We're celebrating 25 Alumni to Watch
Trailblazers. Altruists. Luminaries. Cosmopolitans.
For Gustavson's 25th birthday, we're shining the spotlight on alumni who embody our School's spirit of seeing things differently. Our alumni are adventurous and innovative, have a global mindset and embrace the triple bottom line. Their unique blend of business acumen and creativity makes our alumni ones to watch.
Articles profiling the 25 Alumni to Watch are excerpted from the 2015 Spring/Summer issue of Business Class Magazine and written by Robin Brunet, Carol Crenna, Rachel Goldsworthy, Laurie Jones, Sashie Steenstra and Elise Wren
Bennett Coles
Founder, Promontory Press
Apparently, I'm a risktaker," says Bennett Coles. This naval officer turned author and CEO/publisher is changing the architecture of the publishing industry, one book at a time. He started Promontory Press, a publishing house committed to supporting new authors. The company was born out of necessity—to get his own novel Virtues of War to market after some cold rejections from literary agents. By becoming a publisher and producing the book under his own imprint, he was able to receive full royalties, control the look of the final product and resonate with his target market. Coles' international success has now allowed him to extend this model to fellow authors. Promontory Press, a hybrid between traditional and self-publishing, seeks out new, unknown and niche authors to publish. Coles says that to effect change, you have to play by the traditional rules, but then take risks within those rules. He advises, "If you want to change minds, you need to know what those minds are already thinking and speak in their terms, making change enticing." -EW
Andrew Hall
Co-founder, Mealshare
BCom '11
Derek Juno
VP Business Development, Mealshare
BCom '11
We're the TOMS shoes of food," jokes Andrew Hall with Derek Juno. "Mealshare was more about seeing an opportunity than seeing a classic entrepreneurial problem." The social venture, co-founded by Hall and Jeremy Bryant, is a "buy one, give one hunger relief program" leveraging on the eight million people who dine out in Canada every day. Mealshare partners with top restaurants across the country, puts its Mealshare logo beside menu items, and if the customer selects that item, they not only get their meal, but also provide a meal to someone in need. As a conscious choice for social dining, Mealshare acts as the broker between the restaurant and the charity. Deciding to leave a comfortable job with Deloitte, Hall encouraged Juno, his close friend from UVic, to leave his post-grad travels and join him in the venture, launched in 2013. - EW
Christian Kittleson
Assistant Deputy Minister for First Nations Negotiations
Christian Kittleson has come full circle on his career path. After being the CFO for CHC Helicopters in Australia, running the Asia/Pacific region for the world's largest helicopter company, he is back in Victoria. Now, as the province's Assistant Deputy Minister for First Nations negotiations, he has found a niche that perfectly combines all his past experiences. "My specialty had become transformative change so if an organization or an entity is looking to implement a new strategy, I've become good at driving that change," he says. "The future of First Nations rights and title will impact many generations to come. It's an exciting time." Now happily settled back in BC's capital with his young family, Kittleson is ready to apply the skills he acquired during his global career to work toward solutions to some of British Columbia's most challenging issues. -LJ
Greg Smith
CEO, Anthem United Inc.
BCom '00
After chartered accountant Greg Smith joined the mining industry in 2000 because it was "full of cool people flying around the world," he quickly racked up a startling list of achievements as an executive and then director of various mining companies. Smith's achievements include raising more than $400 million in debt and equity financing, closing over $1.6 billion in mining mergers and acquisitions, and co-founding Anthem United Inc. in 2013, now worth $27-million. Smith is also co-founder of the Vancouver-based Young Mining Professionals (YMP)—a non-profit association of mining professionals who share the goal of advancing the global profile and leadership of the Vancouver-based mining and exploration industry. Smith remarks, "YMP is a forum in which industry veterans are invited to share their insight and experience with our members. This can be a tough industry and these guys have seen it all; the knowledge transfer is invaluable, but the confidence boost is equally important." -RB
Michael Smith
Founder, Whistler Skydiving; Director of Finance, Mark Anthony Group
BCom '03
Michael Smith has turned his passion for skydiving and beer into a career and family business. After graduating, Smith went to work for KPMG. After six years with the company, Smith decided to prepare a list of industries where he could apply his skills. "Beer came first because I thought it would be fun," he laughs. Smith joined Granville Island Brewing as finance manager and helped grow the business by 50 percent. Today, as director of finance for Mark Anthony Group, he is growing business for Turning Point Brewery. As for skydiving, he was bitten by the bug as an international co-op student in Switzerland, and this eventually led him to co-found Whistler Skydiving. Smith stresses that his international travels facilitated by Gustavson were invaluable. "I became proficient in a remarkable sport, plus I was first exposed to accounting while working in Norway for Deloitte & Touche," he says. -RB
Michaela Tokarski
Founder, Creekside Communications; Co-Founder, Coastal Contacts
As the youngest in a family that includes four brothers, Ontario-raised Michaela Tokarski sought a venue of higher education that would stoke her entrepreneurial aspirations. She found it at the Gustavson School of Business, where she graduated in 2001 at age 24. "Its entrepreneurship model was uncommon and enabled me to see all sorts of career opportunities," she says. While still in school she co-founded Coastal Contacts Inc. with her brother Roger Hardy; last year it was sold to Essilor International for $435 million. In 2009, having returned to Ontario, Tokarski launched Creekside Communications, a highly regarded Internet marketing firm whose revenue she aims to double this year. Aside from gaining technical aptitude, Tokarski credits Gustavson professors for encouraging her to spread her wings. "One of them, Eric Morris, convinced me to take risks, and shortly afterwards Roger and I launched Coastal Contacts," she says. "Who knows where I would be today without that kind of support?" -RB
Sybil Verch
SVP, Western Regional Manager for Raymond James Ltd.
BCom '97
The only things Sybil Verch wassure of when attending the Gustavson School of Business were that she had a head for numbers, a talent for problem-solving, a way with people, and a desire to control her own future. Today, as Senior VP, Western Regional Manager for Raymond James Ltd., Verch is widely respected for getting things done. While acknowledging that the landscape has improved from her early career days, Verch encourages fledgling female entrepreneurs to "be authentic to yourself, determine your own strengths and capitalize on them—and then never deviate from your course. It's the best way to succeed, as long as you don't do so at someone else's expense." Verch, whose Raymond James Network for Women Advisors 2013 Women of Distinction Award is one of many accolades she's earned over the years, will continue to dispense financial (and leadership) advice via a book currently in the publishing stages and a new television series, The Wealthy Life with Sybil Verch, premiering this fall on CHEK. -RB
Paul Chaddock
Vice President/CFO/Partner, Finest at Sea
Paul Chaddock makes it easy for his Finest at Sea employees to do good work, like when they organize Victoria's annual Fresh Herring Sale fundraiser for Fishermen Helping Kids with Cancer.
• 2014 was the third year Chaddock and the crew got aboard for the fundraiser.
• 20 Finest at Sea staff in Victoria and more in Richmond gave their time.
• The one-day fundraiser in Victoria and Richmond in December 2014 netted almost $70,000!
Every cent raised at these events supports kids with cancer at BC Children's Hospital. "How can you not be moved and awestruck," asks Chaddock, "knowing that you've been part of a team who've contributed in some small but very meaningful way to a child and their family, battling cancer. "The volunteers get so excited that they don't leave when their shift is over. To me, that embodies the spirit of the event." To the kids receiving treatment at Children's, Chaddock and his team embody the spirit of care. -RG
Jeffrey Harris
Global Alliance Director, Oracle Corporation
With more than 18 years of senior management consulting experience, Jeffrey Harris helps maintain and expand the capabilities of PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC), one of Oracle's strategic partners. Downtime for him is no less prolific: as vice-chair of the Melanoma Research Foundation (MRF), Harris has lobbied on Capitol Hill with the US Congress and Senate. "I use my business skills to help advance the organization's mission and profile," he says. "It's important to me; I'm inspired by a friend who had melanoma." The lobbying has contributed to the MRF raising more than $125 million in the past five years—$50 million this year alone. With a home base in San Jose, California, Harris, 45, may seem far removed from the Gustavson School of Business, "But I wouldn't be here without the experience I gained at Gustavson," he says. "My background in entrepreneurship and international business coupled with the program's emphasis on developing students who are comfortable working in a variety of situations, locations and circumstances serve me to this day." -RB
Tim Morris
Independent Consultant
Tim Morris' career has spanned international boundaries from Australia to Canada, to Africa and beyond—utilising his UVic MBA throughout the journey. After success with KPMG he began working with World Vision, combining scientific know-how with business acumen to deliver land restoration, agriculture and renewable energy projects. "I was able to bring a venture-based approach to international development," he says. "We switched traditional welfare recipients into venture participants, promoting increased partnering and community income generation. For my team, it was the difference between giving a hand-up, as opposed to a hand-out." Having recently left World Vision after establishing a number of notable achievements with associated honours—including the 1st Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) Afforestation/Reforestation project to generate carbon credits and revenue for community cooperatives on the African continent and the 1st Clean Development Mechanism (CDM)/UNFCCC Energy Efficient Stoves Program of Activities established in Ethiopia—Morris has started independently consulting to organizations that fund international development. "To work with some of the poorest people in the world, towards a more sustainable future, has been a truly humbling experience. Unfortunately, increased risk in vulnerable regions could undermine ongoing economic development and this is something I now wish to turn my attention towards." -LJ
Chantal Schauch
Consultant, Junxion Strategy
BCom '03
Chantal Schauch advises leaders of mission-driven businesses and non-profit organizations across North America on business, brand and marketing strategy. She also coaches entrepreneurs and project leaders on how to run successful crowdfunding campaigns. For more than 10 years, Mike Schauch has held leadership positions in the investment and wealth management industry. With his passion for speaking and story sharing, Mike has delivered leadership keynotes to more than 1,000 post-secondary students at major universities in North America.
Together, Mike and Chantal have guided individuals and teams around the world in running, climbing, and adventure campaigns for charity. They've led charity climbs and expeditions, and produced and directed two documentary films, Colours of Edziza (2015) and Beyond the Gates of Phu (2012), both official selections in several international film festivals.
Their passion for adventure and mountains takes them to remote communities and mountain ranges around the world. Together they support the learning and health of several students of SMD School for Himalayan Children in Kathmandu, Nepal. The couple, currently building an environmentally responsible home in Squamish, BC, move seamlessly between their professional and personal lives. Their values drive their professional work, their community projects help them grow, and their outdoor adventures energize and bring meaning to it all. "It's all integrated in who I am and what I love to do," says Chantal. "We address our values with every action we take," says Mike. And they hope that those actions inspire other people to make better choices for themselves and their communities—wherever they live, work and learn in the world. -RG

