Nurturing the Next Generation of Sea Turtles...and Humans
By Mark Steinbuck, KEEN Grants and Community Specialist
In the southwestern Mexican state of Jalisco—hours away from the nearest notable name on the map—two KEEN Effect employees descend the Pacific Coast to dig deeper into one of our newest KEEN Effect grantees: The Careyes Foundation. Jalisco, it is locally touted, is where Mexico gets its Mexican culture: mariachi music, tequila, and sombreros. Outside of Jalisco's norm is the small village of Costa Careyes, a curated Mediterranean-style enclave with yellow and pink plaster buildings supporting cerulean tile roofs. Driving for hours through Jalisco, you'd never expect this place to be here.
Chris and I, members of the KEEN Effect team dedicated to taking action in pursuit of our values, know Mexico like the backs our hands. Our Spanish is immaculado. Chris knows all the vocabulary necessary to navigate the surf breaks and taco stands of Baja California, and I recall a decent amount of basic Spanish phrases picked up over a decade ago. On the long, coastal drive south from Puerto Vallarta, through the patchy campesino ranches and tropical forests that stock your pantries with pineapples, tomatoes, and avocados, we impress each other with our best attempts: "The man has a bad dog": El hombre tiene un perro malo; "I like tequila on the sea": me gusta tequila sobre la mer!; an ambitious "Where the hell is the next gas station?": Pardón señor, donde es la gasolina allá? Not polished, but it'll do.
¿Pero, quien sabe?… maybe this idea to visit our first Mexican KEEN Effect grant partner will work, or maybe I just planned us into ruin. Before leaving, I notice the state department has a travel advisory against nearly all of Mexico, and Jalisco isn't batting above average. Mexico has a bit of a bad rap stateside these days, but I am resolved to shake off the media craze surrounding the narcos and banditos. Not that these problems don't exist, just that blind, naïve optimism is often what gets adventure to the finish line. We could worry, but as locals say, "ya pa' qué?"
Rescuing thousands of baby sea turtles
We, now descended from El Norte, strike out in the afternoon from Costa Careyes toward the pristine Pacific coastline of Playa Teopa to meet with Careyes Foundation's staff: Alejandro, Sarah, Nacho, Kate, Katie, and Noelle. Through our grant program, Careyes Foundation is working alongside 10 local villages surrounding the tiny, developed enclave of Costa Careyes to help build positive, resilient, communities through outdoor experiences and education. How could we not visit?
Positive community development doesn't happen in a flash, and it usually doesn't happen from outsiders bearing sandals.
But positive community development doesn't happen in a flash, and it usually doesn't happen from outsiders bearing sandals. The Careyes Foundation finds success by working through the willingness of its partner communities, and that's why the whole staff, when not leading excursions, is in all 10 villages in the area every single week teaching school.
Filippo Brignone, local founder and president of Careyes Foundation, agrees this is the cornerstone of good development. "Every day we are in the villages," says Filippo. "Every day we understand what is happening and what the needs are. We work with the government, search for funds, and provide the necessary resources. Sometimes it is an ecology program, sometimes it is recreation, sometimes a health clinic, and sometimes it is a psychologist for kids and parents to talk to."
On the windy Playa Teopa, the hard work integrating into the community shows: Kate, Katie, Noelle and Sarah - all non-locals – openly embrace the mass of kids excited to hug them first, with smiling parents watching on. This is a program of friendships, not just development, and that's why Careyes Foundation will make a difference. Sarah Lerman, the foundation's director, elaborates: "With the KEEN Effect grant, we've been able to start one program, expand another, and secure transportation to bring children to the conservation center to learn about and help the sea turtle nesting, hatching, and releasing process. The kids have actively engaged in releasing these tiny little creatures that are basically dinosaurs!"
Most important, Careyes Foundation has Alejandro. Born and raised on the beaches of Costa Careyes, he has dedicated his life to stewarding the coastline and educating the local children on all of the amazingly beautiful biology around them, starting with this sea turtle rescue program over 35 years ago. When Alejandro started, there were practically no sea turtles seasonally returning to Playa Teopa, so he began hatching and releasing 10 turtles per season, eventually growing it to its height this year where he and the children will be releasing 2,300 turtles. Amazingly, over 1.5 million turtles have been hatched and released through Alejandro's program.
Showing the value of the wildlife and the ecosystems here really helps kids to understand why they should take care of where they live. They are a part of more than just their homes and community, but a part of nature as a whole.
After struggling to put up our nylon tents in 35mph winds, and listening to Alejandro's lesson on beach ecology, the kids from the pueblo of Emiliano Zapata ran to the nests, found some baby turtles struggling through the sand, and took them by hand to their destination at the edge of the waves. Before I dive in, Kate, Careyes' ecology program coordinator, interjects some quick translations for me: "Tonight we are setting some turtles free. We want to teach about the local species of sea turtles that come to these beaches, so the kids can be aware of the value of the animals that come and be more cognizant of protecting them. Showing the value of the wildlife and the ecosystems here really helps kids to understand why they should take care of where they live. They are a part of more than just their homes and community, but a part of nature as a whole.
