Well, so far there has been no response to any of my e-mails to BC Parks or Columbia Fuels about the fuel slick we found in Tod Inlet on Sunday, July 10. But I did discover that there is an official provincial emergency number to call to report hazardous materials and oil spills! And thank you to our reader Jo, who also put that information in our comments.
Here in British Columbia, call the 24-hour Spill Line toll-free at 1-800-663-3456 to report when you see a spill of gasoline, oil, or any other kind of hazardous material. The Spill Line is just one part of the Provincial Emergency Program. This particular office responds to reports of emergencies on land but will take calls about spills on water and forward the case to the appropriate federal agency. This same toll-free number can be called any time of day or night to report any kind of emergency including flooding, boaters in distress, or wildfire. Here's their Weekly Incident Report from last week. Busy people!
Anywhere in California, Oregon, Washington, and British Columbia, call the International Marine Oil Spill Reporting line toll-free at 1-800-OILS-911 to report when you see a spill of any kind of fuel on the water.
Those are good phone number for kayakers to know. I now keep them on the cell phone that I carry while on the water, as well as the number for the DFO's Observe, Record and Report 24-hour hotline at 1-800-465-4336. That number is toll-free. Call to report any sightings of marine mammals in distress. Or if you happen to see any sea turtle, healthy or in distress, call the DFO!
There are other citizens concerned about fuel spills, who are working to promote public awareness and to encourage corporations to behave responsibly. Check out the report at the Dogwood Initiative about one local kid's group and their activities!

For some years now ART in the WORKPLACE has enjoyed increasing usage in small to medium-sized firms - and not simply for decorative purposes. The advantages of ART in the WORKPLACE are numerous:
Diverse studies - for example by Lexmark or by International Art Consultants together with the British Council for Offices - have shown that ART in the WORKPLACE does indeed inspire people to more creativity, improves well-being and even increases productivity - particularly when employees are involved in the project!
The methods and the media with which we can achieve these aims are various. Here are just a few:
...and much more. Contact me directly for an informal non-binding brainstorming at: email@example.com
Internationally renowned Professor Thomas Otto from the Lukas Hospital in Neuss set a very personable style together with two nurses.
A global leader in the field of precious metals successfully used the star wars theme for an internal presentation.
A classical portrait style was the ideal solution for the Chancellor's Office of the Heinrich Heine University in Düsseldorf
Pure motivation: An entire team was pictured as science fiction heroes for a marketing project.
The Allstar Explain Academy - here are just a few of the members - can put your message across simply, convincingly and unforgettably.
Photomontage in the hands of an illustrator can deliver powerful messages!
This 3D model of a pharmacy was created for a medical delivery supplies chain and was a big hit in the pharmacies! Haptic has increased value in the digital age!

Did you get stuck trying to solve June's secret code? Here it is again:
How It Works
This code looks really complicated, but it's pretty easy to break. All you have to do is look for the letters to the right of the stars. Ignore any other lines, symbols or letters, and you'll read it in record time. Got it?
Carpooling, or sharing a ride, became a common form of transportation during World War II when the government encouraged people to drive together as a way of rationing gasoline. In fact, there were even posters printed that said if you didn't carpool, you were helping the enemy win the war! In later years, such as during the oil crises in the 1970s, carpooling became popular again.
Today, about 10 percent of people carpool on their way to work or school. The majority of carpoolers are family members. Using the Internet, people are able to arrange carpools faster than ever.
Look for a new code in the next issue of Clubhouse magazine.

Music can be a great power for good, yet we do not make the most of this branch of worship. The singing is generally done from impulse or to meet special cases, and at other times those who sing are left to blunder along, and the music loses its proper effect upon the minds of those present. Music should have beauty, pathos, and power. Let the voices be lifted in songs of praise and devotion. Call to your aid, if practicable, instrumental music, and let the glorious harmony ascend to God, an acceptable offering."—Testimonies, vol. 4, p. 71. "The singing is not always to be done by a few. As often as possible, let the entire congregation join."—Testimonies, vol. 9, pp. 143, 144.
Psalm 150 commands us to "Praise ye the LORD. Praise God in his sanctuary: praise him in the firmament of his power. Praise him for his mighty acts: praise him according to his excellent greatness… Let everything that hath breath praise the LORD. Praise ye the LORD."
As a multi-cultural church it is the goal of the Music Department to offer a blended worship service that includes both contemporary and traditional styles. Here at Oakwood University Church we will provide a worship experience that celebrates our history, while becoming the musical glimpse into Heaven – a place where all will worship together in praise to our God.
Music Ministry's Vision
To provide the highest quality in church music through various genres not as a demonstration of our talent but as a "Sacrifice of Praise" to God.
Music Ministry's Goals
To lead our congregation in praise and worship to God with the voice and instruments. To provide a balanced program that appreciates our past and embraces our future.
To have an inclusive program where all can participate with the voice or instrument.

Starting with the name, Freek's Mill is an idiosyncratic destination. (The corner spot takes its name from an actual mill that used to exist at the location—in the 18th century.) The postindustrial neighborhood is on its way back, attracting development, artists and young families. Pioneering types fill the tables at this appealing tavern. Partners J. T. Stewart and Maxime Giordani (formerly of Mario Batali's Casa Mono and Bar Jamón) and chef Chad Shaner (ex-Union Square Café) have created a warm environment for their small-plate concept with big-league ambitions. The menu changes often, but there might be dandelion greens with fried chicken livers and a farm-fresh egg; multihued roasted carrots with yogurt sauce and peanut dukkah (a nutty mixture of seeds and spices); and soft pork jowl with pickled vegetables. Menu prices include gratuity.

