Matt was patient, and highly knowledgeable about Orange County real estate, and the ins-and-outs of buying/selling homes. He was incredibly flexible and accommodating, as we were selling our house tenant occupied. In selling our home in Laguna Niguel, Matt was professional and responded quickly whether by email, text, or phone call, and regardless of day or time. Also important to me was the fact that he put absolutely no pressure on us and provided information in an even-handed, non-judgmental manner, and was unfazed by several course-changes and obstacles. Moreover, he is highly attentive to detail and diligently works to ensure all documents are submitted on time and closing occurs within scheduled time frame. Bottom line – I can't imagine having a more positive experience and recommend him without reservation to anyone looking to buy or sell in this stressful market. Thanks Matt!
Matt is the absolute BEST agent I have had the pleasure of knowing and using for my real estate needs. He managed to sell our house and get the highest recorded price - ever - in our neighborhood. Highly recommend using him and will do so again...and again.
We met Matt while viewing an open house. I was so impressed with his professionalism and thoroughness that I asked for his card and subsequently asked that he represent us in our home search. He promptly responded to any texts, calls, or emails and made our search for a new home painless. I would highly recommend him for anyone buying or selling a home.
I can't speak highly enough about our experience with Matt. His dedication, responsiveness, advice, sincerity, and professionalism all exceeded our expectations throughout the entire process of selling our home. Additionally, his market knowledge was exemplary. He first spent the time to understand what worked well for our family with respect to timing of the sale, price, and layout. He then identified the perfect opportunity for us that touched on all of our parameters and efficiently guided us through the negotiation process. He was always responsive, and we very impressed with the rapport he developed with the seller to ensure the end result was a collaborative effort by all parties. I would not hesitate to recommend Matt to anyone and everyone, We look forward to working with him in the very near future on the purchase of our next home. Overall our experience with Matt was Fantastic!
Matt Babayan and Andrea Vargas are absolutely the BEST realtor team we have ever worked with. Professional, caring, genuinely interested in meeting our needs from the very start. This team brings integrity, excellent work ethic, passion and professionalism to every aspect of what they do. Matt and Andrea know the market very well and have reached out to us and served us even before we committed to them as being our realtors. There simply is no better realtor out there than this team right here. I recommend them highly!
Matt helped us to buy a property when we needed, then he helped us to lease it for 5 years and then sell it when we decided to sell. In all transactions he was highly professional and made it seemingly effortless for us. Matt has been responsive and available any time to ensure all questions are answered and all issues are resolved. We would recommend Matt to anyone who needs a good real estate agent in OC. Thank you Matt.
I wanted to take a moment and thank you for the excellent work that you accomplished on the very complicated Sale of my property. The time that you invested and the extra effort to fin multiple buyers was excellent. I very much appreciated the consistent phone and email communication to keep me apprised of the events that occurred. I also appreciate the fact that during the several times we meet to sign paperwork that everything was ready and that my time was always well spent. I will be pleased to recommend you to anyone I know that will be looking to purchase or to sell their home in this area. I would also be more than pleased to act as a reference for any time.

We want to thank you for all of your hard work on the sale of our home... We appreciate your extra effort in getting us the escrow extension through Christmas, your work on the conditions and your dealings with the buyers when their agent was out sick. Not many agents would go this far and we certainly appreciated your willingness to satisfy all parties in this transaction in the manner that you did... You are very good at what you do! We will see you around town and will refer all our friends to you.
I am writing this letter to express my gratitude to one of your employees, Matt Babayan. He helped my family and I realize a dream of home ownership. In the duration of time that I 've known Matt, he has demonstrated qualities such as honesty, professionalism, reliability and a sense of humor. It's a simple formula that equals excellent service. After my first encounter with Matt Babayan I formed an impression of him as a knowledgeable Real Estate agent and most importantly a caring individual. My intuition served me right. For the duration of five months, Matt periodically kept me informed of new properties on the market and showed them to me when I expressed interest. Since it was a first home purchase for me, and I wasn't aware of many procedures, Matt patiently walked me through all the necessary steps and explained the whole process. Also, after closing he offered us assistance and answered many questions we had about moving, home improvement, and little nuances of living in a new home. Matt Babayan truly means it when he says "if you are happy, I am happy!" And I can say that we are definitely happy! My family and I were very lucky to come across a Real Estate agent like Matt and we'll refer our new friends and acquaintances to him. I am sure that you and Prudential California Realty are lucky to have an employee like him.
It is with great pleasure that I write to recognize and recommend your outstanding service, professionalism, and most importantly, expertise as my Realtor/Broker in my recent acquisition. You listened to what I wanted and did not pressure me to look beyond the parameters I set. Your patience with me during the entire contract signing, negotiation period and close of Escrow process, which took a mere three weeks was remarkable. Your advice and recommendations of professionals including a list of house inspectors to choose from were invaluable. Your outstanding client focus and personal service, attention to detail, impressive market knowledge, outstanding work ethic, and high level of integrity superseded my expectations. I can't imagine going through this process again and with anyone but you. You made it very easy and painless for me. Therefore I find myself inclined to highly recommend you not only to my friends, but also to look forward in repeating our collaboration in the near future.
I wish to thank you for the excellent job you did in helping us sell our condo. You came in and told us what you thought. The value you told us to expect was consistent with other realtors we spoke to but we listed the property with you because you had a specific plan and potential buyers already in mind. You proceeded to do exactly what you said you were going to do. We sold the property in under 30 days and everything went smoothly. I would recommend you to anyone looking for a real estate agent in the south coast area.
Matt as a professional exceeded our expectations as sellers. His knowledge as real estate agent allow us to highly recommend his services to relatives, friends and/or whoever need a real estate agent. He always works looking for the best interest of his clients. We received from him punctuality, loyalty, integrity, professionalism, with a special ability to deal with any situation. Getting amazing results: selling our property in much less time that we though an in a great price!! Thanks Matt, Dina and Louis.
Matt is knowledgeable, experienced, communicative and works within the parameters you give him. He is fully committed to his client and their needs. He has been responsive and available 24/7 to ensure all questions are answered and all issues are resolved for a seamless transaction.
Matt has years of experience and has excellent knowledge of the local market. His responsiveness and hard work ethic is why we always recommend Matt to our friends and family to help sell or find them best home.

