Two-pearl Kabul Hostel is a self-labelled party hostel which sits on Placa Reial -- one of the top spots for nightlife in the city -- and just steps from lively Las Ramblas. There's a casual, pub-like style throughout the common spaces, which are outfitted with games, vending machines, and internet stations, plus a bar on the rooftop terrace. The 24 air-conditioned dorms are simple, but include welcome touches like curtained bunks and outlets inside the lockers. Dorms come in a range of configurations, such as twin and female-only dorms, and the largest has 22 bunks. This is a good value for its central location, but travelers wanting a quieter vibe in a similar area might prefer Pension Segre, which has some en-suite rooms, though rates are higher.
Kabul Hostel labels itself a party hostel. And there's no illusion that it's anything else -- from its location in the heart of the city's top nightlife spot to the pub-style lobby with foosball and billiards. Arched windows in the lobby lounge look out over the plaza outside, vending machines line one wall, music pumps day and night, and sports events play on the TVs. There's another lounge space on the roof, with sofas made from pallets, lip-shaped seats, and bright orange chairs and tables. It's a laid-back hostel with a lively atmosphere, and attracts young guests from around the world who mix easily in the common areas and on the bar crawls.
Kabul Hostel is located right on Placa Reial, which is the center of Barcelona's nightlife, especially for the younger crowd. The surrounding area is a maze of narrow streets that constitute the Barri Gotic (Gothic Quarter), and this part of town is a great place to wander. Major nearby sights include Barcelona Cathedral and the Picasso Museum. There's a range of shopping nearby as well, including boutique shops on Carrer d'Avinyo (a five-minute walk away) and commercial stores on Avinguda del Portal de l'Angel, which is 10 minutes away on foot. Las Ramblas is a few minutes' walk from the hotel as well. Gaudi's popular Sagrada Familia can be reached by bus or metro -- the nearest station is Liceu -- in about 25 minutes, and it's around a 40-minute trip to Park Guell. Barcelona Sants station is a 20-minute journey from the Drassanes Metro station. Transit time to the airport is 45 minutes by public transport, or a 25-minute cab ride.
Dorms at the Kabul Hostel range from twins to 22-bunk rooms, with female-only dorms available. Decor is simple and cheap, with white bunks and red sheets, plus tile floors. Beds have curtains for privacy, and come with blankets and small towels. Unfortunately, there are no individual lights in the beds. Card-operated lockers with charging points come with each bunk. Some rooms have a small balcony overlooking the plaza and all are air-conditioned. Keep in mind that this is a party hostel and noise is a constant issue. There are male and female shared bathrooms, which have sunny yellow decor and include showers and hairdryers. Free Wi-Fi is available in the rooms.
Kabul Hostel's main lobby lounge is packed with entertainment, including a pool table, foosball, chess, TVs showing sports events, five internet stations with printing, and free Wi-Fi. There are a collection of vending machines selling drinks and snacks, plus a microwave and hot water for drinks. The hostel provide a free breakfast and an evening pasta dish. The rooftop terrace has plenty of seating and a bar open until late. It serves a popular happy hour. There are many free touches that are unusual in many hostels, such as a laundry room with free detergent and free walking tours of the city. It's worth noting that many of the freebies are just for direct bookings.

Peter Coy: The tyranny of the U.S. dollar
Submitted by cpowell on Wed, 2018-10-03 14:52. Section: Daily Dispatches

Bloomberg Business Week
There's a paradox at the heart of global finance. The U.S. share of the world economy has drifted lower for decades, and now President Trump is retreating from the American chief executive's traditional role as Leader of the Free World. Yet the U.S. dollar remains, as the saying goes, almighty. "American exceptionalism has never been this stark," Ruchir Sharma, head of emerging markets and chief global strategist for Morgan Stanley Investment Management, said at a Council on Foreign Relations symposium on Sept. 24.

By the latest tally of the European Central Bank, America's currency makes up two-thirds of international debt and a like share of global reserve holdings. Oil and gold are priced in dollars, not euros or yen. When Somali pirates hold up ships at sea, it's dollars they demand. And threats to be cut off from the dollar-based global payments system strike terror into the likes of Iran, North Korea, and Russia. It's no exaggeration to say that the dollar's primacy is at least as valuable to the U.S. as a couple of aircraft carrier strike groups.
Now the dollar paradox shows signs of unraveling. Political leaders who once accepted the dollar's hegemony, grudgingly or otherwise, are pushing back. Jean-Claude Juncker, the president of the European Commission, said in September that it's "absurd" that European companies buy European planes in the American currency instead of their own.
In March, China challenged the dollar's dominance in the global energy markets with a yuan-denominated crude oil futures contract. Russia slashed its dollar holdings this year, claiming (inaccurately) that the greenback is "becoming a risky instrument in international settlements." And French Finance Minister Bruno Le Maire told reporters in August that he wants financing instruments that are "totally independent" of the U.S., saying, "I want Europe to be a sovereign continent, not a vassal." ...

A man leads a monotonous, unfulfilling life until a chance meeting with the girl of his dreams turns his world upside-down.
As things spiral out of control, the man discovers a new way to live in a world filled with color and vitality.
Once Upon a Line is a story about hope and self-discovery.

Die Liste der Straßen und Plätze in Berlin-Lichtenrade beschreibt das Straßensystem im Berliner Ortsteil Lichtenrade mit den entsprechenden historischen Bezügen. Gleichzeitig ist diese Zusammenstellung ein Teil der Listen aller Berliner Straßen und Plätze.

Überblick

Lichtenrade hat  Einwohner (Stand: ) und umfasst die Postleitzahlenbereiche 12305, 12307 und 12309. Im Ortsteil gibt es 187 gewidmete Straßen und 14 benannte Plätze. Acht Straßen gehören teilweise auch zu den Nachbarortsteilen Mariendorf, Marienfelde und Buckow.

