Well hello there! Long time no see. What have you been up to? I just returned from an extended weekend getaway in Myrtle Beach.
With dreams of escaping the gray and gloom that is Michigan in March, Five Cent Femme and I flew to South Carolina for a three-day weekend. Yep – Girls' Weekend!
Unfortunately the weather wasn't quite what we had in mind, with temperatures mostly in the 50s, a couple brief periods in the mid-60s, and spotty rain throughout the weekend. But we still managed to fit quite a bit into our weekend.
As always, I'm here to fill you in on all the Food From My Travels.
First meal of the trip was at Cannoli's Café, a well-reviewed, cute little shop featuring coffee, sandwiches, cannolis, and the like. The chicken salad sandwich on a flaky croissant hit the spot.
Barefoot Resort was our digs for the weekend. The resort, located in North Myrtle Beach, is located at a yacht club and also features golf onsite, as well as a shopping/dining complex. While condo units with kitchens are available, we stayed in a standard room, featuring a huge bathroom with a double vanity, and separate tub and shower, walk-in closet, and two queen beds. While we really liked the accommodations, we were less than impressed with the customer service (or lack thereof) received, and as a result, I probably wouldn't recommend the resort.
By far, the best part of our room was the AMAZING balcony overlooking the canal and yachts! Totally spent some extremely blissful hours out here drinking wine.
King Kong Sushi was our first dinner destination.
Loved the sushi though! I ordered two spicy rolls, of course.
The next morning, in our rental car we drove to the Huntington Beach State Park located in Murrells Inlet, South Carolina.
The beach was gorgeous and I was THRILLED to be there after this crazy winter!
Number One Vacation Goal: Dig toes in sand.
Parody on the movie Spring Breakers. Have you seen that movie?? It's so bad and effed up, that you just really need to experience it to believe it.
The state park also features hiking trails through the marsh. Just watch out for dog shiz. Take Five Cent Femme's word for it.
After hanging out at the State Park for a couple hours, it began to rain, so we packed up and headed to the Marshwalk for lunch at the Dead Dog Saloon. The restaurant has a huge, sunny bar area overlooking the marsh, which is pretty cool.
I had a tasty crab cake sandwich.
We also nibbled on a complimentary basket of hushpuppies. Heck yeah.
In the area, we also checked out some of the awesome waterfront homes. Want!
The rain held off for a couple hours after lunch, and so we headed to the lovely Brookgreen Gardens for the afternoon. Pretty cool place!
In love with these trees. Aren't they romantical?
Palm trees AND tulips! Too things I have not seen in far too long!
Brookgreen Gardens also has a small zoo! We visited during the last hour of they day they were open (4-5pm) and had the place to ourselves! It was also raining slightly during our visit, which might have scared off other visitors. But not us. We are hardy Michiganders.
At the zoo, you can get up close and personal with the birds in the aviary. So cool! We also loved the foxes, and the otters, of course!
Our Friday night dinner, in classic tourist fashion, was at Margaritaville! We scored two prime seats at the bar and watched the Michigan basketball game (which we won, against Tennessee), which was pretty much, well, a blast. Most of the people down south were rooting for Tennessee and so the win was especially sweet! The two of us totally wailed out The Victors after our win!
For dinner I had a surprisingly great Taco Salad, and margaritas were enjoyed as well! Good night, good night.
That's the end of Part I! I'll be back soon to wrap up our getaway recap.
Haha, my travel companion was confused too! They're fried cornmeal batter, basically. Fried carbs… Apparently these are more common in the South.
That chocolate-covered cannoli looks delightfully sinful.
Looks like you enjoyed Myrtle Beach! King Kong Sushi is my favorite! I love the Hurriane Roll!. You can find some local southern restaurants a little inland in Conway, SC too! (Rivertown Bistro, Dillybeans, and Cradys to name a few!) If you're ever in the area again you should check out my blog where my friend and I (transplanted locals) explore the Myrtle Beach area.
I live in the area, but had not been to most of the places you ate at, so I'll have to try them out. Dead Dog Saloon is in my neck of the woods and have been there often. I do have a correction for you, It's Brookgreen Gardens, not Brookstone. I enjoyed reading your visitor thoughts. Come back soon!

The annual Children's Fair is a central part of Camp Blaze's mission. We believe the success of our children requires strong and connected families linked to a family-focused community including the workplace, churches, government, education, recreation, and non-profit agencies. The Children's Fair is an effective way to spotlight the community's family-focused resource base.
The Children's Fair has been held the first Saturday of May for the past 26 years and is hosted at the Big Vanilla Athletic Club in Arnold, Maryland. This community outreach offers a time for family fun with hands-on educational, resource, and health exhibits that help make a difference in raising children today. The Fair has a special dimension in spotlighting Hometown Heroes, family, business, and civic leaders whose good deeds inspire us to do better, and whose love and actions help children to learn about their culture, to learn what is right and wrong, good and true and what is honorable.
The Children's Fair was created for highlighting the value of good deeds and connecting families to the educational, medical, entertainment, nutritional, political, spiritual, and sports components that address family life in our county and state. This is why in 2012 over 10,000 people took part in the Fair. The Fair is a place for families to come and be encouraged by the strength of support in our county, and leave with a renewed sense of hope and purpose in addressing family needs.

