Canada at the 1952 Olympic Games
Although Canada does not have a men's basketball team represented at the 2020 Tokyo Summer Olympics… it did show well internationally during the 1950s' with appearances at the Olympics, Pan American Games and FIBA Basketball World Cup. In a five-part series, we start off with the 1952 Summer Olympics.
Curtis J. Phillips
1952 Olympics.
Helsinki, Finland.
Messuhalli Olympic Basketball Arena.
9th place tied with Czechoslovakia.
Roster: Ralph 'Woody' Campbell, Bill Coulthard, Jim Curren, Charlie Dalton, Benny Lands, Bill Pataky, Glen Pettinger, Bob Phibbs, Bob Pickell, Carl Ridd, Bob Simpson, Henry Wade, George Wearring, Roy Williams along with manager Eddie Bowering and coach Paul Thomas.
Canada will continue to go with the format that the winner of the Senior Men's Canadian National Basketball Championships will represent at major international events with the team allowed to round out the roster with a few players from other teams.
At these 1952 Olympic, Canada is represented by the Tillsonburg Livingstons who had bested the University of Western Ontario Mustangs 79-65; 75-69; 82-83; 87-75.
The Livingstons roster was supplemented by Carl Ridd and Roy Williams from Winnipeg and Bob Pickel from Vancouver.
Livingstons player/coach Paul Thomas, 24, would become Canada's youngest ever basketball coach at Olympic competition. He was ineligible to compete as a player though, in that he had played semi-pro basketball during the summers in the Catskills.

This was supposedly the greatest game in Olympic basketball competition and those were the words of Dr. Jones (Renato William Jones one of the founding fathers of the Fédération Internationale de Basketball Amateur (FIBA) in 1932)." praised Thomas.

Thomas reminisced with this reporter a few months prior to his death in 2017 about the overall experience and the talents of some of the players on the Canadian team.
"We had only three practices in Montreal before we went overseas. That's how bad things were. When we got there, they were using a ball with laces on them like a soccer ball. Every time you put the ball on the floor it would roll away. But the States brought over enough regular basketballs for every team to use.
"The backboards were made of some plastic material and it was extremely dead. You could hit the board from anywhere and the ball would plop in. It meant that the poor shooters could score. They could fire a line drive at the basket and they would plop on. But us…the Canadians and Americans…had high arching shots."
"Bob Phibbs was like Canada's Hank Luisetti (a USA star who popularized the running one-hand shot). Bob was an excellent one-handed shooter who would shoot first and pasts second. When Bob played, he would take 20 or more shots a game. The next day the announcer would rip him and say that Bob shot too much. Little did the announcer know is that's where the game was going?" Paul Thomas – Canadian basketball head coach at 1952 Olympics in Helsinki
"Bob Pickell was a raw big boned guy. One leg was shorter than the other but that didn't hold him back."
"Bill Coulthard could shoot the hell out of the basketball. He never gave anyone problems. In his day he was good but the best thing he did was to raise his kids."
"Carl Ridd wasn't a shooter but he was a scorer. I think he tried out for the Minneapolis Lakers. Carl told me that he could only see a faint line where the rim was and I marveled how he could score despite the vision problems. Having to focus hard on where the rim was his success. Surprisingly he did not play with his glasses on always."
An interesting side bar.
The gold medal match was held August 2, 1952 as the USA prepared to take on the USSR for a 4 p.m. tipoff.
Thomas and the rest of Canada's men's hoop squad are literally running late in getting to Messuhalli Olympic Basketball Arena to watch.
Thomas, who had been a four-time U Sports All Star at the University of Western Ontario, earning him a tryout with the New York Knicks, spotted an open space on the sidelines.
His daughter Misty Thomas, who attended University of Nevada-Las Vegas where she was named at two-time All American in basketball, continues with the rest of the story.
"As you know my dad was the coach of the 1952 team and they were late arriving to the gold medal match," said Thomas, who was a member of Canada's National Women's Basketball team when they dribbled their way to a bronze medal at the 1986 World Championships and a fourth place finish at the 1984 Los Angeles Summer Olympics.
"The place was packed but my father spied some open space on the floor and directed his players there. Apparently everything got very quiet as they sat down and they noticed everyone staring at them.
"Turns out the reason there was some open floor space was because the Duke and his entourage were seated in the front row." Misty Thomas – Member of Canada's National Women's Basketball team
Now…when Misty is referring to the Duke, it is not in regards to legendary USA basketball coach Hank Iba, the "The Iron Duke of Defense", who coached teams to NCAA championships in 1945 and 1946 along with Olympic medals in 1964, 1968 and 1972, but the Duke of Edinburgh, Prince Philip.
"My father had unknowingly sat down directly in front of him which was obviously a major faux pas.
"The Duke took things in stride and invited everyone to stay put and enjoy the match. Apparently he spent quite a bit of time asking my father about various tactics throughout the match and, as you know, my father certainly enjoyed teaching the Duke about the sport."
The USA went on to claim gold in a low scoring 36-25 final while Paul Thomas explained the Dunk to the Duke.

Tampa homebuilder wants to ditch plans for timeshare near Ruby Lake for multifamily
By Amanda Rabines
Tampa-based Bering Homes is seeking a land use change from timeshare to multifamily and commercial just off Palm Parkway. (Orange County Property Appraiser/staff edit)
A Tampa-based homebuilder wants to do away with plans to build timeshare units near Ruby Lake, and instead build up to 400 multifamily units along with additional commercial space.
The change is being sought by Bering Homes, which recently reactivated the shelved Tierra Del Sol resort development near ChampionsGate in Polk County.
Planner Jim Hall of Hall Development Services filed the Land Use Plans on behalf of Bering LLC, led by Chad R. O'Brien. It's set to go before Orange County's Development Review Committee this week.
If approved, plans would allow for up to 400 multifamily units and 15,000 square feet of commercial space. The request would replace previous entitlements calling for 420 timeshare units with 30,000 square feet of commercial space.
A conceptual site plan for the property shows the development is geared to townhome construction. Representatives for Bering Homes could not be reached for comment.
Tampa homebuilder to resurrect defunct Four Corners vacation home community
Details on a new plan for a vacation home resort in 10 minutes from Disney that sat dormant for years.
By Laura Kinsler
Sunterra Corp. owns the 17.7-acre site at 11907 Ruby Lake Rd. It sits within the Lake Buena Vista North Overlay District, just west of Palm Parkway. Before being acquired for $700 million by the timeshare company Diamond Resorts in 2007, Sunterra operated a portfolio of nearly 100 vacation-ownership resorts around the world.
Bering Homes is also asking Orange County to change the Future Land Use Designation of the property from Activity Center Mixed-Use to Planned Development Commercial/Medium-High Density Residential.
The area has seen a flurry of new development over the past couple years, mostly from Pulte Homes. The home developer has amassed more than 157 acres of land bordering the lake for projects including Pulte Phillips Grove, Pulte's Ruby Lake and Overlook at Ruby Lake.
In Polk County, Bering Homes received county approval in December to build up to 252 short-term rental townhomes, as part of a larger 159-acre resort project at the corner of U.S. 27 and Bella Citta Boulevard.

