5 Years of CELI: A Conversation with CELI Alum + Board Member, Joe Indvik
Joe's favorite place on Earth
About Joe
I'm a farm kid, former climate change skeptic, entrepreneur, and currently the head of clean energy finance at RE Tech Advisors. I also recently joined the CELI board. I believe that you can't power a spacefaring civilization with fossil fuels, so we better get moving!
So far, which has been your favorite clean energy work experience and why?
Just two years out of undergrad, while at ICF, my colleague Nick and I had to complete a greenhouse gas inventory for a company with 400 branches—in less than two weeks. During the second week, we spent 90-100 hours holed up in a conference room, blasting electronic dance music. Despite the insanity, I had a ton of fun because I was with one of my best friends and a person who motivates me professionally and personally. More than any other, this moment taught me that the people you surround yourself with are by far the biggest determinant of your success and how much fun you have achieving that success.
About a year after this you started your own company. What do you think is the best way for someone to start their company?
For me, having a full-time job was the best platform to launch a start-up. Many people have this idea that entrepreneurs are people who recklessly decide to quit their job, fly to San Francisco, and cobble together enough money to start their company. In reality, most start-up ideas evolve gradually over months or years. One of the best ways to cultivate your start-up idea is by keeping your full-time job for a while, especially if it's in a related field. That way if it takes 6 months or more to get your idea going, you have the resources to support yourself, while also gaining relevant experience.
I know you have ambitious goals to help scale clean energy through better financing. Would you be able to share with us some of your vision on how to achieve this?
In a nutshell, my goal is to make clean energy finance boring. It needs to be so commonplace that most people don't even need to think about it anymore. Think of getting a car loan or a mortgage: Those things are just part of everyday life, and most families and businesses in the U.S. will at some point have one. In the early 20th century in the U.S., it was hard for the average individual to get financing for a home. With the advent of the modern mortgage, home ownership went up dramatically because financing became more accessible. My vision for clean energy finance is that we get to something similar for energy efficiency and renewable technologies. That's one of the reasons I think energy-as-a-service and property-assessed clean energy (PACE) financing are so exciting—they integrate seamlessly with the way buildings already operate.
"Fostering Entrepreneurship and Community" Panel, George Washington University, Washington D.C., January 2017
"If you feel you have an entrepreneurial spirit, but not necessarily a start-up idea, you can start within your current organization."
What does entrepreneurship mean to you? Any advice for those who are trying to embrace it?
There are many different types of entrepreneurs. We need to tell a more holistic story, particularly when it comes to clean energy innovation. Being an entrepreneur is not necessarily about founding you own company. Entrepreneurial thinking is also incredibly valuable to bring into any existing company or organization (i.e. "intrapreneurship"). If you feel you have an entrepreneurial spirit, but not necessarily a start-up idea, you can start within your current organization.
In terms of advice, I encourage aspiring entrepreneurs to focus on the three things that I think are the biggest predictors of success: vision, effectiveness, and humility.
Vision is the ability to tell a compelling story about what you want to do, and to get others (employees, investors, and the market in general) to believe it.
Effectiveness is the ability to sit down and execute on that vision in a disciplined way.
Humility is required to be great. No one person has all or even most of the answers, so the best entrepreneurs routinely surround themselves with people who are smarter than them.
Do you have an example of an inspiring entrepreneur for you?
I'm going to pick an example beyond the typical Gates-Zuckerberg-Jobs-Musk circle and go with William Kamkwamba, whose story I read about in The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind. He was a young man who lived in a village in Malawi with poor access to electricity. He decided he was going to build a wind turbine to help power his home. Using a book on energy and some trial and error, he did it, then quickly became world-famous as his story spread via the Internet. His story is a testament both to his incredible motivation and to how entrepreneurship is easier now than ever before.
'We are part of something exciting that is going to have its own chapter in history books 200 years from now ("The Great Energy Transition of the 21st Century") and that's pretty cool!"
What do you think is the biggest opportunity facing young clean energy leaders? Any advice for them?
The clean energy industry is now so big and complex and interdependent, it's hard to pick one single opportunity. We cannot get to a clean energy future without technology, policy, and markets working together—they are all critical.
We should appreciate living in a time when we are undergoing a fundamental energy transition unlike anything in human history. Our generation can say that when we were born most of the world's energy came from fossil fuels, and when we die, if we're successful, most of the world's energy will come from renewable or sustainable sources. That's pretty incredible! The closest thing in history is the industrial revolution, but even that wasn't quite as far-reaching in its implications as the transition to clean energy. It can be easy to feel disconnected when our day-to-day jobs involve spreadsheets or sales deals, but never forget that it's in support of a broader mission. We are part of something exciting that is going to have its own chapter in history books 200 years from now ("The Great Energy Transition of the 21st Century") and that's pretty cool!
What is the most useful skill or piece of knowledge that you learned during your CELI fellowship? And, why?
Learning about power markets and utilities. Though I've worked tangentially with utilities throughout my career, I had never received a top-to-bottom primer on the current state and fascinating history of the industry. When you seek to change how a system operates, it's critical to understand how it came to be. I also got a huge amount of value from the financing session lead by Andrew Gilligan—despite being experienced in clean energy project finance, I still learned a ton from that session. There is a lot of value to get from CELI no matter your experience level.
What is your CELI story? How are you still involved today?
I started as a fellow in Spring 2016. I had heard about CELI many years before and got really excited about the organization but didn't have time to do the fellowship until then. I was originally excited about the content but I stayed for the community.
After finishing my fellowship, I continued volunteering: speaking at a couple of CELI events, fundraising for the 5k, and running the business pitch workshop as part of the fellowship program. About 6 months ago I was asked to be the first CELI alum to join the Board of Directors and represent past and present fellows. One of my imperatives as a new board member is to make sure CELI continues to put its community first, and to help translate ideas from that community into new initiatives. So tell me your ideas!
"The value of the CELI community comes from being a large, inclusive, and extremely active group of experts from every corner of the energy industry… The CELI network is the single most capable, diverse, brilliant, and engaged group of leaders I've ever encountered. Without fail, they help each other and lift each other up."
What do you think is the value of the CELI community?
The value of the CELI community comes from being a large, inclusive, and extremely active group of experts from every corner of the energy industry. When you pose a question to the CELI listserv, you routinely get 10+ responses within the day. It's a magical thing to watch! The CELI network is the single most capable, diverse, brilliant, and engaged group of leaders I've ever encountered. Without fail, they help each other and lift each other up.
CELI 5k, Washington D.C., 2016
"If the kind, capable, and motivated people of CELI are the future of energy leadership, then surely it will be a bright one."
Is there a specific message you want to share with the CELI community?
Most of us in CELI came to clean energy because we want to make the world a better place—whether that is improving energy access, reducing pollution, or building a more resilient energy system. With our constant political gyrations and the climate change impacts that are happening now, it can be hard to stay positive. But if you need a source of optimism, look no further than the CELI community. Listen to their interesting stories and see how they are solving these challenges. If the kind, capable, and motivated people of CELI are the future of energy leadership, then surely it will be a bright one.
If you are a former CELI fellow and you have not taken full advantage of this network, we are excited to welcome you back and be a part of this community anytime! Come to our events, like emPOWER in October 24-25 (CELI's first conference). Take the opportunity to connect with the CELI listserv. Invite someone out for coffee. Communities like this don't come along every day.
Also, let me know if you have suggestions for how CELI can be better at: firstname.lastname@example.com

