Robert Hidey Architects has built an exceptional reputation over the past 25 years with a legacy of creating distinct and viable communities that enrich lives. Our diverse national and international portfolio has impacted residential industries worldwide, distinguishing our developer clients from their competition.
Robert Hidey's passion for residential architecture and land planning began while growing up surrounded by the artistry and beauty of the pastoral Frederick L. Olmsted, Jr.-planned seaside community of Palos Verdes Estates.
In 1991, Robert Hidey fulfilled a dream of bringing these traditional architectural elements to a broader audience when he established Robert Hidey Architects, Inc. (RHA). Since then, RHA has pioneered housing trends and enriched the residential surroundings of numerous communities across the western United States and the world. RHA's highly successful architectural design and meticulous attention to detail manifest a distinctive blend of art, history, creativity, and technology.
Exterior designs inspired by a rich architectural pedigree of centuries past, couple with inventive and functional floor plans that respond to the needs of an increasingly savvy homeowner of the present to help RHA consistently produce housing and community designs that will bring lasting satisfaction to their beneficiaries for many generations. By bringing a traditional, time-honored architectural aesthetic to a broader, more sophisticated housing market, RHA has pioneered some of the most original and creative floor plan designs and land planning of the last 20 years.
Today, RHA has approximately 50 employees in its headquarters in Irvine, California. RHA maintains a talented staff of licensed architects and experienced designers, including AIA, CSI,CGBP, and LEED professionals. Strong diversification in single-family, multi-family, attached and detached housing, mixed use, mid-rise, interior architecture and high-rise residential design has established RHA's illustrious design traditions in housing markets throughout North America and Asia.
RHA is fastidious about the research and development of every project. From validating the vernacular of a certain region, to designing for a particular lifestyle, each design solution merits a distinct approach. Designs are reviewed continually, from the conceptual stages through the construction documents. Enhancements to all phases are typically part of the procedure. Our team consistently "rises to the occasion" and provides new and fresh design solutions that apply to today's lifestyle.
The atmosphere of RHA fosters a collaborative effort which inspires the team, its clients, and consultants to reach a level of architecture and design that exceeds expectations. Our ability to actively listen and respond to clients' needs is instrumental in fostering our long-standing relationships, together with a commitment to design excellence. Our technical approach and sustainable strategies allows our design team to fully leverage technologies and develop real and viable building solutions that achieve maximum performance and benefit.
The opposing disciplines of art and science are aligned in one of the guiding principles of the RHA teams: the questions asked are often more important than the answers generated. This is especially true in the process of architecture, where perspective determines outcome. An RHA Team is a collaborative structure that brings together the right mix of people to optimize this process. Projects benefit from efficient decision-making, consideration of various building disciplines, and consistent focus on overall design objectives.
We establish our teams by recognizing the strengths of each member and utilizing their strengths to benefit all members. By encouraging the contributions of all team members through each phase of a project, design resources are maximized, a greater variety of ideas are considered, and design philosophies are reinforced, to the benefit of the project, the associate (team member), and the firm.
It's important to note that the client is truly a part of each team, bringing a valued and highly relevant perspective to the collaborative process, and helping to keep key objectives in focus.
Sustainable strategies and practices provide value in the marketplace and help us to sustain quality of life and environment. Our process and approach to sustainability incorporates a site's natural surroundings and climatic conditions to provide a basis for how we implement passive sustainable strategies, as well as, active systems and technologies to achieve maximum performance and benefits.READ MORE

Starting at just $6050, and available with an optional 3-year/36,000 mile or 5-year/60,000 mile Powertrain Warranty you can rest easy knowing that you are covered for any of those "what if" scenarios.
Ventura, CA (PRWEB) March 26, 2012
Magnuson Products, LLC is excited to announce its new pricing for the MP2300 TVS Supercharger for the 2011+ Ford Mustang GT with the 5.0L Coyote motor. Never has this much performance been so affordable. Starting at just $6050 for the black powder coated finish (or $6150 for the FR Blue finish), the MP2300 TVS Supercharger system produces 8-8.5 psi of boost and now a whopping 545+ hp while remaining 50-state emissions legal under CARB EO# D-488-18. Available with an optional 3-year/36,000 mile or 5-year/60,000 mile Powertrain Warranty you can rest easy knowing that you are covered for any of those "what if" scenarios.
Installation of this supercharger kit is a breeze – taking the average installer less than 8 hours to complete. Unlike other positive displacement superchargers for the 5.0L Mustang, Magnuson's TVS2300 system does not require removal of the FEAD (accessory belt) system or modification to the timing cover. It also reuses as many factory components as possible, resulting in a very factory-looking installation that maintains the reliability and accessibility of the stock components. Tuning the vehicle's computer is the responsibility of the pre-programmed SCT handheld included with the kit.
Always on the cutting edge of design and technology, Magnuson has broken the mold of traditional Mustang supercharger design with their 5.0 supercharger. Using a front-drive/front-inlet design keeps the air flow as straight as possible and avoids the restriction and turbulence typically associated with traditional rear-entry systems. The short-runner manifold also maximizes air flow and minimizes restriction with no loss of low-end response. This is because the near-instant boost response of the TVS supercharger creates all of the low-end torque you need. Magnuson's unique offset idler pulley setup also helps to maximize belt contact with the pulley and reduces the possibility of slippage by maintaining 270° of belt wrap no matter what diameter pulley is used.
Magnuson Products, LLC is a Ventura, CA-based ISO/TS 16949 certified manufacturer specializing in hybrid-roots superchargers utilizing EATON®'s 5th and 6th Generation supercharger rotor groups. As a producer of both OEM and Aftermarket superchargers Magnuson is committed to delivering the highest quality, longest lasting, and most reliable superchargers on the market while staying on the forefront of technology and design.

