If you hear a faint noise in the distance that sounds like a warning siren announcing some impending doom, it may just be some marketers and businesses reacting to the most recent Facebook Algorithm announcement.
Many are panicking at the thought of Facebook's News Feed being limited to posts from family and friends and excluding those from pages and brands.
But statistics show that social media users want their platforms to be just that – social.
In a guest blog post on marketing titan Jay Baer's Convince & Convert, Carrie Jones cited research showing that 66 percent of online brand communities define themselves as relationship-building places and 85 percent of marketers believe these kinds of communities improve the customer journey and build trust.
Social media is truly getting social.
Those words are even more powerful when you sit back and realize that you can share your thoughts and feelings with millions of people around the world with just the simple click of a button. I felt the impact of social media from the first moment I was a part of it more than a decade ago.
In fact, I am writing this here today because of the power of Facebook connecting me with the incomparable Shonali Burke and her warm and welcoming Social PR Posse, Virtuoso and Pioneer Facebook groups.
Make the customer the center of your community.
It's not a marketing secret that social media is not meant to be a one-way communication street where marketers only blast their promotional content at their customers. But the new Facebook algorithm will make it imperative for marketers to focus on their customers with each piece of content they produce and encourage continuing conversation and massive amounts of interaction.
Encourage comments and conversation – Make content that invites interaction. Ask your audience questions to spark comments and conversations or provide enough value that makes them want to share your content with their friends.
Listen first, write second – Establish listening channels so that you can use the feedback you receive from your audience to shape your content into what will be useful for them. Customers like to feel that their thoughts matter in your marketing strategy.
Be real – Authenticity and transparency is crucial in today's marketing world. Customers genuinely want to connect with brands that they know and trust, so be honest with your target audience.
In a blog on her Marketing Media Maven website, digital marketing expert Christina Garnett provides a list of questions for marketers to ask themselves as they try to determine where to go from here. This comprehensive list of questions is a really great place for marketers to start in developing a more community-building content strategy.
Once you have your answers in place to those key questions, you can start implementing some of the social media platforms' best community-building features.
Facebook Groups are an excellent place to encourage interaction and gather feedback and data from your audience. Customers can ask questions and address concerns in a safe and comfortable setting. Many businesses use them as an online community for loyalty program customers.
Twitter lists are a convenient way to organize your most engaging customers and keep track of what is being said about your brand on the platform. It's easy to create lists and develop ones for each stage of the buyer journey through your marketing funnel.
Hashtags are still an effective way to track conversations on Twitter but Instagram has stepped up the game by allowing you to follow a hashtag. Although you can search a hashtag on Twitter, being able to follow one on Instagram gives you a solid way to keep track of your company's standing in the online community.
Use this latest update to the Facebook algorithm to challenge yourself and your organization to become truly social in your social media marketing efforts. Embrace the power of building a brand community behind your business based on knowledge and trust.

"A standard-issue sports film, that's well-produced and well-acted and made the old-fashioned Hollywood way with flare, heroics and cynicism."
A standard-issue sports film, that's well-produced and well-acted and made the old-fashioned Hollywood way with flare, heroics and cynicism. The true story is about the improbability of a business deal by Ford with people they do not like to make an American racing car for the nonstop 24 Hours of Le Mans in France in 1966. It's a soulless drama that's passionately directed by James Mangold ("Logan"/"The Last King of Scotland"). It takes shots at the ineptitude and darkness of the corporate world, and is co-written with a broad humor by Mangold, Jason Keller, John-Henry Butterworth and his brother playwright Jez Butterworth. It's based on the true story of the visionary Texas-born retired racing driver and car designer Carroll Shelby (Matt Damon) teaming up with the fearless, gifted and outspoken, British-born WWII veteran, racing driver Ken Miles (Christian Bale) to win the Le Mans of 1966. This was the first-time the Americans beat the Europeans.
The L.A. residing aging racing driver Miles and his well-traveled partner Shelby, whose place of residence is never disclosed, find a need to partner if any future Le Mans races are in the cards for them.
When Ford car sales slumped in the 1960s, the egotistical Henry Ford II (Tracy Letts), the head of the Ford Motor Company, looked for new ways to sell his cars. Buying into what his pioneering marketing head Lee Iacocca (Jon Bernthal) said about the manufacturing of winning racing cars being the way to go to get respected by the public, Ford allowed Lee to contact Shelby about possibly designing such a car–he was the only American to win in Le Mans, though with a European car, the Aston Martin (but who suddenly retires from racing after his 1959 victory, hiding a serious heart condition). But things get off to a slow start between Ford and Shelby.
Things change when Ford is insulted by the noble but smug Italian Enzo Ferrari (Remo Girone), the highly respected small artistic car manufacturer, who rejected the corporate giant Ford's brazen power-grab business offer by calling him out as an Ugly American who makes 'ugly little cars in ugly factories.' The humorless, arrogant and bloated Ford responds by immediately hiring his own team, headed by Shelby, to build the fastest racing car money can buy, the revolutionary race car— the GT40. It can handle the rough roads of Le Mans and is faster than the classy Ferrari. The problem was who would drive it. It was on Shelby's insistence that the volatile, obstinate, loose cannon Ken Miles be brought on as driver because he knew the car best. But he was met with objections from Ford and his devious oily top-executive Leo Beebe (Josh Lucas) because they felt Miles was not a Ford type and not a team player. Beebe hated both Shelby and Miles, but especially Miles because he could not be bought and was determined to do things his way. The gist of the film away from the track is filled with Shelby fighting to get his man, saying over and over that if you want to win at Le Mans he gives you the best chance. He will eventually win that argument.
The characters played by Damon and Bale are both portrayed with a folksy charm as thinking action men. Damon's character is of the laid-back good-guy type, sporting chic Ray-Bans and tengallon hats and able to deal in a reasonable way with the Ford power-structure by fighting with them on terms they understand. Bale's character is played with a chip on his shoulder that shows him as an uncompromising risk taker. As their friendship grows over the course of time, they both realize they're exceptional talents who could never respect themselves if they would get trapped into living an easy but empty life of conforming like they see from all the stuffy Ford executives they encounter who lick the boots of Ford II.
This is a conventional film, which compares well with Hawks's Red Line 7000 when it comes to its racing footage. In the end, Shelby wins at Le Mans with his driver. But the meddling corporate types pull a fast one and when Miles crosses the finish line by slowing down as ordered, the dynamic duo despite their sweet victory get taken for a ride by the trickery of the repugnant Ford executives. For me, at least, this was the only time in the story I recall when the Bale character ceases from annoyingly saying from behind the wheel "Giddy-ap!"
Miles's loyal wife (Caitriona Balfe) and fawning teenage son (Noah Jupe) have thankless roles where they're required to admiringly look up to their man and pretty much go along with his impulsive mood swings, which might make them nice folks but made for dull viewing. But fortunately, there are plenty of exciting racing scenes on the excellently designed recreated tracks (rebuilding tracks no longer in existence could have been the film's greatest achievement). Also its breezy style of shooting made it an easy watch, along with the time-filling scenes of highly emotional human dynamics fueling the interactions of the characters (characters who were never fully developed and hardly seemed real, but who kept the engine humming with their banter from start to finish).

