Helen Clark: Statement on International Volunteer Day (IVD)Dec 5, 2015
Every year on International Volunteer Day (IVD), we recognize the invaluable contributions of volunteers to peace and development. This year, just two months after the launch of the new, universal development agenda, we promote the special role which UN Volunteers and volunteers worldwide will play in the implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
The SDGs will guide development for the next fifteen years, offering a chance to meet the global citizenry's aspirations for a more peaceful and prosperous, and sustainable future.
The SDGs are universal goals, applying to countries at all stages of development. This makes the point that sustainable development in the 21st century isn't something which happens to somebody else, somewhere else. We all have a stake in it -- and every country has work to do to progress towards it.
The design of these goals was influenced by people from all walks of life, including through their votes in the MY World survey on priorities for the new development agenda. This campaign incorporated more than 8.5 million people's voices from 194 countries, and engagement was made possible by community volunteer efforts. UN Volunteers reached out to vulnerable groups in India, marginalized people living in camps in Haiti, hearing-impaired youth in Rwanda, and communities in Bangladesh, Cote d'Ivoire, DRC, Kazakhstan, the Philippines, Sudan, and beyond.
Now, as we seek ways for the new agenda to take root, volunteerism can be a help in the implementation of these new goals by reaching those who are marginalized and engaging people who may otherwise not have a chance to make a difference in their communities. In this way volunteers can embody the underlying principle of the goals to leave no one behind.
UNV has a strong track record of getting development results. In Kenya, UNV supported a neighborhood volunteer scheme to help ensure peaceful elections. In India, UN Volunteers set up a programme for children with special needs.
Today, on International Volunteer Day 2015, I want to thank all the volunteers who contributed to shaping the new development agenda, and to encourage you to continue to provide inspiration for the change the world needs. I also recognize the tremendous impact UN Volunteers are making within the UN system. In implementing the SDGs, UNDP will continue to see volunteers as catalysts for change who amplify citizens' voices and facilitate participation so that development can be truly people-centred.

Education Office may face closure
By Lakshmana Rao
The Undergraduate Association's Executive Committee spent seven hours on Sunday discussing the possible dissolution of the Undergraduate Education Office.
"We heard that there are plans to make the UEO function under the Office of the Dean for Student Affairs and to make the Dean for Student Affairs take over the charges of the Dean of Undergraduate Education," said Undergraduate Association President Stacy E. McGeever '93.
According to McGeever, ExecCom feels that the UEO should put more emphasis on teaching at MIT. "The UEO is undergoing a major reorganization at the present stage and we are concerned about the future directions taken by the office," she added.
An assistant to Provost Mark S. Wrighton said he is out of the country this week.
"We are in the middle of a process and the decisions are not yet in their final form," said Dean for Student Affairs Arthur C. Smith. He refused to comment further on the issue of his additional charge.
Associate Provost Samuel J. Keyser said "We are still tossing a few ideas around and no final decision has been made as yet."
The post of dean of undergraduate education remained vacant following the death of Margaret L. A. MacVicar '65 in September 1991. "Ever since her death, various officers in the UEO were carrying out their individual responsibilities, even in the absence of a dean," said Leslie C. Perelman, assistant dean for undergraduate education.
Student concern focuses
on new appointees
Students were more concerned about the nature of the appointees to the new offices than the nature of the proposed organizational changes.
Existing programs may be upset by any reorganization, said UA Floor Leader Hans C. Godfrey '93. "MacVicar initiated so many programs that have helped student education on campus. We are concerned that these programs are not jeopardized in any way in the future. However, Smith has been an excellent dean and we are confident that he will do the right things if he is given the additional charge of undergraduate education," Godfrey added.
The creation of an unmanageably large office concerns other UA officers. "Combining [the UEO and ODSA] would result in one huge office which may be difficult to administer. We have to consider the possibility that Smith may retire one day and then things may be completely different with the new person," said J. Paul Kirby '93, UA vice president.
McGeever said it is desirable to have the UEO function under the ODSA. However, she said, "a lot depends on the details of the merger and we cannot comment on the effectiveness of the merger unless the details are spelled out clearly."
Godfrey said the UEO should focus on the overall emphasis of undergraduate education rather than working on the details of specific programs. "The General Institute Requirements for the completion of the undergraduate degree must be re-examined to evaluate the type of undergraduate education MIT would be offering to its students," Godfrey said.

Never eat beans the night before a 10 miler.
Later in the day when the stomach settled the B man and I decided to go skiing as it was such a nice day (minus 11 celcius!!). He bought these skis used 10 years ago but only got around to rebinding them last month. We probably would have spent less money if we bought a new pair of skis (rebinding is ridiculously expensive) but I liked the idea of using these old beauties.

Statement on American Airlines/US Airways Agreement
Published 12 Nov, 2013
Contact: Jamie Horwitz
(202) 549-4921, firstname.lastname@example.com
Statement by Transport Workers Union of America
Air Transport Director Garry Drummond
The Settlement between American Airlines, US Airways and the U.S. Department of Justice
We're pleased that an agreement between American Airlines, US Airways and the Department of Justice has been reached. The DOJ's actions in recent weeks were the equivalent of hitting a pause button on workers' wages, benefits and job security.
Today's announcement will allow TWU members at American Airlines to gain long-delayed raises. Negotiations for our members at US Airways have been in limbo as a result of the DoJ's actions, those talks can now move forward. We also can begin to move forward on working out final details related to combining the two airlines' work groups.
As a result of today's announcement, the merger will now move forward, but many critical details related to airline workers remain to be addressed. We're not done yet.

