Here is what are clients have to say about us:
"Ania and Radek were our wedding photographers for our Hawaiian wedding. After deciding to Elope to Oahu we were immediately on the hunt for a great photographer as it would be all our family had to see our big day. After a quick Google search it was truly a no brainier choosing Right Frame Photography. My contact was Ania who was prompt to all my emails and extremely informative. It's been only 2 weeks and our photos are already ready to view. I would highly recommend Right Frame to anyone on Oahu looking for a professional photographer. We're so happy with the results!" – Chrissy.
"When I contacted them to inquire about their prices for a family photoshoot in Oahu, Hawaii, Ania responded right away and answered all of my questions with great detail." – Diane E. (Fort Irwin, CA)
"What an amazing team from start to finish! Planning Destination Wedding in Hawaii a is no easy task. Ania was very responsive to all my emails and questions. We had the chance to meet once before the wedding and we knew we would be in great hands to capture our happy occasion. I personally feel awkward and am not good at posing for pictures but Radek and Ania was there to direct and guide me. We couldn't have asked for better. We got our pictures back in no time at all! What we got was nothing short of AMAZING!!!! We would gladly recommend them for any type of photo session you may need." – Linda.
"Right Frame Photography is the one you should choose if you are looking for a great Oahu family photographers who are not only taking great pictures but also take care of their customers. We went to Oahu to celebrate my daughter's 1st birthday and Radek did a fantastic job. We loved his pictures. Radek was very kind true and professional photographer. Ania quickly responded to my emails and text messages. I definitely recommend Right Frame Photography for those who want a Hawaii professional family photographer for special events." – Hwee.
"We planned a destination wedding in Hawaii from Sydney, Australia and communicated with Ania via email - in fact, the first time we met was on the wedding day! The prompt emails made us feel assured that we didn't see the need to meet up before hand. On the day of our wedding and on the trash the dress photo session, Radek and Ania provided a lot of direction for the best photos - I'm not one that knows her best angle and am usually the awkward one in photos, so if you're like me, do everything they say and you'll look elegant without any effort. We opted for the 6hrs signature package (which included a Trash the dress photoshoot, Metal print of our selected photo, Slideshow of our selection, Wedding Album of our selection, and a USB with photos from the wedding day and trash the dress) - I stress the our selection, as some photographers will choose what they consider to be the best photos and compile your wedding album based on their own opinion - not yours. Ania and Radek are collaborative and extremely efficient - It's been 3 months since we got married and we have received all parts of our package. I know for a fact that back at home, it would take 3 months to only receive an album! I would gladly recommend Right Frame to anyone who wants to get either married or a photoshoot done in Hawaii- my only regret was not using them for our engagement photoshoot when we were in Oahu in 2015 - but I'll be booking them when we return to Oahu with our future family :) Mahalo!" – Oriana (Australia).
If you are planning to capture your memorable moments in Hawaii, contact us today at email@example.com. We promptly answer to any queries our potential clients may have.
We love to listen to feedback so don't forget to review your experience with us!

An introspective classic, On Some Shit contains all the elements that made listeners fall in love with the Kidd Kidd's sound. Sick and twisted bars liter the beat, while Kidd eloquently exposes the real and the fake. Raw, street lyricism and metaphorical bravado definite On Some Shit; an incredible follow up to his single Count On My Hand.

Brian Smith was born in Australia, where he developed his love of surfing. A chartered accountant, he studied at the UCLA Graduate School of Management, and with $500 of start-up money, he founded UGG Imports to bring sheepskin footwear to America. After seventeen years, as sales reached $15 million, he sold the business to Deckers Outdoor Corporation. The UGG brand has since exceeded $1 billion of international sales times over.
A passionate innovator and entrepreneur, Brian is one of the most sought after business leaders in the country today. As a media guest and inspiring speaker, he is committed to teaching his breakthrough business strategies to entrepreneurs and translating personal vision and spirituality into company culture.
Brian Smith has recently written a book based upon his journey from conceiving the idea, all the way to selling the business as a national brand. The books theme is that you can't give birth to adults. Every business starts with conception, then birth...the long infancy, then toddling, youth and teenage phases. This understanding is powerful, as hundreds of people in his keynote speaking seminars tell that they were about to give up on their dream, but now they identify themselves in one of the early phases. This gripping story of ecstatic highs and crushing lows of UGG, and Brian show how you can dig deep to overcome every obstacle in your path. Called The Birth Of A Brand, the book is available on Amazon, and you can download the first chapter free from his website, www.BRIANSMITHSPEAKER.com.

Yesterday was the shortest day.
In Helsinki the sun came up at 09:25, and went back down again at 15:10. I make that 5 3/4 hours of official day light. Not too bad compared to Trondheim, where yesterday the sun came up at 09:59 and went back down at 14:28 (just short of 4 1/2 hours). We've really noticed the extra 1 1/4 hours - it hasn't seemed anywhere near as oppressively dark as it did last year. I think this time last year in Trondheim it was cloudy a lot of the time, which didn't help, whereas here in Helsinki we've had some clear, cold, crisp sunny days (like yesterday).
I still think back to when I moved from Knoxville, Tennessee back to the UK (in 2003) - I think Knoxville this time of year has about 9 1/2 hours of day light, and Bristol has about 7 3/4 hours, I remember really noticing the difference over the winter, and thinking that Bristol was really dark - looking back, I didn't know anything. I can't imagine living north of the arctic circle and not getting any light whatsoever.
I've altered the Koolhaas hat so that it covers my ears - it was quite stressful ripping back the crown shaping - before I ripped anything I thread a smaller circular needle through what I thought was a row and unravelled back to it - I had managed to thread through a row (they're difficult to spot through the cables) and so it all went OK. So, here's a definitely finished Koolhaas hat:

I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Cisco Systems in May 2010.
The hiring process, from the job applicant perspective, includes several steps. From the time you apply for a job until the time you accept a job offer, you will go through a series of steps as you progress through the hiring process from completing a job application to coming on board as a new employee.
Interview Questions
Helpful (9)

Talked asked about my current experience and threads, dead locks, datastructures, css, javascript basic questions, asked to write double linked list program, string reversal, they would accept any language you are comfortable in.
Interview Questions
Helpful (9)
I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Cisco Systems (San Jose, CA).
I was directly called for an onsite interview. Couple of guys asked programming questions on the board. They were usually hard questions. The interviewers were friendly guys from different nations. The whole process took about 2 hours.
Interview Questions
I applied through college or university. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Cisco Systems in September 2014.
I was asked a technical question on Machine Learning during the recruiting at a Career Fair straight away while reviewing my Resume. The question was on the possibility of separating houses for a Realtor into various clusters. I answered the question by proposing a Decision Tree (ID3 Algorithm) or a Linear Separator, depending on the number of features that the test data had.
I then was offered a phone interview, where I was a standard question regarding Data Structures and Algorithms. (Can't spit out the details, sorry).
Interview Questions
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Cisco Systems in March 2010.
Phone interview, in person interview, meet director; the interview is relative straightforward with some programming test. Two rounds of interviews with team members; questions are ok. Some are tough ones deeper into Cisco IOS and industry trend
Interview Questions
Simple standard steps for programming language of C. Unix internal IPC communication mechanics
Bit operation and general networking protocols basic.
45 min each of 4 people interview in one afternoon long.
Link list and pointers and structures in C
Interview Questions
Submitted my resume and was called back for an interview. Was only a sophomore and he asked questions that were beyond my coding experience. These included stuff about speeding up a program and how to refer to its stackframe. Could have killed it if i came more prepared.
I applied through other source. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Cisco Systems in June 2010.
Multiple one on one interviews with team members over multiple days. This was many years ago and the hiring process is much more structured now. Back then the company was small and growing rapidly.
Interview Questions
No negations.
I interviewed at Cisco Systems (San Jose, CA) in July 2010.
Cisco hiring is very intensive. It is a 5 round process. Usually they will ask whats on your resume.
They will test your automation skills. It ends with talk with Project manager and Director.
Interview Questions
I applied through college or university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Cisco Systems (Baltimore, MD) in October 2014.
It's SourceFire in Baltimore. There is a phone interview and code assignment before onsite. All about C question like tell output, find bug. This company is doing network security so must prepare C coding and network question

