Over at Sunday Magazine, I encountered a story from the July 2, 1911 edition of the New York Times concerning a new "Hymn to Liberty" composed by Arthur Farwell and to be sung at City Hall on the 4th of that year, as a "new national hymn".
Intrigued, and having not heard it before nor being able to find a copy online, I set about to make a small recording, which I'll present here. No choir on hand, I've reset the four voices in a direct, one-to-one setting for string quartet following the traditional arrangements, so the music is the same though the instruments differ; the piano line remains unchanged.


(APPLICATION ABSTRACT): The long-term objective of the MEMO Study (Minimizing Error, Maximizing Outcome) is to determine the effect of the healthcare work environment on the quality of care and the role of physicians as mediators of this effect.
Specific aims i nclude: 1) to determine the effect of workplace characteristics on patient outcomes such as satisfaction, disease control and medical errors; 2) to determine if the lowest error rates and best outcomes occur in an environment with low physician stress and burnout, and to identify the elements of such an environment; and 3) to define how predictors of quality and errors differ between women and men physicians, minority and non-minority physicians, and urban and rural physicians. The MEMO Study is a longitudinal, observational study of 500 physicians and 3,000 of their patients in 5 clinical sites: New York, Chicago, Milwaukee, Madison and rural Wisconsin. Patients will have one or more of three conditions: hypertension, diabetes and chronic lung disease. The initial 6 month phase will include focus groups with physicians, other healthcare personnel, and patients where individuals can """"""""tell their stories"""""""" about the successes and challenges of their day-to-day healthcare experiences. This information will be utilized to develop surveys for the second phase, a two year prospective evaluation of physicians, patients and their outcomes. Medical errors in treatment and diagnosis will be assessed via chart review at the conclusion of phase two. Phase three will consist of data analysis and dissemination activities, including preparation of non-technical monographs, and use of the """"""""Knowledge Caf? method at regional and national primary care meetings. One study outcome will be a """"""""best practice index"""""""" listing workplace characteristics that result in low error rates and high quality care. This index will provide a menu for practice managers and healthcare organizations to use in determining how to best modify their practices to improve quality. Due to our diverse clinical sites, we anticipate being able to answer questions concerning physicians and patients in rural and inner-city settings. We also anticipate being able to answer questions about women and minority physicians, groups that are typically underrepresented in physician-centered research.

Happy to go solar — From left, Troy Baumgartner and his father, Roger Baumgartner, are joined by The Baumgartner Co. general manager Kim Mallory and Solar-Fit owner Bill Gallagher to give a tour of the solar system now in operation on the real estate company's buildings.
Skyscraper — The Baumgartner Co.'s six-story building at the intersection of New York Avenue and Woodland Boulevard was DeLand's first "skyscraper," according to this historical plaque on the building. It was so tall it attracted the exploits of a daredevil known as the human fly, who scaled the building in an attempt to earn tips from onlookers.
Far reach — A crane parked three doors down lifts materials to the roof of the Baumgartner building in Downtown DeLand, as a roof replacement and solar-array installation take place in August.

