Some of you may have read and enjoyed Lord of the Rings by J.R.R.Tolkein, an Oxford don. One of his friends and a fellow(sic!) don was C.S.Lewis, who famously wrote The Chronicles of Narnia. He (Lewis) also wrote several other books exploring the themes of Christianity and Atheism.
I particularly like this one, The Screwtape Letters which he wrote during WW2, in 1941. I can recommend it to all my religious readers and to the Atheists too.
There is a river - the Altenau - which runs through the valley where we live. Usually it is only about 5 inches deep, falling dry in the dry season and rising to 1 to 2 feet deep at the thaw and during autumn thunderstorms. This is because it is well regulated by a dam built upstream in Husen in the late sixties because in 1965 huge flash floods swept down the valley, raising the river tens of feet and drowning a few people.
But now some goddamn interfering environmentalist Eurocrap has introduced legislation requiring that all rivers be navigable for fish, crabs and other wildlife all the way from the mouth to the source. What fish? In the Altenau it would be at most sticklebacks, nothing bigger, let alone fishable!
So the dam has to go they allege! Seriously?
I took this picture from the top of the dam, where the road now runs. You can see the old road on the lower left of the photo. It rarely flooded because the lake-overflow (see photo lower right) kept the water level down.
As you can see, the 'stream' aka river through the lake-bed mud-flats is barely 1-2 feet across and currently just 4 inches deep.
But now we have to live with the risk of flash-floods again just so some stickle-back loving Eurocrap legislator can pat himself on the back??? Maybe we should just hogtie them naked and 'waterboard'/drag them all the way from mouth to source just so they can see how little water there is in these drought-decades and perhaps appreciate the senselessness of their arbitrary 'environmentalism!
Happy New Year to all of my Jewish readers (if there are any). Today is the first day of the Jewish Year 5775. Actually it started at sunset yestreen, Jews start counting at sunset probably because the World started in the dark (Genesis 1:2 says "In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. The earth was formless and void, and darkness was over the surface...").
Schoolchildren had been asked to suggest to police where they deemed it especially dangerous and one guy was indeed caught doing 60 in a 30 area around a kindergarten. The schoolchildren were present too, to lecture speeders on the dangers, this being deemed morally more effective than the cops giving the lecture. One such young lad in Dusseldorf nicked his own mother :-) A primary schoolgirl even caught her own class teacher!
A few two-wheelers were nabbed too, mostly scooter commuters, none of our local bikers who were well-behaved (or elsewhere, canyon-racing ;-) Drivers of underpowered scooters and cars are used to driving pedal to the metal whereas methinks riders of big-bikes are used to exercising more twist-of-the-wrist restraint on a day-to-day urban basis.
Meanwhile, beautiful blonde Valerie Thompson set her 7th land speed record on her BMW S1000RR at the Bonneville Salt Flats in Utah. 208.81 mph on what is basically a street bike, just with the mirrors removed for aerodynamic fine tuning (MPS-G 1000 (literbike) class).
* : "Eppur si muove!" is what Galileo said ( = nevertheless it moves) after the Inquisition forced him to recant his heliocentric model of the universe.
Charles (USA) asked "When I read your post, I looked her (Valerie Thompson) up and found a YouTube video where it looks like the tach goes to 14,000 RPM. When did production engines start turning so fast? Last time I checked 6 or 7 thousand was the typical limit." Over 10 years ago, with the move to short-stroke engines. The limiting factor is metal-on-metal piston rubbing speeds which should not exceed 22 m/sec if the engine is to live for a while (road engines). Formula 1 engines, without a 100,000 km lifetime target, may reach 37 m/sec or more! Drag engines even above 40m/sec. The BMW S1000RR engine is a typical modern short-stroke engine. The stroke is 49.7 mm (1.96 inches). Two strokes per rev times 13,000 rpm (peak power for the road bike) = 21.537 m/sec average piston speed. So it's on this metallurgical limit. These engines have 4 valves, so valve bounce is not a problem as it was with the heavy valves of 2-valve engines (limited to about 7000 rpm). The Formula 1 engines use pneumatic valve return, avoiding spring-inertia. Ducati bikes use desmodromic valves. My road bike has a 52.3 mm stroke and peaks at 12,600 rpm which translates to 22 m/sec average piston speed. The rev-limiter is set to cut in at 14,000 rpm (way past peak power) to save the valves kissing the pistons. It has over 50,000 kms now and is in the best of health.
Robert (B) asks "You wrote 'Two strokes per rev times 13,000 rpm'. So what does that imply for accelerations on the pistons?" Of the order of ten-thousand Gees, which is why conrods are made of steel or titanium. The valves have a shorter stroke (say ½ to 1 cm) so that'd be 1 to 2000 Gees which the valve springs have to provide, one reason why Ducati uses cams to close the valves (which is what 'desmodromic' means).
So this blogpost is dedicated to all those loving and CARING people, husbands, wives, brothers, sisters, sons, daughters, and the nurses and staff in geriatric homes everywhere who look after the Alzheimer sufferers.
The Vincent was the Brit superbike of the 1950s, a 1000cc V-twin and a 500cc single (the Comet). Back in 1965 the 59 club published this poem of mine about one. Rare as hens' teeth nowadays and thus expensive. So it was nice to see so many of them together and meet their owners.
The oldest particpant was Werner Jährig, in his eighties, who has ridden this 1947 Shadow sidecar outfit since 1962. He rode over from Oberhausen on it for the Tonenburg weekend meet. Werner also owns a Moto Guzzi Mille GT outfit, Michael Burkert tells me.
Werner was accompanied by Michael Kamper on his Norvin. A Norvin has a Vincent 1000cc V-twin engine in a Norton Featherbed frame (renowned for its excellent handling). Michael bought a 1951 D-Shadow in bits three years ago and built this Norvin himself. It weighs a mere 202 kg, despite having a sidecar-capable frame. With a Manx frame it might weigh 10 kg less(?). Michael uses Maxton forks which he regards as an improvement over the original Norton Roadholders. Others teased him about his "Oil sardine" as the engine was losing a few drops of oil (see photo below). Since Michael lives near Neuss, he managed to get a neat registration number, NE-RO 51 (George Brown's unsupercharged first works sprinter was called "Nero" ;-).
In the photo below we see Horst Tannhauser (68) who 'popped over' from the Canary Islands just to take part on this 1949 Rapide (FRI-TE83) which also belongs to Ernst (see above). Dedication!
Next interviewee was Michael Burkert (62) who came down from Hamburg on a 1950 Rapide (HH-Z1139) which he has modified considerably (no matching numbers); I noticed the Amal carbs. His longest trip on it has been down to Augsburg in Bavaria. Michael is the guy who organised this Vincent meet and to whom all thanks are due for doing so!
