This article by Cap Stewart is part of the inspiration for my article The Requiem For a Dream Problem. It is quite thought-provoking. Enjoy!
I confess, I'm something of a Trekkie. I've been looking forward to the release of Star Trek Into Darkness more than any other movie this year. While reading a few content reviews, though, I came across a snag. The film contains a scene in which a woman changes clothes after asking her male companion to turn his back to her—obviously for the sake of decency. After feigning compliance, the man sneaks a peek. So does the camera, giving the audience an unobstructed view of this woman in a state of undress.
Here's what I have decided: I cannot financially support this movie. Why? Because I want to grow in my ability to honor God and love that actress.
In James 1:27, which I recently wrote about, we are told, "Religion that is pure and undefiled before God, the Father, is this: to visit orphans and widows in their affliction, and to keep oneself unstained from the world." James gives the two distinctive fruits that grow from the root of genuine Christianity: love and holiness. Followers of Christ should exemplify these traits when interacting with the world—including the realm of entertainment.
Let's talk about holiness first. Believers have grown to ignore, accept, or even endorse tantalizing sexuality in films. Based on the lax standards of Christian moviegoers, an unbeliever might conclude that the Bible takes no clear stance on immodesty and nudity. But God is far from silent on these issues.
Scripture associates public nudity with shame (Gen. 3:7; Isa. 47:3; Nah. 3:5; Rev. 3:18). Because of this, God Himself provided clothes for Adam and Eve after the Fall (Gen. 3:21). Job made a covenant with his eyes so that he would not look lustfully at women (Job 31:1). David fell into adultery by seeing a naked woman, even though it was in a "nonsexual" situation (2 Sam. 11:2-4). Jesus refers to a wandering eye as adultery worthy of hell (Matt. 5:27-30). In using the human body as a metaphor for the church, Paul describes it as having "unpresentable parts" that require "greater modesty" (1 Cor. 12:23). Whether sexual or nonsexual, nakedness outside of marriage is shameful.
Countless Christians deny that movies with nudity and/or sex scenes affect them. But as Doug Wilson has pointed out in Reforming Marriage, such denials come from two types of men. The first man is a liar; he is either attempting to fool himself or someone else—and probably both. The second kind of man is telling the truth, but only because he "is so deadened in his conscience that it would take a lot more than that to get him going."
When Noah became naked in a drunken stupor (Gen. 9:20-27), his son Ham took the situation lightly and told his two brothers about it. Shem and Japheth, on the other hand, treated their father with respect and covered his nakedness without looking at him themselves. This story shows that, even if it is possible to encounter nudity without being aroused, it still cannot be considered a legitimate form of entertainment.

Mind if I stand here and say bad words? Because I feel like it right now.
I was sitting on the Woman's lap and she kept looking at me funny, asking if I felt okay; she was worried because I kept acting like I was trying to push something out of my mouth with my tongue--well hells bells, people, when you have to lick your fur clean sometimes it gets stuck on your tongue! But I made the mistake of yawning a few times and she decided I couldn't open my mouth all the way, so she says Monday she's calling the stabby place!
WTF? Because I didn't open my mouth all the way? IT WAS A LITTLE YAWN!
But noooo, she's decided maybe I have a cavity or something.
Cripes, sometimes I hate people.
Mind if I stand here and say bad words? Because I feel like it right now.

Santa Fe, New Mexico. I want to live in a stucco house again.
- Miles Today: 360
- Miles Total: 2234
- From/To: Santa Fe, New Mexico to El Paso, Texas
- Slept: Old Santa Fe Inn
- Soundtrack: Johnny Cash, Leonard Cohen and Three Days Grace.
- Best Thing: Discovering that there is a town in New Mexico named Truth or Consequences.
- Worst Thing: Forgetting to take a photo of the sign for said town.
- Quote of the Day: "Have you been to Cowgirls? Rachel Ray raved about it." Said by the guy at the Santa Fe tattoo place when I asked him where he recommended for lunch. Lunch was had at a little hole-in-the-wall Mexican place instead.
For a few years in Portland, I lived in Big Pink. Big Pink was, not surprisingly, big. And pink. Or, truly, salmon. It was also quite possibly one of a total of six or seven houses in Portland that was built out of stucco. It housed six apartments, I think. Six really tiny apartments built into the house. The apartment had so much character (which, yes, is like saying "She has a great personality.). I don't think there was a single closet in the whole space. It did have a little breakfast nook. A "patio" that was too small to stand on. There were no doors except on the bathroom–only archways. The stove was the size of a Betty Crocker Easy Bake Oven, and the dials were about as accurate. Cooking turkey was not recommended.
Despite all of that, I loved that apartment. I wrote a lot there. I liked the light and the way the stucco kept cool to my touch. The bumpy walls appealed to me, as did the arched doorways, the built-in shelves that were not the right size to hold anything, the open feel of having only curtains between spaces, the way that everything was curved or sloped or angled (some on purpose, most due to either the age or the condition of the house).
