This is my story; this is my daughter's legacy.
Will you help us find a cure in her lifetime?
They call themselves Team 3rd Generation and they have been walking together to find the cure for breast cancer for over 10 years. Four of them make up 3 Generations of breast cancer survivors. Mary, Dorothy, Janet and Jill have a combined 69 years of survivorship. Jill, my niece started her battle at the tender age of 25. We are a family struck by genetic breast cancer, and it is our mission to help find the cure for this horrible disease. We dream of creating a world free of breast cancer so that our daughters and granddaughters do not ever have to hear the words "you have breast cancer".
Today I will bake.
I will bake for my beloved Mary, who has battled this disease three times. Her strength, courage, and beautiful spirit inspire us all each and every day.
I will bake for Jill my niece and our advocate, who has single handedly raised tens of thousands of dollars to help find a cure. She continues to fight the good fight each and every day.
I will bake for Janet, who is our rock, even when everything around us is falling apart; she pulls us through it all.
Mostly though, I will bake for my precious mother-in-law Dorothy, who in 1976 a breast was removed because of cancer, to find out this year, at age 83, it had returned, this time in the other breast.
I think it is because of our strong Catholic faith that keeps all of us going.
So this month of breast cancer awareness, if you haven't already, do me a favor and get checked.
It just seems as women we put just about everyone and everything above ourselves.
If you are at that age, get a mammogram. If not, do a self-check. If you don't know how, ask your doctor.
It may save your life.
So here is a recipe in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness.
Strawberry Cake with Strawberry Icing
1 package white cake mix
1 package (3 ounces) strawberry-flavored gelatin powder
1 cup vegetable oil
4 eggs, lightly beaten
1/4 cup water
3/4 cup mashed strawberries
Strawberry Icing
1/2 cup butter
1 pound confectioners' sugar
1/4 cup mashed strawberries
Combine cake mix and gelatin powder in a large bowl. Beat in oil, eggs, water, and strawberries. Pour into 2 9-inch round greased and floured cake pans. Bake in a 350 degree oven for 30 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool and frost with strawberry icing.
For icing, beat the butter and confectioners' sugar together until smooth. Add strawberries. Spread between cake layers, then frost top and sides. .
Peace be with you,

Managing NCEA
Getting started with managing NCEA.
The Process
Our part 1 and part 2 videos provide good practice for NCEA in edge.
1. Create/Edit Courses
Curriculum > Course > Course Summary (select Course); or
Curriculum>Course>Create New
Identify new course name and name to be used when reporting (meaningful for parents and NZQA submission). Tick 'Course Active' if the course is current and to be effected in timetabling straight away. MoE Fields including Subject, instructional year level, hours per year - impact on roll returns.
Select course duration (academic year, semester or term) and dates for start or to remove the course and 'Save'.
In Course Summary the new course will be listed under year level or Undefined Instructional Year Level. The coloured flags indicate their status in terms of those completed, the flag will be green where everything required for timetabling the course is complete.
To edit course details click on the name of the course (link) from the Course Summary list.
2. Attach Teachers and Students to Courses
Curriculum > Course > Course Summary (select Course); or
Curriculum>Course>Create New
Students can select their own courses via the student portal.
Option selection in the student portal is enabled via Curriculum > Courses > Student Option Configuration.
3. Attaching (or editing) standards to a course or to a student, or checking the course Provider.
Curriculum > Course Summary (select Course) > Attach Standards
4. Course Endorsements
edge will automatically set a course as Endorsable if it meets the necessary criteria (minimum 14 credits, minimum 3 credits internally assessed and 3 externally assessed).
To exclude a particular course from Endorsement tick 'Don't allow Endorsement' at the bottom of a course's editing page.
5. Create Classes
Curriculum > Classes > Define Class; or
Curriculum> Course > Course Summary (select Course)
Classes inherit the standards attached to their related course, but these can be individually edited (see Edit Standards)
6. Edit Standards
Curriculum > NCEA > Edit Standards. Standards attached to students via their classes can be managed on an individual basis.
Use Edit Standards to individualise attaching standards on students by class.
*Note: Unticking a standard on a student doesn't mean the standard is withdrawn, it does mean it was never attached. Due to the additive nature of the NCEA submission process, the editing of standards on students should be completed prior to the first submission. A reminder that as part of the submission process there is the option to send only those internal standards that have a result. Attached external standards are always submitted.
7. Assign Standards to individual students (if required)
Curriculum > NCEA > Assign Standards (select student) - ie. Gateway, extra standards, individualised courses, etc.
8. Mark NCEA
Administrators: Curriculum > NCEA > Mark NCEA.
Teachers: Achievement > Select Class > Mark NCEA.
Marks can only be added to internally assessed standards. Any externally assessed standards attached to the class will not be listed.
9. Progress for NCEA
Administrators: Curriculum > NCEA > Progress (formerly Mock) NCEA.
Teachers: Achievement > Select Class > Progress (formerly Mock) NCEA.
Marks can be added to both internally and externally assessed standards.
10. View Results
Administrators: Curriculum > NCEA > View Results.
Teachers: Achievement > Select Class > Class Summary.
Displays a grid view of colour-coded NCEA results, both Progress and Provisional.
A * alongside a result indicates there is a note attached to that assessment. Mouse over the result to 'pop' the note into view.
11. Student Summary
Administrators: Curriculum > NCEA > Student Summary.
Teachers: Achievement > Select Class > Student Summary.
Displays a comprehensive breakdown of the NCEA standards, credits and results attached to each student. Defaults to the current year (provisional results), however data for all years can be selected. A summary of NZQA confirmed results from previous years can be viewed on the Credit Summary tab.
12. Billing
Curriculum > NCEA > Billing. Billing functionality for NZQA is provided with invoicing options for single or bulk invoice and recording NCEA student finance details including Financial Assistance. From the NCEA Billing page, click the Assistance tab to record any payments, or in NZQA Details, tick the 'Financial Assistance' checkbox to see more assistance fields. Where payments are recorded in error, it is possible to undo the payment using "Undo Payment", note the ramifications of doing this in the Billing article.
13. NZQA Import/Export
Curriculum > NCEA > NZQA Import/Export
- *Create a file of NCEA assessments for upload to NZQA
- Create a Moderation list for a particular standard
- Import a previous year's confirmed NCEA results from a results file supplied by NZQA.
- Import the NZQA Consents file. ie. the list of Unit Standards the school is approved to teach.
14. Analysis
Curriculum > NCEA > Analysis
- Comparison tab available for comparing your previous year's confirmed NCEA results with national results
- Analyses your current NCEA data by ethnicity, NCEA level and result
15. Progress Table
Curriculum > NCEA > Progress Table
The NCEA Progress table provides a sortable and filterable list of students and their respective credits gained for each NCEA level; their possible total, and the number gained for Literacy and Numeracy at Levels 1 and 2.
Filter by one, or a combination of: Instructional Year level, Form Class, Ethnicity.
We recommend using this table frequently - initially to monitor the number of credits attached to students at the start of the year, then monitoring progress as the year develops.
Where do I view student standards and other NCEA data.
Enter NZQA fees and view summary details, financial assistance, bulk invoicing functionality for NZQA.

