Posted to Ireland in the WRNS, Constance marries Fergus, a gregarious Irishman. Before long, stifled by domesticity and motherhood, she envies Sheila, writing poetry and married to the fiercely creative Miles. Gradually, however, a different reality emerges, for Constance has unacknowledged talents of her own, while Sheila's public success is bought at great personal cost. From the war to the 1980s, Constance writes to Sheila of her everyday hopes and sorrows, and through her we learn much of Sheila's gallantry and courage. We learn, too, of the social and political developments that challenge and shape her values, until finally outside events come too close and the fragile balance of Constance's own world is threatened.This is an unforgettable portrait of a friendship, and much more. While Letters from Constance explores personal experiences with humour, tenderness and acuity, it is an equally fascinating microcosm of the years it surveys. Beautifully done . . . a genuine pleasure to read Anita Brookner I don't know which I liked better, the letters from Constance - so warm and witty - or Constance herself.

No one can see their reflection in running water.
It is only in still water that we can see. (Lao Tzu)
A friend of mine was telling me about the new apartment he and his family have bought. The building is under construction, and is located in a prestigious part of a major city. We got into a discussion about choosing where to live. He prefers large cities, and I prefer living far from a city (although I work in cities).
I mentioned that one can get a lot more house for the money in small towns or in the country. My friend pointed out that people don't choose to live in cities because they are expensive, but rather cities are expensive because everyone wants to live there. He assured me I needn't worry about hordes of city folk pouring into the desert to escape the city, because most people don't want to escape the city.
He mentioned there are a million things to do in a city. I countered there are a million things to do in the desert, too. You can look at this cactus, you can look at that cactus…there's a million of them.
Actually, there's more to see in the desert than just cactus, but his point is well taken. It took me only a few seconds to think of several good reasons to live in a city:
- Vibrant social life
- Many and varied cultural activities
- Many jobs available
- Strong market for small businesses
- Exposure to cultural diversity
- Professional sports franchises
- Easy access to shopping, entertainment, etc.
- Mass transit systems
- Generally good public education
- Inexpensive city universities (in some cities)
- Feeling of association with a place that defines you
- Access to major airports, train stations
You can probably think of more.
I've lived in big cities and I understand the benefits, but there's another side to the coin.
Continuous noise and stress, with no respite, grinds a person down. Even individuals who thrive in a fast-paced, vibrant urban environment have to pause from time to time, to clear their minds and center themselves. In most large cities, it's all but impossible to find a quiet spot.
The sounds of sirens, truck engines, construction, traffic, and crowds are always present. You might find a relatively quiet spot somewhere between buildings, in a courtyard, or inside an apartment that doesn't face the street, but the sounds of the city are still audible. (And no, a yoga studio located seven feet from a busy street isn't what I mean by "quiet.")
It isn't only a question of noise. There's also the smell. Walk along a sidewalk in New York City, and you smell the garbage that awaits pickup in front of the buildings. When there's a garbage strike, the smell is inescapable. When your nose isn't assaulted by the scent of garbage, it is stung by the smell of vehicle exhaust fumes.
And then there's the light. It's never really dark in a city. When I mentioned that the darkness of night in the desert impressed me, another friend insisted that it isn't really dark in the desert because you can see perfectly well by starlight or moonlight. He said he had once visited a cave, and that was truly dark.
His comment provides a good example of the way cities can rob us of perspective. When I said it was dark in the desert, I didn't mean it was pitch black. I meant it was dark enough to see the sky. The light didn't come from light bulbs. The starlight isn't blocked by smog.
There are other stress factors that people tend to overlook, as well. You can find the best of everything in a big city, and the worst of everything can find you, too. The necessity to maintain a high state of situational awareness at all times creates stress. Yes, you can walk everywhere, but when you do so you have to be alert. You can't relax. Ever. And that's when you aren't even doing anything. You're just walking, or using the subway or buses.
As I write this, there's a news report of random knife attacks on the New York subway system. That situation won't last long, but then there will be something else. There's always something, and not only in New York, but in all cities. You can never relax.
If you don't happen to live close enough to your job to walk or take public transit, then you're in traffic. Heavy traffic. Probably for an hour or more each way. Stop and go. Stressed-out drivers trying to wedge their way into the stream. Fender-benders avoided by mere centimeters; probably many times each day. By the time you arrive at the office, you're already stressed out, and you haven't even begun to work yet (unless you attended a meeting by phone while you were driving in).
