St. Benedict principal returns to her roots in Catholic education

Candace Wallace is no stranger to Catholic schools.
"I grew up in Catholic education…from kindergarten through college," she said. "My only experience as a student was through the Catholic educational process."
Her own faith and educational foundations make her newest role – as the incoming principal of St. Benedict School, Holmdel – a perfect fit.
Wallace, a resident of Hazlet and member of St. Benedict Parish, is married and has three adult daughters. She holds a post-baccalaureate certification in elementary education from William Paterson University, Wayne, where she also earned an elementary education certificate from the state.
Wallace pursued graduate studies in New Jersey City University, Jersey City, earning a master of arts degree in educational technology in 2004, and another master of arts degree in educational leadership in 2006. Wallace has also worked toward her doctor of education in educational leadership, with a focus on curriculum development and leadership, through Northcentral University, a San-Diego based virtual higher education institution.
In a recent interview, she discussed the beginnings of her teaching career in public schools.
"I honestly had no idea how different it would be," she said, reflecting on the contrasts with her own educational roots. "I spent 22 years in the public realm, waiting until the day I could retire and come back to my roots."
Wallace served as a teacher and high school softball coach in Hasbrouck Heights Middle and High Schools, Hasbrouck Heights, from 1994 through 2007. During her tenure there, she focused her teaching in social studies, language arts and computer courses.
For the next two years, she served as supervisor of instructional services for Middlesex County Vocational-Technical High Schools, East Brunswick, before spending the next three years as director of curriculum and testing (K-12) for the Orange School District, Orange. She then spent a year as assistant principal and director of curriculum for Academy Charter High School, Belmar.
In addition to her various teaching and administrative positions, Wallace also spent five years as an adjunct professor in the Department of Computer Information Sciences at Passaic County Community College, Passaic, as well as a year in Brookdale Community College, Lincroft.
From 2013 to 2015, Wallace made her last stop in public education in a post as director of curriculum and instruction for the Middlesex Borough School District, Middlesex. The following year, she returned to her roots in Catholic education, at the helm of St. Virgil Academy, Morris Plains.
Wallace reflected on the special learning environment she has come across in Catholic schools – both as a student and, now, as an administrator.
"The most important piece of Catholic education is the feeling of community that it establishes, (an environment) that is faith-based, and gives us an instantaneous connection – as students to our classmates, as educators to our fellow educators. That shouldn't be taken lightly."
While she values her experience in public education, Wallace said that there is a deep sense of camaraderie and connection in Catholic schools that strikes her.
"I really feel like this is a team that I am on, and we all have the same vision," she said.
Wallace said that she feels "blessed" to join the St. Benedict community.
"What I see here is a community that is well established," she said. "It is secure, and stable. It is a great foundation for educating the students who are in this school."
Admitting that she is a bit of a "tech nerd," Wallace said that she looks forward to ramping up the use of technology and bringing "21st-century skills" like problem solving and critical analysis into more aspects of the curriculum. She also hopes to continue to foster an environment of safety and peace there.
"This is a happy place," she said. "Everybody is happy to be here."


In addition to the prepared text pronounced at the dissemination and launch of the National Strategic Development Plan (NSDP) for 2014-18, Samdech Techo Hun Sen made the following impromptu comments.
I wish to say a little more here. Some of you here, including also those of you who are foreigners living here from the year before, may have remembered the situation from last year. After the negotiation failed, the situation in Phnom Penh was in turmoil. On 16 September, the negotiation seemed to have made some progresses but on 17 September, it failed. However, I was still optimistic. At least a few foreign ambassadors met me then.

Delirium tremens
(redirected from DTs)
Also found in: Dictionary, Thesaurus, Medical, Acronyms, Encyclopedia, Wikipedia.
DELIRIUM TREMENS, med. jur. A species of insanity which has obtained this name, in consequence of the tremor experienced by the delirious person, when under a fit of the disorder.
2. The disease called delirium tremens or mania a potu, is well described in the learned work on the Medical Jurisprudence of Insanity, by Dr. Ray, Sec. 315, 316, of which the following is an extract: "it may be the immediate effect of an excess, or series of excesses, in those who are not habitually intemperate, as well as in those who are; but it most commonly occurs in habitual drinkers, after a few days of total abstinence from spirituous liquors. It is also very liable to occur in this latter class when laboring under other diseases, or severe external injuries that give rise to any degree of constitutional disturbance. The approach of the disease is generally indicated by a slight tremor and faltering of the hands and lower extremities, a tremulousness of the voice, a certain restlessness and sense of anxiety which the patient knows not how to describe or to account for, disturbed sleep, and impaired appetite. These symptoms having continued two or three days, at the end, of which time they have obviously increased in severity, the patient ceases to sleep altogether, and soon becomes delirious. At first, the delirium is not constant, the mind wandering during the night, but during the day, when its attention is fixed, capable of rational discourse. It is not long, however, before it becomes constant, and constitutes the most prominent feature of the disease. This state, of watchfulness and delirium continues three or four days, when, if the patient recover, it is succeeded by sleep, which, at first appears in uneasy and irregular naps, and lastly in long, sound, and refreshing slumbers. When sleep does not supervene about this period, the, disease is fatal; and whether subjected to medical treatment, or left to itself, neither its symptoms nor duration are materially modified.
3. "The character of the delirium in this disease is peculiar, bearing a stronger resemblance to dreaming, than any other form of mental derangement. It would seem as if the dreams which disturb and harass the mind during the imperfect sleep that precedes the explosion of the disease, continue to occupy it when awake, being then viewed as realities, instead of dreams. The patient imagines himself, for instance, to be in some particular situation, or engaged in certain occupations according to each individuals habits and profession, and his discourse and conduct will be conformed to this delusion, with this striking peculiarity, however, that he is thwarted at every step, and is constantly meeting with obstacles that defy his utmost efforts to remove. Almost invariably, the patient manifests, more or less, feelings of suspicion and fear, laboring under continual apprehension of being made the victim of sinister designs and practices. He imagines that certain people have conspired to rob or murder him, and insists that he can hear them in an adjoining apartment, arranging their plans and preparing to rush into his room; or that he is in a strange place where he is forcibly detained and prevented from going to his own home. One of the most common hallucinations is, to be constantly seeing devils, snakes, vermin, and all manner of unclean things around him and about him, and peopling every nook and corner of his apartment with these loathsome objects. The extreme terror which these delusions often inspire, produces in the countenance, an unutterable expression of anguish; and, in the hope of escaping from his, fancied tormentors, the wretched patient endeavors to cut his throat, or jump from the window. Under the influence of these terrible apprehensions, he sometimes murders his wife or attendant, whom his disordered imagination identifies with his enemies, though he is generally tractable and not inclined to be mischievous. After perpetrating an act of this kind, he generally gives some illusive reason for his conduct, rejoices in his success, and expresses his regret at not having done it before. So complete and obvious is the mental derangement in this disease, so entirely are, the thoughts and actions governed by the most unfounded and absurd delusions, that if any form of insanity absolves from criminal responsibility, this certainly must have that effect. 3 Am. Jur. 5-20.