The Computing at School (CAS) working group was formed in 2009 as a grassroots organisation with members drawn from schools, higher education and the computing industry. Their concern was the drop in applications for undergraduate computing courses and a dearth of specialists entering related professions. This paper studies the development of the organisation with respect to models of communities of practice. The methodology is a retrospective reflexive study based analysis of e-mail transactions to review the association's activities and relationships with other stakeholders in computing education. Through this, the formation of a new professional community of practice is tracked and its characteristics established.

For your next formal occasion, don't drop big bucks at the salon. Instead, try one of these ten simple styles using buns and twists.
For all of these styles, you will achieve best results if you do not wash your hair the day of styling; your natural oils will help to give your hair weight to hold the buns or twists. For many of these twists and buns, you will need bobby pins and elastic ponytail holders---make sure to use only those products that are designed for use in hair and are coated to protect your hair. For additional flourishes, decorate your buns and twists with specialty bobby pins, barrettes, ribbons, fresh flowers, or a tiara.
These six hairstyles work best on shoulder-length to long hair.
-Ballerina Bun. This is a classic and romantic look for formal occasions. Brush all of your hair into a high ponytail at your crown. Smooth out any lumps and bumps before securing the ponytail. When you are satisfied with the ponytail, secure it with a coated elastic ponytail holder. Twist the ponytail until it begins to twist in on itself. Wrap the length of the ponytail around its base to form the bun. Finally, wrap the end of the ponytail over the entire bun to create the smooth shape of the ballerina bun. Use an additional elastic hairband if necessary to hold the bun in place, and secure with coated bobby pins. Use a heavy duty hair spray to keep loose hairs from flying out.
-"Princess Leia" Buns. If you want your hair to really stand out from the crowd, try this style. Part your hair evenly down the center, and brush into two side ponytails (above your ears). Secure each ponytail with an elastic hairband. Twist one of the ponytails firmly, and then begin to wrap the twist in a spiral. Keep the wrap flat against your head, rather than wrapping the bun on top of itself. Tuck the end under the wrap, and secure with bobby pins. Repeat on the other side, and spray both buns heavily with hairspray.
-Spiky Bun. Brush your hair into a high ponytail at the crown of your head, and secure with an elastic hairband. Then, divide the ponytail into three pieces. Twist each section, bring it back to the base of the ponytail, and secure with a bobby pin, allowing several inches of the tail to stick out over the bun. You can spike these tails by teasing each section and applying a little "hair glue" or gel, or just leave them loose for a soft, tousled effect.
-Chopstick Twist. This twist is tricky to explain but easy to do! If you don't get it on the first try, keep practicing. You will first need a pair of decorative hair chopsticks. Make a loose, unsecured ponytail in the center of your head, and hold this bundle of hair in your right hand. Next, place the chopstick, pointed side down, to the right side of the bundle of hair, and twist the chopstick so that it comes under the bundle of hair. Bring the chopstick up, twisting your hair around the chopstick, and make sure that the twist is very tight to begin with---otherwise, it won't stay put. To secure, stick the pointed end of the chopstick through the center of the ponytail, then work the other chopstick through the twist. Finally, use bobby pins to hold down any loose hairs.
-Double Barrette Twist. Part your hair evenly down the center. Take one half and make a loose, unsecured ponytail. Twist this section tightly, then wrap it up and secure with a barrette. Repeat on the other side. Tuck the "tails" of the twists under and secure with bobby pins, or leave them loose to "spray" over the twists.
-Ponytail Twist. This twist works best with very long hair and makes a unique but elegant updo. Make a loose ponytail at the nape of your neck. Twist the entire ponytail, and then loop it around. Fasten the loop with a barrette so that the twisted loop can dangle. Use bobby pins to secure any loose ends.
Hair of Any Length
Although most "updos" are designed for long hair, there are still plenty of fun looks you can create with shorter hair. Here are four styles using twists and buns that will work on hair of almost any length (although you do, of course, need to have enough hair to twist).
-Twin Buns. Part your hair evenly down the center, and gather each side into a tight ponytail at the nape of your neck. Secure with elastic bands. Twist each ponytail, and wrap it up into a tight, small bun. Tuck in the tails of the twists, and secure with bobby pins.
-Half Up, Half Down. This style consists of two small buns at the crown of the head, and then the rest of your hair is left loose. Make two small ponytails, evenly spaced, on opposite sides of your crown. Twist each of these so that the twist wraps upon itself, and secure with bobby pins. Style the rest of the hair as desired.
-Mini Buns. This cute, trendy look is made of many tiny buns arranged all over the head. Decide how many buns you want, and divide your hair evenly into sections. Make firm ponytails, and secure each with an elastic band. Then, twist each ponytail into a tiny bun. Wrap the end of the ponytail over the top of the twisted bun to create a smooth line. Secure loose ends with bobby pins.
-All-Over Coils. For a choppy, funky look, try this technique: simply twist small, random locks of hair, and secure with bobby pins. Apply gel to the tails so that they spike. Spray all over with a heavy duty hairspray.