Brink's Buys Mexican Secure Logistics Company
JOC Trucking Logistics
William B. Cassidy | Nov 18, 2010 11:03AM EST
Cash-carrying The Brink's Co. is expanding in Mexico by buying the country's largest secure logistics company, Servicio Pan Americano de Proteccion.
Brink's paid $60 million for approximately 79 percent of SPP, which is expected to have about $385 million in revenue in 2010 and $400 million in 2011.
Brink's has owned 21 percent of SPP since 1965, and acquired almost all of its remaining stock from a banking consortium. A Mexican company will continue to own a small portion of the company to comply with Mexican law.
By The Numbers: U.S. Surface Trade With Mexico.
Mexico's cash-in-transit market is the fifth largest in the world, according to Brink's, with total revenue estimated at $900 million. Mexico's violent battle against drug cartels and organized crime increases the need for secure transportation.
SPP employs about 12,000 people at 80 branches and operates 1,350 armored vehicles across Mexico. SPP's revenue has increased between 5 and 8 percent in each of the past three years, with operating margins in the 1 to 2 percent range.
"Our longer-term goal is to achieve operating margins that exceed 10 percent," said Michael T. Dan, chairman, president and CEO of Brink's.
Latin America includes Brink's fastest growing and most profitable operations, Dan said. SPP expects a slight loss in 2011, however, as it reorganizes.

LORD, I NEED A RESURRECTION!
I hope that you all had a glorious Resurrection Sunday! Unfortunately, I spent mine battling the flu. I have never failed to be at church on an Easter Sunday in my life!! I guess there is a first time for everything. Not being able to participate in the celebration was disheartening, but I was able to fellowship with God at home and rejoice in the fact that Jesus has indeed risen from the dead!
When things happen that you don't expect, it's easy to get despondent. Life can knock you down sometimes, can't it? In those times we need a resurrection! Below is a poem that I wrote called "Lord, I Need a Resurrection." Perhaps you will be able to identify with the sentiments in the poem, but I also hope you will find encouragement.
I once heard Gordon Robertson of the Christian Broadcasting Network say, "You're never too dead for a resurrection." No matter how dead your situation may seem, God can flood the scene with His resurrection power at any moment. Remember, Jesus got up, so that you could get up no matter what is going on in your life. Hallelujah!
I'll never be truly free.
When "Enough!" my soul doth scream.
On this journey that I face.
And I'm overwhelmed by the enemy's ploys.
To manifest this very hour.
As I stand upon Your Word.
I praise You, for I, too, now live.
You'll speak life, and it shall be.


You know when you learn a new word, and then suddenly, you see the word everywhere? That's kind of what happened to me this week with Frank Chimero, only it wasn't the first time I had heard of him. I have proof, see, on this very blog, from back in the early days. So early, in fact, that the post was originally done on a platform that no longer exists, and was transported to this one.
Post number 1 (!!) on its original venue.
It's not that I'm trying to prove that I knew he was cool before anyone else. It's more that I'm trying to prove to myself that I have good taste, and that it was worth it to remember his name.
You see, that original venue was the ill-fated 1000 Markets. You've probably heard of Etsy; 1000 Markets was the same idea, except, well, beautiful. Selling one's wares involved a few hurdles (the site was curated; your product photos had to look good, or you wouldn't be accepted), which ensured that any page on the site looked clean and professional. I loved the way my products looked on 1KM. I loved the way everyone's products looked on 1KM. It became the shop I sent people to, because that's how I wanted them to see my products for the first time.
Unfortunately, it was not to be, and 1KM URLs now bounce to Bonanza. Double-unfortunately, Bonanza is ugly (I actually just poked around after typing that, to see if their site design had improved at all. I thought for a few moments that I was wrong, and they had improved—it didn't look so bad! But then I found the mother of all reasons never to sell my wares there: all-caps extra-large comic sans. In three different colors. Granted, it was an individual seller's shop policies, but it shouldn't even be an option. I didn't go hunting for it; it was the first item I clicked on).
But, back to my impeccable taste. So, Frank Chimera had a shop on 1KM, and I found his art and loved it, and blogged about it in 2009. What I didn't know (until I don't know, today maybe?) was that Frank was also responsible for the beautiful site design of 1000 Markets. Chimero said, "Artisanal selling is the only model of selling things where there's delight on both sides: delight in making, and then delight in consuming. It's a transfer of delight."
It turns out, delight is a bit of a specialty for Frank Chimero. You may have noticed that everything in this post that can be a link is a link, except for Frank's name. That's because I'm making you wait for the delight. His newly launched website, and this other thing of his I found, are absolutely delightful. You need to see them. I promise they're worth the wait.
_But back to my story: so, 1KM was no more, and I couldn't find much on Frank Chimero back then, but I didn't really try that hard. Then this week happened. I read a LifeHacker article about creating your own personal (or professional) landing page.
And there he was. There is no link in the article. There is nothing to indicate that this is Frank Chimero, other than the blurry name in the picture.
As far as I can tell, this personal / professional landing page doesn't even exist anymore—at least not in this form. Then, posted a week later, but it's possible I saw them the same day, was this mention of Frank's newly redone website on Swiss Miss.
Are you back? Are you impressed by that delightful scrolley business? OK, now go here: Frank Chimero's Lost World's Fair: Atlantis. Scrolling all the way to the bottom of a ridiculously long web page has never been so delightful!
There are many interviews with this design master out there, and all of them leave you wanting to be a designer if you're not one already, or to be a better designer if you are. He just wrote a book: The Shape of Design, if you want to delve deeper. This talk he did at the Build Conference is pretty good, too, though I think his audience is a bit of a dud: they don't laugh at his jokes!
One more thing I found impressive, though not at all surprising: almost all of the websites I could find that feature an interview with Frank, or his art, design, or ideas, itself is an example of great design. It's reassuring to see that the people who praise Frank Chimero the most actually know what they're talking about. They recognize great design because they strive to create it themselves.
Oh, also The Mavenist is pretty awesome. Frank explains what it is here, using my all-time favorite exchange from The West Wing as an analogy. Can this fool get any better? Oh, wait, he's a Portland boy, so—yes, yes he can.
I have been intrigued by photography printed on canvas for quite some time. Art on canvas seems inherently more permanent than art on paper, even archival quality photographic paper.
But having spent the last 20 years attempting to eliminate all vestiges of graininess from my photographs, it's hard willingly to have one printed on a textured surface.
This canvas would also represent the largest format on which one of my photographs had ever been printed. The hardest part for me was definitely choosing which photograph to use. I wanted to use a photograph with a high resolution, so the print size was not an issue. I also wanted a photograph with lots of intricate detail, so I could see exactly how details fared on the canvas substrate.
I delayed hanging the image until I gauged their reactions. I figured it could have gone one of two ways: "Ooh! That is so cool!" or "Good grief, what is that?"
Luckily, it was the former.
My box from Zaza Gallery arrived far sooner than I expected it; a pleasant surprise.
I immediately opened the package and began inspecting the canvas closely. The detail was remarkable. Each grain of sand and bump on the crab's back was crisp and in focus, despite being printed on a textured surface.
The craftsmanship of the frame itself was top-notch as well. The corners were neatly folded, and the borders of the image were mirrored as they wrapped around the wooden frame, giving the illusion of the image continuing around the edge, without any loss of visibility of the image borders from the front.
All in all, I am quite pleased with my first canvas, and I shall return to Zaza Gallery for my future canvas printing needs.