Ten Things to Do in Denver This Weekend (All Free!)
Art Attack: Eleven Things for Gallery Lovers to Do in Denver
Tomorrow: Muse's Market gets the show -- and a tour bus that runs on vegetable oil -- on the road
Susan Froyd
Susan Froyd | April 7, 2011 | 3:00pm
Think of the Muse's Market as Al Gore with music and art, and you might begin to get the idea of what it's all about: Billed as "a modern-day Chautauqua" or a "farmers' market for music and ideas," the Denver-based tour comprises an earnest crew of musicians, artists, a photojournalist, a slam poet and a modern-day environmentalist who deliver a message about sustainability and the future in a two-hour performance. And, as if to hammer in the nail in just a bit more securely, the group will travel to eleven tour destinations around the West in a vintage 1970s-era tour bus outfitted to run on biofuels. They'll kick off that tour at the Eron Johnson Antiques Warehouse, 389 S. Lipan Street, tomorrow at 7 p.m.
After a well-received test run last weekend at the Salida SteamPlant, the group is ready to roll, says musical muse Gabrielle Louise, but when they throw down here in Denver, it'll be in a far less conventional venue: the Eron Johnson Antiques Warehouse at 389 South Lipan Street. "It's a 9,000 square foot warehouse filled with antiques, where they've hollowed out a stage," she notes. And that's in keeping, Louise adds, with the old-timey traveling-troupe Chautauqua theme, as is the tour bus, which is not only carbon-neutral but downright homey inside, with hardwood floors and a cozy parlor ambiance. And in general, they've chosen performance venues along the way that "operate as intimate listening atmospheres." They know they'll mostly be preaching to the choir at this point, in terms of people already looking for sustainable alternatives, but see it as a both a celebratory experience and a chance to grapple with eco-issues in a different light. Following is a taste of what you'll see and hear if you go:
Tickets to Muse's Market -- which features Louise, Panama Soweto, Jimmy Danko, Laurie Maves and speaker Chris Garre -- are $15 and available in advance, along with additional information, at the website.

Yoga means union - a union that is developed and experienced by the practitioner at three distinct levels. First of all, at the very basic level, the union or harmony between body & mind so that we naturally do things which are right for our body instead of abusing our body through an undesirable life-style. Swami Sivananda of Rishikesh, N.India, explained yoga as "an integration between thought, word and deed". The first stage of yoga teaches us 'yama' and 'niyam' i.e. discipline and regularity in life.
The union between body and mind is also at the root of karma-yoga so that any action, even the simplest one, is to be performed with full concentration and to the best of our ability. Similarly, any yogasanas (yoga postures) we perform should be done with one-pointed awareness.
At the next and more subtle level, Yoga means the experience of oneness or unity with one's inner being. Through this union, our thoughts, words and actions conform to the true nature of the soul. The innate attributes of the soul are love, peace, truth, benevolence and bliss. A true yogi can never be morbid, bitter, arrogant, selfish, egoistic, resentful, greedy or violent.
The ultimate aim of yoga is the union between the soul and the Supreme Soul. Yoga arose when man first realised his spiritual potential and began to evolve techniques to develop it. It is the science of uniting soul with God, dissolving and merging the will of the soul into the will of the Supreme, a total identification with the Cosmic Reality. It is a sacred science, the higher practices of which are believed to have been revealed to man in a state of deep meditation.
Thus learning yoga is a lot more than mastering a few physical postures for the fitness of the body. Whereas pure physical exercises have only a physical effect on the muscles and bones, yoga works at a much deeper level and aims at an integrated development of the practitioner's physical, mental and spiritual personality.
Yoga and Ayurveda are sister sciences that developed together and repeatedly influenced each other. Yoga is supposed to be used as a therapeutic tool of Ayurveda for both disease treatment and for lifestyle management. Yoga postures and pranayama treat a variety of ailments, particularly structural problems or low energy conditions, and are among the best tools for keeping our doshas in balance. Pranayama is most effective in treating diseases of the respiratory, circulatory and nervous systems, whose function depend upon the right flow of prana. Yoga is also excellent for psychological and mental disorders because of its specific action on the mind through deep relaxation and meditation. The purificatory hatha yoga shatkriyas are easy to use at home without formal supervision. The eight limbs of Yoga cover the entire field of our existence – from the physical, sensory, emotional, mental and spiritual. With no additional expense and less reliance on medicines, patient care could be optimised by combining Ayurvedic and Yogic therapeutic regimes. Yoga as a therapy was traditionally prescribed in an ayurvedic context. It is a great pity that very few present day Ayurvedic practitioners prescribe Yogic practices in treating common ailments.


