Real Couple ~ Monica & Gregg
Monica & Greg met at a local sports bar. She was working, and he was working on catching her eye! The two shared an instant connection and became fast friends...
They share a love of travel, food, sports and laughs. Gregg told Monica that someday she would be his wife. Deep down Monica knew he was right, but she waited a year to tell him she felt the same! Talk about playing hard to get!
The way Monica tells it, she waited until the two were alone at dinner to tell him how she felt. He kissed her, and her knees buckled! In that moment, she knew that he had been right all along.
For two people who share a love of travel and exploring new cities they have never been to Las Vegas together! Still, it was Monica's dream to get married here. And since Gregg's dream is to make her happy, we are setting off together to plan an epic celebration of a lifetime!
I am crazy for Monica and head over heels with the fact that she Tweets! She makes me laugh and I always hang up the phone feeling like I've just caught up with a lifelong friend!
Looking forward to meeting Monica and Gregg in person when they finally visit Las Vegas over - when else? - July 4th weekend when we will be visiting venues and putting together their dream team of wedding experts!
Thank you two for choosing me ~ Let's make this amazing!

Not fully buried yet.
Our multistorm total snowfall is now apparently more than 18 inches; the dog and I have to fight to get out of our driveway, because I have not in any way even attempted to free my car since the first storm nearly two weeks ago. There are obvious analogies to be drawn between our repeated snowfalls, which have added up to more than I can remember ever having seen here at one time, and the piling up of work all around me. I suppose I'm drawing them, at least a little. But mostly, cocooning and hibernating and being stranded in jeans and high boots and treading carefully through knee-deep snow and dog-high snow and snow-slickened streets has been startlingly unobjectionable. As has much of the piling work.

Your Podiatrist Has Treatment Options for Fallen Arches
The human foot is one of nature's most complicated structures and, within this complex piece of machinery, no component is more sophisticated than the arch. A delicate assembly of tendons and bones working together, the arch is what allows the foot to effectively distribute the body's weight and to absorb the shock of the strike of each step, enabling us to stand erect and walk upright.
Sometimes, the arch loses its height. Tendons loosen and bones sink, leading to what doctors call pes cavus, but you might know better as flatfoot or fallen arches.
Adults typically present with one of two types of pes planus: flexible or rigid. In the flexible variety of fallen arches, the arch disappears when the foot is placed on the ground but reappears when the foot is lifted. In the rigid variety, nothing makes the arch emerge.
Many things can contribute to the development of fallen arches in adults. Risk factors include congenital anatomical difference, torn or damaged tendons, bone trauma such as fracture or dislocation, nerve damage, chronic diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis or diabetes, obesity, and pregnancy.
Fallen arches can make it uncomfortable to wear shoes, stand, walk, or engage in physical activity. The feet may tire easily or feel achy or painful. They may become swollen. You may notice unexpected pain in other joints, such as the knees, hips, or back.
If your foot doctor diagnoses pes planus, his or her approach will depend on the severity of the condition. Options for treatment include:
● rest
● a regular cycle of icing
● over the counter or prescription pain relief and anti-inflammatory medications
● injected steroids
● physical therapy
● custom orthotics to provide cushioning and support
Surgery can be necessary, but only in rare or extreme cases.
If you are concerned about fallen arches or anything else related to the health and well-being of your feet, ankles, or lower legs, click here or call Podiatry Group of Annapolis, P.A. at 410-224-4448 to schedule an appointment with James M. McKee, DPM, FACFAS in our comfortable and convenient office in Annapolis, MD. Dr. McKee will bring his decades of specialized education and experience to your visit, providing you with a thorough examination, accurate diagnosis, appropriate treatment plan and ongoing care as needed.

How much have I been using my new device? Not much. Why? I've realised a fundamental flaw - I lack the courage to use it. It's been here for quite a while - but I dare not use it as much as I think I would. It's with me all the time - I want to play it. There's nothing quite like killing stuff on the go, or racing at unrealistic speeds, and soon a little more than I would have expected. The device would change what I had thought it could do. Its battery life had become immaterial in face of all the things it could do. I had condemned the device before for its battery life, its lack of many things - but things change when you actually look at it.
I saw this device for real, in actual use - and I felt it was practical for all it was worth. I had seen all the things it could do - and I would believe for the most part that it would become a success not in the market most people thought it would be fighting for. The device is meant to hit more markets than just the gaming market. It was meant to hit the average consumer. The average person should walk around with one - not because this average reasonable person thought it would be nice, but because it has other more practical uses in store.
I highly doubt this device is outselling its competitor in certain regions because of the same reason its competitor is outselling it in Japan, but likely due to its other attractions.
Wait for my full review of this device soon. ;)

If you've checked in with me before, you know that my household is a medium shade of green. We eat organic whenever possible, we recycle, we use natural health and beauty products, and that we use as many natural cleaning products as possible. It has then become a sort of experiment to find the most efficacious products to use. I love trying new things that are better for my family, better for the earth, and work better than what I am currently using. EcoStore offered me a couple of their products to try in exchange for my honest opinion. I am happy to say that both of the products I tried have their merits, and that I am probably forever sold on their whitener, or bleach alternative as the case may be. The other item we have been using is the 'Nappy Balm' which comes in a glass jar that I think is so much better than a plastic tube. It is a product that is so natural that I was even willing to try it out on the wee little one.
The whitener rocked my world. I had been waiting patiently for a good occasion to try it out though. I figured a week's worth of back-to-school socks was a worthy test subject. The socks came out of my dryer actually white, which is something that has been eluding me with the hydrogen peroxide based bleach that I have been using for a year or so now. I also used the powder as a stain remover scrub. While that was not a use sanctioned by the packaging, it worked really well, and took out some of the set in greasy pizza stains from my oldest child's new polo shirts.
I understand that their products are available at Meijer stores and on their website. I know that I would love to see Whole Foods carry their product line. You guys please check them out if you are like me and looking for 'green' clean, the company is serious about the environment right down to their packing materials (soy peanuts...how cool is that?)