Strange Speech on the Early Modern Stage
Montgomery, Marianne, Department of English, University of Virginia
Maus, Katharine, Department of English, University of Virginia
Kinney, Clare, Department of English, University of Virginia
Nohrnberg, James, Department of English, University of Virginia
This dissertation surveys five of the major languages heard on London's commercial stages during the three decades 1590-1620 and the cultural issues that they made audible. Generally, literary criticism in this area has focused on a few significant issues raised by strange speech in early modern plays, most notably the residual religious charge carried by Latin and the relationship between dialect comedy and the construction of Britain. I show, however, that other equally fraught religious, economic, and political concerns are made audible when strange vernaculars are staged. Although strange language marks cultural distance, the theater promises translation by means of gesture, action, and the English speech of other characters. Rather than representing the early modern English as exclusively narrow-minded, parochial, and suspicious of apparent outsiders, these plays begin to imagine transnational communities based on shared values and interests and suggest that theater is especially well-equipped to model such communities. After an introduction that briefly surveys early modern representations of foreign speech in a variety of non-dramatic genres, Chapter 1 listens to strange women's voices in Henry V and Henry IV, Part 1, linking French and Welsh in these plays to early modern accounts of the embodiment of language in the mother's breast and the mother's tongue. Moving from history to city comedy, Chapter 2 concentrates on Dutch in Marston's The Dutch Courtesan, Middleton's No Wit, No Help Like a Woman's, and Dekker's The Shoemaker's Holiday and argues that Dutch offers early modern dramatists a way of thinking about commercial identity. Chapter 3 investigates a language that is Montgomery, Abstract 4. more elusive in plays but certainly culturally resonant for early modern Englanders: Spanish. Instead of engaging directly with contemporary Spanish cultural politics, plays that represent Spanish tend to fragment language into multiple exotic cants. Chapter 4, on Latin, considers not Latin's liturgical and religious associations but its dramatic status as a university cant. Ultimately, this dissertation argues that early modern drama holds up linguistic variety as a source of strength and uses it to sound out the complex interstices of identity that produced the values of the early modern English subject. 5.

Advanced Compensation and Benefits MasterClass
With many markets in the region gearing up for continued post-recession business growth, many employers are facing a challenge of aligning compensation and benefits practices with business strategies, and the challenge of implementing advanced compensation techniques that improve the relationship between compensation and employee performance and business results.

The module on "Pay-for-Performance" (day 2) will provide a detailed knowledge of how to equip yourself with the key C&B skills to motivate employees and reward their performance, and get a better understanding of the latest best-practice approaches for key compensation and reward practices geared towards pay-for-performance. The module will explain how to manage performance ratings and how to analyse the distribution curve of performance ratings,
and if necessary how to use the new approach of "snap-ratio" to manage a forced distribution curve of performance ratings. The module will explain in practical detail how to link pay with performance, especially through the annual pay review process and using merit-pay awards.
Course Methodology
This course will provide you with the latest best-practice advanced compensation techniques and you will have an opportunity to discuss and test various ideas and to establish what may work for your company. You will be given access to various tools and techniques, as well as information on the latest advanced trends and developments.

• Explore the compensation tools that can be used to retain and motivate top-performers
Request detailed Agenda - Advanced Compensation and Benefits MasterClass
The Trainer:
Robert Mosley is widely recognised in many industries and many countries as one of the leading global experts on compensation and benefits, and is also a leading expert in the more general field of human resources and performance management. His main areas of expertise and specialism are in the fields of job analysis, job descriptions, job evaluation, grading schemes, pay structures, allowances, bonuses and incentives, industrial relations and collective agreements, e-HR systems, performance management, performance appraisals, and all issues on compensation and benefits globally, especially in Europe and the GCC and Asia having worked in these regions for over 30 years.
Robert was born and educated in London, the UK, and he graduated with a MA masters degree in Mathematics from Oxford University (in UK) in 1983, and then obtained his MBA masters degree in business studies from London Business School (in the UK) and Chicago Business School (in the USA) in 1985.

Brazilian authorities squabble over TelexFree funds
Sep.26, 2016 in regulation, TelexFree
To date Brazilian authorities have seized and fined TelexFree for over R$1 billion ($308 million USD).
On top of that the Brazilian IRS have issued TelexFree with more than R$3 billion ($924 million USD) in tax-related penalties.
The state of Acre, who were first to freeze to TelexFree in Brazil, are trying to secure these funds to put towards local resources.
Last Thursday the governor of Acre
signed a bill authorizing the state government to use 70% of the money in the hands of the judiciary.
This is currently about R$700 million ($215 million USD).
The worry is that, owing to Acre's current debt status, the state might not be in a position to return the funds at a later date.
This has prompted the Attorney General to announce they will file an "urgent submission" with the Supreme Court on Monday.
The aim of the filing is to 'suspend the effectiveness of the law' Acre is using to access and withdraw TelexFree case funds.
Meanwhile over in Esprito Santo, another Brazilian state, Judges have ordered that some of the TelexFree funds should be transferred to the state. The decision was made with respect to ongoing criminal, securities and tax foreclosure investigations.
To date the requested funds have not been transferred.
Personally I don't think Acre should be permitted to access the funds to prop up the local government.
That money ultimately should be returned to TelexFree victims, either through the US Receivership or a similar entity set up in Brazil.

Is the State of Acre the "ebil gubmint?" In the eyes of many Brazilians… probably yes.

It's ALWAYS the ebil gubmint. Brazilians aren't too proud of their legal system.

K. Chang:
Hahahaha… You are saying something bad about my country. But FIRST you need to ask yourself: Did Acre is part of the Brazil! NO! We don't need it! Let's return it to Bolivian people!
Whatever is happening today, Acre deserves credit as the first authority to take legal action against TelexFree.

What makes newsworthy research? - Editor Resources
What makes newsworthy research?
An overview of the criteria we look for when deciding which articles are right for a press campaign.
Back to Media Relations
You probably already know that you can highlight newsworthy research to the Taylor & Francis Press & Media Relations team with our press nomination form. However, not all research articles are right for a press campaign.
Identifying newsworthy research can be tricky, so in this post we'll take you through the criteria to consider.
A major breakthrough in the field: A significant development in the field, which could be relevant to the general public.
Impact on society: Research on an issue which affects the day-to-day lives of ordinary people.
Recommendation for change: New approaches to current issues based on solid evidence can appeal to policy-makers and the general public.
Timely: Most audiences are interested in research relating to current events.
Take a look at our infographic to see how different newsworthy research articles meet these criteria. You can also see the impact of these press campaigns reflected in the Altmetric scores and article views.
What research makes the news?
These criteria for newsworthy research can give you ideas on themes which do well in the media. However, there may be articles which don't meet these criteria, but are still suitable for press attention. The Taylor & Francis Press & Media Relations team are happy to discuss articles which you think might have potential.
So, if you've seen an article which would suit a press campaign, use the press nomination form to let us know, and we will be in touch.

