Osceola Energy Recognized as a 2018 Top Solar Contractor in New Mexico
The Solar Power World Top Solar Contractors list includes Albuquerque based solar firm
Albuquerque New Mexico – More than 10,600 megawatts of solar power were installed last year in the United States, and local installer Osceola Energy has been recognized by Solar Power World magazine for its contributions to the industry. Osceola Energy achieved a rank of 240 out of 450 solar companies on the magazine's 2018 Top Solar Contractors list.
The Top Solar Contractors list is developed by Solar Power World to recognize the work completed by solar contractors across the United States. Produced annually, the Top Solar Contractors list celebrates the achievements of U.S. solar developers, subcontractors and installers within the utility, commercial and residential markets, and ranks contractors by kilowatts installed in the previous year. The 2018 list was released on July 24.
"Solar Power World is very excited about the 2018 class of Top Solar Contractors," said Kelly Pickerel, editor in chief of Solar Power World. "Our 2017 list showed impressive installation numbers after 2016's huge rush to meet ITC requirements, and many companies were hesitant to show unavoidable installation dips after last year's high. We're happy to feature a strong group of thriving U.S. solar installers on the 2018 Top Solar Contractors list. These companies truly are at the top of their markets."
The U.S. solar market had its biggest year ever in 2016, installing more than 15,000 MW. Although installations in 2017 dropped to 10,608 MW, the total still represents 40% growth over 2015 numbers. The year-over-year downturn can be attributed to the large influx of 2016 projects rushing to meet the anticipated expiration of a 30% federal tax credit that was eventually renewed. Last year also saw uncertainty surrounding potential Section 201 tariffs on imported solar panels, which may have led to delayed or canceled projects. Osceola Energy had a very strong year install a 1.2 MW utility scale solar farm for the Picuris Pueblo in Penasco, NM this year that helped contribute to this year's installation figures. Osceola Energy has been on the list since 2014 and continues to increase it's top placement on the list.
A major highlight of 2017 was the non-residential market growing 28% year-over-year, the fourth straight year of annual growth for commercial, industrial and community solar. Osceola Energy also installed several commercial solar projects for Community College of New Mexico (CNM), University of New Mexico (UNM), Albuquerque Public Schools (APS) and Carlisle Condos in Nob Hill. In 2017, 30% of all new electric generating capacity brought online in the United States came from solar, second only to new natural gas capacity.
The first quarter of 2018 showed a 13% growth over the first quarter of 2017, and Osceola Energy will continue to contribute to the wave of increasing solar generation. By 2023, more than 15,000 MW of solar is expected to be installed annually.
Osceola Energy employs 14 workers who installed 1,917.9 kilowatts of solar power in 2017. Since its founding in 2009 the company has installed nearly 4 megawatts of solar. Osceola handles everything from capital acquisitions, engineering, permitting and procurement to construction. Osceola Energy has a comprehensive commercial solar management team with more than 60 years of combined experience in development, engineering and construction. Multipole members of our team hold NABCEP solar PV professional licensing as well as contracting licensing to round out Osceola Energy's integration experience. To give back to the community Osceola Energy also installed an off-grid solar system for Manzano High Schools Girls and Boys Soccer team locker rooms.

Monterrey –
After the split with Carranza the Villista Felipe Angeles captured San Pedro de las Colonias and advanced on Saltillo while Emilio Madero advanced towards Parras. Angeles entered Monterrey on 15 January 1915 to hold it against Pablo González. The Chihuahua notes (and the revalidated Gobierno Provisional) drove out the previous Constitutionalist issues.
In March 1915 de la Garza suggested putting R. A. Sepúlveda in charge of changing notes in Monterrey and Saltillo, where Carrancista currency abounded, but Vargas replied that there were experts (revisadores y canjeadores de billetes) from the Tesorería in both cities. Raúl Madero had said that $10,000 would be enough to effect the change in MonterreyLG papers, 3-H-22, letter from Vargas, Chihuahua, to de la Garza, El Paso, 4 March 1915.
Villa arrived on 15 March 1915 and in his usual manner ordered that money should be distributed to those in needJosé P. Saldaña, Episodios Contemporanéos, Monterrey, 1955.
On 9 May 1915 Alfredo H. Hernández, an employee of the Tesorería in Chihuahua, arrived in Monterrey, Nuevo León. He had been summoned by the governor, Raúl Madero, to check the notes in circulation therePrensa, 12 May 1915.
When Villa evacuated the city on 19 May 1915 the value of his currency plummeted.
Villa Aldama – Presidencia Municipal
Two circular seals: ''BRIGADA LIBRE DE N. LEON ESTADO MAYOR' and
'PRESIDENCIA MUNICIPAL Villaldama N. L.'.
Apparently a dealer arrived in Villa Aldama and knew an ex-revolucionary who had worked at the town hall during the revolution. He sold the dealer a safe that he could not open because he had lost the combination. The dealer took the safe to Monterrey and opened it and found 11 or 12 notes with this reselloinformation from Gil Gómez.
Saltillo – Jefatura de Armas
A round black 43.5mm seal with 'JEFATURA DE ARMAS - SALTILLO, COAH.' and eagle in centre with signature of Antonio Ramos, El Mayor
Saltillo, the capital of Coahuila, is located 400 kilometres south of the United States border and 90 kilometres west of Monterrey, Nuevo León.
On 22 March 1913, Carranza and his army were defeated at Saltillo and forced to evacuate the city. As the seat of rebellion, it was a psychologically important Federal victory which denied ex-governor Carranza his home base. Saltillo remained in Federal hands until its liberation by elements of the División del Norte under Villa on 20 May 1914.
Saltillo – Ayuntamiento
'ESTADO DE COAHUILA PRESIDENCIA DEL AYUNTAMIENTO - SALTILLO.' and signature

The only reference to overprinting from Saltillo is an instruction, dated 22 June 1915, from the Carrancista Secretario General de Gobierno to the Presidente Municipal to collect in the treasury all the legal money that had been marked or restamped by the rebels when they occupied the town together with any prohibited currency. The former was to be exchanged for other legal notesAMS, fondo Presidencia Municipal, caja 158/1, legajo 26, exp.20, letter from Secretario General de Gobierno to Presidente Municipal, Saltillo, 22 June 1915.

