Modest, unassuming, but extraordinary in all respects, Sunita Williams is one of the many descendants of Slovenians who went abroad to realise their dreams. However, the dreams of the parents have been fulfilled primarily by their children, Sunita being one of them. This year, she visited Slovenia for the second time. She also visited the Ministry of Defence. She presented her outstanding achievements, which are plenty, to Slovenians. Nobody was left indifferent.
Today, Sunita is the Director of Operations Russia in the Star City near Moscow. In that capacity, she runs an office which provides all the logistics for the US, European, Japanese and Canadian crewmembers training in Star City and who are preparing to go to space.

How did work and book of Herman Potočnik Noordung The Problem of Space Travel - The Rocket Motor from 1928 influenced the development of space traveling and living in space?
I can't exactly tell you from a historical perspective, but I am sure it was a huge influence on the first individuals who designed spacecraft. As a visionary, Noordung's influence has been realized in many rocket and space ship designers plans.
You have been in Cultural Centre of European Space Technologies in Vitanje? In your opinion how can we bring space and living in space to 'normal' people and vice versa?
Certainly! Thru the center and the work that is going on with the International Space Station, we are hoping to share the visionary ideas and the actual scientic events that are occurring to help bring the concept of space and space travel into the household of all humans. Lots of work in this field is out there for the public and one goal would certainly be to get as many people involved to tap into their new and creative ideas.
How can this center contribute to conquer the space, the universe?
The center is a great place as a museum and a center for advanced thought. The atmosphere of the place allows people to open their minds like Noordung did. Creativity and imagination is the next step in advancement. In the words of Albert Einstein, knowledge is useless without an imagination.
Would you go to the Mars? And what would you miss most?
Sure I would go to Mars. With today's technology it would be a long trip, and we have a lot of work to ensure the crews are safe from radiation and micro gravity induced issues on the human body. However, I think before long we will have the knowledge and technology to solve those problems. Advancements in propulsion will be needed to send people further out to the reaches of our solar system for sure. I think that might take a bit longer, but it WILL happen eventually. I think the things that we miss about earth and unique to earth – our air, wind, ocean, water, other living beings that we know. So, some memories of all these things of course would be important. Specifically family and a sense of connection with earth thru pictures or some media would be of high importance to me.
What are you doing at present?
As an experienced ISS, Shuttle and Soyuz crewmember, I am also part of many working groups that interact with our Russian counterparts, to include Soyuz technical support – launch, rendezvous and landing - , EVA (spacewalk), Crew equipment, clothing and food, training planning, etc. So every aspect of training and working with our Russian counterparts I seem to get involved in…funny, but it is overarching, and certainly fun, never boring.
Do you believe that there is another inhabited planet somewhere?
Absolutely. There are millions of stars in the universe that we know. Of course there has to be a star that is somewhat similar to our sun, which has planets that may possible be a distance that would sustain the atmospheric conditions to contain life. Maybe not exactly as we know it, but even here on earth we are discovering new species living in very different environments, like at the bottom of an ocean in what we considered toxic gases. So, more than likely yes.
Will Earth in 2100 still be the green planet or we will have to move?
That is a great question. I think only we can do as much as we can to sustain life here. Then of course there is always the possibility of us getting hit by some sort of asteroid that would change the landscape of the planet. Nature is by nature very balancing. When things get out of balance, it seems that generally our planet takes care of it. However very fast change from humans is tough for our planet to keep up with. I think we all must think about how we can conserve and help our planet as much as possible and possibly slow down dramatic changes that would change our atmosphere for example. If we as humans want to remain here.
What was your first impression when seeing the Earth from the space and feel the 0g?
Incredible. The planet is simply beautiful and alive and peaceful. I wonder at how lucky we are to be on this planet and how we as humans all should see this view and then I am sure we would all be nicer to each other.
What does it mean cancellation of Space shuttle program for future? Does NASA have near future plans to built new vehicle or you will rely on Russia and their transport capabilities?
NASA is building a new vehicle to hopefully take us out of low earth orbit. The space shuttle was an amazing vehicle and it was absolutely needed for us to build the International Space Station. However, we now would like to go further than low earth orbit – someplace that doesn't necessarily have a runway to land on – like the moon or Mars. So we need a vehicle that can land under a parachute or with landing jets. We are working on that future vehicle which will safely transport people further and return them. It is the next good logical step in exploration. In the meantime, our Russian counterparts are helping us out by transporting humans to the ISS. We should have commercial providers, just like the airline industry which will soon take over that function of delivering people to low earth orbit alongside the Russians.
You have been launched also with Soyuz. What was the main difference compared to space shuttle launch?
Both are essentially the same. Except the shuttle uses solid rocket booster primarily for the first stage. The Soyuz uses all liquid engines in distinct stages for each propulsion to space. However, both rides are about the same amount of time, dictated by physics and both spacecraft are made to be the home to humans in space. They have different seats, but that is primarily for the landing phase of flight.
What do you think about privat companies like SpaceX, Orbital Science Corporation?
I think they are great. With them, there will be competition for the job to take humans to low earth orbit. With competition we will have a vehicle to do that job before long. There is a lot of young, new innovation with these new companies. I love their work ethic and their enthusiasm.
How would you rate Pipistrels achievements in NASA competitions? You visited Pipistrel.
Pipistrel is a wondering company. I love that their work is so innovative. They are really guiding the way of future general aviation. Their ideas and way of working is so clean, precise and elegant. This is the way our future will advance – thru technology that is good for our planet. I had a wonderful time visiting with the folks who work at Pipstrel, and I feel they are a family. They care about each other as well as their product. Cooperation, sharing ideas is the way of the future.
What does it mean to you the medal of merit which you got from the president of Republic of Slovenia?
The award and everything that it means was totally humbling. There are so many people and events which occurred to get me into space that I can only say that the award is really for all of them too. Of course my parents are a huge influence on me, so this award is really for them. I have had the opportunity to be taught by so many amazing people from elementary school to test pilot school. This award is for them. I have also worked alongside many international partners preparing for my spaceflights, this award is also for them. I just hope I am representing all of these people, their commitment, dedication and professionalism, to merit such a great honor.
What do you think about Slovenia and Slovenians?
Slovenia and Slovenians are awesome! I love the country. I feel at home there for both of those reasons. The people are as warm and inviting as the landscape. I love the natural feel of the country and pride that the people who live there take in keeping it that way. I think Slovenians really understand what the meaning of preserving our planet is. They love and appreciate nature and love to be part of it. I am very pleased to be from a place on the planet that epitomizes these ideas and ideals.