Dying cabby continues working for six years to support family. He finally gets liver transplant but dies four days later
Melanie Heng
Six years ago, doctors gave him three months to live after diagnosing him with liver cirrhosis, scarring of the liver.
Despite his illness, he continued working as a taxi driver, pulling 12-hour shifts daily to support his family.
Mr Tan Chon Siang, 49, outlived his doctors' predictions.
He even thought he had a solution to save his life when doctors from the National University Hospital (NUH) called to say they found a match for him to undergo a liver transplant.
Hopes of being able to continue providing for his family and see his only child, Elvis, 24, graduate from Kaplan in April, were raised.
But in a cruel twist of fate, Mr Tan (below) died last Tuesday, four days after his eight-hour long operation.

"It was so sudden," said Mr Tan's older brother, Mr Tan Chon High, 50.
The hawker assistant said: "On the first day after the operation, my brother's condition was very good. He could talk and wave.
"I even thought he could be out of the Intensive Care Unit in three to four days."
On the third day, doctors told Mr Tan that his brother was not responding well to the new liver and his kidneys were starting to fail.
He had dialysis eight times a day.
Mr Tan Chon High said: "On Monday morning, Chon Siang could still speak, but very softly.
Then, he slipped into a coma and on Tuesday morning, he died."
Mr Tan said they do not know the cause of death, but it could have been an infection.
"Chon Siang wanted to earn money to pay Elvis' university fees," said Mr Tan.
"Even though he earned only $30 to $40 a day because of his sickness, he would never spend a single cent on himself."
Mr Tan's friend from their army days, Mr Jack Choo, told The New Paper: "He was very happy when he told me he received the call from the hospital after waiting six years."
Mr Choo, who is also a taxi driver, said: "We ate lunch together from Monday to Friday and our friends and I could see his body weakening, but Ah Nok (Mr Tan's nickname) never once complained about pain."
Mr Choo said Mr Tan had to work shorter hours due to his deteriorating health.
Mr Tan's death has left a big hole in his family's and friends' hearts.
Mr Choo recalled an incident when he got into an accident and sprained his neck and Mr Tan helped him.
"Ah Nok would always be a phone call away. He'd fetch me anywhere I wanted to go and never say no," he said.
DOTING FATHER
Mr Choo said Ah Nok doted on his son. Ah Nok's wife works as a part-time promoter.
"Whenever his son called, he would be very happy and leave to fetch him from wherever he was," said Mr Choo.
Mr Tan said: "Until today, I cannot sleep well. Whenever I close my eyes, I start to feel pain and sadness. It'll take some time to get over his death."
Mr Choo said: "We'll miss him and we still think about him.
"Now, it'll be quieter during lunch because there's one less person at the table."
On the first day after the operation, my brother's condition was very good. He could talk and wave. I even thought he could be out of the Intensive Care Unit in three to four days.

Once on the fringe, about 750,000 off the grid American households pioneer green living by tapping sustainable energy from the wind, sun, and earth. Green living: Bill and Paula Cirone have sacrificed no modern comfort in their new wind- and solar-powered home, which is completely off the grid and powered with sustainable energy from wind turbines and solar panels. The off grid homes presence in Squamish remains a mystery until one accidentally bumps into a small community of cabins on a hike, or on a backcountry expedition into Garibaldi Park. Since 1998, Lisa Bjornson, general manager at Black Tusk Realty, has lived with her husband off the grid in the Ring Creek community.
Because Ring Creek is located directly on the back of the Diamond Head area of Garibaldi Provincial Park, the land is owned by the province. Instead of clear-cutting the space for their home, the Bjornsons selectively cut around it and fit the home into the space, even building their deck to accommodate a single tree. Lisa chose the Micro Hydro system, a system that thrives in places like coastal British Columbia, where creeks and other water resources are easily accessible. The micro hydro system works when a certain amount of water from the running stream creates pressure to spin a wheel. The home's logic centre (a bank where all sources of power connect, which all alternative homes have) then pulls DC power out of the batteries and converts it to alternating current (AC), which is present in the house.
Lisa's micro hydro system feeds off this stream for around 8 months of the year, as the other four bring either drought or ice. Fortunately, for the Bjornsons, a glacial stream runs straight through their property, making micro hydro power possible.
Often, properties don't have connections to commonly used technology like internet and cell phone reception. It's a neighbourhood where people drive around with chainsaws in their cars in case a tree falls down, she says. Buying the land and setting up the power systems are more expensive than moving in to a pre-constructed home on the grid. For Eric Carlberg and Sara Kuitunen, weathering through the rough patches of off-grid living brought them closer. Eric and Sara came to Squamish individually, but found each other through their obsession with the rock climbing and backcountry skiing. Taking full advantage of Squamish's rugged, outdoorsy side, the couple made the big move to a renovated train caboose deep in the woods of Paradise Valley. Though aesthetically pleasing, building codes and power shortages often intercepted the peaceful lifestyle. An antique wood burning stove was a prominent component of the caboose's rugged style, but the landlord could not insure the house with it, as it wasn't up to code.
In the video below, we meet Jeff, Rose, and their 5 girls who are living completely off grid on a 40-acre piece of land in Northern British Columbia, Canada. The house was so affordable to build because they didn't have to excavate or pour a concrete foundation, dig a well, or install a septic system. They have a backup generator but they only have to use it for about 40 hours per year during prolonged cloudy or snowy periods. All of the water the family uses is rainwater collected from their shop roof and stored in a tank under the shop floor to keep it cool. The grey water from their kitchen sink and shower drains into a shallow grey water field in the backyard. They have 2 composting bucket toilets and they sprinkle sawdust into the buckets after each use to absorb moisture and prevent smells.
We're very impressed with the clever solutions this family has come up with to make off-grid living seem so easy.

