ecoDestinations - Ecuador
Ecuador is a go-to destination for any ecotourist. It is one of the world's most biodiverse countries in the world, where you'll be sure to hear howler monkeys in the forest, hang out with llamas in the Andes, and see humpback whales along the coast. Highlights include Quito, the capital of Ecuador that is filled with Spanish colonial architecture, and the Galapagos Islands, which is surrounded by the second largest marine reserve in the world. Expect to experience vibrant cultural cities, sleepy beach towns with amazing surf, and ancient jungles surrounded by active volcanoes and snow-capped peaks.
Ecuador was named one of the world's mega-diverse countries by Conservation International. As a means to protect its precious ecosystems, Ecuador's 2008 constitution was the first in the world to legally recognize the Rights of Nature. It is home to some 1,600 bird species, 4,500 species of butterflies, 405 reptiles, 440 species of amphibians and 382 species of mammals. Its cloud rainforests are considered the single richest area on the planet, containing approximately 15% to 17% of the world's plant species and nearly 20% of its bird diversity. The cloud forests are also home to iconic species such as the spectacled bear, jaguar, sloth, howler monkey, and puma. The Galapagos Islands, famous as the location where Darwin developed his ideas on the Theory of Evolution, are another hotspot of biodiversity. These 19 volcanic islands, located at the confluence of three ocean currents, is the habitat of some very unique animals, including the land iguana, the giant tortoise, and the Galapagos penguin.
Indigenous Peoples:
The indigenous movement in Ecuador is one of the strongest in South America. There are 14 distinct indigenous peoples that represent 7% of the Ecuadorian population, including the Tsachila, Chachi, Epera, Awa, Kichwas, Shuar, Achuar, Shiwiar, Cofan, Siona, Secoya, Zapara, Andoa and Waorani. There are even several groups of uncontacted peoples deep within the Amazon. Indigenous communities own more than 6.8 million hectares of forests; however, deforestation and pollution through the oil, copper, gold and agriculture industries threaten their territorial and cultural integrity. In order to protect the wellbeing of indigenous lands and culture, it is necessary to establish their right to self-determination at the local, national, regional, and international level.
UNESCO World Heritage Sites:
Quito, the capital of Ecuador, is nestled in the heights of the Andes. It was founded in the 16th century on the ruins of an ancient Inca city and stands at an altitude of 2,850 m (9,350 ft). It was declared one of the first UNESCO World Heritage Sites in the 1970s due to having one of the best-preserved and least altered historical centers in Latin America.
Cuenca is located in a valley surrounded by the Andean mountains. It was named a UNESCO World Heritage Site for its beautiful colonial Spanish architecture. Highlights include the New Cathedral, the Old Cathedral, the Carmelite Monastery, and the Santo Domingo Church.
Qhapag Ñan is the old Andean Road System and the newest edition to the UNESCO World Heritage Site list, having been added in 2014. It was an extensive system used as a link from Cusco, the Inca capital, to the rest of its empire, spreading over 30,000 km (18,640 miles) along the Andes. Its most famous portion is the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu.
The Galapagos Islands consist of 127 islands and islets, 19 of which are volcanic, and are situated 1,000 km (620 miles) from the coast of Ecuador. The UNESCO World Heritage Site called it a "living museum and showcase of evolution." Human settlements are restricted to only 3% of the area, on four of the largest islands. The Galapagos Marine Reserve, which surrounds the islands, is the second largest in the world.
Sangay National Park has a wide spectrum of ecosystems, from active volcanoes, tropical rainforests, plains, and the snow-capped peaks of the Andes. It is an important refuge for rare species like the mountain tapir and spectacled bears.
National Parks:
Cayambe-Coca National Park features hot springs and highland prairies that are frequented for its excellent fishing and bird watching. It also contains archeological structures such as the pre-Incan Sun and Moon temples in Puntiatsil, and a portion of Qhapag Ñan. It is also known for the San Rafael Waterfall, the tallest waterfall in Ecuador measuring 131 m (430 ft).
Cotopaxi National Park is located near Quito and is the location of Cotopaxi volcano, which is among the highest active volcanoes in the world.
El Cajas is a national park about 30 km west of Cuenca. It is home to a large variety of animals many of which are endemic or endangered. It is currently a candidate as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Machalilla was named an internationally important wetland. Wildlife includes armadillos, monkeys, and over 270 species of birds. The ocean regions of the park also provide a breeding ground for humpback whales.
Yacuri National Park has over 46 high-altitude lakes. The most commonly visited are Laguna Negra, an extremely deep lake in the caldera of an extinguished volcano that is frequented by traditional medicine men, and Laguna Yacuri, the largest lake in the park. Qhapag Ñan also passes through the park and there are several archeological ruins including petroglyphs, plazas, and cemeteries.
Yasuni National Park is arguably the most biologically diverse spot on Earth. It contains approximately one-third of the world's amphibian and reptile species, as well as very high levels of fish (382 different species!) and at least 596 species of birds. It is also home to two uncontacted indigenous tribes, the Tagaeri and Taromenane.

