You have checked all the windows to make sure they are closed and locked, doubled-checked the doors, let the neighbors know you are going out of town, informed the mail so it does not pile up and activated all the passive security systems in your home. However, one area is often overlooked as you pull out of your garage and leave: The garage you just left.</h2>
<div style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; background-color: white; border-top: 0px solid rgb(220, 149, 34); box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: arial, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding-top: 0px;">
A modern-day garage is a prime spot for thieves to gain access to your home. <img alt="" src="https://77fe644c572ff1ba8a08-aa3fcb8dba820dc6b4fabb3e45b3ad4d.ssl.cf1.rackcdn.com/images/media/23259/article_380/IMG_0068.jpg?1478123238" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; background: transparent; border-radius: 0px; border: 0px; box-shadow: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2) 0px 0px 0px; box-sizing: border-box; float: right; height: 236px; margin: 7px; padding: 8px; vertical-align: middle; width: 380px;" /></div>
<div style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: arial, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
There are three basic types of garages that your home may have and each one requires its own safety measures. The first two are attached garages, and they can be divided into two categories: The front of the house garage that faces the street and the rear garage, which is out of view from the street.</div>
<div style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: arial, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
The third type of garage is the detached garage. It is particularly dangerous if this type of garage is not secured properly because it offers a staging ground for thieves to enter the premises.</div>
<div style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: arial, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
Here are a few pieces of advice that will help you protect your home:</div>
<div style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: arial, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
<strong style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; box-sizing: border-box;">Use Your Garage.</strong> Park your car in the garage when it is not being used or if you are leaving by other means. Many people leave their garage door remote in their car, and all it takes is something like a broken window in your car to give a thief access to your home. To combat this, you can also make sure to remove the remote if you leave your car outside of the garage.</div>
<div style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: arial, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
<strong style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; box-sizing: border-box;">Disable the Electric Motor.</strong> If you are leaving for an extended period of time, detach your electric garage door opener. This is usually a very simple thing to do. Most electric garage door openers have a rope or chain you pull down to disconnect the electric motor from the chain that operates the door. This protects you in two ways: First, if a thief used a frequency scanning device to obtain your code, it will be of no use since it is not operable. Second, it would require a thief to physically go to the door, which the neighbors could see.</div>
<div style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: arial, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
<strong style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; box-sizing: border-box;">Bolt It.</strong> Use a manual sliding bolt-style lock on the inside of your garage door that can only be opened from the inside.</div>
<div style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: arial, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
<strong style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; box-sizing: border-box;">Keep It In Good Condition.</strong> Make sure the garage door is properly functioning and that there is no damage to the panels through which a thief could access your home.</div>
<div style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: arial, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
<strong style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; box-sizing: border-box;">Keep It Contained.</strong> Do not leave important items in the garage and make sure to lock the door to your home. If thieves do break into the garage, you want to make sure that is all they can access. Place a deadbolt and anti-kick device on the door that leads to the garage.</div>
<div style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: arial, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
<strong style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; box-sizing: border-box;">The Same Goes for Detached Garages.</strong> For the detached garage, make sure you follow the same principles as if it was connected to your home. If the garage is out of view from the street where neighbors could spot a break-in, these rules become even more essential. Most importantly, do not keep valuables in your garage</div>

