Strengthen, Lengthen… Launch! Creating A New Foundation for SLT
Mar 21, 2018
SLT is a premier boutique fitness studio that offers full-body 50-minute workouts. The workout combines low-impact Pilates movements with intense cardio and strength training exercises designed to "Strengthen", "Lengthen" and "Tone". Described as "Pilates on steroids", SLT is consistently recognized as one of the toughest core-focused workouts available to fitness enthusiasts.
Workouts are led by skilled instructors in an energetic environment and take place on a machine called the Megaformer, which uses an arrangement of springs, straps, and pulleys along with body weight to systematically work out the entire body to complete muscle exhaustion. Founded in 2011 by Amanda Freeman, SLT got its start in New York City. Since then, they've added numerous studios throughout the East Coast in places like Boston and Philadelphia and are gearing up for future growth.
"As the Marketing Director for a brand that I am quite protective and passionate about, I was on a mission to find us the perfect match. I knew that I wanted to partner with a team who was really going to nurture us not just help us hit our goals and KPI's…but provide the collaboration and emotional intelligence needed to grow a start-up brand like ours. I wanted to join forces with a team who understood us from the inside out, would move quickly and efficiently but also provide pace and consistency. When I met the Barrel team I knew we found our match. Their talent, patience, sense of humor and dedication to the success of our launch was everything we could ask for and more. All of us at SLT are looking forward to a long and fun partnership!"
Lara Kalayjian Marketing Director
When SLT came to us, they were looking for a new website that better expressed the evolution of their brand, captured the energy of the workout, and would set them up to scale with future expansion. Built on WordPress and integrated with MindBody Online, the new website features an easy "Book a Class" flow, robust studio pages, new video content, and instructor profiles. In addition to the website, we've also been collaborating with the SLTeam on other brand applications such as window designs for new studios.

It's Monday...What are YOU reading? 12/26/11
Hello again friends! With the busy holidays, had I had to pare down my reading goals last week. However, I did meet my goal of finishing the second book of The Hunger Games trilogy: Catching Fire. This book was fantastic and the ending left me hanging...so I IMMEDIATELY had to get the third book: Mockingjay. I thought when I finished the Harry Potter series, I was going to be lost. However, I am pleased that I was able to pick up this incredible trilogy to help me fill my Harry Potter void. I thoroughly enjoy these books, despite my prior belief that I was not a "SciFi" fan. (I guess I have my husband to thank for my new found interest in all things geeky.)
In addition to finishing Catching Fire and starting Mockingjay, I also read a couple of picture books. These books were accessed through NetGalley, a site which allows reviewers, educators, etc. to request Advanced Readers Copies (ARCs) of books to preview before they are published. All of the books are digital copies, which is quite convenient because you can download a lot and take them with you. I currently have 17 books that are awaiting me.
The first picture book I read was Mooshka, A Quilt Story by Julie Paschkis. I really enjoyed the artwork in this book. Although it's not a folktale, it had the feel of one. The story is simple: A little girl named Karla loves the comfort she gets from her quilt made of fabric scraps. Each scrap represents an event in her family's history. However, when a new baby comes along, Karla passes on the stories and comfort of the quilt to her new sibling. It was very sweet.
The second one I read was The House on Dirty-Third Street by Jo S. Kittenger. I think a lot of children will relate to this story. It is about a girl and her mother moving into a new home, but the home is in serious need of some TLC. At first, the girl is upset and never thinks it will feel like home. But, with some help from their community, it becomes the house of their dreams. I liked the art in this book as well. I read that they were originally photographs that were turned into illustrations. This is a neat concept and made the illustrations that much more interesting.
Well, that's it for how! I am planning on finishing Mockingjay this week and moving on to another book that I have hear a lot of great things about... A Monster Calls. Now that I am enjoying my Winter Break, I may be able to read quite a bit more.
What are YOU reading this week?

Oh, heavens, I have a bunch of Netgalley ARCS waiting for me, too. Have to get through my physical pile from the library first ... they have quicker due dates! Glad to know it's not just me!ReplyDelete
PS I love the owls!
I love NetGalley! I wasn't sure if a lot of publishers would accept my requests, but I think all of them did. So awesome!ReplyDelete
I can't wait to read The Hunger Games trilogy-bought it from scholastic. :) I read The Future of Us, Breadcrumbs, Bigger Than a Breadbox, and A Monster Calls and LOTS of picture books and young reader books!!!!!ReplyDelete
I just joined NetGalley last night and need to put in some requests. How long did it take for you to get an ARC?
Hi Shannon,ReplyDelete
Some were instantaneous, but it took about a week to get all the ones I had asked for access to. At least, I think all of my requests were granted. I hope the publishers don't mind waiting a while for my reviews though...as a teacher I can only accomplish so many things within each day! :)
Yeah, our time is soooooo limited!:)ReplyDelete

It was two years ago early September that my friend Martin and I took a stroll through the Camosun Bog in the neighborhood of Point Grey, Vancouver and came across dense, thick brush of salal berries. Now, I was unfamiliar with the plant, but after Martin rather confidently informed me that they were indeed edible, I carefully tasted one. As it turns out, not only were they edible, they were foolishly delicious.
"Why don't they sell these in the market?" I exclaimed, my tongue baffled at the bursting, sweet flavour.
I had to learn more. I discovered that salal (Gaultheria shallon) typically grows as dense thicket in the understory of a forest or a marshy area. Interestingly, salal berries are by far the most plentiful and widely used wild fruits on the coast. All coastal indigenous groups ate/preserved large quantities of these berries. They were eaten fresh, used as a sweetener, or used to thicken salmon eggs. A typical way to preserve them was to mash them and let them stand by a few days. The thickened 'jam' would be poured into rectangular cedar frames and set over skunk cabbage. It was placed over an alder-wood fire for smoking for several hours. The cakes were rolled up for storage, and were highly prized, served mainly at large feasts.
We continued to explore deeper into the bog, we found a variety of other edible goodies, which we proceeded to gather in large quantities. (Disclaimer: I could not find any information on the Vancouver Parks Board website about the legal ramifications of foraging large amounts of berries or other edible wilds in city parks. You may want to dig a little deeper if this issue concerns you.) Below are some edible berries you will find in and around Vancouver, the territory of the Musquem First Nations. Reference the pictures, as they are quite handy.
If gathering SALAL, look for:
-Evergreen leaves, tough and oval shaped. (You often see the leaves in flower arrangements)
-Pinkish to white urn-shaped flowers.
-Dark blue to black berries, hairy and fleshy.
Where & When to look: The Camosun Bog (Entrance at Camosun St & W. 20th St) (Aug and Sept)
If gathering RED HUCKLEBERRY (Vaccinium parvifolium), look for:
-3 cm long thin, oval leaves
-Growth on nurse stumps/logs or other shaded areas
-Pink to red-orange coloured berries, 1 cm in diameter
Note: These berries have a tart but very succulent flavour
Where & When to look: Needleleaf forests of Pacific Spirit Park just off University Blvd (July and Aug)
If gathering SALMONBERRY (Rubus spectabilis), look for:
-Raspberry-like shrub, compound leaves (two lateral and one terminal)
-Often found growing along roadsides, clearings, or near paths, one of the earliest berries
-Resembles a deep cupped raspberry, in a variety of colours, from salmon to gold to ruby red to almost black
Note: Salmonberry sprouts may also be picked and peeled in the spring to be eaten raw or steamed
Where & When to look: Plentiful on most roadsides or paths in Stanley Park. (May and early-mid June)
If gathering BOG CRANBERRY (Vaccinium Oxycoccos), look for:
-Low-creeping, vine shrub with evergreen, leathery small (3-10 mm) leaves
-Growth in wet, marshy areas often half-buried in peat moss ground cover
-Pale-pink to dark red plump berries, 5-10 mm broad
Where & When to look: Deep in Camosun or Burns Bog (Delta) on vines near the ground. (July to Sept)
We live our lives in a way that is heavily dependent on food systems that provide for us. In many ways, as our food networks become more globally interconnected, I challenge you to question them. In our abundant communities, living in the rainforest landscape of the Pacific Northwest, we have much to learn about how we can allow the land to directly provide for us.
In the end, Martin and I sat on his kitchen floor, mashed berries up with our hands, kneaded some dough, threw it all together and put it in the oven. It smelled wildly. And it was the most delicious pie my tongue could ever know. Although exquisite in taste, its goodness came not from the flavour of the berries, but knowing they were picked straight wild from the earth, every bite connected.

