Windsurfer Nick Dempsey hopes to add another silver to Great Britain's sailing medal haul on Tuesday afternoon.
After Ben Ainslie won gold on Sunday and Iain Percy and Andrew Simpson took silver, the 31-year-old heads into the medal race second in the overall standings. Dempsey has an 11-point cushion over nearest rival Toni Wilhelm of Germany, with Poland's Przemyslaw Miarczynski a further six points back.
The Athens 2004 bronze medallist cannot win gold as Holland's Dorian van Rijsselberge has an unassailable lead, although things are less certain for Dempsey.
"I knew he'd won halfway through the first race," he said. "He deserves it.
"I don't feel too bad. It's not like I lost it, more like he won it. He sailed better than me, and deserved to win."
Dempsey may be nervous but his father, Mike, is confident his son will take silver.
"[On Sunday] he put in a good day at the office," he said referring to Dempsey's ninth and second. "He did what he had to do, he's got himself a buffer of 11 points and I'm a bit more relaxed now. I know he's perfectly capable of doing it."
Britain also have a chance of a podium spot in the women's RS:X, although Bryony Shaw comes into the medal race seventh in the fleet.
The 2008 bronze medallist sits 11 points off the bronze and silver medal positions - with Israel's Lee-El Korzits and Finland's Tuuli Petaja tied on 38 points - heading into the deciding double-pointer.
"I've done a good job to be in an [medal] attacking position," Shaw said. "I'm 11 points off silver; there's potential there. I'm in seventh place but the points are much closer."

Produced for Architecture Minnesota Magazine, Exploring Base Camp is a series of 1-2 minute videos of the recently completed Historic Restoration by LHB for use by the Boy Scouts of America as an Urban Camp to connect young people to the outdoors and interactive experiences.
The twelve 1-2 minute videos explore various elements of the building's history, restoration, and Base Camp's uses of the building today and the populations it serves.
This also represents an experiment in User Interface Design. Because of the multitude of video segments, the decision was reached to create an interactive map of Base Camp for viewers to explore on their own terms. Each of the buttons placed on the map correlate to subject of the film.

[trip style = foodie + urban]
I should feature my hometown of Vancouver, BC more than I do. After all, it's constantly voted one the world's top cities. But alas, this is a travel blog, so I'm often wooed by what's afar versus near. Today this changes.
Two months ago, my friend and fellow travel aficionado, TravelwithKate, visited Vancouver. As an accomplished videographer {and a fellow Expedia Viewfinder} with a penchant for uber-local travel, we hit the town and she made a video.
Given our mutual love of food, drinks and shopping, we consumed croissants, clothes, coffee and craft brews at my go-to cafes and shops throughout the Glass City. Here's the play-by-play:
Featured Shops + Cafes {in order of appearance}
Beaucoup Bakery
Go here for Vancouver's best baking rolled and meticulously prepared in a white marble-clad space. Whatever you do, make sure you order a peanut butter sandwich cookie—my food nirvana. Address: 2150 Fir St, Vancouver, BC V6J 3B5
Oliver & Lilly's
Just a one-minute walk from Beaucoup Bakery, stop by this gallery-like boutique for Clare Vivier bags, classic-meets-on-trend pieces from Heidi Merrick and a conversation with gracious store owner, Leighann. Address: 1575 W 6th Ave, Vancouver, BC V6H 3G1
Board of Trade Co.
A seven-minute cab or 20-minute bus ride from Oliver & Lilly's, find Board of Trade Co. on the outskirts of Vancouver's historic Chinatown and the forefront of Vancouver fashion. Here, score killer basics for guys and gals and browse the store's own label, Priority of Ten. Address: 227 Union Street, Vancouver, BC V6A 2B2
Charlie & Lee
Located directly beside Board of Trade Co., Charlie & Lee is a hang-out-worthy shop full of wares for ladies and gents like Filson Luggage, Karen Walker sunglasses and a stunning selection of jewelry. Address: 223 Union St, Vancouver, BC V6A 2B2
Vincent Park
Run by the loveliest sisters in town—who special-order sizes and styles when you need 'em—Vincent Park carries everyday lifestyle pieces that have become my wardrobe staples; think Cheap Monday denim, Jeffrey Campbell shoes and Super sunglasses. Address: 4278 Main St, Vancouver, BC V5V 3P9
33 Acres Brewing Co.
About 20 blocks north of Vincent Park, 33 Acres is a triple-threat sporting a white-washed space worthy of a Kinfolk photoshoot, craft brews and a menu featuring food collabs with my happy-place cafes all over the city (Matchstick Coffee Roasters, Nelson the Seagull, Bestie, etc.}. Address: 15 W 8th Ave, Vancouver, BC V5Y 1M8

Hello from Chicago, the Windy City or as it's known right now the damn cold city! We've been here two days, arriving on Friday (31st) night on an interesting flight out of London which was delayed an hour as paramedics were on board dealing with a co pilot that injured his head on a switch, then delayed in Chicago because the paramedics had to come on board to deal with a sick passenger...... All that while sitting next to someone transporting an urn of ashes!
Still we are here, I will post somewhat longer posts later but I am currently sitting on 500 images from those two days alone so once I've calmed down I'll focus a bit and tell you all about this city. So far though it's been pretty great, friendly people (unless you're homeless-they seem to like shouting at the homeless!??), GREAT pizza, beautiful architecture and a transport system that I cannot stop being mesmerised by.
Until next time.