We considered a rocket stove, but we need a very large cooking surface for big pots and lots of them! Hi Jamie, Lil Girl Scout trick I learned is to coat the outside of your cookpots with dishsoap before using them over a wood fire. If you have no natural shade, why not create shade with a canopy over your prep area at least.
How much home canned goods does your family consume on average per week during the winter months?
Exploring nature and all of it can offer to a curious and adventurous mind, can take a toll on the stamina of even the most fit of persons. About usGoodshomedesign is an online home design magazine but do not sell the products reviewed or showcased on this site.
In an in-depth interview, Truck Camper Magazine writer Angela White talked with Jim DeLoziers, the driving force behind the ultimate Survivor Truck bug out vehicle.
A professional security consultant, DeLoziers "wanted a vehicle that could quickly evacuate his family in an emergency situation, and keep them safe and comfortable for weeks at a time, no matter what.
Her bathroom is outside on the hill and family ran water from a spring to her tub which she proudly showed me.
Hall, an outdoor-skills instructor, and his wife, Alicia Bliss Hall, a natural healer, live in a kind of off-the-grid neighborhood with another young couple: Jason Brake, a professional muralist, and his wife, Diana Styffeler, a mountain bike excursion leader. The only catch was that they needed to build some type of structure or dwelling on it within a year. Aven used a tree branch from right outside to make the dining table, and the drawers were made from a single piece of wood from the area. They built their own off-grid house for less than $25,000 with cedar posts sunk into the ground like a pole barn, log rafters, plywood, foam insulation, and a living roof.
The first solar system is just one solar panel that generates 12-Volt power for their lights, cell phones, and music player. You are right on the hot-hard-work but so worth it part– especially this winter when you open up those jars of summertime goodness and the family so enjoys every bite! All my canners purchased new came with a warning to never use them over open flame as they would warp and then be unuseable on a stove top. I'd love to build something I can cook on outside on and your set up looks interesting.
We learned and always taught our Boy Scouts to smear dish soap on the outside of a pot that you plan to cook over an open fire. So if you like to be close to the natural environment, we suggest taking a look at this impressively simple log cabin with a rustic design.
I do see however something that looks like an AC unit in the window and other things that might require electricity.
When he couldn't find a vehicle that satisfied his requirements on the market, he made one," reported White.
Their two cabins, nestled in temperate rain forest, are powered with electricity that comes exclusively from solar panels mounted on a wagon that they wheel around the property to catch the best rays. My dad build a stove, or whatever you would call it so that the fire was not open and we could work from the other side, not the fire making side, it made it much more bearable. Located in Spurger, Texas, the 384 square feet camp house is surrounded by forest trees and lots of beautiful wildlife. In all my 60 yrs I have never been so in awe as well as impressed with a person's independence and faith.
Using nature – the sun, wind, water, and the earth itself – they cheaply warm and cool their homes and power everything from a blender to a giant flat-screen TV to a raging hot tub.
We have been planning on trying pressure canning (we know e can water bath) over wood but haven't wanted to ruin a canner. With fishing facilities nearby, your short vacation can have all that it needs to be put in your favorite memories album.
Bless this sweet lady and may I learn and remember how to feel thankful and blessed as this sweet woman is. And with the constant concern about global warming and messy dependence on fossil fuels, it's natural that growing numbers of Americans – "the foot soldiers" of energy independence, as one expert calls them – would begin taking steps to untether themselves from the grid.
They're installing a hydropower system in the stream that will add to the solar power.Their existence appears quite rustic – and the "sustainable" lifestyle depends a whole lot on them to sustain it with such work as wood chopping and wagon pulling. But they say they have all the creature comforts they need, and – if February's record snowstorm is any gauge – some their neighbors need, too. It has electricity and is fitted with an air conditioning unit but it has no running water and the toilet is located in an outhouse. Hall.• • •Off-the-grid living for Paula and William Cirone has a more suburban look and feel, as well as a different motive. The cabin is still cozy for any inhabitants and also provides a covered porch and a fun fire pit in the 2 acres of unrestricted free space.
Their hearts were set on buying and building on woodland near Farmington that he had hunted and fished two decades before. But an issue over easements meant the utility company could not extend lines to connect to their new home. Cirone was initially nervous, not wanting to give up her comfortable lifestyle – being able to throw in a load of laundry, or flip on the TV or microwave, whenever she felt like it.
But the Cirones built a comfortable, spacious home powered entirely by wind and solar energy, with a geothermal system for heating and cooling."It was a little scary at first, wondering if this was all going to work," says Ms.
In an age of extreme economic insecurity plus concern about the effects of using fossil fuels – witness the BP oil spill and a host of recent coal-mining disasters – living off the grid gives people a feeling of structural, financial, and emotional independence.
It liberates them from the grip of government regulators and utility companies – not to mention reducing their utility costs, after the initial investment is paid off.
And it hints at the potential of a different energy future, free of the environmental and social costs of using fossil fuels.Mr.
Rosen estimates that the number of people living off the grid in the US is growing by about 10 percent per year. For others, going off the grid is an intentional part of "downscaling to a simpler existence," as Rosen puts it.Most clean-energy experts don't see off-grid living as the solution to the nation's energy crisis. Hall figures that once the hydropower system is finished on his property, he will have invested about $15,000 on energy systems.
Most North Carolinians spend several hundred dollars a month for electricity, water, and heat. So the Halls will have paid off their investment in a decade.Cirone says he doesn't expect to see a financial payoff anytime soon on his $100,000 investment in higher-end, higher-capacity systems, but the nonmonetary benefits are many. Their two sons, an electrical engineer and a doctoral student with an energy focus, are so enthused about the potential of off-the-grid living that they are launching a renewable-energy consulting company."There's a lot more return on investment than just money," Cirone says.
We hope this proves to anyone who even considers [going off the grid] that if you don't want to give up anything in your lifestyle, you can use alternative energy and still have all the amenities you want."• • •Solar energy is the most popular and fastest-growing way to generate your own power. Improving technology, a glut of solar panels on the world market caused, in part, by the end of European subsidies that had driven production, and American government incentives mean solar power is an increasingly affordable option. San Diego, like some other cities, has started a program to lend money to home-owners for the purchase of solar panels, with loan payments added to the property tax over 20 years.Though the Southwest and South are solar hot spots, studies show it is a viable option in seemingly gloomy locales like the upper Midwest and the Northeast. Homes typically use "small wind" power – with turbines that generate less than 10 kilowatts. But "small wind" is not a new concept – wind power has been harnessed for hundreds, if not thousands of years, for such things as transportation, milling, and pumping water. The "small wind" market grew 15 percent in 2009 despite the recession, says Ron Stimmel, small systems manager for the American Wind Energy Association.
The five-kilowatt turbines needed to power an average home range from 30 to 140 feet tall and cost about $30,000. Turbines that produce less than one kilowatt – to supplement solar panels or electricity from the grid – can cost less than $10,000.Wind turbines aren't as easily suited to a wide range of buildings and geographic locations as solar panels, because they usually require up to an acre of space, unobstructed by tall buildings, hillsides, or trees.
Wind turbines can be mounted on roofs or parapets – as in the Bronx apartment complex featured on page 29 – but only if the structure is strong enough. Zoning restrictions can make it difficult to install wind turbines, so proponents are pushing for wind-friendly codes.And generating one's own electricity isn't the only way to bypass or reduce dependence on commercial utilities.
In many homes, a large amount of electricity is used to run air conditioners, and electricity, natural gas, or oil is used for heating. The simplest way is through architecture that naturally keeps the home at a stable temperature, as John Sagebiel's home near Reno, Nev., featured on page 30, demonstrates. Windows are placed to maximize sunshine exposure when desired, and thick concrete floors and walls hold heat. Recently developed "smart" windows and drywall even react to the temperature outside by keeping heat out or drawing heat in.Geothermal energy is a high-tech, relatively expensive way to heat and cool a home. But for individual homes, geothermal cooling and heating systems pump water through underground pipes that heat or cool the water to the constant temperature of approximately 55 degrees F. There are different models, but all essentially rely on fluid circulated through tubing that can be installed up to about 200 feet deep vertically, or horizontally about 10 feet deep and roughly as wide as the property. In winter, the fluid is warmed below the earth, then heats air using a compressor and standard technology known as the refrigeration cycle.
In summer, the cycle is reversed so heat is essentially extracted from the home and sunk back into the earth.In relatively soft or sandy soil, pipes for a geothermal system can be run horizontally or in a variety of loops.
On top of hard bedrock, one must drill down – a more expensive proposition – to create a "standing column" system where fluid is circulated through a vertical cylinder with a "riser pipe" in the middle. As it has become more economically practical, geothermal systems also have gained "cachet" as a status symbol, says Andrew Collins of the New York City firm P.A. The firm has designed geothermal systems at the new Liberty Island Retail Pavilion and for upscale homes in Tribeca, the Upper East Side, and on Long Island.Meanwhile, on or off the grid, experts say the cleanest, cheapest energy is the energy not generated at all. Weatherizing a home is the best thing for the environment and the wallet."It's great to have geothermal or photovoltaic [solar], but we like to stress you don't need those technologies to have a real energy-efficient home," says Nate Kredich of the US Green Building Council.

