The Clothing Center and Steve completely saved me before my daughter's wedding! I was in need of a rush last minute order after receiving a horrendously over-used tuxedo from Men's Warehouse. The Clothing Center and Steve took care of me like I was family. Not only did he rush a gorgeous tux to me the next day, but he tailored it for me and it fit like a glove. It looked fabulous and we were all thrilled. My daughter couldn't stop raving at the way the tux looked and fit. Thank you guys!
I came in with my husband and two boys to purchase clothing for my son's bar mitzvah. My husband and boys were fitted for sports coats, slacks, suits and tuxedos by Anthony. He was extremely helpful matching shirts and ties to everything that we purchased. His patience with my children was fabulous! We truly had an excellent experience at the Clothing Center. Anthony, and everybody else there, were great!
I needed to get a black suit for my good friend Jerry's wedding. Yes, the same friend whose bachelor party was at the East Windsor NJ Quality Inn. I'm a tall guy who is big, but not obese like who big & tall stores cater to.
Suit shopping for me typically isn't about what store has the best deals, but what store has my size. After going to Men's Wearhouse & Jos A Bank (who doesn't carry three-piece suits like I need), I went to Casual Male XL where the salesperson turned me onto The Clothing Center.
Once I got there, Richard Morton was the one to help find me the right suit for a good price. I told him what I needed the suit for and the quick turnaround time to get it (3 weeks). He was quite helpful in suggesting the right look of a suit to match the tuxedos my friends & his dad were wearing.
He told me about how he's been in the suit selling game since he was younger and his time working at Jos A Bank & how they mark up suits to mark them back down. I wound up getting a good-quality suit for a fair price.
I think I'll even go as far as to say that Richard Morton at The Clothing Center is my suit guy.
Just a little note to say thank you for all your help, great service and kind words. The wedding was great and I felt like a star in my new suit.
What can we say....Fabulous!!! Highly recommend this store that gives such personal service. They promise miracles and they deliver. From a very knowledgeable salesperson Richard, to the most amazing skilled tailor Domingo, there are no words. Thank you so much.
Thank you so much for everything you did for us. The suits were perfect. I totally appreciate your attention to detail and service standard. Jamaica was amazing!
You added enormously to making a wonderful day even more memorable. Thanks.
Thank you for all of your help with the tux's. Everyone looked amazing! You both were so helpful through the whole process and we both greatly appreciate all of your help! You have gained our business for life.
Thank you so much for such a wonderful experience in such a wonderful place.
Pete was a gem and Domingo gave us extra-special attention. The personal service to every end.
We really appreciate everything you did for us and we'll look amazing thanks to you!
Thanks so much for taking care of my family and I before my wedding. We all looked sharp! Your kindness and generosity is much appreciated. Sam was smiling down for sure! Have a happy and healthy holiday season!
Just a quick note of thanks for you both for your help and service in helping out my cousin, Mike, during an obviously difficult time for our family. You and the entire Clothing Center family have always done things "top-notch" and with the utmost class wherever the Fischetti's have needed something in a pinch!
Thank you so much for making my groom and bridal party look so handsome. You were so helpful and friendly. My wedding day was beautiful and thank you so much for being a part of it.
Thanks so much for helping me with Tony's birthday gift. We really surprised him!
I know that this note is a little late, but Bill and I wanted to thank you for all of your help with the tuxedo rentals. They looked great! We will definitely recommend your store to any of our friends and relatives getting married. We hope to see you again soon!
Thank you so much for helping us with the tuxedos for our wedding. My husband and all the gentlemen looked so handsome. We can't thank you enough. You made the process easy and you helped us out so much with reasonable prices. Thanks again!
We wanted to thank you so much for all of your help and for all of your hard work! It's very refreshing to have someone pay such attention to everything that we needed for our special day as well as to detail. It was such a pleasure working with you and the staff of The Clothing Center. We are so happy and couldn't have picked a better place and person to help us get ready for our special day!
As we approach our one year anniversary and look back on the wonderful memories we have of our wedding day, we would like to thank you for helping to add to the greatness of our special day! Our groom and groomsmen cleaned up beautifully thanks to you! We would also like to let you know that we have taken the next step in our life together and are expecting twin boys this winter! Again we thank you so much for your wonderful service and will definitely see you soon!
Thank you so much for your help in making me look my absolute best on "the big day." You and your crew were patient, considerate and professional during the process of choosing tuxedos for the entire bridal party. Continued success to a great business and a great friend!
We want to thank you for all that you did to help make our wedding a true black-tie event. Our whole wedding party, including the groom and our fathers, all looked so fantastic in the tuxedos. Your staff took incredible care of our whole wedding party, helping each man look and feel his best for this important family occasion. Our families have been coming to you for years and will continue the tradition for many, many years to come. Thank you again for first class service for our black-tie affair.
I want to thank the staff of The Clothing Center for making my son and I look great for my daughter Amanda's recent bat mitzvah. While everyone was terrific, special thanks are in order for Bob Wishnoff. Bob not only picked out fantastic suits, shirt and ties for us, but he was great with Spencer, who has special needs. Everyone at the reception raved about how handsome Spencer looked next to his sister. I have enclosed a picture so you, Bob, and the rest of your fine staff can see as well.
Just a brief email note to say hello to Mr. Worby and his great sales staff. You did an excellent job with the internet web site describing the store inventory and the visuals are appealing. This should bring in many new customers.
You promise unrivaled customer service and you sure deliver! Thank you for helping with my sons Communion attire. You placed a special order for his shirt that came in super fast and went above and beyond in making sure his tie was altered in hours! Your follow up calls were incredible and you made us feel as if we were your only client. Thank you to a truly amazing staff--just stellar!
I would like to take this time, to let you know, that you have a fine staff. I had a death in my family and needed clothes for the funeral. Bob, a mature salesman, understood my plight and treated me with great understanding. He recommended a suit, shirts and ties along with a belt. Your tailor, a lady in haberdashery all cooperated. I received my tailored suit in plenty of time. Tell Bob many thanks.
Thank you so much for helping my students in my periods 8/9 and 10/11 Sociology classes with the generosity you showed by allowing our grooms to wear tuxedos for the mock wedding project. The tuxedos added a realistic touch to the project and made it look and feel like an actual wedding.
In our present culture where we are constantly rushed and pressed for time, it was great to see the cooperation between our school and the local community. I know that you are busy with the day-to-day responsibilities of running a business, but your kindness is greatly appreciated. It was certainly a memorable experience for the students and a valuable lesson in life as they mature and prepare for their future careers.
We just wanted to thank you so much for helping us with Matthew's suit at a very difficult time. You went "above and beyond" by having it all done so quickly, and we really appreciate everything.
I am writing this letter to express our most sincere appreciation for the epitome of customer service we received at your store on Friday evening. Your commercial hardly depicts the quality of service your store provides.
My husband, Donnell and I believe in giving credit where credit is due. We are also very selective in where we choose to spend our money. One thing that assists our decision-making process is quality customer service. In your establishment, we were made to feel like we were the only customers in your store. The fact that you personally assisted my husband, gave constructive criticism, and did not try to force a sale was very impressive. Your prices were affordable and your staff, from the salesman to the cashier, was friendly and courteous. We entered your store shortly before closing, but we never felt rushed or as if we were holding up someone's Friday night plans. This too was most impressive.
We wish you continued success with your business. We know if you continue your personal selling manner, warm atmosphere and awesome selection, your company will be around many years to come.
P.S. Incidentally, we only came in to purchase a tie. Our multiple sale was a direct result of your professionalism and expertise. Thank you for a pleasant shopping experience.
In October of 1987, during one of your busiest seasons, I called and asked if you could fit me for a new suit and have it ready within 24 hours. I wanted a new suit since I was invited to an affair in Washington, D.C. and would be in the company of the President of the United States.
You were kind enough to accommodate me. You personally took the time to fit me, do the necessary tailoring and delivered my new suit with a smile.
I deeply appreciate your responsiveness and continue to enjoy the very fine suit that I purchased for this event. As a token of my appreciation, I am enclosing a photograph of the President, myself and my wife. You will note that the President's suit is very much the same as the suit that I purchased from you.
It is indeed a pleasure to do business with such a fine organization.
I have been shopping at The Clothing Center for myself and my boys for over 25 years. Every time I have a special need, a special request, or anything outside the ordinary, you and your team have made it happen. The quality of your clothes, your tailoring, and your service is always top-notch.
I really appreciated you assisting me last week, in spite of how busy you were and then picking out an assortment of matching accessories. They were perfect and of course having everything ready the next day was fantastic.