Janet Bonaguro
Founder, Thinkspace Performance
Some women don't dream about success, they work for it. Janet Bonaguro has worked with more than 150 organizations in the US, UK and Canada in her 20 years in business consulting. She founded Thinkspace Performance in Vancouver in 2011 to improve small businesses. With a network of 20 consultants, Thinkspace focuses on the factors Bonaguro feels have the most impact on business success: interpersonal and communication skills. She also educates adult students at BCIT and mentors other consultants.
When it comes to business advice, Bonaguro has the following tips:
• Recognize what you don't know; don't rely on what you think you do know.
• Your network holds far more knowledge than you ever will, find out what they know.
• An ability to communicate clearly and influence others is a greater predictor of success than knowledge.
• It isn't about who you know as much as about what the people that you know think of you.
• Pick up the phone! Email and text don't create relationships.
• Pay attention to how others react when you communicate. Consider the frame of reference of the other individual and adapt your style to them.
• Ask really good questions; then shut up and listen! -CC
Founder, Early Entrepreneurs
BCom '13
Kim Cope, 23, launched Early Entrepreneurs right out of B-School, igniting innovation among elementary and high-school students, teaching entrepreneurship through experiential learning (and even offering micro-loans to get the kids' start-ups going). Cope says she's learned more about life and business in the last year than ever before. We wanted to know: What have these early entrepreneurs taught her about entrepreneurship?
Let go of doubt. "The younger the student the more positive and ambitious they are. They never second guess themselves and that's why most of our student start-ups are successful."
Keep things simple. "It always amazes me how much we as adults over-analyze everything when students always manage to keep it black and white."
Don't let anyone tell you it's a bad idea. "A student once wanted to sell duct tape wallets and all his classmates told him it was a bad idea and that no-one would buy them. He stuck to it and made them at home anyway. When he brought them on the day of their market sale he sold every single one and all the other students apologized for not taking his idea seriously."
Others can help you identify your abilities and strengths. "When brainstorming, there's a section in the curriculum that asks students to reflect on their own skill set to help them come up with ideas. Every time I teach it, it's wonderful to see students be the first to point out positive skills their peers have." -EW
Jill Earthy
Director, BC & Yukon, Futurpreneur Canada
"I like to build things." Jill Earthy has always had an appetite for small business. After building two successful start-ups, Earthy decided to channel her entrepreneurial spirit into helping others. At Futurpreneur, she now aids young entrepreneurs, aged 18-39, to start businesses. Through mentorship and micro-financing, these young entrepreneurs have a 94% national success rate measured by payback of loans. "This past year, we funded 995 businesses in Canada, with 130 of those in BC." Earthy connects entrepreneurial success to interactive mentorship. "As entrepreneurs, we do have to ask for help and reach a hand forward, but just as importantly, whatever stage of career we're at we have to reach that hand back and make sure that we're continuing to support people who are coming up behind us."
Entrepreneurial Toolbox – Jill's Top Tips for Successful Start-ups
You don't have to do it all. We can't be good at everything. Identify your strengths and your weaknesses, and hire or ask for help in the areas where you need it. Find a mentor. Having someone who can ask you the tough questions on a regular basis and support you is an invaluable resource. -EW
Maya Kanigan
President & Founder, Women in Leadership Foundation
BCom '00
Maya Kanigan found her life's work after she launched the Women in Leadership Foundation in 2001. With the help of her business partner, the Foundation is changing the landscape for women who see themselves in leadership positions. "Our Foundation works with companies that want to see more women in senior positions," she says. "We also have executive search firms wanting to know how they can partner with us." The Foundation has seven chapters across Canada with a diverse group of women between the ages of 25 to 45 as its primary audience. "Our youngest volunteer in our chapter executive is 16 and has committed to help with the launch of our newest program, She Can Be, aimed at empowering adolescent girls." Kanigan emphasizes the importance of volunteer work for women who want to advance their careers. "Volunteering in an industry they are passionate about builds new skills and introduces them to a network of decision makers." -LJ
Paul King
Account Executive (Fuels and Lubricants), Imperial Oil Ltd.
BCom '12
Innovative and creative thinking marks Paul King's career. In his co-op job application for MusicFest Vancouver in 2009, King mailed a pair of socks adding the caption: "I am going to knock your socks off, so here's a pair when you lose yours!" For his second interview for a co-op work term at L'Oréal in Montreal, King flew out on his own dime to meet with the recruiters in person. He later discovered they had the offer on the table during the interview!
King signed on with Imperial Oil following his last work term at the company. Since then, he continues to use creativity and ingenuity, winning several multi-million dollar contracts in his current role and winning the global Mobil Excellence Award in 2014 with ExxonMobil. Asked to share his winning advice, he notes: "Socks only work once or twice, at least in a B2B setting. Buyers, interviewers, teammates, and whomever else you need to 'win' over to your side are informed individuals. Be relevant with insights and fresh ideas that address their explicit needs. What can you provide that will make them more successful? How are you affecting their (triple) bottom line? Make yourself indispensable and you'll win every time." -SS
Jennifer MacKenzie
Chief Operating Officer, Richmond Health Care
As COO for the Richmond Community of Care (part of Vancouver Coastal Health), Jennifer MacKenzie intends to build on the gains she's made in her career to improve the sustainability of the publicly funded health-care system. "The strategies we've developed include streamlining care and services, and shifting the focus from hospital to homebased care," she says. Enacting these strategies takes time, and MacKenzie acknowledges that it will be a challenge. "But at least we have a clear picture of where we want to be a decade from now." MacKenzie is well-suited to the task: she entered the health care profession as an occupational therapist in the US, and obtaining her MBA from UVic facilitated her shift into management. As COO, she leads a 1,600-strong staff, overseeing health care services to 207,000 people in Richmond—one of the fastest growing cities in BC. -RB
Wyle Baoween
Project Manager, Business Solutions and Technology, Seaspan ULC
Wyle Baoween's life is characterized by change. He grew up in Yemen and then travelled to Jordan where he earned an engineering degree. After working in construction in Europe and Asia for a few years, he became intrigued by the business side of the industry and was determined to broaden his education. Completing an MBA at UVic was his next big achievement. "I love the Canadian values and work environment so I was pleased to get an internship with Seaspan where I worked with people at all levels of the company," says Baoween. "When that was through, they offered me a full-time job in Vancouver as a project manager." His position requires he work with international vendors so he truly knows what it means to lead with a global mindset. "At Seaspan we have a diverse, international team and to achieve results I get a chance to do business around the world, right from home." -LJ
Shelby Hejjas
Manager of Business Development and Partnerships, CLIO
BCom '10, MGB '12
Shelby Hejjas, 26, is living her dream job with Clio—a rapidly expanding international company focused on cloud-based legal practice management. Her global travel during her studies set the stage for an exciting career. "My undergrad in international business required that I travel to Bangkok, Thailand for one semester," she says. "It was a huge culture shock but I fell in love with the country and was hooked on the international aspect of business and commerce." Hejjas decided to take the MGB program and did one semester in Taiwan and another in Austria. To complete her degree, she did a six-month internship in Germany. "I work on special projects at Clio that are often uncharted territory for our company," she says. "Having international experience helps me to thrive with the unknown and to be flexible and agile in rapidly changing environments." -RJ
Goldie Luong
Director of Special Projects, Vancouver Coastal Health
Goldie Luong is a shining example of someone visualizing what they want in life and achieving it. After years of success at Vancouver Island Health Authority, she is now the director of special projects with Vancouver Coastal Health. "My team and I won the Top Innovation Health Employees Association of BC (HEABC) award in 2014 for a project in infection reduction at Vancouver General Hospital," says Luong. "We have reduced the cases of C-difficile by over 30 per cent, saving approximately 816 hospital days. I believe that team collaboration is the core to the program's success." Luong travelled to Sweden in 2013, representing the Emerging Health Leader of the Canadian College of Health Leaders. "One of the key things I learned and am now incorporating into the work environment is optimizing efficiency while maintaining work/ life balance. It is great for staff morale." Trips to London and Singapore to observe health-care systems have added depth to her international mindset. -LJ
Daniel McCombe
Global Subsidiaries Controller, Airbus Group
BCom '10, MGB '11
Daniel McCombe's inspiring career as an executiveat international aeronautics giant Airbus Group began two years ago, at age 24. After playing an integral role in establishing the company's presence in India, McCombe is now the Global Subsidiaries Controller of Airbus Defence and Space Division, based in Munich. He "provides financial expertise to support global industrialization strategies and better manage subsidiary companies, and executes market-based transactions such as mergers, acquisitions and divestments." Shortly after moving to India, McCombe launched the award-winning enLIGHT corporate citizenship project with Airbus volunteers that empowered 400 to 500 slum residents by providing access to decentralized solar energy and an education centre—all in the backyard of the Airbus offices in Bangalore.
Daniela Vcislo
Team Assistant, Safeguards at the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA)
The truly cosmopolitan Daniela Vcislo boldly goes where few women have gone. Currently based in Vienna, Austria, Vcislo is team assistant of Safeguards at IAEA. This UN agency works globally with inspectors to ensure nuclear materials are used for peaceful purposes. There, Vcislo "writes numerous international, diplomatic, technical documents of a sensitive nature daily."She previously worked at theCanadian embassy in Beijing, within International Business Development and received a leadership award from Prime Minister Stephen Harper (see below) as a result of a charitable campaign she co-chaired there.
Vcislo's career tips
• Her UVic MBA, international study experience, and previous work abroad all prepared her for a global career.
• To achieve objectives she often has to reframe situations through different lenses. "I consider the perspectives of the international inspectors, member state officials, and multicultural workplaces, all with different personal styles, cultures and languages."
• Cultural knowledge is key, she advises. "Learn about every culture you're exposed to: ask how to say hello in their language and always greet them with that." -CC
Jane Zhu
Owner, Dragon Pass
Soon after Jane Zhu graduated with an MBA specializing in entrepreneurship, she returned to her birthplace of China and launched DragonPass—and the rest is history. DragonPass is the first travel service of its type in China. With seven million members enjoying access to VIP lounges, offices, spas and restaurants in airports across China and in Europe, it's also well on its way to becoming the world's favourite airport services provider. Guangzhou-based Zhu intends to grow membership to 10 million within two years; all this because she realized when attending Gustavson that she "didn't want to be just a manager, I wanted to be an entrepreneur. In addition to business skills, I learned how to make smart decisions and honed my communication skills with students from different countries." Zhu serves on the Gustavson School of Business International Advisory Board to help raise her alma mater's international profile. She says, "I got so much from the school that there's no question I want to give back." -RB

