This article will help anyone suffering from sleep apnea find relief. Sleep apnea can cause extreme problems for those who do not treat it. However, this condition can be managed with the proper treatments. If you're dealing with a sleep apnea problem yourself, you may find the advice presented below to be extremely helpful.
For people who suffer from sleep apnea, they may stop using their CPAP machine because it is noisy or too large. See if you can get an upgrade. The machines have gotten much smaller and quieter in recent years. You may be eligible for an upgrade. Contact your doctor or insurance provider for more information.
Adjust your CPAP machine. Most machines come with default settings that might not correspond to your needs. You should be able to regulate the airflow: try different settings and choose one that seems to work for you. If you feel like your machine is not working like it should, try changing the settings again.
Mouth guards can be custom fit. These guards are designed for patients with sleep apnea. This is a good alternative to using the CPAP machine. The guard assists in opening up your airways and stabilizing the soft tissues.
Try some throat and mouth exercises. One reason people suffer from sleep apnea is because their throats close when they sleep. Strengthening these muscles can decrease the chance that they will go slack while you are sleeping. Try some tongue, jaw and neck exercises to increase your throat strength.
If you have sleep apnea and were just prescribed a CPAP, keep trying different masks until you find the one that fits you just right. Some masks may not be the right size or shape for your face. If your CPAP mask is leaking air into your eyes all night or rubbing the skin on your forehead raw, ask your sleep center to prescribe a different mask for you.
If you are one of the millions of people who suffer from sleep apnea, you need to avoid caffeine and large meals before you go to bed. Stop eating and drinking any caffeinated beverages at least two hours before you go to bed. Both of these are linked to sleep apnea and should be avoided before bedtime.
Shedding weight oftentimes is a big help to anyone who is dealing with sleep apnea. Sleep apnea is far more frequent in obese individuals with bigger necks. Shedding some unnecessary weight can really cut down on the pressure airways receive, which means you get easier air flow and breathing during your sleeping hours.
Sleep apnea events can be decreased by keeping regular sleep hours. Going to bed and getting up at approximately the same time every day will provide better and more relaxed sleep. This simple lifestyle change can be a big help when sleep apnea is in the mild to moderate range.
The introduction to this article stressed that not treating sleep apnea can lead to severe health consequences. If sleep apnea affects you, then it is critical you learn all that you are able to regarding the condition. Use the advice here as a stepping stone to getting on the right path to improving your health and the ability to get peaceful sleep each night.

I am very excited and overwhelmed that MS APOTHECARY will be debuting at The NY MAKEUP SHOW. For over 17 years I have been in attendance of trade shows, but never a vendor. Now it's time to show everyone what I've learned over the years on a shoestring budget!
You can purchase TICKETS for the show HERE.
Hope to see all of your friendly faces there!

It's been a few years now since I have revamped www.maryschook.com.
Maryschook.com is my fashion and beauty site that I used as a high fashion makeup artist and special effects expert. Since maryschook.com is one of the first hits on google I decided it was time for a revamp. It's confusing a lot of people in the public (especially my clients) as to who I am and what exactly it is that I do.
I'm crossing my fingers we'll have something done within the next two weeks! It's going to contain some of the images from Bravo's Make Me A Supermodel and the current Guinness ads that are plastered all over New York City! Yeah!

It is going to be a photo finish, predict the psephologists. In this head to head, technology could play a major role, particularly Big Data, in deciding who gets to wear the crown eventually. While Trump has berated the technology, calling it "overrated," the Hillary camp has gone all out to mine and collect data from every possible source: from voter registration and public records to social media activity. They are following up on the data-driven election strategy that Barack Obama built to great success while running for his second term. Many election analysts have credited Obama's Big Data initiatives for his 2012 election win, saying that his tactics have set up a novel precedent for how election campaigns of the future would be run.
On one side, Hillary has stood her ground, with her campaign team developing and harnessing cutting-edge analytics to target swing voters. Trump hasn't. While other candidates entered into arrangements and partnerships with data strategists, the sole exception had been Trump, who has instead relied heavily on his own personal appeal. He has, in fact, been critical of Big Data Analytics during his campaigns. "I've always felt it [Big Data] was overrated. Obama got the votes much more so than his data processing machine. And I think the same is true with me." On the contrary, Trump has used social media and the traditional media coverage to promote himself and his opinions. Trump's strategy of not leveraging Big Data may turn against him and put him at a disadvantage as compared to his more analytically-aware rival.
But now, in the last moments, Trump has had to eat his words. In the month of September alone, Trump paid a Big Data Analytics UK firm Cambridge Analytica $5 million to help target voters. The company has claimed that it has data on around 230 million adults in the USA and approximately 4000 "data points" on every one of them, including gym and club memberships, charity donations, and card transactions. All this is a last ditch effort to analyze the ultimate voter and his political leanings and how to make them change their minds.
In the 2012 presidential election campaign, Obama used path-breaking data analytics. First of all, he focused on swing or undecided voters. His strategy was simple: there is no point in wasting resources wooing those who have already made up their minds or are political loyalists—they would not vote favorably even in a zillion years. A core team of more than 100 data analysts ran 66,000 computer simulations every day. Analysts put together data from various sources: voter registration records, charities and donations, and public department information. In fact, third-party data was also bought (including data collected from social media).
Ironically, even when Trump has belatedly decided to go for a data-centric strategy, he has followed the trodden road—one that followed in 2012. He hasn't taken into account that technology, particularly Big Data Analytics, has been innovating fast and moving into uncharted territories to mine and process data, making the 2012 strategies look old school. Over the past four years, private vendors and companies have developed and sharpened Big Data tools, adding Predictive Analytics, Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, Sentiment Analysis, and Language Processing to the potent mix to leverage the state-of-the-art technologies and expand their scope.
"Big Data techniques and data mining have hugely enhanced and expanded in scope. Machine learning is a particularly helpful in increasing the correlation between the data and its influence as there is self-learning inbuilt, so that the tool adapts and learns in every new situation. This can be applied to any situation and business," said Shashank Dixit, CEO, Deskera, a Cloud technology firm that has recently developed its own Big Data tool.
Campaigners within both the parties agree that Democrats have a sizable lead in collection of information on voters and their smart use of those leads could be the difference, particularly if the contest goes to the wire. Clearly, Hillary Clinton has the advantage of inheriting the database that Obama built over two campaigns; however, it remains to be seen how successfully she is able to leverage it. However, there is one thing that has been established beyond doubt: the candidate with the smartest data wins.
Will Trump's last minute effort prove sufficient or will it be a classic case of too little too late? Only time will tell, the results would anyway be out soon.

