Prying Eyes: Dissecting Google Glass16 Jul 2013 | Scott Torborg, Star Simpson
Share this page with your friends
The Glass display is very small. It is adhered to the inside of the internal frame with light glue around the edge of the display board. We scraped off the glue with a dental pick and removed the board.
For scale, it is shown pictured on top of a US dime. With a native resolution of 640x360, the pixels are roughly 1/8th the physical width of those on the iPhone 5's retina display.
Glass uses a folded light pathway consisting of only a small handful of optical elements. Collectively they make the display's image appear to float a few feet from your face, in the top right corner of your vision. Steve Mann expands upon these optical strategies in much more detail and describes some additional challenges.
In the right photo, you can see this optical pathway at work when the display is removed.
The Glass camera seems to be of typical smartphone-level size and format. It is not coaxially aligned with the wearer's eye. The camera and display appear to talk to the CPU independently, with no direct connection between each other.

Robotic glove helps restore hand movements
The device is an improvement from conventional robotic hand rehabilitation devices as it has sensors to detect muscle signals and conforms to the natural movements of the human hand.
K-Glass 2 detects users' eye movements to point the cursor to recognise computer icons or objects in the Internet, and uses winks for commands. The researchers call this interface the "i-Mouse."

ADDRESSING issues raised in an Office of Inspector General report earlier this year, the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food Safety & Inspection Service (FSIS) introduced a new guidance document to ensure the humane treatment of livestock presented for slaughter.
The document provides a set of practices that will assist FSIS-inspected establishments in minimizing potential animal handling issues.
"We have taken significant measures over the past few years to strengthen our ability to enforce humane handling laws at livestock slaughter facilities nationwide," FSIS administrator Al Almanza said. "This guidance is one example of our commitment to the humane treatment of animals. We continue to implement improvements so that we have the best system possible."
FSIS said as of this year, half of all livestock slaughter establishments have adopted its systematic approach to humane handling, meeting the agency's strategic objective three years ahead of schedule.
The new guidance is a 21-page document designed to support the development of a systematic humane handling operation and further details steps toward developing a robust regime.
"These days, the best programs are designed using this robust, systematic approach," said Norm Robertson, director of regulatory issues at the North American Meat Assn. (NAMA). "In addition to the potential regulatory enforcement benefit, these systems also have the additional benefit of being the best way to run a business."
Robertson said the written procedures and records and FSIS review required in order to be designated as a robust system could lead to additional markets for products as many larger retailers now require such programs as part of purchasing specifications.
The American Meat Institute (AMI) held a special session at its recent Animal Care & Handling Conference geared specifically toward helping smaller processors develop a systematic approach. The organization was still reviewing the FSIS guidance at press time, but a spokesman said the industry is focused on implementing robust, systematic approaches.
Almanza said FSIS is equipping employees to prevent and respond to inhumane handling incidents, delivering "more practical, situation-based humane handling training" to inspectors and veterinarians who are expected to enforce humane handling requirements at slaughter facilities. FSIS also recently created a humane handling enforcement coordinator position that will oversee the agency's implementation and daily enforcement of humane handling regulations.
Both NAMA and AMI have resources available to their members designed to help processors develop and implement a systematic humane handling approach.
The new FSIS guidance is available at the agency's website.

"I'm great at what I do. Trust me."
You probably wouldn't say this to a client or customer. And with good reason: to convince folks of your value, you need to show them, not just assert it with a wink and a nod.
You might not have stats at the ready to demonstrate the effectiveness of your work – but luckily, you don't need them. The easier way to prove your worth? With awards and certifications.
We interrupt this message for some shameless self-promotion…
My website, www.FreelanceWritingSolutions.com, recently won a WebAward for Outstanding Website from the Web Marketing Association. Yay! First of all, I love being able to hang the handsome plaque on my office wall. Second, and even better, I'm allowed to use the award logo on all my marketing materials. You better believe I will – especially on my website, right on the home page where no one can miss it.
All kidding aside, awards and certifications are the simplest means I know to impressing a client. In marketing, you should constantly focus on giving your clients confidence in your ability to help them. And that's what awards and certifications do, instantly.
A Tale of Two Websites
Take my website as an example. If you were looking for a freelance writer and came across my site, you'd notice my Web Marketing Association award logo right away. This would encourage you to stay on my site a little longer, and you might click over to my Credentials page. There you'd see that I'm certified to write SEO (search engine optimized) web copy, that I belong to three different professional organizations, and that over the past several years I've won ten awards for my work.
Now, what if you found another freelance writer's site, and he had no awards or certifications? I would instantly appear to be the better bet, even if his experience were comparable.
Enter My Dirty Little Secret
Want to hear the best part about awards and certifications? They're not too hard to get. If you're even halfway good at what you do, they can land in your lap with relatively no effort on your part.
Yet, to your clients, it doesn't matter how easy it was to earn the recognition. All they see is that much needed validation that you're not a huckster and you actually know your stuff. (The fancy term for this is "social proof.")
Go Grab Some Awards and Certificates
If it's not hard to get them, how exactly do you do it? Here are some tips…
- Google it. Do a Google search on "awards [your industry]," and investigate the top 5 results. Make it a habit to apply for an award at least twice a year. Chances are, at some point, you'll garner recognition.
- Don't forget local. Search for awards offered by your local newspaper, business journal, or chamber of commerce. Then look for statewide opportunities. The competition will be lower, and your local clients might appreciate them more.
- Consider a certificate in something you already know. Even if you're well schooled in a particular area, you might want to shell out a few bucks to get that slip of paper signifying your knowledge. For instance, I had been writing SEO web copy for several years before I completed a certification program. Although there wasn't a lot new for me to learn, the certification has been VERY helpful in quantifying my SEO experience for prospective clients. Before, I'd have to explain that I knew what I was doing, and the client would just have to trust me. Now, the client sees my certification and instantly sees me as an expert. It's helped me close many new projects.
- Think outside the box. Paul Feith owns Paul Gregory Media, a marketing firm that I frequently partner with. Paul Gregory Media is BBB-certified. Initially, this didn't make sense to me. I think of plumbers or electricians when I think of BBB businesses, not marketing firms. But Paul explained that this certification really resonates with some of the service firms that are his clients. Paul said, "Some industries value particular certifications over others. For example, building, plumbing and electrical contractors typically value BBB ratings in their industry, and so it makes sense for them to find their vendors through the same source. By certifying my business through BBB, I was able to qualify my business and gain a competitive advantage in that demographic."
Then Spread the Word – And Make It Rain
How can you get the most out of your awards and certifications? Use them EVERYWHERE. Put them on your website and in your brochures. Include them in proposals. Add them to your email signature. Highlight them with online and offline press releases. And anywhere else you can think of.
Remember: Obtaining awards and certifications doesn't have to take a ton of effort … but it can be INCREDIBLY effective in building instant credibility with your clients. That's what you call a "win-win"!

