Bentley has collaborated with design students from the Royal College of Art's (RCA) Intelligent Mobility programme to envisage the future of British luxury.
Bentley has always been at the forefront of automotive luxury, and with this collaboration we asked millennial students for their vision of the future.
We wanted ideas and concepts that could potentially lead us in new and interesting directions, using the perspective of these digital natives – from all over the world – to see things differently. These second-year students are the ones who will be designing the cars of the future – the taste makers in training, if you will. That's why the results of the challenge are so exciting.
How do you make tomorrow's personal journey an emotional experience, as evolving culture, disruptive technology, and personal desires change tomorrow's car? Our students tackled that question when Bentley asked them to look at automotive luxury over the next 30 years.
From the 24 student responses submitted, four were identified as being particularly thought-provoking by RCA lecturers and the Bentley design team, who also offered guidance and tutelage throughout the curriculum project.
These academic outcomes considered the impacts of new technologies and craftsmanship on personal transport and interrogated what luxury might mean in an autonomous and increasingly sustainable world.
'Luxury Soundscapes' by Irene Chiu's considered the role of sound in future luxury mobility, with a vehicle that can selectively filter undesirable and stressful noises while at the same time allowing pleasurable bioacoustics to remain. She suggests that soundscape will be a transformative approach to in-cabin acoustics in autonomous vehicles, demonstrating how it could be influential in passengers' health, wellbeing and travel experiences.
'Material Humanity' by Kate NamGoong identified the unexpected and the emotional as qualities that will continue to be appreciated by luxury car customers in 2050. Moreover, she suggests true luxury in the future will be the choice to occasionally drive yourself in an internal combustion vehicle when the rest of the world is fully autonomous and electric. With traditional engines becoming such a rarity, Kate imagines that people will want to see the mechanical workings – just as they do with luxurious mechanical watches today.
'Stratospheric Grand Touring' by Jack Watson took inspiration from Bentley's near-100-year history of groundbreaking innovation for his design study. His vision of future luxury imagines a scenario where international business travel will no longer restrict where people are able live, as sustainable, luxury stratospheric Grand Touring will be a reality.

It is simple, and light, made from three layer eVent, and has the brawny features needed for a four-season waterproof. There are external pockets with waterproof lining, situated well about the harness line, and a zipped internal pocket. The hood works well over a helmet, with a wired brim, and as a ponytail wearer I like the extra volume. The underarm zips are thoughtfully positioned to run along the forearm, effective for venting. The zips are heavy duty, with a reassuring stiffness that has a drawback. It's a fiddle to do up, but worse, it's also a fiddle to properly "dock" the pocket zips under their (really quite tight) protective hoods, especially with gloves on. During testing, my pockets filled with water more than once. This is user error, but when the weather kicks off I don't like having to remember to fiddle zips into place. Weight 466g.
VERDICT: A great value waterproof, if you don't mind the stiff zips.
BEST FOR: Year-round mountaineering and hill walking.

Moya Cannon's new collection reaches back into the long past, showing how traces left behind – textile fragments, buried thimbles, cave paintings – enable us to make imaginative connections with our distant ancestors, emphasising the commonalities of human lives lived many centuries apart. At the heart of the book is the vital importance of art, as the means by which we give permanence to the fleeting moments of our lives; and our need for a connection to the natural world, even in the most mechanised of modern environments. As the train conductor in the title poem asserts, '"I'm going to get a T-shirt with / Keats Lives on it. This time of year, […] when everything starts coming green again, / I always think of him…"'.
Moya Cannon is an Irish poet with five published collections, the most recent being Keats Lives (Carcanet). The mountains, the shoreline and our primal and enduring responses to the beauty of the endangered earth are the inspiration for many of her poems. Archaeology and geology figure too as gateways to deeper ... read more
Praise for Moya Cannon 'Reading these poems is often akin to travelling through time - or being made aware of layers of time before our own'
Robyn Bolam, The High Window
'The unshowiness of her work, the apparent careful weighing of words, is one of its appealing characteristics: for Cannon this seems not just a question of style but a necessary way in which to be true to her own sense of wonder in the world.'
Gerard Smyth, Dublin Review of Books
'Moya Cannon has a talent for the long shot; whole vistas open up in a handful of words... a master at evoking [time's] mysterious slippery quality... [her] unerring pared back poems express [a] deep knowledge and affection again and again.'
Martina Evans, The Irish Times
'A revelation in its range and depth. These poems are written out of Moya Cannon's enduring preoccupations: with history - especially the history of exile and displacement - with music, language, loss. True to the shifts of real experience, sometimes heartbreaking, sometimes ironic, she deploys an understated technique, in a voice that is deliberate, exact and witty. Here are poems, landscapes alive with birds, people and stories, that show us our world, our past and culture through the gift of just, joyful words; they help us to reflect and to live.'
Eiléan Ní Chuilleanáin 'These wonderful poems lay down not just a landscape and a history, but a music which is all their own, through which the reader can enter a unique dialogue between elegy and celebration.'
'In this new collection, Moya Cannon, through intent attention to light and sound and the natural materials that produce them, touches the very principle of life itself. Hands is a profoundly moving set of meditations on what it means to be alive, physically and emotionally.'
Bernard O'Donoghue

