Celebrate Tampa Bay area arts, culture at Hyde Park encounter
Tuesday, June 23, 2015
The Tampa Bay Business for Culture and the Arts (TBBCA) and its "pArtner,"
Hyde Park Village
, are hosting an "Art is Good" cultural encounter to celebrate art and artists at
Piquant Epicure & Cuisine
on Thursday, June 25th, at 5:30 p.m. The event is open and free to the public.
"Those who attend the event will get a wonderful flavor and introduction to our artists – not just Tampa Bay-area based, but artists who have followings beyond our area," says Susana Weymouth, TBBCA's executive director since January of this year. "We have a very deep talent pool here of all types. We [
] are really trying to publicize and support art in general."
The interactive event will highlight Hyde Park's Public Art Initiative, which consists of iconic cheery banners of the "C'mon, Get Happy" and "Forget Your Troubles" variety created by New York-based Artist
Deborah Kass
and Tampa Bay area artists who submitted pieces inspired by Kass's work.
Of the eight local finalists, the winner,
Artist Jon Lee
from Clearwater, will be formally announced at the event along with TBBCA's Impact Award winner for "Patron of Culture & the Arts." Hint on the latter: what restaurateur and arts champion, whose deep roots in Tampa go back generations, proudly shares his collection with diners at Ulele any day of the week?
TBBCA was founded over 25 years ago by local businesses to support and encourage business-arts alliances. The organization hosts cultural encounters and supports local arts events throughout the year, provides scholarships to high school students pursuing higher education in the arts and recognizes local business leaders who have been exemplary in their leadership and support of arts and culture.
"Arts and culture are economic drivers that are essential to the prosperity and wellbeing of our community and contribute to the quality of life," says Weymouth, noting that arts are good for business. "You need to be able to attract a strong creative class as an employee base, and retain them. We firmly believe that businesses will thrive if their employees can partake in [cultural activities]. And that is what we enjoy in this area, an enormous amount of culture."
Tampa grandmother designs ergonomic holder for easily gripping smart devices
Tuesday, June 16, 2015
When Rosanne Clementi of Tampa won a Kindle e-reader in a raffle, she planned to regift it. Instead, she "got hooked" on using the device for casual reading.
There was only one problem.
Clementi has arthritis in her hands, which made holding up her new device difficult. It was painful, and, she adds, "My thumbs kept hitting the screen and changing the page before I wanted to."
An Internet search for a product that could ease her pain – some kind of handle for the e-reader – turned up empty. A folio cover served as a temporary solution, but it didn't solve the problem.
"It became my mission to develop a product that would make it easier to get a good, comfortable grip on an electronic tablet," says Clementi.
Pad Go Round
, an ergonomic tablet holder with handles, is Clementi's solution.
Clementi designed and developed the Pad Go Round for people who have difficulty with gripping tablets. The device, which can be used for various sizes of tablets and e-readers, has a sturdy base on which four handles or clamps slide. Handles can be adjusted for various brands of tablets and can be used for activities from casual reading to video or photography. Four legs on the bottom of the base elevate the tablet slightly, reducing the risk of damage from spills.
"We have such a versatile design for the Pad Go Round that it has multiple applications for various markets," Clementi says.
Clementi, who is a
successful business owner
in the field of environmental consulting, attended the University of South Florida for undergraduate studies before earning an MS from Clemson University. The grandmother of two has also formed a corporation to develop products that help make daily life activities, such as yoga, more accessible to people with arthritis.
The Pad Go Round is patented, but Clementi is still seeking the necessary funding to make the device a reality.
With over 50 backers and $5,000 pledged to the
Kickstarter campaign for the device
, the project has a long way to go to reach the funding goal of $22,000 by June 22. Regardless of whether the Kickstarter campaign is successful, Clementi says, "My plans are to continue to move forward and hit the street to market the product."
"Every day I meet someone who has not seen the Pad Go Round and falls in love with it," Clementi says. "The testimonial in my Kickstarter video from Rob [see above], the gentleman who is a quadriplegic, is my inspiration to keep going. Failure is not an option."

Aerial adventure park to open in Dade City, Pasco County
Tuesday, June 09, 2015
A new aerial adventure park, complete with zip lines and rope bridges, is set to open in Dade City in Pasco County this summer.
will boast a wide variety of zip lines that cater to various skill levels, multiple rope bridges and dozens of aerial climbing elements on a 60-acre wooded park about 40 miles northwest of Tampa.
White River Zip Lines
purchased the land in spring 2015 and will develop the TreeHoppers adventure park on the property, which also features a five-acre lake and a canopy of live oak trees.
Jon Pianki, TreeHoppers director of marketing, says that Tampa Bay's good weather and tourist-friendly attitude are the primary reasons the area was selected for the new Treehoppers location.
"We are hoping this combination will help us build an attraction that is both an asset to the surrounding community as well as a draw to outside guests and customers," Pianki explains. "Tampa Bay is a vibrant, growing community that wants more options to get outdoors and enjoy the beauty nature has to offer."
With eight different courses that cater to various skill levels and over 100 total features, there's something for everyone, Pianki says. "Small children, experienced athletes, and everyone in-between will find a right course for their comfort level."