During the campaign against the Villistas in early 1915 the forces of Constitutionalist General Rafael Cepeda were cut off from the rest of Pablo González's forces and could not receive supplies, including money to pay his troops. He was empowered to use dos caritas, validated with his signature, to cover his costs, on the understanding that only these signed notes would be allowed to circulate.
On 20 September 1915 Pablo González wrote to the Jefaturas de Hacienda in Saltillo and Monterrey asking them to exchange the notes that Cepeda's forces held. Cepeda wrote to thank González on 22 November 1915APGG, leg. 2 bis, exp. 159.

Nick Wright Offers Level-Headed Take On Tom Brady Vs. Aaron Rodgers Debate
by Ricky Doyle on Fri, Sep 7, 2018 at 2:04PM
Tom Brady or Aaron Rodgers? It's a debate that's complicated.
On one hand, it's hard to argue for anyone over Brady, a five-time Super Bowl champion who's widely considered the greatest quarterback in NFL history. On the other, Rodgers has posted ridiculous stats throughout his career and perhaps is the most talented QB to ever play.
That's the gist of what Nick Wright explained Thursday on FS1 when asked by Colin Cowherd why there's even a debate when Brady has accomplished far more to this point, especially in terms of winning.
"There's no question Tom Brady is the most accomplished football player ever, but if you're asking me who can play [quarterback] at the highest level I've ever seen it played, it's Aaron Rodgers." — @getnickwright pic.twitter.com/n30jbTVghT
— Herd w/Colin Cowherd (@TheHerd) September 6, 2018
Wright's level-headed argument is hard to disagree with, as it takes into account Brady's superiority in terms of career accolades and Rodgers' superiority in terms of skill. The Brady vs. Rodgers debate starts to get dicey, however, when you simply ask "who's better?" because everyone can interpret that question differently.

OncoSec Provides Encouraging Clinical Observations Related To Triple Negative Breast Cancer Study
OncoSec Medical Incorporated
SAN DIEGO, Jan. 18, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- OncoSec Medical Incorporated ("OncoSec" or the "Company") (NASDAQ:ONCS), a company developing intratumoral cancer immunotherapies, today announced preliminary clinical observations related to its pilot biomarker OMS-I140 clinical trial of ImmunoPulse® IL-12 in patients with metastatic Triple Negative Breast Cancer (TNBC). The study is designed to assess whether a single cycle of ImmunoPulse IL-12 increases TNBC tumor immunogenicity by driving a pro-inflammatory cascade of events including activation of cytotoxic tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs).
To date, five patients with TNBC have been treated with a single cycle of ImmunoPulse IL-12 (intratumoral pIL-12 [tavokinogene telseplasmid or "tavo"] with electroporation). Two of these five patients were subsequently treated with single agent nivolumab (Opdivo®) - an anti-PD-1 checkpoint inhibitor treatment - as their immediate next therapy. Both of these patients, who were heavily pretreated metastatic TNBC patients with chemotherapy refractory disease, experienced robust objective responses in both ImmunoPulse IL-12 treated and untreated lesions. These clinical observations have prompted the Company to further commit to a more definitive evaluation of the combined therapies.
"Metastatic TNBC is a heterogeneous cancer with a poor prognosis where less than five percent of pre-treated patients achieve an objective response to PD-1/PD-L1 checkpoint treatments," explained Sharron Gargosky, Chief Clinical and Regulatory Officer of OncoSec. "The marked synergy shown in these patients strongly suggests that IL-12 may have primed the tumor microenvironment, impacting the clinical result. The combination of ImmunoPulse IL-12 and checkpoint inhibition represents a highly promising new therapeutic approach for TNBC and warrants a formal evaluation given the extremely low response rate in women who have failed multiple prior therapies."
Previous studies have demonstrated that breast cancer patients whose tumors are associated with markers of inflammation, such as the presence of TILs, achieve better clinical outcomes. In addition, the density of TILs is a key requirement for the anti-tumor activity of immune checkpoint inhibitors like anti-PD-1/PD-L1 antibodies. By augmenting the expansion of CD8+ tumor infilatrating T cells, ImmunoPulse IL-12 may be an ideal candidate to combine with checkpoint inhibitors, which has demonstrated low and variable activity as a monotherapy in TNBC.
Immunological examination of samples from all patients are currently being analyzed. These data, along with the full information regarding clinical observations and safety data, will be submitted for presentation at an upcoming medical meeting in 2018.