Q: How to Disable All Custom and Core SpringSec Filters for a URL? Using Spring Security 3.0.5, I created a custom filter.
web.xml
<filter>
    <filter-name>springSecurityFilterChain</filter-name>
    <filter-class>org.springframework.web.filter.DelegatingFilterProxy</filter-class>
</filter>

</filter>
<filter-mapping>
    <filter-name>XAuthToken</filter-name>
    <url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
</filter-mapping>

Using the filters = "none", I tried to disable all (Spring Security core & custom filters) using:
spring-security.xml
<http auto-config="true">
    <intercept-url pattern="/**/foo/bar" filters="none" />
    <intercept-url pattern="/**/**"/>
    <logout logout-success-url="/login.jsp" logout-url="/logout" />
</http>

However, when I accessed http://localhost:8080/app/.../foo/bar, a print statement shows up in my Tomcat log that indicates that my custom filter was run.
How can I disable all custom and core Spring Security filters?

A: Not exactly what you are trying to do since you want a login, but don't want anything secured.  However, you can create a separate realm (you can have multiple <http> tags in a single configuration) and simply turn off security completely:
<http pattern="/unsecured/**" security="none"/>

Obviously the pattern can be whatever you want.
I'm not sure if that is exactly what you are asking.

James Bond Will Never Be A Woman, According To Franchise Producer
By Hoai-Tran Bui/Oct. 8, 2018 10:30 am EST
British pop culture just had a watershed moment for one of its most iconic characters last night with Jodie Whittaker's debut as the first female Doctor in Doctor Who. But one British institution will probably stay the way it's always been. At least, for the foreseeable future.
James Bond, who has been portrayed by a similar revolving door of changing actors, will probably remain the same womanizing male spy who was first introduced in 1953. Despite some demands for a female James Bond, executive producer and one of the keepers of the Bond legacy, Barbara Broccoli, confirmed that there are no plans to cast a woman as 007.
"Bond is male," Broccoli said in an interview with The Guardian. "He's a male character. He was written as a male and I think he'll probably stay as a male."
Though the James Bond franchise is going through a small upheaval with the hiring of Asian-American director Cary Joji Fukunaga to helm the 25th entry in the long-running espionage series, Broccoli says we shouldn't expect a female 007 any time soon. Since current Bond Daniel Craig has announced his plans to exit the role after starring in the upcoming Bond 25, there has been chatter online demanding that the character be recast as a woman. But Broccoli says that James Bond, first introduced in 1953 by writer Ian Fleming, was written as a womanizing male spy "so there's certain things in [Bond's] DNA that are probably not gonna change."
"Let's just create more female characters and make the story fit those female characters," she adds.
Though Broccoli's blunt response is sure to incur some outrage online, I honestly think she's got a point. Bond is a product of the sexist outlooks of the '50s, and wouldn't translate well into a female character. Unlike Doctor Who, where the character is written to change dramatically with each new actor, James Bond has more or less remained the same for the past 50 years. And like Broccoli suggests, why not create new roles for women instead of hand-me-downs?
As for within the Bond franchise, Broccoli instead aims to focus the more nuanced depictions of female characters on the supporting roles, such as the expanded role of recurring character, Moneypenny, given a bold update in the Craig films by Naomie Harris. Broccoli said:
"I've tried to do my part, and I think particularly with the Daniel [Craig] films, they've become much more current in terms of the way women are viewed.
Craig is set to close out his run as James Bond in the upcoming Bond 25 set to hit theaters on February 14, 2020.