November 14, 2018
A delegation from the US-China Education Trust (USCET) and Beijing Foreign Studies University (BFSU) joined other Americanists in Atlanta, Georgia earlier this month to attend the 2018 edition of the American Studies Association's Annual Meeting.
Each year scholars, teachers, students, activists, and artists come together to share interdisciplinary research on US culture and history in a global context. This year's meeting focused on "States of Emergence," emphasizing that our sense of crisis must be thought alongside our constant commitment to challenging the calamities that beset us and to producing alternative and better worlds.
The meeting which ran from November 8-11 was comprised of a number of lectures, sessions, and panels throughout the three days. The four members from BFSU, which included professor Fu Meirong, professor Li Jinzhao, Zou Hongjin, and Tianhong Yin held a successful and insightful panel exploring The Role of Education and Cultural Exchange in Mitigating Crises: Case Studies of Exchanges between the US and China.
Each of the panelists discussed research they've been working on recently related to exchange between the US and China. Professor Fu presented her study on the experiences of Chinese Fulbright scholars in the United States while professor Li spoke on two feminist movements that have made their way from the United States to China: "The Vagina Monologues" in 2013 and the #MeToo movement in 2018.
The two graduate students, both of whom recently won the Graduate Student Forum competition and were given the opportunity to join the delegation also participated in the panel. Zou spoke on her comparative analysis work, which explored Sino-US international exchange during two periods: 1905-1949 and 1979-to the present. Yin meanwhile, discussed her statistical analysis exploring the effect of educational exchange on US-China relations.
Participating in the ASA Conference also afforded the Chinese delegation multiple opportunities to network and meet Americanists from different universities, to share in ideas, and to learn what others are working on within the American Studies discipline. And despite a busy conference schedule, the delegation was able to take part in a few cultural activities in the city of Atlanta.
USCET regularly supports faculty and grad students from its American Studies Network (ASN) to participate in the Annual Meeting of the ASA. Earlier this month, USCET also held its 15th Annual ASN Conference at East China Normal University in Shanghai.

Houston chef Hugo Ortega wins James Beard Award
Hugo Ortega, long a key figure on Houston's culinary scene, was named Best Chef Southwest at the James Beard Foundation Restaurant & Chef Awards in Chicago Monday night.
It was chef Ortega's sixth year as a finalist for the prestigious award. To fans of his landmark interior Mexican restaurants Hugo's, Caracol and Xochi, the honor seems overdue.
THE BEST: Montrose restaurant Hugo's among Eater's Best Restaurants in America
"What a moment," he said, speaking from the black-tie awards gala at the Lyric Opera of Chicago.
Ortega, 51, dedicated his award to the "great city of Houston."
"What can I say," he said at the podium, "America is beautiful, and I am living the dream."
Born in Mexico City, and reared partly on his family's Puebla state rancho bordering Oaxaca, Ortega immigrated to Houston in 1984 as a 17-year-old. Here he became one of the city's favorite success stories. Starting out in a dishwasher position with no English and no documentation, he rose to oversee a popular group of restaurants with his wife, Tracy Vaught.
He is now a U.S. citizen, and the daughter he has with Vaught, Sophia, is a student at Tulane University in New Orleans. She was in the audience in Chicago to see her father win the award.
OTHER CHEFS IN THE RUNNING: Houston chefs named James Beard Award finalists
"Hugo has accomplished so much in his life since coming to the United States," said Vaught. "I am immensely proud of his hard work, his perseverance, his grace, and his heart."
As owner of Backstreet Cafe, Vaught was among the first to recognize Ortega's promise. He climbed through the kitchen ranks at that restaurant, taking time out to attend culinary school at Houston Community College before returning as the restaurant's executive chef. Over the decades, the couple added the Italian restaurant Prego to their H Town Restaurant Group, along with Trevisio (now Third Coast) at the Texas Medical Center.
But it was the debut of Hugo's in 2002 that put Ortega on the national map as one of the country's foremost champions of interior Mexican cuisine. Hand-ground masa for tortillas, desserts from the chef's brother, Ruben Ortega, plus longtime collaborator Sean Beck's inventive wine list and agave-spirits cocktails all factored into the restaurant's appeal.
Those elements became vital to the success of Ortega and Vaught's Mexican coastal cuisine restaurant near the Galleria, the glamorous Caracol; and to Xochi, which opened just before Super Bowl 51 in downtown's new convention hotel, the Marriott Marquis. With its Oaxacan emphasis, including earthy masa specialities and an impressive roster of complex moles, Xochi is one of the year's most exciting openings.
He and Vaught also partnered financially last year with chef Rodolfo Castellanos in his restaurant Origen, located in Oaxaca, Mexico.
Houston chef Jianyun Ye of Mala Sichuan Bistro was among this year's finalists for Best Chef Southwest, along with Texans Bryce Gilmore (of Austin's Barley Swine) and Steve McHugh (of Cured in San Antonio). Steve Redzikowski of Denver's Acorn and Santa Fe's Martín Rios of Restaurant Martín were also in the mix for the title.
FROM IMMIGRANT TO STAR: How Hugo Ortega came to Houston.
Three Houston chefs have won a James Beard Award as Best Chef Southwest: Justin Yu, for his recently-shuttered Oxheart, in 2016; Underbelly's Chris Shepherd in 2014; and Cafe Annie chef-owner Robert Del Grande in 1992.
Houston native Sarah Grueneberg, a graduate of the Art Institute of Houston, took home the Best Chef Great Lakes award Monday for her work at Monteverde, the Italian restaurant in Chicago. Grueneberg cut her culinary teeth at Brennan's of Houston.
For the party that takes place immediately after the Beard ceremony, Ortega and his crew cooked crispy cabrito on a ceniza (ash) tostada with huaxmole, a prehispanic mole made with huaje seeds. It's one of the recipes that has kept the chef's flagship restaurant, Hugo's, at the top of its game.
"This is overwhelming for me," said Ortega, as he prepared to work his food station personally, wearing his new medal. "I've come so far since I came to this country as a teenager, illegal, without a peso in my pocket. To accomplish this is a completely new feeling."

