Shari Ellin Redstone (born April 14, 1954) is an American media executive with a background in numerous aspects of the entertainment industry and related ventures. She currently serves as the president of National Amusements as well as vice-chairwoman of CBS Corporation and Viacom. Through National Amusements, Shari Redstone and her family are majority owners of CBS Corporation, Viacom, MTV Networks, BET, and the film studio Paramount Pictures.
Redstone is the daughter of Sumner Redstone and Phyllis Gloria Raphael and sister of Brent Redstone. Her grandfather was Michael Redstone who was the original founder of National Amusements, the parent company that now owns the majority of the Redstone media empire. She holds a Bachelor of Science from Tufts University, graduating in 1975. She received her law degrees at Boston University School of Law in 1978 (J.D.) and in 1980 (LLM). She practiced corporate law, estate planning and criminal law in the Boston area before joining National Amusements.
Since 1999, she has been President of National Amusements, one of the top 10 movie exhibitors in the United States. Ms. Redstone has expanded the company's international footprint and its exploration of new technologies.
In 2000, while at National Amusements, Redstone entered the Russian theater market, giving patrons there the opportunity to experience high-end luxury theaters. In 2010, Redstone and her partners purchased the theaters that they had built and formed Rising Star Media, of which she was chairman, and turned it into the top grossing cinema chain in that country. Redstone and her partners sold Rising Star Media in 2011.
In 2007, Redstone and her father feuded publicly over issues of corporate governance and the future of the cinema chain. Documents have been made public which verify that, as part of a settlement from Sumner's first divorce, all of Sumner's stock is in irrevocable trusts that will be left to his grandchildren. The trusts are said to make it clear that Shari Redstone, vice-chairwoman of the Board of Viacom and CBS, is to assume her father's role upon his death.
In 2011, Redstone became co-founder and managing partner of Advancit Capital, LLC, an investment platform focusing on early stage in media, entertainment and technology. In addition, she is Co-Chairman of MovieTickets.com, Inc. and is a member of the Board of Directors and Executive Committee for the National Theatre Owners Association (NATO).
On February 3, 2016, her father resigned as CBS executive chairman after questions arose about his mental competency. CBS's board then offered Shari Redstone the position of non-executive chair but she declined. The CBS board announced that Les Moonves replaced Sumner Redstone as CBS Chairman. In 2016, Redstone, who at the time was vice chair of CBS and Viacom and president of National Amusements (the controlling shareholder of CBS and Viacom), gave the following statement on succession: "my father's Trust states his intention that I succeed him as (non-executive) Chair at CBS and Viacom, and also names me as a Trustee after his death." She stated that she wanted the chairs of each company to be "not a Trustee of my father's trust or otherwise intertwined in Redstone family matters," and she nominated Les as the CBS chair.
On February 4, 2016, against Shari Redstone's desires, Viacom's board of directors named Philippe Dauman, already the CEO and President, the Chairman, replacing Sumner Redstone.
On January 17, 2018, the Wall Street Journal reported that Shari Redstone was pushing for CBS Corp. to merge with Viacom, with Redstone also gathering names for new board members at CBS.
Redstone married Rabbi Ira A. Korff, and had three children but later divorced. Her ex-husband was president and director of National Amusements until two years after they divorced.
Shari Redstone is currently (as of January 2018) a member of the Board of Directors at Combined Jewish Philanthropies and the Board of Trustees at Dana Farber Cancer Institute. She is also on the Board of Directors of The National Center on Addiction and Substance Abuse (CASA) at Columbia University and the John F. Kennedy Library Foundation. Ms. Redstone recently joined the Board and Executive Committee of "Our Time", a mass-membership organization that stands for the economic interests and political inclusion of young Americans aged 18–30. She sits on the Local Advisory Board and Executive Committee for BUILD, a non-profit organization which uses entrepreneurship to propel low income youth through high school and into college.