ASR is thrilled to share our Q&A with Megan Joseph, Executive Director of Rise Together Bay Area. Megan spent some time addressing questions regarding her passion for equity and collective work, the efforts of Rise Together, as well as also Leadership for Equity and Opportunity (LEO), a unique leadership development program developed by Dr. Monica Sharma.
Q (ASR): What is Rise Together and how does it intend to end poverty and promote equity in the 9 Bay Area counties?
A (Megan): We are a regional coalition of over 250 organizations across the 9 County Bay Area working to accelerate systems and policy change in employment, education, housing and basic needs. We believe we are stronger together and through collective learning and action, we can create a Bay Area that works for everyone. Our backbone organization is United Way Bay Area, and we are guided by both a 20-member Steering Council representing business, philanthropy, nonprofit, government and social service sectors and by representatives from the 9 Bay Area counties who help develop and implement our core strategies and priorities.
Over the last two years, we have zeroed in on three key intersecting issue areas, which we've named A Strong Start for Every Child, Affordable Housing for Every Individual and Opportunity for Every Worker. Without these key building blocks in place, we cannot move the needle on poverty. Through Leadership and Capacity Development, Data for Informed Decision Making, Strategic Communications and Policy Advocacy, we work with our coalition to lift up what works, identify and advocate for specific systems and policy changes and build a strong and inclusive voice representing the most vulnerable in our region. Learn more about joining Rise Together!
Q: What changes have you seen happen over your time working with Rise Together?
A: I began working with Rise Together nearly two years ago, and in that time we have seen great political and societal shifts across the nation that have impacted every single entity and individual we work with. The need for organizations and initiatives to remain nimble and respond to each emerging crisis, whether it is the rights of the immigrant community or defending funding for basic needs, we have all had to redirect some energy and attention to these emerging issues – showing up for each other and acknowledging that your fight is mine, and mine yours. The most successful versions of this redirect, in my view, are those that didn't veer away from the incredibly important issues they were originally working on, but found a way to integrate the emerging issues into their existing work. They did things differently, rather than doing different things that cause already thin resources to be spread even more thinly across issue areas.
"We cannot address living wage without addressing the benefits cliff, we can no longer talk about housing without also talking about transportation, quality employment and access to affordable quality childcare."
In addition, successful initiatives including our own are increasingly highlighting and designing based on the intersectionality and interdependence of our issue areas. We cannot address living wage without addressing the benefits cliff, we can no longer talk about housing without also talking about transportation, quality employment and access to affordable quality childcare. In fact, if we do silo these issues we are weakening our impact. And we cannot talk about any of these issues without naming and addressing the structural racism and inequality that is undeniably present, made explicit both quantitatively and qualitatively in our data and information gathering.
If I had to summarize the shifts I've seen in the last two years, it would be the remarkable level of urgency and the increased quality of collaboration that is emerging to address our common challenges. Among the challenges of these times, a great new hope has emerged.
Q: What is LEO?
A: Leadership for Equity and Opportunity (LEO) is a unique leadership development program for change makers of all types and all levels who want to increase their capacity to create results. The program was developed and is facilitated by Dr. Monica Sharma, former Director of Leadership and Capacity Development for the United Nations. Dr. Sharma developed this leadership framework through her work with diverse communities over two decades through the U.N. LEO is about what it truly takes as leaders to design and lead deep equitable change.
"This program provides practical tools and practices for overcoming the root impediments to creating progress on an issue"
I am often asked how this program is different from the many leadership development curriculum out there, especially in the Bay Area where we are saturated with leadership opportunities. This program is unique in several ways. First, it is based on the application of prominent leadership and systems change theory usually reserve for high level entities or organizations and makes it accessible for community settings. This program provides practical tools and practices for overcoming the root impediments to creating progress on an issue - divides based on gender, religion, race, class and other potentially divisive factors in order to overcome barriers and create space for breakthrough results on complex issues. The program is also designed to help teams and initiatives work more efficiently and effectively together, overcoming both internal and external barriers and sticking points that get in the way of reaching the desired goal. The program is positioned to be appropriate for all levels of leadership, from those most impacted by an issue to Executive Directors, Elected Officials and business professionals.
Q: What changes have you seen happen over your time working with LEO?
A: Over the last 8 years that I have worked with two versions of this leadership framework - Leadership for Community Transformation (LCT) in Santa Cruz County and Leadership for Equity and Opportunity (LEO) in the Bay Area. I have seen tremendous shifts in how individuals, teams and initiatives work together to create change over the course of these programs. Addressing both visible and invisible divides in communities is the core of the Leadership framework. Day one is designed to flatten hierarchy of race, class, gender and professional title so that each participant can learn from one another and build a community of respect and shared goals. This is one of the most powerful shifts that occurs and alone leads to breakthrough results in organizations and in the community. From this new foundation, individuals then work to re-design and re-imagine existing projects through a series of powerful tools and processes created to ensure they create sustainable and equitable results. Here are just a few examples of results in communities applying the Leadership tools and principles to their work:
- A team of Solano County employees participated in the first and second cohorts of LEO, using their new internal Equity Committee as their project, designed to help ensure equity is built into public benefit programming and other aspects of county administration. They have since grown both participation and commitment within county departments to bring conversations about race, equity and inclusion forward and make this a central factor in planning decisions.
- Participants in the Santa Cruz County Housing and Homelessness learning community that emerged out of LCT recently worked together to design a community planning session and write a grant for new HUD funding to address youth homelessness using the Leadership tools. They were awarded 1 of 10 grants given nationally, and HUD provided the feedback that their implementation plan was the strongest they had received.
- The Santa Cruz County Youth Violence Prevention Task Force was designed and implemented using this framework, and is staffed and made up of many LCT alumni. They have built and sustained this coalition over 5 years by securing local government funding. They recently used LCT to apply for a Federal grant to support boys and men of color, and were one of a handful nationwide that received the $2 Million grant. Called Project Thrive, the task force is creating a trauma informed system of care of Latino men and boys in the county. Feedback from reviewers noted the cohesiveness, collaboration and systems change principles outlined in the proposal which helped them win the grant.
- The Director and Policy Coordinator of Ensuring Opportunity Campaign to End Poverty for Contra Costa County participated in the first Oakland based Leadership for Equity and Opportunity (LEO) cohort. They then used LEO tools to design their housing summit and town hall meetings across the county to help build leadership for affordable housing.
Why do you believe in this work? Why do you feel it is important?
The core of this work for me is making equity, dignity and thriving a reality for everyone, with no one left out anywhere. Humanity can no longer afford for 'equity' to remain rhetoric or a feel good conversation without action. Equity is a moral and economic imperative that must be sourced by all sectors for meeting today's challenges and planning for the future. How we act on equity today will determine the future for not only ourselves, but for many generations to come.
Equity is a moral and economic imperative that must be sourced by all sectors for meeting today's challenges and planning for the future.
I have seen time and again that it is when we lead with equity and do not falter from the commitment to everyone having the opportunity to thrive that we are able to explicitly identify gaps in our current systems and design alternatives. From this space we can see, name and act on the structural racism inherent in our systems. We can see that certain populations are left out of opportunities based on status alone and address this directly. From this space we can identify leadership challenges and begin to grow the capacity to meet them. Ultimately, we can create a world where all children, grandchildren and generations to come no longer have to fight to meet their basic needs because together we have designed thriving and equitable communities.
Therefore this collective work, in my view, is everything.