3 Trends in Kitchen Hardware to Keep an Eye On</h2>
<div style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: arial, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: arial, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
You don’t have to transform your entire kitchen to feel like your kitchen has been upgraded. All you have to do is update some of your kitchen hardware, like the knobs on your cabinets or the handles on your drawers. You’ll get that new kitchen feel for a fraction of the cost. However, choose your new hardware wisely. Here are 3 trends in kitchen hardware to keep an eye on.<img alt="" src="https://77fe644c572ff1ba8a08-aa3fcb8dba820dc6b4fabb3e45b3ad4d.ssl.cf1.rackcdn.com/images/media/23835/article_380/kitchen_light.jpg?1478706650" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; float: right; height: 254px; margin: 7px; vertical-align: middle; width: 380px;" /></div>
<div style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: arial, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
<strong style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; box-sizing: border-box;">1. Artsy knobs</strong></div>
<div style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: arial, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
The great thing about the term “artsy” is that it’s totally up to your interpretation and discretion. You can take your pick of colorful knobs, varying sized knobs and knobs of many different styles. Got a theme for your kitchen? Go all out by getting knobs that matches your vision. </div>
<div style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: arial, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
Whatever your method of madness, personalize your kitchen in the subtlest and classiest of ways so you can impress guests. You can peruse the knob section at Home Depot or Lowes for ideas, or you can check out what’s new in the DIY section of the internet.</div>
<div style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: arial, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
<strong style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; box-sizing: border-box;">2. Bar handles</strong></div>
<div style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: arial, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
You can make your kitchen seem more modern and sleek without replacing a single panel or backsplash tile. Just incorporate long, straight lines in your kitchen with bar handles.<br style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; box-sizing: border-box;" />These handles are most commonly seen in restaurant kitchens: They’re long and slim metal bars that run the length of drawers. They’re not only great for design but also for utility. You can be completely engrossed in a recipe, reach over to grab a drawer handle and grasp it every time, without fail.</div>
<div style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: arial, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
Now, if you have a theme for your kitchen, these handles are maybe not the best way to go. If you’re going for minimalist and even futuristic vibe, these handles are for you.</div>
<div style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: arial, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
<strong style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; box-sizing: border-box;">3. Finger handles</strong></div>
<div style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: arial, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
Although they may look like it, finger handles aren’t actually tiny shelves for mice (knock on wood that there aren’t really mice in your kitchen). These flat, stainless steel handles work great for the lower, base cabinets in your kitchen. Just slip a finger or two under the small lip of the handle to open your cabinets.</div>
<div style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: arial, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
They look great and they’re completely functional. No more bending down to open a cabinet just to discover the pot you were looking for wasn’t even in there.</div>
<div style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: arial, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
Pro tip: Updating the hardware in your kitchen is a great way to spruce up your kitchen before showing your house to prospective buyers. When you’re ready to sell your home, give us a shout. We’re here to help.</div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">In a quiet corner of West Palm Beach's Presidential Estates, where luxury homes abound, some on the waterfront, you will find WHITEHALL CONDOS. There are sparkling white buildings with catwalk designs that bring N'Awlins to mind. Beautiful gardens, flowering bushes, and palm trees are meticulously cared for. It is quiet, peaceful, and there are a beautiful Olympic-size pool and a small clubhouse on the grounds. Meandering paths have pretty views and an occasional bench to sit on and rake in the colorful pastoral views.</span><span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">All units have 1385 living sq ft. They are spacious with a huge walk-in master closet, two bedrooms, two full baths, laundry room with storage space and a bonus room for storage or other usages. There is a wall of windows at the end of the living room. Some overlook water views, some overlook the golf course. Others overlook gardens. Kitchens have all the "usual" appliances and a small area for a snack. Some kitchens are updated, some are not. There is a pass-thru window from the kitchen to the dining area.</span><span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">Some of the Whitehall condo owners have two, three or four units that are rented out. Priced at market value, they sell and rent quickly. The units can cost from $114,000 to $140,000, and with many upgrades can cost more.</span><span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: 7.5pt; vertical-align: top;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">A positive development is brewing in Palm Beach that will have appropriate eyes on re-development issues. A decade ago the Testa family, restauranteurs, sought to change zoning restrictions, especially the town’s on-site parking requirements which the Testas said discouraged others from investing in the deteriorating buildings, including the restaurant they owned. The town has approved redevelopment by purchasers of the Testa property into a new restaurant, shops and luxury homes with underground parking. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: 7.5pt; vertical-align: top;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Adjacent properties have been purchased from a Saudi prince that encompass about 30,000 sq ft of rentable restaurant, retail and office space and a 1400 sq ft apartment, all within about an eighth of an acre. Included are Classic Collections (landmarked), Evelyn & Arthur (landmarked), Nick & Johnnies (façade is landmarked), and The Palm Beach Bookstore. The properties were sold to generate funds the seller plans to reinvest in other capital projects, almost all of it planned to stay in the U.S. According to news reports, the new owners have talked to other owners of adjacent properties, who don’t want to sell… YET!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: 7.5pt; vertical-align: top;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">This area is just north of “downtown Palm Beach” and The Breakers Hotel on a street with a pretty median, open views and royal palm trees, and some parking. The new owners of the properties are focused on re-energizing the street, improving its walkability, adding the needed underground parking, and stopping the inevitable deterioration and blight. Along with preserving the “small town appearance and character,” and adding upgraded or new businesses, the expected result will be new jobs, new residences and new patrons will come to the area.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: 7.5pt; vertical-align: top;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">The community has members who want to protect the street’s small-town character from over-development. The proposed new underground parking area will counter complaints about anticipated congestion and bring new people to the area. As this development comes about, we will watch it grow and be proud. The Preservation Foundation (your editor is a member) recently played a large part in restoration in the Royal Poinciana Plaza area, caddy-corner and a bit down the block from the Testa property. It would not be surprising to find the Foundation involved in this project.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: 7.5pt; vertical-align: top;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">The anticipated soon-to-be owners have engaged an architect who is a member of the Landmarks Preservation Commission “to work with us on the landmarked buildings… to properly restore and protect the site’s historically significant buildings.” This should counter objections about the appearance of the street when the area is redeveloped. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: 7.5pt; vertical-align: top;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Most (perhaps all) of the buildings they purchased are wood frame, dating to the early 1900’s, and are suffering decay from roof leaks and water damage, mold accumulations and wood rot, termite infestation and structural failures. Electrical, plumbing, heating and air conditioning systems require complete upgrades or replacements. Estimates for costs may be equal to or exceed the $10.35mm cost of the properties.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: 7.5pt; vertical-align: top;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">In the US of A, you can’t stop progress, thank heavens. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

