Building a viable nest egg is only one component of a successful retirement income strategy. Your plan for capitalizing on those assets and using them to sustain your new lifestyle is equally critical. Our team leverages the power of dynamic portfolio design and in-depth planning to provide clients with a seamless, successful transition into retirement.
At the outset, we spend ample time helping our clients visualize their ideal retirement lifestyle, analyze their situation and stress-test those findings to develop a solid long-term strategy. When constructing our final recommendations, we focus on providing our clients with the stability and financial strength they need to achieve their post-working goals, without risking their futures.
Thriving in retirement means different things to different people. For some, it is a time to relax and unwind. For others, it's a time to travel and pursue new interests. Either way, preserving wealth and creating a sustainable income are likely two of the highest priorities for any retiree, as well as staying in one's home as long as possible and leaving the legacy that was always envisioned.
Your life in retirement takes as much planning as your life did before retirement—maybe even more.

As well as our tailor-made journeys, TransIndus offers a programme of small group tours to a growing list of Asian destinations. If you're a sociable person who enjoys making new friends as well as experiencing new places and ways of life, this kind of trip could well be the way to go.
Our clients are drawn from a broad span of age ranges and backgrounds. Some travel as part of a couple, or with a family member; others solo. They all, however, value the sense of conviviality that comes with travelling as part of a group – swapping stories, impressions and photos at meal times, and enjoying stimulating conversation with like-minded people while on the road.
The Upside of travelling with a group:
Lower costs: small group travel is more easily affordable. Because we block-book the accommodation and vehicles we use a year or more in advance, we're able to offer our trips at a generous discount.
Flexibility: on a TransIndus group tour, you are never obliged to join in the day's planned excursions or activities, and can explore alone and at your own pace, or simply laze back at the hotel, if you prefer.
Escorted travel: all of our trips are accompanied by a qualified tour leader, usually drawn from the country you're travelling in, who will be available to you 24/7, from arrival at the airport to your time of departure, to make sure everything runs smoothly, help you interpret your experiences and communicate with local people.
Small groups: we maintain a maximum group size of 16, which means you never have to travel in one of those large parties trailing behind a guide waving a flag!
Expert local guides: we recruit knowledgeable, trained, English-speaking guides to show our groups around historic sites, museums and monuments.
Comfortable accommodation: we personally check the quality of all the hotels and guest houses we use on our group tours to ensure they meet an acceptable standard. While the categories may vary between places, we always choose the best accommodation available in any given place in order to offer exceptional value for money.
Good food: we know from experience what a difference a decent meal makes to a day's travel, and go to great lengths to ensure our groups are served high-quality cuisine. Breakfast and some lunches and dinners are included in the tour price.
Quality vehicles: whether a short ride across town or a full day's drive, overland travel on our group tours is always comfortable. We only use new vehicles that are air-conditioned, clean and well maintained.
Scheduled flights: our tours are planned without international flights, giving you the flexibility to choose your preferred airline, departure airport and cabin class. However, if you would like us to organise your flights we would be happy to do so, and we will only use reputable airlines.

