PegasusAblon, a well-respected real estate developer, wanted to create a multi-family property in Frisco, TX that would appeal to the millennial generation. You know, the iPhone, Gmail, Google+, Facebook, Bluetooth, text-faster-than-they-talk generation. It's also the generation that uses these technologies and others in an effort to be more environmentally friendly, and who socialize 24/7/365.
And PegasusAblon wanted to create an environment where those behaviors aren't just okay, they're celebrated, even woven into the fabric of both marketing and mortar.
While PegasusAblon is quite capable of designing, building, managing, and occupying their new residence, they needed some fresh outside perspective on how to bring their desired emotional qualities to life with a brand campaign.
Aria was initially contracted to create digital marketing, and stop there. However, through a series of initial interviews and discovery sessions, it became apparent that we "got it" and had much more to offer. And so the story of Ablon @ Frisco Bridges began.
What we ended up working on was a turn-key brand solution. From name and logo, to tagline, lexicon, collateral, staff dress, and an iPad website and kiosk.
the name itself, Ablon @ Frisco Bridges was determined with Aria's guidance to be a viable platform for their fledgling endeavor, as well as future projects already planned. The word Ablon is derived from the parent company's name, PegasusAblon. The use of the @ symbol serves two purposes. 1) it tells you it's an Ablon property located in a specific geographic area, and 2) cements the name in the language of the target generation.
We approached the brand design understanding that we aren't beholden to traditional media. With the proliferation of technology, and its rapid adoption by our target market, we felt it appropriate to create a 3-dimensional logo that could only be produced in 4 colors. And we wanted to treat the logo as a physical object, so we placed it in its own environment and explored its interaction with that environment during different simulated parts of the day (and night).
We wanted to infuse all aspects of the brand with a welcoming but snarky, technologically-savvy but approachable attitude. All of the language used to convey even the simplest messages were crammed full of personality.
The brand was so much about the complexity of today's lifestyle offered by the property that we chose to focus on that dynamic in our tagline: Enjoy.Life.Style. The three-part tagline gives you a clear sense of the intentions of the environment. It works to explain itself as a set, or individually.
Working hand-in-hand with staff and Modern Message (a multi-family residence marketing technology firm), we created messaging across platforms that would evoke "hah!" moments, and would drive our target to engagements where they could win Apple gift cards and even 6-months free rent.
The website serves as both a traditional marketing outlet, as well as the on-site kiosk. Designed to work specifically on an iPad, the website further ingrains our desire to connect with the millennial generation.
The brand is fully implemented, the property is on its way to full occupancy, and Aria and PegasusAblon are on to another branded project. The reception to the brand has been overwhelmingly positive (within the target market of course), and has started to become a household name within the Frisco lifestyle space.
You can of course go see the place for yourself at 3150 Avenue of the Stars Frisco TX 75034.

Tick Alert
Date posted: Friday 6th July 2018
Tick bites leaflet
The warm weather and plant growth provides cover for ticks that can attach themselves to deer, dogs or humans passing through long grass or bracken during the summer months, potentially causing Lyme disease. The ticks feed by piercing the skin to suck blood.
While only a small proportion of ticks can transmit Lyme disease and the chances of contracting the disease are low, symptoms can be serious so it's worth taking sensible precautions. Wearing long trousers, long sleeved shirts and using insect repellents can help to prevent ticks.
If you find a tick on you and develop cold/flu like symptoms or find a rash develops it is precautionary to tell your doctor. Dogs can be prevented from getting ticks by using drops supplied in pet shops or vets.
Tick removers are available to buy at the Information Point and vets.
For a leaflet giving more information on how to protect yourself, what to look for and what to do if you find a tick, click /perch/resources/1322tickleaflet-finalapril2010.pdf here.

Guitar Hero with a Real Guitar?/
It was only a matter of time before work started on something likeGuitar Hero that uses a real guitar as a "controller." Guitar Rising by GameTank, Inc. is looking very interesting. Instead of using a little plastic, five-button controller, plug in your guitar of choice and get to it.
The advantage to this over Guitar Hero and Rock Band is that the player is actually learning how to play a real instrument, meanwhile enjoying many of the aspects that made this game's predecessors so successful.
The only unfortunate thing is that Guitar Rising isn't due out until late 2008, which more or less means early to mid 2009. This one is definitely worth keeping an eye on.
See the Official Site or the Gizmodo Article for more details.

Ok, she's all knit up and blocked, with ends woven in... now all she needs are buttons!
Of course, now that she's done, we're in the middle of an absolutely lovely week of warm, sunny weather so I'm totally not motivated to go button shopping (or even trolling my mum's button jars).
The only mods I made to the pattern were to make the skirt a bit shorter, as I am rather petite and wanted to maintain the overall proportion.
I used Cascade's Ecological Wool... so far I'm really happy with it. Nice to knit with (I llike hints of lanolin in my wool... makes my hands soft!) Totally impressed iwth the yardage; I knit this and the Back-To-School Vest from Fitted Knits out of just over than 2 skeins. Not quite soft enough for next-to-skin wear, but somehow I don't think I'll be wearing the Duster without a shirt underneath!!! LOL.
I'll post an action shot when I have the buttons sewn on...

