The USA is one of our favourite holiday destinations with some of the most stunning landscapes on earth and a broad range of activities on offer. From hiking in the Grand Canyon to white water rafting on the Colorado River, there are adventures aplenty for adults and children alike. We specialise in California and the South Western states of the USA; Utah, Nevada & Arizona.
Transport was great, very reassuring to have all that taken care of and all drivers were polite and helpful. Good to know in advance to have some dirham ready for tips.
Treking: Our guide Hassan, muleteer Centim and chef were great. We'd never been guided before and were a little worried about how it would all work out but Hassan went at a pace that worked for us, always made sure we knew where we were going and happy to answer questions but also to give us some space. Food was such a treat! Beautiful locations and we were thoroughly looked after.
Accommodation. Mountain lodge were brilliant. Very cold at night in Imlil so glad to have layers. Staff helpful, food plentiful and delicious. Ouirgane Eco Lodge was a real treat after the mountains. And the riad. Oh my goodness. We loved it! Breakfast on our own terrace, a pool to cool off in. So much space and so beautifully decorated. We couldn't believe it was ours for the period of time and a great respite from the hustle and bustle of the souks.
The balance of the trek and city was great for us, kids saw all kinds of things in both places that really opened their eyes. Weather was very kind to us so it was an extra treat to have the sunshine.
It definitely felt like a real adventure and something that we'll always remember as a family.
We had plenty of info from Tourdust and plenty of prompt replies as my queries popped up.
The speed of response, efficiency of the booking process, flexibility/concern and information provided were all excellent. The meet and assist at the airport, punctuality, safety, general knowledge, liaison with customer and the vehicle used was excellent and the knowledge of routes and property locations was very good. Our guide was excellent with interesting knowledge and very good English, we could not have expected any more.
Jetwing Beach - The room was poor and the food Satisfactory. In general the accommodation was good, the service and location were very good and accuracy of profile excellent.
We needed to change rooms due to cockroaches in the bathroom. The staff and management were very helpful but the second room offered also had cockroaches!
Kandy House - The room, food and location were good. In general the accommodation was very good, the service and accuracy of profile was excellent.
Camilla Hills - The room was poor, the food was good. In general the accommodation was excellent with excellent service, location and accuracy of profile.
We were allocated the worst room and had no view. It was very disappointing and ruined our stay. The management we excellent but could not move us to a room with a view.
Cinnamon Wild - The food and service was good. In general the accommodation was very good with very good room and excellent location and accuracy of profile.
The Safari Drives were excellent.
Fort Bazaar - In general the accommodation was very good with very good food and excellent room, service, location and accuracy of profile.
Due to the lack of alcohol served meant we needed to eat outside of the hotel. The lack of a pool needs addressing, otherwise a lovely atmosphere and service.
Interesting and informative visit to Milennium Elephant Foundation.
Visit to Royal Botanical Gardens was a highlight of the tour with an excellent guide.
We were lucky to watch the service at the Temple of the Tooth and advise others to make sure they can do the the same 09:15 or 17:15.
Train journey - we were on the wrong side of the train so the view was limited. Fun journey though. Best part of scenery is after Hatton Station.
Drives on safari were excellent and well organised.
We did not have the tour of the fort as the guide could not accommodate our required timing.
Visit to the Tea Plantations was fascinating but brief.
To put it simply I have never had so much fun in my life. For the first two days I enjoyed a break from the otherwise high tempo country of America. We saw animals that none of us had seen before, swam in waters in which all of us had a ball and lay in the perfect heat of the Utah sun. This incredible experience of food and rest was then followed by the grand finale of white water rafting! The anxiety and nervousness soon turned into a thrill so extraordinary that I have sworn to myself that I will feel that incredible thrill again. Looking back, it was probably the most perfect three days that I can remember. So I mean this genuinely when I say, you must go on this holiday!
It was so much fun. We saw coyotes, bears, river otter and more. The people were so nice and the food was amazing . The first two days were calm, but then on the last day we hit the rapids! That was the most fun. We bounced up and down, up and down and got completely soaked. It was a moment I will never forget.
The scenery was absolutely fantastic, and the water was calm and slightly warm. This was to begin with but after that we got into fantastic rapids. I was scared to begin with but the sparkling feeling in my head and the butterflies in my tummy gave me a great sense of achievement when I had done it!
There were five of us and we had two boats and two brilliant instructors for three of the most incredible days. Calm waters as we either sat in the boats which carried all our food and equipment or we gently floated with our feet out in front of us as we past the million year old rocks of changing earthy colours. The tempo changes: the water becomes white, we all put helmets on and then the rapids begin and our stomachs reach the sky, it really was seriously scary, I looked around at my family and they were all having a ball. Time disappeared fast and we all felt so pleased with ourselves as we had completed the last rapid. I felt rather proud! We were fed like Kings and we all played our parts in making the three days incredible ones we will never forget. Tracking the stars, searching for scorpions and spotting bears all added to the whole experience.
It was great. And you were incredibly patient with my endless badgering and questions - for which many thanks.
The rafting in particular was fantastic. The guides actually forgot our tents - which was quite funny - Kit clearly felt a thin nylon tent was protection against mountain lions, but once we established that the tent made no difference - he was fine. The food rafting was delicious - although I have to say spectacularly wasteful. 35 pancakes for 6 people for breakfast??? With bacon, fruit, eggs etc etc as well? The children were appalled at how much was thrown away - but I guess that is a the company's thing..
The only thing it would have been good to have been tipped off in the notes about was how much nicer the food is in Yosemite village - rather than the dreary depressing hotel canteen. Maybe other guests would try the dining room - but there was such a long wait for a table - we didn't bother. The buses are very good - and the food options are much better in the village - which we didn't realise until the second night - the guide told us actually. I would definitely put that in the notes for other guests - we didn't try the formal dining room - so maybe that is good - but bypass the canteen.
We loved the arches park - having never heard of it - it was mind blowing. And the wonderful platinum hotel in Las Vegas was fabulous. Great location, gorgeous rooms, esp after the motel style dark rooms in Moab and Gouldings.
I had been toying with the idea of sitting in a launderette in Monument Valley - but figured the Navajo prices would be astronomical. Imagine my delight to find I had not one but TWO washing machines and dryers - complete with washing powder - in the hotel/apartments in Las Vegas. Perfect. We left LV with completely clean clothes, ready for the rest of the holiday. A small but very delightful point!
It was all great. Thank you so much for your efforts, and patience, you definitely gave us a holiday perfectly tailored to US - fitting the older children in really well, and pacing everything so perfectly. I will be in touch again!!