I would expect something like: popularity does not means good.
This refered to the fact that people like something because they think it is better for them, not because in fact it is.
Mostly PHP and Wordpress are good, but not been based on Zend framework is not the good part, it is the worst part (my opinion). This because there is nothing inaccessible in zend framework that would frighten people and make them leave wordpress, it is just a matter of not show that part (but beeing based on it anyway).
Right, the article was just about popularity of PHP and its relation with the apparent growth in popularity of PHP that Tiobe detected.
I just do not think PHP popularity is due to frameworks like Zend Framework. Many very popular PHP applications like WordPress existed without that kind of frameworks.
Attributing the apparent growth of popularity to just Zend Framework is probably wishful thinking of Tiobe people, as they did not show any evidence of the claim.

Sant' Antimo, Abbey of
Former Benedictine monastery in the Diocese of Chiusi in the Orcia Valley, near Siena, Italy. Its origins can probably be traced to a grant of charlemagne who endowed the house in gratitude for the passing of an epidemic that had ravaged his army in the Val d'Orcia. The abbey housed the relics of SS. anthimus and sebastian, acquired from adrian i by Charlemagne, at whose death (814) his son Louis I the Pious endowed the monastery with Montalcino and its supporting territory. The abbey church, begun c. 1118, is representative of Italian Romanesque architecture; the crypt, dating from 813, with its vault supported by four small columns, is an important pre-Romanesque monument. Within the church a semi-circular deambulatorium, showing the influence of cluniac architecture, demonstrates a feature rarely found in Italian construction. As the abbots lost their feudal jurisdiction with the rise of Siena, the house declined in wealth and discipline; it was suppressed by pius ii in 1462.

We often hear the phrase, 'Fear of the unknown', and see it as a reasonably fair reason for fear of things like; a new venture, the dark, or even death.
Yet.. how can we be afraid of something that we don't know?
My view is that, although there is often no denying we are afraid of certain unknown things.. it is not so much a fear of the unknown, as a fear of the 'loss of the known'.

Peter Pan Review
Peter Pan has been performed hundreds of times, with some of the theater's greatest names delighting audiences in the title role. But it is doubtful if the wistful fantasy has ever been done with such charm and beauty as fills the Walt Disney version of James M. Barrie's fanciful play. In a film that will captivate and amuse adults as fully as it will hold the rapt absorption of children, this Technicolor all-animation treatment of Peter Pan, "the boy who wouldn't grow up," captures the imaginative spirit of childhood to a nostalgic degree not possible in any other medium.
Given magically beautiful sets that are sheer fantasy in themselves, Peter Pan also has a lilting music score by Oliver Wallace to lend enchantment, plus some tuneful melodies that seem headed for the Hit Parade. Among the more outstanding ones are "You Can Fly," "Your Mother and Mine" and "The Elegant Captain Hook" by Sammy Cahn and Sammy Fain; "A Pirate's Life," by Wallace and Ed Penner; "Tee Dum, Tee Dee," by Wallace, Ted Sears and Winston Hibler; and "Never Smile at a Crocodile," a nonsensical piece of whistle-bait by Jack Lawrence and the late Frank Churchill.
The tale sticks closely to the familiar tale of little Wendy Darling who is told by her father she is to leave her brothers' nursery the next morning to have her own room. Desolate at having to grow up, Wendy calls upon Peter Pan who takes her and her brothers to visit Never Land. There Wendy is confronted with many dangers due to the machinations of Tinker Bell, the lovely little pixie who is jealous of her. There are also familiar adventures of Peter Pan with the villainous Captain Hook, who is finally outwitted and defeated and left to fearfully try to outswim the hungry Crocodile who is determined to make a meal of the pirate.
Wendy and her brothers are taken back home in the sky-flying pirate ship and Wendy tells her parents about her adventures in Never Land, confessing she is glad to be home and willing to grow up. Her skeptical father looks out the window and is amazed to see the ship as it passes in front of the full moon. It is a ship that he feels he has seen before — when he was very young.
Bobby Driscoll does the voice of Peter Pan to perfection, with Hans Conried delightful as the rascally Captain Hook and as the pompous father. Kathryn Beaumont's voice is appealing as Wendy, and Candy Candido is good for laughs as the Indian chief, particularly in his basso profundo version of Cahn and Fain's "What Makes the Red Man Red." Bill Thompson, Heather Angel, Paul Collins, Tommy Luske and Tom Conway also lend their voices in pleasing fashion.

A Normal Probability Plot is a graphical tool used to visualize distributional assumptions. In this method, the sample data is plotted on special graph paper that is scaled according to the assumed distribution. If the data meets the conditions of the assumed Normal distribution curve, then the data will graph as a straight line.
To construct a Normal Probability plot, rank order the data from the smallest value to the largest value.
Assign probabilities to each value based on rank, the assumed distribution, and the number of samples.
Draw a line of best fit through the center of data.

