Evaluation has a greater role to play in informing the debates and decisions of parliamentarians In a recently published Op-Ed in the Diplomatic Courier, I argued that while parliaments and parliamentarians continue to play a vital role in functioning democracies more than a millennium after the first such body was established, their role could be made even more effective if there was a greater embrace of evaluation. The debates and decisions of parliamentarians should be informed by evidence from experience. If a program has produced expected results, should it continue, can it be repeated or expanded? Has a policy contributed to greater equity or heightened inequality and, if so, what corrective measures are needed? And, what better way to hold government accountable than an impartial assessment by evaluators that draws on feedback from stakeholders, including those who voted parliamentarians into office and are affected by their actions. Yet, few countries have well established evaluation systems. And what is evaluated often relates to assistance provided by multilateral and bilateral partners who evaluate results and performance. As the relative importance of official development assistance diminishes as a proportion of total flows for development, the reliance on these evaluations is insufficient. Instead, evaluation systems need to be able to assess the collective effects of resources for development - domestic and foreign, public and private, trade, aid and investments. Governments and parliamentarians alike should have an interest in understanding whether these monies propel development outcomes and who benefits from them. So, if evaluation is such an important part of good governance and a crucial part of the healthy debate in the institutions of democracy, what do parliamentarians need to do? I believe they can play a crucial role in three ways: By promoting an evidence-based discourse in their debates. Parliamentarians should recognize the importance of using evidence to inform decisions – be they on adopting legislation, approving budgets, or debating government performance in delivering against promised development results. By being discerning consumers of evaluation. They need to be discerning users because not all evaluations provide as strong or sound an evidence-base as they should, sometimes because their methods are flawed, but more often because the data is insufficient to be conclusive. By safeguarding the independence of evaluation. Parliamentarians can do this by ensuring that at least part of the evaluation system is safeguarded from undue influence with reporting lines to them rather than the administration, and with independent appointments and resources. Generating knowledge on what works, what doesn't and why is at the heart of evaluation. Acting on that knowledge should be at the heart of governance.

Halfway through the UN's Decade of Action for Road Safety, traffic accidents continue to exact a devastating toll. Bold actions are needed if the initiative's objectives are to be met. This past weekend, in cities around the world, events were held to remember the millions of people who have lost their lives or been seriously injured in road traffic accidents. Since 2005, when it was adopted by the United Nations, the World Day of Remembrance for Road Traffic Victims has been observed on the third Sunday of November as a commemoration and a call to action to make roads safer for all who use them. Every year nearly 1.3 million people are killed in road crashes, half of them pedestrians, cyclists and motorcyclists. A disproportionate number of the victims are poor. More than 90 percent of road fatalities occur in developing countries and many of the victims are of working age. Their deaths too often leave their dependents destitute. Committed to road safety Building safer roads has been a pillar of the World Bank Group's strategy for its transportation sector since 2008 and earlier this month, IEG, in cooperation with the Bank's Global Road Safety Facility , released a new learning product that aims to support and accelerate that strategy. One of the main findings of the report is that the Global Road Safety Facility (GRSF), which was established by the Bank in 2006 as a global partnership program, has had a significant impact in supporting progress in road safety. Since its creation, the GRSF has promoted the "safe systems" approach developed by the Bank and the World Health Organization which integrates road engineering, user behavior, policing and accident response into a transportation system. The GRSF has proven itself to be an effective and flexible model that makes good use of its limited resources. A government commitment to road safety is also crucial. Whether in high-income or developing countries, our report found that a body with a mandate to coordinate road safety issues across departments and agencies, one that is adequately financed and staffed and is equipped with a rigorous results framework to measure progress, is more likely to have a positive impact on road safety. Addressing the funding gap But gaps remain. The study found that some Bank road projects had a safety objective, but lacked specific activities to support it. Road construction or improvement projects did not always include actions to improve the behavior of road users or to raise their awareness of safety issues. Lead agencies involved in the implementation of the projects are often so concerned with completing the road works that the safety components of the project are addressed too late. And then there is the issue of funding – or the lack of it. The Commission for Global Road Safety has recommended that 10 percent of all road infrastructure funding in the future should be committed to safety. The Bank Group's funding level for road safety continues to lag behind that figure, but with its decision to mainstream safety into its road projects it is steadily increasing. The urgency of the need to comprehensively address road safety cannot be stated too strongly. In the past 15 years, road traffic accidents have risen by 80% in Asia and by 40% in Latin America and Africa. They remain the leading cause of death of people between the ages of 15 and 29. Bold steps to meet an ambitious goal The year 2015 will mark the mid-point in the United Nations' Decade of Action for Road Safety and its goal of reducing the predicted level of traffic fatalities by 2020 by 5 million. If this ambitious target is to be met, global efforts to address road safety will need to be substantially stepped up. As a way forward for the Bank Group our report recommends: A bolder financial commitment to road safety Improvements in road project design with a greater focus on safety activities The creation of minimum safety requirement for road projects More vocal advocacy among governments and non-governmental organizations to create a "tipping point" that puts road safety on the public agenda, particularly in those countries were citizens may be less vocal Even in wealthy countries, improving road safety takes time. Many of us can remember when the family car didn't have seatbelts and how long it took to change people's attitudes to wearing them. In developing countries with weaker institutional capacity realizing the gains that have been made in countries like Japan, Sweden and Argentina will be a gradual process. Our report concludes that the Bank Group is moving in the right direction with regard to road safety. The hope is that in the future, those attending events to remember road traffic victims will be fewer in number.