Some highlights: I really enjoyed the rodeo - I had expected it to be touristy & tacky, but I actually thought it was great. Boulder - although we didn't do too much there, the drive up was amazing & we really liked the lodge & the peacefulness (apart from a huge storm!). The Burr Trail Grill next door was excellent - really lovely & friendly staff & the best apple pie ever. We went to Willis Creek, 12 miles south of Escalante - this was a slot canyon that you can walk through easily & choose to do as much or as little as you like (the slots are 100metres long, so it's easy to walk out or turn back when you've had enough). Particular highlight for everyone was the Fiery Furnace Walk - Mike was absolutely fantastic with Rory & Lucy. It was perfect for Rory as he loves rock scrambling, so Mike encouraged that. Lucy was very nervous, but he helped her overcome her fears. & he was a very interesting person to spend some time with - I think we finished near to midday! We really liked Red Cliffs in Moab & I liked Moab itself - nice to get some fresh fruit & veg after too many burgers!
Some things we'd probably change: I know I said I didn't want to go to Vegas, but I didn't ask the children & I think they might have liked it! It would probably have saved the longer flight & connections from Seattle & it looks as if the drive from Vegas is similar in distance as from SLC.
I think Beverley would have liked longer in some places - we're used to holidays where we stay in one place, so living out of a suitcase was a little different for us.
I'm also in two minds about the rafting. We were not helped by the weather where we had storms & rain all night until around 9am. Lucy got very cold so didn't enjoy it after the first 2 rapids. Rory however, really enjoyed himself. Overall though, it just seemed that it was a 2 day trip that could have been condensed into 1 day. Again, I think if the weather was different, we would have enjoyed chilling out a little more, but as it was & for the price, it was a little disappointing. We met another family while rafting who had booked through you - they were from Hampshire.
Overall, great adventure, good places to stay, amazing scenery, we met some interesting people, saw some amazing storms (hail the size of golf balls! We were told August is their 'monsoon season') & had a great time, so thank you for putting it together for us. Hopefully we'll be back some time for another adventure…I'm still sizing up Toubkal with Rory in a year or two.

Weekend Read: Getting Honest Feedback, The Steve Jobs Way
By Gabe Tartaglia	 Last updated May 20, 2018
I recently came across a fascinating Business Insider article about one of the more important leadership traits possessed by Apple's Steve Jobs. If you're familiar with Jobs' story you know there were times in his career when he wore multiple hats, like running Apple and Pixar at the same time. In those periods being able to get direct and honest feedback from staff members was critical, because he couldn't be hands on with the day-to-day aspects of everything at once.
So how did he do it? The most obvious way was to ask questions. But how many times have you been in a team meeting where the big boss asks "if there are any questions", only to be greeted by crickets since everyone was afraid to speak up and give honest feedback. So Steve Jobs took a different approach. Instead of asking the broad "have any questions" question, which could be answered with a simple no, he called out individual team members and asked specific questions which required elaboration. This could be questions like "Tell me what's not working at Pixar?", or "Tell me what's working at Apple?". Jobs would keep asking questions like this of team members in the room until he got a sense of the issues at hand. Interestingly he made it a point not to ask the senior managers present who would give polished answers that nobody would contradict. Instead he asked front line workers who were closest to the challenges of the day.
After reading this I thought about how many meetings (probably hundreds) when I've asked if there were any questions without getting a response. I'm pretty sure I've brushed off the lack of feedback by saying something cute like "silence is golden". In all honesty silence in an organization isn't golden. Steve jobs new that and found a way through it. Most managers, including myself, could probably apply this lesson for the betterment of the team and entire organization.

DANNY HURLEY 007 ;) 'hydrino' energy…
"A Song Of Fire From Ice"
CIA, cosmology, Environment, GUT-CP, hydrino, Nikola Tesla, physics, Randell Mills, SunCell, technology
ARTICLE – Randell L. Mills – A Living Legend, Greater Than Einstein and Tesla Combined (The Tesla scenario… It will NOT happen again!)
October 14, 2018 Danny Hurley
"History doesn't repeat itself, but it often rhymes" – attributed to Mark Twain, but source unknown
"Well, I'm going to ensure that the track is changed!" – Daniel Hurley
Not many individuals in this line of inquiry compare Randell Mills to Nikola Tesla, but the comparisons are there (which is why I am highly suspicious of CIA involvement, and investments from certain institutions). The story of Dr Randell Mills is unprecedented in history, and for various sociological and philosophical reasons it is still being ignored. Nikola Tesla should have gone down in history as the greatest scientist/inventor of the 20th century. He had unlocked the secrets of 'free energy', his work could have paved the way for a new course for technological human civilisation, and he should be being taught in every school and University on the planet today…. … but 'the powers that be' sanitized him from history. Only now are a small number of people realising the significance of this mans contributions to 20th century science… THIS WILL NOT HAPPEN WITH RANDELL MILLS! Not in the 21st century, the age of the internet, and not as long as I'm alive… I will dedicate my life to ensuring this mans work, his inventions and his contributions to our understanding of the atom, of the Universe, and of reality, WILL become mainstream textbook taught science.
My children will be taught Dr. Randell Mills' Grand Unified Theory Of Classical Physics… … ALL CHILDREN WILL!
Randell L. Mills – A Living Legend, Greater Than Einstein and Tesla Combined
by Michael Suede • July 12, 2016
Being alive at the end of the twentieth century here on planet Insanity has afforded us a few special privileges in the observance of human history. We've seen the birth of the microprocessor, the creation of the internet, and other technological marvels that have vastly improved the quality of the human condition for billions of people.
Unfortunately, even with all of our modern technological advancements, there's still a huge number of people living in extreme poverty. Most of the poverty can be directly linked to a lack of cheap and abundant energy. According to the IEA, "Modern energy services are crucial to human well-being and to a country's economic development; and yet globally 1.2 billion people are without access to electricity and more than 2.7 billion people are without clean cooking facilities. More than 95% of these people are either in sub-Saharan African or developing Asia, and around 80% are in rural areas."
Even in many places with access to power, it's not cheap enough or abundant enough to lift the population above the poverty line. Access to energy is the defining limit on the ability of any given population to pull itself out of poverty by increasing its productive capacity.
All real wealth comes from the ground. Wealth starts as raw materials that are transformed by human intervention into usable goods that improve the quality of the human condition. Extracting and transforming resources from the planet takes a tremendous amount of energy. The cheaper and more abundant the energy resources at our disposal, the cheaper and easier it is to extract and transform resources; which ultimately means cheaper and more abundant goods and services for all of humanity.
For most of human history, the energy to transform resources has come from our own manual labor, the leverage of simple manual tools, and of course – fire. Even today, we live in what could still broadly be categorized as the combustion age. We use combustion to produce the vast majority of energy on the planet, and it's still by far the cheapest means of producing energy yet available to man. We burn coal and oil to power our homes and factories, we burn gasoline to power our cars and planes, we burn crude oil to power our tankers and shipping; it's all a big bloody burning mess.
Numerous wars and insurrections have been fought over the control of energy resources, and all the while, the power grid acts as a control grid that forces massive swaths of people to herd together into compact concrete jungles. The human condition on planet Insanity is so intimately linked with the production of power that we use the same word to describe everything from politics to finance to the performance of an engine – Power.