Solar panels at work — Solar panels absorb the sunshine and turn it into electricity for use by businesses operating in one of Downtown DeLand's tallest buildings. The solar panels aren't actually fastened to the roof, explained Bill Gallagher, owner of Solar-Fit, which did the installation. Instead, they are linked together and weighted with blocks designed to withstand hurricane winds.
Downtown DeLand gets second big solar system
Barb Shepherd
CEO/Publisher
Tax credit for solar
Making a solar installation especially attractive to many property owners is a federal tax credit which, until the end of 2019, meant solar owners could subtract 30 percent of the cost of a system from federal income taxes they owed.
For systems installed in 2020, the credit has been reduced to 26 percent, according to Solar-Fit owner Bill Gallagher. It will go down to 22 percent for 2021, and to 10 percent for 2022, he said.
Individuals must rely on their own accountants and tax advisers to determine how the credit will work in their specific situation, but it is sometimes possible to include the cost of roof repairs completed as part of a solar project when calculating the credit, and also may be possible to stretch the credit over several tax years.
— Barb Shepherd
The view from atop the sixth floor of the Baumgartner building in Downtown DeLand is spectacular: The multicolored roofs of favorite shops and eateries are dotted with architectural details not visible from the ground. People and cars pass by along the streets 80 feet below, and the scene is framed by a lush green ring of treetops.
Now there's something else to look at from this bird's-eye vantage. The multilevel roofs of the Baumgartner complex are covered with 246 SunPower solar panels in an 80.4-kilowatt system that's designed to grab the sunshine and turn it into electricity for use by more than 40 businesses operating below.
It's Downtown DeLand's second big commercial solar-power-system installation and, according to Bill Gallagher, owner of Solar-Fit, may now be the largest privately owned solar array in Volusia County.
Solar-Fit has done 19,000 solar installations, but because there's no official tracking system for private arrays, he can't know for sure how the Baumgartner system ranks.
Solar-Fit also installed a 60-kilowatt system at the Ball Fabrics manufacturing plant on Arizona Avenue in DeLand, which came online in late 2018.
The honor of the largest private system in the county originally belonged to Conrad Realty Co.'s 187-panel, 50-kilowatt system that came online in 2016 above New York Avenue less than a block from the Baumgartner system.
For building owners Roger Baumgartner and his son, Troy Baumgartner, spending about $600,000 for the solar system and a new membrane roof was a no-brainer.
"We think it's a good investment," Troy Baumgartner said. "It pays itself back in a short period, compared to its life span."
He's looking at a payback of about eight years.
It also feels good, Troy Baumgartner and his dad said, to be helping to lessen the nation's dependence on nonrenewable energy sources like coal and oil.
Over the effective life span of the system, which is projected to be 40 years, the Baumgartners and their business tenants should save an estimated $1.3 million in electricity costs, Gallagher said, when anticipated utility-rate hikes and the 30-percent tax credit are factored in.
It made financial sense, especially, the Baumgartners said, because they were already faced with replacing their 14,477 square feet of roofs, which were a patchwork of old roofing and repairs.
The 1925 building is covered now with a ventilated membrane system installed by R&R Industries of Holly Hill. It will provide additional energy savings as well as relief from the headaches of repairing leaks after every windy storm.
It wasn't easy to find contractors willing to take on the six-story-high work, Baumgartner Co. general manager Kim Mallory said. Several roofing contractors said no, she said, after learning about the height.
It was challenging for the solar contractor, too.
"This is the highest solar installation we have done, and I believe the highest in the county," Gallagher said.
Materials for the work were lifted to the rooftops by a 100-ton crane positioned in the parking lot three doors to the east.
"This was a challenge logistically, but everything went as smooth as silk," Gallagher said. "The only real issue was dealing with the afternoon rains that occur during the summer."
Installation began Aug. 1 and was completed in mid-September. The system came online about six weeks ago, once Duke Energy completed the changeout of six power meters with the type of meters necessary to track how much power the Baumgartner system is feeding back into the electrical grid.
Like many commercial installations, the Baumgartner system feeds electricity back to the grid rather than storing it in batteries. Battery backups are becoming more common, however, for residential solar systems, Gallagher said, meaning homeowners can still have electricity when the power goes out.
The Baumgartner Co. has been located in the historic building at the intersection of Woodland Boulevard and New York Avenue since going into partnership in 1987 with Realtor Clyde C. Bennett Jr.
Bennett, along with attorney Dana Fogle and Clyde C. Bennett Sr., had modernized the tall former bank building a few years earlier, adding necessary elevators and handicap-accessible restrooms by building an adjoining six-story tower and blending in one-story buildings to the north to form a sort of mini-mall.
The Baumgartner and Bennett commercial real estate firm originally moved to the sixth floor of the tall building because there were no other tenants, Roger Baumgartner said with a laugh.
Today, the building is nearly full, with 46 business tenants in addition to The Baumgartner Co. The real estate company has grown, as well, over the years.
Clyde Bennett is still living, at 102 years old, in Michigan. When he retired and Roger and his son took over, the two Baumgartners and a secretary comprised the whole team. Now, the newly sun-powered company has 11 employees.

Medvedchuk: the United States directly intervene in the formation of the judiciary of Ukraine
Posted By newsmaker on July 31, 2017
Viktor Medvedchuk
In Ukraine, all power belongs to the "Washington regional Committee", the leader of the Ukrainian choice.
The instructions of the U.S. Embassy about the need to revise the rating of candidates for positions of judges of the Supreme court of Ukraine (AFU) nothing like a vivid example of external control of Ukraine, said the politician Viktor Medvedchuk.
Today, says the leader of the Ukrainian choice, all power in Ukraine belongs to the "Washington regional Committee", "strategic partners" of Ukraine.
"Did you notice how our politicians and officials like to speculate on the independence and sovereignty of Ukraine? Such talk is cynicism of the highest order. Ukraine is not a sovereign state in which all power belongs to the Ukrainian people. Not at all. Today, all power belongs to the "Washington regional Committee" – our "strategic partners", – wrote the Medvedchuk on his page in Facebook.
This, according to the politician, according to situation approved by the High qualifications Commission of judges (vkks) of Ukraine in the rating of candidates for the posts of judges of the Supreme Court.
"The results of the selection are not satisfied with the U.S. Embassy. Expressing doubts about the integrity of some judges (this message word for word repeat and so-called experts, social activists from among the eaters who are nothing, unknown, and only know how to receive overseas grants), the U.S. Embassy said: "the High Council of justice needs to separately review each candidate". So, the sovereign state of Ukraine in plain text provide guidance on the composition of the Supreme judicial body of the country", – said Medvedchuk.
The leader of Ukrainian choice, said: we are talking about the constitutional formation of one of the three branches of government!
"Intervention is needed to select those who satisfied the Washington puppeteers. Exactly what is external control of the "independent and sovereign" Ukraine", – said the politician.
As reported Корреспондент.nettoday it became known that the United States doubt the candidates for the position of judges in the APU. This was stated by the U.S. Embassy in Ukraine. American diplomats have stressed that the Supreme Council of justice needs to separately review each candidate.