Just as i was heading for bed to read my book Master very kindly gave me my word.... saying that if i wanted to i could write up my thoughts and feeling on it, on the ipod.........However it was such a gem of a word i decided to relog onto my big pc and type in comfort while the boys played on their games downstairs safely out of the way.
Reflections....( this was the word)
Now i could do a blog about reflections in a mirror, and tell you all how i can now look at myself in the glass, and not see a person that does wrong all the time.(i never did do wrong all the time btw , i just had a past that had conditioned me to think that i did) i could tell you that i now actually like the person that i see staring back at me ( especially when i know that i have done well in the day , or made a person proud of me)See all of these things would be true, but it was not this i wanted to blog about.There again i could look back at the year and the positive and negative things that have happened these last twelve months.......In this i guess i would include the growth that i think that i have achieved , in learning to listen to Himself, in knowing that i can trust His judgement in what we have to do, in knowing myself that i can just fly when i am with Him and i dont have to hide anything from Him. In learning for myself that i need strictness and routine and without these i am lost.
Then there are a few milestones that i have achieved along the way as well , such as the reason to why i got artheritus so early, and knowledge now with the best way to deal with it. Knowing myself that there is nothing wrong with having a disability or having to ask for help when you cant manage something.(though that was a hard mile to walk as so to speak. ........)Learning about a new husky who is totally different to our old one , but on reflection it could be because of the knocks she has had already....and realising that even when we miss something , it doesnt make it come back .
i am guessing the word could even have been given due to my out burst of frustration when i couldnt tell that Master was joking and took something quite literal.......when it was meant to be funny.
See i guess that i do alot of reflection.......back thinking ....when i am on my own or with the dog..she is a good listener and helps me by not interupting me when my thoughts dont come out right , and strangely enough never complains when they dont quite come out in the right order either.
Looking back on our relationship this year i would say we have grown., Master is still learning about me and i am still learning how to please Him....( though i guess that will always be ongoing for as long as we are together and there is nothing wrong with this)
i have learnt that if i am ignored in a cold way ( this has happened with family ) i revert back into the lost little girl i was when i was growing up...i am tactile and need to know that people about me care about me ......if i dont, or i think that they are angry then i cling harder and get insecure....It has a negative affect that lasts too long and it is not something that i am good at dealing with. i also learnt that it builds walls that shut people out and barriers that i thought were a saftey net really turned out to be prison. These get harder to pull down when the pain is there, and it makes a vicious circle.
i know that Master and i we have a way to go, before i become totally balanced and reflect everything that is given to me .... but this is because of training , because of issues beyond our control that those about us throw at us, and because it takes time, and effort to build a strong relationship, in what ever path that we choose to follow. But i am safe in the knowledge that i have never regretted the first step W/we took together and i look forward to many more in the coming years.
the light of a candle is never lessened by lighting another .


text: Twitter's role in the Iran protests has raised questions about the accuracy of user-driven media Online social networking has played a big role throughout the Iranian elections. The oppostion used it to organise their campaign, then to get out the vote, and eventually to plan the enormous protests that followed the counting of the votes. But not all those who are part of the information uprising in Iran are against the government. Al Jazeera English spoke to one pro-government user of Twitter, the social networking website, who is known in the Iranian blogosphere by the nickname Shahrazad. Al Jazeera: You are part of the 'information uprising' in Iran - why are you doing it? Shahrazad: I just feel the need for a reliable source in this world of rumours. I saw that some people are using this opportunity to mislead non-Iranians. There are many fake Twitter accounts right now which just make everything so twisted and untrue. External links Read Shahrazad's blog Follow Shahrazad on Twitter Since the beginning, I have witnessed desperate minds trying any means to influence the voters into accepting Mousavi as the saviour. I felt there was no respect to the minds of the voters. Instead of giving true data so the voter may build up a true opinion, they were just spreading insults and rumours. One could feel desperation and the formation of a misleading front with only one target; to bring to life the corrupting forces behind the mask of reform. This intimidated me into standing up for my duty as a loving citizen of this great country to point out to what I believe is true and factual. The role of Twitter in the Iranian elections has been big news. You've recently moved from blogging to Twitter. What makes it so important for you? I did not move from blogging to tweeting. I am tweeting as a blogger. Twitter has its impact on Iran's election in general. We could show the world many special characters of Iran's election, what they could not find in the western Media. We could share the election rallies, the debates and the atmosphere in Iran before the election. Though now, after the results and after the protests had taken over, there were many fake news and rumours spread all over the internet and it's the disadvantage of Twitter. At the moment, we should not forget that just one third of Iranians use the internet and take it as a serious tool. I assume Twitter might not represent the ideas of the majority here. It only caters for the elite and the younger generation who form the majority of the reformists. The Revolutionary Guard have threatened bloggers and Twitter users, and they have crackdown on communication. How do you feel about that? I am not aware about such threats but I can understand that a warning of some kind should be given to all to be responsible while using such modern tools of media and not use it to feed in intentional lies and hatred to fellow citizens. After all, we are all under one Islamic umbrella and must co-exist together as true builders of a loving and peaceful and prosperous future for generations to come. Is it becoming dangerous to blog and use Twitter? How easy is it to get caught and what would happen to you if you did? I honestly do not think at security level. I have full trust in our system of government and I can see the positive changes Ahmadinejad had brought into our lives. Let us not forget that President Khatami - a reformist in his own right - had blocked university students from demonstrating during his rule, while they are given the freedom to be over-expressive nowadays. You say you're against Mousavi - did you vote for Ahmadinejad? I am not with, or against, a candidate as a person but rather the system of thought he or she presents. When I saw how Mousavi performed opposite Ahmadinejad in the famous debate I lost trust in his ability and I sensed a hidden agenda behind him, a feeling that he is being pushed forward to safeguard the interests of certain powerful figures. It was not a pleasant feeling to see candidates pushing forward to further mislead us into another colour of the same old fabric of deceit. We are intelligent enough to remember that all the negativity of today is an accumulation of the mistakes of the past and it is not just that those who are mostly to blame point fingers of blame on Ahmadinejad, who is of a much younger age and lesser time in power. I trust that Najad should be given the time to prove his good intentions and we rally behind him as he leads us into this era of positive changes. My favourite candidate was not Mr Mousavi, but even so I would not participate in rallies. We have a legal system in Iran like any other country in the world. What are you angry about? What needs to change in Iran? What do you want to happen? Iran elections in depth Video: Iran supreme leader in 'power struggle' Video: Iran's 'citizen journalists' Video: Iran steps up net censorship Video: Iranians go online to evade curbs Video: The struggle for power Video: Rival protests continue in Iran Video: Iranians rally in Europe Iran's Ayatollah under threat? Mousavi sees election hopes dashed Iran writer on poll result Mousavi's letter to the people Iran poll result 'harms US hopes' West concerned by Iran fraud claims What next for Iran? The Iranian political system Riz Khan: Iran's disputed election Inside Story: Iran election recount Inside Story: Iran's political future Your media: submit your clips of the protests to Al Jazeera Well, I am not angry, but hopeful. The freedom we gained for advertisements and rallies during election, those very frank and uncensored debates on TV, usage of colours and so on were all new, and the matter that for the first time in the history of Islamic Republic, protesters were shown on state TV, means that at general things are changing. We've started a new era in the Islamic Republic. Regardless of who is in power, things will change here. I believe that Iranian society and government is getting ready for big changes and we should not just push it to go forward. It will come to us by time and patience and not by force. I do not see the need to go in the streets and make life difficult for people. Tehran is a crowded city and usually there's lots of traffic everywhere and it takes time for someone to get to the place he wants in a normal day. The places they chose for protests are the most crowded parts of Tehran. It gives opportunity to some groups to misuse peaceful protests and turn it to a clash between parties. As we saw, so many people were injured - and some even murdered - and it's so sad. When we have legal system, we should complain based on that. These candidates ran for presidency and are supposed to obey law more than any other Iranian citizen. What do you think of the coverage of events in Iran by the western media? I am disappointed with the way the western media plays and is being picky. It chooses information that only serves to prove their own wishful thoughts. I did many interviews and when I read the edited published texts I realise how manipulative such a media is. Al Jazeera is not responsible for the content of external websites.

