Brands Behaving Badly
I'm a Volkswagen guy. My first three cars were used VWs. The first new car I ever bought was a Jetta. And I currently own two members of the family: an Audi and a vintage Bug.
But I'm also a brand guy. I believe brands should stand for something. I read product labels and check the fine print and ask questions. I make virtually every buying decision based on whether or not I like a company's purpose and quality, and I'll shift my loyalties when I feel a company's values don't reflect my own. If I have one bad experience with a brand at any touchpoint, I'll probably give them another chance to make good. More than one bad experience, however, and not only will that affect future purchases, but I'll talk about it with friends and family.
Volkswagen is a company many people are talking about these days. Volkswagen promised millions of drivers around the world German engineering and what they were actually selling were defeat devices. Fifty years of building one of the world's most powerful brands gone in the amount of time it takes for a group of people to make the astonishing decision to deceive consumers and regulators.
On a product level, Volkswagen will correct the software issue and begin the process of altering 11 million cars. That's the easy part. On a brand level, however, the damage will last much longer, and here's why: this is a colossal failure in corporate social responsibility. First, as much as I'm a fan of their cars, their advertising, and their iconoclastic personality, Volkswagen has never truly connected with me as a company overly concerned with being a good citizen. And that's okay. I love their products, I love their dedication to design, I feel good driving their cars. That was enough. But in recent years they've made the environment a focus of their sustainability efforts. And with a fleet of diesel cars that were considered best in class for low emissions and high performance, they had the perfect marketing advantage. Until it all turned out to be false.
To borrow a headline from one of their most well-known ads, this is truly a lemon for VW. And it was all avoidable. The reality is, corporate social responsibility isn't a tricky thing to pull off. One of our clients has been running the same program for over 20 years and has positively impacted billions of kids in 80 countries. Other companies like TOMS Shoes based their entire business model on social responsibility. Rarer still, some firms prove their dedication to social responsibility every day by the products they sell, they way they treat employees, and even how the CEO gets paid. I'm talking about Costco.
I'm following the VW story closer than most because CarrotNewYork is in the business of helping companies launch successful CSR campaigns through education. In the months ahead, this blog will take a look at the companies who successfully leverage corporate social responsibility, and explore the ways CSR can help business, empower individuals, and have a positive impact on entire communities. I hope you'll follow along.

Kilifi, Garissa to benefit from Sh100m solar power project
Tuesday April 16 2019
An ambitious project by the national government to provide solar energy and cash transfers to over a million Kenyans in 47 counties has kicked off with pilot projects in Kilifi and Garissa counties.
The programme dubbed Mwangaza Mashinani is being funded by the Swedish government and Unicef and its aim is to ensure that most vulnerable people in the country are not left behind as homes are connected to solar power.
The Swedish government has donated Sh100 million to implement a pilot project in Kilifi and Garissa counties, which are the first beneficiaries.
On Monday, the project was launched in Kilifi and is expected to be fully implemented in a year's time.
Swedish Ambassador to Kenya Anna Jardfelt, who witnessed the launch, said the electricity from the project is meant to reach to the poorest communities.
She spoke in Bamba after touring some of the villages which will benefit from the project. She said the long selection process aimed at ensuring that they reach out to the poorest people.
"We were looking at the number of households in the community, so there were a number of criteria. It took a long time before we could identify these two counties but together with Unicef we managed,'' she said.
Ms Jardfelt said in the pilot phase, 1,500 households from the two counties are set to benefit.
"We are today launching the project but in one year we will be evaluating to see how it has worked out. If it succeeds we will also reach out to other counties,'' she said.
She said if the project is successful, the Swedish government will look into how children who go to school can benefit so that they can do their households chores and also to have time to do their homework with solar lighting.
Kilifi Deputy Governor Gideon Saburi and his Garissa counterpart Abdi Dagane witnessed the launch and later signed an MoU on the project.
Mr Saburi said as a county, they are delighted with the project as the targeted area is a remote one which never expected such kind of development.
"It may not look like a big thing but for the locals, this is a big step forward," he said.
In Kilifi County, over 30,000 people will benefit from the Mwangaza Mashinani project.

You Can't Find TIME
You can find your keys, you can find your car in a parking lot and you can even find your location on GPS. You cannot however find TIME. Time is a constant; it is always moving, changing and passing. You have to make time; time to care for others and time to care for yourself. The best way to show someone you love them is to take the time to care for yourself. This assures you will be their when it matters. Really there; not too exhausted to play or too busy to listen.
When my older sister had her first child, I was honored to get to live with her as her husband was in the military. Timothy was so small, so adorable and had a great pair of lungs. As I was rocking him late one night, I reached over and read a card that was lying nearby. It read
Rocking My Baby – Author Unknown
Cleaning And Scrubbing
Can Wait
Till Tomorrow…
For Babies Grow Up
We've Learned
To Our Sorrow…
So Quiet Down
Dust Go To
I'm Rocking
My Baby,
And Babies
Don't Keep
I pondered those words. My sister was not the sentimental kind but had, for some reason, found meaning in this congratulatory card.
As I look back over the past 18 years. The best memories were formed when I made the time; the time to forget all about the disability and just hang out as a family. As a mom of a special needs child, I needed those words imprinted on my brain. I had to find the time for me, to be present for my child. It was so easy to give up precious sleep to research or worry. It was so easy to dive into each and every event that was available to help assure I was doing all I can
Do you know that you do not have to use every last therapy visit allotted by your health insurance. It took me some time to realize that it was of little use to bring Mel to a visit when there were no clear goals. And an even better idea, take the holiday off. One or two visits will really not make a difference 10 years down the road. Mel's therapists were wonderful and I cherish most the first one who told me to take Christmas off. In fact, she told me to take 2 weeks off and go do something just to have fun.

I'll just go ahead and warn you this is a very photo saturated post! I don't shoot seniors often but when I do…oh man I love it! And that typically results in a crazy amount of photos that I can't narrow down for a blog post so I apologize!
I shot Katelyn's sisters wedding and i'm so happy that they contacted me to do her senior pictures! How gorgeous is she?! Total pro in front of the camera! I can't wait to do some more photos of her this fall.

