Create the perfect menu for your autumnal reception.
With the arrival of autumn, cuisine preferences undergo a transformation. Meals become heartier, flavor profiles take on a comforting appeal, and people crave the spicy-sweet ingredients of the season. If you're planning a fall wedding, follow these caterer-approved tips for a delicious and seasonal reception menu.
According to Steven Salazar, catering manager of Chef Penelope's Catering in Nashville, Tennessee, fall is all about mixing flavors. "Pairing sweet and savory is the name of the game when it comes to food for fall weddings," he says. "This is due to people's palates tapering off the fresh summer foods and transitioning into the heartier foods associated with winter." Since the appetizers should prepare your guests for the main meal, choose small bites that incorporate a seasonal flavor profile. Salazar suggests sticking with crowd favorites, like pimento cheese crisps topped with candied bacon, a tomato bisque shooter topped with a mini grilled cheese sandwich, or mushroom caps stuffed with sausage and cranberry.
When selecting your entrée, remember that guests will crave warm, comforting, stick-to-your-bones options. Try incorporating autumnal flavors, but avoid serving anything extremely heavy, as these options will leave guests feeling lethargic and full. Salazar suggests red meat or a saucy, cream-based chicken dish, as well as more creative options like salads with gorgonzola and green apples, seared pork topped with blackberry gastrique, and butternut squash risotto or pumpkin ravioli.
Take full advantage of the fall harvest when choosing side dishes for your reception. Salazar prefers to use the freshest ingredients. "Include sides full of roasted root vegetables, sweet potatoes, candied carrots, garlic herbed mashed potatoes, and green bean almondine," he advises.
The desire for hearty comfort food also translates into dessert, and people often crave spicy-sweet confections during the autumn months. Think about your favorite fall flavors—like pumpkin pie, apple cider, and cranberry sauce—and transform them into a crowd-pleasing dessert. According to Salazar, many couples serve pumpkin, apple, and pecan pies. Other popular options include spiced wine or cider, bread pudding, crème brulee, pumpkin cakes, warm fig tartlets, donuts, and spice-centric cakes.

Baldassare, Mark (2014), Special Survey of Orange County 2004, UC Irvine Dash, Dataset, https://doi.org/10.7280/D1MW2M
This survey of 1,008 adult residents includes questions from earlier Orange County Annual Surveys. It also includes key indicators from the PPIC Statewide Survey for comparisons with the state and regions of California. It also considers racial/ethnic, income, and political differences. The following issues are explored in this Orange County Survey: Orange County Issues, Housing Issues, and State and National Issues. Orange County Issues include such questions as: What are the trends over time in consumer confidence and the public's ratings of the quality of life and the economy in Orange County? Do residents recall the Orange County government bankruptcy in 1994, how do they perceive its impacts today, and have attitudes toward the county government recovered in the past 10 years? How satisfied are residents with their local public services and city governments? What are the most important issues facing the county and how do residents rate the problems in their regions? What are their perceptions of commuting and transportation plans and preferences for local transportation taxes? Housing Issues include such questions as: How satisfied are residents with their homes and neighborhoods and how do they perceive their opportunities for buying a home in Orange County? How many residents feel the financial strain of housing costs, perceive the benefits of rising home values, or are seriously considering moving? What housing and neighborhood options are they willing to consider?
Online data analysis & additional documentation in Link below.
The Orange County Survey a collaborative effort of the Public Policy Institute of California and the School of Social Ecology at the University of California, Irvine is a special edition of the PPIC Statewide Survey. This is the fourth in an annual series of PPIC surveys of Orange County. Mark Baldassare, director of the PPIC Statewide Survey, is the founder and director of the Orange County Annual Survey at UCI and a former UCI professor. The UCI survey was conducted 19 times from 1982 to 2000; thus, the Orange County Survey collaboration between PPIC and UCI that began in 2001 is an extension of earlier survey efforts. The special survey of Orange County is co-sponsored by UCI with local support received for this four-year series from Deloitte and Touche, Pacific Life Foundation, Disneyland, Los Angeles Times, Orange County Business Council, Orange County Division of League of California Cities, Orange County Register, The Irvine Company, and United Way of Orange County.
Orange County is the second most populous county in the state and one of California's fastest growing and changing regions. The county is home to three million residents today, having gained approximately one million residents since 1980. Three in four residents were white and non-Hispanic in 1980; today, nearly half are Latinos and Asians, and more population growth and racial/ethnic change are projected for the next several decades. The county's dynamic economy has become one of the leaders in the high-technology industry. The county is a bellwether county in state and national politics and the site of many important local governance issues, including a county government bankruptcy that occurred 10 years ago in December 1994. There are also housing, transportation, land use, and environmental concerns related to development. Public opinion findings are critical to informing discussions and resolving public debates on key issues. The purpose of this study is to inform policymakers, the media, and the general public by providing timely, accurate, and objective information about policy preferences and economic, social, and political trends.
To measure changes over time, this survey of 1,008 adult residents includes questions from earlier Orange County Annual Surveys. It also includes key indicators from the PPIC Statewide Survey for comparisons with the state and regions of California. We also consider racial/ethnic, income, and political differences. The following issues are explored in this Orange County Survey:
Orange County Issues What are the trends over time in consumer confidence and the public's ratings of the quality of life and the economy in Orange County? Do residents recall the Orange County government bankruptcy in 1994, how do they perceive its impacts today, and have attitudes toward the county government recovered in the past 10 years? How satisfied are residents with their local public services and city governments? What are the most important issues facing the county and how do residents rate the problems in their regions? What are their perceptions of commuting and transportation plans and preferences for local transportation taxes?
Housing Issues How satisfied are residents with their homes and neighborhoods and how do they perceive their opportunities for buying a home in Orange County? How many residents feel the financial strain of housing costs, perceive the benefits of rising home values, or are seriously considering moving? What housing and neighborhood options are they willing to consider?
State and National Issues What is the overall outlook for California and U.S. conditions? How do residents rate the job performances of Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger and President George W. Bush? What are their perceptions of the national election and the second term of the Bush presidency? Has the partisan divide in trust in the federal government increased over time?