School Administration
Mr. Leslie believes that there are few things more important than providing young people with a strong foundation that prepares them to scholastically and spiritually succeed. In 8th grade, his parents "forced" him to attend a Christian school and it changed him for the better. The caring teachers and consistent Christian message led him away from destructive behaviors and into a life dedicated to following Christ. Beyond just offering strong college prep academics, he believes that Christian schools help students see the world through the lens of God's love, while helping them internalize Godly wisdom and Christian character.
Prior to joining the Rock Academy as Head of Schools, Chuck Leslie served as the Superintendent of Christian Unified Schools in El Cajon, and before that the Director of Development at Santa Fe Christian Schools in Solana Beach. He has 24 years of Christian school administrative experience including a consulting practice that has provided strategic planning services to a variety of schools and other non-profits around the country.
Married to Carolyn since 1989, the couple has four sons who have all graduated from Christian schools. He received a B.A. in Political Science with Honors of High Distinction from the University of California, San Diego, and his Masters in Educational Leadership from Concordia University. He also received a Van Lunen Fellowship in Executive Management in Christian Schools from Calvin College.
Bachelor's and Master's Degrees from California State University,
Coursework Complete Doctorate in English at Claremont Graduate University.
Michelle has been serving in education for 24 years, beginning as a teacher of English and literature at Foothill Country Day School in Claremont, one of the top private college prep schools in the country. Having the desire to integrate her faith into the classroom, she moved to Santa Fe Christian Schools in Solana Beach in 1994. There she chaired the English Department and taught Advance Placement English Literature before invited to take on an administrative role. For the past 5 years she has served as the Middle School Assistant Principal while also overseeing K – 12 Professional Development. In 2015, she led Santa Fe Christian Middle School's successful effort to become a National Blue Ribbon School.
While Mrs. Glenn's academic and administrative experience is vast and impressive, what attracted us most is her love for the Lord and desire to serve students. She believes in integrating God's truth into all subject matters and developing students' hearts for serving the Lord and others. Her passion is to serve all students with excellence; those who are academically gifted and those who may struggle in the classroom, but shine in other ways. Michelle is married to Brian, who has served as a U.S. Navy SEAL for the past 28 years. They live in the Clairemont area.
Emilie was raised in a God-loving family in Montreal, Canada. She had the privilege of attending a Christian school where she discovered at the young age of 7 that she wanted to be a teacher. She fondly remembers the times in her life when she would ask her father a million questions about God. Through the years, God continued to reveal Himself to her through life-changing mission trips to Europe and Guatemala. It was there she discovered first-hand that living her life for God was indeed the most exciting life she could ever hope for.
After teaching in public schools in her hometown, Emilie felt that God was preparing her for new opportunities. She decided to step out in faith, and she moved to beautiful San Diego in July 2008. Since then, she has been amazed at God's faithfulness on a daily basis and feels incredibly blessed to have joined a great team at the Rock Academy. Emilie was the 5thgrade teacher at The Rock Academy for 5 years before becoming the Elementary Principal. Each year she looks forward to partnering with families and staff in growing God's kingdom through Christian education. Her favorite part of her profession is the freedom she has to share her passion and enthusiasm for learning and to inspire students to pursue God's perfect plan for their lives.
"Do not lose the courage you had in the past, which has a great reward. You must hold on, so you can do what God wants and receive what He has promised." Hebrews 10:35
Gayl was born and raised in San Diego. She has always had a love for working with children. She began working in the church nursery when she was eleven and was involved with children and youth ministries ever since. Her love for working with children led her and a friend to begin an after school childcare center servicing schools in the Bay Park area. Many students in their child care center struggled academically so Gayl and her friend felt God's calling to begin a home-school tutoring program. In this program students were able to use the world as their classroom and participate in project based learning.This hands-on approach of learning helped many struggling students to achieve greater academic achievement. During this 20-year adventure, Mrs. Boyett taught various subjects to grades 1 - 7.
After teaching for so many years in a small private setting, Gayl pursued her credential from San Diego Christian College. After getting her credential, she has been amazed at how God opened the doors for her to work at the Rock Academy and feels confident that this is exactly the place she should be. She looks forward to getting to know her students and their families each year and inspiring them to learn and grow both academically and spiritually.
Understanding that God designed us to live in community, Lauren Falconer believes in building strong community around our children, guiding them with love and providing them an opportunity to be their best selves. In Christian Education, children are lead by teachers who love Jesus and their students; parents invest in the foundation of their children; and families journey together through life. This is why Lauren loves the Rock Academy, and seeks to share that Academy difference with potential families as well.
Before her current role as Director of Admissions, Lauren served as Spiritual Life Director, Student Life Director, and teacher of Bible, Leadership/ASB, History, and Science. Prior to the Rock, Lauren traveled as an AIDS/Poverty Educator and child sponsorship advocate for World Vision, speaking in churches, on college campuses, and at music festivals all over the world. She has founded and consulted for several small businesses, and was nominated for San Diego "mompreneur" of the year.
Derek and Lauren married in 2007 and together have two active little Warriors. She received her B.A. with Honors in History and a minor in Leadership from Chapman University. She also completed a thesis fellowship on Church history in Rome, and select courses at Bethel Seminary in San Diego.
Bachelor of Art - Social Science
Nick grew up in a very non-traditional "Christian" home. He was saved at the age of 8, but soon after he hated going to church. He played basketball all his life and ended up making it his idol, instead of his relationship with Christ. Nick transferred schools in his junior year to Christian High because he was told that he would get a college scholarship to play basketball. God then strategically placed people in his life that showed him what it meant to be a follower of Christ. Immediately basketball became number two.
As soon as Nick rededicated his life, he went on a mission trip to Honduras where he taught English to little kids. Right then and there he knew he wanted to become a teacher. He returned to school to get his degree so that he could influence many youths for Christ.
Nicks desire is to help students understand history from a Christian perspective, and help them grow spiritually. He has coached girls and boys basketball for 10 years now and he loves giving back to the youth of today. His ultimate goal is to point the students toward Christ and let God take care of the rest. Nick has been teaching for 13 years at the Rock Academy and has had an amazing time serving the children of God's people.
In his spare time Nick enjoys playing basketball and surfing.
For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many. Mark 10:45

Donna De la Torre is a native born Southern California girl. She grew up in the Nazarene Church but at the age of 16 had a life changing salvation experience. An Evangelist was speaking at a teen rally at the Long Beach Convention Center, to about 3000 young people. He spoke on Isaiah and challenged all who were there, who really wanted God to be in complete control of the rest of their life to stand up and shout, Here am I Lord send me! Well, being a shy somewhat quiet person that was a big challenge. But with the power of the Holy Spirit helping her, she stood and heard herself shout those words. In an instant everything changed. The sky looked brighter and the leaves on the trees rustled with purpose; she became aware of the lost-ness of the people around her and dedicated her life to making the most of every opportunity to share the gospel.
Donna has been on several short term mission projects to Mexico, Nicaragua, and Vanuatu. Vanuatu was another life changing experience. She has been working in Christian Education for the past 15 years. Donna has worn many hats including Interim Principal, Assistant Administrator, Summer Day Camp & Summer School Director, Athletic Director, ASCI Chairperson for Math Olympics and Spelling Bees, Emergency Preparedness Supervisor along with CPR/First Aid Trainer.
She has two adult children Ryan and Renee, and a wonderful daughter-in-law Daisy. Donna has two grandchildren, Noelle and Ronnie, who have her heart.
Donna has always been an adventurer. Skydiving, rock climbing, spelunking, rappelling into caves, white water river-rafting, skiing, jet skiing, scuba diving, paragliding, kayaking, and cave kayaking are some of the adventurous sports she has enjoyed.