The Kensington Ballet School
ballet school for children aged from 15 months through
to graded RAD syllabus classes
We Are
Set-up by Karen Lowe, the ballet school caters for children aged from 15 months through graded RAD syllabus classes. We provide a fun but structured introduction to the joys of dance.
Our classes are predominantly located in West London, with venues in Kensington, Chelsea, Knightsbridge, Belgravia, Fulham, Notting Hill, Holland Park and Islington.
Parents are encouraged to participate with their children in the mum's and baby's class, and subsequently to watch their progress as they move through the age-groups. There is a strong emphasis on theatrical performance from Karen's team who are all classically trained ballerinas and teachers who actively perform and demonstrate with the children.
The classes are conducted to a mixture of classical and children's music to help stimulate imagination, develop rhythm and encourage musicality. Exercises and storytelling help the pupils to learn the appropriate steps for their ages in an organised, creative atmosphere. The sessions further encourage balance and co-ordination whilst improving the child's self-confidence.
The Kensington Ballet School's priority is always that the children enjoy and look forward to their classes as an outlet to self-expression through movement and dance whilst providing a disciplined backdrop to participate in a group environment with other children.
Karen Lowe (RAD P.D.T.D)
A classically trained ballerina and teacher, Karen started dancing at the age of 18 months and subsequently attended the "Nesta Brooking School of Ballet".
She was awarded a Cecchetti scholarship at the age of eleven which enabled her to study with prestigious teachers from the "Royal Ballet School". She then furthered her knowledge at the "Arts Educational Schools", London.
Karen has performed professionally as a solo artiste with various ballet companies in London and Europe, dancing in roles such as the pas de quatre in "Swan Lake" and Clara in "Nutcracker". She has also performed in West End musicals including "Phantom of the Opera" at Her Majesty's Theatre, London playing the role of Meg Giry.
Thereafter she taught at schools such as Newton Prep, Eaton Square and Young England Kindergarten prior to setting up the "Kensington Ballet School". Karen is a fully qualified Royal Academy of Dance teacher having taken the "Professional Dancers' Teaching Diploma" at their Battersea headquarters.

Sen. Rand Paul's (R-Ky.) talking filibuster against John Brennan's nomination as CIA director ended after nearly early 13 hours.
"I would go for another 12 hours to try to break Strom Thurmond's record, but I've discovered that there are some limits to filibustering and I'm going to have to go take care of one of those in a few minutes here," Paul said as he ended his marathon speech.
Paul began speaking just before noon Wednesday on the Senate floor in opposition to Brennan's nomination, saying that he planned to speak "for the next few hours" in a rare talking filibuster.
Watch live video from the Senate floor below:
Paul, who strongly opposes the Brennan nomination and the Obama administration's use of unmanned aerial drones, became the first senator to make use of the procedural tactic in more than two years and the first to do so since the Senate approved a bipartisan rules reform package in January.
Paul has since been joined in his symbolic effort by Republican Sens. Mike Lee (Utah), Ted Cruz (Tex.), Jerry Moran (Kan.), Marco Rubio (Fla.), Saxby Chambliss (Ga.) and Pat Toomey (Pa.). He has also gotten some bipartisan support from Democratic Sen. Ron Wyden (Ore.). Sen. Mark Kirk (R-Ill.) brought Paul an apple and a thermos of tea -- a possible reference to the film Mr. Smith Goes to Washington, in which Jimmy Stewart brings out similar provisions.

Hungarian football is far from its golden age for sure, but one thing is for sure: there are some extraordinary moments in every season, which would be acknowledged in the strongest leagues around the world as well.
This was not otherwise in the autumn either. 24.hu collected some decent volleys from the repertoire of the Hungarian Football League this year.
Roland Varga's lob, Gameweek 2
The striker of Ferencváros had a blow at the beginning of the season, scoring four goals in the first three matches. One against MTK was especially beautiful:
Krisztián Tamás' screamer, Gameweek 4
Although Tamás has not got too many minutes this season, six matches were enough for him to score this beauty against Debrecen (DVSC):
Gergő Loverencsics's wonder goal, Gameweek 7
He is one of the most reliable players of Ferencváros in both parts of the pitch. He scored from outside of the box (22m) against MOL Vidi FC:
Dániel Nagy's clever bend, Gameweek 8
This one against DVSC would definitely fit into any of the best leagues' summary for sure!
Máté Pátkai's bend, Gameweek 11
Similarly to the one above, Pátkai noticed the chance well and bent the ball to the up left corner. Gábor Király, goalkeeper of FC Haladás, had no chance:
Ádám Bódi's corner, Gameweek 11
He is well-known for is shooting ability, but this one is extraordinary by his standards as well. He scored a winner against Pask, directly from a corner in the 93rd minute:
János Hegedűs from his own side of the pitch, Gameweek 11
Gameweek 11 was definitely the round of wonder goals. Hegedűs scored from 60 meters, Dénes Dibusz, goalkeeper of Ferencváros, could not get back into goal in time. The goal was decisive, he won the match for Puskás Academy:
Mátyás Tajti's bicycle kick, Gameweek 13
Everyone was keen on seeing him coming home from Spain and even though he failed to impress in the beginning, he soon showed why Barcelona signed him as a youth player a few years ago. This one was his first in the jersey of Diósgyőr, it could not have been better:
Florent Hasani's screamer, Gameweek 14
It is hard to decide whether the autumn was good for Hasani or not. He had great and miserable matches as well. However, his first goal in Diósgyőr was on to remember as well. He was not really bothered by the defenders of Debrecen, so he decided to fire from 24 meters. Here's the result:
Tamás Kiss' goal, Gameweek 15
The 18-year-old is surely one of the greatest talents in Hungarian football currently. He proved himself against Haladás:

france would be SNAKES!
just like the evil serpent, they can't be trusted. although the hissing would be the air escaping from their deflated party balloons once they get eliminated early.
south africa would be TIGER CUB!
cute, tugs on everyone's heart strings but will get mauled by the cup's bigger cats.
argentina would be IMPALA!
they're graceful, cover vast distances and can dominate the african terrain.
south korea would be PORCUPINE!
they're small but sharp and they can be quite prickly if you try to mess with them.
england would be RABBITS!
obvious really. often get caught in the headlights and freeze on big occasions.
germany would be RHINO!
large, heavy-built animal with thick skin and a deadly weapon up front. dangerous to get in their way once they start charging.
japan would be GAZELLE!
elegant, nimble and quick. but ultimately, they are going to get chased down and mauled.
italy would be CROCODILE!
ancient, snappy and bad-tempered. quite leathery. overused tear ducts.
brazil would be LIONS!
king of the world cup jungle. do they have the bite to win this time around?
portugal would be CHEETAH!
graceful and fast but not great climbers and as the name suggests, thanks to ronaldo, not the most sporting of opponents.
spain would be GREAT WHITE SHARK!
easily the most dangerous predator, can strike quickly and will feel right at home in south africa.
malaysia would be.... *wink wink*
ok , i didn't cover all the countries. 32 altogether, right? right? haha. how much DON'T i know about the FIFA world cup?
"hari ni ade match tak?" i asked mr. khairul.
"laa....hari-hari la ade match." he answered, lazily - knowing how blur his wife is about world cup matches.
don't think i'm THAT ignorant, though. hey, i KNOW football ok. guys in tight t's and shorts chasing after an adidas ball across the field. (at least gimme credit la for knowing that the ball is a new design kan? haha) and i do get excited over near-hits and misses at the goal post. i may not know the entire rules and regulations but i do know the meaning of the yellow and red card.
i don't HATE football (like i hate wrestling, for example), i'm just not into it.
so, yesterday for the first time, in a LONG time - i actually sat down and watched an entire match with mr. khairul. the japan - cameroon game.
he was explaining, telling me about this player and that player. i don't know names, and will never remember them anyway - so what he did was just giving description, "yang jambul tu..." or "yang blonde tu terrer.."
this really reminds me of my mak. my mak, the football fan. i don't know names back then too, so she would be giving nicknames to the players like kayu balak for michael ballack, for example. and we would just laugh about it. oh, she KNEW the players really well. who's who to watch and what's goin on too.
most of the time, into it or not, i just enjoyed watching a football match with mak just knowing that she enjoyed telling us about the game. it's just one of the many ways to spend great fun times with mak. miss her so much.
oh, i didn't know who's supposed to be better than who, but by the end of the japan -cameroon game, i was just glad that an asian team won. it was fun cheering for whichever team had the ball closest to the goal post. haha. sape-sape je la asal ade action and suspense!
besides, cuddling up together on the couch with my "big pillow" was a fantastic way to spend the evening...

My name is Zhihao Li (Chinese: 李志浩, Pronunciation: G-How Lee). I am a software engineer at Magic Leap, working on all kinds of cool stuff on AR/Deep Learning/HCI. I graduated from Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) with a Master of Science degree in Computer Science. The program is one of the most competitive programs (<5% admission rate!). Before that, I obtained my bachelor's degree in Software Engineering from Tongji University, China.
I am a passionate machine learning and computer vision practitioner and researcher. I also studied neuroscience and cognitive science in college. But I believe computers have their own mechanisms to achieve intelligence, not necessarily the same as humans'.
Meanwhile, as a software engineer, I do all kinds of programming/coding, from web front-end, iOS Apps to database and robot platforms. For more, please see my Linkedin Profile.
This blog is a summary of my learning process. It also serves the purpose of helping people with similar issues as I had. I wish this blog could witness every step I take towards becoming a giant, and help many others to grow and make progress with me.
TAC stands for Tongji Apple Club. This is an amazing student developer organisation. As a key member, I was involved into many projects' planning and development. Being able to work with those talented and brilliant guys is the luckiest thing ever.
At a very young age, I worked at QTV(Qingdao Television Station) as a Kids Channel host. In college, I hosted several major celebrations. Meanwhile, I am the champion of Praise China Langsong Contest.
Besides coding, I am a freelance writer and blogger, being featured on the front page of Baidu Space for several times, and often invited to write for magazines.

By Oscar M. Baker
The good news is found in such verses as 2 Cor. 5:19; I Tim. 1:15 and Eph. 1:7. However, we have to deal with this subject because of that rebellious nature that's in us, and we always will have that trouble until resurrection. That's a continual fight in life, and we have to put up with it and face it. We can't stick our head in the sand and say it doesn't exist. And so we just can't overlook sin and pass it by as if it wasn't anything. It must be accounted for as far as our reward is concerned---not as our salvation, but as our reward.
PEDIGREE OF SIN, James 1:13-15: "Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God; for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth He any man: But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed. Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin…". So sin is the offspring of lust. Lust can be any desire, and any desire that is outside the will of God is of our flesh and is therefore lust, no difference how respectable in our society. When we give place to that, it brings forth sin, "…and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death." So there is a good picture of what we're speaking of.
DEFINITION OF SIN: sin is lawless, a negative, something outside the law (I John 3:4). Sin is unrighteousness, that which is not right (I John 5:17). Whatsoever is not of faith is sin (Rom. 14:23). All negative, it's an intruder, not a positive thing in God's creation, and God did not create it!
THREE ASPECTS OF SIN: (1) Vice, a sin against our own nature, has to do with the person, against his own self as that's where it originates and works. (2) Crime (closely related to vice) against society at large. (3) Probably the worst aspect is the 3rd---against the righteous will and holy love of God. This is sin in its fullest extent.
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SIN & SINS: Sins are the fruit of sin, sin is the root. Christ died unto sin once (Rom. 6:10). He offered one sacrifice forever. (Heb. 10:12).
REDEMPTION: Redemption is needed for this sin problem, sold unto sin. Redemption means to buy back, a deliverance, an exodus. When

Let go of the notion that life "should" be a certain way, and allow yourself to think WAY OUTSIDE OF THE BOX. Seek a new perspective, and challenge yourself to apply this information to your daily life.

BRUSSELS, March 9 (Reuters) - European Finance ministers are set to add next week The Bahamas, the U.S. Virgin Islands and Saint Kitts and Nevis to an EU list of jurisdictions that are deemed to facilitate tax avoidance, a document seen by Reuters says.
The document, which is expected to be approved by EU finance ministers in a regular meeting on Tuesday, also adds Anguilla, The British Virgin Islands, Dominica and Antigua and Barbuda to a so-called grey list of jurisdictions which do not respect EU anti-tax avoidance standards but have committed to change their practices.

