"Like, Respect and Trust."

You have been working with each other in business for more than 18 years. As sisters, how do you make that work?
For us, it's been a wonderful experience. We've grown to a group of four over the last year, and although it's a tough time of learning, we've had some fun along the way. Our team is called the Hay Sisters Wealth Advisory Group because we each contribute different views and talents, all to the benefit of our clients, as we guide them through life's pitfalls and surprises towards their financial goals. Every person and every family is different, so it's important to be able to see scenarios from many points of view, to point out potential obstacles or benefits that perhaps aren't necessarily apparent. That comes with a combined 50 years of experience, and an outlook that is both conservative and entrepreneurial, traditional and artistic. We never lose sight of the great responsibility we have towards our clients.

Reading your mantra — like, respect and trust — it feels like that came from your relationship with your clients.
Exactly. It started out as our description of how we want our clients to feel about us and vice versa. Without those three pillars, there is no relationship and no foundation to work from.

Looking around, who would you say is your biggest inspiration in business?
Honestly, this is a tough question. Just one? Really, there are so many great inspirations for us: each other and both of our parents were and are inspirations. They embodied a great combination of kindness, empathy, steely strength and tenacity. We also gain inspiration every day when we choose to see positive in both strangers and the people around us, especially when they don't realize that anyone is watching.

The financial industry, especially in Alberta, has undergone some pretty significant upheavals. What's been the biggest challenge you've worked through?
The biggest? The past five years have been the most tumultuous years for us, both personally and professionally. The biggest change has been the illness and death of our Dad. His strength and selfless attitude reinforced what is truly important in relationships both personal and professional, and it's caused us to want to simplify life and concentrate on positive endeavors.

Any last piece of advice for other women in business?
Don't be afraid to fail. Women tend to talk themselves out of opportunities that are available because we're unsure or maybe don't fit the qualifications exactly. Go for it!

賀 CON+ 獲得國際型比賽 SDN 學生組優勝

Blind Navi

A navigation app specially made for the visually impaired. Design for the experience of going out.

Designer / Hsuan-Eng Chen, Chien-Hsing Chen

Professor / Hsien-Hui Tang, Neng-Hao Yu

Software Engineer / Yi-Ying Lin, I-Fang Wang

Using mobile apps to help route finding is very common for most of us. However, these apps with touch screen are not friendly for visually impaired people who eager for going out independently. Moreover, apps widely used now are not specially made for the visually impaired, therefore create much confuse and problematic user experience. The main purpose of this project is to provide a new mobility-aid solution of navigation app, which helps remember meaningful information over the journey, and make the trip safer and smoother.

Unlike those applications provide visual guides, we want to refer to the way blind people recognize and remember the road, and provide the multi-sensory messages combining familiar reference points that they’ve learned from O&M training. “BlindNavi” is an app prototype with 3-step simple search, flat flow design, voice feedback consisting of multi-sensory clues, combined with micro-location technology, to assist visually impaired people going out easily and explore the outside world on their own.

This is the structure of the entire project. We did a deep research to understand the visually impaired smartphone user's real need for mobile navigation. Afterwards, we conclude several needs from the research to develop our design strategies and make prototype.

The target user of BlindNavi is a visually impaired smartphone user with large demand for autonomously mobility. He/she must have the experience of orientation and mobility (O&M) training. Abilities like recognizing clock position, finding zebra crossing by hearing car sounds, avoiding obstacles on the road are required.

According to our pilot study, we conclude our design direction as following: 1) Find Address & Phone Number; 2) Route A to B; 3) Where Am I; 4) Route Record. 6 features in BlindNavi are designed to solve the problems we discovered from our interviews and observation.

1.Tedious Search Process vs. Easy 3-step Search

Normally, users have to switch between many so apps to get different kinds of information e.g. address, phone no., complex route / transfer plan, bus information, or more location details. All these are crucial to the preparation of going to somewhere they’ve never been before. In order to get what is needed, they have to go through the whole cumbersome process.

In BlindNavi, search is quick and easy! 1)Just tell the app where to go; 2)Select the correct address; 3)You''ll get the phone number of your destination. And you can easily share all those information with friends!