On 20 November 2013, the International Space Station (ISS) celebrated the 15th anniversary of the launch of its first module to space. The station was jointly built by five space agencies. It is divided into the Russian and American parts, which are used by several countries. The ISS is used as a research laboratory carrying out experiments in biology, physics, meteorology and other sciences. Sunita Williams has been on the ISS twice and was the second woman to become commander of the ISS.

Grand Cayman is the largest of the Cayman Islands, a British Overseas Territory in the Caribbean. George Town is the capital and is also a major cruise-ship port and site of the ruins of Colonial Fort George. Beaches and vibrant coral reefs are the island's hallmarks. The Cayman Islands has a tropical wet and dry climate, with a wet season from May to October, and a dry season that runs from November to April. Seasonally, there is little temperature change. Grand Cayman and its sister islands, Cayman Brac and Little Cayman were discovered by Christopher Columbus in 1503. These islands boast beaches, coral reefs and an abundant marine life having so much to explore, it never ends. Being a tourist, it can be hard to select your activities when you're on a vacation timer! Not to worry, here's a quick list of things to do when in Grand Cayman.
1. Hate water? Can't Swim? Glass bottom boat Tour is what you need!
A glass-bottom boat is a boat with one or more sections of glass, or other suitable transparent material below the waterline allowing passengers to observe the underwater environment from within the boat. Imagine the site of a shipwreck without having to go in the water? The view of marine life from the comfort of your boat is now an experience you can cherish for a lifetime!
How cool is the sound of that? Rode a swimming horse before? Well now's your time. No experience is necessary to explore this ride. Well trained guides provide you with all the necessary gear and safety instructions. Take in the exquisite natural beauty of the island on this unique horse back tour. Ride along the beach or take that refreshing dip in the crystal-clear blue waters of Grand Cayman – still astride your horse!
Apart from the traditional surfing, Grand Cayman has the perfect water for paddle boarding. Stand up paddle boarders stand on their boards and use a paddle to propel themselves through the water. This is an exciting activity surprisingly inexpensive and easy to learn. SUP is a fun way to play on water with the added benefit of a full body workout! Several rental companies on island provide you with the full gear and safety instructions before you venture into your fun filled adventure!
4. Healthiest cheapest mode of transport?
Ring a bell? Sure – Bicycle it is! Ride your way through to the island's extraordinary culture even if you're here for a day! It is not only a great physical activity but also a boundless way to explore the island at your own pace. Just make sure you have the right safety gear and good bikes. 'Adventura Cayman' has some good selection of bikes and are fully equipped with just what you need on that ride!
This is only a short list of things to do if you're limited on time and don't know where to start. The island is an adventure that's worthwhile itself so have fun and just ask the experts if you need to!

Tale of two populisms: Uncertainty among New York's Indonesian student diaspora
Craig Oehlers

At an event at the Indonesian Consulate in New York in June, visiting Coordinating Minister for Maritime Affairs of Indonesia General (rtd) Luhut Binsar Pandjaitan addressed the young Indonesian university students who were among the crowd.
His message to these potential future leaders and entrepreneurs of the world's fourth most populous nation was clear – work overseas for a few years after graduation, obtain as much professional experience and knowledge, and then bring these assets back for the benefit of Indonesia.
This was not empty political rhetoric, but rather an implicit recognition of Indonesia's ongoing skills shortage – Southeast Asia's largest economy has been facing skills gaps in key sectors such as technology, tourism and engineering.
At the same time, the number of Indonesian students enrolled in educational institutions in the US has risen to almost 9,000, a 6.6 percent increase over the previous year, according to figures published by US-based International Educational Exchange. This strong growth carries the risk that some of Indonesia's best and brightest will be tempted to remain overseas indefinitely. According to Indonesia Service Dialogue Council deputy executive director IBP Angga Antagia, this is a concern as "the transfer of knowledge (from overseas) is necessary for (Indonesia's) competitiveness in the current era of globalisation."
While skills shortages are not a new phenomenon in Indonesia, the current situation facing Indonesians studying in the US is. Indonesian students in US universities have felt caught between two ideologically-opposed populist movements in the US and in Indonesia respectively.
On the one hand, the election of Donald Trump in November 2016 and the perceived anti-Muslim and anti-immigration undertones of his presidency have distressed many Indonesian students in the US, including in Trump's hometown of New York.
Daud, a Muslim postgraduate student from Jakarta studying in New York said, "When Trump first attempted to introduce the travel ban, I was on holiday in Indonesia and so I became worried that I wouldn't be allowed back into the US to finish my course."
Muslim students have not been alone in their anxieties. Stephanie, also a postgraduate student from Jakarta but raised a Catholic, said Trump's election initially made her question her pre-conceptions of the US as being a champion for human rights and women's empowerment, and hence whether she had made the right decision to study there.

At the same time, members of the Indonesian student diaspora in New York have watched with dismay the political events that have unfolded in Jakarta over the last 12 months, such as the sentencing of Jakarta Governor Basuki "Ahok" Tjahaja Purnama to two years in prison on blasphemy charges.
Students who sympathised with Ahok have perceived strong undercurrents of racial and religious intolerance in some of the demonstrations and vociferous public criticisms of him.
In particular, the prominence of hardline Islamist actors such as the Islamic Defenders Front (FPI) is viewed by some Indonesian students in New York as a potential threat to the national ideals of pancasila (Indonesia's five founding principles) and bhinneka tunggal ika (unity in diversity).
A striking commonality of the Trump campaign and the anti-Ahok movement has been the frequent use of populist tactics. Both have been accused of scapegoating minorities, encouraging religious intolerance, and exploiting fears that the elite are indifferent to the concerns of the grassroots.
Despite concerns about populist politics in both countries, there is an important difference in the minds of Indonesian students residing in New York.
From their perspective, New York is a stronghold against pockets of xenophobic nationalism elsewhere in the US. Many Indonesian students, regardless of race and religion, currently perceive New York to be a safe environment in which they can freely express their political views and criticisms without fear of recrimination or being stereotyped.