Santa Fe, too, is full of character. Vivid colors, adobe curves, old signs and new. Route 66. Cowboy boots and turquoise. Georgia O'Keefe. The low buildings in front. The mountains behind.
Walking around downtown Santa Fe this morning, I was reminded of Big Pink, and how much she taught me about character and why it mattered. Before that, many of the places I'd lived were cheap. Not just in rent, but in construction. Many were bland. Some were cute, but they had bad bones. When I lived in Big Pink, I was developing some character of my own. I was learning who I was and why that mattered. I was gathering strength in my spine, standing up beneath my desire to become a writer, a woman, a person, a friend, and all of the other roles that one takes on. I was finding my own curves, my colors, my angles and archways. Figuring out what my walls–and my doorways–looked like, and what was hidden behind each one.
I'm still torn about this place. Meaning Santa Fe. Meaning New Mexico. Meaning the desert. The truth is, she's too hot for me. Too flat and dry and cracked. I don't understand how to turn her dials to the right temperature, and I'm pretty sure that if I stayed much longer, she'd burn me alive.
But, man, she sure does have a great personality…
Far and fast, s.
Sunset south of Truth or Consequences, New Mexico

We buy houses in Cedar Park fast, in cash and close quickly.
Hey there! Thanks for stopping by.
Need to sell your house in Cedar Park fast? We've got you covered. We're DHB Holdings and
we buy houses in Cedar Park in cash. What's more is we'll do it quickly.
Whether you live in Forest Oaks or Creekview, we buy homes in the entire Cedar Park area. And we're not afraid of a project, so no worries if your home is rough around the edges or even in need of some major renovations. We've bought homes in all kinds of conditions in the past and we want to add your home to the list!
We bring years of experience and have helped many Texans sell their homes.
When we do business with other companies, we like to be assured that they have lots of experience and a history of following through with their word. And we wouldn't want you to expect anything less of us!
We buy practically 25-30 homes every year and have never revoked a contract.
We also capitalize on our customer service because more than your property, we care about you.
A business transaction isn't a success in our eyes unless you walk away content with our service and your offer. That's why we avoid making offers without getting a chance to meet up with you and take a look at your home in person.
How does the sales process work?
You start the process when you fill out the contact form and once we get your information, we'll reach out to you as soon as possible.
Next, we'll discuss your expectations and your personalized needs then we'll come by typically within 24 hours and analyze your property. If we decide you're a good fit for us, we'll make you an offer where you then get to decide if we're a good for you too! This process usually takes place within about 7-30 days.
Are you a good fit for us?
If your goals are to sell your home fast and get cash quickly, we could be a great option for you.
In doing so, the offer we give you may be a bit lower than what you could get if a real estate listed your home but in return, you get also get a lot of advantages that save you a significant amount of money.
We bring a few main added benefits:
- You don't need to make any repairs.
- We can buy in as fast as 7 days.
- We'll pay cash.
- There's no fees or commissions.
- We'll handle the closing paperwork and process.
- You won't need to keep your house in "walk through" condition, keep paying utilities, or making home payments while you wait for your home to sell.
The tradeoff to this convenience and fast cash sale is that you won't earn as much for your home. We need to make a profit too, and we'll be responsible for making all the repairs on your home.
So as long as you want to sell really fast, and want a cash offer, you're a good fit for us no matter how beat up or ugly your home is.
You deal with us, not middlemen.
If you choose to work with us, it's important for you to know that you'll be working with only us.
We hear from a lot of homeowners of the frustrations that come with selling through investors that use a middle-man in the sale of their homes, which only adds more hassle and confusion to the process.
That's why when we designed our company, we wanted to be different.
When we make an offer and a homeowner accepts, we are the final buyers. From start to end we'll be alongside you every step of the way.
To be clear, we're not realtors, we buy homes in Cedar Park quickly for cash. It's just that simple.
We'll help you sell your house in Cedar Park fast (as fast as 7 days!).
We understand that not every homeowner is the same which is why we handle each client differently depending on his or her individual needs.
If your circumstances require that we close fast on your home and we're interested in your home, we'll do everything we can to buy your home ASAP.
We're experienced.
Just like you, we're also aware that there are many companies who buy homes quickly in Cedar Park. So why go with us?
For one, we've been buying homes in your backyard since 2011 which is why we're Central Texas' premier home buyer.
Not only have we been doing this for a long time, but we've been doing it a lot! What do we mean by that exactly? Well, we buy 2-3 homes every month which totals to about 25-30 a year.
Since we've been operating out of this area for so long, we also have a solid network of other investors in Cedar Park and know the area, as well as the market, extremely well.