Would like to finish tour strongly: Virat Kohli
Sydney, Jan 22 (ANI): The Indian Cricket team is trailing behind in the five-match ODI series by 4-0, but vice-captain Virat Kohli is optimistic about the remaining matches. Addressing a press conference in Sydney on Friday, Kohli said the team has played competitive cricket so far, but has not been able to capitalise important moments. Giving credit to Australia, Kohli added that international cricket is all about capitalising key moments, which the hosts have done better. Kohli became the fastest batsman in the world to reach 7,000 ODI runs. He achieved the mark in 161 innings beating AB de Villiers' 166 innings. When asked about this, Kohli said that he doesn't pay attention to statistics.

Students recover one million pounds of food for hungry Americans
COLLEGE PARK, Maryland, November 16, 2015 - Food Recovery Network has reached a major milestone in its short four-year existence: the recovery of its one-millionth pound of food. Since 2011, students at more than 160 colleges and universities across the country have worked with campus dining services and local restaurants to pick up surplus prepared food and deliver it to hunger-fighting agencies in their communities.
FRN is the largest student movement against food waste and hunger at a time when 40% of all food is wasted and one in six Americans does not know where his or her next meal will come from.
Food Recovery Network began as a student club on the University of Maryland, College Park campus and, in partnership with food rescue groups at three other campuses, grew into a national student network. Currently, fourteen full-time employees support student leaders one-on-one in building and growing their food recovery programs at no cost to the students.
"When I first started working on FRN with my fellow co-founders, I had no idea that we would grow so quickly or that others would become so invested in the cause. We've been able to donate 1 million pounds in 4 years because we have thousands of student volunteers who care that good food is going to waste on their campus dining halls." says Mia Zavalij, FRN cofounder and Director of Development. "hey care that there are people in need in their communities. And they are doing something about it."
Food Recovery Network has also certified more than 65 food businesses that donate their surplus prepared foods, including The Gates Foundation Dining and Best Buy Corporate Dining.
By May 2016, there will be FRN chapters on over 180 campuses that will have recovered more than 1.2 million pounds of food since 2011, putting higher education on track to be the first sector where food recovery is the norm and not the exception.
"I remember being a freshman and feeling so small and disheartened about these huge, seemingly insurmountable global issues like hunger and climate change. I have no words to describe how inspiring it is, years later, to see thousands of FRN students attacking these issues in a meaningful, powerful way. One million pounds matter. Eight hundred thousand meals matter. Together, we're actually making a difference." says Cam Pascual, FRN co-founder and Director of Innovation.
On reaching this milestone, FRN Executive Director Regina Northouse remarks, "This one million pounds symbolizes so much for FRN. It's symbolic of the change our chapters want to see in the world, and their commitment to making that a reality: that good food should not be wasted, and that we can help those in our communities who need support. It's a simple solution to a fundamental belief we hold, and that belief will propel us forward as we recover the next million pounds."
About Food Recovery Network
Food Recovery Network unites and supports college students to fight food waste and hunger by recovering surplus food from their campuses and local restaurants that would otherwise go to waste and donating it to hungry Americans. FRN has 160+ chapters in 39 states. For more information about Food Recovery Network, visit www.foodrecoverynetwork.org.

No matter what product you are selling there are a specific number of steps that result in completing the sale. Individually, we all have a certain degree of success in each step along the way to the final sale. In fact, an insight to the sales process is that each one of these steps is a sale in itself, and subject to the same rules that govern the sales process as a whole. The normal sales process is such:
The Appointment
Presentation of Product
Closing the Sale
Cementing the Sale
Of course, the particulars of each step may vary according to product, but in general, this process applies to all products. What's interesting is that salespeople have varied success in each step, but always perceive the process as a whole instead of breaking it down into its integral parts. If they did they would discover that, in some steps, they are quite proficient, and conversely, they have poor or average performance in the others. So, for instance, how many contacts with potential customers does it take for you to get an appointment? And how long does that take? If you're working on commission, how much is that sale worth in weekly/monthly/annual income? If you know all these numbers then you can determine how much work you have to do to earn what you'd like to make.
This is of course a brief example, but it sets the tone for an in-depth study of your success in the sale of the product you are presently selling. Armed with this knowledge one can chart a course to personal sales excellence with any product. Happy Selling!

According to conductor laureate Esa-Pekka Salonen, "We are interested in the future. We are not trying to re-create the glories of the past, like so many other symphony orchestras."
However, the LA Phil's current logo and brand has become stale. Their imagery and typography do not reflect the aplomb of such a high caliber symphony orchestra.
The new imagery of the 2013-2014 season feature a kaleidoscopic "explosion" of photography inspired by the dynamic range of classical music.
The new LA Phil website has less clutter, and stresses cleanliness and ease of navigation. Concerts are organized by the month in an easy to access drop down menu.
The website showcases the performer as well as the composer, giving the user information on both, with links to Amazon, the International Sheet Music Database Project, as well as the LA Phil's own classical music information database. LA Phil's web presence stresses education and understanding of music as well as enjoyment and appreciation.
In individual concert pages, dynamic content also links the user to notable recordings from the performer, a feature that brings LA Phil more revenue, as well as informs about notable performers of well known composers.
Forzando: Spatial Concept
What if during summertime, LEDs could be installed into every seat in the Hollywood Bowl? A series of sensors placed in front of the audience can "catch" the volume of the orchestra and echo it across the audience, bringing dynamism of classical music out in a visual way.