Der alte Ortskern um Alt-Lichtenrade bildet den von flämischen Siedlern angelegten Siedlungskern, wobei die heutige Straße Alt-Lichtenrade über den Bereich der Dorfstraße hinausgeht und beiderseits an die Chaussee nach Cottbus (seit 1949: Lichtenrader und Kirchhainer Damm) anschließt. Durch diese Straßenführung blieb der alte Dorfkern erhalten. Andererseits förderte diese Chaussee, die Bundesstraße 96, den Anschluss an Berlin und die Besiedlung und den Straßenausbau. Das Hauptstraßensystem mit der Bundesstraße als Nord-Süd-Verbindung durch den Ortsteil wird vom Straßenzug Buckower Chaussee – Marienfelder Chaussee und südlicher durch Schichauweg – Barnetstraße – Groß-Ziethener Straße, ergänzt mit Wünsdorfer Straße – Bahnhofstraße – Im Domstift als Querverbindung erweitert. Nennenswert ist noch die Verbindung mit Buckow und Britz über Fehlingstraße und Töpchiner Weg. Naturgemäß finden sich besonders nach Süden zum Stadtrand hin Siedlungsstraßen. So wurde 1915 im ersten Kriegsjahr das "Bayerische Viertel" im Südosten des Ortsteils, östlich vom heutigen Kirchhainer Damm, projektiert und Straßen angelegt, jedoch verzögerte sich der Ausbau durch Inflation und die Weltwirtschaftskrise 1929, auch wenn in den "Goldenen Zwanziger Jahren" Grundstücke 1927/1928 verkauft wurden (im Adressbuch als Baustelle eingetragen). Etwa ab 1925 begann der Ausbau zwischen Schichauweg und Landesgrenze, "Lichtenrade West" westlich der Dresdener Bahn wurde ausgebaut. Ein Teil der Bebauung lag auf der Marienfelder Feldmark und erfolgte durch die Marienfelder Terraingesellschaft. Dadurch lagen anfangs einige der heutigen Lichtenrader Straßen östlich vom Wäldchen am Königsgraben innerhalb des Verwaltungsbezirks Tempelhof zum Ortsteil Marienfelde. Aufgrund des Zusammenhangs wurde hier die Ortsteilgrenze nach Westen verschoben und Marienfelder Gebiet 1938 dem Ortsteil Lichtenrade zugeordnet. Die Bezeichnung "Kolonie Marienfelde" bestand noch Anfang der 1960er Jahre. Aber auch beim Verlauf der Grenze zwischen den Verwaltungsbezirken Neukölln und Tempelhof kam es zwischen Marienfelde, Mariendorf, Buckow und Lichtenrade zu geänderten Zugehörigkeiten der Straßen, die dann im Randgebiet des Ortsteils erst später bebaut wurden. Durch den Bau der Mauer kam zwar der Süden des Ortsteils in eine besondere Randlage, auf den Straßenverlauf oder den Ausbau (abgesehen von Unterbrechungen im Grenzgebiet) war der Einfluss in Lichtenrade geringer als in anderen Ortsteilen. Die Sortierung der Namenswahl der Straßen (in der Liste am Datum der Benennung nachvollziehbar) gibt die Besiedlungsentwicklung des Ortsteils in Randlage von Groß-Berlin und um den Dorfkern herum wieder. Obwohl die Bebauungspläne der Siedlungen in Lichtenrade aus den 1910er und 1920er Jahren die heutigen Straßenläufe dokumentieren, gab es strukturelle Änderungen. Mit der südlichen Umgehungsstraße wurde um 1930 der Ortskern entlastet, der Güteraußenring brachte um 1940 unterbrochene Straßenläufe mit sich und die Bebauungspläne nach dem Mauerbau im Jahr 1961 führten zu Änderungen des Verlaufs von der Marienfelder zur Barnetstraße. In den Straßen am Stadtrand führte die Mauer wohl zu eher ruhigeren Lagen und Freiflächen, die seit 1990 bebaut werden.

Das Hauptstraßensystem besteht aus der Bundesstraße 96 die im Zuge von Mariendorfer, Lichtenrader und Kirchhainer Damm mit einer Länge von 4490 Metern auf der Trasse der alten Chaussee durch den Ortsteil führt. Die neu erbaute Provinzial-Chaussee Berlin-Kottbus wurde am 13. Juli 1838 dem Verkehr übergeben im 1. Bauabschnitt. Am 1. Oktober 1838 fuhren die Postwagen nach Dresden nicht mehr über Groß-Ziethen nach Mittenwalde, sondern durch Lichtenrade und auf dem Lehnschulzengut wurde die Posthalterei für den ersten Pferdewechsel auf dem Weg der Post Berlin – Luckenwalde eingerichtet. Die Straße durch den Ortskern wurde bis 1937 über Ackerland als Umgehungsstraße verlegt und in den 1970er Jahren zum heutigen Zustand ausgebaut. Weitere Hauptstraßen im übergeordneten Straßennetz Berlins sind Barnetstraße (1320 Meter), Buckower Chaussee (610 Meter) und der Schichauweg (510 Meter). Hauptstraßen von regionaler Bedeutung (StEP Klasse III) sind der Straßenzug Wünsdorfer Straße – Prinzessinnenstraße – Bahnhofstraße – Goltzstraße mit 2380 Metern, Fehlingstraße – Töpchiner Weg mit 1590 Metern und die Groß-Ziethener Straße mit 1180 Metern. Anschluss zur Autobahn besteht vom Ortsteil aus nur indirekt über die B 96 zum Berliner Ring im Süden, an die A 113 über die B 96a zur Anschlussstelle 7 (Schönefeld-Süd) oder über die Marienfelder Chaussee zur Anschlussstelle 3 (Johannisthaler Chaussee).

Übersicht der Straßen und Plätze

Einige geplante und ehemalige Straßen

In Lichtenrade wurde eine im Vergleich zu anderen Berliner Ortsteilen große Anzahl von Straßen umbenannt. Die Lage am Rande von Groß-Berlin, Lichtenrade wird erst ab 1922 im Adressbuch aufgeführt, die Umbenennung mehrfach in Berlin bestehender Straßennamen seit der Bildung von Groß-Berlin, die Änderung der Ortsteilgrenzen innerhalb des Verwaltungsbezirks sind dafür Ursachen. Im Südwesten von Lichtenrade, westlich der Eisenbahnlinie wurden die Siedlungen, wie Lichtenrade-West, auf vorher ungenutzten Ackerland errichtet, oder beim Ausbau und der Neuanlage von Straßen die bestehenden Ortsteilgrenzen, beispielsweise durch Nutzung der Marienfelder Feldmark, überschritten und im Nachhinein wurden die Straßenzüge einheitlich benannt. Oft waren die Straßen in Lichtenrade weniger oder noch nicht ausgebaut, sodass diese mit neuen Namen versehen wurden, während die ausgebauten Straßen gleichen Namens in zentraleren Ortsteilen unbeachtet von Umbenennungen blieben.

Im Jahr 1943 sind folgende Straßen noch ohne spezielle Benennung aber doch angelegt und bebaut: Straße 3, Straße 6a, Straße 8, Straße 10, Straße 13, Straße 20, Straße 20a, Straße 23, Straße 24, Straße 24a, Straße 26, Straße 32, Straße 32a, Straße 41, Straße 41a, Straße 41b, Straße 102 (unbebaut), Straße 144. Für 1930 waren es Straße A, Straße B, Straße 1, Straße 2, Straße 87, Straße 88, Straße 89, die als angelegt und mit Wohnhäusern bebaut notiert sind, hinzu kommen Straße 97, Straße 103 von der Steinstraße ab, jedoch unbebaut. Andere Straßen des Bebauungsplans wurden auch schon mit der Trassierung oder dem Anlegen benannt.

Weitere Örtlichkeiten von Lichtenrade

Kleingartenkolonien

 BLW Güteraußenring (Fontane- / Schillerstraße, ), Gartenkolonie mit 122 Parzellen auf 37.078 m² Bahngelände. Die Anlage unterteilt sich im Ortsteil in die Unterabteilungen 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 und 7 mit den Straßennummern 16160 bis 16165. Diese Gartenanlagen befinden sich auf dem Gelände des Güteraußenringes.
 BLW Unterbezirk Lichtenrade Gruppe Nuthestraße (RBS: 16166, Nuthestraße 24–57, ), Gartenkolonie mit 60 Parzellen auf 27.368 m² Bahngelände.
 BLW Wünsdorfer Straße (Wünsdorfer Straße 41–97, ), Gartenkolonie mit 32 Parzellen auf 10.338 m² Bahngelände.
 Gartenheimsiedlung Grenzland (Kettinger Straße/Föttingerzeile, ), eine Kolonie mit 45 Parzellen auf 25.621 m², die seit der Ummarkierung am 12. November 1990 (Nr. 05956) als "Gartenheimsiedlung" nicht dem Bundeskleingartengesetz unterliegt.
 KGA Märkische Heide (Kirchhainer Damm 67–69, ), eine Dauerkleingartenkolonie mit 51 Parzellen auf 29.866 m² landeseigenem Pachtland.
 KGA Wiesengrund (Lichtenrader Damm 130, ), eine Dauerkleingartenkolonie mit 40 Parzellen auf 12.290 m² landeseigenem Pachtland.

