3 Mapping Technologies for Demonstrating Global Reach

September 07, 2012 Mike Weisert

Many of our clients at One North have capabilities that span the globe. When trying to convey their global reach, simply showing office locations or listing countries doesn’t paint the full picture. This need to convey global reach has translated into an interest in experience mapping and visualization technologies which help potential customers envisage a global firm, regardless of the office footprint. Below are 3 compelling technologies for visualizing global reach:

  1. Google Maps

    Let’s start with one of the most well known and robust mapping systems available. Google Maps is a powerful mapping interface for guiding your visitor around the globe. What you may not know is how customizable the platform has become. A more traditional, but effective, Google Map can be seen on the InterAction Haiti Relief website. This site visualizes projects within the country and allows the user to focus within a specific province.

    Several sites are now doing impressive image overlays, custom graphics, guided tours, controls and other enhancements which blur the lines between a traditional map and an interactive experience. A great example of pushing the boundaries with Google Maps can be seen on the VisitPhilly.com website.
  2. OpenStreetMap (OSM)

    Think of OpenStreetMap as the Wikipedia of the online maps world. People around the world contribute to the data of OSM to keep it up to date. The data is completely open source, meaning you can download the entire data set (around 22GB) and host your own mapping system. Why do this? You may find your application requires a costly license from Google or Microsoft if you do not meet their requirements for the free version. There are also several enhancement libraries built around OSM which can be leveraged, such as Leaflet..

    Leaflet Examples
    Flickr: http://www.flickr.com/map
    Wall Street Journal Election Map: http://projects.wsj.com/campaign2012/maps/#r=pres&v=states
  3. WebGL

    This technology is not quite ready for a production website, as it is still an evolving standard. As of this post, you’ll need to use Chrome to view the site. WebGL is a way of creating 3D graphics within the browser without a plugin (such as Adobe Flash). To highlight the capabilities of the Chrome web browser, Google has created the WebGL Globe project as an platform for visualization. Several examples can be seen on their site: http://www.chromeexperiments.com/globe

    In this example, shown on the site HTML5 Rocks, we see that adding markers and other customizations to the WebGL Globe could create a highly compelling and interesting way for your visitors to interact with your experience records.

Displaying experience locations on a Google map is a great start for demonstrating global reach. When you can enhance that experience to make it a truly compelling tool, your site visitors will think less about bricks & mortar offices and more about your organization’s global capabilities.

Lagos partners French multinational to complete Light Rail Project

The Lagos State Government on Sunday disclosed that it had signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with a French multinational, Alstom SA to complete its light rail project.

The State Government, thus, said the passenger operation of the first phase (Marina to Mile 2) of the 27-kilometre project might take off in 2022 with the MoU it just signed with Alstom, a firm with 100 years of railway experience covering 60 countries.

This was contained in a statement issued on Sunday by the Managing Director of Lagos Metropolitan Area Transport Authority (LAMATA), Mr. Abiodun Dabiri,  noting that the MoU was sealed after a comprehensive review of the rail project.

The state’s first civilian governor, Alhaji Lateef Jakande had in 1983 conceived Lagos Metroline Network. After military takeover on December 31, the project was scrapped in 1985 by the military administration of Maj. Gen. Muhammadu Buhari (rtd) at a loss of over $78 million.

The rail project was revived under the administration of former Governor Bola Ahmed Tinubu with a formal announcement of its construction in December 2003, but could not kick-start its implementation due to paucity of funds.

Under the administration of former Governor Babatunde Fashola, the cost of the rail project was reviewed from $135 million in 2003 to $1.25 billion in 2010. Subsequently, its implementation took off, but was later halted due to economic recession.

However, a major relief came about six weeks ago when the French Government announced a plan to support the state’s public transportation system and megacity agenda with €200 million (83.7 billion) at the French-Nigeria Business Forum.

In his statement, DAbiri explained that the state government had engaged a consortium of experts to undertake a technical due diligence on the Lagos Rail Mass Transit (LRMT), especially the first phase which run from Marina to Mile 2.

He said the consortium had developed a roadmap, which the state government eventually accepted “to bring the railway project to passenger operations.”

Dabiri said the consortium outlined their findings and proposed a roadmap “to complete the civil infrastructure works and the operation & maintenance (O&M) infrastructure that will be needed for the of passenger operation to take off.

“Based on its final report, the consortium of Alstom Transport SA France has been engaged for the procurement, engineering, construction, installation of operation & maintenance moveable infrastructure and commissioning of railway systems towards the commencement of passenger operations for LRMT Blue Line project from Marina to Mile 2.”

Dabiri added that for ease of implementation of the work to be done by Alstom SA, the work plan had been divided into two phases, with phase one aimed at demonstrating the non-public operation of the existing rolling stock before end of second quarter of 2019.

“For this purpose, a track length of about 3.0 km from Iganmu Station to National Theatre will be electrified. This operation would be done with the rolling stocks already supplied for the Blue Line project.

“This phase would allow the completion of all the preliminary works that would lead to the financing of the main works in Phase two. Phase one will be fully financed by Lagos State Government through Internally Generated Revenue (IGR).

“Phase two, which is expected to be completed in 39 months, would entail the provision and installation of railway operations’ systems for the project from Marina to Mile 2 and the delivery of a passenger-ready Lagos Blue Rail Line by 2022.”

After signing the agreement, a Director of Alstom SA, Mr. Guy Jean-Pierre, assured that Alstom would work to ensure the delivery of the Blue Line to passenger operation by bringing on board required expertise and experience in rail system management.

Senior Vice President Middle East and Africa, Mr. Didier Pfleger also gave assurances that  equipped with proven reliable and ecological solutions, the blue line would contribute to positioning the city among the showcases of sustainable mobility in Africa.