What You'll Get
Hot potato, the earliest dish designed to be passed, is nearly extinct due to the constant ravages of grade-school appetites. Revive shifting sustenance with today's Groupon: for $15, you get $35 worth of tapas and drinks at The Gourmet Emporium in Olde Walkerville. The Gourmet Emporium is a tapas bar and dance club with a sophisticated atmosphere and excellent service. The multifarious menu is based around tapas ($5–$16), small plates that are meant for nibbling with friends or for teaching the art of sharing to emotionally stunted adults. A popular choice for indecisive Irenes and vacillating Victors are the $25 and $35 seven-course tasting menus, which include a predetermined selection of tantalizing tapas and desserts. Bouches are well amused with a goat-cheese mousse over crostini, while salad-course selections include a caprese salad of locally grown tomatoes and bocconcini cheese sprinkled liberally with Chilean avocado oil. Heavy flavour hitters follow, such as the samosas, an east Indian delight packing a pastry-wrapped punch of spiced potatoes and peas fashionably flanked by a duo of saucy dipping implements. Dishes such as blackened salmon duke it out with grilled-portobello pasta for the taste title, while lucky course number seven wraps up the culinary parade with delicate desserts such as cheesecake, crème brûlée, and flourless chocolate cake.
Purchasers of this Groupon can also use it toward The Gourmet Emporium's lengthy wine list and luscious libations. Housed in a restored bank building, The Gourmet Emporium offers an architecturally appealing interior for dining or late-night dancing. Live music is often found cruising the crowd, and themed nights spicy up the week, such as Latin night on Thursday, when guests dressed in sweater vests bring resurrected textbooks of the long-dead language. Free parking is available.
Restaurantica users give The Gourmet Emporium a 3.7-star average rating. It has more than 250 Facebook group members:

An Evil Presence Visits a Baby In This 'The Lullaby' Clip [Exclusive]
You'll wish you never brought your baby home.
Uncork'd Entertainment gives birth to evil with The Lullaby, in theaters and VOD March 2, 2018, Bloody Disgusting learned.
In the film, "Chloe is overwhelmed by the birth of her first child. The incessant crying of her baby, the growing sense of guilt and paranoia sends her into depression. With a heightened urge to protect her son, Chloe sees danger in every situation. She starts to hear voices, the humming of a childhood lullaby and sees flashes of a strange entity around her child. Convinced that the entity is real, Chloe will do everything in her power to protect her son. Is she haunted by evil or is it just the baby blues?"
Reine Swart, Deànré Reiners, Thandi Puren, Brandon Auret, and Dorothy-Ann Gould star in the Darrell James Roodt film, which looks incredibly well made.
Check out this exclusive clip in which something comes to check in on the baby…

If you are wondering that I have posted more sparkling wine reviews than usual recently, it is for the reason that I have just completed the sparkling unit exam for the Wine & Spirits Education Trust (WSET) diploma. The exam involved reviewing three sparkling wines blind, and writing three long responses to questions on aspects of sparkling wine regions and production in 65 minutes, and several months of preparation. It is not particularly easy. That the sparkling wine exam included a South African sparkling and a vintage dated German sparkling riesling suggests that the examiners have a sense of humour for candidates such as myself based in Australia. Well, that's how I have rationalised it anyway!
As usual, the process of tasting and in depth studying has resulted in my interest in wines of the style maturing to engagement. There are some remarkable sparkling wine bargains to be had with the Cremants of France, particularly Cremant de Bourgogne, down south in Limoux, across in the Prosecco region in north eastern Italy and, I think, in Tasmania too. In time, I think I will come to regard the sparkling wine unit as fondly as the fortified wines unit that introduced me to some brilliant Palo Cortado sherries and Madeira styles, and confirmed Rutherglen's high standing in a global sense.
The next exam is the table wines of the world. It involves reviewing twelve wines blind as well as a three hour paper on almost any aspect of table wines in the world. So, it is basically going to be quite difficult. Strangely enough, though, I think this is probably my idea of fun. Reflecting on this, poring over wine region minutae I suspect forms a cord of sorts connecting my professional life and studies with my interest in wine. Consequently, expect over the next few months a greater number of old world and obscure (at least from an Australian point of view) wine reviews. As ever, interspersed will be notes on wines that I have liked or have been kindly sent.

T-Mobile's Flash Mob at Trafalgar Square
In the world of advertising, it is common for one to think about generating Attention first before anything else.
After all, that age-old mnemonic AIDA (Attention, Interest, Desire, Action) is predicated on the ability to capture your target audience's eyeballs/ eardrums in the cacophony of marketing clutter.Read More
Participants of one of Singapore's first Flash Mob (Courtesy of nuffnangsg)
By now, almost everybody would have heard of the phenomenon of flash mobbing, which is essentially involves an orchestrated mass activity where people congregate in a particular location to perform a specific act. According to Wikipedia, flash mobs are normally mobilised through social media channels like viral emails, SMSes, social networking platforms (especially Facebook and Twitter) or other social media channels.
The most famous Flash Mob group on the planet is probably Improve Everywhere based in New York City which is founded by Charlie Todd in August 2001. With more than 80 missions under its belt, the worldwide group is probably the most prolific flash mobbing organisation on the planet.Read More

Chandra Wilson, We Celebrate your Amazingness!
Actress Chandra Wilson was born August 27, 1969, in Houston, Texas. She made her New York stage debut in 1991. She also began to land guest spots on a variety of prime-time television shows. She made her big-screen debut in the 1993 film Philadelphia. In 2005, she landed the breakthrough role she had been waiting for as Dr. Miranda Bailey on the wildly popular ABC prime-time show Grey's Anatomy.
Her mother, a postal worker, wanted to keep her daughter active, so she enrolled Chandra in a litany of after-school activities that would set the course for her show business career. By the age of five, Wilson was performing in musicals with Houston's Theatre Under the Stars company.
She made her New York debut in a 1991 production of The Good Times Are Killing Me and won a Theater World Award for Outstanding Debut Performance. Her other early stage credits include off-Broadway productions of Paper Moon: The Musical and Little Shop of Horrors.
While she was making a name for herself on the New York stage, Wilson also began to land guest spots on a variety of prime-time television shows. She appeared on The Cosby Show (1989), Law & Order (1992) and CBS' Schoolbreak Special (1992). She made her big-screen debut alongside Tom Hanks and Denzel Washington in the highly acclaimed 1993 film Philadelphia. Despite receiving high praise for nearly all of her performances, however, Wilson struggled for many years to gain more prominent roles. For eight years, while she tried to break into major stardom, Wilson worked part-time as a teller at Deutsche Bank in order to make ends meet.
Throughout the late 1990s and early 2000s, Wilson continued to turn in memorable, if brief, performances on popular TV shows. She appeared on Third Watch (2001), Sex and the City (2002), The Sopranos (2004) and in sporadic episodes of Law And Order: SVU.
Then, in 2005, 15 years after she made her television debut on The Cosby Show, Wilson finally landed the breakthrough role she had been waiting for as Dr.Miranda Bailey on the wildly popular ABC sitcom Grey's Anatomy. The part of Dr. Bailey, supervisor to the hospital interns, had been written for a petite, Caucasian blonde, but Wilson, a full-figured African-American woman, gave such an impressive audition that the show's producers decided to give her the part.
Wilson was nominated for four consecutive Emmy Awards (2006-2009) and won four consecutive NAACP Image Awards (2007-2010) for Best Supporting Actress in a Drama Series. She also won the 2008 People's Choice Award for Favorite Scene-Stealing Star. In 2009, while still starring on Grey's, Wilson took a brief hiatus from the show to return to Broadway as Mama Morton in a revival of Chicago.
The always-humble Wilson says that the only difference between her acting career now and her acting career a decade ago is that people actually recognize her on the street. ~

