I was tasked with designing icons to graphically convey our core values. They will be used as graphics during appropriate sermons, in training publications (ie - small group leaders' training manuals), etc. Top to bottom, left to right they are...
My biggest concern is that the contrast isn't significant enough (especially if they're sized down for printing purposes). Thoughts? This is still in the prelim stage, so any feedback is welcome.

KØPI 137 - Autonomes Wohn- und Kulturzentrum
History & Info:
Die Besetzung:
Die Köpenicker Str. 137 in Berlin wurde am 23.02.1990 besetzt. Kurz zuvor war das Haus entmietet worden. Durch die Besetzung wurde der geplante Abriß des Gebäudes verhindert. Im Sommer 1991 wurde mit der Verwalterin des Hauses der W.B.M. (Wohnungsbau-gesellschaft Mitte), ein Vorvertrag über die Nutzung sämtlicher Räume des Hauses abgeschlossen. Der Vertrag betrifft sowohl Maßnahmen der baulichen Selbsthilfe als auch den Abschluß von Einzelmietverträgen für die Wohnräume.
Am 01.05.1993 wurden dann mit der neuen Verwalterin des Hauses, der G.S.E. (Gesellschaft für Stadtentwicklung), unbefristete Mietverträge für die Wohnräume des Hauses abgeschlossen.
The Squatting:
The Köpenicker Str. 137 in Berlin was squatted on the 23.02.1990. Short time before that, the house stopped being rented. The house didn`t got torn down, how it was planned, because of the squatting. In summer 1991 there was made a pre-contract with the administrator of the estate, the W.B.M. (housing association Berlin-Mitte), for the use of all rooms. The contract included measures for D.I.Y. building up as well as making single contracts for the housing space.
On the 01.05.1993 there were made unlimited contracts for the housing space, with the new administrator of the estate, the G.S.E. (association for urban development).
Fehlgeschlagene Vertreibungsversuche:
1994 wurde im Rahmen eines Rückübertragungsverfahrens Volquard Petersen neuer Eigentümer des Gebäudes. Um freie Bahn für seine Planungen eines Bürokomplexes zu haben kündigte er 1996 die Mietverträge und reichte eine Räumungsklage ein. Diese wurde aber abgewiesen, die Kündigungen für nichtig erklärt.
In der Zwischenzeit hatte Petersen hohe Schulden angehäuft; 1998 wurde das Haus gepfändet und unter Zwangsverwaltung gestellt. Die Commerzbank beantragte die Zwangsversteigerung des Hauses. 1999 wurde dann tatsächlich mehrmals versucht das Haus zu versteigern. Zahlreiche Proteste und Solidaritätsaktionen, aber wohl auch die Existenz gültiger Mietverträge für das Haus, wirkten jedoch offensichtlich abschreckend auf potentielle Investoren - bei den ersten beiden Versteigerungen fand sich kein einziger Interessent; der Antrag für eine dritte Versteigerung wurde im Mai 2000 zurückgezogen.
Failed tryings of evictions:
1994 Volquard Petersen became the new owner of the house with a back-assignment. He quit the contracts and made a action for possession in 1996 to have room for his plannings to built an office block. The case got dismissed and the quittings void by law.
Meanwhile Petersen got huge bills so that the house got distrained and set under forced administration. The Commerzbank applied for a forced sale, what got tried 1999 several times.
Because of a lot of protests and solidarity actions, and also because of valid rent contracts, there was not even one interested investor on the first two auctions. The third auction got taken back in Mai 2000.
Verwaltung des Hauses:
Die Zwangsverwaltung des Hauses wurde aufgehoben und an Petersen rückübertragen, von dem seitdem nichts mehr zu hören war. Die Hausbewohner gründeten daraufhin eine Mieternotgemeinschaft und schlossen Verträge mit den Versorgungsunternehmen ab. Seitdem wird die gesamte Verwaltung des Hauses von der Mieternotgemeinschaft geleistet. Das gesamte Frisch- und Abwassersystem sowie das Dach sind in Eigenarbeit komplett erneuert worden. Die Kellerräume wurden unter hohem Aufwand trocken gelegt und nutzbar gemacht. Umfangreiche Sanierungsarbeiten in den Wohnungen und ständige kleinere Reparaturen und Instandhaltungsmaßnahmen werden von uns selbst erledigt. Keine Hausverwaltung und kein Eigentümer sind nötig um unser rattenscharfes Projekt am Leben zu halten!
Forced administration of the house:
The forced administracion of the house was stopped and given back to Petersen, from whom noone heard since then. The people who lived in KØPI started a rent community and made contracts with public utility companies. Since then the rent community ist handling the whole administration of the house.
The drink- and wastewater system as well as the roof was rebuilt totally D.I.Y. Also the basement got developed. Comprehensive reconstructions in the living spaces and smaller reparations are people here doing themselves.
There is no owner or administration needed to keep our project.
Die Zwangsversteigerung:
Am 8. Mai kam es erneut zu einer Zwangsversteigerung. Amtsgericht und die Gläubigerin Commerzbank mauschelten im Vorfeld, versuchten den Verkauf möglichst geheim zu halten und verscherbelten schließlich die KØPI und den KØPI-Wagenplatz zur Hälfte des Verkehrswertes an den Spekulanten "Besnik Fichtner". Dieser operiert aus einem dubiosen Firmengeflecht heraus. Die Staatsanwaltschaft ermittelt laut Berliner Zeitung gegen ihn und diverse Hintermänner unter anderem wegen schweren Betrugs. Fichtner kündigte in der Berliner Zeitung an, auf dem Gelände Luxuslofts mit Yachtliegeplätzen errichten zu wollen. Das die KØPI nicht am Wasser liegt und es somit schwer werden wird einen Hafen auf dem Gelände zu errichten scheint Herr Fichtner vor lauter Habgier ganz vergessen zu haben.
The forced auction:
On the 8th of may there was another forced auction. The local court and the creditor Commerzbank talked beforehand and tried to keep the auction secret. They sold KØPI and the KØPI- trailerpark for half of the value to the speculator "Besnik Fichtner", which is operating out of a dubios company mixup. The public prosecution department investigates a case, against him and several persons behind him, because of hard fraud and a lot of other things. Fichtner said to a newspaper "Berliner Zeitung" that he wants to built luxuslofts and berths for yachts. It seems like Fichtner forgot in his greed, that the KØPI is not built up right next to water and it´s going to be difficult to built a harbour on our ground.
Die KØPI - Selbstverwaltetes Wohn- und Kulturprojekt:
Das Haus bietet Wohnraum für ca. 50 Menschen einschließlich ihrer Kinder, von denen einige seit ihrer Geburt im Haus wohnen. Die gemeinschaftlich genutzten Räume bieten Platz für die verschiedensten unkommerziellen Kulturveranstaltungen. In den zwei Konzerträumen sind in den letzten 17 Jahren Hunderte von Bands aus allen Kontinenten aufgetreten - Berliner Nachwuchskünstler ebenso wie nahmhafte Musiker aus Amerika, Europa und Asien. Für viele osteuropäische Musiker war die KØPI der erste Auftrittsort in Deutschland. Aber auch zahlreiche Theateraufführungen sowie Tanz- und andere Performances finden auf den Bühnen der KØPI statt.
Hinzu kommt ein nicht-kommerzielles Videokino, kostenlos nutzbare Sport- und Theaterräume, eine selbstverwaltete Siebdruckwerkstatt, der Techno-Keller, Berlins ältester Kletterraum, das offene Büro, vegan/vegetarische Volxküchen, ein Bandproberaum und vieles mehr. - und all dies ganz bewußt ohne einen einzigen Cent von Staat, Stadt, Parteien oder sonstigen "Wohltätern"...
KØPI - autonomous and self-organized culture- and living project:
The house gives around 50 people living space including their children, from which some of them are living here since their birth. The common used rooms offer space for all different kinds of uncommercial cultural events. There were hundrets of bands from all over the world playing in the two concerthalls, the last 18 years. Young talents from berlin as well as well known musicians from America, Europe or Asia. For a lot of east-european musicians was KØPI the place for their first gig in Germany. Also a lot of theatrical performances or Dance- and other performances are taking place on the stages in KØPI.
We also have a non-commercial cinema, charge free sport- and theaterrooms, a self-organized screen- printing workshop, the techno- basement, berlins oldest climbing room, the open office, vegan/vegetarian Soupkitchens, a band-exercise room and a lot of more.
And all that in conscious of without one cent from the state, city, partys or any other "benefactors"...

