Jenne of Arc: Legendary Fashion
"I bought some red tartan bondage trousers when I was 16. And I bought a stripper wig when I was 14. I had to buy it on layaway and pay few dollars at time – they were expensive back then!" And so begins the fabulous tale of magpie Jenne Osterhoudt, collector and founder of The Arc: an archive of incredible fashion gathered by Jenne on her adventures through 80s and 90s fashion legend.
Interview and Photography
All Clothing THE ARC ARCHIVE
Beauty Papers: What is the last beautiful thing you saw?
Jenne Osterhoudt: Yesterday, it was the BalletBoyz in their costume fittings for Glastonbury. Seven pretty ballet dancers styled by Nick Royal in pastel ostrich feathers with black chav trainers. I also saw my friend Sarah Harmarnee's photographs from Saut Hermes – the annual show jumping event put on by Hermes. It's the most beautiful horse show on the planet – the sheer magnificence of the venue and the incredible art direction of Hermes. They managed to create an otherworldly experience of equestrian chic. As an old and trusted friend she shared a work in progress with me.
BP: What is your first memory of glamour?
JO: Marilyn Monroe. Bob Mackie costumes on Cher, especially the floor length white feather headdress. Carol Burnette, All of Charlie's Angels, especially Farah Fawcett. All of my 1970s Barbie dolls which I still have. Olivia Newton John in the black satin trouser look by DVF in Grease. Diana Ross. Gloria Gaynor. Rick James. Sylvester and all the album covers of the disco stars. The first record I ever bought was the Village People! The Can't Stop the Music soundtrack, when I was 12. There were feathers and rhinestones involved…
I got this Vivienne Westwood corset in a little shop in the East Village in New York, when I lived there in the early 90s. I was a clubkid adopted into the scene by Michael Alig. We all dreamed of wearing the Westwood corset and her chunky platform high heels. It was the ultimate treasure. I later wore it on dates in Paris but I don't know if dudes appreciated it.
BP: And what was the touch paper that ignited your appetite for fashion?
JO: The 1980s films Dangerous Liaisons and Amadeus. I just wanted to move to Paris and wear 18th century costumes in the street and have a little French dog in a pink Chanel suit! I wanted to be a costume designer, but then I snuck into the 1993 John Galliano Pirate Show at The Salle Wagram, and it was as great as costumes, but it was actual clothing. So I thought it would be the best of both worlds to work for him.
BP: What was the first look you pulled together as a teenager?
JO: There were so many… Trip Dagger pants, a green velvet Teddy Boy coat, brothel creepers and crimped goth hair. Colourful pastel petticoats under vintage 50s black and white 'New Look' dresses with a neon yellow rubber double belt and purple pointy velvet smoking slippers – very Cyndi Lauper! MC Hammer pants – before MC Hammer ruined them – with a grave digger tail coat and Chinese shoes from Mission Street.
"I just wanted to move to Paris and wear 18th century costumes in the street and have a little French dog in a pink Chanel suit! I wanted to be a costume designer, but then I snuck into the 1993 John Galliano Pirate Show at The Salle Wagram, and it was as great as costumes, but it was actual clothing."
BP: And the hair and makeup?
JO: I inherited a bag of 1960's make-up from my grandmother who sold Avon in Fresno, California. In it there was a treasured little black cake eyeliner that you could wet and paint on those 1950s Marilyn Monroe flick eyes – the ones we all do now. Also, we used to wear rice powder to be paler – more dead looking. It didn't really work and caused pimples [laughter.]
In 1984 I bleached not only my own hair, but also my 12 year old sister's. I got in big trouble. I also bleached my Japanese-Italian cousin's hair and REALLY got in trouble! Then with what was left of my hair I died it pink, blue, purple with Crazy Colour vegetable dye – that's all there was back then.
BP: What was the first piece of fashion you remember buying?
JO: I bought some red tartan bondage trousers when I was 16. And I bought a stripper wig when I was 14. I had to buy it on layaway and pay few dollars at time – they were expensive back then! In terms of designer pieces, I found an Alaïa Houpette Dress in a consignment shop in Soho for £50. I nearly had a heart attack and actually screamed in the shop at the finding of such a treasure.
Hilarious, this on the left is the outfit that I wore on an infamous first date. For some reason I thought it would impress this very normal guy to wear it along with all of the accessories from that McQueen pirate show. I had the skull scarf prototype, the skull scarf pirate bag and the horn heel shoes. I guess I was really proud of the accessories I had developed for that show. I am still really proud of the skull scarf and happy that it was a commercial success for the house. This suit was my clothing allowance for that season.
On the right, this is the Lavender 20 foot long frock coat from Galliano's first ever Haute Couture show for Givenchy in 1996. We called the show The Princess and The Pea and this coat was worn by Vanessa Bellanger my beautiful friend and colleague, as the back drop for the whole show. She wore it sitting atop a pile of 15 giant mattresses and it hung down to the ground like a curtail behind the models walking the catwalk. I used to have it draped over my four poster bed in Paris.
BP: At what point did shopping turn into collecting?
JO: From day one, I saw every garment as a treasure. You had to be lucky to find hand made vintage because cool clothes didn't exist. There was no Lycra, no neon fabric, no striped tights, no access to clothes from London, no internet. It was so hard to acquire cool things – only quirky vintage and the odd rare import from London. I still have most of my clothes from since I was 15, in The Arc. Anything metallic was like a miracle. Candys clog high heels were coveted, and they made them in little girl sizes. I remember seeing the original gold disco platform wedges in 1979, in store windows and crying about wanting them and my mom yelling "NO!" My quirky neighbour had managed to find neon Green yarn and knit herself a cardigan and I thought that was the most amazing thing ever. I would stare at her with envy when I was 13 years old. I used to get beat up in school for staring at people but I was just taking in all the details.
This was such an emotional piece for me. I was in charge of getting all of the smocking done for this show, about 10 pieces. I had discovered a guy in Paris in the Sentier – the garment district – who made little girl dresses. I had to go knocking on doors to find him, as this was before the internet. He had this amazing smocking machine but had never made adult clothes before. We had to painstakingly spend days hand guiding the panels and pattern pieces row by row into the machine, loosening and tightening the tension to get the shaping in. Sometimes we would get half way through and the needles would skip a stitch and we would have to chuck it and start over. I was so desperate to get it done and not let John down.
BP: How did you set up The Arc?
JO: I had all the 1990s clothes in storage in Paris for 15 yrs. I left Paris in 2001 to move to London, to come work for McQueen. And it's where I have been ever since. I never knew anyone who could drive or who had a car so I had given up on getting It all to London. I was carrying a bag at a time over the years on the Eurostar, but hadn't really made a dent. Then on Tinder I found a cute Dutch boyfriend and he drove me and my clothes to London 5 years ago. That was the beginning of The Arc, but I had to find a nice showroom and it took a few years to find the beautiful place where we are now, in Hackney under the railway arches.
BP: Is there a manifesto?
JO: Yes, me and my business partner, stylist Nick Royal, must agree on everything that goes in The Arc. It has to be McQueen, Galliano, Givenchy by either of them or a few other designers like Vivienne Westwood, Alaïa, Chanel, Comme des Garcons, Gaultier. It has to feel like 90s Paris or London.
"I bought some red tartan bondage trousers when I was 16. And I bought a stripper wig when I was 14. I had to buy it on layaway and pay few dollars at time – they were expensive back then!"
BP: Are there any magic pieces you missed out on nabbing?
JO: Yes, I kick myself when I think of the private staff Givenchy Haute Couture sales I had access to and that I didn't buy more stuff at the time. I know I am lucky that I got what I got, but there were pieces available that were so amazing. I got as much as could afford at the time. That's where I got the gold ram's horns from McQueen's first Haute Couture show and the lavender 20-foot-long frock coat from Galliano's first Haute Couture show, among many other things.
BP: What outfit did you have the most amount of fun wearing?
JO: I remember going out all over Paris in the clothes! To Anahi restaurant double dating guys with my friend and colleague Catherine Brickhill, who was Lee's first assistant. I was wearing the massive zebra upside down coat by Galliano from the AW95 'snow show'. It was a tiny little restaurant with crammed seating and I could barely fit in there with the giant stiff coat. It weighed a ton. I used to wear most of the clothes to work or out to dinner. I would wear the Galliano '95 Poodle Jacket grocery shopping. I wore the Galliano frock coat on a date with DJ Moby on a date at Cafe Marly in the Louvre in 2000. He really liked that coat. At McQueen, I dated a Scottish guy and when he dumped me a year later he said "here's a tip, next time you go on a first date, maybe don't wear a Pirate coat with a Pirate skirt with Pirate shoes, a pirate scarf and a Pirate bag!"
'Le Papillon et la Fleur.' I loved this piece and ordered it for my clothing allowance. It has emotional value because nobody but me knew how to put it on as John showed me how and I was assigned to do it for all the buyers. It was a little stressful to get it right each time. I have also the first toile of this piece which was thrown in the garbage. I made a big show of taking it out of the trash even though John's assistant Stephen was mad at me for doing it. I saw it as a crime to throw Galliano toiles in the bin and I have rescued several them.

