Williamsburg County approving paving, InnovaPad contracts

KINGSTREE, S.C. – During their second meeting in April, Williamsburg County Council members approved several business contracts and agreements.

Council members okayed an ordinance that updates an older agreement for a joint county industrial park with Georgetown County that is in that county. First executed in the mid-1990s, according to County Attorney Billy Jenkinson, the ordinance adds a parcel of land to the site.

Upon the recommendation of the bid committee, presented by Council member Franklin Fulmore, council agreed to accept the low bid of Palmetto Corporation of Conway to repave five county roads. That bid is for $1,033,156.81. Council also agreed to accept the low bid of PSI of Conway to pave the parking lot of the Williamsburg County One Stop near Hemingway. That bid is for $25,554.

Resolutions approving the low bids also authorized County Supervisor Stanley Pasley to carry out the contracts.

Council passed a proclamation acknowledging May as Older Americans Month and passed a resolution recognizing May 11-15 as National Transportation Week.

Council also created an agreement continuing to acknowledge the service by the Waccamaw Workforce Development Area. The area was created under the Workforce Investment Act of 1998 and is now operating under the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act. As such the names of the consortium has changed, but not the intent and service done, Pasley explained.

WDA serves Georgetown, Horry and Williamsburg counties and some of its funding is passed through the Waccamaw Regional Planning Council. The new agreement, signed by all counties, reflects these changes.

Council members agreed to accept a quit claims deed to the old Chavis Elementary property on U.S. Highway 41-51 just south of the Hemingway city limits. The county has been leasing the property from the Williamsburg County School District and is now taking over the 20-acre site.

The school district will continue its use of four classrooms in the facility, according to the agreement. Also in keeping with the agreement, the facility must always be used as a public building and can’t be sold for another purpose, County Attorney Billy Jenkinson explained.

Council members agreed to allow InnovaPad of Greenville to become the billing source for the Williamsburg County Fire Department’s new accident assessment fee. In 2013 the software company launched it’s I-Pad-based software package as a way to help fire departments access revenue. InnovaPad’s cost recovery software allows firefighters to quickly gather information needed to file insurance claims when they respond to large vehicle accidents.

InnovaPad keeps 25 percent of the assessed fee and the county fire department will receive 75 percent of the fee. The fee helps the county offset costs associated with responding to traffic accidents, which it is mandated by state law to do, County Fire Chief Randy Swinton told council.

Council’s next meeting is set for May 19.

 NYS Department of Corrections and Community Supervision

Department of Corrections and Community Supervision

New York State
Department of Correctional Services
Glenn S. Goord, Commissioner

Office of Public Information
[518] 457-8182

For immediate release:

4 PM on Thursday, June 7, 2001

Correctional Services honors 33 employees who died in the line of duty;
recognizes 1 current employee with Medal of Honor, 2 others with Medal of Merit

As bagpipers played, Taps echoed and a rifle squad fired a 21-gun salute, the Department of Correctional Services at 4 p.m. today awarded three current employees medals for extraordinary service last year while honoring the memory of 33 employees who died in the line of duty as the result of inmate actions since 1861.

Among the more than 1,000 guests attending the ceremony at the permanent memorial on the grounds of the Training Academy in Albany were approximately 50 family members of some of the 33 employees who lost their lives as the result of inmate actions. Also present were 10 of the hostages from the 1971 riot at Attica and their family members. The ceremony was held during the June 5-9 statewide employee Olympics in Albany to allow the 1,750 participants to attend.

In proclaiming June 3-9 as Correctional Services Employee Week, Governor George E. Pataki wrote, "it is fitting that New Yorkers remember and commend all Correctional employees carrying out their perilous and challenging duties with the greatest professionalism and attentiveness to public safety."

Of the 33 fallen employees being remembered today, Governor Pataki said in a statement, "It has been said that the great majority of people shrink from the ultimate sacrifice, but there are a few who make it with courage and honor. These few are the heroes of humanity."

As part of the ceremony, Commissioner Glenn S. Goord awarded:

  • The Medal of Honor for bravery to Officer Glen H. Williams of Green Haven. He repeatedly placed himself between an armed inmate and Deputy Superintendent George Schneider on September 27, 2000, to block the inmate's knife attacks in a prison yard on the prison's chief security officer. He escorted Mr. Schneider, who sustained multiple stab wounds, from the yard and then returned to help disarm the inmate. CO Williams, 38, has been an Officer since 1986.
  • A Medal of Merit for extraordinary performance to Officer Gary L. Mitchetti of Green Haven. He was stabbed twice while helping other Officers to disarm and control the inmate attacking Mr. Schneider. CO Mitchetti, 28, has been an Officer since 1997.
  • A Medal of Merit for exceptional contribution to Officer Thomas R. Cassidy while assigned to Arthur Kill. He came to the aid of victims of a January 16, 2000, fiery multiple-vehicle accident on the Belt Parkway in Brooklyn. He assisted in removing victims from a burning vehicle and then came to aid of the injured in a second vehicle. He then assisted the efforts of medical and other rescue personnel. CO Cassidy, 30, has been an Officer since 1998. He is now assigned as an investigator in the Long Island City office of the Department's Office of the Inspector General.

In his proclamation, Governor Pataki cited "the resourcefulness and dedication of outstanding Correctional employees" who are recognized through the annual medals ceremony.

In his letters to each of the medals recipients, the Governor wrote "You carry on the admired traditions of professionalism, valor and excellence which have long been the standard of the 32,000 men and women who work in 70 correctional facilities throughout the Empire state." (Both the Governor's proclamation and his letters to the medal recipients can be downloaded from the Department's website.)

Senate Codes Committee Chairman Dale M. Volker of Depew, the Senate representative speaking at the ceremony whose district includes Attica, said, "The individuals we recognize today powerfully remind us of the suffering and sacrifices made to ensure our safety from those who simply cannot abide by our laws. Today's tribute is a constant reminder that freedom is never free; it is a gift, selflessly purchased by others and at times at great personal cost. The names inscribed in Correctional Services' memorial room and commemorated by the memorial itself are not simply names, but a vivid reminder and warning of the perils and the price of complacency in our still dangerous and unpredictable world of Corrections."

Assemblyman Ronald Canestrari, the Deputy Majority Leader whose district includes part of Albany County, said, "Working in our correctional facilities is a difficult and dangerous job. Today's ceremony serves as a reminder that the important work these employees perform deserves recognition and commendation. I am honored to take part in this ceremony and acknowledge that one of our chief goals in society is to keep our citizens safe, and the work of our Correctional officers and civilian employees helps advance that goal in a meaningful and critical manner."

Commissioner Goord said, "Today is an important day. It is the day when we officially recommit ourselves to our future by remembering our past and present. It is through the on-going dedication, vigilance and hard work of all of our employees that we maintain the security and safety of our prisons. I appreciate the efforts of all of our employees. They led last year to the lowest rates in 20 years of inmate assaults on staff and other inmates."

The 33rd name added to the memorial this year is that of Clinton shop foreman Joseph A. Weitekamp. After inmates had finished working in the clothing shop on March 18, 1922, he discovered a fire under a cutting table in the shop. After telephoning for assistance, he returned to fighting the fire alone while awaiting reinforcement. Eleven days later, he died from burns and smoke inhalation.