Journey over, flight now landed
But suffering time now expanded
2 long queues at border control
Dampens the travel-weary soul
1 snaking line offers human touch
A seductive other, technology's clutch
Gambling then on which is faster
Digital must surely be the master
Opting then for e-passport control
Down Alice's Wonderland rabbit hole
The Mad Tea Party made more sense
Even the saintly were growing tense
As more passengers joined the crowd
Government posters declare they're proud
But constipation struck the tortuous queue
Technology's false profit[phet] making tempers stew
And the queue got longer.
The border officer with a rictus smile
Forced calm in voice; walks the aisle
"It's really easy"; he demos the art
"Passport face downwards, show this part
Now step through the gate and face the glass
Facial recognition will let you pass"
But computer doesn't know you, or is way too slow
Crowd grows more restless, no sense of flow
One poor innocent chap could not get out
Confusion on face, what's this about?
"What's the point of all this?" One woman protested
Filled with rage at tax millions invested
A functionary jotted some comments down
But auto-bureaucracy still wore the crown
And the queue got longer.
The officer gave up and guides some up the line
For real people to process which suited us fine
Meanwhile, the other queue had shrunk to nil
But at e-passport control? They are there still.
[To listen to this verse select below]
UK Governments of whatever political hue have a very poor record when it comes to commissioning and implementing major IT projects. The siren voices of the big IT companies salesmen have obviously been at work again with the ongoing attempts to automate border controls at UK airports. Theoretically, a digital passport (alias biometric or e-passport) should speed up the flow of UK citizens returning from other countries, but my experience at Gatwick Airport on 3 December 2015 is reflected in the above poem.
On a previous journey I returned via Heathrow Airport and was was treated to the dubious pleasure of an iris scan – a technological solution that has now been abandoned. This raises a question, however. Whatever, happened to that data? In the deep (or shallow) recesses of the UK's GCHQ are a few bytes of storage allocated to my humble iris? Has my iris been shared with 'friendly' other governments? Could my iris ever be misused? Come to think of it the Malaysian government took my electronic fingerprints when I entered that country last year. I shudder to think what could happen if my iris and fingerprint bytes ever got together.
But back to Gatwick.
As I waited in the growing queue at Gatwick, I couldn't help reflecting that a human factors expert or usability specialist seems to have been lacking at the conception stage of this fiasco of a system. Instead of the [slow] technology being employed to process everyone at the front end of the queue the queuing time should instead become part of the automatic processing. Why should it be necessary to manually place a passport a certain way on a scanner plate when it has an NFC chip? Why do people have to enter an automatic stall before facial recognition technology can be employed when they have just spent all that time in a queuing system designed to slow people down? If the facial recognition technology is not yet mature enough to be used at a distance and be faster than a human analyst/immigration officer then don't use it.
My advice is, therefore, if you have the choice of immigration queues to join, avoid the e-passport one like the plague. Join the one with human immigration officers, even if it initially appears longer. A major proportion of the human brain is devoted to visual processing and when linked to the speed of the decision making capabilities of an immigration officer then, on current form, human processing wins hands down.