I hope aaaaall of you had a wonderfull christmas! It came and went so fast... Did you get some good presents?
I received a pair of earrings from my parents and brother. They're really pretty daisy earrings :3
And from my brother I also recieved a painting, very nice of him :3 I see him become more and more creative as he grow up (I like to think that I influenced him - :P)
From my aunt and uncle I recieved a giftcard to a very broad drug store chain in Denmark - Matas. Oh all those things Im going to buy - I CAN'T WAIT!
From my father in law, I got copics :3 ......!!!!!! Need I say more? :D
My grandma thinks that I will be happier with a gift that I could buy for myself, from her I received money - of course spend on copics... xD (they're on their way to me!)
My boyfriend wanted to grant my long wish of getting a helix piercing done, so Im gonna get pierced this week :3 yay!
Though Christmas is stressing, and 3 days in a row where Im supposed to gather for social events is quite challenging for me, but I made it, and for 5 days I've been doing very little, which gave me the opportunity to relax and regain some energy. Yesterday I experienced the itch to draw, which I hadn't felt in a long time.
I have been on to this sketch of Kyoko Mogami from skip beat, when she is her role as Setsuka Heel. I just never really finished the sketch..... Yesterday I felt that it had to be finished, and so I did. It turned out really great, though it took time for me to actually sketch the rest out and line it xD
Though I would have liked the hair to be a little better, I really like this one.. and I'm glad I finally got to finish it.
Do any of you read the series "Skip beat"? I must say it is probably my favorite manga. I have never laughed so hard while reading before, and you really can't help but love Kyoko! It is my most favorite manga/anime female character!
It's very close to the last day of 2014. I'm not sure how I feel about that. Though I have accompliced quite a deal this year, I also feel that I went from almost undefeatable to vulnerable. I was really at a high peek at some point, and a really low peek. And I guess i'll just have to get up and walk once again. This social anxiety-thing really takes quite hard on ones strength and the fact that I can't accept that I don't do everything 100% tires me out, and cause a lot of trouble - like having to stay out from school sick. I hope for 2015 to be the year, where I learn to manage my study and learn to control my desire to be "perfect" all the time.
As of now - I have no idea how I can pull that off...
As of now - I have no idea how I can pull that off...
I will have a meeting with a psychologist AND getting extra help to my study management from a SPS counselor, which is a offer to people with difficulties that might be in their way of their study, like anxiety.
I hope 2015 it going to be the year, where I kick anxiety's butt and finally get it into my brain that no human being can be at their 100% 24/7 and it is okay for me to be less than perfect. Well I do understand that this is how it works, I somehow just don't "believe it".. Idk xD
TAKE CARE PEOPLE! If you, as us in Denmark, play with fireworks at 00:00 01/01, DO NOT BLOW OFF ANY FINGERS OR ARMS OR WHATEVER. Please stay in one piece okay? I hope you get to 2015 safely, likely also staying safe after we reached 2015, thank you.
I wish you HAPPY NEW YEAR and may you have an awesome 2015! Let's rock the new year :3

Apr 15 2015 - 7pm ~ The Fritz Cinema, Salt Spring Island
(A Documentary Film Event)
Special Screening of INHABIT: A PERMACULTURE PERSPECTIVE with its Director, Cinematographer & Editor, Costa Boutsikaris.
This special screening of Inhabit is being held at The Fritz Cinema on Wednesday, April 15th at 7pm.
Timed to spearhead the Celebrations of Earth Day this year, this screening provides an opportunity for the community to watch a film, learn about Permaculture and engage in an informative and lively conversation. Costa Boutsikaris, Raffi Cavoukian, Michael Nickels and other local permaculturists will lead a discussion afterwards including a special viewing of Michael Nickels new short permaculture video.
There are no advance tickets, so the community is invited to come early to get a seat. Admission is $10 or by donation.
Humanity is more than ever threatened by its own actions; we hear a lot about the need to minimize footprints and to reduce our impact. But what if our footprints were beneficial? What if we could meet human needs while increasing the health and well-being of our planet? This is the premise behind permaculture: a design process based on the replication of patterns found in nature. INHABIT explores the many environmental issues today and examines solutions that are being applied using the ecological design lens of permaculture. Inhabit provides an intimate look at permaculture peoples and practices ranging from rural, suburban, and urban landscapes.
INHABIT is directed by Costa Boutsikaris and produced by Emmett Brennan.
92 minutes Full-Feature documentary
Trailer: http://www.inhabitfilm.com
Filmmaker: Costa Boutsikaris grew up in the Hudson River Valley of New York. He studied filmmaking at the New York Film Academy and went on to receive a BA in Visual Arts and Film at Rutgers University. During his Senior year he took a Permaculture Design Course in New York City which began his fascination with ecological design and regenerative agriculture. After traveling around the Northeast US for a year learning more about this design philosophy and living at permaculture sites he was inspired to make his first feature documentary. After raising funds on KickStarter he converted a 1982 VW Van to run on vegetable oil and solar panels and began a three-year journey to make INHABIT.
100% of INHABIT proceeds go to charities that contribute to a more loving, kind, compassionate and equitable world for all. Proceeds from this screening will go to the Centre for Child Honouring and Seven Ravens Permaculture Academy & Permaculture Garden Projects in Africa.