TULKARM, West Bank
She knew that once she put on the explosive belt, there would be no turning back. She knew it would rip her limb from limb, reducing her to a bloody pulp. She knew it would leave her only daughter an orphan.
But she also knew this: It would kill Israelis. With luck, a lot of them. And that was reason enough to do it.
Shifa al-Qudsi was a suicide bomber, or at least tried to be. A Palestinian hairdresser driven to anger, despair and hopelessness, she volunteered to carry out an attack on Israelis that would strike a blow, she thought, for her beleaguered people. "I wanted to seek revenge," she said.
But she was arrested before she could act and today, after six years in an Israeli prison, Ms. Qudsi has transformed herself from a would-be deliverer of death into a messenger of peace. Now working with a group that brings Palestinians and Israelis together to advocate an end to the conflict between their peoples, she tries to channel the rage that took her to the brink into a nonviolent movement for change.
Ms. Qudsi offers a window into the world of terrorism amid a fresh wave of attacks by Palestinians. Mainly wielding knives rather than bombs, this new generation of attackers are nonetheless also committing suicide for their cause, since they know they are likely to be shot by Israeli soldiers.
Ms. Qudsi understands the kind of thinking that makes sacrificing oneself seem like a rational response to deep feelings of grievance.
"They occupy your home, your land, they kill your relatives and your people — of course you're upset," she said. "You have no other option but to seek revenge."
Now 40, she smoked as she reflected on her life in this corner of the West Bank occupied by Israeli forces for nearly 50 years. Looking back, she still embraces the resentment if not the methodology.
"I don't feel bad that I made that decision," she said of her brush with death. "But now I reject suicide attacks. God decides when we will live and when we will die. Now my jihad is to send out a message to the world. The world must know the Palestinians' land is occupied. We are people who want peace, just peace."
She has come to know Israelis who share her views as part of Combatants for Peace, an organization of former Israeli soldiers and Palestinian fighters reaching across lines that separate them. "I want to stop the bloodshed," Ms. Qudsi said.
The group is featured in a new documentary, "Disturbing the Peace." But old suspicions die hard, and Ms. Qudsi was not permitted by the Israeli authorities to attend the Jerusalem premiere in July, nor allowed to travel to the United States Consulate in Jerusalem to obtain a visa to attend a showing early this month at the Hamptons International Film Festival on Long Island. The movie will debut in New York City on Nov. 11, and she still hopes to attend.
AN ISRAELI official said that Ms. Qudsi's application was not filed by a deadline and that future ones would be considered. But the potential security risk would be a factor, said the official, who declined to be identified discussing an individual case.
If viewed warily by the Israeli authorities, Ms. Qudsi is not accepted by everyone at home either. Palestinian attackers are celebrated in the West Bank as martyrs, and their families receive compensation from the Palestinian Authority. Cooperation with Israelis, even like-minded ones, is often deemed betrayal.
"The Palestinian people have lost hope and don't believe that peace with the Israelis will ever be achieved," said Mahmoud Mubarak, president of the Jalazoun refugee camp council. "Many Palestinians consider the participation in joint projects with Israelis as normalization."
Normalization refers to making the current situation better rather than seeking to overturn it altogether. Omar Barghouti, a founder of the boycott, divestment and sanctions movement, called B.D.S., which targets Israel internationally, said the ostensible neutrality of groups like Combatants for Peace actually cemented the occupation.
"Joining normalization groups like Combatants for Peace is certainly not the answer; it aggravates the problem," he added. "Normalizing Israeli apartheid only entrenches it."
In an interview in a cafe one morning this fall, Ms. Qudsi denied enabling the occupation. "I'm against normalization. We are all against normalization, even this group," she said. "There's a huge difference."
Ms. Qudsi was one of 10 children in her family who grew up in Tulkarm, in the northern section of the West Bank. Her father, who managed a coffee shop, ran a conservative household, and when she was 15, she was married to a cousin. They had a daughter but divorced when Ms. Qudsi was 17.
She worked in a hair salon and had little interest in politics. "I wasn't really paying attention to what was going on around me," she said. "I would only open the newspaper to look at the horoscope."
But after the second intifada, or uprising, began in 2000, the conflict found her. Two cousins were shot. The sound of explosions gave her daughter nightmares. The mother of her daughter's friend was killed. Her brother, Mahmoud Adnan al-Qudsi, tried to mount a suicide attack, only to be arrested.
Finally, at age 25, Ms. Qudsi said she could take it no more. She approached militants and offered to conduct an attack. She would pretend to be pregnant, wearing a suicide belt underneath a maternity dress. Another bomber paired with her would set off his explosives after she detonated hers.
Ms. Qudsi insisted on targeting soldiers, not civilians. But she acknowledged no qualms about killing other people, no sense that she would continue the cycle of violence without resolving anything. Her main misgiving was leaving her 6-year-old daughter, Diana.
"I told my daughter I'm going to go out and carry out a suicide attack so you can survive," she recalled. "It was very, very difficult for a mother to tell her only daughter, 'I'm going to die.' But because my daughter had seen her friend's mother die, she asked me one question: 'Will we then live in peace? Will we live in freedom? Will this end?' "
Diana pleaded with her mother. "She said, 'Mama, please don't leave me. I only have you,' " Ms. Qudsi said. "But the desire I had took over — to take revenge for everything that was happening around me."
The night before her attack in April 2002, though, Israeli security forces, tipped to the plan, burst into her house. According to the Israeli authorities, Ms. Qudsi was interrogated for three days before being charged and convicted of conspiracy to commit premeditated killing and possession of explosives. She said she was beaten in prison.
WHILE locked up, Ms. Qudsi rethought her course. Although still angry at Israelis, she began reading the writings of Mahatma Gandhi and Nelson Mandela. She met a female Israeli prison guard who treated her with respect.
"That's what made me feel that not every Israeli is the same," she said. "There's a difference between Israelis who want to carry a gun and shoot us."
Released in 2008, she joined Combatants for Peace. Among those she met was Chen Alon, an Israeli military officer who spent time in jail after refusing to serve in the occupied territories.
Mr. Alon was shocked by her story. "I could identify with everything except the decision — the terror, the hopelessness, the idea that this was the only thing that could provide a future for her daughter," said Mr. Alon, now a theater director and lecturer at Tel Aviv University. "I don't accept it, but I can understand it."
"I told her that a suicide attack is a crazy attack," he continued. "And she told me right in front of the group, 'You're saying that because you have tanks and helicopters. You think this because you can bomb us from the air. But when you don't have anything in hand to protect yourself, these belts are the only weapon we have.'"
"That," he added, "made me think, 'Wow, I didn't think about it this way.' "
For Ms. Qudsi, that is the challenge. To make others think like a suicide bomber. And to make herself not think like one. "I was only looking at the situation from one side," she said. "Now, I'm looking at it from both."