In contrast, Indonesian students of various political allegiances have felt that certain political events in Jakarta, such as the gubernatorial election in April, had been dominated by issues of race and religion at the expense of free debate about policy.
For Agnes (not her real name), an Ahok supporter who has been active among Indonesian university student groups in New York, the public discourse has become too simplistic in certain aspects.
"It has seemed (among some segments in Jakarta) that if you did not support Ahok, then the assumption was you were prejudiced or religiously intolerant… which was not necessarily true."
Fears of being stereotyped have occasionally suppressed online debate about government policies.
According to Daud, "Even educated people who I knew disagreed with some of Ahok's urban development policies wouldn't share their views online for fear (of being categorised as racist or religiously intolerant)."
Conversely, Shofi, a Muslim postgraduate student who has lived in Jakarta, has heard first-hand accounts of educated Muslim professionals in Jakarta having capitulated to pressure to vote against Ahok due to perceived religious loyalties.
These impediments to free speech, and tensions within Jakartan society, have the potential to be a disincentive for Indonesian students to return home, regardless of ethnic or religious background.
Amy, an Indonesian Chinese who grew up in Jakarta but has studied in New York for almost two years, said "my feelings on whether to remain in New York after graduation or return home have shifted back and forth over the last 12 months" in response to the ebb and flow of political turbulence in the US and Indonesia respectively. Overall, she has felt more comfortable in New York as she perceives "greater solidarity among New Yorkers."
Shofi, despite being a member of the Indonesia's Muslim majority, feels it will be difficult to adjust back to Jakartan society as she will face resistance to her more "liberal views" in the current political and religious climate. This issue, in addition to professional reasons, underpins her plans to remain longer in New York.
Some Indonesian students in New York, who are scholarship recipients, are obligated to temporarily return to Indonesia after graduation.
However, in the era of increasing global labour mobility, relying on scholarship commitments is not a long-term solution for governments seeking to retain high-skilled talent. Policy-makers and community leaders in Indonesia will need to address not only any economic disincentives, but also the domestic socio-political issues that concern many Indonesian students overseas.

The Jewish Sabbath has been called an "oasis in time." This heavenly gift, "Divine Therapy," if you will, is a unique opportunity for spiritual and psychological renewal that comes every week, and it's free! Contemporary observers often speak of the need for "quality time." Shabbat teaches that there cannot be quality time without quantity time. Shabbat is indeed an idea whose time has come. As we enter the 21st century, the world has never needed Shabbat more. Our society desperately needs time to catch its breath, to look inward, not outward, to be introspective. We need an opportunity to hug our children, look our spouses in the eye, and engage in true communication, without constant interruptions of telephones, radios, videos and computer games. For all our valued technological advancements (walkmen, beepers, cellular phones, Internet, satellite dishes, etc) our ability to communicate has greatly diminished. In fact, studies indicate that the average American parent speaks with his/her children no more than 12 minutes a day and watches television 49 hours a week! We, and our families, need "sacred time." Shabbat provides just that, and much more. It has been said, "More than the Jews have kept the Sabbath, the Sabbath has kept the Jews." It is an elixir of life. It is G-d's greatest gift to human-kind. Embrace it! Savor a taste of the world to come.
The Shabbat Across America and Canada At Home booklet is the perfect guide for the Friday night meal, providing a short explanation and a helpful how-to for each component of the Friday night meal.
Jewish Treats Complete Guide to Shabbat is the perfect resource on the Day of Rest. This eBook includes a little bit of everything: From how to light the Shabbat candles, the secrets of braided challah, the songs of the Sabbath and much more.
You can also learn more about NJOP's Shabbat programs, the Shabbat Beginners Service and Shabbat Across America/Canada, on their respective pages.

Nigeria Set To Supply Walmart With $6 Billion Worth Of Cashew Nuts (Read Details)
Nigeria Set To Supply Walmart With $6 Billion Worth Of Cashew Nuts (Read Details) - 4 years ago
Nigeria is set to supply 130,000 tonnes of roasted cashew nuts valued at $7 billion to Walmart Super Market chain in the United States of America, USA. This was revealed by the Minister of Agriculture, Audu Ogbe, on Wednesday while briefing State House correspondents after the meeting of the Federal Executive Council at the State House Presidential Villa Abuja. "But the other good news is cashew nuts. These things look small, but we are in conversations with Walmart, the biggest supermarket chain in the U.S., they came here and asked us to roast cashew nuts for them "Their demand is a 130,000 tonnes of cashew nuts per annum, the total value is $7 billion," he said. Mr. Ogbe said what Nigeria currently does is ship the nuts to Vietnam, who in turn roast and sell to the U.S. "This year we are going to create six cashew processing factories in Nigeria, one each to be cited in Enugu, Imo, Benue, Kogi, Kwara and Oyo states. These are the cashew belt for now," he said. The minister said these options are coming now because Nigeria is beginning to focus on non-oil export. "Once you can diversify your economy, if something goes wrong in one sector you can hang on to the other," he said. Mr. Ogbe had earlier said Nigeria will formally flag off the export of yam to the UK on Thursday. He said the government is also looking to use yam for industrial starch for the textile industry and for export to China. He added that India is also asking Nigeria for the supply of beans. He said the beans market in India alone is about $100 billion. "When the Indian Vice President came here, he asked me to visit so we could talk, so the market in Agric is huge, the prospects are large; it's about improving on our strategies at home and getting all our states to get involved, not all of them are doing what they ought to be doing now," the minister said

Those who perpetrate abuse in our places of worship, God is watching you in 3D- Pastor Sam Adeyemi's wife, Nike, writes