When the big ships start calling The Port of Halifax will be ready with a $35-million expansion of the South End Container Terminal nearing completion and on track to begin operations this spring.
"About 100 feet of deck remains to be laid at the pier extension, so it is about two-thirds complete," Michele Peveril, with the Halifax Port Authority, said Monday in an interview.
The big ships Peveril referred to are those known in the industry as post-Panamax container ships that are much wider than traditional container ships and capable of carrying 10,000 and 15,000 containers or more.
At the south end terminal – operated by Halterm Ltd. – the enhancements that are cost-shared between the authority and the federal government are intended to allow the terminal to simultaneously berth and service two full-sized post-Panamax ships.
The depth of the berth was extended from 14.5 to 16 metres and the pier is currently being extended to a length of 80 metres.
This is all happening at a time when the port is operating at about 40 per cent of its capacity and with the expectation global economic conditions will come out of the doldrums, bringing the bigger container ships to Halifax.
"We'll experience a trickle down effects of larger mid-sized ships coming here as the shipping companies begin to use the biggest container ships on their major routes," said Peveril.
Post-Panamax ships already call on Halifax, about 142 visited the port in 2011, said Peveril, but enhancements at the south end terminal will allow greater flexibility with scheduling and operations on the terminal property.
"Container ship schedules are often changing and this increased flexibility and the ability to handle more vessels at the same time is a feature we can use to market our facilities," she said.
A reconfiguration of the approach road to the extended pier and improvements to the container handling areas are also to be undertaken as part of the work at the terminal.
Macquarie Infrastructure Partners, the Australian banking group that owns Halterm Ltd. announced last spring it will soon bring in a couple of $10-million cranes to handle the bigger loads from the wider container ships expected to begin calling at Pier C at the 29-hectare facility.
There are a couple of big cranes at Halterm capable of handling the bigger ships, but these new ones will be larger and more efficient, said Peveril.
Work is also proceeding on schedule with the $73-million revamp of Richmond Terminal where some piers beneath and beside the facility are being replaced and a new access road constructed.
The terminal, near the A. Murray MacKay Bridge and right beside the Irving-owned Halifax Shipyard, is mostly a break bulk cargo facility and will be capable of handling much larger pieces when the revamp is completed.
Peveril said the port authority is also putting about $8 million into infrastructure improvements at Ocean Terminals (break bulk), Fairview Cove Container Terminal and at the Halifax Grain Elevator.

[VIDEOS] R34 Nissan Skyline GT-R Is the Latest Sports Car to Crash at Nürburgring
Nicknamed the "Green Hell" by racing legend Jackie Stewart, the Nürburgring Motorsports Complex in Germany is no stranger to drama. It is the very racetrack where legendary F1 driver Niki Lauda almost burned to death in a fiery crash back in 1976, and just last year an Audi SQ7 prototype tasted the track's wall. Now a new video has recently surfaced on YouTube showing a R34 Nissan Skyline GT-R spinning out and hitting the wall hard at the famous track.
Fuel For Thought: Do you know the difference between AWD and 4WD?
While Nürburgring is well-known for its competitive races, the track is also open to testing sessions that allow regular folk the opportunity to smoke their tires and tune their rides at the complex. Unfortunately, in the video posted by YouTube user nordschleife96, the driver of a classic R34 Nissan Skyline GT-R suffered from a fit of understeer, which resulted in the iconic Japanese sports car slamming into the metal barrier.
The driver appears to have escaped from the crash unharmed, but the same couldn't be said for his Nissan GT-R, as it had to be towed off the track on a flatbed truck.
The R34 Nissan Skyline GT-R was only produced between 1998 and 2002. The vehicle was helped made famous by appearances in video games like Grand Turismo and Need for Speed, as well as making an appearance in the Fast & Furious franchise.
The newest version of the Nissan GT-R was recently unveiled at the New York International Auto Show, where we learned the 2017 model will feature a new V-motion grille and has 20 more horsepower over the previous offering, but what matters most is that Olympic sprinter Usain Bolt has given the new GT-R his official seal of approval.

Samuel Huist is easily the tallest member (6-feet 5-inches) of the The News Wheel team. He enjoys listening to hip-hop music and loves watching NBA basketball. Sam is also a Dayton, Ohio native and doesn't seem to mind that distinction as much anymore. His first car was a 1996 Ford Taurus he could barely fit in. Like many young folks, he seemed more concerned about the radio in his first car than actually doing the work to maintain an automobile, so sadly it's no longer with us.

Animal rights activists had planned on protesting at the hearing in two weeks, but everything has changed.
Army vet, Marina Rollins, 23, and her boyfriend, Jarren Heng, 25, were accused of shooting Rollins's service dog, filming it and posting the video on social media.
Rollins was found dead early Sunday.
It's believed that she killed herself.
Fayetteville Police Lt. Todd Joyce said Sunday investigators believe that 23-year-old Marinna Rollins killed herself.
Joyce declined to explain what evidence detectives found. He says police were called to her apartment early Sunday around 3am after her body was found by friends, who were having trouble contacting her.
Rollins pictured here:
Authorities say the dog was adopted by Rollins' estranged husband Matt Dyer, who left the dog he named Huey behind with his wife before being deployed to South Korea for a year.
'I felt like her having to take care of Huey would be good for her and would be good for Huey,' Dyer said, according to WNCN.
While he was away, Rollins had the dog certified as her emotional support dog, and renamed him Camboui.
Here is a photo of the dog at the Animal Shelter before being adopted by Matt Dyer:
Rollins had taken a medical retirement from the Army due to Post Traumatic Stress Disorder due to an incident that occurred when she was serving in South Korea.
Having a dog around might help her with that.
But… did she steal the dog from her ex?
Then she and her new beau did the unthinkable…
The two reportedly tied the dog up to a tree and then Heng filmed Rollins shooting the dog to death.
Rollins reportedly laughed in the video and then Heng asked if he could shoot the animal as well. Heng shot the dog five times with a rifle in quick succession.
In the video, Rollins can also be heard saying 'It's been real … I love you, you're my puppy, you're a
good puppy, but…'

On the video, Rollins then drags the dog's body around and buries it in a shallow grave.
When questioned, the couple said that the dog had health problems and cost them $75 per week to feed.
Before killing Huey/Camboui, the couple posted updates making it look like they had found a home for the dog:
Watch the edited video (WARNING: Some readers may still find this disturbing)
It looks like Rollins isn't laughing now.