A question worth asking is: What effect does all this noise and bustling around have on your effectiveness on the job? Can you bring to bear the full measure of your creativity? Can you maintain focused thought long enough to complete a task?
Can you even tell that you're stressed out, or are you so habituated to it that you don't even notice?
I haven't always lived in the desert. When I first moved here, and I began to take walks, I was astonished at the effect it had. The quiet is palpable (and no, I don't mean that you lose your sense of hearing, Mr. Cave; I mean you can hear real things instead of traffic noise). You can actually slow down enough to think.
It's peaceful enough that you can discover things you didn't know were waiting to be discovered. Things you can take back to the city with you, because they are inside you.
Live in a city if it suits you, but I suggest you get away from the city occasionally to decompress. You might be surprised at the positive effects.
Does this have anything to do with "effective software development?" If the connection isn't clear to you, then maybe you're due for a walk in the desert.

apologies if this is not the correct place to ask this question.
I need to use a USB camera with a long extension (something like this http://www.lightinthebox.com/5m-usb-waterproof-borescope-endoscope-mini-inspection-snake-tube-home-camera_p344225.html) in the field without a laptop. I don't necessarily need to record anything - only view the image on a screen. Is it possible to buy a battery-operated screen / monitor compatible with these USB webcams / borescopes? Or even a cheap tablet computer? Basically, a cheaper option than buying a handheld inspection camera (http://www.toolstop.co.uk/ridgid-micro-ca-100-36738-hand-held-inspection-camera-p14976) with £££s worth of extension tubes?

White House budget makes HIT a priority
The White House has released President Barack Obama's expanded fiscal year 2010 budget, with a continued commitment to advancing healthcare IT as a way to cut healthcare costs and save lives.
Obama's $3.4 trillion federal budget, expanded in detail from the outline he presented to Congress 10 weeks ago, includes $879 billion for the Department of Health and Human Services, an estimated $63 billion increase over fiscal year 2009.
The Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) is expected to receive $372,053,000 to conduct research on comparative effectiveness, prevention and care management, value research, health information technology and patient safety. In addition, the AHRQ will use the funding to support research it conducts with other agencies.
The president's budget for AHRQ will be in addition to the $1.1 billion allotted for comparative effectiveness research under the stimulus package.
Obama's plan calls for $635 billion over 10 years as a "downpayment" toward health reform. In a press conference Thursday afternoon, Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius called it "a smart investment."
"No one should underestimate President Obama's commitment to getting healthcare reform this year," she said.
"This budget sends a clear message that we can't afford to wait any longer if we want to get healthcare costs under control and improve our fiscal outlook," she added.
The budget calls for improving efficiencies and bringing down costs in Medicare and Medicaid through reform, as well as cracking down on fraud.
"We estimate that for every $1 we spend to stop fraud in the system, we save $1.55," Sebelius said. "The president's budget lays out funding for anti-fraud efforts over five years that we estimate could save $2.7 billion by improving overall oversight and stopping fraud and abuse within the Medicare Advantage and Medicare prescription drug programs."
The president's 2010 budget would increase access and improve the quality of care for rural Americans and includes increased funding for Native American healthcare. The budget also calls for more than $1 billion in funding to increase the number of nurses, doctors and healthcare workers, with a focus on underserved areas.
The budget sets aside $584 million to help prepare for and combat pandemic flu and increases funding for the Food and Drug Administration to help ensure the safety of food and medicine.
In addition to budget recommendations, the president announced some budget cuts on Thursday.
Obama said he has charged the Office of Management and Budget to go through the current federal budget "program by program, item by item, line by line" to find ways to save tax dollars.
"Today, the budget office is releasing a first report in this process: a list of more than one hundred programs slated to be reduced or eliminated altogether. And the process is ongoing," he said.
All told, the president is recommending 121 budget cuts that are designed toi save $17 billion next year. Included among them is the elimination of federal subsidies for health insurance companies through Medicare, which the president expects will save roughly $22 billion each year, starting in 2012. Obama said this is part of a broader effort to reduce healthcare costs.
With the Congressional budget resolution passed, it's up to the various appropriations committees to allot the funding for a final vote, usually by some time in the fall.