Cycling in Morzine: the next destination to tick off your bucket list
Nestled against the Swiss border, Morzine offers up a portion of French alps climbing with a side of off-bike resort entertainment
(Image credit: Corbis via Getty Images)
By Michelle Arthurs-Brennan published 15 August 19
Visit Morzine in the peak summer holiday season, and you'd be forgiven for believing it was a mecca reserved for an entirely different breed of rider: one wearing baggy shorts and more likely to see their heart rate hit the upper echelons going downhill rather than climbing a mountain.
>>> Best cycling holidays
>>> Cycling holidays in France
Despite the huge array of cultivated trails, and conveniently placed uplifts which serve skiers in the snowy season, it's not only full-face helmet wearing downhill mountain bikers who can enjoy Morzine - though if you do like to enjoy a mixture of riding then you'll most certainly be spoilt for choice.
Nestled amongst climbs which enjoy decades of Tour de France history, the French ski resort offers up a wealth of opportunity for road riders seeking miles of tarmac and metres of ascent.
Why go cycling in Morzine?
Peloton in 2010. Photo by Tim De Waele/Getty Images
Nudging the border to Switzerland, Morzine is set in the French Alps and the mountains provide a backdrop which will have you recalibrating your expectations of high definition television.
The natural beauty wordlessly makes its own case - but of course it's not the only place you can hunt out a stunning vista.
Being a ski resort, Morzine (or, Morzine-Avoriaz, since pairing up with the newer resort 14km up the mountain) is also set up for tourists - in this case, very active ones.
Whether balancing on the tightrope spanning the 300m wide Lac de Montriond or completing a midweek triathlon, Morzine's residents (many of them expats) and holidayers have a low tolerance for boredom and seemingly Duracell bunny levels of energy.
With ski lifts, a complex of swimming pools including a 50 metre outdoor playground, tennis courts, skate park, a slide which will give you a glimpse at what the mountain bikers are enjoying without risk to your collarbone - and more - Morzine can provide all you need to keep an entire family entertained.
Or, indeed, a group of friends who want to eat and drink their way through the evenings via the endless array of bars and restaurants.
When it comes to cycling, the climbs are suitably long and hard enough to entertain a roadie for at least a week. There are some shorter and shallower humps too, and if flat is your thing, there's the option of riding the stunning but elevation starved 170km around lake Geneva.
When to go, and how to get there?
Being a mountain location, you've got to accept that the weather forecast is unlikely to throw up wall-to-wall sunshine from May to October - probability suggests you'll get the odd rainy day over a week long stay.
However, average temperatures sit at around 20ºc through June, July and August - and mid afternoon you can expect them to reach the high 20s.
If you want the buzz of busy streets and plenty of people watching opportunities, August is your best bet - being peak school holiday season. If you'd rather things were quieter, look to visit earlier, or in late September.
A photo posted by on
If you're flying, the easiest option is to land at Geneva airport - a 70 km drive from the French hub. Alternatively, you can board the Eurotunnel or Ferry it over to Calais and commence the 881km road trip. The payáge fees will begin to add up, but there's plenty of nice spots en route if you want to make a mini-break of the journey itself.
Tourist Centres are usually a landmark to avoid like the plague, but if you're riding in Morzine, it's worth a visit - if only to pick up a copy of the 'Guide Velo', or 'Road Bike Guide'. In a world awash with glitchy GPX files, this little booklet has long been a refreshing example of route guidance done right (at time of writing).
There's useful routes that will take you out to the key climbs - of which we've handpicked just a few of the tougher ascents below.
Others not to be missed are the stunning Col de l'Encreaz, and the Col du Corbier (6km, 8.6 per cent) is a perfect opportunity for a short sharp benchmarking effort.
The shorter, shallower ascents of the Col du Perret (963m) and Col de Terramont (1096m) can be tagged together nicely for a less challenging, rolling day out, too.
Col de Joux Plane
Building up to 1691m in elevation - and providing a perfect platform from which to view the snowy peaks of Mont Blanc - the Joux Plane is arguably the hardest climb of the lot.
Ride straight up from Morzine and it's 11km at 6.5 per cent, or depart from Samoëns for 11.1km at 8.91 per cent, with a max of 11.2 per cent.
Riding from Samoëns, the gradient is pretty relentless in its consistency - aside from a tough ramp at 1km and another at 6km, plus a little breather at 4.5km.
Col d'Avoriaz
Used as a "time trial" route, this 14 kilometre climb is perhaps the ultimate end of season hill climb destination.
The Col d'Avoriaz joins Morzine to Avoriaz. It averages at six per cent, with some testing 10 per cent sections, and contains 20 hairpins. The fastest recorded ascent was made by none other than Bernald Hinault - in 33 minutes, and the Tour de France is no stranger to this mountain.
Erupting straight out of Morzine, this is a handy climb to warm the legs up on arrival, test yourself before departure, or - if you're a glutton for punishment - tag onto the end of a longer ride. From the top, you can descend down the Col de Joux Verte...
Col de Joux Verte
Running parallel with the Col d'Avoriaz is the Col de Joux Verte. It's a far prettier climb, which is also nicely shaded for much of the ascent.
The climb is 15 kilometres long, and averages 5.7 per cent. En route, you'll pass the stunning Lac de Montriond, and soon after a section of leg sapping 9 per cent switchbacks, you'll emerge in Les Lindarets - affectionally called the "goat village."
Kilometres 11 to 13 are pleasantly shallow, at about 5 per cent, giving you a great opportunity to enjoy a little respite and soak in the views before the last two km at around 7 per cent.
Col de le Ramaz
Another Tour de France legend, the Ramaz featured in 1981, 2003, 2010 and most recently in 2016 - when Thomas De Gendt won the stage which concluded in Morzine itself.
Climb from Mieussy and you'll enjoy 13.8km at 7.1 per cent, or ride from Taninges for a 16km climb at 6.1 per cent.
The Mieussy side offers up two consecutive 9 per cent kilometre markers at 9 and 10km - right below a series of long tunnels which can feel like a remarkably tempting excuse to soft pedal out of the sun. It's worth taking a rear light, since the first tunnel is both long and closed.
Check out....
There's endless activities to be enjoyed off the bike, and a myriad of food and drink outlets to peruse at your leisure. But here are out top picks for accommodation and entertainment...
The product of two UK cyclists who loved Morzine so much, they had to buy a place there, 44South provide cycling holidays for roadies and triathletes looking to get the most from their stay.
Their chalet can sleep up to 18 people, and there's a range of boarding options depending on the level of catering you're looking for.
Le Lac de Montriond
Don't miss out on a day at the lake.
At 1.3km long and 300m wide, it's expansive enough to be enjoyed by swimmers, canoeists and the newer breed of SUP boarders. There's a cafe at each end, plus paths for running, walking, and pony rides...
Satellite Coffee
If you're a roadie who partakes in the coffee culture of cycling, you may find some of the coffee on offer elsewhere a little lacklustre. Antidote: Satellite Coffee.
Here, you'll find the lovingly barista made flat white you've probably been craving since arrival on French soil, as well as Instagram ready pancake stacks, plus vegan and gluten free cakes. The perfect place to kill a rainy afternoon.
Skoda Ice Rink
Morzine-Avoriaz has its own ice hockey team, and fixtures are fairly regular.
An evening spent spectating, armed with a pint and chips, is a pretty good way to recover from a long ride in the mountains.