Updated: 12/01/2017
Cabbie Michele Berti has pulled rank on his fellow drivers by taking delivery of London's first, all-new Mercedes-Benz Vito Taxi.
Michele, who passed the famous London Knowledge test 17 years ago, collected his third consecutive Vito cab from sole supplying Dealer S & B Commercials.
The new model is impressively nimble, thanks to its Compact length and an updated version of the innovative steering rear axle employed in previous Vito variants. This allows it to meet the famous 25ft turning circle rule prescribed by Transport for London, so it can execute U-turns in the capital's congested streets.
The Vito Taxi offers unrivalled levels of space and refined, air-conditioned comfort for the driver and up to six passengers. Standard equipment includes electrically-operated sliding doors and steps on both sides; it is also fully accessible for wheelchair users.
(Pictured) City slicker: Michele Berti's Flint Grey Mercedes-Benz Vito Taxi wears optional wheel trims, a chrome grille and wind deflectors
The vehicle's advanced Euro 6 engine transmits its 136 hp output via a smooth, seven-speed 7G-TRONIC PLUS automatic gearbox. Additional fuel-saving BlueEFFICIENCY measures such as the engine Start/Stop function also contribute to the London Vito Taxi's impressive economy, while its low-emission credentials translate into highly attractive Vehicle Excise Duty (VED) road tax rates.
The Vito's many attributes are certainly not lost on Michele, who lives in Langdon Hills, near Basildon, Essex, and clocks-up approximately 35,000 miles a year working mainly in The City and West End, sometimes for ComCab London.
"I rented a traditional black cab for a few weeks before my new taxi arrived, and reckon it was costing me £70 a week more in diesel than my previous Vito," he said. "Yet the new model is even more fuel-efficient than its predecessor!"
He continued: "I'd never go back to an old-style cab because the Vito is a better vehicle for this job in every respect. As well as being more economical it is also a lot more reliable and in a different league when it comes to comfort – there's none of the bone-jarring ride and heavy steering you'll find in other taxis, which can take a real toll by the end of a 12-hour shift.
"The passengers love it too, of course, and there's no problem when it comes to recognition – people in London know all about the Vito taxi now. For my money it's also the most stylish cab on the market. I've specified mine with optional wheel trims, chrome grille and wind deflectors, and it looks fantastic."
Michele, whose father is Italian, ran his first Vito for four years and his second for three. His latest taxi is the subject of a flexible Agility agreement from Mercedes-Benz Financial Services. Agility offers all the benefits of hire purchase with a balloon payment, including low monthly outgoings, but provides customers with a range of options at the end of the term.
Michele has signed-up to a cost-effective Service Plan, under which the vehicle will be maintained at S & B Commercials' workshop in West Thurrock. Like all Vito Taxi owners, he also benefits from the peace of mind that comes with a three-year, unlimited mileage manufacturer's warranty and MobiloVan back-up, which includes free, round-the-clock emergency roadside assistance.
Added Michele: "S & B's Taxi Sales Consultant Stuart Atkinson was very helpful in arranging the attractive finance package, while the Dealer provides first class after sales support."
The first Vito Taxi was introduced in 2008, since when more than 3,000 examples had been sold. The new model is available exclusively from S & B Commercials, priced from £168 a week with nil deposit*.
S & B's Stuart Atkinson said: "With all of the intensive testing that's been carried out the Euro 6 Vito Taxi was a long time coming but it's certainly been worth the wait. We have a lengthy list of orders from London cabbies who can't wait to get behind the wheel of a vehicle that's a genuine game-changer."

As part of our offer on the new house, we included a brief little letter to the homeowner just to say, "hello" and "this is who we are" etc., hoping that it would turn us into people and not just a dollar amount written on a bunch of legal paper. Our realtor had recommended we do it since there was more than one offer and my mother said that she had really enjoyed getting these letters when she had sold her last house in South Minneapolis.
So we were like, okay, let's do it! Anything that can help, right?
Here's a copy of the letter we sent.
And, surprisingly, we got a letter in return! Our realtor was so surprised, he said he's never had a seller write a letter back. But we were thrilled to have it and it makes us just love the house even more. Here's the letter we were given.
Isn't that sweet? 69 years! What an awesome little history behind the home we hope to call ours in just a few short weeks!
Oh and for those of you who missed it, this was a little peak into the awesomeness that is our darling little retro house! Shag carpet, wood paneling and some pretty awesome vintage light fixtures.
Has this happened to anyone else? Do you have some interesting history in your home? We're just waiting on the final report from the inspector that went through last night (holy shamoley was it hot!) and then we'll be discussing options for updates and renovations! All the while of course holding our breath until closing day!