There's a provocative post on Nick Carr's blog in which he discusses the potential expansion of self-tracking technology as a mechanism of quantified control:
But, as management researcher H. James Wilson reports in the Wall Street Journal, there is one area where self-tracking is beginning to be pursued with vigor: business operations. Some companies are outfitting employees with wearable computers and other self-tracking gadgets in order to "gather subtle data about how they move and act — and then use that information to help them do their jobs better." There is, for example, the Hitachi Business Microscope, which office workers wear on a lanyard around their neck. "The device is packed with sensors that monitor things like how workers move and speak, as well as environmental factors like light and temperature. So, it can track where workers travel in an office, and recognize whom they're talking to by communicating with other people's badges. It can also measure how well they're talking to them — by recording things like how often they make hand gestures and nod, and the energy level in their voice." Other companies are developing Google Glass-style "smart glasses" to accomplish similar things.
A little more than a century ago, Frederick Winslow Taylor introduced "scientific management" to American factories. By meticulously tracking and measuring the physical movements of manufacturing workers as they went through their tasks, Taylor counseled, companies could determine the "one best way" to do any job and then enforce that protocol on all other workers. Through the systematic collection of data, industry could be optimized, operated as a perfectly calibrated machine. "In the past the man has been first," declared Taylor; "in the future the system must be first."
The goals and mechanics of the Quantified Self movement, when applied in business settings, not only bring back the ethic of Taylorism, but extend Taylorism's reach into the white-collar workforce. The dream of perfect optimization reaches into the intimate realm of personal affiliation and conversation among colleagues. One thing that Taylor's system aided was the mechanization of factory work. Once you had turned the jobs of human workers into numbers, it turned out, you also had a good template for replacing those workers with machines. It seems that the new Taylorism might accomplish something similar for knowledge work. It provides the specs for software applications that can take over the jobs of even highly educated professional
There's a sense in which I agree with Carr here and I've written about this in the past. However he glosses over the issue that interests me the most when he talks about the "transformation of QS from tool of liberation to tool of control". It's this dichotomy which so fascinates me about self-tracking. On the one hand, I can see how it can function as a quasi-emancipatory technology which augments the human capacity for reflexivity, potentially freeing the individual from the blind force of (socially inculcated) habit. On the other hand, I can just as easily see how this expansion of portable technology for quantification can, particularly when coupled with amenable patterns of affective response from the 'users', constitute a potentially terrifying expansion of disciplinary control within the workplace. I could see how, stealing a phrase from Mark Fisher, this results in the ever more effective design of electro-libidinal parasites deployed to manage motivation at a time of intensifying deskilling. Carr usefully draws out a parallel tension which can be found in in the advent of 'personal' computing, usefully hinting at the dialectical interconnection between the consumerisation of IT and the centralization of control in cloud services and data centres:
The transformation of QS from tool of liberation to tool of control follows a well-established pattern in the recent history of networked computers. Back in the mainframe age, computers were essentially control mechanisms, aimed at monitoring and enforcing rules on people and processes. In the PC era, computers also came to be used to liberate people, freeing them from corporate oversight and control. The tension between central control and personal liberation continues to define the application of computer power. We originally thought that the internet would tilt the balance further away from control and toward liberation. That now seems to be a misjudgment. By extending the collection of data to intimate spheres of personal activity and then centralizing the storage and processing of that data, the net actually seems to be shifting the balance back toward the control function. The system takes precedence.
However I want to understand the dynamics of this 'tension' rather than simply describe it. Any ideas much appreciated!

|Steamy scrambly goodness.
I've tried a bunch of different recipes for scrambling tofu, but I've found the best kind is what we whip up ourselves with whatever we're feeling like at the moment. Here are the important components to scrambled tofu, which you can use as a simple scramble or as a base for a more exotic one: a block of firm tofu, crumbled (I like the occasional large curd-like crumble in mine, but that's mostly because my dad used to like to overcook scrambled eggs). A little oil. A bit of soy sauce, a bit of white miso and/or nutritional yeast (a tsp up to a Tbsp of each, whatever you like). And most importantly, if you want a good "eggy" texture: ground flaxseeds with some water. I'd've ever thought of that on my own (which is strange, actually, since flaxseeds are my go-to egg replacer), but the boyfriend always adds ground flaxseeds and water to his scrambled tofu.
I assume everyone has their own favorite recipe for scrambled tofu, so you might be thinking "whatever, I'm not trying a new recipe." But I'm telling you: try adding the flaxseeds. A good place to start is a Tbsp ground flaxseeds and 2-3 Tbsp water. Mix all your scramble ingredients in a bowl with salt and pepper, then saute in a skillet over medium-low heat (in oil if you want, but it's much yummier in a Tbsp or two of Earth Balance). Stir it occasionally, but it's nice if you can let the bottom brown a bit. You can eat it any time after 5-10 minutes. If you want to make it cook longer (ie, you're waiting for home fries to finish cooking), just add a couple Tbsp water so it doesn't dry out.
Some people, like my father, are scramble purists, and don't like any veggies in their breakfast, but I like to lightly saute some onion and/or garlic before I add the tofu to the skillet. Spinach or other greens are also good additions; shredded carrots can be good, too. Other things you can experiment with, to taste, when you go to make the tofu mixture are spices (turmeric for color, asafoetida or black salt for more of an eggy flavor, curry powder, herbs), condiments (mustard, vegenaise, maybe ketchup if you're feeling crazy), seeds (sunflower seeds work well) or vegan analogs (fake cheese and/or cheese sauces, crumbled veggie bacon or sausage, etc).