Earl 'Fatha' Hines - a male celebrity - born on Monday December 28th 1903, in Duquesne, Pennsylvania, USA,.
Earl 'Fatha' Hines is gifted with natural leadership and the capacity to accumulate great wealth. He has great talent for management in all walks of life, especially in business and financial matters, where he contributes the greater vision, purpose, and long-range goals. He understands the material world, and intuitively knows what makes virtually any enterprise work. Business, finance, real estate, law, science (particularly history, archeology, and physics), publishing, and the management of large institutions are among the vocational fields that suit Fatha best. He is naturally attracted to positions of influence and leadership, and politics, social work, and teaching are among the many other areas where his abilities can shine.
He possesses the ability to inspire people to join him in his quest, even when they are incapable of seeing what he sees. Therefore, those around Earl 'Fatha' Hines need his continual guidance, inspiration, and encouragement. Hines is a good judge of character, which serves him well in attracting the right people that he can prod them then into action and direct them along the lines of his vision.
Fatha's challenge in life is to understand that power and influence must be used for the benefit of mankind, and only for his personal gain. Otherwise, Earl 'Fatha' Hines is bound to suffer the consequences of greed and run the risk of losing it all. He must also learn to bounce back from failures and defeats. As with many greate visionaries, Hines can be reckless for lack of attention to details. Thus, it is not unlikely for such personality to experience major reverses, including bankruptcies and financial failure. Earl 'Fatha' Hines, however, has the talent and the sheer guts to make more than one fortune, and build many successful enterprises.
Earl 'Fatha' Hines is a person of thinking and planning.
It is natural for Fatha to think before he acts, to constantly plan the short- and long-term future, and to keep elaborate notes and diary with everything well planned and written down.
If Fatha is over-organized, he should practice finding his way in disarrayed environment, or otherwise feel confused and in disarray himself.
Tour Fatha's menu and gain more insight into his personality traits, relationships, strengths and weaknesses, likes and dislikes, compatibility with you and with others, and much more.