Imagine what the planet would look like if every person had access to a compact generator that was capable of providing enough energy to power a small factory, while requiring no fuel, producing no pollution, requiring virtually no maintenance for decades, and being portable enough to fit in a small vehicle. It's hard to fathom because the potential for invention and mobility becomes nearly limitless. People could live comfortably in the middle of the ocean or in the middle of the Alaskan wilderness, it wouldn't make a bit of difference. Homes could be flying recreational vehicles that never have to land. Cars could be airplanes and airplanes could be transformed into space vehicles. With such an invention, we could even colonize the inner planets of the solar system.
With such an invention, the power grid becomes obsolete. Humans become untethered to the entire utility grid, water and sewage included. Water could be pulled from the air or desalinated from the oceans. Trash and sewage could be incinerated on demand. Unlimited personal power brings with it virtually limitless potential. Unlimited personal power brings with it virtually limitless freedom.
I'm telling you now that such an invention exists, and in the next year or so, it's going to change the face of humanity forever.
Dr. Randell L. Mills, a Harvard trained medical doctor, who developed this generator and the physical theory behind it, will be remembered throughout the remainder of human history as the single greatest being to ever have lived. A billion trillion years from now, people will still be discussing his theories and his invention. Mills invention is no less transformative than the discovery of fire. It's a far greater achievement than the combustion engine or the telephone.
In one fell swoop, Mills will have overturned the standing theories of physics, dismantled the power grid, put an end to virtually all air pollution, put an end to poverty, put an end to wars over energy resources, opened up the entire planet to human habitation, put a serious dent in the ability of politics to control people, and saved limitless lives in the future due to a lack of power.
To be alive at the same time as Mills is a cosmic treat. The man is a living legend that has yet to be recognized. Like all great transformative scientists before him, academia has viciously attacked him, his theories and his company, on both a personal and professional level. Mills is truly the modern day Galileo. Like Mills, Galileo was viciously attacked by academia for his ideas, even though they are basis for all modern science today, to the point where Galileo spent the last days of his life under house arrest for scientific heresy.
Here's what mainstream science has had to say about Mills and his work. I feel compelled to copy and paste this here for posterity, because once Mills' generator hits the market, these comments are sure to be flushed down the memory hole. Brilliant Light Power (formerly Black Light Power) is the name of Mills' company that's producing the generator and doing the research. The following is taken from Brilliant Light Power's wiki page, which Brilliant Light obviously has no control over (think about that for a minute, a company that's prohibited from editing it's own wiki page highlights just how terrified academics are of Mills and his theories):
Since 1999 Robert L. Park, emeritus professor of physics at the University of Maryland and a notable skeptic, has been particularly critical of BLP. In 2008 Park wrote:
"BlackLight Power (BLP), founded 17 years ago as HydroCatalysis, announced last week that the company had successfully tested a prototype power system that would generate 50 KW of thermal power. BLP anticipates delivery of the new power system in 12 to 18 months. The BLP process,[35]discovered by Randy Mills, is said to coax hydrogen atoms into a "state below the ground state", called the "hydrino." There is no independent scientific confirmation of the hydrino, and BLP has a patent problem. So they have nothing to sell but bull shit. The company is therefore dependent on investors with deep pockets and shallow brains." – Park[36]
In 1999, Steven Chu, Nobel Laureate in Physics in 1997, said "it's extremely unlikely that this is real, and I feel sorry for the funders, the people who are backing this".[7]
In 1999, Princeton University's physics Nobel laureate Phillip Anderson said of it, "If you could fuck around with the hydrogen atom, you could fuck around with the energy process in the sun. You could fuck around with life itself." "Everything we know about everything would be a bunch of nonsense. That's why I'm so sure that it's a fraud."[6]
Wolfgang Ketterle
Wolfgang Ketterle, a professor of physics at MIT, said BLP's claims are "nonsense" and that "there is no state of hydrogen lower than the ground state".[8]
Michio Kaku, a theoretical physicist based at City University of New York, adds that "the only law that this business with Mills is proving is that a fool and his money are easily parted."[6] and that "There's a sucker born every minute."[7]
Peter Zimmerman
While Peter Zimmerman was chief arms-control scientist at the State Department, he stated that his department and the Patent Office "have fought back with success" against "pseudoscientists" and he railed against, among other things, the inventors of "hydrinos."[37]
Forbes attacked him, saying, "This case has many things in common with other failed new energy technologies, including a charismatic leader who generates lots of press, claims of academic validation and criticism of expert skepticism, ample fundraising, and frequent reports of interest from potential buyers. What you don't find are actual ongoing operation of a power plant outside of demonstration models controlled by the promoter."
The IEEE attacked him, calling him a loser. And of course, countless internet trolls have attacked him and his company over all the scientific forums scattered across the internet. People have been banned simply for posting about Mills and his theories on sites like physicsforums.com and the Reddit science boards. You can't even discuss his theories on the major science forums without risking an immediate ban.
Academics typically don't even bother commenting on theories that have no scientific merit, so when you see this level of vitriol over Mills' theories, it stands to reason it's being driven by fear, not by a genuine motivation to seek the truth.
I've stated numerous times on this site over the past decade that modern physics is fundamentally flawed. It is not tied to reality. Mills theory takes physics back to its roots. It does away with all the imaginary particles and nonsense that make up the basis of quantum mechanics. Mills theory is based on closed form classical physics, which treats the electron as singular entity that can be modeled and calculated in precise detail. Mills theory allows for the precise calculation of molecular shapes and bond strengths, and will transform the way material sciences are conducted in the future.
Taking away all the imaginary particles and physics demystifies quantum mechanics. With Mills' theory, theoretical physicists are no longer needed, and their positions as the high priests of science are directly threatened. It's little wonder they hate Mills so much. Eventually the theoretical people will be shunted to the side like most religions have been today. Make no mistake, theoretical physics is a religion, not a science. It's incredibly hard to change people's' religious view points since they aren't based on evidence or logical reasoning.
To put Mills work in perspective, the Tokamak ITER fusion reactor has had 14 billion dollars of public funding thrown at it with no results to show for it. Further, to quote wiki, "the ITER is not designed to produce electricity, but made as a proof of concept reactor for the later DEMO project." So 14 billion just to build a proof-of-concept.
Mills has taken less than 100 million of private investment capital over less time than the ITER to go from theory, to concept, to design, and now on to actual power production, with less than a tenth of the resources. Further, the ITER will obviously be abandoned after Mills generator goes into production, resulting in 14 billion dollars of public money being flushed down the toilet to feed the pocket books of academics and state contractors. The academics and contractors are the real scam artists in this melodrama. Perhaps that's another reason they attack Mills with such ferocity, they are having a bit of Freudian projection going on within themselves.
So let's talk a little bit about the generator itself. In simple terms, it works by reacting a very tiny amount of hydrogen with a silver catalyst and then exposing that reaction to an electrical discharge. When the hydrogen, silver and electrical discharge combine, the hydrogen atoms shrink, releasing a tremendous amount of energy in the process. Using Mills process, a gallon of water has the same energy potential of around 2000 gallons of gasoline. The amount of hydrogen needed is so small that the generator can pull the hydrogen it needs from water in the surrounding air. This enormous release of energy is then used to basically form the filament of a carbon light bulb.