READ ON: Why corporate America needs to be more paranoid<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 24pt; margin: 0in 0in 24pt; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="color: #232629; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: medium;">In June 1983, I was at a crossroads. I was twenty-four years old and had spent a year working for Pizza Hut. And while I had a good time traveling the country and stuffing myself, the job was starting to get old. That summer I made a pros and cons list. I wrote down various career options — going to an established company, a startup, or a consulting firm — and ticked through the benefits and drawbacks of each possible move. </span><br /><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="color: #232629; line-height: 24pt; text-align: center;"><br /></span><span style="color: #232629; font-size: medium; line-height: 24pt; text-align: center;">First on my list were established tech companies such as Apple and Atari. Marketing positions at these companies would have provided the tech on-ramp I was seeking, but with big companies come internal politics and red tape. There were some pros to those jobs but also a whole lot of cons.</span></span></div>

<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 24pt; margin: 0in; text-align: center; vertical-align: baseline;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 24pt; margin: 0in; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="color: #232629; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: medium;">When considering the possibility of joining a marketing consulting firm in San Francisco, I noted that while it would be fun to work in Silicon Valley, I had three concerns: “stuffy, tough sell, don’t like consulting.” So that was a pass, too. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 24pt; margin: 0in 0in 24pt; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="color: #232629; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: medium;">Finally, there was CVC, the startup I ended up choosing. I saw a lot upside to going there: an exciting idea, promising technology, a chance to make a big impact in a growing market — and, best of all, the opportunity to work alongside and learn from entrepreneur Bill von Meister. I listed only one downside: “future uncertain.” <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 24pt; margin: 0in 0in 24pt; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="color: #232629; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: medium;">Everything about the CVC job was up in the air, from my future role in the company to the future of the company itself. Of course, you know how the story ends (the company became AOL), but at the time this was a big concern. In a way, though, that uncertainty was as much a pro as it was a con. Sure, an uncertain future meant I could be out on the streets looking for a job in a few months’ time. But it also meant a chance to make my own destiny. A chance, as it turned out, to play a role in making the Internet a part of everyday life.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 24pt; margin: 0in 0in 24pt; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="color: #232629; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: medium;">I’m often reminded of the famous newspaper ad Ernest Shackleton is said to have placed before his 1914 attempt to explore Antarctica: “Men wanted for hazardous journey. Small wages. Bitter cold. Long months of complete darkness. Constant danger. Safe return doubtful. Honor and recognition in case of success.” That’s the beauty of entrepreneurship, and that’s what drew me to CVC. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #232629; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: medium;">The bottom line is that when I was twenty-four, I had no idea where my own “hazardous journey” would lead me. I didn’t know whether my stock options would even be worth the paper they were printed on. All I knew was that in the uncertainty lay immense challenges — and enormous opportunities. There was a boundless electronic frontier to explore, an online Antarctica filled with peril and possibility. And I knew that I needed to be a part of charting that uncertain future. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 24pt; margin: 0in 0in 24pt; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="color: #232629; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: medium;">When I think about what the world will look like thirty years from now and try to anticipate what problems we need to solve — to say nothing of the problems we face now — I see another uncertain future. But I also believe that, as in my case, this uncertainty isn’t a disadvantage. Once again, we’ve got a pro masquerading as a con. Once again, we have the opportunity — and, I believe, the obligation — to set a new course. Now we just have to think about what all of us — entrepreneurs, business leaders, government officials, everyday Americans with good ideas — can and must do to make sure we arrive there. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 24pt; margin: 0in; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: medium;"><b><span style="border: 1pt none; color: #232629; padding: 0in;">Ride the wave</span></b><span style="color: #232629; font-family: inherit, serif; font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 24pt; margin: 0in 0in 24pt; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="color: #232629; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: medium;">The Third Wave of the Internet is coming, the moment when the Internet transforms from something we interact with to something that interacts with everything around us. It will mean the rise of the Internet of Everything, where everything we do will be enabled by an Internet connection, much in the way it’s already enabled by electricity. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 24pt; margin: 0in 0in 24pt; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="color: #232629; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: medium;">This process will lead to the transformation of some of the industries that are vital to our daily lives, which will make the barriers to success higher, and the need to form partnerships much more central, as a way of building credibility, opening doors, and getting past industry gatekeepers. One such partner will likely be the government, which has an interest in regulating the industries most affected by the Third Wave.