This is probably the most personal wedding Stark Love will have ever shot.
Jaclyn is my sister. My best friend. And Benjamin is her better half. The one that doesn't give in, but gives her his all. And this is their wedding.
It was the hottest day during our 2 week stay in Australia. Most of our hair dos didn't last the intense humidity and heat. Time ran faster than we thought it would. Photo opportunities didn't necessarily go as planned. And only one shooter the entire wedding. But it was a beautiful. She was radiant. He was dashing. They were absolutely stunning. And even though three days later we boarded a plane 13hrs back to the States with the Pacific Ocean between us, we had the time of our lives.
There are little words to describe the magnificence of this day, so instead I'll write it with visuals.
These shots are so present, so in the moment and I absolutely love that you capture such a raw feel. Shadows, natural light or light that is present. IT feels so natural and I love it! Great job to you two and what a beautiful bride your sister is!

All-New 2018 Rolls-Royce Phantom Caught on Shots In-and-Out, Will Bring Significant Styling Bits
Rolls Royce Spy Photos
While BMW and MINI are busy planning and testing out their latest hot rides which will arrive in the market in new forms, including a wide range of plug-in hybrids and all-electric vehicles by 2021, the Group`s luxury subsidiary Rolls-Royce is also bringing some important updates to its high-end models.
One of these models to be released in the near future – in 2017 to be exact as a 2018 MY – is the all-new Rolls-Royce Phantom, the model being recently caught on shots while undergoing tests outside its plant.
Thanks to motor1 via CarPix, we also have the first batch of spy photos with the 2018 Phantom, the test mule seen here wearing full camouflage around the body, which indicates significant changes in terms of styling. The interior will also receive updates.
As we can depict from the photos, the new model will stand taller and will be more imposing, as it will ride on an all-aluminum architecture, meaning that it will shed off significant weight to make room for a wide array of engines and increase the space inside.
Thanks to the new aluminum structure, the company will actually release two versions – a short wheelbase, which is actually the one seen here, as well as a long wheelbase, offering increase space inside the cabin.
On terms of styling, the 2018 Phantom in both its forms, will come with a more imposing yet aggressive body styling, highlighted by a wider front grille flanked by new headlights, with other bits as well borrowed from the previous generation Phantom VII. Also, the taillights will be updates, while the C-pillar will be reshaped to best fit the now more sloped roofline. Overall, we are looking here at an extremely evolutionary design.
Inside, the cabin will also receive some important modifications, and judging by the interior photos below, we might be looking here at a dual screen, updated digital instrument cluster and a lot more. As far as the engine lineup goes, there are not any fresh details concerning any changes, the new Phantom reportedly carrying over the same mills from the current model.

Home > Nutrition content claims and health claims
January 22, 2016 By @entwellbeing
Nutrition content claims and health claims
Marketing can make any food product sound amazing by filling the product packaging with appealing claims and statements. Often these claims are extremely misleading and make the item sound far healthier than it actually is. This therefore causes a lot of confusion for people who are trying to make better choices. There are certain regulations in place to limit what companies can put on labels but many companies are still very clever with their wording. Fortunately, a new standard will restrict companies even further.
A new food standard to regulate nutrition content claims and health claims on food labels and in advertisements became law on 18 January 2013. Food businesses must comply with the new standard (Standard 1.2.7) from 18 January 2016.
Nutrition content claims are voluntary statements that a food business may use on their labelling. They are used to highlight the positives of the product and advertise the product in a way that will ideally increase sales.
Nutrition content claims are claims about the content of certain nutrients or substances in a food, such as 'low in fat' or 'good source of calcium'. These claims will need to meet certain criteria set out in the Standard. For example, with a 'good source of calcium' claim, the food will need to contain more than the amount of calcium specified in the Standard.
Health claims are used to point out the relationship that the food has on health. There are two different types of health claims. The claims still have to be fairly general and cannot make out that that particular product alone will have significant effects on health.
General level health claims refer to a nutrient or substance in a food and its effect on a health function. They must not refer to a serious disease or to a biomarker of a serious disease. For example: calcium is good for bones and teeth.
High level health claims refer to a nutrient or substance in a food and its relationship to a serious disease or to a biomarker of a serious disease. For example: Diets high in calcium may reduce the risk of osteoporosis in people 65 years and over. An example of a biomarker health claim is: Phytosterols may reduce blood cholesterol.
All claims must be supported by scientific evidence and either be one of FSANZ pre-approved claims or be proven by the business through conducting their own research/experiments and presenting the evidence to FSANZ for approval. There are over 200 claims already approved by FSANZ.
Food-health relationships derived from health claims approved in the European Union, Canada and the USA have been considered for inclusion in the Standard. Health claims will only be permitted on foods that meet the nutrient profiling scoring criterion (NPSC). For example, health claims will not be allowed on foods high in saturated fat, sugar or salt.
The new standard 1.2.7 will hopefully help to clear up a lot of confusion for people by:
Reducing the risk of misleading and deceptive claims about food.
Expanding the range of permitted health claims.
Encouraging industry to innovate, giving consumers a wider range of healthy food choices.
Providing clarity for the jurisdictions enforcing the Standard.

