Television shows are wrapping up for winter, leaving fans wanting more and patiently awaiting their returns in the spring.
Grey's Anatomy:
Nov. 19, "Grey's Anatomy" had its winter finale with one of the season's most intense episodes. Relationships are tested, as nothing short of drama ensues. It's uncovered that the newly hired Riggs previously knew Owen, which held the majority of the spectacle for the episode.
Many expected the show to decline in content and lose viewers after the tragic death of Derek Shepard, but Season 12 has held up to the expectations the show has always had. Viewers were left with not just one, but three cliffhangers for this winter finale.
Fans now have to wait to see what happens with Jo and Alex's relationship, where April and Jackson's love will go and what will take place between Riggs and Owen.
Last Week Tonight with John Oliver:
"Last Week Tonight with John Oliver," HBO's comedy-news show, will not return until February. The British comedian's current events talk show became very popular amongst young audiences this year because of his hilarious wit and utter straightforwardness.
College-age viewers tend to agree with his ideas and find the show enjoyable, yet informative, because of it. Oliver focuses on controversial topics and brings current events to viewers in a Jon Stewart format. Not to worry. Two seasons consisting of 35 episodes are promised to viewers for the upcoming years. With the success the show has had so far, the next seasons shouldn't disappoint.
The Walking Dead:
"The Walking Dead" was one of the most awaited mid-season finales on television. Six seasons in, the show has been wildly successful and has sparked fan conversation all over social media. Fans were anticipating what dramatic twist would happen next, and they were not let down when it came to drama.
Fans took to social media to voice their opinions and those opinions differed from "love it" to "hate it," giving this finale very mixed reviews. This episode has recieved more criticism than any other episode this season, earning only a 29 percent on Rotten Tomatoes. Viewers have given the show such high expectations, and it's sometimes hard to live up to them. Hopefully fans will be pleased with what is to come after the winter break.
Dancing with the Stars:
"Dancing with the Stars" ended Season 21 with an emotional win for Bindi Irwin and her partner, Derek Hough. The 17-year-old Australian daughter of Steve Irwin took home the mirror ball trophy after a very emotional season of honoring and remembering her dad in multiple dances.
The young star captured the hearts of viewers through passion and excitement, and it was no surprise that she would take home first prize. This was also Hough's sixth win, giving him the most wins as a professional on DWTS. Coupled in the final three were Nick Carter of the Backstreet Boys with his partner Sharna Burgess and Alek Skarlatos, a Legion of Honor recipient and soldier, and his partner Lindsay Arnold. DWTS will return for Season 22, along with judge Len Goodman, who took a hiatus for a season. ◼

Corn from Tomotla
July 11, 2015
The Cherokee Herald (Murphy, N.C.) newspaper in its June 17, 1874, issue ran an advertisement that asserted, "It has been ascertained that one and half bushels of corn ground at the Tomotla Mills will last a family seven days, whereas the same amount elsewhere only last the same four days." According to the Heritage of Cherokee County, in the early 1900s, William Benton Sneed ran a gristmill in the Tomotla community. Payment for grinding corn or other grains was by a toll amounting to one-eighth of the output.
~WCU Digital Collections Travel Western North Carolina
Sounds like my kind of corn or maybe I should say my kind of mill!
p.s. The Pressley Girls will be playing this Sunday July 10 @ 2:00 p.m. in Hayesville, NC at The Festival on the Square. If you make it to the festival please say HELLO!

Ed-thank you for the great comments! Snirl is a word in my vocabulary : ) Now I need to figure out why I never had it in a test LOL : )
Hope you have a great week!
Blind Pig The Acorn
Celebrating and Preserving the
Culture of Appalachia
I wonder how it was determined the corn milled there lasted longer than corn milled elsewhere, and if it really did, I wonder why it did.
Couple of "wonders" there, just call me a "Wonderer!!!"
But I do wonder those things.
God bless.
I don't know about the mill at
Timotla, but I went with daddy to
have our corn ground sometimes. His mill was about 3 miles into the Nantahala Gorge from the Topton Bridge. I marveled at the amount of water from Rolands Creek it took to turn that big wheel. Raleigh Gregory only took a small portion for his part,
(maybe because he was friends
with daddy.)
In the late 50's, and 60's I rode
the school bus and we turned at
the lower end of Junaluska Road,
went right by John King's Mill.
This was a shortcut to school. I
think that building is still there...Ken
Wonder if the miller might have been grinding corn more suitable for livestock feed along with corn intended for human consumption. On a another topic, when my mother saw me make a face over something, she would always say, "Don't snirl your nose up at me." I hadn't thought of that in years. I found a definition in the online Merriman Webster dictionary.
A mill where I live and about the family.you might like.The girls will like the site about the the mines and the tourmaline.their are four parts Ihope you like it. http://www.palaminerals.com/sicklers4.php
It sounds as if the other mills were taking more than one-eighth toll. Sounds like Tomotla charged ,1875 bushel toll while the other mills were charging .3 bushel toll.
By the way, is snirl a word in your vocabulary? I don't recall seeing it in any of your posts and when I put it in the search box nothing came up.
Tipper, the first thing that came to my mind is, who did the ascertaining? The second thing, at my house the better a food product tastes the quicker it is used up. Maybe the Tomotla Mills stuff made even the hogs snirl up their snouts.
I knew a miller one time who would reach down every once in a while, get a handful of dirt and put it in the hopper. When I asked him why he would do such a thing, he replied "You wanted it ground didn't you? Well, this here is ground too!"
Yes, I made up that last part!
It must be true because it was "ascertained". I'd rather not think that false advertising had gotten an early start in Cherokee County. Then again, maybe the miller had some 5 loaves/2 fishes skills. Miss Cindy makes a good point; that's a whole lot of cornmeal to last only 4-7 days. Maybe the average family was vastly larger than today(like 20+ people).
Tipper--Any conjecture on why corn from the Tomotla Mill "went farther?" Maybe that miller ground, to borrow from one of the ancient Greek philosophers (or possibly the Bible), "exceeding fine."
Jim Casada
Sounds like an interesting business transaction. However, I wonder how the output can be different if the original amount starting was the same. Maybe other businesses are taking more of the haul. Hummm!
Have fun at the festival.
That's interesting. Wonder how the yield can be so different. That seems like a lot of cornmeal to use in a week. I guess cornbread really was a mainstay in the diet back then.
My grandpa ran a grist mill too, in Wayne county ky. Along with a lot of other jobs to keep he's family of 9 kids going strong. 😊