This statistic gives information on the value of venture capital deals stipulated in Italy in 2016, broken down by type of investor. Venture capital investment is defined as a temporary equity investment, usually in higher risk and start-up companies with a long-term growth potential. Due to a high failure rate, venture capitalists expect high return rates on their investments. Business angels invest in small startups and are focused more on helping startups at early stages, rather than gain profits over the long run. In 2016, venture capitalists invested roughly 142 million euros, whereas the investments carried out by business angels amounted to approximately 21 million euros.


Both sides are in league action this weekend as Oxford City will entertain their home supporters, welcoming Gloucester City to Marsh Lane, while Oxford City Ladies are on the road once again, travelling to face Newbury Ladies.
Gloucester City are no strangers to Oxford City with the fixture actually being one of a very select few that has been played in both the National League North and National League South. The Hoops lost the reverse fixtures as the sides met in Evesham right at the start of the season, a lone second half goal was enough for the Tigers.
Oxford City Ladies head into the weekend off the back of a cup win that was a certainly not as easy as the scoreline suggested against Southampton Development. They travel to face Newbury Ladies on Sunday afternoon, looking to keep their run of form going.

Larry Fullam
July 19, 1941 - January 18, 2020
Larry Fullam (former bass player, featured vocalist and background singer for George Jones, Bill Anderson's Po'Boys, Connie Smith, Tex Ritter, Johnny Duncan, Tommy Cash & Charlie Louvin) bravely fought pancreatic cancer since September. He and wife Diane Jordan (former singer and Columbia Records artist who appeared frequently over 20 years on The Ralph Emery Show) celebrated their 43rd anniversary on December 19, 2014.
Larry left music in 1990 to become a professional coach driver for Nitetrain Coach, All Access Coach, Music City Coach and Roadhouse. He was driver for tours with Billy Ray Cyrus, Chris LeDoux, Glen Campbell, Beyonce, Aerosmith, Vince Gill & Amy Grant, Adele, James Taylor, Coldplay, Emmylou Harris, Charlie Daniels, Don Henley, Alabama, del Amitri and many more before retiring in 2012.
Born in Leicester, NC, on July 19, 1941, Larry was raised in the Blue Ridge Mountains. He sang and played bass with his own band at the age of 14, then toured France and Germany while with Special Services in the Army. He and his folk group, the Kinsmen, won first place in the Communications Zone Talent Competition and second place in the European Army Command Talent Competition.
After the Army, Larry moved to Nashville, where he quickly began working for major entertainers. He recorded two albums with Bill Anderson's Po' Boys, playing bass and featured as vocalist on "You Gave Me A Mountain" and "These Are The Ways I Love You." He was part of Anderson's syndicated television show for five years. Larry's voice earned encores at major venues with Anderson: Knott's Berry Farm, the Grand Ole Opry, Disneyland and Independence Hall.
He encored at the London Paladium with the George Jones Show. His soaring voice can still be heard by those searching "Larry Fullam" on YouTube.
A kind man who never refused to help a friend, Larry was a NASCAR enthusiast and a member of the Nashville Corvette Club, winning several trophies with his custom-built red Mako-Shark Corvette.
Larry is survived by his loving wife, Diane; brother, Don (Willie) Fullam of Mills River, NC; sisters, Faye Pitts of Asheville, NC, and Gail Redmond of Brevard, NC; nieces, nephews, and countless friends.
He was preceded in death by parents, Fred and Bonnie Fullam, and siblings Luther Fullam and Ann Reece.
Following cremation, a Celebration of Life service will be held, with the date and time to be announced later on Diane Jordan's Facebook site.
Both Larry and Diane send heartfelt thanks to the many friends and relatives who provided support and love during this difficult time and to the wonderful staff at Alive Hospice, Madison Campus.
At Larry's request, please send any memorial donations to the Humane Society of Sumner County, TN, where they adopted Bentley, their beloved cat.

Is YG Preparing for Winner's Debut Next?
It appears that YG Entertainment may be preparing for Winner's debut next!
After Akdong Musician got off to a smashing start by topping charts for this week, YG Entertainment appears to have set their sights on debuting their next group of rookies. This confirmation comes indirectly from the staff working on the music video production, who informed OSEN that they had already scheduled the shoot.
Word has it that the person in charge of Winner's music video production is none other than Seo Hyun Seung, who directed Big Bang and 2NE1's music videos. For example, Big Bang's "Fantastic Baby," which received over one hundred million views and 2NE1's "I Am The Best," which received an even greater number of hits. It seems that YG Entertainment has put Seo Hyun Seung in charge of directing the most important tracks. If the rumors are true, then YG Entertainment appears to hold great expectations for and heavily investing into Winner's debut.
It has yet to be officially confirmed whether PSY, 2NE1 or Winner will make their comeback first.