GCHQ to snoop through office emails: Anti-spy agency will monitor disgruntled employees in danger of threatening UK security by going rogue
Anti-spy agency has turned attention to 'insider' threats within companies
Will monitor disgruntled employees who could undermine UK security
Unusual tone in emails could now be interpreted as a sign you are a spy
By Jack Crone for MailOnline
Published: 20:55 EDT, 6 December 2014 | Updated: 21:00 EDT, 6 December 2014
Britain's anti-spy agency is to snoop through office emails in a bid to preempt disgruntled employees threatening the nation's security by going rogue.
The Government Communications Headquarters (GCHQ) has turned its attention to 'insider' threats within companies - meaning staff gossip and gripes could now be checked for hidden agendas.
The shocking revelation means unusual language or uncharacteristic tones adopted in emails to colleagues could be interpreted as sign that the sender is undermining the UK's security.
Threat to nation: Britain's anti-spy agency is to snoop through office emails in a bid to preempt disgruntled employees threatening the nation's security by going rogue
GCHQ, the British intelligence organisation which unmasks spies, is sponsoring research at Lancaster University using 'behavioural analysis' to identify rogue employees, The Sunday Times reports.
The university is currently advertising the three and a half year PhD post financed by GCHQ - and paying £22,000 a year.
British spies 'bugged Scotland Yard': Letter claims... Facebook has STILL not handed over five accounts set up by...
The university said: 'The research will investigate the use of techniques from the field of natural language processing to detect the early indicators of an insider threat within an organisation's unstructured internal data.'
This means that the person they hire will study email correspondences among employees who have become disgruntled and who may have an axe to grind.
GCHQ, the British intelligence organisation which unmasks spies, is based in Cheltenham, Gloucestershire, above. The £1.1billion electronic spy centre (above) has been nicknamed The Doughnut
Paul Taylor, professor of psychology at the university, said: 'Instead of ending their email with 'see ya!' they might suddenly offer you 'kind regards'.
'These changes are important and could hint at a disgruntled employee about to go rogue.'
The university say they will be using advanced techniques to predict anomalous behavior among staff.
Paul Taylor, professor of psychology at Lancaster University, said changes in the tone of emails 'could hint at a disgruntled employee about to go rogue'
The aim is to prevent a recurrence of spies such as Guy Burgess and Kim Philby - who were insiders whose behaviour became noticeably out of character.
The revelation comes shortly after a judgement which ruled that GCHQ's mass surveillance programmes were found to be lawful - despite protests from privacy campaigners.
Human rights groups Liberty, Privacy International and Amnesty brought a legal challenge against GCHQ following disclosures made by American NSA (National Security Agency) whistleblower Edward Snowden about mass surveillance programmes known as Prism and Tempora.
They argued that GCHQ's methods breached article 8 of the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR), the right to privacy, as well as article 10, which protects freedom of expression.
In a written judgment, a panel of IPT judges said: 'We have been able to satisfy ourselves that as of today there is no contravention of articles 8 and 10 by reference to those systems.
'We have left open for further argument the question as to whether prior hereto there has been a breach.'
Amnesty immediately said it would appeal the decision at the European Court of Human Rights - there is no domestic right of appeal.
Amnesty UK's legal advisor, Rachel Logan, said: 'The Government's entire defence has amounted to 'trust us' and now the tribunal has said the same.
'Since we only know about the scale of such surveillance thanks to Snowden, and given that 'national security' has been recklessly bandied around, 'trust us' isn't enough.
The Government Communications Headquarters (GCHQ) has turned its attention to 'insider' threats within companies - meaning staff gossip and gripes could now be checked for hidden agendas
'We will now appeal to Strasbourg, who might not be as inclined to put their trust in the UK Government given what we know so far.'
James Welch, legal director for Liberty, which also intends to appeal to the ECHR, said: 'So a secretive court thinks that secret safeguards shown to it in secret are an adequate protection of our privacy.
'The IPT cannot grasp why so many of us are deeply troubled about GCHQ's Tempora operation - a seemingly unfettered power to rifle through our online communications.'

Russian MoD Dismisses Reports of Casualties Among its Servicemen in Syria
MOSCOW (Sputnik) - The Russian Defense Ministry denied media reports about the alleged deaths of Russian servicemen in Syria as a result of an alleged terrorist attack carried out by the Daesh* terrorists.
According to the Russian ministry that called the media reports fake, "there have been no losses among the Russian servicemen, either in the Daraa province on the territory of the Syrian Arab Republic as a whole."
The ministry slammed the information as "deceitful" and "deliberately spread by Daesh terrorists."

For those interested in a rewarding, patient-facing role, the Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) is an excellent career pathway. Sometimes referred to as Nurse's Aides, CNAs are an important part of the medical care team, assisting doctors and other nurses with many essential tasks. As one of the quickest routes to a career in healthcare, many choose to start out as a CNA and then move on to licensed practical/vocational nursing or registered nursing. Read on to learn everything you need to know about becoming a CNA.
Entering the healthcare arena can be daunting. Becoming a certified nurse assistant is a great way to break into the industry without having to commit to a lot of schooling, as many programs can be completed in just a few months. There are many bridge programs available for CNAs who eventually decide to move up the nursing ladder to become LPNs or RNs, so it's a great entry-level healthcare career with room to grow. Aside from this, CNAs also spend the most face-time with patients, so they get to enjoy meaningful encounters and relationships with the people they care for. Simply put, if you are looking for a rewarding medical career, the CNA pathway is an excellent choice.
Keeping the attending physician and/or RN aware of patient changes, requests, etc.
Helping to keep the patient's room clean and comfortable; changing linens, fetching pillows, etc.
Helping the patient with personal grooming, such as combing hair, brushing teeth, etc.
The first step on the path to become a CNA is to seek out a top educational program. CNAs aren't required to hold a degree, but they do need to complete a state-approved certificate or diploma program. Once their training is complete, they will have to pass their state's certification exam in order to begin practicing.
Learn more about CNA programs.
Once an approved program has been completed, students must sit for and pass their state's Nursing Assistant Certification examination. Each state's exam will be a little different, but all will consist of a combination of written or oral multiple-choice knowledge testing along with a nursing assistant essential skills test. The skills test requires a demonstration of 3-6 select nursing assistant duties (such as proper hand washing technique) in front of a nurse proctor. Students will generally be given 3 attempts at passing the certification exam within 2 years of completing their training program before re-training is required.
Certification as a CNA in most states lasts for 2 years before it expires. In order to renew, each state has its own stipulations on how many hours you needed to have continuously worked as a CNA in the prior 2 years. If you have not worked as a CNA for enough hours, your license may be considered void and you may need to re-test and re-apply for a brand-new license. Some states also have continuing education requirements that you must meet before you can renew your license, otherwise you may be required to take the certification exam again.
If you are eligible to renew your CNA certification, and you don't need to make any modifications (such as a name change), you may be able to renew online. Otherwise, your state's board of nursing will let you know how to renew. Any applicable fees will be required at the time of renewal. You must ensure that your current CNA certification is not already expired; if so, you may also have to pay a late fee. If your license has been expired for an extended amount of time, you may be required to re-test and re-apply for new certification.
Renewals typically take a few weeks to process.
Employment outlook for nursing assistants is favorable, with the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) predicting growth at 11% through the year 2026, which is faster than the average for other occupations.
One may also consider joining the National Association of Health Care Assistants (NAHCA).

There is more than one empty tomb in Jerusalem. They have become beautiful tourist attractions. One is viewed from a reverent distance while the other beckons the curious visitor to come inside. It does not matter which, if either, is the right one. He is not there. He has risen. And those who believe in Him know that it is true.
My prayer is for the Father to anoint Jesus' church. "The Spirit of the LORD GOD is upon Me, because the LORD has anointed Me To bring good news to the humble." (Isaiah 61:1) Is it too much to ask our Father for a taste of what He gave to Jesus? It's for the same purpose, that our Father be glorified.
These are not things accomplished in our own strength. Touching the heart of man is the work of the Spirit of God. Without God's anointing we lack the power of His love, His authority and opportunities to serve Him. Not to mention that proclaiming the good news requires boldness.
"…….you do not have because you do not ask. You ask and do not receive, because you ask with wrong motives, so that you may spend it in your pleasures." (James 4:2-3) So, I'm asking our Father to anoint Jesus' church that He might be glorified, would you join me?