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 24pt; margin: 0in 0in 24pt; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="color: #232629; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: medium;">Don’t confuse your views of government with the role of government, which can be either an impediment to progress or a driver of it, and which cannot be ignored. Much Third Wave innovation will come from impact entrepreneuring focused on building “profit plus purpose” companies that have a measurable impact on the world. And this innovation will be geographically dispersed, as the rest of the country (and the world) rises up to complement the innovation now occurring largely in a few places, such as Silicon Valley. The challenges in the Third Wave will be vexing, and as Thomas Edison reminds us, “Vision without execution is hallucination.” But if we rally together, and execute with precision, we can remain the world’s most innovative and entrepreneurial nation.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 24pt; margin: 0in; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="color: #232629; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: medium;">So that’s my thesis, in a nutshell. Think of it as the CliffsNotes — or <i><span style="border: 1pt none; padding: 0in;">BuzzFeed</span></i> — guide to the Third Wave. One more parting thought before I go. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 24pt; margin: 0in; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="color: #232629; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 24pt; margin: 0in; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: medium;"><b><span style="border: 1pt none; color: #232629; padding: 0in;">A message to corporate America</span></b><span style="color: #232629; font-family: inherit, serif; font-size: 13.5pt;"> <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 24pt; margin: 0in; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="color: #232629; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: medium;">To corporate leaders, it’s time to develop a perpetual sense of paranoia and curiosity. It’s time to both fear the future and seize its promise, to restlessly drive to master it, no matter what it holds. Regardless of where you and your company stand at the end of today, you can always wake up tomorrow to find that things have changed drastically. You jeopardize your position if you don’t strive to anticipate <i><span style="border: 1pt none; padding: 0in;">how </span></i>it will change. <o:p></o:p></span><br /><span style="color: #232629; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 24pt; margin: 0in 0in 24pt; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="color: #232629; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: medium;">Keep your finger on the pulse of technology, and consider what its beat might mean for your business. Take stock of trends. Resist the temptation to dismiss up-and-coming technologies. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 24pt; margin: 0in 0in 24pt; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="color: #232629; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: medium;">Empower your team to ask questions and, where no answers exist, to create new ones. Give them the space to innovate and experiment. Take more “shots on goal.” Allow more crazy ideas to bubble up, because the very best ideas often sound ridiculous when first proposed. Surely, executives at Marriott and Hilton would have thought that the idea of renting an air mattress or a room in an apartment was insane. But in 2015, seven years after starting, Airbnb was valued at $25 billion, making it worth more than either of the hospitality powerhouses, both of which have been around for more than half a century. And it’s not just about relative valuations: it’s also about sudden shifts in market dynamics. As Senator Marco Rubio has pointed out, Airbnb is now the largest hospitality provider, yet they don’t own a single hotel. Similarly, Uber is the largest transportation company, though they don’t own a single vehicle. And neither company existed a decade ago. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 24pt; margin: 0in 0in 24pt; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="color: #232629; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: medium;">Remember that disruption has broadened. Your competitors won’t just emerge from the low end of your industry. Increasingly, they’ll come from other industries, too. Apple wasn’t in the music business, nor was Google in the mobile phone business — until suddenly they were. So build a network in and around your company — and look for the opportunity in every direction.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 24pt; margin: 0in 0in 24pt; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="color: #232629; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: medium;">The future belongs to those who endeavor to create it. That’s why we go into business — because we have a vision for the future that we want to see through. So don’t let temporary successes permanently blind your future ambitions.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 24pt; margin: 0in 0in 24pt; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="color: #232629; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: medium;">You have the resources — human, capital, otherwise — to take on ambitious projects. And so you must decide — is it better to use those recourse to resist change or to drive it? <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 24pt; margin: 0in 0in 24pt; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="color: #232629; font-family: inherit, serif; font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">And remember this: In the Third Wave, partnerships will become more important. You’ll have more opportunities in the next decade than you did in the past decade. So don’t just play defense, play offense. Don’t just defend, attack. But don’t go it alone. As Helen Keller said, “Alone we can do so little. Together we can do so much.” </span><span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">A Circuit Court Judge ruled that Palm Beach County's development orders did NOT violate comprehensive plan policies on future land use and transportation in rural areas because those rules don't govern agricultural enclaves such as Westlake. Recently the District Court of Appeals rejected arguments that the project would illegally create urban sprawl.</span></div>
<div>