Aloha and Happy New Year from Dr. Hsu!
I am so grateful that Dr. and Mrs. Kondo have entrusted their life's work to me and am even more grateful for the incredibly warm welcome from you, our clients and your beloved pets.

There is a very detailed list at the end of this letter, but the short of it is that in the past year we have invested in so much new medical and diagnostic technology that we have substantially improved our ability to care for your pets. Thanks to new instruments, diagnostic lab systems, emergency medical equipment and anesthesia machines, we can diagnose and heal your pet more quickly, safely and effectively than ever.
Additional staff has been hired to operate this new technology and to deliver this improved service. They are all excited to get to know you. To see our new staff photos and bios online, please go to our website at www.honpet.com. On the homepage, select "About Us" and then "Meet Our Team". As with any change, we have also unfortunately lost some of the people you may have considered part of your pet's ohana. We are thrilled that Dr. Kondo, however, is still with us! After one month of retirement, he missed his patients too much. Now he works Tuesdays and Thursdays.
So yes, a lot of change is underway. We hope that you will be as excited and delighted as we are. Please always feel free to contact me or our hospital administrator, Ms. Trilby Sheeser (my significant other), if you have any questions or concerns, comments or suggestions.
We sincerely thank you for the honor of caring for your beloved pets.
Warm regards,
Ed Hsu VMD
Now for that detailed list of changes:
AVAILABILTY and STAFFING: We are now open 8AM to 5PM seven days a week in order to provide more convenient as well as consistent and continuous care. There is now a night technician who provides care and monitoring for boarding and hospitalized patients from approximately 9PM to 1AM every night. That extra monitoring, walk or litter check in the middle of the night makes a difference vs. being left alone for up to 15 hours when the clinic is otherwise closed.
EMERGENCY MEDICINE/CRITICAL CARE: We now take emergency phone calls 24/7. (Call 808-988-2188, seven days per week for emergencies overnight, from 5pm until 8am.) The Honolulu Pet Clinic is proud to offer a state of the art Snyder ICU Oxygen unit capable of providing oxygen with environmental control for pets in need of oxygen support. Short of a ventilator, this is the best method of providing oxygen support available. This unit is ideal for treating pneumonia, heart failure, COPD, asthma, heat stroke or even just for help with post-op surgical recovery.
SERVICE/PATIENT CARE: While it may be a bit more contact then you are used to, we have instituted a process where we follow up with everyone within 24-48 hours of every office visit or procedure to make sure things are going well, that nothing was missed, no adverse reactions need to be addressed, and to take care of any new questions or concerns you might have. We will also be calling with all lab results, whether negative or positive, instead of only if there is a problem. This eliminates the risk of a test result being missed.
BOARDING: In order for your pets to have the least stressful, most comfortable and fun accommodations while they are under our care, we have made several changes. Air conditioning runs throughout the clinic and boarding areas 24/7. We added a night shift from 9pm to 1am so pets get a last walk, treat, litter check, etc. New dog runs are coming soon, but we have already upgraded our cat cages to beautiful new, modern cat condos. These condos provide more room, ledges for your cat to lie on and jump to and from, and separate areas for water, food and litter away from sleeping space. When space allows, we can even give your cat more than one cat condo for extra space to enjoy.
DIAGNOSTICS: Not only do we already have a complete state of the art IDEXX ProCyte and Catalyst analyzer capable of providing in-house CBC, chemistry, thyroid, fructosamine (diabetes monitoring) and cortisol (Cushing's and Addison's disease monitoring), we are the first clinic in Hawaii to have the IDEXX Sedivue urinalysis system. This means we don't lose precious time or risk degrading a sample by sending urine samples to the mainland for results.
We also have the latest blood coagulation analyzer, the Insight Labs Veterinary Coagulation Analyzer. It is capable of checking coagulation times (PT/PTT) with just a drop of blood vs. the older models that required venipuncture and a larger volume of blood. This is important because, in the case of bleeding disorders, the less blood taken (without actual venipuncture), the safer it is for your pet.
With our own ultrasound machine, we never miss a cystocentesis, which is a way to collect a sterile urine sample by pulling urine directly from the bladder using a needle. This means more comfort for your pet since we don't have to make repeated needle sticks searching in vain for the bladder.
With our ultrasound, we can also visualize obvious bladder masses, crystals or stones, quickly detect free abdominal or thoracic fluid, pericardial effusion, obstructions, etc. in house. Although we are not radiologists capable of performing full ultrasounds, it is very helpful to be able to produce an immediate result with our own basic ultrasonography rather than waiting up to several weeks to see the one radiologist on island. With time and practice, we hope to be able to offer more complete ultrasonography in the future.
DIAGNOSTICS/TECHNOLOGY FOR PROBLEMS OF THE NOSE AND EAR: We now have multiple Storz scopes with working channels small enough for cat and small dog nasal passages. This means we can visualize, biopsy and remove foreign bodies from the smallest of passages. We can also examine the deeper ear canal and more readily remove polyps, foreign objects or deeply packed waxy debris. Most importantly, we even have scopes tiny enough to visualize a kitten urethra in case of a life-threatening urinary obstruction. This happened to a sweet boy kitty named Carrot, who lives at our clinic. Carrot and his siblings Mac and Cheese are up for adoption. For photos, go to www.honpet.com and select "Adoptions!".
LASER TECHNOLOGY: We now have the latest Companion K-laser available for surgery as well as palliative care after surgery. We are especially excited to use the laser to help pets in pain. It will also aid in the healing of soft tissue injuries and chronic arthritis.
SURGICAL: We have decreased the spay and neuter prices to make these procedures more affordable. The packages are all inclusive for your pet's safety, which is our number one priority. All patients receive pre-anesthetic bloodwork, IV catheter and IV fluids during the procedure, intubation, dedicated anesthesia monitoring, pain medications and antibiotics as needed post op. Rechecks or revisions in case of complications (so long as proper after care is followed) are covered.
IMPROVED ANESTHESIA: We also have available a sevoflurane gas anesthetic machine with oxygen concentrator. While much more expensive than traditional isoflurane, it can provide for smoother induction and recovery from anesthesia. The oxygen concentrator ensures that, as long as there is electricity, we will never run out of anesthesia. Furthermore, for all surgical procedures we now have a dedicated technician to monitor anesthesia continuously. This means safer surgery for your pet since any problem can be detected immediately.
Our vet team is delighted to welcome you to the official website for The Honolulu Pet Clinic, your comprehensive animal care resource in Honolulu HI. We are committed to providing our patients with a lifetime of optimal health and wellness through our skilled, compassionate veterinary care services, equipment and techniques. For 30 years, our staff has been providing excellent care to the furry companions in Honolulu. We're confident that once you get to know us and experience our dedication to your pet's well-being, you'll rely on us as your trusted veterinary advisors for many years to come.
The Right Veterinarians for Your Furry Family Members
The Honolulu Pet Clinic was founded on veterinary excellence, a tradition we maintain to this day. Founding veterinarian Dr. Roger Kondo originally set the standard, devoting decades of skill and expertise to establishing our sterling reputation.