The carbon light bulb glows so brightly from the heat that it reaches the equivalent brightness of over 2000 suns, with the potential to go even higher in the future. The light bulb is surrounded by an array of special solar cells called concentrator solar cells that are able to harness the energy from this enormously bright light source. These special solar cells already exist and are in use in solar farms around the world today.
Mills is projecting his initial generators to produce around 150 kw of power, with the potential for much higher amounts in the future, and the ability to chain multiple units together to provide huge amounts of power. He projects around 600 or so dollars per unit in materials costs to produce the unit, with the unit weighing far less than a conventional gasoline engine at around the same size. He also says production of the units can be scaled up to near infinite capacity, allowing a tremendous number of these units to be produced for next to nothing, using the same format as current LED production uses today.
Mills already has the "light bulb" portion of this generator fully prototyped and working. Obviously that's the hard part since the rest of the parts for the generator already exist from off-the-shelf suppliers. Mills is projecting production units to be ready for delivery by the second half of 2017, with a fully prototyped working generator ready for field testing by the first half of 2017. Once Mills rolls out that first generator, be prepared for a monumental media shit storm to hit the public.
You can read the latest press release from Brilliant Light Power here, and watch the "light bulb" in action below.
I've been following BLP closely for nearly a decade now. I'm convinced Mills is the real deal. Contrary to what Forbes claims, numerous independent labs have verified his claims. He's obtained funding from some of the wealthiest people on the planet, and he's got a highly skilled team of engineers backing him. He doesn't need any more investment capital so he's got no reason to lie. Several university labs and independent investigators have replicated and validated Mills work:
Rowan University's report
Rowan University's report II
UNC Asheville's report
University of Illinois report
It's also worth taking a look at Brilliant Light's board of directors. These people don't strike me as the type of people who are willing to throw their lives away over fraud charges:
H. McIntyre Gardner's profile from Bloomberg:

And let's not forget Mills, who has a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Chemistry, summa cum laude and Phi Beta Kappa from Franklin & Marshall College, and a Doctor of Medicine Degree from Harvard Medical School. He also did graduate engineering coursework at MIT.
At this point, it doesn't matter what anyone may say about him. He's going to market, and he's going to change the world.
If you'd like to learn more about the backstory to Mills incredible scientific achievement, a book on the subject was recently released by one of his former employees.
Pretty crazy update from BLP today.
They refactored the SunCell to use dual liquid silver metal injectors for the electrodes, which solved the problem of the reaction being so strong that it was blowing holes through solid tungsten electrodes in just a few seconds.
What's pretty crazy is they are reporting that they can actually shut the power off to the electrodes and the EM pump; yet the reaction will continue in a self-sustaining manner. You can actually see this take place in the video.
BLP states, "It is predicted that with sufficient silver vapor pressure, the power will persist by a self-sustaining hydrino reaction. Moreover, as designed, when the cell is operated as a silver boiler, the EM pump power may be terminated as well such that the parasitic load is zero except for the power consumed in electrolysis of water to provide the hydrogen fuel. In fact, the power did persist at the same level for long duration after the ignition power was terminated (See sections of the run indicated by the ignition-off video captions)."
Here's a look at the reactor:
Update 11/2/2016:
I just read through the latest BrLP presentation event notes and found their current planned development and production timeline. They are projecting the commercial units to produce 100 kW of power.
BrLP has contracted with Columbia Tech to have them do the prototype and manufacturing workups. CT's Chief Technology Officer is projecting initial field testing of prototype units to take place in 6 months, with pilot commercial units available 6 months after initial field testing completes. Phase 1A design began on November 1st.
Masimo Semiconductor is responsible for creating the commercial photovoltaic converter comprising a denser receiver array of concentrator multijunction photovoltaic cells that will wrap around the black-body light source. Masimo's Head of Business Development is projecting the photovoltaic array to be ready for the prototype field tests on time.
Looking at the slide notes from Masimo, they are projecting 15.5kW output for the first prototype, and 28.5kW for the second prototype.~
Here's Masimo's published timeline:
-Week 1: July 27, 2016…. Masimo Semi currently under TPV Cell contract and drawings
-Week 10: Oct 19, 2016…..Masimo Semi currently under gDRA prototype development contract
-Week 14: Nov 4, 2016…..1-Junction Cells on GaAs & InP complete
-Week 16: Nov 18, 2016….gDRA Prototype 3-D model complete
-Week 24: Jan 13, 2017….gDRA Prototype (1-J) Single TRU complete
-Week 28: Feb 17, 2017…. 2-Junction Cells on GaAs or InP complete (requires contract)
-Week 40: May 7, 2017….gDRA Prototype (2-Junction Cells) complete (requires contract)
So looking at the notes, Jan 13, 2017 is a big day because that's the day the first geodesic Dense Receiver Array will be completed (gDRA). The gDRA is the photovoltaic dome that wraps around the black body light source. Once that's done, we could see a self-sustaining prototype generator produce power for the first time not too long after that. So perhaps a fully working prototype will be wheeled out for a public demo sometime near the end of January or in February.
Brilliant Light Power (BrLP) released video of their October 26th Industry Day, which I just discussed above.
Video 1: Colin Bannon, Chief Technology Officer for British Telecommunications, discusses BT's energy usage and their desire for a clean source of power. [BT is an absolutely massive telecom corporation, with a market cap of around 36 billion. They are about half the size of Time Warner to put them in perspective.]
Video 2: Kert Davies, Executive Director of ClimateInvestigations.org, discusses energy production and global warming (feel free to skip this one.)
Video 3: Dr. Randell Mills gives a complete overview of how the SunCell works and the latest test data.
Video 4: Dr. Peter Jansson of Bucknell University speaks on the independent validation of the SunCell system.
Video 5: John DeCarlo of Columbia Tech discusses how their applied engineering team is working with BrLP on the prototype of the reactor assembly, as well as helping plan for mass production.
Video 6: Brad Siskavich of Masimo Semiconductor discusses their work on the photovoltaic cells that will produce power from the SunCell reactor. This is a pretty interesting lecture that's worth watching. He's projecting they shouldn't have too much trouble obtaining a 100 kWs from the SunCell in the future, while their initial prototypes will produce around 10 to 30 kWs.
Video 7: BrLP's Dominic Jones discusses their long term market strategy.
Brilliant Light put out a new press release yesterday detailing the advisory board that will be working to bring their virtually-free energy generator to commercial launch next year.
CRANBURY, N.J.(BUSINESS WIRE) – The Advisory Board consists of senior industry executives and includes Colin Bannon from BT, Bill Maurer from ABM Industries, Ray Gogel, former President of Current Group and US Grid Co., Matt Key, CEO of Everynet and three additional executives from Telecoms, Finance and Legal professions.