About Triple Negative Breast Cancer (TNBC)
Breast cancer cells that test negative for estrogen receptors (ER-), progesterone receptors (PR-), and HER2 (HER2-) means the cancer is triple negative.1 Approximately 15-20 percent of US breast cancer cases are triple negative breast cancer (TNBC),2 which disproportionately affects younger women as well as African-American women, followed by Hispanic women.3
TNBC remains a poor-prognosis breast cancer subtype, with limited treatment options for patients with advanced, recurrent disease. In the recurrent disease setting, chemotherapy remains the standard of care, and median survival is approximately 13 months from the time of disease recurrence.4 Emerging evidence shows immunotherapy options may play an important role in the treatment paradigm for TNBC. Preliminary data demonstrated the anti-PD-1 antibody, pembrolizumab, led to an objective response in approximately 18 percent of TNBC patients;5 and in the heavily pretreated population led to an objective overall response in approximately 4-8% of patients; 6 the anti-PD-L1 antibody, MPDL3280A, achieved an objective response in 33 percent of patients.7 There is increasing evidence that tumors need TILs for anti-PD-1/PD-L1 therapies to be most effective. Data also show TILs promote better responses to chemotherapy and improve clinical outcomes in breast cancer, including TNBC.8-13
About OncoSec Medical Incorporated
OncoSec is a biotechnology company developing DNA-based intratumoral immunotherapies with an investigational technology, ImmunoPulse®, for the treatment of cancer. ImmunoPulse is designed to enhance the local delivery and uptake of DNA-based immune-targeting agents, such as plasmid encoded IL-12 (tavokinogene telseplasmid or "tavo"). In Phase 1 and 2 clinical trials, ImmunoPulse® IL-12 has demonstrated a favorable safety profile, evidence of anti-tumor activity in the treatment of various solid tumors, and the potential to reach beyond the site of local treatment to initiate a systemic immune response. OncoSec's lead program, ImmunoPulse IL-12, is currently in clinical development for metastatic melanoma and triple-negative breast cancer. The program's current focus is on the significant unmet medical need in patients with melanoma who are refractory or have relapsed on anti-PD-1 therapies. In addition to tavo, the Company is also identifying and developing new immune-targeting agents for use with the ImmunoPulse platform. For more information, please visit www.oncosec.com.

Apple's App Store crosses 300,000 apps
Dean Takahashi	 October 16, 2010 4:06 PM
Apple's App Store now has more than 300,000 apps as of the past day.
Mobclix's data shows that in the past 24 hours, Apple added the 300,000th app to its App Store. The number includes both free and paid apps available for downloading. That means that in a little more than two years, Apple has created one of the most population application platforms of all time. Apple crossed 250,000 apps on Aug. 28.
More than 1,000 new apps were added in the past day or so. At the moment, there are 300,975 apps, including 206,828 paid apps and 94,147 free apps. This is yet another significant milestone that shows how far a lead Apple has on others. How long will it be before there are a million apps on the App Store?
Our friends at Fortune have pointed out that there are a lot of inactive apps on the App Store and that other firms don't count them. 148apps notes there are 334,199 apps approved, 55,508 inactive aps, and 278,691 active apps. AppShopper says there are 335,257 approved apps, 55,282 inactive apps and 279,975 active apps. Neither of these has found an efficient way to count apps that are released overseas but not in the U.S. App Store.
By comparison, AndroLib.com reports there are 113,123 apps in the Android Market, though Google said last week there were 90,00 Android apps. Mobclix's own data shows 301,591 apps as of Monday. Of those, 259,071 are active and 42,520 are inactive.
Getting content noticed is a challenge for everyone making apps.

Jeff Siegel's Best Bets: Look who's Boss
Gulfstream Park – 10th race. Post Time: 4:45 ET
8 – Lady Boss (10-1)
First-timer has shown excellent speed in morning drills, including a bullet gate work last week in :47 1/5, the fastest of 52 for the distance. The daughter of Street Boss goes for a strong jockey-trainer combo in a field that doesn't have an abundance of early zip, so if she breaks with her field the Elizabeth Dobles-trained juvenile should be extremely dangerous at this abbreviated sprint trip of five furlongs on grass. At 10-1 on the morning, we'll make her a good price play in the win pool and in all of the exotic plays as well.
Belmont Park – 9th race. Post Time: 5:36 ET
4-Build to Suit (9/2)
Been away since October but has won off a 15-month layoff in the past, so we doubt he'll be rusty in this year's edition of the Commentator Stakes for New York-bred older horses. Lightly-raced at age 6 with just 10 career starts (six wins), the veteran in Chad Brown's barn likes to settle in mid-pack and produce a strong late kick, and in a race that projects to have quick early fractions the son of Dominus should be capable of producing the last run. He'll offer wagering value in the win pool and in rolling exotic play at or near his morning line of 9/2.
First Bet's features include wagering on all of the top tracks and A-I-enhanced handicapping tools that tap into a library of more than 200,000 past races to identify horses racing today that fit a winning pattern.

Carter's next typo-riddled press release claimed 2 Live Crew would be replaced by "The Original Sugarhill Gang," known for 1979's "Rapper's Delight" (recognized as one of the first hip-hop singles).
Along with Carter's band (Willie Psycho) and a San Diego—based band named Vegasaint, the eight-date tour is supposed to begin June 5 in Las Vegas. The press release claimed that tour dates and venues could be found at wwconcerts.com. As of last Friday, not a single date or venue had been posted. Phone calls to Carter yielded no information.
Meanwhile, Sugarhill Gang's official website lists them playing Houston on June 5 – not Vegas – with tickets having been on sale for weeks.
However, Wikipedia's Sugarhill Gang page says Joe Robinson founded the group with his wife Sylvia. The couple's son, Joey Robinson, today owns Sugarhill Records, and his version of the Sugarhill Gang has nothing to do with Carter's tour.
Tickets are being sold for one tour date on June 7, at Angels Roadhouse 2 in Apple Valley, California.

Willie Psycho says "It is rescheduled,at bigger venues." If it's bigger venues and not the original venues, that's not rescheduling. That's an all new tour, and the original dates and venues are canceled. It's only rescheduling if the shows willbe at the original venue on a different date. I doubt Angels Roadhouse would say their show was rescheduled. If the show will now be at a "bigger venue" then Angels Roadhouse and all the other smaller venue shows were canceled. And screwed.

Have been reading Mr. Sanford's blurts and cartoons for years...his information has never steered me wrong. I am assuming, anyone that has psycho as part of their name, has to act out some of it. I also wonder if the group has considered playin "Willie Psycho and the Hand Jive".