Discovering the complexities of port wine
August 12, 2015
Wine and food pairings can be like speed dating.
However …
"Port and cheese, done right, is an excellent marriage," said Pollyanna Forster, of Eat! Drink! in Edwards.
Forster and Peter Scott, of Premium Port Wines, talked about some of the finer points of the two at the Port & Cheese Pairing, one of the events at the Beaver Creek Wine & Spirits Festival, held Aug. 7-9.
"Port and blue cheese are a legendary combination," Scott said.
That's because …
Recommended Stories For You
"Cheese is one of the sexiest foods," Forster said.
Moovin' milk
Cheese, Forster explained, was invented as a way to move milk from one place to another before refrigeration and before preservatives.
There are four kinds: soft, semi-soft, semi-hard and hard, and all the milk comes from cows, goats and sheep.
"I don't look like Kate Moss because I eat cheese every single day," she said smiling.
There are a couple things you should know. For one, good cheddar is not orange. That's a coloring agent. Forster said.
Also, Forster eats about two burgers a year. If you put cheese on your burger, make sure you cleanse your palate with a sip of something — soda, water, whatever you want — so you can taste what's going on in there.
The same basic principle applies to port and cheese.
Taste a little port, taste a little cheese, go back and forth, then taste them together.
Also, get your nose down in that glass and take a good, long sniff. That tells you as much as your taste buds will, or more, Forster said.
"You can taste four things with your mouth. You can sense hundreds, maybe thousands of things with your nose," Forster said.
Forster has been sipping port since she was a kid, when her grandfather let her dunk her little finger in his glass.
Port is about 20 percent alcohol — that's why you won't be surprised to learn that as the pairing event went on, the crowd grew happier and more conversant.
Air in the bottle is the enemy of wine, we learned, and one guy asked how long a bottle will last after it's opened.
The technical answer is that it can last weeks, Scott said.
"My flippant answer is that it lasts about 20 minutes," Scott joked.
Port people
W&J Graham's Port was established in 1820 and is owned by the Graham family. Seven cousins run the place these days. The patriarch got into the port wine business when the bank he was working for in England went bust. He migrated to Portugal and put banking behind him forever.
There's only one small place in this big wide world where port grapes are grown and where port wine is made — Oporto, Portugal's Upper Douro Valley. It's high, rocky, rugged terrain. That's it. Anywhere else is a pretender to the throne.
If something works, you stick with it, and the fundamentals for making port haven't changed in centuries, Scott said.
Port has been foot treaded in granite vats, a method now used mostly for small specialty batches. These days they use stainless steel robots that replicate the action of the human foot.
Fermentation is stopped at about 36 hours. After that the wine ages in oak casks until it's ready for bottling.
A vintage port is made from the best grapes of a single year and happens about three times in a decade, Scott said. Their last one was 2011. There was one in 1994 and 1977, and a few in between.
That 2011 vintage was named the No. 1 wine by Wine Spectator.
Since port tends to be a sweeter wine, it pairs well with rich cheeses (think blue or wash-rind), chocolate and caramel desserts or even sweet, smoked meats. For a summer version, try a ruby port, served slightly cool.

Markham & Smith - what do our customers say?
We take pride in customer service and satisfaction. It is important that our customers leave feeling happy. Take a look at what some of our satisfied customers have said about their experience with us here at Markham & Smith.
For more customer reviews please visit motorcodes
Amazing service from Mike when I took my car in for a service, I was kept informed of everything throughout the day and he was so friendly when I dropped it off/picked it up. I had previously had a bit of a problem with the engine temperature gauge which they also had a look at and explained fully to me - even saving me money in the end. I can't praise Mike and the rest of the team enough, everyone was super friendly and helpful right from the word go. I've already recommended the garage to a coworker for her service :-)
I have used this garage for approx. 8 years for my Car and my Campervan. My Campervan, the subject of this survey, is nearly 30 years old and can be a challenge in sourcing parts. This challenge has always been met. I am treated with courtesy and always kept informed as to progress during the course of a repair. The work is of a very high quality. I have been driving for 45 yrs+ and this is the first garage that I have experienced which I can genuinely state gives me absolute confidence in the work carried out, the resolution of problems and the fairness of their pricing. These are the reasons that I return to them year after year.
Very good and friendly service. This local garage makes me feel valued as a customer and I've never had any cause to complain about the standard of work.
After failing an MOT Markham & Smith were recommended by Kwik Fit (Witham) to carry out the welding repair work. The Jason managed to schedule the work in at very short notice. The estimates provided were accurate and the repair work was completed to a very satisfactory level. The customer service provided by Jason & Matthew was very good. I will definitely use Markham & Smith again in the future.
I have now been using Markham & Smith since 2009 for both of my vehicles. Their service is excellent and they are competatively priced. The staff are personal and welcoming and remember you which cannot be said for many other places. I highly recommend Markham & Smith and look forward to using them again next year.
They are always quick to help, honest and put the customer first. They also give you options for most repairs which helps makes you feel they don't want to rip you off like some other garages. Plus they even cleaned my filthy car!

Feeling Better...sort of
I've left the negative behind me. Now all I have t0 do is quit going back to pick it up.
This post is a lot of tiny, random things that have been preying on my mind for a while. Feel free to share your thoughts about any and all. I looooooove comments.
1. Does a toddler in a car seat really count for the carpool lane? I've been told yes, but I still feel weird about it. It feels a lot like obeying the letter of the law, but not the spirit. And I'm not sure I believe the peron who told me yes. She's gotten a LOT of tickets.
And why don't I have the same reservations about using the carpool lane with my eleven year old in the car?
2. Is anyone else annoyed by showers? Not the daily, wet kind. The bridal/baby variety. I thought I was free from showers while pregnant with Missy HooHaw. After all, she was my second. Not so! I was forced (so NOT kidding) to have two showers and while I appreciate that people want to celebrate a new life and all, the idea of showers makes me a little uneasy. I feel like I'm telling people, "Hey, I decided to get knocked up, so give me stuff." This doesn't sit well with me. Especially for a second,third, fourth, etc. child. And now people want me to have another!
I don't mind going to other peoples showers. Not my favorite thing to do, but I'll bring a gift and play silly games. And smile.
3. Why is a sleeper with oatmeal down the front of it irritating and a party dress with cupcake frosting everywhere freakin' adorable?
4. Why do preteen boys turn everything, including milk consumption, into a competition?
5. I love when student says something inadvertantly funny and the entire class, including the student and I laugh until we cry. Even sweeter is when I am the butt of the joke and my students realize I can laugh at myself. Teachable moment + comic relief = priceless.
I do a vocabulary exercise every week where I say the word then point to the class and they say the word. They have to wait for the point though. One of my students was helping a new kid learn the ropes and told him to watch, I was going to give them the finger. "You have to wait until Mrs. A gives you the finger." We laughed for three minutes straight. My mascara even ran a little. Even now, it makes me giggly.
6. What kind of crack do they put in Girl Scout cookies? 6 boxes, people, and I didn't even leave a crumb behind.
7. Is it the same crack they put in the cheesecake with caramal and chocolate ganache at Macaroni Grill? Cause, dang! I had soup and that YUMMY bread for dinner, then mowed down 3/4 of a piece of cheesecake. The soup was great, the bread,as I said before,yummy, but the cheesecake? Oh My Gawd.
8. I get enormous satisfaction from recommending a book to a child that they wind up loving. I'll be giving one of my eighth graders a copy of Margaret Haddix's Among the Hidden because when we read it as a class, last year, he loved it so much he read the other four books from my library, bought the fifth at a book fair and got really excited when the sixth was in a book order form. He and I met at lunch once a week and discuss the book he's reading. I'm going to miss that.
9. I hate it when authors kill off a central character that is beloved by the readers. Yeah, Rowling, I'm talking to you! I love though, that it provokes an hour long discussion with my daughter, who read the entire Harry Potter series,1-6, in two weeks.
Remind you of anyone, Jennyonthe spot? (Hey look! My first link!!!!!)
10. That leads to my last bit. Friends re precious. People come and go in our lives. Dear friends disappear, because life intrudes and it's hard to pick up the phone or log onto the computer. But my husband works with his childhood friend every day and we are raising our children together. What a gift. Jenny, I know that distance separates us, but you are in my thoughts daily and I miss you.
Okay, I'm done. Thanks for listening. Comment. I like hearing your thoughts on things.