Expert Instruction
Ed Katz - Entrepreneur, Inventor, Author, Teacher
"For all his success and achievements . . . , Ed Katz is most passionate about teaching. A natural behind the podium, Katz receives rave reviews as keynote speaker, guest lecturer, and trainer for his fresh enthusiasm and his ability to motivate and inspire an audience. Despite what would seem to be a painfully dry subject, a session with Ed Katz is truly an unforgettable experience."
Ed Katz has changed the way businesses move. He realized early on that office moving is a service; give the customer superior service and they'll be back. Minimize the disruption, damage, and downtime normally associated with moving -- let them stay in business -- and moving becomes a painless experience.
His training programs offered through the International Office Moving Institute (IOMI®) help moving companies, furniture dealers, project managers, and inhouse move crews develop or improve their service.
Ed Katz has spent more than 35 years listening to customers and developing methods and tools to either minimize moving complaints or eliminate them altogether. Better still, he's willing to share what he has learned.
When Ed Katz founded Peachtree Movers in Atlanta, GA, he moved furniture like every other mover. And heard the same complaints. Moving means packing and unpacking and everyone hates it. Besides the drudgery and inevitable lost and mixed-up files, productivity comes to a complete standstill. The customer is out of business. To add insult to injury, the mover damages walls, floors, and furniture getting to the truck. Haphazardly stacked on the moving van, many items such as glass, framed art work, and computers undergo a beating in transit and emerge at the new location marred or broken, sometimes worse. After the move, the customer feels as battered as his or her belongings.
But Ed Katz took customer complaints seriously and began developing methods and tools to eliminate or minimize the grievances. To minimize damage, Katz devised protection systems for building surfaces and sensitive electronic equipment. To minimize office disruption, he developed moving methods that allow customers access to records and files right up to the time they're rolled out the door. To his customers' delight, Katz began moving the contents in the furniture rather than the contents and the furniture, and thus the "boxless" move was born. By virtually eliminating the costly downtime of packing, his customers stayed in business and loved it.
Moving "boxless", using his patented Spider Crane® and Space Gobblers combination, gave companies planning a move a green-tech option never before available. Katz realized that his unlikely sounding devices were not only smart for business by saving customers time and money but the process is environmentally-friendly, with fewer truck loads burning less gas and less packing materials thrown away after the move.
In 2008, Katz published the second edition of his popular Office Moving for Movers. Move Your Business (Without Becoming A Moving Target) was published in 2004, and in 2000, Katz produced Moving Computers, his first self-paced, multimedia training CD.
As a first-time author, Katz was chosen Distinguished Author of the Year for 1999 by the International Facility Management Association (IFMA) for Commercial Relocation: A Comprehensive Guide for Industry Professionals & Service Buyers.
In 1996, Peachtree Movers was chosen "Number 1" in both updating the industry and customer satisfaction by the National Moving and Storage Association. Shortly before Katz sold Peachtree Movers in 2000, it received the Consumer's Choice Award for Best Office Mover in Atlanta.
His methods, techniques, and inventions have been featured in numerous trade journals, business magazines, and the Wall Street Journal. Katz's innovations have brought him international recognition, and the unofficial title of guru of office moves.
He holds a master's degree in urban renewal and city planning from the University of Pittsburgh and spent four years as a Wall Street stock broker and investment counselor before moving to Atlanta to sell commercial real estate. It was the horror stories of building landlords that introduced him to office moving.

UNIQUENESS IS a key virtue in the 21st century. Instead of conforming to a uniform standard of beauty, people customize their makeup, clothing, and hairstyle to find the most flattering choice for themselves. The dominant narrative from the past often associates a fashionista with luxury goods; however, when you slip on a luxurious garment, what becomes conspicuous is not "you," but what you wear. For this reason, "personal color," which makes you stand out without splurging or being tonish, has been on the constant rise. Personal color is the color tone that coordinates with individuals' inherent image. Skin tone, pupil color, and hair color: these are all factors that determine one's personal color. As it is "inherent," one can be immune to capricious vogue when adorning oneself based on his or her personal color.
Like a fingerprint or an iris, personal color is a unique attribute of an individual and it exists in a variety of types. The most typical and universal type is the distinction between warm and cool tone. The warm tone matches with yellow, golden, or peachy undertones and the cool tone matches with blue, red, or pink undertones. You can also categorize personal color into a seasonal color analysis, which classifies these two tones into four seasons: warm tone into spring and autumn, and cool tone into summer and winter.
You can refer to the personal color analysis in not only determining your makeup, but also your attire and accessories. This is the beauty of personal color: It allows you to become one of a kind by providing the means to customize your style. So why not dip your toe into the trend and discover your individuality?

What it means to take your yoga off the mat
Hatha yoga means the yoking, or joining of the sun (ha) and moon (tha) - essentially finding the balance of opposing energies. Yoga sutra 11.46 states that our seat should be steady and joyful - Sthira (solid, strong, firm) Sukham (pleasing, easy, relaxed, comfortable) Asanam (seat).
Yoga is embracing the paradoxes of life:
Be optimistic + practice defensive pessimism (visualize + prepare for the worst)
Be happy with where you are + always strive for growth and evolving into someone different
10X your actions + take baby steps
Trust your own wisdom + always be a student
Try, work hard, apply effort + surrender, let go
Recognize you're already perfect + never be satisfied and realize there's always room for improvement
Practice towards a goal + be detached to the outcome
According to Tantric philosophy one of the attributes of consciousness is spanda - or pulsation. It's the back and forth between opposites that brings us into balance. "Balanced" living is being able to see-saw the poles of life to find "just right" in the middle.
We all have tendencies towards one side of the spectrum - we either have more sun energy which is more masculine, active, aggressive and structured or we have more of the moon energy which is more feminine, fluid, receptive and passive.
If you've got more sun energy you're likely high achieving, mentally stimulated, and physically active. You're a go-getter who works hard and strives for constant improvement.
If you've got more moon energy you're chilled-out, you go with the flow, and have a more relaxed, passive nature.
While we want to embrace our unique qualities, we also want to counterbalance with the opposing energy. (hence the paradox again)
How do we bring the balance of opposites into our daily life?
Live in rhythm.
If we're always going, we'll eventually peter out. If we never get off our ass, we'll always be stuck. If we find a pulsation between being active and passive, work and rest, and structure and flow we will be in a dynamic balance that allows us to be vibrantly healthy.
Living in rhythm is stepping into alignment with nature's pulsation of energy moving up and down. When we sync up with this flow of life we bring all of our bodily systems into harmony - in body, mind and spirit.
Nature determines when energy should go up and when it should go down. We are diurnal creatures highly influenced by the natural world - whether we recognize it or not. Circadian science is now proving what ancient seers knew all along. The sooner we surrender to this flow of life the better off we'll be.
This means we rise and fall with the sun. We fully express and withdraw with the moon. We bloom and dissolve with the seasons.
When we do we become more integrated with the whole and more integrated within ourselves.
In Align and Thrive we learn how to align with these cycles of energy so that we can experience thrive. It's simple but not always easy since the majority of our culture is completely disconnected with these cycles. But when you connect with a community who is actively aligning to their personal values and to the greater rhythms of nature you get pulled into balanced living simply by being a part of the tribe. It's effective, it's efficient and it's deeply rewarding. Your body begins to flourish once you've created the conditions and the environment for self-healing to take place.