2.Typing Problem VS. Less typing in the whole process

Switch between apps and key-in the text to the right spot is time-consuming. It has become the main reason why the visually impaired prefers to search information on PC rather than their cell phone. Problems include: 1)Select each alphabet on keyboard is slow; 2)Speech input may occur erros that requires modification; 3) The VoiceOver gesture of copy paste is not always functional.

BlindNavi pre-fills text to the right spot. It saves the time spent on typing and get users to what they need in a few seconds.

It’s easy to get lost for the visually impaired to switch between complex UI layers. Most of the apps requires user to “go back” to previous layer to start another task. However, too many layers would only make users feel lost.

Users are able to exam all search results on the same screen without switching between different app layers in BlindNavi. And start another search whenever needed.

4.Abstract & Imprecise Navigating Description VS. Multi-Sensory Clue as Navigation Content

Current navigation messages are hard to imagine for the visually impaired, for exam- ple, numbers of meters & the term of east, west, north, or south. These descriptions are too abstract for people without sight. Extra tools are needed to help identifying those concept sometimes.

Each navigating description includes 3 parts. First, the location name, it’s displayed as road intersections, lanes, bus/MRT stations or stops. Second, the environmental description, it’s delivered by the unique feature of BlindNavi with providing detailed clues around the user including felt by touch, hear, smell, or step. It can be auditory, olfactory, and tactile clues like car noise, 7-11 doorbell, or even the food smell. Sighted people often ignore these clues but it is the key point of “multi-sensory” clue navigation content. Last, corresponding action for the users such as making turns or going straight.

5.GPS Deviation + Lack of Immediacy VS. Micro-location info from iBeacon + Gesture Shortcut

“Current Position” is the most most frequent used function while navigating. But touch the screen to activate it seems not instant enough. Plus, GPS deviation is troublesome when the precise address (numbers of each door) is needed.

With BlindNavi activated, you can shake phone to get “WHERE AM I” information, including precise address, around spot, nearest bus/MRT station.

6.Fragmented Route Detail Memory VS. Personalized Route Record to Share

Each individual has their own way to memorize the route information. However,it’s hard to remember all the details on the road. Only fragmented memories left after going home. Not to mention review the route again or share those experience to help others. We've discovered there’s huge need for information preserving and sharing.

BlindNavi saves the route you’ve walked automatically for you to review. 2 taps on the spot to add your own memo to the place. And of course, It can be shared to your friends!

We invite some of our target users to test the prototype and give us feedback for the next design iteration.

LG Arena

Client: NEC Group
Location: Birmingham
As part of a winning OJEU bid, DLA Landscape & Urban Design were commissioned to provide full landscape architectural services, working alongside the NEC Group to provide a new world class setting for the proposed Arena refurbishment. The aim of the external environment design was to build a sense of anticipation for pedestrians as they journey towards the Arena , to make each visit memorable, and, key for the NEC Group, to encourage the all important, essential repeat visits.

The primary concept driving forward the design of the landscape as a whole is inspired by the NEC Arena’s long history of hosting live music events. From paving and planting design to the external lighting strategy and the living wall, they all reflect a physical expression of radiating sound waves within the public realm.
The landscape proposals encompass a number of key components which work cohesively together to deliver the overall design concept. The relocation of the arena entrance prompted the creation of a dynamic new pedestrian entrance plaza to provide a robust landscape solution which holds large numbers of visitors, providing flexibility. A stunning 6m high ‘living wall’ of lush vegetation provides a striking backdrop to the new plaza containing views and directing patrons towards the main access.
A secure outdoor entertainment zone creates a flexible external space which provides opportunities for additional concessions and temporary entertainment before and after events. A 3m high, illuminated glazed screen separates the space from general circulation, adding an innovative and vibrant landscape element.

Even though they’ve had so few appearances, they loom so large. So I’d always wanted to bring them back, because I thought I could do something with them. You can just do a bit of worldbuilding, because there’s so much to play with…”

How To Teach Recall Out Of Play

Recall Out Of Play

The "Recall Out Of Play" is the exercise we all think of when we want our dogs or puppy to come when called. Remember our dogs have two modes of operation; in the control state or obedience mode and the play state. The play state is anytime that we haven't asked our dogs to be in control. The play state is pretty much most of the time. Your dog probably enjoys the play state more often than the control state. To get your dog to come out of the play state, we must practice when they are in the play state. Your dogs emotional state is also attached to the command. So the more excited your dog is when you practice this exercise, the better the performance when you need it.