Do you find yourself in situations where you want to make profound changes, seize opportunities to do something great yet for some reasons that some people might see as excuses, you can't seem to make them happen? Or rather friends tell you about these great ideas that they have for a business, want to start a blog, just want to make a change in their lives almost every time you meet. Still you never see these ideas manifest into realities.
As they are telling you their ideas and plans you can see and feel the passion and you think to yourself "wow! If they get things going, there is no telling what will happen next" they have sold it to you right there and then. Because you have your own dreams you want to make come true, you are getting pumped up from their energy and enthusiasm. You suddenly think if you start talking about your ideas with conviction just like they have done, and maybe do some research here and there, also tell more people about it; lots and lots of people, then you just might be able to make it. For some bizarre reason, you believe that just telling people is enough to make it happen, and of course you enjoy the insignificant pride you get when they tell you how ambitious you are.
This had been my life until recently. Sometimes I was the listener but many a time the passionate talker. Going on about what I wanted to do all the time. I would have said at the time, that I didn't know how and where to start, probably would have said, it comes down to who you know. The truth of the matter is I didn't even begin. Wanting to do something but not being able to make it happen can sometimes be one of the hardest things to come to terms with, and so I am over the moon to have been able to change that for myself.
I have amazing friends of whom I am extremely thankful to God for. They are incredibly talented and ambitious to say the least. They all have great things going for them, 80% of them have graduated from university and I have no doubt that in a year or two, I will see these guys being the top Clinical Psychologist, Speech and Language therapist, Scientists, Lawyers, Architecture amongst others. What I like is that we all have got these creative needs we want to fulfil. We love to do creative stuff outside our studies so much so that it becomes more than hobbies. Some are dancers, poets, model and aspiring fashion designers. We want to do well in these areas alongside studying for our degrees. Unfortunately some of us just couldn't make it happen. I was so happy when I heard that my friends had help organised a spoken word poetry event and had actually performed. The longs chats in cafes and university halls about ideas had actually been realised. The model has been doing more photoshoots, the dancers keep on performing; come rain or shine to tell their stories through dance and to put smiles on people's faces. The aspiring designers including yours truly have started sharing our creation. I will share with you what my friend has been working on, would love your support.
Finally, I have achieved making the dream a reality. I have always wanted to design my own clothing collecting. After many attempt to get closer to the dream, from designing few pieces for fashion shows to helping out on fashion events. It's finally happening, I am walking the talk. It has been a long time coming.
Although it hasn't been easy and it's still hard getting things going, I would encourage you to make that first step to your dream. It won't be easy along the way, it might not even work out, but you will be glad you did. If it's something you really enjoy, I doubt you would look back once you make that first step. I am still at the beginning stages of lunching my t-shirt line, I will updates relevant thing here, just to show the products and also things that might be useful to those of you who want to start your own business, especially clothing business. It's helpful when you know the right people and where to go for help. I have learnt it the hard way but I'm more than happy to share!!

He Pin coffee shop is located near Jalan 51/200. The stall opened daily from 7.30am till 3pm This is a well-known landmark among both the factory workers and white-collar folk in the area. The pan mee was garnished with minced pork, deep-fried anchovies and some spinach. If you love meat, you can ask the lady to add more minced meat, but this will jack up its price to RM6 a pop. The sambal dip that came with the pan mee gave it the extra "kick".

Shorty Wetsuit
Shorty wetsuit, or springsuit as some people call it, is a wetsuit that covers the torso and has short legs and sleeves. The basic function of a shorty wetsuit, or any wetsuit for that matter, is to provide warmth and buoyancy. It will also protect you from sea hazards like jellyfish stings, sharp corals, sunburn, and more. The thickness of shorty wetsuits is usually between 1 and 3mm, most of them are 2mm thick. The torso area is usually a bit thicker than the sleeves.
Uses Of Shorty Wetsuits
Shorty wetsuits or springsuits are made from neoprene or similar material that provides both insulation and elasticity. They are designed for use in warmer waters and are very suitable for water sports like surfing, snorkeling, swimming, kayaking, windsurfing, diving, and more. Scuba divers can also wear short wetsuits, but only in tropical waters or shallower, shorter dives.
Because springsuits are less restrictive and more comfortable to wear than full body wetsuits, they are ideal for water recreational activities. They are flexible and offer more natural freedom of movement.
What to look for when buying
When buying a shorty wetsuit you should always go for quality. Cheaper products are generally made of lower quality neoprene and won't last very long. In general, the higher the price, the better the quality.
Choose the thickness of the springsuit based on the temperature of the water it will be used in. The colder the water, the thicker you want your wetsuit. Another important factor is fit. If it's too loose, you will be cold, if it's too tight, it will constrict your movement or even breathing. You want a snug fit.