*student profiles from school year 2014-2015
Hawes Collier
When it came to summer plans, Hawes Collier made his own experiences happen. He said, "I spoke with an employee at the Hackney company and asked if they had any shadowing programs available for the summer. Everything happened from there."
This initiative led to a summer internship in engineering for Hawes, and a chance to work with various elements of the job. Hawes said, "I worked with 3D modeling software and helped design some basic things. I also helped with assembling a few products, which was fun."
Hawes explained that the internship allowed him to experience the world of engineering and set him on the path to NCSU next year. "The experience showed me what I liked to do and that I really enjoy engineering and the work environment."
Another passion for Hawes was collecting and viewing old movies. "I first got involved when my grandfather, Dempsey Hodges, left his collection to me. I have added many of my own movies to the collection since then."
Dempsey Hodges was a well known APA football coach and Board member, and his wife was an elementary teacher at the Academy. Hawes credited his grandfather with inciting his interest in WWII movies, but also enjoyed "newer" movies as well.
As for his diverse interests, Hawes said, "Engineering is a mix of creativity and logic. Movies are a creative outlet for me. Its' not such a huge leap."
Lauren Jones
Lauren Jones was most often found in the art room, working on her latest project. She said, "One of the great things about the art department at Parrott is the structure, which allows you to pursue your own ideas."
Lauren could not remember a time she had not been interested in art, but broadened her horizons after taking art classes at school. Her talents quickly became obvious to others and she was asked to sell several of her pieces that were showcased at the school art show. This led to more paying offers for Lauren's artwork, whether it be pencil drawings of a child's photograph or an acrylic painting of a landscape. Lauren said, "Drawing a child's portrait is a challenge; I like to make sure I get the details just right."
Recently, Lauren signed on to created illustrations for a children's book being written by Mrs. Moye, who said, "Lauren's talent is well known around school. She was the perfect candidate to help me with this project."
Although she was undecided about which college she would attend next year, Lauren was certain that art would be a part of her future. She said, "I've learned in my experiences at Parrott that it's OK to make mistakes. If you mess up, you just wait for the paint to dry and start over."
Brendan Kerlin
The current owner of three dogs, one cat, and an unknown amphibian that was eventually released into a lake, Brendan Kerlin was planning to follow his passion for animals with a major in veterinary medicine. "Tufts University in Boston would be my first choice of schools, but I'm still not sure where I'll be next year," he said.
Brendan began volunteering at animal shelters in Kinston and Goldsboro in ninth grade and quickly saw the problems faced by many shelters. "Lots of dogs are put down every day," he said. "There is not enough room for all the animals picked up."
Brendan was also excited about hiking, another venture he began as a freshman. Through a program called Moondance, Brendan has hiked places as far away as Spain, Switzerland, France and Italy. He said, "It gives you a great feeling of accomplishment and is a huge adrenaline rush."
Although Brendan was still unsure of where he was headed to college, he felt that his time at Parrott had prepared him well. "AP Biology helped me to realize that I enjoyed living science and that I wanted to pursue a career in that area," he said.
As for future pets, Brendan imagined owning an Irish Wolfhound. He said, "It's a dog that looks like a horse; why not?"
Kaelyn Mohrfeld
Kaelyn Mohrfeld began showing goats at the age of five and started what would become an enterprise for the whole family. "I had some friends in my community who were involved with showing animals, so I tried it and I like it. My family eventually built a barn, and we accumulated more animals over the years. The whole family is involved," she said.
Raising and training the goats took up much of Kaelyn's time after school. "I work with them about two hours every day," she said.
Prior to goat shows, the animals were given extra practice time and were washed and trimmed. Kaelyn competed in approximately ten circuit shows per year, as well as a spring livestock show, but the most important exhibition was the NC State Fair. "That's the really big event that we work for all year," she said.
With two Overall Wether Grand Champions under her belt, all the hard work seemed to pay off. Kaelyn planned to pursue an agricultural science major at NCSU, but said she would always have animals in some way or another. She said, "The best part about raising animals is being able to watch them grow and learn. I've learned the importance of being responsible for something other than myself."
Michael & Madi Finizio
Brother-sister team Michael and Madi Finizio share many of the same interests, including a love of theater and a devotion to the surrounding community. They both became devoted to the theater at an early age. "I started acting in school plays in fifth grade; Madi started in sixth grade," Michael said.
Madi said, "I have been working with the theater program since elementary school, but I have most enjoyed One Act Play competitions. Being successful there for the last few years was a lot of fun."
Working on stage presented its challenges, especially when coupled with the rigorous academic schedule of both students. Madi said, "The hardest thing for me was handling the long rehearsals and training myself not to laugh on stage."
Michael agreed that there were challenges on stage, such as wearing "guy makeup," but recalled some of his favorite characters. "The best was Dr. Cantaloupe in Goldilocks on Trial," he said.
When not busy with rehearsals, both students found time for community service. Mary's Soup Kitchen in Kinston became a favorite place to volunteer for them both. "I like to go in on Sundays and I try to help with Saturdays as well. I volunteer every day during the summer break," Michael said.
Madi was enthusiastic about service work as well, including their weekly Sunday School class for fourth graders, which the two taught in Spanish and English. She said, "Service work helped me to build people skills and to learn how to take the initiative."
Michael said, "I've learned that if you are going to do something, you need to fully commit yourself. Even on the days that you feel bad, there is probably someone else who feels worse."