Visitors will receive safety instruction from trained climbing monitors and be provided with safety climbing technology before embarking on any of the courses.
TreeHoppers will begin hiring for fulltime and part-time positions by mid-June, with jobs ranging from shop staff and customer service to guides and monitors. Visit
TreeHoppers website
to learn more or apply.
The park is expected to open in August, but Pianki is already looking ahead to the Fall, when the park is planning a Halloween attraction "like no other in the area."
Located at 27839 Saint Joe Road in Dade City, TreeHoppers will be open year-round, seven days a week.
"We are thrilled to offer this new experience to the Tampa Bay area," TreeHoppers CEO Benjamin Nagengast says in a press release. "Our team carefully and thoughtfully selected Tampa Bay for our newest attraction and we can't wait to introduce TreeHoppers to the community. There is nothing like it anywhere in Florida."
The aerial zip line and adventure park joins several high-rise outdoor adventure courses in the Tampa Bay area:
, 21805 S.R. 70 E., Bradenton
, located in Bradenton near Lakewood Ranch,
opened in December 2012
and features a zip line that starts at 60 feet in elevation and rockets over a 600-foot-long course across the park.
TreeUmph is expanding to a second location
in Hernando County
in fall 2016. The new park will offer around 80 obstacles on a 50-acre area.
Sky Trail Zip Line,
MOSI, 4801 E. Fowler Ave., Tampa
In the university area's
Innovation District
, Tampa's Museum of Science and Industry (
MOSI Tampa
) boasts its own spin on the aerial adventure: the
Sky Trail Zip Line
at MOSI, a 65-foot high course that is more than 700 feet long (longer than two football fields put together!).
Along with the zip line, MOSI offers a multilevel ropes course that is safe for kids and adults of all ages to explore.
Natures Boot Camp
, 11914 N. Dale Mabry Highway, Tampa
Natures Boot Camp
invites extreme athletes and adventure course enthusiasts to train at their outdoor obstacle course, centrally located in Tampa's Carrollwood neighborhood.
Try out a sprint style obstacle course with over 14 obstacles, a Mud Run that culminates in a 15-foot jump, and more extreme activities.
New Tampa Nature Park
, 17599 Dona Michelle Drive, Tampa
New Tampa Nature Park
, which connects with Hillsborough County's
Flatwoods Park
, is a low-key place to enjoy nature from above. Find zip-lining courses for kids, a climbing area, shaded trails, and more.
The 122-acre park also offers an elevated boardwalk and marsh walk that allows visitors to experience a wetland habitat from above.
Mobile app for multicultural visitor's guide wins HIllsborough County hack-a-thon
Tuesday, June 09, 2015
2015 Code for Hillsborough hack-a-thon
brought more than 100 presenters, programmers and community leaders in economic development together to create potential solutions to existing real-world problems in local communities.
The team that created a "Multi-Cultural Visitor's Guide"
won top honors
at the Sunday, June 7, awards ceremony.
The mobile app multicultural guide to the Tampa Bay area was created following county guidelines, such as: including links to
Visit Tampa Bay
and the state tourism office,
Visit Florida
; a Google-interfaced map with prominent venues highlighted, a background history or photo of the venues; a walking trail or driving route; and more desired criteria.
Code for Tampa Bay Brigade
and Hillsborough County worked together to present the 3rd Annual National Day (in this case, weekend) of Civic Hacking. County commissioner Sandy Murman praised Code for Tampa Bay's efforts to "provide a creative environment where innovation thrives."
Civic collaboration in the community, networking among local government and technologists, programmers and developers, and encouraging "civic hacking" are all part of the goals of the Hillsborough County EDI2-funded event.
During the two-day hack-a-thon, event participants were challenged to create useful resources that addressed community needs identified by data supplied from the county government. Challenges included:
Dig through thousands of lines of raw data to make Florida Vendor Payment information accessible, useful and understandable for your application
Use multiple sources of information to develop a way to help the county understand inmate populations and how jail systems are being used
Map out a shuttle transportation system for downtown Tampa
Create a web application that provides international matchmaking between foreign companies and Hillsborough County
Develop a multicultural visitor guide using basic tools like a jpeg image and a brochure
Presenters discussed best practices in tech hot topics like mobile app development or transparency for vendors, as well as community-centered issues like the challenges that government agencies and citizens alike can face when it comes to providing or accessing services or resources.
Runners up included a team that created an Emergency Preparedness Interactive Map and the Tampa Bay Trade and Protocol Council app.
2015 Code for Hillsborough partners in civic engagement include:

Designing Tampa as a smarter city
Thursday, June 04, 2015
Tampa is about to become a smarter city, thanks to Verizon Enterprise Solutions.
At a free seminar on June 12, local community leaders will have the opportunity to join national experts, such as noted futurist Daniel Burrus, in a discussion about technology-based solutions for cities.
The "Internet of Things: Smart Cities" seminar series will bring smart city experts to eight communities across the United States,
including Tampa
, where they will meet with local leaders to showcase the ways that the "Internet of Things" (machine-to-machine communication) can help cities increase economic growth, enhance safety, create more security and become more efficient.