Lastly, I'm a licensed Realtor with a Master's degree in Civil Engineering from Purdue University and was an owner of a HomeVestors franchise for several years.
Part of what makes DBH Holdings who we are is that once we make a deal, we put our money where our mouth is. In 6+ years of being in this business, we have never defaulted on a contract. We're honest and upfront, so if you're having any hesitations we can even show you proof of our funds before you accept our offer.
Reviews & testimonials.
Coming soon! Give us a call in the meantime for references.
What if the offer you make is too low?
Here at DBH Holdings, we understand that your home isn't just a place of residence. It's a reservoir where you've most likely poured countless investments, including your money and time, into over the years. So it makes perfect sense that when you go to sell it, you want to get the highest value possible.
If our offer falls below your expectations, we'll calculate for you approximately what the cost would be to sell your home on the market including closing costs, realtor commissions, monthly housing fees, and etc. Next, we'll break down our offer and compare the two prices to make sure you're getting the absolute best value of your home.
In the case of most of our previous clients, our offer is usually only a few percentage points less than the price point a realtor would list your home at.
How do I sell my house fast, for cash in Cedar Park?
To sell your house fast for cash in Cedar Park:
- Find a home investor that can buy your home in cash.
- Schedule a meeting with that investor to inspect your home.
- Receive and evaluate their offer.
- Close on the sale.
Here's a few questions to ask yourself as you evaluate various home investors in order to make sure you're choosing the best option for you.
Are they local? If not and they operate on a more national or global level, there's a higher possibility that they could lose sight of handling you as an individual and end up treating you more as a number.
Do they charge any hidden commissions or fees? If so, this reveals that they may not be as financially stable as they claim as they should be willing to foot the bill for the entire process.
Are they transparent about reviews? Any company who is proud of their work should showcase reviews, not hide them or make them hard to find. If they're reputable, their reviews should reflect that.
If you browse the home investor market and decide that we'd be a good fit for you, feel free to contact us today so we can get started selling your home!
Make sure you evaluate any cash home buyers in Cedar Park that you're thinking of working with.
Other areas we pay cash for homes in.
Besides Cedar Park, we buy cash homes in these other areas in Texas.

Now here's somewhere a man could kick back and chew over his place in the world and more than likely come to the conclusion that his place in the world was not worth chewing over.
If he was smart, he would figure out those mountains had been around long before he was even a starseed and will be there for many moons after too. Even those rocks sitting beneath the surface of the water have a longer lifespan than he does and in all likelihood, probably provide a far more useful purpose in the world than he does too.
But that's not a good reason to not even try.
Still jet-lagged to hell and back here. More time in the air than on the ground in a short four day period is not good for your equilibrium. I wrote a little - not as much as I would like, but enough. I did The Bad Thing and watched an airplane movie which knocked on to another and then another. Worth talking about are 500 Days Of Summer and Our Kind Of Traitor - both are good investments of your (wasted) time.
I'm not going to tell anything about my trip here. It will make a good extra chapter for the Cities of the Dead collection - it was also the first time I have ever got in an uber car. It's very much the same as being in a regular cab in that you sit in the back while somebody drives you, but the reality is, it's more like being driven somewhere by a friend of a friend in a nice car that somebody gives a damn about. I can see why it works and how it is absolutely the death of the taxi as we know it. Then again, all it takes is one singular uber-murder scandal and the whole world will come crashing down around its ankles.
I wonder if cab drivers moonlight as uber-drivers during their time off.
I picked up a couple of magazines at the airport too. One of them was the latest edition of Wired. Somewhere in there is an article about a company that hosts residential courses for kids who want to be You-Tubers when they grow up. It really is a thing. It says that five years ago, kids mostly wanted to be app developers but now they want to be You-Tubers making money for simply being themselves.
Meanwhile, I mailed my friend Wayne Simmons a pic of his book on a Waterstones shelf yesterday - a pic from the period in which he wrote (and made his name with) horror. On one side of his book was Pride, Prejudice and Zombies and on the other side, a classic edition of Frankenstein. In that 'horror' section, there was a whole collection of Stephen King books but hardly anything else to speak of. No Ramsey Campbell, no Clive Barker and no James Herbert.
Maybe horror fiction is resting. Maybe it's waiting for somebody to come out and lay waste to the world. Maybe Stephen King must die for people to pay attention again... but it didn't make any difference when James Herbert did, so that's a very poor answer to the problem.
Or maybe, horror authors need to become You-Tubers to regain their mojo, though I can't think of anything more boring to watch than a video of somebody staring out of the window before occasionally tapping some keys.
If you took a poll in an average school, I wonder how many kids would say they wanted to be a writer these days and how many of them would say they wanted to be a horror author - and just who would they want to be like? Who are their role models? I wonder exactly how many schools you would have to visit before you found a kid who wanted to be a horror author and said as much without being prompted from a list of previously arranged choices.