Ashcroft: No charges yet in anthrax probe
NEWARK, New Jersey (CNN) -- The investigation into last fall's anthrax attacks has yet "to cross a threshold" that would allow prosecutors to bring charges against anyone, Attorney General John Ashcroft said Thursday.
"When we arrive at that threshold, I will make an announcement to that effect," Ashcroft told reporters at a news conference with members of an anti-terrorism task force in Newark.
Ashcroft said the investigation has become more intense in recent weeks, but he refused to call Steven Hatfill -- a former federal scientist whose home has been searched as part of the investigation -- a suspect in the case.
Hatfill, has publicly acknowledged he is being investigated in the case but has maintained his innocence.
"Mr. Hatfill is a person of interest to the Department of Justice, and we continue the investigation. For me to comment further, it would be inappropriate," he said.
Ashcroft also refused to comment about accusations by Hatfill and his attorneys that the FBI has mistreated him. But the attorney general sought to assure the public that prosecutors are investigating the anthrax case diligently.
"The anthrax investigation is one like almost all investigations that involves breakthroughs and plateaus. Progress has been made. There is a sense of intensity in the investigation," he said.
"But frankly, the ultimate plateau that's necessary is for us to cross a threshold which provides a basis for prosecutable facts."
A mailbox in Princeton, New Jersey, has tested positive for anthrax, and authorities say last fall's anthrax-laced letters may have been mailed from that box. The letters, which authorities have said leaked "weaponized" anthrax, were postmarked in nearby Trenton.
Some business owners in Princeton have said FBI agents in recent weeks have been showing a picture to locals of a man who resembles Hatfill. Asked if the photograph being distributed in Princeton is Hatfill, Ashcroft said, "I did not see the photograph, and I'm not able to comment."
The anthrax-laced letters last fall were sent to offices of U.S. Sens. Tom Daschle, D-South Dakota, and Patrick Leahy, D-Vermont, and to TV network news offices in New York. Five people, including two postal employees in Washington, died of inhalation anthrax.
Other letters may have been sent to other places. Authorities still are unsure how three of those who died -- an elderly woman in Connecticut, a nurse in New York and a Florida employee of a national tabloid newspaper -- became infected.

Cardinals pound Royals, earn doubleheader split
The Cardinals hit four home runs to defeat the visiting Kansas City Royals 10-3 on Wednesday evening, giving St. Louis a split of a day-night doubleheader.
Marcell Ozuna and Kolten Wong each had three-run homers in the nightcap.
Both teams entered the two-game series having lost their past five series.
Adam Wainwright (4-4) picked up the win for St. Louis, but it wasn't easy. He gave up three runs on six hits and four walks in five innings. Wainwright struck out two and hit a batter.
The Royals won the first game 8-2 behind Brad Keller, who gave up two runs on two hits over seven-plus innings. Jorge Soler's three-run home run keyed a six-run third inning.
In the second game, Kansas City's Homer Bailey (4-5) allowed five runs on four hits and two walks in just 1 2/3 innings. He threw 66 pitches. Bailey is now 6-16 all-time against the Cardinals.
Ozuna hit a three-run home run in the first inning. The left fielder, who drove in both of the Cardinals' runs in the first game, capped a 12-pitch at-bat by sending Bailey's 94 mph fastball into the seats in right, his 14th home run of the season.
Wainwright stroked a one-out single in the second, and he scored on Matt Carpenter's sixth home run that just cleared the right field fence.
The Royals got a couple of runs back in the third. Whit Merrifield led off with a double and stole third, then scored on a single by Adalberto Mondesi, who became the seventh Royal to reach 40 RBIs before June 1. Soler singled home Mondesi for the second run.
Dozier then launched a 427-foot home run in the fifth to cut the deficit to 5-3.
In the sixth, Dexter Fowler greeted reliever Richard Lovelady with a home run into the Cardinals' bullpen on the first pitch he faced to give the Cards a 6-3 lead. Wong's home run was part of a four-run seventh.