Joyce Stiles, property manager for Southside Storage in Leesburg, Fla., is planning to host a chamber of commerce business-to-business event that will introduce the community to the storage facility. Stiles is also partnering with a nearby high school to host a carwash fundraiser this spring. The facility also participated in the Florida Self Storage Association's Toys for Tots promotion during the holidays.
Another facility took advantage of the holidays to BIP. Doug Williams, an employee at Grand Slam Storage Center in St. Louis, Mo., donned a Santa suit, while co-worker Kimberly Martinez snapped photos of him posing with kids in the neighborhood. Another employee, Glynes Jordan, gave parents a facility tour, handed out coupons and registered people to win prizes in a drawing.
Something to Talk About
Using your space and facility to host special events in your community is a great way to BIP. These events allow folks to visit you for a reason that is, in some cases, completely unrelated to renting a self-storage unit. This is the ultimate in word-of-mouth advertising. First, a self-storage facility may be viewed as an unusual place to hold community events so people will surely talk about it to their friends, family and co-workers.
Also, many of your visitors likely have never even visited a self-storage facility before. If your facility is top-notch, you will fair favorably to what they imagined a storage facility would look like. This will also have them talking. Lastly, for those who have rented a storage unit before, you will likely compare favorably as well, and they will talk about it.
The point is to get the community talking about your event and, therefore, talking about you. If you do not have a large parking lot for a hot rod show, what then? Events don't need to be grandiose, but they do need to attract people. Develop community events based on the size, location and attributes of your facility.
For example, a facility with a fortress-style design sectioned off a wall and invited art students from a nearby high school to submit mural art. The students got a canvas, the wall became community art and people slowed down to look. BIP!

Columbus, OH/ Los Angeles, CA
When I first started OnePulse I promised to help the people of Malawi and I couldn't be happier to see this come true by leading this incredible group of people who shares OnePulse's vision. Working with Partners In Health has been such a great experience in the past and I am incredibly grateful to be able to support their work on a larger scale with our first international expedition.
This mission is very close to my heart as I believe that everyone should have at least their basic health needs met. I can't stand around anymore and watch people suffer and die from things that can be prevented, so here I am leaving for Malawi this summer to help bring change to the warm heart of Africa.
Please, follow us, support us, donate and become part of our journey.

OnePulse Project Coordinator/Rider
28 Years Old
Los Angeles, CA/Malaga, Spain
I was born and raised in Fuengirola, a small town in the southern coast of Spain, where I was very fortunate to have access to free healthcare. Now, living in the United States, I have experienced struggles with healthcare coverage in first hand, and I have learned to value its incredible importance. The idea of not having access to healthcare at all truly breaks my heart; This is something that nobody should go through in this day and age. I, like Partners in Health, believe that healthcare is a human right and I want to do everything that is in my power to contribute towards the goal of making this a worldwide fact. Therefore, joining OnePulse in this expedition to help Partners in Health expand healthcare outreach and eradicate preventable deaths in Malawi was a "no brainer."
Growing up, my bicycle was my only personal transportation, next to my feet. However, coming from a small town the distances I cycled were never extremely long. Cycling 45 miles a day throughout "the warm heart of Africa" will definitely be a mental and physical challenge, but a challenge that I cannot wait to embrace!
Please join me in helping improve the lives of many Malawians by donating towards my $4000 fundraising goal.

I have fallen in love with their people, culture and of course, their sunsets; There is nothing more beautiful than an African Sunset. I have also learned what I believe is the biggest lesson and that's to help one another. In the African culture everyone is your sister and brother and by joining this expedition, I am hoping to help raise not only money but as well awareness about some of the issues that people of Malawi have to face on a daily basis.
I have learned to go into my adventures with nothing more than an open heart and no expectations. Cycling is a mental and physical challenge for me. I am an Ocean person, and I spend most of my days diving, swimming, and kayaking. When this opportunity came, first I hesitated (for about 30 seconds), but what is a little sore bum in comparison to some of the challenges that the Malawians have to face? And who knows, it might even become one of my favorite things to do!
My minimum goal to fundraise is $2000, but I'll be more than happy to achieve anything above it.