Health Financing Drives Equitable Health Care

Providing fair health care for everyone without financial risk means helping countries find effective ways to fund and sustain quality health systems. As World Bank Group President Jim Yong Kim said during a recent speech at Washington's Howard University, the battle against the Ebola epidemic is also a fight against inequality. Those fortunate enough to be born in countries with functional health care systems receive better treatment. But as a recent IEG evaluation found, it's not just poor countries that struggle to develop health systems that efficiently make use of available resources and provide quality care in an equitable way to the entire population. Our evaluation of World Bank Group Support to Health Financing points to health financing as a key policy instrument in meeting this challenge. The way countries finance health care influences how well the service delivery system performs, including how equitable and efficient it is. Countries decide how to mobilize revenues from public and private sources for financing health care, how to pool revenues and protect populations against financial risk, and how to purchase services wisely from health care providers. An integrated approach In many countries, millions of people suffer because they can't get needed care or the price they must pay for it pushes them into poverty. The World Bank Group recognizes that improving the well-being of a nation's people and protecting them against the financial consequences of ill health are top priorities to reduce poverty, share economic prosperity, and sustain long-term growth. In its first evaluation of the Bank Group's support to countries grappling with health financing issues, IEG found that efforts to improve resource mobilization, pooling, and purchasing for health are more effective and institutionally sustainable when they are coordinated and linked to broader public sector reforms. Elements of an integrated approach include compulsory and less-fragmented pooling in insurance and national health systems as well as strategic purchasing that examines potential adverse effects in a broader public sector context. Where Bank support to purchasing was combined with other health financing functions and linked to the public finance context rather than limited to narrowly defined payment methods, it has been relatively effective. Health care available to all Recently, results-based financing (RBF) has become more popular. It typically involves a cash payment or nonmonetary transfer made to a government, manager, provider, payer, or consumer of health services after predefined results have been verified. Availability of care increased where countries moved from line-item budgets to activity- or performance-based payments. But without measures to reduce user fees and improve risk pooling, RBF is unlikely to lead to greater equity in access to health care services and protection from financial hardship caused by illness. The evaluation makes five recommendations: support government commitment and build technical and information capacity, address health financing as a cross-cutting issue at the country level, focus on health financing as a core comparative advantage, integrate all health financing functions, and strengthen monitoring and evaluation in the Bank Group's projects. The opportunity and means for transformational change exists now for development practitioners to help their clients find ways to finance health care systems that offer quality services to all citizens.

Making Roads Safer: Learning from the World Bank's Experience

Every year, nearly 1.3 million people worldwide are killed in road crashes, which have become the leading cause of death among people between the ages of fifteen and twenty-nine. More than 90 percent of the world's road fatalities occur in developing countries, and half of the accident victims are pedestrians, cyclists, and motorcyclists. Road accidents disproportionately affect the poor, making road safety an economic development issue. Many crash victims are of working age, and their death or serious injury too frequently leaves their dependents destitute. Governments in poorer countries have assumed they cannot act to reduce death rates until they are wealthier. However, many of today's road safety measures can be implemented relatively inexpensively to reduce death rates, if managed correctly. In 2008, the Bank made road safety a pillar of its transport sector strategy and adopted the safe systems approach in one or two projects in each Region. More recently, the Bank fully adopted the tactic for all roads projects where feasible and encouraged road safety authorities to adopt this practice nationwide.

