Results of the Review Election Poll
We conducted a poll of 186 Brunswick students the day before the election. What does a group of educated, wealthy, white kids in CT have to say?
Brunswick has voted. According to the official Brunswick Review poll for the 2016 election, conducted one day prior to election day, Hillary Clinton won a plurality of the popular vote with 41.4% of support from 186 respondents. Mr. Trump finished second with 30.6%, and "other," third, with 16.1% of the vote. "Other" beat out Gary Johnson, who had 10.8%, and Jill Stein, with two votes of the total.
Only in the junior class did Mr. Trump win a plurality with 18 votes to Mrs. Clinton's 15 out of 50 students. Our own Matt Restieri tied Paul Ryan in voting for the junior class with two votes each, leading Dan Bilzerian and Giant Meteor 2k16, each with one vote.
Notable "others" across all four classes include "Kyane" and "Kayne West," who each earned a vote. Frank Luntz scored one, along with Syan Shaikh, Monica Lewinsky, Bill Clinton, Vermin Supreme, Theo Epstein (praise be, praise be), and Marco Rubio, better known as Little Marco. Dan Carter, the Republican candidate for U.S. Senate from Connecticut, unfortunately, did not have much of a chance, and finished with one vote overall, tying Ken Bone, Bernie Sanders, and Joe Biden. House Speaker Paul Ryan received three votes, more than Jill Stein, who's actually running for president.
The most interesting part of this poll from a political science perspective is the fact that a traditionally conservative school - 100% male, almost entirely white and upper class - did not side with the Republican nominee. Our poll mirrors a phenomenon which has been echoed throughout the country. Mr. Trump has totally abandoned the "true conservative" coastal elites of the party in favor of the white working class. The "Brunswick" styled conservatives don't even side with Donald on his two most prominent issues: trade and immigration. So we will see on election night: has Mr. Trump's upending of the traditional partisan divide done him any good?


Gdansk is a historic old city at the northern end of Poland.
The main square is the Dlugi Targ – the "long" market – and is dominated by the magnificent Town Hall. Next to the Town Hall one finds the Neptune Fountain; Neptune is a symbol of Gdansk.
Dlugi Targ is connected to the Ulica Długa, a street lined with beautiful old buildings.


The game doesn't happen until Sunday, but the competition to keep those 112 million sets of eyeballs on the big brands paying for the party has already begun. Advertisers have been planning, writing and shooting spots for months, placing super-sized bets on their most moving commercials this year. The cost of a 30-second spot is now $5.5 million, double the price in just 2010.
Technology has raised the stakes, too. Multi-screen mobile and social sharing now demand that marketers become even more sophisticated in their holistic media strategy to maximize exposure both before and after the game. Reports show that an additional 25% to 50% (or more) of the cost of a Super Bowl ad will be spent marketing the ad itself. So it better be good.
Other than for the entertainment value, why bother talking about the commercials? I believe that to a certain extent the crop of ads every year represents a sort of cultural zeitgeist. They reflect our technological advancement, humor, style and the national mood. Of course, more ads will be released on game day, but what do the commercials say so far?
These familiar faces, songs, and voices coopt the currency of a different time and place. Two brands pull it off quite well.

There are pull-thrus, back-ins and tent sites. The pull-thrus can be a little tight for huge rigs, but there are definitely some that would fit the big ones. They are gravel, except for a few at the front that are paved and handicap accessible. There are some sites right along the Little Missouri River that are just awesome!
There are no hookups at these sites. They are first-come, first-served and self-registration. A camp host is there for the summer months.
Several bathrooms located around the loop drive. A picnic area is located adjacent to the campground. Dump station and water fill available. Visitor Center located 4 miles up road at North Unit entrance.
There is no cell service in the campground. But if you drive along the scenic drive there are a few places where you can get service.
No Wifi available at the campground. We did not try to get TV thru the air.
You are in the middle of the North Unit of Theodore Roosevelt National Park, so you are in the middle all the North Unit has to offer! The North Unit is quieter than the South Unit, and just as if not more beautiful. There is a 14 mile (28 mile round-trip) scenic drive through the park to overlooks and exhibit stations.
The South Unit is about an hour+ drive south to Medora, a fun touristy western town known for the Medora Musical and the Cowboy Museum and Hall of Fame.
The South Unit has a beautiful scenic drive loop and lots of hikes. Roosevelt's Elkhorn Ranch is another 20-30 minute drive up some dirt roads from there.
Watford City is to the north of the North Unit some 15 miles and is the closest town.
We loved staying here! We had a beautiful site on the river that was well shaded. The sunsets were spectacular, and we didn't have to go anywhere to see them.
One evening, buffalo came into the campground and hung out in the center of the loop drive. Someone spooked them and they went thundering out of the area! It was amazing.

In general, I hate camera straps. Long ago, when running to keep things moving at a wedding years ago, my dangling strap caught on a church pew and yanked a Medium Format film body out of my hand, smashing a lens, body, back and AE prism finder. Yes, I had a backup and continued as if nothing had happened. But it taught me to hate straps. In addition, since these days I shoot mostly commercial and advertising work and most often with a tripod, getting a strap off or on a camera conveniently is highly desirable.
As a result, I'm always on the lookout for a better camera strap. I've tried Black Rapids, Canon Pro Strap, various neoprene flexible straps with quick disconnect ends and more. I'm also 6'5″ and 'big" (euphemism alert), so a strap like the Black Rapid has to have additional length customized by me in order to hang at a comfortable length. The Canon CPS Pro Strap has been my current favorite, but it's not long enough, really.
Recently I stumbled into this brand new company: Peak Design. I don't recall hearing of them before, but their solutions are so slick and work so well they deserve a shout out. In fact, I'm touting their qualities here because I like them so much.
Upon first learning of them, I wrote to their customer service over a weekend and heard back that Monday, which is pretty good, assuming they're closed for weekends. They appreciated the feedback and revealed they're always listening to their clientele. I like a company that's responsive to customers and at least willing to entertain new concepts.
I ordered a Slide earlier this summer. When it arrived it was so very well made and coolly designed that I was even more impressed. As mentioned previously, I'm a big guy, so still wished for more length. Good news, the newly released Slide XL arrived yesterday and is all I'd hoped, allowing me to use the strap in many different configurations – the usual front and center or as a shoulder strap or slung across my chest like a bandolier. I especially like the bandolier option for two cameras, crisscrossing my chest.
The strap is wide – it's made from tubular car seatbelt material – and soft and very comfortable. The length adjustment buckles are smooth as possible and the piece de resistance, the quick disconnect attachments.
Another great accessory I use is the Clutch hand grip strap, something I've never before been able to find large enough to fit my huge hands. Now I have one.
Then there are the Anchor Links, accessories designed to convert your existing straps for use with the same quick release tools as the Slide and other straps available from Peak Design.
I don't usually write too much about the tools I use, but these are so great, and are Crowdsource funded, that I just had to let people know.
I'm placing photos below, courtesy of the Peak Design website, but if you want to really experience both their attitude and approach to design as well as see some of the uses and tools I haven't mentioned, go to the Peak Design link above and watch some of the videos.