"You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden. Nor do people light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a stand, and it gives light to all in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father in heaven."--Matthew 5:14-16 Over the past week, Matthew and I have been studying the Christmas traditions of different countries around the world. One of the countries we studied was Italy, where Christmas, it is believed began. In the second or third century, during the time of the early church, Christians in Rome chose to make a stand against their country's pagan celebration, called Saturnalia. Instead, the story goes that they chose to celebrate the birth of Christ on the same day that Saturnalia began, which was December 25.
Just a quick thought today: how are we doing as a body of believers in standing up against our times? As our culture becomes more and more commercial in our Christmas celebrations, are we, am I, standing against it or am I just going along with it? Am I swept up in the thirst of a good deal or do I remember that gift giving is an act of love? With each passing year, the sales start earlier, but will I take a stand and set Him first?
This doesn't mean we're not going to put a Christmas tree up or buy presents for the ones we love. But for me, it means saying "Merry Christmas" when the checker rings up my purchases and says "Happy Holidays." It means spending time each evening reading an Advent devotional with the kids. It means taking those teachable moments with my children to reflect on the miracle of what Jesus did for us by laying down his glory to take on flesh on our behalf.
I hope you'll join me in the celebration!

Later this year the world will be treated to the hotly anticipated Pitch Perfect 3, which I'm pretty sure is going to be aca-amazing and what a great opportunity we had to speak with the incredibly talented director of the new film, Trish Sie. This will be her second feature film, following her directorial debut of Step Up All In (2014).
Sie comes with a host of experience, starting out as a choreographer she helped direct hit videos for OK Go, including most recently the world's first zero gravity music video "Upside Down & Inside Out". Sie also directed the band's breakout video, "Here it Goes Again" winning her a Grammy Award for Best Music Video. Not only has Sie directed, she's also produced and written short films. With all this experience, it is easy to see why she is the perfect choice to direct the latest Pitch Perfect film.
So, firstly a huge thanks Trish for taking the time to talk with the NFF. Our first question...
NFF: You have had the opportunity to direct one of the most anticipated films of the year - Pitch Perfect 3. At this stage what can you tell our readers about the film?
TS: The Bellas are back! Out of college and out in the real world, they get together for one more adventure by taking off on an international USO tour. Lots of great music, absurd moments, quirky characters, and some unexpected twists and turns. It's a bigger, weirder, more exciting Pitch Perfect world then we've seen yet.
Above - The Pitches: Anna Kendrick, Brittany Snow, Rebel Wilson, Anna Camp, Hana Mae Lee, Chrissie Fit, Ester Dean, Kelley Jakle, and Shelley Regner in Pitch Perfect 3 (2017) Image source: IMDB
NFF: The Pitch Perfect cast is an incredible bunch of ladies – what was it like to direct them? And what was your main objectives when working with these actresses?
TS: They're incredible-- so devoted to this franchise and their characters... true professionals and artists. They work really hard at the singing and dancing, of course. But they also work really hard at developing their story arcs, navigating the nuances of their performances. They think through every line and each scene; they help each other imagine the possibilities; they offer each other ideas and inspiration. It was really collaborative and exciting. At this point, the actors are so close as friends and they've been through so much together, it really feels like family. My main objective was to foster an environment where they feel safe to try things and make suggestions, to minimize stress and drama so that everyone can enjoy the process and let their natural joy and creative energy drive the movie. Pitch Perfect 3 is an exuberant buddy movie about friendship and supporting one another, so those themes had to be present in our every-day process in order to saturate the film in an authentic way. So mostly, I felt like I was the "protector," creating a bubble where we could play and be totally honest.
NFF: How did you feel taking over a sequel in a hugely successful series? Was your approach to directing any different because it's a sequel?
TS: I had big shoes to fill, of course. On the one hand, it's nice to walk into a project that has so much momentum and character baked into it already. It's also a little daunting, obviously. It was important to shepherd the world of Pitch Perfect to a new place-- to let it grow and mature-- but also to honour and respect the existing framework and characters. I want to meet the expectations of fans, but part of that means giving audiences the right number of surprises and left turns so they can be pleasantly challenged. Ultimately, this was about taking Pitch Perfect to the next level, but in a way that feels satisfying to all the people who adore these characters and their stories.
NFF: The Pitch Perfect series has an amazing back catalogue of songs already, how did you go about choosing tracks for the new film? We're you tempted to get your brother involved the music?
TS: Picking music for this movie was one of the most delicious challenges of all. There are so many excellent songs in the world. New songs, old songs, every genre and tone. It was important to us to give our ears variety-- pick songs from as many different categories as possible. And sometimes, reinvent the songs so they sound different from the original, while other times try to play it straight. We wanted a lot of songs our young audience will recognize and sing along to, but also a few vintage throwback tracks that their parents (or even grandparents) will dig. The music team was fantastic at digging deep to find songs and then arrange them for whatever scenario we needed.
NFF: You won a Grammy for the brilliant music video "Here we go again" for the band OK Go. How did winning this award help with your career? Do you feel this helped to provide a stepping stone to other opportunities?
TS: For sure! I would never be here, doing this, without that video. I never fancied myself a director or aspired to make movies. I just liked creating things and capturing interesting moments or events on film or video, for posterity. It never occurred to me that this impulse is the basis for all filmmaking.
NFF: I wanted to ask you about another incredible music video with OK Go called "Upside Down & Inside Out". This is the world's first Zero Gravity music video, tell me how it all came together. I'm intrigued about the logistics of this and who was responsible for the idea?
TS: My brother, Damian, and I had been imagining a music video in weightlessness ever since we got the opportunity to fly in the US plane that simulates zero-g down in Florida. It seemed like it would never be feasible to actually accomplish our dreams because it would require so much time in an airplane, flying the special manoeuvres and creating a space where we could experiment adequately to make something truly new and different, something that didn't feel random but could be rehearsed and replicated, over and over. It wasn't until S7 (the Russian airline) came to OK Go asking for pitches that we realized maybe it could become a reality after all. And sure enough, S7 was willing to take the leap of faith and make this crazy thing that no one could exactly picture until we were practically finished.
NFF: Dance is clearly an important part of your life; and films such as Step Up All In showcased incredible dance routines and I was wondering what are the biggest challenges when filming large choreographed song and dance numbers?
TS: Filming dance is so much fun. I'd say the biggest challenge is simply creating material that works on camera-- most moves tend to looks smaller, slower, easier, and way less dramatic on camera than they do in real life. It's depressing! As a dancer or a choreographer (or even someone watching a rehearsal in a room), you know the movement is spectacular and magical. Then you watch it on a screen and it falls flat. Or just looks..... MEH. So again, you have to leave time to play. To experiment. To let the camera tell you what it likes to see. And then you have to find the angles the maximize the impact you want to achieve-- low to the ground? High overhead? Seeing details or taking in the big picture? And of course, does the camera get involved in the choreography, moving and changing, or is it more of a fly on the wall? It's all a series of decisions and choices. I find it's just important to keep a very open mind and not assume I know the answer until I see it through a lens.
Above: Step Up All In. Image source: IMDB
NFF: Here at the Norwich Film Festival we are proud of our increasing submissions from female filmmakers but there's still a long way to go- any advice for women starting out in the industry?
TS: Keep making stuff. Don't look for perfection, look for opportunities. Stay calm, stay focused, but stay passionate. Don't let people tell you that you can't do something. But also, try not to get mad. There are so many reasons to be angry-- and sometimes, those reasons are EXCELLENT-- but anger is rarely a good place for your energy. Move away from it and make something instead. Be a badass, but not necessarily the same way you see dudes be badasses. Be a female badass- let that mean whatever you want, just know it doesn't mean you have to be "one of the guys" to get it done like a boss.
NFF: At what point in your life did you start thinking about becoming a filmmaker? And what films inspired you growing up?
TS: As a kid (AND NOW!) I always loved dance movies and dark comedies and James Bond movies. And sci-fi! I've always loved sci-fi. It wasn't until I started being noticed for shooting dance that it occurred to me I could make a living behind a camera. A camera was always a tool for recording information for my own future reference, rarely as a method of communicating ideas or stories to OTHERS. So, when the OK Go videos started taking off, I realized I liked putting things on film for people to see.
NFF: How did you get your big break into the industry? Looking back what had been your biggest opportunities and challenges?
TS: My biggest break was probably landing my agents-- both commercial and theatrical. They brought me chances to try new things, meet inspiring or influential people, grow as a director, make money... from commercials to experimental art projects to short films to branded content to movies.
NFF: And finally, what is next for you?
TS: I don't know yet! Been pretty deep in Pitch Perfect as we polish up the edit. Then onto something new! I'm just starting to read scripts again and imagine where I want to go. I'm really only now pulling my head out of my Pitch Perfect butt... I'm like a hibernating animal, waking up again and blinking in the sun.