The European Parliament rejects ACTA, with a 478 to 39 majority
July 4, 2012 - 1:58 pm

Follow Paul on Twitter: @psawers or check h (show all) Paul Sawers was a reporter with The Next Web in various roles from May 2011 to November 2014. Follow Paul on Twitter: @psawers or check him out on Google+.
Back in January, 22 European Union states, and the EU itself, signed the controversial ACTA treaty, which many argued could lead to severe restrictions on freedom and civil liberties on the Internet.
Whilst protests did follow, and many a debate did rage, it has taken until today for the European Parliament to finally reach a decision on whether to reject or approve the proposals. And the good news, for many at least, is that in a 478 to 39 vote, it has been thrown out.
What is ACTA?
ACTA stands for the Anti-Counterfeiting Trademark Agreement. It is a voluntary agreement between nations that covers a broad range of counterfeit goods, both physical and digital. However, for fans of the World Wide Web, it stirred up controversy for both the secretive 'behind-closed doors' way in which it was drafted, and the effect it could have on our online lives.
The Stop Acta campaign argued that the agreement would make ISPs liable for copyright infringements carried out on their networks, leading them to introduce surveillance technology to monitor their customers' online activity. A 'Three strikes' policy would also be forced upon Internet users, blacklisting them from ISPs after a series of warnings if they were found to have shared files illegally.
So with SOPA killed by protest in the US, and ACTA dead in the water due to unpopular demand, will this herald in a new era for Internet freedom, an era that also seeks to protect the rights of content producers? Maybe, just maybe.
However, consider this. As we've seen with the Newzbin 2 case in the UK, it's not as though extra powers were needed to force ISPs into blocking certain sites. This was illustrated, too, with the Pirate Bay case. So we likely will still continue to see restricted freedoms enforced through the courts across Europe, it just won't fall under the ACTA banner.

No sooner do I detail the tools available from Objective-See, than Patrick Wardle provides us with a new one, RansomWhere?, now available for download, and as free as his others are.
Generically, ransomware is malware which is designed to exort money from you. If you don't pay its perpetrators, then it does nasty things to your Mac. The current crop of ransomware does this by encrypting the files on accessible drives, using a key which is known only to the perpetrators. Pay up – normally well over £/$/€ 100 – and you will be informed of the password, so that you can decrypt the files and use your Mac again.
This poses the insoluble problem of what to do. If you pay up, you should get your Mac back, but you will be encouraging the ransomware authors by rewarding them; if you don't pay up, you face a great deal of time and work to recover your Mac and your documents before you can resume life as normal.
The best way to deal with ransomware is, of course, not to get infected by it in the first place. But malware doesn't only affect those who cruise dangerous sites or use torrents: you could be exposed even if you are fastidious about the sites which you visit.
To date, most ransomware attacks have occurred on PCs, but OS X strains are around and it is quite possible that your Mac will be attacked. Until today, there wasn't really a great deal that you can do apart from wiping everything and starting from scratch: ransomware is surprisingly difficult to detect until it announces its presence, by which time it is too late.
Objective-See's RansomWhere? sits quietly in the background, watching for untrusted apps which are encrypting files in your Home folder. If it finds something suspicious, it pops up to let you know, as an alert. This informs you of the name of the task which is doing the encryption, and the files which were about to be encrypted. You are then given the option of terminating that task, or allowing it to run. If you allow it to run, RansomWhere? adds that task to its trusted list, and will allow it to run uninterrupted in the future – valuable when you do want to encrypt files.
One word of caution: if you want to use RansomWhere? to protect your Mac, you will need to leave it running before any ransomware attack. Once the ransomware is already at work encrypting your files, RansomWhere? is unlikely to be able to detect it and give you the chance to regain control.
I have been testing a beta version of RansomWare? for over a week now. Strangely I had just uninstalled it (to test that removal worked) when I was hit by scareware last Sunday, but very quickly re-installed it.

Will you ever flip me to separate gas and electricity suppliers?
I signed up to Flipper a long time ago, but I've not been flipped yet. Why?
What happens if my tariff contract expires before Flipper is due to carry out their next search for my best deal?

Monaco's Prince Albert II in India to strengthen bilateral relations
Last Updated: Mon, Feb 04, 2019 22:13 hrs
[India], Feb 4 (ANI): Monaco's Monarch Prince Albert II arrived here on Monday on his first official visit during which he is likely to discuss several bilateral issues. His two-day long visit will conclude on February 5.
"Welcoming a valuable partner from Europe and Mediterranean. HSH Prince Albert II of Monaco arrived in India on his 1st official visit, accompanied by a high-level delegation. Official engagements of HSH will include meetings with the political leadership & attending a business event," Ministry of External Affairs' Spokesperson Raveesh Kumar tweeted on Monday.
He is slated to meet President Ram Nath Kovind and Prime Minister Narendra Modi on February 5 to review bilateral relations between India and Monaco. External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj will also meet the Prince on Tuesday.
Following this, he will attend an event at the Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FICCI) along with business leaders from Monaco. "At this event, an MOU between FICCI and Monaco Economic Board is likely to be signed," a statement issued by MEA said.
Prince Albert II will also participate in a conference themed "Energy and Climate" organised by The Energy and Resources Institutes of New Delhi (TERI), during his short official visit to the national capital.
He is scheduled to emplane for Monaco on February 10, following a private tour of India after the conclusion of his official engagements. (ANI)