Home National Najib-1MDB Trial: Jho Low Is The Key Witness
Najib-1MDB Trial: Jho Low Is The Key Witness
Jho Taek Low
The much-awaited Najib-1MDB trial kicked-started here yesterday, Wednesday, August 28, 2019 with a powerful opening statement by the ad hoc lead prosecutor Datuk Seri Gopal Sri Ram.
He has alleged that former Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak's mirror image was fugitive businessman Low Taek Jho or Jho Low.
"In truth, Jho Low was the accused's mirror image," the former Federal Court judge said before the Kuala Lumpur High Court Justice Collin Lawrence Sequerah,
He said the prosecution would establish facts to give rise to an irresistible inference that Jho Low and the accused acted like one at all material times.
Gopal insisted that said Jho Low was a key figure in the scandal and was Najib's "alter ego" through it all.
"The prosecution will prove that the accused, by his words and conduct, made it clear to 1MDB's officers, its board and others that Jho Low was his alter ego."
25 Charges
On Sept 20, 2018, Najib was charged with 25 counts of corruption involving RM2.28 billion of 1MDB money.
Merging Najib and Jho Low into a single corrupt person was not only an ill-conceived political statement by Gopal.
It also implies that the country's law enforcers could be making false accusations against Pekan MP Najib.
If Jho Low was supposedly the mirror image of Najib, is the prosecution implying that the former premier was being charged over crimes committed by another person?
If Jho Low was an integral part of 1MDB case, he should take his stand at least as a witness, if not as co-accused.
But until today, the country's law enforcers have failed to locate him, let alone bring him back to Malaysia to face the trial.
That remains a mystery.
Najib has the right to have a fair trial and Jho Low is pivotal to it, hence must be back to testify.
The prosecution case would fail without Jho Low's testimony.
But Gopal's team is going ahead without the key witness.
Perception Game
The Pakatan Harapan (PH) government has piled up a total 42 charges against Najib to keep him busy in the court and sustain a favourable public opinion.
Many Malaysians already believed that the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) and the Attorney-General Chambers had fixed up Najib with trumped-up charges, not only in 1MDB but also in the just concluded SRC International's trial.
Many commentators in the social media have concurred that Najib was being charged with multiple allegations to vilify him as a guilty person before the court of public opinion.
PH wants to win the public opinion by insinuating that Najib was being slapped with multiple charges because he was guilty of misappropriation of funds.
Or else, he would not have been charged in the first place, isn't it not?
Never mind if Najib did receive a genuine political donation from the Saudi royal family.
That's immaterial.
PH is only interested in crucifying a person, even without tenable evidence, in a court of public opinion, hence the perception game.
Hopefully, the Najib-1MDB trial is not being heard in a kangaroo court before a hanging judge.

James Ward's L'Amour de Cheval.
James Ward lead the way for change in his work, says Janet Menzies. While reminiscent of Stubbs, his art went further and considered the animals' lives and their feelings, as the first major exhibition of Ward since the 1990s shows.
For more sporting artists, Andrew Kay uses the scenery that surrounds him as his canvas. And it is time for us to revaluate the work of Raoul Millais.
Viewing a James Ward oil painting of a stallion can be confusing at first. Is it a Stubbs? The composition, the subject matter, that pose with exaggeratedly arched neck and flared nostrils all seem very familiar. However, Ward (1769-1859) was working a generation later, during the Regency period. Viewed in isolation, some of Ward's work can seem derivative but this will be contested by the new exhibition at Newmarket's Palace House National Heritage Centre for Horseracing and Sporting Art.
Fight Between a Lion and a Tiger, which opens the exhibition.
Acknowledging his influences, Ward made little of Stubbs, even though his early work clearly owes inspiration to his predecessor. Instead, Ward insisted on Rubens as a hero. But his own attempts at allegorical, historical and mythological subjects, including Venus Rising from her Couch, lack the vitality and credibility of his landscape and animal work. Sadly, Ward's great venture into the world of high art, painting the recent Battle of Waterloo in his grand-scale Allegory of Waterloo, was a flop and has since been lost – possibly not a bad thing considering the reviews it received.
View in Tabley Park (1813-18).
Luckily for us, as his career developed Ward resolved this dilemma by being to true to his love of animals. Dr Hardy says: "The great thing about an exhibition is that you have the opportunity to show the totality of the artist's work and put it in context. By having this first major exhibition of Ward since the 1990s, we are able to show his artistic progression and especially the great love he had for working animals.

No matter the size of your enterprise, cybersecurity is always going to be an issue. In this increasingly connected and digitised world, the benefits of technology come with serious responsibilities and security exposures. You need to protect your business from hackers, opportunists, virus and malware.
Secure your private business data through safe IT practices. Aside from considering cloud computing for your business needs, policies and processes help create a safe digital environment for your classified documents and data. Here are ten key IT practices that help protect confidential data and business information through business process improvement.
Your employees and other human resources are essential in managing your system's security. Through double-checking who has access to what specific set of data/information, your IT department gets to outline possible vulnerabilities and set governing processes in securing them.
Review employee access and ensure that they have access to the applications, networks and resources they need in their tasks. In terms of your network, you can initiate this by specifying IP addresses for users. This makes it easier for your team to track users and their network activities. For executive accounts, passwords and access points should be identified and restricted to avoid leaks.
While most businesses have BYOD (Bring Your Own Device/s) policies or are typically amiable towards personal devices for flexibility and practicality, your business should still develop a privacy and network use policy. By outlining what private information your employees can share or retrieve from your network and private servers, the company asserts its desire for privacy and insulation from data theft, vulnerabilities and security issues brought about by personal devices.
Aside from having sanctions, your policies should also prioritise informing your employees about their role in keeping your business safe and secure. Seek to inform and develop good values instead of coming off as overprotective, paranoid and cynical.
Your approach towards IT security should be comprehensive and multifaceted. Aside from having a firewall and password protection for accounts, your business should also have an IPS (intrusion protection system), virus/spyware/malware protection and data backup. Layer your security measures to avoid loopholes and weak points.
Different areas of your business might have different security needs. No matter the case, ensure that your employees see the benefit of your system and that their workflows remain uninterrupted by your security measures.
Secure private business data by defining how to handle them and ensuring that they are in the right place at the right time. Develop processes and procedures to guide your employees on how to properly dispose of or store business-related data. Consider location-based fencing and enforcing time windows to control access.
When hard drives don't have essential data or are not in use anymore, consider physically destroying them to prevent other people from gaining access to it. If possible, links and data stored in networks or online should expire after a set time period to prevent unauthorised access.