|Reviews for My Envious Ways
| Sozimpicky chapter 4 . 9/25/2015
It's all really good and clear and great plot but it's not shepards warning it's Sailors warning then red sky at night shepards delight, the morning one usually means a storm is coming so the sailor won't sail. Yh that's the only fault tho the rest of it is perfect! Keep up the good work with ur other stores!
| Cherrylle chapter 9 . 9/23/2015
Yay! It was great!
| Guest chapter 3 . 10/14/2012
No more jealousy please!
| SOSO AWSOME KITTY chapter 9 . 5/29/2012
now that i read that it feels like its raining outside. even though its all clear blue.
but...i so so luved the story(&rainy days) NYA!
| ANIMEandBTS96 chapter 9 . 3/18/2011
If I were ichigo I would have been pissed at ryou because he said she was cheating on him with Masaya. I would have ran away and seen wat ryou would have done next. Stupid ryou ur supposed to let ichigo explain before u told mint that
| MetallicBlueFrog chapter 9 . 10/3/2009
Very nice! I liked it. There were several places where I laughed my butt off! Like in chapter 5 when Pudding is playing secret mission and then Masaya and Mint come by and ichigo says that she's talking to Pudding, but she's not there. That was pretty darned funny. And then chapter 6 when Ryou's getting ready for his 'date' with Ichigo and Keiichiro starts being all weird and everything. But my favorite thing that happened was chapter 3 whn Ichigo was chased by THE LITTLE OLD LADY'S GREAT DANE! Hah! Classic. Hm... I'm guessing you're not a Masaya-basher because you didn't put anything too horrible in this story. Do you just think Ryou and Ichigo should be together and not bother being mean to Masaya? Just asking and sorry if I confused you by my wording. I sorta confused myself. (How does that happen? That's me for ya.) Bye! And keep up the great work!
| MANGApunk chapter 9 . 7/18/2008
This was so good! It was probably one of my favorite stories! I love the way you portrayed Ryou's character. Please continue writing and maybe even a sequel...
| Haru Inuzuka chapter 9 . 2/4/2008
Now THAT was sweet, to be truthful, I was never that fond of Ryou and Ichigo fanfics, but now I LOVE it, so what if he's her boss? IT DOESN"T MATTER! Sorry I'll stop now sweat-drop, keep writing! Nya! -Haru
| Crazygirla101 chapter 9 . 1/11/2008