Fulneck School, situated in the Fulneck Moravian Settlement in Pudsey, is the UK's leading inclusive independent day and boarding school for boys and girls aged 3-18.
They are holding an Open Day for prospective parents on Saturday, October 6th, between 9:30am and 12:30pm.
New Principal Paul Taylor said: "The annual Open Day is the perfect opportunity for parents considering independent education for their children to explore our wonderful school and meet the teaching staff. We very much look forward to showcasing all that Fulneck has to offer."
Fulneck is an independent day and boarding school for boys and girls aged 3-18. With 350 pupils it is large enough to offer an inspiring curriculum alongside abundant opportunities for sport, performance and creativity, yet small enough to ensure all pupils are known personally.
The value of each individual is emphasised by encouraging the development of intellectual, creative, physical and spiritual qualities. The result is successful young people who are happy, confident and ready to embrace the challenges and opportunities of life beyond Fulneck.
The latest examination results revealed 79 per cent of A level students achieved A*- C grades, with 52 per cent achieving A*- B grades or equivalent.
Meanwhile in this year's GCSE exams 86 per cent of students achieved A* – C grades in what are believed to the most rigorous exams for a generation.
For further information or to request a prospectus please contact the school on 0113 257 0235 or by email at email@example.com. Full details regarding the school are also available at www.fulneckschool.co.uk
Fulneck School also accepts private visits by prior arrangement.

In each episode of Gweek, Dean Putney and I invite a guest to join us in a discussion about recommended media, apps, and gadgets. Our guest this time was James Altucher. He's an entrepreneur, chess master, investor, and writer. I am a huge fan of his his writing, which he posts on on his blog.
Show Notes:
Dean Putney is now the co-host of Gweek! I'm excited that he'll be joining me each week to have conversations with our guests. In addition to being Boing Boing's software developer Dean is the author and publisher of a a book of his great-grandfather's World War I photos.
We talked about James's latest book called Choose Yourself! I read it over the holiday break, and found it to be a wonderful guidebook for a balanced life, with practical advice for a daily practice for achieving mental, physical, emotional, and spiritual health. The title comes from Jame's advice to avoid depending on large organizations to provide you with a living in exchange for work. Those days are over. Instead, you have to operate as a free agent, even if you are working for someone else. James has made a fortune and then lost it all more than once, and has experienced some pretty extreme highs and lows in his life. He's learned a lot from his experiences, and shares them in a way that is captivating and inspiring.
We also talked about Michael Wolff's 1998 book Burn Rate, which is about his attempt to take his Web 1.0 era business public, and how it failed spectacularly. The book is still fresh and valid today, even though the names of the companies are long forgotten: Magellan, Excite, @Home, etc. Wolff didn't bother spearing anyone's feelings, and wrote a very gossipy, juicy book that reveals some atrocious behavior of rich and powerful people. James said he enjoyed the book, but felt that Wolff expected too much of others, and was too bitter about his experience. Fair points!