Meredith Plays: Coloring Books for Grown Ups...very well played.
Coloring Books for Grown Ups...very well played.
I have become slightly obsessed with the ever-growing trend of coloring books designed exclusively with grown ups in mind.
They seem to be literally EVERYWHERE! In all of the bookstores, all over the inter webs, in news stories, everywhere!
The act of coloring not only reduces stress levels by a whole bunch (I'm very scientific), it is also an amazing way to tap into your playful side and enjoy one of childhood's biggest gifts.
The beauty of becoming an artist when you may have no artistic flair...like at all.
I hit Barnes and Noble this week with Truman and there were tables FILLED to the brim with various kinds of coloring books for big people. From zen-ish mandalas, to beautiful botanicals, and almost everything in between.
It appears grown ups have been longing for the permission to put colored pencils to paper and get their lost in some therapeutic play.
In a world of constantly clicking keys and taping screens, there is simple bliss in the feel of filling-in blank spaces on real paper with color on color on color.
If you haven't colored in far too long... NOW IS YOUR TIME!
Go, go, grab yourself some fresh fine tip markers or sharply colored pencils, and a beautiful coloring book, just for YOU. Need a little direction? Check out these five coloring books just for adults.

Home News & Politics Gender Equality in Sierra Leone is still a dream, writes Vickie Remoe on #WomensDay
Gender Equality in Sierra Leone is still a dream, writes Vickie Remoe on #WomensDay
by Vickie Remoe March 8, 2019
written by Vickie Remoe March 8, 2019 653 views
When I saw the UN #WomensDay theme, 'Think Equal, Build Smart, and Innovate for Change' I felt it was a reach for Sierra Leone. How can we innovate for gender equality and women's empowerment when access to fundamental rights eludes the majority of our women. How do we use technology to disrupt Sierra Leone's gender status quo when the majority of our women can't read or write?
Since Independence Sierra Leonean women have had fewer opportunities, and less education. They have been over-represented in the informal sector, have limited access to information and technology, and they are less likely to own land or a home. And worse yet still only a selected few have had access to power at the traditional and state level.
Sierra Leone, promises equal rights for all regardless of sex in its constitution and signed and committed to the Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action but it has not lived up to its promises of gender parity.
"The equal rights and inherent human dignity of women and men and other
purposes and principles enshrined in the Charter of the United Nations, to
the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and other international human
rights instruments, in particular the Convention on the Elimination of All
Forms of Discrimination against Women and the Convention on the Rights of
the Child, as well as the Declaration on the Elimination of Violence
against Women and the Declaration on the Right to Development;
Ensure the full implementation of the human rights of women and of the girl
child as an inalienable, integral and indivisible part of all human rights
and fundamental freedoms" – From the Beijing Declaration
Subsequent leaders have paid lip service to women's rights but maintained inequality by failing to implement laws that disrupt the patriarchal customs that leave girls and women behind. Former President Koroma promised a 30% quota for women in government but then he changed his mind. However, some progress was made in 2007 with the passing of laws that gave women the right to inheritance, outlawed domestic violence, and increased child protection. Regardless, of these measures inequality still persists, because while they provide legal protection, civic education on women's rights remain limited especially in rural communities. In addition to this, there are still some customs that are harmful to girls but continue.
Parents can consent for their underage children to marry. However, they don't do this for their 13 or 16-year-old sons, it is their daughters that they give up for early marriage. In Sierra Leone, 39% of girls are child brides before the age of 18. Instead of protecting girls from early marriage our constitution reinforces the customary rights of parents to consent for their children.
When an underage girl is married, she will have sex with her husband (although the Sexual Offences Act puts the age of consent at 18), ultimately putting her life at risk when she falls pregnant. In 2017 teenage girls accounted for 40% of all maternal deaths in Sierra Leone and yet we continue to marry off girls in the name of tradition.
Jus bicoz na so wi blant do, na so e foh lef, ivin if di tin day kill en pwel wi gyal pikin den?
Women's access to traditional power is grossly limited although a 2009 Chieftaincy Act was to have given women the right to contest for paramount chief. Sierra Leone is divided into chiefdoms and districts governed by paramount chiefs. Paramount chiefs serve in parliament, but in most of the country, women are not allowed into the chieftaincy. Legislatures created a loophole in the act that would maintain the status quo in those places that already had a history of denying women access to the chieftaincy
"A person is qualified to stand as a candidate in a paramount chieftaincy election where tradition so specifies" – 2009 Chieftaincy Act
It is only in the Southern Province and parts of the East (Kenema District) that women have customarily been allowed to contest for the chieftaincy. In the Northern, and rest of the Eastern Province women are excluded. When Elizabeth Kumba Simbiwa Sorgboh Torto tried to contest for the Paramount Chieftaincy in Kono, Eastern Province, she was told that she was not a member of the poro society (an all male secret society). When she took her case to the High Court, the court threw it out. The Human Rights Commission noted that her supporters were attacked, abused, and intimidated and the police did nothing. Sierra Leoneans only have Madame Yoko, and Ella Koblo as references for women's traditional power because only women from the South have had the right.
There is no equality when it comes to access to traditional power, and the constitution maintains this. How else will women attain equality if not by law? The 2009 Chieftaincy Act must be amended to guarantee women from the North and East have the same rights as women from the South regardless of what the tradition has been. It is the constitution that must guarantee equal access to power for women and men. And then those laws must be fully enforced fully.
Sierra Leone also fails to protect girls and women from sexual violence, specifically, female genital cutting. The Child Rights Act passed in 2007 intentionally left out a ban on FGM because politicians said it was an election year. Survivors of female genital cutting can suffer from physical and psychological trauma. The worst part about the practice of female genital cutting is that it is done while girls are very young, 40% are cut between ages 10-14 in life-threatening conditions. All this happens in the name of culture. The government despite being a signatory to many treaties and charters that call for the abolishment of harmful cultural practices allows the cutting of girls to continue.
So how do we innovate for gender equality in a country still very much governed by customs that say girls and women are not equal to boys and men?
First off women need to understand their experiences are gendered and unequal.
"If yu poh, yu noh get, yu day beyen, yu noh day rich yu potential, no say society get big pat pan dat, no to fool yu fool. Na do den do yu"
There are customary and structural powers at work that keep women poor, uneducated, underemployed, and powerless. If you're one of the few high achieving women in our society, the one-percenters, then you're lucky, but all of us need to be aware that our country gives all women less. And when we are silent about the lack of representation and opportunity for all women, we become complicit in our own oppression. We must think equal, believe in equality, and demand exclusivity at all times.
We must innovate for change, and in the case of Sierra Leone, that means speaking up for equal rights for women. Too many men in the room? From the paramount chieftaincy to State House, to our colleges, and workplaces women need to think equal and demand to always be at the table.
"Ow dis tin go wok foh all man en uman benefit, if uman den noh involve day?"
Women must use their voices to call out, use our right to assemble and protest against the government; the legislature, executive, and the judiciary, when they fail to keep the constitution's promise of gender equality.
Women must challenge and disrupt gender norms that try to limit what we can do. When they say you shouldn't because you're a woman, you do it anyway. In the face of inequality, women can build smart by forming partnerships to collaborate with other women pressing for progress. Women must be the drivers of social change; develop solutions and businesses that can empower and uplift other women. The more women we, the stronger our capacity to balance better.
Finally, Sierra Leonean women must tell their stories; the bad to demonstrate how the government and society holds us back, and the good to show how in spite of the barriers women build smart by creating new spaces to occupy in society.
On this Women's Day, women in Sierra Leone women must know that they have a right to equality, and they have a right to be more, to have more, and to do more than our country allows us to. Women also must demand that the government makes good on the promise of equality espoused in the Constitution.