The next photo I took was of an Egli Vincent, note the nickeled frame and the DBD34 "Goldie" 'silencer' (for want of a better word ;-). Sadly I couldn't find the owner (Schorsch Colin Manning[UK]) to interview him. This bike is produced by Patrick Godet in France under a "license"-agreement with Fritz Egli, incorporates a couple of modifications made by Godet himself and is actually a modern bike.
Then Kai Heide (52) rolled up on a second Comet, this is a Comet C dating from 1950 which Kai has owned since 2000.
His major modification has been the addition of disc brakes to cope with the added load of sidecar work.
Kai also pointed out to me that Vincent rear wheels usually have two sprockets, one on each side, so that you can change easily from solo to sidecar gearing just by flipping the rear wheel around! Clever design!
Next I talked to Calle Sööblom (62) who had ridden XXF 604 over 900 kms from Sweden to attend! It is a 1954 Shadow he bought in 2000 and which has caused absolutely no problems. He has added disc brakes and a touring fairing and panniers, riding the 60 yr. old bike as far south as Italy.
I'm not sure that I have spelled everyone's name correctly. If not, perhaps they or Michael Burkert could mail me (mail (at) savory (dot) de) with corrections. I only spent an hour there so this was only half the bikes, there were plenty more, but I missed their owners and my time ran out; sorry!
The permanent link for this particular blog entry, Vincent fans, is http://www.savory.de/blog_sep_14.htm#20140919 if you ever need to refer to it.
Michael Kamper (D) wrote & I translate "...the Egli in your photo is not Schorsch's. It belongs to Colin Manning (UK)" OK, I have corrected the text.
Pierre (F) asks "I like the idea of biker-only hotels; you once mentioned another one. Please post both links." Wilco. The Tonenburg (German webpage only) is idyllically located on a bend in the river Weser, just off the B64, between Höxter and Holzminden. Sunday brunch is/was great value for money (5 courses for under 15 Euros). Used to be owned by the (now-retired) old biker-couple Pirone; I haven't met the new owners yet. They have opened it up to non-bikers too though, which may cause a clash of expectations e.g. re noise-levels :-( The other one I mentioned, located in Lauenfoerde near Beverungen, just off the river Weser too, owned by the Pirone's children, is called Villa Loewenherz. Webpages in German, English and Dutch.
This is just to remind my German readers to drive carefully tomorrow. Politicians have decided that "Speed kills" and are demonizing it. So they are dedicating as much police time as possible for 24 hours to operating speedtraps in the hope of catching the unwary. Obviously this is cheaper and more lucrative than actually investing road tax funds for the purpose for which they were intended, viz. keeping the roads in good condition and free of potholes etc.
He got a hefty fine and forfeited his licence for several months.
Presumably none of you are stupid enough to think that officially documenting your maximum speed is going to increase the resale value of your vehicle!
Here's a link to Scotland's referendum blog. Sassenachs may ignore this post.
Darryl (USA) asks "So what would the non-union jack look like?". See here.
Cop Car (USA) wrote : " Can you explain to me the logic behind lowering the minimum age for voting on the question to age 16? This seems contrary to what studies are showing about maturation of the human brain and judgment. Or, perhaps, lack of judgment should be deemed an admirable quality in voters? Or, perhaps, I'm not aware of the latest thinking?" Same thinking that foreigners who live in Scotland could vote, they and the youths are the ones that would bear the consequences. Scots abroad (like me and those living in England) could not vote.
Renke (D) replied to CopCar " Cop Car wrote about studies showing that teh youngsters are stupid and egocentric (paraphrased). Does she have some links? The argument for voting at the age of 16 is mostly to countersteer tendencies of older voters to ignore long-term problems and needs of later generations (no valid sources, though - I know next to nothing about the state of art in psychology and political sciences)." Yes, the aim was to get those who would bear the consequences to vote.
Zipping up against the cold breeze in an open cockpit reminded me of my days flying old biplanes (Bücker Jungmann, Stearman duster, etc).
This is the autogyro's instrument pod. L2R top row are Rotor speed (1900-3200 rpm), Altimeter (700 feet a.m.s.l airfield elevation), airspeed indicator, an orange watch added as an afterthought, and the engine oil pressure gauge. L2R bottom row are rev-counter, main circuit-breaker, radio, variometer, oil temperature and cylinder-head temperature. No compass!
Circling south of our village I got a good shot of our house (ringed here).
Also, a spectacular shot of Wewelsburg castle, Germany's best-known triangular castle (there are only 2 or 3 of them). Now a youth-hostel.
Then turned back to the airfield (EDLP) because it was starting to rain.
Cop Car (USA) wrote : " Ah, yes, what memories open-cockpit flying would evoke. Congratulations on getting to check that off of your list - and - on the great photos you took while enjoying the flight. Well done!" Thanks lass; you would have enjoyed it too!
Local german blogger Torsten, who used to drive a taxi in our local town of Paderborn and blogged about his adventures in the Taxi Blog has quit his job as a taxi driver after nine(?) years and is now starting afresh (at the ripe old age of 43) in a call-center for a large energy-provider. We'll all miss his taxi blog, but I hope we'll soon be hearing "Tales from a call-center" if his new employer allows such a blog.
Blogfriend Renke and I shared a ride in Torsten's taxi a few years ago, so he is one of the few (a score?) bloggers whom I have actually met in the flesh.
S tarting on 23rd September, a new 10 Euro note will be issued. These are the security features to look for.
At position A : as you tip the note back and forth the colour of the number 10 changes from green to blue and a stripe moves up and down.
At position B : there is a watermark showing the mythological figure of the goddess Europa.
At position C : there is a vertical security stripe which appears dark when held up to the light.
At position D : there are four holograms, Goddess Europa, a window, then the € symbol and the denomination (10).
At position E : there are tactile stripes at the right edge which you can feel.
Source : European Central Bank.
PS: Whenever there is a change of currency there is an increased number of counterfeits, so keep your eyes peeled. BTW, the existing €10 notes retain their validity too.
Renke (D) wrote "I would like to see the M0 changes if Draghi had to sign every note personally :)" Heh heh. Me too. But I wonder what will happen to d(MZM)/dt as a predictor if we get into DEflation?!?
No, I shall NOT be doing the Ice Bucket Challenge. What started life as a "Genteel Cubicle Hack" to collect money for a deserving charity (ALS research) since got anagrammed into "Ice Bucket Challenge" and has gone downhill from there.