Adding to that bust of plane was the withholding of Hellfire missiles by the Obama Administration during the last Gaza War.
Alongside this facility would be a top level Boarding Prep School for both Israeli/Jordanian/Palestinian and American Jewish youth. It will be built so our future athletes can study and learn their sports from the best Israel has to offer.

Tablets Help Us Tick! How portable devices improve organization and efficiency./
As we become a more and more connected world and workplace; it is now time to add tablets to the "Project Superintendent Toolbox" as a standard item to assist in supervising projects.
When used correctly, tablets streamline many different processes during the workday for project superintendents.
Instant Access To Important Documents
Tablets provide easy access to critical Construction drawings through file sharing applications such as Dropbox, Fieldwire, or Plangrid as well as instant access to critical construction documents such as Purchase orders, Subcontract agreements, Approved submittals, etc.
Remote Meetings
Tablets can enable face-to-face meetings remotely with the home office and / or design team to resolve issues.
Access to Digital Tools and Tutorials
Tablets provide access to installation videos and instructions for new products and installations.
Review Management Software
Tablets make it convenient to review and monitor project schedules in real-time, in the field, using programs such as Microsoft Project as well as construction management programs such as Procore, Priavera, etc. It also helps us access weather information to make educated informed decisions on upcoming construction activities from anywhere at any time.
Create & Organize Data for Reports
Tablets give us the ability to generate and distribute accurate daily field reports, including pertinent data and photos.
Lee Penson, founder of Penson, the super-innovative commercial architectural firm behind Google's famous inflatable office space, says: "Technology can make you fly. It will unlock potential and give you freedom, but you have to be committed to it." He is a big advocate of using smart devices in construction.
"Snagging a job – checking a project over for last-minute adjustments and minor faults – can take a large amount of time, but newly developed apps and mobile-based solutions are not only quicker to input information into, but it means a paperless system that ensure no information is lost," Mr Penson continues. "The information can be read instantly by others elsewhere on the construction site and in the office."