YOGA is the Union of Atman and Brahman (Advaita Vedanta), of Shiva & Shakti (Tantra) or through the dis-union of Purusha & Prakriti (Yoga). These three streams all bring you to the same Center of Consciousness, to a state of Yoga… there is only ONE ABSOLUTE REALITY… thus… there is really only ONE REAL YOGA
1) Our preparation starts with the systematic meditation practice offered in the Yoga Sutras.
2) However, from the beginning our philosophy is Non-dualism, which is experienced through the contemplative practice offered in Advaita Vedanta. The ability to direct your attention to the formless Non-dual Reality is supported by the systematic meditation practice.
3) But, the icing on top of this contemplative practice is the unfolding awe and devotion to Tripura Sundari; formless Consciousness that appears to play as form. Through inner worship and meditation on the formless Divine Mother one can experience that Shiva and Shakti are one and the same. After this realization, gradually all the waves within the play of Pure Consciousness can be mastered. This adept can play in Leela, while always being at Home, at Tripura.
The Yoga of the Yoga Sutras leads you to the experience of the Self resting in its own true nature. This happens when all the movements in Pure Consciousnesses have been mastered and temporary be set aside –> when they go nirodhah. This is Yoga through the dis-union of Purusha (pure Consciousness) and Prakriti (appearing matter, in its subtlest form).
read more: Yoga Meditation; a universal process | Yoga Meditation, Desire & Bhava | 8 Rungs of Yoga & 8 Steps of Self-transformation
In Yoga philosophy (which rest on Sankyha philosophy) two things appear to be eternally present; Purusha, Pure Consciousness and Prakriti, subtlest matter. By an appearing process of forgetting (avidya) Purusha has taken on the movements that appear within Prakriti as identities. Pure Consciousness has permeated these separate appearing waves within Prakriti and is wearing them. It seems as if Pure Consciousness has colored itself with attachment.
The meditation practice that is offered in the Yoga Sutras teaches us how to systematically move our attention inward to the subtler and subtler the levels of coloring/attachment so that buddhi sharpens and it sees Prakriti for what it truly is; the not-self. This removes the colorings (kleshas 2.3) bringing an increasing state of non-attachment (vairagya) to the layers of Prakriti. In this way attention moves inward all the way until it can be directed to buddhi and the gunas itself. This process of increasing non-attachment gives intuitive knowledge about the nature of the Self. This intuitive knowledge, that comes from discrimination knowledge, works like gravity. So that one moment all of Prakriti temporary falls away in a state of nirodhah and Yoga happens; a state of Union that has been always there.
Thus, in this Dualistic view of how to attain the pre-existing Union, all of Prakriti is tempopary set aside in a state of nirodhah in which Pure Consciousness stands alone, that is called Yoga.
In our tradition these meditation practices from Yoga Sutras are seen as preparation. Our philosophy is Non-dualism. But as long as dualism appears to exits, the Yoga Sutras offer us an highly practical and systematic way of dealing with the apparent attachments. But… if one would practice only Yoga meditation, with full determination and would carry it all the way, don't think they would end up at a different Yoga. Because, there is only ONE FORMLESS PURE CONSCIOUSNESS. It can be seen as appearing dualism or non-dualism, there still is only one Reality. Any sincere seeker, no matter what tradition, no matter where in the world, which religion, agnostic, or atheist, or non of these, if one dives deep enough will end up at the same Center of Consciousness. (As you can see this opinion is already based on non-dualism, that even if you would practice dualism it will bring you to a cliff, of which you will have to jump, into formless pure union to experience Yoga… grace guides all sincere seekers home)
Advaita means not-two. In this philosophy dualism is an appearing illusion (maya) within the non-dual reality, called Brahman. In the highest realization Atman, the individual Self, and Brahman, the universal Self, are seen as one and the same: AYAM ATMAN BRAHMAN (Atman and brahman are the same), simultaneously comes the realization of SARVAM KHALVIDAM BRAHMAN (All of this is brahman). This is also called Yoga, a state of Union.
read more: Contemplation: sravana-manana-nididhyasa
With discrimination the seeker contemplates on the Absolute Reality and discerns between real and unreal, between Brahman and the appearing maya. That which is seen as unreal is discarded and renounced as an illusion. By a process of not-this, not-this, not-this, a 'awareness' of what is now labeled as not-self increases. This is a process of eliminating. The expanded awareness towards the not-self increases the awareness of the Self.
Through the process of contemplation, the true nature of Atman, the individual true Self becomes clearer and clearer. So that all attention can be directed in constant contemplation to the Self alone.
This constant contemplation leads to the direct experience of the true Self, which is called atman jnana, the knowledge of Atman. In this moment is also becomes clear that, ATMAN AND BRAHMAN ARE THE SAME, and ALL IS BRAHMAN there is only one Absolute Reality, there is no second.
The union in which Shiva and Shakti are directly experienced as one and the same, they were never separated in the first place, is also called YOGA. Through meditation and contemplation on the formless a deep devotion is cultivated toward Tripura Sundari (The One who dwells in the 3 cities of Waking, Dreaming, and Deep Sleep) which will lead to complete surrender into Tripura Sundari. She is seen in all waves of manifestation. She is the one that plays as form, but is always formless.
read more: Tripura Sundari | Divine Mother | Yoga Meditation, Desire & Bhava
First one seeks atman jnana, a direct experience of the Atman, of Pure Consciousness, being one and the same as Brahman. After that practice is not finished. Then gradually one learns to master all of the levels of Consciousness, all the three cities in which Tripura Sundari plays. This doesn't mean Tantra is practiced only after the direct experience of Atman. The power of devotion, of bhava, leads the seeker to constant contemplation on Atman easily. The awe toward Tripura Sundari grows along the way, and supports the contemplation and meditation on the formless. How will it grow? By being constantly aware of pure Consciousness of Tripura Sundari. "I am constantly with you". See Her is all forms, all sensory experiences. See Tripura Sundari in all the waves of bliss and beauty.
This website is not to show you the differences between these three streams, but to show you how they work together. To show you that they were never separate in the first place, because there is only ONE YOGA. The habit of the mind is to divert, to pull apart. Every time it appears as if Yoga is presented in another way it has been labeled with a new word, new philosophy, because this is how the mind works; buddhi labels everything, so it can 'know' everything that seems to occur within the appearing dualism. This is how communication works. It is not a bad thing, as long as we recognize its for what it is; A TOOL. Each stream has done the impossible; to communicate the indescribable. Each has found a way to guide the seeker to Yoga.
If we allow all the offerings of Yoga, Vedanta, and Tantra to work together, it will offer you a practice that includes Yoga Meditation, Contemplation and Devotion leading you to Self-realization – YOGA. These three aspects of the same practice reinforce each other.

Yoga Meditation, Contemplation, and Devotion for Self-realization
This site is an offering to those who deeply long to experience Pure Consciousness that is known as Divine Mother or Tripura ('Tri' means three, and 'pura' means city); She is the one that lives in the three cities of Waking, Dreaming and Deep Sleep. Temporary leaving behind the three cities and residing only in Pure Consciousness is called Self-realization. Another name for this realization is Yoga; the union of the individual self with the universal Self; the union of Atman with Brahman, or Shiva with Shakti; or the dis-union of Purusha and Prakriti. Some might think of Tripura as an anthropomorphic being but She is not, She is the Non-dual Reality in which all appearing manifestation seems to exist. All that is, is the Non-dual Reality.
On this site the teachings of Yoga, Vedanta, and Samaya Sri Vidya Tantra are offered to guide you in learning to meditate directly on Tripura by using modern ways of communication such as through animations, while preserving the ancient wisdom. These teaching have been given to us by an ancient lineage of meditation masters, lovingly called the Tradition of the Himalayan masters. These practices lead us to a space of stillness and silence where Yoga meditation, contemplation, mantra and prayer converge into deep devotion and constant awareness of Tripura. At the end of the journey when all efforts are exhausted, grace will dawn. This is known as shaktipata, through which the final barrier is removed, which is the piercing of the bindu, and leads to the direct experience of Non-dual Reality. This finally reveals an unimaginable Joy from knowing the Non-dual Reality or Pure Consciousness!