Oct. 23 was a sad day for me because my favorite bookmarking tool, SimplyBox, closed to the public. I liked SimplyBox because of it's ease of use, organization and functionality. But, most of all, I liked that it was visual. You could collect screen shots of the sites you wanted to bookmark. So instead of just seeing the name of the site, you would also see the screenshot. SimplyBox was such a excellent tool, that I wasn't surprised with their decision to focus on Enterprise and close to the public.
So, that sent me on my quest to find another visual bookmarking tool that also had the ease of use, organization and functionality that I wanted. I came across several candidates in my search, but Zootool was by far the best for meeting my criteria. When you save a bookmark in Zootool, it takes a screenshot of the website. You can organize your bookmarks into categories, which Zootool refers to as Packs. You can also organize your bookmarks with tags. The only real drawback I've found with Zootool is that the application doesn't allow you share an entire Pack. You can only share a single bookmark or Profile Page link, which gives someone access to your entire collection of bookmarks.
You can share your bookmarks and follow other users with Zootool . If you find a Zootool user you want to follow, you can follow them through the application and/or through RSS. The RSS option for following a user is located at the bottom of the users Profile Page. You can find my Zootool Profile Page here if you'd like to follow my bookmarks. You can follow and add your comments to my bookmarks.
Zootool also offers an iPhone app. I put the app on my iPad too! There was a small fee for the iPhone app, but it's well worth it! The Zootool app ranks very high among my favorite apps.
Another feature of Note is that you can place bookmarks into multiple Packs. The iPad app allows you to select multiple Packs at the time of bookmarking. If you're bookmarking on a desktop or laptop, you can select one Pack at the time of bookmarking. Once the site is bookmarked, you can simply drag it into as many Packs as you want.

I think pretty much everyone could use a little (or a lot) less stress in their lives, am I right?? (please correct me if I'm wrong and tell me ALL your secrets).
When I was about ten years old, we did an exercise in school in which we all got given a little paper doll, and were told to write everything we were stressed about on it. My doll was full to bursting. Don't ask me what a ten year old could possibly be stressed about (I think it was mainly stuff like ballet exams, getting homework done on time etc), and I don't know if I actually had more on my plate than my classmates or if I was just feeling it more, but I realised then that I am a person who is slightly prone to stress. My classmates called me Stress Jess after that, and my sister has often lovingly referred to me as a "stress monkey".
As I've gotten older and my stressors have changed slightly (ballet exams have been replaced by university exams), I feel like I have gotten better at managing stress but it is still a challenge for me. I can always tell if I'm stressed about something, because I will wake up at 3am on the dot every morning and not be able to get back to sleep. This will last until I stop feeling stressed about whatever it was. It's fun 😉
I try to look at whatever I am stressed about in a positive way. Of course sometimes there are stressful situations in which there is not much to be done, but I am lucky enough that in my life, my biggest stressors are usually the things that I am also most excited about. For example, getting my essays done for university. Ummm I am SO GRATEFUL every day to have been accepted in to this program which I love so much, and that I am able to study here in Sydney and spend every day working towards my dream of a MA in psychotherapy. So in a weird way, I want this stress in my life.
That doesn't mean that I don't need a way to deal with it though. Those 3am starts are a little brutal 😉 (seriously, how do parents with babies do it?) Can you guess what my biggest strategies for dealing with stress are? This might be tough guys. I'll help you out – yoga and running.
Running is pretty straightforward for me. I always, always finish a run feeling less stressed than I was pre-run. Even if I am really busy, a 20 minute run (or even a 5 minute tabata interval run) will take a huge edge off my stress, and help me be more productive afterwards.
Yoga, ironically, is a little different. For me personally, it is possible to leave a yoga class more stressed than when I entered it. It seems to be something to do with the style of yoga and the teacher, and the wrong combination (for me) of those two factors can really wig me out. This doesn't happen often at all, but I think it is really good to realise that not every style of asana practice is going to necessarily bliss one out in the ideal way. I think for everyone this is probably different, so I feel slightly hesitant to recommend yoga classes for stress. I do think that knowing whether you personally feel more relaxed after an intense workout or more relaxed after a slow meditative activity could probably clear this up a little.
So, for those who enjoy an endorphin-inducing sweaty yoga sesh with a nice flow of poses:
For those who prefer slightly longer holds in poses and less of a flow:
For those who like a quick and quiet meditative practice:
(I realise this is a bedtime yoga sequence, but sometimes I find this really helpful even if I am not going to sleep afterwards, because I am so wound up that it takes a bedtime sequence to bring me down).
For those who find long holds in just a few poses (yin) helpful:
A sure fire way for me to bring my stress down (sometimes I am just not in the mood for listening to a yoga teacher, even if it is on Youtube) is to do an intuitive practice. For me this means putting my yoga mat in a nice space (on the balcony, my neighbors are so lucky that they get to see me doing all sorts of awkward yoga poses every day 😉 ), putting on whatever music is calming to me, and busting out my fave calming yoga poses. Of course this is a little easier if you have been to classes and have a good idea of which poses you like, so here are a few of my favourites that are generally known to be calming and stress-relieving. Sometimes "fancy" looking poses get more attention, but in my world the simple poses are often the most effective.
Puppy Pose (Uttana Shishosana):
Downward dog (Adho Mukha Svanasana) (any inversion (upside down) pose is great for stress btw):
Extended Triangle Pose (Utthita Trikonasana):
Toe squat ball – I actually don't know what the proper name for this pose is, could someone please enlighten me? Toe squat ball sounds great though I know 😉 (this is great for runner's feet too FYI):
Easy pose with forward fold (Adho Mukha Sukhasana):
Knees to chest pose (Apanasana):
Bridge Pose (Setu Bandha Sarvangasana):
You can click on the name of each pose if you want a proper explanation and clear photo of the pose, I know my yoga selfies are super artistic though 😉
I think stress is a really personal thing, and so whatever you need to do to relieve stress might be quite different from what I do. Also, your idea of stress-relieving yoga might be quite different from mine. I would love to hear your methods in the comments 🙂
How do you cope with stress?
Would you describe yourself as a "stress monkey" or are you pretty chill? – I am honestly a lot more chilled out now that I do yoga. And run. Last time I was home, my sis was like "wow, this would have totally stressed you out before and now you are way more relaxed!"
What is the thing that brings you the LEAST stress in your life right now? – I love reminding myself of exciting things in my life that don't stress me, a nice skype date/email with my family, a hilarious talk with a friend 🙂

