study here.

Stackery today announced a plug-in capability that will allow developers to build and debug code destined to run on the Lambda serverless computing service provided by Amazon Web Services (AWS) from within an integrated development environment (IDE) running on a local machine.
Company CTO Chase Douglas said the latest Stackery tool can be dropped into any IDE, either via a Stackery VS Code Serverless Tools Plug-In that automates installation or a manual installation process, regardless of the programming language being employed. The goal is to make it easier for DevOps teams to construct workflows that include AWS serverless computing frameworks, which now are expanding rapidly, he said. In total, the Stackery tools can invoke any one of 86 AWS CloudFormation-compatible resources.

Thread sewn-glued brochures

Thread sewn-glued brochures
Thread sewn binding (or 'sewn with drawn on cover') is very similar to perfect binding. Mainly used in book production requiring more durability than perfect binding. However, the sections are gathered in order, sewn together using thread, adhesive applied to the sewn spine, and the cover attached (drawn on) and formed around the book. Thread sewn binding is mostly used for catalogues of many pages and thick inside paper which have to be suitable for using a long time. If the product needs to have inside paper from 130g we highly recommend to choose thread sewn binding.
Thread sewn binding is also applied when the brochure cover needs to have flaps. Cover with flaps makes the cover thicker as well as makes the book look more sophisticated. Another practical function it may have- flap can serve as a marker while reading a book. Cover with flaps is suitable for novels, product, travel catalogues.

This is horrifying in view of the number of complications that occur when abortions are performed by doctors. What will it be like when they're performed by other "health care professionals." Who are we talking about exactly? Physicians assistants? R.N.s? L.P.N.s? The aide who empties the bedpans? How large was the pilot program that found "low rates of complications?" Suction abortion is a surgical procedure. Who would you want to perform surgery on you or your family?

- Common name: Palmer pigweed
- Scientific name: Amaranthus palmeri
- Grass or broadleaf: Annual broadleaf
- Is native to the southwestern United States, has become a devastating weed problem in the South and has recently spread to the upper Midwest.
- Most competitive and aggressive pigweed species. Season-long competition by Palmer amaranth at 2.5 plants per foot of row can reduce soybean yield by as much as 79 percent.1
- Emerges later than many summer-annual broadleaf weeds, continues to emerge throughout the growing season and can grow 2 to 5 inches in three days or less.
- A single female Palmer amaranth plant can produce approximately 600,000 seeds.
- Ranked the most troublesome weed in the United States by the Weed Science Society of America (WSSA) for 2016.
A fact that may surprise you …
The leaves, stems and seeds of Palmer amaranth are edible and highly nutritious; and the plants were once widely cultivated and eaten by Native Americans across North America, both for the abundant seeds and as a cooked or dried green vegetable.
Fast facts from Jeff Ellis, Ph.D., field scientist, Dow AgroSciences
To correctly identify Palmer amaranth when scouting, look for the following plant-distinguishing features:
- The petioles, especially on older leaves, will be as long or longer than the leaf blade itself.
- Plants sometimes — but not always — have a white V-shaped watermark on leaves. If a watermark is present, this rules out other members of the pigweed family.
- Leaf shape on Palmer amaranth plants are wider than other pigweed species and ovate to diamond shape.
- Individual plants are either male or female, which forces outcrossing and genetic diversity. This gives Palmer amaranth the ability to adapt and quickly produce resistance genes to single-mode-of-action herbicides.
Resistance statistics*
- According to WeedScience.org, herbicide-resistant Palmer amaranth has been documented in corn and soybean fields in 24 states: Alabama, Arkansas, California, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Michigan, Missouri, Nebraska, New Jersey, New Mexico, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia and Wisconsin.
- Since the late 1980s, Palmer amaranth has evolved resistance to six herbicide sites of action: ALS inhibitors (Group 2); microtubule inhibitors (Group 3); Photosystem II inhibitors (Group 5); EPSP synthase inhibitors (Group 9); HPPD inhibitors (Group 27); and, most recently documented in Arkansas and Mississippi, protoporphyrinogen oxidase (PPO) inhibitors (Group 14).
*Resistance confirmation does not necessarily include all weeds and may vary among different areas of each state.
Palmer amaranth control/management tips:
Ellis says:
- In both corn and soybeans, aim to control Palmer amaranth before plants emerge by using a residual herbicide.
- Tank-mix residual herbicides with postemergence herbicides to prevent Palmer amaranth from emerging later in the season.
- Palmer amaranth germinates throughout the season, so it is important to "layer" residual herbicides.
- Growers, especially for soybeans, should always use residual herbicides and avoid having to control Palmer amaranth after emergence because there are very few effective postemergence herbicide control options.
General tips to manage herbicide-resistant weeds
Growers in the Midwest and Midsouth face some of the toughest weed species, including Palmer amaranth, waterhemp, ragweed and marestail. Taking the following steps during the season can help them manage weed resistance issues:
- Develop an integrated weed management plan that delivers multiple modes of action throughout the season. With resistance increasing, the Enlist™ weed control system may allow use of effective postemergence modes of action, including glufosinate in soybeans and a new 2,4-D in corn and soybeans.
- Use full rates of the herbicides during applications. Do not use partial rates or trim back for any reason, including cost.
- Spray when weeds are small. Although it can be challenging because of weather and other factors, this is the ideal application timing.
- Scout fields regularly to identify weeds when they are small and easy to control.