We're still at the outset of our Veterans Initiative, so it's a tremendous honor for Cushman & Wakefield to receive Military Friendly®'s Silver Designation.
Military Friendly® is a go-to organization for veterans transitioning out of the armed forces and seeking employers who emphasize hiring veterans and their family members. Its company survey investigates and identifies organizations whose commitment to serving the military and veteran community is comprehensive in scope and meaningful in terms of actual outcomes and impact. We launched our new Veterans Initiative this year and exceeded Military Friendly® Standard Ratings for hiring and onboarding, opportunity and advancement, culture and commitment, support and retention, policies and compliance and recruiting and sourcing.
Already, we've partnered with Hiring Our Heroes and the Corporate Fellowship Program to identify and train veterans who are interested in a career in commercial real estate. It's important for veterans in transition to translate military skills – in construction/project management or logistics, for example – into civilian roles, and we help them emphasize and explain to civilian recruiters and HR the enormous value and experience they bring to the table.
Additionally, we've focused on our own veterans, their service and sacrifice and telling their stories on how skills developed and life in the military prepared them for civilian real estate careers.
Across the board, Cushman & Wakefield provides veterans and reservists with a culture that celebrates veteran's contributions and leadership, rewarding work related to veteran skills and talents and a community of camaraderie. In addition to Hiring Our Heroes, we also partner with the Veterans Job Mission, Syracuse University's Institute for Military Veteran and Families and Operation Finally Home.
For our company, hiring veterans is far more than the right thing to do – though it certainly is that. It's also smart business strategy.
Frank Stanley is the Veteran Recruiting and Program Manager for Cushman & Wakefield's Veteran Initiative Program. Mr. Stanley (U.S. Army, LTC.) is a 34-year veteran and well suited in the recruitment and retention of former service personnel.

6 Key Differences Between Maruti Jimny and Mahindra Thar

6 Key Differences Between Maruti Jimny and Mahindra Thar (Image: globalsuzuki.com/auto.mahindra.com)
Delhi : Small, rough, and somewhat off-roading cars have a distinct appeal in most parts of the world. The fourth-generation Suzuki Jimny has been enormously popular in different global markets since its introduction in 2018, and those who couldn't get their hands on it, especially Indian customers, were really upset. However, Maruti brought the small adventure vehicle over for Auto Expo 2020, and the automaker has since said that it is looking into creating a five-door version for the Indian market. The recent popularity of the second-gen Mahindra Thar (which has a seven-month waiting list!) which is a three-door option may convince Maruti to sell the Jimny in a global-spec variant as well.
Thar's engines are more powerful
Mahindra offers both petrol and diesel engines in the Thar, whereas the Jimny is only available in Europe with a 1.5-litre petrol engine. Even if Maruti provided the India-spec Jimny with the BS6 1.5-litre diesel engine, it would be less powerful than the Thar. Here are the precise figures:
Jimny is much lighter than Thar
The Thar and the global-spec Jimny are both three-door vehicles, although the Mahindra is much larger. Even if we consider that Maruti will be engineering a longer 5-door variant, the Jimny would still lose in terms of breadth and height to the Thar.
Maruti would like to keep its off-roader in the sub-4m SUV range, akin to the Thar, therefore overall length will probably be similar. However, because it is also substantially lighter, the Jimny's small size helps balance out the aforementioned lack of performance. The heaviest Jimny weighs 1,110kg, whereas the diesel-AT Thar has a kerb weight of 1,783kg.
It is important to note that the Mahindra Thar outperforms the Suzuki Jimny in terms of safety. The Jimny received a three-star rating in the Euro NCAP tests despite having more airbags and automated emergency braking whereas the Thar received four stars in the Global NCAP crash tests.
Jimny resembles a tiny G-wagon, while Thar resembles a Jeep
Yes, design is a subjective subject. However, since Suzuki launched the model, parallels between the Jimny and the Mercedes-Benz G-Class have proliferated on the internet. The round headlamps and boxy proportions give it the appearance of a small G-wagon. Meanwhile, the Thar is considered a classic Jeep and is frequently compared to the more expensive Jeep Wrangler. Both take a unique approach to the same raw charm. While the Jimny strives for a more premium appearance, the Thar has a classic aesthetic that appeals to its audience.
Jimny does not have the option of a convertible soft-top or a fixed hard-top
Mahindra equips the second-generation Thar either a convertible soft-top or a permanent hard top from the factory, increasing its versatility. It caters to both adventure seekers and those seeking a combination of pragmatism and lifestyle. In contrast to the fitted tops of the Thar's rear part, the Jimny only comes with a single piece hardtop.
Off-road by the numbers
Both vehicles come standard with 4WD and a low-range transfer case. Because we don't yet have figures for the future 5-door Jimny, let's look at the off-road dimensions of both SUVs' three-door versions:
The Thar has more ground clearance and can wade through water than the Jimny. The Suzuki has a much steeper departure angle, while the Mahindra has a superior off-road approach angle. Both cars have extremely comparable breakover angles, although the Jimny has a 1-degree advantage over the Thar.
Jimny will be a higher-end option.
In comparison to most SUVs, the cabins of the Jimny and Thar have a utilitarian air to them. Mahindra updated the Thar's cabin with roof-mounted speakers, a 7.0-inch touchscreen infotainment system, and a multi-information display in the centre of the instrument cluster. The Jimny's cabin, on the other hand, appears more luxury due to its materials, design around the instruments, and options such as auto AC.
The Suzuki comes standard with a slew of safety features, including autonomous emergency braking, lane departure warning, and six airbags. The India-spec Jimny may lack certain safety measures, but it may still receive more premium equipment than the Thar, such as LED headlamps.