Why would Willie Psycho announce all these tours telling everyone details are on his website, and THEN he says he won't post the venue names until he collects all the venue deposits? That's not really announcing anything. And what happened to all the deposits he collected for all those canceled shows? His comment admits he's collecting venue deposits again, even though none of his shows with 2 Live crew or Sugar Hill have ever happened. I wouldn't want to be one of those poor venues!

Willie doesn't seem like such a bad guy. Jay, give the cat a break on the typos. You're going to have to join the Reader Typo Patrol, dude.
I think most people, when promoting their shows, get frustrated by various things. And, if something comes off even slightly negative, things get ugly fast.
I've written about parties, where I mention someones business. And, they are thrilled by it. Then, they have a customer that says something negative about the article, and the next day, I'm getting complaints from them. You can never make people happy.
So, as writers, we just try to do our job.
I'm sure Willie is just chillin', with a smoke dangling from his mouth, and is enjoying all the banter.
I think a funny solution to this, Jay, would be for you to do an OVERHEARD IN SAN DIEGO, in which you show Willie selling tickets to shows at various venues, with fans saying "The Sugarhill Gang? Do they do that rap where they say the chicken tastes like wood?"

Several years ago I was talking with a breeder friend of mine who raises Lady Gouldian finches. He went on to tell me how difficult it was to raise this species in captivity, how delicate they are, and that they are under appreciated because of the problems associated with breeding them. I bought four Gouldians from him that day and have successfully raised many generations of Gouldians over many years now, keeping around 200 specimens at a time. Ultimately, my relationship with Lady Gouldians has become exclusive and has largely defined my participation in the bird community. My flock consists of normals in all colors-blues, yellows and silvers. I bred Gouldians in my home for many years but quickly ran out of room.
"At one point, the dining room, basement and bathrooms were all full of birdcages. It occurred to me that I needed a bigger space, perhaps a building, to continue breeding my birds".
Three years ago work began on a 1600 square foot aviary, built next to my home, to house and raise Lady Gouldian finches. I wanted the aviary to be something very special, unlike any other aviary ever built. I spend lots of time properly caring for my birds and wanted a building that would not only provide a living environment which would compliment my Gouldians needs, but would also reduce the hours needed to care for my birds. About twelve months ago, I began moving my birds into their new home. I am very excited.
"The aviary itself is a one of a kind. The environmental controls and all manipulations needed to feed, bathe, water, and breed the Gouldians are external to the flights. I rarely enter the flights and I think the birds would rather have it that way anyway.
Here is how the building works."
Drinking Water � Each flight is equipped with two large Lixit water bottles for the birds to drink from. I prefer teaching my birds to drink from these bottles, as their water stays much cleaner in that the birds do not have the opportunity to bathe in their drinking water. I usually change the water every two or three days, or sooner if I am adding supplements or medications.

The New Rochelle Chamber of Commerce Announces Upcoming 56th Annual Thanksgiving Parade
The Chamber of Commerce of New Rochelle is again partnering with the City of New Rochelle to host the 56th Annual Thanksgiving Parade on Saturday, Nov. 23rd. This year's Grand Marshal is The New York Empire, the only professional sports team to call New Rochelle home and 2019 Champions of the American Ultimate Disc League (AUDL). The parade will kick off at 10 a.m. on North Avenue at Eastchester Road and proceed down North Avenue ending at Bonnefoy Place.
The New York Empire, owned by the Stevens Family and lead by head coach, Bryan Jones, finished their season with a victory against the Dallas Roughnecks (26-22), in August 2019. They not only won the championship title, but also became the third team in AUDL history to finish a season undefeated. The New York Empire has been a professional AUDL East Division team, having originated in Brooklyn before moving to New Rochelle's Joseph F. Fosina field at Flowers "City" Park in 2018. They have been devoted to the community; especially the youth, ever since their arrival.
President of the Chamber, Robert Hayes, said, "When they first joined the Chamber I knew they had something special. They were fun, fresh and community focused. As Champions they helped contribute to what makes New Rochelle great. We aren't just the Queen City on the Sound; we are a City of Champions!"
Barbara Stevens, owner of NY Empire said, "We could not have chosen a better place for the NY Empire to call home. We are thrilled to be a part of this community and cannot wait to get back on the field. It is our goal to represent NY and the City of New Rochelle with professionalism and to provide a fun, friendly, exciting experience. Ultimate is a great sport that anyone can play. Come out to support the team and join in the fun. Gooooo Empire!"
Noam Bramson, Mayor of New Rochelle, expressed how the parade contributes to the area by saying, "The Thanksgiving Parade is one of New Rochelle's most beloved traditions, bringing thousands of friends and neighbors together in celebration of the season and our community. This year, we will have the added pleasure of recognizing the New York Empire, 2019 American Ultimate Disc League Champions, which has brought pride to countless fans both within and beyond New Rochelle."
The parade will feature several big balloons including New Rochelle's hometown hero, Mighty Mouse, sponsored by United Hebrew celebrating their 100th Anniversary. The balloons will be joined by marching bands playing throughout the parade, clowns, beauty princesses, superheroes, singers and marchers from Iona and Monroe Colleges, local schools, businesses and organizations."Because the Parade is the 2nd largest parade for Thanksgiving in the state of New York outside of the Macy's parade, we invite all of our surrounding communities to join us for this spectacular event!" stated Diamond Wollaston and Jennifer Lanser, of the Chamber of Commerce.
North Avenue is also located right off the New Rochelle stop at the New Rochelle Transit Center on the Metro-North New Haven Line and can easily be accessed from all areas. The parade ends near Main Street where you can enjoy lunch and more fun activities.
WHO: The general public is invited to line the streets of North Avenue to cheer on and celebrate the marchers. There will be several viewing stands along the Parade route.
WHERE: The one mile parade shall start at Eastchester Road on North Avenue and Eastchester Road, in front of New Rochelle High school and proceed down North Ave. New for this year, the parade will end on North Avenue at Bonnefoy Place.
DETAILS: The Grand Marshals, dignitaries, Board Members, parade committee and sponsors will participate in a photo-op and event Ribbon Cutting at 9:45 AM on North Avenue and Eastchester Road with the large balloons as a backdrop to officially kick off the parade at 10 AM. For more information visit www.newrochellechamber.org or www.newrochelleny.com
The parade will be preceded by the New Rochelle Fund for Educational Excellence's Pancake Breakfast in the House IV cafeteria, starting at 8AM. For more information, visit www.nredfund.org.