Course Information

48Hr Semi-Intensive Driving Course Package Deal -  over Approx 6 Weeks*

You have the benefits of keeping the lessons flowing, so you dont forget in between, whilst not having to take time off work or college.

We book the Theory Test and give access to our TheoryTestPro Site, with the Theory Test being taken approximately 2 weeks after booking your course.

Your driving instructor will contact you to arrange a schedule to fit in around 4 to 6hrs of lessons per week. - Clearly the more flexible you are, the easier this will be in scheduling your course.  If you are only have limited availability this may lengthen the course slightly.

Once the Theory Test has been passed, contact us with the certificate number and we will arrange the practical test, for around 4 weeks after the theory test, using our automated test finder service.  Your instructor willl advise us on dates to look for as well.

pass your driving test in 6 weeks

The Semi-Intensive Driving Course combines the flexibility of weekly driving lessons, with the benefit of less time to forget subjects between lessons.

This way you get to pass the practical driving test within 6 weeks of booking your course, rather than the traditional 6 - 12 months of traditional weekly driving lessons.

 How does it work ?

1. Book Your Course

2. We book the theory test (if required) for around 2 weeks away and give you access to Theory Test Pro, to study

3. Your instructor accepts the course and contacts you around week 2 to arrange a schedule to fit in your lessons within the next 5 to 6 weeks (approx). minimum lesson is 2hrs , up to a maximum of 6hrs per day

4. Once theory test is passed - send us the certificate number and we book your practical test for approx 4 weeks thereafter.

5. Take the test - Pass and send us in your customer review and photo.

please note - failing the theory test, will result in your course taking longer and you will have to pay for the next theory test - we will send you the link to book.

There is a strict 48hr cancellation period on all scheduled lessons. Any lesson cancelled with less than 48hrs will be charged/deducted from the hours.

Hours are scheduled in 2hr blocks.

Breaks are not included in the course time.

The Driving Test is during the last couple of hours of the course - extra time might be allocated if the test centre is some distance away- to allow time to travel home.

If you do not take the test at the end of your course - the free test booking is not valid -  Please note you must give 3 working days notice to change a Driving Test without losing the test fee.

You have to wait a minimum of 10 working days between practical driving tests       ( DVSA regulations ) which amounts to 2 weeks in effect - depending on test dates available.

 * This will be partly dependent on your availability and that of the instructor and is used as a target figure, but may vary slightly.

Otago Polytechnic

A pair of Otago Polytechnic lecturers have given wings to a project that mixes cultural history, artistic flourishes and design nous.

Inspired by a series of iconic New Zealand postage stamps depicting New Zealand moths, Design lecturer Gavin O’Brien embarked on an applied design research project that has culminated in reproducing Enid Hunter’s 1970 design of a Tussock Butterfly.

He and Hannah Joynt, Lecturer in Art, Digital Media and Design at Otago Polytechnic, have produced a limited run of laser-cut wooden butterflies utilising a palette of Resene colours.

Supported by the copyright owners of the image, New Zealand Post, the project also aims to raise funds for Landcare Research’s Ahi Pepe/MothNet project.

“As a young stamp collector in the 1960s and early ‘70s, I was always taken by the highly stylised design,” Gavin reflects.

“We have produced a limited run of wooden moths to test the market. If successful, we might follow this up with a larger run, although that would depend on permission from NZ Post.”

Spotlight Sunday 2.11.18

A record number of votes that seems like something that could only happen in an alternate universe means that there are spoilers ahead for…

Elseworlds: Superman Vol. 1
Writer: Steve Vance, Roger Stern, Howard Chaykin, Dave Gibbons, J.M. DeMatteis, Roy Thomas
Artist: Various, Michael Lark, Gil Kane, José Luis García-López, Eduardo Barreto
Cover: Eduardo Barreto

In Elseworlds, heroes are taken from their usual settings and put into strange times and places – some that have existed, or might have existed, and others that can’t, couldn’t, or shouldn’t exist. The result: stories that make characters who are as familiar as yesterday seem as fresh as tomorrow.

It’s an Elseworlds kind of week for me, I guess. A few days ago, I watched the animated Batman: Gotham by Gaslight, a very loose adaptation of the very first Elseworlds graphic novel of the same name, in which a 19th Century version of the Batman takes on Jack the Ripper.

(The movie was just okay. Mostly, while I found it interesting, my affection for certain characters – the non-Elseworlds versions, anyway – led me to feel as though the movie did them a disservice. But that’s not what this is about.)

While that first Batman vs. the Ripper story launched the Elseworlds line, the concept can trace its lineage back to the “Imaginary Stories” of old, which appeared in the various Superman books over the years, and which gave us this bit of oft-used promotional hype:

Not a hoax! Not a dream! Not an imaginary story!

Of course, they’re all imaginary stories, but in this context, the term meant that it was a story that doesn’t fit into the existing continuity and has no impact on the status quo. Many of the imaginary stories in the Man of Steel’s history focused on what might happen if Lois finally managed to rope him into marrying him, and, apart from that jumping-off point, didn’t differ much in terms of content or location in the way that Elseworlds stories often do.

Over on the Marvel side of the aisle, a similar concept existed in the form of What If…?, a series that provided answers to questions like, “What if Spider-Man had joined the Fantastic Four?”

Where What If…? differed, though, was that the jumping-off point was a moment in an existing, in-continuity story and exploring what might have happened – or rather, what did happen in an alternate universe being observed by Uatu, the Watcher, who served as something of a host for the book – if events had played out a bit differently.

So you might see what happens in a reality in which the Punisher’s family isn’t killed (they just end up getting killed at a later date and he ends up more-or-less becoming the Punisher), or if the Avengers had lost their battle with the cosmically-powered Korvac (that one is a personal favorite).