Mr. Speaker, Angie described Amherst College as her dream school. A vibrant American teenager, she couldn't wait to start her new life at the perfect college.
Like all universities, Amherst painted itself in a positive light. It had a good reputation.
But Angie had no way of knowing the dark reality hiding behind that facade. Her initial memories of her freshman year play along a familiar and happy college narrative.
Her life was full of new friends, new experiences, and new challenges. But on May 25, everything changed.
That happy narrative came to a screeching halt. An acquaintance of hers invited her over to watch a movie in his campus dorm room.
Tired from a long day of classes, Angie finally drifted off to sleep. The next thing she knew, she woke up to find this individual on top of her sexually assaulting her.
The morning after the attack, Angie felt that she was in a daze, and she acted like she was in a daze. The illusion of college life filled with smiling faces and good times had been shattered.
Mr. Speaker, according to the Department of Justice, one in five women are sexually assaulted during college in the United States—one in five. Of those, less than 25 percent report the sexual assault.
So Angie, fearing that she would be ignored, doubted, and dismissed, carried on in hopeless silence. In the 4 months following her rape, she fell deeper and deeper into depression.
Finally, when the burden became too heavy to bear, she summoned all her remaining strength and courage and went to the campus counselor. But she was shocked at the counselor's response.
The counseling center didn't believe she was sexually assaulted. The counseling center said that she should forgive the rapist.
They told her there is nothing they could do or would do. There was no point in pressing charges; her rapist was close to graduating anyway.
But she could not forget what had happened to her. She couldn't deal with the sexual assault.
Mr. Speaker, a rape victim cannot just forget what has happened to them. Mr. Speaker, I was a judge for 22 years and a prosecutor for 8 in Texas.
I saw a lot of sexual assault victims, a lot of them. They deal with what happened to them every day, and they feel like the rapist tried to steal the soul of the victim.
A rape victim once told me: ''Judge, rape is a fate worse than death.'' And to a lot of victims, that is exactly the way they feel.
It is worse than being murdered. These sexual assault victims need support, understanding, and care to be-come survivors.
They first need some-body who will listen to them. Amherst utterly failed Angie, and that failure pushed her deeper and deeper into despair.
When she voiced that she had been having suicidal thoughts, university police forcibly escorted her to the emergency room and left her there.
The doctor who examined her had no training on how to deal with traumatized rape victims. Utterly lacking in any kind of compassion for what had happened to her, the doctor told her that she was being irrational and that her story just didn't make any sense to the doctor.
He didn't believe a school like Amherst would allow her to be raped, and he thought she just must be crazy. He ordered that she be admitted into a psychiatric ward and washed his hands of the entire situation.
For 5 days, Mr. Speaker, Angie sat shaking in a sterile room behind locked doors. She becomes the prisoner for the sexual assault that happened to her.
A victim's pain and suffering should never be increased because the hospital doesn't have staff trained to provide victim services for sexual assault victims. So to ensure this doesn't happen to more victims like Angie, I have introduced legislation, along with the gentlewoman from New York (Mrs. CAROLYNB. MALONEY), my good friend, that would require a hospital to pro-vide access to a staffer who is properly trained to provide care sensitive to the trauma victim and is concerned about what they have experienced, or have a plan in place to get the victim to a nearby hospital that does.
This is called a SAFE. The law should be changed to require a hospital to have a SAFE or a SANE— that is a sexual assault forensic examiner or a sexual assault nurse examiner—on staff or have one at a nearby hospital.
This bill is named for Megan Rondini. Megan Rondini is another victim of sexual assault on campus.
She was from Texas and went to the University of Alabama, and she was denied proper post-sexual assault treatment at a hospital. This will ensure victims get the care that they need.
Megan couldn't deal with what happened to her, and she finally committed suicide. Mr. Speaker, we need to, as a body, be concerned about sexual assault victims and provide this basic legislation so universities are trained or have somebody on staff nearby who can deal with sexual assault victims.
That is the least we can do for people like Angie and Megan Rondini.
And that is just the way it is.

Car Talk
#1712: Nature Vs Nurture
This week on The Best of Car Talk, if Art passes his AMC Concord onto his 16-year-old son, is he setting the kid on a life path of collecting junk cars? In other words, Art wants to know what Tommy's first car was. And worse, would the Concord doom his son to no social life? Elsewhere, James is about to relocate to Haiti, but needs a car with high ground clearance. His Honda Civic may not fit that description. Also, Wendy's husband is fogging up her car; Troy's VW sounds "satanic" at 1500 RPM, and Mary Rawson's friend offered to fix her brakes, but wants to be more than just friends. If she stops his advances, can she expect her car to stop? All this, plus the bright side of an expensive diagnosis, and lots more, this week on The Best of Car Talk.

Last weekend I went on a really cute night to the cinema with Lewis. We went to see the new Tarentino film "The Hateful 8". I really enjoyed it (blood and gore, always a win) but admittedly it was a bit drawn out. There were times I was just like, c'mon already! So it's getting a 4.5/5 from me.
On the other hand, my outfit is getting a solid 5/5. Can I rate myself? Hell yeah! I felt really confident and relaxed in what I was wearing so it totally deserves a 5.

Also, enjoy the train station park. So classy for a photo op..

Dietrich Bonhoeffer Quotes About TemptationQuotes about: Temptation
Temptations which accompany the working day will be conquered on the basis of the morning breakthrough to God. Decisions, demanded by work, become easier and simpler where they are made not in the fear of men, but only in the sight of God. He wants to give us today the power which we need for our work.
The deceit, the lie of the devil consists of this, that he wishes to make man believe that he can live without God's Word. Thus he dangles before man's fantasy a kingdom of faith, of power, and of peace, into which only he can enter who consents to the temptations; and conceals from men that he, as the devil, is the most unfortunate and unhappy of beings, since he is finally and eternally rejected by God.

text: The Longest Acceptable Prefix for IPv6 Links Department of Computer Science University of Auckland PB 92019 Auckland 1142 New Zealand firstname.lastname@example.com This document introduces the concepts of a Longest Acceptable Prefix (LAP) and a Shortest Acceptable Identifier Length (SAIL) for an IPv6 link. The IPv6 addressing architecture clearly separates an address into a routing prefix of length n bits and an interface identifier of length 128-n bits. IPv6 routers are required by BCP 198 to support any length of routing prefix. For operational reasons, routing prefixes up to 127 bits have been recommended . Stateless Address Autoconfiguration (SLAAC) requires a fixed prefix length for each Layer 2 medium, and for largely historical reasons this has been fixed for all media as 64 bits by the addressing architecture. Efforts to update the addressing architecture have shown that there are contradictory opinions about retaining this fixed length for all purposes, not just for SLAAC. See for example . This document does not aim to rehash those opinions and the arguments behind them. Its only purpose is to propose simple terminology to make the discussion easier. Both the terms introduced include the word "Acceptable" to make it clear that they are human operational choices. As noted above, any prefix length up to /128 is treated identically by routing protocols. However, for a given network, end site, or link, there always exists a Longest Acceptable Prefix (LAP), whose length is locally determined. Currently, a site or link that uses SLAAC has a LAP of /64, and will not work with a longer one. A point-to-point link may have a LAP of /127, according to . Situations in which other LAPs might be used should be defined in other documents. The interface identifier is used to identify a given interface on a given link, and is therefore only of local significance, even though it is globally visible as part of an address. For a given link, there always exists a Shortest Acceptable Identifier Length (SAIL). By definition, Currently, a site or link that uses SLAAC has a SAIL of 64. Situations in which other SAILs might be used should be defined in other documents, with particular attention to security and privacy issues. As noted in the Security Considerations of , the length of a SAIL, and therefore the length of a LAP, have important implications for privacy. Proposals for adopting LAPs longer than /64 must take this into account. Additionally, the length of a SAIL has important implications for the feasability of network reconnaissance by scanning attacks . This document makes no request of the IANA. The term SAIL is directly based on a suggestion by Mark Smith. draft-carpenter-6man-lap-00, 2018-06-13: Initial version draft-carpenter-6man-lap-01, 2018-06-20: Added SAIL, minor clarifications

