Several years ago I took my son to play a round of golf. We had parked the car and were heading to the course when I bumped into a woman I had known through my son's school. We talked about the beautiful weather, how nice it was that we were playing golf and then parted ways. A fairly common type of interaction, however, I didn't realize at the time how this story would stay with me forever.
Several days later an article appeared on the front page of the Health and Science section of the Boston Globe highlighting my story as a two-time cancer survivor. I have never been secretive about my illnesses, however,the reality was that there were pockets of people who knew of my challenges, primarily close friends and co-workers. Many others I had come in contact with in my community and various activities I participated in did not know my story. It is not something I typically bring up unless there is a specific reason. My doctor had asked me if I would be willing to help him out and answer a few questions for a reporter doing a story on the new Adult Survivorship Clinic at the Dana Farber Cancer Institute. The few questions turned into a larger feature and before I knew it, my story was public.
Fast-forward about 3 weeks. The same woman I talked about at the beginning of this blog approached me at a restaurant one night. She told me that she had seen the article in the newspaper and was blown away. She said "I keep thinking back to that day I saw you in the parking lot with your son. I was feeling sorry for myself because believe it or not, I had just been told I might have cancer. It all hit me when I saw you. I did not know anything of your history. To me, you were the picture of health, so carefree and happy. I was feeling resentful and sorry for myself for having to deal with a potentially life-threatening illness. I was so scared and there you were, not a care in the world. Not fair. Then I saw that article in the paper and it has been hard to wrap my head around not only how I misjudged the situation and that you had been through all of that."
The significance of our encounter was not lost on either of us.
How often have we made judgments about people not really knowing what challenges they have encountered in their lives? Understanding these challenges actually, connects us in ways we would not expect.
Recently, I was able to spend some quality time with two high school friends. We became reacquainted after years of not seeing each other. As we talked I realized, in both cases, how little I knew about them when I was growing up. Now after 30+ years, I learned that I was oblivious to their individual struggles. I only saw what was on the surface. My appreciation and respect for them grew and grew.
Everyone has a story. Most of us are unaware of the specifics though we tend to make judgments that often miss the mark. Life throws us many curveballs, some easier to deal with than others but in the end, we all have our share of challenges that make up chapters of our stories.
There are a lot of chapters to my story. It always strikes me how shocked people are when they learn of some of my challenges. I guess on the surface I don't look the part.
Today I give a glimpse of a few of my chapters that typically surprise people.
I was diagnosed with Hodgkin's lymphoma on August 2, 1989. Anyone who has been diagnosed with cancer can tell you the specifics of the day they were diagnosed with cancer. It is one of those events that permanently makes its' mark in your brain. Your life changes forever. The way you think changes forever. And it happens so fast.
I was 25 and had returned from my honeymoon three days earlier. Newly married, with a new job, a new apartment, a new life. How does that happen to someone who is a health nut and an exercise fanatic and just starting off on her life as an adult? Everything I believed to be true about my life had seemingly changed in a blink of an eye. Life was now all about doctor's visits, CAT scans, chemotherapy, radiation, blood counts, fevers, hair loss, fatigue, nausea and too many other side effects to list. Six months of treatments passed and it took several years to begin to feel better, my new normal. I was unsure what the future would hold.
Follow-up tests every 6 months ensured a roller coaster of emotions for five years. Each year that passed I felt a little more confident that maybe this would one day be thought of as a "bad dream" and I could move on with life.
No one is prepared for a cancer diagnosis. I think it is especially challenging for those who are young and facing cancer. As people age, they assume that they will face medical issues. A young person has a different set of beliefs. When those beliefs are challenged it can be difficult to handle because the young people around you don't understand, cannot relate and it can be a very lonely place inside your own thoughts and fears.
When I was five years out from treatment, I was finally ready emotionally to move forward and start a family. After the birth of my first and then second son the idea of "it will all seem like a bad dream" seemed closer to the truth. We had a nice little family, two successful careers, and a home in a nice community. Finally, we were getting the life we imagined.
And then the other shoe dropped.
On my way out to dinner, I had an itch under my arm and scratched it. And that is when I felt the lump. Just like that. The room started spinning. The diagnosis is breast cancer and I am thrown back into the medical world of doctor visits, tests and scans, surgical procedures, and months of chemotherapy. I have been through this before but not with two toddlers in tow.
I was told my breast cancer was most likely a result of the radiation treatment I received for my Hodgkin's lymphoma. The cure caused the cancer.
It is hard to describe what it is like to be diagnosed a second time. Just when I started to let go of the fear, after trying to protect myself for so long, it came back with a devastating blow. My body let me down, not once, but twice. This must be it.
Today as I write I remind myself how fortunate I am living an extremely fulfilling life. Believe it or not, sometimes I forget, the busier and more routine my life is. I am now eighteen years out from my last cancer. I survived the invasive procedures, the countless doctor visits, and blood tests, the poisonous compounds they infused into my body. I joke that I have had so much radiation I am probably radioactive. The fear and anxiety are still lurking in the background but I have learned how to handle as well as I can. There are some residual side effects and a few challenges but basically, I am able to do most of the things that make my life normal.
I regularly remind myself and promise myself never to take life for granted and to savor each moment. Sometimes everyday life gets in the way and I am guilty of getting stressed by the most common things.
I am reminded when I visit my surgeon after eighteen years and he says how happy he is to see me, implying this day could very well not have happened. "You are fortunate," he says. "Someone is clearly watching over you."
There is much more to my story and I will share in future blogs. Sharing my story helps give a context in which I write and see the world. Taking the time to learn about other people's stories gives me a better perspective on them and life in general.
Today I remind myself of my own story, to take in the good. And I remind myself that I am not unique. We all have something that tests us and threatens us in life. The beauty is in the strength we find, sometimes unexpectedly, to move on. It connects us in ways we would have never imagined.