Throughout The Car Industry
Checking Your Bulbs May Be A "Bright Idea" But I'm Too Awesome A Writer To Stoop To Such Punnery
There have been quite a few how-to-ish articles posted around here but none has covered my particular automobile-upkeep-related pet peeve (OK, one of my many): burned-out bulbs.
Now I know what you're thinking: "borrrrrriiiinnnnng." Well, you are not far from Truthsville on that one. But seeing as how the burned-out taillight is practically the state symbol of Michigan these days—I'm still waiting to hear back from the governor on my idea, though, so it's still "unofficial"—MANY of you need to need to be bored with this.
Bored into ACTION, that is!
By using my patented—again, unofficial, but still awesome—One-Person Lamp Checking System you can check almost every exterior light your car has all at once. No, it's not magic, or at least not the kind of magic that would earn me fame, riches and everything else that damn Criss Angel dude has.
But I digress.
First off, let me note that not every car is the same and some may not conform to this method of checkery. Also, by continuing to read past the end of this sentence, you agree to waive all rights to sue/blame/curse me or my employer for anything that might happen anywhere even NEAR your car, now and forever.
Good. Here's what you do:
When entirely safe to do so—say, in your driveway or a parking lot—put the key in and turn it to the position right before the one that makes loud boom-boom sounds come from your tailpipe.
Apply your parking brake or equivalent, then put the shifting stick in the "R" position. [If your car starts rolling STOP IT (literally), skip the "R" part and move on to the next bit.]
Turn on your headlamps and any "supplemental illumination" (driving/fog lamps), activate your hazard flashers and roll down your driver's window. [Why on the last one? Two reasons: locking your keys in your car sucks and there's something you have to do next that is easier when the window's down.]
You can now—hopefully—walk around your car and verify that your headlamps, parking lamps, turn signals, tail lamps, backup bulbs, cornering lamps, etc., all work. Once you're back to your starting point, reach through the window, activate your "high beams," walk back to the front of your car and check those.
Ta-da! Pretty cool, no? Well, we're still not done. What comes next is your chance to check your backup bulbs if you couldn't before and to learn the secret to how one can see their brake lights whilst singly operating a motorcar.
Every town has strip malls, office parks and other establishments that have glass-front "architecture" you can—carefully—back up towards. Once you find such a building you just have to back up towards it—carefully—and check your car's reflection to verify that everything back there that's supposed to be lit-up is.
So there you go. I have just given away my hard-earned bulb-verification system's secrets for free and without compensation. Well, that's not exactly true. You will have spared BOTH of us from a possible road-rage-fueled, salty-language-filled talking-to/yelling-at when you seemingly turn, back-up or stop without signaling even though you really DID signal but because the bulb(s) was/were burnt-out the other person didn't see any signal so despite your best intentions and otherwise-safe driving habits you….
Well, you get the idea.
NOTE: If Johnny Law pulls you over for a "burned-out taillight", do NOT use having implemented my "system" as an excuse for calling the law-enforcement professional at your window a filthy liar, especially in a loud voice or with fast and varied hand-movements. Their pants are undoubtedly NOT on fire, and most of them don't cotton to your brand of humor.
[I'm not saying I have first-hand experience with this, but let's all just agree to it being a bad idea, regardless….]

Vegetarian Lasagna Recipe With Caramelized Onions And Spinach
27.09.2017 01:57
Tortillas are a Mexican staple that can be found at any Mexican feast, but they can also be found in most American pantries as well. Americans use tortillas not only to create Mexican taco lasagna using tortillas, but to also create American meals as well. Here are just ten ways you can use this Mexican staple.
A slow cooker mexican lasagna tortillas allows you to do some of your prep work the night before. Cut up or chop all the vegetables and the meat for the recipe. Combine the seasonings and the liquids. Place your vegetables, meats, and seasonings in separate covered containers and refrigerate them. The next day, you can just place all the ingredients for the recipe in the specified order into the slow cooker mexican lasagna and cook as directed.
But, let's face it. When you're enjoying a helping of creamy mac slow cooker mexican lasagna and cheese you're only thinking about how good it is. If you're dieting, it's better to skip it all together than try eating a low-calorie version - it just won't taste the same.
To eat it, season with a little salt and pepper if desired. You can add a bit of butter to taste also. Then, scrape at the meat of the squash with the tines of your fork and you will pull away long, stringy fibers. Eat and enjoy. You will be able to scrape this down to a paper thin hull.
If your dad likes hot and spicy chili sauce, you can send him a basket that contains red chili and chili lasagna seasoning, as well as cowboy seasoning that can be sprinkled on just about anything. Also included in the basket are spicy Jalapeno cheese that will add even more heat to the chili seasoning. To tame the heat, he will find a cheddar cheese triangle, Focaccia crisps and water crackers. For dessert, he will find cookies and peanut butter prezel nugggets. A bandanna is included in the basket for him to wipe off the sweat from his forehead.
Bell Peppers 0 SHU The green ones are unripe, but have a much longer shelf life. If the green ones "repeat" on you, try eating a ripe colorful one in red, yellow or orange instead.
If you really want to make this the absolute best lasagna recipe, you can make your own homemade marinara or meat sauce to use in it. Our developers used a homemade meat sauce that was so delicious, it almost got eaten up before it could be used to make the best lasagna recipe here. Watch out for that!