What causes stress?
Think about bad experiences we make. Any traumatic experience does something with us and can lead to anxiety or PTSD.
Think about environmental factors such as a stressful job, an unhappy relationship or grief after the loss of someone important or a status. All of those factors do shape us and leave scars. The good news is, there is more than prevention in order to fight those changes in our lives. There are many ways to clean our minds and souls from negative energy.
Irrespective of how bad we feel and how terribly painful some situations feel we can handle any situatioin with a positive mind. The mind does not follow commandos and therefore there are tools to create a clear mind and to put things into perspective- reducing anxiety and feeling less stressed.
Stress management is not hocus-pocus. It is real and it is not only spiritual. In fact there is a lot of science behind it.
- MindfullnessMindfulness has its roots in Buddhist meditation and means maintaining a moment-by-moment awareness of our thoughts, feelings, bodily sensations, and surrounding.Mindfulness involves acceptance, paying attention to our thoughts and feelings without judging them. When we practice mindfulness, our thoughts tune into what we're sensing in the present moment rather than rehashing the past or imagining the future. One reason scientists are so interested in mindfulness meditation is that it is a cognitive exercise. Scientists like cognitive exercises. Mindfulness meditation is the most scientific spiritual practice ever.
- Shinrin Yoku Forest Therapy (Forest bathing)The Japanese practice of forest bathing is proven to lower heart rate and blood pressure, reduce stress hormone production, boost the immune system, and improve overall feelings of wellbeing. A forest bathing trip involves spending a short, leisurely time in a forest setting, for the purpose of absorbing the forest's healing ambience. Key to the experience is the inhalation of wood essential oils,but visual, auditory, and other sensory stimuli are also important.Being in the presence of trees became part of a national public health program in Japan in 1982. Forest air doesn't just feel fresher and better—inhaling phytoncide (essential oils) seems to actually improve immune system function.
- Progressive muscle relaxation
Progressive Muscle Relaxation teaches you how to relax your muscles through a two-step process. First of all , you systematically tense particular muscle groups in your body, such as your neck and shoulders. Next, you release the tension and notice how your muscles feel when you relax them. This exercise will help you to lower your overall tension and stress levels, and help you relax when you are feeling anxious. There are many guidelines on the internet. This is an exercise you can easily do yourself.
- Yoga – based breathing
Yoga-based breathing exercises can help those of us who can't be inactive because of thoughts haunting them. Breath is the link between the mind and the body – each emotion has a distinct breathing pattern. It leads to immediate results, slowing your heart rate in minutes, as opposed to mindfulness meditation, which has to be repeted frequently.
Sudarshan kriya yoga (SKY) is a type of cyclical controlled breathing practice with roots in traditional yoga that provides relief for depression, and it is taught by the nonprofit Art of Living Foundation.
The four main SKY breathing techniques are as follows:
a) Ujjayi or "Victorious Breath": This involves experiencing the conscious sensation of the breath touching the throat. This slow breath technique (2–4 breaths per minute) increases airway resistance during inspiration and expiration and controls airflow so that each phase of the breath cycle can be prolonged to an exact count. The subjective experience is physical and mental calmness with alertness.
b) During Bhastrika or "Bellows Breath," air is rapidly inhaled and forcefully exhaled at a rate of 30 breaths per minute. It causes excitation followed by calmness.
c) "Om" is chanted three times with very prolonged expiration.
d) Sudarshan Kriya which is a Sanskrit term meaning "proper vision by purifying action" is an advanced form of rhythmic, cyclical breathing with slow, medium, and fast cycles.