I just got back from Disney World with my family a few weeks ago. It was my children's (5 and 8 years old) first time there, and watching them experience it all was pure magic! That kind of magic is something we strive for in everything we do at The Danse and encourage our clients to reach for as well.
For decades, Disney has made themselves the forerunner in Immersive experience technology. From the inception of their DisneyQuest programs to the Virtuality developments, Disney has led the way in total Immersive experiences for their customers. The question we are faced with now, is how can a training department utilize the practices Disney has already put in place to develop a more effective training module using immersive experiences?
The Disney Touch
One of the primary ways that Disney allows its guests to have an Immersive experience is through the ability to naturally interact with what you see. When you visit a Disney park, you enter a relatively virtual world. In this virtual world, you are able to manipulate the things around you. This can be scenery or characters. For a child, this is magic. Training departments should take note that the ability to interact is a key to a total immersive experience.
Seeing like Disney
True immersion must include seeing everything as if you're really standing there. Disney completely understands this and visually surrounds their guests in their experiences. At Disney, every ride, show, and game are built all around you, making you feel as if you're really in another place. Every video or animation is perfectly captured or created to lend itself to these experiences.
Mickey Ears
At the Disney Parks, and on their rides, sound plays a key part to their Immersive experience. If you were to ride Splash Mountain, your experience would not be the same if you could not hear the interactions of Brer Bear and Brer Fox in the background. These sounds tell us the story while we are queuing and enjoying the ride. As a training manager, you must always remember to keep the sense of sound in the forefront of your training modules.
The Smells of Success and What Magic Tastes like
The Imagineers at Disney have never forgotten two of your major senses, smell and taste. When you enter the Gran Fiesta Tour experience at Epcot's Mexico, you are inundated with the smells and tastes of old world Mexico through the centrally located restaurant. When a guest can not only ride and watch the experience, but also smell and taste it, they are that much more fulfilled. For training departments, the concept is the same. Imagine a waiter trying to explain a meal that they have never tasted. Or imagine a fire chief trying to explain what a diesel fire smells like to a group of new recruits.

Last night I tried a local beer that I really loved. I had some time to kill before my bowling league (yeah, you heard me right), so I sidled up the bar at Standard Tap for a pre-game tipple. They had Manayunk Brewery's Hive Honey IPA in a firkin. After asking the bartender if it was any good—and being offered a taste; I love that place—I spent the next 20 minutes thoroughly enjoying the hoppy, slight-sweet brew (made with raw local honey). It was an easy drinker, and the most gorgeous, mildly cloudy color.
Manayunk Brewery is not a brand I'm very familiar with, but the bartender mentioned that, after years of mediocrity, they've recently been producing some interesting stuff. The Honey IPA hit the spot for me.
The brewery (along with two dozen others) will participating in this year's annual Manayunk Brew Fest on Saturday, April 24. The theme is "Hopfest 2010." Click here for tickets ($45).

Is Your Job Recession-Proof?
Though it's difficult to predict exactly how the year will pan out, weak job growth, a slowing economy and troubled housing markets all point to signs of an economic recession. The good news for job seekers is that employers are still hiring and certain industries will survive (even thrive) during hard times.
Thirty-two percent of employers plan to add full-time, permanent employees in 2008, according to a CareerBuilder.com survey. Most employers are cautious, but anticipate a slower, yet steady hiring environment.
"Many job seekers make the mistake of attempting a career change during downturns," says John A. Challenger, chief executive officer of Challenger, Gray & Christmas, a global outplacement consultancy. "This can be a career-crippling move. It is much better to focus on transferring your current occupations skills to industries that remain healthy."
While some industries, including retail, manufacturing, finance and technology, are vulnerable during recessions, Challenger says there are always industries that seem "recession-resistant," based on different trends at the time of the slowdown.
"Do not make the mistake of thinking that only those with industry-specific skills will be in demand. Hospitals not only need nurses and physical therapists, they need administrators and information technology workers," Challenger says. "Firms specializing in information security need accountants and marketing professionals in addition to computer programmers. There should be a wide variety of opportunities in the industries that remain strong through the slowdown."
Are you working in a recession-proof business? Here is a list of industries expected to offer the best opportunities for job seekers during the predicted slump, according to Challenger, Gray & Christmas.
Industry No. 1: Education
With more teachers retiring and an increasing number of students enrolling in grades K-12, the demand for skilled teachers is rising. The National Center for Education Statistics predicts that in the next eight years, 2.8 million teachers must join the exisiting 3.2 million teachers because of retirements, higher enrollment and teacher turnover.
Other thriving jobs in education:Administrators, independent consultants and sales executives to supply text books and other learning materials.
Industry No. 2: Energy
The oil industry faces 80 percent of its work force reaching retirement age in the next decade, according to Challenger, Gray & Christmas. As a result, jobs related to oil and gas, alternative and renewable energy, and even nuclear energy are likely to see job growth at a steady pace.
Other thriving jobs in energy:Geoscientists, nuclear power reactor operators and engineers.
Industry No. 3: Environmental sector
The environmental industry created 5.3 million jobs in 2005, according to a United Nations report. As concerns about global warming swell, more and more companies are "going green" and will hire engineers and scientists to develop "green" technology. They'll also need guidance for becoming more eco-friendly.
Other thriving jobs in the environmental sector: Environmental consultants, program managers and attorneys.
Industry No. 4: Health care
Nearly half of the 30 fastest growing jobs are in health services, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Some of these jobs include medical assistants, physical therapists and home health aides.
Employers in California entice nurses with $7,500 signing bonuses for hard-to-fill jobs and $3,500 for traditional positions, according to the California Jobs Journal. They're also providing $3,000 anually for continuing education and relocation reimbursement, as well as time off to pursue professional interests, overtime pay and the option to work 12-hour shifts with four days off per week.
Other thriving jobs in health care:Physican assistants, medical records and health information technicians, and personal and home care aides.
Industry No. 5: Security
There will always be a need for security, whether it's in airports, at US borders or in a company protecting vital information. The Defense and Homeland Security departments need to fill an estimated 83,000 jobs over the next two years, according to a 2007 report by the Partnership for Public Service.
Other thriving jobs in security:Transportation security, information security managers and computer programmers.