The feeling of a brand new, endangered reptile emerging from its leathery egg and then flop around within my hands is unlike anything else on Earth, and is the kind of transformative experience that makes people want to protect local beaches forever.
Settling down with the wind at night, the sand infused within the deepest nooks of skin, our camp builds a fire, roasts marshmallows, and spends the night telling jokes and campfire stories across the crackling logs. I understand almost none of the jokes, but the children's laughs are infectious and add to the healing spirit of the day.
Pedaling through a Mexican pueblo
A 30-minute drive north of Playa Teopa, night gives way to dawn. The deep ocean blues of the Pacific coastal sky begin to gently glow above the dense, tropical fog trapped in the forested hills surrounding the rustic pueblo of Juan Gil Preciado. The fog settles on the rocky dirt tracks framing the village, on a blue nylon tarp securing the doorway of a crumbling store-front, and on the cobblestone ornamentation that encircles the village plaza, el jardín.
Later, the plaza will provide some shade and space for an informal micro-bazaar, and by midday the village will dry up, wrapped in the iconic dusty and hot Mexican day that keeps the tradition of siesta in business. But for now, the air is cool, humid, and welcoming—a perfect invitation to take a few dozen kids mountain biking to learn about the local ecology.
Nacho has been guiding bike trips alongside the rest of the Careyes entourage for the past year, holding two per month in a different village each time. A young man from Guadalajara (Jalisco's capital city), Nacho knows the needs and challenges of Mexican youth. And being an accomplished cyclist who rides his bike down long stretches of rural Mexican highway with less concern than I give during my morning Portland commute, he knows first-hand the transformative power of outdoor recreation.
The goal, says Nacho, is not just to get the rural children to have fun, exercise, and recreate, but rather to use the experience to seed a culture of engagement throughout the village: natural sciences, creative expression, environmental stewardship, and English-language learning. "The coolest part about our program is that the kids become the environmental police in their own communities," Nacho says. "They are teaching their siblings, their parents, their grandparents why it's important to keep it the way it is and not impact it more than necessary. They are the people influencing their own communities, and that is the best way to impact the local consciousness."
But why bike riding? Simple, Nacho tells me: the kids asked for it. Being a father of two young children myself, I know the futility of making kids do things they don't want to do. Like blending kale into a fruit smoothie, it is best to give the kids what they want and pepper in your ulterior motives unnoticed.
Not more than a few minutes after we arrive in three trucks filled with bicycles, helmets and a few dozen KEEN kids' Newport sandals, the youth of the village are already chasing the roosters with their bikes toward el jardin. The Newport sandals are key. We don't market these as such, but these are the best sandals available for kids that don't have brakes on their mountain bikes. (PSA: Don't try this at home, but one skilled placement of the fat rubber toe bumper between the rear tire and the bike frame and a veritable death machine turns into a decently controllable bike. Even the youngest kids pick up on it quickly, and instantly realize that I shelter my children way too much.)
As the sun rises, a few shopkeepers stir, and the mothers, brothers, sisters, and fathers of today's adventurers arrive in tow. The kids show excitement for what lies ahead: a long day on their bikes with their friends and their neighbors down a cart track pointed east that passes quickly out of the village, alongside the local cemetery, through a stone tunnel, and past a few miles of gardens, farms, pastures, and fallow lands that sustain Juan Gil.
The rocky trail that winds our motley crew of dozens of kids on bikes leads us to Alejandro on the edge of a swamp, set up and ready to direct the kids on a scavenger hunt for foraged biology lessons: seeds, slime, tropical fruits, feathers, bones, and other found biota.
Sarah notes that sometimes an abuela will make tacos or ceviche for everyone to share when the group arrives at a river or pond to make sure it is a really fun day for the whole family. Today we have quesadillas, and quesadillas don't get any better than straight out of an abuela's knapsack, filled with the cheese that probably came from the cow that lives on this very coastal Jalisco cow pasture where we sit. Fresh, creamy, salty… this is not just queso fresco, it is queso Careyes.
In the heat of midday, after organizing and learning about the scavenged objects, the kids grow tired and weary, ready for the ride home to their families and a siesta. In another week or two, it will be another local village's turn.
We, the adventurous travelers of KEEN, find Mexico to be endlessly charming and hospitable, despite our failing-grade Spanish. The people, the food, the culture, the weather… the value! Making grants all across the world as we do, it's striking to see how far a US dollar will go toward different programs in different geographies. In Mexico, our KEEN Effect grant helped to fund the entire year's-worth of daily environmental and educational programming for ten pueblos serving hundreds of kids on the southern coast of Jalisco.
We are a little sad to be home, standing at our desks looking out at the cloudy, rain-filled skies of Portland, but exceedingly proud of our grant to the Careyes Foundation, as they continue their amazing work to create the next generation of global environmental stewards. Although we are home, they move forward: Filipo reminds us: "We are here every day and doing it. We have somebody on the beach 365 days a year watching and protecting it in good weather or bad – and it is the same with our villages."