It also differed in that it was a regular series, whereas Elseworld stories were generally presented in one-off specials, though there was one year in which the Annuals for each series DC published at the time featured an Elseworlds story.

Presumably, those Superman Elseworlds stories will be collected in a later volume, but this one only contains stories from the one-off specials.

Most of them came out during the period in which I wasn’t buying comics, so I’m only familiar with the story Kal, in which we are presented with a story in which young Kal-El’s ship arrives not in modern Kansas, but rather in feudal England. Raised by peasant farmers, the young Kryptonian is ultimately drafted into service as a blacksmith’s apprentice in the village of Lexford, where he becomes smitten with the Lady Loisse, daughter of the area’s rightful ruler, who is being held hostage by the Baron Luthor, who killed her father and took control of the region. After winning a contest of strength at a tournament held in honor of her birthday, the handsome lad catches Loisse’s eye, too, and earn the hatred of her captor.

In time, Luthor and his men find and claim Kal’s ship, buried on his parents’ farm, and Kal is tasked with creating a suit of armor for the Baron from the unnaturally strong metal. As payment for his service, Kal asks for – and receives – Loisse’s hand in marriage.

Many Elseworlds stories have less-than happy endings, which is, I suppose a natural consequence of writing a story that, unlike those in the main continuity, are able to have a definitive end, and there is the opportunity to turn an entire mythos upside down.

Of course, these are Superman stories, so it’s not really easy – or natural, at least – to tell a story that is entirely devoid of hope.

Much of Kal proves to be bleak and brutal – on the night of the wedding of Kal and Loisse, Luthor hauls Loisse away to his bedchamber, as is his right according to feudal law, and when Loisse will not give in to him, he beats her to death. As Luthor wears about his neck a mysterious green gem that fell from the sky, Kal is unable to use his great strength to overthrow him, though, at the cost of his own life, he is eventually able to kill him using a sword he secretly forged for himself from the metal of his ship, thereby avenging the death of his beloved and setting free the people of Lexford.

Before finally succumbing to his mortal wounds – we learn from the now much older Jamie Ollson, who had been Kal’s friend in his youth and is telling this tale to his young apprentice, a boy named Merlin – Kal put the sword somewhere for safekeeping so that one day another hero might pull it forth in a time of great need.

Distant Fires tells a similarly bleak-yet-hopeful story in which Superman finds himself haunted by the ghosts of his loved ones as the last survivor of yet another planet after a full-scale nuclear war destroys the world. Rendered powerless by the radiation, in time, he finds that other heroes – and villains – also survived and are similarly bereft of their powers. Together, they set about the task of rebuilding civilization, and eventually find their powers returning. The resentment Billy (Captain Marvel) Batson feels towards Superman, who was always his better in their previous lives, and whose arrival throws his new life into disarray, ultimately leads to a war between the survivors, and to the utter destruction of the Earth. The note of hope arrives in the form of the cycle beginning anew, as Superman uses a Green Lantern ring to build a ship to send his son, Bruce, the result of his marriage to Wonder Woman, to the safety of another world.

Speeding Bullets is a much more explicitly hopeful story, one that finds Kal-El’s ship landing just outside Gotham City, where it’s found by Thomas and Martha Wayne. As in the normal continuity, this Bruce Wayne loses his parents to a gunman, and in time pus on the cape and cowl of Batman, but, in time, with the love of Lois Lane to help guide him, he moves beyond the pain that had defined him and driven him to acts of vicious brutality, and rather than working to inspire fear as the Batman, chooses to inspire hope as Superman.

A Nation Divided finds young Atticus (a nice touch) Kent taking up the cause of the Union during the Civil War, and in short order brings the conflict to a close, but after learning his true origins he discovers an even greater destiny.

Superman, Inc., tells of a foundling adopted by the Suderman family, but by the time he turns five, young Dale loses both of his parents. The trauma of the loss of his mother – she panics and falls down the stairs when he shows her that he can fly – leaves him socially and emotionally isolated, until he realizes that his powers can be used for, well, not good, but gain. He becomes the world’s greatest athlete – nicknamed “Superman” by the press – and lives a life of shallow excess, until finally learning that there is more to life, and to himself and his powers, than the pursuit of wealth and fame.

And finally, drawing on the coincidental timing of the debut of Action Comics #1 and the infamous Orson Welles radio broadcast in 1938, War of the Worlds tells the story of a Martian invasion occurring within the original continuity of Superman, back in his leaping tall buildings in a single bound days.

The challenge of crafting an Elseworlds story lies in the finding a way to recontextualize characters but doing so in such a way that they are still recognizable, despite the unfamiliarity of their surroundings and their circumstances. After all, what’s the point of writing a story about Superman if he’s not, well, Superman, at least in the broad strokes? And so, even when Superman is Batman he’s still Superman.

It’s not simply a matter of having the powers, it’s the very core of the character. Even the shallow, fame-seeking Dale Suderman eventually finds his center – and does so, in the very on-the-nose manner, of eventually taking on the identity of Clark Kent – and Bruce Wayne and Atticus Kent realize that they have more to offer the world than what they accomplish through their initially narrow focus.

Many people argue that Superman is boring, because he’s too powerful, and too good, and while it’s true that the very nature of the character imposes limitations on the narrative, I’m off the opinion that, at the best of times, anyway, these limitations challenge and inspire the writers – and the readers – to strive harder and to think more broadly, and to be better.

Which is exactly what Superman does.