A gale force wind that briefly passed through Ingwelala during the early evening of 31 December raised havoc in the veld. Several large trees were either literally snapped off at the trunk or uprooted.
This included iconic Marula and Leadwood trees in the landscape, so sad to see.
This massive leadwood (Combretum Imberbe), pictured on the right, was uprooted at the lay-bye near Farmhouse Crossing. This tree provided fantastic shade when viewing the watering hole in the river.
The Nhlaralumi River flowed strongly on 24 December, for several hours vehicles could not cross the causeway.
During this event Ingwelala received only 15mm of rain, but in the catchment in the southern Timbavati some camps reported up to 150mm of rain falling in the same period.
This is an example of a large marula (Sclerocarya birrea), where the tree trunk is snapped off. The wind destroyed numerous large marula trees.
The above picture is of interest as it shows the hollow centre of the marula trunk. I have noticed over time that marula trees appear to have a hollow centre. However, I am unable to find much literature on this.
Another large marula tree blown over at Old Farmhouse, one less resting place for a leopard!

Since the Padstow show I've been really busy working on another new design (coming soon!!!!), so I'm a bit behind with publishing this post. Following the introduction of my shoulder bag design, I've recently completed this commission for two contrasting handbags; one in a fabulous 60s inspired print, the other in quality linen. The request was for one 'bright handbag', with contrasting orange fabric for the handles and lining, the other in black and white for smart occasions.
Same bag, same practicality but completely different looks!
All the photos and details can be found on the Shoulder Bags by Ellie page.

This should also show what the color of original 10ER paint (at that time) was.
I don't think I will install it on any of my machines since it is new old stock and has never been installed. Probably the only one in this condition that exists.

Big Corporate Borrowing Stimulates Growth
After four weeks averaging more than $50 billion per seven-day period, new corporate bond issues took a breather last week with slightly less than $13 billion of new paper. Even though borrowing was light, some of it should give the economy a little nudge. Here are a few of the highlights.
Honda subsidiary American Honda Finance rolled out a note sale totaling $2.75 billion and consisting of three-year floating rate, three-year 1.125% and five-year 2.125% paper. The shelf registration filing stated that proceeds would be used "to repay other existing indebtedness, to acquire retail loans or retail leases and provide wholesale flooring and commercial loans or for other general corporate purposes." That's a lot of cars, motorcycles, and other Honda machines, assuming most of the money finds its way to lease or purchase financing.
IntercontinentalExchange listed a $1.4 billion offering split into five-year 2.5% and 10-year 4% tranches. The money is being used as part of the financing for ICE's acquisition of NYSE Euronext.
TransCanada piped in $1.25 billion of new cash split between 10-year 3.75% and 30-year 5% note issues. The money will pay down short-term debt that was used to fund the capital program. The SEC filing lists $2.9 billion of notes payable as of June 30, as well as nearly $1.5 billion of long-term debt due over the next year.
Healthcare Realty Trust leased $400 million with a 10-year 4.5% note sale. According to the company press release, the money will be used "to repay outstanding indebtedness under its unsecured line of credit and for general corporate purposes, including investing in health care and seniors housing properties."
Magellan Midstream opened the valves on a $300 million cash pipeline with the sale of 30-year 5.15% paper. The money will pay down a revolving credit facility and capital expenditures.
Although this was a light week for debt issues, it's good to see some borrowing that should lead to economic activity. New vehicle sales, rebuilding cash used for a capital program, real-estate investment, and capital expenditures should all give the economy a little shot in the arm.

While not directly related to my dissertation research, the assumption that public blogging and tweeting is a positive higher education experience is situated in an acceptance of digital participatory cultures. New behaviors and activities are emerging from (and are facilitated by) these cultures – all of which are accompanied by pedagogical opportunities. I've created some content around some of these behaviors that might be of help to faculty who are just beginning to explore digital participatory practices.

Annotation is metadata, typically a comment, image, symbol, hypertext, or similar juxtaposed with but identifiably separate from the primary material. Any sort of media can be annotated, including but not limited to text, image, video, or audio recording. As in analogue contexts, digital annotations allow readers to engage or connect with content as well as with other people who have annotated the same piece. However, unlike paper-based content, digital annotation platforms allow many individuals to annotate the same document synchronously and asynchronously, increasing capacity for social interaction and learning.
When students annotate, they are making active connections between the content and their own thoughts. Furthermore, when students read others' annotations, it allows them to access different perspectives, understand others as audience, and to work towards a collaborative interpretation of the material. There are many digital annotations platforms available for educational use, each with a different feature profile. Hypothes.is is one example of a free, open source option that supports multimodal, public and private group annotation of web documents, but here is a recent list (2016) of digital platforms for group annotation developed by New York University Office of Educational Technology.
There are many ways to incorporate digital annotation into your classroom, in part because there are so many reasons to annotate web-based documents. The following ideas are adapted from Jeremy Dean's blog post, Back to school with annotation: Ten ways to annotate with students. According to Dean, digital annotation can be used effectively to:
- Develop an "inline Wikipedia." Some assigned texts are filled with challenging vocabulary and less-than-common references; shared annotation space offers an opportunity for students to crowdsource the research necessary to understand the material. The presence of a peer audience-in-need increases the authenticity of the task and makes finding accurate information more meaningful for students as they work.
- Ask questions. Having students highlight passages or drop question marks in the margins can be enough to guide instructors towards understanding what they need to discuss in more detail. Students can also be invited to attempt to answer each other's questions.
- Engage in meta-analysis. Annotation assignments can extend beyond the content of the piece to how the piece was constructed, including but not limited to the author's use of language, argument, images, or hypertext. As such, annotation can be the first step in guiding students through reflection on and assessment of good writing and their own writing.
- Create multimedia projects. Some digital annotation platforms allow for the incorporation of images, animated gifs, or video into other types of annotations to add an additional layer of argument or expression to the main text.

