Llandaff bound - we say
farewell to Stephen Moore
We are
delighted to announce that Stephen Moore, our Director
of Music since 2010, has been appointed Organist and
Master of the Choristers at Llandaff Cathedral.
Stephen's final Sunday with the Choir is 17 July. He
takes up his new responsibilities in September.
We are delighted for Stephen. His richly deserved
preferment was achieved in the face of stiff
competition, and he follows in the footsteps of Robert
Joyce's appointment to Llandaff in 1958. Stephen is now
the first director of music at St Matthew's to go
directly to a corresponding cathedral appointment since
David Ponsford in 1979.
Incidentally, so far as we are aware, this will be the
first time that two siblings (Tom Moore is Director of
Music at Wakefield Cathedral) have served concurrently
as cathedral directors of music in the UK.
Stephen has worked tirelessly for our Parish, greatly
expanding his role, and has acquitted himself with
considerable distinction. He has taken the musical life
of the parish to new heights, broadened its appeal,
delivered the quality of repertoire and performance for
which St Matthew's was formally renowned, and enhanced
the reputation of our parish far beyond its bounds.
Thanks to his efforts, our well-respected musical life
has become a point of numeric growth, as well as
spiritual enrichment. We are indebted to Stephen for all
he has achieved, and anticipate a bright future for him,
and us.
We pray that God will continue to bless him in his
future life and vocation.

Col. Kunle Togun: South West has been invaded by foreign Herdsmen
A former Director of the Directorate of Military Intelligence, Col. Kunle Togun (retd.), has raised the alarm that the South-West has been invaded by Fulani herdsmen from Mali, Burkina Faso, Senegal and other West African countries.
Togun also said it was unfortunate that some people were playing politics with security issues.
Speaking in an interview with SUNDAY PUNCH on Saturday, Togun said, "The Yoruba nation is under invasion and that is a fact. The entire Yorubaland has been invaded by these herdsmen and unfortunately, some people are supporting this because of political considerations."
He accused some traditional rulers of selling land to the foreign herders in the Oke-Ogun area of Oyo State.
He said the herdsmen were able to perpetrate criminal activities because they had studied the topography of the area and the psychology of the people.
He warned that selling land to them would continue to put the Yoruba people and their generations in danger.
Togun said, "Some people including traditional rulers take cows from these Fulani and settle them here. This has been happening in Oke-Ogun. They graze on people's farms and kill anyone who complains.
"We were told that there is an Oba in Atisbo Local Government Area and that these foreigners went to him with money and cows, asking him to give them land but he turned down the offer. They later went to another monarch, who collected the money and cows and he gave them land.
"These herdsmen now kill the native Fulani and rustle their cows; they rape their wives. These people are Fulani from Guinea, Mali, Burkina Faso and Niger. They come here to own Nigerian land. How can the inheritance of our future generation be given to foreigners? The whole of Oke-Ogun and Ibarapa have been invaded; the entire Yorubaland has been invaded. They have brought their youths, who are now commercial motorcyclists in Lagos. They sell carrots, fruits and all that.
"There is no village, town and city in Yorubaland that these people have not invaded and in the evening, you see the people gathering together. If there is any problem, these youths are their foot-soldiers. They have studied our topography; they have studied our movements and they know everything."

Togun said he predicted the current situation in December 2014 when he was invited to deliver a lecture by the Development Agenda for Western Nigeria but that no action was taken on it.
"Nigerians are not security-conscious people but the worst are the Yoruba. Some are looking at the issue from religious and political views. It is unfortunate that foreigners from Mali, from Niger, from Guinea and other now own land in Nigeria," he added.

The front man added that they ahd then went to the dressing rooms and the hall was filled with smoke.