In our latest guest blog, Katherine Hay of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation argues that evaluators have an important role to play in reducing inequities. How do we ensure that evaluations include gender and equity? Let's not forget the role that people play! It is people who use evaluation as a tool to illuminate and address inequities: guidelines, systems, and capacities are insufficient. Let me give an example from my work. We talk a lot about disaggregated data. But just having that data does not mean it will be used to highlight inequities. In Bihar, India, we are working with the government and other partners on an ambitious maternal and child health program. The program captured baseline data in early 2012 from women who gave birth the previous year across the State. Over 13,000 women were surveyed. We had data on gender, birth parity, caste, income, religion, etc. But that does not mean we had gender and equity covered. Someone has to do and use the analysis. That takes resources and is a choice. When I joined the foundation the baseline report had been written. It had some sub-group analysis but gender and equity had not been a core focus. The program team wanted to reduce inequities but data was not being fully used to deepen this interest. We ran additional analysis. The following chart is one example of what we found. Although we knew that most women (72%) on average were not getting adequate antenatal care (ANC), this analysis showed large variations among women. Only 14% of illiterate women from scheduled caste, schedule tribe, or Muslim communities in the lowest economic bracket received three antenatal check-ups compared to 57% of literate women from less marginalized, and higher income brackets. At this point the midline was upon us. We were only weeks away from being able to examine whether inequities had been reduced two years on. With more detailed analysis of inequities in hand, we asked the team whether they expected the program to reduce inequities, hold them constant, or widen them. This created a surge of interest in results for marginalized groups at midline. Evaluation can lead as well as follow. In hindsight the choice to deepen this analysis and use it to engage with programs sounds like just doing good evaluation. And it is. But the point is that it doesn't just happen. We make choices about what to look at all the time. How did that story end? Wonderfully. At midline, they had substantially improved outcomes for marginalized women in several areas including front line worker visits, breastfeeding, complementary feeding, and use of modern methods of family planning. That's not easy to do. Obviously wide gaps still remain. But the program teams have a renewed focus, enabled by measurement, on continuing to narrow those gaps. Another thing we did in that midline was to question on intimate partner violence. The foundation was not working on intimate partner violence, so why do that? Evidence cannot take us in new directions if we limit evidence collection to what we are already doing. Anyone who has fielded a survey knows you can't include everything. My usual default is to include the most actionable questions. By that measure, violence may not have been included. But evaluation can't challenge inequities if we don't make space for them. So I put in the questions. Because I could. And that's the secret. We found very high levels of violence (see table). Almost 50% of the women surveyed reported physical abuse and 17% forced intercourse. Among the youngest and most marginalized women, 76% reported physical abuse and 33% forced sexual intercourse. We looked at the relationship of this violence to health outcomes. Among several associations, we saw that women facing severe physical violence, though more likely to receive home visits from health workers were less likely to deliver at facilities, and more likely to give birth to low birth weight babies.[i] I did not wait for someone to instruct me to ask those questions. That's not how evaluation works. I included them because I believed if I had evidence on the factors and inequities underpinning health, my colleagues and partners working to improve women's health would act. I was right. The data came out at a great time. The foundation was deepening focus on gender and equity and developing a Grand Challenge on Putting Women and Girls at the Center of Development. I could not have predicted this when I inserted these questions. It doesn't always work this way. Sometimes people are not interested; that's one reason inequities are so persistent. Melinda Gates recently wrote in Science Magazine, that the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation will be more intentional about addressing gender inequalities. I share my story to make the point that evaluation also has to become more intentional. So don't wait for a guideline to integrate gender and equity into your evaluations. Do it in stealth if you have to. That is how change happens. My call to evaluators is to be accountable for equity. We are not observers; we are participants in the way development unfolds. Take a position on equity and be active in measuring it with the tools of our trade. If we do not bring a gender and equity focus to evaluations, that is on us. [i] Data will be published shortly.