Q: Custom search template is showing 404 when adding query string I've created a custom theme and a page template page-search.php, because the original search will search under the homepage url.
The page works just fine without query string but when I add /?s=1 at the end of the URL I get a 404, why is that?
Thanks

U.S. Embassy Begins Construction of New Annex
Design-Build Award for New U.S. Embassy Office Annex
Design Award for New U.S. Embassy Annex
The new office annex for the U.S. Embassy Bangkok will support the continued expansion of U.S.-Thai diplomatic, security, and commercial relations and strengthen ties with the Thai people. The new building will modernize the U.S. Embassy's platform for providing Consular services and conducting diplomacy and represents the importance of our longstanding alliance with the Kingdom of Thailand. In more than two centuries of friendship, the United States and Thailand have strengthened cooperation in all sectors, from bilateral trade to international law enforcement to public health. The new annex will house U.S. agencies currently located in different facilities across Bangkok, centralize our existing operations, and further strengthen bilateral cooperation.
Annex construction will also significantly benefit the local economy. The United States will spend $625 million dollars on this project and employ approximately 2,000 local workers throughout the construction period. Located in Pathum Wan, a commercial district outside of the old city, the New Office Annex's large site features mature rain trees with impressive canopies that stretch almost 65 feet across, adding to the very green Lumpini Park area. SHoP Architects of New York is architect, and the construction contract was awarded in summer 2021 to B.L. Harbert International of Montgomery, Alabama.
A cosmopolitan and dynamic city, Bangkok is defined by glassy skyscrapers, a rich architectural heritage, a vibrant culture, and street life that draws visitors from around the world. The city is suffused as well with a lush, often intense tropical environment. The team endeavored to incorporate that dual nature into the Department of State's Bureau of Overseas Buildings Operations' (OBO) mission: to create secure, resilient, and sustainable projects that reflect American values and the best in American architecture, design, engineering, technology, sustainability, art, culture, and construction execution.
In reviewing the Embassy's needs, the team established goals to ensure the project would be a vital part of the U.S. Mission for at least fifty years: build safe and functional spaces for America's diplomatic work; create sustainable and resilient solutions specific to the site; allow for future adaptability and growth; and develop a design that reflects America's culture and values while being sensitive to local culture, climate, and traditions.
With over 1,000 staff members to accommodate, the team balanced a large space need, the preservation of landscape and outdoor space, and challenging climactic conditions of heat, rain, and humidity. Looking to Bangkok and its architectural traditions, the designers found a layered quality made up of a series of spaces to address shading, air circulation, and cover in a way that softens the transition between indoors and outdoors. Thai architecture creates this layering with elevated living quarters that provide shaded gathering spaces below.
The design of the new facility underscores the important diplomatic relationship between the United States and Thailand and is a concrete symbol of America's continued commitment to northern Thailand for generations to come.
The new campus design is organized into two zones. The south zone is the public side, including the Consular office building, public entrance pavilions, and Marine Security Guard Residence. The north zone is dedicated to "Back of House" functions, such as parking, warehouse, workshops, and the utility building.
The new consular design was inspired by the rich architectural landscapes and design traditions of northern Thailand. The design incorporates a lush landscape and a sala, a traditional Thai outdoor terrace that will be used for formal events. The new office building consists of four volumes separated by glazed links, reflecting traditional Lanna architecture with modules separated by public spaces. The design of the metal and glass-clad building envelope reflects the local tradition of layered screened architecture of Chiang Mai.
Resiliency & Stewardship
Inspired by Thailand's architectural heritage and sensitive to the Southeast Asian climate, the contemporary design blends Thai traditions with the best in American architecture, design, engineering, technology, and construction. The project targets Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Silver certification and incorporates many features designed to make the building more sustainable.
The permanent art collection, curated by OBO's Office of Art in Embassies, will encompass art in a variety of media, including painting, photography, textile, and sculpture by both American and Thai artists. The collection will seek to create a dialogue of shared values between the people of our two countries. Highlights will include site-specific commissions that reflect an understanding of the diversity and richness of American and Thai cultural heritage.

celebrating 25 years of triple swing
Since 1993, a group of volunteers called the St. Bernards Advocates has been dedicated to assisting St. Bernards Healthcare in providing Christ-like healing
to the community through funding, volunteerism and community awareness. As Triple Swing, St. Bernards Development Foundation's primary fundraiser, celebrates 25 years later this month, it will debut a new format as it raises money for St. Bernards Villa's Memory Care Unit.
The St. Bernards Advocates were formed in 1993 by then-St. Bernards Foundation Executive Director Frank P. Hall Jr. and then-St. Bernards President Ben E. Owens. The idea was to form a community leader volunteer organization that would advocate for St. Bernards and assist with securing financial support for the medical center.