When getting ready for an outdoor session with a professional photographer – it is not always easy to decide on what to wear. You don't want to look overly dressy but you don't want to be super casual either. What if your favorite top looks strange on camera? How do you decide between jeans or a dress?
While there are no hard and fast rules to what looks best in an outdoor photo shoot, there are a few guidelines that everyone should know before going to a session that will make everyone look good and feel good in front of the camera.
Florida is called the Sunshine State for good reason. And while the ample sunshine makes for beautiful photographs outside – it can very quickly beat down anyone who stays in direct sun light for multiple hours. That along with humidity at certain times of the year can make for a very hot shoot very fast.
First of all – be sure to wear sunscreen, especially on your face and arms! And bring a bottle along to the shoot to reapply every few hours, depending on the length of the shoot. The Florida sun does not need much time to cause damage to the skin.
The sun and the heat also mean that light clothing is your friend at a photo shoot outside. Think linens and cottons! Leave behind clothing made out of synthetic fibers like polyester. And avoid fabric that will not breathe in the heat – such as silk or velvet.
Light, breathable clothing will keep you cooler, longer out in the sun. You'll not only feel more comfortable, but you will look more comfortable and happier in your photos!
It's important to remember that your clothing is not the most important thing in a photograph. You are with a professional photographer to take pictures of you and your loved ones! The focus should be on the faces in the pictures – and your clothing should not steal that focus.
Avoid clothing with loud patterns. Simple stripes or delicate polka dots can of course look lovely on camera! But keep such patterns very minimal, and in neutral colors. Paisley and plaid, on the other hand, can be left at home.
Similarly, don't wear clothing and accessories with a lot of sparkly or shiny detailing to them. Metals, gems and other reflective pieces can not only distract from your face and your surroundings, but they can also be difficult to capture nicely on camera. Follow the rule of keeping your outfit fairly simple (and shine free)!
However, the most important rule of all may be to pick an outfit that makes you feel good and comfortable. Wearing clothing that reflects your taste and personality will make for the best photographs!
It can be tempting to dress way fancier than you usually do or go out and buy completely new outfits for everyone in the photograph. And while new, sometimes coordinated clothing can sometimes be a fun direction for a photo shoot – it is also absolutely perfect to wear what makes you and your loved ones feel your best!
South Florida offers some gorgeous settings for outdoor photographs – be sure to dress for success! Get in touch with me today to talk more about how to use the great outdoors to best capture the beauty of you and the ones you love!

2016.01.06 – POD – Technology Day – DJ Trackstyle -Ambientasia
Podcast: Play in new window | Download (Duration: 6:00 — 5.5MB)
2016.01.06 – Technology Day
Featuring Ambientasia by DJ Trackstyle
Today is National Technology Day. Personally, I have a serious love-hate relationship with technology. I love to try to use it but I hate fighting with my old PCs to make them work.
I also love applied technology when it comes to music. I am not one of those who feel that synth music is soulless. I have been around synthesizers since the days of monophonic patch cord Moogs. I still have a DX7 sitting my studio and love electronic music.
It seemed appropriate to go with a synth song today. I found this artist way back in the day at the now non-existent Podsafe Music Network. I am going to spin Ambientasia by DJ Trackstyle
While most of the links in my notes are now useless, a few Google searches showed me that the DJ is still out there. You can find DJ Trackstyle at the links below.
Thanks for listening and downloading. Please remember to support the indie musicians.
Steve Benjamins – Sightlines
Steve Benjamins – Sightlines
Steve Benjamins is a musician from Toronto. His latest release Sightlines is an ear pleasing collection of downtempo and indie pop. While his music does have the sound of these genres, this work is eclectic, unique and fresh. His voice is both powerful and soothing. His compositions leave the listener wishing to hear more. In my opinion, this six track EP, his third release, is his best… I mean that, on discovery of Steve, I listened to everything I could find by him on the web.
Steve's combination of vocal and musical styles keep it mellow while maintaining steady movement and energy. He keeps it interesting, you won't want to stop listening.
There are tracks that flow very much like a Philip Glass work with simple almost monophonic repetitive melodies, others layered for an orchestral feel, at times reminiscent of Mike and the Mechanics, even very unique tracks with a discordant battle going on between the instruments and, best of all, doing it all by creating distinct sound of his own.
A Trash Secret – A Musical Junk Kickstarter Project
An Interesting Take on Trash
I got wind of this via Cory Doctorow over at Boing! Boing! I would encourage you to simply check out the 6 minute video because the creator of this project not only explains it well but you can see, hear and feel his passion. He also shares many of the "inventions" he is already using for his Kickstarter Project, A Trash Secret.

The Dead Good and Thirteen Polaroids
A Kick Ass New EP by a New Musical Duo, Introducing "The Dead Good"
There are days when I really love my inbox. Then there are other days where "we listen to bad music so you don't have to" rings so loud that I hate even having to touch the emails to delete them.
Today was not one of those days, thank you Sonny for letting us know about your band and your Thirteen Polaroids EP ! This duo, self-described as a "German-Italian alternative rock duo", formed in Los Angeles has a really solid début EP.
Be Afraid, Be Very Afraid, The LumpCast has Returned…..
Yes, some things may best be left dead, but The Ol' LumpCast is not one of them. Be sure and tune in weekly on Fridays at 10 PM for the podcast that started it all for Lumpy.
I know it has been a long while and the LumpCast has been more or less defunct. Now that Meshelly and I have our groove down on Indie Soup and others at Indie Nation are learning to do more, it is time to bring it back from the dead. Join me as I spin all kinds of music but lean more to house and dance.