on September 9th, Governor Andrew M. Cuomo signed legislation (S.4166A/A.1801B) establishing September 11th Remembrance Day. The new law allows for a brief moment of silence in public schools across the state at the beginning of the school day every September 11th to encourage dialogue and education in the classroom, and to ensure future generations have an understanding of the September 11th, 2001 terrorist attacks and their place in history. The law is effective immediately.
"9/11 was one of the single darkest periods in this state's and this nation's history, and we owe it to those we lost and to the countless heroes who ran toward danger that day and the days that followed to do everything we can to keep their memory alive," Governor Cuomo said. "By establishing this annual day of remembrance and a brief moment of silence in public schools, we will help ensure we never forget — not just the pain of that moment but of the courage, sacrifice and outpouring of love that defined our response."
Senator Joseph P. Addabbo, Jr., said, "I am grateful for Governor Cuomo's approval of my 9/11 observance bill. I am hopeful that this new law will mean that the significance of the tragic events of September 11th, whether it be the loss of loved ones or the largest rescue operation our nation ever witnessed, will be forever acknowledged by school students too young to have witnessed this life-changing day."
Assembly Member Stacey Pheffer Amato said, "Students graduating from High School as part of the Class of 2019 were just newborns during the terrorists attacks of September 11, 2001, and soon enough there will be no students in the national public school system born at the time of 9/11. By mandating a brief moment of silent reflection every year, we may ensure that future generations will better understand this day and its significance in our history. Governor Cuomo understands the importance of educating our children about our state and country's history. I applaud him for signing this bill into law and for his continued partnership."

With just over three weeks until Mickey Spillane's hosts Eastchester's Pints for Pat fundraiser, preparations are in full swing. Many local businesses have generously donated gift cards, gift baskets, and an array of services to help make the event on March 30th a success.
The event, a fundraiser for the Pat Tillman Foundation, is working to raise money to help support the Tillman Scholars program. Tillman Scholarships are awarded to servicemen and women who are pursuing educational studies. The Foundation also offers networking and professional development opportunities to active duty personnel, veterans, and their families.

Silent auction items will include a spa package donated by Scarsdale's Tranquility Spa and a foursome of golf at a private country club in Greenwich, Connecticut.
One of the most unique features of Pints for Pat events is the 20-oz Imperial pint glass, engraved with Pat Tillman's #42. The glass, a replica of the one Tillman used at the Rúla Búla Irish Pub in Tempe, Arizona, is free with the first 50 tickets purchased. Additional glasses will be available for purchase at the event.

With the Patriots and Rams kicking off Sunday evening, it's the perfect time to look ahead to another football-related event coming to our area this spring with a decidedly local flair.
On Saturday, March 30, Pints for Pat comes to Mickey Spillane's in Eastchester as a means of raising money for the Pat Tillman Foundation. The Foundation, which was created after the death of its namesake in 2004, works to provide scholarship, educational, and networking support for veterans and their families.
The choice of both venue and entertainment for the event makes Eastchester's Pints for Pat different out from other events. While Pints for Pat fundraisers have taken place across the country, they are typically in larger cities such as Seattle, Boston, Chicago, and Washington, D.C.
The first Pints for Pat was held in 2009 at Rula Bula, an Irish pub in Tempe, Arizona, frequented by Pat Tillman during his time with the Arizona Cardinals. Honoring that tradition, the Eastchester event organizers selected Mickey Spillane's as their site for the event. Mickey Spillane's is not only known for its Irish flavor, but for having a strong connection to the Eastchester community itself.
Local magician Tom Pesce, who has been performed at locations across the country in addition to playing venues such as Mohegan Sun, has been announced as the night's featured entertainment. Mr. Pesce, who is based out of Ridgefield, Connecticut, agreed to bring his talents to Pints for Pat.
"I was immediately interested in Pints for Pat when I was approached," Mr. Pesce recounts. "Pat Tillman encompassed qualities that we as Americans should hope to emulate: self-sacrifice, dedication, and love.
Tillman was able to put his love of the game, along with a healthy contract, on the back burner for the love of serving his country first. That is a true American. The true calling we all have is to serve others whenever and wherever we can; Pat Tillman put this calling into action when it was far from convenient, and he wound up making the ultimate sacrifice."
With over 20 years of experience, Mr. Pesce has played everything from large stages to smaller, intimate events. In many ways, Mr. Pesce's local ties made him an ideal candidate for event collaboration. As both an educator with multiple graduate degrees and as a father to three young girls, Mr. Pesce appreciates the goals of both the Pat Tillman Foundation and the fundraiser itself.
"Pat Tillman was an outstanding role model for young people," Mr. Pesce continues, "and I know that the results of this fundraiser will go to help more young people across the nation."
Time : 7-9pm
Tickets: $50, available at Mickey Spillane's, via Facebook (Pints for Pat – Eastchester, NY), or Eventbrite here