We spent a pleasant couple of hours in Germany's sailplane museum. Here is a shot of one of the rooms there, filled with classic sailplanes.
Then we lunched on the tower terrace and watched the launching action. This is a Robin DR180 doing the tow, which I also used 3+ decades ago.
Around 6 pm we got home, having sat out a rainstorm in a roadside cafe´. Ten days, around 3000 kms, averaging 60km/h, just under 5 hours rolling time each day. The rest of the time was spent sightseeing, etc.
Very enjoyable ride, but tiring at my age (70). Trip report now finished.
Sunday morning we had to leave the Alps and head for our next overnight stay, in picturesque Pottenstein (northern Bavaria).
Pottenstein is a tiny town nestled in a narrow valley with steep sides. It houses a museum of medieval "justice", here's a photo of the guillotine.
The photo on the left shows a bejewelled chastity belt about 1000 years old. The photo on the right shows a sign on one of the breweries. Other towns of this size might have nine pubs, Pottenstein has nine breweries!

Relax, Brides: Don't Believe the Hype About "Ring Selfies"
Joan Kron
Women used to phone their best friends when they became engaged. Now, as we've been reading lately, the bride-to-be's first call is to her dermatologist to schedule a "hand job" (or hand-lift, if you prefer). It's not enough to diet to fit into her wedding gown; she needs to get her fingertips and wrists in shape for the newly important "ring selfie." Because appearances matter on Facebook.
Well, despite recent reports in the Daily Mail and The New York Times of women spending up to $3,000 for injections to plump wrinkled skin and laser treatments to fade brown spots on their hands, our survey of some of the busiest dermatologists in the country found no evidence of an actual trend. Not one could remember injecting a bride's hand, though mothers-of-the-bride are prime customers for hand rejuvenation. Even a diamond expert we spoke to expressed surprise when told of cosmetic procedures for better-looking hand photos. "I've never heard of it," said a saleswoman at a major diamond merchant (who requested anonymity).
Even if elaborate hand-lifts for better selfies were real, they wouldn't do a thing for perhaps the most important part of an eye-catching ring photo: the ring. The average diamond in American engagement rings is no larger than a good-size ear stud—1.1 carats, at a cost of $5,431. Demure stones can be lovely close up, of course, but in a selfie, they may look like pieces of glass. Ideally, a diamond should be photographed with a professional camera, an extra light source, reflectors, and filters that can add points of sparkle, says Erik Asla, a fashion photographer in Los Angeles and New York City.
But there is no need to hire a pro. If flaunting the ring in a selfie is a bride's goal, she can save a bundle by skipping the derm appointments and sending the selfie to one of the many digital retouchers who advertise on the Internet. For about $200, a retoucher can erase scars, veins, sun spots, and lumpy joints; correct skin color and texture; and even lengthen fingers—and make that diamond sparkle. Most brides' rings will never match Beyoncé's 18-carat sparkler, but they can all be made to look D-flawless.

Sholom Aleichem's Tevye the Dairyman
To be rescheduled when in-person classes are again possible.
Most of us know Tevye only through the movie Fiddler on the Roof, or more recently, from the Off-Broadway Yiddish production of Fiddler on the Roof but the real Tevye is quite a different story. It is one so compelling and brilliant that several years ago in a listing of the 100 greatest Jewish books compiled by the National Yiddish Book Center it was one of only two works to be chosen by every member of the panel of experts on Jewish Literature (in many languages). In this 4-week class we will do a close reading of the text (total of 120 pages). You will discover, among other things, that there are 7 daughters, not 5, and that Chava and Chvedke do not leave together for Kiev and that none of Tevye's "On the one hand, on the other" are actually found in the text.
Led by FTJC member Sheva Zucker, author of the textbooks Yiddish: An Introduction to the Language, Literature & Culture, Vols.

Heinrich Albert Schnee (Albert Hermann Heinrich Schnee; 4 February 1871 – 23 June 1949) was a German lawyer, colonial civil servant, politician, writer, and association official. He served as the last Governor of German East Africa.

Early life and education
Schnee was born in Neuhaldensleben, the son of the district court Councillor Hermann Schnee (1829–1901) and his wife Emily (née Scheibe). He attended high school in Nordhausen, and studied law in Heidelberg (as a member of the Corps Rhenania Heidelberg), Kiel, and Berlin (Dr. jur., 1893).

Career
In 1897, he began working in the Federal Foreign Office, and in 1898 he became a judge and the Deputy Governor of German New Guinea. In 1900, he became a District Officer and Deputy Governor of German Samoa. When in New York, Schnee, in 1901 married Ada Adeline Woodhill (1873-1969), a New Zealand actress of English and Irish extraction.

After 1904 he again served as a Legation Councillor in the Colonial Department of the Foreign Office in Germany. In 1905 he became Colonial Advisory Councilor of the embassy in London, in 1906 Lecturing Councillor, and in 1907 Dirigent. From 1911 onwards he was Ministerial Director and head of the political and administrative division in the Imperial Colonial Office in Berlin.

Governor of German East Africa

From 1912 to 1918 Schnee served as the last Governor of German East Africa. His tenure was marked by the outbreak of the First World War. As Governor he held supreme military command. However, he soon disagreed with the commander of the Schutztruppe, General Paul von Lettow-Vorbeck, on defensive strategy. Ultimately von Lettow-Vorbeck prevailed with his guerrilla tactics and increasingly assumed control of operations. Schnee, besides his administrative responsibilities, also had to reconcile his family, and according to Wilhelm Methner, who served under the governorship of Schnee as First Secretary, "the wife of the governor, who was English by birth, suffered the bitter fate of seeing the sons of her fatherland and of her adoptive country in battle against each other. This brave and upright woman had to bear with much hostility". On 2 March 1919, Schnee and Lettow-Vorbeck led the returning fighters from East Africa through the Brandenburg Gate in Berlin.

Political activity

After the First World War, Schnee was a member of the parliament (Reichstag). He represented the German People's Party, from which he resigned in 1932. There were some press speculations in 1932 about Schnee becoming Chancellor. From 1933 to 1945 he again held a Reichstag seat, now for the Nazi Party. An active colonial policy as understood by Schnee, the reason for his continued involvement in politics, was not among the new rulers' interests.

Schnee was also internationally known as a leading representative of German colonial interests and was repeatedly invited to lectures in the United States and other European countries. He was appointed to the League of Nations' Manchuria Commission (the Lytton Commission) which negotiated with China and Japan regarding their military conflict over influence in Manchuria and reported to the League of Nations.

Association official

In 1926, Schnee became the president of the Federation of Germans abroad, a position he held till 1933. From 1930 to 1936 he served as the (last) President of the German Colonial Society (DKG) which then was supplanted by the Reichskolonialbund (RKB). After the Second World War, the Allies considered Schnee incriminated because he had held a Nazi Party Reichstag seat, and he could not continue his work. He died in 1949 in a car accident in Berlin and was buried in a cemetery near the highway.

Historical assessment

Heinrich Schnee is one of the figures in German colonial revisionism. Through publication of books and essays, as a politician, and as a federation official and lecturer, he tried to give the "colonial question" national importance and to promote the recovery of the former colonial territories. With the Gleichschaltung of the colonial associations in 1936 it became clear that his influence was gone. Schnee was not considered for a position in the RKB and he did not join the new association.

This vegetable stir-fry goes well with any Asian dish. The key to perfectly cooked eggplant? Make sure to sauté them quickly over high heat just until they're tender.
In a wok or frying pan, heat oil. Sauté onions until translucent. Add garlic and ginger; sauté until fragrant.
Add bell peppers and sauté until tender. Increase heat to medium-high then add eggplants and chilies; mix well.
Season with sweet chili sauce, oyster sauce, and pepper. Transfer to a serving platter and top with bean sprouts and peanuts. Serve hot.