Since the day I became a mom, all I want is to raise children well by taking careful measures to ensure they grow up healthy, strong, smart, kind-hearted and have a personal relationship with God. Fast forward to 14 years since I brought my first child into this world, I still have the same prayer in raising my children.
Being a working mom for more than a decade and now a more hands-on mom than ever, let me share that motherhood for me is beautiful but challenging. One of the challenges is to continually look for healthy alternatives in this world of all instant! You get what I mean? With the existence of instant meals, canned goods, packed noodles, and even fast foods, finding a healthy breakfast or snack for them could be a struggle.
But if you're like me who likes researching and experimenting on foods that could both be healthy yet fun and delicious to eat to ensure kids will like them, then you'd agree when I say that there are many available in the market. I've recently discovered a healthy and yummy recipe using yogurt.
And this isn't just any yogurt, it has the Real California Milk Seal! Why is this seal so important to me? It's because with this seal, I am assured that I am getting a top quality brand compared to the many dairy products that are available in stores right now. It also means the product is certified as having been made with 100% Real California Milk from Real California Dairy families. I feel that I cannot short change my children's nutrition so I look for this seal.
What makes yogurt healthy for you and your kids? It's a mixture of milk fermented by bacterial cultures that produce lactic acid. It contains the same nutrients as milk but it still depends on the type and even brand of yogurt (kaya look for the seal!). A cup has many essential nutrients like protein, calcium and phosphorous to help build and maintain strong bones and teeth. It also has Zinc which boosts the immune system. Riboflavin and panthothenic acid also help the body with metabolism. Yogurt also has vitamin B12 to keep the nervous system healthy and blood functions normal.
For us adults, did you know that yogurt is recommended for weight loss and weight management? So for moms who like to go to #BalikAlindogProgram, yogurt is one of your healthy but yummy alternative.
The U.S. National Dairy Council reports that dairy foods such as milk, cheese and yogurt are foundational foods in healthy eating patterns that contribute important shortfall nutrients, including calcium, vitamin D and potassium. Healthy eating patterns are associated with reduced risk of several chronic diseases including cardio vascular disease and type 2 diabetes.
Here's more, the potassium in yogurt also helps regulate the balance of water and other nutrients, lowering your chances of having high blood pressure. A recent study in the American Journal of Hypertension found that eating two cups of yogurt a week lowered the risk associated with cardiovascular disease.
milk. Its active cultures help the body digest lactose, which is a naturally occurring sugar in milk that not everyone can digest.
There are so many ways to enjoy yogurt than just having it plain and like my yogurt breakfast bowl, kids could enjoy it anytime as well. Yogurt can also be a base of a veggie or even chips dip or as a substitute for oil and mayonnaise as well.
We all know how healthy drinking milk and other dairy products such as cheese, butter, yogurt and ice cream are right? I cannot stress how this will really help us and especially our kids to have stronger bones and teeth and even help prevent common illnesses! So the next time you buy any dairy products from the grocery, make sure that you look for the Real California Milk seal! This assures you that you're getting dairy products made exclusively from nutrient-rich, high quality 100% California milk. California is US' leading producer of milk, ice cream, butter, nonfat dry milk and whey protein concentrate and is the second largest producer of cheese and yogurt. The Golden State is America's leading milk producer with 1,300 dairy farms, 99% of which are family-owned. These California dairy farm families take precious care of their cows and their products.
Look for the seal momshies okay? You may purchase dairy products which has the Real California Milk or Cheese seal from groceries like Unimart, Robinsons Supermarket, Merkado and SM Hypermarket plus membership shopping giants S & R and Landers. They give you a wide range of dairy choices carrying the seal.