St. Paul school is a unique option
St. Paul Lutheran School in Northville is looking to add to its classrooms.
St. Paul school is a unique option St. Paul Lutheran School in Northville is looking to add to its classrooms. Check out this story on HometownLife.com: http://www.hometownlife.com/story/news/local/northville/2015/03/05/st-paul-lutheran-school-looking-add-classrooms/24324681/

The St. Paul Lutheran School in Northville provides an option for families who might be looking for smaller classrooms in a setting that aims to provide the best academics.
It's a little different at this school, with about 40 total students, but in some ways that makes it even better.
"We're sort of tucked away here in Northville, but that's not bad. We see ourselves as a little oasis," said St. Paul Principal Jared Weiss.
St. Paul Lutheran School is a Christian school (preschool, K-8), but it's open to all faiths. It's owned, operated, and supported by the members of St. Paul Lutheran Church of the Michigan District, Lutheran Church – Missouri Synod.
Located in downtown Northville behind off of Elm Street and behind Hiller's Supermarket, St. Paul's Evangelical Lutheran Church of Northville was founded in 1896 and began a Christian Day School program that same year. According to church history, although discontinued for a time, St. Paul's Lutheran School was re-established as a two-room school in 1959.
The present school facility contains ten classrooms, a full kitchen, gymnasium and administrative offices for both the church and school. It offers a complete program of Christian education for students from preschool through grade 8. According to the school, qualified Christian faculty, teach God's Word together with the prescribed course of academic study.
It serves the greater Northville area including Novi, Farmington, South Lyon, Livonia, Plymouth, and other Wayne county areas.
In looking to attract families interested in checking out St, Paul, Weiss emphasized what the school does best, "St Paul's offers great academics, small class sizes, a safe learning environment and is open to all faiths."
The school's goal is to add 20 or so more students to get up to a total of 60. The school is having open houses on March 6 and with the next big one coming up on March 26, which will coincide with the Easter Fair.
Weiss said they are looking to improve the learning environment even more in the coming year with the addition of new technology tools, like tablets and chromebooks, to help enhance the classrooms.
To learn more about St. Paul school go to http://www.stpaulnorthville.orgor call 248-349-3146. It's located at 201 Elm St.

Coca-Cola is one of the best-performing Dow stocks over the last year, up 15 percent while the index has risen around 4 percent in the same period. The beverage behemoth has popped 5 percent in the last two weeks, and one top technician expects the rally to continue when it reports earnings this week.
Since those lows, the stock has jumped nearly 8 percent.
Worth also points out that the shares have bounced off a well-defined upward trend line three times over the last year. In his view that consistent level of support from which the stock continues to rise points toward even more upside in view of Coke's recent behavior.
Worth's third and final chart comes in a familiarly bullish shape.
"Finally, if you leave the bottom trend line on and put in a descending upper line, you have the set-up that I think is, ultimately, the breakout," he said.
"Simple chart, simple breakout bet, earnings coming, and I like Coke long," Worth said.

The little-known Mexican wine region taking on the world
The Valle de Guadalupe offers a hipper alternative to Napa Credit: getty
Luciana Bellini, Destination Expert
Luciana Bellini
Mexico is known for producing a lot of things. Top-notch tequila? Naturally. Refreshing beer? Sure. First-rate wines? Not so much.
But that's all set to change, with Mexico becoming one of the world's most successful emerging wine regions. Or more specifically, one area of Mexico: Valle de Guadalupe, a valley in Baja Norte, just south of the Californian border.
The region, notable for its Mediterranean microclimate and 1,000ft elevation, has been producing Mexico's finest wines for the last 30 years and with the recent opening of several boutique hotels and celebrated restaurants, has put itself on the map for both discerning Mexicans looking for a local tipple and Californians seeking a hipper Napa alternative. After all, the area is Southern California's closest wine region, a short one-and-a-half hour drive from San Diego and just under four hours from Los Angeles.
While the region has been making mass produced, lower quality wines since the late 19th century, it started to focus on premium wine production around 30 years ago, when big players like Monte Xanic, the area's first boutique winery, founded by German-Mexican oenologist Hans Backhoff, came onto the scene. Back in 1988 its wines were the first from Mexico to receive international recognition. Today, Monte Xanic is the third largest winery in Mexico and its most famous creation, the Gran Ricardo Bordeaux blend, is one of the region's most widely celebrated. Backhoff's son, also named Hans, is now at the helm and has transformed the winery into Valle's slickest operation, with state of the art fermentation machines and a beautifully designed modern tasting facility, all glass and sleek concrete.
That's not to say the rest of the area's wineries are similarly high tech; in fact, most of them are pleasingly rough around the edges, overrun with friendly dogs and only accessible via incredibly bumpy dirt tracks. But that's part of the charm. Take Vena Cava, founded by British husband and wife Phil and Eileen Gregory 15 years ago, which specialises in organic and natural wines. The self-proclaimed 'hippest winery in Mexico', it was designed by renowned Mexican architect Alejandro D'Acosta, who built it out of reclaimed fishing boats and other recycled materials, including leftover lenses from a local optician. The result is a striking space that wouldn't look out of place in Shoreditch. The couple also owns the stylish B&B La Ville del Valle, which they modelled on a Tuscan farmhouse, and the celebrated farm-to-fork restaurant Corazón de Tierra.

In the last five years, the opening of several design hotels has given travellers another reason to visit. The most eye-catching is Encuentro Guadalupe, made up of individual glass-fronted eco-lofts that are perched on the side of a mountain and offer staggering views over the valley. Then there's Bruma's Casa 8, a desert-inspired B&B featuring eight sleek suites made out of reclaimed materials and designed by the same architect as Vena Cava. Bruma is also home to a winery that's more gallery than tasting room, filled with Mexican artworks, and the area's hottest restaurant, Fauna. Those seeking something more traditional stay at Adobe Guadalupe, the luxury inn and vineyard founded by Dutch-born Tru Miller in the late Nineties. As well as making great wines and housing 27 horses, available for afternoon rides, the estate produces its own tequila, Tía Tula, which Tru will almost certainly try to ply you with, even at breakfast.
Encuentro Guadalupe
The region is now home to over 150 wineries and all of them know how to party. The biggest celebration is reserved for the annual Fiestas de la Vendimia (the wine harvest festival), which takes places over several weeks at the end of July and the beginning of August and is when the wineries host special galas and dinners to showcase their finest wines. Then there's the newer Valle Food & Wine Festival, which was launched by well-loved local chef Javier Plascencia and is celebrating its third year this October.
But Valle's real charm lies in its quieter moments, when you can sit with a glass of wine and spend hours chatting to the winemakers about their latest experimental blend or hear about what's new on the scene (and there's always something new). Valle de Guadalupe is having a moment – don't miss it.