Commissioner Goord said, "As we said during last year's dedication ceremony, we will continue to search our records to document the names of other employees who deserve to be added to this memorial. I am gratified that we have been able to confirm Mr. Weitekamp's ultimate sacrifice and add his name to this place of honor and remembrance."

The deceased employees now total 25 uniformed personnel and eight civilians; the total includes three women. The total comes from Attica (12), Auburn (six), Clinton (six), Sing Sing (three) and one each from Elmira, Fishkill, Eastern, Green Haven and Great Meadow prisons, plus one employee who worked in New York City in the parole division when it was part of Correctional Services until 1977.

Among them are the 11 who died in the 1971 riot at Attica. Three others held the title of Principal Keeper (now Deputy Superintendent for Security) at Auburn when they were killed by inmates in 1927, 1929 and 1930. Another was a Sing Sing Officer killed in 1916 by an escaping death row inmate who was recaptured and executed eight days later. Still another was a hospital attendant killed by a criminally insane inmate at Matteawan State Hospital (now Fishkill prison) only four days before she was to leave to attend nursing school. Another was Green Haven Correction Officer Donna Payant, murdered by an inmate in 1981. CO Payant remains the only female Officer in New York to die in the line of duty.

The ceremony took place at the permanent memorial park dedicated in 2000 on the 50-acre Academy campus. The centerpiece of the memorial park in front of the Academy is an Empire blue granite memorial that stands 12 feet high, six feet wide, 18 inches deep and weighs 19,711 pounds. It is inscribed:

"In honor of the brave men and women of the Department of Correctional Services who gave their lives in the performance of their duties on behalf of all the people of the State of New York."

No names are inscribed on the memorial stone. Instead, each honoree's name, identifying details and cause of death are inscribed on plaques located in the memorial room of the adjoining Academy.

The park surrounding the memorial is landscaped and decorated with assorted flowers, trees and shrubberies; an outer two-foot-high circular concrete retaining wall; park benches; lighting and 40 ballards with approximately 130 feet of decorative chains. A "memorial mall" of stone, highlighted by three flag poles (displaying the national, state and MIA flags), connects the monument site with the entrance to the Academy.

The Academy itself was constructed in 1952 by the Roman Catholic Diocese of Albany as the Mater Christi Seminary. The Department leased the facility and grounds in 1973 and purchased the complex in 1987. Approximately 1,000 Correction Officer recruits train at the facility in an average year, with an equal number of higher-level staff receiving specialized training there annually. The Academy has a staff of approximately 45.

The Blog of

C4 awards
Posted Thursday, 12 February 2009 at 12:17

Last night, I arrived at Channel 4 looking like mad Mary from the mission (a Liverpool expression).

Having been up since six, I didn’t even have time to brush my hair before my bag was taken from me and deposited in a cloakroom. I was escorted to my seat, which was next to the totally glamorous and groomed Arleen Phillips,the Strictly Come Dancing judge, and on the other side Vince Cable MP.

I was short listed with Ken Clarke, David Cameron and Vince Cable for the Opposition Parliamentarian of the Year Award.

Frankly, having made it onto that list was an achievement and a big win in itself as far as I was concerned.

Vince won a couple of awards and because Arleen was presenting Peter Mandelson's the cameras were around a great deal. I think the programme, which goes out on Saturday night, may contain a certain amount of footage of a dishevelled make-up less me so be warned, don’t watch!

It was a very showbiz glamorous evening. When the awards were over, John Whittingdale MP, Chair of the Culture, Media and Sport Select Committee, and I had a drink, and were joined by a very nice man, who asked me what I had thought of the evening. I launched into how every award had been won by a left wing MP, book or blog, and how even the presenters had a left wing bias; and considering Channel 4 was asking the Government for money, I don’t suppose we could be surprised. I said there should have been more balance. Not in a sour grapes way because frankly, never in a million years did I expect or want to win; however, the bias was just so blatant.

For example, on the blogging table was Derek Draper, former Brown advisor, whose new blog is an unmitigated disaster, and already considered a joke amongst bloggers, with John Prescott leaving him in the shade. Iain Dale and Tim Montgomerie, the true blogging celebrities, hadn’t even been invited!

The nice man drank up and took his leave and someone else almost immediately took his place.

John said to the second visitor, "Hi yes, come and join us. Nadine has just been giving the Chief Executive of Channel 4 an appraisal of the show."

I had NO idea he was the Chief Executive, now I feel really bad!

A big thank you for the lovely things journalist Amanda Platell said about me during the show and Claire Ward MP the Labour whip; and to Eric Pickles MP, I’m looking for you. There is nowhere for a man of your size to hide in the voting lobby!

Water Heater Installation And Repair

Drain Pro Plumbing installs, maintains, and repairs all type of water heaters, and we can help you decide which is the best type and size for your water needs.

We can also help you evaluate when it’s time to replace your existing water heater. Sometimes it’s more economical to replace an older heater, because the new models are energy efficient and save you money on the fuel source.

Water heaters have finite lifetimes, usually between 8 and 15 years. Good annual maintenance and drainage can make sure your water heater performs well for as long as possible. Insulating your water heater tank can help save on your costs.

It’s important to have a professional install your water heater, so that it will be done according to local code and with all the necessary safety features. You need a licensed, qualified plumber who is experienced in all kinds of installation sites and types of heaters.

Drain Pro Plumbing has the experienced professionals to assess your job. We’ll give you a fair estimate and stick to it.

A new water heater is one of the most common home improvement investment that homeowners make, so it’s important to consider all the options and do it right.

According to the Environmental Protection Agency, water heating is the second largest energy use in the home, accounting for 14 to 18 percent of your utility bills. For the average household, this amounts to $400 to $600 per year.

Which water heater is best for you?

There are many new water heater options, each with its pros and cons:

* Electric water heaters

* Electric heat pump water heaters

* Solar water heaters

* Tank-less water heaters

* Gas water heaters

* Hybrid electric water heaters

Drain Pro can help you compare fuel costs and energy efficiency for the various types of water heaters. You can also check out this Department of Energy tutorial.

A popular option to consider is a tank-less water heater. This is more costly to purchase and install, but it has a longer lifetime (20+ years) and is 8 to 34 percent more energy efficient. This can save you $100 a year or more, compared with a storage tank-type water heater.

If you’re in the market for a new water heater, call Drain Pro Plumbing (253) 236-5000.

We’re happy to give you an estimate, and we offer $65 off for all first-time customers.

It happens. If you notice that the residue isn't washing out, get a small travel sized bottle of clarifying shampoo from the travel section of any grocery store or drug store. You should only need to use it once, maybe twice. You only need the small bottle because you don't need much and, hopefully, should never need to use it again

Christina’s Comet is one of eight 2-year-old fillies entered to run six furlongs in the Prairie Gold Lassie and might go off as the second choice to Country Candy.

Felicianos win with Pyrite Bonds

NORTH RANDALL, Ohio - Trainer Miguel A. Feliciano, who has seven stakes wins from 22 starts this year, and jockey Ricardo Feliciano, Miguel's nephew and leading rider in Ohio stakes races, teamed to win the $40,000 Ohio Debutante Handicap with Pyrite Bonds at Thistledown on Saturday.

A 3-year-old by Formal Dinner, Pyrite Bonds broke alertly to make the lead a few strides out of the gate, set the pace with quick fractions, and prevailed by a length over heavily favored Bold Passage. It was another 2 3/4 lengths back to Noon Win, who finished third.