The Recall Out of Play is similar to the Down On a Play in that your dog is running to you when you give the "come" command and finish the exercise with a formal recall position.

Practice on a six foot leash until your dog is reliable, then
move to the 30' line.

  1. The exercise starts with your dog either sitting or down in the heel position.
  2. Call your dogs name softly to get them to look into your eyes, when you have their attention, say "Good" and then say "Play!".
  3. Run forward with your dog for about 10-15 steps, then stop and call your dogs name and say "Come!" and run backwards praising your dog for 10-15 steps.
  4. Again say "Play!" and run in your original direction causing your dog to turn and run with you again for 10-15 steps.
  5. Then once again stop running and call your dogs name and say "Come!" and run backwards for about 5-7 steps. As your run backward shorten the leash until you are holding it about an arms length from your dogs collar in the right hand.
  6. Say "Sit!" and stop running with your both legs together leaning forward over your dog. If your dog needs help sitting straight use your left hand to help position your dog so the end up facing your squarely.
  7. Once your dog is sitting, say "Good. and then return to your dog by walking around the right side behind them.

After you return to your dog, repeat several times.

Alternate Method
In this exercise, you practice "come" anytime your dog is in an excited state. Of course in the begining you dog must be on leash for this exercise to become reliable. A good way to practice this exercise is during a play date with your dogs friends practicing this as well.

This is called the "Group Recall".

All dogs on leash during play.On que:

  1. Untangle the leashes.
  2. Check behind you (check for obsticles and rough terrain).
  3. And call your dogs name followed by the "come" command.
  4. Run backwards, giving your dog a "boost" with the leash to create momentum towrd you. As you keep moving backwards your dog should begin to turn and run towards you. As they do, shorten the leash and guide them to your center and reward them.
  5. Take a moment to practice a "sit" and an attention exercise, then release your dogs back to center for more play.

Dota 2 Earth Spirit Guide, Build & Strategy

Dota 2 Earth Spirit Guide, Build and Strategy (Kaolin the Earth Spirit).

Earth Spirit Background Story
Deep amid the Upland crags and cliffs there runs a seam of sacred jade long foresworn by highland minders. From this rare material, the likeness of the great general Kaolin was carved and buried at the head of a stone funerary army ten thousand strong–a force of soldiers and holy men, jesters and acrobats, carved by crafstmen and entombed for millennia in the dark embrace of the Earth.

What the craftsmen had not known was that within the strange seam of jade flowed the spirit of the Earth itself–an elemental force at one with the planet. When the force within the carved jade found itself cut off from the life’s blood of the world, it gathered its strength over the course of a thousand years and dug itself free and into the light. Now the great Kaolin Earth Spirit strides the Upland roads, fighting for the spirit of the Earth; and in times of need calls forth remnants of his buried army still locked in the loving embrace of the soil.

Name: Kaolin the Earth Spirit(DotA), Earth Spirit (Dota 2)
Affiliation: The Radiant
Type: Strength

Downey carnival cars

It's been a rough weekend for the carnival at Downey High School. It rained most of yesterday. Today the sun was out (and the sky was wonderfully blue!) but the wind was strong and cold.

Downey carnival slideSo it wasn't very crowded, but there were still plenty of little kids enjoying the rides. Whether it's just the illusion of speed in the little cars, or the real speed of the super slide, kids love the carnival rides! And sometimes, so do the parents.

James 1:2-3

James 1:2-3- “Consider it all joy, my brethren when you encounter various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces endurance.