Blood and platelet donations often decline during the holidays. Regular donors are busy with holiday activities, and travel and severe winter weather may cause blood drive cancellations. Yet donations remain critical for patients like 4-year-old Wyatt Monacelli who is in the midst of intense chemotherapy treatments for leukemia. He has received a number of transfusions since his diagnosis in June and will likely need more. Locations in and around Eastchester are:
12/1/2018 8 a.m. - 1:30 p.m. First Presbyterian Church 1 West Putnam Ave
12/8/2018 8 a.m. - 1:45 p.m. Greenwich Public Safety Complex/New Greenwich Police Department 11 Bruce Place
12/12/2018 11:30 a.m. - 4:30 p.m. Greenwich Town Hall 101 Field Point Road
12/13/2018 1:30 p.m. - 6:30 p.m. Ridgefield Park & Recreation Center 195 Danbury Rd.
"We are fortunate to have had so many donors give the gift of life to our child so far throughout the course of his treatment, and even more so, we are lucky to have had a supply of blood available for him when he needed it," said Julianna Monacelli, Wyatt's mother.
Donors are urged to give now to ensure that families like Wyatt's don't have to worry about the availability of blood this winter. In thanks for helping meet the urgent need around the holidays, all those who come to donate blood or platelets now through Dec. 19, 2018, will receive a $5 Amazon.com Gift Card via email. (Restrictions apply; see amazon.com/gc-legal. More information and details are available at RedCrossBlood.org/Together.)
Make an appointment to donate blood or platelets by downloading the free American Red Cross Blood Donor App, visiting RedCrossBlood.org or calling 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800-733-2767).
Another way to help keep the blood supply strong is to host a Red Cross blood drive this winter. To learn more about hosting a blood drive and to sign up, visit RedCrossBlood.org/HostADrive.
How to donate blood
Simply download the American Red Cross Blood Donor App, visit RedCrossBlood.org or call 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800-733-2767) to make an appointment or for more information. All blood types are needed to ensure a reliable supply for patients. A blood donor card or driver's license or two other forms of identification are required at check-in. Individuals who are 17 years of age in most states (16 with parental consent where allowed by state law), weigh at least 110 pounds and are in generally good health may be eligible to donate blood. High school students and other donors 18 years of age and younger also have to meet certain height and weight requirements.
Blood and platelet donors can save time at their next donation by using RapidPass® to complete their pre-donation reading and health history questionnaire online, on the day of their donation, before arriving at the blood drive. To get started, follow the instructions at RedCrossBlood.org/RapidPass or use the Blood Donor App.

TGIF and raise your glass because today, Friday, September 28, is National Drink A Beer Day!
A recent report by 247WallStreet indicates that beer drinking among Connecticut residents has dwindled as of late. Come on Connecticut! We're ranked #49 of #50 for beer drinking, consuming 20.7 gallons of beer annually. That might seem like a lot, but not in comparison to New Hampshire which placed first by consuming 40.6 gallons of beer annually!
In the past decade, local breweries have been popping up all over Connecticut and around Eastchester. The State of Connecticut coined the phrase "The Connecticut Beer Trail" to highlight the many beer destinations. According to Connecticut Brewers Guild, promoters of Connecticut breweries, as of September 2018, there are 80 operational breweries (with many more on the horizon).
Here is a list of local breweries near Eastchester that you can check out:

Tantra literally means to "weave" or "loom" and is ultimately about weaving the beauty of every aspect of our Being…our dreams, passions, aspirations, loves and joys… into the "Great Tapestry" of our lives. Through the tantric view, we embrace our Divinity, and expand our Consciousness so we fill our lives with more Bliss, Love and Joy.
Tantra sees the sacredness of every aspect of our lives… all is INCLUDED in the Great Tapestry of LIFE!
From the physical to spiritual, mental to emotional, masculine to feminine, Light to shadow, the practice is all-inclusive, inviting us to transform every situation into one that brings greater joy, pleasure and happiness into our lives.
Even those areas that are dark, challenging or that we tend to avoid are seen as opportunities for growth and transformation.
divinegrace yoga embraces and honors the Divine Nature in All that exists and Invites us to include every aspect of our lives as an opportunity to bring us closer to Light (Higher Consciousness) and our HIGHEST TRUTH!
divinegrace yoga is perfect for everyone!


When in Rome...or at the Apiary. Don your Beekeeper suit and stay calm.
Bees all over the world are dying AND we really need them for pollination, not just for honey. Bees help all the other plants, fruits and flowers to grow.
I had the chance to learn more as part of a three day FAM trip (familiarization) for Bloggers during Tbex Europe 2015.
My visit to the Muria Apiary Centre d'Interpteació Apicola on the Costa Daurada, or Costa Dorada (you say potato) was enlightening, to say the least!
First we watched a video that explained everything in simple terms, so even a child could even understand it (good for me).
Then our guide Peter showed us around the museum and honey factory which has been in operation since the 1800's. Afterwards, those of us who were brave enough, played BEEKEEPERS out in the field for a day…or maybe it was only an hour.
Watch the video here to see how we fared under the pressure of bees flying and landing all over us!
I caught some of the action with my Pivothead eyeglasses camera, which worked well under the beekeeper suit.
Would you ever want to do this? Let me know in the comments.
The honey bee is the New Jersey State insect? Who knew!
Buzz buzz – I actually own one of those suits ! Because pest -control / did you know that the honey bee is nj state insect !?

"I didn't know how serious his marriage was," she explains.
Cheating allegations against Offset were leveled throughout their relationship and plagued the couple, who welcomed their adorable daughter Kulture into the world in July, and there's a ton of speculation that his infidelity is what caused the split.
TMZ caught up with one of the Migos rapper's alleged mistresses Summer Bunni, and she had a tearful explanation and apology for Cardi B.
Crying to the camera, she insists that she "has not messed with Offset since he had his baby" and that she never imagined that she would be a home wrecker. She says "I feel ashamed" and that she "never wanted to break up a happy home." According to Summer Bunni, she "didn't know how serious his marriage was" which…is a little crazy considering it's marriage but, okay!