The biggest mystery since the Easter Island must be the myth the Mark Warner (contact) is somehow a "fiscal conservative," not to mention these famous remarks (click here). Starting with his Virginia record tax increase (breaking a campaign pledge) in 2004 to his 50 percent increase in state spending while governor, it's unfortunate that too many in Virginia's business community helped perpetuate the myth. Now, please, can we do away with it once and for all? Senator Warner voted for $787 billion stimulus last winter in his first major vote. Then, he voted for the omnibus spending bill ("stimulus 2"). Now, within the last two weeks, he's voted for a $1.1 trillion spending bill ("stimulus 3") (see Richmond Times-Dispatch) and for the trillions-dollar-plus socialized medicine bill. Please tell me how this is fiscal conservatism?
Of course, don't tell that to the Washington Post, which published a feature Saturday on the senator's first year. Poor baby. He's frustrated that he can't get more of his Democrat colleagues to take a more centrist course. It's pretty frightening to think of Senator Warner's definition of "centrist" after stacking up centuries of debt on us. His early record shows little sign of centrism and almost every sign of way-out-on-the-left-wing-Barbara Boxer-Harry Reid-John Kerry-(pick your favorite liberal here)-leftist-elitist-liberalism. Let the lie die now, please.

submitting your registration form is Thursday, Jan. 31, 2019 at 4 p.m. No registrations will be accepted after this date.
Please see the following resources for transitional support for Grade 8 to Grade 9 Math.
Inclement Weather Reminders:
When bus transportation is cancelled, it is cancelled for the entire day. Parents who bring their children to school when buses are cancelled, must make arrangements to pick them up at dismissal time.
When buses are cancelled, all before and after school activities/clubs/meetings are also cancelled. Please check the Board website or local radio/TV for information re: transportation when there is inclement weather.
Please remember that parents/guardians who keep their child(ren) at home when schools are open, are required to report this absence before the school day starts.

Safety Reminders:
Please remember to use care and caution when driving in the neighbourhood during arrival and dismissals times. The parking lot is for staff only and parents/guardians should not be using this area as a pick up or drop off location. We have noticed an increase in people waiting/dropping off in the fire lane - this is not safe and it is illegal. We remind you to make arrangements with your child(ren) and drop off/pick up on a neighbouring street. We have had complaints from neighbours about cars blocking driveways and fire hydrants - please help us be good neighbours by respecting the City of Burlington and school safety signage.
If you are taking your child to the YMCA before school care, we ask that you please use caution when driving in the parking lot and drive slowly.
Thank you for your support in keeping our students, families and community members safe.
We continue to remind students to follow the Pineland Tech Agreement and Norms. Students are not to have their cell phones out in class, in the hallway or during breaks. Cell phones should be turned off and locked in a locker during the school day unless the teacher has asked the student to use it for a period for instructional purposes. Students are able to use the office phone when needed.

Ordering is available until Friday, Oct. 12th with an estimated date of delivery the week of November 5th.
Parking lot/road safety: This is a reminder that the parking lot is for staff members only. We have noticed an increase in cars dropping off/waiting in the fire lane by the side door - this is not a safe place to drop off or pick up students and it is also illegal. We ask that you make arrangements with your child to pick them up out front or on a neighbouring side street. Please remember to follow the City and school safety signage. Please do not park on neighbour's driveways, block fire hydrants and/or driveways. Bylaw enforcement will continue to monitor the area.
End of day: Students and families are reminded that after school supervision ends at 3:35pm and students should be leaving the property for home, after school care, etc. at the end of the day.
Bikes/Scooters: We are pleased to see students continuing to use their bikes/scooters to commute to and from school in a healthy and active way. Please ensure bikes/scooters are locked outside and helmets (required by law - see below) can be kept in backpacks during the day.
Important information re: student pick ups/drop offs: We understand that unexpected and/or emergency circumstances arise where your child needs to be picked up during the school hours. For all other circumstances, we ask that you please send your child(ren) with a note or contact the teacher ahead of time to request the dismissal. We are noticing a number of interruptions during instructional time to call a student out of class. This is very disruptive to the learning and we are trying to minimize this. Our office is very busy and we appreciate your help in limiting calls/requests for pick ups. Also, when dropping your child off, please say your good-bye at the office. If necessary, a staff member will walk your child to class. We are trying to limit the number of interruptions in the school day. Thank you!

Taking Professional Development Personally: 3 Strategies for a Better ROI

During a keynote at a recent conference, I asked the audience to raise their hands if they worked for a company that has a mission and set of values. All of the hands went up.

This morning we said our goodbyes to Mike and Vic, then headed to the first of two stops for the day. Katrina's cousin DJ and family had us over for brunch. DJ made everyone cooked to order eggs. We had a nice visit. Brandon had fun playing with the kids. I was able to try DJ's homebrew, green chili beer. It was actually pretty good.
In the afternoon we headed to Dave and Tiffany's house for a BBQ. Dave is another cousin of Katrina's. We enjoyed some hamburgers and hot dogs for dinner. Brandon had a great time with the kids and playing on Dave's Xbox.

Through her modeling career that included features in Elle, Vogue, GQ, and Esquire magazines, she was able to travel and learn about the different cultures and lifestyles of others. Summer Crosley, a model represented by top model agencies such as Elite Models, Wilhelmina and 3D Model Agency in Cape Town, talks about how she learned the importance of ocean and wildlife. Summer has been working closely with conservation groups to help raise the awareness of how humans have impacted the world. Her dedication for many life conservation groups shows us that she is passionate about what she strongly believes in. Just her Instagram bio alone inspires us!
The ocean stirs the heart, inspires the imagination and brings eternal joy to the soul.
1. You've been modeling for some time now, what is your long-term goal for your personal brand?
My long-term goal, which I have already started working on, is to build a plastic-free world, Maby grocery stores and retail outlets are consuming thousands of plastic bags a day. For example, plastic many years ago was banned in California stores, however, in many states such as Florida, they still use many plastic bags. So I'm in the process of creating a charity to target people in retail stores who are using plastic and try to put a stop on it to save our world. I would like to start even my own fashion line based on climate change.
2. How long did it take for your modeling career to take off?
1-2 years. As a model, it takes a lot of self-confidence and self-esteem to be able to feel comfortable in front of the camera and really build a connection and bond with all the people you are working with. Being in front of the camera is a lot more intimidating than what it appears.
3. What made you get involved in the Ocean Life Conservation?
I got involved in the ocean life conservation through all my travels in the world. The real highlight was when I was in Bali Indonesia and I started my own candle company made out of shells and I was donating a lot of the proceeds to ocean conservation groups.
4. Who or what currently inspires you?
To be honest the world inspires me, right now our world is suffering from the overpopulation and the over-consumption of goods, there have been so many hurricanes and earthquakes lately which just goes to show that mother nature is speaking loud and clear to everyone to make a change. Right now I am very inspired to be even more proactive in my efforts to save the ocean and all the little step that every individual can take that will make a difference
5. Who/what organization do you see your brand collaborating within the near future?
Oceana.org, who I already have partnered with. They are the world's largest ocean conservation group and I will be working diligently with them to broadcast my advice to individuals on what they can do to save the ocean and our planet.
6. Do you have any tips that would help other brands and bloggers create a meaningful experience when partnering for an influencer campaign?
I really believe that fashion and lifestyle and media and music and art and culture all go hand-in-hand with one another. I believe it's good to be diverse and focus on all different areas to collaborate with other bloggers and other creative really enhance your product or idea.
So, there you have it! Summer shares with us her experience working with Ocean Life Conservation to help raise awareness and how in the future she would like to collaborate with other organizations. With her modeling career, it has made a great experience for Summer to build connections and brand herself with the organizations that she's been dedicating herself to. We also hope to see her complete her long-term goals in the very near future. If you guys want to follow along on her journey, go ahead and hit the follow button on Instagram @summercrosley or want to get to know more about Summer, head on over to her website. Enjoy! We know we did, getting to learn more about this beautiful soul.