About 25 residents of a Rancho Palos Verdes condominium complex were allowed back into their homes late Thursday after workers repaired a natural gas leak.
An electrical arc in a vault damaged the 1-inch gas line near the complex in the 27900 block of Ridgebluff Court about 7:40 a.m., Southern California Gas Co. spokeswoman Denise King said.
County fire Inspector Frank Garrido said gas flowed through plumbing and into residents' condominiums.
Evacuees sought shelter in the complex's clubhouse.
As crews worked to repair the line, colleagues aerated the soil to allow gas to rise and dissipate, King said.
Residents returned to their homes in the afternoon, but crews planned to work into the evening to restore gas and electrical service, King said.
City officials said gas service would be restored before the electricity returned.
The power outage disabled traffic signals on Hawthorne Boulevard at Granvia Altamira and Highridge Road.

Goodbye David Frost. Long Live Richard Nixon.

Presidential Party Politics
by admin • November 4, 2012 • 0 Comments
"Who would you rather have a beer with?" Wasn't that the deciding question of the 2000 and 2004 elections? By the time the morning after of 2008 rolled around, we already hated ourselves for our choices over the previous eight…
Hi. My name is Dave. I've been thinking a lot about 1972 lately, and of what a long time 40 years is, even if it feels just like yesterday.
It was a big year for me. I started first grade, and not at just any school, but at "The Alternative School." You can get a pretty good idea of what the school was about from the name and the fact that it started in 1972.
I was in class when I heard about Nixon beating McGovern. Our teacher's name was Steve. It was the afternoon and we were in our makeshift classroom. The Cuisenaire rods were put away in the closet; math time was over. We were transitioning to the afternoon, sitting on little squares of carpet with the lights dimmed, attempting to have some sort of quiet time, but it was no use. "I think they had the election for the President yesterday!" a kid said.
"No way. Just for one day? That seems like a rip-off. Let's ask Steve."
Steve confirmed that it was true, that the elections had been the day before and the results were already decided. "Nixon beat McGovern in a landslide," were his exact words. A landslide.
You take stuff literally when you're six. I had just learned about the horrors of quicksand, and I was pretty sure people were killed in landslides. My take on the whole thing was that the popular vote was neither here nor there, but that Nixon became President by default because McGovern got taken out by falling rocks.
Aah, memories…Hard to believe 1972 was 40 years ago. In 1972, 40 years ago was 1932. Hoover was President. The New Deal was still in the future. The world changed unfathomably in those four decades. Sociologically at least, 1972 would have been unrecognizable to a citizen of 1932.
From our current vantage point, 1972 was a different world as well, but not nearly as different as 1932 was to 1972. The Alternative School opened for business in the fall of that year, meaning the school would have begun to be conceptualized and realized in 1970-71 or so. In other words, the Alternative School emerged during America's most turbulent decade since the Civil War, founded by a small group of committed parents and educators.
It turns out that the tumult and upheaval of that period had largely run its course by 1972, but there was no way of knowing this at the time. The Weathermen and Yippies were still very much active as the 1970s began. The 1968 Democratic National Convention would have been the most recent presidential political marker. Kent State and Jackson State represented the contemporary state of relations between government and higher education.
To us they were Nixon, to them we were Manson. Having long hair in public could still land you in a fistfight.
This was the zeitgeist into which the Alternative School was born. Not all the goals of the school's ideologues and their generational cohorts were attained. Few of us first graders stuck with the program all the way through high school. Most of my former classmates who now have kids of their own have chosen to raise them in a far more structured environment. The Alternative School itself ceased to exist by the early 1980s.
But looking back now, 40 years later, in an era when the Rolling Stones play Super Bowl halftime shows, a multiracial former Occidental College student sits in the While House, and the term "alternative" itself has acquired mainstream cachet, it's easier to appreciate how far we've actually come since "The Landslide" of 1972.