Ms. West: Mrs. Morford was affiliated with the Middletown Township Board of Education as an assistant to the clerk. Mrs. Morford could you tell us a little something about yourself?
Ms. Morford: Well, my family was very small. I just had one brother and we lived in a home on Cherry Tree Farm which was a house that my father had built when he was married in 1895. He and another carpenter built the house; the total cost of a fourteen room house was thirty-five hundred dollars. I lived there until I was married in 1928 and then stayed there for about a year or two before we moved to another home.
Ms. West: You had just the one brother, right? What did your dad do?
Ms. Morford: My father was a farmer.
Ms. West: And your mother was a housewife?
Ms. Morford: She was a housewife, homemaker.
Ms. Morford: Well, until I was old enough to work, we just did nothing but play and fight.
Ms. West: What games did you and your brother play as youngsters?
Ms. Morford: Well, we didn't play together too much because he was eight years older than I, but as children we played tag and hide and seek, and other home games, like croquet; we just occupied our time as children. We didn't have all the activities that children have today. So it was impossible to do much of anything but stay on the farm and just be a nuisance to our parents, I guess.
Ms. West: But would you tell us about Middletown? What was the ambiance at that time?
Ms. Morford: Middletown Township was a farming community and most of the residents were farmers. All the surrounding people where we lived were farmers. And they didn't do much of anything but farm.
Ms. West: How was the terrain at that time?
Ms. Morford: Well, as I say, it was open territory, open farms, open land, and not many hills and not much water, no rivers or anything, a few brooks. A brook ran in back of our property. It was pretty flat and not much different than what it is today.
Ms. West: In a past conversation you mentioned about the plank road. Would you tell us something about that?
Ms. Morford: There were roads, back in those days; some of them were built with wooden planks. And there was one road in particular that my father always referred to as the "Plank Road," and it ran from New Monmouth right across from St. Mary's church down to Port Monmouth. It was a short trip but it was one of those that my father always called the Plank Road, so I assume that it was originally a road built with wooden planks.
Ms. West: That was apparently the main thoroughfare going from Middletown to Port Monmouth. Could you tell me about your education? What grammar school did you go to at that time?
Ms. Morford: I went to a one room school for five years at Harmony, where there was one teacher for all five grades. The teacher was a man by the name of George Leonard. From there I went to the Leonardo Grammar School over in Leonard through eighth grade, and on through to high school at Leonardo which was a Middletown Township High School. That was all the formal education that I had.
Ms. West: Who were the people in Monmouth County who might have influenced your life? Could you tell us a little something about them and if there is something that you'd like to say to them that you may not have said in past years?
Ms. Morford: I think my role model was my father, and of course we didn't know too many people except the neighbors. My father was very active in education in Middletown; he was on the Middletown Township Board of Education for nineteen years. During that time when I was in high school, of course, I think some of the children thought I was maybe favored because of my father's position, but I'm sure that never occurred. I earned everything I got.
Ms. West: Is there any particular area or location in Monmouth County that has a personal significance to you?
Ms. Morford: Well, really Middletown Village, and the church in Middletown which is now the Old First Church, which was the First Baptist church in New Jersey, and that was where we always gathered for all our social affairs, which were centered around the church. Actually, Middletown was a farming community, and all of the people would go to the church with horse and carriage. Horses and carriages were the only mode of transportation.
Ms. West: Is the church still standing today?
Ms. Morford: Yes, it is.
Ms. West: Talking about your school, in reference to your school, what fond memories might you have regarding that?
Ms. Morford: I think that my fondest memories were when I was a senior in high school and I was on the debating team. We had interscholastic debating at that time sponsored by Rutgers University. And the team that I was on happened to win the championship that year and we were very proud of it. Former Judge LaBrecque was on the same team as I was, and I have very fond recollections of him. We won the championship. That was a highlight of my senior year in high school.
Ms. West: What schools did you debate? Just the schools in Monmouth County?
Ms. Morford: Yes, it was in Monmouth County we debated. Neptune High School, that's the main one I remember. There was Freehold and Red Bank, and several of them in the group.
Ms. West: Being able to be on the debating team means that you must have had quite a bit of knowledge. Did you read a lot?
Ms. Morford: I read quite a bit when I was in school. And we had a very fine English teacher, Miss Susan Williams, in high school who taught us public speaking and gave us a lot of experience in that respect. So I never seemed to be afraid of audiences. Later in life when I was in political areas I didn't mind getting up in front of a whole big crowd introducing a congressman or a governor or someone that we were interested in. Politics seemed to be my affinity. I liked politics, and I still do.
Ms. West: As a youngster, did you have any favorite books? Or you liked just books in general?
Ms. Morford: Oh, just what we were required to read in high school.
Ms. West: What do you know about your ancestors?
Ms. Morford: I do know that they were very early settlers in Monmouth County. The Hendricksons and the Morfords both were old families and the Hendricksons came from England and my grandmother was a Conover, and that was Holland Dutch. She came from Holland. They came over to this country in the late seventeen hundreds. Most of my family were right around the area; they didn't move very far away.
Ms. West: How was the medical situation at that time? Were hospitals and physicians accessible?
Ms. Morford: No. We had a family doctor who lived in Middletown and my brother and I both were born in the house. We didn't have any hospital experience at all. Until I had my second child, I never went to the hospital.
Ms. West: Who was the first president that you can recall?
Ms. Morford: I think Taft. I remember when I had relatives who lived in Brooklyn and we used to have a big parade there on what they called Children's Day, and I was visiting and standing on the sidewalk and President Taft rode by and he reached down and said, "Hello, little girl," to me, and that was quite a big event in my life.
Ms. West: When you spoke to the President, were you too awe struck to say hello in return?
Ms. Morford: I probably said hello, just shook his hand.
Ms. West: You remember President Roosevelt, I'm sure.
Ms. West: And all about the New Deal?
Ms. West: Would you tell us something about that?
Ms. Morford: I don't remember too much about it. I just remember it was part of the history of this country. His planning and all of his ideas. Of course during World War I we had canning clubs and did food preservation and all of that which was very interesting. Herbert Hoover was the Food Administrator at that time. President Hoover. And we used to can. I remember one year we canned about five hundred cans of vegetables - my mother, my sister-in-law and I together. That was our sustenance for the winter. All the canned fruits and vegetables, because we raised a lot of them on the farm.
Ms. West: Is there any particular newspaper headline that might stand out in your memory?
Ms. Morford: I don't recall anything special in my younger years. Of course I remember Pearl Harbor and all that was very tragic and challenging for us.
Ms. Morford: It was when Japan bombed Pearl Harbor and started World War II.
Ms. West: Did you take part in the war effort during World War II? Anything special?
Ms. Morford: Yes, I was on the food conservation committee for Middletown and we had to go to different places and teach people how to can and also to teach them how to live on a limited income, which we all had to do at that time. We met in different parts of the town, and the county even, and I even went to the state level one time when I gave a canning demonstration up at Rutgers.
Ms. West: And I imagine by this time you were married?
Ms. Morford: Oh, yes, I was married.
Ms. West: And how many children did you have?
Ms. Morford: Three. Two boys and a girl.
Ms. West: And they are all with us today?
Ms. Morford: Oh, yes. All with us, and I have eight grandchildren. I have eleven great-grandchildren.
Ms. Morford: They range in age from one year to nineteen.
Ms. West: With all these grandchildren and great-grandchildren, do you have any hobbies that you could help them with, you know, participate with them?
Ms. Morford: Well, I don't really participate too much with them because I am so much older and they live not right in Red Bank. Some live a little farther away, in Spring Lake and Pennsylvania, and so I really don't participate too much with them. Two great grandchildren live in Middletown and one great granddaughter in Rumson.
Ms. West: Do you have any favorite songs that you might be hearing?
Ms. Morford: I like the patriotic songs and I like the old hymns. Old familiar hymns.
Ms. West: Were there some of these songs you could have sang with your children and grand children, right?
Ms. West: If you were to sit down and contemplate your life up to this point, how would you describe it as a road map? Would it have been smooth, rocky, uphill, downhill?
Ms. Morford: We had a lot of rocky times. We had a lot of times when times were pretty rough. My husband had a very small income and I tried to give my children the best education we could. My oldest son went to Peddie school, my daughter went to Glassboro for one year, and then she came back and took a secretarial course and worked as a secretary. And my youngest son went to Monmouth College. He went to Dickinson for a year and then he transferred to Monmouth College and graduated from there. He was a teacher, and is now the president of the New Jersey Food Council. My older son is retired. My daughter is also a housewife, a mother, and lives in Middletown.
Ms. West: What would you say is your greatest achievement?
Ms. Morford: I guess my work in the political arena. I worked with the Republican party and Mrs. Katherine Neuberger, who was a personal friend of mine, who also helped me climb the ladder in the state women's organization. I was second vice-president of the state Republican women. And I think that's the one thing I'm very much interested in all political aspects. I met President Eisenhower and I was very pleased to do that. That was when he was running. He wasn't the president when I met him. I met Nixon and I met his wife. So I think the highlights have been these people of importance that I've been associated with. All the Freeholders represented in Monmouth County I knew very well.
Ms. West: How did you find working with politics? How did you find working with that today as opposed to many years ago?
Ms. Morford: Well, we always said we had good representatives in the older days. Today I think everybody is in it for what they can get out of it.
Ms. West: So at this point the biggest thing was meeting President Eisenhower and meeting President Nixon and his wife. If you could choose a symbol for your life today, what would it be? What would you choose to represent yourself?
Ms. Morford: We had to turn in a paper recently about it and I said you live each day as it comes, and be thankful for all your blessings. I'm very thankful for my family and for my ability to live here in Navesink House and have the care that they give us here. I think that the life expectancy is so much longer than it was. I never thought I'd live to be ninety-six years old. It's a little bit difficult to think beyond that. One of my granddaughters said to me, "Nana, you're going to be the first Morford to live to be a hundred." I said, "I don't know about that."
Ms. West: Looking at you right now you have a pretty good chance. I hope you get to be a centurion - let's see, who would be president then? George W. Bush will be finishing up his first term in office. And then you'll get the letter from the president congratulating you for living so long.
Ms. Morford: I hope he'll win the second time.
Ms. West: What would you say is the most unusual thing about you?
Ms. Morford: I don't think anything is especially unusual about me; I'm just an ordinary citizen, trying to live a good life. As my husband would say, "If you can't say something good about someone, don't say anything." I think that's a very good philosophy.
Ms. West: Did you do much traveling around Monmouth County?