For Lumpy, Christmas is for the children. My family celebrates it on Christmas Eve and I spent most of my Christmas Day organizing Christmas Music. This podcast originally streamed live on Christmas Day, it is Christmas Music with only a tad bit of chat in between. Merry Christmas and enjoy: Special kudos and thanks to Cleta and Knowles217 for joining me on this holiday special. Here is a list of what we played in three and half hour show.

Greetings and Happy Christmas Listeners,
Welcome to our first annual Christmas party, held both on-line and in the Cold Crank Studio in Cleveland, Ohio. At one point in time during this three and a half hour live stream almost every member of the staff was able to join us.
The party thought started rather impromptu when some of us locally got together to do some Christmas IDs for the stream. Then Cleta got busy at geekshed and got in touch with a few of the other regulars. Regrettably we did not manage to contact everyone due to the impromptu nature of it. So if you didn't get and invite, don't be offended, that is just the way it worked out this time.

Greetings Indie Nation listeners,
Yes, it is that time of the year again where the malls and stores will deafen you with the same thirty versions of six Christmas songs. To be honest, Lumpy feels more like Scrooge this year and is having a hard time getting in the spirit. The reasons are pretty simple:
- They started the Christmas music before Halloween
- They are playing the same music year after year in the same order
- I don't have a job
- They are setting up multiple Santas at the exits, asking money for multiple causes… man the kids are going to be confused… it is worse than all the Krishna's at the airport
- Last and largest, THERE IS NO SNOW

HealthWiki > A Book for Midwives > Chapter 12: Pushing: stage 2 of labor > What happens during stage 2 of labor
|Genitals bulge
|Genitals relax
During stage 2, when the baby is high in the vagina, you can see the mother's genitals bulge during contractions. Her anus may open a little. Between contractions, her genitals relax.
Each contraction (and each push from the mother) moves the baby further down. Between contractions, the mother's womb relaxes and pulls the baby back up a little (but not as far as he was before the contraction).
After a while, you can see a little of the baby's head coming down the vagina during contractions. The baby moves like an ocean tide: in and out, in and out, but each time closer to birth.
|Each contraction brings the baby closer to birth.
|During a contraction, the baby's head shows.
|Between contractions, the baby's head goes back inside the vagina.
|A little more of the baby's head shows with each contraction.
|The head slips back but not as far as before.
When the baby's head stretches the vaginal opening to about the size of the palm of your hand, the head will stay at the opening — even between contractions. This is called crowning.
Once the head is born, the rest of the body usually slips out easily with 1 or 2 pushes.
How the baby moves through the vagina
Babies change position as they move through the vagina. These pictures show only part of the mother's body, so you can more easily see how the baby moves inside.
|This is what happens inside:
|This is what you see outside:
|First the baby tucks his head down, chin to chest. This makes it easier for the head to fit through the mother's pelvis.
|The baby's head is squeezed and changes shape as it comes through the mother's pelvis. The baby turns his face toward the mother's back.
|The baby begins to lift his chin when he gets near the vaginal opening. This is called extension.
|The baby lifts his chin more when his head crowns.
|The baby continues to lift his chin as the head comes out. This way the head is born smoothly.
|The baby continues lifting his chin until his head is born. At first, the baby's face is still toward the mother's back, while his shoulders are turned at an angle.
|Soon the baby's head turns toward the mother's leg. Now the baby's face is lined up with his shoulders.
|Then the baby's whole body turns inside the mother. The baby's shoulders are now straight up and down. The baby faces the mother's leg.
|The rest of the baby slips out easily.
|Note: Babies move this way if they are positioned head-first, with their backs toward their mothers' bellies. But many babies do not face this way. A baby who faces the mother's front, or who is breech, moves in a different way. Watch each birth closely to see how babies in different positions move differently.

Brooke + Gwynn | Pittsburgh Engagement Portrait Photographer – Engagement Photo Session | Emily Hixon Photography
Not too long ago, I received an email from a high school classmate of mine. Brooke and I played softball together when we were little girls as well. Time goes by so quickly! When Brooke told me that she was engaged and looking for a wedding photographer, I was honored that she thought of me. After meeting with her and her fiancé, Gwynn, I was excited to be a part of their wedding day.
These two really love each other. For their engagement session, they brought along the other love of their lives: Scout. Scout is a rescue dog. Gwynn and Brooke rescued her a few years back. Now, they cannot imagine life without her. With the help of Brooke's mom, we got some really great shots of these three. What a fun engagement session!
I cannot wait to photograph their September 2013 wedding! Enjoy.

Brother and Sister | Children Portrait Photographer – Washington, PA
Last week, I headed over to Washington to photograph these cute siblings! Whenever I first arrived, I was greeted by a torrential downpour of rain! I thought for sure that this session doomed. Thankfully, it was just a quick burst of rain followed by sunshine.
I had a really great time photographing these two. They were fun, energetic and willing to do just about anything! Even the family's dog got in on a few photos (wait until you see his expression!).
A Little Dirt on Her Toes | Baby Photographer – Pittsburgh, PA
Spring is here, the trees and flowers are blooming, the grass is green, and the sun is shining! We could not have asked for a more gorgeous morning for a mini session last week. It was nearly 80 degrees and sunny.
Just a short time ago, I held a mini session giveaway contest on my Facebook page and blog. The winner was a familiar face! I saw this precious baby girl and her mom in November for some holiday portraits. Although it doesn't seem that long ago, I could certainly tell that little Ella has been busy growing over the last few months!
She was dressed in her spring colored shirt and hair bow with the cutest little pink threaded jeans which were finished off with the a brand new pair of spring sandals! I absolutely loved her sandals, but she did not care for her sandals much. Her poor little toes kept getting wet from the dewy grass and collecting dirt from the ground. Once she was cleaned up, she was good to go!
Enjoy this sweet spring baby 🙂