Perspectacles was something that as a school we wanted to use to enhance our overall culture with our students. Houston helped us to achieve our goal of getting student buy-in through his enthusiasm and spirit. His ability to grasp the attention of his audience is truly a spectacle. Over 700 staff and students listened as Houston shared his heart. Students talked about his stories and were motivated to make a change.
Our school choose to purchase Perspectacles to wear in school. Challenging the student who wore them to perform one random act of kindness. I feel strongly that our efforts would not have been as successful if it hadn't been for Houston's ability to get students to see things through the eyes of someone who had experienced both kindness and regret. The students connected with him on a "realistic level". Knowing his vulnerabilities showed that they too can make a change.

I got to meet astronauts Chris Hadfield and Tom Marshburn at a Canada Day dinner function. My main squeeze works for CFC, which in part sponsored the dinner. Little Maddie took a liking to the astronauts, and we observed that Marshburn & Hadfield are as good with managing this little toddler as they are space ships.
Later in the evening I had a fun conversation with Tom Marshburn. Tom is very friendly and candid, and has that amazing perspective of an explorer.
What did I learn in our conversation?
1. You know you are back on earth when you are taking out the trash again. In space one day, taking out the trash the other.
2. Deep sea shares many similarities with deep space (he's met James Cameron, another deep sea alumni).
3. I asked him, once you've been in space, and the bottom of the ocean, where do you go from there in your life? When life has been so extraordinary? He said that's when you've got to turn around and give back.
4. When talking about other people who have had extraordinary situations, we somehow got talking about Anthony Kiedis and LA bands from the 80's. He liked Anthony Kiedis book "scar tissue". What was it about the culture in LA in the 80's that produced that level of music I wondered? I recommended Duff Mackagan "its so easy and other lies". Great biography of another individual who has been to a bottom of an ocean and past the stratosphere.
5. I asked him how he really felt when he watched Hollywood movies about space travel. He says he completely appreciates it when they get it right, but can still appreciate a good story if they get the details wrong. Awesome!
6. We compared acceptance into vet school to getting that call when you get accepted to be an astronaut (I know...no comparison really but...). He says that no matter what he did (engineering, medical school), a major factor of who made it forward was often how well you could get along. The personalities involved. People want to work with good people, above all else, no matter what your trade is.
7. Your family finds their own way when you are thousands of miles away.
(Photo info - hard, straight flash (yongnuo 460II) handheld off camera at arms length, all manual. I got a glimpse of the official photographer. On-camera flash with bounce card. Just taking that flash off a little bit to control it still makes a difference in popping your subject off the background, even if you only want to take a few seconds to make a shot).

Vogue India
To discard or not to discard, that is the question
You're probably tired of hearing the 'new year, new you' adage by now. But this one's all about putting it in context. What does it mean for the fashionphile who has a closet bursting at the seams—one that still (secretly) hides those seven-year-old jeans you hope to fit into some day? It simply means that it's time to let go of fashion that has served its purpose. How so? Two words: closet cleanse.
Agreed that a closet cleanse can be a scary exercise to wrap your head around, but if you survived that juice detox earlier this month, you can get through this too. And now is as good a time as any. Let Vogue guide you through this life-changing activity.
Rule #1: You don't have to do it all in one day. Break it down. For instance, day one could be for your bags and shoes, day two for workwear and so on. If you find the entire process too overwhelming, enlist the help of your BFF to keep you on track.
Rule #2: Define your style. You may have bought that fringed cross body bag on a whim, but if you're to be honest, it's not quite your style. In that case, this one belongs to the 'toss' pile, even if it was a one-of-a-kind find.
Rule #3: Edit, edit and, edit! Be (somewhat) ruthless about letting go of items that you no longer wear or have outgrown. Let's face it; if you haven't worn that bodycon dress in the last two years, you're probably not going to turn to it in the future either.
Rule #4: Holding onto five nautical tees? You may want to scrap a few. Delete an item when you find too many similar pieces lurking in your wardrobe.
Rule #5: Often, we're wary of getting rid of certain pieces because they're as good as new and deserve more wears. If you can't pass it on to a sister or bestie, turn to websites selling pre-loved fashion to find your beautiful pieces a new closet.
Rule #6: All done with the purge? Now focus on arranging your closet in an orderly manner for easy navigation in the future. Colour-coordinate your pile of blouses, hang your belts and scarves instead of stuffing them in a drawer and store your accessories in transparent pouches. You could also pull a Cher Horowitz and turn to technology (apps like Stylebook and Cloth) to keep track of all the items you own.
Rule #7: A closet cleanse is not just about creating more space. This is also the perfect opportunity to plan ahead and make a shopping list for the season, comprising strictly of things you really need (not want!), so that you don't end up adding to the clutter you just cleared out.