I am 56 years old. That means, according to health..ny.gov, I've already lived 65% of my life, leaving a measly 34% remaining. I spent the last 15 years trying to deny that it, age, is happening. Now it seems like it was such a massive waste, well, only the part where I tried to act like I was still young and cool. Not the part when I exercised and ate healthy . It didn't feel like it was happening and for awhile, it didn't look like it. But where once, the years would go by with the slightest sign of a wrinkle, crows foot or crease, it seems that every year, and sometimes in a few months, a new change in skinlasticity, color or location of skin or organ.
The weird thing about aging, that I think everyone, I mean everyone, goes through, is that is it so surprising when it happens to you! For some reason, I never thought I would get old. I grew up during a time when The Who sang, "I hope I die before I get old!" But even The Who grew old!
I made a fool of myself trying to get through to young people, to let them know I was "down' with what they were talking about and I actually was, but all I got were smiles of pity. "What could you know, lady, about us?? But I do know. I've been an us.
At 17, I was living on the streets. I hitchhiked from Florida to Boston and back down again, then from Florida to California, and back again. I lived on the streets. I've seen things, crazy things, cur-razy things. I've been arrested. I and a few companions sneaked into the Ozark Mountain Festival. Look it up. It was lunacy.
I spent the last 20 years yearning, longing, for the days of my youth. Those were the days when I allowed myself to run free, run away. I've suffered from what I felt was claustrophobia of life, but it was just maturity that I was having a hard time accepting.
At 56, I don't have the energy I used to have. Actually, I don't have any energy at all. This helps a great deal with the needing to run toward or away from anything. But I miss so many things and I wonder if I'll ever see any of them again. Things like excitement, anticipation, being in love...If those things are gone forever, then I want to be too.
But, there are good things about getting older. There's the wisdom that comes with it. I'm not quite so foolish. I also can impart that wisdom upon other unsuspecting victims. I also get to use age as an excuse to get out of things I don't want to do. Unfortunately, it doesn't work on work..yet. I'm also coming to the point of accepting my body and what age is doing to it, only because I am too tired to care anymore.
I remember an old lady named Marilyn that was in my life for a while. She used to love her sweets, cakes, whatever. Now I get it. At this age, happiness comes in 2 x 2 tiles of yellow cake with whipped cream frosting.
I've tried to impress upon my grand kids some of the things I went through and what they may expect, but I am too far away from them. Technology, music and social rules are all different now. What remains the same, and will until the day humans cease to exist, is that we are born, we are genetically engineered to need certain things, spiritually married to the universe, will age and will die.
There's definitely an undercurrent feeling of time running out, something I can no longer ignore. Sometimes I feel like I'm ready and even want to go, but I know there are things undone, so I still seek to try to fix them. I also have regrets, monstrous, persistent regrets. I can't live with them. I certainly can't die with them.
I have half the time that I've existed so far, according to the life tables. That could be either too short, or too long and the funny thing is that I am curious to see which.

Starring: Famke Janssen, Landon Liboiron, Dougray Scott
Oh Netflix. You have spoiled us with so many of your Originals offerings, the magnificent remake of House of Cards, the wonderful Orange is the New Black, the promise of the upcoming Better Call Saul Breaking Bad spin-off… but then there is Hemlock Grove. Yes, I watched the whole of the first season. THE WHOLE OF THE FIRST SEASON. Then I cursed you for making me waste hours of my life watching sexy teen werewolves and vampires and Famke Janssen's terrible acting in the hope that the resolution would make up for the dross I had sat through. No luck. It didn't even manage to make it into the magical 'so bad it's good' category. It was just bad. So why, oh why, did I find myself then watching THE WHOLE OF SEASON TWO?! I am clearly a glutton for punishment.
I had faith in you, Netflix. I thought perhaps you would have learned from the mistakes of season one, and moved away from 'Dawson's Creek meets Twilight' and cottoned on to the elements that did work, namely the odder, more perverse elements. Sadly this wasn't the case.
Don't get me wrong. There is some good stuff in season two. The wonderfully Lynchian Dr Arnold Spivak (J C MacKenzie) adds some much needed colour to every scene he appears in*, and it was good to see Orange is the New Black alumnus Madeline Brewer in the mix too. Peter's fiery cousin Destiny (Kaniehtiio Horn) makes a welcome move to the centre stage. Even series favourite Landon Liboiron puts in a decent performance as teen heart-throb and increasingly-less-part-time-wolf Peter. There are however some shocking performances too. Famke Janssen continues her run of being both wooden and over-the-top, Dougray Scott just looks vaguely annoyed he has to be there and Bill Skarsgard spends more time pouting than acting.
The story too is a mixed bag. Some elements are compelling, but it is too slight a story spread over too long a series, meaning an hour can go by with nothing at all happening besides some brooding and the occasional splatter of gore. During the first episode alone there are 3 scenes of people using the toilet. Yet still I kept watching.There is a story-line involving Peter's mother which seems entirely superfluous and disappears up a pig farming cul-de-sac.
The effects are a somewhat mixed bag as well, with some of the practical make-up (Shelley's make-up looks great) standing up very well. The CGI however leaves a lot to be desired. In fact, the finale sees some of the worst CGI I have seen in recent years, to the extent I laughed out loud. I LAUGHED.
Despite all this I still find myself pondering what will happen in season three. Damn you, Netflix.
*sadly he is at the centre of the terrible CGI

Chicago, Illinois (PRWEB) February 27, 2017
Chicago studio Mode Project recently received a Gold Davey Award for "What Matters," a promotional and advocacy video for After School Matters, the internationally recognized nonprofit program for Chicago high school teens. The video premiered at their annual gala and opened the keynote address portion of the evening. The event raised $4.9 million dollars. View the film here: http://www.modeproject.com/after-school-matters-what-matters
Narrated by After School Matters' Board Chair, the film takes a documentary approach to telling the After School Matters story. "True stories of optimism and hope, when coupled with artful visuals and powerful writing are a uniquely compelling way of showing the value of After School Matters' program." said Mode Project's Brooks Ruyle, the video's director. "After School Matters was a phenomenal partner and it was gratifying to make a film that does good along the way – in this case for Chicago's teens," said Ruyle.
"So many supporters - both new and long-time, have commented about how the video captures the core of our work but also manages to elevate it. The team at Mode Project really got us, and that translated beautifully into the finished product." said Michael Crowley, Senior Director of Communications and Policy for After School Matters.
The Annual Gala was held at Navy Pier's Aon Grand Ballroom and was attended by more than 1,000 civic and business leaders. Close to 300 teens performed and showcased their talents during the event.
The annual International Davey Awards honors the achievements of smaller agencies who derive their strength from big ideas, rather than stratospheric budgets. The Davey is sanctioned and judged by the Academy of Interactive and Visual Arts, an invitation-only body consisting of top-tier professionals from a "Who's Who" of acclaimed media, advertising, and marketing firms.
Mode Project handled all aspects of the film from concept to completion including creative development, scriptwriting, production, editorial and finishing services.
About Mode Project:
Mode Project creates meaningful video content for agencies, brands and causes. The Mode team offers concept development and creative services for broadcast and digital media, including production, design, animation, editorial and finishing. See more of our work at http://www.modeproject.com
About After School Matters:

Over the course of the organization's history, more than 200,000 teens have benefited from their programs in the arts, communications, science, sports and technology. http://www.afterschoolmatters.org

It should actually read, the Tree is STILL up... which is impressive in and of itself. We put the tree up on Sunday and then let the kids decorate it Monday night. Very chaotic. They were so excited to be decorating the tree, I couldn't keep them out of the decorations. There was no gently handing the decorations to them, which I'm not sure why I was surprised that didn't happen. Oh well, it's done, it looks lovely and the kids love it. Now, if only I can convince Clark that a pre-lit tree is the way to go!

Season of Reflection
I find that this time of year is not only full of winter and Christmas (and Thankgiving for those south o' the boarder) but also a time of reflection. We look back at the accomplishments of the year, try to forget the big mistakes (but maybe not the lessons) and look forward to the new year, with its clean slate to fill. I'm never good at Resolutions, I find they are something I feel good about, make to break two seconds later. But, I do have a wish list of things that I would like to get through this year.
1. Get the house cleaned up, organized and generally presentable to the General public, generally.
2. Look into a couple of different classes. (I have another list of things I would like to learn.)
3. Become more aware of those opportunities to serve and to continue to teach children my how to serve.
4. Crack open a good book. (Perhaps the scriptures?)
5. Look for the happiness in my life and try to spread a little bit to those who come in contact with me.
What about you? Wish list for you and your family? Something attainable maybe? As we put up our Christmas tree in the next couple of days, I look around at my home, which is clean right now and I'm grateful for the chance I've had to look a little out of the box, help a friend who helps me out with great results.
Happy Relfections, but more importantly, Merry Christmas! Let's enjoy the season this year inspite of the commercializm, the chaos and just remember the greatest love that we celebrate - the birth of Jesus Christ.
PS Got a countdown to Christmas on the bottom of the blog, check it out!

The Flat Tire Fiasco
So, today was a simple day, errand-wise. I needed to hit Chapters and drop something off in Okotoks. The van was driving a little off, but I didn't worry too much about it. Yeah. Come to find out that one of the tires is flat. Again.
I'm to the point where I just shake my head. Off to Foundtain Tire again. Crossing my fingers that they will be able to fix it instead of me replacing it.

It's the Middle of November...
...and frankly the weather is awesome. So I didn't get into the top 5. :( Sigh. I'll get over it -- eventually.
So, here's my new find... Cupcake Bath Bombs! Yummy right? I think so. I tried to get a picture to show you, but I wasn't able to. But, if you want something to do, check out the website.
I drooled over the pictures for a couple of days. Now, I'm not much of a bathtub person, but I would seriously consider having a "tub" to try out one of these!

Fairytale Ending
I discovered Shabby Apple totally by accident and I have been eyeballing their dresses for waaay too long. I actually just ordered my first dress and it came -- today! I was even more excited to hear about their little contest on their blog. So, without further ado, here is my Vignette! I call it "Fairytale Ending."
Here's my story. I was (and still am, a little bit) a tomboy. Dresses were not for me. Neither was makeup, the color pink and many other things that would scream "girl!" Fluffy was out. You could ask most of the people I went to high school with and if you told them that I was okay with dresses and even wore make-up occasionally, they would laugh. I had boys that were scared of me, and even an offer to play on the football team from a couple of the players.
Now, bring us all forward 10 years later. I have found my prince (and a handsome one he is) and have 3 little princes (or terrors, depending on the day) and one little princess (just ask her.) And guess what? I have figured out that playing with a little make up, doing my hair and putting on a fabulous dress is not only fun, but helps me feel sexy! That's why this would be a fairytale ending for me. A beautiful dress with a bold color, a step away from the safety of black (with a very feminine name of "Ballerina"), shoes with the name "Beautiful", because aren't we all and a fun, flirty ("Daffodil") bag that can be clutched or looped over a wrist. Simple sophistication with a grand entrance!
Check out Shabby Apple for your "Fairytale Ending" and find something fabulous for you today! Also, check their blog, see if I'm in the top 5 for the contest. Help me to win something amazing!

Today Shane left for San Diego for 4 weeks. No matter how many times we have to say goodbye for school and training it never seems to get any easier. Now he is on his 5 plus house flight and won't land until after I have gone to sleep for the night.
This morning I woke up around 8 am and let Shane sleep in a bit. I made coffee and had some cereal and peanut butter from the jar. I then headed to the gym to get in a quick hour on the elliptical before heading home to help Shane pack. He had so much stuff and limited space to pack it all. We ended up using many air tight bags to fit it into his one big bag and small duffle bag. He then left a huge duffel in our storage room until he comes back. He ran a load of laundry this morning too for a few things he wanted to take with him. After he was packed we both headed out to run. He went for 70 minutes and I did 35. I ended up running a decent pace making it 5.08 miles for an average 6:53 pace. Pretty good since it was 12 pm when we ran and very hot and humid out.
I decided to wait for Shane to eat lunch so when I was home I stretched, folded the laundry, pulled out stuff for lunch and did a few other things. He got back at 1 and was dripping sweat. He showered and made a steak pita for lunch and had a yogurt. I made eggs with banana and had some greek yogurt with protein powder and granola and decided I was still hungry and had a banana muffin. We hung around just talking and making sure everything was together until 2:15 pm and then left to get starbucks before I dropped him off. That was when I teared up this the mess I am whenever we separate for long periods of time.
I decided to do a 5 pm yoga class at my gym so I headed there around 4 pm to lift some weights before. It is very convenient that the gym I belong to is just under a mile away. Yoga ended at 6:15 and I was getting hungry. I ate half a quest bar (lemon pie flavor) and picked up some frozen yogurt to put in the freezer for after dinner. I then took a quick shower and talked to my mom on the phone while putting my dinner together. It was very similar to last nights because after everyone being away for the weekend our fridge is pretty empty. I had a kale and butter lettuce salad with the curry barley salad, cherry tomatoes, and for tonights protein I pan sauteed a piece of tilapia in Trader Joe's teriyaki sauce.
Now that I have finished dinner I will clean up the kitchen and I have on this weeks new episode of Diner's Drive in's and Dives that I DVRed yesterday. It'll be a quiet night again since I am home alone. I might search the internet for some deals on dorm/apartment stuff for the coming school year. I already ordered a great 11 piece knife set on Rue La La this afternoon for our kitchen!