Maveriqs Profile - Alejandro Ramirez - Founder, Fiesta Ziesta
By Lamin Turay
The dictionary defines the word handmade as, "Made by hand not by machine, and typically therefore of superior quality." This is not only one of the unique aspects of Alejandro Ramirez's company's products, but also of himself as an entrepreneur. Alejandro's life journey has made him into the entrepreneur who he is today. From learning the ins and outs of the lifestyle product industry at large corporations, to spending time studying international business in foreign countries, he has tread a positive path toward creating something of his own. Now, as the Founder of Fiesta Ziesta, a lifestyle goods company, he continues to follow that path and drive his company toward an admirable purpose for all those involved. I recently spoke with Alejandro about how his journey began and what sets his company apart from all the other lifestyle brands out there. Here's what he had to say...
What does your company Fiesta Ziesta do, and what problem do you solve?
We manufacture handmade beach blankets, ponchos, and dog collars. All of our products are individually crafted by local artisans in Mexico. The problem that we solve for our customers is providing quality goods for the beach and outdoor lifestyle market. That lifestyle in particular, is ripe for disruption. We wish to inject commodities and accessories that possess really well crafted design, and that are sourced from skilled craftsman. That's the motivation behind the beach blankets, ponchos, and dog collars we provide.
Our artisans are located in various locations across Mexico. Some of them are from Oaxaca, some are from Chiapas, and others are located in multiple areas of South Mexico. Each of them have specific skills. Some will manufacture the beach blankets, while others create our ponchos and dog collars.
What is unique about your approach to business that has made you a successful entrepreneur?
I originally came up with the idea for Fiesta Ziesta while thinking about the products that I was constantly using when I traveled in Mexico and around the world. They were something very natural that I would consistently have with me. When I used to go surfing I'd carry a beach blanket, and maybe a hammock as well. I'd also have a collar for my dog. At night I'd always whip out my Mexican poncho to keep me warm while near the ocean breeze. I thought about developing a brand that provided the same lifestyle I had grown accustomed to, while offering purpose-built products. I wanted to make sure the products were being created by skilled artisans, from sustainably sourced materials, and that they were of the highest level of quality.
In school I studied International business, and worked for many years with different brands at their retail locations. In the early days of my professional career I worked for electronics companies like IBM and Siemens, where I gained a lot of experience in planning, buying, production, and sourcing. I also worked for Quiksilver, and for a friend of mine's company called Everyday California. I was highly valued there due to being bilingual. That was great experience, and also drove me to want to start my own business.
After gaining that experience how did you get your initial start with entrepreneurship?
When I was younger I always wanted to work for a big corporation in order to gain experience, learn business curriculum, and use that as a solid reference. However, in my late twenties I felt like it was time to get back into school and gain another degree so that I could leverage that knowledge and use it in starting something of my own. It's been two years since I began, and i still feel like I'm learning everyday.
Before I started my own brand I had moved to San Diego to support my friend in building his company, Everyday California. Working for another company, making good money, and being in that corporate environment is starkly different than entrepreneurship. I'm currently doing most everything on my own with the help of a very small team now. You learn a lot, you sacrifice a lot, and you work even harder when it's your own. I think it's something that will pay off, but I have to remain patient.
Describe why you decided to create this type of company and not something else?
I always wanted to live close to the ocean, and I've always used these types of products when I venture out to the beach or just going on outdoor adventures. So it's kind of always been in my mind that I should create a brand, and live the dream! (laughs). That's what I'm attempting to do. I love the products. They're something that have been in my family and my background. They're something very natural that I use everyday.
I decided that I should create my own brand and produces the same products that I use in my personal experiences. The goal is to make products that are better than what's currently available in the market.
Another factor was the fact that I studied International Business while in an undergraduate program in Mexico, and that Mexico and The United States have a free trade agreement. I also learned a lot more while pursuing my master's degree at a university in Sydney, Australia. The information I absorbed from those activities are things that crossed my mind when developing the idea for the company, and that motivated me to get started.
Has travel affected the way you go about your business?
Yes! I think that through traveling and working with people in other countries or from other cultures you learn a whole lot. Creating a brand that encompasses elements of my own culture and nature has been made a lot easier knowing that I've experienced various differing cultures across the globe. It's something inspired by my experiences traveling, the interesting individuals that I've come across, and products that I've enjoyed using.
Traveling and being exposed to different beach scenes in the United States, Mexico, and Australia I've seen a lot of beach and outdoor lifestyle products. One of the things I noticed upon returning home was a market opportunity to create a brand that brings all of these products together under a quality banner. I saw a lot of beach blankets with no brand, or beach blankets from Mexico that were cheaply made with poor materials. There needed to be a brand that people could rely on for well-made goods. So I came up with that brand.
How has pursuing your entrepreneurial journey changed your life?
It's changed a whole lot! I fell at the beginning when I was getting my start. It felt like I was pushing the "reset" button on my life. A lot of sacrifices were made. Especially when it came to budget. You learn a lot. I've met, and I'm still meeting a lot of people. It's all part of the process. You absolutely have to work hard, and be busy. I'll add that you should work smart, and be patient as well. Those things will keep you in the game. I know that all of the hard work will pay off. It's been two year so far. We're getting better and better everyday. Keeping yourself motivated I think is one of the biggest challenges all entrepreneurs face. You are your own boss and must be positive and motivate yourself every single day...no matter what!
What initial challenges did you face in going from a safe and secure corporate job into starting your own company?
Capitol was an issue at first. I used my savings and had to acquire a family loan as well. You're usually limited when you first start out. Before, when I was working for other people, I had a steady and consistent income. I knew how much I could spend and on what. Now it's much more defined and budget-based. That's one of the more explicit challenges up front. It's one of the reasons that I'm developing a Kickstarter campaign for my products.
All that said, I believe it's (Fiesta Ziesta) going to be a successful business, and the Kickstarter campaign will be a successful project. Once it all starts to pay back in beneficial ways it will all be worth the effort. It will be even better than the safe route of being an employee.
When I worked for other corporations like IBM Computers and Siemens Electronics I didn't feel like the scenario I was meant to be in. I saw how they'd fire some of their older employees, people in their 50's or 60's, to make room for younger, less-expensive workers. I thought to myself, "I don't want to be like these guys." That also pushed me to start my own business, and to offer opportunities to a diverse workforce.
What's something unique about you as an entrepreneur that you wish more people knew?
That's an interesting question. I think it's a combination of my cultural background, the companies where I've worked, and the way I go about accomplishing tasks. I'm pretty organized and a hard worker. When it's time to work I work, and when it's time to party and be with friends I know how to manage that balance. I know how to manage my time and budgets effectively as well. That's a crucial component of running your own business.
My skills, background, experience, travels, being bilingual, and my attention to detail all help to create my superpower. I'm very involved in all facets of my business. I work close with our artisans and explain how we can make products better. I sit down with them and map out designs. That's something which is very fulfilling as the business owner. Getting involved and working with everyone in the company is a must for me. I know that's not so common. Some people like to be more hands-off and delegate, but that's just not me. I need to be incorporated in all of the challenges and business channels at Fiesta Ziesta.
How have you overcome adversity in being an entrepreneur?
I'm not afraid to raise my hand and ask for help. I also ask for advice and feedback from friends who have their own business. I go to meetups as well. Within all of these methods is the ability to listen to other people and learn about their experiences as well as their failures. I am able to absorb that information and use it help grow my own company. I don't like to be quiet when things are not working. I like to share what's going on, learn from the current state of things, and move forward.
What's some of the best advice you have received about entrepreneurship?
Be patient, work hard and smart, talk to others and learn from them, read a lot, and watch a lot of videos. Always be learning. Something that I see as the most important thing is to believe in yourself and in your dream. If you don't believe in yourself you're screwed. You have to have a stubbornness that drives you to accomplish what you've set out to do. Those are some things that I've come to understand, and I'm always trying to keep them in mind. I meditate everyday, and remain strong.
You also have to motivate yourself as the leader of your business. You have to be the one who is showing strength to your employees and partners. You also need to maintain a positive outlook in order to make it all happen. Even when it seems like it's not going be the greatest of days, you still want to exude positivity. It takes time to learn all of these things as well. I've been told many times that it takes a lot of time to develop your entrepreneurial skills, and it's true. You need to be patient and enjoy the journey. That's what I try to do. Take it day-by-day and step-by-step.
How do you maintain your industry knowledge and self-educate?
I like to go to meetups. I like to go to trade shows. Sometimes I'll meet with people who work in the companies that I used to work in, and I'll listen to what they have to say about what's going on at these large corporations. I like to know what's going on at the large department stores as well. What are they selling, who are they partnering with and why.
Reading is also very important. I like to read the newspaper or relevant articles on the internet. I always want to know what's going on in the industry. What are my competitors doing to get ahead? I need to know these things to have a pulse on my space.
What does the future hold for you as an entrepreneur? Where are you focusing your energy moving forward?
Right now most of my passion and energy is focused on the project that is Fiesta Ziesta. I want to make it happen! To help it grow and bring more people on board. Hiring more artisans and generating enough demand for my artisans to maintain full-time work for this company. We'll continue to create products that are handmade and support the artisans that we source from. Eventually we'll be donating ten percent of our net profits toward education opportunities for the artisans that we partner with. They help us develop our brand and our products, so we should be able to help them grow and prosper outside of just pay for their labor. It's a worthy cause that I choose to champion.
The world is changing. More people are thinking about corporate social responsibility. Things like global warming, sustainable materials and jobs, and fair labor practices are all prominent issues. I want my company to represent a brilliant example of how things should be done.
What's the best advice you can offer to someone who wants to build a brand like Fiesta Ziesta?
First you need to gain some experience. Work for a couple or a few companies in your industry of choice. Learn the ins and outs of how these larger companies operate. Once you have a base understanding of business, do not hesitate to chase your dream. You have to try it at least. It doesn't matter if you're successful or not. You're going to learn, you're going to get experience, you're going to get some great contacts. You HAVE to try! Otherwise you're going to grow old and be filled with regret, thinking about what could have been if you had tried. If you try and it doesn't work out at least you can say that you learned how not to do it. Believe, try, and work as much as you can.