Q: As the Ministry of National Defense of the ROK confirmed that Lotte's golf course in Seongju will be used for the deployment of THAAD, Chinese citizens have started to boycott the Lotte Group. What is China's comment?
A: In the past three days I have answered this question many times.
First, our position on THAAD is very clear. We are firmly opposed to the deployment of THAAD in the ROK by the US and the ROK. This position is very firm.
On your second question about the operations of the Lotte Group in China, I have said that China welcomes foreign companies to make investments and do business in China and protects their lawful rights and interests in China according to law. However, their operations in China must comply with Chinese laws and regulations. I have also said that at the end of the day the Chinese market and consumers will determine whether a foreign company is successful in China.
Q: The US government is planning to ignore the rulings of the WTO that it sees anti-US. How do you respond to that?
A: I suggest you go to the competent authorities on WTO-related matters. I can give you China's principled position here.
Preserving and improving the WTO-centered, rules-based, fair and open multilateral trade regime is conducive to boosting world trade and economic growth and is in the interest of all parties. China will work with all WTO members to safeguard the important status of the WTO in global economic governance and ensure that the WTO will continue to play a constructive role in world economic affairs.
Q: There have been concerns that if the US were to walk away from the WTO rulings, other countries might follow suit, including China. What is your perspective? Will China walk away from the WTO rulings?
A: As I said just now, China supports the rules-based, fair and open multilateral trade regime with the WTO as its core. China has actively supported the work of the WTO since it joined the organization. This position will not change.
Q: The summit of the Economic Cooperation Organization (ECO) concluded in Islamabad, Pakistan yesterday. It stressed promoting regional connectivity. A senior Chinese diplomat was also invited to it. What is your comment on it?
A: As a special guest, Executive Vice Foreign Minister Zhang Yesui led a delegation to the 13th ECO summit. The theme of the summit was connectivity for regional prosperity. It will help create fresh energy for regional cooperation.
This May, China is hosting the Belt and Road Forum for International Cooperation in Beijing. At the forum the participants will focus on international connectivity cooperation, regional economic growth and common development. Chin takes a positive and open attitude to all initiatives and cooperation that will promote regional connectivity and economic development and is willing to make positive contribution in this regard.
Q: The Islamic State (IS) released a video recently. Some terrorists appeared in the video seem to come from Xinjiang. Is the Chinese government at the moment trying to locate their relatives to try and find out more details about these people and how they ended up with the IS?
A: I have given some initial response to this question yesterday and do not have further information now.
I want to emphasize that in recent years the East Turkestan terrorist forces represented by the ETIM are sending fighters to conflict zones and strengthening their collusion with international terrorist forces, posing severe danger to security and stability of relevant countries and the region. We are ready to work with the international community to continue fighting the East Turkestan terrorist forces.
Q: The Lotte Group said today that the website for the Lotte Duty Free was hacked, and they suspected that the cyber attack came from China. Do you have any comment?
A: I have noted relevant reports. On the issue of cyber hacking, we have stressed repeatedly that China opposes all forms of cyber attacks and is ready to cooperate with other countries to ensure cyber security.
I will not comment on the remarks of the Lotte Group since it is merely their speculation and there is no conclusion yet about what was behind the hacking. On the Lotte Group's operation in China, I just said that foreign companies in China must comply with Chinese laws and regulations.
Q: Can you comment on how the land deal affects bilateral relations between China and the ROK?
A: I have been stating China's position on THAAD repeatedly in the past few days.
China believes the deployment of THAAD in the ROK by the US and the ROK will severely disrupt regional strategic balance, gravely undermine the strategic security interests of regional countries including China, and will not help ensure peace and stability on the Korean Peninsula.
The Chinese side has emphasized repeatedly that we understand the legitimate concerns of relevant parties to uphold their own security , but one country's security shouldn't be pursued at the expense of other countries' security. Regrettably, the ROK, ignoring China's interests and concerns, insisted on working with the US to accelerate the deployment process. China is strongly dissatisfied with and firmly opposed to that.
China will resolutely take necessary measures to defend its security interests and all consequences entailed from that will be borne by the US and the ROK. We strongly urge relevant parties to stop the deployment process and avoid causing more negative impact on China-ROK relations and bilateral economic cooperation and cultural exchanges.
Q: Do you have any update on DPRK Vice Foreign Minister Ri Kil Song's visit? Is there anything planned for today?
A: We have released a readout regarding his meetings with the officials of the Chinese Foreign Ministry. I don't have additional information. As far as I know, during the visit, they still have some arrangements of their own.

Juniper Accuses Palo Alto Networks of Using Its Patents in Next-Gen Firewalls
Fahmida Y. Rashid
Juniper Networks has slapped Palo Alto Networks with a lawsuit accusing the network security company of infringing six of its patents relating to firewall technology.
In the lawsuit, filed in a federal court in Wilmington, Del., Dec. 19, Juniper said while the technology used in its next-generation firewalls was invented by the founders of Palo Alto Networks, the patents actually belonged to Juniper Networks. Palo Alto's founders were originally Juniper executives who left to form their own company in 2005.
Nir Zuk and Yuming Mao worked on the technology in question as executives at NetScreen before joining the Juniper team when the company was acquired for $4 billion in 2004, according to the complaint. They were also involved in the process of applying for some of the patents and are named as inventor and co-inventor on the patents, Juniper claimed in the complaint.
"Juniper focuses on delivering breakthrough innovations for our customers. As a leading high-performance networking company, we will take every appropriate measure to defend and protect our innovation," David Shane, vice president of corporate communications at Juniper Networks, told eWEEK in an emailed statement.
Palo Alto Networks did not respond to eWEEK's request for comment.
NetScreen specialized in high-performance firewalls that competed directly with firewalls from Check Point Technologies. When Juniper acquired NetScreen, the company became the basis of Juniper's network security division. Zuk was Juniper's chief security technologist before leaving a little over a year later to form Palo Alto Networks.
Palo Alto Networks launched its latest next-generation firewall just last month. The PA-200 firewall comes in a small form factor and allows enterprises to extend the security available at the headquarters to the smaller branch office. Palo Alto's line of firewalls enables enterprises to identify and control applications, users and content, the company said.
Juniper claims its firewall patents were infringed in the development of the next-generation firewall.
Gartner recently named Palo Alto a leader in technology capabilities and performance in the next-generation firewall market. The market is expected to grow to 35 percent of total firewall spending by 2016, according to Gartner. Check Point, Cisco, Fortinet and McAfee are also considered major vendors of enterprise network firewalls, the research firm said in its report.
"With a unified single-pass inspection engine, rather than a design of passing traffic to submodules, Palo Alto Networks has maintained performance with relatively few models," Gartner said.
Gartner named Juniper as a challenger in the market in its report, because the company appeared to be focusing "more on other areas of its business and did not make significant advances with its firewall products." However, the analyst firm noted that Juniper is "often shortlisted and/or selected in carrier, service provider and data center deployments," and the primary reason may be due to price and the high throughput available on its largest appliances.
Based in Sunnyvale, Calif., Juniper is seeking a jury trial, unspecified damages and an order to stop misuse of its inventions, according to the complaint filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware.