Pyrite Bonds ran the six furlongs in 1:11.60 and paid $15.40.

"She seems to be a nervous horse and sometimes she breaks well and sometimes she doesn't." "Today, we got lucky," Miguel Feliciano said.

"She's been training real well prior to this race," Ricardo Feliciano said. "Last race we had a bad break, plus she got a little tired and I didn't want to knock her out.

"I knew if we had a good break, she would be tough today. She's pretty rapid and has some class to her."

You Bought Her springs 16-1 surprise in Minaret

John Duca/SV Photography
You Bought Her, ridden by Brian Pedroza, pays $35.60 for winning the Minaret.

OLDSMAR, Fla. - Charging down the middle of the racing strip under a strong ride by Brian Pedroza, 16-1 shot You Bought Her ran down favored R Free Roll in the closing strides to capture the $50,000 Minaret Stakes for fillies and mares by a half-length Saturday at Tampa Bay Downs.

You Bought Her, who earned her third win from four lifetime starts over the Tampa main strip, raced in midpack through the early going as R Free Roll cut blistering fractions of 21.96 and 44.78 seconds.

Turning for home, R Free Roll drew off a bit to the furlong marker but Pedroza had You Bought Her in high gear in the middle of the track and through the final furlong that pair wore down the leader, getting up in the shadow of the wire. The winning time for six furlongs was 1:09.92.

You Bought Her, who is trained by David Hinsley, returned $35.60 while earning the $30,000 winner’s share of the Minaret. Puddifoot, who threatened outside leaving the turn, weakened in the drive to finish third.

As Anthea owns up to Botox, is it time we all came clean?

Former Blue Peter presenter, Anthea Turner has recently revealed that she has had Botox to deal with two frown lines that she has been battling with for years. The 55 year old spoke to the Daily Star, and has condemned other celebrities for keeping quiet about their cosmetic work: “How can you say you’re all natural when everyone knows it’s not true at all?”

To tell or not to tell

So, is Ms Turner right to say we should all be more honest about what we’ve had done? As a London cosmetic doctor, I see patients from all walks of life, and everyone has a different take on whether or not to go public about their cosmetic treatments. I believe everyone has a right to decide for themselves about who they tell.

After all, treatments like Botox, dermal fillers and non-surgical facelifts are designed to be subtle and natural looking, so if no one can tell by looking, what’s the harm in letting them think you are just naturally fresh faced?

Role models

There are those who say that celebrities act as role models for the rest of the population, and as such have a duty to be honest about what they have had done. It is true that the media has a huge influence on people’s self image, and as a cosmetic doctor in London I frequently turn away younge women seeking treatments to make them look just like their favourite celebrity.

However famous you are though, everyone has a right to a private life, and perhaps those in the public eye are the most vulnerable when it comes to their appearance – if you or I has a bad hair day, or suffers a breakout of acne, no one bats an eyelid, but if it happens to a film star it’s all over the papers the next day.

Each to their own

As facial aesthetic procedures like Botox, fillers and laser treatments become more popular, so the taboo around them is disappearing and more and more people are choosing to be honest about their cosmetic work.

However, if for any reason a patient at my Mayfair aesthetic clinic prefers to keep quiet about a treatment, I have the utmost respect for that choice. I salute Ms. Turner for speaking out about her choices and helping to breakdown the secrecy around cosmetic treatments, but if others choose not to make the same declaration, that’s fine by me.

Laser hair removal for men

I wrote a post last month about the increase in men having cosmetic work, and it isn't just Botox and fillers that are becoming more unisex. Laser hair removal is a fantastic procedure for both men and women – it's traditionally seen as a more femi...

Get fresh faced with eMatrix skin resurfacing

As the days are getting shorter and the summer tans are beginning to fade, this is the time of year when I start to see more and more patients walking into my Mayfair aesthetic clinic, wanting to find a treatment that will brighten up their skin and ...

London's Dr Joney De Souza offer Cryotherapy for removal of skin lesions

Call 0207 043 0748 Dr Joney De Souza Skin and Laser Clinic today and book a consultation or email us at

Cryotherapy treatment is the process of using liquid nitrogen liquid to freeze and treat various skin problems. At Dr Joney De Souza Aesthetic Clinic it is used to remove skin tags or warts. The process is very easy and quick and causes very little pain.

“I really didn’t think much could be done about my small skin tags without the need for surgery. I was so surprised when I came to see Dr Joney and then was able to have them removed using cryotherapy. It was so quick and painless.”

[column type=”three-fifths”]

Number of Treatments Depends upon the number of skin tags or warts needing to be removed
Procedure Time 15 – 20 minutes
Anaesthetic A topical anaesthetic may be applied if required
Sensitivity Period None
Back to Work Straightaway
Full Recovery Immediate
Duration of Results Usually permanent but further treatment may be required

[column type=”whole”]

What can cryotherapy do for me?

Cryotherapy is an excellent treatment for removing small skin tags and warts.

Who is suitable for cryotherapy treatment?

Dr Joney De Souza will take your medical history and assess your suitability for cryotherapy treatment during your free consultation.

What’s the treatment like?

Small amounts of liquid nitrogen will be applied to the area to be treated, this will make the skin tag or wart very cold which will destroy the cells within and block the blood supply to the area causing it to eventually drop off. The liquid will be applied to the skin using a specialised probe. The process is over within minutes, although for larger skin tags you may need to have more than one treatment before it is completely removed.

What happens afterwards?

Following cryotherapy treatment you are likely to experience some redness and soreness in the area treated. It is possible that you might develop one or more blisters around where the skin tag had been, although over the next few days you will notice these start to scab over. Eventually the blisters will completely disappear, and the area will be smooth once again.

How can I book an appointment?

Cybereye By William Jackson
January 28, 2015
View original article:

The administration has produced guidelines for protecting the nation’s critical infrastructure—a voluntary risk-based framework that tells system owners and operators what they should do to manage cybersecurity risks. Research from Waverley Labs and the University of North Carolina at Charlotte has developed a risk assessment model for the smart grid that could tell them how to do it.

A collaboration between commercial and academic labs has produced a computer model that could help owners and operators of smart energy grids manage the risk from cyberattacks. The model is intended to support the Obama administration’s Framework for Improving Critical Infrastructure Cybersecurity by assessing the impact of hypothetical attacks against system components so that risks can be identified and prioritized.

The framework is a set of industry standards and best practices put together by the National Institute of Standards and Technology with input from industry, including the electric power sector. The guidelines tell operators of critical infrastructure what to do, “but they don’t say how to do it,” said Waverley Labs founder Juanita Koilpillai. “We’re saying here’s how you do it.”

The University of North Carolina at Charlotte provided the research infrastructure for the project in its Energy Production and Infrastructure Center (EPIC). A prototype tool is undergoing evaluation in a number of settings, including one federal agency, and Waverley Labs hopes to develop a commercial product. The timeline for a product will depend on the results of evaluations and market surveys.

Whether or not this model is commercialized, some method of prioritizing and managing risk in the Smart Grid is essential to risk-based cybersecurity.

The power industry’s emerging Smart Grid enables more efficient power production and use by accommodating renewable energy sources and by using equipment that can be remotely accessed and controlled and allowing two-way communication. But along with efficiencies, the Smart Grid also introduces risk by combining three different technical domains—communications, IT and electric power transmission—and exposing it all to the Internet. Few organizations have adequate expertise in all three areas, said Dr. Madhav Manjrekar, an associate professor at UNCC.