More than eight decades later it's still there, now owned by sisters of a different family but with the same mission: meaningful, personal gifts that will brighten someone's day.
Abbey Fields and Sarah Douglas temporarily shut down their shop on New Year's Eve. Then they spent three weeks gutting and remodeling the space at 320 W. 63rd St. It reopened in late January with a new white and turquoise decor, new logo and new merchandise.
"We think of Shop Beautiful as a person — a classy Kansas City lady who is generous, vibrant and fashionable," Fields said.
It now features a SavArt pop-up with works by local artist Mike Savage, including scenes of the Country Club Plaza, Kauffman Stadium and even Joe's Kansas City Bar-B-Que; pearl jewelry by Pearly Girls in Prairie Village; and socks from Foot Traffic in the Crossroads Arts District with such designs as "Love the Wine You're With" and its current top-selling llama socks.
Shop Beautiful carries jewelry by a Brookside artist who uses old and new materials in her designs, including stones, pearls, shells, fossils, Bakelite and more. The shop has long carried Trapp and Co. candles but now also offers Fairway-based Lake Candles with two scents created just for it: Beautiful Spring and Beautiful Summer. Beautiful Autumn and Beautiful Winter will roll out later in the year.
And it has a few collegiate-themed items for the University of Kansas, the University of Missouri and Kansas State University.
"The neighborhood has supported us 100 percent, so we want to support them," said Cindy Price, who has worked the sales floor for 38 years. "And we want to have the right gift for everyone."
But Shop Beautiful also has fine crystal jewelry made in Israel by Mariana and designs by Spain's Unode50. Unode50 has one line where it makes just 50 pieces of each design to sell worldwide.
"Once they are gone, they are gone," Price said.
Bar carts are currently trendy, so Shop Beautiful has polka dot drinking glasses and other unique barware pieces. The shop also is selling more home decor items such as lamps and pillows. Its stuffed doorstops, shaped like cats, a row of pigs or bunnies, have been particularly popular.
"It took us by surprise. People are buying the doorstops and taking them home to take a photo with their pet. So we are going to have a look-a-like contest," Fields said.
The shop has a section for baby gifts and another for brides with Beatriz Ball pieces made from recycled metalware.
"They are sturdy, they don't require polishing, they hold both heat and cold, and they are beautiful to look at," Fields said. "When I first started working at Shop Beautiful we sold so much silver, but people had help polishing it then."
One recent shopper gazed in delight at the seasonal displays set up for Valentine's Day, St. Patrick's Day and Easter. When Price asked if she needed help, she replied: "I'm just enjoying this."
The original Shop Beautiful sign hangs high on one wall, above some shop artifacts including photos of the original owners, a 1946 check for $4.08, custom stamps to advertise the shop, a 1937 dime and an OPA 1 Red Point, change for ration coupons during World War II.
Fields said Frances Brockus purchased the shop in 1966 from the original owners, sisters Dorothy Gangwer and Alice DeVasher.
Ruthelma "Ruth" Martin, mother of Fields and Douglas, had been selling class rings, caps and gowns for graduation with a male business partner. But after he suddenly died, the company declined to let her keep the sales territory because she was a woman, Fields said.
Her attorney, who negotiated a settlement, also was Brockus' brother-in-law and knew she needed help at Shop Beautiful. He suggested Martin, who had an economics degree, use the settlement money to buy into the shop. A year later, Martin became the sole owner after buying out Frances Brockus.
Fields joined the company full time in 1981, and Douglas joined full time in 1993. The sisters also have a location in Overland Park's Hawthorne Plaza.
"It has always been a place where people come to visit with each other," Fields said.

text: My husband (C6/7) has been in pain since his accident.. I know that many of you are cursed with it as well, and I truly sympathize with each and every one of you. We have tried many things - from oxycodone to amytriptyline, baclofen, neurontin, and every non medicinal cure imaginable to no avail. My husband has always been prescribed a small amount of Xanax , which he has used once a night at bedtime to fall asleep. At some point we noticed that he is not in pain after he takes it .. and we now use it as the ONLY thing that controls his nerve pain. .. every time he takes it, a short time later, he says "I"M NOT IN PAIN ANYMORE". And it is such a blessing and a load from my shoulders every time i hear him say that. I know Xanax is addictive, and not a good drug, but if its between that and pain, we'll take it. Every day is like torture for both of us otherwise. He hasn't been given enough of it to be pain free, just for short periods, but I urge anyone who suffers to give it a try, responsibly and respectfully

The Assassin and the Underworld (Throne of Glass 0.3)
Publication: 1st May 2012
Publisher: Bloomsbury USA Childrens
Pages: 92
Genre: Fantasy
Age Appropriate: Young Adult
*Warning This Review Contains Spoilers From The Previous Books In The Series*
When the King of the Assassins gives Celaena Sardothien a special assignment that will help fight slavery in the kingdom, she jumps at the chance to strike a blow against an evil practice. The misson is a dark and deadly affair which takes Celaena from the rooftops of the city to the bottom of the sewer—and she doesn't like what she finds there.
My Thoughts...
And another fantastic novella, at the moment I'm really thinking that Maas can do no wrong.
We catch up with Celaena the day she arrives home, her master Arobynn apologizes profusely for the way he treated her before she was sent away to the Red Desert to train with the Silent Assassins, and showers her with gifts, Celaena who arrived with enough money to pay off her debt to him and be free puts off giving him the money and instead agrees to do a job for him after a bit of persuading on his part.
The job is to take down a man who's plan it is to trade in slaves, and since Celaena thwarted Arobynn's plans in the first novella to trade in slaves, he knows that this is the perfect job for her, and so we see her investigate the daily goings-on of her target to plan her strategy to take him down.
She is also assisted by Sam, yes Sam is in this novella, he was sorely missed in the previous novella and this time they may just admit their feelings towards one another!
But through all this Celaena is betrayed by somebody that she knows which makes for an ending that I'm extremely happy about, and which makes me even more excited to start the fourth and last novella.
I just hope it will be a happy ending, and that nothing bad will happen to Celaena or Sam.
I give this 5/5.