Since stepping foot into my first developing country, I looked around me and saw the disparities these communities face and thought how fortunate I am to be able to see that this isn't how it should be and that I can make a difference if I make the effort. The work that One Pulse does resonates with my personal mission so greatly that I jumped at the chance to accompany them to Malawi. By participating I hope to make a positive impact on the lives of people in Malawi in any capacity that I am able.
I'm sure this will change me in ways that I can't anticipate, as every great challenge does. I hope to learn more about myself and what I am capable of, along with what I may do as a public health professional to make a larger impact in the world of global healthcare. I have no doubt that this trip and the dedicated people that I will be surrounded by will affirm my passion for future work in global health.
To be honest, I've never been much of a cyclist. I am a very active person and I love trying new things so I thought what could be better than picking up a bike and riding with some like minded people. Since beginning my training for this I find cycling to be incredibly cathartic and the time spent riding, exploring my city gives me a chance to open my mind to think about things clearly.

Through completing this ride with OnePulse, I hope to gain a better understanding of a culture and a part of the world that I have not yet been exposed to. I wish to obtain an amazing life experience while giving back to others in return, by combining my passion for adventure cycling and human compassion. I also look forward to riding my bike on another continent for the first time, as a lifetime goal of mine is to ride my bike through as many countries as I can.
I think this experience will open my eyes to what life is like outside of what I see and get exposed to every day. I always hear what it is like in other parts of the world, but to be able to see it for myself is going to be a life-changing experience. This will also be my first experience being so hands on with a nonprofit, and I feel very excited and grateful to be able to have the opportunity to give back to something bigger than myself. I think this experience will further my appreciation for the things I have in my life, such as having clean water to be able to drink daily or how fortunate I am to have access to healthcare. It will also be a great opportunity for me to truly live in the moment, being present and aware with every pedal I take while riding through a beautiful country with my new life long friends.
Cycling to me has always been a huge part of my life. Growing up my Dad was a bike sales rep for many different brands, so being on a bike became second nature at a young age. As I grew up cycling, this evolved from just being a fun thing to do with my friends or a father/son bond, to a convenient way of transportation, to later giving me the freedom to ride across the United States. The bike is a powerful thing to me; it can take an adult and make them feel like a kid all over again. For me, riding a bicycle lets me relive and remember places I've traveled to by bike in the past. It allows me to feel the same things I felt while it was happening the first time. Cycling is huge to me, and I am incredibly grateful for bringing me to where I am today.
My minimum personal fundraising goal is $4000, but anything more than that would be an even greater victory and contribution for our nonprofit partners!

At one time I thought I would join the Peace Corps, but I fell in love with my profession working with people with disabilities and realized there was a huge need here. The urge to travel and contribute my skills has never gone away, and I love that this Malawi expedition will give me the opportunity to use my body to increase awareness and funding for an organization that is SO EFFECTIVE. My skills cannot compare to what Partners in Health can do to reduce preventable deaths, but I can use my privilege and my health to fight for quality of life for others through PIH.
I am starting graduate school for Urban Education in the fall, and this will be the last big thing I am able to do before I buckle down and study. I hope to find my center through the physicality and remoteness of the trip and to reboot some of my passion for service and equity to bring to my program and my students. The amount of work that needs to go into equity in our world gets overwhelming sometimes, and being able to know we are chipping away at it and surrounding myself with others who are also dedicated helps take away some of the immensity of suffering in the world.

I'm thrilled to join OnePulse and Partners in Health on this incredible journey because, above all, I believe that healthcare is a human right. I've seen in my own life the make-or-break difference access to healthcare can make and so for the last four years, I've dedicated my life to addressing health and wellness issues by developing food connection programs for kids from Vermont to NYC.
I truly believe that to unleash humanity's full potential and save ourselves from this mess we have created, we must make sustainable healthcare (traditional medical healthcare, as well as access to healthy foods and activities) our priority. I feel so honored to have the opportunity to cycle with OnePulse to raise awareness for the incredible work PIH is doing to create sustainable, healthy communities in Malawi!
On a more personal note, I've been a commuter cyclist for most of my adult life, but rarely for more than 20 miles at a time. I look forward to the challenge involved with a long-distance bike tour (45 miles per day!), and the connections I hope to make with the people I ride with and meet along the way!
My personal fundraising goal is $5,000. Please help me by contributing what you can today!

My name is Rachel, and I am a twenty-three year old from Nashua, New Hampshire. My home now is Rome, Italy, where I live with my Italian cousins. Besides finally learning how to cook edible food (thank you, Italian family!!). I am currently teaching English and applying to graduate schools. I was fortunate to run cross country and track for my university, and I now run long-distance for fun, along with drinking espresso on my balcony (this is my favorite hobby). When I find some spare time, I also enjoy reading anything at all, studying photography, and simply being outside.
I consider it the greatest honor to join the OnePulse team this summer. I applied because I first met OnePulse in 2014 while biking across the USA with FaceAIDS and Partners in Health. I was deeply impressed by the passion and commitment of OnePulse then, and immediately knew I would love to be part of a OnePulse team if possible. I was absolutely thrilled when I got the chance to not only be part of OnePulse this year, but also to get back on my bike in support of Partners in Health's incredible work.
In 2014, I was blown away every mile of our four thousand mile journey by the kindness, generosity, and heart of the strangers we met along the way. It was both an honor and responsibility to share our goal to raise awareness of and funds for Partners in Health's HIV and AIDS research. I wanted to join the Malawi Expedition to once again support Partners in Health while also raising awareness and building solidarity. I hope that my role on this journey inspires my communities in the United States and Italy to learn more about Malawi, global health inequality, and how we can all work together to fight for a more just world. I believe that solidarity is an oft-overlooked aspect of working for justice, and one that I am deeply committed to. I personally hope to learn about Malawian culture, form lifelong connections with my team and the people we meet along the journey, and be part of a movement of people who believe in making equitable, effective health care a universal reality.
Please partner with me in bringing effective healthcare to Malawi, as I work to raise four thousand dollars to support this cause. Thank you!

