"outstanding service in the coolest Riad"
Thoroughly enjoyed our 3 night stay. The staff treated us brilliantly. For example, the owner insisted on calling his family doctor, who did a house call to the Riad to care for my wife who suffered a bee sting. The staff also spent an hour setting up the Ireland/France world cup qualifier on the TV (although unfortunately couldn't influence the result!) The rooms were spotless and decorated in a very trendy African theme. We had two dinners there, both scrumptious, and we got great recommendations from the owner on the things to see in Marrakech (incl. a fun cooking class). All in all, the Riad is a wonderful balance to an often hectic city and I will certainly be directing friends and family this way

As biomedical innovation has developed advanced therapeutic modalities and prospective cures for ailments that previously had no comparable courses of treatment, the challenge of crafting sustainable reimbursement models has inspired a variety of value-based agreements. Departure from traditional dosage-based models makes it difficult for therapy developers, payers, patients, and investors to plan for a new therapy’s rollout and breadth of patient access. This session will explore the early lessons from current value-based agreements to explain the payers’ expectations for future models of reimbursing treatments based on outcomes versus delivery.

I guess curb appeal is important when you're selling a jeep too. Or maybe the owner is just a gardener. This jeep was a quarter mile away from our motel so I got to enjoy it several times over the weekend.

Another one of my idols growing up in the 70's was Mark Roth, seen here signing a True-Value cap for some fan. Mark is considered by many as being the pioneer of the "crank" shot in bowling and was a formidable opponent for all of the late 70's and early 80's. Unfortunately his career was cut short a few years ago from a massive stroke. He competed on the senior tour right up until that time.
I saw value finders in a quilt store years ago but didn't really understand how they worked. Nevertheless, I went to an art store and found the red and green acetate and made a crude one of my own...but only out of the red paper - because I didn't know why I needed both.
My Colombian quilt group - wonderful traditional quilters - are always auditioning fabrics when we meet - and getting the opinions of the other ladies. Last week I told them about value finders and then decided to come home to make them one.
I made them each one using the red paper and then googled ' value finder' to make sure I was calling it the right thing.
Well...little did I know that you need both! The red can't see reds and the green can't see greens.
So, I got busy and made the green value finders and attached them with a loop.
This tool helps with ANY art media be it fabric, paint, markers, paper... where-ever you use color.
FT. Buchanan, PR – “We are here to honor Col. Miguel A. Isaac as he takes off the uniform of military he has served for the past 35 years. Today, we say good bye to a value leader who has served with honor and distinction throughout a long and successful career, military and civilian.” said Brig. Gen. José R. Burgos, U.S. Army Reserve in Puerto Rico Commanding General on his opening remarks on the Retirement Ceremony of Col. Miguel A. Isaac, Deputy Commander and Commander Executive Officer (CXO) of the 1st Mission Support Command (1st MSC) on 11 Jan.
The Military retirement ceremonies give the opportunities to friends, colleagues and others to thank the retiring Soldiers for his service and sacrifice made during his career. In this occasion, the 1st MSC hold a very special ceremony to Col. Isaac while he prepares to take a rest of the military life after 35 year when he was commissioned on June 1979 as Signal Officer.
“Since 1979 Miguel understood that the military will deal in an environment that is full of changes and surprises, it is for that reason that adaption and flexibility are keys to success. With your leadership the 1st MSC is one of the top commands of the U.S. Army Reserve Command, and I thank you for that. Throughout all you career, you set the example for your people and inspired their confidence. You gave them the right tools, push them forward and got out their way so they could do their best work, and they have.” add Brig. Gen. Burgos on his remark and extending his gratitude also to Ms. Sandra Isaac, Miguel Jr. and Alexandra, Col. Isaac family.
Col. Isaac was responsible for the direct supervision of two subordinates’ elements consisting of two Regional Support Groups and the 1st MSC Headquarters. He was responsible for all aspects of command, with emphasis on providing ready units and trained Soldiers capable of performing their wartime missions. His focus areas include Soldier mobilization, recruitment, retention, readiness, safety, and the Family Readiness Program. Since June, 2002, Mr. Isaac serves as CXO of the 1st MSC, US Army Reserve in Puerto Rico. The 1st MSC is a command of over 3,900 Soldiers covering the entire island of Puerto Rico and Saint Thomas, V.I. Mr. Isaac served as primary advisor and consultant to the Commander on policy matters relative to various phases of Army Reserve Program and other missions of the command.
“I am retiring but my legacy will continue. Is being a journey of 35 years, I have visited many countries and meet different people. Coming for a very humble childhood I never thought about being here today, retiring as US Army Colonel in this fine Army that have given me and my family so much, that I am so grateful to serve my country. As a baby-boomer all good thing has come to an end, and start a new way of life. I hope and I wish you all have a bless life like I have, and you do your most and best in all your endeavors. How I will like to be remembered? Very simple, that I placed my missions first, that I was part of a team but I also like to have fun. It was all about the Soldiers, it was not about me. I have to say goodbye, but goodbyes are not forever, that’s only means that I will miss you until we meet again. I salute you all.” said Col. Isaac on his final remarks as he thank the Soldiers, the civilian force, family and friends to support him during his career.