There is greater cooperation today between the industry’s technical and business sides, but there still are gaps in training and expertise that need to be bridged. The typical power engineer trained 20 years ago doesn’t have a background in cybersecurity, said EPIC director Dr. Johan Enslin.

The first step in securing any infrastructure is to understand it, and this includes identifying those elements that are critical, understanding the threat posed by attacks—either cyber or physical—and prioritizing deployment of limited cybersecurity resources. This can be a daunting task, and the Waverley-UNCC work aims to help with the process. A real high voltage distribution network between Winnipeg and Minnesota that has incorporated Smart Grid technology was modeled, and the model was then run on the EPIC network with “what-if” simulations to determine the impact of different types of attacks on different segments and elements of the network.

The goal was to answer the question, “if something would happen, what would be the potential result,” Manjrekar said. “If this happens, it is a frustration. But if that happens, it affects the whole line.” Scenarios have been identified and cataloged according to impact to enable security controls to be placed where they are most effective.

“This is a very timely exercise,” Manjrekar said. With the upgrading of power grids and increasing Internet connectivity, concerns about cyberattacks against the infrastructure are growing. Anything that can help industry apply the standards and best practices contained in the critical infrastructure framework in an effective way is welcome.

Joaquín Pozo

Joaquín Pozo

Master Cuban Percussionist

“Fiery, elegant, lyrical, and impossibly virtuosic” – such has been called master Cuban percussionist Joaquín Pozo’s style. Dubbed “El Pulpo” (The Octopus) because of his incredible facility with the congas, Pozo is known for his unique singular style, a melodic approach to drumming which is identified by its percussive inventiveness. Pozo is descended from a long line of revered Cuban musicians; and having grown up in Havana, Joaquín was very early indoctrinated in the rich musical tradition that bears witness to much of his family’s legacy. Joaquín Pozo’s father, Jorge Pozo Sayut, was very influential in the shaping of Joaquín’s sound. Jorge Pozo was a well-regarded percussionist, composer and musical director for Tata Güines, the revered Cuban artist who helped introduce the first era of Afro-Cuban jazz to the world.

Over the past 35 years, Joaquin has honed his traditional and popular chops mastering both folkloric forms like rumba and more modern forms like jazz, creating a style that melds both sacred and secular. As a band leader, Pozo has recorded Cuban rumba, salsa, and Afro-Latin jazz. As a sideman, he's appeared with super popular and revered Latin groups Grupo Laye, Conjunto Chappottin and Grupo Niche. His discography spans decades and includes three offerings of his own. His recording, “A Ti, Papa” was a thoughtful and fiery tribute to his father, where Joaquín reinterpreted some of the beloved classics his father composed, many which have become standard classics in the modern Cuban repertoire.

Joaquín Pozo stands out both for the depth of his sound, which reverberates with traditional and modern echoes, but also for his unique vision of the congas (or tumbadoras as they are known in Cuba) as the melodic instrument in the band. Tight harmonies and complex, yet swinging melodies, mark Pozo’s compositional style. Whether he is taking a monumental solo (such as the ten-minute tour de force “Momentos,” from his album Descarga Cubana), or driving the band with athletic vigor in both traditional numbers and creative originals, Pozo demonstrates his broad musical vision with what could be coldly described as impeccable rigor, were it not for the playfulness and sheer joy that radiate from his performance. His current band configuration includes bass, piano, timbales and trumpet - a tight-knit group of gifted musicians all dedicated to propelling Joaquín Pozo’s unique sound forward.

What to do today to build sustainable global business

Companies will only achieve sustainable global business growth if they take investment in emerging markets more seriously, plan for the long term and become systematic rather than opportunistic.

It sounds like a cliché but it is true: competition in international markets has reached unprecedented levels and will get much fiercer over the coming years. There are four sources of fast-rising competition.

First, multinationals will be further stepping up their efforts in emerging markets to look for growth. This desire is visible in every company I have recently visited.

Second, emerging market multinationals are growing more aggressive than ever. There are hundreds of Chinese, Indian, Brazilian, Turkish, South African, and other companies, going abroad. They do it flexibly, with good value propositions, lower margin objectives, enough cash, immense speed and sometimes questionable compliance. They have access to finance and find emerging markets similar to their home countries. While large Western corporations form committees to debate expansion, some of these companies are already on the ground, executing their expansion plans.

Third, European and US medium-sized firms are going deeper abroad too. Their value propositions are usually very good and so is their speed and flexibility. Many want to export and go global and they are doing so. Fourth, purely local competitors are stronger and stronger in almost every market. Of 400 multinationals that we advise, all report how difficult it is to fight against innovative competitors. Many of our clients are revamping their competitive intelligence in order to track exceptionally fast competitive changes. To succeed in the coming years, multinationals need a very proactive set of strategic and operational initiatives.

So where will growth come from? Most companies believe that sales and profit growth will largely come from international/emerging markets in the next decade. But at the same time, many executives feel that their companies are currently no fully prepared to take advantage of this huge growth opportunity. Too many multinationals operate in the sphere that I would call “false sense of progress” in emerging markets. They are often growing, but gradually losing market position. They also see a massive increase in competition that is seriously undermining their existing business internationally.

Questions to ask if you really want to grow globally
Every company that is serious about achieving growth internationally should ask themselves the following questions:

  • Is our international business built in such a way that it can last?
  • Is our set up such that we can outperform competition in each market year after year?
  • How resilient are we against rising competition in each market – have we, through our proactive approach to markets, raised barriers to entry for all kinds of competitors?
  • Are we locally relevant?
  • What gaps would we have to close urgently to create a sustainable business that will last and deliver global earnings for decades to come?

What to do today to build sustainable global business
After conducting several hundred structured and unstructured conversations with global and regional leaders of major multinationals over the past few years, I have collected some wisdom about what companies should do now to build a successful international business that will last, with specific focus on the emerging economies as the fastest growth opportunity. Here is the list, which is not necessarily in order of importance:

  • Focus senior executive time
  • Invest properly
  • Take the long-term view
  • Be seen as a local and compete like the locals

Too many international businesses are distant from the markets, overly reliant on local distributors only and running irrelevant marketing campaigns that do not resonate locally. All in all, many companies are still too opportunistic internationally at a time when they should be exceptionally systematic. And opportunistic companies currently see their business gradually eroded by companies that are actually serious about emerging markets.

In addition to the advice provided above, I would also accelerate knowledge and best practice-sharing within your company. Any new initiative in, for example, Colombia, should be known to the heads of Egypt or Malaysia within hours. Intensify market monitoring. Markets are volatile and so do not allow yourself to fall into budget traps or unrealistic forecasts through lack of up-to-date knowledge. Frequent, scientific, granular and per country market research is needed to keep track of changing customer needs and to adjust product portfolios. Innovate so that your product portfolio always matches rapidly changing market needs. Develop the speed and agility of your local competition so that you remain relevant, while slower competitors fall by the wayside.

Crisis at HypoVereinsbank as Two Executives Quit

HypoVereinsbank, the second-biggest German bank, was in crisis on Monday with the shock resignation of two further executives in the wake of the takeover by Italian banking giant UniCredit.