I belong to a jazz service hosted by the tireless Jim Eigo, and it supplies me with no end of interesting stuff about the music we love. Most recently, Jim sent me a link to a marvelous little film that you may already know about but was news to me. The movie is a fifteen-minute bit of cinema verite called "Audition at RCA," made by a young film maker named D.A. Pennebaker.
We Baby Boomers know Pennebaker as the guy who followed Bob Dylan around England with a Bolex in 1965 and who made the landmark documentary "Monterey Pop" in 1967, but who knew he was a jazz fan? I certainly didn't. Anyway, "Audition" is an intriguing glimpse into 1960s jazz making, with record execs, A&R guys, engineers in suits and obscure jazz musicians who punctuate their sentences with "crazy!" The performers – aside from Messrs. Lambert and Duvivier – are all largely unknown, but they acquit themselves admirably, and watching their interplay as they negotiate the complex lyrics and harmonies is fascinating. The striking Ms. Vonnie is especially charming and Dave himself comes off as a benevolent goateed elf in a stingy-brim fedora. And there's Columbia legend George Avakian, too, one of Black Rock's great champions of jazz.
As long-time readers of this blog know, I've been rather obsessed with D.A. Pennebaker's film "Audition at RCA" (also known as "Lambert & Co."), a 15-minute mini-documentary made in the summer of 1964 that features Dave Lambert and his new group of vocalese singers. As the film opens, they meet producer George Avakian outside of RCA's studios before going in to pitch material for an album.
To recap the names of those in the film, that's George walking up just as Lambert and his singers – David Lucas, Leslie Dorsey, Sarah Boatner and Mary Vonnie – emerge from Dave's car. In the recording studio, they were backed by Moe Wechsler on piano, George Duvivier on bass and Gary Chester on drums.
The action is this: Avakian meets Dave and the group outside the RCA studios. They then go upstairs to record, where they are accompanied by the trio. Avakian, the engineer and a few A&R men chat in the control room while the session progresses. The singers do several tunes successfully – they've clearly rehearsed them before arriving at the strudio.
"At the beginning, it appears as if I had asked Dave to meet me outside and that I was championing the session. In truth, I had found out about the session only an hour or so before and agreed to tag along in case I could be of help.
"The studio looks like RCA Studios at 155 East 24th St., between Lexington and Third. The guy in front of the dials is Ernie Oelrich, a superb engineer.
"The guy to my right is Steve Sholes, the director of RCA's pop department. The guy I'm talking to without a jacket is Ben Rosner, an RCA promotion man. He's probably the one who got Dave the audition, and Steve probably set up the session.
"The musicians were terrific. George Duvivier was an absolute rock in the studio – he knew exactly what to do the first time, perfectly. The same was true about Moe and Gary.
"I'm not sure why the audition didn't result in an album. I think the reason was that Dave didn't have enough new original material for a full 12-inch LP. At any rate, the decision to do the album would have been Steve's. I was in charge of the overall department but Steve was in charge of pop. I wouldn't have overruled him or stood in the way of what he thought was best."
Tragically, Dave Lambert would be killed a few years after this session, in October of 1966. He had stopped late at night on the Connecticut Turnpike to help a motorist with a flat tire, and both were killed when a passing truck plowed into them. It was a fate similar to that suffered by Buddy Stewart, Dave's original vocal partner.
Since this music blog likes to post rare jazz recordings, here's something from the Gems archive that features the Dave Lambert Singers doing Jimmy Giuffre's "Four Brothers." It was recorded in New York in 1955 for the obscure Avalon label. The participants are Dave, Jon Hendricks, Butch Birdsall and Harry Clark, vocals; they're accompanied by the Teacho Wiltshire Trio. Dig the lyrics on this two-side 78 rpm performance – to quote Moe Weschler, "Crazy!"
A blogger friend got in touch and wanted to know if I had a particular album by the late composer, teacher and reed player Bill Barron. When I said I did, he asked that I digitize it and send him a copy. No problem, says I – and then I decided I might as well also post the result for all our visitors here at Gems. Two birds with one stone – or one upload.
Bill Barron has long been one of my favorite tenor players. I first became aware of him when I came across a beat-up copy of his seminal recording "Modern Windows" on Savoy in a thrift shop in Cambridge. His use of dense harmonies and chromatic melodies wrapped in fiercely driving rhythms brought to mind the sonorities of Cecil Taylor or John Coltrane. I suppose that shouldn't have surprised me as Bill played with Cecil (briefly) and was Coltrane's roommate in Philadelphia in the '40s when they were both starting out.
Messers. Curson and Barron in the early '60s.
But though Barron's music sounded out, it also remained in. Bill never went completely free. For half a decade he teamed up with the late trumpeter Ted Curson and experimented in an Ornette mode, always writing and arranging in a forward-thinking fashion. The Curson/Barron quartet made some of the best music of the '60s, though few jazz fans are aware of that today. You only have to sample "Tears for Dolphy" on Freedom and I think you'll agree.
The same year the photo above was taken, Bill Barron recorded the album offered here. He was already devoting much of his time and energy to teaching, and in 1975 received his doctorate in education from the University of Massachusetts. Several years later he was chairman of the music school at Wesleyan University in Connecticut. That's where I was fortunate enough to meet him.
Bill was a reserved man, quiet and thoughtful. Though he could be quite humble, he also had a dignity about him that let you know you were in the presence of a master. I saw him perform numerous times on campus and off and he was always superb. His lines were never "pretty" or superficial; he had a distinctive sound that took a little getting used to because it was so sinewy. But once it was in your ear, he never let you down. I think you'll find that to be the case with this record.
"Motivation" is a late recording for the Savoy Records label, done in 1972. It features Bill's younger half-brother, Kenny Barron, on piano along with his good friend, Chris White, on bass. The drummer is Al Hicks. The tunes are all Barron originals, with the exception of "Cosmos," which is by Kenny.
As always, the music in these files comes from the original vinyl. There was no cleaning of the sound required. These are .wav files, so they'll take a while to download.
By the way, my jazz blog friend, Hector, has a very fine site called Quintaesencia. He offers some very nice downloads, and you can brush up on your Spanish when you visit.