My name is Sonja Arnesen. I am 27 years old from Minnetonka, MN and currently living in Chicago. I am a Wish Coordinator for the Make-A-Wish Foundation of Illinois and love helping make a difference in my wish family's lives. Outside of work, my hobbies include traveling, being outside, and being active!
When I first learned about the OnePulse mission I was immediately drawn to this organization as it incorporates so much that I am passionate about; world health issues, cycling, nonprofits, and global awareness. My background in public health and my job at Make-A-Wish have grown my desire to help others and get more involved with charity work.
This trip will be challenging in many ways, but I am very excited to embark on this adventure and be pushed outside of my comfort zone. I believe the only way to truly get to know other cultures is by spending time living in their environment. I have lived abroad before and also been on previous cross-country bike trips and believe that these experiences helped shape who I am today. I am excited to get to know the Malawian people to help understand their health needs and raise funds for Partners in Health.
I've set a personal goal of raising $5,000 and hope to surpass my goal by spreading awareness about our mission and encouraging others to join our journey in form of a donation.

My name is Susie DeLapp, I'm 27 years old and from Albuquerque, New Mexico. I'm a clinical social worker currently working as a therapist for kids in Treatment Foster Care. I love travel, doing anything outdoors, snowboarding, cooking and enjoying tasty and nutritious food, playing with my dog Pasha, and general adventuring.
My reasons for joining the Malawi Expedition are numerous: I want to experience the adventure of the ride itself, to enrich my perspective. I want to connect with people I would otherwise never have an opportunity to meet. I want to challenge myself to broaden my understanding. I want to learn about global health equity, decentralization of healthcare and it's impact on health outcomes.
I'm fairly certain that I can't predict the ways this expedition will change me. I'm sure I will struggle. And I'm sure I will be humbled. I hope to use the experience to expand my capacity for compassion, even if in the short term it proves confusing or difficult. For so many reasons, it's a privilege to be able to ride. I intend to honor my responsibility to improve my self and thus, the world after being afforded such an opportunity.
Cycling means freedom. I began riding three years ago when I trained for a trip with Bike & Build. Over seventy-one days we rode from Providence, Rhode Island to Seattle, Washington, stopping weekly to build homes with local affordable housing organizations. We were twenty-nine young people on a quest to just keep pedaling. It was far and away the most difficult thing I've ever done and it also allowed me the most personal growth. I surprised myself learning how strong I am and I'm not able to forget that lesson. To be capable of such a feat is a true blessing that so many will never experience, and so I now value and regard my body completely differently. There were small things every day that changed my perspective. I learned the value of sharing stories, making them very long and drawn out with twists and turns and all the details and reflections possible. It passes the time, yes, and there is no thing more powerful in connecting with others than the story they choose to tell you in the way they tell it. I am not a frequent rider of my bike at this point in my life. But I can tell you that no matter what is going on if I get on my bike and take a ride the gifts of freedom and perspective come rushing back to me almost immediately, even before I ride long enough to get an endorphin high.

I work as a nurse at a community hospital on windward Oahu. I have been following the work done by PIH since 2009 and am very excited about the opportunity to work alongside them. I am most interested in learning more about the barriers to healthcare in a country like Malawi, both from a provider's standpoint and through the eyes of those in need. I expect these interactions will give me a fresh perspective on some of our challenges at home.
this expedition combines three of my loves: travel, volunteer work, and endurance athletic adventures in the outdoors!

I'm a Paramedic and a Public Health Student.
By joining OnePulse in this expedition I hope to bring better healthcare to the people of Malawi, to help decrease the amount of health disparities we have in this world, to serve people and make new friends. Africa has been on my bucket list for years, and now I get to spend a whole month biking through it!
I'll probably be moving to Africa soon after! Community is huge to me, and I think I'm going to be blown away by how warm hearted and welcoming the Malawians will be to us. I can't wait to meet them! I also know that another look into the reality of health disparity is going to motivate me even more to keep fighting for the people that need healthcare so badly.
I've been riding forever! I used to bike 25 miles a day through highschool and college for work, because I couldn't afford a car. Even now that I have a car, I always rather bike because I love the motion of cycling and having that time to myself makes a huge difference for my days at work. Now that I live at the base of the Rockies my getaways are deep into the mountains with my bike and dog.
I am aiming to raise 5k!