Good News Revue - Summer Solstice
Celebrations of the Longest Day of the Year
First Official Day of Summer
Summer Solstice
all one in the same
are rich in historic and cultural importance.
How are you spending Saturday June 21, 2014; the Summer Solstice?
At approximately 0621 in the morning in the northern hemisphere the earth tilted as close to the sun as it will all year - that's a 23.5 degree angle.
Enjoy more about the science, history and deep cultural connections of the longest day in these additional links.
If ever you were in doubt that there are still good people in the world . . . fear not.
This is a story about one amazing human being - millionaire Harris Rosen. He adopted an entire community in Florida and changed a lot of lives for the better.
He's a true blue cultural hero in our book.
Good News Revue - Birdsong
One friend had just the other day told me this story about his friend. Today I saw it on FB.
I love love love how he saw something different. What a beautiful little melody .
Good News Revue - #Happy
Ah, the power of music ! This is just a beautiful example of a positive vibration catching fire and literally crossing any and every cultural boundary. It proves once again, Love is universal. Happiness is universal. How I caught the wave; first a girlfriend nearly 6,000 miles away writes "Oh, I LOVE that song I've been dancing all over the house!" HMM, I haven't heard the song before. So I pop over to Youtube and check it out. #Happy is quite a catchy tune. Then another friend posts a video of happy for me with a bunch of college students singing the lyrics & dancing with abandon. What was great about this version is that they shot & danced all over Prague and they totally nailed all of the historical & off the beaten path sites of the city : ) Today I happened to see a clip of #PharrelWilliams talking to #Oprah about how this song has swept the globe and he was seeing these videos for the first time. He's got tears in his eyes, just literally overwhelmed by the fact that this song has made more than 35M people happy and prompted tens of thousands to make their own video !
If something is going to go viral online I have an extra special pleasure when it is something that lifts us up, lightens the load, shakes off some of the dust and the rust and shows the best of us. I get that same warm fuzzy feeling listening to #Happy as when I see the postings for the #HumansofNewYork project ( #HONY ). There's something fun about watching people dance. This song touches people in a place that really allows them to let down their guard. It's lovely. It's real. You'll laugh out loud from pure joy of its authenticity. When Pharrel Williams was talking to Oprah about how this song started, he said no one really was interested until his made the video - and noteworthy, it is indeed. It's called Happy - The World's First 24 Hour Music Video. It's just that - 24 hours of that song played out at a gas station and all over with PW and people from everywhere singing it with conviction and dancing with abandon all over their town. This totally peeked my attention because there is only ONE other song in my world that can stand that test - 24hour loop-to-loop playtime. . . .If you're interested, write me a message.
#Happy is really a catchy tune. The videos from around the world show us again how much we're the same inside. Hello Mumbai! Shout out to New York City! It's not even possible to not dance to or at least tap your foot, snap a finger. Rarely it seems, is there that special magic in music that happens when the melody really swings, the singer surprises repeatedly with their lightness and sensitivity and then you realize that every word in the lyrics is a truth that reaches across the miles & millennia. It's like a mantra.
Come along if you feel like a house without a roof
Come along is you feel like happiness is a truth
Come along if you feel you know what happiness is to you
Come along if you'd feel like that's what you want to do
Check out www.24hoursofhappy.com
Enjoy! Special shout out to Pharrel Williams for sharing this with us all . . . . peace.
Just a note, for 'gepgraphic' reasons I was not able to post this video from its original source - The #OprahWinfrey Network (OWN), only from FB. Not all content from the USA is available worldwide. There is much randomness in the sharing, but we can still tell the story and share the love . . .Be HAPPY !
I've wanted to start this thread for a long time. Ever since that wonderful new series came out 'Planet Earth' came out in 2007 or 2008 that went to the most remote parts of the planet and brought back footage of never before filmed birds, insects and other animals of different species actually 'cooperating' with each other to find food or fight a foe or ever care for each other. It made me realize there is a lot more cross cultural help going on in the animal kingdom than we that we could take as a good example . . . Share your thoughts. Here's a video I cam across today . . .
A Musical Interlude
Under construction !
If you have been following this website and Good News Revue blog you may have noticed a lot of changes lately. That's a good thing ! We are definitely under construction so we just wanted to say 'Thanks for being patient while we make permanent improvements.
It's in the Egg stage : ) Happy Easter !
Good Cop, Great Cultural Compass
This story definitely belongs in the Good News Revue. This is an example of the best of us.
Let's view it as a verb.
CULTURE: - to grow in a prepared medium.
Jose Calderon's TED talk is incredibly moving. He talks about working with your hands and working with your mind, language learning, a life of service, family and sharing with the next generation. He's a fan of actively creating the culture you'd like to see . . .listen in.

Humans of New York = Love
This is such a great page on Facebook. Do you know it? It seems there are so few really authentic exchanges between people but every one of these is real and raw and many are truly touching. The comments too from other humans, not only from New York, but from all over the world, are great too !
Enjoy and check it out - there's a website also.
#Fracking = No Bueno
If our pursuit of new energy sources causes large scale environmental damage and other nasty unintended consequences, why is there not the outcry to address it?
Four states have now reported that #Fracking has caused groundwater contamination. So what now?
Will you still remain silent?
This is just one of the many reasons we need a #CitizenWishList to have the conversation.
Words of Wisdom
"There is geometry in the humming of the strings, there is music in the spacing of the spheres." - Pythagoras.
Humor is the Best Medicine
I've said for many years that sometimes we need a dose of humor to have the real conversations necessary to begin to make some adjustments. Here's a comedian that worth his weight in gold.
Introducing . . . . drum roll, Please . . . . Mr. Lee Camp ! He's one of the checks and balances in a democratic system. BTW, so is Russel Brand from the UK and so was Bill Hicks! Check them out on YouTube.
If you are squimish about adult language, please skip this one.
There are more than enough trials and tribulations in life and the world. Focus on what IS working. Work together to make things better. Share the love . . .and this site !
First thing this morning on Twitter I discover that dear Mickey Rooney has passed away at 93 having had an incredible 80 year career in film and entertainment.
R.I.P. Mickey Rooney.
Feeling sad about this passing of another truly wonderful human being I then turn to FB to share this news but find a message from a friend who shared this link about an extraordinary event recently.
Sir Anthony Hopkins composed a beautiful piece of music 50 years ago and heard it for the first time in a surprise performance by Dutch violinist Andre Rieu (who was just in Prague). The music is lovely. It was a beautiful gesture to make this event happen. The piece is called "And the Waltz Goes On'.
I don't know what is more extraordinary; Mickey Rooney's life and personality, the surprise of discovering Anthony Hopkins composed music too or the beauty of sharing . . . My heart is full. Thank you.
He totally cuts thru the noise and offers a no nonsense solution. Bravo! Keep 'em coming!
We LOVE #HONY
. . .authentic photos & bonafide words of wisdom. Citizen wishes, if you will. Why not?