The Platforms ( And surrounding spaces )
I feel I took a great liberty with my application of "Platforms" in my design. But my reasoning was simple.
There were so many mentions in the narrative about the hull being a smooth, cigar shape when submerged and especially when ramming, with nothing protruding from the curved hull, I could find no rendering, old or new, that would fit the description. All views, illustrations, drawings, computer renderings and photos had the platform extended as a flat surface above the curved hull. When Nemo took the Nautilus into battle or even in his fight with the ice at the South Pole, any and all protrusions; Wheelhouse, Railing and Searchlight were retracted. They were either pushed down, folded down of otherwise made non-obstructive.
I determined that if the Platform was a recessed flat surface, although not specifically described as such, would not contradict any statement in the narrative related to it. Yet this would provide the walking surface the Captain and crew needed while not protruding above the hull line. Drain holes would be applied along the starboard and port sides so water would drain away when on the surface. In addition, by being recessed, the Main Hatch and bulge of the Dinghy would also be lower so as to not hinder the hull slipping through any obstacle. Recessing the Forward Hatch so it would be flush with the hull when closed would have been a simple measure for Nemo.
My inclusion of a second, Aft Platform, was born from simple necessity. And extending the Forward Platform back past the Searchlight was far too impractical for an engineer who could create so many other efficient elements of the boat. So after reading over and over how the crew brought in the massive catches of sea creatures from the trawling nets, trying to find a location for the multiple hatches specified by the narrative, I elected to place a smaller but wider Platform aft of the Searchlight and allowing an efficient place for the hatches into the deck below. The only practical location for hatches was just forward of the Mechanical Room bulkhead and aft of the amidships compartments. While not contradicting and narrative, the result was giving extra work space on deck for the handling of the catches and two hatches for getting all that fish and other creatures below decks. These hatches were also in a good location for helping the frequent ventilation of stale air as well. The Aft Hatch Corridor below was also closer to the Galley and its store rooms than any other access.
Even after I had added this recessed Aft Platform to my design, I realized another advantage. Lines could be attached to rings on the Platform, draped over the side while on the surface and used to haul up the nets from Nemo's under sea farming once the dive is complete and they're back on the surface again. When I thought about the crew trying to bring all that load through the Diving Chamber Hatch while still in diving gear, traipsing it through nearly the entire ship to the Galley storage, I realize the two Aft Hatches could be of great help. That Aft Hatch Corridor could also hold nets and things handily for surface work. Meanwhile, when ready to dive, the two hatch covers would be shallow enough to be well below the hull curvature and not impair any external objects.
And, like the longer Main Platform, drain holes would be installed along both sides.
Ch 5: "We had to use very powerful tackle to hoist that dugong (manatee) up onto the Platform" They cut up that 5,000 kg creature on-deck. 5,000kg = 11,023lbs. ( Normal adult dugong is 900 kg or 1,984 lb. How do you hoist an 11,000 pound animal up onto the desk? Sounds a bit 'fishy' to me. )
At the end of Ch 41, near Dutch Guiana while catching huge turtles and other creatures;
The crew tied a ring to a fish tail, the ring to a rope, the rope fastened to the Platform Railing for catching the very large animals. This railing had to be of large scale and very strong. These turtles and several Cacuanes (a yard long and 400 lbs.) could not be taken on-board through the main hatch.
Ch 18: Aronnax: "I reckoned that cast of the nets brought in more than 1,000 pounds of fish." This seems to lend even more credibility to my Aft Platform and Aft Hatches.
Ch 20: Aronnax: "Before us rose the Pilothouse in which, I was sure, Captain Nemo himself was at the helm." So Aronnax could not see into the raised Wheelhouse.
Aronnax couldn't see into the Wheelhouse to make out who was piloting from a vantage point right behind it on the Platform. Possibly a little support for my including the curtain on the rear window to block the Searchlight. But can be opened for normal surface daytime viewing rearward.
No dimensions of the Main Platform were ever supplied, but some assumptions must be made:
The Dinghy is a "slight bulge" located in the center(?) of the platform.
The Dinghy bulge is tall enough for Aronnax to sit upon. ( But low enough not to be ripped off when ramming.)
This small boat is approximated at 6′ x 15′ from many old and new designs of "small dinghies" for planning of the platform size.
The Main Hatch must be aft of the Dinghy. Forward would not work with the rest of the narrative.