ACE® STUDY FINDS MINI-TRAMPOLINE WORKOUTS AS EFFECTIVE AS RUNNING, YET PERCEIVED AS EASIER AND MORE FUN
Posted: Oct 19, 2016 in ACE Press Releases
Research Validates Short and Long-Term Health Benefits of Trampoline Exercise Trend
SAN DIEGO, October 19, 2016— Ever since NASA research found trampoline workouts to be as effective as running for exercise in 1980, people around the world sprung into trampoline fitness programs, leading to a surge in mini-trampoline based exercise classes. However, recent studies have found conflicting evidence on the ability of trampolines to elicit an effective workout. American Council on Exercise (ACE), the world's largest health and fitness nonprofit certification organization, decided to let science have the final say with a peer-reviewed research study measuring how many calories a standard trampoline workout burns and what effect it has on cardiorespiratory endurance.
The ACE-sponsored study recruited 24 recreationally active and apparently healthy college students. Researchers at the University of Wisconsin – La Crosse measured the fitness levels of the participants—in the form of maximal heart rate and oxygen uptake—on a treadmill before the study began. Participants then completed a 19-minute full-body trampoline workout designed by JumpSport. Participants reported perceived levels of exertion every five minutes during the trampoline workout, while heart rate and oxygen uptake were collected every minute. Caloric expenditure was calculated from this data.
"This research found that mini-trampoline exercise enables a workout sufficient to improve endurance and expend calories," said American Council on Exercise Chief Science Officer Cedric X. Bryant, Ph.D. "We also saw that participants consistently thought the workout was easier than the measured heart rates and oxygen uptake levels, which should likely have a positive impact on long-term exercise adherence."
During the workout, men burned an average of 11.0 calories/minute, while women burned 8.3 calories/minute—a level of energy expenditure similar to running at a pace of six miles per hour on flat ground, biking at 14 miles per hour or playing American football, basketball or ultimate Frisbee. According to fitness industry guidelines, exercise intensities seen during this research approach moderate to vigorous intensity levels.
"When people perform other types of exercise within this intensity range, they usually report their perceived exertion as being significantly higher. This may be due in part to the fact that trampolines are a unique form of exercise and participants felt comfortable on them very quickly," says Bryant. "We must not undervalue the 'enjoyment factor'—it's the key to long-term fitness commitments and helping people sustain healthy life choices for the long term."

« To go Linux or stay with MS Windows?
Following on from last post I thought I'd add a new post to say I am now a linux (ubuntu) convert. I have given it a real go and so far I am very impressed with it giving my PC a new lease on life with far superior execution times and file handling.
As the title suggests I am 95% converted as I still need Windows for a few applications, although I am sure I will soon find replacements for them soon.
Adobe Premier and Encore -> not yet replaced… have an idea?

Kevin Spacey plays Bobby Darin in "Beyond the Sea."
(CNN) -- It would be easy to dismiss Kevin Spacey's new film "Beyond the Sea" as just a movie star's vanity project. After all, this two-time Oscar winner's often-expressed passion for bringing the life of singer Bobby Darin to the big screen is well documented.
But in this film he inhabits Darin to the point where you can't escape a feeling of awe for his performance -- and a deep respect for his commitment to telling the story of this remarkably talented performer.
Spacey, who's 45, has been criticized as too old to play Darin, who died at age 37 in 1973 after emergency heart surgery. And quite frankly, at times the age difference is very apparent. But ultimately you just have to let that go and bask in the sheer joy Spacey brings to the screen while performing many of Darin's greatest hits.
Spacey not only stars in "Beyond the Sea," but he also wrote, produced and directed the movie. Therefore he was able to structure the story in a way that helps a great deal in getting past the age problem.
The film's conceit is that Darin is making a movie about his life. This movie within the movie allows us to meet him towards the end of that life as he looks back in time. In his film debut, 11-year-old William Ullrich plays Darin as a boy. Spacey -- as Darin -- interacts with the boy on the set of this imaginary movie and singer's story unfolds.
Darin began life as Walden Robert Cassotto, raised in a blue-collar neighborhood in the Bronx. At the age of 7 he suffered a severe bout of rheumatic fever that left his heart badly damaged. He wasn't expected to live past the age of 15.
He's pampered by his family: mother Polly (Brenda Blethyn), older sister Nina (Caroline Aaron) and Nina's husband Charlie (Bob Hoskins). Polly, a former singer, infuses the young boy with a love of music and performing. His passion for singing takes over his life. It probably helped prolong it, too.
In his short 15-year career -- Darin had his first hit, "Splish Splash," when he was 22 -- he won numerous Grammy Awards, was nominated for a best supporting actor Oscar and married one of the biggest stars of the era, Sandra Dee (portrayed by Kate Bosworth).
As Dee, Bosworth gives a dead-on performance, aging from a 16-year-old ing�nue into a 27-year-old woman who has seen and experienced things way beyond her years.
Interspersed throughout the film are many of Darin's greatest hits, including "Splish Splash," "Mack the Knife" and the title song.
The film shows all facets of Darin's explosive talents. There are some wonderful, full-blown dance numbers choreographed by Rob Ashford, who won a Tony in 2002 for his work on "Thoroughly Modern Millie." The music was handled by Grammy-winning producer Phil Ramone.
His talents were enough to win over Darin's son Dodd and former manager Steve Blauner (who's in the film, played by John Goodman). Indeed, they were so convinced of Spacey's talents they actually provided Ramone with Darin's original arrangements.
Spacey doesn't shy away from the dysfunctional areas of Darin's life. The singer struggled with depression, marital problems and career ups and downs as styles changed around him. His family also has a secret, one that Darin didn't learn until mid-career. Along the way we also witness his incredible bravery in the face of a major illness and his refusal to be categorized.
"Beyond the Sea" is Spacey's show, but it's also a solid group effort. Goodman, Blethyn, Hoskins and Aaron surround the lead with terrific performances. And even though this is young Ullrich's first film, he has been singing and dancing on Broadway in numerous musicals for the last four years and his expertise is evident.
Many people under 40 may not even remember Bobby Darin, let alone know about his remarkable life story. "Beyond the Sea" may rectify that problem and stand as a wonderful tribute to an amazing talent who left us all too soon.