Using 16 Poss-I fields covering the Pisces-Perseus Supercluster we have completed a two-color survey of galaxies. We used a galaxy surface density map to locate large-scale regions of low or high density. A two-color map is used to study concentrations of early and late type galaxies. We have also investigated the photometric properties known to correlate with the Morphology-Density Relation as described by Odewahn and Aldering (1995).

It is generally recognized that ICL has the potential to benefit both language instruction and subject learning. Nonetheless, there is increasing concern that ICL does not systematically address the kind of academic discourse required to become pluriliterate users of academic disciplines. It is not simply a question of teaching in English, and there may be unintended consequences – both positive and negative – in unexpected areas. How can ICL enable learners to articulate new knowledge and become competent writers and critical readers in an additional language?
ICLHE 2015, organized by ExHEM and the ULB Language Centre, will thus focus on the critical evaluation of existing and novel concepts – pedagogical, methodological and linguistic – observed in ICL in universities today. The conference will attempt to map out the ICL approaches teachers use in their lectures and classes, with a special focus on constructing and developing academic literacies across disciplines.
Conference themes:
ICLHE 2015 addresses key themes such as:
- Integration; Theorizing language issues in a university context. How to foster collaborations between language teachers and content specialists, by f.e. using active learning techniques and strategies at university: using ICT to enhance integration.
- Content; Shaping the cognitive demands of academic disciplines : fostering cognitive engagement.
- Language; Improving the language proficiency of teaching staff : supporting student language acquisition.
- Assessment; Devising learning outcomes: using creative assessment and evaluation tools (self-/peer-assessment): monitoring the quality of ICL teaching and learning.
- Training; Training academic staff for ICL: incorporating language acquisition in teacher training.

NXT once again throws gauntlet of incredible matches, shocking moments at WWE's feet.
After a couple middling TakeOver specials that were solid
but unspectacular, NXT delivered a must-see program Saturday night with its
third showing in Brooklyn.
The five-match card featured three title bouts and two
grudge matches, but it's what happened outside the bells that really made this
a noteworthy show (beyond the solid wrestling). A trio of aggressors made sure
to introduce themselves to new champions, laying them out and announcing their
presence. It set up future storylines, future matchups and gave fans a reason
to tune in on Wednesdays other than to see the new champs.
The action inside the ring was solid at worst and excellent
at best. All the wrestlers went 100 kph, and the hot crowd certainly helped
amplify that. It's hard to pick which match was the best of the night, though
the opening between Andrade "Cien" Almas and Johnny Gargano was hard to top,
and the NXT Women's Championship match riveted fans and had some of the hottest
near-falls you'll see.
SummerSlam might have a four-hour PPV schedule – twice as
long as TakeOver – but they're going to have to work twice as hard to top
TakeOver Brooklyn III in terms of quality and entertainment value. That's not to
say that it can't be done, but the bar has been set rather high.
With that said, let's see what rose and what fell. Let's get
to it…

Publisher: Loveswept (May 12, 2015)
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Everly Parker is about to graduate from law school, always busy, and can't stop rushing through life. Her late grandmother left her a bucket list of meaningful, can't-miss experiences, but she hasn't completed a single one. Then searing-hot Max Levin bursts into her world. As a casting director for a porn production company, Max is loaded, cocky, and all wrong for Everly. Still, she's tempted enough to cross the first item off her list: Go out with someone you'd never give the time of day.
Inheriting a porn empire isn't every guy's dream (well, actually, it probably is), but Max isn't complaining. It's just that until he meets Everly, he has no idea what he's been missing. As the pressure mounts to take over the family business, Max can't help wondering what would happen if he chose Everly instead. So far, his life has been a wild ride, but only Everly promises the greatest rush of all: love.
Where to Buy*:
Kame's Review:
Everly had a bucket list given to her by her grandmother who left strict orders in her will to have that list done by the time she finished law school. With just a few months left Everly decides that knocking the first off - "Go out with someone you'd never give the time of day" - with Max Levin is the best way to start.
I am not sure how this book landed on my Kindle - as Max's job in adult entertainment industry would normally be a turn off for me. However just like Everly in the book; I realized Max was more than his job and honestly I started to like him and on some level feel for him. His want to help Everly is what kept me reading. Everly is a young woman who has always let her parents rule her life - not an uncommon trait in many of today's contemporary romances - and especially not in NA books. Her insecurities sometimes got annoying and her growth as a character was limited. It was really Max that kept me reading.
The plot at times was drawn out, and other times speed up that I questioned the timeline. The conflict between Max and Everly was somewhat expected. The reunion was nice, but the epilogue left me a little wanting.
I am thinking this might be the first in a series of books. I am not normally a reader of NA - and depending on who the next couple is I might pass. I will say I got tired of the porn references - and at times would just skim past the scenes when Max was at work; so if the next book continues to have characters employed by Max's father's company I will definitely pass.
I would definitely check out other books from this author as I enjoyed her writing - just not the setting as much.

Donald Trump won the key battleground state of Pennsylvania on Tuesday, a huge upset over Hillary Clinton, according to the Associated Press.
Since August, Clinton appeared to run slightly ahead of the Republican presidential nominee.
The Real Clear Politics average of recent polls showed Clinton with a 1.9-point lead over Trump early on Tuesday, while FiveThirtyEight puts her odds of winning in the state at 77%.
Clinton campaigned hard in Pennsylvania, making numerous stops in the state over the past months, and dispatching high-profile surrogates like President Barack Obama, first lady Michelle Obama, Vice President Joe Biden, and Sen. Bernie Sanders to the state in recent weeks.
The former secretary of state joined her husband former President Bill Clinton, both Obamas, Bruce Springsteen, and Jon Bon Jovi for a final campaign rally in Philadelphia on Monday night.
For his part, Trump focused significant energy on Pennsylvania, attempting to woo voters in the rural and suburban middle parts of the sate.
Though the Republican presidential nominee's campaign cancelled ads in some Pennsylvania markets last month, Trump repeatedly claimed without basis that the only way he would lose the state is " if cheating goes on."
A Clinton win could have buoyed the fortunes of other Democratic candidates down-ballot. Strong Democratic turnout could have helped boost Democratic senate nominee Katie McGinty, who lost to Sen. Pat Toomey in Pennsylvania late Tuesday.
This post will be updated....