Dr. Kondo, Dr. Hsu and Dr. Barrett continue to provide a mix of skill, experience, insight and compassion that our patients and their owners truly appreciate. Each veterinarian, and every member of our staff, has a genuine love for animals and a desire to help pets like yours experience their best health.
Comprehensive Vet Services for All Needs and Situations

We can treat lacerations, fractures, poisoning, digestive crises, bloats and foreign body ingestion, heat stroke and many other life-and-death scenarios.
- Surgery - Our surgical skills can resolve internal organ problems, treat cancer, extract a diseased tooth, ensure a healthy birth, sexually sterilize your pet and more.
- Support services - We offer services such as behavioral counseling and boarding to help support your pet's quality of life.
- At The Honolulu Pet Clinic, we treat your pets like the valued family members they are.

Basically, it's Asian version of Hollywood Walk of Fame.
|The night view.
|Hong Kong Museum of Art
As you can see, Avenue of Stars is just located along the Hong Kong Museum of Art. It's easily reached by taking the MRT. You may need to walk a short distance before reaching the Avenue of Stars.
|The famous cruise, Aqua Luna.
|Another modern cruise.
There is light and sound show named Symphony of Lights staged at 8pm every night. Frankly speaking, it was quite boring but considering this show combines interactive lights with musical effect of those significant building from both Hong Kong Island and Kowloon restrict, I think it's worth to watch.
|Symphony of Lights in action #1.
|Symphony of Lights in action #2.
|Symphony of Lights in action #3.
Don't say I don't share some tips with you. To get the best view of Symphony of Lights, stand at the bar side along the promenade, facing the Victoria Harbor. If you sit at the staircase opposite Hong Kong Museum of Art, you'll definitely annoyed by the big group of foreign tourists who have no basic manners in the public, you know what I mean.
|The stage.
|The Nine Red Pillars inscribing the cinematic history of Hong Kong of hundred years.
Avenue of Stars was under a minor reconstruction, we did not managed to take photos of two statues, which I believed both were Bruce Lee. However, one of the statue wasn't covered so took a shot of it.
|Bruce Lee
|The statuette of Hong Kong Film Awards
Our poses were just amateur level compared to the local. I've seen some of them took super natural yet creative photo with all these sculptures.
Just for your information, along the waterfront, there were plenty of photography stalls. All of stall owners are registered photographers, and to make themselves outstanding among all the stalls, they did offer variety of services, such as photo-editing and costume rental. Just pick your favorite stall, pose and wait for 20 minutes to get your photo done!
What's Avenue of Stars if without hand prints and autographs?
There are actually more! But since I only knew few so that's all from me. Signing off, have a great day readers!

Learn about the WorkshopLearn about the Training System
With our 2-Day, intensive workshop and 7-day document turnaround, together with ongoing coaching and support, we help you get your core processes followed by everyone faster and with less effort.
All Certified Process Optimizers™ are Lean Experts, bringing a Lean mindset to optimizing your core processes. This will help your teams smoke out waste, inefficiencies, and gaps that may be missed doing it on their own.
With our cloud based Training System Partnership, you can now house your processes in a secure, online platform, embed photos and training videos, link to procedural documents and create tests to ensure your employees are learning the material in one module before moving to the next.
All Certified Process Optimizers™ are trained in EOS® and purely facilitate following The Three-Step Process Documenter™. We speak the EOS® language and know the EOS® tools and process inside and out.
The Process Optimizer™ was born out of a frustration that Master Facilitator, Certified EOS Implementer®, and Best Selling Author Michael Erath experienced when working with companies running on EOS® – procrastination when it came to strengthening their Process Component™. After many years of helping companies implement EOS®, Michael discovered that there were two main reasons they were slow to define and document their processes:
1 – They struggled to find and prioritize the time to invest over the 2-3 quarters it normally takes to do it on their own
2 – They didn't have somebody on their team who was a strong, "process-minded" person to lead the effort
To solve this problem, Michael called in his friend and Lean Expert, Heidi Berger, a Certified Management Accountant, MBA and Lean Green Belt, who in addition to years of Process work in both retail and distribution spent ten years at P.F. Chang's as the VP of Planning and Analysis, VP of Financial Operations and Risk, and most recently VP of Business Transformation. Together, they spent several months building, refining and systemizing the Process Optimizer™.
In the Process Optimizer™, you will normally accomplish in less than 2 weeks what typically takes two to three quarters to do on your own. As a result, you get to core processes consistently followed be everyone faster and benefit from a quicker realization of improved consistency and scalability.
During the onsite workshop, a Certified Process Optimizer™ will work with the Leadership Team members responsible for each of the core processes in a series of 90 to 120-minute sessions, together with a handful of your best employees who execute steps in their respective processes. In those sessions, the teams will be led through a mapping of the process, smoking out issues within the process, establishing ownership of the steps in the process, and assigning appropriate measurables for the process. From there, your Certified Process Optimizer™ will create a first version document of your core processes – your "Franchise Prototype" – and an Issues List by department for your teams to focus on inside their departmental meetings to further refine and improve their processes. If you really want to take your on-boarding and training to the next level, you can use our recommended Onboarding and Training System where your core processes can be loaded into a platform where you can embed training videos and create tests to ensure everyone is progressing through the process training as expected.
All of this will be completed and delivered to you within one week of the conclusion of your workshop so you can focus on getting your processes fully followed and delegated as appropriate.
After the documents are delivered, your Certified Process Optimizer™ will schedule follow up calls in 30, 90 and 180 days to answer any questions and to ensure that you are taking the appropriate next steps to get maximum value out of systemizing your business.