I am not quite sure how to post a report on what happened the week I was in Moldova so I will give an overview and then post more detailed reports on individual points and pictures later.
The day before we leave and it is extremely windy and my job for the day is cancelled. We picked up some baby dolls, gum, toys, handwarmers, etc and I finished packing. Went to sleep about midnight and was up wide awake at 4:00 am Saturday.
We leave the girls at Grandma Falk's house and Grandpa Falk and Melissa drives me to the airport. I am wearing my new Russian hat that Melissa and the girls bought for my birthday. We arrive at the airport at 10:15 am EST for our 12:15 EST flight to Atlanta. After arriving in Atlanta Brian Powell and I had lunch at Arby's and then walked through the airport and made a few final calls while waiting for the flight to Frankfurt Germany. We get on our plane and are enroute at 4:30 EST. We will arrive at 7:00am in Germany. I slept about 1.25 hours on the trip over. I slept through a lousy movie with Greg Kinnear while listening to spanish music. I woke up freezing cold and never could get back to sleep.
We arrived in Frankfurt, Germany at around 7:00 am and had about 9 hours until our flight to Chisnau would take off. Several of us decided to take the train into the city and get breakfast and walk around. We changed our dollars for Euros and headed downtown. We walked around and every thing was closed and we finally ended up at a small cafe. I had eggs with ham and mushrooms and herbs with coffee. Steve Bonnett generously picked up the tab on breakfast and we walked around the city for a short while. Nothing was open because it was Sunday. We caught the train back around 11:30am local time so we would have plenty of time to get our boarding passes and catch our flight to Moldova. We waited and at 3:30 pm local time we didn't take off as planned. There was fog in Chisnau and we would wait to see if it lifted. 4:30, 5:30, 6:30 no information and now at 5.5 hours sleep in the last 48 hours. 7:30 pm Air Moldova finally notifies us the flight had been cancelled 1.5 hours earlier. We were left looking for a hotel and ended up at the Holiday Inn Express. Not a bad deal as we got shuttle service to and from the airport, Breakfast, and double rooms for just €55 (I finally get to use that symbol € on my keyboard) The only problem was that there was 27 of us and one van with only 8 seats and a 30 minute round trip. Finally after 2 hours we arrived at our hotel. Bryan Powell and I walked to a local Italian restaurant and had pizza. Finally about 11:00 pm local time I fall asleep and get about 4 hours of really lousy sleep.
We have a very nice breakfast with coldcuts, pastries, juices, etc. A day late now we head back down the Autobahn to the airport and get our new boarding passes. We get to our gate and wait for our flight. I had some great entertainment betting on which people the drug dog would tag as they got off their flight from Jamaica. I sent a postcard to the girls which still hasn't arrived (12/15). Got lunch at McDonalds and won a apple pie (they still fry pies there not like the lousy baked ones we have.) McDonalds in Germany serves beer! Our gate is moved but we finally get on our plane and at 3:30 local time we leave the not-so-friendly German state on Air Moldova. The flight is a bit more relaxed than American flights and on this short 2:30 flight we got candy, soda, meals, and more soda. The seats are more comfortable and spacious than American carriers. We arrive in Chisnau (Kish-a-Now), the Moldovans all chear and clap as we land. We wait for our visas until about 8:00pm local time and finally get through and are in Moldova. Steve Bonnett and I head to the IMB house in Chisnau while the rest of the Knoxville crew heads north to Balti. We have a nice dinner. I pull the mattress off the top bunk because I don't want to fall and get another lousy nights sleep of about 5 hours.
I am now at 14.5 hours sleep in the last 4 days but I am feeling good!
We leave Chisnau with our van driver Sergio and our truck driver Val. We head to the south and the potholed roads get more pot-holed as we go. We arrive at our first location and we had chaos. The director of this orphanage cared about his children and it was apparent. I was outside quite a bit and played catch with the kids with my little nerf football. One boy who wasn't paying attention ran full speed into the back of our van while playing catch and nearly knocked himself out. I thought the kid was not going to get back up and I wasn't wanting to explain how I knocked an orphan out.
We finally finished up and headed to the next place. This place was dingy and kind of stunk. A gas line prevented the shoe truck from getting within 400 yards of where we needed to be so the boys from the orphanage carried everything for us. I was watching some old lady try to clean some mirrors in the room we were working in and ran out to our van and grabbed my squeegees and got to clean some glass in Moldova. We finally packed up and headed south to Cohul and our final stop. I should have gone to the bathroom before we left because it was a long haul and there is not 2 feet of smooth roads in Moldova. As my bladder got fuller the road got more pot-holed. We finally got to the Cohul Deaf Orphanage and started getting set up. These kids were the easiest of all to communicate with. I know maybe 150 ASL signs and these kids knew what I was saying. Had a really good time sitting at the back of the shoe truck and trying to sign with these kids. There was one very cute little girl named Maria that was so sweet. We finally headed to our hotel and had dinner and then onto bed. We had twin beds that were pushed together. Steve Bonnett and I shared a room. We were on the 5th floor and our room overlooked the open air market. We watched a little Romanian MTV or Hee haw or something. I can say there are plenty of loud barking dogs in Cohul but I finally got a decent nights sleep.
We left for our first orphanage a Russian speaking orphange with Ethnic Turks. There was a statue of Lenin that had been broken and fixed. Steve Bonnett and I got a photo with Lenin. We moved through this shoe distribution more efficiently and had a nice pastry as we left. We got to work with Nancy Russell an IMB missionairy from Maryville, TN who had stayed in FBC's mission house. We had sent a care package with Chris and Nancy about 4 years ago to David Crutchfield. I guess it is a small world.
We finished up and headed to our next orphanage which was by far the worst. The orphange smelled, the director looked like a pimp, and there was a mean nasty screaming teacher. The screaming teacher hit a child in front of me and I had to hold off from bull tackling the old bat. The place was just not very nice. I made the mistake of using the bathroom ( a small shack with a cement pad with three holes in the floor and the most foul odor imaginable. Nobody in Moldova can aim! We finally headed to our final orphanage. Steve Bonnet and I played football with a group of boys quite a while before we got started. After we finished we were served bread, kaisha (cream of wheat type cereal), hot cocoa, and apples. Leaving took about 30 minutes as the kids all wanted autographs on cards, bibles. cardboard, etc.
My birthday! We had a morning breakfast and then I went to the open air market and bought 45 kilos of bananas to give to the kids. Nicholae was one of our interpretors and I sat with him on the way to the first place. Nick is the Tae Kwon Do national champion of Moldova and Romania. Very sharp Christian guy! We got to the first place and things went smoothly. I really bonded with a little girl named Mikela who had a twin brother. They were about 8 years old. We had "chai" or tea with cookies and pastries. The orphanage director gave us each an embroidered cloth and she gave me a big bouquet of flowers.
We left for the next place and Nick gave me a beautiful handmade doily for my birthday. We had to pick up new interpretors before the next stop and time is not something Moldovans seem to worried about. I ran up to Anatoly's flat to see what it was like and thinking I could speed him along. He insisted on showing me the flat and kept saying "just two minutes." He then insisted we eat Borscht and drink Moldovan grape/cherry juice his wife made. It was all very good but the people in the van were ready to kill me. I don't know how many times I heard two minutes. We then had lunch in the van on the way to the second stop.
We then headed out of town to an orphanage that I will do something to help. Alexander Kuzu has a special place in my heart and I will share more about it later. There were only 32 kids at this orphanage. I placed socks that Annette age 5 gave me to take on a girl that was 12 and they fit. We again had coffee with bread, pastries and cold cuts. On the way back we had goats in the road, cows in the road, geese in the road, and sheep in the road or I could say there was a van in the pasture.
The last place of the day was in Cohul and went very smoothly. The kids seemed happy and we again had tea, cookies, and pastries. We headed back to the hotel and I had my seventh meal of the day and then went to bed. A very nice birthday!
After such a good day I told everybody that the 8th was actually my birthday. We checked out of the hotel and then had breakfast. We headed north to the largest orphanage we would do a 441 bed facility. The Moldovan Education Minister came and addressed the children and all the big wigs from CERI were there so I was on my "best" behavior. We worked for a very long time and kept being told we were done but more kids kept showing up 441 pairs of boots is alot of feet. There were alot of great kids and Steve Bonnett and I got to put on more shoes than we had all week. The interpretor we worked with was Alena a very skilled lady who was 26 and spoke English with an American or British accent, French with a French accent, Romanian, and Russian with a Russian accent. When we finished we served "chai" again but this time there was lamb, potatoes, cabbage rolls, pumpkin rolls, cookies, beets, pork, salad, orange juice, Viva soda, etc. It was grander than a thanksgiving feast. We then headed north to Chisinau with our work week complete. My heart ached for Mia, Mikela, Maria, Micheal and the rest of the kids. I could not help but wonder where the children we would be adopting were and what they were doing or if even one of these kids were them.
Now to be American tourists. We headed down town Chisnau and changed our dollars for lei. I then bought some pisansky which are colored eggs. Easter Eggs originated in Ukraine in 600 BC. Ukraine is where we plan on adopting. I got the girls some nesting dolls. We had a special dinner and I learned that "hot chocalate" in Moldova is truly hot melted chocalate when I ordered a mug. We visited God's Design church which is pastored by a sharp young pastor Andre. I was the youngest in our group at 31 and I was about 10 years older than eveverybody at this group. I got back to the team house and could not fall to sleep until late.
I woke up at 4:00 am not feeling well and never got back to sleep. We headed to the airport and left for Frankfurt. The feeling you have as you look out the window as you are leaving such a desperate place is difficult to describe. I am leaving a bit of my heart but at the same time I want to get home so much. I am fortunate to have met a Nurse Practitioner from the Tri-Cities area in Virginia who gave me some Zofran which helped me make it home. We arrived in Cincinatti, Ohio at about 3:00 pm and made it quickly through customs. I was really not feeling well as we boarded our flight to Knoxville and only remember being startled awake as we were landing in Knoxville and asking Jamie Abbott where we were. It was so good to see the girls again and very emotional.
I will post more later on individual topics.