Today, the 199 patron and active St. Bernards Advocates put in about 2,000 hours of service each year. The group took over two pre-existing events, the Triple Swing Golf Tournament and Dinner Dance, which benefit a project designated for a specific use annually. The advocates have also since added two additional fundraising events: a Butterfly Release in 2008 and a 24-Hour Spin-A-Thon in 2012. To-date, the St. Bernards Advocates have raised more than $1.8 million for St. Bernards Healthcare, including $500,000 for the Phil and Flo Jones Hospice House and $345,000 for the St. Bernards Neonatal Intensive Care Unit.
One very dedicated volunteer, Selena Barber, became a St. Bernards Advocate in 2007 and joined the board in 2010, where she has since served as Triple Swing chair and vice chair and is now serving as advocate chair.
"The advocates support St. Bernards through fundraising and community awareness," said Barber, the vice president and marketing communications officer for Centennial Bank. "I have really enjoyed the opportunity to meet so many community members and to work with them towards a common goal of
supporting and raising money for the programs at St. Bernards."
Triple Swing, which is now a three-day extravaganza, has become the hospital's signature fundraising event. Barber says the funds raised by Triple Swing are especially important because St. Bernards Healthcare is able to utilize the funds the advocates raise for matching grants, enabling the volunteers' efforts to be greatly multiplied.
"The Northeast Arkansas community has always been extremely supportive of our efforts," said Barber. "We could not succeed in organizing a three-day affair of this magnitude without our generous sponsors."
The 2014 Triple Swing Chair, Kent Bridger, is backed by a team of volunteer committee chairs that includes Deana Osment, Robert Wells, Justin and Lydia Parkey, Lori Bryant, Beth Murff, Mallory Riddick, Jerry Brackett, Lisa Graves, Joe and Blair Cook, Pat Farmer, Amy Cook, Michele Polk, Michael Givens and Dede Lee. Barber and Bridger also say that the event wouldn't be possible without the foundation's volunteer coordinator, Dana Housley, St. Bernards Development Foundation President Marilyn Hummelstein and office manager Kelli Merriman.
Bridger, the senior vice president of Simmons Bank, became involved with St. Bernards Development Foundation seven years ago and has been on the advocate board for three.
"I enjoy meeting new people and developing friendships while helping with such a tremendous cause," said Bridger of what he enjoys most about being a St. Bernards Advocate. "The foundation has been very instrumental in helping with various special projects of St. Bernards and the community. The recent addition of the NICU and the Hospice House are just a few of the projects that have had a very meaningful impact on the community in which we live."
The 2014 Triple Swing will kick off with a Hamptons beach party-themed dinner and dance, which will feature dinner, dancing, live entertainment by Bamboo Forest and more. In addition to the silent auction, the evening's live auction willinclude several large items such as a University of Arkansas Razorback Football game day experience, a New York theater package and a golf package. The advocates will also be raffling off a Bad Boy UTV valued at $10,000.
As Triple Swing's 25th anniversary chair, Bridger is looking forward to the event's new format"Being the 25th annual Triple Swing is very special," said Bridger. "The event has evolved throughout the years and this year is no different. The format for this year's event has changed and we will not have a tennis portion, but we will have a V.I.P. golf portion on Sunday. I hope that the new feature is well received and grows in the future. …"With this being the first year for the V.I.P. golf portion, we are truly in the infancy stage with this new format, but I think this will grow and develop into something extremely special and unique to the area."
The 25th annual Triple Swing will benefit St. Bernards Villa's Memory Care Unit, which is dedicated to the needs of patients suffering from Alzheimer's and dementia.
St. Bernards Development Foundation has kicked off a capital campaign to fund the construction of the Memory Care side of the house; in turn, the advocates have stepped-up with a generous pledge," said Brian Rega, director of senior services/housing for St. Bernards Health Care Inc. "Like the Flo and Phil Jones Hospice House before it, St. Bernards Villa will fill a void in our continuum
of care.
"There's currently nothing like this planned Alzheimer's Special Care Unit in an assisted living setting in the region. Most Alzheimer's or other dementia sufferers have been cared for at home or in a skilled nursing facility. We've created an option that is so much more. "
The Villa is scheduled to open in the spring of 2015."The Jonesboro community is always willing to help a worthy cause," said Bridger. "Without the hard work of the volunteers and the community's attendance at Triple Swing, we would not be nearly as successful in our fundraising efforts for this event." The 25th annual Triple Swing will begin June 21 with a dinner and dance, followed by the V.I.P. Golf Classic on June 22 and the Golf Classic on June 23.

How to Start a Cult
Updated: May 8, 2019 Cults are communities that fervently worship an object, person, or concept over all other things. While they have the ability to transform into manipulative enterprises in the wrong hands, they're essentially ways of organizing and transforming people's lives for the better. If you want to form a fervent organization around an idea, learn what ideas work well, how to organize, and how to keep your group growing in healthy, productive ways.
Picking an Obsession
Choose a subject or activity that improves your life. There are lots of things that it would be possible to form cults around, but they need to be generally positive activities, concepts, or ideas that you think are worth devoting time to, and getting other people to see the good in. You need to pick something with the potential to change lives for the better.