Tip #30: Get outside and be at one with nature (or at least take a walk in the park or something).
The Why: There are four main reasons why stepping outside and going on a mini adventure amongst the flowers and the trees can help a person overcome anxiety.
Some of the things said may sound cliche, but stick with me here. Honestly, it helps.
Firstly, getting outside gets you some vital vitamin D.
Vitamin D has been proven to boost the mood, and reduce the symptoms of depression and anxiety.
The link between the serotonin- releasing part of your brain, and Vitamin D has been widely documented.
Imagine millions of photons all smiling on their trip down from the sun, ready to fuel your body with happiness and joy!(Actually that sounds kind of terrifying, so maybe don't)
It's no wonder we feel so much happier when the sun is shining!
Getting outside means you catch some rays, and some happy hormones.
Secondly, sometimes stepping outside of ourselves and our problems can be a good thing.
When you are in an anxious mood, you can easily get sucked into the negative thought spirals.
It's easy to feel like all your problems are closing in at once, and we begin to associate
our inside space with feeling trapped by the weight of our panic.
Next time this begins to happen, step out.
Going outside and getting some fresh air into your lungs (which will also help you breathe easier) allows you to take a step back from your space and your thoughts before they become toxic.
Changing your environment is key to getting a new perspective, which is key to silencing those ever-encroaching negative spin-cycles.
Thirdly, being around nature gives you some perspective and makes you feel like something bigger than yourself
When you have anxiety, your problems can completely take over your mind. Your doom cycle begins and the world feels very small and dark.
Being amongst nature makes you realise how small your problems are in comparison to the large and beautiful world that exists out there.
When I feel anxious, I often think about the sheer scale of the universe, and how amazing it truly is that on this rock hurtling around a star that is just one of billions in our galaxy alone that we exist.
Thinking about life, the universe and everything on this grand scale makes me realise how tiny my issue actually was, and how in the grand scheme of things, it's actually pretty unimportant.
This is not to say that our issues aren't valid, or don't matter. Of course they very much do. But when anxiety turns a molehill into a mountain, it's often a good idea to put it back into perspective.
Being around the sheer beauty of nature allows us to feel part of something much bigger than ourselves.
We realise that we are part of a complex ecosystem that sustains our amazing planet, and that is something no one can take away from us, no matter how bad things seem to have gone.
Our home.

My first thought for a title for this post was 'Keeping Those Balls In The Air' but I realised that this sounded rather rude. However, it is rather a good description of my creative life
So, to explain myself…
I have a horrible habit of getting obsessed by something, learning everything I can about the subject and then either getting bored with it, or, more usually becoming diverted by another obsession while I am still obsessed with the first. Which would be fine except there are really not enough hours in my waking day to fit everything in. At this current moment, my list of 'things about which I have a great deal of useless (to most people) knowledge is, in no particular order:
- Early 14th century Medieval history
- Celtic mythology
- Wolves
- Ecology
- Special Forces
- Viruses and diseases
- Writing techniques
- Felting
- Pyrography
- Beeswax candle making
- Herbal medicine
All of these things give me an 'oooooh' feeling when I find out something new about them. All of them make me weak at the knees. In other words, I am passionate about them. Multi-passionate.
This has been a problem. Not so much for me, but for other people. To the mainstream culture of today it is usual to pick a career that you may find, hopefully, at least a bit interesting when you are at some tender age, go to university to study that career, and then find a job in it – although the last bit is not quite as easy to do these days. Usually people end up not really knowing what they want to do, or what they feel passionate about at all. But in any case, traditional wisdom states that you should only have ONE TRUE CALLING… not anything from two to twenty-two for heaven's sake. And because it is a problem for other people, those people have then made it my problem by frowning on my butterfly methods of working. I used to feel somehow freaky. I used to feel like no-one took me seriously. I used to feel like a multi-sided peg trying to fit into a narrow circular hole.
I felt alone. But then I discovered I wasn't the only one! By chance I came upon the term 'multi-potentialite' which then led me to Emilie Wapnick's excellent site Putty-Like. It is all about being multi-passionate and, more importantly, successfully multi-passionate! Here is Emilie speaking at TED and explaining the whole darn thing a great deal better than I can:
I now know where I'm going and it is not so much a straight path as an infinite slinky shape. My passions, I now realise, can be grouped around writing and craft-work, which means I can indulge myself and still be productive and fit things into my working day – it's just a matter of organising myself into projects that are current, in preparation, or are still future ideas. In that way I can still work on everything I want to and not get bored. I feel more relaxed working on what's in front of me at any one time because I don't feel any more that I have to 'choose' between passions. And so I am happier, saner and a good deal more motivated than at any time in the past. I hope this has been of use to someone out there – to any who have felt the same as me. Being multi-passionate can sometimes be difficult, but above all, it is a blessing, and if that's who you are, good luck to you.