Audits, both internal and external, should be cited as a part of your company s Preventive Action program. They are in part meant to detect problems early. Identified nonconformances typically should trigger an investigation.


The price on the Nexus 5X just keeps on getting better and better. Today the price has fallen to a new low of just $269.99 on eBay. Here is a quick rundown of the specs for the three of you readers who have never heard of this device before.
Those are pretty mid-range by today's standards, but $270 is a mid-range price to match. If prompt, frequent Android updates and a budget price are your priorities in deciding which new phone to buy, then this is certainly a great option.
The 5X is currently available in both the Carbon (black) and Quartz (white) colors – the Ice (greenish-blue) option has already sold out (seriously, who makes up these stupid color names). Make up your mind quick on this one, as they will likely go fast. Shipping is free and, as it ships from New Hampshire, no tax will be added for any buyer in the US.


The Atlanta Preservation Center added quite a few new tours this year to its Phoenix Flies program and I was thrilled to see a fire station on the schedule. It's pretty incredible to go from playing with toy fire engines (when I was a kid) to sitting in the real thing. And the Firemen at Fire Station No. 19, a step back in time to 1924, were incredibly welcoming hosts.
We almost didn't make it to the tour. We were running a little bit late, but decided to go anyway… And I'm so glad we did.
I went with Barry, whose father was a fireman and later the Chief of Fire Prevention when Barry was a kid, so this was old hat for him—he'd been in the Fire Truck seat before. Although, truth be told, it looked like he was having as much fun as all the other little kids who were visiting that day (That's him in the first photo).
It was the first time I ever got to sit in a real Fire Engine, so I was understandably overly excited. I myself rapidly swinging back-and-forth between blogger, little kid, tourist, little kid, writer, little kid. etc. Needless to say I had a lot of fun.
When we got there, they were only then about to begin the tour. Turns out the guys had just come back from an alarm, so we didn't miss the beginning.
We met three of the firemen who were there to host the tour, each of them wonderfully engaging. One of them, who is a foster parent, was particularly great with the children who there for the tour.
They let the kids wear a fireman's hat (us too!), blow the engine siren, use the fire hose, toured them around the firehouse, demonstrated sliding down the pole from upstairs, and even took them on top of the fire truck! He did all of that with their parents' permission, of course.
Being the big kids we were that day, we couldn't resist asking a bazillion questions, some of them more technical in nature, though. Fireman Hampton shared some pretty amazing and thought-provoking insights on the decision-making process firemen go through immediately prior to going into a burning building or a burning home.
He noted the importance of their breathing apparatus. He reminded us that certain fires have very toxic chemicals in the air, a result from burning building materials, or furniture, etc. He noted other dangers of a fireman's career, not looking for sympathy at all, but matter of fact and in answer to our questions. What he shared has given me a renewed respect for the profession.
He also showed us just how much equipment firemen have to wear and bring when answering a call. There's a lot more than just the breathing apparatus and helmet! Have a look at the above picture…this is all the materials that a fireman has to wear and bring with.
Another of the fireman toured us around the firehouse. He told us about a capital campaign to refurbish and modernize Atlanta's most continually operating firehouse, the one in which we were in. We toured the renovated kitchen (very impressive)…all of which was done by the firemen themselves, except for the custom table which was sent out.
I happened to notice on the way out of the kitchen a bulletin board that was loaded with notes from kids thanking the firemen...so sweet!
He showed us the upstairs living quarters, which were split up into three different areas. One area was a substantial fitness center, the middle part was the sleeping area, and the other area was a modest theater room with a big screen television and several plush chairs.
The Station is undergoing a fundraising campaign to restore it to very much the way it looked in the 1920s. To donate to that cause, visit http://www.vhfirecompany.com.
We had a grand time enjoying firehouse number 19, as kids and grownups.
wanderlust Atlanta would like to extend a sincere "thank you" and heartfelt gratitude to all Atlanta firefighters for putting themselves in harm's way to protect our fine citizens.
I'm charmed by this place every day, particularly because it's "in" the community.

Lois Campbell (Canada)
In March 2005, Lois Campbell of British Columbia, a Type practitioner and leader, and a dear friend to many in the APT community, passed away at the age of 66. Her colleagues and friends remembered her exceptional life and career at the 2005 APT International Conference in Portland. Hopefully, the few memories here will bring Lois closer to those of us who could not pay tribute to her then.
Sidney Craig Courtice, a friend of many years, recalled the essence of Lois*: "Lois was truly one of those special people we meet along the way; someone who touches your heart profoundly and whose gentle wise words become ingrained in how you do what you do."
Shirley Winlaw-Tierney, remembered Lois from the Sixteen Types Workshop in Vancouver led by Jean Kummerow*: "As Lois and I were both ENFJ we were in the same small group with one other woman. Lois was fabulous. She was full of energy and fun and inclusive of ideas from me and the other participants. When we presented on our type we batted balloons around the room and passed out jelly beans. I am pretty sure that both those ideas came from Lois. Jean Kummerow still talks about that ENFJ group!"
Danielle Poirier recalled her first meeting with Lois 30 years ago when she worked at Naramata Centre, a United Church Leadership training centre*: "Lois stood out because of her passion and her caring devotion to others. She was a no-nonsense compassionate woman, one who would listen and counsel but not hold back on what she thought. I remember Lois as always being there although I never had to ask. She was one step ahead of me, knowing what I needed before I could put a finger on it. She was there as a friend, neighbour, and counsellor. More often than not she would show up in her usual straightforward and unobtrusive self – very gentle and kind – but oh, so no-nonsense. Let me put it this way: her denial detector was well honed. There was little room for self-pity as well. Pull up those boot straps and change what you can! Make the best of whatever you have been handed out in life – just the kind of role model one would want around 12 questing teenagers. Lois was the kind of person that would listen to any story without condemnation or judgment; she understood. She had a way of sneaking morality back into the conversation without being moral about it; no one was going to 'get away with it'."
Later, Debbie Clelland, Lois' daughter and, for many years, the leader of the British Columbia APT Chapter, shared her living memories of her mom: "My mom was a very special and amazing woman. She raised 3 daughters in that firm but caring way she had. She used to laugh at the idea that people thought of her as a "sergeant" because she saw herself as a marshmallow. In 1984, when we daughters were teenagers, she really dove into type, and it became a cornerstone in our whole family's life. We talked type almost every day, and one of her favourite stories was when my husband met my sister's boyfriend, he explained that he would be taking the MBTI. At first mom was surprised by this comment, but then realized all the important people who came into our lives were given the MBTI! When I proudly followed in my mom's footsteps and went to graduate school to be trained as a counsellor, mom decided I would make a great business partner to do consulting with. The two of us took the gift of "gifts differing" out to many businesses in the BC Lower Mainland, and across Western Canada. I saw mom as a champion of women, and of F's. Even though I know it was very hard for her to enter into conflict, she put those T's who were unappreciative of the other deciding preference in their place! And they were mostly grateful. Mom and I also began doing Mother-Daughter seminars together, and brought this to the larger type community at APT XIII in Phoenix. We were nervous about having famous published people attend our seminar. But yet again, as mom always said, APT is about people understanding people, and not competing with one another or keeping best practices secret. Our Mother-Daughter work was welcomed, and we felt happy to be able to bring this unique contribution. I also naturally became part of our local chapter, eventually leading it while mom supported APT Canada. Our chapter became an extension of our type family, and it felt just like that at mom's memorial service – all there together remembering her. Our chapter often had meetings at mom's house, and we would be welcomed to swim in the pool, share "widgets" with one another, and browse of all the books and resources in her "MBTI room." I truly miss her, and I feel very lucky that the "mom voice" in my head is so understanding and wise, and that I am able to carry her with me."
Lois Campbell was a genuine pioneer of Type in the West. Introduced to the MBTI in her M.A./A.B.S. program at LIOS-Whitworth College in 1976, she promoted the value and benefits of Type, and stood up for its ethical use throughout the rest of her career. She started her private counselling practice in 1979, and being an ENFJ, became the Mom of the British Columbia APT Chapter in the 1980s. She nurtured the Chapter from a grassroots circle to a thriving group of Type professionals. She established lasting relationships between the Chapter and Psychometrics Canada. Later on, Lois acted as the APT Canada Secretary/Treasurer. Outside of APT, Lois was active in many professional and community organizations: the BC Association of Clinical Counsellors, the former Association for Creative Change and the BC Transactional Analysis Association, and in her community in Tsawawassen, BC. In her devoted service to her profession, colleagues and friends, Lois was an inspiring leader and friend. She will remain cherished and loved in the hearts of those whose lives she touched.