text: The demand for graduates with an intercultural understanding of society is growing, thus making the contextual studies increasingly important. But how can the humanities and social sciences help business education and how is it integrated at the institutional level? We sat down with Ulrike Landfester, Vice-President at the University of St. Gallen, to get an inside view on the how-to when it comes to incorporating contextual studies in business education. In the book Rethinking Undergraduate Business Education by the Carnegie Foundation for Advancement of Teaching, it is stated that business is the largest undergraduate major in the US. The book also states that the business sector plays a central role in the well-being and prosperity of society. This calls for quality education for business graduates moving beyond a narrow one-solution-oriented mindset to creative thinking with an enhanced understanding for social contribution. Striking while the iron is hot, a partnership between the University of St. Gallen, Copenhagen Business School, and the Haniel Foundation Germany has taken form. Building on this Carnegie Foundation study the partners gathered at the Copenhagen Business School in June 2013, for the workshop "Humanities and Social Sciences in Management Education: Writing, Researching, Teaching" to discuss the future of European business education. While other business schools have just begun implementing humanities and social sciences into their curriculum of business education in the last recent years, University of St. Gallen has been teaching it since its founding in 1898. At the workshop, we met with Ulrike Landfester, Professor and Vice-President at University of St. Gallen, to talk about why and how humanities should and can be incorporated into business education at the institutional level. Why We Need Humanities In the aftermath of the latest financial crisis, a need for self-examination was present in the business world. Rapid and violent changes in the prosperity of the economy changed the name of the game. Before the crisis, the demand for specialized business graduates with one-answer solutions was high. But after the financial crash of 2008, the demands have changed. Now, we are in need of graduates with a deeper understanding of society, culture and more abstract thinking and problem resolving. "There are few universities who, top-down, say that we require each and every student to take contextual studies," Landfester says. "But there are more and more universities who realize that there is something missing in business education. As the blame for the recent crisis continued to be laid at the door of business schools and business universities, these institutions try to find out whether they did wrong or not – and if they did wrong, why, and how can they remediate it. In this development, I think there are huge dynamics into the direction of integrating the humanities and social sciences into business education." We try to write a kind of hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy for business students: Don't run after that one answer. To enable students to understand management challenges in a broader context with all its complexities and different aspects, the University of St. Gallen integrates humanities and the social sciences with its business administration and economics curricula. The aim is both answering a growing demand in society for intellectually versatile graduates and developing the students personally in the spirit of humanistic education. "What business can learn from the humanities is to endure the ambivalence of business, because business education is usually aimed at trying to teach you how to solve problems with one solution or one answer. Humanities teach you that there is no such thing as one answer, and even that there is no such thing as one question. We try to write a kind of hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy for business students so they don't run after that one answer. Ask yourself: What are the notions that have formed that question? What is the framework in which you want that question answered? Then you have what the humanities try to feed into the business education," explains Ulrike Landfester. Three levels of Education – 25 percent Contextual With more than 100 years of teaching, University of St. Gallen has made many reforms over the years to meet the ever changing demands of a growing society. The latest and most significant was after the Bologna Process in 1999, the resulting reform designed to ensure comparability in standards and quality of higher education qualifications and to prepare students for their future lives as contributing citizens to society. "Before Bologna, we had a system where you could choose whether you wanted to do German literature in your finance bachelors or masters for example. Now it is a modular system, where you can choose between 350 different courses. It means that you can follow your own interests and you can go from journalism to including German language literature. It is not a complicated model and you can choose from semester to semester what suits you the best. We found that this would give our students more freedom and more range from their individual interest," Landfester explains. The University of St. Gallen offers a three-level and three-pillar model. The levels are the Assessment level, the Bachelor's level and the Masters level, and cross cutting through them are the three academic pillars of Contact Studies, Independent Studies and Contextual Studies. University of St. Gallen course model – photo credit University of St. Gallen In the first year, also known as the Assessment Year, all the students must complete the same curriculum to meet the requirements for the Bachelor's level. At the same time, this is a trial year, where the students can figure out if St. Gallen is the right school for them and vice versa. "They can assess if they want to study at St. Gallen, and we can assess if they are the right students for us. In this assessment year they are already offered a number of contextual studies courses and during that year we explain to them, or try to explain to them why and for what they might need us." At the Bachelor's level a wide range of courses are available to the students where they can focus on their individual interests. Finally at the Master's Level the students can choose from thirteen different programs to sharpen their professional academic profile. Of the three academic pillars the Contact Studies is the most significant. The main objective is to establish "contact" with the three core subjects of business: administration, economics and law. The contact studies make up 50 percent of the coursework, and one third of the lectures are elective courses chosen by the student according to his or her interests. The Independent Studies incorporate a variety of methods and individual lectures and seminars. They form an area of studies within the core subjects, thus allowing the student to dive deeper into the core subjects. Finally, the Contextual Studies contains three subjects – Cultural Awareness, Critical Thinking and Leadership Skills. This pillar is designed to prepare the students for their working life in society. Within these subjects, themes such as working methods, history, philosophy, ethics, psychology, sociology, cultural understandings and foreign languages are taught. Landfester tells, "Roughly speaking, our experience is as follows: Students come in part of the contextual studies to the University of St. Gallen. During the course of their studies they are unwilling, rebellious and unnerved, that they have to spend so much time on something of which they cannot immediately see the cost of opportunity lying before them. But give them two or three years after they have received their diploma and they come back and say, 'Now I've realized. Now I know what it is good for.'" To make sure that the students receive the proper amount of humanities and social sciences, 25 percent of the student courses have to be contextual studies. The requirement for the 25 percent also includes foreign languages. "It was a question of principle for the department for the humanities and social sciences of which I am part. But that decision implied that we would offer courses designed for the business education. That is, I will not have my students recite poems. I am doing courses on who is Europe, what is the cultural context of business models and so on. This is the plan, and it works pretty well I think," says Ulrike Landfester. Room for Improvement While it seems that acknowledging the need for change and implementing it is the first big step towards more balanced business education, there is still plenty of room for improvement. "I see room for improvement on both sides of the chasm. Business students and business faculty have tended for a long time to business as reality, and humanities and social sciences as somewhere between fantasy and the icing on the cake of culture. On the other hand, the humanities and social sciences scholars think themselves to be the stakeholders of beauty and all that is good, and they have a kind of genius arrogance, which needs to be mastered if they don't want to be marginalized. The humanities and social sciences got under pressure because they could not be bothered to explain their value to society. And I think that will have to change, just as well as the business education has to take into account, that there is a number of competences which they can get from the humanities and social sciences that they themselves do not teach," Ulrike Landfester assesses. The playwrite Bertolt Brecht once said that "Mixing one's wines may be a mistake, but old and new wisdom mix admirably". And true to humanistic form, more and more business universities are starting to develop new ways of building business education with a touch of humanities and social sciences. Changes are already visible. For instance, the Copenhagen Business School has a range of courses in anthropology, sociology and philosophy applied to business and the University of Essex has courses on creative thinking. But according to Landfester, there is still some ground to cover. "Globally, it is a process of emergence. Questions are being asked; carefully framed part-projects are still timidly proceeding. Universities are not quite sure that they can get away with it, when really rigidly integrating humanities and social sciences. It is the first state of emergence of what I hope is going to be a change in the institutional attitude towards business education," Ulrike Landfester concludes. This post is produced in partnership with GRASP Magazine and Student Reporter and part of our joint project on Humanities and the Social Sciences in Management Education, specifically covering the Carnegie Roundtable Workshop at Copenhagen Business School.