Their support and voice for raising the #MinimumWage is a good act indeed !
Dear Readers:
It was heartwarming to receive many very nice comments this week from you. It takes time to build an audience and well, taking about democracy and getting people excited about engaging in the democratic process is maybe one of the hardest tasks I could have chosen. It's not exactly the sexiest of topics ! I've tried to gain your interest and trust by providing interesting, thought provoking & inspirational articles to show by example the kind of good decisions we could be making more. Apparently . . . it's beginning to work !
Introducing the concept of a #CulturalCompass is a mamouth task. It's new. It's never been tried before. But this hasn't scared me off, it's only made me try harder. Next step - actually really using the idea of a #CulturalCompass as a guideline for decision making - that's what I'd like to see. Decision making that is #ValueBased rather than because of the forces of special interests and the highest bidder for policy, public fiscal spending and new programs. So please continue to enjoy the Good News Revue blog (Hey, there's more than enough negative reporting out there!) and share it with your friends.
If you are truly interested in inventing a better future for us and our children's children, have a good look at the #CitizenWishList Conversation Starter and add your thoughts to that. It is a new tool for engagement in the democratic process. The conversation is just beginning so help to light a fire . . .
Here are a few of the comments received this week . . .
I'm really impressed along with your writing skills and also with the format in your weblog. Is this a paid subject or did you customize it your self? Anyway keep up the nice high quality writing, it's rare to see a great blog like this one nowadays..
I like it whenever people come together and share thoughts. Great website, continue the good work!
I savour, cause I discovered exactly what I used to be having a look for. You have ended my four day lengthy hunt! God Bless you man. Have a nice day. Bye
Nice post. I was checking constantly this blog and I'm impressed! Extremely useful info specifically the last part :) I care for such info a lot. I was looking for this particular information for a long time. Thank you and good luck.
Hi there to all, because I am actually eager of reading this website抯 post to be updated on a regular basis. It contains good material.
Magnificent beat ! I wish to apprentice while you amend your web site, how could i subscribe for a blog web site? The account helped me a acceptable deal. I had been tiny bit acquainted of this your broadcast offered bright clear concept.
It's Been Over 100 Years Since An Artist Has Done This In America. About Time Someone Did It Again.
More than a century has passed since a photographic journey explored Native Americans with such a broad scope and in this amount of detail. In 1906, photographer Edward S. Curtis was commissioned by J.P. Morgan to capture the "disappearing" race.
In 2014, to change perceptions about Native Americans, photographer Matika Wilbur believes we have to update the kind of imagery we're looking at when we think of her race. It's a beautiful — and important — idea.
Stunningly beautiful work to build new cultural bridges and carry this Native American story on for the next seven generations for all.
Thank You Joseph Lamour & Upworthy : Things that matter. Pass 'em on.
Dear Internet,
We're standing with 300+ nonprofits worldwide in demanding an end to mass, suspicionless surveillance.
FACT: The NSA collects on the order of 5 billion phone records each day.
FACT: The NSA monitored phone calls of at least 35 world leaders.
FACT: The NSA is regularly tracking hundreds of millions of devices.
FACT: The GCHQ is developing technology to "exploit any phone, anywhere, any time."
FACT: The Canadian spy agency CSEC tracks users of public wireless access points.
FACT: The NSA has used its surveillance capabilities to spy on private companies outside the US, like Petrobras in Brazil.
FACT: Privacy is a myth.
If you feel your government is abusing its position of power in the name of SECURITY - let your voice be heard (and not just by NSA) to let the few know that this is unacceptable to the majority.

This is one awesome kid! I want to be him when I grow up. This is exactly the type of thing we are trying to convey . . .what is a cultural compass? It's a proactive creation of the life we love. Enjoy the video, share it & say these 20 things more often ! Peace.

If you missed Julie Evans's session with Kari Stubbs, Robert Miller, and Matthew Brown about digital content and games yesterday at ISTE 2015, you can still download our white paper with BrainPOP that explores transformative teaching. Check out some information below:
As the new school year starts, K-12 education leaders all across the country are re-focusing their efforts on providing students with learning experiences that develop the college, career and civic readiness skills so highly coveted by higher education, employers and policymakers. In many districts, this means a significant change in curriculum and classroom teaching methodologies. Not surprisingly, school and district leaders are increasingly interested in exploring new roles for the use of emerging technologies to support this transformation of the classroom learning process.
In this whitepaper we examine the evolving role of digital content to support student learning from the perspective of the classroom teacher and the school principal. Starting with a broad review of digital content use to empower transformed learning experiences, this white paper delves specifically into the emerging role of digital games to both engage students and enable a new classroom environment.
Key Findings include:
- Over one-third of elementary teachers (35 percent) and 1 of 5 middle school teachers (21 percent) report regular usage of digital games within their classroom.
- These game-using teachers see the primary benefit of digital games as increased student engagement in learning (88 percent); 72 percent of digital principals agree.
- Teachers who are using digital games in their classroom have a greater appreciation for the overall impact of technology on student outcomes and teacher effectiveness.
- 60 percent of school principals say that having enough computers or devices with Internet access is a major obstacle to the greater adoption of digital content in their schools.
- Both teachers and school principals share a common set of determinants for evaluating the quality of digital content.

Israel Kleiner
Israel Kleiner was born in Kyiv in 1935. In 1971, he emigrated to Israel. His struggle with the Soviet authorities for permission to leave the country, which lasted more than two years, is described in the seriocomic Anekdotychna trahediia (An Anecdotal Tragedy), published in 1973. From 1972 to 1978, Kleiner worked at the Ukrainian section of Radio Liberty in Munich. While there, he completed master's and doctoral dissertations on the nationality question in the USSR at the Ukrainian Free University. His doctoral dissertation was published in 1978 under the title Natsional'ni problemy ostann'oï imperiï (Nationality Problems of the Last Empire). After returning to Israel, Kleiner worked as a journalist and pursued his interest in the history of Ukrainian-Jewish relations, doing research in European and American libraries and archives. For a time he worked at the Jabotinsky Institute in Tel Aviv. He was the Israel correspondent of the Munich-based Ukrainian journal Suchasnist'. Kleiner's annotated Ukrainian translation of Vladimir Jabotinsky's selected articles on the nationality question was published in New York in 1983 and reprinted in Kyiv in 1991. The Ukrainian version Владімір (Зеев) Жаботинський i українське питання was published in Kyiv in 1995 and nominated for the Shevchenko Prize, Ukraine's major literary award. It won the award of the Ukraine-Israel Association in 1998. From 1984, Israel Kleiner worked at the Ukrainian section of the Voice of America. He passed away in 2008 in Jerusalem.

text: Awakening to Christ Consciousness is the challenge and the immense gift of the Age in which we live. And Metatron is a vast Being emanating directly through the Cosmic Christ from Source; he (she/it – no gender in the angelic realms!) has been described as the Divine Architect, and also as the Science Aspect of The Christ. His presence is amplifying in our time because he carries the sacred geometric tools to deliver the powerful energies of Divine Love directly into our cellular consciousness, and thus to catalyse the shifts for which we have so long prepared ourselves.