"I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well." Psalm 139:14
Tammi was born and raised right here along the beaches of sunny San Diego! She grew up in a non- Christian home, but had strong Christian influences in her life, beginning at an early age. Her parents divorced when she was two years old, so while her single mom worked, she went to a home day care that was run by a strong Christian woman whose name was Lillie. Lillie guided Tammi and taught her about the Lord, taking her to weekly church services with her family and even leading her to Christ at the age of four years old. Lillie's family became a strong, life long, bond in Tammi's life, and she and her family are who kept her strong in her faith as a child and throughout her teen years. Tammi's mom remarried and she was adopted by her step father when she was ten. This blended family gave her three brothers, two older and one younger.
Tammi always loved theatre and music, even singing her first solo in church at the age of five! She attended San Diego Junior Theatre and enjoyed taking acting, voice and dance classes as well as performing in productions from the ages of eight to eighteen. In high school her major was musical theatre, but she changed it to early education in college. Tammi taught preschool for over twenty years, then began teaching kindergarten and first grade at a home school tutoring program for eight years. As much as she loved working with children in academics, her heart still loved the arts. So she began leading a Christian show choir and touring group based out of Mission Valley Christian Fellowship for kids, age eight to twelve. Once the students turned twelve, no one wanted to leave, so she added a teen group as well. Tammi led the two groups, known as King's Kids and Extreme Youth, for over seventeen years and was blessed to perform at venues all over San Diego, as well as Orange County. In 2007 she began teaching classes and directing, and musically directing, productions at Christian Youth Theatre. Her years at CYT led her to even more opportunities teaching weekly Chorus classes in different public schools, working with Girl Scouts, and led to a position teaching music classes at Mira Mesa Christian School. God's timing is perfect and He already had the Rock lined up for her, as she had musically directed Mary Poppins at the Rock last year with Mrs. Payne. She was excited when the door was opened for her to teach Performing Arts to Kinder through Sixth Grade at Rock Academy.
Tammi has been married to her awesome husband and best friend, Darren, for 27 years. They have four children, three boys and one girl. They're oldest son, Shane, works at Children's Hospital. Their next son, Kyler, is a singer at Legoland, and is a college student studying Theatre and Music. Their daughter, Danica, is an animal trainer at the Pet's Rule Show at Sea World and is also a college student. Their youngest son, Kaden, loves surfing and playing drums and is starting sixth grade here at the Rock Academy this year! Darren and Tammi are so excited for him to attend this incredible school!
Tammi loves to swim and paddle board and spends any free time she has at the beach!
Tammi is looking forward to getting to know your child and hopes to share her love of the arts with them!

Being from Northern California, he is a big fan of the Sacramento Kings, Oakland A's, and Oakland Raiders (Please don't hold that against him).
Darnell gave his life to the Lord when he was 16 while attending a Christian theatrical play. It was at there that he realized that being a nice guy isn't enough for eternal life, but that he needed Christ. From that day, Joshua 1:9 has always been a verse that he has held close to his heart. (Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.)
Darnell and his wife, Nicole, have two children, Quentin and Jayde, who are attending The Rock Academy. The Uhland household are big on unity as they all like the same sports teams.

She and her husband, Brian, then moved to Michigan where Brian completed a degree in law at Michigan State University. During their stint in the Midwest, Jenny continued teaching, and the Lord blessed the Zark family with their daughter, Allison Faith, and their son ,Hudson Robert. When Brian graduated from law school, he got offered a job at North Island Naval Base, so the family moved to San Diego in 2015. Jenny took a year away from teaching to stay home full-time with their then, 2 year old daughter and 4 month old son. However during the summer of 2016, through a number of amazing God-orchestrated events, Jenny was offered her dream teaching position at The Rock Academy.
She loves teaching, but more importantly, she loves students and has no doubt that she has been called to be a teacher and called to the Rock Academy. Her passions are the Lord, her family, teaching Truth, literature, writing, and Gator football and basketball. Hopefully in that order. Her favorite verse, and what she strives to model is Colossians 1:28-29
"He is the one we proclaim, admonishing and teaching everyone with all wisdom, so that we may present everyone fully mature in Christ. To this end I strenuously contend with all the energy Christ so powerfully works in me." Colossians 1:28-29

Melena was raised in a non-Christian home in Pasadena, California. Her parents decided to send her to a Christian elementary school because they thought it would be "safer." It was in the 2nd grade that Melena accepted the Lord as a result of hearing the salvation message during a school chapel. Melena's parents allowed her to choose where she attended junior and senior high school, so she followed her friends to the local Christian schools to get more exposure to the Christian faith. She started attending church during her senior year in high school, which was where she was introduced to Point Loma Nazarene University in San Diego. As she desired a college experience where she could grow both academically and spiritually, Melena both attended and then graduated from PLNU. Melena completed her teaching credential the summer after graduation.
Melena is grateful for her Christian education. She believes that if it weren't for her numerous teachers who helped shape and transform her over the years, she may not be who she is today. Her Christian education inspired her to become a teacher and has given her the desire to be what her teachers were for her when she was in school.
In May 2009, Melena was awarded San Diego Teacher of the Year, as well as the Southern California Runner-up Teacher of the Year by the California Air Force Association (CAFA). The award was presented to her by Mike Peters, Far West Region President and Brigadier General Eric W. Crabtree, Commander 4th Air Force, Air Force Reserve Command.