It's normal for people to spend between 25 and 30 percent of their income on rent – that's what's considered affordable. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics' Nashville-Area Economic Summary, Nashville residents are spending, on average, 32 percent on housing… and many of those people would likely be better off buying.
But how do you reach renters? Further, how do you show them they'll benefit from buying?
There are hundreds of apartment buildings from Nashville to Franklin (and everywhere in-between). Other than launching a direct mail campaign, which we'll cover in a future blog post, there are a handful of ways to reach your target market.
Let's be honest: many renters think that buying is out of reach. The truth is, though, it's not. It's just up to you to show them how it can be done.
When you're talking to renters who are on the fence, so to speak, you can refer them to the NAR and Ginnie Mae Buy vs. Rent chart, which illustrates how much people will save over time if they make the switch. While it's not exact, and it may not be right for everyone, most people – especially in the Nashville area, where people are shelling out a huge chunk of income for rent – really will benefit from buying a home.

Which CRM should I choose? Agility is key to sales and can put your business ahead of the competition. And the most agile CRM solutions today tend to be SaaS or cloud-based and they can adapt to both small business and enterprise needs. That's why these solutions are also often a varied lot. It's easy to get overwhelmed with choices: basic or complex, general or vertical, modular or end-to-end, standalone or integrated, cloud or on-premise or hybrid, free or paid.
But while large enterprise have their tech teams and consulting agencies to guide them when choosing the right CRM, small and medium-sized companies are often left with only intuition to light the path for them. This guide aims to help you solve that pain point.
At the end of this article, you will have a clearer picture of your needs that will point your product purchase journey to the right direction.
Investing in CRM software is one of the most important strategic decisions you'll make. It's not easy (and advisable) to switch platform midway, so getting it right for the first time is critical.
So, ask yourself first if you need a CRM software.
Do I need a CRM software?
Even before you start looking around for the different CRM software you should evaluate your needs first. So let's be clear about your needs — ask yourself, do I have any of these problems?
If you answer yes to any or all of these, you need a CRM software.
While all CRM software solutions aspire to help you get more leads and more conversions of these leads, they differ in how they achieve this. It's the how in CRM software that you need to look closely at.
How do the features help me?
How does pricing impact my budget?
How does its deployment suit my capabilities?
How does it integrate with my other systems?
By asking these questions you're looking at CRM software from your own perspective and not base your research just on vendor capabilities. This is the first step to answering the question of which CRM should I choose wisely.
How is your sales process configured?
Many CRM solutions are packaged by business size to match how their clients' sales process is set up. For instance, there are some CRM solutions ideal for small business, while others are CRM enterprise systems designed for large organizations.
Are your sales workflows simple or complicated?
How is sales integrated with marketing or other teams?
Do sales reps report to you directly or are they a part of multiple sales teams, each with its hierarchical structure?
You'll notice too that some solutions like HubSpot CRM scale to both small business and enterprise needs. So, it's important that you look into the next few years and gauge how your sales process will evolve. Your CRM solution should grow with you.
If you have simple sales process go for small business CRM.
If you have complex sales process go for enterprise CRM.
In many cases, it's best to invest in a scalable solution like HubSpot CRM, which scales to your needs as your business grows.
Tip: To quickly start your product research you can refer to our detailed top 15 CRM guide. It's a good investment to build your CRM growth stack and future-proof your data as your business expands.
Whether you have basic or complex sales pipeline, HubSpot CRM can easily adapt to it with configurable sales stages and properties.
What are the priority CRM features I need?
Once you've figured out why your sales process is off, it will become clear which CRM features you'll need. A large enterprise can easily opt for an end-to-end solution, but a startup or growing business has to thread a thin line between functionality and budget. This is where your priorities kick in. Many CRM solutions are scaled to the capabilities of their feature set.
Contact management. Organizes your customer data, at the least, places them in a centralized database. Usually, the basic plan starts with a cap on number of records and users and basic filtering.
Sales pipeline. CRM is all about visibility on your deals. Among its basic functions, the sales pipeline helps you see the value of deals, where they are in the sales stage and who's handling which deal.
Deals. Enables you to enter data like value, contacts, status and person in charge.
Automation. Some of the basic automation you need include tools to track customer interactions, schedule email follow-ups, log reps' activities and sync records.
Alerts and notifications. You'll also need the ability to set rules for alerts, such as for follow-up calls or emails, appointments and tasks.
Basic integration. At the least the CRM should enable you to attach files, sync with popular emails like Gmail and Outlook, import/export standard file formats and access popular social networks for brand mentions and public profiles.
Contact management. Smart search, automation including instant field entry, association with relevant data, real-time updates and customer segmentation.
Email templates. Out-of-the-box templates for a variety of sales letters.
Document management. An integrated file manager to centralize sales documents for quick sorting, sharing and access.
Call center. Integrated phone that lets you place calls straight out of the CRM interface.
Integrated marketing features. Lead nurturing, predictive lead scoring, web forms, landing pages and campaign integration.
Takeaway: Make sure the CRM feature set matches the size of your sales operation. That usually means startups and small businesses subscribe to the basic plan and only move up to higher plans when their requirements grow. Nonetheless, no matter how small your sales team, it's best to start with baseline features to optimize the benefits of CRM.
Tip: Some basic CRM plans are free. After evaluating a bunch of these plans, we found out that HubSpot CRM isn't only the best entry option, but it comes with full features you'd expect from a higher plan, so it's a great starting point. You can sign up for HubSpot CRM free app here to immediately test their features).
As an enterprise CRM HubSpot has robust analytics to dig deeper into your sales performance.
What are the other useful features I may need in a CRM?
Even as you cherry pick the CRM's key features you should also keep in mind its other aspects. These include ease of use, integration, support and pricing. All these will have an impact on your CRM's ROI.
This indicates vendor reliability. There's a misconception that the more support channels the vendor has, the better. It isn't always the case.
To begin with, if the CRM solution is intuitive, you'll have little need for support. So, multi-channel support may not be a deal breaker. What you need at the basic level, though, is a robust knowledge base of best practices. Consider a vendor with an active and robust knowledge base like the HubSpot community sharing best practices and tips. This gives you a layer of assurance that the vendor is reliable and in touch with its user base, plus, of course, you get to learn from other users' experiences.
No doubt pricing is a major factor when shopping around for CRM software, but it shouldn't be the deciding factor. Your business is not built on how much it saves, but how much it gains. Hence, it is best to evaluate CRM software around ROI, specifically, the one with the best value for your money. For cloud CRM, consider your situation when deciding on pricing.
Monthly plan – if cash flow is tight, a monthly plan may be appropriate. This ensures your budget is not stretched thin.
Annual plan – if you can afford to advance payment this plan rewards you with significant savings.
Free – if you're short in cash or unwilling to commit it yet but want to get your sales team up to speed in CRM. Free apps are also a good practice run to assess how CRM can work for you.
Should you choose a free CRM software?
A free CRM may seen very attractive. But can it deliver your CRM goals? If you look at the leading free CRM software solutions in the market today, many of them are pared down versions of the paid tool. Some lack mailer integration, deal funnel view, sales forecasting and custom settings or have a cap on number of users or records. All of these are important even at the basic level. They may be free, but if they limit your CRM actions. They're not delivering the right value.
However, in our analysis of popular free apps, we found that HubSpot CRM belongs to a unique level. That's because despite being free it has all the key features you'll need to start building your CRM infrastructure. These include a visual sales pipeline, bi-directional mail integration, built-in mailer with email sequences, smart contact management and other tools commonly found in paid plans.
Consider using HubSpot CRM not because it's free, but because despite of it, you get a fully feature set. That's a healthier way of looking at free stuff, without compromising your goals. If you'd like to see how it compares to paid solutions in terms of features and flexibility you may take a look at this HubSpot CRM vs Salesforce comparison.
Look closely at ease of use and integration; they can be the deciding factor between two similarly featured CRM solutions.
Evaluating pricing is not about savings, but value. A free CRM like HubSpot is appealing not because it's free, but despite of it, you get all the essential features.
How to find the best CRM on the market?
Once you got your sales process and your priorities clearly set out by following our tips above, you can now start comparing your options. A good starting point is to check our CRM software rankings. Most of these solutions will match the growing requirements of small and medium-sized companies.
Read product reviews for leads on the top solutions.
Read user reviews to get a feel on how existing customers find the software.
Once you narrow down your options to around five solutions, you can sign up for a free trial and explore the features. See how the tools actually fall in (or out of) place along your workflows.
Here's something you can do if your sales team is just starting out on CRM, not just the software, but the principle itself: get a free CRM software.
At no cost to you, the freeware gets your sales team to practice CRM principles before you commit to paid plans. At the base level, your reps will learn to capture the important contact details, qualify leads using data, sort prospects in a systematic way and track deals in an organized manner. The free CRM trains your team to account for CRM practices and they'll be ready once you invest in a premium CRM subscription later. If you want to try a highly recommended free CRM now you can easily sign up for the HubSpot CRM free app here.