Here, the writers have varying degrees of success in that regard – A Nation Divided is the weakest of the lot, in my estimation, as it presents an interesting alternate history, but does very little to raise the narrative stakes – but they’re all worthy efforts. Even Chaykin, who can be problematic as a writer, provides some interesting insights in Distant Fires, as we see the former Man of Steel forced to violate his beliefs about the sanctity of life to survive as a non-super man in a hostile environment, but provides an explanation for why that former idealism was so vital when he did have his godlike powers.

(For a clear illustration of that point, I recommend watching the Elsewords-ish animated movie Justice League: Gods and Monsters in which we see just how pants-shittingly terrifying it would be to have a Superman who, while still mostly on the side of the angels, has no qualms about killing.)

The story’s metatextual examination of the relationship between Superman and Captain Marvel, while in many ways reflective of the real-world conflict between the owners of the characters and the impact that the appearance of the Big Red Cheese on the newsstands had on Superman’s sales, and the legal conflict that ensued, feels somewhat tacked-on, as Chaykin’s approach to Billy Batson misses the mark when shooting for that retention of the character’s core that I believe is so vital in these kinds of stories.

The good news is that, across the board, the art is fantastic. It’s difficult to fail to deliver in that regard when two of the stories are illustrated by the late, great Eduard Barreto – one of my all-time favorite artists – and another two are illustrated by José Luis García-López, who is, as I am wont to say, a goddamn national treasure.

The Chaykin-penned story features art by the legendary Gil Kane paired with Kevin Nowlan, and the result is utterly gorgeous.

Michael Lark is no slouch either, managing to perfectly marry a more modern sensibility with the original simplicity of the work of Joe Schuster in the era in which War of the Worlds is set.

While they don’t technically fall under the Elseworlds imprint, I hope that some of the imaginary stories of old manage to find their way into future volumes, or at least into their own collections.

As a kid, I first encountered “imaginary stories” in a digest collecting some of the best, and I literally loved it to death – I read and re-read it so many times that it fell apart. (At a comic show a couple of years back I even picked up the original comic in which one of the stories appeared. This one.)

There is a wealth of material, such as the stories included in that long-lost digest – one of them even featured Clark Kent becoming Batman…before eventually becoming Superman – the main features that ran in old Superman comics, and some of the back-up stories that ran in the comics of my youth. One such back-up, like Speeding Bullets, told of a world in which young Kal-El was found by the Waynes. There was another story, set in the unimaginably distant future of 2020 that focused on Superman III. No, not the terrible movie with Richard Pryor, but Superman the Third, the grandson of Superman, who for some reason decided to make his life even more complicated by maintaining two separate secret identities.

Given the disdain that so many writers and readers feel for the constraints of continuity, one would think that there’d be quite a market for imaginary stories of the Elseworlds variety, but, apart from a handful of specials, the line has been relatively dormant for quite some time. Perhaps – as indicated by this volume and the adaptation of Gotham by Gaslight (such as it is) – we’re due for something of a resurgence. I believe that strange times and places in which imaginary versions of what are already imaginary stories can, will, and should exist.

KINGDOM COME 20th ANNIVERSARY DELUXE EDITION – One of the ultimate Elseworlds epics that gets to the heart of what makes heroes, and comics, great. In the near-future world of KINGDOM COME, superheroes are ubiquitous, but heroism is rare. After decades as Earth’s champions, the members of the Justice League have all retreated out of the public eye, replaced with a new generation of crime-fighters whose brand of harsh justice leaves humanity terrified, rather than inspired. But with the planet’s future in jeopardy, Superman, Wonder Woman and Batman must come out of retirement to make one last stand for truth and justice. Collects KINGDOM COME #1-4 and more than one hundred pages of sketches, annotations and other extras!

SUPERMAN & BATMAN: GENERATIONS, AN IMAGINARY TALE – John Byrne crafts a tale that starts in 1939 and follows events as they unfold in real time, without reboots, or infinite universes, showing the lives and careers of the original Superman and Batman as they progress through the ages, each book focusing on a particular era, and presented in a style that mirrors the dominant style of comic book storytelling of the time.

SUPERBOY’S LEGION – Young Kal-El, as he usually does, arrives on Earth after being rocketed from the doomed planet Krypton – in the 30th Century, where he is found and raised by R.J. Brande, the richest man in the universe.

ALL STAR SUPERMAN – Not, strictly speaking, an Elseworlds story, but…come on, everyone should read this.
Witness the Man of Steel in exciting new adventures featuring Lex Luthor, Jimmy Olsen, Lois Lane, Bizarro, and more! The Man of Steel goes toe-to-toe with Bizarro, his oddball twin, and the new character Zibarro, also from the Bizarro planet. And Superman faces the final revenge of Lex Luthor – in the form of his own death! Writer Grant Morrison teams with artist Frank Quitely on this spectacular reimagining of the Superman mythos, from The Man of Steel’s origin to his greatest foes and beyond.

That does it for this week’s Spotlight Sunday. It was nice living in this alternate reality in which the Weigh In got so many votes. If it had been like this every week I…would still have to get a job, because the ad revenue boost was minimal, but it would have at least made the effort feel a little bit more worthwhile, so thanks to everyone who had a hand in crafting this Elseworlds version of the Weigh In.

You still have at least one more chance to be part of it, so check back on Wednesday.

4 thoughts on “Spotlight Sunday 2.11.18”

  1. “After all, what’s the point of writing a story about Superman if he’s not, well, Superman, at least in the broad strokes?” Yes Snyder/WB what could possible be the point of that. Cheap shot I know.

  2. “I’m of the opinion that, at the best of times, anyway, these limitations challenge and inspire the writers – and the readers – to strive harder and to think more broadly, and to be better.” Totally agree. I usually say that writers who complain that Superman is impossible to write aren’t trying hard enough.