"We searched extensively to identify advisors that can help us answer some of the big questions to support our SunCell® commercial launch next year" said Dr. Randell L. Mills, Founder, President and CEO of Brilliant Light Power, Inc. "This is a team of senior executives from future customers, partners and advisory groups that will help us shape what we offer and how we offer it as we prepare to go to market".
Bill Maurer, SVP from ABM Industries Energy division said "it's a great opportunity to be part of the team that will launch the technology that will change the way we think about energy in the future"
Matt Key, CEO of Everynet said "Brilliant Light Power has put together a very sophisticated advisory group and they have given us some big questions to consider. The SunCell® technology is an incredible invention and we all look forward to helping the Company in achieving its full potential by transforming the worlds energy markets as we know them"
The Advisory Board will meet monthly and will be advising Brilliant Light Power on its the commercial offerings, launch markets, potential customers and organizational structure the Company will employ to deliver them.
Update 1/2/2017:
CNN Interview
Update 1/13/2017:
BrLP just released a new video today of the SunCell operating above 3000° C in a commercial design. The camera attenuation was up to a factor of 10,560 times to avoid saturation.
Even small increments above 3000° C drastically increase the final power output of the generator because the spectrum shifts more to the right, allowing the TPV cells to harness more of the energy.
Latest press release from BrLP
BrLP has achieved automated control of the molten silver levels of the reservoirs of the dual molten metal injectors of its SunCell®. BrLP has also achieved automated control of the SunCell's® thermal profile. These were the two gating items to a closed commercial SunCell® that can be deployed for field trials of thermal applications followed by electrical unit deployment with further photovoltaic converter development. The video of an excerpt of an electromagnetic pumping test shows the left reservoir overfilled at pumping initiation. The pumping rates automatically adjusted to establish and maintain matching relative levels and caused the molten streams to intersect at the center of the reaction cell chamber. BrLP is optimizing the designs and integrating this technology as it builds the first thermal field trial unit. The photovoltaic cells and cooling technology of the photovoltaic converter have been designed and are in the initial testing phase.
Now that they have automation that allows them to run the cell in a closed system, a prototype generator is very close indeed.
New paper submitted for journal publication: Power Determination and Hydrino Product Characterization of Ultra-low Field Ignition of Hydrated Silver Shots. [PDF]
Mills presented at the Society for Cable & Telecoms Engineers Energy 2020 conference in Denver, CO. on September 12, 2017. The audience consisted of leading Operating Executives from across the Cable industry. Dr. Mills' presentation is available in PDF format here.
An updated production timeline was published in the presentation. Presently, BrLP plans to have units in field testing in the 2nd half of 2018, and a commercial launch in the 2nd half of 2019.

I partnered with American Standard during our bathroom renovation, but we purchased our bathtub before, so all opinions are my own and this is my unbiased review.
Looking for a bathtub for your remodel? The best spaces are those that check off more than one box of needs and wants. In our bathroom renovation, every thing not only had to function well in the space but had to fit the needs and wants of a kid's bathroom, a guest bathroom, and a relaxation spa area for mom when she needs some "me" time. That's a lot of boxes to check off, and our search for the right bathtub to fit all of those needs was extensive.
Prior to the renovation, we had a builder grade acrylic tub that had not been previously cared for well. They had used abrasive cleaners and no amount of elbow grease could get the stains out. That alone was enough to drive me crazy as it was our guest bathroom. It was embarrassing . Additionally, it flexed a lot and did not retain heat well.
When looking for a new alcove replacement tub, I looked for a bathtub that would look beautiful for years to come yet stay within my budget. As I researched, I honestly found that choosing the new bathtub was probably the single hardest decision of our entire bathroom renovation. In reading all the various online reviews, every tub from the most luxurious brand to the cheapest plastic shell had great reviews peppered with a few horror stories (cracking, peeling, etc). It would scare any novice into indecision. So, today I would like to take you through the factors we looked at, and why we chose the American Standard tub.
As stated earlier, our acrylic shell was scratched and pitted so that stains would never come truly clean. Therefore, at the top of our list of needs for this bathtub was how easy it was to clean and the durability of the surface against scratching. Many bathtubs today have a slip resistant bottom and you should check with the manufacturer about how well the bottom surface in particular cleans. Abrasive cleaners should generally be avoided in all tubs, because it can cause pitting and scratching in the surface which will make it easier to stain/harder to clean in the long run.
Bathtub materials vary greatly in weight, with a cast iron tub often coming in at 300lbs or more even before filling with water. This extra load can be a challenge structuarly on bathrooms on second stories or unreinforced floors. Even if the floor could support it well, trying to get it up the stairs would be a problem. On the other end of the specturm is plastic and acrylic and fiberglass tubs which are lightweight and easy to maneuver.
Fiberglass or fiberglass-reinforced plastic are the least durable and prone to scratching and cracking. While a crack can be repaired, resurfacing an entire tub is not very economical.
Acrylic tubs also present similar levels of durability and scratch resistance to a fiberglass tub.
Porcelain Over Steel is a more durable option, depending on the thickness of the porcelain coating. Porcelain enamel can chip but the tub can be repaired in place. It is much more impact and scratch resistant than a fiberglass or acrylic tub. The steel is usually a thin sheet and can flex, so that is something to watch for.
Cast iron with a thick coated enamel – Definitely the most durable of the basic tub materials because cast iron tubs tend to be thick and the most resistant to cracking.
If you have ever stood in a cheap fiberglass tub from the 80s, you know the feeling of flexing. Over time this can weaken a tub. Of course, cast iron tubs are heavier and has less, if any, flexing. However, you can stop the bottom flexing when you get in with a proper mortar setting under the bottom. Check with your installer and the manufacturer about using a mortar setting.
Like it or not, price is always going to be a factor. However, I have found that for the most part, you get what you pay for with bathtubs. Improved materials and proper installation are really the keys to a long lasting bathtub that will pay for itself with longetivity.
After taking in all of our considerations, we chose the American Standard Cambridge Alcove Bathtub. Americast is an exclusive, patented material used in American Standard bathtubs. It is American Standard's unique patented process that fully bonds a high quality porcelain surface with an enameling grade steel and a molded reinforcement composite backing. It is almost like getting all of the benefits of a cast iron tub (heat retention, durability) with the benefits of a lighter weight tub. If interested, you can learn more about the benefits of these bathtubs here.
That pretty much wraps up our bathroom renovation, but I am sure you may have some questions if you ever try to do a full bathroom remodel on your own. Or did I just out your day dreams, haha? Feel free to ask away in the comments below or on our Facebook page!
The durability of the bathtub is the most important thing to look at, by my opinion. Porcelain over steel is my preferred choice too, because these things can last for years, and even if you scratch or chip the porcelain, fixing it is not so complicated. I also love the bathtub divider glass, it's way more classy than using curtains. When we did our bathroom renovation a couple of years ago, the glass barrier was one of the first things I bought. It was even more important than the bathtub itself.


Tell visitors what they want to know.
Specifics are better than bold claims.