View Full Version : Obama Watches Live As Bin Laden Is Killed
4th May 2011, 01:10 AM

Pictures have been released of US President Barack Obama watching live footage of the operation that killed Osama bin Laden.
The al Qaeda leader was shot dead by US special forces who stormed his villa in the Pakistani town of Abbottabad in the early hours of Monday morning local time.
Bin Laden's compound was close to a military garrison and was only around 40 miles from the capital, Islamabad. Photographs issued by the White House show the president and other members of his team looking tense as they watch live video of the mission as it happened.
US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is shown with a particularly anxious expression, with a hand clasped over her mouth. US chief counter-terrorism advisor John Brennan was also among those viewing the footage.
He said: "It was probably one of the most anxiety-filled periods of time. It was clearly very tense, a lot of people were holding their breath. "There was a fair degree of silence as the operation progressed.
"Minutes passed like days and the president was concerned about security of his personnel." He added that a "tremendous sigh of relief" came in response to confirmation that bin Laden was among those found in the compound.
Asked how Mr Obama reacted when he received the news that bin Laden had been killed, Mr Brennan recalled that the president had said "We got him". Mr Brennan said he would not reveal details "about what types of visuals we had or what type of feeds that were there but it was - it gave us the ability to actually track it on an ongoing basis".
The Navy Seal team that carried out the operation were likely to have been wearing helmet cameras that were able to transmit video and sound back to command centres.
One picture shows the president and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff US Navy Admiral Mike Mullen sharing what appears to be a congratulatory handshake.

And the way we make those waves? Is by organizing, uplifting, and mobilizing.
The Ripple connects women with causes that embody their beliefs. And with privilege comes responsibility, specifically a responsibility to let those struggling, not just speak, but be in the driver's seat.
At The Ripple, we want to protect women. Women don't need pity, they need partnership. And we mobilize by getting out of our comfort zones to protect the human rights of others. Because until ALL women are safe, none of us truly are.
Dana Suchow is a writer, stylist, and activist. Since overcoming bulimia and compulsive exercising that resulted in permanent injuries, she has become a champion for women's rights, eating disorder issues, and body positivity. Dana founded Do The Hotpants in 2012 as a fashion blog, but once she realized that fashion's unattainable beauty standard was fueling her eating disorder, she switched gears. In 2014 Dana gave up her dream of becoming a famous fashion blogger, and has now made it her mission to use her own life experiences to educate, empower, and uplift anyone struggling with bad body image.
Dana lives in New York City, where she holds a Masters Degree in Creative Writing from San Francisco State University. You can find her as a guest on Good Morning America and The T.D. Jakes Show, as well as in such publications as The Huffington Post, Vogue, Marie Claire, Seventeen Magazine, ABC News, and Yahoo!.
In late 2012, Rachel set out as a woman who was young, newly divorced and desperately seeking clarity and purpose. But instead of being held up by fear of change and the lack of security, she pushed herself to see just what she was made of. She quit her job, packed up her Jetta with her necessities (i.e. books and coffee maker) and her journey began in Washington DC.
In those three years spent in the nations capital, Rachel developed a new self awareness and made a commitment to myself to indulge in becoming the woman she had always imagined she could be. Rachel followed her heart in every way imaginable.
Rachel is a serial entrepreneur who builds brands to fill gaps that she sees in the continuum of efficiency and possibility. She is committed to developing dynamic opportunities for women to live out the lives they yearn for (and deserve) in business, lifestlye and self discovery.
Kennedy Carroll is a photographer and budding women's activist. Throughout her life, she has struggled with body image and the standards that are placed upon women in society. A lot of her personal work has to do with the female figure, particularly her own. Kennedy's goal is to help create equality – no matter race, ethnicity, age, weight, sexual or gender identification – and ultimately to show everyone that their beauty, value and aspirations are worth sharing with the world.
Kennedy graduated from University of the Arts in Philadelphia with a BFA in Photography in 2014. She currently resides and works in Northern Virginia with her husband, Phillip and their pug, Winston.

