99.co is a technology company founded to help home seekers easily sieve through dubious or weak property listings, to quickly and safely navigate the property jungle. As part of their ramp up towards a full-scale launch, we helped them create a new strategic position to better deliver their messages clearly to their customers and internal stakeholders.
External communications were broken into three pillars, Technical, Practical and Emotional to simplify and avoid overloaded messaging. Photography guides helped orientate the brand's visual usage with a focus on the use of emotive imagery.
The visual identity reinterpreted 99.co's original font and colour to present the new brand idea of helping home seekers home in on their new homes. This "target" device was then broken up and expanded to bring greater flexibility in use across collaterals and mediums.
A detailed UI guide was also created to help expand their brand identity over multiple platforms, while remaining consistent and user friendly.
Often times, great products may underperform because of poor communications in the marketplace. With 99.co, they were quite well known but people were often confused about where the brand stood. We sought to help them gain reach by putting greater emphasis on their commitments to customers' needs; instead of explaining technical features we helped 99.co explain their benefits.
Armed with a brand toolkit and a clear messaging direction, 99.co's internal team is able to continue extending the adaptive identity independently as the brand continues to grow.

Q: Diagnosing OutOfMemory issues with Image Processing API in ASP.NET Running OutOfMemory in my relatively simple web API which is deployed to an Azure server. I download two images using the same method called DownloadImageFromUrl(string url).. I then just draw some text on these, do resizing, and return the image. One of them is a relatively large image file, anywhere from 1-12 MB.
Here is the implementation of my DownloadImageFromUrl, which the error messages (and heap analysis, see below) are pointing me to. Both methods result in the same errors:
  private Bitmap DownloadImageFromUrl(string url)
    {
        //try
        //{
        //    // METHOD A:
        //    WebRequest request = System.Net.WebRequest.Create(url);
        //    WebResponse response = request.GetResponse();
        //    Stream responseStream = response.GetResponseStream();
        //    return new Bitmap(responseStream);
        //}
        //catch (WebException e)
        //{
        //    return null;
        //}
        //METHOD B:
        try
        {
            using (WebClient client = new WebClient())
            {
                byte[] data = client.DownloadData(url);
                using (MemoryStream mem = (data == null) ? null : new MemoryStream(data))
                {
                    return (data == null || mem == null) ? null : (Bitmap)Image.FromStream(mem);
                }
            }
        }
        catch (WebException e)
        {
            return null;
        }
    }

My API handles singular requests very well. The problem comes in when blasting it with requests. When I send 20 all at the same time, the memory shoots up to over 1g and throws OutOfMemoryExceptions. When checking out snapshots of the heap, I notice that there is a new memorystream object created for each API call (20 of them) and it alone is using 30,410,112 bytes at the climax of the memory spike.
Can someone help me to alter my API to handle more user requests at once? Strangely enough, creating more instances of my app on Azure actually yielded worse results.
Edit: I've also considered using ImageMagick.NET in order to handle the drawing and resizing of images but this will require a big overhaul.