Healing herbs of Arshan
I once had an opportunity to visit lake Baikal in the reserve Arshan. Arshan in Buryat "healing water". Attitude to Arcanum, healing springs, the Buryats special. There, where the surface are mineral water, build places of worship, "about", arrange prayer services. The village of Arshan is located at the foot of the Tunka bald mountains at a height of 893 meters above sea level. The forest is surrounded on all sides (pine, larch, spruce, cedar). The Tunka ridge height of 1800-1900 m incredibly majestic and beautiful, for which he received the name of the Tunka Alps. Vegetation and fauna of the Eastern Sayan mountains are extremely rich.

Well, the tobacco took at the same time. Because if the hookah can be, and could be found in antique the East bench that was right next to the Museum of the East, tobacco in the capital and in the afternoon with fire was not to find.

After Asia got tobacco, hookah, while maintaining the basic principle of inhaling cooled and passed through water, smoke, has changed, but only superficially. Continue reading

Bike Apex
In 2017, the Town of Apex was awarded a grant from the North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT), Division of Bicycle and Pedestrian Transportation (DBPT), to develop a comprehensive bicycle plan. The purpose of this plan is to identify opportunities and constraints for bicycling in Apex, and to establish recommendations for improvement.
The planning process began in late 2017 and is expected to conclude in late 2018. The Bike Plan is being developed in coordination with the Advance Apex planning process. Learn more about the Bike Plan and opportunities for engagement by visiting the tabs below.
We value your input! There are many ways participate. Check back for updates, or provide your email in the form below to receive a notice when new opportunities are announced.