'Start Collecting Books Now!'
Start Collecting
Aimed at reaching a public who haven't started to collect books yet, but who might want to, "Start Collecting Books Now", a new PBFA initiative was launched at the 2008 York National Book Fair.
The designer Mark Hearld, York based artist, has produced delightful artwork making it hard to resist picking up a copy. The design mirrors his designs for the York National Book Fair publicity which he has also rebranded this year. Mark is inspired by British artists such as Eric Ravilious, John Piper and Edward Bawden, who appropriately was the last designer commissioned by the PBFA . Bawden famously designed the cat logo. Mark said about the project, "It has been exciting working for the PBFA following in the great Edward Bawdens' footsteps. I am passionate about books… collecting books so taking on this commission is just right. I've learnt to draw cats in the process but I think it is the mice which hit the spot!"
Mark has an accelerating national reputation and recent projects include work for Penguin Books, and the poster for the forthcoming Tate Britain's Curwen Studios 50th anniversary exhibition. Mark studied Illustration at Glasgow School of Art, followed by an MA in Natural History Illustration at the Royal College of Art.
Jill Tiffin, of the PBFA, who has masterminded the project, said "there is no doubt we need to reach a wider and younger audience. We hope this initiative will be the first step in attracting a new generation of book collectors". The booklet draws together information on how and where to buy books, it encourages visits to fairs and bookshops as well as tackling on line buying.
You will be able to pick up a copy of the booklet at the York National Book Fair, now the largest book fair for the sale of out of print titles, maps and ephemera in Britain. The catalogue for the book fair, which includes books for sale, can be viewed on line at www.yorkbookfair.com Here you can print out complimentary tickets else admission is £2.00 at the door. Throughout the weekend event, there is a free shuttle bus from the railway station to the Racecourse. It runs every twenty minutes.

Sex Educators and Performers King Noire & Jet Setting Jasmine Featured in Pornub Weekend Summit
Sex Educators/Performers King Noire & Jet Setting Jasmine are the featured speakers at this weekend's Sex Worker Survival Guide Summit sponsored by Pornhub.
Pornhub to Launch Sex Work Survival Guide Virtual Summit This Weekend.
Sex Work Survival Guide January 9 & 10
The summit will center Black, Brown, and LGBTQIA+ voices, experiences, and of course, pleasure, to illustrate and uplift the exceptionally non-white industry."
— Tiana Glittersaurus Rex, Pornhub Sex Worker Summit Media Contact
NEW YORK, NY, USA, January 9, 2021 /EINPresswire.com/ — Educators and Performers King Noire and Jet Setting Jasmine are one of the featured sex work speakers in this weekend's Sex Work Survival Guide Summit happening on this weekend, Saturday, January 9 and Sunday, January 10.
PORNHUB hosts the inaugural Sex Work Survival Guide, a summit that will introduce their new interactive digital education and communication platform. The Sex Work Survival Guide is a free digital conference produced by Tiana Glittersaurus Rex, The Domme Kat, and Lola Jean. This one-of-a-kind digital adult industry trade festival aims to educate and support prospective and new adult entertainers and content creators. For two days, the Sex Work Survival Guide utilizes Pornhub's new digital platform to supply a series of panels, presentations, and roundtables, to the digital crowd. The summit features a mix of live-streamed and pre-recorded content that will be exclusive to the new platform.
Sex Work is a highly diverse industry and features a myriad of ways to earn income, both residual and immediate. This diversity often attracts an equally varied group of interested potential sex workers, typically accompanied by a strange and sometimes challenging learning curve. The Sex Work Survival Guide aims to close that gap by clarifying the legalities, safety (sexual, emotional, and physical), along with the financial and business strategies needed to achieve success in the adult entertainment industry.
The Sex Work Survival Guide promotes leans on the real-world experiences of some of the industry's most successful entertainers. Speakers slated to appear include Natassia Dreams, Asa Akira, King Noire, Wolf Hudson, JetSetting Jasmine, Ana Foxxx, Lotus Lain, Sinnamon Love, Tyomi Morgan, James Darling, Xenon Universe, Fivestar, Mickey Mod & more. The Sex Work Survival Guide uses a community-driven lens to entertain while simultaneously educating viewers on harm reduction, therefore improving their understanding of the industry as a whole and how to navigate the inherent Whorearchy, racism, and oppression embedded in all aspects of our society. Talks include "How to prevent burnout," "How to establish & maintain online accounts with privacy," and "What does anti-racist sex work look like?" The summit will center Black, Brown, and LGBTQIA+ voices, experiences, and of course, pleasure, to illustrate and uplift the exceptionally non-white industry.
Although this 2-day summit is designed and intended for industry newcomers who have questions and concerns about working in the sex industry in any capacity, it welcomes active performers and veterans alike.