HVB has lost three top managers since the Unicredit merger was announced

The head of HVB's German activities, Christine Licci, and the head of the corporates and markets division, Stefan Jentzsch, had "asked the supervisory board to terminate their contracts," the bank said in an internal letter to employees of which AFP obtained a copy.

"I accept these personal decisions, even if I cannot understand them at the current juncture," chairman Dieter Rampl wrote in the letter. The resignations "will not have any influence on our plans to make the merger of HVB and UniCredit a success," Rampl added.

News of the departures had been made public earlier by HVB's general works council.

The resignation of Licci meant that HVB's private customer business had now seen six different management teams in the past four years, the council complained in a statement. And Jentzsch's decision to throw in the towel was even more surprising, since he had been tipped to head the investment banking division of the merged UniCredit-HVB group, it said.

Shirking responsibility?

Both Licci and Jentzsch had voted in favor of the takeover by UniCredit.

Alessandro Profumo (l) und Dieter Rampl (r) Die italienische Großbank UniCredito will die Münchner HypoVereinsbank (HVB) für gut 15 Milliarden Euro übernehmen

Unicredit CEO Alessandro Profumo (l.) and HVB's CEO Dieter Rampl need to find loyal help

"Now they're quitting without making clear why. We would have expected them to live up to their responsibility," the council said.

Licci was quitting after only a year in office. Media reports said her decision was a result of differences with UniCredit over the future expansion of the private customers business. The 41-year-old, who had made a name for herself in the past as former head of the Citibank's German activities, had been the only female board member in a German bank.

Jentzsch, aged 44 and a former head of Goldman Sachs in Germany, reportedly quit because UniCredit chief Alessandro Profumo wanted to cut the investment banking activities. Media reports suggest he could be head-hunted by rival Dresdner Bank and there were concerns high-profile investment bankers could move with him.

Last month, the former chief of HVB's Austrian arm Bank Austria, Gerhard Randa, took his hat. And shortly afterwards, the head of HVB's supervisory board Albrecht Schmidt, who had been opposed to the tie-up with UniCredit, followed.

Media reports suggested that more resignations could follow, including that of real estate division head Johann Berger.

Investors appeared unnerved by the personnel changes and at around midday on the Frankfurt stock exchange, HVB shares were showing a loss of 0.50 euros or 2.02 percent at 24.27 euros in a generally softer market.

 The application of informational and communication technologies in education - EA-academy.org

The application of informational and communication technologies in education

It is just unacceptable to use inefficient, outdated learning technology, which exhausts both the student and the teacher in the school of the 21st century. New information technologies are designed for all the knowledge seekers and those who love to learn and explore something new, for those who care about the level of their professional competence. In this regard, teachers from our school use the most innovative technologies in the learning process in order to make it easier and more interesting for students. Click here to enroll your kid to our school.

Our school is equipped with all the necessary facilities for effective learning: present day computers with LCD monitors, free WiFi zone in all the class rooms and even corridors. We rent only the latests models in order to keep up with rapidly improving technology and replace LCD monitors and computer units once a year. This helps us to keep on providing educational process of the highest level in terms of limited financial resources.

What is the task of every teacher of our school?
Each teacher must posses high computer skills and be able to use a computer in everyday learning just like a pen or piece of chalk. Computer becomes a methodical addition to the educational process, which compensates for the lack of visual aids.

Our school successfully implements the program of informatization, which aims to create the conditions for the application of modern computer technology in the educational process, improve information culture of its participants and form a common educational environment. Access to the technological level of the educational process design and implementation allows the teacher to be highly qualified specialists and greatly enhances the role of the teacher and opens new horizons for the development and creativity.

Thus, we consider a technology of education as a system category, focused on the didactic use of scientific knowledge, scientific approaches to the analysis and organization of educational process that takes into account the empirical innovations aimed at achieving high results in personal development of the students. Our educational technology is a well thought-out model of joint activity of the teacher and the student in designing, organizing and conducting educational process with simultaneous ensuring absolutely comfortable conditions for them.

Golden Goose Shoes creating quality footwear

It doesn't scream opulence but does look a bit funky as it's plastic which works in its favor. Certain styles of shoes are more available to men or to women. Electrical power also controls the subway's ventilation system. Many subway systems include numerous sections of aboveground track and station entrances that are open to the air. Shelves are storage solution number one for most people. Whether they are a single shelf or a bookcase with several shelves is up to you. Johnston, a runner, became the first official employee of Blue Ribbon Sports in 1968. Johnston spearheaded marketing efforts, helping to forge the Nike brand. Could be that your boots weren't shiny to begin with. Are they made of polished leather or greasy leather? The greasy leather tends to be matte and won't buff to a shine. If you want a classy pair of formal shoes you can check out the Venetian shoes. This pair of dress shoes is available in brown and black color. Try achieving a balance between the speed and the direction of your throw. If you find that the shoe ends up too far from the stake, lower your speed. Simple is a shoe company that started back in 1991 with the goal of Golden Goose Shoes creating quality footwear without all of the commercial hype. Around 2004, Simple began to go green with their GreenToe line of earth friendly footwear. Calluses on the feet are common in people who walk around barefoot outdoors, wear shoes that pinch (in which case the calluses develop on the outside of the big and little toes), or wear openbacked shoes (calluses develop under and around the heel). Some calluses on the balls of the feet are caused by shoes that are too loose: The callus develops when the foot consistently rides forward inside the shoe with each step.

Alcyone Cafe's Evening Hours

Alcyone is now closed. Owner Karo Thom is part of Gayle's Italian Market in the McGilchrist Building.

Have you been to Alcyone Cafe in the Pringle Park Plaza? If not, is it because of their limited hours? Then you'll be glad to know that owner Karo has made the decision to extend Alcyone's hours--
Mon - Tue: open until 6:30 pm;
Wed - Thu: 8:00 pm;
Fri:  9:00 pm.
They'll be serving happy hour on Monday and Tuesday, dinner on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday.

After hearing this good news, @AmberPadilla, @SalemRebekah, @millersf and I, decided to meet and check this new development out. It's a cozy establishment, though thankfully the tables are not squeezed in. The bamboo table tops and benches add to the interior's contemporary look.

To begin, I chose the Lullu--a gin martini along with jerked & roasted chicken skewers with a pineapple ancho sauce to share and @AmberPadilla ordered citrus dressed scallops on a bed of arugula. I've had chewy experiences with scallops in the past, but these were a welcome surprise--tender, flaky with a lovely warm slightly sweet citrus flavor. The chicken skewers were nicely done. Always glad to see chicken well seasoned (I love jerked chicken) and perfectly cooked. The pineapple ancho sauce was delicious. I'm not exaggerating when I say I could easily become addicted.

We weren't finished catching up with each other, so we ordered dinner. @Millersf, a vegetarian, ordered Cheese Ravioli with Puttanesca Sauce. Both @AmberPadilla and I ordered the Pork Scallopini, served over a bed of jasmine rice. My pork was lightly breaded, cooked to perfection with just the right amount of sauce to compliment the dish and not overpower it.
Our helpful, efficient server, tempted us with a description of the creme brulee. Alcyone's is the creamy variety, with plenty of surface area for the caramelized sugar. Don't those raspberries below make you yearn for the warmth of the summer sun on your back?

Karo came to our table and filled us in on the handcrafted cocktails and delicious dishes to come.
I highly recommend you check Alcyone Cafe out--whether it's for the first time or the extended hours. Let us know what you think.

Jerry Springer.