The goal of the IoT Smart Cities seminars is to create cities that exemplify three distinct qualities: livability, workability and sustainability.
Discussion will likely include topics such as transportation and parking solutions, energy conservation, increasing citizen engagement, and how community leaders can redistribute available resources.
"With limited resources, municipal leaders are being tasked with finding ways to make their communities more efficient," Dan Feldman, director of IoT Smart Cities at Verizon, says in a
news release
"Towns and cities can start with projects like energy-efficient smart streetlights, car sharing and smart parking," Feldman explains. Then, by creating more energy-efficient or technologically advanced projects, cities can begin to save revenue that can be applied toward bigger investments, such as "tackling pollution and upgrading transit infrastructure."
, the
New York Times
bestselling author and technology futurist, entrepreneur and innovation expert, will be the keynote speaker at the Tampa IoT Smart Cities seminar. Burrus developed the "Hard Trend Methodology," which has been adopted by city planners, government agencies and leading corporations as a method of connecting cities through technology.
A name familiar to many in the Tampa Bay area, Jim Shimberg, will be the event's guest speaker. Shimberg is the EVP and general counsel of
Tampa Bay Sports and Entertainment
(which owns the Tampa Bay Lightning, who are currently competing in the Stanley Cup playoffs), as well as the company representative to the
Tampa Bay Partnership
and the
Tampa Hillsborough County Economic Development Corporation
. Shimberg, who has over 30 years of experience practicing law in the Tampa Bay area, is also the COO of Strategic Property Partners LLC, Lightning owner Jeff Vinik's real estate company (in late 2014, Vinik and his investment partners
announced a plan to invest more $1 billion
into 25 acres of land in downtown Tampa's Channelside region).
The IoT Smart Cities tour is sponsored by Verizon Enterprise Solutions, a division of communications giant Verizon, in partnership with the
Smart Cities Council
. Along with Tampa, stops include Boston, New York, Chicago, Indianapolis, Phoenix and San Jose.
Tampa's IoT Smart Cities seminar will take place from 8:30 a.m. to noon on Friday, June 12, at the Tampa Marriott Westshore, 1001 N. Westshore Blvd. To register or learn more about the event,

Local chef develops St. Pete tiki bar food menu
Tuesday, June 02, 2015
Nestled close to the Gandy Bridge in north St. Petersburg, popular waterfront bar The Getaway has added a new variety of fresh seafood and Tampa staples to the menu.
Fare includes favorites from local BBQ joint
Holy Hog
-- whose food truck could often be seen parked outside the bar on busy nights during the past year -- along with Florida-inspired seafood creations from Chef Ted Dorsey. The new menu will go live on Saturday, June 6.
Managing partner Dave Burton called the new menu "a perfect mix of food and fun" in a news release.
"We are very proud to have a renowned chef [Dorsey] work with us to create a menu that captures Florida with a foodie flair," Burton says, "and to also have Holy Hog, a Tampa barbecue staple."
The tiki bar's menu will include signature Holy Hog dishes: pulled pork, smoked chicken, brisket, fried okra, jalapeno mac and cheese, and more. Other Holy Hog favorites, like the popular burnt ends, are incorporated into new dishes, such as the Burnt End Jalapeno Poppers and Beach Tacos.
Dorsey, a local chef who has spent time in some of Tampa Bay's most well-known restaurant kitchens (
Ciro's Speakeasy
) is opening a new restaurant, The Mill, at the former Jojo's In Citta Progress Plaza location in St Pete during summer 2015.
For The Getaway's food menu, Dorsey developed a Florida-focused theme. Everything's grown, caught or inspired by South Florida and the Caribbean, from the Tortuga Nachos – with ingredients including yellow fin tuna, salsa, a wasabi soy glaze, pineapple, orange and guacamole – to the Lobster BLT salad, created with fresh Maine lobster but given a Southeast spin with avocado, pork belly croutons and a buttermilk vinaigrette.
At the new waterfront restaurant's raw bar, enjoy a variety of oyster preparations; dress them up at a nearby seafood sauce bar. Often, you'll dine to the sounds of live music.
Along with seafood, the St. Pete beachfront bar will serve burgers (with a ketchup bar for your enjoyment), sandwiches and house-made fries or Florida orange kettle chips.
The Getaway
's Managing Partner Scott Tashkin says that a consistently high volume of guests and a desire for more variety in seafood led the beach bar to develop the new menu, which was "inspired by our favorite island destinations."
"With our own food, we are able to have the creativity to take the menu any direction we desire," Tashkin says.
In addition to The Getaway's new food menu, the bar added a selection of "mocktails," cocktails that don't contain alcohol, to its drink menu of craft cocktails, beer and wine. Menu items range in price from $5-$23.
The Getaway, located at 13090 Gandy Blvd N., is open Sunday-Thursday, 11 a.m.-10 p.m. and Friday-Saturday, 11 a.m. – midnight.
The waterfront bar "has become that close to home reminder of favorite destinations," Tashkin says. "It takes a little piece of so many popular places among the Florida Keys and the Carribbean."
Black Lives Matter symposium spotlights social activism through art
Tuesday, June 02, 2015
Art can be an agent of social change.