Ruben Malayan is an award-winning artist, photographer, art director and visual effects supervisor, Ruben has been working in broadcast and cinema for over ten years, realizing creative projects in Armenia, Israel, The Netherlands, Canada and India. He holds degrees from Terlemezian Art College (painting) & from the State Institute of Fine Arts (graphics) in Yerevan, Armenia. Exhibits art locally and abroad. Ruben published a book 'The Art of Armenian Calligraphy / L'Art Calligraphique Armènienne' which focuses on the evolution of the calligraphic tradition as an independent art form. The document is designed to serve as a source of reference and inspiration to anyone interested inexamples of contemporary calligraphic work.
In the book Ruben discusses some of the historical, production and cultural narrative around Armanian scripts, letterform proportion and the classification of writing systems in great detail... "Armenian script styles are neither neat nor clean cut. The use of one type with another is common." Ruben outlines the various calligraphic characteristics found in Armenian texts as, Erkata'gir (Երկատագիր) The script is monumental by style, majuscule, the letters are large, very erect, with gracefully rounded lines connecting the vertical elements of the letters or springing from them. All the letters of the Erkata'gir script were written on the base line between two imaginary parallel lines, with ascending and descending elements being only slightly extended with the exception of two letters whose elements extend more drastically. The Bolor'gir (Բոլորգիր) script developed more elegant and graphic forms and although by its definition a round script, the characters are slanted and letters appear to have sharp corners. The contrast between the base shape and the connecting strokes is not as extreme as in Erkata'gir, and it is a more cursive type of script (characters are placed closer to one another), with smaller sizes and altered shapes. Sła'gir (Շխագիր) cursive script is rarely seen in manuscripts and was used mainly for notes. Executed with reed pens, its main characteristic was that it possessed an equal width of all elements. In general, the shape of the letters recalls that of an irregular Bolor'gir, although some elements of Straight Erkata'gir are in evidence as well. This became the basis for contemporary hand-written scripts in Armenia. Notr'gir (Նոտրագիր) notary script is a blend of Bolor'gir and Sła'gir with predominant small and cursive forms. It was used in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries.

SOUTHERN OCEAN WAVE BUOYs
MetOcean Solutions currently has six instruments collecting wave data in the Southern Ocean, including one moored and five drifting buoys. Here we provide graphs showing the real-time data. Note all these data are freely available to the scientific community.
Use your mouse to scroll, pan and inspect individual data records, and to navigate on the map.
Click on the following terms for explanations of significant wave height, maximum wave height and peak wave period.
Moored wave buoys
This is a collaborative project between the New Zealand Defence Force, Defence Technology Agency and MetOcean Solutions. Located at 52° 45.71' S, 169° 02.54' E, this is the southernmost open-ocean moored wave buoy in the world. There have been two deployments to date, named SOWRB and CIWRB.
Southern Ocean WRB (SOWRB)
Type: TRIAXYS™ directional wave buoy
Date of deployment: 8 February 2017
Moored until: 28 July 2017
Maximum wave height measured: 19.4m on 20 May 2017
Vessel: HMNZS OTAGO
Campbell Island WRB (CIWRB)
Type: TRIAXYS™ directional wave buoy
Date of deployment: 2 March 2018
Moored until: present
Maximum wave height measured: 23.8m on 09 May 2018
Vessel: HMNZS WELLINGTON
Drifting wave buoys
Southern Ocean WRB (SOWRB)
Type: TRIAXYS™ directional wave buoy
Date of release: 28 July 2017
Vessel: HMNZS OTAGO
Spotter Wave Buoys
Type: Spoondrift Spotter
Date of release: 14 February 2018
Vessel: RV TANGAROA
In partnership with Spoondrift and Defence Technology Agency, this deep south program is a trial of some new wave buoy technology. The Spotter wave buoys have had extensive testing in coastal environments, but their response in energetic open ocean states is unknown. If effective however, they could revolutionise the way we monitor the remote ocean basins through a constellation of drifting buoys.
The names of these drifting buoys are inspired by five waka navigators who voyaged from Rangiatea to Aotearoa New Zealand in ancient times, searching for peace and prosperity.
Turi captain of the waka Aotea
Ruatea captain of the waka Kurahaupo
Ngahue captain of the waka Tāwhirirangi
Kiwa captain of the waka Horouta
Hoturoa captain of the waka Tainui
More about the intrepid polynesian navigators...
Turi captain of the Aotea waka
Rongorongo, Turi's wife, asked her father to provide them with a waka, so he created Aotea from the second half of a great tree. The first half was used for the waka Matahorua that was captained by Kupe. When the time came for Turi to leave Rangiatea on the voyage, Kupe said to him "Keep your steering eastwards, where the sun rises keep the bow of your canoe ever steadily oriented towards that point of the sky." Arriving in Aotea Harbour, Turi and his fellow voyagers travelled down the West Coast naming places as they went; Kawhia, Mokau, Waitara, Oakura, Kaupokonui, Kapuni and Patea. They finally settled in Patea.
Ruatea captain of the Kurahaupo waka
The Kurahaupo waka voyaged from Rarotonga to Aotearoa New Zealand, but was badly damaged off Rangitahuahua (Raoul Island in the Kermadec Sanctuary). Many on board transferred to the Aotea waka including Ruateas younger brother Taumauriorongo. Ruatea and his remaining crew repaired the waka and continued on their voyage, passing Te Tai Rawhiti (the East Coast) and through Raukawa Moana (Cook Strait) to come finally land in the Rangitikei region where Ruatea and his crew disembarked.
Ngahue captain of the Tāwhirirangi waka
Legend has it that the Tāwhirirangi waka travelled alongside Kupe in the Matahorua waka in pursuit of Whekenui - a large octopus that had been taking the fish and bait from Kupe and his people. Tāwhirirangi voyaged across Te Moana nui-a-Kiwa (The Great Ocean of Kiwa) and landed first at Te Moana-a-Toi (Bay of Plenty). Continuing their pursuit, Ngahue managed to corner Te Wheke the octopus at Rangiwhakaoma (Castlepoint), but the great octopus managed to escape. The two crews continued to pursue Te Wheke until it was slain by Kupe in a heroic battle at Nga Whatu (The Brothers Island). From here the two waka continued their expedition and sailed down the western side of Te Wai Ponamu (The South Island).
Kiwa captain of the Takitimu waka and divine guardian of the sea
There are two recorded stories of Kiwa - one as an atua (God) and the other tangata (man). Guardians of the ocean were appointed to control its bounds and currents; Kiwa was one of these amongst a group who were regulators and controllers of the ocean. Kiwa was the offspring of the Potuangahuru - the tenth period of Chaos, and his wife was Hinemoana - the maid who was the ocean personified.
Another Kiwa recorded in oral history was Kiwa the captain of the Takitimu waka - a sacred canoe that voyaged to Aotearoa New Zealand followed by the Horouta waka - captained by Paoa. Takitimu arrived at Turanganui-a-Kiwa (Poverty Bay in Gisbourne) which translates to "the long waiting place of Kiwa" due to Kiwa's wait for the Hourouta waka to arrive after him.
Hoturoa high priest and captain of the Tainui waka
Ko Tainui te waka; Ko Hoturoa te tangata! (Tainui is the canoe; Hoturoa is the man!) Hoturoa led his people away from tribal skirmishes that preceded migration from Rangiatea to Aotearoa, but when he learned that Turi and others intended to leave Rangiatea, Hoturoa decided to follow them. Tainui first landed at Whangaparoa and from there explored the coast northwards and sailed into Waitemata Harbour. He then proceeded on to Manukau harbour and inland regions.
Some of the Tainui people settled in Whaingaroa (Raglan), Kawhia and Mokau. The last party left on board - the Ngati Tara - beached at Te Waiiti and Tainui. When hearing of this, Hoturoa who had settled at Kawhia was unhappy with the fate of the Tainui. So he gathered a party and travelled down to refloat the waka, where he sailed it to Kawhia. The Tainui was then drawn up into a manuka grove below the shrine of Ahurei, and two stone pillars, set at either end, mark where it rested. These limestone pillars still stand to this day - over 26 metres apart, at the Maketu Marae in Kawhia. The anchor used for the Tainui is also still present in Mokau and can be visited at the Awakino rivermouth.