Most people around us are getting health conscious these days and this is the reason why the juice shops and juice press businesses are flourishing. However, before you want to start a juice business, you will need to know a certain important factors and figure out certain things before you can go in for juice making as a fully fledged business.
You should know the commercial laws of your city and state with regards to the raw juice. These laws vary and incase these juices are to be sold wholesale, then the process of heat or pasteurization or HPP need to be clear in your mind. Else the juice can be made in one location and these can be sold in various outlets or stores.
The equipment for extracting juice is of utmost importance. You need a commercial juicer and blenders and even some may start with just a food processor. These can be used for various kinds of juices, milks and smoothies. However, you need to be careful because some juicers are meant for the domestic market and for personal use and these cannot be used for longer period of time as there are increase chances of it overheating and burning. Also, if there are small machines used, then more people will be needed to extract the juice and this will not only result in more manpower but also in more electricity being used and juice extracted may not be very efficiently done. That is the reason why investing in a commercial juice press is the best.
Another important thing that you need to consider is the type of bottles you will use to dispense the juice. Glass bottles are environment friendly but the cost upfront is considerably high and these are also easily breakable. They also require a lot of cleaning and processing done before these can be used. Glass bottles are also heavy and this is what adds to the weight. Plastic bottles are cheaper, virtually unbreakable but these are not environment friendly.
Once the bottle type has been selected, the label printing will need to be done so that the juice can be identified. The labels are based on the laws of the state, as they need to have certain mandatory information printed on them.
The last thing is the pricing that needs to be fixed based on the cost, the desired profit and the volume which will be sold.
The most important point in all this is choosing of the commercial juicer. When choosing a commercial juice extractor, you need to select the one that is powerful and sturdy and can extract large quantities of juice at a time. These should be easy to operate and to maintain and clean. The assembly and disassembly should not take too much of time and the parts should be dishwasher safe.
When you select commercial juicers you need to consider factors like of the amount of space they occupy, the price of the juicer and also the warranty period and the kind of vegetables and fruits that can be juiced in this. Some are meant specifically for only some types of vegetables and fruits while others are versatile. There are juicers which offer a lot of stability and have pulp free options and these juicers apply large amount of pressure without the user even having to apply manual force. The juicers that are silent and have noise as well as vibration levels reduced by different means are preferable as these are usually working for hours on end.
Another factor to consider in a commercial juicer is the effectiveness of extraction of juice. If it is efficient, there will not be much wastage.


It's 9 a.m. at Paddy Flaherty's pub in Sarnia. Bar stools sit upside-down on countertops and tables. The floors are swept clean for the new work day. Although the lights are still low and only a few workers have arrived to start their shifts, the traditional Irish pub is friendly and inviting.
Ashton Robinson likes the warm and welcoming environment, and he's felt comfortable there ever since he was hired. Ashton has a developmental disability, and after graduating from high school two years ago, he wanted to find a job. With a little bit of help, he succeeded.
Robinson applied for Employment Supports from the Ontario Disability Support Program (ODSP) and chose Community Living Sarnia-Lambton to help him find the right place to work. Through Employment Supports, Community Living helped prepare Robinson for a one-week voluntary work assignment at Paddy Flaherty's. His experience there was so successful that he has been there ever since.
The pub seemed like a good fit. Scott Dargie, the owner, had hired people with disabilities in the past. He says using Community Living's services makes a lot of sense. "They have job coaches who make sure that [new employees] are going to fit in with the job," Dargie explains. "There's no outward expense for me, and it provides an opportunity for somebody that may not have been there."
Ashton took the opportunity seriously and is a dependable member of Dargie's staff. Hired as a dishwasher, Ashton is now learning food preparation skills. He develops new skills every day and has discovered how his abilities can lead him to a promising career. "I love my job," says Robinson, adding that he'd like to become a chef someday. "It would be awesome. My brother lives in Yellowknife, training to be a chef."
Andrea Hands works at Community Living Sarnia-Lambton and helps clients make a smooth transition to their work placement. She got to know Ashton well and knew she had found the best place for him to succeed. "We were really confident that he was able to do the job and was a, reliable, dependable and motivated individual," says Hands. "And that's what employers are looking for, whether [the candidates] have a disability or not."
As Ashton continues to develop his skills, Community Living will be there for him. "If Ashton becomes a cook apprentice, we're able to come back in and provide support," says Hands. She says the new changes to the ODSP not only helped Ashton find a job and keep it, but also provides him with ongoing job coaching.
Ashton is on his way to realizing his dream of becoming a chef. With the opportunity available to him from an accessible employer like Scott Dargie and important support agencies like Community Living, nothing can stop him from achieving his goals.