Nats' ETS costs motorists up to $112m a year
Tuesday, 3 June 2014, 12:23 pm
Press Release: Green Party
The National Government's Emissions Trading Scheme (ETS) costs motorists $25-$112 million per year, but they get nothing back, Green Party Co-leader Dr Russel Norman said today.
Motorists have been paying between 2.2 cents and half a cent per litre on petrol as a cost of the ETS. Nationally, that amounts to between $25 million and $112 million a year.
"Motorists are paying tens of millions a year under National's ETS but where is the money going? It's certainly not being recycled back to households and businesses as it is under the Greens' Climate Tax Cut," Dr Norman said.
"This is the difference between National's ETS and the Greens' Climate Tax Cut.
"Under National, the money is siphoned off to traders and polluters. Under the Greens, all the revenue is recycled into tax cuts for households and businesses.
"Figures for the first four years of the ETS show carbon emissions have actually risen 20 percent and they show no sign of falling. That's an indictment of the scheme's failure.
"Under the Green Party's Climate Tax Cut plan announced on Sunday, all households will be better off. There will be some increased costs in dairy products, power and petrol prices, but all revenue raised by the Carbon Tax will be returned to households and businesses in the form of tax cuts.
"The ETS has allowed some businesses to actually profit from carbon emissions by gaming the scheme and emissions have actually increased since the scheme was introduced.
"Under the Greens' scheme, the average household's costs will increase by around $101 a year, of which about half will be petrol costs, but they will get tax cuts of $420 a year, making the average household a net $319 a year better off.
"That is the beauty of this plan. It is a win-win for households and the climate. We are installing a price signal to encourage businesses and consumers away from carbon emitting activities but making people better off. If consumers and businesses heed the price of signal by reducing their dependence of fossils fuels and the like, they can be even better off.
"Climate change is the most challenging issue of our time. How we respond to it will define the kind of future our children inherit.
"The Green Party's plan will future-proof our economy and put New Zealand firmly back in the global green race, all while leaving households better off," Dr Norman said.

Senran Kagura Producer: 'We've Stopped Putting in Sexual Content with No Narrative Reason'
posted on 2018-12-06 13:45 EST by Kim Morrissy
Takaki mentions increased international scrutiny due to Tokyo 2020 Olympics
Senran Kagura series producer Kenichirō Takaki was featured in an interview with pop culture website Akiba-Souken on Saturday. He shared his thoughts on the sexual depictions in the currently airing Senran Kagura Shinovi Master TV anime series, which he has been writing scripts for.
Takaki said that across all the Senran Kagura media, the teams have "stopped putting in sexual content with no narrative reason." Whenever something sexual happens in Senran Kagura , there needs to be a narrative explanation for it. Characters should no longer just strip or look up each other's skirts "for some vague reason."
Takaki further stated that he wants the stories to properly convey character growth and have serious elements that co-exist with humorous elements. The anime has a heavy focus on action for this reason. However, he also admitted that sometimes the logic behind the fanservice scenes can't be fully explained and viewers should take it in stride.
Takaki also mentioned that, because of increasing international scrutiny due to the upcoming Tokyo Olympics, it has been getting harder to push the envelope with sexual content in both the games and anime. Games website Siliconera translated a small excerpt of the interview as follows: "Lately, regulations regarding sexual depictions have become more strict around the world, and for this reason, we need to make sure there isn't any misunderstandings in what we make. There are some parts that are difficult to work with, likely more so than we've ever experienced."
Takaki does not appear to think that sexual content is doomed, however. "There are people that want to see [sexual content], and there are people like us who want to make such games, so I'd like to think of a way for us to slip our way through."
Crunchyroll is streaming both the censored and uncensored versions of Senran Kagura Shinovi Master . (The uncensored version is not available for free members.) The English release of the Senran Kagura Burst Re:Newal game was recently delayed to remove the "intimacy mode" from the PS4 version. The Steam version will still include the mode.

After enjoying massive success with his 2015 hit indie film Tangerine, Sean Baker is back with "The Florida Project." Set in the ever colorful city of Orlando, the film follows a 6-year-old girl and her two best friends as they roam around a motel on the edge of Disney World.

Call Me by Your Name, inspired by the novel of the same name, is set on the coast of northern Italy during the 1980's. The film tells the story of an American grad student spending the summer abroad at an academic family's charming villa. However, his stay takes a turn for the unexpected when he starts falling for Elio, the family's youngest disciple. Artie Hammer and Timothe Chalamett bring to life this tale of romance, love, and passion. Luca Guadagnino's follow-up to 2015's A Bigger Splash is a moving masterpiece that's inspiring and full of wisdom.

Weekend Energy Preview 10-22
Here's what's in the mix for this Saturday night's Weekend Energy. This week's show is so alarming, it's like stumbling upon an identical version of yourself emerging from a giant disgusting pod, emotionless and devoid of personality. Only to realize that you're amidst a sophisticated extraterrestrial invasion, but no one believes you as you run into oncoming traffic, warning everyone of their inevitable demise.