AOFAS offers some prevention tips for a pain-free summer
(Rosemont, IL – July 7, 2009) Injury-free running is the goal of any runner, whether a serious competitor or a weekend warrior out for a pleasure run. The American Orthopaedic Foot & Ankle Society also wants people to enjoy physical activities, such as running, without doing any harm to their foot or ankle. By taking a few careful steps, both before, during and after running, injuries may be avoided or certainly kept to a minimum.
AOFAS offers runners a few preventative tips when getting started:
The AOFAS also offers some excellent Technique Tips for runners since an important part of prevention includes proper running technique.
AOFAS member Judith F. Baumhauer, MD, of the University of Rochester School of Medicine states that, "Symptoms are a great guide in running. Common sense is a good barometer of when something is wrong and professional help is needed. A running shoe often comes with a well- cushioned arch support. If you have the need for extra cushioning, an over-the-counter insert can be used. In this day and age, the materials used in the over- the-counter inserts are excellent for cushioning or for applying extra pads (such as a metatarsal pad) for toe joint pain or a neuroma. I call this "Mcgivering" the insert to customize it to you. There are some differences among over-the-counter supports that affect their usefulness. There are rigid ones that are not very cushioning and can be awkward to run in; therefore I would recommend a softer, cushioned insert. The length of the insert can be either three-quarter or full-length. I recommend full-length for running as I think the ledge on the three-quarter length ones can be uncomfortable."
She continued, "Another important, and commonly unknown factor for people living in geographic areas where there is not enough sunlight, such as the northeast, is to have an adequate dosage of Vitamin D and calcium for both men and women. A deficit in these areas can increase your risks for stress fractures due to the increased load on the foot with running. This re-emphasizes the need for cushioning and shock absorption in the shoes."

When you hear the word "homelessness," what comes to mind? If you are like most people, you probably think of the men who sleep on the hot-air grates in downtown Toronto. That is the image that so often accompanies media stories about homelessness.
Several things about that image hide the reality of homelessness for many Canadians. The first part is the person's gender and age. There are many homeless women and children too, although in their case it seldom takes the form of sleeping on the street. That is another problem with the image – it equates homelessness with street life. In reality, homelessness can take multiple forms, including moving from shelter to shelter or "couch-surfing" (that is, staying with friends when one loses one's own home).
The image usually features a solitary figure, which obscures the fact that entire families may become homeless. Indeed, some of those who appear to be alone may simply be separated from their families by homelessness. Finally, the setting (downtown in a big city) is a cliché. Homelessness exists in towns and cities of all sizes, in the suburbs and in rural areas, and in all the provinces of Canada.
Last year, I helped edit an online book collecting the best Canadian research available on homelessness. The thirty chapters encompassed the experiences of women and their children, Aboriginal people, frail seniors, youth, immigrants (some of whom become homeless shortly after arriving in Canada). They included research on food insecurity, social stigma, moneymaking strategies, child custody, the physical and mental health problems of homeless people, and the intersection of homelessness and crime, as well as promising efforts to reduce homelessness or alleviate some of its effects.
Did we cover the full spectrum of the problem? Not even close. This week we added another ten chapters to fill the many gaps.
One important new chapter is about homelessness among women in Canada's North, a particularly urgent issue. Yukon, Northwest Territories, and Nunavut share a high cost of living, limited employment opportunities, underdeveloped infrastructure, and a shortage of social services. Women who lose their housing have few places to turn. Yet we hear very little about their plight in the rest of Canada.
Another chapter deals with homelessness among Aboriginal peoples in the Prairie provinces. This group spends a lot of time on the move, and many go back and forth between urban centres that offer work, services, and a wider range of housing options, and their home communities, which offer a connection to family and traditions. Yet in neither place are these people completely at home.
A third chapter looks at homeless women in small cities and towns in Ontario, social isolation, low-quality social services, and weak public transit infrastructure create barriers to seeking help.
We also consider the ethics of research into homelessness. It is important to understand and communicate the experiences of people who often have no voice in society, but it is equally important not to appropriate their voices. Many of the chapters contain the words of homeless people, men and women, young and old, describing their stories and tryng to make sense of an arduous life in a hostile world.
In presenting these diverse perspectives on homelessness, we hope to remind Canadians that homeless has not disappeared, even though the recent economic downturn has meant that many people are too worried about their own futures to pay attention to the plight of those even less fortunate.
At the same time, we stress that although homelessness affects a diverse group of people, it is not a complex problem. Yes, you read that correctly: it is not a complex problem.
After all these years of research and policy analysis and documenting the lived experience of those affected and those who provide support services, we know what the causes of the problem are. That means we know what the solutions are.
When individuals or families run into serious difficulty in one or more of the three key areas that support a decent standard of living, they may find themselves unhoused and potentially on a downward spiral. The three areas are: housing, income, and support services. Groups already facing inequities, discrimination, and violence are often the first to face difficulties in these areas when the economic tide changes.
An adequate standard of living means not only that good-quality health care is available to everyone, but also access to adequate housing, employment at a living wage, and essential support services must also be available for everyone, not just those who can afford them – and that systemic inequities are addressed in social policy.
We know what we need. We need social protections that prevent people from becoming unhoused. We need programs that ensure that no one will be unhoused for more than a very brief period should a crisis of some sort arise. We need policies that correct historic and systemic inequities, and that provide adequate, affordable and secure housing, an adequate income or income support when needed, and adequate support services if these are required (for addictions, mental health, and so on). Only then will we begin to solve the problem of homelessness.