The Cuirim House facilitates time with God, community with friends, and serving the neighborhood.
People come to Cuirim House for various reasons, but there's certain things you can expect. We'll do our best to paint a picture for you.
When you come to Mexico:
1. You'll be picked up by the awesome, Green Valley drivers in Arizona. Green Valley, a church outside of Tucson, has partnered with Cuirim Outreach, and several of their members volunteer as drivers. The Green Valley drivers get our volunteer teams to the Burger King along the border.
Walking across the Border.
2. After enjoying Burger King, you'll be led across the border and take a chartered school bus to Cuirim House.
3. When the teams get to Cuirim House, they have orientation and then start a work project. Work projects consist of: cementing, building tire walls, leveling, painting, and other construction tasks. They also have a chance to go to the Kids Cafe and help with VBS, or play at the soccer field near Michel's church. The teams do these types of work projects throughout the week.
Teams and individuals come down for multiple reasons and have different reactions to the environment and way of life. Many students and adults come to Cuirim House for their first missions trip, to practice their Spanish, or to serve others. For some, it's their first time out of the country. For others, they've been to Nogales several times and keep coming back.
As you'll see below, we've asked a few of our volunteers several questions about their time in Nogales, Mexico:
Tim, Caroline, Jackson, Sam, Liam, Kayla, and Morgan.
Kayla Toole (age 20; Baltimore, MD): "I came back because this is a second home to me. I look forward to mixing cement, carrying buckets and finishing floors. I come back because the people of Nogales remind me of Jesus' love, and although I come to serve, the people here actually serve me through their testimonies and perseverance. They remind me to be grateful and to love unconditionally. The person I want to be is more clear when I'm here."
Morgan Madden (age 20; Baltimore, MD): "I first came to Mexico because of my friend, Kayla. I was looking for spiritual guidance and support and to make a difference in the world. I felt like I needed to change my perspective on life, and coming to Mexico has helped me do that. At Cuirim House I felt connected, peaceful, content, and I discovered who I'm supposed to be. My favorite memory was when Kayla was baptized in the Lower Chapel. It was a physical example of why we are here: to serve and worship God."
Annie and Tessa
Tessa Wienholt (HS; Baltimore, MD): "I love the simplicity of Mexico. It's so easy to feel and experience God's presence. It's refreshing to put others before myself. I came here to share the gospel and work hard for families in need. I wanted to experience the place that has affected so many of my friends and changed so many lives."
Caleb Ashcroft (age 18; Lynchburg, VA) goes to New Covenant School and was baptized at Cuirim House in the fountain next to the lower chapel. He returns because, as he puts it, "It gives me a breath of fresh air. It offers a relief from worldly problems and allows me to take a step back from life."
Everyone has a unique story. IS Mexico a part of yours?
The people who come to Mexico have many different stories and experiences. Some come seeking healing and growth, others to reorganize their priorities. Cuirim House is a place of peace. It's a place to experience community and God in a different way. The only question left is, when are you coming?

Kurt Andreas Ernst Becher (* 12. September 1909 in Hamburg; † 8. August 1995 in Bremen) war ein deutscher Kaufmann und Standartenführer der SS.

Leben
Becher wurde als Sohn eines Hamburger Kaufmanns geboren und erlernte den gleichen Beruf in der Futtermittelbranche. Bereits im Alter von 22 Jahren war er Prokurist bei einer Hamburger Firma. Als begeisterter Reiter trat er nach der Machtergreifung Adolf Hitlers 1934 in die Reiter-SS ein.

Becher war dreimal verheiratet. In erster Ehe mit Hermine Grametbauer, verw. Gräfin von Platen-Hallermund (1912–1949), der Sohn Thomas Becher (* 1938) starb 1967. In zweiter Ehe mit Käte Marta Frieda Müller (1914–1959). Mit seiner dritten Frau war er im Reitsport aktiv. Ab den 1950er Jahren wohnte er zeitweise in Bremen.  Seine Frau zog nach seinem Tod wieder nach Hamburg.

Karriere
Am 2. Juni 1937 beantragte er die Aufnahme in die NSDAP und wurde rückwirkend zum 1. Mai desselben Jahres aufgenommen (Mitgliedsnummer 4.486.195). Er kam zu Kriegsbeginn in die SS-Totenkopf-Reiterstandarte 1 unter ihrem Kommandeur Hermann Fegelein, dem späteren Ehemann von Eva Brauns Schwester Margarete.

Becher wurde bald befördert und Zugführer in der 1. Schwadron, die sich durch ihre Exekutionstätigkeit in Warschau "auszeichnete". Durch ihre effiziente Grausamkeit bekannt geworden, wurde diese Truppe auch im Krieg gegen die Sowjetunion zur Bekämpfung von Partisanen herangezogen. Die Reitereinheit, spätere Brigade unterstand der SS-Polizeiführung im Bereich der Heeresgruppe Mitte, Erich von dem Bach-Zelewski. Bei der Partisanenbekämpfung im Gebiet der Pripjetsümpfe wurde streng nach Befehl gehandelt, welcher lautete: "Jeder Partisan ist zu erschießen. Juden sind grundsätzlich als Partisanen zu betrachten."

Während dieser Zeit ermordete seine Einheit rund 14.000 Juden, und Becher wurde immer weiter befördert, zuerst zum 1. Ordonnanzoffizier seiner Einheit, dann zum SS-Obersturmführer. Mitte März 1942 wurde Becher als SS-Hauptsturmführer in das SS-Führungshauptamt versetzt. Dort übernahm er die Inspektion des Reit- und Fahrwesens der SS. Nach zwei weiteren Einsätzen an der Ostfront wurde ihm 1944 das Deutsche Kreuz in Gold verliehen. Er wurde bald SS-Sturmbannführer und schließlich am 30. Januar 1944 SS-Obersturmbannführer.