HAVANA – Cuban President Raul Castro is returning his reform "czar" to the job of economy minister, saying efforts to overhaul the island's economy need to be "harmonized and integrated."
An official statement read on state television Thursday night says Marino Murillo will also retain his post as vice president. The former head of the economy ministry, Adel Yzquierdo, is being made a vice minister in the agency.
Murrillo was first economy minister in 2009-11. During that stint, he gained visibility in Cuba by overseeing major changes that have opened some areas of the previously heavily regulated economy to private enterprise.

The Law of Compulsory Purchase (Third Edition)
Indispensible text for practitioners in the field of Compulsory Purchase and Compensation.
This is the Third Edition of a highly regarded work first published in 2008. It brings the law up to date to include major changes made by the Localism Act 2011, the Housing and Planning Act 2016 and the Neighbourhood Planning Act 2017 in addition to noting the decisions of the Upper Tribunal (Lands Chamber), the Court of Appeal and the Supreme Court since the Second Edition was published in 2011.
In a Foreword by Lord Carnwath CVO, he describes this work as "indispensable", he notes that the changes to the Land Compensation Act 1961 made by the Localism Act 2011, the Housing and Planning Act 2016 and the Neighbourhood Planning Act 2017 taken together have enacted the majority of the recommendations of the Law Commission (when he was its Chairman) but without the comprehensive approach which the commission had advocated. He expresses the view that, as a result, there is continuing and if anything even greater need for expert legal guidance as to the interaction of the different strands of legislation and case-law. He says that the editors of this work between them have an unrivalled fund of practical knowledge and experience in this field, and he expresses confidence that this work will remain the leading guide for professionals and lay people attempting to make sense of this vital area of the law.
The book is intended principally for use by practitioners in the field of compulsory purchase and compensation, including lawyers, surveyors and valuers, but the structure, style and indexing are intended to make it accessible to occasional users and students.

» Are You or Someone You Love at Risk of Developing Type 2 Diabetes?
Over eight percent of Americans (25.8 million people) have diabetes and 1.9 million new cases of diabetes were diagnosed in 2010 alone, according to the National Diabetes Fact Sheet released January 2011. Seventy-nine million Americans, or over one-fourth of the American population, have prediabetes—a state of above normal blood glucose levels that raises the risk of developing diabetes. Knowing whether you are at risk helps you not only prevent developing diabetes, but also the many complications of diabetes, which include heart disease, stroke, blindness, kidney disease, neuropathy, and amputation. Today, on the 23rd annual Alert Day, the American Diabetes Association is encouraging everyone to take a short test to find out if they are at risk for developing type 2 diabetes.
Some risk factors for Diabetes cannot be avoided. You are more likely to develop diabetes if you are male, if other members of your immediate family have suffered from diabetes, or if you belong to certain racial and ethnic groups, including African Americans, Mexican Americans, Asian Americans, American Indians, and Pacific Islanders. Your risk of developing diabetes also increases as you age.
Replace your favorite meals with healthy alternatives. Eat fruits instead of fatty desserts, substitute in leaner or vegetarian meat, choose whole grain breads and cereals, and drink water or homemade juice instead of sodas. Don't force yourself to eat food you don't like—instead, find healthy foods you love and eat them regularly.
Keep active. Even moderate exercise can significantly lower your risk of developing diabetes. Start becoming more active by fitting exercise into your daily routine. Park further from the building, take the stairs instead of the elevator, and go on a walk during your lunch break. Try to make exercising fun. You are unlikely to continue workouts you hate—instead find activities that you enjoy, such as dancing, swimming, or biking.
Talk to your doctor about how to best manage your blood pressure. People with high blood pressure are more likely to develop diabetes, as well as other medical issues including heart disease and stroke. Diet and exercise can help manage your blood pressure, as can drinking less alcohol and quitting smoking.
Instead of trying to change everything at once, pick small, achievable goals and work your way up to your larger objectives. Every smaller goal you accomplish will increase your confidence and encourage you to pursue larger goals.
To find out your risk of developing type 2 diabetes, take the test at www.stopdiabetes.com, call 1-800-DIABETES (1-800-342-2383), or text JOIN to 69866.