Weekender: For a Rugged Twist on a Winery Town, Head to Murphys
Elise Craig | Photo: Courtesy Back 40 Feet | July 30, 2015
A tiny hamlet with deep cellars, deep spelunking, and deeper history.
Bay Area road-trippers are always switching between Tahoe, the Russian River, and towns along the Pacific, but if you're not heading east—way east—you're missing out. The foothill towns of California are full of gritty Gold Rush charm, outdoor adventures, and, in the case of Murphys, wine. Take 580 out from the bay and head across the state for about three hours, until you hit the tiny Calaveras County outpost of 2,000, near the edge of the Stanislaus National Forest. The town's main street has a couple dozen tasting rooms (stay the night and you won't have to worry about drinking and driving), plenty of places to eat along the way, hikes and camping nearby, and, oh yes, a few local ghosts.
Food and Drink
You can drink your way through more than a dozen tasting rooms while walking only a few blocks. (Although, for obvious reasons, we recommend breaking this up over more than one night.) If you're not claustrophobic, head to Zucca, a winery with a basement tasting room whose cavelike vibe suggests that you drop your pickax and gold pans at the door.
Along the way, stop at Magnolia Café for a breakfast burrito or Filipino breakfast bowl with eggs, coconut sticky rice, and sweet chili sauce, or grab some post-tasting dinner at Alchemy Market and Café, where you can throw down slow-smoked spare ribs or seafood pad thai before calling it a day.
Hotel with a History
The Ritz-Carlton it's not. But if you're into folksy charm and taxidermy, the Murphys Historic Hotel is a great place to lay your head. It's been operating continuously since 1856, hosting everyone from Mark Twain to Ulysses S. Grant, from Susan B. Anthony to John Wayne. Hit up the saloon for live music on weekends or the hotel's old-school steak-and-potatoes restaurant. As an added bonus, locals have it that the hotel's haunted by a couple of ghosts: John, believed to be a onetime manager, and Eleanor, a lovelorn 19th-century hotel maid.
Just a mile outside of town you'll find Mercer Caverns. Drop $20 on a 45-minute guided tour through the massive cave (which, at 55 degrees, might be a welcome relief from the summer heat), or, if you want to really commit, drive ten minutes more to Moaning Cavern, where you can rappel 165 feet down into a vertical chamber so big it could hold the Statue of Liberty.
Music in the Sun
Ironstone Vineyards' summer concert series has some pretty sweet throwback acts for a teeny-tiny mining town. From now through the end of the summer, you can enjoy the musical stylings of some of your old faves, from REO Speedwagon to Steve Miller Band with Buddy Guy to Hall & Oates. Camping out on the amphitheater's lawn will run you about $60 a ticket.

Drugs do not cure; if they did, what need of their continuous use? Why they do not cure is because they fall to reach the source of the trouble, viz: The pneumo - gastric nerve, which alone gives power to the stomach to digest food. When the nervous system is run down from overwork or worry, the pneumo-gastric nerve, which is an important member of the nervous system, suffers its share of the gen eral debility. Then the stomach fails to perform Its functions and the doctors term this Condition Nervous Dyspepsia. Electricity is nerve food and nerve strength. When rightly applied, as I apply it with Electro-Vigor, to the nerve centers, it cures to stay cured. Dyspepsia, Indiges tion and all troubles of the stomach, liver and bowels. "T have never regretted the price I paid for Electro-Vigor, for it has completely and permanently cured me of stomach trouble and I am thankful indeed for this relief. "Tours truly, "MRS. H. C.

TACOMA. Dec. 4. (Special.) Captain J. E. Savage, Quartermaster's Agent at Tacoma, spent much time in the North ern regions, and is familiar with the country about Mount McKlnley. Asked his opinion of the Cook controversy, he said: "I don't see any reason why Dr. Cook should not have climbed McKinley. The trouble is. he is going to have a hard time to prove it. People in Alaska are skeptical, because nobody ever climbed it before Cook said he did. People used to feel the same way about Mount Shasta and many people who tried it said that it would never be scaled. Mc Kinley is surrounded with an ice bar rier that forms anew each year and some years it might form in such a way that a man could get up, while other years it might present an impassable obstacle. 'Mount Rainier is like that. Lots of people who allege they have scaled that peak never did so. Some years the ice cap forms in such a way that there are no ridges or routes by which the top can be reached. Cook says it took him practically seven days to get up and back; people who say he did not attain the crest of the mountain declare he could not have covered the distance in seven days. Maybe he had just the right combination of luck and weather, and got there." Lieutenant Coffin, of the First Infan try, who had Just returned from Alaskan duty along the Government telegraph line, said: "I was around McKinley about a month ago but all I saw was snow. I didn't see any footprints that looked -like Cook's, nor even any of his guide. But I wouldn't say that he didn't get there." MOROS FIGHT, ON MINDANAO Kill Constables and Porters and Lose Score In Battle. MANILA, Dec. 4. Fanatical Moros and Sananos forced a fight on a de tachment of Constabulary under Lieu tenant darts near Mount- Malindang, Mindanao Island, last Sunday. Six mem bers of the Constabulary, four porters and one policeman were killed and one of the Constabulary was wounded. The aggressors left 20 of their number dead when they finally scattered. Some 4000 fanatics gathered in the vicinity of the mountain two weeks ago and Governor Pershing anticipated dis order. Constabulary reinforcements have been sent to the scene of the fight, but no further trouble is expect ed, as the tribesmen are reported to be returning to their homes.