The town where I live – Malmö
This tour guide to the town where I lived was originally crafted several years ago and I have added to it and changed the pictures several times during the years.
For bigger size click on the pictures and follow the picture trail. (updated 2018-02-09)
Malmö lies in Southern Sweden across a strait where on the other side the capitol of Denmark, Copenhagen, resides. The first mention of Malmö is said to be an inventory or contract for a norwegian princess when she married. Otherwise it is thought to be founded by the bishop in Lund in 1275. For some hundred years the county of Skåne where Malmö lies belonged to Denmark and Malmö was Denmark's second biggest town after Copenhagen. The town privileges was granted by Eric of Pomerania in 1437. Malmöhus castle was said to be his favourite castle. In 1658 Scania (Skåne) became Swedish and Malmö is now Sweden's third biggest city. Öresundsbron – the bridge between Sweden and Denmark was opened in 2000 and now you could go by train or car to Denmark. The bridge and the two cities Malmö and Copenhagen is featured in the tv-series The Bridge. It is feels a bit weird to see familiar surroundings in a TV-series.

The election of Barack Obama as the next president of the United States was a historic moment.
Time will reveal if the moment evolves into a movement.
When John Kennedy and Ronald Reagan took office, they defined their times and motivated people to act.
"Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country," Kennedy said during his 1961 inauguration.
People, especially young people, believed in him. Some joined public service at home. Others volunteered for the Peace Corps.
During his 1981 inauguration, Ronald Reagan said: "We must act today in order to preserve tomorrow. And let there be no misunderstanding: We are going to begin to act, beginning today."
People rallied behind him as he worked to end the Cold War and reduce the role of government.
Obama won the presidency Tuesday relying heavily on young voters, minority voters and people previously disengaged from the political process.
But for his historic election to define a generation, those voters will need to do more than just cast a ballot every four years.
"Will they stay involved? Become town councilmen? Join their school boards? That will be the test," said history Professor John Baick of Western New England College.
"That happened with Kennedy. If it happens again, then you have a real movement. If not, you probably don't."
Omar Khalid, a 22-year-old Chandler resident, believes his vote on Tuesday was just the first step of his becoming more involved in civic affairs.
"I would really like to be a bigger part of the political process," Khalid said. "After this election, I do feel more inspired. I feel passionate and would like to volunteer in the community."
The Obama campaign reached out to young voters in unprecedented ways. The organization asked for their votes, their donations and their time.
It was a remarkably successful effort.
A nationwide poll of more than 100,000 voters Tuesday indicated that Obama won:
��66 percent of voters under age 30.
��66 percent of Hispanic voters.
��68 percent of first-time voters.
��95 percent of Black voters.
On Election Night at Chicago's Grant Park, where Obama gave his victory speech, people responded to the Illinois senator's accomplishment in different ways.
Many of the older people, acutely aware of the nation's troubled racial history, were moved by the sight of a Black man taking the stage as president-elect.
Younger people appeared less affected by Obama's race than the notion that his victory meant that they had made a difference. They supported a candidate, worked for him and voted for him.
They found their voice.
"I made calls for him," Rita Barnes, 21, said Tuesday, with tears streaming down her face as she watched Obama's speech. "I went door to door for him."
Jean Twenge, professor of psychology at San Diego State University and the author of Generation Me, studies young people and their political habits.
She says the call to get involved in politics resonated with this group of young voters and it could be the start of something special.
"It's possible we are seeing a cultural change," Twenge said, "the idea that we are all in this together."
From 1972 to 2000, the rate of voter turnout for 18- through 24-year-olds dropped by one-third, according to Pew Charitable Trusts, a public-policy and research group.
By 2004, those voters started returning to the polls, motivated by the economy and jobs, terrorism and national security, and the war in Iraq.
Robert Lundberg, 32, of Phoenix, said he was ready to get involved this year.
"Bush didn't ask us to sacrifice. After 9/11, he told us to go shopping," Lundberg said. "The new president will ask us to get involved in volunteer work and serve in the community. That energized me."
Twenge cautioned, however, that it is too early to be certain that this new generation of voters will stay motivated.
"Becoming Barack Obama's friend on Facebook and going to vote for him is great," Twenge said. "But it's fairly low effort. Actually getting involved takes a lot more effort."
Historian Baick says the young people who voted for President Kennedy made a difference because they stuck around. They became part of the "political culture."
"We did not see that with either President Bush or President Clinton," he said.
But, Baick said, the Obama campaign already has made progress by directly communicating with this generation.
"He has created, in 20 months, a new generation of networked and politically active people," Baick said. "It will be normal for them to be involved in politics. They are getting e-mails and text messages from Barack Obama. That's their normal."
On the day after the election, Janet Smith, a 34-year-old office worker in Chicago, was riding a bus west on Chicago Avenue toward her home.
She voted for Obama. It was the first time she voted.
"Last night was history, but I think it can start people," Smith said Wednesday. "If it doesn't, then what have we really done?"