Why is Apex preparing a bicycle plan?
The Town of Apex needs this plan to: leverage transportation projects associated with unprecedented development, provide multi-modal transportation choices, improve safety along routes used for bicycling, and address demands for bicycling for recreation and transportation. The purpose of this plan is to identify opportunities and constraints for bicycling in Apex, and to establish recommendations for improvement. This plan aims to use bicycling as a tool for improvements in mobility, safety, health, economy, environment, and overall quality of life. The goal is to create safe and connected routes for bicycling in Apex, with connections towards surrounding communities.
How is the bicycle plan being funded?
The Town of Apex was awarded a planning grant from the North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) Division of Bicycle and Pedestrian Transportation (DBPT) to develop a comprehensive bicycle transportation plan. Seventy percent of the funds needed to complete the plan are provided by the NCDOT grant. Thirty percent of the funds are provided by the Town.
How does this plan relate to Advance Apex?
Advance Apex covers many issues related to land use and transportation, including analysis and recommendations pertaining to multiple modes of transportation. The Apex Bike Plan, on the other hand, focuses on bicycle transportation specifically. The Bike Plan recommendations will be developed to complement and support the work of Advance Apex.
How will the plan be used?
The Apex Bike Plan will provide a framework for the Town, residents, developers, NCDOT, and other regional planning partners to strategically build better connections for bicycling in Apex. The plan will provide detailed bicycle facility recommendations needed to seek project funding, coordinate with future development, and shape policy and program decisions for the Town.
What types of bicycle facilities will be included in the plan?
The plan will make recommendations for on-road bicycle facilities, such as bicycle lanes and shared-lane markings, as well as separated facilities, such as greenway trails and shared-use paths. In addition to infrastructure recommendations, the plan will also make recommendations for bicycle-related programs and policies.
How will projects be prioritized?
Projects will be prioritized using a combination of factors. Some will be based on state funding criteria, such as connections to major and minor destinations, distances to those destinations, connectivity to other existing bicycle facilities, bicycle crash history, and feedback from the Steering Committee and the public. The prioritization process will guide funding pursuits for recommended projects.
How long is the planning process?
The Apex Bike Plan is expected to take about 12-months to complete, with the goal of plan adoption by Town Council in late 2018 or early 2019.
I missed the public workshops and the online survey. Can I still share my opinions on the bike plan?
To ask questions or provide input at any time during the planning process contact the Town's Senior Transportation Planner, Shannon Cox, by email or phone at (919) 249-3505.

Prof Sattar Bawany has a new keynote on leading in a VUCA world. Prof Bawany shared a little bit on this topic in a magazine article. Here's a bit of what he said:
The rapidly evolving demands of the 21st century include everything from climate change to demography, shifting customer requirements and expectations, the rise of technology, globalization, new markets, and new attitudes to work. Leaders must now operate in a way that inspires and engages people, while simultaneously addressing changing customer requirements and delivering results. Finally, all of these needs to be achieved with a sense of urgency, as the experienced leaders of the "Baby Boomer"generation continue to retire at pace.
Leading in a VUCA world that is Volatile, Uncertain, Complex and Ambiguous (VUCA) not only provide a challenging environment for leaders to operate and for executive development programs to have an impact: it also provides a much-needed range of new competencies. The new reality is resulting in the realization that new and different capabilities are needed to succeed.
In particular, leaders today must deal with:
- Volatility in economic conditions, including a slowly recovering economy and looming interest rate increases, and changing customer requirements.
- Uncertainty brought about by increasing globalization, as well as regulatory and legislative changes.
- Complexity driven by revolutionary technology changes impacting organizational products, and ongoing demand for increased innovation in a climate of rapid technological evolution.
- Ambiguity brought about by the generational shift accompanied by Baby Boomer retirements and NextGen Leaders rising to take more and more senior roles. All of these factors combine to create an extremely dynamic climate that puts pressure on leaders to excel.
To lead successfully in the VUCA World, leaders need to LEAP through the fog and demonstrate the cognitive readiness competencies as explained in the next section and also possesses the following traits:
Liberal: open to new behaviour or opinions and willing to adapt or discard existing values if and when necessary to adapt to the new world
Exuberant: filled with lively energy with sense of passion and optimism in engaging the team and other stakeholders
Agility: proficiently change and evolve the learning organisation with nextgen leadership competencies including cognitive readiness, critical thinking and emotional & social intelligence amongst others.
Partnership: Build trust-based partnership with teams (intra & inter) as well as externally with other stakeholders including customers and suppliers.