Hi, I'm Talia! Having grown up in small town Norwell, MA just south of Boston, I've always been eager to see the world. I am 22 years old and I am passionate about seeing, learning from, and adventuring among as much of the world as I can. So when an opportunity to live and go to college in New York City presented itself, I couldn't pass it up. However, life at Fordham University was far from what I expected it to be, and I am incredibly grateful for it. While I spent some time in the big and bright Manhattan, I spent the majority of my four years getting to know and learning from the vibrant community immediately surrounding my campus in the Bronx. I was able to really get to know my community in a way that allowed me to work alongside them in an effort to foster positive change. I've come to understand and firmly believe that the best way to make any sort of change is by learning from, getting to know, and listening to the communities seeking and in most need of that change.
This brought me to where I am today—I currently serve as an AmeriCorps member with City Year in the South Boston Community and will be getting my Masters in Global Public Health and Policy next year. OnePulse brings an amazing opportunity for me to continue learning from and working with global communities but also to get to know a culture, people, and health system that will no doubt set the stage for the degree I will be pursuing next year. I am beyond thrilled to be pushing myself physically while also getting the opportunity to support an amazing cause and learn from a beautiful country and its communities.
All the best,

I'm extremely excited for this unique opportunity to ride across Malawi raising money for a fantastic cause. I'm looking forward to getting to know the people of Malawi and learning about their health care needs. Hopefully, my 13 years as a physician (scary) will aid in my ability to identify barriers to good health and provide some guidance along the way. There is no better way to see a new place than by bicycle. Slowly traversing a country on a bike is such a wonderful way to learn about a group of people and their living environment. Moreover, strangers are much more approachable when smiling and pedaling into a village. I'm sure we'll be quite a site as we roll into towns and villages.
I try to ride a bike daily for exercise, competition or as transportation. Why would you drive a car around town when you can ride? It's much more personal and often times faster in my neighborhood. I couldn't imagine life without bikes. My different bikes even have names, but we won't get into that. I was quite fortunate to grow up in a bike riding family, inspiring me to race and travel with a bike whenever possible
Sub Saharan Africa has held an important place in my heart for a long time. I frequently dreamed of Africa as a child. Just before starting medical school, I had a chance to spend my summer working in a rural clinic in Zimbabwe. I'll never forget the friendliness of the people. Adults and children always lit up with smiles when I ran and ride through their villages attempting to converse in Shona. I didn't have much to offer medically, but the people were appreciative nonetheless. My great regret is that I haven't been back. This will be a different experience, but I'm eager to get acquainted with more of the wonderful people of Africa. Also, I'm eager to meet this diverse group of riders. Hopefully, this philanthropic experience will inspire us and others to be stewards for people in need.
Aloha and Mahalo,

I anticipate this to be an exceptionally fulfilling experience. Healthcare is something I am extremely passionate about. I am a registered nurse. I hope for this opportunity to be both memorable and life-affirming. By participating in this excursion I aspire to have an impact on the world and hopefully make a difference in the lives of the people of Malawi, even if it may only be a small one. In addition, I am looking forward to sharing this experience with 19 other people and the sense of community and friendships we will develop along the way.
I know from previous experiences that this will be a life changing adventure. I think volunteering is an experience that is good for both your mind and body. We have become such a disconnected society full of self interest. Experiences such as this can help us to reconnect and become more empathetic and compassionate people. I've gone through a lot changes in the past year both personally and professionally and I'm hoping this will help to shape the new perspective and appreciation I have been developing on life.
I'm actually not much of a cyclist. I've always been more of a runner. Physically this is going to be an enormous challenge that I'm excited to take on.

Hunter Lambert

Flint, MI/ Santa Barbara, CA
Hello! I'm Hunter, a midwest transplant currently residing in Southern California. I moved to Santa Barbara from Flint, Michigan straight out of high school for what I thought was just for college, but quickly found out California was my true home. I am currently 23 years old and studying Biology with an emphasis in Public Health, eventually hoping to pursue a degree as a Physician's Assistant or a Doctor. I am deeply passionate about science and medicine, animal rights, environmental sustainability, and volunteering for charities that support the homeless, elderly, and disadvantaged children. I truly believe that the role of a responsible member of society entails helping those who are less fortunate. I am constantly looking for ways I can give back to my communities of Santa Barbara and Flint; it's true that even the smallest gesture of kindness can change the lives of many strangers.
Aside from all that, I enjoy playing the guitar and piano, traveling to new and exciting places, going to concerts and music festivals, creating new and delicious vegan/vegetarian recipes, spending time with my friends and family, exploring new hiking trails and beaches around Santa Barbara, and learning (erm, attempting) to learn my third language, French!
I am so unbelievably excited for this life-changing journey to Malawi with One Pulse and Partners in Health. I'm excited to see how far I can mentally and physically push myself on this epic ride, while simultaneously fulfilling my desire to educate and assist those who are less fortunate than myself. What I hope to gain from this experience is to become more in tune to the needs of others around me. In this crazy, materialistic world we're all living in today (and I find myself so often feeding into), it's easy to look past the small opportunities of helping others. With that being said, I'm so very excited to take on a journey much bigger than myself that will hopefully change the lives of Malawians for the better and that I will forever be proud of.