<li><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">500,000 sq ft of retail space</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">1.5 mm sq ft of employment-center space ( traditional office space, light/clan manufacturing, medical office space)</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">200,000 sq ft of civid space (with fire station, sheriffs station and school)</span></li>

</ul>
<div>

The landscape architect said the hedge would only be broken in two places to accommodate the 12’ driveway. Some Commissioners felt that would block views of the architecture and the landscape architect said it would mimic similar neighborhood landscaping. He was asked to revise the hedge design so passersby could see the architecture. Only one Commissioner objected to the architecture, the rest were in favor of the design.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">In response to Rabbi Mortimer J. Cohen’s letter describing
his vision for a simple, modern synagogue that could hold up to 1500 people,
Frank Lloyd Write responded, “Dear Rabbi Cohen, I would like to talk to you
concerning your project.” Thus began a
six year collaboration between the Rabbi and the world famous Architect that
led to the beautiful sanctuary above in Elkins Park, Pennsylvania.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

there would be no windows but the glass roof and rotunda would let in
light. Walls would have acoustic
treatment. Included would be classrooms,
meeting rooms and storage rooms, all to be air-conditioned. Sketches of his ideas were included. Wright’s goal was to have congregants walk in
and feel “as if they were resting in the hands of God.” The gentle slope of the
horseshoe formation achieved the goal of seeing others around you no matter
where you were seated rather than the backs of heads and profiles. On bright
sunny days when a cloud passes overhead, the room darkens, at sunset the room
turns gold, and when the sky is blue, you see blue.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

designed. Many of his textures, colors
and geometric motifs such as triangles and hexagons are repeated thruout the
structure, creating a powerful design unity.
Modern materials were used including concrete, steel and glass, finished
with gold tones of bronze and desert sand, using Wrights signature red, and
matte silver aluminum.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

after Wright’s death. Shortly thereafter
both the American Institute of Architects and the National Trust for Historic
Preservation singled out Beth Sholom Synagogue as one of the seventeen Wright
buildings most worthy of preservation. Later an elevator was added, restrooms
were upgraded and sidewalks were widened.
Visitors can watch a 20-minute documentary narrated by Leonard Nimoy and
study exhibits. Tours are suspended when
events are held such as weddings, bar mitzvahs and funerals. No tours are given on Saturdays or Jewish
holidays. School continues thruout the
year. The vegetable garden grows food
for the food pantry.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Cats are carefully chosen according to the environment with few or lots of people around the business. A large crate is provided for night time for the cats.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

The area is a free parking lot, Gate 6A, now bulldozed, that was once a fully lived in neighborhood, where kids happily played in the streets. The house in question at 1112 Stanley Road is in the middle of Gate 6-A.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