from across branches and walks, MEET THE MUSCLE BEHIND OUR MISSION
Meet Melissa
Battle Tested Founder, Influencer + Leader
Melissa enlisted in the Air Force at 19 with every intention of, but no plan for, becoming a sportscaster. She spent 10 years on active duty jet setting across the globe as a military journalist.
After finishing her undergrad during active duty, Melissa dove straight into securing her Masters in Integrated Marketing Communications. She also met her now husband (and fellow BTV Board Member + Speaker), Cory, while on tour in Korea.
Following 12 years of enlisted service, Melissa obtained her commission. Despite fearing Officer Training School was a young person's game, she graduated second in her class.
Although she had a wealth education and military experience, Melissa balked at whether she would be competitive in the civilian space. After becoming a reservist and starting her transition in 2007, it took her five years and four promotions to believe that she was a competitive, valuable member of the corporate world.
Today, Melissa runs a team of business analysts for LinkedIn who help inform and drive client strategy with the ultimate goal of ensuring clients get the most out of their investment.
Like many great ideas, Battle Tested Veterans formed out of a fine combination of adoration and frustration. A fierce advocate for veterans, Melissa was moved to give back to the community that brought her so much – her husband, her friends and her education. She was also irritated and disheartened by the misunderstandings of transitioning veterans in the corporate space.
When her husband separated from the Air Force four years after she did, Melissa was able to see through his experience the challenges replayed from her own journey - doubt, lack of confidence, the loss of a strong support community, a disorientation, and the absence of a strong civilian/corporate network. With a clear perspective, she realized it is simply not enough to say we support our troops - we must find ways to empower them to achieve their full potential in their post-service lives.
Moved by a mission to challenge veteran stereotypes and the compulsion to find a way to leverage her unique skills and abilities to help the veteran community, BTV came to be in 2015.
Melissa wants each and every person who experiences BTV to see part of themselves in the stories shared by veterans. For her fellow veterans, her hope is to have them understand that they are not alone in their journey and that there is more than one path to happiness and success. For hiring influencers, her goal is for them abandon preconceived notions and see veterans as valuable corporate assets.
After bouncing from Charleston to Philadelphia, Team Boatwright headed west and now call San Francisco home.
Battle Tested Board of Directors, Co-Founder + Intrapreneur
Cory will be the first to tell you the best decision he ever made was joining the military – the second best decision he ever made was getting out.
Cory's story starts with an inherent desire to disrupt his trajectory and become someone. He joined the Air Force in 2005 as a military broadcaster. The six years to follow had him filling dynamic roles ranging from a Morning Radio DJ in Kunsan, South Korea to a Special Operations Combat Cameraman in Afghanistan. Cory's decorated military career consists of being named Airman of the Year five times and earning multiple medals for meritorious service.
In 2011, he separated from the military to go back to school and would be the first in his family to earn a college degree. Although he intended to rejoin the military, medical disqualification forced his hand into the civilian sector.
Armed with a dual degree from the University of Pennsylvania in International Relations and Behavioral Sciences, Cory explored opportunities in finance with BlackRock and consulting through Deloitte before landing where he is today as the Head of Military & Veteran Recruiting Programs for LinkedIn. In this capacity, he has finally found the personal and professional alignment he felt while in the military.
Innately curious and committed to consistent learning, Cory is also a certified Project Manager and currently enrolled in an executive program with Harvard University for Business Analytics. Dedicated to mastering the art and science behind "getting it done," Cory works everyday through successes and failures to try and be a better human both personally and professionally.
Although his path looks painless on paper, Cory struggled for years to find his footing after leaving the military. Through countless hours of reflection and a willingness to learn from failure, he mustered the courage to move forward.
Co-founding Battle Tested Veterans with his wife, Melissa, Cory is a staunch believer in the power of sharing stories to combat damaging stereotypes after finding many narratives describing veterans to be negative and overgeneralized.
Cory's motivation for every person who comes to BTV, both military and civilian, is to know there are more veterans doing well in the world and continuing their life of service. His mission is to leave you with a more positive perception about veterans and the military experience – seeing a veteran as an added value as opposed to someone you need to make fit.

Battle Tested Board of Directors, Entrepreneur + Advocate
Born and raised in San Fernando Valley, CA, Zephrine enlisted in the Air Force immediately after graduating high school. With a budding background in media communications and journalism, Zephrine served as a public affairs and medical photographer stationed in Germany and Texas. She met her now husband, Justin, at their first duty station in Spangdahlem, Germany.
Throughout her military service, Zephrine photographed both triumph and tragedy with the tragedies leaving their lifelong mark. After medical retirement from the Air Force in 2004, Zephrine shifted to freelance photography, returned to college for communications and focused on her mental health.
Zephrine will be the first to tell you her transition out of the military was tough. Creating and navigating a healthy life with three children on the Autism spectrum on top of this transition made it tougher.
With the resounding support of her husband, the Hansons packed up and moved to Denver, CO in 2016 where Zephrine embraced a calmer, holistic lifestyle. Finally enjoying some space to breath, she took advantage of veteran programs to include The Entrepreneurship Bootcamp for Veterans with Disabilities (EBV) consortium at UCLA, the Veterans to Farmers in soil farming program in partnership with Denver Botanic Gardens, and the Veterans' Path mindfulness and yoga training in Colorado.
These opportunities allowed her to explore, understand and act on her passions for sustainable living, homeschooling and entrepreneurship.
Today, Zephrine is launching her latest venture, Hampden Farms, a suburban farming project offering small-batch artisanal products made from organic ingredients lovingly grown and sustainably sourced. She is also a budding advocate and community influencer for Autism awareness and education.
As a member of the Battle Tested Board, Zephrine aims to share her zeal for storytelling with an organization committed to challenging veteran stereotypes.
Battle Tested Board of Directors, Active Duty US Coast Guard + Advocate
Steven enrolled in the US Coast Guard Academy at 18 with no idea what he wanted to do with his life. Craving structure and organization, he soon found his stride in the missions, challenges, opportunities and fulfillment the Coast Guard provided.
Fourteen years later, Steven is active duty and currently oversees a team of 50 crew members responsible for planning and executing mission throughout the Pacific on one of the Coast Guard's newest ships. Fueled by a personal mission to serve, Steven holds immense respect for anyone who has worn the uniform in this country regardless of rank or rate.
Among his many accolades, Steven is proudest of commanding a Coast Guard ship in Alaska. Faced with a brutal, remote environment, the tour presented a series of unique challenges that ultimately brought his crew together making it one of his most rewarding tours of his military career.
Through Battle Tested Veterans, Steven aims to convey the innate ability service members have to overcome challenges and learn quickly with little direction– although the vocabulary may be different, the soft skills and experience veterans possess can be applied across industries. He hopes that every person who experiences BTV will walk away with a better understanding of what a veteran will bring to the table and, as a hiring influencer, will give a veteran's resume a closer look.
When docked, Steven lives in Oakland, CA with his wife, son and fur child.

