More sleep was in order. |
Oh, summer. Where did you go? |
I blinked and you're gone. |

The historic and scandal-prone Buenos Aires zoo is set to close and all animals transitioned to nature preserves because, as the city's Mayor Horacio Rodríguez Larreta put simply on Friday, "Captivity is degrading." |
The 140-year-old zoo in Buenos Aires' Palermo neighborhood will be turned into an "ecopark" when it reopens later this year after its 2,500 animals are removed, although some of the older and infirm animals will remain on site, the Guardian reports. That includes the orangutan Sandra, who made headlines in 2014 when an unsuccessful bid to have her freed from captivity nonetheless resulted in her being termed a "non-human person" deserving of rights by a Buenos Aires court. |
As an ecopark, the site will also provide "refuge and rehabilitation" for animals rescued from trafficking operations. |
"This situation of captivity is degrading for the animals, it’s not the way to take care of them," Larreta said Thursday during a press conference. |
The ecopark will also serve as a venue "where children can learn how to take care of and relate with the different species," he continued. "What we have to value is the animals. The way they live here is definitely not the way to do that." |
In recent years, the zoo has attracted criticism for its inadequate conditions, such as its handling of polar bears during the city's scorching hot summers. |
Gerardo Biglia, an animal rights activist who has long pushed for the zoo's closure, said in a press release, "The most important thing is breaking with the model of captivity and exhibition. I think there is a change coming for which we are already prepared because kids nowadays consider it obvious that it's wrong for animals to be caged." |
The latest book from the Al-Attiyah Foundation – Best Practice Guidelines for Corporate Social Responsibility – is based on the premise that the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) serve as a good blueprint for framing corporate social responsibility (CSR) of companies and organisations, as well as how progress in approaches to sustainable development is influencing CSR practices. |
The Foundation has developed this new publication with the expectation for it to serve as a useful guide for companies wishing to capitalise on their positive benefits to society, while mitigating, in a meaningful way, the adverse impacts of their activities. It builds on the Foundation’s 2017 publication, on Sustainable Development Goals and Energy Nexus. |
The book examines key international standards, guidelines and principles, related to CSR, that have emerged through UN or other multilateral processes, or established by industry or business associations. These standards and guidelines represent the expectations of the international society for responsible business conduct. A concise overview of the standards and guidelines are presented and the key elements that are considered essential for best practice are highlighted and discussed. Some case studies illustrating the contributions, through CSR initiatives, by companies based in Qatar to Qatar National Vision 2030, are presented. |
Serves as a tool for responsible environmental management. |
Key aspects that should be considered if a CSR initiative is to effectively achieve its intended purpose are identified under each of the above four clusters. |
The book is cast within the context of the plethora of CSR initiatives that use the existing different standards and guidelines. |
The rapidly changing times and business environment move us deeper and deeper into the new era of corporate responsibilities, where companies are expected to be good neighbours. |
Consequently, CSR has become part of the DNA of many companies, although the effectiveness and impact of such programmes varies. |
Organisations have recognised that, in addition to legal and regulatory incentives, there are also strategic, operational, reputational and financial reasons to seriously address the social and environmental aspects of their operations. |
For many companies, especially those that operate internationally, environmental and social challenges – often called ‘non-technical risks’ can have as much potential to harm their bottom line as financial issues. |
Companies are increasingly using their experiences of local challenges to work with communities to determine how best to align their investments in projects with community needs. |

Best choice ever! I found out about them through a co-worker and loved their pictures. They take their time to capture the most magical moments. Highly recommendable! Thank you for everything. |
Michael and I loved working with Nicole and Mike; they made taking pictures in the cold enjoyable and made us feel comfortable. Awesome people to work with, and highly recommended. |
We had Nicole & Mike do our engagement and wedding photos. They were professional, personal and truly captured our vision! They went above and beyond (traveling a little ways to our venue). Throughout both photo shoots they made us feel relaxed, comfortable and made it fun! |
“Felt like hanging out with (super talented) old friends..." |
We hired Dreamscape for our engagement photo session and we can't recommend them enough. If you've seen their work you know that they are seriously talented, know the technical elements of photography, and have a natural eye. The bonus is their professionalism and flexibility. They were so open to all our crazy ideas and were really diligent about making our vision come to life, but they were also honest about what wouldn't work or come out the way we wanted. They are so fun to be around, our whole session felt like hanging out with (super talented) old friends. |
“Don't think I could have done it with out them..." |