Being Bradfords: Five on Friday.
I have been binge watching this show for the past week. My friend Ashley told me about the book and that the show would be starting this summer but I never got a chance to read/ watch it. Since Mark is gone for work this week I finally decided to watch an episode. Needless to say I got hooked pretty quickly! I love this time period and I find the whole NASA program fascinating! It seems a lot like the military life that we experience as wives (with some notable differences lol) so I feel like I can relate with them about some things. I plan on starting the book soon! Anyone else watch the show?? It's on ABC on Thursdays at 8:00 p.m. and I highly recommend it!
I ordered a few of these bracelets this week after reading the post about them on Cheers: Y'all (one of my favorite blogs). The proceeds benefit a little girl, Charlotte, who is suffering from Meconium Aspiration Syndrome. I don't know the family personally but her story has touched me. The money will help the family with hospital bills during this tough time. I love seeing people who step out to support each other, especially during times when hope seems so meek. Not only are these bracelets adorable (that's just a bonus) but they are great prayer reminders.
My mother in law got me this cute necklace and I finally found the perfect outfit to wear it with. This is a terrible picture and you can't see that I'm wearing peachy/ pink colored pants to match but you can at least see the necklace lol. The necklace is from Charming Charlie's, which is a great store for inexpensive accessories. I've found really cute purses here in the past as well!
I am always on the hunt for the perfect foundation. I like light- medium coverage foundation that lasts all day, keeps me semi-matte, and looks natural. This is hard to find because most mattifying foundations don't look natural and most light coverage foundations don't stay all day. Also, finding the perfect color is always a challenge! I watch a bunch of Beauty Gurus on YouTube and I'm constantly trying foundations they suggest. A few of them mentioned the Born This Way foundation by Too Faced saying it was awesome. I checked a few different bases in San Diego to see if they had it and finally found it in Coronado. I love that the NEX has so many options for make up! I have been using the Born This Way foundation for over a week now and I love it. I still get a little shiny throughout the day but I think that just has to do with the fact that it's been super hot and humid here lately. The foundation looks very natural. You can still see freckles and small imperfections through it, which I like. I don't want it to look like I layered a bunch of paint on my face lol. The website says it's medium to full coverage but I think that's just if you build it up. It doesn't appear heavy at all. It's a little pricey at $39 but I find that most high(er)-end foundations are around this price point. It has really good ingredients and promotes hydrated skin without an oily appearance. It also has Alpine Rose in it which brightens the skins appearance, which is always a bonus! There are a ton of colors to choose from and right now I am using Natural Beige. I'll be purchasing a lighter color for the fall. I definitely recommend trying it out!