Festival headliner Nalle Hukkataival is no stranger to the Grampians, having spent four consecutive seasons amidst the gums and sandstone blocs of the Gramps developing some of Australia's – and the world's – hardest and highest boulders. Think Stepping Stone (V15), The World is Not Flat (V14), Occam's Razor (V14), Massive Dynamic (V14), Cherry Picking (V13), Knowing is Half the Battle (V12) – we could go on. More recently, he climbed the world's hardest bouldering problem, Burden of Dreams (V17), while just recently he cleaned up one of Rocklands' most aesthetic lines with his ascent of The Finnish Line (V16).
We're fortunate that Black Diamond has brought him (and his excellent hair) out especially for the festival. Nalle will be out touring the blocs during the casual comp on Saturday, dispensing tips (and no doubt a few classics), while we will get to sit down with him on the Saturday night, along with a few other Grampians' developers, for a Q&A. On the Sunday, a lucky few will get to do a Masterclass session with him. Mahtava*!
Nalle's Top Five Boulders**
Peter Parker (V5) – I always liked this boulder for its unique start where you jump from a rock across the gap onto the wall. I also opened the start from the ground a few years ago, which might still be unrepeated?
Kate Upton (V12) – Incredible crimper boulder at Mt. Fox. One of the Top Five boulders in the world if you ask me.
Birthday Dyno (V11/12) – On the Point Break boulder at Mt Fox. All-points-off triple-dyno at a stunning spot on top a hill.
The Golden Rule (V12/13) – Amazing bright-golden block with big moves of decent slopy crimps and a shouldery crux up high.
Massive Dynamic (V13) – One of the most striking lines in Buandik.
Road Sweet Home (V15) – a proud highball in the Amusement Park side of Buandik. Opening this was definitely what I call big wall bouldering; trying to find a way to navigate up a wall on one of the biggest blocs I've seen anywhere in the world.
Cherry Picking (V13) – Maybe the best known boulder in Buandik has pretty much reached classic status already.
On The Beach (V13) – Sweet boulder on slopey holds right below the mighty Taipan wall.
* Finnish for 'awesome'.
**Nalle gave us eight, we didn't argue 🙌.

I am so excited for my lovely friend, Sarah, and her charming new husband, Christopher. They were married over the weekend at the Canyons Lodge in Park City, UT, and the ceremony was simply beautiful. I love that the guests were greeted with champagne for the gondola ride to the lodge. Once we got to the top, the snowy mountains made a peaceful and striking backdrop for the ceremony. I was something of a blubbering mess as the minister read love letters that the couple had written to each other, but somehow I managed to compose myself just in time for dinner and dancing. What an amazing wedding. Congrats!

Three teen baby-sitters heard laughing in the background of a Snapchat video that allegedly shows them terrorizing a 1-year-old with a Taser have all been arrested.
Elyssia Watkins brought her toddler to Conway Regional Medical Center after the troubling video surfaced online Monday. Her daughter was not injured, but she still reported the alleged abuse, sharing the clip with officer Brittani Little the same day.
The video "appeared to depict three female teens laughing hysterically while taunting the baby girl with a taser, which caused the child to scream and sob in uncontrollable fear," according to a press release from the Conway Police Department. It "continued on, showing the teens joking and laughing when one of them forcefully struck the child in the head."
Watkins told authorities the girls featured in the Snapchat clip had been baby-sitting her daughter at the time and that she was "unaware of the alleged abuse prior to seeing the video."
All three of them were quickly arrested on the felony charge of endangering the welfare of a minor in the first-degree and were being held at the Faulkner County Juvenile Detention Center, authorities said.
Watkins, meanwhile, is still struggling to comprehend what happened to her little girl.
"I couldn't even stay at work today, just keep thinking about it," she told WFLA.
"Why do they think it's a laughing matter? They do need to go to jail, but I hope somebody really talks to them, they get some counseling."

The World Bank, Asian Development Bank and Human Rights
Developing Standards of Transparency, Participation and Accountability
Sanae Fujita
Chapter 1: The World Bank, Asian Development Bank and human rights
Developing Standards of Transparency, Participation and Accountability
Sanae Fujita
This chapter examines the relationship between human rights and the World Bank and Asian Development Bank (ADB). Human rights issues facing the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund (IMF) have been discussed in several UN human rights meetings. In reply to those criticisms, the World Bank has quoted from section 10 of the Articles of Agreement Article IV, which specifies that "The Bank and its officers shall not interfere in the political affairs of any member … Only economic considerations shall be relevant to their decisions …". This means the World Bank's interpretation of the terms "political affairs" and "economic considerations" affects its attitude to human rights issues. Both the World Bank's interpretation of these terms and its attitude towards human rights has changed dramatically during the past 50 years. This book sets out the development of the World Bank's attitude towards human rights from the 1960s to the present and submits that it can be divided into four stages.