Kim Yong-nam said the decision depended on how the US treated North Korea, Japan's Kyodo news agency said.
North Korea's foreign ministry said the country would consider any increase in US pressure to be an "act of war".
France's defence minister said North Korea's claimed nuclear test, on Monday, may have failed or was a fake.
Mr Kim said, in an interview with Kyodo, that "the issue of future nuclear tests is linked to US policy toward our country".
''If the United States continues to take a hostile attitude and apply pressure on us in various forms, we will have no choice but to take physical steps to deal with that.''
The comments were the first from a senior North Korean official since the country announced it had carried out a nuclear test on Monday.
Mr Kim also said North Korea would be willing to return to stalled six-party talks on its nuclear programme if existing sanctions were lifted.
"We were compelled to prove that we have nuclear weapons to prevent the increasing threat of war by the US and protect our sovereignty and survival," the statement said.
French Defence Minister Michele Alliot-Marie said in a radio interview that an "explosion of limited size" had been detected on Monday when North Korea carried out the claimed test.
"Given its weak power, it is hard to say if it was a very large, but traditional, type of explosion or else a nuclear explosion... If it was a nuclear explosion, it was a failed explosion," she said.
The comments from Pyongyang came after Australian Foreign Minister Alexander Downer said that "information from contacts" suggested further testing may be imminent.
"We have very real concerns that they may conduct another nuclear test and that they may do so very soon," he said.
Punitive measures
The UN Security Council is debating what multilateral sanctions North Korea is to face in response to the claimed nuclear test.
But Japan is to impose its own restrictions, which are due to be discussed at a meeting of the country's security council on Wednesday, Japanese media report.
Likely measures are said to include barring North Korean ships from Japanese port, a ban on trade between the two countries and tighter curbs on North Koreans wishing to visit Japan.
The UN Security Council is due on Wednesday to continue discussing a draft resolution of punitive sanctions proposed by the US.
The US proposal includes halting trade in material that could be used to make weapons of mass destruction; inspections of cargo going in and out of North Korea; a ban on imports of luxury goods and a ban on financial transactions used to support nuclear proliferation.
There is agreement in the Security Council that North Korea should face punitive measures.
The US wants the sanctions to be brought under Chapter Seven of the UN Charter, which means they would be mandatory and ultimately enforceable by military means.
But China, Russia and South Korea have expressed varying degrees of opposition to such a resolution.
BBC correspondent Laura Trevelyan, who is at the UN headquarters in New York, says diplomats hope to reach agreement by the end of the week.
The underground test reportedly took place in Gilju in Hamgyong province at 1036 (0136 GMT) on Monday morning.
Russia is the only country to have confirmed that it was a nuclear explosion.
Seoul is borrowing a sophisticated radioactivity detector from Sweden to help determine whether a nuclear test was carried out, the South Korean science and technology ministry told Yonhap news agency.

Quota Law
The Norwegian 40% Quota Law for Women on Boards

Build the Person You Want to Be
The ORANGES toolkit
Throughout our lives we face many challenges, both personal and professional. Often, we struggle to know how best to cope and wish we had greater personal resources to draw upon. This book can help!
Based on the science and principles of positive psychology, Build the Person You Want to Be provides you with the tools you need to foster greater resilience and mental wellbeing.
The ORANGES toolkit focuses on the seven key elements that support human flourishing and meaning: Optimism, Resilience, Attitude, Now (mindfulness), Gratitude, Energy and Strengths. Through an exploration of the current research, it shows that if you can increase your positive emotions, engagement, relationships, meaning and accomplishments, you enhance the capacity to handle life's challenges and reduce the impact of the things that hold you back, such as fears, anxieties and doubts. The book outlines ways to practise and build skills to re-orientate your thinking from 'What is wrong?' to 'What is right?' and, despite life's adversities, to bounce back and thrive.
Whether you want to improve your organization's work culture or wish to bolster your own inner resources, the ORANGES toolkit will help you create a more meaningful life and boost resilience, optimism and mental wellbeing.