987 Lawrence Street, Kelowna, BC.
Statement of Significance:
Description of Historic Place:
The historic place is the two-and-one-half-storey, concrete-block Renwick House, built in 1912 in the Queen Anne style, and located at 987 Lawrence Avenue in Kelowna's North Central neighbourhood.
Heritage Value:
The heritage value of the Renwick House is found in its architecture, as a significant example of the Queen Anne style, and in its association with a family that occupied the residence throughout much of the 20th century.
This large 'artificial sandstone' house was built in 1912. The construction is unusual in that the walls are built of a decorative concrete block, shaped to resemble more expensive cut stone. The design exhibits the asymmetrical composition, vertical lines, polychromy (multiple colours), tower (believed to have been higher, but it was damaged by fire), and bay windows found in the Queen Anne style, a picturesque manner that flourished a decade or two earlier in more developed cities in British Columbia. An expansion to the original house is currently in progress, providing for additions to both the east and west facades of the building, along with a reconstructed turret element over the bay window portion of the front facade.
The house was built by E.L. Clement in 1912, and bought by Thomas and Mary E. Renwick that same year. Thomas and Mary E. Renwick lived here for many years, and their children succeeded them as occupants. Thomas Renwick was a fruit grower who had brought his family from Manitoba to Benvoulin in 1906, and moved into town in 1912. Renwick died in 1930, leaving Mary and their daughter Mildred I. Renwick, who continued to live in this house until 1982.
Mildred Renwick (1897-1963) took teacher training after completing high school. She started her career at the one-room schoolhouse at Bear Creek, and taught at four different elementary schools in downtown Kelowna until her retirement in 1962. She is representative of the professional female teacher who forewent marriage and raising a family in order to focus on her career.

Character-Defining Elements:
The character-defining elements of the Renwick House include its:
- large landmark size, set well back on the property
- residential form, scale and massing, as expressed by its two-and-one-half-storey height and rectangular plan
- medium-pitched gabled roof, punctuated with many features, including two gabled dormers, a steep-pitched turret, and a steep-pitched projecting gable
- two-colour concrete block walls on the original building
- two brick chimneys, one corbelled
- roof-level windows, which are one-over-one, double-hung, wood-sash windows, with plain wood trim
- second-floor and ground-floor fenestration, with four-over-one, double-hung, wood-sash windows and smaller, diagonal-mullioned,, wood-sash casement windows with plain wood trim
- open porch with concrete-block columns supporting a low-pitched shed roof and with wood balustrade and railings
- extensive plantings in side yards and large open front yard with driveway

My Mum noticed this. Does the bleach in question have 'wow value'? Is it supposed to have an exclamation - "Wow! [now that's] Value"?
It's an average-sized bottle of bleach. Nothing spectacular.