It's possible to form a cult around French cheese, Roblox cheating, or string theory, if you really believe that the subject or idea has the potential for positive good in the world. It doesn't need to be weird, or especially complicated, and in fact it's probably better if it's relatively normal.
Cults, while often religious in nature, do not need to be. Cult behavior involves a fervent devotion to a particular person, object, or idea. Groups can form around almost anything. You could form a canasta cult, or a World of Warcraft cult, if you want. Just make sure it's positive, good, and harmless.
Choose a subject or activity that you can be passionate about. You might say that you love Chef Boyardee Ravioli, but is it really worth worshipping in a cult-like way? Cults can only form around things about which it's possible to become very passionate, things that are possible to devote yourself to deeply, and find connections to in different parts of your life.
When we talk about cult movies, they're often very specific, quirky, and present a unique worldview that speaks very deeply to a small group of people, but confuse a great many other people.
Star Wars, Star Trek, and many kinds of sci-fi have immersive mythologies and deep universes that are possible to stay really engaged in, which is why we often say they have "cult-like" followings and longer Wikipedia pages than some presidents. The Kardashians? Not so much.
Pick something you think will benefit others. Your first question if you're forming a cult should be: would the world be a better or worse place if everyone was as enthusiastic about this thing, as we are, or as I am? If the answer is that the world would be better, objectively, that people would indeed lead better lives if they also worshipped Tom Brady's throwing glove from the Super Bowl, then you're on a positive and harmless track.
Often, cults are manipulative psychological enterprises organized by a single charismatic individual. They're organized to seem as if the good of the group is the goal of the cult, when in actuality all activities are designed to benefit the leader of that cult. Jonestown, the Heaven's Gate, and the Manson Family are perhaps all tragic examples of this.
Learn as much as possible about your obsession. If you're going to throw the word "cult" around, you better make sure you're informed about the subject you're going to hype to a group, so you don't come off as a make-believe guru, or some kind of snake-oil seller.
If you're going to form the Cult of Star Trek, you need to know a lot more than what color Spock bleeds. You need to know which episode he first bleeds in, what the significance of that color is in the greater context of the color-schema in the series, and how that affects your interpretation of Star Trek's utopian worldview. Get reading those fan blogs.
Forming a Group
Choose a leader. Most cults have single leaders, or they're typically called collectives. If you're the one forming the cult, it's likely that you're the leader, but you need to make sure that your cult is organized for good purposes, not for your own material gain, or purposes of power grabbing.
Cult leaders are typically charismatic and manipulative, but if you're going to form yours collectively, it's a good idea to pick someone who has the good of the group at heart. The person who wants to be the leader is the last person you should pick.
Establish the rules of the cult. By what rules, concepts, and moral code will your cult organize itself? What is the ultimate goal of the cult? How will you use Star Trek to change all your lives, and perhaps the lives of many others, for the better? What's your big message for the world?
Focus especially on the issue of how you'll use this to transform your lives for the better. The difference between a Star Trek Cult and a Star Trek Fan Club isn't necessarily the fervency of your adoration for Star Trek, but how you use that fervency to change your life.
It's helpful to write up these documents, but probably leave the word "cult" off of things. You don't want to give people the wrong idea.
Write up a body text. All cults have governing texts which have the virtue of being both mysteriously vague, pseudo-profound, and easy to read by a wide variety of people. If you want your cult to grow and attain a sense of legitimacy, it's a good idea to self-publish your guidelines for life, or your teachings as a group.
Find a place to practice or worship. Fair warning: people will probably find the idea of a cult about anything pretty strange, and you may face a lot of hostility and backlash if you're really public with your cult. It's good to have a quiet, private place where you can do the things you want to do, the way you want to do them.
If you've got a Star Trek Cult forming, it's likely you won't be doing anything much more significant at first than watching episodes, having in-depth conversations, and maybe re-enacting a scene or two, which it's perfectly possible to do from someone's living room.
If you're brave, you could try meeting in in public parks, or other places where you might attract some attention, but it might not be the kind of attention you want.
Come up with a slogan. All clubs, organizations, and groups need good slogans, cults included. It's an easy way to sum up what you do, organize around a singular idea, and keep everyone focused around the topic. Slogans should be memorable, simple, and multipartite, so they've be mysterious and vague in equal measure.
"All Things Fly In Space" might work for your Star Trek cult. Or maybe quotes from the show: "I was born in Iowa, I only work in outer space." Make it memorable, and organic.
Bring other people in, slowly. When you meet people in public, start gradually bringing in the concepts and the obsession that you've decided to shape your life around, to start growing the group. Become an evangelist for whatever it is you've decided to adulate.
Again, you may experience hostility and a lot of resistance at first, so you should try to market the less extreme aspects of your ideas. The utopian fun of Star Trek? Good selling point. Your plans of building a galaxy class star-cruiser in a warehouse in Queens? Maybe save that for later.