Sneaky Sound System – Big – Sneaky Sound System is one of my guiltiest musical pleasures. This Australian electropop band is vastly… vastly… underrated. They've just released their third album and for some reason have hardly any exposure. Their music isn't complicated, it isn't underground or even particularly indie. On the contrary, their music is the most mainstream thing I've ever heard – way way way way way off the mainstream track. It's extremely catchy, trendy, sing-a-longable, top-of-the-line vocals by Connie Mitchell, great lyrics, cool music videos, and a gazillion music awards. Their debut album from 2006 still ranks among my all-time-favorites in terms of every song (or nearly every song) being a total success. Their new album From Here to Anywhere already has two singles. I played We Love a couple weeks ago and this week I feature their second single, Big, which has a really great 90's retro vibe, and lyrics that sound 70% uplifting and 30% desperate. Check out the 100% awesome music video.
Ill Saint M – Carnation – See this week's "Discovery" below.
Penguin Prison – A Funny Thing – He's finally done it. He's finally put out a full-length album. I've been following Penguin Prison for years on blogs, catching various single releases and remixes along the way. Scrolling through the tracklist to his self-titled LP debut, I recognize A Funny Thing, Golden Train, Something I'm Not, The Worse It Gets, and Fair Warning – all great songs. Also the best song I'll never be able to play on the radio: Don't F.ck With My Money. I recommend checking out his remix of Ellie Goulding's Starry Eyed, Jamiroquai's White Knuckle Ride, and Marina & The Diamonds' I Am Not A Robot. Here's a great acoustic version of Penguin Prison performing A Funny Thing.
Kidda – Wanna Be Loved- Here's a song from 2009 that just crept back in the list and we will all be much better people as a result. I thought it'd be fun to end the show on a positive note. Look no further than the work by Kidda, whose songs remain some of the most sickeningly uplifting tunes I can think of. Special stand-outs include Feel Too Good, Strong Together, and Under The Sun. This song will get stuck in your head and you'll be singing along to it all week freaking out everyone around you. Unless you have no soul this will make you feel happy.
Ill Saint M
I was looking for a great opener for this week, after using up many of the ones I had for next week's Halloween mix (which will be extremely sick btw). I came across the EP "Carnation" by Ill Saint M and… was… floored. The title track opens up this week's show like a bouquet of flowers containing live active grenades. It's got a nice slow rising build that bursts into a total rage with a super catchy beat. Despite its title, it's not very flowery – pretty basic. But that's what makes it so great. No-frills, no-holds-barred, massive tune that will have you pressing repeat over and over. His other original release on the EP is titled "I'm Another," which is a whole different monster entirely. Lots of diverse sounds happening at once, with a similar rhythmic backbone to Carnation. It's an aural onslaught that is just dissonant enough to be melodic – my favorite place to be musically. The rest of the tracks are remixes by some great artists like Hostage, F.O.O.L. and Gooseflesh. I'm a fan of the Hostage remix, but I'm much more excited by the work of Ill Saint M and hope to hear much more in the months and years ahead.
Do yourself a favor and listen to this right now:
Almost Made It
Fatboy Slim & Moguai
It's been a long long time since Fatboy Slim had a total monopoly over awesome backbreaking beats. There's no question The Rockafeller Skank drew an unquantifiable interest in electronic music. It was most certainly one of my first exposures to the genre – along with Daft Punk, Prodigy, The Chemical Brothers, and Basement Jaxx – just mainstream enough to draw interest, but still unabashedly cool. I think the "most recent" song of Fatboy Slim's I've played is "That Old Pair of Jeans" from 2006 – and that was maybe back in 2008. His new single "Machines Can Do The Work" with Herve is okay but not great, not very memorable. Moguai's remix of the 2001 track Ya Mama, however, will blow you away. I've picked up the six minute version and it's absolute madness. It puts the original mix on big house hyper-speed while capturing the repetitive charm that Fatboy Slim so incredibly succeeded in crafting.
Second Hour Rewind
The second hour rewind is the previous week's first hour. Featured artists include 33Hz, The Gossip, F.ck Art Let's Dance, Porter Robinson, Passion Pit, Miike Snow and more! It occurs to me that I play Passion Pit quite frequently on Weekend Energy – not too long ago featured To Kingdom Come and Little Secrets. And in this week's second hour rewind, I've got a really great remix of The Reeling (by Miike Snow). Something about this song is endlessly captivating to me. Maybe it's the deeply melancoly lyrics, maybe it's the incredible falsetto vocals, maybe it's the rousing background chorus, heck just listen to it and you'll be hooked. It's one of those rare – dare I say – 'perfect' songs. Their album Manners features all of these songs and it's a superb listening experience destined for continuous repeat play.
"Crank up your stereo, bust out the strobe light and kick up the bass."
Weekend Energy has been blowing out car stereo systems, upsetting the neighbors and enhancing the night life of western Kentucky every weekend since July 2007 on WKMS. Host Matt "McG" Markgraf pours through hundreds of songs each week to create "the loudest show on public radio" featuring the best techno, dance and electronica from around the world. Weekend Energy airs Saturdays on 91.3 WKMS from 11 p.m. to 1 a.m. Stream it live on wkms.org Saturday nights.

Look for the signals in the noise
Crowded party
Lots of cyberbabble
Tough to stand out
This was the second assignment for a British client. They were investors in a managed cybersecurity service that was being carved out of a company with a large portfolio of IT support services.
Our client was the founder and CEO. He knew the territory and was creating and testing the offering as we were developing the proposition and the brand. So it was a bit of an unusual process, one that allowed us to use the personality and values of the founder as a kind of proxy in forging the identity of the company.
Think like the bad guys
We are not here to scare you
We always want to know, what is the smartest way to think about the problem? This was an internet security monitoring service — a very limited offering. Essentially a bunch of very smart scruffy engineers sitting in a darkened room with a big red kill switch, watching your network traffic like hawks.
There was an underlying honesty to the story that was very refreshing. They basically are here to stop bad things from happening. The way they accomplish that is to think like the bad guys. So we positioned them as professional worriers. But unlike most worriers, they actually knew quite a bit about what they were worrying about. You might think about them as a cross between Black Ops and your mother.
There was a lot of humanity to the story, but when it came to the naming, we definitely did not want to be cute or clever. We knew we wanted to stay as far away from security industry clichés as possible. So we spent some time on the dark side, exploring names with some mystery, where something was hidden.
The name we finally landed on was Stega, which in Greek means "covered, concealed or protected." There is even a more apt derivative called "steganography," which is the practice of hiding messages within other messages. And a stegosaurus is a covered lizard. All of these subterranean meanings were quite delicious ingredients for the name of a company devoted to detecting the signals in the noise.

Her ex-husband "can barely contain his anger" even now.
Thanks to Princess Diana's biographer, Andrew Morton, a new book all about Meghan Markle, called Meghan: A Hollywood Princess, is due to be released on April 17.
While the unofficial biography contains a number of revelations, the most shocking has to be the way that Markle left her first husband, movie producer, Trevor Engelson.
Morton reveals that Markle and Engelson met in a Hollywood bar, and that the producer helped her get a small part in the Robert Pattinson movie, Remember Me.
In an excerpt from Morton's new book, published in The Sunday Times, the writer reveals that Engelson made a big impression on Markle when they first met in 2004. At the time, she was a struggling actress, and at "More than 6ft tall, with reddish blond hair and blue eyes, Trevor Engelson had the air of a Matthew McConaughey-lite." Interesting.
Engelson was also, apparently, extremely positive, and told Markle, "Hope is the greatest currency we have in this business." His lame pick-up line worked, and the pair began dating.
However, their relationship experienced problems early on. Engelson was apparently working on the 2007 movie License to Wed, starring Mandy Moore and John Krasinski. According to Morton, "Meghan secretly hoped there would be a role for her. It was to become a source of conflict for the couple, with Meghan disappointed that Trevor didn't try harder to include her in some of his productions."
Markle and Engelson got married in 2011, but they divorced just two years later in 2013. While Markle had relocated to Toronto for Suits, Engelson stayed in Los Angeles. The distance made their marriage more challenging.
"Trevor went from cherishing Meghan to, as one friend observed, 'feeling like he was a piece of something stuck to the bottom of her shoe.' A wealthy entrepreneur friend claimed the marriage ended so abruptly that Meghan sent her wedding and engagement rings back to Trevor by registered post. Another confirmed that the decision to end the marriage was made by Meghan and that it had come 'totally out of the blue.'"
Apparently, Engelson "can barely contain his anger" about the brutal situation even now.
According to Morton, "She was her own woman now, earning a steady income, making new friends on-set and off, no longer dependent on her husband's connections."