Nur drei Monate später, im März 1944, wurde er nach dem Einmarsch in Ungarn nach Budapest berufen, um im Auftrag der SS offiziell Ausrüstung und Pferde zu kaufen. Neben der Beschaffung von Material für die Waffen-SS ging Becher auch daran, Vermögen für die SS sicherzustellen.

In diesem Zusammenhang gelang es ihm, die Leitung des von Manfréd Weiss gegründeten Konzerns zu übernehmen. Becher hatte dabei ein leichtes Spiel, da Weiss Jude war und zu dieser Zeit die ungarischen Juden bereits systematisch verhaftet und nach Auschwitz-Birkenau deportiert wurden. Becher verhandelte nach eigenen Angaben mit dem ehemaligen Vertreter des Konzerns, Dr. Franz Chorin, der von der ungarischen Regierung verhaftet worden war. Es wurde vereinbart, dass die Mehrheitsanteile der Familie Weiss gegen eine Zahlung von 3 Millionen Reichsmark in Devisen an die SS überschrieben wurden. Als Gegenleistung durfte die Familie Weiss, die überwiegend aus Juden bestand, unter einer Zurückbehaltung von fünf Geiseln (nach anderen Angaben waren es neun), in die Schweiz und nach Portugal ausreisen. Der Vertrag dazu wurde am 17. Mai 1944 unterschrieben.

Anschließend trat Becher als Konkurrent zu Adolf Eichmann, der bereits die Kontakte aufgebaut hatte, an das jüdische Hilfskomitee in Budapest heran. Heinrich Himmler schien zu diesem Zeitpunkt bereits Interesse daran zu haben, mit jüdischen Organisationen ins Geschäft zu kommen, um so später auch eine Position für Verhandlungen mit den Alliierten aufzubauen. Er bot an, für rund 10.000 LKWs und Winterausrüstung 1 Million Juden freizulassen. Als die Verhandlungen schließlich platzten, hatte Becher den direkten Auftrag von Himmler, weiter Ausschau nach Geschäften unter der Devise "Blut gegen Ware" zu halten. So wurden im Dezember 1944 gegen Schmuck im Wert mehrerer Millionen Schweizer Franken 1.684 "Austauschjuden" über eine Zwischenstation im KZ Bergen-Belsen mit Ausreise in die Schweiz freigekauft, 318 von ihnen kamen schon im August 1944, also kurz nach dem Attentat auf Hitler, in die Schweiz. Bei mehreren Treffen mit Saly Mayer, dem Vorsitzenden des Schweizerischen Israelitischen Gemeindebundes, wurde im Herbst 1944 die Freilassung dieser Häftlingsgruppe aus Bergen-Belsen verhandelt. Mittler war der Ungar Rudolf Kasztner. Becher wurde am 1. Januar 1945 zum SS-Standartenführer ernannt.

Becher baute sich mit den Verhandlungen langsam eine Position auf, die ihn nach dem Krieg in einem günstigeren Licht erscheinen lassen sollte. Seine Uneigennützigkeit bei den Verhandlungen war lange Jahre ein Thema. Doch scheint es aus heutiger Sicht, dass Becher systematisch an seiner Nachkriegslegende gearbeitet hat. Schließlich wurde er am Ende des Krieges, am 9. April 1945, noch zum "Reichssonderkommissar für sämtliche Konzentrationslager" ernannt. Praktisch hatte er zu diesem Zeitpunkt jedoch keinen Einfluss mehr auf die Geschehnisse in den Lagern. Doch Becher nutzte die Zeit, um sich auf das Kriegsende vorzubereiten.

Nachkriegszeit
Im Mai 1945 wurde Kurt Becher durch die amerikanischen Militärbehörden in Nürnberg inhaftiert. Zwar wurde er bei den Nürnberger Prozessen als Zeuge vernommen, aber nicht persönlich angeklagt. Der Anklage entging Becher damals in erster Linie durch die Aussage Kasztners, seines Verhandlungspartners aus der Zeit in Budapest. Becher blieb in Deutschland von jeder weiteren Anklage verschont, sagte aber im Eichmann-Prozess vor dem Bremer Amtsgericht aus. Becher weigerte sich nach Israel zu kommen, da er fürchten musste, dort selbst als Kriegsverbrecher verhaftet zu werden. Durch seine Zeugenaussagen zum Eichmann-Prozess in Jerusalem 1961 sowie im Prozess gegen Hermann Krumey und Otto Hunsche in Frankfurt am Main 1964 kam Becher noch einmal zu öffentlicher Aufmerksamkeit.

In Deutschland konnte Becher weiter seinen Geschäften nachgehen und baute sich mehrere Handelsfirmen auf, darunter auch das ungarische Unternehmen Monimpex GmbH, das bis zur Wende den bundesdeutsch-ungarischen Agrarhandel abwickelte. Er wurde ein wohlhabender Geschäftsmann in Bremen und leitete die Bremer Getreide- und Futtermittelbörse. Nach 1960 war er einer der reichsten Männer in West-Deutschland mit einem geschätzten Vermögen von 30 Millionen US-$.
In den 1980er Jahren geriet Becher zuletzt in die Schlagzeilen, weil er für einen hohen Posten in der deutschen Wirtschaft vorgeschlagen wurde, den er jedoch wegen seiner Vergangenheit in der NS-Zeit nicht antreten konnte.