With results beyond expectations, Connor Brown explains how UON pulled together its Larapinta Trail Challenge.
In August 2017 the University of Newcastle (UON) held its second peer-to-peer fundraising challenge, the Larapinta Trail Challenge. Twenty-seven volunteer Champions trekked more than 65 kilometres of the Larapinta Trail in Central Australia over five days, raising funds to support Indigenous students and research for Indigenous community health issues. Our generous volunteer trekkers – the key to our success – were drawn from UON's alumni, student, staff and local business communities.
The 2017 Larapinta Trail Challenge followed a successful fundraising challenge event in 2015 trekking the Great Wall of China. In embarking on these adventure fundraising challenges, our focus has been two-fold: to raise funds for causes central to UON's mission; and to leverage existing relationships with alumni, students, staff and business communities to increase community engagement and the visibility of the impact of philanthropy through the university.
This approach allows us to re-connect with lost alumni, increase philanthropic activity and build new and meaningful relationships with members of our extended community.
Our intent is to position and embed UON as a charitable organisation within the culture and mindset of our internal and extended communities. We found it important for us to manage fundraising support and donor communication in-house, to maximise opportunities to develop meaningful relationships with participants.
The Challenge was organised to support Indigenous students and research into Indigenous community health issues as part of the university's ongoing and deep commitment to excellence in Indigenous education, equity and social justice. UON is a proud leader in Indigenous education, has graduated one-third of the country's Indigenous doctors and has an Indigenous participation rate more than double the sector average in 2017 (3.6% compared to 1.7% nationally). In 2017 more than 1,000 Indigenous students were enrolled at UON.
We chose the Larapinta Trail after a thorough review of Australian treks to showcase our Indigenous advancement cause and UON's enduring commitment to equity and social justice for Indigenous Australians. A trekking and accommodation package was then customised to suit our needs.
Some of the many factors taken into account during planning included:
Itinerary Allowing trekkers to complete the challenge within a week, including travel time, was a key factor in recruiting busy and influential volunteer trekkers.
Group size Specific planning was required for a large group of 27 trekkers regarding accommodation, guide supervision and, most importantly, safety during treks. Multiple, flexible itineraries and contingency plans were prepared to suit varying levels of physical ability and mobility.
Logistics We engaged a third-party travel partner to organise accommodation and travel to and from the trek location for each Champion.
Health and safety We prepared and implemented a thorough risk assessment.
Stewardship We managed communications, engagement and fundraising in-house to ensure stewardship was appropriate for the trekkers and the cause from beginning to end.
Fundraising platform We developed and used an Everydayhero Heroix site as the fundraising platform and the focal point for peer-to-peer updates and fundraising communications.
After securing the university's Chief Operating Officer Nat McGregor, who is also a graduate of UON, as an Executive Champion in September 2016, key prospective Champions were identified and contacted personally by the UON team with an aim to have broad representation from university staff, students, alumni and the local business community. Champions committed to paying their own costs and raising a minimum of $3,500 each for the cause.
Champion travel brochures and initial communications were developed by November 2016, and Champion recruitment began in earnest in December. Fundraising began early in 2017 with only six confirmed participants, but more than 80 interested individuals. In hindsight, starting the recruitment of trekkers earlier, in the last quarter of 2016, would have been preferable.
With careful consideration and personalised approaches, we secured many influential Champions including two UON alumni who are also household names in their respective countries. John Doyle is an Australian actor, writer, radio presenter and comedian, and Dr William Tan is a Singaporean neuroscientist and physician, world record holder Paralympian, author and international motivational speaker. Acquiring celebrities as participants not only helped to recruit other volunteer trekkers, but also provided many additional opportunities including a greater range of media coverage and the ability to leverage their community standing and support to share our message with a broader audience. Having this calibre of celebrity also allowed us to successfully engage with both their extensive networks and university alumni in Sydney and Singapore with supported events held in both cities.
Champions with strong business networks were generally able to reach their fundraising goals early and their passion for the cause meant they were willing to increase their own targets and continue to fundraise for the duration of the challenge. Champions with fewer networks required multiple forms of community fundraising and more activities, such as raffles, barbecues etc to help reach their goals.
Both our China and Larapinta Challenge events have raised an overwhelming majority of funds through peer-to-peer email and social media contact between Champions and their networks rather than through event-based fundraising.
We supported Champions through these processes, encouraged sharing through social media and worked closely with them to compile their contact lists and produce personalised emails to direct donors to the Champion's own Everydayhero Heroix web page. Media such as television news, radio interviews and internal communications also served to inform the community and direct potential donors to fundraising pages. To maximise engagement and develop lasting relationships with stakeholders, donors and Champions continue to receive news and updates regarding the outcomes of the Challenge and where the funds raised are being directed.
With only six confirmed Champions at the end of January 2017, we would like to be timelier in the rollout of our 2019 Challenge. Ideally, we would like to see nine to 12 months of fundraising time available to all participants, as this was clearly required by some who did not have extensive personal networks. From a list of over 300 identified individuals and businesses, our Champions required multiple communication touchpoints and, in some instances, periods of up to two months before making a paid commitment to join the Challenge. Every person's situation and considerations were different. Some waited for family and work commitments to be confirmed in the New Year before a verbal commitment was made. Others made a verbal commitment but did not ultimately pay a deposit. We learned not to underestimate the time and commitment required to complete this recruitment phase. It is also very important during these recruitment activities to keep good records of prospective Champions' status and be ready to act quickly and follow-up every appropriate lead.
We found that group size makes a considerable difference to planning and delivery and should be considered carefully during initial planning for the endeavour.
Between 14 and 16 trekkers is more common for a group trekking activity such as this, allowing for good group communication between trekkers and two guides. A group of 27 trekkers allowed us to have a greater impact on our cause and reach many more people through our peer-to-peer fundraising, but this approach also posed many challenges and required greater resources to manage throughout. Each Champion added increased workload by requiring personalised engagement, fundraising, travel planning and preparation support.
Our initial goal of 30 trekkers was ultimately restricted to 27 by the limited availability of suitable accommodation, with many trekkers unexpectedly opting for single supplement accommodation. Two mini buses were required and many of the treks on the Larapinta Trail were required to be tackled as two separate groups to maintain appropriate health and safety practices. This made it difficult for the university's coordinator and trek representative to check-in with all trekkers every day, and perhaps reduced the camaraderie between members of the two groups.
With an initial fundraising target of $100,000, our Champions sought donations from family, friends, colleagues and business networks, many of whom were also UON alumni. In total, $150,612 was raised from 1,066 donations by over 950 donors, including 784 new donors to the university and 53 donations from eight countries outside of Australia. The final result was beyond all expectations, and the outcomes for Indigenous equity could not have been achieved without the dedication and amazing efforts of our Champions and their generous donors.
While donor numbers, funds raised, and funding outcomes have formed an important part of the Larapinta Trail Challenge's success, there were many more positive engagements, activities, events and outcomes planned and executed around the challenge event. We intentionally leveraged these opportunities to align with the strategic priorities of the university and its fundraising priorities. One particular fundraising event – "In Conversation with John Doyle and Jonathan Biggins" – was held in Sydney for Sydney-based UON alumni and organised in partnership with our alumni team and Larapinta trekker, John Doyle. Besides assisting John's fundraising efforts, the event network in a meaningful way and to re-engage with lost and previously unengaged UON alumni. This and other events also provided opportunity to profile UON's role as a leader in Indigenous education and the chance to communicate with the community regarding UON's achievements and opportunities for mutually beneficial engagement.
Now, as we continue to broaden our donor base and build an understanding of the impact of giving through UON, we are developing a stronger culture of philanthropy among our internal and external stakeholders. As key indicators of strategic success, we will measure longer-term donor retention and conversion to other forms of giving through the university.
Guided by UON's NeW Futures Strategic Plan 2016-2025, the disbursement of funds was informed by engagement with key Indigenous leaders, trekkers and university staff, research and scholarship groups, to ensure we directed the available funds to the very best causes. As a result, 100% of the $150,612 total raised is being disbursed as follows:
$60,000 for 15 Larapinta Trail Challenge Shaping Futures scholarships for Indigenous undergraduate students facing hardship (five will be awarded in each of March 2018, 2019 and 2020).
$30,000 for postgraduate research scholarships supporting future Indigenous leaders at the university. Three Larapinta Trail Challenge PhD Scholarships for Indigenous UON scholars to the value of $10,000 each were awarded in December 2017.
$60,612 to university research projects via an expressions of interest process for grants that address key health issues affecting Indigenous Australian communities. Successful projects were required to be aligned to the Healthy Lives and/or the Child Mortality priorities identified in the 2017 Prime Minister's Closing the Gap report and to UON's NeW Futures Strategic Plan. In December 2017, grants were awarded to the following two research projects: Improving foot health outcomes for Aboriginal Australians with diabetes – development and implementation of a prevention and diabetes education service to reduce the rates of diabetes-related foot complications (DRFC), including lower limb amputations, among Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities; and MAMAS' EMPOWER HEALTH APP (Mothers, Aunties, Maternal Aboriginal Smokefree – Exercise Mindful Pregnancy) – development of a culturally appropriate mobile phone app to promote social and emotional wellbeing, and prevent perinatal depression and anxiety, among pregnant Indigenous women.
Now with the opportunity to communicate with a broader network of engaged individuals, we look forward to sharing the measurable and direct outcomes of their generous support as they impact people's lives over the coming months and years. We will continue to develop our relationships with donors, look to make a positive impact in other areas that require philanthropic support and we will continue to position the university as a place where donors can make the greatest positive impact in our communities through philanthropy.
Plans are currently underway for another challenge in 2019. We look forward to taking our successes and many learnings from the Great Wall of China and the Larapinta Trail into our 2019 challenge to continue to build a strong culture of philanthropy at the University of Newcastle and among our communities. Stay tuned!

Smokehouse Fire half contained
A 400-acre brush fire, started the afternoon of July 7 near Whispering Ranch, was about 50 percent contained as of Monday morning, according to Arizona Department of Forestry and Fire Management Public Affairs Officer Tiffany Davila.
The Smokehouse Fire was started by a vehicle contacting dry vegetation in the area of 339th Avenue and Painted Wagon Road. The fire quickly spread in the desert wind with telltale smoke visible from Wickenburg and the West Valley. With the help of aircraft, firefighters were able to make headway by Sunday evening, Davila said.
About 130 firefighters from multiple agencies were working the fire on Monday. No structures or infrastructure were threatened, according to Davila.

Z Dome
The "Z" in Z Dome stands for Cora Zemlock who was a long time member of the MAS who donated the money for a mirror
which would become the Zemlock Telescope. This building was constructed to house
that scope. She later left a large endowment fund that has supported the MAS for many years.
The Zemlock reflector was the largest telescope on site. With a 26 inch mirror, it was built as an f/15, classical Cassegrain telescope with an equatorial fork mount. Located under a 22 foot diameter dome, this scope was computerized with high resolution encoders and motor drives which gave it "go to" capability via software. Briefly it was reconfigured in 2013 to be an f/3.4 prime focus CCD imager.
The building and the dome were built by members of the society under the management and leadership of Gerry Samolyk.
In 2015 it was replaced with a Celestron EdgeHD 14 telescope mounted on an Astrophysics GTO900 mount which sat on one of the forks. The imager is an SBIG model STT-8300. In 2018 the mount was upgraded to a GTO1600 and a bridge was built so it could be mounted in the center of the dome. This telescope is called the "G-Scope."
The telescope sits on the second floor and the first floor contains the club's office, library, and control rooms.