Change, choice and principles – The big Trophy debate
by Martin Bull
As some little West London team squirmed past us in the Football League Cup, our chances of silverware remain with just the F.A. Cup and the suddenly uber controversial Football League Trophy.
After 32 years of success, building swiftly from the inaugural final in front of merely 6,544 at Hull's old Boothferry Park due to horses damaging the Wembley turf, to a record crowd of 80,841 just four years later for Burnley vs. Wolverhampton Wanderers, the Football League Trophy has been THE cup competition for the Third and Fourth Tiers; a rare, and genuine chance of silverware for lesser clubs.
24 different clubs have held it aloft, with three dominant wins by our noisy neighbours making them the most successful club of all time, and 16 more, Rovers included, have at least got to a final or three, which suggest it truly is an egalitarian competition. Businesses in Carlisle brace themselves every year for a flurry of 'weekend off' requests, as with two wins and four losses, no other club has been as regular finalists as the Cumbrians, who rather paradoxically are usually the furthest club from Wembley or Cardiff.
The Trophy has seen 109 different teams compete in it and has been graced by several fallen giants, including Manchester City, Norwich City, Nottingham Forest, Crystal Palace, QPR and Sunderland, although amusingly none won it.
Experiments to jazz it up a smidgen have been made before, notably with the introduction of a golden goal for extra time in 1995 (Marcus Stewart's strike at Craven Cottage in January 1996 was our one and only application of that experiment), and up to 12 Conference teams allowed to compete each season between 2000 and 2006, but neither were particularly contentious.
So why is this season's contest provoking so much ferocious discord?
Because this summer a majority of the Football League clubs voted in favour of a trial format where 16 Category One Academies were endorsed to join the 48 clubs traditionally entering. This academy category is currently only held by 24 of the biggest clubs, so the new format immediately led to accusations of the arch enemy (the Premier League) infiltrating the real leagues, and of a sly second attempt to normalise the idea that Academy teams could one day be playing Football League clubs on a more regular basis.
Some members voted against the trial, including our own noble club. Thankfully. I'm not sure how I would have phrased that sentence if they hadn't.
The selection process of the 16 guinea pigs later added fuel to the fire, with 16 Premier League clubs originally invited to participate, and judging from the tight turnaround needed it seemed as though the Football League assumed all would agree. When many decided it was an offer they could easily refuse the Football League scrabbled around and just found enough agreeable Championship clubs with Category One Academies to make up the numbers, resulting in a so-called glamour tie of, say, Man Utd U23's vs. Oldham Athletic at Old Trafford being supplanted by a trip to see Blackburn Rovers U23's at a lifeless Ewood Park (yes, I have been there… it really is in dullsville).
The benefits are said to include more prize money, a shake up of a slightly unloved competition, at least one fixture played at the main ground of each Academy club, and higher attendances if the big boys (or more likely young men) visit your gaff.
Come Tuesday night we may find out whether supporters of the 48 will boycott all the matches to send out the largest protest signal to their club and the Football League, will shun just the tie against Academy opposition (or even only if it is an away tie), or rebuff none at all as that would hurt the finances of the club you have chosen to support.
There is no easy, or 'correct', answer to the issue above, and some supporters feel brow beaten by the sanctimonious judgments of those with a very strong opinion on the matter, especially those who rank football supporters from hard-core (the best; I go to all the games you know…and have been doing it for [insert large number] years now), to casuals (the average; huh, they only rock up to the games they want to…) and then the plastics (the worst; go to the odd match at a big club, usually against other well known teams).
This caste system is hardly helpful as there are a myriad of reasons why many genuine, loyal supporters have to pick and choose which games they attend, be it home or away, or both. Some, through geography or illness, may never even attend matches in the flesh, but are they to be dismissed as even lower than the plastics? No. Well certainly not in my book. Any Gashead is a Gashead. Any Pirate is a Pirate. Who the hell am I to judge their personal situation or rank them in order of superiority?
Whilst in the Chelsea end last week I certainly witnessed what might be considered plastic conduct by several people, from stadium selfies to prove their existence, to a chic young lady exhibiting a high pitch scream the likes of which I haven't heard since my wife gave birth, and animatedly bouncing off her seat at all the wrong times, sometimes even at a successful Rovers pass. Her group left at half-time.
Despite the 'grumpy old man' parrot on my shoulder telling me to sneer at this, I forced myself to think 'good on 'em, at least they got out of the house, paid their £25 and saw a real football game, in a real atmosphere', even if it may have been partly through a lens or with modest comprehension. Societies change, even if it sometimes feels like it is for the worst. American educator and author Stephen Covey summed it up well by concluding "there are three constants in life: change, choice and principles".
I'm beginning to feel that what individual Gasheads decide on Tuesday night is no longer the most important issue, but rather that we stick together as Rovers supporters and try to understand one another. By sticking together I don't mean we all decide to go, or all decide to vote with our feet, but that we respect each other whatever side we decide to go to bed with.
Martin Bull became a Gashead in 1989 and immediately fell in love with Twerton Park, standing near G pillar. Three of his seven books have been about Bristol Rovers. 'Away The Gas' is packed full of over 50 years of 'I was there' away game moments, all written by fans, 'Print That Season! – One man's weekly meanderings throughout Bristol Rovers' promotion campaign of 2014-15' is the antidote to obedient season reviews, with none of the hindsight that most writers rely on, and 'Double Darrell' is similar, but chronicles the 2015-16 promotion, and is even better.