I am an Electrical Engineer by trade, and an adventurer at heart. There is a slightly different kind of beauty in both of them. However, whether I was looking at the sunrise over the edge of Hawaii, or from the tinted window of my engineering lab, there is always an appreciation for a brand new day. I believe that working with Partners in Health will give kids in Malawi the chance to see many more sunrises. There are very few non-profits as committed to a cause as Partners in Health is. Moreover, if I need a noble reason to bike across Malawi, then I just found a great one.
After biking across the United States with OnePulse in 2015, I realized that bicycles are so much more than transportation tools. The destination sure gave me the bragging right, but it was the stories and people along the way that had changed me the most. I am lucky to have this chance to go on another adventure with OnePulse.
Along with my commitment to help OnePulse, I pledged to donate $4000 to Partners in Health. If you are wondering, that is what the big red button below is for. It will help me tremendously if you can donate even the slightest amount to this cause.

Hello, all! I'm Ashley, a born and raised Michigander, global warming and environmental sustainability enthusiast, caregiver and adventure seeker. I am a recent college graduate from Western Michigan University where I received my Bachelors in Science with a focus on Holistic Health. After taking my well-needed year and a half off of school, I plan to attend Physician Assistant school and (hopefully) join the Doctors Without Borders Program to learn and practice different alternative medicines around the world. Coming this October, I will officially ditch this crazy midwest weather and make the big move to the west coast to reside in Portland, Oregon. When I find the time, I enjoy reading, brushing up on my "español", exploring new hiking/biking trails, practicing yoga, going to live music around town, attempting to get my short fingers to practice piano, and spending as much time with my family and friends while I'm still living in the Midwest.
My first experience in a developing country was a couple of years ago in Costa Rica. I spent two months exploring the country and volunteering at a local nursing home where I experienced the disparities there in first hand. Growing up in America, I never truly realized how privileged I was before this trip. While living with my Costa Rican family, there were many days the city was short on hot water, which meant taking many cold showers. We didn't have air conditioning, which meant the doors and windows stayed open during the day no matter how bad the bugs got at times (and trust me, they were bad, especially around meal times.) But these conditions were far from the worst conditions throughout the country. This experience is what gave me the motivation to make a difference and improve the lives of others who were unfortunately dealt a bad hand in life.
When I heard about the Malawi project with One Pulse and Partners in Health, I was more than eager to join the team. Traveling to Africa has been a bucket list item of mine for years. Now, not only am I going to be able to explore Africa, but I get to do it by biking AND help Malawians in need! I can't lie, I'm a little nervous, but so excited to be pushed mentally and physically and see just what I'm capable of achieving.

Sometimes the stars truly do seem to align. Certainly, this rings true for me when I reflect on the opportunity I have been given to join the OnePulse team. Our journey represents a powerful synergy between my passions and vocation. Not only is the bicycle my primary means of transportation and travel one of my favorite activities, I am also dedicating my career to global health and international development. This trip is a serendipitous way to combine these elements into one extraordinary experience. My gratitude is abundant.
Furthermore, the timing couldn't be better. This fall I will begin my Masters of Public Administration in Development Practice and Public Health at Columbia University. I am humbled by this opportunity to transform my passions into my profession, and eager to acquire the skills needed to design, implement and manage impactful programs for sustainable development. I can think of no better way to prepare for this undertaking than to cycle across Malawi and witness firsthand the challenges of extreme poverty that many Malawians confront daily.
This will mark my second trip to Sub-Saharan Africa. I first traveled there in 2014 when I moved to Uganda for six months to direct my participatory photography project, Picturing Wanteete. Hands down this is one of my life's most enriching experiences and I am thrilled to return and explore Malawi, a country new to me. Furthermore, I am honored to raise money and awareness for Partners In Health because I deeply respect their immense contributions to the global fight for healthcare as a human right. My goal is to raise $10 for every mile I ride. I thank you for helping us to reach our $100,000 team fundraising goal and sharing the journey with us!

The festival is great because it gives student filmmakers the chance to be recognized for their hard work," said Newman.
Pelham, NY (PRWEB) June 23, 2014
The 2014 Future Filmmakers Festival recently cast a spotlight on aspiring Westchester filmmakers as four films received top awards at the culmination of the Festival. Open to students from all accredited Westchester high schools, this year's event featured twenty-three participants displaying their cinematic creativity at Pelham's historical Picture House.
The Festival showcased films from a variety of genres paving the way for students from diverse backgrounds the opportunity to set foot into the world of filmmaking, production, and cinematography. As in past years, the Festival witnessed an outpouring of support and collaboration for its talented young participants. After careful deliberation by a panel of judges, three films were awarded 'Chesters' – Westchester's version of the Oscar – for their excellence with a fourth receiving a Chester for technical excellence.
Taking home the coveted first place award was Dobbs Ferry High School student Thomas Newman and his film "Change", which chronicles the exploits of a homeless man while delivering a potent message about society's startling inequalities. Second place was given to Zach Nagin, a Mamaroneck student whose documentary "Dos Caminos" explored the inner workings of the dual-language program at his high school. Briarcliff High School student Samantha Simpson took home third place for her film "The Taker: Behind the Scenes", a firsthand look into the challenges of shooting a documentary.
In addition to these three outstanding students, Mark Catolano, from Eastchester High School was honored for the technical excellence displayed in his film, "The Suitcase". This film exciting graphics accentuated the storyline of the journey of a mysterious suitcase.
The talent displayed by the four prizewinners only served to punctuate the overall effort put forth by each of 2014's twenty-three entrants, as the Festival continued to build upon its reputation as the premiere showcase for Westchester's amateur filmmakers and producers.
The festival is great because it gives student filmmakers the chance to be recognized for their hard work," said Newman. "All the films were fantastic…it was truly a rich experience and it was nice to win the Chester in the end."
The Future Filmmakers Festival has been a gateway for Westchester's most prodigious high school filmmakers and film students, providing them with the feedback and experience necessary to further their potential careers. The event is a collaboration of The Matthew S. Hisiger Film Foundation, The Picture House and is fully supported by The Executive Office of Westchester County.
The success of the 2014 Future Filmmakers Festival has greatly increased the anticipation for next year's event, of which all eligible prospective filmmakers are encouraged to apply. For more information, please visit http://www.mshff.org or contact Dale Hisiger at dale.hisiger(at)gmail(dot)com.
When Byram Hills High School sophomore Matthew Hisiger died in a car accident in February 1999, he left behind a community inspired by his passions. Intent on pursuing his dream of screen writing, directing and filmmaking, Matt had already been accepted to the New York Film Academy for that summer. To carry on Matt's legacy, his family, supported by his teachers, his friends and his community formed the Matthew S. Hisiger Film Foundation, a not-for-profit organization dedicated to nurturing high school students who have an interest in filmmaking, screenwriting and videography. Over the past 15 years MSHFF has touched the lives of over 250 young filmmaker's.
Since 1921, The Picture House has served as a cultural center and community hub and is the oldest, continuously running movie theater in Westchester County. Today, after an extensive renovation and the addition of state of the art technology, The Picture House shows the best in new, independent and classic cinema and provides students of all ages with the opportunity to learn about the art, science and business of film. In a world where you can carry a movie screen in your pocket, The Picture House preserves the sense of community, wonder and engagement that has existed since the formation of the first theaters.
THE PICTURE HOUSE is a community-based, mission-driven, nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization.