Puppy Love | Couple Portrait Session – Washington, PA
Last weekend, I had the opportunity to catch up with a previous coworker of mine. We had been talking about scheduling this session since probably August! Thankfully, when the day finally arrived, the weather cooperated and the light was beautiful.
We spent the morning at the park wandering around looking for great spots to take photos. I think at one point we were knee high in leaves! We even went for a small and unplanned hike up a hill to take some photos on a log. The dogs were loving spending time outside frolicking through the leaves. Their fur blends right in with all of the beautiful fall colors! I think that we all had a fun morning photo shoot! Thanks, again Bethany and Scott!
Enjoy these pretty fall portraits!
Website Launch | Emily Hixon Photography – Pittsburgh, PA
Some pretty exciting and cool things are going on here at Emily Hixon Photography. It has been one full year since I started my business. To celebrate the one year anniversary of my business, I am launching a brand new website, logo, blog, and Facebook page. I am so very excited to finally share with all of you what I have been working on for the last month and a half. My new adorable logo was specially designed by the talented graphic artist Mandy, of Style Me Sweet Design. Thanks, Mandy! Check out my website at www.emilyhixon.com. I hope that you enjoy the new look as much as I do!
As a thank you, I will be offering a 50% discount on all session fees and gift certificates. Take advantage of this great deal and book that portrait session you have been contemplating… or give the gift of photography to a friend or loved one!
Thank you all so much for your support! I cannot wait to see where this next year will take me. For now, I will leave you with a brand new image you will find on my website – photo courtesy of my talented photographer boyfriend and my trusty camera.
Purdy | Baby Portrait Session – Washington, PA
I guess you can say that I got bit by the photography bug last night. I was looking out my window admiring the way the light was hitting the trees, when I realized that I needed to have another photo session ASAP. I posted on my photography Facebook page asking if anyone wanted a session tonight. Right away, a familiar face replied. My sister's best friend and I have been talking about getting some photos of her little girl. The timing was perfect. It seemed as though this session was meant to be.
Although it was excruciatingly humid, we made it almost an hour! Despite many bug bites, a few slips and falls, lots of sweat, and a few breaks, we got some beautiful images of this sweet little girl.
The Lantern, the Hat, and the Cup | Individual Portrait Session – Washington, PA
It's been such a busy week! Now that I have a moment, it's time for a new post.
I cannot believe how quickly the leaves are changing and falling. Everyday I notice a tree in my yard that has either changed colors or lost its leaves. Fall is such a beautiful time of year but very short-lived.
Last weekend, I went out for round 2 of my photo session with Scott. Our session was quick but fun! If the weather is nice again this weekend, I'll be back out with him again and maybe even one of his friends.
I hope you enjoy this little sneak peak.
– More to come this weekend 🙂

Los Angeles, CA (October 1, 2018) dick clark productions and ABC, in partnership with YouTube Music, today announced that multi-platinum selling band Panic! At The Disco will pay tribute to legendary British rock band, Queen, with a special performance of the award-winning hit, "Bohemian Rhapsody." This performance will take place at the Qudos Bank Arena in Sydney, Australia as part of the "2018 American Music Awards." The song, written by Freddie Mercury for the band's 1975 album A Night at the Opera, remains one of Queen's most popular and is often considered one of the greatest rock songs of all time. Rami Malek, Joe Mazzello and Gwilym Lee, cast of the upcoming 20th Century Fox Queen biopic Bohemian Rhapsody, will introduce Panic! At The Disco's performance live from the awards show in Los Angeles. Nominated this year for Favorite Artist – Alternative Rock, this will mark Panic! At The Disco's first performance on the AMAs. Hosted by Tracee Ellis Ross, the "2018 American Music Awards," the world's largest fan-voted awards show, will broadcast live from the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles on Tuesday, Oct. 9 at 8:00 p.m. EDT, on ABC.
"If there is one song that I wish I would've written myself, it's "Bohemian Rhapsody," said Panic! At The Disco frontman, Brendon Urie. "Freddie Mercury's genius is clear from the very first note to the last and I'm honored to be able to pay tribute to Queen with my performance."
Panic! At The Disco joins previously announced performers benny blanco with Halsey and Khalid, Cardi B featuring Bad Bunny and J Balvin, Mariah Carey, Ciara featuring Missy Elliott, Dua Lipa, Post Malone featuring Ty Dolla $ign, and Carrie Underwood, as well as a moving tribute to the Queen of Soul, Aretha Franklin.
Panic! At the Disco released their #1 album "Pray For The Wicked" in June (via Fueled by Ramen/DCD2 Records) off the heels of their critically acclaimed fifth album, "Death Of A Bachelor." The album debuted at #1 on the Billboard 200 Chart and was nominated for Best Rock Album at the 2017 GRAMMY® Awards. The RIAA platinum selling release was the highest selling rock album and fourth-highest selling album released in 2016, according to Nielsen Soundscan. "DOAB" has also spawned RIAA certified gold singles "Hallelujah," "LA Devotee," Don't Threaten Me With A Good Time," and platinum singles "Death Of A Bachelor," "Emperor's New Clothes," and "Victorious." Panic! At The Disco have been nominated for multiple awards, including the GRAMMYS, Teen Choice Awards, Alternative Press Music Awards, Kerrang! Awards and VMAs. At the 2006 VMAs they won "Video of the Year" for their smash "I Write Sins Not Tragedies."
Bohemian Rhapsody is a foot-stomping celebration of Queen, their music and their extraordinary lead singer Freddie Mercury. Freddie defied stereotypes and shattered convention to become one of the most beloved entertainers on the planet. The film traces the meteoric rise of the band through their iconic songs and revolutionary sound. They reach unparalleled success, but in an unexpected turn Freddie, surrounded by darker influences, shuns Queen in pursuit of his solo career. Having suffered greatly without the collaboration of Queen, Freddie manages to reunite with his bandmates just in time for Live Aid. While bravely facing a recent AIDS diagnosis, Freddie leads the band in one of the greatest performances in the history of rock music. Queen cements a legacy that continues to inspire outsiders, dreamers and music lovers to this day.