Something new from the boys at Towee. Check out their announcement below, and head over to their blog for a few more pictures.
Towee Boats is pleased to announce the release of the newest member of their Rivermaster series – The Seminole. In 2010, Towee introduced the Rivermaster Calusa, the technical skiff that invented the term "Crossover Skiff". Equally outstanding at poling the flats and marshes as it is power drifting rocky rivers with a prop or jet – the Calusa set a new standard for performance, quality, stability, durability and utility while winning a place in the stables of guides and anglers from Alaska to Key West and Canada to Cost Rica.
The Seminole joins the Rivermaster family as the answer to literally hundreds of calls that we have received from anglers who have asked for a value priced skiff without having to sacrifice quality. The Seminole borrows the same hull design as the Calusa yet is laminated with more traditional materials than those used in the Calusa. An open , clean interior features a huge rear casting deck with a large storage tunnel underneath. A simple hull bottom floor gives way to a massive forward casting deck with an even larger storage tunnel underneath for stowing bulky gear. These storage tunnels eliminate the cost of hatches while providing a place to keep you gear out of the way.
Precisely targeting the available options list keeps the Seminole priced affordably and allows them to be delivered quickly. Available options include:
- Adding a Large Calusa Style Bow Cap for Bow Mount Trolling Motor
- Anchor Systems
- Navigation Lights
- Galvanized Trailer
- Poling Platform
- Oarlocks
We certainly didn't want to build a great skiff like the Seminole and then package it with a cheap "boat dealer" grade trailer that would let you down when you needed it most. We went back to work with our trailer supplier and developed a trailer that offers a heavy frame, full sized tires and walk on steel fenders. The Seminole trailer is perfect not only for everyday use but won't let you down when the open road calls.
The Seminole delivers serious value in a package that will meet the needs of 75% of all anglers and offers the legendary performance and stability of the Rivermaster hull at an even more affordable price of $4999 for skiff and trailer. Email us at email@example.com or call 931-224-8181 to discuss your new Seminole.

If you're traveling to Great Britain and hope to enjoy your stay, your experience will depend on good planning, clever packing and knowledge of how to have fun while keeping safe. Great Britain is a fantastic destination because there is so much to see in one small geographical area, with it being the third most populous island in the world after Java and Honshu.[1] X Research source
Part 1 of 3:
Planning Your Trip to Great Britain
1Check out travel websites on Great Britain travel. It's also a good idea to buy (or borrow) a travel guide on the area, such as Lonely Planet or Rough Guide. By looking through websites, blogs and travel guides, you'll find out the recommended places to visit, the places to stay and things to do. Travel guides will help you to budget, as they usually offer budget, medium and high cost alternatives for accommodations and activities to do.
- Check out blogs of people who have traveled through Great Britain. These are the perfect place to find non-mainstream things to do.
- Find out what the locals do. This is always a good key to finding the cheaper entertainment and even free things. For example, having fish and chips on a jetty by the sea, or visiting a local gypsy fair.
- You don't have to buy travel guides; many libraries carry them and borrowing them lets you view many of them rather than sticking to just one.
2Decide how much of Great Britain you wish to see. Great Britain consists of England, Scotland and Wales.[1] X Research source That gives you a huge range of different places to visit, along with lots of different possible cultural activities to be a part of. For starters, there are three capital cities, London, Edinburgh and Cardiff, plus many major cities. Then there are many smaller cities, towns and villages, as well as the countryside. It's unlikely you have the time to visit everywhere, so you'll need to refine your visits to what is doable.
- Remember that the capital cities are big, especially London, and can definitely make a visit in their own right.
- Map out your visit using an online or a paper map. Check the distances and suggested traveling times. Make sure you have up-to-date traveling times, as these change in time, given traffic congestion, new roads, etc.
3Think about whether there are specific things you want to see in Great Britain. Some people have really defined notions of what they're keen on seeing and this can make organizing the trip more interesting. If you have a "theme" or particular interest, it can make your visit really enjoyable, as you can pick particular places and check them off one by one. Everything else will become a supporting act to each main feature you're wanting to see. A themed trip can be as mainstream or as unique as you'd like to make it; there is no right or wrong about following your interests.
- For example, you could pick themes such as: Stonehenge and other ancient spiritual places, Roman ruins, the homes of Victorian writers, Shakespeare's country, great castles of Great Britain, famous royal places, green buildings, fun things such as the London Eye, great cathedrals, wildlife or bird life of Britain, posh places to stay, transportation museums, etc. The opportunities are endless!
4Consider how you'd like to get around the country. With the emphasis on "enjoying" your visit, you'll need to choose the transportation means that you love most. There are lots of possibilities, some more pricey than others. For example, you could hire a car, giving you lots of freedom of going everywhere but beware that gas (petrol) may be a lot costlier than what you're used to in the United States, Canada or Australia. Also, there is a lot of traffic and even though the distances may seem small, you can get caught up in traffic snarls easily, especially coming into large cities such as London. Other options include trains (also expensive), cycling (in some areas), canal boating (in some areas), walking (in cities and parts of the countryside), buses and flights. The drawback with flights is that you miss whatever passes between you and the place you've just left but it will speed up your visits to different places. Do check the difference between airfares and train fares though; you may find the flights work out cheaper.
5If you can book ahead, you can save time, money and worries. Try to book things such as tickets, travel deals, hotels and the like online, before you arrive. That said, don't overbook; you don't want to remove the spontaneity of travel, giving yourself the flexibility to make changes or to follow new leads. It all depends on how certain you need to feel before you leave.Advertisement
Part 2 of 3:
Packing for Great Britain
1Pack the right clothes for the season and climate. Britain's climate is temperate, often rainy, frequently overcast and often unpredictable. For example, you will often need a raincoat or umbrella during the fall and spring. Pack heavy jackets and articles of clothes that you would wear in the snow if you are touring in the winter.
- London can be quite humid during summer and even during spring and autumn, due to its own heat generation from being such a large city. As such, layering of clothing is a good way to cope if you're walking around the city a great deal; this will help prevent you from overheating.
Part 3 of 3:
Enjoying Your Visit
1Take your camera along when you go sightseeing. Taking pictures will make your experience more memorable. If you are on a family trip and you are taking a family picture, take a silly one now and then, just for fun. It may seem like a waste of time if you hate pictures, but when you are older, you will reflect on the pictures and see how much fun you had.
- For a great silly picture, stand next to a Beefeater in London and try to make the Beefeater laugh. They are not allowed to flinch, let along acknowledge your presence, so the photo can be quite entertaining.
2Talk to the locals. Don't keep to yourself! Get immersed in the culture by starting up a conversation with people. The pub is a great place to do this, but you can be bold and talk to people in many places, such as the tourist office, local shops, in the park, etc. The locals are the "real deal" and if they thing you're a good egg, they might just even let you into some local secrets about gems to visit or great things to try.
- Some places are inappropriate for striking up a conversation. For example, on the London Tube. Don't even try cracking a smile there. It is just not the done thing.
3Minimize the use of electronics on your trip. All you will remember was that you were text messaging your friends and listening to your iPod the whole time if you feel overly attached to your gizmos, and you will not have as much fun. Keep texting and emailing for the hotel room at night, just before bed.
4Be security conscious. Nothing ruins a good trip more than losing your stuff or having things stolen. Try to shore yourself up against this happening. As with traveling anywhere you are not familiar with, it pays to be sensible.
- Keep a copy of your ID papers somewhere other than on you, maybe online, saved in an email to yourself. If you end up losing them, to have at least a copy to prove who you are.
- Don't keep all your money in the same place; have some spare money hidden in various bags, pockets in case. Traveler's checks are still a good standby, as if they're lost or stolen, they can be canceled and reissued.
- Don't keep too much cash on you, better use debit cards with limited amounts so if they get lost, you have possibility to instantly block them.
5Have a positive attitude. Expect to have a good time, to learn new things about the countries you're visiting and to have your mind opened by new experiences. Just because things are not done or thought about in the same way as back at home, doesn't mean they're wrong, odd or confronting. Be open to what you can learn and take home; you may even discover better ways of doing or thinking about some things!
6If you are not from Britain, try to learn some of the words British use and how they use them. Understanding local words and dialects can help you to become more deeply immersed in someone the local culture.Advertisement
Community Q&A
- What time of the year do you want to visit? Great Britain offers different things depending on the season. Things to think about include: Summer is the high season, so there will be lots of tourists, school children and local travelers about; winter is cold (and damp) in many parts of Britain; spring produces all the delightful blossoms and flowers in the countryside; some seasons offer better accommodation deals than others, due to the lower amount of tourists about, etc.Thanks!
- Any trip is only as good as the planning and effort you put into it. If you're not willing to study up before you leave, you'll likely miss out on great opportunities available to you.Thanks!