Since the end of the twentieth century, scholars and critics have become increasingly interested in representations of the social mind in fiction. Their premise is that studies of the novel have neglected the functioning and interaction of groups (other than the family) in prose fiction narratives. In recent world history, globalization, which has replaced the separate fiefdoms of colonial domination with a worldwide communications network, mass immigrations, and generalized economic interdependence among nations, has made successful group interaction ever more vital to human survival. Because competing forms of storytelling—theatre, cinema, television dramas—have been vibrantly creative in dramatizing social issues and group …

Ileen & Avshalom: A Fabulous Fall Affair in The Berkshires
Ileen was 13 years old when she went to Israel to attend her first wedding -- the marriage of a friend of the family to Avshalom's older brother. At her young age, she wasn't thinking about much except for starting high school that fall and the fun stories she would tell her friends about her summer vacation. She certainly wasn't thinking much about guys!
THE BRIDE Ileen Gitelson, 24, support consultant for a financial information company
THE GROOM Avshalom Pinhasi, 31, electrical engineer
THE DATE October 21
THE SCENE The Williamsville Inn, West Stockbridge
The next time they saw each other was seven years later; she was in college in Pennsylvania and Avshalom, who lived in Israel, was traveling to the U.S. to visit his brother. A short visit with Ileen's family initiated subtle interactions between the two. A few months later, Ileen headed abroad to study in Barcelona for the semester, so on his way back to Israel, Avshalom stopped over in Spain to visit Ileen. And away from the pressure of family and friends, a romance began.
"We stayed in touch through the rest of my college career," says Ileen. "And three days after graduation, I was off to see Avshalom and tour Israel for the summer. I ended up staying a year!"
The following year, they were married at a historic inn in a rural mountain setting. Natural-looking invitations featuring a green leaf motif set the scene for a fall themed event, which was not hard to create in October in the Berkshires!
On the day of the ceremony, the fall foliage was at its peak. A huppah, topped by a prayer shawl given to the groom from his parents in honor of the wedding, was set up on the grounds of the inn; a short distance away, a large round table boasted a display of seasonal fruits, berries, and imported cheeses and crackers. Guests were served wine and champagne as they mingled on the grounds and awaited the start to the ceremony.
The procession began with the four "huppah holders" (the couple's brothers plus the groom's best friend), followed by the three bridesmaids, then Avshalom who walked through the rows of eager friends and family on the arms of both his parents. Then came the bride -- dressed in a white Galina gown, white ballet slippers, and a long veil -- who approached the huppah alongside her mother.
The ceremony was officiated by Rabbi David Small, whom the bride has known since she was in the eighth grade when he became the rabbi at her childhood synagogue. It was a traditional Jewish ceremony that included the signing of the ketubah, the traditional blessings over wine, the seven blessings directed toward the bride and groom, and, of course, the breaking of the glass by the groom which encouraged all the guests to cheer in unison, Mazel Tov!
"The ceremony was followed immediately by dancing, and hugs and good wishes from our guests," says Ileen. "We didn't even have a chance to have a recessional!" From a tent just a short distance away from their ceremony site, a disc jockey started ringing in the celebration with traditional Jewish dance music. Ileen and Avshalom didn't miss a beat as they danced their first dance as husband and wife to their favorite Israeli love song.
The dinner took place in the cozy dining rooms of the inn, decorated in a fall theme with jewel-colored roses (rich shades of red, orange, and gold to match the bouquets) floating in water and small pewter-colored boxed chocolates resting at each place setting. Warm foods such as Thai marinated chicken with pineapple and peanut sauces, seared Chilean sea bass with a lemon herb white wine sauce, Moroccan spiced chicken served with couscous pilaf, and spinach ravioli with a wild mushroom filling was served.
Among the dinner highlights were exceptional speeches by family members and the closest of friends welcoming Ileen into Avshalom's life and he into hers, and a super-sweet cake -- three tiers of chocolate topped with fresh raspberries and served with a drizzle of rich raspberry sauce.
Afterward, guests retreated to the candlelit tent for dancing that lasted well into the night. One by one, all of their guests wished the bride and groom well, and they said their goodbyes. "The dancing was definitely the most fun part of the evening," says Ileen. "We were the very last ones to leave."

For your code to use a single input to affect multiple outputs, you need to use a variable between them to 'hold' the value. In this code, the button press affects the variable pressCount, then the pressCount affects the state of the LED light.

New Concept: Combining if and else-if Statements
You can combine if and else-if statements to define a wide number of 'paths' for a program to take. Each else-if is another decision for the code to make. You can also use else-if statements to prioritize decisions. Think of deciding where to eat as you walk down a street. You may think "If pizza is available, I'll have that. If not, I'll look for Greek. If that's not available, I'll look for Chinese food.". This set of decisions prioritizes pizza over Greek and Greek over Chinese.
Now imagine the same decision using only if statements. Your decision would be "If pizza is available, I'll have that. If Greek is available, I'll have that. If Chinese is available, I'll have that." You would be extremely full!