According to the Mortgage Bankers Association's latest Weekly Mortgage Applications Survey for the week ending January 11, 2019, U.S. mortgage applications increased 13.5 percent from one week earlier.
The Market Composite Index, a measure of mortgage loan application volume, increased 13.5 percent on a seasonally adjusted basis from one week earlier to its highest level since February 2018. On an unadjusted basis, the Index increased 45 percent compared with the previous week.
Fratantoni added, "Borrowers with larger loans tend to be more responsive to a given drop in mortgage rates, and we are seeing that so far in 2019. Furthermore, borrowers with jumbo loans are also more apt to take adjustable-rate mortgages as opposed to fixed-rate loans. Thus, it is not surprising to see the ARM share at its highest level since 2014. These borrowers may also feel more confident taking an adjustable-rate mortgage given the expectation of a more patient Fed."
The average contract interest rate for 30-year fixed-rate mortgages with conforming loan balances ($484,350 or less) remain unchanged at 4.74 percent, with points decreasing to 0.45 from 0.47 (including the origination fee) for 80 percent loan-to-value ratio (LTV) loans. The effective rate decreased from last week.
The average contract interest rate for 30-year fixed-rate mortgages with jumbo loan balances (greater than $484,350) increased to 4.53 percent from 4.52 percent, with points increasing to 0.31 from 0.28 (including the origination fee) for 80 percent LTV loans.
The effective rate increased from last week. The average contract interest rate for 30-year fixed-rate mortgages backed by the FHA increased to 4.76 percent from 4.70 percent, with points increasing to 0.52 from 0.47 (including the origination fee) for 80 percent LTV loans.
The effective rate increased from last week. The average contract interest rate for 15-year fixed-rate mortgages decreased to its lowest level since April 2018, 4.13 percent, from 4.16 percent, with points increasing to 0.45 from 0.35 (including the origination fee) for 80 percent LTV loans.
The effective rate remained unchanged from last week. The average contract interest rate for 5/1 ARMs increased to 4.08 percent from 4.05 percent, with points remaining unchanged at 0.32 (including the origination fee) for 80 percent LTV loans. The effective rate increased from last week.


Our gear in the livingroom corner is neatly stacking up during our regular late night pre-packing sessions. It's starting to seem possible to pack our lives into one car and head off for a year. I still have not come to terms with leaving my two boxes of books behind so I wait patiently by my inbox hoping I will get the go ahead from Fulbright to ship a few boxes to the U.S. Embassy in Guatemala. Parting will be sweet sorrow with my books, but it will force me to use my Kindle more and now that I have a Kindle feedburner, I'm good to go. For the next few days it's all about finishing up my Future of Peten video, doing what I can with taxes deductions and cutting my clothes bag by at least 25 %. I did, however, take inspiration from Brad's "modularize, modularize, modularize" slogan and packed my first office box in an oh so modular way.

Born: November 29, 1898
Belfast, Ireland
Oxford, England
Irish writer, novelist, and essayist
The Irish novelist and essayist C. S. Lewis was best known for his essays on literature and his explanations of Christian teachings.
On November 29, 1898, Clive Staples Lewis was born in Belfast, Ireland. He was the son of A. J. Lewis, a lawyer, and Flora August Hamilton Lewis, a mathematician (expert in mathematics), whose father was a minister. At four years old he told his parents that he wanted to be called "Jack" Lewis, and his family and friends referred to him that way for the rest of his life. Jack's best friend as a boy was his older brother Warren. They did everything together and even created their own made-up country, Boxen, going so far as to create many individual characters and a four-hundred-year history of the country.
Lewis's mother, who had tutored him in French and Latin, died when he was ten years old. After spending a year in studies at Malvern College, a boarding school in England, he continued his education privately under a tutor named W. T. Kirkpatrick, former headmaster (principal) of Lurgan College. During World War I (1914–18), which began as a conflict between Austria-Hungary and Serbia but eventually involved much of Europe, Lewis served as a second lieutenant in the English army, interrupting his career as a scholar that he had begun in 1918 at University College, Oxford. Wounded in the war, he returned to Oxford, where he was appointed lecturer at University College in 1924. In 1925 he was appointed fellow (performing advanced study or research) and tutor at Magdalen College, England, where he gave lectures on English literature.

In 1926 Lewis's first publication, Dymer, appeared under the pseudonym (fake writing name) Clive Hamilton. Dymer revealed Lewis's gift for satire (a work of literature that makes fun of human vice or foolishness). The Pilgrims' Regress, an allegory (an expression of truths about human existence using symbols) published in 1933, presented an apology for Christianity. It was not until the appearance of his second allegorical work, The Allegory of Love (1936), however, that Lewis was honored with the coveted Hawthornden prize.
The Screwtape Letters (1942), for which Lewis is perhaps best known, is a satire in which the devil, here known as Screwtape, writes letters teaching his young nephew, Wormwood, how to tempt humans to sin. Lewis published seven religious allegories for children titled Chronicles of Narnia (1955). He also published several scholarly works on literature, including English Literature in the 16th Century (1954) and Experiment in Criticism (1961).
Although Lewis went on to publish several works involving religion, he had lost interest in it early in life and only later "converted" to Christianity, joining the Anglican Church. His autobiography (the story of his own life), Surprised by Joy: The Shape of My Early Life, fails to explain what happened in his childhood. His headmaster in boarding school, a minister who urged him to "think" by hitting him, may have contributed to this change.
Lewis went on to become a professor of English at Cambridge University, England, in 1954. Widely read as an adult, his knowledge of literature made him much sought after for his company and conversation. Lewis thoroughly enjoyed sitting up into the late hours in college rooms talking about literature, poetry, and religion.
In 1956, rather late in life, Lewis married Joy Davidman Gresham, the daughter of a New York Jewish couple. She was a graduate of Hunter College and had previously been married twice. When her first husband suffered a heart attack, she turned to prayer. Reading the writings of Lewis, she began attending church. Later, led by his writings to Lewis himself, she divorced her second husband, Williams Gresham, and married Lewis. She died some three years before her husband. C. S. Lewis died at his home in Headington, Oxford, England, on November 24, 1963. A major collection of his works is held by Wheaton College in Illinois.