That's the theme of the
2015 Dunham Technique Certification Workshop
, which will be held at the University of South Florida in June. The symposium will explore the
Black Lives Matter
movement through the lens of social activist Katherine Dunham's legacy in the sphere of performance art.
Dunham (1909-2006), a dancer, anthropologist and author, showcased "relentless dedication to social activism" during her career, explains event organizer Saroya Corbett.
After studying at the University of Chicago, Dunham
spent decades
as a social activist: she choreographed "Southland,'' a dance about lynching; refused to perform in segregated theaters in Kentucky; influenced the creation of anti-discrimination laws in Brazil; was one of Hollywood's first African-American choreographers; went on a hunger strike at 82 years old to shed light on the mistreatment of Haitian refugees; and was at the forefront of social activism in east Saint Louis.
"Placing Dunham at the center of the conversation surrounding social change allows the symposium to explore and identify how the arts and artists create and aid in social change," Corbett says. "Through her example, we plan to identify ways in which we can participate as individuals."
The workshop kicks off a series of activities in the Tampa area. Event organizers hope to attract "scholars, community organizers, participants in the Black Lives Matter movement, artists and the general community of Tampa," Corbett says. "The arts and artists have a unique capacity to affect change in belief systems and mores."
Brittany Williams,
Dancing for Justice
creator and coordinator of
Million Hoodies Arts Network
, as well as scholars Dr. Halifu Osumare and Dr. Joanna Dee Das, will present at the June 28 symposium.
"Dancing for Justice, the arts and particularly dance can be an integral part of fighting for the full rights and humane treatment for black and brown lives," Corbett says.
, who sits on the academic committee for IDTC and the advisory board for the Coalition of Diasporan Scholars Moving, plans to organize a #BlackLivesMatter march near the end of the workshop.
Institute For Dunham Technique Certification (IDTC)
began in 1994, when Dunham and Dr. Albirda Rose first certified dancers in the Dunham Technique. Today, professional performers, choreographers or dance educators can apply for Dunham Technique Certification; once accepted, they must attend 200 hours working with instructors and/or attending workshops for development, training, and testing prior to certification.
Members of the general public are also welcome to attend the courses and learn more about the technique.
Black Lives Matter: The Relevance of Katherine Dunham's Legacy for Today's Social Artists-Activist
symposium will take place from 1 p.m. – 4 p.m. on June 28 at
in room TAR 249. The event is free and open to the public.

Hillsborough County hackathon takes on community concerns
Tuesday, May 26, 2015
Can coding offer a cure for community problems? Hillsborough County is betting that it can.
Code for Hillsborough
, a three-day hackathon in June, could yield real-world solutions to community problems from safety to sanitation. The event, a part of the
National Day of Civic Hacking
on June 6, aims to bring UX experts, developers and "civic hackers" together with residents, designers and community organizers. The goal: Develop a solution to local civic issues via coding.
"This is a unique opportunity to bring together some of the best and brightest minds in the technology community to push forward civic innovation and open idea-sharing," says Lindsey Kimball, Hillsborough County Economic Development Director.
National Day of Civic Hacking events bring together participants in cities across the United States each year to build technological solutions that improve local communities.
The county has been a host of the annual hackathon event since 2013 "in order to highlight the growing technology community," Kimball says.
Hillsborough County has placed an emphasis on bolstering the local tech scene in recent years, from t
he expansion of its Small Business Information Center into the Mark Sharpe Entrepreneur Collaborative Center
to the
$2 million
it set aside
for economic development in the tech and startup community.
In the days before the competition, participating local governments will release data to the public that programmers or "hackers" can then use to develop apps or websites that address community concerns.
Hillsborough County's team is working on identifying the final datasets, Kimball says. One possible project that Kimball says has been identified as a focus for the hackathon is "the development of an application for children to learn about 9-1-1, and what to do in emergency situations to stay safe."
Interested in participating in Code for Hillsborough, but not technologically savvy? That's OK, Kimball says. "Anyone with the passion to make the community better" is welcome to attend and participate.
Tampa Bay event partners for Code for Hillsborough include:
Code for Tampa Bay
Hillsborough County's EDI2 program
Forex Factory
The Iron Yard
CastleRoc Information Services
Collaborative Technologies of Tampa Bay
The Grind Coffee Bar
Kahwa Coffee
"Working with volunteer community event partners has been a wonderful partnership," Kimball says, noting Code for Hillsborough's "dedicated co-chairs" Terri Willingham,
Eureka Factory
president, and John Punzak, Sr., National Sales Director for
Red Hat
Code for Hillsborough will begin at 4 p.m. on Friday, June 5; the hackathon culminates on Sunday, June 7, with final presentations beginning at 3 p.m.
Code for Hillsborough
will take place at Microsoft's Tampa offices, 5426 Bay Center Drive, Suite 700. The event is free and open to the public.
Tampa startup aims to soundproof your sleep with noise-, light-blocking curtains
Wednesday, May 20, 2015
The sound of silence.
That's what Tampa-based startup company
Residential Acoustics
promises with their patented soundproof curtains and doors.