In revisionistischen Kreisen wird Becher oft als Zeuge genannt, wenn es um die Relativierung von Opferzahlen in den Konzentrationslagern ging. Andererseits war er einer der wenigen, die von Himmlers Versuchen wussten, mit den Alliierten ins Gespräch zu kommen und so einen Sonderfrieden abzuschließen. Bis zum Ende seines Lebens war Becher daher auch immer Ziel diverser Spekulationen. Er wohnte zuletzt in Bremen in der Blumenthalstraße und starb 1995 im Alter von 86 Jahren als reicher Mann, ohne je für seine Taten vor Gericht gestanden zu haben.

Eine mittelständische Handelsfirma in Bremen trägt weiterhin seinen Namen. Diese wurde am 28. Juni 1949 beim Amtsgericht Bremen eingetragen.

The ingestible hydrogel device as a small pill can swell to a large soft sphere, and deswell to a floppy membrane.
The ingestible hydrogel device swells in water with high speed and high ratio.
Researchers at MIT have developed an expandable pill that can stay in the stomach for a month and could potentially track issues like ulcers and cancers. "The pill is made from two types of hydrogels -- mixtures of polymers and water -- making it softer and longer-lasting than current ingestible sensors," reports Robert Preidt for HealthDay.
Washington Post reporter Peter Holley writes that MIT researchers have developed a new ingestible, expanding pill that can remain in the stomach for up to a month and could be used to help with weight loss or to monitor conditions inside the human body. "The pills could also be used to place tiny cameras inside the body that could monitor tumors and ulcers over time," Holley explains.
MIT researchers have developed a new ingestible pill that expands once it reaches the stomach and could be used to monitor a patient's health, reports the BBC News. "The dream is to have a smart pill, that once swallowed stays in the stomach and monitors the patient's health for a long time, such as a month," explains Prof. Xuanhe Zhao.

5 Reasons for 20 million car recalls around world
AutoInsider
| 26 June, 2014 at 16:40
Photo credit: Flickr
The number itself explains the concerning situation car industry is in right now. Porsche is recalling 753 brand new GT3 engine because of the danger of fire. Mazda has been struggling in the United States since 2011 and Toyota is going to recall 8.5 million cars just this year including models like Prius, Rav4, Yaris and so on.
Absolute recorder, even though it might not be in records yet, is General Motors. In may, GM recalled 16 million of their cars which not only breaks their own record from 2004 of 10.7 million, but also Toyota's record from 2009/2010 of 14 million. Reason? Faulty ignition switch.
Recent malfunctions include the airbag manufacturer Takata whose airbags proved itself as lethal, killing few people by deploying for no reason. It was concluded that the issue was the moisture which affected electronic components.
You think that German cars are perfect? Think again. BMW recalled 489000 of their cars with 6 cylinder engines because valve screws can snap. VW recalled 598000 of their caddy's because of the faulty shocks on cargo door. Altogether more than 20 million cars have been recalled since the beginning of the year, and that number is growing. So, what's the problem?
1. Same Parts
With a help of modular building and platform strategies manufacturers can increase vehicle quality. At least that's the theory, because in reality sharing the same parts has its drawbacks. When one faulty part is installed, multiple models are affected and it can even spread to other brands.
This happened to VW last year when 1.6 million cars from Audi, Seat, Skoda and VW had problem with double clutch transmission and they had to go for an oil replacement. Same parts policy plays the major role in recalls, but not the only one. Over the years, same parts keep the same serial number, but they change technologically.
Potential mistakes can be hardly fixed and we go back to the GM which had to go in front of congress. First they recalled 1.6 million cars, but they had to recall additional 2.6 million because of already mentioned faulty ignition switch. Problem is that in the meantime they changed the part without assigning it a new serial number and even the newer models had to go through control.
2. Complex Technology
In last 10 years number of electric components in average car has grown tremendously. That goes for the ESP, ABS, air bags, multimedia systems and components that power them. In 90's in an average luxury sedan number of electric cables was 1200 and it has grown to 2100 nowadays. Even though many of those components are regarded to safety, they could also cause many faults. According to many automobile experts, source of the problems is not only in car components but also in the testing procedure.
On the other side car manufacturers are testing more than ever, but because of short model cycle tests are shorter every year. Because of the amount of technological components in a modern car not every configuration can be thoroughly tested in every climate and extreme situation.
Instead of that, tests are limited to predefined extreme scenarios. As autonomic driving is developing, complexity is increasing. In a future we'll see a technology which can recognize the issues with help of sensors and telemetry. However, new complex technology might not be the answer, it might have the opposite effect.
3. Pressure Of Savings
Competition has strengthened in the last couple of decades and that has an effect on both manufacturers and suppliers of car components. By getting certain components from a supplier, car companies could generate saving of few percent annually. Manufacturers sign contracts with only biggest suppliers. Those that are positioned lower on the pyramid do not have such a privilege, even though certain quality standards have to be respected.
To generate the savings, car manufacturers assign important components to outside suppliers. High quality standards are passed to the other side and responsibility grows in the supply chain. At the same time it's inefficient for manufacturers to control supplier's production lines.
So if there are numerous suppliers for one model, down that chain there is going to be a small company which only has 20 or 30 people employed. It could be impossible to control them all. Car manufacturers are always looking to improve their production whether with faster or cheaper labor, and by this, mistakes are inevitable.
4. Short Model Cycle
Developing processes have shortened dramatically in the last ten years. Because of high competition on the global level car manufacturers develop new models in less time. Consequently tests are shorter. Even though certain suppliers might cope with that, there isn't much time for optimization.
If you know anything about cars you know that older cars can last much longer compared to their modern versions. For example quality German car from the early 90's will last ten times as much compared to its relative made in 2013 or 2014. Logically, less time they take to develop a certain model and less time they test it, there is a potential for more problems. Problem is that this trend will continue because car companies don't see other way to satisfy all of the customer demands.
As we can see from the previous cases, the problems reflect mostly on the electrical components. So we are in this weird situation where car manufacturers implement more complex technologies by day and they are not actually reliable. They produce millions of cars which have not been thoroughly tested and we end up with a new car that's not working properly.
5. Fear Of Bad Reputation
In a time where news travel like lightning through social media and news, vehicle recalls are heard about all around the world. Toyota learned this when they didn't react fast and transparent enough to their problem with sticky gas pedal in 2009. As a result they lost customers trust, and people don't see them as synonym for quality like they did before that incident.
Believe it or not, Toyota is still recovering, but they learned that they have to react as fast as possible to those scenarios, and even though they are as transparent as they can be at the moment, their reputation somewhat damaged.
Because of all media around us people are aware of the recall almost instantly. This affects car manufacturers directly and they pay more attention to the recalls. There is no denying that all the media helps spread the news faster, but there is a bad side to it.
Small issue that could be solved quietly on a regular service makes it to the media and it becomes big problem. This results in customers that lose trust for basically no reason.