With the rising cost of health care in the US, a number of Americans are following the lead of some Mexican nationals living in the US who for decades have crossed the border for lower cost medical services. This tendency to seek lower cost medical procedures like plastic surgery, gastric bypass, dental work, knee replacement as well alternative medicine, overseas in countries such as India, the Filipines, South America, China, Iran and Mexico, to name a few places, has come to create what is now called Medical Tourism. Medical Tourism in Baja although common, has turned itself more to a relocation option amongst senior citizens or people looking to upgrade their lifestyle by lowering their cost of living, thus, spending far less money without sacrificing quality in medical services.
Mexico City, Guadalajara and Monterrey have long been known as places to go for medical procedures here in Mexico, but as the medical tourism increases, they are no longer the only places you can find excellent medical care in state of the art medical facilities. The number of private and state hospitals as well as clinics with up to date technology has increased significantly in Mexico in the last few years, all of this in order to provide affordable medical care for people who cannot afford it in their country.
Millions of Americans are visiting Mexico for medical care and Baja is no exception, around half of the people who travel to Baja for medical care come from the U.S. and only in the city of Tijuana it accounts for 350,00 monthly visits, especially from California, and with some treatments costing anywhere from 50% to 80% less than what they cost in the U.S. it's no wonder why; because of this, insurance companies started offering HMO type health plans that cover medical care in Baja, such is the case of PacifiCare, Blue Shield of California with their Access Baja Plan and Health Net with Salud con Health Net. Some of the hospitals and clinics in Baja will accept most U.S. insurance (it is always recommended to call ahead and verify the will accept your provider), however, because the medical facilities or practices are established outside of the U.S., some of them will not be able to charge the insurance company directly, unless you contact your provider for written authorization, you will most likely have to cover the cost of the services and request a refund from the insurance provider; if the insurance company is not contacted for authorization you run the risk of not being partially or fully reimbursed. The best thing you can do is contact your insurance provider and ask for information about plans that cover medical care in Baja.
Here are some of the Hospitals that accept U.S. insurance.
Also located in Zona Rio, close to Hospital Angeles, Excel Medical Center is one of the most modern private hospitals in the city; it is also equipped with the most modern technology in the country, staffed with highly regarded physicians and qualified personnel. Although the heart is their primary focus they also provide treatment in many areas such as general surgery, dermatology, ophthalmology, urology, endocrinology, orthopedics and many others, a complete list is available for you to see in www.hospitalexcel.com or call toll free from the U.S. by dialing 1-800-211-0609.
Oasis of Hope is a world class health center with general hospital, cardiovascular center and cancer prevention and treatment center. Since 1963 it has offered care for chronic degenerative diseases such as cancer, and other conditions like diabetes, obesity and cardiovascular conditions. With 40+ years of treating patients from over 55 countries it is probably the most experienced health center in Baja. If you want an integrated approach to healing this is the place to go, where medicine, nutrition, emotions and spirituality are combined to provide a support therapy for body mind and spirit. They are a top level hospital with cutting edge technology such as 3D imaging, digital radiology, 3D color ultrasound and helicoidal tomography necessary for tracking the evolution of tumors. Besides the before mention ailments, they also provide outpatient consults for neurology, gynecology, pediatrics, obstetrics, urology and proctology just to name a few. Their toll free number is 1-888-500-HOPE when dialing from the U.S., for Mexico is 01-800-026-2747, more information is available in their web page www.oasisofhope.com you can also take a virtual tour.
One of the newest and largest hospitals in Rosarito, Hospital Bonanova is also located in downtown Rosarito in Oceana Plaza, a few blocks north of Hotel Festival Plaza and Rosarito Beach Hotel, their services are primarily in the fields of plastic, reconstructive and bariatric surgery, like gastric bypass, as well as dental care such as root canal, crowns, dentures, bonding, whitening among other services. For any questions regarding services and other medical specialties you can call their local number (661) 612-5157.
A medical facility built next to the ocean that feels more like a spa than a hospital, it also focuses on the treatment of mind body and soul. Treating arthritis, cancer, chronic fatigue syndrome, diabetes, lyme disease, multiple sclerosis, fibromyalgia as well as providing dental treatments among others; Sanovir brings together internationally trained physicians in the fields of psychology, nutrition and fitness with state of the art technology in order to provide you with the best diagnostic and treatment programs for your individual needs. For a virtual tour of their installations as well as more information on Sanovir Medical Institute you can go to www.sanoviv.com or call their toll free numbers U.S. 800-726-6848, Mexico 1-800-725-83-10.
Recently build, this hospital is equipped with the most modern technology in an effort to provide the best tools for the treatment and diagnosis; with an intensive therapy unit, oncology areas, blood bank, neurosurgery, cardiovascular unit and respiratory therapy among others. Treating ailments in the fields of allergies, pediatrics, dermatology, oncology, odontology and many more; Hospital Velmar is located in Arenas No. 151, Fracc. Playa Ensenada; close to the naval base. You can visit their web page at www.hospitalvelmar.com or give them a call at their local number (646) 173-4500.
The city of Ensenada is not only known for its fishing and carnival, it is also home to the larges scientific community in Latin America, with ongoing research in various fields, it's the home of some of the technologies that are and will be used world wide. One such research, in the field of oncology, specifically for the treatment of breast cancer, is the discovery of the effect of a toxin from a sea snail found in the Baja region. According to a recent report, the molecule which has an effect on the tumor has been identified and isolated, it has been tested in cellular cultures with promising results, test on infected mice are said to be starting soon.
The Economic Development Council of Tijuana (CDT) in 2007, created a program to promote medical tourism in the city by making the border crossing more accessible for patients; this program is called Cruce de Servicios Médicos or Medical Service Lane. This means that Tijuana doctors, hospitals and clinics who have registered in the program can provide their patients with a pass to be presented in the new medical service lane to the officer, along with personal identification when returning to the U.S. reducing the wait at the border to around 30 minutes or less. This program however, is not meant to be used as a handicap lane. It also provides quick access for medical emergency services going to San Diego.
Rosarito Beach has long been a primary choice for retirees and families looking for a permanent home in the Baja region. In trying to make available quality health care services at affordable prices for people relocating to Rosarito, medical groups such as Hospital el Rosario de Santa Lucia and Baja Medix, have developed membership programs that provide significant discounts for medical services, doctors visits for around 10 dlls, surgical services at 20% from the normal fee, x-ray and lab services at no cost and home doctor visits for a low cost are a some of what these memberships offer for an annual or quarterly fee. What is important to point out is that the medical memberships are not insurance, and do not cover some mayor surgical procedures, medications, alternative medicine and dental services. If you would like more information you can reach Baja Medix at (661) 612-1266 or (661) 612-5850; for Hospital Rosario de Santa Lucia, the contact information is listed above.
Serena Senior Care and INCARE offer assisted living services to seniors, mostly American retirees who decided to relocate to the Baja cost. INCARE is focuses mostly on in home care, recovery and assistance, while Serena Senior Care also has medical care with doctor's visits, nursing assistance and their medical network, property care housekeeping, repair and remodeling as well as property management. Serena Senior Care recently launched its membership card with which you can get discounts on their medical and property care services on top of preferential access and discounts with their affiliate network.