Smoking Does Not Cause CancerJune 24th, 2012 Posted in Uncategorized
So much in life is counter intuitive, we see all of these supposed "studies" and statistics and other loads of data smog that just muddy the water and misinform us as to the real truth. I am going to drop a major truth bomb on this blog today, here goes:
Smoking Does Not Cause Cancer
Never has and never will.
Jeane Louise Calment was a French super centenarian who smoked for the first 102 years of her life. She lived to the ripe old age of 122 years and 164 days. She is the longest documented human lifespan as of this writing.
The cause of Cancer are the thought patterns and the behaviors that compel a person to smoke.
There are all kinds of reasons people smoke. Young folks take it up as a type of rebellion due to the fact they don't feel like they fit in. How do I know this? That's why I smoked, I did it across the street at Jim Taylor's house in a tree. My mom saw me and cried. I wanted her to see I was rebelling. After she cried even as a youth I saw the pathetic nature of my need to rebel against my parents and just dropped it. It wasn't worth it to me. I haven't smoked since.
Aside from youthful rebellion the reason most people smoke is simple.
They do not know how to deal with everyday stress.
I have helped so many people quit smoking, I can't even remember how many. A girlfriend I taught to quit smoking confided in me that she never realized the level of stress that was present in her life until she gave it up. Now we are talking and we get to core of the real problem. It's not the cigarette, it never is.
However, when you set the "tit" down or as I call it "the pacifier". Something amazing happens. The smoke clears and you have to deal with the stress another way.
All the cigarette was and will ever be is a smokescreen.
Isn't it obvious? The smoke clears and there you are. Just do the work and learn to love yourself and any desire to smoke will clear. It is still incredibly shocking to me that people cannot see that all smoking is a smokescreen to avoid the fact they are not loving themselves.
All "dis-eases" are in direct relation to how we deal with our beliefs and our thought patterns. I don't do any correcting of my friend's addictions anymore. I just let them be and find their own way. I am too focused on my creativity in Music. It's simple when they are ready to change; I tell them simply buy the book You can Heal Your Life
by Louise Hay. She literally wrote the book on curing "dis-ease" and there is nothing I could say or write that is more convincing than that phenomenal little book. If they do not buy they book I know that they are not ready and they will not change at this time anyway.
I have an attractive friend that has been fighting smoking and alcoholism for years. I have suggested in a kind patient way that she pick up a copy of the book. She never does and the problems mount and the stress continue. Remember you can lead a horse to water but you cannot make them drink. It is so rare to find a person with a "teachable spirit" They are like a finding the finest pearl in the world and so rare.
Speaking of Louise Hay look what the Rock Star of Learning to Love Yourself has to say about Lung Cancer:
"There is one thought pattern that is common among people who smoke and get lung cancer . The Lungs represent the ability to take in life. Lung cancer would be related to deep grief eating away at the self, or not feeling worthy of living life fully. If you smoke, does this sound familiar? Then you are most likely living with that thought pattern. I want to be very specific when saying that not all smokers have this addiction for the same reason, not all live with the same thought pattern."
Wow, now put that in your pipe and smoke it (pun intended)
It's simple, release your grief, and simply let it go. Your time is limited so don't waste it living someone else's life. When you smoke you are living for Phillip Morris and basically a slave to their bunk ass product. That's no way to live. You would be much better off smoking weed, seriously; at least there are some benefits there.
For the most part stay away from convenience stores in general except for gas and beer.
What else do they have to offer? Let's see:
Lottery Tickets- Woo Hoo, there's the path to enlightenment. All the lottery amounts to be is a poor man's tax. The lower income bracket doesn't make enough for our government to tax them so what does our great government do; Create a lottery to tax the poor souls by dangling a million dollar carrot in front of them. Think about how pathetic and sad that is. It's also well known and documented that this demographic doesn't understand money and the lottery winners who do win almost always loses it quickly due to the fact that they do not know how to handle money.
Do you think Mark Cuban buys Lottery Tickets?
2. Cigarettes
3. Junk Food in cans and boxes
4. And endless array of high fructose corn syrup containing beverages.
See what I mean…
I in no way wrote this with the intent to bash smokers. I want to be clear on that.
I just have been lucky in my life. I have no addictions, have never broken a bone, and I am never sick, ever. I had perfect attendance all through out my formal education. I was a very rebellious youth and believe me my teachers would have preferred someone else have the perfect attendance records. I have also never had a cavity. I know it is because of my thoughts. I first make my thoughts and then they make me. When I read Louise Hay's book, I knew I was reading the work of a kindred spirit. I already knew what she was saying to be true. I look forward to meeting her this fall.
If you do not feel you have the willpower to do this yourself; call my friend Ed Joseph founder of The Mind Enhancement Center. He can help you tackle this in one visit. Phone: (817) 589-7407 | e-mail email@example.com
Nothing stands in the way of a person's will
Much Love,

Fifty Years of Innovation
This year is a very special year for Armfield Ltd as it marks the 50th anniversary of its Educational Engineering Division.
Armfield was established in 1875 and made its name in Hydroelectrical installation of turbines supplied all over the globe. In 1963 Armfield Ltd began looking into ways to help Universities and Higher Education establishments improve their teaching methods by supplying modern equipment that could emulate large machinery on a small-scale. With such a strong background in fluid mechanics, the Technical Engineering Education Division (TEED) created many innovative systems for students to conduct experiments and observe the fundamentals of engineering.
Expanding Product Ranges
Over the years Armfield's equipment range has continued to expand and they now supply over 300 different apparatus for a wide range of engineering disciplines including Fluid Mechanics, Hydraulics and Hydrology, Water Treatment, Irrigation Water Management, Thermodynamics, Heat Transfer, Refrigeration and Air Conditioning, Unit Operations, Combustion Engines, Process Control Technology, Structural Engineering, Statics and Vibrations, Mechanical Engineering, Biochemical Engineering and Food Technology. Many of the world's leading universities use Armfield's systems to educate young engineers of the future and as industry leaders Armfield are continuing to develop their product range to encompass more and more academic areas.
With such an illustrious history Armfield are not a company to sit back and rest on their success and are continuing to innovate and develop new and exciting concepts to evolve engineering education. This year alone they plan to bring several new teaching systems to market and have already introduced equipment into new areas like the ST10/11 Understanding Structural Behaviour range, for teaching structural engineering. This pioneering new teaching system was developed in collaboration with Dr David Brohn, whose book Understanding Structural Analysis is supplied with the system. The system gives students a firm foundation in understanding how structures behave and can teach important skills that computer software based design programs often fail to address.
Latest Advancements
At the ASEE conference in Atlanta, Armfield will be launching another unique new teaching system Desktop Learning Modules (DLMX) produced alongside Washington State University (funded by National Science Foundation NSF) to teach fluid mechanics, thermofluids and heat transfer to the next generation of engineers. This simple, highly visual teaching system can enable students to gain an understanding in these advanced engineering topics helping to promote the STEM teaching methodology and encourage pupils to appreciate science subjects from a very young age. The DLMX system will appeal to universities, colleges and schools that wish to teach these subjects in a clear and concise way. Once again there is no other teaching equipment like this on the market and the company have high expectations for this unit, particularly with a great deal of emphasis being placed on STEM subjects across the globe.