Evaluators need to ask themselves tougher questions about what difference their recommendations will make and the value they'll add. When I first wrote about Value-for-Money in the Evaluation Business, a number of people commented about the importance of addressing the question of "value for whom" and whether evaluation was generating value for a diverse set of stakeholders. As I've written in the past, knowing your stakeholders is important to me as an evaluator. To be effective we need to understand who our stakeholders are, what is at stake for them, and what they want to get out of the evaluation. So, what is the value we are creating for stakeholders, and can we please them all? Yes and no. We have a range of stakeholders that look to us for independent evaluation and evidence about what works and what needs fixing. Within the World Bank Group our main stakeholder groups are: The Bank Group shareholders, represented in the Board, who look to IEG and who use our work to engage with senior management on strategic issues and policy directions and who rate our work highly for its usefulness; Senior management which derives the highest value from our major evaluations and from our Results and Performance report that summarizes performance trends of the portfolio overall, also with the aim of raising strategic issues. Feedback from this group about the quality of our work, and hence, its value added has decreased and we are working hard to improve our standing. Recent evaluations and how they were received indicate we are on the right track, but we will follow-up with our client survey next month; and Colleagues who work in The World Bank Group's country offices and regions on country engagements and in the new Global Practices and Cross-Cutting Solution Areas handling projects. Signals from this group are mixed. On the one hand, the client satisfaction survey tells us that operational staff value our work, but individually we often get questions that show dissatisfaction. Answering the right questions The comments on the first value for money blog raised other concerns, namely whether we were answering the right questions or had come too late in the process to make a difference. These are valid concerns, and they arise in all evaluation functions, not just in IEG. Some of these issues come from different expectations of what evaluation can do. For instance, we often get asked why we cannot provide hands-on support to improving quality. The simple answer is it would interfere with management's responsibilities and undermine our independence. In other cases when it comes to asking the right questions, we share the approach papers for our major evaluations and concept notes for our major learning products with stakeholders and ask for feedback. At the end of the evaluation process, we have a similar interaction to ensure we get the facts right and that the recommendations make sense. Clients and users The users of our evaluations also go beyond the World Bank Group, even though we do not have direct client relationships and rely on Bank Group operational staff to follow-through on lessons and recommendations. These stakeholders include civil society organizations and other bilateral and multilateral organizations that rely on us as an arms-length institution that is close enough to see what is going on, while removed enough to have an independent evidence-based view. Does this mean we serve every stakeholder and answer every question? Certainly not! Reflecting on the value-for-money question there are three ways in which we as evaluators can push ourselves further: We can be sure that the questions we ask in our evaluations hone in on specifics that deepen the understanding of results and past experience; We can ask ourselves tougher questions about what difference our recommendations will make once implemented, and what value-added they will create; and We can capitalize on our work by making it more accessible to different user groups, creating greater value for them, at relatively little cost to us.

To promote inclusive growth the Bank Group needs to get the diagnostics of inclusion right before designing meaningful interventions that level the playing field for all. During its Annual Meetings earlier this month, The World Bank Group discussed with its shareholders and partners how to transform economies to benefit the poor, and in particular the need to bring the public and private sectors together to better combat global poverty. The challenges are formidable. Growth projections have been down-graded in light of the slow recovery from past crises and the impact of new ones; millions of people are jobless and millions more are seeking to enter the job market; technology provides opportunities for incredible advances but much of it goes towards jobless growth; wealth inequality leads to an increased concentration of wealth in the hands of a few, who exercise outsized influence on policies. As these issues were discussed, I was left with a feeling that the underlying, age-old challenge remained: building trust between the public and the private sector to work towards shared prosperity for the population at large. Was the public sector capable and efficient, was the private sector paying its taxes rather than profiteering? Were either of them doing the best they could to ensure citizens benefited from good governance as much as services? And, what is the role of The World Bank Group in this scenario? Being a partner to the public and the private sector, the work of the Bank – from analytics and advisory, through investments, trade and project finance, equity and policy lending, to guarantees, partnerships and monitoring – has played a vital role in the development arena. IEG has looked at a number of areas that shed light on how well the Bank Group is promoting inclusive growth, in particular for private sector development. Here are some lessons. Creating a level playing field Two of our evaluations concern creating a level playing field for private sector development. One is on investment climate reforms, the other on targeted support to small and medium sized enterprises (SME) development. The results of investment climate reforms were positive when it comes to making it easier for business to invest. However, the impact of these changes on investments, jobs, business creation, and growth is not straightforward. Likewise, when promoting SME development, it was far from clear which hindrances the Bank Group interventions addressed, and whether and how SME development was helped. Did the interventions, for instance, contribute to growth or jobs, and, if so, for whom. In promoting regulatory reforms, the Bank Group has focused on the cost to businesses and less so on the broader effects of reforms on inclusion or shared prosperity. Enabling private sector growth by supporting innovation capacity In our evaluation of innovation and entrepreneurship IEG found that the Bank Group supported its client countries in a number of ways - by supporting public and private research and development capacity and by strengthening entrepreneurial capabilities. The interventions tried, to a lesser extent, to bring together actors from public and private sector. Overall, the evaluation found that the Bank Group needed a clearer vision of how to support client countries with a systemic approach that brings private and public actors together to facilitate and promote innovation in a way that ensures that those living in extreme poverty also benefit. Better services through partnership Our evaluation of Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs) shows that the Bank Group has made significant contributions to building capacities, which is essential to overcome local gaps in skills and resources. Overall, investments in these partnerships have produced expected outcomes, often defined in aspects relevant to cash flow, such as the number of people that obtained access to infrastructure. However, success was not defined in terms of whether the poor – or bottom 40% – benefited from the services, or whether the quality of the services improved. Investing in people The same evaluation suggested that the fiscal implications of PPPs were not sufficiently considered in the design and implementation of the partnerships, which risked weakening a government's fiscal position and eroding its capacity to invest in people. Another evaluation suggests that government policies on pooling of revenues and risks, namely choices for financing the health sector, can create incentives for the behavior and performance of health service providers, health insurers, and individuals, and make these systems more inclusive. To promote inclusive growth the Bank Group needs to get the diagnostics of inclusion right before designing meaningful interventions that actually level the playing field for all. It needs to understand where and how to facilitate the relationship between public and private actors, and how to strengthen each in their respective roles in boosting shared prosperity. The Bank cannot assume that the distributional effects will occur by themselves.