U.S. stocks sold off on Tuesday with the S&P 500 and Dow suffering their biggest one-day declines in three weeks. A sharp increase in the dollar spurred global investors to dump riskier assets such as equities and commodities, while driving them into havens such as Treasurys.
The S&P 500 SPX, -0.39% closed off 21.86 points, or 1%, lower at 2,104.20, with all 10 main sectors declining. The Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA, -0.95% dropped 190.48 points, or 1%, to 18,041.54, while the Nasdaq Composite Index COMP, -0.83% ended the session 56.61 points lower, or down 1.1%, at 5,032.75.
U.S. markets were closed for Memorial Day on Monday.
The dollar DXY, +0.05% rallied on the back of the inflation data on Friday and hawkish comments from Federal Reserve Chairwoman Janet Yellen, warning that a rate hike is still in the cards for 2015.
Oil and gold prices tumbled on the dollar's move, while Treasurys rose, sending the yield on the 10-year note down 7 basis points to 2.14%. A spike in the CBOE Volatility index VIX, -0.07%, which measures implied volatility on the S&P 500, suggests investors are increasingly nervous about a possible pullback.
JJ Kinahan, chief strategist at TD Ameritrade, said a sudden spike in the dollar following remarks made Friday by Fed Chairwoman Janet Yellen continued to hit markets, damping earnings expectations from companies already struggling from falling revenues due to currency fluctuations.
But Kinahan stressed that the overall trend is still positive in the market. "The spike in the Vix means people are finally buying protection and also shifting into Treasuries again. But until we breach 2,100, Tuesday's move is not a big deal," he noted.
Colin Cieszynski, chief market strategist at CMC Markets, said speculation that rate hikes can come sooner are back.
"The Federal Reserve is data-dependent and with all the weaker data during the winter, investors had previously written off rate hikes this summer, but stronger data is shifting those expectations," Cieszynski said.
Cieszynski also noted that seasonally the period between end of May and the next earnings season is usually weak for stock prices.
Positive readings on recent economic data, including a pick up in inflation and job gains, have stoked fears that an interest-rate hike may come sooner than anticipated, unnerving some investors. On Tuesday, a report on durable-goods orders showed signs of revival in business investment in April.

U.S. house prices rose 0.9% in March to take the year-over-year advance to 5%, according to the S&P/Case-Shiller 20-city composite index released Tuesday. With seasonal adjustment, prices were up by 1%, the report said.
New-home sales climbed by more than expected, suggesting improvement in the housing market after sluggish winter months.
Separately, consumer confidence edged higher in May, also topping economists forecasts.
Fed speakers: The Federal Reserve could take a slower approach to raising interest rates if weaker-than-expected growth overseas affects the U.S. economy, Fed Vice Chairman Stanley Fischer said.
In a speech on Monday, Fischer also said he sees the Fed's short-term rate at 3.25%-4% in three to four years.
Movers and shakers: Shares of Time Warner Cable Inc. US:TWC surged 7.3%, after Charter Communications Inc. CHTR, -0.43% said it w buy the cable-TV company for $55 billion in a cash-and-stock deal. Charter shares were up 2.5%.
Rival Cablevision Systems Corp. US:CVC and Comcast Corp. CMCSA, -0.78% also rose 3.5% and 1.2% respectively.
First Solar, Inc. FSLR, -0.05% share plunged 7.3% after RBC cut the rating to underperform from sector perform.
For more on the day's notable movers, read Movers & Shakers column.
Other markets: European stock markets SXXP, +0.39% closed lower as investors continued to track developments in Greece's bailout negotiations. The euro traded as low as $1.0877 on Tuesday, its lowest level since April 28, down from $1.0978 on Monday.
Asian markets closed mixed, while oil CLN25, -50.71% and metals prices were hit by the dollar rally. Oil futures settled 2.8% lower at $58.03 a barrel, while gold prices dropped 1.4%, to settle at $1,186.90.

Ask the Designer, Interior Designer Magazine
Ask the Designer, Interior Designer Magazine
Our Managing Director, Chris Gwyther, contributed to the 'Ask the Designer' feature within January's Interior Designer Magazine.
Chris was asked 'Where is your favourite place to eat in the world (restaurant) and how does the interior of that space inspire you and work in harmony with the cuisine?'. Here's his response:
"Vegan and vegetarian food have moved on considerably since the days of lentil hotpots and there's no finer contender for that successful turnaround than Melbourne's Transformer restaurant, in the city's buzzing Fitzroy district. Its innovative, plant-based plates are full of bright colours, fresh ingredients and experimental flavours that are truly market-leading. Where it really scores, however, is the unusual combination of veggie food with a really intimate dining experience, achieved through great lighting and a strong biophilic feel, set within a revitalised industrial space, where the planting of Devil's Ivy will eventually conquer the large ceiling spaces."

It happens all over the world -- Leaves grow on trees, turn beautiful colors, and then fall. And then, of course, it happens all over again.
In Bryant Park in December, it's the part where the trees have dropped their leaves onto the sidewalk, stairs, and the little green tables and chairs that adorn the park.
Leaves grow up isolated to leaves from other trees.When a leaf falls, however, it is up to the fates where they land - who they interact with. Their connections to other leaves are tenuous at best.
Please note - this is NOT the story of the ten year old boy burning a leaf with the sun and a magnifying glass. It could have been, but it's not.
This is a modern day romance.....

Publisher's Summary
Seventeen and sure of nothing, Maria has left her parents' small-town grocery for university life in Dublin. An ad in the Student Union – "2 females seek flatmate. No bigots" – leads Maria to a home with warm Ruth and wickedly funny Jael, students who are older and more fascinating that she'd expected.
But one day something Maria glimpses by accident blows her mind open, and she is forced to question everything she thought she knew about sexuality. A poignant, funny, and sharply insightful coming-of-age story, Stir-Fry is a lesbian novel that explores the conundrum of desire arising in the midst of friendship and probes feminist ideas of sisterhood and non-possessiveness.