Porcupine Problem: Stationing
Ilana Bram
Animals sometimes do things we don't like. One such animal was Du Soleil (Due So-Lay), a North American porcupine.
Du Soleil had a habit of climbing her keepers' legs like a tree. In order to distract her, the keepers were instructed to give Du Soleil a treat whenever this happened. Du Soleil would climb back down and sit on her hind legs while slowly savoring her treat, freeing the poor keeper to go clean the enclosure… for a few minutes. Every time she finished one treat, she chased and climbed the keeper for another.
Over time, Du Soleil's leg-climbing became more and more persistent and energetic. One time, likely because a treat wasn't coming and she was frustrated, Du Soleil bit the keeper's leg, breaking skin.
Breaking down the behavior, it is clear that the keepers inadvertently strengthened the leg-climbing behavior:
I am bored and hungry.
A. Keeper appears in my enclosure
B. I climb her leg
Without changing anything, the climbing is likely to increase over time. And it did.
We think the climbing/biting is bad, but the porcupine is doing this behavior because there is a payoff. It is fun for a porcupine to DO something in order to get food. Instead of calling it "bad," we can call it "undesirable to the human."
So how do you change this undesirable behavior? Easy. Find out what you want the animal to do instead. Which behavior can the animal perform in order to receive the same payoff or better? Then, control the environment in order to make the new behavior more likely than the "bad" one by preventing the animal from doing the bad thing, while making the good behavior easy and rewarding.
I decided that the easiest solution would be to have Du Soleil come to a station at the front of the enclosure, as far as possible from the door. She cannot climb the keeper's feet AND stand nicely at station at the same time. By making "standing at station" highly rewarding, Du Soleil is set up for success.
I began by working with Du Solail through the enclosure fence, where she was unable to climb my legs. I taught her to touch the ball at the end of a target stick with her nose. This is called "targeting," a useful basic skill. I offered her the target ball, marked the moment she touched it with a click of my clicker, and gave her a piece of Rodent Chow pellet. She caught on very quickly, and soon was able to follow the target ball (or, as she called it, "The Orb of Riches") across the enclosure. Once she targeted reliably, I put a wooden T-station in her enclosure and lead her over with the target stick. Here she is following the target to her station:
I slowly faded the target stick and rewarded her for standing at station. By the end of the summer, I no longer used the target stick at all. All I had to do was show up, and Du Soleil sashayed over to her station to get her goodies.
The nuisance climbing was eliminated without causing the animal any distress. Instead, she got a valuable new Platform of Plenty from which to forage. Du Soleil was guaranteed her preferred reinforcer without having to waste time on chasing and climbing, which yielded fewer treats anyway. Zoo visitors were delighted to see her up close at the front of the enclosure in all her whiskery, snorting glory. And the keepers no longer had to run away from a charging porcupine.

This is a gif of some security footage of a guy trying to nonchalantly rob a bank in Shanghai with a meat cleaver while on the phone. This is an apt summation of what Shanghai was like for me: a city teeming with haves and have-nots, where people are both incredibly busy and incredibly lazy and looking to expend the least amount of effort to get the greatest possible gain. Just look at this dude. He obviously wants money for nothing, but he can't do that so he decides to rob a bank. But that takes so much planning and work, how about we get a weapon, flash it, and bob's your uncle, free money. It looks like this guy was watching one too many American sitcoms when he came up with this hare-brained scheme. He's Lucy calling his Ethel to tell her that the cleaver just ain't cutting it.
"Yeah, there's bulletproof glass everywhere. They're laughing at me. I told you we should have gotten a gun. Yeah, I know the glass is bulletproof, but this knife is fucking heavy and she's laughing. Ok, I think those are cops…. I should go...."
And there goes our failed, intrepid bank robber, going for his dream of the fast and easy life, the best way he knows how... the American Way.
I went over to Shanghai to work as an editor on a feature film. I was holed up in a hotel room for six weeks while the movie shot and everyday I had to assemble and sync all the dailies and then start cutting. It was a surreal experience having a suite in a mediocre hotel in a Shanghai suburb all to myself. Two weeks in, the mystique of being in China was over. By that point it felt like I was trapped in the biggest goddamn Chinatown I had ever been in in my life. Having grown up in America, I couldn't help but look around and on think to myself "holy shit, there is a shitload of Asians."
It was quite obvious that I wasn't a mainlander, but people couldn't quite wrap their heads around a guy with Korean parents who was born and raised in the U.S., so they mostly assumed I was a Taiwanese dude with too much testosterone, with my American swagger and non-funny clothes. Incidentally, there is a shitload of hookers everywhere, but not on the street like in the States. They hang out in shops that look like beauty parlors, but none of the women are getting made up. They just lie around wearing loose clothing.
Three weeks in, I was getting tired of the state-manufactured cigarettes that were cheaper than candy. It's a common gesture of politeness among Chinese dudes to offer you a cigarette and I didn't want to be rude, so I ended up chain-smoking. I started feeling gross and I then recalled that my friend had let me know of a place where I could score some hash.
Scoring hash in China where the penalty for drug possession was prison or potentially death? Fuck it, I'm in. This is why boredom is bad for me. In all fairness I did plenty of research, on the government-controlled Internet connection, of course, where porn and anti-government sentiments were also punishable by prison. But hey, webehigh.com said it was kosher, so I went all in.
I traveled to a Uighur restaurant in the city with a friend serving as translator. I met a kick-ass dude named Aniwar who was the host and resident musician at this restaurant. I will go on record and say that I was not impressed with any of the food in Shanghai except the Uighur food. My friend told me that because the Chinese population is so high, restaurants don't need to try that hard to make good food. They'll make their nut on the turnaround from rando customers alone. (It think it's this mentality that explains our bank robber friend's decision-making process above.)
Anyway, back to scoring hash. My friend asked Aniwar about the hash and he said to meet him in the stairwell. He asked how much and I said 20 bucks worth. He called a friend who delivered a block of hash that I'm sure was at least 10 grams. Yippee. I thanked everybody and took the train back out to the suburbs with a pocketful of contraband that could have ended up putting me in a bad place filled with dudes I could never understand. Instead, I smoked a shitload of doobs with my buddy in my hotel room and the mediocre catering I'd get every night never tasted so good. You had to mix the hash with tobacco and roll it up, Dutch style, since I didn't want the hassle of carrying around a pipe. A little later, I managed to find some weed from some Chinese rasta/hippie who owned a head shop in the city. The weed was shit, but it was something besides government tobacco.
I ended up going back to Aniwar a few more times and hung out with him for a bit. It was actually pretty sad, because the Chinese are by and large pretty racist toward the Uighur, so they can't really hang out anywhere besides their own restaurants. So that's what we ended up doing, going to another Uighur restaurant. We couldn't even blaze, even though I would do it openly at every other opportunity. Chinese people don't seem to recognize the smell of weed or hash, and people smoke everywhere. So I was walking around firing up joints all the time but Aniwar was paranoid that he would provoke suspicion, so we just drank at the other Uighur restaurant.
If anything, guys like Aniwar could be trying to rob banks, but they're a pretty chill bunch even though they are stereotyped as lazy criminals. The guy in the gif is not a Uighur, but he is a lazy criminal. I wouldn't ever trust that guy to help me score hash, he'd probably get us both executed.