Using a Journal as a Tool For Health and Healing in the New Year
Keeping a journal or personal diary is an amazingly simple tool that supports and enhances self-awareness and mindfulness.
Journal writing is quick and easy, yet so beneficial! In a few brief sentences, in just a few minutes a day, you can reduce stress from unexpressed emotions and open up doors to healing."
— Dr. Linda Miles
UNITED STATES , December 30, 2020 /EINPresswire.com/ — Keeping a journal or personal diary is an amazingly simple tool that supports and enhances self-awareness and mindfulness. Writing about where you are, where you were, and where you want to go allows you to review and track your thoughts and experiences in a tangible, visible form. You begin to observe and recognize what you are doing with your life, and notice that there are areas you may want to change.
Regular journaling can also improve blood pressure, insomnia, mental well-being, and boost the immune system, according to a 10-year research program conducted by James Pennebaker of the University of Texas.
Jane is a 35 year-old divorced woman with a 5 year-old son. Although her marriage ended two years ago, she still struggles with finding a sense of direction in her personal life. At work and in her parenting, she is focused and goal-directed, yet when her son is with his dad every other week, and she is alone at home, she finds herself in a funk. She often feels fatigued and spends her free time absently watching TV, overeating junk food, or drinking wine.
As part of Jane's therapy, I suggested that she keep a journal to help her look at patterns in her thoughts and emotions. As a result, she was better able to see how frozen she had been in her personal life after her divorce. By stepping back and writing about her experiences on a daily basis, she became mindful of her inner numbness and inspired to look for ways to find joy and inner contentment. She recently shared, with a laugh, "I did not realize I was such a zombie!" Although it may be painful at times for Jane to write about her feelings of emptiness, doing so helps motivate her toward healing and change.
Mindful journaling is about paying attention. Although some people find it helpful to write pages at the time, this is not necessary. In fact, the method I recommend most is simply answering two straightforward questions:
1. What thoughts or feelings were most important to you today?
2. What lessons did you learn today?
Here is an example of an entry Jane may have made in her own journal:
1. Today I felt sad and lonely.
2. I need to plan ahead for time to be with others, exercise, and find meaningful activity.
You may start your journal any time. Below are some helpful tips:
• Decide in advance whether you want to keep your journal entries private or not, though you can change your mind about this at any point.
• Keep your journal, along with a pen or pencil, where you will see it every day — on the kitchen table, your desk, or in your briefcase — as a reminder to keep it up daily.
• You may wish to use different ink colors when writing about certain feelings (e.g., green = growth, blue = sadness, orange = joy, red = anger, etc.). Make sure to include a color key in your journal so that you are consistent.
• Using a pre-formatted book like The 5 Year Journal found at http://www.levenger.com, is an easy way to keep a journal. You can also use a computer, a blank book, or simply a notebook. Choose one that has enough pages to write a few lines each day for five years.
• Don't worry about skipping one or more days or even weeks. When you look back at your entries, these gaps will be very telling.
Journal writing is quick and easy, yet so beneficial! In a few brief sentences, in just a few minutes a day, you can reduce stress from unexpressed emotions and open up doors to healing. In addition, re-reading sections regularly allows you to track recurring destructive thoughts and feelings. By identifying trends, triggers, and effective coping strategies, you can take steps toward positive and permanent change for improved mental and physical health.

Studies have also found that in LA County, Black mothers have been dying 4x more than other mothers, and unfortunately this rate is trending up. One of the leading causes of both of these startling mortality rates is stress on the mother and baby during and after their pregnancy. The efforts by the companies and organizations hosting this donation drive hope to relive a portion of this stress on black mothers, babies, and families.
Due to the pandemic, this donation drive is being hosted both in person and virtually. Those willing to donate are encourage to shop with one of the event sponsors and have the donation shipped directly to Black Latino Alliance.
"This year has been hard on so many families. I'm so happy to join these amazing organizations to bring some relief and help to those families who need it" says Angelou Masters, Owner at My Proud Baby. This is the first donation drive that the company has sponsored.

Four Experts In Personal And Professional Development Aim To Ease The Post-Pandemic Panic
Four Professional Women and Life Coaches Are Pooling Their Collective Brain-Power To Make Real Change
Four Experts in Mental Wellness and Life Coaching are pooling their brain-power to change lives with the Crown and Compass Initiative
CHICAGO, ILLINOIS, UNITED STATES, December 28, 2020 /EINPresswire.com/ — Residual side-effects of the Pandemic are quickly consuming the conversation of mental health and helping professions nationwide. These side-effects of a year in social isolation are weight gain, career issues, and relationship obstacles, just to name a few. Studies are starting to show that the combination of economic hardship and loneliness is pushing people to the point of frantic concern. In response to the overwhelming demand The Crown and Compass Team, based out of Arlington Heights, Illinois is offering up their expertise to effect change.
A Kaiser Family Foundation poll taken in the US found that nearly half of Americans reported that the coronavirus crisis had harmed their mental health. After the stress of 2020, the helping industries such as life coaching and mental health professionals are in agreement that radical change is needed now. Julie Lokun, the founder of the Crown and Compass Life Coaching has newly launched the "Dream Catchers" initiative with a mission to give communities the tools to take back control of their lives. Lokun has announced today that the program will be accessible to all demographics and will be free of charge. The inaugural event begins on January 4th. Lokun has noticed a pattern of women who are crying out for a collection of real experiences that elevate their personal and professional aspirations. The launch of the "Dream Catchers" will be a vehicle to serve women on a massive level.
The Crown and Compass Coaching team is gearing up for the Dream Catchers Challenge by offering free resources on their website to encourage women to take inventory of their lives and understand that they are the only ones that have the power to change their circumstances. "Getting your house in order is the key to success", Tristin Hodges, a licensed mental health professional, and life coach suggests. Hodges is kicking off the Dream Catchers event by revealing her own brand of a mindset-makeover. "Doing the internal work and figuring out a fresh approach to your personal and professional life is key".
Hodges leads the team at Crown and Compass Life Coaching as a therapeutic advisor and leading expert in mindset development. The Pandemic, at the very least, has thrown a major curveball in our mental, physical and spiritual journeys. Hodges emphasizes that "Emotional agility and the ability to manage your emotional responses to situations is imperative– rather than simply reacting to a moment". This emotional awareness has always been a pivotal skill for navigating the challenges associated with parenting, working, and relationships".
In response to this explosive trend in needing professional support, Tristin Hodges and her partner, Julie Lokun, Masters Life Coach, have assembled a team of experts to provide the support for those looking for radical changes in their lives.
Tia Morell, a holistic health coach and team member of the Crown and Compass will lead this challenge on the wellness-focused Day 3. Morell iworks with clients from a holistic perspective that can alter their overall health journey. "I am thrilled to be working on this team of amazing women who have only one mission– which is to empower" Morell, will be the lead in terms of guiding participants to living a more mindful lifestyle-which ultimately will be the catalyst for changes in their health.
The synergy between the coaches guarantees a platform of accountability and substantive change. "People are waking up from the hibernation of the pandemic and looking at their personal and professional issues and don't know what to do…." Explains Mika Altidor, Certified Life Coach, "The challenge begins on January 4th, and all the participants will be provided with a daily lesson and activity." Altidor adds, " All you have to do is sign up on our website and then open your mind to the possibilities of living in abundance. "
This team of four dynamic coaches is offering up a collaboration that is fresh and unlike any other coaching team. "Take advantage of the brain-power this team offers…..it may be your secret weapon for taking control of your life in 2021", Lokun adds.