While Twilight Tear is generally regarded as the best filly ever bred by the legendary Calumet Farm, there is little reason to doubt that Real Delight was a close second. She met and defeated the best of the American older females of 1952 regularly during the second half of her 3-year-old season and was accounted the best American filly or mare under handicap conditions as well as the best 3-year-old filly. The one thing she did not do was to defeat males. As a broodmare, she produced three stakes winners and became the primary conduit for the family of her dam, Calumet foundation mare Blue Delight.
Highweighted at 126 pounds on the Daily Racing Form's Free Handicap for American fillies and mares of 1953, 1 pound above the official champion handicap female, Sickle's Image.
A tall, strong, handsome bay mare (reports of her height varied from 16.2 to 17.0 hands), Real Delight possessed an excellent shoulder, good bone, wide hips and fine balance. She was slightly long in her loin coupling. She did not race at 2 due to the presence of a splint near one knee, was intermittently sore throughout the latter half of her 3-year-old season and suffered from leg trouble again at 4, leading to her retirement. She had the natural speed to win gate to wire but could be placed as her jockey desired and usually stalked the pace rather than setting it. Her disposition was excellent and she was a good doer.
Heliolight (1957, by Helioscope) won 4 of 30 starts. She produced 1971 Sport Page Handicap winner Lonesome River (by Rough'n Tumble) and is the second dam of five stakes winners including Grade II winner Eminency and Grade III winner Katonka. She is the third dam of 1980 Preakness Stakes (USA-I) winner Codex, multiple Grade II winners Give Me Strength and Talakeno and Grade III winners Smooth Runner and Hidden Assets.
Plum Cake (1958, by Ponder) won a division of the Jasmine Stakes at 3. She is the dam of multiple Grade II winner Sugar Plum Time (by Bold Ruler); 1971 Juvenile Stakes winner Plum Bold (by Bold Ruler), the South African champion sire of 1980/1981; and stakes-placed Sweet Tooth (by On-and-On), the 1977 Kentucky Broodmare of the Year. Through Sweet Tooth, Plum Cake is the second dam of 1977 American champion 3-year-old filly Our Mims, National Museum of Racing Hall of Fame member and 1990 American champion sire Alydar, and 1980 Mother Goose Stakes (USA-I) winner Sugar and Spice, and is the third dam of Grade II winner Cinnamon Sugar. Through other daughters, Plum Cake is also the second dam of 1982 American champion 3-year-old filly Christmas Past and Grade III winner Pruneplum and the third dam of 2002 Oaklawn Handicap (USA-I) winner Kudos and multiple Grade III winner Christmas Gift.
No Fooling (1963, by Tom Fool) won the 1967 Sunland Park Handicap. He was of no account as a sire.
Spring Sunshine (1966, by Nashua) won the 1968 Golden Rod Stakes. She is the dam of multiple Grade III winner Raise a Cup (by Raise a Native) and 1987 Juvenile Stakes (USA-III) winner Lucky So n' So (by Alydar). She is also the second dam of Grade II winner Dazzle Me Jolie and the third dam of Grade III winners Bright Again and Rare Pick.
Foaled in Kentucky, Real Delight was bred and owned by Calumet Farm. She was trained by the father-and-son training team of Ben Jones and Horace "Jimmy" Jones. She died in 1969 and was buried in the Calumet Farm horse cemetery.
Real Delight is inbred 4x4 to 1906 Derby Stakes winner Spearmint. She is a full sister to 1953 Kentucky Oaks winner Bubbley, second dam of multiple Grade III winner Who Duzzit. She is also a full sister to the stakes-winning colts All Blue and Kentucky Pride and a half sister to 1956 Kentucky Oaks winner Princess Turia (by Heliopolis), dam of 1968 American co-champion 3-year-old male Forward Pass (by On-and-On) and Grade II winner Turn to Turia (by Best Turn). In addition, Real Delight is a half sister to Whirling Lark (by Whirlaway), dam of 1955 Gotham Stakes winner Go Lightly (by Faultless) and third dam of multiple Grade I winner El Senor, Grade II winner Carry the Banner and Grade III winners Jamila Kadir and Strawberry Wine.
Real Delight's dam Blue Delight won six stakes races including the 1940 Arlington Lassie Stakes and the 1942 Arlington Matron Handicap. She is a full sister to multiple stakes winner Lightspur and is out of juvenile stakes winner Chicleight (by Chicle). Chicleight, in turn, is a half sister to multiple stakes winners Siskin (by Épinard), Hygro (by Épinard) and Errard (by Challenger II) and is out of the Honeywood mare Ruddy Light, herself the winner of the 1923 Clipsetta Stakes.
Real Delight is profiled in Chapter 19 of John Sparkman's Foundation Mares: How Outstanding Female Families Shaped the American Breeding Industry (2008, Thoroughbred Times Books).
Real Delight is profiled in Chapter 8 of Avalyn Hunter's American Classic Pedigrees 1914-2002 (2003, Eclipse Press).
Real Delight's only loss at 3 was in an allowance race over 6.5 furlongs, probably a little short for her. Carrying an apprentice rider instead of Hall of Fame jockey Eddie Arcaro, she lost by only a head to future American champion sprinter White Skies. It was Real Delight's only start against males in 1952 and her only loss of that season. In her only other start against the boys, the 1953 Grassland Handicap, her leg trouble recurred and she finished unplaced.
Real Delight was the fourth filly to complete the Kentucky Oaks/Coaching Club American Oaks double, a feat previously accomplished by Princess Doreen (1926), Wistful (1949) and How (1951). The fillies that have since won both races are Dark Mirage (1968), Davona Dale (1979), Bold 'n Determined (1980), Goodbye Halo (1988), Open Mind (1989), Lite Light (1991), Ashado (2004) and Princess of Sylmar (2013).
Real Delight was the second of a record four Kentucky Oaks winners for Arcaro, who also won with How (1951), Bubbley (1953) and Bug Brush (1958). Manuel Ycaza later tied Arcaro's overall record, but no jockey has equaled Arcaro's feat of winning the Oaks for three straight years.
Arcaro, who was the regular pilot for most of Calumet's stars, considered Real Delight to be the best filly or mare he ever rode.
The Real Delight Stakes was a race for 3-year-old fillies at Arlington Park.

Certainly, most current models of postmodernism based on the work of male writers are unable to find much possibility of affirmative political engagement among its many negational and disruptive strategies.
The researchers tested the power of negational identity in two experiments carried out late last year, just before the first party caucuses and primaries.
Highlighting one's negational identity as non-White," the authors conclude, "increased Latino and Asian support for a Black Presidential candidate, even without any coordination of interests (given the minor differences between the two frontrunners' policies).