The definition of creating in the context of digitally participatory cultures is straightforward; like everywhere else, to create on the web means to bring something into existence. According to Henry Jenkins and colleagues in their landmark Confronting the Challenges of Participatory Culture, one of the most striking characteristics of the read-write web is its low barriers to artistic expression and support for creating and sharing creations with others. Furthermore, the affordances of the digital world makes creating and disseminating professional or near-professional quality products easier for learners of all skill levels.
The purpose of the Universal Design for Learning (UDL) framework is to support the development of flexible curricular and instructional approaches that provide all learners with the dispositions required to engage in fulfilling, strategic, and productive lifelong learning. Among other recommendations for diversifying instructional strategies, the framework recommends the encouragement of multimodal expression as a means of enabling students to deepen and diversify their approaches to course material.
Connected learning is one of several emerging digital pedagogies that forefronts personalized, holistic approaches to education for the purpose of driving educational inclusiveness, student engagement, and deeper learning. One of the six fundamental design principles of connected learning is "production-centered," reminding educators to design learning experiences that allow students to learn through making things that are concrete and meaningful to them. When UDL and connected learning are combined in digital environments, digital makes (a.k.a. creative makes, daily creates, or daily makes) emerge as a means to help students sharpen digital literacies, foster creativity, and manifest concrete connections across contexts, concepts, space, and time.
Digital makes are short (designed to last 15-20 minutes), frequent assignments (daily or weekly) that help get students practice multimodal expressivity while also enhancing their digital technical skills and engaging them with course concepts. Digital makes are typically aggregated and posted on the web for others to consider, be inspired by, and comment on. Here are two riffs on the digital make worth considering.
- The Daily Create. DS106, a digital storytelling course at the University of Mary Washington, offers the daily create as "a space for regular practice of spontaneous creativity." These daily tasks challenge students to answer an imagination-stirring question through the use of a digital tool (Example: Design a soundtrack for a woodland nymph dancing through the woods. Other examples can be found here). In this case, creative expression and digital fluency are both directly connected to the goals of the course. Anyone can suggest an idea for a daily create through a form on the website.
- The Creative Make. Graduate students enrolled in Virginia Commonwealth University's Collaborative Curiosity: Designing Community Engaged Research are asked to find or create images and videos to help them reflect on some of the abstract concepts of the course (e.g. what does community look like?). The students embed the image or video into a blog post and briefly explain their creative choice in terms of the assigned prompt. These assignments are aggregated and posted on the course website to inspire and inform group discussion through the week.
A combination of the terms "crowd" and "outsourcing," crowdsourcing originated in the business fields as the practice of obtaining solutions, ideas, or content through the solicitation of a loosely-defined, large group of people rather than small groups of known or "expert" sources. In digital participatory cultures, activities identified as "crowdsourcing" often vary in quality along a spectrum of contributory, collaborative, and co-creative activities that are better defined in terms of "open authority."
Lori Byrd Phillips' work on open authority takes into account the different ways in which learners can engage in collective participation. Crowdsourcing is the most passive form of engagement and includes activities such as voting or transcribing. Community sourcing is more collaborative and involves more commitment from participants. Community sourcing activities might include community blogging, ongoing dialogue, or resource sharing. For example, Wikipedia is more accurately identified as a "community sourced" than "crowdsourced" project. However, the richest forms of open authority may be considered participatory interpretation, or projects in which experts and community members collaborate through every stage from conceptualization to implementation to conclusion.
There are many ways to incorporate crowdsourcing, community sourcing, and participatory interpretation into your classroom. Here are some examples that other instructors have found useful.
- Crowdsourced Notetaking. Consider inviting students to take notes together within Google Docs or similar collaborative writing platforms. Research suggests the final notes will be more complete and accurate than those students take on their own. Furthermore, if collective notes are open for the instructor to review, they provide insights into student understanding that can guide the instructor's next move.
- Community Sourcing Resources. Consider inviting students to search for, curate, and contribute web-based documents or materials to a community collection or database. Diigo or other social bookmarking platforms provide convenient spaces to store, organize, and critique contributions. Alternatively, students can contribute resources (in the form of annotated bibliography entries, for example) through an online form (e.g. Google Forms) that populates a spreadsheet that is shared with the class.
- Participatory Syllabus. Consider inviting students to help you design the course syllabus by placing it in a wiki for which all students have authorship. Some structure is helpful (sharing a blank slate typically results in blank stares), but a "choose your own adventure" approach, with the opportunities for students and instructors to revisit and rewrite along the way, can lead to a more collaborative approach to deciding what is important to learn.

Curation is the selection, acquisition, contextualization, and presentation of content for one or more audiences. The skills and dispositions related to curation are considered even more important in the context of data-saturated digital environments, where a variety of audiences may need more assistance in sifting through and making meaning from the available information.
Important aspects of content curation include collection, organization, critiquing, remixing, and presentation. Good curators are perceived as trustworthy and consistently helpful by their audiences. They create efficient workflows around finding the latest, most interesting, relevant, and trustworthy information. Their collections balance their own tastes with the needs and interests of their audiences. Furthermore, these collections transcend the meaning of the original pieces, allowing consumers to explore why the pieces have been chosen or connected in the ways in which they have.
There are many ways to help students practice acts of curation. Here are some that have been described by other instructors.
- Make a timeline. Have students organize content with a digital timeline making platform. Timeline js is just one of many digital platforms available. The purpose of making a timeline is not only to improve student understanding of the content, but also to have students distill the available information to the key components required to illustrate themes or trends.
- Tell a story. Digital platforms such as Storify allow students to curate a variety of social media, web-based documents, and their own narration to tell a story. In one case, a student used Storify to create a full length digital essay on – of all things – curation.
- Create a database. Have students collectively or independently curate web-based documents on any subject and organize them using a combination of hashtags, categories, and tags. Social bookmarking sites such as Diigo offer opportunities to annotate and organize documents in group or personal, public or private settings. Pinterest offers similar organizational capability with emphasis on image-based documents.
- Mash it up. If students are having difficulties making connections across disciplines or contexts, consider having them practice with mashups: the merging of two or more unrelated pieces of information to form a new message. The propensity to remix is essential to the practice of curation, but also relates to creative problem solving, knowledge transfer and deeper learning.