Who is Troy A. Burgher?
Microsoft Certified Professional / Microsoft Innovative Educator
Professional Staff Development - Employee On-boarding & Coaching featuring Microsoft Office / Office 365 Applications
My Personal Summary
Creating efficient, effective, and productive users of technology is what drives my passion for teaching and empowering individuals to overcome their fear and anxiety of technology and computers.
I am a former resident of Edgemere Houses, which is part of the New York City Housing Authority, located in Far Rockaway, Queens [New York City]. Ever since I stood in for a computer trainer and "guru" at the Beacon Program of a local community center within my neighborhood more than 25 years ago, I've developed a passion for sharing my knowledge of computers and software applications with residents of inner-city communities; desktop applications such as word processing and spreadsheet programs. Often times, inner-city communities lack technology and computer literacy resources, overshadowed by sports and craft-related activities. This is what motivated me toward my life-long pursuit to bridge the technology literacy gap that exists in the inner-city community. 23+ years later of freelance training, facilitating technology literacy workshops, and developing training programs has given me solid practical experience in working with and motivating beginner and novice users; transforming them into more efficient, effective and productive users of technology and computers. Thus allowing me to develop into a creative problem solver that designs simple and user-friendly solutions; incorporating Microsoft Office Suite applications as the core learning component.
I have spent thousands of hours studying, designing and implementing the use of Microsoft Office Suite applications as an employee of organizations within the Non-profit, Education, Hospitality/Amusement Park and Technology Training industries. I have spent the better part of 28 years incorporating desktop applications as a way to increase the efficient, effective and productive use of technology to enhance not only my work performance, but also those within my immediate department and organizationally, while employed in such areas as finance, computer training, account management and youth entrepreneurship advocacy.
My Business Summary
I am the Founder and Owner of TAB Training & Consulting, LLC which was created to share my knowledge, expertise and experience towards bridging the technology literacy gap. As a Microsoft Innovative Educator and a Microsoft Certified Professional, with instructor credentials for the Microsoft Office Suite of Applications, I am able to devote my passion and experience to helping community-based organizations, entrepreneurs and beginner/novice users of computers to become more efficient, effective and productive users of technology and computers.
The goal of TAB Training & Consulting, LLC is to bridge the technology literacy gap that exists in the home, in the business sector and in the neighborhoods of economically disadvantaged communities. We will accomplish this by building the human capital of individuals through technology literacy… one resident, one business, and one community at a time; thus helping individuals become more efficient, effective and productive users of information and technology driving economic growth in their respective communities.
The objective of TAB Training & Consulting, LLC is to provide individuals with the necessary and essential technology and employability skill sets and information for them to become technologically self-sufficient. Individuals will then possess the ability to quickly put into practice the skills and knowledge gained as a result of our project-based training programs and services. We will assist individuals in overcoming their fear and anxiety of working with computers and challenge them to learn new software applications and how to best apply this knowledge to complete daily tasks and routines within the workplace. We will partner with community-based social-service organizations, religious institutions, and locally-sponsored organizations to identify and address the technological literacy needs of the community and of its residents.

Demi Lovato kicked off one of fashion's most out-there evenings Sunday at the MTV Video Music Awards as she strutted in a risque black lace bodysuit with matching sparkly harem pants by Zuhair Murad while Katy Perry, the night's host, showed off a white one-shoulder dress by Stephane Rolland as her first of many looks. Before Perry dropped to the stage in a space suit, then perused outfits to open the show, Lovato – a nominee and performer – turned some heads with her peekaboo look up top from Murad's 2016 couture collection.While some dressed for fun, Lorde went classic red carpet in a mauve Monique Lhuillier gown with a feathered skirt. She later changed into a pair of saggy gray joggers with a tinfoil-like skirt top with a pop of tutu underneath.

A straight, sturdy fence starts with cedar, redwood, cypress or pressure treated posts, cut close to the center of the tree. Check out the ends for an even pattern of concentric rings.
You can simply backfill your posts with gravel and earth or use metal spikes, but concrete makes a stronger, more permanent fence.
You also need: A clamshell or a power auger to dig, sturdy cardboard forms to help save concrete, gravel, some scrap 1x2s for braces and stakes… and a helpful friend.
Once you've checked the code, planned your fence location, had the yard swept for buried goodies like gas lines and water pipes, and staked out mason line along the outer edge of the fence, you're ready to dig. But where?
Start at the corners. 8-feet on-center is fairly standard, but shorter fences often need closer spacing for good proportion.
Dig at least one-third the height of your post, and try and widen the hole at the bottom. Pour in a few inches of gravel and insert your cardboard form as far as the wider section.
Prepare a couple 18-inch stakes and 3 foot braces for each post. Attach one end of each brace to a stake with a single nail so it will swivel, and drive the stake in the ground about 18″ from the hole. Place the post in the hole, pour in enough concrete to help support it, and use a level on one face to determine plumb. Then firmly nail the brace to the post to hold it in place. Repeat on an adjacent face.
Then pour in your concrete, tamping it with a stick every now and then. Keep checking plumb.
At the top, slope the concrete from the post for runoff.

It's been a long time since our last blog post. But we wanted to write briefly about the recent additions to the brewery -- five oak foudres (French for large, oak barrel). We purchased them used from Markham Vineyards in Napa, which used them for aging its Sauvignon Blanc. Four of these 1400gal French oak foudres are uprights, while the other one is oval shaped.
The foudres will be dedicated to wild and sour beers. We haven't decided on how we will approach all five vessels. We know it could take quite, quite some time before sour beer will be ready out of these foudres. So we would like to initiate them by devoting a couple foudres for long-haul beers, and a couple for not-too-long-ish sour beer aging. And for the oval we are planning primary fermenting and conditioning 100% brettanomyces beers.
Given our modest business model and funds, we couldn't afford barrel-aging beers at the outset as desired. Aging beers take extra-invested money, time, and real estate. But now having made it past our 2-year mark we have embarked on what we always wanted to do with Monkish -- create sour beers. So we've bought and filled dozens of wine barrels, and we couldn't resist buying these foudres.
Why buy foudres over stainless steel tanks or typical-sized (59gal) oak barrels? Why not :) At Monkish, we try to be focused in what we do and want to do. We're fairly comfortable with the amount of stainless steel fermentation capacity. This year we have invested more money in oak barrels and will continue to do so. But compared to oak barrels, with these foudres we hope we'll better be able to control things related to our brewing process and conditions. And of course, we love their aesthetic quality and storied history in beer- and wine-making! And doesn't the necessitated characteristics of foudre beers - time, patience, and mystery - jive with the virtues of being "Monkish"?!