The issue of privilege has a long history in the field of civil struggle. For example, the activist community was split in the early 1800's over whether the suffragist movement could coexist with the anti-slavery movement. Everyone involved knew that women were being treated as second-class citizens, but did they really have the right to complain about it while others were still enslaved? Wouldn't a secondary campaign for women's rights take away support for the abolitionists?
2004-07-02 Untitled I've had an eventful life, all of a sudden. Currently, I'm a little intoxicated after celebrating the fact that I have failed to screw myself over financially, so bear with me.

Ice Cube Goes From Hip Hop to Hijinks
by Brad Balfour
Originally posted on May 14, 2005.
Who would have thought that when Ice Cube appeared as a member of the original Los Angeles gangster rappers NWA that he would end up doing such a goofy and utterly cute yet pathetic comedy Are We There Yet? Yet as the hardcore star went from music to film, he's has proven to be versatile and broad-ranging skills, a grown-up now, and a survivor, not just another disgruntled ghetto youth.
When you made it big, you showed that people can come from something as extreme as the gangster roots, and then grow, and that there's a positive afterlife. Do you feel that's something you've accomplished?
What I wanted to show is that everybody who comes from the gangster life — they want what that man in the suburbs wants. Nice family. Nice house. Nice cars. Bills paid. Kids in school. Food on the table. Nothing more. Nobody's trying to be Scarface out here. Everybody just wants to be comfortable. People always wonder, "You came from all this hard stuff, but now you ain't pumpin' that as much? That hardcore image." Because now my family's comfortable. I have things that I haven't had. Now I'm speaking for the people who can't speak for themselves. From my point of view, yeah, I'm not "in the hood" no more, doing all that stuff, but I've got people there. I got family there. Most of my roots are there. I can't separate myself from that. But as far as the gangster in the hood, the dude that's in the penitentiary, the dope dealer goes? All they want is to be comfortable. Nice house. Family. No more, no less. That's really what this shows. If you give anybody the chance, they can always make a decent human being out of themselves. It's the people that don't have a chance, that we look down at like they're monsters or they're animals or that they want something different than the rest of us. That they don't want to be like us. That's not true. They want to be just like everybody else.
Do you ever feel you were in the crosshairs, instead of just the spotlight?
No, never. It's a small price to pay for where I've come from and where I am. It's like, please.
An easy call, right?
Yeah. I've dealt with a lot harder shit than reporters coming down on me. You know what I mean? That's kind of easy to deal with. I know who I am. I know what I'm about.
When you started out, people felt that NWA were West Coast heirs of Public Enemy — doing important rap that was saying something real to people. Now a lot of hip-hop has gotten too much into the blingage, and not as much into real cultu
What happened was Public Enemy, BDP, myself, a little bit Ice-T, we were heirs to when people wanted to hear these changes. Our plight. Our history. We were learning a lot from the music. And that music was real threatening to the establishment. So then, here comes Death Row which is pretty much more gangster than knowledge, you know what I mean? The establishment chose to really promote that and pump that. I'm not saying they didn't make great records because those were some of the best records made. But they got more love in some of the areas that we couldn't even get into. MTV went open arms with them. But for us, it was a struggle, because they never really wanted our messages to get out there on that level. It was just a calculated move by people who bring rap to the world — radio stations, newspapers, magazines, video shows. It was just an effort to pump that, because it really had no substance to it. And that's what's taken over and kind of steamrolled to this bling-era. But people are always hungry for knowledge, so here come the Roots and the Kanye Wests of the world. Here comes the knowledge back again. It's probably going to take a few years for it to be as widespread as it was, but it's coming back.