// April 18th, 2007 // Blog
I stumbled across this beautiful photo (here), during my blog travels.
māshā'Allāh, ain't he the cutest?
Combined with an equally adorable pic over at OM's blog, it's enough to turn one broody… eep!
Quick! Someone talk about drag racing, football, motorcycles – anything!
I'm about to drown in my own oestrogen!
5 Responses to "Cherubim"
hahaha. Those kids are cute. For some reason I love admiring children from far away, I don't think I can ever handle my own. Not sure why I think this way!
Fear, my dear… ;)
To be honest, i don't think i can get that broody, after witnessing first hand the burdens of bringing up little babies. It's not that i'm totally put off – i just know that it's hard work, so i'm not about to rush into it with naive ideas of "coochy coo".
I'm not sure that my last sentence made sense.
Perfect solution to broodiness is to stand in line in a supermarket behind some small child throwing a tantrum because mum has said they cannot have a sweet. The best contraception there is.
Too cute, Masha'Allah!!!:)
lol… masha'Allah… cute kid… but I've also seen most of my friends getting pregnant and then dealing with the results thereof… :S
Definitely put me off! The diapers! The crying! The vomit! The… everything else involved!! *shudders*

For this I am creating the publication at an A2 format, so that it presents a more tactile nature to the publication and encourages interaction within it as the format is much larger to normal. The publication will also be screen printed as this is essential to show the print vs digital argument.
The publication will be set up to replicate the website by having the pages in the same order and using the same layout, but just with the coding instead.
In order to get an idea of how the website will translate to the printed publication, I have created a mock up version to show the order, content and stock that will be used on each page. This mock up is a minimum of pages and what will be within the publication, as I am designing it there may be more added to it, if it is needed.
Stylesheet. Every page within the website uses the same stylesheet, so having this at the front of the publication and before all the pages shows that they all use this. This will be printed on Pale Grey 175gsm.
Navigation pages. These will run throughout the publication, they are a way in which the user will know what sections are coming up next within the publication, but they also link back to the idea of a website, as they are designed as 'buttons' which would be present on the website. These aren't that major within the design of the publication, so I am using a lighter stock. Mist 135gsm.
Home page. This will be printed on Mandarin 175gsm
Navigation. Mist 135gsm.
About. Again printed on Mandarin 175gsm.
Navigation page. Mist 135gsm
For the portfolio / projects pages I am going to show 5 different projects within the publication and website. I think this a good number to start off with and showcase the work that I do. I have chosen the best 5 projects from all that I am completed within uni. This will be printed on Mandarin 135gsm. I have done this on a smaller weight than the main pages, because they are in effect layered on top of each other, these pages are navigated off the main pages of the website, so using a smaller weight represents this. Keeping the Mandarin stock, still signifies it is of significance.
Portfolio / project 2. Mandarin 135gsm.
Portfolio / projects 3. Mandarin 135gsm.
Portfolio / projects 4. Mandarin 135gsm.
Portfolio / projects 5. Mandarin 135gsm.
Portfolio mast page. As the portfolios / project pages are navigated off the main website page, this page is put in place to be a anchor page for them all, this basically will be the same design as the home page.
Mandarin 175gsm.
Navigation. Mist 135gsm.
Contact page. Mandarin 175gsm.
Stylesheet / archive page. Pale grey 175gsm.
Even though this mock up publication, doesn't resemble anything like the design of the layout of the pages, it gives me an order in which to design to and starting point for the publication. Looking at this mock up will give you the gist and idea of the publication, even without any sort of design on each of the page.

Midsummer night, 1894, in northern Sweden. The complex strictures of class bind a man and a woman. Miss Julie, the inexperienced but imperious daughter of the manor, deigns to dance at the servant's party. She's also drawn to Jean, a footman who has traveled, speaks well, and doesn't kowtow. He is engaged to Christine, a servant, and while she sleeps, Jean and Miss Julie talk through the night in the kitchen. For part of the night it's a power struggle, for part it's the bearing of souls, and by dawn, they want to break the chains of class and leave Sweden together. When Christine wakes and goes off to church, Jean and Miss Julie have their own decisions to make.

- About this book
Taking the business model as point of departure, this open access book explores how companies and organizations can contribute to a more sustainable future by designing innovative models that are both sustainable and profitable. Based upon years of research, it draws together theoretical foundations and existing literature on the topic of sustainable business alongside case studies and practical solutions. After examining the theoretical foundations of sustainable business model innovation, the authors present their own framework – RESTART. Consisting of seven factors, this framework can be the basis for restarting any business model. The final section outlines a research agenda for sustainable business informed by the perspectives and frameworks put forward in this book.

- Reviews
"This is a very practical framework that executives will find quite useful in guiding their thinking to develop a truly sustainable business model. It should be read by all who are deeply concerned with sustainable business." (R. Edward Freeman, University Professor, The Darden School, University of Virginia)
"The sustainable business agenda is mainstreaming at last, a process that coincides with the evolution and deployment of radically different mindsets, technologies and business models. Entire industries and economies will be disrupted. In RESTART, Sveinung Jørgensen and Lars Jacob Tynes Pedersen indicate where this grand convergence is now headed – and explain how business leaders and their organisations can help drive the necessary system change. Recommended reading." (John Elkington, Chairman & Chief Pollinator, Volans)
"RESTART represents a thoughtful, well-researched and extremely practical approach to making business models sustainable for the future. The field of sustainability has lacked a comprehensive and practical approach for sustainable business model innovation, and RESTART fills this vital need. The case studies illustrate the framework in illuminating ways that senior executives can readily understand and use." (Ram Nidumolu, CEO, Academy for Innovation & Management, award-winning HBR author)
"In the effort to solve the big sustainability challenges of our time, innovative business models are essential. In this book, Jørgensen and Pedersen show how companies can turn problems into solutions by giving their business models a RESTART. This book gives managers the tools for contributing to build a sustainable future." (David Katz, Founder and CEO, The Plastic Bank)
"In RESTART Sustainable Business Model Innovation, Jørgensen and Pedersen offer a practical and inspiring framework for designing more sustainable business models. The book offers rich material on companies that aim to align sustainability and profitability, both in the Nordic setting and beyond. RESTART is a valuable read for practitioners and scholars alike." (Robert Strand, Executive Director & Lecturer, Center for Responsible Business, Haas School of Business, University of California, Berkeley and Associate Professor of Leadership & Sustainability, Copenhagen Business School)
"Sustainability-oriented business models and their practical development are an increasingly important topic – for both academics and practitioners. To this day, we are missing consistent educational materials and frameworks that can be used in the classroom and in practice. Jørgensen and Pedersen address this gap with their innovative and well-crafted RESTART framework. A must read for every instructor, manager, and entrepreneur aiming for business models that contribute to sustainable development while they are successful in the market." (Florian Lüdeke-Freund, Chair for Corporate Sustainability, ESCP Europe Business School, Berlin)
"The RESTART framework is a guideline to manage sustainability in the 4th Industrial Revolution. Sustainability continues to be unescapable for business managers but its challenges have now been combined with those of the 4th Industrial Revolution and its massive need for business innovation. This book will interest those operating in developing countries, such as Brazil, because some of the solutions to our social and environmental challenges are already a great business opportunity, with sustainability and innovation walking hand in hand." (Annelise Vendramini, Professor, Sao Paulo School of Business Administration, Fundação Getulio Vargas)
"Jørgensen and Pedersen have written an authoritative book that draws together theories on innovation, business models, and sustainability in the unified RESTART framework. Their book may help resolve societal challenges related to climate, health, food waste, energy and many others. I was fascinated by their illuminating examples and case descriptions which explained theoretical insights and made the book easy to read. RESTART Sustainable Business Model Innovation is a must read for researchers, managers, and policy makers!" (Per Skålén, Professor of Business Administration, Service Research Center, Karlstad University)
"What we need now more than anything is to co-create a regenerative world where people thrive, do business consciously, lead with compassion and where our production is based on circularity. With RESTART the academic sustainability rock stars Jørgensen and Pedersen show how companies can contribute to such a thriving, regenerative future. Read their book. Get inspired, motivated and then get to work. We can do this." (Laura Storm, Founder of Regenerators, Co-creator of Sustaina)
"Jørgensen and Pedersen explain how to avoid trade-offs between financial performance and externalities. They have developed a good framework that emphasize the need for innovation and new business models that also serve the customers better in order to achieve this, hence creating win-win. A RESTART is needed to future-proof your business." (Reynir Indahl, Managing Partner, Summa Equity)