Excerpt from the iPad Book - Foreword
Continuing on from yesterday's post - am putting the whole iPad book online page-by-page. Today we see the Foreword written by Elizabeth Fenner of the West Adams Heritage Association.
Behind the text in the book is a selection of photos, blurred to make the text more legible. The homes are, in order, A Craftsman in Victoria Park, the foyer of the Guasti Mansion on Adams Blvd, the Stimson Mansion, interior of the 1912 J.R. Dennison House in West Adams Heights and a Frank Tyler-designed Craftsman being rebuilt in West Adams Heights.
Note the button on the last page of the Foreword shaped like the borders of West Adams. Throughout the book whenever you see a button like this you can get additional information about what you're seeing.
You'll find the text of Elizabeth's Foreword after the Gallery below.
"Looking at these photographs is witnessing the discovery of a neighborhood. It happens all the time in Los Angeles, a city that has long enjoyed being stereotyped, underestimated and misunderstood.
Whether this is your first time seeing the houses of West Adams or you've known the area for decades, you know the feeling that's so evident here: wonder, curiosity, and joy that such places and things exist. It is a neighborhood filled with architectural treasures, some of the oldest houses in Los Angeles, and LA's greatest number of historically recognized landmarks. The miracle that occurred here, the many saved, preserved and restored houses and buildings, is almost exclusively thanks to an organization that was founded only 30 years ago, by a small group of people intent on preserving these houses and these neighborhoods for future generations.
West Adams became known to my family over ten years ago in the form of a holiday progressive dinner, put on by a group of people calling themselves the West Adams Heritage Association. Bundled up like carolers in the 48-degree evening, we strolled with WAHA from house to house, from champagne to appetizer to salad, dinner and dessert. By the end of the evening Victorian porches, Arts & Crafts rafters, quarter-sawn oak from 1905 and 1930s Georgian Revival porte-cocheres as well as service stairways, California pantries and stained glass were swirling through my mind like a dream.
It's silly but I really hadn't known LA was that old. I had grown up in a post-war baby-boom tract house, we had one bathroom and one lone palm tree in the front yard in 1978. At one time, the whole area had been set with close-packed streets of low-cost small-lot houses, each nearly the same, and each with a single Mexican fan palm in the front yard, (that was Manhattan Beach back then).
But here, in West Adams, a neighborhood off Crenshaw were grand old homes with glamorous histories and jaw-dropping architectural features. Our tour guides told us about old-growth wood wainscoting, pocket doors and sleeping porches. Each house came with a story, and each story was an epic to rival Gone With the Wind. Really.
Changes in population, technology, culture all through the years caused such upheaval in the families and homes, houses, lots, neighborhoods, and boulevards. Gas lighting changed to electric—horses changed to trolleys, then to automobiles. Neighborhoods were built to exclude, then when racial covenants were overturned, the area became a region enjoying great diversity, including many culturally, artistically, and literally rich African Americans. Then the ground literally moved under everyone's feet when the Santa Monica Freeway was constructed, cutting the neighborhood in half and essentially cutting it down. People with the money to move away typically did, and until WAHA rediscovered and began to rehabilitate it, the area had something like a long sleep.
The tours, which were a staple of WAHA identity from the beginning, continue still, and the homes, whether mansions or bungalows, remain fascinating and rich, in construction, culture, and history. Every year uncovers new facets of West Adams history, that run the gamut from oddball to stately, over-the-top to understated, triumph to tragedy. Its residents as well form one of the most diverse populations in Los Angeles, and among its past and present are musicians, actors, singers, artists, movers and shakers in industry, business, education and government.
Many will say that it is still a neighborhood in transition, and it is. WAHA and now many other local organizations work together to ensure West Adams and the surrounding neighborhoods preserve the glories of their past lives as well as incorporate the best possible future in urban life: parks, pedestrian friendly streets, easy public transportation.
Many places in Los Angeles are similarly blessed with pride of place and some unique, partly indefinable attraction. At a stoplight downtown the other day, I heard one bike rider say to another, "When I moved here, I hated LA too, but my there are a hundred different LAs, and you just have to find yours."
He's right, there are a hundred different LAs, and West Adams is just one of them, but the people here know it is special. No doubt photographer Jett Loe feels lucky to have discovered West Adams: the buildings, streets, and people of the neighborhoods are a treasure. It's equally lucky that West Adams has found him."

The idea of selling up house and home elsewhere and buying a gite complex or a similar business in France is very popular. This is for several obvious reasons, usually including some of the following:
- to leave an unsatisfactory job
- to adopt an 'easier' lifestyle
- desire to run a business rather than be an employee
- desire to live somewhere with better weather
For many this is a realistic possibility, since house prices have risen at different rates in different places. So many people in the UK, for example, may have a house worth £500,000 and hope to buy a gite complex for £400,000, and keep the rest aside for a rainy day.
The idea can actually work out, rather than remain as a dream. I should know - we moved to France five years ago to do exactly that, and have been successfully running gites for the last four years. So it is that experience that I will be calling on to write these articles. But the idea can fail as well, for a variety of reasons which I will also discuss.
This part of the site has the following sections:
- Why run gites in France
- How much to pay for your holiday rental business
- Day-to-day practicalities of running a holiday business
- Why might it fail
- Marketing gites
Why do you want to buy a Gite Business
This is the most important question, and you need to be able to answer it honestly. Note - it comes before the question about 'can you afford to sell up and buy some gites! If you want to live in the sunshine and gites is the only option you can think of that's not a very good start. If you think that operating gites will be easy, because there are only people on site ten weeks of the year, that is also not a very good start.
If you are very self-motivated to get on and do things, that is better. If you like dealing with people, and smiling when they complain, that is also a good sign. If you are practical, that is very useful - it is harder to make a living if you call a plumber every time you have a leaking tap.
If you like France and the French people that is a good sign. If you have never been to France and can speak no French that is a bad sign.
OK, so you've got this far and are still reading about buying a gite business. So the next question is whether it is financially practical, read part 2: How much to pay for gites