Parks und Grünflächen

Mehrere in der obigen Liste genannten Plätze besitzen auf Grund der Begrünung und der Größe einen parkartigen Charakter und unterscheiden sich dadurch von Stadtplätzen, wie sie in der Innenstadt bestehen.
 Volkspark Lichtenrade () wurde als Park aus dem Nichts von ehrenamtlichen Helfern erschaffen. Hier stehen der "Kaiserberg" und der "Kleine Arber", wegen der Partnerschaft mit dem Landkreis Cham im Bayerischen Wald sind angelegte Wege nach dieser Gegend in Bayern benannt worden. Der Landkreis Cham hat geholfen und spendet immer noch jährlich den Weihnachtsbaum, der vor dem Rathaus Tempelhof für eine gepflegte Weihnachtsstimmung sorgt.
 Kirchhof Lichtenrade ()
 Giebelpfuhl () in der Dorfaue, wobei die Straße Alt-Lichtenrade um diese Grünfläche auf beiden Seiten herumführt.
 Wäldchen am Kirchhainer Damm (), dieser Park gehört organisatorisch zum Düppeler Forst und untersteht dadurch der Forstverwaltung.
 Nachtbucht ()
 Grünfläche an der Barnetstraße, die amtlich als Grünfläche, aber nicht als Park klassifiziert ist.

(Critical) I observed that single service drink cups, are stored in close proximity to a container of a cleanser powder, inside a cabinet. Cleaners, degreasers, sanitizers and other chemicals must be stored completely apart from single service items. Corrected at the time of inspection. The cups have been relocated.
The inside of some of the storage cabinets, need to be cleaned. Clean these frequently, to promote good sanitation.
(Critical) I found that a spray cleaning container is stored on a shelf with food items. All cleaning products and other toxic items must be stored completely apart from food, utensils, single service items and work locations. Employees must check and ensure that these items are properly stored. Corrected at the time of inspection. The cleaner has been relocated as directed.
A food thermometer must be available in at all times in each food preparation area. Do not store thermometers in the office. Use them to check food temperatures. Cold food must be at 41 degrees f. Or below. Hot food must be held at 135 degrees f. Or above.
I observed that a door gasket is broken. This seal should be replaced as soon as possible.
The inside of microwave oven needs cleaning.
A very small cutting board is very worn by use. Replace cutting boards before they become hard to clean. Corrected at the time of inspection. The board has been discarded.

Building on a strong coalition of youth-led and volunteer-led civil society organisations and a network of political stakeholders and regional authorities, the project Road to the Future is designed to encourage and strengthen European-oriented youth participation for a specific democratic milestone, the European Parliament Elections 2019 and in the longer term for the future of Europe. The initiative is built in two phases: the lead-up to the European Parliament elections 2019 and their follow-up.
Develop the capacities of youth organisations in a cross-border and synergy-finding perspective to facilitate, encourage and organise young people's debates about the European Parliament elections 2019.
Develop the skills and capacities of young people and youth organisation to engage for the future of Europe in a local context with local and regional decision-makers.
Develop new activities and tools for youth organisations to continue working for the European engagement of young people on a long-term basis.
a large-scale youth exchange and event gathering approximately 2000 young people (Paris, 13-17.03.2019).
The second phase seeks to build on the ideas collected and momentum created to ensure a long-term European-oriented youth participation. It will include a training for trainers and mentors (Werbellinsee, 22-29.06.2019), who will then organise local trainings and activities in 14 countries. These activities will be aimed at ensuring that young people gain the knowledge, competencies and tools necessary to be engaged for the future of Europe at the local level.
In the last phase of the initiative, advocacy initiatives will be organised all around Europe and the results of the project will be presented at the final conference (Brussels, December 2018/January 2020).

In a confusing series of revisions of its quarterly and annual GDP growth forecasts Singapore Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong on August 8 said that the city state's economy is expected to grow 2.5 to 3.5 per cent this year, higher than the previous government projection of 1 to 3 per cent.
"And even as we tighten up on foreign workers and immigration, we must maintain investor confidence and keep Singapore open for business," Lee said.
Singapore's exports had been hurt by slowing demand from the US and Europe, although the situation in those markets has improved.

A few weeks ago, I attended a class taught by STL Veg Girl, Caryn Dugan. I sampled tofu and seitan dishes… and actually LOVED them! I tried recreating one of her amazing recipes at our annual Pinks and Drinks girls get-together before Valentine's Day.
The chocolate mousse was a hit! After requests, I mailed the recipe as a Valentine. I used Carina Gardner's recipe card from Jessica Sprague's digital shoppe as a base for the text. On the back, I paired a journaling card from the Blowing Kisses collection with my favorite dessert quote about friendship.
This quick and easy Valentine gift idea also gave me the chance to test out the print and cut tools on the Silhouette… love the ability to cut out any digital shape I want! I used this feature to make the little banner tags and scalloped recipe note!
If you ever have a chance to take one of Caryn's classes, you won't regret it! Love having delicious ideas on how to accomplish my goal of incorporating more plant based foods into my diet.
Pinterest is exploding with amazing ideas for creative Valentines these days. When I saw this PIN, I knew I had to try and make these fun airplanes! As I clicked through to the post for the instructions, I found 7 more darling projects featured on a blog hop. I instantly realized that these inspiring projects were perfect for creating a little Valentine Countdown to send to my sweet nieces!
I used Skip to My Lou's darling printable to complete the first day's surprise. My little instruction note encouraged my nieces to help "pick out an outfit for 'Suzy Sunshine' each day of the countdown week or to even draw/design one of their own!" I utilized die-cuts, stamps, a paper heart doily, ribbon, punches, and coordinating papers to finish the design.
I combined two of the featured blog hop projects for Day 4. I used my silhouette to create a fun heart box, which I filled with Hershey Kisses along with the cute printable from Catch my Party. I lined the bottom of a second handmade box with Skittles and placed the darling printable from P N P Flowers on top. Aren't those heart flaps adorable?!
I included a stamped tic-tac-toe board to fit inside a small "I LOVE YOU" envelope based on inspiration from Nest of Posies XOXO Tic Tac Toe Valentine post. I packaged this cute game with printable envelopes from Camille Styles. I tucked a few favorite pics of my nieces with Olivia into these fun envelope designs.
Day 2 was all about racing paper airplanes designed by Kami at NoBiggie. I bundled these cuties into a little paper bag decorated with Washi Tape and sticker letters.
I packaged everything up in a fun Valentine box from Michael's.
That's it… 5 Days of fun inspired by super talented bloggers!! Be sure to check out the Blog Hop to see each blogger's creative project and free printable designs.
Welcome to the Create Inspiration Team's January Blog Party!
The temperatures might still be below freezing, but I have a cozy project to share today that will warm your heart. If you are looking for a fun gift to share this winter season, consider crafting a fun snowman note and tag from the Winter Wishes digital collection.
To make the main graphic, start with a 5×7 blank document. Then, layer your paper, elements, and text to create a beautiful winter scene.
I used Carina Gardner's Photo Tag2_6 to make my Snowflake wishes banner. Note: I utilized the stroke option to create a gentle navy outline around the whole shape.
I clipped the snowflake elements to the upper banner so they were contained within the white space.
I created a separate text box for each line of the snowman poem to easily manipulate the spacing.
I used the paint brush feature to create a mound of "snow" under the penguin's feet.
I added a blue pearl the center of the banner snowflakes.
Jessica's collection of Photoshop and digital scrapbooking classes are amazing for learning how to manipulate layers and create masks. They are full of invaluable tutorials that make this type of project super easy!
The air is cold, the snow may fall… the winter season is here for all! When it's so cold you want to holler and hoop, it's time to bring out the Snowman Soup! Sending you warm winter wishes, hope you enjoy these treats and dessert dishes!
You could modify this version, use the inspiration phrases, or have fun coming up with your own rhymes!
The circular winter wishes tag features glittered edges, layered Nestability die cut shapes, punches snowflakes, and a rhinestone!
I started with Carina Gardner's photo tag2_14 and sized this beautiful shape to take up about 4 one-inch squares on the background grid of my document. Then, I added Winter Wishes Starry Night paper. I also created a simple text box spelling out the words "Snow Wishes" in fun fonts, which would serve as my center embellishment.
Cheers to crafting up some winter fun!