Photo safaris are digitally-facilitated activities in which learners explore pedagogical themes and their surroundings through photography. Unlike a traditional scavenger hunt where participants search for specific items on a list, photo safaris challenge participants to capture images related to abstract themes. Learners upload their photographs – usually taken with mobile digital devices – with a hashtag to a predetermined digital platform so that pictures can be aggregated and viewed by the group. Photo safaris can last for different lengths of time, but as little as 40 or 50 minutes of photographing can yield excellent results.
Photo safaris draw on constructionist learning theories that suggest students learn better when they interact with abstract or complex course concepts in ways that make them concrete and personally relevant. The experience becomes even richer when students have to verbalize their creative choices for an authentic audience. Digital environments enhance the activity by offering students (1) improved editing capability for an additional layer of creative expression and interpretation and (2) improved sharing and participatory capacity, which leads to greater reach, feedback, and opportunities for interpretive diversity.
The key components to a photo safari are (1) an appropriately abstract pedagogical theme; (2) simple digital devices (camera phones and tablet computers work as well or better than professional camera equipment); (3) a designated picture sharing digital platform and hashtag (Twitter, Flickr, Instagram, and Facebook all work well); and (4) opportunities for students to view and discuss each other's photographs.
Ways to enhance the experience include:
- Knowing the environment. It is not essential (or even desired) for a photo safari group to stick together in one large group or follow a designated trail. However, depending on your location, it might be best for several "leaders" to know the terrain so that the group may optimize the use of their time. Busy urban environments with rapidly changing settings and pockets of urban decay often make interesting venues.
- Considering the "how" as well as the "what." Encourage students to consider the themes in terms of how they take photos (e.g. macro, micro, action, filtered, etc.) as well as content. For example, if the theme is "capturing community," the message may be in color saturation or a vignette border as much as content.
- Making creative choices explicit. When students upload photos to digital platforms, have them offer a brief description of how or why their photo fits the safari theme. They may provide more detail in other settings, but this quick note offers them a reminder so that they can expand on the thought later.
- Making time to view and ask questions about each other's photographs. Looking at each other's photographs is not only fun, but also offers students opportunities to inspire and learn from each other – in terms of techniques and interpretation of the themes.

Trend Report: In These Times Everyone Needs to be a Great Editor/
Cory Ingram
Founder & Creative Director
Identity Atelier
Today's hotel design team needs to have vision and quest to enable thinking like an editor and building incredible brand equity through storytelling, activations and design. Like all creative endeavors, it's all about the meticulous work that goes into making projects come off as totally effortless, with every detail harmonizing with the next. From my experiences, The more of an impression you can leave on a guest, the more likely they are to share those experiences with their networks and come back for more.
Leading with experiences that focus on natural authenticity and that are supported by community-based actions is the best methodology. For instance, the lobby space for Unscripted, a new brand from the Dream Hotel Group in Durham, is a highly activated space. A great example to visualize - - records are playing while serving classic martinis in vintage glassware—all while a live drawing class is taking place. Guests walk into the excitement and are ready to share what is created for them on their social networks. It's all about using all the items in your toolbox to create a dynamic, exciting environment for them respond to.
One example of an editorial approach is to tell narratives that guests can appreciate without a hard explanation. For instance, at The Restoration Hotel in Charleston, South Carolina, a very strong brand narrative of Americana and the concept of Freedom + Travel was created and then those ideas were surrounded with dynamic programming that supported the themes. A great example of this are the curated full scale, gallery-quality exhibitions of things like authentic vintage American flags and religious artifacts that speak to Charleston being named "The Holy City."
Vintage flags were displayed all across property, from farm to table restaurant The Watch, to our retail store The Port Mercantile, to our coffee shop, The Rise. In every outlet, included was a little nugget of narrative and it captivated guests attention, resulting in a flurry of social posts and revenue. With prices ranging from $800 to $25,000, 23 out of the 26 flags on display were sold. A new iteration of the exhibition is being launched this summer.
These kinds of editorially-minded successes require a lot of heavy curation and an obsession with detail. It's more than just implementing on property; today we have to think in terms of all the narrative platforms: social, blog, newsletters, digital, publicity and of course, print, which includes a magazine, signage and a cohesive gallery guide.
The coordination of alot of thinking and creative partnerships is key to success for such a small property. In addition to coordinating the physical, rich content is very important. In the third issue of the property's Cultural Almanac, there is a collection of articles and features that tie into on-property messaging, like how much we love SEWE, a Southeastern wildlife community-driven event that takes place in February. It's all about refining and editing layers and layers of experience, from retail to print to social, and letting guests dive in.
Continuing to work with the philosophy of blurring lines between highly layered experiences, a project director cancast a vision for many projects. An example is Dream Hotel Group's "Meet The Makers" program that is focused on a campaign that helps tell rich stories around the newly opened Dream Hollywood that speaks directly to the brand's DNA.
Utilizing the pillars of "Cottage, Craft, and Hand" to reconnect with the great craftsmen and women of the Los Angeles creative community, links with custom guitar designers, mad hatters, cordwainer, and botanists to showcase their unique products in our shop is an integral part of the design. Additionally we are programming workshops and Q&A's in versatile space at the property. We are also getting an exclusive look inside the makers' studios through videos and interviews that will be shared across many digital channels; a very effective way to create organic buzz.
As customers become increasingly sophisticated thanks to social media and image-savvy tastemakers, the best hospitality brands are now in the business of "universe building" and sharing their visions across a mix of physical, as well as conceptual, mediums. There's no limit to what kinds of experiences we can create for our guests and partners, and that makes for a very exciting future.