I watched a new movie a couple days ago. It was called Equilibrium. It starred Christian Bale. And it stirred some emotions in me that I wanted to air here. Before I get started, here is a pic of Christian Bale as John Preston.
It really was a good movie. I give it a thumbs up!
It sorta reminded me of George Orwell's 1984. But different in a way. I supposed they had to update the idea when they found out how true this plan is. HAHAHA
For one thing, Big Pharma has convinced the govt of why THE PEOPLE should be on their chemical drugs. I thought the idea of shooting yourself with drugs was much worse than taking a pill every 4 hours like in Orwells 1984. But we should all know by now, that medicating the symptoms, does not cure the disease.
I think Equilibrium showed in the best way possible why peoples emotions are such a threat.
In Orwells 1984 you had the 'thought police' every time someone had an undesirable thought the thought police would arrest you, and you would simply disappear. Men would come and take you away.
But in Equilibrium, the special cleric could intuitively pick out the ones who committed a 'sense' offense... and the police would follow the cleric to them and all the sense offenders were annihilated. It was pretty graphic. No books or pictures to make you feel anything... because people found out without feelings and emotions there would be no war. The awareness of nothing. The caring of nothing. No feelings at all whatsoever.
But without hate or violence how could we know love or peace?
Years ago, I was depressed and my Dr put me on Prozac. It did the job, I was no longer feeling depressed, but the problem was, I was no longer feeling happy either. I was literally feeling nothing.
I couldn't do it. What a tragedy it would be if all people stopped all feelings.
Sad to say, lots of people already have stopped feeling. They are drunk and on drugs, both legal and illegal.
There are to many who are walking about like zombies... only caring to feed themselves. And sometimes not even that...
Where is the love?
It has been, throughout history, GOOD against EVIL... not just for us, today. It will be the same tomorrow as it was yesterday. Individuals being born to choose a side... choosing to stand on the side of good or evil. Some choose good and some choose bad. Has always been this way... we all have the choice on which master we choose to serve. This isn't something from a movie or a book. This is real.
Feelings and emotions are NATURAL! They are not to be denied. But are meant to be controlled.
We have all felt the nudge of anger... the excitement of LOVE. The passions of men have caused troubles for humans since... well, since for ever... either way you look at it, its gonna be there... past and future... LOVE and HATE is going to be there... and all that that entails.
Do people see the hate that has sprung up in the world? People are hating on their own. Killing their own.
It is an atrocity to live in fear... shell shocked for all your life.
There are some cultures who live with hate as their GOD. Hate and revenge and murder and mayhem is their game in life. And the sad part about the whole thing... is the innocent children who don't understand this HOLY WAR. Who are standing dizzy with fear and not knowing who to trust!
So many innocent children are murdered simple because of hate. Passing judgment is in there too... with hate comes radical people doing horrendous things to other people.
Mans inhumanity unto man. I have spoken of it before. But the evil is spreading and growing as people follow hate to the bitter end. Its a sad story in the end for all the haters. Because being a hater... you have people hating you back. Hate breeds hate. Violence breeds violence. People killing their own kind.
What can save us now? We must fight their jihad, (HOLY WAR) because that is simply the way it is.
We are not the only ones here, people. We are all connected to each other... from alpha to omega we are connected... and in the end... we will all be together. Except for the 2nd death. But at that point, who cares? We won't miss the sin!
I am angry that people don't take me serious. But I know I am not wasting my time here! :)
What is the answer? I believe we have an ingrained solution! The LOVE of THE LOVING PEOPLE!
Oh yes... there are many out there. Preserving the way that will always be true and right!
Some people, naturally follow GODs laws, simply by being a loving family!
Sad that its not the LOVE that is showing more than the hate these days :(
We do have the answer within our own selves to stop the madness...
By loving one another!
Where are the people standing up for LOVE?
Why are there orphans in the world living on the streets when there are those who live in huge mansions?
You see, I believe we are seeing Genesis all over again here... now.
Because I don't see Genesis as the beginning, or the creation of man. I see Genesis as an experiment gone bad when some jealous jerk decides to be sneaky and persuade the subjects to defy YHWH... well it was all down hill from there. The first recorded man corrupting man. On PURPOSE! I can hardly believe there are humans who actually do that... but as we can see in the current and past news... it happens all the time.
So where do we go from here?
The first thing to do is wake up and smell the coffee and realize that we all at one time must stand up for something. So what are we going to stand up for? Corruption in high places? NEVER! We must not ever allow corruption in high places to exist. If you see corruption... say something to a different law enforcement agency. Its only when people stop fighting corruption, is when that corruption will take over. Pay attention to what is going on. Stop being caught up in the parties and shopping and feasting and seeking personal pleasure. LOOK at whats happening in the world today! Do you know that there are some who believe that others should die over sin? And that is no longer valid or honorable since Jesus paid that price already.
Evil can only win if THE PEOPLE allow it to!
I want to end this on a positive thought... it is such a joy as a mother and grandmother... to see the LOVE live on in the hearts and minds of the children! And no matter how it got there... I just give GOD the honor of spreading HIS deep sweet love... as a parent to a child... in word and deed since the beginning of recorded time, mothers love has been empowering people all over throughout time.
Oh yes... time. Hmmm... well, if we don't stop killing ourselves... we will learn to control world population. We will learn how to control our destiny... as we learn to control our emotions. We won't fly off the handle in a rage nor do anything that should be left to GOD to take care of. The worst thing we can do is play GOD. So many people have tried doing that... and have been consumed with their own arrogance... Nope... what we do is we EMULATE Jesus... who was the FINAL sacrifice (according to GOD) for stupid humans sins. We sacrifice 'self' in order to serve a higher purpose... like caring for all those children out there dying needlessly... wouldn't it be great if we could LOVE every child?
So sad that some hate and murder innocent children. We MUST not stand for this... as a WORLDLY UNITED PEOPLE we must demand that humans stop doing this to humans.
We can stop mans inhumanities to man... by stopping the hate. Ending the need for war, humanely.
And promoting the LOVing care of each other. Children should not have to lie awake at nights hearing the sounds of a war that they don't understand!
And all children should be allowed the privilege of being LOVED!
And its not going to happen without PEOPLE taking action. Show LOVE as an example... teaching others to LOVE... for in LOVING ONE ANOTHER... well... that's the only thing GOD wants from us!
So stand up and stop the barbaric lifestyles of some of the cultures who allow it. No matter where you see it. If you SEE abuse... REPORT IT. Now, I feel the need to say how horrible it is to report lies. Make sure all your reports are true and correct. I feel like if you know the people, its good and right to try and say something to them before involving the officials... cause that is a viciously used, moral offence... and also one of the commandments of GOD. Do not lie on someone to get them in trouble just cause you mad at em.
And again... if you are loving one another... this will not happen.
For nothing is stronger... than LOVE!
In the end... LOVE will win! :)

Lately, I've been experimenting with a productivity method called the pomorodo technique. I'm not sure what "pomodoro" has to do with productivity (it's Spanish for "tomato"), but I like the technique, nonetheless.
The concept of this method is simple:
- Pick a task you want to get done.
- Set a timer for 25 minutes (a pomodoro interval).
- Focus on that task - and only that task - until the timer goes off.
- When the timer goes off, take a 3-5 minute break, and really quit working on the task when the time is up.
- After the break, repeat the cycle again (you can continue on the same task, or pick a new one).
- After 4 pomodoro intervals, take a longer break (usually 15-30 minutes) and do something enjoyable.
This method is great for momentum, particularly on boring or daunting tasks, since you always feel like the next break isn't far away. The feeling of momentum and progress is also hard to describe - it reminds me very much of the 'sprints' used in the Scrum method of software development. In essence, this is very much like time boxing, but I prefer the use of fixed intervals in the pomodoro technique.
Gadgets can help
No surprise, I turned to gadgets to help me with the pomodoro method:
- Old school: I started this process using a mechanical kitchen timer shaped like a tomato, which I found on Amazon. This was fun, but not really portable (or at least I never remembered to bring mine with me when I left my desk). I eventually graduated to using my smartphone...
- Flat Tomato for iOS: On my iOS devices, Flat Tomato is my go-to pomodoro app. It is easy to use, and is perfectly-aligned with pomodoro, including timing the intervals, the breaks, and remembering that you've done 4 cycles so you need a longer break. It also tracks user-defined categories so you can review how you've spent your time (in an attractive, graphical chart). It also shows the status of the current interval on the lock screen.
- Clockwork Tomato for Android: On my Android devices, I use Clockwork Tomato. It has many of the same functions as Flat Tomato, with the addition of weekly and monthly summary graphs to show how you've spent your time.
- Computer- and web-based apps: I tend to use my smartphone for my timer, so I don't really have a computer-based timer to recommend for pomodoro. If you have one that you like, please share it in the comments below.
Bottom line, I am a fan of the pomodoro technique as a way to keep me productive, help me get through mundane tasks, and to reinforce the need for regular breaks during the day (that last one is huge in terms of energy management).

A new book out this month by William S. Burroughs and Jack Kerouac is reviewed in the Washington Post. For those of you who have read On The Road, this review delves into a couple of incidents mentioned in OTR. Written 60 years ago, it was tucked away in a file cabinet.