Becoming Cultish
Make sure all behavior lines up with the party platform. Cults are singular. If you're going to be a full-fledged member, or even a leader, in a cult of Star Trek, you can't be messing around watching other sci-fi, or doing things that aren't in line with the noble tenants of Trek. Make sure that you and everyone else in the group realigns your priorities to fall in line with the singular-minded concepts of the cult.
Often, cults live together, communally. Consider moving into a place and giving it a name, something like, "The Enterprise." This will allow everyone to grow and develop the common idea together.
Refer to your concept as the only true idea. One way to really get people to fall into your cult head-first is to make your idea seem like the only way of answering the problems of the world. You're not requiring simple excitement about Star Trek here, you're talking about total devotion to the transcendent power of James Kirk and Co. That means you've got to present it as the one true way.
Often, this is where cults get a little manipulative. Try to have healthy discussions and debates, just be good at presenting your ideas to the group. If other people think Star Wars has equally good merits, you need to be well-versed on the anarchy associated with a Star Wars influenced worldview. Preach it and believe it.
Practice your obsession. Keep doing what you do. How you choose to let your idea change your life and the lives of others for the better will largely depend on your concept. At what point does the cult become more serious than watching re-runs of Trek and eating Cheetos? When does positive change start to occur?
Maybe you start writing all you congressmen to take the tenants of Star Trek more seriously, devoting resources and time to science and exploration, taking the equality of gender, race, species, and class more seriously, and even abandoning the ancient Earth concept of "greed."
Do community outreach. Let your group form obvious, local, and immediate changes for the good in your community. Hold weekly free breakfasts with accompanying Star Trek viewing parties, or consider holding equality workshops and giving talks in full Federation Starfleet regalia. Let people know what you're about.
Find ways to grow your group. What will be your criteria and your process for taking in new members? How will your group expand and grow, without losing it's core identity and values? What will new members add? What will added publicity take away? What are your ultimate goals for the group? It's important to come to a consensus and take this ideas seriously.
Keep a strong foot-hold rooted in the real world, and in your core beliefs, both. You need to make sure that groups like this don't transform into something more ominous and more destructive. Are all your behaviors lined up with the original tenants of the organization? How can you reclaim those core ideas?
If you start small, you can get very popular.
If you conduct rituals, make sure they do not include any illegal activity (i.e violence, drug use, etc.).
Be honest in your practices up front and people will be more likely to follow you. If you hide your practices to include only members people will assume illegal activity (which you shouldn't do) and be less likely to join.
A religion is not like a gang, you cannot go off and shoot people or else you will get arrested.
Don't do anything illegal. No sacrifices. No "punishments." Harm none, not even yourself.

Our Comments: Unfortunately, we were just informed today that Antique Brass is currently not available due to some issues with the plating supplier. Also, the Carolina doors cannot have custom frame widths because it is made from standard width steel bar stock. The Legend doors are made from a laser cut 3/16" sheet of solid steel, so they can be made to any frame width we desire and can also have the same window pane options. We have created several examples of the Legend ZC door to fit your fireplace.

Says reduced from $154 to $17 for daily special. I thought original price was exaggerated but this is a $15 hotel at best. The only reason staff get 2stars is because the cleaning Lady is lovely.
My wife and step daughter stayed for 1 night they said the staff were very helpful but rooms were not very clean bad smells coming from hotel dustbins and other quests very load.
Had black mold in the bathroom, bugs crawling on me in while sleeping, heard weird noises in middle of the night , staff don't speak any English at all, had the worst bed in my life, got lost for about an hour trying to find the place, the ac blower made a ton of noise, overall worst experience ever at a hotel. Never again in my life.
Noisy rat infested , renovations being done during night ,avoid at all cost .
The hotel was very old, the walls between the rooms were made of gypsum board (so no privacy at all) and also the area was very noisy (both outside and the hotel residence!), old furniture. The hotel is located near the Bumrungrad International Hospital (which was our main destination) very active area (nearly people were not sleeping at all!) good number of restaurants and also mini markets, pharmacy, money exchange, banks, NANA train station and night market. I stayed in the hotel because of the Hospital which we had an inpatient there and we need to visit him on daily basis.
Gebuchtes Zimmer war wegen angeblichen techn.

Teaching Kids Roller Skating? Try Our SkateMate!
Little One Trying to Learn How To Skate? Try Our SkateMate!
Are your kids roller skating for the first time and needing some assistance? Let's Skate Orlando has a SkateMate they can try in order to help them across the rink. When you are searching for things to do in Orlando with kids, skating is nice because it is something the whole family can enjoy.
We created our skatemate to assist kids roller skating to make sure they can get the hang of being on the rink. The SkateMate is made of poles with wheels on the bottom to easily help them glide around in the direction they wish to go. The child should hold on with both hands so they do not fall and pay attention when using the SkateMate so they can get used to skating with it before going out on their own.