San Remo - one of the most exclusive coops in Manhattan.
The San Remo (145 and 146 Central Park West) is a 27-floor, co-operative apartment building in Manhattan located between West 74th Street and West 75th Streets. It is the first twin-towered building to rise in New York.
Past and present residents of the building include Steven Spielberg, Donna Karan, Demi Moore, Dustin Hoffman, Bruce Willis. Steve Jobs bought and renovated a penthouse apartment but never lived in it. The San Remo sits on the location that was previously occupied by a hotel of the same name.
In 1940 the most expensive apartment in the twin towered Art Deco masterpiece was rented for $900 a month by a stockbroker . Another, with room for a family of five, plus the requisite cook, butler and maid, rented for $540. In February 2013 one of the apartments was listed for rent with the asking price is $29,750 a month. Nationally, according to U.S. inflation data, since 1940 rents have risen 1,014 percent, so they have gone up about 11-fold. In New York the increase is of 2,787 percent—close to twice the rate of inflation.
The legendary Emery Roth, of Emery Roth and Sons, was the architect behind the design of the San Remo. Construction began in 1929, weeks before the market crashed, and took approximately two years to build it.
Emery Roth was born to a Hungarian Jewish and emigrated to the United States at the age of 13. During the years between the first and the second World wars Roth's firm built some of the most famous coop building in New York such as Beresford and Eldorado on Central Park West and Ritz Tower on Park Avenue. When he died in 1948, he left a remarkable legacy of over 250 apartment buildings in New York City.
Choragic Monument of Lysicrates
There are two towers of 10 floors each in San Remo emerging from the lower 17 floors of apartments. Originally designed to conceal water tanks, Roth's towers eventually evolved into a major element of his designs.
The circular temples at each top which were inspired by the ancient The Choragic Monument of Lysicrates near the Acropolis of Athens.
The Great Depression left more than a quarter of the units unoccupied. In 1940, the San Remo and the Beresford at 211 Central Park West, completed by Emery Roth in 1929, were sold for $25,000—total—over their existing mortgages.
The building has been a privately owned co-op since 1972. The board did turn down an application from Madonna in 1985—presumably because of her paparazzi following.
There are 138 apartments in the San Remo now, although the number fluctuates as apartments are combined or split. The North tower has one apartment on each floor. With its better views of midtown, the South tower was considered more desirable and was built with duplex apartments. Units are in very high demand and generally cost no less than $2.5 million dollars. As of January 2014 there are two available apartments for sale - three bedrooms from $6,495,000 and five bedrooms from $7,595,000.
In 2004 election, the San Remo was the single most giving address to Democratic causes. In 2012 New York Times reported that residents of the building have donated $395,000 to Romney's campaign and just $112,000 to Obama's. A San Remo couple, Kevin and Karen Kennedy, gave $105,000 to the Romney side.
On December 23, 2013, philanthropist Robert Wilson committed suicide by jumping from his 16th floor apartment in the South Tower.
Central Park West filled with some of the most famous residences in New York City( and San Remo on the list) form the Federally designated Central Park West Historic District that runs from 61st to 97th Streets along the western edge of Central Park.

Habitat is a partnership founded on common ground bridging theological differences by putting love into action. Habitat founder Millard Fuller called this concept "The Theology of the Hammer," explaining that even though we may disagree on all sorts of things we can all agree on the idea of building homes to eliminate poverty housing and helping those in need. Habitat for Humanity welcomes all people of all faiths to join hands with one another and help build simple, affordable homes for families in need. Help bring hope by transforming lives.
Thrivent Builds
Habitat for Humanity's relationship with Thrivent Financial brings the monetary, volunteer and advocacy resources of the Lutheran community together with the affordable housing leadership of hundreds of local Habitat affiliates. Nationally, more than 480,000 Lutheran volunteers have donated more than three million hours to construct 1,600 homes, including six homes in the Portland Metro area.
Pope Francis Challenge
An anonymous donor gave $50,000 to Habitat for Humanity Portland/Metro East to build a home in honor of Pope Francis. His challenge to Portland: raise the additional funds needed to complete the home, and mobilize students from Catholic schools to volunteer and help build it!
Pope Francis' commitment to social justice has reinvigorated the Catholic Church. This challenge from the anonymous donor is a special opportunity for both the Catholic and non-catholic communities to build a home for a local family in need, while honoring Pope Francis' belief that "Work Confers Dignity."
United Methodist Build
The United Methodist congregations of the Columbia District (formerly the Metro District) joined forces with Habitat to help make a permanent difference in the lives of families in need of decent shelter. In spring of 2013, United Methodist volunteers from churches throughout the district donned tool belts and hardhats, and sponsored and built a home alongside the Nussif family in southeast Portland.