Today the historical aviation movement in the UK had the sad duty of laying to rest one its most devoted and loyal supporters, after a lifetimes commitment to the cause.
Growing up as a schoolboy in the heart of rural Suffolk during the war years, Cliff Bishop was one of six children and along with his younger brother Stan, they were raised in the locality in and around where I now live today. Cliff's father worked on a number of different farms in the region and as a result, the family lived in tied farm cottages that came with the job. During 1943/1944 they lived in the middle of three USAAF heavy bomber bases at Mendlesham, Horham and Eye and by 1945 they had moved to Monewden, close to the USAAF base at Debach. The incredible sight and sound of the American daylight bombing campaign unfolding from the local countryside was to have a significant and profound effect on the Bishop boys.
Cliff would often recall in the spring of 1945 when catching the school bus in the morning, the bus often being very late arriving at school. This would be caused by aircraft of the 493rd Bomb Group based at Debach. If the mission take-off timing coincided around the same time that the school bus was heading along the Ipswich Road, the traffic would be halted by Military Police whilst the entire Groups aircraft would take-off, fully laden with maximum bomb and fuel loads. The mighty bombers would require every inch of the main runway to get airborne and the aircraft would literally lumber into the air, skimming the main road that ran across the Northern end of the airfield. Cliff and Stan would watch from the window of the school bus with delight as bomber after bomber took to the East Anglian skies one after the other. Being just 12 years old, Cliff had little idea of the incredible dangers that each take-off entailed - To the school children is was just 'excitement' with the added bonus of missing the start of school! But further demonstrating the toll the Second World War would ultimately take upon the average British family, when the guns finally fell silent, Cliff and Stan would never see they're eldest brother again. He had lost his life in 1942 whilst serving his country in the British Army's Royal Artillery, engaged in the bitter fighting in Singapore against the Japanese. His name is inscribed on the village War Memorial in Monewden Church today.
Prior to moving to Monewden the family lived in Occold near Eye and everyday, Stan & Cliff would cycle to school in Eye and back home again in the afternoon, in all weather conditions. This was the only means of transport and at weekends, they would cycle the length and breadth of the county in persuit of aircraft spotting and visiting the many American and RAF bases in the region, including RAF Woodbridge, RAF Wattisham, Bury St Edmunds and Thorpe Abbotts - All on bicycle! An aircraft crash in the locality was seen as an opportunity of great excitement, and no sooner had the pall of smoke risen into the sky on the horizon, they would take-off on they're bicycles to investigate the scene. The carnage and devastation witness upon arrival at some of these crash sites giving ample testimony to the very different world of health & safety that we live in today.
With Cliff passion for aircraft is was no surprise that after the war he went into the RAF and also chose to work in and around aviation in his post-military career. Whilst in the RAF, he racked-up over 100 hours flying-time in B-29 Superfortress's (The RAF called it the Washington) and these were the mighty four engines bombers that dropped the Atom Bomb on Japan that ended WWII. In later years, Cliff would subsequently become one of the foremost historians on USAAF Operations from the UK, writing outstanding books and articles on the subject. In 1982 (34 years ago), Cliff founded 'East Anglia Books,' where he specialised in the sale and promotion of hundreds of titles on the subject, whilst also dedicating hours of voluntary time to assisting in the set-up of a new aviation museum in Cambridgeshire at an almost unheard of WWII Aerodrome called Duxford. Cliff went to Europe where he assisted in dismantling and shipping various aircraft back to the UK for exhibit at this new museum. Today the Imperial War Museum at Duxford sits beside the M11 Motorway and is one of the very best aviation museums in the entire world. Back then, there was no Motorway and the fledgling museum started from very humble beginnings, but Cliff was one of the instrumental movers and shakers in getting it off the ground. In addition, he also volunteered his services to a new organisation based at Duxford called 'B-17 Preservation.' They were trying to get a WWII American B-17 Bomber into show condition and Cliff's specialist knowledge was put to good use. The well-known Duxford based 'Sally B' is now the only operational and airworthy B-17 Flying Fortress outside the USA and still continues to fly to this day.
For many many years, Cliff could always be found at Airshows and WWII Airfield events across the region with his 'East Anglia Books' trade stand and always extended a warm welcome to anyone interest in the subject, regardless of whether they were looking to purchase anything or not; their company was what Cliff genuinely treasured. Cliff's daughter told me today that she still firmly intends to keep the family Business going, albeit from another premises.
....We visited the farm cottages where they all lived as children in the war and also visited the many aircraft crash sites in the locality that the boys discovered. As we were driving along the B1113 between Occold and Eye, the road starts to climb to its highest point, just before it starts to descend into Eye town. From the back seat Cliff tapped me on the shoulder and said, "Can you pull over just at the top here, where we can look across the valley?" It's a fast stretch of road, but the big Dodge had no trouble mounting the verge and climbing the bank, well off of the road and into the stubble field. In a scene reminiscent of George C Scott's portrail of General Patton in the Academy Award winning film of the same name, Cliff stood up in the back of the General's open-top Command Car, turned to his brother Stan and surveyed the landscape with a look of contemplation and said "Do you remember the view from this exact spot Stan?" It transpired that this was the route that the boys cycled to school every morning and it was from atop of this hill overlooking the town of Eye just before school time, that the brothers regularly remembered the vast formations of Fighter aircraft screaming over the tops of their heads at low level and heading off to rendezvous with the Bombers Formation before they crossed the enemy coast. Ever since that day and every time I drive over that hilltop, I can also envisage the formations of Lightning's, Mustang's and Thunderbolt's in my minds eye, skimming the tree-tops and Church Tower and heading off to war; just the same as Cliff had so vividly described to me all those years ago.
Cliff was one of England's true gentlemen, an ambassador of the cause in every respect and an extremely well liked and respected historian. His funeral today at Harlow, Essex was, dare I say it, probably the most lovely funeral service I've ever attended, if indeed such a thing can be had. The words spoken by close friends and officials were heartfelt and entirely fitting and Glenn Miller's 'Moonlight Serenade' resounded throughout the building which afforded everyone the opportunity to pause and consider their own memories of Cliff Bishop. It was standing room only, such was the turn out to pay a final respect to a man who had touched so many people over the years.

I do not think we have ever met, but I first met your dad in the summer of 1977. I was in England doing research for my masters in history and met up with a number of interesting individuals interested in the Mighty Eighth, with your dad at the top of the list.
25 years ago my dad, then 76, passed away suddenly. Spoke with him on a Sunday evening and learned Wednesday morning around 5 in the morning that he had passed away in the middle of the night. My graduate advisor wrote to me about my feeling of loss and what I had missed doing with dad and that there was no longer any chance to say things I would have wanted to say. His words carried a great deal of weight then, and I have made them part of my mindset in facing each day.
I vividly recall your dad during that summer of '77 in England taking me to Thorpe Abbots to walk around the abandoned airfield. His knowledge of that base and the general layout and function of USAAF bases during the war was highly instructive. Walking around Thorpe Abbotts was almost like the civilianized Harvey Stoval going back to the 918th Bomb Group airfield in the beginning of 12 O'Clock High!
The weather was warm and the sky nearly free of clouds.
Before taking me back to the train station for my return to Bromley South (where I was staying with my friends grandparents), we stopped at Nuthampstead. We parked outside one of the old entrances and walked around a bit. When the sun set, a shiver went up my spin. Maybe it was the affect of the sun setting . . . maybe not. I suggested we ought to go so I do not miss the train. During the drive back I mentioned to your dad that I sensed that there were spirits at the base. Your dad said he had the same feelings and even though we did not talk any more about that experience, I still would what happened at Nuthampstead during that one twilight summer evening.
Your dad led a remarkable life in many ways. His passion for the Mighty Eighth and his contributions with his books and supporting as well as encouraging others, like myself to share information will be remembered affectionately by many. As I wrote about Roger Freeman's passing, your dad has gone to the other side of the clouds, and is missed and remembered by those who have had the fortune to know him well or even share just a few moments with him.
East Anglia Books was formed by Cliff Bishop and has now been trading for over 30 years. As a boy Cliff enjoyed watching the 8th Air Force operations around his home in Suffolk and from this, stemmed a lifelong interest in aviation history.
During those years in WWII, he was surrounded by airfields occupied by the 8th Air Force and used to spend his days watching formations of B-17's and B-24's heading off to war, some sadly, never to return. Later while serving in the RAF, he worked on the Washington, the RAF's name for the B-29 Superfortress. Following his RAF service he went on to train as a Design Engineer and spent many years in the Civil Aviation industry working on many different types of aircraft.