Address NO MO RE PIPES NOW Laying of Water Mains to Await Special Election. METHOD OF PAYING, ISSUE Under Present Law Contractors Will Not Bid, Cost Being- Charged Against Property Owners, .Who Resist Payment. ,o ' more water mains will be laid in Portland until after the special election, at which a proposed amendment will be submitted to the voters, changing the law relative to payment of installation of these pipes. It is probable the election will be held late in January or early in February, and Mayor Simon and mem bers of the Water Board, as well as many others deeply interested, believe it will pass by a large majority. "There is no use in trying to lay water mains under the present law," said Mayor Simon yesterday morning. "We have tried and tried to get bids for this work, but the contractors take little or no interest in it, owing to the doubt they have of collecting their money from the abutting property owners. It is a law that will not work, and I sincerely hope the people will adopt the proposed amend ment at the coming special election. We urgently need the new law, owing to the fact that we cannot get mains laid until there is1 some means of making it a matter of interest to the contractors. In order to have the mains laid ahead of the hard-surface pavements, we mustr have a law that will bring about new conditions, and such a proposed law will be submitted some time next year for the voters to act upon." Mayor Simon and Councilman Baker, chairman of the special committee on the proposed amendment, are shaping things for the special election, at which the water law is proposed to bo changed. The date of the election hasNiot yet been determined by the Council. The proposed amendment will change tne system or paying for the laying of water mains. At present, the law makes it obligatory upon the Water Board to charge to the abutting property the ex pense of installing all mains under 10 inches, and the smaller ones are largely used. Under this law, the contractors have refused to bid. or when they do bid, charge exorbitant rates, in order to pro tect themselves from delays in making collections on assessments. Rather than be forced to sue those who might refuse to pay assessments for water mains, the contractors, for the most part, pay ' no attention to the calls for bids and the Water Board has been unable to accomplish anything in the Way of extending the system. It is for. this reason that the Mayor and members of the Board have decided to drop the in stallation of mains until there is a new law in effect. Grange Organized at Klamath. KLAMATH FALLS, Dec. 4.

Thurston Moore details 'The Best Day' LP, shares title track, expands tour (dates & stream)
by Andrew Sacher
photo by Phil Sharp
We recently mentioned that Sonic Youth's Thurston Moore formed a new band with SY drummer Steve Shelley, My Bloody Valentine's Deb Googe, and James Sedwards, and will be releasing an album with them, The Best Day, via Matador. Though SY's site originally said the album would be out September 23, it's actually coming October 21 and can be pre-ordered now. The title track was just released, and it's one of Thurston's more traditionally indie rock-sounding songs, though with a blues riff and a classic rock guitar solo thrown in. Check it out below. The band also recently made their live debut at a secret show in London. Watch a video of them playing "Detonation" at that show, below.
The Thurston Moore Band have also added more tour dates to their schedule, including two in NYC: Saint Vitus on October 21 and Rough Trade on October 26. Tickets for the Vitus show and tickets for the Rough Trade show go on sale Friday (8/22) at noon. Sebadoh support on many dates, but no openers announced for the NYC shows yet.

I like old people. There's something inherent cool about having survived long enough to develop wrinkles. If you manage to reach such an age then there are stories embedded within every inch of your being. Of course the young have tales to tell as well. Basically, I like watching people. I don't think I've reached stalker level yet, but I thoroughly enjoy just sitting and watching people go by. Here's a collection of images I captured while doing just that in Istanbul.
A park bench next to the fountain between the Blue Mosque and the Hagia Sophia was my favorite perch, but I found quite a few great faces while walking the city too. Keep your eyes open for the honey salesman, Istanbul's greatest mustache and a very dapper fish griller.