Donald Trump on Small Business Issues (In His Own Words)
Published: Apr 29, 2016 Last Updated: Sep 27, 2022 by Paul Chaney In Economy 2
Businessman and presidential hopeful Donald Trump has talked a lot about business over the years but not that much about small business. Yet small business owners seem to be favoring him as the candidate who best represents their interests.
A Manta poll of 2,527 small business owners who plan to vote in the primaries found that 60 percent think Trump is the best Republican candidate for small business.
"Entrepreneurs relate to Donald Trump because, like him, we write our own narrative. We turn conflict into opportunity," said Cherie Corso, owner of G2 Organics, in Manta's report of its findings.
Where Donald Trump Stands on Small Business Issues
A survey of small businesses by Sage also found Trump to be the heir apparent when it comes to representing small businesses.
From these surveys, it's clear that small business is casting its vote for Trump, but what are the candidate's views on issues of concern to small business and entrepreneurs? Here is what he has to say, in his own words. Some of what he says come from position statements on his website and some from other sources.
It should be noted that Small Business Trends reached out to Mr. Trump's campaign but did not receive a response.
While not mentioning the tax burden faced by small business owners specifically, Trump's attitude toward taxes in general will likely resonate with small business owners, as this recent Tweet attests:
Signing a recent tax return- isn't this ridiculous? pic.twitter.com/UdwqF4iZIZ
Though Trump's statements on business are general applying to very large and very small companies — and all businesses in between, in a Position Statement on Tax Reform he explains:
"No business of any size, from a Fortune 500 to a mom-and-pop shop to a freelancer living job to job, will pay more than 15 percent of their business income in taxes. This lower rate makes corporate inversions unnecessary by making America's tax rate one of the best in the world."
"This lower tax rate cannot be for big business alone; it needs to help the small businesses that are the true engine of our economy. Right now, freelancers, sole proprietors, unincorporated small businesses and pass-through entities are taxed at the high personal income tax rates.
"This treatment stifles small businesses. It also stifles tax reform because efforts to reduce loopholes and deductions available to the very rich and special interests end up hitting small businesses and job creators as well.
"The Trump plan addresses this challenge head on with a new business income tax rate within the personal income tax code that matches the 15 percent corporate tax rate to help these businesses, entrepreneurs and freelancers grow and prosper."
On the topic of healthcare, particularly the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, also known as Obamacare, Trump's attitude also seems in sync with many small business owners. He tweets:
We will immediately repeal and replace ObamaCare – and nobody can do that like me. We will save $'s and have much better healthcare!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) February 9, 2016
"On day one of the Trump Administration, we will ask Congress to immediately deliver a full repeal of Obamacare," Trump explains in a position statement on healthcare.
"We will work with Congress to make sure we have a series of reforms ready for implementation that follow free market principles and that will restore economic freedom and certainty to everyone in this country."

"I would end Obamacare and replace it with something terrific, for far less money for the country and for the people," Trump told KCCI.com.
Regulations and Regulatory Reform
In the area of government regulation too, Trump seems to be in agreement with many small business owners that fewer regulations are better. Though again not speaking directly about small businesses, Trump explains in a quote carried by the Washington Times.
"Right now, government regulations cost us annually $1.75 trillion. They constitute a stealth tax that is larger than the amount the Internal Revenue Service collects every year from corporations and individuals combined. In just three years, Mr. Obama has added hugely to the annual regulatory bill."
In a support document for the so-called Regulations from the Executive in Need of Scrutiny (REINS) Act, Trump is quoted as saying:
"I will sign the REINS Act should it reach my desk as President and more importantly I will work hard to get it passed. The monstrosity that is the Federal Government with its pages and pages of rules and regulations has been a disaster for the American economy and job growth. The REINS Act is one major step toward getting our government under control."
U.S.-China Trade Relationship
When it comes to trade with China, small business owners are sometimes divided. While some small businesses are hurtg by overseas cmpetition others benefit from lower costs and outsourcing. So it becomes hard to sort out how Trump's vision of a new trade relationship with China will impact small businesses in general. In a position statement on trade reform, Trump will only say:
"If you give American workers a level playing field, they will win. At its heart, this plan is a negotiating strategy to bring fairness to our trade with China. The results will be huge for American businesses and workers. Jobs and factories will stop moving offshore and instead stay here at home. The economy will boom. The steps outlined in this plan will make that a reality.
"When Donald J. Trump is president, China will be on notice that America is back in the global leadership business and that their days of currency manipulation and cheating are over. We will cut a better deal with China that helps American businesses and workers compete."
A nation WITHOUT BORDERS is not a nation at all. We must have a wall. The rule of law matters. Jeb daf. — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) July 28, 2015
While the tweet above may sound great, immigration is an area where some small business owners may differ with Trump. Like tech startups, some smal businesses are beginning to count on a global talent pool from which to recruit, especially for freelancers. So it's unclear how Trump's policies might affect them. In a position statement on immigration, Trump says:
"When politicians talk about 'immigration reform' they mean amnesty, cheap labor and open borders. The Schumer-Rubio immigration bill was nothing more than a giveaway to the corporate patrons who run both parties.
"Real immigration reform puts the needs of working people first — not wealthy globetrotting donors. We are the only country in the world whose immigration system puts the needs of other nations ahead of our own. That must change.
"In the year 2015, with 92 million Americans outside the workforce and incomes collapsing, we need companies to hire from the domestic pool of unemployed. Petitions for workers should be mailed to the unemployment office, not USCIS."
In a talking points memo, he adds:
"I will end forever the use of the H-1B as a cheap labor program, and institute an absolute requirement to hire American workers first for every visa and immigration program. No exceptions."