We noticed quite a few wasps inside the hive when we inspected last Sunday. They were walking boldly among the bees and stealing the honey stores in the brood box. Wasps are a real menace; not only do they have the potential to kill the Queen but en masse they can completely rob out a hive which means our colony could starve to death. Apparently it takes 5 bees to kill off a single wasp and they will fight to the death, so to give them some help, we set a couple of wasp traps. The first one was a wine bottle containing wine dregs placed behind the hive and so far it has worked well. However, the second one contains a couple of spoons of raspberry and whisky jam, a smidgen of rose wine and a little water. They seem to really go for this one !
Today we inspected again and the feeder was empty so we put another in. The bees climb up the inside of the central cone which has ridges so they don't slide off. Then they climb down to the syrup sitting at the base of the cone. The inverted plastic cup ensures there's just enough to get to and they don't drown.
The wasp traps have been very effective and there were no wasps in the hive. The colony is growing nicely and today we saw eggs, capped brood, honey and pollen.
The Queen was going about her business and the bees were calm.
Before closing up, the last job was to reduce the size of the entrance hole, which reduces the chance of wasps entering. The downside is the bees have to queue to get back in.

Buddy's recall has gotten great--when he's in a stay. But not having a space to let him roam freely, play, just run around where he'd be safe, I have no way of know what his recall would be like if he broke his leash, I don't know if I'd be able to trust him at an off leash park or beach (not that I would let him off leash at a place other dogs might be, given how annoying he seems to be to other canines. He just wants to make friends!) It's just something that would help my peace of mind to know, ya know? Maybe one day I can borrow someones fenced in yard to test it.

My dogs have ZERO recall. Not that I haven't tried. Good on Buddy, hopefully you can test it out in a safe area soon!ReplyDelete
I didn't have a fenced in yard until Nola was 1 1/2. I used a long (50 and 100ft) line, so she felt like she was off leash but she was still safe. Her recall was perfect by 11 months.ReplyDelete

And the winner is...
Ted Baker, of course. This gold-plated Royal was owned by Ian Fleming, creator of the world's uber-spy, James Bond.
For those who have read Beneath A Panamanian Moon, I created John Harper, the world's most reluctant spy, as a counter to the suave Bond. Harper, like many young men, read of Bond's romanticized adventures in intelligence and thought it would be a good career, unaware until it was too late that real intelligence work is an ugly and sordid business.
As Tim O'Brien says in The Things They Carried, we tell glorified war stories because, if we told the truth, no young men would ever volunteer to go.