The Ellen Fund Team
Ellen DeGeneres is well-known for her comedy, but what isn't as commonly known is her passion for protecting our wildlife. In fact, her hero since childhood was Dian Fossey, the legendary figure featured in the book and movie Gorillas in the Mist. With this in mind, Portia de Rossi (Ellen's wife and fellow actor) surprised Ellen with the birthday gift-of-a-lifetime: an opportunity to follow in her hero's footsteps by establishing a home for The Dian Fossey Gorilla Fund through the newly established Ellen DeGeneres Wildlife Fund.
This gift gave Ellen — and the millions who love her — the opportunity to be a champion for an endangered species, just like Ellen's hero Dian Fossey.
And while it happens to be Ellen's name on the Fund, one person alone can't do this without the help, support, funding and love of a large community. The Ellen Fund is and always will be a team effort. It is, in fact, the only way that we can save these animals… with your help.
And so it is today that The Ellen Fund is led by Ellen and Portia, with an amazing team keeping all the pieces moving together, as well as an incredible partner in The Dian Fossey Gorilla Fund.
The Ellen Fund supports global conservation efforts for endangered species. Founded in 2018 by Portia de Rossi as a gift for Ellen DeGeneres, our immediate focus is to secure a future for wild gorillas by building a permanent home for The Dian Fossey Gorilla Fund.
Dian Fossey Gorilla Fund
Our Partner
"Dian Fossey is someone I've admired my whole life. Her work with the mountain gorillas in Africa is one of the things that inspired me to be an animal advocate."
The Dian Fossey Gorilla Fund continues the work begun in 1963 by Dian Fossey in the forest of Rwanda. And now, 65+ years later, The Fossey Fund is the world's leader for gorilla protection and study. In fact, most of what is scientifically known about gorillas has come from research conducted by their scientists, and that data continues to play a critical role in advancing science today. The Fossey Fund's motto is "Helping People. Saving Gorillas" because of their integrated approach to conservation. It is in fact, the main reason that the endangered gorilla species of great ape is increasing in number. Their approach includes daily protection, scientific research, educating conservationists and helping communities, and we are proud to partner with them to create The Ellen DeGeneres Campus of The Dian Fossey Fund.
The Ellen DeGeneres Campus
of the Dian Fossey Gorilla Fund
The Ellen Fund was initially started with one very clear purpose: to continue Dian Fossey's journey and help save mountain gorillas in the wild. We are 100% focused on making this first project a success.
The Dian Fossey Gorilla Fund was created to continue Dian's legacy after her untimely death. In the 40 years since, they have been doing amazing work to assure her mission of saving the gorillas. Not only do they address all threats to the gorillas — from human illnesses to habitat loss — but they also work closely with the surrounding communities to help assure locals and the gorillas can live together in harmony, where each helps the other.
But they were missing a critical component: a permanent home. The Ellen Fund is supporting The Fossey Fund as it works with the local population, gorillas experts, local and world-class architects, technology sponsors and many others to create a campus that will support (a) the longterm health and care of the Dian Fossey Fund, (b) gorilla science, (c) responsible tourism, and (d) the needs of the local population.
It's officially called The Ellen DeGeneres Campus of the Dian Fossey Gorilla Fund, and we hope you can visit some day.
Donations to The Ellen Fund will help build The Ellen DeGeneres Campus of the Dian Fossey Gorilla Fund. This is The Ellen Fund's first project and main priority. The goal of the campus is to inspire everyone who visits to cherish gorillas and their conservation. We met with an architect when we were in Rwanda and it's going to be fantastic. We can't wait for you to see it.
The Campus aims to inspire all who visit toward a lifetime of gorilla conservation: tourists, scientists, government partners, students and community members.
The Campus will feature:
11 acres adjacent to Volcano National Park in northern Rwanda, with more than 50,000 square feet of building space,
The best in sustainable architecture, local resourcing, and environmentally-responsible practices,
State-of-the-art laboratories, a scientific conservation library, and meeting space for large groups,
An interactive exhibit that focuses on Dian Fossey's story and the conservation of the mountain gorillas in Rwanda, and
Indoor and outdoor classrooms with a range of experiences for everyone from young children to scientists to tourists.
Groundbreaking is scheduled for early 2019, with completion targeted approximately 2 years later. We invite you to follow and support our journey along the way via Ellen's Journals, social media, and The Ellen Show updates.
There are many ways to support the Campus, from donations to sponsorship opportunities. Contact us for further details.
Kids and The Ellen Fund
The Ellen Fund has been proud and incredibly honored to have the support of children from Day 1. We've seen lemonade stands to birthday parties supporting the Fund…and we realize that kids understand that animals need help. Kids get this!
In seeing all the support, we decided we had to do something to support them in return, and so we're in the process of creating a website just for kids, with games, learning, and some special ways that they too can help the gorillas.
When kids help, they make a big difference. They raise awareness and inspire their adults to act, and they will also grow up with an awareness of environmental conservation, knowing that that they can make a difference.
Kids are smart. And so we'll be open to their new ideas on how to help, as we too continue to learn from them.

What is it?
The U.S. Army Voting Assistance Program informs and educates Soldiers and their eligible dependents on their right to vote. The goal is to encourage our Army community to participate in our nation's voting process and know their vote will be counted no matter where they are stationed. Voting Assistance Officers (VAOs) world-wide, assist in this process to make registration and voting materials available to all eligible Army voters. Yet, it is the responsibility of voters to register, request an absentee ballot and cast their vote.
What has the Army done?
The Army has appointed 6,743 VAOs to provide assistance to Soldiers, eligible family members and DA civilians. In addition, the Military Postal Service Agency (MPSA) has fielded a special ballot return label, which allows voters to track their completed ballot from their overseas location, all the way to their local election official. As part of this program, MPSA and the U.S. Postal Service also provide free express mail service for returning ballots during the period Sept. 1 through Nov. 2, 2010. This provides the fastest service possible, to ensure everyone has the opportunity to have their vote counted.
What continued efforts does the Army have planned?
Since the adoption of the Military and Overseas Voter Empowerment (MOVE) Act, the Army has appointed Installation VAOs to each installation to assist the unit VAOs. This VAO team is available to inform our communities about the voting process and provide voter materials to eligible voters, including CONUS DA civilian personnel, who request voter information and guidance. This includes material on the voting process, requesting absentee ballots and mailing the completed ballots.
Why is this important to the Army?
With the constant demands faced by our Soldiers, families and civilian workforce, the Army is taking these important steps to ensure every eligible voter has the opportunity to exercise their constitutional right to vote. The voting process is a key element in our nation's governmental process. The Army Voting Assistance Program provides our voters the resources necessary to exercise that right.