Louise Britts on parish ministry, chaplaincy, knowing God's love
Louise Britts (2002, MDiv) couldn't figure out why a team of doctors and nurses and her own father were talking to her "down there on that table" when it was clear that she was above them, in a place of perfect serenity, surrounded by God's love. She was vaguely aware that she had coded. She saw the medical team working on her. She saw her father crying, "You can't go now! I'm not ready for you to go!" And then, as she remembers, "Zhoom. I was back in my body." The infection that had almost taken her life had given Britts something else: an opportunity to reaffirm what she already knew to be true about divine love, God, and the nature of life.
It was the second time in her life she had found herself, as she says, "surrounded by a blanket of love and care and wonder." And after that experience, she says, "I knew from then on life was going to be OK." What's more, she dedicated her life to ensuring that other people know that too.
LSTC is awarding her the "Excellence in Parish Ministry" Award during LSTC's Homecoming, but her vocation has also included chaplaincy. In both practices, Britts encourages and mentors other faith leaders to reach out into their communities, foster community in faith, and, as she says, "actually see the kingdom of God breaking in" to people's lives.
Britts' first taste of how crucial it is to have a supportive community came when she transferred to LSTC for her MDiv, after first having been enrolled in a different seminary where people actually got up and moved to another seat in the classroom rather than sit next to a Black woman. Her experience at LSTC could not have been more different.
"It was the best year of my life," she recalls—learning in a community where diversity is celebrated. "I loved listening to all the different voices. We had people who were Black, Hispanic, Muslim…" she trails off, but the memory of intersectionality in practice and inclusivity in action makes her smile.
That experience was transformative. So too was her experience doing Clinical Pastoral Education in Kennewick, Wash., where she was assigned to the hospice house. "Hospice is my heart," Britts says fondly. "The minute I got to the hospice house I thought, 'I know this is me.'" For someone who self-identifies as a natural caretaker and who has experienced firsthand that there is nothing to fear from death, Britts felt at home. That experience drew her to a bi-vocational professional practice that has always included hospice alongside parish ministry.
Today, Britts works as pastor emeritus at Messiah Lutheran Church in Minneapolis, and as a swat supervisor/hospice chaplain at Optage Hospice in Roseville, Minn. Though the work at Messiah and Optage may seem significantly different, one core element is largely the same: walking alongside people in a beloved community, assuring them that they can, as she says, "trust in God's providence and God's care and in God bringing God's miracles for things to happen." For Britts, building community is foundational to the expression of faith, because, as she says, "I actually see God's grace rain down. I see God's miracles. I can name God's miracles, so I know that God is."
To those contemplating ministry, Britts has some advice: "Develop a keen spiritual life so that you can hear God calling you and see God working through you. But also, always develop community around you. Find a group of peers who can support you. We were meant to do this with people."

Cash's digital collage is a unification of familiar human and inhuman images to make something that should be unfamiliar only to bend the sensory journey of the observer back though a surreal cohesiveness into an illusion of familiar like an emotional hallucination from another universe hiding in the crevices of our subconscious. The images he chooses are seamlessly fused together using various techniques and filters. His art empowers him. Every time he creates a piece it's like he's solving a problem. It's a healthy reminder that we can always find solutions even in places where it seems there is none.
The story of how we've come to our current understanding of the elements has been long and treacherous. All of the chapters of this story weren't necessarily fruitful but they all tell us something about ourselves and how we attempt to make sense of our universe.

We have the ability create and build amazing things. This skill set originated from bare necessity but it evolved as our minds developed the desire to create structures that could out last us. The purpose of these structures varies but they all share a commonality - to evoke feelings. As we look at these structures over time they tell us something about ourselves that has become an essential part of the human psyche...

This series metaphorically reflects the counterpoint between the destruction that is an essential part of our world/universe and mankind's destructive actions. There are calculated efforts to fool the public into believing that these actions are dignified to the point where killing is justified and our destruction of the planet is a birthright.

Industry, especially with the start of the Industrial Revolution, has been a successful benchmark for society but most people can agree that there is a price that has been paid for this success. Every developmental advancement society makes is almost always followed by issues caused by sociological flaws we've held onto since the dawn of civilization. We don't ever use enough foresight. It's like we're blind or maybe we choose to look the other way. Changes aren't even considered until enough damage is done to justify them.