Lymphopenia - it is transient or permanent reduction in the concentration of blood lymphocyte cells in a total volume of circulating blood, less than 1000 in 1 mm.Long duration lymphopenia can provoke activation of opportunistic infections and pathological condition is a background for the development of autoimmune diseases and neoplastic nature.
In terms of diagnostic procedures is important not so much the discovery of the very fact of reducing lymphocyte cells as an imbalance in lymphocyte subpopulations.In order to detect signs of lymphopenia must necessarily be determined by peripheral blood leukocyte in the study of the overall clinical analysis of circulating blood.
reasons lymphopenia
There are a number of diseases in which notes a congenital deficiency of lymphocyte cells and develops absolute lymphopenia, which include innate immune deficiency in newborns.
Lymphopenia children can develop not only due to insufficient production of lymphocytes, but also due to in
The largest category of patients with acquired option lymphopenia are persons who do not observe the rules of a balanced diet in which there is a significant deficiency of the protein component of the diet.An analogous pathogenesis of lymphopenia observed in autoimmune diseases, each of which is accompanied by a significant loss of body protein.
Among infectious diseases, accompanied by the development limfopenicheskogo state, it should be noted HIV and AIDS, as in the last decade has seen a significant increase in the incidence according to pathologies.Development of lymphopenia in this situation is caused by the destruction of mostly T-lymphocytes and the migration of decomposition products to the organs of the reticuloendothelial system.
lymphopenia due to a violation of a number of lymphocytic cell production is detected in patients with organic pathology of the thymus, while there may be both absolute and relative lymphopenia.
Increased destruction of lymphocyte cells observed in individuals taking drugs for a long time Group "psoralen", which are used in the treatment of psoriasis.And, of course, allocated a separate category etiopathogenetic lymphopenia, which is a consequence of radiation and cytostatic therapy, which are used in the treatment of cancer.This category refers to limfopenicheskogo syndrome iatrogenic.
There is another category of patients in whom there is no reduction in lymphocytes and an increase in the percentage of other blood cells leukocyte number, against which creates a false impression of reducing the amount of lymphocytic cells.In this situation, the conclusion set hematologists "relative lymphopenia."This type limfopenicheskogo syndrome occurs when a massive inflammation in the body purulent (osteomyelitis, bone, lung abscess, empyema, abscess).
Reactive decrease lymphocyte blood cells may occur under stress conditions.This category includes lymphopenia during pregnancy, which in most cases does not require medical correction, but this group of patients to be dynamic laboratory observations.After delivery, you must be sure to inspect the newborn baby for signs of lymphopenia, since this pathological condition can be inherited.The debut of the clinical manifestations of congenital absolute lymphopenia falls on the first day of a child's life, and in this period there is a high risk of dying of the disease.
Symptoms lymphopenia
Since lymphopenia is not an independent disease entities, given the pathological condition of the body does not have its own pathognomonic clinical picture, but there is a wide spectrum of clinical manifestations observed in most cases, while reducing lymphocyte cells.Cellular immunodeficiency, which manifests itself in reducing the number of lymphocyte cell production, manifested primarily in the hypoplastic tonsils limfoglotochnogo rings and underdevelopment of large groups of lymph collectors.
Like any pathology of the peripheral blood lymphopenia accompanied by a change in the form of skin discoloration (pallor, ikterichnost), presence of ulcerations and erosions on the mucous membranes of different distribution.Patients in whom there is even a slight but continuous decline in lymphocyte cells, are classified as "respiratory diseases often ill persons", as this group of patients have an increased risk of diseases of infectious origin that occur in the presence of severe complications.
Treatment lymphopenia
In a situation where lymphopenia has acquired the character, it is necessary to carry out an adequate causal treatment of the underlying disease, which is the root cause of its development.In most situations, the elimination of background pathology is accompanied by a self-leveling manifestations lymphopenia and normalization of the cells of peripheral blood.
pathogenetic therapy lymphopenia focus is to conduct immunoglobulinoterapii long course, which allows to eliminate the chronic nature of lymphopenia and prevent recurrent infection.Parenteral administration of immunoglobulin G is used not only for the suppression of severe inflammatory reactions in patients with immunodeficiency, but also to the normalization of the number of lymphocytic cells.When the patient has all the hallmarks of lymphopenia immunoglobulin dose is calculated by the body weight of the patient and 0.4 g per kg.Multiplicity intravenous administration is 1 biweekly.The indications for the cessation of parenteral immunoglobulinoterapii is the development of severe life-threatening adverse reactions of the patient in the form of hypotension up to the collapse, as well as severe allergic reactions.
Note that drug substitution therapy with immunoglobulin in the parenteral form does not have the desired effect in the existing inherent lymphopenia.In this situation, the only pathogenetic method of treatment is considered to be justified the transplantation of hematopoietic stem cell substrate.
Lymphopenia - a doctor will help ?In the presence or suspected development of lymphopenia should immediately consult a doctor such as a pediatrician, hematology, oncology, immunology and transplant.

The Glamaphones will be bringing it home this November with their Homegrown Aotearoa concert of kiwi music. There will be a Wellington concert at St Andrews on the Terrace on Saturday, 25 November that will include refreshments and a light supper after the performance. Tickets are available from choir members or this website. Kids aged 12 and under have free entry to the Wellington concert.
Note: Please search for the second, matinee concert in Paekakariki on Sunday, 26 November, if that's the one you are after.
This programme weaves together the traditional with the modern. Maori waiata form the foundation of the concert, craftily woven together by musical director Rachel Hyde with an line up of iconic kiwi pop. Rachel hopes that the concert will have broad appeal: Everyone will enjoy key moments of the kiwi songbook, with pop music stretching back to the seminal kiwi classic, Pixie Williams' 1940s hit "Blue smoke". The pop journey takes us through the decades, with contributions from 1970s Split Enz, 1980s Crowded House ("Don't dream it's over"), 1990s Mutton Birds, and a modern classic from Hollie Smith.
A "homegrown" line up has real significance for the choir. While some of the choir are kiwi born and bred, many members are more recent arrivals. "These songs have a distinctly kiwi feel that we can all identify with; they provide a common experience that remind us of how lucky we are to be a part of this progressive, compassionate and multi-cultural democracy", Rachel says.
Rachel is most grateful to the support of kiwi musicians in helping to make this programme work: "We have pieces especially arranged for the choir. The three songs from Don McGlashan deserve special mention. Both of his silver scroll winning compositions are included in our concert ("Anchor me" and "Bathe in the river") as is the Glamaphones' version of "Nature" which was covered by the Mutton Birds".
If you would like to support the choir further, you will be able to buy raffle tickets at both performances. Proceeds from the raffles will go towards taking the concert to Sydney in March 2018.

Vampire Weekend have released another track from their forthcoming new album, Modern Vampires Of The City. The new track "Ya Hey" only gets the lyric video treatment but at least you see some alright champagne shower footage in the background (just go with it). "Ya Hey" is set to a slower tempo but it also sports the sort of quality that makes it an excellent sing-along song at live shows. The lyrics basically tell you "no one loves, why love anything?" but you still find a way to look past it, and you can't help be empathize and be part of that act.
Koenig paints the story perfectly in the piano-heavy bridge and rather than have me describe that for ya, check it out above and enjoy it for yourself.
Out May 13th/14th, pre-order Modern Vampires… now: http://smarturl.it/mvotcpreorder

Looking back at 2013, a lot changed in the world of social media, specifically in the area of advertising. Facebook was no exception, rolling out sweeping changes once again to its advertising offerings in September.
In an effort to help small business owners get their arms around all the different ad sizes and types, our friends at Pagemodo created an infographic explaining the various offerings and their uses. It's definitely worth checking out – and bookmarking – if you plan to make a resolution to give Facebook advertising a try in 2014.