How can global partnerships and country programs work better together? A new IEG evaluation charts a future course. Sharpening the World Bank Group's ability to deliver results for country clients has been the focus of a lot of attention and effort during the current change process. But to better deliver those results – and to help achieve the Bank's twin goals – more effort needs to be put into strengthening and improving an area that is not getting the attention it deserves- the Bank's global programs and partnerships. IEG's review of the Bank Group's partnership with the GAVI Alliance highlights the challenges the Bank faces in ensuring that its contributions to major global partnership programs maximize results for its country clients. GAVI is one of the Bank's fastest growing and most complex partnerships. GAVI supports childhood vaccination in low-income countries, disbursing on average $735 million annually between 2007-13. It is also one of the new multilateral 'vertical funds' in the health sector. The Bank Group has historically been a vital partner, helping to create GAVI in 2000 and setting up innovative financial instruments on GAVI's behalf. For example, the Bank helped create the International Finance Facility for Immunization that raised $4.5 billion for GAVI. The Bank also helped create the Advanced Market Commitment for pneumococcal vaccine. GAVI's secretariat, by design, does not have a country presence and relies on national health authorities and partners such as WHO and UNICEF to make sure that GAVI-financed vaccines reach all children. Although lean, this model has certain gaps. Who makes sure there is a dialogue with Ministries of Finance on how to finance immunization once GAVI withdraws? Who is responsible for boosting immunization rates for low income and remote populations? IEG's review finds that the Bank Group missed opportunities to contribute analytical work, policy dialogue, and donor coordination around immunization that could have addressed gaps in GAVI's model and improved results. In fact, in recent years, the Bank has largely disengaged from GAVI-supported national immunization programs - even as it continued to do innovative financial work on behalf of GAVI globally. Direct Bank financing for immunization has become largely restricted to polio; broader immunization-related lending was just 5 percent of total health lending in 2012. And the Bank has largely ceased doing analytical work on getting vaccination programs into national budgets. Tajikistan, for instance, has a capable Ministry of Health but no budget line for distributing the vaccines it receives from GAVI, a situation Bank staff were largely unaware of and so had not raised the issue with the Ministry of Finance. There are signs that the Bank Group has started to reengage with GAVI and that provides an opportunity to recalibrate the partnership by providing a clearer definition of roles and responsibilities. IEG's evaluation recommends that there should be a flexible division of labor that allows the Bank to pursue policy dialogue and conduct analytical work tailored to country contexts with a focus on countries with low immunization coverage. Key themes for the Bank to focus on are: Ensuring governments create budget lines for vaccination programs Equity of coverage More effective donor coordination. Looking beyond GAVI, the review highlights that inertia, disengagement, and missed opportunities for stronger development results have occurred in other large and vital partnerships. To prevent that from happening again, the Bank Group needs to be able to track and document how its partnerships are performing and to identify what it is contributing to them. Routine oversight and monitoring of the Bank's contributions to partnerships should be geared to optimizing their value to country programs and client countries. Staff may also need more support. Training for staff representing the Bank on boards of partnership programs and clear terms of reference would equip them to better represent the organization. The new World Bank Group strategy argues that addressing complex development challenges requires partnering with private, public, multilateral, and civil society actors. Our evaluation suggests that these partnerships could often deliver better value for money.