People sometimes forget that to be a good comedian is to be a good writer. Not always, but for the most part, these talents go hand in hand. Jokes, bits, monologues: They're often the little brothers and sisters of the short story and the memoir. They may be crass younger siblings, but if David Sedaris has taught us anything, it's that you can't choose your family.
One of the best things about books written by comedians doesn't actually involve any reading — which is great if, like me, you're a person who enjoys being entertained and being lazy simultaneously. Funny audiobooks present the added bonus of timing and inflection. When they're read aloud by the author, which appears to be convention for books by comedians, the delivery is even better. Funny voices and pregnant pauses make for a quality listening experience, the type you can talk about with the same affected tone as your friend who only reads Salinger in "first or second editions" — that is: for the experience.
We've compiled a list of eight such experiences, all of which were recently released and available for purchase through iTunes or Amazon/Audible. Enjoy!
1. I Can Barely Take Care of Myself by Jen Kirkman
Kirkman is a writer at Chelsea Lately, but we won't hold that against her. She's a genuinely funny comic who made her mark by impersonating her thickly accented Bostonian mother. Ruminations on parenthood, or rather non-parenthood, abound in I Can Barely Take Care of Myself, including an incident where the author mistakenly inspires a three-year-old boy to become a future murderer.
2. Is It Just Me? by Miranda Hart
Britain's answer to Tina Fey has yet to wet her toes in the American market, but her eponymous sitcom on BBC is arguably one of the funniest shows in all the Anglosphere. In Is It Just Me?, Hart brings her talents to the literary realm, presenting a memoir that is one part one-woman show, one part tongue-in-cheek advice column and all parts general hilarity. Pay special attention to the chapter in which she describes an impromptu pantless meeting with a group of very sober BBC development execs.
You may recognize Jim Gaffigan from his guest stint on IFC's Portlandia (as Donald, the gay stew-truck co-owner) or from being the only tolerable aspect of 2010's Going the Distance. His stand-up is excellent, and he doesn't disappoint with the perfectly titled Dad is Fat, a fresh take on Bill Cosby's Fatherhood that explores such nebulously philosophical topics as toddler taco-eating methodologies.
4. Girl Walks into a Bar by Rachel Dratch
Any time I see a photo of Rachel Dratch, I immediately think "Poor Rachel Dratch." Dratch is the Michelle Williams to Saturday Night Live's Destiny's Child: Despite her hilarious tenure on the late-night comedy hour, her talent has been all but totally obscured by contemporaries Tina Fey and Amy Poehler. In Girl Walks into a Bar, Dratch explores the rougher years post SNL with that signature combination of dry cynicism and wide-eyed earnestness we know and love. All we needed was a little reminder.
5. Still Foolin' 'Em by Billy Crystal
Another SNL alum makes the list with his much-awaited memoir, Still Foolin' 'Em. America's favorite funny guy/perennial Oscars host casts a brighter ray of light on the mustier topics of age and looming death, riffing on the endearing (grand-parenting) to the everyday (getting dental work) with that trademark irreverent charm. Billy, thanks to Still Foolin' 'Em, we almost forgive you for Parental Guidance.
6. The Dangerous Animals Club by Stephen Tobolowsky
Stephen Tobolowsky is "That Guy" — "Oh, That Guy! From that show or that movie! Yeah, I know him!" It's an illustrious middle name. An architect of the modern character actor, it might come as a surprise to some that Tobolowsky, who is known for his comically dragging voice and effeminate caricatures on shows like Glee and The Mindy Project, is also a prolific writer and gifted essayist. The Dangerous Animals Club is a funny and poignant take on art, life and thought from one of the hardest working men in Hollywood. Also: the voice. 'Nough said.
7. Self-Inflicted Wounds by Aisha Tyler
I know: Surely we've all had enough of the beautiful, leggy Hollywood-type baring all of her quirky (but ultimately not at all embarrassing) misfortunes in the trendy memoir-essay hybrid collection. At first glance, Self-Inflicted Wounds appears to be just that. But Tyler, a veteran of the national comedy circuit, is actually quite smart. She went to Dartmouth, like some of our other favorite funny-women, and presents a memoir that is by no means a vehicle for self-flattery — unless you consider nearly gutting yourself on a discarded hobby horse "flattering."
8. Let's Discuss Diabetes with Owls by David Sedaris
And finally, we can't discuss funny audiobooks without bringing up the master himself: Let's Discuss Diabetes with Owls explores David's life as an established writer, and through essays like "Laugh, Kookaburra" and "Obama!!!!!", we learn that fame and accomplishment has done little to affect his sharply observant, yet comically clueless accounts. Plus, no one does that nasally Sedaris rasp better than the man himself.
Jake Flanagin is a writer living in Washington, D.C., where he does story research for The Atlantic magazine and writes about pop culture and social issues. He holds a B.A. in comparative literature from New York University and thinks the bagel situation in D.C. is deplorable. In his free time, he likes to watch reruns of Growing Pains and remains steadfastly ambivalent on the issue of Kirk Cameron.