 I saw an episode of Jerry Springer today. I normally dont watch those trash shows, however, my friends wanted to watch it, so I had to suffer.

Anyway, there was a guy on there who was a total dork. He looked like a loser who couldnt get laid if he tried. He said he lived in a trailer park and he wanted to hook up with a woman on the show. The girl he was interested in also looked like White Trash. She said she lived in a trailer park as well.

The man was on the stage waiting for this woman to come out and see him. He had flowers in one hand and a huge teddy bear in the other. He just sat there waiting for the woman to come out. Before she came out, he said, he lost his virginity to this girl in a laundry matt on the floor, a couple years ago. The guy must have been in his late 20s or early 30s and he just lost his virginity? What a loser!

The woman came out and gave this guy the bad news. First he got on his knee and gave her the flowers and bear. Then she said, I am not interested in you anymore.

Then her current boyfriend came out and tried to beat up on this guy. Her BF looked like a dork to. Then they started throwing punches. These guys hit each other a few times and did not hurt each other. Now I was laughing, because they could not fight! Most of the people that go on that show, either fight like girls or they just have no fighting skills at all!

I was thinking, Why dont they take a Kung Fu class or something before they come on the show?

Now they just made bigger asses of themselves in front of the whole world on TV, because they cant fight.

What I dont understand about this show is: Why the hell would any one agree to be on it at all in the first place? They should have enough common sense to realize that whoever asked them to be on the show obviously has some pretty bad news for them. Maybe they are cheating on them; they have been dating for Ten years and did not realize that their Girl Friend is really a man or something equally bad. If someone asked me to be on that show, I would just make them tell me the bad news right now, so I did not have to embarrass myself on national TV when they told me their bull shit.

I know there are some pretty stupid people in this world, but how dumb do you have to be to agree to go on that show?

Where is Bill Engvall when you need him? He needs to give everyone that goes on that show one of his signs to advertise how stupid they are!

Similarity of Christian Fundamentalists to Conspiracy Theorists

Over the past few years I have noticed a close similarity between Christian fundamentalists and people who believe in conspiracy theories, especially those who consider themselves part of the “truth movement”. The truth movement in the UK is a loose grouping of (often one man) “organisations” promoting the idea that British society is controlled by some malevolent organisation who work in the background to control events and ultimately hand over sovereignty to some outside body as part of a one world government. The usual suspects for these accusations are Common Purpose, the Fabian Society, the Freemasons or all three. The current trend of “truth seeking” is similar to the “millennium bug” hysteria of the late 90’s which saw people storing food and building shelters for the coming catastrophe. The main catalyst for the recent growth in conspiracy thinking has been the 9/11 Truth movement in the USA which grew after the bombing of the World Trade Center in an attempt to find other explanations for that hard to believe catastrophe. However, many of the same ideas have been continually promoted by David Icke and others over the past 12 years.

This US connection may be why evangelical fundamentalists and conspiracy theorists have so much in common. Here is a list:

  • Belief that Britain is being sold out as part of a New World Order.
  • Dislike of the European Union.
  • Interest in the traditional family and denial of validity of homosexual relationships.
  • Distrust of organisations promoting progressive ideas.
  • Dislike of freemasonry.
  • Dislike of Islam (elthough with some envy of their value of the family unit).
  • Belief that all change is regressive.
  • Inability to recognise the zeitgeist (the majority consensus position on current issues).
  • Disbelief in climate change.
  • Belief in impending apocalypse (either the end of the Mayan callendar in 2012 or the imminent second coming of Christ and Armageddon).
  • Belief that debit and credit cards will be replaced by an electronic implant (the mark of the beast to Christians) as a means of controlling trade.
  • Support for alternative theories of science (e.g. free energy, anti gravity or creationism).
  • Putting greater trust in people if they have academic titles even if they are false or honorary.
  • Playing to specific enclosed audiences of fellow believers and not being open to external criticism, brushing it off as either the “unsaved” or “government agents”.
  • Fielding parliamentary candidates who often poll very few votes.

Both sides rely on their own gurus promoting very similar ideas. As an example, for Christians the late Barry Smith and for secular conspiracy theorists Brian Gerrish.

Both the christians and the truthers claim to have life changing information, but decide to sell it to a select group of followers rather than giving it away to the general population free of charge. Digital distribution can be achieved at virtually no cost, but they still choose to distribute by DVD, book, magazine or paid ticketed events.

My thoughts
Its quite surprising how close the two groups are in beliefs and ways of operating. Whilst I agree that there are actually some things about modern life which are heading in the wrong direction, I do see some good too. The recent deposing of Mubarak in Egypt was possible because of the greater freedom of communication possible with the Internet. The increasing freedom of communication means that if their ideas were true more real evidence would have emerged.

If I had the secret of free energy or how to change peoples lives I would give it away free in the knowledge that not only would I be helping people but I would also be securing my financial future through the fame his would bring me. I suspect that what we are witnessing with Christian fundamentalists and conspiracy theorists is a case of “the emperors new clothes” with very few small boys pointing the finger at their state of undress.

I can't help concluding that a lot of this is about earning an income for the people involved rather than revealing anything that is really true about the world. They certainly don't do anything publicly to help other people. It is all very self validating and self congratulatory in an "I told you so" kind of way.

  1. Another great post Gordon.

    Fancy a pint one night I am up in Edinburgh some time?

  2. Sure, let me know when you are up. I work in the city centre. I just noticed that my contact link has disappeared from the right hand side of tis page, but you can find my email address here:

  3. Hello

    I've been reading your blog with interest over the past few days. You confirm everything I have thought or about or seen of the non-denominational/evangelical Protestants, and something of what I have seen of the liberal ones. They are just a sort of cargo cult version of Christianity. Don't lump the real thing in with them. You'll find much more serious, varied and realistic considerations of various things you've brought up here if you look outwith said cargo cult.

    But what I really wanted to mention was to do with the way you have written about "belief" in several places (didn't mark where, which I should have done). I think you would find Joseph Pieper's long essay "Faith as a Philosophical Problem" interesting. In English it's published as "Faith, Hope, Love" by Ignatius Press, a US Catholic outfit. I gave both my copies away before I got round to reading the other two essays, but it's worth buying for that one alone. (try abebooks.com)

    The way your depression was treated/considered was ignorance in full blossom (especially if it was a pastor) - no-one with any knowledge of human nature and the spiritual life would have acted that way (I mean, yes, a bluff or tetchy type might say "just gerronwivit, but they'd never think it had to have anything other than a perfectly everyday explanation).

    The five ways of St Thomas are not easy to understand even if you are thoroughly familiar with his natural philosophy and metaphysics, which most people who take it upon themselves to comment on the five ways in English are not: if you are not convinced of the premises, the conclusion will make no impact on you. And the premises take some learning.

    Anyway, it's been interesting reading all this, thanks for writing it all up.

  4. Thank you for your comment.

    My battle with faith is really the old battle between pistis (faith) and gnosis (knowledge). I don't like the idea of pistis, and feel that I should just "know" what is correct. I will have a look for that book. I do know Aquinas although I concentrated on reformed dogmatics in my studies.

    As far as equating fundamentlaism with a cargo cult - I think you are right in many ways - it is a mechanistic view of how action can effect spiritual outcomes - "do X get Y". There is not a great concept of grace there and faith is a destination rather than a journey.