by Mandie Mutchie
I'm in love! You already knew that I am in love with my boyfriend, but I am ALSO in love with Priscilla Jade (the lingerie line, not a person)! I had the chance to ask designer Priscilla M. Codinach a few questions to learn more about her line and what inspires her, and am sharing what I learned with you!
How long have you been in the industry?
PJL has been is business for 7 years.
How did you become a lingerie designer?
My second semester in design school I wanted to start my own business. I always loved costumes and design as a little girl. Lingerie seemed like a fun industry to create my own brand.
How did Priscilla Jade come to be, and how did you select your name?
Before I enrolled in design school I gave myself the nick name PJ. My younger cousin said I looked like one of her Bratz dolls, Jade. I had long black hair at the time. I put the two names together and it just seemed to stick.
What inspires you as a designer, and your design for your line?
I love simplicity and comfort. When I first started designing for my label I wanted it to lux. Over time I learned what my customers were drawn to. All women want the same thing, to feel comfortable in their own skin. Its my goal to create intimates for every type of woman.
What sets you apart from other lines?
I grew up sewing with my grandmother. From start to finish my products are hand made. Patterns are drafted by hand and first samples are sewn in my home studio. I recently moved to Los Angeles in order to grow the company via production in the US. I value that my grandmother taught me how to sew. I want to keep that handmade principle and maintain a high quality product.
What do you love best about this season's line?
The Noir COLLECTION has been a signature line since it debuted. The basic styles and combinations are timeless. My intimates are versatile from a special evening out with your partner or having breakfast in bed.
What can we expect from Priscilla Jade in the future?
I will continue to build off of my signature style and evolve as a designer. Since I have been in Los Angeles I have more access to new materials and fabrics. I am excited to launch more ranges and colors for 2015.
Where is Priscilla Jade sold?
You can purchase PJL online at our website and several boutiques in Miami, Fl and Los Angeles, CA.
Do you exhibit at any trade shows?
No. Buyers can register as a boutique/retail location through our website. We list all retailers on our list of stockists.
Is there anything else that you would like the readers of Lipgloss & Lace to know about your collection and brand?
We offer gift cards. Black Friday/Cyber Monday sale ends Dec. 2 The shopping code is PJLBLK.
Here are some new photos from a Miami shoot that took place last week. The photographer is OTB Miami/Eduardo Valdez.
You can also see more at www.PriscillaJadeLingerie.com

Ok, this has to be the last time! after carrying out further tests on the joints I have decided that the current spherical eye bearings are not up to the job, and although are plenty strong enough, they are allowing far too much mechanical play in the joints which is not helping the stability of the machine. So its time to re-engineer the joints with taper roller bearings similar to the coxa joint that was altered last year.
|The first of six legs stripped.
|Sandy came in to help me out.
|Nearly finished, looks kind of cool.
|All done! I bet the re-build doesn't go so smoothly!
I also decided to order more powerful rams for the coxa joints. Although the existing rams have plenty of power when pushing, the pull force is half which makes the joint tuning very difficult. With the improvement I have already seen in the tibia rams I think the coxa rams will also benefit from a larger bore 50mm cylinder.

Pelmeni —
It is a true classic
They perfectly embody the simple blend of filling and dough. Siberian collection cherishes this part of culinary culture, gathering the best: pelmeni, dumplings (vareniki), pancakes (blini), khinkali and manti (big meat-dumplings).
It all
starts with the dough
We take snow-white extra class flour and knead it to the required standard consistency. We then get the thin, almost transparent dough used for our pelmeni. Hand-modelling remains the traditional base of many products of Siberian collection.
Filling is the heart
of the pelmeni.
We meticulously monitor the route of each component, from the farm to your table. Only natural meat, fresh vegetables, fruits, cottage cheese and aromatic spices are used in our products in a perfect ratio.
Adhering to
the "one to one" principle
We relentlessly control the quality and weigh each unit obtained. It is practice to use the term pelmeni in the plural form, but we actually believe in the uniqueness of each one of them.
Siberian collection
always strives to perfection
Our unique creations vary from 2g to 20g of pelmeni, as well as Dvulepnye pelmeni pelmeni with two separate fillings.
Real pleasure
is derived from boiling water
when it fully gives its refined taste,
Siberian collection supports you as a good hostess.