TBone Luggage Extension Handle
1-2-3 Go! Stand more erect when pulling carry on luggage!
Simply put, we cannot keep sending dollars overseas to make things that are shipped back here.
If I was to be the one tasked with manufacturing this novelty, I wanted it to be produced stateside where I had a better chance of talking real time with an English- speaking colleague. Going through the development stages of samples and all the questions...I just didn't want the added frustration of the language barrier, let alone the time difference and phone charges. I didn't want to send my money someplace I couldn't
actually GO TO….touch an entry door, shake a hand, see the setup and get inspired. When I had my first concepts of the TBone, many people told me I 'had' to make it in China- the costs to make it stateside would add another $4-5 per piece and people wouldn't pay that for the product. The more I listened to them, the more determined I was to find a good fit with a manufacturing firm in the states that could produce a quality product that I personally could be proud of creating and showing to potential customers.
You only have one shot at making a first impression.
I located a small manufacturing company in Mission Viejo- about 75 minutes south of where I live (if the traffic gods are with me). I like their style, I like their business sense and their sense of humor. The mold was transferred to their location and we began a small run of samples, then later the first order.
My personal journey in the seeking a qualified partner in the production process added to the experience of bringing the idea of the TBone to a reality, and I am proud to be one of the growing number of American Made manufactures of a practical useful product.

Nice work. I'm without a centre armrest in the B10 and I miss it.
Car looks great! I too really like the arm rest. Not sure why anyone prefers it without to be honest.
Not much to update here, but I took the car for a drive the other night and thoroughly enjoyed it! Sadly she hasn't been driven as much as I'd like this summer. Something on the front needs some work. I'm getting vibrations from the front right on braking. I don't think it's a warped rotor, but maybe it is. I just haven't had time to look into it.
The good news is that I'm moving in a few weeks and she will FINALLY get to live in a garage! I'm super excited about it. I've been waiting a long time to buy a house and store my car(s) in a garage. It will be especially nice to have a covered place to work on my cars. Hopefully, gone are the days of rolling around on the road next to and under the car and occasionally getting wet from rain or someone else washing their car down the road! It will also be nice to be able to stop work part way through a job rather than "needing" to finish in one day
Long time no update...I'm dealing with a fuel leak. Just waiting for new parts now. In the mean time, I found replacement door cards in pretty good shape. The Alpina wood trim is old, cracked and expensive to replace, so I got other inserts. A bit of glue coming undone on the inserts, but not bad. Replaced 3 of 4 last night. Before and after of one rear door below.
Slight difference on the front doors was the tweeter speaker was different (my car 1996, donor car 1992). I was able to swap them out, but in my car the speaker was a bit smaller, so I had to get it lined up just right to not show a gap on the edge.
Both door cards showing the different speakers:
Speaker swapped:
You can see the larger imprint from the original speaker.
Next on the list is to replace the driver's door handle including swapping the tumbler so I don't have two different keys. I'll do the door card swap at the same time. Then on to the fuel leak.
Nice job on the door card. The door cards were always my nemesis on the B10. So hard to find replacements that weren't peeling too.
Thanks! Yeah, always tricky to find replacement interior parts for older cars.
I got a little over half way through the handle swap yesterday. Pic of old vs new, but I have already swapped the sensors over to the new handle.
So the whole issue was because of one little plastic piece on the linkage. You can see where it's missing on the picture below. If I had known that, I probably would have just tried to figure out a fix rather than buying a whole new handle. That would have saved me doing the tumbler swap.
Tumbler swap wasn't nearly as scary as I thought it was going to be, but it did highlight how worn out my key is. Old vs new:
You can see the waffers sticking out a little bit on the old one (right) compared to the new one. This made it a bit tricky to remove from the handle, and it also isn't working properly with the new handle, but it works ok with my spare key, so I'll just need to get a new key ordered and use my spare key for now.