  5. What a load of anti christian conspiracy theories youtr full of Gordon. Got your tin foil hat out to protect you from the evil christians?

  6. Not me. Its some Christian fundamentalists who hold to these conspiracy theories. Please read the article.

  7. But I fear lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve by his subtilty,so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ.
    2 Corinthians 11:3

    Just a thought from a Christian fundamentalist conspiracy theorist....

Filipino Stars Refuse Plastic Bags, Bring Their Own

The current article you are reading does not reflect the views of the current editors and contributors of the new Ecorazzi

Risa Baraquel Says No to Plastic Grocery BagsCelebrities in the Philippines showed up at the grocery store on Monday.Â Why where they there? To encourage consumers to drop the ‘plastic bag habit’. The celebrities declined plastic bags at the supermarket. Instead, they did as we all should they brought their own (BYOB!). Using “bayong” or straw bags and cloth bags, these local celebrities carried their goods out in style.

The campaign is run by the Ecowate Coalition. The INQ7 article notes:

â€œThe plastic invasion of the Filipino culture and society must end. The health and environmental costs of its production and use are too high,â€ Gigie Cruz of the Global Alliance for Incinerator Alternatives (GAIA) said.

A survey done by the Ecowaste Coalition on August 14 found that 76 percent of the wastes on Manila Bay were plastics, which would take a thousand years to disintegrate and gradually release toxins into water and soil.

Celebrities that participated in the BYOB day were Representative Risa Baraquel, Miss Earth-Philippines Cathy Untalan, TV anchor Kristine Bersola-Babao and actor Roy Alvarez.

Ho Chi Minh City played host to a small celebrity football match a few days ago when Korean film and soap opera actors flew in for a game against Vietnamese stars. Korean actors like Park Sang-myun of My Wife Is A Gangster (really funny movie, you have to see it) and Kim Jung-hoon faced off against celebrities including Ung Hoang Phuc and Chi Bao for the benefit of Agent Orange victims as well as poor artists in the country. The game took place at Thang Nhat Stadium.

The final score was Vietnam – 2, South Korea – 1 and the Korean team donated â‚«20 million (Vietnamese dong), which is the equivalent of $1,250.

Provost Academy South Carolina Graduation

Class of 2016

Provost Academy South Carolina awarded diplomas to the seventh graduating class in the school’s history on June 17 at the Columbia Metropolitan Convention Center.  One hundred twenty-eight students were awarded diplomas, with more expected at the close of the summer school session.

Specializing in the S.T.E.M. program, (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics), Provost Academy was established in 2009, as one of the first public charter online high schools in the state.

Robert “Donnie” Pritchard, “Student of the Year”, gave the welcome speech; Milner Martin, Salutatorian, gave the Farewell Speech to the graduates; and Alexandra McKibbin, number three in the graduating class, led everyone in the pledge of allegiance and sang the national anthem.

Commencement 2016: Durham Bridgescape Academy

Graduation at the Durham, NC Bridgescape Academy

DURHAM -- Graduates of Durham’s Performance Learning Center and Magic Johnson Bridgescape Academy were urged Tuesday to “cherish the moment” by guest speaker Rob Boyd, a noted financial leadership coach.

Boyd, a Northern High School graduate who went on to earn degrees at Howard and Georgetown universities, also asked the graduates and their guests to take out their cell phones and to take selfies to remember the moment. “This picture will be a moment in time to revisit in the future to remind yourself of where you’re going in life,” Boyd said during the graduation ceremony held at McDougald-McLendon Gymnasium on the N.C. Central University campus.

Thirty-seven students graduated from the Performance Learning Center (PLC) and another 12 from the Magic Johnson Bridgescape Academy (MJBA). As is the tradition for both programs, significant people in the students’ lives accompanied them across the stage to receive their diplomas while short student bios and future plans were read by program officials.

Many of the graduates have plans to attend Durham Technical Community College to gain work skills or course credits to transfer to a four-year college. Six of the graduates earned enough high school credits to graduate a year early.

Senteria Trueluck was the Class of 2016 valedictorian and Greta Marie West the salutatorian.

Boyd, who has spoken at Microsoft, Howard University and other prestigious companies and universities, said being able to return home to speak to Tuesday’s graduates was the most rewarding.

“This is by far the most meaningful opportunity I’ve had to speak,” Boyd said. “This is the first time that I’ve actually spoken in the city that I’m from.” Boyd said Durham is the city that made him. But he warned that it’s also a city that can deal a person significant setbacks.

He urged the graduates must think deeply about their futures. “Many of the adults in your life are unhappy with who they have become,” Boyd said. “They’re unhappy with what they do every day. It’s not because they’re bad people, it’s because they value the opinions of others.”

He offered the graduates a cheat-code to help them navigate life after graduation. “Don’t focus so much on what you want to do, focus on who you want to become,” Boyd said.

Message to Roosevelt grads: 'insert greatness' as destination

Graduation at Theodore Roosevelt College & Career Academy

GARY — Dancing, chanting, selfies and embraces were the theme of the night for the 51 graduating seniors of Theodore Roosevelt College & Career Academy on Friday.

The graduates adjusted one another's outfits, went over speeches and danced off their nerves before being presented to family and friends.

Graduates shared advice for the underclassmen.

“When anyone tells you that you can't, that's your key word to push harder,” said National Honor Society graduate Chardinae Adams.

“No one can choose your destiny, but you stay strong and no matter what they say about you, push yourself to succeed,” Cary Martin said.

Principal Donna Henry welcomed and thanked the parents and guardians of the graduates for all of their hard work and involvement in the students' lives.

“The Class of 2016 are excellent examples of role models, mentors, and have set the bar high,” she said. “Yes, they have experienced tough times, but those moments are the very thing that has shaped them to the strong, independent individuals they are today. I know the Cass of 2016 will do great things for the world and their communities.”

School faculty member Jamie Wolverton introduced salutatorian Matayzia Hughes. Wolverton had trouble holding back tears during her introduction.

“From your current location, insert greatness as the destination of your GPS,” Hughes said. “I do not mean global positioning satellite, I mean GPS as in Great Problem Survivor. There will be great obstacles which we must overcome, but with sheer determination we will all make it.”

Valedictorian Princess Tucker expressed how making an effort to talk with the dean of students on several occasions helped change her life around.

“Previously, I attended Theodore Roosevelt Career & Technical Academy as a seventh- and eighth-grader,” Tucker said. “I personally was a mess. I tended to fight and act buck wild on a daily basis. However, when Edison Learning brought along Theodore Roosevelt College & Career Academy, I became a better individual.”

Tucker closed her speech with some final words of wisdom.

“You owe it to yourself to be the best that you can be because when you are not your best, others are less than they should or could be.”

Graduating seniors who were recognized were: Valedictorian, Princess Tucker; Salutatorian, Matayzia Hughes; Principal’s Award (Consistent Exemplification of the EdisonLearning 8 Core Values), Gary Davis; and the Superintendent’s Award (Consistent Exemplification of Leadership), Matayzia Hughes.

Independent Study Cites Positive Outcomes of MJBA Program in Norfolk

Norfolk MJBA Study

The Norfolk (VA) Public School Board commissioned an independent study of the District’s Open Campus / Magic Johnson Bridgescape Program.  The report, conducted by Old Dominion University’s Darden College of Education, and the Center for Educational Partnerships determined that “overall the program is a success.”