The Kershaw Launch 10 Plain Edge Knife is comfortable to carry, hold, and use. The curved blade and the positioning of the razor-sharp tip make it especially handy when opening or breaking down boxes. Rope or cording is also easily mastered with the superb pull-cutting capabilities of the Launch 10. The curved blade is made of CPM 154 steel with a stonewashed finish. The powdered metallurgy steel takes and holds an excellent edge, offers good corrosion resistance, wear resistance, and toughness. And while the claw-shaped blade curves downward, the handle, built of strong yet lightweight anodized aluminum sweeps up. This balances the overall look of the knife and provides a secure grip. The integrated backspacer includes a large lanyard hole and the Launch 10's deep-carry pocketclip is left/right reversible (tip-up). A push-button on the handle opens the knife quickly. Push the button again to release the blade and fold it back into the handle.

The pitanga, fruit of the pitangueira , Eugenia uniflora , is native plant of the Brazilian Atlantic Forest , sister of guava, araçá, grumixama and others of the genus Eugenia, botanic family of Myrtaceae. Let's talk about its medicinal and aromatic use – pitanga is tasty, scented and curative. Leaves, fruits, bark, everything can be used to your benefit.
The pitanga fruit you can eat raw, or make jelly, sweet , preserve, which in any way it is delicious . This fruit you will not find in the markets – when it ripens, the pitanga has little durability and resistance – and the ideal is to harvest it in the foot and use immediately. You can beat the pitanga in juice, mixed or not with other fruits, goes of the taste. To make jelly or candy, remove the lumps before, because with the heat they give a little bitter taste. Only consume mature pitanga – depending on the variety the ripe fruit may be bright red, sun orange or grape black, bright.
The leaves of the pitangueira give a great tea for when it is half altered – that is, when you are a little nervous and your blood pressure goes up, or when you are restless, anxious, even without blood pressure changes.
To make the pitanga leaf tea it is not necessary to boil the leaves, only the water . A handful of green leaves, hand full, is sufficient for a large kettle of water. From 3 to 7 leaves to a cup of boiling water will give you a tasty tea(some pitangueiras have large leaves, others, small, so it varies the number of them in the cup). In our view there is no need to sweeten this tea, which is very tasty and aromatic.
But the leaves of the pitangueira are also used to treat diarrhea , fever, rheumatism and more .
Another use of the pitangueira leaves is in the herbal bath or bath of smell. This bath is good for the skin and hair by its astringent action, which balances the oiliness of the skin and the scalp , and is antibacterial. Today there are some good cosmetic products where the essential oil of pitanga has been included , for this dermatological effect that has been known for centuries by our Brazilian natives.
The leaves of the pitangueira herb, dedicated to Ogum and Yemanjá, balance the energies of fire and water , essential for emotional cleansing , especially in those more troubled days, for example during PMS. Use without fear of making mistakes. This is a herbal bath that you can use throughout the body, including the head.
What do they have in pitangueira oil?
The essential oil of pitangueira is extracted from young leaves and branches of this plant. It is a very moisturizing oil , with antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory and repellent action. This is an oil that does not have commercial expansion so be wary of its origin if the price is very cheap.
Some researchers study this oil, in its composition and possibility of use for the cure of diseases such as cancer.

Our milk is vat pasteurized. The most milk that we pasteurize at any one time is 15 gallons. The milk is heated to 145 degrees and held at that temperature for 30 minutes. Then it is rapidly cooled down to 45 degrees, bottled, and placed in a refrigerator, where it is cooled to just above freezing and kept there till sold.
Almost all milk that is purchased in stores is processed in much larger quantities, using much higher temperatures. Vat pasteurization better preserves the natural flavor and quality of milk.
All of our processing equipment has been tested and approved by the state of Tennessee, and we are routinely inspected to ensure that our equipment is working properly and meets the state standards.