Govt reveals pension dashboard details
By Christine Dawson
The government has revealed its recommendations for a pension dashboard, nine months after it was due to publish the information.
The Department for Work and Pensions' feasibility report states from 2019 we will see the first of multiple dashboards that will allow savers to access their pension information in one place online.
Having numerous commercial dashboards is thought by DWP to improve consumer choice, but there will also be a non-commercial dashboard hosted by a government financial guidance body, "offering an impartial service to those who prefer it, or who may not be targeted by the market."
Here is a summary of the long-awaited pension dashboard details:
The dashboards will be overseen by the Single Financial Guidance Body, which replaces the Money Advice Service, the Pensions Advisory Service and Pension Wise. The SFGB is due to go live in January 2019.
Minister for pensions and financial inclusion Guy Opperman says: "In the absence of a clear industry lead, we propose that there is a role for the new SFGB to convene and oversee an industry delivery group to enable successful implementation.
"We believe that multiple dashboards will improve choice for consumers, allowing them to use the dashboard that most meets their needs. However, these should exist alongside a non-commercial dashboard hosted by the SFGB, offering an impartial service to those who prefer it, or who may not be targeted by the market."
An industry-led group will design, deliver and implement the project. It will be responsible for the details of how the dashboard will function but DWP will stipulate principles which should underpin the service. These principles include security of individuals' data.
DWP says it expects the delivery group to draw on the experience and knowledge of pension providers, financial services, financial technology, consumer organisations and regulators the FCA and The Pensions Regulator.
The state pension
At launch the pension dashboard will not include state pension pots. The report says it is the responsibility of the industry delivery group, working with government, to ensure state pension data can connect to the pension dashboard.
In the meantime a link to an existing site allowing you to check your state pension will be available.
The government says it is prepared to legally oblige pension schemes to provide data for the dashboard. Where a pension scheme does not have the capability to provide the pension data directly they can allow an integrated service provider to securely access the necessary information.
Some schemes might be exempt, such as SSAS and executive pension plans, as they are said by the DWP to have members much less likely to use a dashboard.
Part of the scope of the delivery group's work will be to build and find a pension finder service; a single search portal for people to find pension schemes they are linked to. The portal will not show pension values or aggregate data.
In September this year DWP said the majority of funding should come from the pension industry itself. Today's report states government funding will be limited to the costs of any new legislation that is needed and developing a system by which state pension data is available through dashboards.
As well as the governance structure of the service, the industry will need to pay for the dashboard infrastructure including the single pension finder service and identity verification, a non-commercial, consumer-focused dashboard hosted by the SFGB and new regulatory functions related to dashboards.
DWP says different funding routes will be used for different elements of the project, with industry levies being one route it will explore.
The onboarding timeframe for pension schemes will vary. The report states some pension providers and schemes are keen to participate in the pension dashboard project as soon as possible.
It notes more than a quarter of the total workplace pensions in the UK, covering 10m members, are currently with 90 different master trust schemes. DWP says: "Defined contribution schemes such as master trusts would represent a good opportunity to maximise coverage over a relatively short period of time."
Public sector pension schemes, defined benefit and DB/DC hybrid schemes will need more time to prepare their data before participating.
The industry-led dashboard, facilitated by the SFGB, is expected to be introduced from 2019 and a phased introduction of other schemes and providers is estimated to take around three to four years.
Choices, choices
Opperman says the dashboard project will help people make better choices: "Pensions dashboards will offer people access to their information from multiple pensions at a time of their choosing.
"In the internet age, people expect information at their fingertips. When it comes to crucial information such as pensions, people should have access to accurate and useful information, which alongside guidance or advice will allow them to make the best choices for their investments and retirements.
"Harnessing the power of technology to give people easier access to their information will help them be more informed when planning their retirement – one of the most important financial decisions in a person's life."
The consultation on DWP's recommendations is open until 28 January 2019.

A light touch on the arm dramatically increases compliance with all manner of requests, from asking for money to asking for a woman's phone number.
Via Richard Wiseman's excellent book 59 Seconds: Change Your Life in Under a Minute:
A large number of studies has shown that touching someone the upper arm for just a second or two can have a surprisingly significant effect on how much help they then provide. In one experiment American researchers approached people in the street and asked them for a dime. A brief touch on the upper arm increased the likelihood of getting the money by 20 percent. Similar work has shown that the same subtle touch also significantly increases the likelihood that people will sign petitions, leave a tip for waitstaff, participate in a supermarket taste test (which then, in turn, increases the chances that they will buy the product), drink more in a bar, and become involved in charity work.
In the nightclub, women accepted the offer of a dance 43 percent of the time when not being touched on the arm and 65 percent after even the briefest of touches. In the street, the research team obtained telephone numbers from 10 percent of women no physical contact and almost 20 percent when touching. In both cases a brief touch dramatically increased success.

About Me
"It's not what you look at that matters, it's what you see"
- Henry David Thoreau
"For the perfect flâneur, for the passionate spectator, it is an immense joy to set up house in the heart of the multitude, amid the ebb and flow of movement, in the midst of the fugitive and the infinite. To be away from home and yet to feel oneself everywhere at home; to see the world, to be at the centre of the world, and yet to remain hidden from the world"
- Charles Baudelaire
We all look, but we don't all see the same things - if we see anything at all, that is. Photography forces the eye to see differently, to find the things we wouldn't normally notice.
I have a particular love of street photography, combined with a delight in travelling to new places - the uncertainty of what's around the next corner, the peculiarities of human behaviour revealed, the strange juxtapositions that present themselves, all make exploring the streets with camera in hand and eyes open a rewarding experience. In the Nineteenth century it might have been described as being a flaneur - strolling the streets apparently with no motive or destination but in fact keenly observing all that is going on.
I also love black and white photography - it's hard to explain, but somehow it strips the subject down to its essence, and conveys a feeling you just don't get with most colour photography.
I'm based in Belfast, Northern Ireland. I trained originally as an archaeologist but now work in software development, going from the very old to the very new.Don't hesitate to contact me via the Contact form on the menu if you have any questions. Note that pictures in the galleries are displayed at a lower resolution than actual size, for speed and security reasons.