Divorce and Coparenting Support
ALBANY, NY, USA, December 21, 2020 /EINPresswire.com/ — Introducing Mediation: A Better Way to Navigate through Divorce
(Elizabethtown, New York) Mediated Online Solutions is a newly-formed organization that offers virtual mediation, divorce coaching, and co-parenting support services for couples going through divorce or separation.
The team at Mediated Online Solutions offers a respectful alternative to the traditional adversarial process where parties battle out their differences and judges decide their fate. The goal in mediation is for the parties to reach a mutually beneficial agreement without the expense and stress of a lengthy court battle. In today's unprecedented times, this is possible online through video conferencing platforms like Zoom and Skype. This allows for maximum convenience to the parties, who can conveniently – and safely – mediate their family law issue from the convenience of their home.
Debra Whitson is an experienced Mediator and Collaborative Divorce Attorney. Her prior experience as a prosecutor and her many years spent in her family law practice have led Debra to strongly believe that legal battles are more harmful than helpful to families. As a result, she is passionate about helping people find ways to make their own decisions rather than leaving it to the court. Debra uses her knowledge and experience to mediate divorce, separation, prenuptial and postnuptial agreements, cohabitation agreements, child custody, child/spousal support, and property division.
John Haverlick is a licensed clinical social worker, mediator, and family therapist who has spent over 50 years assisting children, families, and couples in recognizing their strength and resilience so that they can better cope with the situations in their lives. John is a trusted listener and guide, helping clients face some of their most difficult life obstacles with grace and compassion. He is also an expert at coaching individuals through life transitions such as divorce or separation. John has helped thousands of parents successfully navigate through the challenges of co-parenting after separation and the challenges of co-parenting through blended family situations.
With Debra's legal expertise and John's extensive experience in mental health, this power team is uniquely equipped to help couples with virtual coaching and mediation services to those going through divorce and co-parenting challenges. Being virtual means that they can help anyone, anywhere in the world at any time.
A mediated divorce helps families avoid the emotional toll of a litigated divorce and allows the parties to craft an agreement that is uniquely tailored to meet their needs. Because the process involves a pledge to treat each other with respect and teaches the couple better ways to communicate effectively, the parties can end their marriage and at the same time gain skills to more effectively co-parent and solve problems as they move forward. Most families who choose mediation spend less money on legal fees and litigation costs.
Mediated Online Solutions has received five-star reviews from clients who have seen positive results. One of those clients writes, "I wanted to go through the divorce process without losing my integrity and becoming bitter. Debra helped me navigate through my options with civility. Needing to get a divorce is unpleasant, but I was satisfied with the final outcome Debra helped me achieve."
"We are so excited to be able to bring this service together and give people an option that allows them to mediate their life from home," said Debra Whitson. "I have seen the toll that courtroom divorce and custody battles have taken on families, especially children. I can't imagine why anyone would choose litigation over mediation."
SERVICES OFFERED: Mediation, child custody support, co-parenting support, last will and testament support, Pre Nups and Post Nups,
Bridge gaps in communication
Prepare and organize
Handle any obstacles or challenges that come your way