But on Christmas Eve, George's Uncle Billy loses the business's $8,000 while intending to deposit it in the bank. Potter finds the misplaced money and hides it from Billy. When the bank examiner discovers the shortage later that night, George realises that he will be held responsible and sent to jail and the company will collapse, finally allowing Potter to take over the town.

The first completed song from our most recent recording sessions is up on ReverbNation. Play the hell out of it!!! (It's fun!)
Well......Between reality and life, it seems the CD production is taking longer than was anticipated. We are very happy that Thunder Studios is insisting on putting in the EXTRA work to make sure this turns out right. Patience and persistence are the key words. We will keep you posted!
Well, another session on the CD over the weekend got us that much closer, but the end is still not yet in sight. The songs that have been mastered are very tasty (in our opinion), so we anticipate a final recording that will be worth the wait.
Stratus Blue will be playing at Miguel'z Tapas Bar and Restaraunt in Hawaii Kai Friday Night, June 1st from 9 pm until at least 11 pm. The address is 7194 Kalanianaole Hwy Honolulu, HI 96825 Phone: (808) 396-6100 This is in a beautiful setting, on the water in Hawai Kai. Come and enjoy a sunset dinner, a few drinks, and quality, original music by Stratus Blue!
Well.... May looks like it is out of our reach, but June will almost surely be the month we finish recording. Thunder Studios is doing a GREAT job with a painstaking attention to detail. We will be announcing the CD release party date soon! Hope you can make it!
.....and counting. Thanks all! Keep pushing "Play". We are approaching #2,000 in the Nation!
...for listening to us on ReverbNation. We appreciate your support. Check out our vids on ReverbNation or YouTube, as well. We will be getting new songs up in about a month. (Is it May already?)
A little tone thickening. Maybe re-do a couple of leads. Perhaps a little post-production. Then....mixing and mastering! May is looking quite possible!!! Can't wait to post some new recordings here!
Brushing some things up. One or two more sessions oughta get us to the mixing, editing, mastering stage. Still hoping for May. Perhaps it's time to think of a cover, etc. STOKED!!!!
Tonite, April 21, 2012. 7 to 11 pm at the Black Cat Hair Salon in Kailua. Makin' noise on the streets! Come on out and support a good cause!!!

A verdict has been reached in the trial of a teen dubbed the "Halo Killer" and a Judge's anti-games comments, documented by GamePolitics, are now making the rounds across the Internet. Seventeen year-old Daniel Petric of Ohio, has been found guilty of shooting both of his parents, which led to the death of his mother.
As we previously reported, the defense in the case attempted to lay blame for the shooting at the feet of stress and an addiction to the video game series, Halo. According to testimony, Petric committed the horrific crime soon after his parents took away his copy of Halo 3, a Mature rated title, after they had previously refused the then 15-year-old to play the game.

People coming to Skopje say the city keeps growing on them. It's full of character, atmosphere and excellent nightlife. One of the places that contributes to this statement is Jukebox. Situated in Debar maalo, the heart of the city, this underground bar/night club is one of the most popular places to spend the night out. It got its name from the 1950s Belgian jukebox inside that has been out of function for many years now.
Jukebox offers an excellent musical program with local live bands throughout the week. The basement stage is extremely small but that does not stop them from doing a good gig. Their rock-loving fans join an older crowd showing some dance moves to the younger generations on the dance floor. Extremely popular, especially during weekends, Jukebox is regarded as one of the establishments of Skopje nightlife.
What I like about the place is the mix of generations all dancing and enjoying themselves. In the winter it tends to get overcrowded with local artists, actors and musicians, enjoying the smoke-filled and loud atmosphere. People seem effortlessly cool and the atmosphere becomes contagious.