Our singer Gary had sore throat on that very day, probably because of him drinking the night before. Moreover, we only took the practice seriously a few days before the audition, so the overall performance was definitely below par.
The song we performed is Gotta Catch 'Em All (Pokémon Theme Song)
, which Gary sang before during Rockfest 2012 in the last semester when I was in Sweden for exchange, also which he doesn't like to perform, and I have no idea why 'cause I kinda like to perform this kind of song. He was only more comfortable with performing the song after making the verse acoustic. Weird Gary.
Thanks Gary for being the driver of the day. We spent quite a while to setup the amps at the audition venue. I think the committee has no one with sufficient experience dealing with band logistic. I was pretty panic when the bass amp didn't work. I asked Justin for help, and the epic moment started. Justin plugged out the power plug and analyzing the combination of colors with earth/life for electrical wiring. He then asked the committee members about this and I bet they're scratching their head. In the end he found the correct combination from the internet and the amp was fixed. Justin is the true engineer seriously. I don't even know a single shit of this and the way of applying my knowledge even if I knew.

As you can see, not really impressive, and my harmonizing was pitchy oh gosh. At least it's over, and each of us received a participating certificate, like what we always did in high school.

No matter what the season is, stripes are timeless and will never go out of style, especially summer stripes!
While matching shorts suits are all the rage this summer, I'm having a little fun mixing stripes pieces like this striped piqué cotton blazer from Ralph Lauren and paperbag shorts from Zara and creating my own shorts suit.
Like any bold prints, stripes in different fabrics and textures can go very well together.
For this outfit, the subtle stripes from the cotton piqué blazer offset the wider stripes from the shorts. To get a more polished and effortless chic look, opt for the stripes to go in the same direction, like all vertical stripes for this outfit.
Try a striped top with a pair of denim or a bodysuit with linen pants. These are other chic combinations as well.
Now, if you're looking for a more dramatic effect, you can play with the print and wear stripes in different directions. Just keep your separates in the same color hue so your outfit doesn't look too busy.
If you want to go for a more neutral look and get that instant French girl look, go for striped printed on neutrals and flip the colors with each staple for a chic contrast!
What about you? Are you having fun mixing stripes or bold prints?
Hope you enjoyed this summer outfit.
As always, thanks for reading.

Columnists' opinions are their own and may not necessarily represent the views of The Chronicle.
Hold up. Before you email me, I am not saying that more kids should be bullied and support bullies, but rather that those who have experienced bullying can take away positive skills. Of course I am aware of the countless negative effects bullying has: depression, suicide, and drug abuse, just to name a few. But, many individuals have taken away important life lessons from these negative experiences. Some even go as far as to say they would not be where they are in life without being tormented in school.
Rihanna, Lady Gaga, Tyra Banks, Chris Rock. All of these successful people were bullied when they were younger. Lots of successful people, in fact, can remember being teased in school. It gave them the edge to want to get ahead.
"I'm grateful. I think those experiences were strategically put together by God for the preparation of being in the music industry," Rihanna told Glamour. "It's so easy for me to deal with the (expletive) now."
Comedian Chris Rock can also remember back to his schools days, but stays positive. "While that experience could've defined Rock's life in a negative way — crippling him with self-doubt — it instead empowered him to believe in himself when no one else did. From a young age, he was already gaining the tough skin necessary that has helped him thrive in comedy."
So, while this is a scarring experience for many, some have found a way to use their bullies as stepping stones to get to their goals. 77% of students are bullied or have personally experienced bullying. 20% of students admit to being a bully. There will always be bullies, but there will always also be people who have found how to overcome them.

About Us
We are a small, niche market, on-line, mail-order company. There are only three of us in the office and we all multi-task so any one of us can answer your questions. A small company is a bonus for the consumer because when you call or email you will either reach us or hear back from us quite soon. And six months later the same people are likely to be there when you call. We believe in the lost art of "the customer is always right."
Our company was started by a former professional athlete who previously had always been on the cutting edge of health promoting nutritional products for his own use. In 1999 he was so impressed by the homeopathic HGH oral spray he was taking that he decided to start selling it on his own. In January of 2000 the first sale was made. Originally marketed to seniors for anti-aging, athletes from around the world are now discovering its benefits and purchasing it on-line.
We sell three products: Homeopathic HGH Oral Spray, Moringa Zinga Capsules, and Freeze Dried Aloe Vera. Each product is sold on an independent website. We only sell online and have no physical locations. Our products are not sold in health food locations or vitamin shops as we have not marketed the products there. We would if we could. We do, however, sell to many workout facilities, Alternative Doctors, and Chiropractors who value the quality and customer service we provide.
We are corporately owned by Pros, Inc. out of Atlanta, Georgia. Our main office is in Boynton Beach, Florida and we have a subsidiary office on Long Island in New York. Our products ship out of Austin, TX and sometimes out of Boynton Beach.
The goal of our business model upon start up was to sell the highest quality products available to the public. We searched the globe for the best homeopathic lab to make our HGH oral spray. This company is in Iowa and so everything about us is made in the USA. There are plenty of products out there that are equal to ours, but none is better.
We appreciate your business!
11/9/11 - Living healthy just means eating right and exercising consistently, right? Well, that is not necessarily true. There are many other things that you can do to make sure you are living as healthy as you possibly can. A lot of people just stop at nutrition and training and forget about the rest of the techniques to live healthy. Full body detoxification is one of those techniques that people don't really think about when they are getting healthier. This post will help you set up a full body detox program to make sure you are cleaning out your body of unwanted substances. read more

11/21/11 - To continue on with our theme of tracking your progress, we have created a post to display the importance of tracking your nutrition.