Traditionally, medical interventions such as the use of analgesics are often sought to reduce pain and anxiety during treatments. However, this is expensive and the use of medication pain-control can have unpleasant physical side effects. To use them you also have to be comfortable dealing with needles, or other fear creating additions which may make the anxiety worse. Non-invasive treatments, like the experiences offered by VR Dental Sedation, offer a pleasant alternative. They use virtual worlds to distract the patient's attention from the dentist and the treatment. Over 50 published clinical trials of Virtual Reality show that this approach is massively effective. As a consequence, the use of virtual reality (VR) technology in dental care is on the rise.
Virtual Reality can help you cope with the perception of pain and unpleasantness during your dental appointment by combining pleasant imagery and stimuli. You're left with positive memories of the appointment, erasing the perceptions that are often worse than the reality. Be scared of the dentist no more and talk to your Dentist today about VR Dental Sedation!

Thunderbird Benefitcomingto town
By Chuck Stark, Sun Sports Editor — May 13th, 2005
Rodeo, like most sports, has its share of weekend warriors.
Not everybody's driving big rigs and chasing big dollars on the Professional Cowboys Rodeo Association circuit, like the cowboys who visit Thunderbird Stadium for the annual Kitsap Stampede in August.
Local rodeo fans will have an opportunity to cheer local cowboys this summer with the inaugural Thunderbird Rodeo Benefit, a Northwest Pro Rodeo Association-sanctioned event scheduled for June 24-25 at the Kitsap County Fairgrounds facility.
"It's kind of an alternative to the PRCA," said Silverdale's Colen Corey, who is co-producing the rodeo with Don Frazier. "It's for cowboys (and cowgirls) who want to compete in a regular professional association, but stay closer to home. Almost all of these guys have regular jobs, families and responsibilities. But it doesn't mean they're not as good.
"Everybody I've talked to in the industry is excited about it. We've got a lot of good cowboys and good stock. It'll be a real quality rodeo. It's different than the one (Stampede) held during the fair. It'll have a lot more of a local flavor. There's going to be a lot of cowboys from a 100-mile radius."
Corey and Frazier, both rodeo announcers, will fill that role during the two-day event, which will benefit the annual Corey Day on the Farm for special needs children and the Kitsap County Boys and Girls Club.
Corey's older brother, Clint, a Pro Rodeo Hall of Fame bareback rider, got his start on the regional circuit. Colen, 45, was one of the region's best bareback riders, competing until 1988. His other brother, Scott, won a regional bareback title in 1982.
"When we started off, we thought it would just be a little punk 'n roller, but we soon figured out this would be an opportunity to do some good for the community," said Frazier of the rodeo. "There's never been an NPRA rodeo in Kitsap County, and it's starting off as one of the biggest in the state. It's a real feather in our hat."
While the PRCA Stampede draws more than 400 entrants and pays out more than $100,000 in prize money, the NPRA is expected to lure about 200 cowboys and pay out $10,000.
"It's a ton of work, but we've had some great support from the community," said Colen Corey. "People have really been generous."

Cinebench is a widely known benchmarking tool for measuring performance relative to MAXON's animation software Cinema 4D. Cinebench has been optimized over a decade and focuses on purely CPU horsepower, meaning if there is a discrepancy in pure throughput characteristics, Cinebench is likely to show that discrepancy. Arguably other software doesn't make use of all the tools available, so the real world relevance might purely be academic, but given our large database of data for Cinebench it seems difficult to ignore a small five minute test. We run the modern version 15 in this test, as well as the older 11.5 and 10 due to our back data.
The 1950X: the first CPU to score higher on the 2nd pass of this test than it does on the first pass.

So normally I'm not super into games featuring dwarves. Nothing wrong with dwarves or the game settings that feature them but they just don't tickle my jimmies. However, my opinions are changing thanks to Whale Rock Games upcoming title We Are the Dwarves! Set in the Eternal Stone universe where stone replaces outer space and hallows in the stone replace planets, you control one to three dwarven drillonauts, each with a unique skill set such as trap setting and stealth.
Enemies will "see, hear, and smell" the players, have the ability to communicate with each other, and by the the looks of it, interact with other creatures in the universe. Whale Rock Games have given players the choice of if and how they would like to dispose of enemy's, a la Deus Ex, with either stealth or slasher tactics.
The combat will have an active pause that allows the creation of complex tactics which sounds similar to the Knights of the Old Republic series. The environment also presents it's own dangers to not only the enemies but the player, such as acid pools, toxic clouds, unsteady gravity, and destructive sound waves.