| Dark Angel chapter 9 . 4/6/2007

| wolfiegirl93 chapter 9 . 4/5/2007
It is awesome! it's sad to see it end. You know, this is my suggestion but... i really would like this to end with one last passionate kiss you know...i would go aw at that! haha!
Going to my fav list! Well DONE!

London: Ten years after being stabbed by a deranged Steffi Graf fan in Hamburg, Monica Seles has decided to spend the anniversary away from the spotlight in her home in Florida.
The attack on April 30, 1993 has gone down as one of the most shocking incidents to have taken place in a sporting arena.
Playing against Bulgarias Magdalena Maleeva in the quarter finals in Hamburg, Seles was stabbed in the back during a changeover by Guenter Parche, who wanted to see Graf reclaim the top spot in the rankings.
The image of a shocked and sobbing Seles being helped off court with a towel held against her bleeding back not only stunned a global TV audience but effectively ended the carefree days enjoyed by tennis professionals.
In a recent interview, Seles, who was world No. 1 and only 19 at the time of the attack and had won eight Grand Slam titles between 1990-93, said she still felt that not enough was being done to protect women players at tournaments.
Youre totally accessible. Theres no other sport in which youre accessible as in tennis, said the Yugoslav-born American, who spent almost two years away from tennis to recover from the attack.
In the aftermath of the incident, tournaments scrambled to increase security. While players used to sit on court with their backs to the crowd, the chairs were now turned to back the umpires chair. Security guards were placed in the area directly behind the athletes to monitor any suspicious behaviour.
Despite the measures introduced, Seles said: Its (the securitys) insufficient in a lot of ways, our accessibility to people to get us on site, in matches, after matches. Its not just me, its any of the high-profile players.
Visit any tournament, and what Seles describes still holds true. Fans can still mob players who are on their way to the courts, especially at the Grand Slam events.
During the last couple of years, there have been numerous occasions when the inadequate security arrangements have been highlighted. Serena Williams and Martina Hingis were stalked for months by men who followed them around the tennis circuit.
At last years Wimbledon, two men jumped on Centre Court to play a rally just after Seles had walked off court after her second-round victory over Rossana Neffa-De Los Rios. While it turned out the stunt was performed by two pranksters, it nevertheless brought back painful memories for Seles.
There are certain things you cannot forget. That (the stabbing) changed the course of my career, said Seles.
While Seles, who has not stepped foot in Germany since that fateful day 10 years ago, tries to deal with her emotions privately, one reminder of that frightening experience disappeared this year. After being staged for 16 years, the Hamburg tournament was wiped off the WTAs 2003 calendar. (Reuters)

Tens of thousands of migrants have arrived in Hungary – mostly from the Middle East and Africa, via Turkey and the Balkans. Serbia has reacted angrily, comparing the plans to a Nazi concentration camp. Close to 60,000 irregular migrants have entered Hungary this year – mainly from Serbia.

Currently we can choose from restrict_room_creation = true / false / local. I'd like to set it to local but also provide a way to allow another component (with JID like vk.domain.tld) create new rooms and invite users there. With "local", users at @domain.tld can create rooms, but not the transport at vk.domain.tld. Additional white list would be welcome. The thing about vk.domain.tld is that it provides group chat feature and it needs to interact with mod_muc to translate those chats into XMPP world.
Can you not just set it as an admin of the MUC service? Component "conference.domain.tld" "muc" admins = { "vk.domain.tld" } Admins should be able to bypass all restrictions.Changes
Nope, it does not seem to work.
Ah, I missed that you places admins = under Component section, let me try again.
Yes, this way it works.
Sorry, I forgot to change the resctriction back to "local". Finally, with "local" and admins set, the room is not created.
Which version of Prosody?
Prosody 0.9.4.
Well, I added firstname.lastname@example.com to admins where 12345 is my id in the social media (for which the transport is for). It works this way with "local" restriction mode, but this is not universal. Is it possible to use wildcards?