Montreal HotelsCobbled with historic charm and glazed with cosmopolitan modernity, Montreal is a skyscraping centerpiece on the glittering St. Lawrence River. From the antiquated facades of Old Montreal to the chic, fashionable vibrancy of the Latin Quarter, the lively city is a mix of appealing contrasts. Museums, galleries, and a busy festival calendar fuels the city's cultural scene, while world class dining and indulgent shopping make it a top destination for anyone seeking the best of life's pleasures. Montreal is all about the joie de vivre.Things to seeOf the many architectural jewels in 'The City of Saints', the Notre Dame-Basilica is the most opulent. Built in the Gothic Revival style, the church's gilt-laden interior is adorned with rich blues, intricate carvings, and grand stained glass windows. Stretching across the riverfront in Old Montreal you'll find the Old Port. With upmarket boutiques and haute cuisine restaurants, the historic hub is also home to the Montreal Clock Tower. For top notch entertainment, find your seat at the Place des Arts. With musicals, theater, and opera gracing the program, its contemporary outdoor plaza is the epicenter of Montreal's biggest cultural festivals. If sport is more your thing, then see what's on at the Bell Center. The 21,000-seater arena is home to the Montreal Canadians ice hockey team, and hosts numerous other sporting events. If all that leaves you feeling a little fatigued however, then Mount Royal Park offers 200 hectares of leafy, unspoiled tranquility.Hotels in MontrealThere are hotels in Montreal to suit every purse and preference, from modern high rise accommodation with sparkling views of the water, to historical houses with chic boutique interiors. Luxury hotels in Montreal come very well appointed, particularly if four-poster beds, chandeliers, and 5-star spa treatments tick your boxes. There's plenty of choice for the mid-budget traveler too, with familiar chain hotels and independent digs all offering the standard creature comforts, from WiFi to on-site gymnasiums. For a thriftier stay, there's a handful of cheap and cheerful retreats dotted about the city, from frilly B&Bs to no frills budget hotels.Where to stayOrnate 17th century architecture, winding cobbled streets, designer stores, and fine restaurants: Old Montreal exists at a horse-drawn pace and exudes French romance. Among museums and galleries, here you'll find the ostentatious grandeur of the Notre-Dame Basilica. For an altogether trendier affair, hipsters and fashionistas should opt for a hotel in Montreal's Plateau Mont Royal. Bohemian and artsy, the tone is set by relaxed shopping and café culture by day and a spirited party scene by night. Perhaps livelier still is the vibrant Latin Quarter. The sassy district is home to culture and cocktails, fashionable boutiques, and all the color and charisma of the neighboring gay village.How to get to MontrealPierre Elliott Trudeau Airport will be the gateway into the region for most international visitors, with multiple transatlantic flights going to and from the airport every day. It's 12 miles from the bustling center of Montreal's Downtown, and journeys into the city center via taxi can be a little pricey, so it's advisable to use the airport's shuttle service instead. Taking between 45 minutes to an hour to reach the city center, the 747 service operates 24 hours a day, and makes stops at the Berri-UQAM Metro Station. From here trains can whisk you to your final destination.

Makeup: Theodora Ko
These were shot during a late afternoon with Ko, in the relaxation of a local park. I feel extremely lucky to have talented/creative friend who aid me in my endeavours, especially with location scouting. If i'm not hogging two seats on my daily commute to school, I sometimes (ok frequently) stare out of the window and look at all the possible places I could visit for brunch or shoot at. It's relaxing to plan ahead all the things I would love to do, and sometimes I get ahead of myself, but it's amusing to know of the possibilities one discovers everyday.
Till next time lovelies!