It's real that men need to have guy mentors who can shepherd them into the advancing concentrations of daily life. Nonetheless I've recently arrive in the direction of have an understanding of how some of the highest sizeable mentoring associations I include experienced contain been with females.
I was introduced towards this realization during the wonder of progressive technologies. I've lately "linked" with 2 unbelievable females in opposition to my early adulthood who taught me priceless lifestyle-classes, and gave me lifetime-shifting possibilities.
The initially relationship arrived all through the outstanding computer software, Rhapsody. For those people of on your own who haven't been grew to become upon towards the question of Rhapsody, it is a audio membership services. For $9.95 a thirty day period, it lets yourself towards perform approximately any music or album at any time recorded at the contact of a button. I was at the rear of the children in direction of Staples in direction of opt for up some resources, every time the music "The Pounds of the Entire world" commenced in direction of engage in. The voice was plangent, innovative, centre-loaded. It was a common voice. A voice I understood nicely, individually. It was Judy Collins. The tragic music, and its excellent rendering, more than a sister's reflections upon her brother who died inside of war, stuffed me with feeling. The view expanded inside my upper body, and took upon a multi-coloured hue. I was delivered back again 36 many years, in direction of the autumn of 1975.
I was all of 19 yrs outdated. I experienced hair the shade of fireplace and I was as slim as an ice-product adhere. I stood within the handle house of studio A-1 at A and R Recording upcoming towards the massive 16-monitor tape gadget. The orchestra is made up of particularly carried out actively playing the track, "Mail within just the Clowns," against Judy's Grammy-profitable strike-album, Judith.
Judy arrived into the handle house and stood following in direction of me for the playback. Immediately after listening in the direction of the just take, she grew to become in direction of me, and appeared at me definitely with those people blue eyes as a result placing Stephen Stills called a music as soon as them.
She requested, "What do yourself feel?"
I wasn't utilised towards this type of technique. I was the assistant engineer, and necessary in direction of be dealt with even worse than a effectively-skilled monkey. Judy experienced the grace and the assurance in direction of handle even the assistant engineer with treatment and enjoy.
I'm not confident why she questioned. Judy experienced unerring flavor. She experienced place collectively an ensemble of the perfect artists within the office towards establish this masterwork. The mythical and late Arif Mardin generated. His equivalent, Phil Ramone, was upon the technological know-how controls. Jonathan Tunick was the orchestral arranger. However she proposed me towards uncover my personalized route in the direction of assessing the inventive high quality of the recording.
Probably the deepest understanding I acquired within just getting to be in direction of operate with Judy was pertaining to this creative sensibility. Of training course she experienced a fantastic ear, and understood how in the direction of decide on the perfect new music. She was reliable for literally studying Joni Mitchell and Leonard Cohen. She herself acquired the deepest resourceful mentorship in opposition to a lady, her instructor, Antonia Brico, the initially lady conductor, who she spoke of with reverence.
What is this elusive creative sensibility that I chat of? It is an way of thinking, a path of currently being within just the worldwide, a sensitivity and responsiveness in direction of the greatest concentrations of high-quality and opinion. It is an technique toward lifetime and operate that incorporates aspiring toward the utmost penetrating perception into reality. It needs that we be eager toward position all of ourselves into something we do with over-all pastime. Just currently being in just the existence of that solution in direction of dwelling and perform encouraged me and taught me how in the direction of be.
At the time aiding upon 2 albums, Judy was a person of the to start with artists toward Deliver me the likelihood in the direction of engineer upon my private. I experienced the remarkable fortune towards engineer her retrospective album, "Consequently Early inside of the Spring," which included her vocation towards 1961 - 1976. I bought towards pay attention in the direction of all of her recordings, and found out in the direction of delight in upon the deepest stage the early effort and hard work of this learn. Judy not basically mentored me as a function type, nevertheless via providing me that chance, she state-of-the-art my vocation and resourceful advancement.
This element of remaining includes stored Judy within favourable stead. Her greatest present-day, 2010 album, "Paradise," upon her personal label, Wildflower, is a masterwork that carries on a job of natural beauty, detail, and suitable artistry. Her voice is far more radiant, potent, and spectacular than at any time.
The other female reputable for hence significantly of my job not long ago "friended" me upon Fb. For me, this is the wonder of Fb. It incorporates reconnected me towards as a result a lot of Really sizeable human beings versus my last with whom I consist of misplaced contact.
This lady's standing is Susan Hamilton. Susan was too a piano-actively playing youngster-prodigy. In just an technology any time audio manufacturing was totally ruled as a result of guys, she ran the most important and maximum rewarding "jingle-property" of the generation. They intended tunes for numerous Tv set and radio advertisements for the most important accounts of the season.
Susan was a single of all those musicians who possessed an ear considerably outside of all those of mere mortals. She'd pay attention towards an orchestra operate whilst a piece and say, "Inside evaluate 35 upon the minute combat, the oboe ought to be a b organic as a substitute of a b flat." Not even the conductor read that nuance.
Susan was a powerhouse - she experienced towards be in the direction of endure within just that gentleman earth, still she was too terrifically delicate and supportive within just tactics that had been always missed, simply because she did this in just unassuming methods.
She seriously gave me my to start with prospect within just the biz. I labored as an intern at her jingle Area Although I was 17-several years-aged.
I bear in mind one particular accident towards people early times that uncovered who she was. All of the supreme Chevrolet consumers arrived within towards the office environment, a beautiful townhouse within just the Turtle Bay nearby of Fresh new York Metropolis, for a presentation convention. She requested me toward area up and engage in the reel-toward-reel tape of all of the audio for the fresh marketing campaign.
I pressed the improper button upon the tape unit and it "ate" the tape. She might comprise (and experienced the directly toward) scream at me, and freak out - there was a possibility that I experienced broken an Quite essential presentation with a most important patient. Still she observed what took place, stayed amazing, and all of a sudden unveiled into some humorous anecdotes in direction of entertain the shoppers although I attempted toward pull the tape versus the guts of the gadget, comfortable out all the tangles and enjoy the tape. She retained one particular eye upon me, and anytime I eventually finished the activity, she simply just nodded, and I strike the perform button. Disaster avoided. That's the direction she generally was. She comprehended what was critical, and supported the improvement of many others for the most important Terrific.
With a cellular phone speak to Susan furnished me with the probability towards choose a endeavor at A and R Recording, exactly where I acquired in the direction of do the job with Judy and a lot of other outstanding artists. She was too the amazingly 1st specific in direction of present me the probability towards sit driving the recording console as an engineer.
Greatest These inside of the enterprise, and potentially within just lifestyle, are supporters. They do not include the interior safety towards direct, towards choose a stand, in the direction of understand their personalized head, and toward probability the bravery of their convictions. Still not Susan. She realized what ( and who ) was Great, and she gave a great number of of us our to start with alternatives, mainly because she was suitable at understanding, serving to, and advertising ability and tough do the job.
She was a deeply generous spirit. She introduced me, and quite a few many others, into her world wide, sharing her households, her beautifully eccentric mother and father, her skill, and her knowledge with all of us.
I found out how toward be amazing beneath strain in opposition to Susan. We may well just take upon the most difficult issues, and throughout flawless, best-high-quality hard work, we would be successful. I bear in mind 1 period we labored with Ray Charles upon a marketing campaign for the United Negro Faculty Fund. He experienced a acceptance for remaining amazingly unattainable towards hard work with in just the studio. Susan ran the consultation and I was the engineer. Ray still left a content gentleman, and we understood we experienced realized the pinnacle.
Susan embodied several characteristics that look towards be in just shorter Provide nowadays: brilliance, excellence, generosity-of-spirit, and a deep loyalty.
This conventional of excellence, this spirit of Susan Hamilton, life upon inside every thing I do
mary had a little lamb
currently, as a therapist, a resourceful personal, and as a partner and dad. Everyday I assume in direction of video game the regular she preset for me all these yrs back.
I question currently if there is anything alternate pertaining to the mentoring of females. They did not search threatened via me, and ended up supporting and supportive within just methods that I hardly ever acquired against adult men. A thing appealing in direction of believe that above.
There is as well a sadness I seem to be While I feel with regards to my remarkable females mentors that I experienced in just my youth. Within just innumerable tactics, although I found hence a lot against them, I experience which include I overlooked out upon as a result significantly of what was getting furnished towards me.
As a little one it was as a result crucial for me towards Deliver myself as getting neat. I didn't need to have in the direction of question thoughts, or confess that I didn't notice just about anything. I couldn't be humble and check with for support or suggestions. Out of my personalized narcissistic insecurity, I experienced towards glimpse the understand-it-all. I didn't recognize more than enough toward take pleasure in what was staying specified in the direction of me, and toward specific that gratitude. It wasn't very simple doing work at that point inside my early 20's, and I experienced other needs, and I tossed it all absent. Probably that was the instantly matter towards do, still I in no way reported thank by yourself the route I should really incorporate.
As my dad employed toward say, "Also quickly previous, as well late wise."
The wonder of technological innovation however doesn't allow for us towards drive again in just period and do it all more than once more. What would I do otherwise if I may? I'd sit at the ft of this kind of, and the other, outstanding ladies, and adult males, who therefore generously taught me and gave me chances for the duration of my daily life. I'd soak up anything at all I may perhaps against them. I'd convey to them how incredible they have been, and say due.
I can't shift back again, and the courses I discovered and the items I obtained at present are living in of me. However I can specific my appreciation for All those females, and the quite a few other people who I include not identified as right here, and say I am honored towards consist of identified on your own and I will cherish endlessly the items yourself shared. Thank by yourself.

Friday Feast
Where on your body do you have a scar, and what caused it?
On my stomach, a nine inch long diagonal frankenstein mark from the removal of a very badly behaving gall bladder. I later discovered the surgery was completed at the hospital rated worst of all hospitals in my province. Let's just say "optional surgery" is an oxymoron.
What is something that has happened to you that you would consider a miracle?
That my hubby still loves me.
Name a television personality who really gets on your nerves.
"Television personality" is an oxymoron. But for the sake of the game: Nancy Grace.
Main Course
What was a funny word you said as a child (such as "pasketti" for "spaghetti")?
I had seven older brothers. No one knows if I ever talked before I was sixteen. But I remember saying "calvary" (the cross) instead of "cavalry" (the horse brigade).
Fill in the blank: I have always thought ______ was ______.
I have always thought multiple choice was easier than fill-in-the-blanks.