The AcoustiDoor and AcoustiCurtains aim to block unpleasant sounds from invading your home: trucks roaring down the road; noise from nearby establishments; train whistles; loud neighbors; construction; even the sound of a roommate watching late-night TV.
Initially, Walker Peek developed and designed the AcoustiDoor to give his now-wife a quieter place to sleep or study, while Peek, a night owl, watched movies or sports in the next room.
After searching for a solution in stores, Peek turned up empty-handed. He decided to create his own version of a noise-blocking apparatus: the AcoustiDoor, which keeps sound from traveling from room to room within a home. A sample of his sound-proofing scientific research and resources
can be found
on the company website.
The original AcoustiDoor ($139-$199 for
standard sizes
) is still being used in the Peeks' home today.
The AcoustiDoor was soon followed by soundproof, light-blocking thermal curtains.
"Many people struggle with unwanted noise in their home or business and are looking for a well-made solution," Peek explains, especially apartment residents in urban markets like New York, Chicago and Atlanta, who consistently purchase AcoustiCurtains.
Most sound-blocking curtains on the market work by absorbing noise, but Peek says that AcoustiCurtains work by deflecting sound waves. "Sound deflection makes the AcoustiCurtain the most effective sound-blocking curtain on the market."
AcoustiCurtains also aim to block out almost all traces of external light, making them "perfect for new mothers, night nurses or anyone on an irregular sleeping schedule," Peek says, by "transforming a daytime bedroom into a sleep sanctuary."
In addition to keeping noise and light out, AcoustiCurtains are designed to keep heat (or cool air) in. The thermal curtain's insulating properties have helped homeowners see a reduction in heating and cooling costs, Peek says.
AcoustiCurtains range in price from $99 to $189; custom design and sizing
is also available
Along with private homes, AcoustiCurtains can be found in property management firms, construction companies and hotels throughout the United States. And as for future endeavors, Peek says the sky's the limit.
"Our team is constantly learning, innovating and improving," Peek says. "Our mindset has always been, 'What problem can we solve next?' "
With 13 employees and plans to hire several more over the summer, Peek says that Residential Acoustics is "looking to expand our manufacturing footprint."
The company takes pride in manufacturing in the U.S. using locally sourced materials. Peek calls the choice "one of the best decisions for our business. The quality, detail and workmanship of our products is something I'm extremely proud to stand behind."
Residential Acoustics plans to remain in Tampa, but move into a larger warehouse space.
"It's a very exciting time," Peek says. "The jobs added to the economy and the team we've created is empowering. I'm grateful for it everyday."
Buy a pair (or a mat), plant a tree: Tampa company seeks crowdfunding
Tuesday, May 19, 2015
Two new must-have meditation accessories for yogis are being developed in Tampa, Florida.
Gurus sandals, inspired by "an ancient wooden sandal" that Prem Thomas bought in India around 2011, have resonated among yogis online, Thomas says.
"Mainly on
Thomas and his
cofounder, Joe Choorapuzha, loved the sleek, simple design of the wooden sandals, their place in Indian history and the story that Mahatma Gandhi wore them.
The duo set out to build upon the minimal sandal and "make a product that is superior to flip-flops, but still retains the design of the original Indian version," Thomas explains.
The result is a natural rubber sandal, sustainably sourced and hand-processed from rubber trees -- a practice that can continue for up to 25 years without harming the tree.
The $30 sandal comes in a variety of colors, accompanied by a natural-fiber jute bag that features a Gandhi quote. Currently, Gurus sandals can be found
or at retailers such as surf shops, theme parks, salons, yoga studios and boutiques.
The cofounders place emphasis on producing and packaging products sustainably. The Guru sandal is biodegradable, making it a more environmentally friendly alternative to traditional plastic or foam flip-flops and sandals. To help promote the pair's commitment to sustainability, a tree is planted in the developing world each time a product is sold.
"At the end of the day, a lot of companies can make new products and sell thousands or millions of sandals," Thomas says. "We think if we can plant thousands or millions of trees, that's a little more special."
A successfully funded Kickstarter campaign ($16,236 pledged) helped bring Gurus to life. After the success of the sandal, brand ambassadors for the company wondered whether the cofounders could develop a yoga mat using the same type of natural rubber.
Thomas and Choorapuzha developed a solution: natural rubber topped with a layer of cork. A
Kickstarter campaign for the cork yoga mat
ends on Friday, May 22, at 1 p.m.
Click here to back this project
At prices that range from $80 to $115 (up to half off for pledge backers), the campaign slogan reads, "Experience a no-slip, natural yoga mat that costs less than your yoga pants!"
"The mat is pretty amazing," Thomas says, "and will even work when it is drenched with water or sweat, allowing yoga practitioners to do hot bikram yoga without a towel."
If the Kickstarter goal is met, backers can expect to receive their mats in August 2015.
Thomas and Choorapuzha are "pretty confident" that the Kickstarter goal of $20,000 for the Gurus cork yoga mat will be met. But even if the crowdfunding target is not met, "we will most likely end up producing it in some form," Thomas says.
"We think it's an amazing product, and there is a market need from consumers and studios."
Thomas, who grew up in Tampa, has worked in finance in the Philippines and with a civic venture capital fund in New York City. He attended the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill before working as an investment banker for Bank of America, where he met Choorapuzha.