Just when I think I've got a debate resolved in my head, new research comes along and makes me think again. I'd like to put a question to blog readers... Last year, I wrote
Last year, I wrote a policy paper on the Housing First model of rapid rehousing of the homeless.
In the paper, I argue that the Housing First model, unlike the "treatment first" model, does not require homeless people to go through a transition to "housing readiness" (i.e. learning money-management skills, learning life skills, following the treatment plan of a psychiatrist, etc.). Instead, the Housing First approach provides homeless persons with almost immediate access to permanent housing.
In the paper, I also argue that the academic literature on Housing First is very positive, demonstrating that Housing First appears to work very well for up to 90 percent of people it tries to house.
Moreover, I argue in the paper that in just a one-year span in the lead-up to the publication of my paper, staff from Toronto's Housing First program (known as "Streets to Homes," or S2H for short) had travelled to 23 different Canadian cities to discuss the program with local officials.
Furthermore, Regina, Ottawa, Grand Prairie, Lethbridge, Calgary and Edmonton had all sent contingents of staff to Toronto to learn from S2H officials.
Finally, Lethbridge, Sudbury, Ottawa and London already have Housing First programs in place, and Edmonton and Victoria expected to have Housing Fierst programs in place in the very near future.
In short, while homelessness policy wonks had spent decades debating whether homeless persons could in fact be housed, the debate now appears to be over. Indeed, it now seems rather clear to most that, provided there's a suitable affordable housing unit for the person to go to (and that is not always the case in Housing First programs, as I argue in Section 5.2 of my paper), we now accept that the problem of homelessness can best be solved by providing housing to the homeless as quickly as possible.
No more policy conundrum, right?
Enter a new report that I recently discovered while perusing the Homeless Hub. In said report, four researchers (Adam Fair, Hollis Moore, Jennifer Robson and Barb Gosse) report on results from the Independent Living Account (ILA) project of Social Enterprise Development Innovations (SEDI). According to the report, ILA assists "residents of Toronto shelter system to save, build life skills and subsequently move into their own place."
According to the new report
"The ILA model was designed to test the effectiveness of matched saving incentives in supporting individuals living in the shelter system to save for expenses related to moving out on their own. Participants enrolled in the ILA are provided with assistance to open a bank account and start saving. To incentivize this saving, SEDI offered a virtual $3 in match credits for each $1 saved, up to a maximum personal savings of $400. Participants are also required to work with a case manager on a savings plan and attend a financial literacy workshop which lasts approximately 12 hours. If a participant meets all of the program requirements they are eligible to use their credits, combined with their own savings, to pay for first and last month's rent, utility hook up, moving expenses as well as supports to employment."
The report goes on to say
"The results suggest a conservative estimate of a $2.19 return for each $1 of project costs within the first year following project graduation. It is also worth noting that the analysis of the base case (existing environment) estimates a negative return of nearly -$0.74 for each $1 invested in the current system of support for those moving through the housing continuum to exit homelessness. This result clearly illustrates the investment potential created by the ILA model."
While I don't see a direct contradiction between Housing First and the ILA approach, I do see an inconsistency.
I believe it was Confucius who said "Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day. Teach a man to fish and he will eat for a lifetime."
Housing First says:
- give homeless persons keys to housing unit ASAP; and
- have Housing First staff work with the person's income support office to cut out the bureaucratic red tape so that the person can move right into housing ASAP. In other words: give the man the fish and, no disrespect intended to Confucius, but he'll keep fishin'.
The ILA approach says:
- teach the homeless person financial literacy skills with some matching funds/incentives; and
- when they put aside sufficient money, they can move into a new unit. In other words, teach the man to fish.
So, my question for blog readers is: how do we reconcile the successes of Housing First with the successes of the ILA project?