CAERNARFON Gwyrfai bounced back to the top of division one of the Eryri Squash League, bringing previous leaders Gwynedd Nalgo down to earth with an emphatic 5-0 away win.
Youngster Dan Jones was elevated to number one for Nalgo, but was no match for Welsh international Natalie Pritchard who demolished him 9-3, 9-0, 9-2.
Cofis' Dafydd Davies defeated Phil Bayman 3-1, Gwyrfai captain Trystan Larsen swept past a tired Geraint Williams 3-0, Iwan Baker-Jones whitewashed Vince Bunting 3-0 and Owain Roberts hammered Ron Owens by the same score to hand the visitors a handsome 19-1 points win.
In the second division Caernarfon Juniors went down 3-2 at home to Bangor Vets.
Arwel Jones was number one for the junior side, and saw off Dave Moore 3-0.
Kath Broach replied for Bangor, proving 3-0 too good for David Parry, but there was a fine win at number three for Caernarfon as young star Rhodri Jones beat the vastly more experienced Alun Ward 3-1.
The Vets stole the honours, however, with 3-0 successes for Dyfrig Jones (over Phil Barker) and Robert Whitaker (over Gwion Jones), giving the away side the spoils 14-6.
Teigars Llangefni seem unstoppable at the moment as they marched on with another win, this time 4-1 at home to a strong Bethesda 2 outfit.
Jon Williams was number one for Bethesda's second string and was given a battle by Berwyn Owen, with the Plas Ffrancon player edging out a 3-1 win.
Llangefni's John Bird had little difficulty in dispatching Chris Watson 3-1 and the island side's Allan Baker overcame young opponent Iwan Hughes 3-0.
Ted Stephens continued the run for Teigars as he beat another rising star, Rhys Cross 3-1. Gwyn Hughes finished the night in style for the host side hammering Geraint Roberts 3-0, allowing Cefni to take the points 17-5.
Bethesda 1 entertained Holyhead 3 and the predictable rout took place as the bottom side crumbled 19-0, with 3-0 wins for Pesda's Nic Roberts, Steve Jones, Dafydd Williams, Darren Griffiths and Graham Davies, given a walkover at number five, with the Harbourmen having only four players on the night.
ERYRI Squash is hosting an exhibition match at Maes Glas courts in Bangor, this Friday at 7pm. The Welsh number four Rob Sutherland will take on number five Ricky Davies. Interested players are welcome to attend and challenge the stars on the night.

How We Stand Apart
We stand apart from other providers in that we're actively attempting to solve some of the biggest problems patients experience today when working with a provider. Here are some problems we've identified, and how we hope to solve them.
Problem: Discontinuity in care = "What to do I next?"
Our Solution: We provide a clear program of care, options for next steps, and a network of other excellent clinicians.
Problem: A high percentage of people don't understand what their doctors tell them = "What did she say?"
Our Solution: We provide clear, organized communications that you can always access through our secure patient portal.
Problem: Lacking metrics for healthy function = "How are you measuring my progress?"
Our Solution: We help you improve function, and in order to do so we must define function, measure it, and track your progress. This is what we do.
Problem: Safety of treatment = "Is this safe?"
Our Solution: We provide conservative care that is incredibly safe and effective. Ask us for our research briefing if you'd like to see the evidence.
Problem: Misconceptions of chiropractic being dangerous or lacking evidence = "I heard that..."
Our Solution: We understand that various ideas abound. We provide the information demonstrating the safety and efficacy of the practice. We hope you're willing to take a look, and experience the benefits!
Problem: Patient's are often not heard = "He didn't listen to what I told him."
Our Solution: We listen actively and do our best to hear and understand what you're really wanting out of care.
Problem: Too quick = "My doctor spent just 3 minutes with me."
Our Solution: We take the time to provide quality, personal care.
Problem: Sales Pitch to Long-Term Care = "She said I had to come back 3 times per week for the rest of my life."
Our Solution: We're not shy to say that want to build long-term relationships of care, most importantly because people under care get the best results. At the same time, we appreciate that everyone is looking for something a little different out of care. We want to meet you where you're at, and offer solutions based on your needs. Often, a series of regular appointments is helpful to reestablish a healthy baseline. Sometimes, sporadic maintenance care works just great. We certainly hope to empower you to not rely on us, and also hope that you'll continue to choose us, because you choose good health.
Problem: Masking symptoms for wellness, and lack of preventive care/outlook = "I thought this was supposed to be health care."
Our Solution: We attempt to get to the root of the issue, and help you correct that. We also hope to provide sustainable solutions to care that help prevent illness and injury, thus keeping you on top of your game. And if we can't do it, we'll do our best to find someone who can.
Problem: Lacking inspiration and beauty = "The care and the environment are impersonal and overly sterile."
Our Solution: We hope you leave having an inspired and beautiful experience. We're doing our very best to provide personalized care in a warm environment.
Problem: Healthcare is expensive = "OMG, I can't afford that."
Our Solution: We provide very affordable care, especially considering the alternatives.
Problem: Lack of follow up = "I'm not sure what happened…"
Our Solution: We follow up and we follow through, doing our best to ensure your needs are met.
Problem: No accountability in care = "I keep dropping my commitments to self care, and wind up back in the same place that I started."
Our Solution: We provide accountability when you want it, and we incentivize your following through.
Why Choose HALO Health?
Choose us because you want any one or more of the following:
- You're empowered to take the reins, or you want to be.
- You want to feel better.
- You want an effective, sustainable and natural option for care.
- You want personalized service.
- You want accountability, inspiration, and a plan.
- You want to try something new.
- You choose to live well, to feel well, and to function well.

The establishment of the goal of building a national public cultural service system in 2015 has set up a clear goal that the state public financial investment should maintain a steady growth. However, through continuous observation of public libraries in county level, it was found that the traditional management mode of "increase output by increasing public investment" is losing its strength due to the dual constraints of growing institutional costs and the transformation of residents cultural consumption patterns. On the whole, the cultural industry has entered an overlapping period of "soft contraction" and structural transformation. The rising disparity between eastern, central, western China and northeastern China in the 21st century combined with different variables such as financial subsidies, employees, population base and GDP affects the performance of public resources in county libraries, leading to ineffectiveness of the format management mode formed under the planning system to varying degrees and "L type" performance mode in county level public library. To raise the performance of grass roots public cultural institutions, it is no longer merely a technical issue of "increasing staff and adding money", but mainly the issue of deepening the reform of the structural management in the industrial system. At the macro level, it is necessary to go beyond the traditional policy ideas of largely increasing public input to motivate business development and performance improvement, and establish the policy design principles on the premise of "increasing public investment" and "innovation management system". At the middle level, the grass roots units of culture should explore the establishment of independent status, improve the corporate governance structure, and transform from "input driven mode" to "management innovation driven mode". At the practical level, the government should further improve the system of purchasing public cultural services by social forces, explore the establishment of a voting mechanism for residents consumption of public cultural products, and enlarge the leverage function of the incentive policy which guides the consumer side to supply side reform. 5 figs. 6 tabs. 25 refs.