Mike & Nicole did our engagement pictures so of course they had to do our wedding, and we were not disappointed. They showed up on time, actually early, prepared and were ready to go. It was chaotic trying to get everyone together, but they showed the utmost professionalism, even when I was asking for specific pictures! They catered to all my requests and needs. I honestly don't think I could have done it with out them. Our pictures came out beautifully, and I can't thank them enough!! |
They were the absolute best pair to shoot our trash the dress evening. Very laid back when we were 30 minutes late stuck in traffic and the best warm-hearted people. They captured every moment we hoped they would and then some. We now have memories frozen in which we can cherish forever. Thanks to both of you so much and look forward to using you in the future. Cheers! |
“Still raving about the photos..." |
Nicole & Mike did a wonderful job photographing our big day! My friends and family are still raving about the photos they took. They have a good eye for what will work and made everything so easy and enjoyable. Plus, we received our photos very quickly. I'm extremely happy with the work they did for our wedding! |
I can not thank Nicole & Mike enough!!! From the moment I messaged them, they have been so amazing. Even after I was an hour late to my wedding, they worked with me. I was in the middle of a break down due to heavy rain and some family drama, but they were there to calm me down and reassure me everything would be ok. These two were very professional in everything they did, but they honestly felt more like apart of the family. Thank you both for being so amazing!! |
Having a slight bit of fun with the wardrobe today…a basic take on a “school girl” look, why not? |
Thank you. Hope you'll follow the blog. |
If the couple does not click, do not take it personally. You tried, and your intentions were good. Shrug your shoulders, and let it go. Maybe next time. |
Avoid getting too involved. Once you have introduced the couple, let things play out without further involvement on your part. It is up to the couple to decide whether or not they want to pursue another meeting. Their first encounter may go extremely well or it may blow up in flames. Either way, the ball is in their court… not yours. |
Do not throw people together randomly or just because they are both single. The only good reason for setting up two people is because you sincerely believe they would like each other. Before making your first move, find out if they have similar interests and what each individual is looking for in a relationship. |
Ask for permission first. Never ambush anyone with an impromptu setup. Make sure those involved are genuinely okay with your plans. If they decline, accept the refusal graciously. |
Playing cupid or matchmaker for family or friends can be fun and rewarding, especially if romantic sparks fly. Helping two people find each other in this great big, hectic world is a wonderful thing to do for people you love and care about. You may be bringing together two people who are a perfect match but might never have found each other without your help. But setting up people you know well can also be an iffy undertaking because romantic chemistry is very hard to predict. Remember… love takes its own path. If you are considering playing matchmaker, think it through and tread a little carefully. You don’t want to do anything that might have a negative effect on your relationship with either person. |
Ditch any preconceived expectations. Just because you think two people are perfect for each other does not mean they will feel the same way. Even though heartfelt, your enthusiasm and eagerness might be a bit overwhelming. You could end up putting extra pressure on the couple, and possibly doom a relationship before it has a chance to plant roots and grow. |
Be completely honest. When describing each person to the other, full disclosure is essential. Talk about what a person is really like without trying to create an image that will appeal to the other person. If you don’t know someone that well, let the other know. Share photos if you have them. |

We know that some of you follow this blog to hear about us in general, so here's a quick photo update: We had a great winter in Washington, where the snow conditions were not at their best but surely better than coastal Alaska's! (yes, we tried to stop being seasonal but haven't quite figured out how to kick the habit yet . . .) Grandma Kathy "Rah Rah" enjoyed her time with Maggie. We had a nice Mexico get away. The highlight for Maggie was for sure all the little dogs! Here's Maggie on one of her first fishing adventures, fishing for little Bonita by kayak. (She still signs the story of how Mama had the fishing line tied to her toe, screamed, tried to pull the fish in and lost it!). Did we mention we're expecting another baby this fall!! We recently escaped from boat work for a little biking adventure in Denali National Park. It was complete with snow most days, bears and sheep. Maggie (now 18 months) learned how to use her very own sleeping bag! On a more serious note, in the midst of little girls growing up and babies growing in the belly, Emily's stepdad, Dave, died this April. It's still a shock and we miss his presence. He was a kind, giving man who lived a full life and even helped drive your fish around last summer. We love you Dave. |
So love hearing about your lives. Keep the pictures coming. Old Auntie loves seeing her. |

Bella however has learned her husband very well and something major is happening and being who she is she will get to the bottom of it even if it kills her. |