The 10 Best Movies about The Internet or Social Media
Posted on December 25, 2015 December 25, 2015 by Ryan Anderson
Where would the world be without the Internet or social media? From feature films to documentaries and short films, the film industry is exploring the positives and negatives about the modern world and how we all communicate with each other.
There are some obvious choices here, from "The Social Network" to some more obscure ones. However, they all explore the connection to our world and the Internet and social media.
1. The Social Network (2010)
You knew this one was coming. "The Social Network", based on Ben Mezrich's 2009 book "The Accidental Billionaires: The Founding of Facebook, A Tale of Sex, Money, Genius, and Betrayal", portrays the founding of social networking website Facebook and the resulting lawsuits.
The film stars Jesse Eisenberg as founder Mark Zuckerberg, along with Andrew Garfield as Eduardo Saverin and Justin Timberlake as Sean Parker. Although it may not exactly be a 100 percent accurate depiction of Facebook's founding, but it does perfectly use Zuckerberg's life as a metaphor about communication and alienation in the modern age.
Even if fictionalized slightly, "The Social Network" has a great screenplay by Aaron Sorkin, flawless direction by David Fincher, and a hypnotic score by Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross.
"The Social Network" was nominated for eight Academy Awards including Best Picture, Best Director for Fincher, and Best Actor for Eisenberg, and won three for Best Adapted Screenplay, Best Original Score and Best Film Editing. The film appeared on 70 critics top 10 lists of the best films of 2010. Since its release, "The Social Network" has been cited as involvement in start-ups and social media. It is one of the most forward-thinking modern pictures of our generation.
2. We Live in Public (2009)
This documentary from 2009 by Ondi Timoner profiles the life of Internet pioneer Josh Harris, who founded JupiterResearch and Pseudo.com, a live audio and video webcasting website founded in 1993, which filed for bankruptcy following the end of the dot-com bubble in 2000. Its theme is the loss of privacy in the Internet age.
"We Live in Public" was screened six times at the Sundance Film Festival. It was awarded the Grand Jury Prize award in the US documentary category at the festival.
Timoner is the first director in the history of the Sundance Film Festival to win the Grand Jury award twice. Her first win was in 2004 for the widely acclaimed documentary, "DIG!" The title comes from a public art project "Quiet: We Live in Public", where 100 artists were placed in a human terrarium under New York City, with myriad webcams following and capturing every move the artists made.
With how much social media and the Internet has taken over our lives, life feels this way sometimes. That feeling that you were not really there unless you posted something about it, how everyone is watching your actions and how life can be so different in and out of the internet world.
3. Catfish (2010)
"Catfish" begins in late 2007 as filmmakers Ariel Schulman and Henry Joost felt a story in progress while filming the life of Ariel's brother, Nev. The filmmakers did not know that the months of filming would be some of the toughest and most uncomfortable in their lives. Nev had a romantic relationship with a young woman on Facebook.
The film was a critical and commercial success. It premiered at the Sundance Film Festival in early 2010. It led to an MTV reality TV series, "Catfish: The TV Show", which premiered in 2012, and is currently in its fourth season. Nev, the protagonist of the film, took over the role of the investigator in the "catfish" relationships.
The film received positive reviews; it holds an 80% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, with the site's consensus being "Catfish may tread the line between real-life drama and crass exploitation a little too unsteadily for some viewers' tastes, but it's timely premise and tightly wound mystery make for a gripping documentary". The term "catfish" is now a part of the lexicon of cultures.
4. Disconnect (2012)
Directed by Henry Alex Rubin and starring an ensemble cast that includes Jason Bateman, Hope Davis, Frank Grillo, Andrea Riseborough, Paula Patton, Michael Nyqvist, Alexander Skarsgård, and Max Thieriot, "Disconnect" explores how people experience the negative sides of modern technology and communication by following three connected stories.
A lawyer attached to his cell phone, but who can't find the time to communicate with his family; a couple who has their secrets exposed online; an ex-cop raising a mischievous son who cyber-bullies a classmate; and an ambitious journalist working on a career-making story regarding a teen that performs on an adult-only site.
"Disconnect" opened in limited release on April 12, 2013 in 15 theaters and grossed $124,000 with an average of $8,267 per theater, ranking #31 at the box office. The film's widest release domestically was 180 theaters and it ended up earning $1,436,900 in the United States and $1,991,148 internationally, for a total of $3,428,048.
"Disconnect" received positive reviews when it premiered at the Toronto Film Festival and the critical consensus said it is a timely, effective exploration of modern society's technological overload.
5. The Matrix (1999)
This modern classic directed by the Wachowskis, starring Keanu Reeves, Laurence Fishburne, Carrie-Anne Moss, Hugo Weaving, and Joe Pantoliano, depicts a dystopian future where reality is perceived by most to be a virtual reality universe called "the Matrix". Computer hacker Neo learns the truth about the machines, which are subduing the human population, and is drawn into a rebellion against the machines, which involves other people who have been freed from the "dream world".
The film changed special effects in film, introducing the concept of "bullet time"; the bullet time sequences being what everyone thinks about in that movie.
"The Matrix" grossed more than $460 million and won four Academy Awards in technical categories. In 2012, the film was added to the National Film Registry. "The Matrix" spawned two successful sequels and the franchise was further expanded into the production of comic books, video games, and animated short films in which the Wachowskis were heavily involved.
"The Matrix" made audiences contemplate if this was where we headed, a bending of reality and virtual reality, the skill and prowess of humans and robots. The film introduced audiences to a world where the future of Earth could be a utopia or the worst place to live.