This Week's Message


As the superintendent of the Pembroke Pines Charter Schools, I am proud of the first class educational programs and the rigorous academic curriculum we offer to our students.
Since 1998, the Pembroke Pines Charter Schools have set the bar for excellence in our community, in our state, and in our nation. With four elementary schools, three middle schools, and one high school, the Pembroke Pines Charter System serves nearly 6,000 students and their families. From elementary to high school, our schools have received an 'A' rating from the state for over a decade. As the largest municipally-run charter system in the State of Florida, our success is measured by more than test scores and college admissions; it is measured by the quality and class of the students attending and graduating from our school.
Our outstanding teachers have expectations not only for our students' performance but for their personal and academic integrity as well. As a result, our students experience academic success, exhibit responsible citizenship, and understand the importance of good character.
Empowering Students for the Possibilities of Tomorrow!

When Your Heart Stops Beating
AllMusic Review by Corey Apar
Of the two groups that appeared from the ashes of blink-182's 2005 implosion -- the Tom DeLonge-headed Angels and Airwaves and Mark Hoppus/Travis Barker-helmed +44 -- it's refreshing to see that at least one of them (i.e., the latter) realized that moving on from the past didn't necessarily mean turning your back on it. On their debut, When Your Heart Stops Beating, +44 has managed to balance out upbeat rockers and somber introspections to create a record that is thoughtful and composed, yet fun, and almost like the album blink could have made had they stuck together. This is alternative rock derived from guys with pop-punk pasts, but it's much more reserved than expected, meaty hooks and cheeky exuberance not oozing out of every corner. Its sober and meditative qualities aren't completely surprising -- after all, the blink breakup didn't leave ex-members unscathed -- but +44's infectious and stomping first single, "When Your Heart Stops Beating," is a bit misleading since nothing here is quite as immediate as that song. Toned down doesn't mean tedious, however, and the album gets better with each listen. +44's initial focus was on electronics, and though that ultimately took a backseat to guitar-driven rock, it's still present as an undercurrent throughout. This coupled with the clean and tight playing of guitarists Craig Fairbaugh and Shane Gallagher, whose contributions are key to the band's effectiveness, gives +44 a distinct sound away from both blink-182's punk recklessness and Angels and Airwaves' forced grandeur. Bitterness creeps into many songs -- this is definitely a post-band-breakup album -- and tracks like "No, It Isn't" are blatant stabs at Hoppus and Barker's now-strained relationship with DeLonge ("Please understand, this isn't just goodbye, this is I can't stand you"). But not every song is overtly focused on that drama, evidenced in cuts like the summery "Cliffdiving" and the especially lovely electro-piano-based "Make You Smile," which features Carol Heller (briefly a member of +44 in its initial phase). Somber tracks like "Weatherman" and "Little Death" are some of the moodiest songs Hoppus has ever sung, but nothing here feels forced, so it's easy to forgive him when things don't always hit the mark. Plus, he does a much more convincing job fronting a new project than DeLonge; his vocals meld nicely with the sonic structure of +44 to allow the band its own identity instead of just conjuring images of skateboards and Hurley shirts at every turn. Even with its flaws, When Your Heart Stops Beating possesses a surprising vulnerability, which gives the album an understated strength and makes it such an enjoyable listen. This is light-years away from the pretension of Angels and Airwaves, and an unexpected treat from a band that really sounds like it has a future together.

Project underway. We are >80% of the way there.
Local Radio Presenters Nigel Pearce (and Rock the Lobster Open-Mic/Live Music committee member, Sheringham, Norfolk) and Alan Thompson have just completed the first programme of a two part series of unreleased music from the greatest of all bands, The Beatles.
Titled Unreleased and Alternate, the programme contains many gems from the early part of The Beatles career, commencing with their version of How Do You Do It, right through to Yellow Submarine.
This project has required some length in organisation, but the end result has made it totally worthwhile said Nigel. Tracks such as Bad To Me, (A hit for Billy J Kramer, but never heard by The Beatles) were aired along with alternate versions of And I Love Her, No Reply, and Eleanor Rigby.
Alan Thompson also added that the Stereo versions never heard before of Long Tall Sally, Thank You Girl and You Know What To Do (a demo from With The Beatles period), are priceless unheard gems that truly do deserve to be released as the finished quality is superb!
Add to that the other tracks, it makes for a stunning new album the world would surely like to see, they both confirmed, noting that a project and broadcast such as this has not been aired since 1969 when Radio 1 broadcast Scene and Heard in October of that year reviewing the then up and coming Beatles album Get Back, which in 1970 became their last studio release Let It Be.
The programme will be broadcast shortly on Future Radio 107.8FM and part two is being recorded next week at Future Studios in Norwich.
Fan Clamour in The Beatles is still worldwide and huge they both continued, and interest has already started to reach much further afield than Norfolk.
Yes, Norfolk has under its belt another slice of history that is absolutely priceless!!
Just Sheringham – January 2015. We were so excited about the sponsorship deal and we made a couple of mistakes in the article! Our new sponsor is Newbarn Ltd (a company associated with the Blue Pits Housing Action charity) and they are based in Rochdale. Our apologies. The money will enable us to continue staging live music (and other performances) open mic and concert events in Sheringham and the surrounding areas. It will also fund some exciting Rock the Lobster projects.