The Orthodox's Courageous Battle against the Covid-19 Induced Rise in Abuse and Addictions
Rabbi Zvi Gluck
Amudim awareness event1
#UnitetoHeal
Amudim records unprecedented 69% rise in new caseloads since the start of coronavirus and subsequent lockdowns.
Amudim's Covid hotline saved my life"
— Tammy, 33 and a mother of 4
NY, NEW YORK, UNITED STATES, December 20, 2020 /EINPresswire.com/ — "Amudim's Covid hotline saved my life," Tammy, 33 and a mother of 4, expresses gratefully. For years, she endured the throes of her husband's verbal abuse, preferring to suffer in silence rather than bear the consequences and humiliation of divorce and single parenting. While her husband's behavior was intolerable at home, at least he spent the majority of his time in the office and "hanging out with the guys," as he'd succinctly portray his late nights out.
All that changed with the beginning of Covid and subsequent lockdown that had Tammy and her four kids living a nightmare and spending 24/7 in a small house in the presence of an abusive husband and father.
"The tension at home became unbearable. He was angry, frustrated, a caged lion. We did what we could to stay out of his way and keep the peace, but no matter what we did, it was always wrong," Tammy relives the horrors with a tremor in her voice. "Eventually, the verbal abuse turned physical. For so many years, I'd kept silent, confiding only the smallest bits and pieces to one very close friend. But I couldn't handle it anymore, and finally, on my friend's encouragement, I picked up the phone and called Amudim. The professional, caring support that I received literally saved my life. And my children's, too."
Tammy's story, unfortunately, is not an isolated incident and is one of thousands of cases of abuse and addiction that were once taboo in the Orthodox sector, but are gradually coming to light in a worldwide effort on part of the Orthodox community to fight them and rescue innocent victims.
One hero spearheading positive change is Rabbi Zvi Gluck, CEO and director of Amudim Community Resources, an association and crisis center combating abuse and addictions in the Orthodox sector. "We operate with encouragement and support of Orthodox rabbis who agree that unless we fight the crimes and ills of sexual abuse, neglect, domestic violence and addiction with weapons of awareness and truth, we're face community-wide disaster," expresses Gluck.
He readily admits that it wasn't long ago that few in the Orthodox world were willing to publicly discuss mental health or sensitive issues as abuse and addiction, yet Amudim is slowly causing the tide to turn. Since its inception in July of 2014, the organization had gone international with offices in New York, Florida, Ohio and Jerusalem. Fielding an average of 250 calls per day, it has assisted over 8,500 victims. When adding their family members and future generations into the equation, the organization has impacted, and continues to impact, tens of thousands. Thus Amudim is penetrating thick walls of silence and bringing painful issues to the surface to be combated on a community-wide level with the support of spiritual and community leaders and mental health professionals.
"We've seen firsthand that the Jewish community has come to terms with the painful reality that it isn't immune to contemporary threats that destroy lives," shares Humans of Judaism founder Nikki Schreiber who's been running Amudim's social media for the past two years.
Throughout six years, Amudim has run hundreds of awareness events, helped thousands of clients and opened multiple offices, steadily chipping away at stigmas that prevented too many from seeking help for too long. Today, Amudim is a household name and the go-to address for organizations, rabbis, schools and individuals dealing with difficult cases. This past year alone, it has logged upwards of 83,500 calls for help, as facets of the Covid-19 pandemic sparked an unprecedented mental health crisis.
Since the global outbreak of Covid-19 nine months ago, the numbers of recorded cases of abuse within the Orthodox community have been off the charts, Rabbi Gluck reveals the dismal statistics. In just nine months Amudim has documented a 59% increase in addiction, 55% spike in domestic violence, 74% rise in sexual abuse and whopping 150% surge in mental health cases.
"It hasn't been easy keeping up with the volume of calls when our financial base was hard hit, but our case managers rose to the task even while working remotely under less-than-ideal circumstances and deluged with pleas for help," he says proudly.
In the course of 2020, Amudim launched a variety of new initiatives to help people weather the storm. Its free Covid support line, staffed by over 100 mental health professionals, handled nearly 3,000 calls during its six months of operations, and a coronavirus page on its website provides a wealth of information including a full video library of new content for both adults and children addressing the pandemic and its ramifications in a meaningful way.
With abuse cases peaking in the past months and many more still emerging, Amudim's resources are stretched to the max. Responding to an urgent community-wide need, the organization is sponsoring Unite to Heal, a 36-hour virtual benefit this Sunday and Monday, December 20-21, to fund and, hopefully expand, its activities.
With an all star line-up of over 100 rabbis, mental health professionals, organization heads, entertainers, matchmakers, athletes and other well-known voices, Amudim's Unite to Heal fundraiser promises to be a blockbuster event.
"Dozens jumped on board, appreciating that Amudim is an essential organization," enthuses event producer Yummy Schachter. "The across-the-spectrum participation in Unite to Heal speaks volumes about the importance of Amudim and the general consensus that these issues need to be discussed. The fact that over one hundred community VIPs are lending their voices to the 36 segment-36 hour livestream event will hopefully be an eye opener encouraging even more people to reach out for help and help others."

Lifetime Networks' The Balancing Act, Sought Segment on Vikki Jones' Functional & Fashionable Tote Bags & Briefcases
Vikki Jones Designed Her Bag for Business
Ice White Bucket Bag w/ Magnetic Closures by Vikki Jones
High-Tech Leather Laptop Tote
The Balancing Act, a morning talk show on Lifetime TV Network takes interest in Vikki Jones' 'fashionable sleek styled' fully functional handbags and totes.
It's fascinating to know that my creativity is attracting national television! As with any venture, I think it's important that one makes the best decision(s) and alignment for their ideas. "
— Vikki Jones
NEW YORK , NEW YORK, USA, December 19, 2020 /EINPresswire.com/ — Vikki Jones' brand reinvents luxury for the modern woman, striking an exact balance between design, functionality, and style. The quality of limited stylish pieces attracted the attention of producers of Lifetime Network daytime TV show, The Balancing Act. Co-hosted by Daytime TV legend Montell Williams, The Balancing Act 'targets women who do it all', delivering 'style makeovers, parenting tips and the latest news in health and wealth. It aspires to "guide them through parenthood and work-life".
Designed with the conscious, fashionable professional in mind, Vikki Jones tote bags feature designated smart-device spaces, ample room for stationery supplies, and plenty of pockets, making transitions from the cafe workday to evenings out seamless. "It is a struggle to put things back in their place in an orderly manner when pressed for time, but when it amounts to wasted time and missed opportunities, that is unacceptable," says Vikki Jones.
Being a professional on the move presented a problem: storage. Plenty of options existed in the market, aimed at professionals and freelancers, but none were both efficient and attractive. Struggling to stay mobile and still work, Jones says, that "it was at that moment – bag malfunction while boarding a flight to an important event – I decided I was going to do something about it."
The Balancing Act suggested a short segment entitled "Dress For Success: Fashion and Functionality For Business Women" featuring Jones' business and toe bags. The show would have aired on The Lifetime Network at the end of Q1/2021, and an additional 500 times in National Broadcast Syndication.

G&O want to share their culinary experience following a recent trip to Italy. Italy has influenced chefs around the world and we will focus on three of its famous cities we visited – Rome, Venice and Florence. This will give a flavour of some of the country's best loved dishes.
Historic Rome is capital of Italy and the surrounding region of Lazio, renowned for its tender lamb, tart pecorino (sheeps's cheese), and top quality artichokes and courgettes. A gastronomic speciality is mouth-wateringly tender porchetta (roast suckling pig).
Make for the picturesque Trastevere district near the Vatican, where in summer you can dine alfresco under the stars. Check out Da Carlone trattoria on Via della Luce and wherever you go, look out for anything that's tagged 'alla romana', for something typically roman style.
Try Cariofiofi alla Romana which is stuffed and braised artichokes, Gnocchi di Semolino alla Romana, cheesy semolina dumplings, and also spaghetti alla carbonara with its smooth egg, bacon and cheese dressing, or spaghetti amatriciana (with tomato and grated pecorino) both Roman dishes, even without the tag! More meatily there's saltimbocca alla romana (veal wrapped ham and seasoned with sage in a marsala and butter sauce). Meanwhile, although Naples is the home of pizza as we know it, the Romans prefer thin, crunchy pizza bianca or white pizza, smeared with olive oil and sprinkled with salt and some herbs. The Roman addition of figs creates pizza e fiche! Delicious with a glass of frascati or castelli romani white wine.
In Venice make an early morning visit to the city's famous market neat the Rialto Bridge for a fabulous array of colourful fruit, vegetables, flower and glistening fresh fish. Great for the scenic photographs!
Venice's seafaring history means there are plenty of fish specialities. Sea bass, mullet and monkfish are often marinated prior to cooking. Delicious cefalo ai ferri is mullet that has been marinated in lemon juice and oil and then grilled. Another speciality is seppie in nero, cuttlefish cooked in their own black ink sauce. Certainly a treat for the taste buds. Sardines are another favourite and typical dishes include sardele in soar, fried sardines and onions dotted with sultanas and pine nuts, or simple sardele fritte, fried sardines. Fish and chips will never taste the same again!
For a really special experience, make for celebrated Harry's Bar, just off St Mark's Square. It buzzes all year around. Order a bellini, the famous cocktail of white peach and Prosecco (the Veneto region's own sparkling wine). If you're lucky and get a table, you can choose from one of four signature dishes created here. There's a spectacular grilled club sandwich, classic Venetian risi e bisi (rise with peas), risotto alla parmigiana or carpaccio, the paper then slices of raw beef.
The Tuscan countryside is teeming with delicious fruit, vegetables and livestock. Make for Florence's bustling 140 year old San Lorenzo Mercato Centrale on Via dell' Ariento, not far from Santa Maria Novella Station, and you will be blown away by the colours and fragrances of every kind of food stuff, from bunches of dried herbs, strings of garlic and the best of the region's renowned olive oil, to typical Tuscan flat, salt-free bread, whole cheeses and haunches of air dried ham.
Tuscan dishes are characteristically fragrant with herbs such as rosemary, thyme and basil. Tasty peasant dishes include ribollita, a thick soup made of leftover bread and vegetables. The Florentines are big meat eater though so look out for roast, tripe, rabbit and wild boar from the mountains. Perhaps the most famous dish is the bistecca alla fiorentina which is a truly huge and succulent steak from Tuscany's distinctively white Chianina oxen.