Are Canadians who are experiencing homelessness getting the health care that they need? The average person might assume that the answer to this question must be "yes," because Canada has a system of universal health insurance. In fact, almost all previous studies of unmet needs for health care among homeless people have been done in the US, where more than half of people who are homeless do not have any health insurance. These studies have (not surprisingly) found that lack of health insurance greatly increases the risk of unmet needs for care. Amazingly, almost no studies have looked at this issue in countries that ensure that its citizens and residents have universal health insurance.
We recently published a study in the American Journal of Public Health that looked at unmet needs for health care among homeless people in Toronto, Canada. We surveyed a representative sample of 1169 homeless individuals at shelters and meal programs and asked them if within the last year they had needed health care but been unable to get it. Fully 17% of homeless individuals -- about one in six – reported unmet needs for care. Mothers with children who were living in family shelters were more than twice as likely to have unmet needs for care than the average mother with children living in Toronto. Among the homeless people that we interviewed, those who were younger and those who had been a victim of physical assault in the past year were more likely to have unmet needs.
These findings show us that homeless people still have substantial unmet health care needs within Canada's system of universal health insurance. However, it's important to realize two things. First, this finding should not be misinterpreted to mean that our system of universal health insurance is "broken" or "doesn't work." In fact, another recent study asked almost the same question that we did of homeless people across the US and found that 32% had been unable to obtain needed medical or surgical care in the past year. So, the rate of unmet needs among homeless people in the Canadian system is about half that of homeless people in the US. Universal health insurance works!
Second, our study underscores the importance of understanding the difference between a health insurance system and a health care delivery system. When people are disadvantaged and marginalized, it's not enough to say that that their health care will be paid for, so there's nothing to worry about. We need to realize that there can be many other barriers to obtaining needed care, such as not having a family physician, not having transportation to the clinic or doctor's office, not understanding when it's important to seek health care, or being reluctant to seek care because of previous bad experiences with health care providers. All of these factors, and more, come into play when a person is homeless.
We need to continue to design health care delivery systems that meet the needs of people who are homeless. Some of the most promising strategies include having teams of health care providers work in outreach settings such as shelters, drop-in centres, and mobile health units; enhancing the capacity of our many outstanding community health centres to provide comprehensive care for homeless patients; integrating the delivery of care for physical health, mental health, and addictions; and educating and empowering individuals who are homeless to help improve their own health.
Stephen Hwang's primary appointment is in the Department of Medicine at the University of Toronto, with cross-appointments in the Departments of Public Health Sciences and Health Policy, Management and Evaluation. His research focuses on deepening our understanding of the relationship between homelessness, housing, and health through epidemiologic studies, health services research, and longitudinal cohort studies. His current research projects include a study of predictors of health care utilization in a representative sample of 1,200 homeless men, women, and families in Toronto, a study of the barriers to the management of chronic pain among homeless people, and an evaluation of the effects of a supportive housing program on health and health care utilization among homeless and hard-to-house individuals.
The Government of Alberta has announced its intention to put forward a plan that encourages people to refrain from giving money to panhandlers, and instead to give those resources to agencies serving people who are homeless. While many people may be annoyed at the sight of panhandlers, we need to dig a little deeper to understand what is driving this initiative. At the root of many people's negative responses to panhandling are prejudices about homeless people, and why they panhandle in the first place. Is this same prejudice driving government policy? The Alberta Minister of Housing and Urban Affairs Jonathan Denis says: "Most people think if they are giving to panhandlers they are helping the problem, but they are hurting the problem. Almost 80% of money going to panhandlers goes to negative habits — drugs, alcohol, gambling — anything that can be destructive."
I would argue that this kind of thinking represents policy making at its worst – driven by ideology rather than evidence. People panhandle for many reasons, most notably to put cash in their hands on a day to day basis, so they can purchase what they want and need (not all needs are supplied by shelters and drop ins, such as hygiene products, adequate food, etc.). Just like you and me, people who are homeless want to be independent and make their own choices. The notion that they should not have money because they are irresponsible speaks to a paternalistic viewpoint that we wouldn't apply to anyone else.
Check the research out on the Homeless Hub if you want to know the facts.
A key piece of research on this topic is Making Money, by Bill O'Grady and me (1999, 2002). This research shows that most people who panhandle would much rather make money through regular jobs, but because of their poverty, they face incredible barriers in obtaining – and maintaining – employment. People panhandle so that they can earn money to meet their immediate needs, and to pay for food, clothing and yes, sometimes cigarettes or alcohol. They make choices about what they spend their money on. We might not always agree with these choices, but then, you might not agree with how I spend my money.
The views expressed by the minister above, reflect longstanding prejudices that portray people who are homeless as addicts. While there is no doubt that some people who are homeless have addictions issues (and some of them panhandle) the vast majority do not. If one is concerned about the behaviours of homeless addicts, one should really ask oneself, if you take away panhandling as a source of income, exactly where will people with addictions get their money to feed their addictions? Take away panhandling, and will people do worse and more destructive things to meet needs they can't control – things like the sex trade, drug dealing, crime and theft?
The good news in Alberta is that there is an emerging public debate on this issue that will hopefully inform the decisions that get made by politicians and average citizens. An excellent discussion took place on the news affairs program "Alberta Prime Time".
Both University of Calgary professor Dave Este (Social Work) and Calgary Chief Bylaw Officer Bill Bruce (Calgary Police Service) presented reasoned views supported by research. Both oppose the proposed move by the Alberta government.
The other good news is that the Calgary Homeless Foundation is conducting a new study on the money making practices of people who are homeless – this will shed light on why people who live in extreme poverty panhandle.
Good policy is supported by good evidence. Research can contribute to solutions to homelessness.
Last week the CHRN launched our Leadership Academy in Program Evaluation. We brought together service providers and administrators from more than 15 homeless-serving agencies from across Canada. The idea was to begin a year long process of building capacity within the homelessness sector to conduct program evaluation that is meaningful to agencies and their clients, rather than an activity that simply responds to the demands from funders.
This Leadership Academy began with a two and a half day conference / workshop held at York University in Toronto. We had a great panel of presenters, including Michaela Hynie of York University, Stephanie Baker-Collins of McMaster, Jennie Vengris from Hamilton SPRC, Marylin Dyck from the Doorway in Calgary, Diane Dyson from Woodgreen in Toronto, and Audrey Cole and Ashley Lacome-Duncan from the Paloma Foundation. I also presented a few sessions.
Our goals for the event included:
Providing people with an understanding of basic concepts in program evaluation, tailored to concerns and issues found in the homelessness sector. We introduced participants to some key examples, including the Outcomes Star from the UK, and the Paloma -Wellesley Guide to Participatory Program Evaluation;
Having each agency leave with an action plan to help them move forward with program evaluation;
Finally, we wanted to establish a learning community to carry this work forward in the coming year. Establish is probably not the right word. We are building on the amazing work of Eva's Initiatives, which has already nurtured the development of a vibrant learning community amongst agencies working with street youth across Canada. The majority of attendees at our Leadership Academy were from Eva's Learning Community, with a few other additions.
We're calling this a Learning Academy, because the 2.5 day event was only the beginning. Over the coming year, the agencies, will continue their work supported by the learning community, the Canadian Homelessness Research Network (CHRN), and York University. We feel this is a much better way to support learning and the application of this new knowledge.
Through the CHRN, and in partnership with York University, the Faculty of Education and the York Institute for Health Research, we are beginning to develop a fully fledged certificate course in program evaluation, that will have a strong web-based component, so stay tuned for developments on this.
My final comments have to do with the success of the event: It was incredible to have in one room such amazing talent, knowledge and experience. The conversations that took place were the major highlight for me. This is an amazing group of people who through their work demonstrate their commitment to ending homelessness in Canada. We hope that the Leadership Academy in Program Evaluation will help people working in this field to not only improve upon their work, but to make their work visible to others, and to really contribute to good solutions to the problem of homelessness. More to come on this one…
Until then, here are some photos from the event...

Breathe in, breathe out. Now do it and think about where all that air is really going besides expanding your lungs. "As you breathe oxygen, your body consumes it—it is divided amongst the hierarchy of organs and systems. Heart, brain – they see the most oxygen. The last organ of your body to see the oxygen is your skin and your skin is the largest organ of the body," John Gardner, formulator director of the oxygen-based skin care system at O2Vive explained.
The man knows oxygen. He was the first to introduce oxygen gas into the professional skin care market with Echo 2 in 1995 after being a registered respiratory therapist for 35 years. "I was basically working around oxygen for all those years in a burn ward. I learned how to apply hyperbaric oxygen therapy to increase cell production on damaged skin," John said.
The traditional battleground of fighting aging has been on the outside using creams, lotions, peels, nip, tucks and needles. "In our research, which has been ongoing for 10 years now, we found that the primary mechanism of aging takes place inside your body, long before it shows up on your skin."
The O2Vive Skin Care System, the first of its kind for professional use, delivers the exact amount of oxygen the skin cells require. The system attacks on the extrinsic and intrinsic level with the Active Resistance Expiratory Exercise unit and the Skin-Sip Powdered Drink.
"When you do the breathing exercise and product drink, you now have oxygen and anti-oxidants that are breaking down stress metabolites (smoking, pollution, diet) and increasing oxygen inside the cells." While that is happening, your facial starts. "We have an assortment of nutrients that have never been used that are just gangbusters! We don't destroy skin cells or raise the ph level of the skin."
There is a fine balance, too much oxygen and you can literally destroy the cell membrane he added and stresses the importance of the right amount and concentration to ensure "cellular compatibility and homeostasis."
"We are dealing with anti-aging mechanisms on the level where the battle should be," he said. "You will see an abrupt change in the lines and wrinkles of the skin."

Best for low pressure, relaxed situations, mostly outdoors or with plenty of light.
Great for engagement sessions, family sessions and lifestyle sessions for products.
Here's a bit of feedback from an analogue film session with a recent client:
'With digital you can look at the pictures afterwards and go ''oh no my eyes were closed let's do another one!'' But on film it's that whole excitement of ''oooooooo I wonder how they're going to look!'' And I know you get the odd one that isn't perfect but that makes it all that much more natural!'
We can't wait to show everyone the pictures! We were so excited wondering what they would look like and now we've seen them we can't wait to share them with our family and friends and shout about how amazing it was having film photos :)
You're so friendly and nice to be around that we felt relaxed and even though neither of us really had any experience of being on camera before you made us feel very comfortable with it :)'