Ethereum, the third-largest cryptocurrency by market value, has hit an all-time high after breaking through the $1,000 mark for the first time.
The digital currency rose above $1,000 per unit in early trading on Thursday. Ethereum's rise echoes that of other alternative cryptocurrencies, such as ripple, which have experienced massive surges as bitcoin loses its market dominance.
Ethereum's market capitalization rose above $100 billion for the first time on Thursday, according to Coinmarketcap data. One ether was worth between $700 and $800 for most of the second half of December but, over the past week, this has rallied by 40 percent.
Ripple is still the second-biggest cryptocurrency by market capitalization after massive surges - including a 1,300-percent increase over the last month - led it to surpass ethereum a week ago.
Despite the growth of other cryptocurrencies, bitcoin still sits at the top in terms of market capitalization at $251 billion, with its price at more than $15,000. Bitcoin has seen a 25-percent fall from its record of more than $20,000 in mid-December.

Italy is set to become the first country to add a mandatory curriculum for schools that focuses on studying the climate crisis.
Starting in September 2020, students of all grades in state schools will be required to have 33 hours per year of courses that incorporate climate change, sustainability, and environmental footprints. Traditional subjects will also incorporate elements of climate study like geography, math, and physics.
The decision comes as youth around the world have been mobilizing and protesting lawmakers' inaction on the climate crisis. Millions of people joined global climate strikes in September.
Italian Education Minister Lorenzo Fioramonti said in a tweet that he wants "Italy to become a leader against climate change." He's been an avid supporter of fighting the climate crisis, and was criticized by his opposition in the past for encouraging young people to take action, and for his proposed taxes on airline tickets, sugary foods, and plastic.
"The entire ministry is being changed to make sustainability and climate the center of the education model," Fioramonti told Reuters.
Fioramonti is also a professor of economics at South Africa's Pretoria University and has written books about gross domestic product no longer needing to be the country's main source of success.
A panel of experts will help build the new curriculum, including Jeffrey D. Sachs, director of Columbia University's Center for Sustainable Development, and American writer and economic and social theorist, Jeremy Rifkin.
A spokesperson for Fioramonti said the idea of the new course study is to get young people ready for a climate emergency in the future.