PPI texts breached code, ASA rules
Complaints about a company based in India which sent text messages about PPI and compensation for accidents have been upheld by the Advertising Standards Authority (ASA).
One text from a claims management company, Data Supplier, said: "We have been trying to contact you regarding your PPI Claim, we now have details of how much you are due, just reply CONFIRM and we will call you back".
The second text stated: "Our records indicate you may be entitled to £3750 for the accident you had. To claim for free just reply CLAIM to this msg. To stop text STOP".
Three complainants, two of whom received the first text and one who received the second, challenged whether they were misleading and could be substantiated, because they had not recently had an accident or did not believe that they were eligible to reclaim PPI payments, and suggested that the texts breached the advertising code because they were unsolicited.
The ASA said Data Supplier, based in Mumbai, did not respond to its enquiries and it was concerned by its lack of response and apparent disregard for the code.
It said: "We reminded them of their responsibility to provide a substantive response to our enquiries and told them to do so in future.
"We noted that we had not seen any evidence to show that the recipients of the texts had given their explicit consent to be included on the Data Supplier's database.
"We also understood that none of the recipients had recently had accidents or considered themselves to be eligible to make a PPI claim, and that the texts did not identify who the message had been sent from.
"For those reasons we concluded that the texts were unsolicited and misleading, and were therefore in breach of the code."
It added: "The texts must not be sent again in their current form. We told Data Supplier not to send texts to consumers unless they had their explicit permission to do so. We also told them not to make claims in their advertising unless they could provide evidence to substantiate them, and to identify themselves as the advertiser in any future texts."

Welcome to Pax Creations!
I am Deacon Bill Scarmardo. I was ordained a Catholic Deacon in 2000 for the Diocese of Austin in the state of Texas, and I serve at the parish I grew up in, Saint Anthony of Padua Catholic Church in Bryan, Texas. I am an architect by trade. Although I earned a Bachelor of Environmental Design and a Master of Architecture degree at Texas A&M University I was always fascinated by the creativity and craftsmanship that jewelry-making provided. So, when I was studying Architecture I took some jewelry-making courses as an elective. When I graduated I took a position with an architectural firm, but I also contracted with a jewelry store to make custom Jewelry for their customers. When my son was born, the extra time I had was quickly consumed, so I decided to quit making jewelry to have more time with my family.
In the Austin Diocese, deacons don't wear clerics. So, when I was ordained, I was looking for a ministry cross to wear when I was doing ministry in the prison, hospital, and around church, so the public would know that I was a deacon. At that time there were not a lot of choices. There were a few inexpensive crosses that were stamped metal with a painted stole. But none that reflected the true richness of what the vocation and ministry portray.
So, I designed and made my cross. I had several fellow deacons ask me if I would make them a cross. At that time my children were grown, and my wife told me that I should get back into jewelry making again. So, I created four crosses that artistically reflected the ministry and I called them the St. Stephen's Collection. I then bought an ad in Deacon Digest and Pax Creations was born.
In nearly two decades of making and creating pieces for the diaconate community, Pax Creations has grown to having over a 100 deacon related pieces of jewelry. I have been commissioned to create custom pieces from pectoral crosses for bishops and Cardinals to custom rings and crosses for priest and deacons; countless religious pieces for deacon's wives, engaged couples, First Communion and Confirmation, and pocket crosses and rosary items. Two of the many honors I have had serving fellow religious was a pectoral Cross for Cardinal Dolan {You can click on his picture on the left and see the detail and read his very gracious thank you card) and another Cross for Cardinal O Malley.
Every piece I sell is handmade to order. I consider Pax Creations a ministry and I use my Architecture practice to subsidize it so, I can provide quality handmade pieces at a reasonable price for my fellow deacons.
It would be a great honor to create a piece for you, whether you are a Deacon, a Deacon's wife, or someone looking for a special gift with distinctly Catholic meaning for First Communion or Confirmation. I'm also glad to make you something special as a Priest or anybody in love with Our Lord, from wedding rings to pendants, earrings, charms, cufflinks and tie tacs, and pocket crosses that share your Christian joy in a meaningful and beautiful way.
Please browse all of our offerings in the categories to the left or visit the online shop, where we have been doing business on the Internet securely for more than a decade. Your satisfaction is 100% guaranteed and we sell and ship to just about anywhere. And please look over our comments and reviews, so you don't have to take just my word for it!
And please contact me with any questions. I am truly happy to serve The Lord by serving you!
May the Lord continue to bless you, and may you always be aware of the abundance of His blessings in your life,
Deacon Bill