Oral Trenbolone is incredibly hepatotoxic, and even short cycles can take a toll. For this reason, most people prefer injectable Tren steroids. If you are interested in avoiding injections, though, and you want to use Tren oral, use the smallest possible dose that provides results for the shortest period possible. Be sure to also incorporate some liver protection into your cycle, whether you choose to use milk thistle or a specially-formulated liver care product. Overall, though, the consensus is that both oral and injectable Tren provide the same results at the same doses.

Since starting this whole... film thing... five or so years ago with Ellis, there have been a few icons that rose to the top of the reading and video pile time and again:
Robert Rodriguez
Quentin Tarantino
Sam Raimi
Roger Corman
Russ Meyer
Lloyd Kaufman
But none of them keep resurfacing as often as Bruce Campbell. Having loved reading his first book, If Chins Could Kill: Confessions of a B Actor, one of the things that's always irked me is the serious lack of interview material the guy does (and he does a lot, just not enough for me to milk for hours on end...). But now, thanks to http://www.youtube.com/, tons of his stuff is available (copyright be damned, I'm sure). The first place to start in my mind, however, is the Dinner For Five episode that also included Roger Corman(!) and Rob Zombie (!).
(it's broken up into three sections and the video quality sucks, but screw it... it's free.)
After that everything is icing on the cake when it comes to a youtube "Bruce Campbell" search.
Oh. Why do we keep coming back to Bruce? Not 'cuz he's the best actor in the world, but because he freakin' gets it - and hasn't forgotten what it was like to be where many of us are right now.
Real Filmmakers. No Tourists.

Los Angeles, California (PRWEB) September 12, 2013
As the economy continues to recover, one of Congress' most pressing issues has been dealing with the housing crisis, specifically homeowners who are "underwater". Scott Schang of Broadview Mortgage states that HARP 3 is looking more viable now than ever.
"We support the strong effort by President Obama to help these homeowners," says Schang.
President Barack Obama has pushed aggressively to have the "Home Affordable Refinance Program" (HARP) revised, revamped, and reintroduced through the "Responsible Homeowners Refinance Act of 2013."
"There is no question that a HARP 3 program, based on the proposed legislation, would be a money saver for many homeowners left with no options for taking advantage of rising, and still historically low rates," says Schang.
The bill is currently out to committee and being reviewed by the United States Senate.

It's autumn in the USA, and the year is evenly divisible by two. Elections are on everyone's mind. My effort in this blog is to reveal my poetry and my thoughts. I live just North of D.C. in Maryland, so I'm assaulted by politics every day of my life. For the most part, I'm perfectly willing to strike back with my own rhetoric. I haven't met a poet yet who even comes close to my side. It's frustrating, but that's life.
My main objection lies in separation. Lots of poets love to separate Trotsky from Stalin and Lenin. All three are in the same boat to me. I think the idea of Trotskyism as a clean form of Communism is a lie. I'm a poet and a dreamer, but I'm no one's fool. I write freely, and with only artistic constraints. I don't want a dictator, a theocracy, or an oligarchy telling me that I must write for them or not write at all. "If the Revolution has the right to destroy bridges and art monuments whenever necessary, it will stop still less from laying its hand on any tendency in art which, no matter how great its achievement in form, threatens to disintegrate the revolutionary environment or to arouse the internal forces of the Revolution, that is, the proletariat, the peasantry and the intelligentsia, to a hostile opposition to one another. Our standard is, clearly, political, imperative and intolerant." That's Trotsky for you. I wish liberal poets at large would hold Communism to the same standards as Nazism. They would scoff at anyone who would seek to separate Ernst Roehm from his Nazi buddies. I like a system where I'm allowed to write what I want, and others are free to tell me what they think about my words in public.
I saw a young man at the airport wearing a hat with a hammer and sickle on it, and a shirt with some leftist attempt at wit. I was upset, but my father was furious. I guided his shoulders and mine away and intellectually reminded us both that we're supposed to turn the other cheek. He can wear whatever hat he wants to wear, but I think we should hold him to his choice. We should all be upset with such conduct, just as we should all be upset with some jerk wearing a swastika hat and a shirt with some racist attempt at wit.
This photo says it all. The symbols of red farm implements and broken crosses speak the same words to me.
Check this guy out, I think he's pretty cool. He owns his words, and doesn't mince them. I like to imagine myself as a man in his corner. Andrew Jackson's not my man. I'm not in a political party, and I don't want to be handcuffed to any particular group of idiots with a philosophy that pretends to know how to better run my life than I do.
My family got out of the Europe business in 1776, and I'm happy about it: Don't call me a European American. I think an honest mistake is better than a dishonest victory. If you wait around for a threat to appear, you've waited too long: wolves don't politely warn shepherds before taking a lamb. The laws of war only apply to soldiers. I think people should own their own statements, and not hide behind alcohol. Don't get lecture me on honor if you're an adulterer; if you break those vows, you don't have any honor left. You've got to start from scratch. Deion Sanders and Alexander Hamilton are good examples for a start. Jimmy Swaggart and Gary Hart are not.
Give me freedom to write and freedom to drive where I want. The state of Maryland denies me the latter. I want Christ in my life as I see him. I want transubstantiation and adult baptism by immersion. Give me public confession and the freedom to teeter between faith and works. I don't have a problem with saying "under God," but I respect people that genuinely do. I don't think we should outlaw flag-burning; it's a good way to figure out who's an ungrateful piece of garbage and who's not. I have an enormous personal problem with people who burn our Flag, and their supporters: art should be free, and so should art's critics. A ballistic missile program is an aerospace program is a ballistic missile program; those secrets are worth more than any campaign donation. Don't pardon your buddies because they lied for you. If a football player and his posse step into an alley to confront another group, and someone from that group winds up dead, stabbed to death by the posse, the football player and his posse are all murderers. Scale is important, especially when you're dealing with blood; therefore I'm more upset with Hitler, Stalin, Mao, and Tojo than the Baltimore Ravens.
Separation is the subject at hand. We can't separate liars, traitors, adulterers, murderers, and all other assorted scum from the ideas they create and spread. That includes me, the previous paragraph, and my pride. I own my poems, and I hold everyone to that standard. I'll bend, break, and throw myself aside for Christ, but everyone else save Enoch and Elijah gets to struggle with me.