By William S. Burroughs and Jack Kerouac
Grove. 214 pp. $24
"And the Hippos Were Boiled in Their Tanks" is a literary curiosity, a genuine collectible. Here is its back story:
In 1944, in New York, a group of men, young and some not so young, hung around Columbia University, trying to find themselves. They included Jack Kerouac, just coming off a short career in the Merchant Marine; William S. Burroughs, not yet having written a word but already interested in the world of drugs; Allen Ginsberg, enthusiastic and charming but marginal to this story. These three shared mutual friends: Lucien Carr, a teenage boy genius who shone, particularly in Lionel Trilling's class (Have I dropped enough names yet?), and David Kammerer, a man who had taught Lucien in a private school about a half-dozen years before and who became hopelessly smitten with the kid. Carr would leave one school, enroll in another, and a few weeks later Kammerer would show up, just to look at him, to dote on him. Whether they had sex isn't known. But Kammerer would do things like sneak into Carr's room at night to watch him sleep. (One wonders now, decades later, where were Carr's parents? Or the police?)
Unformed, hapless, maybe a dozen of these guys hung out, doing what many of us do before getting married and settling down. They visited one another's seedy apartments, cadged money for one six-pack after another, went in flocks to art movies, engaged in sophomoric conversation about the Meaning of Life. Then one sultry August night, Carr and Kammerer went out for a walk in a park. They quarreled. Carr stabbed Kammerer with a pocket knife, threw him into the Hudson River and went off to tell Burroughs about it. Burroughs suggested he find a good lawyer and say he'd been protecting his honor. Then Carr went around to ask Kerouac's advice -- these were still just kids, remember -- and the two of them spent one last aimless day wandering the streets of New York, looking at pictures in a museum, drinking at a series of bars, until Carr finally got up the nerve to turn himself in.
Burroughs and Kerouac were arrested as material witnesses. Burroughs, who had a respectable family back in St. Louis, asked for their help and got out on bond. Kerouac, who came from a very different kind of family, found that his stepfather wouldn't put up any money. Instead, Kerouac arranged to marry his then-girlfriend so that her parents would bail him out of jail.
But what an event this was in these humdrum lives: an actual murder! For a bunch of grubby English majors, this seemed like the big time -- Life with a capital L. Ginsberg began working on a novel about it in his creative-writing class, only to be hauled on the carpet by the dean and told to stop: Columbia already had enough bad publicity. Then Kerouac and Burroughs decided to collaborate on a novel about the murder, alternating chapters, writing in a hard-boiled style. Burroughs would take the part of a loner bartender and then detective; Kerouac would be pretty much himself -- an ex-Merchant Marine, living with a sulky girlfriend, a guy who dreams incessantly of shipping out. Their manuscript, rejected by several New York publishers and then apparently forgotten, is now available in its entirety for the first time.
In terms of plot, until the murder itself, paralyzing boredom is the order of the day. Groups of people drop by the apartments of other people who really don't want to see them. Characters spend long, long minutes on street corners deciding what restaurant to go to. They see movies and then argue about them. In a Burroughs chapter, a rat runs into the middle of a room, then runs away. At another point, the Kerouac character dislodges a dead roach from the bottom of a glass so that he can pour himself some milk. A few girls wander through the landscape, tolerated but barely paid attention to.
Through these alternating chapters, the reader may search for the embryonic prose styles of two very different writers. Burroughs thinks shooting up morphine is dramatic and compelling enough to devote several paragraphs to the process. Kerouac lavishes time on the mechanics of shipping out and expresses a yearning to "travel far."
But what really comes through most significantly here is how different times were then. No television! So people sat in rooms and looked at each other. The phone was down in the lobby; if your buzzer rang, that meant you had a phone call. And most of all, although this is a social circle of primarily gay guys, nobody mentions it or seems to acknowledge it except when a disgruntled girlfriend accuses someone of being "queer." To be gay was still to be an outlaw. What would Kerouac, Burroughs and Ginsberg think of all these nice gay guys we have now, planning their weddings and asking their parents to the ceremony? And drugs have become so commonplace that checking into rehab is like visiting your Midwestern aunt.
Carr was incarcerated for a couple of years, then found work at UPI, got married and had three kids, one being the acclaimed novelist Caleb Carr. Kerouac found joy for a while when he was out on that mystical Road. Burroughs found his "outlaw" admirers. Ginsberg, besides writing his poetry, dressed up in costume and played the harmonium. But "Hippos" is a story of poverty before they invented the dogma that went along with being "Beat," a story of rodents, vermin and unwashed limbs and dollar bills stolen from purses. You can collect it, but you really don't have to read it.

Re: The Beat Generation, Before It Was Cool
Thanks for the info, Charlene. I wonder where this manuscript has been locked away for so long and how it came to see the light of day. Interesting title and interesting review!
Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming -
Wow! What a ride!
Wow! What a ride!

Re: The Beat Generation, Before It Was Cool
Wow! That's . I'm not sure I believe that the manuscript was "forgotten". The reviewer may not be all that impressed by the book, but I'd read it. Thank Charlene for posting this.
You can't judge a book by its cover.
The only thing that matters is the ending. It's the most important part of the story.

Re: The Beat Generation, Before It Was Cool
Right now my bedside book pile includes Desolation Angels, Visions of Cody, and Book of Dreams by Kerouac, Junky by William S. Burroughs, Axe Handles by Gary Snyder and Mindfield by Gregory Corso.
So guess I'll be adding to the pile... Thanks!

You wouldn't happen to have an interest in the Beats, would you, Buster?

It's tough for any parent to find that their child has a sleep disorder. Before going to know about what a sleep disorder is, know how much sleep do children need. Depending upon their age, the sleeping schedules varies from child to child. Children who are 12 to 18 years old need around 9 hours of sleep, toddlers need 11 to 14 hours and new-born will sleep approximately 16 to 17 hours. Lack of sleep in children may have negative effects on academic performance, extra-curricular activities and social relations.
Children with sleep disorders may exhibit some symptoms such as hyper activity, restlessness and inattentiveness which are more like ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder). Due to this symptomatic overlap, sleep disorders may often misdiagnosed with ADHD.
Signs of Sleep Disorders in Children:
Children with sleep disorders exhibit some symptoms which are considered to get medical evaluation.
- Excessive snoring
- Bed wetting in children older than 6 years.
- Trouble sleeping
- Sleep walking
- Excessive sleepiness during day
- Decrease in day time performance
Tips to Improve Your Child's Sleep:
Sleep disorders in children can lead not only to tired and cranky children, but also all kinds of behavioural problems in their social lives. Below are some tips to help to improve your child's sleep.
- A fixed bed time and wake-up time helps your child internal clock to get sleepy and feel awake at specific times. The waking time should not vary from weekday to weekend more than one to one and a half hours.
- Create a relaxing bedroom environment which makes it easy for your child to drift off to sleep and stay asleep.
- A warm bath before bed time will help child's body to reach a temperature where it's most likely to rest.
- Avoid offering foods and drinks with caffeine to children before bed time.
- Skip stimulating TV shows, video games or computer games before bed time in favour of more calming activities, because you want the child to relax not to energize.

This morning, as Taqua CEO Eric Pratt kicked off the company's 4th annual user group meeting in Dallas - after treating its participating partners and customers to an exciting football game yesterday (less so for Dallas Cowboys' fans than Tennessee Titans' faithful) - his focus was entirely on ongoing collaboration between Taqua and its users, as well as between users.
As Taqua continues to focus on the next gen voice market, Pratt says the company is more intent than ever on fostering a collaborative environment between its users, including the more than 50 in attendance.
"Rob Riordan is a prime example of someone that has taken a company from where a lot of you are and taken it to new heights," said Pratt of the Nsight EVP, who also keynoted today's user conference. "He has embraced the idea of sharing his ideas with the rest of the community."
Nsight, a Green Bay, Wisconsin-based provider of wireless and wireline communications services, embodies the fundamental preached by Taqua that there will always be rural areas that will never get the attention they need from Tier 1 operators, leaving open the door for local and regional operators with an eye on providing their customers the stability few others can by partnering with a switch vendor that is financially in better shape than it has ever been.
Through its partnerships with companies like Cisco, Vodafone, Broadsoft, and Acme Packet, Taqua is enabling its customers to reach their rural customers with a service reliability larger operators are unable to offer - they are simply too large and are not able to focus on the needs of rural customers. Quite simply, they focus on the masses, which means Taqua and its users have a clear path.
More than three years after heading down that path, a focus on North American Tier 2, 3, and 4 operators, is one which many predicted would end in failure, Pratt boasts of Taqua's growing user base, which is evidenced by the largest conference attendance to date.
"Taqua is not technology - it is the people," he said. "The people in this room have seen it, and the reason you are here is you have seen the commitment."