Just spent two nights in a 40' FW. All the other reviews are true. This was not a Campground in our opinion. It's just full of contractors, working personnel, and just full time residents. And sadly, most are some pretty scary RVs. We really didn't feel safe here, so we didn't go outside much. It is a dump. Utilities worked perfect. The worker in the office was not from the area and knew nothing we asked. If you are a big rig, fifth wheel with less than 9" inches bed clearance, or anything low to the ground, Do Not Visit this campground. The gravel roads are just river rock with giant potholes. GPS will take you to the wrong entrance. The swimming pool is a tiny above ground pool that doesn't have water in it. All the water ponds are all washed out and looks terrible. And of course, comes mosquitoes. We will never return. I'm just glad our fifth wheel wasn't damaged getting in or out. Large shopping center across from the back entrance. - jabberb
Mar 2019 - $50.00
We stayed here for 2 nights in late March. The entrance our GPS brought us to was the back entrance and it had a gate that was permanently locked which blocked the road to the front entrance. On the exit they have spike strips to prevent people from driving the wrong way BUT these are located on a hill so make sure to not roll back. The roads were all gravel and were pretty beat up with large holes everywhere. Getting to our site was very tricky as they have 5th wheels sticking out to far from the site on both sides of the road which only gave us a couple of extra inches to squeeze by without scrapping one or the other. I would not stay here again. - CamperWill136
Sep 2018 - $60.00
The campground is neither great nor terrible. It seems to have a large population of permanent residents, but most seem to maintain their campers and sites. There are a handful that look pretty trashy. Unleashed, uncollared, untagged dogs running loose. Lots of dog poop everywhere. The sites are mostly pretty tight, especially if you have slides on both sides. The neighbors awning is hanging over into my site a bit. Too tight to even bother putting out a chair and sitting out. Water pressure is good, power is steady. Didn't use the cable, so I cannot comment. Good signals on both Verizon and T-Mobile. Nice power box. Was able to put a lock on it to secure my surge suppressor. Road coming in is very, very rough, narrow, windy. Lots of pot holes. It did appear that there are preparations to repave and possibly widen a bit. It's safe enough if you drive slowly. I'm here a couple of nights for a work assignment. Not a place I would likely to return to for any other reason. - cKarlGo

This is our first time camping ever, it's been a roller coaster of issues with our pop up tent camper prior to camping so we were beyond nervous going out for the long weekend. Upon arrival, I noticed one of my stabilizing jacks dropped during the drive and was all bent up. Male staff member came up and assisted me. Upon check-in, the staff was more than welcoming and reassuring that they here to help me in any way. Girl staff was very sweet and went over everything prior to me pulling off to my site. Once I got settled, male staff came back around to make sure I was up and running. He helped me tweak some things with the camper and we were able to settle right in. The bathhouses are nearby, clean and perfect to freshen up. We had an awesome first night and can't wait to finish out the weekend. - Christopher Laver

We had reservations and paid a deposit for the first night but were running late due to traffic so my wife called to let them know we might arrive late, the woman told her since we hadn't paid for the entire week we were out of luck if we arrived after 5:00PM as they close and lock the gate, after some discussion they agreed to leave a token for the gate and we could pay the balance next morning. "The Meadows" is mostly grass where rain puddles in mud and it had rained so mud was everywhere, lucky for us a woman who had occupied the site was able to show us where the facilities were The site is split with Water and Electric on one side and Sewer on the other side, I could reach the power and water and use every inch of the three 10' sewer hoses that I snaked under my Class C to the sewer Unfortunately North Jersey is limited in campgrounds but we're looking elsewhere. - RVThereYet-BiilDot

Was expecting better from a $60 per night camping "resort". Nice facilities and well staffed but place is crowded with seasonal trailers packed in like sardines making it feel more like a trailer park than a camping resort. Glad I only booked 2 nights. - captn_rob

This park has basically no amenities or services. The camping area was a big field with a few trees around the perimeter. There were some Porta potties across the field. Dry camping on a field costs us $30. The park ranger was rude about our camping at night after 7 pm, so we hadn't paid in advance. This left a very bad impression of their state parks. Don't recommend. - stocky

We stayed here since we could not get in to the Spruce Run Rec Area campgrounds, This site is about 10 minutes away, up on top of a hill. You must drive up some steep grades to get to the campsite. The sites are "primitive", no water, elecricity, etc. The site itself is pretty enough, with the campsites all bordering a large grassy field. Be warned, there's a fair amount of poison ivy here and there (especially around the small playground, which our 2-year-old was magnetically attracted to). The bath house was fairly disgusting; there are pit toilets and a couple of showers. Lots of paper strewn around, and very unpleasant odors (my wife had to use the men's latrine because the women's was so disgusting). A nice feature (for those so interested) is that the NJ Astronomical Assn's observatory is a short hike away; they tell me it's the largest public telescope (27") in NJ. Attended an open talk there on Sat night, but it was unfortunately too hazy to use the big telescope. Probably would not stay here again if there's space at Spruce Run. - Will Dennis

There was virtually no one else here during our visit (midweek prior to school letting out). Park is pretty and wooded, with hiking paths, playgrounds, picnic areas and even an observatory1! Staff exceedingly helpful and pleasant. We had no trouble parking our 35' Fifth Wheel, although there are probably not many sites that we could have used. We were able to set up our Internet dish, but again, few sites from which this would have been possible. Please note that pets and even possession of alcohol are prohibited by park rules. There is a dump, but I think a large rig would have trouble using it. The drive through town to get here includes a 12'6" overpass and somewhat narrow roads. (There is an alternate route around the overpass.) - User51

Quiet (except for the occasional plane), shady, peaceful. No sewer but bathrooms were clean. Some of the sites are short, but there were also plenty of big rigs also some are not very level. Verizon work well. Lots of mosquitoes in the twilight hours. Water hookup is very strange. Sites 1-8 the water is in the middle supplied by hoses. Sites 9-18 water is in the very front and shared. Odd number sites are OK, but even number sites require a very very long hose, not sure if it is provided. Office closed Mon and Tues. Manager is very nice. Would stay again. - newbies2016

This is a great little stopover or getaway. Quiet (except the cicadas), shady, peaceful. No sewer but bathrooms were awesome. Some of the sites are short, but there were also plenty of big rigs. No satellite or OTA signals except one Spanish channel. AT&T and Verizon work well. Bring bug spray! - Keeping up with the Joneses