Many things go into being a high performing athlete ("high performance" will be different for everybody), but eating a well-balanced diet is high on the list. I am a pretty healthy eater (excluding dessert) and I really notice that my body feels different when my diet lacks proper nutrients.
I'm on an overnight oats kick right now…
1/2 cup of oatmeal
1 cup of almond milk
Top with cinnamon
Store in the fridge overnight.
Before eating, add granola, nuts, fruit, etc. Enjoy!
For lunch, I've been having veggies and grilled chicken drizzled with some honey Dijon dressing.
My dinner last night was so good…ok, it looks gross so I'll delete the picture, but it was super tasty. It was white long grain rice topped with black bean and vegetable soup topped with guacamole. 🙂
Let's just pretend I don't end every night like this.
Today's track workout felt pretty good and I know that my healthy oatmeal breakfast helped my legs move faster. 🙂
I cut the RI (rest intervals) short and finished in about an hour. For each 400 (quarter of a mile) I ran at an 8.9 (6:44 per mile) speed on the treadmill. My 2 warm up miles were at an 8:35 pace and my cool down mile was at an 8:00 pace.
It feels good to have the tempo and speed runs done for the week and now just easy runs and the long run are left. 18 miles scheduled for Saturday morning!
What is you favorite healthy breakfast?
Random Question: broccoli or cauliflower?