    Here’s Jeph Loeb, one of my favorite Superman writers: “Kryptonite is not what his weakness is. It happens to be a form of his weakness that you can actually physically defeat him. The real way you would go about destroying Superman is through his heart. He cares too much.”

    1. Yeah, I had (and still have) a lot more that I could have said on the subject, but I was running behind schedule in getting this posted as it was.
      Neil Gaiman wrote a Superman/Green Lantern story (that went unpublished for a number of years) in which, while battling some kind of demon (my memory is fuzzy and I’m too lazy to dig the comic out), our heroes find themselves trapped in Hell (or a Hell, at any rate).
      There’s a scene that gets to the heart of Superman. Superman’s captors are inflicting the worst torture on him that they can, not by doing anything to him, but rather by preventing him from helping all of the other damned souls around him.

NOTE: All the numbers on this page are for the 2009-2010 House election cycle and based on Federal Election Commission data available electronically on May 01, 2013.  ("Help! The numbers don't add up...")

Sometimes it's hard to make apple-to-apple comparisons across some of the pages in a candidate's profile. Here's why:

Summary numbers - specifically "Total Raised and Spent" and "PAC/Individual Split" - are based on summary reports filed by the candidates with the Federal Election Commission. All other numbers in these profiles ("Quality of Disclosure," "Geography" and "Special Interests") are derived from detailed FEC reports that itemize all contributions of $200 or more.

There is also a time lag in posting the information. While summary numbers are reported almost immediately by the FEC -- and listed quickly on OpenSecrets -- processing and analyzing the detailed records takes much longer. For that reason, summary numbers are usually higher (and more current) than the numbers based on detailed records.

The figures in these profiles are taken from databases uploaded by the FEC to the internet on the first day of every month. Those databases are only as current as the FEC has been able to compile by that date (see the note above about lag times for data entry).

The Center updates figures for "Total Raised and Spent" and for "PAC/Individual Split" a few days after the first of the month. The remaining figures - based on detailed contribution data - is updated by the Center after the 20th of every month. This gives us time to analyze the contributions and categorize them by industry and interest group.

A Guide to Senior Care5 min read

by | May 9, 2018 | Healthy Living, home care

There are tons of options for senior care, and finding the right assistance for your loved one can be a challenge. Each type is not the best fit for everyone and there are many benefits to each kind. From home health care to nursing homes, here is our guide to the benefits of each type of senior care!

Home Health Care

Home health care gives your loved ones the most independence out of all the senior care options. With home health care, you can hire a nurse or aide to provide care to your loved ones in the comfort of their own homes. Depending on the agency you hire, services that may be offered include physical, occupational, or speech therapy as well as skilled nursing. Home health care aids and nurses are there to help out your loved ones with day-to-day activities as well as monitoring their medications.

Independent Living Community

An independent living community is an apartment-style facility that is perfect for someone who is able to live somewhat independently but may need a little assistance. In an independent living community, residents can dine together, do activities, and enjoy entertainment together, and they have access to medical care when they need it. Having your loved one live in an independent living community is a safe living environment that allows them to maintain most of their independence while also getting lots of social interaction and assistance when needed.

Assisted Living Community

Assisted living communities are similar to independent living communities in that they typically are apartment style and are good for those who still want some independence. Assisted living communities are perfect for your loved ones who need help with their day-to-day activities. They are still able to live an independent lifestyle in an assisted living community, but they have access to regular support. Like an independent living community, residents in assisted living communities have access to dining as well as activities and entertainment. They also have access to health care. In assisted living communities, residence have 24-hour supervision and assistance, so they are always able to get the help they need. Some assisted living communities may also offer housekeeping, maintenance, salon, or laundry services.

Nursing Home

There are a few different types of nursing homes available for seniors. Some are set up like hospitals with medical care, as well as physical, speech and occupational therapy with a nurses’ station on each floor. Other nursing home facilities look more like assisted and independent living communities and have a homey feel to them. Meals are typically served in a specific dining area and, if a resident is too ill to be transported to the dining area, they can have their meals delivered to their room. Many nursing homes also have specific units or locations for those with Alzheimer’s disease or dementia. Nursing homes are a good option for your loved ones who need 24-hour medical care.

It’s important to find the right type of senior care for your loved ones depending on their personal needs. What other benefits of senior care do you know of? Let us know! If someone in your life is needing some help during the week, call Optimal Home Care to talk about your options!

Our home is in the country up on a hill overlooking the valley. We have all kinds of wildlife here. WE feed the birds and the wild turkeys get their fair share. You can almost pet the deer and we have cats, dogs, and one bird. There is a courtyard in the front with a fountain and my flower beds. In the back we have a sunroom that overlooks the country side. When the residents are able we like to take them shopping and out to eat with us. We eat all are meals together and keep to a family atmosphere. I'm a Class 111 home and give the option to my residents to live out there life in comfort and tranquility.

The Temple City woman found shot to death at her home on Easter Sunday was a recently retired teacher who friends say could always be seen with a smile.

Carmen Garcia, 65, taught at-risk students at Alhambra’s Independence and Century high schools, where she worked one-on-one with her pupils.

She retired at the end of the school year in 2011, and many staff members at Century took Monday off after hearing about Garcia’s death.

“Everybody’s just in shock and devastated that this would happen to her,” said Debbie Rea, the school registrar, who was an off-campus friend of Garcia’s.

Students also had plenty of questions about Garcia at Century.

“She was an excellent teacher and the kids all loved her,” said Frank Donnelly, a Century math teacher who retired at the same time as Garcia and worked closely with her. “She was a really classy lady. “

Garcia had been coping with the death of her husband, Arturo, whom she had planned to spend more time with during her retirement.

The couple led an active lifestyle, Rea said. Garcia bicycled often down the San Gabriel River trail and she and her husband often went boating at Lake Havasu, where they owned a home.