I tried placing the dinghy upside-down as depicted by others, but ran into many issues and conflicts. Plus, Verne did not describe it that way, only how it was accessed.
Entering upside-down might work, but bringing that heavy dinghy back from the sea and re-seating it for submerging, upside-down, would have presented many difficulties for the crew and other issues. Tough enough when upright.
I made my Platform nine feet wide, which puts it only three feet from the waters edge on each side and two and a half feet above that waterline.
There are various references to ladders and to stairs, although central staircase is prevalent. Perhaps we should consider that "ladder" is the nautical term for stair?
Can a "ladder" be a term used for a spiral staircase?
In the film "The Hunt for Red October", the captain uses the exclamation "Down Ladder! Make a hole!" to clear people from his path down a stairway. Possibly 'ladder' is a Navy term used for any form of steps
From the description, the top hull was smooth, polished and only 3 feet above the water line.
If the platform is recessed rather than elevated above the hull plates, it makes more sense for that smooth hull.
There were platform handrails depicted in some original art work, but not all. But a railing could be folded down into a depressed trough and easily locked with clamps.
Ch 45: Here it's noted that the railing was folded down in preparation for the final battle. "First they lowered the iron railing around the Platform, and then they pushed the Pilot's Cage and the Searchlight Cage down into the hull until they were flush with the deck. Now, nothing protruded from the long, steel surface of the cigar-shaped ship; there was nothing to hamper its freedom of movement."
By description, the firm railing was there, just not depicted in the original art. So I elected to include the folding handrail in my design,
"Near the middle of the platform the dinghy, half buried in the hull…formed a slight bulge." Logistics and Verne's text don't allow the dinghy to be truly centered in the platform.
All other attempts on locating the dinghy, including mine, require great effort by the crew to remove it, get it into the water and, even more difficult, retrieving this skiff and restoring it back again. Even more arduous would be handling the dinghy if stored upside-down. Regardless of Verne's reference to the dinghy being "light" in weight, I expect it was very heavier than that due to size and sea worthy materials.
I may have been able to reverse the central staircase so the dinghy could have been moved farther to the middle of the platform. However, from the tone of the castaways speaking on-deck, they seemed more comfortable sitting on the dinghy 'hump' while being near the Wheelhouse watching the Helmsman. So my placement has specific reasoning.
CH 6: However, here Aronnax says; "We all three went to find seats near the Beacon, where we were less exposed to the spray from the waves." I considered trying to relocate the Dinghy farther aft, but that caused more conflicts than leaving it as is. I suppose with my design, they may have sat on the retracted cover from the Main Hatch, the edge of the recessed Platform or even the bare hull itself, as they did on first arrival. Regardless, I didn't feel this warranted any major adjustments and leave it to the readers/viewers preference.
In the narrative, it took quite a while for Aronnax to locate the 'platform' on the arrival of the three companions. "I searched all over the outside for an opening, a panel, a hatch, a manhole." It was stated that he found what 'seemed to be' a raised platform. After all those long hours, "Ned by chance felt a large mooring ring fastened to the upper part of the iron back." This mooring ring may be what I referred to earlier as used for dropping catch lines over the side. Even recessed such as I depict, it could be described as 'raised' above the curved hull. They must have been on the aft section of the hull, behind the recessed Aft Platform, stowage hatches and the retracted Searchlight. I estimate nearly 42 feet from the rear of the Aft Platform to the water line at the stern of the hull. I suppose that in the dark, our three survivors could have huddled on that much hull surface without noticing the Platforms or Hatches. After all those night time hours, it was after sunrise and they were finally in daylight. Still they saw not even an indication of a Wheelhouse, Searchlight, Dinghy outline, or other variation in the deck plates. Not by any of the three. Very strange.
Ch 7: It's also possible that they were taken down one of the Aft Hatches. "One of those iron plates was raised…"
Ch 8: "As soon as the narrow hatch was closed over me…" "I could tell that my naked feet were touching the rungs of an iron ladder."
This would be consistent with my narrow Aft Hatch and the ladder leading down. However, the bottom of that ladder is no where close to the Initial Cell. If the Crew's Quarters on the Upper Deck were switched with the Initial Cell on the Lower Deck, that would be a very close proximity to the original description. Then, upon release, the walk to the Dining Room would have included one flight of stairs down. Regardless how the pieces of this 'compartment logistics puzzle' is worked, all the rooms can not be exactly matched to the narrative description. But each of us who have tried to plan-out this vessel has done their best to make it all fit, one way or the other. All attempts simply show the various options available.