From another in the video series on designers in their offices, Alber Elbaz, the creative director of Lanvin since 2001, explains the difference having an office makes in his working life and what he keeps in the closets in that Paris office. (The conversation has been edited and condensed.)
Q. How long have you been in this office?
A. I've been in this office for a year, and at Lanvin for 12 years. But in our last building, I gave my office to my assistant.
Q. Why did you decide to have an office now?
Well, when I started working with an architect on this building, I thought that I would take one window and one table. And all of a sudden it occurred to me, Why not? So I decided to have two tables and two windows and a little sofa, and only like this kind of dark, dark, dark brown, or dark gray, or dark black or light black — I don't know, I didn't define the color — walls, and it feels very good. I feel very loved in this office. The only thing I brought is that photograph that I found in Tel Aviv. It's of an authentic Orthodox wedding.
Q. Why that picture?
Many years ago when I became the designer at Yves Saint Laurent, I called my mom and I told her. And she said, "Oh." And I said, "Aren't you happy?" And she said, "There is only one thing that will make me happy, and that is for you to get married." So I bought this picture of the wedding and the bride, and the bride looks so miserable that every day I look at it when I come in and say, "Thank God I didn't get married."
Q. So what do you do in your office?
First of all, I put my bag down. I think it's very important to have a place to start the day and a place to put your bag.
Q. Where do you put your bag?
Never on the floor, because I'm superstitious. I was told that if we put money on the floor we lose money. I like to spend money, but I don't like to lose money. So I'm trying it on the little bench just here in the back.
Q. What else happens here?
I interview people here. I have my lunches here. I leave my team to have their moment, and I have my moment. I need that moment of isolation, because when we sit around I'm always expected to give all the answers, but I don't always have all the answers.
This is also a place where I meet people from the company when they need to tell me that they are leaving, or ask for a raise. This is my home here. I start like at 9, 9:15 in the morning. And I leave at 10, 11 o'clock at night. Even though during the week I'm in this room maybe in the morning for only like five minutes, and lunch 15, and maybe the end of the day if I have someone to see, another 15.
Q. Where are you the rest of the time?
We have the two areas where we work: one in front of the mirror, and one area a dining table of Jeanne Lanvin. I saw that table in the boutique one day many years ago, and there were some ties on it, and I said, "Can I have this table?" I feel always that I work more in the kitchen than in the living room or in the showroom anyway, so I thought, How symbolic, I'm working on her kitchen table.
With the mirror, I look with my eyes and I look with the mirror, and the mirror most of the times tell me different things than my eyes. So, who do I listen to? Who do I trust? Then I look at the photos of the clothes on the body. Then the mirror is no longer needed, but again the screen tells me different stories. So I have my eye, the mirror and the screen. And I realize more and more that what looks good on the screen never feels good on the body.
Q. Where did you find your desk?
It's another table that Jeanne Lanvin used to use, and we just lacquered it and repaired it, and I put a glass top to protect it because I always use colors and papers, and I eat here, so sometimes things spill all over.
Q. And do you work on the computer?
No. This is when they show me pictures. I don't tweet, and I don't Instagram, and I don't have an email address, and I don't drive. I bought a phone once because it looked so high-tech, but the only thing I do with it is the green button and the red button. I don't know how to use the rest of it.
Q. Is that why you have a pile of paper next to the computer?
These are my cards. I write notes to people and things that I have to do and things I have done. Every day I start with my to-do list: who do I have to call, who do I have to speak with, what do I have to say, what do I have to check? I do that, and I cross it off through the day.
Q. Do you have a special pen or a pencil?
Markers usually. Markers, pencils, colors, whatever I find around, though I'm not one of those that needs to have a specific paper, specific pencil held at a specific angle. It's not important.
When I start a collection, I always have a little book. It's not anything fancy or anything specific or fetishistic. This is where I do all my writing and do all my sketches — sometimes at 3 in the morning when I cannot sleep anymore, worrying that this is not going to be a good show, and what will I do, and I don't know what to do. I sketch and resketch.
Q. What's in the closets?
Everything I don't want to see: papers, chocolate — 100 percent cacao without any sugar — candles, maybe old sketches I'll find here and there, photos, carpets, a yoga mattress. Once I thought, Wow, it would be great to have a yoga teacher that should come at 6 o'clock to 7. Well, she came one time and no more, but I have the mattress.
Q. Do you keep the books in the closets?
No. At the end of the season, three or four days before the show, I give the book as a present to someone who was important for me during the last month and a half. And I tell them, "This is, maybe, one of the most difficult presents I give, because it's part of me, part of my life." I have to do that in order to start all over again. I give it with a bit of a tear in my eye, but it's not a tear that comes out, it's a tear that stays in. And I always say, "If I need it back, I'll come and ask for it." And they say, "O.K., we'll just keep it for you." And they do. And then I start a new book.