Garcia retired about the same time as her husband, and the couple had planned to travel more and spend time with their daughter and two grandchildren, friends said.

“That was all cut short,” Rea said.

The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department is still seeking clues and suspects in the killing. Garcia’s daughter found her in the kitchen on Sunday after not hearing from her since Thursday.

Results of an autopsy on Tuesday aren’t being released to the public because of the investigation, a Los Angeles County Coroner spokesman said.

The Re-enserfment of Western Peoples — Paul Craig Roberts

The Re-enserfment of Western Peoples

Paul Craig Roberts

The re-enserfment of Western peoples is taking place on several levels. One about which I have been writing for more than a decade comes from the offshoring of jobs. Americans, for example, have a shrinking participation in the production of the goods and services that are marketed to them.

On another level we are experiencing the financialization of the Western economy about which Michael Hudson is the leading expert (Killing The Host). Financialization is the process of removing any public presence in the economy and converting the economic surplus into interest payments to the financial sector.

These two developments deprive people of economic prospects. A third development deprives them of political rights. The Trans-Pacific and Trans-Atlantic Partnerships eliminate political sovereignty and turn governance over to global corporations.

These so called “trade partnerships” have nothing to do with trade. These agreements negotiated in secrecy grant immunity to corporations from the laws of the countries in which they do business. This is achieved by declaring any interference by existing and prospective laws and regulations on corporate profits as restraints on trade for which corporations can sue and fine “sovereign” governments. For example, the ban in France and other counries on GMO products would be negated by the Trans-Atlantic Partnership. Democracy is simply replaced by corporate rule.

I have been meaning to write about this at length. However, others, such as Chris Hedges, are doing a good job of explaining the power grab that eliminates representative government.

The corporations are buying power cheaply. They bought the entire US House of Representatives for just under $200 million. This is what the corporations paid Congress to go along with “Fast Track,” which permits the corporations’ agent, the US Trade Representative, to negotiate in secret without congressional input or oversight. http://www.opednews.com/articles/Almost-200-Million-Donate-by-Paola-Casale-Banking_Congress_Control_Corporations-150620-523.html

In other words, a US corporate agent deals with corporate agents in the countries that will comprise the “partnership,” and this handful of well-bribed people draw up an agreement that supplants law with the interests of corporations. No one negotiating the partnership represents the peoples’ or public’s interests. The governments of the partnership countries get to vote the deal up or down, and they will be well paid to vote for the agreement.

Once these partnerships are in effect, government itself is privatized. There is no longer any point in legislatures, presidents, prime ministers, judges. Corporate tribunals decide law and court rulings.

It is likely that these “partnerships” will have unintended consequences. For example, Russia and China are not part of the arrangements, and neither are Iran, Brazil, India, and South Africa, although seperately the Indian government appears to have been purchased by American agribusiness and is in the process of destroying its self-sufficient food production system. These countries will be the repositories for national sovereignty and public control while freedom and democracy are extinguished in the West and the West’s Asian vassals.

Violent revolution throughout the West and the complete elimination of the One Percent is another possible outcome. Once, for example, the French people discover that they have lost all control over their diet to Monsanto and American agribusiness, the members of the French government that delivered France into dietary bondage to toxic foods are likely to be killed in the streets.

Events of this sort are possible throughout the West as peoples discover that they have lost all control over every aspect of their lives and that their only choice is revolution or death.

Service Dog Pups Training in San Antonio to Help Injured Veterans

 In News, PPH BLog, PPH San Antonio

Paws for Purple Hearts Team San Antonio has been quite active since our grand opening in September!

We have been settling in nicely with the help of our great partners at Port San Antonio. We spent a great deal of time and effort to help prepare service dog Ann for her assignment to a Veteran inFairbanks, Alaska. We have also been working with service dog-in-training Noah, who is showing great progress. And just as exciting – we recently welcomed our three newest four-legged service dog trainees!

This fall and winter, we joined together with our Fairbanks, Alaska team to help ad the finishing touches to Ann’s extensive training as she prepared for her permanent assignment to a Veteran in Fairbanks. We are overjoyed to report that it worked out wonderfully; Ann successfully completed all her preparation and training and she has now joined Veteran Jeff Bizarro in a great new partnership together in Alaska.

While Ann was spending her summer in San Antonio, she worked with our program instructors to learn how to get around a big city and become more familiar with the many sights and sounds she would encounter in that very busy and potentially distracting urban environment.  She experienced and became comfortable with such new experiences as the Riverwalk river cruise, carriages with horses, automobile, bus and truck traffic and of course, cowboy hats!  Noah, much younger and less experienced, came along and learned a lot from the more seasoned Ann about how a true service dog should behave in public.  He took a lot of advice from Ann, and now shows great potential to help reduce the symptoms of Post-traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and/or Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) as he continues along the path toward becoming a full-fledged Paws for Purple Hearts service dog for a wounded Warrior.

Just a month ago, service dog-in-training Schatzie joined our San Antonio team.  She flew in from the Bergin University of Canine Studies in Rohnert Park, California to join our efforts to help active duty Service Members and Veterans.  You may recognize her as “orange collar” from the University’s puppy cam.  Schatzie is already making a difference.  She has provided social therapy to dozens of Veterans at several VA facilities in South Texas.  She is growing into a wonderful young pup with great confidence!

We are very excited to announce our two newest recruits, Rusty and Lucy! They are from a program called Project2Heal located in North Carolina.  We are happy to have them in our Canine Assisted Therapy program at our facility.  They have also joined us for social therapy visits to Audie L. Murphy Memorial VA Hospital, and Kerrville VA Medical Center right here in South Texas.

