Hello my name is Terrance. I am a first generation college student. I grew up on the Avenue section of Ventura. Since I was a kid, I have always wanted to be a musician. I decided the best way to achieve this goal was to go to college. I chose Ventura College because I felt that it would give me the best opportunity to transfer to a 4yr University. I am currently finishing my second semester at Ventura College as a Music major. My overall goal at VC is to be well prepared to transfer to CSUN (Cal State, University of Northridge), or UCLA (University of California, Los Angeles). Both universities have excellent music programs that would be beneficial to my overall growth.

I joined FYE after reading about the program in a student newsletter. The program seemed good on the surface and I figured there really wouldn't be anything to loose and a lot to gain from a program like this. They offered to check in with students to make sure they are on track with their goals, peer networking, activities and so much more. However, what I have found to be the most helpful is the endless amount of information they give that helps a student navigate their way through college. As first generation college student, this was the jewel of the program.

I would definitely encourage a student who is considering joining the FYE program to join. This program can offer things that a normal student wouldn't even know they need. I feel that I am ahead of my peers by joining this program. I believe that a program like this should be a requirement rather than an option.

My name is Berenice Castañeda, I have lived in Oxnard my whole life. My father is an agricultural worker and my mother is a housewife. They never finished school because they were always trying to make ends meet. My sisters and I will be the first generation to fulfill the American Dream. We will  also be able to be economically stable and not struggle through life the way my parents did. I have decided to go to Ventura College for two years and transfer to a university with an ADT in Mathematics. I am pursuing a bachelor’s degree in math because I value education. I've joined many programs such as FYE, MESA and EOPS because it helps me with resources and has kept me informed about various opportunities, such as internships and scholarships. FYE has helped me get to know VC. I have learned about financial assistance, tutoring and creating my educational plan for transfer. I would recommend joining FYE if you want to connect with VC resources and develop a transfer plan. I want to help make new students first-year experience a  great one by becoming an FYE peer leader.

I’m Raeal Woodfork, a 39 year old student in my second semester here at VC. I grew up in Ventura County attending several local High Schools. Those days were pretty traumatic for a kid trying to figure herself out, who she is and where she belongs.  I’m currently working on my A.S. in Natural Science. My last job was working in politics for a lobbyist group, but due to health issues I was forced to leave the company. The driving force behind my returning to school after 22 years in the work force was money.  While I was still employed by the lobbyist group, a women was hired to manage over my position. She worked half my hours and made three times my pay since she had a B. A.    degree. My plan is to obtain both an Associates and Bachelor’s degree in the sciences. I joined FYE after my group counselor made the suggestion during the first on-campus orientation. The morning of the FYE orientation I really didn’t want to bother getting out of bed so early with one week until school began.  Understanding there were limited spaces and I was occupying one of them forced me to get out of bed. I’m so glad I joined. One week before the fall semester started, I knew all the student services available, their locations and the heads of each department. I also knew were my classes were located and borrowed three of the four books I needed for the semester from the VC    lending library. Additionally, I walked away with a group of people I could call friends, making the prospects of school less intimidating.  I’ve connected with VC in ways I never thought possible. I have made amazing friends and have been privileged to take classes where my professors truly care about my    success. Academically, I am very busy and would like the opportunity to    connect more with VC. Since I have this newsletter as an outlet I’d like to     encourage more students to join the FYE program. It gives you an edge over other freshmen students. The counseling staff are extremely friendly and  helpful beyond words. During my FYE counseling sessions I’ve had questions          answered that I didn’t even know I had.

Hello my name is Christian Viveros. I am a 29 year old Hispanic male. Born and raised here in Ventura County. I am a proud Ventura College student. A little about myself, I am first generation college student, my parents came to this country in order to give a brighter future to their children. I am the middle child of three and grew up in a rough neighborhood. My parents taught me good morals and always wanted a good education for my siblings and I. Unfortunately, financial means were an issue and my parents weren’t fortunate enough to understand how community college works. I ended up not doing too good in high school so I attended adult school and succeeded by obtaining my G.E.D.

Forwarding to now, I denied myself higher education for 11 years not giving myself a chance to become a more productive member of society. So I came to VC to see what I could find that would peak my interest. A couple of years ago I discovered the art of welding. I have always been fascinated by art and structures. Welding is a form of art and it comes into play when a structure is being erected. I fell in love with the process so I came to VC where welding is available. I am seeking a degree in welding. I didn’t know what I was going to do on the first day of school, so I decided to ask about any resources that I could help me get a tour of the college. I was told about Freshman Year Experience, the title said it all.

I was joining college as a freshman and would be able to benefit from this group. I came in a little nervous but soon let myself be guided by the peer leaders that were friendly and made me feel comfortable from the start. I met lots of people that were younger than me but I soon learned that age wasn’t an issue, we all have one thing in common and this is getting a higher education. I want to have fun doing what I do and gain financial stability. I now see a lot of the students who I met while in the FYE and feel comfortable in this environment. I learned about campus resources and how to get around campus. I learned about tutoring through my FYE counselor. I gained friends through this experience and always look forward to running into them on or off campus. Joining FYE as the best decision I made during the summer. The benefits of what I learned are going to help me now and in the future.

I would suggest that you give FYE a try. I did and look at me now, attesting to its benefits. I am blessed with good friends and got to meet lots of faculty, so when I do have a question I can simply ask my friends and my instructors. It will be a learning experience you will not regret.

photo of Adrian and Samuel Ponce
Adrian and Samuel Ponce are twin brothers from Santa Paula, California.  They attended Santa Paula High School and decided to join FYE because they wanted to get a head start, make new friends, and experience the college lifestyle before the fall semester began.  Samuel’s plan is to  major in Psychology and transfer to a four-year university.  He was inspired by his former high school teacher to become a psychology or sociology high school teacher or a high school guidance counselor. He wants to help guide students that are in need of direction.  When asked how FYE has helped him transition into his first year of college Samuel stated, “FYE has helped me LOVE my first semester of college. I am inspired to become a future FYE peer leader.  FYE is the best opportunity you’ll ever have in preparation for your first semester at VC”.

Adrian’s plan, while at VC, is to major in Political Science and  transfer to a four-year university to complete his bachelor’s degree.  Adrian also wants to join the U.S.  Army Reserve, “I want to be a Santa  Paula representative and represent my home from afar”.  Adrian’s ultimate career goal is to be able to work for the United Nations.    Adrian recommends FYE to  incoming students, “If you love meeting new people and want to      become confident on the first day of college then FYE is the right program for you”.  Adrian has joined ASVC and  Samuel has joined EOP&S at Ventura College. They’ve been active participants in Feed a Pirate, which is a program at VC that donates food to students and their families. Adrian is currently serving as curriculum committee student representative on campus.  Samuel ended his interview with this piece of advice, “They say high school are the best years of your life, I disagree. In college you have the opportunity to chase your dreams, meet amazing people and learn more about yourself. Stay hungry, always push yourself”. GO PIRATES!!!

photo of Grace Reilley
Hi! I’m Grace Reilley and this is my first year at Ventura College. I was raised in Fillmore but Ventura is soon making itself my second home.