I didn't get a chance to start on the books last night, because when I
got home there were about a half dozen messages on my answering machine.
One was my boss wanting to know if I was coming in to work today. He said
everyone missing Friday was understandable, and wouldn't be held against
us, but we still had a business to run. I called him and told him that,
yes, I would be in today.
Another message was from an old girlfriend. We'd dated for a while years ago, and had broken up on good terms (really!). We stayed friends, but I hadn't heard from her since she'd gotten married about four years ago. In her message she said her husband and son were both among the missing, and she didn't know what to do. I called her back, and after getting her calmed down, I told her to get some things together and go stay with her sister for a while until this all got cleared up, and that I was sure her husband and son were all right and would turn up soon. (Actually, I wasn't sure of anything of the sort, but it wasn't the time for total candor.)
By the time I had returned the calls that were worth returning, it was too late to get started on the books I had borrowed. I vowed I would start reading them tonight no matter what.
Day 5
Didn't get a lot of sleep last night, either, but for a totally different reason. If what I read in those books is right, we're all going to be in big trouble soon. I need to read some more and think about this.

Jackson Godspeed is the hottest young Angel in a city filled with them.
He's days away from becoming a full Guardian, and people around the world are already competing for the chance to be watched over by him. Everyone's obsessed with the Angels and the lucky people they protect – everyone except for Madison Montgomery.
Maddy's the one girl in Angel City who doesn't breathlessly follow the Angels on TV and gossip blogs. When she meets Jackson, she doesn't recognize him. But Jackson is instantly captivated by her, and against all odds the two fall in love.
Maddy is swiftly caught up in Jackson's scene, a world of glamour, paparazzi – and murder. A serial killer is on the loose, leaving dead Angels' wings for the police to find on the Walk of Fame. Even the Guardians are powerless to protect themselves in the face of this threat and this time it's up to Maddy to save Jackson. Goodreads
Stars: 3.5/5
My thoughts: Immortal CIty is interesting. LA is Immortal CIty and angels are our stars. Instead of Starstruck a person was Angelstruck. I loved how Scott Speer showed how society is through this story. I think that was my favorite part of the whole book. It showed how we, as people, have this need to just know what is happening with these famous people.
Teenage girls are fixated on attractive these angels, but Maddy isn't. She doesn't care about angels… until Jacks walks into her Uncles diner. Soon she's thrust into his world, whether she wants to be or not. And she wants to. Maddy was an okay character. I think what got to me was every time she went through her whole,"He loves me, he loves me not," phase. When a guy calls you beautiful, tells you all the time you mean so much to me, I don't care about fame or what people think, he means it. I understand why she felt that way, I just wish she didn't repeat it all the time. Jacks was everything Maddy didn't care about. I actually like his character more and would have preferred if it was his POV altogether. He wasn't stuck-up and actually cared about important things. Maddy just woke him up even more.
I didn't want to read the book. It was on a whim. And it promised action. A serial killer. And that was in it only when a new killing came up. I thought this book was going to be about Maddy and Jacks on the run. Again, this happened at the end of the book. I know my problem: more action. I understand building a plot, it's important, but Maddy doesn't have an Nancy Drew moments. They both didn't know what was going on. Also, it felt like insta-love. I doubt a girl who has never looked twice at angels, would fall in love so fast with one. Jacks too just saw Maddy and started quoting Shakespeare.
I don't know. I really think the fact that everything, and I mean EVERYTHING, happened at the end of the book caused it to feel so slow. It was literally just Jacks and Maddy running around Immortal City and Maddy denying Jacks may actually like her. Also, this plot was really predictable. I called everything by the hundredth page. There was maybe TWO things that surprised me. I still enjoyed it. The last maybe 50 pages or so were the best of the book. That's why this book got 3.5 stars instead 2. The action picked up and I found my self on the edge of the seat.