We set the Sabbath apart from the six working days, focusing on YHWH and His Word which brings life to those who seek it.
As a group, we understand that everyone has a personal relationship with Elohim (G-d) and that everyone is at different spiritual levels and understanding. Everyone has something to offer and often it is those who are just beginning in their relationship with Elohim that have the most to offer.
Everyone is welcome to come and go as they please. Some may come only for the formal Torah service and others may come only for the discussion but all are welcome at any time for as much or as little as an individual wants to stay.
It's a casual environment with a diverse group of people coming from different backgrounds. Like a big happy family we don't always agree with one another but we do always love each other. The one thing we all have in common and what unifies us as a family is our belief in Torah and the changelessness of YHWH.
YHWH willing, we meet every Shabbat. Click here for Kehilat Yeshua contact information and directions.

text: Johannesburg - Earlier in May, Wheels24 reported that a total of 54 fatal minibus crashes, totalling 84 fatalities, were recorded in Gauteng during the first three months of 2016. Since 2013, the province reports 648 minibus fatal crashes and 857 fatalities. Given the number of taxis used as public transport, the number of pedestrians killed is of great concern - 317. A report by the Gauteng provisional government reveals that almost the same number of pedestrians are killed as vehicle occupants: 85% of pedestrians killed in taxi related crashes occurred in urban areas, 43% of fatal non-pedestrian crashes occurred in urban areas, 25% on freeways, and 32% on main arterial roads.Voting boothWe asked Wheels24 readers 'What do you think is the main cause of minibus taxi crashes?' and our survey garnered 27 341 votes.Reckless driving 81% - 22 215 votesOverloaded vehicles 2% - 468 votesUnroadworthy taxis 11% - 3065 votesUnlicensed drivers 6% - 1593 votesThe majority of readers (22 215 votes) believe reckless drivers are the main cause of minibus taxi crashes. According to our readers, the second highest cause of crashes are unroadworthy taxis (3065) followed by unlicensed drivers (1593) and overloaded vehicles (468).Two people injured after taxi rolls down embankment, Pietermaritzburg https://t.co/8TWADRH6Re #ArriveAlive @ER24EMS pic.twitter.com/yFkFy8fsev— Arrive Alive (@_ArriveAlive) May 25, 2016 Readers respondJohn Calaca: They have no respect for the rules of the road and officers are too scared to approach them. My suggestion is to first start the demerit system on our public transport drivers of buses and taxis.Bggl: Metro Police fear taxi associations and cannot enforce any discipline regarding road laws. Taxi owners must be taken to court and Government must handle it the organisation level. Commuters are scared and abused by drivers. It is not fair to them as customers. Very stiff sentences are required. eNatis will not have any effect. Police should stop wasting time on petty offences by mostly honest drivers and focus on serious contraventions by Taxi drivers. You see it every day but nothing is done. Police fear the mafia SA taxi association. Introduce competition and stop restrictive route practices will also help. Pat Smith: Fatigue. In order to maximise the number of trips per day, drivers are sleep deprived and consequently become cognitively compromised.Jaques Du Preez: It is absolutely ignorant taxi drivers chasing the money who think the road only belongs to them. The business should be regulated and drivers found disobeying the laws of the road must be removed.G Coetzee: They are just plain reckless and there is no consequences for their actions. Everyone they kill should be seen as murder and be arrested for everyone fatality.Portia Mkansi: I was in Tzaneen. I was leaving town and approaching the Magoebaskloof (a mountainous area). There was a vehicle flashing its lights at me. I did not stop as I was driving a car that is mostly used as a taxi (Toyota Condor).READ: Taxi harassment in TzaneenAnother vehicle approached on my right and indicated that they wanted me to stop. They were pushing me towards the right. I simply drove faster. They approached me at high speed. A vehicle at the front and another at the rear forced me to stop. In the two vehicles, there were five men.One person from the the vehicle in front came out and told me to move to the left. I refused and moved my car in such a way that both sides of the road were blocked. Now there were vehicles everywhere and everyone was annoyed because of what was happening. Those guys were so angry and told me "Why am I not driving like a woman?", they identified themselves as the Pilusa Taxi Association and wanted to know who was driving this "taxi". They stopped harassing me when another man came out with a gun and told them to stop.Two taxis collide on the corners of the R55 and R562 in Midrand. https://t.co/A4foiAWgsj @EMER_G_MED pic.twitter.com/LevRxAoMol— Arrive Alive (@_ArriveAlive) May 25, 2016 'Lawlessness among minibus taxi drivers'Arrive Alive editor, Johan Jonck, shares some insights: "From the comments received by the Arrive Alive website we find the frustrations among other road users when it comes to the lawlessness among minibus taxi drivers - especially when the drivers of these vehicles tend to disobey rules of the road in congested traffic."They are often seen doing yellow lane driving or disobeying traffic signs at stop streets and we regularly receive photos and video clips from road users of these actions.. they do not show much patience in congested traffic and the alarming number of head-on collisions is indeed a concern."WATCH: Insane, scary taxi robbery ends in sweet justiceJonck continued: "The only way to address this is, on the one side strict and effective law enforcement - and the continuous building on private public partnerships with industry leaders and the taxi associations..."Out taxi commuters are worthy of protection and more should be done to protect them - it is not simply a question of "banning" these vehicles that are such an essential part of our transport industry... it is also easy to say that commuters must not ride along in an overloaded taxi - but it is not so easy if you are the passenger with limited other transport opportunities available," he concluded.