I had the great opportunity to be in FYE, learning what VC has to offer and allowing me to become more comfortable with the people and the campus.  In FYE I was informed about a group on campus called ASVC which is the student government for Ventura College.

I joined ASVC, being appointed to Public Relations Director. I have a wonderful time and recommend it to anyone who is interested in improving the VC student’s experience.

While at VC, I plan to focus on working towards my associates degree and then transferring to a four-year university where I will major in Marine Biology.

For many years I have always been intrigued by deep sea fish and organisms and I hope that someday I can study them up close and personal. My family is very supportive towards my major and I can’t wait to see where it takes me.

photo of Jessica Gomez.
Hello my name is Jessica Gomez. I am a freshman at Ventura College, and I would like to share my journey to my path at Ventura College. But first I would like to take some time to talk about myself. I was born in Ventura, CA, but never  actually lived there. I have been living in Oxnard, CA all my life. I went to Pacifica High School and I am the third child in my family to go to college. I have played sports since I was five years old. I started with softball, but soon found my love for volleyball. My love of sports has followed me all through my school career and I hope it will continue. I've been a student athlete since 7th grade, and I would say playing sports has made me a more responsible student, for it helps me keep good grades because in order to play you must have the grades. I would say that ever since I've been in high school I have struggled to find my "calling in life" so to say; I have crossed paths with many different options, but I came to the conclusion that I love helping people. I am strong, independent, and I have patience to put others   safety first. I have what it takes to be a good nurse. I want to become a registered nurse with specialty options in midwife or cardiovascular nursing. My educational goal is to excel in all of my classes and to transfer to UCLA or UCI.

I joined FYE in hopes of finding my starting path for my future, and I can sure say the FYE program has helped me with a great jump start. Not only has it helped me plan for the future, it has made me encounter many great students and friends that are in the same journey as I am. If someone is looking for an educational and career plan, connect with resources and make great friends I would definitely encourage you to join the FYE program.

photo of Moussa Aboueid
Hello my name is is Moussa Aboueid and I was born in  Kuwait City, Kuwait. I was raised in a Syrian family and I speak Arabic, English, and Spanish. What makes me different from any other person is my motivation, hunger, and strive to be the best. I am an independent man out in the real world. Growing up with parents not knowing English was a difficult task for me when I needed help. Tackling 19 units during the fall and spring semester has kept me motivated. I want to get A’s in all of my courses. I'm a first generation college student. My parents lived in Syria (born and raised) and were able to graduate high school to pursue jobs. My mother in the agriculture field and father as a Mechanic. I went to Buena High School and graduated in 2015. My short term goals are to live with my parents and go to a community college while maintaining my job. I am on an all-star soccer team and I wish to remain on that team throughout college. My academic goal is to transfer to a UC, preferably UCLA. I want to get a Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering. My current career goal is to continue to get experience through internships and contribute to my community by tutoring and mentoring. I am currently a tutor for AVID. I work with students in the Ventura Unified. I’m also a Ventura college English tutor. I love teaching others. I am driven and want to give back to my community by helping future generation of engineers. I found out about FYE through group counseling and colleagues.  FYE helped me target my goals academically through tutoring and financial aid. My message to all is to participate in clubs and organizations so that you can to increase your social skills and even your grades. Getting involved in programs like FYE you are guaranteed support and resources (academically, financially, career goals).

Public Warning System (PWS)

A multi-platform warning system constitutes the core of the PWS project. Photo: Paneda AS

As part of the project "Public Warning System", the enterprise Paneda AS will research, develop and test a new and complete future population warning and evacuation system based on the digital radio broadcasting network - DAB. The system will alert and evacuate members of the public at critical incidents in a defined area and regardless of nationality. The warning will be delivered via audio, image, text, video, sirens, roadblocks, start/stop of machines etc.

The need for such a system has been clearly demonstrated through many acts of terrorism, extreme weather events, and environmental disasters and the Norwegian authorities need to implement better warning systems. The EU also requires population warning and Norway is subject to the same requirements through the EEA Agreement, with a deadline of 21 June 2022.

Existing warning systems are hampered by several problems and limitations: The mobile network is often out of service during a crisis situation, e.g. during extreme weather events, power outages or as large crowds assemble and overload the network. Another problem is how to reach people who are not listening to the radio, who do not have a mobile phone with them, or are not in possession of a mobile phone.

In addition, there is a significant problem with great distances and a time lag before the emergency services arrive, and when it comes to immediate evacuation of large crowds. The police can be far from the incident and it often takes a long time before the police are in place. The project will address these needs and develop a population warning system that meets the necessary requirements. The project will develop new knowledge and software and hardware for products, services and processes, and thereby stimulate new business opportunities both nationally and internationally.

The project partners are Paneda DAB AS, Telenor, Fram Web AS, Tectal AS, and Western Norway Research Institute (WNRI). The research institute will assist in working with methods and implementation of verification and validation both with interviews and checks when testing the system in specific areas to get feedback from users on how the notification works and is perceived. Testing and evaluation are necessary to make improvements during the project. In addition, WNRI will contribute to the efforts to expand internationally, based on more than 20 years of international R&D project experience, and the function as a support environment in the EU network Sogn og Fjordane.

During 2020 research work related to multiplatform and management systems will start. Also, verification and testing activities will be prepared and various dissemination activities will be carried out.

    When something happens, warning the public is a key objective. A new public warning system is due to be tested in a new, large R&D project. The system is developed by an enterprise in the region and aims for national as well as international markets.
    – This project ties together the three main areas of research at WNRI, says Anna Maria Urbaniak-Brekke, WNRI's coordinator.

Boost Your Cooking Blog Rank With The Right SEO Keywords

A lot of bloggers who blog about wellness may include healthy food and cooking in their website content, or might perhaps opt to fully focus on healthy recipes a their site/blog content. Regardless, comprehending the nitty-gritty of SEO for cooking and food blogs will aid you to have a higher rank in search results as well as obtain more traffic. Check out

Search Engine Optimization, better known as SEO, is a strategy of boosting your web posts in order that they could rank higher in search engines like Google.

Importance of Keywords

For instance, if you are searching for a recipe on “healthy desserts,” you would type those exact words on your search engine and it would provide you a result list. These results are ranked based on how the search engine thinks the request is best represented by each. Hence, the very first result on the search list is what the search engine thinks will best fulfill your request for “healthy desserts.”