This non-slip US-canteen with screw-cap can go anywhere with you and will be your trusty companion even in extreme situations. It is BPA-free and has a capacity of 35 fl.oz. The tough bottle resists the dishwasher, the freezer and even the microwave can´t harm it.


Bathys, a boutique watchmaker based on Kauai, Hawaii and run by one determined man, first announced their wild Cesium 133 atomic watch in October. Now, a few months later, the company is nearly ready to hit the shoals of crowdfunding.
The company made a name for itself by building sturdy dive watches for the surfer set. We haven't heard much from them, however, until recently when they announced plans to make a watch that will remain accurate until your children's children jet off in their moon cars to Juno. It uses a Symmetricom SA.45s CSAC atomic clock on a chip to power a standard quartz face salvaged from an older Bathys model.
Created by John Patterson, the watch is still a work in progress but there is some talk of crowdfunding the product once it is ready for prime time. At this point ABlogToWatch estimates that the piece will cost $8,000 or so when complete with discounts offered to early adopters.
Obviously this thing is comically large and obviously battery life is an issue but this is the first standalone device that will be more accurate than some GPS units. Because it doesn't depend on a satellite sync it will be accurate all the time and even far into the future. While you're not going to wear this on your next surfing safari I don't see why you couldn't wear it stargazing or, barring that, while manning the tubes at the Large Hadron Collider.

Ancient Eastern Crossroads of Apamea Syria

The Cardo Maximus of Apamea
Driving up to Apamea after visiting the ruins of the other great cities of the area Al Basa and Sejilla while I was staying in Hama, Syria. This city was the center of it all at one point in time. The former village of Pharnake was renamed Apamea by the newly appointed and former Roman general to Alexander I king Selecukos Nikator I 's whose princess and wife was named Apama in 300 B.C. It was just another recent addition to the already vast and growing Roman Empire. The area flourished and it was home to as many as 500K occupants in the city by the 1st century. It became the merchant center of the area for the Romans since it was easy to defend geographically, it was in close proximity to the still bustling port city of Latakia and it was at the eastern crossroads for commerce.
The city continued to be a valuable asset to the Roman empire through the centuries. Roman Emperor Claudius continued his support from Rome even after a disastrous earthquake hit on December 13 115. The city was rebuilt and it's prosperity continued.
What remains today to see
There's still a lot standing here today considering how long it's been since it was settled and how many earthquakes the area has experienced throughout those centuries. The structures that still standing tall today where mostly built-in the 6th century A.D. This was after the Byzantines again took back the city from the Persians after a failed attempt of Justinian the Great's try to regain Western regions the empire had lost. The battles between the Romans, Persians and Arabs left the city buried to the ground in 628 AD. The Byzantines only occupied it for 6 years prior to then. The city was taken back after a many bold military campaigns led by Heraclius in his bid to successfully drive the Persians out of Asia Minor. The Arabs came along eight years later and defeated the Romans in the Battle of Yarmouk. Heraclius didn't count on the Muslim Arabs pushing him and his brother Theodore out after this final bloody in 636. The Byzantines were pretty much done for after this bloody battle. The tug of war had finally ended, the Persians won but the city never again regained its grandeur it had once enjoyed under the Byzantines.
One of the many lizards who still call Apamea home
What a visitor sees in Apamea today is a small traces of a once great city mostly dominated by the Byzantines. Two major earthquakes struck back in 1157 and 1170 A.D. and have left the city to the ruin it is today. The city now consists of smaller and more crumbled structures as well as many tall and noble fluted columns, frescoes inside the museum and entry ways along the main Cardo Maximus.
A visitor can easily imagine what Apamea once looked like because there are many structures still standing tall. There hasn't been any major building in the area so even though it's quiet there today you can still look across the valley and see why this beautiful place was always being fought over.
Orontes Valley Ancient Apamea Syria
How to get there and when to go
Easiest way to get to Apamea is by hiring a car from Hama and include some other sites like Al Basa and Sejilla and the Beehives. I suggest an early start not only because it takes some time to get from one to the next but they do close around sunset. This particular day was beautiful and clear and we started out with the beehives, moved on to the dead cities of Al Basa and Sejilla (we must made it before the one man security force decided to close around 3pm) and got here at Apamea around 5:00pm. A perfect time in June for pictures in terms of lighting and the fact that we pretty much had it to ourselves.
Need a break from the long winter..why not go to Tulum?

El Tramway Histórico de Buenos Aires es la denominación de un museo viviente de tranvías, el cual brinda paseos con fines turísticos e históricos en el Barrio de Caballito, en la Ciudad de Buenos Aires. Este emprendimiento fue inaugurado el 15 de noviembre de 1980 por la Asociación Amigos del Tranvía. Los tranvías recorren un trayecto de 2 km, partiendo desde la esquina de Emilio Mitre y José Bonifacio. La colección del Museo está conformada por material rodante que ha sido localizado, adquirido y restaurado por la AAT, preservando el mismo esquema (inclusive los carteles) que lucía cuando estaban operativos. El servicio es gratuito y opera los fines de semana y feriados.