Ms. Morford: We used to go to different towns, Red Bank, of course, and Keyport, and Freehold, down the shore Asbury Park, in the summertime.
Ms. West: What changes have you seen in the county over the years?
Ms. Morford: Oh, it's a great change. The county has built up so, there are so many people now and the whole climate has changed as far as attitudes of people and children. It appalls me to see the children some days, the way they dress and the way they act, and they're irresponsible. We have it right here with our own employees. We have them come to work for a few days and then they don't show up, they don't call or anything, they just don't show up. There doesn't seem to be any responsibility taught to children. At least to a good many of them.
Ms. West: What were the fads of dress in your days?
Ms. Morford: We wore midi blouses and skirts, and I used to play basketball in high school wearing big full bloomers. We always had to be dressed nicely, and when we'd come home from school we'd change from our school clothes to play clothes. On Sunday we had a special dress that we would wear to church, and the dress code seemed to be one of dignity and a little bit more - I don't know how to express it - but a little bit more dignified.
Ms. West: How do you see the youngsters dressing today?
Ms. West: If you had to live your life over again, or if you could, what changes would you make, if any?
Ms. Morford: I can't think of anything in particular; I surely would marry the same man again. My husband was a wonderful man. We were married for almost forty-five years, and had a wonderful family life. My husband was the most thoughtful person in the world.
Ms. West: How long has he been dead?
Ms. Morford: Twenty-seven years, and it doesn't seem possible. He had a heart attack, and died very suddenly. I've always been thankful to the Lord for that because he would have been very unhappy to have me wait on him; he hated to have me wait on him.
Ms. West: Of course it meant too, that he didn't have to do a lot of suffering.
Ms. Morford: That's right, he didn't have to suffer. My older son was with him when he was very ill in the hospital and he said, "If I don't make it, take good care of your mother." He always had me in his thoughts.
Ms. West: Isn't that beautiful? Is there anything that you feel that you still want to accomplish?
Ms. Morford: No. I just want to have good health. My health is very good except for my knees. I have a hard time walking; I have arthritis all through my whole system. Thank goodness, I don't have the pain.
Ms. West: What would you say are the milestones in your life?
Ms. Morford: I think my high school experience was one, my marriage of course was certainly a big milestone, my children are wonderful and they're all nearby so I see them. They're big milestones. My family, thirty-one of us in all, is a very close family. I don't see my great-grandchildren as much as I'd like to, but I do see them and hear from them, and contact them.
Ms. West: What would you describe as the most important legacy that you would leave to your family and friends?
Ms. Morford: I think to live a good, clean life is most important thing there is. To be considerate of other people and to be true to yourself: "To my own self be true."
Ms. West: What concerns you most about the state of the world today?
Ms. Morford: The unrest and the feeling of wanting to be the top man in everything and the unrest and unhappiness with a lot of people. I think it's very unfortunate that we have to have so much stress.
Ms. West: "Wanting to be the top man." Could you elaborate on that some?
Ms. Morford: I don't know how I can elaborate individually, but I think that the countries all have this wish for being the all-powerful country. The United States has that privilege right now, but you wonder how long we can keep it. Other countries are climbing up fast.
Ms. West: What are your ethnic cultures and practices in religious celebrations?
Ms. Morford: I think I've been tolerant and I believe in tolerance and I believe in being friendly to your neighbor. I am a Baptist by birth and conviction. In my religion I enjoy church but I don't go very much anymore because it's too much of an effort, I have to go in a wheelchair and it's a little bit hard to do. I watch church on television.
Ms. West: So you don't physically go to church, but you attend services via the television. Do you have any stories that you could tell your grandchildren and great-grandchildren?
Ms. Morford: I know my great-grandchildren have asked me to tell them about when I was a little girl and what I used to do, and I think that the thing I enjoyed most of all was the family gatherings and the love of each other. The thing that children probably don't understand today is the mode of transportation that we had. We had horses and carriages, and we used to go to church, doctors, shopping, anything that way. My father had a team of horses and that was the only way we could get around, there were no automobiles until I was about eleven or twelve years old when my father bought his first car. So we really were a rural community, no trolley cars or anything like that nearby. When I went to school, I did go down to the trolley at New Monmouth and ride that trolley to Leonardo. We didn't have paved roads or anything like that; it was all dirt and gravel roads, and very dusty.
Ms. West: When did they start having the trolley cars here in the county?
Ms. Morford: Probably eighty or ninety years ago, I think, because I have been out of school for over seventy years, and we had trolley cars then from Red Bank to Campbell's Junction which is in Belford, and they used to have a trolley that went to Highlands and one to Keyport. That was the first trolley that I remember.
Ms. West: What would you say are your deepest values?
Ms. Morford: That's very hard to describe. My values are to live a good life and not to be too greedy. I've never been a greedy person; I don't think I have, anyway.
Ms. West: What are your personal strengths?
Ms. Morford: I think my personal strength is in my faith.
Ms. West: What advice would you give youngsters today and future generations?
Ms. Morford: I think you have to grow up with respect and grow up to be an honest person and not greedy.
Ms. West: How would you like to see the world, this new millennium now? What insights do you have that you would like to share with us or anyone who will click on this website and read this history of yourself?
Ms. Morford: I would like to see the world be at peace and I would like to also see the families closer. It distresses me to read of so many divorces and split up families and that doesn't seem to be a good core for growth and for a good country. You have to have good family life to be a good country.
Ms. West: Now here at the Navesink House, what do you do for pleasure and recreation?
Ms. Morford: I play bridge once or twice a week and we have a great many programs. Of course I am not able to go out and do the things I used to do. We used to go for long walks and walks in the garden. But I use a walker all the time because I'm so afraid of falling. I don't want to fall and break a bone. I've had a broken hip and a broken knee and broken wrist and I don't want any more breaks, thank you. They have entertainment here and they have church services every Sunday, and they have various programs, music, and lectures. As a matter of fact, I have a great-granddaughter who is sixteen, and she wants to come and play a piano recital for us sometime in the near future.
Ms. West: So you have a pianist in the family?
Ms. Morford: That's right. And she's also a swimmer; she's a champion swimmer.
Ms. West: In high school or a club?
Ms. Morford: She's a junior in high school.
Ms. West: Isn't that wonderful. Did you ever have a nickname when you were a youngster?
Ms. West: Any favorite toys?
Ms. Morford: No, I don't think I had any favorite toys. I used to love to ride a bicycle. When I got my first bicycle I was so mad I couldn't get on and ride right away, I had to learn to ride a bicycle; you can't just get on and go.
Ms. West: You mentioned going to Asbury Park. Tell us about it.
Ms. Morford: It was a very nice place at that time. The boardwalk was lovely. We used to go sit on the boardwalk and watch the people. The people were something to watch, they were nicely dressed and walked nicely and behaved themselves. They didn't wear the clothes they wear today and they didn't race around the way they do today. It was a nice family outing to go to Asbury Park on the boardwalk. Then when I was older and going out on dates, we used to go to Asbury Park to dance at the casino, and that was a fun time.
Ms. West: What family recollections do you have?
Ms. Morford: The holiday dinners. The Christmas dinners. My grandmother and grandfather and other cousins of my mother and father were married on the same day so we always had a wedding anniversary dinner on the twentieth of December and a Christmas dinner on the twenty fifth, of course. And the family gatherings were always a big part of our lives.
Ms. West: How do you find Christmas celebrations today as in relation to how they were when you were a child?
Ms. Morford: It's all commercial now, everything's commercial, it's about how much money people spend on Christmas gifts for children. We had a very modest Christmas. We hung our stockings, and that was Santa Claus's gift to us, and there were presents to open in the morning. We were allowed to go downstairs, take our stocking down, open them, then after that we had to wait until after dinner before we could open our presents. One nice present was about all we'd get. It would be a doll or doll carriage or something like that. That was a big present.
Ms. West: Is there any particular birthday of yours that stands out in your mind?
Ms. Morford: My twenty-first birthday, of course, I remember that. I became engaged right around that time and later my ninetieth and ninety-fifth have all been big celebrations that my family have provided for me. My eighty-fifth, too. I guess they weren't sure how much more I was going to live, so they better celebrate each one that came along.
Ms. West: In a month you'll be having your ninety-seventh birthday.
Ms. Morford: Right. If I live that long.
Ms. West: Big plans for that one?
Ms. Morford: I don't think so. It's on Labor Day this year, and that's a bad day.
Ms. West: Is there anything else you'd like to tell us?
Ms. Morford: I can't think of anything in particular. I know Monmouth County has changed and grown, almost too much. It used to be a big farming community, but now it's all commercial. We have malls and strip malls and stores and the highway is a very ugly road now. I know I came out from Avon Sunday night with my son and I saw that Highway 35 is just one glitzy light after another advertising some building or some business. There is nothing pretty about it. The Parkway, of course, is still very nice, but the county has changed greatly.
Ms. West: So physically, it's the roads and things that have changed, and the population.
Ms. Morford: That's right. It's a little bit hard to understand why we have to have so many riots and so much vandalism and so forth. People don't seem to respect anybody else's property. It's very upsetting to see the way people go today.
Ms. West: This is more prevalent in the county than when you were growing up?
Ms. Morford: Oh yes. We wouldn't dare. I remember when I was a child we had an old aunt who lived with us, and if I wouldn't say "Please" or "Thank you," my father made me go sit in the corner until I would say it. Now if anybody says please or thank you it's a miracle. I have one great-granddaughter who is always very nice. She says, "Thank you very much, Great Nana." She's very sweet about it. All of my great-grandchildren are very nice, very kind to me, and my grandchildren also. But in general today you don't see the respect that you used to see.
Ms. West: Do you think that will turn around some day?
Ms. Morford: I hope so, but I know I'll never live to see it.
Ms. West: I kind of hope so myself. Maybe people will go the other way when they see what is happening in the world and around. It just can't keep going in the same direction; everything seems to be so adverse.
Ms. Morford: Got to have a bond somewhere and tie them up again.
Ms. West: You were telling me about this picture on the wall. Is that the home that you were born in?
Ms. Morford: That's the home I was born in, and it's still standing today. It is now a doctor's office. My husband's old home in Shrewsbury on Sycamore Avenue is still standing, too.
Ms. West: The home that you were raised in; where is that located in Middletown?
Ms. Morford: It was Cherry Tree Farm on Highway 35 and New Monmouth Road intersection.
Ms. West: Do you know what year your homestead was built in?
Ms. West: What about the churches, do you know when they were built?
Ms. Morford: The Old First Church in Middletown, was, I think, built in 1832.
Ms. West: Okay. I'd like to thank you for your time, again.
Ms. Morford: You're very welcome.
Ms. West: I'm sure everyone at the library appreciates you giving us your time and sharing in your life. Thank you so much.