Once you get the hang of it, you will be eating just like you are supposed to and meet your nutritional and weight goals much faster. read more

Alexander the Great – Greek king and conqueror
Alexander III, king of Macedonia, is known as Alexander the Great. He reigned over Greece, conquered the Persians, and marched as far as what are now known as Egypt, India, Iraq, Iran and Afghanistan. He succeeded in forging the largest Western empire of the ancient world.
Alexander was born in 356 BC in Pella, the capital of Macedonia. Aristotle, the Greek philosopher, gave him lessons. The boy's main interest was war.
In 338 BC Alexander's father, Philip II, brought all the Greek city-states except Sparta under his rule. Young Alexander commanded one part of the Macedonian army.
Philip II was killed in 336 BC and 20-year-old Alexander became king.

New Controversial American Published Complimentary Boracay Lifestyle Magazine To Launch This Summer | 2016 American Tourism Season Kick-Off The American Press Service (T.A.P.S.)
A Controversial New, American Published, Complimentary, Internationally-Distributed Boracay Lifestyle Magazine to launch just in time for the 2016 US Summer Tourism Season.| The American Press Service (T.A.P.S.)
One of the world's most-beautiful beaches and most-popular tourist destinations seeks to have a more long-term relationship with its millions of global-citizens and guests.
Most people know the main beach, exclusive parties, surfand henna shops; however, the real-life of the island of Boracay still remains a mystery to most of the world.
US publishers intend to change all of that. To showcase 'real-life' on the island: real estate, investments, members-only beach clubs, the locals, successful residents, they go on a undercover immersion tour a launch a new complimentary, Western-centric magazine.
The new American-published, in-print, on-line and digitally internationally distributed Boracay 'undercover' lifestyle Magazinette will debut its sexy new Filitaliana Cover Girl Ambra Gutierrez, captured; ravishing and hair-blown-fresh out of the water, by Icon photographer Dix Perez at on-location at The Private KAMA Beach Club in Boracaythis August 2016 just in time for the American summer tourism season. Inside, readers and fans can enjoy an exclusive look at some of the islands hottest private-members-only parties, hidden beaches, philanthropy, local hot spots, celebs and the largest Boracay island lifestyle business directory –ever!
Boracay Island Trailblazers: Kama Beach Club
Kama Beach Club; a beach-front, private, members-only, Hollywood country club-style beach club, tops the US publisher's controversial Boracay 100 Best People, Places & Things List. The list raised eye-brows as the only true-list, containing off-the-cuff, quaint, small and largely unheard of people, places and things seemingly missed by the popular mainstream local media.
A top pick for The Publisher's 100 Boracay Best People, Places & Things Lists, and atrue-Boracay trailblazer, Kama Beach Club is unique; as it is one of the islands only beach clubs which caters to the more long-term, residency, return-oriented island-lovers whom desire to escape the tourists. Kama, is one of the many new and emerging hot spots on the island which cater to the fast-growing 'after-tourism' clientele. Also on 'The 100 Lists' is Lingganay, The Shangri La, the popular Westcoast USA FilAm import House DJ; PJ Paradise of WeRWolvz, Wave Beachside Bar & Loungeand Mayor John P. Yap.
The 'after-tourism' market includes those who are either locals who wish to enjoy the island away from the popular sometimes overly-festive tourists, tourists who are seeking multiple-return visits, and/or individuals and entrepreneurs looking to invest in the island.
KA&CO; the multi-award winning, American international business development group, with The Tiongson Group are publishers of The Philippines Magazine International, Philippines INK, PH: CIO, as well as, the new Boracay Lifestyle Limited Special Edition along with their Boracay Island strategic partners, sponsors and stakeholders, aim to promote the islands' 'lifestyle' beyond its massive tourism industry. The goal is to cater to and promote a more-long-term residency and investor-minded image of one of the world's most-popular tourist destinations.
"Believe it or not, Boracay Island at-large is relatively undiscovered. Tourists stay mainly on the beautiful white sand beaches, beach front boutiques, resorts, restos and hotels, and rarely experience the real-Boracay, true-lifestyle…private beach clubs, such as Kama…and, the fabulous residences, land developments, amazing local culture and overall island charm of Visayas and the Bisaya people are missed. We intend to change all of that by showing our fans that 'life' on the island is even better than the vacation…"-US Executive Publisher, Kareem Jackson spoke to The American Press Service in an interview in Manila before his flight to Visayas, Boracay Island to debut the new magazine concept to stakeholders.(Above Right: US Executive Publisher, Kareem Jackson and Cover Girl Ambra Gutierrez On-Location at Kama Beach Club.)
Guaranteed International Distribution.The Magazine is complimentary in-print, on-line and in digital format. The Boracay Lifestyle Limited Special Edition,will showcase and distribute to over 500 local Boracay Island businesses in its Boracay Lifestyle Directory Listings –for free.
In addition, as part of its 'Success is for everyone, US Publishers Fair Advertising Brief' advertising in the magazine is set at just around $199 or P8,000per page; the lowest ad rates in the US and the Philippines.(Businesses who desire to be showcased or advertise in the publication are encouraged to contact firstname.lastname@example.com for requirements and specifications before July 1st, 2016)
The concept will promote small, mid and large-sized businesses, as well as popular local entrepreneurs, residents and real estate. An all-inclusive showcase of the island, from top destinations such as the members only, Kama Beach Club, as well as the local artists, restaurants, real estate and even the small, unique businesses now only known by residents. Plus, tips on successful island living. The US Publisher's intend to promote long-term residency, real estate and business investments, as well as, the lifestyle which goes along with it.

Agnieszka Futa, otherwise known as Sawayaka, is an artist out of Poland. Not only does he have an amazing style, but some inspiring influences.
You can see Japanese woodblock art & manga in her work, but at the same time there is that "underground" kind of look that a fair amount of comic illustrators have. The look has this nice lo-fi quality to it, almost as if its been done on paper as opposed to digitally.
Head on over and take a look at the rest of her work.