Jaryd from Bad Valley chats up Nick from Upskirts
VISIONS Sydney
Bad Valley: I really dig on the production on your releases, particularly 'Mind's a Burden'. You lads also kill it live, the sonics are always so well sorted. Do you as a band prefer being in the studio or playing live?
Upskirts: Hmmm. Probably playing live because that's where we have spent most of our time. But that being said our last few stints in the studio have really opened up what we thought we could do with our sound, which has definitely made the show better … or at least more interesting. We've had to put a fair amount of time into rehearsing some of tracks because they really developed sonically in the studio. But playing live it's all more open, we can be sloppy sometimes, but that's half the fun. Fucking around and extending sections within tracks and trying to make it sound as big or as chilled or weird as possible is exciting for us.
Bad Valley: Where is your favorite place to play in Australia?
Upskirts:Playing Yardfest the other week was pretty sweet – we liked playing outdoors. We'd probably like to keep doing more stuff like that. But Sydney has always been the best for us because it's home. Oxford Art Factory pretty much always rules and playing outside at The Vic is shit loads of fun.
Bad Valley: The track 'Where' makes me think of two things, The Stone Roses and valium. Am I on to something here?
Upskirts: Hell yes. Stone Roses are definitely a big influence for us. We like doing something that is mildly psychedelic but not entirely informed by it. Tom (drums/vox) was adamant on the drums being super tight and dancey even though the guitars aren't, which is something we like doing and something the Stone Roses were kings at. And yeah…I think that middle section definitely sounds like the feeling in your head after drinking booze on valium. Sleepy…but the bad kind of sleepy.
Bad Valley: If you could choose any-one-now-deceased great female vocalist of the past to appear on a track who would you pick? And for what kind of track?
Upskirts: Shit that's hard. I don't speak for the other guys 'cause Tom's favorite female singer is Mariah Carey (is she dead…?). Maybe Nico because a) she rules b) singing next to her might make me sound as good as Lou Reed and c) Because she blew Jim Morrison in an elevator, and I just want to ask her what that was like. But definitely for some kind of slow burner.
Bad Valley: Gandalf vs. Yoda. Who wins?
Upskirts: How is this even a question? Gandalf. He's hell smart and can take a hit like a champ.
Bad Valley: Are you guys perverts and is that why you called your band "Upskirts"?
Upskirts: I actually don't know why we're called Upskirts. I wasn't in the room when decisions we're being made. But we wer'e pretty young when it happened. I guess every 16 year old is a bit of a pervert right?

Friends since the 7th grade who finally fell in love in university, leaving all their friends practically yelling "ABOUT TIME!" :)
Jessica and Colin are two incredible souls. las year, Colin tried to propose to his gal at their spot on Bell Island multiple times with no luck (rain, ferry broken down, etc)... So of course when they asked if I'd be down to journey the island with them for their engagement shoot, it was a resounding yes!!
They spent hours on a beautiful breezy day exploring the beaches and cliffs of Bell Island, ending the night off with a feed of fried chicken while waiting for the final ferry boat. What a day for these two lovebirds!! All my love J+C!
When we saw this puffin chair at the new Bell Island lookout, we knew we HAD to do some hilarious "grandparents on vacation" style shots!
Hanging out and admiring the crazy view wasn't a bad way to end off this adventure. :)

Over the years I have learned that daily skin care rituals are just as important (if not more important) than the products you use on top of it. I have always found that my skin is a reflection of what I put in my body and how I take care of it. I also believe the health of my mind and emotions are just as important because the mind and body are intrinsically connected.
S k I n D e E p
Photographed by Reece Voyer taken for VITRUVI
Here are some simple skin care rituals that can make a big difference:
Hydrate: I drink at least 3 glasses of water in the morning, and continue drinking tons throughout the day. This keeps my skin fully hydrated! I like to infuse my water with ginger, lemon, or apple cider vinegar. I limit caffein to one coffee a day, after that I will have organic ginger/lemon tea, or green tea.
Eat: I eat clean whole foods and limit my intake of refined sugars, but at the same time I don't like to deprive myself, so if I really want to indulge in something I do in moderation. If I know I have an important shoot coming up I'll make clean eating more of a priority. But if theres one thing I've learned over the years it's that balance is key, and it's better to have a relaxed approach when it comes to food (and take your time to enjoy it!) rather than create more stress over being healthy, as that can be just as unhealthy.
*I like to add Tumeric (anti-inflammatory), ginger, avocado, wheatgrass, spirulina, liquid chlorophyll and berries to my smoothies. Salmon, almonds, walnuts, spinach, kale, and brightly coloured fruits and veg are also great for glowing skin.
Supplements: Every morning I take a probiotic and add a table spoon of apple cider vinegar to my water. I also take these supplements: fish oil, vitamin D, vitamin B12 and wear a topical vitamin C oil on top of my skin in the morning and/or overnight.
Stress: Definitely affects my skin (and every other part of my life), so I try to do things that help me relax like taking a walk, doing yoga, having a hot epsom salt bath before bed, and reading a book or podcast.
Sun Protection: I looooove the sun and if I had it my way I would cook in the sun all day long! BUT not without sun protection. My favorite is COOLA and Supergoop mineral sunscreen as I find they both go on super light and doesn't make me break out. Lip balms with sun protection in them are equally important!
At the end of the day just do your best with the time you have to take care of yourself and know that even having a conscious awareness of living a clean lifestyle can have a positive effect on the skin you're in. If you find you are having issues with your skin sometimes a hormone imbalance can be the cause in which case working with a naturopath can be the best way to get to the root of the issue.