Libreta Ration Booklet
For the average Cuban however, it’s a constant part of daily life in 2017. The libreta ration booklet was introduced in 1962 by Che Guevara and entitles citizens to a basic ration of groceries such as rice, eggs and beans, which they can buy at their local bodega at 12% of the market value, amounting to less than $2 a month for their monthly rations. Doesn’t sound so bad right? Well sure, if you’re okay with an allowance of say– 5 eggs a month.Here’s how it works. Each household ration book has a number, a list of family members and their dates of birth. What you’re allowed to buy depends on your age and your gender. For example, milk, can only be bought for children below the age of seven or for pregnant women and the elderly. (So your morning bowl of cornflakes is definitely out). The bodega clerk also keeps a book containing the information on each local household and the list of products he is allowed to sell them. A bodega clerk will know if there is or isn’t a child under seven or an elderly member of the household who needs milk. There are penalties for families not reporting any changes in the composition of the household, but you do get extra rations if it’s your birthday or your weddind day. Cakes, rum and beer.Any Westerner walking into a state-controlled bodega would find the shelves strangely empty compared to what we’re used to. Distribution and product delivery is often unreliable in a country that still needs to import about 80% of its food. Some months there can be a shortage of an entire food group and when products finally arrive at random, the bodega queues can be long and disorderly. When (and if) a weekly chicken ration arrives at the market, you can smell chicken cooking in every kitchen in the neighbourhood.The island’s ration allowance has been shrinking over the decades ever since it was introduced when American sanctions placed a sudden burden on the population. It was at its worst when the Soviet Union fell in 1991, known as “the skinny period”, el tiempo de los flacos, when Cuba’s food importation dropped by 75%. Rations were cut in half and the average citizen lost 20 lbs.Things have improved since then, but still, this socialist experiment that costs the government over $1 billion annually, is barely enough to keep its people from starving and it certainly wouldn’t satisfy the average appetite.But for the tourists of course, it’s very different. While finding beef in a state-run bodega is a laughable idea, for the foreigner paying in dollars at government-owned hotels, you can order as many hamburgers as you want. Beef is a pretty taboo subject for many Cubans, who haven’t tasted it since they were children.
Only state-owned luxury butchers can sell beef and serve it in their hotels and private restaurants. Did you hear the one about the cows in Cuba? Under Cuban law, a person can get more jail time for killing a cow than killing a human. Needless to say, there isn’t exactly an entrepreneurial spirit for farmers on this island.If a local ever did feel like having a feast for dinner one night, there are options– if they have the money to burn. Products not freely available at the bodegas can be purchased at the mercado libre (free market), mercado paralelo (parallel market), or any supermarket that sells goods in convertible pesos (formerly known as dollar stores). And of course there’s always the black market. But at these establishments, market prices are so high, a kilo of milk powder for example, costs about $21. The average wage for Cubans is about $16 a month. Most food items that aren’t part of government rationing are simply off-limits to those who can only afford to pay in pesos.Cubans who find jobs in the tourist sector have it easier with access to hard currency and those living abroad often bring back suitcases filled with milk powder to give to their families. But for now, la libreta and the bare-shelved bodega is still a lifesaver for the poor. When the reform-minded President Raul Castro proposed to eliminate the ration, he was met with overwhelming opposition, particularly from low-wage state workers struggling to get by on $15 a month.
Most Cubans have known the ration book all their life and see it as one of the main achievements of the revolution. As more tourists with a big appetite descend on the island however, it remains to be seen how this austere and archaic system will co-exist with the outside influence of an “all-you-can-eat” consumerism heading its way.

NHS Values Summits bring together a diverse range of people and perspectives to foster greater understanding of how peoples' differences, social status and cultural expectations can affect their experiences of health and care.
Held on a quarterly basis across the country, each summit promotes values-based ways of working and explores a different theme relating to equality, health inequalities and human rights.
The theme of this NHS Values Summit, held on 18th September 2013, was entitled 'Making it happen in Greater Manchester: Integrated care across organisations'. Patient-centred care that is well co-ordinated across care settings and over time is better for all but can particularly benefit patients with long-term, chronic or complex conditions and those who may find it difficult to 'navigate' the health care system.
The Greater Manchester summit was held during National Recovery Month. This provided an opportunity for people to share their recovery stories with others and celebrate their successes, promoting the benefits of prevention, treatment and recovery for those experiencing mental health or substance misuse issues.
As a celebration of shared learning and partnership working, NHS England is pleased to welcome patients and the public, representatives from health and social care, and stakeholders from the private and voluntary/community sectors to these important events.

Former Value Giant Drug Store located at 680 South State St. in Ukiah,CA. The Value Giant chain was acquired by Payless Drug in the late 1970's which then over the following months of the acquisition began to rebrand the stores under the Payless name. This specific store remained a Rite Aid (we all know the Thrifty/Payless merger) until Fall 2008 when a newly constructed Rite Aid was built in front of the former store seen here.