Cliff has spent many years researching the history of the 8th Air Force, involving trips overseas to Museums and Record Centres: His books "Fortresses of the Big Triangle First" and "Fortresses Over Nuthampstead" have proved very successful and he has also published many books on behalf of other Authors.

In 2014, he visited Normandy for the 70th Anniversary of D-Day and then to Krakow, Poland where he visited Auschwitz and in September, a memorable trip with his daughter Marilyn to Arnhem for the 70th Anniversary commemorations.
East Anglia Books has now grown to include an extensive stock of aviation and military related titles covering all aspects from WW1 to the present, in particular one of the largest stocks of USAAF Unit Histories, plus a wide range of second-hand titles, many now out-of-print and difficult to obtain. Some of our customers have been with us for over thirty years and have become firm friends. We strive to provide a friendly and knowledgeable service and hope to continue trading for many years to come.

To protect themselves against cyberattacks, organizations should focus more on training their employees and improving their internal processes instead of buying new technology, according to one tech vendor.
Yet, businesses and government agencies often focus on the next "silver bullet" product, unaware that most cybersecurity problems stem from flawed procedures and human error, said Art Gilliland, senior vice president and general manager for Hewlett-Packard's software enterprise security products.
Another mistake organizations make is spending a huge portion of their cybersecurity budgets on traditional perimeter defense products like firewalls and antivirus products, while short-changing tools to detect and stop attackers after they break into the systems, at which point "they pretty much own us," Gilliland added.
While organizations shouldn't ignore perimeter defense, they should also invest in systems that detect attackers inside networks and in encryption to protect important data, he said.
Cyberthreat information sharing is one of the few ways organizations can be "proactive" in dealing with cyberattacks, Gilliland said. The concern about consumer privacy may not be as big of an issue when the sharing is among government agencies as when there are private businesses involved. But there's still much work to do related to technology standards and automating the sharing of information, he said later in an interview.

/News / Kislak Completes $11.6 Million Multifamily Transactions in Essex County, N.J.
Kislak Completes $11.6 Million Multifamily Transactions in Essex County, N.J.
WOODBRIDGE, N.J. – The Kislak Company, Inc. announced the recent closing of three multifamily transactions with a total of 178 residential units and four retail spaces in Essex County, New Jersey for $11,600,000.
The separate transactions include the $6,500,000 sale of two buildings with 106 residential units at 64 and 70-94 Union Avenue in Irvington; the $1,100,000 sale of a building with 12 residential units and four retail spaces at 10101-1016 Clinton Avenue in Irvington; and the long term ground lease of Maple Valley Apartments, a 60-unit apartment complex at 744 Valley Street in Maplewood. The ground lease includes an upfront payment of $4,000,000 along with annual ground rent.
Vice president Scott Davidovic represented the seller in the Union Avenue sale and senior vice president Joni Sweetwood represented the purchaser. Davidovic represented the seller and purchaser in the Clinton Avenue sale. And Davidovic represented the lessor in the Maple Valley ground lease and sales associate Andrew Scheinerman represented the lessee.
All transactions followed the owners' engagement of Kislak on an exclusive basis.
"Essex County has proven to be a very stable rental market in New Jersey with consistent rent growth," said Davidovic. "Investor demand remains very strong and despite a modest uptick in interest rates, attractive financing is still available, which allows property owners to sell at low cap rates."
64 Union Avenue is a five-and-one-half-story brick elevator building with 46 units. 70-94 Union Avenue is a two-story, brick garden style building with 60 units. Features include on-site laundry rooms, garages and ample parking. Both buildings are centrally located near public transportation, the Garden State Parkway and Route 78.
"This sale presented an unusual opportunity for a buyer to acquire a large number of units in one location in Irvington," said Sweetwood. "The buyer understood the potential for adding value by improving the management of the properties. He assumed management prior to the sale, resolved several operational problems and raised rents. These properties are well-located near the Irvington bus station and adjacent to large medical office buildings that have recently been renovated. The area is bustling."
1010-1016 Clinton Avenue consists of 12 residential units and four retail spaces with 3,000 square feet. The property was recently gut renovated and is in excellent condition. Clinton Avenue is a main street in Irvington with abundant foot traffic and easy access to the Garden State Parkway.
Maple Valley Apartments is a 60-unit apartment complex. All units are one bedrooms and the property includes on-site parking and laundry facilities. The property is located immediately behind the Maplewood Community Center only minutes from Route 78 and The Mall at Short Hills.
"The long term ground lease will allow the lessee ample time to implement a value add strategy," said Scheinerman. "This will include upgrading units and reconfiguring layouts to maximize rents. This is our third transaction with the lessor and 15th transaction with the lessee. Both parties have confidence in Kislak's ability to see our deals through to closing, which will allow for more deals in the future."
Davidovic joined Kislak in 2006 and specializes in the sale of multifamily properties and land for development throughout northern New Jersey. After his first year with Kislak, he received the firm's Rookie of the Year award and was promoted to a vice president in 2013. In 2014, he received the firm's Sima Kislak Jelin Salesperson of the Year award.
Sweetwood joined Kislak in 1996 and is one of the firm's all-time leading salespeople. She has won numerous awards, including the Sima Kislak Jelin Salesperson of the Year award in 2010 and the firm's Producer of the Year award multiple times. She has also been recognized repeatedly as one of New Jersey's Commercial Broker All Stars and among the Mid-Atlantic Real Estate Journal's Executive Women in Business.
Scheinerman joined Kislak in 2011 and specializes in the sale of multifamily and other investment properties throughout northern New Jersey. After his first year with Kislak, Scheinerman also received the Rookie of the Year award.