BRIDGEWATER, Mass. – A header goal in overtime by senior defender Matthew Dent (Ludlow, Mass.) lifted the visiting Worcester State University men's soccer team to a dramatic 1-0 victory over Bridgewater State University in a Massachusetts State Collegiate Athletic Conference (MASCAC) matchup on Friday night at Swenson Field.
The Lancers improve to 6-4 on the season and 3-1 in the MASCAC, while the host Bears fall to 2-7-2 overall and 0-3-1 in conference play.
Dent headed home a corner kick attempt sent into the box by freshman midfielder Dillon Pooler (Southampton, Mass.) 6:34 into the first overtime session.
Shots in the game were even at 13 apiece. Four of the Lancers' 13 shots came in overtime.
Worcester senior netminder Jason Barrett (Spencer, Mass.) made four saves to record his fourth win of the season and second shutout. BSU sophomore goalkeeper Nate Morgado (Dartmouth, Mass.) turned aside two shots in the setback.
Both teams had opportunities in the first half. Barrett made a diving stop on a shot by BSU junior forward Filipe Gomes (Fogo, Cape Verde) from 15 yards out less than three minutes into the game. A quality scoring chance by sophomore midfielder Joseph Cruise (Brockton, Mass.) from ten yards out in the 12th minute was blocked by a Worcester defender. The Lancers had a goal called back due to an offside call in the 35th minute.
The Bears travel to Wheaton College on Sunday afternoon for a two o'clock non-conference game with the Lyons. The Lancers entertain non-league rival Rhode Island College next Tuesday night at seven.

Beautiful things are broken things.
Most things contain much beauty.
Whether an opinion or a truth,
broken is such a term with degrees.
If you were to say that I am beautiful,
as you had long ago,
You are to imply that I hold to a degree,
as if I was broken beautifully.
The day you decide to go,
I already know,
That I will hold myself to a higher degree.
I will be remembered broken beautifully.

College Football Bowl Predictions: Texas vs. Missouri 12/27/17
Is Texas a good bet to upset Missouri in Wednesday night's Texas Bowl at 9:00 p.m. ET?
The Odds: Texas vs. Missouri, Texas Bowl, 9:00 p.m. ET
According to oddsmakers, the Longhorns are now 3-point underdogs to upset the Tigers. Missouri opened as a 1-point favorite but the line moved to a field goal. As for the total, the number currently sits at 61.5 points after hitting the board at 60.
Texas Longhorns Injury Report
For the Longhorns, Chris Warren is skipping the game and Toneil Carter is suspended. Brandon Jones and Shane Buchele will play, however.
Missouri Tigers Injury Report
Damarea Crockett (shoulder) is probable to play tonight for the Tigers but Dimetrios Mason (personal) and Nate Strong (personal) are both out for the year.
Our Prediction
The Tigers have won six games in a row but let's run through each game. Two of those wins came against Idaho and Connecticut. Missouri also beat Florida the same week that coach Jim McElwain was fired.
The following week, the Tigers defeated Tennessee, which fired Butch Jones. Then Mizzou routed Vanderbilt on the road before edging out an Arkansas team that nearly lost to Costal Carolina.
That's not to take anything away from Missouri. That said, if you're betting the Tigers purely because they finished the season strong, understand that three of the teams they beat were in turmoil, two others were against weak non-conference foes, and the other, Vandy, didn't have a good season.
Meanwhile, the Longhorns are 5-1 against the spread in their last six neutral site games. They're 5-2 against the number in their last seven non-conference games. They're also 7-3-1 against the number in their last 11 games.
Texas Bowl Prediction: Texas Longhorns +3