I was going to read the sequel, but there's a love triangle *facepalm*. I hate love triangles. Jacks and Maddy were a cute couple, but instead of using an actual plot to makes them struggle through their relationship, Scott Speer chooses the Love Triangle. Yay. If you like a good romance and don't mind a predictable plot Immortal City is your kind of book. I'm upset because I did enjoy IC, but I despise love triangles, a main plot point that turns me away from a book. Between this and not getting to see the Divergent trailer my emotions are left feeling angry. I think it's up to you if you want to read this book.

Three British men were sentenced to four years in prison today after being found guilty of drug offences in Dubai.
Grant Cameron, Karl Williams and Suneet Jeerh claim they were tortured by police in the United Arab Emirates, with one family member alleging that her brother was punched, kicked, stripped naked and electrocuted.
Here we look at three other cases where Britons claimed to have been tortured by foreign authorities.
Backpacker Patrick Malluzzo was arrested in 2004 during a trip in India after one of his three bags was found to contain cannabis.
The bags were under train seats booked in Mr Malluzzo and a friend's name but the backpacker claims he was never on that carriage.
He claimed that the Indian police subjected him to brutal torture and forced him to make a televised confession.
It took two years for the trial to come to court where Mr Malluzzo could not understand the proceedings and was given no opportunity to give evidence.
He was found guilty and spent a total of seven years in an Indian jail where his health deteriorated badly.
The backpacker was transferred to a UK prison in February 2011.
United Arab Emirates
British national Amir Azam and his family moved to Dubai in 2002 to open a luxury car showroom.
In 2006, Mr Azam was found guilty of money laundering and drug smuggling and was sentenced to deportation and life imprisonment.
The Briton claims he was tortured into a confession by the police - an allegation that has not been investigated.
He also said that his defence rights had been violated because he was not offered an interpreter during his trial and there was no concrete evidence to support the prosecution's case.
Saudi Arabia
Seven men were jailed in 2000 after being accused of taking part in a bombing campaign in Saudi Arabia.
One attack killed British national Christopher Rodway.
Sandy Mitchell, Les Walker and William Sampson claimed they were tortured and forced to confess to the bombings.
Ron Jones, who was injured in a Riyadh blast, claimed he was beaten on his hands and feet, deprived of sleep and fed drugs in a bid to make him confess to the attacks.
Mr Jones was released after 67 days.
All the men were released by the Saudi Arabia authorities in 2003 after al-Qaeda coordinated an attack with nine suicide bombers, disproving the theory that the previous attacks had been motivated by an alcohol turf war between Westerners.
In 2004, the Court of Appeal ruled that Mr Mitchell, Mr Walker, Mr Jones and Mr Sampson could sue Saudi Arabia for damages.
However, that decision was overturned two years later when Saudi Arabia, supported by the British government, argued that they were protected by state immunity.

OSSA Awards: 2008 | 2007 | 2006 | 2005 | 2004
About the OSSA Awards: Categories | Design | Nominations | Process | Sponsorship
The Outstanding Sustainable Style Achievement (OSSA) Awards recognize outstanding social and environmental efforts across the many and diverse style and design industries that help us all "look fabulous, live well and do good". The OSSAs are designed to showcase the amount and breadth of sustainability efforts underway in style industries, as well as foster cross-industry awareness and inspiration. They are one of the few places where stylemakers, community organizations, businesses and government come together to celebrate the many ways we can make positive change in the world as we express ourselves in our individual style choices. Above all, the OSSAs provide incredible role models for us all to look up to.
The awards are presented as a part of SSF's "recognition and inspiration" program area, designed to highlight the best in sustainable style and showcase the positive power of making more sustainable lifestyle choices.
2007 Premier Awards
Style & Substance Award – Danny Kaye
For 2007, SSF's highest honor – The Style and Substance Award in Honor of Audrey Hepburn – was awarded posthumously to Danny Kaye. Danny Kaye was UNICEF's first Goodwill Ambassador. An entertainer loved and respected around the world, Kaye's relationship with UNICEF began in 1954 and lasted until his death in 1987. Kaye's first project with UNICEF was a documentary called Children about Kaye's tour of projects in Myanmar, India, Indonesia, Korea, Thailand and Japan. Underwritten by Paramount Pictures with profits going to UNICEF, the documentary was estimated to have reached more than 100 million people. During his tenure as Goodwill Ambassador traveled the world delivering speeches and informing people from all walks of life about children's needs around the world. Kaye focused the world's attention on children's issues throughout his life and continues to inspire many of his entertainment colleagues to lend their visibility to children's causes.