Choorapuzha, an MBA student at the University of Pennsylvania, grew up in Pittsburgh, PA before attending Columbia University. Prior to cofounding Gurus, Choorapuzha worked with an investment fund in NYC.
Along with CEO Thomas and president Choorapuzha, Gurus employs six independent sales representatives and a distributor in Australia and Canada. The company plans to hire another employee in the field of marketing or design, and is seeking interns in Tampa beginning in summer 2015.
"As our company grows, it will be great to build a larger team locally to support that growth," Thomas says.

Hillsborough teacher wins national award for student achievements
Tuesday, May 19, 2015
Last year Hillsborough County Public Schools piloted a new way to engage middle school students struggling with math through a dynamic intervention system designed by Scholastic called MATH 180™ -- complete with videos and computer lessons.
This school year, the program was available to eligible sixth graders throughout the county and is being used in all 50 states by 400 districts. A Tampa educator using the program, Joel Leventhal of
Webb Middle School
, stood out nationally and was the sole winner of
Scholastic's Math 180 Educator Award for 2015
Margery Mayer, President of
Scholastic Educational Technology and Services
, says Leventhal won for "harnessing the power of the MATH 180 to rebuild his students confidence in math and accelerate them toward algebra-readiness," and that he "empowers his students to take risks, embrace a growth mindset about their intelligence and guides them toward understanding, fluency and mastery."
"I feel really fortunate," says Leventhal who received $1,200 in prize money and will also be flown to Atlanta for Model Schools Conference in late June. "I tried to build a classroom where kids aren't afraid to take risks and they really bought into it. I think the kids are really making me look good!" He also credits his math coaches and Webb principal, Frank Diaz, who he says has been "extremely supportive."
Leventhal says the curriculum provides intensive support and is geared toward kids who have struggled with math throughout elementary school. He is impressed with the Math 180 program and says it clearly illustrates through videos and other exercises "how math is important in their daily lives and real world scenarios." He cites a video in the program that shows the example of a global soap delivery project for Africa -- "it showed division in real life," said Leventhal. "How many boxes could fit in a package?"
Half of the work is done on the computer, which Leventhal says provides "a lot of encouragement and positivity," is something the kids enjoy, and allows them to work at their own pace. The rest is work in the classroom, together, supported by a workbook.
The students take benchmark and progress tests throughout the year. By midyear, Leventhal's students had already achieved 70 percent of what they needed for the entire year -- well ahead of schedule.
Leventhal has a degree in exceptional student education from the
University of South Florida
. This is Leventhal's first year teaching math and first year at Webb, having taught science for the three years prior at
Buchanan Middle School
. In addition to regular math and PE classes, he teaches a total 90 Math 180 students, divided by four classes. You do the math.
$1.1M grant boosts employment services at Helen Gordon Davis Centre for Women in Tampa
Tuesday, May 12, 2015
The Helen Gordon Davis Centre for Women has championed employment service efforts in the Tampa community for nearly four decades. In May 2015, the Centre announced that a new $1.137 million grant from the
Florida Department of Economic Opportunity
will help to substantially expand its Employment Services Program.
Grant funding will enable the
to broaden employment programs in Hillsborough County, and executive director Ann W. Madsen says that the Centre might provide future services in Pinellas County, as well.
The new grant will be dispersed to the nonprofit organization over a five-year period, and will help to fund training and placement programs for men and women the Centre identifies as displaced homemakers.
The programs at the Centre are distinct from more general training and job search programs, Madsen explains in a news release, because their primary goal is to "assist women and men in their efforts to achieve lasting economic self-sufficiency. The program helps them to focus on careers that can provide a realistic, livable income for families."
The JobSync program
provides displaced homemakers with one-on-one counseling to help individuals address emotional issues before seeking employment and to develop career plans. It also provides resources to help individuals learn to navigate job applications, computer training, interview techniques and other skills essential to transitioning into a new role -– and economic stability -- successfully.
JobSync aims to "help people, both men and women, to get connected to the right job," says Madsen.
The original profile of a displaced homemaker when the Centre first began offering services in the late 1970s was "a woman in her mid-thirties or older who had lost her source of income due to divorce, separation, death, disability or unemployment," explains Alice Thompson, director of the Centre's Employment Services Program.
Today, Thompson says, "there are many types of individuals and situations that would qualify."
Now, the displaced homemaker program provides services for both men and women, as long as they meet certain criteria: ages 35 or older; have relied on federal aid or unemployment; are not employed (to learn more about The Centre's Displaced Homemakers Program and how to qualify,
email Alice Thompson
or call 813-251-8437.
"Helping displaced homemakers has been one of our core programs," Madsen says. "Through the years, the Displaced Homemakers Program has provided the opportunity for hundreds of people in our community to lead financially independent lives and find careers that truly support their families."
The Centre for Women provides many programs and services that help local women and men, including workforce development, entrepreneurial and employment strategies, individual and family counseling, substance abuse treatment and services for girls and senior citizens.

Looking forward to working on this."
"The Springtime Lace Afghan Pattern is so cute. It will make a great baby blanket for that special baby. This could be made in many different colors that will really be pretty. The pattern reads really easy and a beginner could do this.I am looking forward to to this project in the very near future."