What Goes on at a CEF Photoshoot?
By Jaishree Narsih
Ever wonder what goes on behind the scenes of a CEF photoshoot? CEF collaborates with many different photographers and there is a lot of work that goes into producing a single photo shoot to yield the stock photos which are then posted on Getty Images. Kate Stevens, Creative Director at CEF, is here to give us a little bit of insight and take us behind the scenes of her role. She has been with CEF for five years doing editing and occasional art directing in the last seven months, has taken on the role of Creative Director.
Photoshoot days are hectic and there is a lot that needs to be done! The day starts with a quick run through with hair, makeup, and styling to outline expectations and setup for the day. While the models are getting ready, Kate runs through the shot list and expectations with the photographer and walks through the location to determine the best start setup. A lot of this planning is done well in advance of the photoshoot day; however, being flexible is very important. Many factors including lighting and weather can require switching up the shots to get the best results.
Here is an excerpt from Kate outlining some of the behind the scenes specifics:
"Once the photographer and team have the lighting set up I'd get the model/s on set and run through specific shot requirements. I would by this point have discussed with the photographer how they wish to direct the set...often too many directives and voices are confusing for the models. Some photographers find it easier to give direction than others. Ideally it is a collaborative process...you see the shot on the laptop (if they are shooting tethered) and you can immediately pick up on what needs adjusting or changing. Throughout the day your job is to make sure the shots are achieved and to keep the photographer moving on through the set-ups. You constantly keep an eye on the clock and need to be thinking one, two, three sets ahead to get styling and sets prepped to avoid long delays. I would usually get a copy of the day's shoot on hard drive before leaving."
This is only some of what goes on during a photoshoot – a large shoot requires a lot of planning and the better the planning, the stronger the shoot.
I asked Kate what she enjoys most about her role. She said that she enjoys it all "from putting together an overall production plan and budget, engaging photographers in projects, to putting briefs together, helping out on the shoots and the nuts and bolts of production...finding the right location, models and assembling a shoot crew! Seeing the results in editing is very rewarding."
Kate's biggest challenge is working with the fluidity. As mentioned in the above overview, planning and organizing a photoshoot requires many different aspects to come together and you always have to be flexible and adjust to any changes that may be required.
As CEF approaches its 10-year anniversary, we have a few interesting photoshoot prospects coming up! This includes a contemporary look at the workplace and business owner shoots featuring the actual owners and an environmental shoot which is in the early stages of planning. There are going to be shoots in Vancouver as well as Toronto, Montreal, and London with hopes to bring Los Angeles, New York, and Seattle into the mix as well. There are also preliminary talks to bring in and work with some new photographers – more on that as things get finalized! Steven Errico (Photographer), Amy Jones (Producer), Hero Images (photography team) and Julie Francoeur in Canada are fantastic shooters who contribute every year and make a huge difference to projects supported by CEF.

In the meantime…here's one of the ways I like to eat walnut butter — I think these Spinach Walnut Crostini will be great to serve over the holidays. To make them even more festive, I'm going to sprinkle some minced roasted red pepper on top to get that "red & green" thing going!
Spinach-Walnut Crostini
This popular Italian appetizer is made with toasted bread rounds that are usually rubbed with a cut clove of garlic and crowned with a savory topping. This recipe is from Nut Butter Universe by Robin Robertson © 2013.
3 garlic cloves
Olive oil
9 ounces fresh baby spinach, chopped
2 tablespoons walnut butter
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 baguette, cut into 1/2-inch-thickslices
2 tablespoons chopped toasted walnuts
2 tablespoons finely minced roasted red bell pepper or sun-dried tomato (for the holidays!)
Finely mince two of the garlic cloves and set aside. Cut the remaining garlic clove in half and set aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil or 1/4 cup of water in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the spinach, stirring to wilt. Stir in the walnut butter, red pepper flakes, and salt to taste, blending the walnut butter into the spinach, stirring until any remaining water is absorbed. Keep warm.
Preheat the oven to 400°F. Brush one side of each slice of bread lightly with olive oil. Place the bread, oiled side up, on a baking sheet and bake until golden brown, about 10 minutes. When the bread is toasted, remove it from the oven and rub the oiled side with the cut sides of the halved garlic clove.
Top each piece of bread with a small amount of the spinach topping. Sprinkle with chopped walnuts red bell pepper. Serve hot.
This Giveaway is Now Closed.

The Kmplayer v22.214.171.124 (Portable) | 98 Mb
The KMPlayer is a versatile media player which can cover various types of container format such as VCD, DVD, AVI, MKV, Ogg Theora, OGM, 3GP, MPEG-1/2/4, WMV, RealMedia, and QuickTime among others. It handles a wide range of subtitles and allows you to capture audio, video, and screenshots in many ways.The player provides both internal and external filters with a fully controlled environment in terms of connections to other splitters, decoders, audio/video transform filters and renderers without grappling with the DirectShow merit system. Internal filters are not registered to user's system to keep it from being messed up with system filters.
The KMPlayer includes almost all the essential decoders required for media playback. Furthermore, to get beyond the limitation of internal decoders, the external ones such as commercial h.264 decoders or cyberlink/intervideo audio decoders can be specified, so that KMP works optimally by the users' own customization. Even though the KMP is based upon directshow structure, it supports Winamp, Realmedia and Quicktime by the internal logic. Thus, it is possible to specify where to try to connect firstly the media in preferences.
The player can set multifarious audio and video effects, slow down or increase playback speed with regular tone, select parts of a video as favorites, do an exceptionally powerful A-B repeat, remap the keys of remote interface for HTPC including overlay screen controls, change a skin dynamically depending on a media type playing, and many more. It is completely customizable thanks to a wide selection of skins and color schemes, and the configuration options are extremely extensive.
KMPlayer developed by a South Korean engineer and is well known for stable engine and various features and used by millions of users every day. In order to develop the KMPlayer to the next level to accommodate growing needs from all over the world, Pandora TV, the largest video streaming company in Korea has acquired the technology including the source code and core engine for the KMPlayer from the original developer, Kang Yong-Huee on August, 2007.
KMP has required codecs built-in.
• Enjoy medias without installing codecs separately.
• KMP supports both built-in and 3rd party codecs.
• KMP's built-in codec is faster and reliable because it process internally.

• Through KMP's built-in codecs, you can enjoy all major media formats.
• KMP additionally supports 3rd party codecs for users that doesn't use the built-in codec and also doesn't install the codecs on the computer like other codecs do. Most public codec packs+players forces to install the codec on your computer, while KMP does not. This means that installing KMP will not affect your computer at all.
Correction of corrupted files
• AVI format originally have problems when trying to view corrupted files.
• KMP therefore supports various methods to play AVI files. First, KMP utilizes the 'AVI Splitter'. Minor corrupted AVI files can be viewed through previous versions of AVI Splitter.
• If it still doesn't play, KMP will utilize the 'AVI Source Filter' for playback. The built-in 'AVI Source Filter' analyses AVI files and plays by skipping bad frames.
• If it still doesn't play through the above methods, it will utilize the RealMedia engine to play the corrupted AVI files.
Various File Format Support & Hardware Support
• KMP is based on DirectShow so it supports almost all Windows Media formats.
• KMP also supports Winamp, RealMedia, QuickTime, Flash(SWF) through KMP's ground-up technology.