iPhone X: Everything You Need to Know
By Stephanie Rogers
Apple might not ever be the same after the iPhone X — and maybe we won't, either. The tech giant took several steps forward with the release of its three latest smartphone models, which were officially announced on September 12th, 2017. While the iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus are what we'd expect as follow-ups to the 7 and 7 Plus models, the X breaks the mold, taking the iPhone series in a new direction with features that are likely to become standard among all smartphones within the next few years. Chief among these features are an all-glass design, Super Retina display, TrueDepth camera system, an A11 bionic chip with a neural engine, and "Face ID" facial recognition.
The debut of the iPhone X falls on the iPhone's 10th anniversary, hence the name, which is meant to be pronounced "iPhone Ten." Apple's CEO, Tim Cook, announced the release at an event on the Apple Campus in the Steve Jobs Theater, revealing all the juicy details. Cook calls the X "the biggest leap forward since the original iPhone," revealing it as a slimline, water and dust-resistant volume available in space grey and silver. It's equipped with surgical-grade stainless steel on its front and back, topped with Apple's most durable glass ever.
So what's new with the iPhone X? Let's start with that buzz-worthy facial recognition feature, which scans the user's face to verify their identity and unlock the phone, pay for purchases, and gain access to secure apps. Face ID uses the iPhone X's new state-of-the-art TrueDepth camera system to project more than 30,000 invisible IR dots onto the user's face, creating a mathematical model that becomes their login key. The neural networks Apple uses to confirm a match are capable of adapting to physical changes in appearance over time, even if you cut or dye your hair or are wearing sunglasses. Apple ensures that the phone's detailed 3D scan of your face will be stored in "a secure enclave" to protect against identity theft.
That means there's no longer a need for the home button, which has been eliminated entirely in favor of a sleek glass touchscreen. If you prefer, however, you can still opt out of using the facial recognition software and continue using a passcode to open your phone, calling up the number pad with a simple swipe up from the bottom of the screen. You can still activate Siri by voice or by using the side button, and a double tap of the sleep/wake button activates Apple Pay. The 3D-mapping facial recognition feature also enables users to have some fun with "Animoji," which transfers your facial expressions and mouth movements onto emoji characters.
The X's new OLED display is a first for the iPhone, measuring 5.8 inches with a resolution of 2,436 by 1,125 pixels. Dolby Vision and HDR10 support video playback in stunning crispness, playing 4K-resolution movies at a speed of 60 frames per second. The iPhone X also boasts a 12-megapixel rear camera with dual optical image stabilization and a 7-megapixel front camera that supports Portrait mode with auto image stabilization and exposure control. The phone's A11 Bionic Chip combined with a 64-bit processor and a new graphics unit boosts performance by 30 percent. The battery lasts two hours longer than that of the iPhone 7 Plus, and instead of plugging your iPhone X into a cable charger, you can simply place it on a wireless charging pad called AirPower.
As you might expect, all of this innovation comes at a price: the iPhone X will start at $999 for 64GB of storage, with the price going up for the 256GB model. Meanwhile, the iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus are priced at $700 and $800, respectively. These new models improve upon their predecessors in the form of wireless charging, better battery performance, higher quality cameras, and other features, but stick to Touch ID technology instead of the new Face ID. The 8 and 8 Plus will also have the redesigned all-glass backing. It's unclear whether Apple ever plans to release an iPhone 9. The iPhone X is currently available for pre-order through Apple and other authorized distributors, with deliveries beginning on November 3rd.

"Banks Pump Up"? So Do Whistleblower Lawyers!
There was a interesting article in today's New York Post. Titled "Banks Pump Up," the article contained a cleverly photoshopped graphic of the faces JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon and Bank of America CEO Brian Moynihan superimposed over the torsos of body builders. Moynihan's left bicep has an "I love Trump" tattoo.
So are big banks out of the woods? Probably not.
Banks aren't celebrating because they suddenly cleaned up their act. Instead their happiness comes from a perception that regulators will leave them alone for the next 4 years.
We aren't sure that is true. And even if it is, whistleblowers still have the ability to prosecute bad their behavior.
2016 was the year of the whistleblower. The Justice Department paid out $519 million in awards. The SEC also had a record year in awards. Who are behind these awards? Whistleblowers.
Under the SEC Whistleblower program and False Claim Act, insiders with information about fraud are eligible for awards. Whistleblower awards under both program are as high as 30% of whatever is collected from the wrongdoers. With fines often in the millions of dollars, million dollar whistleblower awards are quite common too. This is especially true in the financial services sector.
In our opinion, the senior management of many of the world's top banks are motivated solely by money. There is nothing wrong with earning a profit. We don't advocate profits over people, however. Ripping off the public, taxpayers and customers is never acceptable.
Whether a Trump administration means easier sledding for Wall Street remains to be seen. Whistleblowers in the United States, however, are entitled to bring their own actions directly in the name of the government. Our False Claims Act is unique in the world. Even if the government refuses to prosecute, whistleblower actions can usually be prosecuted privately.
If you have inside information about fraud involving federal funds or programs, contact us. All inquiries are always kept confidential. In the last few years, our clients have collected over $100 million in whistleblower awards.
Whistleblowers do make a difference. There is hope for real change. If not by the government then by the people.