I'm so excited to share that I've been selected as a member of Jessica Sprague's new Create Inspiration Team!
Since joining The Dating Divas team over a year ago, I've really worked on my photography skills. Jessica's amazing digital classes have been such a blessing to start learn the ins and outs of Photoshop to complement this growing hobby. Her easy to understand explanations and fun tutorials are by far the best I've seen on the web. I am so honored to be joining her creative team!
The "31" digital element serves as the focal point for this quick and easy card. You can find this cute graphic in the Frightful Complete Kit. I printed it out and die cut the image using one of the Spellbinders Labels 16 Nestabilities. I ran it through the Cuttlebug machine one more time to emboss the image.
Then, I distressed the border using the Vintage Photo stamp pad from Tim Holtz. I love how distressing the edges really makes the embossing effect pop!
I layered this element on gold paper edged with orange glitter, printed digital paper lined with a gold Krylon pen, and a brown paper card base.
A small purple witch's hat served as the final embellishment. I love adding a row of rhinestones to simulate a fancy ribbon or buckle on her hat!
I look forward to creating more projects using a mixture of digital and traditional paper elements!

This Off-Road Version of the 1990s Dodge Caravan Almost Made It to Production
The glorious concept was apparently within a shout of hitting dealer lots before Jeep got jealous and had the car canceled.
byJames Gilboy| UPDATED Feb 8, 2021 5:51 PM
Michael Santoro may not be a superstar designer like Ian Callum, but he's certainly a stylist with whose work you're familiar—he helped shape the TJ Jeep Wrangler, for starters. Throughout his tenure at Chrysler, during which he also penned the Cirrus and bridge-jumping Dodge Stratus "cloud cars," Santoro became the de facto minivan specialist, a role in which he drew up everything from surf vans to "high-performance Autobahn stormers." During this time, Santoro also envisioned a ruggedized Dodge Caravan, one that came painfully close to being realized before Jeep, out of supposed pure jealously, got the project shut down.
Santoro revealed the unnamed Caravan concept on a page of his personal website, where he recalls his history as Chrysler's minivan wizard. He earned himself this title by coming up with a concept for a minivan taxi, one that management loved so much it decided to pigeonhole him into minivan concepts almost exclusively. Anything he came up with, Santoro recalls, could become a special-edition model or a new trim level, so long as it didn't cost too much to actually make. He was effectively limited to wheels, graphics, and some basic accessories.
1991-1995 Dodge Caravan off-road concept vehicle, MichaelSantoroDesign.com
Even with so little to work with, Santoro put together a Dodge Caravan off-roader concept with different wheels, side steps, a light bar, and brush guards. Simple though it may have been, management and Dodge dealers alike loved it, and the outdoorsy Caravan reached full-size prototype stage. But before this vehicle could make its debut at the Chicago Auto Show, from which Santoro says it was "a step away," Jeep dealers apparently got wind of it and raised one heck of a stink.
"Everyone loved it… except the Jeep dealers who felt it would cannibalize sales," says a passage on the project's page. "The prototype was a step away from premiering at the Chicago Auto when the plug was pulled at the last moment."
Given how secretive car companies can be about special projects even decades after they're scuttled, it feels miraculous that images of the concept vehicle have survived long enough to be uploaded to the internet. Still, we've reached out to Dodge and Jeep to see if anyone there can corroborate Santoro's story.
As sad as it is that this early adventure van never made production, the fact that we know it exists means we can set to work replicating it. Time to get out that Sawzall and fire up the 3D printer.

Q: How can we calculate the maximum height of a fountain? There are two limiters in this question.
First is drag of air.
Second is the viscous forces of pipe.(belong to the tube where water hitts up)
The question is how can we calculate the maximum height with the effect of these two parameters.

A: There's two ways to answer this. The first way is the intellectually precise way, modeling the pump, the water traveling through the pipe and nozzle, the dispersion of the water as it rises influenced by air and surface tension, the air drag on each blob of water as the column separates, the impacts of the falling water on the still-rising column, etc. etc. etc.
The second way is the pragmatic way: use a rule of thumb to choose a pump size and thus water volume per second, divide by the nozzle area to figure out the initial velocity upwards, calculate the height the water would rise to given no air drag nor interference from falling water, and then reduce by some inefficiency parameter (e.g. a ratio of 0.7). Then build the fountain, measure how far off you were, and adjust your rules of thumb for the next time.

Some parents think self-defense is the only thing kids get from martial arts..
Then they bring them into North Metro Martial Arts and see that we offer much more in addition to self-defense classes. Taekwondo for Kids is a specially designed martial arts program that teaches children the values of life. When people work hard for something, generally they get rewarded. With the Taekwondo for Kids program, we are instilling the life skills of working hard (determination), never giving up (perseverance) and always being honest (integrity). Through these life skills, children are able to understand that not everything in life is free, but when you work for something of value and achieve that goal, it is well worth the effort. Now everything that mom and dad (role models) have been stressing for years are also taught by the instructors (mentors), and the children see the values in a different light. With the parents and instructors working with the same common goal in mind (a successful child), we can instill life skills that will last a lifetime.
Taekwondo for Kids provides an integrated, comprehensive martial arts instruction customized to build on the way kids learn and develop. This program encourages achievement, growth, and success by offering awards for outstanding performance in class, school, home, or in a martial arts tournament.
By participating in Taekwondo for Kids, your child will gain valuable knowledge and skills that allow them to excel socially and academically. The martial arts skills learned are also a great way to boost confidence and enhance their physical strength and fitness. North Metro Martial Arts helps to encourage personal victory and goal-setting with an organized belt ranking system that inspires students to always strive for that next level of achievement.
Many parents have really smart kids, but they just have a hard time focusing, and getting their work done. As a result, their grades begin to suffer and most often, so does their self-esteem. Martial arts helps our students with their focus and helps them pay attention in school.
It's never easy listening to your child talk about being picked on in school by a bully. As a parent, you want to feel safe about sending your child to school. Unfortunately every school has a bully in some form or another. But what if your child knew how easy it was to deal with those bullies in a non-violent way?
Not the "Team Sports" type child, but they crave physical activity?
Does your kid love running around and exercising, but just doesn't seem to fit into team sports? they are not alone. Many kids are like this and team sports are not for everyone. In many cases team sports can hurt your child's self-esteem if they are not cut out to do the type of sport they are playing. HOWEVER, your child could be a shining athlete that has not found the right sport to excel in. Martial arts just may be the thing they are looking for to help them develop natural dexterity, and athletic abilities.
Some kids can't sit still because they have this never ending energy source and they don't know how to relax and take a few deep breaths. If only they could find a way to be calm, their lives would change for the better? Many people think medication is the only thing that can help – but they don't feel comfortable with it. They want a natural, healthy way to help their child. We are not saying medicines are bad, just that you might think of martial arts as another form of medication that is good for them!