Why Your Heartburn Might Be LOW Stomach Acid, Not High Stomach Acid
Stomach acid gets a bad rap. The first thought that comes to most people's minds when you say "stomach acid" is the visual of heartburn and trying to get stomach acid to go away with Tums. But stomach acid is good for you, and it turns out that many people who get heart burn and have digestive issues actually don't have enough. I know… brain bender compared to what we're all used to thinking.
Hydrochloric acid, also known as HCL & stomach acid, is an often overlooked factor in digestive issues.
Low HCL can contribute to irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), small intestinal bowel overgrowth (SIBO), gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) & food allergies (1). It also contributes to vitamin & mineral deficiencies, which can cause osteoporosis and anemia, including B12 & iron deficiency (1). It is also essential for the breakdown and absorption of nutrients in food & protein breakdown (2).
However, the list of diseases and disorders associated with poor stomach acid output are extensive, and that's why it really matters for long-term health (3). Check it out.
I know what you're thinking. Why hasn't your doctor mentioned this to you? Good question. I discuss the issue below. But before I do, I want to mention, this is also why I believe everyone should have access to a dietitian. What we look for and focus on is not what doctors are looking for and focusing on.
We (doctors and dietitians) should be working together to give people the best care and health because we both know different things. Also, the more that people become aware that a lot of health care decisions are rooted in money and not truly on health, the more they will learn to be their own health advocate.
Think I'm exaggerating by telling you that most health conditions revolve around money and not health?
Let's start with GERD, the most common digestive disorder in the United States (4).
Heart burn, acid reflex, GERD and indigestion is a massive problem in the United States and is a $13 billion dollar industry.
In fact, $7 billion is spent each year on acid-suppressing drugs, which includes cimetidine (Tagamet HB), ranitidine (Zantac 75), famotidine (Pepcid AC) and nizatidine (Axid AR). And another $4 billion is spent on over the counter (OTC) antacids such as Tums, because people believe that too much stomach acid is their problem, but they are instead being sold a band-aid solution that is not addressing the root problem for many cases (granted, not all cases, some people really will have too much stomach acid (4).
Let's get specific: the symptoms of heartburn and GERD are caused by stomach acid refluxing into the esophagus. And these drugs and antacids absolutely reduce and eliminate the symptoms of heartburn from acid that is refluxing upwards. What's a MUST to understand in this conversation is that any amount of acid in the esophagus is going to cause problems and discomfort because the lining of the esophagus is very delicate and is not protected against acid, unlike the stomach.
The myth when you have heartburn it is only caused by too much stomach acid. There's another way acid makes it's way into your esophagus.
In fact, too little acid can allow food to sit in your stomach for too long, Once you chew your food, it's a race for your stomach acid to break it down before it starts to rot and putrefy. When you have too little acid, your food starts to ferment, which creates gaseous pressure that reverses the food and some stomach acid back up into your esophagus. This creates the same burning sensation we all associate with heart burn.
When you keep taking antacid drugs, they block your body's signal to send out stomach acid and decrease its abilities to create acid, which creates a negative spiral down toward less and less acid, while increasing your dependence on antacids! And meanwhile the root problem that began creating the low stomach acid isn't addressed.
For more than 100 years, people were prescribed HCL replacement therapy for many symptoms and clinical conditions (5). Before the 1920s, doctors were taught that bacteria and poor environment created a myriad of symptoms that were the result of insufficient stomach acid.
But guess what, "Encouraged by the legal drug industry, medical students are not taught that hypochlorhydria (inadequate stomach acid production) is treatable only with unpatentable, natural replacement therapies. Instead, their education concentrates on hyperchlorhydria (excess stomach acid production) and its treatment with patentable acid blocker drugs and highly profitable over-the-counter antacids." –Jonathan Wright, MD, The Digestive Theory of Aging (5)
Sad right? Many signs point to the fact that companies know the root problem in a lot of cases is not high stomach acid, but in fact low stomach acid, but they couldn't make money off it because the things that resolve low stomach acid are not patentable.
So what do you do about it? You take your power back into your own hands. First, start looking for the symptoms of poor stomach acid production.
That's a lot of symptoms! And many of them are - at their core - caused by poor nutrient absorption. That's because many vitamins and minerals are dependent on HCL to be absorbed, and if you have low stomach acid, these nutrients will not be absorbed optimally.
For example, if you have iron anemia, it may not resolve with supplementation due to low acid production. Because even though you are taking it, you are not ABSORBING it - not even the pill. This is also a root issue for why despite eating a "perfect & healthy" diet, you can become sick.
Health is about what you are absorbing, not just what you are eating.
Zinc (super important skin nutrient!)
This is one of the reasons a highly restrictive diet like the vegan diet can become very problematic for people and cause poor health. Besides being a low source for essential nutrients including vitamin B12, calcium, iron, and zinc, to add to the complexity, these nutrients are needed for HCL production, but will also NOT absorb well with low HCL. See how it can become a vicious cycle?
Some of my clients will come to me saying that meat doesn't make them feel well or that they bloat after eating it. Some of them have stopped eating meat or gone vegan. But this isn't necessarily the meat that is causing the distress, it can be a symptom of low stomach acid.
So if you stopped eating meat because it caused heartburn, you need to know that this potentially wasn't a long term fix to the initial problem, which can be low stomach acid. (6) You need to figure out why the low acid production started in the first place, rather than just removing foods that reveal the problem.
If you don't investigate the issue further, it could cause more serious health issues later down the road.
Does this mean that meat eaters are completely in the clear? No, because obviously low acid is caused by many things and shows up in many ways. However, meat eaters do seem to fair better because they are usually getting the needed nutrients more often without having to micromanage their dietary choices.
HCL is your body's #1 defense against disease-causing bacteria, viruses, pathogens and parasites. (6) Read that again slowly. Stomach acid is needed to protect you from harmful bugs/bacteria that can enter your system. If enough stomach acid is present, you'll be able to fight bacteria and parasites via the presence of HCL. However, if you do not have enough acid, they are able to survive and get into your small intestine and move to your large intestine because your defense system did not work. These bugs can then become nice and cozy and begin to create digestive disturbances, eventually leading to more chronic symptoms, many related to the skin. This is why it is not uncommon to see many skin conditions, be it acne, roseacea, dermatitis, eczema and even psoriasis start to happen in conjunction to gut symptoms including burping, bloating, gas, diarrhea, constipation, and cramping. In fact, according to this study, 40% of those with acne have hypochlorhydria (low stomach acid). (7)
One word. Stress. We know it's bad, but I think most of us underestimate just how far-reaching and detrimental its effects are on our bodies.
Stress can be physical (a poor nutritional diet, disease, running marathon, etc), emotional, or mental, stress disputes the efficient way our body was designed to function.
If you aren't relaxed, your body won't send or receive the signal to release HCL to digest your food properly. Eating in a stressed state (again, physically, mentally, or emotionally) sets you up for digestive issues and low stomach acid from the start.
Drinking large amounts of liquids while eating. I'm talking excessive amounts. I have clients worry that they shouldn't drink any water or liquids at all, but I haven't seen research that it truly helps.
Any antacids, drugs, or medication will reduce HCL and have the potential to damage good bacteria that supports digestion.
Getting insufficient amounts of protein.Limited protein changes your body's production of HCL. When you stop eating meat, your HCL production goes down, and you should know it makes it harder to start eating meat again if you choose to do so.
Getting too many starchy carbohydrates. Your body doesn't release HCL when you're eating starches, and if you're eating high amounts of starches with something like protein that needs the HCL to break down, it can cause digestive distress.
Our body's autonomic nervous system has two main signals. Sympathetic, aka fight or flight, which allows us to react quickly in an emergency state. This is the stressful state of the body. Your parasympathetic mode is the opposite; allowing the body to rest and digest. When consuming food we must be in a parasympathetic state in order to digest properly and for HCL to be secreted.
Is you're stressed, all of the long-term survival mechanisms that are not needed in that immediate moment take a back seat, such as reproductive function, digestion, hormone balancing, metabolism and detoxification. Your body will focus on only whatever it needs to do in that moment to keep you alive. Therefore, eating on the run is going to severely impact your ability to digest your food properly. Many of my clients found improvements with digestive symptoms simply by making time to stop, breathe, and eat mindfully. Heather will work with them to develop better breathing patterns and relaxation and mindfulness cues while eating. It makes a difference!
It is important to also know that stomach acid also triggers the peristaltic wave that moves food through the digestive system (what moves your stool through and is important for not being constipated), and releases pancreatic enzymes to further breakdown macronutrients & the absorption of micro-nutrients.
Again, its all connected, so if the start of digestion is "limited", the rest of the digestive process is "limited" and will absolutely result in issues.
Celery is a natural source of sodium, as I discuss in Critical Conversations podcast episodes 22 and 23, which is necessary for the body's production of hydrochloric acid (HCL). Which is one of the reasons why eating too little salt can cause health issues. (8)
Besides increasing the amount of hydrochloric acid in the body, celery also helps to increase bile acid secretion (which can help to lower cholesterol), but is important for digestion. (9, 10)
Celery is an old folk remedy for heartburn and the above reason is why. Remember, despite what you have been led to believe about heart burn, low stomach acid is more to blame than too much stomach acid for the common indigestion symptoms associated with heartburn (11), and celery helps reverse low stomach acid.
Note: If you have any history of ulcers or esophagus irritation, you MUST work with a practitioner to make sure you do not flare these issues.
Lemons contain necessary acids to balance an over alkaline environment.
Raw Apple Cider Vinegar.
Is an acid that can support the secretion of HCL.
To use: Take 1 tsp in 4-8oz of water 5-10 minutes before a meal.
Digestive Bitters:
These support digestive function by stimulating bitter receptors on the tongue, stomach, gallbladder and pancreas which promotes digestive juices such as stomach acid, bile and enzymes to breakdown food & absorb nutrients.
Take 1 tsp mixed in 4oz of water or as directed on bottle to stimulate your body's own HCL production.
Fermented Foods:
Besides promoting healthy gut bacteria, fermented foods have the ability to stimulate your body's own production of HCL.
It sounds simple, but increasing your HCL levels naturally using these methods can do wonders for your digestion and how you feel after eating!
There are several ways you can test your hydrochloric acid. I recommend checking out this fantastic article by Dr. Jockers for the directions on how to do this. NOTE: You should not do this test without medical supervision if you have any ulcers. You should also always have baking soda water ready (Add 1/4 t baking soda to 4-6 ounces of water) to drink when doing any of these home tests as this will neutralize any discomfort, if it arises.
One warning: Do not take HCL without medical supervision if you are taking any anti-inflammatory medications including corticosteroids, aspirin, indocin, ibuprofen (Motrin, Advil), or other NSAIDs. Taking these drugs with HCL may damage the GI lining and increase bleeding or cause an ulcer.
Thanks for reading this article. Remember to always ask questions, including the life-changing question of "How does this make me feel?" You can take your power back and create healing and vitality in your own body. You just have to be willing to make one small change at a time. - like focusing on ways to support HCL in your body.
You've got this!