'Gilmore Girls' fans rejoice! Soon you can eat lunch at Rory and Lorelai's house
Warner Bros. is offering a festive winter tour that includes a themed lunch on the set of the hit TV show.
Ready to chow down like Lorelai and Rory? We are, too.Alamy
By Aly Walansky
"Gilmore Girls" has been off the air for over a decade, but the series still has its share of loyal fans.
A few years ago, devoted show enthusiasts inspired 200 pop-up versions of Luke's Diner, where they could actually sip coffee like the show's stars. Soon, it will be even easier to live like Lorelai and Rory with a brand new attraction at Warner Bros. Studios: a holiday lunch at the "Gilmore Girls" home!
From Dec. 22 through Jan. 6, 2019, as part of the Warner Bros. Studio Tour in Hollywood, California, guests will be able to eat a meal at Lorelai's famous home in the fictional town of Stars Hollow, Connecticut.
This new set recreation will include original costumes from the show and, just for the season, the house will be fully decked out in festive decor. The house also lies next to the town square, so there will be plenty of opportunities for taking selfies in the gazebo.
Tickets for the tour, which runs about 3 hours, start at $50 and go up to $65, depending on when you choose to go. The lunch fare, however, is not included in the price. However, guests will be able to enjoy holiday favorites like oven-roasted turkey breast with cranberry-shallot sauce, chicken roasted with lemon and garlic, macaroni salad, herbed corn and more. Entrees are $10 to $15, while desserts on the special menu start at just $2.
While this sounds totally festive, we're not sure if it really qualifies as a Gilmore-themed diet. Where's the pizza and coffee? Veggie burgers and fries will be on the menu, though.
Just like Lorelai and Luke! 'Gilmore Girls' fan gets gazebo proposal of a lifetime
Aug. 9, 201801:04
In addition to checking out Stars Hollow, visitors to Warner Bros. Studios will also experience a recreation of Central Perk Cafe from "Friends," exhibits featuring characters and costumes from the DC Universe, and plenty of soundstages and studio lots where countless TV shows and movies have been filmed.
"Gilmore Girls" first ran from 2000 to 2007 on the WB and CW. In 2016, it was revived for a special on Netflix, bringing in new legions of fans.

Tenia el grau de sergent al final de la Segona Guerra Mundial i va ser capturat pels americans en Itàlia. Al seu retorn del camp de presoners, va treballar com a obrer de transport per un curt temps, abans de poder continuar la carrera de Dret a les universitats de Marburg i Munic, rebent el seu doctorat (summa cum laude) el 1950.

La seva carrera professional es va iniciar el febrer de 1952, quan es va convertir en un funcionari subaltern en el Ministeri de Justícia de Baviera. A l'edat de 28 anys era jutge d'un tribunal de primera instància a Traunstein, i l'any següent va ser destinat a la Secretaria estatal de Baviera per tal de revisar la llei bavaresa per a un nou estudi publicat pel parlament bavarès. L'ajuntament de Munic li va fer el seu secretari legal el 1958.

Vogel es va afiliar al SPD a 1950. El seu primer càrrec va ser com a conseller i Cap del Departament Legal de la ciutat de Munic el 1958. Va succeir Thomas Wimmer com a alcalde de Munic amb 34 anys el 27 de març de 1960 amb el 64,3% dels vots, fins que el seu càrrec va acabar el 1972 sent succeït per Georg Kronawitter, de 1972 fins a 1974, Ministre Federal d'Ordenació Territorial, Obres Públiques i Desenvolupament Urbà. Fins a 1981 va ser Ministre de Justícia i finalment el 1981, alcalde de Berlín precedit per Dietrich Stobbe i succeït per Richard von Weizsäcker.

A les eleccions federals de 1983 va ser candidat a canceller del SPD però va perdre les eleccions contra la coalició de CDU / CSU i FDP. Des 1987 fins a 1991 va ser president nacional del SPD, precedit per Willy Brandt i succeït per Björn Engholm, i de 1983 fins a 1991 va ser president del grup parlamentari del SPD.

També va arribar a ser president del Cómite Organitzador dels Jocs Olímpics d'Estiu de 1972, precedit pel mexicà Cuauhtémoc Cárdenas i succeït pel canadenc Jean Doré.

Honors i premis
Vogel va rebre diversos premis i honors, entre ells el premi Galinski el 1998 i en 2001 el premi Leo Baeck. El 2001, en el seu discurs d'acceptació va declarar expressament:Com un jove sergent i funcionari cultural de les Joventuts Hitlerianes, confesso no haver resistit prou llavors a la fascinació d'un règim criminal". També va dir : "En el fons he seguit el corrent majoritari d'aquells anys i no em va passar pel cap que s'ha d'oposar resistència a l'Estat".