Below are key findings from the Formative Evaluation of the Norfolk Public Schools’ Open Campus High School Program:

  • The Norfolk Public Schools’ Open Campus High School (OCHS) program is intended to assist school drop-outs and overage-for-grade students earn a regular high school diploma in an alternative setting.
  • OCHS offers two half-day sessions per day, during which students primarily participate in the Magic Johnson Bridgescape program, which provides computer-mediated and small group instruction. The Norfolk program is unique among its counterparts nationally in that the Bridgescape programs in other cities do not serve overage-for-grade students.
  • The program provides a caring and supportive environment for students.
  • Over 90% of students reported that they like attending OCHS, respect their teachers, and believe that their teachers care about them.
  • The program was clearly most successful in serving students who were fairly close to achieving graduation at the time they dropped out of school. The students were also more motivated to engage in the program as evidenced by higher lesson completion rates.
  • The core program model is responsive to the needs of the students being served.
  • Students were motivated to enroll in the program for a number of reasons.
  1. They clearly desired a regular high school diploma versus other alternatives such as a GED.
  2. They strongly valued being able to work at their own pace, getting 1:1 assistance from teachers, flexible scheduling, and being able to see their own progress.
  3. Students mentioned community-based recruitment, program publicity on local news, and family encouragement as factors that influenced their decision to enroll.
  • Individualization of learning and program structure provided important and effective supports for students. Self-pacing, intensive academic support from teachers, scaffolded curricula, careful progress monitoring, and selective curricular focus were identified as effective strategies for individualizing learning.
  • Helpful structural elements included flexible scheduling, a small environment, and provision of wrap-around services. Students exhibited positive self-expectations, including a strong expectation that they could indeed graduate and positive and realistic perceptions of their own progress in the program.

Honeywell Aerospace Highlights Latest Aircraft Upgrades

October 26, 2013 Technology No Comments Email Email

Honeywell (NYSE: HON) is highlighting the operational benefits and momentum of its retrofit, modification and upgrade (RMU) technologies at the National Business Aircraft Association (NBAA) 2013.

These upgrades include a range of Honeywell’s satellite communications (SATCOM) products, flight management systems (FMS), cabin management systems (CMS) and cockpit displays.

250x250TICBanner“Operators are looking to extend the life and enhance the value of their aircraft and are turning to RMUs to do so,” said Rob Wilson, president of Business and General Aviation, Honeywell Aerospace. “At this year’s NBAA we are highlighting our cost-effective, easy-to-install and certified technologies that help our customers enhance the productivity of their fleets,  meet evolving regulatory demands, and increase their aircraft’s resale value.”

Cabin Retrofits and Upgrades

Today’s passengers want to be just as connected onboard as they are in the office and at home to make the most of their travel time. The Ovation Select CMS lets them receive and respond to email, access the Internet, host videoconferences and make telephone calls. It features media content delivered in crisp surround-sound audio and vivid high-definition (HD) video.

NBAA attendees can experience a fully functioning mock-up of the Ovation Select system, certified by the FAA and European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), during the show at Honeywell’s booth # N4100. The CMS from Honeywell is scalable and customizable to retrofit any business jet, and is currently flying aboard more than 40 aircraft, most recently enhancing the Dassault Falcon 900, which will be available for viewing at the Honeywell static display.

Honeywell has developed an upgrade modification that would allow a current operator with the “C” series CMS to upgrade its system to full HD video and audio, onboard music, Blu-ray, and PlayStation capability, dramatically enhancing the passenger experience. The modification will be offered through the Honeywell dealer network via a supplemental type certificate (STC).

Primus Epic 2.0

On the heels of its 10th anniversary, Honeywell’s Primus Epic is entering a new phase of cockpit innovation with a refreshed Epic 2.0 platform. With the upgraded flight deck, operators will benefit from Honeywell’s SmartView Synthetic Vision System, Honeywell’s IntuVue 3-D Weather Radar system, lateral approach with precision vertical (LPV) guidance, access to airspace with priority treatment from air traffic control, and enhanced navigation that includes Automatic Dependence Surveillance – Broadcast (ADS-B) Out functionality. NBAA attendees will be able to experience a mock-up unit of the Primus Epic flight deck during the show at Honeywell’s booth.

The upgraded flight deck will also feature a new Data LAN Management Unit – Wireless (DLMU-W) database loader. The technology will increase cockpit connectivity for pilots and overall operational efficiency by making aircraft data more accessible for pilots and maintenance personnel. The DLMU-W will reduce database upload times up to 80 percent, allow for seamless transfer of downloaded material to tablets via apps and let pilots wirelessly transmit tablet-created flight plans into the Primus Epic system.

Other Avionics Retrofits and Upgrades

As well as cabin retrofits and upgrades, Honeywell is announcing and showcasing several other avionics upgrades at NBAA, including the following:

  • A Honeywell Primus 2000 cockpit upgrade will be available for Dassault Falcon 900C/EX aircraft. The new Falcon Elite II upgrade includes the Honeywell Primus Elite displays with FMS 6.1 and Wide Area Augmentation System GPS. Future upgrades will also include a Mark III Communications Management Unit that will greatly improve the efficiency of communications between controllers and pilots by giving them a Future Air Navigation System and controller pilot data link communications capabilities.
  • A new range of upgrades for the Embraer Legacy 600 will improve navigation, situational awareness, connectivity and safety. Upgrades include Honeywell Primus Elite displays that feature charts and maps, FMS 6.1 for LPV approaches, and SmartLanding and SmartRunway safety enhancements. These upgrades can be seen at the Honeywell booth or at the Embraer static display #105.
  • The next version of Honeywell’s cockpit display system/retrofit (CDS/R) software recently received technical standard orders. The cockpit display upgrade for aircraft features an intuitive display that increases situational awareness, increases reliability and reduces cost of ownership of an aircraft by removing cathode-ray tube monitors. Honeywell’s CDS/R can also be configured or scaled based on the aircraft’s current configuration. The technology is certified for use on the Hawker 800, and Honeywell channel partner Elliott Aviation will have a CDS/R demo available at its booth # C8143.
  • Honeywell Primus Elite cockpit displays have been certified on the Gulfstream GIV/V, Embraer Legacy 600, Bombardier Global Express, Global 5000 and Global Express XRS, Dassault Falcon 900 and Cessna Citation X platforms. The new LCD displays bring additional functionality such as charts, maps and XM graphical weather, while enhancing aircraft value, reducing weight and increasing reliability.

Honeywell is showcasing its complete line of business aviation offerings at NBAA 2013 in Las Vegas, Oct. 22–24, at booth # N4100.

Three teenagers held for brutal attack on migrant workers

TAGS: Crime

Three teenagers were arrested on Thursday in connection with a brutal attack last Saturday against two Pakistani migrant workers in the industrial zone of Aspropyrgos, west of Athens.

Two of the suspects are aged 17, while the other is 18.

According to police in western Attica, all three subscribe to far-right ideologies, but there was no evidence linking them to the neo-Nazi Golden Dawn party or other right-wing extremist groups.

Police found bats and other incriminating items in a search of their homes.

All three – ethnic Greeks from the former Soviet Union – have reportedly been in trouble with authorities in the past due to violent behavior, with at least one incident motivated by racist ideology.

One of the arrested suspects was identified by the migrant workers as one of their attackers. All three suspects have reportedly confessed to carrying out the attack.