Stacy was raised in a Christian home in Temecula, California, where she accepted Christ into her heart at a very young age. With age and maturity Stacy's relationship with her Lord and Savior grew and guided her through high school and into college where she attended San Diego State University. In college Stacy discovered her passion to not only serve the Lord but also serve him through the study of Spanish. Stacy spent time abroad in Cuernavaca, Mexico, and Spain, Madrid, where she gained a love and understanding for the Spanish language and culture. She quickly decided that she wanted to use this love and passion to serve God as a teacher.
After college Stacy spent one year teaching Spanish and dance, and directing ASB at Linfield Christian School in Temecula. Once she had completed a year of teaching in Temecula she believed that God had called her back to San Diego to use her gifts and love for teaching to educate students at the Rock Academy.

Tammi was born and raised right here along the beaches of sunny San Diego! She grew up in a non- Christian home, but had strong Christian influences in her life, beginning at an early age. Her parents divorced when she was two years old, so while her single mom worked, she went to a home day care that was run by a strong Christian woman whose name was Lillie. Lillie guided Tammi and taught her about the Lord, taking her to weekly church services with her family and even leading her to Christ at the age of four years old. Lillie's family became a strong, life long, bond in Tammi's life, and she and her family are who kept her strong in her faith as a child and throughout her teen years. Tammi's mom remarried and she was adopted by her step father when she was ten. This blended family gave her three brothers, two older and one younger.
Tammi always loved theatre and music, even singing her first solo in church at the age of five! She attended San Diego Junior Theatre and enjoyed taking acting, voice and dance classes as well as performing in productions from the ages of eight to eighteen. In high school her major was musical theatre, but she changed it to early education in college. Tammi taught preschool for over twenty years, then began teaching kindergarten and first grade at a home school tutoring program for eight years. As much as she loved working with children in academics, her heart still loved the arts. So she began leading a Christian show choir and touring group based out of Mission Valley Christian Fellowship for kids, age eight to twelve. Once the students turned twelve, no one wanted to leave, so she added a teen group as well. Tammi led the two groups, known as King's Kids and Extreme Youth, for over seventeen years and was blessed to perform at venues all over San Diego, as well as Orange County. In 2007 she began teaching classes and directing, and musically directing, productions at Christian Youth Theatre. Her years at CYT led her to even more opportunities teaching weekly Chorus classes in different public schools, working with Girl Scouts, and led to a position teaching music classes at Mira Mesa Christian School. God's timing is perfect and He already had the Rock lined up for her, as she had musically directed Mary Poppins at the Rock last year with Mrs. Payne. She was excited when the door was opened for her to teach Performing Arts to Kinder through Sixth Grade at Rock Academy.
Tammi has been married to her awesome husband and best friend, Darren, for 27 years. They have four children, three boys and one girl. They're oldest son, Shane, works at Children's Hospital. Their next son, Kyler, is a singer at Legoland, and is a college student studying Theatre and Music. Their daughter, Danica, is an animal trainer at the Pet's Rule Show at Sea World and is also a college student. Their youngest son, Kaden, loves surfing and playing drums and is starting sixth grade here at the Rock Academy this year! Darren and Tammi are so excited for him to attend this incredible school!
Tammi loves to swim and paddle board and spends any free time she has at the beach!
Tammi is looking forward to getting to know your child and hopes to share her love of the arts with them!

Now ofcourse, such an exercise is moot. With the Ikea of Edmonton designing hijab uniforms (h/t: Abu Hurayrah), and women in saris (and a coat on the top) a common sight in banks and offices, the face of Toronto has changed drastically in the last few years. Whereas Stoney Creek was once known unofficially as Tony Creek due to the amount of Italians there, now people refer to Agincourt (Scarborough) as Asiancourt, Springdale (Brampton) as Singhdale, while Bramalea (Brampton) gets the nick of Bramladesh. When I started university on the Scarborough campus, our class size (for our program) was 500, with only about 30 desi people. When I finished, that class size was whittled down to 40 (less than 10% finished), and most of us were that same group of 30 desis that started. We are smart!
Recently I was walking home with a friend, and as we entered our subdivision, we saw a white lady going for a jog, with her dog. We stopped and stared.
"Look, it's a white woman," I exclaimed in surprise without even thinking. And then added the emphasis, "With A DOG!"
We both started to laugh. This was Canada. Just a short drive north, east or west of Toronto will show you how white this country is. It is to their credit that they have embraced multiculturalism and immigration the way they have. Kudos to Trudeau.
The browning of Toronto comes with a price though. One of my friend's working theory was that when you go to a fast-food-place-that-will-not-be-named (I'm loving it), you order drinks without the ice. He explained that the drink was cold anyways, and more ice meant less drinks. Typical desi
I don't get brown people who will not let their kids go skating or skiing because it is too dangerous (you could get hurt naa) or because it is not our sport. Which sport is not dangerous? You think having someone hurl a hunk of wood at you at 100 miles per hour (cricket) is not dangerous? And what exactly is our sport?
My theory is that one should try the local sports of the country you reside in (note: Formula 1 and NASCAR does not count). Isn't there some hadith stating all Muslims should be physically fit, and particularly boys should be good at sports? I know our Prophet (pbuh) was good at wrestling and archery, and encouraged boys to learn swimming (hardly a desert sport) and riding. Similarly, since one is now in Canada, desi people should not shy away from hockey, skating, skiing or curling.
I tried skating for the first time yesterday, and can offer the following tips:
1) Wear stretchable pants (for obvious reasons).
2) Stay away from friends who are better than you but want to give you a helping 'hand' ... by giving you a shove.
3) Again, don't trust friends who tell you to dress as if you are going skiing (it'll be cold on the ice yaar) so you put on ski gloves, triple layering and inners.
Jokes aside, it's a wonderful way to spend a few hours, and I soon got the hang of it (I never went rollerblading either, so was a complete beginner). Just like skiing, the more you practice the better you get at it, and it gets more fun.
It was a beautiful day.
Harbourfront Centre, downtown Toronto.
Yes, I can skate.