Reservation help was excellent. We got in after dark, site #7 took 25 tries to back in, then got help from a retired trucker. Took her 15 tries and we aren't in straight. 34 ft Fifth wheel and F350. The park is beautiful wooded New Jersey hills. Very scenic. Electricity is fine with 50 amp service. Water hoses are provided on this site as the connection is about 100 feet away, and is in the middle of the woods, very odd setup. Others have water on their site near the street, but requires extra hoses. There is no sewer, but there is a dump station. This is a small park with only 19 sites, none are perfectly level, but most are easy to adjust for. Overall a very nice place, but the water and site 7 issue made it difficult for us. Water connections are difficult to find. Will need extra hose. - BWolfAR

If you are wondering why you cannot find any reviews on this "worst campground" in the USA, read on. This was our first time in the New Jersey area. Since we live out of state, we searched for hours online to find an rv park within reasonable proximity to the New York City area. We did a Google search and found Sun Air Campground. We phoned the owner to ask if he could accommodate a large motorhome, if it was easy to get to New York City by mass transit and what amenities they had. I was led to believe that everything was fine; no sewer, but good electric and water hookups, a dump station and fishing just steps away with a nice view of the lake. We believed we would be staying in a nice country setting with good access and modern amenities. So here is what we saw upon arriving in town. Without a GPS we never would have found this place. No directions were given on the website. When we turned onto Cozy Lake Rd, it was a very narrow road in a residential neighborhood with low overhanging trees. There were no signs along the road to provide direction until we finally came upon a small weathered sign nailed to a tree by a driveway. This was our first clue. The driveway entrance was rutted and rocky with pot holes, heavily wooded and very narrow. We pulled into a turn around area and straight ahead was a rundown modular residence with a little sign "Office" above the door. I knocked on the door (9:15 am) - no answer. My wife and I walked down the road into the campground only to be met by a vicious barking boxer, luckily on a chain in front of what looked to be a permanent trailer residence. The available sites were uneven, difficult to get into and covered in leaves and tree limbs. All occupied spots looked like permanent residents. We immediately decided this campground would not even rate a negative one star rating. There is a reason why there are no photos of the campground on the website. Cut-out areas in a heavily wooded area does not make a decent rv campground. We knew we were taking a chance on this place with so little information online, but we thought we'd check it out. Couldn't see any satellite images on Google maps because the area is so overgrown and the buildings are trashy and in horrible shape. In our 20+ years of motorhome travels, this is truly the worst place we have ever seen. Needless to say we drove on down the road. - cal corvette

Family owned, people are nice. Gravel roads that are not maintained, gravel sites, ours was not level even with the use of leveling blocks. We parked by the lake, which was full of algae. There had been a boat dock at one time, now the area is roped off with "do not enter" signs. There is only one bath house for showers that is in very poor condition. You have to pay to use the shower. There is another bathroom that is in even worse condition. Neither were clean. There is a dump station, but no sewer hook up. The majority of the sites are seasonal renters in run down trailers. This place only takes cash. - esta34950

This the third year coming to this very nice campground. Beautiful location with large level shaded full hookup sites. Entire facility is very well kept with spotless restrooms and very nice heated pool. The best thing about this campground is the wonderful staff - very friendly and accommodating. Already booking our 2020 visits. - SteveL

We chose this for our maiden voyage of our camper. This may be the best campground in New Jersey. The staff is very helpful and polite. Our site in the H loop was tough to get into due to it being on a downhill slope. We couldn't reach our site's electric panel, so we called up the office and they brought over an extension cord. You get the impression that they really care about their guests. The sites are clean and well maintained. It was quiet. There is a lot to do at the campground. The weekend that we were there, they had a Alice in Wonderland theme. One thing I liked were free kayak rentals. I had never kayaked before and this was a great way to try it. The pool was clean and a lifeguard was on duty. The restrooms were clean. The reason that I didn't give it a 10 is that the interior roads are narrow. It was a challenge moving around, even towing a small 17 foot camper. In spite of that, will be back. - bwco

The entrance to get in is only wide enough for 1 vehicle never mind 2 trucks pulling campers. The interior roads are a shambles, potholes, ruts and steep hills and super narrow. The electrical system is outdated with only 30 amp. The voltage was fluctuating the entire length of my stay. I had to shut down the pwr management system so the power would stay on. The water was on one side of the site and the electrical on the other. The cable TV wire was up in a tree and I had to search for it. The sites were a nice size but need serious amounts of gravel to level them out. We would not go back to this campground. - jambro

We called the ranger from the Interstate and were able to get space for our larger rig near the end of the day. We were warned that we would just be in a parking lot, basically. there is no potable water in the park, no hookups, just parked between lines, for space 1, in the parking lot, which we found unusual. The park was quiet at night, also we noticed the lake, which was hard to see from our location, was down in water level as well.
we used the dump station on the way out in the morning. Also, roads to the park are paved but fairly uneven asphalt. Don't go into the area needing fuel, as there are only two choices, and the main road has a huge concrete New Jersey barrier running up and down the highway, which necessitates doing huge and dangerous U-turns with a rig. We finally had to unhook, just to get into a place. We wouldn't go back to the park again, unless a real emergency for a place to stay. We listed the site satisfactory only because we have no problem dry camping and with the threat of rain, we thought it would be ok to park on pavement. - Mexicanpiloto

Stayed before the weekend, reservation website will show available sites but must reserve at least two nights in order to book plus Reserve America reservation fee. Weekend most sites were reserved, mixture of grass field and reservoir/lakeside sites. Main roads are paved, roads in campground are gravelly as are the campground parking sites. Sandy beach is a distance walk from campground which make the sites more private. Bathhouses are older and have individual toilet and separate shower units. Most sites are level and well spaced, low hanging tree branches make some campsite roads difficult to maneuver with bigger rigs. No hook-ups but good dump station and water connection by campground entrance. - travelin' guy

