Elle is very engaged in explaining her ideas to a fellow engineering student. Elle is located in the farther right third of the portrait. I like the lighting element in this photo, how you can see the reflection of her work computer in her glasses. I also like the coffee in the shot, because it adds another element to this photo of her working. She looks determined and will gladly share her ideas with you.

This is 'Rifraff' Giraffe No.3 by HairyLemon. Giant fibreglass Giraffe sculptures, reaching 2.5 metres high, are now standing tall on the streets, parks and public spaces of Christchurch and surrounding areas until 24 January 2015. At the end of the public art exhibition, in February, the Giraffes will be auctioned so we can all be part of raising money for local charities and turn the city’s Summer of fun into a helping hand for those who are in need.

Things I came across in the city on my walk home taking my car to get fixed November 3, 2014.
Image Craft's ICON Themed Environments division created this new suite of office furniture, custom designed for our recently expanded Colorado office, now located in Centennial.
Shown here in various stages of production are a reception desk, media wall with podium, conference room table, storage and display credenzas, and more! The furnishings, primarily composed of shop ply and MDF, feature a zebra wood laminate with folkstone gray and matte black laminate work surfaces.
This project was produced entirely in-house in our Phoenix headquarters, from design to fabrication, and ultimately, through on-site installation. Backlit lettering and graphics are also part of the overall concept, and will be the final addition. We'll add more photos here as the project progresses.

Thousands turn out in Melbourne to support a price on pollution
Saturday, 12 March 2011
With just one weekʼs notice, 7,500 Melbournians converged on the cityʼs Treasury Place this morning to demonstrate their support for swift and effective action to reduce greenhouse pollution.
“Australians donʼt want our parliamentarians thinking that a vocal minority of negative naysayers speak for Australia – so we took to the street and made our voice heard,” GetUp National Director Simon Sheikh said.
“This is the year to put a price on the biggest polluting industries, and use that money to invest in clean energy, and helping lower-income families adjust to.”
The rally was called for to counter an anti-carbon tax protest being conducted on the other side of Melbourne, outside Prime Minister Gillardʼs electoral office in Werribee. That protest is estimated to have involved just 150 people.
The message out of the pro-action rally is a resounding “yes” to putting a limit and price on pollution, and investing in a rapid transition to a clean energy economy.
Australian Conservation Foundation Climate Change Campaigner Claire Maries said, “With just a weeksʼ notice, the people of Melbourne have come out in force to demonstrate their support for action on climate change – starting with a price on pollution.”
“Australians have been waiting for four years for the Labor Government to deliver its promises to take action on climate change,” Kelly OʼShannessy, the CEO of Environment Victoria said. “They have marched in their tens of thousands, and todayʼs crowd is a drop in the ocean of support across the country for putting a limit
and price on pollution”
“We hope that all members of parliament heed very clearly our message today,” Ellen Sandell, Director of the Australian Youth Climate Coalition said. “Australians are saying ʻyesʼ to a limit and price on pollution; saying ʻyesʼ to just transitions and a clean energy future; saying ʻyesʼ to meeting our international responsibilities with pride and goodwill.”

This week, I boldly rode my electric bike straight up the Miwok Trail, going north towards County View in the peaceful Golden Gate National Recreation Area. It’s a steep climb up a thousand feet, and I had to stop a couple times to catch my breath. But my trusty Benno Boost ebike gave me just the extra lift I needed to make it to the top of the hill.
I now go biking every day, to clear my head and stay healthy during the pandemic. We are incredibly lucky to have so many beautiful trails right in our own backyard. And I am grateful that our health crisis is nudging us all to exercise more and live more sustainably.

After reflecting on how race impacts their school environment, students from the Graham School, Westerville North High School, and Westerville South High School used lockers to artistically tell their stories.
Considering the theme "are we so different? We are all students," the high school students engaged in a day-long series of conversations and exercises to explore their unique identities, discover similarities they share with others, and openly discussed how skin color impacts their relationships at school.
The Locker Project is part of COSI's limited-engagement exhibition, "RACE: Are We So Different?", showing at COSI from January 28, 2012 to May 6, 2012.