Think of the skatemate as training wheels for a bike. Kids can use the SkateMate as a safety net and then have the courage to skate on their own when they are ready to let go. The wheels help them glide around at their own pace and makes it easier for them because they have wheels on their skates as well. The whole idea is for children to get the hang of skating on the rink on their own, but with a little assistance.
The SkateMate helps with balance and control for all ages. It keeps children on their feet and makes it easier for them to understand the footwork of roller skating. Knowing how to keep their balance and making sure they don't fall on the rink is half the battle of roller skating.
When it comes to the skatemate, confidence is key. This can help kids enjoy their night out with their family and still get to skate on their own. It gives them the freedom and space to get used to skating before actually doing it all by themself.
Skating is one of the most popular things to do in Orlando with kids that the whole family can enjoy. When you have something like a SkateMate for your child to use, it makes it more enjoyable for everyone because they won't be hanging all over you afraid of falling all over the rink. They will have the skatemate to hold them up. If your child has a party coming up, or you want a night out check out our site to see what we offer and see if anything interests you.
When you are searching for things to do in Orlando with kids, reach out to Let's Skate Orlando and ask about our offers. We have kids roller skating and a lot of perks for the whole family. You can't beat our location and the fact that our events are made to please all ages. It is important to find out what your children like and how your family can find things to do together.

Q: istio egress tracing / metrics for a mitm https connection I want to get egress traces and metrics from a pod which I don't control much (in terms of code) to a third-party egress endpoint (that I don't control at all).

With this setup I see the traffic passing through the egress (and I have the metrics and traces egress-side). However, there are no details on the origin -- which kind of makes sense as the sidecar's envoy can't see what's the traffic inside.
Is there any way to provide the origin details to the egress without hacking on the origin pod's source code? I'm generally fine with weird things like tls-in-tls if it's possible to set it up (I'm not sure I can terminate tls on egress twice -- for istio_mutual and simple layers).

By STEPHEN HAWKINS
WACO, Texas (AP) Adam Flagler and the rest of the returning guards were solid for fifth-ranked Baylor in the season opener. So were the touted newcomers, along with everybody else.
Flagler had 21 points to lead six players scoring in double figures as the Bears overwhelmed Mississippi Valley State 117-53 Monday to open their 20th season with coach Scott Drew.
"You just see a glimpse of how deep of a team we are, how selfless of a team we are," said Flagler, a preseason All-Big 12 pick who was Baylor's leading scorer last season.
Flagler also had eight assists and one of his four 3-pointers started a 24-0 run midway through the first half. LJ Cryer had 16 points and Dale Bonner, another returning guard, had 14.
Langston Love, making his Baylor debut after missing last season with a torn ACL, five-star freshman guard Keyonte George, and West Virginia transfer Jalen Bridges each had 13 points for the Bears, who had 27 assists and only nine turnovers.
"Everybody who played did a good job, so the rotations were working today," Drew said. "We're blessed to have a roster full of guys that can help you win. So as competition improves, we'll have to look and adjust and find out what we need to do better. But, obviously, you can play a lot of different guys."
Love suffered his injury in the first scrimmage before last season. George is a Texas kid who signed out of IMG Academy in Florida.
Flagler and Cryer, who dealt with a surgically repaired right foot most of last season, alternated made 3s twice to open the run, which included six consecutive made 3s in less than five minutes. The Bears led 40-10 when BYU transfer Caleb Lohner made two free throws with 5:44 left in the first half.
Alvin Stredic scored 14 points and Terry Collins 10 for Mississippi Valley State in its first game for new coach George Ivory.
"It was a learning lesson for my guys, and we were shorthanded. We've got six guys that hadn't been cleared yet, and they are top guys," Ivory said. "We've just got to play with what we've got right now and just keep rolling."
TAKE CARE OF THE BALL
Baylor's 27-9 assist-to-turnover rate included only one turnover each by Flagler, George and Bonner. After Flagler's team-high eight assists, George had seven and Bonner six.
"You're going to take that every day of the week," Drew said. "Adam's done that in our scrimmages and practices. Both he and Dale have been outstanding taking care of the ball. Keyonte's somebody that sees the floor really well, and is becoming more and more consistent with it as well."
Mississippi Valley State: Opening against the nation's fifth-ranked team was going to be a tough task regardless for the Delta Devils, who were 2-26 last season. The best Valley did was tie the game at 2-2 on a field goal by Collins before giving up 11 points in a row.
Baylor: A solid start with a mix of old and new players for the Bears, who won the national title two seasons ago and last season shared the Big 12 regular-season title with Kansas, which gave the league its second consecutive national championship. They shot 51.4% (37 of 72) overall and 41.2% on 3-pointers (14 of 34). ... Flo Thamba, the 6-foot-10 senior forward and only returning starter other than Flagler, had five points and a game-high 10 rebounds.
The game was one of three nationally to start at 11 a.m. Central time, the earliest tip time on the season's first day. The Bears were the only major conference school to start that early, and jumped ahead 13-2 with thousands of screaming elementary school students in the stands.
"I thought the scream game was outstanding," Drew said, though it kept the Bears from getting into several defensive and offensive sets that coaches were trying to call during the game.