Note to self: never buy Wired again. Wired is Cosmopolitan for the Samsung generation. It suggests the new world is built on algorithms and there is nothing we can do about it. It hosts adverts for apps that will close your blinds for you when you're not at home. It promotes great design discussed over many pages for items such as football boots and lamps.
It tells me the world is more connected than ever but does not even begin to explain why everybody feels so fucking alone.
Welcome to the true face of horror in 2016 in which horror writers now freelance for tech mags.

Нейробластома – музыкальный проект созданный в октябре 2012 года. Состав: Роман Нестерович – все инструменты, программирование, голос и тексты. Само название «нейробластома» означает злокачественную опухоль симпатической нервной системы, которая встречается только у детей. Музыкально-стилистических или тематических ограничений проект не имеет. Каждая композиция – это эмоциональный выплеск, мысли и чувства автора. Погружение в подсознание, которое рождает самые необычные и, порой, необъяснимые картины и идеи. Импульсом к созданию композиции может стать любая статья, прочитанная книга, - одним словом все, что заставляет автора задуматься, вызывает желание поделится своими мыслями со слушателями, передать свои впечатления, раскрыться. Эта музыка для созерцания и размышления. Музыку проекта сложно отнести к какому-то одному жанру. В общих чертах это электронная музыка, включающая в себя элементы индустриальной музыки, пост-рока, метала и техно.

Hidden Assets: Creating public spaces in unlikely places
If there is any one lesson that I have learned in my life as a city planner, it is that public spaces have power. It's not just the number of people using them, it's the even greater number of people who feel better about their city just knowing that they are there. — Amanda Burden, former New York City Planning Commissioner
In the late 1990s, the raised railway track that ran through the heart of New York City's Chelsea district was the bane of many residents' existence. The monolithic iron structure hadn't carried rail traffic since 1980, when the last train delivered three carloads of frozen Thanksgiving turkeys to the meatpacking district. Since then it had sat unused by anyone but unruly trespassers and was falling deeper into disrepair each year. Mayor Rudy Guliani vowed to demolish it.
He didn't succeed, of course. Instead, after years of advocacy by a dedicated community group (along with hundreds of millions of dollars committed by Guliani's successor Michael Bloomberg, the federal and state governments, private donors and other sources) the structure was converted into a 2.3 kilometre-long promenade and is known today as one of the world's greatest public space success stories: the Highline Park.
Even for New York City the Highline Park was a large and complex undertaking in both cost and scale. But its fame has made it the poster child of a notion that is, at long last, gaining traction around the world in cities of all sizes: our cities are full of underutilized spaces that, if put to better use, could make the public realm greater for everyone. This is especially critical in a time when there is a greater need for more and better public spaces in our cities than ever, and budgets are ever tighter. We have assets everywhere — we just need to look at our cities a little differently to see them.
A 'barometer' of quality of life
Parks and public spaces are the verandas of city life. They are where we live amongst each other. They are where we experience our cities. It is our public spaces that make our cities more than just a collection of buildings and spaces in between them — they make them places. Even if one lives in the tiniest apartment or the most dilapidated house, everyone's quality of life is impacted when a city has great parks to serve as front yards and public spaces as living rooms.
As Chief of Staff of the Chicago parks district Gia Biagi put it at the Doable City Forum, "Parks are the barometer for public life in a city. When you look at a city, go look at its parks — as many as you can of different varieties — and you'll get a sense of where that city is at in terms of development and quality of life."
And they are levers in nearly every aspect of the well-being of city dwellers. Physically speaking, improving access to quality parks and public spaces drastically increases people's likelihood of physical activity and reduces air pollution. But many studies have also shown that parks and public space access have a drastic effect on mental health and community cohesion. Exposure to nature immediately reduces our stress, gives us energy and enhances our mental alertness, attention, and cognitive performance. Other studies have shown that views of nature make us more generous. In a Chicago public housing complex, residents with direct access to green community spaces were more likely to report feeling a sense of belonging, know their neighbours and consider those neighbours supportive and friendly. Those without green space access were more likely to be rude, lose their tempers and commit crimes. As Charles Montgomery summarizes in Happy City, "Nature is not merely good for us. It brings out the good in us."
Public space hidden in plain sight
The idea of creating more public spaces and parks can sometimes seem daunting with high land costs and low city budgets. But cities don't always need to buy land to start creating new parks, or tear down buildings to create more public spaces. Our cities have far more public space than we often think. By looking at what we already have and imagining it differently, every city can afford to start right away.
Consider that 25 to 30 per cent of the total area of our cities is taken up by publicly-owned roads alone. Many parking spaces and lots are public too, as well as our sidewalks, school grounds, public buildings and swaths of land below raised rail lines, overpasses or other pieces of infrastructure. They may all be managed by different departments, but at the end of the day they all belong to and are paid for by taxpayers. And together they make up an enormous percentage of the city's area.