LOUISVILLE - Environmentalist Robert F. Kennedy Jr. told friends of the Ogeechee and Canoochee rivers last week that the resource of water belongs to the people and should be safeguarded for future generations.
"We are reminding people that they own this water," Kennedy said at an event organized by the Ogeechee-Canoochee Riverkeepers. "It doesn't belong to the government. It doesn't belong to Georgia Power or any industrial farm. It belongs to the people. This is in the Magna Carta, every state's constitution."
The scion of one of the country's highest-profile political families lamented that, in recent years, the environmental movement has been painted as a plank solely in the Democratic platform, when in fact it has nothing to do with political orientation.
"There is no such thing as a Republican or Democratic child," Kennedy said. "But environmentalists are being marginalized as tree huggers. There is nothing radical or militant about wanting clean water and clean air."
One of the founding members of the original Riverkeepers' Organization, Kennedy was the keynote speaker at a fundraiser at Old Town Plantation. Also featured was author Janisse Ray, who wrote "Ecology of a Cracker Childhood and Pinhook: Finding Wholeness in a Fragmented Land." She is a founding member of the Altamaha Riverkeeper and board member of the Satilla Riverkeeper.
"It was extraordinarily successful," said Ogeechee-Canoochee Riverkeeper Chandra Brown of last Saturday's event that raised about $150,000. "We raised a lot of money, but it was also about building support and raising awareness."

FTC Issues Revised "Green Guides"
November 9, 2012
In October, after nearly two years, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) released the revised "Green Guides." The Green Guides help industries avoid potential enforcement actions for deceptive environmental claims by offering clarification and guidance for marketers when making environmental marketing claims.
Of note for publishers, there were no changes made to the definitions or guidance publishers rely on, including the definition of pre and post-consumer waste. The guidance still allows publishers to claim multiple sources of fiber, including products containing pre-consumer sources like newsstand returns and printer waste and post-consumer sources as recycled. Products containing a mix of pre- and post-consumer waste may not be labeled as containing exclusively post-consumer recycled fiber.
To access the Green Guides please visit www.ftc.gov

September began with a bang! Robert and I went to see Peter Frampton!!!! It was probably one of the best shows I have ever seen.... EVER! Not only did he still have 'it' (well, not the trademark 70's hair), but I think his talent has only increased over the years. I had forgotten what an amazing musician he is. I'm only bummed because I didn't bring my better camera with me. Next time I will.
Using his famous 'talkbox'
Robert and I got home very late that night, but it was worth it!
On the 12th, we brought Sarah to her first Red Sox game. We also brought our friends' son, who also was going to his first Sox game.
Jordan, Robert & Sarah
Sarah & me
We had a 2 hour rain delay, not actually for rain, but in anticipation of rain.
Josh Beckett was on the mound that night
And the boys gave him some run support
Me going to a Sox game and not getting a pic of Big Papi is like going to a game and not cheering your fav team on!
But in the 6th inning, the rain finally came down for an actual rain delay
They finally called the game just before midnight, and we won, 9-1.
What happens when William gets a hold of Mom's camera? Let's see... he will take pictures of:
Steve's car
The view from the sliding doors
His ball
The view from the side sunroom window (and even got his reflection!)
The destruction he leaves in his wake
His Star Wars sticker book
The bottom of his foot
And the rocker-recliner
Then Robert discovered he had the camera and ended his fun.
On the 19th, Robert and I entered a 5K to benefit the Brattelboro Walk-In Clinic It was a challenging course with hills but what a great way to start our day!
It's definitely a run we will do next year. You've got to love a run that after the raffle numbers are drawn, they ask, "Did everyone get a prize? If not, there are plenty left over; come pick something out. And don't forget to take a loaf or two of bread home!" The bread, by the way, was donated by The Vermont Bread Company and was yummy!
Stay tuned for October ;)

Johnny Unitas remembered as great man
It is with great distress that I have read recent news articles depicting in graphic detail the financial adversity which has befallen Baltimore Colts hero Johnny Unitas. To see this good person undergo such suffering strikes at the heart of me.
I know little about the world of high finance. What I will never forget is that a few brief years ago when Mr. Unitas was an owner of the Golden Arm Restaurant on York Road, his presence brought a special panache to that establishment above and beyond the excellent service, courtesy, good food and attention to detail which still exists today.


text: Actress Park Han Byul recently spoke up about marriage plans with her 10-year boyfriend, Se7en (Choi Dong Wook). On June 21st, Park Han Byul attended a media day for her upcoming film 'Two Moons' at a bar in Apgujung, Seoul. During the event, the subject of marriage was brought up, and the actress was asked about her marriage plans with her long time boyfriend. She answered, "Dong Wook needs to complete his military service, first." Park Han Byul and Se7en are known to have been dating for over 10 years now. The two met when they were students in Ahnyang High School and have maintained their love for each other ever since. She continued, "He hasn't decided on when he'll enlist, but marriage will come after that. Even when he enlists, I don't think it will hit me that he's actually gone. I probably won't feel sad about it and just be like, 'Okay, see you when you get back'," causing everyone to laugh at her casual attitude. Park Han Byul then added, "I may worry about him, but since it's mandatory, it's better to just send him off with a light heart." Directed by Kim Dong Bin, 'Two Moons' tells the mysterious story of three people who end up losing their memory after visiting an isolated home. The movie is set to release on July 12th.

Hot Pot BBQ
Just as efficient and clever, and even more agreeable to look at than this balcony BBQ is this balcony BBQ, the Hot Pot grill from black+blum. A sizzler and herb garden rolled into one, the terra cotta pot's planted top lifts to reveal a small charcoal grilling surface underneath. The Hot Pot can add space-saving character to a small patio or balcony in the same breath it adds basil, rosemary, cilantro, or parsley to burgers and kebabs.
The Hot Pot's BBQing surface area measures about 11-1/2" in diameter and the grill stands 10-1/2" high. The stainless steel cooking structure is coated in insulating ceramic and accompanied by a pair of stainless steel tongs with a storage slot. Note that plants installed in the grill's lid should be housed in watertight containers.
black+blum also takes credit for the ironically heart-melting design of this polar bear ice tray.
The Hot Pot BBQ is a top Dude Gift for the Garden pick.