Know Before You Snow: ESG Key Issue of the Week
Posted on January 13th, 2017 by OWLinsightseducation ESG
We're thrilled to see how much snow is dumping on the mountains of California lately. Not just for its drought-easing implications — keep it comin'! — but because we love to get out and play in the stuff. And since ESG is always on our minds, of course our thoughts went straight to the reporting standards for ski resorts.
SASB classifies snowsport resorts under Leisure Facilities, a category which also includes amusement parks, sport venues, theaters, and other destinations designed for relaxation and entertainment. Snowsport includes skiing, snowboarding, and other similar pursuits carried out in a similar way; I'm going to use the blanket terms "skiing" and "skier" going forward here to mean all the above — but we still love you, snowboarders!
The SASB provisional standard for these facilities recommends one Environment metric in Energy Management — simply put, how much energy is consumed and where it comes from, a materiality that needs no explanation — and our focus today, three Social metrics in Customer & Worker Safety.
The latter is a timely topic, given the recent tragic death of a skier at Colorado's Granby Ranch, attributed by investigators to ski lift mechanical failure. According to the National Ski Areas Association (NSAA), this is the first U.S. death of its kind since 1993, and though lift-caused injuries are more common (and injuries caused by the lift rider themself more common still), they're rare.
That's not to say that injuries from the act of skiing itself are rare. The NSAA's statistics suggest it's still an incredibly safe pursuit. According to their 2016 reports, "In short, a passenger is five times more likely to suffer a fatality riding an elevator than a ski lift, and more than eight times more likely to suffer a fatality riding in a car than on a ski lift," and "Skiing and snowboarding enjoy an excellent safety record, and are less dangerous than other high-energy participation sports—less so than some common activities, in fact." But according to others, the NSAA's figures may wildly underreport the reality of snow sport injuries. According to the SnowSport Safety Foundation (SSF) — a nonprofit whose goal is to improve safety across the snowsport industry — NSAA reported a national "annual average of 40 catastrophic and 50 fatal injuries per year." But, "Analysis of statewide California hospital payment information (EpiCenter Injury Data) documents a five year annual average of over 11500 emergency department and 630 hospital admissions in California due to snowsport injuries."
That's quite a discrepancy.
Skiing is traditionally undertaken at the risk of the consumer, who by buying a lift ticket essentially signs a waiver that absolves the resort of responsibility. The resort is assumed to be responsible for maintaining safe facilities — safety disclosures for which are part of the SASB standards — but once on the slope, a skier is assumed to take responsibility for their safety.
This presents a conundrum. On the one hand, ski resorts may have an interest in downplaying the risk of the sport to prevent dinging ticket sales; on the other, it's not inconceivable that hiding the actual casualty figures leads skiers and snowboarders to feel more confident in taking chances, which in turn may increase the number of actual injuries.
The online legal resource Nolo explains, "Because there are inherent risks in participating in these sports, the defendant (such as the ski resort owner or operator or even another skier or snowboarder who ran into you) may raise the 'assumption of risk' defense. By raising this defense, the defendant is arguing that you are not entitled to compensation because you chose to take part in an activity that was likely to cause you harm."
That doesn't stop injured skiers from trying to sue the resort or even other skiers and/or their responsible parties.
But unless public perception of the situation changes, such defensive legal fees will probably remain immaterial, particularly compared to issues arising from instances where the resort itself is clearly and directly responsible for safety conditions (e.g., a poorly maintained lift tower). Therefore on-slope customer injury has little bearing in this disclosure … for now.
Meanwhile, it still lies to the resorts to take utmost care of the conditions they can control.
The SASB industry brief lists a number of agencies whose oversight covers various aspects of running leisure facilities, mostly related to services complementary to the resort's primary draw, then concludes that "industry safety practices are self-regulated, which leads to inconsistent safety procedures and performance. In turn, that can lead to legal liabilities for negligence." On the topic of accident exposure, the brief continues: "Failure to implement and effectively manage a culture of safety can lead to consumer and employee injuries that generate reputational risks that materially harm industry participants."
The brief cites instances where large amusement parks lost significant revenue due to reduced attendance or legal fees, and a major suit against Vail Resorts for an employee-involved collision. In the recent Colorado case, the resort closed the lift for about ten days while under inspection; though it offered a 40% discount on lift tickets during that time, response to their social media showed that the lift closure prompted some would-be skiers to stay away.
SASB recommends leisure facilities report on three metrics: customer fatality rate and injury rate; employee total recordable injury rate and near-miss frequency rate; and percentage of facilities inspected for safety/percentage failed. There's clear value in measuring the second and third category: the facilities and employees are the direct responsibility of the resort. It's important to perform proper maintenance and successful equipment testing to forestall trouble that could lead to reputational risk, and important to document it to reduce legal risk. It's just as important to keep employees safe.
But what about those visitors who willingly assume the risk of the sport? Why document and disclose figures about casualties that, presumably, are out of the resort's control? Ignoring this metric may be the result of a dangerous assumption based on current laws and public sentiment. Just because ski resorts are not currently held responsible for the majority of on-slope incidents does not mean that such will always be the case.
If SSF's founder Dan Gregorie has his way, ski resorts will begin to disclose this information even outside of sustainability reports, as a simple matter of public safety. He and others claim that individual ski resorts and the NSAA have closed ranks in their refusal to make public their safety information.
According to a Summit Daily article, "Gregorie's bigger gripe is that no numbers are made public for the injuries, nor evidence of each resort's particular safety management plan. If no proof is ever given of such a strategy, consumers are simply left to believe they exist and are being followed." In other words, by resorts' very silence, skiers are led to believe the sport is safer than it is, and have no basis for comparing relative safety among resorts.
If this is so, then lack of disclosure itself may qualify as a "failure to implement and effectively manage a culture of safety," and become a long-term liability.
Gregorie hopes "there's a local legislator in Colorado who would love to make a reputation with the public that they're looking out for public safety. And at some point, one of these resorts is going to break rank, and they'll see safety as a potential competitive advantage. A good executive who's thinking will go that direction, because we aren't going away."
Know Before You Snow is part of our series, ESG Key Issue of the Week. Tune in weekly for new installments.
You've heard a lot of buzz about how ESG can help make good investments, but many investors still misunderstand the how and the why.
Environmental, social, and governance data has material value. Simply put, ESG helps reveal how well a particular company is run, how it relates to its stakeholder base, how it manages its risks for the long term, and so on.
The key issues, as outlined by the standards boards, include some obvious ones — for instance, energy management clearly tracks quantifiable costs — and some that at first glance may not seem to promise immediate benefit to the company's bottom line.
Find out why each of those ESG issues has been recommended for a particular industry based on materiality. Every week we'll translate another one into plain language. Stay tuned!