But much of this space is inaccessible to much of the population. Schools and school grounds are only open to students during the day and are often locked once school closes. The road network that makes up 80 per cent of public land in most cities is only accessible to citizens that are operating cars or sitting on buses. Entire strips of roadway that hug our sidewalks exist for the sole purpose of temporarily storing vehicles. Public buildings close at 5 pm and vacant lots — whether publicly or privately owned — sit empty for years before they are developed.
Seizing the opportunities
It doesn't need to be like that. Many cities of all sizes are beginning to transform these assets into opportunities, using them to carve out room for great public space in the heart of even the densest neighbourhoods.
Take, for example, Melbourne, Australia. A unique planning history left the city's downtown with two distinct grids: one of major streets and one of narrow laneways that run between the buildings. While other cities with similar laneway systems use the laneways mostly for garbage disposal, Melbourne has allowed the back-end rooms of the buildings facing the main street to be converted into tiny bars, restaurants and shops that front onto the laneways, transforming the tiny thoroughfares into a richly woven network of pedestrian-only spaces.
Similarly, the leisurely and enjoyable experience of walking through central Copenhagen comes in large part from the number of streets the city has slowly, decade by decade, converted from auto-centric thoroughfares to dedicated pedestrian spaces starting in the early 1960s. By the end of the decade, the city had already begun to change as a result, with outdoor cafes arriving in the chilly Scandinavian city for the first time, and a culture of liveliness and public gathering in the newly opened spaces.
"Streets are the most underutilized assets in cities," says Jeff Risom of Gehl Architects, the firm responsible for much of Copenhagen's radical transformation. He also points to New York as an example of a city that has recently begun changing this dramatically in its own way by finding unused bits of roadway — unnecessary slip lanes, intersections, too-wide turning lanes, etc. — closing them off to cars and extending the adjacent sidewalks to create a network of miniature public spaces sprinkled all throughout the city. If you ever doubt your city has room to do the same, take a look at your street when it snows and the patterns will likely reveal that your street space is considerably less utilized than you think.
Sometimes all it takes to unlock these resources is simple communication. McAllen, a city of about 130,000 in southern Texas instantly increased its public park space by hundreds of acres by working more closely with the school board to upgrade school playgrounds and develop protocol to leave the fields and facilities unlocked after school hours. New York City later did the same as part of PlaNYC to help reach its goal of having every New Yorker live within a five to ten minute walk of a park by 2030. They added a whopping 290 new parks to the city through the Schoolyards to Playgrounds program.
Many cities in North America have done the same and continue to do so, showing over and over again that the space for place is always there – it just takes a little imagination to find it.

Jon Geeting from This Old City created the term "Sneckdown" – a combination of "snow" and "neckdown" (another name for a curb expansion) – to describe the underutilized spaces that appear in cities when it snows.
Clarence Eckerson Jr. from Streetfilms makes the point that not only do they reveal underutilized space, but also show the effectiveness of the traffic calming devices that could be modeled from their patterns.
As a result, downtown Melbourne is home to a particularly efficient and complex waste collection system.
Melbourne's scheme of alternating wide roads and narrow laneways was originally conceived by Robert Hoddle, a British Surveyor who migrated to Australia in the 1820s, where he plotted out many of the emerging colony's first towns.
The grid plan that he drew up for Melbourne, with main streets one and a half chains wide (30 m — wide enough for a bullock cart to turn right without blocking traffic) and laneways a half chain wide (10 m — just wide enough to be used to service the back of the shops), creating 10 chain square (1 acre) blocks, was created for the sole purpose of easily and efficiently selling off narrow rectangular pieces of land. It is known today as Hoddle's Grid.
There are well over 100 million passenger cars in the United States of America (136,000,000 in 2007). UCLA Urban Planning Professor Dr. Donald Shoup notes in his book The High Cost of Free Parking (which garnered such a cult following it was printed in second edition and bore a robust Facebook following of groupies that call themselves the Shoupistas) that these cars are parked 96 percent of the time. He says that free parking does all of us a disservice, including the people driving. Pricing parking correctly, he says, at "the right price is the lowest price you can charge and still have one or two spaces available on each block" can make cities better for everyone.
Project for Public Spaces is a New York-based nonprofit organization that has worked in cities around the world helping people create and sustain great public spaces since 1975. Of public streets, they write:
"While streets were once a place where we stopped for conversation and children played, they are now the exclusive domain of cars. Even where sidewalks are present along highways and high-speed streets, they feel inhospitable and out of place. Traffic and road capacity are not the inevitable result of growth. They are the product of very deliberate choices that have been made to shape our communities around the private automobile. We have the ability to make different choices–starting with the decision to design our streets as comfortable places for people…
Not so long ago, this idea was considered preposterous in many communities. 'Public space' meant parks and little else. Transit stops were simply places to wait. Streets had been surrendered to traffic for so long that we hardly considered them to be public spaces at all. But now we are slowly getting away from this narrow perception of 'streets as conduits for cars' and beginning to think of 'streets as places.'