Furious client SLAMS Volkswagen
I bought a brand new vehicle from VW Claremont less than 2 years ago, POLO TSI 1.2 Trendline.
The past weekend, out of nowhere my car abandoned me,the car wouldn't go into gear. I had the car moved to Barons Bellville by VW road side assist which went smoothly, the trouble followed after.
Firstly, i couldn't even get a loan car out of them (VW CLAREMONT, where i bought the car), their excuse "Courtesy cars need to be booked 5 weeks in advance" as if I knew a brand new car I bought from them would break down 5 weeks in advance!
Secondly, main issue here, Barons Bellville gets back to me and says that even though the car is under warranty, I NEED TO FOOT THE BILL as it broke in a certain place and they cannot claim for it.
I am shocked at the after service and absolute lack of service over all to their clients.
A car i bought out of the box, breaks down to no fault of my own, full service history by Barons Bellville, less than 45 000km's on the clock and i need to foot the bill!!!
Unacceptable, I've been left carless and disgusted, I will not be footing this bill and VW WILL resolve this issue or they can fetch their car at Barons, because I for one do not want it!!

Last year I infused some vodka with rhubarb and it turned out so good that it was gone too quickly. In fact, I believe this was the fastest we went through an infusion ever. I've done everything from chili peppers and pineapple to coffee and vanilla, but the rhubarb is my favorite. This year, I decided to try it again and I let it go a little longer to see how the flavor intensified. It turns out that the flavor of rhubarb develops very quickly and after only one day you can see a its gorgeous pink tint and smell the effects. This time I let it sit over the long holiday weekend, and I think I have another winner!
Infusing vodka is about the easiest mixology adventure you can take, and a great way to get started thinking about the flavors you can achieve in a cocktail. To do rhubarb, simply slice the stalks lengthwise so they can easily fit into a bottle. Then, chop the strips into pieces just a couple inches long. It doesn't take much. Perhaps just two stalks cut in this manner is plenty to flavor a bottle of vodka. Drop the pieces into a clean bottle and fill it up with a decent vodka. There's no need to break the bank on this, but don't use the cheapest stuff either.
After a few days, it's ready to stop the process. Pour the contents through a fine mesh sieve or a coffee filter to get it nice and clean. You can put it right back in the bottle, or transfer it to something decorative. It's up to you, but I am guessing it won't much matter because it's not going to last very long!
Rhubarb vodka is pretty good all by itself, but you can make a lot of great cocktails too. Start with any recipe that uses vodka for a nice rhubarb twist. Or, start simple. You could try combining a couple ounces with a dash of lime juice, shake it with ice and strain into a cocktail glass—simple, but effective. Consider what you like to eat that has rhubarb to get some ideas. How about this: muddle a few strawberries with a pinch of cinnamon, a teaspoon or two of sugar (or simple syrup) and then add a couple ounces or more of the rhubarb vodka. Again, shake with ice, strain and serve up. It's like a strawberry rhubarb dessert in a glass!
Tonight I took my rhubarb vodka and made a Cherry Rhubarb Sour. It was fantastic:
Cherry Rhubarb Sour
2 ounces rhubarb-infused vodka
.75 ounce lemon juice
.5 ounce Luxardo Maraschino Liqueur
.25 ounce simple syrup (1:1)
.5 ounce egg white
Add all ingredients to a shaker and shake very hard without ice. Open the shaker, add 5 large ice cubes, reseal and shake until your arm is tired. Strain into a chilled cocktail glass. The best foam will appear at the end of the pour, so make sure you wait for that. Garnish with several drops of Angostura Bitters (or cherry bitter if you have some) on the top of the foam.
EDIT: For an alternative cocktail that is also excellent, give the Strawberry Barb a try. It's our go-to drink now whenever we have rhubarb vodka!

Sustainable Future
consider long-term impacts and evaluate policy decisions to ensure that they support a sustainable future...
Sustainability as it relates to development is a concept whereby actions that meet the needs of the present do not compromise the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.
Sustainable communities support a balance of economic, social and environmental resources.
Effective sustainable policies should address people's quality of life; a resilient economy; a healthy environment; and should ultimately reduce long-term maintenance and operational costs as they relate not only to provision of daily services, but as needed for disaster recovery.