Visit your local Moomba Dealer and put some more pop in your lake life with the Mojo 2.5.
Cordobeses sense of values: Iggy (and I honestly believe this refers to Iggy Pop) is God.
Cordoba. What's in a name? Human settlement here seems to have always had a variation of this name.
The first recorded existence of a settlement here (though Neanderthal existence was confirmed in the area between 42,000-35,000 B.C. and preurban settlements dating from the 8th century B.C.)...was with the Carthaginians.
General Hamilcar Barca (Hannibal's dad) renamed it Kartuba (previously called Kart-Juba, which meant "City of Juba.").
The Romans, after winning the Punic Wars, took over Iberia (in 206 B.C.) and dramatically changed the name of this town to...Corduba. With the Romans, you can start to find plenty of things in town. The Roman Bridge still stands. The Roman city wall still stands (base is Roman and changes with subsequent civilizations as you go up...Moorish, Christian.) If you tour the Alcazar, you'll see a handful of nice Roman mosaics on display. Then there's the Roman temple and ruins there.
Well, those Romans didn't last forever. After about 5-6 centuries of glory, they faded into history books, being overtaken in bits and pieces by northern European groups. For Cordoba's purposes...the Visigoths. The Visigoths were Christians, not some backwoods group. They built a church (St. Vincent Church) on the site of what is now the Mezquita-Cathedral in the heart of Cordoba. The Visigoths, though, weren't as strong as the Romans and squabbled a bit. Civil wars made their presence here fairly short-lived (just over 100 years) until the next dominant folks came calling.
The Moors decided to pay the town a visit in 711. They liked it so much that they took it over by force and stayed...for about 500 years.
At first, it was a subordinate town to the Damascus Caliphate. And the Moors, too, changed the name of the city to something really different: Qurtuba.
Apparently tiring of reporting to Damascus, the locals decided they'd just run things themselves beginning in 766 A.D. by naming this the Umayyad Emirate (eventually Caliphate).
Things went well for the Moors in Spain (which is why they ran the Good Ship Iberia for 7 centuries or so.) While Christian Europe tends to call these the Dark Ages, they were anything but here in Iberia.
By global standards of those times, Cordoba was massive. Its population ~800 A.D. was about 200,000. That was 0.1% of the global population. (That would put it on par with a city of 7 million today, which is...Hong Kong or Ho Chi Minh City/Saigon. Basically...massive.) At the height of the Caliphate (~1,000 A.D.), the population had doubled to about 400,000.
And why did so many folks live in good ol' Cordoba? Well, during the 10th-11th centuries, Cordoba was one of the greatest cultural, political, financial, and economic centers of the world.
Christians and Jews coexisted fairly well with the Moors (well...it's all relative, I suppose). Take the Jewish quarter, for example.
The Jews all lived on three fairly small narrow streets near the Great Mosque (which was built on the ruins of St. Vincent Church during this time). They were allowed to go out and work in town by day, but they had a curfew and were all locked in the neighborhood by night. Not sure how I'd like that.
One of the most important Jewish scholars, Maimonides, was born here in Cordoba (in the 1130s; 1135, or 1138). This was the end of what folks would call the Golden Age of Judaism on the peninsula. (Bad things -- or worse things -- were in store for the Sefarad.)
Maimonides bolted at a fairly young age and spent the majority of his life in northern Africa (Morocco, Egypt.) He was a rabbinical scholar, astronomer, physician, and philosopher. He was basically a Renaissance Man...before the Renaissance.
Like the end of the Golden Age of Jewish culture in the Iberian Peninsula, the Moors reign was slowly being chipped away by Christian Spain. (Almost immediately upon taking over 90% of the Iberian Peninsula in 711, the Christians fought back, little by little, to reconquer their land.)
With the death of al-Mansur, after an expedition up north to La Rioja, in 1002, the caliphate slowly started to disintegrate. It had everything except a strong ruler. Even with that, it took the Christians quite some time to reconquer Cordoba.
King Fernando III of Spain took the city after a few months' siege in 1236. Cordoba lost its position as the most important city -- Sevilla was the new capital of Andalusia -- and Cordoba's position in the world faded during the Renaissance. (I guess you could say Cordoba had an anti-Renaissance?) The population dwindled to 20,000 in the 17th century.
What you have in town now are the remains of history, surrounded by generic modernity. (Directly across the way from the Door of Forgiveness to the Great Mosque? Burger King. How's that for progress?)
I'll write specific pieces on the Mezquita (which demands its own space) and also on the flowered patios for which modern Cordoba is famous in other posts.