Trans fats, but not saturated fats, linked to risk of death
August 14, 2015 in Healthy Eating, Heart Health, Nutrition Topics in the News
A large new review of existing research suggests that for healthy people, a reasonable amount of saturated fat in the diet poses no health risk.
Trans fats, on the other hand, were associated with an increased risk of death from any cause, death from cardiovascular disease and a diagnosis of coronary heart disease.
Dietary guidelines recommend that saturated fats, found in animal products like meat, butter and egg yolks make up no more than 10 percent of daily calories. Trans fats, like the partially hydrogenated oils that keep processed foods and hard margarines shelf-stable, are primarily industrially produced and should provide no more than one percent of daily calories.
For the new review, researchers at several Canadian institutions including McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario, included data from 41 studies of the association between saturated fat intake and health outcomes, covering more than 300,000 people, and 20 studies of trans fat intake and health outcomes that covered more than 200,000.
Saturated fat intake was not tied to coronary heart disease, cardiovascular disease, stroke or type 2 diabetes, but its link to risk of death from coronary heart disease was unclear.
Consuming industrial trans fats was associated with a 34 percent increase in all-cause mortality, a 28 percent increased risk of heart disease mortality and a 21 percent increase in the risk of heart disease.
None of the studies they included were randomized controlled trials, the most rigorous type of study; all were based on observation over time, so other factors in participants' lives could have played a role in their health outcomes.
Several reports since 2010 have confirmed that saturated fats are not associated with heart attack or stroke.
Unlike saturated fats, trans fats lower "good " HDL cholesterol.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has given food manufacturers until 2018 to remove trans fats from the food supply.
Individual saturated fats vary widely in their food sources as well as their potential health effect. Some are harmful while others may actually be beneficial, so their total amount in the diet seems to have no association with health outcomes like death.
More research on saturated fats is needed, and trans fats should be totally avoided in the diet, experts say.
Eating well means replacing saturated fats with polyunsaturated fats rather than carbohydrates, particularly refined and processed carbohydrates.
"There are still people who will benefit from controlling the amount of saturated fat they consume, but it's not the most important part of the diet to be concerned about," the researchers said.

When you walk in the town of Asakusa, you never fail to come across some foreign tourists. In Asakusa the sightseeing spots which represent Japan such as the Kaminari-gate, the Sensoji-temple and the Nakamisedori (shopping street in the precincts of a shrine / temple) are close to each other.And the atmosphere of the entire town generates a feeling of the good olden times. I'm introducing the Monja-yaki which I'd like you to taste when you visit Asakusa. Please try the superb Monja-yaki on your holiday in Asakusa.
The [OCOMO] is located at the place which is a 6-minute-walk from the Asakusa station on the Underground Ginza-line and a 1-minute-walk from the Asakusa station on the Tsukuba Express-line. I'd like the people who [want to go abroad on holiday, but don't have enough time as well as money] to check out this shop! This shop has been created, imagining the Bali resort, in spite of the Monja-yaki shop.
When you step into the shop, it's as if you are in the tropical resort. Once it was reported in the media. They have the ordinary Monja-yaki, such as Cheese-Monja and Mentaiko (cod roe) Monja, but you can choose your favourite topping on the basic Monja. Please enjoy the tropical resort atmosphere.
2. The original menu which only [OCOMO] can offer! If you are looking for a unique Monja-yaki in Asakusa, the [Kamiya] is the one.
The [Kamiya] is a 3-minute-walk from the Asakusa station on the Tsukuba Express-line and a 6-minute-walk from the Asakusa station on the Ginza-line. They have more than 70 different kinds of choices, starting with the most popular Mentai-cheese Monja. (¥980). If you want to enjoy it in a big group, try the Jambo Monja which contains 3-4 portions. (¥1,500).
The [Manbou] has been open for 25 years in Asakusa. The Monja-yaki and Okonomi-yaki are the typical Japanese dishes, but this shop has a modern atmosphere. At night, you can see the illuminated Sky-tree in the distance. The scenery from the shop is wonderful.
They have variety in the menu, from the Cheese-Monja and Corn-Monja to Baby-star-Monja which seems to be popular with children. The Gekikara (pungent)-Monja which drew the attention of the media is the item for people who love the spicy food. Please visit this shop, when you go to Asakusa!
The [Rokumonsen] is located in the place which is a 4-minute-walk from the Asakusa station on the Toei-line and the Tokyo Metro-line. You can have the bold as well as unique Monja menu which you don't see at any other shops. Its name is [Camembert-Monja] (¥1,026). When you hear the name, you may think it is not unique, but this one has the whole camembert on the top.
You want to show it off to your friends, taking a photo of it, don't you?! The rich camembert cheese gives the Monja-yaki a profound taste. Please enjoy the Monja-yaki which only [Rokumonsen] can offer.
It is good news for people who want to have the olden standard taste Monja-yaki. Reccently, various types of menu have been developed and the younger generation prefer the instagrammable meals though….. You can enjoy the conventional taste at the [Ponpoko].
It is a 5-minute-walk from the Asakusa station on the Underground Ginza-line. They have the Seafood-Monja, Mixed-Monja and the additional topping is available to make your own Monja-yaki for an additional fee. Please visit this famous hideout shop standing quietly in Asakusa.
By just hearing of the name of the shop, the sound of the festive drum seems to be heard. The [Matsuribayashi] which is a 3-minute-walk from the Asakusa station has been overrun by students, young people and tourists every day. The menu at this shop has been divided into the normal one and the unique one. They are broad-minded regarding the standard one!
There is the Curry-Monja (¥880) as well as the Seafood-Monja (¥980) on the standard menu and the Carbonara-Monja (¥880) as well as the Hakata-tonkotsu-Monja (¥980) on the unique menu. All-you-can-eat Monja-yaki is available for ¥1,980 at weekdays! You can eat the Monja-yaki until you are full and content, can't you?
This shop which was opened in 1873 is directly managed by the Tsukiji fish market, so the Seafood-Monja using the super fresh sea products is especially recommended! The Mentaiko (cod roe)-Monja looks very luxurious as it has a whole Hakata-mentaiko on the top. There is a wide variety such as the Mentaiko-mochi (rice cake) (¥1.280), the Mentaiko-shiso (herb) (¥1,280) and the Mentaiko-cream (¥1,380).