This is the first card I demo'd to the group. I love the "Cherry Blossom Embosslits Die" because you can actually use either side of the cut-out piece. Either side makes for a pretty flower. I cut these out using the "Daffodil Delight Cardstock" and using a "Sponge Dauber", I sponged "Daffodil Delight Ink" in the center of each flower!
I also sponged "Old Olive" on all the edges of the "Scallop Oval Die". If you don't own this die yet you will be pleased to know that as you cut the shape, the die cuts out the frame part and the oval part so you end up with two pieces. You can use them together as I did on this card, or you can use just one piece, a frame or an oval. I embossed the frame part with the "Finial Press Impressions Folder" and sponged inks on the embossed parts:
- Stamp Sets: Bliss, Bring On The Cake
- Inks: Night of Navy, Old Olive, Daffodil Delight
- Cardstock: Night of Navy, Very Vanilla, Old Olive, Daffodil Delight
- Tools: Big Shot, Cherry Blossom Embosslit Die, Little Leaves Die, Scallop Oval Die, Finial Press Impressions Folder, Sponge Daubers
- Accessories: Smooch Spritz, Pearl Jewels
2nd Project:
Build your own flower using punches and dies! I used the "Fancy Flower Punch", "5 Petal Flower Punch" and "Little Leaves Die":
- Cardstock: Rose Red, Whisper White, Wild Wasabi
- DSP: In Color Patterns Papar Pack
- Tools: Big Shot, Perfect Polka Dots Impressions Folder, Large Oval Die, Fancy Flower Punch, 5 Petal Flower Punch, Little Leaves Die, Corner Rounder Punch
- Accessories: 1/4" Grosgrain Ribbon, Brights Buttons
- Stamp Set: Thanks for Caring
3rd Project, Make-n-Take for the girls:
I showed them how to use a brayer to add color to an embossed background!
I also decided after I posted these projects that there was too much "white space" on this card so I used my "Color Spritzer Tool" and spritz some "Soft Suede Ink" and the card turned out beautiful!
- Stamp Set: Easter Blossoms
- Tools: Big Shot, Vintage Wallpaper Impressions Folder, Decorative Label Punch, Scallop Square Die, Beautiful Wings Embosslit Die, Sponge Dauber, Mat Pack & Paper Piercer
- Inks: Soft Suede
- Cardstock: Perfect Plum, Whisper White, Pretty In Pink
- Accessories: Pearl Jewels, Satin Ribbon

From July 9-23, OverDrive's Big Library Read is back with the eBook format of Cowboy Pride: Wild Wyoming Hearts by Lacy Williams.
First impressions count. Liza Bennett has two missions in life: keep the family's shop afloat, and ensure her shy sister finds love. Sparks fly when she meets rancher Rob Darcy at a town dance, but when she overhears him insult her, she vows to put the man out of her mind. Rob Darcy is instantly attracted to the vivacious Liza but a lack of social graces and the promise he's keeping ruin his chances of winning her. Once jilted, Janie Bennett is appropriately gun-shy of falling in love again. But she doesn't seem to be able to help herself when she meets charming Nathan Bingley. Bingley desperately wants a wife and family of his own. Can he trust that Janie returns his feelings? When Janie is injured in a spring storm, she and Liza are sequestered on Nathan's ranch. Hearts and emotions get tangled, but will first impressions prove true, or false? Cowboy Pride is a Wild West version of Pride and Prejudice with dual love stories.
Easy Reading
During the Big Library Read, the digital version will be available to all library customers to download for free, with no need to be on a waitlist. Cowboy Pride can be read on major computers and devices. Like all of our eBooks and eAudios, it will automatically expire at the end of the lending period, so there will not be any late fees.
Making It Social
USA Today bestselling author Lacy Williams is devoted to bringing her readers heartwarming love stories about cowboys and the women that tame them. She is the author of over forty books, including the acclaimed Wyoming Legacy and Snowbound in Sawyer Creek series. Her books have been nominated for the RT Book Reviews' Seal of Excellence as well as finaled in RT's Reviewers' Choice Awards, the Golden Quill and the Booksellers Best Award. Read her letter for the readers here.
Want to share your thoughts on the novel? During the Big Read event, you can discuss the book online at Overdrive's site, and here are some questions to get you started. You could also use the questions to spark a discussion with your friends.
Intrigued? Check out the preview below.
As I'm 36,000 feet in the air working on writing my column, I thought that now would be a good time to write about the ways the library can travel with people on their summer vacations. Having eBooks and eAudio available to me 24/7 is so useful when I find that I am in need of something to read or listen to.
The great thing about traveling with the library on your phone or tablet is that wifi and a data connection are not necessary to read books or to listen to audiobooks that are already downloaded to your device. It also means that I don't have to tote around the weight of lots of books; I'm one of those readers who has five or six books checked out at one time just in case I finish a book early or am not in the mood to read a book I started.
Did you get a shiny new device over the holidays—or have you had one for a while and not explored many of its possibilities? Are you a reader—or a listener? Use your gadget to bring books to you, anytime and nearly anywhere. After you set up your device, it's very easy to browse our virtual shelves and make your selections. There are never any late fees because books return themselves. Automatically. Another very cool thing about eBooks—you can change the print size to personalize your reading experience.
June is National Audio Book Month! So, to celebrate, throw some headphones into your beach bag. A great story is the perfect soundtrack to any summer adventure.
Because I love audiobooks and can't resist sharing my favorites, I've gathered a list of great audiobooks for summer. The list includes fantasy and science fiction, memoir and family drama—all with compelling plots and page-turning appeal to keep you listening through the dog days to come.
The NLS (National Library Service for the Blind and Physically Handicapped) is creating a series of instructional videos to introduce and discuss using the BARD mobile app. Check this blog post occasionally to see the latest additions.
NetLibrary users can now access our eBook and eAudio collection through EBSCOhost's new web site.
Even if you previously had an account with NetLibrary, you will need to create a new account with EBSCOhost.
Watch the video below for an overview of creating your myEBSCOhost account and how to download eBooks.
You can also ask a reference librarian to create an account for you in person or over the phone.
Call your branch and ask for the adult reference desk.
Please visit our eBooks page for more tips on creating your myEBSCOhost account and for a short video with tips on searching for eBooks and how to download eAudio.