PPH Noah with Kriser’s Donations
PPH Noah with the wonderful donations from our friends at Kriser’s Natural Pet Food, Stone Oak, Texas

A big shout out of gratitude goes to Kriser’s Natural Pet Food in Stone Oak, TX!  They started our pups Rusty and Lucy off right with a wonderful donation of snacks and toys!  If you would like to help supply our puppies with fun toys and treats as well, you can find a link to our Amazon wish list devoted to the addition of our new pups here!  Our pups in training greatly appreciate all the love and support of their puppy raising families, volunteers, and your gracious donations!

We are excited to see what 2018 will bring!  On behalf of Team San Antonio, we wish you and your family and friends a very Happy New Year!

Unemployed Romanian Hacker Accused of Breaking Into NASA

Romanian authorities have arrested a 26-year old hacker who is accused of breaking into multiple NASA servers and causing US$500,000 in damages to the U.S. space agency's systems.

Robert Butyka, 26, was arrested on Tuesday in Cluj, a city in Western Romania, following an investigation by the Romanian Directorate for Investigating Organized Crime and Terrorism (DIICOT).

According to local reports, the hacker used the online moniker of "Iceman." He does not have a higher education or an occupation, a DIICOT spokeswoman said.

Butyka is accused of hacking into several NASA servers over a period of time that started on Dec. 12, 2010. The authorities claim that the hacker destroyed protected data and restricted access to it.

The charges brought against Butyka include obtaining unauthorized access and causing severe disruptions to a computer system, modifying, damaging and restricting access to data without authorization and possession of hacking programs.

The man will spend 24 hours in police custody while prosecutors seek a court order to extend the detention period. Authorities seized several computers at his home during a raid.

"Through criminal activity, the accused severely affected the operation of computer servers by introducing, modifying and damaging electronic data and restricting access to it," DIICOT said in a statement. The hacker will be tried in Romania as there is no extradition request in his case.

Butyka is not the first Romanian hacker to break into computer systems belonging to NASA. In fact, the U.S. space agency is a common target for hackers looking to prove their skills.

Victor Faur, a Romanian man who hacked into multiple servers belonging to NASA, the U.S. Department of Energy and the U.S. Navy in 2005, is currently appealing a court verdict ordering him to pay damages of $240,000 to the U.S. government.

Faur received a 16-month suspended prison sentence in November 2008, but he claimed that he didn't damage the systems he accessed without authorization. According to his legal defense team, the U.S. government failed to provide sufficient proof that would justify the damage calculation.

Another Romanian hacker who calls himself TinKode has built an online reputation by breaking into high-profile servers. TinKode's list of compromised systems includes multiple NASA Web servers.

In Pictures: Oppo R15 Pro Unboxed

  • All in all, the unboxing experience here is pretty similar to the R11 and R11s.

  • There's a little cardboard sleeve with the transparent carry case inside it. The device itself also arrives wrapped in plastic.

  • Taking it off takes only a moment, and then you can really take-in the full impact of the R15's shiny design.

  • Underneath the device, you've got the usual headphones, MicroUSB cable and charger

Stockton and friends bring First Tee program to Inland Empire

SAN BERNARDINO — He barely recognizes the hometown he loves, but it doesn’t matter. Dave Stockton remains loyal to San Bernardino.

So when the 10-time PGA Tour winner – and two-time major champion – says he wants to help his tattered community, once known as the “All American City,” he means it.

“I remember San Bernardino in the old days,” Stockton, 75, said recently. “I remember Arrowhead Junior High School. I remember Pacific High School. I remember living just above the railroad tracks on 30th (Street), below the golf course.

“San Bernardino was, to me, like Redlands is now, but San Bernardino has gone another direction. You’ve got to start somewhere, and I think it starts with the kids.”

That’s where The First Tee comes in.

Well-known across the United States for its work with youth through golf, the organization has arrived in the Inland Empire — and specifically the I-10 corridor — with an official I.E. chapter gaining approval last month after two years of planning, organizing and fundraising.

The First Tee is a youth development program that bills itself as “introducing the game of golf and its inherent values to young people.” The organization centers on its nine core values it stresses to kids — courtesy, judgment, honesty, integrity, sportsmanship, respect, confidence, responsibility and perseverance.

According to its web site, The First Tee “served more than 5.3 million young people in 2016.”

“People have to understand, The First Tee doesn’t build golfers,” Stockton said.

“I don’t care if they play golf or not. I want to build people.”

If, in fact, it was just about some kids putting around after school — and they do that, too — then it would be a nice tale to tell. But The First Tee and its chapter directors believe the program fills more than one need in the Inland Empire.

A quick search of golf headlines from the past year include, “Why Fewer People are Golfing” (Bloomberg), “The Death of Golf” (Men’s Journal) and the “Rapid Decline of Golf” (Politicus Sports). The articles cite the game’s high costs for both playing and equipment, country club exclusivity and length of play — rounds that go on for 5-6 hours in some cases — as reasons for declining popularity. Though not the primary goal, the hope is re-introducing golf to a new generation can re-energize interest.

Secondly, bringing it to San Bernardino was a priority. Already stung by a bankruptcy filing and an economic downturn that traces back to the closing of Norton Air Force base in the early 1990s, the Dec. 2, 2015, attack at Inland Regional Center further stigmatized the city. Monday’s shooting at North Park Elementary School continued that unfortunate reputation.

“I look at San Bernardino, and I don’t remember San Bernardino being this way,” said Stockton, a Pacific High School graduate.

Thirdly, the Inland chapter may be a way to save a piece of San Bernardino Golf Club — known by locals simply as “Waterman” — which is slated for future closure and development.

