Excellent Value Villa Recently Reduced Marbella
Fair sized 4 bedroom villa in a quiet area of the Golden Mile, a fantastic location. The ground floor has an impressive entrance area, a large living area leading onto a covered terrace area and the garden. A fully equipped kitchen and breakfast area next to a dinning area, again leading onto various terraces. There is also a spacious en suite bedroom which leads into the gardens and down to the pool area. Upstairs there are a further 3 en suite bedrooms each with a terrace area, there are sea views from these terraces. There is a large basement with parking for 4 cars as well as service quarters made up of a bedroom, a bathroom, a living/dinning area with a kitchen. The plot is south facing with a pool area on a slightly lower level which can easily be closed of in the case of families with smaller children. The house has been impeccably maintained and has recently been reduced in price in order to facilitate a quick sale. A property that is very much worth seeing for those seeking the peace and quiet on offer at one of Marbella’s most select addresses whilst still in the midst of things.

My central idea is value. I chose this concept, because my family is very important to me. Most people would say that they value their family and friends. But some people would say that they care for wealth, looks, religion and etc. I wanted to show that there are many things that people love if it's a good thing or a bad thing. I wanted to be more on the positive side, but I realized that not everything is all just happiness. So I changed a couple of my picture ideas and showed more of a darker side of what valuable means.
For my first photo, it shows religion or beliefs. I think that this works for my concept, because religious beliefs is something that some people put all of their time and effort in. It can affect how people live and how they act towards others and the environment.
For my second photo, I'm showing beauty. Many people around the world is insecure about how they looks, and how others see them from the outside. Makeup covers all of the physical marks on someone's face or body. Some people are consumed by makeup so much that they can't even go outside without makeup on, because they feel embarrassed or ugly.
My next photo shows the importance of pets. Pets can be very valuable to to a person or family. A pet can be like a best friend or a family member that you've never had. They comfort you and help you feel like your not alone. And when you have a pet, you create a special bond.
My fourth photo represents family. Family is one of the bigger values that people have. You can go to them when you are having a hard time, and count on them for anything. They're like your best friends and you have a lot of memorable memories together whether it's good or bad.
My last photo shows wealth. Individuals can be so focused on how much money they have, since they can buy anything that they desire. Some people would rather live with a lot of money than live with people around them. And in my photo it shows someone in a suit wearing a watch and having a lot of money. So I think that all of my photos fit for this project.
growing up, my norwegian grandmother had a miniature of the h.c. andersen's little mermaid... there is a statue of her, sitting upon a rock in the harbor at copenhagen, denmark... i always wondered why she had it, afterall, it was a very sad story, disney came up with happily ever after... beach stones, glass from pinocean, and all vintaj components - including a believe tag and sea star, are used to accent this incredibly beautiful pewter mermaid from green girl studios... wear her to remember that no one is worth losing yourself over...

"All across the state people are protesting a proposed coal export
terminal"- KHQ
TV News Station
"Environmentalists and other opponents of the terminal,
many of whom were dressed in red T-shirts, dominated public
testimony before a crowd of about 400."- Spokesman
Review
If Earned Media is any indication of of where we stand in the fight for
climate and environmental justice and a sustainable future against coal
exports, than the tide has turned in favor of activists and the
communities we strive to protect. The coal export battle is truly being
fought in the court of public opinion. Giant-sized sympathetic visuals
conveying the values we stand for and what threatens them, and an
engaging experience that helped communities feel a sense of shared power
were all prominent in the earned mainstream media coverage in Spokane
that included two television spots and the front page on their local
paper. The iconic imagery resonates so well that those in a position to
decide the regulations and even the coal export proponents were enamored
with it, excited, and joyful as they took pictures of and with it. We're
grateful to our supporters through whose support we're able to make sure
this critical flank of the fight is present to amplify, inspire, and
build engagement. If you are long to be a part of vibrant community
working to bring the world in closer harmony with your values, than join
Backbone Campaign, our
allies, and collaborators to build a powerful progressive movement.
Special thanks is owed to Spokane
Coalition Builders, and Occupy Spokane whose
dedicated engagement in their community and continued collaboration have
helped to reinvigorate engagement in the NW. The Power Past Coal
Coalition and Sierra Club have dedicated a ton of resources and energy
to mobilize the community to speak out at the hearings, with many other
community members from across the state and beyond sharing their talents
and gifts to make Fossil Fuel Foolishness a thing of the past.