I can do all things through Christ which strengthens me. Philippians 4:13
Domestic Violence occurs when a family member, partner or
ex-partner attempts to physically or psychologically dominate
another. Domestic violence often refers to violence between
spouses, or spousal abuse but can also include cohabitants and
non-married intimate partners. Domestic violence occurs in all
cultures; people of all races, ethnicities, religions, sexes and
classes can be victims and perpetrators of domestic violence.
Domestic violence has many forms, including physical violence,
spiritual abuse, sexual abuse, emotional abuse, verbal abuse, economic deprivation,
intimidation and threats of violence.
1. He speaks disrespectfully about his former partner: "She used me." "She was a
b***h." "She got a restraining order just to get back at me."
2. He is disrespectful towards you: He makes mean-spirited comments about your
appearance, intelligence, or body (sometimes in front of others). He minimizes
your work inside/outside the home. He doesn't value your opinions, knowledge, or
experience. He puts you on a pedestal-adores you, treats you like a sex object.
3. He does favors for you that you don't want or puts on such a show of generosity
that it makes you uncomfortable: He buys expensive gifts he can't afford. He fixes
your car even after you tell him not to. There's pressure, subtle or explicit, to
4. He is controlling: He wants things done a certain way."You know I hate it when
you cook that meat like that-why don't you do it the way I like it" He has rules
you have to follow. Things have to be "just" so.
5. He is possessive: He wants to know who you're with and what you're doing all the
time. He criticizes friends and family, makes you feel guilty for spending time with
them, or prevents or sabotages your contact with them.
6. Nothing is ever his fault: "That jerk at work complained about me and got me
fired." "You push my buttons until I lose control." "My probation officer is out to
get me-I've already done everything the judge said."
7. He abuses drugs or alcohol: "I didn't mean to hurt you, I was so drunk." He
promises to stop using or he pressures and/or forces you to drink/drug too.
8. He pressures you for sex: He views sex as his right. "You've always got some
excuse." "Come on, I thought you wanted us to be closer." "No wonder the last
guy cheated on you." "You're frigid!!!"
9. He gets too serious about the relationship too quickly: He tells you he loves you
when you're just getting to know each other. He says, "I've never felt like this
about anyone before" or "I'm able to talk and open up to you like no other." Or a
little later on, "If you really loved me you would be as ready as I am to get married."
10. He intimidates you when he's angry: He slams his fist down. He hovers over you
or corners you. He breaks things and lashes out.
11. He has double standards: He needs to know where you are at all times but doesn't
tell you when he's coming home late. He watches out for you for you "protection."
When he helps around the house he expects lavish praise, while your
housework is expected, no work at all, or not noticed.
12. He has negative attitudes towards women: He uses degrading language. He doesn't
respect female superiors at work or in his professional field. He describes
independent women as "b***hes" or "dykes" or is more subtly negative about
them or their power. He makes inappropriately sexual or objectifying comments
about women.
13. He treats you differently around other people: In public he may come across as
attentive and affectionate, kind and charming. Others may compliment him. This
may add to the feeling that you've done something wrong or that you're all alone
and no one will believe you.
14. He appears to be attracted to vulnerability: You are much younger than him. He
sought you out right after a painful breakup or knows you've been abused in the
past. He promises to take care of you or help you overcome problems.
15. He retaliates or escalates when you complain about his abusive behavior: When
you tell him something is hurtful or bothers you he does it more, especially during
conflicts. He is infuriated when you call attention to his negative behavior and/or
skillful at turning the blame on you.
16. He gives apologies that sound insincere or angry but demands that you accept
them: "What the h*** do you want-I said I was sorry." "I'm sorry YOU feel I…"
17. He undermines your personal goals and progress in life: He instigates a big fight
right before an important presentation, exam, or job interview. He doesn't want
you to take that promotion that will mean more time at work or to go back to
18. He denies what he did: "I hardly touched you." "You're so dramatic-it was
nothing." "I didn't even leave a mark." "I never said that-you're crazy."
19. He justifies hurtful or frightening acts by saying you made him do it: "Why do you
provoke me like that?" "You made me so jealous with that guy that I lost control."
"You know exactly how to push my buttons."
20. He gets physical when he's angry or makes you fearful in other ways: He corners
you, slams doors, breaks things, threatens you, pushes, slaps, or hits you.

text: Today I returned home to find a package addressed to me sitting on the credenza! I love snail mail. It's exciting! The parcel was from one of my best friends in America. We met at arts camp in the states last summer, where sampling various candy bars and mass-market confections became an everyday event. From white chocolate reese's cups (surprisingly tasty) to mystery skittles (avoiding the puke-worthy punch flavor is crucial), we hit them all. Swedish fish were a favorite, although nothing could ever outdo dark chocolate, much less junior mints. At any rate, we can't get these crimson delicacies here in Tokyo. American candy plus a parcel from a pal, what a lovely surprise!