Are you struggling?  Perhaps you are dealing with financial difficulties? Maybe you are having a health problem?  Has someone close to you gone astray?  We are all facing adversity in one area or another.  Scripture clearly teaches that the Christian who endures will surely have done so through adversity.  The basis for our rejoicing during times of suffering is not by deceiving ourselves into thinking that our adversity is not real nor are we to employ the worldly mechanic of overcoming adversity through positive thinking.  The joyful Christian recognizes not just the command to rejoice but the rationale behind the command which is that such testing produces growth in our faith.  God puts trials and testing in our life in order to mold and shape us into willing servants. In the same manner in which the athlete suffers through training that he be prepared for competition, so too must we suffer in order to be prepared for the work which God places before us. If our objective is to draw nearer to God, then our desire to become who God wants us to be will overwhelm the struggle of our temporal circumstances. Like the victorious athlete who recognizes that the glory of victory is worth the pain and suffering of training, the believer is to be oriented to future glory not temporal suffering.  Paul clarifies the believer’s destination in Romans 8:18- “for I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory that is to be revealed in us”.

Consider the incredible truth revealed to us by the writer of Hebrews concerning our Lord, Jesus Christ.  “For it was fitting for Him, for whom are all things and by whom are all things, in bringing many sons to glory, to make the captain of their salvation perfect through sufferings (Hebrews 2:10).  The word translated “perfect” does not mean sinless perfection but maturity or completeness for Christ did not have to grow into sinless perfection, he was sinless from birth.  Jesus had to endure adversity in His life in order to be prepared for the work that God the Father had placed before Him.  The believer should be comforted during trials in knowing that just as the pioneer of our Christian walk had to endure suffering in order to be made complete, so too must we suffer that we be one with Him: “For both He who sanctifies and those who are being sanctified are all of one, for which reason He is not ashamed to call them brethren…” ( Heb. 2:11).  Imagine if you had the opportunity to stand side by side with Christ and suffer with Him!  If given the choice between temporal comfort or suffering with Christ, surely you would choose to suffer with Him given what you know about Him.  Then consider- that is exactly the opportunity that you are presented every time you face adversity as Paul explains: “The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God, and if children, then heirs- heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer with Him, that we may also be glorified together (Rom. 8:17).  The believer has the opportunity to share in both the suffering and the glory of Jesus Christ.

Orient your thinking to the eternal realities of your relationship with Jesus Christ.  Recognize that if Christ had to endure adversity in order to be made complete, how much more do we need adversity in our lives?  Consider that God is molding and shaping you to be Christ like and as a result you will share in the glory which is to come.  Weigh this against the temporal discomfort of your struggle and ask yourself whether or not it is worth it.  Considering this reality, how could we do anything but rejoice!  Rejoicing in our suffering will enable us to draw nearer to God.

Pantene and comparable products are complete of plasticizers that add artificial shine to the hair. Christin is a natural overall health, whole being wellness advocate with a lot of years of knowledge in connected industries. The older I get, the far more natural I want to be and am striving to be chemical totally free in all locations.

The density of the hair is based on the quantity of cuticle that is protecting the hair from the environment. That is a principal contributing aspect to the fragile nature of this hair the hair is quite most likely to break at the point where the strands are dry. Numerous mothers and some fathers complain that after washing their child’s hair tangles occur, creating it extremely uncomfortable for the youngster to withstand the drying and combing method.

The women who decides to go natural is faced with a reality of how significantly or how little their option will be accepted amongst their peers.

We had been taught to wash our hair as tiny as attainable because water and moisture was negative for us… but that only caused us to have drier strands resulting in extreme breakage and shoulder length hair at the most for numerous years. But just before you go in for any of the organic merchandise, you ought to know your hair type, color, texture, top quality so accordingly you can choose the correct type of items and boost on it.

Neck/Low Back Pain

Even though chiropractors do not treat specific conditions, the following are examples of the many conditions that can be helped when chiropractic adjustments remove interferences to the nervous system and allow the body to heal itself.

Subluxations (misalignments of the spinal column) are one of the most common causes of neck and low back pain. When vertebrae are misaligned, they put pressure directly on spinal nerves, causing pain. Muscle spasms may set in, which can increase the pressure further. This extra pressure can cause even more inflammation and irritation, which leads to more pain. And the cycle continues.

Often times stretching and massage may only temporarily relieve the pain, because the cause (subluxation) has not been addressed. A chiropractic adjustment focuses on correcting the cause.