Well written but needed more
The prose is artful and crafted, but what is painted is a field with some trees, with a glimmer that once traversed to is cant be explored.
Okay so I listen to this, thinking, great writing, maybe over the top in places, each gap filled with witticisms and observations, and I really don't like being negative, particularly of someone so talented, but where was the story? The romance, the drama, and the ending? I think it could have worked as a short. Maybe even as a bbc TV drama.
(spoiler alert)
I'm more disappointed for the novelist then myself, who is obviously very skilled and has a lot to offer. But there are three main problems. First there is no really story, second the protagonist who is seventeen is characterized far beyond her years. And when finally the ending is five words (it would be like an epic adventure tale ending with, "and they found it.")
In order for me to get closure on this, I'll have to add my own words, so I know Maria found the person she loved (even a hug would have done).
Sorry, I just gobsmacked at how abruptly it ended. It was obvious she liked Ruth, but not enough to conclude the story which did not indicate how much. I feel more effort needed to be put into building the affection between these two. Its a story untold now.
It's possible I'm too sentimental, but please check out reviews on goodreads, etc. and others rather the just judging based on my own emotional skewed view.. It's possible for others the weight of the prose will be more significant part.

I enjoyed the story but not as much as the other books by this author. The storyline was good but dragged on a bit at the end, nevertheless a good book.

A book about discovering who you are
This is a lovely story about 17 year old Maria who leaves home to go and study in Dublin. The book centres around her discovering who she is, who she really wants to be and finding her sexuality along the way.
I read this book years ago on first going to university and many of Mariah's thoughts and experiences resonated with me. However, revisiting this as an older (although maybe not wiser!) listener has not diminished it at all.
I particularly like books that captivate not necessarily by their exotic storyline but by making the everyday enthralling. This relies on good dialogue. I always think of it as being like the kind of banter I have when out with friends where the deep and insightful ricochets off on farcical random tangents. In other words, how people actually speak.
Emma Donoghue is supremely good at portraying people and makes this simple story far greater than the sum of its parts.
The narrator is perfect and I could happily listen to her reading the phone book. Luckily she has something better to get her teeth into!

Outside my comfort zone - but not for long!
What did you like most about Stir-Fry?
Not my usual style of audiobook - sometimes it is time for a change. I found myself drawn into this novel, engaged by the characters, the storyline held my interest and the narration was excellent. Fortunately I had the time, through illness, to listen in long spans, which grew longer as I sought to find out how the story ended.
Who was your favorite character and why?
Rachel, I think. Not the heroine but the star. Rachel was not the central figure but was such a sympathetic creation.
What about Caroline Lennon's performance did you like?
Pacing is first class, clarity of diction and the right accent. I have heard Ms Lennon read a number of stories; in this case, unlike the others, she was on home territory and added to my enjoyment. That said, this was a happy coincidence. Ms Lennon is a most accomplished reader, regardless of where the book is set. She draws out the story in a most engaging way.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Yes - it took just two days as I was unwell. I can think of some audiobooks (no names, no pack-drill) that would have sent me to sleep - I am not a good patient. Stir Fry, and its narration held my interest and involved me in the story telling. It is the involvement that is important.
Any additional comments?
Highly recommended - I shall look forward to listening to it again. So, I know the ending (no spoilers from me) but that means I can concentrate on the language, the details of the plot and a lovely reading.

A frequent behavior I am asked about in class and private training alike, even for day train, is training a dog to have a strong recall (AKA coming when called). This behavior is nearly on every owner's top 5 list. Why wouldn't it be? We all want to be able to call our dogs back from danger and the better the recall, the more places they can go and remain safe and happy.
However, training a recall isn't really about training a recall. You see the keys to a "perfect recall" (I put that in quotes because dogs aren't robots and until we as humans are perfect, dogs won't be either!), are relationship and impulse control. Due to this, I always have a cloudy answer when asked if a dog will have a great recall after one round of class. The answer is, "I don't know." This is because the matter depends greatly on the relationship the dog has with it's owner and the owner putting in the work to create a dog that has great impulse control.
Can a dog that has zero relationship with someone be called to that person? Yes. But the circumstances would be such that the person would either have a massive reward to entice the dog OR on the flip side, the dog would be heavily punished for not obeying. If there was zero external reward from this person with no positive relationship to the dog and no known punisher greater than the environment, the dog simply wouldn't come, because it would be more rewarding not to come.
So if recalls depend on relationship and impulse control, where do we start?
Relationship is being built every moment spent with the dog. It doesn't matter if the dog is an adopted dog, bought from a breeder, age, breed, size, temperament. You can build a relationship with that dog by finding things the dog enjoys and creating a positive association that you are the giver of those things. It goes deeper than that, but a good start is writing out a list of things your dog likes and being the keeper of the gate to those coveted things. Does your dog like toys? Great, play tug! Make sure you have rules like a nice drop (there is that impulse control!), letting the dog win is of course fine, but a drop is a good thing to have. Keep a few special toys hidden for just you and your dog to play with together that aren't in the toy box. Throw in some obedience cues for the added impulse control like sit, down, stay etc.
Does your dog enjoy food? Of course he does! Use his meals for training, reward well and happily for behaviors you like. Always keep training positive and never with punishment so your dog knows training is awesome! You will be working on a formal "come" and doing it with a reward leaves a lasting positive tone when you need it for real (even when you are empty handed).
Does your dog like to lay with you perhaps? Get cuddles? Go for walks? Play with brain toys? Do all those things! Be your dog's best buddy and he will love spending time with you away from home alike.
The impulse control part, can be boring for some owners. I love it though. Impulse control is basically the ability for the dog to stop itself from doing what it wants and looking to you for permission instead. Yes, dogs exist that can do just that (mine do and so do many clients dogs that have reached this stage!). This means if I am out with my dog off leash and he sees a giant hole with a gopher's head in it, he won't just go try to eat that gopher, he will pause and look at me for permission. Sometimes I tell him that he sure can dig up a hole and sometimes I don't. The power in that is that my dog realizes I MIGHT let him do the thing he wants, so he might as well ask versus if he takes what he wants, he will be prevented from gaining that "joy." In the case of the gopher, if he decided to take off, I better be super quick to block that hole or get him back so he doesn't get reinforced! That is where a long line comes in handy for younger untrained dogs.
This impulse control takes place anytime a handler calls their dog. The dog balances the idea of continuing what it was doing, or coming to the handler. In order to have a dog that comes to the handler MOST of the time, it is imperative to have a dog that has learned turning AWAY from food, gets me the food OR laying on the mat when there are distractions gets me a reward OR dropping the tug means we continue the game OR sitting for guests means I get pet. The list can go on and there are plenty of games and exercises that start at square one and advance to teach a dog (and owner) this vital information on how to put listening to the handler ABOVE the natural rewards of the environment.