The east coast of Spain, particularly the area that lies within the Valencian Community offers some of the best bird watching in Europe. Bird watching in Valencia is extremely diverse owing to two key factors. Firstly, the geographical position of Spain is directly on a major migration route for a vast array of species. The fact that many migrating birds use the coastline as an aid to navigation means that they pass over and stop off along the Valencian coast. The second major positive influence for bird watching in Valencia is the hugely diverse habitat range.
I have lived in Spain since 2006 and since then have "birded" throughout Valencia on a regular basis. Despite the diversity of habitat and species, it quickly became apparent that the area is not that user-friendly to the visiting birder, especially those from abroad. With that in mind, when I decided upon a complete career change in 2009 I made the decision to establish Valencia Birding.
As a professional and licenced guide I provide guided bird watching trips and holidays throughout the Valencia region. I offer anything from a single day trip for an individual to a week´s holiday for families or groups.
My client base is truly international, and I´ve had the pleasure of providing guiding services to visitors from USA, Australia, New Zealand, UK, Finland, Germany, Holland and Belgium. Many have combined a day or two of birding with other holiday plans whilst others have relied on me to arrange their holiday accommodation too. By working with a close team of collaborators, including local hotels and guest houses, I can provide "tailor-made" packages to suit the clients´needs.
The habitat of the Valencia region differs greatly and as such is home to a stunningly diverse range of bird species. Perhaps the best known area is the Natural Park of Albufera de Valencia. This freshwater lake, surrounded by rice fields and reed beds has an eco-system all of its own. The rice growing cycle ensures that the habitat is ever-changing, and as it does, so does the bird life. In spring, Albufera de Valencia provides breeding grounds for Little Egret, Cattle Egret, Great Egret, Grey Heron, Purple Heron, Squacco Heron and Night Heron. Other, rarer breeding species include the Purple Swamp Hen and Crested Coot. In winter, tens of thousands of ducks arrive from Northern Europe and beyond. Species include Garganey, Pintail and Teal.
Other classic Albufera species include Spoonbill, Marsh Harrier, and countless waders such as Spotted Redshank, Little Ringed Plover, Curlew Sandpiper and Black Tailed Godwit.
Other coastal sites of Valencia provide habitat for the critically endangered White Headed Duck together with other species such as Collared Pratincole, Whiskered Tern, Glossy Ibis and Little Bittern.
The rugged crags and mountains of the Valencian Sierras are perhaps the most impressive landscapes of the entire area. Summits of over 1,100 metres above sea level, knife-edge ridges and soaring limestone cliffs form a truly dramatic environment.
This is where we can find many of the region´s birds of prey. The mighty Golden Eagle breeds annually, as does Booted Eagle, Bonelli´s Eagle, Griffon Vulture (below) and Eagle Owl. Other mountain species include Blue Rock Thrush, Black Wheatear, Alpine Swift, Crag Martin and Alpine Accentor.
The steppe and lagoon of Castilla de la Mancha lies just outside the Province of Valencia but is easily accessible for a day trip. The habitat is in complete contrast to the rocky sierras that are to be found further East. Vast areas of steppe are located at heights in excess of 1,000 metres above sea level. "Big skies" and wide open spaces make this area very special although life in this area is only for the hardy. Night time winter temperatures plummet way below freezing whilst the heat of summer can be in excess of 40 degrees C.
The classic steppe species include the World´s heaviest flying bird, the Great Bustard, together with Black Bellied and Pin-tailed Sandgrouse, Little Bustard and Stone Curlew. Rock Sparrows and Calandra Lark are other typical species. The area´s lagoons hold Greater Flamingo, Black-Necked Grebe, Gull-Billed Tern and Whiskered Tern. Migration time on the steppe can yield many surprises including Honey Buzzard, Crane and Dotterel.
It is a privilege to provide bird watching trips in such a wonderfully diverse area and although the hours of work are long, it is exceptionally rewarding to experience the thrill of a client who sees specific species for the first time, or enjoys a particularly good view of a bird previously only seen in brief glimpses. There are often very special moments. Crisp cold sunrise out on the steppe in winter is stunning. Sunsets in Albufera are always beautiful but when experienced from beside a roosting spot for Squacco Herons they take on an extra special dimension.
Day trips and holidays are available throughout the year. There´s always something of interest to see in this beautiful area of Spain.

Why Fashion Should Be on the Climate Change Agenda
09/21/2014 10:39 am ET Updated Nov 21, 2014
Fashion matters. As we approach a series of crunch talks for the planet on environmental issues pertaining to climate change, beginning with UN talks in New York, I want to say this loud and proud.
Could I even go as far as saying that we could solve climate change if we all dressed in a sustainable manner? Well, let's take a closer look...
The path to a more just and ecologically sound existence for us all is notoriously rocky, but each industry must play its part in cleaning up and bringing substantive change. For some reason the fashion industry is often ignored, or cast aside as if it was an irrelevance.
Whatever the reason, I never bought it. A few years ago we set up environmental brand consultancy, Eco-Age and worked to take the environmental and ethical sting out of life in a logical and innovative way. The key to mainstreaming green thinking and behaviours is to make them realistic opportunities. As we approach a series of crunch talks on environmental issues pertaining to climate change, beginning with the UN talks in New York this week, we need to bear this in mind.
Fashion was always on our agenda, not because we're rabid fashionistas, but because we could see the immense opportunity to help the world's great design visionaries to match their aesthetics with their ethics. And so we began the Green Carpet Challenge (GCC). This is all about putting sustainable style center stage. At London Fashion Week on Sunday, Sept. 14, we launched our latest GCC collection with Stella McCartney. This is the fifth time we have awarded a brand our GCC brandmark. Previously we worked deep in the supply chain, with the Rainforest Alliance and the National Wildlife Federation, to certify the world's first zero-deforestation handbag collection with Gucci. In this partnership we acknowledged that the leather industry was one of the biggest drivers of Amazonian deforestation and developed a product line to help push 'clean' leather into the market.
Why do I feel so strongly that fashion is a pivotal industry to get right? Firstly because it is a full spectrum industry. It extends from the farmers that grow cotton to the women beading in ateliers, it encompasses millions of people from agriculture to the creative marketing and selling. It is also dependent on the animal kingdom and some of the most fragile ecosystems on earth. Therefore fashion touches on every great environmental theme: climate change, declining available resources, lost wilderness, flooding, through to the flipside of flooding - drought. And of course, all of these are interconnected.
But while human kind continues to treat fashion as a frivolous side line, it pollutes and squanders with impunity. In pursuit of selling fast and furiously, it can transgress ecological boundaries and leave social justice in tatters.
At the same time what an opportunity to make this industry a sustainable trailblazer! Every single day we all perform two simple actions: we eat and we get dressed. (Admittedly, we have sometimes sought to make these two simple actions as fraught with difficulty as possible). But in essence, two simple, universal actions.
However there's a huge discrepancy between the amount of time and effort we have spent analysing the impact of the contemporary food change. Granted there is still work to do, but from the impact of livestock to international reports on food waste we have begun to map the impact of the way we produce and consumer food on planetary health. By contrast, there are few such reports on the fashion industry. This is crazy because with the exception of the mining sectors, it's hard to think of an industry -- at least one that we all connect with every day -- which has quite such a dramatic ecological and social footprint.
Today, approximately 80 billion garments are produced new every year. Imagine all the resources that this requires. To make our clothes we need water (between 11,000 and 20,000 litres of water are needed to produce enough textile for one pair of jeans). From oil for synthetic fibres, to energy for textile production and dye for colour -- we are dependent on multifarious resources at a time when these resources are being degraded at unprecedented speed.
Fast fashion has been a huge part of this, as we all became voracious consumers caught up in an unsustainable churn of clothes, micro trends and disposability. This industry has created a "factory of consumers" whereas it is the offer to drive/create demand. We buy in a rush and discard as quickly. But where all these clothes go? As consumers, we seem to worship at the altar of "wear-it-today, chuck-it-tomorrow" fast fashion mentality. But short-term thinking inevitably has a later cost...
And let's not forget that underneath that all we have an army of millions of humans, tilling the soil, picking the cotton, processing it - ginning, weaving, dyeing; working looms, sewing embellishments and sequins and buttons and working sewing machines in huge factories. As Lucy Siegle, British journalist and author of my bible on ethical fashion To Die For: is fashion wearing out the world? (Harper Collins 2011) puts it 'brands, retailers and consumers have all become fantastically adept at divorcing fashion from the very fact that it is been made by an army of living, breathing, human beings with resources which are depleting the environment'.
But the number of challenges should also illustrate the scale of the opportunity. I believe we're on the threshold of a new fashion industry where ethics and glamour co-exist, where new fibres and technology minimise impact, where fashion brands begin to acknowledge their debt to the natural world and invest in sustaining it for their future and our future. What an opportunity this is! It will give us the golden chance to become active citizens through our wardrobes.
So we go back to my initial "provoking" question: could we solve climate change if we all were to buy carefully and get more 'fashion mileage' out of each piece? If we bought with heart and commitment, and wear with heart and commitment too? If we fell in love not just with a fleeting trend, but with the stories of the clothes that we own. To love them more and for longer? For anybody that cares about fashion and the planet, who thinks the two can co-exist, it's time to have these conversations, be courageous the fling open the doors of the global closet!
This post is part of a month-long series produced by The Huffington Post in conjunction with a variety of events being held in September recognizing the threats posed by climate change. Those events include the UN's Climate Summit 2014 (to be held Sept. 23, 2014, at UN headquarters in New York) and Climate Week NYC (Sept. 22-28, 2014, throughout New York City).