British Airways flies direct to San Diego, just across the US border. See ba.com. Those in the know drive over the sleepy border at Tecate rather than through frenetic Tijuana and stop for a lunch of grilled squid and octopus at Asao, one of Tecate's finest restaurants.
Valle's hottest restaurant is helmed by ex-Noma and Eleven Madison Park chef David Castro Hussong and is famous for its ever-changing experimental tasting menu that plays with Mexican classics.
Finca Altozano
Javier Plascencia's trendy outdoor restaurant wouldn't look out of place in Mykonos or Tulum and has a menu that focuses on fresh seafood delivered daily from the nearby port of Ensenada. The family also owns the smart nearby B&B, Finca La Divina.
Deckman's
Drew Deckman is the only chef in the area with a Michelin star and you'll find him showcasing his talents in his outdoor kitchen, where diners eat wood-fired quail and home-grown vegetables under the stars.

Olivia's
In the summer, chef Giannina Gavaldon serves up her delicate dishes on wooden tables outside, but in the winter you'll eat in the front room of her family's farm house, surrounded by antique bric-a-brac and photos of their beloved pig, Olivia, whom the restaurant is named after.
La Lomita
Started by former actor Fernando Pérez Castro, this funky winery aims to make wine more accessible to the younger generation by creating labels featuring whimsical illustrations by local artists and serving wines on an outdoor tasting terrace with colourful murals.
One of the smartest new operations in town, El Cielo has an atmospheric underground tasting room and gives one of the best vineyard tours in the area, talking you through each of their vines as they zip around on golf carts. It also has an excellent restaurant, Latitud 32, serving up a blend of local and Yucatan-inspired cuisine.
Vinisterra
Helmed by Guillermo Rodriquez and Swiss oenologist Christopher Gaertner, this small but well-received winery produces just 3,000 cases a year and conducts its tastings from an intimate tasting room at the base of the Miracielo Mountains.

Get Super Lit: Comics Come Alive
Watch here: Pen America / October 26, 2012
With Kate Beaton, Nick Bertozzi, Kevin Colden, Mike Dawson, Ludovic Debeurme, Dean Haspiel, Michael Kupperman, Benjamin Marra, R. Sikoryak, Jeff Newelt, and Harvey Pekar (RIP). Critics like to point out "comic books are not just superheroes," that they're also heartrending memoirs, important nonfiction, and even avant-garde art. True. But you can't throw this baby out with the bathwater because it's got gills; and it's invulnerable; and it can teleport safely back into its crib. The "superhero" concept has also inspired indie, arty literary gems. Some being modern myths, others sophisticated satires, and others rock n' roll adventure time. PEN presents a live performance, by creators & actors, of comics projected on the big screen to a soundtrack fitted to each strip. You will see unorthodox approaches to superhero favorites, as well as original concoctions. Curated and produced by Jeff Newelt.
Kate Beaton begins at 7:25.
R. Sikoryak begins at 43:45.


Waikiki is located in Hawaii's tourist mecca, easily its most popular resort district. The neighborhood lies along a 1.5 mile stretch of world class beach on the sunny southern shore of Oahu with some of the best and most consistent weather on the planet. Waikiki is bordered by Kapiolani Park and Diamond Head to the south-east and Ala Moana to the west, making for the ideal central location. Here is a video flying over Waikiki.
Waikiki is almost exclusively a dense high-rise neighborhood - a mini Manhattan - with many hotels, about 130 residential condos and just a few (old) single-family homes. The neighborhood is mostly surrounded by water, with the ocean to the south and the man-made Ala Wai canal to the north. Waikiki condos for sale range in price from about $150K for a 200 sf studio to more than $20M for the most stunning penthouse at the Ritz-Carlton Waikiki - that is fee simple condos.
Fee Simple means you own the property outright (the most common form of ownership).
Leasehold means you have the right to use - and even sell - the property, but you do not own the underlying land and upon expiration of the lease the property typically reverts back to the landowner. On rare occasions, the association of a condo may have acquired an interest in the land, in which case it isn't straight forward what will happen upon expiry of the lease - as if the case with Discovery Bay in Waikiki.
About 25% of the condos in Waikiki are leasehold. Reviewing all Honolulu real estate - excluding Waikiki - about 4.5% of properties are leasehold and on Oahu, excluding Honolulu city, just about 3% of properties are leasehold.
Some owners want the flexibility to stay in their unit while vacationing in Hawaii and otherwise rent out as a short term rental (just like a hotel), maximizing potential rental income. Please review our guide to short-term vacation rental condos in Waikiki, which outlines condos that allow short-term rentals, the restrictions, property tax matters & more.
Several Waikiki condos offer spectacular ocean views and, best of all, every condominium is within 0.5 miles to the beach. Condos directly on the beach in Waikiki are very rare. In fact, there is only one – the Waikiki Shore, which is also zoned for hotel use. All other beachfront properties are almost exclusively major hotels.
Most condos in Waikiki were built during the 1970's construction boom with only a few built since 2005, including Lanikea At Waikiki, Loft at Waikiki, Trump Tower Waikiki, The Watermark, Allure Waikiki, Cove Waikiki and The Ritz-Carlton Waikiki (1st tower completed early 2016 and 2nd expected summer 2018).
Most condos in Waikiki command premium prices per sq ft and, as a general rule of thumb, the better the ocean view the higher the price. Very little land remains that can still be developed. This condition, together with tight zoning and development restrictions, may create good potential for long-term appreciation.
Waikiki is the biggest revenue source for the State of Hawaii. Nicely maintained by the City, State and the private tourism and retail sectors, hotels and shops spend millions in renovating and upgrading their properties, keeping a large portion of Waikiki real estate looking up-to-date and modern.
Beach replenishment and neighborhood beautification projects have created a stunning metropolitan tropical paradise. An eclectic and diverse mix of residents and tourists with a multitude of backgrounds and cultures come gather here from all over the world.
Three main traffic arteries, Kalakaua Ave, Kuhio Ave and Ala Wai Blvd run parallel through Waikiki.
Kalakaua Ave, a one-way street closest to the beach, with it's Rodeo Drive feel, is home to high-end fashion stores as well as a number of world class luxury oceanfront hotels and restaurants.
Kuhio Ave is a busy two-way street running along the center of Waikiki with a mix of secondary hotels, condos and restaurants.
Ala Wai Blvd is a one way street that runs the whole length along the Ala Wai Canal with a number of high rise condos, most of them with great canal, golf course and mountain views.
Among the condos you'll find a few sparse older homes that perpetuate the original Hawaiian charm, but Waikiki real estate is, today, almost exclusively a high rise condo style neighborhood.
With the feel of being its own small city within Honolulu, Waikiki has much to offer. Fine dining for food and wine connoisseurs; world renowned galleries and crafts for art lovers; an Aquarium and Zoo for animal lovers; penguins and flamingos at the Hilton Hawaiian Village for families; submarine rides for the adventurous; plenty of surfing for the active; nightlife for the young and restless and endless possibilities to create romantic moments for honeymooners.
Start your weekend with Friday night's fireworks and 'Sunset on the Beach', a free outdoor 30 foot screen movie theater that shows a wide range of award winning movies right on Waikiki beach.
Waikiki might be Hawaii's most densely populated neighborhood, but with beautiful green parks, colorful tropical flowers and the surrounding crystal clear blue ocean, the spirit of Aloha prevails and the condos remain a commodity in high demand. With fun and balmy weather all year long, life in Waikiki is like one never-ending vacation.