Gandhi & The Moral Life
At the turn of the century Gandhi is an important figure for moderns to understand not because he was a Mahatma but as a man who lived an authentic and effective moral life. The question is how can the Gandhian legacy be authentically articulated and recovered. It seems clear that Gandhi's life and thought really rested on a dynamic unity of conception with politics, morality and religion being intimately interlinked. This unity was explained by and rested upon a basic moral vision. The volume attempts to disconceal that moral vision and its connection with the Indian tradition of thinking. It also attempts to make the contents of Gandhi's moral conception philosophically available by raising and to some extent challenging the distinction between moral philosophy and moral practise, between 'knowing' and 'having' morality. As a part of this exercise two dimensions emerge in the work. The first uses the sources of literature by examining the portrayal of Gandhi in three Indian English novels, in order to aid ethical understanding. The second dimen-sion relates to making a comparison between Aristotle's ethical theory as developed in the Nichomachean Ethics and Gandhi's conception of morality. The purpose being to demonstrate the centrality of Gandhi for moral Philosophy and also the complete lack of justi-fication for his neglect by professional philosophers.
Bindu Puri has a Ph.D in Philosophy from the Delhi University on Gandhi's Conception of Morality: a Philosophical Study. She is interestedin problems in moral philosophy and in culture studied and has been seriously engaged in attempts at articulating and recovering the Gandhian legacy. She has writtenpapers in professional journals and edited anthologies, around the same and related subjects. She has editedand contributed to a volume brought out by the Indian Institute of Advanced Study at Shimla, entitled Mahatma Gandhi and His Contemporaries. She has an abiding interest in socio-political problems and has also attempted to relate Gandhiana to the current socio-political complexities in the country through her articles in the national dailies. Bindu puri teaches philosophy at Kamala Nehru College, University of Delhi.

Q & A with Bernie – October 8, 2018 | Bernie Siegel M.D.
Here is a three-part question and answer.
I don't even know where to begin. There's so much to say. I guess I will start by asking if you still take patients. I would love to meet you and have you help me transform my life and my body. I am going through a health issue and would love your help. Hope to hear from you soon. Thank you.
I am not seeing patients any longer, but tell me where you are and what issues you are struggling with now.
Thank you so much for responding to me. I am so happy for that.
I am a woman in my mid-twenties. I would say [that] right now is the most emotional and most eye opening time in my life.
The past seven years of my life, I put myself through a rough time. I was in a relationship that I felt made me lose myself mentally and spiritually. I got pregnant while in that relationship, which made me realize I had someone more important in my life now and that my health was important now too. My son changed everything, and I am so thankful God sent him to me when he did. He is now a toddler.
I was so proud of myself for finally leaving the relationship, and because I had finally got a place of my own. Life was amazing. One day I started talking to my ex (my son's dad) more than I should have, and we ended up doing something I knew we shouldn't have. Long story short, I now have a chronic disease and I feel God has punished me.
I feel he has left me and hates me. I know God had been trying to keep me away from this guy multiple times in the past and I wouldn't listen. It took me having a kid to open my eyes and see that the relationship needed to end, and yet after all was said and done, I returned to him and made the biggest mistake that caused me to put my health is danger.
I try hard to accept it and let it go, but I am having a very hard time doing that. I am now going through a lot of depression and anxiety and fear for my health. It kills me even more that my son sees me this way. I am praying for a healing miracle, but it all seems so far away and impossible for me.
I know you are big on people's past and upbringing, so I guess my big thing is that I didn't have a father growing up. I mean he was there to pay bills, but he was constantly at the bar getting drunk instead of spending time with us. He was also abusive to our mother and didn't care if we saw it. My mom and dad had five kids just like you and your wife. I have three sisters and one brother. I am glad none of us turned out to be alcoholics like our dad.
It is the faith that allows what you hope for a miracle to happen.
I understand that, but what else can I do to heal my body? What actions should I take? Is there anything else you can say to me to help me? How do you normally counsel people who don't live in your state? I need your help, please!!
Love your life and love your body and it will get the message.
Put up photos around your home of yourself as a child and love that kid every time you pass one. You can heal the wound of your father's neglect in this way, and begin to build some self-respect that you can safely rely upon when it comes to decisions in your life.
Let your heart and not your head make up your mind.

White Spots on Tomato Leaves and Leaves Falling Off
By Ellen Douglas Updated December 14, 2018

Why Are My Tomato Leaves Transparent?

Epsom Salt As a Remedy for Plant Fungus
Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) leaf problems can be more harmful to your tomatoes than you might think. Although many of us may only check the fruits themselves for worrisome spots and holes, the plant's foliage itself is vital to tomato yield. The leaves not only help turn the sun's rays into plant fuel, but also protect the tomatoes themselves from sunscald. If problems like leaf spot and mildew grow from causing discoloration on the leaves to the loss of most of a tomato plant's foliage, the entire plant can die.
Of the two kinds of powdery mildew which can affect tomato plants, Oidium lycopersicum shows as white spots on the upper surface of leaves. Other telltale signs that your tomato problems are caused by powdery mildew are white spots on the stems. In severe cases, powdery mildew can lead to foliage withering and, eventually, massive leaf loss. You're most likely to experience powdery mildew if you've bought a greenhouse-raised seedling than if you've grown one on your sunny windowsill, because warm, humid conditions can cause the fungal disease to develop and spread.
Treating the plant by hand-picking affected leaves may be all you need to do to control powdery mildew on tomato plants, according to the University of Arizona. The lower leaves are likely the first to develop the white spots. Examine the plants daily for signs of powdery mildew. If you see white spots on the upper surface, remove and destroy the foliage. This may stop the spread from the lower part of the plant to the entire plant. Similarly, if you notice the white spots on tomato seedlings before transplanting, plant only the healthiest-looking plants, with no spots on the leaves.
Homemade Spray
Bicarbonate spray may also be effective in controlling the early stages of powdery mildew. Potassium bicarbonate sprays are available commercially, or you can try a homemade spray by mixing 1 teaspoon baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) and 1 drop liquid soap in 2 gallons of water. Pour some of the solution in a spray bottle and coat the tomato plants, including stems and upper and lower leaf surfaces. Alternatively, pour all of the solution into a larger garden sprayer, if you have one.
Commercial Spray
If hand-removing spotted leaves and spraying with a baking soda solution don't control powdery mildew, turn to a commercial fungicidal product, suggests the University of Connecticut. This is best done early in the season, before daytime temperatures are reliably 90 degrees Fahrenheit or higher. Sulfur dust is a common treatment for powdery mildew. Mix 1-1/2 to 3 teaspoons of a sulfur dust product with 2 gallons of water, then put some or all of this blended solution into a spray bottle or garden sprayer. Coat the tomato plant evenly, including stems and upper and lower surfaces of the leaves. Be aware that the amounts used in a sulfur product may vary, depending on the product; always consult the label for the best amounts and methods for the product you are using.
Alternative Causes
If the white or gray spots on your tomato leaves have dark edges, it may be Sequoia leaf spot rather than powdery mildew. Like powdery mildew, Sequoia leaf spot is a fungal disease that can eventually lead to the loss of affected leaves. If raised growth appears on upper foliage before the leaves fall, Sequoia leaf spot is a likely culprit. Your best immediate defense is to remove the affected leaves. Because the disease is often caused by wet soil splashing onto leaves, laying down a thick mulch of hay or wood chips can also be effective. In the future, avoid planting tomatoes or other related plants in the Solcanae family in the same plot. In addition, uproot all of the tomato plants at the end of the growing season. Nearby weeds can also be carriers, so keep garden paths and surrounding areas well-weeded and mulched. If the problem becomes difficult to control, sulfur dust can be used for leaf spot diseases as well as powdery mildew. Mix and use as you would when applying sulfur to tomato plants for powdery mildew.