M-commerce Outpacing E-commerce Growth
Shares of G-III Apparel Group Ltd. rose more than 13 percent in morning trading Wednesday after the company reported third-quarter results that soared past analysts' expectations and raised its full-year guidance.
Morris Goldfarb, chairman, president and chief executive officer, told analysts on a morning conference call that the New York-based firm, which attributed about 60 percent of its third-quarter wholesale revenues to outerwear, had benefitted from a strong performance in the category.
With the catalyst of "early cold weather across nearly the entire country," G-III has seen strength in coats and jackets "that extends to all tiers of distribution. And, given the strong early sell-throughs, our expectation is that we will see a strong finish to our outerwear business in the fourth quarter," he said.
G-III finished the third quarter on a strong note, with net income for the three months ended Oct. 31 rising 35.3 percent to $80.6 million, or $3.53 a diluted share, from $$59.6 million, or $2.85, in the 2013 quarter. On an adjusted basis, EPS was $3.09, 20 cents above the $2.89 consensus estimate of industry analysts.

Revenues were up 21.5 percent to $812.3 million from $668.7 million a year ago, with the increase at 11.9 percent when the $66 million contribution of Bass, acquired from PVH Corp. in November 2013, is subtracted. The consensus estimate was for revenues of $802.2 million.
Gross margin rose to 36.3 percent of sales from 33.9 percent a year ago. Inventories at quarter end stood at $436.4 million, up 35 percent from their year-ago level.
The company raised guidance for adjusted EPS for the full year to a range of between $4.20 and $4.35 from previous guidance of $3.55 to $3.70, on an adjusted basis. Revenues are now seen ending the year at about $2.13 billion, up from the previous projection of $2.11 billion. On average, analysts had expected EPS of $4.10 on revenues of $2.11 billion.
By 12:30 p.m. EST, shares had risen $11.02, or $13.1 percent, to $95.38. Earlier in the day, they hit an all-time high of $95.78.
Goldfarb noted during the call that G-III's Calvin Klein better sportswear business, despite having grown from "almost nothing to now over $150 million in five years…continues to post double-digit increases." Calvin Klein Performance, also marketed under license from PVH, is projected to be in 1,200 doors at the end of the year, up from 350 doors two years ago.
"We expect continued growth with department stores and are beginning to test distribution in sporting goods chains as potential additional growth," he said.
The ceo noted that G-III continues to explore acquisition possibilities, with interest focused on a lifestyle brand like Bass, but that it could maintain its 20 percent compound annual growth rate "at least for the next three to four years" without adding to its portfolio of owned brands. He said opportunities in areas such as handbags, sportswear and dresses could provide that level of organic growth.
For the year to date, G-III's net income rose 37.1 percent, to $88.1 million, or $4.04 a diluted share, on a 28.7 increase in sales to $1.6 billion.

Shown off at the Ceatec 2014 tech fair outside Tokyo, the lifelike humanoid robot can do Japanese sign language while lip synching to a recorded message.
The robot, which goes by the name Aiko Chihira, looks like a woman dressed in a pink blouse and white skirt. It was seated behind a desk and signing the words to a self-introduction heard over a speaker system. The android was only performing sign language for its own prerecorded statements.
Like other lifelike androids developed in Japan, it's powered by an air-servo system and an air compressor. The technology allows for smooth arm and hand gestures.
Aiko has 43 actuators, including 15 in its head for rich facial expression, according to Toshiba, which developed the machine along with Tokyo engineering company Alab and a number of Japanese universities.
The machine can currently do Japanese sign language, and will be programmed to perform American sign language (ASL) in the future. The latter is more challenging, Tokuda said, because it requires the signer to use an alphabet.
An ASL version could be exhibited at CES in January, he said, adding that camera systems and other sensors could be included in the system to enhance its sign language abilities.
Toshiba said it hopes to deploy Aiko as a receptionist robot at exhibitions next year.
Lifelike androids have been shown off at exhibitions in Japan for more than a decade, but they have yet to find commercial applications. Hiroshi Ishiguro, a roboticist at Osaka University and Advanced Telecommunications Research Institute International, recently introduced female robots called Otonaroid and Kodomoroid as the new "staff members" of a Tokyo technology museum.
None of the machines would pass a Turing Test , a measure of whether artificial intelligence can pass for a human, but Japanese developers still think that human-like robots will find useful social roles such as communication tools and household companions.

Q: Possible to keep fraction in a query? I am looking for a way to add up averages in SQL. Here is an example of the data I have:
product      avg_price
phone        104.28
car          1000.00

And I'm looking to build something like this:
product      avg_price
[all]        544.27
phone        104.28
car          1000.00

The way I'm currently doing it is to store the count and sum in two different columns, such as:
product    cnt     total
phone      203     20,304.32
car        404     304,323.30

And from that get the average. However, I was wondering if it is possible in SQL to just 'keep the fraction' and be able to add them as needed. For example:
product      avg_price
[all]        [add the fractions]
phone        20,304.32 / 203
car          304,323.30 / 404

Or do I need to use two columns in order to get an average of multiple aggregated rows?