The stretches on this
tape aren't as relaxing as other tapes like Karen
Voight's or Denise Austin's stretch tapes, mainly because
they're shorter, and you don't have time to really get
into it. But when you're looking for just some short
segments to start or end your workout, this is a good
Annie S.
This is a compilation of stretching routines from the
Firm's six original total-body workout tapes. Routines
average about 7-8 minutes, and include a floor segment
and a standing segment.
This is not a tape to use for
relaxation--e.g., if you've had a hard day at work and
want to get the kinks out. The segments are too short for
a thorough de-kinking. Furthermore, there's very little
attention paid to shoulders, back and neck (the areas
you're likely to be most tense after a hard day).
However, this is a good tape to whip out if you've
been running or working out and want to do a short
stretch to finish up so you won't be cramped up the next
day. Or sometimes I'll do a segment in the morning while
my daughter's eating her cereal, just to get my blood
If you can find this cheap on sale, you might want to
pick it up; otherwise, I'd recommend investing in a more
thorough, longer stretching routine like Karen Voight's.
Penny Ward
This video has five stretch segments. The music is calming, and the stretches are attainable and feel great. Unlike some other athletic stretch routines, these are choreographed, so you almost feel like you're dancing. There are standing and floor stretches, and many segments end with a little energizing movement that makes you feel great. I often do one of these stretch segments after another aerobics video, because the Firm stretch makes me feel the way I want after a workout -- completely relaxed and energized. I'll NEVER sell or give away this video. It's an "A++".
The Firm instructors in this tape are all gorgeous Barbie-doll types, who are extremely flexible. They are motivating BECAUSE they're beautiful. They don't spout platitudes about "being proud of you" or "you're doing great"; instead, they make you feel like you're part of their beautiful-people class. After doing a Firm video, you FEEL beautiful, too!
Lilly Anderson
I use this tape for the same reasons that other reviewers use it--if I feel that I need a longer stretch before or especially after another workout. It's great for that, because each section will give you about 7 minutes of a combination of floor and standing stretches. I especially use it with tapes that don't include a thorough stretch, such as the Great Moves tapes. I also use it if I really want to stretch a little bit but I don't have time for a full-length yoga tape. It's also good if you are sore from a previous workout--it will help you work the kinks out!
Instructor comments: This tape is edited from the Classic Firms. The instructors are Susan Harris, Janet Jones-Gretzky, Sandahl Bergman, Kai Soremukin, LaReine Chabut and Jayne Poteet. They are all adequate. And flexible, too!
Kristin Aziz
This tape has five sections, each with about 10 minutes of stretch routines compiled from the classic Firm workouts. I usually use this one as an add on to tapes that I feel I didn't get a good enough stretch out of, or if I am feeling I need to stretch my lower body out after sitting at my desk all day. I don't find that there are enough upper body stretches in any of the sections, for my liking.
This tape is hard to come by as it is out of print now. I happened upon it on ebay a while back and like it just enough to keep it in my collection. I really enjoy shorter stretch tapes and this one fits the bill just fine.
All of the sections are from volume 1-6 of the classic firms. Each section features two different instructors and there is the usual "parts" girl to set you up for the sections. Themusic is terrible (as it is the same as the classics tapes) and it is certainly not a tape you would reach for to relax and unwind to.
If you can find this tape for really, really cheap - pick it up. It will provide you with 5 short stretch routines. If you can't find it cheap - forget about it. In my opinion it isn't worth taking the time to actively hunt for, unless you need it to complete your Firm collection!

The new Bloksma FlowBox cooler for cargo and working ships combines the benefits of box coolers and plate heat exchangers
Press Release
06. September 2016 With its Bloksma FlowBox, Kelvion offers a high-performance maritime cooler for tugboats, freighters, dredgers, and supply ships. Especially in stationary service, the FlowBox allows appreciably greater cooling duty than do conventional box coolers with the same dimensions. To achieve these benefits, the FlowBox implements demand-controlled forced circulation of the cooling sea water.
Even in stationary operation, the cooler accordingly offers greater output and – owing to its small footprint – still finds room, for example, in a double hull. In the interior of the FlowBox, U-shaped heat exchanger tube bundles ensure effective heat exchange to the sea water. These tube bundles are designed for media temperatures up to 94 °C and for operating pressures of 4 bar. In the cooling box, sea water flows around the tubes and leaves the cooler with a maximum temperature of 55 °C.
Since the operation of the pump can be matched to ship application conditions – normal speed ahead, slow speed, or stationary duty – the operating costs remain modest. Simple service and repair not least contribute to low life-cycle costs: the FlowBox can be disassembled and cleaned easily and without special tools, even outside a dry dock. Its design, with a reduced number of wear parts, reduces expense in stocking spare parts.
The Bloksma FlowBox from Kelvion is available in four different length/width dimensions, and with depths from 250 to 2000 mm – in offering the ideal model to match the required cooling duty. The enclosure can also be designed for greater cooling duty, in the event that allowing for retrofit of a cooling element is necessary.
Kelvion at SMM, Hamburg, 6 to 9 September 2016, Hall A3/Stand A3.216

This will be my last post wearing winter attire. I am so ready for spring. This winter has been super cold and miserable and I am ready to see it go!!!
But moving on....
This sheer striped turtleneck top by Jason Wu that Naomi Campbell is wearing caught my eye instantly. I've been loving the sheer trend (when it's not totally sheer) so this was a perfect look to recreate. I like that the top is not totally sheer, so it's appropriate for various settings. I found one at drumroll.....Forever 21 of course....and was so excited when it came in the mail, and it was pretty cheap too. Yeah it's not a dead ringer, but it has the striped and sheer elements that Naomi's had so that was fine with me. And because I loved her whole outfit, I added a fur gilet and ankle boots to my outfit as well (and the hat....no....).

CNYC's full-service carpentry shop gives our youth the chance to explore a trade. Youth can access the woodshop in the afternoons, Monday through Friday, once class is complete in the mornings. The woodshop is overseen by our master furniture maker, Mike Fulop, who provides safety training, hands-on guidance and creative mentorship for the youth.
The youth have a variety of projects to choose from including stools, benches, patio furniture, lamps, coffee tables, kitchen tables, rain barrels, birdhouses, garden boxes, yoga blocks and cutting boards. Not unlike our other programming, the carpentry and woodshop program intends to provide youth with experience and skills that are transferable to a vocation outside of CNYC. Completing projects in the woodshop also brings youth a strong sense of accomplishment, satisfaction and empowerment.
Beyond the furniture, cutting boards and rain barrels, the woodshop also gives collaborative support to our Aboriginal programming by providing youth with the tools and materials to create cultural crafts such as drums, bows, and feather boxes. These projects are co-facilitated by our cultural coordinator who shares the teachings and historical importance of both the process and the final product. In this way, the carpentry shop is another entry for young Aboriginal women and men to learn about their culture in a supportive and positive environment.
Check out stuff for sale that was made in our carpentry workshops by talented youth at CNYC!
Cutting Boards
$70.00 - $100.00
For inquiries about availability, please contact CNYC.