Benedictine sisters to shutter midtown monastery
By Johanna Willett Arizona Daily Star
20160927
For about 75 years, the Benedictine Sisters of Perpetual Adoration have called the monastery at 800 N. Country Club Road home.
But no more.
This past weekend, the sisters announced to volunteers, benefactors and other friends that the monastery will shut its doors within the next two years.
“It was a difficult decision to come to, but it has to do with basically a fewer number of sisters today and the fact that everyone is aging,” said Sister Joan Ridley, superior of the Tucson Monastery. “We don’t have many newer members, so we want to regroup forces and consolidate sisters in one spot.”
The 16 Tucson sisters are part of a larger congregation based in Clyde, Missouri. Including the Tucson nuns, there are about 65 sisters, Ridley said.
Leadership at both sites has worked toward this decision for about a year with the hope that consolidation will revitalize the aging order.
The decision is still too new for the sisters to say for sure whether all will leave Tucson for Clyde. Some of the nuns have lived here for about 25 years, Ridley said.
Stay or go, they will all have to develop a few new habits. The sisters plan to sell the property, which is about 7 acres between East Speedway and East Fifth Street.
“We may be in touch with some other national Catholic organizations that purchase property and convert it to senior housing or things like that,” Ridley said. “Our first desire is that it would be used for the good of seniors and stay within the religious tradition.”
The Tucson convent’s history as documented on its website begins in 1935 with an invitation from Diocese of Tucson Bishop Daniel Gercke to the Benedictine Sisters of Perpetual Adoration. Until the completion of the Tucson Monastery in 1940, the sisters lived in the Steinfeld Mansion , 300 N. Main Ave. Architect Roy Place designed the current monastery.
“The Benedictine Sisters have been a blessing and gift in our community since 1935,” said Bishop Gerald Kicanas of the Diocese of Tucson in a prepared statement. “They have held us in prayer and opened their home to us all. … They cannot imagine the impact they have had on us, not just as Catholics but all in our community.”
Valencia orange and date palm trees dot the property, along with an ancient avocado tree that Ridley suspects is one of the oldest in Tucson.
The sisters sell soaps, salves and lotions and make liturgical vestments, or clothing.
Every day, the monastery holds four services in its chapel, along with Mass on Sunday.
“We’re very sad,” Ridley said. “It’s a real loss to the city of Tucson and the people that we have grown to love and who love us.”

This is a smaller side menu of the main menu booklet. It displays special prices and deals for the customers. The numbers and words are big and white, the words in capital letters. The words also have a 3D effect. The purpose of such typographical use is to catch the eye of the customers to alert them of the current deals of the restaurant.
The learning journey ended with a visit to the Bolyki winery in Eger. The winemaker, Janos Bolyki built a successful brand from the scratch. He cultivates grapes on 26 hectares, and the cellar includes an artificially formed tunnel in the rocks, providing a perfect environment for events as well.

The annual PowerPlex User Conference is packed wall-to-wall with value content. We spend a few days filling our heads with best practices, new ideas and more capabilities. So at the end of the day, we like to unplug our brains for a few hours and have some fun. We call it “PartyPlex”. It’s a chance to hang-out with all the Plex users and Plexians, engage in some friendly competition and raise money for one of our favorite charities.
This year’s PartyPlex took place at the new Dallara IndyCar Racing Experience in Speedway, Indiana. Attendees experienced the thrill of racing with laps in the cockpit of a street legal IndyCar, behind the wheel of racing simulator games and around the minicar track. There was plenty of good food, drink and music to go around.
This year’s focus charity was the Make-A-Wish Foundation of Michigan. Make-A-Wish grants the wishes of children with life-threatening medical conditions to enrich the human experience with joy. We think it’s a remarkable organization. We were delighted to raise more than $21,000 to support their efforts with the PartyPlex Silent Auction and games.