When composing a post about cooking a recipe, there are particular things you could do to make certain your post has a great chance of getting a higher (or the highest) rank in those search results.  One key aspect to consider is the keywords you use.

Choosing the Right Keywords

This applies to every blogger; however food bloggers particularly struggle with this so much since it takes extra creativity and ingenuity in terming recipes as well as posts. Below are two major things to bear in mind when selecting keywords to aid your SEO initiatives:

  1. Use Keywords For Your Cooking Recipes That People Actually Search For

If this isn’t taken seriously, no matter how incredible your recipes are, the odds of them being seen or found by people are slim if the keywords you use aren’t what they search for.

If you hold a huge social following on social platforms like Instagram and Facebook, you may be able to gain an adequate quantity of traffic to a content/post even with keywords that are poorly chosen. However for search traffic that is organic, it has to comprise high-quality keywords that individuals are really typing in search engines to look for things.

  1. Use Long-Tail Keywords That Don’t Have Millions Of Incredible Results

Even with a remarkable food blog is, it’s very implausible to get a high rank with keywords such as “sandwiches” or  “oatmeal bars” since there are too many excellent results that are already extensively used.

As an alternative, make use of long-tail keywords, wherein you use longer and more precise phrases. For instance, rather than using “oatmeal bars,” you may use “no-bake oatmeal chocolate chip bar.”

Vino Veritas - Italian Wine Shop

In 1793 the then Agostino Uberti became the owner of a small farmhouse and the surrounding vineyards, in Salem ad Erbusco, allowing this winery to be one of the most historic in Franciacorta. In the seventies, when today's G. Agostino Uberti took over the leadership and together with his wife Eleonora, they concretized the true development of the winery, realizing in 1978 the first vintage suitable for Franciacorta.
In the years to come, they expanded the cellar premises and acquired further vineyards, reaching a vineyard area that today extends over 26 hectares with a production of about 180,000 bottles per year.Essentially in Erbusco, then Adro and Calino are the places where the vineyards of this company develop, distinctive and exclusive territories, hilly soils, rich in skeleton and minerals, dry, well exposed and always ventilated, indispensable bases for producing Franciacorta.They have always looked after and preserved plants in their life cycle, with the utmost attention to environmental biodiversity and the biological fertility of the soil in which they grow, understanding and letting the exclusive features of each single vineyard be expressed in Franciacorta is for them the most simple to tell the territory

What is Microsoft DreamWalker?

Rate this Article Layering a Virtual Reality to the now current real reality will always have it's practical use and purposes. However, with the Microsoft DreamWalker project, one can hardly speculate as to where all this is heading to.

Free Virtual Reality Games - What is Microsoft DreamWalker?

When VR was massively popularized several years back, the future potential for it was such a promising thing as VR was indeed a technological wonder to behold. However, after the initial public amazement and the years starting to go by, VR has started to become a technological tool which could be used for a variety of daily and specialized activities. One thing is certain though about the function of VR, it enhances or replaces the current reality as we see it and the value of this depends on how we use it either to upgrade or degrade the way we live our lives.

In introducing new advances about VR, it would be quite normal to expound on the advantages and technological wonders of it, but then, we have to keep in mind on the practical aspect and perceived future use of the technology involved not just from a marketable point of view but from a beneficial one as well. Questions will then arise on whether it will it be able to help people in the long run, or will it be used as a weapon to destroy or damage others. After all, it may just be another viable and awesome mode of entertainment for the coming years.

As mankind continues to progress, people are beginning to see the negative aspects of humanity which has kept the planet's population and society as a whole from moving forward in it's path of evolution. Thus VR as a technology should be a tool for humanity to use and not it's master and thus should be applied and advanced in such a way to fulfill the said function. This now brings us to DreamWalker which is a new endeavor being researched upon by Microsoft.

Project DreamWalker is the brainchild of researchers Jackie Yang, Eyal Ofek, Andy Wilson and Christian Holz. What they intend to achieve is to replace the current real time environment with a VR one while taking into account the physical factors that make up the real reality and integrate it into the projected virtual one. It's kind of like the movie 'Ready Player One' where you can run around the streets wearing your VR headset and not bump into the obstacles all around you. The existing 3rd density world is the same all around but what you see via your headset maybe another location or reality depending on the VR representation being projected to you.

DreamWalker VR

At the current technology we have today, the equipment required may be quite a bit bulky by current standards. You will need a computer strapped to your back along with the power supply for it and the VR headset you will use. You will need a couple of RGBD cameras and a VR recording camera stuck to your headset (inside out tracking) and you will need a good positioning device like a dual band GPS phone to accurately pinpoint where you are. With a handheld controller and this set-up strapped to you, you can then walk the street of your city, a park or some other accessible area where your equipment will work and what you will see with your headset (which you are suppose to wear through the whole process) is totally another thing but the real thing.

DreamWalker Front

As this is still in the research stage, technologically, it looks promising although they will need to shrink down the equipment to probably at least integrated headset size (like the Oculus Quest) to be of any practical use. As for practicality for future use, when it comes to outside environs, AR is still the best technology for use. Maybe inside a gym or a huge empty warehouse with obstacles for simulation or gaming purposes (going back again to the Oculus Quest), VR applications would be awesome. If you look at it, currently though, the beings who could benefit the most from this kind of sensor and positioning feedback to grope their way around the outside world are the AI machines like the droids, the drones and the robots. Not people.

DreamWalker Back

However, knowing Microsoft, they (hopefully) have or will have some good use for this. It would be difficult or impractical to speculate as to where this endeavor will head to at this point as it seems pointless to waste the cost and effort to come up with something like this. An outdoor VR game might probably be in the works or at least planning stage knowing the limitations of current headsets like the Oculus Quest for use in well lighted outdoor environments. But just to think of it, the reason given which is "to assist the user to reach their destination via the Virtual World through visual redirection and normal walking speeds as it detects real obstacles along the way and generate flawlessly corresponding VR obstacles to prevent collision in real time" just does not compute. Even the visually impaired can use a cane or walking stick to safely get across, what more someone with good vision.

Regardless, VR is best used for simulation (real time or otherwise) and an indoor environment is definitely a lot safer than the app having a glitch and the user falling headlong into a pond (the ducks will be mad). But then, it's still best to think positive and who knows, they may just really put all of this to good use.

The names of all the soldiers are contained in the illustrated Harry Clarke manuscripts in the granite book rooms of the War Memorial Gardens in Dublin. (Access by arrangement with the local management.)

Guided tours are available upon request. There are free OPW guided tours every Wednesday at 2.00pm from the 25th of April to the end of October. The meeting point for the tours is inside the car park gates (South Circular Road entrance).