Karen Koslowitz was named Thursday to lead the Queens City Council delegation in place of the outgoing Mark Weprin, who will officially resign his City Council seat next week.
Koslowitz is in her second stint as City Council member representing the 29th District, which covers all or parts of Forest Hills, Rego Park, Middle Village, Kew Gardens and Richmond Hill. Several of her colleagues, including Paul Vallone and Jimmy Van Bramer, took to Twitter to announce her election.
"I will do my utmost to maximize the effectiveness of my fellow Queens legislators in advocating for the interests of Queens," Koslowitz said in a statement. "I am both humbled and gratified by the confidence that they have placed in me today."
Weprin had led the Queens City Council delegation since 2014, but last month announced he would step down from the City Council to become Gov. Andrew Cuomo's deputy secretary of legislative affairs.

Weprin tweeted on Thursday morning that next week would be his last in the City Council, and that he officially starts with the Cuomo administration on June 15. When he first announced his resignation on May 11, Weprin indicated that he would be out "within the next two weeks."
Once Weprin's resignation takes effect, Mayor Bill de Blasio will call a special, non-partisan election to occur within the following 60 days. Each candidate must secure their own ballot line; political parties cannot officially nominate a candidate, but may make an endorsement.
The winner of the special election will be sworn into office immediately upon certification of the results, but must run again in the November election for the right to fill out the remainder of Weprin's term, which ends in 2017.
The 23rd District seat covers parts of Bayside Hills, Bellerose, Douglaston, Floral Park, Fresh Meadows, Glen Oaks, Hollis, Little Neck, New Hyde Park, Oakland Gardens and Queens Village. After Weprin resigns, it will remain vacant until a successor is elected. During that period, staff members will handle constituent services under the auspices of the City Council speaker.

The 10th annual Murray Brothers Caddyshack Charity Golf Tournament will make its second date change since 2007.
There's also a new charity, the Florida School for the Deaf and the Blind in St. Augustine.
But it will be the usual cast of characters involved, led by actor Bill Murray and his five brothers. The tournament will be played March 26 at the World Golf Hall of Fame King & Bear and Slammer & Squire courses.
The Caddyshack Tournament had been played in May for the first six years of its existence. When The Players Championship was moved to May, the Caddyshack Tournament went to late April.
Partly because that date conflicted with Bill Murray's member-guest tournament at his home course in California, and to take advantage of cooler weather, tournament officials decided to make the change to late March.
In addition to Murray, celebrities who have committed at this point include Maurice Jones-Drew of the Jaguars, NASCAR drivers Michael Waltrip and Kyle Petty, and American Idol finalist Chris Richardson.
There also is a format change this year. The Celebrity-Amateur Challenge will be at the King & Bear, beginning at 8 a.m. March 26. Up to 30 foursomes will compete with one celebrity. The Slammer & Squire will be the site for foursomes without celebrities, with a morning and afternoon shotgun start for up to 56 teams.
The entry fee for teams with celebrities is $5,000, and for teams without celebrities, $2,000. Celebrities will be assigned to teams on the basis of an auction at the pairings party March 25.
For information on entering the tournament, call (904) 798-3308 or visit caddyshackcharitygolf.org or worldgolfhalloffame.org.
After spending two decades at the two golf clubs on the Southside Boulevard corridor, Rocky Staples has become the general manager of one of the oldest clubs in Jacksonville, the San Jose Country Club.
Staples took over at San Jose last week, following 10 years as the Deerwood Country Club general manager. During that time, Staples oversaw the transition from Deerwood being owned by Gate Petroleum to member-owned, and a course renovation.
Before that, Staples had been the first general manager at the Deercreek Country Club. In going to San Jose (which was built in 1925), he reunites with head professional Todd Bork, who had worked with Staples in the late 1980s at Marsh Landing.
"I truly loved my time at Deerwood," Staples said. "The members and staff were great to me and my family. I'm looking forward to getting to know the San Jose members and staff and help them uphold the long and great traditions of the club."
Staples is a United States Golf Association committeeman and rules official, and is the chairman for the area's Amateur Public Links qualifying tournament.