As a native of Los Angeles, California, Cameron spent most of her life immersed in the entertainment industry. Upon graduating from Cornell University, majoring in Communications with a minor in film, she arrived back in Los Angeles, and began making strides within the industry. She began her career working in sales, where an epiphany 6 months in, solidified that she was creative. The next few years she worked closely with Melanie Sharee, head of the American Black Film Festival in Los Angeles, as her assistant. In 2009, she was asked by the Sundance Institute to move to Park City, Utah, as their coordinator, overseeing the Spectrum category, a collection of 22 films. Included in that category, was Spike Lee's Passing Strange, Benjamin Bratt's La Mission, and Ashley Judd's Helen.
In February of 2009 she joined the FOX Casting department in Los Angles. She is now a Manager of Casting and oversees the casting of The Mindy Project, Brooklyn 99, JJ Abrams's newest show Almost Human, Gang Related and Glee.
Speaker Series: July 2013
Cameron shared her personal journey with the African Artists' Association. She gave advice and encouragement on how to navigate the casting process from general meetings, to auditions, good resumes, and securing the role. She believes in self-actualization, vision boards, creating your own content and utilizing social media to market and promote projects.
When asked why she likes working in this business Cameron responded:
"I like to work at film festivals. I love working with actors…it takes tough skin to be creative. It's difficult to be open and vulnerable and asking do you like me or not."
She also pointed out that casting managers/directors/agents are always on the lookout for talent whether it is at the grocery store, the café, or shopping mall, plays, comedy shows and especially at film festivals, such as the LA film festival, or ABFF, which she strongly urges all to attend, saying "You never know who you are going to meet and where".
She emphasized that it's imperative to read the trades such as The Hollywood Reporter and Variety, study the craft and know who the casting directors are by doing your homework and verbalizing your vision. She believes it's important to have a team or agent who works hard and believes in you.
Cameron encourages directors/writers in the group to submit work and projects to film festivals such as Sundance and Cannes or ABFF because she believes "film festivals provide a platform for the voices that cannot be heard among the masses….it's so important to create your own content…put it on YouTube if you have to. Sundance has Labs and Producer Intensives during the summer that provide money and mentorship to take your work to the next level."
She repeatedly emphasized artists coming together to pool their talent to create a work of art. She says, "We are not floating islands. We all need each other." An example she mentioned was Fruitvale Station, the Grand Jury Prize winner at Sundance directed by Ryan Coogler, Produced by Forest Whitaker and starring Michael B. Jordan; as an example of a "trifecta of powerful men coming together on a independent film."
She strongly urges collaboration among artists to create web series that entice casting directors to watch and continue watching. She placed lots of emphasis on writer's breaking the mold cultivating their stories and doing something that hasn't been done. She says Fox wants "character driven material. We are in bed with smart comedy. We want intellectualized stories.. Write something smart. Do something unexpected."
She summarized by reminding the membership that producers are looking for "shiny and fresh" projects that look great with new ideas.

The Apocalypse could not have come at a more inconvenient time. It was the last five minutes of the big Man U versus Man City game, with City down by just a single point. When the ground ripped open, our plucky eleven continued on regardless, determined to equalise. There was no way they were going to end the last match in history on a loss.
You should have heard the cheers whenever they got near the posts - I mean, we fans have been pretty enthusiastic in the past (I'm thinking the big '94 game when we got close, only to lose it when it came down to penalties), but it was nothing compared to the roars heard tonight.
This was literally it. Whoever won this was the victor forever. As fire rained down and furies swooped, our men clinched a belter in the top corner. All they needed to do was tap another one in, and we'd be able to gloat in the afterlife for eternity. Nothing would stop them from pursuing that final point, not the spewing lava, not the sheets of thunder a mile wide, not even the Man U supporters singing that we were wankers. Our team was fearless.
And then it happened. Just as Lucifer himself appeared to pick off and pitchfork those in the cheap seats, Man U's Davison knocked it through the keeper's legs. The whistle blew. It was all over.
This is the worse day of my life.

Biography - Jim Wrenn
Jim is a proud descendant of 18th Century criminal exiles from England who swam to the Outer Banks when the British ship taking them to a Georgia penal colony sank in a storm near Cape Hatteras. Having the prescience to prevent their descendants from becoming "TarHeels," they immediately migrated to Virginia, where, within just a few generations they worked their way up into poverty. Jim's grandfather was the first in the family tree to see the distant horizons, but his career was cut short by severe injuries he sustained when a cousin cut down the tree.
After a brief stint in the Amry (ours) following graduation from law school, he began his legal career in the state bureaucracy but was never able to break into the federal bureaucracy. Several years later, he entered the private practice of law and co-founded a small law publishing company. Later, finding the publishing of small laws unstimulating and finding his private practice too private to be lucrative, he began writing political satire/commentary. His greatest vice is taking himself too seriously.
He wrote the definitive books on the Clinton Era Error: the Clinton Liebrary Book (pre-October, 2000), which he later updated as the Clinton Liebrary Book 2001 Edition to include Election 2000, the post-election shennanigans, and related events through August, 2001. The 2001 edition is the only known literary source that conclusively shows why Bill Clinton pardoned Susan McDougal but not Webster Hubbel. It also presciently contains the Billary/Hillary Dueling Memoirs. At every opportunity he shamelessly promotes his books for orders on-line or by fax at www.ClintonLiebraryBook.Com. He's also the Librarian at the Clinton Liebrary (www.ClintonLiebrary.Com), which owns exclusive rights to Bill Clinton's most famous speech as well as Bill Clinton's comments after revelation of the identity of Deep Throat in 2005.
As an amateur scientist as well as a scientific amateur, he de-bunks the man-is-causing-Global "Warming" theory, and predicts that by the middle of the 21st Century (when he will be safely dead) physicists will discover the obvious flaws in Einstein's Theory of Relativity, which will lead to vastly-faster-than-light travel through polarization of gravity. As a constitutional-law scholar, he's trying to teach those who hold a static, zero-sum-game view of economic and social theories to understand that "property" is not a "thing" but rather is a human right.
Although he regularly teaches Continuing Legal Education courses to lawyers, he's too-often available through he Rubber Chicken Speakers Bureau to speak on politics, satire, etc., at luncheons, dinners, root canals, funerals, etc. His speaking fees are so outrageously high they border on criminal price-gouging, but as a free-market advocate, he defends his fees on the higher moral ground of charging whatever the traffic will bear.