Colour-coded school performance ratings revealed in Wales
Parents can find out how their children's schools have been rated with the results of a new colour-coded system revealed.
The 238 best performing schools have been rated green, while 81 schools have been rated "red" for needing the most improvement.
The education minister said there is "no hiding place" under the replacement for the controversial school banding.
But one teaching union said the change would "anger many schools".
The headline figures in the report show:
- Out of 1,332 primary schools assessed, 207 have been put in the green support category and 58 have been put in the red support category.
- Out of 211 secondary schools, 31 have been put in the green support category and 23 are in the red support category.
- Across Wales, 81 primary and secondary schools have been rated as "Red" in need of greatest improvement
- Across Wales, 446 primary and secondary schools have been given a rating of "Amber" in need of improvement
Education Minister Huw Lewis said it was time to "wake up" for anyone who did not think he was serious about raising standards.
'Hard work'
"My interest is in learners achieving their full potential, rather than vested interests in the system," he said.
Unions had criticised the banding system - which was introduced just over three years ago - as a failure and for being volatile, with schools able to leap from the lowest band five, to the highest band one, in only one year.
The decision to scrap them was made last September.
The Welsh government believe it will help both primary and secondary schools improve by judging them over a three year period rather than just one.
But the National Association of Head Teachers (NAHT) accused the minister of a lack of consultation and "unilaterally changing" the basic rules for judging standards in secondary schools at the last moment.
Acting NAHT Cymru director Dr Chris Howard said: "The new school categorisation system will anger many schools in Wales at a time when the minister should be recognising the hard work that's been done to raise standards.
"It will do nothing to encourage schools and teachers working with the most challenging communities."
The union said the new system was "very little better" than banding and it ensured half the schools in Wales would be classed as sub-standard even before a lesson had been taught.
They said it encouraged schools to exclude pupils with poor behaviour and low levels of academic achievement.
'No apology'
It is also concerned it "unfairly penalises" schools which have more pupils who are entitled to free school meals.
Dr Howard added: "The categorisation system was supposed to show which schools needed most help. It will not be seen that way. It will stigmatise schools and the professionals in them."
But Mr Lewis said: "Under this system, there is no hiding place for schools that don't deliver for the most disadvantaged pupils.
"We have deliberately set a high bar - I make no apology for that."
And he countered union criticism by saying that achievements by free school meal students were "simply not good enough".
He added: "Under the new system you don't get to call yourself a top performing school, unless the results of your poorest pupils reach a certain basic standard.
"If there are those who seriously want to argue with the basic fairness of that, then good luck to them."