"he Cape Cod Afghan is really a cute pattern. It would be a great one for beginners. The pattern only calls for two skeins of yarn. The pattern reads really easy. This could also be used as a baby blanket and would look great in one of those baby colors. This is one pattern that I will definitely save for a later project down the road."

- Abstract:
- »Arbeitsidentität und widersprüchliche Erfahrungen in der Lebensgeschichte von Sozialarbeiter/innen und Krankenschwestern«. Transformation of the welfare sectors challenge professional identities of care and welfare workers in Scandinavia. At the same time welfare and care workers take part in these changes and are changed in the psycho-social setting of the workplace. This article presents research about care work in Denmark with a focus on subjective processing of work identity, applying a psycho-societal theoretical and methodical approach. A life historical and experiential understanding of Alfred Lorenzer's cultural theory is applied to understand societal transformations, here in the work place and of professionals in relation to their present scene of work and in relation to their life history. Two concepts are applied, interaction form and scenic understanding, because of their potentials for analyzing workers' experience. The analysis is based on a combined ethnographic and life historical investigation in nursing and involves a young nurse in scenes of the hospital, where gendered life history is re-enacted and present in a gendered work life with fragile possibilities of identification. Social dynamics interact with subjective dynamics in ways that illuminate not only habitual and creative orientations and practices of professionals in care, but also the contradictory transformations of the work, e.g. marketization and democratization in the work place.

Separate names with a comma.
Discussion in '2005 Archive' started by jacob62, May 13, 2005.
Why is it in most cities,there are black churches and there are white churches?
Because worship styles differ between black and whites.
Because blacks and whites have different things to deal with and be addressed for their spiritual growth.
On and on.
mareese, I'm curious if you can tell if you have a mixture of white and black members in your Church. I have not been to a Church where whites and blacks co-exist in the same congregation.
It's hard to find a black church here. I have never seen one. We do have some ethnic churches--Chinese, Korean, East Indian, etc. But then we have some of the same peoples in our own church--black, Philippinos, East Indian, Korean, Aboriganal, and others. Though the cultures of the peoples attending are very different, it doesn't stop us from worshipping one with another. The basis of our fellowship is: 1. Christ, and 2. doctrine.
No. We are very small and there are not many blacks in this area.
Despite the small size there are a number of races represented.
I did attend a church in the past where there were blacks and whites, although it was predominantly white, and if I have it right the assistant pastor they hired recently is black.
The only black/white together in church problem I've ever had anything to do with personally was a white female friend who attended a black church as she was dating one of their members. People made it obvious that they thought the relationship was wrong and they didn't want her around. She didn't stay, with either.
The churches in Australia are multi cultural, I think its great, I suppose if there was a large group of Greeks in one area, the local church might be represented that way, but I am sure there would still be non greeks there.
I thought it was interesting what you stated about the relationship of a white female with a black member. So now my question is it wrong to have interracial relationships after all Moses did marry Zipporah.
No it is not wrong, the only unequal yoking is between a beliver and a non believer, if God gives a man a wife of a different race, yet she loves the Lord, that man has recieved the greatest blessing that God can give a man.
It is indeed sad that one of the most segrated places in America today is the church.
Thankfully, there are a lot of churches in our area that represent the diversity of our community. My own church has a nice mix of Anglos, Hispanics, and Blacks (which includes African Americans, Jamaicans, etc.).
One of the key ways to have a diverse church is to have a church staff that represents the community as well. However, I think that this is even more of a rarity than a diverse church.
I don't believe it's wrong, and don't believe there is anything in scripture that tells us it is.
A mixed marriage often brings in some unique situations that other marriages don't have to deal with. Many of those problems can be intensified by the prejudice people may face, especially in certain areas. Any couple should take those into consideration and be prepared for them. It's easy to say that love can overcome it all, but preparation sure makes it easier.
I would feel very uncomfortable to be excluded from worship on account of skin colour or cultural background. Does this mean that a man of Hebrew/Jewish ethnicity would be given the cold shoulder in the USA or his mates because they were rough looking in their work gear.....
Oh my.....
Generally speaking, no. Any type of prejudice can depend on where you are and is subject to change in intensity even from church to church.
I think a lot of the separation in churches based on race and culture is just that though. There are so many language and cultural differences, and any human tends to feel more comfortable speaking and hearing his own language or dialect and being taught how to deal with issues that can be relevent to his specific culture. You can have one city and have subsections where one part has been settled into by those from China, or those from Germany, or those from Italy. That Christians in each section would attend a church that relates to them really can't be considered prejudice until the church becomes unaccepting of any others.
Good response Mareese, and I agree up to a point. There are a huge number of advantages in multiculturalism and of course there is a down side which is ghettoing of subgroups which I am very anti. Naturally there will be associations for folk to get together in a social context, however people migrating to a new place should ber ACTIVELY DISCOURAGED in bringing their prejudices from their old home, this is not easy.
Welcome to Australia or USA or whever but leave behind the bad stuff you left in your old home country. Governments need to underscore this by language courses, particularly for those usually women confined to home because of small children etc.