GM President Mark Reuss Believes These Three Things Are Holding EVs Back
Home > News > Content
【Summary】Price, range, and charging infrastructure are the three main things holding electric vehicles back from going mainstream in the U.S. believes General Motors' President Mark Reuss.
Original Vineeth Joel Patel Dec 01, 2019 8:00 AM PT
author: Vineeth Joel Patel
The 2020 Chevy Bolt EV
Thank Nissan for coming out with one of the first all-electric vehicles for the masses with the Leaf or Tesla for making electric cars cool, but the auto industry is heading toward an electric future. Regulations and emissions probably have a large role in the transition, too.
Still, regardless of the reasons, automakers are quickly adding electric vehicles into their lineups and moving away from cars with internal combustion engines. General Motors is busy adding more EVs to its lineup, but President Mark Reuss believes that there are a few issues holding electric cars back.
Range, Infrastructure, And Cost Are Issues
In a CNN article, Reuss outlines the three issues with electric cars: range, charging infrastructure, and cost. The first issue, range, is one that's difficult to quell because consumers have an expectation from vehicles with an internal combustion engine. People, as Reuss claims, will always want to be able to drive as long as possible between charges, because we've all been spoiled when it comes to how far cars with internal combustion engines can travel without needing to be refilled.
In a survey, the majority of consumers claimed that they wanted at least 300 miles of range out of an electric vehicle. Unfortunately, only Tesla has been able to break that mark with its electric cars. Reuss states that the other 90 percent of EVs on the market have roughly 240 miles or more. Clearly, EVs have some ways to go.
But Reuss isn't worried. The automaker recently came out with an updated version of the Chevrolet Bolt EV that has 21 more miles of range than before – up to 259 miles – and Reuss believes that other automakers will introduce updated versions of old electric cars with more range as they continue to improve on lithium-ion batteries, too.
The second problem is charging infrastructure, or rather the lack of one. EVs don't have a good amount of range for consumers and the lack of charging stations doesn't help, either. In order to fix the issue, Reuss believes that manufacturers, the government, industry groups, and charging companies will all have to work together to ensure that charging stations are more readily available.
Lower Cost Of Ownership Is Key
The majority of charging, roughly 80 percent claims GM's President, takes place at an owner's home. So private charging stations are just as important, if not more important, and will require more companies that are capable of installing personal chargers at homes.
Lastly, is the issue of price. While electric cars have a lower cost of ownership than vehicles with internal combustion engines, the purchase price for the vehicles is much higher. Reuss believes that will change as battery efficiency improves and prices come down. But that, according to him, will take at least another decade. Prices after that will continue to fall as regulatory costs on gas and diesel engines will increase.
Reuss believes that tackling these three things will result in the widespread adoption of electric vehicles. Making electric vehicles that are just as good or better than vehicles with internal combustion engines is another issue automakers will have to tackle if they want consumers to fork over their money for an EV

Ethiopian diaspora torn by ethnic tensions in Tigray war
Thousands of miles away from the Tigray war a lawsuit between trustees and clergy over the language of services is tearing apart an Ethiopian church in Ohio
Thousands of miles away from the war in Ethiopia the ethnic cracks have started to show in an Ethiopian church in Ohio in a lawsuit between trustees and clergy.
The original trustees of the Holy Trinity Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church in Columbus have accused its clergy of switching the language of services from Amharic, the national language of Ethiopia, to Tigrinya, the language of the Tigray region. They say the clergy is taking sides in a war between Tigray leaders and the Amhara, allied with the Ethiopian government, with an estimated tens of thousands of dead.
The clergy in the church in Columbus, which is home to about 40,000 Ethiopian-Americans, says Tigrinya was added on as a language rather than replacing Amharic to better reach the congregation. Church leaders say the changes weren't political in nature.
The tensions in the church reflect how the war in Ethiopia has fueled divides across the more than 3 million members of the diaspora.
"The Ethiopian social fabric … has been torn apart," said Tewodros Tirfe, chairman of the Amhara Association of America, based in North Carolina.
HRW: Democracy must step up as autocrats face turning point
Ethiopian diaspora visit home to help country rebuild its image amid civil war
The war started a little over a year ago, when a political dispute between Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed and the Tigray leaders erupted into violence after a dispute over elections. It has now spiraled to the point where some Tigrayans are starving under a government blockade and atrocities have been reported on all sides, with the worst and most to date reported against Tigrayan civilians.
The conflict entered a new phase in late December when the Tigray forces withdrew into the Tigray region after approaching the capital, Addis Ababa, but are being pushed back by a drone-supported military offensive.
Deep disagreements about the nature and even the facts of the conflict are splintering families, friends and communities in the diaspora. Some consider themselves supporters of Tigray or of its political leaders, who belong to a party called the Tigrayan People's Liberation Front, or TPLF. They argue that Tigrayans are being threatened with genocide — profiled, persecuted and killed for their ethnicity.
Saba Desta, who works in health insurance in New York, worries that ordinary people are being forgotten. Desta said she's tried to get her parents out of the northern city of Shire in Tigray, but her father is ill and unable to leave without a nurse's assistance.
"It's been breaking me, reading the reports of closing of hospitals and health centers, the restricted access to medicine," she said. "I can only believe that he's OK, that he's alive. I only have this hope to bank on."
Desta said five of her cousins, all brothers, were shot to death in front of their elderly mother by the military from neighboring Eritrea which has been in Tigray alongside Ethiopian soldiers. Their mother died shortly after "from heartbreak," she said.
"I'm so numb," she said. "I can't even cry anymore."
Other Ethiopians see this as a necessary war against Tigray leaders, who once ruled Ethiopia and were accused of human rights abuses while growing the country's economy.
The former ruling coalition, dominated by Tigray leaders representing 6% of the nation, appointed Abiy as prime minister in 2018, a choice largely celebrated by Ethiopians across the globe as a step towards peace and unity. Abiy transformed the federal coalition into a single Prosperity Party, and Tigrayan leaders later withdrew. Many Ethiopians feel that Tigray leaders are angry because Abiy leads with more than Tigray's interests in mind as he seeks to centralize power.
"I had been there since they were established and I had seen their plans when I was very young, and that never changed," said Teferi Zemene, a Toronto-based union organizer who grew up watching the TPLF rise to power three decades ago.
Zemene returned to Canada recently after 2½ months in Ethiopia. He visited his hometown of Dabat, about 75 kilometers (45 miles) from the northern Amhara city of Gondar, and asserted that it was destroyed by Tigray forces.
"If you see Dabat now, you would cry. They devastated the place. There's no place to even rest," he said.
Zemene said he lost relatives in the war and that he felt "the need to fight." He and other Ethiopians who oppose the Tigray forces have expressed concern that the international community and even foreign media are bent on promoting intervention by the U.S.
"We should be able to solve our problems ourselves," he said. "We didn't ask for any help."
The complexity of the war has made some rethink their position on it. Ethiopian-American journalist and activist Hermela Aregawi advocated for humanitarian work to help Tigray in the early days, but eventually distanced herself from those fundraising efforts when she felt they became politically motivated in favor of Tigrayan leaders.
"I'm Tigrayan, I care about Tigrayans, I care about Ethiopians as a whole," Aregawi said.
Negasi Beyene, a biostatistician and human rights activist in Washington, feels similarly. "My motto is, 'humanity before ethnicity,'" he said.
Growing up in Mekele, the capital of Tigray, during an earlier war, Beyene felt pressured to choose between the TPLF and other political groups when he was just 17 years old and kids his age were either killed or recruited to fight. He ultimately sided against the TPLF, and holds what he considers a minority view among Tigrayans that they started the current war.
"My sister, brother, I don't talk to them," he said. "Because they think TPLF is doing good … Maybe the TPLF idea – if you're not with us, you're against us – has penetrated all of society."
A year into the war, there's no clear end in sight. Some support the independence of Tigray, while others don't want to see Ethiopia torn apart.
Adem Kassie Abebe, a program officer at the International Institute for Democracy and Electoral Assistance in the Netherlands, said that for each side, the anger and longtime grievances are real.
"Saying 'I understand you're angry,' that would go a long way (for) both sides," he said. "That opens a channel."
Tirfe of the Amhara Association of America blames the war on a federalist governing system that ties the country's dozens of ethnicities to land and power, pitting them against each other. So long as Ethiopia has this system, he said, "there will be another war."
Airstrike kills at least 56 people in Ethiopian camp for internally displaced
Ethiopia grants amnesty to high-profile political detainees
UN: Ethiopian air strike kills three in camp for Eritrean refugees
What he and others note, though, is that more Ethiopians are now determined to be heard.
"It's good to see so many Ethiopians actively involved," he said. "We're not coming (together) as one, but hopefully one day. We'll be a force."