Written from the platform of a consultant speaking to 'old world corporations' still dabbling with the repercussions and reverberating waves of change that the internet has wrought, The Age of Engage by Denise Shiffman exhorts the reader who may be stuck in old paradigms to, essentially, wake up and embrace what she calls 'The Live Web', another term for the internet. The application of 'the live web' to all industries and any kind of business is a call to engage more purposefully with their customers and build deeper, more meaningful relationships with them. It's a once in a millenium opportunity for business to minimize risk, bring more value and a stronger voice for all aspects of engagement with your customer.
"The Live Web offers small companies an advantage previously only found in large companies, the ability to communicate with strangers, customers, and partners no matter where they may be located…(it) drives us to reinvent our organizational behavior, our product development process and design, our partnerships, and of course, our marketing."
When a business employs the blueprint of these six tenants, they will be able to build more sustaining trust "by reshaping audience interactions", create more impactful persuasive value, extend the influence of your efforts in social media and deploy new, more effective marketing tactics.
"It is the marketer's job to change perspective, change markets, and change perceptions…every feature, function, or service is up for grabs and open to new ideas or change, so the rules never stay the same. You have to keep raising the bar."
While it's become cliché when talking about the effects of the internet on business changing all the rules (I've worked in the music business for the last 25 years, trust me, I 'get it'), it's a meme that bears a deep understanding. Finding ways to continually engage your prospects and existing customers in an authentic and interactive manner will give a competitive advantage to your business when the strategic leader defies conventional wisdom and incorporates meaningful interactions with its customers.
When a business can effectively understand the needs and wants of their customers, it can predict them with a greater frequency of success. Allowing "The Live Web" to create an environment inside one's business makes "the world small and enables us to work, think, and act together in real-time." The process of marketing must be done with a living document (and not a static 'marketing plan') that continually evolves in the course of daily business and one which creates a social, honest, open and truly interactive environment in which the customer is an active participant.
"Voice is a communications platform – a chosen value system, passion, and personality…voice is defined through the narrative you create, and that narrative encompasses your company style, tone, view of the marketplace, vision of the future, and passion."
How a business informs their audience is an important frame that brings an understanding of the product, the company and its customers. How a business chooses to enlighten its customers and market makes a statement that its market perceives with importance – don't take it lightly. To connect in 'The Age of Engage' is to have an "approachable platform and message" that utilizes the power of story that takes the customer on a journey which the audience has an important part inside of. When a business effectively engages, the audience that interprets the voice of the company senses an openness and authentic transparency which compels its people to interact, share and encourage the business to do work that they will support, thus (to paraphrase Tom Peters) making the efforts of marketing superfluous.
Though the "The Live Web" has clearly created a disintermediating affect in almost all industries and much of the material covered in The Age of Engage is well accepted by smart, sharp strategic communicators, the book pushes asides theory and provides a practical plan of action that will help medium-to-larger sized companies make sure they are doing the right actions and, if they aren't, engage in a plan of catch-up that will lead them to more meaningful and profitable relationships with the people that use their products and services.
Postlude: While her book was published in 2008, the web addresses Shiffman had associated with the book (ageofengage.com and marketingreinvented.com) are long defunct with no re-direct–just a dead end. This is not a way to 'engage'. It's an odd, sloppy slip-up connected to such a work whose 'life' extends on inside 'the living web'.

Several important documents guide the district's building program.
Long-Term Facilities Planning Task Force Report, which summarizes the recommendations of a community-based task force charged with planning for facilities needs through 2030.
The Six-Year Capital Facility Plan 2018-2023, reviews the district's projected enrollment during that time. The document outlines the district's plans for schools to house those students. The plan is reviewed and updated each year. The school board must adopt it. It sets a standard of service for a target teacher-student ratio for different grade levels. School capacity is determined based on the district standard of service and the existing classroom inventory.
The Capital Facility Plan reviews known growth areas and enrollment projections. Needs for classroom space are projected for different areas. The plan describes how the district will adjust its facilities to meet the needs of the expected population. A financing plan is included that demonstrates the district's ability to implement the plan.
Lake Washington School District construction projects range from relatively small improvements to a complete remodel of an entire school. No matter its size, any project must help the district meet its goals for student learning. That's why all building construction projects start with the Educational Specification.
This document is revisited periodically. The last review took place in 2013. It reflects knowledge gained from construction funded by the 1998 and 2006 bond measures. It also reflects updates of the district's vision and goals.
The current version was developed through a collaborative process that involved a broad-based committee. There were interviews with principals and with representative focus groups. The document defines the program elements for a typical school. It allows for optional programs or service elements to be added.
The educational specification derives from the district's educational goals. It also takes into account educational trends. This latest revision acknowledges a shift to greater hands-on, project-based experiences. These trends have implications for the design of facilities to support a changing educational program.
A 63-person community-based task force developed a set of recommendations concerning the district's long-term facilities needs, through 2030. During almost a year of work, the task force grappled with the issue of classroom capacity and aging schools in a rapidly growing school district. The district's board of directors accepted the Long Term Facilities Planning Task Force Recommendations Report in November 2015. The recommendations were in turn the basis of the successful 2016 bond measure, which funds the first set of projects.

Thanks to jph for sharing one his unreleased creations with us, we now have a brilliant isometric take on the classic Wizard of Wor to enjoy. Return to Wor features gorgeous pixel graphics courtesy of Gabe Brooks, though many players feel be slightly disorientated at first due to the skewed view presented throughout the game.
Nonetheless, everything works as it should and much of this is credited to jph's expertise at making old classics new again. As a Worrior, your task is to hunt down monsters in a maze-like dungeon with a unified field disruption rifle and several useful abilities not found in the original.