Another ethical controversy associated with search marketing has been the issue of trademark infringement. The debate as to whether third parties should have the right to bid on their competitors' brand names has been underway for years. In 2009 Google changed their policy, which formerly prohibited these tactics, allowing 3rd parties to bid on branded terms as long as their landing page in fact provides information on the trademarked term.[27] Though the policy has been changed this continues to be a source of heated debate.[28]
Facebook had an estimated 144.27 million views in 2016, approximately 12.9 million per month.[109] Despite this high volume of traffic, very little has been done to protect the millions of users who log on to Facebook and other social media platforms each month. President Barack Obama tried to work with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) to attempt to regulate data mining. He proposed the Privacy Bill of Rights, which would protect the average user from having their private information downloaded and shared with third party companies. The proposed laws would give the consumer more control over what information companies can collect.[107] President Obama was unable to pass most of these laws through congress, and it is unsure what President Trump will do with regards to social media marketing ethics.
SEO may generate an adequate return on investment. However, search engines are not paid for organic search traffic, their algorithms change, and there are no guarantees of continued referrals. Due to this lack of guarantees and certainty, a business that relies heavily on search engine traffic can suffer major losses if the search engines stop sending visitors.[61] Search engines can change their algorithms, impacting a website's placement, possibly resulting in a serious loss of traffic. According to Google's CEO, Eric Schmidt, in 2010, Google made over 500 algorithm changes – almost 1.5 per day.[62] It is considered a wise business practice for website operators to liberate themselves from dependence on search engine traffic.[63] In addition to accessibility in terms of web crawlers (addressed above), user web accessibility has become increasingly important for SEO.
Look at your short- and long-term goals to choose whether to focus on organic or paid search (or both). It takes time to improve your organic search rankings, but you can launch a paid search campaign tomorrow. However, there are other considerations: the amount of traffic you need, your budget, and your marketing objectives. Once you've reviewed the pros and cons, you can select the search strategy that's right for you.
While most of the links to your site will be added gradually, as people discover your content through search or other ways and link to it, Google understands that you'd like to let others know about the hard work you've put into your content. Effectively promoting your new content will lead to faster discovery by those who are interested in the same subject. As with most points covered in this document, taking these recommendations to an extreme could actually harm the reputation of your site.
In March 2006, KinderStart filed a lawsuit against Google over search engine rankings. KinderStart's website was removed from Google's index prior to the lawsuit, and the amount of traffic to the site dropped by 70%. On March 16, 2007, the United States District Court for the Northern District of California (San Jose Division) dismissed KinderStart's complaint without leave to amend, and partially granted Google's motion for Rule 11 sanctions against KinderStart's attorney, requiring him to pay part of Google's legal expenses.[70][71]
In 2013, the Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals held in Lens.com, Inc. v. 1-800 Contacts, Inc. that online contact lens seller Lens.com did not commit trademark infringement when it purchased search advertisements using competitor 1-800 Contacts' federally registered 1800 CONTACTS trademark as a keyword. In August 2016, the Federal Trade Commission filed an administrative complaint against 1-800 Contacts alleging, among other things, that its trademark enforcement practices in the search engine marketing space have unreasonably restrained competition in violation of the FTC Act. 1-800 Contacts has denied all wrongdoing and is scheduled to appear before an FTC administrative law judge in April 2017.[29]

Social media marketing provides organizations with a way to connect with their customers. However, organizations must protect their information as well as closely watch comments and concerns on the social media they use. A flash poll done on 1225 IT executives from 33 countries revealed that social media mishaps caused organizations a combined $4.3 million in damages in 2010.[93] The top three social media incidents an organization faced during the previous year included employees sharing too much information in public forums, loss or exposure of confidential information, and increased exposure to litigation.[93] Due to the viral nature of the Internet, a mistake by a single employee has in some cases shown to result in devastating consequences for organizations. An example of a social media mishap includes designer Kenneth Cole's Twitter mishap in 2011. When Kenneth Cole tweeted, "Millions are in uproar in #Cairo. Rumor has they heard our new spring collection is now available online at [Kenneth Cole's website]".[94] This reference to the 2011 Egyptian revolution drew an objection from the public; it was widely objected to on the Internet.[94] Kenneth Cole realized his mistake shortly after and responded with a statement apologizing for the tweet.[95]
You should build a website to benefit your users, and any optimization should be geared toward making the user experience better. One of those users is a search engine, which helps other users discover your content. Search Engine Optimization is about helping search engines understand and present content. Your site may be smaller or larger than our example site and offer vastly different content, but the optimization topics we discuss below should apply to sites of all sizes and types. We hope our guide gives you some fresh ideas on how to improve your website, and we'd love to hear your questions, feedback, and success stories in the Google Webmaster Help Forum1.
Yelp consists of a comprehensive online index of business profiles. Businesses are searchable by location, similar to Yellow Pages. The website is operational in seven different countries, including the United States and Canada. Business account holders are allowed to create, share, and edit business profiles. They may post information such as the business location, contact information, pictures, and service information. The website further allows individuals to write, post reviews about businesses, and rate them on a five-point scale. Messaging and talk features are further made available for general members of the website, serving to guide thoughts and opinions.[49]
Back end tools, including Web analytic tools and HTML validators, provide data on a website and its visitors and allow the success of a website to be measured. They range from simple traffic counters to tools that work with log files and to more sophisticated tools that are based on page tagging (putting JavaScript or an image on a page to track actions). These tools can deliver conversion-related information. There are three major tools used by EBSCO: (a) log file analyzing tool: WebTrends by NetiQ; (b) tag-based analytic tool: WebSideStory's Hitbox; and (c) transaction-based tool: TeaLeaf RealiTea. Validators check the invisible parts of websites, highlighting potential problems and many usability issues and ensuring websites meet W3C code standards. Try to use more than one HTML validator or spider simulator because each one tests, highlights, and reports on slightly different aspects of your website.
Facebook Ads and other social media ad platforms, for example, are pay-per-click platforms that do not fall under the SEM category. Instead of showing your ads to people who are searching for similar content like search ads do, social media sites introduce your product to people who happen to be just browsing through their feeds. These are two very, very different types of online advertising.
You can confer some of your site's reputation to another site when your site links to it. Sometimes users can take advantage of this by adding links to their own site in your comment sections or message boards. Or sometimes you might mention a site in a negative way and don't want to confer any of your reputation upon it. For example, imagine that you're writing a blog post on the topic of comment spamming and you want to call out a site that recently comment spammed your blog. You want to warn others of the site, so you include the link to it in your content; however, you certainly don't want to give the site some of your reputation from your link. This would be a good time to use nofollow.
Social media itself is a catch-all term for sites that may provide radically different social actions. For instance, Twitter is a social site designed to let people share short messages or "updates" with others. Facebook, in contrast is a full-blown social networking site that allows for sharing updates, photos, joining events and a variety of other activities.