Back Bay, Boston
(Redirected from Back Bay)
"Back Bay" redirects here. For the rail station in the neighborhood, see Back Bay station. For other uses, see Back Bay (disambiguation).
Back Bay is an officially recognized neighborhood of Boston, Massachusetts,[2] built on reclaimed land in the Charles River basin. Construction began in 1859, as the demand for luxury housing exceeded the availability in the city at the time, and the area was fully built by around 1900.[3] It is most famous for its rows of Victorian brownstone homes—considered one of the best preserved examples of 19th-century urban design in the United States—as well as numerous architecturally significant individual buildings, and cultural institutions such as the Boston Public Library, and Boston Architectural College. Initially conceived as a residential-only area, commercial buildings were permitted from around 1890, and Back Bay now features many office buildings, including the John Hancock Tower, Boston's tallest skyscraper.[4] It is also considered a fashionable shopping destination (especially Newbury and Boylston Streets, and the adjacent Prudential Center and Copley Place malls) and home to several major hotels.[5]

View (1858) from State House dome westward along the Mill Dam (now Beacon Street), which separated Back Bay (left) from Charles River and which, with companion Cross Dam (in distance, in modern Massachusetts Avenue–Kenmore Square region, with mills barely visible near juncture with Mill Dam), represented attempt to derive mill power from river tides. Trees along north-south waterline represent western boundary (now Arlington Street) of Boston Public Garden.[8]
Brownstone residential buildings in Back Bay
Before its transformation into buildable land by a 19th-century filling project, the Back Bay was a bay, west of the Shawmut Peninsula (on the far side from Boston Harbor) between Boston and Cambridge, the Charles River entering from the west. This bay was tidal: the water rose and fell several feet over the course of each day, and at low tide much of the bay's bed was exposed as a marshy flat. As early as 5,200 years before present, Native Americans built fish weirs here, evidence of which was discovered during subway construction in 1913 (see Ancient Fishweir Project and Boylston Street Fishweir).
In 1814, the Boston and Roxbury Mill Corporation was chartered to construct a milldam, which would also serve as a toll road connecting Boston to Watertown, bypassing Boston Neck. The dam prevented the natural tides from flushing sewage out to sea, creating severe sanitary and odor problems.[9] With costs higher and power lower than expected, in the end, the project was an economic failure, and in 1857 a massive project was begun to "make land" by filling the area enclosed by the dam.[10]
The firm of Goss and Munson built additional railroad trackage extending to quarries in Needham, Massachusetts, 9 miles (14 km) away. Twenty-five 35-car trains arrived every 24 hours carrying gravel and other fill, at a rate in the daytime of one every 45 minutes.[11] (William Dean Howells recalled "the beginnings of Commonwealth Avenue, and the other streets of the Back Bay, laid out with their basements left hollowed in the made land, which the gravel trains were yet making out of the westward hills.")[12]
Present-day Back Bay itself was filled by 1882; the project reached existing land at what is now Kenmore Square in 1890, and finished in the Fens[vague] in 1900.[13] Much of the old mill dam remains buried under present-day Beacon Street.[14] The project was the largest of a number of land reclamation projects which, beginning in 1820, more than doubled the size of the original Shawmut Peninsula.
Completion of the Charles River Dam in 1910 converted the former Charles estuary into a freshwater basin; the Charles River Esplanade was constructed to allow residents to enjoy the view of the new lagoon.[15] The Esplanade has since undergone several changes, including the construction of Storrow Drive.[16]
RoadsEdit
Principal streets of Back Bay.
The Back Bay is traversed by five east–west corridors: Beacon Street, Marlborough Street, Commonwealth Avenue, Newbury Street and Boylston Street. These are interrupted at regular intervals by north–south streets named alphabetically: Arlington (along the western border of the Boston Public Garden), Berkeley, Clarendon, Dartmouth, Exeter, Fairfield, Gloucester and Hereford Streets. All of the west–east streets, except Commonwealth Avenue, are one-way streets.
In the 1960s, the "High Spine" design plan, in conjunction with development plans, gave way to the construction of high-rise buildings along the Massachusetts Turnpike, which in turn allowed the development of major projects in the area.
ArchitectureEdit

Building guidelinesEdit
The plan of Back Bay, by Arthur Gilman of the firm Gridley James Fox Bryant, was greatly influenced by Haussmann's renovation of Paris.[17] It featured wide, parallel, tree-lined avenues unlike anything seen in other Boston neighborhoods.[citation needed] Five east–west corridors—Beacon Street (closest to the Charles), Marlborough Street, Commonwealth Avenue (actually two one-way thoroughfares flanking the tree-lined pedestrian Commonwealth Avenue Mall), Newbury Street and Boylston Street—are intersected at regular intervals by north–south cross streets: Arlington (along the western edge of the Public Garden), Berkeley, Clarendon, Dartmouth, Exeter, Fairfield, Gloucester, and Hereford. An 1874 guidebook[18] noted the trisyllabic-disyllabic alternation of that alphabetic sequence; the series continues in the adjacent Fenway neighborhood with Ipswich, Jersey, and Kilmarnock Streets. West of Hereford are Massachusetts Avenue (a regional thoroughfare crossing the Harvard Bridge to Cambridge and far beyond) and Charlesgate, which forms the Back Bay's western boundary.
Setback requirements and other restrictions, written into the lot deeds of the newly filled Back Bay, produced harmonious rows of dignified three- and four-story residential brownstones (though most along Newbury Street are now in commercial use). The Back Bay is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, and is considered one of the best-preserved examples of 19th-century urban architecture in the United States.[19] In 1966, the Massachusetts Legislature, "to safeguard the heritage of the city of Boston by preventing the despoliation" of the Back Bay, created the Back Bay Architectural District to regulate exterior changes to Back Bay buildings.[7][20]
Since the 1960s, the concept of a High Spine has influenced large-project development in Boston, reinforced by zoning rules permitting high-rise construction along the axis of the Massachusetts Turnpike, including air rights siting of buildings.[21]
Buildings around Copley SquareEdit
Trinity Church c. 1903
Copley Square features Trinity Church, the Boston Public Library, the John Hancock Tower, and numerous other notable buildings.
Original home of the Museum of Fine Arts