The native of Calgary, Canada averaged 21.5 points, 12.0 rebounds and 8.0 blocks in two home victories for the Sun Devils, which improved to 18-6 and 7-4 Pac-12. ASU is tied with Colorado for third place in the conference. For the week, Bachynski shot 15-of-20 (.750) from the field and 13-of-16 (.813) from the free-throw line. His 16 total blocks during the two-game span made him the Pac-12 career record holder with 288 blocks. Bachynski began the week with 17 points, 15 rebounds and seven blocks to lead Arizona State to an 86-82 overtime win over Oregon State last Thursday. It was his 11th double double this season. Two days later, he posted a career-high 26 points in the 74-72 win over Oregon, adding nine rebounds and nine blocks. Bachynski sealed the win when he blocked Joseph Young's potentially game-tying reverse layup as time expired. It's the second time this season Bachynski had a block at the buzzer. On Nov. 25, he swatted away a short jumper from Marquette's Derrick Wilson to preserve a 79-77 win. Bachynski leads the Pac-12 in blocked shots, averaging 4.5 per game, and is second in the Pac-12 in rebounding with 9.1 boards per game. He's the leading candidate to win the conference's defensive player of the year and will garner all-league consideration.

We seek to teach the Word of God and spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ in the power of the Holy Spirit, shaping and equipping our church family so that believers will be nourished and empowered to fulfill their God-ordained, created purpose and ministry. We seek to prepare people who care for one another, and who sensitively reach out to our City and our World that all may be saved, being brought to a living faith in Christ as Savior and Lord.
1. We are a worshiping church. This is a transcendent priority-we will never sacrifice worship on the altar of conventionality or convenience. We will be unhesitatingly joyful, refreshing, and unashamed in our worship. Yet, we'll also be tender and healing in our expressions. In being worshipers, we have nothing to prove, and yet everything to give to God who has given us so much.
2. We are a community church. We believe that the Bible encourages us to come together in an intimate small group setting in order to share and encourage one another in love and to grow through transparent, authentic, loving and accountable relationship and we do this through oikos ministry.
3. We are a church that evangelizes. This is not an option for us as true followers of Christ. Jesus said, "Go and train everyone you meet, far and near, in this way of life…"(Matthew 28:19 MSG). This is our assignment and our greatest joy. With a sense of Father's urgency, and with every ounce of the Spirit's energy and strength working in us, we will search for and rescue the lost.
4. We are a praying church. We will pray as if no one else was praying. In prayer we invade the impossible, bring Heaven's power to Earth, and violently wrench from the enemy's grasp what belongs to God and His people.
5. We are a serving church. We believe God has gifted and prepared His people for the works of service and as members of His body we are joined and held together to grow and build itself up in love, as each part does its work.
6. We are a church that believes in the importance and imperativeness of family. We must bring the Gospel, first, to our home. It is in our family where our children will learn and experience love through godly examples.
7. We are a church that believes in biblical leadership. The Bible is clear how we should select and appoint our leaders. It speaks unequivocally about what qualifications they should have before they can exercise their authority and leadership. Therefore, we are committed to hold our leaders to those standards. They should be above reproach.

Today is a landmark day here in the Bremo Bluff office of writer Andi Cumbo. In the next couple of hours, she will draft the final chapter of her book You Will Not Be Forgotten . . .
Okay, so there's no reporter here covering this day for me. ABC News isn't doing a live blog about my progress. Nope, all the news coverage is rightfully where it should be. At this moment, the Supreme Court is poised to announce their decision on Obamacare, and as a self-employed person, I am hoping and praying that they do not overturn it. I'm hoping that for me and for the millions of others who cannot afford or cannot qualify for healthcare because of pre-existing conditions. I am hopeful.
But I cannot change that outcome. What I can do is be faithful to what is set before – this last chapter; wow, it takes my breath just to say that.
I have so much work left to do on this book. Hours and hours of revision. More research. A great deal of cutting. Reams of adding.
Today, though, today, I will finish one step of this process – the first draft of my first book. Holy cow, it feels good to say that.
So it's a landmark day here in this office in Central Virginia, a truly landmark day.
Tomorrow, I leave for a week's vacation to New England with my friend K. We're camping most days and then taking a couple of luxury days at a spa outside of Burlington. We'll eat our weight in cheese and maple syrup and just enjoy the ride. A fitting way to celebrate this achievement to be sure.
Now, off to the page.
Where are you in your writing projects? When will your next landmark day be? How will you celebrate?