President Truman had been examining the issue of segregation in the armed forces since at least 1947, when he appointed the President's Committee on Civil Rights. By January 1948, internal White House memos indicated that the President was determined to end military segregation by executive order. However, it was not until the delegates at the 1948 Democratic National Convention called for a liberal civil rights plank that included desegregation of the armed forces that Truman felt comfortable enough to issue Executive Order No. 9981 on July 26. The order stated that "It is hereby declared to be the policy of the President that there shall be equality of treatment and opportunity for all persons in the armed services without regard to race, color, religion, or national origin." The order also established the President's Committee on Equality of Treatment and opportunity in the Armed Services (Fahy Committee).
Naturally, there was resistance to this order within the military. Staff officers from all branches protested anonymously and sometimes even openly to integration. The Fahy Committee worked with the different branches of the military to ensure that the armed forces instituted integration in their recruitment and unit composition practices. Full integration did not come until the Korean War however, when heavy casualties forced segregated units to merge for survival.

Grab the flashlight floating in the back seat and turn it on. A creature appears outside the car window and writes some messages over the ice that forms along the doors and windows of the SUV and the car radio switches on.
To make an escape move back up to the front passenger seat and twist the glowing radio turner until the fuzzy song that's playing gets a clear reception. As soon as you can hear "Always on my Mind" the ice around the passenger door and window will melt away. Unlock the door and Harry will escape to the surface and fall unconscious next to a building.
Walk over to the radio and turn the dial to 101.6 (The Alchemilla Radio station number found on the poster outside) you should hear a DJ asking for song requests. Keep the radio on and turn around to face the other side of the room. On the wall ahead is another poster with 10 song choices. Request the right song and presto the door will unlock.
According to the voice mail the code to the back door is strings and then jazz which means the code must be 2050.
Head over to the set of three sinks on the back right wall. On the left most sink and turn the dial all the way to the left so that the water runs hot and then turn the faucet on by pulling the handle to the right. The mirror above the sink will steam up and the door code 1789 is revealed!


You may have seen our Chefman Electric Indoor Grill review posted a few weeks ago as we launched our indoor grill review series. Today, we're looking at another smokeless electric indoor grill as we unbox the Tayama Electric Indoor Grill with a high level of anticipation. There was an immediate familiarity with this product, and it wasn't just because it was another electric grill.
Closer inspection of this product confirmed that this was the same product as the Chefman grill. Inspection of the ratings labels on the back of each grill confirmed both brands had "KYS-868" in their model numbers, so it wasn't just the appearance. We went ahead and ran temperature tests using our infrared thermometer and found, not surprisingly, that the heating was nearly identical to the Chefman product.
Packaging: Tayama in a plain brown box, Chefman in a full color box.
Manuals: Tayama is a bifold brochure, Chefman is a multi-page detailed manual.
Product appearance: Each had their own respective product logo. Chefman has an additional printed warning on the plastic next to the grate stressing the use of water in the drip pan and a "hot" caution statement.
Chefman comes with an additional card illustrating the low, medium and high cooking zones. Tayama does not mention these "zones" in the included owner's packet.
Retail price: The Tayama grill is less expensive than the Chefman grill.
*Specs taken from the Tayama grill manual.
Since this is essentially the same product as the Chefman grill we reviewed, we recommend it. Either grill would be a great addition to a small kitchen, but the Tayama grill is a bit easier on the wallet.