Historia

Si bien desde su fundación el 16 de julio de 1976, la Asociación Amigos del Tranvía había previsto la creación de un servicio tranviario histórico-turístico que aprovechase el tendido en "loop" cerrado que Subterráneos de Buenos Aires utilizaba en el barrio de Caballito para el movimiento entre la rampa de acceso al túnel de la línea "A" y el Taller "Polvorín", el proyecto se pudo materializar recién en 1980, cuando la Entidad logró adquirir un tranvía originario de Oporto, Portugal. El servicio de aquella ciudad se prestaba con vehículos "Brill" de 28 y 32 asientos, estos últimos idénticos a los de la Compañía Lacroze de Buenos Aires, la cual también los había adquirido a la casa J.G. Brill de Philadelphia a partir de 1907 y que circularon por Buenos Aires entre 1907 y 1939.

Entonces, la AAT concretó a comienzos de julio de 1980 la adquisición del coche Nro. 258 de aquella ciudad lusitana, y una vez arribado a Buenos Aires a comienzos de agosto de 1980, fue reformado lo necesario como para reproducir fielmente el esquema de pintura y otros detalles particulares de los Lacroze porteños. De esta manera, y una vez finalizados dichos trabajos, la Línea Histórica comenzó a funcionar el 15 de noviembre de 1980.

En abril de 1982 se adquiere otro tranvía de Oporto, el Nro. 252 (también otro modelo Brill 32), esta vez para obtener una réplica de la serie "belga" (600 al 799) de la Compañía Anglo Argentina de Tramways Ltda. Fue entonces restaurado y renumerado, pasando a ser el 652, e inaugurado el 26 de noviembre de 1983. Ese mismo año ayudan a Subtes de Buenos Aires en la restauración del coche Nro. 3 de la Línea A, uno de los 4 UEC de Preston, Inglaterra, que integraban la flota de dicha línea.

Hacia 1987 es donado por las autoridades de transporte de Bruselas el denominado coche 9069, el cual es restaurado manteniendo el esquema original comenzando a operar al año siguiente.

El año 1989 supone una sorpresa y un desafío; la AAT logra localizar la carcasa abandonada del Coche 3361, construido en 1958 por Fabricaciones Militares. La particularidad del mismo radica en el hecho de ser el último modelo en circular por Buenos Aires. Comienza un intensivo trabajo de restauración completa del vehículo.

A comienzos de 2001, Subtes de Buenos Aires cede a la AAT los coches Ns. 2 y 3 "Preston"; ese último era el que había sido restaurado en 1983.

En noviembre de 2000 se pone en funcionamiento al Coche 3361. Un año después, el 14 de noviembre de 2001, Subterráneos de Buenos Aires cede las denominadas Zorra 2000 y Zorra 5, dos vehículos utilizados originalmente en el mantenimiento de la red tranviaria. Días antes, el Coche 652 había sido utilizado en el rodaje de la película La fuga.

Subterráneos de Buenos Aires dona, en julio de 2002, dos coches que habían formado parte de la inauguración de la Línea B en 1930.

En 2004 son localizados los restos del PM2 Lagarto, que había sido parte de la primera flota del Premetro de Buenos Aires. El 19 de abril de 2004 fue llevado a Polvorín, y tras un titánico trabajo de restauración y remotorización, se lo inauguró en medio del festejo de los 30 años de la Asociación, el 16 de julio de 2006.

Hacia finales de 2006 se adquiere la carrocería del Coche 4 de la Línea A, otro UEC, que había sido radiado en 1976 y vendido a un particular. En noviembre de ese año fue llevado a Polvorín donde se encuentra a reguardo y al aguardo de poder iniciar su restauración.

Durante los festejos del Bicentenario de Argentina, los coches UEC 2 y 3 de la Línea A fueron trasladados hasta la estación Primera Junta ehxibiéndose allí el 25 de mayo de 2010. Ese mismo año, el Tramway Histórico recibe la distinción de ser uno de los 12 hitos en el quehacer tranviario mundial durante los últimos 30 años, otorgado por la Light Rail Transit Ass.(UK) a través de su revista Tramways & Urban Transit.

The permanent F2P & Membership Bonds poll is currently underway with over 25,000 votes so far.The update is passing by 85%. If you have not yet voted, be sure to head over to the poll home or an in-game poll booth and vote.
At the moment it seems that permanent F2P & Membership Bonds will be passing when the poll closes on Wednesday 4th February.
If F2P & Membership Bonds pass then we will be releasing permanent F2P on Old School's 2nd birthday, Thursday 19th February.
Membership Bonds would come slightly later than F2P. We will be looking to release them at some point after Sunday 1st March.
Providing it passes, we will need some time to implement tweaks to the game to prevent gold farmers being an issue. We wanted to get this information out there as soon as possible so those of you who are excited for F2P will not be expecting it to be released immediately following the poll.
Come next Wednesday we will confirm what we have planned after the outcome of the poll is finalised.

September 14, 2010 , Auburn Hills, Mich. – The reborn and reimagined Fiat 500 is arriving soon to America. Born in Italy, perfectly tailored for America, the Cinquecento is as vibrant and engaging as it is fit and nimble. The Sport model, featured in these images, illustrates Fiat's smart and stylish design aesthetic. Like the original Fiat 500 a half-century ago, the new Cinquecento continues its timeless value while embracing individual expression and opportunity – all infused with world-class craftsmanship.
Completing this athletic vehicle's appearance are Performance Red painted brake calipers, a chromed exhaust tip and gloss black shadow-line window trim. The Fiat 500 Sport also features an available SkyDome power sun roof for an ultra-open view of the world. The Fiat 500 will be also available in the Pop and Lounge models with unique exterior cues and different equipment options.
The world-class 1.4-liter engine with Fiat's state-of-the-art MultiAir™ technology powers the Fiat 500 Sport. MultiAir significantly reduces emissions while improving fuel economy and power delivery by up to 10 percent when compared to similar engines.
The Fiat 500′s technology, driving dynamics and interior features have been intelligently adapted for the North American market, and it will offer small-car buyers a stylish, high-value alternative. The all-new Fiat 500 will be available for ordering later this year in the Sport, Pop and Lounge models, followed by the all-new Fiat 500C (cabrio) in the spring of 2011.