Women Peacebuilders I Infocus: ElsaMarie D'Silva
While we head towards International Youth Day on 12th August, Safecity is taking this opportunity to honour women peacebuilders through this series on Women Peacebuilders. We invited women peacebuilders to speak of their experience of using different tools towards peacebuilding in an attempt to showcase the massive change women leaders are bringing towards developing peace and to build collective learnings for those who want to be engaged in peacebuilding processes.
Series curated by Vandita Morarka
Edited by Renita Siqueira
Most of us remember the December of 2012 with the Delhi gangrape and shivering bones on the streets of Delhi. We couldn't have understood Jyoti's suffering entirely but when the pieces of her assault came together we were devastated. When she succumbed to her wounds we took to the streets to demand justice and thought our part was done but Elsa Marie took a step ahead and gave us something hopeful to remember from that time.
ElsaMarie D'Silva is currently the Founder & CEO of Safecity. An experienced aviation professional for around 20 years, she shifted to the social sector due to her interest in bringing about social change to improve the lives of women, youth and senior citizens through awareness, interaction and education
What got you started on your peace journey?
Elsa: I have worked in the aviation industry for close to 20 years. I was a part of the Kingfisher airlines when it shut down in 2010. I was finding my purpose in the world when the gang-rape in 2012 occurred. The incident pushed me forward to focus on empowering women and youth using technology and to contribute to peace building. It was the impetus for me to start Safecity.
Could you give us a brief background of your work?
Elsa: I wanted to make personal experiences of sexual harassment and abuse in public spaces available in the public domain so I chose to have a crowdmap. The public is free to give anonymous information and/or mark hotspots on our crowdmap of places they've been exploited.
We have collected over 10,000 stories over 50 cities in India, Kenya, Cameroon and Nepal. We have worked in 10 neighbourhoods around Mumbai and Delhi which has improved the lives of more than 1500 families. We have worked on college campuses and done workshops for around 13,000 people. Directly and indirectly we have engaged with 300,000 people through social media (Twitter, Facebook), our website and on-the-ground campaigns. We've used art in many places to inform communities why staring and other types of sexual violence is not appropriate behaviour. We've also used the medium of theatres to inform and educate people. We've done a lot of safety audits, the recent one being along the railway lines in Mumbai. It was based on the data that has been on our crowdmap. The safety audit findings and recommendations are submitted to the Ministry of Railways. We have also done street market audits based on the hotspots marked on our map of Mumbai and that has been submitted to the Chief Minister of Maharashtra's office. We've had over 100 press mentions and over 150 articles, we have worked with over 500 volunteers. Our bloggers not only write for Safecity but also for other organisations with similar causes.
What we've done is, we are trying to establish models where crowd-sourced data can be used to make civic change not only by institutions like police and municipality but also by communities.
How have you engaged with the youth towards peace building?
Elsa: We work a lot with college and high school students, we provide them with info on sexual violence, the legislation, their rights and the redressal mechanism in case they are ever harassed or abused. We also encourage them to report on Safecity and join volunteer programmes and work either as campus ambassadors or bloggers, graphic designers, data analysts or handle social media. Through these programmes we have observed that the youth have increased leadership skills, they feel confident about themselves, talking about issues and managing projects.
What are the challenges that you have faced?
Elsa: The challenges we've faced is that a lot of people, a lot of youth readily volunteer but they aren't committed to what they've said. On the other hand, we've also found a lot of brilliant people and they've further joined our team.
I would encourage the youth to volunteer as it is a great activity to explore the various works available for them and how by showing commitment and integrity they can build their own personality, credibility and work ethic.
How do you think the youth can be leveraged better towards peace building?
Elsa: One is to incorporate the youth in your vision and explain it to them. Ask them to design a project that they would manage, provide them with guidance, give them the flexibility to implement and execute it. Help them develop their own projects which will eventually meet your expectations and the needs of the organisation.
You need to have patience while managing them as a lot them have their own style and personality. You can have periodic reviews with them to discuss what is working and what is not working and to fine tune the way it works.