Why is this place so special?
The Cascade-Siskiyou National Monument is an ecological rarity. It is the only national monument set aside specifically for its biodiversity. It's home to an extraordinary array of plants and animals in a rich mosaic of forests, woodlands, grasslands, wet meadows, and interior desert.
The convergence of the ancient Siskiyou and Klamath Mountains with the younger volcanic Cascade Mountains creates an intersection and connectivity corridor for these distinct ecoregions to blend. Located in the Southwest corner of Oregon and Northern California, you can find more than 300 species of birds, mammals, reptiles, and amphibians —many of them rare or endemic — that depend on the ecological integrity of the monument to survive.
On a day hike, it is possible to experience each of the distinct ecoregions and to find plants and animals you cannot see anywhere else in the world.
Visitors come to the 112,000 acre monument to explore, study, hike, camp, hunt, and fish. They find a biological crossroads like no other. Rare. Vibrant. Vital.
The Friends of Cascade-Siskiyou National Monument promote the protection, restoration, and conservation of Cascade-Siskiyou National Monument in cooperation with the Bureau of Land Management.

Rose Gold Splattered Shorts
Copper and rose gold accents have been around for a while. Pantone announces a yearly collection of colors and for the first time, added Rose Quartz in 2016. It may be making it's debut appearance this year, but I've always been soft for anything copper or rose gold. Maybe that's one reason why I enjoy sipping a mule from it's traditional copper mug.
One day I walked into TopShop a few months back and almost immediately fell in love with these silver metallic painted shorts. Why almost? One, I didn't care for silver and thought rose gold would be a better option with my skin tone. I realized creating my own would be fun and in a sense; take me back to grade school when my mom and I would have our own craft and DIY projects together, and besides, I wanted an excuse to hunt for rose gold metallic paint. So I went on a trip to JoAnn's and Home Depot for supplies. Initially, I wanted only Rose Gold on the shorts, but the single color look one dimensional and flat. So I looked in my stash of random paint bottles and found a white bottle to compliment.
I picked up two sponge paint brushes which were very inexpensive and used a drop cloth to protect my surface underneath the shorts. Paint one side of your garment at a time and let dry before painting the other side. Use a heavier coat of paint on the sponge brush to create a splatter effect by letting it roll/drip on the shorts. Have FUN! Tag me in your DIY metallic garments on IG @3DegreesDB

Instagram Your Way to Engaged Volunteers
In an age where most things are found on the internet, photo-sharing platforms like Instagram are a great way for nonprofits to engage volunteers.
I mean, who doesn't like looking at pictures?
In our webinar, "VolunteerMatch: Getting Started" we discuss the importance of incorporating visuals into volunteer opportunities. Including pictures is a great way for your organization to showcase volunteers contributing to your cause. It is also an effective way to communicate expected job duties. In fact, we feel so strongly about this we recently made the Photo Manager tool free to all of our users.
Instagram is a great application for any organization looking to boost their social media presence. It integrates seamlessly with Facebook and Twitter, and it's a pretty simple application to operate. Less technologically savvy administrators can easily outsource Instagram duties to volunteers!
As a media tool, Instagram is a valuable resource. Rather than dealing with photographer fees or confusing upload protocol, users transfer content directly to the web – free of charge. This is an easy way to generate content for your website or social media page. You can also use Instagram visuals to supplement existing marketing materials such as brochures, postcards or signage.
As a recruitment tool, Instagram is a great way to engage with volunteers in a new medium. Your organization will get in front of previously unknown audiences and increase the likelihood of a new, more diverse volunteer base.
In place of word-heavy paragraphs and walls of text, using Instagram will enable you to convey your cause in a more impactful way. Pictures showing volunteers in the field resonate in ways that text cannot. Aside from highlighting specific job duties, prospective volunteers can see exactly how they will contribute to the cause of your organization.
In this case a picture really IS worth a thousand words!
Do you use Instagram or other photo-sharing platforms to engage volunteers? Tell us about it!

About The Author
Could you share/develop a template/sample position description (and title) for this "outsourced Instagram" volunteer role?
Love the idea of using instagram for this – very trendy right now, its only getting bigger
I'd like to add one big "BE CAREFUL" to this story: just because someone uploaded a photo to Instagram this does *NOT* mean that it is free or that you can use it on your website or marketing material!
Instagram photos are still the property of the photographer and you have to get written permission by the photographer to use it
From the Instagram terms of service (shortened version):
1) Instagram doesn't own the images – Instagram users do. Although the Instagram APIs can be used to provide you with access to Instagram user photos, nothing override the photo owners' requirements and restrictions, which may include "all rights reserved" notices (attached to each photo by default when uploaded to Instagram),
If you don't observe this rule, things can get very expensive very quickly. A photographer is currently suing a photo agency for 150,000 USD per photo that they have taken of TwitPic without their permission: http://sm4good.com/2012/05/14/photographer-sues-afp-120-million-twitterphotos/
Thanks, Timo, this is a really important thing for anyone to keep in mind when using photo-sharing platforms!

We are looking to hire a dedicated and ambitious, self-starter who is innovative in helping us run the business side of Mobile Baykeeper. This is a full-time, 40+ hour/week position. Must be available to work occasional nights and weekends.
Thank You Nickelle Stoll for Nearly 4 Years of Dedication to Mobile Baykeeper!
Three and a half years ago, Nickelle Stoll joined the Mobile Baykeeper team just in midst of the craziness that is the Publix Grandman Triathlon – and we didn't scare her away! She started at Baykeeper as our Partnership Coordinator before moving into the Operations Manager position while also serving as the Volunteer Coordinator for our fundraising events.
As Operations Manager, she's been a constant champion of our work, the joy of our team, and has threaded everything together to keep us learning and growing bigger and better each year. She has always kept us in line, dotting our I's and crossing our T's while working quietly behind the scenes to make sure everything runs as smoothly as possible around the office.
We are very sad (and a little terrified) to see her go, but she has decided to shift positions to work in a similar role for the South Alabama Volunteer Lawyer's Program. We know she's moving to a team that needs her and we feel confident that she will continue to grow and thrive in the future.
Nickelle and her incredible family - Spencer, William, and Dan - will remain vital and well-loved members of the Baykeeper team and we know they always remain an integral part of our larger Baykeeper family in the future. We are working on setting a date and time to celebrate Nickelle and her years of dedication to Baykeeper, and as soon as we have something confirmed, we will let you know. She will be with us for a few more weeks before transitioning to her new position, so please feel free to reach out to her and share how much she has meant to you at email@example.com.
Now Hiring: Operations Manager
Nickelle's shoes will be very hard to fill, but now we are beginning the search for a new candidate. Please click here to view the official position announcement so that we can begin working to replace her. If you know anyone that would be a good fit for this position, please encourage them to apply. Please send a resume and cover letter to email@example.com. For more information, call the office at 251-433-4229.