With the development of this system, the price is growing under the high level of competition. Many advertisers prefer to expand their activities, including increasing search engines and adding more keywords. The more advertisers are willing to pay for clicks, the higher the ranking for advertising, which leads to higher traffic.[15] PPC comes at a cost. The higher position is likely to cost $5 for a given keyword, and $4.50 for a third location. A third advertiser earns 10% less than the top advertiser, while reducing traffic by 50%.[15] The investors must consider their return on investment and then determine whether the increase in traffic is worth the increase.
Many brands are now heavily using this mobile app to boost their marketing strategy. Instagram can be used to gain the necessary momentum needed to capture the attention of the market segment that has an interest in the product offering or services.[54] As Instagram is supported by Apple and android system, it can be easily accessed by smartphone users. Moreover, it can be accessed by the Internet as well. Thus, the marketers see it as a potential platform to expand their brands exposure to the public, especially the younger target group. On top of this, marketers do not only use social media for traditional Internet advertising, but they also encourage users to create attention for a certain brand. This generally creates an opportunity for greater brand exposure.[55] Furthermore, marketers are also using the platform to drive social shopping and inspire people to collect and share pictures of their favorite products. Many big names have already jumped on board: Starbucks, MTV, Nike, Marc Jacobs, and Red Bull are a few examples of multinationals that adopted the mobile photo app early. Fashion blogger Danielle Bernstein, who goes by @weworewhat on Instagram, collaborated with Harper's Bazaar to do a piece on how brands are using Instagram to market their products, and how bloggers make money from it. Bernstein, who currently has one and a half million followers on Instagram, and whose "outfit of the day" photos on Snapchat get tens of thousands of screenshots, explained that for a lot of her sponsored posts, she must feature the brand in a certain number of posts, and often cannot wear a competitor's product in the same picture. According to Harper's Bazaar, industry estimates say that brands are spending more than $1 billion per year on consumer-generated advertising.[56] Founder of Instagram Kevin Systrom even went to Paris Fashion week, going to couture shows and meeting with designers to learn more about how style bloggers, editors, and designers are currently dominating much of the content on his application.[57]
A navigational page is a simple page on your site that displays the structure of your website, and usually consists of a hierarchical listing of the pages on your site. Visitors may visit this page if they are having problems finding pages on your site. While search engines will also visit this page, getting good crawl coverage of the pages on your site, it's mainly aimed at human visitors.
In 2012 during Hurricane Sandy, Gap sent out a tweet to its followers telling them to stay safe but encouraged them to shop online and offered free shipping. The tweet was deemed insensitive, and Gap eventually took it down and apologized.[96] Numerous additional online marketing mishap examples exist. Examples include a YouTube video of a Domino's Pizza employee violating health code standards, which went viral on the Internet and later resulted in felony charges against two employees.[93][97] A Twitter hashtag posted by McDonald's in 2012 attracting attention due to numerous complaints and negative events customers experienced at the chain store; and a 2011 tweet posted by a Chrysler Group employee that no one in Detroit knows how to drive.[98] When the Link REIT opened a Facebook page to recommend old-style restaurants, the page was flooded by furious comments criticizing the REIT for having forced a lot of restaurants and stores to shut down; it had to terminate its campaign early amid further deterioration of its corporate image.[99]
There's no denying that a lot of social media is a matter of trial-and-error. Monitoring the metrics behind your campaigns in real-time allows you to make small tweaks to your social media marketing strategy rather than sweeping, time-consuming changes. This dynamic approach to marketing makes perfect sense in a day and age where social media is constantly evolving.
Several customers are turning towards social media to express their appreciation or frustration with brands, product or services. Therefore, marketers can measure the frequency of which customers are discussing their brand and judge how effective their SMM strategies are. In recent studies, 72% of people surveyed expressed that they expected a response to their complaints on Twitter within an hour.[111]
YouTube is another popular avenue; advertisements are done in a way to suit the target audience. The type of language used in the commercials and the ideas used to promote the product reflect the audience's style and taste. Also, the ads on this platform are usually in sync with the content of the video requested, this is another advantage YouTube brings for advertisers. Certain ads are presented with certain videos since the content is relevant. Promotional opportunities such as sponsoring a video is also possible on YouTube, "for example, a user who searches for a YouTube video on dog training may be presented with a sponsored video from a dog toy company in results along with other videos."[61] YouTube also enable publishers to earn money through its YouTube Partner Program. Companies can pay YouTube for a special "channel" which promotes the companies products or services.
Disney/Pixar's Monsters University: Created a Tumblr account, MUGrumblr, saying that the account is maintained by a 'Monstropolis transplant' and 'self-diagnosed coffee addict' who is currently a sophomore at Monsters University.[73] A "student" from Monsters University uploaded memes, animated GIFs, and Instagram-like photos that are related to the sequel movie.
We love paid social advertising because it's a highly cost-effective way to expand your reach. If you play your cards right, you can get your content and offers in front of a huge audience at a very low cost. Most social media platforms offer incredibly granular targeting capabilities, allowing you to focus your budget on exactly the types of people that are most likely to be interested in your business. Below are some tips and resources for getting started with paid social media marketing:
Having a different description meta tag for each page helps both users and Google, especially in searches where users may bring up multiple pages on your domain (for example, searches using the site: operator). If your site has thousands or even millions of pages, hand-crafting description meta tags probably isn't feasible. In this case, you could automatically generate description meta tags based on each page's content.
Social networks are, in many cases, viewed as a great tool for avoiding costly market research. They are known for providing a short, fast, and direct way to reach an audience through a person who is widely known. For example, an athlete who gets endorsed by a sporting goods company also brings their support base of millions of people who are interested in what they do or how they play and now they want to be a part of this athlete through their endorsements with that particular company. At one point consumers would visit stores to view their products with famous athletes, but now you can view a famous athlete's, such as Cristiano Ronaldo, latest apparel online with the click of a button. He advertises them to you directly through his Twitter, Instagram, and FaceBook accounts.
In May 2014, Instagram had over 200 million users. The user engagement rate of Instagram was 15 times higher than of Facebook and 25 times higher than that of Twitter.[50] According to Scott Galloway, the founder of L2 and a professor of marketing at New York University's Stern School of Business, latest studies estimate that 93% of prestige brands have an active presence on Instagram and include it in their marketing mix.[51] When it comes to brands and businesses, Instagram's goal is to help companies to reach their respective audiences through captivating imagery in a rich, visual environment.[52] Moreover, Instagram provides a platform where user and company can communicate publicly and directly, making itself an ideal platform for companies to connect with their current and potential customers.[53]
These posts can be one or more of the following: images, photo sets, animated GIFs, video, audio, and text posts. For the users to differentiate the promoted posts to the regular users' posts, the promoted posts have a dollar symbol on the corner. On May 6, 2014, Tumblr announced customization and theming on mobile apps for brands to advertise.[72]
A variety of methods can increase the prominence of a webpage within the search results. Cross linking between pages of the same website to provide more links to important pages may improve its visibility.[48] Writing content that includes frequently searched keyword phrase, so as to be relevant to a wide variety of search queries will tend to increase traffic.[48] Updating content so as to keep search engines crawling back frequently can give additional weight to a site. Adding relevant keywords to a web page's metadata, including the title tag and meta description, will tend to improve the relevancy of a site's search listings, thus increasing traffic. URL canonicalization of web pages accessible via multiple URLs, using the canonical link element[49] or via 301 redirects can help make sure links to different versions of the URL all count towards the page's link popularity score.