God I hate cliffhangers but thankfully this author knocks these stories out quickly so not a long wait. I loved this book and have enjoyed every book in this series thus far. I did find some grammar issues but nothing that takes from the story. If Mafia Romance is your thing, you will not be disappointed. |
Anna C. Christensen has been a supporter of family planning since high school, when she stuffed envelopes as a volunteer at a Planned Parenthood affiliate in California. Now a Tucson resident, she continues to advocate for reproductive rights and sexual health. |
Planned Parenthood Arizona serves more than 100,000 families every year; maybe your family is one of them. |
Tucson is home to the Margaret Sanger Health Center, namesake of Planned Parenthood's founder. A century ago, Margaret Sanger was a New York City nurse who witnessed the horrors of women dying prematurely after having too many children, while others died from botched abortions. This experience motivated her to become an activist for the availability and legality of contraception. Sanger was a controversial figure—and that controversy lingers to this day. |
Sanger first visited Tucson in the 1930s, when she helped set up the Tucson Mother's Health Clinic (also called Clinica Para las Madres), Planned Parenthood of Southern Arizona's precursor. Sanger, bedeviled by health problems, was drawn by Tucson's climate. Her husband was drawn by Arizona's lack of income tax, and in 1933, they purchased an adobe house in the foothills. |
In the early '40s, Sanger and her husband moved closer to the city's heart, as gasoline rations dulled suburbia's attractiveness. They moved into a house on Elm Street, just east of the Arizona Inn. Before his death, her husband obtained an empty lot on Sierra Vista Drive, a stone's throw from their Elm Street residence. Sanger's son Stuart built a house on one side, and Sanger decided to build her dream home on the other. |
Sanger's homes hosted lavish parties as well as fundraisers for organizations like Planned Parenthood of Southern Arizona and the Tucson Medical Center (of which she was also a co-founder). She took up hobbies such as cooking and watercolor; today, many of her original paintings adorn the walls of Planned Parenthood administrative headquarters in Tucson, the building that was named in her honor. |
Planned Parenthood, in Arizona and nationwide, is currently under attack. Republicans in the House of Representatives voted to do away with Title X, a national program providing preventive health care to low-income patients; the fate of Title X is now in the Senate's hands. Since 1970, when President Richard Nixon signed it into law, it has helped millions of women access services such as contraception, preventing an estimated 973,000 unintended pregnancies and 406,000 abortions every year. |
Rep. Chris Smith (R-NJ), meanwhile, seeks to interfere with services covered by private insurance. By cutting off federal funds for insurance companies that cover abortions—even when the tax dollars aren't put toward abortion coverage—his bill would deny women the legal right to an abortion, guaranteed by the Supreme Court's 1973 Roe v. Wade decision. It would also impose tax penalties on those whose insurance offers such coverage. |
In Arizona, families are facing further potential threats as the Republican-controlled Legislature introduced several anti-women's-health initiatives this year. HB 2384 would make Planned Parenthood newly ineligible for the Arizona Working Poor Tax Credit. HB 2416 would cause additional obstacles to abortion access, including changing the definition of "surgical abortion" to include abortion by pill, which could cut off rural women from abortion services. HB 2443 would infringe upon patient privacy by denying care to women who refuse to disclose the reasons behind their decision to abort. |
A century ago, Margaret Sanger witnessed tragedies that resulted from unintended pregnancies. In response, she illegally smuggled diaphragms into the country and opened family-planning clinics in defiance of the law—and spent time in jail for her troubles. This is the world Sanger and other birth-control activists came from, and it's the world lawmakers are trying to bring back. |
Don't stand for it. Talk to your friends; write to your representatives; vote; volunteer; and visit www.standwithplannedparenthood.org to show your support for Planned Parenthood's crucial work. |
Skitely has a 'wow' feature to add multiple users to a group without any limit. |
To bring a rapid evolution in communication within the organizations, the client wanted to build an iOS app and integrate some changes in the existing Android App. Since thousands of users would log-in to the same app in real-time, the major challenge was to give them a seamless user experience to all the users. Through the app, users can exchange different forms of content including messages, audio, video, and documents thus the client wanted to include a data syncing feature which offers convenience in real-time interaction. |
Another requirement of the client is to build a secure and multi-lingual app (French and English) to cater masses at the enterprise level. |
Clavax successfully developed the app for iOS and Android which effectively lets the users communicate with their teams in real-time. To make it convenient and time-saving, the app allows the admin to share all the important data with the entire team, with a few finger taps. The admin has complete control over the activities thus gives them the ability to alter/delete messages or delete the group permanently at any point in time. |
Instead of asking for contact details of all the team members, Skitely uses a 'Dynamic Code Generation Feature' through which users can join the group immediately. |
Focused on excellence, our developers have used the latest technologies and frameworks to build the Skitely app. |