Mississippi Valley State is headed to Hawaii for three games in the Rainbow Classic.
Baylor, which plays its first three games at home, hosts Norfolk State on Friday in a rematch of an NCAA Tournament opener in March that the Bears won 85-49.

Over the past few weeks there has been a great deal of discussion across the country about the school shooting in La Loche. Through the analysis, questions, and theorizing about why it happened, and how to prevent it from happening again, mental health has emerged as a primary focus of discussion. It's very timely this week to have the opportunity to talk about mental health and physical activity with Sgt. Wade Bourassa of the Saskatoon Police Service. Sgt. Bourassa is currently in his 17th year of service with the Saskatoon Police Service. The father of two is also a big time runner, with 10 marathons behind him. His service to the city has been recognized publicly numerous times. He is the recipient of the Governor Generals Award for Bravery, has received the M.D. Ambulance lifesavers award and the Chiefs award for community service. Q&A with Sgt.

Our Track Attack program is directed at children ages 10-12 (the 'Learning to Train' stage of development). This is the third level of our Youth Skill Development Program. Track Attack is designed to further develop and refine all the cross-country ski skills, including speed, power and aerobic fitness, strength and flexibility, as well as develop good ski habits.
The objective of our Track Attack program is for the participants to become technically competent cross-country skiers, and to utilize those skills to begin a lifetime of enjoying a wide range of Nordic activities.
The ski practice will alternate between skate and classic technique.
Our Track Attack program is designed for skiers with at least 1 year of cross country ski experience. If your child is 10 years of age or older and is new to cross country skiing, they may need to take a few private lessons and/or be willing to ski in a group with younger children to facilitate the best group placement. Please contact us for further information.
There will be two practice sessions offered, Sunday mornings and Wednesday evenings at Whistler Olympic Park. You can register in either Sunday mornings only, or Sunday mornings and Wednesday evenings.
Please note that payment by credit card is required at time of registration.
A valid Sea to Sky club membership is required for participation in club programs and can be purchased at the time of registration.
If you are interested in attending BC Midgets or Coast Cups 3/4 as a group with your club members, please contact the program coordinator once the season gets underway.
The program fee does not include a Whistler Olympic Park season pass. Youth ages 7 and up who register in our Jackrabbits program are eligible for a discounted seasons pass. This pass must be purchased at the time of registration and will not be available after you have registered. Youth ages 6 and under do not require a trail pass. The discounted pass will be $50 until November 15. After that date the price will increase to $75.
Ski equipment can be rented at Whistler Olympic Park and Flying Spirit Rentals. For second hand equipment, the club is hosting a Nordic ski swap on Saturday Sept 29 at the Squamish Adventure Centre. Valhalla Pure, Source for Sports and Whistler Olympic Park all sell Nordic ski equipment.
A parent/guardian may be asked to participate in 1 or 2 practices throughout the winter.
We are a community club and the success of our programs and events is built on parent participation. There are many roles available for volunteers, many of which are not a large time commitment. We welcome volunteers in any role, from coaching to helping at an event, planning and admin roles and more.
Registration is now closed for our Track Attack program.
This fun camp includes an two overnight stays in Whistler Athletes Village. This is open to kids ages 9 and up, and is a great way to start the winter and socialize with ski friends, both new and old. Registration details will be posted when available.
The BC Midgets is an annual event for skiers ages 9-12 (born 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009). This is a really fun weekend, often the calendar highlight for young skiers, full of fun racing and socializing. If your child would like to attend BC Midgets this year with their fellow club members, please contact us as soon as possible to make transportation plans, group hotel bookings etc.
Based in Squamish, British Columbia, with members from throughout the Sea-to-Sky Corridor and Metro Vancouver, the Sea to Sky Nordics promote competitive and recreational participation in Cross Country Skiing, Biathlon, Ski Jumping, and Nordic Combined.

Planned Parenthood Generation (PPGen) is a movement of young people across identities and issues that organizes with, by, and for their generation in order to achieve reproductive freedom through youth organizing, leadership development, voter engagement programs, and infrastructure building to motivate, empower, train, and provide resources to support young people, affiliates, and partners in building power nationally. To ensure that young people's lives are at the center of our movement, our key priorities are: inclusivity, fighting abortion stigma, trans inclusion, and movement and power building.
• We are inclusive of all genders, diverse backgrounds, and communities impacted by reproductive health injustices.
• We advocate for our health centers to provide crucial health services, including abortion care, to all people across the globe.
• We develop young leaders to build across movements, identities, and issues in order to harness our collective power and impact change in our communities more effectively.
The reproductive rights movement is led by the largest and most diverse generation of young people and are actively shaping a world where full access to reproductive health care, including abortion services, is a global lived reality for all.
Join our local PPPP Gen uses fun activities and events to educate young Americans about threats to reproductive health and freedom and mobilizes them to get involved. For more information about the PPGen WWU Chapter, e-mail us at [email protected].