A good friend shared this song with the iFast58 group this morning and I want to share it here. I remember first hearing Fernando Ortega's version in college. This was a popular worship song during the Welsh Revival. Apparantly folks would sing it spontaneously, over and over as the Spirit would move. God has used it mightily in my life and I pray it will be an encouragement to you.
He can take a little picture of a boy whose face is sitting in a file and set his lonely heart in a family.
He can provide funds for a generator… and all the other things that need to happen to get an organization running.
He can turn hearts of those you haven't even met with yet.
He can heal the sick, the broken, the tired and weary.
He can bind the hearts of people who live nowhere near each other and use those people for His purpose.
Oh, how He loves us… aren't you glad?!?!
The other day I posted the Daraja Children's Choir performing 'God of this City.' Here is another version of the song Hiphop/Christian contemporary style. I love the diversity! I'm not sure this will be the style of worship in heaven but it's a step towards that in my mind!

The federal Constitution neither grants nor forbids to the governor of a state the right to stay the execution of a sentence of death.
The question whether, under a state statute, a convicted party has a year in which to file a motion for a new trial, and that therefore no sentence can be executed on him until that time, is a question to be determined by the courts of the state.
The Treaty of February 16, 1871, between the United States and Italy only requires equality of treatment, and that the same rights and privileges be accorded to a citizen of Italy that are given to a citizen of the United States under like circumstances, and there is nothing in the petition tending to show such lack of equality.
"the court or justice or judge shall proceed in a summary way to determine the facts of the case by hearing the testimony and arguments, and thereupon to dispose of the party as law and justice require,"
and this mandate is applicable to this Court, whether exercising original or appellate jurisdiction.
On May 23, 1901, the appellant filed in the Circuit Court of the United States for the District of Massachusetts his petition in habeas corpus.
from such denial he forthwith claimed and was allowed an appeal to the Supreme Court of the United States, and that such appeal was there pending and undetermined. The petition further stated that, on May 10, he filed in the Superior Court for the County of Suffolk a motion for a new trial, in accordance with the provisions of the Massachusetts statutes, which motion was still pending and undetermined.
to the courts of justice, in order to maintain and defend their own rights, without any other conditions, restrictions, or taxes than such as are imposed upon the natives. They shall therefore be free to employ, in defense of their rights, such advocates, solicitors, notaries, agents, and factors as they may judge proper, in all their trials at law, and such citizens or agents shall have free opportunity to be present at the decisions and sentences of the tribunals in all cases which may concern them, and likewise at the taking of all examinations and evidences which may be exhibited in the said trials;"
as are or shall be granted to the natives, on their submitting themselves to the conditions imposed upon the natives."
On the presentation of this petition to the circuit court, that court dismissed the same for want of jurisdiction, without prejudice to an application to the courts of the state. In re Storti, 109 F. 807. A certificate of this fact was signed by the circuit judge, and from the order dismissing the petition, an appeal was taken to this Court.
"applications for the writ have been made, and appeals taken from refusals to grant it, quite destitute of meritorious grounds, and operating only to delay the administration of justice."
It is an attempt to substitute a writ of habeas corpus for a writ of error, and to review the proceedings in a criminal case in the state court by such collateral attack, rather than by direct proceedings in error -- something which this Court has repeatedly said ought seldom to be done. See, among other cases, Baker v. Grice, 169 U. S. 284; Tinsley v. Anderson, 171 U. S. 101, 171 U. S. 104, and cases cited in the opinion; Markuson v. Boucher, 175 U. S. 184; Minnesota v. Brundage, 180 U. S. 499.
in conflict with the federal Constitution or the treaty with Italy.
Some of the matters presented involve only the construction of state statutes and should be determined by the courts of the state, whose determination in respect thereto is binding upon this Court. It must be borne in mind that, under section 763 of the Revised Statutes, the jurisdiction of the federal court to issue a writ of habeas corpus is limited to "the case of any person alleged to be restrained of his liberty in violation of the Constitution, or of any law or treaty of the United States," and to cases arising under the laws of nations.
With these considerations in mind we pass to notice more particularly the matters set forth in the petition. It is stated that the petitioner was sentenced to be put to death at a given time; that he was not then put to death on account of a respite granted by the governor, and that such respite was unlawfully granted. Wherein the unlawfulness consisted is not stated, and whether it were lawful or not is a matter dependent on the laws of the state, and to be determined by its courts. The federal Constitution neither grants nor forbids to the governor of a state the right to stay the execution of a sentence. So also, it is said that, under the Massachusetts statutes, the party convicted has a year in which to file a motion for a new trial, and therefore no sentence can be executed on him until that time. Whether that be so or not is also a question depending on the statutes of the state, and to be determined by its courts. The state may see fit to postpone the execution of a capital sentence for a year, or provide that it shall be carried into effect more speedily, and what the state has provided in the matter is for its courts to decide.
such equality of treatment. The petition therefore is plainly without merit.
But the principal contention of counsel is that the petition was dismissed by the circuit court for want of jurisdiction and a certificate thereof given, and that, under section 5 of the Act of March 3, 1891, 26 Stat. 827, c. 517, the only question that we can consider is one of jurisdiction, and the following cases are referred to: Horner v. United States, 143 U. S. 570; Chappell v. United States, 160 U. S. 499; Press Publishing Company v. Monroe, 164 U. S. 105, and Huntington v. Laidley, 176 U. S. 668.
That mandate is applicable to this Court, whether it is exercising its original or appellate jurisdiction. Proceedings in habeas corpus are to be disposed of in a summary way. The interests of both the public and the petitioner require promptness; that, if he is unlawfully restrained of his liberty, it may be given to him as speedily as possible; that, if not, all having anything to do with his restraint be advised thereof, and the mind of the public be put at rest, and also that, if further action is to be taken in the matter, it may be taken without delay. Especially is this true when the habeas corpus proceedings are had in the courts of a jurisdiction different from that in pursuance of whose mandate he is detained. This matter of promptness is not peculiar to these cases in federal courts, but is the general rule which obtains wherever the common law is in force. It is one of those things which give to such proceedings their special value, and is enforced by statutory provisions, both state and federal. The command of the section is "to dispose of the party as law and justice require." All the freedom of equity procedure is thus prescribed, and substantial justice, promptly administered, is ever the rule in habeas corpus.
The judgment is affirmed, and it is further ordered that the mandate issue at once.

Amnesty International has responded to a statement from Google co-founder Sergey Brin that the company had compromised its principles by launching a censored search engine in China.
"It would be a very welcome first step if Google did change its policy towards censorship in China.
"Companies like Google, Yahoo and Microsoft have massively compromised their principles while trying to carve out a slice of the lucrative Chinese market.
"These companies have made vast fortunes from the free access to information that the internet can provide – now they're taking it away at the behest of the Chinese authorities.
Amnesty International recently launched a new campaign, irrepressible.info , to challenge repression on the internet.
The new campaign highlights the rise of internet censorship and the role of multinational companies colluding with governments in restricting people's right to freedom of expression and information on the net. It also highlights the cases of individual prisoners of conscience, imprisoned for the peaceful expression of their beliefs online.
The campaign launched on May 28 with a new website http://irrepressible.info/ enabling people to join the campaign by signing a simple pledge opposing internet repression. Already twenty thousand online pledges have been collected, calling on all governments and companies to respect internet freedom. These will be presented to a UN meeting on the future of the internet in November 2006. The site also enables web users to email governments and companies, calling for an end to internet repression.