Everything about Pharrell Williams is pretty cool (apart from that hat he seems to be continuously wearing at the moment) so it might come as a surprise to some he wasn't always happy in his own musical skin.
The American star has blurted some words from his mouth about his first solo record In My Mind which he released in 2006.
And he says he was just one big boastful bloke with an ego and he'd rather have been like some other megastars you might have heard of - Jay Z and Puff Daddy (or P Diddy, or just Diddy or what ever his name is now).
The singer told GQ Magazine: "I wanted to be like Jay. I wanted to be like Puff. Those are their paths. I got my own path. But I didn't know what my path was. I knew that I was meant to do something different. I knew that I needed to inject purpose into my music."
Well, who knew that his path in early 2014 would meander down pretty much every awards ceremony red carpet and he would walk it while wearing a rather silly oversized hat.
Perhaps he's trying to convince us that he's got so many ideas of how to "inject purpose" into his music that he has to wear that hat on his head to stop his massive brain busting his skull open.
Remembering his 2006 album In My Mind, Pharrell admits he found the lavish lifestyle he was leading and the beautiful things he gained as a result of its release simply became too much to handle and he couldn't take the attention from the girls and found his mounds of cash difficult to deal with - poor guy.
He said: "I wrote those songs out of ego. Talking about the money I was making and the by-products of living that lifestyle. What was good about that? What'd you get out of it? There was no purpose. I was so under the wrong impression at that time.
"The money was too loud. The success was too much. The girls were too beautiful. The jewelry was too shiny. The cars were too fast. The houses were too big. It's like not knowing how to swim and being thrown in the ocean for the first time. Everything is just too crazy."
Well, Mr Williams, send some of that loud money, those fast cars and those big houses our way! We'd swim in them just fine!

I am a former drama teacher and administrator in charge of facilities for the Richland School District and current president of Community Concerts of the Tri-Cities. I fully support the need for a performing arts center in our community. I also endorse the idea of a public/private partnership. I don't speak for our board, but I know CCTC struggles every year to house our five or six yearly performances in the existing local venues.
However, I don't believe we need a 2,500 seat facility. CCTC is a 1,200 member organization. We currently use Faith Assembly or RHS auditoriums and never fill either for our concerts. I have attended many performances by local groups and none have ever required 2,500 seats. Local groups offer multiple performances when appropriate.
For touring company performances it is true that we draw more than 1,200 and might draw 2,500 or more, but those crowds could be accommodated with multiple performances. Only rock concerts and similar events which can still be accommodated at our current Toyota Center need more than 2,500 seats.
What we need is a performance venue sized for our community's performing arts audience with a professional stage, lighting and sound system. The house needs comfortable accessible seating and great acoustics.

Most important, the facility must also be affordable for local groups to rent and use.
The key to success for the effort to gain a performing arts center is convincing the public that the facility fits our community needs; that we are not building a Taj Mahal. The aquatic center failed because it didn't meet the needs our community as seen by the voting public, and compromised on the needs of its biggest supporters.
CCTC probably would not rent a 2,500 seat facility five times each year. We couldn't afford it and our membership would not pay the increased cost it would require of them. We must not build a facility so costly that local groups can't afford to use it.
If our voters are convinced that the facility will meet the needs of our community I believe we will support it.

We Are Literally Reaping What We Sow!
Published September 7, 2016 by Muna Ali and Omar Dahir
Under the blazing afternoon sun, a yellow flag that reads 'MAAnDALIZI YA MAPEMA' rises high and waves in the hot dry wind in the schoolyard of Ngaremara Day Secondary School, in isiolo county, northern kenya.
It translates to 'early preparation' ,as we are told by 17-year-old Evans as his face breaks into a shy smile. "The yellow flag was raised back in February 2015, which means pasture is inadequate in this area, water is scarce and milk production is decreasing and we need to prepare for drought" he further explains.
In the small Ngaremara Settlement about 20 km from Isiolo town, people would often find themselves trapped in cycles of unexpected droughts, ill-equipped and unprepared to face the shock or mitigate the damage it has caused until the drought Ambassadors Club was established in the school back in March 2015.
"The club has been growing our minds and characters in many ways. We have learned about climate change, the early warning signs of drought and we share this knowledge with our families and community. More importantly, we learned to garden, the process has been fun, engaging and now we literally reap what we sow in the school garden."
Evans and some 39 other students are the active members of the club and ambassadors to their community that raise awareness around the drought status in using color-coded flags that indicate the 4 stages of drought. In the schoolyard, the yellow flag is waving now.
The young boys and girls are trained on drought cycle management and early warning information dissemination using color-coded flags, as the ambassador to their community, they play an important role in spreading the word and sharing the knowledge with their families and peers alike. This has the potential to minimize the harmful impact that the pastoralists may face at times of unpredicted disasters.
"As a pastoral community our livelihoods is rooted into the land and livestock that we rear, Evans says. But in the club, we are also trained on pursuing another alternative source of livelihood; farming. We were trained on farming different crops and fruit trees. As a result, we have established a small school garden where we planted maize, spinach, tomato and watermelon. Little did we know that planting and gardening not only supplement our diet but they also reverse the climatic degradation that led to drought in the first place."
Through the support of REGAL-IR partnered with the Kenya's National Drought Management Authority (NDMA) the project was able to reach hundreds of children, their educators, and families at the same time while creating a community that places value on preparedness and resilience against natural shocks such as droughts.

A New Sheet
He came to my desk with a quivering lip,
the lesson was done.
"Have you a new sheet for me, dear teacher?
I've spoiled this one."
I took his sheet, all soiled and blotted
and gave him a new one all unspotted.
And into his tired heart I cried,
"Do better now, my child."
I went came to the throne with a trembling heart;
the day was done.
"Have you a new day for me, dear Master?
I've spoiled this one."
He took my day, all soiled and blotted
and gave me a new one all unspotted.
And into my tired heart he cried,
"Do better now, my child."

Not in Vain
Not in vain, the tedious toil, On an unresponsive soil,
Travail, tears in secret shed, Over hopes that lay as dead.
All in vain, thy faint heart cries. Not in vain, thy Lord replies:
Nothing is to good to be; Then believe, believe to see.
Did thy labor turn to dust? Suff'ring – did it eat like rust
Till the blade that once was keen, As a blunted tool is seen?
Dust and rust thy life's reward? Slay the thought; believe thy Lord!
When thy soul is in distress, Think upon His faithfulness.
Though there be not fig nor vine, In thy stall there be no kine,
Flock be cut off from the fold, Not a single lamb be told,
And thy olive berry fall Yielding no sweet oil at all,
Pulse-seed wither in the pod – Still do thou rejoice in God.
But consider, was it vain, All the travail on the plain?
For the bud is on the bough; It is green where thou didst plow.
Listen, tramp of little feet, Call of little lambs that bleat;
Hearken to it. Verily, Nothing is too good to be.