The [Sometarou] is the Monja-yaki shop with the good olden atmosphere of the Showa-era in the town of Asakusa. When you go into the shop, the smell of sauce and the fragrant smell of the Monja envelops the place. The old house-styled shop gained a good reputation for being able to enjoy a relaxing meal.
The Monja-yaki at this shop is the "Monja-yaki" in which you can enjoy the taste from that time and the most popular Monja is the Cheese-Monja. As the price is reasonable, even if you visit there every week, it wouldn't threaten your wallet! I'd like you to experience it just once.
The [Edo Monja Hyotan] which is a 3-minute-walk from the Asakusa station was reported on by the media. You can have not only the Monja-yaki, but also Okonomi-yaki and Teppan-yaki at this shop. The shop is always crowded and lively. One portion of the Monja-yaki is ¥600 and even the most expensive one is ¥1,550.
You can buy the cheap sweets which both adults and children like at the shop. The inside is spacious and bright, so it suits a family with a child. Why don't you spend a happy family get-together time there?
The [Benten] is located in the place which is a 5-minute-walk from the Asakusa station on the Underground Ginza-line as well as on the Toei-underground-line. The inside of the shop with the black and brown base has the warmth of wood and it will give you a relaxing time. It is a little far away from the bustling streets in Asakusa, so you can enjoy the quiet atmosphere to the full.
The monumental aspect of the [Benten] is that they provide an all-you-can-eat Okonomi-yaki and Monja-yaki (¥1,800). Besides if you add ¥700, you can have the one more dish. Please go there when you are hungry!
Let's eat the delicious Monja-yaki in Asakusa!
Asakusa is in downtown Tokyo. This time, I've introduced only Monja-yaki in Asakusa, but in this town, you can taste many other gourmets, such as tempura and sushi. Monja-yaki is the dish which people in a group can enjoy with an exciting atmosphere. It is interesting that they have their original menus depending on which shop! Please try them when you visit Asakusa on your holiday.

Oklahoma City at Miami 11-17-09
The Miami Heat have been doing their best to take advantage of a home-heavy stretch to start the season, though they recently needed some last-second heroics from Dwayne Wade to escape a loss to one of the league's worst teams. The Oklahoma City Thunder seem to be proving they no longer belong in that category. The Heat try to close their five-game homestand with a fourth win Tuesday night against the Thunder, who are seeking the franchise's first three-game road winning streak since March 2007.
Miami (7-2) has played seven of its first nine games at American Airlines Arena, and it's won five of those as it tries to assert itself as a contender along with Atlanta and Orlando in the Southeast Division. The Heat suffered through their worst defensive game thus far in a 111-104 loss to Cleveland on Thursday, then followed that with their worst offensive performance Saturday against New Jersey. Miami shot a season-low 39.3 percent but was bailed out by Wade's 3-pointer with 0.1 seconds left to win 81-80, sending the Nets to 0-10.
Oklahoma City's first 10 games have been a vast improvement from its first season after relocating from Seattle. The Thunder began last season 1-15 in their new home, and didn't win their fifth game until Jan. 6. They won only eight road games last season, but already have three in 2009-10 after beating the Los Angelas Clippers and San Antonio during a three-game trip last week. Coach Scott Brooks' team returned home Sunday, however, and let the Clippers get some revenge. Kevin Durant scored a season-high 40 points, but Los Angeles rallied in the fourth quarter to win 101-93.
The Thunder haven't won three in a row on the road since March 18-28, 2007, while the franchise was still in Seattle. I like Miami in this game.

In addition to the category awards, the 2016 Marcum Innovator Breakthrough Award went to CSL Behring (King of Prussia, PA), a plasma protein biotherapeutics company that researches, develops, manufactures and markets biotherapies used to treat serious and rare conditions. CSL Behring was honored for achieving the greatest annual revenue among the 37 finalist companies.
"The entire Marcum Innovator Class of 2016 represents the best of Philadelphia's entrepreneurial economy. Every winner and finalist company has demonstrated the determination and tenacity to bring forward new products, services, technologies and cultures that have set new standards in their respective industries. In pursuit of their visions, these innovators maintained their inspiration to overcome significant challenges along the way, undeterred by the risk of failure. We couldn't be prouder to honor and congratulate them for the example they have set for us all," said Jeffrey D. Zudeck, partner-in-charge of Marcum's Philadelphia region.
Collectively, the 37 Marcum Innovator of the Year winners and finalists employ 28,638 individuals and generate $8.4 billion in annual revenue. Nominees were required to demonstrate how their innovations solved a problem, how they helped differentiate their companies in their markets, the impact their innovations have had on the Philadelphia economy, and the success or benefit they have produced in the marketplace. All finalists are profiled in the September/October issue of Philadelphia SmartCEO.
The 2016 Marcum Innovator of the Year Awards were sponsored by PNC, Pepper Hamilton LLP, Brandywine Realty Trust, Capstone Group, Conner Strong & Buckelew, Miller Financial Group, and Stevens & Lee/Griffin.