A: You don't need 2 columns to get the average, but if you want to display as a fraction then you will need both numbers.  They don't need to be in 2 columns though.
    select product, sum(total) ||'/'||sum(count)
    from table a
        join table b on a.product=b.product
    union
    select product, total ||'/'||count
    from table a
        join table b on a.product=b.product;

Even as Washington remains gripped by the unfolding crisis in Afghanistan, Congress managed to take a big step forward on President Biden's domestic agenda.
In a rare mid-August session, the House approved a budget resolution that paves the way for consideration in the fall of a $3.5 trillion "soft" infrastructure bill that includes many of President Biden's domestic policy priorities. Although the details have yet to be worked out, the bill will likely contain provisions that provide universal pre-Kindergarten for 3- and 4-year olds, tuition-free community college, paid family and medical leave, and steps to address climate change.
Passage of the resolution was not certain until the very last minute, however, due to infighting between moderate and progressive Democrats. Progressive Democrats wanted to move ahead on the "soft" bill before taking up the Senate-passed bipartisan "hard" infrastructure bill, but a group of nine House moderate Democrats announced earlier this month that they would not vote for the resolution until the House passed the "hard" bill, essentially the opposite of the progressives' position. Because of the Democrats' narrow House majority, defections by either faction would doom the resolution. In the end, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) negotiated a deal with the moderates ensuring that the House would take up the "hard" infrastructure bill by Sept. 27, allowing Democrats to pass the budget resolution to start the process of drafting the "soft" bill.
When Congress returns to Washington after Labor Day, committees in both chambers will begin writing the details of the $3.5 trillion bill. A major potential sticking point will be how to pay for it; Democrats have said they do not want the bill to add to the federal budget deficit, but President Biden has pledged not to raise taxes on people making under $400,000 per year. That leaves tax increases on higher earners and corporations on the table; the White House has proposed raising the top marginal individual tax rate to 39.6% and the corporate tax rate from 21% to 28%.
In an effort to allay concerns that the bill will not harm small businesses, the Treasury Department said in an analysis last week that only three percent of small businesses in the country would see their taxes rise under the proposed $3.5 trillion soft infrastructure bill. Although the plan envisions an increase in the corporate tax rate paid by C corporations, very few small business organize as C corporations. According to the analysis, raising the top individual marginal tax rate to 39.6% would impact very few small businesses that organize as S corporations and partnerships. As always, the devil is in the details, and ACRA is watching the deliberations closely to understand the potential impacts on CRM firms.
Meanwhile, the National Park Service this week announced nearly $10 million in grants to assist 20 historic preservation projects, located on the campuses of Historically Black Colleges and Universities in 10 states. These grants come from the Historic Preservation Fund, which has faced increasing demand as states, tribes and communities ramp up preservation activities. The expected passage of the "hard" infrastructure bill means more projects will be coming down the pipeline, which in turn means more Sec. 106 reviews. ACRA and its allies are continuing to make the case to policymakers that an increase in funding for the Historic Preservation Fund will enable CRM firms and their partners in state and tribal historic preservation offices to complete Sec. 106 reviews in a timely manner and get infrastructure projects moving.
Support for the Historic Preservation Fund will be one of the key topics that ACRA members will bring to their Congressional representatives on ACRA's 2021 Hill Day on September 9, at the outset of the ACRA Annual Conference. As Congress debates how to shape legislation that will impact nearly every aspect of the economy, it's important for CRM professionals to make their voices heard.

Hard Rock Cafe in Dallas to close
Has Hard Rock fallen on hard times?
Author: Brian Womack, Dallas Business Journal
DALLAS — The Hard Rock Café in Dallas is readying its final set.
The restaurant is expected to close on July 31, according to a letter sent to the Texas Workforce Commission recently. The number of employees "ultimately affected" by the layoffs there will be 27.
The concept – famous for its music-inspired themes and decorations featuring memorabilia from noted artists – is located at the southern end of Victory Park at 2211 N. Houston St.
The move follows other reported closures in the U.S. The Indianapolis eatery closed in March, according to a report by Fox59. Detroit Hard Rock Café was set to close in January after a lease expires, according to WXYZ.
The Dallas location covers 8,900 square feet, featuring 265 seats and a "Rock Shop" with limited-edition merchandise. The Victory Park spot opened in 2009 after the original Dallas location — now the site of One Uptown — closed in 2007.
About five years ago, Hard Rock announced Grand Prairie would be home to Texas' first Hard Rock Hotel in conjunction with a whimsical indoor skiing development slated to open in January 2018. However, the project was tabled by the developer group in February 2015.

A few weeks ago, in the midst of the moronic and childish New York state senate standoff, I wrote on my friend Jeff Pearlman's blog that after all those shenanigans, I almost wished I was from New Jersey.
Delightfully, New Jersey has fired back with some sleaze of its own.
I almost don't know where to start on this whole New Jersey politician/rabbi/corruption story; it's almost too easy to make fun of.
If you're not aware of what happened, 44 people were arrested in New Jersey Thursday on corruption charges, involving money-laundering, bribery, and kidney-selling (yes, kidney-selling).
This baby has it all: dirty politicians, including some, like the mayor of Hoboken, who ran on "anti-corruption" platforms. Sleazy rabbis funneling money to Israel and elsewhere, and of course, body-part selling.
Now, disappointingly for writers like me, the rabbis themselves were not directly involved in the kidney-selling part, though a Jewish guy, Levy-Izhak Rosenbaum, was.
The jokes are endless with an orthodox Jew being involved: Was he unable to touch dairy after handling the kidney? Did he have to make sure no ham or pork products had been ingested by the person whose kidney he was taking?
And most excitingly, was the kidney stolen on the Sabbath? Because, you know, I'm pretty sure it says somewhere in the Torah that along with electricity and traveling in a car, organ-harvesting is also forbidden on that holy day.
Well Pete, that sounded like a hypothetical then, but now, you can get that chance! Lets' s see what it takes to get rid of him.
See, there's a reason these stereotypes exist about New Jersey, and Louisiana, and Illinois politicians. It's BECAUSE THEY"RE TRUE!
New Jersey has always had an inferiority complex about New York, and rightfully so. New York has better everything than New Jersey, except, apparently, corrupt officials.
So congratulations, New Jersey. You've once again made me proud to be a New Yorker.
And believe me, the next time I stop at the Vince Lombardi rest stop on the New Jersey Turnpike, I'll think twice before ordering the kidney bean salad.