The road, the parking lot, the transit terminal—these places can serve more than one mode (cars) and more than one purpose (movement). Sidewalks are the urban arterials of cities—make them wide, well lit, stylish and accommodating with benches, outdoor cafes and public art. Roads can be shared spaces with pedestrian refuges, bike lanes, and on-street parking. Parking lots can become public markets on weekends. Even major urban arterials can be designed to provide for dedicated bus lanes, well-designed bus stops that serve as gathering places, and multi-modal facilities for bus rapid transit or other forms of travel. Roads are places too!
Transportation—the process of going to a place—can be wonderful if we rethink the idea of transportation itself. If we remember that transportation is the journey, but enhancing the community is always our goal.
10 Qualities of a Great Street
PPS has identified ten qualities that, in conjunction with the principles described above, contribute to the success of great streets.
• Attractions & Destinations. Having something to do gives people a reason to come to a place—and to return again and again. When there is nothing to do, a space will remain empty, which can lead to other problems. In planning attractions and destinations, it is important to consider a wide range of activities for: men and women, people of different ages, different times of day, week and year, and for people alone and in groups. Create an enticing path by linking together this variety of experiences.
• Identity & Image. Whether a space has a good image and identity is key to its success. Creating a positive image requires keeping a place clean and well-maintained, as well as fostering a sense of identity. This identity can originate in showcasing local assets. Businesses, pedestrians, and drivers will then elevate their behavior to this vision and sense of place.
• Active Edge Uses. Buildings' bases should be human-scaled and allow for interaction between indoors and out. Preferably, there are active ground floor uses that create valuable experiences along a street for both pedestrians and motorists. For instance, a row of shops along a street is more interesting and generally safer to walk by than a blank wall or empty lot. Sidewalk activity also serves to slow vehicular traffic. At the very minimum, the edge connection should be visual, allowing passers-by to enjoy the activity and aesthetics of the indoor space. These edge uses should be active year-round and unite both sides of the street.
• Amenities. Successful streets provide amenities to support a variety of activities. These include attractive waste receptacles to maintain cleanliness, street lighting to enhance safety, bicycle racks, and both private and public seating options—the importance of giving people the choice to sit where they want is generally underestimated. Cluster street amenities to support their use.
• Management. An active entity that manages the space is central to a street's success. This requires not only keeping the space clean and safe, but also managing tenants and programming the space to generate daily activity. Events can run the gamut from small street performances to sidewalk sales to cultural, civic or seasonal celebrations.
• Seasonal Strategies. In places without a strong management presence or variety of activities, it is often difficult to attract people year-round. Utilize seasonal strategies, like holiday markets, parades and recreational activities to activate the street during all times of the year. If a street offers a unique and attractive experience, weather is often less of a factor than people initially assume.
• Diverse User Groups. As mentioned previously, it is essential to provide activities for different groups. Mixing people of different race, gender, age, and income level ensures that no one group dominates the space and makes others feel unwelcome and out of place.
• Traffic, Transit & the Pedestrian. A successful street is easy to get to and get through; it is visible both from a distance and up close. Accessible spaces have high parking turnover and, ideally, are convenient to public transit and support walking and biking. Access and linkages to surrounding destinations must be a part of the planning process. Automobile traffic cannot dominate the space and preclude the comfort of other modes. This is generally accomplished by slowing speeds and sharing street space with a range of transportation options.
• Blending of Uses and Modes. Ground floor uses and retail activities should spill out into the sidewalks and streets to blur the distinction between public and private space. Shared street space also communicates that no one mode of transportation dominates.
• Neighborhood Preservation. Great streets support the context around them. There should be clear transitions from commercial streets to nearby residential neighborhoods, communicating a change in surroundings with a concomitant change in street character."

Well Travelled Budapest
After a full week of on-location shooting in the Scottish Highlands, the Well Travelled team decided to get a taste of European life and head to Budapest, Hungary for another unbelievable destination feature. Along for the trip was the usual crew of Kelsey Genna, her husband David and irreplaceable stylist Yvette Edwards, we were joined by our Well Travelled Photographer Brendan of Bear Deer Fox and his sweetheart of a wife Rose from Australia, and a new collaborator photographer Marcos Sanchez from Spain! The eclectic group of creative spirits kept the week lively and action-packed, as we hopped from destination to destination and captured the heart and soul of this historic city!
Although Budapest was an unfamiliar location for most of the Well Travelled team, we were lucky enough to work with our bride Bea, who is a Budapest native. She helped us navigate, explore and order just the right types of food and wine. Our time in Budapest was a whirlwind – we spent eight days shooting, but after a while all the experiences blended together into one marvelous adventure.