Pyramath I See Cards- a TOS review
I was given the opportunity to review Pyramath math cards. I just love these cards. They come with directions but when do I ever follow those? Honestly it is hard to know where to begin. Basically it is a card deck (not with the regular number of cards) and you add, subtract, multiply or divide to make a pyramid and turn over cards as you would for solitaire. They are highly visual colorful cards.

Time4Writing- A TOS review
- Feedback on how you are doing. You can do your work at any time. There is a teacher (actual person) there to help your student on a 24 hour feedback loop via 'email' in the classroom. This is not quite accurate if you want to do more than one assignment. In the beginning of the class we received 24 hour feedback. Later on in took longer and if we did more than one assignment only one was graded per day. Sometimes it did take longer than 24 hours.
- There is audio instruction for the visually impaired but you will need help from another person to take the quizzes as they are not audio given. Or, if you can read the pages via various technologies for the visually impaired, you should be fine with the quizzes. (Hopefully I stated all this right- we don't deal with visual impairments here so I don't know the lingo but I did like that there was audio.)
- If you have a lot of children this might prove useful to help take some of the burden off of teaching things yourself. In addition, in the higher grades it might prove beneficial to have the aid of an actual teacher help you figure out if what your child is doing is 'correct.'
- The audio portion was excellent in following the written text and very clear. Andrew, a cochlear implant user since 1 year old, was able to clearly hear the audio even with the dishwasher and washing machine going.
- Andrew does not do well with grades and percentages. If he gets less than 100% he gets very upset. We have found this with two other programs that we use. This is a graded program. Some folks love this. (Thus the "difficulties for US" title.)
- This particular program does not use very many videos; however, they are not closed captioned. All of the material was also available in written form on the same page but not 'captioned.' If you need captioning you will want to contact them first to see how many videos they may have in the program you are considering (either time4writing or time4learning.) I am speaking ONLY of the grammar lesson of Time4Writing. I do not know the details of the others but this is a question I would ask if it is important for you.
- Andrew still needs direct 1:1 and so while he found this program 'interesting' and it was easy to use, I still had to be there to guide him or he would have ended up on a gaming site in about 60 seconds. It was interesting but not THAT interesting. It was still 'work' to him. (Kind of like I go to look for something on the internet and end up on Facebook...not that I do that or anything..)
- If you wanted your child to be able to do this independently they will need to know how to grab text and cut and paste it into the work area and also change text to italics. They gave options such as 'type answer into box' instead of copying and pasting. On some of the pages, I would print out the exercise and have him do it on paper. On other ones, I would do the typing for him online. Some of the assignments I just corrected them because I wasn't going to retype the whole thing online since he did it on paper. The actual teacher then grades this work. With a bit of instruction Andrew could probably do this but I didn't see the need to address that at this point. We do so much of our work orally with me giving immediate feedback that the teacher was a bit redundant, but this could be very helpful for those in a large family whose child was an independent worker. These options (computer) are available earlier in the academic career than some of the other online and cd rom 'school' options which generally start in later elementary. These can start at kindergarten or first grade.
- I felt that some of the beginning grammar lessons were not 'beginner.' When talking about adjectives (in the beginning course), they gave a quiz to identify adjectives. One example was "This pizza has peperoni." Andrew told me that "THIS" was not an adjetive and that it was a pronoun. I did write the teacher on Time4Writing and heard back very quickly. She indicated that "this, that these and those" are demonstrative adjectives. I looked it up (ie: googled it) and sure enough they are. Still, this is quite hard for a beginner (K-1 st grade) and I ended up asking quite a few adults who didn't know the answer. If you were brand new to grammar you might need additional helps. Others I spoke to doing this review thought that the lessons were too easy. (See banner at top to go to the link for more reviews.)
- I disagreed with the teacher in more than one instance as to the answer on written exercises and quizzes. Her explanations did not convince me I was wrong, and this was beginning grammar. I will admit that I did some of the exercises (written and quizzes) myself because I did not feel it would work for Andrew but still wanted to 'trial' the program to give it a fair evaluation. My informal survey on Facebook (very scientific) of who was right ended up in my favor. To be honest, I don't mind disagreements, but you can't 'argue' with the teacher in this instance and for what it's worth, I don't know if I 'trust' the grades given. This is probably the same as in any program online though. One of the other reasons I like homeschooling is that Andrew can give me an answer that might not agree with mine but if the explanation is reasonable I can count it as right OR give further explanation as to why I am correct.
- You are only allowed to do one graded assignment a day. This is one of the biggest reasons we love homeschooling; flexibility. I get why they do this. They have to when dealing with many kids papers to grade but for our school it would not work.

My name is Amy....
- Hearing impaired elementary school: It became apparent that Andrew was much higher in 'skill' for any of the academics in this program. Although we struggle with some of the same subjects now that we did then, I felt he would be extremely bored in this environment. I wanted co-operative type of education and this program seemed restrictive. The HI elementary program has since moved districts. Our old preschool teacher is going to teach kindergarten next year...bummer. I am guessing it is better now.
- Autism classroom: In one classroom I visited, I was left alone with another parent with the students. The para had left for an early lunch and one of the kids became a 'runner.' The teacher went to catch him..and there we were. In another classroom the kids were on the floor licking toys. (Andrew does lick toys but this is not what I would 'show' as my best day to people.)
- "Inclusion": Forgive me while I laugh. I visited a classroom with an autistic child "Billy." It was Billy's birthday and the teacher said while I was there, "everyone tell Billy happy birthday." She then said, "see, he's included." In another classroom there was direct instruction going on. The autistic girl had an aid sitting next to her. The person giving the tour said, "you'd never know she was autistic if she didn't have the aid." NO one was doing anything in the classroom..how could you tell? She was also on the wrong page while the teacher was talking and the aid was not helping in any way. I always thought one polished their shoes for a 'tour'..and if this was their BEST..I was concerned.

WaPo Continues Bush-Bash… Blames "W" For Al-Qaeda Hate
The Washington Post continued its Bush-bash today:
"The departure of George W. Bush deprived al-Qaeda of a polarizing American leader who reliably drove recruits and donations to the terrorist group."
You can bet that The Washington Post will blame Bush the next time we are attacked, too.
Because we all know the only reason Al-Qaeda hated America was because of George W. Bush.
I suppose the same could be said for The Washington Post and democrats, too.