Dan Speicher | Executive Profile | ATLANTA TREND
From the Cold War to One of Technology's Hottest Fields
By Karen Rosen
Dan Speicher's first job collecting and analyzing data was exhilarating, demanding and, to this day, in many respects classified.
After joining the Air Force in 1982 to help pay for his college education, Speicher scored so well on aptitude tests that he was selected to become an airborne cryptologic linguist.
The Nebraska native, who spoke German and a little Russian, underwent training for about 18 months, then was based in England, where he was assigned to perform reconnaissance onboard intelligence-collection aircraft. Speicher would intercept communications intelligence and translate information about potential enemies to battlefield commanders on line.
"We would get real-time information that essentially identified where the bad guys were located," says Speicher, now the Chief Information Officer at Hughes Telematics." It was a great experience for a young, single guy to fly and then to experience what took place in the Cold War."
From just a few overheard words, Speicher says, he could determine "what kind of plane it was, where they were stationed and probably what they were attempting to do. And back then when we say on line, it was very rudimentary and the size of the onboard computers made the working space very cramped -- it was an exciting, fun time. It was the greatest job I never got paid to perform."
The intelligence Speicher gathered was kept on numerous disk arrays, which were then put into suitcases and taken off the plane after missions because they "didn't want the mission intelligence to get into the enemy's hands."
"There must have been eight to 12 suitcases full of disk arrays, and it was a total of 300 megabytes. It took four to five people to carry those into the building," Speicher says. "And now you have a flash drive that has 20 times as much capacity.
"My kids call me a dinosaur when I tell these stories."
Returning to the U.S., Speicher became an instructor in San Angelo, Texas, where he taught intelligence collection courses and was able to do curriculum development and create tests. He also designed and developed more than 40 computer assisted instructional courses on midrange computer platforms.
"I found it very logical and rewarding to be able to map and then develop a program and see it executed," Speicher says.
Most importantly, he met his wife, another cryptologic linguist with experience in Polish and French. Because Speicher couldn't follow her to Berlin, they decided to leave the Air Force and settle in Omaha.
Back to Civilian Life
Speicher was drawn to software engineering. He discovered in college classes that programming made perfect sense to him. "It was totally algebraic and linear in nature and I like debugging," he says. "I could work on a car for hours and hours and never find what was wrong with the carburetor, but I could certainly debug a program in a few minutes and get to the root cause of the problem."
Speicher joined American Business Lists, now infoGroup, in 1988 when it had barely more than 100 employees. When he left 20 years later, there were close to 5,000.
His first role with the company was in data development, starting with information derived from phone books. Speicher developed tools to allow the company to scan the consumer pages, automating a painstaking manual activity and making it affordable.
"I think we were trendsetters," he says. "We were somewhat revolutionary. We did it by assembling mostly commercial software and tying it all together with a workflow system. I wager that that system we built in '96 is still running today in some form. It really paid for itself in a short amount of time."
When infoGroup shifted its focus to mergers and acquisitions, it was able to find a struggling company, share some of its core services and allow that company to focus on its niche offering while augmenting the core company's services and products. "Very quickly most of those companies turned profits, with just a couple of exceptions," Speicher says "That allowed our company not only to stay profitable, but to grow. "
Known as a specialist in corporate integration, Speicher's role was to build a core set of services that could be shared across the organization, then look for opportunities of leveraging new technology in other parts of the organization. In one example, he says, "We were able to consolidate three or four email businesses into one and we were also able to leverage that email technology throughout all of our products and services."
Further branching out, inforGroup purchased some opinion research companies, owned directory manufacturing companies and would manage marketing data and solutions for very large customers, such as banks.
A Change of Pace
For one year in the mid 1990s, Speicher left the company to work at Mutual of Omaha, which was reengineering its accounting services.
Speicher found the insurance company operated very differently from the fast-paced infoGroup.
"They move very slowly," he says. "They're very organized, they're very methodical, and they're somewhat bureaucratic. To get the decision made, I refer to it as pulling an anvil with a piece of thread. It takes a lot of pulling. You just can't give up and it moves so slowly, but you can do it. It just takes extreme determination and patience."
The culture change was interesting and educational, but Speicher missed infoGroup. "I loved working in a business where you could make a decision in the morning and have outcomes the next day."
He returned to his former firm, where he rose to Chief Technology Officer in late 2005. About three years later, a recruiter called and Speicher was lured to Hughes Telematics by the prospect of working in a start-up. He came on board in September 2008 as CIO.
He admits he was somewhat leery of working in the automobile industry, which at the time was struggling and accepting government money, But when he heard about Hughes Telematics' capabilities, technology and vision, he met the team and was hooked.
"I was really, really impressed when I met them (the leaders of Hughes Telematics) with how focused they were on integrity," Speicher said. "The more I interfaced with them, the more excited I got about this opportunity. I saw its potential as I read more about their vision. I could see the potential of using this technology in a number of different vertical markets."
Hughes Telematics is a leader in implementing the next generation of connected services for the automobile, starting with an onboard, indash solution for Mercedes-Benz called "mbrace" that was released in November 2009.
In-Drive, an aftermarket product, launched with State Farm last September. The small device communicates driver behavior, a characteristic allowing the insurance company to offer discounts for safe drivers.
The technology will be required in California and Speicher sees rental car companies as an avenue for further growth.
Changing Peoples' Lives
The health and wellness space is another area ripe for leveraging telematics solutions.
A Hughes Telematics subsidiary called Lifecomm uses the same back office systems for a telematics device that will launch later this year. People can wear it around their necks, on a belt clip or as a wristwatch. Speicher says some people compare it to a Dick Tracy watch.
"If you're an elderly person and were to fall, we have sensors in the devices that will identify that fall via a sophisticated fall detect algorithm," he says.
If the person is unconscious and doesn't respond in a certain amount of time, paramedics will be sent to the location of the fall.
"I could easily see the marketability of this technology, whether it's monitoring a child or an adult, a vehicle, a railroad car, maybe your home. We could use it in numerous verticals," Speicher says. "I love the technology. I've always been a fan of building great things."
Buildng a Legacy
While Speicher was growing up in Omaha, his father was a general contractor. "We'd drive around town and he'd say, 'We built that Pizza Hut back in '68, that hospital took us two years to finish'… all over town you see his legacy.
"He's getting older now. I look at it as if he's become a little bit immortal."
Speicher sees his own legacy in processes and service-oriented architecture.
"I love to see a big project complete and I love to see an idea go from concept to making money or saving money or changing the way we do business," he says.
At Hughes Telematics, Speicher's team includes 160-180 of the company's 280-plus employees.
He allows them to "run fast and jump high," but adds "we have to share a brain at the end of the day. I like to coach and share enough thought to where I'm anticipating that they're thinking the way I do at the end of the day … and vice versa."
Speicher says sometimes there's criticism when people are allowed to trip up or to make a mistake. "But if you have a little patience and look forward six months, you're going to know who was able to learn and grow and adapt and overcome."
Speicher can envision having his own business in the future, either in high-tech or technology services.
"I'm a big believer that the evolution or the biggest explosion in technology growth will be on the data side," he says. "I'm excited that we're about to come to a point where telematics, communicating machine to machine is going to be a commodity."
For example, he says, "The appliances in our houses are going to start talking to each other. At some point, these things are going to say, 'Hey my light's burning out,' and tell you or somebody else that they need a new part."
As devices increasingly communicate with each other, Speicher sees that dovetailing with deciding what to do with that information. He cites an experiment in San Francisco in which chips are built into the pavement to sell parking stalls. "We need to standardize that data communication layer," he says. "I think that will be an exciting growth technology and I'd love to be part of it."
Secrets to Success
- I really am a believer that if you are integrity-oriented, maintain an objective perspective, and try to be honest with yourself first, you can cut so many corners and not have to say you're sorry at the end of the day. You will eventually garner respect and trust, Then, you can go out on a limb and take a significant risk, but you'll have people supporting and following you.
- I play basketball and I don't think you need to be a high scorer to be the guy who wins. I think you need to be the best point guard in the game. You need to understand everybody on the floor, what their strengths are, what their weaknesses are. Sometimes you have to score because you have no one else to pass to. You need to know who to feed, who to talk to and be aware of where the other guys are. I personally don't look for the glory. The best scoring play to me is that easy layup because of your perfect pass and you helped someone else looked great. If you can do that enough, you're going to win.
- In this industry there's so much pressure and there's so much competition and it is hard for some people who have not been in an environment where they've had to compete, let alone with the clock running down. I really think that's almost an imperative that somebody have experience in team-oriented sports as a child or in some kind of competitive environment where they work as a team. When the stakes are not your job or your life or your children's future, you learn how to win, you learn how to lose, you learn how to communicate, you learn how to score under pressure and you learn how to sit on the bench. You have that great season where you win every game and you have that season where you lose many more than you win. Team sports teach us so much about many aspects of life, with little if anything to lose … except the score.
Dan Speicher is Chief Information Officer at Hughes Telematics. Atlanta Trend expresses its thanks and deep appreciation to Dan Speicher for sharing his thoughts with us.