Adele drops the first song of "25". Where were you at "21"?
Adele dropped her newest single "Hello" yesterday, and if you don't know it by heart already, you probably weren't one of the millions of individuals that have been waiting impatiently for this moment for 4 years with "21" playing on repeat. I vividly remember going for the $12.99 iTunes store purchase and downloading what would become the soundtrack for my next several years of life. I was in London traveling solo during the Summer of 2011; it was a very different time for me, but Adele's music kept playing throughout my changing years. I first heard "Someone Like You", the most infamous track on "21", during a yoga class in which the teacher pressed play on the sob-inducing classic during Savasana. Never before and never again has my heart beat more quickly in that final resting pose than it had during the entire class. I was floored. What was this haunting song I'd never heard before? Who was singing it? How did they find the words that countless heartbroken lovers had tried but failed to say before? Like an evangelist, I told everyone I knew about "Someone Like You." Six months later I would find myself in love with someone whom I reconnected with during my summer in London; I had little awareness of what the song would really come to mean to me.
I'd studied vocal music in high school and while my "pipes" had grown rusty and dusty since then, I decided to enroll myself in private voice lessons during my senior year of college. When my new teacher asked me what I wanted to sing that semester, my answer was obvious. She nearly rolled her eyes when I said "Someone Like You", partly because of the predictability of my choice and party because her new voice student that hadn't sung a note in five years wanted to take on the ballad of one of the greatest vocalists of our time. Still, if I could only learn a couple of songs that semester, it went without saying that I would pick "Someone Like You" to be one of them.
My then-love (calling him an ex-boyfriend seems an awfully casual and unbefitting title to give someone you shared your heart with) had come to the states for a visit during that time and I was putting the finishing touches on the song I'd been working on all semester. As classes continued during his visit, he attended a few of them with me. Voice lessons were in a tiny practice room that three people couldn't fit into, so he passed the time and came back as I was wrapping up and listened outside the doorway. After going through my song for the final time that day, I walked out of the room when my lesson ended and saw him sitting outside with small tears in his eyes. We weren't breaking up yet, but he seemed much more in touch with the fact that an end between us was near. The song he overheard me singing felt like foreshadowing.
We sat outside on a bench after my lesson and talked. What would it be like if that was us someday, he wondered out loud. We lived in two different countries and it was starting to get more and more obvious during his visit that we probably wouldn't be living in the same one anytime soon. There wasn't a big blow up fight on the horizon. Sometimes, you just know it when things are meant to come to an end.
We were both right. No more than four months later we would both be sitting on opposite ends of the phone (and the ocean) saying our final goodbyes, knowing we not see each other for a very long time...or maybe even ever again. I would listen to that song but it seemed like the bulk of my mourning was actually done while I was learning and singing the song in voice lessons. I knew what he knew back then, too. More quickly than I realized, the song became about something I'd felt in the past.
Our break-up was the first time I really understood that bitterness and tragedy aren't the only ingredients for separation. It's possible to know that someone isn't meant for us forever, and that doesn't mean they weren't still meant for us. If permanence were our only measurement for meaning, it would be hard to find any meaning in anything at all.
And so I felt lost, for what felt like a very long time, because aside from "Someone Like You", there are very few songs out there that don't make a criminal out of the person on the other end of your heartbreak. I learned it's much more challenging to have pain without an enemy than to create an enemy and disconnect ourselves from our own vulnerability. Sometimes there are no "reasons" we can see with our own eyes.
But what of our pain then? If there's no one to blame, and no "reason" for it to speak of, then what are we to make of it? How do we make it end? With no real "logical" way in, it's impossible to find a logical way out. And that's it, I realized. That's why so much of our music and so many of our books and movies are about blame and criminalizing and victimizing people when heartbreak strikes. If we don't do any of these things, we're left without a band-aid for all of our pain. And who really wants that?
To state the obvious, not many people. But if we show up and decide to feel it all (maybe with a side of Oreos and Godiva) a la Adele in "Someone Like You", we get a real gift out of it. We realize that by feeling all the pain, it's the only way to get to feel all the good stuff again, too.
Because sometimes (most of the time), there is no criminal, no logical reason. It's much more simple than that.
"Sometimes it lasts in love, but sometimes, it hurts instead."

Testimonials / Reviews
Last week was great. Many thanks to you for helping us. We all enjoyed the place, very good and I will tell my friend you have a good place to stay. Thanks again and all the best !!
We have had a great time. Nice and relaxing. The villa is excellent, well equipped and really roomy. Loads of wardrobe space, which in past holidays has been lacking (not that we have worn many clothes though – spent all but one evening in the villa!). Kitchen is good, well equipped. Air con in each room is a good idea, just turn on the one you need. Perfect for us! Disabled facilities good.
It was really refreshing to be away from the and bustle of a main resort. Pool has been great, no chlorine and just a hint of salt. Only done a salt pool once, in Crete. It was a lot saltier. This pool is spot on. Overall probably best holiday accommodation I can remember us staying in.
We used the taxi firm you recommended to go into Vilamoura; arrived on time and picked up on time; one of the most friendly drivers / people I have ever come across. He even gave us buns which his mother had made! Village shops are ok. They sell enough of the right stuff, friendly and helpful staff too. Had a peek at the local graveyard; stunning. Speaks volumes about a culture which shows respect for the deceased.
We have probably (after 18 years of trying) found the ideal type of holiday. We have had a wonderful time. Thanks…
Dorchester UK
Wheelchair accessible cottage As Casinhas, Algarve
The villa was just as described, all on one level and easy to get around. Boliqueime village which has a couple of small mini markets stocking most things you would need & a friendly coffee shop is only 10 minutes down the road (but 20 mins back due to the steep hills!) We were mainly attracted to the villa by the pool which turned out to be the easiest pool ever to get into! Many holiday places advertise wheelchair access but few live up the standard of as Casinhas. The extensive welcome pack was very welcome…
Just a quick thank you note, the villa and everything was excellent and we really enjoyed ourselves. I am sure we will call on you again and I have passed your details on to one of my mums friends who was asking about where we were going as her mum is disabled.
Thank you once again.
We have had a lovely holiday. The villa has been really suited to our needs. Lyn particulary loves the pool ramp, and the other built-in features have made her stay much easier – we will be back!
We had a fabulous time. Loved the villa and will recommend to our friends who wish to go to the Algarve. Back to work today after a 2 week hiatus (sigh). Thank you for providing wonderful accommodation and such terrific weather.
We would like to say how much we enjoyed our holiday, your Villa is so nice and the location was ideal for us. The food and drink waiting for us was very much appreciated and having Elsa during the our stay was a treat, she was so lovely. Thank you.
Thanks so much for the use of your gorgeous villa! We all had a truly wonderful time – batteries are now fully re-charged, tans cought and bellies full of great food and wine!…

Talent is an organization�s greatest asset. Services and business plans can be copied, but an organization�s people are distinct � a differentiator that can separate a company from its competition.
Today, many leaders have come to understand the bottom-line impact of bringing in top talent, yet the challenge often lies in deciphering which approach to strategic talent acquisition is best for your organization.
Would talent goals be best met by building an internal team, outsourcing complex functions to a third-party while keeping others in-house or wholly investing in a Recruitment Process Outsourcing (RPO) partnership?
Use this strategic guide to explore the various talent models and for insight into what type of investment is most likely to bring the greatest results to your organization.