Nature’s first green is gold,
Her hardest hue to hold.
Her early leaf’s a flower;
But only so an hour.
Then leaf subsides to leaf.
So Eden sank to grief,
So dawn goes down to day.
Nothing gold can stay

- Robert Frost 1874–1963

Weekly Practice Schedule

We offer regular Zen practice on Thursday evenings which includes chanting, sitting meditation and walking meditation, consulting interviews. Our weekly practice is offered free of charge, and is open to the general public.

Chanting and Zen Meditation

7:00 PM - 7:30 PM: Chanting

Links to our regular practice chants:

Evening Bell Chant

Homage to the Three Jewels,

Heart Sutra in Korean,

Heart Sutra in English,

The Great Dharani

 7:30 PM - 8:30 PM: Sitting and Walking Meditation

(Consult the calendar for updates or occasional adjustments to these times).

Meditation Instruction

How to Practice: Our tradition has three major forms of Zen practice: bowing, chanting, and sitting meditation.The forms are very simple, and once you have seen them it is easy to follow along. Follow this link for more information about the practice forms…

If you are new to Zen meditation, or need a refresher, we offer meditation instruction the first Thursday of each month beginning at 7:00 PM. Please arrive by 6:45pm. There is no fee or requirement to preregister. If you are new and coming on a regular practice evening, please arrive 20 minutes early so that we can give a brief orientation prior to practice starting.

Remember to wear comfortable and loose clothing.

(Consult the calendar for updates or occasional adjustments to these times).

Consulting and Kong-An Interviews

Consulting interviews are offered the fourth Thursday of the month during regular meditation practice. These interviews are an opportunity to ask questions about your practice and daily life. No kong-an practice is done during consulting interviews.

Consulting interviews are given by a Sr. Dharma Teacher (Son Do Poep Sa meaning"Good Guide").

(Consult the calendar for updates or occasional adjustments to these times).

Kong-an interviews are offered on the second Thursday of the month (usually via Skype). Kong-ans are a powerful practice tool unique to Zen, used to test the clarity of a student's mind. The traditional kong-ans are recorded anecdotes involving Zen practitioners. Usually kong-ans call for completion, or have an error built into them. Their seemingly paradoxical nature comes solely from our attachment to words, or our clinging to our ideas or opinions. In reality, kong-ans require common sense and compassion. Ultimately every moment of our life can be seen as a kong-an calling for this same common sense and compassion. That is the correct function of our true nature.

Kong-an interviews can only be given by a Zen Master or a Ji Do Poep Sa Nim (meaning "Point Guide").

Study and Discussion

Study and discussion happen on the third Thursday of the month, when announced. Study and discussion usually involves a book study of writings of Zen Master Seung Sahn or other teachers in the Kwan Um School of Zen. Other teachers from other schools are also included and are usually from the Zen tradition.

Dharma Talks

Dharma talks happen when there is a fifth Thursday of the month or the evening before a retreat. During Dharma talks students and members of the Delaware Valley Zen Center give talks about their own practice with emphasis on the Zen teachings of the Kwan Um School of Zen followed by a question and answer period guided by a teacher.

Practice is held at New Ark United Church of Christ, 300 East Main St, Newark, DE 19711.

Directions: Main Street is a one-way street. The church is after the Newark Emergency Center, just past Kelway Plaza on the right. The church's parking lot is behind the church, with handicapped spaces in front. Please enter using the back entrance.

The Bikinis

This bikini is my absolute favourite. I felt like a beach babe especially with the straw hat to go with it. The tie-dye was what captured me but then I put it on and love the way it frames my body - especially my lack of boobage! Shout out to the girls with no boobs, and a happy belated pancake day (just kidding!) - this bikini will change your life - buy it here!

Tommy Hilfiger - Rework
ahhh the reworked Tommy - if you didn't already know the brand! I know this bikini is one of the hot ones out there at the moment, like Calvin Klein who? Just kidding love you Kleiny - but honestly - everyone and their mum wears Calvin Klein so I thought a change is needed!
I love love the halter neckness of this and the fact it looks beautiful under mesh!