While the topic of immigration has been largely viewed as an issue reserved for the federal government, there are cities across the United States finding their own approach to dealing with immigration issues related to an increasing number of undocumented residents.
Instead of isolating and discriminating against these communities, cities such as New Haven, Connecticut and San Francisco, California are taking a new approach towards them with the implementation of a municipal ID program.
Municipal IDs 101
These programs allow a municipality, such as a city, to issue identification cards to residents, regardless of their United States citizenship status. The programs differ from city to city, but most require that the person provide a form of identification, such as a passport, and a document that will prove that he or she has been residing in the city for at least fifteen or thirty days. This documentation can be provided in the form a bill, pay stub, or any other document that would prove residency.
The identification cards are inexpensive and must be renewed periodically.
Pros and Cons of the ID card system
These municipal ID cards have proven to be a functional tool to allow undocumented individuals to more openly integrate into the community and contribute to the economy. The identification cards create opportunities for immigrants to open bank accounts, find housing, and use city programs such as hospitals and libraries.
Trouble and skepticism have risen around the cards because some people are worried about the safety of the immigrants using them. Anti-immigration groups have requested the names of all of the immigrants who have requested a municipal identification card, so that they can turn those names over to the federal immigration authorities, perhaps for deportation.
To date, the participating cities have refused to turn over this information to protect the immigrants' rights to privacy and safety. Some cities, however, such as Dayton, Ohio, have created variations of their own municipal ID program and are requiring immigrant status checks to be performed on those who are suspected of serious crimes.
Opponents of the program argue that the existence of these programs is a violation of federal law as it creates a sanctuary for undocumented immigrants, and, furthermore, that the municipal identification program invites increased criminal activity to the areas in which it is practiced. The cities which have municipal identification cards maintain that the cards do not grant the immigrant legal residency or citizenship; and that the cards merely give immigrants a document that makes it easier for them to live and work in the community. They further suggest that the program does not compromise or interfere with the federal process for naturalization .
Additionally, the Mayor of New Haven, CT, John DeStefano Jr., announced in December that he hopes to ask state legislators to allow undocumented aliens to be granted the right to vote. Actions such as those by DeStafano fuel disputes in public debate about whether these municipal ID card systems will eventually lead to immigration changes on a larger scale.

Chilean Nationals
On March 10, 2010, USCIS granted Chilean nationals present in the United States temporary nonimmigrant status based on the catestphoic earthquake that occurred in Chile. This allows visitors on visas to legally extend their stay for 6 months. These benefits also include the possibility to get work authorization and expedited processing of applications for immediate relatives of United States citizens and LPRs (I-130s).
If you are a Chilean National currently in the United States and are unable or unwilling to return home because of the earthquake, please contact our office and we would be happy to discuss your available immigration options.
Every two years, USCIS conducts fee reviews to determine if they are adequately recovering the costs expended to successfully operate. Most of their budget is derived from collecting fees that accompany petitions and applications from individuals seeking immigration benefits. USCIS fee revenues have reportedly been lower than projected, so they are proposing fee adjustments to hopefully successfully recover costs of operations. The other apparent option is to cut staff, which would lengthen already long application processing times.
While most increases are minimal (and they even propose three decreases), there are a few which are more extreme then others; most notably is the increased fee from $545 to $755 for an I-694, a notice of Appeal of Decision.
They have also proposed to new fees for a Civil Surgeon Designation, an I-924 Application for Regional Center under the Immigrant Investor Pilot Program, and a general fee for an Immigrant Visa.
Keeping up with application requirements can be a tricky process, and minor flaws in an application can have dire consequences. Our office can help ensure your application process goes as smoothly as possible. Please feel free to contact us with any questions or concerns you may have, and we would be happy to assist you.