PDF printable version of $3.4M funding for drug and alcohol treatment services across the North Coast (PDF 245 KB)
Joint Media Release
The Hon. Luke Hartsuyker MP
Assistant Minister to the Deputy Prime Minister
Member for Cowper
The Hon. Dr David Gillespie MP
Assistant Minister for Health
Member for Lyne
11 October 2017
The NSW North Coast region is well placed to fight alcohol and other drug misuse, with the North Coast Primary Health Network (PHN) commissioning a range of innovative early intervention, treatment and workforce development services.
Federal Assistant Health Minister and Member for Lyne, Dr David Gillespie MP, today joined with the Assistant Minister to the Deputy Prime Minister and Member for Cowper, Mr Luke Hartsuyker MP, at a Port Macquarie showcase of mental health, alcohol and other drug treatment services across the North Coast region.
"The Federal Coalition Government remains concerned about the impact of drugs —particularly ice—in our communities. We are committed to educating and preventing people from taking up drugs and improving the available treatment options," Minister Gillespie said.
"Our Government is investing $3.19 million in the North Coast PHN to commission drug and alcohol treatment services, in line with local needs. This includes annual funding of $1.9 million allocated as part of the National Ice Action Strategy.
"In addition, we are providing $194,000 annually in direct funding to the North Coast region for residential treatment services."
Minister Hartsuyker said the showcase highlighted both the range of services available and the opportunities for collaboration between service providers.
"Their services represent a significant investment by the Federal Coalition Government in the health and wellbeing of residents across the North Coast," Minister Hartsuyker said.
"The services cover the broad spectrum of needs—from early intervention and counselling support, withdrawal and case management for those with more complex issues through to day stay rehabilitation.
"There are also dedicated, culturally appropriate services for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders, and services that help build health workforce capacity to help better manage alcohol and other drug misuse issues.
"Today's event also allows service providers to talk with each other and see how they can work together to ensure patients receive better and more holistic treatment."
Minister Gillespie said the showcase event is particularly timely, with the recent launch of the National Drugs Campaign.
"This Federal Coalition Government campaign raises awareness of the harms associated with illicit drug use, particularly ice, and promotes available support and treatment services," Minister Gillespie said.
"It's vitally important that we increase our efforts against illicit drugs, particularly with growing drug use in Australia.
"It's great to see the broad range of Australian Government-supported alcohol and other drug services across the North Coast that will help people with misuse issues to get help and turn their lives around."

Festivals and Events Sustainability Policy
Festivals Malta with its stakeholders are setting a new national standard for festivals and events in Malta. Following up from the policies in place for individual events, this policy will be the recommended standard for all festivals and events under the Festivals Malta umbrella and beyond. By adhering to the below policy you are contributing to Malta's position as an international event destination.
1. All events must operate a "Leave No Trace" philosophy. Every event should leave the event site as clean (if not cleaner) than on arrival.
2. Packaging should be reduced at source. Don't use or promote products that have packaging, and reduce all packaging wherever possible. Leave a legacy with suppliers.
3. Support the Festivals Malta "Bring your own container" initiative for food and drinks. Vendors to serve participants in their own drinking bottle/cooler/bowl/plate! No glass allowed.
4. Recycling and composting bins must be present at every event. The aim is to be zero to landfill, resources are precious and Malta is a small island! "Waste" collection companies that are engaged must agree to dispose of waste correctly.
5. All food vendors and bars must only use compostable or paper disposables. All food waste and paper disposables must be added to the compost bins. The compost is to be sent to WasteServ. Use the Food Vendor policy to implement.
6. Cigarette Butt bins are to be provided throughout the event sites, portable pocket ashtrays can be handed out as optional. Smoking allowed where legal, no smoking areas are encouraged.
7. Promote conscious transport options. Use public transport, shuttle buses, park and ride initiatives, carpooling, cycling or walking. Assist local communities/artists with subsidised transport. Gozo events should be supported with extra ferry trips and free transport for artists.
8. Dispensers must be used for drinking water wherever possible and water must have an option of being dispensed in refillable containers or compostable disposables. Drinking water in single-use plastic bottles must be discouraged.
9. Use biodegradable or organic washing products as a preference. Reduce the amount of chemicals you are using, ask vendors and suppliers to do the same.
10. All waste water should be contained. Grey water should be captured into containers and deposited in agreed sewerage systems.
11. Portable toilets should use ecological (ideally, enzyme based) products rather than the traditional, formaldehyde-based chemicals.
12. Reduce energy consumption. Ask suppliers to use LED lighting wherever possible, look into power sourcing alternatives. Choose low impact materials in procurement.
13. Paperless choices should be made whenever possible, encouraging use of app based programmes, digital solutions and less print. Ensure enough scanner points for app based tickets.
14. Employ cleaners to work throughout the event, these can be volunteers, clean ups run by participants of the event or paid workers. A clean floor stays a clean floor.
15. Contribute to the local community. Give back to the local area in any way you can, source workers locally, buy local, use local goods.
16. Build awareness. Get participants, suppliers, crew, vendors engaged in what you are aiming to achieve. Publish your sustainability policies pre-event, communicate your intentions and initiatives. Use social media, national media, press.
17. Organisers commit to keeping up to date with international standards and invest in their own growth and training. Knowledge should be shared between organisers and stakeholders.
18. Events and Festivals should be created with consideration towards the national programme of events and with a unique flavour to ensure less cross over.
19. Create a Legacy. Focus on education throughout, create event signage with tips how participants can contribute, make educational boards for the event, employ sustainability volunteers to promote your initiatives on site, get participants to share their experiences and leave empowered and inspired.
20. Report, review and share. Announce the events achievements, review systems for improvement and refinement, share your learnings.