RotaCut RC5000 Inline: Trouble free dewatering
Case Study - hanseWasser Bremen GmbH

Malfunctions of centrifuges in dewatering

Vogelsang-RotaCut® RC 5000 Inline with ACC

The customer and the problem - Malfunctions during dewatering

hanseWasser Bremen GmbH operates 2,300 km public wastewater sewers as well as two WWTP in Farge and Seehausen. Both plants together serve over one million PE each year, 50 million m³ wastewater is treated and 16,000 tons sewage remains. However, WWTP Seehausen is designed for a peak capacity of 1 million PE. On average 130,000 m³ of wastewater is cleaned every day. When charging the two centrifuges for dewatering, malfunctions are often caused by entangled fibers and other fibers in the sludge.

The solution - Efficient dewatering

"We installed two RotaCut Inline macerators with ACC in front of the centrifuges to treat the sludge before feeding to the centrifuges. Thanks to the homogeneous sludge without long fibers, malfunctions are avoided and dewatering runs safer,” said Mr. Weddermann from hanseWasser.

RotaCut reliably chops down all fibers and rags in the sludge. The ACC adjusts the blades automatically keeping an even pressure at all times. Furthermore, the sludge is homogenised in the process, which provides smooth operations of the centrifuges. Malfunctions, operational interruptions and unnecessary maintenance for trouble shooting are avoided with RotaCut and ACC.

Advantages of the Vogelsang RotaCut

  • Reliable maceration of fibers and rags
  • Sludge is homogeneous and flow able
  • Automatic blade adjusment
  • Protects equipment and ensures trouble free and smooth operation of dewatering

ISSUE:  Summer 2005

How much medication human mating requires
in the United States, in the twenty-first century,
gallons of beer and rum, kilos of hash and marijuana,
all to dispel the counsel of parents, and priests, and mirrors,
so every Bev and Bill can function as healthy adult creatures
and touch one cape of their erotic destiny.
And if the act succeeds, it replicates in more
and more fluent instances with ever less potent dosages.
And if it fails, the same drugs may aid in forgetting,
or multi-task as anodyne and aphrodisiac
as ever so gently begins to billow the sails
of the ship of addiction on its ancient voyage to Mars
with the standard license issued by Venus.
Gallons of beer and rum, kilos of hash and marijuana—
Jesus is little help. He circles like a vulture.
Do you have baggage? the bellboy in hell asks,
and it is a suitcase Flannery O’Connor packed:
miscellaneous hair and skin and body parts—
the brain of one lover, the legs of another.
Funny, but very sad too, to love jealously
and know oneself unworthy of love, or not to love
and suffer for having to hurt a friend.
And crazy, isn’t it, crazy love, when lovers drag each
other off like bones, and when they run to fat?
Dumped, they starve themselves beautiful again,
and, eventually, they talk, as all the tortured do,
“What kind of children would we have together?”
And they see them then: their future offspring in tiny
black robes, the justices of their supreme fun.

This question is for testing whether or not you are a human visitor and to prevent automated spam submissions.

Head to a Dorset cottage for museums and unique villages

On the southern coast of England, you'll find the Dorset region. Many villages and towns populate the area, and they each have something special to offer. You can spend time on the sandy beaches along the channel or book holiday cottages in the Cotswolds in one of the inner towns for a quiet and relaxing holiday adventure. There are also over 30 museums in the area that cover general and specialist categories. The Tank Museum at Bovington is particularly interesting as it features tanks and armoured vehicles from many more nations than just the UK.

Best destinations for Dorset holiday cottages

  • Weymouth: At the mouth of the River Wey lies the town of Weymouth. This appropriately named destination is one of the largest settlements in all of Dorset with plenty for the whole family to do. The harbour is popular for fishing, swimming and boating while the town's interior is populated by iconic Georgian architecture. You'll also find extensive shopping opportunities here, especially around the Brewers Quay museum on the harbourside. The breathtaking Isle of Portland is also just a short boat ride from Weymouth, so booking Dorset cottages will grant convenient access to one of the most iconic spots in the area.
  • Christchurch: The town of Christchurch dates back to the 7th century, so travellers who enjoy history will find plenty to enjoy here. All sorts of adventurers can find plenty to do as historical sites like Christchurch Priory, the longest Parish Church in the country, are prevalent alongside nature preserves and sandy beaches. There's even a good chance you can find a local cottage that has some historical value in its own right. The more luxurious options will be outfitted with modern amenities like Wi-Fi and high-end appliances in the kitchen.
  • Swanage: Swanage became a seaside resort area back in the Victorian era, and it largely serves the same function today. You'll find pristine sandy beaches and calm, kid-friendly waves by the shore of the appropriately named Swanage Bay. The town itself is rather small with no big institutions in place, but there are several smaller attractions to enjoy. The Mowlem Theatre, for example, can function as a 400-seat theatre and a bar and restaurant. There are also several fun shops and eateries around town that the whole family can enjoy.

Explore cottages to rent in Dorset by the sea

Dorset is located right by the English Channel, so there's extensive coastline to enjoy. When you book one of the cottages to rent in Dorset by the sea, you can put yourself just steps away from the shore and all the adventure it brings. Whether you're looking for a scenic walk among the Golden Cap or you want to venture out on a boat from Poole Harbour, seaside cottages are relatively easy to find in the area. They come in a variety of shapes and sizes with various amenities, so you can find something suitable for affordable or luxurious tastes alike.

Discover dog-friendly Dorset cottages

Outdoor adventure is plentiful in Dorset with destinations like Brownsea Island for hikers and nature lovers and Bournemouth Beach for travellers seeking fun in the sun by the shore. While outdoor adventure alone can be an exciting experience, bringing your pup along on holiday can make it absolutely unforgettable. There are quite a few dog-friendly Dorset cottages in the area, ranging from budget-friendly to more high-end options, that are available. While most tend to be on the affordable side, you'll find a handful of luxury cottages to facilitate travellers who want to indulge themselves and their furry friends on holiday.

Discover quaint dog-friendly cottages in Dorset

If you're looking for a coastal retreat, Dorset is one of the best options available. It borders the English Channel on its southern edge and offers beaches much more appealing than what you'd typically find throughout the rest of the coast. You can make the most of your holiday experience by finding a dog-friendly cottage. Cottages offer all the comforts of home while having your dog along for the trip can lead to an absolutely unforgettable experience. Walking the beach and even venturing out into the water can be fun, but having your pup with you always makes the experience better.

Find Dorset holiday cottages with a hot tub

When you book one of the Dorset holiday cottages, you'll never be too far from the water. Whether you're looking to see the iconic Durdle Door or the Old Harry Rocks, adventure by the shore is always within your grasp. If you book a cottage with a hot tub, you can enjoy a relaxing experience in the water without ever having to leave your rental. The soothing jets can make you forget your problems and just enjoy the peaceful experience of absolute serenity. Some of the local cottages offer stunning views of the surrounding environments you can enjoy while in the hot tub for that extra atmospheric touch.