Cpl. Darryl Wormuth says something told him to go back.
The Prince George's County police officer had found a man lying facedown in the grass near an apartment complex in Suitland, Md., around noon Tuesday during his routine patrol. The man appeared to be under the influence and was conscious but could not speak, according to police.
Wormuth called an ambulance and went with emergency medics to drop the man off at a hospital. But three hours later, after his shift ended around 3 p.m., Wormuth was drawn back to the apartment complex.
"Something was telling me to go back to this area," Wormuth said.
He returned to find a troubling scene.
In a remote corner of the apartment complex parking lot near where he found the man in the grass, the officer came upon an SUV with a toddler strapped in a car seat alone.
The car was running, a window was down and the little girl's eyes were closed. It was a hot day, and the 10-year member of the police department feared the worst.
"Please, God, let this child be alive," he recalled saying to himself.
It turns out the child, no more than 2 years old, was the daughter of the man Wormuth had escorted to the hospital. The man had no identification on him, was not speaking and never indicated he had a child. The officer had earlier used a key fob found around the man's neck to try to find his car, but he pressed the panic button several times in three parking lots in the area and no vehicle responded.
It was only after Wormuth returned after his shift that he discovered music coming from a running SUV and saw the girl in the vehicle, her head leaning forward.
After getting closer, the officer was relieved to find the girl's little chest rising and falling. She was sleeping.
Wormuth roused the girl, rubbing her arm to try to soften her shock at waking to the face of a stranger. The girl burst into tears when she awoke, though, and the officer quickly grabbed his phone to try to calm her down.
"Do you want to call Mommy?" Wormuth remembered asking before he got a smile out of her.
Wormuth contacted an apartment property manager he had been speaking with earlier about the man in the grass, and she returned to the parking lot with chicken nuggets and fries. Another officer arrived with a bottle of water, which the girl gulped down after being alone for almost four hours in the car, said Latrice Leake, the property manager.
"He was in hero mode," Leake said of watching Wormuth tend to the child. "He was awesome in that moment and just protected this little girl."
The child could not talk or say who her parents were. In the car, Wormuth found a phone with more than 40 missed calls and texts and reached the girl's grandmother.
Meanwhile, Wormuth and Leake tended to the toddler, who refused to be removed from her car seat.
Chicken-nugget sauce covered the girl's face, and she watched videos of Wormuth's dogs on his phone, smiling and blowing kisses at the screen.
Then the girl's mother arrived.
"She immediately jumped out of the vehicle, walked to our location and just began crying," Wormuth said.
The girl, who was safe and unharmed, went home with her family.
The father — whom police did not name, to protect the identity of the child — has been charged with reckless endangerment and a related count of leaving a child unattended, police said.

Experience life and death…and more death, how about some more!? Would you like something to drink or eat with that? No? *pouts* ok…
Instead you can hear a confession from the author, David Edison, and hear about what he would have kids reading in schools/English classes. Oh yes and be sure to enter the GIVEAWAY for a copy of THE WAKING ENGINE courtesy of Tor Books below!
Read my review of THE WAKING ENGINE
– ~ – ~ – ~ – ~ – ~ – ~ – ~ – ~ – ~ – ~ – ~ – ~ – ~ – ~ – ~ –
Hello, My Shelf Confessions! I am David Edison, author of The Waking Engine, and I am guest-blogging all up in here.
Since I am lucky enough to be unconstrained by a pre-assigned topic, let's get confessy. Shelf confessy.
Here's my first shelf confession: I was that awful kid who never read the assigned books in English class. This may or may not be apparent from the utter lack of Nectar in a Sieve-itude in my writing, or perhaps from the way I incorrectly drop "Miss Havisham" references in cocktail conversation:
"I feel so pretty tonight, and full of demure propriety just like that stunner, Miss Havisham! Right? Why are you taking away my drink? I need that drink. To live. Like Miss Havisham. Stop punching me! Sheesh, what a Dickens."
I read Great Expectations, obviously. And John Knowles' A Separate Peace, and all of Shakespeare. Also most of the Georgian/Regency/Victorian stuff, because my mother often implied that Mr Darcy was the ideal man, and that got my intention. I prefer Heathcliff, because I like it dark and stormy and am working up to a Lizzie-Bennet-level of self-respect.
But mostly? Mostly, I ignored the canon because [SPOILER] it's freaking boring. Somehow, I survived, and I promise never to proselytize in favor of skipping assigned homework, but I'm totally not sorry.
Because I was reading David Eddings and Bram Stoker and Frank Herbert. What kind of society skips Dune in favor of Moby Dick? Are you kidding me? I mean, sure, that sperm scene was a hoot, but if you're going to force 15-year-olds to read about crazy white men obsessed with the natural world, give them sandworms and god-emperors, for the love of all that's spicy!
I know I'm not alone, fellow genre readers: school has this wicked way of squeezing out any potential love for reading, especially if the young potential-reader in question likes spaceships and/or unicorns. And who doesn't like spaceships and/or unicorns?
So I decided that most of my English homework was optional, and instead I read all the space tales and unicorn operas I could get my hands on. Peter Beagle won't exactly rot your brains, so I came out just fine. Arguably, a young reader who is self-directed in her reading choices will come out just fine no matter what, but I can't help wondering how many would-be-readers we lose in the process. I once had a teacher try to forbid my 5th grade class from reading Eddings, because she would rather have had us read non-fiction about Paul Revere. (Hi, Mrs. Mendelsohn, if you're still out there, fighting to get kids to stop reading books! You were terrible, and I'm glad my awesome mom put a stop to your evil plans.)
The number of similar stories I have heard since, it is a mind-bogglingly stupid number. All genre fans are aware of the pervasive anti-genre bias, so I know that you'll understand, dearest reader. The question I put to you, then, is this: how would you rebuild the canon, from the mind of a reader who does not loathe unicorns, starships, and monstrous beasties?
On my syllabus, I'd put Dune, The Last Unicorn, Tolkien, an Iain M. Banks 'Culture' novel, the first volume of whichever epic was most popular that year, and Ellen Kushner's Swordspoint, and that's just for starters. With that set, you'd get feminism, transhumanism, queer theory, ecology and political science, and actual tears from young readers. Which sounds sadistic but is, IMHO, the sign of a young reader who will continue to flip pages all of her life.
What books would you add to Mister Edison's Not-Awful English Class, and why? Confess!
Welcome to the City Unspoken, where Gods and Mortals come to die.
Contrary to popular wisdom, death is not the end, nor is it a passage to some transcendent afterlife. Those who die merely awake as themselves on one of a million worlds, where they are fated to live until they die again, and wake up somewhere new. All are born only once, but die many times . . . until they come at last to the City Unspoken, where the gateway to True Death can be found.
Wayfarers and pilgrims are drawn to the City, which is home to murderous aristocrats, disguised gods and goddesses, a sadistic faerie princess, immortal prostitutes and queens, a captive angel, gangs of feral Death Boys and Charnel Girls . . . and one very confused New Yorker.
Late of Manhattan, Cooper finds himself in a City that is not what it once was. The gateway to True Death is failing, so that the City is becoming overrun by the Dying, who clot its byzantine streets and alleys . . . and a spreading madness threatens to engulf the entire metaverse.