One thousand miles. With a bunch of dogs. Yep, that's Yukon Quest! Today is Day 924. I'll admit that I want a beard like Jerry as well.
Category Archives: 900
I see dead people
Everywhere I look – I see dead people.
Well maybe not people per se – but dead things. Lifeless objects that have been cast aside for various reasons – it became too hard to continue, neglect due to something shinier, lack of funds – the reasons don't matter. The fact is that these lifeless objects were once the pride and joy of someone. A cherished idea, prototype or product / service – now a dead object cast deep into the earth.
10 Startups was my idea to identify cemeteries of dead startups; a way of collecting data on what didn't work. Originally, I went after companies in the startup phase – interviewing entrepreneurs who were filled with hope. The whole idea was to chronicle their story and be able to tell the good along with the bad.
Well that didn't appeal to me at all. All motivation and gumption left me after the first round of interviews. Turns out, deep down inside I don't want to talk to those people – it's all too soon. I need the people who are down on their luck, had their ass handed to them and are looking to make a comeback (or not and take that cushy government job). Everyday I deal with people who are happy-go-lucky and naive about the startup and entrepreneur world. I want to meet the goth equivalent of an entrepreneur. I want to meet other people who see dead people.
+ + +
I should note that I originally started writing this article on October 20, 2012. This is around the time when I first started exploring the idea of 10 Startups.com. Since that time, there have been a few hiccups, a few changes of the guard and I'm still unsure how to move forward. I know that over the next few weeks I'll figure something out, but I'm looking for input from various sources.
Any input you have would greatly be appreciated!
942 days to go
Future Of Investment Banking
I believe that there is something fundamentally wrong with the way that investment banking is conducted today. It's something that I noticed with a deal in the fourth quarter of 2013 and it's been nagging me ever since. I'm setting aside some time to ponder and write about this old antiquated system.
Inspiration struck earlier this week in the form of a panel discussion on the idea of "zero" and "nothingness" or the "void". I wasn't able to watch the whole panel discussion, but by accident I clicked on a video off to the side and what I saw blew my mind away. Immediately, I started writing ideas down. Concepts and constructs that I believed to be constant were thrown out the window. I began to see problems and possible solutions in a new light and from an entirely unique angle / point of view.
Today I have 944 days to go. It still seems ominous and too-far-off in the distance. The goal of ten million is even larger – only 9, 995,500 to go (approximately).
Next week will be a long and "interactive" week. Monday will be a day to prep for the trip north and take care of any lingering issues. Tuesday and Wednesday I will be at Georgian College in Barrie. The rest of the week will be in Toronto getting things moving forward.
There is a lot more writing going on over the past week. Writing seems to provide some comfort to me. Music is soothing my soul. I'm listening to a full album of Audioslave and discovering for the first time that I really enjoy it.
While Canada Slept…
While half the world slept, I worked through the night. Music blaring from 7:30pm until 6am with the smell of coffee brewing throughout the night. A few problems had to be sorted out revolving around web sites – 10 Startups, Gobi Capital and Bay Street Hired Guns. I made the mistake of upgrading Gobi Capital to WordPress 3.8 (Parker) and it killed off the biggest section of the network (Gobi Capital with 100k+ id's). It was a few deep breaths to realize what had occurred due to lack of planning was in reality an opportunity to take something mediocre and turn it into something better.
I will be at Georgian College in Barrie, ON in two weeks (Tuesday January 21st and Wednesday January 22nd) to discuss entrepreneurship and present to one of the entrepreneurship classes (Speaker's Corner, Tuesday Jan 21, 1-3pm, Rowntree Theatre H106). If anyone has any questions or suggestions, I'm open to them.
This past week has been particularly challenging – focus being my biggest issue. I've had five significant events occur in my personal and business life that have caused me to get side tracked from my long term goals. Fortunately, I sat down with a good friend who helped put me on the right path. Thank you SS! Today is day 952.
962 Days
Starting tomorrow, I'll be sticking to a very focused schedule and within a week I'll have accomplished more intentional work than unintentional work (aka volunteering). I've been doing a lot of unintentional work over the past few years and I'd like to start doing more intentional work and intentional volunteering.
I expect to get the following done:
- 3,000 words written
- Workout 3x
- Hot yoga 2x
- Limit my focus to three client files
- CoFounder Lab's Toronto annual schedule
- 10 Startups launched
I don't expect any files to close over the next week but I do expect to gain some momentum with Gobi and getting various projects off the ground.
I will start testing myself on a daily basis (health, wealth and stealth) and I'll be taking Saturdays off to reflect and rest. Here's to an amazing 2014!
Health, Stealth, Wealth
It's that time of year again – Christmas and Boxing Day are over and next week it will be the new year. It's around this time of year that I get giddy and filled with excitement; the slate is wiped clean and it's a brand new year.
I've adopted a new mantra and I'm working hard at sticking with it – "those who fail to plan, plan to fail". I'm in the midst of putting together a three year plan for Gobi Capital and I've got 965 days left to get things done.
The updated media content strategy will focus on three areas – health, wealth and stealth. The strategy will be to provide content that is worthy of being disseminated by other sources on the web, print and broadcasting (radio and tv). The tactics are still being carefully considered but it will include traditional and non-traditional methods.
Other than that, I'm going to write up the plan and stick with it. Here's to 2014!

In a September 2009 speech, United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon called climate change "the preeminent geopolitical and economic issue of the 21st century." Among governments and societies, awareness of the issue, agreement around the need to address it, and controversy over how to do so have all increased in recent years.
Meridian Institute is experienced in the climate change arena; we have been convening collaborative dialogues and conferences on the topic for well over a decade. Our projects have covered multiple aspects of climate change, including US energy policy, US and other national climate policy, international climate change agreements and policy, clean technology innovation, the effects of climate change on agriculture and of agriculture on climate change, and measures for reducing emissions from deforestation, forest degradation, and other biological land uses.
Meridian's climate- and energy-related projects have helped parties across the political spectrum and around the globe to establish communication, exchange ideas, and forge action-based alliances. Our efforts have spurred effective interchange among scientists, policy makers, industry leaders, environmental advocates, academics, ethical and spiritual leaders, and others. Many of Meridian's projects have resulted in unlikely allies; for example, we worked with several Fortune 500 corporations and leading environmental groups to create the US Climate Action Partnership.
As society continues to grapple with issues related to the changing global climate—including its impacts on natural and human systems and the need to shift reliance away from fossil-fuel-based energy—Meridian will be there to help diverse parties forge consensus-based solutions.
In June 2017, Meridian Institute facilitated the initial working session of the Interfaith Rainforest Initiative—an unprecedent coalition of Christian, Muslim, Jewish, Hindu, Buddhist, Daoist, and indigenous leaders that convened to advance a shared priority to end deforestation worldwide.