As North America heats up for summer, so does the activity of ticks, mosquitoes, and fleas, whose bites can carry diseases like Lyme, dengue and Zika, and plague. Between 2004 and 2016, more than 640,000 cases of these diseases were reported, and nine new germs spread by bites from infected mosquitoes and ticks were discovered or introduced in the US, according to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC).
May is Lyme Disease Awareness Month; people who become infected risk long-term problems with skin, heart, and joints–and brain. The disease can cause cognitive and memory impairment, headaches, neuropathic pain, facial palsies, encephalitis, and seizures.
Microbiologist and former Dana grantee Mark Wooten, at the University of Toledo, studies how the Lyme-triggering bacterium Borrelia burgdorferi, carried by ticks, interacts with the mammalian immune system. He credits growing up on a farm in Arkansas, in an area with a lot of ticks, with piquing his interest in Lyme disease, which was then a relatively new discovery. He talked with us last year about what makes this bacterium so tricky:
To infect an animal, B. burgdorferi has developed very unique methods, many of which we still don't understand. But those methods allow it to become almost invisible to the host animal's immune system. Its host animals are completely immunocompetent, meaning they have a perfectly normal immune response where the immune cells become activated soon after detecting the bacteria and go to the site of infection. Within a few days' time, they will also develop antibodies and do all of the things that would normally clear an infection. But these bacteria are not cleared and continue to persist out in the extracellular spaces where they should be exposed to these immune mediators. Somehow the bacterium is adapting in the host to become nearly invisible to the immune response—and that's what allows it to persist for so long.
He wanted to study this process more closely, which meant finding ways to watch it in action in living tissue. He and his colleagues have developed new methods of making the bacterium fluorescent and then tracking them through body spaces:
When we measured them, they moved around 100 times faster than any other immune cell type that we measured traveling through the skin tissue. And, unfortunately, something moving that fast is really hard to image. With an immune cell, you can take an entire z-stack of images with a confocal microscope to get a three-dimensional image of the cells in a tissue. And you can take one of those every three to five minutes, stitching them together to make a nice video that shows you how immune cells move. But this bacterium moves too fast. You try to get the z-stack images and combine them, but you end up with just one big bacterial blur, while the slower immune cells look fine. We've had to work out the best way to measure B. burgdorferi—and how to image it and still get accurate measurements of how fast it moves. This is an obstacle we are still dealing with. It takes a lot of time and patience.
Research such as this is sorely needed, as well as good public planning for stopping infections before they start. Wooten says:
Lyme is a very complex disease, because the bacteria want to be invisible. They want to get along so they can survive. And Lyme disease is our immune response refusing to ignore these bacteria—and trying to fight them off with an inflammatory response. And since it is the body's own response, it leaves us with a big problem. Often Lyme disease isn't diagnosed right away. It may not be diagnosed until you see some of the more advanced severe symptoms. You may be having this health issue—but are you going to connect it with a tick bite you probably don't remember even getting from 2-5 months ago and then tell your doctor about that? Probably not. So better diagnosis and diagnostics are a big public health issue. This is because if you wait until the severe symptoms have developed, even if you clear the bacteria with antibiotics, a lot of damage has already been done. Then the next question becomes how do we heal people who have suffered neurologic, or other damage, once we cure the infection? Unfortunately, many of these tissues do not heal quickly or may not heal completely at all.
What can we do? The CDC has many recommendations, including these we all can do:
- Use an Environmental Protection Agency-registered insect repellent.
- Wear long-sleeved shirts and long pants.
- Treat items, such as boots, pants, socks, and tents, with permethrin or buy permethrin-treated clothing and gear.
- Take steps to control ticks and fleas on pets.
- Find and remove ticks daily from family and pets.
- Take steps to control mosquitoes, ticks, and fleas inside and outside your home.
There's much more in our Q&A with Dr. Wooten, including what we're learning in general about inflammation and brain disorders and how gene-editing techniques like CRISPR could change this field.