TPS extended for Hondurans until January 5, 2012
DHS granted an extension for Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Hondurans, allowing them to maintain legal status through January 5, 2012. Hondurans were originally granted TPS status in 1999, following a devastating Hurricane in 1998, which left thousands dead and millions homeless. At the time, the Honduran President Flores claimed it destroyed fifty years of progress to the country, because of massive damage to the infrastructure, including the transportation and communication networks. This year, DHS reviewed the current conditions of the country and determined that Honduras is still not able to adequately handle the return of its nationals.
What does this mean for Hondurans who are currently in the United States? All Hondurans who currently have the benefit of TPS in the United States will have this benefit expire on July 6, 2010 and thus they must re-register with DHS in order to extend their status. Re-registration requires filing an I-821 and an I-765. This includes complying with the biometrics service fee and EAD application fee. Once this has been complied with, TPS status will be good through January 5, 2012. However, failure to comply before July 6, 2010 will result is a withdrawal of TPS. This could result in being subjected to removal from the United States, and thus must be addressed in a timely fashion.
For more information, or assistance with filing your application, please feel free to contact us. For more information from USCIS, click here.
On February 25, 2010, the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit determined that a woman's repeated returns to her home country was not enough, in and of itself, to bar her claim for asylum. Petitioner Nan Marie Kone grew up in Cote d'Ivori (the Ivory Coast) in a community that practiced female genital mutilation (FGM). Since being subjected to the ritual as a young girl, she has had to cope with both the physical and mental harm she suffered.
Ms. Kone first came to the United States in 2002, and between the years began traveling back and forth between her home country and then United States. During many of her times she returned to her home country, she suffered maltreatment, whether being arrested for her political believes or having family members murdered for their religious beliefs. Following tumultuous events, she would seek refuge in the United States, but never gave up the hope that eventually the political and ethnic strife in her home country would be resolved. Eventually, this hope dissipated, and she sought out asylum in the United States in 2005.
This petition was denied, based primarily on the evidence of her repeated returns to the Ivory Coast. Asylum is based on the premise that a safe-haven will be given to those who face persecution in their home countries. A finding of past persecution creates a rebuttable presumption that fear of future persecution is well-founded. Evidence of FGM is generally held to be fundamental evidence of past persecution. This places the burden on the government to show that by a preponderance of the evidence, the reasons for this fear no longer exist, because of changed circumstances. In Ms. Kone's case, the government argued that the evidence of her frequent visits back to her home country were enough to meet the burden of proof to show a change of circumstances. Though the trial court agreed with this argument, the appellate court for the Second Circuit disagreed. They instead held that while it may be relevant evidence, such evidence alone is not enough to meet the preponderance of the evidence standard. Based on this finding, the court remanded the case for a new trial to reevaluate the circumstances surrounding Ms. Kone's case in light of this new rule.
This holding, that the simple fact of safe return on a particular occasion does not negate the potential of future harm, can help provide precedence for many immigrants who are torn between facing heinous treatment in their home country and living a better life in the United States, at the cost of abandoning their family, friends, and previous lives. By allowing more leeway for those who don't up and leave their lives in one final move, this helps many of those in the worst situations have a greater chance of having hope of a better life once they have made their final decisions.

Following the devastating earthquake on January 12, 2010, the Unites States issued a 18-month designation of Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Haiti. This allows Haitians who were in the United States at the time of the earthquake to stay in the country legally and obtain work authorization while they are unable to return home. This applies to the 100,000-200,000 estimated Haitians who are currently in the United States. However, Haitians are not automatically granted this status, and must apply for TPS within 6 months of the January 12, 2010 designation, or else their application for TPS and work authorization will be denied. If they do not have any other means of obtaining legal status, they will be subject to removability. According to USCIS, as of February 12th, only 12,000 Haitians has applied for TPS.
It is estimated that over 500,000 Haitians are internally displaced, meaning that they were in Haiti at the time of the earthquake, but their homes have been destroyed or are inaccessible, and thus have no place to call home. Approximately 50,000 of these Haitians have been approved to reunite with family in the United States, but still much await a visa before they can actually enter the country.
Though there are legal ways for Haitians to enter the United States, because of the dire situation in their home country, many are fleeing for the Dominican Republic and the United States, regardless of whether they have received advance permission. The United States Coast Guard is left with the unfortunate task of stopping boats of people from Haiti, and then are left with the problem of where to take them. The United Nation High Commission for Refugees (UNHCR) has made an international appeal to governments to suspend all involuntary returns and grant interim protection to these desperate people, but many countries have been unwilling to announce an official policy to accept displaced Haitians.