Э́рих Ха́бицль (; 9 октября 1923, Вена — 26 сентября 2007, там же) — австрийский футболист, нападающий. Наиболее известен как игрок австрийского клуба «Адмира». Участник Олимпийских игр 1948 года.

Клубная карьера
В сезоне 1947/48 «Адмира», квалифицируясь в Кубок Австрии, дошла до финала Кубка Вены, в котором, однако, проиграла венской «Аустрии» со счётом 1:2. Единственный гол команды забил Хабицль. Через два месяца он впервые получил вызов в национальную сборную.

С результатом 23 гола в 18 матчах он стал лучшим бомбардиром чемпионата, а его команда заняла третье место в таблице. В 1954 году Хабицль согласился на переход в «Ланс», где играл вместе с известными футболистами, такими как Лукас Ауредник, Марьян Висньески и Ксерсес Луи. В течение двух сезонов он забил 22 гола и помог команде занять второе место в чемпионате 1955/56, что являлось наилучшим достижением клуба на тот момент.

Проведя следующий сезон в другом французском клубе «Нант», Хабицль вернулся в «Адмиру», за которую выступал до 1960 года. Всего в чемпионате Австрии он забил за венский клуб 165 голов в 232 матчах и до сих пор считается одним из лучших игроков в его истории.

Эрих Хабицль скончался в 2007 году в возрасте 83 лет. Похоронен в Вене на кладбище Едлезе.

Выступления за сборную
Хабицль дебютировал за национальную сборную 11 июля 1948 года в товарищеском матче против Швеции. Он забил дважды, хотя его команда в итоге проиграла со счётом 2:3. В августе того же года Хабицль принял участие в Олимпийских играх, первом крупном соревновании сборных после окончания Второй мировой войны. Однако австрийцы вылетели в первом же раунде, вновь проиграв Швеции, на этот раз со счётом 0:3.

3 апреля 1949 года Хабицль провёл свой самый известный матч за сборную. В выездной игре 6-го тура Кубка Центральной Европы против сборной Швейцарии он сделал дубль, обеспечив победу австрийцев со счётом 2:1. Он продолжал выступать за сборную до 1951 года.

Amidst all of the recent news and discussion concerning allegations, leaks, and illicit contact with Russian intelligence, I decided to set the record straight about my involvement.
I was only remotely involved back in the 1970's. The Brezhnev Soviets had invaded Czechoslovakia in 1968. The US and Soviet Union held the first Strategic Arms Limitation Talks (SALT) in 1969. And we had the Watergate and Nixon resignation going on. And I watched with great interest at the tension between the Soviet Union and the USA in the '68, '72, and '76 Olympic Games.
Now, the present hubbub has reminded me of those times. Freshly out of college I was young and easily infatuated with certain foreign relations. Having only television and newspapers to rely on, since there was no computer or email available to me, my involvement was quite limited. Of course there were telephones, telegraphs, and certain radio frequencies available, but I chose not to use them since I feared wire-tapping or other listening in by some government agency.
I only spoke about my Russian entanglement with local comrades, I mean friends. They found nothing treasonous, naughty, or immoral about it and many were equally involved.
I swear that my confession following is the full extent of my entertainment of Russian activities.
During the early 1970's I was a Physical Education teacher and coach. To earn a few extra bucks I became a women's gymnastics judge. I took a judging course and the instructor, who I shall not name, introduced me to the Russian athletic culture, which you and I now know is greatly influenced and controlled by the Russian government.
My only Russian connection was with the fabulous gymnast Ludmilla Tourischeva. I had studied and dissected all of the gymnastic events, I had international intelligence. And I knew what the goal, the perfect performance, was supposed to look like. Ludmilla, at that time, came the closest to perfection. She won 9 Olympic medals, 7 World championships, and 8 European championships. The sports world, not only gymnastics world, and not only me, loved Milla. I developed a wicked crush on her. I admit it, though she wore red, not red, white, and blue. I loved her style, grace, talent, and beauty.
If that is treason, I'm guilty. Besides, The USA wasn't very good at gymnastics in the 1970's.

Greenham Common Trust has granted £9,000 to Newbury Weekly News towards the Digital Archive Heritage Project.
Funding is needed to digitise the predominantly paper archive of the Newbury Weekly News. The archive chronicles the history of West Berkshire from 1867 onwards, covering a time of huge social and economic change, as well as massive historical significance.
Unfortunately, as the newspapers are now nearly 150 years old, they are starting to seriously decay and are in such a delicate state that they cannot be made available for members of the public to access. If they are not digitised they will eventually be lost forever as vital historical documents.
A company in Norway, highly experienced in digitising newspaper archives, has been approached and the paper is now aiming to raise the remaining £50,918 required for the project after the Trust has match funded the Newbury Weekly News' contribution of £9,000.
Once digitised, the archive would be of considerable benefit to the local community, particularly the many organisations and groups with an interest in local and family history, as well as schools and colleges.
Currently the newspaper archive is accessed either by bound hardcopy, which is heavy, unwieldy and fragile, or on microfilm using an outdated and erratic reader. There is no index and locating relevant items is a challenge. Also, photographs do not reproduce well from the poor quality microfilm.
The archive contains coverage of historical events - both local and national - in degree of detail seldom found in present-day news media. There is much to fascinate and interest scholars, historians and ordinary members of the public. By digitising the archive, local history will be preserved for the benefit of future generations.
By giving members of the public online access via the Newbury Weekly News' website www.newburytoday.co.uk, the digitised archive will be searchable and researchers will not have to be in Newbury to do so (at present they are obliged to make a visit in person to Newbury Public Library to use the public microfilms).
Many people researching their West Berkshire family history do not live locally and digitisation would enable them to access the records from wherever they are in the world.
To view the full application and to make a donation to the Digital Archive Heritage Project go to www.findmeagrant.org, choose West Berkshire, and type WB11136 into the search field. The Trust will match fund all public donations up to a total of £5,000.