Why CHROS are focusing on human capital management in 2023
Attracting, managing, and retaining talent was a key discussion point at HRM Asia's CHRO Series Singapore 2022, which took place on December 1.
As CHROs, do you have a talent management strategy in place to identify the high potential employees that will help bring your organisation to new heights in 2023?
With this thought-provoking question, Alvin Goh, Executive Director, Singapore Human Resources Institute and Shree Mogan, Council Member, ASEAN Human Development Organisation (AHDO), set the stage for delegates at CHRO Series Singapore to take a deep dive into the key trends that are likely to impact the workplace in 2023.
People do not leave organisations, they leave people, Goh and Morgan highlighted. The onus thus, is on organisations to create two-way communication with employees that empower the latter to give their best at work. Look beyond compensation when it comes to talent retention and offer learning opportunities that address the needs of every employee, they added.
The future of work has arrived, and it is borderless, agile, skills-based, data-driven, and is always-on, said Rob Squires, VP Regional Head, Asia and Japan, Ceridian.
The new focus for HR leaders, he added, is value creation in three areas: financial, workforce, and culture. Financial value creation includes revenue generation and cost containment, which focuses on how the workforce is managed.
Workforce value creation includes talent retention, creating nimbleness and agility; and culture value creation, which Squires emphasised must start with the executive suite, includes creating diversity and sustainability through flexibility in job roles and responsibilities, and the ability to manage unethical or illegal employee actions quickly.
Organisations are increasingly using technology to create better candidate experiences and to turn hiring into a competitive advantage, shared David Harden, Senior Vice President, Client Success, Paradox.
He shared the example of Ev-e, a conversational AI assistant that Paradox helped General Motors roll out to automate interview scheduling, improve candidate experiences, and represent General Motors' brand and culture.
Less than a year after Eve's introduction, General Motors has scheduled more than 50,000 interviews, reduced the time to schedule interviews from five days to 29 minutes on average, and resulted in direct cost savings of more than US$2 million.
In managing a multi-generational workforce, find commonality among employees, said Kim Chua, Director of Student Access, Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, who moderated a panel discussion that included Low Peck Kem, CHRO & Advisory (Workforce Development), Public Service Division, Prime Minister's Office Singapore, and Angelina Chua, Head of People & Culture, Asia Pacific South, SIG Group.
Agreeing with Kim, Peck Kem advised organisations to focus on the similarities between employees and to focus on the job that needs to be done. "Design strategies and manage resources to bring in the people that cab make your organisation successful. Optimise and develop strengths and empower your people to do their best," she added.
What is your Employee Value Proposition (EVP) and what is the sense of purpose your employees have, Angelina urged organisations to ask themselves. "Introduce a more inclusive approach that creates a sense of belonging so that you can bring different generations of employees together."
Building a long-term learning culture starts and ends with your people, said Mike Warren, RVP Sales, Asia Pacific, Docebo.
To cultivate learning habits within your organisation, learning must be an integral part of the business journey. Leaders must align learning with corporate objectives, tie learning to goals, develop teams to achieve goals, complete the circle with feedback, and reward success, Warren highlighted.
"Making learning engaging for employees is not just about the content, it's about the whole system that supports the learning experience. It's a jigsaw puzzle of technical, experiential, and content pieces that are so much easier to manage with an integrated system," he added.
Do you know what motivates the people you want to bring into your organisation, asked Associate Professor Brian Stone, College of Design and Engineering, Division of Industrial Design, National University of Singapore.
In sharing how organisations can use the process of experience design, or UX, to address the challenges of finding and onboarding talent, Professor Stone emphasised the importance of empathising with people and to focus on the future.
"Identify the goals of employees and the organisation, and create a process to achieve these goals together," he said.
With many organisations continuing to prioritise diversity, equity, and inclusion (DE&I), there will be a concerted effort to enhance a culture of respect and inclusion in the workplace, said Dr Vinika D. Rao, Executive Director, INSEAD Emerging Markets Institute, Gender Initiative & Africa Initiative; Asia Director, Hoffmann Global Institute for Business & Society, INSEAD; and Hosea Lai, Senior Director, DE&I, Applied Materials Asia Pacific.
As DE&I continues to evolve, allyship is a critical component for DE&I initiatives to succeed, said Dr Rao and Lai. DE&I, they explained, must not be invisible and is about action, with leaders required to step up and be an ally to different groups of employees.
The Top Employers Institute, which celebrates excellence in people practices, publishes an annual World of Work trends report. The top trend identified by the 2022 report, shared Adrian Seligman, Executive Board Member, Top Employers Institute, is "unleashing the potential of the involved employee."
Reminding that delegates that an inspired employee is more productive than an engaged employee, he revealed that 83% of Top Employees involve their employees in the design of the organisation and work, up from 77% in 2021.
As employees become more discerning in choosing who they work for, Seligman asked, "Who will you inspire next week to solve stay-awake challenges, knowing that you will be turbo-charging engagement levels?"
Driven by factors such as availability and convenience of platforms for gig workers, increase in demand for services that require gig workers to perform, and rise in importance of flexibility as one of the core factors in jobs, more organisations are beginning to employ a blended workforce, said Lim Huishan, General Manager, Singapore & Philippines, FastCo.
Describing a blended workforce as a combination of employees on different contracts, ranging from full-time, part-time, to contract and gig workers, Lim predicted this to continue to grow as a staff strategy, while acknowledging the challenges of managing a blended workforce.
These, she identified, include existing work processes and training, scheduling, retention of workers, resources to manage, and payroll.
In today's dynamic employment ecosystem, salary and compensation, work-life balance, flexibility, and career development are all key factors to attract and retain talent, said Chew Siew Mee, Managing Director, and Daniel Peh, Director of Sales, JobStreet Singapore.
Three out of four companies in Singapore, for example, have implemented salary increases for their employee within the last 12 months.
More companies are also offering compassionate, marriage, and birthday leave to encourage work-life balance, and more than eight out of ten companies are providing remote work support to their employees.
Companies that prioritise employees' work-life balance and career progression are likely to attract more candidates. With employees looking for more career and development opportunities, employers are responding by providing more training and self-learning programmes, Chew and Peh shared.
Rounding up a successful CHRO Series Singapore was a thought-provoking session that predicted some of the key talent trends organisations should pay attention to in 2023.
Moderated by Shenton Sng, Vice President, Human Resources Division, SPH Media, the panel discussion that included Effi Zhang, Head of People, Think Academy International Education, and Jonathan Stewart, Global Head of Talent Acquisition, Enabling Functions, Kantar, highlighted how CHROs need to build agility across their organisations in 2023, and to support strategic plans around their workforce.
This includes understanding business strategies to craft more effective HR strategies, and to create a common skills taxonomy that is robust enough to be used externally and internally, the panel concluded.
HRM Asia's CHRO Series 2022 will conclude with CHRO Series Malaysia, which is taking place at the Sheraton Imperial hotel in Kuala Lumpur on December 17. Click here for more information and find out how CHROs can help to shape work in 2023 and beyond.