I know churches in my city will often have Cantonese services for Lutheran members but all come together for fetes, songfests etc. to cite one example- welcome to Oz but we want you to become Ozzies. Being RC myself the Mass that I attend is in Latin so there is no need for vulgate services......one of the major advantages in retaining Latin I feel.

Reinforced Input Housing Kit with Heavy Duty Input Shaft
Part No.
OE Part No: 24230653, 24230654
- Input Housing with 300mm Input Shaft Assembly
- Input Drum Reinforcement Sleeve Installed
- Overrun Piston
- Overrun Piston Inner Seal
- Overrun Piston Outer Seal
Fits 300mm reluctor style units only.
Sonnax reinforced OE input housing and heavy-duty input shaft kit 77733-15K is a great upgrade for 4L60-E, 4L65-E and 4L70-E high performance and heavy-duty applications. Shaft is made of specially heat-treated steel with very hard outer layers and a more ductile inner core for strength and resistance to fracture. Feed holes are chamfered to reduce stress and the shaft is further processed by shot peening and deep cryogenic treatment.
The high-strength 300mm non-reluctor style input shaft and OE housing comes with a reinforcement sleeve installed on the housing to strengthen the aluminum splines, which are otherwise prone to cracking. This kit includes a custom-manufactured overrun piston that is designed to be used only with a stamped steel forward piston, eliminating the need to use OE cast forward piston or aftermarket billet forward piston.
For greater levels of performance, Sonnax offers a Smart-Tech® input housing kit with heavy duty input shaft, 77733-11K, that features additional input housing and 3-4 upgrades.
- All new drum and high strength shaft assembly
- 57% harder than standard OE shaft
- Compatible with stamped steel forward pistons
- Reinforced input drum
- Must be used with '97-later stamped steel forward piston. Cannot be used with '96-earlier aluminum forward piston or Sonnax billet forward piston 77764-01.
- This kit must be used with a '97-later dual-cage return spring (24206085). See instructions for details.

På Inkonst i Malmö
First artist announcement:
Holly Herndon
William Basinski
Lena Willikens
Beatrice Dillon
Ghédalia Tazartès
Moon wheel
Laurel Halo
And many more artists to follow...
For the third consecutive year, Inkonst and Inter Arts proudly presents Intonal festival in partnership with CTM and Unsound. As ever, Intonal celebrates musical expressions off the beaten track – from exciting journeys into sound to experimental club music and energetic live performances. This year, we've challenged ourselves to broaden the festival even further, both in terms of developing the actual programme and taking on the city of Malmö itself. The heart of Intonal will of course be Inkonst and IAC but we'll also branch out towards Värnhemstorget to the east and the Pildamms Park to the west, where a graceful church and a former water tower respectively will serve as temporary venues for the festival, linking old architecture with new music. Art, installations and artist talks will also constitute integral parts of the festival.
This year the line-up is more varied than ever before. Holly Herndon's hyper-intelligent yet emotive music will through Toresch and Lena Willikens encounter the rougher side of Düsseldorf. Great Britain's rising star Beatrice Dillon's dazzling rhythmical abilities and Ghédalia Tazartès' poetic patchworks will convene with the singular and beautiful resonances of Grouper's and William Basinki's. These potent meetings between different timbres, tempos and temperaments constitutes the very core of Intonal. Collaboration between different players on the alternative cultural scene, all contributing with their own unique perspectives, is the basis for the festival's very existence.
Intonal is a headstrong festival and we're picky. We're looking for performers that dare to venture beyond their own artistic limitations; that dare to be singular, subtle and sublime. We also place a lot of trust in the festival's visitors – we want them to be daring, headstrong and open to new expressions too. When we announced this year's festival we quite instantly received this comment:
Yes, was waiting so impatiently for the announcement! Never need to wait for the Lineup announcement, because it is always top notch!
In many ways, this comment captures the very spirit of Intonal: the enthusiasm, the adventurousness and the certainty that this event has the potential to be a truly great experience if we just let it in under our skin. For a growing number of music aficionados, Intonal has become a self-evident visit just because the content of the festival is never self-evident. Last weekend of April, Malmö will be occupied by a four-day regime of experimental culture, electronic music and interdisciplinary alliances. Curious? Then you're invited.
The music festival Intonal is held for the third consecutive year in Malmö, Sweden. The focus of the festival is to offer an international programme of experimental and electronic music covering a wide range of genres, subgenres and unique expressions. Besides established artists within the electronic avantgarde and acts bordering towards sound art, a hefty club oriented programme will also present DJs acting within an innovative new scene for dance music. Parallel to this there will also be a number of installation exhibitions and artist talks. Out of tradition from previous years, a handful of events on the programme will be open to the public and free of entrance. As a teaser before the main festival, this year will also see an Intonal Preparty held on the 18th of March featuring a live-set by rRoxymore - one of the highlights from last years festival.
Intonal is presented by Inkonst in collaboration with Inter Arts Center, CTM, Unsound, EMS, Kontra-Musik, Fasaan Recordings, Goethe Institut and Polska Institutet with support by Musikverket, Malmö stad, Sparbanksstiftelsen och Region Skåne.