Brunnthal/Munich, March 25, 2019 - SFC Energy AG (ISIN: DE0007568578), a leading international supplier of stationary and mobile hybrid power generation plants based on fuel cells, is publishing its annual report, its audited Group figures for 2018 and information on the outlook today.
The Group generated the highest sales in the company's history in the year under review - EUR 61.70 million after EUR 54.29 million in the prior year. This corresponds to an increase of 13.7%. The positive performance was largely thanks to the robust growth in the Oil & Gas, Industry and Defense & Security core markets.
Segment in EUR million 2018 2017
Oil & Gas 26.03 24.46
Industry 16.31 15.21
Defense & Security 10.01 4.83
Clean Energy & Mobility 9.35 9.80
Total 61.70 54.29
Performance by segment
SFC Energy's Oil & Gas segment, currently SFC Energy's largest segment, benefited in the year under review from increasing investment activity in the oil and gas industry and from new business as a result of the recovery in oil prices. Particularly strong growth of around 60% was achieved in high-margin business with EFOY applications. The regional expansion of business into the USA, which began in 2018, is beginning to bear fruit with cooperation agreements and pilot orders. This initiative will remain a central element of the growth strategy in 2019. While order intake from the end of October to the end of November 2018 was temporarily weak due to a short-term decline in oil prices, orders from existing and new customers picked up again during December and led to the best fourth quarter in this segment. Sales increased by 6.4% from EUR 24.46 million in the prior year to EUR 26.03 million in 2018, currency-adjusted even by 11%.
In 2018, the Industry segment recorded growth of 7.3% from EUR 15.21 million in the prior year to EUR 16.31 million. This increase was chiefly due to stronger demand from both new and existing customers. In the year under review, the further relocation of production capacity to the plant in Cluj, Romania was completed at the end of the third quarter of 2018. The focus is on improving margins on both the purchasing and sales side while at the same time scaling sales based on the High Power Standard Platform technology.
The Defense & Security segment, traditionally a year-end business, doubled its sales from EUR 4.83 million in the prior year to EUR 10.01 million in 2018. Above all new national programs and several follow-up orders contributed to the dynamic development, as did new international orders. The drivers are the changing geopolitical situation as well as the digitization of the battlefield and the need for weight reduction in the equipment of vehicles and soldiers in the field. The increasing number of technical devices requires reliable and flexible power supply solutions. We were the first company in the world to establish the fuel cell as an efficient and durable energy source in these markets. In particular, the portable SFC fuel cell JENNY for field missions and the compact EMILY 3000 for stationary, mobile and vehicle-based applications, e.g. in surveillance and communications technology, are in demand by a steadily increasing number of units.
Clean Energy & Mobility
As expected, the Clean Energy & Mobility segment's sales of EUR 9.35 million in the year under review were 4.6% down on the prior year's level of EUR 9.80 million. This was attributable to a major order from Singapore in the first quarter of 2017. However, the backlog steadily decreased during the calendar year. Not including sales from Singapore, the Industrial Applications sub-segment recorded an increase of 15%, especially for civil security applications and in the wind industry. The partnership in China with Beijing Green Century Technologies generated the first pilot orders from China. The company is an established market leader in the field of power and other electronic component solutions for the wind and solar industries as well as for electromobility, the rail sector and telecommunications. SFC Energy's international expansion strategy in this area will be supported by Beijing Green Century Technologies' extensive distribution network and good networking within the industry.
Earnings performance
Gross profit rose significantly to EUR 21.08 million (34.2%) in the 2018 financial year (prior year: EUR 17.73 million, 32.6%). The improvement in the gross margin is mainly attributable to the Oil & Gas segment. Here, an increase to 28.2% was achieved. The margin contribution in the "Defense & Security" segment improved by EUR 2.56 million. Overall, gross profit saw an increase of EUR 3.35 million year-on-year.
Gross profit by segment
Oil & Gas 7.33 5.83
Industry 5.01 5.13
Defense & Security 5.09 2.53
EBITDA for the Group improved significantly from EUR 0.86 million in the prior year to EUR 2.48 million in the reporting period. The EBITDA margin in relation to sales increased from 1.6% to 4.0%. EBITDA adjusted for non-recurring effects rose sharply to EUR 3.71 million (prior year: EUR1.45 million). EBIT for the Group improved significantly in the 2018 financial year from minus EUR 0.89 million in the prior year to plus EUR 1.33 million. Taking non-recurring effects into account, adjusted EBIT in the year under review amounted to EUR 2.55 million (prior year: EUR 0.18 million). Consolidated net income improved in the 2018 financial year to minus EUR 0.00 million from minus EUR 2.07 million in the previous year. Earnings per share in accordance with IFRS (undiluted and diluted) improved accordingly to minus EUR0.00 (prior year: minus EUR 0.23).
Statement of financial position
Available cash and cash equivalents climbed to EUR 7.52 million as of December 31, 2018 (December 31, 2017: EUR4.41 million). This resulted mainly from positive cash flow from operating activities of EUR 2.01 million and cash inflow from financing activities of EUR 3.48 million. In the year under review, the company received cash from the proceeds of a capital increase of EUR 4.22 million. In the year under review, the equity ratio increased due to the financing measures to 43.3% (prior year: 40.2%). As of December 31, 2018, SFC Energy had 279 permanent employees (December 31, 2017: 258).
"In 2018 as a whole, we achieved a new record level of sales and have moved into the profit zone on a sustained basis. We are the world's first profitable fuel cell manufacturer and in the past fiscal year we succeeded in reaching important milestones on our growth path and are now also penetrating the vital hydrogen technology market. The momentum of the past year continues unabated at the beginning of the current financial year. We are paying particular attention to the area of hydrogen-powered products and to regional expansion with a focus on the important markets of the USA, India and China. Against this background, we are feeling very positive about the current financial year. With technology and quality leadership as well as a focused hybrid product strategy, we have created added value for our customers in recent years with EFOY fuel cell system solutions under difficult environmental conditions.
We are convinced that, with the increasing interest of many customers in all our core markets, we will continue to be able to grow profitably and sustainably in the 2019 financial year and participate disproportionately in the positive market environment," says Dr. Peter Podesser, CEO of SFC Energy AG.
Based on a solid order backlog of EUR 14.19 million as of the end of 2018 and a successful start to the current 2019 financial year, the Management Board of SFC Energy AG expects that consolidated sales will range from EUR 67 million to EUR 74 million for 2019 as a whole. In addition, a further significant increase in profitability with EBITDA underlying of EUR 4.5 million to EUR 7 million and an EBIT underlying of EUR3.5 million to EUR 6 million is planned for 2019.
When calculating sales revenue and Simark's earnings, the Management Board assumes an exchange rate of 1.50 between the Canadian Dollar and the euro.
Medium-term outlook
"Driven by decisive changes in the social and political environment, we are experiencing a true "renaissance" of the fuel cell," says Dr. Peter Podesser. Major macro trends, such as the reduction of CO2 emissions, decentralization of energy supply combined with advancing digitalization, are favouring and boosting the demand for fuel cells. This clean and efficient way of generating electrical energy is again perceived and taken seriously as a valid alternative to conventional energy generation technologies. In large parts of the world, drastic decarbonization is recognized as a major priority by society and politics and is being translated into more and more concrete legal and regulatory measures.
The change in the geopolitical environment and the resulting increase in the need for security at national, international and individual level has led to considerable increases in state and civil expenditure in the area of security and defense in recent years. Decentralized and sustainable energy supply enables the reliable use of the latest civil and military security technology as well as the rapid digitalization of processes in these areas. Here, too, the fuel cell is a lightweight, reliable and emission-free alternative. SFC established itself as a technology supplier to leading defense organizations and the civilian security market at a very early stage and is now benefiting from this pioneering work.
"As a market and technology leader, we believe we are very well positioned to benefit disproportionately from the acceptance of fuel cells in the medium and long term and to play a leading role in the further dissemination and introduction of this clean and efficient energy generation technology in mass markets worldwide," adds Dr. Peter Podesser. In the medium-term, the Management Board is targeting consolidated sales to exceed the EUR 100 million mark by 2022 and the EBITDA underlying margin to significantly exceed the 10% level (forecast data without audit by the auditor).
Review process of strategic options
Against the background of these results in 2018, the marked rise in market and investor interest in SFC Energy AG and in order to make optimum use of the substantial market and growth potential throughout the world, the Management Board, in consultation with the core shareholders and with the approval of the Supervisory Board, have initiated a process to examine and prepare possible strategic options for the Company's future development and growth. The management's objectives are a consistent regional expansion of business activities with a particular focus on the USA and China, as well as the rapid development of the hydrogen fuel cell business. Add-on acquisitions will also be evaluated. Strategic options explicitly include exploring the markets to attract new, medium-term strategically oriented investors and capital measures. The options can range from the integration of long-term strategic investors to a possible capital increase by issuing new shares on the capital markets. For the latter option, SFC Energy has mandated ABN AMRO Bank N.V. and COMMERZBANK Aktiengesellschaft.