Hello Friends, it's time for another Joy of Needle and Thread update. I had shared with you before Christmas last year the Christmas ornament Miss Baby stitched for my sister for a handmade gift exchange.
Ever since that ornament, Miss Baby managed to finish stitching for herself two more Christmas ornaments before the end of 2014. These ornaments are quite small – about 2 1/2″ x 3 1/2″ finished.
The Christmas tree stitching is just a repeat of the one she stitched for my sister, except we added more colors, and an extra "tree layer".
Miss Baby used a chart for the first time to stitch this adorable bird. Her comment to me was, "Mom, this is good for Math." She meant the counting part of reading the cross-stitch chart was good for her Math skills, ha! As she was stitching along, she also told me it was amazing to see the stitches come alive in the picture.
Thanks for stopping by! My joy is indescribable as I see the next generation enjoying needle and thread.
For past Joy of Needle and Thread post, click here, here, and here.
Such a lovely thing to do with your daughter. Her handwork is beautiful! Thanks for sharing.
Oh that is fabulous! Not only is she doing a beautiful job of it, it's something you two can share together.
How precious to discover your daughter shares your love of sewing.
Miss Baby does such beautiful work. The bear is going to be so cute. Very special gift.
Miss baby is coming along so nicely in her skills! I love to see needle arts being passed along to the next generation.
Oh Miss Baby is hooked on cross stitch. When are you going to teach her piecing and quilting? All lovely!
Such a joyful and exciting time for both of you. It gives me such a happy feeling, the memorable time that you are sharing. A lifetime of wonderful memories. Miss Baby's work is gorgeous. I'm impressed with her patience. The most precious gifts, for both the giver and the receiver, are the ones that are handmade with love tucked inside. Thanks for sharing these special moments.
I'm so proud of her, and of you. To think that she already gets the connection for fun crafts and learning. Such a smart cookie! Hugs to you both.
She is a very clever little girl. She will be doing patchwork soon!
Sweet! Way to go Miss Baby!
she is amazing . . . . a needle and thread protige ( that's probably mis-spelled) Ask Miss Baby, I can't imagine what she'll be doing a a few more years! You are a very good teacher.
What precious counted cross stitching that she I done. She is definitely taking after her mother. WHAT A JOY to see Miss Baby doing this.
Miss Baby's skills would put a lot of adults to shame. Hope sewing is something she enjoys her whole life.
She is doing such a great job and I can just imagine your thrill at her carrying on with your love of all things stitched.
This is so good to see!! In this day of people glued to their I-phones it is inspiring to know that hand made crafts are being passed on. It warms my heart to see the next generation learning what we prize. Great job, Wendy!!
I adore them. She has talents you are encouraging very nicely. Makes me want to get busy stitching! Beautiful!
I know your heart is singing!
She's doing a wonderful job, especially as young as she is!


On Tuesday, October 30, Wareham Police arrested two individuals in operating under the influence incidents, both involving accidents.