Noel preparing for a bath at Kindred Spirits
Noel preparing for a bath at Kindred Spirits

The Kindred Spirits sim has so many opportunities for photographs that Noel soon found herself unable to resist the temptation to enjoy the bath she stumbled across.

OK…so she did resist. Rather than jump into the bath right there, this image is a composite of the bath, Noel (several of her with and without shoes) and the cat whom I will affectionately call Calypso after a recent cat now passed in my RL.  At some point, this cat will be updated to more closely resemble the real Calypso but that’s another story…another image.

New Dark Deception Gameplay Revealed

Indie developer Glowstick Games had something to celebrate this week when it was awarded the community’s Best in Show at the Casual Connect 2014 Indie Prize Showcase for its upcoming virtual reality (VR) compatible videogame, Dark Deception. The developer also brought the videogame itself to the event in San Francisco where it was playable from 2nd- 24th July. In that time, the developer live streamed a brief portion of gameplay from the title, which can now be seen online.

The gameplay, which can be seen below, shows off Dark Deception‘s crystal-collecting gameplay. Viewers should take note that the stream’s quality isn’t great, often reduced to more of a slideshow than gameplay, but it’s still worth a look to get a feel for the title, including its soundtrack and voice over work carried out by Mass Effect‘s Carolyn Seymour, who plays mythical long-lost Hollywood actress Helen Bierce.

Dark Deception is a first-person experience in which players search maze-like levels collecting crystals as they are hunted by terrifying enemies. Opponents will be unique to each level. Glowstick Games recently cancelled a Kickstarter campaign for the title due to lack of funding, but later assured VRFocus that the project was still ‘very much alive’ and will either relaunch a crowd-funding campaign later on or perhaps secure publisher funding.

Should all go to plan then Dark Deception hopes to launch on PC with support for the Oculus Rift VR head-mounted display (HMD) as well as PlayStation 4 with the Project Morpheus HMD. A Wii U version of the title is also planned, as well as potential Xbox One and PlayStation Vita editions, though it isn’t clear if these are still a possibility. VRFocus will continue to follow both Glowstick Games and Dark Deception‘s progress going forward, reporting back with any more developments.

Microsoft: Minecraft on HoloLens ‘takes on a whole new life’

Last year saw Microsoft make headlines as it purchased Minecraft developer Mojang for around $2.5 billion USD. The deal was arguably the highest-profile acquisition of the year, rivalled only by Facebook’s $2 billion purchase of Oculus VR. As it turns out, Microsoft’s deal ended up being relevant to head-mounted display (HMD) fans too as the company revealed a version of the videogame phenomenon running on its newly-revealed HoloLens holographic HMD yesterday. According to the company, this isn’t the same old Minecraft experience, as it takes on a ‘whole new life’ with HoloLens.

The company said as much during a Q&A sessions following the reveal of HoloLens at the Microsoft headquarters in Redmond, Washington this week. It stated that this wasn’t simply the Minecraft found on PC but it instead ‘takes on a whole new life’. In the videos introducing HoloLens two examples of Minecraft holograms can be seen. In one, a player brings up the unmistakeable blocky landscape in the middle of a living room. The other sees explosives create a whole in a wall, revealing the world of Minecraft hiding on the other side.

Microsoft’s statements echo those of Mojang’s Jens Bergensten, who recently revealed that he had seen two different versions of the popular title running with HoloLens. One was said to be a ‘toy’ while the other is ‘closer’ to the real thing. Just if these demos turn into full apps for the consumer version of HoloLens remains to be seen, though Bergensten noted that they were both ‘definitely real’. It would certainly make sense to see the company making use of its newly-acquired IP to push new technology.

VRFocus will continue to follow HoloLens, reporting back with any further updates on the technology.

Rancon Launches New VR Title Spirit Runner

The endless runner genre is one that has been explored by a handful of developers in virtual reality (VR) over the past few years. The most famous example of this is a VR port of mobile hit, Temple Run, onto the Gear VR mobile head-mounted display (HMD) with Temple Run VR. This week sees the launch of a native VR endless runner, however, with Spirit Runner. This new title from UK-based indie developer Rancon is now available to download on both iOS and Android and works with the Google Cardboard DIY HMD.

Bathed in a neon art style, Spirit Runner picks up from where Rancon left off with its previous title, Spirit Fighter. Players will control a character that’s been warped into the world by an unknown force and sprints across rooftops, jumping over gaps and collecting power-ups. The longer players survive the faster the character gets. The project also promotes Vanishing PoYnt, an indie band that’s worked with the developer, featuring its EP I Am Ashes.

“We’re so excited to be working with two of our favourite mediums: music and gaming,” Jan Heuff, MD at Rancon, said of the news. “Even more so to be one of the first South West, if not UK, independent games studios to publish a Virtual Reality game.” He goes on to say “Vanishing PoYnt are a great indie band and have a fantastic approach to promoting their music through games.”

The experience is free to download and play. VRFocus will continue to follow any and all releases for Google Cardboard, reporting back with the latest updates on them.

The Molecule Celebrates 10 Years of VRX, Motion Graphics and VR

The Molecule, a leader in the visual effects industry, celebrated its 10-year anniversary at Amity Hall in New York City last week. In 2015 so far The Molecule has worked on 29 TV series, 10 studio features, 13 indie features, 21 commercials, and 8 virtual reality (VR) projects the company states.

The Molecule began in 2005 with three employees, finding a foothold in the booming New York post-production industry. The company has since expanded to Los Angeles, California and now employ over 50 artists. It’s still focused on New York, and continues pursuing new ventures include developing techniques for VR finishing.

Molecule Partners

“Ten years ago we had a vision of making an influence in the Visual Effects community, and it’s incredible to see that becoming a reality,” said Molecule CEO Chris Healer in a statement.  Andrew Bly, Principal and Executive Producer at The Molecule, said about the industry’s growth, “New York went from having a handful of television shows and a few indie features to now having more projects than we could have ever dreamed of. With all the help from our local government, we’ve had a front row seat to watching the city and state become a desired location for post-production.”

Currently The Molecule hasn’t revealed what VR projects it has worked on, only saying in its blog that it has collaborated on several projects with Supersphere Productions.

VRFocus will be following any new announcements from The Molecule on its VR projects, reporting back any further details.

Part 2: Karting and Winter, and everything you need to know, with Lorenzo Travisanutto

- Some Advice
In the first part of our special on setting up karts in winter, Lorenzo Travisanutto, our expert, unveiled the first guidelines for going fast with low temperatures.