During World War II, researchers at the US Center for Naval Analyses were given a difficult problem to solve. They were asked to recommend where to reinforce US bombers to reduce aircraft losses over enemy territory. They decided to conduct a review of the damage inflicted on US bombers that returned from combat missions.
Naturally they recommended that armour should be added to those areas that showed the most damage on the planes they assessed. But the statistician Abraham Wald pointed out that the study was suffering from survivorship bias. They had only considered aircraft that survived their missions as the bombers not included in the analysis had been shot down.
Wald argued that the holes in the returning aircraft represented areas where a plane could take damage and still return home safely. Using his insight he recommend they reinforce the essential working parts of the plane, such as the engines, where returning planes largely showed no damage. Theses components were most likely to be the areas that if damaged would prevent a plane from returning safely home.
Survivorship bias is one of the most common logical errors that optimisers make as it plays on our desire to deconstruct success and cherry pick data that confirms our existing beliefs (see confirmation bias). People are prone to comparing survivors with the overall average despite evidence that survivors have unusual properties, namely that they have been successful.
By only examining successful outcomes we tend to become over-optimistic and may set unrealistic expectations about what optimisation can deliver in the short-term. We have a tendency to ignore the many more tests that have failed to deliver an uplift and only focus on our successes. As a result we tend to overestimate the importance of skill and underestimate the role of luck in the process.
Huge uplifts from tests don't happen very often.
Testing the low-hanging fruit will not give you a competitive advantage.
A majority of tests don't achieve an uplift. However, negative or neutral tests still provide valuable insights, so don't ignore them.
Conversion rate optimisation is a long-term strategy and not a tactical sprint.
Tests that work for one site may not work on a different site. Each site is unique and has its own customer base.
Visitors are influenced by the process they complete online. Be careful about including returning visitors or existing customers in your A/B tests.
Returning visitors are problematic not only because they may have already been exposed to the default design, but also because most visitors don't return to a site. Returning visitors are survivors because they didn't abandon your site and decide never to come back due to negative aspects of the user experience. They weren't put-off by your value proposition, the auto-slider, long form registration or other aspects of your site that may have caused some new visitors to bounce. They are also likely to have higher levels of intent than most new visitors.
Existing users are potentially even more biased as they have managed to jump through all the hoops and navigate around all the barriers that many other users may have fallen at. They have also worked out how to use your site and are getting sufficient value to want to continue with using it. This means they are likely to respond very differently to changes in content than might a new visitor.
This does not mean you cannot conduct A/B tests with returning visitors or existing customers. You can if the objective is appropriate and you don't assume the test result will apply to other visitor types. Just be careful about what you read into the results.
Similarly each user persona may have different intent levels due to the source of traffic or other factors influencing behaviour. For instance be careful with including Direct traffic in you're A/B tests as you have to question why they would type your URL directly into a search engine if they are really a new visitor. Perhaps some of these visitors have cleared their cookies and so are in fact returning visitors?
Why do uplifts sometimes decay?
Survivorship bias can also result in management questioning the sustainability of uplifts. When you first launch a tactical change to your website, such as a promotional pop-up, it is something new that none of your visitors will have seen before.
This may result in a significant uplift in your overall conversion rate for both new and returning visitors. However, as a proportion of visitors seeing the prompt for the first time will have signed up, these users will no longer be part of your target audience as they have created an account.
As a consequence this will automatically reduce your overall conversion rate over time as those who are going to be influenced by the pop-up sign-up and those who are not don't. Further, as more visitors come back to the site after experiencing the new pop-up the proportion of non-customers who have not seen this particular pop-up before will decline to just new visitors. As returning visitors become acclimatised to the promotional pop-up its effectiveness is likely to decline among this type of visitor.
This can make it appear the uplift was not sustainable. However, if you analyse new visitor conversion you are likely to see that the uplift has largely been maintained. But even here there may be a notable decay in the uplift over time as a proportion of returning visitors regularly clear their cookies and so are tracked as new visitors by your web analytics.
This needs to be explained to stakeholders to manage their expectations for the overall conversion rate. If this is not understood this is sometimes used to challenge the sustainability of uplifts from conversion rate optimisation. To respond to this phenomena it is worth revisiting changes on a regular basis to review conversion rates and to test new variants if necessary.
A common question that digital marketers have is what is the optimum frequency of email and push notification campaigns. Often people assess this by analysing existing user engagement. However, relying on existing users is a heavily biased approach because these customers have self-selected themselves on the basis that they are happy with your current frequency of engagement. Those who are not happy with the level of contact will have already unsubscribed.
Instead you should test email and push notification contact frequency using an unbiased list of new users who have recently signed up and have not received any campaigns so far. Provided the sample size is large enough and they have never been included in CRM campaigns you should test contact frequency using this clean list of new users.
Be cautious about rolling out changes that generate uplifts for pre-qualified visitors. Just because a landing page produces an uplift from a highly engaged email list you cannot assume it will help convert unqualified traffic.
Why is it that web designers are on the only kind of designers who think that all calls to action (CTA) should look identical? The reason aircraft cockpits have different types, sizes and colours of switches and buttons is to clearly differentiate between their different uses. A newsletter sign-up CTA is very different from an add to basket button or a buy CTA. The nature of the user's decision needs to be reflected in the design of the CTA and so it is dangerous to prescribe in your brand guidelines that all CTAs look the same.
No, you should optimise a page for the specific CTA that is required for the stage in the user journey. As a user proceeds through the conversion journey their intent and needs change. This should be reflected in the design of the CTA. Just because a CTA works on a landing page does not mean it will be optimal for a product page or check-out.
Be careful not to rely on small sample sizes when analysing web analytics or test results. The law of small numbers means that we have a tendency to underestimate the impact of small sample sizes on outcomes. Essentially we often only get certain results because of the unreliability of small numbers. So few survivors are left we get extreme results.
Avoid having too many recipes (i.e. variables being changed) in your MVTs as otherwise you will end up with small sample sizes. It may be better to concentrate on testing one area at a time with a well-designed A/B test. Often a slower optimisation process staying within your traffic capabilities is more reliable than trying to overdo multivariate testing.
Qualitative research and other forms of customer feedback (e.g. usability testing) can provide useful insights for understanding user needs and for developing hypothesis. However, most users don't reply to surveys on or off-line. Further, neuroscience research indicates that a majority of our decisions are made by our non-conscious brain. This means that we are not fully aware of why we make many of the small decisions when navigating a website. Always make decisions based upon user's actions and not what they say. If you can validate your hypothesis with A/B testing as this is the only way to find out how visitors react to a change in real-life.
Survivorship bias is a common logical error that we can all suffer from at times. Teams involved in conversion optimisation may be prone to survivorship bias if they lack a good understanding of statistics and so training in this area of optimisation will reduce the likelihood that they fall into the trap of neglecting users who don't survive a process.

Chester product Williams a force at West Chester

PUBLISHED: October 17, 2013 at 10:23 p.m. | UPDATED: August 19, 2021 at 4:00 a.m.
WEST CHESTER – One meeting was all West Chester coach Bill Zwaan needed to know that he had to have Chester All-Delco linebacker Ronell Williams on his football team. It wasn't what Williams said during the interview at Chester High that convinced Zwaan that Williams was a perfect fit for the Golden Rams, it was what the 6-1, 230-pound linebacker did. Williams insisted that Zwaan also talk to several of Williams' high school teammates. 'He wanted to make sure that his teammates had an opportunity to talk to West Chester,' Zwaan said. 'He didn't want it to be just about him. That's the type of kid he is.' One of the players Williams brought into the meeting was Laquan Robinson, who went on to become an All-American defensive back at Widener before he left school for unspecified reasons following his sophomore year. 'Laquan's like my brother,' Williams said. 'If the opportunity is there, the least they could say was no, but let's give it a chance to see what they can do. That's the way I am. I want guys to have a chance.' Zwaan took a chance on Williams and the decision has paid huge dividends for both. Williams developed into a Division II All-American, only the third West Chester defensive player and the first sophomore on either side of the ball to be so honored when he was named to the AFCA and Associated Press 'Little' All-America teams last season. In 27 career games, Williams ranks 10th in West Chester history in in total tackles (243) and third in assisted stops (156). 'He's a legitimate pro prospect,' Zwaan said. 'There are some things he has to do to get there, but he's a legitimate pro prospect. He's one of the best players I've ever coached.' With Williams leading the defense, West Chester is off to its best start in 39 years. The Golden Rams are 6-0 overall and 3-0 in the PSAC heading into Saturday's game at Lock Haven. The Golden Rams are ranked 15th in the American Football Coaches Association Division II top 25 and 18th in the D2football.com poll. 'It's great to be part of a winning team with a great tradition,' Williams said. 'I'm just grateful for the opportunity to play college football.' Williams wasn't a star right from the start. He sat out the 2010 season as a redshirt because of what Williams termed a paperwork snafu from high school. Even though he was not allowed to practice with the team, Williams said that semester away from football turned out to be a blessing in disguise. 'It allowed me to get acclimated to college from a classroom perspective,' Williams said. 'I was able to get my academics in order. From a football perspective, I was able to work out and get strong and observe the game and learn it from the outside looking in. 'By the time spring ball came around, I understood how fast and how different the college game is. I wasn't thrown right into the fire. I kind of eased my way into it and that helped a ton.' Williams is on pace to graduate in 2015 with a degree in occupational therapy. Under the tutelage of linebackers coach Bill Shuey, who spent 10 years in the NFL, Williams worked his way into the starting lineup as a redshirt freshman and has been a fixture in the middle ever since. 'I see it all as a blessing from God,' Williams said. 'West Chester gave me an opportunity to come to college. The coaches trusted me enough to put me on the field as a freshman where I had an opportunity to showcase my talents.' Zwaan saw Williams' skill on film. That's why he recruited him. All it took was one meeting to find out about the man. 'He hasn't changed,' Zwaan said. 'He's the same kid I met that day at Chester High. 'He always looks out for his other guys. He's a leader. Everybody on the campus likes him a lot. He's not just a great football player. He's a great young man from a great family. We're fortunate to have him.'