A Journey Toward Recovery:
SunDo's Potential as an Embodied Therapy
Nearly 21 million Americans struggle with addiction, and as of 2017, only a mere 10 percent of those affected receive any kind of treatment. Those that do, have traditionally received cognitive-based or talk therapies that do not address the underlying effects of trauma's imprint on the body. The practice of body-centered therapy teaches clients that all emotions and thoughts have a physical connection. Grounding themselves through the experience of the body, clients are able to reclaim their bodies as safe places, which allows new insights to develop.
Recently, a unique rehabilitation center has been changing the script on addiction treatment using the ancient practice of SunDo — and they're producing real results with it. SunDo, a Taoist practice consisting of yoga-like posture sets, breathwork, and meditation, is helping people struggling with addiction in a wonderful and profound way.
At a distance many of the services offered by Embodied Recovery in Los Gatos, California seem fairly standard — patients have access to individual case management, psychotherapy, biofeedback, psychoeducational groups, emotional process groups, and community support, but for founders Greg Vorst and Michael Nolan, these are just the starting points. Embodied Recovery works with 12 proprietary teachings that set them apart from their peers.
Vorst says, "some of the teachings are probably new to the addiction field — they're things that we were inspired to create that are maybe more contemplative or spiritually based." One of these primary teachings at Embodied Recovery is the consistent practice of SunDo across their organization — for clients, staff, and its chief officers as well.
Inspired to be different
In 2004, Vorst, a therapist of many passions including depth psychology, holistic health, and opera singing would meet one of the original SunDo masters and become deeply fascinated by the practice.
SunDo functioned as a missing piece in Vorst's life. "My challenges earlier in life were really around stress and anxiety and feelings of low self worth, so showing up day in and day out for myself and practicing like that really changed how I felt inside," Vorst says.
Vorst's enthusiasm for SunDo filtered into both his work in therapy and his friendships — specifically that with his future business partner, Michael Nolan. "Greg introduced me to SunDo in 2017 and I practiced with him sporadically until a little over a year ago when we started practicing more regularly together," Nolan says.
Nolan's experience in addiction therapy comes not only from a decade of his own professional work in the field, but also first-hand experience as a former addict, himself. While traditional recovery programs played a crucial role in overcoming his addictions, the day-to-day anxieties and emotional ups and downs that followed proved challenging to manage.
"When I started practicing SunDo more regularly, after only about six months of consistent practice, I noticed the general anxiety that had still been present after 10 years of sobriety wasn't there anymore," Nolan says. "I felt a strength within myself that I hadn't felt before."

The importance of consistency is a common theme in both Vorst and Nolan's personal experiences with SunDo. Yet despite having received promising feedback in their attempts to integrate SunDo into the centers they had previously worked for, they lacked the organizational authority to implement the practice on a wider and more consistent basis.
"Even in managerial roles which we were both in, it was difficult to hold staff accountable to different things we wanted to see when ultimately final say didn't rest with us," Nolan says. "Creating our own company allowed us to create that space and a home for our teachings, but also an opportunity to create the culture and vision that we wanted."

Individual successes with SunDo at Embodied Recovery
While SunDo was always part of the blueprint for Embodied Recovery's teachings, the center's founders did not know upfront how its requirement would be received. "We weren't really sure what to expect when we started the program; we didn't know if people were going to throw furniture at us or if they were going to really enjoy it," Nolan says with a chuckle.
"We knew we were going to do it in the beginning and initially we just had it for a couple of days and people began to want it more and they began to really like this sense of "I know I'm starting my day with this," Vorst adds.
In short time, SunDo's presence within the center's culture blossomed into a near daily ritual, being both offered and required Monday through Saturday in what amounts to about nine hours of individual practice a week. By and large, the move was not only well received, but, for many of their clients, it was positively transformative.
"I had one client who literally was convinced he would die without heroin or drugs — he hadn't been sober since he was 13 and he was a man in his mid 30's," Vorst says. "He's got two years now of sobriety. Since then, he's started practicing SunDo four-to-five times a week and that was the thing that shifted for him — his capacity to feel "I'm not ruled by that" and the obsession to use. It melted once he started practicing."
The consistent SunDo regimen also proved very effective for clients grappling with abusive and traumatic pasts. Vorst describes a client whose experience was that of being "disembodied" — meaning she didn't feel like she was in her own body.
Bodily dissociation is a natural coping mechanism for dealing with severe physical abuse and often leads to serious long-term psychological problems. While initially uncomfortable for her, consistent SunDo practice helped this client to confront her past trauma and reconnect with her whole self. This client is now nine months sober and attributes her progress to a regular practice routine.
Nolan describes another client who was emotionally crippled by years of physical and psychological abuse. This client would rock back and forth, crying and shaking. After about four weeks of SunDo practice, her breathing became more grounded and smooth and she was able to stay still and not fidget - clear indicators that her internal struggles had diminished. She was also able, through the communal practice regimen, to begin more openly trusting others again.
"With traditional recovery work, people have this fear of signing up for no more drug or alcohol use for the rest of my life — there's no end in sight," Nolan says. "With SunDo, being on a belt system, there's a way in which it gives people goals to work towards that can feel really good when they achieve them," he adds.
What science tells us
While clinical studies are still in early stages, the research findings on both SunDo and deep diaphragmatic breathing tell an interesting story. The discipline appears to affect the physiology of its practitioners and these changes then play a very powerful role in addiction treatment.
The 2013 research project, A Pilot Study Examining the Effects of Kouk Sun Do on University Students with Anxiety Symptoms published in the Journal of the International Society for the Investigation of Stress found that consistent practice of SunDo over a 4 week period significantly reduced anxiety and depressive symptoms in participants. These changes also seem to be linked to the increased production of the mood-stabilizing neurotransmitter serotonin, which deep breathing practices like SunDo promote. "We think this is very important for addiction because the studies are showing that when you deprive mice or rats of serotonin they start making wildly irrational or risky decisions," says Vorst.
Serotonin is known to produce well-being and a sense of calm. In terms of addiction work, Vorst notes that serotonin is related to the capacity to be reflective, rather than reactive and risky, in one's decision making. This cognitive shift is critical for managing triggers and a key to maintaining self-control in the recovery process.
A difference everyone notices
It isn't just clients who notice a difference in their lives, Vorst and Nolan hear it about themselves from their professional peers as well. "What actually really impresses them is the feeling they get being with us and they begin to ask what we're doing, and "can I do that?" We really attribute that to the daily practice," Vorst says.
Taoist Master Hyunmoon Kim, Ph.D.,
Founder SunDo International, Executive Director at the SunDo Retreat Center
Having recently hosted Master Kim at their center for a workshop offered to clients and staff, Vorst and Nolan see SunDo as a vital and growing part of their lives personally and professionally. They plan to attend upcoming retreats to refine their SunDo practice and receive additional instructor training.
"From what we've seen so far, we feel confident in the way in which people's lives are improving from this work so we can imagine that this will continue to grow in our recovery community and our hope is that Embodied Recovery can find ways of sharing this precious teaching with a larger audience," Vorst says.
Whether in typical day-to-day anxieties or the most dire of addiction treatments, SunDo's potential as a powerful embodied therapy is just beginning it's journey. To learn more about Embodied Recovery, please visit www.embodiedrecoverycenters.com.