I guess the show did not take off in the states so the toys only got released overseas. I never even got a chance to purchase some of these for myself. Here I only worked on the dragon and not the rider.

I was the main sculptor on this line and must have worked on 70-80% of this toy line. This was the one dragon in the line that I did not sculpt that but I did sculpt the figure.

I have never seen leaders struggle more than they do with Millennials. The Millennial generation, with its oldest members now well into their thirties, is still seen as entitled, fickle, and hard to retain. That perception is wrong, and I encourage leaders and senior staff to adopt a different view.
To start, here are three rules to live by:
Manage People, Not Positions
Baby Boomers grew up learning that "children should be seen and not heard." To compensate for their own silence, they urged their Millennial offspring to speak up. From their first words, Millennials have learned that their voice matters. If they see a problem, they roll up their sleeves and solve it. They want a job that comes with purpose, not just a paycheck.
One study found that 76% of Millennials consider a company's social and environmental commitments when deciding where to work, and 88% say their job is more fulfilling when there are opportunities to make a difference. Millennials want to raise their voice (and they want to use it for good)!
Many organizations say they like when Millennials speak up, but I've rarely found an organization built to the strengths of this generation. I'm here to tell you that any organization that embraces this approach will see its staff rise and grow to meet the challenge.
Innovation to Retain Top Talent
A company's tax status is no excuse for poor innovation. Failure to innovate makes it hard to recruit and retain employees.
Millennials have a strong tendency to job hop, averaging nearly 3 jobs in their first 5 years after graduation. By comparison, Millennials' predecessors, Generation X, averaged 2 jobs in their first 10 years after college.
Where innovation thrives, so do Millennials. These employees are "entrepreneurial," which means they are attracted to fast-paced, changing cultures that take risks. But they are also immersed in lifestyle culture and aim to build their own personal brands.
Millennials want more than just "tech frills," like catered snacks and an in-house barista. They prioritize authenticity, flexibility, and opportunities to travel.
I learned that it offers employees the opportunity to travel to Kenya, India, or Ecuador on group staff trips to see firsthand the organization's work in communities around the world. Not every employer can offer this, but connecting Millennials to your work's global impact can be essential.
And, it's important to recognize how connecting your employees to their work in a meaningful way can help lend itself to the success of your business.
Millennials Are Leaders, Too
Success begins with leadership. Millennial CEOs encourage their employees to go beyond earning a living and live their personal purpose through their work. We all need workplaces to embrace Millennials for who they are and for what they bring to the organization.
Too many leaders are throwing in the towel and doing as little as possible when it comes to managing Millennials. Leaders need to fundamentally alter this mind-set and see Millennials as an asset.
Why is this so important? Believe it or not, there is a generation after the Millennials: Gen Z. These are the interns at your office right now. Typically, the ones on the front lines of managing a new generation are members of the generation right above them.

Caution: May contain spoilers
I read this bad boy in less than 24 hours – that's how much I loved it. I even went to the library today to check out two more books by Jonathan Tropper, I'm hoping they'll live up to this one!
This novel tells the story of the Foxman family, as told by one of the son's, Judd. After the death of their father, Judd and his siblings, Wendy, Paul and Phillip, come together at the family home to sit shiva, a Jewish tradition after death. Despite the fact that spending seven days in the same house will be extremely difficult and complicated for them, they agree to do it, believing it to be their father's dying wish.
Throughout the novel, we see the characters grow and change over the course of shiva. Judd, who is trying to come to terms with the discovery of his wife cheating, is feeling kind of hopeless when all of this happens. His older brother Paul is taking over the family business, while he and his wife struggle with their inability to conceive. Phillip, known as the family screw up, shocks everyone by showing up with a much older fiance, who is also his former therapist. And Wendy is trying to raise three children with a semi absent husband, while battling her own issues with growing older. Their mother is also having her own personal struggles, while dealing with the loss of her husband. Their dynamics as a family are.. strange. But they're warm in a way that's believable, and has you growing attached to the characters. They're also conflicted, and genuinely screwed up. They also have a lot of sex and get into a lot of fist fights. And there's weed involved.
It's definitely an entertaining read! This book has a lot to offer, some parts of it really rang true with me, and I'm sure they will with you too.

Brewed with a traditional Munich lager yeast, Dauntless is a copper colored malt forward salute to the Oktoberfest Celebration taking place in Germany every year since 1810. Tettnang and Hallertauer hops compliment the malt flavors by adding subtle, spicy hop notes. Malty, smooth and eminently drinkable.
Known for his relation to Norse and Scandinavian mythology and his lumbering, oafish gait, Dauntless appears only in early morning fog. He dwells beneath the industrial sheen of the Mackinaw Bridge in early fall, gnawing on passing driftwood and autumn leaves and embodying his troll heritage. Oftentimes lazy, his spends his mornings avoiding sunlight – for it burns his delicately dim-witted mind – and groaning with each shift in his weight. Passing cars never notice his dull groaning, however, for years ago the local fishermen learned to mask it with their foghorns to keep Dauntless' presence secret. Some have heard rumors of his existence, but nobody save the wrinkled and wise fishermen has ever laid eyes on the allusive troll Dauntless who trudges beneath the Mackinaw Bridge.
MALT: Pilsner, Munich 20, Vienna & Black Prinz
HOPS: Tettnang & Hallertaur