In Golf Digest’s 2009 list of 100 greatest courses, Augusta National ranked #1. In Golfweek Magazine’s 2011 list of best classic courses for course architecture in the US, it was ranked #10. The first female members were admitted in 2012, Condoleezza Rice and Darla Moore. In 1990, African Americans were admitted to this exclusive membership. There are 10 cabins on the property, one built exclusively for member President Dwight D. Eisenhower after his election, according to secret service specifications. Famous golfers Ben Hogan and Sam Snead were also members. Others include Warren Buffet, Bill Gates, Roger Goodell, Sam Nunn, T. Boone Pickens, Jr, Jack Welsh and many other CEOs of top companies. Membership numbers about 300 and is by invitation only. Members and tournament winners receive a distinctive green sports coat.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

They raised their family in this 1900 sq ft 3-bedroom house, with everyone coming back for the holidays, which Zillow values at $355,126. Initial sellers got about $250,000 for their homes. Built in 1959, on the cusp of being a historic home, it remains the “piece de resistance”. Their grandson has become a professional, Scott Brown, age 32. He is a PGA Tour member, not yet making the Masters. Their brother sold his home, on two acres, and two other homes he owned, for a cool $3.6MM. The residents owned another property across the street that they sold to the club for $1.2MM. A nearby holdout wound up settling for $960,000, for a very similar house.</span></div>

in a particular region such as Palm Beach County has bounced back strong since
the downturn that began in 2008, home prices will be higher because more people
will be coming to that area for employment or to retire and relax. Most of Palm
Beach County prices have outreached expectations, sometimes higher than the
peak in 2007 and 2008. It may be that prices are or will be staying
more steady in the near future, but they are HIGH now.</span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

important than ever to work with an experienced, licensed Realtor who
understands your local market trends and issues. You will need to price your
home at the going market rate that reflects not only the value of your home but
the neighborhood where it is located. Price too high, and there will be little
interest in your property; too low, and potential buyers may wonder what hidden
issues your property may have. As a Realtor in Palm Beach County
since 2000, I have been asked that question many times… “Why is the price so
low? What is wrong?”</span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

rates have a significant effect on the dollar figure that you use to price your
home. As percentage rates go up, you have to subtract the top dollar
amount you had planned to spend to compensate and stick to your budget. While
mortgage rates have been historically low in order to make homes more
affordable, this is a trend that may not continue in the near future so it may
be prudent to buy while interest rates are low.</span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

summer months especially June, July and August, are one of the hottest times
for buyers who are planning where to be the following winter, or where to
reside when school begins in the late summer and a great opportunity for you to

basketball. Now, he also imagines becoming an artist. What makes this shift so
surprising is that until last year, the dark-haired, serious fifth grader had
never done art. At home he had never finger-painted, colored in a coloring
book, or drawn chalk pictures on the sidewalk. His school had offered no arts
and crafts either – no Play-Doh, painting at an easel, or making collages with
dried macaroni and glitter.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

I want to come to school,” says Sinai, a sixth grader at Taft Community School
in Redwood City, California.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: 15.6pt;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "opensans","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; letter-spacing: .25pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">When Robyn Miller became principal three years ago, Taft
had no art classes. Despite its proximity
to the gated grand estates of Silicon Valley, nearly three-quarters of Taft’s
500 students are eligible for free and reduced price lunch. Like thousands of
schools serving predominantly low-income, African American and Hispanic
children, Taft eliminated the arts to balance shrinking budgets years ago.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

picture hanging on a classroom bulletin board, then losing it could be written
off as just another regrettable fiscal reality. But <a href="http://www.learningandthebrain.com/Event-329/The-Science-of-Imagination/Program"><span style="color: #f45c20;">recent studies</span></a> show that arts education
builds a critical cognitive bridge between acquiring knowledge in school and
putting it to use in the real world.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: 15.6pt;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "opensans","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; letter-spacing: .25pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">“Art isn’t memorization, it’s a way of thinking, and
creativity is often a significant component,” explains James Catterall, a
retired UCLA education professor and founding director of the <a href="http://www.croc-lab.org/"><span style="color: #f45c20;">Centers for Research
on Creativity</span></a>. “It encourages asking questions, it encourages taking
some risks, and it encourages collaborative work.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: 15.6pt;">