Despite many negative comments I received from others regarding Russia, I blocked them all out and visited my friend in Moscow. It was a nice catch up after 7 years of not seeing each other. Have to say I didn't get robbed, stopped by police or put in prison and the drivers in Moscow are not that extreme either as I was told, some do misbehave and have to keep in mind it's a big city, with over 15million people living there and there is always someone willing to break the rules, just like in any other place. To all who wonder – Moscow is safe 😉 As I have never been to other parts of Russia, situation could be different there.
My 9 days journey living on cakes, cheese, Russian ice cream and other super delicious food began! I ate till I was in pain… Moscow is not vegan friendly but plenty of options for vegetarians. Vareniki with cheese and potatoes is a must try, they look like dumplings but better and potato pancakes too. Russian pastries is something I couldn't stop eating… It's rare when I eat sugary stuff and told that to my friend and don't think she was convinced… I could easily go back to Russia just for food. It's soooo good!
Somehow I was disappointed in Moscow, it wasn't as colourful as I imagined and because of that it felt a bit 'greyish', had too high expectations…my fault. Maybe it's a good thing and knowing how big is Moscow it would be too crazy if all buildings would be as colourful as kremlins are, no peace for mind 😀 Don't get me wrong, it's still beautiful!
And my friend done amazing job showing me around and telling me about all places, the best guide I have ever had! And ohhh days, how beautiful some tube stations are! It felt like being in a museum!!!
What felt strange for me on the first day in Moscow was seeing security gates like in airports at the entrance of tube and train stations and shopping malls. It is normal during busy periods that anyone who enters these buildings are asked to put the bag for a scan and person needs to walk through a security gate. It's just for the extra security and is nothing unusual.
That's it for now, I hope you enjoyed!

Performics Newsletter
Posted by Brad Beiter, Account Director
So you find yourself at a nice little Fortune 500 company. You're charged with managing the organization's performance marketing initiatives. But this isn't 2002. We can't just turn on Google Adwords, stuff the site full of keywords, buy 100,000 inbound links for $19.95, and manage bids with an Excel Macro that your cousin's college roommate created.
This is the real deal. Performance Marketing now has a seat at the big kids' table. You need to show you're not a cost-center, that you're not stealing sales from other channels. You need to show that you are acquiring new customers, clients, and clicks – in a profitable way.
Forget new economy. Forget Web 2.0. This is the New-New Economy Web 3.0. Old fashioned concepts are once again in vogue. Metrics like return on investment (ROI), return on ad spend (ROAS), conversion rate, average order size (AOS), application funding ratio and effective revenue share (ERS) are what every advertiser is talking about again. Advertisers need to leverage these metrics to set a target and create a well-developed plan on how to get there.
Many seem reluctant to set goals. However, if we don't set a target, there's no way to know if we're doing well or doing poorly. Some will be happy with setting a goal of "growing" or "better than last year." We tend to avoid these types of goals. What if we don't grow fast enough? What if last year we started with a smaller base, thus making year over year growth easy to produce? What if there was a huge traffic driving event last year and there's no way to reproduce it? Productive goals need to be exact and informed.
A quick example might make this simple to understand:
Widget Wonderland Worldwide, Inc. saw paid search sales of $50,000,000 for 2008. If paid search is projected to grow at 5% for 2009 (according to eMarketer) then we should target sales growth of 5% too. But wait; was 2008 a typical year for WWW, Inc.? No. Widget Wonderland launched its brand spanking new wPhone that everyone just had to have. With no new product launches set for 2009, we may have to actually manage some negative growth when compared to 2008.
Metric-driven goals are an absolute necessity in online performance marketing. The more your goal is rooted in realistic measures, the better off you'll be. Work with your Performics' Client Services team to identify proper key performance indicators (KPIs) and develop a strategic plan to reach them. Performics is dedicated to helping you achieve your goals and keeping your seat at the big kids' table secure.

To truly foster collaboration, identity federation is all about creating a trust framework for many organizations so users can log in with accounts from their home organization to access shared online services.
In many contexts, federation is used to enable users at one organization to log in to many online applications using the Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML) family of protocols.
Higher Ed and Research
This style of "mesh" federation is widely adopted by the higher education and research communities because cross-organizational collaboration is the norm.
- Many universities have partnerships that allow students from other partner schools to enroll in courses and log in to their campus Learning Management System.
- School and university systems provide central shared services for every school in their district, region, or state.
- Virtual Organizations for research projects provide shared online collaboration platforms for faculty and private researchers at organizations across the globe.
Companies can leverage mesh federation to streamline access after corporate acquisitions. Mesh federation makes it easy to allow new companies to log in with existing user accounts until everyone is ready for a full-fledged identity consolidation project.
Federation without the Frustration
Lack of Vendor Support for Mesh Federation
While many identity solutions support bi-lateral SAML federation, most do not support registration in trust federations like InCommon/eduGAIN.
Managing a Local Federation
IdP is Costly Many organizations install and run open source software solutions locally, such as SimpleSAMLphp or Shibboleth, for the singular purpose of participating in mesh federations. It can be costly to keep up with upgrades and manage integrations with the solution.
Mesh Federation Made Easy
Cirrus Identity can "bridge" your existing identity solution, such as Microsoft Azure AD, Okta, OneLogin, CAS, or LDAP to the mesh federation of your choice, such as InCommon. Our customer support and documentation make implementation easy, and you don't have to worry about running and upgrading on-prem SAML Identity Provider solutions anymore!
Add Additional Login Options
In addition to your federated partners, you can easily add login options for social providers like Google or LinkedIn, as well as our brandable hosted identity provider. You can use our configurable Discovery Service to configure an intuitive, easy-to-use login screen. We help you get your users to the services they need quickly and painlessly.