Stockton and fellow San Bernardino native J.T. Visbal, who heads the Inland chapter, envision a golf facility on the backside of what presently is the par-70 course — the part of the course on the west side of the Santa Ana River — that would include up to as many as six holes, a putting green, and driving range.

“We’re not quite sure of the complete structure of what we’re going to build there,” Stockton said. “We have a good chance to build some holes where the kids would be able to come out and play and let the community utilize it.”

The First Tee’s Inland chapter has been a labor of love for Visbal, who in 1994 was instrumental in starting the Wooden Classic at Honda Center.

It took two years to gain chapter status. A boost in funding, including six-figure donations from Loma Linda University Children’s Hospital and Stater Bros., the Yucaipa-born and San Bernardino-based grocery chain, helped the chapter gain the required funding. The late Jack Brown, Stater Bros.’ former executive chairman, was a good friend of Stockton’s, and the company has a track record of community involvement.

The chapter already ran clinics, or “drive classes” set up at the back of Burrage Mansion property in Redlands. There, program development director Jay Larson — another San Bernardino native and Pacific graduate — instructs as elementary-age kids putt, chip and hit on a three-hole mini-course built on a tree-lined piece of land. Drive classes have also been held at Yucaipa Valley Golf Club and Colton Golf Club. Larson is a former club pro, former triathlete and Champions Tour Q-School finalist.

On Monday, the chapter held its first life skills course — a more in-depth clinic focusing on the full curriculum of the nine core values — after a ribbon-cutting opening at Yucaipa Valley.

“It’s a full involved, full-integrated program,” Visbal said.

Elise Powell, a 10-year-old, fourth grader at Judson & Brown Elementary School in Redlands, attends drive classes frequently. Her mother, Dawn, likes what she sees.

“She has an opportunity to learn a skill that most kids don’t have an opportunity to learn,” she said at a recent class. “She enjoys it. I was asking that on the way here today. She said she looks forward to continuing.”

“I was actually talking to her about going to Pebble Beach one day,” she added.

Imperial Pilsner

Why are some beers called imperial or double? Imperial and double are synonyms for more (more, in this case, referring to more alcohol). With more alcohol, you usually get more other things, like hops. Some styles lend themselves to imperial or double versions more readily, but any style can become "more" by simply increasing the malt in the boil which adds more fermentable sugar. For this cod and potato dish, we think an imperial pilsner will provide a "bigger" beer for the fish.

Arches Brewings Enoblement Imperial Pilsner

Aged Chardonnay - Napa Valley, CA

Aged Chardonnays from the New World take on a very different character with age, as spice and vanilla notes from the barrel morph in to toast, beeswax, and nuts. Acidity becomes more pronounced, achieving a balance of delicacy and richness between cod and the potatoes.

Stony Hill Chardonnay, Napa Valley, CA

• Heat oven to 425° F. • Grease or line a baking sheet.
MISE EN PLACE • Slice potato. • Pick and finely chop parsley leaves. • Peel and finely chop garlic. • Discard tough asparagus ends; cut tender spears into 3-inch lengths.
• Toss potato with 2 teaspoons olive oil and 1/4 teaspoon PeachDish Salt. • Spread in a single layer. Roast in oven 15 minutes.
While potatoes roast, in a bowl combine 2 tablespoons olive oil, parsley, garlic, Italian herb blend, vinegar, 1/4 teaspoon PeachDish Salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. This is your salsa verde.
• Toss asparagus with 1 teaspoon olive oil. • Season cod on all sides with a total 1/4 teaspoon PeachDish Salt.
When potatoes have roasted 15 minutes: • Scatter asparagus over potatoes. Top with cod. • Roast in oven until vegetables are tender and cod is flaky and opaque throughout, about 10 minutes.
• Divide vegetables and cod between 2 plates. • Top with salsa verde, and enjoy!

  • Tax Solutions … And Peace Of Mind

What is the difference between tax fraud and tax negligence, and why does it matter? P.3

We’ve been looking in recent posts at the difference between tax fraud and negligence, and emphasizing the importance of taxpayers working with an experienced attorney when the IRS decides to investigate reporting discrepancies.

It is important for the taxpayer that a tax investigation is as accurate as possible, since the penalties he or she faces, if any, depend on the investigator’s conclusions and subsequent agency actions based on them. Working with an experienced attorney during the audit process can help ensure these matters are effectively addressed and that the taxpayer’s interests and rights are protected throughout the process. This is particularly important if an audit is likely to result in penalties or referral for criminal prosecution.

Different standards of proof and penalties apply for tax fraud and tax negligence. In determining what penalties are appropriate, the IRS takes all the circumstances of the case into consideration, including the level of knowledge the taxpayer had, whether the taxpayer relied on the advice of a tax attorney or the services of a return preparer. The taxpayer’s explanations for discrepancies are important to navigate in this regard.

Even if a taxpayer’s case is not referred for criminal investigation, it is still possible to face civil fraud charges. A lower standard of proof applies for civil fraud, but the penalties can still be significant. Working with an attorney in the process allows a taxpayer not only to provide all the necessary information, documentations, and explanations necessary, but also to have sound representation in negotiating any penalties that may arise.

Caring for People With Fall Risks

Health care providers can help reduce patient's chances of falling and of suffering serious injuries like hip fractures and traumatic brain damage. Every day, in nursing homes located throughout the United States, hundreds of residents will experience one or more falls. Prevention of falls, whether causing injury or not, is a key safety issue in health care settings.

The interest in fall prevention has flourished and, as a result, our thinking about falls has dramatically changed. We now have a better understanding of why falls occur and, more importantly, what can be done to prevent falls from happening. As health care providers, we have a responsibility to promote the safety of our patients, residents, or clients. This means learning how to care for people that carry an increase risk of falls.