Nicole interviews on Parent Entrepreneur Power podcast
Rummaging through my files this week I realized I never shared with ya'll this podcast I did with Mary Kathryn Johnson, host of the Parent Entrepreneur Power podcast. In it we chat about being a mother first, working from home and the path we take that leads us to where we are. As I re-listened to this interview from two years ago, I realized as an entrepreneur, I'm not as far along as I thought I'd be in 2017. And that made me sad. Because if I'm being totally honest, it feels like I'm a hamster on a wheel,...Read More

March 1st Is Zero Discrimination Day: What's Your Tolerance Level?
Zero Discrimination Day is a chance to celebrate diversity and to reject discrimination. By joining our voices together, we can be part of a resounding call for compassion, tolerance and peace. — UNAIDS
Committing to making our word free of stigma and discrimination is not an option, IT'S A DUTY. — MICHEL SIDIBÉ, UNAIDS EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
This being Zero Discrimination Day, a day for increased tolerance and compassion, I wanted to write about our increasing levels of tolerance of various aspects of society today. We are increasing aware of, and more tolerant of the rights of people who may not fit the mold of what we consider to be "normal" and those who do not conform to what we personally believe to be the "normal behavior" expected by society. While we may not completely agree with the sexual orientation, occupations/livelihoods, and religious and cultural beliefs of others we mingle with, we need to be able to appreciate that we are all different and that these individual differences make up today's world.
Some marginalized groups in society have had to come out and stand up for their rights to be treated well and not be discriminated against. Communities such as the LGBT community are making great progress in getting more recognition of their rights and needs. This is great because we are starting to understand how it feels like to live in their world and appreciate the different aspects of their lives from ours.
More HIV-positive persons are also coming out publicly about their illnesses and as they do so, we are starting to appreciate the fact that HIV infection is closer to us than we may want to acknowledge. That family member, coworker, church member, neighbor, and celebrity we know is HIV-positive? Wow, who would have known until they said something, right? After all they look like just the rest of us, right?
Through the sharing of these stories, we are getting more tolerant of HIV-positive persons. However globally, HIV stigma is still a pandemic in and of itself adding onto the difficulty of living with the illness for an infected person and his/her family members. Isn't it amazing how we can be friends for years with a person or love him/her as a family member until we find out he/she is HIV-positive? As soon as we find out, we start treating him/her differently, but really what has changed? Isn't he/she still the same person we loved and cared about until the word HIV-positive was associated with him/her?
As part of commemorating Zero Discrimination Day, I dare ask, do we have a right to judge anyone because he/she is HIV-positive? Do we really know how it is to live a day as a HIV-positive person? What makes us so intolerant and insensitive that we can openly (or behind his/her back) mock a sick person because of his/her illness? Surely we were not there when he/she became infected to know how the infection was acquired? Okay, sometimes we know that he/she participated in behaviors that made him/her become infected, but we cannot go back and change the fact that he/she is infected, will stigmatizing him/her help improve the situation? How about those children infected at birth through no fault of their own who are now today's adults, seeking love and understanding from us, so they can deal with the cards dealt them and move on with their lives? Okay now take out the him/her in the equation and add the name of the person you love most and just found out that he/she is HIV-positive, does he/she need your support?
Today on Zero Discrimination Day and going forth, I challenge each of us to do some deep soul searching and really try to understand what it is inside of us, that makes us to look upon others with disdain, as less than humans, as persons not worthy of our time who should be ignored, stigmatized, discriminated against, all because they are HIV-positive! I challenge each of us to follow the theme of the day and "Open Up and Reach Out" to at least one HIV-positive person. We may be pleasantly (or unpleasantly) surprised to find we are the only persons who have done so. When you do reach out, please check your preset views about the person or the illness at the door, and really try to know him/her. You will find that he/she is no different from the rest of us, he/she just happens to have a virus in his/her body called the Human Immunodeficiency Virus.

Right here's the situation, I'm not the greatest gamer out there but do enjoy to play a DS game here and there. What I'm looking for is an easily accessible Disney game which can satisfy a basic gamer and still prove challenging. Despite having a DS for 3 years now the only games I own are Pokemon and Mario & Sonic Winter Olympics so I have very little knowledge on DS games as a whole. Could anyone be so kind as to please recommend me a good Disney game?
Many thanks guys
Many thanks guys

Today some 500 or more young lay leaders, pastors, staff, church planters and potential church planters gathered here in Cape Town at Common Ground Church to hear Tim Keller speak on the themes of The Importance and Priority of Cities For Gospel Ministry, The Distinctives of Urban Church Planting and How the Gospel Should Impact the Society and Culture in which we live. Tonight more than 5000 will gather to hear him speak on The Prodigal God. In effect both events are sowing the seeds of Gospel-centered theology and Gospel-driven church ministry. To all outward appearance the seeds fell on fertile ground. The listeners were very receptive, asking very perceptive questions throughout the day. With all the work that has gone into laying the foundation of a new movement of church planting in Cape Town and the surrounding area over the last three years, we are hopeful about the prospects of seeing that movement gain great momentum.
There are some amazing churches in the area, already given to evangelistic ministry and solid Christian discipleship. But their testimony is that this is what they needed to vault them ahead in re-reaching the city for Christ. In the coming months we will be helping to form a trans-denominational network of church planters and church planting churches that will be committed to planting churches in every neighborhood of the city and among every people group, class and ethnicity.
We are expecting even larger numbers of church leaders to attend a similar event in Johannesburg on Monday. There, too, we are hoping to help develop a network of churches and church planters that will plants dozens of churches in Soweto, Johannesburg, Thembesa and Pretoria, a metropolitan area that has a population of more than 16 million people and is rapidly growing.