Adult summer camps, complete with expert guides, gourmet meals and happy hours, are the next big wellness trend. Here's how Pursuit Series Co-founder Julia Stamps-Mallon turned her idea into a sold-out outdoors festival.
SoulCycle's New HIIT Class is Murder, in the best way
Right after our first set of intervals, as I gasped for air amid encouragement from instructor Laura Crago, I thought well, gym cycling classes are toast. After more than a year in a development by a team of master instructors, SoulCycle launched its new SoulActivate class on Tuesday, February 27. And it is a bitch (but in that I DID IT AND NOW I CAN DO ANYTHING kind of way).
Less about the sweaty playfulness and clubby choreography that put SoulCycle on the map, the hour-long, HIIT-style Activate class is the answer to critics who say Soul rides aren't scientifically optimal training for the cardiac system—a number of competing gyms and cycling studios have long focused on "smarter" programming that centers on increasing heart rate and strength training. Now, with an aggressive studio expansion and a following of veteran riders who could complete the traditional SoulCycle class in their sleep, the company is upping its game with the addition of this endurance-building class in studios throughout the Bay Area, New York, and Los Angeles.
The class begins as usual, with a warm-up song and a series of climbs and sprints with the brand's signature tap-back and push-up movements. At about minute 20, though, things took a more serious turn.
An extended weight-training session gave our legs a break but worked our arms using multiple, heavier weights than Soul's traditional rides. And then our instructor sprang it on us that we were in for some gnarly HIIT.
"This is how Olympic athletes train!" Crago shouted, pumping us up. "Pushing your heart rate as hard as you can, followed by real rest, is proven to make you a stronger rider, make you faster, make you better."
At what would have been halfway through a standard SoulCycle ride, we began a series of six intervals, turning up the resistance on our bikes until it felt like pedaling in quicksand. We spun as hard as we could for 20 seconds, then took a one-minute rest, our legs completely still, our chests heaving. After each run, Crago marked the number of sprints we'd completed on a whiteboard behind her; after the first, my legs felt thoroughly worked, my lungs like they were going to explode; after the sixth and final run, I felt like someone really should be handing me a medal.
After a brief reprieve sprinting on a lighter load, we rolled into a second set of intervals. I think I laughed as Crago announced what was coming—I'd barely finished that last set alive. (At this point in the class, a normal 45-minute ride would be over and I would be halfway down the street grabbing protein waffles at Project Juice.) But she wasn't joking, and we instead embarked on a series of eight sprints, 20 seconds each with just 10 seconds off. I honestly don't know how I made it through, but once we moved onto our final sprint song, I was high on my own oxygen and would do whatever she asked.
It's important to note that this class is definitely not for noobs: SoulCycle recommends riders take at least 10 standard classes before signing up for Activate. For experienced riders who already incorporate SoulCycle into a weekly fitness regime, the brand advises taking the new class about two times per week. For myself, I think once a week, as a way to really test and push my cardio system, is plenty ambitious.

Parsley Health's $1800 Functional Medicine Membership is SO Worth it!
Parsley Health celebrates its first year of functional medicine in the Bay Area with an educational fete.
Parsley Health SF, the only functional medicine clinic whose offices are located within WeWork, is turning one on December 5. If you're in the Bay Area, everyone's invited to pop by that day to listen to founder Dr. Robin Berzin talk microbiomes (gut bacteria) and biohacking (DIY 'hacks' to optimize your health) while they sip on a bulletproof matcha latte. But what is Parsley? When I heard that the super-buzzy New York-based organization, a pioneering mind-body medical practice, had quietly opened a San Francisco outpost soon after its LA location, I signed right up for a full new-patient intake. As a person who works in the wellness industry, I regularly meditate, run and spend more time than normal in Bay Area boutique-fitness studios. But I haven't had an old-fashioned check up since SoulCycle hit the West Coast (ahem, 2013).
Ahead of my visit, I filled out a mountain of new patient paperwork on personal and family health, using a digital-patient portal. During our hourlong-plus visit, Dr. Tiffany Lester reviewed my medical history (and my family's) in detail, not leaving any mind-body stone unturned, before she performed a basic physical exam. After my visit, she recommended some baseline testing (blood panels, cortisol screening) to get a data-based overview of my health.
Parsley acts as a primary-care office, and you can talk to your doctor in person or online regarding everything from testing questions to prescription refills. On average, traditional doctors' offices write a prescription for 70 percent of visits, while Parsley's doctors only write an Rx 10 percent of the time. Their goal is to treat patients holistically for total mind-body health through regular doctor's visits, dietary recommendations, vitamin supplementation and a robust health-coaching system. Rather than writing prescriptions, Parsley physicians might write a recommendation for a meditation class or acupuncturist, therapist or fitness classes.
This holistic approach to health is available exclusively to Parsley members who fork out $1600 to $1800 per year for membership. Included is an initial 75-minute visit with a doctor like the one I had, followed by biomarker testing that could include in-home tests and blood work to asses a baseline for health, and then a second 60-minute doctor visit and three additional 30-minute visits to assess progress. In practice that lengthy first session felt like a huge departure from my previous annual check-ups. The average traditional doctor spends around 15 minutes with patients, while the average Parsley visit is 50 minutes - they have time to dig into everything. After that biomarker testing, members receive five health coaching sessions over 12 months, in-person or digitally, with a staffer trained in functional nutrition to create a game plan to put into practice what the doctor recommended. Together between the Parsley team, members receive a seven-part health plan to optimize health at every level - diagnostic testing, mental health, fitness, nutrition, coaching, supplementation and coaching support. Beyond the office, members can access Parsley Perks in the patient portal that include discounts on all supplements and protein powders they sell, as well as access to wellness partners including free Headspace and Thrive Market memberships.
Just last month they launched a Parsley Assessment for commitment phobes that, for $500, packs in what would cost around $2,500 at a traditional clinic: a 75-minute intake, biomarker blood tests, a seven-part map to health, a 45-minute meeting with a health coach and access to the members-only perks program. And for those who can't get enough functional medicine support, Parsley has also launched a Premium Membership that includes additional visits with the doctor and nutrition coach, as well as 'priority visits and messaging'.
If you, like me, haven't been to the doctor in ages because you hate waiting rooms and someone throwing prescriptions at you in between the five other patients they need to see in the next ten minutes, Parsley's whole person approach might be for you. // 8am and 5pm, Dec 5th, RSVP for Parsley events at eventbrite.com, parsleyhealth.com