Where to resume our talk? The fact that, if the front was too loaded, with too much downforce, you could run into a problem. Let's see what and then continue with the analysis.
Too much downforce: «An overloaded front end results in an all-too-precise front and also oversteer. To avoid this consequence, you can tighten the rear track; reducing by 0.5 centimeters per side is enough to raise the rear and not force the front too much when cornering. The counterpart in this sense is entering a turn; if the wheel rises too early, the effect is sliding on entry. If it happens, it is good to go back inside the tent or garage and re-enlarge or widen a little."
The devil is in the details: "Other small measures could involve widening the front to give it more potential and, having less distance to travel in the turn, you could even reduce the gear ratio to a minimum. But on this, one must be careful, since it depends a lot on the situation of the track. Considering that the engine in winter has more performance, if the track is very smooth and you can bring a lot of speed in the corners, then the ratio can even be lengthened. If instead you cannot have the above effect, then you have to shorten it.»
Carburation and bearings: «Carburation, this must certainly be increased because the engine heats up and varies a lot with the passing of laps. Finally, it helps balancing the setting of the bearings, you can try to pull or release accordingly to put the front in a position to lift the rear.»

I noticed the John Muir Way on your list of long distance walks and decided to complete the first section with a couple of walking pals from Edinburgh. The section is from Fisherrow, Musselburgh to Cockenzie Harbour. The route is well signposted and has many interesting local information boards.
We chatted to an older local man out walking his dog. He told us he used to work in the nearby Cockenzie Power Station and he gave us some of his local knowledge. We were talking to him standing next to Morrison's Haven, a 16th century harbour, and he explained in detail the history and layout of the harbour. I detected a hint of a "Glesga" accent and he told us he had come through from Airdrie in the 60's to commission the Cockenzie Power station and was still living here, We were soon walking passed this old chaps place of work and sadly it was only the demolition men who are now working in the Power station. Finally we reached Cockenzie Harbour and bought some fresh Haddock in the local fish shop. Lovely jubbly !!

I am glad that you enjoyed walking the John Muir Way. It is a great path, but you only have a week to complete the rest of the route. It has given up its name for the "new" long distance path the Central Scotland Green Network is about to launch. So the John Muir Way now goes from Helensburgh to Dunbar. It is not a very inspiring route, and it just follows sections of various existing names routes such as the West Highland Way and the Strathkelvin Railway Walk.
Ironically the best bit of the original John Muir Way has been left out. This runs from Dunbar south to Cockburnspath and it is by far the nicest section. It is a shame that the original John Muir Way has been sacrificed to provide this new route!

How to Style a Scarf into a Blouse

I have always loved the beauty and versatility of scarves. My mom has a great scarf collection, so many beautiful ones she has collected over the years. I have started my own collection. They're an accessory that takes up little space but can truly transform a look. I love learning new ways to style scarves, especially if it's something a little out of the ordinary. However, as a size 14 woman a lot of the tips on how to style a scarf don't work for my body. I always loved the idea of styling a scarf into a blouse but it rarely worked for me. But scarves are being made bigger these days, offering more versatility for those of us who aren't a size 6.

scarf | blazer | jeans | shoes | earrings | ring | bag

Blouse: actually this scarf c/o Talbots | Jeans: AG (hemmed by Trunk Club to this length) | Blazer: Zara (old; similar, plus size alternative) | Shoes: Rothy's | Bag: Clare V. (old; same bag in different colors, similar bag) | Earrings: Jenny Bird | Ring: REALM

This is the second year that Talbots has commissioned female artists to design scarves for them. Called “The Art of the Scarf” the collection fundraises for Susan G. Komen during the month of October. 20% of the net proceeds from this collection of six 41″ square silk scarves will be donated. You can see all of the scarves at this link. Talbots offered to send me one of the scarves of my choice and I picked this one from Martha Napier, though they are all gorgeous. The print and the colors spoke to me and I loved the larger size.

Once I had the scarf I tried it in place of a belt. I looped it twice around my neck and tied it in a knot. I played with rolling it, making a cowl, a few styles but you couldn't really see the cool print. I have a scarf, it's even larger than this one, I got it at Nordstrom Rack before Emerson was even born and somewhere on this blog there is a post where I am wearing it like a blouse under a magenta velvet blazer (darn pre-Wordpress posts that aren't categorized and hard to find even on Google Images). Anyway, that outfit from a post I can't find inspired me to get creative with this scarf to better show the print.

Shop Large Scarves (at least 41″ square):

I took two ends next to each other, not across from one other and tied them in a knot. I put it over my head and hung it in front of me like a bib with a cowl neck. I adjusted the knot so it draped the way I liked best. The knot for me is very near the end to allow a lot of drape. Depending on the size of the scarf and your waist, you may be able to tie the other two ends around the back of your waist, or you can just tuck it into your trousers. I am wearing a camisole underneath for modesty (both to be able to remove the jacket and if the cowl falls open). It's not technically a blouse, you can't run around town rocking it alone (well you could, but it's not personally something I would do), but it provides the effect of a blouse under a blazer or other topper and it beautifully shows off the print of a scarf.  I loved how a white blazer set off the print. And yes, you can wear a white blazer all year long!

Shop White Blazers:

As for the rest of this look, you have seen all these pieces before. The blazer is half of the suit worn in this blog post and also worn when I attended RebelleCon. The jeans are from AG and picked out for me by my Trunk Club stylist Kelsey when I visited the Trunk Club Clubhouse in DC. They continue to be some of the best fitting jeans I own, somehow they keep molding to my new shape! The shoes are Rothy's; read my original Rothy's Flats review and my Rothy's shoe review where I discuss other styles from the brand. The bag is Clare V. and makes a showing on here at least once a month. The earrings are Jenny Bird and previously seen Friday in my Universal Standard Workwear review.

Shop the Look:

    Wow, how gorgeous! I looked at this scarf last week, but didn’t see the possibilities. Love!

    PS. There’s a small typo in this post — it says 14 inch square. I was wondering how in the world I could get that to work, LOL! It’s actually a 41 inch scarf.

  2. Kris
    October 7, 2019 / 9:43 pm

    You look gorgeous, Alison. I love this scarf – and how you’re wearing it.

    With a large (35″ or bigger) square scarf, you can also make a substitute for a kimono-style wrap. Just put it over your shoulders and knot the corners together to form the “sleeves.” They don’t take up much purse space, so you can keep one in on hand in case you need a wrap in a chilly restaurant.

    • October 22, 2019 / 9:34 am

      Great idea, thank you for sharing this!

  4. October 7, 2019 / 11:08 am

    Love scarfs and need to make a point of wearing them more often. Of course so perfect with a LBD. They are such fun to collect!

    October 7, 2019 / 8:40 am

    Love that scarf! She’s so talented.