"Weather Bubbles" is an iPad app that introduces kids to the concepts of weather and seasons by way of simply popping bubbles. There are educational resources included with the app to help parents and educators guide children through the concepts while having fun. Toddlers will enjoy simply popping bubbles and older children will pick up on how the different weather elements affect the bubbles. This free app includes two activities: WEATHER TYPES - Select between a number of types of weather to see how they interact with the bubbles, all while keeping track of how many bubbles you have popped (for bragging rights, of course). SEASONS - Travel through the seasons popping bubbles, and watch how the weather changes with the seasons. The bubble counter keeps track of your progress. The fun weather characters include: • Sunny/Hot • Cloudy/Foggy • Windy • Rainy • Snowy • Stormy • Moon/Calm Evening PARENTS & EDUCATORS Make sure to view the Educational Guide that accompanies the app for tips, resources, and simplified explanations of the four physical conditions of weather, how weather types affect the bubbles, and a brief introduction to climate, seasons, ecosystems, and biomes. THE STORY BEHIND THIS APP The app was originally called "Bubbles for Dylan" and made for my 1.5 year old son who was fascinated with popping bubbles and was also learning words like "sun", "moon", "cloud", "rain" and "wind". We hope you enjoy it as much as he does. FEATURES • iPad retina ready (HD) • Real weather sounds from around the world • Teaching resources included in app website DEVICES • This app is designed for iPad 2 and above (iOS 5.1.1+). http://weatherbubbles.redevised.com http://www.redevised.com/privacy-policy http://www.redevised.com/terms

Tammy Jo O'Neal
The Trager® Approach truly is a way of life for me. It helps improve my mental & emotional health as it fuels my personal drive to maintain efficient physical mobility. Since discovering the profound benefits of Trager in 2001, not even a temporary lapse of feeling in my hands and feet have held me back from exploring the many levels of recovery Trager offers. As a performance artist, musician and athlete, I was licensed as a Massage Therapist in 1990. After a six-year pause from life as I knew it, I began using Trager to cope with MS, and completed my certification as a Trager Practitioner in 2010. Currently, I provide Trager in a collaborative setting at the Acupuncture & Healing Arts Medical Group in Memphis, TN, working also with mental health counselors in dealing with grief & trauma recovery. I experience the most joy seeing how each of us, regardless of age or circumstance, are transforming into the people we felt like when we were fresh & full of potential, or better yet, experiencing the thrill of reaching levels of comfort and freedom never before imagined possible. May the journey never end… just don't dismiss the pauses.

Northeast Trager® Region (NETA-5)
[Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Vermont]
Laura Lynn Giubardo – USTA Vice President & Trager International Council of Trustees Rep
As a Massage Therapist, body worker, hula dancer, yoga student, mother of seven and a spiritual seeker from the Church of Kindness, my journey began as a 19 year old, on the big Island of Hawaii.
I studied Lomi Lomi, shiatsu, sport massage, prenatal massage, Swedish massage, etc. My Level 1 Trager® training facilitated a transcendent experience as my diaphragm released; it enabled me to take a breath so deep that my life was transformed and has been growing and transforming ever since.
I continue to apply the principles of Trager® in my life, and the lives of my family, friends and clients. I have seen other's lives transformed by The Trager Approach. I believe in the principles that Milton Trager taught to the core of my heart, it is beyond my understanding why these principles are not taught in every school in the world.
The body is a vessel that carries the soul, moving the body to help a person realize the potential of their existence, transforming a life is powerful for all involved. I remain forever grateful to Milton Trager for the gift he has offered, allowing me to heal, and assist others in their healing.

Great Lakes Trager® Region (GLTA-10)
[Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, Minnesota, Ohio, Wisconsin]
Barbara Mason – USTA Secretary
As a former college dance teacher and choreographer, I have always been interested in how body movement can be made more efficient to allow for increased grace, fluidity, strength and freedom of motion. In 2004 I took a Somatics class at the Ohio State University, and I asked a fellow classmate who was also a Trager practitioner, to tell me about Trager. She suggested I attend an introductory class that she was teaching that weekend; and thus began my immersion into the study and practice of the Trager Approach, which was the perfect vehicle for me to continue my love of movement education. I became a practitioner in 2008 and am currently involved with a volunteer group in Columbus, Ohio called the Stone Soup Project. This group of body and energy workers offers their wellness and educational services to organizations such as retirement homes, hospital nursing staffs, veterans, and military families. I have an M.F.A. in Dance and am also certified in Laban Movement Analysis.

Irene Darpino – USTA Past President
I was introduced to TRAGER® over 30 years ago. The longer I use it for myself and others, the more I am grateful I am that it came into my life. I have seen in my clients and felt in myself profound changes for the better. Our organizational Motto: " Peace in the World – One Body at a Time" is really true. For many years I took the services that our organization provided for granted. About 7 years ago I was asked to step up to the plate and join the ranks of those who are helping our organization function. Since then I have been involved in regional, national, and international boards and activities. Being involved helped me see the many benefits we receive for our membership and how hard our staff and volunteers work to support our practitioners and clients. I have met many wonderful dedicated people and deepened my experience and appreciation of the Trager Approach. I truly believe that as more people become active in our organization, our enthusiasm and commitment will help people worldwide to enjoy the benefits of our wonderful Trager Approach!

Analysis: What happened with Yahoo! and DMARC?
Or: Why is my mailing list broken? It's all over the media, the DMARC-discuss mailing list is full of postings: Yahoo! has switched to a DMARC "p=reject" policy. This broke many mailing lists and now people are crying out in horror. DMARC is a protocol to describe policies to mitigate phishing via e-mail. Put in a nutshell it basically enforces that a message came directly from the domain shown in the From-header or was at least signed by that domain. For details and precise descriptions check out dmarc.org. And yes, I think it's a great idea. So, what did Yahoo! … Weiterlesen

John Stamos will get a little help promoting Dannon Oikos during the Super Bowl.
The cast of Full House — or at least, Dave Coulier and Bob Saget — have reunited for an ad alongside their former co-star. Dannon released a sneak peek of the commercial on Tuesday, featuring the three grown men still living together after all these years.
Which other shows should reunite?
This isn't the only TV reunion that will reportedly air during the Super Bowl, which airs Sunday, Feb. 2 on Fox. Seinfeld stars Jerry Seinfeld and Jason Alexander, along with co-creator Larry David, reportedly filmed an ad for the big game at the New York diner that Monk's is based on several weeks ago.
Check out the Full House reunion teaser below:

The Iowa Hawkeyes have filled one of their two vacant coaching positions with former Connecticut Huskies player D.J. Hernandez, reports the school's official athletic site.
Hernandez will replace David Raih — who left to join as the Texas Tech coaching staff — while the search is still on to fill the hole left by wide receivers coach Eric Campbell, who is "pursuing other opportunities."
"DJ has joined our staff as a graduate assistant, replacing David Raih," said head coach Kirk Ferentz. "DJ comes highly recommended and will work with our tight ends."
Hernandez was an offensive graduate assistant last season at Miami (Fla.), where he primarily worked with wide receivers and tight ends. He also has had short stints as the quarterbacks coach at Brown and the head coach of a Connecticut high school.
He was a quarterback and wide receiver at UConn and is the brother of New England Patriots tight end Aaron Hernandez.
The Hawkeyes' offense could use all the help it can get after an abysmal year, where it recorded just 19.3 points per game (113th in the nation) and 187.4 passing yards (102nd).
The tight end position is no exception: During the 2012 season, Iowa tight ends combined for just 499 yards two touchdown receptions — among four different players.
Hernandez will have seven tight ends to work with this off-season – one senior, one junior, three sophomores and two incoming freshmen.
Iowa begins spring practice in March and will host its annual spring game in April.