This is the holy grail of character meals since it actually takes place inside Cinderella Castle where there's a capacity of less than 200. The famous royal resident always appears (sometimes joined by her soul sisters Jasmine, Aurora, Snow White, and others), and little girls far and wide dress up like princesses to meet her. The interior is as lavish as you'd expect for the inside of the Castle, with mock medieval vaulted ceilings, a royal red carpet, stained glass, and stylized crest shields adoring the walls. Meals aren't all-you-can-eat, but they are all prix-fixe, though the price shifts with the season. Bookings open 180 days ahead at 7am Orlando time (and must be prepaid by credit card) and are snapped up in moments. Food selections include swordfish and pork loin. Meals $58 to $73 adults, $36 to $43 children; price includes tip and five photos of your party.

The Friday Night League got off to a tough start for the Gamepoint 13u Elite team back in September, opening up with a 36-33 loss to Coastal West. However, that ended up being the only loss on the season. The 13u Elite won nine straight games and last Friday avenged their only loss to Coastal West with a 42-39 overtime win to secure the Friday Night League Championship.
"I am very proud of this group and how much they have grown in these past couple of months" says head coach Charlie Mercado. "We were down 30-22 in the second half of the championship game and we kept our head down and kept battling."
Up next for the Gamepoint 13u Elite is the San Diego Sol Thanksgiving Tournament November 23-25.

Released in 1974, the Jeep Cherokee is now one of the best-selling vehicles in the US. Not to be confused with the popular full-size Grand Cherokee SUV, the Cherokee is a crossover SUV that is currently in its fifth generation. This all-purpose vehicle has great safety features and crash test ratings that should make it easy to find coverage.
On average, auto insurance for a Jeep Cherokee costs $220 a month — or $2,640 a year. While this estimate is double the national average of $1,318, the price you pay may be different. The cost of auto insurance is influenced by a number of factors, and your location plays a major role. For example, the average cost of insurance in Ohio is $926 per year, compared to $2,013 in Montana. This is why it's important to get quotes that reflect your actual situation.
A 2017 Jeep Cherokee starts at a base price of $23,695. With the average insurance rate at $2,640 per year, the annual insurance cost–to–base car price ratio is 11.1%.
Price. Be sure to use the same vehicle and driver details when getting quotes. This will help you compare similar coverage by price.
Deductible. Keep in mind that your deductible amount can affect the cost of insurance. Policies with higher deductibles generally have lower premiums, whereas those with lower deductibles have higher premiums.
Minimum coverage. Since each state has different coverage requirements, it's important to ensure that the policy you choose meets your state's minimums.
Additional coverage. Be sure to include any additional coverage options like personal injury protection or medical payments coverage when getting quotes.
Extras. Find out what features your policy includes and what features you'll need to pay extra for.
What factors affect car insurance rates for Jeep Cherokee?
The cost of insurance largely depends on your risk of filing claims and the cost of paying them out. And while your driving history and location can affect these factors, the vehicle you drive plays a much more important role. This is because performance, theft rates, repair costs and other variables differ between every make and model. Here's how the Jeep Cherokee's characteristics might affect the cost of insurance.
Body type. The Cherokee is an all-purpose SUV that is suitable for almost any terrain. However, its potential to be used for towing or off-road driving could make for higher insurance premiums.
Type of car. The Jeep Cherokee is a crossover SUV with a modest price tag. This could make for more affordable insurance premiums.
Theft. While Jeep theft rates are lower than average, the Cherokee is the most stolen model. This could increase the cost of insurance.
Repairs. The Cherokee has an average annual repair cost of just over $500, which is higher than other vehicles in its class. This could lead to more expensive auto insurance.
Safety ratings. The Jeep Cherokee has a number of safety features and great safety ratings that could lead to auto insurance discounts.
Fuel type. The Cherokee is a gas vehicle, which generally costs less to insure compared to diesel or hybrid vehicles.
Trim & packages. Adding options that increase power, overall value or potential repair costs could lead to higher insurance premiums. That said, features that improve safety or visibility may have the opposite effect.
Does the Jeep Cherokee qualify for auto insurance discounts?
You could save money on car insurance for your Jeep Cherokee if it comes equipped with these safety features.
The 2018 Jeep Cherokee was awarded an 8.8/10 for safety by U.S. News and J.D. Power. Additionally, it received the highest possible ratings in almost all categories from the NHTSA and IIHS.
U.S. News and J.D. Power give the 2018 Jeep Cherokee a disappointing 2.5/5 star reliability rating, which is worse than most other vehicles in its class. This could be due to its high average repair costs and the fact that it may be prone due to transmission issues.
The Jeep Cherokee is an all-purpose crossover SUV that's designed to handle almost any terrain on and off the road. It offers a comfortable and safe driving experience that makes it great for families and road trips, but it may require more maintenance than other vehicles in its class. Regardless, routine maintenance like oil changes and inspections can prevent unexpected issues and ensure that your vehicle drives smoothly. Here's what to expect.
The Cherokee has an annual average repair cost of just over $500, which is above average for crossover SUVs. Some owners have also experienced transmission problems, an expensive issue that could contribute to the higher average repair cost.
Is an extended warranty worth it for the Jeep Cherokee?
The Jeep Cherokee comes with a standard 3-year/36,000-mile limited warranty and 5-year/60,000-mile powertrain warranty. New vehicles also come with 5 years of corrosion protection and 5 years/60,000 miles of roadside assistance. Unlike other similar vehicles, Jeep does not offer a complimentary maintenance plan.
Jeep doesn't offer an official extended warranty for the Cherokee, but Mopar, its parent company, has two vehicle protection plans available. There are multiple terms that provide up to eight years/125,000 miles of coverage. Both options cover OEM part replacements, rental resimbursements and more. The Cherokee is below average in terms of reliability and has high average repair costs, so the extended protection plans may be a good idea.
The Jeep Cherokee has been around since 1974 and is currently in its fifth generation. The Cherokee was originally a variant of the Jeep Wagoneer. The compact SUV is known for its premium cabin, spacious interior, excellent off road capability with the four wheel drive option. Jeep plans to update the front end for the 2018 model with a more conservative style.
Explore other Jeep vehicles or find out what other manufacturers have to offer.
The Jeep Cherokee is an all-purpose crossover SUV that offers a balance between comfort and durability. While it has been in production since 1974, the current generation still suffers from some reliability issues that could contribute to higher auto insurance premiums. That said, it has near-perfect safety ratings and an assortment of great safety features that may help you save on auto insurance. You should get quotes from multiple providers to find out how much you'll pay, then compare your options to get the best value for the coverage you need.
What is the best auto insurance provider for the Jeep Cherokee?
While there is no single best provider for the Jeep Cherokee, it has great safety features and ratings that should make it easy to find coverage from any major provider. Since coverage and pricing are situational, it's important to get quotes from multiple providers to get estimates that reflects your driving history and actual vehicle.
How do I get the best auto insurance rates for the Jeep Cherokee?
Auto insurance for the Jeep Cherokee can be expensive due to its potential to be driven in higher-risk situations and below average reliability ratings. Choosing an extended protection plan may help reduce your cost of insurance, as could adding features that improve safety or visibility. However, every insurance provider calculates premiums differently, so it's important to compare your options to find out which one offers the best price.