Give a peek behind the curtains.
Customers visit your About Us page to peek behind the curtain and see the people running the show.
What types of people are visiting your About Us page? Who are they? Most likely, they're prospective customers considering the purchase of your products or services.
Is this a big company or small?
Is it a public company, private or family-owned business?
What makes your company special?
What are its core values?
Why should I buy from you and not from your competitor?
Your About Us page provides a friendly opportunity to introduce yourself to your site's visitors.
Answering those questions and more is a tall order, but one you should approach with enthusiasm. After all, this is the one place you can and should sing your own praises. This is your opportunity to tell the world why your company is awesome. But you'll need to do it tactfully, and that's the tricky part.
When writing your About Us page, you don't want to say the same things that appear on your Home page, and a long, detailed, historical summary will bore the reader. You also don't want to sound like you're boasting. As in most things, the best answer is to find the middle ground.
Much like a resume you'd use to land a job, your About Us page is the place to toot your own horn. To avoid bragging or appearing pushy steer clear of hype. Instead offer a straightforward presentation of the facts and figures. Avoid superlatives.
For example, explain why people should do business with you. What benefits can you or your product provide that your prospects will value?
If you can, quantify those benefits. Saying your product increases productivity by 18% is a lot more persuasive than simply saying it improves productivity.
Tell them what problem you solve. How do you make their life easier and better? Describe your capabilities and why you're uniquely qualified to offer the service or product you sell.
Use your About Us page to tell your visitors what problem your product or service solves.
State how many years you've been in business and the experience you and your key people bring to the table. Mention some of the milestones in your company's history. Did you move to bigger facilities, acquire another company, or change your focus at any point?
By providing information about your background, you should be able to demonstrate to visitors that you understand what they're seeking, and you're able to offer an excellent solution.
Before the internet came into existence, most business transactions occurred after a face-to-face meeting. The prospective customer would talk with a sales person or business owner to learn about the company and determine if he felt comfortable doing business with them. Of course, that's not the case today.
Think of Your About Us page as the online substitute for an in-person first meeting.
Much of today's business is transacted over the web or over the phone without an in-person meeting. For that reason, your About Us page must do more than communicate what's special about your company's products or services; it also must inspire trust because without trust, you'll never get the prospect to reach for his wallet.
One of the easiest ways to begin building trust? Tell them where' you're located. To visitors, you're probably just a website address. That's pretty impersonal.
Even if you have your mailing address on your Contact page, it's still a good idea to mention at least your city and state on your About Us page. Then visitors have a sense of how close, or far, you are to them. That's information they can relate to. So simple and yet so many businesses neglect to do so. Every nugget of information you openly share helps inspire a little more trust.
A key function of your About Us page is to inspire trust in your company.
As you write your About Us page, imagine who is most likely to be reading it. Visualize your prospective customers. What are their wants and needs, their objections and hot buttons?
Are you talking to a new mom with a baby?
Is your visitor an IT professional with high-level computer skills or a layperson with limited understanding of technology?
Is he a senior citizen or a school-age child?
You can see how targeting each of these demographics would require a different approach in writing your copy.
Consider your target customers as you write your About Us page. What will excite them about your products?
Just as a magazine or television program is designed with the audience in mind, your About Us page must speak the language of your visitors. Your copy must relate to them and address their specific needs. It should tap into their emotions and motivate them to take action.
Once you've developed targeted copy for your About Us page, you can include some of the most salient facts in other locations of your site, such as on landing pages.
Consider what is most important to your prospective customers and make those facts the most prominent. Perhaps it's your professional credentials such as your education, licenses, awards and depth of experience. In that case, lead with specifics that speak to your qualifications and will give you instant credibility in their eyes.
Describe your unique, special qualities on your About Us page. This is not the time to be bashful!
However, if being able to relate to your customers and good communication skills are what set you apart from the competition, then start your About Us page with your company's definition of these attributes.
You can even include a brief anecdote that demonstrates your corporate philosophy. Remember the movie "Castaway" and Tom Hanks' efforts to deliver a FedEx package? Okay, that story might be a little extreme but you get the idea.
Think of your meetings and phone calls with customers. Answer the questions they most frequently ask, avoiding bold claims that sound too good to be true.
If your water heater will save on energy costs and will also last longer than its nearest competitor, bolster your claims with specifics. State how much the customer can expect to save on energy costs per month and precisely how many years longer they should expect their water heater to last. The details you provide in your copy will make your claims more memorable and believable.
Anytime you can add specific facts and figures to support your claims, you gain credibility in the visitor's mind.
If your business is new and doesn't yet have facts, figures and testimonials to support your claims, talk about your goals and describe what you're doing to achieve them. And start collecting some data. Think about revisiting your About Us page to add in those numbers once you've established a track record.
Some people choose to write their About Us page as though an objective third-party has provided the information. That approach often comes across as stiff and insincere. After all, everyone knows the About Us page is written or at least approved by the website's owner. So go ahead, use first person (I) or first person plural (we), depending on which is more appropriate for your situation.
Corporate-speak copy is boring. A visitor to your website wants to know a real human is behind this business. Be conversational in your copywriting. Write as though you're speaking face-to-face. A friendly tone will make you more likable.
A friendly writing style on your About Us page will help you connect with visitors. Be as likable in your copy as you are in person!
Convey the passion you feel for your company's mission. Be sincere and personal as you tell the story of your brand. There's nothing wrong with letting your personality shine through.
You can still appear professional while being casual, even humorous, in your writing. Stuffy, formal copy can be dull. Instead, let them see your affable, enthusiastic spirit.
As in real life, be authentic. Your sincerity will come through. Even vulnerability can be seen as a positive virtue and therefore could be incorporated into your About Us page. Show the human side of your business. How many times have you seen business owners cry on the TV show "Shark Tank" as they relay the story of their business's birth?
People want to connect with other people. That's easy to forget when writing a corporate website. But consider the incredible success of Facebook, Google+ and LinkedIn. These social networking sites are essentially a colossal collection of About Me pages.
As you write your About Us page, think about connecting with your visitors, much as you might if you were meeting them in person. What do think it's important for them to know about you? How can you engage them? What will they best be able to relate to?
Use your About Us page to establish a rapport with your customers.
Avoid fluff. Flowery language won't win people over. It sounds contrived, even fake. Candor, on the other hand, is compelling. Your visitors will appreciate your honesty.
Don't be afraid to show who you really are. That's how you'll establish a rapport with your visitors, and it's the best way to make them receptive to what you're telling them and what you're selling them, too.
Your About Us page should be more than a corporate resume. It should describe who you are. Write about your values and principles and explain why the product or service you offer is important to you.
Skip the generic stuff. Instead, write in a way that matches your brand's goals.
If there's a charitable component to your business, this is a great place to mention it. One of my clients is a jewelry designer. Her company donates 10% of all sales to various humanitarian efforts around the globe. On her About Us page, she describes how personally gratifying it is to have a business that allows her to be so charitable.