Q: Reverse geocoder not working properly when used in a loop My problem is with reverse geocoding using Google Maps. I would like to geocode n number(less than 15) of latitude and longitude coordinates so that I can plot a route using the addresses obtained. My problem is when I am using it in a loop it is not giving addresses in the order of lat-lng coordinates passed. The loop is not executing properly. The part of the code that I am having trouble with is:
 for(var i=0;i<tlength;i++){
 alert(i);
 var geocoder = new google.maps.Geocoder();
 geocoder.geocode({'latLng': latlng[i]},function(results, status) {
 alert(i);
 if (status == google.maps.GeocoderStatus.OK) {
      if (results[0]) {
        var add=results[0].formatted_address;
        address.push(add);
      }
    }
  });
 }

The address array obtained is not in order with the latlng array. Second latlng is getting geocoded first and also the value of i from the 2nd alert box is always 6(in this case tlength=6). It should change from 0 to 5. But it's not happening. Can someone help me with this. Or is their any other way to plot routes using latlong coorinates directly?

A: Geocoding is asynchronous.  The ordering of the callbacks is not guaranteed in in time.  One fix would be to use function closure to associate the input index to the callback.  Note that the geocoder is subject to a quota and a rate limit.  If you don't check for the status returned you won't know when you run into the limit. (the alerts in the code below will get really annoying if you have lots of points in your array...)
 var geocoder = new google.maps.Geocoder();
 function reverseGeocode(index) {
   geocoder.geocode({'latLng': latlng[index]},function(results, status) {
     if (status == google.maps.GeocoderStatus.OK) {
       if (results[0]) {
         var add=results[0].formatted_address;
         address[index] = add;
       } else alert("no results for "+laglng[index]);
     } else alert("Geocode failed: "+status);
   });
 }

 for(var i=0;i<tlength;i++){
   reversGeocode(i);
 }

A: You need to use like this error in your code :
var latlng = new google.maps.LatLng(51.9000,8.4731);
    var geocoder = new google.maps.Geocoder();
     geocoder.geocode({'latLng': latlng},function(results, status) {
     if (status == google.maps.GeocoderStatus.OK) {
          if (results[0]) {
            var add=results[0].formatted_address;
            //address.push(add);
             alert(results[0].formatted_address);
          }
        }
      });

And for your code you need to pass like this:
for(var i=0;i<tlength;i++){
 var latlng = new google.maps.LatLng(latlng[i]);
 var geocoder = new google.maps.Geocoder();
 geocoder.geocode({'latLng': latlng},function(results, status) {
 alert(i);
 if (status == google.maps.GeocoderStatus.OK) {
      if (results[0]) {
       // var add=results[0].formatted_address;
        address.push(results[0].formatted_address);
      }
    }
  });
 }

Quirky Network Engineering student looking for open-minded and rational people to join a house with. No i am not Galileo Galilei and I did come to the conclusion of the speed of light. However this is the knowledge i may enlighten you with while we have a drink under the stars. I've lived in Australia my whole life and have decided to move to melbourne for study. Alongside my study i'm also working part time in a logistics warehouse.
I've also just recently moved out of a share house after one long enjoyable year, creating friends that I now consider family. Therefore meaning i'm used to living in these share house environments and being a responsible, considerate house mate.
My spare time usually involves me learning new things, developing myself as a person (well attempting). Anything from programming to music are things that i enjoy.
Thank you for reading my bio and making it to the end, i hope you consider my application.

Q: Generate SAS code using input specifications We have a set of predefined macros, developed in SAS, which are used for generating tables, listing and figures using SAS datasets. My requirement is specifically for automating SAS code generation for tables. There are some fixed numbers of templates available for the tables to be generated. Also, a SAS programs are available to generate each table output. Whenever a table from these templates needs to be generated, the related SAS program needs to be modified to generate the required output.
To avoid the redundacy of writing SAS programs each time separately to generate the fixed kind of output, I want to create a tool which will generate a SAS code. This code will serve as a source to generate tables.
I have prepared an excel workbook with all required details for constructing program (like various parameters and their values e.g. title, footnote, source dataset, group by row/column). A simple user form created in Excel is used to display and configure these parameters.
The question is now - how to generate SAS statements using Excel VBA? and How to connect with SAS using Excel VBA to execute SAS programs?
If you have done anything like this before or if you have any ideas for this type of problem statement, could you please share them here. Any help is really appreciable.
Thank you.

A: I wouldn't involve VBA. I would write a SAS program to read the requirements, generate the tables and push them back to a new Excel program. If you want to drive this from an Excel program entirely, I would recommend the SAS Add-In for Excel instead of VBA code, though you could trigger it via VBA. Chris Hemidinger is the SAS expert in these types of issues and he does post on communities.sas.com as another user indicated you should post there (in comments).
It's a trivial process to create empty tables, but reporting tables often have a very specific layout so you may be able to generalize this process further. For example, I have a macro that creates my standard Table 1 (table of characteristics) for a data set, where I just need to specify the input variables by type (continuous, categorical, binary) and the output is generated and can be pushed to excel via ODS EXCEL. I also use PROC REPORT to format it, because I'll shade the rows alternately for different variables so that's easier to read/display.