Angler's Choice Lake Havasu Pro Am February 2011
The is the second stop on the U. S. Angler's Choice Pro/AAA Southern Division 2011 season. This is a two day event on spectacular Lake Havasu. The first event of this three stop series was held right here back in November 2010. These events feature some of the best competing bass anglers anywhere on the planet.
The is the second stop on the U. S. Angler's Choice Pro/AAA Southern Division 2011 season. This is a two day event on spectacular Lake Havasu. The first event of this three stop series was held right here back in November 2010. These events feature some of the best competing bass anglers anywhere on the planet.
At this event the anglers were once again on an excellent bite. Bass like the one I am holding would prove to be somewhat average at the scales. This time the smallmouth bass dominated the weigh bags. Let's take a look at some of the results from this desert oasis.
Day one Troy Lindner holding his two best fish. These beautiful action packed small mouths anchored the day one pro leader spot with 16.94 lbs. In his left he is holding the day one big bass a tenacious smallie weighing 4.36 lbs, Nice!
As I mentioned in another post this is an outstanding job. Due to unexpected boat repairs from an earlier event it took a late night trek from Los Angeles across the Mohave Desert for Troy to reach the lake on Friday morning for a few short hours of practice. As you can see he certainly made good use of his time. This place fields some excellent talent.
After the win Troy made some interesting comments. With such limited practice he said that it felt like it was him against the lake and he forgot about the field. It also enable him to be more open to new techniques and new water. I have heard similar comments before from other notable champions.
This is Walt Kondracki Jr. Walt is one of the newest BBZ members. Fishing the pro side Walt is following a strong performance at the previous tournament, Troy helping, he is holding his day two limit. Wow! Walt has a bag of smallies at almost 18lbs. With 17.97 lbs his second day effort lifted him into the money and another superior finish!
Troy and Walt are not very nice They won't let their triple A partners stand in the pictures. Mine does though and was happy to do so. This is pro angler Gary Pinholster. Gary and I managed to put together the biggest bag of the event. At 18.06 lbs we mixed it up with a few nice largemouth. Remember that you small mouth guys. Gary is holding the day two and event Pro big fish at 4.91 lbs and I am holding the AAA day two and event big bass at 3.52 lbs, both bucket mouths.
After jumping into the lead on day one Troy's two day total of 32.62 lbs. held off all day two challengers. Hey congratulations again Troy. Also congratulations to Darin Guglielmo the winning AAA angler. His winning efforts of 33.38 lbs shows that front or back there is a lot of fun to be had here.
Once again Havasu proves to be one of my favorite bass fishing destinations. If you decided to fish this event you made the right move and were rewarded to some excellent bass fishing. Thank you to everyone for sending me your pictures. Good luck and we will see you next time when the U. S. Anglers Choice Pro/AAA Southern Trail makes their final regular season stop this May at Lake Mead Nevada.
Good bye for now Lake Havasu. I hope to see you again soon. I know it won't be soon enough.

Yesterday was my hubby's Birthday and he wanted to go to the beach so after what felt like an eternity, we were finally all packed up and ready to drive down to the beach. I'm going to let the pictures do the talking today.
The day began a little rocky with hold up after hold up, but all in all we had a lot of fun at the beach! Sunday night we surprised my hubby with a chocolate cake, a happy birthday banner we made, and a birthday card made by the boys. Caleb was so excited for his daddy to come home and see the surprises we made for him. As soon as my hubby walked in the door Caleb told him to close his eyes, led him to the kitchen, and then told him to open his eyes and yelled "Surprise Dada, we made you a cake!" I know we've been saying it for the past couple days, but I want to say again to my hubby, Happy Birthday! I love you and look forward to the many more birthdays we will celebrate together.

SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) California Democratic leaders urged Congress on Friday not to eliminate programs that helped finance roughly two-thirds of the state"s recent affordable housing supply in recent years.
"We cannot overstate the vital role these programs play in building and preserving affordable housing throughout the nation, but especially in California as we struggle with a housing crisis that is quickly metastasizing into a humanitarian and public health catastrophe," State Treasurer John Chiang wrote in a letter sent to Republican U.S. House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy and other members.
California lacks an estimated 1.5 million affordable rental units. The Legislature this year passed a package of bills aimed at tackling the rising costs and crunched housing supply, including measures to cut regulations that stifle building and provide more money for construction.
Chiang"s letter focused on a specific bond program that the GOP tax plan would eliminate. Without those bonds, developers can"t apply for certain low-income housing tax credits that help them get financing to produce low-cost units. Together the programs created or preserved more than 20,000 units in 2016, with most set aside for households that earn less than 60 percent of an area median income, the letter said.
"At a time when our state has a deficit of more than 1.5 million affordable rental homes, we cannot afford to lose the single largest program helping to address this deficit," the letter said.
McCarthy spokesman Matt Sparks did not respond to a request for comment about the policy or the letter.
Assembly Speaker Anthony Rendon signed the letter, as did state Sen. Jim Beall, Assemblyman David Chiu, the executive directors of three housing organizations and the president of the State Building and Construction Trades Council.
Chiang is running for governor.
This story has been corrected to remove Senate leader Kevin de Leon"s name as one of the signers. He did not sign the letter.

"A Place in Two Dimensions: A Selection from Colección Jumex + Fred Sandback" is one of the opening exhibitions of the brand new Museo Jumex. Fundación Jumex's director Patrick Charpenel selected over fifty pieces from the Jumex Collection as well as seven works by American artist Fred Sandback (1947–2003) to present in gallery 3.
"This curatorial project presents a group exhibition and solo show in the same place and at the same time. Taking into account the possibilities of concepts such as the theory of multiple or parallel universes formulated by quantum physicist Hugh Everett (1930-1982)." -Fundación Jumex Arte Contemporáneo press kit .
The exhibition introduced some of the Jumex collection to those who hadn't made the trek to Ecatepec to see it at the Jumex juice factory where it was previously housed. The brand new David Chipperfield designed Museum was a great place to show it off. The show was comprised of many international heavy weights whose work was instantly recognizable, contemporary International and Mexican artists and Sandback's work woven throughout. The mix created a playful display, a large cabinet of curiosities of sorts. One could approach a work that could be of any format and try to figure it out or just enjoy its color, shape, beauty or strangeness.
As sleek as the museum is, there was a very relaxed feel to the exhibition. It was as if one were walking through a park or a playground, taking in the scenery and occasionally interacting on a swing-set or sitting on a bench to think, observe or read. People were playing with Gabriel Orozco's holeless oval pool table, ("Carambole with Pendulum") while Maurizio Cattelan's double bicycle installation ("Dynamo Secession", 1997) was almost inviting people to sit and pedal to light up the bulb. Damien Hirst's encased formaldehyde cow head was casually sitting on the floor and Andy Warhol's small screenprint of Jackie Kennedy hung in an unassuming manner, blink and you might miss it. The Fischli and Weiss photographs of balanced household objects (Equilibres, 1984-1986) could be a reason to stand in the hallway for hours trying to take each one in, and of course everyone wanted a selfie in the reflection of Donald Judd's "Amber Stack".
In the midst of all that, Sandback's sculptures, rounded out the space, some were in the form of thread hanging from the ceiling, the lines framing some viewpoints and blending in with the museum's architecture. They produced a sort of uniformity throughout hte exhibition, linking everything together. Their simplicity creating a balance in the smorgasbord of curiosities.