Essay on working mothers vs stay-at-home mothers
would you have children? And I was, Who are you people? Global warming is one of the most serious issues that the world is facing today. But few want to admit how a class transition can challenge that role. Will modern technology such as the internet ever replace book or the written words as the main source of information? In some countries, governments are encouraging industries and businesses to move out of the cities and into regional areas. Once regarded as fringe, its now the dominant parenting mode among white, middle-class, educated women, says OReilly. Some people think that it is important to use leisure time for activities that develop the mind, such as reading and doing crossword puzzles, Discuss with examples. My mother like my friend from earlier worried she was losing her child to a world she didnt know how to navigate. Discussing maternal regret raises ethical dilemmas but is necessary, says Andrea OReilly, a professor at York Universitys School of Gender, Sexuality and Womens Studies and the author of 18 books on motherhood: I understand the protection of children, but if you completely enforce that you. But Klebold writes that she has no regretthough she blames herself for not seeing the signs.

Augustine Brown says shes candid with her children, telling them that being a mother is not the most important aspect of her life. Some people think placing advertisements in schools is a great resource for public schools that need additionally funding, but others think it exploits children by treating them as a captive audience for corporate sponsors. It is pointless to try and keep them alive. There is an increasing trend around the world to have a small family rather than a large family. Augustine Brown is more direct: Were angry, were fed up and were on the verge of something.

Aberdeen American News Article - 5/1/19
Wings players, staff rewarded for stellar season
by Rob Garofalo
Published in the Aberdeen American News on Wednesday, May 1, 2019
Considering the type of season in the midst of which the Aberdeen Wings are, it's easy to see how they were rewarded for their efforts.
The North American Hockey League announced its divisional awards Tuesday, and several members of the team were recipients.
After guiding the Wings to a franchise-best 47-10-2-1 record, including a program-high 97 points, Scott Langer was named the Central Division Coach of the Year. This is the second time in three years Langer has been named the coach of the year.
"To be honest with you, you don't win awards like this by yourself, it just doesn't happen," Langer said. "Obviously, it's a good feeling when you and your staff put in the type of work we did and it pays off with a season like this. To have your peers recognize you for that effort feels really good, but again, without the commitment by those players, this doesn't happen, and the guys in that locker room deserve a ton of credit."
In addition, Langer thanked team owner Greg Odde for the belief that the system Langer wanted to put in place would net the results this city of Aberdeen has seen over the past two-plus years.
"The Odde family has given me everything I need to be successful in Aberdeen," Langer said. "That's a big thing in the coaching fraternity, when owners have your back no matter what and are willing to invest in you. It's human nature to want your name on an award, but we know everything we accomplish happens because of the entire group. It's just a testament to the culture we're building here. We have a great thing going between this team and the fans, and I couldn't be happier for those players and the Odde family."
Two players for Langer had outstanding seasons on the ice and were recognized for their efforts.
Goaltender Matt Vernon, who led the NAHL with 40 wins and seven shutouts, was named the Central Division Player of the Year and Goaltender of the Year. Vernon cites a confidence level helped by Langer as a big part of his success.
"'Smack' (Langer) had told me when I came back this season that he wanted me to be the guy in net," Vernon said. "Knowing that, I felt like I was going to be counted on a lot this season, and that helped. It makes you feel determined because guys are expecting you to come up big, but at the same time, I know the guys in front of me will do their jobs. Our 'D' core has been so solid this year. They eliminate a lot of quality chances by our opponents because of blocking shots, fore-checking, and just knowing how to play against odd-man rushes."
Brad Belisle, playing his first year in Aberdeen, set a new team mark for points in a season with 68, scoring 33 goals while recording 35 assists. It was a text from Langer that alerted Belisle to the honor.
"I got a text and I looked at my phone and it was 'Smack' saying congrats," Belisle said. "I checked Twitter really quick and saw the release, and the first thing I did was respond back to (Langer). My season happened because of him taking a chance on me and introducing me to the Wings culture. I just have to give him and coach (Michael) Hill and Greg Odde credit. It's just a great group of guys we have in that locker room. Anyone on this team who gets an award knows you don't get it without the help from the rest of the team. It's very special being part of the Wings."
Jonathan Bendorf also made the awards list, being named the Central Division Community Service Award winner. Bendorf took home the league honors in this category last season through his volunteer work he continues to do at Aspire. His commitment to helping those with physical and mental disabilities stems from his childhood
"My billet mom got me involved with going to Aspire and helping out, which is something I've always loved doing," Bendorf said. "When I was a kid, my sister started working with children with disabilities. She fell in love with it and with helping others, and really, inspired me to do the same. 'Smack' preaches about being great players, but also being great men, and I'm just part of a group of high-class guys in that locker room. Giving back to the community is something I just love to do."
Capping off the day, the franchise itself received the highest honor of the Central Division as the Wings were named the Organization of the Year. This is the second straight year the Wings were recipients of the award.
"You're always happy when you reach your goals and then you exceed them," Odde said. "No question Scott and his team are having a great season. We've worked hard at doing things the right way, and that starts with ownership and goes down through our coaches, players, marketing staff, ticket sales, and our fans. These awards are voted on by your opponents and partners, and when you receive awards like we have, it really means something."
When Belisle first found out he was heading to Aberdeen, he had spoken to several people he trusted and they had relayed the same message: "You're going to a great head coach and an even better owner."
For Odde, that's why he and his family started this team, and it's the goal they have for each player each season.
"This year's team is as good a group as we've had no question," Odde said. "We knew this was how we wanted to build our program — through the players. We want them to evolve through our system, treat them well, reach their goals, then spread the word that that's what we're about. We want to develop them as players and as young men, and I think we've been able to accomplish that."
Vernon and Belisle were also named to the All-Central Division squad. Joining them was defenseman Dalton Weigel, who finished the regular season with seven goals and 38 assists