Lessons from the long game of biodiversity conservation
Photo courtesy of Mark Zimsky
Mark Zimsky wears two hats at the Global Environment Facility: he manages its biodiversity work globally, and its work in Latin America across all focal areas. In an interview, he reflected on how working on organic farms as a young man deepened and informed his interest in global environmental issues, and shared highlights from his more than 20-year career supporting GEF projects.
How did you get into this line of work?
During my high school years, a group of friends and I became interested in the "back to the land" movement of that era. There were many trailblazers during that time who were writing about the disconnect of people and nature, and "good work," and the need to reconnect to nature to realize one's full human potential. My friends and I began investigating lifestyles and jobs more in harmony with nature than what we saw our parents' generation achieve. For me that led to leaving Pittsburgh and spending most of my 20s working on organic farms in California, apprenticing with master horticulturists to learn the art of vegetable, flower, and fruit production.
I was then offered the opportunity to join a team that was establishing an organic agriculture training center in Kitale, Kenya, at a former English boarding school. My time in Kenya was eye opening. It was the first time I had seen the challenges farmers in developing countries faced – not only with agricultural production, but also in the management of natural resources. Poor soils, limited access to fertilizers, challenges in accessing markets, and limited fuel options other than firewood required everyone to be creative and resilient.
I eventually realized that university training would help ground my practice in theory, and further deepen my knowledge. Upon returning to the United States, I earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Conservation and Resource Studies at the University of California, Berkeley as a mature student, and then received a Master's degree in forestry from Yale University. From there, I worked on a few forestry and agricultural projects in Latin America and started consulting with UNDP, helping countries design and develop GEF-supported programs. This then led to an opportunity to return to Kenya to lead UNEP's GEF biodiversity portfolio in Nairobi, and subsequently to joining the GEF Secretariat in Washington in 2004.
Could you describe a project you are currently focused on?
The beauty of working at the Global Environment Facility is that you must have the ability to focus on many issues and projects at once, so this question is hard to answer. One initiative I am currently working on is a package of grants to help developing countries quickly implement the upcoming Global Biodiversity Framework. Our early action support will include help to align national policies, biodiversity strategies, and action plans with the new international targets that are expected to be finalized this year in Kunming, China. Targeted financial support like this can make a big difference in countries' ability to turn environmental goals into reality, and take action on a large scale.

Is there a GEF-supported project that is close to your heart?
I have been involved with designing, implementing, or reviewing GEF projects for more than two decades, so I have had the good fortune to be part of many amazing initiatives. I could easily list 25 projects that are close to my heart, but here are just a few:
- When working as a consultant for UNDP, I cut my teeth on a very early GEF program, the Meso-America Biological Corridor Program, which sought to address the drivers of biodiversity loss in Mesoamerica in a truly integrated way. Working on this program's design and development provided me a glimpse of the potential of the GEF as both funder and convenor.
- More than 20 years later, I am on the steering committee for the Amazon Sustainable Landscapes Program, which is trying to address a similar set of drivers of environmental degradation and in an even more integrated way and on a much bigger scale, drawing upon a years of learning and relationships in the Amazon region and across the conservation sector.
- One of the first GEF-supported projects I worked on at UNEP, the Siberian Crane Wetland Project, pioneered the application of the flyway concept to migratory waterbird conservation – spanning the entire area covered by migratory birds on an annual basis, from breeding grounds to non-breeding areas, and their intermediate resting and feeding places. This project involved China, Russia, Kazakhstan, and Iran, with transboundary conservation and cross-cultural challenges that we were able to overcome.
- I have had the good fortune to work with many excellent civil society organizations working to develop solutions to conservation challenges. In 2015, in collaboration with the Zoological Society of London, I helped design a pilot project aimed at protecting rhinos and raising money from the private sector. The Rhino Impact Investment Project which was implemented by UNDP has proven that species-specific financial instruments can be successful and has opened the door to new ventures such as conservation bonds that can catalyze change on a larger scale.
What resonates most powerfully for me when reflecting on these projects, and my numerous trips to the field to assess implementation progress or to work with stakeholders on design workshops, is the incredible seriousness and dedication of GEF partners to advance biodiversity conservation, often against impossible odds and with limited resources. Their passion is infectious and inspiring.
What life lessons has your work taught you?
Working in the conservation field is a long game. You need to show up consistently and put in the effort every day for weeks, months, years, to make progress towards your goals.
Also, it's better to be kind.
Environmental issues are very often complicated and concerning. What gives you hope?
The creativity and capacity of the human mind, and the ability we have demonstrated to evolve as a species and design solutions to seemingly intractable problems, gives me hope. It wasn't so long ago we were living in caves.
What advice would you give a young person contemplating an environmental career?
While I still believe that multilateral organizations have an incredibly important role to play in advancing environmental conservation, I always advise young people not to follow my path. Young professionals who want to make a difference in the environmental sector today should pursue opportunities within the private sector, where they can exert greater impact more quickly as businesses work to reduce their environmental footprints and advance green products and services. At the start of my career, these opportunities were very limited but now there are an abundance of options to be a changemaker in the private sector for the benefit of the environment.
How has your idea of "good work" changed since your high school days?
Our collective dream back then was to live a life off the land, as the purest expression of E. F. Schumacher's idea of good work. I aim to still arrive there after my career detour in biodiversity conservation. While my belief in the value of the idea of good work hasn't changed, I've realized that being in service to others, and in cooperation with others, for a cause greater than yourself can take many forms — from contributing food to a community as an organic farmer to helping advance the cause of conservation.