Heres some tourist-y pictures for a change.
As expected, the Lourve was crowded regardless of our early morning venture.
So as we waited in line to enter, I decided to snap some shots.
I don't know what possessed me that morning, but realizing I wore jeans in the middle of summer in Europe baffles me.
I also distinctly remember running around Paris looking for a dock where we had dinner reservations.
You could say I had a warped sense of priorities.
The decision was between waking up early to get my outfit together...
Or to sleep in.
I'll leave the verdict to you.
Till next time lovelies!

It's that time again to delve into costumes, chocolate and late night charades.
To me Halloween has always been an excuse to buy ice cream / chocolate in bulk and scope out halloween-esque events or movies.
This year I've decided to revisit the costume I wore last year since I didn't have the time to document it.
This look was based on a Youtube video I watched as a kid, and became something on my bucket list of halloween costumes.
The video was a geisha inspired makeup look filled with vivid colors and dramatic flair, something I found myself admiring.
(view video here)
Since this look was more focused on a creative side, I wanted to ensure that I had the location and photographer who would translate my vision. Luckily I found Katrina who was sweet enough to do the shoot, and I must say the photos turned out better than expected.
With that being said, I hope all of you have a great night!
Till next time lovelies!

Paris Avec Moi

Photography & Makeup: Melissa Reggan
Here's a mini set of portraits Melissa shot of me during our meet up in Paris.
If any of you followed my journey to Europe last summer, you may know Melissa and I collaborated on several outfit posts.
(view here: Jungle Fever & Meow?)
This time round we shot around Melissa's neighbourhood, where I understood the appeal / simplicity of good lighting and plain walls.
The outfit agenda? To travel around without having any forms of restriction while channelling some minimalistic vibes.
Originally I wore this outfit with a pair of croc patterned slip on kicks (view here), but decided the outfit would suit some heeled sandals for the evening agenda. Usually I'm not a fan of sheer shirts, because it means I have to wear an extra layer of clothing underneath, and when one is travelling they sweat... Alot.
Sweating + tight clothing don't sit well with me, and when I'm out I enjoy not having to worry about the clothes i'm running around / trying to pose in.
Even so, the shirt was a perfect loophole.
It was indeed sheer, but manageable enough to be worn with a bralette.
Till next time lovelies!

Pokemon Field Guide
Will the complete guide contain every pokemon createcreated as of yet or will it just be a portion?
Also if you aren't doing all of them can you at least add sableye and beldum/metagross?
It will not include all Pokemon. I am keeping the journal and story centralized in a region I've created based off the far east coast of Africa named the "Limpopo Region". Also since Sableye is one of my favorites, most likely but no guarantees.
What would it take to convince you to do some for legendaries...?
Which would you prefer?
can you making one for Ninetales? *please*
Question, have you ever thought about putting all of them in a book? Or is there a place to download all of them?

San Clemente Library at 242 Avenda Del Mar will expand into what used to be the Seaside Senior Center, which relocated to a new building at 117 Avenida Victoria.
The San Clemente Library and Friends of the Library Bookstore, 242 Avenida Del Mar, are preparing to close sometime in late February for a year, so the county can expand the facilities.
What used to be the Seaside Senior Center at one end of the building will become part of the library. A lobby that separated the senior center from the library will become usable library space. The existing 9,800 square feet of library will undergo a $1.4 million makeover. Branch manager Karen Wall said the bookstore will occupy part of the former senior center, which has relocated to 117 Avenida Victoria. The existing bookstore behind the library will be used by staff.
Dennis Downs, project manager, said the county expects to open construction bids Feb. 5. During construction, a temporary library and bookstore will offer limited services in a modular building between the library and the San Clemente Community Center.
To learn more, visit the library or call 949-492-3493.

We had record rainfall through the middle of May...then immediately went into the hot summer...temps in the high 80's to 100 since then almost every single day. And I guess getting up and out prior to 9 am isn't going to happen, LOL!
Looking forward to cooling temps!