I've said a few times that I wasn't all that impressed with Firefox. That was true at the time and it's mostly true now. But here's a confession: I've been using Firefox as my primary browser for the past few months.
It comes down to two things: tabbed browsing and, more importantly, the many extensions (a nerd word for add-ons) that are available for Firefox.
1) Added the Google Toolbar. Some Firefox purists argue that Google is "bad like Microsoft" and you don't need the Google Toolbar. That's hogwash. The Google Toolbar is a great add-on to any browser.
2) Performed the speed tweaks outlined here. Some comment that some or all of them are unnecessary, but things seem to go faster after the tweak. It may be the placebo effect, but it feels good.
3) Added the Bugmenot extension. I hate having to register to read free sites, with this add-on I don't have to.
4) Added the extension that makes Blogger (the front-end I use to create, but not host, this site) always use the current date. Otherwise it uses the date and time a post was initially created and I often save posts as drafts for days or even weeks before I post them. This add-on saves me a lot of headaches.
5) Added the Onfolio Firefox extension. This allows me to use my beloved Onfolio in Firefox.
There are hundreds of other extensions, but these are the ones that I use everyday. Once Internet Explorer adds tabbed browsing (scheduled to be included in the upcoming new version), I always figured I'd switch back to it. But with all of these extra features to choose from I may not.
a) It takes a little work to get the hang of finding and installing these extensions, but once you do it once you can do it again and it's very worth it.
b) I just installed the newest version of Firefox (RC 1.5) and that broke all of my extensions. Some of them are available for this new version. Others, like the Onfolio one, don't yet work in this version. Google Toolbar says is does, but it doesn't. I suspect this will all get fixed before too long.

The success of first and second generation wireless systems has paved the way for further research opportunities towards the next generation systems. The two standards GSM and IS-95 based on TDMA and CDMA respectively, have deeply influenced our system-level understanding, bringing new perspectives on the problems associated with wireless networks and potential for innovations. This volume presents the proceedings of the second workshop on multiaccess, mobility and teletraffic for personal communications held in May 1996 in Paris, France where some important subjects on the next generation systems have been treated. These include topics dealing with information theoretic aspects, channel modeling, diversity, interference control, resource allocation, power control, packet multi-access, stochastic modeling of mobility and traffic, and wireless network control. The selected topics in this workshop and their presented set of solutions reflect the richness of the problems in wireless communications. Indeed, development of theoretical frameworks with considerable attention to the peculiar environment of wireless communications has been the prime objective of this workshop. To elaborate, consider the problem of multi-access methods which remains a challenge for researchers. A complete evaluation of an access scheme must consider different aspects such as propagation, interference, mobility and traffic modeling. Some common bases, paradigms and models are needed. For example, today, we do not have a common archetype like the A WGN channel as in classical statistical communication. Clearly, there is a need for justified assumptions and models.

US strike targets vehicle bomb in Somalia
US forces in Somalia have conducted a strike against a bomb-laden vehicle that was going to be used against civilians in Mogadishu, the US military's Africa Command said Wednesday.
The strike against Al-Qaeda-affiliated al-Shabaab militants occurred early January 2 about 50 kilometers (30 miles) west of the capital.
It killed "two terrorists and (destroyed) one vehicle-borne improvised explosive device, preventing it from being used against the people in Mogadishu," AFRICOM said in a statement.
"We assess no civilians were killed in this strike," the statement read.
The Shabaab has been fighting to overthrow successive internationally backed governments in Mogadishu since 2007 and frequently deploys car and truck bombs against military, government and civilian targets.
The group lost its foothold in Mogadishu in 2011 but has continued its fight and still controls vast rural areas and is widely blamed for the country's worst ever bombing, which in October left 512 dead.
According to a study released Wednesday by the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, a Washington think tank, the United States conducted 35 air strikes in Somalia in 2017, a big increase over prior years.
The additional strikes come as part of a broader push by the Trump administration to increase anti-jihadist actions across the region, including in Yemen.

Giving on the menu at Art Is In
Kevin and Stephanie Mathieson, owners of the Art Is In Bakery, have recently partnered with Mealshare. Heather Botham, Centretown NewsWhen Kevin and Stephanie Mathieson learned that their restaurant could help provide free meals to youth in need, the couple thought it was a great chance to give back to their community.
Their Centretown restaurant launched a new partnership this month with Mealshare, a Canadian non-profit working to end youth hunger.
"It really sticks with our core values," said Stephanie Mathieson, co-owner of Art Is In Bakery, located on City Centre Avenue near Bayview station. "We really want to be part of the community and make a difference that way."
Mealshare, which came to Ottawa five months ago, celebrated over a million meals served to hungry youth across Canada as of Nov. 1. Of those meals, 11,514 were served in Ottawa. The program is adding eight new partners in the city this month in hopes of increasing those numbers.
Since its launch in 2013, Mealshare has worked with more than 300 restaurants in eight cities nationwide. The group aims to provide a free meal for each purchase of a Mealshare-labelled menu item at partnering restaurants.
These partners select a few items on their menu to mark with the Mealshare logo. If a customer chooses one of these items, they get their meal at the regular price. But they also help provide a meal to a hungry youth. Mealshare calls it a "buy one, give one" model.
"If people chose to buy, let's say, one of the sandwiches that is part of the Mealshare (program), there's an amount attached to this that we owe the association at the end of the month," said Mathieson.
Mealshare collects this money to give monthly cheques to their local charity partners. Half of all meals served are delivered by these charities, while the other half are provided by Mealshare's international partner, Save the Children Canada.
In Ottawa, Mealshare's primary partner is Operation Come Home, a walk-in centre for youth headquartered on Gloucester Street in Centretown. The charity uses the donations from the program to shop for meals to serve during its daily drop-in hours.
"It's really wonderful because in the past it's (been) very difficult to afford things like meats," said Lynda Frank, OCH programs and services director. "With the funding we've received through Mealshare, we're actually able to provide really good, hardy meals every time people are here."
She said 1,500 meals were served through Mealshare last month to about 200 youth. Cristina Dufaure is one who benefited from the service.
"I have food in my fridge every day and my belly is full in the morning," said Dufaure. "If it wasn't for the food bank here I probably would have starved some days."
The 25-year-old said she gets milk, fruit and meat from the centre, where she's been coming every week day since she moved to Ottawa last year.
She said she even hopes to organize a bake sale to raise funds for more meal options and to help draw more youth to the food service. "I think if people saw that more people are coming, we could get more help," she said.
The community support for a project like Mealshare in Ottawa has been unbelievable, said the group's Ottawa community leader, Mariam Zohouri. "I think Ottawa really does have a strong penchant for grassroots movements," she said. "I feel that Mealshare fits right into the ecosystem that already exists."
Mathieson thinks the idea will get positive reactions from customers. "We get a lot of youth at Art Is In," she said, "so I think it will be well received."
The Clocktower Brew Pub, one of Mealshare's existing partners in Ottawa, helped serve at least 760 meals.