Our Strategy
The poor are often unorganized and do not possess the capacity, skills and confidence to benefit from the project as much as the non-poor. The poor would need to be mobilized, capacitated and organized in order to realize and sustain the expected positive impacts of the project. In order to address this issue, CEAPRED adopts a three-pronged program strategy consisting of (i) social mobilization (ii) capacity development, and (iii) local institution building.
Social mobilization helps generate confidence and collective strength among the poor to identify their development problems, potentials and priorities, and this sets the ground for planning and implementing the project activities as part of their development priorities. The second element – capacity development – is about raising their skills and capacities to actually implement those priorities. Finally, the third element – local institution building – will help establish their organization at the local level through which they can sustain and up – scale, the project activities and impacts after the external support is phased out.

I use the Tarot as a tool because it blocks distractions, and as a point of focus, it helps me to maintain an altered state of mind for the length of time I need to receive information that I pass on to you.
During a reading I use only the 21 cards of the Major Arcana and the voice of my spirit guide.
Here is what you can expect during your reading:
- I shuffle the cards and ask you to concentrate on what you want to discuss
- I hand them to you
- You shuffle the cards then hand them back to me
- I lay out the cards
- I enter a light meditative state, focus on the symbols and colors that stand out on the cards and listen to my spirit guide; then I pass on information to you that I am receiving, about
- the past- if it is affecting you negatively
- situations that exist in the present that are both disruptive and beneficial
- alternatives that will solve your problems
- future predictions

Their hope is to start holding larger races in the near future, including possibly being a part of the CTS (california Touring Series)
The current layout is now 165′ x 75′, making this track one of the largest in the state.
Thanks to Brian Rush for all his hard work and dedication.

Let Our Enemies Beware
the most overlooked band of the last few years?
If Mclusky we touching Mogwai in the bum whilst members of Slint wanked over them both it wouldnt even sound as good as this, so it's a stupid analogy. heheh, I said anal-ogy.
Im putting them on soon, but this isn't a JAG, just a call for everyone to go listen to them. NOW. because they're amazing. Diver agrees.
They sound like
SixNationState, only insane. Which is good.
Actual most overlooked band of the last few years though?
I continue to plug these guys until the day I die, they were amazing, and cut down before their prime.
But your candidate is good too.
I also agree
having been blown away when I saw them at the Luminaire last year.

The Listening Experience in Music and Psychoanalytic Therapy
The blending of musical arts and psychoanalytic ideas has not been widespread. The subject of "listening", however, has several possibilities which will be discussed in this colloquium. Both endeavors, musical experience and analytic therapy, call upon a broad range of cognitive and affective responses in the listener. The parallel subjective experience in both music and psychoanalytic therapy will provide the basis for this interactive colloquium. We will consider ways in which these two disciplines can enrich one another. Music composed by Dr. Hartway will be performed at the colloquim.
Charles A. Burch, Ph.D. is faculty member of the Michigan Psychoanalytic Institute and President-Elect of the Michigan Psychoanalytic Society. Professional interests include the mutual influence of the arts and psychoanalytic thought, especially as these apply to music, film and literature.
James J. Hartway, Ph.D. is a Distinguished Professor of Music and Divisional Director of Music Composition/Theory at Wayne State University. He has won national and international prizes for his compositions, and they have been performed, recorded, and broadcast around the world. Dr. Hartway has written more than ninety original works from solo pieces to large orchestral works.
Kerstin Allvin, M.A. has Bachelor's and Master's degrees in harp performance from Indiana University and the University of Michigan. Ms. Allvin is a full-time, free lance harpist who has toured Europe as Principal Harp with the Detroit Symphony Orchestra, recorded with "popular artists" such as Stevie Wonder,and has concertized as a soloist and with her chamber ensembles in Europe, Japan, China, Africa, and Canada.

Installing Drush 7 on MacOSX with Composer
Acquia Dev Desktop comes with Drush pre-installed. So, if you're already using Acquia Dev Desktop, you already have Drush on your machine, and you're ready to begin the series. If you're using another AMP stack, such as MAMP, this video will show you how to install Drush 7 on Mac OSX with Compser.
The process to install Drush 7.0.0 and up is in some ways more complicated than previous versions, but it's also much simpler for other reasons. For example, in order to install Drush, you have to install Composer first, but Composer is required for Drupal 8 (so you might need to install it eventually anyway) and once Composer is installed, installing Drush is just a single command in the command line.
Install Composer on MacOSX
If you go to drush.org and click "Install" in the sidebar, you'll see that there is more than one way to install Drush. We're going to install one Drush for all projects, as it's the most common way to use Drush.
Let's start out by install Composer Globally on our Mac.
- Click the "Install Composer globally" link (This page walks you through the commands you need to enter in order to install Composer globally.)
- Copy the first command and paste it into your terminal and press Enter
- Copy and paste the second command. (You'll likely need to run the command preceded by "sudo" due to permissions)
- My installation doesn't have a "/usr/local/bin" directory, so I need to create that first.
- I'll type "sudo mkdir -p /usr/local/bin" to create the directory and enter my password. (The -p creates directories recursively in case one or more in the chain don't already exist.)
- Now, I'll retry the second command
And that's it! Now, when I type "composer --version" and press Enter, we'll see that I have version 1.0-dev installed!
Install Drush via Composer
Now, we're ready to install Drush with composer. It's pretty simple. In fact, it's a single line in the command line.
Back on the Drush Install page, we'll see the commands used to install Drush 7 and Drush 8. We'll install Drush 7 in this video, as it's the current stable release, but if you're working with Drupal 8, you'll need to use the Drush 8 command since Drupal 8 requires Drush 8.
- In the command line, type "composer global require drush/drush:7.*" and press Enter.
If you get a popup to install the Xcode Developer tools, you can choose to install them, or not. I won't for this video, as they're not actually required.
Add Drush to the System PATH
Now, we need to add the new Drush installation to our sytem Path, so that we can run Drush from anywhere on our system. We'll add it in our user's .bash_profile file.
- Type "vi ~/.bash_profile" to edit the file
- Press the "i" key to enter Insert mode
- Type "export PATH="$HOME/.composer/vendor/bin:$PATH"" (What this does is writes a new path for this user. It starts with the $HOME/.compser/vendor/bin directory, and then appends the existing path after that. Effectively adding the new folder to the beginning of our system path.)
- Press the Escape (esc) key to switch back to command mode
- Type ":wq" and press Enter to save and quit the file
Now we need to close this terminal window (and all other open terminals) to load the new path. Or, we can run the "source" command to load the .bash_profile file without having to restart the Terminal.
- Type "source ~/.bash_profile" and press Enter
Now if I type "drush" and press Enter, you'll see that Drush is installed, and working on this machine. And when I type "drush status" and press Enter, you'll see that I have Drush version 7.0.0 installed!