We are so honoured to chat with our Swish Listers and dear friends, Southridge Jam Company on the blog today! The Southridge Jam Co. is a social enterprise in Niagara that provides individuals who have recently experienced homelessness the opportunity to develop job training and life skills.
A short description of what you do: Good jam, great story. The Southridge Jam Company is a social enterprise that is on a mission to interrupt the cycle of homelessness in Niagara. How? Through the making and selling of local, small batch jams and jelly. Our jam is a unique option for wedding favours, corporate gifts and your family's breakfast table.
How long have you been working in the wedding industry? We have been making and selling jam as wedding favours since our first season in 2016.
What makes your business unique? Not only do customers receive delicious, locally-sourced jam in strawberry, peach or grape flavours, but they are contributing to our social goal of "Spreading Hope." Through our partnership with the Southridge Shelter in St. Catharines, our small batch jam and jelly has a social goal: to provide job skills and life training to individuals transitioning out of homeless. Each individual at The Southridge Jam Company completes six jam-making sessions; they gain confidence while being a part of the jam production process, every step of the way. The sense of purpose gained during these weeks, along with the friendships created with volunteers and leaders, provides a stable environment in which they can create continued positive momentum in their journey.
Favourite part of your business? As a team, each person has a favourite part of the business, depending on their individual skills and passions. For some, it is the precise science of making the jam. For others, it's getting to talk to people when we share our story at wedding shows or local markets. However, the thing that motivates us all to bring excellence into every stage of the process is the synergy that is felt when we're all together – there's no place like hope.
What inspires you? Story. The stories of hope, transformation, and healing that are shared while we work hard in the Southridge Jam Co. kitchen. They might be life stories or stories of the day we had, but each one reveals that all of us are on a journey to discover all that life holds for us. These stories have the power to make us believe that there is always hope. These are the stories that we strive to share with our customers, every opportunity we get.
Who is your mentor/hero in the industry? (your own industry or the Niagara wedding industry) The Vineyard Bride community has been an incredible source of inspiration for us at Southridge Jam Co. We love seeing the collaboration and support between each of these wedding vendors. The outstanding creativity we see from vendors at events like First Look Wedding Show not only inspires us to create a unique experience for our customers across every platform, but also reminds us that it's all about the feeling – we want people to feel the hope, love and transformation that is possible and happening in the Southridge Jam Co. kitchen.
On your day off...where would we find you? It depends who you ask, but we all love being part of a community and spending time with the people we love. For many of us, that might look like:
- Playing euchre with residents at the Southridge Shelter
- Serving meals to Niagara's Caribbean workers
- Enjoying Toronto Blue Jays games with our friends and family
- Finding new ways to incorporate Southridge Jam Co. into family meals
- Discovering the incredible stores and restaurants of downtown St. Catharines
- Enjoying plays at The Shaw Festival in Niagara-On-The-Lake
If you weren't a wedding vendor, what would be your dream job? If we weren't making jam, we would still be running a social enterprise. It's a concept that has resonated with us from the beginning. During the original brainstorming for our venture, there were lots of ideas that came up of ways we could empower former residents of the Southridge Shelter. However, we decided that jam would be the best fit because of the existing partnerships we had with farms across Niagara through the Southridge Caribbean Workers program. All the fruit for our jam is sourced locally and generously donated to us through these "fruitful" partnerships.
What great wedding trends are you seeing this year? There is certainly a trend of incorporating social goals into their weddings. From bringing awareness to social causes to making donations, people want to celebrate their special day in meaningful ways, in the small details and the big decisions.
Do you have any practical advice for couples planning a wedding? Think local. No matter where you get married, incorporate local talent and culture into your wedding. If you're getting married here in Niagara, you've chosen a spot that is flourishing with talented experts in the industry, creativity and stunning natural scenery. Take advantage of everything our community has to offer, from photography, to venues to food options.

Ayala, the Philippines-based conglomerate, is raising money for a new capital fund that will invest in technology companies.
As reported in Deal Street Asia, Ayala Chairman and Chief Executive Jaime Augusto Zobel de Ayala said the focus will be on companies in eCommerce, FinTech and healthcare. The executive was quoted as saying the company will be "bolder and more deliberate" in its venture capital strategy, supporting businesses with disruptive technology.
According to the report, Zobel de Ayala said during the annual shareholder meeting that the company would invest in startups with "scalable, innovative models." He added that the fund's investments will be aimed at complementing its brick-and-mortar business, ensuring that its existing businesses can evolve and bring more digital products and services to the Philippines. The fund is part of Ayala's strategy to implement digital strategies.
"We recognize that to continue thriving under a rapidly changing environment, we must evolve from traditional analog thinking into incorporating a digital perspective into our strategy and operations," the CEO said.
Following the stockholder meeting, Deal Street Asia reported that Ayala Chief Finance Officer Jose Teodoro Limcaoco told reporters the $150 million fund will likely be the largest in the country. The aim is to raise the money by the middle of this year, with proceeds being invested over the course of five years.
"We formulated a plan to establish a group-wide corporate venture capital entity where we are trying to raise $150 million of new money from within Ayala Corp. and its business units supported by the CEOs and by the board of the different units," Limcaoco said.
The fund will be managed by Kickstart Ventures, the venture capital unit of Globe Telcom. Globe Telecom is a joint venture between Ayala and Singapore Telecommunications. Minette Navarrete, Kickstart Ventures' vice chairman and president, told the news outlet that investments will be in the $2 million to $10 million range.

TITUSVILLE, FL -- "Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker is delusional if he thinks the abortion bill he signed today can be described as a 'beacon of hope' " said Father Frank Pavone, National Director of Priests for Life. "A bill that ensures the slaughter of full-term babies can only be called a beacon of bloodshed."
"I grieve today for the people of Illinois. Little do they know the damage that has been unleashed – and which we see each day in the tears and grief of the men and women of our Silent No More Awareness Campaign" Father Pavone continued.
"This law calls abortion a 'fundamental right.' The reality is that life is a fundamental right. Moreover, laws like this are not a sign of the strength of the abortion movement, but of its weakness. Abortion supporters are on the run, and are losing popular support. They see the courts slipping out of their hands, and so they no longer hide their extremism.
"That extremism is also the extremism of the Democrat Party, which is in deep need of reform, and until it abandons its support of abortion measures like this, it does not deserve a shred of political power," Father Pavone concluded.
Priests for Life is the world's largest Catholic pro-life organization dedicated exclusively to ending abortion. For more information, visit www.EndAbortion.US.

When it comes to music in the church, I'm from the old-school. I was raised on the Baptist church choir and, for all intents and purposes, I still believe in the power of what a choir can do. I know I've talked about this in a previous blog (please see https://lunsfordenterprises.wordpress.com/2013/02/08/the-power-of-the-choir/ ), but I wanted to come back to this subject one more time and go in a little bit deeper. The generally accepted definition for a "choir" is "an organized company of singers (as in a church service)." While that is true, that definition is a little sterile for my taste. The choir is so much more than just an organization of singers especially when it comes to the ministry of the Gospel through song. I did find a definition/explanation that I love in regards to the role and function of the church choir from the "Evangelical Lutheran Church in America" website:
"The choir is that portion of the congregation that is trained and rehearsed for the specific task of leading the sung prayer and praise of the people. Choir leaders will want to help the whole congregation to develop a clear understanding of the choir's role in the liturgy and its importance for the worship life of those assembled. In order to fulfill this calling, all choirs, no matter how large or small, no matter how limited or great their skill, will strive for excellence in all that they do."
To read the entire article, please click on the link: http://www.elca.org/Growing-In-Faith/Worship/Learning-Center/FAQs/Role-of-the-Choir.aspx
So when you know the power of what a choir can do, what the purpose of a choir is, and how it not only serves as a leading voice in the praise and worship of a church congregation, how can you NOT believe in the church choir? More to come on this subject. Stay tuned.
What do you think? Shared wisdom makes us all stronger.