Had it been left untouched, Waikiki would today be swampland, just as it was hundreds of years ago. It was clear to Native Hawaiians, however, that this land had great agricultural potential due to its abundant freshwater springs. It's believed that Oahu's Chief Kalamakua created an irrigation system in the 15th Century to take advantage of these assets. Soon, taro farming was in place along with newly built fishponds to feed his people.
These farmlands would be overrun 3 centuries later when King Kamehameha's armies landed here in 1794 on their way to conquering Oahu. His victory resulted in Waikiki becoming one of the new Kingdom's primary Royal Retreats, not only for Kamehameha, but also his successors on the throne. The beautiful beaches and waters of this district became the preferred hideaway for every ruler up to the last Queen, Liliuokalani.
The increasing importance of tourism in the early 1900's required firm land for building. For this reason the Ala Wai Canal was dug out in 1928 by Hawaiian Dredging. This drained the remaining swampland, creating the new, solid real estate that was needed.
The years following the Canal's building saw new buildings spring up to serve the visitor industry. This was slowed down only by the attack on Pearl Harbor. That event altered the neighborhood from a resort to something resembling a military base. Until the end of World War II the famous beaches were strung with barbed wire and the Royal Hawaiian Hotel was converted to soldiers' barracks.
Up into the early 1950's, there were still private homes on Kalakaua Ave and other beachfront streets. They'd all eventually give way to tourism properties. One exception was the 1st high-rise Waikiki condo, Foster Tower, which went up on Kalakaua in 1961 and remains a condominium today.
By the late 1960's the streets between Kuhio Ave and the Ala Wai had become widely known as 'The Jungle'. Due to deteriorating structures, crowded conditions and many colorful residents, this area had a reputation as a good place to avoid.
A solution was needed, especially in light of rising land values. This resulted in the demolishing of most of the old wooden homes, replaced by the condos that you see today.
Over 200 years after Kamehameha's landing, this land is now under siege by those looking to conquer their own slice of this part of Honolulu. We call them Waikiki condo buyers.
Buying a home is always about far more than just acquiring property. You're also getting a lifestyle in the bargain. This key factor to real estate is probably more significant in Waikiki than anywhere else in Hawaii.
No other neighborhood has the same level of development, active street life or population density. Those facts bring both good and bad aspects to your life every single day. Before discussing the resources of the district, it's important to look at the Pros and Cons of being a resident here. Without understanding them, how can you really know this is the place for you?
Living in a Waikiki condo is almost the default choice today. Without question they make up the vast majority of the property supply. That's why we look at everything through that lens, because it will apply to almost every homebuyer here, including you.
In beginning with the Cons, it's inevitable that we start with the most prominent element – the price tag. Though not the most expensive zip code in Hawaii, condos for sale in Waikiki are always toward the top.
In addition, they're often smaller than their counterparts outside these 1.5 square miles, a product of both demand and land values. You probably will sacrifice at least some space landing here rather than somewhere else in Honolulu.
Your building, chances are, will be a little older, too. The primary residential area, between Kuhio Ave and the Ala Wai, saw its major build-up in the 60's to 80's, multi-story residences claiming lots that once held aging walk-ups and homes that were falling apart. Most of today's condominiums are from that era, so they date from at least a few decades past.
Step outside the lobby door and you enter a world that has a little more pep than the rest of Oahu. With more people on its sidewalks and thicker traffic, the average volume of your environment might be a little higher than other parts of Honolulu.
The unique setting and conditions of Waikiki present their own challenges, but that's true of any place. Trade-offs are a part of any choice. After hearing about the possible drawbacks, the pivotal question now is – what are the benefits, the Pros, of settling down here? We're glad you asked.
What's better than a Waikiki vacation? Living there year-round. The same attractions that draw visitors from around the world can be yours every day. Think about this – no matter where you are in the neighborhood, you can walk to a beach. Not just any beach, either. These are probably the most famous sands on Earth!
Joggers and Walkers, you've found Paradise. A circuit around the scenery of the Ala Wai Canal or Kapiolani Park attracts runners and strollers at all times of the day, and for good reason. Nothing makes a turn outside go easier or better than spending it in surroundings so beautiful, so calming and so awe-inspiring. Some even jog along, or even on, the beach at off-peak hours. It's therapy for your soul, open daily.
Activities? How about street fairs, like Spam Jam (a celebration of all things Spam), the Aloha Festivals and the Pan Pacific Festival that all spread out over a shut down Kalakaua Ave with delicious food and unbeatable entertainment. Plus that same street is the course for almost every major parade in Honolulu.
Diners and Shoppers will never go hungry for new tastes or irresistible buys. Indulge in tastes that range from fine dining to ramen shops that fill your stomach for a low price. The stores here have an equally broad span, from the most expensive designer offerings to discount bargains at Ross.
Waikiki is a feast for the senses, whether you want to indulge in man-made luxuries or in the free, yet priceless pleasures of just watching the waves roll in the shade of a palm tree. Now, no one place truly has it All, but this neighborhood comes tantalizingly close.
For some, the Cons will outweigh the Pros of this place, but they are a small minority. Buying a Waikiki condo is an ideal and a dream, held by people around the world. How many have done that very thing and come away disappointed? We can tell you – not very many at all.
In a word, the future is Up. The perpetually growing tourist arrivals and buyer demand has created a new boom in raising condo properties, of all types, all over Waikiki. With an extremely high financial & regulatory bar for building traditional hotels here, condotels have become an attractive path to make a profit. The large, front-loaded payoff from sales of these properties will result in new developments of this kind in the next few years, satisfying the needs of both the visitor industry and real estate buyers.
A prime reason behind the construction acceleration is that the special zoning laws governing Waikiki saw significant changes in late 2012. This included the merging of the once separate Resort Commercial Precinct & Resort Mixed Use Precinct. Resort Commercial did not allow visitor accommodations. Now, properties in those areas could be allowed to, which would possibly include condotels.
The strict height limitations have been given greater flexibility as well, opening the door to building higher than before, with more units. Another alteration, which could have the greatest potential for changing the skyline further, is language that makes it easier for smaller lots to combine so larger high-rises can be built there. Something that was not as easy to do before.
In short, the skyline will be getting higher and denser.
How will this impact Waikiki real estate prices? The smart bet is that they will continue to climb, aided by the ongoing improvement and seemingly no end to eager buyers.
Your experience living in Waikiki will be shaped most by a few factors. The leisure and recreation opportunities are always foremost in images of this area, but as a resident you have daily concerns that will impact you greatly. How does the area stack up in meeting those needs? Read on and learn about those factors and you'll soon understand why your life in Waikiki will be richly served in every aspect.