    October 7, 2019 / 8:12 am

    Well, you’ve just inspired me to give this a try. My scarf collection is borderline ridiculous (fully ridiculous if you listen to my husband). i wonder how it will look with a moto jacket?

    • Susan
      October 7, 2019 / 12:37 pm

      As fab as Alisons look is, I bet it’ll be even fabber with a moto jacket!
      I looked at that scarf a couple of weeks ago and passed on it cause couldn’t see the beautiful art on it. Kudos to Allison for finding a way to get it to work!

    • October 22, 2019 / 9:35 am

      It would look amazing with a moto jacket!

Mass layoffs and plant closings in the Virgin Islands affect not only workers, but families and communities. In a territory with many different industries and areas that are experiencing changes, the federal and state WARN Acts can provide some protection if you lose your job as part of a mass layoff or shutdown. The WARN Practice Group at Raisner Roupinian LLP will work hard to vigorously represent you.

The law of the Virgin Islands impose obligations similar to those under the federal WARN Act, but instead of 60 days’ notice, employers must provide at least 90 days’ advance notice before carrying out a mass layoff. This requirement can apply to layoffs of as few as 10 employees.

The Federal WARN Act applies to mass layoffs or shutdowns in the following situations:

  • Employers must have 100 or more full-time employees who work more than six of the past 12 months and average over 20 hours a week (note that most government employers are not covered).
  • For a Mass Layoff: 50 or more laid-off employees at a site comprising over a third of the workforce at a site are terminated (500 or more do not need to meet the 1/3 ratio).
  • For a Plant Closing or Shut Down: 50 or more employees are let go from the shut worksite.
  • Workforce reductions within a 30-day window are combined into one Mass Layoff.
  • Workforce reductions within a 90-day period may constitute a Mass Layoff, if the threshold layoff numbers above are not met within a 30 day period.
  • The 90-day rule combines two layoffs that may not meet the threshold individually.

Does the WARN Act apply to me?

If you are confused by the statutes associated with federal and state WARN Acts, you are not alone. Your best strategy is to consult with a seasoned attorney at Raisner Roupinian LLP. We are one of the only employment law firms in the nation, solely focused on WARN Act cases all over the country.

A July 4 session of Z-GoGo, which adopts a Zumba-like workout to go-go, D.C.’s quintessential musical genre. The affordable classes typically draw 100 students. (Go-Go Fitness)

“Werk. Werk. Werk.”

The mantra echoes throughout the Panorama Room at Our Lady of Perpetual Help Church in Southeast Washington. It’s the Fourth of July, and the atmosphere is appropriately festive. Danette “Dani” Tucker is onstage with a group of dancers. And when she says “werk, werk,” (a playful call for the dancers to put some personality behind their steps) she wants to hear you repeat it.

“I will start this over,” she says with a grin.

It feels a bit like a pep rally, but make no mistake: This “werk” is really work. On the floor, arms are in the air, knees reach higher and higher. The unmistakable beat of go-go music reverberates through the room.

This is Z-GoGo. The Z is a nod to Zumba, a dance workout generally choreographed to Latin music. But instead of dancing to the Latin rhythms, students across the region are working out to the music they grew up on. They describe Z-GoGo as a fun, high-energy way to shed extra pounds.

“I love go-go music, so this was something that was really special for me,” says Titania Benton-Ellis, a Z-GoGo devotee who grew up in Alexandria.

Z-GoGo was founded by Tucker, Erica Berry and Tricia Barnes, all native Washingtonians. Tucker had been teaching traditional Zumba classes and decided to test out a new routine — one choreographed exclusively to go-go — for eight students in a small Anacostia dance studio. Her students were hooked.

That was in February of last year. Today, classes are taught in locations across the Washington area. D.C. expats have even started classes in Washington state. And there are Z-GoGo offshoots — a low-impact class for workout novices and a “Z-Gospel” workout set to gospel tunes.

Class sizes vary, but instructors say a typical class, like the one held on a recent Monday night at Iverson Mall in Hillcrest Heights, can draw more than 100 people. A lead instructor and a fitness team — several Z-GoGo enthusiasts trained to hype up attendees — demonstrate the moves. The format mirrors the call-and-response vocals found in go-go music.

Kelli Anderson, a 33-year-old mother of twins from Southeast, is a friendly face at Iverson and other Z-GoGo classes, where she’s known to yell out encouraging phrases to attendees. (“There’s nothing wrong with making it sexy,” she says with a laugh while demonstrating an ab-clinching body roll.) She’s been doing Z-GoGo for about nine months and says she’s lost more than 20 pounds.

Vivian Boykins is the main instructor at Iverson, where classes are held three times a week. She had been doing Zumba when a friend suggested they go to a new class choreographed to go-go.

That’s how a lot of attendees hear about the class. “This is all word-of-mouth,” Tucker says. Z-GoGo promotes its programs on its Web site and Facebook, but she says the organizers have never paid for advertising because they want to keep the price of each class low at $5. Students can also buy a $20 pass for five classes.

The majority of students are working and middle class, Tucker says, and the group finds other ways to keep costs down, offering free classes to children 15 and younger so they can work out alongside their moms.

“We want mothers to work out with their kids, and we want them to develop those healthy habits with their kids,” Tucker says.

Like many Z-GoGo instructors, Boykins took the class for several months and decided to pursue certification as a Zumba instructor. Tucker said Z-GoGo instructors are licensed to teach Zumba. But the classes aren’t technically considered Zumba because those require a certain ratio of Latin music. Tucker and Berry own Go-Go Fitness and are in the process of trademarking their fitness program.

At holiday classes, like the one held on July 4, Z-GoGo classes converge and participate in a dance battle for prizes. Some sported black tanks with Z-GoGo written out in rhinestones. Others wore jerseys or decorated T-shirts to represent their class locations.

Tamara Rutland started attending Z-GoGo classes recently with a group of her sorority sisters, who wore purple and black ensembles to the holiday class. “We liked the energy,” says Rutland, adding, “It’s nice to have a group of mostly women encouraging one another, supporting one another.”

Z-GoGo has its fair share of male students. Rutland’s instructor is NeuNeu Cade, whose chiseled abs and energy are a testament to the program’s fitness potential. He grabbed attention at his first class in February. “Everyone was talking about the guy in the back,” said Cade, who had experience teaching Zumba.

Kip Coleman, a D.C. police officer, would have been working out alongside attendees at the July 4 class, but he was facing a 12-hour shift. Coleman admits he was initially hesitant about taking the class. But Z-GoGo has helped him stick to a cardio regimen, one he recommends to the recruits he teaches at the D.C. police academy. “I’m committed to it,” he said.