I believe deeply that children are more powerful than oil, more beautiful than rivers, more precious than any other natural resource a country can have. I feel that the most rewarding thing I have ever done in my life is to be associated with UNICEF."

Vision & Innovation Award – Seventh Generation
The 2007 Vision & Innovation Award was given to Seventh Generation, a leading brand of non-toxic and environmentally safe household products. With distribution in thousands of natural product and grocery stores in the US for over 15 years, they truly are an example of early vision and innovation that changed industry and how our personal lifestyle choices can make a difference. With a company name derived from the Iroquois belief that "in every deliberation, we must consider the impact of our decisions on the next seven generations," it is no surprises that Seventh Generation saw the value in looking at their product's longterm social and environmental impacts.
Outstanding Public Expression – Father and son, Nick & George Clooney
George Clooney and his father, journalist Nick Clooney, have been tireless activists in the effort to bring attention to the crisis in Darfur. Having spoken in front of the US Congress, the UN, and many other audiences, their work with Save Darfur has very successfully raised awareness and action on the crisis. Nick and George traveled through Sudan and Chad in April of 2006 to discuss the Darfur situation first hand and once again focused the world's attention on Darfur. In a speach before US Congress Clooney stated
"What we cannot do is turn our heads and look away and hope that this will somehow disappear. Because if we do, they will…an entire generation of people will be gone. Then, only history will be left to judge us.".
Youth Leadership Award – Teens for Safe Cosmetics
Teens for Safe Cosmetics, a program of Search for The Cause, is a group of young women raising awareness about potentially harmful ingredients in cosmetics. Their mission is to educate people about greener alternatives to conventional cosmetics, advocate for laws to protect health, and inspire teens across the nation to work together and create change within their communities. In collaboration with the National Campaign for Safe Cosmetics, teen campaign members played a key role in the passage of SB484, The California Safe Cosmetics Act in October of 2005. Besides coordinating events like Project Prom, Operation Beauty Drop, and leading summits on safe cosmetics, the teens in California and now New York are active lobbyists for policy change working with state legislators and moderate forums in schools and in the community to help educate for change around an issue that impacts their health and well being.

Bow Bridge, Autumn
It has often been said that autumn is one of the most romantic seasons in New York, so it's not surprising that the Bow Bridge, one of the park's most famous and romantic locations has been the silent star in many movie scenes, including films like Autumn in New York! This bridge whose walkway consists of South American hardwood is the second oldest cast iron bridge in America. Measuring 60 feet, it connects Cherry Hill on one side of the Lake to the trails of the Ramble on the other. But it's not just there to serve as a passageway. The view from the bridge is truly one of the most breathtaking this time of year.
Autumn in New York.
Nearby Attractions: Cherry Hill, Bethesda Terrace , Lake and Ramble.
Location: Mid-Park at 74th Street west of Bethesda Terrace , connecting Cherry Hill and the Ramble.

"Solution appears forthcoming
for Lake Worth Casino's
ailing balcony"
"Work on the Lake Worth Casino balcony
"Solution appears forthcoming"? Headline the previous day (see below) was much more confident, it read, "At last, a solution. . .". The ailing and bedraggled 2nd floor balcony is just one issue that needs to be addressed, e.g., lost revenue over the years for empty space on the 2nd floor. Then how could this be called a "settlement"?
should be finished by Feb, 15. . ."
December 2011. Second floor of Casino under construction. Click on image to enlarge:
|Post online edition headline yesterday, "At last, a solution for Lake Worth's bedraggled beach casino balcony". Notice the headline in the print edition today doesn't read so confidently.
What's not mentioned, and maybe the editor at the Post will address this soon, is something called the Coastal Construction Control Line (CCCL). You see, back in 2011:
"The City's 'team' worked the calculation to determine whether this project represented a 'substantial improvement' and came up with a valuation scheme that put the 'new building' below 50%: the threshold after which the building would have to meet current code standards."
The decisions that were made back in 2011–2012 set the stage for the biggest problem of all. The horizontal red line (see image below) is the CCCL.
A significant portion of the 'newly renovated' Casino
is east of this line.
is east of this line.
|The answer, ultimately, is to tear down the Casino and start all over with a new site plan, a parking garage and maybe even a new aquatic facility.
Of course, after the seawall protecting it all is properly inspected.