The greatest threat affecting the survival of the orangutan is habitat loss. On the island of Borneo, it is estimated that forest cover has decreased by 39% between 1973 and 2010. The Bornean orangutan has experienced an 86% population decline in just 52 years with the primary cause being loss of habitat. This has caused the Bornean orangutan to be categorised as 'Critically Endangered' by the IUCN in 2016. One of the most devastating forms of habitat loss is fire. In 2015, Indonesia was devastated by fires that destroyed an estimated 800,000ha of forest. These fires have fragmented remaining orangutan habitats, which were already irregularly distributed, causing isolation of populations now in extreme danger of dying out. Although orangutan numbers can fall to 50% of their original number in logged forest, in areas affected by fire populations can be completely wiped out. Therefore studying how the behaviour, ranging and health patterns of orangutans are affected by these fires is extremely important in order to implement correct conservation strategies and save this species.
My name is Abi and I'm soon to be a Masters By Research student continuing from my undergraduate degree at the University of Exeter Penryn Campus. I was lucky enough to have the opportunity to study orangutans in the field last summer in the Rungan Forest, Central Kalimantan where I showed that orangutans distribute themselves unevenly between different habitat types both spatially and temporally. After this experience I knew I had to go back and continue researching orangutans to ultimately help protect them from further population decline. The forest fires that occur in Indonesia are so devastating to orangutan populations and I want to do everything I can to understand how they can be helped!
The aims and objectives of my masters study are to identify how orangutans have been affected by the 2015 forest fires in Sabangau National Park. My main objectives are to investigate changes in orangutan behaviour and health. This will be done by investigating activity budgets and by analysing their excretory products for ketones and parasites.
This project will be extremely beneficial in understanding how such a catastrophic environmental event is affecting a critically endangered primate; the Bornean Orangutan. Sabangau National Park holds the largest remaining population of orangutans thus is a critical area to preserve if we are to ensure the survival of this species.
If the minimum target is reached, this will fund my research in the field for one month. If the full target is reached, this will fund 6 months! The longer I can spend in the field conducting this study, the more information I can gather on how orangutans are being affected by forest fires, making a more robust and useful study. I am hoping to spend up to 1 year doing fieldwork, thus if full target is reached, the additional money will help me to fund more time in Indonesia.
The money donated will go towards the costs of living in the field, local transport, employing local field assistants and buying any necessary equipment. This will cost around £500 per month.
On top of this, extra expenditure will be on flights and visa costs.
I would be extremely grateful for any donation to help fund my project, no matter how big or small! To say thank you I've planned some great rewards to everyone who donates. Check them out in the rewards section.
Here are some of the amazing things I saw when I visited Borneo last summer!
I will be adding new blogs and photography posts on my latest work once I arrive in Borneo in January 2019 so follow me for updates!
I'd really appreciate any donation you can make. But you don't need to give money to help my cause! Please share my project with anyone you think would be interested or would like to support. Share on Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, by email, telephone and in a chat on the street! In fact, I'd love it if you could share it with everyone you know! This will not only help to spread the word about my project, but about the crisis orangutans are facing right now. I hope it will inspire people to care about the plight of orangutan populations and to make the right lifestyle choices (choosing only sustainable palm oil products or alternatives). A little action can go a long way.