research suggests it’s especially critical for low-income children whose
parents can’t afford to take them to museums with hands-on art activities or
pay for after-school art classes at the community center. These children are
often deprived when it comes to artistic activities that teach them a different
way of thinking than what they are exposed to in their academic classes.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

didn’t have the money to hire a credentialed art teacher. She found an
affordable alternative in <a href="http://artinaction.org/"><span style="color: #f45c20;">Art in Action</span></a>, a non-profit organization based
in neighboring Menlo Park, which had been implemented successfully in her
previous district.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

per year, for each class that uses the program, which focuses on visual arts.
For that, they get access to online curriculum with 12 lessons each for
Kindergarten through eighth grade. Thanks to a network of thousands of parent
volunteers who teach art in their children’s schools, the organization keeps
its costs down.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

been trained (and have) the passion and excitement to bring to the kids each
week,” says Miller. “We’re giving (students) an opportunity to explore
creatively and have their imaginations soar and be innovative, maybe even in
solving problems.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>

its lessons are aligned with the new Common Core standards in math, reading,
and writing, and can be tailored to fit the curriculum in all other subjects
from history to geography.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

tells them about the African American artist Faith Ringgold, now 85-years-old,
who is best known for her quilts depicting stories of race and racism.
Ringgold’s work was influenced by quilts made by slaves in the South that had
coded symbols sewn into them.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

hang the quilts on fences as if they were drying laundry, but they were

“not only is there a difference between how they act during art classes and
lessons, but it seems to spill over to more engagement in school generally,”
says Catterall.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: 15.6pt;">

Catterall’s observations. Schools with dynamic art programs have higher
attendance rates, stronger morale, and better test scores than other schools,
according to a <a href="http://pcah.gov/news/pcah-releases-landmark-arts-education-study"><span style="color: #f45c20;">2011 report</span></a> from the President’s
Committee on the Arts and the Humanities.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

and low-income schools with and without arts education found that, across the
board, students at schools with strong art programs do better in nearly every
respect.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: 15.6pt;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "opensans","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; letter-spacing: .25pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">The benefits are especially significant for poor children
enrolled in arts-rich schools. Twice as many attended four-year colleges or
universities, compared with poor kids at schools without much art. And they
were three times as likely to earn a bachelor’s degree. They were also less
likely to drop out. Perhaps unsurprisingly, low-income students from arts-rich
schools were found to be more engaged overall — more involved in sports, clubs,
and volunteering, and more attuned to current events.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

child’s school district in 1982, arts education had been decimated in
California by <a href="http://www.californiataxdata.com/pdf/Prop13.pdf"><span style="color: #f45c20;">Proposition 13</span></a>, the 1978 ballot measure that
led public schools to lose billions in funding almost overnight. Today, Art in
Action reaches about 50,000 students in more than 200 schools in 19 states,
from California to Florida. Over the next three to five years, the program
plans to nearly double the number of students it serves. But not all agree that
organizations like Art in Action are the best way to get arts education into
schools.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: 15.6pt;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "opensans","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; letter-spacing: .25pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">“We would never want to see an outside arts or culture
organization replace an arts teacher,” says Doug Israel, director of research
and policy at the <a href="https://centerforartsed.org/"><span style="color: #f45c20;">Center for Arts Education</span></a>, which advocates for
professional art teachers in every New York City Public School. Ultimately,
however, Israel says Art in Action and similar programs are “a benefit for
students and better than no arts.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>

fifth grade teacher Jessica Kwa says she’s already planning to use the Faith
Ringgold lesson when they start working on fractions.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: 15.6pt;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "opensans","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; letter-spacing: .25pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">“It’s definitely easier for them to have something to
refer back to,” says Kwa.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: 15.6pt;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "opensans","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; letter-spacing: .25pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Art also has something of a transcendent effect on her
students, some more than others. She recalls a boy named Joel who missed
homework and disrupted class. Art in Action changed him.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: 15.6pt;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "opensans","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; letter-spacing: .25pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">“I was surprised because I hadn’t seen him so meticulous
with any work before,” says Kwa. “I immediately jumped on that opportunity to
praise him, recognizing his strengths.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: 15.6pt;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "opensans","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; letter-spacing: .25pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">When he got stuck on concepts in math and started to give
up, she would refer to art class to remind him of his capabilities. Over time,
Joel made those connections instinctively. He became more focused in class,
turned in his homework on time, and his grades improved.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