A beautiful park on the Spruce Run Reservoir. The condition of the restrooms were the main reason I could not rate the park as a 10. The facilities are quite worn and, although they were cleaned daily, weekend use was overwhelming and by Saturday night things were pretty grungy. There were 5 stalls and 3 showers (one of each wheelchair accessible)in each of the two bathroom buildings, but one of the buildings had only one shower in use, and one of the men's showers ran cold water only. Weekdays the campground was almost empty. It is primarily a popular weekend place for extended families who are tent-camping; definitely great for kids with the lake, a beach, boat rentals and playgrounds. Our spot was tight for a 32' Fifth-wheel due to overhanging trees. (There is lots of space between sites.)If you have a rig this large the following sites will accommodate you: 7, 8, 9, 16, 17, 21, 24, 33, 39, 61, 67, 70. Note: The park day-use area allows pets, but the campground does not. - Horizons28

There are not many sites for an RV. Ours is 28' with no slideouts. I would say 30' would be the limit. We had site #26. The only other sites we would have considered are #28 and #20. You had to back 100' up a slight hill. If you are not good at maneuvering your camper this place is not for you. There are some inclines to haul up also. The privacy is great and the views on top of the mountain are awesome also. Staff was very friendly and helpful. - Jodee

We love the way the restrooms are set up with a huge dish-washing area in between the mens/ladies facilities. Please note that a LOT of Ash trees have been taken down due to the beetle problem so some sites are a bit muddy from the big vehicles going in and out. The view of the lake from our campsite and the quiet woods in the early spring are so nice we always go there for our first trip of the season. Buy firewood at the front entrance. Do not bring in outside firewood! - RzRzRzR

Great State park campground, with a beautiful lake for fishing and swimming. The public use beach is a short walk from the campground, is very nice, equipped with lifeguards, has playgrounds, bathrooms with showers, and a snack bar. The park is clean and pristine. The rangers were friendly and helpful. Education programs are held for free throughout the summer. - Mobeggert

When we pulled up, we were taken aback, because it looked like a trailer sale lot. Figured since we were here for two nights, it wouldn't be an issue. Very friendly in the office! The woman in the office wrote all the train schedules for NY for us. We drove through, and found our spot. Looked like some long term residents. Very quiet. - StephanieBekker

We stayed for two nights in early December of 2016. It was one of only four campgrounds open year round within a one hour drive of Lehigh Valley, PA. It was quiet and not very busy. You could tell it was hunting season from the dear hanging from the swing set. The roads are gravel and have some potholes that are avoidable for the most part. There were a lot of trees, but we were able to get our 40' 5th wheel parked without a problem. There was a play area and it also had a pool. It was closed for the winter, so we cannot comment on the pool. There are dumpsters on site. There are no sewer connections at the campsites, but there is a centrally located, back-in dump station. They also offer Propane for purchase. Others have posted reviews on other sites stating that it was confusing because you drove through a "utility lot" (which you do), but the campground gives you a map and it is easy to find your spot with the map they provide when you check in. We would stay here again off season. We were grateful they were open in early December and we gave it a chance, even with the other reviews. We did not use the restrooms, so we cannot comment on them. They are pet-friendly as we have indoor cats and a neighbor had a dog. - QueenBeeQT

All previous comments were on target. We needed a place for the evening. Park in back of trailer sales company. Roads are in horrible shape. Person at desk told us to pick out any we wanted. Took 3 attempts to find one to use. Roads are very rutty and windy. Many old campers parked throughout the campground. Could not find a restroom. Water pressure was low and ware had a bad smell. - JOHNGW

In June 2002, M.R., an incapacitated Israeli man from Migdal Haemek, traveled to the city of Kolomyya, in Ukraine. There he met a widow of 45 and offered her a job working for him in Israel. She accepted, he sent her a plane ticket and she arrived in the country. Her work was to look after him and his mother − he uses a wheelchair, she is elderly − including bathing them and changing diapers. She also had to clean the house, do the laundry and cook.So much for the individual case.
"When I started the job, M.R. told me that I had to work a year without pay to repay the many expenses he had in bringing me to Israel," the women said in a statement that she made on April 2 to attorney Anat Gonen from Kav La'oved, the Workers Hotline for the Protection of Worker's Rights. Thus, during her first year of employment, she received no salary, apart from NIS 100-200 that the handicapped man's mother gave her occasionally. "In addition, I was allowed to go out twice a week for a few hours in order to work at cleaning, and the money I earned [from that work] I sent to my family in Ukraine."
At the end of the year, the woman asked M.R. to start paying her. However, he told her he was in the midst of a lawsuit against his insurance company and that after he won, he would receive a great deal of money and would pay her retroactively. "Because he made it clear to me that if I stopped working for him I would have to go back to Ukraine, I agreed, having no choice but to go on working without getting a salary," she explained in her statement.
Now look at the general problem.According to a study by the American Civil Liberties Union in Berkeley, California, trafficking for purposes of slavery in households is in second place in terms of the number of people involved, after trafficking for prostitution. After identifying the problem several years ago, the United States enacted legislation to combat it. Until 2004, indictments were handed down against 77 people for coercive employment or commerce in human beings. Convictions were obtained in most of the cases. In 2002, for example, a California court sentenced the common-law wife of the Thai ambassador to Sweden to eight years in prison for having brought with her to the United States a household worker, whose passport she confiscated, then forcing her to work 20 hours a day, six days a week.It's a long article and it ought to be read in full as there are parliamentarians on the case to protect Israel from the disapprobation and sanctions it deserves. Which just goes to show that Israel is susceptible to pressure.
However, as befits the world's sheriff, the United States has taken the matter beyond the domestic sphere. In an attempt to eradicate the phenomenon throughout the world, the State Department publishes an annual report that ranks the efforts made by the world's countries to combat human trafficking. Since 2003 the report has referred not only to trafficking for prostitution, but also for bondage. To meet the minimal standards set by the United States for this report, a country must investigate, bring to justice and convict such traffickers and also take preventive measures against the phenomenon, including public education.
Not doing enough
Israel, the United States maintains, is not doing enough to combat the phenomenon. After being at the lowest level for one year − i.e., being listed as one of the countries that is not doing anything at all to eradicate human trafficking − Israel has, since 2002, been upgraded to the Tier 2 level of countries that are taking action against it, but not enough. Last year, the report added a "watch list," referring to countries that are about to be downgraded. In September 2005, Gershuni met with representatives of the State Department ahead of the publication of the annual "Trafficking in Persons Report" available at www.state.gov/g/tip/rls/tiprpt/2005/