The title of this blog might seem insane to you, but I feel like this story started a new era in my life. Ok, that might be a little dramatic. But still.
When I was younger, I lived overseas for years, and I was honestly really out of touch with American culture. I never owned an Easy Bake Oven, watched Rugrats, or did most of the things that EVERYONE apparently did at my age. That's totally fine with me, and I don't miss any of it. But when I came back to the States, it seemed like so many people were crazy about some guy named Michael Jackson.
I'd never even heard of him before (or NSync, or the Backstreet Boys...I was behind). When I read about his life I just thought, man, how could he make good music? I honestly couldn't fathom that someone with so many problems could be a good entertainer. So I absolutely refused to listen to his music. One of my friends in particular tried to get me to listen, and I finally unplugged her CD player. I was a very logical child.
Anyways, fast forward to my college years. I'd like to think I had good taste in music by that point. I'd thankfully gotten past the Gwen Stefani phase (how did that even happen?!) and was hooked on Yellowcard, the Goo Goo Dolls, and other good stuff that I still love today.
Then, Michael Jackson died.
And finally, after years of refusal, my boyfriend (now husband) made me listen to one song. Just one. And told me if I didn't like it, I didn't ever have to listen to it again.
I'll never forget it. The song was Smooth Criminal, and we listened to it on the same laptop I'm currently using. I flipped out. Way flipped out. Turns out, he's an AMAZING performer. And such a great singer, and a phenomenal dancer. And I had missed his ENTIRE LIFE!
That day, I learned a valuable lesson: most entertainers have messed up lives. Even so, that didn't keep Michael from making great music! And he will remain one of my favorites for a long, long time.
Happy Sunday!

Do you know the most readily useful upcoming games to help keep an eye fixed with this 12 months while the next? Like countless other game titles, the "Metro" show is defined in a post-apocalyptic wasteland. A tweet by semi-known gaming tipster Marcus Sellars has recommended that PS5 dev kits went to third-party devs at the start of 2018. By the end of Microsoft's E3 2018 meeting, Xbox boss Phil Spencer officially confirmed that a brand new Xbox is on route.
It's some kind of creation tool, described as an area in which to generate your own personal fantasies, whether or not they're games, art, movies, music, or anything in-between and beyond." There will be a community element, as players can share what they make, but beyond your only thing we really understand is it appears incredible.
Produced through publisher's EA Originals label, the overall game sets players in a dark, yet colorful forest, in which they need to uncover secrets and befriend strange, mythical animals. Voted TechRadar's many highly-anticipated game of 2018, Rockstar's latest outing appears set become one of the primary releases of the season.
NEW YORK – Major League Baseball plans to begin the 2019 and 2020 seasons in Asia and play regular-season games in England in June of both years. 2017 ended up being the greatest ever 12 months for games computer software, reaching an archive £3.56bn in product sales, driven by record results in both Digital and on the web product sales (£1.6bn, +13.4percent) and mobile phone Games, which obtained revenues over £1bn for the first time (£1.07, +7.8percent).
Looking at an alternate way to obtain software sales information, according to the Entertainment Retailers Association (ERA), combined real and digital product fun88 review sales UK games product sales in 2017 generated an archive £3.35bn, increasing 9.6percent regarding the previous year. Unlike a lot of games, "Metro" is defined in Russia.
Us old PCGamesN sages have now been across the videogame block lots of times currently, so we are completely placed to share with you towards titles that you can should be saving your cents. Historically accurate tools and vehicles will feature while the single-player War Stories mode will return alongside the co-op game play of Combined Arms.
Granted, that is because its simple presence is notably astonishing, but everything we have seen regarding the game to date shows that Rage 2 will combine the very best of a few popular action games to produce something which's ultimately form of special. Because of this, players can get some action-packed and chaotic battle sequences.

3 Countries, 3 Murders and 1 CFE's Determination to Speak for Those Who Can't Speak for Themselves/
Jeff Filliter was working at a bank in Canada when he was flown to Mexico City to investigate the murder of a 41-year-old branch manager who was last seen entering the back seat of a black Jaguar after work a few days earlier. What Filliter, a CFE and investigator of more than 40 years, relayed to attendees at the 2017 ACFE Fraud Conference Canada in Toronto earlier this month was a story straight out of a Netflix series. The six-year, multijurisdictional fraud and money laundering investigation is also the subject of Filliter's newly released book, The Shallowest of Men.Read More

I do absolutely love the digital presences of the New York Public Library!
With funding from the the The Metropolitan New York Library Council, NYPL plans to digitize their audio collection from their public educational program series. From the start of the series in 1983 NYPL has featured "contemporary writers, artists, academics, critics and intellectuals currently working in the United States and abroad and given them a forum in which to explore ideas, new and old, in lectures, interviews, and conversations." There are over 1,200 recordings on a "variety of media in analog format".
Realizing the public appeal of these recordings, NYPL has chosen 24-hours of the best of the best of the recorded series. Their goal is to put the finished digitized recordings on the Library's website–" to ensure broad access to local, national and international audiences and as an effort to preserve their original intellectual content "
So far NYPL has seven recording featured on their site, including this one featuring Wynton Marsalis and hopefully Jay-Z will soon become preserved for the masses for the long run in NYPL's 24 Hours of Public Programs.
Look forward to hearing Isaac Asimov, Umberto Eco, Henry Louis Gates, Tom Stoppard and Joyce Carol Oates.