Coleman was in uniform as students from the class held at Forestville’s Flair Health & Fitness club staged a crime-scene-themed performance, complete with police tape that garnered laughs from the crowd. Working in the community is an important aspect of Z-GoGo, particularly since go-go has a “bad rap,” as Tucker puts it, the result of violence seen at some go-go performances.

It’s no coincidence that bandleader Chuck Brown, who died last year, has a resounding presence in all things Z-GoGo. The company sells two workout DVDs featuring Brown’s music, the second of which is dedicated to the “Godfather of Go-Go.” Tucker says the group aims to channel his positive vision of go-go music.

The group from Flair took top honors in the July 4 dance battle, followed by Iverson in second place. Their instructor, Boykins, wasn’t there to see their win. She was at a family reunion in Mississippi where, she said, she planned to teach a Z-GoGo routine.

Z-GoGo offers classes most weekdays and Saturdays. Check gogofitnessllc.com to find a class near you.

The Independent Payment Advisory Board was created by the 2010 health care law. Last month, in releasing his deficit-reduction plan, President Obama called for increasing the panel’s authority, saying it was critical to controlling the costs of the program, estimated at $524 billion in fiscal 2010. Republicans and some Democrats have denounced the IPAB, saying it will be made up of unelected bureaucrats who will wind up rationing care to Medicare beneficiaries. As the spotlight turns back to the deficit, debates about IPAB are moving front and center. Here’s a look at the issues:

Q: What will IPAB do?

A: Beginning with fiscal 2015, if Medicare is projected to grow too quickly, the IPAB will make binding recommendations to reduce spending. Those recommendations will be sent to Capitol Hill at the beginning of each year, and if Congress doesn’t like them, it must pass alternative cuts — of the same size — by August. A supermajority of the Senate can also vote to amend the IPAB recommendations. If Congress fails to act, the secretary of Health and Human Services is required to implement the cuts by default.

Who will serve on the panel?

It will have 15 full-time members, and only a minority of them can be health care providers. The president is required to get suggestions from leaders of both parties in Congress in nominating 12 of the 15 appointees. For the other three, he doesn’t have to consult Congress. The members have to be confirmed by the Senate. Obama hasn’t nominated anyone yet, but said last month that he hopes to fill the slots with “doctors, nurses, medical experts and consumers.” Board members, who will serve six-year terms, are to be paid the salary of senior executives in the federal government — $165,300 this year — and cannot hold any other jobs.

Why is IPAB controversial?

Hospitals, doctors, drug companies and some patients’ groups are worried IPAB will recommend reductions in Medicare payments — which they say already are too low — and that they won’t have the time or ability to counter the cuts during accelerated congressional action. Doctors and drug companies are particularly worried that they’ll bear a lot of the burden because hospitals and nursing homes aren’t subject to IPAB’s cost-cutting recommendations until fiscal 2020.

Lawmakers — mostly Republicans but some Democrats as well — say that the IPAB will have too much power and are pressing for repeal of the provision.

Some critics, including House Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan (R-Wis.), charge that the IPAB will ration needed care for seniors.

Defenders counter that the law bars it from rationing care, restricting benefits or changing eligibility criteria. And, in response to complaints from the health care industry, Sen. John D. Rockefeller IV (D-W.Va.), who was one of IPAB’s architects, said that the board was specifically designed to reduce the influence of “special interests” on the Medicare payment policy. Those interests, he and others say, have kept Congress from making the tough decisions needed to hold down spending and reduce the deficit.

How exactly will IPAB slow Medicare spending?

Under the health care law, the board is required to recommend reductions in Medicare if spending per capita is projected to exceed specific targets. From fiscal year 2015 through 2019, that target is based on inflation gauges. Beginning in 2020, the target is based on the growth of the gross domestic product plus one percentage point. Proponents note that the IPAB won’t impose a “hard cap” on spending, but rather will recommend ways to reduce spending. “IPAB is meant to be a fallback if the health law doesn’t control spending as well as we think it will,” said Robert Kocher, head of McKinsey & Co.’s Center for U.S. Health System Reform and a former special assistant to Obama on health care.

What if Medicare’s projected spending doesn’t exceed the targets?

In that case, the board isn’t required to make the recommendations.

And in fact, the Congressional Budget Office in March said that is likely to be the situation for almost a decade. The CBO is expecting Medicare spending to remain below the threshold that requires action.

But expectations could prove to be wrong.

For one thing, the CBO could change its outlook. Also, Obama wants to tighten IPAB’s target in later years to GDP plus 0.5 percentage point. He has also talked about giving IPAB some additional clout to enforce its recommendations, but didn’t provide details.

Even if IPAB doesn’t issue binding recommendations in any particular year because of slow Medicare growth, it must produce annual reports on national health care costs, access, use and quality, which will be more comprehensive than government reports now available. It also may issue nonbinding recommendations on a range of health care issues. And beginning in 2015, it must offer biannual guidance on ways to slow the nation’s total health care spending, including non-federal spending.

Ebel Offers Help to Japan for the Holidays

An Ebel watch
Ebel spent 2011 thinking about more than its anniversary

In 2011, Swiss luxury watch brand Ebel had a lot to celebrate. The brand celebrated a momentous event in their history, their centennial. Ebel released a number of fantastic new watches into its already strong collection, delighting fans and proving that the company’s longevity was no coincidence. As the year drew to a close, the company decided that their final message for the year should not be about their own affairs, but rather one of hope and caring for others.

In a simple Youtube video, the company announced that “in the Spirit of the Season, Ebel has chosen to share its wishes and support with a people touched by deep tragedy in 2011. Ebel is sending the nation of Japan a holiday gift to help fund the work of reconstruction. To you, our cherished friends, colleagues and customers, we offer our very best wishes for a peaceful 2012.” After such a momentous year for Ebel, fans were surely taken aback– in a positive way– when they saw these words on the screen as the brand’s final words of 2011.

This video is still the most recent Facebook update Ebel has made, and the video is captioned there equally thoughtfully: “the EBEL team wishes you a Happy holiday Season! At this joyous time of the year, we look to share not only special gifts but also a generosity of heart and consideration for those in need.”

On March 11, 2011, a 9.0 magnitude underground megathrust earthquake occurred off the coast of Japan and triggered a devastating tsunami that would decimate much of T?hoku and several other eastern regions of the island. The disaster resulted in more than 15,000 deaths, nearly 6,000 injuries and extensive structural damage. Roads and houses were completely destroyed in many areas, and the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant, heavily damaged, released a large amount of radioactive chemicals into the surrounding area. In December 2011, the plant was declared stable, but it will be years before the surrounding area will recover.

The World Bank estimated the economic cost of the tsunami at approximately $235 billion U.S. dollars. This estimation places the disaster as the world’s most expensive to ever occur.

Ebel has not released information regarding the exact nature or value of their gift to Japan.