Town & Country Ford Body Shop

"John said they were excellent."
Review for Town & Country Ford Body Shop
Allison P. on 10/01/2011
Allison said she was not kept adequately informed during the repair process because she had to call the business herself. She was not satisfied with the thoroughness of the person that prepared her estimate because she paid a lot of money for her repairs and her vehicle was returned in the same condition when she got it back. The business fixed her vehicle but they did not even give her a courtesy vacuum or anything. She was not completely satisfied with the way she was treated by the personnel and she chose not to elaborate on a reason why. She was not completely satisfied with the business's communication and she would not recommend this business to others because of the reasons already stated.

I am writing some commands to delete nets and connect their instTerms to other nets. deleteNet does not always delete the net and its wires. If the net is connected to a top level port I know to use deleteModulePort - first, but if the net was connected to a lower level port in the original netlist hierarchy, how do I trace through hInst/hNet/hTerm to really delete the net and its possible hierarchical port connections? Some of my nets are busses and I'll be deleting all members of that bus. I did figure out that editDelete -net will at least get rid of my wires, but the verification guys don't like when I write a flat Verilog netlist that has wire statements for nets that no longer exist and connect to nothing.
set net [dbGet top.nets {.name == "my_net_to_delete"}]array unset busTermsforeach hNet [dbGet -e $net.hNets] { foreach hTerm [dbGet -e $hNet.hTerms] { set hInstName [dbGet $hTerm.hInst.name] if {"$hInstName" == "{}" } { set hInstName "-" } set bus [dbGet $hTerm.term.bus] if {$bus} { set busTerms($hInstName\ [dbGet $bus.basename]) 1 } else { deleteModulePort $hInstName [dbGet $hTerm.term.name] } } }foreach bus [array names busTerms] { lassign $bus inst port deleteModulePort $inst $port}array unset busTerms set bus [dbGet $net.bus] if {$bus} { deleteNet $bus.baseName } else { deleteNet $bus }This has the caveat of deleting whole buses, but you shouldn't be deleting just one net of a bus anyway. I still have cases of some nets which are hanging around, but they don't have hInst connections. They have names like a/b/c[0] but are not part of busses (dbGet $net.bus = 0x0). It's a different issue. More debugging...
Ugh, I give up. Here is an example of a net that just won't go away:

I can't figure out how to delete these nets/hNets. deleteNet doesn't do anything. I guess I don't really mind if there are floating nets in the database, but the verification guys don't like them showing up in the output verilog. Here are the partial results of saveNetlist:
/*################################################################ Generated by: Cadence Encounter 13.10-p003_1# OS: Linux x86_64(Host ID mbt02.rsint.net)# Generated on: Wed Aug 7 15:59:07 2013# Design: TOP# Command: saveNetlist -flat -excludeLeafCell -phys temp3.v################################################################*/module TOP (); // Internal wires supply1 VDDIO; supply0 UNCONNECTED29; supply0 UNCONNECTED30; supply1 VDD; supply0 VEE; supply0 VSS; ... wire \core/rst_n_sync/rst_sync[2] ; wire \core/rst_n_sync/rst_sync[1] ; wire \core/rst_n_sync/rst_sync[0] ; wire \core/rst_sync/rst_sync[2] ; wire \core/rst_sync/rst_sync[1] ; wire \core/rst_sync/rst_sync[0] ; ...endmodule
Disconnects dangling nets from ports in the whole design, from the top level to the bottom level.
BUT may not work on partialy deleted bus structures.
OR give the verification guys a "blue" pill : )

Cell Culture Supplements and Reagents
Growth media is used either for cell culture or microbiological culture. These require nutrients, supplements, buffers and other reagents specific to the product being grown to maximize results and consistency. There are two major types of growth media: those used for cell culture, which use specific cell types derived from plants or animals, and microbiological culture, which are used for growing microorganisms, such as bacteria or yeast.
The most common growth media for microorganisms are nutrient broths and agar plates; specialized media are sometimes required for microorganism and cell culture growth. Some organisms, termed fastidious organisms, require specialized environments due to complex nutritional requirements. Viruses, for example, are obligate intracellularparasites and require a growth medium composed of living cells.

Ethiopia's national languages (Amharic which is spoken throughout Ethiopia, Tigrignya, Oromiffa, Guraginya, and dozens more) are the languages of Ethiopia, with no colonial legacy or full introduction of languages with bigger international applications. Therefore, English is become the language of higher education due to the necessity of accessing a full range of international literature for higher education students and academics.
Young students who are privileged enough to learn English are usually the only ones who gain access to higher education. Therefore...
Ethiopia needs qualified and dedicated English teachers to be a part of this accelaration of quality education standards in Ethiopia. English teachers are highly needed to give our students a base in a language to allow more access to world wide information and education.
Ethiopia is not a country with an economy to support high salries for ESL teachers, when compared to Asian and other schools in other parts of the world. Although you will earn a salary, and accomodations, which are very comfortable by local standards. We are looking for bright, energetic applicants who see the opportunity to be part of an opportunity to participate in a capacity building effort to advance local education from the bottom, up.
All those interested or curious, who are Native English Speakers, with a TEFL qualification, Bachelor's or Associate's degree, or higher, and some relevant experience, please apply by first enquiring at the e-mail address given on the job heading.