& other beach loves
Kimono's are the perfect finishing touch to any bikini. They are an absolute necessity and are incredibly chic. This one by ASOS, is currently the favourite kimono I own. I love the mixed tile print, the split side detailing, the layers and the length. I felt like a goddess.
P.s. I am not frowning, I am squinting trying to find the light - #tyrataughtme

The Scenery

SO these are just a few thailights of my trip. Trust me I could have posted like 500 but I had to calm down. The place is seriously beautiful - I am already looking to go again next year, that will be my third !!
On the plus plus, I am going to New York tomorrow ya'll - my life is so 112 right now, peaches and cream !

Keep up with me:

Self-Publishing Platforms: Getting Your Book Into the Marketplace

It wasn't so long ago that self-publishing was viewed as a bit, shall we say, déclassé. Distribution was often facilitated by the trunk of the author's car, and word-of-mouth was the only form of publicity. Thanks to ebooks, the internet, and the availability of digital publishing platforms, however, things are changing. The stigma of self-publishing has diminished, and even previously trade-published authors are giving it a try.

Some of the biggest publishers in the world are also getting into the self-publishing game, either with their own startups or by buying existing companies. In July 2012, Pearson, PLC bought Author Solutions for $116 million. Self-publishing is now big business.

There are numerous places to sell your ebook online-and almost as many platforms. You'll need to reformat your ebook for almost every different website. For those authors who don't have the knowledge or the time, the process of setting up all the different ebook formats and uploading to the various websites can appear daunting. But not to worry, there are companies out there who can do all that work for you, plus upload directly to the various outlets, and in some cases, sell your ebook.

Founded in 2002, Lulu Enterprises, Inc. was one of the first online self-publishing companies. It now sells a variety of services, but it's still possible to publish on its site for free. The company takes a 20% royalty on books sold, and the author sets the price.

Kobo, Inc.'s recently released DIY portal, Writing Life, allows you to publish and sell through its site for free. (Full-service publishing and other services will cost you.) Kobo will format and sell your ebook through its site and e-readers, but it will also give you your ebook in formats that other sites use. Mark Lefebvre, director of self-publishing and author relations at Kobo, explained that while the company hopes its authors will stick around when they see how much Kobo has to offer, it understands why writers want their work available on multiple platforms. Kobo has created some unique features available on its own platform such as the Author Notes Program, which can allow for a dialogue between readers and the author on the ebook pages themselves. And in Canada, Kobo e-reading devices are outselling Kindles almost two-to-one.

BookBaby, an offshoot of CD Baby, doesn't sell your ebook; it just does all the formatting work for you-for Kindle, NOOK, iPad, Sony, and even Kobo, with packages starting at $99. It will keep track of your accounting from all the different sites and offer payments on a weekly schedule. (You certainly won't get weekly royalties or even statements with a trade publishing house.)

The aforementioned Author Solutions, which calls itself the "the leading indie publishing company in the world," offers both print and ebook services to authors-including formatting along with other options, such as cover and interior design, publicity and marketing, website creation, and according to the website, even "television and infomercial advertising." In the past, Author Solutions has helped start self-publishing imprints for several large trade publishers, including Harlequin Enterprises Ltd. and Thomas Nelson, Inc. In 2009, Author Solutions purchased Xlibris Corp., another self-publishing company, which had previously been partially owned by Random House, Inc.

With more and more services being offered by more and more companies, options are growing for authors who choose to self-publish. However, is the line between self-publishing and vanity publishing becoming blurred? If you're spending far more than the book will ever earn, is it worth it? The "rah-rah, self-publishing is better than trade publishing, away with the gatekeepers" cry can sometimes smack of sour grapes. Choosing to go it alone only because you're afraid you don't have a shot in commercial publishing or because you don't want anyone editing or even changing a single word does a disservice to your book. I worry that there are books, particularly novels, which might have a chance with agents and publishers, but that will never live up to their true potential and are now getting lost in the sea of self-published material.

It's important to keep in mind why you're self-publishing. The majority of self-published ebook authors do not make much money. In May, The Guardian reported that half of self-published authors made less than $500 on their books in 2011. But that may be enough for authors who've struck out with the traditional route.