Hector Guzman, Conductor
Time for Three
Zachary De Pue, Violin
Nicolas Kendall, Violin
Ranaan Meyer, Bass
Time for Three is a group that defies any traditional genre classification, happily and infectiously. With an uncommon mix of virtuosity and showmanship, the American trio performs music from Bach and Brahms to bluegrass, folk tunes, and mash-ups of hits by the Beatles, Katy Perry, Justin Timberlake and more. They have performed at Carnegie Hall, with numerous orchestras and collaborated with prominent artists from Brandford Marsalis to pops singer-songwriter Joshua Radin. Their infectious personalities and dizzying virtuosity are featured on this performance with the Plano Symphony in works from Vivaldi's The Four Seasons and the music of Bach to renditions ofEleanor Rigby, Danny Boy, the theme from Schindler's List, and Orange Blossom Special.
Time for Three is one of a kind with their crowd thrilling, on the spot improvisations. This could very well be the performance of the season.

Anyone following markets these days knows that they have been on a tear, particularly global equities which have been higher across the board.
The U.S. dollar has also generally been stronger, particularly in the last week, as expectations have solidified in recent days that the U.S. Federal Reserve intends to raise the federal funds rate on March 15.
It therefore may come as a surprise that the best performing currency among the more commonly traded currencies is the Mexican peso.
Since the inauguration of Donald Trump, the peso is up 9 percent in value – probably not what most investors expected.
During 2016, the Mexican peso reacted in line with expectations about whether the policies of then-candidate Trump would be enacted. Certainly any casual observer would score the first few weeks of the new administration as not necessarily being favorable to Mexico
So why is the peso so strong?
The explanation is a story of true fundamental currency trading basics. There are two primary reasons we have seen the peso rising since Jan. 20:
- So many investors had sold off pesos over the last few months that short peso positions began to get extreme. When those positions began to unwind, we saw a snap back in the value of the peso.
- The Bank of Mexico, Mexico's central bank, has been surprisingly hawkish – hiking interest rates to both halt the slide of the peso and rein in inflation.
Both of these explanations are fairly commonplace for foreign exchange markets. Clearly, they are overwhelming what had been a popular narrative that the peso would never recover during President Trump's administration.
The reality of foreign currency trading is that the primary drivers of currency valuations shift and change, sometimes with great volatility and without warning.
My View: In these days of emotional markets and the increasing influence of currency moves on potential fiscal policy, it is important to keep in mind that trading on fundamentals and traditional valuation factors ultimately reasserts itself.

I just met President Jimmy Carter at a book signing and am starstruck. Having grown up in Hollywood, California, where I'd routinely see celebrities at the supermarket or when going out to eat, that says something. I was shaking a bit afterwards. When I thanked him for signing my book, my voice was so high-pitched from excitement, I almost couldn't hear myself. Since he is now 86 years old, he probably heard nothing, or heard me chirping. I bought his new book, White House Diary, which he is promoting, as well as We Can Have Peace In the Holy Land. The latter book is what connects to my work as an immigration attorney. I have worked with a number of clients who are from the Palestinian Territories, and am a bit fascinated by that part of the world. I am looking to get more insight, and more optimism, about what is going on over there.
I chose this image because 1) it is very cool that he was riding a bicycle like this at 84 years old, and 2) he looked very much like this today, sans shades and jacket.