Sunday Scribblings "Covert"
The Sunday Scribblings prompt for this week is "Covert".
I thought I would try to tie my last lot of pictures, taken 2 days ago in with that somehow. Any excuse to show them off:).
I woke up a few days ago and thought what could I do to snap myself out of the mindset that I have been trying to break out of lately. I am a Scorpio and therefore a water sign, it calms me to be near the water. I drove down to Point Hut Crossing which is not far from my house and thought I would take a little walk by my dear old Murrumbidgee river. I guess it was a bit covert of me, I didn't let anyone know where I was going. I know this breaks the first rule of bush walking, being let someone know where you are going and what you are doing , but there you go, I am a fool. Nuthin' happened to me.
Peter and I went back there the next morning early with our dog Rufus to check out the walking track there. The section we looked at goes for 2.2 km, to Pine Island. We went most of the way along it then turned around. It took us a bit over an hour in total. Rufus loved it, he found all sorts of interesting smells to investigate. He became most excited by the bunny scents and remembered chasing them on our walks in Junee. We had to watch and take care that he didn't disappear down a rabbit or Wombat hole. I wonder if there were any mad hatters down those.
The first picture, above, is taken near the bridge at the crossing. I thought it looked like those beautiful promising looking clouds were reaching down from the sky to kiss the Brindabella hill tops. We did not get any more than a spit of rain out of them though.
This is a Wombat hole. There are lots of them along the Murrumbidgee corridor here in Canberra. Can you imagine that there is a tired Wombat hiding covertly inside one of these entrances awaiting night time to begin his next adventure.
Enlarge this sign and have a read and a look at the map.
Under this pretty carpet of leaves lies next springs grass, waiting covertly to pop back out into the sunshine again and partake of the nourishment that the leaves provide.
Off the track here... It will take me a long time to write this today, I have a sore thumb so I keep hitting the wrong keys and have to stop to fix my mistakes.
On the upstream side of the bridge the water was as still and as shiny as a mirror showing reflections of the sky and clouds beautifully.
Down stream showing the crossing.
More of my lovely old river. Still at Point Hut.
The Murrumbidgee flows through Canberra where I live now and passes through Wagga which is where I was born. I have a special link with the Murrumbidgee river, it is special to me. It has often got a mention here in my blog. The Murrumbidgee is not one of the main rivers in this country but a part of the larger Murray river system, well, it flows into it eventually anyway.
Here in Canberra it looks and behaves quite differently to the way it does in Wagga. It is still the life blood of both towns though, and many others along it's course. Winding it's way and cutting through the earth providing water for both places to keep the area alive. Providing for agriculture, wildlife and humans as it travels along. Cleansing and recreational. Bordered here by basalt, red and grey granite and tiny sandy beaches. Shallow and bubbling along over the rocks. Sometimes forming wide calm, deep, pools then being pushed back through the rocks into a narrow, shallow, faster moving stream.
At Wagga it is bordered by red clayed, steep, eroded banks and sweeping bends with sandy patched beaches on the curves. Running deeper, darker and brown- green over its bed, flowing over many big, fallen river red gum stumps in the water. Bordered by many billabongs where the rivers course has changed over the years by cutting off it's own curves. Analogous of life. Most of the billabongs have dried out now, because of many years of drought and human intervention along the river.
My dear old river.
Got to go now.
I have other things I should be doing.
Bye Love Linda.

Dear Linda ~~ I love your photos and your serene place and the river
Murrumbidgee. Glad that you and Peter went walking there too with
Rufus. Sounds like he is trying.
I am glad you treasure your Zygo that
your grandmother grew so long ago.
I love my burgendy velvet skirt and top. I wore it 10 years ago on my 65th birthday. Must try to find that photo.(and compare). Take care, my friend. Love, Merle.

Dear Linda Mae,
I apologize for replying to your comment at my blog here but I did not see a visiable email on your profile. I chose this post so it would not be on your most current one where it would be more likely be seen by other. Anyway . . .
It isn't a matter of agreeing or disagreeing. For me, it's really all about dialogue and understanding. People don't have to agree on everything. I think the world would be a very boring place if we did,I don't mind your comment at all, and in fact, welcome it.
That being said, the main thing here is that he knew going in what was expected of him. He chose not to follow that expectation even though he had a clear avenue for relief and being able to leave his priesthood. He chose, instead, to cause scandal and harmed many people, not the least of whom is the woman herself.
Most pedophiles are also married so the requirement of celibacy does not enter here. The Church regards Holy Orders as a marriage between a man and God; anyone with a proclivity for little boys will have a perfect way to hide it. And since pedophilia is a secret activity, traditional marriage provides the same sort of shelter.
Thank you for stopping by Linda Mae, and I hope you come visiting again.

Thanks for taking us on a nice walk. Love the reflection photo and the wombat hole. I grew up in Moonta where they say a wombat dug up a piece of copper which started the copper mines there.