Finance Department Newcomer Envisions Shifts in Financial Planning
Portfolios, mutual funds, annuities — our financial future hinges on decisions we make regarding where and how much of our hard-earned dollars are invested.
How people make those decisions is one area of research for David Nanigian, associate professor of finance, who joined Cal State Fullerton's Mihaylo College of Business and Economics this fall.
Nanigian, who has taught at The American College and Pennsylvania State University, has authored articles on investments and financial planning in such publications as the Journal of Wealth Management and Financial Services Review; traveled worldwide to present at conferences like the World Finance Conference; and serves as an associate editor and an editorial review board member for a number of financial publications.
The California native earned his bachelor's degree in business administration from San Diego State University, an MBA from UCI and a doctorate in personal financial planning from Texas Tech University.
What inspired you to go into your field? What was the defining moment?
During my first year as an MBA student, I became fascinated by the research projects of my professors, so I decided to pursue doctoral studies to become a finance professor. I, too, wanted to conduct research to help individuals make better investment decisions.
What are your research interests and why?
My research focuses on topics that advance the practice of personal financial planning. I'm currently working on multiple projects related to mutual fund performance persistence. I enjoy doing research on mutual funds because they are one of the most popular investment vehicles used by individual investors.
How do you engage students in your classes and/or research?
I'm a big fan of participant-centered learning through case studies. Another great way to engage students is through experiential learning. In the future, I hope to bring my students to financial planning conferences where they can network with leading practitioners and learn about the latest industry trends.
What changes do you envision in your field five years from now?
I predict that three major changes will occur in personal financial planning over the next five years.
First, I think that there will be a continued trend towards offering comprehensive financial planning advice, rather than advice that is primarily related to just one subject area, such as investments or insurance.
Second, spurred largely by the Department of Labor's "fiduciary rule," we will see a continued shift in financial adviser compensation away from commissions generated from products sold and toward fees charged for the advice itself.
Third, the cost of financial planning advice will decline as a result of both regulatory pressure and technological innovations.
What is one good tip for people to remember when it comes to finance?
There's no better time than now to make a personalized financial plan with the assistance of a certified financial planner.

This is a hand crafted, deep blue Thai ceramic vase, finished with an ocean blue glaze . Perfect as an accent piece in any room, or compliment its beauty by adding your favorite flower. This vase truly a work of art.


SAN FRANCISCO - Microsoft Corp. co-founder and billionaire Paul Allen is suing nearly a dozen major companies, including tech giants Google Inc. and Apple Inc., alleging they infringed on four Web technology patents held by his company Interval Licensing LLC.
Interval owns patents from Interval Research, which was a technology research and development company that Allen started with David Liddle in the early '90s.
Interval said that the patents it believes are being violated are key to how e-commerce and search companies work. The patents described in the suit refer to technology used for things such as Web browsing and sending alerts over the Web.
"This lawsuit is necessary to protect our investment in innovation," Allen's spokesman, David Postman, said in a statement.
Interval is seeking unspecified damages for the alleged infringements, and an order that the defendants either stop infringing on its patents or pay royalties for doing so.
Several companies named as defendants did not return requests for comment. Netflix, AOL, Yahoo and Office Depot had no comment.
Facebook spokesman Andrew Noyes called the suit "completely without merit," and eBay spokeswoman Johnna Hoff said the company is reviewing the suit.
Google said the suit "reflects an unfortunate trend of people trying to compete in the courtroom instead of the marketplace."
Gerry J. Elman, founder of Swarthmore, Pa.-based Elman Technology Law PC, said the suit looks like one "that has to be taken seriously and not just blown away as a nonstarter."
Still, the products and services offered by the companies named in the suit aren't immediately threatened. Patent cases can take months or years to resolve, and agreements over licensing and royalty payments often emerge.

Anish Kapoor's Descension is travelling to New York
Experience a swirling vortex in the middle of Brooklyn Bridge Park in New York

Mumbai-born, Britain-based artist Anish Kapoor's relentless whirlpool of black water spiraling into a dark void will make New-Yorkers question their perception of space this May. Descension is set to be installed at the Brooklyn Bridge Park to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the Public Art Fund, a non-profit organization with the mission to promote work of contemporary artists in public spaces. The installation was first unveiled at the Kochi-Muziris Biennale in 2014, has travelled through India to Italy and France, and is now being exhibited in North America for the very first time.
Force and power are trademarks of this piece as it churns, froths and finally descends into an ominous vortex of the unknowable. You can draw simple explanations from the installation's perpetual state of motion calling it meditative and introspective. Some have inferred from Anish Kapoor's infatuation of auto-generated forms and space, that it is another attempt at using ordinary materials in extraordinary ways. Others have found it introspective and reflective of the transient state of life and how we revolve around unfathomable epicentres. Its location next to the East River is bound to draw contradictions and add to the already varied interpretations of the work.
Descension is an imposing piece of art built in steel and prepared by pairing an all-natural black dye with a gyrating pool of water that is powered by a motor at the bottom.
Descension premieres on May 3 and will be in place through September 10 at Pier 1, Brooklyn Bridge Park, New York City.

Discover what a dedicated IP address is really and exactly why your site will likely need one at some point.
All devices on the Web are recognized by a specific number called an IP address, for instance 123.123.123.123. When you have a website, the domain name that you type to open it is to save you time, but the server where your site files are still has an IP address. Considering that there're many more sites and devices than there're IPs, all the shared hosting servers have a number of sites under an identical IP, whereas using a dedicated server you'll get a dedicated IP as well. Even in the first case though, you're able to obtain a dedicated IP for your sites and host them on a shared server. An advantage would be that you may enjoy superior search engine positions because a dedicated IP usually means a quicker loading site. Furthermore, you need such an IP in case you want to purchase an SSL certificate for your website and protect the info that your visitors submit on it.
In case you host your websites on our outstanding cloud platform and you have a cloud hosting plan, you are able to add a dedicated IP to your account at any time and assign it to any domain or subdomain with just a few clicks. This option is accessible in all the data centers where we provide services - Chicago (US), London (UK) and Sydney (AU), so whatever your choice during the registration process, you can obtain a dedicated IP for your sites. You'll be able to add or remove an IPas well as to keep track of the free and used ones at any moment. If any of the IPs that you obtain will be used for an SSL certificate, you may activate the automatic configuration attribute in our SSL order wizard and then our system will request and assign the IP before it installs the certificate automatically. Our versatile platform will allow you to use a dedicated IP address for multiple websites as well if it's not in use by an SSL.