We couldn't begin to recount the highlights of our Budapest trip. Difficulties are, of course, to be expected. "Arriving in a foreign destination and working with a minimal tool kit is a challenge," our stylist Yvette Edwards recounts, "and a real test of your creativity and quick thinking, no matter how organised you are beforehand." But, as she points out, "One of the things I love about travelling is when I get time to soak up the culture and the energy of a place. I enjoyed all the walking we did and discovering all of the untouched charm that this city has. It's a bit more edgy than other cities I've visited."
Budapest is definitely an edgier city – vibrant and full of life and culture. But it's also been called the Paris of the East by many because of its exquisite Gothic and Neo-Renaissance architecture. We loved how the locals were always out on the streets, socialising and sharing stories. We spent our days exploring the streets by foot and shooting along the way. We spent three days on foot exploring all there is there is to see – our styling team trotting about with Samsonite luggage by their sides and photographers capturing everything along the way. We drank lots of delicious coffee and Hungarian wine, did some shopping, walked through some of the city's gorgeous museums and danced at Heroes square. And of course spent an afternoon recharging at Széchenyi Thermal Bath post-shoot – a thermal bath ornate enough to feel like a museum itself!
Our 'Well Travelled passes' allowed us access to some of the most stunning venues and spaces in Budapest. The Writer's Villa is one of the most gorgeous private homes we've ever set foot in, as is its counterpart Brody Studios - a trendy members club. Fisherman's Bastion, where we shot the wedding ceremony was absolutely magical and forever memorable. Not to mention cruising down the Danube in Dunarama's luxury speedboats and spending a night out on the town in the infamous ruin bars. Our trip was complete with a night at the Aria High Sky Note Bar, taking in the incredible views.
We absolutely fell in love with Budapest and all the city had to offer and are already searching for ways to visit again. As our trip drew to a close, we packed up our Samsonite luggage and hopped on a train to Vienna, but more on that soon…

Cardinal Dolan and Catholic Financial Life
I remember walking into John Borgen's (CFL Vice President) office back in 2014. He pulled out a devotional that he just had printed up. "Things like this are a win-win!" he said. "It's something that I can give my members that both builds relationships and grows their faith!" He shared with us their mission and how they were founded by caring for widows after the civil war and how that care has evolved.
John was showing us around home office in Milwaukee while we talked about ways to collaborate. "We're building relationship for the long-term," he told us. That's not a profound concept, but coming from youth ministry, it was different from what we were used to. In youth ministry, we get teens for a limited amount of time. They graduate and often move on. We were used to trying to learn the names of the new freshman and finding out what was new and trendy at the moment.
Long-term. It was true. That was the beginning of a long-term relationship between our ministry and Catholic Financial Life. We became members. They sponsored tours so that we could get the bus. We bought life insurance. They invited us to conferences.
I have to say that they are the real deal. I was impressed with John that day in his office. I was more impressed when Fidelity was born. I had just seen a go-fund-me campaign a funeral for a child with her same condition. It reminded me of our life insurance policies that I have for our other children. I emailed my broker, Joe. "Fidelity has Prader-Willi Syndrome," I told him. "I'm not going to bother to send over her personal information, because it is likely non-insurable. Can you just look it up and let me know."
Joe responded to me quickly, "It considered an uninsurable condition, but we just launched a program that will allow her to have coverage." That was another example that proved to me that their mission was not the bottom line, but to care for and protect families.
They have history, 150 years of history, to be exact. That is how they get to have multiple Archbishops and a Cardinal there for Saturday evening Mass. It was an honor to play music at Mass with Cardinal Dolan and the Archbishops, but it was an even greater honor to be a part of the greater community of Catholic Financial Life. It was so fun to see so many familiar faces of CFL members who have hosted concerts in the past and supported our ministry in so many ways. We look forward to many years to come! Happy 150 years!

About our company
Boatsters was founded in 2015 by Nick Gelevert. It wasn't a big surprise that he started with a boating business, his grandfather did the same 40 years ago when he founded Lengers Yachts; currently exclusive dealer of Sanlorenzo, Prestige & SACS yachts.
From the moment Nick could walk, he had the privilege of attending all the boat shows in the beautiful harbours of Mallorca, Cannes & Monaco, gradually getting to understand the nautical industry.
While walking through the harbours year after year, he noticed something interesting. All boats were lying still, even during high season with beautiful sunny days. In 2015 he came up with the solution, an online platform where boat owners can rent out their boats directly to renters, offering a full-service platform to make boating more accessible, affordable and enjoyable for everyone.