Time to get flashiest suit out of the closet and head to the dancefloor, because disco is back and you have some serious dancing to catch up on.
The Gee Gees is a video slot game designed by Microgaming and inspired by the Bee Gees and disco music.

So come along and prepare your best moves if you want to impress the crowd and land the biggest prizes at stake.
Read our full review of The Gee Gees and find out more about this fun-filled game and the best ways you have to land the jackpot.
The Gee Gees is all about disco and serious dance moves, so what better location than a nightclub to do that?
The reels, paytable and other bonus displays occupy the majority of the game screen, together with the game logo featuring a few club goes who happen to be horses. The background is dark and shows some details of the dancefloor, but the rest of the screen is brightly coloured.
The Gee Gees has a unique and quite intriguing look that should catch any player's eye and make you want to know more about the rules of the game.
The Gee Gees may look a little messy at first sight, but getting started on the reels is actually less complicated than it may seem.
The game matrix is in fact the simplest you can fund in a classic slot game: 3 reels and a central payline, nothing more. You need to make sure as a result that all winning combinations land safely on that unique payline in order to pocket the cash prizes associated with them. Remember that all rewards can be influenced by the size of your bet, so keep that in mind while adjusting your bet settings with the command bar below the reels.
The game will in several occasion award two different sorts of mini bonuses to the luckiest of players. Nudges let you gently shake a reel to move it forward just a little and perhaps land a winning combination in the process. On the other hand, holds let you freeze one or more reels into place for the next spin and add a little strategy to your game. Use these bonuses wisely and you might be rewarded with gold.
The basic paytable contains a fairly large selection of mostly classic reel symbols, which you need to line up in groups of 3 on the payline to trigger the corresponding cash prize.
The most common of them are cherries, bar signs in single, double and triple sizes, blue and golden sevens. The sevens can even be mixed together and still yield a small cash prize. That being said, the rewards for these combinations cannot go higher than 10 times the value of your initial wager.
Keep an eye out for the horseshoes, watermelons and shiny diamonds and you will get a chance to win super big prizes up to 2,000 times the size of your bet. Certainly not a bad start, but there are even more ways to win big and have fun in The Gee Gees.
Keep winning in the base game and you will slowly, but surely, make your way up the bonus trail that is displayed in the lower part of the game screen.
The higher you go on the trail, the higher the rewards you can get on the reels can become. On top of that, you will eventually get to hit the dance floor a play the game's bonus round. Click the flashing square right when it lights up to access one of the mini games available.
Follow the instructions on screen and win extra spins, instant cash prizes and much more. Do not let the party die out and dance until dawn to make sure the jackpot is yours.
The Gee Gees is filled with humour, fun characters and big wins available at every turn. The main strength of the game resides in its bonus round and the many mini games it can trigger.
So let's get the party started and get ready to dance all night long to the sound of disco.