* Russian assets sold off after new U.S. sanctions move
* U.S. ties, economic woes pressure Turkish markets
* Emerging equities eke out gains
By Claire Milhench
LONDON, Aug 9 (Reuters) - Russian assets tumbled on Thursday as a new U.S. sanctions move against Moscow unsettled investors, while rocky relations with Washington - along with unease about the economy - also sent Turkey's lira to another record low.
Washington's latest sanctions move - over what Moscow called far-fetched assertions it had deployed a nerve agent in Britain against a former Russian agent and his daughter - will cover national-security controlled goods, hitting Russian exports and even Aeroflot flights to Moscow.
The rouble fell around 1 percent to its lowest since August 2016, having already shed 3.3 percent - its biggest daily loss since April - on Wednesday. The Russian currency also hit its lowest since May against the euro.
Moscow's rouble share index fell 0.7 percent, and dollar-denominated equities tumbled 2.2 percent to April lows, with Aeroflot losing 7 percent.
Russian dollar bonds fell across the curve, with some issues down around 1.7 cents , while five-year credit default swaps rose to 154 bps, the highest since mid-June.
Broader Russian markets had already been falling amid heightened concern about another separate round of sanctions, including those owning Russian sovereign debt, being tabled by the U.S. Senate over alleged U.S. election meddling by Moscow.
"The probability that the bill will be passed and the new sovereign debt will be sanctioned is much higher than it was during similar discussions in early 2018," Vladimir Miklashevsky, senior economist at Danske Bank, said in a note.
If this legislation became law and Russia retaliated, Danske Bank estimated the rouble could hit 72 per dollar, as any major selloff of Russian local debt, local credit and stocks would amplify outflows from the currency, he said.
Turkish assets also continued to sell off hard with the lira down a further 2.8 percent, having fallen almost 7 percent so far this week.
Investors are concerned about a deterioration in relations between Turkey and the United States over Ankara's detention of American pastor Andrew Brunson, with talks in Washington on Wednesday delivering no breakthroughs.
Brunson was jailed for allegedly supporting a group that Ankara blames for an attempted coup in 2016. He denies the charge.
President Tayyip Erdogan's tightening grip on monetary policy has also unnerved investors, with the central bank unable to tame double-digit inflation.
"I am personally at a bit of a loss why anybody would want to own Turkey here," said Paul McNamara, investment director at GAM London Limited.
"You have the classic combination of excessive domestic borrowing, and an awful lot of money going into construction which leverages the banking system to asset prices and the whole thing underpinned with foreign currency debt."
Turkey's sovereign dollar bonds continued to slide, with some issues down over 1 cent, while Turkey's average bond yield spread over U.S. Treasuries rose to 462 bps, the highest since April 2009.
Weathering the twin sell offs, MSCI's benchmark emerging equities index rose 0.1 percent.
It was boosted by Chinese bourses bouncing amid talk of government support for domestic tech companies as Beijing's trade dispute with the U.S. escalates.
Chinese blue chips jumped 2.5 percent, the Shanghai Composite 1.9 percent and Hong Kong 0.9 percent. The yuan firmed 0.2 percent.
Chinese factory price inflation cooled in July amid a slowdown in economic growth, although economists expect tariffs to add to wider price pressures in coming months.
The Kazakh tenge fell 1.2 percent to a 30-month low, tracking the rouble lower.

Not the everyday type of song you'll hear from a Ghanaian artist, SquYb comes off with a new trap song titled, 'Obeleke' featuring, Talaat Yarky.
With production credit to Unkle Beatz of AMG, the song has more of a western feel where the artists show their uniqueness on it.
The diversity in what makes them more genuine and unique which will make them more acceptable in the industry. Sounding more foreign with an African vibe makes 'Obeleke' more enticing and every listener will definitely enjoy this song.

The market for automotive TPMS in North America is relatively larger than other regions. However, the APEC automotive TPMS market is expected to overtake and emerge as the leading market by the end of 2024.
Factors such as strict government regulations making TPMS mandatory in passenger cars, higher focus on enhancing fuel efficiency and rapid adoption of automotive safety technology are expected to drive the global market for automotive TPMS during the forecast period, said the report.
On the basis of vehicle type, passenger car is the leading segment of the market. In terms of value, the segment is projected to account for 79 percent share of the market by the end of 2016. Demand for automotive TPMS in passenger cars is more due to the higher sales of luxury cars.
Based on sales channel, aftermarket is anticipated to be the largest segment of the market during the forecast period. By 2016 end, the segment is expected to account for a significant share of the market. Moreover, shorter replacement cycle of direct TPMS and global increase in automobile count are projected to drive sales through the aftermarket, especially in Europe and North America where the use of TPMS system in passenger vehicles is mandatory.
Based on region, North America is the leading market for automotive TPMS and is projected to account revenue share of over 47 percent of the overall market by the end of 2016. Europe is expected to witness an overwhelming demand for automotive TPMS owing to stringent regulatory norms that make TPMS compulsory in passenger vehicles.
Key players operating in the global market for automotive TPMS include continental AG, Sensata Technologies, and Pacific Industrial.

Though cancelled by ABC, the beloved Ugly Betty will go out with a bang, featuring a cameo by designer Brian Reyes on Wednesday night.
The Colombian Reyes was a fan of the original series from his native country, upon which the ABC counterpart was based, and he has dressed the show's adorably star, America Ferrera in the past. Reyes' details on the episode were cryptic, sharing only that Betty and Brian meet up during Fashion Week, and that onion rings were involved in the scene - a combination that, sadly, would only exist in TV land of course. Note to fans of Reyes' designs -- his cameo is all it was, and he has no plans on switching careers at this juncture.