Two years later it's a lot more than just a platform connecting boat owners to renters, the platform became a mature industry solution for boat and yacht owners, local boat rental companies and global charter fleets. Not just in Europe, the company is currently active in 63 countries divided over all continents in the world. There are 10.000+ live bookable boats, directly with a boat or yacht owner or through one of the global charter partners.
The team exists of young entrepreneurial professionals with an out of the box mindset, in total 17 men and women are working hard to become the leading player in the boating industry differentiating themselves by innovating on marketing, technical and strategy level.
Boatsters has a unique vision about the future; besides their goal to become a global player, they're creating the life of a 'Boatster'. Living the life of a Boatster, is living the life you really want, enjoying your day, every day.
It's about creating your dream job; working hard in combination with fun while traveling to the most beautiful destinations in the world. That's the dream of the company, and they have a dedicated mission to make the dream come true.

An Introduction to Cotton
Written by Aurora Hinz, Edited by Esa Staff
Cotton is a truly amazing crop and one that almost everyone has exposure to on a daily basis. Since this crop is so heavily relied upon by the fashion industry, esa believes consumers deserve to know what's really going into making their garments.
For example, most of us know that America's historic use of the crop is filled with slavery and human trafficking, but were you aware that this same kind of inhumane treatment may have been used to make your new favorite t-shirt? This is something you may not have known, which is why we're here! You deserve to know what is truly going on behind the scenes of the textile production because no one wants to directly or indirectly support industries that rely on exploitation.
Cotton itself is a very unique crop. Unknown to many, this crop is actually a food source as well as a textile fiber (Kansas Farming Bureau, n.d). In fact, it remains one of the most used textile fibers all over the world (Textile School, 2014). The white fluffy stuff that we know as cotton, is actually the cotton boll that grows around the seeds of the cotton plant. The fibers in cotton are mainly made of cellulose that is composed of concentric layers. There can be up to 20,000 fiber attached to each boll of cotton, which is then spun into breathable threads that we use for much of our textile production (Textile School, 2014).
The cotton plant has been used by ancient civilizations all over the world since, basically, the beginning of time. The plant is native to tropical or subtropical climates, mainly being grown in the Americas, India, and Africa (Textile School, 2014). Its use has even been tracked all the way back to 3600 BC in Tehuacán Valley, Mexico. It wasn't brought to the rest of Europe until the 8th century, after Spain's Muslim conquest. By the middle ages, cotton was of common use. The Enlightenment and the Renaissance led to the fiber being highly popular in Europe due to a shift in the middle-class's new values of cleanliness and fashionability (History of Clothing, 2018). Workers were typically exploited throughout the history of cotton. This, of course, includes the popularization of the slave trade, child labor, and unethical working conditions.
In 1793, the American cotton industry began to boom thanks to Eli Whitney's invention of the cotton gin. The cotton gin made separating the cotton bolls from the seeds a quicker and more seamless process, meaning that more and more cotton could be produced at higher speeds. Because of Eli's new machine, the United States was producing the majority of the world's cotton by the 1830s. This then led to the expansion of slavery in the United States, and, "by 1850s slaves made up 50% of the population of the states which produced the majority of cotton in the US: Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, and Louisiana (The History of Clothing, 2018)".
Today, most of the cotton we use and own from the textile is grown, processed, and manufactured overseas. The use of slavery and exploitative labor that has no regard for the health or safety of the laborers is still a popular way of harvesting cotton in some countries. One of the countries with a very controversial cotton industry is Uzbekistan. In a follow-up article, we will expand on this industry and interview a family that has experienced this industry first-hand.

text: CHICAGO (CBS.MW) -- U.S. mortgage rates followed bond yields significantly higher in the week ending Thursday, Freddie Mac said, pushing the rate on the benchmark 30-year loan to its highest level in 8 months. The 30-year loan hit 6.34 percent, up from 6.12 percent a week earlier. That is the highest the national average rate has been since it was at 6.44 percent on Sept. 4, 2003. It also marked the eighth consecutive week the rate has risen. The national average on the 15-year loan, a popular refinancing choice, also shot up, to 5.72 percent from 5.47 percent.

Damaging High Groundwater Response Grants
High groundwater is resulting in damage to private and public property and agricultural land in certain areas of the South Platte River Basin. This is caused by a combination of natural geology and hydrology, average to above-average precipitation, increased recharge for augmentation purposes, decreased groundwater pumping and changes to how surface water is used on the South Platte. HB 15-1178 established the Emergency Dewatering Grant Program, which directed the Colorado Water Conservation Board (CWCB) to administer funds for emergency dewatering of areas in and around Gilcrest and Sterling. After several projects under this funding source, it was determined that the area of concern needed to include the entire South Platte Basin. Section 10 of HB17-1248 provided this expansion to include the South Platte River Basin and opened up project types for construction, maintenance, and monitoring of dewatering infrastructure. SB 18-218 provides additional funds for these purposes.