As you may have noticed from our blog, we are obsessed with t-shirts here at Spreadshirt, but obsessed in a good way. We want everyone who orders a Spreadshirt to be thrilled with their shirt and part of that is helping you order the right size. T-shirts can be tricky things – since they are mostly cotton there is a little bit of shrinking that takes place. We are always testing, washing, testing, photographing, washing, wearing shirts to make sure they are top quality. So we thought we would share some of our research with you. This is our first Test Lab post and we are starting with a look at the American Apparel men's t-shirt.
In order to find out how good the AA shirts actually are, we went to our Spreadshirt Testlab for the very first time. Markus, a guy from production, took a bunch of black AA tees, washed time up to 20 times and checked how the lengths of the shirts, the lengths of the sleeves, the chest and the waist widths developed. We were also able to take a look at how the color and the fabric changed with washings.
Here´s the highly scientific setup:
- Products: American Apparel Men´s shirts
- Exact product name: AA 2001 Fine Jersey Short Sleeve T-Shirt
- Color: black
- Sizes: S to XXL
- 1 regular washing machine
- middle-class laundry detergent
- 1 special shirt measuring tape
- 20 washes
- measuring-sessions after 5, 10 and 20 washes
and the findings:
Length (A)
- in average, the shirts got 1.02 inches shorter – the XL-shirt performed best and only lost 0.39 inches
- overall it showed that small sizes lost more in length (about 1.18 inches) than big sizes (about 0.59 inches)
- result: it lost about -3.5%
Chest Width (B)
- on average, the shirts got about 0.75 inches tighter
- for the chest width as well, Ss and Ms lost more width (about 1.18 inches) than the large shirts (about 0.39 inches)
- result: it lost about -3.7%
Waist Width (C)
- the shirts lost about 0.87 inches waist width in average
- the average loss for small and medium was 1.06 inches and 0.59 inches for XL and XXL
- result: it lost about -4.0%
Sleeve Length (D)
- the sleeve lengths were the most stable measurements in the test – in average, the shirts lost only 0.28 inches in sleeve length
- the effect was a little stronger for the big shirts (about 0.39 inches) than it was for the smaller ones (about 0.2 inches)
- result: it lost about -3.2%
Wrap-Up: Size
- see an AA shirt (large) worn by Tobi (size: 6.1 feet)
- after 0, 5, 10 and 20 washes
Changes in Color and Fabric after Washing:
- saturation gets a little lower
- fabric gets a little linty
When it comes to shrinking, the AA shirts couldn´t totally satisfy my expectations. Especially when buying smaller sizes – depending on how one wants the shirts to fit – one should think about going for a larger shirt as the shirts come relatively fitted anyway.
However, what I found to be very positive is that the shirts overall shape stays stable. While you find other shirts to look like "As" or "Us" (the bottom and the neck often stretch out) after several washes, the AA keeps looking like a "T". Also the collar – generally an Achilles heel of blank shirts, doesn´t lose shape.
The intensity of the black gets a little lower which I guess is a very common effect which could maybe be reduced by using better washing powder.

Circle w/ Disney. What do you think?
Wife is wanting to check out Circle with Disney for control of wifi devices on our home network. I am always skeptical and a little paranoid about what I bring on to my home network and am really wanting to check this thing out.
According to their website, it works by ARP spoofing and pulls database information from Circle servers on up to date information. The circle servers are also accessed to relay information to you while you are outside the network. They are saying that it is safe and private and is saying all of the right things, but I'm still skeptical.
I also did a google search on "circle with disney hacked" and got rubbish.
Has anybody had any experience with this thing? If so, what are your thoughts?

I see the price is 99. Ive not used one, but perhaps for that price you could get content filtering on a pfsense type software and just put that on existing hardware in your home network.
edit: although not sure if it can have the 'break time' feature or not like the Circle does.
Then what stops me from putting a firewall with a webfilter and radius to the device?
Are there any open source alternatives?
Nothing clean and easy to use.
Using pfSense and some add on is going to be the closest.
Untangle would be next.
But for anything good and solid you will need a service like circle offers from someone.
Obsolesce last edited by
What if you went the DNS route such as OpenDNS or something similar. You could configure your home router to use that if you need filtering. There are others, OpenDNS just came to mind first.
@Tim_G said in Circle w/ Disney. What do you think?:

Circle is much more than filtering. It is also flat killing the service and such if you want.