Gorlin-Goltz syndrome (GGS) consists of ectodermal and mesodermal abnormalities. In this case report we will investigate lower extremity lesions of GGS. A 52-year-old man with GGS underwent skull and lower extremity computer tomography. Radiographic findings included cervical spondylosis, transparent areas with slurred margins, and cerebral falx calcification. Tibial and fibular specific cortical lesions (thin cortical and subcortical cystic lesions) were seen on the radiography, which was confirmed by computer tomography. To our knowledge, this is the first report of such a long lesion of the tibia and fibula. Specific lower extremity cortical lesions (thin cortical and subcortical cystic lesions) may occur and these abnormalities can be found on radiography or CT, which are most probably attributed to retinoid treatment.
Gorlin-Goltz syndrome (GGS) is an infrequent autosomal dominant genetic disorder as a distinct entity consisting of ectodermal and mesodermal abnormalities. The gene for GGS is located on chromosome 9 (9q22.3-9q31) and it has been identified as PTCH (Drosophila segment polarity gene patched), the human homolog of the Drosophila "patched" gene PTC (a tumor suppressor gene) (1). The diagnostic criteria of GGS consist of major and minor criteria depending on the clinical and radiological signs and symptoms. The diagnosis is established if two major criteria or one major and two minor criteria are present (2). The patient is most commonly characterized by a broad face, rib malformations, and an extraordinary predisposition to basal cell carcinoma before the age of 15-30. To our knowledge, long cortical lamellar and cystic remodeling of the lower extremity bones have never been described.
A 52-year-old man was seen at our department with the history of GGS. GGS was determined based on the presence of three major criteria (Table 1) (3-5). Therefore, genetic confirmation was not necessary. The first basal cell cancer were seen on the nape of his neck and below his nose at the age of 17 years. Later in his twenties, more tumors appeared on his trunk and face, which reached 2-6 cm in diameter. The tumors were irradiated several times on the patient's chest, back and nape of the neck. Surgical excisions were performed on his face, chest and back and intralesional interferon alpha 2b was injected. The patient was given isotretinoin and he was treated by photodynamic therapy and liquid nitrogen cryotherapy. Additionally, dental cyst and vertebrobasilar insufficiency were also present in the patient. The laboratory tests (including serum calcium, phosphate and alkaline phosphatase) were normal. At the age of 48 years, a skull X-ray showed transparent areas with blurred margins and calcification of the cerebral falx. The patient underwent radiographs of the skull, hand, thoracic and lumbar spine recently. These radiographies showed the pathological bone characteristics of GGS: marked hyperostosis (cortical thickening) of the skull and calcification of the cerebral falx; and calcification of the anterior longitudinal ligament on the thoracic part. Hand radiography images showed degenerative changes and cystic lesions of hand bones, and distal parts of the ulna and radius. Skull computed tomography (CT) confirmed the cerebral falx and U-shaped tentorial calcifications without parasellar manifestation and brachycephaly. The tibia and fibula radiographs showed thin cortical and subcortical cystic lesions (Figure 1). CT of the femur, tibia and fibula indicated thin cortical bones mainly on the distal parts of the tibia and fibula, cortical lamellar and cystic remodeling, especially on the left tibia and distal part of the femur (Figure 2).