Oh, wanted to tell you and Em that the Midwest Living Magazine has an article called Chasing Waterfalls - - exploring the natural treasures of Michigans Upper Peninsula. It shows photos of Bond Falls, Bonanza Falls, Cascade Falls and Manido Falls in Porcupine Mountains Wilderness State Park. Those are ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL!! Have you ever been to any of those areas? Arkansas has lots of really pretty places too....and, na,na, na na na...it's WARMER!!!(lol)
Well, I'm keeping my fingers crossed we can get those folks back out here. It's the perfect place to sit and sip and dip. (cider and donuts you know..lol)
|Mon, 09-01-2003 - 8:57am
Oh the U.P. (upper peninsula) of Michigan is glorious! We've been wanting to get to Copper Harbor for a long time but just haven't. I guess living in Michigan we kind of take these things for granted and want to go "out of state" on vacations & such. But we do go to the east side of the state (Tawas area) at least once a year. The lakes are so beautiful!
We have been to Tahquamenon Falls near Paradise, Michigan several times and they are just beautiful too.
Thank you for cluing us in on other beautiful spots here in the Great Lake State! Us Michiganders appreciate it! I have learned that every state has beauty. I want to retire someday so that I can go to all the states and see it! LOL Have a great week-end!

Trillium Rolls As Sanus Mix Of Style And Function
Thursday October 10th, 2013 - 3:31PM
These are shortcuts to your favorite social networking and bookmark sites. Add this story to your Facebook page, del.icio.us, DiggIt, and many others!
Sanus, producer of audio/video mounts, furnishings and consumer electronics accessories, today announced the launch of the Trillium furniture collection. The company stated that it designed the three media cabinet product line with style and functionality in mind.
Trillium cabinets offer large, wide shelves to maintain electronic components neatly, keep them cool and hide sound bars and media players. Cables route through numerous cable pathways in the back of the piece, while removable back and side panels, and hidden compartments keep components such as wireless routers and chords accessible but out of sight.
In the collection, the Juniper53 53-inch cabinet comes in an Antique White finish while the Trillium63 63-inch cabinet and the Trillium53 53-inch cabinet launch in Dark Cherry or Walnut finishes. The 53-inch cabinets support flat-panel TVs up to 60 inches at a $599.99 suggested retail price, and the 63-inch cabinets supports flat-panel TVs up to 70 inches at a $799.99 SRP.

Sound4 ULA 8-Playout
Sound card
This card is mainly used as a sound card to directly play to LAN audio (Livewire or Ravenna). It features eight stereo inputs (play), eight Universal LAN Audio (ULA) inputs, eight stereo outputs (record) and eight ULA outputs. With the 3D mode, sources can be given an order of priority, from one to nine, in the Matrix engine. Then establish source scenarios of backup, priority, and mixing group. The 3D audio matrix also has a Mix Engine with a capacity of 16 inputs to 16 outputs. Cross-fades are assignable separately for each source. Thanks to the eight-ULA playout, it is no longer necessary to use an external mixing engine to mix playout sources with ULA sources (Livewire or Ravenna).

Babysitting isn't a human invention: roughly 3% of mammal species, and 8-9% of modern bird species, involve individuals other than the parents in raising the young. And this fossil nest, found in the Cretaceous rocks of Liaoning Province, China, might be the first known example of dinosaur babysitting. »

During the early Eocene epoch, North American mammals were quite different from what we see today. Here's one example: researchers have just uncovered a 2-inch-long fossilized hedgehog in British Columbia. That's the size of your thumb. »
Young-earth creationists don't ignore science. Instead, they reinterpret it to fit their belief system. One paleontologist was curious to find out what they teach about human ancestry, and how they interpret early human fossils. Here's what he found out. »

A total of 10 West Allis Hale football players signed college letters of intent several weeks ago.
Inside linebacker Brian Otto signed with the University of North Dakota, a Division-I program in Grand Forks, N.D. Otto led the Huskies in tackles with 63 solos and 40 assists, plus six sacks and 11 tackles for losses.
"Just the way he plays the game, his work ethic and the way he goes after things is really what first interested us in him," North Dakota coach Rod Carey said. "We expect big things from him in the Fighting Sioux uniform. He fits exactly what we've had at linebacker, the great tradition of it. We think he's going to carry the torch really well."
Outside linebacker Kyle Hahn will play for Southwest Minnesota State in Marshall, Minn., a Division-II school.
Division-III signees are quarterback Tommy Koch with Austin College in Sherman, Texas; defensive back Danny Wall and wide receiver Cory Pallen with the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point, offensive lineman Alex Schumitsch and fullback Donny Nowak with UW-Oshkosh, running back Peter Vo with UW-River Falls and outside linebacker Thomas Ayling with UW-Platteville and tight end James Ali-Carr, with the North Dakota State College of Science in Wahpeton, N.D.