Ivory Coast striker, Didier Drogba, confirmed that he will leave newly-crowned European champions Chelsea when his contract expires at the end of June. Didier Drogba certainly brought down the curtain on a successful career at Chelsea by announcing that he would be leaving the club after 8 years in West London.
The 34-year-old, Drogba, leaves the Chelsea Football Club on a high after scoring an important equalizer against Bayern Munich in the Champions League final and later converting the decisive penalty in a dramatic shoot-out post extra-time. "I wanted to put an end to all the speculation and confirm that I am leaving Chelsea," Drogba said on the Chelsea club's website.
Drogba scored 157 times in 341 appearances, making him the Chelsea club's fourth all-time leading scorer, while his 34 European goals are a club record. Other than his Champions League heroics, Drogba also scored in the FA Cup final as Chelsea beating Liverpool at Wembley. Speculations are Drogba will be moving to join that Chinese club Shanghai Shenhua where he would join up with former Chelsea team mate Anelka who left in January.
No doubt, Drogba is a big loss for Chelsea and the club will be soon looking for a strong player to fill his spot. One thing is for sure, Chelsea fans around the world will miss seeing this superb player in the sea blue jersey !!

Giving Tuesday – Really?
I consider myself to be fairly in the know when it comes to the general trends in fundraising. I'm also truly passionate about helping charities move forward toward the most effective ways to engage consumers. If you read my blogs regularly, you've no doubt heard me harping about the need to stand out from the crowd – to be different than other charities. Like it or not, the 500,000+ charities across North America are competition to your fundraising so you need to differentiate yourself rather than blend in.
Enter Giving Tuesday, which according to its website is "a new movement for giving and volunteering, taking place each year after Cyber Monday. The 'opening day of the giving season, it is a day where charities, companies and individuals join together to share commitments, rally for favourite causes and think about others."
To me, Giving Tuesday is the one of the biggest "blend-in" exercises I have seen in a long time. I really dislike "me too" campaigns. In one word they are…well…boring!
If you do a little reading you might have read some numbers around giving that happened on Giving Tuesday last year which suggests it is incredibly successful. But it is unclear as to what these metrics really mean in the grand scheme of things. The international Giving Tuesday website boasts that on Giving Tuesday in the USA in 2013, giving to charity through two online gift processing platforms increased by about 50%. But no one seems to have analyzed whether it was new money or money already coming in through a one-day campaign.
History will judge but here is why I have such a bee in my bonnet about this "me too campaign"?
1. First of all, there is already a well-known day celebrating giving
Giving Tuesday splinters the efforts already in place to celebrate National Philanthropy Day. Professional organizations representing the sector like Association of Fundraising Professionals (AFP) and others already have a day to shine a light giving and volunteerism in the country. Last year the Government of Canada even passed the National Philanthropy Day Act commemorating November 15 as a day to celebrate giving and volunteerism. So why splinter this cause by adding more noise, rather than joining a movement already well established. And who designated December 3rd as the launch of the giving season?
2. Giving shouldn't be a one-day thing
I have spent a good portion of my fundraising career trying to encourage charities and supporters to think of giving as ongoing engagement (not a one-day event) in one or more causes meaningful to donors. Furthermore, many charities have learned the hard way large investments in one-day fundraising efforts are costly and often have a low return on investment. In this case, it may be true that giving on this particular day increases significantly but there does not appear to be any key messages to extend the trend beyond the one-day campaign. So what do you think happens to giving the day after Giving Tuesday?
3. "Me too" campaigns aren't effective in helping your charity stand out from the crowd
There's one charity I know of which has truly capitalized (in a good way) on the Thanksgiving holiday. A few years ago St. Jude's Hospital created the overwhelmingly successful cause campaign called Thanks and Giving – a campaign which other charities have been salivating over ever since. But they don't focus only on Thanks Giving day but on the month leading up to it. Furthermore, St. Jude's refrains from hammering away at the GIVE! GIVE! GIVE! message, but has cleverly woven giving their key messages that talk about WHY GIVE (not just the WHAT.) "Give. To help them live" is a powerful way to kick off a story campaign that is full of faces, names and families who are helped by St. Jude's.
4. Giving Tuesday seems to be a "hangover" from one of the biggest commercial days of the year and is not based in emotional engagement
It seems to me that the Giving Tuesday campaign is based on a guilt reaction to the overheated commercialization of Black Friday and Cyber Monday and the idea runs counter to what I believe about engaging consumers in causes. Having conducted significant industry research on what creates "breakthrough campaigns" (which we share with our clients) I can tell you that there are several factors that make up successful campaigns. Being reactive isn't one of those factors, and neither is guilt. At causemark, when we help charities build their next generation campaign, we work hard to discover an underlying emotion people feel for the cause, and the we build out a series of marketing and fundraising strategies and tactics that fuel their emotional nugget.
For the record, it's not that I think the Giving Tuesday campaign is evil or is inherently bad. I just think its ineffective, a distraction from important charity campaigns and ultimately is a waste of precious fundraising resources.
I'd like to know what others think about Giving Tuesday? I'd would especially like to hear from anyone who is able to show sustained giving results beyond this one-day campaign as a result of participating in Giving Tuesday. Perhaps history will prove me wrong.