Figure 2. Tibia and fibula CT images showing thin cortical bones, cortical lamellar and cystic remodeling in the cortical and spongious compartments.
The diagnosis of the patient was established on the presence of bone characteristics and the previous history of multiple basal cell carcinomas. The large number of basal cell carcinomas, the marked hyperostosis (cortical thickening) of the skull, calcification of the cerebral falx and tentorium, cystic lesions of extremity bones confirmed by radiography and CT match the major criteria of GGS (2, 3). Radiology has an important role in the diagnosis and management of the disease in order to make an early diagnosis of serious complications like tumors. Ultrasound scans during pregnancy also play a role in the early detection (4). Most of the bone lesions can be detected by CT scan. Magnetic resonance imaging is useful in the detection of soft tissue manifestations. Skeletal manifestations (including the calcification of the atlanto-occipital ligament) found on the radiography are also present and they are helpful in making the diagnosis (4). Chest, skeletal, skull and abdominal radiographies are useful in the detection of different manifestations of the disease (Table 2) (3). The patient was given isotretinoin, which is a retinoid, a vitamin A derivative. Retinoids have some anti-tumor effects other than their usual role of reducing sebum production. It has been known to cause premature epiphyseal closure in humans as an unwanted side effect of chronic treatment (6) and hyperostotic changes especially on the tibia (7). Risk of bone fractures was not changed with increasing doses or durations of treatment with isotretinoin in a nationwide study (8). In our particular case, the uncommon tibial and fibular osteal changes (cortical lamellar and cystic remodeling) do not show a clear image of a well-defined cyst in any location. Instead, they rather show a "mouse eaten" like appearance of osteopenic reaction that is most probably due to medication, which the patient had been taking chronically. Therefore, these changes might be rather related to retinoid therapy than the presentation of GGS. Accordingly, these findings are not included in the criteria of GGS. Various skeletal abnormalities such as periosteal thickening, hyperostosis of the vertebral column, disk degeneration, osteoporosis, calcification of the spinal ligaments, and slender long bones were associated with retinoid therapy (9). In contrast, another study has not observed any association between retinoid therapy (chronic hypervitaminosis A) and bone mineral density (5). First-degree relatives should be examined for GGS in order to establish an early diagnosis. Radiographic examination protocol should include a skull radiography (large head, frontal and temporal bossing, and cleft palate) and chest radiography as well (bifid ribs and vertebral anomalies). Calcification of ovarian fibromas is also characteristic. Sometimes, if the major criteria such as basal cell carcinomas, jaw cysts, or cerebral falx calcification are absent until the teen years, other radiological manifestations of the disorder can permit early diagnosis in childhood (4). Patients suffering from GGS are recommended to undergo follow-up examinations in order to avoid the associated malignant tumors and other related pathologies (Table 2). However, the carcinogenic effect of radiation exposure must be taken into account. In conclusion, radiography is a useful method for detecting the characteristic findings of GGS. Specific cortical bone lesions of the lower extremity (thin cortical and subcortical cystic lesions) may occur and these abnormalities can be detected by plain radiography or CT, which may rather be attributed to retinoid treatment than GGS.

SAVANNAH: Insiders' Guide
Forsyth Park in downtown Savannah, GA
No one told me about the moving buildings.
The first time I visited Savannah, I was at a downtown park where George Washington had made a post-Revolutionary War speech. Suddenly I noticed what appeared to be a colorful building moving behind the brickwork and wrought iron of Factor's Walk. I followed the unusual site until I came to on opening between the brown and red buildings. That's when I realize the "moving building" was actually shipping containers stacked several stories high and being ferried down the Savannah River. While freight ships pulling their towering cargo into the Port of Savannah (busiest on the East Coast) are a frequent sight, the illusion of moving yellow and orange buildings continues to surprise me when I see it.
That's the special thing about Savannah: I've been there many times over the last 25 years, and there's always something there to surprise me.
Last time, it was Leopold's Ice Cream, which started business in 1919. Unless you have a local showing you around (as I did), the casual visitor is unlikely to come across this unique destination. Leopold's claims to have created Tutti Fruitti ice cream. If that sounds too sweet, check out a Guinness float made from – yes, Guinness ice cream. Leopold's looks like a traditional small-town ice cream shop, but with a twist. One of the three family members who owns Leopold's is also a movie producer for such films as "Mission Impossible 3," so film lovers will love the cinema posters.
Another great destination for both atmosphere and food is The Pirate's House Restaurant. Originally opened in 1753 as an inn for sailors, it quickly became a meeting place for pirates and scalawags who made port in Savannah. The inn was even mentioned in the Robert Louis Stevenson classic, "Treasure Island." Today it's a large rambling restaurant with 15 dining rooms, a gift shop, and its own resident ghost.
Another "haunted" destination is the Olde Pink House Restaurant and Tavern is located in the only 18th Century mansion remaining in the city. It is located in a Georgian mansion built in 1771 of pink stucco that gives the restaurant its name. The Old Pink House is located next to the antique-filled Planters' Inn B&B on Reynold's Square.

Savannah is famous for its network of some two dozen public squares in the historic district. Each has its own claim to fame, but perhaps the most unique is Rousakis Plaza. Stand on the "X" in the center, speak, and experience an unusual "echo chamber" effect that can only be heard that those within the square.
The city is also dotted with boutique shops along River Street, Factor's Walk and Broughton (where you can browse with drink in hand). City Market offers bistros, galleries, and live music in the evenings. Paris Market offers curios of all types. For antiques, the Noble Hardee Mansion offers hard-to-find treasures. Locals favor the Downtown Design District, with such shops as French Knot, Custard Boutique, and One Fish Two Fish.
If you want to see the famous "Bird Girl" statue from the cover of the book "Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil," she no longer resides at Bonaventure Cemetery. In 2014, the statue was added to the Telfair Museums collection to protect her from possible vandalism.
There's so much more to do in Savannah it's almost impossible to list it all. Take afternoon tea at The Tea Room. Taste the honey at Savannah Bee Company. Buy student artwork at the Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD), one of the top creative schools in North America. Visit Jen's & Friends for a Moon Pie Martini. Stroll down Jones Street, voted among the most beautiful streets by "Southern Living" magazine. Take a pedicab ride on the cobblestones of River Street. Segway through a historic cemetery. Or drive beneath the spreading canopy of Spanish moss that drapes the live oaks approaching the Wormsloe Historic Site. Take a haunted tour in an old hearse, or go scuba diving with whales off Sapelo Island.
The more you see, the more you'll want to see. Savannah is beautiful, charming, friendly – and never boring.

Team Bray Racing is back on track with a full blown assault on the Australian drag racing scene for 2017, having struck a multi-year sponsorship deal with well-known Australian oil company Gulf Western Oil. The iconic team consists of drag racing legend and six-time Pro Slammer Champion Victor Bray and his son Ben Bray, also a fierce competitor and lightning fast driver.
Managing directors (and brothers) of Gulf Western Oil, Ben and Andrew Vicary said, "As long time drag racing and Team Bray fans, we are thrilled about this new venture. In anything we set out to do we always aim to be number one and Team Bray Racing shares the very same philosophy. We look forward to an exciting and successful partnership on the race track."
The Team Bray Racing assault consists of five cars in total - two Top Door Slammers, Two Burnout Cars and a violently fast turbocharged six cylinder powered Toyota to be run in the Factory Xtreme class by Ben Bray. Victor Bray said, "I'm back in black and feeling stronger than ever. We don't plan to finish second either."
"This is a great announcement for Australian Drag Racing," stated Maurice Allen, IHRA Australia managing director seen here placing the 400 Thunder Series decals and IHRA decals on the beautiful looking new livery on the Bray Machines. "To see these cars ready to go with Pro Slammer on them should signal a warning to the rest of the field that these guys are going to be hitting the track with a vengeance and we are really excited to see the potential now with such a great iconic Australian company on board," Allen continued.
"What really excites me," says Victor, "Is to be working with the Vicary brothers and their highly skilled team at Gulf Western Oil. It's an Australian owned company with state-of-the-art technology that can take on, if not surpass, any oil company in the world."

Is it possible to connect the Touch to a PC (Windows 8.1)? Or does a product already exist that will talk to the Touch?
We currently don't support PC linking with the Touch. The Touch links to the following smartphones/tablets found here: http://www.striiv.com/supported-devices-touch/. Our Smart Pedometer does link with a PC, but it lacks the notifications, sleep tracking and various other features that the Touch possesses.
This is very deceiving. On the packaging, there is a pic of a laptop, but there is no option to download an app to a laptop. That is the only reason I bought it. Very disappointed. This was a waste of time researching and now returning to the store.