Another client, a manufacturer of plastic containers used to deliver fresh water to people in crisis, was instrumental in rescue efforts in Haiti after the earthquake in 2010. The company tells that story and includes photos, as well as references some of its current charitable endeavors in Africa, on its About Us page.
If your company participates in charitable endeavors, use your About Us page to tell customers about your good works.
Can you see how mentioning corporate missions like these will help visitors to know your company and want to do business with you?
Because emotions impact the decision-making process, your About Us page is the best place to share your brand's values. It's a powerful way to win over the hearts of potential consumers and help them to relate to your company.
Social proof is evidence that you are what you say you are. It can be a powerful motivator for your site visitors.
Your About Us page can include sections such as "Awards" and "Press." It's perfectly appropriate to mention past achievements provided they're relevant and significant.
Got some interesting stats that reflect well on your business? Include those, too. If you've sent out any press releases that resulted in publicity in magazines, newspapers or online publications, you can use quotes from them. Been interviewed on a blog or ezine? Include a link to the write-up.
Include links to your media mentions, endorsements and other PR on your About Us page.
If you have approval or endorsement from a celebrity, an industry expert or even customers, you may find a way to work them into your About Us page. Those third-party endorsements are solid testimonials that can go a long way toward persuading a visitor to trust you.
If you belong to any professional organizations in your industry or in your geographic area, such as the local Chamber of Commerce, include their symbols.
The same goes for oversight associations such as the Better Business Bureau, Consumer Reports, Better Housekeeping (Seal of Approval), Angie's List and other review sites. These items belong on your About Us page because they give legitimacy and credibility to your business in the eyes of the customers.
Nobody wants to read an About Us that is the equivalent of a resume. Resumes, because of their bare-boned listing of facts, are boring. While appropriate for job hunting, you want something more engaging for your About Us page. Find a hook to capture the attention of your visitor.
For example, does your company have an interesting name? Tell its history and what the name means to you today.
One of my clients started his business as a way to save for his two daughters' college education. It was only natural then, that the name of the company is a combination of both girls' names, and that story is told along with a photo of the owner and his two girls on the About Us page.
Do you have an interesting hobby? One of my clients, a real estate broker, is also a marathon runner. In writing her About Us page, we drew an analogy between running and selling real estate – it's not a sprint; it's a marathon. We even included a photo of her running a marathon, which added visual interest and credibility to the page.
Got an interesting hobby or leisure activity? Mention it on your About Us page, particularly if it relates in some way to your business.
Another client, a husband and wife, had an online business selling camping goods. They were avid campers and hikers. Their About Us page described their love for the outdoors and their hope that the products they sold would help others to enjoy outdoor adventures as much as they did.
A husband and wife whose business was selling camping supplies used their About Us page to describe their love of the outdoors.
Their About Us page also described their commitment to only promote products that were environmentally safe and made by manufacturers who shared similar values. Visitors enjoyed hearing the reasons behind the founding of the business. They could relate to the owners and appreciated their sincerity.
Finally, another client who owned a fine dining restaurant had a hot air balloon and frequently traveled to balloon rallies to fly. On his About Us page, we wrote about his love for flying, which was second only to his passion for gourmet cooking.
Write about your hobby on your About Us page, giving visitors an opportunity to get to know the real you.
Is there an interesting anecdote about how the business started? Share it. Everyone loves a good story.
In fact, the best public speakers often communicate their information by telling personal stories. Apply that winning technique to your About Us page and you'll forge a connection with your visitor.
One of my clients owns a company that sells African cooking sauces. On her About Us page, we told her story of immigrating to the U.S. She loved her new country but missed her favorite foods and flavors from home. That was the catalyst for her to start the company, which today successfully sells its products in Whole Foods and other major chains.
The owner of a U.S. African cooking sauce business described how missing the tastes from her home country inspired her to start the company. That story is revealed on her About Us page.
Another client is a former coal miner who wanted to start an internet business and get out of mining, but he didn't know what to sell. One day he was shopping at a Macy's department store and passed an eye-catching display of crystal figurines. For some reason, the picture of those crystal pieces stayed in his mind.
In the ensuing weeks he began researching crystal figurines and jewelry and soon found several high-quality crystal manufacturers, one of which was right in his own state of Pennsylvania. Within weeks he had launched his internet crystal business, now several years old and extremely successful. He no longer mines coal and his About Us page tells his story, starting with the day he saw that beautiful Macy's crystal display. Inspiring, isn't it?
What's the story you tell when people ask how you started your business? That tale belongs on your About Us page.
Another client owned a construction company. His father before him had owned one as well, and he'd grown up going to construction sites with his dad, learning about the business. He'd been the kid with his own little toolbox by age 5, whose weekends were more likely to include a visit to Home Depot than the local playground, and who chose hammer and nails over Legos when he felt like building something. That story on the About Us page was complemented by an old photo of father and 8-year-old son at a construction site.
Yet another client had a good friend who had just been diagnosed with diabetes. The friend complained that he couldn't find any frozen meals that fit his diet. He had to make everything from scratch, which was difficult and time consuming.
Your visitors will appreciate the behind-the-scenes glimpse of your business on the About Us page.
My client, who had experience in the food industry, connected with a group of dietitians and started a line of healthy, frozen meals that were suitable for people with diabetes like his good friend. As with the other examples, the story is told on the About Us page and includes a photo of the founder and his good friend. And it makes for compelling reading!
Here's the takeaway to keep in mind as you write your About Us page: Facts are important but stories get remembered and help you connect with your customers.
Has your business been around for more than a few years? Does it have an impressive history of growth and achievement? A timeline can be a great addition to your About Us page. Include all the relevant milestones and details about your business. You can use a template, such as the one below offered by SlideSalad, or create your own custom presentation.
A timeline can be an eye-catching presentation of your company's history for your About Us page.
Timelines allow you to display a large amount of information and detail in an easy-to-scan format, adding graphical elements and visual variety to your About Us page.
Do you have a blog? Do you want more subscribers?
Your About Us page is a good place to include your email sign-up form.
After your visitors have read all about you, let's hope they like you and want to keep hearing from you. You might be pleasantly surprised at how many new subscribers you get!
Once you've gathered all your information, you may find your About Us page is lengthy. If it's more than a few paragraphs, you'll want to mold your page to include some visual interest. Try breaking up the copy with descriptive subheads, much as I've done in this post. It will help organize the copy and also make it scannable, which is how many people read online.
Mold your About Us page into something as visually appealing as it is informative.
Also consider employing numbers or bullets. You can use them to create a list of your products or services, describe various steps in a process, or provide a historical timeline of your company's development. Bullets are a great way to convey a lot of information without overwhelming the reader. They also provide white space, which is areas without text that help keep a page from looking cluttered.
Look for opportunities to use graphics. Charts, logos, infographics or any other visual representations will make your page more attractive. Just be sure they support what the copy is saying. Include explanations as captions when appropriate.
Charts and other graphics add visual interest to your About Us page.