Some people just have a knack at DIY. Some don't. And some think they'll give it a bash even though they've never actually successfully accomplished any DIY project before. That's where our new Mediamum contributor, Ian Fixit, comes in. Ian is the Aussie King of DYI (do yourself in) – his special version of DIY.
Ian's DIY experience is full of great how-to lessons for us all. How about how-to DIY the paint job on the front fence which Ian undertook and in his slap-dashery managed to get paint splatters on his car, parked in the garage 8m away.
Ian admits he has only two contributing factors to his outstanding abilities. He says:
a. Firstly I lack planning, patience, and discipline. (OK, that might be 3 things.)
b. Secondly I haven't got "that" tradesman knack of doing things. I'm a ten-thumbs bloke.
Ian'll be sharing tips and tricks for your own projects around the house, as well as sharing some of his own upcoming jobs he's going to have a go at (unless his wife stops him), such as re-rendering part of the house, and staining the deck.
So Ian would love to help you with any problems or DIY projects around the place. Send an email to [email protected] or use the blog contact form with your job, and a picture (of you, your job, your tools… anything relevant. Or chocolate. Chocolate's always a winner. Maybe if you have chocolate tools, that could be even better.). Ian will choose one a week to provide his own special brand of DIY advice on, and it will be published right here on Mediamum. Oh, and while you might not end up with a successful ending, you will get a laugh and a lovely Australiana momento (such as a keyring) sent to you as a thank you.
Ian says:
Why pay horrendous amounts of hard earned dollars to have a carpenter, plumber, roof tiler, or other "tradie" visit your place when with my help, you'll save a packet and be the envy of your neighbours, friends, and family? I can even let you know about Gutter Repair: The signs you can't escape it any more, and how you can fix it.
Okay, my techniques might not be out of a textbook. And I don't mind taking a few shortcuts even at the expense of putting the end product into disrepair. Sure, my wife shivers when she sees me using anything sharp or powered by electricity, but I'm keen to get in and have a good old amateur shot at it.
Some come on! Share your DYI jobs with me and see if I can give you my slant on how best to approach them. And be sure to take those all important before and after photos with me. A picture tells a thousand words.
Disclaimer: Ian is not a professional tradesman and carries no qualifications in this field. Ian's tips are not to be taken as good advice and Ian holds no responsibility to the outcome of any work undertaken using his suggestions. If you do choose to take Ian's advice, be prepared. You'll be needing Ian's further advice on how to fix the newly presented problem. It's referred to as the Fixit Snowball Effect.

Don Ressler is the founder and CEO of multiple companies. And he isn't your average founder. He didn't come from money or get lucky with one startup idea in his dorm room at college and then become a billionaire. In fact, Ressler worked his way up from the bottom to form multiple brands achieve massive success.
He began with his own startup, which had excellent results. It was called FitnessHeaven.com and Ressler was able to turn around and sell it later on to a company called Intermix. At Intermix, he worked hard to raise in the ranks and eventually become the CEO. There, he also met a partner named Adam Goldenberg. They were fast friends and helped each other improve the performance marketing company they were working for. Eventually, they got the idea to form their own startup again and created Alena Media.
Alena Media quickly caught fire and it was bought by News Corp. This meant that their main profit center was hiding behind too many lines and red tape at the corporation. They realized they needed to strike it out on their own to really make a difference in the world and they wanted to provide opportunities in the realm of performance marketing and brand building. In a two week long session of brainstorming, they got their team together and came up with ideas in the living room of the founder's home. They finally rested on Brand Ideas, which quickly became known as Intelligent Brands.
Intelligent brands is probably what Ressler is most known for today. He was raised numerous rounds of funding from many investors totallinng over $100 million. Their brand lines range, but include Fabletics, JustFab, and SENSA. The stores are all mostly targeted to women and focus on fashion and ecommerce retail. Some stores, like DERMASTORE, are actually marketplaces for physical products like cosmetics and skin care. And their celebrity endorsements have been useful in raising the sales. Ressler has helped build up these companies to contain more of the market share. In fact, they reached a market cap of $250 million recently, which is quite large.
When it comes to a man like Don Ressler, it is clear that he is a visionary. He is also a hard worker. With his knowledge of the market place, Don Ressler has managed to create some of the world's most successful brands that really make a difference in peoples lives.

How to Benefit Spiritually from Pascha Week
by H.H. Pope Shenouda III
It is very noticeable that many people during Passion Week act very differently inside church than they do outside church. Inside church… black curtains, sad hymns, solemn readings, and complete concentration on the suffering of Christ. However, outside of church, we often laugh, joke around, socialize, think and talk about many worldly issues. We lose all the spiritual depth that we gained inside church. Let us concentrate our thoughts, conversations, and meditations around the events of this Holy Week and the passion of our Savior.
During our regular fasting days, we put the words of the Bible before us, "Consecrate a fast, call a sacred assembly " (Joel 1: 14). How much more then should we apply this commandment during Holy Week? This week should be characterized by solitude and retreat with God by staying away from idle discussions, various means of entertainment and pleasures. Reserve your time for God and to spiritual activities worthy of this week.
Meditate on the events of the week one by one, from Palm Sunday when Christ refused His worldly kingdom and the Jews gave up their hopes in Him, until they crucified and buried Him. On Palm Sunday, ask yourself: Is Christ King and Lord over everything in my life? Do I, like Christ, turn down worldly glory for spiritual and eternal glory? And during the "general funeral" afterwards, consider yourself attending your own funeral (because during this week the church will not hold funeral services). Also, when the church denounces Judas' betrayal with a kiss on the eve of Wednesday's Pascha, ask yourself in prayer, "How often, O Lord, have I betrayed You?" "How many times have I told You words of love in prayers, while my actions show the opposite and my heart is far away from You?"
St. Paul said "That I may know Him and the power of His resurrection, and the fellowship of His suffering, being conformed to His death" (Philippians 3:10). Can we give ourselves an exercise this week to share in the fellowship of His suffering and be conformed to His death? (source of this article: St-Takla.org) Can we follow Him in His suffering and ascend with Him to the cross? Can we say with St. Paul "With Christ I have been crucified; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me" (Gal. 2:20). Therefore, in order for Christ to live in us, we have to carry our cross and follow Him. If you have a cross in your life, don't complain about it, but rather rejoice in it and bear it for Christ's sake. "For to you it has been granted on behalf of Christ, not only to believe in Him but to suffer for His sake" (Phil. 1:29).
Whoever puts the suffering of Christ before Him will not take any pleasure in eating, drinking or pampering the body. But in order to succeed in pursuing asceticism,
we must satisfy our souls with spiritual food so that it may thrive and overcome physical hunger.
Spiritual readings are also food for the soul. The church has organized for us a treasure of appropriate readings for every day of Holy Week. This consists of Gospel readings, Old Testament prophecies that correspond to the events of each day, spiritual explanations and sermons of the church fathers and on Holy Saturday (Apocalypse night) the church reads the entire book of Revelation.
The hymns of Passion Week are moving and full of spiritual depth. Also, Hymns, like reading, preserve thoughts from wandering and guides them in a spiritual direction.
Since the prayers of the Agpeya are not used during Holy Week, we are to substitute personal prayers in their place. This is in addition to the intensive prayers of the church asking the Lord, who bore the sins of the world and died for us, to forgive and have mercy upon us according to His great mercy.