Know Their Names
Columbia's Oliver Gospel Mission plans a new coffee shop to help educate men in the program
Caroline Williamson | December 14, 2019 | 11:29am
I was introduced to Eleanor by Samuel Pagan, the head of the Food Services at the Oliver Gospel Mission. Thirteen hundred pounds of metal and "all kinds of awesomeness," Eleanor, a coffee roaster, stands as a symbol of perseverance for the Oliver Gospel Mission's latest project; a program that will teach men business skills as well as how to make and serve coffee, a skill that is becoming more and more trendy and practical. Samuel Pagan, the head of Food Services, got her on September 19.
Lawson Estridge
"This is Eleanor. I thought about her name when she came in in September. I have actually prayed over her because of the impact she will have for as long as she has breath in her. Eleanor Roosevelt has a lot of quotes but this is key. She says, 'No one can make you feel inferior without your consent.' And that's why she has the name Eleanor. I want these men to know that they are human beings; they are not beneath me and I am here to serve them, it's not the other way around. If it wasn't for them I wouldn't have a job, if it wasn't for them I wouldn't have a purpose, I would feel empty." Pagan explains.
Around two and a half years ago, a conference was held for like-minded rescues like the Oliver Gospel Mission.
"Rosewood rescue mission in California has a roasting business for their men at their program," Pagan says. "That was the genesis of our project. My boss who got that information at a meeting came running up to me and asked 'what do you know about coffee as a chef?'"
"I said, 'well, I know a lot.'"
Having done some research, Pagan's project began. The Oliver Gospel Mission has a similar work therapy program, but many men end up relapsing after a year. "We ask people to contribute in the kitchen, and not everybody wants to cook. Not everybody wants to be working in a restaurant. Now, keep in mind these men don't have a proper education, and they have been on the streets for a long while and their addictions can get the best of them; through meth, coke, alcohol- it doesn't matter," Pagan explains.
The program's initial teachings will be on the Gospel. "We are focused on the gospel of Christ. That precious gift from our side is salvation and to tell others about Christ," Pagan says on the mission.
In addition to an education in faith, men in the program will learn practical life skills, such as balancing checks, how to maintain an income and how to keep a job.
"We want to contribute in-depth. We not only want to score the surface but to dig deep into where the roots of the problem are and challenge a man to stay the course because this job here, as a coffee roaster or a barista, it comes with dignity. The trendiness of it, the clients, the sophistication of what you're making and the craft thats involved with it all comes to: 'I'm contributing to my citizens, to my community. I'm making a difference and I feel good about it.'"Pagan discusses.
The program will also allow men to achieve a certificate called ServSafe that allows them to work in the food industry. "That's going to equip them to have a better step up. So you have a prison record, so you don't have a high school degree, but you have something," Pagan says.
In a culture full of snap judgments and moral superiority complexes, knowing someone's name can be powerful.
"You can't look at someone and say 'look at this drunk over there, that guy is high and can't get out of that. You know, sometimes I feel like I put them in that box that they can't get out of. I come at six in the morning, I park across the street, and there are men lined up on the street waiting to go to Chapel. There are men that just came out of breakfast that I supply … and I know their names."

Q: Converting Uint16 to string in C i'm trying to use SDL and read user input, for that I need to convert Uint16 to string, here is my code:
      if( event.type == SDL_KEYDOWN )
                {

                    if( strlen(str) <= 16 )
                    {
                        if( ( event.key.keysym.unicode >= (Uint16)'a' ) && ( event.key.keysym.unicode <= (Uint16)'z' ) )
                        {
                            //imprimir("espaco");
                            //strcat(str, (char*)event.key.keysym.unicode);
                            imprimir((char*)event.key.keysym.unicode);
                        }
}
}

i can't make it work, I already tried itoa, atoi, strcat, summing event.key.keysym.unicode to a int then converting to char, i'm new to C, thanks

A: Do you want to have the key-code (the number)?
char buffer[16];
snprintf(buffer, sizeof(buffer), "%d", event.key.keysym.unicode);
imprimir(buffer);

Or do you want the representing character?
char buffer[2];
snprintf(buffer, sizeof(buffer), "%c", event.key.keysym.unicode);
imprimir(buffer);

A: Have you tried sprintf? http://www.cplusplus.com/reference/clibrary/cstdio/sprintf/

While Calibrachoa million bells may be a fairly new species, this dazzling little plant is a must-have in the garden. Its name comes from the fact that it features hundreds of small, bell-like flowers that resemble miniature petunias. Its trailing habit makes it perfect for use in hanging baskets, containers or as a small area ground cover.
Calibrachoa, commonly called million bells or trailing petunia, is a tender perennial that produces mounds of foliage, growing only 3 to 9 inches tall, along trailing stems and flowers in shades of violet, blue, pink, red, magenta, yellow, bronze and white. Introduced in the early 1990s, all cultivars of Calibrachoa are hybrids with the original species native to South America. They are prolific bloomers from spring to frost. The plant is winter hardy and is most commonly grown as an annual in cooler climates or a perennial in mild ones.
Growing Calibrachoa million bells is easy. They prefer to be grown in moist but well-drained, organically rich soil in full sun. They do not tolerate high pH soils, though the plants will take very light shade and may tolerate some drought. In fact, plants with some shade will survive longer into the summer months, especially in warmer regions. Purchase or plant your seedlings in spring and set out after the last frost in your area.
Caring for million bells flower is minimal. The soil should be kept fairly moist but not soggy, especially in full sun areas as they may succumb to the intense heat of summer. Container plants require more watering. Calibrachoa care includes periodic fertilizer applications in the garden, though you may need to fertilize more regularly when in a container or hanging basket. Deadheading this plant is not required, as it is considered to be self-cleaning, meaning the spent flowers readily drop following bloom. You can, however, pinch Calibrachoa back regularly to encourage a more compact growth habit.
Plants produce little seed, if any, and must be vegetatively propagated. However, most of these hybrid cultivars are patented (trademark of the Suntory company), which prohibits Calibrachoa propagation in commercial markets. You can, however, propagate your own plants for personal use through cuttings that are overwintered indoors. Try to find a stem that has small buds but no flowers on it. Cut this stem off at least 6 inches from the tip, removing any lower leaves. Place your cuttings in an equal mix of half potting soil and half peat moss. Water well. Keep the cuttings moist and warm (about 70 F. (21 C.), placing your future million bells flower in bright light. Roots should begin to develop within a couple weeks.

JERUSALEM – An Israeli rights group says it's suing Facebook for $1 billion on behalf of families of victims of Palestinian attacks.
The Shurat Hadin group is claiming the social network provides militant groups with a platform for spreading violence. It says it's filing the suit in a New York court on Monday.
The victims cited in the suit were all American. The plaintiffs include the family of Taylor Force, a 28-year-old American veteran who was stabbed to death by a Palestinians attacker while visiting Israel in March.