We're slowly leaving summer behind and with the cooler months we start to think less about the importance of staying hydrated. It's just as important now as it was in July to drink water, and what it does for your body and mind is pretty amazing.
Did you know that drinking water can actually improve your mood, memory, attention, and learning? The human brain is made primarily of water: over 75%! It makes sense that, when the body becomes dehydrated, the brain has a more difficult time doing what it needs to.
It's easy to lose water if you're not consuming enough throughout your normal day. If you're losing more water than usual because of hot weather or exercise, you'll need to take-in even more.
How to Stay Hydrated
According to the Mayo Clinic, the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine recommends that on average, men should consume approximately 15.5 cups, or 3.7 liters, of fluid every day. For women, the recommended amount is 11.5 cups, or 2.7 liters.
Yes, that sounds like a lot!! We're also used to hearing that we should drink (a much more reasonable) 8 cups of water a day. However, you should take another look at that information.
The word "consume" means you don't necessarily need to drink the water you need. You can eat foods that contain water and still meet the recommendations. It also says "fluids," which means you can drink a water-containing beverage like milk or juice and still get the needed H2O.
Here are some ways to get the water you need, to keep track of your intake, and to remind you of your next water break.
Drink from a Marked Container
A container that's marked according to how much fluid it can hold is going to be your best friend. It'll be easy to keep track of how much you've had to drink. For example, if you drink from a 32-ounce bottle, you can make it your goal to drink 2 or 3 of those bottles every day. This will put you at approximately 1.9- or 2.8-liters respectively. You should be able to get the rest of your water needs by eating.
Eat Foods with High Water Content
Healthline published a list of water-rich foods that can help you determine which foods to add to your day. Some great foods from this list include:
- Watermelon
- Cucumber
- Skim Milk
- Lettuce
- Zucchini
- Celery
- Plain Yogurt
As you can see, there's a solid mix of sweet/salty flavors and crunchy/creamy textures. There are enough options to find at least one thing you enjoy!
Use an App to Track Your Intake
Some fitness apps have a section where you can log your water intake. Other apps exist solely for the purpose of reminding you to drink and to help you track your intake. You can simply go to your App Store from your smartphone and do a search for water tracking apps. If you just want some of our random finds, take a look at these free-to-download apps:
Waterlogged – iOS
Daily Water – iOS
Water Time Pro – Android
Drink Water – Android
Test Your Hydration
An easy way to tell if you're hydrated enough is if the color of your urine is pale yellow to clear. Darker urine colors may indicate that you're not getting enough water. There are other reasons why urine color may change so never take it strictly as a sign of dehydration!
Another quick test is the skin elasticity test. If you pinch the skin on the top of your hand, it should quickly drop back to its original position. If it holds the pinched shape and slowly comes back down, you might be dehydrated.
Remember that every body is different
Keep in mind that the amount of water your body requires to function healthily is going to be different from what someone else's body requires. Even if you're generally the same in terms of age, health, and fitness level, your body may simply need more or less. Listen to your body and focus on you!

BOMBSHELL is HERE! Get Your Copy: eBook or Paperback
#1 Bestseller in African American Erotica on release day! 7/15/2015
Tired of dealing with the sexist, dominant men at her corporate job, Samantha Wilde started her own company. After hearing some life-altering news, she literally bumps into a man who knows what he wants regardless of her situation and is willing to pursue her no matter the costs.
Joshua Kelly is a successful business man. He has Samantha in his sights for not only business, but pleasure! He makes her a business proposition that she tries to refuse, then he moves in for the kill with a relationship proposal. She is almost helpless to stay away from him, because he represents the type of dominant man that she wants to avoid but his touch is addictive. Maybe this kind of dominant isn't so bad.
This story is about the realities of sexual encounters and how to move on from what you cannot change. Based loosely on a many true stories.
"Can I get a tall macchiato caramel?" I asked the Starbucks barista.
"Is that all?" she asked.
I nodded and opened my purse that was hanging off my shoulder and rested on my left hip.
"Make that two," a deep voice said from behind me.
I whipped around and almost hit him with my head because he was so close. The man was leaning over me to pay the barista for the drinks.
What the hell?
Here's the thing, I'm 5'9 and I had on 3" heeled boots, so I'm a pretty tall lady. This guy was leaning over me, so he had to be around 6'5 or taller. When he stood up to his full height, I saw it was the guy from the elevator.
"Sir, what are you doing?" I was annoyed.
His eyes slid down to mine. "Treating a beautiful lady," he smoothly responded.
"I didn't ask for this," I shook my head at the barista and went to hand her my card.
She looked confused, but went to grab my card. He snatched the card out of my hands and sternly stated, "I got this."
Well, I'll be.
At that point, the barista took his twenty dollar bill and deposited it in the register, gave him his change and asked, "Your name?"
"Joshua," he replied.
I could play this one of a few ways, I thought as I stared at him with my mouth open.
Option 1: I could be a total bi*** and tell him where he can go, how I can pay for my own coffee and how dare he have the nerve to try and bend me to his will.
Option 2: I could thank him politely, get my coffee and go home.
Option 3: I could smile and say thank you.
I couldn't tell if he was good looking or not, because I was now thoroughly pissed. He no longer had the scowl on his face, but a smirk. I felt like he walked over me and disregarded my wishes, but that didn't mean I needed to act on that feeling. I didn't want to make a scene at the Starbucks, because I frequently came here as many of my clients were in this area. However, I did want to make it clear to him who he was dealing with. As I was preparing myself to go with Option 1, but a more civilized and modified version, he reached his hand up to my mouth and closed my lips with his thumb and index finger. Then he slipped my card back in my purse with his other hand.

You'd be forgiven for thinking this was a styled shoot, everything is so perfectly executed. None more so than the fine art photography captures by Lilli Kad, but family chipped in to help with flowers, and also the incredibly timeless, but super stylish wedding attire.
A little bit of escapism for your Sunday afternoon…
I love this inspiration shoot, it's fun, a little eccentric and fully embraces it's theme – well go big or go home we say, and we're fully on board with it! The idea is a fresh take on Sleeping Beauty and it unfolds at the magical Pazo de Lourizan in Galicia, Spain, which is filled with crumbing walls, elegant stairways and an abundance of glorious blooms and botanicals. There are also lots of twinkling lights, some gorgeous dresses and beautiful hair and make up looks. The whole thing is just enchanting, the kind of place you'd conjure up as a child playing Princesses. Very much like a wedding day then 😉

text: PUT YOURSELF UP ON THE SAME PEDESTAL AS YOU DO YOUR KIDS. It's easy to fall into a habit of sacrificing your needs for the needs of your children. Isn't that the definition of a "good" parent? NO. Early on, you were on call 24/7 as you met the needs of your newborn, yet don't let those early survival techniques of putting your needs last, stay with you as your kids grow up. A shower at one time might have felt like a luxury, although your growing child now needs you to set a healthy role model of caring for yourself. You need to pursue your passions and interests. Your job now is to love, nurture, and guide your kids to become self sufficient, self-directed, and independent. This shift is important, both for your growth and your family's.