There are 2 grocery stores in Waikiki, both named Food Pantry. The main one stands on Kuhio Ave, near the International Marketplace. Its smaller sister is on Hobron Lane on the west side of the district. Prices are higher than outside the neighborhood, but they do offer convenience. Head up Kapahulu Ave to Safeway if time isn't as crucial to save yourself some money.
As great as the shopping is in Waikiki, the average condo resident will want to explore other outlets as well.
Ala Moana Center – Not just the largest shopping center in Hawaii, this is the largest outdoor mall in the entire U.S. Everything from couture to t-shirts, fine dining to fast food, with more shops and diversions being added all the time.
McCully Shopping Center – A definitely smaller choice, it's just over McCully Bridge. The prime attraction here are the family restaurants that locals love, the kind of places Waikiki has lost in recent years.
King Street – All along King St you'll find small eateries that foodies love to discover, along with local stores that cater to residents. Drive along this road and take in the Hawaii that visitors never get to experience.
Waikiki Health Clinic – the last real healthcare center in Waikiki. Smaller, so appropriate more for check-ups and non-urgent health issues.

The great thing about the beaches here is you can't go wrong, no matter where you lay your towel. Here, though, are a few that stand out even among the riches of Waikiki's coastline.
Ft. DeRussy Beach – the widest and deepest beach in all Waikiki, yet the least populated, too. Enjoy the peace & quiet that reigns here due to its location by the Hale Koa Hotel, away from the central area of Waikiki. It's a throwback to the beach experience of previous decades.
Kuhio Beach – These sands begin at the Duke Kahanamoku statue and ends at the Kapahulu Groin, which extends out into the ocean. Though it can be crowded, the 2 protected lagoons provide calm waters and rock-free beds, providing the best wading and float riding in all Waikiki. Come on in and have a soak!
Queen's Beach – Queen's begins on the other side of Kapahulu Groin and extends almost to the Waikiki Aquarium. The first part, next to the Groin, is the biggest, with a much larger space than Kuhio's next door. It's also the site of the outdoor movie screenings that happen periodically. Head to its east end on Friday evenings for a great view of the weekly fireworks show!
Sans Souci – Another one that offers an escape from tourist crowds. Just on the Diamond Head side of the Natatorium, locals love coming here, often barbecuing in the park just outside. Great waters and even dog-friendly, it's a place that's friendlier and more family-oriented than anywhere else within Waikiki.
What can you do in between trips to the beach? Plenty! Here's just a few of your options to get active, right in your home of Waikiki.

Rainbow Drive Inn – Technically just outside of Waikiki, they've served up local kine food for over 50 years. Very popular, it's an authentic place that's kept the Drive Inn culture alive long after so many others have closed. Get the real Hawaii here.
Nobu Waikiki – Boasts a cuisine called New Style Japanese that's earned rave reviews around the world. Another one that is well on the pricey side, but delivers a full experience for the senses.