Connecting the Fayetteville, Arkansas community through mobile is one of the goals of the newly launched Fayetteville AR Connect app. A collaborative community mobile project, the app is now available for download on iOS and Android devices. The Fayetteville Chamber of Commerce partnered with zCivic, our Bar-Z Mobile Development division focused on creating mobile solutions for civic organizations, to develop the app.
"Connecting" has been a central theme throughout the project. The Fayetteville Chamber of Commerce is looking to connect app users with the local business community to support economic development. The app features a wealth of local business information encompassing professional services, shopping, dining, lodging, attractions, real estate, auto care, health services and more. The app content is broad-ranging in order to appeal to both residents and visitors.
"Our tagline is 'One Fayetteville, One App' and 'Fayetteville in the palm of your hand'" said Chung Tan, Chief Economic Development Officer with the Fayetteville Chamber of Commerce.
Fayetteville AR Connect is providing local businesses with advertising and promotional opportunities to connect with consumers that in turn strengthen the local economy.
The app will help generate revenues for our existing businesses especially in the hospitality and retail sectors. Additionally, it will attract businesses and skilled talent to our city.
Local businesses are already supporting the app. "Our bank sees this new app as an opportunity to connect with a myriad of users, both those new to our city and those who want to learn more about resources in Fayetteville. We are thrilled to be a part of its initial launch," said David Russell, President of First Security Bank in Fayetteville.
Social media integration allows app users to connect with local businesses over the long term. Users can "Like" or "Follow" businesses on Facebook and Twitter or share information from the app on their own social media accounts.
A community events calendar, news feed and information about local schools connect users with the broader community, not just businesses. Non-profits, charities, houses of worship and foundations are included to allow users to connect with something larger than themselves and offer ways for community members to get involved to help improve their communities.
A companion responsive website is also in development to connect an even broader audience to the Fayetteville AR Connect app content. zCivic is working with additional organizations and businesses throughout the community that want to be a part of the app to reach a broader audience.
"We are excited to partner with organizations throughout the Fayetteville community to offer this mobile resource for locals and visitors alike. Fayetteville offers a ton of things for people to enjoy from its unique historical and commercial districts, to its thriving arts scene. It's a wonderful community and I think its unique appeal will really be on display in this app," said Lee Little, CEO and Founder, Bar-Z Mobile Development.

Set in New York City (NYC) during the height of the AIDS Crisis, Marching in Gucci: Memoirs of a Well-Dressed Black AIDS Activist is a multimedia solo performance that explores the paradoxical and precarious relationship between fighting AIDS while simultaneously engaging in self-harming behaviors.
I moved to NYC in the fall of 1992. The next three years would be the most deadly period of the AIDS epidemics. AIDS became the leading cause of death among persons 25 to 44 years old and eighth overall in the nation. In my second year, AIDS took the lives of 40,000 U.S. residents that accounted for 23% of all U.S. deaths among men and 32% of all deaths among African American men. During year three, AIDS deaths reached an all-time high of 50,000. Only 8,000 deaths less than the number of American casualties lost during the 20-year Vietnam War. A disproportionate number of those who died were Black and artists. The fact that I am still alive has never been lost on me.
Chad Goller-Sojourner is a Seattle-based writer, solo-performer, and recipient of the distinguished Washington State Arts Commission Performing Arts Fellowship. His work has been funded by the National Endowment for the Arts and featured on National Public Radio (NPR). In 2013, he debuted his sophomore solo show Riding in Cars with Black People & Other Newly Dangerous Acts: A Memoir in Vanishing Whiteness. This production showcases the groundbreaking and crushingly honest story of what happens when a black boy, raised by white parents, ages out of honorary white and suburban privilege and into a world where folklore, statistics, and conjecture deem him dangerous until proven otherwise. Goller-Sojourner's inaugural solo show Sitting in Circles with Rich White Girls: Memoirs of a Bulimic Black Boy debuted July 2008 and chronicles the performer's life-long affair with the scale and 10-plus year liaison with an eating disorder.


The Hockley Valley Resort, one of Ontario's most notable ski, golf, and event destinations, has been sold.
That could not be confirmed when a spokesperson at the resort would not comment on an impending sale, stating only that there would be 'an announcement' within a few weeks.
That announcement came in the form of a statement and press release issued on the Resort's Facebook page on March 27.
The Sunray Group, a privately owned company, describes itself as 'one of Canada's fastest growing hospitality and development companies', owning 42 hotels across Ontario, Quebec and Newfoundland.