Trinity Church (1872–1877, H.H. Richardson), "deservedly regarded as one of the finest buildings in America."[22]
The first monumental structure in Copley Square was the original Museum of Fine Arts, begun 1870 and opened 1876. After the museum moved to the Fenway neighborhood in 1909 its red Gothic Revival building was demolished to make way for the Fairmont Copley Plaza Hotel (1912–present).
The Boston Public Library (1888–1892), designed by McKim, Mead, and White, is a leading example of Beaux-Arts architecture in the US. Sited across Copley Square from Trinity Church, it was intended to be "a palace for the people." Baedeker's 1893 guide terms it "dignified and imposing, simple and scholarly," and "a worthy mate... to Trinity Church." At that time, its 600,000 volumes made it the largest free public library in the world.
The Old South Church, also called the New Old South Church (645 Boylston Street on Copley Square), 1872–75, is located across the street from the Boston Public Library. It was designed by the Boston architectural firm of Cummings and Sears in the Venetian Gothic style. The style follows the precepts of the British cultural theorist and architectural critic John Ruskin (1819–1900) as outlined in his treatise The Stones of Venice. Old South Church remains a significant example of Ruskin's influence on architecture in the US. Charles Amos Cummings and Willard T. Sears also designed the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum.
There were at various time three different "Hancock buildings" in the Back Bay, culminating in a skyscraper flanking Trinity Church:
The Stephen L. Brown Building (Parker, Thomas & Rice, 1922) was the first of the three Hancock buildings:
The Old John Hancock Building (Cram and Ferguson, 1947) was the tallest building in Back Bay until construction of the Prudential Tower. (Sometimes called the Berkeley Building, though not to be confused with the actual Berkeley Building, below.)
The John Hancock Tower (I. M. Pei, 1972), New England's tallest building at 60 stories, is a dark-blue reflective glass tower with a footprint in the form of a narrow parallelogram. Admirers assert that it does not diminish the impact of Trinity Church; a critic said it "may be nihilistic, overbearing, even elegantly rude, but it's not dull."[23]
Other prominent Back Bay buildingsEdit
The 52-story Prudential Tower, thought to be a marvel in 1964, is now considered ugly by some critics.[23] Although the Prudential Tower has garnered scant architectural acclaim, the Prudential Center overall was awarded the Urban Land Institute's "Award for Best Mixed Use Property" in 2006.[24]
111 Huntington Avenue (2002), a 36-story tower south of the Prudential Center, is Boston's eighth-tallest building. The building is crowned by an open dome frame and an enclosed "Wintergarden", and features a 1.2-acre (4,900 m2) fully landscaped South Garden. It was nominated for the 2002 Emporis Skyscraper Award, and received third place "bronze".[25]
Arlington Street Church (Arthur Gilman, 1861), inspired by London's St Martin-in-the-Fields, was the first church built in the newly filled Back Bay. (Architect Gilman also designed Back Bay's grid-style street plan.)
Berkeley Building (Constant-Désiré Despradelle, 1905) features a white terra cotta Beaux-Arts architecture facade on a steel frame.
Boston Park Plaza (George B. Post, 1927), a prototype of the grand American hotel, it was the first hotel in the world to offer in-room radio in every room.
Church of the Covenant (Richard M. Upjohn, 1865–1867) is a Presbyterian church of Roxbury puddingstone in Gothic Revival style, which its designer intended as "a high gothic edifice ... which no ordinary dwelling house would overtop."[26]
The Colonnade Hotel (1971), with its row of columns, delineates the "back side" of the Prudential Center complex.
The First Church of Christ, Scientist (1894; extended 1904), the centerpiece of the Christian Science Plaza, which also features a reflecting pool.
The Gibson House (1860), preserved very much as it was in the 19th century, is now a museum.
The Mary Baker Eddy Library and Mapparium museum and Library
The New England Life Building (now called the Newbry Building) occupies the site of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology's first home, the Rogers Building (1866–1939) by William G. Preston. On the same block (and also by Preston) is the original home of Boston Society of Natural History;[27] the Society is now Boston's Museum of Science—located elsewhere—but the building remains, now in retail use.
The Saint Clement Eucharistic Shrine (Arthur F. Gray, 1922), today a Roman Catholic church, was originally built for the Second Universalist Society.
Cultural and educational institutionsEdit
Prominent cultural and educational institutions in the Back Bay include:
Alliance française, on Marlborough Street
Berklee College of Music, which occupies a number of older and newly built Back Bay buildings
Boston Architectural College, the oldest independent architecture school in the US
Boston Conservatory, with buildings on Hemenway Street and The Fenway
Goethe Institute, on Newbury Street
New England College of Optometry, the oldest optometry school in the US, located on Beacon Street
New England Conservatory, on Huntington Avenue
New England Historic Genealogical Society, whose archive and research center is at 99 Newbury Street
ParklandEdit
The Back Bay Fens is a large picturesque park on Back Bay's south edge that forms part of Boston's Emerald Necklace.
The Charles River Reservation runs between Storrow Drive and the Charles River at Back Bay's northern border.
Commonwealth Avenue, which runs through the center of Back Bay, has a large center mall.
Copley Square, named for painter John Singleton Copley, is a public square in southeast Back Bay.
TransportationEdit
Back Bay is served by the Green Line's Arlington, Copley, Hynes Convention Center, and Prudential stations, and the Orange Line's Back Bay station (which is also an MBTA Commuter Rail and Amtrak station).

^ However, the Kenmore and Fenway land was not all built up immediately, as explained by Bainbridge Bunting in 1967: By 1900 the Back Bay residential area had almost ceased to grow. After 1910 only thirty new houses were constructed, after 1917 none at all. Instead of paying high prices for filled land on which to erect a home within walking distance of his office, the potential home builder escaped to the suburbs on the electric trolley or in his automobile. This flight from the city left empty much of the area west of Kenmore Square and adjacent to Fenway Park, and only later was it occupied by non-descript and closely-built apartments.