Circle has evolved much more to even pn the 4G service. I have my own review of it that I can share. It is actually not controlled by DNS but rather by device. I had it for two months before the 4G service as a trial and worked as intended but the hardest part was to control it remotely, I needed to be at home or my wife and the Android apps wasn't that great. I would think Untangle can do the sam as well. I can share my review if you want.
To be honest I am using OpenDNs right now.

Name of Business: Swim Craze
What's all the craze with Swim Craze?
My brand is custom swimwear everything is hand sewn. Creating flattering suits, with fun prints, and sexy cutouts. Swim Craze designs are for the sexy, confident woman.
What made you want to design swimsuits?
I launched my business March of 2015 but I started making swimwear about four
years ago exclusively for me & friends. My inspiration came when I would always envision how I wanted my next swimsuit to look but I could never find it, or if I found something close it was overpriced. I later gained a passion for creating swimwear for myself and others.
Why open a business in Detroit?
I was inspired by the feedback from my exclusive line from many Detroiters.
As a fashion designer and with the summer fastly approaching, do you have any upcoming events or fashion shows?
I will be showcasing my new swimwear collection on Saturday, April 2, 2016 7 pm. At Club Reign Lush Lingerie and Swimwear Fashion Show.
What is it that you love about the City of Detroit?
I love the events and all activities that are going on throughout the city there is always something to do.
Best place to be in Detroit on a beautiful day and why?
Best place to be is the Detroit River walk on a beautiful day, you can work out, enjoy the weather with family, & great scenery for a photo shoot.

Today for week 3 of my "Technology 4 Teachers" class, I introduced students to a backchannel using Etherpad. This was my first time to use Etherpad with students, previously I've used Chatzy as well as the chat feature within Google Presentations. The first big surprise was there is a 16 simultaneous user limit for Etherpad currently. Google bought AppJet (creators of Etherpad) back in December of 2009, and new paid accounts are currently not available. Free pads can still be created and used until the end of March 2010. The fact that students did not have to create accounts and could IMMEDIATELY start collaborating on Etherpad was WONDERFUL.
I really liked how Etherpad provides a shared document space, with everyone having their own text color automatically, as well as the chat area. The design and functionality reminds me of the Mac-only software SubEthaEdit, which I used a few times with collaborative teams in 2003-2005. The chat window on the right side is ok, but it's great the focus of the collaborative space is a shared document. I used this to better effect in my second class than in the first today.
The most amazing thing about Etherpad, however, is the "time slider" view which allows anyone to re-create the document collaboration as it happened. You can move a slider at the top of the Etherpad and dynamically show the change over time in the document as edits were made. This is AMAZING!
I am glad Google opted to release Etherpad as an open source project, but I certainly don't have the geek-quotient to take that code and put it on my own hosted server. I'd love to have my own installation of Etherpad to use with students in my classes as well as in presentations / workshops. I'm wondering if this is something I could affordably outsource using a site like RentACoder?
Has anyone setup Etherpad for educational use on your own server, or do you know of someone who has? What's the best way to go about getting Etherpad setup privately on a hosted server account? (Like Siteground or Bluehost)
Learn more about backchannels in Scott H. Snyder's 2008 K-12 Online Conference presentation, "Back-channels in the Classroom."
Have you had experiences, good or bad, using backchannels with students in 1:1 settings? Do you have other backchannel recommendations in addition to Chatzy and Etherpad? Scott referenced Backnoise, Chatterous, and TodaysMeet in his presentation, but I haven't used any of those or seen them in action yet to form opinions.

Father, son investment advisers sanctioned by Securities Commissioner
DENVER — Colorado Securities Commissioner Gerald Rome has approved the sanctions against investment adviser firm Luna Investment Services, Inc. (LIS), along with Richard Luna and Gabe Luna following a violation of a 2011 cease and desist order to which the elder Luna (Richard) had agreed.
In March of 2011 Richard Luna was owner of LIS, and Gabe Luna was a licensed investment adviser representative with the firm. Richard Luna, personally and on behalf of the firm, executed an order with the Division of Securities wherein he agreed not to borrow money from clients, a practice the firm had been engaged in that was in violation of the Colorado Securities Act.
Despite agreeing to cease and desist all violations, between the years of 2011 and 2017 the Division of Securities, part of the Department of Regulatory Agencies (DORA), discovered that both Luna advisers had engaged in borrowing money from investors through the use of promissory notes. The borrowed amounts total more than $3 million.
"When the Division stipulates to an agreement with a licensee over conduct that violates our laws, we expect them to take it seriously," stated Rome. "Because Richard Luna failed to do so, we believe a bar from the securities industry is an appropriate sanction. And the required use of an outside compliance consultant by Gabe Luna will ensure that his firm fully complies with our rules in the future."
As part of the Division's newest sanctions, Richard Luna is barred from the securities industry in Colorado, and has agreed to never reapply for licensure. Gabe Luna agrees to cease and desist all violations of the Securities Act, and will be issued a letter of censure that he will be required to disclose to prospective clients. LIS and Gabe Luna will retain a compliance specialist for a period of three years to review current policy and develop new procedures for the firm. Gabe Luna will also pay a fine to the Division.
In signing the agreement, the Respondents agree that any further violation of the order will lead to formal proceedings.

In Florida, it's practically impossible to escape one's poor decision thanks to dozens of websites that exist to repost mugshots and charge offenders to take them down. The effect of this cottage industry on vulnerable offenders is well-documented, and it can cost thousands of dollars to clear one's Google search results after being charged with a crime.
In 2011, Wired broke the story on how Florida's insanely liberal public records coupled with some algorithm profiteers were making a killing through humiliation tactics. The magazine piece focused on florida.arrests.org, which is run by a ex-con. Last October, the New York Times wrote about how mugshot sites tarnish peoples' lives long after they've been cleared of -- or served time for -- the crimes they've been charged with. (Full disclosure: Both New Times papers have re-posted mugshots in regular blog features.)
But all that might be about to change. Late last year, the New York Times reported that Google, Mastercard, Discover, American Express and PayPal wished to sever their ties with the industry.
The latest blow came last Friday, when a Tampa judge found that the republishing of mugshots for profit is in violation of a state statute. Arthur D'Antonio, who is behind the websites justmugshots.com and mugshots.mobi, must now face charges of privacy invasion and unfair trade. The statute in question reads: "No person shall publish, print, display, or otherwise publicly use for purposes of trade or for any commercial or advertising purpose the name, portrait, photograph, or other likeness of any natural person without the express written or oral consent to such use....

The suit against D'Antonio was filed by Shannon Bilotta, a Pinellas county woman who was charged with battery in June. The 43-year-old Largo woman's mug is still visible on the site. Justmugshots also features links to unpublishing services and other advertisements, a federal judge noted. The sites owner, D'Antonio, has 14 days to respond to the complaint against him.