Finally, include relevant links. If you reference specific products or services, link to the pages where they're described in detail. At the end of your About Us page, include a link to your Contact page so visitors can take the next step in the buying process.
Writing your call to action is easy. Just keep it short, make it easy to understand and offer a benefit.
As a website copywriter, I'd love to tell you that visitors to your site are most interested in reading your text. However, the truth is, we live in a visual world. Many people skim text, pausing just long enough to get the gist and determine its relevance to their needs.
Pictures though, grab their attention, adding color to your page and often making a bigger impression than any copy ever could, although it pains me to admit that.
Look for opportunities to add color to your About page with photos relevant to your subject matter.
While stock photos can work on some of your other pages, for the About Us page, you don't want to use something generic. The visitor wants to get to know you, not the model posing in front of a too-perfect background.
Include your real photo and also pictures of your employees with products if appropriate. These don't have to be studio portraits. In fact, they're more interesting if they're not. They can be pictures taken in your work environment doing what you love.
One of my clients owns a bakery franchise. We included a photo of the founder wearing her baker's hat and apron, making bread in her shop, flour and eggs visible on the table in front of her.
A photo that shows you in your work environment adds visual proof of your professionalism.
For my dog food manufacturer client, we included a photo of the founder with his two dogs. It positioned him as a dog lover and also implied that he wasn't just the company's owner, he was also a customer.
For the camping goods company I mentioned earlier, a photo of the husband, wife and their little boy hiking was a perfect fit for their About Us page.
One company I work with sells a pharmaceutical product for dogs that removes tear stains. For their About Us page, the client wanted to tell the story of his own dog, which had been the inspiration for inventing the product.
The business owner's childhood pet was the inspiration for the company. The About Us page was the perfect place to tell that story.
Another client is a commercial construction company. We photographed the president standing at a large construction site wearing a hardhat and holding a blueprint in his hand.
Get the picture? A photo of you "on the job," will make you seem more real. It's interesting. And it makes you approachable. Visitors will begin to feel they know you. From there, it's just a small leap for them to trust you and want to do business with you.
Someone who wants to do a thorough job of getting to know you may be willing to check out your social networking sites such as Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, Instagram or even YouTube. The same goes for your blog.
Your About Us page should include your social media links, so customers can connect with you on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram and more.

Go ahead, give them a peek behind the scenes. Once your visitors get to know you, they'll like you. And if they like you, they'll trust you. And if they trust you, they'll give you their business.
Does your website have an effective About Us page? If not, you need to get busy. Your About Us page could be the tipping point in converting more visitors into customers.

North Carolina Brothers Settle Lawsuit Over 31 Years of Wrongful Imprisonment
Loaded on Jan. 31, 2018 by Matthew Clarke published in Prison Legal News February, 2018, page 54
Filed under: Wrongful Imprisonment. Location: North Carolina.
by Matt Clarke
On April 11, 2017, two North Carolina brothers who had been wrongfully convicted and spent 31 years in prison before being exonerated of a rape-murder by DNA evidence moved to dismiss their lawsuit against the government agencies and law enforcement officers complicit in their wrongful convictions, following an undisclosed settlement.
Half-brothers Henry Lee McCollum and Leon Brown were 19 and 15 years old, respectively, when they were arrested for the 1983 rape and murder of 11-year-old Sabrina Buie. They were released from prison over three decades later, in 2014, after DNA evidence from the crime scene exonerated them and identified another person, Roscoe Artis, as the murderer.
At the time McCollum and Brown were arrested, police knew that Artis had a history of multiple assaults against women, was a suspect in similar murders and lived in a house next to where Buie's body was found. Nonetheless, based on little more than a rumor circulating at a local high school, they arrested the brothers – both of whom were intellectually disabled – and subjected them to hours of continuous interrogation without allowing them to contact their parents or an attorney. Officers also threatened them both verbally and physically when they asserted their innocence or refused to talk. Eventually, the brothers were coerced into signing confessions providing details of the crime; three other boys mentioned in the high school rumor all proved to have unbreakable alibis.
Law enforcement officials ignored the fact that fingerprints from the crime scene excluded McCollum and Brown. They failed to convey information about that discrepancy and other exculpatory evidence to the prosecutor in the case, much less the defense attorney. Based almost exclusively on the coerced confessions, the brothers were convicted and sentenced to death. At a retrial following a successful appeal, McCollum was again sentenced to death while Brown received life.
Ironically, the brothers met Artis while they were incarcerated. He was on death row for one of at least two rape-murders he was believed to have committed after the Buie murder. He befriended Brown and McCollum, who were being abused by other prisoners, and told them he knew they were innocent but never admitted to killing and raping Buie.
Both brothers filed post-conviction motions; with the help of another prisoner, Brown also contacted the North Carolina Innocence Inquiry Commission, requesting that they review his case. The Red Springs Police Department initially claimed it had no records; however, thanks to the dogged determination of commission investigator Sharon Stellato, the records were found at the department. After multiple interviews with Artis on death row, Stellato was also able to secure a DNA sample. It was used to show his DNA was present at the Buie crime scene, which led to McCollum and Brown's exoneration and release.
Assisted by Orlando, Florida attorney Patrick Michael Megaro, the brothers filed a federal civil rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983, alleging law enforcement officials had falsely arrested them, coerced false confessions, concealed exculpatory evidence, committed perjury, fabricated evidence and maliciously prosecuted them. Named as defendants were the Town of Red Springs, Robeson County, Sheriff Kenneth Sealy, North Carolina Bureau of Investigation agents Leroy Allen and Kenneth Snead, Deputy Sheriff Joel Garth Locklear, Red Springs police officer Larry Floyd and the estate of former Red Springs Chief of Police Luther Haggins.
The district court approved the settlement agreement and granted a motion to seal the records – which included the settlement amount – in December 2017. The lawsuit had claimed that Brown "was destroyed" by his wrongful incarceration and was sexually assaulted and beaten by other prisoners, resulting in severe mental health problems that persisted after his release. See: McCollum v. Robeson County, U.S.D.C. (E.D. NC), Case No. 5:15-cv-00451-BO.
McCollum and Brown had previously been declared innocent and pardoned, and received $750,000 each through a separate wrongful conviction compensation process in 2015.

Last night the CMS Board of Education approved a revised Equity Policy. The Policy identifies six areas of action related to equity. Staff will provide school level data related to each area, and based on that data recommend actions to make our schools equitable.
The Policy also establishes a Community Equity Committee:
…as a partner in dialogue regarding equity. Members of the Community Equity Committee will review and discuss CMS data and programs in order to monitor progress toward equity. Equity Committee members will represent members of parent, student, educational, faith, and community groups with the expectation that they will become both thought partners in, and community advocates for equity. The diverse nature of the group will provide staff with a sounding board for future initiatives.
The Equity Committee will meet regularly to review reports and monitor progress. Observations and recommendations based upon those discussions will be delivered to the Board.
The new Equity Policy and the Equity Committee mark an important first step in involving the greater community in helping CMS create more equitable educational opportunities.
